Daqin Fusu: It is difficult to start the battle

Chapter 140: Not Becoming a Son of Man!

As the saying goes, snow is not cold, snow is cold.

Most of the snow that covered Xianyang City last night had melted under the sun. Although it was close to noon, the air was cold and humid. A gust of cool wind blew by, making the backs of Feng's father and son who were helping to leave Qinzheng Hall, It looks more and more bleak.

Beside them are Meng Yi, son Dagon and others with fluttering sleeves and windy walks.

Needless to say, the young master Dagon and others who made a fortune from it, Meng Yi's joy is that the Meng family's investment in Fusu for many years has finally seen a return.

Although Meng Tian has no chance of getting married so far, he is no different from a prime minister when he was granted the title of Marquis of Guannei and opened a mansion.

As for himself, as Lang Zhongling, he was able to participate in political affairs beyond the left and right prime ministers, so he decided to resign from the post of Lang Zhongling after Meng Tian returned to Xianyang, and go to work as a county guard outside Xianyang.

This is because of the unspoken rules of Qin State since Shang Yang's reform, the prime minister starts from the state department, and the fierce generals start from the army.

For example, Zhang Yi and Gong Zihua captured Puyang together, and then seized fifteen counties in Shangjun from Wei State; Lu Buwei had the merit of destroying the Eastern Zhou Dynasty;

It is the right way to seal the marquis first and worship the prime minister later.

Fusu looked at the backs of them leaving, and looked at Tian Wei who was still standing in the palace: "It's hard to come to the palace once, go and see your sister!"

Tian Wei clasped his fists and said with a smile: "I really have this intention. A few days ago, on my sister's birthday, I supervised the casting of money in Shanglin Garden, and I didn't come back to attend the family banquet. So I came to the palace today and specially brought some of my sister's favorite things to make up for it. He Yi."

What your sister likes is me... Fusu teased in his heart, indicating that he can leave.

Seeing this, Tian Wei bent down to salute, took a few steps back, and immediately went to Yuhua Palace under the guidance of several servants.

After returning to the case, Fusu began to review today's memorial, but when the bamboo slips were unfolded, he began to be a little curious, what exactly was Tian Ji's favorite thing that Tian Wei said?
Well, I'll find out when I go over to join in the fun... Fusu picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and couldn't help thinking of the birthday gift he gave Tian Ji, but the process of receiving the gift was a bit more complicated, and sometimes he lay on his side, Sometimes prone, sometimes on all fours, sometimes on all fours...

……

Although the snow in Xianyang has stopped, there is still heavy snow outside Hangu Pass at this time, and the trees in the mountains are covered with snow balls, like Qiongzhi jade leaves.

A convoy of hundreds of carriages is lining up to trek through the snow.

These were selected from the counties and counties to the east of Xiaoshan Mountain according to the order of Fusu. They were named as highly respected, but in fact, most of them were local powerful people. They went to Yongcheng to participate in the La Sacrifice military parade.

According to the plan, they will take the government's carriage, first meet in Xingyang County, Sanchuan County, and then go to Yongcheng.

The purpose of this is to show off the power of the imperial court to them, to deter them from the 'remnants of the six kingdoms'...

But whether Fu Su can deter people like Chen Yu and Zhang Er is unknown, but he didn't intend to win over these diehards who were determined to oppose Qin.

From the very beginning, his target was the ordinary noble families, such as the Qu, Jing and Zhao families in Chu who frequently winked at him.

Combined with Fusu's analysis of the characters of Xiao He, Chen Ying, etc., people in this period, like those in later generations, are well versed in the creed of not being the first bird.

For example, Xiao He took everyone to defect to Liu Tingchang, who was in exile in Mang and Dang; Chen Ying took his hometown people to defect to the Overlord of Chu.

Another reason for this phenomenon is that the taxi culture lasted for hundreds of years during the Warring States Period.

At this time, people do not advocate the loyalty to the monarch of the later generations of Confucianism. Everyone is free to work as a worker. Whoever pays a high salary will work with him!
For example, the prime ministers of Qin State mostly came from Wei State in the early stage, and mostly from Chu State in the later stage.

When they packed up their home country, they were usually thieves, so when Lord Changping rebelled, Shi Huang couldn't even eat the angry rice, and only ate three big bowls for each meal!

Therefore, after the Qin Dynasty merged with the Six Kingdoms, there were countless people advocating the enfeoffment system. The main reason was that after the prefecture and county system, there were fewer feudal monarchs, and there were fewer opportunities for scholars to come to eat and drink for free...

So Fusu decided that after the Yongcheng military parade showed his muscles, he would fight a set of combo punches against these scholars who had nowhere to serve the country!

In the wind and snow, the convoy slowly approached Hangu Pass. A [-] master with his legs bound and wearing a red bowl head who had been waiting in front of the pass gave an order, and a thousand generals of Qin soldiers with their helmets and armor smashed The convoy stopped and checked the inspections and biography of everyone in the convoy in turn.

A military officer in black sackcloth with a red nose from the cold yelled loudly: "If you need to go to the toilet, come with me. The Qin law has new regulations. Those who defecate indiscriminately can be whipped twenty times and fined one shield!"

Hula la.

Many tyrants rushing to the side of the road were stunned, quickly pulled up their belts, and followed the military officials to the toilet in the distance.

A middle-aged man in his forties with a black face and long beard looked familiar at the back of a man wearing a green skirt, and immediately stepped forward to take a closer look.

Although the man hung his phoenix eyes into triangular eyes, and his face was full of beards, his face was as black as carbon, but he still recognized him at a glance, and immediately lowered his voice with some surprise: "Zhang Zi?"

He was just about to bow his hands in salute, but found that the bamboo chip he was holding in his hand was a bit indecent, so he hurriedly stuffed the bamboo chip into his waist, and bowed his hands again.

Zhang Liang frowned, thinking that I am dressed like this, you can still recognize me?

He looked at the person who came, and he didn't know how to address him.

After all, he is the same as himself, and the reward amount is as high as a thousand gold... No, I am a little higher than him, worth 1000 and two hundred gold.

Perhaps seeing Zhang Liang's doubts, the man reported his family name and said, "You don't remember me? I'm from Chen County, Wei Meng!"

"Oh...it's Brother Wei!" Zhang Liang bowed his hands, but said in his heart:

No, you are Zhang Er, from Daliang.

Huh?Why is he called this name, oh, by the way, people say that Zhang Er is like Lord Xinling reborn, so he took Wei as his surname.

Zhang Liang straightened up and looked around, he was looking for traces of Chen Yu.

Zhang Er said with a smile: "Don't look for Zhang Zi, my younger brother is afraid of the cold and stays in the carriage!"

While the two were chatting and laughing, they walked to Hangu Pass, but they were suddenly stunned.

Zhang Liang clearly remembered that when he left Hangu Pass a few months ago, the pass city was built with rammed earth and embedded with stone slabs, it was no more than two feet high!

Although it is connected to Hengling Mountains in the west, Juejian in the east, Qinling Mountains in the south, and the Yellow River in the north, it is difficult for birds to cross and monkeys are afraid to climb Xiongguan.

But in Zhang Liang's view, as long as he is given a team of elite soldiers, he can be defeated in ten months!

But now?

The entire Hangu Pass looks dusty. Although the outer walls are rough, they are integrated and smooth!

The most hateful thing is that the entire closed wall has almost doubled in height!
The gate of the city is sunken inwards, and a crossbow covered with tarpaulin can be vaguely seen on both sides... It seems that the gate of the inner urn city is no longer in the same direction as the gate, but has turned a corner!

Not a human being!
