Country and Beauty

In a serious situation, he would either fight with his life on the line or die. No one was willing to wait for death. This time Peng Mo was ruthless, he took the lead. He brandished his saber and rushed towards the top of the valley. He didn't know that because Peng Mo was blessed by the gods or his ancestors, the arrows that were shot down from the valley like rain did not harm him at all.

Very quickly, a few hundred people gathered around Peng Mo and formed a powerful assault formation. Just then, Peng Mo finally led his division forward. Usually, in close combat, crossbowmen and archers would have almost no fighting strength, but because Xie Fei was willing to spend money, every single soldier in Qin Army were crossbow archers and also sword and shield soldiers. At this time, Qin soldiers also put away his crossbow and pulled out his blade to fight.

Peng Mo had gone through the rain of arrows from the Qin Army with much difficulty, and had not even had time to relax when they were welcomed by the densely packed long spears and horizontal blades from the Qin Army. The battle between the two armies, any moves and tricks could be ignored, because there were too many of them and there was no way to dodge them.

Although Peng Mo's fighting strength was not ordinary, he was at most at a second-rate, but facing these Qin soldiers who had gone through simple training, he could be considered an expert. This time, Peng Mo displayed quite a bit of power. He continuously swung out his Golden Luan Blade, and practically one Qin soldiers fell with every slash. If there was a way that one was not afraid of death, then why should they care about their own life? Peng Mo and his tribe gradually suppressed the Qin soldiers on the valley, forming a situation of superiority. At this moment, when Peng Mo saw that their general had opened up a gap, he became even more excited. He rushed forward screaming.

Although the Jin Army's fighting strength was not strong and his discipline was not strict, everyone knew that at this time, other than fighting with their all, there was no other choice. This was because the bottom of the valley had sunk into a sea of flames that could not be seen clearly. If they did not charge forward, they would be burned to death. Just then, the disadvantage of the new disciples from Qin Army began to show. Although the quality of the bodies of the miners were not bad, they were just ordinary people, and had not experienced much, so they obviously could not compare to the real elites of the hundreds of battles.

Many of the recruits were shocked by the brutality of the battlefield and were at a loss of what to do. Stunned on the spot, Peng Mo was about to break the seal on the Qin Army.

Just at this moment, a few elite Qin Army soldiers came out and added onto the worsening the situation, this meant that these veteran soldiers of the Jingshan's garrison were the direct descendents of the army that Xie Fei had sent out from Qu Yang, and that they were all extremely loyal to Xie Fei, with fighting strength that was only stronger than the elite troops of the Qin Army. Facing the elite Qin Army who had suddenly rushed out, the Jin Army felt his scalp go numb, and had to think of a plan to deal with it.

Breaking out of an encirclement and counterattacking it was a matter of life and death. At this time, there was no escape, no cowardice, because if there were these two things on you, congratulations, you were the fastest to die. Facing the enemy's blade and arrows, only by charging forward without any resistance would one have a chance of survival.

In the Qin Army, everyone had one thought: On the battlefield, only by sacrificing one's life can one survive. If you don't want to risk your life, then death is your fate. On the battlefield, you can only fight with your life on the line. Either you die or the enemy dies.

Although the Qin Army's elites were strong, they had to be too few in number. Furthermore, the Jin Army was a trapped beast that was still fighting, so after a long battle, Peng Mo was finally able to break out of the encirclement. Jia Shun who was at the top of the mountain watching the battle saw Peng Mo rushing out from his encirclement. Not only was he not angry, he had a look of joy on his face.

Rushing out of the Qin Army's encirclement, Peng Mo counted the number of people around him, and started crying. Of the thirty thousand army, in a short four hours, there were only four to five thousand people left, Peng Mo couldn't care about the troops that did not gather, they were abandoned, for where they would care about their life and death, surrender or be killed, it would all depend on their own good luck, if they could escape, it would be considered preserving their lives, but the possibility of that wasn't high.

At this moment, the sounds of battle rang out again in front of them. It seemed like the enemies were surrounding them with more than one attack. Right now, Peng Mo also had his own difficulties. In front of him, there were obstructing enemies, but behind them, there were pursuers. This made it even more difficult for Peng Mo.

At this time, the Han Gu Guan's garrison troops were hiding in the living quarters and roasting the flames. It was freezing outside and only a few soldiers were guarding the entrance.

He was very clear on the importance of the Han Gu Guan, and he was very clear on the fact that there were five thousand soldiers under her command. Relying on the danger posed by the Han Gu Guan, he decided to avoid the battle to the death, so if she could not hold on, she could ask the capital for reinforcements, and it would take at most five days for them to arrive. Zhu Kang was also very worried about the situation in the world. Fortunately, the Imperial Court began to send reinforcements.

"Reporting, General Peng's Department was ambushed by the Qin Army twenty miles before the pass. They suffered heavy losses, and the soldiers that came to report asked for reinforcements!"

"What?" Zhu Kang suddenly stood up, and his expression turned slightly unsightly.

When Peng Mo just came to support the Han Gu Guan, they already made their move, this was simply too much of a coincidence.

Just at this moment, another soldier reported, "General, five miles in front of the pass, there is an army chasing after a clip of handicapped veterans. An army that might be General Peng's … "

Zhu Kang immediately became anxious and said, "Hurry up and gather the troops. Let's go to the city wall …" Anxious, Zhu Kang immediately stood up and said.

When Zhu Kang led the troops to the walls of the Han Gu Guan, the handicapped veterans kept fighting as they escaped, quickly approaching the Han Gu Guan City.

And the situation of the remnant was becoming more and more urgent. The few Jin Army soldiers ran and killed at the same time. The number of people became fewer and fewer, and they were about to perish.

Zhu Kang raised his fist, his face full of struggle. It could be a trap, but it could also be true. If it was a trap, he would most likely be ambushed when he left the city for a battle. But if it's true, General Pen. Right now, Peng Mo was a big shot in front of the Emperor. As a general of the imperial court, his position was something that a martial arts Academy Officer like him couldn't afford to offend.

Although the Han Gu Guan was very important, Zhu Kang would absolutely not allow Peng Mo to be killed right in front of his eyes.

"Wait, wait a little longer …" Zhu Kang forced himself to calm down. Although the handicapped veterans were in a sorry state, they still had the ability to escape while fighting, and they shouldn't be able to perish in a short period of time.

However, the situation on the battlefield suddenly reversed. Maybe it was because they did not have enough stamina, but the broken up soldiers were surrounded by the Qin Army.

"Bang, bang, bang …" The sound of weapons colliding together and miserable howls could be heard nonstop. Every voice caused Zhu Kang's heart to tremble. Would there be Peng Mo? Would there be Peng Mo?

"Zhu Kang, General Peng is here, why haven't you come to save him?" Not to mention the fact that these words would occasionally come from the broken weapon. The accent was also that of the Central Plains. It seemed to be the accent of the Xinan region.

This time, Zhu Kang was relieved, he knew that the majority of Qin Army were people from the land of Qin Liang, and their accents were completely different from those of the Central Plains, this point was something that he could understand, Zhu Kang did not know, was that the Qin Army of this army had actually been living amongst the Jingshan s that were less than 100 miles away from the Han Gu Guan for four years already.

Just then, Zhu Kang no longer hesitated and immediately ordered the five thousand soldiers and horses out to rescue Peng Mo.

With a creaking sound, the drawbridge above the fortress was slowly lowered down and the gate was opened wide. The three thousand Jin Army in the city charged out of the fortress.

Zhu Kang thought that since there were only about 2,000 people in the Qin Army chasing after him, if he, 3000 soldiers were to attack, he would definitely win.

Qin Army saw that the Jin Army was rushing out from the city, and suddenly became flustered, the surrounding Jin Army could not let go of this chance to live, they had no idea where they got the strength to run inside the Han Gu Guan, their speed was so fast, they could only run a hundred meters. This caused Zhu Kang, who was on the city wall, to be dumbstruck.

Suddenly, a big question mark appeared in Zhu Kang's head. "Not good, this is a trap."

"Quick, call for reinforcements!" Zhu Kang said anxiously.

However, it was clearly too late to say that now, as it was too soon, the 'Jin Army' who had rushed into the cave, took off her disguise and revealed her original armour. They were unexpectedly the Qin Army, and it had just been a play.

Zhu Kang's heart ached for the three thousand soldiers outside the city, and his heart ached even more for the Han Gu Guan, because he was the general of the Han Gu Guan, so if the city gate was broken, he would lose his head. Zhu Kang disregarded the soldiers outside the city and quickly ordered the soldiers to put away the suspension bridge, and at that moment, the Qin Army who had rushed to the bottom of the city, aimed at the winch on the city gate and suddenly stopped after a few rounds.

Only now did he remember to ask someone to close the city gate.

However, it was too late to close the door.

The several hundred Qin Army s had killed their way through the city gate and were fleeing in panic. They were unable to even get close to the entrance of the city gate, let alone close it.

Suddenly, a large amount of Qin Army troops appeared in her line of sight, causing Zhu Kang's heart to turn cold. As far as the eye could see, there were no less than twenty thousand Qin soldiers s.

"This is the end." Zhu Kang sat on the ground dispiritedly. Not to mention being unable to close the door, even if he had to close the city gate, what could he do? He could only use two thousand soldiers to defend against twenty thousand Qin Army.

This battle, not only did Jia Shun manage to take all thirty thousand of Peng Mo's troops, he had even won Han Gu Guan at a light price.

Originally, Jia Shun had used Sun Chuo's scheme and used the recruited Peng Mo Clan Jin Jun Jun to act in front of the Han Gu Guan, thus deceiving Zhu Kang for his purpose of launching an surprise attack on the Han Gu Guan.

After Jia Shun entered the Han Gu Guan, he hurriedly ordered for people to tighten the defenses of the Han Gu Guan. The 30 Zhuge crossbow s who specialize in defending the Jingshan's gold mines as well as the 100,000 crossbow arrows were also delivered into the Han Gu Guan that same day.

Sun Chuo said: "General, the Corridor Pass is extremely steep. Right now our troop has over 70,000 new recruits, 80,000 troops. Furthermore, we also have enough food to guard the Corner of the Corner of the Corridor. There was still a steady stream of reinforcements coming. Now, in this critical moment, he was afraid that it would be difficult for him for some time. And after a long period of time, since the Jin Army was short of food and resources, they naturally increased their troops if they did not manage to beat Corridor. When that happens, the defending troops of the Luoyang will definitely be sent over to support the battle. At that time, the general's chance will come. "

Jia Shun said: "As the land where our Great Qin produces rations, how can we possibly lose it? Even if all of us were to die in battle, we won't allow our Han Gu Guan to lose anything."

Just when Jia Shun was about to increase his defense and defend against the attacks from the Jin Army. Right now, the Jizhou, Yanzhou, Yongzhou, Shuo Zhou, Youzhou and the others were newly decided, so the first thing they had to do was deal with the livelihood of the citizens, the most important thing was that even if the citizens needed assistance, the food they required was an astronomical figure. Even if Xie Fei had a gold mine, it would not be able to support such consumption of resources.

Moreover, for the Qin soldiers, those who had meritorious deeds had to be rewarded, those who had sacrificed, their families had to be settled down, and so on, causing Xie Fei to worry about money.

After Xie Fei ascended the throne, he didn't sit around and enjoy the blessings of the other people just like in the other novels. He was extremely busy right now, just like the current Cheng Zhi, who couldn't wait to spend 48 hours every day.

The first thing Xie Fei did was to win back the hearts of the people. There was a saying that made the people grateful to him, that the person who won the hearts of the people should rule the world. 's wish was to completely get rid of the agricultural tax like Brother Hu, the people did not have to pay the taxes, but this idea was immediately rejected by Xie Fei himself. Although Qin Army had always been encouraging business, and there was some improvement in business activity, it was far from what he imagined.

The people often thought of simple things, they did not care which dynasty it was, do not talk about loyalty to the Jin Dynasty. The Da Jin Dynasty is a place where us commoners can't even eat, why should we be loyal to you? Right now, the Qin State was different. At least they did not have to starve to death.

Right now, Xie Fei had a very thorny problem in front of him, and that was the clan heads. During the period of Wei Jin and Nan Bei Chao, the clan heads were very strong, and those in power gave them too many privileges. These nobles had almost sixty percent of the land in the world under their control. However, these Feudal Lords enjoyed duty-free treatment. And nominally state-owned salt, iron. Tea, wine and other state-owned businesses were also almost entirely in the hands of the Feudal Lords. There is almost no tax on these big taxes. In their eyes, no matter what nationality they were from, no matter what national interest they had, it was all bullshit. They were just thinking about how to pass on their family's legacy and make their family prosper.

That was understandable. However, under those circumstances, 90% of the citizens who owned 40% of the land had to pay the taxes of the entire world. That made the citizens unable to pay taxes. At that time, the officials were also greedy and greedy, so much so that the people couldn't pay taxes and sold their land to sell their women. However, they still couldn't eat. If he could not even eat, then naturally he would rebel. The popular rebellion was secondary. Even more serious was the invasion of the Hu people, who had often adopted a policy of "three beams of light" that was more brutal than that of the Japanese.

Based on Xie Fei's personality in the past, dealing with the clan and Scholars was actually easy for him. In any case, he had the army and could just exterminate the entire clan, but Xie Fei was now the ruler of a country, so he had to be careful of the influence. Powerful, even now, seemingly submissive. However, it was inevitable that they would secretly resist. If they did not handle it properly, once the Feudal Lords gathered enough power, it would turn into chaos. The Empire would spend a considerable amount of energy here to guard against the Doors.

Xie Fei had no good idea, but after thinking about it, he decided to try again and put it on hold for now. We'll discuss it later. Right now, what was in front of Xie Fei was the question of food. How to support more people, and how to support the entire Great Qin's unified war. Xie Fei very naturally thought of sweet potato and potato, two foods with high yields.

As a descendant of the later generation, Xie Fei naturally knew that this kind of sweet potato wild species originated from the tropical regions of the Americas, that potatoes were produced in the Andes of South America, and also that maize was a high-yield crop that could support a large number of people. However, this was rather difficult to do, the Qin State's Navy was currently in its infancy, so Xie Fei originally planned to create a steam engine for a steamship to travel to the ocean, but it was too late.

Xie Fei could only harden his heart and let the newly established navy go.

In the end, Xie Fei was still a person and not a god. What he did not know was that at this moment, the newly born Great Qin Empire was facing an unprecedented calamity.
