Age of mythical princes

Chapter 359 The Land of Bashu
At night, after the meeting, Shang Yang isolated Tianji, took out the special magic weapon he had prepared long ago, and began to contact the distant Marquis of Qin.

Shang Yang's feelings towards the Marquis of Qin were somewhat complicated.

I am grateful. Without the support of the Marquis of Qin, there would be no Qin State today, and Shang Yang's reforms would never be successful.If the reform is not successful, Shang Yang will not be able to become a real person.

But the Marquis of Qin took advantage of the opportunity to support the Chu State and kicked Shang Yang out of the Qin State in one fell swoop. It has been more than 20 or almost 30 years now.

Shang Yang can also understand this move.

After all, after the reform was successful, Shang Yang's prestige in the Qin State was greatly enhanced, but at the same time it also offended many old nobles. Many people dreamed of killing Shang Yang and taking revenge!
If it were a purely classical feudal world, then Shang Yang would be a lonely minister, a famous lonely minister. If such a lonely minister does not take the initiative to rebel and retreats bravely, the next generation of monarchs may not necessarily kill him.

However, the fate of most Tuogu ministers was not very good.The reasons for this are very complex, and it is not difficult to simply discuss personal merits or demerits.It is meaningless to discuss whether Minister Tuogu is a good person and whether the young monarch is a good person.

However, in this world where extraordinary people are rampant, Shang Yang is undoubtedly a strong man, and there are countless strong men in the world.

At this time, it is obviously unrealistic to wait until the older generation of Qin Hous dies and the new generation of Qin Hous succeeds, and then find a way to kill Shang Yang.Because no matter how you look at it, the loyalty of a great person is much more valuable than a group of old nobles.

If this great master is still loyal and has no intention of rebellion, then unless the young new monarch's head is caught in the door, he will not kill such an old senior no matter what.

Therefore, the Marquis of Qin had no intention of killing Shang Yang, so he took the opportunity to send Shang Yang out of Qin.

It was not said that he was exiled. The public statement was that Shang Yang would bring the main force of the Qin State to help the Chu State and resist the Wu State, so as to prevent the Chu State from being really destroyed.

As a price, Qin began to take the opportunity to destroy the two countries of Bashu and Bashu.

In the past, the two countries Ba and Shu, as well as Chu, were also greedy.Therefore, at that time, Ba and Shu could still be well preserved.Because Qin was greedy for them, and Chu was also greedy for them, and the spoils were unevenly divided, neither Qin nor Chu sent troops.

But this time, Qin sent troops, and Chu paid a lot of price, one of which was its acquiescence in allowing Qin to send troops to Ba and Chu.

Just like this moment, Shang Yang was discussing this matter with the Marquis of Qin.

"Martining, after Wuding opened the mountains, the road to Shu was completely opened up. Now the army has entered Chengdu, and the entire Shu Kingdom has completely fallen into its hands. Next is the Ba Kingdom!"

"Although Shu is ancient, it has many inheritances from ancient times. There is a secret place here called Sanxingdui. It is said that it contains the inheritance left by the predecessors from the Huangdi era. The locals said that they often see the three-legged golden crow. and the three-eyed man, according to these legends, this secret realm is probably related to the Yellow Emperor’s son.”

Hearing this, Shang Yang said directly: "It is said that the Yellow Emperor had three thousand sons. One of the sons was the son of the Yellow Emperor who married the daughter of a local leader of the Bashu generation. This son later came to Shu. Start to open up the Shu land."

"Any inheritance or secret realm, once it is related to the Yellow Emperor, will definitely not be simple. Perhaps, this secret realm can at least involve the best innate spiritual roots and the best spiritual treasures."

After hearing this, the Marquis of Qin in the distance continued: "Yes, there are so many treasures in Shu!"

"I heard that there is a hibiscus tree, but I don't know if it is true or not. I also heard that part of the body of the soldier master was sealed here. I also heard that this place is related to the three-legged golden crow..."

Hearing this, Shang Yang frowned slightly and reminded directly: "My lord, Shu has always been in ancient times. There are indeed many treasures, but there are more dangers."

"I heard that there are countless ghosts, gods, sacrifices, and beliefs in Shu. If we want to bring great rule to Shu, we must cut down mountains and destroy temples."

Hearing this, Qin Hou smiled indifferently: "Don't be afraid, although I don't know what the Lord of Juntian thinks, but since this Yongzhou Ding has come into my hands, it is my treasure. Now. The Great Qin Dynasty has occupied the land in Guanzhong, which happens to be opposite the Yongzhou Ding."

"When I got the Yongzhou Cauldron, I was just a first generation. As for Qi training, my qualifications are not good and I am just a Taoist priest."

"But now, in just 30 years, I have become a real person."

"Standing within the borders of Qin, even if the Three Saints come, I can still fight with them!"

"If we burn the fate of the country and use the power of the entire Qin Dynasty, even if the saint comes, I will not be afraid!"

"As for the demons and monsters in Shu, I just want to test the power of Yongzhou Ding. Let them die in the hands of Yongzhou Ding. It will be their honor!"

Hearing this, Shang Yang nodded slightly. This is indeed the truth.

Although there were many demons in Shu, Shang Yang didn't think that these demons could cause any harm to the Marquis of Qin who was holding the Yongzhou Cauldron. How could it be possible?Totally impossible!
"Next, I will continue to use troops from the Ba Kingdom, take this opportunity to seize the Bashu Plain, and then clean up the demons and ghosts in the Bashu Land, and finally control the water. So many things are waiting for Da Qin to do, this time Is it time for Jin to worry about civil strife?" After hearing this, Shang Yang nodded: "Now, the civil strife in Jin has become something that the whole world has been looking forward to for a long time. If there is no civil strife, in another ten or twenty years, Maybe all the countries are joining forces to attack Jin."

"At that time, the Qin Dynasty attacked Hangu Pass, Chu State marched north, Yancheng sent troops from the southeast, and Qi State marched west..."

"Martining, how is the state of Chu?"

Hearing this, Shang Yang remembered what he saw during the meeting today: "The people of Chu are now united and united."

"At least before Wu was driven away, Chu was relatively united."

"Today, the Marquis of Chu has become a Great Immortal. Because of the reform, Wang Jujun has also become a Great Immortal. His two junior brothers are now only one step away from being a Great Immortal."

"In addition, Xiang's son status has been successfully achieved."

"If there are three great masters in Chu State. On the noble side is Xiang Ji, on the Chu Hou side is Chu Hou himself. As for Wang Jujun, he is a reformist and can be regarded as a neutral faction."

"When Chu Hou has the upper hand, Wang Jujun will most likely help the nobles. Otherwise, if Chu Hou's temper is allowed to change, he will definitely abolish the noble assembly and want to centralize power. In that case, Wang Jujun's reform will be a complete failure."

"When the nobles have the upper hand, Wang Jujun will help Chu Hou again to ensure Chu Hou's basic rights and prevent the nobles from going further and directly treating Chu Chu as a puppet."

"In today's Chu State, although the nobles and Chu princes often have conflicts, with Wang Jujun as the lubricant, there really are no big problems. Moreover, with the passage of time, the Chu State has become more and more accustomed to today's noble meetings. In a few hundred years, even if the Marquis of Chu wants to change it, he will not be able to change it."

"So, although Chu State has some minor flaws, it is still very stable overall."

"As for the prefecture-level Taoist soldiers, Wang Jujun's juniors have indeed not been trained yet. However, his proposal to build various group trainings with clans, township parties, senior brothers, etc. as the core was deeply loved by the nobles. Now there are already Xiang Army, Huai Army and a series of Xuan-level Taoist soldiers."

"These Xuan-level Taoist soldiers have acceptable combat effectiveness and are very remarkable."

"Especially when guarding the home, when defending the hometown, these Xuan-level Taoist soldiers can temporarily exert the effect of earth-level Taoist soldiers at a huge cost, and can serve as one-time earth-level Taoist soldiers."

"Of course, these Xuan-level Taoist soldiers also have many fatal flaws, such as recruiting only fellow villagers. For example, it is difficult to reward meritorious service. In such an army, whether someone can be promoted or not often does not depend on whether they have made great contributions, but on whether they have made great contributions. Worship the right mountain."

"There are many hills inside. The closer the relationship is, the faster the promotion will be. The further the relationship is, the harder it will be for promotion, and they will even be suppressed secretly."

"So, such a Xuan-level Taoist soldier may seem powerful, but he will never be promoted to an Earth-level Taoist soldier."

"After the reform of Da Qin, we mainly fought in large corps. Now we have been training troops like the Iron Eagle Ruins, which is exploring prefecture-level Taoist soldiers. Although they have not yet been trained, they can be called quasi-terrestrial soldiers. As a Taoist soldier, the road is tortuous, but the future is bright."

"It would be understandable if countries like Song and Lu had similar Taoist soldiers. For these countries, it would be good to have Xuan-level Taoist soldiers like the Hunan Army and the Huai Army."

"But the Chu State is a big and powerful country. When the main force of a big or powerful country is a group of Xuan-level Taoist soldiers who have no hope of being promoted to the Earth-level Taoist soldiers, this country will lose hope."

"However, this is not entirely correct. Chu State also has real resourceful people. Therefore, in addition to these Xuan-level Taoist soldiers, Xiang Ji has been actively exploring earth-level Taoist soldiers."

"As for whether he has trained any prefecture-level Taoist soldiers after all these years, it's hard to say!"

Thinking of Xiang Ji's talent and the information about Xiang Ji that he had seen in various information, Shang Yang couldn't directly judge whether Xiang Ji had trained a prefecture-level Taoist soldier.

"In the Chu State today, there are three great masters alone. Taken together, there are no less than a hundred real masters and first generations!"

Having said this, Shang Yang sighed directly: "I can only say that it is worthy of the Chu State. Such hard power is really powerful, much stronger than today's Great Qin."

After hearing a hundred first generation and real people, Qin Hou also fell silent.

After a long time, the Marquis of Qin said: "It's okay, the future is long. When the land of Bashu is in hand and the land of Bashu is fully managed, our Qin State will come to compare with the Chu State."
