Chapter 33 The fifth section is steadfast

On the Weishui River, a large official ship with black sails is heading eastward, and the verdant Lishan Mountain on the south bank is far in sight. A short, black fat man on the bow was gazing at Mount Li with a contented expression.Suddenly, a fast horse appeared in his sight, chasing east along the official road on the south bank.Look at the moment when it is parallel to the official boat, the horse quickly turned off the official road and came straight to the Weishui official boat! "Stop the boat." The black short fat man gave an order, and the anchor chain of the big ship was thrown down with a "gu dong dong", and the official ship stopped steadily.The black short fat man looked at the two or three feet wide reed mudflats on the shore, and ordered loudly: "Put down the longboard!" As soon as the words fell, the knight had already galloped to the shore, but the black horse that was as fast as lightning suddenly neighed. Immediately, the knight leaped high with the power of the steed, and flew up to the bow of the ship like a big eagle.

"Young master is very skilled." The black short fat man chuckled. The young knight shook the sweat off his face, and bowed his hands: "Sir, the matter is urgent, and I want to report it to your majesty immediately!" "Young master, come with me." Long pass: "Young Master Yinghua has an urgent meeting!" Following the voice, the two of them had already descended the short ladder and arrived at the central cabin.King Ying Si greeted her with a smile: "Little sister is so anxious, it doesn't look like good news. Serve iced tea!" Before Ying Hua could speak, he took a pot of iced tea from the waiter and sipped it dry. After taking off the wet hair ribbon, a head of shiny black hair spread over her shoulders like a waterfall, and she turned into a bright and handsome lady in an instant!She didn't have the slightest leisurely gesture, and said anxiously with a flushed face: "Your Majesty, the six kingdoms of Shandong are going to encircle Qin!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, sit down and talk slowly." Ying Si smiled and pointed to the desk: "I haven't entered Hangu Pass yet." Ying Hua smiled shyly, and then explained in detail After hearing the urgent reports from the scouts everywhere: the changes in Yanzhao and Su Qin's current lobbying actions, etc., they talked for half an hour.As they listened, Ying Si and Chi Liji's expressions darkened in unison. "What does the doctor think?" Ying Si walked slowly. "This is a big matter. I think it's time to invite the Taifu and Guowei to discuss it immediately."

"The Weishui inspection this time was abandoned halfway again." Ying Si punched heavily on the cabin pillar, feeling deeply distressed.This time, Ying Si and Chi Liji brought five old hydraulic workers down the Weishui River to the east, originally to investigate the saline-alkali hazards along the Weishui River, determine the treatment strategy, and want to start the project to eradicate the salinity-alkali in Qinchuan as soon as possible.This is also an important part of the "foundation of getting rich first" promoted by the senior doctor Chi Liji. He insisted on rushing to start construction when the six countries were in chaos, and changed the appearance of Qinchuan in one fell swoop within two or three years.Who knows that just halfway through the survey, such a sudden big change happened, how could Ying Si not be saddened? "Your Majesty, survival is an urgent matter, and you should deal with it urgently, otherwise changes will occur if you are late." Xi Liji did not complain at all. "Come here." Ying Si turned around and ordered: "Hurry up and pass, please come and discuss with Taifu and Guowei immediately." Chi Liji immediately answered: "The big ship is waiting at the Lishan Wharf."

Ying Hua got up abruptly: "Junshang's special envoy just take care of the East Lu Guowei, I'll go back to Xianyang!" The voice fell, and the person had already left the cabin, only to hear a loud and long whistle, and the black horse neighed and flew from the grassy beach.Ying Hua leaped from the high bow of the ship, flew onto the horse, and headed west like lightning. "Your Majesty, Mr. Yinghua is very useful." Chi Liji smiled leisurely. "Okay, let's think of a big use for her when I go to the doctor, so that she won't have to ask me to do things all day long."

"Hey, let's talk about it after the minister, the Tai Tuo and the Guowei make up their minds together." Chu Liji nodded slyly. In the early morning of the next day, before the morning fog dissipated on the river beach, Grand Tutor Yingqian and Guowei Sima Cuo arrived from Xianyang and Hangu Pass one after another.Xi Liji had already made arrangements for the continuation of the hydraulic survey yesterday. Seeing that Yingqian and Sima boarded the boat by mistake, he ordered the official boat to go upstream immediately.Ying Si was careful, and expected that Ying Qian and Sima Cuo were starving while driving all the way, so he ordered the servants to bring food and wine to the cabin, and told them to let go of eating and drinking, and listen while eating.Xi Liji first talked about the various scouting reports collected by Ying Hua from beginning to end, and finally concluded: "Although this matter is important, it is in the process of becoming a trend. Your Majesty's intention, it is best to plan and deal with it as soon as possible." Otherwise, I will fall into a situation where the oceans block me." "Bird!" Yingqian slammed his fist on the case: "This Su Qin is really vicious, kill this thief first, then Break the blockade of the Six Kingdoms!" Chi Liji chuckled: "Even if it works, it may not be able to kill Su Qin. Taifu, calm down." Yingqian also smiled in relief: "I am a martial artist, I just know how to listen, you Fatty has a lot of ideas, let's talk about it first." "I've been thinking about it all night, but I really haven't figured out a way to break Su Qin's chain of alliances." Chi Liji shook his head dejectedly: "However, I thought about it for a while. A digression: First, send special envoys along the way to persuade the king of Qi to form an alliance with our Qin State, and attack the Central Plains from east to west, and divide the world together. As long as Qi State is stabilized first, the power of the other five countries will be greatly reduced. Second, it is best to have a secret envoy who can see Su Qin and convince Su Qin to return to Qin. Don’t forget that Su Qin valued Qin first, so this can be called a drudgery. What do you think, Your Majesty, Taifu, and Guowei?" "What does Guo Wei think?" Ying Si looked at Sima Cuo, eager to hear what he had to say.

Sima Cuo had been silently thinking for a while, and when he saw the king's question, he cupped his hands and said, "I think that the doctor can do two things. Qi is the most powerful country in Shandong. If Qi can't move for a while, the alliance of the six countries will also be frustrated. This special envoy, minister I thought that the only doctor was worthy of the great responsibility. As for Su Qin, I thought it was difficult to convince him, and this person is so powerful that it is impossible to meet him..." "Meet Su Qin, I will try." Ying Hua, who was guarding outside the cabin, took a step forward Stepped in: "The important thing is, who will be the lobbyist?" Yingqian smiled slightly: "I think the fat one is the most suitable. Go to Qi, just drop in and do it." "Your Majesty, please allow me and Young Master Let's talk about it later, let's make a big plan first." Chu Liji didn't comment. "Okay, let's listen to Guowei." Ying Si smiled and said, "It's not difficult for anyone to implement it."

Sima Cuo continued: "I think it's time to plan something. Now that there is such a co-leader like Su Qin, Qin has to find a strategist who is talented enough to compete with Su Qin. Otherwise, Qin will be in great danger. The military is poor, and the top officials are good at governing the country and managing the people, but they are not good at state relations. Only by finding such a great talent, Qin can let go." "Wonderful!" Chu Li clapped his hands quickly and laughed: "A word to remind everyone Mengren, I think of a person, it is enough to resist the Soviet Union!" "Tell me, doctor, who is it?" Ying Si asked urgently.

"Junior Brother Su Qin, Zhang Yi!" "Zhang Yi?" The three monarchs and ministers suddenly nodded, but they were all silent again.Still Ying Si said: "I heard that this person is still alive?" Chi Li shook his head quickly: "I don't know if this person is dead or alive, but I only know that this person can reach Su Qin. If you don't know whether he is dead or alive, there is a possibility of living." Ying Si was silent for a long time, and resolutely took the case, "Okay! To investigate Zhang Yi, if you live, you must see people, and if you die, you must see the corpse!"

At twilight, the ship arrived in Xianyang, and the secret meeting between the monarch and his ministers had just ended.That night, the big study room of Xianyang Palace was brightly lit all night, and edicts and secret orders were issued one after another.Yingqian, Chi Liji, Sima Cuo, and Young Master Yinghua have been guarding the dispatch hall for emergency dispatch. They have been busy until Dongfang turns pale before calming down. Three days later, a convoy of business travelers left Hangu Pass, passed Luoyang, and headed straight for Xinzheng. Xinzheng City is bustling, and the South Korean people are rushing to tell each other the news: "Alliance against Qin! South Korea is saved!" The bleak and deserted commercial market unknowingly became bustling and bustling, and the farmers in the countryside also let go of their throats. I sang the famous song about happy occasions in sorrow in "Zheng Feng":

The ruling and opposition parties in South Korea have been suppressed for too long!Ever since the death of Han Zhaohou Shen Buhui, South Korea has been unable to hold its head up, its vitality has been greatly weakened, and the people's hearts have been depressed. Even a little lunatic like Song Guo has come to take advantage of the fire.Although the monarch insisted on proclaiming the title of king, in fact, no one was happy.Especially after the Qin State took Yiyang Tieshan by force, the South Korean government and the public were like a blown wind bag, cursing for a while, "Tiger Wolf Violence Qin" and then fell into a miserable silence.Among the Three Jins, South Korea had a bloody feud with the State of Wei, and it was also dirty with the State of Zhao. How could they expect others to help them regain Yiyang?The Qi State and the Qin State repaired well, and they did not want to intervene in the Central Plains; the Yan State could not protect itself; the Chu State was also forced by the Qin State to move its capital to Huaibei.The world is chaotic, and South Korea can't find an ally, and it has fallen to the point where it is dying under the watchful eye of the strong Qin.At this time, Yan Zhao suddenly came to form an alliance with South Korea, how could the South Koreans not be surprised?Especially Zhao Guo, after the decline of Wei State, has already become the leader of the Three Jins in terms of military strength. Reconciling with Zhao Guo is tantamount to South Korea having a strong backer that makes Qin State scruples. Koreans really wish for it!As the news spread, the government and the opposition celebrated each other, and the haze was swept away.Su Qin's predictions were perfect, and he didn't bother to talk about South Korea, and it was almost hit it off. After listening to Su Qin's analysis of the general situation of the world and the estimation of the danger of South Korea, King Han Xuanhui rolled up his sleeves, his eyes were wide open and blazing, and he suddenly got up, pressing his sword and sighing: "Your Majesty, don't say too much, if South Korea Benevolent to serve Qin, heaven and earth will perish! I, from top to bottom of South Korea, wish the whole country to follow Mr. Qin and fight against Qin together!" That night, Su Qin reached an alliance with King Xuanhui of Han.King Han Xuanhui hosted a grand banquet for Su Qin and his party in the Xinzheng Hall. The South Korean monarchs and ministers all spoke together and vowed to cooperate and never break the promise.During the banquet, the guests and hosts were all impassioned and frequently drank until the middle of the night. Back at the post house, the young masters Zhao Sheng and Jing Yan were both very drunk and fell asleep by themselves.Su Qin was very sober, because he only drank the gentle Lanling wine, not Zhao Guolie wine, even so, his face was still flushed and his feet were fluttering.Rush over the whole body with cold water, most of Su Qin's drunkenness subsided, and spread out the big picture in the hall, pacing and looking at the three great powers below - Wei, Chu, and Qi.The six countries are united, these three countries are the greatest strength and the foundation, if any country in the three countries refuses, it will be a failure of the alliance!Although Su Qin was sure, he still didn't dare to take it lightly.You must know that the monarchs of these three countries are all extraordinary: King Wei Hui and King Qi Wei are both old generation monarchs, old and cunning, and extremely difficult to talk about.Although King Chu Wei is young, he is also a veteran king in his forties who came to the throne at the same time as Zhao Suhou. Chu State lost Fangling and forced to move the capital. King Chu Wei decided to promote the second reform in Chu State. At this time, he Would you like to join He Zong...Suddenly, Su Qin heard a strange sound, which was dull, slight, clear, far away and seemed to be getting closer.Yes, just underground!Su Qin broke into a cold sweat suddenly, got up and packed up the big picture, walked quickly to the sword stand, took down the long sword, and danced leisurely in the hall.The Hexi night road and the grassy cottage in the wilderness have made Su Qin no longer afraid of any weird things. He wants to see, what's so weird about this Xinzheng post house? Gently, the curtain deep in the hall moved.Su Qin's eyesight is poor, but his hearing is extraordinary. He has keenly caught a very light cracking sound, but he seems to be unaware of it, and is still dancing the sword leisurely.Suddenly, Su Qin felt a slight abnormal sound behind him, and turned around with a slippery step. He was stunned in surprise—the bookshelf turned into a door that opened silently!A black, short and fat man in green came out of the "door" with duck steps, made a long bow, and smiled all over his face: "Suzi is here all right?" Almost at the same time he came out, that The "door" immediately closed silently!In an instant, Su Qin caught a glimpse of a white flash in the shadow behind the "door". Obviously, there are people hiding behind the curtain behind the "door"! "You? How are you?" Su Qin was stunned for a while. "Hey, Suzi has become a high-ranking official, so he doesn't know anyone? I'm Chi Liji, that's right. Let me tell you how to get in later, how about getting down to business first?" The fat man in black smiled happily.Su Qin said coldly: "Business? As a senior doctor, if you are so stealthy, can you do business?" Chi Liji made another long bow: "I have no choice but to ask Su Zi to forgive me." "Come on, what's the business?" Su Qin pointed to the long case: "Please take a seat." Xi Liji took his seat calmly, and said with a smile, "Su Zi, can the alliance of the six kingdoms be successful?" "Qin is already scared?" Chi Liji sighed: "Su Zi, at the beginning the Qin State didn't have an important task to keep you, Qin Gong deeply regretted it, and he still misses you." Su Qin couldn't help laughing: "Qi Liji can say such weak words, really. It’s a wonder! Without He Zong, would Duke Qin think of Su Qin? At the beginning Qin didn’t use my tactics, so naturally he didn’t need to keep me, so why should he regret it? Su Qin didn’t blame Duke Qin, and he didn’t regret the past.” "Okay! Don't play tricks." Chi Liji cupped his hands sternly: "Mr. Qin ordered me to be a special envoy, and sincerely invites Su Zi to return to Qin to take over the post of prime minister. I hope that Su Zi will use the strong Qin as the foundation to achieve great things, and his name will last forever." "Ci Lizi is a famous scholar, you should know the story of carving a boat and seeking a sword." Su Qin smiled casually: "The flowing water has gone, and the state of mind is not the same as yesterday. How can we repeat the mistakes of yesterday with today's ambition? A good bird must choose a tree, but it must also be self-reliant. Chao Qin Mu Chu , will eventually destroy itself. I hope Qin Gong will forgive me if I am so stubborn." "Su Zi's heart is admirable!" Chi Liji admired sincerely, but then changed his tone: "However, the six countries are weak and in chaos. Su Zi knew it was impossible and did it. Isn't it the same as the old master Confucius who ran around and called for the well field system?" "This statement is absurd." Su Qin laughed and shook his head again and again: "Confucius moved against the trend of the times, how can he compare with Su Qin? In today's world, the seven great powers are not the princes of the old days, and each has the ambition to reform and strive for strength. The difference lies in whose reform is more thorough and comprehensive. At the moment, Qin State takes the lead. However, the tide is raging and the battle continues. How do you know that none of the six countries surpass Qin State? Yesterday's ambition: Su Qin intends to conquer Qin State The strength of the reform has turned into a great cause of unification! Today's ambition: Su Qin intends to spread the trend of reform to strengthen the six countries in Shandong, and compete with Qin! Today and yesterday, Su and Qin have no intention of restoring the old, but they can only make things happen while the time is right Aspirations, why do you know that you can’t do it?” "Good talk!" Chi Liji couldn't help applauding, and then sighed: "If the state of Qin has the talent to compete with Mr. Su, wouldn't Su Zi's dream come to naught in the end?" "Really?" Su Qin smiled slightly: " The Dao of the world, why are you afraid of confrontation? I recommend a person to Qin Guo, whose talent is enough to compete with Su Qin, what does the doctor think?" "Really?" "No lie." "Would like to hear the name." "Anyi Zhangyi." "Zhang Yi? Is this person still alive?" "Zhang Yi, the sky cannot die, and the earth cannot bury it! How can there be a question of life and death?" "Dare to ask: Where is Zhang Yi now?" "Qin Guo has already set his sights on Zhang Yi, and he is only looking for him, but?" "Su Zihuiyan, that's true." Chu Liji was frank and sincere. "Outside Anyi City, Sushui Valley, Zhang Family Guzhuang..." Suddenly, Su Qin's eyes became moist. "Su Zi, Chu Liji failed to convince you, but Chi Liji respects you, so let's leave." Chu Liji stood up, bowed solemnly, and quickly disappeared into the "door" that had been opened.Suddenly, a melancholy feeling as if something was lost surged up, and Su Qin felt empty in his heart.Although he rejected Qin's rebellion, he was still full of respect for the mind of Qin's monarchs and ministers.A country that can sincerely reflect on its own mistakes is the most powerful.Such a country can miss Rhinoceros and Su Qin, but it will never lose Zhang Yi again.They have come to their senses and have actually started to act.How much effort it takes to be able to break into yourself in such a mysterious way in the capital of South Korea!This is difficult for any Central Plains Warring States to do.It seems that I did not misread it at the beginning, the rise and strength of Qin is hard to stop.If there is Zhang Yi, the state of Qin will be even more different.Zhang Yi will bring his unique wisdom to this Western Warring States that has long been closed to the outside world and lacks experience in diplomatic relations and mediation, and will surely enable Qin to enter the great battlefield of the Central Plains with extraordinary momentum!At that time, Su Qin's joint venture will be even more difficult, and perhaps there is a possibility of failure.So, shouldn't Zhang Yi be recommended to Qin Guo?No!It should be recommended.In terms of personal success or failure, once Zhang Yi enters the Qin Dynasty, he must be his competitor. It is hard to predict who will win and who will lose.But in terms of the unification of the world that they all yearn for, their goal is the same, they are all determined to end the war in the world and make the Chinese ethnic group flourish and grow in a unified country.This is the introductory oath that the teacher made to the Zongheng faction at the beginning - Zonghenghe, the four seas are one!The teacher once earnestly warned: "There are different ways to do things, and the heart must be united. Otherwise, strategists will become deceitful." At the beginning, he and Zhang Yi chose the country that they thought was most suitable for them: Su Qinzhi was in Qin, Zhang Yizhi is in the Central Plains.After some wind and rain, their positions were reversed. Su Qin deployed in the Central Plains, but Zhang Yi wanted to enter Qin.All the disasters and twists and turns that happened during this period were beyond their expectation and could not be reversed. Perhaps, this is the "different path" that fate arranged for them.Fundamentally speaking, Zhang Yi's comeback is inevitable. If you don't recommend Su Qin, will Zhang Yi not come out?If that's the case, it would be an underestimation of Qin's ability to seek talents. "Shangqing, why worry too much, I have a good solution." Su Qin turned around, only to see the young master Zhao Sheng in a red cloak holding a long sword standing in the hall with a smile!Can't help laughing in surprise: "Odd! Didn't you fall asleep drunk?" "Knights of the Zhao Kingdom, drink three or four jars in leisure time, how can one jar of wine get me drunk?" Zhao Sheng showed a cunning that was not commensurate with his age Smiling: "I have already noticed such a small trick. I slept with Jing Yan, just to leave a gap for this black fat man to see what he does in it? To be honest, I also want to see Mr. Zhijie What about?" "My lord doesn't believe in Su Qin?" "No." Zhao Sheng shook his head: "Mr. is a joint strategist, and he is also a special envoy from Yanzhao. When will the Qin people not be seen? When will the Qin people not be able to instigate against Mr.? Blocking the secret envoy is like driving fish for the deep, and driving birds for the bush. If Mister’s ambition is not firm, it might be better to change early than later. Therefore, we only protect Mr.’s body and do not prevent him from contacting anyone. I don’t want Mr. to be so sincere, but Zhao Sheng admires him very much!” Su Qin couldn't help admiring: "My son is so young, but he has such insight, it's really impressive." Zhao Sheng made a flattered naughty face: "Hey, hey, this is what my elder brother taught me, and it has nothing to do with me." Su Qin Laughing: "Young Master just mentioned the cracking strategy, what do you want to crack?" "Mr. recommended Zhang Yi to Qin Guo, but he was clearly worried that Zhang Yi would become a powerful enemy, but?" Zhao Sheng suddenly became old and deep: "I will take care of this matter, but Zhang Yi will not be harmful." Su Qin laughed loudly. : "My son is not me, how do you know my heart?" "People have the same heart, and the same reason: how can you allow others to share your fame and great achievements?" Su Qin couldn't help being stunned, such a young man, yet so familiar with human nature?Can you explain your thoughts clearly to this noble son who grew up soaked in court killings and scrambles?After a long silence, Su Qin sighed: "Master, don't act rashly. Zhang Yi can only benefit He Zong. The mystery here cannot be seen clearly in a day." "Okay, but Mr. Yi will do it." Zhao Sheng The bright eyes flickered constantly. "Thank you, my lord." Su Qin said with a smile: "I will rush to Wei State tomorrow, will my lord succeed?" "As long as the husband is successful. Zhao Sheng only guarantees that the husband can see whoever he wants." After Zhao Sheng finished speaking, he smiled and went away.Looking at Zhao Sheng's red cloak, the shadows of Xi Liji and Zhang Yi suddenly appeared in Su Qin's heart. Outside the pick-up pavilion in the north of Xinzheng City, there is a resting business caravan parked.While the coachmen were busy feeding the horses, they set up hanging pots to cook.The motorcade, smoke from kitchen cooking, trees along the road and bustling people shouting and neighing completely blocked Shiting. Under the stone pavilion, Chi Liji and Young Master Ying Hua were having a secret conversation in a low voice.Xi Liji's mission of persuading Su Qin was not completed, but he had a close understanding and true respect for Su Qin.He didn't expect that Su Qin could recommend Zhang Yi to Qin to compete with him, and he didn't expect that Su Qin's judgment on Zhang Yi's whereabouts was so confident and clear.When I came back to tell Ying Hua, the young lady was also very surprised.When departing from Xianyang, Yinghua had already dispatched investigations to the places where Daliang and celebrities lived in seclusion, and had received reports one after another during the few days in Xinzheng, but there was no trace of Zhang Yi.Ying Hua was at a loss for a moment, lost his mind for a while, and was very excited when he heard what Chi Liji said, and decided to go to Hewai to investigate in person. What Chi Liji discussed with Ying Hua was: If Zhang Yi can be found, how can he move his mind?Did Chu Liji come here in person?Or let Ying Hua play by ear?Right now, Chi Liji must rush to stabilize the Qi State before Su Qin, so naturally he cannot rush to Hewai with Ying Hua.Although Ying Hua is a son-in-law who doesn't let her men down, and has excellent knowledge and skills, after all, she has never done such a big thing as seeking talents for the country.According to tradition, such matters should be personally acted upon by the monarch.The matter was so important that Ying Hua pondered for a while, which was quite different from his usual bright and decisive. "Let's do it this way." Chi Li waved his hand quickly: "If the situation is abnormal, you must not miss the good opportunity. Young Master, take the opportunity to make a decisive decision! If the situation is normal, if there is a chance, then move, if not, just wait until I come." "Okay! It's a deal." Ying Hua was confident, so he became happy, and raised his wine bowl: "The doctor has a heavy responsibility, so take care of yourself all the way." He drank it down. "That's all." Chi Li hurriedly raised his bowl and smiled, "In the long run, winning Zhang Yi is fundamental, and Qi is unreliable. What you have to do, son, is a big matter of buying a cat with a cloth bag. It's difficult. Let's do it!" Also drank it.Ying Hua chuckled: "Buy a cat with a cloth bag? How do you say that?" "If you don't know, just figure it out." Ying Hua couldn't help laughing: "Ah, I heard that Zhang Yi is so eloquent. If he knows how to be a cat, he won't spare you!" , I’ll take my leave.” “There will be a time later.” Ying Hua gave the same bow, and strode out of the stone pavilion. With a soft whistling, three fast horses rode onto the official road and galloped towards the outside of the river.After a while, the commercial travel team left the truck and driver behind, and a group of more than ten fast horses surrounded a cart, and also headed for the Northeast Avenue.
