Chapter 14: The Storm and the Clouds
Yun Yue has been a little proud recently, after continuous and unremitting efforts. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info finally let Qin Qing give birth to a white and chubby little girl for herself, and today is the day of the little girl's full moon. Xiao Xia and Xiao Qiu, who have been married one after another in the past two years, have returned home, and Xiao Xia already has children. The old grandmother is now surrounded by a group of milk dolls, and she is happy with her mouth open all day long. Yun Baobao always said that grandma's tooth roots were as small as his, and he didn't let grandma eat candy.
Five years ago, the Huns fought a fierce battle with the Zhao people. At first, the Zhao people suffered a great loss, but soon with the appearance of the peerless general Li Mu, the battle situation began to develop in favor of the Zhao State. Sima Shang led his troops to ambush Da Dan Yu's headquarters in Anxie Valley, causing Da Dan Yu to be seriously injured. The Huns had to retreat, and the next year they heard the news of Da Danyu's death. The old and strong Zuo Dadu Lieutenant picked up another child named Mao Dun to be Shan Yu, and now the Huns are much more honest in the Xiongnu steppe.
Zhao's doctor, Guo Kai, was imprisoned shortly after the end of the war. was originally sentenced to beheading, but after King Zhao was ill and hung up, the new generation of King Zhao actually pardoned Guo Kai. What's even more surprising is that only a year after Guo Kai was released from prison, he was reinstated. For various reasons, Yun Yue thought about it for a long, long time. But I haven't figured out the reason for it for a long, long time, so I can only explain it by saying that the mediocrity and immorality have been exhausted.
After this battle, Zhao once again established the title of the strongest soldier in the East. Through a series of political marriages, he became the gold medal fighter of the local tyrant of Qi State. Now the Qi-Zhao alliance is a bit indestructible, and the feud between the two countries, the Yan State, has been oppressed to the point of breathlessness.
Prince Dan has come to Pingliang several times to ask for help, in addition to asking for loans. He also purchased a large number of ordnance, of course, these were exchanged for the mineral deposits in the Yan Kingdom, and in order to curry favor with the Yun family, Yan Wangxi even drove the prisoners in the prison to the mine to engage in heavy manual labor. This time, the Yun family even saved labor.
However, the Yun family did not treat these prisoners badly, although there were no big fish and big meat every day. But the food can still be full, especially the Yun family's cooks. You can make a coarse meal very delicious, and there is soup for every meal. Even though there are only two eggs in a large bucket of water, there is a layer of egg blossoms floating on it. Slightly poured some oil squeezed from sesame seeds, and the taste even poured two bowls of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who came to inspect.
What made the prisoners most excited was that they were actually paid to work in the Yun family's mine. Although there are few, there are. It's all murder and arson, and they were all bad ruffians, and they planned to be exhausted to death if they weren't killed in the mines. As a result, I didn't expect that not only would I be able to eat and clothe myself. You can still get paid, and there are two days off every month. The Yun family even allowed prostitutes from Qinglou to come to the mine to do business. The premise is that they have to accept the Yun family's tap.
Eat and drink, and women sleep. After being imprisoned, the prisoners were full of enthusiasm for work. The ore yield is getting higher and higher, and some pits have a tendency to dig up magma. One of the negative effects of this was that the crime rate in the Yan Kingdom had increased greatly, which was something that Prince Dan and Yan Wangxi had not expected.
With the support of the Yun family, coupled with the sudden emergence of a famous general named Fan Yuqi in the Yan Kingdom. Although Zhao and Qi had the advantage, there was not much to do with Yan. What made the people of Zhao even more annoyed was that the people of Qin supported Yan State. South Korea, which also belongs to the Three Jin Dynasty, actually supported Yan Guo under the instigation of the Yun family.
As long as Zhao increases troops on the border of Yan, South Korea must also deploy troops on the border of Han and Zhao. The current South Korea is not the weak South Korea of a few years ago, after the reorganization and training of the Yun family instructors, plus the strong helmet and sword of Pingliang. Several skirmishes between Zhao and Korea ended in a crushing defeat for the Zhao army.
Every time Korean soldiers came to the border of Zhao, King Zhao had to transfer Li Mu back from the front line to guard the border of Han and Zhao, and only this famous general could control the field. And the teenager Sima Shang and Fan Yuqi fought several times, but they were all undecided. The combined forces of Qi and Zhao finally gave up after several attempts. The six eastern countries have been very quiet for a few years, but they are secretly accumulating strength. War is in danger of breaking out at any time.
The Qin State has also had a rare stop in recent years, and Jing Er quickly overthrew Lü Buwei. drove this middle father back to the fiefdom, but what he never expected was. The middle father is not old-hearted, and he retires without stopping. G20 meetings are held at home all day long to discuss major events in the world, and the brothers of Sanshan and Wuyue are coming in waves.
According to some extremely unreliable gossip, some envoys from the Shandong states were also mixed in. The most active were the Qi and Wei states, and they wanted to ask the middle father to go out of the mountains to the Qi and Wei states to serve as prime ministers. I heard that the envoys of Wei even brought a letter of appointment. The sincerity was leveraged, but the middle father was unmoved. When it comes to emotion, there are tears, remembering the traditional friendship with the deceased ancestor King Qin (King Zhuangxiang). It means that he was born as a native of Qin and died as a dead man of Qin, and he will never turn his back on His Majesty King Qin in this life.
Whether others believe it or not, Jing Er said he didn't believe it. He firmly believes that the life of this kind of idol character is the biggest threat to himself. Since your fiefdom is too close to the vassal states, let you move.
The middle father who was forcibly demolished wanted to cry without tears, and he had the heart to take Jing Er as his son. However, Jing Er didn't take his father's life. After packing up the soft packing, the middle father couldn't think of committing suicide. However, it is a little different from the history that Yun Yue learned, Tai Shi Gong said that the middle father died of wine. According to the words of later generations, it should be regarded as suicide by taking poison.
But the news that Yunyue heard was that Lü Buwei learned from the younger emperor Emperor Chongzhen and chose to hang himself on the southeast branch. On a windy and dark night, a lonely man hanged himself from a crooked-necked tree in the courtyard. It is said that when they found it, they were out of breath.
Jing Er was overjoyed when he heard the news, and in addition to grief, he began to reward Lü Buwei's sons and nephews. All the sons and nephews of the Lu family have been sealed, and there are hundreds of miles of fiefdoms. It's just a little farther away...... Dian Kingdom! Yun Yue checked the map and was a little puzzled. The current Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau doesn't seem to be the territory of Great Qin? And as far as your sealing method is concerned, it seems that even Myanmar and Laos have been sealed. Aren't you afraid of leaving a territorial dispute for future generations?
The great Majesty Jing Er naturally doesn't take the usual path, anyway, Lao Tzu's land will not be given to you. If you want to survive, you can go to the Dian Kingdom to rob it yourself. If you grab that territory, even if it is Daqin's, if you can't grab it, no one will care if you can't starve to death.
The Lu clan is mourning, and it is said that half of them committed suicide before going to the Dian Kingdom. The other half died in the reckless jungle, and no one from the Lu family reappeared on the land of China anyway. As far as the hand of killing them all is concerned, His Majesty Jing Er has done it quite thoroughly.
In short, China has been in good weather in recent years. The various vassal states are secretly accumulating national strength, and on the bright side, they are harmonious. However, the political struggle within the princes became more and more cruel, and the old four princes of the Warring States period, Chun Shenjun, were killed by his mother and uncle (Li Yuan), the king of Chu, who succeeded to the throne.
Lian Po, who fled to Wei, was also hunted down and killed for participating in a conspiracy against the king of Wei. The helpless old general fled again, and this time the target was the state of Chu.
ps: Last night the system was wrong, and the chapter was repeated. After being reminded by a book friend, the old dragon has changed. Once you re-download it, you can watch it. I'm sorry for the inconsistency you've caused. Thank you for your continued support of usurpation! (To be continued.) )
