Eight hundred and twentieth chapters kingly domineering
After drinking the tea presented by the maid, sure enough, the tea from the general's house was much better than what he drank. It went into his throat softly and softly, and his lips and teeth were fragrant. He nodded slightly, then stood upright, bowed his hands, and looked up at the person above him.
General Xiao Wei Mou.
This is also the purpose of coming here today. Generally speaking, there are no outsiders here. His words are falling, and his eyes are shining with mysterious light.
"Oh, what am I worried about?"
Xiao Wei Mou heard the sound, smiled quietly on his face, looked at Zhang Er meaningfully, and casually glanced at Long Yangjun on one side, and said loudly, with a hint of curiosity and suspicion on his expression.
"General!"
"Zhang Er is also from Wei!"
"For example, my good friend Liu Ji, ten years ago, admired the reputation of Lord Xinling's son and came to Daliang City from the Chu Kingdom. However, at that time the son was deposed by the king, and Liu Ji had to wander around."
"I never thought that I would be so happy to meet him, and we have been chatting with him so far. The young master has three thousand followers, and Zhang Er is incompetent. In the past, he was incapable of repaying the young master. However, the young master plans for the country, and Zhang Er does not dare to bend behind others."
The prince mentioned by Zhang Er, in the entire Wei Kingdom for decades, there was only one person who could be called that. That was Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling who was famous in all Xia countries.
Military force suppressed Hangu Pass.
Even General Meng Ao of the Qin State was defeated many times by Lord Xinling. Zhang Er spoke earnestly and looked respectful. At that time, the young master was good at raising his followers and gave them a very good platform for ordinary people like them.
They originally thought that after the young master became famous in the Xia Dynasty, they would follow him to show off what they had learned, but this was not the case.
Now, Qin's troops have come out of Hangu Pass again, and South Korea has been destroyed. Now they are attacking Zhao. From what Zhang Er has seen over the years, it is difficult for Zhao to withstand Qin's pressure. Therefore, this is also the purpose of coming here today.
With the deep words in his mouth, Zhang Er pointed to Liu Ji with one hand. This person came here because he admired the reputation of the young master and had a good impression of him in his heart.
"Xiao Wei Mou was supported by the young master in the past, and he has not dared to forget it until he has reached the point where he is today."
"Zhang Er, if you have anything to say, just say it!"
Xiao Wei Mou also sighed with emotion. More than ten years have passed. Today, in the Wei Kingdom, the name of the Young Master is gradually lost, and fewer and fewer people can remember the Young Master.
Listening to Zhang Er's voice, no matter why you came here today, Xiao Wei Mou feels that Zhang Er has this intention, Wuji can be relieved, and it is not in vain to support thousands of guests in the first place. Those people have not forgotten him, and they have not forgotten Wei Guo
.
"The general's recent concern is that Qin should attack Zhao!"
"I wonder if that's okay?"
Zhang Er bowed again and spoke deeply.
"Tell me in detail!"
Xiao Wei Mou couldn't say no, he didn't make any further comments and just said it briefly.
"Last winter, the king ordered the general to increase the number of Wei soldiers. Now the original 50,000 elite soldiers of Wei have been expanded to 150,000. With the addition of Wei's other military forces, Zhang Er thinks that they are not enough to deal with Qin.
The army outside the pass!"
"In addition, the Qin State's Nanyang Guard Ye Teng has more than 100,000 soldiers stationed on the border of Southern Chu to intimidate our great Wei State. Sure enough, Wei State, Yan State and others just sit back and watch Zhao State being destroyed. Wang Jian's army is very likely to come from the north.
Next, together with the power of Mengwu, attack our country Wei!"
"What do the generals think of what Zhang Er said?"
The land of Waihuang is more than two hundred miles away from Daliang City. It can be regarded as a transit place for merchants around Daliang City. With hundreds of merchants gathering in the Kingdom of Wei, it is very easy for Zhang Er to get the news.
Coupled with the friendship between Liu Ji, Lu Wan and others and those knights and Confucian scholars, Zhang Er was able to know many secrets in detail without asking for details. What he said was considered to be the situation facing Wei State today.
"Then...what do you think?"
Xiao Wei Mou smiled slightly. He knew whether what the other party said was true or not, whether it was true or not. Although Wei Wu soldiers were well trained, their actual combat power was only comparable to that of Qin's camp outside the pass.
Coupled with Wei's current national strength, it is unable to compete with Qin in a one-on-one situation.
This is what worries me recently.
"General, do you think the combined power of the three Jin Dynasties can resist Qin?"
Zhang Er acted straightforwardly, picked up the tea cup on the noodle table in front of him, and took another sip to moisten his throat.
The words came out and he asked rhetorically.
"The power of the Three Jins?"
"Korea has been destroyed, and now there are only two Jin Dynasties!"
Xiao Wei Mou chuckled loudly, nearly two hundred years ago, during the Battle of Jinyang, the three families were divided into Jin Dynasty, which was called the Three Jin Dynasty. However, last year, Korea was destroyed by the Qin State, and the name of the Three Jin Dynasty was no longer correct.
"Could it be that the general thought that after Korea was destroyed, all Korean people and all Korean soldiers were also destroyed?"
Zhang Er smiled calmly and shook his head gently.
"Um?"
Xiao Wei Mou let out a sigh, as if he thought of something, and couldn't help but look at Long Yangjun beside him.
There are some things that seem to have been ignored by me.
"Korea was founded two hundred years ago. Last year, the Qin State invaded and destroyed Korea, occupying only the land of Korea. As for the people of Korea, the heart of Korea is still quite unchanged."
"In the battle last year, according to Zhang Er, if Xinzheng has enough food and grass, with the last 200,000 troops, it will definitely not be a problem to support it for several months. In the meantime, the countries in Shandong will come to the rescue."
"South Korea may not be destroyed. Now, although that power has been weakened a lot, it... still exists in the Qin army!"
While breathing, Zhang Er stood up from behind the case, walked to the middle of the hall, looked around at the people around him, and said what he had planned, some of which were said by Chen Yu and some by Liu Ji.
But as long as it helps the great Wei State, it doesn't matter.
Mixed with a different kind of profound meaning, Zhang Er looked at Xiao Wei Mou again.
"Even if South Korea still has residual strength, don't you think they can compete with Qin?"
Xiao Wei Mou groaned for dozens of breaths, with a lot of thoughts in his mind, and then gave a response.
The power of the Qin State's rule of law is spread throughout the army. Even if those people can use it, they will not burst out with great power. At most, they will affect Yingchuan, playing a limited role, and it will be embarrassing to use.
"Any inconspicuous power, if used at a critical moment, will have great power."
"If chaos breaks out in the old land of Korea at this time, with the remaining strength of Korea, it will naturally not pose a great threat to the Qin State. However, General, if the Qin State concentrates on attacking Zhao, it will enter the most critical moment.
.”
"The army of Yan State rescued, the army of Wei State rescued, the army of Chu State rescued, how about that force?"
The use of force also depends on timing. Otherwise, military warfare only depends on the size of the army.
Now, the army of Qin has just marched on the border of Zhao. Sure enough, there is chaos in the old land of Korea. Qin can easily suppress it, but... if Qin's national power is dragged into Zhao.
Even a weak force can be quite tricky!
Because the old people of Korea have successfully restored the country, the Qin State's Yingchuan County and Nanyang County will be unstable, and even Sanchuan County will be unstable, and the crisis force will directly attack outside Hangu Pass.
That kind of situation is probably not what King Qin Ying Zheng wants to see.
"There is no one in Korea."
Xiao Wei Mou thought for a moment and then said something again.
I just heard Zhang Er talking about old things in Korea, and I immediately thought of this, but... the existing power in South Korea is too weak, you can find opportunities, and you have to be an expert to use the power.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to mobilize the powerful force.
"The King of Han is under house arrest!"
"Prince Han Yu died, the royal family was killed, and many were captured!"
"But... the Korean aristocratic family has many old ministers, and there are hundreds of schools of support to help them. There is no shortage of talented people, such as the Confucianists Lu Wan and Liu Bi came from, and the farmers Liu Ji has made friends with, etc."
Zhang Er responded again.
"Even with the power of the Three Jin Dynasties, we can barely protect ourselves."
"With the current national strength of Zhao and Wei, it is difficult for them to compete with Qin!"
"Moreover, your Majesty has not yet decided on a strategy to rescue Zhao!"
Xiao Wei Mou sighed softly, Zhang Er's words were in line with his own feelings, but after all, he and Zhang Er were just ministers, not princes who could make final decisions.
You and others are right!
But what the king said is not bad!
"There are rumors from the Yan State that if the situation in the Zhao State is critical, Prince Dan is willing to lead troops to rescue."
"The three Jins are one, Korea has been destroyed. If the Zhao Kingdom does not exist, the general, Zhang Er and others may really be like the old Koreans and fall into the Xia Dynasty."
Although the words were strong, Zhang Er was sure that the general understood what he meant.
What the king is worried about now is, first of all, his own power and strength, and secondly, the whole country of Wei. The general now holds a heavy army, and there are rumors in Daliang that the king is quite afraid.
Sure enough, he has achieved a reputation like a young master, which is not what the king wants to see.
Instead of doing this, it is not impossible to let Zhao fall.
But... they are still from Wei!
We cannot just watch Wei Guo really come to the end of South Korea.
"Open your ears!"
"Be careful!"
There was a hint of alertness on Xiao Wei Mou's rough expression.
Zhang Er came to the house today, and he indeed helped himself, and also gave Wei Guo a plan. Is it possible that there is an outstanding person behind the Zhang Er in front of him, and there are hundreds of schools of thought?
Xiao Wei Mou felt that they were the only ones.

"Li Si has met Mr. Fu Nian!"
Xianyang Palace, Xingle Palace!
After nearly a month, an order from the king came out of Xianyang and landed directly on the shore of Songhai in the far east. In the Little Sage Village, the Confucian leader Fu Nian did not hesitate too much and simply left a few words in the Little Sage Village.
, that is, pack lightly and set off.
As for some Confucian classics used in teaching, there are hundreds of classics in Xianyang, and Confucian disciples continued to send them to them later. They were dressed in extremely regular Confucian robes, walking boots, tied with long crowns, and looked solemn.
Under the guidance of a dedicated person, Fu Nian stood in the Xingle Palace, which was the core of power in the Xia Dynasty at the moment. He looked around casually and saw that there was no luxury. Compared to the palaces of the princes where the classics were located, it was very inconspicuous.
Of course, the etiquette specifications of any building should be in line with etiquette.
In the palace, only Li Si, Zhang Cang, Lu Jia and others who were also from Confucianism felt close to them. Next to them were some attendants from Xianyang Palace, who were silent. Li Si took a step closer and whispered softly.
"I dare not do this."
"Fu Nian is just a disciple of Confucianism. Prime Minister Li is the minister of the state, so he doesn't dare to be rude!"
In front of Li Si, Fu Nian had only met Li Si a few times in the past at the Little Sage's Villa. His master, Gong Duzi, had different principles from Master Xun, so they never had a close friendship. However... he never thought that he was now a member of the Qin State.
Fake prime minister.
According to the information I received, although Marquis Wu Zhen holds the position of prime minister, he actually does not pay much attention to political affairs. He is acting as Li Si's agent to divide the power of Xiong Qi, Lord of Changping, in the state.
Xiong Qi, the Lord of Changping, has been in the position for nearly ten years since his predecessor, Lu Buwei, the Minister of Wenxin. Fu Nian read Han Fei's "Han Feizi" and can clearly judge that Xiong Qi's position may not last long.
Or perhaps, the power in his hands cannot be as complete as ever.
Among the disciples of Uncle Xun, Li Si was not weak in reputation, but he had reached his current position. Fu Nian was quite emotional. In Xianyang Palace, he did not dare to look down upon him. He moved his hands and dropped the etiquette.
"Mr. Fu Nian!"
"Mr. Fu Nian!"
"..."
Zhang Cang and others on the side also returned with a courtesy. This is Xingle Palace, not outside Xianyang Palace. There are only officials from the Qin State here and no Confucian disciples, so this is necessary.
"Mr. Fu Nian entered Qin for the first time. How do you feel about it?"
Li Si's smile seemed to pass.
"Every industry in agriculture and industry has its own rest, the common people are cultivating the fields, the soldiers are fighting outside, the government agencies are in good hands, and the whole country is in a state of great power, which is unparalleled by other countries in Shandong."
"It's also like what Uncle Xun said in the article "Wang Ba"."
Fu Nian heard this, thought for a while, and then responded.
"Haha, I think the king will be happy to hear Mr. Fu Nian's words."
"Mr. Fu Nian, please don't be anxious. Marquis Wu Zhen entered the palace just now and will soon go to the two counties in Longxi. Therefore, the king is worried about the beauty of Lady Li in the harem, so he invited Marquis Wu Zhen to come and observe her."
"You can come back later."
Li Si smiled brightly and looked at Fu Nian, the Confucian leader in front of him. He didn't know much about him. He had studied under his master in order to learn how to make a living in troubled times.
Within the entire Confucian school, only Xun Kuang, who held the position of holding the three great wine sacrifices at the Jixia Academy of Qi State, had this qualification. Although he was a disciple of Confucianism, he did not have much feeling for Confucianism.
Seeing Mr. Fu Nian look at the superior position, Li Si explained slowly.
"Wu Zhenhou will go to Longxi?"
Fu Nian was slightly surprised.
"Recently, military reports came from Beidi County. The Xiongnu are ready to take advantage of the Qin Dynasty to attack the Zhao Kingdom and invade the western border. The king is worried about Longxi, so Wuzhenhou is coming."
Li Si nodded slightly, and did not hide anything about Wu Zhenhou's upcoming trip to Longxi. He knew a lot about the Confucian information network, and Fu Nian should have heard about it.
"The barbarians invaded, and the King of Qin sent Marquis Wu Zhen there. It seems that he took the Xiongnu's invasion very seriously."
"Those barbarians outside the Great Wall do not accept the teachings of the Xia, do not understand the elegance of the Xia, do not learn the etiquette of the Xia, and want to counterattack the land of the Xia. The king's way is blocked, so they should be dealt with in a domineering manner."
Among the people in the Qin court, the person I felt most at ease with was Tianzong Xuanqingzi. Although he oppressed his master and died,...he was not a problem.
Now he is the Marquis of Wuzhen of the Qin State, and he continues to make military exploits. I am afraid that in the process of the Qin State's march to the east, he will make great achievements. In the future... he will not be far away from being the Marquis of Che.
Fu Nian also had no good impressions of the barbarians outside the Xia Dynasty. Since those people ignored the royal etiquette of the inner sage and the outer king, they would naturally punish them with force and then educate them.
"Hahaha, according to the rumors in the world, Confucians all learn the art of kingship. Now, according to Mr. Fu Nian's words, it seems that there is also the art of military domineering."
"I'm just curious. Sir, do you think there is any way to deal with the barbarians outside the Great Wall?"
After Fu Nian finished speaking and took a breath, another clear and melodious magnetic sound came. From far to near, the sound of footsteps gradually came.
Hearing this, Li Si and others' expressions changed slightly, they all straightened their clothes and looked over.
