Bad people in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 325
"I may be targeted by the Queen Mother."

Not to mention Lu Buwei, Lord Changping was also having a headache over the Empress Dowager Qin.

The Queen Mother of Qin was obviously kept in Xianyang by King Qin to keep an eye on them, especially important figures like them who were watched even more closely and had to attend court every morning.

Originally, after cooperating with Lu Buwei, he could secretly leave Xianyang City to make some plans, but he was targeted by the Queen Mother of Qin. She had to go to the palace to report to the court every day, and there were specialized personnel to compare and verify. He wanted to find someone. Even a substitute will not work.

As a result, I can only stay in Xianyang City for the past two years, and the plan here is nothing, after all, it is such a big place.

After I cooperate with Lu Buwei and Luo Wang, many things will become simple and there is no need to pay too much attention to them.

At this time, it is best to leave Xianyang City to make plans. Although he has many people here, especially the farmer Wu Kuang is very capable. He is not only powerful but also extremely thoughtful.

Pity!
"The last attack on Prince Chu of Qin will definitely make Qin Wangzheng suspicious. He is not targeting you, but the entire Chu family."

Xiang Liu analyzed it and concluded that he didn't think Chang Ping Jun was targeted alone, but that everyone was targeted.

"Hope it!"

Now, Mr. Changping can only pray that he is not the one being targeted, otherwise many plans will not be carried out, and he may even die here.

"Are the dams on the Yellow River still inaccessible?"

When asked about the secrets in the Yellow River dam, Changping Jun felt unwilling.

Although Qin Wangzheng and Huang Tianhou tried their best to keep it secret, they could guess some things from clues.

He wanted a mechanism that could generate electricity. In this way, he only needed to obtain the Thunder Breathing Technique from the Mohists, and then he could cultivate an army of warriors on a large scale.

As long as he has an army of warriors, he has the capital to establish himself and live in peace.

You can even be more confident when you return to Chu State to seize the throne in the future, so you must get the secret of the generator pass.

"No."

Xiang Liu shook his head. He tried to sneak in, but unfortunately he couldn't even break through the defenses.

"Release the news to the six countries. As long as we defeat Qin Wangzheng and Huang Tianhou, we can also get the secret inside."

Although he was unwilling to do so, Lord Changping could only settle for the next best thing.

There are obviously complete defense measures on those dams. Even if a strong person in the Heavenly Realm wants to sneak in, it will be difficult for him to climb into the sky, and he may even die there.

After all, a strong person in the Heavenly Realm is still a body of flesh and blood, and he is still helpless against such a killer level trap.

Not to mention that there are still a large number of warriors stationed in those dams, as well as some masters and strong men, so it is unrealistic to attack them by force.

He even suspected that there was a means of self-destruction inside, and even if they attacked the core, they would not gain anything.

Now we can only plot against Qin Wangzheng and Huang Tianhou.

"They are planning not only the Yellow River and the Western Regions, but also the land of Bashu."

As a reminder, Xiang Liu believes that the land of Bashu is more important. Not only is Qin Wangzheng and Huang Tianhou planning there, but more importantly, Yu Yuan is sealed there.

Although he did not participate in the battle between Xuanyuan Huangdi and Chi You, he also knew what was going on. The Yu Yuan seal was an extremely terrifying existence.

It wouldn't matter if he got his body back, but now he only has a soul, and his body is still dispersed and suppressed by the Jiuzhou Cauldron. There must be no problem with Yu Yuan's seal, let alone being discovered.

At least he couldn't be discovered before he recovered. After he recovered, it wouldn't matter. He even wanted to break it open and cause chaos in the world, lest those powerful human beings gather against him again.

Back then, he was besieged and killed by Emperor Yu and his men. Not only Emperor Yu was his enemy, but also the entire human race.

"The blockade in Bashu is very tight, and it is controlled by the half of the royal family. It is very repulsive to our Chu clan, especially after Ying Zichu was killed, it became even more hostile. It is difficult for our people to get through, and even more difficult to spread the news. .”

When it comes to the land of Bashu, Lord Changping frowns and has a headache about it.

The land of Bashu is the most important to their Chu country, because it is the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. As long as they build a fleet, the Qin army can go down the river and threaten their entire Chu country.

Coupled with the water system on the Yellow River, the threat is too great.

So they, Da Chu, have been plotting against Bashu and want to defeat it.

It's a pity that Qin made two calculations, not only losing troops and generals, but also occupied a large amount of land by Qin, making him even more passive.

He has also been planning for the land of Bashu, but unfortunately it is too tightly sealed and implemented a militarized management. It is difficult to send people in and the information he can get is very limited.

At present, it can only be determined that the Qin State discovered large-scale iron ore and coal mines there, and thus produced iron and steel machinery on a large scale.

The tens of thousands of rhinoceroses used in the last joint war were obtained from the land of Bashu, and the bamboo used for smuggling them secretly was also a specialty of Bashu.

Rubbing his forehead, Mr. Changping stopped thinking about the Bashu land and turned the topic back to the Yellow River dam.

“How many dams have they built?”

He has been planning the farm's affairs recently, and found that Luo Wang seemed to be planning the farm's affairs as well, so he paid more attention to the farm's family and inevitably let go of other things.

"Eight giant dams were built, and 91 smaller dams were built."

Speaking of the current number, Xiang Liu couldn't help but sigh at the madness of mankind. They want to lift the entire Yellow River.

At the same time, the giant steel mechanism is also very heartbreaking. Its size is considered huge among the alien beasts, but it is still too small compared to that kind of steel mechanism.

"They really want to raise the water level of the entire Yellow River to better irrigate farmland."

Sure enough, Lord Changping had already guessed the intentions of Qin Wangzheng and Huang Tianhou after he knew that Longxi had built such a giant mechanism and was building a dam like crazy.

Although the Qin State is located on the land of the Yellow River and the Wei River, except for the Yellow River and the Wei River, other places are relatively short of water, which greatly affects farmland irrigation.

If the water level of the Yellow River is raised as a whole, it will undoubtedly be able to irrigate more farmland, thereby increasing Qin's grain production.

This is of great benefit to the entire Qin State. Once there is sufficient food, the people will be able to feed more children and increase the overall population of Qin.

At the same time, with sufficient food reserves, Qin's army can fight at will, and the benefits are in all aspects.

The power of Qin was a disaster for the other six countries.

It's a pity that they have no way to stop this, and they can't stop it, they can only watch helplessly.

"I really want to see that machine tyrant!"

After the sorrow, Lord Changping was very yearning for it. If they, the Chu people, could have that kind of giant mechanism, they could transform many rivers in the country, especially the Yangtze River.

Although the Yangtze River brought many benefits to the Chu State, such as river transportation and farmland irrigation, it also brought disasters.

Although the floods in the Yangtze River are not as violent as those in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, it rains more in the south and floods occur more frequently.

Once a flood breaks out, not only farmland will be destroyed, but people will also be drowned, which is a huge loss to the entire country.

If there is such a giant mechanism, they can build dams on all rivers, including the Yangtze River, which is equivalent to locking those rivers.

Although it is still impossible to completely control floods, it can greatly reduce the level of floods.

"The Qin State used dams to store water in the Yellow River. This might be a terrible weapon."

Xiang Liu suddenly mentioned that the Qin State could use those dams to store water and better irrigate farmland, and at the same time, it could also release all the water when needed.

If heavy rains occur in Qi and Wei, floods will be enough to turn the country into a lake.

Of course, he is not concerned about the Six Nations, but he does not want to see the unification of the human race, which is a threat to himself.

"There is such a usage, but Qin Wangzheng and Huang Tianhou will not use it. What they want is to unify the world, and they must win over the people. There are some things they cannot do."

Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Changping-kun's lips. This was a weakness that could be exploited.

And while Lord Changping was discussing the Yellow River dam here, the official Baxia had already turned to the north-south river course of the Yellow River, with Zhao State to the east.

Lian Po even led an army of [-] people over and watched from a distance.

After all, he was such a big guy, and the Qin State also sent a hundred thousand troops to accompany him, including many warrior legions, so he had to pay attention to it.

The people on the Qin side ignored this and continued to choose the location and start building the dam as usual.

This is a good location to build a giant dam.

First, the Scourge Legion and the [-] Hundred Vietcong Legion of Exorcists took action to shape the ice dam to block the water.Because the dam above has begun to store water, the water level in this section of the Yellow River has dropped a lot, making it easier to block and last longer.

Then the nine steel tentacles on the machine's back extended out, and various tools were installed to excavate the river bottom south of the Ice Dam.

If a dam wants to be stable and withstand the impact of the Yellow River water flow, it must have a sufficient foundation. The foundation must not only be dug large, but also deep.

Fortunately, this was nothing to a big guy of the size of the machine bully, and a large area of ​​silt was quickly cleared, forming a deep pit that cut off the entire bottom of the river.

The soil below is much harder and strong enough to carry the weight.

At the same time, huge steel ships came from behind, carrying very huge square stone pillars.

The steel tentacles under the machine gun changed the clamps, picked up the giant stone pillars at the back one by one, and thrust the tip downwards into the dug pit.

At the same time, the head of the machine bully extended out, using its own weight to press down the boulders, making them stronger.

It didn't take long to build nine neat rows of stone pillar foundations, but there seemed to be an endless stream of steel giant ships behind them, filling the entire river surface with huge rocks of various shapes.

This was dug out of some rocky mountains by specially dispatched warrior corps, and then dragged out by machine giants and put on ships to be transported as the main material for building dams.

In addition, the adhesive is mixed with some materials, covered between the boulders, and then pressed up piece by piece like building blocks.

Of course, it is not simply built up, but has a special structure. This is a structure designed by the leaders of Moban. It refers to the water conservancy facilities in the government city and various rivet structures. The boulders stacked up become more stable and durable, and even become a whole.

In addition to this is the construction of the internal mechanism passages, as well as the most critical generator set.

The generator set is built inside the machine, and Mo Ban designed an assembly workshop there to assemble the manufactured parts into generators, which are then sent out from the machine for installation into the dam.

It was also the most heavily defended at this time, with [-] warrior legions watching around, and [-] Qin troops on both sides of the strait, all equipped with powerful mechanical bows and crossbows.

In addition, there are hundreds of steel machine black birds circling in the sky. Yan Lingji leads the musketry legion to be on standby at any time, and observes the surroundings to prevent suspicious people from approaching.

Under the water, there are hundreds of steel mechanism Xuanwu statues patrolling to prevent anyone from lurking in the water, and they cooperate with each other to form an all-round blockade by sea, land and air.

Anyone who looks at this luxurious lineup will feel numb, even if the powerful people from the Heavenly Realm form a group, they will have to kneel down.

Not to mention that with the size and thickness of the machine gun, not even a strong person in the Heavenly Realm can cut through it.

Simply incomprehensible!
"The future will definitely be dominated by mechanism skills!"

On the top of a hill not far away, Lian Po looked at the machine bully in the distance and was filled with emotion.

The Qin State has hidden it too deeply. This thing was not revealed during the last battle of Hezong. If he had known that the Qin State had such a thing, he would have made some guesses and would not have been so rash.

However, the potential of the mechanism technique was indeed fully utilized by the Qin State, and even exceeded the limit.

Qin's mechanism art itself was just like that, but it was developed from the mechanism artifacts captured by Gongshu and Mohists, and with the help of smelting methods of steel, it was possible to create this unimaginable giant.

If the Qin State casts something else like this, the other six countries would not need to fight, they would just surrender.

Even so, the rhinoceros trap he showed last time is something he can't even crack now.

He swung his sword to fight hard, but unfortunately it was too thick. Not only did he not cut through it with his sword, but it also got stuck, and he was almost pulled off the horse.

Facing that kind of mechanical beast army, even the Wuling Cavalry and Hu Dao Cavalry of Zhao State would have to kneel down.

If you can't chop it down, how can you beat it?

"Our people got the news that a delegation of public losers came from Handan, and the king personally received them."

The deputy general next to him hesitated for a moment, and finally told a piece of news.

"Public loser?"

Lian Po frowned. Although he didn't know much about the Gongshu family, he knew the contradiction between the Gongshu family and the Mohist family.

How could the king invite people from the public loser over and receive them in person?

This is not right, very wrong!
"Did the Mo family do anything during this time?"

His face became more serious, and Lian Po guessed that something might have happened.

He had stayed in Handan for a long time, met Zhao Wangyan when he was still the prince, and had some understanding of his character.

Coupled with the late king's instructions before his death, it was impossible for the king to do such a thing unless something special happened.

"It's not clear what the Mo family did, but two things happened in Handan City some time ago. One was that the king's favorite minister Guo Kai was assassinated, and the other was that the envoys of Wei and South Korea were besieged and killed. I heard that there were also There are two swordsmen in the Heavenly Realm involved, and the time is on the day of the King’s enthronement ceremony.”

The lieutenant general told him the information he had received. This information had actually been sent to him a long time ago, but the general had been busy and it was not very important, so he did not say anything.

Lian Po's old face darkened and he couldn't help but curse.

"Nonsense, how can those people be so ridiculous?"

Although he is a military commander, he also has some experience in being an official. Now when he hears the news, he can roughly guess what is going on.

Needless to say, the Mohist family must have been involved in those two incidents, and the evidence was found by the king, so he distrusted the Mohist family and invited Gongshu instead.

But this is only secondary. The key is the assassination of the king's favorite ministers and the envoys of Wei and Han. This is a clear slap in the face, and they want to start a war with the king.

That was an adult king, and there was no need to be temporarily unable to hold power like Qin Wangzheng and Wei Wangzeng. Those people were too radical to do so.

If it were someone else, he might have compromised, but according to his understanding of the king, the more he did this, the more annoyed the king would be, and the more paranoid and radical his actions would be, further escalating the conflict between the two parties.

This can be fatal.

"Those people don't trust the king's ability, and the king is very independent. It's not surprising that they would fight."

The deputy general said helplessly, there is no one else here, he can say some things without any taboo.

There was nothing he could do about this matter, and he had no way to participate or resolve it. He could only watch from here and wait for the final result.

"Disagreement between the ruler and his ministers is a taboo in a country, and Zhao is in danger!"

Sighing, Lian Po was extremely worried about the future of Zhao. If this goes on, something big will happen sooner or later.

He has the deepest experience of this kind of thing. In the Battle of Changping, it was because of the late king's distrust of him and some other problems that led to the change of generals on the spot. He was removed and transferred, and replaced by Zhao Kuo.

This led to a major defeat in Changping, and the last surviving soldiers were also tricked and killed by Bai Qi.

Now there is another internal problem in Zhao State, and it is more serious than the problem back then.

Back then, it was just the late king who didn't trust him, but now if the commotion continues, the king will clean up the entire court.

As the saying goes, one king has one courtier. This is normal, but it is not too exaggerated. The new king usually only replaces his cronies in some key positions and suppresses those who cannot get along with him. Most of them The courtiers will not move.

But now I am afraid that all the civil and military officials in the court will have to be replaced before they can stop. Those people have already angered the king.

"We have no control over things in Handan, and we can't control them, but we have to make plans and take precautions in advance."

The deputy general showed even more helplessness and immediately talked about their side.

Now it's just a matter in Handan. Once the king cleans up the court and takes charge, he will definitely attack their side, and the general will definitely be removed.

After all, more than half of Zhao's troops are gathered here, so the king will definitely not feel at ease.

"We just keep an eye on ourselves and don't let some people do stupid things."

He warned in a cold voice, Lian Po had suffered a setback in this area back then, so he would naturally pay more attention.

He was afraid that some people inside would have some thoughts, and if they were not good enough, they would lose their heads.

He didn't want to be implicated by some idiot.

"Qin is so lucky!"

Turning his head and looking at the behemoth in the distance again, Lian Po was very envious and worried. Compared with the prosperous Qin State, their country, Zhao, had fallen far behind.

If they don't catch up as soon as possible, when Qin solves its internal problems, it will inevitably start a unification war, and they, Zhao, will bear the brunt.

And I am afraid that I will be buried by then, and I don’t know if Zhao will be able to produce another famous general to take the lead, otherwise...
