Qin Official

Zhang Liang was not angry when Lu Goujian sprayed saliva on his face. After wiping his face, he stopped at the door.

Lu Goujian drew his sword and pointed it at him, just as he had scolded Jing Ke angrily, and scolded: "You son, get out of the way!"

Zhang Liang refused, saying: "I personally watched Mr. Gao build a building in Song Zicheng while singing, and was arrested resolutely. Later, when I heard that his assassination failed and he was torn apart by a chariot in Xianyang, I and Lu Daxia heard that Jing Qing failed to assassinate Qin. My mood is the same, I wish I could replace it with my own body!"

"Although Jing Qing is dead, he made the tyrant dazzled for a long time, and he is a role model for us!"

"Although Mr. Gao is dead, the words he shouted are enough to make people all over the world imitate him."

This was a secret matter, but Lu Goujian didn't know. He was stunned: "What are you talking about?"

Zhang Liang also recently learned about it from someone who was hiding in the Xianyang court to provide information to the anti-Qin people, so he said word for word: "Mr. Gao angrily criticized the tyrant: The days are mourning, and I am here." You will all perish!"

It is said that this was a curse issued by the Xia people who hated Xia Jie, who claimed to be the sun, and vowed not to coexist with him. When Shang Tang attacked Xia Jie, he also wrote this sentence into his oath...

After Lu Goujian understood this sentence, he put down the sword in his hand, recited this sentence silently, and sighed several times.

This sentence can be said to shout out the aspirations of the people who restored the country. Their relatives and friends died at the hands of the Qin army, their heads were beheaded, and their families were destroyed. The Qin Dynasty's posture of driving away the light knights also made both sides There is no possibility of reconciliation.

Seeing that Lu Goujian had calmed down a little, Zhang Liang said again: "Although the assassination of Qin and the restoration of the country must continue, it must be divided into time."

"After Mr. Gao's defeat, Zhao Zheng became more and more suspicious. He stayed away from the princes and his whereabouts became more unpredictable. Even the prime minister and the imperial censor could not know his itinerary in advance. It was not until the day of departure that he would be informed by the servants. , the CRRC government informed the accompanying officials. But where they will stay the next day and which way they will take are still unknown..."

Under such circumstances, it is extremely difficult to ambush and assassinate in advance. What's more, now that Qin Shihuang's chariot has already issued a note, Lu Goujian's mind became hot and he led the anti-Qin people from Zhao who had finally hidden them to kill him from Julu. I'm afraid that if I can't even cross the Taihang Mountains, I will be captured by the Qin officials in the county!

Therefore, Zhang Liang earnestly advised Lu Goujian: "If you die to assassinate the tyrant and to relieve the world from hanging, then that's it. If you die at the hands of the local officials, wouldn't it be unjust? At that time, what revenge and what? Restoring the country has become a joke!"

Lu Goujian also knew that even if he took his guests all the way there, let alone assassinating him, he might not even be able to find Qin Shihuang's chariot. He couldn't help but feel discouraged: "Then what do you think we should do?"

Zhang Liang answered him with a sentence from "Yi".

"A gentleman hides his weapon in his body and waits for the time to move. What's the disadvantage?"

…

"You can't conspire with Shuzi."

When he walked out of Lu Goujian's courtyard, Zhang Liang sighed helplessly and felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

It has been eleven years since South Korea was destroyed, and it has been eleven years since his own brother was killed by the Qin people.

Seven years have passed since the rebellion of the old Korean nobles failed and he left Xinzheng.

For seven years, Zhang Liang traveled between Han, Liang, Chen, and Qi, watching helplessly as Wei, Yan, Chu, and Qi perished one by one, but he was powerless. When I was at my lowest, I had no choice but to do as Confucius said, "If you are not good at the Tao, float on the sea on a raft." I boarded a boat and traveled far away, and went to the land of Hui in the East China Sea to seek refuge with Lord Canghai.

But Zhang Liang did not give up after all. He came back. He allied with Zhang Er and Chen Yu of Huaiyang in the south and Zelu and Goujian of the mainland in the north. He wanted to build an anti-Qin network that spanned the hometowns of the six countries. The main goal was still to assassinate Qin Shihuang. , to achieve the purpose of beheading his head and causing Qin to be in chaos without fighting.

However, after two years of wasted time, the sable fur was gone, and the gold was gone, but he didn't even have the chance to see Qin Shihuang's chariot. This time he heard that Confucian scholars and alchemists were trying their best to encourage Qin Shihuang to tour east. He thought it was an opportunity, but unexpectedly, However, Qin Shihuang turned back and headed north...

Zhang Liang could only return without success again.

This is nothing, but after this planning, he found that most of the so-called "heroes" of Yan and Zhao wanted to rebel against Qin and assassinate Qin in a hot head, but they did not have any careful plan. If they cooperated with them, the possibility of success was very low. , once the matter is exposed, it may be all over.

"It seems that if I want to succeed, I still have to do it alone."

With this in mind, Zhang Liang arrived outside the yard of Lu Goujian's house.

In the courtyard, the Yanzhao righteous soldiers recruited by Lu Goujian were eating, but at this moment, they all put down their bowls and chopsticks, and stared dumbfounded at a strong man sitting cross-legged on the ground, holding a Tao Li directly while eating...

The strong man had a big appetite and an ugly appearance. He carried a large iron vertebra under his right arm, which probably weighed forty or fifty kilograms. He would not put it down for a moment even when he was eating or bowing his hands in salute. The iron chains on the handle of the big iron vertebra are folded around it. If they were all released, it would be more than ten feet long!

This strong man came with Zhang Liang, and Zhang Liang spent a lot of money to build the iron spine for him. People from Yan and Zhao asked curiously, but he rarely talked to everyone, and his words were like barbarian birds.

But the Yanzhao martyrs did not dare to offend him, because on the first day they came, they saw this man smashing a continental swamp bison to death with one spine! The owner Lu Goujian was very competitive and wanted to test his strength with him, but when they took off their shirts and reached each other, they were knocked to the ground in three rounds!

The other guests from Yan and Zhao competed with him, and no one was his enemy.

None of them knew where Zhang Liang found such a person. They asked him where his hometown was and what his name was, but they didn't answer...

So everyone could only give him a nickname as a nickname, but he liked it very much, and in the end even Zhang Liang called him that.

"A natural stranger must be put to use!"

Zhang Liang secretly thought, with a smile on his face, he walked over and called to the strongman:

"Big Tiezhu, let's go!"

…

It was wise for Lu Goujian to give up the assassination operation, because before they set off from Julu County, Qin Shihuang's chariot had already climbed over Shangjuzhu Mountain and arrived at Yanmen Pass...

Standing at the small but dangerous Yanmen Gate, looking to the west at Juzhu Mountain, where "Heavenly Creation God" is the name, and to the east at the towering peaks, like Mount Moji with sharp hairpins, Qin Shihuang couldn't help but wonder how steep this place was, and asked Li Sidao: "Tingwei, I remember that you also participated in the compilation of "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" back then?"

Li Si's heart trembled when he heard this. He sacrificed his life for Lu Buwei and killed Han Fei. These were two experiences that he had been trying to avoid, but at this moment, he could only bite the bullet and agree.

Fortunately, the emperor did not deliberately embarrass him. He just said: "I especially remember that there is an article "You Beginning" in it, which talks about the nine fortresses in the world. Which nine fortresses are they?"

Li Si did not lose his skills and immediately said: "Your Majesty, they are Dafen, Ming'e, Jingruan, Fangcheng, Weihan, Jingxing, Lingzhen, Juzhu, and Juyong. Among them, Juzhu, point to it. This is Yanmen Pass!"

Yanmen Yanmen, according to legend, every spring, geese flying from the south to the north, carrying reed leaves in their mouths, fly to Yanmen and hover for a long time, until the leaves fall before they can pass. Therefore, there is a saying that "Yanmen Mountain is where geese fly out." This is the choke point from Taiyuan to Daibei.

After Qin unified the world, he began a rumbling movement of fortresses and beams, destroying many river defense obstacles artificially set up by the Six Kingdoms in the Central Plains, such as Fangcheng Fortress and Ming'e Fortress. Although it was difficult to dismantle them for a while, they were all Already in a semi-abandoned state.

However, Yanmen Pass, as an important frontier fortress, not only did not become abandoned, but with the imperial court's "Order to Guard the Frontier and Tuntian Fields", a lot of new blood was added, and many Central Plains families were moved here one after another.

On the order of Qin Shihuang, Meng Tian, ​​who was in charge of the military affairs of Yanmen, Yunzhong and Daijun, learned that the Holy Emperor had arrived and hurried to greet him and met Qin Shihuang at the northern foot of Gouzhu Mountain.

Qin Shihuang was much more tolerant to Meng Tian than to Li Xin, and asked him to board the carriage and report carefully.

"Yanmen County was originally the land of Loufan. There is still a county named Loufan. It was more than a hundred years ago that King Wuling of Zhao defeated Loufan after riding and shooting in Hufu, and Yanmen County was established there. Half of the people in Loufan were They moved west to Henan, half of them stayed where they were, surrendered to Zhao, and became Zhao's barbarians, helping them conquer Zhongshan..."

Loufan Cavalry, this is the Zhao Guoqiang Cavalry that brought great pressure to Qin’s superior counties decades ago. Qin Shihuang also heard about it. Now, this powerful armed force has been absorbed by the Qin Dynasty...

There were barbarians in Yanmen County, and they were invaded several times. Therefore, the people are cautious and good-tempered, always willing to be heroes and traitors, and do not engage in agriculture and business. Moreover, its people are unevenly distributed and extremely fierce. Although they have the characteristics of Zhao land, they also have their own characteristics.

For example, their loyalty to the State of Zhao is far less than that of Handan and Julu, and Lou Fanren among them is a mother who has milk and only loyal to the strong and rich. Back then, Qin and Zhao fought fiercely in Yunzhong and Yanmen. Lou Fanren often had a tribe defect to both countries and act as mercenaries.

Historically, even in the Chu-Han War, there were a large number of Loufan mercenaries in the armies of both Chu and Han...

Qin Shihuang looked out of the car. He noted that it was summer and the flowers were blooming at the northern foot of the city. Even the sky looked exceptionally high and refreshing in this season. The grass was like grass, swaying like waves in the long wind, and the white clouds were in full bloom. Similar flocks of sheep are flowing on the grassy slopes, which is refreshing. Like Beidi County, this place is also half farming and half pastoral.

The emperor's motorcade was driving in such a scenery, and on both sides of the tightly guarded guards, there were also some Hu people wearing Hu uniforms and carrying bows and arrows riding around. Their horses were brisk. This is the world-famous "Lou". Annoying cavalry."

"Heifu is recruiting the army cavalry in the north, Li Xin is recruiting the Qiang cavalry in Longxi, Feng Jie is recruiting the Bai Zhai cavalry in Shangjun, and you are recruiting the Loufan cavalry here."

Qin Shihuang shook his head: "Do the four generals in the four places have the same purpose but the same approach?"

There is nothing that can be done about this. The war is about to start, and the population of the border counties is not large. It is impossible to use only Qin people. It is bound to use Rongdi people who are familiar with the terrain of riding and shooting.

However, out of the idea that "those who are not from our race must have different minds", Qin Shihuang also felt that it was not a good thing to rely too much on the Rong, Di and cavalry in this war.

In contrast, Qin Shihuang was more appreciative of Heifu's proposal to "use Rong Di as hunting dogs and the good men of the north as hunting bows" based on this.

The Kansai Ryokaiko are the most trustworthy group in the government. Using them as the core to rebuild elite cavalry equipped with high saddles and stirrups is a good choice...

While talking, Loufan County arrived. Outside the small county, local officials, residents, and a group of immigrants from the mainland who had just arrived were kneeling to welcome the emperor's arrival.

…

When Qin Shihuang's car passed by, Ban Yi, a Chu man, knelt behind the crowd, not daring to express his anger.

He was originally a shepherd in Fulisai, Sishui County. Fulisai Guyuan is the source of the poem "The grass grows in Liliyuan, and the glory is withered every year." There is plenty of grass and strong livestock, so Ban has been raising livestock for generations. His family has accumulated hundreds of gold, and he has dozens of shepherd boys and hundreds of cattle and sheep.

Originally, Banshi lived a good life in Sishui County. Unexpectedly, at this time last year, a guy named "Hei Fu" gave Qin Shihuang a lesson about "garrisoning fields and guarding borders." Heifu suggested that the country be divided into several large service areas such as Hebei, Guanxi, Huaihan Jiangnan, and the Central Plains. In this way, northerners would not have to garrison in the south, and southerners would not have to garrison in the west. This would save a lot of garrison costs. Reduce the burden on the garrison soldiers.

As for the counties in the Central Plains, as the areas where one-half of the world's population gathers, in addition to arranging different service border counties according to geographical distance, some people will also be transferred to immigrate to the borders and garrison in the fields...

Unfortunately, the Sishui County where Ban Yi was located, although it was in Western Chu, was also classified as the "Central Plains", and the quota for immigrating to guard the border fell squarely on him.

So Ban Yi's family, including his herdsmen and shepherd boys, all moved north to Yanmen County. The government took a fancy to his livestock herding ability and asked him to tame cattle and sheep here, especially since the Qin Dynasty recently planned to introduce a large number of sheared and weavers. Qiangzhong sheep...

Ban Yi complained in his heart, but did not dare to resist and run away. Today he heard that the emperor came to the small county of Loufan. He was supervising the shepherd boys grazing outside the city. He could only hurriedly ask them to drive the sheep away while he knelt by the roadside. Waiting for the imperial driver with respect and fear.

When the emperor's "Golden Root Car" and several auxiliary cars passed by, Ban Yi raised his head slightly, wanting to see the power of Qin Shihuang.

But he was shocked to find that on the grass across the road, one of his own lambs, bleating or something, was about to run towards the driver!

Ban Yi was stunned, his heart almost jumped out of his throat!

Fortunately, at the last moment, his shepherd boy named "Xin" ran over and hugged the lamb tightly before it was stabbed to death by the roadside guard. On the grass, people were bowing their heads to the emperor...

Lang Wei, who had already drawn his sharp blade, saw that he was just a teenage shepherd boy, so he didn't take him seriously and drove him away.

Ban Yi then breathed a sigh of relief. He was thankful that the lamb did not hit the driver, and he was also thankful that the Qin officials did not interrogate the shepherd boy.

He only thought that the little shepherd boy "Xin" who was brought to him by a Huainan celebrity two years ago and asked him to hide it on his behalf was a Chu general who died in the war. However, he did not expect that Xin's identity was even more unusual. …

On the grass across the road, Slim Xin sat slumped on the ground holding the lamb, watching the Tiger Wolf Qin Emperor drive by. The lamb was trembling, and he was trembling too.

Revenge for the country's subjugation? Can he replace it? Is this what a man should do? If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight?

Xiong Xin didn't dare to have these thoughts at all.

He was originally a lamb who was lucky enough to survive from the mouths of tigers and wolves. He went into exile and hid his surname so that no one could know it!

Because Xiong Xin is from the Chu King’s family, the heir to the youngest son of Chu Huai King Xiong Huai, and a serious grandson of the Chu King! Although he is young, he has high seniority. Lord Changping and King Chu have to call him "uncle"...

If his identity is exposed, he will not die, but he will probably be forcibly moved to Guanzhong and become a prisoner like his grandfather King Huai of Chu.

But the irony is that fate played a big joke on Xiong Xin. The Banyi he sought refuge with was, by chance, chosen by a Qin official and immigrated to guard the border!

There was no way to escape, so Xiong Xin followed Ban Yi and traveled thousands of miles to Daibei Loufan County. The princes and grandsons who used to be well-dressed and well-fed are now reduced to sheepherders living with Rong Di...

The desperate Xiong Xin didn't know that without Hei Fu's advice, he wouldn't have had to go through this trouble.

The wings of the black butterfly are dancing gracefully, and the wind blowing is getting stronger and stronger. History has not only taken a small turn, but many details have also deviated from the original route...

What can Xiong Xin do? The trembling little boy holding the lamb in his arms could only remember the words of warning from the elder who worked so hard to find him, help him change his appearance, and entrust him to Ban Yi's family:

That's what the elder named "Fan Zeng" said to him.

"A gentleman hides his weapon in his body and waits for the time to move!"
