Careerist in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 424 The new Eastern Emperor
After taking Aocang, Xingyang City collapsed due to Li You's death, so even if the Qin army outside the city was not defeated by the night attack, it had to surrender on its own initiative the next day.

Since the battle lasted for a short time and Li You implemented the hold-it-out tactics, the Qin army suffered little loss. Even though many of the Xingyang City defenders escaped together under the cover of night, the number of soldiers left in the entire defense line reached 5. many.

But after excluding the old, weak, sick and disabled, there are less than [-] elites to be selected, and more than half of them are from Lao Qin.

This number of elite Qi troops can still be eaten.

As for the remaining 2 Qin troops, most of them are survivors of the Six Kingdoms. During the current war, Lu Wei cannot easily let these people go just because they are pitiful: lowering the standard can select more than 1 people from them. Attack the surrounding counties that have not yet obeyed, expand the scope of influence, and the remaining [-] or so people can be used as logistics transportation teams no matter how weak they are.

Due to the timely destruction of the northern corridor, there are many grains stored in Aocang, which can reduce the heavy pressure on the Qi army.

And the most important thing is that in addition to its own grain storage, Aocang can use water transportation to transport grain from all over the world to the front line at a lower cost, whether it is Shandong Liuguo, Guanzhong, or Bashu:

Gathering the food from all over the world, whether it is transporting food to Guanzhong from the west or providing food to the east, this place must be the core.

Now that such a land is in Lu Wei's hands, there is no need to worry about heading westward.

"Your Majesty, the messenger of the snare has come again."

Supervising the battle for most of the night last night, he personally went into battle at the right time to boost the morale of the grassroots soldiers. However, Lu Wei was still energetic. After returning, he discussed with Chen Ping the arrangements for Xingyang today, and then enjoyed Ji Yan's accurate timing. Arranged hot tub.

The conditions in the military are indeed relatively simple, but in a world with inner energy and mechanism skills, it is not completely impossible to just make do with it.

After dawn, he entered the city and checked into the county governor's mansion. While he was reviewing various documents from Sanchuan County, Ji Yan came in and reported about Zhao Cheng's visit.

"You can just deal with this matter."

Without raising his head, Lu Wei ordered lightly.

Unlike last time, now that he knew Zhao Gao's bottom line, His Majesty the King of Qi naturally no longer had to personally pick him up to meet a 'Qin official'.

From the beginning to the end, Lu Wei never thought of stopping and enjoying himself in peace. Even if Zhao Gao sent someone to negotiate, he had no intention of actually succeeding in the negotiation. Both sides had their own purposes for wrangling.

Zhao Gao wanted to delay time. Lu Wei learned that Zhao Gao wanted to attack Li Si and decisively chose to support him.

Li Si is a profit-seeking and vengeful person, so he may have to say that the prime minister chosen by Ying Zheng is indeed outstanding.

With him around, the operation of Guanzhong can barely be maintained.

Zhao Gao killing him now is equivalent to another push for Lu Wei's destined final victory.

Moreover, since Li Si is dead, Hu Hai may not be far away.

Hu Hai's evil deeds were limited and played a certain role. However, now that the Qin State has lost direct control over the six Shandong countries, it is no longer meaningful for him to continue to live, but it would be very meaningful if he died.

No matter how evil an emperor is, he is still an emperor. When he is killed by his subordinates, the impact on the empire cannot be described in purely material terms.

The current negotiation gives Zhao Gao time to attack Li Si. Once Li Si is killed, Lu Wei will immediately break through Hangu Pass, which will further force Zhao Gao to attack Hu Hai.The army was approaching Guanzhong, and Hu Hai should wake up no matter how drunken he was. In order to prevent him from waking up and reprimanding himself, Zhao Gao of course had no choice but to act first.

As for what he can do after killing the second emperor, that depends on Lu Wei.

When a person is completely desperate, will he also think that he can survive by surrendering to the enemy?
------

The main force of Daze Mountain was used up, and the entire mountain range inevitably fell into silence.

The suddenly rebuilt Qi State now has two important cities: one is Linzi, and the other is Licheng.

Linzi was the capital of the old Qi State. Although the city wall was demolished, it still had complete administrative capabilities. Lu Qing brought the management of the farmers to live here, and with the help of Confucian Fu Nian, he got a group of people who were relatively peaceful in the former Qi State. With the support of officials and nobles, a simple governance team with reasonable composition was initially formed.

Xiao He from Jingxian County in the south also got up and came here after Li Mu's army entered Shu, but he did not stop. Instead, he led a group of carefully selected civil servants to follow the army of King Qi in the middle, responsible for the newly captured troops. The city will be seized.

The important reason why Licheng is important is that it is very special. It is too close to Daze Mountain, and its only owner can only be Lu Wei himself, who is also known as the King of Qi and the Chief of Heroes.

Recruits recruited from Qidi will gather here and then be deployed to different front lines.

Due to the dense concentration of military camps, groups of firelights in the direction of Licheng can be seen from the top of the highest peak of Daze Mountain.

"Mother, those lights are also stars."

Lu Qian is 14 years old this year. He is a young man with red lips and white teeth who grew up in Daze Mountain, which is always considered to be just a gathering place for farmers. He looks no different from those aristocratic sons who are well-dressed and well-fed.

Of course, he is also a noble now. He is the eldest son of His Royal Highness the King of Qi. After the restoration of Qi, countless people have their eyes on A Qian: This is an unavoidable necessity, but the eldest son of the king who has never endured hardship since childhood was Mother Luna is very protective.

Luna looked at the delicate face of the child in gorgeous clothes, and the uncontrollable joy in her heart caused a smile to appear on her lips: "Then what do you think is the difference between them and the stars in the sky?"

"The stars in the sky are illusory, and they are the supreme truth that our Yin Yang family pursues." A Qian answered his mother's question with clear eyes, and his tone was particularly serious: "And those stars on the ground are all real, and they are what my father has already held in his hands. The 'truth' in it."

"Mother, am I right?"

"Don't ask me, the 'self' of Onmyoji requires you to find the final answer to any question from your own 'stars'." Moon God looked calm, shook his head at A Qian's question and said, "What will you do in the future? Becoming the greatest 'Eastern Emperor' in the history of the Onmyoji family will continue to pursue the highest realm of Onmyoji."

"Now that you have learned the basics of the Five Elements of Onmyoji, you can follow your heart on the next journey."

"Eastern Emperor?" A Qian was slightly distracted, chanting this title, and the Yin and Yang skills in his body began to operate unconsciously, and a golden light appeared from the palm of his hand.

"That's right." Moon God emphasized: "This is your new name in the Yin and Yang family. It will accompany you forever, until death."

"It was snatched for you by your father, and it is the only noble identity I have cultivated for you!"
