Qin Mo sat in his own mansion in Yuecheng, pulling his hair and crying, crying like a child, because, last night, he dreamed of the young widow again, pulling the kind face of his mother, who was a big one, and the sound of a child.

As for the Shang Dynasty to change the law, the law became more and more stringent, and he was just a small mistake, but his mother was killed, his wife and children were slaughtered, and if it wasn't for his friend Dog Slaughterer who covered his escape overnight, he would have lost his life.

When he escaped, he clearly knew that because of Shang Ying's changes, the Qin State had become strong enough, and looking at the princes of the Central Plains, no country could compete with him, not even the Wei State, which was in full swing.

And he knew what he was capable of, and if he defected to those vassal states dominated by nobles, he could only be an insignificant pawn. As a lost dog, living under someone's door and becoming a despicable eater, it can't change anything at all, and it is impossible to drive a vassal state to destroy the Qin State for himself.

Therefore, Qin Mo chose Lin Hu who defected to the wilderness. Because in his opinion, King Linhu, who has a mixture of agriculture and animal husbandry and owns the rich land of Hetao, can quickly become strong and become the most powerful country in the north as long as he is assisted by himself. Then, with the help of the northern highlands, he went south and swept the entire Qin State, and his great revenge was avenged.

But reality completely defeated his illusions, because after 10 years of hard work, he finally knew a truth, so that a barbaric nation suddenly became a rule-abiding, reasonable, and powerful empire, it is really like a fool's dream.

Because if you want to become, at least a strong country that can destroy the Qin State, the most fundamental thing is not whether the land is abundant, but in the people, in the accumulation of people's quality.

As a result, he was busy here for 10 years, but nothing came of it.

Regardless of his wife and children, but his mother died innocently and tragically, this heart-rending pain bites his heart anytime and anywhere, he is only forty years old, and now Qin Mo is already as white as snow.

"Qin Guo, I won't destroy you, and I swear not to be a man." Qin Mo pulled his hair again and again, crying and screaming suppressedly.

But as time passed, the roar became more and more unreliable and muffled.

Shang Ying died, died 10 years ago, and died a very miserable death. When he heard the news, Qin Mo roared loudly at that time, because one of his great enemies died, so the second one was far away.

Qin Mo didn't think that the one who killed his mother was a merchant like ordinary people.

He clearly knew that it was indeed the law of the Shang Dynasty that killed his mother, but it was the damned King of Qin and the damned Qin State who really implemented this decree. His enemies are the Qin State, and all the people of the Qin State.

But he rejoiced at what Shang Yang had done, because if Shang Yang died, his reforms that made the Qin state powerful would be extinguished, and the Qin state would fall again.

But he was disappointed again, because this Qin state was not as he imagined, like other countries that had changed, due to the death of people and the government, they went into decline again. The King of Qin wisely chose to kill Shang Ying to settle internal political differences. However, he still implemented the rules of Shang Ying's law-changing, and still made the Qin State stronger step by step.

Qin Mo wanted to transform Lin Hu, implemented changes in Lin Hu, and then took the powerful Lin Hu to destroy the Qin State to take revenge, but now, he has to use all his energy to take Lin Hu to fight against the strong Qin who is constantly advancing north to encroach on the land of the Lin Hu Hetao. Let the Qin State not be able to struggle as desired.

As Qiang Qin advanced northward step by step, his hope of revenge became more and more slim, and it was close to despair.

My mother's revenge can't be avenged, so what reason do I have to live in this world?

Drawing the sword out again, holding him to his neck, it had become a knee-jerk action on his part. It is believed that people have souls after death, and if they die, they can go to the earth, reunite with their wives and children, and their mothers, and live a carefree life under their mother's knees.

But after each competition, he threw his sword to the ground in despair. Because although he firmly believes that the soul is immortal after death, the graves of his mother and his family are all in the Qin State, and he does not know the exact location.

"We must make Lin Hu strong, even if it is so strong that only one army can enter the Qin State, and then fight to my hometown, find my mother's mausoleum, and hang myself in front of my mother's grave, then Lin Hu's life and death have nothing to do with me." This is already a desire to settle for the next best.

His wife quietly walked to his side, handed him a silk handkerchief, and sighed softly: "Husband, did you dream of your mother again?" Unfortunately, I haven't met my mother, but I have already felt her love. "She had woken up in her dreams countless times to see her husband disappear next to her, and then heard a muffled voice in the inner room, which would cry until dawn.

Qin Mo lowered his head, sighed silently, and then gently grabbed his wife's hand, because he felt ashamed of this wife. It's been 10 years, and I have given birth to a son and a daughter for myself, but I think about my former wife and children in my heart, which is actually a sin.

The wife gently pulled out her hand: "I'll go and make you a bowl of porridge." It's already dawn, and you still need to work on state affairs. Then he got up, blew out the lights in the house, and quietly prepared to go to the kitchen to make a bowl of porridge for this husband, who was strong on the outside and poor on the inside.

Thinking that he was about to face the mountain of bamboo slips, Qin Mo could only sigh helplessly.

Hu Yong, the king of Linhu, is also considered to be the best among the kings of the past dynasties, and it is Hu Yong, the king of Linhu, who can be strong, and it is the Linhu people who can never be strong.

The reason for this assertion is precisely because of the natural terrain of Linhu.

The Yellow River Loop, which divides the vast territory of Linhu into two, is the grassland and desert, and the Linhu people who grow in it are savage and tenacious, brave and easy to kill, and are natural warriors.

However, the Linhu people in the Hetao, because of their fertile land and better pastures, have developed their docile character of being at ease with what they encounter.

It is a paradox that a country is composed of two personalities, but it is indeed so strange, it is caused by the terrain and climate.

Therefore, even if Qin Mo tried every means to twist them into a rope, so that the warmongers would become natural warriors, and he would take them to destroy Qin, while the meek would work in peace and provide a steady stream of war logistics for the warriors. This was supposed to be a perfect match, but it became a sharp contradiction, and the contradiction was that the militants were in the north, and the meeks were isolated behind the Qin state.

The waiter carried a wooden support, on which were piles of bamboo slips, put it down gently, and the waiter who took the lead said softly: "Tian Mu envoy, the king said, after reviewing these, be sure to ask the adults to sleep well, and then at sunset, please ask the doctor to see the king, don't work too much." ”

Qin Mo looked at the bamboo slip, which was obviously half less than usual: "I know the king's grace, but let's take the remaining half, otherwise it will be even more difficult tomorrow." ”

The waiter hurriedly shook his hand: "That's all, that's all." But his expression told Qin Mo that this was a lie ordered by the king.

Qin Mo sighed: "Even if you can't realize your grand wish to destroy Qin and take revenge, just for the sake of this king, you must resist the encroachment of Qiang Qin and keep the Hetao, the root place of Lin Hu." ”

At this time, Menzi hurriedly came in and reported in a low voice: "Lord Qiyu, Zhao Guo is fake, and Zhao Xing, the king of the county, will meet you." ”

Qin Mo was stunned, he had never had any contact with Zhao State, and there were many attacks in the past, and suddenly Zhao State sent a heavyweight to see him, what is the reason for this?

But after thinking about it for a while, he immediately stretched out his hand: "Change my clothes, open the middle door, and I will greet you personally." ”
