The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Six days passed in a flash.

Xiao Rui and his party went to the west for Baili, and then to the northwest. Now it is only three days away from the border of Xia State to reach Xiangzhou. If you go west for a few days, it will be the territory of Zhao Kingdom.

Xiao Rui hesitated again and again, and finally asked Guo Jia's opinion, but instead of killing Zhao Kuang, he continued to tie it up for emergencies. There were no surprises or dangers along the way, and he walked smoothly, allowing Xiao Rui to rest for a few days.

But Xiao Rui soon became bored and began to scold the system.

Look at my current advent value, which is only a pitiful 0/100, but my wish value is not bad, reaching 3/4. The arrival of Chen Qingzhi, Gong Yechang and Han Xin pushed the wish value to such a high level in one fell swoop.

So Xiao Rui was anxious for the task, but the system just couldn't make a fart with a stick, so he started to shrink his head.

No, I ridiculed the system again. The other party was still silent, so Xiao Rui could only shake his head and sigh.

Seeing nightfall, when everyone thought they were going to spend the night in the wilderness again, Li Yuanfang suddenly saw the rising smoke not far away, and smiled: "Your Highness, there should be a village in front of you!"

"Hurry up, go there for a night before the sun goes down," Xiao Rui ordered.

Several people immediately speeded up and hurried down to the outside of the village in the sunset.

This is a small but very quiet village, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and a rice field not far away. At this time, there are frogs and fireflies flashing.

There is a big banyan tree at the head of the village. It looks very old, with a huge canopy like a canopy. At this time, a few old men were sitting under the tree chatting, watching the sudden arrival of the crowd, all watching vigilantly.

Li Yuanfang stepped forward and asked, "Old man, what village is this? I don't know where it is? Our group is a business traveler. It's getting late through this place. I want to spend the night. I don't know it is feasible?"

Among the four elders, an old man with a withered face stood up, arched his hands, and said: "The old man is the Lizheng of this village. We are in Zhangjia Village. There are only more than 20 households. It is the northernmost village in Yan State. Going north, you will soon reach the territory of Xia and Zhao. Are you going to Xia or Zhao?"

Li Yuanfang was taken aback, but still said: "We are going to Xiangzhou in Xia Country. Now Xia and Yan are in alliance and exchange business frequently. Doesn't the old gentleman know?"

"Oh, it's going to Xia Country!" The old man's cautious expression immediately eased, and the other three old men also put away their vigilance.

The old man said again: "Of course you are welcome, but the village is simple, and few outsiders come. If the reception is not good, please forgive me. In addition, the villagers rarely see outsiders and are afraid of living, so I hope you don't walk around!"

Li Yuanfang nodded and said: "The elderly can rest assured, we only need to find a place to stay overnight and leave tomorrow morning. We bring our own dry food, so there is no need to bother the elderly. Also disturb your village, who is embarrassed, please smile!"

With that, Li Yuanfang took out an ingot of silver and presented it to the old man.

The old man was startled, and then he declined, saying: "You can come here because of fate. You can't collect this money, please come into the village!"

The old man refused to accept, so Li Yuanfang didn't force it, so he took the carriage and followed the old man into the village.

Xiao Rui and Guo Jia sat in the carriage and looked at the village through the bamboo curtain. The presence of their group naturally aroused the vigilance of the villagers. They walked out of the house and stood in the courtyard looking around.

The low wall also allowed Xiao Rui and Guo Jia to see the situation of these villagers. Guo Jia immediately discovered the problem and said, "His Royal Highness, you see, there are no grown-up males in the village. They are all old, weak, women and children."

Xiao Rui also saw it. The women and children put their arms around their children and looked at them vigilantly, with vigilance and panic in their eyes.

Soon, the carriage came to a house and pointed at the house and said, "This is my son's house. Now the house is empty. I often clean it. You can rest here today."

"Thank you, old man!" Guo Jia stepped out of the carriage and arched his hands at the old man.

The old man looked at Guo Jiawen with good manners, a book of loyalty, and a good impression suddenly, and he also replied: "Good son!"

Guo Jia asked puzzledly: "The old man, I took the liberty to say that when we entered the village, we found that there were no grown-ups in your village. They were all young and old, women and children. I wonder if they are?"

The old man couldn't help sighing when he heard it, and said, "Where is the man? He hasn't been conscripted yet."

"Recruited?" Guo Jia was surprised, and said: "The enlistment order of Yan State is to choose one male as a **** in each household. Even if other males want to be soldiers, they are only envy pawns, but why are all males in your village? Called up?"

This remark seemed to untie the old man’s scars, and his face was full of grief, saying: “In other words, who told our village to be close to the border, and there are often frictions between Yan and Zhao. Don’t let go of any of the strong men, so that there will be no men in every village. All three of my sons went to the border, and two died, only one is left."

Having said that, the old man shed tears.

Guo Jia apologized: "Old man, I'm sorry, it evoked your sadness!"

The old man waved his hand and said, "Hey, it has nothing to do with you, it's all Zhao Guo's fault!"

Guo Jia nodded, no wonder they said they were going to Xia Country, these old people would relax their vigilance, it turns out that their family members died in Zhao Guo's hands.

As the saying goes, you can see all the leopards at a glance. Yan Guo's border wars are tense, resulting in a shortage of troops, and then forcibly recruiting troops, it is not easy to worsen the situation. Villages like Zhangjiacun are everywhere. For a long time, the village only relied on the support of the old and the weak. The village was desolate and withered. Although the village is small, it is the smallest unit that makes up a country and best reflects the rise and fall of a country.

As the weakest country among the seven countries, Yan is far inferior to the surrounding countries both militarily and economically, and it still lives in the cracks between them. How can it be miserable?

In addition, when Xiao Rui thought of the drunken lives and dreams of the high-ranking officials and nobles in Yandu City, it was really a strong contrast, a clear contrast.

After the old man left, Xiao Rui got out of the carriage and went into the house to rest.

After a rest in Zhangjiacun for a night, everyone set off early the next morning, not wanting to disturb the peace of Zhangjiacun. They continued to go north, walked for another day, and came to a three-way intersection.

Heading to the northwest, two days' journey to the Xifeng Pass, which borders the Kingdom of Yan and Zhao, and to the northeast, to the Dongfeng Pass, which borders the Kingdom of Yan and Xia. As long as you pass the Dongfeng Pass, you will reach the boundary of Xiaguo Xiangzhou a dozen miles north, and you will not be far from where Chen Qingzhi is stationed when you continue to the northwest.

When a group of people approached Dongfeng Pass, they noticed something was wrong.

Because of the alliance between Xia and Yan, Dongfeng Pass, as a trade gateway, is far less demanding than Xifeng Pass. Only a few merchant groups will go to Zhao State, but a large number of merchants come and go to Xia State, so Dongfeng Pass does not care about it. You need to search when you come in, and you only need to register to go out. But at this time, the security card was set up, and it seemed that they were searching for someone.

Guo Jia stopped the horse and sent Han Xin to check.

Han Xin is a native of Yan, and will not arouse suspicion. He will come back soon after he left.

"His Royal Highness, we can't make it. Yanxifeng, the prince Yanxifeng, has issued a wanted order for every pass to the country of Yan, with the heads of His Highness and Mr. Fengxiao, and every carriage and horse must be searched." Han Xin returned and said.

Xiao Rui and Guo Jia looked at each other, and Guo Jia smiled and said, "Although Yan Xifeng is crazy, but he is smart. He realizes the terrible gunpowder and absolutely must catch His Highness. It seems that it is not easy to pass easily, or Detour other trails."

There is a mountain range between Xifeng Pass and Dongfeng Pass, so Yan Kingdom can establish a border pass. The natural mountain range is like the Great Wall of China. But the mountains are not the Great Wall after all. They cannot be strong and coherent. Some mountains are towering and some places are low, so Zhao Guo can enter the country of Yan through other paths.

But east of Dongfeng Pass, the mountain range gradually lowered, and it only stretched for fifty to sixty miles before it lost its height. Therefore, the border between the two countries to the east is flat. The Yan state cannot defend the whole line. It can only retreat to the south bank of the Yanjiang River and choose a place for defense.

At this time, Dongfeng Pass cannot be passed, so you can only go eastward, and there will be no soldiers guarding it, but there is no official road, and the wilderness trails are bumpy and difficult, so you will have to abandon the carriage and change to horses. If you make a detour, you will have to add another three or four days to the journey.

At this time, Han Xin smiled and said, "His Royal Highness, Mr. Fengxiao, I have a suggestion."

"Oh? Speaking quickly." Xiao Rui's eyes lit up and asked quickly.

Han Datong: "Since the Dongfeng Pass is searching for His Highness, why not move the tiger away from the mountain? Pretending to be a traveler, I accidentally saw the portrait of the man who was hunting down, leading away the generals and a large number of guards at Dongfeng Pass, and then His Highness and Guo Jiaqiao dressed up and passed the customs. The officers who paid the check with money and money can pass the border quickly. I just noticed that the officers who searched are also responsible for the work. Some people carried prohibited items in the carriage, and they were allowed to secretly match some silver and were released."

Guo Jia smiled and nodded, not surprised. It seemed that he had already thought of a way, but he just didn't say it. He was giving Han Xin a chance to play. Han Xin saved His Royal Highness and himself, and Guo Jia recognized him quite well, so he wanted him to perform, so that he could gain even greater trust from Xiao Rui.

In fact, Guo Jiaduo was worried, who is Han Xin, and what ability does Xiao Rui have?

Xiao Rui immediately agreed with this suggestion.

Afterwards, Xiao Rui and Guo Jia dressed up, while Han Xin went to Dongfeng Pass alone, immediately released the wanted warrant, and was then taken by the soldiers to see the general of Xifeng Pass.

Commenting on Han Xin's eloquence ~www.ltnovel.com~ directly convinced the general to believe his words, and then immediately summoned the soldiers and drove Han Xin toward the other side's hiding place.

As soon as the people left, Xiao Rui and his group began to pass the pass, and it was their turn soon. Li Yuanfang gave the money vaguely, and the soldiers dealt with it hastily, and quickly passed the pass safely.

They slowed down after they went north for more than a dozen miles. After half an hour, Han Xin chased him up.

"I led the general into a forest and turned back. Even if he realized that he was deceived, he would not dare to go out of the city to pursue him when he returned to Dongfeng Pass. One is that Xia Guo's site is about to come, if he steps over It means aggression. Secondly, if Yanxifeng knows that he has been tricked, the person may be released, and he will even be unable to eat and walk around!" Han Xin smiled.

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "Thanks for your hard work."

Han Xin respectfully said: "His Royal Highness is serious, this is what the next person should do."

"Okay! Then let's continue on our way!" Xiao Rui raised his head and pointed to the northwest, and immediately entered the boundary of Yan Kingdom. His heart also stabilized, and he finally returned to his home court.
