Country and Beauty

The night wind was already cold, and even though it was just the beginning of winter, the temperature in Shang Guang had already dropped below zero. Just as night fell, the streets had already become deserted, the flourishing of the Shanghai State City was no longer there, and the dim yellow lanterns were weakly swaying back and forth. Other than a group of patrolling soldiers who occasionally did their duty, there were no more people on the streets. Suddenly, just as the sun was about to rise, the Upper State stopped quieting down.

The silence of the Upper State was broken by a group of knights holding lanterns. They stood at the front of the group. The lanterns had completely disappeared from their sight. The lanterns are a kind of lighting tool produced in China in the last century, the lanterns must have saddles. The saddle was an iron barrel frame with an oil dish at the bottom. The screw cover was completely closed, so the oil didn't leak out. There are two iron caps at the upper end, and there is a gap between the layers, which makes it easy for the air to escape. In the middle was a glass cover. And a wire handle. This type of lamp rarely stopped at the corner of the stove. Most of them roamed in the open air, forming a family of lanterns with the lamps covering the houses. One was outside the house, the other was inside. The lanterns were the great husbands within the lanterns.

Due to the role of Xie Fei, the otherworldly butterfly, the lanterns that were officially produced in the twentieth century actually appeared seventeen hundred years ago.

These knights had scythes hanging from their waists. Their eyes were like torches as they spurred their horses forward. Behind the knight was a four-horse carriage. This carriage was different from other carriages. It had two steering wheels in front of it and a shock absorber that clearly did not match this era. It was speeding towards the imperial palace.

Right now, practically all the officials in Qin State had a bus that delivered the goods to them, and this carriage was obviously made by a butterfly like Xie Fei. If it wasn't for the fact that there were no rubber trees in the area controlled by the Qin State, Xie Fei really wanted to dig out the rubber tyres.

Xie Kun who was sitting on the horse carriage suddenly shivered, his eyelids jumping nonstop. Without realizing it, the carriage had arrived outside the Qin Imperial Palace. Of course, even if it was Xie Kun himself, he would still not be able to enter the carriage directly. His expression was a little unnatural.

Xie Xing was usually with Xie Kun, and although Xie Xing was not a member of the Chen County Schell's, he was still Xie Kun's trusted aide. He saw through Xie Kun's worries, and immediately asked: "Master, what's wrong?"

Hearing Xie Xing's question, Xie Kun was stunned. He gently stroked his beard and shook his head: "It's nothing. Something is going to happen in Qin State. "

Xie Xing said, "Master, you are overthinking things. Didn't you always say that Master San is very powerful? Since it's so powerful, it must be fine. "

"I would like to rest assured …" Xie Kun said: "It's just that my heart has an inexplicable feeling of emptiness!"

Whether it was in terms of politics or military capabilities, Xie Fei was unrivalled. Xie Fei had been sending troops for more than three months, but he had not even sent over a single report. At the same time, Xie Kun started to worry for Xie Shang. Xie Kun immediately nodded, and said: "It's fine, you can go back and rest."

With that said, Xie Kun stepped into the Palace's Town Hall.

At the same time, in all directions of the Shanghai State City, many horse carriages were rushing towards the Imperial Palace. The silence of the Upper State was completely broken. The commoners on both sides of the street were awakened by the commotion. One or two carriages didn't matter, and several dozens of carriages headed for the imperial palace at the same time. He said it was to meet the morning assembly. Obviously, it was too early. The morning assembly still needed more than four hours. What was there to wait more than four hours for?

Xie Kun was about to enter the palace when a person wearing a purple robe and a crown on his head stepped down from the carriage, holding a white silk fan in hand. Xie Kun immediately cupped his fists and said: "So it's Lord Zhuge, nice to meet you inside."

Zhuge Xu slightly nodded, and returned the greeting, "Thank you for coming earlier!"

Xie Kun laughed bitterly.

Zhuge Xu cupped his hands towards Xie Kun and said, "Rest assured Sir, Great Qin is in your control!"

When Xie Kun and Zhuge Xu rushed to the Town Hall, there were already many people inside. After a moment, all six books and the assistant minister arrived.

Seeing that everyone was present, Wang Meng added, "Today we have gathered all of you here to pass on the Duke of Qin's orders. Everyone, take a look at this first! "

Saying that, Wang Meng passed Xie Fei's personally written secret order to all the ministers present.

The more the officials looked at him, the more serious their expressions became. Gradually, the hall started to emit a murderous aura.

Xie Fei's image surfaced in Xie Kun's mind. Third brother, you finally attacked. Xie Kun couldn't help but close his eyes and sigh continuously in his heart.

To be honest, Xie Kun did not have the ambition to meddle in the affairs of the land. However, when they saw that Sima Chi had actually secretly harmed Xie Fei, the honest men started to feel furious. Xie Fei was forced to do this, Sima Chi had been good to Xie Fei, but he had also been good to Sima Chi, and he did not know why, but he was now facing a deadly situation.

The ministers of the court all had different thoughts. Some liked to worry about others.

At this time, Wang Meng gave off an unprecedented pressure, and said word by word, "My fellow colleagues, carry out your duties, and respect the will of the Duke of Qin. If you do not obey, I will kill you all! "

Wang Meng continued, "Two years ago, the Duke of Qin established the Qin State, which went from a small land to a great country that spans twenty-six counties in four prefectures, with a population of ten million. Everyone is very clear on the amount of sweat and blood you have, and you are all very clear on the fact that all of the kingdoms in the Western Region were exchanged with the lives of thirty-nine thousand of our Qin State's warriors.

Although Xie Fei's plan was to unify the north, in reality, it was already a true rebellion. There were naturally many ambitious people in the Qin State who were unwilling to let go, and there were also some who were loyal to Sima Chi. In the end, how many people there were and how many thoughts they had couldn't be unified.

Just then, the Minister of Industry, Pang Ze said: "This matter is too rushed, all the elite troops of the Qin State have been transferred to the battlefield of Jizhou, the training time of our new army is too short, our fighting strength is low, if we fight with the army of the imperial government, we will definitely lose."

Wang Meng had yet to reply when the Military Department's Minister, Du Ceng, said: "If you can't beat him, you'll have to fight him. Even if you can't beat him, you'll have to drag him down with you. It's not like you have anything to do with the war. "

He, Pang Ze, could be considered to be one of them. Back then, in the Qu Yang, Meng En was the main representative and Pang Ze was the teacher of the Qu Yang School. Although Xie Fei was the principal in name, in reality, Pang Ze was the real main person in charge.

In the end, he and Du Ceng were really at odds. Hearing Du Ceng's words, he immediately refuted: "You were just making fun of the lives of your soldiers, this is murder!"

"Murder!" Du Ceng waved her fist, and shot Pang Ze a panda eye, "Go to hell and kill him! When I followed the Duke of Qin's formation to kill the enemy, where the hell were you?

Although Pang Ze was a scholar, he had the blood and bones of a martial artist. Besides, he had a bad temper. He would change the rocks in the latrine and they would be stinky and hard. He had a tough personality, and he was a tough guy. If he didn't hit the south wall, he wouldn't turn back. No, he wouldn't even turn back when he hit the south wall. Other than the Duke of Qin, Xie Fei, the rest of the people did not buy it. Although they knew that Du Ceng's martial arts were not weak and she could not be compared to the other generals of the Qin State, Pang Ze had actually rolled up his sleeves and extended his hand towards Du Ceng. And he cried out, "My husband, my unreasonable husband!"

I call myself humble to myself, but I am a man of low character and shallow knowledge, which is a little insulting. Fortunately, Du Ceng was only a boor and did not understand what he meant. At the same time, Pang Ze's fist also landed on Du Ceng's body. Du Ceng did not dodge, and instead, welcomed the attack. "Bam!" Pang Ze's punch landed, but not only was Du Ceng fine, he had actually knocked Pang Ze down to the ground.

Du Ceng just stood there without moving, allowing Pang Ze to hit him. She reckoned that if Du Ceng was fine, Pang Ze would definitely die from exhaustion.

This time, Pang Ze fell quite heavily, and even his crown fell off. Pang Ze was furious, he crawled up and pointed at Du Ceng: "Today, I will pay with my life!"

Then the two began to fight. The other ministers in the court rushed forward to support them. The two of them were like brave bull-fighters, staring at each other with wide eyes. They refused to give in. The originally quiet imperial court instantly became a bustling market.

The criminal shook his head speechlessly. In fact, it was not because of the timing of their troop attack, but because of another irreconcilable contradiction. In any country, in any dynasty, civil and military officials had never truly been in cahoots with each other. If a country is like a man, then a martial artist and a scholar are the hands and feet of a nation.

The two of them had disturbed the imperial court, so as the temporary decision maker of Qin State, Wang Meng was embarrassed. Wang Meng's anger sunk into his dantian as he loudly shouted, "Enough!"

Instantly, the hall went silent. Du Ceng and Pang Ze subconsciously retreated back to their seats.

Wang Meng said, "The Duke of Qin has given the order that the army will go out to battle. Everyone will carry out their duties and stubbornly perform their duties. They will not be spared!"

With that, Wang Meng slowly withdrew from the court.

From then on, Qin State, the gigantic war machine started to operate rapidly and efficiently. Ministry of Revenue prepared food, works, and travel smoothly.

In November 312, it was snowing heavily in Qinzhou. The northern foot of the Southern Mountains was wrapped in silver like a virgin. What an icy world. At this moment, no one had the heart to enjoy such a scenery.

The Qin State finally began to move towards the east.

Beigong Chun, Du Ceng, Qi Yu, Ma Hun, Qin Haoran, Li Yi, Bai Yi, Wang Mausoleum, Meng Tianhu, Zhangsun Banquet for the four hundred thousand Qin Army s. The four hundred thousand strong army consisted of one hundred and fifty thousand cavalrymen, eight thousand heavy cavalry and two hundred thousand infantry soldiers, of which twelve thousand were heavy infantry, the rest were equipment and soldiers, on this expedition, Qin Army had brought two hundred and sixty-five Buddhist cannons, one hundred and ninety red cannons, forty assaulting carriages, over a million Heaven Bombing grenade s, and fifty thousand artillery shells. Almost all of Qin State's military reserves were used up.

Just the consumption of food was an astronomical figure. Every single soldier would need to consume two kilograms of food per day, which would be eight hundred thousand kilograms per day, and it would not be an easy feat to set off on a campaign either. From receiving Xie Fei's orders to fully assembling their troops, almost a month had passed. In this one month's time, Shi Le, Liu Can, Murong Ke, Wang Dun, and the others all saw that the day was up and knew that it was not suitable for them to fight. As such, they did not take the initiative to launch an attack, and thus, the four sides remained quiet in Jizhou. In this cold winter, Jincheng City got a breather. However, everyone knew that after this short period of peace, there would be a bloody battle that would be even more cruel, a life and death battle.

But who cares? Breathe for a moment, breathe for a moment. For the various dukes, the turmoil that had persisted for three or four months had indeed drained all their energy. Liu Can's hundred thousand elite soldiers only had a bit less than twenty thousand men left. Shi Le was slightly better, he only had thirty thousand men left, Murong Ke was the strongest, the two hundred thirty thousand elite soldiers only had seventy thousand men left, Xie Fei's headquarters had also lost seventy thousand men. The largest and most capable army still belonged to Sima Chi, so the intention of the one hundred and fifty thousand soldier Jizhou s was self-evident.

The winter of this year was extremely cold. Large snowflakes gently drifted down from the sky. As far as the eye could see, it was a vast expanse of white. The entire north was connected.

In just a short span of one month, the Qin State's four hundred thousand strong army was mobilized from the various County s to the Upper State. Wang Meng began his second time leading a war in his life. The first time was when he was leading one hundred and fifty thousand Black Shirt Army from the Azure Province to help the surrounding Luoyang. At this moment, with the entire strength of the Qin State at his disposal, he was fighting this war. At the same time, it was also clear how determined Xie Fei was to unify the north.

The Qin Army army majestically advanced towards the east. On the way, Wang Meng revealed his intentions of wanting to occupy the former capital of Zhao, Chang An. Beigong Chun asked in confusion: "Prime minister, there is something that I do not understand? I would like to ask Mister for guidance. "

Wang Meng said, "But say it's defenseless!"

Beigong Chun said, "There is a cloud around the art of war, why should we go against the norm this time? Without hiding anything, could it be that the Prime Minister's plan to attack and take over Chang An is a ploy to confuse the enemy? "

"No, no!" Wang Meng shook his head and said, "The Upper State is too remote and the climate is cold. It is not suitable for us to become the capital of a large country. "In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bang would definitely close down in the Western Han Dynasty. Five years ago, Patriarch Xi Han Gao (202 years ago) set up Chang An County, and a new city would be built in Chang An County."

In other words, it meant "long term peace" and change the area where the Chang'an City was located to be "Jing Zhao", which meant "Jing Ji".

After the Silk Road opened, Chang An acted as the transportation hub to the Western Regions, and now that all of the countries in the Western Regions are under the jurisdiction of my Qin State, Chang An is the ideal place for the capital. Since the Duke of Qin has decided to fight for the world, this subject will naturally share the worries. So right now, our first battle is to occupy Chang'an at the speed of lightning. "Then, we will follow the original appearance of Changan in the Western Han Dynasty and reconstruct it. The day when we unite the North will be the day when our lord ascends onto the great treasure."

"That, that." On the other hand, Beigong Chun was depressed, since Wang Meng wanted to take down Chang An in one go, why did he have to go all out, could it be that he did not know that Liu Can was prepared to defend this place? Beigong Chun said: "Since the Prime Minister intends to take down Chang'an, why didn't he secretly send out troops and catch us off guard, using the smallest number of casualties to occupy Chang'an."

Wang Meng did not directly answer this question. Wang Meng instead asked, "If you want to make someone afraid of you, what is the best way?"

Beigong Chun replied without hesitation: "Show him your strongest fighting strength."

Wang Meng laughed, "Since General Beigong Chun is so obvious, why are you asking me this question?"

Changan, the city is made up of three parts: Outer Guo City, Gong City and Imperial City. The total area is over 80 square kilometers. The surface of Guocheng is rectangular, 9721 meters long in east, 8651.7 meters wide in north and south, and 36.7 kilometers in circumference. There are three gates on each side, with the exception of the Ming De Gate on the south side, which has five gates, the rest are three gates. Miyagi is located in the north of the city center, plane rectangle, north and south 1492 meters, east and west 2820 meters. The East for the crown prince, the West for the palace people live in the Yating Palace. The Imperial City connected to the south of the palace, there were 7 east and west streets, 5 north and south streets, the left Zong Temple, the right Nacional, and there were also central yamen and affiliated institutions.

The four hundred thousand Qin Army troops had finally reached their first stop on the eastern expedition, Chang'an. Wang Meng ordered the troops to set up camp in all directions of Chang'an. The tent stretched for more than ten miles, when Wang Meng, Beigong Chun and the rest of the generals arrived outside of Chang'an City, Wang Meng looked at the magnificent scene, and said majestically: "As expected, it really is a True Dragon Realm cultivator."

Wang Meng continued to send out orders, "The troops will be resting on the spot. Tomorrow, we will formally attack the city."

Liu Can had always been frightened of the other forces since the time he was ambushed by Murong Biao. He was not a fool, and he was also afraid that he would be eaten by the other forces. Once he returned to Chang An, Liu Can used his status as a Huns and Large Single On to immediately gather a hundred thousand Huns and clansmen for the army.

Facing the four hundred thousand strong army of Qin Army eyeing him covetously, the atmosphere of Liu Can's Imperial Palace seemed to be a lot more tense. Liu Can's imperial palace had hundreds of civil and military officials on both sides.

Liu Can looked at the officials below, at this moment, they were all like frosted eggplants, and seeing this scene, Liu Can's anger rose. Liu Can endured the burning anger in his heart and asked: "My dear sirs, outside Qin Army's four hundred thousand strong army, what plan does the city have to repel the enemy?"

All the ministers looked at each other in silence. Isn't it too naive to retreat from the enemy? Back then, Xie Fei and over a thousand Death Soldiers were able to turn Pingyang upside down. But now, their army of four hundred thousand could simply kill you with their hands alone. There was no chance of winning at all.

This was because they knew that if they were to continue fighting, it would not be a fight where both sides would suffer, but a one-sided massacre. If they were to continue resisting, and if Qin Army were to be angered and ordered to slaughter the entire city, they would definitely die a horrible death. Of course, these words were only in their minds. No one dared to stand out and state it.

Since ancient times, no one would want to provoke Liu Can. The hall fell into a strange silence.

PS has been really ungrateful to you all recently. My wife is in labor, but she has prenatal phobia and is always angry at me. My wife is the first and foremost woman, this is a man's responsibility, you all know it, so I don't need to say anything more. Cheng Zhi had not been in a good condition lately.
