Qin Official

In Wuxian County, thousands of miles away from Puyang, in a small alley in Gusu City, there lives a Bo family. The courtyard is not big, with only two entrances, but it is well-kept by the diligent hostess, with black tiles and white walls, and red walls. The red door had obviously been painted with a new coat of paint, which had only been dry for a few days.

Bo Ji, the eldest daughter of the Bo family, is a well-known beauty in the village.

Today, she was weaving yarn in the back room when she heard a squeaking sound from outside. The family's yellow dog barked once and then stopped.

Needless to say, my father must have returned from the official temple.

Bo Ji's father, Bo Sheng, was a native of Wu County. He had been a guest of Chun Shen Jun many years ago, and later fled to Wei. Marrying her mother, Wei Wei, was actually an affair.

Bo Sheng later returned to Wu as a minor official, working for the meritorious Cao Xu Shu. A few months ago, Bo Sheng was implicated in Xu Shu's rebellion, and his whole family was almost killed. Fortunately, the Northern Expeditionary Army was attacking Wu County at that time, and a mutiny broke out in the city. The magistrate of Kuaiji County killed the county guard, and the Northern Expeditionary Army entered the city. Bo Sheng suddenly changed from a prisoner to a hero, and he became the magistrate of Wuxian County. The front door of his home was at that time. It was painted by the good-looking Wei Lao.

"Your father made four hundred stones, and my family can now be considered a 'rich family'." Bo Ji remembered that her mother said proudly at that time.

From the front door to the living room, I had to pass by the yard. I heard a faint hum from outside, which was a local Wu dialect song. It seemed that my father was in a good mood today.

"My dear, why are you so happy?"

The mother's voice came. Wei Wei was originally the daughter of the Wei clan. She fled with Bo Sheng when Wei died. She has never forgotten the days when she was a king's daughter.

But I heard my father laugh and say, "Madam, I've been promoted!"

The voice of the machine in the room continued, but from the conversation between his father and mother, Bo Ji learned that under the order of Marquis Wu Zhong, Jiangdong, under the control of the Northern Expeditionary Army, had recently undergone administrative restructuring:

Zhangjun was renamed Danyang County and governed Moling County (Jiangning District, Nanjing City). It also stationed troops in Jinling County to prevent Chu bandits in Huainan. Kuaiji was divided into two, with the Qiantang River as the boundary. The northern part was independent as Wu County and still governed Wu County; the southern part merged with Minzhong and was renamed Yue County and governed Shanyin County.

Interestingly, Marquis Wu Zhong appointed his brother Wu Rui as the "King of Yue" and the governor of Yue County. This was a grand and grand title. After making Wu Rui the king of Yue, he also asked him to send 10,000 Yue soldiers to the north. Support the Jianghan battlefield.

After the reorganization of Wu County, the county governor was Xu Shu, the county captain was Wei Yang, and the post of Wu County magistrate was actually given to Bo Sheng...

This is why Bo Sheng is so happy to go home.

one!

"One more happy event."

Bo Sheng had lowered his voice, but the soundproofing of the room was poor, and Bo Ji still heard: "What you asked me to say is done!"

Wei Wei was immediately overjoyed: "The commander-in-chief agreed?"

Bo Sheng said: "I agreed. I asked Governor Xu to be a matchmaker for me. How could I not agree? But he wants to meet my daughter first... Well, you should have heard that the county captain is very picky."

Wei's voice suddenly became louder: "I'll see you when I see you. Nannan is a famous beauty in the city. Everyone in the village says that she is the reincarnation of Xizi. Are you afraid that the county captain will look down on her?"

The chatter in the room suddenly stopped.

The conversation between the couple also stopped abruptly. They looked towards the back room, only to see Bo Ji coming to the door, wringing her hands and saying:

"Father, mother, daughter does not want to be a concubine."

"You stupid woman."

Wei Wei immediately stood up and scolded: "Wei Junwei is the nephew of Marquis Wu Zhong. He has become a high official in the border area when he was more than 20 years old. In the future, he will at least be a high official. If you marry him, even if you are a concubine, that is The road to wealth is better than being the wife of a poor man, so many families are trying to squeeze their daughters into it!"

"What's more, the commander-in-chief doesn't have a wife at the moment. If you are favored, you will have the opportunity to become the wife of the wife, and our family will be on a high branch!"

There is no need to elaborate on the laws of nature and human relations. Marriage is profitable. Wei Wei spent the first half of her life falling from wealth to poverty. She was really scared.

But Bo Ji had her own opinion and murmured: "But I heard that this Weiyang County Lieutenant has taken in three concubines since he entered Wu County..."

You know, Wei Yang has only been in charge of Wu for three months. He is probably a lustful person!

Wei Wei put her hands on her hips and lectured her daughter: "A man is lustful. What's wrong with having one wife and several concubines!?"

Bo Ji looked at her father, who was silently drinking water at the side: "My father only has one wife, my mother, which is not a bad thing. I even heard that the uncle of the Commander-in-Chief, Marquis Wu Zhong, also had only one wife and never took any concubines... …”

Wei Lao glared at her husband, who was pretending to get up to go to the toilet: "Your father doesn't dare to marry Xiao, is it because he is henpecked and dares to bring other women home? I'll break his legs! As for Wu Zhonghou..."

In Wei's opinion, Marquis Wu Zhong was a heroic figure who was famous all over the world, so it was definitely impossible for him to be henpecked.

So Wei Wei raised her eyebrows: "Can it be the same? How many Wu Zhonghou are there in this world!?"

…

The arm couldn't twist the thigh, so Zongbo Ji was reluctant. At the end of November of the 38th year of Qin Shihuang's reign, her mother took her to the county captain's mansion.

The Weiyang County Lieutenant seemed to really like the Wuyue woman. After taking in the third concubine, he walked back and forth and looked up and down at Bo Ji, who was so nervous that she clamped her legs, especially at her buttocks. Accept it gladly.

"Good woman!"

The marriage was hastily settled in this way, and Wei Yang even proposed to choose a date that would not collide with the sun, so that Bo Sheng could send his daughter over the day after tomorrow!

Such an eagerness made Bo Ji even more frightened, and she became more and more curious. They were both members of the Wei family, so why was Wei Yang so different from his father-in-law in terms of how he treated women?

Who knows, Weiyang's father-in-law is indeed a black man who is good at controlling himself.

But Weiyang also had two teachers, and the time he spent with them was no shorter than the time he spent with Zhong's father.

The first is Xu Fu. Xu Fu enjoys life very much. One of his hobbies is to collect yin and yang and learn the skills of the house. He especially likes virgins.

The knowledge that Xu Fu taught Weiyang is beyond words and is enough for him to benefit from for the rest of his life...

This is considered practice, and before Xu Fu, there was another master who profoundly influenced Wei Yang in theory.

That man’s name is Zhang Cang!

And Zhang Cang had dozens of concubines, and he was known as a lustful evil spirit!

Zhang Cang, who was well aware of the pleasures between men and women, once taught Wei Yang this way when he went to Jiaodong:

"Confucius said that eating and drinking, men and women, keep the great desires of people alive."

"Mozi also said that the sage has a biography: the heaven and the earth are called up and down; the four seasons are called yin and yang; the human feelings are called male and female; the animals are called male and female. This is the true way of heaven and earth. , even the virtuous kings of the past cannot change it. Therefore, the sages of the previous generations must have had private concubines, but they did not harm their character..."

At that time, Zhang Cang patted Wei Yang's shoulder with his chubby hand and said sincerely:

"Father Ru Zhong is afraid of his wife like a tiger and dare not take concubines. There are only a few people in the family, and the Wei family is flourishing. It depends on you!"

…

Weiyang's concubinage was extremely careless, but on the other hand, his sister's marriage seemed much more solemn.

In the past half month, Han Xin has returned to the peak of his life from the lowest point in his life.

Every time Han Xin met, he would always talk about the art of war, whether it was the ingenious use of the square formation or the flexible choice of avoiding the real and attacking the weak. An ordinary woman would definitely be drowsy, but it was rare for Wu Zhonghou's niece to be able to endure it. Temperament, listen to him talk loudly there, and he can even add a few sentences from time to time...

Seeing Xiaoyue like this, Han Xin talked even more energetically.

And when Hei Fu asked her opinion carefully, the girl just glanced at Zhong Mu who was sitting aside, smiled and said, "General Han is indeed a good match. He and I... had a great time talking."

After several blind dates, the matter was finally settled, but it would take several months to go through the process of accepting, asking for a name, accepting, accepting, and applying for a date.

After the marriage was arranged, Han Xin was a little troubled. He was highly regarded by Marquis Wuzhong, but there were some gossips in the old Nanjun tribe in Jiangling. For example, he was so favored despite losing the battle, and those children of the old tribe were also interested in proposing marriage to Marquis Wuzhong's family. Even more angry.

"How can the Wuzhonghou family call a husband as their son-in-law?"

This made Han Xin very uncomfortable. He was able to get to where he is today because he was indeed promoted by Wuzhonghou, but he also relied on his own ability and fought tough battles one after another!

So in December of the 38th month of Qin Shihuang's thirty-eighth year, after the marriage was decided, Han Xin finally couldn't sit still, visited Hei Fu, and asked him for a battle...

"Don't rush to ask for a fight. Let's take a look at the news just sent back from the Central Plains."

With a marriage, the relationship between the two became closer. Heifu handed an urgent message to Han Xin. Han Xin took it and looked at it, and his expression changed slightly.

"Kill two kings in a row within ten days?"

Hei Fu nodded: "This is Wang Ben. He was busy confronting us in the summer and autumn, so he stayed on the defensive in the Central Plains, letting Chu, Wei and Han jump up and down. But now his troops have shrunk and freed up, relying on the Northern Corps' chariots and cavalry. Taking advantage of their superiority, they raided Han and Wei, overthrew King Cheng of Han and King Jiu of Wei, and even set up an ambush to annihilate thousands of Chu troops who were supporting Wei and Han!"

Regarding this, Heifu just wants to comment...

Your uncle is still your uncle!

Uncle Wang has now become the wall of the empire, the barrier outside the barrier, causing all the testers, including the rising star Han Xin, to break their heads and bleed.

Heifu asked: "In your opinion, what does Wang Ben want to do when he suddenly attacks the east? Is he trying to change his strategy and defend from the south to attack from the east?"

Han Xin said: "I don't think Wang Ben wants to march eastward to regain the counties of Liang and Chu, but wants to clear out the threats on his flanks before the war starts again in the spring, ensure the safety of Aocang and Chenggao, and focus on resisting the Northern Expedition's attack. Hanzhong, Nanyang.”

"That's right, with the current situation in the north, there is not enough progress but enough discipline. In terms of attack, Wang Ben can be said to be the one who moves above the nine heavens. In terms of defense, he is also hiding under the nine earth." Heifu agreed with Han Xin's view.

"But there is one more thing. Wang Ben suddenly attacked Han and Wei, most likely because he wanted to give an explanation to the Xianyang court..."

Heifu knew that Wang Ben had had a hard time in the past six months. He failed to conquer Jianghan, and was even more disturbed by Han Xin behind him. He burned hundreds of thousands of grains and grains, and the east of Daliang was almost completely lost. The partial division sent to Bajun also disappeared. thing.

If Wang Ben was not the only general left in the Qin court who could command hundreds of thousands of troops, he would have been dismissed by the angry Hu Hai.

Therefore, Wang Ben needs to do something to make the battle better and give Xianyang some hope...

"But General Wang, I'm afraid things may backfire."

Heifu couldn't hide the smile on his face and handed another report to Han Xin.

"General Dongmen has defeated Shangyong, attacked Xicheng (Ankang, Shaanxi Province), and blocked the reinforcements sent from Guanzhong to Bajun on the Micang Road?"

Han Xin and Dongmen Bao had settled a grudge, and secretly curled their lips when they saw the news.

"The Dongmen Leopard Fruit is a common man. If it were me, I would have captured Nanzheng long ago!"

At least he didn't say it on the spot.

But the following news makes it hard not to feel happy.

"Feng Jie, who was trapped in Jiangzhou County, was besieged by a large army. He could not wait for reinforcements for a long time and was defeated. Most of his subordinates were captured. Feng Jie himself...surrendered?"

Han Xin was shocked, but heard Hei Fu sigh:

"The Feng family are all foolish and loyal people. Although Feng Jie is a mediocre general, he is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. He did not surrender. When Jiangzhou city was destroyed, he fought hard and refused to give in. Seeing that the situation was irreversible, he committed suicide on the riverside. The head had been pickled with lime and secretly sent to Jiangling..."

"Then why..."

Han Xin suddenly realized: "The Lord deliberately described Feng Jie as a surrender!"

"That's right, at this moment, this matter, together with Lu Jia's forged confession of Feng Jie's surrender, has spread from Bashu to Xianyang, and it will definitely cause an uproar in the puppet emperor's court!"

Heifu smiled and said: "Wang Ben is indeed a fortress, I admit it, but don't forget..."

"Strong fortresses can only be breached from within!"
