Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Mi Chen couldn't take this into consideration at this time, so he said directly: "Did your lord forget that the Yiqu people in Beidi County rebelled before? If you send a large army to help Chu, then once the Yiqu people collude with Zhao Guo How should the cavalry go south?"

As soon as Mi Chen said these words, Qin Wangzhu and Cai Ze frowned in unison.

This is indeed a very serious issue.

Speaking of which, it was almost a month and a half ago that the Yiqu people launched a rebellion under the leadership of Yiqu Sheng and captured Yiqu City to stand on their own.

After hearing the news of the Yiqu people's rebellion, Qin Wangzhu immediately mobilized an army of tens of thousands of people to Beidi County to suppress the rebellion.

After getting the news, Yiqu Sheng knew that he was invincible, so he simply dragged all the people in Yiqu City out of the city, and fled northward several days in advance, and fled to Shuofang County in Zhao State.

When the army of the Qin State arrived at Yiqu City, apart from seeing hundreds of human heads hanging on the top of the city, including the sheriffs of the north of Qin State and the officials of the Qin State in Yiqu City, there was only an empty city. .

So Qin was a little embarrassed.

If the army entered Shuofang County of Zhao State, it would undoubtedly be equivalent to declaring war on Zhao State.

But if you don't go in, then Yiqu Sheng and the tens of thousands of people under his command will become a big hidden danger on the northwest border of Qin State.

For this matter, Qin Wangzhu also specially sent envoys to Handan of Zhao State to meet Zhao Dan, hoping that Zhao Dan could hand over the traitors like Yi Qusheng.

But Zhao Dan obviously didn't intend to do this.

The envoys of the State of Qin have been in Handan for a long time, but they are still living in the posthouse until now, and have not seen Zhao Dan's face.

After coming and going, Qin Wangzhu could only temporarily put aside the issue of Yiqu people.

But when this question was brought up by Mi Chen, Qin Wangzhu realized that it really became a trouble.

To be honest, if Yiqu beat his own tens of thousands of people, the problem is actually not too big.

But if the soldiers and horses in Zhao Guoshuofang and Hetao counties are added, the trouble will be big.

Two years ago, Li Mu led the cavalry of Zhao State across the Guanzhong Basin, making all the kings and officials of Qin State in Xianyang City fearful, Qin Wangzhu can still vividly remember it.

At this moment, Cai Ze suddenly said: "My lord, in fact, the problem of Yiqu people is not impossible to solve."

"Oh?" Qin Wangzhu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said to Cai Ze: "What clever plan does Mr. Gang Cheng have, why don't you tell me quickly!"

Cai Ze said: "Your Majesty, I heard that a few years ago the Yuezhi people crossed the Yellow River to the east and fought against the Zhao Guoren in Shuofang County and suffered a disastrous defeat. The Yuezhi King has always been bitter about this and hated it. If Your Majesty can send envoys to persuade King Yuezhi to let the Yuezhi tribe raise troops to attack Hetao of Zhao State, then the people of Zhao State will not have enough time to protect themselves, how can they help the people of Yiqu in chaos?"

Qin Wangzhu was immediately elated when he heard the words, couldn't help but slapped his thigh, and said with a smile; "Gun Chengjun's words won the hearts of the widow! Well, the widow has made a decision, so I will send an envoy to the country of Yan according to Gang Chengjun's intention. And Yuezhi!"

After a pause, Qin Wangzhu continued to speak: "Mr. Wu An, how about you as the main general in this battle to aid Chu?"

Having said this, every minister of Qin State in the hall understood it in his heart.

This time Qin Wangzhu still decided to assist Chu State and jointly resist the strong pressure from Zhao State.

Bai Qi stood up slowly, and saluted Qin Wangzhu.

"Old minister, follow orders!"

Chapter 539 Zhao Dan Godson (first update)

Handan in summer is very hot.

Going outside in this kind of weather is honestly not a good idea.

If possible, most of the nobles would be more willing to stay at home, let the maids holding cattail fans fan themselves with a cool breeze, and drink a glass of iced wine or sour plum soup by the way.

For Zhao's courtiers, no matter how busy they are, they can't help but want to find a reason to be lazy in such a hot summer day.

But for Zhao Dan, slack is an unbearable behavior.

The unification has not yet succeeded, and the widow still needs to work hard.

Zhao Dan was sitting in a rather inconspicuous carriage at the moment, and sitting with him was Zhao Heng, the Prince of Zhao.

What Zhao Dan told Zhao Heng was some knowledge and things about "unification of the world", things that basically only rulers would understand.

Unification is, in fact, an issue worthy of discussion.

If you want to unify the entire Chinese world and bring all the Chinese people together, you cannot conquer by force alone. The Qin Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty are two good negative examples.

So what should I do?

If Zhao Dan is allowed to think about such a grand topic only with his own wisdom, he will definitely not be able to come up with any answers.

Fortunately, Zhao Dan can also "use history as a mirror" and look at this issue from the perspective of China's 5000-year history.

In this way, Zhao Dan looked at the problem from a much higher angle, and naturally saw the problem in a much deeper depth.

Speaking of which, Zhao Dan plans to use the Qin and Han dynasties as mirrors for his reference this time.

Qin Dynasty, the first unified dynasty in Chinese history.

Han Dynasty, the first dynasty in Chinese history that lasted more than 100 years.

The Qin Dynasty represented creation and progress, while the Han Dynasty represented persistence and stability.

Regarding the cause of unification, Qin Shihuang actually created a lot, such as unifying weights and measures, unifying characters, unifying coins, etc., are all efforts made by this emperor through the ages to achieve unification in the true sense.

According to Qin Shihuang's thinking, as long as all people in the entire land of China follow the same and unified standards for food, clothing, housing and transportation, then everyone will naturally become one country, and the goal of complete unity will be achieved.

But this great and talented emperor still overlooked the importance of one thing.

That is the hearts of the people.

As the foundational theory of the Qin State and even the Qin Dynasty, the Legalists paid more attention to those "visible and tangible" things, and believed that such "invisible and intangible" things such as thoughts and transformations were of no use, or even just waste time.

Under the guidance of such an ideological policy, disciples of the Legalists tend to pay more attention to practical work, and sneer at other schools of thought who like to study the world and philosophy.

This is the limitation of the legalist thought. It created a unified situation, but it did not keep up with the times to create an ideological system sufficient to stabilize the unified situation to ensure the continuity of the Qin Dynasty's rule.

So the Qin Dynasty just collapsed.

Qin's death was not due to the so-called tyranny, but to the hearts of the people.

From the fall of the Six Kingdoms in 221 BC to the unification of the Qin Dynasty in 207 BC, until the end of the Qin Dynasty in [-] BC, in this short ten years, although the Qin Dynasty conquered the land of the Six Kingdoms, it did not conquer the Six Kingdoms people's hearts.

Like later generations, many people will claim to be from the Northeast, Northwest, Jiangnan, Guanzhong, etc., but at the same time they all recognize another identity, that is, they are all "Han people" and they are all descendants of Huaxia Ming.

As far as the Qin Dynasty is concerned, the subjects of the conquered lands of the six countries may identify themselves as Zhao people, Qi people, and Chu people, but they will definitely not consider themselves a "Qin people".

Since I am not from the Qin clan, why should I recognize the rule of the Qin people, why should I recognize the state of Qin?

As long as there is a chance, there must be only one result.
