"I only gave him generous rewards, but I didn't let him lead the army in battle."
King Zhao said seriously: "I have heard that after King Zhao of Yan became the king, he wanted to recruit talented people from all over the world to revitalize the country of Yan. A man named Guo Wei said: Once upon a time, there was a king who was willing to buy a king with a thousand gold.
A thousand-mile horse was not available for three years, so an unknown person under the monarch asked to buy it, but in the end he bought the horse's bones for five hundred gold."
"The king was very angry, but the person who bought the bones said: I am doing this to let everyone in the world know that you really want to buy horse bones, not to deceive others. Sure enough, many people soon sent Chollima horses.
"
"Mr. Guo Wei said: If you really want to get talents, you should be like the king who bought a thousand-mile horse. You can start with me. When people in the world see that people like me will be reused, people more talented than me will also come.
Serve you. So, the King of Yan followed his advice and quickly attracted talented and wise people, and the Yan State finally became strong. This is the method that I have followed."
King Zhao said seriously: "Now I have generous rewards for people like Zheng Anping, and more talented people will come to join us."
Yu Qing shook his head and said seriously: "You are wrong. The person who bought the bones originally used five hundred gold to buy the bones and one thousand gold to buy the horse. Zheng Anping is the horse bone, and General Lian Po is the thousand-mile horse.
What you are doing now is to give the horse bones a thousand gold and the thousand-mile horse nine hundred. The fiefdom of the horse bones is even larger than that of the thousand-mile horse. Not only will this fail to attract more thousand-mile horses, but it will drive away the domestic thousand-mile horses."
King Zhao was stunned and speechless. After pondering for a moment, he asked: "Then...is there any remedy?"
Yu Qing sighed helplessly. It would obviously be inappropriate to deprive Zheng Anping of his title. He then said: "Please reward General Lian Po again. At least let the world know that you treat thousands of miles of horses and horse bones."
The difference..." King Zhao nodded and said, "I understand."
Soon, King Zhao once again gave Lian Po a generous reward. Not only did he increase his food, but he also gave him very precious jade stones, exquisitely crafted bows and arrows, and twenty good horses, but he did not give him any more gifts.
Regarding Zheng Anping's reward, Lian Po said nothing more about King Zhao's actions, neither refused nor thanked him.
At this time, Wei Wuji, who was far away in Xinzheng, was in big trouble. Because of Bai Qi's heart-attack strategy, the soldiers lost the will to fight and even started fighting among themselves. Zhao and Wei were not even close to each other.
It is a too friendly country, and there are conflicts between the soldiers. Bai Qi's separate treatment at the beginning completely ignited this conflict. Although the two sides would not fight directly, they no longer communicated with each other. When Wei Wuji made arrangements,
Both parties are unwilling to communicate or rescue.
The larger the army, the better. On the contrary, a coalition army like the one Wei Wuji is commanding now is the most difficult to command, because the commander cannot command the army like waving his arms. Bai Qi launched a strong attack, and more and more
Many cities fell, and Bai Qi personally led his soldiers to attack Maling and the Changshe area, directly and forcefully cutting off the connection between Chu and Zhao and Wei. His army set out towards the north, obviously intending to besiege the Xinzheng defense area.
Wei Wuji saw his purpose, led the army to attack Zhuoze, and made preparations to attack Yangzhai, forcing Bai Qi not to go deep. Jingyang also led people to defend Anling and Santing to resist Bai Qi's crazy attack.
In the melee, the situation of the battle was unpredictable, but no one side had a clear advantage. What everyone did not expect was that Lord Xinling, the clan member of the Wei Kingdom, was actually fighting equally with Bai Qi.
Although he was at a disadvantage in many battles, he did not collapse and could still completely resist Bai Qi. The reputation of Lord Xinling was immediately spread throughout the countries. He was a general who could fight Bai Qi head-on.
Not many. Over the years, no one has been able to persist for so long. Only Zhao Kuo had defeated him once before. Now Wei Wuji did not let Bai Qi easily complete his strategy.
This may be something Bai Qi never expected. The young man who was chased by Bai Qi and ran around all over Korea was now able to fight him back and forth. This of course aroused Bai Qi's desire for victory.
Since then, Bai Qi once again performed a feat that no one dared to imagine. With a core combat strength of 100,000 people, he forcibly crossed the Mishui River under the resistance of Jingyang.
It dealt a heavy blow to the Chu army.
The Chu army was stationed along the Jishui River. Jingyang tried his best to defend, but still could not stop Bai Qi. Bai Qi fought across the river from three directions at the same time. Generally speaking, no one would choose to cross the river when the enemy was stationed.
, Bai Qi did just that. Relying on the Qin people's strong coordination ability and Bai Qi's terrifying commanding ability, the Qin people attracted the enemy back and forth on the Jishui River. After spreading the enemy's defense line, they finally crossed the river suddenly.
.
Jingyang was stunned.
He finally saw the gap in command between himself and Bai Qi. Bai Qi could command 100,000 people as if they were one person. They cooperated with each other seamlessly. He scattered 100,000 people along the coast and crossed the river separately. After crossing the river, they again
Being able to quickly gather together and join in the battle, Jingyang was defeated again. This time, the Chu army was directly knocked out of all confidence. More than 60,000 people were captured, and Jingyang once again retreated with the remaining troops.
This time, Jingyang could no longer recruit the collapsed soldiers. These soldiers fled. The Chu State was defeated repeatedly. They had lost confidence and fled each other, unwilling to fight again.
Jingyang picked up the dagger several times and put it down several times... He had to pay the price for his incompetence, but not now. He was the only one in Chu State now, and no one could replace him. Jingyang was not good at it.
To defend, but Chu's national strength was not enough to support his attack, Jingyang picked up the wine bag again and became drunk. He took less than 20,000 Chu soldiers and fled back to Xu. He sent people to win over the defeated troops.
, rest again.
After taking care of the annoying Chu people, Bai Qi immediately turned around to deal with Lord Xinling.
Wei Wuji took advantage of Bai Qi's main force to attack Chu, captured Yangzhai, and blocked Qin's main force at the junction of South Korea and Chu. Of course, this could not trap Bai Qi. Bai Qi could attack.
There are many places, not to mention other things, even if Bai Qi attacked Xinzheng with all his strength, Wei Wuji couldn't stand it.
After the Chu State experienced such a great defeat, it still did not surrender. Chun Shenjun said: The Qin State is tyrannical and unjust, attacking the princes for no reason, making the people miserable. A country like this should be united by all countries to attack it! Chun Shenjun said
It was not just a matter of words. He sent envoys to the Western Zhou Kingdom to find the Emperor of Zhou, and told the Emperor of Zhou about Qin's tyranny.
Ji Yan, the emperor of Zhou, is already very old. He can no longer stand up and can only lie down to meet the envoys of Chu. Now the emperor of Zhou does not have his own territory and can only stay in the kingdoms of the princes. He now
Living in the territory of the Duke of Western Zhou, he had just fallen seriously ill and looked at the Chu envoy exhausted. He did not have the energy to listen to Chu's remarks, but he just did not dare not to see the Chu envoy.
The envoy from the Chu State brought Huang Xie's words: The Qin State is tyrannical. Now he is attacking other princes without any reason. I also heard that he has the ambition to rule the world. He cannot tolerate you. As the co-owner of the world, please give your order.
All the countries in the world have gathered to attack Qin, and if they are unwilling to send troops, then they will provide Chu with some food so that Chu can protect all the princes from being invaded by Qin.
When Emperor Zhou heard this, he was naturally a little scared. However, now that he was obeying Qin's orders, he did not dare to betray him. The envoy had no choice but to tell Emperor Zhou of Qin's plan to rule the world under one rule.
The emperor became frightened, and hurriedly got up from the bed, and summoned his confidants to discuss the matter. Everyone was very dissatisfied with Qin's arrogance. After hearing the words of the Chu envoy, they immediately wanted to
Emperor Zhou agreed to Chun Shenjun's request.
The Qin State is no longer the Qin State it once was. He originally wanted to annex other countries. Qin State would not take our small territory seriously and would not think about destroying it. But now he wants to rule the world.
Then as the emperor, you are the first target that the Qin State wants to get rid of.
Ji Yan immediately, as the emperor, issued a royal order to all the princes, asking him to attack the unjust State of Qin. If he could not send troops, he should also help the countries at war with Qin. At the same time, Ji Yan also thought of sending troops.
To fight, it was a pity that he had no money or food to recruit soldiers. Some confidants advised him to borrow money from the rich in the country and return the money to them after defeating Qin.
Ji Yan naturally agreed. He borrowed a lot of money and food from the country, and then ordered the Duke of Western Zhou to lead five thousand elites to send troops to help Chu.
After Emperor Zhou gave the order, the State of Yan immediately sent troops. The newly enthroned King of Yan ignored the dissuasion of everyone in the country and summoned an army to help Emperor Zhou and attack the violent Qin Dynasty. And Chu, Wei, Zhao, Han and other countries also successively accepted the emperor's crown.
Of course, they were originally at war with Qin. In the end, Qi and Lu also responded to the call of Emperor Zhou and once again provided food to support Chu and Wei.
Emperor Zhou finally found the feeling that Zhou once again commanded the world, and the princes responded one after another. This made Emperor Zhou extremely excited.
...
In Handan, Lord Chang'an got a courtyard. The courtyard was located outside Handan. King Zhao was probably afraid that he would cause trouble in the city, so he arranged a courtyard for him outside the city. The courtyard was not very luxurious, but it was very, very big.
, you can race horses in the courtyard, Chang'an Jun has a paranoid enthusiasm for horses, which makes the neighing of various horses always heard in his courtyard.
Lord Chang'an stood in the courtyard, looking at the snow-white horse in front of him with fascination. His eyes were full of heat. The horse was tall and strong, even taller than Lord Chang'an. The horse lowered its head and was eating grass. Lord Chang'an was fascinated.
He stroked the horse's mane, very intoxicated, and took out grass to feed the horse. The horse started to eat the grass in his hand, and Chang'an Jun laughed happily.
There are more than thirty horses in his courtyard. Of course, these are not all good horses. There are also wild horses among them. But Chang'an Lord also likes them very much. His love for horses seems to have nothing to do with showing off or anything else.
It was a pure love. He always fed these horses himself. Once, he saw someone whipping a horse pulling a cart on the road, beating and scolding him endlessly. Lord Chang'an immediately ordered him to be captured and driven.
, pick up the whip and whip him, and let him try the feeling of pulling a cart...
However, he has a hot temper, but he hates these horses resisting him. Even his favorite good horses, if they throw them down or disobey, he will kill them mercilessly.
Beside the horse, there is a young man. The young man is bent over, grinning, and his face is flattering and disgusting. Of course, he is very favored here in Chang'an Jun, not just because he is good at
He flatters horses, and because of his excellent horse breeding and horse identification skills, he can always find the most docile horses for Lord Chang'an, and raise these horses to be fat and strong.
"Originally there was a good horse that I wanted to dedicate to you, but it was snatched away by Wei Wuji's disciples... Alas, I heard that Wei Wuji defeated Bai Qi in Korea. When he comes back, we people are going to
I have been even more humiliated...", the young man shook his head and sighed. Chang'an Jun's face suddenly lost his smile. He squinted his eyes and asked: "He defeated Bai Qi in Korea?"
"I don't know, that's what his clientele said."
"Ha..." Chang'an Jun snorted coldly. After thinking for a moment, he didn't know what he remembered. He continued to stroke the horse in front of him and asked in a low voice: "How are the arrangements in various places?"
"It's all set up."
"Then let them do it."
"But... Lord Pingyang didn't allow us to do anything, he said..."
"I said... let them take action." Chang'an Jun raised his head, his eyes full of ferocity. The young man trembled all over, nodded hurriedly and said: "I understand." Chang'an Jun then smiled.
He got up, took the reins from his hand, got on the horse's back in a few steps, and started galloping wildly in the courtyard. The young man just smiled charmingly and watched Chang'an Jun ride away. Gradually, his face changed.
Gotta calm down.
There was some disdain or teasing in his eyes.
It would be a shame to leave such a stupid thing unused.
In fact, since returning to Handan, Chang'an Jun has done nothing. He only injured a few passers-by.
However, he had to bear the infamy and receive a severe beating from Zhao Kuo. Anyway, after he was wrongfully accused, he just yelled and never thought about what was going on.
ps: I would like to sacrifice my friend's new book "The Three Kingdoms Begins with Jia Xu's Fooling", which is about traveling through Zhangxiu. There is also a book "Emperors Making Domestic Things in the Group". They are all seedlings. After dedicating them, they should be able to help me.
In exchange for a lot of recommendation votes and monthly votes.
