my grandfather was qin shi huang

Chapter 348 Good news, good news again!
According to the wishes of the First Emperor, he originally wanted to give him a car to travel, but Zhao Ying refused without hesitation.

The First Emperor couldn't resist him and didn't insist anymore.

On the balcony of Zhangtai Palace, the First Emperor stood with his hands behind his hands. He looked at Zhao Ying's retreating team with a dazed look in his eyes. He still remembered the childish boy who forced his way into the palace to see him. Scenes.

In just a blink of an eye, he has grown to this point.

He was actually able to stand in front of him and face the turbulent winds and treacherous plots for himself.

It wasn't until Zhao Ying's motorcade completely disappeared at the end of the street that he turned to look at Hei and suddenly said something inexplicable.

"I still feel that this time, it is my elder father who should go and clear everything for him, instead of letting him stand in front of me..."

Hei knew what the First Emperor was thinking and comforted him.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Your Majesty, His Majesty Changsun, is wise, wise, and calm by nature. He has the same demeanor as your Majesty. He will definitely be able to successfully handle the important tasks assigned by your Majesty, wipe out the remaining evils of various countries, and stabilize the situation in Jiangnan..."

Having said this, he smiled relaxedly.

"Your Majesty, I have a hunch that His Majesty, the Emperor's Grandson, may bring some unexpected surprises to His Majesty in addition to wiping out the remaining evil..."

The First Emperor stared at Hei for a long time, then suddenly pointed at him and laughed and cursed.

"You old thing, the older you get, the more you go back. Now you learn to show off your lips and say some nice words to make me happy..."

After saying that, the First Emperor suddenly turned around and walked back.

"Let's go, go back and see if the three young people this kid selected for me are worthy of use. If so, we will polish them a little bit. By then, Ying'er will have a few more available talents..."

……

Zhao Ying naturally didn't know the stories behind these.

At this time, he was sitting cross-legged in the carriage, carefully looking at the extremely detailed map of Da Qin in his hand.According to his request, Jiangshan Sheji Bureau sent a large number of professional personnel to conduct on-site exploration for several months before mapping.

Although it cannot keep up with the satellite maps of later generations, its level of accuracy and detail is extremely close to the real landscape.

At least, Zhang Liang was quite shocked when he first saw the map that Zhao Ying brought back from Jiangshan State Administration. As a result, after getting Zhao Ying's permission, Zhang Liang spent most of the night looking at the map.

I have been studying it like crazy these days.

Now, he was kneeling and sitting opposite Zhao Ying in a formal manner, introducing the general situation of various places along the way.

"Your Highness, when I planned the route in accordance with His Highness's instructions, I followed the principle of reducing disturbance to the people and tried to avoid passing through large towns. Apart from necessary supplies along the way, I tried not to stop at any time..."

Zhao Ying nodded slightly while listening.

Although Zhao Ying had tried to streamline his personnel when he went out this time, there were still 4000 to [-] officials at all levels, entourage, and the accompanying [-] imperial guards, both inside and outside.

With so many people, not to mention anything else, food and accommodation alone are a heavy burden on the place.After all, it was impossible for him to bring that much food and grass with him.

Therefore, when he went out this time, he did not plan to rectify the official administration, summon village elders, appease the people, and observe the people's sentiments wherever he went, as the First Emperor did when he went on tour. Instead, he prepared to march urgently.

Try to reduce the burden on people along the way.

If it were another dynasty, it would really not be an easy task to go from Xianyang to Changsha and other places. If you don’t want to cross the [-]-mile Qinchuan River, then you have to go east from Xiaoshan, bypass Hangu Pass, and then Only then can we go all the way south.

It won’t take more than a few months, don’t even think about it.

But, this is Da Qin!

The Qin Dynasty had an extremely developed transportation network.

Zhao Ying and his party can set off directly from Xianyang, pass through Wuguan, arrive at Nanyang County, and then pass through Nanyang and directly arrive at Nanjun.Then from Nanjun, take a boat, pass through Yunmengze and Dongting Lake, and arrive in Changsha.

The First Emperor used great courage to directly open up the transportation hubs of all counties except the three counties in Lingnan.Zhao Ying estimated that if the terrain in Lingnan was not too steep, the amount of work was too large, and the First Emperor had too many places to take care of, the Chidao on the Lingnan side would also have to be arranged.

However, even so, it was enough to crush all the major dynasties in later generations.

Since this was a special year, Zhao Ying was concerned about the situation on the First Emperor's side and had no intention of staying longer on the ground to observe the local people's sentiments. Therefore, after leaving Xianyang, he borrowed the Chidao and headed straight for Nanyang.

……

Zhao Ying's tour was sudden and exceeded many people's expectations.

After making the decision on the first day, he said goodbye to the First Emperor the next day and set off directly. Before that, even some officials in Xianyang failed to get the news.

By the time they learned the news and wanted to rush over to see them off, the emperor's grandson Zhao Ying's team had already left Xianyang.

Countless people looked at him sideways.

This trip was even faster than the last trip to the Northern Expedition.

After all, last time, in order to train his soldiers and practice riding and shooting, he did not borrow Da Qin's gallop, but this time, it was different. What he wanted was speed.

Therefore, after leaving Xianyang, the rush mode started.

Day and night.

Departing from Xianyang in the morning, we arrived outside Nanyang County on the evening of the third day.When Zhao Ying's team appeared, officials at all levels in Nanyang County were frightened to death.

I don't know where such an army suddenly appeared.

The governor Qu Fu, who had already changed into casual clothes and returned to his mansion to enjoy the gentle countryside, rushed to the top of Nanyang City without even having time to put on his robe.

Looking at the closed city gate, Nanyang City was on high alert, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Zhao Ying couldn't help but laugh and cry.

However, in my heart, I was filled with admiration for the combat effectiveness of the Qin army.This is a truly strong army that has fought through hundreds of battles. Even if the world has been at peace for many years, the appearance of a strong army in the past can still be seen.

He couldn't even understand how the Qin Dynasty, with such an army and foundation, fell apart and collapsed in such a short period of time.

In order to avoid Nanyang County being too nervous and causing unnecessary conflicts.

Zhao Ying's team stopped a few miles away, found a leeward hill not far from the Baihe River, stopped their carriages, and set up camp.

At the same time, he sent his officials to inform the Nanyang County Governor with their official documents.

The Nanyang County Sheriff couldn't believe it at first, until the officials under Zhao Ying put Zhao Ying's official documents into a basket that Qu Fu had someone put down from the city wall and hung it up.After he checked it several times and it was correct, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, even so, he did not dare to open the city gate blindly. Instead, he left the county Wei Wen to guard the city in person, while he put on his official robes, took several officials from the county, and went out of the city to pay his respects in person.

"I didn't know that His Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson was coming, but I missed you from afar. Please forgive me for your sins——"

When Qu saw the [-] imperial guards outside the city again, he had already completely confirmed Zhao Ying's identity, so after entering the camp, he quickly walked a few steps and stepped forward to salute.

Zhao Ying came up to him with a smile and held Qu Fu's arm with his own hand.

"There is no need for you to be polite, Governor Qu. I came here in a hurry. I didn't inform you. I was originally afraid of disturbing the place, but I didn't expect that I would disturb you instead. Speaking of which, I didn't think carefully..." Qu Fulian said he didn't dare.

The two exchanged a few polite words and sat down respectively. Qu Fu then began to insinuate Zhao Ying's purpose of coming to Nanyang this time.

Knowing that Zhao Ying was just passing through here and wanted to replenish food and grass, he breathed a sigh of relief, and even his attitude became much cordial and cordial, and he immediately invited Zhao Ying and others to enter the city.

"Your Highness, it is cold and dewy outside the city. Please come into the city to rest, so that I can prepare some wine and entertain you..."

Zhao Ying smiled and waved his hands.

"You're welcome, Governor Qu. I didn't inform your officials in advance because I was afraid of disturbing the place and causing unnecessary burdens to the people here. I will leave tomorrow and won't go into the city, but I need to rest here for a day. , I also need to replenish some food and grass here, and I would like to ask Governor Qu to make it convenient..."

After saying that, he signaled Zhang Liang to hand Qu Fu the supply list he had prepared long ago.

Qu glanced at it again and saw that the list really only contained some supplies of food and grass, not even some drinks, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.

Seeing that Zhao Ying really had no intention of entering the city, he was polite for a while and stood up to leave.

Out of Zhao Ying's camp.

Qu couldn't help but look back and looked at the accompanying officials with genuine emotion.

"In the past, I only heard that the eldest son of the emperor was kind, gentle, and caring for the people. I thought it was an exaggeration. But when I see it today, I know that what he said is true..."

Several officials accompanying him also expressed their praise.

"The emperor's eldest grandson swept through Mobei and pacified Hexi. We thought that the emperor's eldest grandson would be such a brave and tough person. Unexpectedly, the emperor's eldest grandson was actually approachable and treated people like a spring breeze. He had no intention of looking down on us and other minor officials..."

"..."

When the group of people returned to the city and found out that it was indeed the emperor's eldest grandson who was driving through this place, the city completely dropped their guard.The county guard, Qu Fu, took the county officials to prepare food and grass in person. After hearing this, the county captain excitedly walked down the city and went straight to Zhao Ying's camp.

As a military attache, I have long admired the emperor's eldest grandson, who swept through Mobei, defeated four kingdoms in one day, and secured Hexi with three arrows. He wished he could meet him in person. Now that he had been given this opportunity, how could he not miss it.

When he learned that his county lieutenant was going to visit His Highness the Emperor Changsun, all his subordinates were more excited than he was and followed him one by one.

Nanyang City's past peace was broken because of Zhao Ying's sudden arrival.

While the officials in the city were all buzzing around the arrival of Zhao Ying and his entourage, some people were frightened and frightened by the arrival of Zhao Ying...

……

On the day Zhao Ying arrived in Nanyang.

Liu Ji's good news finally arrived!
"Good news, good news, great victory in the Western Regions! General Liu Ji led five thousand elite troops to defeat Wusun and annihilated Wusun's [-]-strong army. Wusun was defeated and fled for hundreds of miles. Among the countries in the Western Regions, five of them surrendered after hearing the news——"

"Good news, good news, great victory in the Western Regions! General Liu Ji led five thousand elite troops to defeat Wusun and annihilated Wusun's [-]-strong army. Wusun was defeated and fled for hundreds of miles. Among the countries in the Western Regions, five of them surrendered after hearing the news——"

At dusk, the fast horse reporting victory once again shocked the whole of Xianyang.

Good news, good news, good news again!

The streets of Xianyang, which had already begun to see fewer pedestrians, became agitated again because of this news.Some people who didn't know Liu Ji couldn't help but start to inquire about who Liu Ji was.

After asking around, I found out that Liu Ji was just a pawn under the emperor's eldest grandson!

He was promoted to the countryside by the emperor's eldest grandson.

Later, with the emperor's eldest grandson, he went to Mobei and pacified Hexi. He was awarded the title of Zuoli of Dunhuang County due to his meritorious service.Years ago, he invited himself to the Western Regions, and then he suddenly rose to prominence.

"His Royal Highness the Emperor Changsun is really full of talents. Just now, General Han Xin was granted the title of Marquis on official duties. Here Liu Ji has repeatedly made great achievements in the Western Regions. This time, I am afraid that he is not far away from being granted the title of Marquis!"

As soon as someone here sighed, someone over there laughed.

"Thousand-mile horses are always available, but Bole is not often used. Liu Jin can be where he is today, all thanks to the emperor's eldest grandson, who has a sharp eye and knows pearls. Otherwise, he is just a mere pavilion chief in Surabaya. I am afraid that he will not have the glory he has today..."

"..."

When he got the news, Lu Pheasant had already started preparing to treat his sister to dinner.

As a result, he saw the servant in his house rushing in like a storm.

"Mistress, mistress, I'm so happy. I defeated fifty thousand Wusun in the Western Region, shocked the Western Region, and gathered five small countries in the Western Region..."

When Lu Pheasant heard this, he was stunned for a long time.

She didn't come back to her senses until Lu Yu, who heard the news, rushed in furiously, holding her arms and jumping excitedly.

"Is this true? He, did he really defeat Wusun's [-]-strong army?"

The boy nodded with great certainty.

"Mother of Qi, this matter is absolutely true. Now, it has been spread outside. I am afraid that the reward from the palace will arrive soon..."

Lu Pheasant just woke up from a dream.

She didn't expect that her husband, who was frivolous and liked to talk too much, would actually achieve such amazing achievements.

……

"Your Majesty, General Liu Ji, attacked the Wusun camp at night, defeated the large number with a small number, and annihilated tens of thousands of Wusun elites. The Wusun people fled upon hearing the news and have already fled to the north of Tianchi..."

The First Emperor did not expect that Liu Ji suddenly made such a big noise in the Western Regions.

Because he knew better than anyone else that with Liu Ji's miscellaneous and organized troops, there was no way he could be a match for the Wusun people.

Being able to withstand the pressure from the Wusun people and maintain the current situation unchanged is already considered Liu Ji's outstanding ability.

Unexpectedly, he would bring such a big surprise to himself.

Seeing the captain who reported victory in high spirits despite looking exhausted, the First Emperor couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

"Submit—"

The First Emperor was in a good mood and immediately asked someone to take the victory.He really wanted to know why Liu Ji destroyed Wusun's [-] elite army.

Could it be another Han Xin?
After reading the good news sent by Liu Ji, the First Emperor could not help but be stunned.

Although Liu Ji's victory report focused on how he showed weakness to the enemy and lured them deeper, and then how he planned a strategy to annihilate Wusun, and how he overpowered the countries in the Western Regions without spending a single soldier, and then attacked five times. This glorious achievement of the country.

But the First Emperor still understood the key at a glance.

gunpowder!

Can gunpowder be used like this?
