Country and Beauty

"Then help me rub my back." Xie Fei chuckled.

"You wish!" Ming Zhu said with a red face.

Xie Fei strongly restrained the thought of peeping, and while bickering, he wiped off the water droplets on his forehead and walked up to the riverside. Under the sunlight, he put on his shorts and a long robe.

Ming Zhu was the number one beauty in the Caulis Amaryllis Tribe, born with a love of beauty, but did not eat meat. She only ate light vegetables and sometimes only ate the flower buds that grew naturally on the grass. The sound of water splashing could be heard, and there were faint sounds of girls singing. It was a pity that they were singing in the Caulis Amaryllis language, so Xie Fei did not hear a single thing.

After the disaster, the most important thing to do was to return to the Upper State, strengthen the once again, expand the military, expand the troops, open up the people's intelligence, and make the Qin State stronger. It would help build a good foundation for the war, after all, once war broke out, the food supplies that would be used as the vanguard, would be extremely huge. If the national treasury was empty, even if the citizens were displaced, it would be difficult for them to stand up, so there was no need to discuss about fighting for the world. In fact, even if Xie Fei fought his way down to become a Empire, it would not be a good thing. There would definitely be many foreign races in Ba Shu, with their valiant folk customs and beliefs, and Xie Fei did not have any outstanding civil officials to govern Ba Shu.

"What are you doing?" Ming Zhu's soft voice sounded from his side, following which a faint fragrance floated over.

Only then did Xie Fei regain his senses, and turned to look, and with just a glance, he was stunned.

Her bright red cherry lips seemed to be pink like a budding bud, and her cheeks were slightly flushed. Just like a beautiful rose, her light blue eyes seemed to flutter along with the color of water, as if it could suck a person in. Her black hair was still stained with undried water, and gently cascaded down like a shining waterfall. The unique scent of the grassland on her body drifted past. Under the setting sun, Ming Zhu was dressed in a goose-yellow Hu dress. The hem of the dress brushed against her pure white ankles, drawing a curve in her curvy figure. In the midst of beauty, there was a tinge of toughness. It was pure and flawless. It was clean and unparalleled, just like a goddess. It was light and elegant, and seemed to be devoid of worldly desires.

The moment Xie Fei turned his head, Ming Zhu was also stunned by his appearance. Although Xie Fei was not handsome, but because of the power he had shown for a long time, his brows revealed the might of a ruler.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" With her head tilted, she caressed Xiu's moist face, letting the transparent droplets of water fall on the ground. Under Xie Fei's gaze, her face revealed a few blush.

Xie Fei felt that not only was she beautiful, her voice was even like the sound of nature. After hearing her voice and looking at her appearance, he did not think about the wars and bad things that happened in the world.

"What are you looking at? You're so annoying!" The pearl was being stared at by him without blinking. It was a bit unnatural as it stared at him with a rebuking gaze. It was clearly angry, but there was an indescribable feeling mixed in with joy, an indescribable gentleness.

It was just like when a man looked at a beautiful woman when he was shopping. He couldn't help but to turn around and glare at her, causing her to look at him with a disdainful look. In fact, she was actually happy inside, but if he turned a blind eye to it, she would curse him even more in her heart, thinking that he didn't understand or appreciate her.

A woman was born for a man to see. It was just that different people would see different parts of her body.

Xie Fei was an experienced hand in flowers, he woke up very quickly and praised, "You are so beautiful!"

Ming Zhu was secretly pleased with herself. She glanced at him with her beautiful eyes before chuckling, "When you weren't slovenly, you had the appearance of a young hero!"

Xie Fei felt it was funny. Talking with this Caulis Amaryllis girl was quite satisfying, at least they just needed to chat for a bit before all the worries and sorrows were gone.

"It's still early, come and sit for a moment. We'll leave later!" Xie Fei patted the rocks beside him.

Ming Zhu did not object. Her silky, long, silky skirt fluttered in the wind as she gracefully walked to the front and stuck close to the surface of the stone next to him. She was about to sit down.

"Wait!" Xie Fei suddenly called out to her.

"Hmm? "What?" Ming Zhu was stunned, her eyes staring at him in confusion as she asked.

Xie Fei used the sleeves of his robe to wipe the dust off the surface of the stone, and laughed: "Now you can sit!"

She wanted to tease him, but for some reason, her heart was inexplicably grabbed by a big, invisible hand. Sometimes, a mountain of gold and silver could not be exchanged for a smile from a beauty, but often, a single detail would be enough to move her for a lifetime.

The army had passed through a mountain range and arrived at a large canyon. Between the canyon was a city wall and a fortress, which prevented the defending troops to defend it. The Qin Army's elites used the wind camp to launch a surprise attack and the cannons attacked, and in less than a quarter of an hour, most of the defending troops had been annihilated, and a small portion had surrendered.

After that, the great army entered Shu Guan City and stayed there for half a day. Xie Fei ordered the young leader of the brocade, Wang Lei, to temporarily lead the troops to Shu Guan City and defend it. As there were many ethnic minorities in the Ba Shu, most of them were half barbarians in the Wilderness. The tribes were not uniform, and the tribes in the west, Yi, Qiang, Miao, u, Naxi, Bu Yi, Tai and more than a dozen other tribes and tribes were scattered, so they had to treat all the ethnic groups equally and welcome the local people to join the Qin State Han Family. However, they had to append their identities and pay particular attention to virtue and talent, etc., and after everything was settled, the army left the Da Shu Pass, continuing to move towards Ganluo and Han Yuan.

The Ganluo City belonged to the area where Yi, Miao, Ru, and Naxi intersected. It was not a big city, but it was very lively. Various types of minority decorations were scattered across the streets, making it especially bright. The streets were filled with all kinds of ethnic characteristics, and the handicrafts such as silk, silk, cooking salt, gold, silver, and lacquer were also very developed.

The army of over forty thousand Qin Army arrived at the Ganluo City. Because the city of Ganluo City was inhabited by a large number of Yi Clan people, Xie Fei did not allow his troops to attack them. Instead, he stationed her army outside the city, leading a few generals into the city. The chieftains of the Qin Army and Yi nationalities communicate with each other in a friendly manner, so that they can commit no offense against the Yi people. Xie Fei told the troops to use over a thousand horizontal knives and the Yi people to exchange for ten thousand buckets of food. The next day, the army continued on their way, advancing towards Han Yuan and the Emei Mountain. The great army passed through Hanyuan County, passing through the foot of the Emei Mountains, which were situated between the Dadu River and the Qingyi River. The mountains were magnificent, the valleys were clear, the waterfall was like a curtain, the sea of clouds roiled, the forest was lush and verdant.

The Emei Mountain consisted of four huge mountains, namely the two, the two, the three and the four. The Emei Mountain was the main peak of the Emei Mountain, which was generally referred to as the Emei Mountain. The Emei Mountain consisted of two, the two, and the Emei Mountain consisted of four large, the two.

The Emei Mountain was famous for its fog, which was surrounded by clouds and mist all year round. The rain fell like a heavy rain, filling the mist and clouds in the mountain, with a variety of methods that were known as "one mountain has four seasons, ten miles for different days". The army walked between the mountains, feeling the majesty and elegance of the Emei Mountain as they looked up at the golden peak of the Emei Mountain.

"Such a beautiful mountain!" Ming Zhu had lived in the Caulis Amaryllis Castle for a long time and was currently in the bitter cold of the Kunlun Mountains.

Xie Fei smiled and said: "When the world is at peace and quiet in the future, I will bring you up the mountain and stand in front of the golden peak of Emei. The four beautiful scenery of sunrise, sea of clouds, buddhist light and sunset are truly pleasing to the eyes. At the top of the Emei, there will be a "look at the mountains" sigh.

"You've been here?" Ming Zhu asked in surprise.

Xie Fei laughed blandly: "Of course, I have been to many places. They are not related to cold places, and I know of the vastness of the heaven and earth, although I am young, I am from different regions of the Central Plains and a few tribes, the Great Desert Grassland, the Eastern Hu Country, the Western Regions, the Fusang of the Glazed Ball, and the Gao Li Sea Island."

Ming Zhu snorted disdainfully, thinking to herself, "How old are you, how could you possibly have gone to so many remote places and brazenly boasted about it?" It had to be said that the places Xie Fei had mentioned were not just over ten thousand miles, but Ming Zhu never would have thought that a thousand years later, humans would have cars, trains, and planes traveling over a thousand miles.

Five days later, the army of more than forty thousand Qin State arrived in the capital of the Ba Shu Country, Chengdu. In Bamboo County, thirty miles away.

Chengdu has a long history, with "Heavenly Province", "Sichuan Jiangnan", "Sichuan Suhang" of the name. According to historical records, the capital city was moved to Chengdu and built around the middle of the 5th century BC, when the Ming Dynasty in the ancient country of Kai Ming moved from the city of Fan (now Shuangliu County). As for the origin of one person in Chengdu, according to the records of Taiping Ringyu, it was borrowed from the history of the western Zhou Dynasty when the capital was built, and was named Chengdu because of the "one year, two years, and three years since Wang Qiqi was reunited." It was founded in 256 BC, and has been a very profitable Dujiangyan water conservancy project for more than 2,000 years; in 61 BC, when gas was extracted from deep wells in Linyun for salt, cooking, and lighting; Chengdu's brocade, also known as brocade, was the world's first silk brocade, while the East Han (25-220 AD) was the world's most advanced loom; in Han (202-220 AD), Chengdu became the world's centre of lacquer crafts and the birthplace of tea culture; in the Tang Dynasty, when the world was first invented and used for printing, the Bian Tawnis, Chengdu, Fan, and Song Dynasty were among the earliest surviving world's "businesses" (10-126 AD).

That night, as Da Cheng Kingdom's Imperial Palace, Li Xiong, was in a deep slumber, suddenly heard a burst of noise. He suddenly felt unwell, so he got up and walked out of the palace. Li Xiong was displeased: "What is it?"

"Your majesty, your majesty …" "A small academy appeared in front of Li Xiong, covered in dust. Something terrible has happened, something bad has happened! "

Li Xiong's heart thumped, and he hurriedly asked: "What are you panicking for?"

"Qin Army, Qin Army!"

"What happened to Qin Army?" Li Xiong's face became deathly white. A bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart as he nervously asked the little academy.

"Qin Army has arrived at Bamboo County, it will only take half a day to reach the city!" The school stammered.

"What?" Li Xiong felt a hum in his head, "How did Jia Meng Guan get lost?"

In ancient times, if you went from Chengdu to Changan (Xi'an), you had to go from Zhaohua west gate to Zhaohua east gate and from Changan to Chengdu east gate to west gate. Therefore, Zhahua ancient city was an important pass connecting Ba Shu to the Central Plains. Before Zhahua city was established, the road leading to Chengdu and Changan was formed, which meant that there was a road first and then a city. Before Zhaohua city was built, there was a pass called "Jia Meng Guan". After the city was built, 'Jia Meng Guan' still existed. It was located at the west gate of Zhao Hua Ancient City, which was' Lin Qing Sect '. Moreover, the name had not changed, so Lin Qing Sect was the west gate of the ancient city. In 316 B.C.), due to a feud between the King of Ba and the King of Shu, King Huiwen took the opportunity to send Zhang Yizhi, who was fighting against Shu at the wrong time. The Qin Army travelled from the southwest of Xianxi Province to the southwest of China, passing through the Seven Pans and entering Sichuan. They passed through the gates of heaven before going through the gates of the sword and fought a fierce battle at the Jia Meng Pass. According to legend, King Huiwen was worried that there was no path to Shu, so he ordered people to do it for him. He said that he deceived the King of Shu and sent five mighty warriors to open up a path for him. People called it the Taurus Taoist, also known as the Stone Ox Taoist. Jia Meng Pass was one of the passes on this ancient road.

Although Li Xiong did not have any foresight and thought that he would lose the war against Qin, in order to prevent the Qin State from retaliating against him, he still had to gather 30,000 of his best elites on the road to Shu, where he would be led by his third son, Li Shou. Li Shou would pay respects to the former general, lead the Brazilian army, move to the east general, move to the great general, the great governor, and then move to the palace.

"The Qin Army did not take down Jia Meng Pass. Rumor has it that they came from the Sea of Death."

"Sea of Death" is the general name the Bashu call the grassland swamp, they think it is impossible to go there. Ba Shu's location was excellent, it was easy to defend but hard to attack. As long as there were sufficient provisions, it wouldn't be a problem to stay at Jia Meng Pass for three to five years. However, the grass swamp that Li Xiong relied on as a natural barrier was easily traversed by the Qin Army, causing a kind of sadness to suddenly rise in Li Xiong's heart.

Li Xiong had conscripted the Qin State and deployed most of his troops. Other than Li Qi's army of a hundred thousand, there was still Jia Meng's thirty thousand troops, with ten thousand in the catalpa and kang respectively. The only ones left were the Chengdu garrison. Chengdu City was big with only ten thousand guards and eight thousand guards. The four defensive divisions were scattered, and they were slightly lacking in strength.

Li Xiong did not dare hesitate anymore and immediately gave the order for Jia Meng Guan, Li Qu and Lang Zhong to send a total of fifty thousand troops back to the capital immediately.

"Your majesty, you absolutely cannot!" One person stood out and stopped Li Xiong. This person was about the age of a man in a flowery robe. He had a ruddy complexion and was in high spirits. It was Prime Minister Cheng, Fan Changsheng, who had come upon hearing the news. Fan Changsheng continued, "If Your Majesty withdraws your troops in a hurry, there will be no more barriers outside Chengdu. The bandits will definitely take advantage of this situation to kill them. At that time, it will be very difficult to preserve the entire Da Cheng Kingdom. "

Although Li Xiong knew what Fan Changsheng said was reasonable, Chengdu was on the verge of death, so he had to make a decision as soon as possible.

Li Xiong's eyes reddened, and he pulled Fan Changsheng's hand: "Prime minister, what plan do you have?"

Fan Changsheng said: "With such a calamity, the people will be the ones to suffer. Right now, this is the only way to negotiate. As long as Your Majesty is willing, this subject is willing to withdraw from Qin Army.
