When people were in Qin, the advantage was mine

Chapter 50 Right to choose

……

Ying Chen also knew the news that Gan Luo failed to convince Zhang Tang.

He had no interest in this matter, and it didn't matter who he sent anyway.

After all, in this era, the rich and the rich have many friends, while the poor and the humble have few friends. It is true that there is no strong concept of family and country, and only snobbishness is the mainstream.

Otherwise, the State of Wei would not have the title of "the place where talents from the State of Qin are exported". Zhang Yi and Shang Yang all came from outside. Meng Ao was from the State of Qi, and Lu Buwei was from the State of Wei. The future Li Si, the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, was a native of Chu.

In this era, except for the top nobles who are almost inseparable from the country, or members of the clan, almost no one will talk about patriotism, which has no meaning. The concept of family and country was formally formed after the Han Dynasty, when Confucianism occupied absolute dominance in the ideological field. Status, the concept of harmonizing the family and governing the country deeply affects everyone. Therefore, in this era, don't talk about patriotism, or you will be laughed at.

If Zhang Tang joins the State of Yan, he actually has nothing to do with the State of Qin. But don't think about why Zhang Tang would go to the State of Yan to serve as the prime minister and serve as an undercover agent of the State of Qin. If someone really dares to do this, he will Being reviled by everyone in the world!
Because not only does this not show Zhang Tang's loyalty to Qin, but it will make everyone think that this guy is a two-faced villain!
Even for the Chu clan within the Qin Dynasty, their basic position is Qin. When the interests of Qin and Chu are both put in front of them, they will choose Qin without hesitation!

If you don’t understand it well, to put it another way, if Zhang Tang went to Yan State, it would be like a modern person being poached by someone from another company to become a senior executive. For the person involved, this is just a change of company. Just go to work.

Would a normal person, after going to another company as a senior executive, think about harming the interests of his current company to satisfy the interests of his former boss?

If someone really did this, guess what people would say about this person?
……

Zhang House.

Zhang Tang was active in the court of Qin during the period of King Zhao. In many battles against Zhao, his great military exploits have proven his talents. However, since the death of Wu'an Jun Bai Qi, Zhang Tang has gradually faded away. The court of Qin.

Of course, Zhang Tang's situation is different from that of Wang Lu. Although he has a friendship with Bai Qi, it is not that deep. In the military, he is considered a kind of person who protects himself wisely and does not favor anyone. But it is also for this reason that the original history Zhang Tang, who was on the throne, was pointed out by Gan Luo that Lu Buwei was powerful, and Zhang Tang was forced to enter Yan.

There is no other way to protect yourself, but it also means you have no backing.

"Loyang Jun, are you here to be a lobbyist too?"

Seeing Ying Chen suddenly coming to his house, Zhang Tang's thoughts gradually became complicated.

"No." Ying Chen shook his head.

"I'm just here to give you a choice."

"Choose?" Zhang Tang was stunned and looked puzzled.

He was not close to Ying Chen. He had been silent in the military for the past ten years. How could Ying Chen notice him?

"I heard that you don't want to join Yan because you are worried that Zhao will be unfavorable to you." Ying Chen said.

"What if I help you solve Zhao's troubles?"

"What do you mean?" Zhang Tang asked.

Ying Chen picked up the tea cup and said softly: "One hundred thousand Pingyang troops only need to make a slight move in the direction of Changping. General Zhang, do you think Zhao Guo still dares to move you?"

"..."

"Lord Luoyang wants me to enter Yan?" Zhang Tang's thoughts became complicated.

He was able to reject Lu Buwei because the military today is only under the jurisdiction of Ying Chen. As long as he does not offend the military commander Ying Chen, there will be no problem. But now, if even Ying Chen wants him to join Yan, he still has Choice?

"I won't express my opinion. I said, I just give you a choice." Ying Chen put down the tea cup.

"If you want to go, then I will help you solve Zhao's troubles. If you don't want to go, you don't have to worry about Lu Buwei."

"Why are you helping me like this?" Zhang Tang was confused.He has always protected himself wisely over the years and has never taken sides with anyone. There is nothing he can do about it. Bai Qi's attempt to inflict crimes back then was a huge blow to the military. Everyone originally yearned for the illustrious military exploits. After Bai Qi's death, everyone even felt a little bit He was afraid, for fear that someone would blow the wind in King Qin's ears again, and then he would end up like Bai Qi.

Dead for no apparent reason!

To be honest, those of them who are fighting on the battlefield are not afraid of death. Even dying on the battlefield is considered an honor. However, it is unacceptable to die inexplicably like Bai Qi!
What did King Zhao say back then? After Bai Qi died, there was no one in Qin who could take over. Was there really no one?Even if there were, who would dare to stand up?Aren't you afraid that you and Bai Qi will end up the same way?

Therefore, since Bai Qi's death, the military of Qin State has been silent for a long time. It is not because of mourning for Bai Qi. This kind of nonsense is just to deceive children!

The real reason is that everyone is afraid!

Bai Qi can kill anyone who has merit or demerit at will, but what about them?

If King Zhao hadn't died within a few years and the Meng family had become the backbone, or shield, of the military, I really don't know how long the military would have been silent.

The military has become more active in recent years because there is a powerful shield like Ying Chen standing in front of everyone. Even if the sky falls, only Ying Chen, the tallest person, will hold it up, so the people in the military have no scruples. Qin The army also cheered up again.

"Wang Lu and Huan Juan wrote to me, saying that they saw how cautious you have been in Qin these years. I pity you and see if I can do you a favor and help you change the stage." Ying Chen said.

"After all, you are old. Now the Qin State will not make any big moves in a short time. Small wars are mostly carried out by young people, and you have little chance. Therefore, this time, joining Yan as prime minister is also Your chance."

To put it bluntly, Zhang Tang has little room for advancement in today's Qin State, and there is no opportunity for him to make meritorious deeds. There is no place for heroes.

Although the Yan State is weak, joining Yan as prime minister is also an improvement for Zhang Tang today, giving him room to perform.

Not everyone is as lazy as Ying Chen. Most people like to work hard and want to be famous and leave a name in history.

"So, you can make your own choice. You don't have to feel any pressure to join Yan or stay in Qin. I won't force you anyway. As long as I'm here, Lu Buwei won't dare to force you."

After saying that, Ying Chen stood up.

"Whether you want to stay in Qin State or go to Yan State to show your skills, that's fine, I have no objection."

"..."

"Then do you think I should join Yan or stay in Qin?" Zhang Tang asked.

Ying Chen paused, "Stay in Qin to take care of your old age, and join Yan..."

"It's okay to have some fun."

If it were the Yan State during the period of King Yan Zhao, there would still be hope, but the current Yan State... Even if Jiang Ziya comes, you can't save it. Just like South Korea, there is no chance.

Qi's heritage is still there, and if a ZTE leader comes, it may not be able to rise again.

The Chu State has a vast territory and abundant resources. If it can resolve the civil strife, it may not be impossible to conquer the Central Plains.

In Wei State, if Lord Xinling can be ruthless and seize power, with his ability, Wei State will have the possibility of achieving greater glory.

The same goes for Zhao State. These countries actually still have opportunities. Although the opportunities are slim, they are not impossible.

But Yan and South Korea wanted nothing to do with it.

To be honest, if the six countries really work together to fight against Qin, Qin will still be very dangerous, but can they do it?
To say that the most united war among the five countries should be the one against Qi. They were really united and defeated Qi, which was much stronger than Qin at the time.

The rest of the time...tsk.
