Devil Class Cannon Fodder

Gu Qing thought a lot about it, but he didn't put it into practice right away. This kind of thing always needs a big stage, so don't rush it for a while.

But this magic trick has brought Gu Qing other inspirations:

He started domesticating pigeons.

No way, who made communication a big problem at this time, just having spies is not enough, there must be a channel to transmit the news back as soon as possible, so using carrier pigeons is a good choice.

But having said that, it is true that Gu Qing knows how to domesticate pigeons, but he doesn't really want to do it himself. Fortunately, as the lord of a country, he wants to find one or two people who are proficient in this field, which can be said to be a piece of cake .

As for the fact that Gu Qing was raising pigeons, he didn't pay much attention to what he knew, and only thought that he had started a new hobby.

As for old hobbies?

It can only be said that one of them is sword practice, and Huo Huaichuan is his frequent companion.At the beginning, the king knew that he had this hobby, so he gave him a sword, which was the one that was passed on to Huo Huaichuan later.At that time, Huo Huaichuan also took off his saber, and in exchange, gave it to his lord.

Now it's really different.

There was no need for Gu Qing to say anything about the sword that Huo Huaichuan presented to him. In order not to let his king feel emotionally affected by the situation, the servant Wang Chaoqing quickly withdrew the sword, but did not destroy it, but sealed it up.

Besides, Gu Qing was in the peach forest at that time, didn't he get hit on the arm, even if his arm returned to its previous appearance later, he would subconsciously use that arm less for movements.People in the know are aware of the inside story; even if they don't know, they are very good at observing words and expressions, and they are aware of the arm of the king, and their actions are not as flexible as before.

And Yu State has sent spies to other countries, and other countries naturally have to "reciprocate courtesy".Although the news has been transmitted a long way, the news that should be transmitted should be transmitted back to the country as much as possible. In the near future, it includes this one, and Huo Huaichuan, who was very favored in the past, will fall out of favor in the king's section in all likelihood.

The fact that Huo Huaichuan was rejected by the king gradually ceased to be a secret in Langcheng.

Although most people don't know exactly what's going on, there are many signs that can peek into the inside story.Many people sighed in private, but it didn't prevent them from wanting to take the opportunity to gain the favor of the king, but no matter how much everyone tried to show themselves, the king sitting behind the throne was indifferent.

Once, when the lord and his courtiers were discussing to send troops to the Shu Kingdom, everyone was arguing endlessly about which strategy to adopt, and finally waited for the lord to make a decision. The lord looked down and said casually: "Huai— —”

The lord of the Kingdom immediately realized that something was wrong, and suddenly changed his words: "Huai'an loses his will, and the lord of Shu, Handan Huai'an, loses his will."

But anyone with a discerning eye could see that the king intended to call "Huaichuan", this is a habit left over from the past, and it is not so easy to change in a while.

Alas, it seems that the friendship between the monarch and his ministers cannot be shaken so easily.

Gu Guozhu continued to behave as usual, and soon made a decision.

Handan Huai'an, the ruler of the Kingdom of Shu, lost his will, and was still getting dizzy day by day, which led to civil strife in Shu. However, the Kingdom of Yu and the Kingdom of Shu are partly bordering each other. A rich rear base lays a solid foundation for future expansion.

Gu Qing pretended that nothing had happened, and what he was talking about was still a major national event, so everyone quickly restrained their divergent thinking.But after the court was over, Huo Ping, who seemed to have aged several years in a short period of time, felt even more tormented in his heart. After returning home, he went to visit Huo Huaichuan for the first time.

Huo Huaichuan was beaten half to death by Huo Ping before, but fortunately a doctor treated him in time, and Huo Huaichuan was already strong and strong, but it has been more than half a month, and Huo Huaichuan's health has not improved as expected.

It's as if Huo Huaichuan has a will to die.

When Huo Ping came over, Huo Huaichuan's hospital was too quiet, the servants came and went quietly, and the flowers and plants in the courtyard were limp like the master's. Anyway, it made people feel that staying here was very depressing.

The only difference is Princess Yangyue.

Princess Yangyue is no longer a princess. Princess Zheng Guo was previously claimed to have died of depression due to dissatisfaction with the environment and soil. Now she is just a commoner woman.The Huo family naturally knew her identity, but none of the Huo family hated her, but they didn't treat her harshly, nor stopped her from taking care of Huo Huaichuan, they just treated her as if she didn't exist, whether it was Huo Ping or the Huo family's minions.

But Princess Yangyue didn't care.

At this moment, Princess Yangyue went to decoct the medicine herself, and she wanted to feed it to Huo Huaichuan herself.Huo Huaichuan silently pushed away, and Princess Yangyue was about to speak to persuade him when Huo Ping came in from the outside.

Princess Yangyue wants to greet him.

Huo Ping waved his hand, and his attendants came forward and made a "please" gesture to Princess Yangyue.

Princess Yangyue subconsciously looked at Huo Huaichuan, but Huo Huaichuan didn't even look at her. Princess Yangyue could only put down the medicine bowl, brushed up a stray strand of hair, and followed Huo Ping's attendants to the door.

The servants of the Huo family continued to do what they were supposed to do, and they didn't even look at Princess Yangyue more.

As for the maids who had followed from Zheng Guo, their princesses had died in the palace, and it was good for them to survive, so why would they follow Princess Yangyue who changed her name and surname.In other words, in this huge Huo family, Princess Yangyue only has Huo Huaichuan, and she still feels sweet now.

That's right, she didn't come to Huo's house for a few days.

Besides, in the room, Huo Ping couldn't be more clear about his son's knots, he only said a few words back and forth, which cheered up the decadent Huo Huaichuan.

Huo Huaichuan's injury healed soon, and Princess Yangyue wept with joy, but before she could dream of a better day, Huo Huaichuan simply packed up and saluted, and took the broken sword in two, ready to go Settle down in the barracks.

Looking at Princess Yangyue, who is as beautiful and beautiful as before, she still has her eyes cut out, and the sparkling waves are full of joy. This still makes Huo Huaichuan throb, but it can't fill the void in his heart, which makes Huo Huaichuan hard-hearted. Come on, he picked up his luggage and walked to the door, then turned around and said to Princess Yangyue: "I will tell my mother to take care of you."

Princess Yangyue reached out to him subconsciously: "What, what?"

"Take care, princess." After Huo Huaichuan finished speaking, he was about to leave without looking back.

Princess Yangyue realized again, there was no shadow of him in front of her eyes.

Princess Yangyue: "...?!"

Huo Huaichuan's heart is rooted in the military camp, which is very different from before.

Gu Qing in the palace, in the eyes of outsiders, is not the same as before.Do not set foot in the harem, except for occasionally bringing princes and queens to the front hall.These three children are still young, even the eldest son, Zhang, is only two years old, and he still doesn't know much about it.

The ministers privately felt that the king had left a psychological shadow because of the previous appearance.It's not that there are no one who wants to come and present beauties, but the first one to do so was scolded by the king at that time. Although he was not dismissed from office, all those who should be punished were fined, and he was named and criticized again in the court , so that it was thankless, and was treated as an object to imitate others, it was ashamed to see others.

With such an experience, for a long time, no one dared to do that.

Gu Qing stayed quiet for a long time, not caring what other people were whispering in his heart.

Also, for the three children left behind by the original body, although Gu Qing has made a lot of achievements in raising children, but this time he did not devote as much effort as before. No private goods were carried.

But having said that, for Gu Qing, "ordinary" is already "unusual".

In the middle of the year, the State of Yu took advantage of the internal turmoil in Shu and the war between the State of Yan and the State of Chu, sent troops to the State of Shu, quickly occupied the entire territory of the State of Shu, established the State of Shu as the County of Shu, and divided its land into several counties. , Further divided the state of Shu.

And the following year, the Bashu area was decided.

With such a granary, Yu State's national strength has been enhanced to a considerable extent.

Seeing this, Yan Guo and Chu Guo, the two countries that were originally the most powerful countries in the struggle for hegemony, called a truce.

As I said before, these two countries are old powerful countries, and their national strength is even better than that of the previous Yu country.Although the two countries were at war, no one escaped to benefit, and part of their military strength was lost, but the current situation in the world was not right, and the two countries did not continue to stalemate, so that Yu State could come from behind.

And these two powerful countries, Yan State and Yu State are adjacent, and Yan State and Pei State are separated from Chu State.The national power of Pei State is weak, and the war between Yan State and Chu State also spread to Pei State. Therefore, Yu State adopted the strategy of far-distance and short-term attack, and persuaded Chu State and Pei State to fight against Yan State.

Yu State defeated Yan's army in Yancheng, Yan State's general Zhang Qu was captured, and Yu State took Yan State's land for six hundred miles.

Later, while hunting, the lord of the state of Chu was shot by an arrow and died.

Once King Chu died, it would be a disaster. The crown prince was old and weak, but he was supported by the queen, but the current government was controlled by the prime minister Chu Run. Ascension to the throne - At this time, it was not a complete family system. More than 100 years ago, there was still the matter of surrendering to the worthy.

In addition, Chu Run was originally the younger brother of King Xian Chu. He was in power but not a member of the royal family. Now that he had the opportunity to become king, he had to compete with his nephew.

Yu Guo plays the role of "Hello, hello, hello everyone" in this, that is, when Chu Run said that he should be the new King Chu, Yu Guo felt that since Prince Cang was young, Chu Run should be the new King Chu Well, in the future, Prince Cang can still be given the seat of Zen. Wouldn’t everyone be happy? But Prince Cang felt that his father’s death was inseparable from the uncle Chu Run. If it makes sense, then support him.

This is said to be a peacemaker, but it looks more like a shit stirrer.

Of course, Gu Qing firmly rejects the term "shit stirrer".After all, although Chu State is an ally, this alliance is only temporary, and it will still be a stumbling block on the road of Yu State's expansion in the future.

Also, it's really hard to say whether King Xian Chu was killed by Chu Run, the king's younger brother. Anyway, Prince Cang and the queen's faction, and now they are killed by Chu Run's assassination.

It's just that there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests. On the chessboard in this world, it can't always be the benefit of the Yu country. After the rest of the countries feel uneasy, they will unite and form allies. Pei Guo, who had been allied with Yu State, would turn his head around and join forces with Zheng State, Yan State, and Fei State who was behind Zheng State to counter the mighty Yu State.

As for Yu State, the traditional chariot soldiers are cavalry, and the original chariot warfare has been improved, and the military strength has been further enhanced.

It's just that in the face of such alliances from other countries, Yu's side is still struggling.

Fortunately, this ally is not working together.

The State of Yu first sent envoys to the State of Yan to persuade King Yan not to collude with other states.If Yan State withdraws, then Yu State is willing to return the six hundred miles of land swallowed by Yu State before Yan State.

At the same time, the State of Yu did not forget to send envoys to the State of Chu, expressing its willingness to support Uncle Wang Churun/Prince Cang's ascension to the throne, but the premise is that they show sincerity first, and the State of Chu is willing to send troops to deal with Pei State.

After this, Yu Guo sent troops to attack Zheng.

Zheng Guo was originally ordered by Yu State to have two cities, and he has always been quite tolerant to Yu State. This time, he is willing to take the lead to command other countries. Part of the reason is that he has determined the king of Yu State, and he has lost peace with General Huo Huaichuan, and the Huo family has also been implicated by Huo Huaichuan. In recent years, it has not been reused as it used to be.That is to say, they didn't need to bother to make a difference at all, and Yu Guo lost a general on his own.

If there is any disharmony between the monarch and his subjects, it is still because of Princess Yangyue.The Lord of Yu Kingdom must have hatred for Zheng State. After attacking Yan State, he must turn his attention to Zheng State. It can be said that Zheng State is in danger.It would be better to turn passive into active and unite with other countries to attack Yu State together. At that time, Yu State will inevitably be stretched and its national strength will be forced to decline.

In this way, Zheng Guo can be safe.

The Lord Zheng was persuaded by a counselor, and this counselor persuaded Fei Guo, Pei Guo and Yan Guo successively, and this was how the four countries joined forces to attack Yu Guo.

Not wanting to wait until the four strikes started, the Lord of Zheng Guo suddenly realized that it was different from what he had said before, only Zheng Guo was pressed to the ground and rubbed.

Although Pei Guo also has to face Chu State, the military strength of Chu State is not as good as that of Yu State, and it is not of one mind. Yu Guo is going straight to his own royal city.

Due to its geographic location, Fei Country is not doing much, but its soldiers and horses are still damaged.

The State of Yu didn't go straight to King Zheng's city. Halfway through the battle, the State of Yu sent envoys to King Zheng, saying that the counselor of his family was a spy of the State of Fei.

He has always been beside Yu State and Zheng State, fanning the flames and sowing discord between the two countries. Before that, the counselor sent the dead to assassinate Princess Yangyue, which led to the secret love between Princess Yangyue and Huo Huaichuan. Later, the two of them did something that made the Lord of Yu State very sad, and because of this, State Yu held a grudge against State Zheng.

The envoy also said: "Now our wise king discovered this conspiracy, realized that he had misunderstood Zheng Guo, and thought that he should not fall into the enemy's tricks further, so that relatives and enemies would be happy, so he sent me to explain the matter." .Then, King Zheng, look—"

That's not what the original words said, anyway, that's roughly what it means.

King Zheng was originally afraid because of Yu State's offensive, but now Yu State gave him such a slope to let him go down, King Zheng wanted to go down the slope, but the courtiers objected, thinking that Yu State did not care about it. Good intentions, to slacken the morale of our army, and Yu Guo's wolfish ambitions have been clearly revealed. Even if he shakes hands with Yu State now, Yu State will not let Zheng State go.

That's what I said, but if we don't shake hands now, won't Yu Guo let Zheng Guo go?

King Zheng hesitated a lot.

The State of Yu also said that it could besiege the State of Fei with the State of Zheng, and the captured territory of the State of Fei would belong to the State of Zheng.After all, the land of Yu State and that of Fei State are not adjacent to each other, and there is Zheng State in the middle, so it will be very inconvenient to manage.

King Zheng finally agreed, and offered a huge reward on the head of the counselor named He Lingyu.

This strategist still has a certain reputation, and his hiding place is still very good. Who would have thought that his identity would be exposed because of a bad start.

Fortunately, this counselor was keenly aware of the danger before King Zheng offered him a reward, and quickly escaped from Zheng State and fled back to Fei State.

Now the country of Fei is in danger.

In fact, this counselor named He Lingyu is not an ordinary counselor, he is the son of the King of Fei, and one of the princes of Fei.It's just that in the country of Fei, the crown prince is not him, but his elder brother. However, in the past few years, He Lingyu has been active in other countries under a pseudonym, and has gained a lot of reputation for himself. Therefore, after coming to the country of Zheng, he was recommended to After meeting King Zheng, he soon became King Zheng's guest.

He Lingyu thinks he is very kind, like Princess Yangyue.

Princess Yangyue's beauty comes second, but the key is that her ideas are different.For this reason, when Zheng Guo asked Yu Guo for peace, He Lingyu tried his best to persuade Zheng Wang to offer up Princess Yangyue.

He Lingyu pinned his hopes on Princess Yangyue, with her beauty and unique ideas, to go to Yu State to split things.

Originally, in He Lingyu's prediction, Princess Yangyue's love for Huo Huaichuan was a certainty, especially Huo Huaichuan saved her.

And Yu Lang, the lord of Yu Kingdom, should also be bewitched by Princess Yangyue's beauty, so that he would be separated from Huo Huaichuan, but He Lingyu never expected it to be so soon, even though such a result was right in his own hands.But this also disrupted his plan to a certain extent.

At the same time, Yu Guo's national power has grown too fast, which also exceeded He Lingyu's expectations.

There are still many joints that He Lingyu can't figure out, but now he has no time to think about it, so he can only flee to Fei Guo in a rather embarrassing manner.

Less than an hour after He Lingyu arrived in King Fei's City, there was a white pigeon in Yecheng, King Fei's City, and flew out of the city with fluttering wings, heading towards Langcheng, King Yu's City.

阆城

Gu Qing is looking at the sand table. Now the territory of Yu State has more than doubled in size.Those who made outstanding contributions to this were Shu, Zheng and Yan.The Kingdom of Shu is now Shu County, and a water conservancy project has been carried out, making the large basins that were originally suitable for farming more productive than in previous years.

Let's talk about Zheng Guo.Zheng Guo is going to fight, wait for Zheng Guo to finish fighting Fei Guo.

And Yan Guo.Yan Guo's national strength is stronger than Zheng Guo's, so he sent envoys to persuade Yan Guo to withdraw at the very beginning.As for the land of [-] miles that was promised to Yan Guo, it was to be given, but this [-] miles was not the other [-] miles - Gu Qing thought that a small town originally named Liulu might as well be renamed Liubaili.

This small town was originally swallowed by the State of Yu, and it was called Liubaili, so returning it back is equivalent to returning the land of Liubaili. Does this sound like nothing wrong?

There is also such half-hearted things as Wang Shu Churun ​​and Prince Cang who support the state of Chu, which can also be quibbled at that time.Whether it is to say that you want to see the strength of both of them before making a decision; or that what's the matter if you both support it, it's not that you just say that the public is right, and the mother-in-law is right.

Besides, since the matter has developed to such a point, none of you are willing to take a step back, so you might as well become kings, and divide the original Chu country into two, wouldn't everyone be happy?

Anyway, Chu Run and Tai Zicang are not convinced by anyone, and it will be a matter of time before they start fighting with real swords and guns. Now that they are divided into two, it can avoid further civil strife in the future, which will lead to the loss of national power and instability of the country.

It depends on what Uncle Wang Churun ​​and Prince Cang will think at that time, anyway, Yu Guo has already exhausted his benevolence.

Well, that sounds a lot like being cheap and being nice.

There will still be "backlash" at that time, but for now, after further weakening the national strength of other countries, Yu country will not be afraid.

Simply put, it is fearless.

Among them, Gu Qing did not do much.He did not give more water and fertilization to the current technology tree to allow it to grow as a whole, unlike the past when he devoted himself to pulling up high-tech trees.Now Gu Qing is only at a certain node, slightly promoting its development.

Then again, at this time of backwardness, Gu Qing did not underestimate the moment when people's wisdom shined.Among the sages who were attracted to Yu before, there was an astronomer who discovered that Yinghuo (Mars) among the five known planets has a retrograde phenomenon. Based on this, the star period of Mars was determined, that is, the revolution period is one Nine years, which is very close to the scientific determination of later generations.

In mathematics, there are also relatively in-depth researches. Even if it doesn't look very good later, it is definitely ahead of other regions in this era.

It's just that in Gu Qing's view, it's not so shocking.If electricity or steam engines can be produced at this time, it will make future generations feel too incredible, whether aliens have descended.

Wait, there are really ancient civilizations that are suspected to be taught by aliens. In later generations, everyone is happy to look for evidence.It’s just that it’s not very easy to be verified, that is to say, even if Gu Qing is making a fake now, if the fake is good, people will believe it in the future, and it will be impossible to prove that it is fake, unless time travel can be carried out in the future.

As for counterfeiting, Gu Qing is very good at it, especially since he has also been an alien.

Thinking of this, Gu Qing couldn't help narrowing his eyes, and then smiled a little.

Not to mention, when Gu Qing thought about it this way, he felt that he could choose the system of such a world and give him a one-year probation sentence-let him go to robbing tombs or archeology, what did the system think?
