Concubine Yan was so funny that she didn't even think about Ziyou's skills for a while. She helped Ziyou pat the footprints and dust on her body. Ziyou also noticed the white-haired Loli Xiaomeng and asked
"Are you Uncle Master's disciple Xiaomeng?"
"Yes." Xiaomeng pulled out the wooden sword on the ground and looked at Ziyou.
"You are here to compete with me, right? I can do it now." Ziyou looked at Xiaomeng and said, old guy, I can't beat you, why can't I take it out on your beloved apprentice?
Xiaomeng looked at Ziyou, put away the sword again and said
"I'm no match for you. I'll come find you in three years, and we'll have another try at that time."
After saying that, Xiao Meng walked into the cave alone, leaving Ziyou and the others behind a closed stone door. Concubine Yan looked at Ziyou's aggrieved look, and finally laughed.
"If you are really angry, go to Master Bei Mingzi. If it doesn't work, go to Chi Songzi. There is no need to teach disciples who have not grown up yet." Concubine Yan kept lying on Ziyou. .
"What do you know? I ask my senior brother to guide my junior sister simply for the sake of the friendship between the Confucian and Taoist families." Ziyou said righteously.
Concubine Yan also got up from Ziyou, looked at Ziyou and asked
"Did you ask the question you wanted to ask?"
"We've asked, let's talk about it after we go back. We've finished asking about things here in Taoism. We're going to return to Xianyang. The affairs in Zhao are over. Now we can wholeheartedly prepare to destroy Han." Ziyou said.
"Okay, let's go back." Concubine Yan said.
Bei Mingzi looked at Xiao Meng who walked in with a wooden sword and asked with a smile.
"How about it?"
"I can't beat you without taking action." Xiaomeng didn't feel embarrassed but said directly. If he knew that the gap was huge and there was no need to fight, and he still went to fight, in Xiaomeng's view, this was just a waste of time. It would be better to fight Use this time to practice.
"I thought you would play against him to feel the difference." Bei Mingzi looked at Xiao Meng and said. Xiao Meng is born with a clear Taoist heart. Sometimes Bei Mingzi feels that Xiao Meng does not look like a ten-year-old. A year-old girl, but an old man about the same age as him.
"It's not necessary. What did you tell him? Is there any way to solve his problem?" Xiao Meng asked curiously.
"Yes, but the chance is not great. After the world was closed, the road was cut off. Unless there is a great opportunity or like these sages, they rely on their own strength to break through, or find some remaining small roads, but these small roads It is destined to be full of crises, and I don’t know how many people were killed on those small roads." Bei Mingzi said.
"So you chose to rely on your own strength to break through? Instead of taking a small path?" Xiao Meng asked.
"Yes, some people spend their entire lives unable to find the entrance to a path. Even if they find it, it may not be the one they want to take. There are thousands of ways, and the origin is unified. You can start the real way out on your own and see the gap. What are you going to do now?" Bei Mingzi looked at Xiao Meng and asked.
"Zhuang Zhou Mengdie." Xiao Meng said.
Bei Mingzi looked at Xiaomeng and said nothing, but finally sighed and said, "This is your path, you choose it yourself."
Ziyou had already left Taiyi Mountain, and Mo Ya was galloping on the road to Xianyang with his carriage. After several days of running around, Ziyou returned to Xianyang. At this time, the army that had set out for the expedition also returned to Xianyang, and all the rewards had been Completed, Qin State entered the cultivation stage again. At the same time, Ying Zheng, Li Si, and Lu Buwei were discussing the management of the nine cities they had just won.
The State of Zhao has handed over the land and household registration to the State of Qin, which means that these nine cities completely belong to the State of Qin. If they only occupy the land, the local people will continue to revolt even if the Zhao army does not need to fight, but as long as the household registration and household registration are After the land delivery was completed, the people knew that Zhao had abandoned them, and they could only admit that they had become people of Qin.
"Who should be appointed to govern these cities?" Ying Zheng asked.
"According to the usual practice, a large army should be sent to guard to prevent civil unrest. Secondly, local officials should be selected to stabilize the people, and officials within the court should be sent to supervise." Li Si said, this is the governance policy that Qin will carry out every time it conquers new land. , There are pros and cons to such a policy. First, the cost is too high and the governance is not satisfactory. Second, it takes time.
"At that time, I think we can use the method proposed by the teacher at the beginning. Send a stable official to take some young people to the place, and ask people from the clan to come forward." Ying Zheng said.
It has been more than a year since the members of the clan resigned from him. Some of them have returned from traveling, and their entire appearance has changed. The one who has changed the most is the child of Lord Weiyang, the one who was thrown into Zheng Guo Canal. After the Zheng Guo Canal was completed, the boy was thrown to the Beijun garrison by the Weiyang Lord. When the Zhao State was attacked, he was also sent there. Because of his military merits, the Weiyang Lord took him back.
"It is feasible. Let the nine cities of Zhao State be piloted first. If it is feasible, it can be promoted when the six countries are conquered in the future." Lu Buwei Fu Xu said.
The Qin State now has a reserve of officials sufficient to destroy Han, but these people are still too young and lack enough experience to deal with things that may happen at any time. The current nine cities can simulate enough situations that may occur in the future. By using old people to lead new people, it won't be possible for the new people to cause trouble because of their lack of experience.
"Then this matter will be left to Zhongfu and Tonggu. Has the teacher ever returned from Taiyi Mountain?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Your Majesty, sir, you are on your way. There is about one day's journey left," Zhao Gao said.
"Yeah." Ying Zheng nodded.
Also arriving in Xianyang with Ziyou was the news that King Xiong Wan of Chu died suddenly. Prince Xiong Han, with the support of Lord Chun Shen, became the new King of Chu, and the funeral ended with Xiong Wan. Later he officially ascended the throne.
After Ying Zheng heard the news, he summoned his inner circle. This was a good opportunity. Ying Zheng had also heard about the fact that Xiong Han was not the child of King Chu Xiong Wan. This was a good opportunity.
In the strategic meeting hall of the Qin Palace.
Ying Zheng stood in front of the sand table on the map of the Seven Kingdoms, looking at his inner circle. Even Lord Changping, who had recently claimed to be ill at home, came. Everyone gathered around the sand table and looked at the position of Chu State, thinking about how to start from there. Chu State tore off a piece of fat from his body.
"Now that the King of Chu has died suddenly and the new king has not yet ascended the throne, I think this is an opportunity." Ying Zheng said.
Li Si thought for a while and said
"I'm afraid we are not the only ones who are keeping an eye on the Chu State. I heard that the troops on the border of the Wei State have been mobilized recently, and the same is true for the South Korean army. They are all mobilizing in the south, probably for the sake of the Chu State."
"Now the old king of the Chu State has just died and the new king is young. If there is no suitable reason to attack the Chu State, it is inevitable that we are bullying others." Changping Jun said, "Wei Guo and South Korea may have known something to take such action. We can Wait a minute, if the Wei and Han coalition forces attack the Chu State, if their reasons are suitable, we can cooperate with the Chu State to attack the Chu State. On the contrary, if they rashly use weapons, we can unite with the Chu State in the name of fighting against the unjust and quelling the war. Attack the two countries and then start the war to destroy Korea."
Everyone looked at Mr. Changping. There was nothing wrong with Mr. Changping’s words. From the standpoint of the Qin State, this was indeed the best choice. However, coming from the mouth of Mr. Changping, a former prince of the Chu State, there was such a thing. Weird, Ying Zheng looked at Lord Changping with a somewhat complicated look in his eyes, and said
"What Lord Changping said is true. Now that the Qin State has just experienced the attack on the Warring States Period, I'm afraid it won't be easy for them to use weapons again. It's better to wait first."
"If we want to attack the Chu State, Nanjun is the top priority, but the civil uprising problem of the people in Nanjun has not been completely solved. If this problem is not solved, it will be impossible to attack the Chu State." Lu Buwei said, Nanjun was the one who originally attacked the Chu State. The old capital Yingdu was established, which included the large area of Chu land that was originally captured. Just like Shangdang County was the bridgehead for Qin to attack the Central Plains, and Nan County was the front line for Qin to attack Chu.
However, due to the hatred between Qin and Chu and the problem of governing Nanjun at the beginning, Nanjun has always had the problem of civil uprisings. However, over time, the deterrence of the Qin army, and the replacement of prefects, the uprisings gradually became less common. If Qin and Chu went to war, The State of Chu sent people to encourage people, and there was a possibility of rebellion in Nanjun.
"The issue of Nanjun has always been one of the worries of our Qin State, but the people of old Chu have not changed their minds. This matter needs careful planning." Ying Zheng said.
"The governance of Nanjun has always been a difficult problem. The folk customs of the Chu State are different from those of other countries. Most of the officials sent out are local officials of the Qin State. They do not understand the local folk customs, let alone how to govern the local people. It is better to find someone who is in Chu. Officials with good reputations can govern the people, which can stabilize the local people, but changing people's hearts can be done slowly," Li Si said.
Speaking of the person who had enough prestige in Chu, the ability to govern the country, and enough loyalty to Qin, there was only one person. Everyone looked at Lord Changping, and Lord Changping also looked at the others. Lu Buwei Fu Xu said
"When Lord Changping was in Chu State, he always had a reputation as a virtuous man. Now he is the king of our Qin State and the uncle of the prince. Regardless of his status, status and prestige, he is enough to stabilize the people of Nanjun."
Ying Zheng looked at Ziyou, and Ziyou saluted and said
"Of course Changping Lord is the best choice. Whether it is the people's support, his understanding of the Chu land, or his status, Changping Lord will go to Nanjun to stabilize the people, and he will be responsible for the army's logistics. He will be fine."
The two core members of the Qin court, Ziyou and Lu Buwei, both recommended Changping Lord. Although Li Si, who originally wanted to recommend himself, was a little reluctant, he had nothing to say. Changping Lord was indeed more qualified than him to govern Nanjun.
"My lord, I will definitely live up to your Majesty's trust." Lord Changping said with a salute.
"Okay, I will issue an edict later, asking you to set off for Nanjun. You will temporarily serve as the governor of Nanjun and be responsible for all affairs of Nanjun. A famous military and political person has the first decision-making power. By the way, you can procure grain and grass, hoard troops, and wait for the army to march to Nanjun at any time." Ying Zheng said.
"No!" Changping Jun said with a salute.
After deciding who will govern Nanjun, the remaining question is who will be the general to attack Chu State. Ying Zheng took the lead in saying
"How about letting Feng Wuze and Li Xin lead the troops?"
Feng Wuze is a member of the Feng family. He is a brother to Feng Quji and Feng Jie. He is a general of the Ying family and has the same status as the Meng family. Meng Wu is stationed at the Lishan camp, Wang Jian is in charge of the Lantian camp, and Feng Wuze is in charge of the Lantian camp. Wu Ze and Feng Jie are responsible for the security of Xianyang and the Qin Palace. It can be said that these two people are Ying Zheng's security captains. At this time, Ying Zheng asked Feng Wuze to go out to fight, obviously to continue to support the Feng family, because the Feng family particularity, so no one objected.
Moreover, Wang Jian had already gained enough military exploits to attack Zhao. He could attack Chu and let the Feng family have no problem. As for Meng Wu, the old general Meng Ao passed away and Meng Wu was still in mourning. Even Meng Tian, who had become a captain, could only Watching others go off to war, you should be mourning yourself, otherwise it would not be Li Xin's turn, but Meng Tian and Feng Wuze would be paired up.
"Okay, then let Feng Wuze and Li Xin select 50,000 troops and horses at Lantian Camp to prepare to attack the Chu State." Ying Zheng said. Compared with the 200,000 troops and horses to attack the Zhao State, 50,000 can only be said to be It is a small number, and this is also because the attack on Chu this time is just for testing, and their main target is South Korea.
With the end of the discussion, this small meeting also ended. After returning to his house, Lord Changping came to the secret room.
"The king asked me to govern Nanjun to prepare for the future attack on Chu." Lord Changping said, sitting opposite Yan Dan.
"This is an opportunity. You are quite prestigious in Chu, and the people of Nanjun still miss their homeland. If you go to Nanjun to govern the local people and gain people's support, wait until Qin State attacks Chu State, contact General Xiang Yan, and lead Nanjun If the three places return to the Chu Kingdom and attack the Qin army from a flank, then I am afraid that your contribution to the Chu Kingdom will be unparalleled, and the King of Chu's throne will be within your reach." Yan Dan said in surprise.
Yan Dan didn't expect that Lord Changping would have an honest reason to return to Chu land so soon, and he didn't have to worry about being watched in Xianyang. The sky is high and the sky is high. As long as Lord Changping manages the business well, I'm afraid it won't take half a year for the local people to be completely loyal to Lord Changping. .
"This is indeed an opportunity, but it requires careful planning." Changping Jun was not as excited as Yan Dan. Although this matter was good for him, it was also dangerous. If he made a mistake, Ying Zheng would notice him. I'm afraid he will die without a burial place.
"When will your Majesty leave?" Yan Dan asked.
"I will leave tomorrow when the King of Qin's decree arrives. At that time, Brother Yan Dan can take the opportunity to disguise himself as my bodyguard and follow me out of Xianyang." Lord Changping said.
"Then thank you very much. This way our plan is not far off." Yan Dan said.
"Yes, but we still need to be careful. Although General Xiang Yan promised to support me, Chun Shen Jun is still here, and the attitude of the three Qu Jingzhao clan is unclear. We still need to wait and see about the affairs of Chu State." Chang Ping Jun said, although Xiang Yan is from Chu State. The general holds the military power of the Chu State, but that is only less than half. The real military power of the Chu State is in the hands of the three tribes of Qu Jingzhao. More importantly, the three tribes control the Chu State's people's livelihood and finance, food, military pay, etc. They all need their nods, and the support of the Qu Jingzhao clan is more important than Xiang Yan.
