"How about it, Ben Hou will say that it is okay!" Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief instantly.

Followed by the sky crackling continuous lightning and thunder, one after another lightning densely lit up in the rainstorm, the thorns and lala all fell on a few lightning rods, really seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, the thunder in the sky as if to find a vent all fell on the lightning rod, like eight thunder dragons in the rain curtain meandering jump, such a strange scene immediately made the millions of people gathered on both sides of the Wei River to watch the lightning protection device are excited, many people directly knelt in the rainstorm and kowtowed to the Keju field.

"You've all seen it, if you're afraid, stay down there, and Ben Hou will go up and take a look!" Chen Xu raised his legs and walked towards one of the entrances of the Keju Field.

"Husband, I'll go up with you!" The water gently held Chen Xu's hand tightly.

Chen Xu hesitated slightly and then said with a smile: "Okay, don't be afraid, there is a lightning rod to draw away the thunder and lightning, there should be no danger!" ”

Seeing Chen Xu and Shui Qingrou walking into the Keju field arm in arm, a group of guards gritted their teeth and followed in a swarm, Zhang Cang, Liu Bang and others also looked at each other with pale faces and followed cautiously.

"By the way, everyone untie their swords!" Chen Xu turned around and admonished.

After everyone put down their swords, in the midst of the rainstorm and thunder and lightning, Chen Xu led a group of people to slowly climb to the top floor of the Keju Field along the audience passage, standing under a relatively safe eaves, eight lightning rods stood in the thunderstorm like spears, one after another lightning boomed on it, and the entire Keju Field seemed to tremble slightly in the sparks.

Standing on the tower of the south gate of Xianyang City, Qin Shi Huang, Feng Quji, Meng Yi and a group of important ministers of the court each held a telescope in their hands, watching the juju field in the thunder and lightning in the sky, and were stunned by the eight dragon-like lightning that winded and dazzling.

"Look, under the top of the eaves, is it the Marquis of Qinghe?"

Qin Shi Huang's side, who was also holding a telescope, suddenly pointed to the juju field and exclaimed.

"I'll see!"

Qin Shi Huang shook the binoculars, and sure enough, he soon saw a group of people who appeared on the top of the Keju field, one of them was a young man standing on the edge of the rain curtain with a slender posture, although he could not see very clearly through the heavy rain, but under the bright lightning, that figure was still very familiar to him, it was Chen Xu, the important minister of Qinghe, who relied on him, and there was a graceful woman in black next to him, who should be his wife Liezi's disciple Shui.

"Qinghe Hou is not afraid of such a violent thunder and lightning, it must be because he has an immortal law to protect his body!" Feng Quji's gray beard and eyebrows kept trembling and said.

"Such a strange situation has never been heard of in the past!" Although Meng Yi has always been not very interested in his cheap son-in-law, the situation in front of him has to make him admit that his son-in-law is a demon and not an ordinary person.

"Qinghe Hou is really a god and a man!" Shaofu Ling Zhao Wei held the binoculars and muttered to himself.

"The arrival of the heavenly thunder is unstoppable, and the Marquis of Qinghe can avoid it, it must be the magic of the Immortal Family, and with the assistance of the Marquis of Qinghe, Daqin will definitely prosper!"

Qin Shi Huang looked at Chen Xu who was bathed in the thunderstorm with excitement and excitement on his face, and in the depths of his burning eyes, the figure of Chen Xu who was pointing at the top of the Keju field in the thunder and lightning was reflected.

At this time, standing on the top of the Keju field, looking at the dense grid-like lightning in front of him, Chen Xu felt that his hair was upside down and his scalp was numb.

Today this force is a bit overdone.

What if God plays mahjong absentmindedly and swells.

And Zhang Cang, Liu Bang and others who were following him and a group of guards were trembling one by one, their distorted cheeks looked miserable and white and hideous in the lightning one after another, but their eyes revealed a burning brilliance that could not be concealed, and there was fear, fear, and surprise in their eyes, but now they were all fascinated by this strange scene that had never been seen in the past.

Immersively, they finally experienced the horror of Thunder's Fury.

This situation will become a nightmare for them for a lifetime, and at the same time it will be a glory for their lives.

The young man in front of him, like a real fairy, stood proudly in the midst of the storm and thunder and lightning, holding a beautiful woman in his arms to guide the heavens and the earth, and there was no fear or fear on his calm face, only occasionally his eyebrows would jump, and he seemed to be very disdainful of the lightning in the sky.

And just when Chen Xu was busy promoting industrial and commercial development in Xianyang, installing lightning rods and preparing for a grand opening ceremony performance in Keju Field, the Western Regions, which had entered the turn of spring and summer, also began a large-scale military expansion.

At the end of February, the cold Western Regions entered spring, and Yinggao, the second prince of Yinggao, who had arrived at the Yue Dynasty's royal court, with the assistance of his subordinates and staff, after more than half a year of preparation, the royal court was finally on the right track.

In addition to appointing their own left and right prime ministers and the three chief officials of the imperial history, all the officials of the three provinces and six ministries set up in imitation of the Great Qin court and counties and the officials who govern the tribes have also been configured, the previously unified Yue tribe was divided into two counties and eight counties, under the jurisdiction of more than 30 tribes, these tribal leaders were also named after the unified official positions of the Central Plains, and were appointed as the main and deputy officials of the county, and according to the size of the tribe, the county lieutenant and the police were also set up, etc., and in order to speed up the rule of the Yue tribe, Yinggao in accordance with the edict of the Great Qin Emperor, Began to implement the education of the Central Plains written language in the Yueshi tribes, arranged a large number of craftsmen and apprentices from the five major colleges to guide the Yueshi people to begin to learn the advanced farming, planting and breeding concepts of the Central Plains, popularized various laws and weights and measures of the Great Qin, and made four-wheeled carriages and agricultural tools, leather armor and clothes, etc., because the Yueshi was indeed too backward compared to the Central Plains, Liang Wang Yinggao successively sent several envoys and caravans to Xianyang, requiring leather goods, wool, rouge, garlic, gold, silver, jade and other specialties in exchange for ironware, bearings, porcelain, glass, pottery, linen, sugar and wine, tea, Silk, pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other materials that were in short supply in the Western Regions, and the emperor was also very happy with a wave of his sleeves, and arranged for the three provinces, six ministries, and the Academy of Sciences and other departments to do so.

Therefore, with the comings and goings of envoys and caravans, all kinds of materials from the Central Plains were also continuously transported to Yueshi, and at the same time, there were bundles of Daqin Metropolis Newspaper and many poetry and book collections published by the bookstore, these rare books and newspapers in the Western Regions soon became the favorite thing of the hundred disciples and staff subordinates who followed King Liang, and became the best means for them to understand all kinds of practical news in Daqin.

As soon as the preparations for the royal court began, Ying Gao issued an edict to recruit 20,000 soldiers from all the Yue clan's departments, entrusted Li Xin to help train them, and at the same time asked the craftsmen who went with him to start large-scale construction of stirrups and saddles and other horse equipment.

At the end of March, the Central Plains has entered the thick spring season, but the Western Regions have only entered the spring, after a spring snow, the earth is in full bloom, the flowers and plants of the frozen grassland are in full bloom, and the Liang Wang Yinggao personally led the army of 20,000 Yue's clan to cooperate with Jiang Hu and Li Xin's two armies to begin to attack westward, and the first battle was Yue's old neighbor Wusun.

Wusun and the Xiongnu Yueshi are the same, they belong to the Hu tribe, they live by the water without farming, they are typical nomads, and they belong to the nomadic people, and naturally have a strong sense of domination of the grassland with abundant water and grass, so just like the relationship between the Yueshi and the Xiongnu is not good, the relationship between Wusun and the Yueshi is also very bad, and the leader of the Wusun tribe, Kunmi, was killed by the old Yueshi King more than ten years ago.

Although the strength of Wusun is not as good as the Yue clan, it is also the tribe second only to the Yue clan in the Western Regions, and because of the hatred of killing the king, he has repeatedly invaded the border of the Yue clan, and the Yue clan has been at war for more than ten years, and the Yue clan is now the closest to Wusun called the Dunhuang Department, but the king of Dunhuang has now been abolished, and the identity of the king of Dunhuang has become the county order of Dunhuang, and the subordinates are equipped with the county lieutenant and several vassals brought by the king of Liang from the Central Plains, and there is almost no military command right, and this king of Dunhuang was also the latest to be promoted last year, The old king of Dunhuang in the past was slaughtered when the king of Tunan was defeated and fled westward, not only plundered thousands of cattle, sheep and horses and thousands of tribesmen, basically the old foundation was swept away, and now it is a bit of a state of poverty and whiteness.

After King Tunan plundered the Dunhuang Department, he also knew that once Daqin took over the Yue Clan, he would inevitably be hunted down, so King Tunan brought the stolen cattle, sheep, horses and women to Wusun to join King Wusun, and in order to stabilize his strength, King Tunan attacked Loulan to the west and occupied an area, which was considered to be a stable foothold.

With the help of King Tunan, King Wusun launched an attack on the Dunhuang tribe after the autumn last year, and as a result, the Dunhuang Department was robbed again and lost countless populations and cattle, sheep and horses, and had to retreat in the direction of the Yue's royal court, and now most of Dunhuang has fallen into the control of Wusun, but the Wusun King did not dare to continue to attack the Yueshi, and the two sides are now in a relatively calm state of confrontation.

At the beginning of April, Li Xin and Jiang Hu two armies combined together, plus the 20,000 Yue servant army of King Liang arrived in Dunhuang, 40,000 troops swept like black clouds, instantly crushed several tribes of Wusun into ashes, occupied Dunhuang and set up a large camp in Jiuquan, and then repaired ten days later and sent troops to attack Wusun again, and soon defeated the army of King Wusun, beheaded King Wusun and more than ten tribal leaders, and occupied Wusun in less than ten days, King Tunan saw the fierceness of the Qin army, He could only flee westward with thousands of tribes and the plundering Yue's Wusun clan again, and after another melee with Loulan, he fled into the desert and went west.

Liang Wang Yinggao followed Li Xin and Jiang Hu to fight together, and at the same time continued to expand his territory, after occupying Wusun, he scavenged grain and grass on the spot, financed the two armies, and at the same time divided the county governor and appointed officials, and soon included Wusun in his jurisdiction.

After the occupation of Wusun, he had actually opened up what later generations called the Hexi Corridor, and he was faced with many different tribes and small countries scattered around the desert and snow-capped mountains.

After Yinggao settled all the Wusun and other tribes, Li Xin Jianghu continued to gather the strong clansmen of the Wusun tribe after a short training while sending the news back to Mengtian's camp, plus the 10,000 Yue clan army distributed by Liangwang Yinggao, and mixed into two servant armies, one followed Li Xin along the edge of the desert to attack Yiwu (Hami) in the northwest, and the other followed Jiang Hu along the southern edge of the desert to attack Loulan.
