Love Warriors Cong Liangji

Even the masculine clothes can't conceal her slim figure. She is quite tall among women in this era, at [-] meters or more, a head taller than Mash and Lixiang—or maybe Her soles are too high.

Jiang Liu noticed with sharp eyes that she deliberately wore special shoes, and when talking with people, she would naturally look for a higher place to stand...

Coupled with her "Heavenly Fall" appearance, I always feel that His Majesty the Second is a bit naturally dumb.

"Thank you, guests from the south."

In the post house dedicated to receiving foreign envoys, the lightly dressed Emperor II sat upright in a small hall, looking at Jiang Liu and the others with a smile on his face.

Xiang Liang controlled his mood and submitted his identity certificate and Xiang Yu's bamboo slips in accordance with the etiquette. The Second Emperor read it hastily and did not raise any objections.

"I already understand why Qing and the others are here."

Putting the bamboo slips on the desk in front of him, the Second King said seriously: "No matter who it is, they have already paid too much for this war, and now we are still threatened by the Hu from the North, the situation is extremely critical .If Shangzhu Kingdom (Xiang Yu) is interested, I don't mind having peace talks with him."

Xiang Liang pursed his lips. Although the hatred in his heart had never diminished, it was indeed not the time to talk about this, so he had no choice but to suppress his hatred and negotiate with the Second Emperor from the position of the Allied Forces of the Six Nations.

"Now we have blocked the attack of the Huns in the south. Relying on the dense waterway network, it is difficult for the Huns' cavalry to deploy on a large scale, and the advantages are greatly offset, so there is more than enough defense.

But we are very embarrassed in other respects. We have neither tall city fortresses nor sufficient troops and weapons stocks.In the battle with the Huns, it was too difficult for recruits to survive, and there was no chance to train them into veterans.

If this continues, our main force will be exhausted sooner or later, and the only city we can rely on will be Shouchun. "

"This......"

The Second Fusu knew in his heart that Xiang Liang was begging for supplies and equipment.

Not specifying something, which means that whatever Qin can produce, the six countries need it all.

How to put it, this is expected.

Today's Chu State is not the rich south that was developed by later generations. Although the area is vast, there are not many places suitable for living, farming, and building cities. There are even savages in the deep mountains and swamps. After the war, the people's power that can be used is not very abundant.

The land occupied by the Qi State is relatively rich, because it has various terrains such as plains, mountains, and hills, the climate is livable, and it also has the benefits of sea salt. Therefore, Qi State has been regarded as a piece of fertile land since ancient times, and its strength is relatively strong.

However, the burden of the Qi State in the coalition army is the biggest. Excluding the soldiers under Xiang Yu's command, most of the six-nation coalition forces are from good families who were born in the land of Qilu. It has always been big, and it would be nice to be able to block the breakthrough of the White Huns supplementary side. It is hard to expect them to contribute more.

The so-called "Six Nations" coalition forces, Qi and Chu are the main forces, they are so stretched, the strength of the other few is almost equal to zero...

On the contrary, Qin's side can be said to be strong.

The Emperor Shi Huang left behind not just a collection of architectural wonders, but the wealth and resources he gathered in his conquest...and a wave of hatred.

Among other things, the arsenal in Guanzhong can at least arm two to 300,000 people without pressure.

But the second world also has difficulties, that is, she can't convert all the resources at hand into strength.

Speaking of it, it was Emperor Shihuang who made the mess...

Qin’s extermination of the six kingdoms relied on the implementation of the wartime system. Although the Qin army became extremely powerful in the process, the people’s power in Guanzhong’s basic plate was consumed a lot. If it were not for the support of Bashu as a logistics base, the first emperor would not be able to continue in one go. Conquer the six kingdoms.

However, after the official reunification, the people in Guanzhong did not get a timely recuperation, and the strict laws of Qin also made the people of the six countries feel uncomfortable. In addition, during the reign of Emperor Shihuang, he basically either fought wars or engaged in construction projects, and sometimes came together. .....

Whether it is the people of the Six Kingdoms or the people of Qin, they were all apportioned to a lot of corvee, and later they simply arrested criminals, small traders, son-in-law and other people with lower social status to serve as hard labor.

After the first emperor passed away and the second emperor came to power, the state of Qin had already accumulated a lot of hard work. Even with the system of rewarding military merits, it was difficult to get the people to support the war—too many battles were fought, and the people of Qin did not get enough " War dividends"!

In fact, the Second Emperor even felt that if the Six Kingdoms had not rebelled and the White Huns had gone south earlier, perhaps the Guanzhong area would be in chaos first...

She doesn't have many troops at hand now, and even if she is a bit tough to enlist, there are still very few young men who can be called upon.

The main body of war is people. No matter how many resources there are, if no one uses them, they are equivalent to waste.

(Historically, too many people died in the unification war at the end of the Qin Dynasty. The Central Plains region had to be raised until the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to recover its national strength, and then to wrestle with the Xiongnu.)

Therefore, it is impossible for Fusu to send reinforcements to help the Six Nations defend anyway—and she doesn't trust the Six Nations very much in her heart.

"I'll dispatch a batch of weapons and food as much as possible, and send them to Shouchun as quickly as possible. However, Qin's war is also quite difficult, and there is no spare force to assist you."

"This......"

Hearing Fusu's words, Xiang Liang was disappointed for a while. Although it would be nice to get the aid of weapons and food, but in the best case, of course he could bring the reinforcements back.

The coalition forces and the White Huns suffered too much damage in battle, and the veterans of the main force were being consumed all the time. If there were no new recruits, it might not last long.At such a critical juncture, Xiang Liang would honestly bow his head and ask for help even if the target was the Qin State, which was once a sworn enemy.

It's just a pity that it seems that the landlord's family has no surplus food, and Xiang Liang's plan will come to nothing.

Li Xiang, Jiang Liu and the others just stayed by the side, looking at the decoration style of the palace from time to time, and did not disturb the conversation between the two at all: they are laymen, so they just wait obediently by the side at this time.

"This... is also possible, but this is just a drop in the bucket. It is different from the brave White Huns. If the front continues like this, morale will collapse sooner or later."

Xiang Liang smiled wryly: "Even now, it's actually only controlled by Yu'er's prestige."

The Second frowned: "There is no way, no matter where the war is going on, there is no more troops to draw, unless... um."

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Fusu's eyes lit up, and his slightly frowning brows relaxed.

"Gu has a solution, but I need the help of Mr. Jiang Liu."

"what?"

Jiang Liu, who was admiring the palace with Lixiang, raised his head suddenly, with a calm face...with a hint of bewilderment.

"I?"

Chapter 252: The Oldest Captain Touching Gold

"Actually, the legacy left by the late emperor is quite a lot. For example, if the Twelve Golden Men can be activated, they can withstand a million soldiers on the battlefield."

The second thought for a while, hesitated but finally decided to tell the truth.

"However, they are not available now."

unusable?

Jiang Liu and the others looked at each other, thinking of the scene of the Jinren running rampant in the city before.

Li Xiang guessed: "Is it related to what happened just now?"

"That's right..." The Second gave a wry smile, "Because Gu Shi was unwilling to lose the control of Jin Ren, so he planned to forcibly obtain the authority, but the protection mechanism was triggered."

Speaking of this, she glanced at Jiang Liu gratefully: "If it weren't for Mr. Jiang Liu's help, let alone Gu's life, I am afraid that even this palace would not be preserved. Thank you so much, and I will definitely repay you if I have the opportunity in the future." .”

"It's nothing, it's a trivial matter." Jiang Liu waved his hand indifferently, "But aren't you the heir of Qin Shihuang? How come you don't have control authority?"

"I'm alone...I'm not the orthodox heir."

Qin Ershi's words were astonishing, and she said slowly: "Originally, my father did not appoint a crown prince, or any legal successor. I am the oldest among the princes and princesses, so I attract a lot of attention. She's a woman, so the chances of choosing me are slim."

"But you took this seat." Jiang Liu asked with great interest, "Why?"

"Because my father wants to use me as a cover."

Fu Su smiled slightly: "Perhaps, no one in this world knows him better than me... He is too powerful, but there is nothing he can't do in the world, but there is no one who wants anything. He can't get it.

And after obtaining everything, he naturally began to advance to the realm above human intelligence. After he unified the six countries and became the "Emperor", his father lost all challengers, so he began to focus on excavating ancient ruins, Restoring Immortal Technology. "

Jiang Liuruo realized something: "Is it immortal?"

"Yes."

Fusu glanced at him approvingly: "The only thing the emperor can't get is eternal life, becoming an immortal immortal and ruling the empire forever is the emperor's long-cherished wish.

For this reason, he used a lot of manpower and material resources to excavate many ruins and built many exaggerated construction projects. Even the Twelve Golden Men were his trial works when he was studying the technology of immortality.

For the father who has such an idea, there is no need for an heir at all. As long as he himself can survive forever, then Great Qin will naturally continue to prosper. "

"So, in his eyes, clan blood like yours is unnecessary?"

"Ah, yes... However, Father is not cruel enough to get rid of us all."

The Second King and Jiang Liu looked at each other, and said seriously: "He hates killing blood relatives very much."

Jiang Liu took a deep breath, the expression on his face seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and there was a kind of entanglement suddenly.

Saying that Qin Shihuang valued family affection is probably the same as saying that Li Shimin and his father are kind and filial, and brothers and friends are respectful.

It must be known that Yingzheng put his mother under house arrest, killed his rebellious half-brother and two younger half-brothers, and finally forced to death his prime minister, Lu Buwei, who was also his teacher and father.

It can be said that he wiped out all the people closest to him with his own hands, and became a "lonely person" in the true sense, even more thoroughly than Li Shimin.

Therefore, Jiang Liu originally wanted to show a playful smile, but then he hesitated after thinking about it carefully.

Ying Zheng has indeed done many morally flawed things, but what does he think?

As a proton, he was brought up in the state of Zhao, which had a great enmity with the state of Qin (the Battle of Changping had ended when Ying Zheng was born), so he walked on thin ice and only depended on his mother.

After returning to the country, his father died within a short time. It can be said that he inherited the throne without any foundation. At this time, he relied on Lu Buwei.

Then his younger brother wanted to rebel against him, his mother loved his lover more than him, and even wanted to help his lover to kill him, and let the evil species replace him as the king of Qin, but as a teacher, Lu Buwei always held onto the power...

Ordinary people may not be able to survive the collapse long ago, but Ying Zheng defeated each of these opponents with a cold heart, and became a loner, but he also became the real King of Qin.

Throughout his life, he has never established a queen, nor has he established a prince, perhaps because he never trusts anyone from the bottom of his heart.

But he never punished his children excessively. Even if Fusu once contradicted him, the emperor who could lay down millions of corpses in a fit of anger only let Fusu go to the border for training without any real punishment.

Compared with a certain empress in history, Qin Shihuang is extraordinarily benevolent in this regard.

Perhaps, he was just teased by fate so he could not enjoy family affection, but there may still be a trace of warmth deep in his heart.

Fusu said that he hated killing among blood relatives, which sounded like self-deprecating, but after thinking about it, he felt inexplicably sad...

"If the crown prince is registered, then ambitious people will naturally gather together. When the power reaches a certain level, even the emperor will have to deal with it... The emperor tried his best to avoid this. This happens."

Fusu opened his hand: "Then I was chosen."

"Oh? What do you say?"

"There is no example of a woman being a king in the history of China, so those ambitious people have doubts and will not lean over casually.

Moreover, he only expressed his love for me, and did not directly appoint a crown prince, so that he could effectively suppress other princes of the clan, so that they still had hope in their hearts, so that nothing would happen. "

Fusu smiled slightly, maybe she wanted to put on a sly look, but instead she looked more lively and lovely.

"So, I am the shield of the father."

"It's really a pity... Then, what does it have to do with the Twelve Goldens?" Jiang Liu asked.

"Who made the father leave suddenly!"

Fusu couldn't help complaining: "I didn't prepare at all when I left, and when everyone was in a panic, the White Huns in the north had already started to go south.

I was working as a supervisor at the Great Wall at the time, and my skin was much worse due to the wind and sun every day...cough!

After the Great Wall was breached by the White Huns, I returned to Xianyang with the remnants, and then... In short, many things happened. After such and such struggles, I was supported by the Great Wall Army and successfully boarded the second throne of the world.
