Chapter 122: I once discussed Taoism with Confucius and the six disciples of Xunzi!
The laws of Qin were very strict.
Qin law covered all aspects.
To a certain extent, Qin was the only country among the seven states that ruled by law.
As for other countries, although they also have laws, their versions of laws are really too backward.
All countries basically followed the Zhou laws of the Spring and Autumn Period. There were many things not covered by the laws, so they relied on the "law of rules" to govern.
That is, law enforcement officers have all the power of interpretation and can even make judgments according to their personal preferences.
After all, the law does not have any provisions in this regard, and there is nothing wrong with making judgments according to the officials' ideas.
As a result, the painting styles of the other six countries and Qin were completely different.
In the other six countries, heroic knights and swordsmen can be seen everywhere, and all kinds of private fights are common, which is absolutely impossible to happen in Qin.
This country can be said to be a very grim country, even children lack some liveliness.
Therefore, with the appearance of Su Che, he became the leader of that group of noble sons in a short period of time.
Normally they wouldn't dare to get together and fool around, but now that there's Young Master Zheng as a leader, their parents allow them to play with him, which is why this situation has occurred.
Then there was a situation where the door of the prime minister of the time was blocked.
These kids all have broken butts, and there are generally two reasons for this.
The first one is: How dare you block the prime minister’s door, do you want to die?
The second one is: Why did you run away? Why didn't you follow behind Young Master Zheng to show him your loyalty and bravery? Are you afraid? Why didn't the two boys from the Mengwu family run away? Why did I give birth to a coward like you?
…
The next day, Su Che came to his teacher's residence. Bai Qi looked at him with a strange look in his eyes: "Did you really say to Fan Ju that I am not strong yet, and I will change when I grow strong?"
Su Che: “…”
Su Che was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "What kind of weird rumor is this? I clearly didn't say that."
"Then what did you say?" Bai Qi put down the military book.
Su Che roughly repeated what he said yesterday.
Bai Qi listened, shook his head, sighed, and then said with emotion: "Yes, such a simple truth, why doesn't he understand it?"
Su Che frowned, feeling that this sentence sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.
King Zhaoxiang of Qin also said this about Bai Qi...
Communication between people is obviously somewhat different.
What you think is a simple truth may be difficult for others to understand.
The conflicts that arise as a result can range from small quarrels between couples to large wars between countries.
Such situations are not uncommon. After all, most people think about themselves first. This is the norm in the world, and the things involved are extremely complicated.
"Let me see the jade pendant." Bai Qi interrupted Su Che's thoughts.
Su Che quickly handed the jade pendant to Bai Qi.
"It really is this jade pendant." Bai Qi said with a smile, "This is the jade pendant that the King of Qin gave to Fan Ju. It is said to be a precious item that has been handed down from ancient times to the present. I didn't expect Fan Ju to be willing to give it to you."
Having said this, Bai Qi returned the jade pendant to Su Che and said, "Carry it with you, don't lose it."
"Okay." Su Che nodded, thinking that this era is already ancient for future generations. When was the ancient time of this era?
Afterwards, Bai Qi’s small class was about to begin again.
Su Che listened carefully to Bai Qi's teachings.
This opportunity is rare, and not everyone has the God of Killing Bai Qi as his teacher.
Su Che has always been an unconventional person when it comes to warfare and has seldom received any systematic training.
He was self-taught and was very reckless in battle. He always led the troops and rushed to the front, gathering the momentum of thousands of troops. He was unstoppable and won every battle. This fighting style was probably similar to that of fierce generals like Xiang Yu and Lu Bu.
There is nothing that cannot be solved by gathering the strength of thousands of troops. If there is, then gather the strength of more people!
This is the simplest solution to war.
Obviously, Su Che's idea was rejected by Bai Qi as soon as it came to him.
Bai Qi narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Che, saying unhappily: "You are going to be a monarch in the future, how can you lead by example and do those things?"
"Even if you want to lead the army in person, you can't do that. This is absolutely not allowed."
"A gentleman knows his destiny and does not tread on dangerous ground, let alone a monarch?"
"The future of Qin depends on you alone. If you die, what will happen to Qin?"
Su Che naturally did not refute. If he continued to argue, he would inevitably be beaten...
Time passes by inadvertently.
Gradually, Su Che grew up a little.
He often took the sons of nobles out hunting.
The climate during this era was very warm.
Therefore, even in the Qin State, there were many jackals, tigers and leopards.
Don't ever think that the area of Shaanxi where the old Qin people lived was remote and had many loess slopes like in later generations.
Many loess plateaus in later generations are now covered with forests.
This era was almost the warmest time for the entire East Asian civilization.
In some swampy areas, there are many rhinos, elephants, and crocodiles.
It can be said that the climate environment is completely different from that of later generations.
Su Che has always wanted to get an elephant as a mount.
He even wanted to form an elephant cavalry.
When a group of elephant cavalry charge forward, it would be like the sky is falling and the earth is collapsing. The scene would be extremely terrifying.
Unfortunately, although imagination is beautiful, the reality is very cruel. Elephants have a huge weakness in their habits - they are timid and easily frightened.
Once an elephant is frightened, it will not be able to distinguish between friend and foe, and a big mess can easily occur.
It is precisely because of this that there was no such thing as cavalry in ancient times.
Although there are advantages, the disadvantages are too obvious.
After the hunting for the day, Su Che brought his prey, a black bear and a deer, to Bai Qi's residence.
In fact, he hunted more than these prey, but the rest were distributed to those who did not hunt any prey.
Although Su Che is not very old, he is born with supernatural powers. In addition, he is also very good at riding and archery.
He was only six years old, but he could already easily pull the twelve-stone strong bow. With just one arrow, he pinned the blind bear to the ground, and with another arrow, he killed it directly.
It was so powerful that not only the sons of nobles following behind Su Che, but even the armored guards accompanying him could not help but stare wide-eyed, completely shocked by the scene before them.
Young Master Zheng is truly mighty and powerful!
Coupled with the frequent distribution of meat, this made Su Che completely become the leader of this group of noble children and the monarch they were determined to follow. They would not be like a few years ago, when they would instantly scatter like birds and beasts at the slightest sign of trouble.
If there is another door-blocking incident, this group of people will not run away.
now.
When Su Che brought the meat to visit his teacher, Bai Qi's face seemed a little older than a few years ago.
After so many years on the battlefield, his body developed various problems.
Bai Qi is like a string that is always taut. There are no problems at ordinary times, but once he relaxes, problems often arise.
Seeing the teacher like this, Su Che felt a little uncomfortable.
A generation of killing god, now old and no longer as majestic as before, it is really sad to see such a heroic moment come to an end.
Bai Qi is old, can he still eat?
"Master, I hunted another blind bear, so I can eat bear paws again today." Su Che said with a smile.
"Didn't I tell you to stop wasting your time on material things? Why are you going hunting again?" Bai Qi frowned, seeming a little unhappy.
"I have read all the books in Qin State. There are really no books to read, so I can only go hunting." Su Che said honestly.
Bai Qi raised his eyebrows. If Su Che had said this before, he might have scolded him. How could he possibly finish reading so many books? There were still no books to read? This was ridiculous!
But ever since Su Che defeated several great men in debate, what he said seemed to be true. He was a genius with innate knowledge, and there was no one in the Qin State who could debate with him.
Bai Qi narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "Master Zichu is going to travel around the countries, you can go with him."
"Ah?" Su Che was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "Why does father want to travel around the world?"
Bai Qi glanced at him and continued, "Your father is not an ordinary person. He knows that although he has secured the position of the crown prince, it will be difficult to convince the public if he does not do something."
"Besides, he also has his own ambitions..."
"After the Qin army withdrew from Handan, Wei Wuji, who had come up empty-handed, naturally was unwilling to just let Qin recover and recuperate."
"For the six countries, Qin, with its fierce army, is a thorn in their side."
"So, under Wei Wuji's organization, they have begun preparing for an alliance to attack Qin."
"I don't remember exactly how many times this has happened, but they have once again joined forces to attack Qin."
"At this time, what Prince Zichu wants to do is to stir up the six countries and cause disputes among them, so that they will not want to attack Qin, and let Qin rest and recuperate in peace."
Su Che was stunned after hearing these words. His father, who later became King Zhuangxiang of Qin, was not a simple person. In most people's eyes, he was just an ordinary person who was lucky enough to give birth to a son, Qin Shihuang.
But in fact, from the very beginning, Lu Buwei invested in him, thinking that he was a "rare commodity" and spent a huge price to make a political investment in him.
And he lived up to expectations and quickly gained Madam Huayang's approval.
After he ascended the throne, he perfectly handled the relationship between Lady Huayang and his biological mother without causing any conflicts. At the same time, his governance was also very smooth, which shows that his skills were extraordinary.
but.
In this world, although Lü Buwei's investment was still going smoothly, there was obviously a small problem...
Su Che made a name for himself right away. He was first recognized by King Zhaoxiang of Qin, and then he became Bai Qi's disciple. He did not ruin his relationship with Fan Ju, and later he became the leader of the children of meritorious officials. In Xianyang, his fame was much greater than that of his father.
Compared to his father, Su Che is more like the crown prince.
Under such circumstances, Qin Zichu also wanted to demonstrate his abilities, so he decided to travel around the countries and break up the six countries' coalition to attack Qin.
It is very difficult to say this, but it is also quite easy to say it is easy.
On the surface, the six countries were all allies and younger brothers of the Zhou emperor, but in fact they all had their own ulterior motives. Even though they were forced to form an alliance under the power of Qin, they still made a lot of small moves behind the scenes.
Not to mention the conflicts between the six countries, even within the vassal states, there are various factions that are constantly fighting against each other. The only thing that can unite them is to work together to destroy Qin!
Don’t ask why they all wanted to destroy Qin. This is the fundamental conflict and contradiction.
Qin is a country of tigers and wolves, and the world has suffered from Qin for a long time!
Under Wei Wuji's continuous organization, the six countries, which had been arguing with each other for several years, were about to complete their cooperation.
What Qin Zichu wanted to do was not to break the alliance of the six countries at once, but to delay the time of forming the alliance as much as possible.
As long as we can buy Qin a little more time, even if it's just one or two years, that would be good.
Since the Battle of Changping and the Battle of Handan, Qin's national strength has been almost exhausted and its vitality has been severely damaged. It can no longer continue to be mired in the quagmire of war.
For the Qin State, whose national strength is severely damaged at this stage, crushing any vassal state is not a problem, but fighting one against six will still be a problem.
In fact, the Qin State had already been trying to obstruct the alliance of the six nations.
Otherwise, the six countries would not have been arguing until now.
But as time goes by.
Even if those strategists tried every possible means, they really couldn't delay it any longer.
In this case, someone more important will have to come forward.
It was obviously extremely inappropriate to let Prince Zhu, the Prince of An Guojun, do this matter. After all, King Zhaoxiang of Qin was already old, and as the crown prince, it was impossible for him to do such a thing.
But there would be no problem if his son, Qin Yiren, did it.
He is the crown prince, very important, yet so crucial.
Even if it put themselves in danger, the six countries did not dare to act against him easily.
Otherwise, the result would be the destruction of the country! Bai Qi is still alive!
"I understand." Su Che nodded seriously, not caring about the risks at all.
"I will place all my retainers and loyal soldiers around you." Bai Qi smiled and said seriously, "When you go to the six kingdoms, you can find those great sages. Don't worry that they will refuse. They should be eager to debate with you."
"Your reputation has spread throughout the nations long before this."
"When you go to the six kingdoms, take a look at the terrain of each place, the defense of each pass, and the waterways in those places. In addition, you can also see the local customs and practices. This will be of great help to your future military deployment and governance."
"Theory is just theory after all. I don't want you to become the second Zhao Kuo..."
Su Che listened carefully to Bai Qi's instructions and did not say anything. He certainly would not become the second Zhao Kuo, but even so, he did not refute anything.
soon.
Su Che and his father set off on the journey, heading east, first to the neighboring country of Han. Since Shangdang County was occupied by Qin, the entire country of Han had lost half of its land.
Compared with the other six countries, South Korea was a small country with a tiny territory. It could only play both sides. When Qin State marched eastward, you could pass through my land at will. When the coalition forces of the vassal states attacked Qin, they also let it pass through at will. With such treacherous behavior, it barely survived.
Throughout the Warring States Period, South Korea has always played a role of insignificance, without any highlight moments.
Wei State dominated for the first hundred years, and Zhao State was also a powerful country with its own unique style of wearing Hu clothes and riding and shooting. It also fought the Battle of Changping with Qin State that determined the fate of the world. In addition, Qi State and Chu State were powerful countries for a long time. Even the weak Yan State had its glorious moment of leading the five countries to attack Qi.
Only South Korea has nothing worth mentioning.
Originally, South Korea had always wanted to be a traitor, but unfortunately, the Qin State later discovered this and decided that it could not allow South Korea to continue being a traitor, otherwise it would be very uncomfortable. This led to the current tragic situation.
After staying in Han for a short while, Su Che continued to move eastward and arrived in Wei.
Continuing on in Wei, Su Che came to the Qin territory - Tao County.
This place, separated by the State of Han, is located in the heart of the State of Wei, but it is the territory of the State of Qin. This is a very strange thing.
This was the richest place in the world and the economic center during the Spring and Autumn Period. Its status was roughly equivalent to that of Shanghai in later generations.
In later generations, this place became the "center of the universe" Heze, where Cao County, Heze, Shandong is located.
Going further back, Fan Li, who called himself "Tao Zhu Gong", made his fortune in this area after escaping from the State of Yue.
Previously, this was the land of Song.
Early years.
Qi, Chu, Wei, Zhao and Han joined forces to attack Qin.
However, while dealing with Qin, Qi, Zhao and Wei were also fiercely competing for Song. In the end, the land was divided into three parts, and Qi got Taoyi.
Later, as Qi became stronger, the five states of Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei and Qin joined forces to attack Qi. Qin first captured Tao and made it the fief of Wei Ran, the prime minister of Qin. After Wei Ran's death, Qin established Tao County.
In the original history, Xinling Jun stole the seal to save Zhao and repel Qin, and the King of Wei would take the opportunity to occupy this place.
But now, because of Su Che's appearance, Xinling Jun came to nothing and failed to defeat the Qin army.
Because of his fear of the powerful Qin State, the King of Wei did not dare to attack Taoyi in his heartland.
When the crown prince Qin Yiren arrived in this area, he was immediately warmly received by the county governor.
And Su Che also felt the prosperity here after a short stay.
Continuing eastward, Su Che arrived in Qi State, which was also one of the destinations of Su Che's trip.
Qin Zichu has his mission, and Su Che has his mission. The two do not interfere with each other and each has his own goals.
There was an academy in Linzi, the capital of Qi State, named Jixia Academy, which was the best academy in the world.
During its heyday, the Jixia Academy accommodated almost all schools of thought among the "Hundred Schools of Thought", among which the main ones were Taoism, Confucianism, Legalism, Nominalism, Military Science, Agriculture, Yin-Yang, and Lightness and Heaviness.
During its heyday, the Jixia Academy brought together about a thousand wise men from all over the world, including famous scholars such as Mencius, Chunyu Kun, Zou Zi, Tian Pian, Shen Zi, Shen Zi, Jie Zi, Ji Zhen, Juan Zi, etc.
The person currently serving as Jijiu (chief academician) at the Jixia Academy, which is also the head of the academy, is the famous Xunzi!
Among Xunzi's disciples, there were several talented and capable people who could influence the world.
Han Fei, Li Si, Gongsun Ni.
In addition, there are Mao Heng, Fu Qiubo, Lu Jia, Zhang Cang...
As Su Che came to Linzi, Qi State, and arrived at the Jixia Academy, the students in the academy were all very curious about this young man who was born with knowledge, and they came over to watch the fun.
There were crowds of people and discussions were heard one after another. Su Che's arrival was a big event. Almost all the students who could come to the academy came, and even some lecturers were a little curious.
Soon, in the academy, Su Che met the legendary Xunzi. He bowed earnestly and said, "Student Zheng, nice to meet Xunzi."
Xunzi looked at the child in front of him and asked with a smile: "Are you the famous and gifted young Master Zheng?"
"That's right." Su Che replied.
"It is said that you are born with knowledge, but do you know where that knowledge comes from?" Xunzi asked casually.
"It's just awakening my innate wisdom, that's all." Su Che said.
Xunzi could be considered a materialist, but upon hearing this, he could not help but continue to ask: "What I mean is, who did you communicate with for this wisdom? And how did you learn it?"
Su Che smiled calmly and said, "I once discussed the Dao with Confucius..."
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing a thousand waves. All the students were shocked and the scene suddenly became chaotic. No one had expected that this young master Zheng had actually discussed Taoism with Confucius!
How is this possible? Are you kidding me???
Among the crowd, Han Fei, Li Si, Zhang Cang, Lu Jia, and Fu Qiubo all looked at the young master Zheng in surprise after hearing this.
Several people have heard a lot of legends about him, but most of them are false rumors, rather mysterious and should not be taken seriously.
However, hearing this in person, I was truly shocked.
Xunzi narrowed his eyes slightly, but was not shocked. Instead, he continued to ask, "Is there any record in history books?"
"Not yet." Su Che shook his head.
"Empty words?" Xunzi asked.
"No evidence at all!" Su Che nodded calmly.
"You are so frank that you actually say there is no evidence at all. If that's the case, then this matter cannot be trusted." Xunzi shook his head and said.
"That can't be falsified either." Su Che said casually.
"It cannot be falsified..." Xunzi heard these almost rogue words, but suddenly felt that it was not that simple.
He frowned and thought for a while, then finally nodded and muttered in his own voice: "It is indeed unfalsifiable. It may be true, or it may be false... How to solve it?"
Su Che heard Xunzi's voice and said casually: "Whoever advocates, shall provide evidence."
"Whoever advocates, shall provide evidence?" Xunzi's eyes lit up when he heard this. He smiled and said, "That's right. Whoever advocates, shall provide evidence. Do you have any evidence?"
"The method of providing evidence is very simple. I would like to take turns with you, sir. Is that possible?" Su Che looked at Xunzi and asked seriously.
"Of course you can." Xunzi asked, "What do you want to discuss?"
"In today's world, is it better to divide or unite?" Su Che asked seriously, "If it is to divide, how to divide, if it is to unite, how to unite?"
To unify and unite this Warring States world filled with countless hatreds is much more difficult than the Spring and Autumn Period during Fan Li's time. In the Spring and Autumn Period, there were not such great differences and hatreds between the vassal states, but this Warring States period is not that simple.
If Su Che started by discussing "How to resolve conflicts after the unification of the world", it would be too shocking. Then everyone in the world would know that his young master Zheng had the ambition to swallow up the world.
So, if we discuss this in a more tactful way, it will provide a fig leaf.
"The young master is ambitious." Xunzi stared at Su Che and immediately saw through Su Che's deep thoughts.
"But... this question is too big, I don't want to discuss it."
To Su Che's surprise, Xunzi slowly shook his head and refused.
Su Che was somewhat stunned. He frowned, thought for a while, and said again: "Then let's discuss atheism in religion, materialism in academia, democracy in politics, and economic freedom."
Su Che's words directly summarized Xunzi's ideas, which surprised Xunzi. He looked at him in surprise: "Do you really want to discuss this?"
These questions are all within Xunzi's academic field.
This is his summary of the theoretical achievements of the Hundred Schools of Thought and his own academic thoughts.
Debate with him on this field…If you want to listen to the lecture, just say so!
However.
What Xunzi never expected was that Su Che became extremely aggressive as soon as he opened his mouth!
Su Che said: "I have read your book. Your materialism is too simplistic, your politics is a bit naive, and your laissez-faire approach to the economy is not a long-term solution."
Xunzi's materialism comes from Mozi.
In addition, Xunzi’s democracy is not the same concept as democracy in later generations.
The democracy he advocated is that the people are the most important, the country is second, and the monarch is the least important. This is Mencius' theory.
In Xunzi's view, the relationship between the ruler and the people is like the relationship between a boat and water. He believes that "water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it." Therefore, if a ruler wants to bring peace to the world, the most important thing is to "govern the country fairly and love the people." When people unite, their power is infinite.
The advocacy of economic freedom also came from Mencius, who opposed the monarch's exploitation of the people through "heavy collection of swords and cloth", "heavy taxes on fields" and "harsh levies at customs and markets".
now.
As soon as these words came out, Xunzi frowned and looked at Su Che seriously.
Then, the two of them started debating directly.
This debate lasted for three days and three nights.
In the academy, countless students listened with great fascination.
No one had expected that there would be someone who could debate with a great sage like Xunzi, and for such a long time. The most surprising thing was that the person who could debate for such a long time was actually a child.
The young master Zheng who was born with knowledge as rumored.
The legend... turned out to be true.
There is no doubt that this debate with Xunzi made Su Che famous and earned him the admiration of countless students in the academy.
Afterwards, Su Che earnestly invited Xunzi's students, hoping that they could become his followers.
At this moment, Xunzi has six disciples under his command.
Li Si, Han Fei, Gongsun Ni, Fuqiu Gong, Lu Jia, and Zhang Cang.
There were only three people who agreed to serve as Su Che's attendants, namely Li Si, Han Fei, and Zhang Cang.
Of Xunzi's six disciples, Su Che only got three. Although it was a bit regrettable, there was nothing he could do about it.
Su Che was already quite content. These three were all first-rate ruthless men.
Needless to say, Li Si was the future prime minister of Qin, and Han Fei was later called Han Feizi. Li Si was jealous of Han Fei's talent and was afraid that Han Fei would replace him, so he directly poisoned him.
And Zhang Cang is an even bigger boss. Not only is he highly capable, but he also lives a long life.
Among the three, Han Fei has the highest talent, Li Si has the strongest practical ability, and although Zhang Cang is the most mediocre, he is a potential stock who can develop slowly.
As soon as he became Su Che's servant, Han Fei explained his ideas to Su Che and showed Su Che the articles he had written before.
They are: "Solitary Anger", "Five Vermin" and "Inner Storage Theory".
These articles were all the result of Han Fei's painstaking efforts. Su Che couldn't help but be amazed when he read them one by one.
To a certain extent, Han Fei was indeed a talented person whose thoughts were highly consistent with those of Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng.
Such a talented person, because of his average eloquence, was not valued by the King of Qin at the first time, and was later poisoned to death by Li Si. It was such a pity.
The so-called lonely and indignant means loneliness and indignation.
In this article, Han Fei expressed his indignation towards reality with a feeling of loneliness.
He asked in his article:
Why do nations weaken and eventually collapse?
Why do some people receive support from the world but erode the foundation of the country?
Why do those who make laws for the world regard the laws as their enemies?
Han Fei believed that the collapse of each dynasty was not caused by natural disasters, but by man-made disasters. It was the man-made disasters that led to the rigidity of the system, which in turn led to the collapse of order.
In short, the nobles annexed the land and found ways to evade taxes, while the people became slaves of the nobles. Their income was not enough to pay taxes, so the country became increasingly poor and the people's lives became increasingly difficult.
But the problem is that after the nobles have eaten up the people, they start to eat up the country’s interests. They are like greedy termites, eating away at the foundation of a country!
However, they appeared to be selfless, keeping retainers and spreading their reputation throughout the world, but making the people more ignorant and selfish.
Those who make the laws are not the ones who abide by them, which makes the people feel very confused.
The collapse of the world originates from here.
Whenever you reach a point where you have nowhere else to go, there is only one way left: reform!
Only by reforming the law can everything be restored to balance.
But the problem is that these reforms are difficult to implement.
The court's decrees often prohibited the nobles from exploiting the people and restored the balance of means of production.
However, these laws and regulations changed completely when they reached the hands of local officials.
In the hands of those who enforced them, these decrees became, they acted as exploiters.
In the past, the nobles exploited the people, and now it is the officials who exploit the people!
Not only do they exploit the common people, they also exploit the nobles!
After all, the money obtained through reform can not only make oneself rich, but also become a first-class "political achievement" after being handed over!
This has also happened to many reforms in history. Although they seem perfect and there is nothing wrong with them in theory, when it comes to actual implementation, problems of one kind or another always arise.
In addition, all those who carried out reforms in history were essentially doing so for the good of the country, but in the end it was difficult for them to have a good ending. Where did the mistake go in the process?
When Han Fei thought about the situation clearly, he felt unprecedented loneliness and indignation, and thus wrote such an article!
This article vividly describes Han Fei's anger about the current state of the country.
Su Che looked at it carefully, and for a moment he felt like he had found a treasure.
It was not because of this article, but because I was happy to have such a talented person like Han Fei.
While Su Che was reading these articles carefully, Li Si, who was standing beside him, looked at Han Fei with obvious envy and jealousy in his eyes.
Zhang Cang glanced at Han Fei lazily, then at Li Si, and said nothing.
At the same time, on the other side, Qin Zichu's plan to alienate the vassal states was also going very smoothly, and he successfully obstructed the progress of the coalition forces of the vassal states.
The carriage creaked as it moved forward across the lands of the six kingdoms, and finally returned safely to Qin.
Su Che brought back three talents. He chose Han Fei as the primary, Li Si as the secondary, and Zhang Cang as the auxiliary. With such a clear distinction between the primary and the secondary, there was no need to worry about Li Si poisoning Han Fei.
Although he was jealous of Han Fei's talent, he was not a fool. In another parallel world, he was the prime minister and could poison Han Fei who had just arrived. But now, Han Fei was treated much better than him, so how could he dare to do it?
If he really dared to do it, he would be doomed to die.
As time goes by.
Su Che also gradually grew up.
This year.
The six-nation alliance was finally reached.
The armies of the six countries jointly attacked Qin, but they obviously missed the best opportunity. After several years of recuperation, Qin had recovered a lot of its vitality.
Facing the coalition forces of the six nations, Bai Qi brought Su Che, as well as two generals Wang He and Meng Ao, and young generals Wang Jian and Meng Wu, to form the Qin Dynasty's fierce men's team to fight against the coalition forces of the six nations.
In the previous life, this war was a great victory for the coalition forces, but this time, it was obviously different.
The presence of Bai Qi put tremendous pressure on the armies of the six countries. Both the generals and the soldiers subconsciously touched their necks and heads.
To fight against Bai Qi, a head-crazy demon, one must first consider whether one's neck is strong or not...
This battle took place in Hanoi, so it is also called the Battle of Hanoi.
Historically, this battle was led by Wei Wuji, a coalition force of five countries including Wei, Zhao, Han, Chu and Yan, to attack Qin in the west.
First, the Qin army was defeated and retreated, and the coalition forces chased them outside the river and surrounded them.
Xinling Jun personally braved the arrows and stones and led the charge.
The morale of the entire army was greatly boosted and they immediately followed the charge.
The Qin camp was in chaos, and Meng Ao was forced to retreat westwards as he was attacked from all sides.
The coalition forces took advantage of the victory to attack Hangu Pass, and the Qin army was defeated and could not defend itself. After several months of stalemate, the coalition forces withdrew.
In this war, Xinling Jun successfully defeated Qin and recovered the lost territory in Guandong.
This battle dealt a heavy blow to the Qin State and hindered its pace of unification.
Xinling Jun also reached the peak of his life. Various countries sent envoys to learn military tactics from him, which was later called "The Art of War of Prince Wei".
But this time.
Xinling Jun's opponent is no longer Meng Ao, but Bai Qi...
In addition, in the previous Battle of Handan, the Qin army did not get bogged down in the quagmire and was not seriously damaged, so even if the six countries joined forces to attack Qin, Bai Qi was still not afraid.
In the tent of the Qin army's commander.
The flame was burning in the basin, making crackling sounds from time to time.
Bai Qi was looking at the hung map. He was looking at it very seriously, as if he had already deduced the countless possibilities of this war in his mind.
After a while, he looked back at Su Che beside him, smiled faintly and said: "After this battle, if we can win a great victory, it will only be a matter of time before Qin conquers the six kingdoms."
It’s very simple. One against six and still able to win. Who in the world dares to compete with the Qin State?
Su Che nodded and was about to say something when Bai Qi's expression suddenly became a little depressed and he slowly shook his head.
"But I probably won't be able to see that scene..."
"I can't wait until you, my disciple, take power."
Su Che blinked, he knew what Bai Qi was worried about.
King Ji of Qin has not died yet, although he doesn't have much chance of living. But the problem is that even if King Ji of Qin dies, Crown Prince Zhu will succeed to the throne.
Crown Prince Zhu died, and Su Che's father Zichu succeeded to the throne.
One has to wait until Zichu dies before Su Che can succeed to the throne.
How long will this take?
Three generations!
Bai Qi believed that he would never be able to wait until that time, and he would never live to see Su Che succeed to the throne.
"Who knows what will happen in the future? Master, there is no need to be so pessimistic. When I succeed to the throne, I will still need you to be my prime minister." Su Che said with a smile.
After hearing this, Bai Qi burst into laughter. He was amused by Su Che's naivety. How could he live to that time?
To take a step back, even if he lived to that time, he would not be able to serve as prime minister to Su Che, because he would be too old to walk and probably could not even speak clearly. How could such a person be a prime minister?
At this moment, even Bai Qi, who was as good as a prophet, could never have imagined that after King Zhaoxiang of Qin died, Crown Prince Zhu succeeded to the throne and observed mourning for a whole year to show his filial piety.
After the one-year mourning period was over, he had been king for only three days before he died.
It was only three years after Crown Prince Qin Zichu ascended the throne that Su Che succeeded to the throne.
At that time, Su Che will face the extremely powerful Lu Buwei. After Lu Buwei supported Qin Zichu to become King Zhuangxiang of Qin, he was appointed as prime minister, granted the title of Marquis Wenxin, and given a fief of 100,000 households in Luoyang, Henan.
It can be said that Lu Buwei’s political investment was very successful, and he was extremely powerful for a time.
But Lu Buwei never dreamed that King Zhuangxiang of Qin would die three years later.
And what he will face next is no longer a Ying Zheng who will respectfully address him as "Zhongfu"...
Instead, he has Bai Qi as his teacher, Han Fei, Li Si, and Zhang Cang as his servants, Meng Tian, Meng Yi, Wang Jian as his good brothers, and Prince Zheng who is supported by a group of powerful people!
At this point in time, Lu Buwei did not care about this young prince Zheng, because in his opinion, by the time the young prince Zheng succeeded to the throne, Bai Qi would have been dead long ago, and he would have basically firmly grasped the power of the Qin State in his hands!
What is there to be afraid of?
Sometimes, Su Che couldn't help but think:
Lu Buwei, oh Lu Buwei, when I succeed to the throne, I will translate for you what a surprise is, what a fucking surprise is!
Bai Qi naturally didn't know all this, as he was already thinking about another problem.
"Disciple, tell me, if we catch Xinling Jun Wei Wuji in a few days, should we kill him?"
