Chapter 5 The third time I saw the first emperor in the capital city to test his sharpness and worship General Xiao to travel all over the world

Meeting the emperor by chance, Meng Tian said with clear thinking: No matter how small a country's affairs are, it is still a big one. He is willing to start from the bottom, which made the first emperor appreciate this young man who did not want to be sheltered by his ancestors.On the front line of Jingchu, sharpen your fighting spirit; Feiliu seizes the city, pulls out the skill of destroying Qitou, and people all over the world know the real hero.The country is united and wealth comes first, but he led his troops to aspire to the northern border, and asked Kyushu quietly; surveyed the southern border and the northern kingdom, and searched for the plan to stabilize the country.

Gold will always shine.At the age of eighteen, Meng Tian finished his studies in the public school. "Tian is diligent in learning and quick in work. He has great ambitions when he is young, and he will become a great tool in the future..." This is the comment written by the old man himself.In the written examination for recruiting talents, Meng Tian was admitted to a county government in the suburbs of Beijing and became a prison officer in charge of relevant documents and prison complaint files.Meng Tian's role is insignificant, but to the surprise of the people around him, Meng Tian became famous in their indifference.However, before that, Meng Wu and Meng Tian, ​​who had just entered the officialdom, were busy for a while, that is, visiting the corresponding supervisors.The highest level even paid a visit to Li Si, when Li Si was still a Ting Wei, Meng Wu said some words of praise for Li Si very politely.Meng Wu also really admired Li Si's famous article "Remonstrance and Chasing Guest Order", not only his courage, but also his literary talent.Li Si was very excited by Meng Wu's boast, and Li Si said complacently: "General Meng has a great reputation, no problem. The grandson of old General Meng Ao must not be bad."

After the court ended that day, Meng Wu still took Meng Tian to visit some people.At this moment, a group of people knelt down and paid respects to the emperor. Seeing this, Meng Wu hurriedly kowtowed: "I bow down to the emperor." Ying Zheng smiled and said: "Everyone loves you! I just walk around casually." Ying Zheng I know that the others are all ministers who have just left the court, only Meng Wu has been recuperating at home recently, so there must be other things to come here this time.So he pretended to be sympathetic to the minister and asked, "Why, Meng Aiqing has recovered from his illness?"

Meng Wu didn't know how to lie and didn't dare to lie. Everyone else had already got up, but he was still prostrate on the ground, and said very euphemistically: "Reporting to the emperor, I am much better after taking the decoction given by the emperor. Today, the dog son of the minister He is about to work in the Yamen, and he said that he has never seen my beautiful and magnificent palace, so I take the liberty to bring him to watch it." Ying Zheng looked at the submissive Meng Wu with great interest, and said bluntly: "I'm afraid It’s not just to see the gorgeous palace, right?” Ying Zheng had already guessed Meng Wu’s intentions, and then said: “Meng Wu, you also know the country’s employment system, so don’t make it difficult for Mr. Tingwei, gold will always shine , as long as the individual is strong, the country will not bury him. Hey, why don’t you see your son? I am still very good at meeting people. Ah, call him quickly, and I will take a look.” Ying Zheng smiled but was very urgent look.Sweat dripped from Meng Wu's forehead, and he hurriedly said: "The dog is waiting outside the palace gate..." He trotted all the way and pulled Meng Tian in front of Ying Zheng, who then knelt down and kowtowed to Ying Zheng: "The grassman Meng Tian kowtows to the emperor! "His demeanor is gentle and gentle, and he also has the demeanor of a sergeant.Ying Zheng thought to himself, he really deserves to be the queen. "Raise your head." Ying Zheng carefully looked at the young man in front of him.Meng Tian raised his head slightly, and what appeared in front of Ying Zheng was a young man with extraordinary bearing: he had a broad forehead, and his manner was generous, courteous and well-behaved.Yingzheng liked it very much at the moment, so he tentatively asked: "I heard that you have not only studied martial arts, but also mastered the criminal laws of prisons. If you are now asked to be a commander-in-chief or a county magistrate, what can you do?" We are all waiting to see how this fledgling boy will answer, and whether he will make some jokes.Meng Tian embraced and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Meng Tian knows that he has little talent and learning, and he should start from the lowest level when he first debuted. Only by mastering the tedious procedures of administrative affairs and familiar with the trial procedures of national cases, can he be able to do a job with ease in the future and live up to the emperor's respect. The trust of villains. If you start from the top at one time, there will inevitably be a disconnect at the bottom, and there will inevitably be mistakes in the main functions. Therefore, the emperor said that the commander, the county magistrate, etc., Mengtian does not know what is good and bad, and is not competent. "

"Hahaha..." Ying Zheng couldn't help laughing, "Okay! What I want is an honest young man like you. Seek truth from facts, and don't want to rely on your own hard work and struggle under the shadow of your ancestors. With thoughts, ambitions, and clear thinking, the future must be limitless. I will remember you." After speaking, he patted Meng Tian on the head, turned and left. On the outskirts of the capital, a county closest to the urban area, belongs to the Kyoto Naishi Prefecture. The county lieutenant looked at the new prison officer, didn't even bother to raise his head, and asked, "Is he new here?" Meng Tian clasped his fists at each other, bowed to his superior, and said, "Little Meng Tian pays tribute to the county lieutenant!" The county lieutenant said casually: "The room in the back row of the backyard, you and Lao Ye will make do with the office business first."

"Oh, I got it." Meng Tian was about to turn around and leave with a few books and the usual office supplies, when the county captain said again: "Hey, you haven't told me your name..." Meng Tian said politely: " Sir, I have already told you, my name is Meng Tian, ​​you will remember." "Hmm..." The county lieutenant replied in astonishment, not quite understanding the meaning of the young man's soft but hard words. Lao Ye's room was very messy. It turned out that he was only driving the carriage for the county captain.Old Ye Wen heard that he was here to be his company, and said happily, "I'm finally looking forward to you! I know, it's all for my sake. Young man, please tidy up this room quickly." Since the future I have to work here every day, so I must ensure the cleanliness and hygiene here.Without further ado, Meng Tian tidied up the house for a while, but the uninterested old Ye kept crossing his legs, enjoying the temporary happiness leisurely.

One day, the county government was trying to handle the case.At this time, a man and a woman walked up from the stage. The man was in his fifties and had no shame. When he saw the officials of the county government, he nodded and bowed. He knew that he was an aristocrat just by looking at his clothes. The woman was only in her twenties, although she was still handsome , but with a sad look on his face, Meng Tian couldn't figure out the identity of the two for the time being.The man stared at the county magistrate, wanting to get some acquiescence, the county magistrate quickly gave the man a wink, this detail was just caught by Meng Tian.Meng Tian concluded that the case would definitely be one-sided, and the woman would suffer.

The county magistrate first asked the man to state his reasons.The guy first declared that the woman was his domestic slave and had committed the crime of bullying and theft, and asked the county magistrate to punish her severely.It was time for the woman to make a statement, but the shrewd county magistrate directly asked the man: "Do you have any other requirements, such as a workaround to avoid punishment?" The man hurriedly said: "She just needs to be honest Be my concubine, we will settle the matter, and we will not pursue it." The county magistrate asked the woman: "Girl, would you like it?"

"Never!" the woman said firmly, hating the man.The county magistrate slapped the gavel: "Bold! As a slave, you should be guilty of a capital crime." The woman calmly raised her head and looked up at the county magistrate: "Master, if I am not his slave, I am not considered a criminal." .Why don't you listen to my statement?" "You, you must obey this county magistrate's sentence..." The county magistrate began to be unreasonable. "Then please ask the county magistrate to sentence Minnv to death. Minnv would rather die than marry this pig and dog!"

"This county magistrate cannot let you... pronounce the sentence." "Wait a minute!" Meng Tian responded at the right time, looking at the county magistrate.The entire county government was shocked.The county magistrate asked displeasedly: "Meng Tian, ​​what's the matter with you?" Meng Tian said: "I implore the woman to state the whole story..." The county magistrate became angry when he heard this: "Meng Tian, ​​let's do your job well! You What qualifications do you have to take charge of this matter? Who do you think you are." Meng Tian argued hard: "How could it not be my business? My lord, does the female client’s statement make it vacant, or is there any way to make it up?” The county magistrate became furious: “Don’t ask me, this is your business…” Meng Tian said every word: “This is related to the whole case, and it is also You are presiding over this case. Your Excellency, please think twice." Everyone knows these principles, but no one has ever followed them.After being reminded by Meng Tian, ​​no one dared to make mistakes, and the county magistrate had no choice but to sit down obediently and listen to the woman explain the process.

It turned out that the process of the matter was like this: when the girl was still a baby, her family suffered a catastrophe, and her relatives died one after another, so a kind person sent the girl to Chaifu.The man's wife was alive at the time and was a kind person, so he took care of the woman seriously and loved her even more.The year before last, the hostess died, and the man saw that the woman was beautiful, so he pestered her to marry him.The woman refused, pleading that we have the relationship between father and daughter first, so we can't do such dirty things.But the man raped her anyway.This woman looks weak, but her character is very strong, unwilling to suffer such humiliation, she sued the county government... The county magistrate who accepted the bribe pronounced the verdict: "Sentence, the woman recognizes the marriage relationship with the man, and she is the housewife of the Chai Mansion." The woman obviously refused to accept the verdict, and said hoarsely: "If the woman refuses to accept it, I would rather die than marry this man." Beast." She looked at Meng Tian with tears in her eyes, hoping that he could help her get justice.The magistrate's gavel knocked loudly on the mountain, but he couldn't deter the woman.There was a group of spectators around the door, Tolerance drove them away several times but failed, everyone insisted on watching how the case will be judged.The county magistrate was a little scared, so he turned to the man: "Why don't you forget about this marriage?" He wanted to mediate. "No!" The man was so decisive that the county magistrate was taken aback.Eat people soft-spoken, otherwise why would that guy dare to stand up in front of the county magistrate.The county magistrate said with a sad face: "She refuses to obey, what should I do?" The man thought about it, but then threatened: "It's okay if she refuses to obey, then I will return the cost of raising her for 20 years." The woman also had a sad face when she heard this, and she didn't even have any energy.The county magistrate took the opportunity to persuade the woman: "You still obey him?" Suddenly, the woman got up and was about to hit the pillars in the hall, but was hugged by the post, and she kept crying... This was a small court in the outskirts of the capital, and the people outside the gate pointed at the man and cursed: "It's not as good as a beast, you still have the face to ask for such a condition." "It would be great for such a good daughter to give you a pension, but you ruined it." "The county magistrate is not a good thing, look at him, he dare not do it because he has something in his heart..." "It's better to let the newcomer come to interrogate him. That person is upright." The county magistrate was ashamed of what he said, so he said to Meng Tian: "You can just figure it out..." Before he finished speaking, he got up and walked out of the hall , he was obviously going to run away.The man was so anxious that he wanted to catch up, but was stopped by the tolerance: "Hey, you can't go..." Meng Tian didn't go to the trial seat either, he just said casually: "You mean to ask her to settle the losses for you for so many years?" The man nodded: "If you owe money to someone, it should be returned as a matter of course." Meng Tian said unhurriedly: " Okay, I support you too, otherwise, it will not show the fairness of the law. Calculate carefully, how much money do you need?" The man thought for a while, and then said a large number, which surprised everyone who heard it. The lion opened its mouth wide.Meng Tian was not surprised, smiled faintly, and said, "Your little money is too worthless. Let me ask you, do you know how much a girl's chastity is worth?" The man shook his head in confusion.Meng Tian said: "That is priceless. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is priceless, do you understand?" This time it was the man's turn to be surprised, and he couldn't close his mouth for a long time.Meng Tian slapped the bamboo slips on the ground, and reprimanded: "You really let the people outside scold you right, they are not as good as beasts, and you are shameless. You have a lot of wives and concubines in your family, and you are not satisfied. You insist on ruining your father who has been calling you for twenty years. Your daughter. You still have the face to shout at the court, what is the reason? Tolerance, pull me down, hit fifty sticks first, and peel off his human skin." The woman was so excited that she knelt down to Meng Tian on the spot, and said with tears in her eyes: "Your Excellency has avenged the little girl, and the little girl can't repay her. Why don't you let the little girl come to your house as a servant?" Meng Tian hurriedly picked up the girl: "It's absolutely impossible, it's all a matter of duty, so there is no need to say thanks." The woman insisted on not being able to do so, but still said sadly: "If you don't even give me a chance to repay you, what is the future for my little girl?" Meng Tian thought about it "You are already an adult, you can make a living by yourself, be a self-sufficient laborer, and marry a good man in the future, what do you think?" The woman was very grateful when she heard this, and thanked her: "Thank you for your kindness. The little girl will never die. Pay back, if you dare to ask the name of the adult, the little girl will come to thank you in the future..." "No, no. But you can know my official name and surname. My surname is Meng, and my first name is Tian. If you need anything, you can come to the county government directly to find me." The county lieutenant hid in the ranks of ordinary people and watched the whole process of Meng Tian's trial. It was really difficult!I thought to myself, what is the background of this kid?When he found out that Meng Tian was the grandson of the general Meng Ao, he couldn't help being shocked, but when he also knew that Meng Wu was a wimp, he thought that he should not be afraid of him, and he could punish this kid if he had the chance.Meng Tian's independent trial of the case has already alarmed the internal history of the Neishifu, and the news soon reached Yingzheng's ears.Everyone was optimistic about Meng Tian, ​​and congratulated the county lieutenant over and over again, congratulating him on being honored to be a talented person in the world.The county lieutenant just hummed lightly and walked back to his territory in the suburbs of Beijing silently.Soon, a transfer order came from above, and he was promoted to the county lieutenant as the head of the capital's internal history office.The county lieutenant was overjoyed.Subsequently, the order to appoint Meng Tian as county lieutenant has also been issued. Qin's employment mechanism is flexible, and promotion opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared and talented.After Meng Tian was promoted to county lieutenant as the youngest official, it took only ten days to complete the trial of the cases accumulated by his predecessor.Immediately afterwards, he took measures to clean up the discipline of cadres, improve the efficiency of work, and improve the quality of cadres.Less than half a year after Meng Tian took office, the county government took a turn for the better.Meng Tian's shot was very beautiful, and his talent and character were passed to King Qin Yingzheng once again.It's not a day or two for Ying Zheng to pay attention to this young man. Ying Zheng still adheres to the legacy of his ancestors. He must go to the recruiting hall once every half a month. Most of them are to visit talented people from all over the world who live there, and discuss with them the "theory of strengthening the country" that he has always admired at that time.The more direct purpose is that he wants to draw a grand blueprint for the highly centralized power of the Great Qin Empire by himself and in advance. One day, Qin Wang Yingzheng specially named Li Xin, Wang Ben, Meng Tian and other young talents to gather in the recruiting hall.Everyone didn't know what to do, and came to the recruitment hall early to wait for King Qin Yingzheng. Meng Tian first met Li Xin and Wang Ben, who were already famous for a while.Li Xin is not only suave and romantic, but also shows his contempt for other people, especially those guests from other countries. In his eyes, these people are unreliable.Li Xin was very satisfied with Meng Tian's sincere attitude.After all, he is a descendant of veteran Meng Ao, and he has heard many rumors about Meng Tian.Meng Tian was very modest, and politely stepped forward to salute: "General Li, General Wang, the junior Meng Tian is being polite here." "Hey, this is Mengxian Lieutenant who is well-known in Kyoto! He is really young and handsome, and he is promising." Li Xin and Wang Ben had a very good impression of Meng Tian.Li Xin took the initiative to step forward and patted Meng Tian on the shoulder: "Little brother, I heard that you have studied the military and the art of war, and I really want to see it." Several people were exchanging greetings when they suddenly heard: "The emperor is here—" Everyone knelt down One piece, knelt down to Qin Wang Yingzheng and bowed: "Welcome to the emperor!" "Everyone is in peace!" Ying Zheng turned his eyes to the young talents of Qin Guo, with great interest, "Oh! Li Xin, Wang Ben, Meng Tian, ​​you three are here. Very good, very good! " "Thank you for your majesty's concern!" Meng Tian stepped forward to salute, Li Xin and Wang Ben did not dare to neglect, and saluted separately. Yingzheng greeted everyone to be seated, and said straight to the point: "The ancients said: 'The talent of the temple is not covered by a branch of a tree; the fur of pure white is not covered by the skin of a fox; Strength'. This is indeed a wise saying. Over the years, the widow has indeed worked hard in this area, knowing that as long as you win talents, you will win the world, but when you implement it, you still feel that there are not enough talents. Could it be that I, Daqin, have not yet Get more useful talents?" Li Xin stood up immediately and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the important thing is not the number of talents, the war should be based on military attack, and the war cannot be won by talking." Qin Wang Yingzheng just smiled and did not answer, but after a while he asked very implicitly: "Do you have any different opinions? Meng Tian, ​​what do you think?" Meng Tian bowed and said humbly: "Tian has little talent and learning, so he dare not judge rashly. However, I still agree with what is said in the "Unified Policy". First, when looking at the world, we should choose a good time, decide on the order, and use our powerful military power to solve them one by one; Combined with tricks, use tricks to alienate the princes and ministers of the opponent first, so that they will collapse from the inside. At this time, even with a small amount of troops, the opponent can be wiped out." Qin Wang Yingzheng said with great interest: "Oh, it seems that Meng Tian is Are you familiar with "Unified Policy"?" Meng Tian replied modestly: "I just understand the meaning of it." Ying Zheng was very interested in Meng Tian's words today, and continued to say: "Here, Meng Tian, ​​can you analyze "Unified Policy" in detail? What is the deep connotation to be expressed?" Meng Tian stood up and replied: "The so-called strategy of unifying the world has two main points. One is to develop production internally to make the country rich and the people stronger; the other is to renovate the military and appoint strong generals externally. Sheng Zeng once said that there is only one sentence in the heart of an art of war, and the rest are slack, that is, "the right is more helpful than the wrong". As long as it is a just war, it will definitely be supported by the people of the world and will be successful. The Qin State has implemented it since Since the reform, it has been longed for by the people all over the world, so unification is the common wish of the people all over the world, and this way is the great way.” Qin Wang Yingzheng asked happily: "Meng Tian, ​​if the country needs you to join the army and dedicate yourself to the battlefield, what do you want to do?" Meng Tian said generously: "The unification war is the greatest and most urgent event in the world today. , Meng Tian will be obliged to join the army, willing to be a pawn in the army, please allow your majesty!" Ying Zheng laughed heartily: "Okay! I will accept your request. Li Xin, how about letting Meng Tian be your deputy general?" "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the fulfillment!" Montana bowed his head again.Li Xin readily accepted: "According to the emperor's arrangement." A few days later, King Qin Yingzheng issued an edict: Li Xin will be the main general to defeat Chu, and Meng Tian will be the deputy general.Li Xin led an army of 200,000 troops and set off from Xianyang to Zhidu.The all-powerful good generals, their good strategies, wisdom, and their martial arts and martial arts are related to the fate of Qin. The trust of Qin Wang Yingzheng made Li Xin feel elated and arrogant, but his opponent happened to be Xiang Yan, a veteran of the Chu State who had fought all his life.The West Route army led by Li Xin succeeded all the way, and successively captured more than ten cities in Chu State, which further aroused his domineering nature. As the deputy general, Meng Tian led the army to fight on the east road, but he always paid attention to the overall battle situation of the two armies.He found that it was too easy for the West Route Army to conquer the more than ten cities, so he sent a messenger to the chief general Li Xin to send the situation of the East Route and his worries about the West Route.After reading Meng Tian's analysis of the battle situation, Li Xin smiled, and said to himself: Really, at the beginning of the war, he was so tied up, what will he do in the future!Then he wrote: "The battle situation is already very clear... You should try to seize the opportunity and prepare for the two armies to join forces!" How could Meng Tian give up his feelings so easily, so he quickly wrote a second letter to Li Xin, Further discuss the battle situation with Li Xin.Li Xin was already a little annoyed, but because of his feelings, he patiently explained: "...our army covered them up and killed them, but we didn't catch them. It seems that they are Xiang Yan's specially reserved troops for escort." The courier to the eastern front delivered a special letter of war to Li Xin's desk. It turned out to be a letter of war from the enemy general Xiang Yan.The letter wrote: "General Li, are you too greedy! You have taken more than ten cities from me, are you still not satisfied? When did our Chu State bully your Qin State like this? Tell you clearly, don't push people into a hurry Wherever you go, be careful of being wiped out..." Li Xin laughed heartily after reading the letter: "Look, the old thing still scares people." Then he wrote: "General Xiang, if you really know the current affairs Or, just lead the army to surrender! Otherwise, you choose a place, and you and I will make a decision. Why bother to run so timidly." Xiang Yan never replied again.In addition to closely monitoring Xiang Yan's movements, Li Xin is also preparing to join forces with Meng Tian of the Eastern Route Army.He wrote to Meng Tian in time, indicating that his previous decision to join forces remained unchanged.Meng Tian wrote back in time, urging him not to act impulsively. Now that the West Route Army has penetrated deep into the hinterland of Chu State, its danger has increased accordingly.At the same time, he advised him not to go to battle lightly, even if he had to go to battle, he had to divide his troops into two, the two armies were at least fifty miles apart, and he was ready to rescue each other at any time.Li Xin was disgusted by Meng Tian's exhortation letter, so he simply turned a deaf ear to it and ordered the troops to attack.Before he had gone far, he came to report: The main force of the Chu army has caught up!Li Xin was very surprised, how could the Chu army appear behind him?Now he really felt that the situation was not good, and before he had time to take any measures, suddenly, a report came from the front: Hundreds of thousands of Chu troops were intercepting in front of our army, forming a pincer attack with the Chu troops behind... As a result, Li Xin His army was smashed to pieces by the Chu army, so he had to break through the enemy's formation forcefully and join forces with Meng Tian.And what's the point of such a meeting!When the news reached Qin, the court was in an uproar. This is a turning point, a passionate era.The wheels of history have passed, and the leftover gullies are full of vicissitudes, marking the difficulties of Qin's development.After Chu's demise, only Qi was left to stand against Qiang Qin.In the first month of the twenty-sixth year of Yingzheng, the Qin Dynasty was about to carry out its final lore.Mobilized before the war, in addition to sending minister Wang Wan as a lobbyist first to go to Qi to foreign countries, the king of Qin organized the most powerful expedition team at that time, waiting for news from Wang Wan.The general who went to Qi State was Wang Ben, followed by Li Xin, Meng Tian and other generals. It was early spring, when the earth was warming up and the glaciers were thawing. "Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet", the river is clear and lingling, pouring down towards the northeast.After more than two months of long-distance combat, Wang Ben and other generals led the expedition team across the northern rockery and saw the endless wilderness and grassland.The Donghu people and the Qin army on the grassland are only separated by a small river, grazing their herds leisurely.Those soldiers with scimitars seemed to ignore Qin Jun, patrolled across the river, and leaped away.Meng Tian also learned that these Hu people held an autumn meeting every year, and during the autumn meeting, they needed to buy the special products offered by Shan Yu, and almost all of them went deep into the land of Yan and Zhao to plunder.Meng Tian understood in his heart: Even if the six countries in the Central Plains were unified, the barbarians dominating the north were still threatening Qin.It seems that scholars have to be ambitious, and there is a long way to go!He stood in front of the map of the North and thought about it for a long time.He knew that after the victory of the attack on Qi, the Hu people in northern Xinjiang would definitely become old enemies threatening the country's security. Therefore, he was already collecting some information about the Hu people during the preparations for the attack on Qi. Wang Wan failed to lobby Qi, and the war against Qi finally started.Meng Tian was ordered to march from the north road to Linzi, the capital of Qi, Li Xin was in charge of the south road, and Wang Ben was in charge of the middle road.The armies of the three routes marched hand in hand, with a mighty voice, and the drums of war were beating.The vast land, the mighty army.Meng Tian led his army straight to the bank of Jishui River, boarded the warships that had been prepared and went down the river, and approached the head of Linzi City.However, the other two teams that had to cross the mountains lost contact with Meng Tian's troops for a while, because they didn't know the exact location of Meng Tian's troops, which made the chief general Wang Ben very annoyed. At this time, Meng Tian led his army to attack one of the three cities of Linzi with lightning speed, and then sent envoys to send the battle report separately.The people of Qi, who have been at ease for a long time, never thought that Qin's army would succeed from the waterway like a natural moat.They are still standing on the front land with 200,000 troops.As if Qin soldiers descended from the sky, the Qi army panicked immediately. The black brocade-rimmed banner of Qin State fluttered from the left wing of one of the three cities of Linzi, looking mighty.Meng Tian disembarked from the Jishui boat and took over the top of the city in less than an hour. He completed this feat of flying and capturing the city, and took the lead for the Qin army.At this time, the weather was getting dark, and seeing that the backup army hadn't arrived, Meng Tian gave an order: "clean up the remnants of the enemy in the city as soon as possible, and all the ministries will strictly defend, waiting for the other two Qin armies." Lieutenants Zhao Gang and Tian Huo took the order and left. Meng Tian stood at the head of the city, closely observing the movement of the Qi army at the other two city heads of Linzi.Meng Tian intentionally chatted loudly with the front emissary who came to report: "Where have the other two armies gone?" "Report to the commander, the Central Route Army is approaching the outskirts of Linzi; the South Route Army has also detoured 30 miles away from Linzi, and it is estimated that they will gather under the city of Linzi in less than two hours." "Okay! Immediately go forward and pass it on, saying that our army has firmly controlled the top of the city, and they can go all out to attack the second city. Pay attention to vigilance, and report again!" "Decree!" The envoy galloped away.All of this was fully understood by the Qi army in disguise. After a while, the Qi army who was about to organize a counterattack suddenly canceled the siege plan.Meng Tian saw it in his eyes and was delighted in his heart.He knows his current situation better than anyone else: the army of Wang Ben and Li Xin will not approach the city at least today.He had to take a lot of risks in this move, and it was also a rare feat of Qin Jun. At night, Meng Tian, ​​who was standing alone at the top of the city, looked at the lights of the other two cities, filled with emotion.But the fact in front of him is that the Qi army can only be deceived for a while, not forever.At daybreak, the Qi army knew that they had been fooled, and they would go all out to attack the city. What should we do?This is what Meng Tian is worried about at this time.In this way, it was not until the dawn of the next day that the real vanguard of the reinforcements arrived, and Meng Tian's troops did not suffer any losses.The chief general, Wang Ben, didn't take Meng Tian's rash attack seriously, and criticized him, saying: "How can you go deep alone? If unfortunately you are defeated by the Qi army, wouldn't it mess up our overall plan?" Meng Tian replied: "A soldier's speed is very important. I just want to seize the initiative in the war, and it just so happens that Jihe has provided us with all of this, if we don’t take advantage of it, we will miss the opportunity..." At first Li Xin wanted to keep silent, but he had to say a few words for Meng Tian , because if he had listened to Meng Tian during the war against Chu, he would not have been able to... Therefore, Li Dao said: "Although you are the commander in chief, I think that the Qi army is not the Chu army, and the Qi state is not the Chu state. Brother Meng Tian's The fighter plane was captured well, first of all we put the initiative in our hands. Don’t blame him too much, let’s hurry up and see how to attack the city.” Seeing what Li Xin said, Wang Ben had no choice but to decide: "Let's attack the city with all our strength while our army is strong..." Meng Tian hurriedly said: "Wait a minute..." "What strange trick did you come up with?" Wang Ben was very unhappy, and there was a hint of jealousy.Meng Tian said calmly: "The law of war says: don't fight the soldiers who subdue others. Judging from the current situation, the whole country of Qi has lost their fighting spirit, and the monarchs, ministers and people have already seen the end of the war clearly. If our army understands the advantages and disadvantages and persuades them to surrender, then the whole country will be unified. The war can be ended as soon as possible, and the people can be protected from disaster, so why not do it?!" "That's a good idea!" Before Wang Ben could express his opinion, Li Xin first agreed.Wang Ben had no choice but to say: "Then act according to your opinion!" Under Meng Tian's insistence, the Qin army sent an eloquent counselor into the city to negotiate with the king of Qi.And the Qin army besieging the capital under the city continued to create some illusions of siege, making thunderous shouts of killing.The prestige of internal and external attacks, coupled with the "separation" of the prime minister of Qi's successor, the king of Qi had to leave the city and surrender in tears... Meng Tian seized the opportunity, gained the initiative in the battle against Qi, and controlled the entire battle. The Qi war ended prematurely.This successful ending of the unification of the six kingdoms was unexpected by Qin Wang Yingzheng, so Qin Wang paid more attention to Meng Tian. The chariot of the Great Qin Empire has taken up all the glory of the seven kingdoms vying for supremacy; overcoming obstacles and obstacles, heroes emerged in large numbers, and the thirty-nine-year-old King Yingzheng of Qin finally realized his long-cherished wish of unifying the world.Cleansing away the decay, sprouting new shoots, the Great Qin Empire with gold and iron horses, since then began the history of China's emperors.The first emperor, unified writing, unified weights and measures, and named all heroes and generals.The generation of famous generals who made outstanding contributions in the unification of the Six Kingdoms War were not only bestowed with titles, but also with mansions, lands, and wealth. Meng Tian sealed the carriage bestowed by the emperor in the backyard of the Meng mansion, and did not allow others to use it.He only reserved one hectare of those fields, and gave the rest to the tribal generals who had been injured in battles with their grandfather and father and had no livelihood.As for the gold and silver treasures, except for a part that is reserved for family expenses, the rest is distributed to those old Qin soldiers who have been wounded in battle and returned home.The Meng Mansion does not show the appearance of extreme glory at all, and it is a world of difference compared with other mansions with illustrious military exploits.

However, the Hu people in Yanbei are oppressive and eyeing the tiger, and the peace of the country is only temporary. I want to take the initiative to invite Ying to go to Shangjun to guard the northern border. Mother, you see ..." The mother still said peacefully: "Go! The man's ambition is everywhere. You Meng family men are born to belong to the country, why should you be so narrow-minded as a mother!" Meng Tian knelt down happily and kowtowed to his mother: "Thank you Mother understands the child!" Then she bowed to her younger brother Meng Yi: "Then I will thank my younger brother to take care of my mother for me, which is a perfect filial piety." "What are you talking about brother! Isn't this my home, my mother..." Meng Tian took the initiative to ask Ying to go to Shangjun to guard the northern border, Shihuang agreed, and said with great emotion: "It is rare in the whole world to have such a person who does not aspire to wealth..."
