Getting Simulated By The Empress Is Not My Intention

  Chapter 154 Qianjin Shima

   The simulation continues.

   For the time being, there is no need to worry about the future, and the development speed of Yan State has been greatly improved.

   At this time, Yan Guo faced another problem.

  Because of the poverty and weakness of Yan State before, there were very few talents in Yan State. If you rank them according to the level of the cards, the general Qing Bai and the prime minister Li Fu of the former Yan Kingdom can't even be counted as gold cards, they can only be counted as five-star purple cards.

  The only gold card is Guo Guang, but he is an assassin, and he is old now, so he is not very useful for governing the country.

  After Zhang Beichen opened the lecture hall, he trained some junior and middle-level generals, but what Yan State needs at this time is senior talents, and they will not be able to train them for a while.

  …

  Yan Qingwu approached Zhang Beichen to discuss recruiting talents.

  She said: "This king has issued a recruitment order for several years, but there are only a handful of scholars who come to Yan. Is there any way for the prime minister?"

  Zhang Beichen pondered: "Yan State has been poor and weak for a long time. Although it is gradually becoming stronger now, it is still much worse than the surrounding Wei State, Zhao State and others."

   "The kings of Wei, Zhao, and Qin all offered generous rewards to attract talents. Compared with them, the state of Yan has no advantage."

  The more times you simulate, the higher the difficulty. Because the monarchs of other countries have become "virtuous monarchs", they know the disadvantages of reforming the country and value talents.

  In this way, strong countries will become stronger, and weak countries will find it difficult to stand up.

  Zhang Beichen continued: "If Yan Guo wants to recruit talents, it can only offer more generous rewards to attract scholars from all over the world!"

  Yan Qingwu said: "The king doubled the salaries of officials!"

   "Not only!" Zhang Beichen said, "The most critical issue now is to convince the scholars of all countries that the king can indeed give them preferential treatment!"

   "Then what should I do?" Yan Qingwu felt that she had tried many methods, and now the conditions she offered were much better than those of King Wei.

   "Of course we want to establish trust!" Previously, Zhang Beichen moved to Muli to establish trust during the simulation of Qin State, and gained the trust of the people.

   Now, he needs to let King Yan gain the trust of the scholars.

  Zhang Beichen said: "Do you still remember, Your Majesty? You once spent thousands of gold to buy a Maxima."

   "Yeah, didn't you buy it?" Yan Qingwu nodded. These days, Maxima is the standard equipment of kings, and almost every king has his own BMW.

   And because Yan Guo was too poor before, Yan Qingwu did not have a good horse. After Zhang Beichen carried out economic reforms, Yan Qingwu also became rich, so he spent a lot of money to buy a Maxima.

   It's just that such a good horse is rare, and I haven't bought it yet.

  Zhang Beichen said with a smile: "I remember that there was a minister who went to the Western Regions to buy a Chollima. He bought a Chollima, but because of the long journey, the Chollima was already dead. The King can buy the horse bone with money."

   "Is there such a thing?" Yan Qingwu didn't remember it at all, Zhang Beichen said with a smile: "Of course I made it up."

   "Your Majesty only needs to perform a show and go forward to buy horse bones. The world will see that His Majesty will do what he says, and the scholars will naturally come to the Kingdom of Yan."

   "Routine! Zhang Beichen, you have so many tricks!" Yan Qingwu said with emotion.

   She complied anyway.

On this day, when Yan Qingwu went to court, a courtier came to the hall with a horse bone and reported to her: "Your Majesty, I went to the Western Regions to buy a Chollima. Although I have already bought it, the Chollima died of illness on the way, and now I only bring back a pair of horses. Horse bone, please be punished by the king!"

The courtiers thought that Yan Qingwu would punish him, but Yan Qingwu said: "This king said, you can buy a horse with a thousand dollars. You have completed your mission. As for the death of a thousand-mile horse, it is unpredictable. This king will do what he says. Still rewarding you with a thousand pieces of gold!"

   "Come on, bounty!"

  Yan Qingwu asked someone to present a thousand gold rewards to the courtiers. The courtiers were envious, and at the same time admired King Yan's heroic spirit and keeping promises.

  【Under Zhang Beichen’s deliberate dissemination, the story of you buying a horse bone with a thousand dollars quickly spread all over the world. People praised him one after another, and King Yan kept his promise. 】

   At this time, the simulator reminded Zhang Beichen that he had unlocked a purple skin.

  【Thousand Gold City Horse: Yan Qingwu】Purple four stars.

  On the screen, there is a picture of Yan Qingwu rewarding the ministers, and the ministers praised him.

  Zhang Beichen looked at the original painting, and compared with the relatively immature Yan Qingwu before, Yan Qingwu now has a bit of the coercive air of a queen.

  …

  The advertisement has been posted, and the next step is the operation.

  Yan Qingwu built a golden platform in Jicheng as a place to recruit talents, and all scholars who were hired would be appointed officials and rewards.

  【The news of the Golden Terrace recruiting talents spread, scholars from all over the world heard the news and came to Yan Country to seek jobs. 】

  Zhang Beichen personally sits at the Golden Terrace and selects talents for the Yan Kingdom.

  【Five years later, the country of Yan will be full of talented people, and it will be a thriving scene. 】

  …

  By this time, the national power of Yan State is already enough to rank among the top seven countries.

  Zhang Beichen opened the news of the general trend of the world. After so many years, all the countries such as Zhongshan, Song, Lu, and Bashu have been annexed.

  Among the Seven Kingdoms, South Korea was swallowed up by Wei Guo because of its innate inadequacy.

   Zhao Guo has been trying to attack Yan Guo, but they were all defended.

  Chu, Qin, and Wei are still strong.

  There is only Qi, because of internal strife and external enemies, the territory has been reduced by nearly half!

   "We must eat Qi State quickly, otherwise Qi State will be swallowed by Zhao State and Chu State!" Zhang Beichen thought.

   At the beginning of the simulation, Qi was not weak.

  In the initial strength ranking, the strength of Qi State is even higher than that of Zhao State! Its strongest point is that it has many famous ministers, especially military disciples, so its military strength is strong.

   But in many simulations, Qi has never become a hegemony.

   This is because there are forces within Qi who are vying for the throne. Zhang Beichen has seen at least five different Qi kings!

  The same is true in this round. At this time, King Qi is not the initial heroine in the simulator game, but the original prime minister of Qi, Tian Heng.

  【You wrote to the King of Yan, requesting to send troops to attack Qi, and the King of Yan agreed. 】

  Zhang Beichen has been training soldiers for a long time. He directly recruited 300,000 troops to attack Qi.

  【King Zhao learned that Yan State was attacking Qi State, and ordered Xinnan to lead 200,000 troops to attack Qi State. 】

  【King of Chu heard the news that Yan State was attacking Qi State, and ordered Xiang Mu to lead 200,000 troops to attack Qi State. 】

   Several monarchs had a tacit understanding and did not rescue Qi.

  Because Qi State is backed by the sea, even if it supports Qi State, Yan State may steal Qi State’s back route from the waterway.

  As for Zhang Beichen, this game is in the country of Yan, and the country of Yan is powerful. She feels that she can't keep the country of Qi, so she might as well take the opportunity to share a piece of meat.

  【The Three Kingdoms attacked Qi together, and the Qi army fought hard to resist, but it was of no avail. 】

  【After Qi State stubbornly resisted for two years, the Yan army broke through the capital of Qi State, killed Qi King Tian Heng, and Qi State perished. 】

  The Three Kingdoms began to carve up the land of Qi State. Yan State made the fastest move and naturally divided it the fastest, followed by Zhao State, and Chu State also allocated more than a dozen cities.

  …

  The seven countries have eliminated two countries, and the competition between the next few countries will be more intense. It can be said that each country has its eyes on the other, and if anyone falls behind, it will be quickly annexed.

  Qin State, Ying Yiren is not feeling well in this round.

  According to the usual practice, she will first change her ways to become stronger, then recover the surrounding land, and then attack South Korea and Zhao to compete in the Central Plains.

  But because of Zhang Beichen's coquettish operation, an accident occurred in the development of Qin State.

  Because Zhang Beichen donated supplies to Maotai for Yan. Maotai's development speed is many times faster than before.

  Although Maotai failed to annex Donghu, he quickly annexed the grassland tribes.

  When Yan State and other countries attacked Qi State, Maotai defeated King Zuoxie of Monan Royal Court, and King Zuoxie bowed his head and proclaimed himself a minister!

   In this way, the Xiongnu Empire actually appeared ahead of the formation of the Central Plains Empire!

  Although the Xiongnu Empire at this time was not as powerful as it had been simulated in the past, Qin had not unified the world, and could not go north to the grasslands and defeat the Xiongnu.

  After the Xiongnu became stronger, their main goal was to go south to attack the Central Plains.

  The two countries it is best to attack, one is the Yan State, and the other is the Qin State.

  According to the previous simulation habits, the Huns will attack Yan State first and break through from the direction of Shanggu County.

  However, this time, Yan Guo not only annexed Donghu, but also trained many Donghu cavalry. This made Maotai feel that it was not worthwhile to attack Yan, so he aimed at Qin.

  Thus, the Yingyi people had no choice but to resist the invasion of the Hun Empire, even if they could not care about fighting for world hegemony.

  【The Qin State and the Xiongnu fought again and again, and both sides won and lost. 】

  Qin was not defeated, but its development was delayed.

  The neighboring states of Wei, Zhao, and Yan are staring at each other.

  …

  Yan State, Yan Qingwu is receiving envoys who came to Wei State. Gongsun Yan.

  Gongsun Yan said to Yan Qingwu: "Wei envoy Gongsun Yan, pay homage to King Yan."

   "Gongsun Yan, why are you here?" Yan Qingwu asked.

   Gongsun Yan said: "King Yan, my king decided to send troops to attack Qin, and specially sent ministers to invite King Yan to send troops together. If Qin is defeated, my king is willing to carve up Qin with Yan."

  Yan Qingwu thought, if Yan Guo joined forces with Wei Guo at this time, it would definitely be no problem to fight Qin Guo.

   But what does Zhao Guo think? Will King Zhao form an alliance with King Qin?

  If Zhao Wang joins, things will be hard to say. There is also the king of Chu. Although he has less interaction with them, the king of Chu will definitely not let go of this opportunity.

   "At this time, the king still needs to think about it. You will stay in the country of Yan for the time being." Yan Qingwu said.

  Yan Qingwu asked the officials for their opinions.

  Qing Bai said: "Your Majesty, now our Yan army is strong and strong, and it is possible to send troops to Qin State!"

  Li Fu suggested: "Your Majesty, it is not a problem to conquer Qin. The key is how to divide the land after defeating Qin."

   "Your Majesty, you think that the northern border of Qin State will face the invasion of the Huns. And most of the land that King Wei promised us just now will face the attacks of the Huns."

   "Such land, not only is it not a harvest, but it will become our burden!"

  Yan Qingwu said: "This king also knows this truth, but if my country Yan does not agree, Wei Guo and Zhao Guo will carve up Qin country, which is not good for my Yan country."

  Zhang Beichen said: "Since this is the case, why don't we agree first. After Wei Guo and Qin Guo go to war, we will turn to attack Zhao Guo."

   "At this time, both Wei and Qin are restrained by the war and unable to help. The king of Chu should not help Zhao at this time, but will stab Zhao in the back. If it works properly, we will have a chance to take down Zhao."

  Yan Qingwu nodded and said: "The prime minister's words are very kind, then follow the prime minister's words. First pretend to agree to the king of Wei, but actually attack Zhao!"

  …

  【The king of Yan agreed to the invitation of the king of Wei to form an alliance, and decided to send 300,000 troops to attack Qin with the Wei army. 】

  【Qin State asked Chu State and Zhao State for assistance, Chu State rejected Qin State's request, Zhao Wang agreed to send troops to aid. 】

  Now the situation is better for Yan, because Zhao promised to assist Qin, so Yan’s attack on Zhao is not considered a breach of the covenant, and it can preserve the reputation of King Yan’s "trustworthiness".

  【The Wei army and the Qin army began to fight. At this time, the Yan army left 30,000 people to garrison, and the rest turned to attack Zhao. 】

   Zhao Yun had already been prepared for the Yan army's attack.

   At this time, Zhao Guo, after agricultural reform, has become the world's granary, and it is also strong in soldiers and horses.

  【Yan and Zhao are at war, and the battle is tense, and it is impossible to tell the winner for a while. 】

  Zhang Beichen also feels a headache now. The tiger and leopard rider he simulated training for Zhao Guo before has now become his enemy.

   But this time, Yan State did not have a heavy infantry phalanx similar to Wei State, and it could only draw a tie against Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

  Zhang Beichen used tactics to attack across the Taihang Mountains, but Zhao Yun was already prepared and set up defenses directly at the border.

   "These queens know me too well!" Zhang Beichen couldn't help it. After fighting for half a year, he only took down a few cities in Zhao State, which was irrelevant.

  Continuing to fight, Zhao Guo is not in vain, after all, they have enough food.

  Although the country of Yan is also economically prosperous, after entering the war, countries began to control the sale of grain, and the continuous fighting put a lot of pressure on the country of Yan.

  Just when Zhang Beichen felt that it was difficult to conquer Zhao Guo, the King of Chu finally made a move.

  The king of Chu has many choices at this time. She can attack Qin with Wei, or attack Zhao with Yan. Or help Qin and Zhao.

  【The State of Chu sent 300,000 troops to attack the State of Zhao. The king of Chu personally led the army, leading an army of 30,000 overlords, invincible and unstoppable! 】

   Zhang Beichen looked at the information, good guy, the king of Chu has cultivated to the peak of the holy realm again!

   You know, at this time, Zhang Beichen's cultivation is only able to reach semi-holy! This is already the result of practice after many simulations of experience.

  In the past, it was often necessary to unify the power of the dragon veins to practice to this level after the great unification.

  The king of Chu, who has simulated many times, always focuses on practice.

  The current combat power can only be described as invincible!

  She and her Overlord Army must have more than 100,000 elites from various countries to resist. And Chu State also has Fan Lue, a half-saint military strategist, and that general Xiang Mu is also a military strategist monk at the pinnacle of the Nine Realms.

   As a result, the south of Zhao State was quickly breached by the Chu army and occupied a large area of ​​territory.

  Zhao Yun had to mobilize troops to defend the south, and Zhang Beichen recruited troops from Yan State again to intensify his offensive against Zhao State.

   Zhao State was in trouble and wanted to ask for help, but the situation in Qin State was not right at this time. Seeing that Wei State started to attack Qin State, the Xiongnu also took advantage of the emptiness of Qin State's southern defense and began to attack.

  【Zhao Guo couldn't get rescue, and began to retreat steadily! 】

  【Yan Army and Chu Army hit the capital of Zhao State almost at the same time, where the three forces meet, and the battle is imminent! 】
