Bad people in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 222 Wei Guo Fengyun
With the efforts of half of the royal family of Great Qin, several coal mines near the Wei River were excavated. Yingqi even sent troops with horses and carriages to transport them, and fleets were also ready.

Although the northwest wind is blowing now, the ship itself has been equipped with huge wooden wheels, turning the ship into a steamer, which can better travel against the current.

Of course, if the northwest wind is too strong, you can only stop at the shore and wait until the wind subsides before continuing upstream.

At the same time, the first batch of Baiyue young men have also arrived in the Longxi area, stationed in the land they conquered, and are preparing to open up wasteland for farming.

After all, the food and grass they captured from the Korean and Chu armies were limited, and Qin could not always support them. Even if they were supported by the fish from the Weihe and Yellow Rivers, they would not be able to last long.

Therefore, we must open up wasteland and farm as soon as possible to become self-sufficient.

Tianze led the army to march west, taking advantage of the Qiang and Di young and strong people in this area to be dispatched as a large army to be wiped out, and hurried over to occupy the territory.

Most people can't adapt to the environment on the plateau. They have to take a break here and wait until they get used to it before going up there.

Of course, the most important thing is to capture those salt lakes.

They have already sent people over to take a look. The salt lake there is abundant and clean. It can be used if almost dug out.

This is all wealth. We have already discussed it with Ying Zheng and others. They will take [-]% of the profits from selling salt and exchange it for food, which will be supplied by Qin to assist their people's lives this year.

Once the first batch of grain is harvested here, it will be basically stable.

In addition, there are many rivers and lakes there, especially one of them, which is as big as the sea. There are many fish in it, swarming in swarms, and these are high-quality food.

To a certain extent, this place is much better than their Baiyue land.

Although there are enemies around, the Yuezhi in the north are blocked by high mountains. Although the Qiang Di in the south are a trouble, they are much worse than Chu and they can handle it.

The Qin State was busy here, and the Six Kingdoms also received news of Qin's victory. They even knew that the steel-making method Qin obtained from Baiyue could produce unlimited amounts of arrows. Said to be invincible.

Qin's strength again made the six countries anxious. Even Yan and Qi, which were not bordering Qin, became nervous.

In the past, the power of the Qin State was still within the scope of understanding, but now the Qin State has become stronger again, and coupled with the black dragon, the sacred beast that protects the country, it has become an unstoppable existence.

In addition, the Qin State has always had the ambition to unify all the countries and replace the Great Zhou. Now it is really possible that the Qin State will unify the world and all the countries will cease to exist.

If the country is gone, you can imagine the fate of these powerful people.

Not long after, envoys from the State of Qin led teams to arrive in various countries and delivered documents of condemnation written by the King of Qin himself.

The State of Wei, which was closest to Xianyang of the State of Qin, received it first, and the King of Wei was furious.

"Your Wei State must give an explanation to our Great Qin regarding this matter, or your Wei State really ignores the justice of our Central Plains nation and colludes with the foreign barbarians."

Meng Yi, who was the envoy of the Qin Dynasty this time, said coldly that he did not give Wei Wang Yu any face.

Standing behind him was Da Qin, and they had just wiped out the Wei Wu soldiers who were so powerful in the Wei Kingdom, so they had absolute confidence.

Not to mention that [-] golden fire cavalry are still stationed in Gongcheng. If I make a mistake here, my father will lead the army to Daliang City in Wei State within three days.

"Zhu Hai has long been deprived of the position of general by this king. This matter is a private matter between him and Lord Xinling. Lord Xinling has not returned to the country for several years. What they did has nothing to do with me, the Great Wei Dynasty."

King Wei of Wei suppressed his anger and blamed Zhu Hai and Lord Xinling for the matter.

He was also depressed. He really didn't know about this. After the last defeat, Zhu Hai reported illness to rest, but he didn't take it seriously. Who would have thought that that guy would follow Lord Xinling to Longxi of Qin State and help the foreign barbarians? Fighting, and also let Qin kill him on the spot.

Now bring Zhu Hai's armor and the token of the head of the armored sect. The evidence is so solid that he can't even refute it.

Now we can only clear away the relationship first, without giving Qin an excuse, and we cannot live up to the reputation of colluding with foreign barbarians.

"But they are indeed from your Wei State. A royal family member and a general can represent our Wei State. It is unreasonable for the King of Wei to shirk it like this. Or wait until I, the Great Qin Cavalry, come to Daliang City to have a good talk with the King of Wei. .”

Meng Yi's expression was still cold and stern, but he would not let Wei Wangyu fool him like this. This time, Wei must get some blood.

Sure enough, when he heard the Qin army, King Wei's expression changed slightly. Now that Wei had lost its strongest soldier, there was no way to withstand the Qin army.

Although they can definitely withstand a fight, if they fight on their own territory, even if they win in the end, they will be devastated. That loss is not what he wants to see.

"I will give you an answer in three days!"

Seeing Meng Yi's intention, Wei Wangyu left a few words, got up and left with a gloomy face.

"The envoy will be waiting for good news from King Wei!"

Meng Yi replied politely, then turned around and walked out of the hall, never looking at the Wei courtiers on both sides.

"The thief of Qin, please give back my master's life!"

As soon as they walked out of the palace gate, a group of burly men rushed over with murderous intent.

The Qin master who escorted Meng Yi unsheathed his long sword and was ready to fight.

But before those people could rush forward, a more burly figure rushed over and knocked those people to the ground one by one.

"Elder brother, why are you stopping us?"

After getting up, the Armored Sect masters asked angrily, not understanding why the ceremony was being blocked.

"Isn't that embarrassing enough? Go back, or get out of the armored door!"

Dianqing yelled angrily. He had realized something was wrong when he saw the absence of those fellow apprentices, and hurried over to intercept them.

If we really let these idiots kill Qin's envoys, Wei will definitely be in great trouble.

Now Qin's attention is on the foreign tribes in the west. If it turns its attention to Wei and has an excuse to send troops, it will be in trouble.

"Big Brother!"

Everyone was still puzzled, but under the cold and stern eyes of the ceremony, they could only leave angrily.

"Pijiamen Dianqing is here to apologize to the Qin envoy. I promise that this will never happen again in the future."

After all the fellow apprentices had left, Dianqing turned around, hung his axes behind his back, and saluted Meng Yi with his hands clasped in fists.

Meng Yi looked at the burly man in front of him and waved his hand to signal the guards to put away their swords.

"I've heard about you. Huang Tianhou said that you are the strongest genius in the armor sect today. You are extremely talented and will definitely be able to cultivate the Hundred Refined Shield Armor to the level of perfection. If your state of mind is not broken, you may even go one step further."

Meng Yi had really heard of this man. During the Battle of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, they discussed with Huang Tianhou the masters that the Wei State might send. Huang Tianhou specifically warned the Wei State General Zhu Hai and this ceremony. It must be extraordinary to be named by Huang Tianhou. Today It turned out to be true at first sight.

"Huang Tianhou!"

Dianqing's expression turned unpleasant after he uttered that name. That was the main culprit for the downfall of their Wei soldiers.

"Actually, in my opinion, your master and you guys from the armored sect are very stupid. You know that the king of Wei is not Lord Xinling, but you are still loyal to him. This is a big taboo. Even if he doesn't die in Longxi this time, If you fight, you will be punished by King Wei."

Meng Yi recalled the letter his brother sent before departure and decided to deceive him now.

"Don't sow discord!"

Dianqing instinctively retorted, but his heart sank.

As the person second only to Master in the Armored Sect, he knew more, and he also understood that King Wei had always been dissatisfied with Master, and had rejected Master's request to fight last time.

"You are one of the few people with brains in the armored sect. Do you want to stir up dissension? You know in your heart that Wei Wangyu is old. If you really have to wait until the time comes to pave the way for the new king, do you think he will not worry about waiting for him to die? , your master cooperates with Lord Xinling to come back and seize the throne?
From the point of view of etiquette, Lord Xinling is qualified to succeed. As long as all the sons of King Wei of Wei die in infancy, Lord Xinling can come back and take over the throne openly. Moreover, with his reputation in Wei and other countries in the world, There will be no opposition.

Under such circumstances, your master did not immediately sever ties with Lord Xinling, but instead remained secretly loyal to him. This is already a recipe for death.

I tell you this because Huang Tianhou and I both admire you for your potential and some brains. It would be a pity to die in the struggle for royal power. I hope you will not follow the same path as your master.

As a general, it is taboo to participate in political struggles. Your way of thinking cannot play with this. Participating in it will only lead to death.

On the battlefield in the future, you may meet my brother. He has always been eager to fight head-on with strong men like you and the soldiers of Wei. Let’s see who is stronger, the soldiers of Wei, or our golden fire cavalry. . "

After finishing what he had thought of, Meng Yi took a deep look at the silent ceremony in front of him, raised his feet and continued to move forward.

Jianqing stood there silently thinking for a long time before finally sighing and leaving.

After he left, a guard at the city gate turned around and ran towards the palace.

"It's an interesting doll. Qin is really full of talents!"

In the palace, Wei Wangyu listened to the guard's report and spoke highly of the young man who had made him so angry before.

"Zhu Hai, Zhu Hai, I have treated you well over the years and given you countless opportunities. Why do you still follow him wholeheartedly?" Wei Wangyu sighed. Wei Wangyu had been very depressed about this.

He admired Zhu Hai very much, and even made him the general of the Wei State, and gave him the command of Wei Wuzu, the strongest army in the Wei State. However, such love did not win Zhu Hai's loyalty, and he was secretly loyal to Wei Wuji. .

Not only Zhu Hai, but also Ru Ji back then. Was that younger brother really that charming?
"Wuji did go too far this time!"

Queen Le Ling beside her also sighed, and stepped forward to rub her husband's temples to soothe her mood.

"He has always been radical in doing things. This was the case when he stole military talismans. He thought that I was afraid of Qin and did not dare to send troops, but I didn't know that I wanted to wait until all the Qin army entered Zhao before sending troops to support. In this way, the battlefield could be fixed in Zhao. Within the country, it will not affect our country, the Wei Dynasty.

I thought he would make progress during these years of resting in Zhao Guojing, but it's a pity that others look down on him.

First, he asked Zhu Hai to arrange people to assassinate Qin's protons, and then quietly participated in the Baiyue War. This time, he even got involved with foreign barbarians and acted completely recklessly. This is how he was even among our brothers back then. The most talented person, but the main reason why his father still did not pass the throne to him. "

His face was still very ugly. Wei Wangyu really wanted to catch that younger brother and chop him into pieces. He was causing trouble day by day.

Stealing military talismans back then made him the laughing stock of the world, and it was not like he didn't understand the truth. If Qin really wanted to capture Zhao, the next target would definitely be Wei.

He just wanted Qin and Zhao to suffer losses first, and placed the battlefield within Zhao's territory, so that Zhao would be severely damaged, and after the war, they would be able to move north to occupy Zhao.

He even secretly negotiated with King Yan to join forces to divide Zhao State after the war.

But who would have thought that the idiot younger brother would hit him from behind. After the fight, the Wei Kingdom lost all their troops and not even a hair was caught, which made him angry and vomit blood.

"Although Ambassador Qin was deliberately sowing discord and even calculated that people would know what he said, what he said was also true.

When I was there, I could still suppress Wuji, but once I was gone, no one in Wei would be able to check and balance him. Wu'er was still young, so he was even more dangerous.

Even in this palace, it is difficult for everyone to see clearly who belongs to him. If another Ruji appears, you will all be in danger. "

Speaking of finally holding his wife's hand in his hands, although Wei Wangyu didn't want to admit it, he was indeed getting old, his energy was not as good as before, and he might pass away in a few years.

The transfer of the throne has always been a worry for him in the past few years, and he has always been wary of his younger brother and the general Zhu Hai, and has told Zhu Hai many times overtly and secretly, but it's a pity that he is just a pimple.

It would be better if he died this time, it would save him the trouble of making arrangements and ruining his reputation.

Of course, Qin also had to guard against it.

Now that the Qin State has captured the Eastern Zhou State, the army is hundreds of miles away from Daliang City and can attack at any time. In addition, they have no soldiers from Wei here, making it difficult for him to sleep and eat well.

"But Wei's soldiers must be rebuilt as soon as possible, otherwise it will be more difficult to withstand Qin's army."

Queen Leling can understand her husband's difficulties, but Wei soldiers must also rebuild as soon as possible. That is their most powerful guarantee for the Wei Dynasty.

Without Wei Wu's soldiers, even Daliang City would not be stable.

"I am waiting for the answer from the ceremony."

With a faint look in his eyes, Wei Wangyu also knew the importance of Wei Wuzu. If he wanted to quickly rebuild Wei Wuzu, he could only use the Armored Sect as the core, but he had concerns and did not want another white-eyed wolf like Zhu Hai to appear.

"You mean Wuji is back?"

Queen Leling was thoughtful and understood her husband's thoughts.

"Although his approach is radical, he has indeed been plotting for Wei. He will definitely come back after causing such losses this time, and the Armored Sect is also an important force in his hands, and he cannot give up.

I don't care about the others, but that Jianqing is indeed a talent. I hope he can clear his mind and not be as stupid as his master. "

Taking a sip of the tea handed to him by his wife, Wei Wangyu wanted to see what the ceremony would choose. This was also a test for him.

King Wei of Wei expected that Lord Xinling was indeed in the general's mansion. He also saw Lord Xinling after returning from the ceremony.

In his early years, he followed his master to meet Lord Xinling. At that time, Lord Xinling was very high-spirited and energetic. Although his face is still handsome now, he has a lot of white hair on his head.

"Celebrate boldly, but you still don't show courtesy to your Majesty?"

Seeing the ceremony and staring straight at it, a guest behind Mr. Xinling shouted sharply.

Lord Xinling raised his hand to stop the retainer who wanted to continue. He looked at the burly man in front of him and said with emotion: "Back then, you were still a young boy following Zhu Hai. I didn't expect that you have grown so big after not seeing each other for so many years."

"Yes, I have grown up and have seen some things and people clearly."

The expression on the ceremony was very cold and sad, and there was even more resentment in his heart.

The other brothers didn't believe Qin Guo's words, but he knew it was true.

The master told them that he had achieved a breakthrough in seclusion, but he knew that the master had left secretly. At that time, he didn't know where he went. Only when someone from the Qin State arrived did he realize that he had gone to Longxi and helped the foreign barbarians fight.

Although he is not from Yan, Zhao and Qin, and does not have that much hatred for the grassland aliens, he also understands that the grassland aliens are their mortal enemies in the Central Plains. It is wrong for his master to cooperate with them. Now that his master is dead, he cannot avenge his master. .

This is a national righteousness, a righteousness that transcends the national level. As long as you are a Central Plains person and a descendant of Yan and Huang, you must not violate it, otherwise you will not have the face to see your ancestors after death.

"You hate me? You really should hate me!"

Seeing the resentment surrounding the ceremony, Lord Xinling looked sad.

"I don't welcome you, and you are not welcome here. You can take away anyone who is willing to follow you. Please don't come here again from now on."

Taking a deep breath, Jianqing expressed his decision.

He was still hesitating before, but after listening to the words of the Qin envoy, he understood clearly and made a decision.

As he said, as a military general, he should not participate in court politics, especially the struggle for royal power.

The master has proved with his own death that it is a dead end. Naturally, he cannot lead his brothers to go down that dead end again.

"presumptuous!"

Dianqing's words made Lord Xinling's disciples even angrier, and they even drew their swords out of their sheaths, preparing to kill him here.

"Put away your sword!"

Before these people could take action, Lord Xinling shouted coldly, his voice extremely sharp and cold, and even more majestic.

"Your Majesty!"

The disciples were puzzled, but under the cold gaze of Lord Xinling, they could only sheath the sword unwillingly.

"As the saying goes, people with different paths do not seek to conspire with each other. I respect your choice and will stick to my philosophy. For the sake of Wei, I am willing to bear any infamy and die without regrets.

From now on, the Kingdom of Wei will be left to your protection. "

Stepping forward and patting Dianqing's arm, Lord Xinling walked out.

Now that others have issued eviction orders, there is no need for him to stay shamelessly, as that would be detrimental to both parties.

"Humph!"

All the disciples stared at the ceremony coldly, and then left, and most of the disciples in the armored gate also followed.

"Brother, why don't you avenge your master and kill the Qin thief?"

After that person left, a little loli ran in and asked angrily. Her eyes were red, and she had obviously cried before.

That was the master who loved her the most, how could she not be sad?
"Master left a will before he left, not allowing us to avenge him."

Looking at the junior sister in front of him, Jianqing's expression softened a little and he lied.

He didn't know what Master was thinking, but he believed that Master had done something wrong. This was an indisputable fact.

Now he just wants to let this matter go away as soon as possible, otherwise the argument will only make the master suffer a longer period of infamy.

"I do not believe!"

Ten thousand little lolita didn't believe it. How could the master leave such a will?
The armored disciples who followed behind were also puzzled. What did the master say to the senior brother before retreating?
He stood up straight, glanced at all the brothers present, and said seriously: "Although I also want to avenge Master, Master's choice this time is indeed wrong. He also knows that it is wrong, but for Wei country, he had no choice for the sake of Lord Xinling, whom he was loyal to.

Master hopes that his matter will end with him and does not want to involve us.

Before departure, the master left a last order, and the armored sect tried its best to rebuild the Wei soldiers and continue to guard the gate of the Wei Dynasty.

We are born as people of the Wei Dynasty, and we die as the ghosts of the Wei Dynasty! "
