Controlling mountains and rivers since the Warring States Period

Chapter 105 Daytime
"Wei won."

"Decades of prosperity cannot be destroyed in an instant."

When the news that Wei Houying had secured the throne spread throughout the world, naturally some people wanted to express their opinions on it.

Wei Yang, who had just left Han, said, "But Zhao and Han have no chance of replacing Wei."

When I thought that they had clearly trapped Wei Ying of Wei State in Zhuoze and were about to deal a heavy blow to Wei State, the result was that due to a difference of opinion, the Marquis of Han took his men and left in the middle of the night, allowing Wei Ying to escape...

Wei Yang snorted, "I can't understand this Marquis Han and his father!"

After leaving Zhangshui,

Wei Yang came to Korea.

At that time, the Marquis of Han was holding a banquet to celebrate the completion of the major project of moving the capital to Xinzheng.

Therefore, Wei Yang, the grandson of the Wei State, was also invited.

The Marquis of Han admired his young talent and wanted to demonstrate the country's strength to him, so that Wei would realize that relying on the powerful neighboring country of Han was the right way to go. So he let Wei Yang sit not far from him.

After a round of singing, dancing and feasting,
Then chaos appeared -

The Marquis of Han favored Yan Sui and loved Han Wei. He said many times that these two people were his wings and he could not let go of either of them.

However, due to Marquis Han's statement, he not only failed to enjoy the blessing of being with the women of Qi, but also made the conflict between the two sides more acute.

Yan Sui therefore sent an assassin to the banquet that day to kill Han Wei, who was competing with him for favor, on the spot.

Frightened, Han Wei ran directly to Marquis Han, hoping to use the monarch's deterrence to stop the assassin from chasing him.

Han Hou hugged the man with heartache and scolded the assassin.

Then the assassin stabbed them both with one blow.

The king and his minister died in each other's arms.

Blood splattered and landed on Wei Yang's face, still a little warm.

The smell of blood filled his breath.

This made Wei Yang a little dazed.

The first year after leaving Weiguo,
He saw ghosts and gods in Zhangshui.
I also witnessed the death of a prince in Korea.

“What a mess!”

When he was pulled up and sent back to his residence, this was the only thought in Wei Yang's mind.

then,

He left Xinzheng,
He began to travel and study in various places in Shanxi.

From Wei to Han, and from Han to Zhao.

When Wei Wuhou died, he returned to Han.

When Wei Houying changed the reign title, he left Han again.

I am about to reach the age of crowning,

He has shed the immaturity he had three years ago and has become more gloomy and resolute.

Over the past three years,
He saw a lot.

But I didn’t see a lot.

Because in troubled times, many situations are repetitive and there is nothing new.

The short period of peace and leisure will always be interrupted and ended by various things.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, villagers were still in the mood to sing the ballad "The sounds of chopping wood and the chirping of birds" while farming and felling trees.

The villagers in today's world just do things with resentment. Even if they sing again, they can only sing songs like "Kankan cut down the sandalwood, put it on the river bank, the river water is clear and ripples" to denounce the monarch.

In such troubled times, all living people are forced to accept the fate of dying in pain.

His previous views have been confirmed in today's world.

Everyone is suffering from the whip of this chaotic world.

Wei Yang took out the rope given to him by the gods and ghosts and tied it around his waist as a belt.

He had some ideas in his mind, but when he thought deeply about it, he couldn't grasp any clues.

He could only go farther and see more things, hoping to spend more time to form a complete impression of the world in his mind.

About Shanxi,

The traces left by Li Kui,
Wei Yang had seen almost everything.

So he boarded a boat and began to cross the river to the vast land of Chu, looking for any traces that Wu Qi had left on this land.

Although he is gone,
But whether it is love or hate,

It won't go away easily after all.

The feudal lords of Chu still gnashed their teeth and "missed" Wu Qi's kindness.

What do the Chu troops, who had accepted Wu Qi's training and became powerful, think of this former general?

and also,

What do the common people think?
Their words,
It will become the nourishment for Wei Yang's growth, giving him the strength to go further. …

Qin State,

Qin Jun was very disappointed.

He said to his ministers, "It is a pity that Wei did not collapse when it was attacked by the Zhao-Han coalition."

When the news of Wei Wuhou's death reached the Qin State, the King of Qin became restless, hoping to take the opportunity to recover Hexi.

As a result, before the Qin army was organized and set out, news came from the Wei State:
Prince Ying secured his throne and launched a counterattack against the State of Zhao.

Although Wei's hegemony was damaged,
But it cannot be knocked down all at once.

So Qin Jun could only suppress his inner excitement, lie dormant again, and wait quietly for the opportunity to come.

He sighed to his ministers, expressing his regret, "Why hasn't Wei State perished yet?" and then turned his attention to the affairs of Qin State.

Qin Jun said, "I received news earlier that some of the people who were sent to the West have returned."

"I've asked them to wait for an interview somewhere else."

"It's been thirteen years...Finally there's news."

He couldn't help feeling a little emotional as he recalled the promise he had made to the gods and ghosts by the Sushui River.

During these years,

Every year, he would send a group of people to the distant West.

at first,

It is believed that ghosts, gods and Mohists are all curious about that place, and think that there must be fertile land waiting for Qin to reap the harvest.

However, there was little follow-up news, and the internal affairs of the Qin State were also heavy, so the King of Qin's mind shifted back to the country.

I have persisted until now only in order to continue to win over the Mohist school and fulfill my promise to the ghosts and gods.

Fortunately,

Everything pays off.

"go!"

"Go with me to see those people!"

The King of Qin stood up and walked out of the palace, and then met his crown prince Qu Liang.

The young prince saluted his father, first saying "Your Majesty" and then calling him "Father".

The King of Qin liked his dignity, so he went up to the little prince, took his hand, and asked him to go with him to see the people who had returned from the distant West.

"Far west?"

"How far can that be?"

The little prince was led by Qin Jun while looking up and asking his father.

Qin Jun shook his head, "I don't know about this either."

"Why send people to such a far place?" the little prince asked again.

“Because of the promise!”

"But I have been doing this for more than ten years and there is no result!" The little prince pinched his own hand and counted, and felt that it would be better not to keep the promise.

So many people,

So many supplies.
It can allow the Qin State to build another city!

He felt sad just thinking about it!

He was so angry that he was worried that his father had been cheated and his money was wasted!

His teacher clearly said,

The State of Qin is already the most western place among the various states. Going further west, there is nothing!

"The king doesn't like gorgeous clothes and beauties, nor does he build magnificent palaces, but he sends people to the desolate west every year. This is even worse than the former!"

The little prince still remembered the critical look on his teacher's face when he mentioned this matter.

After all, gorgeous costumes and palaces can make people see its beauty, but what can Qin gain from sending envoys to the West?
Qin Jun was amused by the little prince's words. He laughed for a while and then said, "It doesn't matter!"

"Now that we have gone there, we will know what they have brought back to Qin!"

Is the land in the West vast?

Is it rich?
Are there many barbarians growing there?
If the Qin army wants to pass through,
How long will it take to walk?

On the way from the meeting place to the palace to meet those people, Qin Jun's memories of the past emerged.

He suddenly felt a longing for the West again.

If we can't reach the places east of the river, why not explore the west first?
Even if I can't go to such a far place,

If you can benefit,

It’s also very good!
