Chapter 138 Gou Fugui

The grass grows and the eagle flies, and the frontier land is far less than the ones that later generations of literary people.

The sky is vast and the wilderness is vast. The wind blows the grass and sees cattle and sheep...

Above the Great Wall, from afar, the land of Hetao, the abundant water and grass, the Huns grazed freely, and cattle and sheep were everywhere, making a harmonious and beautiful paradise.

Near the Great Wall, there are still many plump grasslands. The herders of Qin State opened up pastures here.

The Great Wall winds and stands on the hilltops, but the Great Wall is not the real national border between the Qin and the Huns. The actual national border extends to the grassland outside the Great Wall.

The conflicts between border areas were largely caused by herders between the two countries. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu and Chu might have fought because of mulberry fields. Fighting between Qin and Hungary because of pastures has not happened before.

"Since General Meng came, he came out to herd sheep, and he felt much more relieved!"

"No, you didn't see the Huns, and when you saw us, you avoided them from afar."

"The Hu people are Hu people. If the knife is exposed, they dare not come!"

······

The herdsmen in Shangjun rode on their horses, waved their whips, and turned around to see the soldiers in black, patrolling the Great Wall back and forth, and felt more confident.

Before breaking the Nu Pass, two new fortresses rose from the ground. If the Huns invade, it would be easier for them to evacuate and get the support of the Qin army.

The herders on the grassland are not just herders, but serve as the reconnaissance militia of the Qin army.

"This year the Huns shouldn't come to rob each other again."

The new Shangjun County Magistrate Bu Xing took over the Huns' information handed over by Meng Tian, ​​and thought that this year's autumn harvest would be carried out normally.

"The trade between Qin and Huns was smooth, and the Huns could obtain Qin's materials through trade, so the desire to rob was naturally not that strong."

Meng Tian and Bu Xing exchanged ideas on dealing with the Huns and broadened Bu Xing's thinking: "The Huns were low in productivity and shortage of supplies. Many Hun tribes could only use stone pots to make fires and cook. If the trade was not smooth and the transaction cost was too high, the Huns would be keen on looting. In the future, the county magistrate's office would treat merchants who went to the grassland as long as they did not sell prohibited materials, they would not be too harsh."

Among these merchants, some of them were spies from the Qin army, Meng Tianxin said.

“Trade is really that powerful?”

Bu Xing had heard of the trade war from Meng Tian's mouth. Meng Tian also said that this was what he learned from Guanzi. Confucius highly praised Guanzi, but Confucians seemed to respect Guanzi's book but they didn't seem to be grateful to Guanzi.

"Surrender into the night with the wind, moistening things silently. Trade is like spring rain, silently, and can calm the Huns."

Why did the Huns rob and continue to rob?

The lack of materials and the Central Plains countries restricted trade channels. The Huns' eyes were filled with energy in the Central Plains' products, and the plundering had motivation.

"Mr. is in the county magistrate's office, and I hope to do my best to maintain the smooth flow of the business road leading to the grassland in Shangjun!"

Bu Xing left, full of thoughts. The more he experienced, the more he felt that everything was full of knowledge.

Leading the army and fighting is a science, and governing politics and the people is a science. Now there are some tricks in doing business. It seems that just studying Confucian classics is far from enough.

When he had time, he would study Guanzi well. Bu Xing realized that his knowledge was getting more and more complicated, and Zixia's lineage had not accepted Confucian fundamentalism.

In governing the country, you cannot believe in one kind of thought or one kind of ideology!

Seeing Bu Xing's thought pool becoming more and more mixed and various thoughts blended, Meng Tian's heart was full of expectations.

One day, can Bu Xing integrate hundreds of schools of thought, take the essence and remove the dross, and develop a unique idea of ​​governing the country?

Woo ——, the wind is blowing.

A few leaves swayed in the wind and floated across the courtyard.

The weather seems to be getting colder.

The leaves disappeared, and Jing Su's figure appeared at the entrance of the courtyard.

"What happened?"

Now, as the intelligence leader around Meng Tian, ​​Jing Su is a person like Dai Li and Li Kenong. As long as he appears, there will be any news.

"The Qin State's plan to unite with Yan State and attack Zhao State from the east and west is ruined."

"What's going on?"

Meng Tian frowned. Qin and Yan had always had a good relationship. Yan State lost its troops and generals at the hands of Zhao State, and almost lost its capital. With the narrow personality of Yan State, he would not take revenge.

Qin did not reveal his idea of ​​destroying Zhao. At this time, Zhao State had Li Mu in charge of the overall situation, and the court was stable, and there was no sign of destruction at all.

"It's bad to Prince Dan..."

As Jing Su told the story, Meng Tian understood the whole story of the Prince Dan incident.

After Ji Dan arrived at the capital of Qin Xianyang, Ying Zheng was very happy and held a banquet to entertain his childhood friends at Xianyang Palace. Ying Zheng had few friends. Meng Tian was once one, but after taking power, the relationship between the two became closer and closer to the monarch and ministers.

Only Ji Dan, who is the crown prince of Yan State, has no identity barriers between the two.

Ying Zheng thought so, but Ji Dan didn't think so.

The boy from Handan back then has now become the king of Qin, and Ji Dan couldn't fully adapt to his mood. Think about it, the boy who played mud in the countryside was not full and could not wear warm clothes, thanks to Ji Dan's alms. But unexpectedly, when he met again, he became the superior King of Qin, but he became a humiliating proton.

When Zhao State was a polite, Ji Dan was still young and his feelings were not that strong. But when he stood under the steps of Xianyang Palace and looked up at Ying Zheng on the palace platform, he felt the dissatisfaction of being a proton.

As the crown prince of Yan State and Ying Zheng's child, Ji Dan had to join forces with Yan State to send troops together.

The welcome banquet of Qin State was full of sincerity, with beautiful palace maids and mellow wine, and the ministers of Qin State took turns to serve and offered wine attentively.

As he drank, Ji Dan got drunk.

His alcohol tolerance was not very good, and he felt even worse in this situation. After drinking a few more glasses, he became confused.

At the wine table, it doesn’t matter if you are drunk, but you are afraid that the drunk people will not be able to stop the wine words in your mouth.

After Ji Dan got drunk, his eyes were blurred. Looking around, wasn’t the guy sitting on the seat the same as the boy from the streets of Handan before?

"Zhao Zheng..." Ji Dan hiccupped and spoke.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, the smile on Ying Zheng's face suddenly froze. The ministers under him all wanted to cover their ears.

Although the Zhao family was born under the surname Ying, the Qin and Zhao family were the same parents hundreds of years ago, but after so many generations, their relationship was so weak that it could not be as thin as it was.

Ying Zheng's life in Handan was never easy. The name Zhao Zheng brought Ying Zheng's memory was never beautiful either.

Ying Zheng is now very glamorous as the King of Qin, but he is unwilling to mention the old things he has in Handan.

However, there are some things that Ying Zheng was unwilling to mention, but Ji Dan didn't open the pot of the pot.

"I remember when I was in Handan, you couldn't eat enough or wear warm clothes. If I hadn't helped me-" Ji Dan stretched out his finger, pointed at himself, and said loudly: "Hehe, you're just afraid you'll become a beggar on the streets of Handan! In order to change to a liter of rice, Zhao Ji, tsk......"
