"I heard that in Korea, Wei Wuji led the warriors of Zhao and Wei, and defeated generals like Wang Ling who were good at leading troops, so that Qin's army could only be stationed outside Xinzheng and could not defeat other countries. Should
Hou sent me a letter, saying: The war is urgent, please complete what I have ordered as soon as possible."
"Father Zhong, the people we arranged have not sharpened their weapons, fed their horses, or oiled their chariots. If we proceed in a hurry, we may fail."
"No matter whether this matter succeeds or fails, Wei Wuji cannot continue to stay in Handan, so go ahead and execute it."

Chu people like to wear red clothes, wear high crowns, and have exquisite birds embroidered on their clothes. They wave their sleeves like proud phoenixes. Chu people have a different kind of pride and are always full of themselves.
Confidence has a different kind of romance. Chu people like to sing very much. Whether they see beautiful scenery or meet a woman they like, they all like to sing a song and express their feelings.
Chu people have a resolute personality, but they are not as rigorous as Xianyang people. Chu people have a romantic life, but they are not as elegant as Handan people.
Chu State has a vast territory, and the people living on this land are always singing songs in different tones and sweating while farming. Occasionally, merchants' ox carts pass by on the road, and the merchants will smile and sing with them. Unfortunately, it continues
The war lasted for two years and destroyed everything. Many Chu people died in this war. Chendu, Shangcai, Chengyang and other extremely prosperous and busy places now only have ruins left.
There are no living people here anymore, let alone humans, not even dogs or birds can be found.
After several battles between the Qin people and the Chu State, this place became a restricted area for life. Of course, except for these frontline areas, in other areas of the Chu State, people's songs could no longer be heard, and the old people trembled.
He walked majestically on the cultivated land, looking at the cultivated land that was covered with weeds because no one had taken care of it. He bent down and wanted to pull out the weeds. However, he was already very old, and he couldn't even do anything after throwing away his crutches.
go ahead.
The old people looked at these abandoned cultivated lands and cried. Even if they worked hard for a year, they could not finish their work. The cultivated land they planted was only thirty or forty acres, and this was not enough to pay the tax. Even if they did not pay the tax,
The taxes were not enough for them to use for a year. Looking at the scrawny grandson beside him, the little guy didn't understand his elder father's difficulties. He just pointed to his mouth and said: "Hungry."
The old man clenched his hands into fists, hit himself in the face hard, and shouted in a broken voice: "Eat me...eat me."
The young people were either on the battlefield or on the road. Chun Shenjun recruited a lot of soldiers for this war. The rest of the people also had to help transport supplies. In order to support the front line, Chun Shenjun recruited several more soldiers.
Fu... Chu people suffered numerous casualties. Unfortunately, due to heavy rains, many cities in Chu State suffered from floods, and more Chu people threw themselves directly into the river. They could no longer survive.
Got it!
The Chu scholars could not relax. They either surrendered to the army or used their food reserves to support the battlefield. Those who had lost their retainers, retainers, and almost everything put on their brightest clothes.
He put on his clothes, drove the car himself, stood up, his long sleeves fluttered in the wind, and the scholar sang: "The Emperor Gaoyang's descendant is here, my emperor is called Boyong~~"
There are also scholars who used their family property to help the people who were affected by the disaster. Looking at these people who have been tortured to the point of numbness, they murmured: "I take a long breath to cover my tears, I am sorry for the hardships of the people's livelihood..."
At this time, some people appeared from various places. These people were out-and-out Chu people, said to have escaped from Shangcai. They told about the king's disregard for the lives and deaths of the people and his unwillingness to negotiate peace with the Qin people.
After talking about the dignitaries he saw in Shouchun, all the food that was given to the people was eaten by them. After that, they talked about the origins of various countries. We are not Chu people at all, just ours.
The country was destroyed by the Chu State back then!
When these remarks reached the ears of the nobles from the common people, some nobles chose to kill...while others directly took out their own property and distributed it to the nearby common people.
When they burst into tears of gratitude, they said seriously: I want to achieve great things with my two or three sons.
In September of the fifth year of King Chu's reign, Zuo Si, a nobleman who served as the Duke of Dongling County, gathered people to rebel. For a time, they attacked several cities. After him, rebels emerged one after another in all parts of Chu State. Some people
Because they couldn't survive, Lord Chun Shen ordered them to send people to support the battlefield and send food, but they had nothing. If they couldn't fulfill Lord Chun Shen's order, they would be executed. So they could only angrily raise an army and kill them.
Xiang Shouchun.
Some people just think that now is the best time. The war between the royal family and the public family in Chu has never stopped. There are many aristocratic rebellions in Chu State. Because of its unique political system, the strength of the domestic monarchs is very high.
Since the Spring and Autumn Period, successive Chu kings have been trying to weaken these feudal lords, and many talented people have carried out reforms, but they cannot be said to be very successful.
The first person who tried to reform the old aristocracy but failed was Qu Yuan.
The Chu State was really in chaos, and rebels emerged from all over the country. They often raised troops in the name of attacking Chun Shenjun. The King of Chu was furious and could only order Jingyang to detach an army to suppress the domestic rebellion, because the rebellion was
Because of this, the delivery of food to Jingyang was no longer as smooth as usual, and Jingyang's army was short of food. Poor Jingyang was so devastated that he could only send a partial army to attack the rebels.
Bai Qi did not let go of this chaotic opportunity. Taking advantage of Jingyang's lack of food, he divided his troops. Bai Qi ordered Meng Wu to attack the Chu army fiercely. The two sides fought. Bai Qi was sure that Wei Wuji would come to the rescue. He personally set an ambush and waited for Wei Wuji's reinforcements.
...Sure enough, Wei Wuji mistakenly thought that Bai Qi was leading the army to attack the Chu people, so he marched quickly, and encountered Bai Qi's ambush on the way. The three Jin coalition forces retreated in defeat. Without the support of the three Jin coalition forces, Jingyang was defeated again.
.
Jingyang gathered the remaining troops and stationed them between Anling and Yangxia in order to better communicate with the three Jin coalition forces. The situation became somewhat clear. Bai Qi was stationed in Yangzhai, Wei Wuji was stationed in Xinzheng, and Chu troops were all over Anling.
Ling, Yangxia. It can be said that Jingyang was very smart. He directly transferred the battlefield from the Chu State to another country, which could be regarded as reducing the losses of the Chu State. Bai Qi captured 40,000 prisoners in this battle.
Soon, the high-pitched voices of Qin officials were heard again in Yangzhai. When they talked about Ma Fushu, the captured Zhao people were confused. Bai Qi ordered to treat these prisoners differently. The captured Zhao people
The soldiers enjoyed the best treatment, and the food, drink, and accommodation were different from other prisoners. The Qin officials were also very enthusiastic towards them, and often asked them about Ma Fujun's deeds, and analyzed them for everyone based on the books in their hands.
In the prisoner camp, Zhao Ren raised his head and said with a smile: "It's because of Mr. Ma Fu that the second and third sons saved their lives."
The Wei people, who were tied together and didn't have enough to eat, looked at the Zhao people with jealousy and cursed angrily: "Ying Kuo is a thief, and the Zhao people are all shameless common men!"
Immediately, the Zhao people rushed up, pushed the Wei man to the ground and beat him severely.
The prisoner-of-war camp became chaotic. Bai Qi, who was standing on the high slope, looked at the chaos in the prisoner-of-war camp coldly. He watched the Qin people help the Zhao people beat the captured Wei people, and then he nodded and said
: "Okay, let these people go."
These prisoners left Bai Qi's camp and rushed towards Xinzheng. Even the Chu people were no exception. The Chu people had no idea where their main force was. Along the way, conflicts broke out repeatedly between Zhao and Wei. The Qin people
He gave the Zhao people some weapons to use for self-defense, so during the fight, the Zhao people killed many unarmed Wei people. Even with the help of the Chu people, the Wei people could not defeat the armed Zhao people.
They could only endure the humiliation, grit their teeth, and arrived in Xinzheng without saying a word.
Only the Koreans, trembling with fear, watched the battle between the two sides.
Wei Wuji stood at the top of Xinzheng City, took out the wine bag and took a sip. Then he looked at the soldiers who stood at the city gate and walked into the city one by one after checking. Mao Sui stood beside him.
Mao Sui was a disciple of Lord Pingyuan. He was a man of eloquence and courage, so Lord Pingyuan recommended him to the King of Wei and became the commander-in-chief of the Wei army this time. He noticed that Wei Wuji's tightly wrinkled face
raised eyebrows.
"Master is not happy?"
"I don't know..." Wei Wuji shook his head. These people survived and returned to Xinzheng. This should be a happy thing, but the problem is that Bai Qi let them go, not out of kindness.
He was a good friend of Zhao Kuo, and Zhao Kuo once told him about the army of benevolent people. In the eyes of Wei Wuji and other generals, the so-called army of benevolence and righteousness is actually an army that is good at attacking the heart, which can influence the enemy and weaken the enemy's combat effectiveness.
..
Wei Wuji already knew what happened to Jingyang. Bai Qi passed through some rout troops, and the Chu army that was stunned and killed was defeated at the first touch. Wei Wuji sighed, these people may not be able to go to the battlefield in a short time. He was thinking,
Suddenly he heard someone in the city shouting in surprise. He was stunned, threw down the wine bag, and rushed down the city wall. In Xinzheng, the Wei people who returned to the city started fighting with the Zhao people.
"The Zhao people are collaborating with the enemy!"
"They killed our people!"
When Wei Wuji came here, there were a lot of casualties on both sides. As soon as Wei Wuji arrived, the surrounding generals immediately came out to control their troops and quickly suppressed the disturbance. Whether it was Zhao or Wei
After seeing Wei Wuji, everyone seemed to have found a backbone. The people of Wei trusted their son very much. Lord Xinling was very famous in Wei.
Of course, the Zhao people would also believe in their commander-in-chief, so both sides came to complain almost at the same time and talk about their grievances.
Wei Wuji listened for a moment, and then his face became very ugly.
A general who was good at encirclement and annihilation has now become a master at attacking people's hearts. Just treating prisoners differently has widened the gap between the Zhao and Wei coalition forces. In fact, Wei Wuji is still a little helpless. If he punishes the Zhao people, it is because he is the prince of Wei.
With his identity, Bai Qi will definitely make a big fuss. If he does nothing, then the King of Wei will probably not allow him to serve as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces...
Wei Wuji squinted his eyes, and suddenly he laughed, shook his head, and said loudly: "This is Bai Qi's strategy to attack the heart. The second and third sons can't see it, but I can understand it. He deliberately treats the two sides differently.
He wanted to make the soldiers of Zhao and Wei fight each other so that he could take advantage of this chaos to capture Xinzheng..." Wei Wuji looked at everyone seriously and asked: "How could the second and third sons do such a thing?
What about things that make friends sad and enemies happy?"
Wei Wuji changed the topic from punishment to Bai Qi's treacherous plot, accused Bai Qi of his crimes, and persuaded everyone not to engage in internal fighting, and then ordered the generals to treat the returning prisoners well.
However, the matter was not over yet. Someone from Zhao said: Wei Wuji was originally the son of Wei State, and he just wanted to help the Wei people bully us.
In Daliang, someone told the King of Wei: Wei Wuji helped the Zhao people deliberately kill Wei's army. He just wanted to weaken Wei's strength so that he could lead Zhao's army to attack Wei in the future.
Wei Wuji soon discovered the chaos in the army. When the Wei people met the Zhao people, their eyes were full of anger. Because of Wei Wuji, the conflict did not break out, and the conflicts that had been suppressed forcibly would be even more terrifying when they broke out.
Wei Wuji had to admit that Bai Qi had become even more terrifying. Even if Ma Fujun was here, he might not be Bai Qi's opponent, because in front of Bai Qi, Ma Fujun also lost his only advantage.
Of course, Ma Fujun's benevolence and righteousness are real benevolence and righteousness, while Bai Qi's benevolence and righteousness are just for killing people better.
He was still killing people, but his sword was not stained with blood.
Qin has an excellent general, an excellent prime minister, and a king who can use them and control them. Therefore, Qin is not afraid of any enemy. Fan Ju's several strategies successfully made all the countries
It became chaotic, and Bai Qi also seized this opportunity and directly turned the disadvantage on the battlefield into an advantage, once again making the coalition forces of various countries dare not leave the city.
At this time, Zhao Kuo was busy relieving the victims.
After more than a year of hard work, the grassroots official system, the most important part of Wei Wuji's reform, gradually took shape. With the full support of Zhao Kuo, opponents from all over the country did not dare to take action anymore. Just as Wei Wuji thought, Zhao Kuo
He was a powerful supporter of the reform. He ordered Dong Chengzi to arrest those who persecuted the new officials and hold them accountable. With Zhao Kuo's participation, King Zhao could no longer protect those cronies.
Zhao Bao and others did not dare to make excessive moves when facing Zhao Kuo. Of course, they still opposed the reform. This has not changed. They would come to Zhao King all day long to complain about the disasters of the reform.
But King Zhao always smiled and asked them to go find Zhao Kuo. These things are all handled by Ma Fujun. What does it have to do with me?
The State of Zhao finally had a useful system of grassroots officials. Although it was immature, it could still play some role.
