Chapter 193 Expedition
North of Jucho.

Ren Xiao's [-]-strong army never encountered a decent enemy again.

Along the way, we climbed over mountains and ridges, cut through mountains and forests, and finally opened up the connection with Wuchi Road.

The Five-foot Road was ordered by the First Emperor to run from Xianyang directly to the mountains in the southwest.

The mountain roads there are extremely dangerous, and it is also known as "the seven winding snakes, connecting Qi to the sky".

But it was this road that ensured the uninterrupted connection between the Central Plains and the mountains in the southwest for thousands of years to come.

Ren Xiao stood on Wuchi Road and turned around to look.

The prototype of a one-foot (2.31 meter) wide trail has been cleared by the soldiers.

As long as there are more official slaves to expand in the future, the roadbed will be laid for another wide galloping road connecting the southeast.

Before coming, the young master had already ordered the construction of a Chi Road from Changsha County all the way south, connecting Yangshanguan to Panyu.

By then the entire South will be connected by these thick blood vessels.

Ren Xiao sighed, both His Majesty and the eldest son value the road very much.

At this time, a soldier in front suddenly reported.

"The Yelang Kingdom on the east side of Wuchi Road has sent envoys to contact you and want to see you!"

Ren Xiao frowned.

He does know this small country.

As early as when the Wuchi Road was being built, they had wanted to contact Da Qin many times.

However, because they were among the mountains and posed no threat to Da Qin, no one had cared about them.

At this moment, to fulfill the Young Master’s order, it’s really time to meet them!
Just when Ren Xiao was about to meet the Lord Yelang.

Thousands of miles south of this place, a land of camels.

Xiang Yu led an army of [-] people forward.

We are almost approaching the most important city in Tuoyue, near Linchen.

The army was very depressed at the moment.

Along the way, dozens of tribes were passed over and all fell.

Houses were destroyed, livestock were killed, and few survivors were found.

Xiang Yu's army is currently stationed next to Ronglan Lake. There is plenty of water but less and less food.

If it weren't for the large number of animals along the way and the soldiers constantly hunting to replenish their supplies, they would have run out of food rations.

Xiang Yu frowned, always feeling a little bad.

This Jing clan's sneak attack on Tuoyue was less like targeting Tuoyue and more like targeting Da Qin.

They don't let any small tribe go. As long as there are people, they will come to kill them all.

Everything that cannot be taken away is burned.

It's more like uprooting all the places where supplies can be obtained.

This was intended to eliminate Da Qin's intention to continue its conquest to the south.

Fortunately, Xiang Yu only brought 4 people.

If hundreds of thousands of troops come, they may run out of food and grass before they get here, and they will be unable to take a step forward.

"General! We have rested!"

"How about we be the vanguard and take the lead?"

Xiang Yu looked at the leader of the Tuoyue Kingdom who kept urging the army to move forward, and knew that he was anxious in his heart.

But at this moment, it was less than a hundred miles away from the capital Linchen.

If the Jing tribe has conquered the entire Tuoyue, then there must be Jing tribe members stationed in Linchen.

At this distance, the two parties may encounter each other at any time.

This station was the last rest before the war.

Xiang Yu also didn't know the military strength of the Jing people.

He must take every step carefully.

Only in this way can we live up to the young master's entrustment and completely dedicate Xiang County to the young master.

"Don't be anxious. Once the army sets off at noon, you can know the situation in Linchen by walking around this low mountain."

Seeing that Xiang Yu disagreed, the leader of the Tuoyue Kingdom could only helplessly worry.

Although he knew that Xiang Yu's decision was the right one.

If we rush there desperately now, we will probably arrive as a tired army with not much fighting power left.

The other party has been waiting for a long time, and may even be ambushed.

But he still couldn't help but be anxious.

……

At this moment, he was in Linchen City, a hundred miles away from Xiang Yu to the west.

At the head of the hall, sat a man wearing a black and blue shirt. His eyes glanced at the nearly a hundred hunchbacked women in front of him.

One by one, these women came up to him and let him choose.

Every time the man's finger moved, someone would take the chosen one into the back room, wash him and wait for his favor.

After selecting two or three in succession, suddenly a woman who was obviously more outstanding in both figure and appearance was pushed forward.

The man's eyes were instantly attracted to it.

The woman knew something was wrong and shouted hurriedly.

"I am the concubine of the Tuoyue Kingdom!"

"You'd better let me go, otherwise when the king comes back, he will make you pay a hundred times the price!"

Who would have thought that it would be okay if he didn't say it, but the more he said it, the more excited the man became.

Without any regard for the people present, he picked him up and rushed into the room behind him with an evil smile on his face.

Within a few breaths, the sounds of struggling cries and screams came out.

Just as the voice gradually became louder, a loud report came from outside the hall.

"Report! The Qin army has reached a hundred miles to the west. Along the way, there are about 5 to [-] people stationed there!"

Also coming in with the scout was a thin, dark man with a bulging forehead and sunken eyes.

He walked quickly outside the inner room, frowning and listening to the unpleasant sounds inside.

After a pause, he still spoke out.

"Little Lord"

"All the food in Linchen City has been transported away."

"Now as long as the city is burned down with a fire, nothing will be left when the Qin army arrives!"

But his words did not make the people inside restrain themselves at all.

The voices of resistance from the women in the room became even louder.

The thin black man frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then raised his voice again.

"Young Master, the Qin army is already close to a hundred miles away and may approach at any time."

"We can leave now without being overtaken by the Qin army. If it's too late, I'm afraid there will be a fight!"

"I'm just trying to save my life. I'm afraid I'll hurt your precious body."

After the words fell, Li's voice paused.

The door creaked open.

A disheveled man came out.

His eyes were filled with anger, and he turned sideways to look at the thin black man who interrupted him.

"Snapped!"

He slapped him fiercely.

"How many times have I told you to call me general outside?"

The thin black man was slightly shocked, then lowered his head.

He covered his face and said "yes" quickly.

Such an obedient scene made the young master's lips curl up.

"Zhiliang, it seems that you have adapted to your current status."

"Why, have you forgotten the glory of your Zhi family?"

The thin, dark man named Zhiliang said without hesitation this time.

"It's the Jing clan who took us in!"

"I, the Zhi clan, will never forget it and swear allegiance to the Jing clan to the death!"

Such words made the young master laugh happily.

Zhiliang also raised his head and wanted to laugh with him.

But the next moment, the young master's face suddenly turned cold.

He gently patted Zhiliang's face with one hand and said.

"It's good to know. Remember that you are now a dog of my Jing clan!"

"A dog is not allowed to interrupt his master."

Then he narrowed his eyes again.

"A dog that often causes trouble will only be cooked into delicious pieces of meat!"

"I don't want to know what you taste like next time."

After finishing speaking, Zhiliang shivered violently and hurriedly knelt down.

Such a scene made the young master grin with pride.

Then, he looked coldly outside the hall.

"Let's go! I want to see what the Qin people who are so afraid of you are like!"

The young master raised his legs and walked towards the door.

Zhiliang's frightened face now flashed an intriguing smile.

……

Xiang Yu ordered the army to set off again.

Just now, the scouts had captured several spies from the Jing clan.

The other party already knows the situation of his army.

Such a scene also made Xiang Yu have to be more careful.

Slowed down again.

Lancers and shield soldiers alternately position themselves.

The sharp warriors guarded both sides, and the crossbow arrow phalanx was guarded in the center.

All weapons have been distributed to the Tuo Yue people and the South Vietnamese surrender troops.

Some of the Qin army's spare weapons were even replaced with their original old bronze wares.

Keep going until you pass the last low mountain.

The front suddenly opened up, and a plain appeared.

This is the area where Linchen is located.

The expected ambush did not appear.

Xiang Yu frowned and turned around to look at the short mountains on both sides. This was the opponent's last chance to ambush, so why was there no movement?

Unable to figure it out, Xiang Yu stopped thinking about it.

Now that he's on such a plain, he no longer needs to worry even if the other party has more people than him.

After all, he was born to like to defeat more with less!

……

Jieyang.

Ying Xuan looked helplessly at Chang Xuan, who was leading two vicious dogs and chasing after him again.

Just after burning Daoyi that night.

Sigouzai didn't know when he would appear next to him again.

He was covered in a stench, and he wrote down the idiom that poison will lead to death in front of Ying Xuan.

He declared that he wanted to pass it on to future generations, after all, this was the first cruel act of the young master!
Although it is because the other party is too ignorant and ignorant.

But it is also a truth that cannot be forgotten!

But it's a pity that just after he remembered it.

Chang Xuan led two vicious dogs and chased him. In his haste, he even lost the manuscript.

After Zhang Liang picked it up.

"I accidentally threw the manuscript into the water."

"I accidentally stepped on it twice!"

After a few days, Sigouzai once again shook off Changxuan.

When I wanted to record it again, I forgot a lot of things.I can only come and ask the soldiers.

But those soldiers all spoke with anger.

"The barbarians on that island are ferocious and cruel, and they often plunder the local Yue people."

"This time, they just found out that we have few people, so they sent troops to burn, kill, and loot. It's inhumane!"

"Young Master killed them all on behalf of Tian Xingdao and avenged us and the people of Yue."

Sigouzai blinked. Why did he remember that it seemed different?

"What is the poison that will kill you?"

The soldiers said hurriedly.

"It's used to describe those people who do evil things and will definitely be punished by God and die!"

Sigouzai frowned and thought for a while, feeling that something was wrong!

Although he has forgotten the details, it cannot be false that all the people on the island were burned to death and silenced!

Just then, the dog barked again.

Sigouzai scolded with some annoyance.

"Chang Xuan! If you want to cover up the truth so much, you are a poisonous person who will die!"

"Will be damned!"

Chang Xuan behind him didn't say a word, but fiercely let go of the hemp rope holding the dog.

Suddenly, Sigouzai screamed and fled again.

From then on, every few days, Sigouzai would go back to Jieyang to find the truth after leaving Changxuan for a while.

But the version I find is different every time.

In such a hurry, he even forgot his original purpose.

Do you want to record what happened?
He really couldn't remember it. In the end, he was so angry that he even went directly to Ying Xuan and asked him personally what happened that day.

Ying Xuan had no time to pay attention to him.

He grinded to death.

Unfortunately, Chang Xuan, who knew the details of Si Gou Zai, turned into a patron saint at this moment.

He always stays by Ying Xuan's side, waiting for something to happen.

Every time Si Gouzai showed up, he was chased by dogs in a panic.

Ying Xuan shook his head and sighed slightly.

Finally, I focused on the system.

After burning the island, he ordered Changsha County to move thousands of poor families to the island.

This was to test the attitude of the governor of Changsha County.

Unexpectedly, the effect is surprisingly good.

A few days after the order was issued, the Cheng of Changsha County came with his people.

Ying Xuan explained it well.

The government government gave them seeds, fishing boats, and cloth regularly.

All free, but there is a requirement.

That means taking the children at home and returning to Changsha to worship the clan at least twice a year.

Don't forget this!

Such a good thing makes thousands of poor families feel like they are lucky.

I am very grateful to Ying Xuan, and I promise again and again that I will never let future generations forget their roots!
This was a small and casual move by Ying Xuan.

Try your best to change the pattern of future generations.

But who would have expected that he would suddenly be prompted by the system.

Changed the history of the island barbarians.

Award a chance to draw a card.

Although it was only once, Ying Xuan was still very excited. What skills would appear this time?
Then, he drew an equipment card again!

Ying Xuan was helpless.

I looked at this card and thought about it again and again.

Now Xiang Yu has the smallest number of troops, and he is also the one who goes the deepest to the west.

Ying Xuan decided to give it to Xiang Yu.

"Hey, the system prompts: An identity card can be equipped with up to two skills, and it cannot be changed!"

"Is the host sure?"

Ying Xuan did not hesitate.

"determine"

Then the equipment card disappeared, and a gap appeared again in the upper left corner of Xiang Yu's identity card.

This time, Ying Xuan thought for a long time before deciding to hand over the lead to Xiang Yu.

After all, what he is best at in history is to win more with less.

This skill adds shock to him, which is simply tailor-made.

After doing this, Ying Xuan saw that there was a large list of loyalties at the bottom of the system.

And the exceptions are all in red font.

With notes at the back.

"Tip, the Lord of Tuoyue is loyal, (requests to wipe out the Jing clan and help Tuoyue avenge the blood feud.)"

Tip: (This is conditional loyalty. The host must fulfill these promises to fully gain their loyalty.)
Ying Xuan pulled down, and there were thousands of such loyal words.

Ying Xuan couldn't help but take a deep breath.

What was Xiang Yu doing in Tuoyue?

How could they be loyal to themselves?
And this Jing clan?Isn't it further south?

It happens to be my target, the ethnic group near Jiaozhi!

Such a coincidence?
At this moment, the system suddenly prompted again.

"Beep! It has been detected that the host force has begun to contact foreign enemies!"

"Successfully activated a new section of the system - Expedition!"

The name is very short, only two words!
But it made Ying Xuan narrow his eyes severely.

"This long-term process has no obvious stages. The system will depend on the results of the host's external expedition."

"The more frequent the expeditions, the more successful they are, and the greater their impact on future generations, the more generous the rewards (including physical rewards) will be!"

"At this stage, the targets of the external expedition are: Jiaozhi and Jing people!"

Ying Xuan's eyes suddenly narrowed.

This time, the system did what I wanted.

Thousands of miles from Xianyang to here, I finally found the goal of my trip.

And there are real rewards!

Does this mean that the system will finally affect the world in a material form for the first time?

What will happen?
A scene occurred to Ying Xuan uncontrollably in his mind.

Flatten the anti-aircraft gun?

Just when the corners of his mouth were raised crazily, he kept lusting after him.

Outside the hospital, a shirtless Lu Hui suddenly ran up.

"Sir! Do you have any other details about the water wheel blasting method?"

Ying Xuan's thoughts were interrupted and the corner of his mouth twitched.

Now he is just as fed up with Lu Hui as Sigou Zai is fed up with Chang Xuan.

This guy delivered the hundred-refined steel armor and long sword halfway last time.

He actually refused to leave and depended on his side for life and death.

Just started asking about how to stir-fry steel.

Ying Xuan still knows the general steps.

The most important step in frying steel is to produce liquid wrought iron.

If you want to increase the temperature of the blast furnace, the most important step is to blow the water wheel.

But Ying Xuan really doesn’t remember this thing!

He is not an encyclopedia, how can he remember everything so clearly.

"Ahem! I need to teach you everything, so what else do you need to do?"

Lu Hui, who was once praised as a gentleman by Yang Wuku and others, now looked very ashamed.

But he still saluted shamelessly and held up a few pieces of paper, hoping to let Ying Xuan instruct him.

"Lu Hui is stupid, please give me a few more lessons!"

"Last time, your casual words helped me figure out so many difficult problems."

Ying Xuan looked arrogant, but inside he was anxious and wanted to find a reason to fool him.

But who would have thought that as soon as his eyes glanced at the pieces of paper, he immediately froze on the spot.

Isn't the waterwheel painted on Lu Hui's head?
"You~didn't you draw it correctly?"

Lu Hui suddenly raised her head with surprise on her face.

"Is the drawing correct?"

But then came worries again.

"But it's just water moving the wooden wheel."

"It can't encourage wind!"

Ying Xuan rolled his eyes.

"Can you make the wooden core that rotates in the middle longer, and stick out the other end to install a leather paddle (tuo Qin Shi's blower)?"

Lu Hui was suddenly stunned, and then said excitedly with wide eyes.

"Yes! It's so simple!"

Ying Xuan had a smile on his face, but he kept complaining in his heart.

"What's going on? I just described a few words casually based on my impression, and he really did it?"

"Why is this completely different from when I invented it?"

"If this continues, I'm afraid that if Lu Hui comes again two times, I will be hollowed out!"

"How can we maintain this, a cold and mysterious persona!"

Ying Xuan, who was a little shocked in his heart, waved his hand and said.

"I've rewarded you with gold! If you don't go back to Lujiang County, the blacksmiths and people will be dissatisfied!"

"Let's go, let's go, hurry up!"

Lu Hui now had all the knowledge and didn't intend to stop there.

After the steel frying method is completed, you can come back to see the young master!

He bowed again and left with a satisfied mind and body.

After Lu Hui left, Ying Xuan was preparing to assemble an army and continue his journey westward.

But he was interrupted again.

"Sir! A businessman who came from Changsha County really wants to see you."

"I've already met you several times!"

Ying Xuan raised his eyebrows.

"No! I can be seen by anyone, too?"

"It's ridiculous for a businessman to meet me!"

But the soldier responded hurriedly and complained softly when he left.

"I just said that the young master will not meet, but you still have to ask me, a bunch of cheap businessmen think that they can meet the young master by bringing a thousand pieces of gold? The young master already has a gold mine, but he still wants to see the young master..."

Ying Xuan, who has good hearing, coughed twice at the right time.

"Ahem! Wait!"

"Since this business class is so sincere, let me meet you!"

Then Ying Xuan blinked and asked again.

"Which wealthy businessman is so rich that he gives away thousands of gold as soon as he comes?"

The soldier said in a daze.

"It seems that her name is Ba Qing, and she is a widow!"

"The kind sealed by His Majesty himself!"
