When the King of Qin heard what happened in Yan, he was a little confused.
The Yan State has long been invaded by the Hu people outside Liaodong. Outside Liaodong, there are several relatively ancient ethnic groups, including the Donghu. The Donghu is a very powerful nomadic tribe. They speak the Altaic language and have historical records.
Experts believe that Donghu is "tonggus" in the Altaic language family, which is the transliteration of Tungus. Later unearthed information shows that the Donghu people may also be engaged in farming, half farming and half herding. They are strong in the east of the Xiongnu.
The conflicts and exchanges with Zhao and Yan are the most frequent, and there are trade exchanges.
There are Pi people in the west and Yi people in the east... Well, everyone probably still remembers the Dong Yi ethnic group... Later, the Yi tribe merged with the Yi tribe and was called the Bo people. They were also an ancient ethnic group in Liaodong, and
Different from other Hu people, they are a farming people, not nomadic. The land in Liaodong is relatively fertile. There is also Su Shen, one of the ancestors of modern Manchu and other ethnic groups. When King Wu of Zhou Dynasty, they paid tribute to Zhu
The people of Zhou Dynasty were very happy about Yashi Niu and thought it was a very great achievement.
And he took the tribute from Su Shen as an important proof of his martial arts.
The people of Zhou happily said: "Sushen, Yan, Bo, are my northern soil." Sushen has since become one of the ancient Chinese ethnic groups, and the academic definition is one of the ethnic groups in ancient Northeast China... They probably made a living by fishing and hunting.
They are neither nomadic nor farming. The Yan State has long been fighting against the Hu people outside Liaodong. During the period when Li Fu was the Prime Minister, Li Fu successfully established counties throughout Liaodong, spreading the Yan State's sphere of influence to
The entire Northeast region.
At the same time, some Donghu people, some Hao people, and other large and small Hu people living in the local area also became subjects of the Yan Kingdom and obeyed the rule of King Yan. Li Fu spent his whole life thinking about pacifying the country as soon as possible.
Here, we completely controlled this place, but after Li Fu died in the battle, the situation in Liaodong became a bit uneven. The subsequent generations of Yan kings treated these barbarians living in the territory differently.
They were allowed to be persecuted by officials and merchants, and a large number of them were recruited during the war, forcing them to continuously perform corvee service and build the Great Wall... This led to the increasingly serious separatist tendencies in the country. Later, Ju Xin led these people
When fighting Qin, they surrendered without fighting, and even hoped to help Qin fight. However, their strength was not strong. If they were as strong as the Xiongnu and Donghu, they would not be captured by Yan.
The King of Qin could not understand why there was such a rebellion in the Yan State. Why were the rebellious Hu people so powerful? Could they even defeat the Yan State's army?
Li Si sat in front of King Qin and said with a wry smile: "Yan State learned from our system, which triggered this rebellion."
“What’s wrong with our system?”
Li Si smiled and said: "The thing is like this. Years ago, Yan State implemented a military merit system, and then recruited domestic soldiers to fight against Donghu, and gained a lot of land..."
"Isn't this a good thing?"
"The problem lies here. Our military merit system can be implemented because we have enough land. We let the soldiers attack the Wei State, and then distribute the fertile land of the Wei State to the meritorious soldiers... The soldiers will
The more active the war, the more powerful the Qin State will be. The places Yan State attacks are the most bitter and cold places, and they are places of little value."
"After conquering these places, in order to reward the army, the Yan State distributed the land originally cultivated by the Hu people in the country to the Yan people with meritorious service, and then distributed the bitter and cold lands outside the country to the Hu people...Those places were not suitable for farming...
.The Hu people in Liaodong were furious, thinking that they worked hard to fight for the Yan State, but in the end they did not receive any reward. Instead, they were forced to leave their hometown and rush to a bitter and cold land. This was King Yan's revenge for kindness..."
"So several groups of Hu people gathered together and elected a warrior to be their leader to attack King Yan's army..."
"The King of Yan must have many soldiers. How did the Hu people defeat them?"
"Haha, when fighting the Hu people outside the Great Wall, the King of Yan recruited these domestic Hu people many times. They have been fighting against the Hu people outside the Great Wall for a long time and have rich experience. The local Yan people hid in the rear and enjoyed the gains. As a result, after the war started, these soldiers of the King of Yan
They are no match for the Hu people..." Speaking of which, Li Si almost laughed. He really couldn't understand Yan State's operation. It was normal to use the Hu people in the country to fight.
The Qin State did the same thing. When Li Mu went to conquer the Xiongnu, he had only a bunch of barbarian knights under his command. After defeating the enemy, Qi still considered the barbarians and changed their rewards from land to livestock, which was a great encouragement.
Their morale has been damaged. What happened to the Yan people? Taking away the land of the meritorious soldiers and letting them move outside the Great Wall is of course a helpless move. After all, they do not have the land to realize the rewards of military merit. But in this case
, then you have to bear the consequences yourself.
"They want to ask us to surrender?"
"Yeah...most of these Liaodong Hu people are engaged in farming. They have a very bad relationship with the Donghu people outside the Great Wall. They have no allies. After defeating the Yan army, they sent envoys to ask Qin
Send troops to help them..." Li Si said, and King Qin nodded. The Hu people in Liaodong had expressed their dissatisfaction with the Yan State a long time ago, and even asked Qin when he planned to come to Liaodong.
King Qin squinted his eyes and asked, "What do you think?"
"Your Majesty, this is a good thing. You can conquer the entire Yan Kingdom without any effort..." Li Si agreed to send troops. King Qin actually agreed in his heart. The Yan Kingdom was about to destroy itself, and it would be useless if he didn't send troops.
Appropriate, but the King of Qin was also very bitter. Alas, this finally solved the problem of insufficient officials. After swallowing up the Yan State, the problem of officials was about to arise again. I originally wanted to delay it for a few more years. Why did these people do this?
Are you asking for death in a hurry?
Do you want to support Qin to death or what?
The King of Qin quickly asked his generals to come, and all the generals, including Zhao Kuo, rushed to the palace. Zhao Kuo stood at the head of the crowd, but Liao, the Taiwei, stood behind him.
Then came Wang Jian, Li Mu, Zhao Kang, Sima Shang, Meng Wu, Yang Duanhe, Qiang Yu, Huan Jue... There were so many generals in the Qin State, and Zhao Kuo also noticed that there were more generals in office.
One person.
The man standing behind Liao seemed to have been promoted recently.
The King of Qin talked about the affairs of the State of Yan very calmly. Zhao Kuo could not help but frown. When he talked about the State of Yan, he would think of Yan Dan... After the King of Qin finished speaking, the generals seemed a little excited. The generals of the State of Qin
, of course they all want to get the position of king. However, it is not easy to become king. The title of Marquis of Guannei is rare. Now the Yan country is empty. If it can destroy the Yan country, it will be a great achievement.
King Qin said, but looked at Zhao Kuo.
However, Zhao Kuo did not speak for a long time, and King Qin had no choice but to look at Liao. Liao looked at Zhao Kuo in front of him thoughtfully, and said: "Your Majesty, the Yan State is not a powerful enemy, but in this situation,
If we don't capture it, Wang Jia of Zhongshan on the border of Yan State will find a way to capture Yan State, which will be detrimental to Qin State. Please send a general to attack Yan State and Zhongshan State."
Liao said solemnly: "King Yan is tyrannical and oppresses the people in the country. The people of Yan can't stand his atrocities and want to welcome Qin's army to save themselves. How can Qin just sit idly by?" King Qin smiled and said.
: "You are right. I wonder which general is willing to go on an expedition?"
King Qin still hoped that Zhao Kuo would speak, but Zhao Kuo did not speak, so the other generals did not dare to speak. They did not dare to fight with Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo stroked his beard and said: "I am not feeling well and will not be able to go on an expedition in the near future. Please choose your choice."
Let a suitable general go out." After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, Zhao Kang couldn't help it. He stood up and said, "I am willing to go!"
"I'm willing to go!"
“I would like to go!!”
Since Zhao Kuo refused, the other generals were of course not polite. Zhao Kang, Sima Shang, Yang Duanhe, Meng Wu and other generals spoke almost at the same time. King Qin looked at these people, thought for a long time, and said: "General Wang Jian,
This time, I invite you to go on an expedition... please Yang Duanhe, Huanjue, Wang Ben... Mengtian..." King Qin looked at the young general, thought for a moment, and read out his name.
, "...Li Xin and others will go on an expedition with you."
Wang Jian naturally did not refuse. He bowed to King Qin and agreed.
The King of Qin asked Wang Jian to take charge of this matter and asked them to leave. At the same time, Zhao Kuo and Zhao Kang were left behind... Ying Zheng sat in front of Zhao Kuo and said with a smile: "Father, according to your opinion, I
The appointment of generals has been completed."
"my thoughts?"
"Yes, you don't want to go on an expedition because you don't want to fulfill General Wang Jian, and you want to give young generals a chance..."
Sure enough, Ying Zheng knew Zhao Kuo very well, and Zhao Kang became a little angry. He argued: "I am also a young general." King Qin didn't even look at him. He asked: "This war against Yan State, what will happen?
Probably different from other wars..."
As soon as Li Mu walked out of the palace, a young man stopped him and greeted him with the courtesy of a junior. Li Mu hurriedly returned the greeting. Wang Jian looked at him with a smile and said, "This is your fellow clansman from Beidi."
The son of the prefect Di Daohou... is called Xin. He admires you very much, but is afraid of offending you..." Li Mu looked at the young man in front of him. The young man had a slender figure, a resolute face, and was full of vitality.
Lao Ran had a son named Zong. Li Zong served as a doctor in Wei State and was granted the title of Duan Qian. Duan Qianzi in Wei State is his descendant...that is, the descendant of Lao Tzu...well, at the same time
, he is also the common ancestor of the Longxi and Zhao Li clans. Therefore, Li Xin of Longxi and Li Mu of Zhao are considered to be of the same clan. After the two met, Wang Jian explained that this young man was originally a county official.
Lieutenant.
Later, because he defeated thieves and groups of thieves in the county many times, defeating many with less, and his results were extremely exaggerated, he came to Xianyang and now serves under Taiwei Liao.
The young man was probably a little nervous in front of Li Mu and was speechless. Most of the time he listened to Wang Jian praising him. Wang Jian was in a very good mood. After destroying the Yan Kingdom, he also got his title. Over the years,
, he followed Zhao Kuo to kill all directions, and achieved countless achievements. The greatest achievement was achieved when he defeated Li Mu, and almost destroyed the Zhao Kingdom with his partial army.
Li Mu also had a good impression of this young man from the same clan and said, "If you have any confusion, you can come to me."
The generals of the Qin State did not pay attention to the State of Yan at all. The State of Yan was not a strong country in the first place, and now it has become an isolated city. It is really not difficult to destroy the State of Yan. This is why Zhao Kuo did not go out personally to fight.
The reason is that this is a good opportunity to sharpen young people. He is already old. Sooner or later, he will leave. Qin needs young people. These young people will continue to defend the people and the country after their death.
Zhao Kuo returned home and was about to read some books when he saw a young man rushing in.
"Father Zhong..." the young man shouted while wiping his tears.
Zhao Kuo stared at him for a long time and finally recognized him. This young man called him Zhongshu Ge... He was Di's youngest son. Di earned himself the surname of Zhongshu... Zhao Kuo
Seeing his hurried face, he suddenly became confused. He stood up and asked tremblingly, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Father is dying...please go over and have a look."
"What did you say..." At that moment, Zhao Kuo felt cold all over. Under the leadership of the young man, he hurriedly got into the carriage and the carriage galloped away... Soon, Zhao Kuo arrived at Di's mansion
, Di bought a house in the east of Xianyang. He had been complaining that the house prices here were too expensive. The money to buy a house here could buy ten houses in Handan. When Zhao Kuo walked into the inner room, he saw
Lying weakly on the bed, Di.
Di Ping was lying on the bed, his hair all white, breathing weakly.
The movement of Zhao Kuo's approach alarmed him, and Di slowly opened his eyes, turned his head and looked at Zhao Kuo.
"Di..." Zhao Kuo sat down and held his hand.
"Master...you are here..." Di grinned and looked weakly at Zhao Kuo in front of him, "Master, I miss my horse uniform so much...freedom...drinking and having fun..."
"I miss you very much too. I have already called the medical officer... When you get better, I will go to Handan with you and we will go to the horse service..."
"I can't go back... Master, why are you crying? You don't have to be sad for me... It's a pity that I still have a lot to say to you..."
"Then you say it...Then you say it..." Zhao Kuo couldn't help crying and held his hand tightly.
Di's eyes lit up, he struggled to raise his head, and said excitedly: "There is one thing, I just want to tell you, don't tell others...Actually, that..." He just spoke, but his expression suddenly became dull, he
Looking blankly at Zhao Kuo in front of him, after a moment, his head fell heavily on the pillow, his eyes staring straight ahead, but motionless... Zhao Kuo originally thought that after experiencing so many lives and deaths, he had already worn out
I developed an extremely tough heart.
But the moment his old friend left, he could still feel the crack in his heart, as if a knife had cut off a piece of flesh in his heart... The severe pain made Zhao Kuo couldn't help but cover his chest, his whole body
But the person started crying like a young child, the crying became louder and louder, and the tears couldn't stop flowing... Di raised three children, and his wife left when she gave birth to the third child, but
He never married again.
He raised three children by himself and suffered a lot.
The two daughters are already married, and the youngest son is still in school.
He always advised his son to be cautious in what he said, not to talk nonsense, to keep secrets... and to study hard.
That day, Zhao Kuo hugged Di and cried for a long time.
That night, Zhao Kuo once again dreamed of Mafu Township.
He saw that Ge and Di were insulting each other, one was an old thief who no one wanted, and the other was an rude barbarian.
But he just looked at them quietly, with tears on his face.
ps: The New Year has passed...can I get a haircut?
