"Poor thing!"

Mingtai stood at the gate of the city, looking at the royal envoy and his guards who were gradually moving away, and the corners of his eyes and mouth were full of mockery. The Manchu Dynasty civil and military, now who doesn't know that Hangu Pass and Longtan Dragon's Den are not much different, the king makes this errand, one by one like a plague to avoid it, just yesterday day, as many as one-third of the ministers who complained of illness, at this time, dare to take this task to Hangu Pass, that is really the hardcore supporter of King Qin, loyal and unmatched. I also asked King Qin to go to Hangu Pass, but King Qin felt that the current Xianyang couldn't do without him, so I couldn't blame me.

He sneered in his heart, Mingtai knew that King Yingying of Qin really trusted him very much, because he grew up almost with him, the difference is that since he was sensible, he has been planning all the time, to overthrow the Ying dynasty from the root one day, you kill my whole family, I will destroy your entire clan. This has become Mingtai's obsession.

I'm sorry for you, Yingying, who called you his son, who let you inherit his throne? I don't have the ability to take revenge on him personally, I can only pour out my anger on you and the Ying family, this is retribution, this is the retribution for the tyrannical rule of your Ying clan.

Mingtai pressed the hilt of the knife on his waist, raised his head, and looked at the black ice platform standing tall in the distance, or at this time, the lonely king was in the palace looking in this direction. To this day, in the Black Ice Terrace, the last group of people loyal to Ying Ying were also sent to escort Su Qin by themselves, and Ying Hua was headed by the deputy commander, and more than 100 elites of the Black Ice Platform will arrive at Hangu Pass with Su Qin, and then where they will be killed.

This is the clarion call for the Hanguguan army to return to Xianyang, and he will also become the last straw that crushes the Qin State of the Ying clan.

The distant person finally disappeared completely in his eyes, and Mingtai turned around. Striding towards the city, the war is now on. The boots made a crackling sound when they stepped on the bluestone slab that had just rained, and the stagnant water splashed up, shining brightly above the sunlight. When he fell back to the ground again, he lost his edge again, and mixed with the mud, Mingtai raised his eyes and swept the streets on both sides, most of the shops were not open, there were few pedestrians on the street, and the cowering beggars were slipping away, many of them were disabled, Mingtai knew. These people should have been soldiers before, and they had fought on the battlefield for Daqin, but now, they have nothing, and even their last dignity has been lost. is like his own family, he worked hard for the Qin State, but in the end he still ended up with the Nine Clans.

Daqin, it's time to change your way of living. Mingtai thought to himself. When I looked up, I saw a shop that was still open, and it looked like a shopkeeper. Leaning against the door and staring at him, Mingtai suddenly smiled and said loudly to the boss: "Today's weather is really good!" ”

It was Boss Su who was greeted by Mingtai, and it can be seen from Mingtai's dress that this is a high-ranking official. Boss Su didn't expect such a person to greet him, and at the moment when he was stunned, that person had already walked over from his shop with a few entourage.

"yes, the weather is nice." He snorted. Looking up at the sky, the blue sky, a rainbow after the rain is across the sky, the weather is indeed very good.

Hanguguan, Lu Chao is talking secretly with Xu Yahua.

Since Cao Tianci came to visit and brought Gao Yuan's secret letter, Lu Chao locked himself in the house for a whole day, and when he came out again, he had already made up his mind, and a series of orders were issued immediately, Xu Yahua led his troops from Lu Bin to Hangu Pass, and Lu Chao handed over the Lu Bin defense line that he had operated for several years to Gao Yuan. The door of Hangu Pass is wide open, and if the Han army is willing, they can Chen Bing Pass at any time and coerce Lu Chao.

But what everyone couldn't understand was that after the Han army occupied Lubin, it did not take another step forward, nor did it send a single soldier forward, but the troops of the First Military Region were transferred one after another, and in the end, in Lubing, only three armies were left with less than 40,000 horses. And the Han King Wangjia, who had been staying in Jinyang, finally began to move, and after entering the upper valley, he stayed in Daijun again, and the soldiers and horses withdrawn from Jinyang also began to assemble in Daijun.

In the study, Xu Yahua finished reading the secret letter written by Gao Yuan himself, and the shock in his eyes was no less than when Lu Chao saw the letter at that time.

"Gao Yuan, known as the undefeated victory, his strategy is really incredible, and people have to admire." Xu Yahua shook his head and sighed: "General, this is an opportunity and a poison for us. ”

"You're right, it's an opportunity, it's also a poison, but it's not a poison that pierces the stomach, it's a chronic poison, and for a while, it won't kill us." Lu Chao seemed to pop out these words word by word from between his teeth, "General Xu, the first thing we have to do now is to live, even if we are poisoned by chronic poison, but we are still alive after all, aren't we?" ”

Xu Yahua was very sad, Daqin, who was once extremely strong, now wants to live like this, but he also understands that Lu Chao is right, as long as he lives, there is still a chance, and chronic poison does not necessarily mean that he will not be able to find an antidote.

"From the intelligence provided by the Han people and what the Eagle Department has inquired about, we now confirm that Tan Feng is ready to make a move, in Yingchuan, his army has begun to move, and as long as we launch an offensive, Bai Qi will not be able to turn back for a while, and the only one who can be mobilized is the Zhou Yu Department on the Qin-Chu border, once the Zhou Yu Department moves towards Xianyang, and the Chu people do not take the opportunity to move, then it is not the Chu people, not the yield. If this is the case, even if we take Xianyang, we will face a mess, there is no more in the south, Tan Feng has become another me, cutting the drama side, bargaining, if this is the case, then why should I move? It's better to maintain the status quo! Lu Chao said coldly.

"Gao Yuan also took a fancy to this and threw this opportunity, he knew that we had no choice." Xu Yahua said: "I can only come at his pace, but General, if this plan is really perfectly realized, what will we do in the future?" ”

Lu Chao stood up, "The most beneficial thing for us in this plan is not anything else, but time, we will win at least three or five years to get a respite, General Xu, what do you think of the policies I have implemented in Hanguguan in the past few years?" ”

"For us now, it is the best, everything is for the army, everyone is a vassal of the army, everything is for the operation of the army, but it gives everyone a way to live, at least they will not be hungry and cold, although the life is harder, but after all, they can still live. It is precisely because of this that people from other parts of the Qin Kingdom have fled to us! In the past year, Bai Qi has slaughtered all directions, killing the people of the Qin State and withering, but the territory under our control has increased by 30%, and most of them are strong people. Xu Yahua said admiringly: "The great general and the great talent have found a third path that is different from Li Shi and Gao Yuan." And Xu believes that this path is the most suitable for us now. ”

"Yes, it is the most suitable for us now, and when I take power, I will spread all this to the whole country, and at that time, a powerful Qin State will appear again, and we will also have the capital to compete with Gao Yuan again, and this will take time, so I must drink this cup of chronic poison under Gao Yuan."

"To be alive is to have a chance." Xu Yahua repeated Lu Chao's words.

Everything Lu Chao is doing now, the policies implemented in the area under his control, even if it is Gao Yuan, he has to give a thumbs up and say a great thing, because everything Lu Chao has done reminds him of the world he once lived, there was a strange country, planned economy, military politics, Gao Yuan did not expect that in this time and space, in this era, Lu Chao actually copied it perfectly.

In the area controlled by Lu Chao, a unified supply system is implemented, and all the people can get living rations on a daily basis, and they will also have a meager salary, but everything they produce belongs to the army. There are only a few things that can be bought in the market, and if you want to survive, you have to work hard, create value, and get your share of rations.

Is it hard? Bitter, of course. But compared to those who are not living in other areas of the Qin State now, and they don't know if they can survive until the evening when they get up in the morning, this is heaven, at least, when the sun is three poles, you can have a bowl of gruel, two vegetable cakes, and a bowl of pickles, and after eating these, you can still look forward to the dry meal in the evening. During the New Year's holidays, there are also some meat and tooth sacrifices, and at this time, it is good to be able to live.

So Lu Chao still has a very good reputation, at least, in the area he rules, the people under his rule always feel that they are doing well.

Based on all this, the current strength of Lu Chao is several points stronger than when he first arrived at Hangu Pass, not only did he win the support of the people, but more importantly, he completely recovered this army, and now this army, although it is still the military flag of the Qin State, but it is better to say that it is his Lu Chao's private army.

The status of the military is supreme here, and everything has to make way for the army.

"Xianyang has sent a letter, the royal envoy who summoned me back to Beijing will arrive soon, and this royal envoy also has another secret decree on his body, which is the king's order that if I don't obey the edict, I will be killed on the spot." Lu Chao laughed.

"The king is confused, and Fan Sui is also crazy." Xu Yahua chuckled.

"When they arrive, it will be the moment when I launch, and when the time comes, Hangu Pass will be handed over to General Xu, although the Han army promises never to attack, but it can't be too careless."

"Don't worry, general, with me, Hangu Pass will be foolproof."

"I can only leave you with 20,000 soldiers and horses."

"Enough, Hangu Pass itself is Xiongguan, and over the years, we have been preparing for the Han army to attack, and everything is enough to deal with them. The general just needs to go all the way, I am in Hangu Pass, waiting for the good news of the general. ”

"He is successful day by day, and his wealth is shared with General Xu."

"I am willing to be a pawn of the general." (To be continued.) )
