Qin Official

Chapter 317 The six kings are finished!

After Hei Fu shouted several times, Yang Xiong finally recognized that the minister wearing a crown on his head was actually his former subordinate, Hei Fu, the commander of the small village...

At that time, Yang Xiong relied on the support of his father to enlist in the army as a Langguan. After completing the battle to destroy Wei, he became a public official. In the next few battles, he jumped three ranks to Zuo Shuchang, and then entered Xianyang and became the "Weinan Sima" of the Weiwei Army, leading three thousand troops.

But Heifu was just a non-update at that time, and the speed of his rise was really astonishing. However, Yang Xiong also heard about Heifu's capture of Xiang Yan's military flag and his southern expedition to Yuzhang, covering thousands of miles. Judging from this attitude, he was appreciated by the King of Qin and was about to join the court as a Langguan.

Being on an equal footing with his former subordinates, Yang Xiong felt a little complicated, but he was a deep-minded person and quickly covered it up with a burst of laughter.

"As a man, you can not only see the king from time to time, stay in the guard, but also be the main source of county magistrates. Perhaps by the time you leave Xianyang, you will be able to herd hundreds or thousands of miles! Hei Fu, please encourage him. !”

But there was one sentence that Yang Xiong didn't say. Lang Guan and Lang Wei were often carefully selected from the nobles with good backgrounds in Guanzhong and who had been loyal to the military for generations. All of them were arrogant. With Heifu's title, he should be able to hold a considerable official position, but for a boss like him who comes from Guizhou Province, it is not easy to convince his subordinates...

Heifu hurriedly said that he didn't dare. After being humble and polite, he pointed at the guards who guarded Baqiao tightly and did not allow officials and people to pass. "Yang Sima, with such a formation, could something have happened?" ?”

After asking, he made a gaffe again and said, "If it's a matter of confidentiality, then I didn't ask!"

Yang Xiong said: "It's not a secret. Soon, everyone in Xianyang and the whole world will know. It's just that the news hasn't come yet."

"Oh? What's the matter?" "Don't worry, just take a guess." Yang Xiong gave up and looked to the east, which is the location of Hangu Pass.

An idea flashed through Heifu's mind and he said with a smile: "In the spring and summer last year, the Yan Dynasty perished. In May, the king declared the world to be peaceful. From then on until the autumn harvest, there was no war everywhere. Calculating the time, if we take advantage of the slack time after autumn, Dongfang’s use of troops has almost yielded results..."

Yang Xiong glanced at Hei Fu in surprise and said with a smile: "You guessed it right. At the end of October, General Wang Ben, General Meng Tian, ​​and General Li Xin went south from Yan to attack Qi. At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, their troops arrived in Jibei, Qi State. By the end of the twelfth lunar month, At that time, Qi surrendered without a fight..."

"How fast!"

Hei Fu has heard about the affairs of Qi State. Now that the three Jin, Yan and Chu have been destroyed, almost all the lords, ministers, officers, soldiers, and knights from the five countries have gone to Qi State, which has become a restoration force. The most concentrated area. They must have been working hard to fight Qin to the death, but unexpectedly the King of Qi surrendered without even resisting.

"It's the result of Qi Xiang's victory."

Yang Xiong laughed loudly: "In all these years, how many years have I not sent him gold and jewels? Thanks to his mediation, the state of Qi could sit back and watch the princes perish one after another. King Jian of Qi has been on the throne for forty years, and there has been no war in Qi for forty years. , The soldiers and armor are not repaired, and the people are not taught. When the army comes, they will all be weak and will not dare to resist."

"And Chen Chi, the envoy of the State of Qin, was ordered by the king to lure him five hundred miles away, and King Jian of Qi sent him to his door himself!"

As he spoke, he pointed at the cars and horses in the distance, and a group of people coming from east to west, and said: "Look, the large group of people that King Qi Jian entered the court has arrived!"

On this day, thousands of people gathered at Baqiao to watch the grand occasion of King Jian of Qi entering the Qin Dynasty.

Among them were passers-by and local farmers. Everyone was very excited and pointed at the princes, princes, princes, palace maids, tall ladies, ministers and officials who were stepping onto Baqiao one after another.

"This is not an entry into the imperial court. He is clearly a prisoner."

Heifu's coachman Sang Mu shook his head, but he saw that the princes, princes and grandsons who were wearing pure silk and silk were crestfallen, while the palace servants and maids were crying and their makeup was ruined, and the ministers and officials sighed every step of the way.

Earlier, Sang Mu went over to ask about his title. The old farmer, who claimed to be an "official official," was also supported by his grandson, standing on tiptoes to watch the scene. His right arm was broken, so he had to put his left arm on his grandson's shoulder.

Hearing what Sang Mu said, the one-armed old farmer smiled and said: "Young man, you are right, you are not entering the court, you are a prisoner! This scene has been seen for the sixth time since the seventeenth year of this king's reign!"

The seventeenth year of the Qin Dynasty coincided with the year when Korea was destroyed.

"My husband is old, has a high title, and is knowledgeable." Hei Fu praised the old farmer, but the old farmer started talking non-stop.

"The first person to come was Han Wangan. The team was cheering for Zheng Wei. Zheng Jun, who was in charge of the ditch, also came to pick him up. He bowed his head by the bridge and said that he could no longer be the minister of Han Wang. What he said was very emotional. By the way. , the person who captured the King of Han at that time was the internal history who just came last month... What is his surname?"

"Ye." Heifu took it for him.

"Yes, it's Ye!"

The old farmer patted the back of his gray-haired head with one arm and said with a smile: "A few years later, King Zhao also came. King Zhao was said to be the son of a prostitute, and the king was also the most unkind to Zhao. He made him wear a big cloth. He was wearing clothes and a sheep's fur coat, and he didn't even have a car. He walked all the way into the customs. After more than a thousand miles, his shoes were gone and his feet were full of blood. Every step he took, the blood marks were left on the bridge. It's a pity. Trampled by cars and pedestrians, it is now invisible..."

He showed a lot of missing teeth again: "I don't pity him. I also hate the Zhao people. I lost my right hand in Changping forty years ago!"

Hearing that he was an old soldier who had fought with Wu'an Lord Bai Qi in the Battle of Changping, Hei Fu couldn't help but be awe-struck and asked the old farmer to sit down in the car, as he didn't mind his nagging anymore.

The old farmer was very satisfied with Hei Fu's attitude. At his age and experience, he was comparable to Wang Jian. Not to mention being a concubine, even if the prime minister came, he might not look good on him.

"But having said that, we also killed Zhao people. We killed more than 400,000 people. We were so red-blooded that the valley was filled with heads. We couldn't bury all the corpses. In the end, even the elixir water was blocked. But this Zhao person, always It's like the crops in the field can never be killed. If one crop is cut here, another crop will grow in Handan. Regardless, when it comes to grudges, the people of Zhao hate the people of Qin even more."

"Then there is King Wei. King Wei cried so miserably. I heard that his capital city was flooded and destroyed by floods. Many people died. Boats can be driven in the streets, but the land cannot be planted. It is really sad. .”

Hei Fu participated in the battle to destroy Wei and saw the scene where the King of Wei surrendered to Wang Ben.

"Then came the King of Chu... What was his name? It's two-character. The sound of Chu is hard to pronounce. I can't remember it. The King of Chu brought him back by the way after he inspected the East. There were also thousands of Chu people, all women. A petite woman, the men all wear bright crowns and tassels, and crimson clothes and robes. But in my opinion, such a tall Chu crown is a perfect target for arrows on the battlefield. Let alone women, even men have such a thin waist, how can they fight? Huh? No wonder he has been chased away by Da Qin."

"There is also Yan Wangxi who was captured last year. He has the smallest number and is wearing a prisoner's robe. I don't remember anything else but the hundreds of captured Donghu horses."

"Finally, it's King Qi..."

The words of the old Baqiao farmer reminded Heifu of a sentence he had learned in the textbook: Yan and Zhao collected it, Han and Wei managed it, and the elites of Qi and Chu, for several generations, plundered their people, leaning against the mountains. Once you can't have it, you will lose it...

The old farmer said that his mouth was dry. Heifu smiled and handed over his leather flask. The old farmer took a sip and complained that this was not wine.

While they were talking, most of the people and horses had passed by, and King Qi’s chariot also arrived...

Qi Wangjian voluntarily surrendered, and his treatment was better than that of Zhao Wangqian. He also had a carriage and horses to ride on, but the carriage didn't even have a curtain, not to mention a canopy. It might be that he was deliberately exposed to the disdainful eyes of the Qin people.

In Hei Fu's eyes, the King of Qi was an old, fat man with a tall crown and a beard, and he was dressed in purple. Although purple was not the right color in the traditional Qin State, the people of Qi liked it. Purple clothes were the most expensive in the whole country.

Before and after King Qi's carriage, in addition to the Qin soldiers escorting him, there were also several people dressed like doctors. They did not have a carriage to sit in, so they could only walk. Several of them could not walk, and regardless of the etiquette of monarchs and ministers, they pulled King Qi's hand. The shaft of the car borrows strength.

Only a tall doctor, Qi Ren, walked in front of the carriage with his head held high, and Hei Fu saw that his hands were still shackles.

Arriving in front of Ba Bridge, the man stopped, raised his bloodshot eyes, looked at the looming Xianyang City in the distance, and showed a sad smile.

He seemed to have made up his mind, and in a few steps he rushed forward and stopped Qi Wangjian's carriage!

The Qin official who was driving the cart quickly reined in his horse and asked the Qin soldiers guarding the bridge to drive the man away.

But this man held on to Huabiao at the end of the bridge and said loudly:

"My subordinates once told the king that the land of Qi is thousands of miles away, and there are hundreds of thousands of them with armor. However, the heroes of the Three Jin Dynasties did not surrender to the Qin invaders, but there were tens of thousands of them between A and Juan, and the king took them and gave them a hundred thousand. The people of Chu and Yan did not want to be Qin captives, but there were hundreds of people in Chengyang, so the king took them with a hundred thousand troops and sent them to take them back. If the old land of Chu is reached, Wuguan can be entered! In this way, the power of Qi can be established and the five kingdoms can be restored!"

"However, the king did not listen to his ministers, and would rather believe in the words of victory later. He went west to attack Qin. Now he regrets it? Where is the five hundred miles of land that the Qin envoy promised to the king? If he had listened to the ministers' plan earlier, we would have already If you drive across Baqiao and drink from the Wei River, how can you be captured by Qin?"

These words were spoken in the dialect of the State of Qi, and the people of Qin could not understand them. As they looked at each other, the fat man in the carriage, King Qi, felt aggrieved all the way. He couldn't stand it any longer, and his face burst into tears. He stood up and said, "Doctor Jimo, The widow..."

It was useless to say anything at this time. Doctor Jimo stopped him and sighed: "In the past, my ancestors were kings. I wrote an inscription on Dun, which said, steam it and taste it, preserve the state of Qi, and be a classic for thousands of descendants forever!" Those who establish a king are also the country! Those who establish ministers are also the country. But now, the country of Qi has perished, and the Tian family ancestral temple has been extinct..."

"I didn't dare to die at first, but now that I have reached this point, I really don't want to enter Xianyang as a chieftain and make the people of Qin laugh. I deserve to die!"

After saying this, he slammed his head against the stone watch he was holding with such force that he seemed to hear the sound of a watermelon being opened. Doctor Jimo's face was covered with blood in an instant, his body was limp, and he looked like he was no longer alive... …

The people of Qin who were watching screamed in surprise. King Jianze of Qi was very sad, choked up a few words, and wanted to get out of the car, but was stopped by Qin officials.

He could only hide his face, unable to see his ministers again, and invited Yang Xiong to come over to check and bury Dr. Jimo properly.

Yang Xiong dismissed it and casually arranged for his subordinates to say: "Find a local stingy man to dig a hole and bury it!"

After the soldiers dragged away Dr. Jimo's body, leaving only two blood marks, the one-armed old farmer who was silent for a long time said quietly: "Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan, Qi, although the kings of each country are unworthy, , Generals and ministers are also people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, but they all have loyal ministers."

Hei Fu was also very touched and thought to himself: "However, if the kings of the six countries learned to love each other more than a hundred years ago, why would they be like this..."

However, even though King Wei and King Xuan of Qi were wise and wise, it was inevitable that their descendants would be either stupid, arrogant or short-sighted. Like Qin, which has produced six or seven generations of virtuous kings since Qin Xianggong, there is a real chance of winning big prizes.

Besides, if the six kings were all virtuous, Hei Fu would not be able to get along with Zuo Shuchang so easily, and the Nanjun children under his command would also suffer heavy losses.

The old farmer shook his head and sighed for a while, but he soon became happy again: "My eldest grandson also followed General Meng Tian to fight the Yan Dynasty and went to Qi State. Since there is no need to fight, he will be back soon!"

After saying that, he also lost interest in watching the excitement and let his grandson help him leave.

Heifu had to wait to cross the bridge, so he waited until the end of the motorcade. The wind blew through the bamboo mat covering the car, revealing a golden corner, which made everyone marvel.

Ironically, these dozens of carts of gold were all given to Prime Minister Housheng by the King of Qin, Li Si and Wei Liao, in the past ten years or so, telling him not to help the Five Kingdoms resist Qin. Now, Hou Sheng has paid back his capital with interest...

After all the carriages and horses escorting King Qi passed, Yang Xiong lifted the martial law on Baqiao. As Sang Mu whipped a whip in the air, Hei Fu's carriage set off again.

Driving on Baqiao, looking at the queue of people not far ahead, Heifu could only feel that a piece of history was coming to an end with his own eyes.

His six-year expedition to the east and south has finally come to an end.

With the demise of Qi, the five hundred and fifty years of war in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods also came to an end!

Heifu looked to the north. He saw the thick smoke billowing on the north bank of the Weishui River, where a huge golden man was being cast. He also saw the majestic palace on the Xianyang Plateau under the blue sky and white clouds!

The First Emperor was there waiting for him to report.

A new story is also waiting for Heifu to start!

Heifu smiled and patted the shaft of the car gently, summing up his hard work for so many years. "Six kings are finished, one in the world!"
