No matter how generous the conditions are, our Majesty cannot agree! "

 "Why?" Chen Ping was even more puzzled.

 "Because, General Zhou Bo officially surrendered to His Majesty a month ago, and now he is an official of our Great Qin Dynasty, and has nothing to do with you. How can he redeem someone?"

 Guo Jia narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.

 "What, Zhou Bo surrendered? How is that possible!"

 Chen Ping was also taken aback, and couldn't help shouting out, which surprised him too much.

 "Why, envoy Chen thinks that I will still lie to you?"

 Guo Jia said in a cold voice with a straight face.

 "No, no, that's not what I meant, it's just..."

 Speaking of this, Chen Ping couldn't continue.

 He couldn't say that we had received definite information before that Zhou Bo had never surrendered to you for more than two years. How could it be such a coincidence that he would surrender to you right now, who is he lying to?

 "However, if Zhou Bo hadn't surrendered.

 At the price of the five cities we offered, it is impossible for Hu Hai not to promise us to redeem Zhou Bo.

 Could it be that Hu Hai thinks that the value of the five cities is not as good as Zhou Bo alone?Not too possible.

 If you look at it this way, it is very likely that something happened around Zhou Bo during this period of time, which shook his will and made him surrender to the Qin people.

 If this is the case, then things will be difficult to handle. "

 Chen Ping thought very quickly in his heart.

 "Okay, envoy Chen, His Majesty has said that you should go back.

 Go back and inform the kings of Qi and Han to gather their troops as soon as possible. A month later, Songshan will form an alliance and send troops to attack Chu. "

 After Guo Jia finished speaking to Chen Ping, he left.

 Chen Ping's face was gloomy.

 "My lord, it's impossible. That Guo Jia must have lied to us. General Zhou will never surrender to the Qin people."

 Zhou Geng leaned over, determined not to believe what Guo Jia said.

 "People's hearts change."

 Chen Ping said coldly.

 "Impossible, Big Brother Zhou followed Pei Gong to rebel against Qin, how could he surrender to the Qin people.

 This must be a tactic by the Qin people, Master Chen must not be fooled! "

 Zhou Geng said eagerly.

 "I will send someone to investigate this matter. If Zhou Bo really surrendered to the Qin people, then we will not be able to redeem him."

 "My lord, let the humble official handle this matter."

 Zhou Geng volunteered.

 "Well, be careful, don't make too much noise, this is Xianyang after all, don't be reckless, act cautiously.

 Now, it is a critical moment for our three alliances to attack Chu, let alone make mistakes, do you understand? "

 Chen Ping warned Zhou Geng, worried that he would do something out of line.

 "Master Chen, don't worry, the humble official knows, and won't act recklessly."

 "That's good, you investigate as soon as possible.

 If there is no accident, we will leave Xianyang in three days. "

 "So fast!" Zhou Geng was surprised.

 "Ah."

 "Okay, I'll go down and make arrangements."

 Two days later, Zhou Geng, with a dejected face, found Chen Ping.

 "What's the matter, have you checked it out?"

 Chen Ping asked.

 "Zhou Bo really surrendered to the people of Qin, thanks to my trust in him before, he betrayed his lord and served the tyrant Hu Hai.

 I am really blind, he is no longer my old brother Zhou. "

 At this time, Zhou Geng shouted with anger on his face.

 "What's the situation, tell me in detail."

 Chen Ping asked with a solemn expression.

 "Zhou Bo has always been guarded by secret Qin guards, our people can't get close to him, we can only observe from a distance.

 However, the Qin official named Guo Jia was right, Zhou Bo really served as an official for the Qin people again, although he was only a minor official.

 Even, Zhou Bo had already married a wife in Xianyang, and his wife was even pregnant.

 Our people saw with their own eyes that Zhou Bo was wandering in a courtyard with a pregnant woman. "

 Zhou Geng explained what they saw to Chen Ping in detail.

 Seeing this, Zhou Geng decided that Zhou Bo had really surrendered to the Qin people.

 In fact, Zhou Geng didn't know that what they saw was exactly what Xu Feng wanted them to see.

 After hearing what Zhou Geng said, Chen Ping always felt that something was wrong there, but he couldn't tell for a while.

 However, Chen Ping will return to Shuzhong tomorrow, so he cannot stay in Xianyang any longer, and there is no time for them to investigate in detail.

 Now that Zhou Geng has found out that Zhou Bo has really surrendered to Daqin, he can no longer ask Xu Feng for his redemption.

 "Hey, people have their own ambitions, Zhou Bo didn't let us down.

 He was born and died many times for the lord, and he persisted in Xianyang for two years, which is enough.

 We are sorry for him, and took so long to rescue him. "

 Chen Ping sighed and said.

 "But... he was betrayed after all."

 Zhou Geng on the side still couldn't let go, he didn't have such a broad mind as Chen Ping.

 "Forget it, don't mention it again.

 You go down and make arrangements, we will return to Shuzhong tomorrow, and the Qi envoys have already left today. "

 Chen Ping ordered.

 "No." Zhou Geng replied dejectedly.

 "Chen Ping is gone?"

 On the second day, Xu Feng summoned Guo Jia in the palace and asked.

 "Yes, Your Majesty."

 "Just go."

 "Your Majesty, this time, at Chen Ping's request, we will open up trade routes between central Shu and central Guan in the future, so as to open up trade between the two places.

 Chen Ping hopes that we can sell more materials such as white paper, liquor, and cloth to them.

 The ministers agreed, and they will send someone over after a while to contact us. "

 Guo Jia said.

 "Well, business is fine.

 In addition to military items, other commodities can be sold, and the supply of white paper can also be increased. "

 Xu Feng nodded.

 Xu Feng absolutely supports Daqin's business with Liu Bang, Han Xin and others.

 Commerce can exchange for more money and food for Daqin.

 In particular, Daqin holds white paper, white wine, silk and other exclusive popular products, and can definitely get more money and food from Qi and Han.

 Conquest requires money and food, and Zhuge Liang's New Deal reform in Daqin requires money and food support.

 That's why Xu Feng agreed to join forces with Han Xin and Liu Bang to attack Chu this time, not land, but population, money and food.

 In Xu Feng's view, land is not important, and population, money and food are the foundation of the struggle for hegemony in troubled times.

 As long as you have food and soldiers in your hands, and your soldiers are strong and your horses are strong, you will not be able to take back any number of territories.

 "Send an order to Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, and Zhao Yun to gather troops and send them out in half a month.

 In addition, tell the Taiwei that the recruiting and training of recruits must continue. "

 Immediately, Xu Feng issued an order.

 Half a month later, Xu Feng took Guo Jia, Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, and Zhao Yun with [-] troops, [-] cavalry, and [-] infantry to leave Xianyang.

 Five days later, Xu Feng led the army to Hangu Pass, and a week later, they entered Luoyang.

 At this time, there were exactly three days before the time they agreed on for the Songshan League meeting.

 The time has also come to the end of September in the sixth year of Qin II, and October will soon come. Once October arrives, it will be the seventh year of Qin II.

 "There are still two years left, time is running out!"

 Standing in Luoyang's palace, Xu Feng looked at the yellow leaves all over the ground, and the cool breeze was blowing, but he felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

 It took exactly three years for Xu Feng to come to Daqin, and the time limit given to him by the system to reunify Daqin was five years.

 In other words, in the remaining two years, he needs to destroy the three powerful enemies Xiang Yu, Han Xin and Liu Bang in order to complete the final task of the system.

 "Hey, do your best.

 This damn broken system has been silent for a while, not even sending out missions.

 If I don't send missions, how can I get the points and how can I quickly unify the world. "

 Xu Feng complained with resentment in his heart.

 "Ding, the host's resentment has been detected, and a new task is released: Songshan League.

 If you succeed, you will be rewarded with [-] points; if you fail, you will not be punished.

 The feng shui turns, and it's time for Xiang Yu to feel the taste of crusade, and the old enmity will never be forgotten. "

 At this time, a mechanical voice from the system sounded in Xu Feng's mind.

 "I'll go, it's all fine!"

 Xu Feng didn't expect that he could have such a pleasant surprise just by complaining casually.

 "If I knew this was the case, I would have complained.

 The task released by the system this time is simply a welfare task!

 This thousand points is completely equivalent to giving away for nothing!

 Although [-] points is not enough, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat! "

 Xu Feng couldn't help being surprised.

 "Report, Your Majesty, there is news from Liu Zhan, governor of Nanyang County, that the Han army of more than 20 troops has assembled in Deng County.

 Liu Zhan, the governor of Nanyang County, asked whether to open the road and let some Han troops go north. "

 Soon, Xu Feng received news from Nanyang in Luoyang.

 "Heh, Liu Bang dispatched more than 20 horses this time, which is a big deal."

 After hearing the report from his subordinates, Xu Feng showed a sneer on his face.

 "Go back and tell Liu Zhan, the governor of Nanyang County, to let him open a passage and let a part of the Han army go north, and the rest of the Han army is not allowed to cross the border."

 Xu Feng gave instructions.

 When he was in Xianyang, he told Chen Ping that Liu Bang was only allowed to take [-] Han troops across Nanyang during the alliance.
