my grandfather was qin shi huang

Chapter 367 Conquering the Seven Kingdoms in a row, Liu Bang’s ambition
Kucha, Kuqa City.

King Jiangyan of Qiuci frowned and looked at Xiangguo Baixi who was standing next to him.

"Are you saying that the Qin people have never changed the government affairs of Lou Lan, Che Shi and Yan Qi. Apart from canceling their royal titles and planting the Qin people's flag, they basically haven't made any major changes?"

Bai Xi nodded.

"Liu Ji, the general of Zhenyuan, was greedy for money and lustful. He spent his days calling friends, drinking and having fun. Apart from that, he almost didn't ask about any specific affairs of Loulan, Cheshi and Yanqi. Because of this, these three small countries The situation is stable. Not only has it not been affected in any way, but because it has attached itself to Great Qin and received support from Great Qin, it has developed rapidly..."

Bai Xi knew that his king was worried about this, but as the prime minister of Qiuci, he had to say some things.He paused for a moment before continuing.

"These three countries not only have a large amount of trade with Da Qin every day, but also exchanged a large amount of exquisite and silky silks, exquisite porcelain, and refined salt as fine as the snow in the Tianshan Mountains from Da Qin. Good tea bricks, and the Qin people also sent people to help them build water conservancy projects, provide grain seeds, and guide local herdsmen in farming. Because of this, many people have come to their side, especially near Bosten Lake, where the population has increased greatly..."

After secretly observing his prince's expression, Bai Xi secretly swallowed and said in a harsh voice.

"Your Majesty, it can be expected that with the support of the Qin people, the strength of Loulan, Cheshi and Yanqi will grow rapidly. At that time, powerful neighbors will be on the side, plus Wulei, Quli, and the people along the Aksu River. Weitou, Wensu, Gumo and other countries are now threatening the Qin army, and their attitude is ambiguous. If there is an emergency..."

Having said this, Bai Xi wisely closed his mouth.

As the prime minister, he could help the king analyze the pros and cons and point out problems, but again, he went beyond his duties as prime minister.

In the king's tent, King Jiangyan of Qiuci remained silent.

Although he had expected that such a day would come sooner or later, he did not expect that this day would come so quickly. In less than half a year, Liu, who was greedy for money and lustful, and was always looking for fun and sensuality every day. Ji, it has developed to this point quietly.

In just one battle, the powerful Wusun was defeated and retreated far away.

In the past, those small countries that had surrendered to themselves and needed to look up to Qiuci changed their attitudes and began to have frequent contact with the Qin people.

Although Bai Xi didn't say it clearly just now, he knew very well what situation Qiuci would face next.

Once the countries such as Weitou, Wensu and Gumo along the Aksu River completely fell to the Qin Dynasty, Qiuci would become a roadblock between the Qin Dynasty and the countries such as Weitou, Wensu and Gumo.

As long as the people of Qin still have thoughts about the Western Regions, they will never tolerate their own existence.

"How to do?"

King Jiangyan of Qiuci felt heavy-hearted. After Baixi left, he remained silent for a long time before he summoned the second prince he valued most.

"My son, I pay my respects to my father..."

Seeing her most valued son standing in front of her with a respectful expression, Jiang Yan couldn't help but soften a bit.

"How's the investigation going for you..."

"Father, we have found out clearly that seventeen tribes, including Yanxi, Rongzhi and Qiuban, have all been in contact with the Qin people, either explicitly or covertly..."

"This group of thieves are ruthless, how have I ever treated them badly?"

Although he had expected it, when he actually heard the news about himself, Jiang Yan couldn't help but cursed, but after cursing for a while, he stopped boringly.

These tribes were originally feeding unfamiliar white-eyed wolves.

His relationship with these tribes, especially the three major tribes of Yanxi, Rongzhi and Qiubun, was originally relatively loose.

When Qiuci was powerful, they were like dogs, crawling over and obeying Qiuci's orders. Now that the Qin people are powerful, they are begging for mercy like the Qin people. This was originally expected.He knew that now even his Prime Minister Bai might have been secretly communicating with the Qin people.

After he finished cursing, he was silent for a long time before looking at his second son who had been standing quietly aside.

"Jiangyan, what do you think we should do now..."

Looking at Jiang Yan, whose temples were beginning to turn gray, Jiang Yan felt for the first time that his father, who had dominated the Western Regions in the past and always spoke for himself, was getting old.

He raised his head and looked at his father with sharp eyes.

"Father, the Qin people are so powerful that even Wusun has to retreat. I'm afraid we won't be able to stop them. Instead of surrendering to others, we should abandon this place and move the whole country."

Having said this, Jiang Juan strode to the map hanging in the king's tent and said in a deep voice.

"Father, from now on, go west, follow the Gashgar River, and cross the Alai Mountains to reach Dayuan! The country of Dayuan produces good horses and is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If we can capture it, we can become If we cannot capture the foundation of our country in Qiuci, we can also take advantage of the situation and move westward..."

After Jiang Yan finished speaking, he suddenly turned around and looked at Jiang Yan, who was already full of flesh and filled with twilight energy. A trace of perseverance flashed in his eyes.

"I heard from businessmen from the west that there are large tracts of fertile land to the west of Dawan, which is enough for us Kucha people to recuperate and even open up a larger territory..."

Looking at his ambitious second son, King Jiangyan of Kucha couldn't help but have a look of hesitation in his eyes.

After years of being pampered and pampered, he has long lost the vigor he had when he was young.

He is already old, and he no longer has the ambition to abandon his family and business, travel across mountains and rivers, and attack cities and forts to expand territory. Even if he had that ambition, he no longer has the ability.

He is already like an old eagle, a toothless wolf king, who may die on the migration road at any time.Then, he was abandoned on the road like a wild dog.

"let me think again……"

Jiangyan suddenly felt a little afraid to face the eyes of his second son.

"The situation is critical now. I'm worried that the Qin people won't give us too many opportunities to hesitate. I ask my father to make a decision as soon as possible..."

Jiangya saw the hesitation in his father's eyes, sighed silently in his heart, and turned around.

……

Three days later, King Jiangyan of Qiuci sent Prime Minister Baixi to visit the Qin Dynasty's special envoy Zhenxi General Liu Ji.

After getting Liu Ji's clear answer, as long as he surrendered to the Qin Dynasty, except for the household registration and the people's control, and the military strength must obey the Qin Dynasty's dispatch, everything in Qiuci was as before, and even the King of Qiuci could continue to govern Qiuci. Jiang Yan finally made up his mind to submit his credentials to Da Qin and formally requested surrender!
It is worth mentioning that on the night when King Kucha made this decision, the second prince of Kucha left Kuqa City overnight with his [-] elite soldiers.

After receiving the news, King Qiuci felt complicated. He was silent for a long time before he waved his hand feebly.

"Let him go..."

……

When it was learned that Qiuci, the former desert overlord, had completely surrendered to the Qin Dynasty, the surrounding small countries, including Wulei, Quli, and Weitou, Wensu and Gumo further west, also submitted their credentials to the Qin Dynasty, requesting the removal of the king. No., surrendered to Da Qin.

At this point, General Zhenyuan of the Great Qin Dynasty and Liu Ji, the special envoy to the Western Regions, effortlessly unified the northern part of the Western Regions, and their forces radiated directly to the foot of the Alai Mountains and reached Shule.

Further west, you will see the majestic mountains, and over the Alai Mountains, you will find Dayuan, which is famous for its fine horses!
Yuanqu City.

Liu Ji stroked his rather proud beard, looking excited and high-spirited. "That kid Jiangyan knows what's interesting - report victory, report victory, maybe we will come out on top this time..."

"Brother, tell me, will we be like Han Xin and become a marquis..."

Lu Wan couldn't hold back her excitement. She stepped on the stool, picked up the wine bowl in front of her, and drank it all in one gulp.

"When I go back this time, I must take a good look at the face of the county magistrate!"

Speaking of this, this guy suddenly came up to Liu Ji.

"Brother, tell me, if I propose to Mr. Lu, can I be my brother-in-law..."

Hearing this, Liu Ji looked up and down at his old brother with squinting eyes.

"Brother, one must have some self-awareness..."

Lu Wan became anxious upon hearing this.

"Brother, what you said is wrong. No matter what I say now, I am still better than you were back then. What else did you have besides a lot of debt? When I go back this time, I have to be a serious person. General Dangdang, aren’t you worthy of being the son-in-law of his Lu family?”

Liu Ji glanced at him, picked up the wine bowl in front of him, took a big sip, and then cursed with a smile.

"What do I have? I'm better looking than you!"

Lu Wan: ...

"It's no big deal that other girls are good-looking! I can marry a lot of beautiful girls!"

Lu Wan cursed and stuffed a large piece of mutton into her mouth.Then he clinked the wine bowl with Liu Ji and drank it all in one gulp.

"I'm going to find some young ladies from Qiuci..."

This guy, after saying that, walked out angrily.

Liu Ji couldn't help but laugh, and he casually took the beauty that King Qiuci had just presented to him, and held her across his lap.Not to mention, although these little ladies from Qiuci look strange at first glance, after looking at them for a long time, they actually look pretty good.

Especially with her hot body and skin as white as goat's milk, she has a unique taste.

The documents reporting victory have been sent out.

While he was enjoying the service of his maid, he was thinking about it. In the past, His Highness the Emperor's Grandson destroyed four kingdoms in one day. Isn't that about the same for him?
How about destroying those small countries in the south as well?
The more he thought about it, the more he thought it could be done. He immediately pushed the woman out of his arms, lifted up his pants, walked to the map hanging nearby, and thoughtfully drew small circles on it.

Although Lu Wan was dismissive when he said he wanted to make a Marquis, he was actually a little tempted.

That's a title!

But he also knew that it was so easy to become a marquis?

Xiang Yu swept across the grassland and only achieved the position of general.Of course, a local county lieutenant is already a big shot.

As for Han Xin, it was just good luck. When he followed the emperor's grandson, he attacked a city and destroyed a country. Then he followed his highness the emperor's grandson to conquer Hexi. He made many military exploits and became his highness the emperor's grandson's No. 1. [-].

Later, he raided the east of Hedong to eliminate the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, captured Donghu, and captured the king of Donghu alive.

Inside, with the strong support of Right Minister Feng Quji and His Royal Highness the Emperor Changsun, he was granted the title of Marquis and became the youngest marquis in the Qin Dynasty.

If he wants to be granted the title of Marquis, his current achievements alone are definitely not enough.

However, if the Western Regions can be completely pacified and brought under the rule of the imperial court, then it is really possible to touch the edge of the feudal princes!
"General..."

The Qiuci maid who was knocked to the ground came up to her with some grievance. Liu Ji suddenly felt that these women were not good-looking either.

"Go, go, I'm busy with business, don't delay my promotion and fortune..."

maid:……

……

"What, General Liu Ji pacified the countries in the Western Regions without spending a single soldier?"

When the news reached Dunhuang, Zhang Han couldn't help but open his mouth.Chen Ping couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

After receiving the transfer order from the court, he had just completed the handover with Xiao He and properly handled the affairs of Hexi County, and then hurried to Dunhuang to join Zhang Han.

Prepare to assemble the army and prepare for war, enter the Western Regions, assist Liu Ji in clearing Wusun, completely pacify the Western Regions, and once again open up territory for the Qin Dynasty.

As a result, Liu Ji used a big move for himself. Not even a few days after the news of Wusun's defeat, he took down the seven countries in the Western Region, including Qiuci!
This is a little embarrassing.

If he and Zhang Han went there at this time, wouldn't they be stealing Liu Ji's credit?
Zhang Han and Chen Ping looked at each other.

"Sure enough, my lord is very discerning. To be honest, when my lord recruited General Liu Ji and General Lu Wan, I really didn't notice their strengths..."

Zhang Han couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"I didn't know that General Liu Ji was so clever. I just felt that I had a good rapport with him, so I invited him to Dunhuang to help me. I never thought that he would shine as soon as he entered the Western Regions. If he can do it this time Seize the opportunity to pursue the victory and defeat all the countries in the Western Region in one fell swoop..."

Having said this, he couldn't help but walk to the map in his study and looked up at the map of the Western Regions that he had studied countless times.

"This is a great contribution to expanding thousands of miles of territory for the imperial court. With this, General Liu Ji may have a chance of becoming a prince..."

Chen Ping couldn't help but feel envious.

But he asked himself, even if he went to the Western Regions, he probably wouldn't be able to do it as easily as Liu Ji.

"This Liu Ji is as wise as he is foolish, it's amazing..."

Of course, he certainly didn't know that General Liu Ji, whom he admired so much and praised as a wise and foolish man, only hesitated in front of the map for a while before succumbing to the beauty and hugging his newly acquired Qiuci beauty. , go and be happy.

..............................

When they received the news that Liu Ji had conquered the seven kingdoms of the Western Regions without spending a single soldier, expanded thousands of miles of territory for the Qin Dynasty, and had successfully arrived in Shule, Zhao Ying and his party had already crossed Yunmeng Daze and arrived in Changsha County. territory.

At this time, it was November 37, the 27th year of the First Emperor of Qin.
