Chapter Ninety-Three: Fear

In early summer, the weather in the north is not so hot.

The courtyard was quiet, and the three of them sat under the leafy trees, listening to the chirping of insects and birds, and it seemed that even their troubles had dissipated a lot.

"I don't know if it's a boy or a girl, so I'll put the name on hold for now, and I'll take it later."

Zhao Jia gently stroked Qi Fu's bulging abdomen, her big eyes were bright and focused, mixed with a little expectation.

Whether in the past life or in this life, Zhao Jia has never had a child of his own.

Coming to this troubled world and seeing countless people dying on the battlefield, Zhao Jia understood more and more the fragility and preciousness of life.

Children are the continuation of their own lives.

It would be a great pity if he suddenly died unexpectedly in this era, but did not leave a blood inheritance.

Therefore, Zhao Jia also has great expectations for the child that Mi Fu is pregnant.

The time spent alone is warm and short.

As soon as Zhao Jia finished lunch with his wife, he had to devote himself to the complicated work again and continue to work every day.

Every time at this time, Zhao Jia feels a deep tiredness and disgust, and occasionally even yearns for an ordinary and simple life.

There is no silk and bamboo, and there is no labor shape.

Such a carefree and free life, Zhao Jia may never be able to get it.

"The fields near Zhaoyuqi must not be barren, and the local officials must urge the people to work hard, and the taxes should not be too harsh."

The fertile soil near Zhaoyuqi can be said to be the largest grain producing area in the land of Shenqi.

In addition, it is located in the easternmost part of the land of Shenqi, as long as the land of Shenqi is not completely taken away by the Qin state, that granary will not be threatened.

As for neighboring South Korea, where would it dare to take the initiative to invade Zhao if it was still too busy to deal with the Qin State?

"Now that money and food are in short supply, we still have to leave enough money and food to prepare for the possible attack of the Qin State, and the construction of the fortress in Pingzhou can be postponed, but heavy troops need to be deployed there."

"Order Sima Shang to command 5,000 troops to garrison Pingzhou, and not allow any Qin people to enter the territory of Pingzhou."

Zhao Jia handled all kinds of government affairs in an orderly manner, and was obviously a little handy.

At this moment, Li Si suddenly strode in, his face extremely solemn.

"Childe, the Tianxiang Mansion in the Qin State has been seized, and many of the Tianxiang Mansion guys who acted as spies have also been seized by the Qin State!"

Zhao Jia suddenly learned the news, and stood up suddenly, his pupils dilated rapidly.

"Qin Guo, are you ready to send troops so soon?"

The wine and food in Tianxianglou are indeed sought after by nobles from all over the world, but the Qin State established the country by war, and the desire of the domestic nobles for meritorious service is far greater than enjoyment.

If it is in other countries, because the dignitaries and nobles often visit Tianxianglou, it is not so easy for even the royal family to ban it.

Only the Qin State, as long as it is an order issued by the Qin royal family, can almost be implemented very well.

The purpose of Qin doing this was to destroy Zhao Jia's ears and eyes.

Li Si said with a solemn face: "Although the Qin State moved quickly and violently, Ran Tianxianglou had already taken precautions, even if many people were captured by the Qin State, there were still many people who escaped. ”

"They came with news that the King of Qin had taken Meng Fu as his commander and ordered him to command 100,000 Qin State soldiers and recapture the land of Shenqi at all costs!"

"100,000 Qin Army Warriors?"

When Zhao Jia heard this number, he frowned, and his eyes showed a look of deep doubt.

With the strong national strength of the Qin State, even if tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were lost half a year ago, they could still easily dispatch an army of 200,000.

The land of Shenqi was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Zhao Jia couldn't understand why the Qin State only sent a mere 100,000 troops to prepare to recapture this anointed land.

You must know that it is impossible for the soldiers of the Qin State to invade the land of Shenqi, whether it is the Zhao State itself, or the three kingdoms of Chu, Wei, and Han that have already occupied the territory of the Qin State.

Even if Chu, Wei, and Han did not send troops to rescue, with the current national strength of Zhao, as long as they tried their best to save them, they would not be able to defeat the 100,000 Qin army.

"That's right, it's 100,000 Qin State Ruishi!"

Li Si's face did not have the slightest lightheartedness, but was extremely dignified.

"Sir has something to say."

Zhao Jia knew that things would not be so simple, so he immediately asked bluntly.

"Although the Qin State only dispatched 100,000 troops, the land of Shenqi may not be rescued by the three kingdoms of Chu, Wei, Han, or even the Zhao State."

"In other words, in the face of the 100,000 Qin State Rui soldiers led by Meng Fu, we can only rely on ourselves."

Zhao Jia's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he shouted: "What do you mean by this? ”

The Qin State has strong combat effectiveness, and there is a famous general Meng Fu in command, if he waves his troops to attack South Korea, it can even make South Korea panic.

Not to mention, the land of Shenqi is only a few hundred miles away, and because it is located in the north, the city is relatively scarce and the population is not large.

The most important thing is that Zhao Jia has only occupied the land of Shenqi for half a year.

The people in the land of Shenqi were accustomed to the rule of the Qin State in the past, and now although they reluctantly recognized Zhao Jia's legal status, they didn't necessarily think so in their hearts.

Without the support of the people of Shenqi, it was not easy for Zhao Jia to block 100,000 Qin State soldiers with just 20,000 cavalry in his hands and more than 10,000 newly recruited soldiers.

Li Si took a deep breath and said, "According to the report from the spies, although the Qin State only dispatched 100,000 troops, it has already begun to mobilize the whole country. ”

"The king of Qin was determined to take the land of Shenqi, and he was worried that the kingdoms would unite again, so he sent envoys to threaten the kings of Zhao, Chu, Wei, and Han."

"The State of Qin claims that the land of Shenqi was originally the land of the State of Qin, and the prince sent troops to rob it for his own selfish interests, which was despised by the people of the world."

"Now the Qin State has sent troops to seize land and occupy the righteousness."

"If Zhao, Chu, Wei, and Han do not send troops to rescue them, then Qin will only send 100,000 troops, and if this 100,000 army cannot capture the land of Shenqi, Qin will never say anything about seizing land from now on, and is even willing to admit that this land belongs to Gongzi."

"If the four kingdoms of Zhao, Chu, Wei, and Han send troops to rescue each other, the Qin State will do whatever it takes, even if it launches a nationwide war, it will take the land of Shenqi."

When Zhao Jia heard this, his face had become very ugly.

Although the envoys of the Qin State had not yet arrived in various countries at this time, Zhao Jia had already been able to predict that the four kingdoms of Zhao, Chu, Wei, and Han might not dare to fight to the death with the Qin State for the sake of the land of Shenqi.

The biggest possibility is that the four countries verbally expressed their support and sat back and watched the Qin army attack the land of Shenqi.

This battle was different from Qin's attack on a certain country and the capture of hundreds of miles.

If Qin did this, it would make all countries feel deeply threatened, and even if they did not want to use Qin as a land, they would eventually join forces with Qin at any cost.

However, for all countries, the land of Shenqi was originally the land of Qin, and even if it was taken away by the Qin State again, it would not be much of a loss to themselves.

In the eyes of various countries, they can't afford to completely tear their faces with the Qin State for the sake of this land.

"After all, it's still fear!"
