Country and Beauty

After a long while, Sima Chi finally calmed his emotions. Sima Chi turned and said to Zhong Chang Zai and Chang De: "Pass on my words: Prime Minister Xuan Zuo, and high ranking officials of the third level or higher are to meet you at the Cheng Ming Palace."

After Chang De finished singing his vows, he immediately left with small steps.

Sima Chi came to the side of the desk and opened a embroidered box. This was the Inheritance Jade Seal, it was engraved with five dragons and three New York City, it looked extremely lifelike. Engraved on the front was the words "To be ordered by the heavens, to live forever". Seeing this Imperial Jade Seal, Sima Chi was extremely excited. This was the position of the Da Jin that the Martial Emperor Sima Yan had accepted, forcing the Emperor Wei Chen to give it to him. It had only been forty-nine years, could it be that the limits of the Sima's disease had reached?

To be honest, Sima Chi himself never had the intention of spying on the emperor himself, it was just that in the chaos between the eight kings, Wang Sima had obtained victory in the East Sea. He poisoned Emperor Hui to death and made him a puppet emperor. As a puppet emperor, he was sad. He had no right to authority, no status, no prestige, and everything that went along with the emperor had no fate with him. Fortunately, Sima Yue had died later on and helped him to unite the empire. Although the ministers and officials had formed an alliance privately, Sima Chi's feelings for him were still very complicated. Without Xie Fei, he would still be a puppet, because Xie Fei had broken away from his control and monopolized all the authority.

When it came to Xie Fei who had always had the heart to disobey, in truth, he was not the only person in the entire world who did not! Firstly, it was Liu Yuan, then it was Li Xiong, then it was Murong Zheng. Now, with the flow of time, Sima Chi slowly gained power and the ability to deter the zhuangzhuo. Sima Chi also hates Xie Fei, why do you want the title of Emperor? Why can't you be the zhuangzhuo King yourself? You took control of the Western Regions, I won't say anything, you took over the Central Pass, took over Ji You, I also don't have anything else to say, Liu Yuan, Shi Le, Li Xiong, Murong Mu Mu Rong and the others call themselves emperors, this point is understandable, they are all barbarians that have yet to be enlightened, but you, Xie Fei, are a dignified general of the Da Jin, an official of the Qin State.

The hatred in Sima Chi's heart was better than words.

In the Luoyang's Lang Xie Royal Mansion, Sima Rui had met with Wen Qiao, Su Jun and a bunch of his trusted aides in the secret room.

Actually, Xie Fei claiming becoming the emperor was not a secret at all. Sima Rui started to talk about how Xie Fei became the emperor.

Just then, Wen Qiao was the first to speak: "My prince, this Xie Fei is considered to be of great importance, we cannot underestimate him. But from what I see, Xie Fei is being a little too hasty, even though the influence of his cultivation is increasing, but if Xie Fei did not pass on the Imperial Jade Seal, then his reputation will not be right. "

Sima Rui frowned upon hearing his words. He had secretly worked in the Jiangdong for ten years, and his current strength was not one bit inferior to Sima Chi's. He knew that his chance had come. If he were to provoke an all-out confrontation between Sima Chi and Xie Fei now, even if Sima Chi lost at that time, Xie Fei would at least be severely injured. The Jiangdong was not as developed as the north. The water system of the Jiangdong was developed, and the rivers intersected everywhere. No matter how strong the Qin State's cavalry was, it was impossible for them to traverse the rivers.

Su Jun actually understood Sima Rui's intention. However, he was a little worried as he let him go against Xie Bing, and Su Jun said: "Your highness, but Xie Fei is not someone to be trifled with, the great master of the Qin State has always looked down upon him, and has never failed. Destroying Li Xiong, pacifying the Western Region, defeating the Huns, and defeating any of the other forces that oppose Xie Fei are all not weak things, but Xie Fei has defeated them all, so it will not be easy for him to fish for profit."

"Then it really isn't easy to deal with."

"Yes, yes. "How troublesome." Sima Rui and the few strategists started to talk to each other quietly, looking extremely worried. Only Wen Qiao did not say anything, and Sima Rui asked.

"Tai Zhen, why aren't you saying anything? What do you think? "

Wen Qiao saluted. "Your Highness has already made up his mind. Why would you need me to make a move on you? How can the King's wisdom be guessed by us, and therefore he does not speak. "

Although Sima Rui knew that Wen Qiao was trying to curry favor with him, but he felt that what he said was very pleasing to the ears, and happily accepted.

Sima Rui laughed confidently, but just as he was about to speak, the doorman reported to the Emperor.

Sima Rui and the rest could only pack up and head to the palace.

At this time, many ministers had already arrived in the main hall of the Cheng Ming Palace. Heavy officials like Director Wang and Sima Rui naturally arrived late, depending on their status.

After waiting for the arrival of the ministers, Chang De cleared his throat.

Not to mention the close attendants of an emperor, even an emperor did not have much influence over them. At this time, the ministers were clearly divided into three factions, there was no need to mention if they were to surrender and send them out, there was also the strong faction, and there were also those like Director Wang and Sima Rui, who were both powers that had formed their own independent faction. But at the same time, because of Chang De, all the officials still had to give him some face, so they quickly shut their mouths.

Seeing that the hall was quiet, Chang De continued: "The Emperor has arrived!"

All the officials hurriedly bowed.

After a series of painless opening remarks, Sima Chi said, "Everyone, Xie Fei has suddenly turned traitor and is now known as the Emperor of Chang An. What do you think of this matter, everyone?"

The Director Wang pretended to be shocked as he said, "Xie Fei had just pacified the rebellion in Liaodong. He had wanted to seek credit for the Qin State, but who would have known that this Xie Fei would not know how to appreciate favors.

The Director Wang then continued to curse at Xie Fei. He scolded Xie Fei until his skin was all ripped and his head was drenched in dog blood.

The officials also began to echo him. Cheng Ming hall suddenly became a busy street, a huge mess. However, it was mainly to denounce Xie Fei and send troops to suppress him.

At this time …

The moment Sima Chi finished speaking, the voices of the many people in the Cheng Ming Palace suddenly disappeared, the entire atmosphere in the hall was depressing, almost to the point that one could hear a pin drop. All the officials secretly inhaled a breath of cold air as they sent out troops to suppress him. The Huns coming and going like the wind had always been a huge problem for the Jin State, but when the Huns were fighting against the Qin Army, the Qin Army was as easy as pulling out dried weeds. The fresh horse was stronger than the Hunters, they were not even able to withstand a single blow from the wolf-like Qin Army. If they wanted to rely on this group of old soldiers, they would not even be able to defeat the Huns, let alone the extremely powerful Qin Army. It was fortunate that the Qin Army did not attack the Luoyang, they still needed to send troops to suppress him. She truly did not know her limits.

Of course, Director Wang was only thinking about these things, he did not have the guts to say it in front of Sima Chi.

Sima Chi looked at the officials, and realised that they were all silent. Sima Chi was secretly angry in his heart.

Sima Rui calculated in his mind. He wanted to rely on Xie Fei to consume all of his energy, so he would naturally not oppose to send troops to suppress them. Although fighting could not avoid death, since it was not Sima Rui himself who died, he was not worried at all.

With Sima Rui's instructions, Su Jun stepped forward: "Your Majesty, this subject thinks that since Xie Fei is the one who is going to rebel, he should send troops to suppress him.

Sima Chi was very happy to see Su Jun invite him to battle.

Just then, Sima Rui spoke out: Your Majesty, Xie Fei's bandit army looks strong, but it's not, in truth, weak on the outside. Xie Fei just fought a huge battle with Liu Can, Shi Le and Murong, and lost countless of troops because of that, although Xie Fei won in the end, it was still a tragic victory, some of the victories were miserable defeats, but actually, Xie Fei was already extremely exhausted. Furthermore, the Jizhou, Yanzhou and Youzhou had just been occupied by Xie Fei, so he did not have the time to digest them.

"What do you mean?" Sima Chi asked.

Sima Rui said: "When sending troops to suppress Xie Fei, His Majesty won three times, one of them was that the three states of Jizhou, Yanzhou, and Youzhou had just been occupied by Xie Fei, causing Xie Fei's foundation to be unstable, the other was that all the warriors of the three states were hostile to Xie Fei, and if a strategy of lobbying, enticing, and roping him in was adopted, it would make use of the power of all the large families of the northern families. Although the Scholars does not have much power, but they possess a large amount of land and wealth. If Xie Fei's army were to fight with the Jin State and if all of the Scholars from the three provinces were to suddenly rebel, the morale of the Qin Army would definitely be down. Furthermore, His Majesty has shown great righteousness by summoning all the soldiers of the zhuangzhuo to encircle and annihilate Xie Fei and gather all of his power. There is no reason why we should not win against Xie Fei. "

As long as Sima Chi was dragged into the water, with Xie Fei's strength consumption, if Xie Fei could kill Sima Chi, it would be even better. At worst, he would just have to retreat to the Jiangdong and use the Yangtze River as his defense, how could the Qin Army fly across?

While Sima Chi's conspiracy was unfolding around him. Xie Fei began his first big mission after he ascended the throne.

This was the newly built Floating Cloud Pavilion, and the Floating Cloud Pavilion was actually a martyr's mausoleum garden. It took up an acre of land, and the Floating Cloud Pavilion was arranged in a square shape, with the five storeys of the Floating Cloud Pavilion in the innermost area. The Floating Cloud Pavilion was constructed entirely out of white stone, and it gave off an extraordinary atmosphere and extraordinary aura.

The people from the Loyalty Soul Hall were all ordinary Qin soldiers s, and the Ling Yun Pavilion was a high ranked officer. A large monument was erected in front of the Hall of Souls' doors. It was written that it was loyal to the nation and its heroic spirit was immortal.

Xie Fei led a group of civil and military officials as well as close to ten thousand soldiers. These ten thousand soldiers were not in the same battle formation, but rather consisted of soldiers who were at least Level 5 in their army of six hundred thousand. Some of them were from the First Regiment, some were from the Sixth Regiment, some were from the Sixth Regiment.

Pei Xian, the Minister of Rites said: "The time has come, Your Majesty."

Xie Fei strode towards the stage and bowed three times towards the Hall of Souls. Then, he read out the sacrificial text and personally presided over the ceremony. After a long ceremony, Xie Fei said to the following soldiers: "Soldiers, today, we sent away this group of heroes. They fought to the death and none of them were cowards. The war of the Western Regions, the war of the Bashu, the war of the Jizhou and the war of the Youzhou, after four years of blood and sweat, we defeated the countries of the Western Regions, destroyed the Huns, defeated the people of Qiang and established our own Great Qin Empire. But they are all good men, brothers of I, Xie Fei. They did not cower, did not cower, and did not fight to the death for me, Xie Fei, without any regrets.

They are all my, Xie Fei's soldiers, and are worthy of the title, Great Qin's Iron Army. Today, I am going to bury them all here, and have them be respected by the future generations, and have their bravery spread through the generations. No matter what kind of enemies they were, they were fearless and deserved the title of Hero. They died fighting for me, Xie Fei, and I want them to be worshipped here for all eternity. "

"Long live the." The soldiers below were cheering loudly, so loud that it was almost deafening.

Xie Fei gestured for the soldiers to quiet down, then Xie Fei took out his military thorn, cut off a strand of hair and placed it on the table in front of the Hall of Souls, "Soldiers, today, I, Xie Fei, am going to change my life. Today, I will put my head here. Let all the fallen soldiers continue to guard me and follow me.

They are still my, Xie Fei's, soldiers. Even if we have to go to the Underworld, I will still lead them into the Underworld. Would you like to be one of them? You. "Are you willing to follow me and travel all the way to the Underworld?"

"Yes, yes!" The voice resounded in all directions. All the soldiers shouted loudly. Xie Fei was the Qin Army's War God and even their commander. The belief to fight for the commander was deeply engraved in the minds of all the soldiers.

Now, Xie Fei's words aroused the courage of all the warriors. No one was a coward. They were willing to fight for Xie Fei, not only because Xie Fei had given them a generous amount of food, but also because Xie Fei had given them incomparable honor.

Just as Xie Fei was paying his respects to Ling Yun Pavilion, within the Jingshan, Jia Shun received the following report.

After receiving the news, Jia Shun ignored the training of the soldiers, and anxiously went to find Sun Chuo, to discuss the countermeasures with the leader.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Jia Shun went straight to the point: "I wonder what's the big reason, Jin Army suddenly wants to add troops on Han Gu Guan, my intentions are unclear, what do you guys think?"

Before the generals could speak, Sun Chuo rolled his eyes and thought of a plan. General, great joy, now is the perfect time to take down Han Gu Guan and attract its attention, and seize the opportunity to take down Luoyang. "

Jia Shun looked at Sun Chuo with a puzzled expression. Sun Chuo smiled lightly, and revealed a profound expression.

Sun Chuo pointed to a spot on the map and said, "General, please take a look here?"

"Qin Huling?"

"That's right."

"General, please take a look. The terrain here is not spacious and the mountains are not too steep. However, the vegetation here is dense and suitable for fire attacks. Moreover, the enemy won't be able to escape even if a fire is set at these two corners." Sun Chuo laughed, "Furthermore, they are less than ten kilometers away from the Han Gu Guan, if we attack this place together, the Han Gu Guan will definitely send troops to rescue them. If the guards in the Han Gu Guan do not come out and hide in the turtle shell, we cannot do anything to them, but once they come out, hmph, who in the world can be the opponent of my Qin Army?"

Jia Shun said: "We cannot place our hopes of victory on the opponent's mistakes. If we continue to treat the opponent as a fool, then we are the fools. What if the enemy does not come out to rescue us? "

As long as there are more than ten gunpowder packet s at the city gates, the city gates will naturally be destroyed. As long as there are no city gates, taking down the Han Gu Guan is not difficult at all, and there are people defending the Han Gu Guan as well, as long as Qin Hu Mountain Flame is together with us, this is the signal. If the enemies do not come out to rescue the Jin Army, we will choose to blow up the gates and force our way through the gates.

Jia Shun said: "Alright, I'll listen to master's words."

Jia Shun came from a different world: "Brothers, the Emperor has already ascended the throne. We have always been following him, but we haven't done anything, don't we have to be embarrassed? Now is the time for us to build our career, and take down the Han Gu Guan. "

A red-faced general said, "The general has orders, no one dares disobey."

Jia Shun said: "Generals, listen up."
