ps: I can’t even write an article because I have a cold, orz.

This morning, in the palace hall of Handan City.

"Your Majesty, Jiuding is already on the way to Handan." He was wearing a blue silk base and a white gauze cover. His face was still fiercely covered with a veil covering half of his face, only his eyes were exposed. His silver-white hair was tied up in a high bun. A wooden fork that looked like a sailor's steering wheel crossed back and forth, and the Moon Goddess, who had a more noble and mysterious temperament, whispered.

"Your Yin Yang family is indeed sincere." Ito Cheng said with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Now, tell me what you want." After a pause, Ito Cheng said again.

"Back to your Majesty, our Yin Yang family has no demands." Luna replied softly.

"Oh?" Ito Cheng raised his eyebrows.

Do you really have nothing to ask for? Or are you prepared to retreat in order to advance?

"Reward for meritorious deeds and punishment for delinquency has always been my king's purpose. Although the purpose of taking the tripod this time is to show the sincerity of the Yin and Yang family, for Zhao Guo, it is also a big achievement, so if you have any requests, please feel free to do so. Just mention it." Ito Cheng said quietly.

"The king is indeed a wise king." The Moon God complimented, and then said, "In this case, please leave the kingdom's future sacrifices and sacrifices to my Yin Yang family."

"...That's fine. I promise you that after I pacify the Seven Kingdoms, your Yin Yang family will be solely responsible for the domestic sacrifices." Ito Cheng pondered for a moment, nodded and agreed.

Although I still can't figure out that the Yin Yang family really has no desires and desires, they just want to surrender to the victorious king and get a chance to survive. There was still an ulterior motive, but it didn't matter to Ito Cheng. Anyway, after the entire world is conquered, the world will be swallowed up by the Rubik's Cube. Transformed into one of the many worlds, the people in the world will also have to accept the erosion of will energy. Even if they make a big fuss, they will not be able to break out of his palm.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Moon God leaned over and saluted.

"In addition, the king is ready to start the recognition ceremony of Jiuding." After the salute, the Moon God asked.

"Since it is a ceremony, there should be a lot of things to prepare?" Ito Cheng asked.

"Yes." Moon God nodded slightly and explained, "If you want to start the ceremony, you first need an open space. Among them, the place where the dragon veins converge and the five elements of yin and yang are harmonious is the best. Then you need to build a sacrifice there. The specifications of the altar must be made according to the requirements in "Rituals. Grand Sacrifice". After the altar is completed, the nine tripods can be placed on the altar and all the people can be gathered around the altar. At that time, your Majesty, you can fast and take a bath. After three days, the dust and dirt will be washed away, and then the ceremony can begin."

"The place where the dragon veins gather...and where the yin and yang are harmonious and the five elements come together..." Ito Cheng frowned.

Although it is difficult to find the place where dragon veins gather, it is not impossible in this era. At least it was to the east of Mount Tai and the area around Chang'an in later generations, and even if it didn't exist, Ito Cheng could use his strength to move mountains and change the landscape. The dragon veins are moved to create a place where the dragon veins converge, but on this basis, a yin and yang must be added to bring the five elements together. That would be a bit difficult.

Because the place where the dragon veins converge will have Yang and excess, with Yang suppressing Yin. Unless there is a situation where two dragons are playing with each other, or it is close to the seaside. The harmony of yin and yang with water and yin controlling yang.

But the problem comes again. Although the former can bring about the harmony of yin and yang and the gathering of the five elements, it requires special terrain, which is a trouble for gathering all the people around the altar. The latter, although not heavy on terrain, can facilitate the gathering. Ten thousand people, but the water of the five elements is too heavy, the fire is weak, the wood is strong, the earth is drowned, and the metal is heavy, it is also a problem.

"Does the location have a big impact on the ceremony?" After thinking for a moment, Ito Cheng, who couldn't find a way to get the best of both worlds with the existing methods of this era, asked in a deep voice unless he used his abilities throughout the process.

"Some," Luna replied.

"...Do you have a suitable place in your heart?" Ito Cheng was silent for a moment and asked again.

"There is a place." Moon God said.

"Where?" Ito Cheng raised his eyebrows.

"Old place of Zhou family." Moon God said.

Zhou Shi's hometown refers to the area near Chang'an, and it is also one of the places where dragon veins gather that Ito Cheng can think of. However, it must have been destroyed by man-made things. How can it still maintain the harmony of yin and yang, and the five elements gather here? point?

"Are you sure?" Thinking of this, Ito Cheng asked.

"Yes." Luna confirmed.

Ito Cheng couldn't help but remain silent, and after a moment he spoke again, "The place where I started my career is Handan. I have no intention of inheriting the Zhou Dynasty, so let's forget it there."

Naturally, Luna had no objections to this.

"Later, I will ask people to free up the area in the northeast of Handan and send enough craftsmen and peasants to you. Your Yin Yang family will be responsible for the construction of the altar." After a pause, Ito Cheng said again.

"Yes." Luna leaned forward and agreed.

"Okay, get down." Ito Cheng said softly.

"Moon God excuses himself." Moon God bowed to Ito Cheng again, then stood up from the ground and slowly exited the hall.

"It's almost, it's almost. I don't believe it. I can't take Jiuding with my means." After Luna left, a strong aura suddenly emerged from Ito Cheng's body, causing ripples in the air in the hall. He secretly said with confidence.

…

Next, in accordance with the instructions, Ito Chengzhi sent the peasants, craftsmen and various materials to the deserted countryside outside the east gate of Handan City, and handed it over to the Moon God and Yin Yang family to build the altar. Ito Shige ignored the matter about Jiuding and turned his attention to The Three Kingdoms War is currently being fought fiercely.

Although Qin Ting was panicked for a while because of the sudden betrayal and theft of the tripod by the Yin and Yang family, it was going to rain and the mother was getting married. There was no way to undo what had happened, so Qin Ting quickly readjusted. After the previous 600,000-strong army, Qin Ting issued a mobilization order across the country and once again organized an army of two soldiers. One hundred thousand men and one hundred thousand strong women, consisting of men with a minimum age of fifteen and a maximum of sixty, a total of three hundred thousand troops were thrown into the battlefield.

You must know that the total population of the Qin State at this time was only about 10 million. Excluding ordinary women and children, as well as those over 60 who cannot serve as soldiers, the normal population of adults who can be regarded as soldiers is less than 5 million. That's it, such a draw has almost reached the limit of the country. If it goes higher, it will be like the Zhao Kingdom after the Changping War, where there are no strong men in the country.

It can be said that the whole country is fighting.

In contrast, the State of Chu was not that powerful. Although it was very large, accounting for almost all of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in later generations, plus eastern Hubei and northern Hunan, its population was really small. How much, just over 5 or 6 million, and there may be more to it than that. Therefore, the 600,000 soldiers sent before are completely at the maximum strength. If we draw more troops, it will directly shake the country's foundation. Therefore, even if the Chu State saw its own army being routed and dispersed under the attack of Zhao's ghost-like army, the Chu State could no longer recruit more soldiers to support them.

But what made them feel even worse was that, perhaps because they saw that the Chu State was exhausted and needed to consider some retreat for their own family, during a certain battle, the main force of the public loser's machine suddenly switched sides, and Ito Cheng's The Zhao army counterattacked the Chu army together, directly putting the Chu army on guard, and suffered heavy losses. As the coach, Xiang Yan was also killed by Zhao assassins hidden in the Gongshu family team, causing the Chu army to be destroyed. Lost or lost, almost completely collapsed.

Although Chu State still retained a certain amount of military strength in the end and reorganized its formation, it was unable to resist the mighty Zhao State army. Within a few days, it became one of the many skeletons in the underground. A batch.

At this point, there was no strong army in the Chu State, and the Chu State appeared in front of the Zhao army like a child without clothes. Then about a month and a half later, that is, in late June and early July of 250 BC, the entire territory of Zhao State was taken over, and the work of clearing out and managing the remaining rebel forces in Chu began.

Without the restraint of the Chu State, the powerful Zhao army concentrated on dealing with the Qin State. Although they later recruited troops nationwide to shake the country's foundation, they still could not hold on for long. At the end of July 250 BC, they were broken by the Zhao army. Xianyang, surrounded Xianyang Palace and captured the then King of Qin, King Zhuang Xiang.

At this point, due to Ito Cheng's chaos, the Warring States Period officially came to an end more than 20 years earlier than history, leaving only a strong Zhao State to replace the historical Qin State and become the final winner.

Of course, this refers to the part of Middle-earth, but the pace of conquest of the world outside Middle-earth has not stopped. At least there are four ancient civilizations of ancient Babylon, ancient India, ancient Egypt, and ancient Rome waiting for his conquest. .

Then before we knew it, time turned into August.

Zhao Guo, Handan, in the main hall of the royal palace.

Wearing a black robe and a rocker crown, Ito Cheng sat high on the throne with a majestic face. There were hundreds of officials below, sitting on both sides of the hall, looking solemn and silent.

"Moon God, how is the construction of the altar going?" Ito Cheng turned his head slightly and looked at the silver-haired woman sitting on the right hand side of the hall and said softly.

"Back to the king, the altar has been completely constructed and can be used to hold sacrificial ceremonies for the king at any time." Moon God leaned forward slightly and replied softly.

"Xuan Ling, how are the arrangements for the autumn harvest going?" Ito Cheng nodded, looking to the right and asking the white-haired and red-faced old man sitting on the left side of the hall.

"It has already been arranged. As soon as the grain is ripe, the autumn harvest can be carried out." Fang Xuanling replied.

"Where are you?" Ito Cheng then looked at Du Ruhui, Ji Yanran, Tian Feng, Xun You, Cheng Yu and others and asked.

"Everything has been arranged." Several people replied in unison.

"Well, when the autumn harvest is over, I will officially worship and proclaim myself emperor in the eastern suburbs outside Handan City in front of the eyes of all the people." Ito Cheng opened his eyes, and naturally exuded an imperial aura, and announced loudly. (To be continued...)
