With a thousand carefully selected soldiers and horses, Yingkang and others began another eastward expedition of the Qin people.

Walk out of the dog hill and go all the way to the southeast to Longshan.

On the Longshan Mountain in summer, change the desolation of winter, the appearance of withered grass everywhere, look around at the mountains continuously, all over the field is crisp, full of green, from time to time there are birds flying from a distance, making one or two crisp calls.

It's beautiful!

Ying Kang looked at the crisp color in his eyes, and couldn't help but sigh, "Such a beautiful scenery, it's really reluctant to leave!" ”

Perhaps after staying in the narrow place of Inuqiu for a long time, everyone who walked out of the mountain felt a kind of relaxation and release, and couldn't help but be happy, and from time to time someone let out one or two loud shouts.

Looking at the happy appearance of these people, Zhao Boyu couldn't help but shout one or two times.

"Hahaha, hahaha, Lord Sima, you don't know how happy we all feel when we walk out of the dog hill." After shouting, Zhao Boyu said to Yingkang.

"Happy? Why don't I believe it? Aren't you afraid that when you go back, the child won't recognize you as a father? Ying Kang teased by the way.

"Don't be afraid, you don't look at whose child it is. If my Zhao Boyu's child can disown me as a father, I think he will be proud of his father, his father has fought the world for the Qin people this time. Zhao Boyu said proudly.

"Fight the world for the Qin people, that's a good point!" After hearing this, Ying Zhao also said: "This time we are fighting the world for the Qin people, once we succeed, the Qin people will definitely have great development, and it will definitely change the history of the Qin people's life in the west." ”

"Yes---, we are fighting for the Qin people this time, and we will definitely succeed." Ying Kang also said.

Since the words came to this, Ying Zhao followed the topic and said to Ying Kang: "Fifth brother, I remember you said that we were stationed in Longchuan to help the scattered country deal with Rong Di. But along the way, we didn't see any trace of Rong Di, and when the time came, the army of the scattered countries did not allow us to enter Longchuan, what should we do? Are we still going to fight the scattered countries? ”

Ying Kang shook his head confidently after hearing this, "Don't worry, this time we won't have a conflict with Sanguo." At least not yet. ”

"Then without Rong Di, how can we enter other people's Longchuan?" Although Yingkang repeatedly said that he would not clash with the Sanguo, without the trace of Rong Di, the Qin people lost the reason to send troops to Longchuan. This can't help but make people wonder.

"You just have to move forward, and Rong Di will definitely appear under the city of Sanguo." Yingkang said unhurriedly, "We just have to wait for the news." ”

"Oh---" Zhao Boyu agreed.

Since Yingkang was reluctant to speak, the Qin army drove towards the south without hurrying or slowing.

Scattered King's Palace.

The ancient city of the Sanwang was built on the mountainside at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, and this capital was both a city and a pass. It is an indispensable barrier between the Qinling Mountains and Longxi. With the protection of this closed city, the king of Sanguo and his ministers sang and danced all day long, drunk and sang, and lived an indescribable life.

At this time, the monarch was sitting on the terrace of the palace watching singing and dancing with the minister Liu Tong.

In the beautiful music and the graceful singing and dancing of the dancing girls, the scattered dishes squinted and reveled in it.

A song, Sanpanzi said softly: "Wonderful, this song and dance is really wonderful." Then he looked at Liu Tong with a scattered plate, "Aiqing, how about not coming back to a song?" ”

"As long as you like it, how about another song?" Liu Tong hurriedly said.

"Okay---, then another song." Then the loose plate said to the waiter: "Go and prepare delicious wine and food, and the widow will drink with Aiqing while enjoying the song and dance." ”

"No---" The chamberlain hurriedly agreed, and then went down to prepare.

At this moment, Xiangguo Zhou Huan hurriedly walked in, almost colliding with the chamberlain, "Lord Xiangguo is here." ”

"Hmm---" Zhou Huan hummed and continued to walk towards the palace.

Seeing Zhou Huan coming in, Sanpan quickly stopped singing and dancing.

"Minister Zhou Huan pays a visit to the king." Then Zhou Huan said: "Your Excellency, when the minister just came in, he seemed to hear the sound of singing and dancing, did the gentleman start singing and dancing again?" ”

"No, no. Seeing that the land is in ruins, and the widow is grieving over this matter, how can he always listen to those beautiful voices? I don't know what is the important thing for Lao Xiangguo to come today? The Scattered Monarch asked. As he spoke, Liu Tong took the opportunity to hide behind the monarch.

"Your Majesty, a few years ago, there were still hundreds of miles away from my scattered country, and now with the invasion of Rong Di, the encroachment of the surrounding countries is less than a hundred miles. The minister saw that the land was in ruins, and it was difficult to sleep and eat, so he came today to suggest to the king and send troops to recover the land of Longchuan again. Old Xiangguo Zhou Huan said.

Ay---

How is it the land of recovering Longchuan again?

After listening to the loose plate, he sighed long in his heart.

Complaining in his heart is complaining, but he still can't say it, after all, the matter of recovering the land is generally a good thing, and as a monarch, he still can't say anything clearly.

"The old prime minister has the intention of recovering Longchuan, which is very good! The widow supports you, but you also know that my scattered country is not as good as it used to be. It is simply unable to confront Rong Di in the north, nor does it have the strength to compete with the princes of the east. In this case, I don't know what good strategy the old Xiangguo has to recover the country? Loose plate asked.

"This?" Faced with the rhetorical question of the scattered plate, Zhou Huan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, although today's scattered country is not as good as in the past, as long as our monarchs and ministers work together, work hard, rectify the dynasty, and expel the ministers, we will definitely be able to prosper again, and we will definitely recover the lost territory." Return to the ranks of the powerful countries in Guanzhong. ”

"Hey---, old Xiangguo, you have said a lot of these things, and the widow wants to ask you, how should we work hard, how should we rectify the dynasty and expel the ministers?" When he said this, he was already a little unhappy.

"Your Majesty, since you have already spoken here, the minister might as well make it clear that the so-called purge of the dynasty is first of all to expel the ministers. The so-called Shechen refers to people like Liu Tong. He knew how to flatter the king and curry favor with him all day long, so that he lost his enterprising spirit; Let the king forget his responsibilities as a king and his ambition to recover the land. ”

When he said this, Zhou Huan stared at Liu Tong deadly, and Liu Tong was so frightened that he hid behind the loose plate.

"On the premise of expelling the ministers, we should also gather the generals of the blood type in the court, train the army, and be sympathetic to the people's feelings. The minister thinks that as long as you and I are united, it won't take long to be able to defeat the Kingdom of Yu, Ya, Gongyu, Kun, Cheng and so on in the east. It will also be able to attack Rongdi in the north and recover our land of Longchuan. At that time, our scattered country will definitely become a strong country in Guanzhong. ”

Obviously, in Zhou Huan's eyes, the Eastern States refer to those countries in the east of Guanzhong, not the later Eastern countries east of Hangu Pass.

After listening to Zhou Huan's words, Sanpanzi was a little moved, "Xiangguo, it's not that you haven't thought about these widows you said, but Sanguo has failed again and again, and the original enterprising heart of the widows can't help but be cold!" ”

In fact, when Sanpanzi first succeeded to the throne, he was quite confident, but after repeated failures, his heart had to be cold.

"The reason why I failed again and again was because the king never had a ruthless heart to get rid of Liu and others. As long as the monarch gets rid of Liu and others, the scattered country will definitely be able to become strong. Zhou Huan said fiercely.

It was an expulsion just now, but in the blink of an eye, it became an expulsion.

The more Liu Tong listened, the more frightened he became, and he looked at the scattered dishes in horror.
