Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Of course, if it is necessary, Zhao Kuo can also let the 15-round war team travel eastward from Bashu along the Yangtze River and directly attack Chu State.

Some people are about to ask, isn't there the Three Gorges on the Yangtze River?

can pass?

Of course, it is possible. It should be decades ago that Sima Cuo, the general of the Qin State, led the army of the Qin State to attack Chu by water and marched eastward. Finally, he and Bai Qi joined forces in Yingdu of the State of Chu in victory.

Can Sima make a mistake, but Zhao Kuo can't?

impossible.

Zhao Kuo doesn't even need to do anything, he just needs to find various files in the treasury of Qin State that Sima wrongly attacked Chu, and he can easily know how Qin Jun passed through the steep Three Gorges rice field. of.

This is the benefit brought by the strict legalist system of the Great Qin Dynasty. The various files are very detailed and have everything that one expects to find. As long as they can be used, the benefits are endless.

As for the reckless man like Xiang Yu in history who came in and burned Afang Palace and half of Xianyang with a torch, Zhao Kuo didn't even bother to complain about it. "The last time we fought against Qin, the loss of 40 soldiers was [-].

This time we are fighting Chu, we have 30 soldiers, and I can only allow a maximum of [-] battle losses! "

Zhao Kuo made a bold statement.

After all, Daqin deserves to be the latest hegemonic country. Although it is said that Zhao Kuo finally lost and even destroyed the country under Zhao Kuo's continuous attack for many years, but the so-called old dog still has a few teeth. paid enough.

But for Zhao Kuo, this price is affordable!But for the state of Chu, it's different.

Chu State is so good, why should the big man pay the same loss as the destruction of Qin State?

After everything is arranged, the following specific affairs will be handled by the ministers. As for Zhao Kuo, in addition to handling government affairs during this period, he is spending time with his family.

This is also the normal state of Zhao Kuo in recent years. Most of the time in spring, summer and autumn is spent fighting outside, and only in winter can he accompany his family.

Winter snow flakes, wrapped in silver.

Zhao Kuo stood on top of the palace, staring into the distance, beside him were Queen Tian Wan and their eldest son Zhao Qian.

As for the other children, they were laughing and having snowball fights on the ground below the steps of the main hall.

It is worth mentioning that Yiquwei, who has been named a concubine, also joined the battle group, relying on the agility of the grassland children and the height and strength of adults, beat the other children until their heads were covered with snow, and called Aunt Yiqu Bully kids.

As for the other Qiu'er who was named the concubine Qiu'er, she stood aside with a smile on her face. She was lovely back then and now she has become demure. From time to time, children who were beaten by Yi Quwei can be seen throwing themselves into Qiu'er's arms. , crying and complaining.

Tian Wan is dignified and majestic, but also has the majesty of the mother of the family; Yi Quwei is lively and active, and belongs to the king of children; and Qiu'er, who seems to have the least presence among the three, is actually the most caring and most worthy The aunt the kids love.

Zhao Kuo looked away from the distant city and landed under the steps. After seeing this scene, he couldn't help but smile.

This feeling is really good.

Tian Wan was speaking softly: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Xu just asked the eunuch Linglai to send a message to the concubine, the concubine thought about it, and felt that the harem was indeed deserted.

Otherwise, how many more concubines will the king accept? "

Zhao Kuo was taken aback when he heard this, and then frowned: "Uncle Xu, why did you pick up a pimp when you don't do good political affairs?"

Tian Wan smiled and said: "Actually, it's not. The main reason is that the concubine also thinks that there are only three women in the palace, and Qiu'er was married by the concubine. Speaking of these years, the king has only accepted Yiqu's younger sister. If it is said If so, it is inevitable that someone will say that the concubine is jealous."

When Zhao Kuo heard this, he was also moved.

Look, this is an excellent woman in the old days. If the husband married a few fewer, she would not be happy.

Zhao Kuo shook his head with a smile, took Tian Wan's hand, and said, "Wan'er, you don't know the character of the widow, woman?

For the widow, women are not the most important thing, the most important thing is this world, these common people of the Huaxia clan!Doing the math, the widow has more than a dozen children now, the older ones like Qian'er are okay, and the younger ones like Linger, the widow has hardly gotten along with them these years.

If more women are admitted, there will indeed be a large group of children in the palace in the future, but how many of them can be intimate with widows?

It may not be a good thing to be born in an emperor's family! "

As Zhao Kuo said, he also sighed, and said slowly: "So there is no need for this concubine, there are so many children, and the widow can't even see it, so why do you want to live more?

From now on, there is no need to mention this matter. "

Tian Wan looked at Zhao Kuo, feeling a little moved in her heart, and nodded slightly.

For Tian Wan, although she is persuading Zhao Kuo to accept the concubine, in fact, which woman is willing to share her lover with other women?

It's just a last resort.

Now that Zhao Kuo has refused, Tian Wan is naturally happy in her heart, and feels that it must be because of Zhao Kuo's love for her that she did so.

Women, that's it. When a woman really likes you, you don't even need to take the initiative to do anything. She will take the initiative to make everything about you into the appearance of loving her.

Zhao Kuo nodded with a smile, held Tian Wan in his arms, stretched out his hand, and pointed at the world in front of him.

"See, Queen.

This is the country laid down for you by the widow! "

Chapter 1100 Officially Going Southward to Conquer Chu

The country that Zhao Kuo conquered is still very good, but without the Chu State, the puzzle is still incomplete after all.

This idea is not only Zhao Kuoyou, most of the courtiers of the Han Kingdom, but also the common people of the Han Kingdom think so.

Five of the six kingdoms in the world have been destroyed, and there is only one Chu kingdom left. How can it be allowed to live for too long?

Spring has come.

The spring plowing season is also one of the busiest seasons on this land.

In most of China's land, no matter men, women, old or young, the focus of life is on the fields.

Adults are farming, the elderly are helping to cook and do some light work, and the older children are also helping. Only those who are still young can run around happily on the ridge.

At this time, Zhao Guo was completely busy, but Zhao Kuo became more relaxed.

After dealing with state affairs, Zhao Kuo sat on the chair first, watching Zhao Qian and his younger brothers who were not far away, seriously practicing martial arts under the guidance of a general of the Imperial Guard.

The reason for practicing martial arts is also very simple. It is not for Zhao Qian and the others to go to the battlefield to fight, but to cultivate the habit of physical exercise since childhood.

Why many emperors died at a young age, generally speaking, there are several major factors, such as being born weak, addicted to wine and sex, and being too diligent in politics.

If these factors can be effectively and regularly exercised, they can be completely resolved, at least they can be buffered, and it is no problem to live for several years.

History has already told Zhao Kuo that the king of a country dies just after taking the throne, which is very prone to civil strife for any country.

So Zhao Kuo also enforced the rule that in addition to chemistry classes, the princes must practice martial arts, fixed three days a week, and spend one hour in the morning every day to practice. You don’t need to be as fierce as ten thousand enemies, but at least you have to strengthen your body fitness.

Regarding this matter, Yiquwei was somewhat dissatisfied: "Your Majesty, why do you want your subjects to teach you?

As long as the concubines come to teach, it will be fine. "

Zhao Kuo laughed dumbfounded, and said: "You, you are a concubine, if I let you teach, there must be some old antiques gossiping."

Yi Quwei snorted unhappily, her long legs swung her whip in the air, and said coquettishly: "Whoever dares to gossip, I will kick his teeth off!"

Zhao Kuo laughed out loud.

Yiquwei's guidance is indeed sufficient in terms of martial arts, but Yiquwei belongs to that kind of wild way, and the teaching methods and methods are definitely not as perfect and systematic as the army's side.

Moreover, Yiquwei did not kill anyone, but the general of the imperial guards in front of Zhao Kuo was an excellent officer in Chi You's army, and more than 200 enemies died under him.

Don't underestimate the record of 200 people. According to many folklore, it seems that 2000 or [-] people can be cut off in one battle. In fact, most of the wars are won, and often only need to behead [-] or [-] people, or even A dozen heads can become the champion of the whole army.

A very simple mathematical calculation, assuming that the Han army has 10 people, if each person cuts off one head, the other party will die by [-].

Is it possible that if each person cuts off five heads, the other party will die 50 people?

Given that Zhao Kuo has ruled the world for so many years and fought so many victories, the strongest beheading record under his command was held by Li Mu before, and it was only 340 four heads. .

For the vast majority of soldiers, those who can decapitate more than a dozen or twenty heads in the decades from joining the war to being discharged from the army are considered to be quite good.

This is the real world line.

Just when Zhao Kuo's thoughts diverged, the martial arts class finally ended.

Zhao Qian and a group of boys were sweating profusely, lying down on the grass one by one, panting for breath.

Yiquwei watched from the side, and couldn't help laughing out loud: "A group of bragging brats, who kept telling Ben Gong that they wouldn't breathe after training?"

Qiuersheng's second prince, Zhao Meng, heard the words and said helplessly, "San Niang, we are bragging in our own family, so don't take it so seriously."

Yiquwei let out a hey, and said to Zhao Meng: "Xiao Meng, you are the fiercest when you are bragging, but now that you have really practiced, are you pretending to be dead?

No, come with Sanniang, Sanniang will teach you how to ride a horse and give you some practice! "

"Father, save me, save me!"

Amid Xiao Zhaomeng's screams, he was ruthlessly dragged away by Yiquwei.

Zhao Kuo watched this scene with a smile, and did not forget to wave his hand at Zhao Meng.

Prince Zhao Qian was obviously used to this scene, he couldn't help shrugging his shoulders, and then brought a few younger brothers to salute Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo patted the shoulders of these children one by one, encouraged each of them a few words, and then said to Zhao Qian: "The widow will go to war in a few days, when the widow is away, you are the prince, you must protect your younger brothers and sisters.

If there is any conflict between them, your mother, second mother and third mother are adults, and sometimes it is inconvenient to get involved in this child's affairs. You, as the eldest brother, should also help mediate, understand? "

Hearing this, Zhao Qian hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Zhao Kuo looked at Zhao Qian, and felt emotional in his heart. Apart from other things, in terms of appearance alone, Zhao Qian is now more and more like Zhao Kuo.

Well, that's fine.

Zhao Kuo smiled and said to Zhao Qian: "Okay, let's take the younger brothers down to take a bath, and we have to go to class later."

As a child of the Wang family, education must be paid close attention to, and the learning atmosphere must also be paid close attention to.

If all the children of the Wang family are idiots, the possibility of the kind of idiots who oppress the people will increase greatly in the future, and the best way to eliminate idiots is education.

Seeing Zhao Qian leave with his younger brothers, Zhao Kuo also heaved a sigh of relief, feeling in his heart: "These children, I hope they will not turn against each other in the future."

As for Zhao Meng who was taken away by Yi Quwei, Zhao Kuo was not worried. This son is as his name suggests, reckless in every sense, and it would be good for Yi Quwei to train him to suppress his temper.

Zhao Kuo stood up from the chair and stretched.

It's time to deal with government affairs again. Fortunately, after the expedition soon, these tedious government affairs will be cut by more than half.

I'm happy just thinking about it.

Three days later, the spring plowing basically ended in the central plains of Zhao State.

Seven days later, Zhao Kuo finished worshiping his ancestors in the ancestral temple of the Han Dynasty, and then officially announced to send troops to crusade against Chu.

Before sending troops, Zhao Kuo also published an article, which roughly means that Chu State was originally a courtier under Zhou Tianzi, but he betrayed Zhou Tianzi and became king without authorization, which was a big treasonous act.

Today's Han State has inherited the country and land of Emperor Zhou. As the well-deserved heir of Emperor Zhou, Zhao Kuo was also ordered by Heaven to crusade against Chu, and then unify China.

I hope that the courtiers and common people of the Chu State can obey the destiny, join the Han State, and contribute to the unification of China.

Zhao Kuo will also treat these people who joined the Great Han Kingdom equally, and will give generous treatment including official positions and titles.

This proclamation had already been drawn up, and more than [-] copies were secretly copied, and sent to the major cities of Chu State in advance through Nightingale's secret channel.

Therefore, on the day when Zhao Kuo went out and issued the call, dozens of large and small cities in the Chu state, including Shouchun City, the capital of the Chu state, were all covered by these calls posted everywhere.

Of course, the king of Chu knew about this incident immediately.

Afterwards, the king of Chu was furious.

"This Zhao Kuo is really too much! What about the heir of Emperor Zhou? Isn't he a usurper? What qualifications do you have to criticize the widow and Da Chu?

It's ridiculous! "

The reason why the king of Chu was so angry was because of the fear caused by Zhao Kuo's attack on the one hand, and on the other hand because Zhao Kuo's statement really revealed the old background of Chu State.

The state of Chu was originally a small tribe when it first rose, and then the ancestors of Chu followed the leaders of other big tribes to meet Zhou Tianzi. As a result, Zhou Tianzi didn't take the small tribe of Chu seriously, and let the leaders of the big tribes Drinking in the hall, let the leader of the "small tribe" of Chu State go outside to watch the night.

The first king of the state of Chu was so angry that he became stronger after he came back and tried his best, and he immediately rebelled against the emperor of Zhou.

At that time, only Zhou Tianzi could be called "King" in the world, and the others were all "Gong" and "Hou". Since Chu State rebelled, the first king of Chu State was also very straightforward, and I am also called King!The former king of Chu State also had a famous saying: "I am a barbarian, and I will not be named posthumously with China!"

This is why among the Five Hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period in the history books, only the monarch of Chu State is called "Chuzhuang King", while those of other countries are called "Qi Huan Gong" and "Jin Gong".

From the beginning of being king, even if the state of Chu officially broke away from the system of Zhou Tianzi, it formed its own faction.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Huan of Qi once proposed the title of "respecting the king and destroying the barbarians". country.

Until the later Warring States period, the other six princes became kings one after another, and everyone broke away from the system of Zhou Tianzi. In addition, Chu State was also powerful for hundreds of years, and it was basically assimilated by Huaxia, so the other princes Guoming didn't mention it on the surface.

But now Zhao Kuo brought out the black history of Chu’s ancestors, accusing Chu of not being the orthodox descendant of China. The king of Chu, who had already been completely Huaxia, was naturally furious, but he couldn’t refute it, so he could only yell at Zhao Kuo. When venting.

After scolding Zhao Kuo, King Chu's anger was relieved a lot, and he said to the officials in front of him, "Okay, let's talk about it, what is the way to fight now?"

Although I really don't want to face this situation, Zhao Kuo has already come to the door, and Chu State has to fight this time if it doesn't fight.

Logically speaking, since the king of Chu had already asked, Li Yuan, as Ling Yin, should be the first to answer.
