Getting Simulated By The Empress Is Not My Intention

Chapter 42: Misuse of 【Zhang Beichen】

  Chapter 42 【Incorrect usage of Zhang Beichen】

   "Han Mengshu, a stupid woman, actually put Zhang Beichen out of work?" Wei Yao checked the information, and immediately regained her spirits.

  She spent a lot of resources at the beginning, but Zhang Beichen was not drawn. It wasn't until Han Mengshu appointed Zhang Beichen as the right minister that she realized that her people had been robbed!

   Wei Yao has been depressed for a long time because of this. Now that she has the opportunity, she immediately sends a secret envoy to South Korea to win over Zhang Beichen.

  …

   "You actually played the trick of monarchy on Zhang Beichen?" Ying Yiren saw the information, and smiled on her pretty face, "She still doesn't know Zhang Beichen too much, this will only backfire!"

   "It's just right, this widow has a good start. If Zhang Beichen can be kidnapped, the widow will have a greater chance of winning!"

  Ying Yiren also sent secret envoys to South Korea to win over Zhang Beichen.

  …

  In Hanwang Palace, Han Mengshu was supposed to reinstate Zhang Beichen as an official, but because his power tactics didn't work in front of Zhang Beichen, Zhang Beichen's loyalty also declined, which made Han Mengshu unhappy.

   "Thunder, rain, and dew are all God's grace! You are a subject of the widow, and the widow punishes you and rewards you, all of which are gifts. Are you still not convinced?"

  Han Mengshu decided to hang out with Zhang Beichen for a few more months to let him know his mistake.

  But she found that Zhang Beichen's loyalty not only did not rise because of this, but continued to decline, and it had dropped to 65 points.

   "What's going on?" Han Mengshu looked at the information, good guy, it turned out that Wei Yao and Ying Yiren came to steal the house. The secret envoys of Qin and Wei went to Zhang Beichen's mansion to win him over every day, so his loyalty was declining every day.

   "No, Zhang Beichen is a subject of the widow, how can I let you take it away?" Han Mengshu felt a very uncomfortable feeling in his heart, how could his subject be coveted by others?

  So, she went to Zhang Beichen's residence in person.

  …

  【Han Wang personally came to your residence to greet you. ] Zhang Beichen also saw the news. In front of him was a beauty in a long skirt.

  Blue and white off-the-shoulder skirt, showing a **** collarbone and swan-like neck, with a slender figure, innocent expression, and a little bit of grievance.

"Aiqing, the widow is really too busy today and neglected you. Aiqing won't blame the widow?" Han Mengshu said in a tone of self-reproach, "it's all the widow's fault, and the widow should reinstate you as soon as possible! Now The widow will issue an order! Not only will you be reinstated as an official, but you will also be named Shangqing!"

  Her expression was sincere and filled with self-blame. Looking at it, she seemed to be the one who was wrong.

  Pretty is beautiful, but Zhang Beichen is immune to this set.

  He replied: "The minister dare not. The minister obeys the arrangement of the emperor."

   "Hey!" Han Mengshu sighed quietly, and said: "You still complain in your heart, and I can understand. I will definitely reward and punish you in the future. If you can make Korea strong, I am willing to share Korea with Aiqing!"

   "This woman wants to PUA me!" Zhang Beichen secretly laughed in his heart. If Shen Buwang or Bao Ying heard her say that, he would be so touched that he would shout, "A scholar will die for his confidant!"

  In any case, Zhang Beichen decided to continue the simulation first. Whether to assist King Han or defect to other countries depends on whether Han Mengshu can fulfill her promise later.

  …

  【After you were out of work for two months, Han Mengshu resumed your position and worshiped you as Shangqing. 】

  【You no longer compete with Shen Buwang for power, and start to focus on agricultural production. You invented agricultural tools such as the 'curved plow' and the 'rotary water wheel', which greatly improved the efficiency of agricultural production. 】

  It took another year for Zhang Beichen to improve his Mohist cultivation in a straight line, and his personal attributes went from a rare sporadic to a rare three stars.

   At this time, more than two years have passed in the simulated time and space, and the situation in the world has undergone many changes.

  The reform of the Qin State was successful, the national strength was greatly enhanced, the new army began to be trained, and part of the territory was recovered.

  The State of Wei reformed the administration of officials, conquered several countries such as Yiqu and Wei, and greatly increased its power.

   Zhao State was attacked by Wei State, and its power was reduced.

  Yan Guo sent assassins to assassinate the leader of the Donghu tribe, and took advantage of the Donghu civil strife to occupy a large area of ​​land.

  Qi State destroyed the nearby Wei, Lu, and Fei states, and its territory expanded greatly.

  The state of Chu is even more exaggerated, directly annexing the state of Yue, whose land area is comparable to that of Wei and Qi! It became the largest country in the Seven Kingdoms.

  There are hundreds of countries in the world, big and small. Although the seven countries are the most powerful, some other countries still retain a large amount of land and population.

  For example, the State of Yue was once a hegemon in the Spring and Autumn Period, but after its national power declined, it still retained a large amount of land area.

  In several simulations, it was either annexed by Chu, defeated by Qi, or divided between Chu and Qi.

   It’s simply a gift package for beginners of King Chu and King Qi!

   "No, all countries have already begun to annex. If South Korea doesn't think about it, it will be destroyed!" Zhang Beichen realized the seriousness of the matter. South Korea's land area and population are too small, and it is necessary to start a war!

  【After careful consideration, you wrote a letter to King Han, suggesting that King Han attack the nearby Zhongshan Kingdom. 】

  …

   "Hit Zhongshan?" Han Mengshu compared the national strength, and she should be able to defeat Zhongshan, but there are so many countries around, she is worried that if she does it herself, she will be attacked from behind.

   "If you don't fight, you will die slowly, so let's fight!"

  【You issued a royal order, ordering Baoying as the general and Zhang Beichen as the deputy general, leading 200,000 Korean troops to attack Zhongshan. 】

  【The Korean army's weapons are sharp and powerful, and they have successively conquered several cities in Zhongshan. 】

  【Zhongshan State asked Yan State, Zhao State, and Qi State for help, but Yan State refused to help. King Zhao and King Qi received benefits from Zhongshan and asked you to withdraw your troops. 】

  A choice appeared in front of Han Mengshu.

  【Option 1: Agree to their request, let the Zhongshan Kingdom cede territory and pay compensation, and then retreat. 】

  【Option 2: Reject them and take Zhongshan Kingdom by force. 】

  【Option 3: Cooperate with one of them to carve up Zhongshan Kingdom. 】

  "I can't retreat, if I retreat to Korea, I will die slowly!"

   "But I can't refuse. The two countries will join forces and South Korea will be wiped out directly." Han Mengshu chose the third option.

  【You write letters to King Zhao and King Qi respectively, expressing your willingness to carve up Zhongshan Kingdom with her. King Zhao rejected your request, and King Qi agreed to your request. 】

  【You joined forces with King Qi to take down Zhongshan Kingdom. Relying on his own strength, King Qi wanted to take away a large piece of land and a lot of spoils, but you only got a small amount of land and spoils. 】

   "Damn it, this king of Qi!" Han Mengshu gritted his silver teeth. It was clear that the Han army was the main force, but King Qi took away the bulk.

   At this time, she still needs to deal with the issue of rewarding the soldiers who went to war.

  First of all, the general, Storm Eagle, did well in this expedition, and his strength has also been improved, reaching the peak of the eight realms.

  Han Mengshu rewarded him with a piece of land and a title.

  The second is Zhang Beichen, the deputy general. Zhang Beichen's force and art of war attributes have grown extremely fast, and he has made many contributions in the war.

  However, in terms of rewards, Han Mengshu was in a dilemma.

   Zhang Beichen's status among civil servants is already second only to Shen Buwang. If he is allowed to hold the military power at this time, he will become a minister of power in South Korea! Neither Shen Buwang nor Storm Eagle will be able to contend with it, and even their own status will be affected.

   "The forces in the DPRK and China must be balanced." Han Mengshu thought for a long time, and felt that Zhang Beichen's power should not be allowed to sway the government and the opposition.

  …

  【You and Storm Eagle returned to court and were rewarded by King Han. The king of Han rewarded you with gold, silver and jewels, sealed your title, and asked you to train new troops. ] Zhang Beichen had just returned from the war when he saw such news.

   "Training the new army?" Zhang Beichen saw that his position had been promoted in name, but his authority had declined instead.

  His original military power was transferred. The so-called recruits, without a few years, will not have combat effectiveness at all.

   "This woman is playing the trick of balancing power again!" Zhang Beichen saw it, and felt even more upset. Last time, Han Mengshu was still promising him that he would not be a demon again. In the end, how long did it take, and it started again!

  His loyalty drops again, down to 55 points, only five points away from betrayal.

   Thank you Alpaca for never being a slave.
