Chapter 54 In the second quarter, Zhao Shehao said that the brave wins in the dangerous and narrow fight

The news of the Qin army's rapid eastward departure reached Handan. Although Zhao Guojun and his ministers were surprised, they did not panic.In the minds of Zhao Guojun and ministers, they are very clear about the stakes of annihilating Zhongshan, so for many years they have only been encroaching on Zhongshan instead of engaging in a war of annihilating the country.So far, there are only less than ten cities and less than five hundred miles away in the Zhongshan Kingdom, and Zhao Guocai decided to destroy them in one fell swoop.Before sending troops, Huiwen King Zhao He was worried about Qin sending troops, but several important ministers agreed that Qin's southern county was not safe, and Bai Qiyuan was in Yiling, so he would never send troops to attack Zhao.Zhao He thought about it and it made sense, Zhao Guo swallowed up Zhongshan in only a month, even if Bai Qi heard the news and went northward at night, and led the army on the road, I am afraid that Zhongshan Kingdom will disappear, then what will Qin do?But what surprised Zhao Guojun and his ministers was: Qin State did not use Bai Qi at all, nor did it use the whole country's army. It turned out that a general named Hu Shang led 80,000 cavalry to approach Yan Yu.

Yanhe is located in the mountains of the upper reaches of the Zhangshui River, south of Shangdang, South Korea, west of Lishi, Qin State, and more than 300 miles away from Handan in the southeast. It is the first dangerous pass in the west of Zhao State.After passing Yan and going down the Zhangshui River Valley for more than a hundred miles, there is the west gate of Handan - Wu'an Fortress.As soon as Wu'an passed, it was less than a hundred miles away from Handan, and the iron cavalry galloped, and it took an hour to reach the city.But this is the case, although this Yanyu is not big, it is an important throat that must not be given up. Even when the force is at its most critical, there are 20,000 elite infantry troops who are good at fighting in the mountains.Now that the Qin army is approaching Yanyu, it is obvious that they want to break the barrier of Zhao State and threaten Handan.

Just half an hour after the emergency military report came to Handan, the special envoy of King Huiwen left the palace in four ways: the first way went straight to the front of the Zhongshan Army, and informed the general of the army Le Xian about the military situation, and asked him to deal with it; Lu Fei went to Wu'an and urgently summoned veteran Lian Po to Handan; the third route left Handan northeast and went straight to Guanjin, and urgently summoned general Le Cheng;Zhao He believed that among these special envoys, one of them would be able to relieve Yan and his danger. The fundamental reason why Zhao Heqi is full of confidence is that Zhao Guo not only has more than 300,000 Hufu new troops, but also has many good generals.Fighting against the princes, there is not only the brave veteran Lian Po, but also the famous general Le Yi who lives in Guanjin and is known as Wang Zhujun, and his two sons who are also famous soldiers-Le Xian and Le Cheng. Mila's Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng, Fei Yi who has been in the army for a long time and is now the captain of the country, if you add Zhao Cheng, Zhao Wen, Zhao Zao, Zhao Jun, Zhao Gu, Zhao Ting and a group of new and old generals of the royal family, Zhao Ting will be the most powerful general. The country is simply a hotbed of famous generals.Among them, there are at least Le Yi, Lian Po, Zhao Sheng, Fei Yi, Le Xian, Le Cheng, and Zhao Cheng who can be called handsome talents who can stand on their own.However, unless the country is in danger of subjugation, a famous general like Le Yi should not be moved lightly, and Zhao Sheng, Zhao Cheng, and Fei Yi are all veterans over 60 years old, and they cannot go into battle at will .Those who can immediately respond to sudden crises are naturally the group of generals who are often in the army.Among the few generals, Le Xian led the army to attack Zhongshan, and the other two became the natural candidates to meet the Qin army.

When dusk fell, the nearest Lian Po rushed back to Handan first. This Lian Po is one of the wonders of the army in the world, and it is strange that the older he is, the more he sees his talents in battle.When he was in his forties, Lian Po was known to the princes for his bravery. Although he is sixty-five years old, he is still strong and ambitious, with a pair of snow-white beards hanging on his dark red face On the ground, the gait is like a bell, but immediately in front of the army, he is Heyue Taidai and unshakable.However, if it is only bravery, it is not enough to become a famous general in the world.The strangeness of Lian Po lies in the wonderful combination of the bravery of charging into battle and the stability of leading the army.In the world of the Warring States Period, he is the only one who enjoys the reputation of being the best in martial arts and the best in the world.

When the sound of heavy and hurried footsteps came from afar, King Huiwen laughed to himself.The sound of Lian Po's footsteps is always like a war drum. If you are sluggish and sleepy, you will suddenly cheer up when you hear the drumbeat.It was the same with Zhao He, he put down the "Picture of Yan and Guanshan" on his desk, and strode out to welcome him. "Old soldier Lian Po, meet my king!" Huang Zhong Da Lu suddenly dispersed when he was still under the nine stone steps.It is quite strange for Lian to call himself an old soldier without calling himself an old man or an old man.Zhao He laughed loudly: "Old general, this king is waiting for an empty table, please."

"My king please!" Lian Po bowed solemnly, and followed Zhao He into the quiet side hall. "Old General, please take a look, this is Yan Yu's urgent report." As soon as he arrived in the hall, Zhao He picked up the feather book on the desk and handed it to Lian Po. "The old soldier is stationed in Wu'an, and he knows all about the military situation. How can my king decide?" Zhao He laughed and said, "Ask the general about the battle. Does the old general think that Yan Yu can be saved?" After a moment of silence, Lian Po finally said: "Yan and Dao are far away and narrow, and it is difficult to save them in a hurry."

Zhao He was startled, and his heart sank: "Wouldn't Handan be in great danger if Yan Yu was thrown to the Qin army?" "Handan is safe, my king has no worries." "How did you see that?" "Old soldiers guarding Wu'an, it is difficult for the Qin army to cross the thunder pool half a step!" Zhao He stopped talking.Lian Po's answer was beyond his expectation. With the eyes of such a brave veteran, if he thinks that Yan is difficult to save, then obviously it is really difficult to save.Zhao He is not a war king like his father Zhao Yong, he has never fought a war, and the decisions in wars have always been based on the opinions of generals.Lian Po was originally promoted in the army, and he has been in battle for a long time. If he can say "the road is long and narrow", it must be the rugged mountainous land where the army cannot march at the same time, and it is too late to rush there.All of a sudden, Zhao He remembered Lian Po's original suggestion: 50,000 soldiers in Yan and Dang!However, the rest of the generals thought that 20,000 troops would be enough to support them, and there were too many troops, not to mention that they could not be deployed, the transportation of food and grass, and the difficulty of quickly dispatching troops when they solidified were all disadvantages.From the current point of view, Lian Po is actually calm and conniving.Lian Po hurried back to Wu'an to prepare troops.Zhao He was deep in thought, he even skipped the most elaborate dinner, and just wandered around in the hall to watch. "Report to my king, General Le Cheng has arrived."

"Quick, please come in." Le Cheng is Le Yi's second son. He is in his thirties. He has been familiar with military books since he was a child. He is as quiet as his elder brother Le Xian, but he is as refined as his father.At the beginning when Le Yi abandoned Yan and entered Zhao, the cavalry army was defeated by Tian Dan's fire bull formation, and the fallen leaves were thrown away in the autumn wind, and the momentum of the collapse was even faster than Le Yi's attack on Qi.Ji Lezi, the king of Yanhui, regretted so much that he was even more afraid that Leyi would bear his hatred for Yan and lead Zhao Jun to attack Yan, so he sent a secret envoy to Shu Leyi, pushing the original mistake to "misleading the king" and declaring his own The original intention was "Because the general has been exposed to the outside world for a long time, he called the general to rest and discuss matters." In the end, he accused Le Yi of "general overhearing, so as to cause a rift with the king, so he abandoned Yan and returned to Zhao. Why did you meet the kindness of the general?" Le Cheng, who was escorted by Ju Xin and escorted by his mother to Zhao in the early days, was very disdainful when he read the book, and said with a sneer, "Your king is so cheeky, you can speak such words!" Le Yi said Shi smiled faintly: "You know how to make up for a lost sheep, even if there are mistakes to cover up, it is also well-intentioned."

Le Cheng remembered that the light in his father's study room had been on all night, and at dawn, his father called him into the study room, took out three pieces of parchment full of handwriting and said, "This is a letter to King Yan, so you will be my messenger." up.To understand his father's intention, Le Cheng carefully read the rare long book.My father said bluntly at the beginning: "Le Yi is not a courtier. At the beginning, he could not flatter the king's order and obey the heart of the left and right. He was afraid of hurting the wisdom of the former king, so he fled to Zhao. Now the number of people is punished by the number of people. I am afraid that the left and right of the step will not notice the former king. Believe in the principle of the minister, but not the intention of the minister, so I dare to write the letter." A few words, but there are many hidden meanings, and Le Cheng couldn't help but admire.Then, my father discussed in detail the process of King Yan Zhao's vigilance, hard work, respect for talents, and the appointment of Le Yi to destroy Qi, as well as the huge benefits brought to the country of Yan. Big bronze mirror.The last paragraph is still touching, and Le Cheng can still recite it verbatim:

With this letter of reply, King Yanhui was speechless, so he had to show his kindness to Zhao Guo again and again, asking Zhao Wang to allow Le Yi to return to his hometown to visit.Zhao He, however, was as clear as a mirror, and he ignored it again and again, until Le Yi acquiesced, and then "Wang ordered specially to hope that all the kings will visit Yan".This is a clear warning to the State of Yan: Le Yi is a minister of Zhao, if the State of Yan has the intention of harming the State of Zhao, it will be an enemy of the State of Zhao!Later, Le Yi returned to Yan alone, and the King of Yan persuaded Le Yi to return to Yan to regain military power, but Le Yi politely resigned.Seeing that Le Yi did not return, King Yanhui proposed that Le Yi's eldest son, Le Xian, return to Yan to inherit the title of Lord Chang, but he did not want Le Yi to say: "Since Le is in Zhao, he should be the general of Zhao. How can he escape from Zhao again?" What happened?" King Yan Hui couldn't help panicking: "Master Le is the general of Zhao, so he has the heart to attack Yan?" Le Yi smiled and said: "Master Le will not attack Yan, this is a clear agreement between Le Yi and King Zhao, and King Yan will not worry about it." After returning from the Kingdom of Yan, Zhao He asked Le Yi to come out to hold the seal of General Zhao, and Le Yi also smiled leisurely: "Le Yi is old and weak, he has lost his ambition to lead the army, and he is ashamed of King Zhao. If he wins the army In an emergency, the two sons of my ministers may try their best. Zhao Guoliang will come forth in succession, so there is no need for an old man." Since then, Le Yi has become a real hermit in Guanjin as a guest, while Le Xian and Le Cheng have successively become Zhao country general.

"General, please sit down." As soon as Le Cheng came in, King Huiwen Zhao He first said a word of courtesy, and before the tea-making maid was seated, he hurriedly took the seat opposite Le Cheng: "General, tell me, how can I rescue you?" Le Cheng was quite alert, and came The road has been planned properly, so he calmly replied: "Zhao Wang Mingcha: Yanyu is a dangerous place for soldiers, and a big mountain is rugged and difficult to walk. The army cannot advance quickly, and it is difficult to rescue." Lost it?" King Huiwen gasped. "But not necessarily." Le Cheng seemed to have a plan in mind, "Yan and 20,000 elites may be able to defend for a period of time. Right now, I can send an army out of Wu'an and detour to Shangdang to cut off the Qin army's way back; wait for Le Cheng to relax." After the battle of Zhongshan is over, send troops south to attack, and Yan Yu will surely regain what he lost." King Huiwen was silent for a moment.Although Le Cheng's strategy cannot be said to be unreasonable, it has taken a lot of trouble. Even if Le Xian destroys Zhongshan smoothly, it will take at least three or two months.Zhao Jun had to go to the party through the way, and had to negotiate carefully with South Korea. If South Korea used this to charge a high price, it would be a dilemma for a while.But one side is stuck between the north and the south, and the recovery of Yanyu is far away.Comparing with the example of the Qin army's capture of Hanoi and Nanjun, the speed with which the Qin people seized and transformed the land is surprising, but within three to two months, Yan Yu may never regain it.If they really lost Yan and the fortress, Qin Jun suddenly wedged into Zhao State like a nail, directly threatening Handan!However, such a situation would be a great shame to Zhao Guo, whose national strength and military strength are flourishing day by day, even if Zhongshan is captured, it cannot be offset!Lecheng planning, only considers the feasibility of military strategists, but does not understand the needs of the general trend, it is too broad.However, King Huiwen was unable to make demands on Le Cheng based on the general situation. In military battles, if the general is not successful, even if the king insists, it will be a failure in all likelihood, not to mention the most disdainful thing Le Yi and his son It's the king's death. "Report to my king: Tian Bu ordered Zhao She to arrive." Yu Shi walked in quickly. "Zhao She?" King Huiwen suddenly recalled that he hurriedly summoned the Tianbu Ling to come back to plan food and grass, but now that no one is leading the army, what's the use of planning food and grass?Feeling relieved, Zhao He smiled lightly, "Let him in." This Zhao She is actually a well-known and capable official of Zhao State.Tianbu, in Zhao State, is the official office in charge of land and farming taxation, which is equivalent to the official office of Situ (later called Situ) in Wei State.Tianbe Ling is the chief minister in charge of Tianbe.The ancestor of Zhao She was originally a distant branch of the Zhao family, and later became a farming countryman in Handan.When Zhao Yong, the King of Wuling, recruited a new army with cavalry and archery, the young Zhao She joined the army. He fought outside the Great Wall for more than ten years, and was gradually promoted to the general of the supply camp due to his military exploits.This supply battalion is the lifeblood of the army. In addition to transporting, hoarding, and defending the food and grass camp, it also has tasks such as the manufacture and repair of weapons, armor and horse gear, and the storage and distribution of various military goods.The supply general of an army not only needs to be able to lead his troops to guard the camp without loss in actual combat, but also has the ability to manage government affairs and business travel.Otherwise, many cumbersome affairs such as government agency allocation, long-distance transportation, establishment of camp storage, and regular distribution will be messed up immediately.Zhao She, who was in his early thirties at the time, was an orderly general of the supply battalion and never made a single mistake.Three years later, King Wu Ling greatly appreciated Zhao She's military and political talents, and made an exception to move Zhao She from the army to the left as a court official, and appointed him as an official of the field department. work. In the Warring States Period, tax collection was the most important policy in the world, and it was also the number one problem in the world.The war continued, and the army's wealth consumption was astonishing. Without a steady stream of material strength, the army would not be able to gain a foothold immediately!However, in the Warring States period, it was not possible to rely on increasing taxes to support the army, because the world was in great contention at that time, and countries competed to attract the population. If taxes were increased and the people were overwhelmed, the people would flee in large numbers or even turmoil.Once there is turmoil, you cannot easily use troops to suppress it. If you use troops to suppress it, other countries will take the opportunity to send troops to "conquer the people and punish crimes" to destroy their country and divide their land.Less than ten years after King Qi Min doubled his taxes, he fought a landslide and was hacked to pieces by the mob. Letting you be the king of the world with the power in your hands, you are also terrified!However, with such a general trend, taxation can only be moderate, and moderate will inevitably be constrained by wealth from time to time.A wise national policy can only rely on timely collection to make up for it. In addition, it is necessary to strictly prevent tax evasion and evasion, otherwise the wealth will be tight immediately.Therefore, the field bureaucrats who collect taxes are not capable of doing things unless they are strong.Otherwise, given that Wuling King Zhao Yongzhi attaches great importance to military struggles, how can he transfer a very talented young general to a civil servant? As soon as Zhao She took office, he encountered a difficult problem. Inspecting the big tax account, the four counties under the jurisdiction of the state (Shangdang County, Yanmen County, Yunzhong County, and Dai County) more than 60 counties, the taxation is exactly the same, and more than 20 family fiefs can occupy more than 30 counties. Taxes are only less than 20% collected.The four families and sixteen counties of Zhao Sheng, Lord of Pingyuan, Lord of Anping, Zhao Bao of Lord of Pingyang, and Lord of Dai'an Zhaozhang, the largest fiefdoms in the sixteen counties, have not paid the taxes due to the state government for three years.When Zhao She asked about the reason, Tian Buzhu only muttered, "Sijun supports Zhao, who dares to accept if he doesn't pay?" Zhao She frowned, thought for a long time, and decisively ordered to gather Tianbu's urge to recruit thousands of cavalry, and prepare 3,000 ox carts, and then immediately set off to Pingyuan Jun's fiefdom.In Zhao She's view, Mr. Pingyuan is known as the "Four Great Princes of the Warring States Period", and he is also a direct descendant of the royal family. He has always been a pillar of the country, and there is absolutely no reason to refuse to pay taxes.To pay the fief taxes, only from Lord Pingyuan.Although the Zhao State implemented the new law at this time, it was not as thorough as the reform of the Qin State.The biggest difference is that the Zhao State relatively intactly retained the family fiefdom system.The so-called relative integrity mainly lies in the fact that two traditions have not changed: first, the fiefdom is hereditary, and the fiefdom is not seized because the inheritor has no merit; The government takes the lead.The Qin State, on the other hand, greatly emptied the fiefdom system into a symbol. Non-heritable officials cannot be granted land, and their descendants cannot be hereditary. Part of it will be given to the meritorious officials.In fact, the feudal system of Qin State has become the highest reward in name, and the actual income is only a part of the pure goods from the fiefdom; while the fiefdom system of Zhao State retains the background color of "princes' autonomy", with one party Fiefdom means having great power to govern the people and establish private armed forces.To put it a little further, this is the old tradition of the vassal system based on the private family.Speaking more closely, this was the actual consideration of Wu Ling Wang Zhao Yong when he reformed, and he will explain it later.The land of the plains straddles the east and west banks of the great river. There are five counties and six hundred miles of land that are almost flat and fertile fields. Two hundred miles to the east is Jishui in Qi State, and the fief cities are called plains.At twilight, the cavalry and ox-carts marched out of Pingyuan City. Zhao She ordered the ox-cart brigade and nine hundred knights to camp outside the moat.According to the law, the Pingyuan order was originally an official of the government, and its title was also conferred by Zhao Wang's edict.However, as a matter of fact, it is the lord who names and recommends the country, and the kings of Zhao all issue edicts to appoint officials and confer titles.As soon as Zhao She's men and horses moved, Ping Yuanling received an urgent report from Kuai Ma.When Zhao She entered the city, Ping Yuanling had already prepared a grand banquet and waited outside the gate of the official office in person. "Tabe's journey has been full of dust and dust, and Xiaoling specially arranged a small banquet to wash away the dust for Tianbe. Please, Tianbe!" Ping Yuanling smiled kindly and amiably, although he was still respectful, but he did not have the unique solemnity of government officials when facing state affairs.In fact, the sophisticated Pingyuan Order did not take Zhao She to heart.An official of the field department, with a lower title than him, treats him with a feast just because he is an official with real power in the government, how can he be different. "Don't dare to disturb the banquet." Zhao She stared at Ping Yuanling with piercing eyes, but there was a faint smile on his face, "Zhao She came here for state affairs. If Ping Yuanling can immediately sort out the taxes for three years, Zhao She will be the host. feast." "Dare to ask Tian Bu, are you paying taxes according to the king's order?" Because regular taxes are difficult to collect, King Zhao Wuling sometimes suddenly imposes emergency taxes in the name of wars, and those who violate orders will be punished immediately!This is a characteristic of the king's order, and the idle lord dare not disobey, so Pingyuan ordered this question. "The regular tax has not been paid, and no characteristics are required." The smile on Zhao She's dark face disappeared, "I am responsible for the taxation of the Tianbu, which is the state affairs of the king's order. Please check the seal of the official." With a wave of his hand, the civil servant behind him Then he brought over a copper box, and Zhao She also took out a bamboo board from his close-fitting pocket to shine on Ping Yuanling's eyes. "How can Tianbe have a fake?" Pingyuan Ling chuckled, "It's just that there are more than 20 fiefdoms here, and most of them are in arrears. Why is Tianbe so fond of Pingyuan Lord?" "Pingyuan Ling is poor. The law is like a mountain , although the prince is no exception, let alone more than 20 feudal lords?" Zhao She looked solemn, "Since ancient times, taxes have been collected from far away and then near. Don't you know the laws of the country?" Ping Yuanling's face was suddenly embarrassed, but he forced a smile and said: "The lord is in Handan, how can Xiaoling make the decision? If you have to pay, you have to ask the Tianbu to go to Handan to ask Pingyuan Lord." "It's a good excuse." Zhao She slightly Sneered, "If Pingyuan Ling can produce the anti-tax warrant of Mr. Pingyuan, I will find Mr. Pingyuan to make an argument. Otherwise, if you are under the rule of the king, you will know the law and break the law." "Tianbu is really nice." Laughing, "Although I am a prince, I am the elder of Mr. Pingyuan's family. Do you understand? I have a warrant from Mr. Pingyuan, and my elders should obey it. Otherwise, if Tianbu came, please go back. My elders will not accompany you!" After saying a word coldly, he walked away.Zhao She raised her eyebrows suddenly: "Take it for me!" The two armored knights said "Hi!", and they strode forward and suddenly turned back the plain order that had been swinging to the porch of the hall.With a loud shout from the gatekeepers in the corridor, two rows of spear soldiers who had been serving as a guard of honor to welcome guests immediately surrounded him, and the officials from the official office who came out to welcome them with Pingyuan's order also surrounded Zhao She clamorously. "Do you really want to fight against the tax law?" Zhao She remained motionless with a dark face. A grey-haired old official hissed and shouted: "The old man is a tax collector, but I am the little Otabe?!" He was promoted, but he was deaf and blind! Hahahahaha!" Zhao She waved his hand, and behind him a hundred knights scattered their long swords and immediately surrounded a group of civil servants and soldiers.Zhao She smiled coldly: "There are eight tax collectors in the Pingyuan Command Office, and all of them are here." Suddenly, his voice became stern, "If you know the law and break the law, you openly resist the national tax. The crime is unforgivable! Zhao Fa: Anyone who resists the national tax will be executed!" Now you guys dare to resist the national tax for three years and six materials, where is the law? The tax inspector: Pingyuan Ling and the eight tax collectors will be executed immediately!" "Hi!" Although Tianbe's tax inspector is used to this way, he has never been prestige in the family fiefdom, and now he is very energetic. When he responded, the eighteen soldiers immediately arrested nine of them and put them in a row. . "Zhao She! How dare you, a mere official in the field department, kill the government official!" Ping Yuanling struggled and shouted. "Since you are an official of the state government, you should serve your sentence according to the law. Beheaded!" A flash of sword light flashed, and the nine heads fell to the ground in unison with a muffled "Boom!"!The thing happened really suddenly, and under the horrified panic, the government officials and the besieged soldiers were panting heavily with their mouths wide open like a piece of clay puppets.It's unbelievable for anyone to kill the nine retainers of Hehe Pingyuan Lord in a short time, but these nine bloody heads are right under your feet, why don't you believe it?Suddenly, a government official hissed and shouted: "Tianbu official has killed someone! Report to the monarch quickly—" and ran away, and the nightmare-like officials and soldiers also scattered and fled in all directions as if they had just woken up from a dream. "Leave the city to set up camp and wait for Lord Pingyuan." Zhao She turned on his horse with a faint smile, and led the Hundred Knights out of the city.At noon that day, smoke and dust rose up in the western field like thunder, and according to Zhao Shezhi's battle experience, it was obvious at a glance that this was Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng's guest cavalry team, which was better than ordinary elite cavalry.Prince Pingyuan's fiefdom is in Pingyuan, but the foundation of his power is in Handan Mansion.The Pingyuan fiefdom only has the Pingyuan Command Office and two or three thousand private soldiers stationed in various cities. In ordinary times, they only supervise the collection of taxes and escort them to the Pingyuan Lord's Mansion in Handan.But there are major incidents, all of which are handled by Handan Pingyuan Junfu who sent capable disciples as special envoys.Judging by today's momentum, all the two thousand knights came out, and it was obvious that Mr. Pingyuan came in person.Seeing such a situation, the knights of the Tianbu officials were a little panicked.Zhao She was calm and calm, his eyes swept over the officials and knights, and he only said lightly: "Do things according to the law, why be afraid?" Then he turned around and ordered, "Rectify the ox carts, the knights line up, and the scribes prepare the tax books!" Said After all, he walked into the Maoting on the side of the road.Just at this moment, the cavalry was swept by like a hurricane.When the knight wore a flaming cloak and a tight brown leather armor, and his long gray beard fluttered on his chest, he shouted angrily from an arrow away: "Where is the official from the field department?" Yaoyao spread out into a huge formation of wild goose wings, encircling the knights of Tabe and all the ox carts. "Zhao She, an official of the Tianbu, has met Mr. Pingyuan." Zhao She came out of the Maoting, and bowed his hands in a salute neither humble nor overbearing. "What a field official, take it down for me!" The hundred cavalry guards behind Mr. Pingyuan had already dismounted from their horses, and immediately responded by tying Zhao She to the horse. "Officer Tian Bu, do you know where Li Zi is?" Mr. Ping Yuan circled the fierce and fierce horse, and looked at the motionless strong man in front of the horse. He was dressed in brown leather armor and his dark face was like two heads. A stone pillar of average thickness was poked at the crossing, clearly a rough man who only knows how to fight in battle. "Pingyuan City, Pingyuan Lord's fiefdom." Zhao She was actually flat and cold. "Since you know that I am entrusted with the land, why would you dare to kill and steal?" "Mr. Pingyuan is wrong!" Zhao She shouted angrily, "You are in Zhao State, you are a son, but you indulge your servants, do not serve the public and abide by the law! You are a man of the world, don't you know that the weakening of the law will weaken the state, and the state will be weakened. Weakened, the princes will increase their troops, and the princes will increase their troops. How can there be Zhao? If there is no Zhao, how can there be the wealth of the monarch's fiefdom? With the dignity of the monarch, follow the law and obey the law. You are a noble relative of the royal family, you despise the country and put more emphasis on self-interest, and you will live forever!" The sound was scattered in the four fields with the wind, and all the followers and soldiers could hear it clearly.Mr. Pingyuan was silent for a long time, got off his horse, bowed deeply, untied the rope on Zhao She himself, called a retainer to give some instructions, and got on the horse.The retainers came over and saluted Zhao She: "Mr. Pingyuan has an order: Immediately settle the three-year tax with the officials of the Tianbu." From the evening of that day, Zhao She's ox cart brigade has been busy for a whole month before Pingyuan Lord's All taxes were sent to various treasuries.Zhao She became famous, and Mr. Pingyuan tried his best to recommend him. When King Wu Ling abdicated, he promoted Zhao She to Tianbu Zuo Ling, who was in charge of the national taxation of the business, travel, market and Bai Workshop.Zhao He came to the throne, and was promoted to the Minister of Zhao Shetian, and became a key official in charge of Zhao's land, farming and taxation.In the past twenty years, the treasury of the State of Zhao has been well-off and the people have been unequaled, most of which are due to Zhao She's contribution.Such a capable minister of governing the country, King Huiwen naturally valued him very much, but Zhao She was not a leading general after all, how could he solve the urgent need?When Zhao She strode in, King Huiwen was stuck in his thoughts just now, and sighed heavily: "There is no salvation!" "Report to my king: Zhao She was ordered to return the capital." "Your Majesty, sit down." King Huiwen turned his head and waved his hand, "This is an urgent matter, but now it is delayed." "What my king is referring to, could it be that Yan and the war?" "Do you know the military situation?" King Huiwen suddenly turned his head, "Tell me, can Yan Yu be saved?" "It can be saved." Zhao She said firmly, "Although the road between Yan and him is far and narrow for our army, it is also unfavorable for the Qin army. When two armies meet, it is like two mice fighting in a hole, and the brave will win." Hui Hui King Wen's eyes suddenly lit up!Yes, the long and narrow road is also unfavorable to the Qin army. At this time, the brave wins, which makes sense!Looking at the heavy and heavy Zhao She again, King Huiwen suddenly remembered the awe-inspiring aura of killing the nine retainers of Lord Pingyuan at this moment, and stood up suddenly like an unshakable mountain in front of him: "This king orders you!" : Zhao She is also in command of General Handan, leading an army of 100,000 to help Yanhe!" "My lord, my king: 60,000 cavalry are enough." Le Cheng, who was sitting firmly on the ground, was always smiling, but at this moment, the corners of his mouth suddenly twitched in surprise.King Huiwen's eyes flashed: "Qin's army is 80,000, you should not rely on bravery to underestimate the enemy." Show it." King Huiwen slapped his palms together: "Okay! This king will award the military talisman, and the general will return to the mansion to rest for one night and send troops tomorrow morning." Zhao She stood up solemnly: "When the general is ordered, it is the day when he shoulders the safety of the country. How can you give up the army and go home? Your servant please go to the army and send troops at four o'clock!" Suddenly, the young King Huiwen's eyes were wet, and he couldn't help but bowed deeply to Zhao She: "You are a general, and the country owns Thailand. Dai Ye!" Zhao She supported King Huiwen: "I have a request." "Speak directly." "Hi!" Although Tianbe's tax inspector is used to this way, he has never been prestige in the family fiefdom, and now he is very energetic. When he responded, the eighteen soldiers immediately arrested nine of them and put them in a row. . "Zhao She! How dare you, a mere official in the field department, kill the government official!" Ping Yuanling struggled and shouted. "Since you are an official of the state government, you should serve your sentence according to the law. Beheaded!" A flash of sword light flashed, and the nine heads fell to the ground in unison with a muffled "Boom!"!The thing happened really suddenly, and under the horrified panic, the government officials and the besieged soldiers were panting heavily with their mouths wide open like a piece of clay puppets.It's unbelievable for anyone to kill the nine retainers of Hehe Pingyuan Lord in a short time, but these nine bloody heads are right under your feet, why don't you believe it?Suddenly, a government official hissed and shouted: "Tianbu official has killed someone! Report to the monarch quickly—" and ran away, and the nightmare-like officials and soldiers also scattered and fled in all directions as if they had just woken up from a dream. "Leave the city to set up camp and wait for Lord Pingyuan." Zhao She turned on his horse with a faint smile, and led the Hundred Knights out of the city.At noon that day, smoke and dust rose up in the western field like thunder, and according to Zhao Shezhi's battle experience, it was obvious at a glance that this was Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng's guest cavalry team, which was better than ordinary elite cavalry.Prince Pingyuan's fiefdom is in Pingyuan, but the foundation of his power is in Handan Mansion.The Pingyuan fiefdom only has the Pingyuan Command Office and two or three thousand private soldiers stationed in various cities. In ordinary times, they only supervise the collection of taxes and escort them to the Pingyuan Lord's Mansion in Handan.But there are major incidents, all of which are handled by Handan Pingyuan Junfu who sent capable disciples as special envoys.Judging by today's momentum, all the two thousand knights came out, and it was obvious that Mr. Pingyuan came in person.Seeing such a situation, the knights of the Tianbu officials were a little panicked.Zhao She was calm and calm, his eyes swept over the officials and knights, and he only said lightly: "Do things according to the law, why be afraid?" Then he turned around and ordered, "Rectify the ox carts, the knights line up, and the scribes prepare the tax books!" Said After all, he walked into the Maoting on the side of the road.Just at this moment, the cavalry was swept by like a hurricane.When the knight wore a flaming cloak and a tight brown leather armor, and his long gray beard fluttered on his chest, he shouted angrily from an arrow away: "Where is the official from the field department?" Yaoyao spread out into a huge formation of wild goose wings, encircling the knights of Tabe and all the ox carts. "Zhao She, an official of the Tianbu, has met Mr. Pingyuan." Zhao She came out of the Maoting, and bowed his hands in a salute neither humble nor overbearing. "What a field official, take it down for me!" The hundred cavalry guards behind Mr. Pingyuan had already dismounted from their horses, and immediately responded by tying Zhao She to the horse. "Officer Tian Bu, do you know where Li Zi is?" Mr. Ping Yuan circled the fierce and fierce horse, and looked at the motionless strong man in front of the horse. He was dressed in brown leather armor and his dark face was like two heads. A stone pillar of average thickness was poked at the crossing, clearly a rough man who only knows how to fight in battle. "Pingyuan City, Pingyuan Lord's fiefdom." Zhao She was actually flat and cold. "Since you know that I am entrusted with the land, why would you dare to kill and steal?" "Mr. Pingyuan is wrong!" Zhao She shouted angrily, "You are in Zhao State, you are a son, but you indulge your servants, do not serve the public and abide by the law! You are a man of the world, don't you know that the weakening of the law will weaken the state, and the state will be weakened. Weakened, the princes will increase their troops, and the princes will increase their troops. How can there be Zhao? If there is no Zhao, how can there be the wealth of the monarch's fiefdom? With the dignity of the monarch, follow the law and obey the law. You are a noble relative of the royal family, you despise the country and put more emphasis on self-interest, and you will live forever!" The sound was scattered in the four fields with the wind, and all the followers and soldiers could hear it clearly.Mr. Pingyuan was silent for a long time, got off his horse, bowed deeply, untied the rope on Zhao She himself, called a retainer to give some instructions, and got on the horse.The retainers came over and saluted Zhao She: "Mr. Pingyuan has an order: Immediately settle the three-year tax with the officials of the Tianbu." From the evening of that day, Zhao She's ox cart brigade has been busy for a whole month before Pingyuan Lord's All taxes were sent to various treasuries.Zhao She became famous, and Mr. Pingyuan tried his best to recommend him. When King Wu Ling abdicated, he promoted Zhao She to Tianbu Zuo Ling, who was in charge of the national taxation of the business, travel, market and Bai Workshop.Zhao He came to the throne, and was promoted to the Minister of Zhao Shetian, and became a key official in charge of Zhao's land, farming and taxation.In the past twenty years, the treasury of the State of Zhao has been well-off and the people have been unequaled, most of which are due to Zhao She's contribution.Such a capable minister of governing the country, King Huiwen naturally valued him very much, but Zhao She was not a leading general after all, how could he solve the urgent need?When Zhao She strode in, King Huiwen was stuck in his thoughts just now, and sighed heavily: "There is no salvation!" "Report to my king: Zhao She was ordered to return the capital." "Your Majesty, sit down." King Huiwen turned his head and waved his hand, "This is an urgent matter, but now it is delayed." "What my king is referring to, could it be that Yan and the war?" "Do you know the military situation?" King Huiwen suddenly turned his head, "Tell me, can Yan Yu be saved?" "It can be saved." Zhao She said firmly, "Although the road between Yan and him is far and narrow for our army, it is also unfavorable for the Qin army. When two armies meet, it is like two mice fighting in a hole, and the brave will win." Hui Hui King Wen's eyes suddenly lit up!Yes, the long and narrow road is also unfavorable to the Qin army. At this time, the brave wins, which makes sense!Looking at the heavy and heavy Zhao She again, King Huiwen suddenly remembered the awe-inspiring aura of killing the nine retainers of Lord Pingyuan at this moment, and stood up suddenly like an unshakable mountain in front of him: "This king orders you!" : Zhao She is also in command of General Handan, leading an army of 100,000 to help Yanhe!" "My lord, my king: 60,000 cavalry are enough." Le Cheng, who was sitting firmly on the ground, was always smiling, but at this moment, the corners of his mouth suddenly twitched in surprise.King Huiwen's eyes flashed: "Qin's army is 80,000, you should not rely on bravery to underestimate the enemy." Show it." King Huiwen slapped his palms together: "Okay! This king will award the military talisman, and the general will return to the mansion to rest for one night and send troops tomorrow morning." Zhao She stood up solemnly: "When the general is ordered, it is the day when he shoulders the safety of the country. How can you give up the army and go home? Your servant please go to the army and send troops at four o'clock!" Suddenly, the young King Huiwen's eyes were wet, and he couldn't help but bowed deeply to Zhao She: "You are a general, and the country owns Thailand. Dai Ye!" Zhao She supported King Huiwen: "I have a request." "Speak directly." "Xu Chen chooses a fighter, please don't intervene." King Huiwen pulled Zhao She's hand and gave a "crack!": "Zhao He swears: those who involved in the army for no reason will die violently!" The corner of Le Cheng's mouth twitched suddenly.Zhao She bowed deeply to King Huiwen solemnly, and strode away.
