Chapter 168 Everyone is happy
The king's order issued to Bai Qi has not left Xianyang yet, but Bai Qi's letter has reached the hands of the King of Qin.
The King of Qin casually handed the bamboo slips to Fan Ju, showing absolute trust in Fan Ju. Fan Ju picked up the bamboo slips, glanced at him, and then his face changed drastically. He looked at the King of Qin in panic and said, "Big King, Ma Fujun was caught by King Han!" The King of Qin, who was recalling the theory of Ma Fujun, suddenly jumped up, "What? Han Ran dared to capture my ministers?" He subconsciously was about to attack, and was suddenly stunned.
No, isn't this what we ordered Han Ran? He caught it and showed that our strategy was successful. Why did Fan Ju look so frightened? Could it be...Ma Fujun...The King of Qin's face turned pale, and Fan Ju hurriedly said: "Please don't worry, King Han did not kill Ma Fujun. He held Ma Fujun hostage and asked Wu'an Jun to withdraw his troops, otherwise he would kill Ma Fujun."
The King of Qin then breathed a sigh of relief. He sat in the upper position, narrowed his eyes and asked, "What exactly does the King of Han want to do?" Fan Ju laughed, shook his head and said, "King Han is a stupid king. His idea is to force countries to invade Korea by holding Ma Fujun hostage." The King of Qin suddenly laughed. He looked at Fan Ju and said helplessly: "I think that being an enemy of such a person is simply a humiliation to me."
Fan Ju smiled, sat in front of the King of Qin, and said seriously: "However, I still have to worry about this matter. King Han is a stupid person. If he is forced to force him to anger, he might really hurt Ma Fujun. If such a fool kills a wise man in Qin, even if he is cramped and broken bones, it will not eliminate my anger. Ma Fujun must be rescued."
The King of Qin narrowed his eyes and said, "I will leave this matter to you."
Fan Ju agreed that the King of Qin was going to rest. The King of Qin read the bamboo slips about Ma Fujun for three days. No matter how strong he was, he could not change the fact that he was already old. He was exhausted, and Fan Ju was better than him. When he returned to his courtyard, Fan Ju began to think about how to rescue Ma Fujun from the King of Han. The war of strife in Korea was just the fog used by Fan Ju to cover up the true intentions.
Fan Ju's mind was weakening the State of Chu, rather than asking the King of Han to apologize.
Bai Qi appeared in South Korea and attracted the attention of all the princes. The State of Chu, Zhao, sent elite troops. He heard that Wei had also prepared on the border and took in many Korean people. Pingyuan Jun arranged them well. The order to attack the State of Chu was issued a few days ago. At this time, General Meng Ao should have prepared before the war. So what Fan Ju had to consider was not that complicated.
He didn't have to think about how Bai Qi would defeat the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms, he just wanted to get Ma Fujun to come to Qin.
Fan Ju was not worried about Ma Fujun's safety at all. People who could have such a long-term vision and even predict the advantages and disadvantages of a certain system in hundreds of years would never be held hostage by a stupid King of Han for too long. At least, King of Han could not hurt him. Obviously, the King of Qin felt that it was not important to this matter. Fan Ju narrowed his eyes, and suddenly, he laughed, and immediately picked up the bamboo slips and started writing.
After writing for a while, he found another disciple. He raised his head and said to the disciple: "Give this order to Bai Qi. In addition, King Han held Ma Fujun hostage and sent someone to tell the news about the news, Pingyuan Jun and Chunshen Jun. The more people you know, the better." The disciple looked at Fan Ju in confusion, nodded, agreed, and hurried out of the courtyard. Fan Ju sneered, worried that there would be no way to dissolve the alliance and urge conflicts between countries. Now there is a way.
The idiot, King of Han.
.........
Xiang Xian carefully led his soldiers and walked on the road to South Korea. He had been ambushed. He was even more careful at this moment. Even if he met the people, he would prepare to fight. Perhaps, this is the root cause of the long-term battle against Bai Qi. The soldiers of Chu were not so scared at this moment. In order to motivate the soldiers, Xiang Xian kept boasting about Ma Fujun to the soldiers. He said: The day when Ma Fujun arrived was Bai Qi's death!
The soldiers actually believed it. Now Ma Fujun is in Korea. They are not afraid of Bai Qi. They are full of fighting spirit and even want to find Bai Qi quickly and be at odds with him. This makes Xiang Xian frightened. If he had known this, he would not have been so powerful at the beginning. Xiang Xian did not send troops for no reason. He has a more important mission to save the people from all over the world. He is responsible for bringing the people to the tall city and giving them enough food.
Unlike Zhao State, South Korea is not short of food. Over the years, South Korea's agricultural development has indeed been very good. The stupid Zhang Ping assisted the wise genius king. By improving farming technology, raising cattle, he developed a lot of land, making the South Korean treasury sufficient food. However, the Korean people do not live better than the people of other countries. No matter what the grain production is, they still live in dire straits.
This is of course because of the incompetence of the Korean Prime Minister.
Zhang Ping repeatedly proposed to reduce taxes, give the people time to cultivate, and increase the household registration in South Korea, but the King of Korea did not allow it. He scolded Zhang Ping with the doctrine of Shen Buwei. He said: Shen Zi said: Correct the name. The so-called correcting the name, of course, includes establishing the prestige of the king, which means that each person should perform his duties and not change the system easily. At the same time, the king cannot be too good to the people, so as not to lose his dignity.
The ministers in South Korea now hate Shinbuhe very much. If Shinbuhe learned that the later kings of South Korea were still so loyal to implement their thoughts, they would not know how happy he would be.
Therefore, Xiang first brought enough food this time, and these Koreans were very scared, especially when facing the Chu people who said things that no one could understand. Perhaps, in front of them, there was no difference between the Qin people and the Chu people. They couldn't tell them clearly. Fortunately, among these people, there were also elderly people who knew the difference. They would appease the rest of the people and tell them that they were allies and let them not be afraid.
At the same time, Lejian was also busy appeaseing the people of all over the world. Unlike Xiang Xian, he had a desire in his heart. He wanted to fight Bai Qi. He had been in Yan State for a long time and had led troops to fight since he was a teenager. Although he fought against the Hu people from Liaodong, this also tempered him, as the most immature, to the general who was victorious in every battle, Lejian did not experience a single defeat when Yan State occupied Liaodong.
He wanted to fight with this general who was regarded as a god, and he was not afraid of Bai Qi. However, his idea was destined to fail because he had not found Bai Qi's whereabouts. The scouts he sent were searching around and only found traces of Qin people camping, but could not judge the exact number of people. When the scouts excitedly found Lejian and told him that they found another trace of Qin people's staying. The Qin people should have been ready for the battle after the news around them.
However, he still couldn't find Bai Qi.
Zhao Bu stood beside Lejian with a smile and said to Lejian: "It seems that Bai Qi dare not fight you anymore. I think you must be able to defeat Bai Qi."
Lejian shook his head and said seriously: "He can find my trace, but I can't find his whereabouts... This shows the problem, I am not as good as him." Lejian admitted this simply. Zhao Bu looked at him in surprise. Lejian never ordered to search for Bai Qi's whereabouts again. He just focused on appeaseing the people everywhere and prepared to deal with Bai Qi's attack.
During these days, Zhao Kuo was not idle either. Every day, he was holding the King of Han and telling King of Han about Shen Buwei's theory. The King of Han became more and more excited as he listened. He refused to leave when Zhao Kuo asked him to leave, hoping to stay by Zhao Kuo's side and continue to ask for advice. Zhao Kuo was still a little worried at first, and he was afraid that Lejian and Xiang Xian would be ambushed by Bai Qi. Bai Qi was elusive and it was really hard to be hostile.
Sometimes, the general who fought with him didn't even know where he was now.
Fortunately, after several days, Zhao Kuo did not hear of the ambush of Xiang Xian and Lejian, so he gradually calmed down.
"Shangjun..." Just as Zhao Kuo was teaching the King of Han, Zhang Ping walked into the palace. At this moment, Zhang Ping still looked a little sick. He looked at the King of Han worriedly. Seeing the scars on the King of Han's face, he looked at Zhao Kuo next to him. Zhao Kuo was about to say something, but Zhang Ping suddenly leaned over to Zhao Kuo and said tremblingly: "Shangjun is wrong because I did not even dissuade him. Please forgive him. I am willing to accept your punishment on behalf of Shangjun."
Zhang Ping lowered his head, his eyes full of despair.
Looking at the young prime minister in front of him who was determined to save South Korea, Zhao Kuo was silent. Seeing the worry and fear on Zhang Ping's face, Zhao Kuo felt really uncomfortable. He asked, "What is your Lord worthy of your behavior?" The King of Han was stunned and said with a smile: "Zhang Xiang accepted the royal family's kindness for several generations and enjoyed his salary. Isn't this..."
Seeing Zhao Kuo's eyes gradually becoming unkind, King Han hurriedly closed his mouth.
Zhang Ping raised his head and looked at Zhao Kuo in front of him. He asked back, "What did King Zhao do to make you sacrifice your life to repay?"
Zhao Kuo was stunned and nodded and said, "I understand." He looked at the King of Han again and said seriously, "With such a minister in South Korea, how could he still fall to the current level?" The King of Han couldn't speak for a moment.
"I think the talent of flatness is far superior to Shen Buhe." Zhao Kuo suddenly spoke.
King Han was shocked and hurriedly said, "How is this possible? Shin Buhe is the prime minister..."
Zhao Kuo interrupted him again and asked: "Can Shen Buhe develop farming and sericulture for you, train soldiers, and help you govern the country?"
King Han shook his head blankly.
"But he can." Zhao Kuo pointed to Zhang Ping in front of him and said.
Zhao Kuo still left King Han and Zhang Ping, and went to rest. King Han was thinking about something. He looked at Zhang Ping in front of him, frowned and lowered his head. Seeing that he did not speak, Zhang Ping said, "Please don't blame Ma Fujun for his rude behavior... Ma Fujun is not trying to kill the lord, nor is he trying to insult you. He wants to... change your fault."
King Han stretched out his hand, touched his eyes, and his whole body trembled. He laughed and said, "You are right. I didn't blame Ma Fujun." Zhang Ping looked at him in surprise. On weekdays, shouldn't King Han say something back? Seeing Zhang Ping surprised, King Han stepped forward, grabbed his hand, and said seriously: "I bought jewelry before, but only left the box. In the future, I will not do this again."
"I want to teach you all the big and small matters in China, and you will handle all the things."
"Shen Buhe said that the monarch is useless and should leave the matter to talented people." As the King of Han said, Zhang Ping widened his eyes and looked at the King of Han in front of him in a daze. Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and slapped himself. The King of Han was startled by him, and hurriedly took a step back, looked at Zhang Ping, and asked vigilantly: "What do you want to do?" Zhang Ping suddenly laughed, stepped forward and held the King of Han's hand.
"Shangjun... I will definitely assist you with all my strength. As long as I am still alive, Korea will not perish... it won't." Zhang Ping said, he was a little excited and even stuttered. King Han only felt that his hands were grabbed by him, and it hurt a little. When he wanted to scold him, he found that Zhang Ping's eyes in front of him were red and almost burst into tears. King Han was stunned, silently enduring the pain caused by Zhang Ping, but did not speak.
"Ma Fujun..." Zhang Ping knelt in front of Zhao Kuo, which scared Zhao Kuo. This was a tribute to his parents. It was too heavy. Zhao Kuo helped him up. Zhang Ping smiled and tears kept falling. He wanted to say something, but he just couldn't say it. Looking at Zhang Ping who was crying and laughing, Zhao Kuo sighed, patted his shoulder, and said, "You are a wise man."
Zhang Ping left happily. Everyone had never seen him look so happy. He never drank alcohol, and even took the drink and left the courtyard. Some people said that when he saw him kneeling in front of the cemetery, talking happily to himself, dancing and drunk. The ministers thought that the prime minister might have been driven crazy.
King Han sat in the palace, seriously thinking about the truth that Zhao Kuo told him.
"In the past, Wei State attacked Han, and Shen Buhe asked Zhao Hou to bow down to King Wei to resolve the crisis that Han was facing... Now, I can also follow Zhao Hou! I bow down to King Qin! Isn't this what Ma Fujun said to show his enemy as weak?" King Han, who felt that he had cracked Zhao Kuo's true intention, couldn't help laughing out loud. Sure enough, after studying with Mr. Ma Fujun for a while, I became smarter...
"Ma Fujun said that those who have meritoriousness can receive rewards. I have rewarded so many people before, but none of them have made any contributions... It seems that the rewards to them should be taken back."
"By the way, there are restrictions on the nobles. When the Qin people leave, I will send someone to confiscate their wealth..."
Zhang Ping is very happy.
King Han was also very happy.
