As soon as he entered Hedong Sima Shi, he felt that the atmosphere was wrong, if Chang'an was serious and lively, Hedong was too depressed.

Not only were there no people on the streets, but even all kinds of shops were closed, the city's security forces were listless, and only a few Qin troops were still patrolling meticulously, although the roads were cleaner than their faces.

But Zhao Cheng next to him didn't seem to see it, and still maintained a light smile, as if there was not a ghost town in front of him, but the people who were eating pot pulp......

Sima Shi became more and more unable to understand this young man who was almost half younger than himself, and it would be terrible to think about it if Wei Guo was to be in charge of the city, but this matter in Hedong had nothing to do with him.

Sima Shi was about to stop thinking about staying out of the matter, but Zhao Cheng reluctantly said: "What does General Sima think of my Hedong in Daqin?" ”

Sima Shi's face twitched, and he thought to himself, can't you see what this ghost place is like? What else do you want me to say?

Sima Shi, who was under the eaves, could only stubbornly say: "This... The folk customs are simple. ”

Zhao Cheng was happy when he heard it, of course he knew that Sima Shi was going against his will, but he deliberately wanted to show Sima Shi so as to leave him with the impression that Daqin was "indigestion".

If Qin and Wei are still allies, this can reduce the suspicion of Wei, and if Qin Wei turns his face, this time Wei will misjudge the enemy, in short, it will be beneficial to Great Qin.

Sima Shi didn't want anything else on his side, and there was only one word to describe him at this time, and that was "returning to his heart like an arrow". As for saying a few words against his will for this, please, did he say less in the Qin Palace?

Because there are no people in each city, they can't entertain the army at night, and the speed of the team is quite fast, if it weren't for the drag of the two artillery trucks behind, it can be compared to the progress of Zhao Gao's surprise attack last year.

So it only took them two days to reach the original Pingyang City, but now it is in ruins, and Daqin has no intention of restoring this large city of hundreds of thousands of people, after all, cleaning up is much more troublesome than rebuilding.

For Zhao Cheng, although there was only a pile of ruins in front of him, the destination of his trip could only stop here for the time being because it was still under construction, and Sima Shi would enter the Wei border north with a group of soldiers sending each other.

So after Zhao Cheng arranged the camp, he saw off Sima Shi in Zhang Luo, and prepared a simple drink, but the Qin army was not allowed to drink alcohol when it was on the march.

So Sima Shi just drank a few glasses of stuffy wine and took two sips, pretended to be reluctant, and then went on the road.

Zhao Cheng looked at his distant figure, but his eyes gradually sharpened, and he sent General Sima Wei away, and Hedong was about to receive a baptism of heavy rain!

That night, Zhao Cheng issued forty-five warrants to all the Qin army officers stationed in the towns and cities, asking them to enter a state of readiness.

Then he wrote dozens of invitations, asking these officers to be responsible for sending them to the nearby landlords of the Shi clan, inviting them to come to the banquet at noon tomorrow, of course, at their own risk.

The officers of the Qin army naturally carried out the orders and forbidden, and meticulously carried out Zhao Cheng's orders, but those Korean warriors were different, they were divided into several groups of different sizes according to their geographical location.

Each group held a plenary meeting overnight to discuss whether to meet Zhao Cheng, and the argument turned out to be a heated one.

Some people support bribing Zhao Cheng with heavy gifts, some people support just going to see the situation and strengthening the defense at home, some support lying that they are sick and not going to give gifts, and some insist that Han and Qin are not at odds and should immediately raise troops to expel the Qin people.

The difference between the opinions of the various factions is so big that it is difficult to unify for a while, and the time given by Zhao Cheng is only one day, and those distant places have received letters in the afternoon of the same day, and there is no reaction time at all, even if they want to go, they can't go!

Many people think that Zhao Cheng is crazy, isn't this deliberately intensifying the contradictions? Your Qin army can fight no more than a few thousand people at best, and millions of Koreans stand there and let you kill you and exhaust you, is it really so unscrupulous?

What Zhao Cheng thinks of these scholars is unknown, and Zhao Cheng's subordinates are also unknown, everything seems to be developing in an unpredictable direction......

As a result, that night, not even half of the Han people who came, and they were not greeted by a singing and dancing banquet, only rows of high-spirited Qin troops.

Just when the Korean people were in fear and couldn't sit still, Zhao Cheng, the main owner of the "banquet", finally appeared.

I saw that he was wearing a new slatted steel armor from the model workshop, wearing a scarlet cloak, and holding a chrome sword, which was completely a posture of going into battle to kill the enemy!

Zhao Chenghu glanced at the scholars and shouted: "Zhao Cheng, the governor of the Eastern Governor's Mansion of the Great Qin River, welcome everyone to come to the banquet, but Cheng found that the guests were not uniform, and as the main family, he could not hold a banquet, I hope you understand."

Of course, we can't wait indefinitely, so Captain Bendu decided to carry forward the spirit of the host to invite them in person, you are all relatives and friends, why not do it? ”

As soon as Zhao Cheng's words came out, the Korean people were all blown up, and they wore armor and led the army to invite? Isn't that just a door-to-door arrest? Feelings, this lieutenant is to attack simply and roughly!

A group of scholars usually rely on the power of the Tubao family, but now that they have come out of the turtle shell, they naturally dare not go against Zhao Cheng, so they can only follow them anxiously, praying that their relatives and friends can escape the catastrophe.

But Zhao Chengke couldn't tell who was whose relatives and friends, he just killed them one by one according to the map.

Anyway, the Qin army had slept during the day, and they were very energetic at this time, and the whole team was even brighter, as if it were daytime, which would not affect the march at all.

As a result, they soon came to the house of a scholar, which seemed to be quite wide, not only very close to the old Pingyang, but also the city was high and deep, no wonder no messenger was sent, it seemed that they were planning to fight.

Zhao Cheng didn't plan to come to attack, after all, since he didn't come, he had a certain amount of confidence, and it was possible that the core personnel of several small families next to him had also entered it.

In the past, the well-manned fortress did not have several times the number of troops, and it was impossible to take it for a long time, even if it was digging tunnels and throwing flying stones and building ladders, it was not much faster.

Once the war is prolonged, not only will it not be able to deter the scholars, but the morale of the Qin army will also decrease, and it will also give others a longer time to prepare, increasing the pressure on the follow-up attack. Moreover, Zhao Cheng didn't want to waste his precious troops on an opponent of this level.

So Zhao Cheng was already ready to use his secret weapon, that is, the two emerging artillery pieces he brought this time, as well as dozens of iron-clad thunderbolts!

I saw Zhao Cheng raise the sword in his hand and shout: "Knock on the door!" ”
