Things in the world are called benevolence when seen by benevolent people, and wisdom when seen by wise people.
Different people will have different views on the same thing. From this reasoning, the same item has very different meanings in the hands of different people.
In the early Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Wei State used its strong national and military power to seize the entire Hexi Plateau and eastern Qinchuan from its neighbor Qin State in the west, compressing the Qin State to only the central and western parts of Guanzhong, Longxi, Shangyu and other places.
The Hexi Plateau has lush vegetation and rich resources. It is a valuable resource wealth for any country. However, at that time, the Wei people abandoned the Hexi Plateau like a waste. They only regarded it as an important strategic buffer area and sent troops to garrison it but did not When doing development, I put all my thoughts on the struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains.
After Qin Xiaogong Ying Quliang came to the throne, he was determined to strengthen reforms and ordered the recruitment of talents. Shang Yang entered Qin from Wei and proposed a set of reform and innovation strategies such as abandoning well fields, focusing on agriculture and mulberry, awarding military merits, implementing unified measurement and establishing a county system, which won the trust of Qin Xiaogong. Qin Xiaogong appointed Shang Yang as the chief of Zuo Shu. In 356 BC and 350 BC, he implemented the two policies of "abolition of well fields, opening of roads, implementing the county system, rewarding farming, weaving and military achievements, and implementing the method of sitting together" as the main content With his reforms, he finally led the Qin army to regain the land in Hexi and restored Qin's hegemony.
After obtaining the ancestral land in Hexi, Qin obtained it like a treasure. Subsequent generations of Qin kings fully developed it, providing huge resource support for the Qin army to conquer the six countries.
Looking at the past and looking at the present, the tiny country of Goguryeo was nothing more than a dispensable territory to the Han Empire.
But for Qin, Goguryeo was an important springboard for conquering the Han Dynasty.
With this piece of land, the Qin army's fleet could bypass the Great Wall built by the Han army in the north and the natural barrier Sige River, and directly station the army in the Goguryeo Kingdom. If he went to war, it would be a great blow to Bozhou in the northeast of the Han Empire. , the Qin army of Goguryeo can attack the two Liao lands from the west, block the Han army from going north to aid Bozhou, and then turn Bozhou into an enclave.
For Quzhou and Liuzhou of the Han Empire, the Qin army could turn southward in Goguryeo, seize the beach and land at any of Quzhou and Bozhou, and then achieve the goal of blooming at multiple points in the center of the Han Empire.
It can be seen that the Qin army sent troops to Goguryeo not only to help Goguryeo defend its country on the surface or to provide moral aid.
Fu Yi, the leader of Qin State, knew this, Fu Wen knew this, and Gao Zhao also knew this.
Liu Yan, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, who was thousands of miles away, probably knew well that the Qin army would definitely send troops. Otherwise, he would not have used an army of 150,000 to attack a mere Goguryeo country.
You know, in the past twenty years, Mo Jingchun, relying on the strength of his army, set foot on the royal city of Goguryeo twice.
If Liu Yan had not made the decision to send troops to Qin, how could he kill a chicken with a bull's knife?
However, Gao Zhao was a bit unkind when he said that he only had 5,000 soldiers to fight.
According to the knowledge of the State of Qin, Gao Zhao has expanded his army in recent years and has at least 150,000 elite soldiers. Even if Xun Yue deducts the tens of thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled who were ordered by Fu Wen to attack the Han camp at night, there should still be 100,000. An all-powerful weapon.
Five thousand? No fool would believe it!
Listening to what Gao Zhao said, he just wanted the Qin State to take over the task of resisting the Han army. After repelling the Han army, Gao Zhao sat back and enjoyed the results.
Before the rightful master Fu Wen could speak, Huyan Wuyou's eyes flashed with tears. He immediately stood up, lowered his voice as hard as he could, and shouted angrily, "Gao Zhao, our Qin soldiers have traveled thousands of miles to come to our aid, and you don't send a single soldier." Do you want to kill the wolf with nothing? Do you dare to say what you just said again?"
Gao Zhao drooped his head and said nothing.
Zhao Annan hurriedly pulled Huyan Wuyou's saber from the side. Huyan Wuyou finally came back to his senses: He was the king of a country, and he should at least respect Gao Zhao. Moreover, his master Fu Wen hadn't spoken yet. , you Huyan Wuyou stood up and pointed fingers, which was more or less usurping power.
After Huyan Wuyou reacted, he immediately tilted his head and cupped his hands, apologizing to Gao Zhao. Regardless of Gao Zhao's answer, he reluctantly sat down, tilted his head and stopped talking.
At this time, Ling Xiao, who had been quietly observing the affairs since he entered the table, opened his mouth, but when he saw Ling Xiao's tiger body move, he stood up and held his hands, "Generalissimo, two generals, my king is polite and humble in character, and I don't want to be in front of the Kingdom of Heaven. Self-proclaimed. Our country of Goguryeo is surrounded by the sea on three sides, with mountains and swamps, and is a poor land. After living in hard times, our people have naturally developed a strong and martial custom. Regardless of women, old or young, all of them are fearless of death and can dismount from their horses. If your highness says that you can fight, you can mount a horse. If your highness says that you can fight, we in Goguryeo will have five thousand armored soldiers, no less than the soldiers of Wei Wu in those days. If your highness says that you can fight, all the people in Goguryeo will be able to mount their horses and fight, and there will be a million people!"
Zhao Annan grinned and whispered in Fu Wen's ear, "I've seen braggarts before, but I've never seen anyone who can brag like Ling Xiao! I consciously like to brag, and when I meet Gao Zhao today, I feel like I'm at a disadvantage."
Fu Wen laughed dryly and thought to himself: This is a serious boast, but Ling Xiao can still say such an act to strengthen the country's power when he is weak, which is admirable.
Fu Wen, Zhao Annan, and Hu Yan Wuyou, one of them was thinking about major policies, and the other two were too lazy to listen to Ling Xiao's nonsense. The fish house suddenly became quiet.
Ling Xiao ignored the Qin people's indifference. He paused for a moment and then said, "This time the Han Dynasty raised an army to ask for a crime. What division did he raise? What crime did he ask for? All of the people here are talented and wise. Could it be that Do you still need me to explain everything to you here?"
Fu Wen thought to himself: What a way to divert trouble to the east!
Needless to say, the one who was Xing was naturally the master of rebellion, and the one who was asking was naturally the crime of betraying the covenant.
And this matter, in the final analysis, is inseparable from Da Qin.
Qin's foreign policy was mainly to unite with the Pyu Yue Kingdom in the south of the Han Empire, to win over the countries in the Western Region and North Road to the west, and to win over Goguryeo to the east. The Goguryeo Kingdom had been attacked twice by Mo Jingchun. It had long been frightened and hated the Han people. The leader of the Qin Dynasty, Lang Fuyi, seized the opportunity and won the surrender of King Gao Zhao with the promise of huge profits. The two countries secretly Sign a covenant and form a good alliance forever to fight against the Han Dynasty.
It was precisely because of this treaty that Liu Yan, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, determined to destroy Goguryeo.
"Okay! Stop bickering. Just now, His Highness has no intention of complaining about the king. He just wants to understand the current strength of both sides so that he can prescribe the right medicine. My brothers are used to killing people, setting fires, and talking quickly. If you have offended someone, The Lord of the Kingdom has a holy nature and is tolerant, so don’t mind it!”
Fu Wen was too lazy to fuss over such trivial matters, so he smiled and explained calmly, which was a step forward for Gao Zhao.
Gao Zhaocheng was frightened and hurriedly handed over his hand, "The monarch of the country of ten thousand chariots is the emperor, and the general of the country of ten thousand chariots is the general of heaven. When the general of heaven is angry, how dare a small country feel resentment."
Gao Zhao is a flexible and flexible king. Tonight, he faced Fu Wen and his party with an extremely humble attitude, which fully shows the true nature of his husband.
Fu Wen smiled and fell into deep thought: Goguryeo only had five thousand soldiers and horses, which were of little use. It seemed that his idea of sending Goguryeo to join forces with him had come to nothing. He commanded 100,000 tigers and wolves, but according to intelligence, the Han army dispatched 150,000 horses, a full 50,000 more heads, which greatly reduced his chances of winning. After calculating the troops, we then calculated the generals. Although Tuoba Shi, Ao Fei, Deng Yi, Murong Ke, and Hu Yanwuyou were all talented men, they were all of the younger generation and had little or no actual combat experience. On the other hand, in Liu Huai's army, Mo Jingchun and Mou Yu were famous battlefield generals. Chen Buye and Li Changhong were both masters of swordsmanship and army leaders. Sun Yun, Liu Bi, Huan Wen, Wang Biaozhi, and Cheng Guo were all Han Empire soldiers. The leader of the young generation, the "old, middle and young" ranks are well matched, which shows the sophistication of the Han emperor Liu Yan and his determination to conquer Goguryeo.
In front of the flowers and under the moon, Fu Wen's gray eyes looked at the moon, filled with countless helplessness.
It seems that this battle is still a bit difficult to fight!
Fu Wen also learned more about the national conditions of Goguryeo, asked for a map of Goguryeo, and said goodbye to Gao Zhao.
This simple meeting was neither a happy ending nor a happy ending.
Fu Wen sailed for days without stopping. After arriving at Chongjin Ferry, he met Gao Zhao without stopping. When he got back on the ship, he was so exhausted that he couldn't even open his eyes.
A tired person should have fallen asleep, but Fu Wen's gray eyes were staring straight at the simple and dignified jade cong placed on the table, which was square on the outside and round on the inside. It was used to worship the heaven and earth that day. Fu Wen was moved by the scene and tossed and turned on the couch. The powerful enemy made his heart feel like a thousand mountains weighing down on him. He was depressed and anxious. A kind of anger mixed with worry lingered in his heart unconsciously.
From Yu Guo's perspective, their generation and the previous generation of Great Qin people lived almost every day in the nightmare of Great Qin's defeat fifty years ago. That battlefield left almost all adult men in Great Qin dead and injured.
The national humiliation is unforgettable!
What the official schools and private schools of the Qin Dynasty taught in the first class were not about benevolence, morality and traditional Chinese academic traditions, but about "repaying the country's humiliation with blood and riding horses on the Yellow River." When the princes of the royal family made mistakes, in addition to being punished according to the law, they had to walk on foot. Go to the Broken Oath Mountain a hundred miles away from Tianlang City, cut your finger, find a piece of gravel, and write "Never dare to forget the national humiliation in this life." Now fifty years have passed by, and the stone of the Broken Oath Mountain has turned from gray red.
The most powerful national defense and the most ambitious revenge are forever written in children's textbooks.
The people of Daqin have forgotten who fought whom first in the battle. They only remember that their holy land for ancestor worship was taken away and their relatives died uncontrollably. Time has not eliminated the hatred, but has made this hatred last forever.
There is Da Qin in the north, which is like Japan.
How could I encounter a strong man and seize my rivers and mountains?
Hundreds of years of national hatred, the sea is difficult to calm down.
There will be no truce until the blood is shed.
...
Now, the Qin Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, which had deep feuds, started fighting again after fifty years of resting their armies.
Fu Wen, as the swordsman, was expected to take on such an important responsibility. Anyone else would be kept awake at night!
"Senior Zhu Long, if I lose, the enemy will still be strong and the country's hatred will not end, what should I do?"
Fu Wen's face was full of sorrow and he spoke softly.
"I didn't sleep in the middle of the night. I thought you could hold in a few good farts! Who would have thought you were moaning for no reason. Bah!" came an old voice from the darkness.
Fu Wen said with a mournful face, "How can this be unnecessary moaning? This is obviously to prepare for a rainy day."
The old voice from the darkness came out again, "What should we do? What else can we do? Live well! You can't have to die to apologize for one failure! Who hasn't experienced failure?"
"Right!"
Fu Wen yawned, turned over and closed his eyes, preparing to sleep.
"Boy, don't sleep yet, someone is coming!" After Zhu Long Fengyu said this in the dark, he warned carefully, "Be careful, this boy is very evil, you should stay away from him. .”
Fu Wen frowned, "It's such a lazy ass that poops and urinates a lot. It won't let anyone stop for most of the night!"
