Chapter 62 The role of thieves

That is, in the winter of 299 BC, Mr. Mengchang finally couldn't stand the repeated invitation of King Qin Zhao, and brought dozens of his followers to visit Qin. King Zhao of Qin invited Meng Changjun to join Qin again and again. Of course, he not only wanted to see him, but also wanted him to be used by Qin State to fundamentally disintegrate the alliance of Qi, Wei, and Han.Therefore, as soon as Meng Changjun arrived in Xianyang, he was warmly received by King Qin Zhao, and received a generous gift from King Qin Zhao-the Prime Minister of Qin State. King Qin Zhao said: "As long as you are willing to stay, you will be the prime minister of Qin."

But not long after, King Qin Zhao ordered someone to take Xiangyin back. It turned out that King Zhao Wuling heard that King Qin Zhao wanted to make Lord Mengchang his prime minister. He was worried that Qi and Qin would get too close from now on, which would be detrimental to Zhao State. : "Tian Wen is a hero of the time, and he is also the royal family of Qi State. Even if he is the Prime Minister of Qin State, he still has Qi State in his heart. If he thinks about Qi State first, Qin State will be in danger. " Mr. Mengchang didn't want to be the prime minister of Qin State at first, and he didn't have any dislike for King Qin Zhao's ups and downs, but the problem is that things are not that simple.At that time, King Wei Hui did not use Shang Yang, nor did he kill Shang Yang, so that Shang Yang was used by the Qin State, which eventually became a major problem for the Wei State. Of course, King Qin Zhao would not be ignorant of such historical experience.Since he didn't use Lord Mengchang and didn't want Lord Mengchang to continue to be used by Qi, he considered killing him.

When Meng Changjun realized that the danger was coming, King Qin Zhao had already sent troops to guard the passages in Xianyang, and arranged heavy guards around his residence.According to this situation, it was impossible to escape, so he had no choice but to follow Zhang Yi's old path and send someone to secretly find King Qin Zhao's favorite concubine, Xing Ji, and ask her to blow some air by his pillow to make King Qin Zhao change his mind. At the critical moment, we still have to rely on women! Xing Ji was also very straightforward, and agreed to Mr. Mengchang's request, but said: She has long taken a fancy to Mr. Mengchang's white fox fur coat. If Mr. Mengchang can give the coat to her, then things will be easier.

Meng Changjun was dumbfounded all of a sudden.He has such a coat, which is priceless and unparalleled in the world, but he has given it to King Qin Zhao not long ago, and there is no other white fox fur coat in the world. He called the doormen together, and when he explained the situation, everyone lowered their heads and remained silent.Everyone knows that this matter is not easy to handle.It's not that it's difficult to do, but it's impossible to do it at all.Jun Mengchang endured it for a long time before he swallowed a sentence: Usually you are pampered and pampered, but at the critical moment, no one can help?

There is a low-class diner whose name is not recorded in the historical materials, so let's call him a dog leftover.Gou Sheng was originally a man in the market, but because he stole a dog from a rich family and was hunted down, he fled to the home of Mr. Mengchang.It is conceivable that even among the low-class disciples, he is still a low-level figure, and everyone usually does not look at him directly.At this time, Gou Sheng took the initiative to stand up and said that he could steal the white fox fur coat. That night, Gou Sheng changed into night clothes, used his skill of stealing dogs in Qi country, sneaked into the palace, and took back the white fox fur coat from the warehouse.

To make a digression, with such ability, even taking the head of King Qin is not difficult. The so-called ability of inferior people should not be underestimated! Lord Mengchang ordered someone to wrap the white fox fur coat and present it to Xingji in the palace.As expected, Xing Ji pleaded with King Qin Zhao. King Qin Zhao couldn't stand the beauty's entanglement, so he gave an order to Wei Ya who guarded Xianyang, asking him to withdraw the defenders around Mengchang Jun's residence and let him go back to the country. Jun Mengchang lost his life, but he didn't say goodbye, and ran all the way with his followers.Depart from Xianyang in the morning and arrive at Hangu Pass in the middle of the night.

At dusk that day, King Qin Zhao had also come to his senses. He sent people to Meng Changjun's residence to inquire, and found that the man had gone to the empty building. Knowing that he was deceived, he ordered the blockade of roads across the country, and sent the elite guards in the palace to chase after him at Hangu Pass. . Hangu Pass and Wuguan Pass are the fortresses for the Qin State to leave the pass. The terrain is dangerous and heavily guarded.Among them, Hangu Pass is in the north, connecting Luoyi and South Korea; Wuguan is in the south, connecting Wancheng and Chu State.Lord Mengchang wanted to return to Qi State, and Hangu Pass was the nearest place he must pass through.

According to the laws of the State of Qin, Hangu Pass is not opened until after the cock crows. Lord Mengchang knew that if the rooster crowed at dawn, King Qin's pursuers would catch up and it would be difficult to fly.When he was anxious, a doorman pinched his nose and imitated a few rooster crows at the top of his voice.After a while, all the roosters in Hangu Pass crowed.The soldier guarding the gate rubbed his sleepy eyes and opened and closed the gate.Meng Changjun and his party quickly passed Hangu Pass and left the border of Qin State smoothly. This doorman, like Gousheng, is the inferior of the inferior.When Mr. Mengchang took them in, everyone was puzzled. Unexpectedly, at the most critical moment, these two gangsters played a role and saved Mr. Mengchang's life.

It can be seen from this that only the division of labor is different in work, and there is no distinction between high and low. As long as there is a specialization in the art, diaosi will also be useful. It is said that Lord Mengchang passed by the State of Zhao on his way back home, was warmly received by Lord Pingyuan Zhao Sheng, and sent escorts along the way.When passing through a certain county, the local people came out to watch, and everyone laughed when they saw Mr. Mengchang: "I heard that Mr. Mengchang is a great husband, but he is just a small man!" Meng Changjun, who has always been mild-tempered, was furious.The men sent by Mr. Pingyuan and his retainers immediately drew their weapons, jumped out of the carriage, rushed into the crowd and hacked and killed hundreds of people on the spot, "then wiped out a county."

Scholars can be killed, but not humiliated.Napoleon had a saying: Whoever dares to laugh at my short man, I will cut off his head to equalize!
