Chapter 561: A Different Principle of Horizontal Bars (Part II)

Who is Lu Zhe? If a year ago, Qi Wang Dan would have said that he was a nouveau riche who had stolen large tracts of land in the south, and he would have to express great disdain and contempt when he mentioned the words "Lu Zhe".

After the news came that Lü Zhe had defeated the Baiyue, Qin army, and Chu army, the nations that had not had actual contact with Lü Zhe would still show disdain when they talked about Lü Zhe, but they couldn't do anything about it.

There is a saying called "there is no vanity under the fame", of course, there is also "it is difficult to deserve under the fame", if you just defeat Baiyue, Lu Zhe is far from reaching the point of "fame", but Lu Zhe made an incomprehensible feat, after defeating Baiyue in a row, he also annihilated the southbound Qin army, and after fighting with the 150,000 Qin army, he turned back and gave the rising Chu State a blow, which directly beat the Chu State with the momentum of Zhongxing into a half-crippled appearance.

Obviously, "it is actually difficult to be worthy of fame" cannot be used on Lu Zhe, especially after the unconvinced Qi State pulled the Yan State and Lu Zhe to hunt for a meeting and won the annihilation of the whole army, the original disdain and contempt all turned into fear, who would dare to doubt that the prestige that Lu Zhe established with the sea of blood of the enemy's corpses was fake?

Unconsciously, the force that no one was optimistic about at first had grown into a towering tree, and at this moment the towering tree was still full of thorns and full of aggression, and they were stupid after eating the lesson, and they went to stimulate again and again, becoming the target of Lu Zhe's next attack. I didn't see that the state of Chu, which had irreconcilable contradictions with Lu Zhe, also relented...... Even succumbed to the point that as soon as Lu Zhe opened his mouth, he gathered nearly 300,000 troops and posed to obey Lu Zhe's orders?

If the three kingdoms of Qi, Yan, and Zhao can gain an advantage over the Shang Qin State, they may still have enough confidence to face Lu Zhe as kings, but the coalition army of nearly one million has no way to take 200,000 Qin troops, and they have suffered a lot of losses in several battles, how can they have the courage to provoke Lu Zhe again?

"I heard that the violent Qin wants to canonize Lu Shizhe as the king of Hanzhong, I don't know if the news is accurate?" Qi Wangdan's face was gloomy.

Canonization as a king has a "real king" and "virtual king", and the so-called real king is the kind of feudal king who has the actual jurisdiction of the fief. The Void King is empty, famous, and has no fiefdom. After the real king and the virtual king, there are also "single word kings" and "twin kings", and the single word king is more noble than the twin kings.

According to Zhou Li, there is no "jun" in the ranks, which is a kind of canonization that appeared later, which should be king, king, duke, marquis, uncle, son, and male. In the actual Zhou Li planning, the Zhou Gongju was restructured, and the so-called "Daqifeng" was carried out, with 500 li of Gong, 400 li of Hou, 300 li of Bo, and 200 li of Zi. Male Baili. However, after the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, this set of etiquette systems has long been counted.

There has never been an example of who is the king in the Qin State, and the highest is to seal the king, and the largest fief of the king is one city and one place. After the first emperor ascended the throne, whether it was for the king or for the emperor, there were only a few feudal kings, among which they were mainly to appease the clan, and the marquis was more feudal, and many of them were not marquis because of military merits. Most of the non-military meritorious feudal marquis is a kind of compromise and concession in politics. It greatly undermined the fairness of the law derived from the Shang Dynasty, and had a deep loose and destructive impact on the Qin law, which also laid the groundwork for the emperor to gather power in the future.

The First Emperor canonized Lü Zhe as a king on the grounds of rewarding him, which was the first time that Qin had canonized someone as a king. And the first object of canonization is a different surname, which is very thought-provoking here.

"I'm afraid it's wooing and killing." Zhao Wangxie is almost Lu Zhe's father-in-law, and he also has the intention of begging Lu Zhe to save his life at the necessary moment, and it is necessary to say a few good words for Lu Zhe.

"Woo ...... It is bound to be wooed. Who doesn't want to woo now? Qi Wangdan's face was gloomy and terrifying: "But it may not be possible to kill, with the prestige of Lu Shizhe, do you still need to kill?" ”

It is true that there is no need to make a name for Lu Zhe anymore, most of them have not competed in person before. I don't believe in Lu Zhe's strength, after going through so much, who would doubt that those rumors are not true?

Say a word that is not against his will, who doesn't want to win over Lu Zhe now is sick, if he can win over Lu Zhe to stand in his own camp, let alone be crowned king, no matter how big the price is, it is worth it. Didn't they get together today to discuss whether there was a possibility of succeeding in winning over Lu Zhe, and what price they were willing to pay?

"The matter of King Xiang has already been mentioned by Wei, Han, and Chu, and the news that comes back is that Lu Shizhe is noncommittal." Yan Wang Xia's Yan State is too far away from the south, and the sense of urgency in his heart is not as urgent as the Qi State that offended Lu Zhe, nor is it as urgent as the Zhao State that desperately needs Lu Zhe's support: "The top priority is to find a way not to make Han Wangzhe stand on the side of Qin, once he stands on Qin's side, ......"

Yo, Lu Zhe didn't claim the title of king, Yan Wang Xia used the title of Han Wang Zhe?

It is not difficult to guess Yan Guo's attitude, they are indeed afraid of being beaten in the hunt, and then Lu Zhe agreed to release Zang Di and receive Wei Man later, showing the goodwill of Xi àn twice, how should Yan Guo respond.

“…… Once Lu Shizhe is on the side of the Qin State, even if we have Toumanshan to help, I am afraid that it will be ...... to attack Qin" Qi Wang Dan was both angry and frustrated, and sighed after a long silence: "Is there any way?" ”

Qi Wang Dan asked if there was any way to win over Lu Zhe, and if he couldn't win over, he would let Lu Zhe not hinder the attack on Qin.

Lu Zhe has never had a fixed routine, and it is difficult to sort out his pulse and come up with a targeted strategy, so this step seems to be difficult to get through. They can only start from what Lu Zhe needs, and it is not difficult to guess what Lu Zhe needs.

"The mind of the Han Dynasty and the Zhe clan to destroy Baiyue has not changed, even under the premise of the great changes in the Central Plains, there is still an army of 200,000 attacking Lingnan. Lone had heard a rumor that Han Wangzhe not only wanted to conquer Lingnan, but also wanted to expand his territory to the southwest," Yan Wang Xia stopped and showed a mysterious expression, and also lowered his voice: "There will be such a determination that there are treasures in the further south, very important treasures." ”

Lu Zhe has already realized the two crops of rice seeds that Sima Xin snatched from Baiyue, because almost every county has selected many counties as experimental fields, and it is impossible to keep it secret, most of the countries are listening to it as rumors, but it does not prevent them from taking it out now as a reason for Lu Zhe to desperately go south.

The problem is that Lu Zhe's heart to go south is resolute, but it doesn't mean that he will not interfere when the north has a advantage, the current general trend of the world is that Qi, Yan, Zhao, and Xiongnu are one camp to attack Qin together, and Lu, Wei, Han, and Chu have become the party watching the show, do they dare to do their best to fight when someone covets them? If you don't fight with all your might, attacking Qin can be regarded as a joke.

For the side attacking Qin, the biggest trouble now is not the Qin State itself, it is Lu Zhe, a fierce tiger, who is lying on the side with a smile and waiting to see a good show, and I don't know if it will suddenly burst out at some point to grab food, or simply swallow it all.

Qi, Yan, Zhao, and Xiongnu prepared for two years to attack Qin, and they almost exhausted their calculations, and they only missed the rapid rise of Lü Zhe, and the result became what it is now.

In fact, even if the three kingdoms of Qi, Yan and Zhao do not want to attack Qin, it is impossible for Qin to stop counterattacking, not to mention that the three kingdoms of Qi, Yan and Zhao have also negotiated a timetable for attacking Qin with the Xiongnu Shan Yu, and it is really to the point where there is no way to retreat.

It is not impossible to recruit Lu Zhe to attack Qin together, but it is conceivable that the price to be paid is definitely something that the countries cannot afford, before the situation is completely bad, even if they are willing to pay a sufficient price, but what the Qi State should pay, and how much Zhao and Yan should bear, it is estimated that it is difficult to reach a consensus.

"In fact, how Lu Shizhe will choose depends on whether we attack Qin or not, and if we do so, what kind of shun lì method is." Qi Wangdan's words seemed to make some sense, but if he thought about it carefully, it was completely nonsense that he didn't even believe, but he still had to hold on and continue: "We only saw the strong side of Lu Shizhe, why don't we look at it from the weak side?" ”

After Qi Wangdan finished speaking, Tian Guang began to take over the topic and delve into it.

In Tian Guang's description, Lu Zhe's rise has only been two years, and even if he is really strong, he will not be too strong. Lu Zhe has always focused on the south, and Tian Guang explained that he was self-aware, thinking that Lu Zhe also understood that the rise was short and there was no corresponding background, so he had to chase and fight against Baiyue.

“…… It's very much like the appearance of a strong outsider and a cadre in the middle, if it is really as powerful as it seems, it should be to attack Qin in the west, swallow Wei and Han in the north, and destroy Chu in the east," Tian Guang asked in order to increase his persuasiveness: "Its territory is all Chu land, if it really has the strength to destroy Chu, how can it be let go?" After all, it is an intractable contradiction, and it can only be ended by the complete destruction of one of them. ”

Although he knew that the Qi State had already ridden the tiger, even if Lu Zhe was coveting him, he could only continue to attack Qin, but Tian Guang's words didn't sound completely unreasonable?

“…… Internal affairs and the reorganization of the army are indeed not possible to be done well in a short period of time," Zhao Wangxi glanced at everyone present: "But, it's better to be good than evil, right?" ”

Yan Wang Xia immediately nodded.

"What do you say!?" Qi Wangdan looked angry: "Do you really want to cut the soil to make amends?" It's the soil of Qi that is cut, of course you don't care. ”

Zhao Wangxi and Yan Wangxia were both stunned for a while, they didn't mention the topic of cutting soil, why did Qi Wangdan yell like this? And seeing that Wang Dan shouted out without even thinking about it, he should have been thinking about that possibility all along!

Qi Wangdan, who was out of shape, saw that many people were surprised, and he also knew that he had spit out the thoughts in his heart, and his face was blue and red, looking both embarrassed and ashamed.

But the current state of affairs is obvious, if Lu Zhe doesn't express his position, whether it is Qin or the other countries, they just want to fight hard and don't dare to do their best! (To be continued......)
