Emperor Qin

With a new group of Sui Cong, Yan Jiang did not return to Daliang by the same route. Now that the Qin army has arrived, Wei State is under martial law.

Pei County is by the Sishui River, and Sishui is connected to the Jishui to the north, so you can walk from Dingtao to the Jishui River and enter the vicinity of Daliang.

Well, it is to take the Ji River whose home has been occupied, and now it is the new home of the Yellow River.

Along the way, they encountered many passenger ships escaping from Daliang, carrying many old nobles in Weidi, and many merchant ships returning after hearing the news. The people who had moved away from the rich and nobles looked frightened and sad, and most of them went along the river to Qidi. escape.

They said that Qi State has been free from military disasters for 50 years, and it is an excellent place. Although it is difficult to leave the homeland, Han Zhaoyan's old nobles have all been confiscated from the land, and their wealth has been exploited.

Yan Jiang was going to rent a large boat to Daliang, but the passing shipowners refused one after another, and they would not turn back for any money, so he made a big move, using the colors of green, blue, green and ochre. He spent two days, On the white silk, he painted a gorgeous and incomparable "Picture of the Queen Mother of the West Traveling to the Sky". He was influenced by modern art. Make it into gold powder, sprinkle it on the silk, and spray it with the fixative liquid. Under the sun, it will be shimmering with golden light and full of auspiciousness.

Everyone knelt down when they saw it, saying that they wanted to bow down to the immortals, and they were all willing to send them off by boat, just in exchange for this painting.

With such a sharp weapon in hand, Yan Jiang sorted through the boats of the ship owners, and found the largest one. The ship owner was a middle-aged scholar who claimed to be a celebrity of Chu State, named Jing Huang.He just glanced at the painting, and couldn't take his eyes off it anymore. He not only agreed to Yan Zi's request to charter a boat, but also followed him all the way, wanting to talk about immortality with Yan Jiang.

He was rejected by Yan Jiang because of his predestined relationship to immortality.

Originally, the transaction was completed, but His Majesty woke up and saw that he was determined not to do it. After winning the flying tiger, Yan Jiang boasted that the ship was great, and he didn't know which master it was from. He wanted to see if he could spend money. buy it.

So Jing Huang told him that there were many water battles in Wu, Chu and other places south of the Yangtze River, so "the people of Wu used boats and oars as their own horses, and the huge sea as their flat road." The art of boats, the ships under its flag include big wings, middle wings, small wings, sudden rises, bridge boats, and building boats. The king's boat of Chu even has three floors of buildings, which are extremely gorgeous and exquisite, and there are silk and iron wares, which pass through various countries. In recent years, the Chuanji operation area of ​​Chu State is like the capital city Shouchun.

His ship is to use the Chu State warship in idle time to transport goods.

When Yan Jiang was chatting, he learned a lot about the old affairs of the Chu State. After the failure of the Chu Mourning King’s reform, many old nobles were killed. Now the Qu, Chu, and Zhao clans are the most expensive in the Chu State. He was born in the Jing family, Chu King Han and Changping Lord They were all trying to win over his family, and they heard that his mother was suffering from water gu disease, so they exchanged the few insecticides they brought with them.

Jing Huang didn't expect to meet such a good thing when he went out, so he took the medicine and went south in a light boat, leaving the boat and the oarsmen on the boat to Yan Jiang.

So the big ship, 15 meters long and five meters wide, with three large and small rooms connected side by side on the deck, and ten oarsmen in the bilge, embarked on the road to return to Qin.

Seeing Jing Huang go away, Lu Wan couldn't hold back, and scoffed in a low voice: "The three families of Jing Zhao and Xiang are still the same."

Xiao He and the others also sighed, the princes of the Chu State have been running rampant for a long time, and smuggling them in official ships is nothing more than a trivial matter.

Yan Jiang asked about the situation curiously.

Only then did we realize that the land of Chu is vast and sparsely populated, and there are lords everywhere. They are very powerful. If you live smoothly, if you encounter a stupid person, you can only ask for more blessings.

Xiao He also lamented that Qu Yuan was determined to govern the country and reform, but even his own Qu family was unwilling to support it. During the battle of Yan and Ying, the capital of Yan was filled with water, and the capital of Ying was burned. crying, and then threw himself into the Miluo River.

Yan Jiang didn't comment on this, but he thought in his heart that Qu Yuan's matter could not be blamed on others. He was born in the Qu family and was the son of a doctor named Jun. Moved the nobles to the mountainous and wild lands of Fujian and Guangdong to open up wasteland. Those nobles just exiled him and didn't kill him. They are already extremely worthy of him.

So he just held a training class on the ship, telling these people what Qin laws they need to pay attention to when entering the Qin Dynasty, so as not to get credit for not earning, but instead being dragged to build the city wall.

"Why do the people of Qin like to build city walls so much?" Fan Kui felt a headache from hearing this, and asked this question for everyone.

"Building the city wall can strengthen the defense, secondly, train the soldiers to obey orders, and thirdly, go to the battlefield. If there are not so many criminals and an army of tens of thousands, how can so many civilians send food and weapons?" Yan Jiang answered with a light smile. , "When the time comes to Daliang, you can lead a few soldiers. As for how much credit you can get, it depends on yourself."

"Daliang City has a high wall and strong walls, how can we attack it?" Liu Ji had been there before, and it was the only gorgeous city he had ever seen in his life. Hearing this, he felt a little bit drummed in his heart—the siege battle, that is the loss of soldiers The most powerful battles, especially the first batch, are basically given away.

"You don't need to ask these questions," Yan Jiang lazily said, "Just do as I say."

Although everyone was confused, it should be true, Yan Jiang nodded, let Xiao He continue to write down Qin Lv, and then returned to the cabin.

He ran his fingertips over the thick wood of the boat and found that these big boats are all made of good cypress wood.

Then I thought of the big ship that left Japan later, and couldn't help but pinch Your Majesty.

His Majesty looked at him, grabbed the silk painting, and tilted his head innocently.

"You are not allowed to believe that others say seeking immortality in the future, do you know?" Yan Jiang raised the bird's wings, met its eyes, and said solemnly.

His Majesty was confused for a moment, who, whom to believe?Who to ask?

Is Ah Jiang worried that he doesn't love him anymore?

So His Majesty stretched his neck and kissed his lips, and put his beak into the soft lips, and when he touched the white and neat teeth, he tapped lightly as an answer.

Old Yan Jiang blushed, he had no choice but to sigh and put it down, thinking that Xu Fu had three thousand virgins and a big boat with at least 500 people, so he gave it away for nothing. A good thing that can be used on the Shanghai Silk Road.

His Majesty was even more confused, murmured twice, walked to his side, and rubbed his hand. .

Yan Jiang looked at his appearance, and suddenly his heart moved.

He squatted in front of Maotouying, looking at it faintly.

His Majesty's expression became serious in an instant, this expression was too familiar to him, every time A Jiang wanted to lie, that's what he looked like!

"Your Majesty~" Yan Jiang prolonged the final sound, and lightly raised the sharp beak of the bird, "Do you want to rule the world in the name of the chosen one?"

Sailing against the current is actually not as fast as chariots and horses, but the advantage of sailing is that it can be used day and night without obstacles, and the oarsmen can take turns to rest. As long as they move forward at full speed, the total speed is even faster than chariots and horses some.

By the end of July, the ship arrived at Daliang.

At this time, the Qin army had already assembled under the Daliang City. Hundreds of thousands of troops were building camps, and they were living in high places outside the city, so they could look down at Daliang from afar.

And none of Wei Wuzu, who was once famous all over the world, even went out of the city gate, and only defended the city with a fortified city, acting like I don't believe you can kill me with energy consumption.

Wang Ben made a special trip out of the camp to meet him, saying that he was waiting for him for a long time.

The two were polite for a few words, and when Yan Jiang asked about the progress of the siege, Wang Ben showed anger.

An hour ago, he ordered people to go to the city to persuade him to surrender, and told King Wei that King Qin had already said that as long as he surrendered to Qin like King Han, he would retain the title of marquis bestowed by Wei Guozongmiao Sheji and Zhou Tianzi, but King Wei actually killed him. He sent an envoy, saying that he would live and die with Daliang.

This is simply a naked provocation.

Wang Ben took Yan Jiang into the camp and discussed with his father. The two planned to order the soldiers to attack the city tentatively to show that the Qin army was not just talking.

So Yan Jiang saw a formal siege battle.

The Qin army attacked the city with ladders and catapults. The catapults of the Wei army on the opposite side were condescending and shot farther, but the Qin army was not afraid of death. The pots and pans of hot water rolled down, and the soldiers of the Qin army screamed and rolled down the ladder. The one or two missing people who rushed to the top of the city were also killed by the soldiers on the city.

But the faces of the Wang family father and son remained unchanged, they just divided the soldiers in their hands into several waves, and took turns to charge and kill them.

In less than half an hour, there were hundreds of corpses of soldiers lying in the city, and there were also many casualties among the Wei soldiers on the city.

Even though he was used to watching battle scenes, Yan Jiang couldn't help frowning slightly: "Forcing an attack is impossible, so it's better to discuss the plan for attacking the city."

Wang Jian finally turned his attention to the second minister of the State of Qin, and said meaningfully: "I heard that the second minister wrote to the king, asking the king to act with benevolence and righteousness, and not to be flooded. Is it true?"

Ever since the King of Qin said that Yan Jiang had to discuss the matter of watering the girders, Wang Jian knew that this matter had nothing to do with Yan Jiang, and this was the reason why he was angry with Yan Jiang. It's cool, but what he wants to give is the life of his subordinate Erlang.

Yan Jiang generously admitted: "Not bad."

"Women's benevolence!" Wang Jian said angrily, "This plan is related to the safety of Qin State, how can it be discussed in terms of benevolence?"

"That's the way to say it." Yan Jiang said gently, "After all, this beam will also be the king's subjects."

Seeing that the situation was a bit stiff, Wang Ben interrupted immediately: "Then what's the clever plan of the vice minister?"

"Your Majesty is coming, you will know when the time comes." Yan Jiangxin said that I haven't adjusted the explosives or buried the gunpowder, of course there is nothing I can do.

"Ciqing wants to use the method of heaven's punishment?" Wang Jian said sarcastically, "Why don't you show my father and son the magic, and it will improve the morale of our sons."

"Is the magic of immortals visible to mere mortals?" Yan Jiang looked calm, but his words were not soft at all.

"Then who would know it!?" Wang Jian sneered, "Or is this tongue-in-cheek technique your immortal technique?"

Yan Jiang glanced at him, and said calmly: "Only when the king comes forward, with a benevolent heart, according to the will of heaven, God grants the king's power, and personally invites him, can this deity perform this technique to help Qin win the world!"

Didn't Dong Zhongshu rely on the induction between heaven and man to say that the emperor was chosen by heaven? Can these theories be compared to him showing his divine will and signaling the election?

This bullshit was too big, and Wang Jian was suddenly laughed angrily: "Okay, Wang Shangsheng has arrived in Xingyang, and the boat will arrive tomorrow. I want to see how you let God order you to break this Daliang city!"
