Kuaiji waterway is accessible.
At this moment, on a small boat, two middle-aged scribes were sitting on the bow, looking at the water waves broken by the small boat, with obvious worry in their eyes.
He Yao sighed softly and said: "Brother Zifang is right. The Qin court's movements in Yunmeng are not out of force, but have other agendas. At present, many officials in the surrounding counties and counties of Yunmeng are under investigation. Many of the scholars hiding there also suffered, and our strength was also reduced a bit."
"Qin Ting has such a deep plan!"
He Yao's eyes were gloomy.
For the past few months, he has been asking around for information, always holding a certain sense of luck in his heart, thinking that Zhang Liang's worries were unfounded, but the final result slapped him hard in the face.
The First Emperor's chariot had just left.
The counties near Yunmeng were thoroughly investigated by officials from the Yushi Mansion and Tingwei Mansion.
Hundreds of officials were imprisoned.
At the same time, under the confessions of these officials, many scholars who thought nothing happened were in trouble and imprisoned. For a time, people around Yunmeng were panicked, and many of the remaining forces of the Six Nations were here. Escape.
Together.
Their influence on the surrounding areas of Yunmeng has been greatly reduced.
Yunmeng, the two hiding places that the nobles of the Six Kingdoms rely on most, is now close to half-wasted. This is something He Yao and others cannot accept no matter what, and in such a ridiculous way.
Therefore, He Yao's face was as black as ink for several days.
Zhang Liang stretched out his hand, felt the breeze brought by the waves with his hands, and said softly: "It is indeed our miscalculation in this matter. We have been too immersed in Qin Ting's grandeur and incompetence over the years, but we have ignored that Qin State is still that one." The Qin State that swept away Liuhe was just the relatively rigid administrative measures of the Qin court in the past, which made us feel scornful."
"That's what ultimately led to this man-made disaster."
"We too should wake up."
"The Qin court has changed. It is no longer as rigid as in the past and has become much more flexible. With such flexibility, it is no longer so easy to continue to use the techniques of weakening and trapping Qin."
"It's time for us to change our gaze."
Zhang Liang smiled.
He didn't seem to be worried about what was happening near Yunmeng.
He Yao said coldly: "The people of Qin are cunning and plotting secretly when we are not prepared. They are not gentlemen!"
Zhang Liang smiled and said: "There is no such thing as a gentleman in the way of governance, let alone a life-and-death struggle. If it were us, we would probably do this in a different way. In the final analysis, we are still too self-righteous."
"I think I have seen through Qin Ting's tricks, I think I have an insight into Qin Ting's calculations, so I feel complacent and complacent. With such a restless mind, this disaster is probably inevitable."
"You're not the only one with this mentality."
"Me too."
"And most people in the world."
"We have been immersed in Qin Ting's great and unreasonable actions for so long that we will subconsciously feel contemptuous and think that Qin Ting is nothing but mediocre. However, we have finally forgotten that Qin is the existence that swept through the six countries, how can it be Is it easy?"
"Although many important ministers have died of illness, a emaciated camel is bigger than a horse. After all, the Qin court still has capable people."
"We have nothing to lose, so why not lose to Qin Ting again?"
"As long as I can have the last laugh, what does it matter if I lose another hundred games?"
"hehe."
Zhang Liang's eyes were calm.
He Yao looked at Zhang Liang in surprise, but she was confused as to why Zhang Liang could be so calm.
Yunmeng is one of the two hiding places for the nobles of the Six Kingdoms. Now Yunmeng is almost wiped out. Although there are still a few people left, everyone is in danger, and the local officials may not dare to protect them too much. This will be detrimental to them. The blow was huge.
How can Zhang Liang be so stable?
He glanced at Zhang Liang suspiciously, and finally said with a wry smile: "If I had the courage of Brother Zifang, I probably wouldn't be so anxious. But now that the First Emperor's patrol is approaching Kuaiji, what is the purpose of our trip? "
"Persuade the nobles hiding near Wuyue to leave?"
Zhang Liang shook his head.
"Why is this?" He Yao was stunned. He clearly remembered that Zhang Liang had said before that Qin Ting might target Wu Yue. Now that they are traveling across mountains and rivers, isn't it just to remind other nobles?
See this.
Zhang Liang said solemnly: "Persuasion is meaningless now."
"We can react so quickly. The nobles of the six countries must also be aware of current affairs. When the trouble happened in Yunmeng, they may have evacuated early. But not everyone is so alert, and Wu Yue is the earth, and the six hidden among them There are many nobles in the country, and many of them have begun to show signs of climate change. How easy is it to get them to evacuate?"
"Besides."
"They may not be willing to evacuate."
"Most of the time, people take chances."
"In addition, Qin Ting was near Yunmengze and mainly targeted local officials. This will inevitably not make the nobles of the Six Kingdoms lucky. They think that Qin Ting came to Wuyue just to target officials. Although he still took some precautions, it was only That’s all.”
"What's more, if Qin Ting really goes to war in such a big way, there will undoubtedly be signs of pushing local officials towards us. How can the nobles of the six countries hiding here not be aware of this situation? Therefore, they will stay behind with more peace of mind."
"Besides."
"Many nobles from the Six Kingdoms have moved once before, and now they are asked to move out. It is inevitable that they will be dissatisfied and somewhat reluctant. Under such circumstances, they must be moved with emotion, reason, or bribery. Only with profit can we persuade people to move."
"And how can the two of us do this?"
Hear the words.
He Yao opened his mouth and sighed.
He said helplessly: "Qin Ting is really as cunning as a fox. All kinds of things are false and true, which makes us confused. It also messes up the nobility of the six countries. Otherwise, why would there be such a big discord? !”
Zhang Liang's eyes were calm.
He raised his head and looked into the sky, where a golden crow was slowly rising.
The water surface turns red.
He had no intention of persuading the nobles of the Six Nations to evacuate this time.
He knows it very well.
I can't persuade him.
Those who could be persuaded to move left early.
If you cannot persuade, no matter how much you persuade, it will be of no avail.
He came here to see Ying Zheng.
He was very curious about how Ying Zheng's body was doing now.
This is related to the future trend of the world.
Moreover, what Qin Ting did this time was obviously planned for a long time, and it was not something they could destroy at all. If they could unite the remaining forces of the six countries, they could still shake them. However, the nobles of the six countries were not harmonious among themselves, and they kept talking to each other. Everyone is secretly on guard. Under such circumstances, even if Zhang Liang boasts of his amazing abilities, it may be difficult to convince the six countries.
There are too many nobles in the Six Kingdoms.
also.
He always felt as if he had overlooked something.
He frowned in thought.
See this.
He Yao said nothing more.
He sat on the bow of the boat depressed, his brows furrowed into the character "Chuan".
He is also a person who has read many poems and books, so why can't he understand the hidden meaning of Zhang Liang's words?
Qin Ting was too methodical in doing things and did not give them a chance to change. He also showed an arrogant attitude from the beginning to the end, giving people the impression that he was targeting local officials. He even tried to disguise it in the beginning. Later, it was even installed without even installing it.
The First Emperor went down along the way and did not search for the remnants of the Six Kingdoms.
On the contrary, officials from the Yushi Mansion and Tingwei Mansion have been traveling around, searching for evidence of misconduct by officials in various places. Under such circumstances, how can people be too wary?
What's more, the nobles of the six countries are not all harmonious, and there are also many estrangements and suspicions between them.
under these conditions.
How can they succeed in persuading?
And if the persuasion was successful and most of the nobles from Wu and Yue were relocated, and if Qin Ting did not search for it, wouldn't it mean that what they did was meaningless and was just a waste of their own energy?
How could the nobles of the Chu region not complain?
But if the nobles hiding in Wu and Yue do not move, and if Qin Ting really makes a feint and conducts a large-scale search in the end, Wu and Yue will definitely suffer heavy losses if they underestimate the enemy. Isn't this a waste of its own strength?
However, as Zhang Liang said, no matter what they do, they can't have both.
This is the brilliance of Qin Ting's methods.
Virtual and real.
It makes people hard to guard against.
They not only have to keep an eye on Qin Ting's every move, but also always pay attention to the internal situation of the nobles of the six countries. Even if they have extraordinary abilities, they may not be able to cover everything. If they spend a lot of time, they will only isolate themselves from other nobles.
Rather than that.
Might as well do nothing.
Think of this.
He Yao couldn't help but sigh again.
This is a technique.
It's a calculation, and it's a conspiracy.
What counts is the deceitfulness of the human heart, what counts is the deceitfulness of thousands of people.
What Qin Ting calculated correctly was that the nobles of the six countries were not united.
It is clear.
Qin Ting's plan succeeded.
They knew early on what Qin Ting might do, but firstly, it was inconvenient to relocate the population, secondly, many nobles were lucky, and thirdly, they thought Qin Ting did not dare to be so rash, which ultimately led to the current predicament.
At a loss.
immediately.
He suddenly remembered something.
He Yao said: "Brother Zifang, what about the 'Emperor Qi in the Southeast' that we spread in Wu and Yue? Should we continue to spread it?"
Zhang Liang shook his head.
He said in a deep voice: "Don't continue."
"It was a mistake to spread this prophecy in Wuyue."
"We are afraid that counter-attacks will be implicated."
"Why is this?" He Yao looked solemn.
Zhang Liang smiled bitterly and said: "Because if Qin Ting was not prepared to carry out a large-scale search, but because of this prophecy, a large-scale search was carried out in the southeast, and the news was also spread, what would other nobles think of us? Will they think it is? Are we plotting against them?"
"How can you not have a grudge against us because of this?"
Hear the words.
He Yao looked anxious and said: "We didn't think of this at the beginning. We thought that the First Emperor's intention this time was to target us, and it was also an educational announcement. We never thought that the First Emperor was just playing tricks on us. If we had known this earlier, how could we have done such a reckless thing?"
Zhang Liang was stunned when He Yao mentioned the enlightenment declaration.
He thought about it.
He knew he was missing something.
Educational announcement!
Cultivate human affairs to defeat heaven.
This was the main intention of the First Emperor's tour.
But in the past few months, has the First Emperor really made any educational announcements?
No.
But actually there is.
It's just that their attention was focused on the Qin army's arrests, and they ignored what the First Emperor had been doing. They worshiped Emperor Shun in Yunmengwang and carved stones on Lushan Mountain to praise Dayu's flood control. Isn't this an educational statement?
Moreover, this time the First Emperor traveled in public, he also took the opportunity to spread this concept to all directions.
But they were all negligent.
Be prepared to say.
Their eyes were focused on other things, and they did not notice at all that the First Emperor had been promoting the propaganda and education of the old Chu, and compared to Emperor Shun, the First Emperor mentioned more sacrifices to Emperor Yu this time.
Who was Dayu?
Among the Five Emperors, he was the one with the most meritorious spirit.
He is also a person whose achievements surpass those of previous generations and laid the foundation of Chinese civilization.
In one word.
The Chinese ethnic group has entered the national era since Dayu.
In the past, Emperor Yu's status in the hearts of people in the world was not that high. In particular, various witchcraft, ghosts, and heresies were prevalent in various places, and they advocated the use of sacrifices and prayers to change the predicament. Therefore, Emperor Yu's recognition among the people was lower than that of the other four emperors. Not high.
But this time the First Emperor visited Mount Lu during his tour.
Where is Lushan?
It’s just a big mountain with no missionary significance.
However, there are rumors that the name of Mount Lu comes from "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", which was created by Dayu.
Originally a mountain with no missionary significance, Ying Zheng not only climbed to the top of the mountain in person, but also left inscriptions on it to praise Dayu's flood control. If the name of Mount Lu really comes from the "Book of Mountains and Seas", it also comes from Dayu. Hands, I'm afraid it means something else.
Ying Zheng was the first emperor in ancient times.
His influence on the world is extremely huge. For such a little-known mountain to be deliberately left with stone carvings, it will definitely attract a large number of people to come and watch. With the court deliberately adding fuel to the fire, Dayu's achievements will definitely be remembered by the world. .
Moisturizes things silently.
That's probably what happened.
The whole world knows about Dayu's flood control. This is consistent with the Qin court's idea of cultivating people to conquer nature. This concept was quietly instilled into the minds of the world, and it did not cause too much resentment. .
The means are really superb.
Especially before long, Ying Zheng will go to Kuaiji Mountain.
According to legend, Dayu died in Kuaiji Mountain and was buried there.
There is a tomb of Yu on the mountain. Birds come to work on it, plucking the grass roots in spring and pecking at the dirt in autumn.
There is a well in Shandong. It is seven miles away from the temple and is so deep that no one can see the bottom. It is called Yujing.
Qin Ting's methods changed.
As in the past, he no longer only knew how to push forward arbitrarily, ignoring the opposition from the bottom and pressing hard. Now he has become more cautious and gentler. However, this change is very dangerous for Zhang Liang. .
He didn't want to see Qin Ting like this.
He even hoped to see the arrogant and cruel Da Qin in the past.
Zhang Liang's eyes flickered.
The sun rising in the distance was already a bit dazzling at the moment.
A sense of urgency arose in his heart.
He desperately wanted to see the First Emperor, even if it was just to look at him from a distance, he had to figure out why Qin Ting suddenly had such a big change, which was a little shocking, a little scary, and even more frightening.
Zhang Liang regained his concentration and moved his gaze to the right.
That is the location of Kuaiji Mountain.
It was also the place where the First Emperor would later worship Dayu.
The boat slowly sailed towards the shore under the waves of the oars.
Not long after the boat docked, dozens of black shadows suddenly appeared on the water.
And a flag was flying on the bow of the ship.
Qin! ! !
