Chapter 155 Invincible

At the beginning of the night, the lanterns are shining brightly.

The carriage was rolling, with lanterns hung on both sides of the carriage, and it stopped in front of a house.

"My lord, it has arrived."

With a sword in her hand and a full body armor, Bai Lu rode on a horse and followed beside the carriage.

"understood!"

Zhao Shuang's voice came from the carriage, Bai Lu waved her hand, and the [-] soldiers behind the carriage were divided into five teams, surrounded the courtyard, stationed in various places, and occupied key passes.

This is a mountain house, covering a vast area, located on the south bank of the Wei River, sixty or seventy miles away from Xianyang, very close to the Ion Meridian Road.The land near the house was given to Zhao Shuang by the state of Qin as a place to rest in Beijing.

I don't know who and when this house was built. We only know that there is a hot spring in the house, which was originally a palace for a prince to recuperate.

Later, it was passed down from generation to generation that with the change of power, the ownership of this house changed, and it was also transformed, and its owner finally became Zhao Shuang.

Since the beginning of construction, this house has a semi-military nature, and many buildings and pavilions have been built.Among them, there are both leisure and living quarters, and some are completely defensive military facilities.

After all, this is a wild place, full of bandits.

Stables, granaries, arsenals, long houses for soldiers to rest, and even places where maids and servants live, all the facilities are available.

The center of the yard is the main house, and the backyard connected to it is messy with trees. There is a hot spring inside, which is the hot spring institute.

Zhao Shuang walked into the main house, and there was a musty smell inside, as if no one had been here for a long time.

Under Bai Lu's command, the five hundred soldiers began to familiarize themselves with the terrain and set up patrol positions.A group of concubines entered the inner courtyard and began to clean the courtyard.

Zhao Shuang walked out of the house. Beyond the eaves was a pool of stagnant water, green algae and stench, lifeless.

"My lord, the spies have returned. All the water sources in the vicinity have been identified. In addition to the five wells in the courtyard, there are three mountain springs, two dark springs, and a small stream in the mountain. This courtyard can accommodate thousands of people. The COFCO grass is full and can last for a year.”

Zhao Shuang nodded and sat down.

"I will give you three thousand gold to buy food, fodder and other supplies. Then go find a hundred craftsmen to repair the yard inside and out."

"promise!"

Bai Lu responded first, and then her face was full of doubts.

"My lord, since we have already met the King of Qin, why don't we go back to our own territory? Everything in Xianyang is expensive. I've been shopping for a few days, and we can't even buy a lamb leg here with the money we buy a sheep."

Zhao Shuang smiled, looked at the puzzled expression on the other party's face, and shook his head.

"We have to stay here for a long time."

Lu Buwei is good at calculating, and putting Zhao Shuang here is like putting him under the eyes of everyone.

Moreover, although the land near this house was given to Zhao Shuang, it was all wild land with no income.

In other words, although there is military value here, stationing soldiers here is a pure waste of money, and Zhao Shuang has to pay for it himself.

In order to gain a foothold in the situation in Xianyang, in addition to military strength, financial resources are also important.Lu Buwei was born as a merchant, so he naturally understood this truth.

In the current situation, in addition to the comparison of forces between the parties on the bright side, the most important thing is the competition of financial resources.One of the most important conditions for defeating the opponent is to figure out the opponent's financial resources, and even to extinguish it.

Compared with Wen Xinhou's [-] households in Luoyi, the fiefdoms of Lord Chang'an and Lord Changping are poor and weak, and self-sufficient, but it is very difficult to send troops to the outside world and carry out a long-term war of attrition.

This is also the reason why Lu Buwei didn't regard Zhao Shuang as an enemy at first, and Cheng Yu gave him two thousand gold.

Although Lu Buwei temporarily reconciled with Zhao Shuang, it did not mean that he became friends. On the contrary, giving him such a seemingly luxurious house was actually consuming Zhao Shuang's financial resources.

"That's really not cheap."

Bai Lu murmured, seemingly distressed.

Yandi is bitterly cold, and when it is mid-winter, heavy snow falls, and the earth is white.

In the prince's mansion, Yan Dan closed his eyes.

Qin Jun retreated, Yan Zhao repaired, Yan Dan was busy with other matters, and did not rest until now.

"His Royal Highness!"

The six-fingered black man held Mo Mei in his hand and entered the Prince's Mansion of Yan Kingdom. Without disturbing a single guard, he went straight to Yan Dan.

"Giant!"

The two sat opposite each other, and Six Fingers Heixia placed Mo Mei in front of him.

There were only two people sitting in the palace, which seemed a bit empty, and there was no one around.

"In the land of Qin and Chu, the power of the Mohist family has grown rapidly. Now there are 5000 registered Mohists, only under the peasant family. But, what is the identity of this Mohist leader?"

"Why does His Royal Highness want to know his identity?"

The question of the six-fingered black man did not make Yan Dan any doubts.

"A few days ago, Zhao Shuang, the Hanyang Lord of the Qin State, was in the Xianyang Palace, and he did not deny the Qin's desire to destroy the six kingdoms. The general is in the land of Qin and Chu, but his style of conduct is very different from that of the Mohists in the past. The giant is really not worried. , Will the Mohist get involved in the turmoil between Qin and the Six Kingdoms?"

"The Mohists should abide by the principle of universal love and non-aggression."

"But the commander did not do this. He helped Tianze restore the country and set off a war between Dongyue and Chu. For this reason, Chu regarded our Mo family as an enemy. Let Li Kai return to the Korean court and get involved in Korean political affairs .Once it fails, our Mo family will suffer the rest. And now the Mo Xia under the command of the great commander has formed its own faction, and he is the only one who follows his orders and hardly obeys the orders of the organ city."

Having said that, Yan Dan looked at Six Fingers Heixia and asked.

"Is the giant really not worried?"

Yandan's problems were very real. When Zhao Shuang was in charge of the Mohist forces in the land of Qin and Chu, he first kicked out the Mohist disciples who were born in aristocratic backgrounds, and then arbitrarily installed his own troops.

Today, most of the Mo Xia in the land of Qin and Chu are recruited and promoted by Zhao Shuang alone, and the rest of the leaders can't intervene at all.Of the five thousand ink heroes, only he obeyed.

Hearing this, Six Fingers Heixia asked a question.

"What does His Royal Highness think about the future of the Mo family?"

"Unite people with lofty ideals in the world to resist the tyranny of Qin."

Yan Dan didn't shy away from saying it, and said it bluntly.

Six Fingers Heixia laughed and nodded.There was doubt in Yan Dan's eyes, and he didn't understand why there was a sense of pleasure in the words of the Black Man with Six Fingers.

"Very well, His Royal Highness, just do it!"

"Giant, what do you mean?"

Yan Dan sat up straight, as if inspired, he raised his hand, and Six Fingers Heixia had already stood up.

For hundreds of years in the Warring States Period, all schools of thought are looking for their own way out.The same is true for the Mohists.

Six Fingers Heixia walked away slowly, and before leaving, he left a sentence that Yan Dan didn't understand at all.

"At the end of the world, no matter how the world changes, the Mohists are already invincible."
