In the conservatory, there was silence for a while.

Zheng Fan was trying to make himself as natural as possible, but then he showed a wry smile.

He underestimated the enemy.

Of course, the process of the whole thing, the so-called general trend, and whether he Zheng Shoubei underestimated the enemy, had nothing to do with it.

It can only be said that there are no fuel-efficient lamps that can sit on the dragon chair.

On the three sides of Qianguo, there are nearly 700,000 troops, and they are the most capable troops in Qianguo today, originally, if they go south to help, it is entirely possible for them to directly eat this army on the plain with 200,000 iron cavalry led by the two marquis of Zhenbei and Jingnanhou.

As long as this battle is completed, then the northern part of Qianguo will lose most of its ability to resist, but at present, if the soldiers and horses on the three sides of Qianguo do not come back to help, they will always be nailed there like nails, and even send some men and horses to secretly attack the empty Yan country.

Then no matter how unscrupulous the Zhenbei Army and the Jingnan Army are in the north of the Qianguo territory, they still can't eat this piece of fat completely into their mouths and digest it at the same time, but they will be stuck there like fish bones.

meantime

The Barbarian Royal Court will take this opportunity to try to break free from the control of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, because they have been waiting for this opportunity for a hundred years.

And the Jin State, for the sake of cold lips and teeth, is very likely to send a large army to attack the Yan State, and this is almost a sure thing, otherwise the forbidden army of Yanjing and the rear camp of the Jingnan Army would not have been sent to the easternmost defense line of the empire early.

However, Dayan's most powerful field corps was trapped in the north of Qianguo, and when it advanced, it could no longer advance or retreat, not only to give up the fat that had almost bitten into its mouth, but also to face the counterattack of Qianguo.

For a while, Zheng Fan felt a little chill in his heart.

Dayan, who was originally in a good situation, suddenly fell into the situation of starting a war with the three sides.

Seeing that Zheng Fan stopped talking, Emperor Qianhuang said:

"To be honest, I still have to thank him Ji Runhao, the empty salary of the three sides and the forbidden army, this large amount of empty military expenses, put it on hold, no one dared to touch it, not even me.

But now, with the help of your Yan people's knives, I helped me and Daqian, and broke this pus.

You say, how can I thank that Majesty in your family? ”

"But the north of Daqian has also been mostly destroyed."

"Don't tight, don't tight." Emperor Qianhuang shook his head indifferently and said: "The wealth of my great cadres is in the south of the Qianjiang River, in the south of the Yangtze River, and the taxes in Jiangnan account for eighty percent of the annual income of my great cadres' treasury.

The three sides have been abandoned for too long, Chu County, Beihe County, and even more poor counties, may be considered rich in the eyes of your Yan people, but in the eyes of our dry people, they are considered poor places.

The only one who is affected a little bit is Xishan County, but even if Xishan County is destroyed, it will be a good deal for me.

I'm not afraid of your jokes, I'm already redundant, don't look at the glamorous appearance, but the treasury is almost to the point where Yin eats grain.

Three redundant, one is redundant, I will send wave after wave of van troops up, let you break up, the three sides and the forbidden army generals and the magnates standing behind them, do not dare to hide anything about empty salaries, I can just take advantage of the general trend to put my hand into these two armies for justifiable reasons.

Redundant officials, how many officials in the north have derelicted their duties, been killed, and surrendered, and they have just cleaned up a wave.

This third redundancy is the monk's way, you Yan people do not believe in Buddhism or Taoism, and countless temples and Taoist temples have been destroyed along the way, which has also helped me a lot.

What's more, some temples and Taoist temples have taken the initiative to hand over the grain to you Yan people in order to protect themselves, which is another great excuse for me, I have long seen that these outsiders who do not produce and work but do not have to pay taxes are uncomfortable for a long time! ”

Speaking of Xingtou,

Emperor Qianhuang stood up,

even went around in circles,

Regardless of his age, he is really elegant and chic.

maybe, it is very in line with the aesthetics of this era, but Zheng Fan really can't appreciate it, perhaps because there are too many performance artists in later generations.

"Your Majesty." Zheng Fan said.

Emperor Qianhuang stopped his figure and said:

"What else do you have to say?"

"Any idea, at the very beginning, is very beautiful."

"I understand, so I didn't let you meet with the officials, I am very happy now, but the officials estimate that most of them are panicked, that is, the ministers in the court, they are all first-class good players in the peaceful and prosperous times, but in the troubled times, they can only be a showman."

"Your Majesty, the foreign minister thinks that Your Majesty may think too beautifully."

"You're a dead duck with a hard mouth?"

"It is impossible for Qianguo to conjure up a large army all at once!"

"Give me three years, and I can retrain a real 800,000 forbidden army!"

Emperor Qianhuang bent down, looked at Zheng Fan sitting on the blanket, and said:

"Actually, I'm the emperor, and it's very ordinary, but there's really no way.

Like two children, one herding cattle and the other chopping wood, they sat together under a big tree for an afternoon, doing nothing.

But the child who herds the cow, his ox, has eaten enough grass, and the child who chops wood has not cut a single piece of wood.

Do you know what that means? ”

Zheng Fan suddenly felt a wave of anger and irritability in his heart;

To tell the truth, Zheng Shoubei has never regarded himself as a Yan person in the true sense, but as the "birthplace" of this world, plus the country that has struggled all the way, emotional bias is naturally inevitable.

The Emperor continued:

"One is poor, the other is rich, everyone, the foundation is different."

The emperor flicked his long sleeves,

"Da Qian, the capital is more sufficient, he Ji Runhao, the horse stepped on the door valve, gambled everything to start this war, I don't like to play money, and I basically don't play any card games, but I understand a truth, the more you want to win, the more likely you are to lose.

My family has a thick foundation, I can lose one, two, three, and many others, but he Ji Runhao, he can't afford to lose, he can't afford to lose a handful! ”

Zheng Fan found that at this time, he had been completely suppressed by the Emperor in terms of momentum and painting style.

However, Zheng Fan still stood up, gave a deep look at the Qianhuang, and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, if we can't eat this piece of meat in Qianguo, then my Dayan will not let it be left there in good condition and wait for you Qianguo to pick up this piece of meat again."

"What do you mean?" There was a slight flicker in the Emperor's eyes.

But Zheng Fan was not afraid at all, and said directly:

"Your Majesty should know that since the south, our Yan army has been very restrained."

Li Fusheng can be said to be suffocated, but he is still patient.

"That's because my Yan Jun thinks that the next piece of land will be the land of Yan Kingdom, and the people on this land will be the people of my Yan Kingdom.

If it really comes to the situation that Your Majesty said you said,

My Dayan more than 200,000 iron horsemen will no longer seal the sword,

Since the land of Gyeonggi, all the way back from the slaughter, Your Majesty, you can let the trilateral army continue to hold out, and my Dayan's butcher's knife will go back all the way bloody!

It is said that the chickens and dogs in the north of Qianguo will not be left, that is impossible;

But ten rooms and nine emptiness, it's not difficult!

Even if the Qianguo has the wealth of the south of the Yangtze River, it will not be comfortable in the face of a completely devastated north, right? ”

The Emperor's voice deepened,

Road:

"I'm okay with that."

The emperor's heart can open his mouth These are my people, but the next moment, he can flutter yellow paper for his people.

"What about the state of Chu? In the face of a Qianguo that has been greatly damaged, will the Chu State continue to be indifferent? ”

"Okay, kind of an envoy, but do you know what your problem is?"

"The minister doesn't know."

"It's too much to take for granted."

Emperor Qianhuang walked to the table, picked up a bunch of grapes, put it in his mouth, and said as he chewed:

"The king of Chu is already old, he has been bedridden for a year, and the four princes of Chu each have fiefs and soldiers and horses in hand, do you think it is still possible for the current Chu State to send troops to the outside world?"

Zheng Fan was silent.

"Of course, if you Yan people really kill and return and completely abolish several counties in the north of my Daqian, I will indeed be very distressed, but it is not a good thing, sometimes, how to make everyone from the court to the people hate a thing, it is really difficult and difficult.

Now it's okay, you Yan people can do it, I can calmly reorganize people's hearts in the future, and then shout the slogan of the Northern Expedition.

Maybe it is a loss for the country, but it is beneficial for the dragon chair. ”

Zheng Fan took two steps back, bowed and said:

"The minister is taught."

"It's also strange, maybe it's because it's rare for me to meet someone with such a similar temper, and I can be open and dare to speak without restraint in front of me, so today's words will inevitably be a little more.

Zheng Aiqing, let's do it, you can stay in my Qianguo, and I promise you a future! ”

Zheng Fan immediately knelt on the ground,

A smile spread across the Emperor's face,

Road:

"Zheng Aiqing agreed?"

Zheng Fan shook his head,

Road:

"The minister is a little dizzy."

"Why?"

"The foreign minister almost thought that at this time, it was the soldiers of the Qianguo Kingdom who were coming to the city of Yanjing, not the soldiers of my Yanguo army who were coming to the capital."

After speaking, Zheng Fan stood up again, without the slightest panic of the previous emperor.

"What's wrong with what I told you earlier? Tomorrow, your Yan army can attack the city and take a look, look at this Shangjing City, but you can bite it down!

Wait a little longer, and see, when the barbarians and the Jin army enter the hinterland of your Yan Kingdom, what will you Yan Kingdom do!

Destiny is not in Yan! ”

Zheng Fan sighed and said to Emperor Qian:

"Your Majesty, the minister would like to ask you a question."

"But it doesn't hurt to ask."

"Your Majesty, have you ever fought?"

"What?"

"Have you ever carried a knife yourself and led the charge at the front?"

"Never."

"Oh, no wonder, Your Majesty, although the minister is a foreign minister, but for the sake of His Majesty's reward for such food, the foreign minister wants to admonish."

"Say."

"Your Majesty, the battle is fought with a knife, not by sitting in this conservatory, leaning on this soft blanket and talking eloquently.

No matter how much Your Majesty says, it can't change the fact that my Dayan army has already appeared outside your Shangjing City.

If nothing else, that is, if someone joins forces with the Yan army outside my city at this time, and goes to the capital to say that it has fallen, it may also fall.

In this world, there is no such thing as a city that will never fall.

If that is the case, Your Majesty, what is the point of what you said to your ministers earlier? ”

"Are you laughing at me?"

"The foreign minister doesn't dare, the situation Your Majesty just said, in fact, the foreign minister doesn't know how to solve it, but there is one thing that the foreign minister knows very well, that is, no matter how much he says it, it can't stop the sharpness of the saber.

The foreign minister has only recently learned to fight, and he has been on the battlefield many times, so the foreign minister knows a truth better.

The court is the court, and the means are the means, but they are completely different from the battlefield. ”

Speaking of which,

Zheng Fan leaned over and bowed:

"Your Majesty, the ministers who should have said everything have said, Your Majesty, your teachings, the ministers also keep it in mind, and the ministers feel that they should go."

"I just scolded me, but now I want to leave?"

"If the foreign minister does not go out of the city tonight, tomorrow in the land of Gyeonggi, there will be 100,000 His Majesty's people to accompany the foreign minister to the funeral, foreign minister, it doesn't matter."

"Hehe, don't worry, the two countries are at war without slashing, I will let you go, I also want you to help me pass on a message back, the previous account, I will settle it with Ji Runhao one by one in the future."

"The foreign minister takes the order."

"Let's go down."

"The minister retired."

Walking out of the conservatory, a chill immediately hit, and Zheng Fan subconsciously shivered.

Looking back at the warm spring-like house behind him, alas, after living in Cuiliubao for a long time, the living conditions have really deteriorated a lot.

I don't know when this kind of hard work will come to an end.

Suddenly,

The words that the Emperor said before came to mind,

The trilateral army of the Qianguo country must not have a single soldier or soldier go south.

Zheng Fan's heart suddenly sank,

Don't last,

Did Dayan come first?

Walking out, through the corridor, the silver-armored woman was still standing.

Zheng Fan couldn't help but look at her a few more times,

Tell the truth,

At this time, Zheng Shoubei can still have fun in the bitterness, and there is no one.

The silver-armored woman was also looking at Zheng Fan,

When Zheng Fan walked in front of him,

She suddenly spoke:

"I heard that the Yan people are good at riding and shooting?"

Hiss......

Zheng Fan nodded and said:

"This envoy is also good at riding and shooting."

"Really?"

The female silver guard had a look of disbelief on her face.

"In the future, if we have the opportunity, we can try and learn from each other, and then the girl will know that what the envoy said is not a lie."

"You have evil in your eyes."

"Girl, you're mistaken." Zheng Fan's heart suddenly froze.

"Will the Yanren attack the city tomorrow?" The woman asked.

"I don't know, probably, I can do it, you know, it's so cold, everyone has to find something to do to do activities and move their muscles and bones, otherwise it's easy to get a cold."

"Then tomorrow I will compete with the messenger."

"Huh?"

Zheng Fan suddenly felt that something seemed to be a little wrong, as if that guy from the Emperor Qianhuang had said something wrong?

"The envoy should also participate in the siege tomorrow, right?"

"If nothing else, it should be, but I'm in the city, girl, you are in the city, unless the capital is broken tomorrow, it will be difficult for us to meet."

"It's okay, I can go down to the messenger."

"No, why does the girl care so much about me?"

"Because when the envoy came before, he looked at me, which made me very uncomfortable, and I wanted to kill you with a sword, but you are also a messenger, and you can't die in the capital tonight, so I can only find an opportunity to kill you tomorrow."

"Girl, I think it's a man's matter, it should be resolved between men, I ......"

"I don't have a man."

"I'm sorry, I'm clumsy."

"I'm not married yet, so I can only solve my affairs myself."

"Huh?"

Not married?

Suddenly,

A sword floated out and appeared behind the woman, as if spiritual, and whispered on the side of her cheek.

This Nima is really a high-end technical job,

Bullshit Nine Rank Martial Artist,

Lao Tzu's eight-rank martial artists can't do this step, they can't even think about it!

What a widow, what a concubine, what a wonderful thing, the emperor, you are an old and disrespectful bastard!

"I remember that your envoy's name is Zheng Fan."

"I think we ......"

"My name is Thyme."

Zheng Fan's eyes immediately widened, and he blurted out: "The Baili Sword is ......"

"Brother."

"............" Zheng Fan.

Zheng Fan left in a bit of a daze, at this moment, what Dayan's national fortunes and future were no longer in his consideration, and the trend of the war had been left behind.

Zheng Fan's mind is now full of thoughts, the sister of Baili Sword, one of the four great swordsmen, said that she was going to kill herself?

The Baili Sword shouldn't be weaker than Shatuo Que Stone, right?

No matter how weak her sister is, if she can show the emperor the door, she will definitely not be weak, right?

With this depressed mood, Zheng Fan walked a long way forward.

What he didn't know was that

After he was gone,

Thyme Orchid looked at the saber floating in front of her,

frowned slightly,

Talking to himself:

"You said, you sensed the last sorrow of the three swords on him, Yuan Zhenxing, that fool, died in his hands?"

Thyme Orchid immediately remembered when she was a child,

The greasy man with three swords on his back came to him pushing a wheelbarrow full of sugar gourds,

To myself, who was still young at that time, said:

"Call me uncle, these sugar gourds are all yours!"

When I called "uncle",

The man, who liked to carry three swords on his back, laughed like a fool, as if he thought he had taken advantage of his brother.

The fool who has been hanging on his son and has obviously had a good swordsman's cultivation but has been living a poor life,

That's it,

Gone?

Thyme Orchid was a little puzzled,

Fortunately, the swordsman's style of acting is very simple, and no matter how untied the knot, a sword goes down,

Either the sword is broken or the sword is broken,

It's all over.

………

Under the guidance of the little eunuch with the lantern, Zheng Fan got into the carriage again, and in the carriage, the blind man was wiping his mouth, and Ah Ming looked indifferent.

"The food of the Qianguo people is really good." The blind man sighed, and then looked at Zheng Fan and said, "Lord, what's wrong?" ”

These exchanges all take place in the open black channel built by spiritual power, and there is no need to worry about being eavesdropped by outsiders.

Zheng Fan rubbed his face vigorously with both hands,

Road:

"Something's wrong."

In the open black channel, Zheng Fan told the matter again, and he hadn't missed the sister of Baili Sword.

"Huh, widow?" Ah Ming smiled first.

"What are you laughing at, how many swords can you block others?" Zheng Fan asked.

Ah Ming shook his head and said, "Lord, this is simple, you don't just go out alone, in the camp, can she dare to kill her directly?" ”

At this moment, the carriage had already left the palace, walking on the curfewed streets, and was heading towards the north gate.

Suddenly,

More than a dozen black-clothed people suddenly appeared in the houses on both sides, all of them holding crossbows and aiming at the carriage.

The blind man's complexion changed suddenly, and he exclaimed:

"There are assassins!"
