Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 433 Meeting with Zhang Cang!

After saying goodbye to the First Emperor, Zhao Si drove straight to his home.

It is worth mentioning that the scene this time was very different from before.

Xia Houying was originally Yu Lin in the palace, guarding the palace, but now he was recruited to drive for him, and there were more than fifty people accompanying him.

Fan Kuai is in the passenger seat, wearing armor and holding a sword, and Zhao Si is inside...

After all, they are relatives of the emperor, and all aspects of travel have been greatly improved. Even the son of the First Emperor did not go out with such a big pomp.

Those who knew about it thought Zhao Si was going home, while those who didn't know thought that Zhao Si was going on an expedition.

The two old guys, Fan Kuai and Xia Houying, looked at each other, smiled, and patted their horses and drove.

"Go back quickly, I'm afraid Mr. Zhang Cang and Xiao He can't wait any longer..."

Xia Houying heard the sound and slapped his horse. The horse neighed and the carriage galloped.

Clear the way to Habayashi Jingjie and march all the way...

Zhao Si's mansion was not far from the palace. It didn't take long for the carriage to arrive nearby. Xia Houying looked closely and saw a group of people waiting at the door of the mansion.

Obviously, the formation marching all the way was too big. Even if there was no advance notice, there would be enough time for Zhang Cang and his party to know about Zhao Si's return.

"I'm right, right? My lord has become a young master, and even Mr. Zhang Cang may not be able to calm down..." Fan Kuai scratched his head and looked at Xia Houying.

Fan Kuai and Xia Hou Ying were in charge of Yu Lin and guarded the palace. Therefore, although Zhao Si did not leave the palace, he could still contact and communicate with Xia Hou Ying and Fan Kuai.

But the rest of Zhang Cang and his party could only look at the palace and sigh with excitement. They even waited until Zhao Si's life experience was announced in the court to learn the news. They felt like left-behind children.

As the carriage approached, Zhao Si opened the curtain and took a look. He saw Yu Ji leading the maid, while Zhang Cang and a group of retainers and servants at home followed far behind. Zhao Si Seeing this, Si signaled Xia Houying to stop and planned to get out of the car to greet him.

The frame had just stabilized, and Zhao Si had just stepped off the frame when he saw a flash of yellow light from the side of the crowd opposite, and saw a large, colorful insect leaping out and heading straight for Zhao Si.

"Okay Amber!"

Zhao Si raised his feet to make a gesture, and Hu Huo's body rushed out and braked suddenly. His fingers and claws forced the brakes to plow out several ravines on the stone floor. In the end, he still failed to stop the car and hit Zhao Si full of his arms.

The impact brought by the tonnage of Amber, which was like a small tank, made Zhao Si squat on the ground unprepared. Fortunately, Zhao Si's physical fitness was far superior to that of ordinary people, so there was no hindrance.

Zhao Si was just about to give the reckless Hu Hu a brain-destroying blow when Hu Hu's big tongue had already licked it, and then he rubbed his big, beautiful head crazily in Zhao Si's arms. Zhao Si rubbed Hu Hu's big head and was about to get up, but saw Hu Hu Zhao Si forcibly pressed his head against his own body. Zhao Si didn't know what Amber meant, but he didn't resist. Amber's head flicked, and Zhao Si suddenly realized. He took advantage of the strength and turned around, riding firmly on Amber's back.

After all, Amber is different from ordinary beasts.

The waist of a feline is the weakest part, but the upper part is able to withstand a man like Zhao Si who weighs 500 pounds.

It's a bit counter-intuitive, but when you look at Kohaku's shoulder height, which is as tall as a strong bull, it doesn't feel weird anymore.

Amber shook her body twice, as if she was adapting to this kind of weight, and then, under the gaze of everyone, she walked elegantly and stopped in front of the person.

When he arrived in front of Yu Ji, Amber raised his head, curled his tail, and turned away from his big round head. There seemed to be human disdain on his face.

"You guy!" Zhao Si patted Amber's head when he saw this.

Yu Ji couldn't help laughing when she saw this, covering her mouth and laughing.

Behind him, Zhang Cang and all the ministers and disciples in the palace also laughed.

"okay!"

Zhao Si turned over and got off Amber, looked at Yu Ji and nodded, then bypassed Yu Ji and came to Zhang Cang.

"Xiao He, Cao Shen and Zhou Bo are not here?" Zhao Si asked.

"Young Master has not mentioned a return date when he entered the palace. They are not as free as me. They wait in the palace every day. They still have to serve in Xianyang. They cannot slack off in official duties and waste time. But don't worry, Young Master. I have already sent someone to inform you. No need. How long will it take to come back?" Zhang Cang teased Zhao Si with a smile.

With such big news, it is outrageous that these disciples could only meet the lord Zhao Si at this time.

But this can't be blamed on Zhao Si. Zhao Si didn't even know what was going on before he entered the palace.

After entering the palace, the First Emperor directly detained him and forced Zhao Si to live in the palace. He was fine when he went there and could not go back.

Everyone returned to the house first. Zhao Si went inside to spend some time with Yu Ji, and then hurriedly came to the hall. Zhang Cang, Xia Hou Ying and Fan Kuai had obviously been waiting for a long time.

As soon as Zhao Si entered, Zhang Cang squinted his eyes, stood up with a smile, and said, "I have met the young master, Zhang Cang!"

Fan Kuai and Xia Houying on the side also smiled and followed suit.

"Sir, it's really..." Zhao Si waved his hand, knowing that Zhang Cang was making fun of him, and sat down calmly.

"My lord has now become the crown prince. Such a great thing, but I want to get some luck from my lord."

"Okay, okay, I'll beg you some maids from the Wang family." Zhao Si smiled helplessly.

"I am not a maid, but I am a beautiful woman!" Zhang Cang chuckled, his eyebrows twitching lively on his fair and fat face.

Fan Kuai and Xia Houying looked at each other and laughed.

Zhang Cang was indeed very beautiful, and even among his beauties, he was a good woman, which was once the subject of laughter in the house.

As the most senior disciple, Zhang Cang has no airs at all. Thanks to Zhang Cang's high emotional intelligence, all the disciples under Zhao Si can work together.

"But not to mention these, there is another big thing..." Zhao Si said seriously while suppressing his smile.

"Your Majesty made me the king of Zhao. Do you have any opinions?" Zhao Si said in a deep voice, not loudly. He fell on the spot and there was silence in the hall for a moment.

The smiles of Fan Kuai and Xia Houying seemed to be frozen on their faces. They were stunned for a long time. Even Zhang Cang, who had the deepest concentration, couldn't help but blinked for a moment, wondering if he had heard wrongly.

The appointment of the king to Zhao was something that had just been announced in the palace during the court meeting, and had not yet been made public to the courtiers. Therefore, Zhang Cang naturally had no way of knowing until Zhao Si said it.

"Young Master, are you talking about being crowned king?" Zhang Cang rubbed his fat face, a little unsure.

"Well, it was decided at the court meeting today. All the three princes and nine ministers know about it, but your majesty has not yet issued an order to inform the court officials." Zhao Si nodded.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Cang looked at Fan Kuai and Xia Houying with a resentful look on his face.

"Why do you look at me like this, sir?" Fan Kuai scratched his head in confusion.

"Something big happened in the palace, and you didn't tell me first?"

"Although Xia Houying and I guard the imperial palace, we are only a mere captain. How did we know about such a big event?" Fan Kuai said matter-of-factly.

"Don't say that sir is not prepared. I am not prepared at all for such a thing." Xia Houying also took a deep breath and nodded.

After Xia Houying finished speaking, the atmosphere fell into silence.

Ok……

The matter is a bit big, so I need to slow down.

Their lord is crowned king!

King Zhao!

A land of one country!

What a meteoric rise!

The official positions of the retainers under Zhao Si were generally not very high. Xia Houying and Chen Ping were no more than eight hundred stone captains.

Zhang Cang even has no position. The ones who were most confused were Liu Bang, Lu Wan and others who were in Heibingtai.

There is nothing that can be done about it. Da Qin's promotion channel system is there, and no one can avoid it if they accumulate qualifications and earn merit.

How much time has passed since returning to Xianyang to become an official? It's not a big deal. They usually hang around in and out of Xianyang. Naturally, they can't perform extraordinary feats like Liu Bang, Lu Wan, Chen Sheng, and Wu Guang who are in the black ice platform.

But, it’s different now!

What is a feudal king?

That means that Zhao Si has the greatest rights over a country.

As Zhao Si's confidants, they had a shortcut to success in one step.

Zhang Cang was still digesting the news, but Fan Kuai had already laughed out loud and then asked straightforwardly: "Then since the Lord has granted the title of King of Zhao, can I not be in charge of the army?"

Fan Kuai is more upright...

Although for Fan Kuai, becoming the captain of the Yulin Army is also a kind of identity transition for him.

But it's a little too boring.

Although the Yulin Army is safe, well-paid, has a noble status, has a strong voice, and has sufficient seniority, it is really unpleasant to be surrounded by palace restrictions and regulations.

In Fan Kuai's eyes, the advantages of the Yulin Army are that they have many things to do, are troublesome, and are not very convenient.

"Lead the troops, lead the troops for you..." Zhao Si waved his hand and then looked at Zhang Cangfu, who was frowning in thought, and spoke again.

"However, although Your Majesty has made me King of Zhao, I cannot leave Xianyang. Therefore, if you make me king this time, I am afraid that I will have to trouble you to govern Zhao for me. The matter involves local military, political and taxation. Sir, you can decide it with one word. The reason why Your Majesty appointed me as King of Zhao is to hope that the Zhao land will be stabilized as soon as possible, so I am afraid that your husband will no longer be able to be as free as you are now, so please do your best," Zhao Si said.

"My lord will not go to Zhao?" Zhang Cang was surprised, his eyebrows twitched, and he became suspicious of such an unreasonable thing. However, there was too much missing information, so he could not speculate immediately, so he looked at Zhao Si Open your mouth.

"Let's see. Anyway, Chen Ping, Xiao He and the others will arrive soon. My lord, why don't you talk to me carefully about what will happen after entering the palace, so that I can have a clear idea and make a decision."

Zhao Si nodded and began to review Zhang Cang...

There is no way, things happened in a hurry, Zhao Si himself has only just recovered his strength...

Besides, Zhang Cang and the others were better off after all. After all, they were in Xianyang. They only found out a day or two too late.

As for Han Xin and Li Shiqi, who were far away in the grassland, they were not just there for a day or two at night.

In fact... Han Xin, who was far away on the grassland, did not know anything about what happened in Xianyang.

In this era of slow news transmission, this is inevitable, not to mention that Han Xin is really far away...

The far west...

Han Xin was leading his troops to chase the remaining defeated generals of the Yue clan.

Han Xin and Mao Dun joined forces to defeat Donghu, and Donghu was divided into Xianbei and Wuheng. Han Xin captured 60,000 people.

Among the 60,000 people, only 30,000 were barely able to fight with the army.

Lacking clothes and food, and unable to follow the same orders and prohibitions as the Qin army, and even unable to understand the Qin army's orders, they were a pure mob.

But it is not just a mob, it depends on whose hands it is and who is leading the battle.

Using his family as his weakness, military honors as stimulation, the army as a deterrent, and strict laws as his driving force, Han Xin led 40,000 troops. Join forces with the Xiongnu and continue to advance towards Yuezhi Zhu.

To be honest, Donghu's defeat came too quickly.

But although the Yuezhi King was in a hurry, he still did not think that Qin and the Xiongnu would rashly launch an attack on the Yuezhi.

Judging from the geographical location of the grassland, the Yueshi are entrenched in the Western Region, while the Donghu are entrenched in the Liaodong area, and the Xiongnu are sandwiched in the middle to occupy the Hetao area.

The Huns of the Qin Dynasty joined forces to attack Donghu, which meant that the troops and horses moved eastward, and the straight-line distance from the Yueshi naturally became further.

After the defeat of Donghu, naturally some Donghu people ran into the Yuezhi territory, arousing the Yuezhi's vigilance. However, from the perspective of large-scale military operations, the best choice for Daqin should be to beat the fallen dogs and destroy the divided Xianbei and Wuheng. Defeat them completely instead of traveling long distances to attack the Yueshi.

After all, the Qin army traveled a long distance to attack Donghu unexpectedly, and then they made another long journey twice as far in a short period of time... it was incredible.

You know, the weather has gradually become colder, and even counting the loot is enough to delay the Huns and Qin until the heavy snow falls. No one would think that the Huns and Qin would travel long distances to attack the Yueshi at this time.

However, the leader of the army was Han Xin, who was crazy about making meritorious deeds. His subordinate was Xiang Yu who was even crazier, and the accompanying envoy was a madman like Li Shiqi.

The Xiongnu Chanyu Maodun, who cooperated with Da Qin, was also a heroic leader.

Therefore, Yuezhi still underestimated this group of outstanding people.

They integrated their troops in the shortest time, and Mao Dun killed many soldiers and generals in order to send troops as soon as possible.

Just to beat the Yuezhi before winter comes.

Han Xin wanted to achieve meritorious service and achieve his strategic intentions in one battle, while Mao Dun naturally wanted to use the help of Qin to wipe out all the powerful enemies worth mentioning on the grassland.

Both of them knew that this opportunity might only come once in their lives, so they hit it off immediately. Although the two countries were joining forces, there was no barrier between them.

So, after a rapid march, they attacked Yueshi by surprise.

Same success...

The Yuezhi King was captured alive because of this. After the Yuezhi Royal Court was destroyed, the same thing as Donghu happened.

The Yuezhi also split and ran away...

Among them, the Xihous of Xiumi, Shuangmi, Guishang, Zhidun, and Dumi dispersed and fled separately. Because Han Xin needed the population, he kept chasing them one after another, so the slower ones, Xiumi, Shuangmi, Zedun, and Dumi, The Jihou of the Fourth Mi tribe suffered heavy losses, but the Kushan lineage retained a lot of effective strength.

Because the Hexi Corridor connects the Western Regions, Yuezhi can run much faster than Donghu.

All the way to the west, even Han Xin was beyond his reach. After crossing the Ili River, Han Xin stopped chasing, and the Kushan tribe further increased its right to speak because it suffered minimal losses.

As for annexation, annexation is not possible. Now we are all brothers and sisters. We were suddenly driven from our hometowns to a strange place. We are not familiar with the place, so we are at a loss about the future.

"Damn Qin people, destroyed my homeland and took away my people! One day, I will take revenge!" A young man in rich clothes hammered the flagpole beside him with hatred.

"Revenge aside, I heard that this is Wusun's territory. If we stop here, Wusun will inevitably take advantage of others' danger. There is also a river to the south. If we go south, relying on the river, we may be able to go there again. Settling down and making a living.”

The Yueshi are also unfamiliar here, so they can only vaguely describe the terrain, and they can't even name the river.

If Zhao Si were here, he could name the river.

Amu Darya, the largest river in Central Asia.

It is also the destined place of Kushan.

Two migrations, constant defeats, but also the official rise of an empire.

Of course, this is also a disaster for the indigenous people.

Escape from the East Asian monster room and go abuse food!
