Binh Duong City, Han Palace

Zhao Gao was sitting firmly in the position where Shen was harmless before, checking the files collected by his subordinates, but the more he looked at it, the more frowning he became.

"Smack!" Zhao Gao slapped the table violently, and Zhao Cheng, who was drowsy next to him, quickly sat up, and subconsciously wanted to draw his sword.

Seeing that there was no enemy, Zhao Chengcai calmed down a little and asked tentatively, "Brother, what's wrong?" ”

Zhao Gao threw away the bamboo slip in his hand, and said with a blue face: "Hmph! A dignified Seven Heroes, sitting on such fertile soil and people, how can the property be so barren? It's not as good as even a big county in Daqin. ”

Zhao Cheng was also a little puzzled, got up and picked up the bamboo slips, and after a quick browsing, he was surprised:

"Stockpiled grain 150,000 stone (Warring States Koshi)? An infantry expends three stones and three buckets in a month, and a horse doubles. In other words, the grain in their capital Kufu is enough for 40,000 horses to eat for a month? ”

"Hmph, I've probably checked the warehouses in other places, and the entire South Korean grain storage is only 400,000 stones, which is enough to raise soldiers for the winter.

Moreover, there are hundreds of thousands of civilians in South Korea, and their rations are far from enough, even if we don't come to the spring, they will starve to death! Zhao Gao said disdainfully.

Zhao Cheng asked puzzledly: "Brother, aren't Han Zhaohou and Shen harmless Mingjun Mingxiang?" The reform you mentioned has been going on for several years, how can you be so poor? ”

Zhao Gao still had that contemptuous expression, shook his head and said: "Of course, it is impossible to be poor like this, the key is that Shen Buxian is a martial artist, pays attention to raising authority, and is essentially divided, but the nobles give Han Hou a lot of shares."

So I sent people to copy a few nobles with a bad reputation, and I got 80,000 stone of grain and grass, which actually accounted for one-fifth of the country! It seems that this Shen Gong's reform is very incomplete. ”

"I'll just say, it seems that my Great Qin's system is better, farming and warfare are one!" Zhao Cheng was also happy when he heard that the receipt was not small, and by the way, he proudly praised his own hand.

"Well, and when our men raided the nobles, their private soldiers resisted very fiercely, and the casualties caused were almost in time for the siege."

Zhao Gao looked displeased, this is still Shen Buxian suppressed the Korean nobles, or the loss may be higher, this matter will obviously become a stain on his achievements in leveling Han.

"Then what are you going to do with these guys, Han Hou and the nobles......"

"Han Hou naturally wants to send it back, as for the other ...... It's still necessary to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, find a few to dispose of, and the rest just give something. Zhao Gao thought for a moment and ordered.

Zhao Gaoke is a qualified politician, so he naturally knows what Daqin needs now and what His Majesty needs. Then he got up and said to Zhao Cheng: "Let's leave after dealing with it!" ”

Zhao Cheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Go?" What about the land of South Korea? ”

Zhao Gao sighed and said helplessly: "What if you don't leave?" We only have a thousand people, and we are not even satisfied with the city walls of Pingyang, what should we do when the Wei army comes?

Besides, whoever stays here will find food for these hundreds of thousands of Koreans, and if you don't kill the nobles to the bottom, can you take it out?

Besides, our domestic military strength is not rich, and it is impossible to take over all the Korean lands, and His Majesty has made it clear that people want food and money. As long as you can bring these three things back, it is enough. ”

"Then will Wei Jun really come? Wouldn't that cheapen them? ”

Zhao Cheng also heard from the captured Koreans yesterday that the Wei army in the north kept harassing South Korea. But he didn't believe it all the time, and now that Zhao Gaolian said the same, he had to believe it.

"I don't know, but when I practiced it, His Majesty told me a lot, and one of them was: Don't be surprised if you encounter anything. He had foreseen it. As for cheap?

Hum! Now it has been proved that it is not only us who are attacked by the demon wind, so if there is really a Wei State, it will naturally suffer a great loss. Even if they come to South Korea and guard a bunch of empty cities, what can they do? ”

Zhao Gao's analysis was indeed penetrating, Zhao Cheng nodded in admiration after hearing this, and then asked: "Then brother, how many people and things will we bring back this time?" ”

"Hmm...... His Majesty once said that as long as it is useful, the more the merrier. Now you go and organize people to count the goods of the treasury, and take everything that is easy to take.

As for the food, let the Koreans in the city come and carry it by themselves, eat it on the way, and when it comes to sending them thirty percent, everything that can't be taken away will be burned!

In addition, some Koreans can be recruited, the countries of the Central Plains have always been very good at infighting, let them do supervision, you can distribute more food, and ensure that you get twice the result with half the effort. ”

Zhao Cheng couldn't help but praise after hearing this: "Brother is really smart!" ”

After speaking, he just saluted and left, Zhao Gao suddenly raised his hand, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and sneered:

"Brother Wei thought of another point, counting the population and food can be done by others. You go and ask those timid nobles to prepare a letter of surrender and a token, and we will take it with us.

Remember to tell them that my Great Qin can come once and twice, and they will be heroes after they take refuge now. ”

Zhao Cheng couldn't help but give a thumbs up when he heard this, his brother's move was indeed wonderful.

In this way, those cowards will take the initiative to be Daqin's eyeliner, no matter whether this place will be returned to Han or Wei in the future, Daqin will not drink water if he wants to fight back?

"Hey!" Zhao Cheng hurriedly agreed, and turned around and left happily.

However, Zhao Gao had a lot more to worry about than him, because he knew that even if he used so many means, it was still not safe, because the nobles were all the grass on the wall of reality.

"There have to be a few people left, an intelligence network has to be created, and we must not put all our eggs in one basket."

Zhao Gao can think of this, it is not because of the influence of Qin Zheng, in fact, Daqin's intelligence organization has been operating underground, and Zhao Gao, as Yingzheng's "confidential secretary", knows a lot.

Thinking of this, Zhao Gao did not hesitate at all, and immediately started to write a letter to Qin Zheng, and then began to write the "espionage code" of the Qin Dynasty, preparing to use it as a teaching material for future spies in Korea.

Throughout the night, Zhao Gao worked hard, but there was no trace of tiredness. At dawn, Zhao Cheng, who had already obtained a lot of tokens and supplies, walked in.

Zhao Cheng looked at Zhao Gao's big dark circles and cared: "Brother, please pay attention to your body." ”

Zhao Gao put down the pen and shook his head: "It's okay, how are you preparing?" ”

"I'm almost ready, and I'll be able to leave tomorrow afternoon. However......" Zhao Cheng's face changed and continued: "The scouts on both sides of the north and south have discovered traces of the Wei army's activities!" ”

Zhao Gao frowned after hearing this, it seems that the Wei army still has the strength to fight, but he can't figure out what happened to South Korea, so he has not dared to attack.

"We have to speed up, we can bring less things, mainly young and strong. We can't keep our news from us for long, we must leave as soon as possible, and we'll leave tomorrow morning! ”

Zhao Cheng also nodded solemnly, he also understood that as long as he could go back now, it would be a great achievement, and the spoils of war would be an addition.

Zhao Gaoyi gritted his teeth and said with a dark face: "Also, let people collect some materials for ignition and put them in the city......"

Zhao Cheng was also surprised, and interrupted Zhao Gao for the first time: "Could it be that my brother is going to lose Pingyang City?" But we can't scrutinize the whole city, and there must be a lot of residents in it..."

Zhao Gao's eyes lit up, and he said fiercely: "Even if you want to clear the wilderness, the grain will be burned, and the city will not be left." Besides, I've already informed them, and it's their business not to want to go.

Next time, I'm not sure I'll open the city gate, and I'll be able to see Han Hou without hindrance. You have to remember, now that they are in Guanzhong, they are the people of Great Qin! ”

Zhao Cheng was a little silent, but still nodded: "Hi! Little brother, let's do it. ”

Zhao Gao looked at the back of his brother leaving, and said to himself: "Killing, arson, looting, the law of the jungle is the unchanging truth!" ”

Zhao Gao's words were obviously not wrong, if it was Yingzheng before, he would probably praise him, but he didn't know that Qin Zheng was not the decisive (ruthless) First Emperor.

Early the next morning, 600 elite warriors of the Qin army, together with more than 2,000 Korean overseers, began to escort tens of thousands of Koreans out of the city in batches.

Forced by the majesty of the Qin army, the Korean people carried bags of corn on their backs and walked dejectedly, and the atmosphere was very depressing. Suddenly, a Korean man shouted, "Fire! Fire! Fire! Binh Duong City is on fire! ”

"Huh? It's true! My house is gone! ”

"Ahh My wife and children are still in the city! ”

For a while, the whole team cried loudly, and many Koreans began to refuse to advance, and even a small number of Koreans broke free from the overseers who had already been stunned and ran towards the sea of fire......

A hundred generals of the Qin army frowned and Zhao Chengyi arched his hand: "Five hundred lords, look ......"

Zhao Cheng didn't say a word, looked at Zhao Gao in front of the team, and then ordered loudly: "Don't worry about them, tighten the formation, hurry up!" ”

Finally, the team was able to move forward again, but Zhao Cheng, who was full of hard days in the Hidden Palace, didn't notice that Zhao Gao's eyes were full of killing intent!
