The Jagged Empire of Daqin

"It seems that the folk rumors are not false at all!" Li Zheng looked very solemn.

Wu Yang turned his head to look at Li Zheng, and asked with a puzzled expression, "What folk rumors?"

Li Zheng said in a dignified tone: "Folk rumors say that King Wu of Qin Bai Qi descended from a god, and Qin's army is also a heavenly soldier and general. Any target they want to attack must be conquered and won, and there will be no disadvantages!"

"Although I, Wu Yang, can't read Chinese characters, the rumors are so fake, I have to believe it!" Wu Yang is not an atheist, on the contrary, he still believes in gods, but the gods descending from the earth and the heavenly soldiers and generals are a bit ridiculous. Really, the world has long belonged to Daqin.

"Phew!" Li Zheng took a deep breath, "I don't believe it either, but the strength shown by the Qin army is no worse than the legendary heavenly soldiers and generals. A Great Wall with 25 elite troops stationed by the Qin army is less than three Fragrant time has been broken, even if Qin Jun is not a real heavenly soldier and general, he is no different from a heavenly soldier and general!"

Although it is not a heavenly soldier, it is comparable to a heavenly soldier!

Although it is not a god, it is comparable to a god!

This is the evaluation of countless common people on Qin Jun and Bai Qi!

"This..." Wu Yang was at a loss for words for a while, and he didn't know what words to use to refute. Yes, although Qin Jun is not a real heavenly soldier, his strength is no different from that of the legendary heavenly soldier. King Qin Wu is no different from a god. In a short time, the enemy will be cut a thousand steps away.

"Do we still have hope?" Wu Yang was devastated, like an eggplant beaten by frost, without any energy to speak of.

This is the horror of the Qin army. Before it comes, it will make people fear, doubt themselves, and finally give up resistance and surrender obediently.

Li Zheng straightened his face, bowed down with a very solemn expression and shouted: "Everything is up to Lord Hou. Whatever Lord Hou wants to do, Li Zheng will do. No matter whether Lord Hou chooses to resist or surrender, Li Zheng will follow him to the death. No regrets!"

"Resistance?" Wu Yang laughed at himself, "Although I am Lord Marquis, I am equal to Liu Zhendong, but in terms of power, I am far inferior to Liu Zhendong. He has been defeated so completely, what can my [-] soldiers and horses cause? storm!"

"Does Hou Ye want to surrender?" Li Zheng asked without hesitation.

Wu Yang nodded, "To be honest, I have this idea, but I am worried that Emperor Qin will not let me go!"

He is notorious, he has killed innocent people, raped good women, eaten good people and served as prostitutes, and killed innocent people without authorization. These are the normal state of his life. If the people of Yan didn't kill him, the people of Qin would kill him, and even took his head to appease the people and win the hearts of the people.

"Those people are damned, you are not guilty!" Li Zhengyi retorted angrily.

The innocents Wu Yang killed were innocent in the eyes of the common people, but in the eyes of Wu Yang and Li Zheng, those innocents were not innocent, because these so-called innocents had all shown disgust because of their appearance.

Whether it is Wu Yang or Li Zheng, they all feel inferior because of their appearance, and it is because of their appearance that they have become what they are now. If you want to blame, blame those stupid innocents who only look at their appearance. If people in the world don't care about their appearance, how can they? Become the Big Boss of today.

The dragon has reverse scales, touching them will kill them, the two of them also have reverse scales, the reverse scales are their appearance, whoever shows disgust or disgust in front of the two of them will either die or be disabled!

They are already sick, but the sickness is forced out by those who only look at the appearance!

"Whether there is a crime or not is not up to you, nor up to me!" Wu Yang said weakly.

"Ah!" Li Zheng sighed heavily, and said worriedly: "Surrender is death, and not surrender is also death. What should we do? Is it possible that we will run into the mountains and become bandits again? But even so, Qin The army will definitely destroy us!"

"Wait, what did you just say?"

Wu Yang's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something.

Li Zheng was puzzled for a while, and he couldn't help frowning and replied: "I just said that surrender is death, and not surrender is death!"

"Not this sentence, but the next sentence!"

"Are we going to run into the mountains and become bandits again?" Li Zheng tentatively replied.

A gleam of hope flashed across Wu Yang's eyes, as if he saw the rest of his life, and immediately replied with a happy face: "Yes, we are going to run into the mountains, but we can't be bandits, or I will tell you Similarly, the Qin army will send troops to destroy us!"

"We took gold, silver and jewels, and the whole family, and fled into the deep mountains together. From now on, we don't care about the world and become people in the mountains. When the world is stable and everyone forgets us, we will take the family down the mountain and live a happy life." The lives of ordinary people, yes, this is what we want, in this way, we can save our lives, and we can also keep our glory and wealth, but we need to hide for a while!"

"Ah?" Li Zheng was taken aback for a moment, and said in astonishment, "This...can this be done? And...and..." Li Zheng looked at his weak body, and looked helplessly at Wu Yang Dao: "I don't know how to arrest either!"

With his small body and a weak scholar, he still fights, and the beast will be fine without him.

Wu Yang got up from the county magistrate's chair, patted Li Zheng's shoulder heavily, and said with a solemn expression: "Don't worry, as long as I, Wu Yang, have a bite of meat, you will definitely have it too. Our brothers and families share the same pot of rice. Sometimes I will call, and you stay at home to teach the children to read and write, there is a saying, each performs his duties, yes, each performs his duties!"

"This..." Li Zheng hesitated.

Escaping into the mountains means giving up everything you have now, and you will no longer have your previous status and identity. Although your current status and status is not particularly high, it is a country that has been worked hard day and night, and you just give up now. , I am really sorry.

Seeing Li Zheng's hesitation, Wu Yang immediately persuaded him: "Our little strength is not enough for the Qin army to get between the teeth. If we don't run now, we will be unable to run even if we want to when the Qin army soldiers approach the city. Therefore, we still Hurry up and make an idea, time waits for no one!"

In the face of power and life, Wu Yang chose the latter without hesitation, as the saying goes, the green hills are kept without worrying about firewood.

"Okay, then escape to the deep mountains and become a mountain dweller!" Under Wu Yang's persuasion, Li Zheng finally made up his mind and decided to follow Wu Yang into the deep mountains and old forests to become a free and easy mountain dweller.

"Okay, then let's leave Nanzhi overnight!" Wu Yang was overjoyed when he heard that.

Next, Wu Yang and Li Zheng started to pack their luggage secretly, taking away a lot of gold, silver and jewels. At the same time, they only wanted their own family members, and were ready to leave Nanzhi overnight.

At the same time, the Great Zhao Empire, Handan Imperial Capital, and Yushufang!

In the imperial study room, Zhao Dan, the emperor of the Great Zhao Empire, sat on the dragon chair and reviewed the memorials. After the strategy of cooperating with the Qin Dynasty, Zhao Dan was in a good mood. It's all better.

tread... tread...

In vain at this time, a sound of footsteps came from outside the hall, Zhao Dan looked up subconsciously, and saw Prime Minister Fang Ruhai walking into the imperial study with an ugly face, seeing Fang Ruhai's gloomy face, Zhao Dan's good mood suddenly sank.

"Your Majesty, the envoys from Qi, Han, Xia, and Chu have returned. The Emperor Qi refused to see the envoy Zhao and directly drove me out of the capital of Chandi. Emperor Xia's accidental killing of Prince Xia caused Emperor Xia to have no intention of meeting my envoy Zhao, and drove me envoy Zhao back.

"Compared to the failure of the Qi and Xia envoys, the mission to Chu and Zhao went relatively smoothly. He succeeded in meeting the Emperor Chu, but the Emperor Chu didn't understand the overall situation and refused to join forces to attack Qin. The most abominable thing is the Han Empire. Although he received my envoy Zhao, he humiliated me envoy Zhao in front of Han Chaochen!"

Fang Ruhai didn't make any detours or talk nonsense, and straight to the point told Zhao Dan the results of his mission to the four countries.

"What did you say!"

This sentence was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, which made Zhao Dan startled from the dragon chair, and looked at Fang Ruhai in disbelief!

If Emperor Qi and Emperor Han refused to join forces to attack Qin, this is also true. After all, one is a loyal ally of Qin Empire, and the other is a poor man who was beaten up by Zhao Empire. But what is the situation of Xia Empire and Chu Empire? The two emperors are not stupid either.

Moreover, it is a miracle that Emperor Xia killed Prince Xia!

"Your Majesty, the situation is far less optimistic than we imagined!" Fang Ruhai shook his head and sighed softly, no longer having any illusions about the joint attack on Qin.

It's true that he died before the teacher was born, and the plan was stillborn before the plan was launched.

"How could it be like this, how could it be like this, how could things have become like this..." Zhao Dan lost his mind for a moment and muttered absently.

Ever since the Empress Dowager Zhu proposed the strategy of jointly attacking Qin, he has seen the scene of the coalition forces of various countries attacking the Qin army, and even saw the Qin emperor lowering his proud head and surrendering to the emperors of other countries. As a result, the country was restored and once again became a constraint of the Qin Empire.

But Fang Ruhai's words completely shattered his fantasy and returned to the cruel reality.

As beautiful as the dream is, the reality is as cruel as it is. To accept the reality all of a sudden, Zhao Dan will be overwhelmed for a while.

"Your Majesty, Yichen sees that Qin can only be friendly with each other, not against him. Let's shelve the matter of resisting Qin for now!" Fang Ruhai bent over and suggested with a solemn expression.

"On hold?" Zhao Dan muttered to himself, and said in a daze again: "Is it possible to just watch the Yan Empire be annexed by the Qin Empire? The Qin Empire is already strong enough. If it is swallowed by the Yan Empire, the Qin Empire's territory will be even stronger. Thick, all time, fearing that all the countries in the northwest will fight together, and it will be difficult to stop the tiger and wolf Qin!"

"I, Da Zhao, have nothing to do but watch!" Fang Ruhai said helplessly. Has surrendered to the Qin Empire and officially belongs to the Qin Empire!"

"In addition, the Qin Empire has broken the Ningta Great Wall. According to the speed of the Qin army, it must have captured the entire territory of Huaibei County. Zheng Long's surrender and Liu Zhendong's disastrous defeat will definitely hit the confidence of the princes of the Yan Empire in resisting Qin. If as expected, there will be many princes and princes of Yan surrendering without a fight. The Qin Empire's destruction of Yan is irreversible. I ask Your Majesty to take the overall situation into consideration and send envoys to make peace with Qin. If possible, you can send the princess to make peace. Marry with Qin!"

"What did you say?" Zhao Dan's expression was dull, and he lost his mind for a while. Fang Ruhai's words were really too informative to accept.

Zheng Long, with millions of mercenaries, actually surrendered?Did Liu Zhendong fail miserably?And what did Fang Ruhai say, marrying Qin Lian?

"I just received the news that when the Qin army gathered troops on the Bailan Great Wall, Zheng Long personally went to the Qin army camp and surrendered to Emperor Qin. Afterwards, Emperor Qin led his army to attack the Great Wall of Ningta. Liu Zhendong, the Marquis of Huaibei, was actively preparing for the battle, ready to hold on to the Great Wall and resist Qin Jun!"

"Who would have imagined that Qin Jun invented a new type of weapon. This new type of weapon is a feathered arrow. It is rumored that the feathered arrow is hollow and filled with kerosene. Since the feathered arrow tube is made of fragile materials, As long as it bears a certain impact, the arrow tube will be damaged, and the kerosene in the arrow tube will overflow, and the kerosene will ignite when it meets the gas, and a big fire will ignite!"

"Relying on this kind of weapon, the Qin army broke through the Ningta Great Wall effortlessly. The whole process took less than three sticks of incense. Liu Zhendong, the Marquis of Huaibei, also killed himself. These are the news I just got, and I can guarantee that the news is very good. Accurate, without any exaggeration!"

In order to prevent Zhao Dan from thinking that this matter is too exaggerated, Fang Ruhai deliberately added a sentence that the minister can guarantee that the news is very accurate and not exaggerated. Breaking through a Great Wall guarded by 25 troops in the time of burning incense is really outrageous.

"Are you sure this is true? How is this possible!" Zhao Dan said with a look of disbelief.

Even if Fang Ruhai deliberately added a sentence, Zhao Dan still didn't believe the news was true. It wasn't because he didn't believe that Liu Zhendong was defeated and Zheng Long surrendered, but because he didn't believe that the Qin army broke through the Ningta Great Wall in three minutes.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter whether this is true or not. This damned Zheng Long, I thought he would fight Qin Jun desperately. Who would have imagined, but he is a coward. It is not as good as Liu Zhendong, who is waiting in the north of Yanhuai River. Although He was defeated, but at least he used his death to defend against the enemy's invasion, if this kind of person is in our Great Zhao Empire, I will definitely cut him to pieces!"

Zhao Dan is still wise, he didn't entangle whether the matter was true or false, he only cared about the present, but the matter in front of him made him very angry, Zheng Long, whom he had placed high hopes on, actually surrendered without sending a single soldier. What the hell, it's true that good things don't come in pairs, and bad things come one after another.

"Hey"

Fang Ruhai sighed heavily, he didn't want to go against it!

"Ugh"

Zhao Dan also sighed heavily, and said with a rather lonely expression: "Strengthen Qin and Zhao are weak, but there is no result in combining them, so where should my great Zhao go!"

At this moment, Zhao Dan was at a loss, as if the Kangzhuang Avenue in his heart was suddenly shrouded in thick fog, and he couldn't see the road ahead clearly, and didn't know where to go.

"Your Majesty, at present, my great Zhao can only marry the Qin Empire and form an alliance with it. No matter whether the marriage fails or the alliance fails, at least I can convey my great Zhao's friendly heart to the outside world. When the time comes, the Qin Empire will treat us. Do it, more or less will be a little scruples!"

PS: "The [-]-word super chapter is comparable to the previous three chapters!"

Chapter 685 Ten Great Families!

"Otherwise, the sword of the Qin Empire will definitely come to kill us after the Yan Empire has been cut down. I, Da Zhao, cannot fight against Qiang Qin. If I lose, I will lose the area north of the Yellow River. If I win, my national power will be greatly damaged. If the nations compete for supremacy, they will even be retaliated by the Han Empire!" Fang Ruhai said in a non-critical tone, insisting on maintaining the relationship between Qin and Zhao through marriage.

"Shame, great shame, I never imagined that during my reign, Dazhao would marry and seek peace. I am a king, how will I meet the late emperor after a hundred years!" Zhao Dan Indignantly, he beat the imperial case, secretly hating himself for being the shame of the successive emperors of the Great Zhao Empire.

Seeing Zhao Dan like this, Fang Ruhai felt ashamed in his heart. Being a minister made the king lose his prestige, a minister committed a serious crime, committed negligence of duty, and acted like a minister!

"Your Majesty, time waits for no one, this is something you can't do!" Fang Ruhai bent down and replied.

The situation is also a kind of trend, you must follow the trend, otherwise you will be swept away by the trend!

Zhao Dan fell silent, his brows lost in thought, Fang Ruhai didn't say a word, and waited quietly for Zhao Dan to make up his mind. After some time, Zhao Dan got up from the dragon chair, walked to the bookshelf in the corner, and took out the bookcase from it. A thick book with four large black characters written on the cover:

Zhao Family Tree

After getting the Zhao family tree, Zhao Dan walked back to the dragon chair, put the Zhao family tree on the imperial case, and then read it seriously. After reviewing and confirming repeatedly, Zhao Dan wrote a name.

Zhao Ke!

"Zhao Ke?" Fang Ruhai was taken aback when he saw the name on the white paper.

Zhao Ke, female, 22 years old, a princess of the royal family, is the half-sister of Zhao Dan. In addition to this identity, Zhao Ke is also the brother and sister of Chengwang Zhao Cheng, and also the apprentice of the hermit expert. downhill.

"We can't fight against the Qin Empire, we can only rely on schemes, I hope that my sister, the emperor, won't let me down!" Zhao Dan said softly with no expression on his face.

As soon as Fang Ruhai heard this, he knew that Zhao Dan was about to start playing dirty tricks!

Although the indecent means are despised by others, and the price is lowered, but for the benefit of the empire, let it lose face and identity, anyway, it is better than the decline of the empire.

Next, Zhao Dan ordered the Ministry of Rites to go to Xianyang, and then drew up an imperial decree and sent people to a certain hidden mountain...

......

The next day, Chenshi!

Dayan Empire, Jiyuan County, Nanzhi County, County Government, Court!

In the courtroom, there were more than 20 big men wearing chain mail. These were the generals under Jihou Wu Yang, from the general to the school lieutenant, all of them came. They gathered here and did not help Hou Wu Yang's order, but came on his own initiative.

The reason for taking the initiative to come is very simple and frightening, that is, the Qin army has gone south, less than a hundred miles away from Nanzhi County, and at the speed of the Qin army's marching, it will take less than three days to approach Nanzhi City.

When such a big incident happened, the entire army was impatient, and as the leader, Jihou Wu Yang had not issued a response to the military order, the generals were in a hurry, so they took the initiative to come to the court and begged to see Jihou Wu Yang, That's why there is a scene where all the generals gather in the courtroom.

The county magistrate who belonged to Marquis Wu Yang was empty, and the seat of the master who belonged to the military adviser Li Zheng was also empty. These school lieutenants and generals didn't know their Marquis and military adviser, and they had already taken the whole family away overnight.

It has to be said that Wu Yang and Li Zheng have done a good job of keeping the secrets secret. One night has passed, and no one has noticed anything unusual.

"My brows are burning, why don't Lord Hou and the military advisor come!"

"If the Qin army attacked overnight, I'm afraid we could see the Qin army approaching the city tomorrow, but in such a dangerous situation, the Marquis and the military adviser didn't come out to take charge of the overall situation. It's really frustrating!"

"Don't worry, Master Hou and the military adviser will come out, we are waiting!"

"Wait, maybe, Master Hou and the military division are discussing countermeasures!"

Everyone was frowning and discussing worriedly, which made the courtroom extremely noisy, the more noisy, the more anxious everyone became.

An hour has passed.

Marquis Wu Yang and military advisor Li Zheng haven't come yet!

"Damn, what's going on!" A more irritable general couldn't help but swear!

"Come here, go to Jihou Mansion and Li Mansion to have a look, and quickly invite Lord Hou and the military adviser to discuss matters!" Another general couldn't help asking his men to go to Jihou Mansion and Li Mansion to find someone, maybe someone would ask , why didn't you send someone to find someone before?

Because Wu Yang issued a ban in order to show his dignity, no one is allowed to look for him without a call, and those who violate it will be punished severely. Send someone to find it.

This ban is really cheating!

After about a few incense sticks, the people who went to Jihou's Mansion and Li's Mansion to look for people came back, and they told them that Jihou's Mansion and Li's Mansion were empty and there was no one. The general cursed angrily!

What the hell, these two people actually ran away overnight!

What if Wu Yang and Li Zheng ran away?What else can I do, run too, don't run and wait for death!

Soon, those school lieutenants and generals left the inner hall cursing, returned home one after another, packed their bags and left Nanzhi City. When those soldiers learned about this, they immediately fled the barracks without saying a word. At that time, Nanzhi City became quiet, and no one with a knife, gun or stick could be seen anymore.

Most of Wu Yang's soldiers and generals are bandits and ruffians. After these people leave, they can make the old, weak, women and children in the city very happy. Just like this, the [-] troops waiting for Wu Yang disintegrated in an instant, and they destroyed themselves. Time passed, and the incident quickly spread throughout the surrounding area.

"what's the situation?"
