Country and Beauty

Xie Fei opened the cabin door and saw a guard standing there. The soldier immediately bowed towards Xie Fei: "Greetings, Duke of Qin."

"You don't need to be so courteous." Xie Fei raised his hand and indicated his direction. The soldier immediately took out a bronze tube from his chest pocket. Xie Fei unsealed the tube and took out a palm-sized roll of paper. The Jinyang s of the two prefectures were besieged by the sixty thousand strong army of Guo Jing, Peach Blossom Shi Le and more than ten other members of the army under Shi Le's command. Liu Kun and the patriarch of the thorny history Palace, Shi Hong had surrendered to Shi Le. Jinyang is in danger. "

Liu Kun was a thorny history and had been in charge of military affairs since the departure of the East Ocean Company's Mateng. Although he had a certain reputation and influence, his power was limited. Taking advantage of the fact that he was greatly defeated by the Murong Clan and the lack of military power in the Youzhou, Shi Le took advantage of the fact that he was out of nowhere to obtain the Youzhou, then the Xiang Kingdom of Jizhou, and then the Ye City. His base in Hebei was becoming more and more stable, and his power was growing rapidly. It had to be said that Shi Le was someone who was good at learning. However, Shi Le was not discouraged, but instead, he saw an unusual side of Xie Fei who was good at using the power of the citizens. Using Zhang Bin's plan, in the regions of Youzhou, Jizhou, and Pingzhou, Shi Le carried out all kinds of methods to pacify the hearts of the citizens, although Shi Le's plan of clearing the fields and farming the land was too inexperienced for him, the people of the three lands still had to follow him. At this time, Shi Le had the You and Ji provinces, as well as the Central Clouds, Yanmen, and other side counties.

Just as Xie Fei was working hard with all his effort, whether it was in terms of government, military, or business, all of them achieving unprecedented results, at this moment, Shi Le was in a predicament. Although Shi Le had a lot of territory now, he did not have much of a background. The people and the army were unable to keep their calm.

Since Xie Fei's history of arrival had also happened ahead of time, in December 311 AD, due to the fact that there were one hundred and twenty-nine people, including Shi Hu, Zhang Jing, Zhang Bin, Qu Liu, and Cheng Zhao, who joined together to form a team of one hundred and twenty-nine people, including Shi Hu, Zhang Jing, Zhang Bin, Qu Liu, and Liu Bei, the former emperor of Zhao, Guangping, Yang Ping, Bo Hai, and other eleven counties, including Henan, Wei County, Qi County, and the other thirteen counties, including Zhao, Yang Ping, and Bo Hai. Shi Le accepted the suggestion, which was to be known as King Zhao, to be known as Zhao Wang Yuan Nian, and to use the Xiang as the capital. Since Han Qing Liu Yao had previously changed his country's name to Zhao, he was known as the former Zhao; therefore, he was referred to as the latter.

Because Shi Le had just ascended to the throne, but every year was unfavorable for his, occupying most of the territory. In the August of 312, Zhang Jing, Zhang Bin, Cheng Zong and other officials, Shi Hu, Guo Ao, Liu Zheng, Liu Bao, Zhang Gui and servant, Huyan Mo, Guo Heluo, Zhang Yue, Kong Gui, Zhao Lu, Qi Qu, and more than a hundred other civil and military officials had gathered together. Shi Le's expression changed, he did not say a word, and everyone immediately quietened down, just that the air was filled with a depressing atmosphere. Shi Le paced back and forth in the hall, the general stood quietly on both sides, his gaze following Shi Le's movements.

Shi Le suddenly stopped in his tracks and asked: "My dear sirs, even if we did not say it, everyone would still understand that the situation in our country is grim and we cannot be optimistic about it. For the time being, what should we do to get out of this predicament?"

When Shi Hu heard Shi Le's words, she immediately stood out and said, "Is this not easy to deal with? But now that my Great Zhao has two hundred thousand soldiers, I would like to ask who in the world can resist, today's natural disaster is not scary, if worse comes to worst, I will lead my troops to the battlefield and march towards the south to destroy Jin State, fighting to the sides and snatching them away, naturally we can get past the crisis before us! "

When the officers heard this, they were naturally overjoyed. However, when they heard this, they rolled their eyes and said, "Barbarian man!" Ignorant! Not to mention how many soldiers and horses there were in the country of Zhao, how many men and horses could there be in the world who could not fight against the two hundred thousand men? The answer was no. Thinking about how Great Qin had used one hundred and thirty thousand soldiers and horses to attack the Western Regions, the tens of countries in the Western Regions only had a total of six hundred thousand soldiers to resist for a little more than four months before it vanished like smoke in thin air. The Qin Army ignored his tired master and raided him on his way back. Cheng Guo, which had been established for almost ten years, fell in one night. The difference between them could be imagined. Of course, because Shi Hu was one of Shi Le's trusted aides, a nephew wouldn't say what was on their mind.

Shi Le frowned, and turned to Zhang Bin and asked: "Meng Sun, what do you think!"

Zhang Bin pondered for a moment, "So far, attacking and robbing resources are the only way to overcome the crisis, but we can't attack the Jin State?"

Shi Le was shocked: "Why is that?"

Zhang Bin said: "Your Majesty is enlightened! The current Jin State was different from the past. After Xie Fei was bestowed the title of Duke of Qin, and established the Qin State in the Qin Province, the three hundred thousand soldiers of the Azure Province were brought by Xie Fei to the one hundred and fifty thousand people of the Qin Province. The remaining one hundred and fifty thousand people were left to Sima Chi. Not to mention the fact that the Luoyang City is strong and sturdy, just the one hundred and fifty thousand men from the Cyan Plains Army is enough to cause me, Zhao Jun, to be severely injured, and may even be able to give Liu Can or Murong Murong, a chance to take advantage of it. "(TL: UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU)

In truth, Shi Le was also inclined to agree with Shi Hu, that Shi Le was the emperor who started out as a bandit, and robbing and robbing homes was his usual practice, but it was not easy for these rivers and mountains to come, and Shi Le did not want the river and mountains that he had worked hard for half his life to fall into someone else's hands. Shi Le asked with a helpless expression: "But right now, the citizens' harvest is only fifty percent of what it used to be, and even if we reduce the citizens' rations, it should only be enough to last until March next year. What should we do?"

Zhang Bin slightly smiled and said: "Actually, robbery is very feasible, but the target has to change."

"Oh!" After Shi Le heard this, he became interested. Hearing Zhang Bin's clever plan.

Zhang Bin said: "Although there are over a hundred thousand warriors in Jin State, and over a hundred thousand Huns in Liu Can, and they are much weaker than us, although they are weaker, but there is a saying that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, so they cannot be compared to us, the State of Zhao. Making enemies out of these three factions is purely making things difficult for others. "

Shi Le was secretly shocked, and said secretly: "Could it be that they are going to attack Qin State?

This is playing with fire! "

Seeing Shi Le's expression, Zhang Bin could guess what he was thinking about. Smiling slightly, he said, "How did Your Majesty forget that there is one more person in the north?"

"Mn." Shi Le did not understand.

Zhang Bin said: "Among all the zhuangzhuo's forces in the north, Liu Kun is the weakest, but Liu Kun also has his advantages. If Liu Kun was surrounded, at least Xie Fei would not care about it. If Sima Chi took care of himself, he would definitely not care about Liu Kun's life or death, but right now, Sima Chi has one hundred and fifty thousand troops in his hands, which is different. "

Shi Le finally understood the crux of the matter after Zhang Bin mentioned this point. Shi Le said: "Isn't this asking for a beating?"

Zhang Bin said: "In fact, if it was another way of looking at it, it would be much simpler."

"If Sima Chi is to save Liu Kun, he will send out the infantry, furthermore, they will not be able to reach there in a short time, so even if they send out some cavalrymen to cut off's food supply, Sima Chi will be defeated by them. Xie Fei has just occupied the Ba Shu grounds, so the army has to stay out of battle to recuperate. Even if they were to come to rescue Liu Kun, they should not have too many people on their side, furthermore, we have Liu Can to the west. If Xie Fei wants to save Liu Kun, he must pass by Liu Zhao's place. When two tigers fight, one must be injured. " After saying that, Zhang Bin no longer said anything.

Zhang Jing could also tell that Zhang Bin was trying to kill him using this as a pretext by attacking Jinyang. His real goal was not to fight to the death with the Qin State, but to drag the Qin State and eat Liu Zhao. Zhang Jing was suspicious: "Liu Zhao had just pacified Jin Zhun's chaos, his vitality was greatly injured, and his strength was far inferior than before, how dare he make the Qin State's army of tigers and wolves his enemy? If the Qin State were to reveal his intentions for coming here, and if Liu Can were to open up his own country and allow the Qin Army to transit through, how should we deal with him? "

Shi Le thought about it, and then looked at Zhang Bin with an inquiring look!

Zhang Bin laughed leisurely: "Liu Zhao has many chess pieces, so we can use them to speak to Liu Can now and have them do so. Xie Fei is plotting to take their territory, so Liu Can will not let him go, even if Liu Can does not want to compromise, we will force them to start a war with the Qin State. Sending a large number of spies and spies to raise the banner of the Qin Army within Liu Zhao territory, looting the tribes within the Huns, stealing their horses, rations, money, and women. This way, it would be able to rouse the spirit of the Huns, and even if they knew that they would not be able to defeat the elites of the Qin Army, they would still attack the Qin Army. They could also disguise themselves as Huns to launch an attack on Qin Army. As long as they saw blood, they could have a feud between the two sides and it would not end until one of them was dead. Although Liu Zhao is weak, he would still cause some trouble for the Qin Army if he were to jump over a wall in desperation. "

At the same time, Shi Le began to lay out his plans. First, they took over the upper echelons of the Acropolis Province like a bolt of lightning, then they used their cavalry to raid Yanmen Pass, and completely surrounded the Jinyang City. Seeing that the enemy was strong, Liu Kun asked Sima Chi and Xie Fei for help first. Although Sima Chi had sent out his great general Gou Xi, Gou Xi …

Not only did the 25,000 strong army lose out to Zhang Bin in an attempt to lure the enemy in, he himself had also become Shi Le's captive.

Xie Fei who was training in the navy at Qing Hai Lake would never have thought that his opponent, Shi Le, would actually play a trick and bring an opponent over. The intelligence agents of the brocade that were located in the Wanzhou Region could not figure out the actual situation. Xie Fei made a wrong judgement and thought that Shi Le was ambitious for the Jinyang. Liu Kun's letter of rescue had yet to reach Qin State, but Xie Fei already knew that Jinyang was surrounded.

At that time, Liu Kun and Zu Ti went from the south to the north, and they were the unyielding big flags of both sides in China. Liu Kun was too loyal to Sima Chi. In fact, if this continued, there would be a day when Liu Kun would be reunited with his weapon, and even if this relationship was disregarded, as a descendant, Xie Fei would not use the enemies' power to get rid of his political enemies. was simply too loyal to Sima Chi. Moreover, the Zu Ti under his command and Lu Zhan were Liu Kun's close friends, if he did not save Liu Kun, his subordinates would feel a chill in their hearts.

Thinking up to this point, Xie Fei was no longer able to train the navy in the Qing Hai Lake. Xie Fei called the navy commander, Zhou Ming, over and asked him to train the navy his own way. Xie Fei then returned to the capital with the other consorts.

On the main road of Shanghai State City, three thousand imperial guards were surrounding Xie Fei's carriage as they drove past. The pedestrians on the street quickly moved out of the way. Those who tried to avoid it all had looks of respect on their faces. The person he respected was Xie Fei, the master of the Qin State, the person who made the Qin State rich.

He did not know if it was because the journey was too long of a travel, but Zhuge Mingyue's appetite was a little bad. Princess Sima, one of the princesses, was the weakest and vomited her bile. When Xie Fei asked this question, the two girls' faces and ears flushed red, feeling incomparably bashful. But Woman Wan, Yang Susu, and Shui Ruyan all burst out laughing.

It was still Luo Yi Yuan who was the weirdest. Although she was an expensive consort, she still had a childish mind. A gust of fragrant wind came over and wrapped around Xie Fei's arm, laughing: "Isn't it all because of you?"

Xie Fei did not even think about it, he rubbed the back of his head and laughed awkwardly: "I already said that I won't let you guys go to Xining, now you guys are blaming me."

Luo Yi rolled his eyes and said, "If it wasn't for you doing bad things all day, would Big Sister Mingyue and Little Sister Shu'er be pregnant?"

"Pregnant?" Xie Fei was stupefied for a moment. His gaze turned to Zhuge Mingyue as he asked ecstatically: "Really?"

Zhuge Mingyue felt her husband's burning desire as boundless love and pride welled up within her. She slightly nodded and said, "Mn, I understand medicine a little, I just diagnosed the pulse of little sister Shu."

Sima Shu looked at Xie Fei and said softly, "It just happens to be a month."

In the past, in the twenty-first century, he did not really care about whether a child existed or not. Only when a lover became pregnant did he gradually have the responsibility and mentality to be a father, and a kind of fatherly love was sublimated in his heart, stimulated. But now, it was different.

Xie Fei took a big step forward, and when he reached in front of Zhuge Mingyue, he slowed down instead. He squatted down lightly, grabbed her snowy arm with his right hand, and said gently: "Queen, you've worked hard." Xie Fei turned and embraced Sima Shu, then said to him: "It's been hard on you, me. After a long time, Xie Fei was so excited that he didn't say anything.

Zhuge Mingyue laughed, "Look at what you're saying, it's about marching to war again. What's there to be tired about, to be able to bear the dragon's womb and bear the son of the Lord, Brightmoon, you have no time to be happy about it."

The next day, Xie Fei wanted to gather all the officials to discuss his plan of saving the Qin State. At this time, a guard passed on a report outside the door. "Institute of Martial Studies's Deacon Guo Song requests an audience!"

"Guo Song!" Xie Fei didn't know how to react at first, but suddenly he remembered that when he was leaving for Xining, Xie Fei wrote out the best paper manufacturing technology in his memory, as well as printing techniques, and gave them all to the deacon of the Weapon Research Institute, Guo Song.

Xie Fei was no longer able to discuss about sending out his troops, and directly gave the order for the imperial bodyguards to deliver the orders. Giving orders to the Great General Zu Ti, the Eastern General Chen An, the Guard General Ran Zhan, fifty thousand soldiers and horses, as well as their supplies and supplies, to prepare for battle.

Xie Fei followed Guo Song to a large courtyard under the Institute of Martial Studies, and after making two turns, they arrived in front of a large house that took up ten thousand square meters. What made this house unusual was that it was heavily guarded. There were more than ten groups of scouts, a total of close to a thousand elite Qin Army elites. Their defensive capabilities were not the slightest bit weaker than the artillery research and development institute of the Divine Weapon Hall.

In the system of Chinese civilization, printing was undoubtedly a very important part, it was even known as one of the four great inventions …

But in reality? The exact time of appearance of printing is roughly at the intersection of Sui and Tang dynasties, and there are two stages of development: engraving printing and movable type printing. From engraving printing to movable type printing, there has been six hundred years, and then gradually developed until maturity.

There were dozens of craftsmen in the room, as well as a few movable type printers. The craftsmen placed the alphabet in a wooden frame that had been arranged for a long time and covered it with ink. The ink on the newly opened page was still wet. You need to bask in the sun outside before you can print the other side. The process was complicated and boring. This was a book. Flipping through the books, Xie Fei was unable to control his excitement. This was nothing in the future generation, when he was in Sui Tang, there were already these types of books, and the quality was even better than this.

Now, the first book to be published in Qin State had been published. It had only been a quarter of an hour. Adding to the time spent drying and binding a book, it had only been a quarter of an hour.

Guo Song said, "The cost of this book is only five big coins. Five big coins can only buy a single steamed bun, and lots of books appear, and the price is also very low." It could be imagined how the world's scholars would flock to this place. The promotion of a large number of cheap books is naturally a great thing. "

Xie Fei said: "One < Classic of Virtue > is nothing, now that printing technique has been invented, Guo Aiqing cannot let go of her guard. This king will turn all the books in the entire world into books, one single copy, one set, all in all, so that everyone in the world can read and not forget about it. This king has ordered you to serve as a overseer and serve six hundred stones. Specialize in R & D, printing into a book. "At this time, we have to expand without restraint. I can see that the east side of the academy only has ten acres of land, so we should extend it by another eight hundred mu. At the very least, the cost of making the books should be reduced to less than three large coins."

Xie Fei checked them one by one. closed the book after reading it, and took a deep breath. Only then did he turn to Guo Song and said, "It will be published day and night."

Guo Song said, "It's the prince!"

Xie Fei said: "Life King Meng, Xie Kun, Lu Zhan, Pei Xian, Pang Ze, many of Qin State Academy's Scholars, and all of the higher ups from the second stage to see you!"

"Yes sir!" The guard said.

Xie Fei continued: "Find someone and bring these books over to the carriage, we will return to the palace."
