Controlling mountains and rivers since the Warring States Period

Chapter 186 Lifting the Cauldron
After King Zhao's Hufu Qishe achieved certain results,

Decided to attack the Huns to the north to test their strength.

Although Zhongshan was a serious threat to Zhao,

However, the reform had only been going on for a year at this time. If they launched a rash attack, King Yong of Zhao was worried that they would alert the enemy and suffer a great loss, thus dampening the enthusiasm for reform.

then,

King Yong of Zhao chose a suitable opponent for himself——

The latest people to rise on the grasslands were the Huns.

Among the princes, Yan State has always been regarded as a poor and weak country, but the tradition of inward-lookingness among the various states has existed since ancient times.

The State of Yan could not defeat other gentlemen internally.

However, we can launch a heavy attack on the Donghu and Beidi externally.

Especially after King Zhi of Yan ascended the throne, he built a golden platform and sold horse bones for thousands of gold coins, which attracted too many talents to strengthen the State of Yan. Therefore, his crackdown on the Donghu became more and more intense.

The Donghu was weak.
Then some up-and-coming people began to get eager for its position.

The Huns,
is one of the representatives.

This tribe has only recently emerged and has a small population, but is quite powerful. It is also just outside the northern border of Zhao State. Isn't it a whetstone given to Zhao State by God?
As for whether the Huns are willing to use their blood to lead the way for Zhao’s new army?
That has nothing to do with the Huns!

They don't need to understand.

They must obey!

Zhao's Iron Cavalry,

out!

Just right,

It is autumn season on the grasslands, when the horses are fat and plump.
The Huns,
Bring out your best.
Come and compete with me,
Then offer your cattle, sheep and horses to become Zhao State's food supplies!
……

When He Bo heard about this, he shouted "Reverse Tiangang".

"Zhu Xia relied on their strong cavalry and archery skills to go to the grassland to hunt for grass and grain?"

"Why would I have such a dream?"

King Yi of Yan, who had lost his mother's love, entertained the ghosts and gods and said:
"When the ancestors of Yan State and even the ancient sages of other countries were in hardship, they attacked the barbarians and took their people and food. Isn't this normal?"

To know,
The lives of the Chinese gentlemen are much more precious than those of the barbarians!

So when the gentlemen are in danger, the barbarians have to make necessary sacrifices to reflect the value of their lives.

King Yi of Yan specifically told the story of the founding of the State of Yan:
"When my ancestor Duke Zhao was enfeoffed and founded a country, it was even harder than when he was in Southern Chu!"

At least the State of Chu was closer to the territories of Zhou and Chengzhou than the State of Yan.

At that time, the State of Qi was full of barbarians, let alone the Yan area further north?

"The miasma is everywhere in Lingnan, so the Chu people can't go down, and the southern barbarians can't come up; but the mountains in the north of our Yan State are undulating and have many mountain passes, so the Donghu can roam southward, and the Yan people can also march north to conquer..."

Therefore,
During the most difficult time for Yan State,
I didn't survive by farming and hunting.
Instead, they went straight to rob the cattle, horses, and lambs raised by the Hu people!
If the land north of Donghu was not cold, poor and vast, unlike the barbarians in the land of Xia, it would have been surrounded by gentlemen.
I guess there is no such race as "Donghu" anymore!

Now that Zhao was going to attack the Huns' Caogu, King Yi of Yan could only say, "This is really in keeping with the tradition of our ancestors!"

The other dead ghosts who were accompanying him were also not surprised.

Ximen Bao even said, "Have you forgotten the Baidi slaves I captured in Ye County?"

Then He Bo remembered the story and was no longer surprised.

Zhongshan Chenggong and Zhongshan Wangcuo, who were sitting nearby, also looked calm after hearing Ximen Bao's words and did not feel offended at all.

Bai Di?

What does this have to do with Zhongshan, where I am the descendant of Yan and Huang and the bloodline of the Ji clan?
They just worry.

Once Zhao State succeeds in training its troops, Zhongshan will inevitably be in danger!

Ugh,
I won't be one step ahead of Wei's ancestors and will not be able to eat the cold pork offered to the Taimiao, right?
When I think of this,

The two Zhongshan Lords became unhappy.

The father and son looked at each other, then looked at Marquis Zhao Su who was so happy that he drank several glasses of wine, and decided to stop this guy and beat him up after the banquet!
……

At the same time, Zhao attacked the Huns' grasslands and plundered a large number of their cattle, sheep and horses, proving that King Zhao's reforms were not on the wrong track.

Qin also won a victory over Han.

The Qin army joined forces with the Wei State, one in the east and the other in the north, to launch attacks on the Han State at the same time, and eventually captured Yiyang of the Han State.

Yiyang,

It is an important town in western South Korea.

It is the most important barrier for South Korea to prevent Qin from advancing eastward!

If the Qin army wants to march out of Hangu Pass, it must first control this place to ensure the smooth flow of supplies and troops.

Once Yiyang is acquired,
South Korea's soft hinterland was immediately exposed to the Qin State.

It no longer has the strength to compete with the Qin State!

Luoyi, which was surrounded by Han, also opened its arms to Qin and trembled under the power of the Qin army.

With the power of a great victory, King Dang of Qin came to Luoyi in triumph.

He did not come to pay homage to the Emperor, but came as a victor to admire his spoils.

Therefore,
This time, the King of Qin came to inspect Luoyi.

Emperor Yan felt humiliated by the rude look given by King Qin Dang.

But he couldn't resist.

Don’t dare to resist!
Even when the King of Qin asked to see the Nine Cauldrons, Emperor Yan would put on a smile, personally lead the way, and take the King of Qin to the treasury where the Nine Cauldrons were displayed, fully displaying this destiny before the Qin State.

The King of Qin was very satisfied with Emperor Yan's attitude.

When the King of Qin saw the Nine Cauldrons, whose weight had been asked by King Zhuang of Chu, he could not help but reach out and touch them.

Eight hundred years of the world, the destiny of the Chinese people,
Right in front of him,
Right under his command!
Such stimulation made the already young and vigorous King Qin make a decision -

"Meng said, come!"

"How about we compete in lifting the tripod?"

Others tried to stop him, trying to persuade the monarch not to put himself in danger.

But the King of Qin ignored him and went straight to the Yongzhou Ding.

This tripod symbolizes the west, which at this time refers to the Qin State.

The shape is tall and solid.
Very heavy,

It is of great importance.

Li Shimeng said he would take action first, but he only moved the tripod a little and was unable to lift the tripod off the ground.

The King of Qin laughed at him, then stepped forward, squatted a little, hugged the body of the tripod, exerted strength from his dantian, opened his eyes wide, and soon blood began to flow!
"not good!"

The other ministers were very worried when they saw this.

Because this time it was Qin and Wei that joined forces to defeat Han, when the King of Qin "toured" Luoyi, Wei also sent envoys to accompany him.

among the crowd,

Liu Qing, the envoy of Wei, stood on tiptoe to watch the fun. When blood started flowing from the corners of the King of Qin's eyes, he whispered to his companions, "This tripod is so heavy, why do you insist on moving it?"

"I don't know." said my partner Hefu.

"Do you think the King of Qin can move it?"

"do not know."

Liu Qing was angry, "How come you don't know anything!"

Hei Fu said, "I want to know, how is it possible that he is not as high-ranking as you?"

A friend who grew up together,
Liu Qing has now become a minister of the Wei State. If he accumulates more merits and climbs up the ladder, he can even become a doctor!
But Hei Fu, as the current successor of the Hei family, is still mediocre in the army.

first,
It's true that his brain is not as flexible as Liu Qing's.

Secondly,

It was also because the State of Wei was now weak and did not dare to start a war lightly. Moreover, when the King of Wei promoted and appointed people, he preferred to promote his own confidants or gentlemen of noble birth, and did not pay attention to civilian warriors.

The ancestors of the Black family,
He was just a minor official in a county.

Why compare yourself with those nobles whose traditions have lasted for hundreds of years?
but,

Heifu didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

My generation can’t do that.

It all depends on the wisdom of future generations!
Anyway, he has already married and has children, so he won’t be without descendants!

"Alas, it seems that you still have to rely on me!"

"Don't worry, if I become a doctor, I will definitely promote you!"

Liu Qing then started laughing and joking with his friends.

Anyway, they are just marginal figures and no one will pay attention to them.

Until in the center of the crowd, where everyone was paying attention, a loud noise suddenly came.

"My king!"

Immediately, someone started howling.

"what happened!"

Liu Qing was also startled. He wanted to stand on tiptoe to see what was going on, but he found that the crowd was surging, completely blocking the King of Qin and the Yongzhou Ding in the middle.

"I come!"

Seeing that Liu Qing was tilting his neck with a curious look on his face, Heifu stepped forward and, relying on his family's strong military training, cleared a path for Liu Qing.

then,

The two found out.
The King of Qin was so exhausted from lifting the tripod that he was careless and let the huge tripod break his leg.

He vomited blood from the corner of his mouth, stretched out his hands, stroked his bent left leg, and was sweating profusely.

Tian Ziyan next to him looked like he wanted to be happy but didn't dare to, and pretended to be very anxious.

"Why are you still surrounding us?"

Hei Fu immediately said, "Hurry up and let the King of Qin lie down, and get two straight boards!"

"Can you heal?"

Some officials of Qin asked him anxiously.

Hei Fu touched his head and said confidently, "Not very well!"

"But the bones are broken and bleeding, and you are just crying beside him. Do you expect your tears to heal the King of Qin?"

Anyway, Hei Fu thinks:
It has become like this.
What's wrong with trying the treatment methods you know?

Their ancestor was a hunter, and later generations joined the army. Although they cannot cure hidden abdominal diseases, they do have experience in dealing with this kind of bumps and injuries!
Liu Qing kept pulling his sleeves and sighed in his heart:
Heifu's brain always works like crazy at the wrong times.

This King of Qin,

But the goal is to "pacify the world".

The cure is indeed a success.
But if that doesn't work, I'll probably have to take Hefu with me!
The risk is too great.

How can we take such a risk!

unfortunately,

I didn't cover this guy's mouth in advance, and could only watch him jump into the pit!
