Nie Zheng comes from a deep well in Qiyi. He fled to Qi with his mother and sister to kill people, killing livestock as a profession. After a long time, Yan Zhongzi of Puyang served Han Aihou and made enemies with Korean national chivalrous men. Yan Zhongzi was afraid of being killed and ran away. He looked around for someone who could avenge him in Xia Lei.

When I arrived in the State of Qi, some people in the State of Qi said that Nie Zheng was a brave man, because he was hiding among butchers. Yan Zhongzi visited home and went back and forth many times. Then, he prepared a banquet and personally took a cup to propose a toast to Nie Zheng's mother. While drinking and having fun, Yan Zhongzi gave Nie Zheng's mother 100 ounces of gold as a birthday present. Nie Zheng was surprised by this gift and resolutely refused Yan Zhongzi.

Yan Zhongzi insisted on sending it. Nie Zheng declined politely and said, "I am very lucky to have an old mother alive. Although my family is poor, I live here as a guest. I kill pigs and dogs for a living. Buy something sweet and crisp in the morning and evening to support the old mother. My mother's support is still complete, but I dare not accept Nakako's reward. "

Yan Zhongzi avoided others and took the opportunity to say to Nie Zheng, "I have enemies. I have traveled to many vassal States, and I have not found anyone to avenge me. " But when I came to Qi, I heard privately that you were very loyal, so I offered hundreds of taels of gold as the coarse grains for your mother's adult, so I could make friends with you. How dare I ask for anything else? "

Nie Zheng said: "I feel humbled and humiliated. I am the butcher of this market and just want to support my mother." When my mother was alive, I dared not entrust myself to others. Yan Zhongzi insisted on giving it, but Nie Zheng refused to accept it. However, Yan Zhongzi finally fulfilled the etiquette of meeting both sides and left.

After a long time, Nie Zheng's mother died. After the funeral, until the mourning period ended, Nie Zheng said, "Alas! I'm just a common people, killing pigs and dogs with a knife. Yan Zhongzi is a vassal minister, but he has traveled thousands of miles to make friends with me.

My friendship with others is too shallow and insignificant, and nothing can offset his kindness to me. Although Yan Zhongzi gave hundreds of gold for his mother's birthday, I confiscated it, but it shows that he knows me very well.

A virtuous man, angry at a little hatred, regards me as a confidant, a poor butcher in a remote place. How can I keep silent and let it go? Besides, when I was invited before, I didn't agree only because my mother was still alive. Now that my mother has enjoyed her life, it's time for me to make some contributions to those who know me. "

So I went west to Puyang, met Yan Zhongzi, and said, "I didn't agree with Zhongzi's invitation before, just because my mother was still alive;" Now, unfortunately, my mother enjoys her life. Who is the enemy that the neutron wants to retaliate against? Please let me do it! "

Yan Zhongzi told him truthfully: "My enemy is Xia Lei, the prime minister of South Korea, and Xia Lei is the uncle of the monarch of South Korea. He has a strong clan and a large number of people. The soldiers where he lives are heavily guarded. I tried to send someone to assassinate him, but I never succeeded. Now, thank you for not abandoning me and agreeing to increase the number of strong men riding cars as your assistants. "

Nie Zheng said: "South Korea and Weiguo are not far apart. Now, someone else's prime minister has been assassinated, and the prime minister is a relative of the monarch. In this case, many people can't go. Too many people will inevitably have an accident. If there is an accident, the news will be leaked. It means that all Korean people are against you. Isn't this too dangerous! " So he refused to ride with everyone, bid farewell to Yan Zhongzi and went alone.

He went to the capital of South Korea with a sword. South Korean Prime Minister Xia Lei happened to be sitting in the class, and there were many guards with knives and halberds. Go straight in, go up the steps to assassinate Xia Lei, and the attendants are in a mess. Nie Zheng shouted, and dozens of people were killed by him. He also tried to ruin his face, gouge out his eyes, cut open his stomach and let his intestines go, so he died.

South Korea put Nie Zheng's body on display in the market, and offered a reward to the family who found the murderer. Nobody knows. So South Korea offered a reward, and anyone who could name the person who killed Prime Minister Xia Lei gave it to his daughter. After a long time, no one knows.

Nie Zheng's sister Nie Qing heard that someone had assassinated the South Korean Prime Minister, but she didn't know who the murderer was. No one in Korea knows his name. She showed his body and offered a reward for people to identify it. She sobbed and said, "Maybe it's my brother. Hey, Yan Zhongzi knows my brother! "

So I set off at once, went to the capital of South Korea and came to the market. The deceased was really Nie Zheng, so I cried on the body and said, "This is the so-called deep well Nie Zheng." Everyone in the street said, "This man killed the prime minister of our country in cold blood, and the king offered thousands of dollars to find out his name. Didn't your wife hear you? " How dare you come to identify the body? "

Nie Qing answered them: "I heard. However, Nie Zheng was humiliated. He did not hesitate to mix with those who killed pigs and sold meat, because my mother was still alive and I was not married. After my mother died, I got married. Yan Zhongzi chose my brother from a poor situation to make friends with him. His kindness is profound. What can my brother do?

A soldier should sacrifice his life for his bosom friend. Now, because I still live in the world, I have destroyed my face and body beyond recognition, so as not to implicate others. How can I be afraid of being killed and bury my brother's reputation forever? "The whole people in the street were shocked. Nie Qing shouted "Oh, my God" three times, and finally died beside Nie Zheng because of excessive sadness.

When people from Jin, Chu, Qi and Wei heard the news, they all said, "Not only is Nie Zheng very capable, but his sister is also a strong woman. If Nie Zheng really knew that his sister didn't have a forbearing personality and didn't care about the sufferings of a vegetarian meal, he must cross thousands of miles of difficulties and make his name public, so that the two brothers and sisters could die together in the streets of South Korea, then he might not dare to commit suicide to Yan Zhongzi.

Yan Zhongzi can also be said to know people and be good at their duties in order to win the wise men! "

Jing Ke was a patriotic man, and his ancestors were Qi people. Later, he moved to Weiguo, and the Weiguo people called him Qingqing. When he arrived in the State of Yan, people in the State of Yan called him Jing Qing.

Love reading and fencing, and used fencing to lobby Wei. Wei did not appoint him. Since then, Qin attacked Wei, established Dongjun, and moved Wei's collateral relatives to the wild king.

Jing Ke strolls in Yuci and talks with Nie Gai about fencing. Nie Gai glared at him. After Jing Ke went out, it was suggested that Nie Gai call Jing Ke back again. Nie Gai said, "I just talked to him about fencing, and he talked about something inappropriate. I stared at him with my eyes; Go and find it. I stared at him. He should go and dare not stay here any longer. "

Send someone to Jing Ke's residence to ask the landlord that Jing Ke has left Yuci by car. When the dispatched personnel came back to report, Nie Gai said, "It's time to leave. I stared at him just now and he was afraid. " Jing Ke roamed Handan, and Lu Goujian and Jing Ke argued about the way to enter Bo. Lu Goujian scolded him angrily, but Jing Ke ran away silently and never met again.

When Jing Ke arrived in Yan State, he was in contact with a dog killer and an expert in fighting and building. Jing Ke is particularly fond of drinking. He drinks with the butcher who killed the dog and Gao Jianli in Yan market every day. Drunk, Gao Jianli beat the floor, Jing Ke sang in the street with the beat festival, entertained each other, and then cried to each other, no one was watching.

Although Jing Ke is mixed with drunkards, he is deep and steady, and likes reading. He traveled to vassal states and made friends with local sages, heroes and respected people. After he arrived in Yan State, Mr. Tian Guang, a hermit of Yan State, also treated him very well, knowing that he was not a mediocrity.

Soon after, Yan Taizi Dan, who happened to be a hostage in Qin State, fled back to Yan State. Yan Taizi Dan was once a hostage of Zhao, and Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, was born in Zhao. When I was a teenager, I was closely related to Taizi Dan. When Ying Zheng was the king of Qin, Taizi Dan went to the State of Qin as a hostage. The king of Qin was unfriendly to the prince, who fled home because of resentment.

When he came back, he wanted to take revenge on the king of Qin. Yan is very weak, beyond her power. Since then, Qin has sent troops to Shandong every day, attacking Qi, Chu and Sanjin, and gradually devouring the country like a silkworm eating mulberry leaves. The war will spread to the state of Yan, and all the princes and ministers of Yan are afraid of catastrophe. Taizidan was very worried about this, so he went to ask his teacher Ju Wu.

Ju Wu replied, "The land of Qin is all over the world, threatening Korea, Wei and Zhao. There are Ganquan and Gukou in the north, fertile fields in the Jinghe and Weishui river basins in the south, rich Baxian and Hanzhong areas, with Longshu Mountain as the barrier on the right and Yaoshan and Hanguguan as the fortress on the left. It has a large population, well-trained soldiers and more than enough weapons and equipment.

If there is an intention to expand outward, there will be no safe place south of the Great Wall or north of Yishui. Why touch the lamella of the king of Qin because of the resentment of being bullied? "Taizi Dan said," in that case, what should we do? " Ju Wu replied, "Let me think about it again. "

After a while, Fan, a general of the State of Qin, offended the King of Qin in the period of (wū, Ukraine) and fled to the State of Yan. The prince accepted him and let him live. Ju Wu advised: "No, the king of Qin is cruel, and he has been bitter in Yan for a long time, which is enough to make people tremble with fear, what's more, he heard that General Fan lives here. This is called' putting meat on the road where the hungry tiger passes', and the disaster must be irreversible!

Even with Guan Zhong and Yan Ying, I can't persuade you. I hope you can send General Fan to Xiongnu as soon as possible to eliminate the excuse that Qin attacked us. Please make an alliance with Sanjin in the west, contact Qi and Chu in the south, and make up with Khan in the north, and you can find a way to deal with Qin. "

Taizidan said: "The teacher's plan takes too long, and I feel depressed. I'm afraid I can't wait a moment. " Besides, it's not just this reason that General Fan defected to me because of the chaos in the world. I can't abandon my sympathetic friend because of the tyrannical state of Qin and send him to Xiongnu. This should be the end of my life.

I hope the teacher will consider other ways. Home Ownership Scheme said: "Choose dangerous actions to seek safety, create disasters, pray for happiness, plan shallowly and hold grudges. In order to make a new friend, regardless of the great disaster of the country, this is the so-called' saving the enemy and helping the disaster'. Put goose feathers on charcoal and it will burn immediately.

What's more, Qin, as fierce as a vulture, vented hatred and cruel anger against Yan. Do you need to say it? There is a Mr. Tian Guang in Yan State. He is resourceful, brave and calm. You can discuss with him. The prince said, "I hope to make friends with Mr. Tian through my teacher, can I?" Ju Wudao: "Yes."

When he went out to see Mr. Tian, he said, "You want to discuss state affairs with Mr. Tian." Tian Guang said, "I am willing to learn." I visited the prince. The prince stepped forward to meet Tian Guang, led the way backwards, and knelt down to wipe the seat and let Tian Guang sit down. After Tian Guang sat firmly, there was no one else around. The prince left the table and asked Tian Guang, "Yan and Qin became sworn friends. I hope you pay attention. "

Tian Guang said: "I heard that when Huiji is strong, he can run thousands of miles a day. When he is old, even inferior horses can run ahead of him. Now the prince has only heard about my prime of life, but he doesn't know that my energy has failed. Even so, I can't plan state affairs without authorization. My good friend Jing Qing can undertake this mission. "

The prince said, "I hope to make friends with Jing Qing through my husband, can I?" Tian Guang said, "Yes." So he got up at once and hurried out. The prince saw him to the door and warned, "What I said, what Mr. Wang said, is a national event. I hope Mr. Wang will not reveal it! "

Tian Guang bowed down and smiled, "Yes." Tian Guang bent down to see Jing Qing and said, "You and I are very close. Everyone in Yan State knows it. Now the prince has heard about my prime of life, but he doesn't know that my body is exhausted. I was honored to listen to his teachings and said,' Yan and Qin swore an oath to each other. I hope you can pay attention.

I haven't met you personally, but I recommended you to the prince. I hope you can visit the prince in the palace. Jing Ke said, "I want to learn." "Tian Guang said," I heard that an old man should not be suspected by others. Now the prince has warned me:' I'm talking about national affairs, I hope you won't reveal it'. This is because the prince suspects me.

A person who acts but makes others doubt him is not an upright and loyal person. He tried to motivate Jing Qing by committing suicide, saying, "I hope you can see the prince at once and tell him that I am dead, which shows that I won't reveal the secret." So he choked to death. Jing Ke then went to see the prince and told him that Tian Guang was dead, and conveyed Tian Guang's words.

The prince knelt down, made two obeisances, and went to his knees and wept bitterly. After a while, he said, "I warned tian teacher not to talk, because I wanted to make the plan of the major event successful. Now Mr. Tian uses death to show that he won't tell. Is it my original intention? " Jing Ke sat firmly, and the prince left to knock on his head, saying, "Mr. Tian didn't know I wasn't motivated, so I came to see you.

I take the liberty of making a statement. This is God's pity for Yan and will not abandon me. Now the king of Qin has greedy ambitions, and his desires will not be satisfied. His ambition will not be satisfied until he occupies all the land in the world and makes the kings of all countries submit to him. Now the state of Qin has captured Hanwang and occupied all his territory.

He sent troops to attack Chu in the south and Zhao in the north; Wang Jianling led hundreds of thousands of troops to Zhangshui and Yexian, and Li Xin sent troops to Taiyuan and Yunzhong. Zhao Can can't resist, but will definitely submit to Qin; When Zhao surrendered, disaster would befall Yan. Yan is weak and has been plagued by war for many times. Now it is estimated that mobilizing all the national forces can't resist Qin Jun.

Governors are afraid of Qin, and no one dares to advocate the policy of integration. I secretly have an immature plan, thinking that if we can really get all the warriors in the world to the state of Qin and lure the king of Qin with huge sums of money, the king of Qin will be insatiable, and the situation will certainly achieve our wishes. If we can really hijack the King of Qin and let him return all the land occupied by other countries, just like Cao Mo hijacked Qi Huangong, that would be great.

If not, kill him when you can. Their generals in the state of Qin monopolize military power abroad, but there are difficulties at home, and the monarch and his subjects are suspicious of each other. Take this opportunity, the eastern countries can unite and will certainly defeat Qin. This is my highest wish, but I don't know who to entrust this mission to. I hope Jing Qing will consider this matter carefully. "

After a long time, Jing Ke said: "This is a national event. I am not qualified for it because of my poor talent." The prince stepped forward and banged his head on the ground, insisting not to dodge, and then Jing Ke agreed. At that time, the prince addressed Jing Qing as Shangqing and stayed in a high-class hotel. The prince goes to Jing Ke's residence every day.

Providing expensive food and giving exotic things from time to time, let Jing Ke do whatever he wants to satisfy his wishes. After a long time, Jing Ke still showed no signs of action. At this time, the Qin general Wang Jian had already breached the capital of Zhao, captured the king of Zhao, and incorporated all the territory of Zhao into the territory of Qin.

The army advanced and seized the land in the north until the southern border of Yan State. Prince Taizi Dan was afraid, so he asked Jing Ke to say, "Qin Jun will cross Yishui sooner or later. At that time, even if I want to wait on you for a long time, how can I! " Jing Ke said, "Even if the Prince doesn't say anything, I will ask for action.

Now go to the state of Qin, and if nothing can convince the king of Qin, then the king of Qin can't get close. General Fan of the King of Qin offered a reward of 1,000 kilograms of gold, and thousands of households bought his head. If I can really get the head of General Fan and the map of Duke Kang of Yan to the King of Qin, the King of Qin will be very happy to see me, so that I can have a chance to work for you. "

The prince said, "General Fan only came to see me at the end of the road. I can't bear to hurt my elders' hearts for my own benefit. I hope you will consider other ways! " Knowing that the prince could not bear it, Jing Ke met Fan privately and said, "Qin was cruel to the general, and his parents and family were killed. Now I hear that you will buy the general's head for 1000 pounds of gold. What are you going to do? "

Looking at the future sky, I sighed and cried, "Every time I think about it, it hurts my bones, but I can't think of a way!" " Jing Ke said, "Now there is a saying that can relieve the evil of Yan State and clear the general's hatred. How's it going? "I leaned forward and said," what should I do? "

Jing Ke said, "I hope to get the general's head and give it to the king of Qin. Of course, the king of Qin will be happy to summon me. I will grab his sleeve with my left hand and stab him in the chest with my right hand. Then the general's hatred can be washed away, and Yan's humiliation can be washed away. Does the general have this intention? " Van Yuqi took off one sleeve, revealing his arm, holding the other wrist tightly with one hand.

Lu Goujian heard about Jing Ke stabbing the king of Qin, and said privately, "Alas, he can't stab the sword! I don't know anyone! When I scold you, you treat me like I'm not a person! "

Taishi Gong said: People talk a lot about Jing Ke, calling him the life of Taizi Dan. "When the sun falls, the horse makes a beautiful baby.". And Jing Ke hurt the king of Qin, all is not also. When Gong, Dong Sheng and Xia Wuqie traveled, they knew about it, which is what I said. From Cao Mo to Jing Ke, five people, this idea may or may not be successful, but its conception is more natural, not deceiving its ambition, and it will be famous for future generations. What a mistake!
