Qin Official

Chapter 976 Motherland

In this day and age, it is easy for individuals to make choices.

If the words are not used and the actions are not consistent, then the words will be ignored, and there is no need to pay attention to loyalty. Just like Li Shiqi, seeking wealth and power for himself, he will fly over to rest when he sees a good piece of wood.

But making decisions for a country, a county, and millions of Koreans is not that simple.

In particular, the option before us is the enemy from the past, still under the banner of "Qin". It was the country that was responsible for the destruction of Zhang Liang's motherland, the Qin officials who killed his brother, and the people Zhang Zifang spent his whole life fighting. The tyranny of battle!

In the past, I stabbed the tiger with a blade, but today I have to send it into the tiger's mouth myself, just to prevent the millions of people in Korea from being completely destroyed in the fight between tigers and wolves.

Therefore, in addition to Heifu's national policies and policy measures, there is also some information that Zhang Liang must learn from Li Shiqi.

"Qin Ting really has no emperor?"

"Heifu changed the name of Qin Jun to Dingyi?"

Is this to prevent the people of the Six Kingdoms from being hostile to the Qin army and resisting stubbornly?

Or maybe he wants to show that this is not Qin's revenge for the restoration of the Six Kingdoms, but for the sake of unifying the world?

Sensing Zhang Liang's wavering, Li Shiqi continued his lobbying tactics.

"South Korea is in danger now!"

He exaggeratedly said: "There are Gong and Chenggao fortresses in the north, Yiyang and Shangban fortresses in the west, Wan, Rang, and Mishui in the east, and Xingshan in the south. The area is more than 900 miles away. However, today Gong, Chenggao, Yiyang, and Shangban have been occupied by the Dongmen Leopards, and Wan, Rang, and Xingshan have been captured by the Nanyang Army. This is a favorable location for defeat."

Zhang Liang was noncommittal: "South Korea still has Ru River and Sheyuan Pass, and the enemy has not been able to cross even half a step."

Li Shiqi shook his head: "If a short Sheyuan Pass and a shallow Ru River are attacked by force, how can it survive? You know, it is as majestic as Wuguan. The regent Xia Gong used earth, fire, sky and thunder to defeat it in one day. , as wide as a big river, Han Xin can easily cross it with a wooden poppy leather bag, how can Yingchuan resist Wang Shi? Zifang better not take any chances!"

"Furthermore, the land of Korea is dangerous, and people live in the mountains. What they grow from grains is beans instead of wheat. What the people eat is mostly beans, rice, and grass soup. If one year old is not harvested, the people will not be tired of chaff. The area is less than 900 miles away, and there is no place for two years old. Food. And Yingchuan has a large population, one million. There are so many people but there is insufficient food. Bandits are rampant and the people are in dire straits. I expect that the number of soldiers that South Korea can recruit is only 30,000. Excluding the soldiers guarding the Pavilion, they can resist. Master Wang’s is only twenty thousand.”

"The Duke of Xia has commanded more than twenty counties, with a population of tens of millions, hundreds of thousands in armor, thousands of chariots, and tens of thousands of horses, freed prisoners, ferocious warriors, and those who wield halberds. It is invincible. That’s right. Qin’s horses are so good, and so many soldiers are searching in front and behind, and between their hooves, it’s impossible to count them. This number is a defeat.”

Zhang Liang retorted: "Although Han soldiers are few, the most powerful bows and crossbows in the world all come from Han. Han soldiers can shoot with more than enough, and they can't stop their shots. The swords and halberds of Han soldiers all come from Mingshan and Tangxi. The land cuts off cattle and horses, the water cuts off swans and wild geese, and when the enemy is in sight, they are all equipped with strong armor and an iron curtain. With the bravery of the Korean soldiers, wearing strong armor, strong plantar crossbows, and carrying sharp swords, one person can be worth a hundred, it is not enough to say."

Li Shiqi smiled: "Really? Why do I only see Han soldiers who are so hungry that they can't even draw the bowstring? Even though the Korean soldiers have advantages and powerful bows and crossbows, they are still not as good as Xia Gong's ink attack. There are also fire and thunder from the sky, which makes it difficult for humans to defeat them. Therefore, when Xia Gong's soldiers fight against Han soldiers, they are like Meng Benzhi fighting a coward; when pressed by gravity, they are like Wuhuo fighting an infant. This is a defeat of the army!"

He made a conclusion for this war: "Han suffered three defeats. The husband caused misfortune in order to seek blessings, and his plan was shallow but his resentment was deep. Going against Xia and following Chu, even if you want to avoid death, you can't get it. Therefore, it is better to surrender to Xia for the ovary plan." male."

From the beginning to the end, Li Shiqi deliberately did not refer to the Qin army, but only called Xia Gong and Wang Shi...

"Then what?" Zhang Liang was silent for a long time and asked again:

"Has Duke Xia made a decision on how to deal with the six countries after the defeat? Should he imitate Qin Shi Huang, or should he be lenient?"

Speaking of this, Li Shiqi felt regretful. He went to Qin a few months ago to meet with Heifu and proposed a compromise method that agreed to the restoration of the six kingdoms. Each country would reserve a county as a fiefdom, and then let him grant its king. Seal the letter and alienate his relationship with the general. In this way, the six kings will be willing to submit to Duke Xia. The monarch, ministers and people all have the virtue of being a regent. They all admire the local custom and are willing to be ministers and concubines. They submit to the court...

It's a pity that Zhang Cang organized and Hei Fu also vetoed it, and kept saying that the world must be "fixed as one". Otherwise, with Zhang Liang's current attitude, wouldn't it be easy for Han to surrender?

But he couldn't say this directly, so he could only deceive Zhang Liang in a vague way: "Xia Gong said that Korea can be retained..."

But Zhang Liang laughed: "Li Sheng, do you think I am King Huai of Chu? When Zhang Yi said six hundred miles, he really thought it was six hundred miles."

He became serious: "I think Mr. Hei has always regarded himself as the successor of Qin Shihuang. The six countries will be reduced to counties and counties, and it will never be preserved. If you want to continue to be a guest instead of a prisoner, Li Sheng is the best to be honest!"

"Zifang knows about Duke Xia." Li Shiqi was a little embarrassed when his lie was exposed.

Zhang Liang said: "He is our most difficult enemy on the road to recovery. He doesn't know himself or the enemy, and is difficult to win in a hundred battles. How dare he ignore it?"

But with the mountains at his back, Li Shiqi still had a tough attitude:

"South Korea must cancel the title of king and return it to counties. Otherwise, everything is easy to negotiate. Zifang, you have no right to bargain..."

At this moment, a close relative of Zhang Liang came in and handed him a letter.

Zhang Liang glanced at it and frowned, but then he laughed loudly: "Li Sheng, the Master Wang who you said was invincible has been defeated!"

"This is fake news. Why would Zifang lie to me?"

Li Shiqi read the news just sent without changing his expression.

It is said that in the middle of January, Xiang Ji left Nanjun, went north to Shen and Xi, and entered Runan. The Nanyang Junwei and the generals deceived the Chu army, which was tired from the distance, and lost a lot of troops, so they personally intercepted the Nanyang army with 20,000 troops. He wanted to cooperate with the Nanjun soldiers to kill Xiang Ji north of Tongbai Mountain. However, Clinker was defeated by Xiang Ji, killing one-third of the army. It is said that even the general captain was injured and captured...

"Whether it is true or not, Li Sheng will know when he returns to Guanzhong. I think the news of the defeat has already spread to Xianyang on flying horses."

Zhang Liang smiled and said: "It seems that the situation between the two sides is now confusing again."

"It's just a fluke. It has nothing to do with the overall situation."

Li Shiqi dismissed it and said, "I heard that Xiang Ji failed in Hengshan and Nanjun. He marched in the middle of winter and suffered heavy losses. Even if he won, it would be a miserable victory. When Xiang Ji reaches Chendi, Huainan will bear the fierce attack from Jiangdong and Hengshan. , the backyard will be lost. What's more, Chu has already tried its best, but is still at a disadvantage. When Xia Gong sends his army eastward, it will be like falling into a heavy weight, gathering it on a bird's egg. Chu will definitely be out of luck!"

Zhang Liang no longer argued with him, but agreed with Li Shiqi:

"It has nothing to do with the overall situation. In this war, Heifu will still win and Xiang Ji will lose. But if he wants to dominate the world, it may take him several months, or even a year and a half, longer than before."

"Unless South Korea turns to Heifu and wants to rule the world early, he needs Yingchuan!"

Zhang Liang smiled slyly: "May I ask Li Sheng, am I qualified to bargain now?"

Li Shiqi looked at Zhang Liang intently, and after a long time he laughed again:

"No, Zhang Zifang, you are even less qualified."

"For Han, the worst-case scenario is for the two sides to repeatedly fight in the Central Plains. Ruo Xia Gong and the Chu State fought fiercely in Yingchuan, fighting for land and killing people in the fields; fighting for cities and killing people in the city. Over the years, If you have a Korean household registration, you may not be able to save even one out of ten! Is this what Zifang wants to see?"

He captured Zhang Liang's biggest weakness.

It's not greed for the so-called "fake king", or even attachment to the body of South Korea, but the weight that millions of people in Yingchuan carry on their shoulders...

From now on, the people of the entire Han region are hostages of the Qin and Chu armies, and if Zhang Liang wants to save them, he has only one way!

"Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain."

Zhang Liang held up his hands, and the crisp applause was filled with helplessness and admiration.

"Li Sheng, you are a good lobbyist. If you had been a hundred years earlier, although you would not be as good as Zhang Yi and Su Qin, you could still compete with the likes of Gongsun Yan and Chen Zhen."

"Miuzan, I would rather learn from Zigong."

Li Shiqi bowed to Zhang Liang and said: "I hope Zifang will fight him. Only in this way can we protect Yingchuan from the disaster of massacre in the field..."

"South Korea's conditions are as follows. I hope Li Sheng can tell them to Mr. Xia."

After Zhang Liang coughed several times, he said slowly one by one:

"First, forgive all Koreans, and do not punish Korean officials and soldiers for any crime of rebellion or banditry."

"Second, after the surrender of Han Dynasty, 300,000 dan of grain were transported to Yingchuan to alleviate the famine of the Korean people."

Between the country and the people, he chose the latter, to restore Korea. Zhang Liang's lifelong obsession, after success, he put it down...

As for yourself? Not even a consideration.

The people are more important than the king, and the country is the second best! Without its people, how can we talk about the country and the monarch?

He bowed to Li Shiqi and said: "If this can be done, the Han people will assist the Duke of Xia, drive the Chu people out of Yingchuan, and keep the Han people away from the battlefield. Afterwards, they should also become counties and enjoy peace."

Zhang Liang did not bring peace and stability to the Koreans, which he owed them.

I just hope that, as Li Shiqi said, that person can bring peace to the world and eliminate war?

Of course, he may also be like Qin Shihuang and just deceive the people of the world.

But now, Zhang Liang had no choice. For a moment, he actually understood what Ye Teng had done.

"Where is the ovary?" Li Shiqi avoided the table and returned the courtesy, and asked again:

"Zifang doesn't want something for himself?"

Such as pardon, such as official position.

"Xia Gong is very thirsty for talents..." he said meaningfully.

"No need."

Zhang Liang raised his head. When the burden on his shoulders was lifted, his eyes flashed with the pride and passion of his youth!

"On the list of pardoned Koreans."

"No need to include Zhang Liang!"

He was born with an aristocratic temperament. He gestured with his hands gracefully, let Li Shiqi leave, and said with a smile:

"In the eyes of the Qin people, I am a traitor who assassinated Qin Shihuang, but Zhang Liang still has no regrets about this incident."

"Because wherever there is tyranny and dictatorship, there will be people like me. Others remain silent, but I will definitely shout out!"

"Later, I made suggestions for the Xiang family, captured the East China Sea, captured Yingchuan, entered Chenggao, and now I have become the false king of South Korea..."

"With my status, I may not survive. Qin's laws and orders will never be accepted while I am alive, and Duke Xia will always be worried that I will gather people to cause chaos again in Han."

He was forced to become the king by the Xiang family, but wearing this crown of thorns, as the last "king" of Korea, he must be prepared to bear its weight...

Even make sacrifices for it!

Zhenghan, Yingchuan, Qin and Wei are just opposite.

This is the place where he was born and raised. As a descendant of the Zhang family for five generations, Zhang Liang respects, cherishes and defends this land that has been passed down from generation to generation, and loves the people on this land.

Even if she is very weak, a philistine, and serves the great country like a concubine, will her son dislike his mother?

What are you willing to pay for your motherland?

Rich family fortune, twenty years of hiding in hiding, sharpening daggers, reading the list of enemies day and night, and the freedom of being a scholar to come and go as he pleases, put on the shackles, and carry the burden...

Even……

"life!"

"It is said that the king's teacher has to punish but not to fight. Any punishment is not to punish the people, but to punish the people who are in chaos."

Since the restoration of Korea, Zhang Liang has never been so calm: "Zhang Liang, the one who rebelled against Korea, is not a commoner. Therefore, since Xia Gong claims to be the king's mentor of benevolence and righteousness, please punish the Koreans for their 'rebellion' , blame it all on me, the evil person."

"Use Zhang Liang's death to end the wheel of hatred between Han and Qin!"
