The figures in the house are swaying, and the spring is full of joy. The people outside the house hesitated for a long time, and finally collected their swords and left.

Tired all night, the weak sun shone on the baby's face the next day, and the baby woke up slowly.

Although I am still a little tired, I am much better than yesterday.

Ziying got up and dressed, blinking her eyes, and everything in the room seemed unreal under the weak sun.

"Ma'am?" Ziying looked around, and Zhao Ji was no longer in the house.

Ziying didn't know why, sat on the edge of the bed, and suddenly touched the bamboo slips left by Fat Taibu, and Zhao Ji engraved a small seal on the back - "Thanks to Jun's grace, he will repay it every day." Looking at the king, Mo Wen's father. ”

"Heh, if you don't want to say it, don't say it, the widow saw too many dead people yesterday, and it is inevitable that he will be too murderous." Ziying held her forehead and smiled bitterly, "After all, I still left." ”

Ziying was originally insensitive, Zhao Ji, who could go or not, after the battle of Bashu and last night, she was a little reluctant to leave at this moment.

Zhang Ao's concubine, father, and former subordinates have all left, and Ziying does not dare to guarantee whether that Chengdu Jun will still stay in Qindi.

"It's okay to leave, Qin Di will be without a fight for a long time, if he stays, he will feel redundant." Ziying sighed.

Winter is getting south, the time of the early dynasty has long passed, Ziying believes that Lu Jia, Chen Ping, and Li Xin will handle everything properly, but he has little free time, but he is bored.

After thinking about it for a while, I felt that it was extremely inappropriate to talk to Lingyan yesterday, and I should have found Lingyan to explain.

"Your Majesty...?" Han Tan stood outside the room and shouted.

"What's the matter with Han Aiqing?" Ziying got up and walked out of the house, "The two battles have ended, and Daqin has received a lot of generals, so there hasn't been any chaos, right?" ”

"Commander Li has made arrangements." Han Tan replied, "Prime Minister Lu also ordered that the wealthy merchants in Xianyang City should hand over half of their property in order to appease the people of Daqin and repair their houses and Xianyang City. Dr. Chen admonished, so half of the number was changed to 70%. ”

"It's worthy of Chen Ping, ruthless enough." Ziying said with a smile, "But Xianyang City doesn't need to be built, so that those rich merchants can always see the ruined city, and always let them remember how much responsibility they have committed." lest when the repairs are finished, they forget their mistakes and think that the widow has treated them too harshly. ”

"No!" Han Tan's voice was a little timid.

"What else is going on with Han Aiqing? The widow urgently needs to see the spirit burning master. Ziying said.

"Mr. Lingyan and Mrs. Ying... I have left Xianyang at night, and I am nowhere to be found..."Han Tan knelt down.

Ziying's calm face became more and more pale, and after a while, she suddenly smiled bitterly, "It seems that last night's words hurt Master Lingyan, and the status of the master in Cai Wei's heart is higher." It doesn't matter, just send the disciples to find it. ”

"Back to the king, Mong..."

"What about the disciples?" Ziying frowned, his mentality had reached the bottom, and there was still bad news coming.

"Commander Lu was sealed according to his military merits, and today he was found by the disciples to write from Chu Di, which seems to be from Xiang Yu's subordinates... Lu Chen. ”

"I guessed that there would be such a day, hehe... Lu Chen was quick enough. Ziying shook his head and said, "What is Commander Lu's reaction?" ”

"Extremely happy..."Han Tan replied tremblingly, the former subordinates are now the commanders, but they are in contact with foreign enemies, Han Tan has mixed feelings, "Do you need the disciples to steal the secret letter?" ”

"No need, the widow doesn't want to intervene in this matter, it all depends on how Commander Lu decides." Ziying refused.

"The minister believes that Commander Lu will not do anything stupid." Han Tan was anxious to vouch for Lu Matong.

Ziying originally wanted to take Lu Matong into Hengshan, but had to change her mind at this moment.

"Han Aiqing will call Chengdu Jun and Ji Han, and go south with the widow to see Wu Rui today!"

"Zhihengshan has been Nanyang County, Yingbu..."Han Tan was uneasy.

"Yingbu has suffered a big setback, and he will not act rashly, and the widow has a way to let him go."

......

Nanyang County, Wancheng, the sun has set.

Yingbu sat by the iron-making furnace and quietly watched the largest iron-smelting place in Kyushu.

It was already winter, and the iron-smelter went into battle shirtless, and Yingbu seemed to be unable to stand the heat, and there were tears in his eyes.

Ben Hyuk had been standing aside with Yingbu for a long time, and he was very bored.

"Your Majesty, Wu Rui has already occupied six cities, why don't you return to the army to defend? The huge Jiujiang can't be handed over to others. Ben Hyuk spoke.

"With Wu Rui's strength, it is extremely easy to capture Jiujiang County, he just wants to see this king and ask for an explanation." Ying Bu smiled bitterly, "Jiujiang is adjacent to the Chu State, and it is difficult to guarantee that Xiang Yu will not trouble Jiujiang in the next step." The original intention of this battle was to lead to the dispute between the Chu State and Hengshan, and the land of Jiujiang was given to Wu Rui, so that he could face the Chu State head-on. ”

"The king is wise!" Although Ben Hexin was unwilling, he also thought that this was the upper law.

"It's ridiculous. It was originally to attack Linjiang hand in hand, but in the end it became Linjiang with Bashu. Yingbu gritted his teeth and said, "The hard-recruited Baiyue people will all follow Wu Rui, Chen Sheng's former minister, Deng Chong is dead, Ge Liang has defected, and there is a group of waste... This king has no return! ”

"Wang Shang is much stronger than Wei Wang Leopard." Ben Hyuk explained.

"Aiqing, is this comforting the king?"

"This," Ben Hyuk was momentarily speechless, "this... It's all from the lost child and Lu Ze! Fortunately, there are Xiongnu outside Qin, Nanyang outside Nanjun, and Changsha two counties. It's all a situation of death, and in time, it will be broken by others! ”

"Aiqing underestimates these two people too much, they can attack Bashu, and they can calculate the two people who have come to this point with just one word, and they will not hold back." Yingbu said, "Lu Ze will not die in a catastrophe, and when he returns to Nanjun, he will definitely seek help from Hengshan and attack this king again." Baby..."

Yingbu couldn't imagine Ziying's recent expansion, and calculated that Ziying would make him not benevolent, although it did not achieve its goal, it was also effective. Inside and out, the hatred for Ziying is only for Ge Liang to be released, but there is very little.

"Your Majesty! The envoys of the Qin State have arrived, and they want to pass through Nanyang and go to Hengshan, begging the king to let them go! The Jiujiang guards knelt and said.

"To Hengshan?!" Yingbu frowned.

"Hmph, the army of Bashu has returned to Qin, and Qin does not dare to be an enemy of Hengshan, so it should come for Jiujiang! Trying to use false ways to defeat the enemy. Ben Hyuk snorted angrily.

Yingbu pondered with his chin on his chin, "When outside Hangu Pass, Wu Rui's people seemed to know each other from Ziying, not attacking. Could it be that the United Hengshan Kingdom will attack Nanyang? With Ziying's current temper, will he be in the company of the traitors of the Qin State? ”

"What did the envoy say?" Ben Hyuk asked.

"The envoy said that there was a reason for the king's attack on Qin, but the king of Qin didn't care. He will still divide the world equally with the king and the king of Yan in the future. The guard replied.

"Heh... Jiujiang is now in such a situation, Zang Di is afraid that he will change his mind, why should the Qin State, which has gained a lot, fulfill the preface? It's too fake. Yingbu laughed.

"It's good that the King of Jiujiang knows it!!"

Ziying's voice came from behind the guard, Yingbu thought he had heard it wrong, and looked up to see Ziying, who had changed into a black robe, holding a red bloody sword, walking with two men with extraordinary weapons, followed by an old farmer.

"The messenger is a child?! Hurry up! Ben Hyuk stood up and stood in front of Youngbu.

Ziying's face was blank, and he gently shook off the blood on the sword, "This blood is what prevents the widow from coming." In such a situation, if the widow wants to kill the king of Jiujiang, these people can't stop it. ”

"Does King Qin want to kill this king like this? But it's hard to get out. Yingbu was cautious about guarding against Ziying, and the scene when Ziying entered the chaotic army more than ten days ago reappeared in front of him.

"The feelings between the bandits are lighter than the feathers, and the king of Jiujiang did not take them to make achievements, but retreated to Nanyang. If the widows kill you, they will surrender them... Did Jiujiang think they would fight for a dead man? Ziying said lightly.

"Less nonsense, Ben He will definitely avenge the king!"

Ben He shouted angrily and drew his sword until the child. In an instant, the Chixiao Sword had already reached Ben He's throat, and the tip of the sword slightly cut through the skin, and Ben He's breathing suddenly stopped.

"The widow only needs to think about it, and you will die sooner than Yingbu. How to get revenge? Ziying asked coldly, although he was not as tall as Ben He, he slowly moved down the tip of the sword, and Ben He, who was being persecuted, knelt at his feet.

"King Qin... Good swordsmanship. Yingbu swallowed, "But the King of Qin is here in person, must it be to kill the king, right?" There are many capable people under King Qin, and it is not impossible to send some at will. ”

"You guessed it."

Ziying put the sword back into its sheath and retreated a few steps. Ben Hyuk stood up and retreated to Yingbu's side.

"The widow went to Hengshan to discuss with Wu Rui on important matters, and this trip was only to persuade the king of Jiujiang to let him go." Ziying said.

"Hahaha... It turns out that this is just this matter, and the King of Qin can send an envoy..."

"The widow has thought so, but when I see it today, I'm afraid I can't only send an envoy." Ziying glanced at the big man with weak legs and smiled disdainfully.

"Something that doesn't understand!!"

Yingbu stretched out his leg and kicked Ben He violently, "The King of Qin and this King are allies..."

"Forget it, don't act in front of the widow." Ziying interrupted, "Great Qin will not use troops outside for a long time, and he will not embarrass the King of Jiujiang. The king of Jiujiang can let him go, and he can also avoid the death of the Jiujiang soldiers. ”

"This king obeys..."

Yingbu untied his sword and handed it to Ziying with both hands, "King Qin only needs to go south with this sword, and no one will dare to stop King Qin." ”

"That's fine." Ziying took the sword, "If this matter is successful, he will reward Jiujiang heavily." Today's matter is urgent, so I will stay here for a short time. ”

Ziying turned around and left with the three of them.

Ben Hyuk gasped for a long time, and he could come back to his senses. Ziying and his party came suddenly, and they left unexpectedly.

"Ziying is so rampant! Bring only a few people to dare to come here! Ben He got up and scolded angrily towards the south, "The minister will send a large army to stop them, tie them up and kill them in Wancheng!" ”

"Forget it." Yingbu seemed to have lost all his strength, and sat on the ground, "If you kill Ziying, the Qin soldiers will definitely destroy us, and killing him will not help." What's more, Ziying is going to Hengshan, and Lu Ze should also send someone to meet Wu Rui. If Wu Rui can reach some agreement with Ziying, ignoring Lu's words, it can be regarded as a sign of Jiujiang... Nanyang is favorable. ”

"It's hard to guarantee that Ziying won't join forces with Wu Rui to attack Nanyang." Ben He said urgently, and the murderous spirit was not gone.

"No, Ziying's trip should be for Qin's internal affairs, if you want to attack Jiujiang, you don't need Wu Rui's help. He... I can't look down on Nanyang, a place where there is no danger to defend. Yingbu sighed.

It was forcibly calming the heart, but it was stirred by the children and babies coming and going, and the sorrow that was laboriously suppressed reoccupied the heart.

"This king shouldn't have captured Linjiang... Even if you want to attack, you shouldn't kill her for the sake of the troubled water leading to Hengshan... It's gone, it's all gone..."Yingbu closed his eyes, the fire still red through his eyelids, and two tears slipped down his cheeks.

Yingbu was startled and hurriedly wiped it, unable to remember the last time he cried.

Seeing this, Ben He was dissatisfied, and complained that Yingbu connived at his children and was not a gentleman. The second resentment Yingbu is so decadent.

"The land of Qin will be hit hard, Jiujiang is only missing some territory, can the king have a plan for the future? The minister is the king's ascendant. Ben Hyuk asked.

"Let's talk about it... Let's talk about it. Let's wait and see the situation in Kyushu first and see what Zang Di does. Yingbu was not here, and waved Ben Hyuk to retreat.

"No!"

Ben Hyuk gritted his teeth and sighed and left, leaving Yingbu alone staring at the fire in a daze.

......

The four of Ziying rode their horses all the way south out of Wancheng, and Ji Han and the others still wanted to go south, but they saw Ziying turn east and go.

"Wu Rui is attacking Jiujiang, but he doesn't dare to easily occupy all the land of Jiujiang, and he should be in the six cities of Jiujiang County at this moment." Ziying explained.

"Six cities? But if this is the case, the king can pass through the land of Western Wei and turn to the land of Han. Why do you need to cross the Jiujiang River? Ji Han was puzzled.

"This is the shortest distance, and besides, the widow has something to say to Yingbu." Ziying smiled bitterly, the people in person went away one by one, but he had to plan for other countries, and he couldn't deal with it with all his might.

"But the king doesn't seem to have brought it." Ji Han scratched his head.

Zhang Ao thought slightly, "The king came to Nanyang this time, did he want to instigate Yingbu and the commander?" Yingbu captured Nanyang, and he should have rewarded the meritorious ministers with territory and money, but they could not be cashed in at this moment, and the soldiers must be dissatisfied. And the king threatened Yingbu so much in front of the Jiujiang soldiers, I am afraid that the more dissatisfied he is, the more he will leave the monarch and his ministers. ”

"Exactly!" Ziying sighed slightly for Zhang Ao's intelligence, but he was even more worried that such a person would leave one day, "King Changshan followed the widow to fight Bashu, the widow should have been rewarded, and the king of Changshan should also be returned to Zhao Di as the king, but now the widow is still too late to mourn for the king of Changshan, which is really ashamed." ”

Zhang Ao sighed for a long time, "My father wants to avenge Pei Gong, and he can be regarded as fulfilling his wish, and he also relies on the help of King Qin." King Qin did not owe, but his father should thank King Qin. The king had to stay for several days when he died, and it was not too late for the king to return from the six cities and mourn his father. ”

The person who started did not leave suspicious traces to Chen He and others, but just marched day and night, so that Zhang Er's aging body could not bear it and died of exhaustion. Due to the chaos in Qin, such a march will not arouse his suspicions...

But Zhang Er didn't need to return to Qin, so he followed in person in order to thank Ziying for his "help".

A deception came with kindness, but Zhang Er was grateful. His son Zhang Ao also felt this and did not leave Qindi.

But those who have fellowship with all sincerity are gone...

Ziying suddenly felt sarcasm, and slowly stretched out his hands, as if they were stained with blood, and his heart was also dark. can only rely on Chen Ping's words as a monarch to comfort himself a little.

"Does Chengdu Jun think it's inappropriate for the widow to kill like this recently?" Ziying asked.

"There's nothing wrong with that." Zhang Ao replied, not much.

"Chengdu Jun knows the widow!" Ziying smiled, regretting that Lingyan left, but he had not doubted the choice of several bodies.

Ji Han talked to the two very happily, and was eager to interject, stretching out his hand and pointing to the northeast.

"Han Xin withdrew his troops this time, and recruited troops after returning to Henan, but the land of Henan is limited, the surrounding four countries, Chen Yuzhi Zhao, Han Di, Xiongnu, Jiujiang, he can only ask for troops from Han and Jiujiang again, the king let Jiujiang monarchs and ministers have a gap this time, I am afraid that Han Xin will take advantage."

"The widow's move is exactly what Han Xin is plotting for!" Ziying smiled.

"What?!" Not only Ji Han, Zhang Ao and Zhaoping were stunned.

"The reason is simple, Xiang Yu needs to attack the country that is not convinced, but with the national strength of the Chu State, it is as strong as Hengshan and does not dare to compete with it. If the state of Chu destroys other countries, there will be no loss of national strength. Great Qin has no intention of fighting, and he may not be able to resist until the future. It takes a strong country to drag down Xiang Yu, and Han Xin's Henan is such a country. ”

"But the king is not afraid that Han Xin will attack Qin after he becomes prosperous?" Ji Han was uneasy.

"Han Xin is good at scheming, and if the few people are cautious with their commanders, they will not let him succeed easily." Ziying said with a smile, "What's more, Xiang Yu will not allow the halberd under the old account to be rampant, if he can't attack, he will inevitably do something stupid, at that time, the two tigers will fight, Daqin can just wait and see." ”

"This time back to Qin, the ministers will stick to the pass!!" Zhang Ao, Ji Han said loudly.

"He's got to work for you!" The child turned around and gave up his hand.

When Ben Hyuk left the iron-making place, he was dissatisfied and had no intention of returning home. Tsehorse ran wildly through the streets, and passers-by had to dodge one after another, not daring to complain.

"Get out of here, get out of here!!"

Ben Hyuk roared, deliberately destroying the stall and letting the horse's hooves trample on it. It seems that it is the head of Ziying and his party that he is stepping on.

Ben Hyuk was furious, and looked around at the people on the street, anxious to find someone who didn't like his eyes to vent.

Everyone hurriedly bowed their heads, not daring to face Ben He.

In a moment of irritability, Ben He suddenly saw an old man with a horse looking at him with a smile.

"Old thing, you deserve to be unlucky!" Ben He said in his heart, and rode his horse straight to the old man.

Slapping the horse's body, the old man was trampled under the horse's hooves.

"The old man has a strategy, and he can let the commander be a high-ranking official!" The old man laughed.

Phew—

Ben He tugged at the reins, and the horse's front hooves were raised high, and he fell backwards, taking a few steps back, almost killing the old man.

"Old thing, what were you talking about? High-ranking officials? Do you know who this Ruler is? Under the King of Jiujiang, the most relied on person! Need your poor man to show you the way? Ben Hyuk asked with a frown.

"If the Commander hadn't believed it, he wouldn't have asked such a question." The old man laughed.

"It seems that the old thing is not an ordinary person." Ben He said in his heart.

"What bullshit is to talk about it quickly, but if this commander finds out that it is a deception, it will definitely make your life worse than death!" Ben Hyuk said in a bad tone.

"The strategy is feasible, but it depends on whether the situation is true." The old man didn't panic at all, "The old man heard that the King of Jiujiang has been depressed for more than ten days, and he has no interest in state affairs, but is this so?" ”

"So what?" Ben He frowned and thought, "Didn't the old thing be sent by the king of another country to persuade this commander to turn his back on the King of Jiujiang?" Tell you, dream! ”

"Hahaha... Not so. The old man smiled heartily, "Although the old man is a lobbyist of the commander of Han Da, he is seeking for Henan and Jiujiang, and for the commander." ”

Ben He shook his head when he heard this, "It's not appropriate to talk deeply here, go out of the city with this commander!" ”

"Okay, well, according to the Commander's words..."
