Chapter 564
Xianyang.

The waterside pavilions are clear, and the sound of the piano is melodious.

Wei Liao sat in the room until the sound of the zither stopped, and then he came back to his senses.

"Happy!"

After playing a piece, Nongyu stood up, bowed slightly, and left the piano room.

The room was empty and quiet, Wei Liao was sitting behind the desk, only seeing the water ripples outside the window lattice.Zhao Shuang's mansion was built near the lake, and this waterside pavilion was built beside the lake.

"The king of Qin adopted the strategy of attacking the beams with water, and Wang Ben has already begun to organize manpower to dig the river channel."

After Wei Liao finished speaking, Zhao Shuang, who was sitting opposite him, nodded slightly.

"Daliang is the strongest city in the world, dominating the Central Plains. It is a pity that the city will be damaged if it is attacked with water."

Wei Liao shook his head.

"Since a city has exposed its weaknesses, it will be breached sooner or later. Back then, King Hui moved his capital to Daliang, and the Wei family had operated for a hundred years, but it ended in this way. It can only be said that it is God's will."

Wei Liao raised the teacup in his hand and looked at the tea leaves floating in the rough clay cup. It was hard to imagine that this was the way the powerful Lord Hanyang of the state of Qin entertained guests.

Before the melancholy in Wei Liao's heart completely dissipated, he was overwhelmed by Zhao Shuang's stinginess.

"I'm talking about Mr. Hanyang, although we can't say that we are close friends, but we are familiar with each other. When you entertain me, at least put a few more tea leaves."

Zhao Shuang smiled and waved his hand.

"Master Guowei is really good at joking. Who in Xianyang City doesn't know how poor I am. Don't look at the vastness of this mansion, but it costs money everywhere. I usually don't put tea when I drink it myself."

Wei Liao rolled his eyes and gained a new understanding of Zhao Shuang's stinginess.

"The Kingdom of Wei will be destroyed, what does Lord Hanyang think of the situation in the Kingdom of Chu?"

"Chu is a big country, it is not so easy to solve."

Zhao Shuang just said it, but didn't say anything, it seemed a bit secretive.

Chu State was a big country with a distance of five thousand miles, and it was on par with Qin State.However, because of the wrong policy of King Huai of Chu and Bai Qi's unparalleled general talent, Chu State was completely defeated in the struggle for hegemony with Qin State.

The state of Chu was completely lost in Hanzhong and Nanyang, and even the capital Ying was lost.But even so, Chu State is still a big country.

"Without the strategy proposed by Mr. Changping, the Qin army would not be able to complete the encirclement of Daliang so quickly."

After the Qin State destroyed Yanzhao, it began to adjust the layout of the iron industry across the country, and some of them were concentrated in the Wancheng area.This has the meaning of preparing for Chu Chu.

In addition, Qin State hoarded supplies on the Qin-Chu border and sent additional soldiers and horses, so that Chu State did not dare to go north to help Wei with all its strength.Wang Ben took the opportunity to go south, broke through many cities in the north of Chu State, and completed the siege of Daliang.

Among them, Mr. Changping contributed a lot.

The identity of Changping Jun as the son of Chu State has great influence among Chu people.In this turbulent end of the world, the influence of bloodlines is still huge.With his call, the Chu city that was captured by the Qin army can quickly restore order.

This is of great benefit to the Qin army's strategy.

Now everyone in Xianyang thinks that Lord Changping is working so hard for the sake of his son Fusu, and wants to revitalize the Chu family.

After all, after the death of the Empress Dowager Huayang, the Chu family lost its last pillar of support, and was completely suppressed by the aristocratic family in the political struggle of the Qin State.

But Wei Liao didn't think so.He met Mr. Changping, although he was not familiar with him, he knew that this was a person who would not let others down.

Lord Changping is in his prime, while his son Fusu is still young. It will take at least ten years before he can exert influence and start to establish his own power.By that time, Mr. Changping was old.

And this is only the first step in revitalizing the Chu Clan.

Mr. Changping doesn't look like someone who can wait for so long!

After he resigned from the prime minister, he lived in seclusion, until now, he came out and worked hard to pave the way for the Qin army.The meaning is really unpredictable.

As Wei Liao spoke, he looked at Zhao Shuang, the Hanyang Lord who was not yet in his thirties.

Compared with Mr. Changping, this one is more calm.

"Speaking of which, Lord Hanyang's tribe is also very far from Chu State!"

Wei Liao smiled and spoke.

Back then, when Qin and Chu fought for hegemony, the tribes on the border between the two countries were headed toward Qin and Mu at both ends.Although Zhao Shuang now ranks as Lord Hanyang, those black histories are rarely mentioned or known, but they are still sensitive.

Zhao Shuang smiled and didn't care at all.

"Back then, the Chu family was very powerful, so many people wanted to connect with the Chu family. If there was no such relationship, the Empress Dowager Huayang would not have arranged this marriage for me."

After Wei Liao heard this, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.After the collapse of King Qin Zhaoxiang, the Queen Mother Huayang and Lu Buwei allied to allow King Zhuangxiang to ascend the throne. Since then, the Chu family has gradually grown in Qin.When Lu Buwei was expelled, the influence of the Chu family reached its peak.

But time has changed, and now the Chu family has declined, and even has no contact with the power of the family.This marriage was even gradually forgotten by the world.

"Then what does Lord Hanyang think?"

"Daughter-in-law picked up for nothing, don't want it for nothing."

Zhao Shuang's answer was simple and rude.

However, Wei Liao's thoughts were more complex.

Now the aristocratic clan is powerful and has completely monopolized the business road from Guanzhong to Yuezhi.However, the members of these aristocratic clans did not quickly become corrupt because of the large amount of money they obtained. Instead, they used the huge amount of financial resources to arm their own private soldiers and manage their own fiefdoms.

A handsome horse with a good bow, a fine armor and a sharp knife.

The private soldiers of the aristocratic forces are quite elite, except for maintaining the necessary guarding force of the fief, they are all integrated into the two border armies and fight against the Hu Qiang tribe all the year round.

In the future, unless these two armies are suddenly destroyed, the clan forces will still have great influence in Qin.

If Mr. Changping really wanted to support his son Fusu step by step, then the first step would be to seek reconciliation with the clan forces.

This marriage is the best breakthrough.

Wei Liao was originally puzzled and wanted to find out what Zhao Shuang said.But now, looking at Zhao Shuang's appearance, he was even more puzzled.

Today's Zhao Shuang makes Wei Liao feel that he is a gentleman and a gentleman.

The so-called "the past is like smoke, and all grievances and hatred are wiped out with a smile".

But the question is, is Zhao Shuang that kind of person?
Changping Palace.

"Uncle, what is this?"

Mi Lian watched Chang Wenjun walk up to her with a box, and asked curiously.

"Your dowry!"

Mi Lian blushed and said angrily.

"Uncle, you are making fun of me."

Chang Wenjun smiled.

"This is the luminous pearl given to Eldest Brother by the King of Qin, named 'Remaining Dust'. Eldest Brother is planning to use it as your dowry when you get married."

Mi Lian opened it and was shocked by the brilliance of this luminous pearl.

"so beautiful."

Chang Wenjun handed the box to Mi Lian and asked.

"Lian'er, remember, this box is of great importance, and it must not be lost at any time."

Mi Lian is a little strange, shouldn't the precious one be this luminous pearl?

"Don't worry, I'll keep it close to you."

Seeing Mi Lian walking away with the box in her arms, Chang Wenjun's face darkened, revealing a little shame.

"Lian'er, I'm sorry. Maybe this time I'm going to put you in danger!"
