Four hundred and twentieth chapters departed (2)

The sun gradually slanted westward, sprinkling through the windows in the study, mottled and warm.

Wei Liao's study was built in the shadow of the north, with six locust trees in front of the door blocking the sunshine in the south, which is a good place to escape the summer heat.

Carrying a bronze jar, Meng Tian poured a bowl of tea for Wei Liao, and the two sat opposite each other.

"I know the physical condition of the National Guard, but I am not as dizzy as my old eyes, so why did I resign in such a hurry?"

When the expulsion of the guests was in trouble, Meng Tian recovered Wei Liao under the moon, creating a chance for Wei Liao to meet Ying Zheng. Because of this, although the two did not walk around frequently, they did not seem unfamiliar when they spoke.

"Can General Meng remember what Tao Zhu Gong said to Wen Zhong?"

Wei Liao took a sip of tea and spoke softly.

"The birds are gone, and the good bows are hidden; the cunning rabbits die, and the lackeys are cooked. The King of Yue is a long-necked bird beak, and can share hardships with each other, and cannot share happiness."

Meng Tian conquered Shouying and obtained many books in the palace of Chu. The records left by the historians of Chu recorded Fan Li's original words. However, Meng Tian deeply doubted its authenticity for such historical materials.

Fan Li and Wen Zhong discussed in private, and what they said was extremely taboo. With Fan Li and Wen Zhong's prudence, they would not leave any evidence. Most of the records of historians were based on rumors.

"What do General Meng thinks about this?" Wei Liao said.

Meng Tian thought for a while and replied, "He is a talented man and a strategy. He knows the army without leading the troops. He has great strategies. Since the records of the Xia Dynasty, there has been no one who surpasses the current emperor."

Wei Liao opened his mouth wide: "I didn't expect that General Meng has such a high opinion of the current emperor."

The culture of China is born with the tradition of worshipping the ancients. When Confucians speak, they must trace back to the three generations and recite Yao and Shun. Legalists strongly advocate that people today are better than those of the ancients, but they still highly recommend Shang Tang and Zhou Wu between the lines.

Meng Tian's words completely elevated Ying Zheng's status.

"What the people of today do not understand, but in the long run, what the current generation does is to create a furnace to integrate the world and even lay the foundation for the Chinese people again."

Meng Tian's vision jumped out of the present and had a historian with a great history. In the long river of history, the Qin State led by Ying Zheng went east to Hangu and annexed the six Shandong countries, avoiding the long-term division of China as Europe.

King Wu of Zhou destroyed Shang and enfeoffed the heroes of the royal family as princes. When these heroes of the royal family spoke Zhou's language and wrote Zhou's words in their hands when they set out from Haojing.

When I arrived at the local area, I combined with the local people. After hundreds of years, my accent changed and my writing became strange. After the Spring and Autumn Period, many countries on the land of China gradually formed their own languages ​​and cultures.

Entering the Warring States Period, the seven heroes of the Warring States Period in the world gradually formed their own ethnic memories with their respective countries as the core.

Without the unification of Qin, the coexistence of the Warring States Period will continue, and it will undoubtedly become more difficult for the land of China to achieve complete unification.

The Central Plains took almost a thousand years to include it in the scope of Central Plains culture. The seven major Warring States countries in the Central Plains were melted by the same texts and carriages and tracks, and after rest and recuperation in the Han Dynasty, the true unity of the seven countries was completely completed in less than a hundred years.

"But what I am worried about is that there are too many things that I want to do in my heart, and human life has an end, so I can't help but be too impatient."

Wei Liao put away his smile, spread out the map on the table, and pointed to the territory of the Huns: "I have returned from a patrol in Longxi today. I have decided to use troops to the Huns, right?"

"That's right, two years later, the army will capture Henan." Meng Tian admitted readily.

As a national lieutenant, Wei Liao did not need to hide such a military and national plan.

"Two years, the time is still too short." Wei Liao sighed.

"When I was young, I traveled through Chu. When you were by Yunmeng Ze, there was a big snake. It could be as long as two feet long, and the snake body was thicker than a bucket. It was called "python". The python could swallow a cow and stretch its belly, which took three months to digest. At this time, if someone beats a big gong to drive away the python that swallows the body of the cow, the python rushed to escape, but finally broke its belly."

Wei Liao turned his head and looked south, falling into memories.

"The current Qin State is no different from the python that just swallowed the body of a cow. At this time, it is better to be quiet than to move. Be cautious when raising troops."

Wei Liao had long-term contact with Ying Zheng and could be called Ying Zheng's military teacher. Wei Liao naturally knew what kind of character Ying Zheng had.

"I will continue to serve as the National Guard and will inevitably persuade the emperor to stop using troops. Now that he is proud of his ambitions, he may not be sure of my advice. I hope you have said that those who start well do not have to end well. I will still be able to achieve this friendship between the king and the ministers after leaving now."

After listening to Wei Liao's words, Meng Tian was greatly impressed.

Smart people from all dynasties are not simple, so we should not underestimate the ancients. No wonder there was no news about Wei Liao after Qin unified the six kingdoms. It turned out that Wei Liao had long foreseeed that Ying Zheng's character of being very fond of merit was not unfavorable to stabilize the unification of Qin.

"The National Guard does not have to worry too much. Today, the emperor is not King Yue, and he will not kill the meritorious officials."

After Ying Zheng became emperor, all the important officials and generals under his command lived well. The Wang family, who had great achievements, had one family and two marquises, had great honor during their lifetime. After Wang Jian and Wang Ben died, Wang Li became a general and continued to fight for Qin and eventually died at the hands of Xiang Yu. In the past dynasties, few founding kings were comparable to Ying Zheng in their treatment of meritorious officials.

"General Meng is so sure?"

Wei Liao felt more and more surprised. Meng Tian had extraordinary trust in Ying Zheng.

"Today, people who are confident can suppress the situation."

In Meng Tian's view, the monarch's killing of meritorious officials means that the monarch's heart is afraid of the meritorious officials under his command. From the beginning to the end, Meng Tian did not feel any fear in Ying Zheng, and seemed to be in control.

Perhaps, this is the so-called domineering spirit.

"Since General Meng said that, I will return to my hometown with peace of mind."

The Xianyang court agreed on the merits, but Wei Liao's merits were not revealed in the clear place, and he only received the title created by Daliang. Ying Zheng did not treat Wei Liao badly, and the title was not raised. He gave Wei Liao a lot of compensation in terms of land, land and houses.

Most of the fertile land in Zhi County, Hedong County, was under Wei Liao's name.

"After I left, my disciple Wang Rong was determined to enter the officialdom, and I hope General Meng will take care of him."

Meng Tian received news that Qin Ting was preparing for the Taiwei Mansion. In the future, the National Wei will no longer enjoy the glory of Wei Liao when he was in office, but will become an official position under the Taiwei Mansion.

The candidate for the Taiwei has not been decided yet, but everyone thought that Wang Ben would serve as the Taiwei after returning to Xianyang. As a disciple of Wei Liao, Wang Rong had too obvious marks on his body and might not be valued by Wang Ben.
