Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 429, has been my Central Plains thing since ancient times

Although Li Mu didn't know why Ziyou said that, he still believed Ziyou.

"Is this the weapon that condenses Zhao Guo's military fortune?" Li Mu said, looking at the sword on Ziyou's waist.

Ziyou casually handed the deer-chasing sword to Li Mu. Li Mu took the Zhulu Sword. As soon as he pulled out the sword, he felt an unprecedented sharp military aura. Just when Li Mu was about to take a closer look at the Zhulu Sword, Li Mu was greatly moved, and then put the Zhulu Sword in his hand on the table. .

"There's something wrong with this sword." Li Mu put down the sword and said. Just when he was concentrating on looking at the sword, a murderous and violent aura suddenly emerged from deep in his heart, and it kept trying to occupy his mind. , almost arousing the murderous spirit that he had suppressed for many years.

As a military strategist, it is inevitable to go to the battlefield, and going to the battlefield will inevitably cause killing, which makes these military strategists prone to mental problems. Some people with a weak mentality are affected by these murderous auras and will become murderous and furious. Thus becoming a murderer. This is the path that every generation of military strategists must walk. Li Mu had fought for Zhao for many years and killed nearly 300,000 people in one battle at Yanmen Pass. This meant that Li Mu had a deep state of mind and suppressed these killing karma.

But as soon as Li Mu got the Zhulu Sword, the suppressed killing karma in his heart was aroused and almost broke through his mental defense line. This made Li Mu very wary of the Zhulu Sword.

"That's right, this sword was made from the fragments of the Demon God of War made by Chi You after Emperor Xuanyuan defeated Chi You, the evil aura caused by the Zhulu battlefield and the luck of the world. If it hadn't been nourished by the luck of the world for thousands of years, This sword became the weapon of Zhao's military fortune, otherwise this sword would have been a demon sword more powerful than the demon sword shark tooth," Ziyou said.

"What are you going to do with this sword? Except for you who are protected by Zhanlu, anyone else who holds this sword will become a murderer in the end and become a slave of this sword." Li Mu was a little worried. said.

"Qin State lacks a Ding Qin Sword, and I'm going to melt it." Ziyou said with a smile.

Hearing that Ziyou wanted to melt it, Zhulujian seemed to feel scared, and his whole body trembled, trying to struggle to escape, but Ziyou slapped the sword body, and Zhulujian became quiet.

Li Mu looked at Ziyou in surprise. Such a rare sword in the world, Ziyou, actually melted. He felt that Ziyou was a bit prodigal, and he was also worried about a problem.

"The State of Qin was founded by force. You know why the Black Dragon was born, right? It was born from the State of Qin. In addition, the State of Qin has been fighting for many years. The Black Dragon itself has a lot of killing power. You can use this weapon again." The sword melted and became the Ding Qin sword of the Qin State. It is not worth laying a huge danger for the military fortune of the Zhao State and the fate of the Qin State." Li Mu said.

Ziyou knew that Li Mu's move was not to preserve Zhao's military fortunes, but to tell the truth. The fusion of the Zhulu Sword into the Ding Qin Sword will indeed affect the fate of the Qin State. King Wuling of Zhao must have discovered the disadvantages brought by the Zhulu Sword, otherwise he would not have placed the Zhulu Sword in the underground palace of Daijun instead of Zhao. In the treasure house of the palace.

When King Zhao Wuling originally wanted to divide the Zhao Kingdom, in addition to balancing his two sons, he probably also wanted to make Handan the main one and Daijun the supplementary one. benefits to come.

"Of course we know this, but there is no way to deal with it, right? Moreover, the evil spirit and star fragments carried by Zhulu Sword are not useless. If used well, it can be regarded as a kind of help." Ziyou said.

"Do you want to imitate Chi You and create the Demon God of War?" Li Mu asked with a frown. Although weapons like the Bing Demon God are powerful, they are harmful to Tianhe, and if they get out of control, they will cause irreparable losses. Even Li Mu, who likes dangerous tactics, does not think this is a good idea.

"The Demon God of War? Do you want it? I have one ready-made here." Ziyou asked in surprise.

"Do you have it ready-made?" Li Mu stood up in surprise and said.

"Although it's not in my hands yet, if I want it, it will be soon." Ziyou said.

"I really don't know what kind of luck Qin has suffered?" Li Mu glanced at Ziyou and said. Li Mu also knew about war weapons like the Demon God of War. It could help Chi You fight Xuanyuan Huangdi in the early stage, which is enough to show its power. If in a large-scale battlefield or siege, such a weapon would be a magical weapon. I am afraid that only the Mohist Qinglong can fight against the devil.

"Qin's luck has always been very good." Ziyou said.

"First tell me how you will deal with the evil spirit in Zhulu Sword." Li Mu asked.

"It is said that the reason why Huangdi Xuanyuan was able to defeat Chi You was all thanks to the help of the Nine Heavens Xuannv. Eighty of the eighty-one Soldier Demon Gods were destroyed, and the remaining one was hidden by the Nine Heavens Xuannv in Loulan. , including the Chi You Sword used by Chi You to control the Demon God of Soldiers, is also in Loulan. In order to prevent the Demon God of Soldiers from falling into the hands of people with ulterior motives and endangering the common people, the key to the Demon God of Soldiers was turned into a dragon soul and handed over to the ninth son of Shenlong, Pixiu, for protection. The Demon God of War was sealed in Loulan by the Nine Heavens Xuannv, and was guarded by the people of Loulan for generations.

There is also a treasure in Loulan called the Tears of the Goddess. It is said that they were transformed from the tears of the Nine Heavens Xuannv and have the power to purify everything. " Ziyou said.

"Are you planning to steal Loulan's Tears of the Goddess?" Li Mu said.

"What is robbing? Who gave Loulan the Tears of the Goddess?" Ziyou asked.

"Nine Heaven Mysteries." Li Mu said.

"Is Jiutian Xuannv here to assist Xuanyuan Huangdi? Xuanyuan Huangdi is our ancestor, Jiutian Xuannv is also a deity respected by our Central Plains orthodoxy, and is respected by us as one of our ancestors. Our descendants will take back the ancestors' Is there something wrong with the relics?" Ziyou said angrily, "The ancestors' belongings have been in the hands of foreign barbarians for many years. It is my fault and the descendants of the future. When I think about this, I can't sleep at night. I must bring all the ancestors' belongings back. !”

Li Mu looked at Ziyou's awe-inspiring look, and thought he was the one who was going to be robbed? Anyway, things like slogan debates all depend on what Confucianism says. If Ziyou has his sights on Loulan, then Confucianism will do its best to help Ziyou get a good reputation.

"As long as you're happy, it's just that Loulan is located in the Western Region, so it's not easy to get there." Li Mu said.

"The tribe of King Youxian has surrendered to Qin. They know the way to the Western Regions. As long as they wait for the unification of the Central Plains, they will go to Loulan!" Ziyou said.

Li Mu was even more shocked. Although he knew that the Qin State defeated the Youxian King's tribe and even killed the Youxian King, he did not expect that the Qin State actually controlled the Youxian King's tribe. The grassland is extremely difficult to tame. The grassland tribes live a nomadic life chasing water and grass. They have no cities or land. If you want to win, you must build cities and relocate the people. This is a huge expense and not an ordinary country can afford it. Otherwise, depending on Li Mu's attack on the grassland, as long as Zhao has the national strength to build a city and occupy the grassland, half of the grassland will belong to Zhao.

"I didn't expect Qin to be so powerful." Li Mu could only sigh.

"That's not necessarily true. Building cities on a large scale is definitely not possible. Now the Qin State only occupies areas close to the border and suitable for farming, and builds cities. But in more places, it relies on grassland tribes to use barbarians to check the barbarians. Way." Ziyou said. The general strategy of the Qin State is to gradually assimilate the senior officials of the Youxian King Tribe and let them gradually accept the culture of the Central Plains. The Qin State does not seek to directly swallow up the entire Youxian King Tribe, but gradually develops it into a transitional zone integrating agriculture and animal husbandry. Swallow it slowly.

Li Mu didn't say anything else. He was now a member of the Qin State. If the grassland really rebelled, he could overthrow them as long as the King of Qin dared to give him troops. When he was at Yanmen Pass with backward weapons and equipment and insufficient food and grass, he was able to overwhelm the 300,000-strong grassland coalition army, let alone the Qin army with well-trained, advanced equipment and sufficient food and grass. As long as he wanted to, he could directly defeat the Xiongnu King Longcheng. .

After the conversation was over, the two separated. Ziyou did not go to Zhao Palace but took Concubine Yan, Xue Nu, Yan Lingji and Mo Ya Baifeng back to Luo Wang's inn to wait for Wang Jian's arrival.

At this time, Wang Jian was stationed at the South Great Wall and did not leave, leaving only 50,000 troops behind. The remaining troops were all sent out to recover other cities. The surrender edict sent by King Zhao Qian from Li Mu made all the cities in the south of Zhao surrender. Their kings all surrendered, Handan was gone, and they no longer risked their lives. Originally, Wang Jian only needed to send people to guard Wucheng and the South Great Wall, but he received news that Ying Zheng was already in Zhongmou and was about to reach the border of Qin and Zhao, so he stationed again, waiting for Ying Zheng's arrival, before entering Handan City. .

The reason why Ying Zheng's motorcade was so fast was entirely due to the roads built by Ying Zheng's Kan Yu family and Moh family leaders. They had professional planning, various convenient tools, and relied on a large number of prisoners and work-for-relief services. This method recruited people to work during the slack period, so that the Qin State's original plan of ten years to build straight roads within the Qin State was shortened to six years.

With the existence of straight roads, Ying Zheng's team is naturally extremely fast.

"Your Majesty, General Wang Jian has received news that Handan has been captured, Zhao Wangqian and all Zhao family members have been captured, and Zhao Wangqian's surrender edict has also been issued. General Mengwu has left east, General Li Xin and Chenping County Shou also captured Dai County, and the entire Zhao Kingdom has been owned by the Qin Kingdom. Congratulations to the king!" Zhao Gao reported to Ying Zheng with a smile.

Ying Zheng put down the memorial in his hand and said with some surprise

"So soon? I thought I had to wait for a while."

"Li Mu was persuaded by the Taiwei to surrender to Qin. The State of Zhao was naturally powerless to resist. Our Qin army was so powerful that the King was so powerful. General Wang Jian said that the army knew that the King was going to come to Zhao in person. Everyone was full of morale and fought for it. They are rushing to conquer Handan and make the Zhao Palace a place for King Xunyou. When these Zhao people saw the army sent by the King, they were like crumbling dogs and were defeated easily. They all relied on the King. Divine power!" Zhao Gao slapped him in the face.

"A few people don't have much effect. These are all the work of the teacher, Wang Jian and our Great Qin soldiers." Ying Zheng said with a smile. Although Ying Zheng said so, the raised corners of his mouth and the unconcealable smile in his eyes were enough to show that Zhao Gao's flattery was still effective.

"Send this memorial to the prince for correction." Ying Zheng said, pointing to some of the uncorrected memorials piled on the table.

"No!" Zhao Gao said.

Zhao Gao personally took these memorials and got into Fusu's car.

Ying Zheng looked in the direction of Handan, pulled out the windlass sword on the side, and swung the sword in the direction of Handan.

Because Ying Zheng was impatient, the motorcade arrived at the South Great Wall the next day, where Wang Jian was stationed. After Wang Jian paid homage to Ying Zheng, he was told that Ying Zheng did not reward Wang Jian, or even receive Wang Jian. Wang Jian was well aware of this, so he led his army to protect Ying Zheng and headed towards Handan.

Wang Jian felt a little regretful at the moment, because his greatest wish to defeat Li Mu was not fulfilled because of this battle to attack Zhao. Although he knew in his heart that it was impossible to defeat Li Mu by relying solely on military tactics, he did not rely solely on military tactics when marching. If they really fight, Wang Jian is 80% sure of defeating Li Mu.

"It's a pity. We can only see if there are opportunities in the future." Wang Jian said in a low voice.

Wang Jian also understood Ying Zheng's plan. He also knew that Li Mu was going to be named a Taiwei. He knew that he could not become this Taiwei. He had too many military achievements now. If he was named a Taiwei again, he would be the next white man. If you get up, even if you don't die, you will be hidden in the snow.

As the motorcade drove, it would soon arrive at Handan City.

Ying Zheng opened the curtains and looked at Handan City not far away, his eyes sparkling. After twelve years, he finally returned to Handan City.

Soon the convoy stopped, and Ying Zheng's driver continued towards Handan City. At this time, at the gate of Handan City,

Zhao Wangqian was dressed in white, with a jade in his mouth, his hands tied behind his back, and his upper body naked. Zhao Wangqian, who was holding an white sheep, looked at the carriage parked in front of him, his eyes filled with death. The officials of Zhao State were kneeling on the ground with their heads lowered and did not dare to speak. They naturally knew who was in the carriage. They were afraid of Ying Zheng, fearing that Ying Zheng would take revenge for the humiliation in Handan.

Standing in front of Li Mu and Meng Tian, ​​he saluted Ying Zheng's carriage.

"I pay my respects to the King and respectfully ask the King to get out of the car!"

"I pay my respects to the King and respectfully ask the King to get out of the car!"

Zhao Gao opened the curtain, and Ying Zheng stepped out of the carriage. Looking at Zhao Wangqian and the officials and people of Zhao who were kneeling in front of him, Ying Zheng was filled with the pleasure of revenge.

"Excuse me, sir!" Ying Zheng said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Ziyou and others straightened up and focused on Zhao Wangqian. Ying Zheng also looked at Zhao Wangqian with some disgust in his eyes.

"Zhao Gao declares the edict." Ying Zheng said coldly.

"Nuo!" Zhao Gao took out the edict and began to read it loudly.

"During his reign, King Zhao Qian used his sycophants to massacre the common people and their family members who had meritorious deeds. He had no moral character and made heaven angry and resentful. He gave death to comfort the souls of the slaughtered people in heaven!"
