General Qin
Chapter 402 Qi Envoy Tian Chong
Outside Hangu Pass, the trees have just sprouted new green shoots, and the morning dew still remains on them.
Zhao Tuo didn't wear a pheasant crown and armor today, but a black crown on his head, a luxurious deep coat, coupled with his extraordinarily youthful appearance, like a handsome young man, not a warrior on the battlefield.
At the moment, he is leading a group of attendants, standing outside the pass, waiting for the envoy from the east.
"Doctor Meng, I heard that this time Qi Wangjian intended to personally visit the Qin Dynasty, but he gave up later?"
Zhao Tuo turned his head to look at a man standing beside him.
The man was over 40 years old, tall and thin, and he was the fifth doctor Mengyu who was in charge of picking up the princes' envoys.
Seeing Zhao Tuo's questioning, Meng Yu hurriedly replied: "Returning to the master, according to the report from the people sent to Qi State by our pedestrian department. After Qin State destroyed Chu and surrendered to kill Xiong Qi, Qi Wangjian was worried day and night. I want to personally enter the Qin Dynasty to meet my king."
"However, in the middle of King Qi's journey, he was blocked by Sima Yongmen's halberd on his horse. In front of many Qi people, he asked him, "Is it the country you want to establish the king for? The king?"
"The king of Qi said: for the country. Then Sima said: for the country to establish a king, why did the king go to the country and enter Qin?"
"Qi Wangjian couldn't answer. In addition, Qi people were furious at that time, and Qi Xiang Tianjia came to persuade him again, so Qi Wangjian returned the car and returned, and only sent his chief Sima Tianchong to come."
As he said that, Meng Yu looked at the boy in front of him with a complicated expression.
This son's promotion to noble is really like a bird spreading its wings and soaring into the sky.
After listening to Meng Yu's words, Zhao Tuo nodded slightly.
The fact that Qi Wangjian wanted to enter the Qin Dynasty and was blocked by his officials reflected a fact.
It means that there are still many loyal and patriotic people in Qi State. These people can speak out for the country and prevent Qi Wangjian from moving toward Qin. Qi Wangjian changed his car and returned, which also showed that this king did not have the ability to control Qi.
Especially when the remnants of the Four Kingdoms assassinated Qi Xiang and won, and supported Tian Jia to take the throne, they also cleaned up a wave of pro-Qin forces within Qi.
So even if the remnants of the four kingdoms were expelled by the people of Qi, it would not be easy for Qin to take down Qi.
It was not as easy as Li Shiqi had said before to persuade Qi to surrender like in history.
In order to make achievements, the vertical and horizontal people are best at exaggerated rhetoric. Zhao Tuo only half believed Li Shiqi's words.
Now Qin Wangzheng sent Zhao Tuo to meet the envoys of Qi State, not only because he was less noble than Qi State's Grand Sima, but also because Zhao Tuo and Na Tian Chong were old acquaintances.
Zhao Tuo also happened to test the falsehood of Qi State and prepare for his future attack on Qi.
After a while, the sound of cars rumbling and Ma Xiaoxiao came from the road in the distance.
Dozens of luxuriously decorated vehicles drove towards Hangu Pass.
Grand Sima Tianchong of the State of Qi stood on the chariot and looked into the distance, only to see people waiting outside the majestic and steep Hangu Pass.
He felt at ease, it seemed that these Qin people still respected him quite a bit.
In the last battle of Zhencheng, although Tian Chong was defeated, he was still captured by Zhao Tuo's son.
However, in order to completely destroy the Chu State, the Qin Army stabilized the Qi State on preferential terms. Not only did they return the captured Zhencheng, but they also sent back Tian Chong and thousands of captives.
Tian Chong, the general of the defeated army, thought that he would be humiliated after returning home, but he didn't know that although the people of Qi had resentment and contempt for him, they directed all their hatred and anger towards the remnants of the four kingdoms.
The people of Qi believed that it was because those remnants of the Four Kingdoms assassinated Tu Sui, the commander of the Qin State, that the Qin army made a sneak attack, leading to the defeat of the 100,000 Qi army.
The defeat of Zhencheng was not due to the incompetence of the Qi army, but the evil deeds of the remaining four kingdoms.
The source of everything is the fault of those remnants of the Four Kingdoms. They not only assassinated the prime minister who was friendly with Qin and then won, dragged Qi into the war, and caused Qi to suffer heavy losses.
In addition, in order to seek the understanding of the people of Qin, Qi State began to hunt down and hunt down these remnants of the four countries from top to bottom, not only expelling them all from Qi State, but also capturing many important prisoners. The chance to see Qin Chao is dedicated to King Qin for forgiveness.
As for him, Tian Chong, as the general of the defeated army, he was still able to serve as the Grand Sima, because the entire Qi State could not find anyone who was better at fighting than Tian Chong.
In a country that has not experienced war for more than 40 years, no Qi people under the age of 50 have been exposed to war.
In this case, it is impossible to judge whose military combat capability is stronger.
Therefore, the selection of generals and commanders in the state of Qi can only rely on the deduction of military tactics and commanding soldiers to form formations for training.
When it comes to the art of war, there is no one in Qi who can match Tian Chong.
In addition, he had commanded an army of 100,000 at any rate, such experience was unmatched by others.
Therefore, Qi Wangjian and Tian Jia had no choice but to raise the taller among the dwarfs, and continued to appoint Tian Chong as the great Sima to lead the army of Qi.
And the reason why he was sent to the Qin court this time was because Tian Chong's status was high enough that he was sent here so that Qin could show the sincerity of the people of Qi.
Secondly, Tian Chong had dealt with the people of Qin, and when Hou Sheng's party was almost killed, no one could be more suitable for the position of envoy of Qi State than him.
"I don't know who the Minister of Qin who greeted me this time is unlikely to be the two prime ministers. But I am also the great Sima of a country, and Qin will give me some face. Maybe they will send Bang Weiwei? Or Feng Jie, the imperial censor? Or Li Si, the court lieutenant?"
"If it's Wei Liao, I should talk to him about Wei's customs and get closer. If it's Feng Jie, maybe we can talk about his ancestor Feng Ting. If it's Li Si, we can talk about Xun Qing's Confucianism. In short, Try to be as enthusiastic as possible, this time I should make friends with the nobles of the Qin State, and let them speak well for my Qi State in front of King Qin."
Tian Chong thought in his heart, making plans for the next meeting.
It's just that when he thinks of Qin's ministers and generals, he can't help but see the appearance of a young general in his mind.
Tian Chong shuddered, and said to himself: "I heard that the shameless villain not only defeated Xiang Yan, but also killed King Xiong Qi of Chu. Now he is gaining momentum in Qin. I should avoid him when I enter Qin. .”
After a while, the convoy stopped outside Hangu Pass.
The envoy of Qin State in the distance has come.
Tian Chong took a deep breath, adjusted his appearance, and with a smile on his face, he got out of the car and went up to him.
"Wu Tianchong, I have seen..."
"Tian Da Sima, long time no see!"
A clear voice came, and Tian Chong was stunned in place, and the smile on his face froze.
In front of him, a young man in a dark suit strode forward with a warm smile on his face.
Tian Chong tremblingly said: "Zhao... Zhao Tuo, why is it you!"
"Your Majesty thought that Da Sima and I were old acquaintances, so he sent me here to greet him. Would Da Sima be pleasantly surprised?"
Zhao Tuo smiled and walked to Tian Chong's side, and said: "In the past, Da Sima often taught Zhao Tuo the art of war. He is really Tuo's good teacher and helpful friend."
"After Zhen Cheng left, I thought that I would never have the chance to see Da Sima again. I never thought that today I could reunite with my old friend outside Hangu Pass. This is really a great joy in life! Da Sima came to Qin this time, and I will treat him well. How quick it is to talk about the art of war with Da Sima again!"
Zhao Tuo looked kind and spoke warmly, as if he had seen an old friend for many years.
In Tian Chong's mind, he thought of the scene where he was scolded by Zhao Tuo as a "shameless person" in public when he was captured in the Qin camp.
His self-esteem was very strong, and when he thought of the scene at that time, his face flushed with shame, he didn't dare to look at Zhao Tuo, and quickly lowered his head.
But when he lowered his head, he happened to see Zhao Tuo's legs again, and the expression on his face became more and more sad.
Meng Yu and the others fell behind, watching this scene in amazement.
I heard that in the battle of Zhencheng, the reason why the 100,000 Qi army was defeated was because Zhao Tuo took advantage of the night to sneak attack.
They thought that the Grand Sima of the State of Qi would definitely feel dissatisfied, and when they saw Zhao Tuo this time, they couldn't help but sneer at him, and even felt angry.
But now this big Sima looks like a shy little daughter-in-law, in front of Zhao Tuo, he can only respond with a perfunctory "hmmm", unable to say a word.
Zhao Tuo talked for a while, seeing Tian Da Sima being obedient and not daring to look him in the eye, he suddenly felt a little bored.
He still likes Da Sima's heroic appearance in the past.
In the correspondence, Da Sima provocatively proclaimed his words, lashed out at Fang Qiu, and pointed out Zhao Tuo's art of war endlessly.
Only such a big Sima has charm.
"I heard that this time the Great Sima entered the Qin Dynasty, he specially sent some important people here. I don't know where it is?"
Seeing that Da Sima couldn't let go, Zhao Tuo turned his attention to the captives sent by Qi State.
Hearing this, Tian Chong hurriedly shouted: "Tian Dan, Zhao...Your Majesty wants to see those prisoners, and you bring them up."
"No, I'll go and have a look."
Zhao Tuo smiled faintly, and glanced at the Qi man named Tian Dan, he saw that he had a square face and big ears, he was about thirty years old, and his appearance was quite heroic.
He felt that he might have heard this name in his previous life, but he was not very familiar with it, so he couldn't remember the specific deeds.
He is more familiar with Tian Heng among the celebrities of the Tian family in the late Qin Dynasty, mainly because the story of "Tian Heng's five hundred scholars" is more famous.
Since he was not familiar with Tian Dan's name, he was probably not a big shot, so Zhao Tuo didn't think much about it, and followed the respectful Tian Dan to the rear of the convoy.
Seeing that Zhao Tuo went to meet those prisoners with Tian Dan with his personal guards, Tian Chong heaved a long sigh of relief, turned his head to look at Meng Yu, and smiled again on his face.
At this time, Zhao Tuo also met the first heavyweight.
King Jingzhao of Songyang of Chu State.
In the past, Jing Zhao led the King of Chu to Qi State to ask for help. With the help of people from the four countries, he fulfilled his mission and really asked Qi State to send troops.
At that moment, Jing Zhao had the possibility of repeating Shen Baoxu's incident.
But immediately after, the 100,000 Qi army was defeated in Zhencheng, and the people of Qin marched triumphantly, conquering the land of Chu, breaking Shouchun, and capturing the king of Chu. In the end, even Jiangdong fell into the hands of the people of Qin. Xiong Qi, the last king of Chu, killed himself.
Under such circumstances, the people of Qi feared Qin Ruhu, and not only expelled and killed people from the four kingdoms, but also took this guest from Chu as a prisoner as a gift to the King of Qin.
"Zhao Tuo... didn't expect that the little Zhonglang I saw in the hall when I entered the Qin Dynasty could do such a great thing. Xiang Qu was in the hall that day, and I'm afraid he would not have thought that he would be defeated by you in the end." .I never thought that the state of Chu would die in the hands of your little boy."
Jing Zhao looked at the boy in front of him with a complicated face, and sighed endlessly.
Zhao Tuo said calmly: "Mr. Songyang's words are serious. The death of Chu State was not at the hands of Zhao Tuo or the generals of Qin. It was at the hands of Chu's faint lords and courtiers. If the King of Chu is wise, Jun Xianchen is correct, even if our country of Qin can destroy Chu, it will not be so easy."
Jing Zhao was silent, he thought of King Chu of Chu, and You Yin Jinxia.
There are powerful enemies on the outside, and there are faint rulers and ministers on the inside. How can such a country not perish?
Zhao Tuo smiled. He didn't have much ill feeling towards this honest elder from Chu State, so he walked over.
At the rear is a carriage guarded by Qi warriors.
A person Zhao Tuo cares about is imprisoned.
That was another princely king at the end of Qin Dynasty in the original history.
Han Wangcheng.
That is to say, the old Korean Hengyang Lord, Han Cheng.
The reason why Zhao Tuo valued him was not only his princely status.
More importantly, if he remembers correctly, no matter in the original history or at this point in time, the strategist Zhang Zifang has assisted this person.
Thinking of that person's name, Zhao Tuo's eyes were full of chills.
Zhang Liang.
