For most of the slaves and people of the Maurya Dynasty, this battle did not notice any changes. After all, the territory attacked by the Qin army was only a small part of the entire Maurya Dynasty.

But for the ruling class concentrated there in the Mauryan Dynasty, this was nothing less than a nuclear bomb strike.

The core cities of the Maurya Dynasty, such as Nalanda and Huasheng City, used to be beautiful and decaying cities filled with all kinds of desires, but now they have all been reduced to ruins, with vultures and maggots everywhere, eating corpses on the ground.

Especially the Imperial Palace in the core area of ​​Huashi City was completely reduced to ruins.

Except for the remaining exquisite stone pillars, scattered jewelry and gold that still record the former glory, the rest has become no different from the slums, or even worse than the slums.

The surviving people and slaves of Huashi City were extremely afraid at first, fearing that these Qin people who had mastered the power of gods would massacre them all.

However, it turns out that the Qin army did not do this, but instead arranged for them well.

They were placed in a complete urban area, which was the slave area of ​​Fahrenheit City. In the past, this place was all the property of slave owners, but now those damn slave owners have either escaped or disappeared under gunfire, and this place has completely become a The land without an owner can definitely accommodate many people.

Before Zhang Liang ordered the artillery fire, he had specifically seen the map of Huashi City, and knew the general layout of the city through the Mauryan prisoners who followed him.

So during the bombing, he deliberately avoided this place. The artillery fire was mainly concentrated on the city wall, the Imperial Palace and several other places where the Mauryan nobles gathered.

The surviving people and slaves of Huashi City not only were not tortured, but also received houses, and no longer had the Kshatriyas and Brahmins who oppressed them.

Even the Qin army only took away a small part of the wealth in the imperial palace, leaving most of the rest for them to rebuild the city.

In exchange, Great Qin only asked them to swear allegiance from now on and build a Zhenxi Protectorate on the basis of the original imperial palace as Great Qin's base in the Maurya Dynasty.

From now on, Great Qin will station troops here for a long time and manage the spice trade. In addition, other government rights will be returned to the people of Huashi City, and will be inherited by the new king selected by many people.

When they first heard the news, many people in the Mauryan Dynasty almost thought they were hearing hallucinations in their ears!

Even they understood that the new Peacock King was most likely manipulated by Great Qin. It was said that he wanted them to elect, but in fact it was just a process.

However, even so, Da Qin's generosity was something they would never forget.

The Mauryan Dynasty was the largest slave state in South Asia. Before its rise, this land was dominated by feudal slave dynasties.

At that time, the Mauryan Dynasty sent troops everywhere to conquer them one by one and destroy the country!

As a citizen of a conquered country, those with high status could still become nobles or common people of the Maurya Dynasty.

But those with low status were almost all reduced to slaves and lived a life inferior to that of pigs and dogs.

They are like this, and so will their descendants for generations to come. There is no possibility of turning over!

Before today, they had never thought that there was a dynasty that conquered another country and treated the people of that country not as slaves, but as their own people.

"Army of God! You are God's savior army!"

"Woooooo~"

"If we had known this would happen, we should have taken the initiative to open the door to welcome the divine army!"

The people and slaves of Huashi City were all in a crowd, and they all knelt down to thank Great Qin for its kindness.

Zhang Liang, Xiang Yu and others were very pleased after seeing this. This was the effect they wanted.

Only by regaining all the people's hearts here can they completely transform this place into the spice production center of Great Qin.

The Great Qin army briefly stationed in Huashi City for a month. After handling most of the matters, they left a partial army of two thousand, and the rest began to return to the court.

Along the way, everyone was in high spirits, imagining what rewards His Majesty would give them after arriving in Lingnan County.

They went on an expedition for more than half a year and traveled thousands of miles to attack the Maurya Dynasty. Isn't this what they wanted to achieve?

And now, it's close at hand.

"Not only that, this is also a good opportunity for Cui Yuan to prove our strength!"

Ye Teng is already in his sixties, and he is already in his 60s when he knows his destiny. People his age are now starting to fail to do what they want.

But he is still very energetic, especially when he talks about this, his eyes light up.

"Xiao Li, there are still two hours to go to the Lingnan Palace. I will show you what the strength of a veteran is in a moment!"

Although a long time has passed, Ye Teng still has not forgotten this matter. He wants to take Wang Li away and slap Cui Yuan in the face hard to help him break his inner demons!

Wang Li was also a little moved. He didn't have any bad intentions, but he felt that it would be a good thing if he could pretend to be in front of Cui Yuan.

Wang Bi was very supportive, and Xiang Yu also expressed interest after learning about it, but Zhang Liang was still the only one who said nothing.

"Zhang Liang, why don't you say anything every time I talk about this matter?"

Ye Teng looked at Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang knew that he could no longer pretend not to see it, so he had to say frankly: "Senior, it's not that I don't speak, but I think this matter is a bit nonsense."

"Senior, you are quite old, and you have made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty. My hometown, South Korea, was destroyed by the army led by senior."

"Now that I want to get angry with Cui Shenxian, it's a bit of a petty loss."

Zhang Liang actually admired Ye Teng very much. It was he who led the Qin army to conquer South Korea with his extraordinary military strategy.

Now that I see that he has been seeking death like this, I really don't know what to say.

"Humph!"

Ye Teng frowned, his tone slightly dissatisfied: "Zhang Liang, do you mean what I did was wrong?"

Zhang Liang's mouth twitched and he didn't reply. Ye Teng also turned his head and stopped looking at Zhang Liang.

Obviously, Zhang Liang's persuasion not only had no effect, but also aroused Ye Teng's competitive spirit.

But it's not surprising. After all, most people think Ye Teng's words are reasonable.

Cui Yuan did come from the future and was nearly immortal, but it was impossible for him to have clairvoyance and see what he and others had done in the Maurya Dynasty!

Most people were excited and thought this was a good opportunity to embarrass Cui Yuan.

It’s not that they don’t respect Cui Yuan, it’s that there are too few opportunities like this and they must seize them!

Except for Zhang Liang, the group returned to the Lingnan Palace with excitement.

Ying Zheng and Cui Yuan, who had already received the news first, baptized the generals in front of the palace. Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma were watching, as well as Ying Yinman and Cui Manzai, who had just turned one year old. Come here.

In front of the clean Lingnan Palace, Ying Zheng personally collected water on a plate and washed away the dust for the returning soldiers. Cui Yuan was beside him to help pour water and wet towels.

Seeing the two most noble people in Da Qin like this, many soldiers had blurry tears in their eyes.

After Jie Feng washed away the dust, it was the Jie Feng Banquet. All the generals of the expeditionary force were there, attending the banquet with Ying Zheng and Cui Yuan.

The atmosphere of the banquet was very cheerful. In order to reward the many soldiers who had returned, Ying Zheng specially asked the chef to prepare a table of delicious food, and also summoned the best singers in Lingnan.

The atmosphere became more and more lively, and Ying Zheng also took the opportunity to ask about the specific process of this battle.

Almost at the same moment, Xiang Yu, Wang Bi, Wang Li and others all looked at Ye Teng. Ye Teng lived up to everyone's expectations and stood up, with an air of pride and pride on his face.

"Your Majesty, Cui Shenxian, we can say that we have perfectly accomplished your goal in this battle!"

"Now the entire Maurya Dynasty has completely surrendered to our Great Qin." Ye Teng said, and glanced at Cui Yuan with great dignity. Ying Zheng was no exception, and at the same time he looked at Cui Yuan meaningfully.

Cui Yuan: "..."

He could understand Ying Zheng's gaze. After all, the two still had a bet. Brother Zheng must have made up his mind now and wanted to open the champagne at halftime.

But what do you mean, Ye Teng, why are you looking at me?

Cui Yuan rolled his eyes in his heart, but he could only smile and say: "Oh~ So what did you do?"

"Cough cough!"

"Cui Shenxian, you must listen carefully!"

Seeing Cui Yuan take the bait, Ye Teng's eyes flashed with joy, and he began to tell the story of the battle in front of everyone.

Li Shimin, Liu Bang, Zhu Di, Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma were also at the banquet to celebrate Qin's victory.

When they first heard what Ye Teng had to say about the battle, they were very interested and looked curious.

But as Ye Teng gradually told them, their expressions quickly became weird, and in the end, Zhu Di couldn't help laughing.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Zhu Di smiled from ear to ear. Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang did not stop him, because they also covered their mouths and smiled at the corners of their eyes, and they could hardly hold back.

This is so much fun.

"What are you laughing at!?"

Ye Teng frowned and looked very unhappy.

He had never met Zhu Yuanzhang and others, and did not know their identities. He only knew that they were not among the nobles of Great Qin.

Is it any wonder that he came from the imperial examination?

Ye Teng guessed in his mind, and at the same time he became even more dissatisfied.

Even if you are Wenquxing and passed the imperial examination, I am also the Chehou of Qin Dynasty. It is too much for you to laugh at me like this!

He was angry and was about to complain to His Majesty and ask His Majesty to punish these people severely.

But when he looked at Ying Zheng, Ye Teng discovered something even more outrageous!

That was Ying Zheng's expression at this moment, which was similar to that of the three madmen who wanted to laugh at him.

He also had a helpless and weird expression that wanted to laugh, but could only endure it.

"Hey~ Hahaha!"

"It seems that I lost this bet after all."

Ying Zheng sighed first, and then laughed.

He fell in love with Cui Yuan, his eyes full of helplessness.

"I originally thought this was a rare opportunity for you to miscalculate, but now it seems that I have indeed overestimated them!"

"Tell me, Cui Yuan, what do you want me to do?"

Ye Teng: "?"

He was completely confused. What did your Majesty mean by this? He was obviously talking about the process of this battle just now, so why did the topic suddenly turn to Cui Yuan.

Still making a bet?

When did Your Majesty make a bet with Cui Shenxian?

"Hahaha, let me explain it to you!"

"The reason they are laughing at you is because what you said was actually said by Cui Yuan a few months ago."

"And he even made a bet with His Majesty at that time, on whether you would take a better approach."

"Cui Yuan bets you don't have it, and His Majesty bets you have it."

"Obviously, General Ye, you made His Majesty lose this bet."

Zhu Di considered himself a good person with a kind heart, so after seeing Ye Teng's confused expression, he suppressed a smile and stepped forward to explain.

In fact, it was okay if he didn't explain. Ye Teng, who didn't know anything, would only feel confused and confused.

But now after hearing the explanation, Ye Teng's eyes went black and he fell down on his back.

If there hadn't been a maid supporting him right next to him, he might have broken his face.

What a big trough!

Ye Teng really just wanted to die at this moment. He originally thought this was an opportunity to suppress Cui Yuan's majesty, but he didn't expect that the clown in the end would be himself!

The method that he and others had painstakingly discussed turned out to be perfectly anticipated by Cui Yuan a few months ago, and he also came up with a better way.

Fortunately, he was still full of confidence along the way and boasted to Wang Li, but now it seems like a pure joke.

After Xiang Yu, Wang Bi, Wang Li and others knew the truth, they all looked at Ye Teng with their eyes down and their noses at their hearts. They lowered their heads and ate the dishes in front of them silently, not daring to take another look at Ye Teng.

Only Zhang Liang showed an unexpected expression. Although he did not expect Cui Yuan to be able to guess all their plans, according to Zhang Liang's experience, anyone who goes against Cui Yuan will not have any problems. Good ending.

It can be said that during the Mauryan Dynasty, when Ye Teng was despised by Cui Yuan, his failure was already doomed.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Ying Zheng didn't pay attention to these minor incidents and continued to look at Cui Yuan.

Compared with Ye Teng's reaction, he was more concerned about the conditions for urging Yuan.

"Haha, is Your Majesty that anxious?"

"Originally, I wanted to ask His Majesty to dance for everyone, but I think it's impossible for His Majesty to agree."

As soon as Cui Yuan finished speaking, Ying Zheng's face turned dark.

You know that this bad guy has nothing good in his belly, but he still wants to dance by himself.

"So I changed the condition and asked Your Majesty to toast all the soldiers participating in this battle!"

Ying Zheng was slightly startled, and then he smiled sincerely.

"good!"

He stood up and slightly raised his wine glass towards everyone with precise movements.

Everyone would come back to their senses and respond one after another. Even Ye Teng, who had fainted, woke up at this moment!

"Dear dear friends, congratulations to me, Da Qin!"

"Congratulations!"
