But Your Majesty, the King of Qin dared to do this, because the current situation of Qin at that time was already bitter and cold, and it was already turbulent, so it could withstand great changes. "
"And Liu Yuzhi, Shangguan Ruo and the others were all King Qin's right-hand men. They followed King Qin's policies with determination and played a big role."
Wang Su said, and then added: "But our country cannot withstand such a torment."
King Xuan glanced at him.
Wang Su explained: "In all the countries in the world, except Qin, all the powerful are annexing fertile land. The people do not have their own private acres, the harvest is not high, and they have to pay heavy taxes. But to solve this problem, we must be like the King of Qin, The first step is to suppress powerful people.”
King Xuan said: "No matter how powerful the dignitaries are, the people are the most numerous and powerful. The people are the foundation of the country. King Qin is right."
As an adviser, Wang Su did not compliment him, but said truthfully: "But the king can't do this."
"Because our country's political system has been stable for hundreds of years and has formed an unshakable state. The officialdom is supported by powerful clans. If the king wants to suppress the powerful, the first person to offend will be the ministers of the court."
King Xuan frowned slightly.
Wang Su continued: "Once this happens, the result will be great chaos across the country, social unrest, and the Xuan Kingdom may be destroyed."
"Then how did King Qin do it?" King Xuan asked.
Wang Su said: "The political system of Qin was incomplete at that time, and the King of Qin had great military and political power. He suppressed it with absolute force and did not allow any resistance. I heard that before he became king, there were several massacres, but there were powerful people who dared to disrespect him. A massacre!"
King Xuan's eyes were dark: "At that time, it was actually the best time for the countries to destroy Qin."
"The king is right, but unfortunately, the princes at that time thought that Qin was a poor and weak place, not worth mentioning. Who would have thought that the Qin people dared to fight so much that within a few years, they had made other countries fear Qin." Wang Su said.
"This has the most direct relationship with the king of Qin." King Xuan asked again: "What is the sentiment of their people?"
Wang Su smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty knows very well, why do you need to ask this question? Before the Qin people, they had no food to eat and no clothing to protect them from the cold. Now, every household has its own acres and the people are diligent in farming. All this is because of the Qin Lord His policies and his prestige in Qin are conceivable."
"Well, not to mention military morale, we have already seen it." King Xuan sighed lightly.
Wang Su said: "So, there are some aspects of Qin's policies that are not applicable to our country."
"Yes." King Xuan nodded in agreement: "The King of Qin chose the people, taking the people as the foundation. I heard that many of the policies that benefit the people came from the Prime Minister of Qin. What does Mr. Wang think of Liu Yuzhi?"
"A genius in internal affairs, a famous prime minister." Wang Su did not hesitate.
"The famous prime minister." King Xuan sighed, "How can he have the famous prime minister to help him, haha"
the next day.
The team continued to set off, heading all the way to Qinguan.
After arriving here, we are already at the northwest border of China, and we can feel some desolate scenes.
When approaching Qin Pass, Xiao Yuan and King Xuan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Because in front of them, black armor and red tassels were overwhelming. The soldiers of the Qin army formed a strict square formation, with straight waists and numerous halberds. They were standing there motionless.
General Qin Guan quickly stepped forward, led a group of generals, knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said loudly:
"Last General Yang Heng! See you, Your Majesty!"
His tone was very exciting because he hadn't seen Xiao Yuan for a long time.
The soldiers of the Qin army behind them all knelt down on one knee and said in unison:
"Welcome the King"
Yang Heng was also one of the earliest generals under Xiao Yuan's command. Needless to say, his military exploits and loyalty, and Xiao Yuan's employment of people was very good. He was the best candidate to guard this place.
Seeing his old subordinates, Xiao Yuan was also a little excited. He quickly dismounted, walked quickly to Yang Heng, stretched out his hand to help him up: "General, get up quickly, all soldiers are exempt from courtesy!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty" people shouted again.
"Your Majesty" Yang Heng's face turned red because of his excitement. The corners of his mouth trembled. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.
Xiao Yuan looked at him and said seriously: "General, guard the northwest and protect our country's gates. You have worked hard all year round! I'm so sorry for you."
"Your Majesty, you are so cruel to your humble ministers." Yang Heng said and knelt down again.
Xiao Yuan quickly pulled him back, "Okay, okay, look at the soldiers, look at the soldiers."
Accompanied by Yang Heng, he began to walk past the soldiers step by step.
Every time he walked in front of someone, the soldier would definitely tremble and his face would be full of excitement.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
"King"
One voice after another sounded one after another.
Looking at the young faces and the strong military appearance, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"Soldiers! You are all heroes of the nation!"
"Without you! How could I protect my northwest gate of China!"
"There is no self, my great king! There is no self in the Qin Kingdom! My king will last for ten thousand years."
Tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, and even King Xuan was infected by the atmosphere.
This is more like an impromptu military parade.
After welcoming Xiao Yuan, everyone arrived at Guanxia.
Qinguan was built by Xiao Yuan immediately after he retreated from Xirong, spending a lot of gold and silver.
This pass is as majestic as Tongguan and other places.
Not only are the city defenses several feet high, thick, large, and extremely solid, but they also guard the chokepoints and are connected to the left and right by steep mountains that cannot be climbed.
To put it simply, if Xirong wants to enter China, there is no other way to go but to attack here!
You can see the importance of location.
At this time, King Xuan began to say: "Brother Wang, can you take a look at the city defense."
"Let's go." Xiao Yuan said nothing and gestured to Yang Heng.
"This way, Your Majesty." The latter reached out sideways.
Under his guidance, everyone went from the inner gate to the city defense. As far as they could see, there were soldiers guarding every step of the city wall.
Yang Heng explained as he walked: "Your Majesty, most of our army's city defense equipment is stored nearby to facilitate temporary changes. The left and right city defense can be retrieved quickly, and they will be replaced every once in a while to ensure the strength of the bow. crossbow."
"Yes." Xiao Yuan nodded: "General, you have done a good job. No matter whether Xirong invades or not, you must always make preparations for war in important border areas."
"Yes!" Yang Heng responded immediately.
At this time, everyone had reached the middle of the city defense. Standing on a high place with a wide field of vision, looking at the surrounding environment, King Xuan couldn't help but sigh: "What a majestic and dangerous pass."
Yang Heng pointed to the outside of the pass and said: "Your Majesty, please see, outside the pass, our army also has some military buildings and beacon towers, which can detect the enemy's situation early and then give a warning. Qin Pass can also be the first to Time to prepare for war.”
