Qin Official
Chapter 990 Don’t ask the common people, ask ghosts and gods
In late March, when Suihe returned to Henan from Hanoi, he met the mighty main force of Guanzhong in Mianchi, and Heifu's flag was also there.
Mianchi got its name from a lake left behind by the ancient Yellow River. As a suburb of Luoyang, it was controlled by the Qin State very early. The palace of King Zhao of Qin was built here. In the past, Emperor Qin Shi Huang often rested here when he visited the east. Since Hei Fulian, Afang and other Guanzhong palaces have returned to the public, what's more, they have settled here without ceremony, and the army is stationed by the pool for easy access to water.
When Sui He met with Hei Fu at the Mianchi Palace, his rival Li Shiqi had disappeared again, and he didn't know what task he had taken on to persuade any heroic prince. The world was in chaos right now, and they were the busiest people running around everywhere. These lobbyists rely on their words.
Heifu quickly summoned Suihe: "Sir, he has only been in Hanoi for a few days, and he already persuaded Sima Yan to surrender. His words are no less than those of Su Qin and Zhang Yi."
The biggest difference between Suihe and Li Shiqi is that he lacks the arrogance of a madman. He responded:
"The situation is too obvious. Qin is strong while Chu and Zhao are weak. They are besieged in the inner and outer suburbs and are about to be destroyed. Chu is also unable to protect itself and cannot cross the river to rescue. Sima Yan is trapped in Hanoi and has nothing to do. I just take the past events of King Wu of Zhou's defeat of Zhou. He came out and talked about it, and Xiaozhi moved it with emotion and reason, and finally let him choose: whether to be a villain who helps the tyrants and eventually be killed, or to be a wise and surrendering Wei Ziqi, who is praised by history books, it is up to him."
Heifu couldn't help but smile and said: "There are really many micro-deviants in this world."
"There are few people in the world who can share wealth and honor, and there are even fewer people who can share hardships. When disaster strikes, they will all fly away."
Not only Sima Xian, but also Zhang Liang, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes, also rebelled against the restoration cause. Heifu was really looking forward to the meeting after the war in the Central Plains, but when the General Staff set up the battle plan, he still had to consider the possibility of South Korea's false surrender. Taking sex into consideration...
"Otherwise, Mr. Sui is too humble. The real situation is extremely dangerous. How could it be so simple?"
At this time, the middle-aged official who returned with Sui He interjected:
"Sima Yan was still hesitant at first. When Zhao Xie's envoy was in Hanoi, he urgently accused Sima Yan of sending troops to rescue Handan. Mr. Sui rushed in directly, sat on the Zhao envoy, and said: 'General Sima has returned to Xia Gong. Why did Zhao send troops? 'Sima Xian had no choice but to kill Zhao's envoys and was willing to surrender to the regent!"
This man's name is Zhong Ming. He is a junior commander under Heifu when he was working as a tour guide in Humo Township, Wei District more than ten years ago. He is a native of Wen County, Hanoi.
Zhong Ming separated from Heifu after the battle to destroy Wei, and returned to Hanoi to work as a local official, living an ordinary life until the world was in chaos. As a native of Hanoi, he preserved himself and surrendered to Wei.
Under Ji Ying's instruction, the people from Heibingtai sneaked into Hanoi, found and contacted Zhong Ming, and through him contacted Xu Negi, a female fortune teller in Hanoi, and then exerted influence on Sima Yan.
This is what Chen Hui calls Black Ice Platform’s work in advance.
Zhong Ming is an old friend, and he also contributed a lot to collecting Hanoi this time. Heifu asked him to continue talking.
"In addition to Mr. Sui's lobbying, there is another reason why Sima Yan is willing to surrender, and that is the Hanoi female physiognomist Xu Negi. Xu Negative helped Xia Gong with all his strength, and through divination, Sima Yan was inclined to surrender."
"It is said that at that time, Sima Yan asked Xu Guan for divination and asked, if he fought to the death, could he save Hanoi?"
"As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Negi, who was holding a tortoise shell and holding grass, patted the tortoise shell and said: 'What the general asked is a ghost matter, not a human matter'."
"Sima Xuan asked, what do you mean by this?"
"Xu Fusui said softly, although I am a cheap divination, I also know that Qin has large armies from the north and south, with a hundred thousand troops, and is eyeing Hanoi."
"The Shang Dynasty defeated 700,000 people against 30,000 people with bloodshed, let alone the general stationed alone in Hanoi, with one enemy against ten. In such a situation, only ghosts and gods can save it, but it is difficult for manpower to save it. Isn't it a ghost thing?"
"That's why Sima Xuan gave up his resistance and Xu Negi contributed a lot..."
Xu Fu's name has been heard by many Heifu people. It is said that she is from Wen County. She was different from others when she was born. She held a jade in her hand. When she was a child, she could point out people on the street and tell them their blessings and misfortunes one by one. Once she made a mistake, she became famous in the county and became a female fortune teller who was highly respected by the people.
It is also said that Xu Fu had numbness on his face and was ugly. He had been wearing a mask since he was a child. A drunk hero once took the mask off and made fun of him. But the next day, the hero died inexplicably on the street. Everyone said that he had been punished by God. , no one dared to insult Xu Fu again.
Now that Zhong Ming has told the whole story, there may indeed be a bit of superstition in Sima Yan's ability to surrender.
Since she was a collaborator who knew current affairs, Hei Fu did not have to treat her like a monster and asked Chen Hui to reward her according to her merits.
Zhong Ming said: "Regent, Xu Negation said that she only admires the regent's kindness, and to save Hanoi from the disaster of weapons, her only hope is to pay homage to the regent and make predictions for him..."
Hei Fu was a little unhappy. It seemed that after so many years, Zhong Ming was not much smarter. As the informant of Hei Bingtai, he was deceived by the goddess stick.
He just smiled disapprovingly: "Is Xu Ning really so magical?"
Zhong Ming looked very convinced: "Many people have asked Xu Negative for a face-to-face, and they are all very accurate. For example, Wei Bao. When he was young, Xu Negative said that he would be extremely valuable in the future because he was the king of Wei."
"The fake King Wei is not a king." Sui He interrupted from the side:
"Did Xu Fu ever think that the Wei general would die again?"
"She must have figured it out. I also asked her for fortune-telling. She predicted that I will be rich in the rest of my life. When I meet a noble person again, won't I meet the regent again?"
Ambiguous rhetoric and probing for words and expressions, this is the fortune teller's ability to eat.
"She still thinks that when the villain returns, the regent will be in Mianchi..."
With flexible information and understanding of the world's geography, she can even guess Hei Fu's marching speed. This woman is extraordinary.
"She also told me about the Mianchi meeting decades ago."
Zhong Ming said: "Xu Fu said that that day was not just a banquet alliance between King Qin Zhaoxiang and King Zhao Huiwen, nor was it only Lin Xiangru who was protecting the dignity of Zhao. There were also two people at the banquet that day... Lord Bai Qi of Wu'an and Lord Zhao of Pingyuan. Win!"
"When Lin Xiangru forced King Zhao of Qin to strike the fou, Lord Wu'an raised his sword and Lord Pingyuan was sweating like rain, but he did not forget to observe Bai Qi's face."
"Many years later, before the Battle of Changping, King Zhao Xiaocheng asked: Who can be Lord Wu'an? King Pingyuan said: At the meeting in Mianchi, I observed Lord Wu'an. He had a small and sharp head, with clear white and black pupils. He could not turn his gaze away. His head is sharp, he is brave enough to act decisively, his eyes are divided into black and white, he sees things clearly, his gaze does not turn away, he has a strong will, he can endure, he is difficult to compete with, and he is honest enough to be worthy of it."
"This is also the method of fortune-telling. Xu Ji inherits his technique and is willing to dedicate it to the regent to help the regent to determine the world as soon as possible!"
Heifu nodded and looked at the old scholar: "Suihe, what do you think?"
Suihe's answer is very Confucian: "Divination is used to resolve doubts, so why not divination? As for the art of fortune-telling, it is just a trick to deceive the country people. The ancients said that when a country is about to prosper, listen to the people; when it is about to fall, listen to the gods. Wei Bao and Sima Yan both believed in Xu Hui, so they were either defeated or surrendered. The regents had hundreds of thousands of soldiers who fought vigorously, so why do they need Xiangshi? I don't think there is any need to see Xu Hui!"
"well said!"
Hei Fu held up his palm and said, "The road to heaven is far away, but the road to humanity is short. If Lord Pingyuan really had the magic of physiognomy, he would not have wanted to kill him when Zhao She killed his field officials, nor would he have waited for Mao Sui to recommend himself. So what if Xu Fu obtained his physiognomy?" "
In fact, Heifu's army often engages in superstition, and the Wing Camp even has "two warlocks, who are mainly deceitful and rely on ghosts and gods to confuse people's minds." However, it is enough for Heifu to have the endorsement of Taibo Xu Fu, and he is uncontrollable. The goddess stick, I have no interest at all.
"Right now, I would rather talk to the Kanto scholars about the common people in the world than about ghosts and gods!"
…
Although Zhong Ming failed to introduce Xu Negi, Hei Fu still made him the governor of Hanoi, supervising the road grain and crops in Hanoi.
After Hanoi surrendered, Hedong and Henan became connected with it. With the three rivers in hand, the Qin army established a firm foothold in the north and south of the river, and its strategic advantage became even greater.
"One hundred thousand reinforcements have arrived in Henan and rushed to the Sishui front line."
"When Sima Yen surrendered, the Luoyang army immediately crossed from Mengjin to the north and took over Hanoi. Han Xin's captain Guan Ying rode in from Taihang Road with frontier fortress chariots and ordered him to Baima Jin to pursue Zhang Er and his son and attack Dongjun to end the world. The spine!"
"Li Shiqi, Li Shang and Yong Chi of the Tongxiang Liang tribe, thought that they should respond internally, and Zhang Liang of Yingchuan could also respond..."
After the General Staff made the planning, the conditions for the war were all in place...
When reporting the plan to Heifu, Chen Hui pointed his hand at a point on the map, a place where Zhang Liang had predicted more than a year ago that "the future struggle for balance in the world will depend on this."
"Our army's plan is to gather reinforcements at the encirclement point of Xingyang, trap Zhongli Mei, and attract the main forces of Chu's Chenjun and Dangjun armies to engage in a decisive battle, striving to complete our success in one battle!"
…
