Chapter 266: Thumb's Doubts

For Han Fei, Yingzheng only wanted to test this time, and Han Fei's attitude has undoubtedly become the key to South Korea's survival.

The strategy agreed between Yingzheng and Li Si before was to accumulate ten years of savings, and then calm the world in one go, but in the face of South Korea, it is obvious that not much army and armament can be used, and it can be destroyed at will.

It seems that the destruction of Han is only a matter of whether you want to or not, and there must be a sufficient excuse.

Ying Zheng had already found this excuse, otherwise he would not have decided to repair Zheng Guoqu so quickly.

If the canal had not been repaired at the beginning, Yingzheng really would not have been able to find any excuse to attack South Korea, and even if he sent troops, he might have attracted several other countries to come to the rescue.

At this time, Li Si arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, according to Weichen, if we want to annex Korea, we don't have to do it ourselves."

"Oh? Don't we need to do anything?" Ying Zheng said curiously, "What do you think, sir, why haven't I heard you mention it before?"

"Hehe, what Weichen said is the current situation in the world, so naturally he said it, and it is not very useful at present." "And South Korea, on the other hand, has already buried hidden dangers for itself as early as 10 years ago."

"The current situation, hidden dangers?" Sima Jie thought for a moment and said, "What did the gentleman mean, but Luoyi?"

"Hahaha, it's worthy of being a doctor, and he really broke the mystery in one word." Li Si laughed and said, "Yes, this is Luoyi."

"Luoyi ......" Changping Jun nodded slightly and said, "After Lu Xiang destroyed the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, he did not occupy its land, but only dispersed the Zhou royal family, perhaps, at that time, he didn't want Daqin to become the target of public criticism."

"Yes, if you defeat the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and occupy Luoyi, then it is no different from a rebellion in name, and the countries can unite to attack Great Qin at will." Lees said.

"So Lü Buwei didn't forcibly occupy Luoyi, but only brought back Jiuding." Ying Zheng said.

Jiuding was hidden in Lü Buwei's Treasure Pavilion, which was no secret to the powerful ministers of the court.

"Exactly." Li Si nodded and said, "And then, as we all know, because Korea is the closest to Luoyi, it sent troops to occupy Luoyi on the grounds of protecting the remnants of the Zhou royal family.

"What's going on in Luoyi right now?" Ying Zheng asked.

Changping Jun arched his hand and said: "Back to the king, South Korea has not dared to do too obvious in these years, just to collect some taxes on his behalf, and the Taishou of Luoyi is also the internal history of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty back then, named Zhuge Teng."

"It's the famous Tai Shi Teng back then." Lees added.

"The widow has heard of this man." Ying Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that the variables that Mr. Fei is referring to are Luoyi and Na Nei Shiten?"

"Not bad." Li Si said, "Since the nations have not bothered too much about this matter, they will definitely not care about this matter, after all, the topic of the Great Zhou is too sensitive. And it is said that Zhuge Teng is not doing well under the rule of South Korea."

"It was originally the internal history of the Great Zhou, but now it has become the county guard of South Korea, not to mention the difference in status, just the feeling of being under the fence must be uncomfortable." Meng Tian said beside him.

Changping Jun also said: "Indeed, I also heard that Zhuge Teng has long been dissatisfied with Korea, but the problems left by the Eastern Zhou Dynasty are too special, and if he is not careful, he will not only bury himself, but also affect the people."

After the fall of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the unified regime representing China disappeared, and it is currently in a situation where the Seven Heroes rise together and the Seven Kings compete for hegemony, and the remaining strength of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty can only protect himself and dare not get close to any party.

Ying Zheng thought about it for a while, then looked at Li Si and said, "Since Mr. has a plan, let's talk about the plan."

Li Si smiled and said, "Since Zhuge Teng has a lot of complaints about South Korea, why don't you bring it over?"

"It was Great Qin who destroyed the Eastern Zhou, but the remnants of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty did not necessarily hold a grudge against Great Qin, and they may still be grateful that Lü Buwei did not kill them all in the first place."

"And if Great Qin can inherit the mantle of the Great Zhou and reunify the four seas, it will undoubtedly give the Eastern Zhou people a kind of hope."

"Besides, it will

They are delivered from oppression, too

It can be regarded as a little compensation from Great Qin to the Eastern Zhou."

Li Si's analysis is not unreasonable, but to Ying Zheng's ears, it has more profound meaning.

At the beginning, in order to create a situation for Yingzheng, Lü Buwei brought back Jiuding and ended the dominance of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in a relatively mild way, but the remnants of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty have been swaying in the wind and rain like duckweed in the past ten years.

The original relationship between the monarch and the minister is now turned upside down, and he can only bow down to South Korea, the weakest of the seven heroes.

The gap is not obvious, such as the remnants of the powerful such as Nei Shiteng, how can they be willing?

For Ying Zheng, facing the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, there was always a sense of guilt.

Ji Fa handed over the country to you, but you don't even care about the life and death of your descendants?

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and said, "If Zheng Guo doesn't invite him back to Han Fei, then Mr. will go to Xinzheng for a trip, and when he passes through Luoyi on the way, he must probe Zhuge Teng's tone, if he intends to return to obedience, the widow will definitely line up accordingly."

Li Si arched his hand and said, "Weichen obeys! If Zhuge Teng can return to the throne, the government of South Korea will inevitably be turbulent, and I just said that we don't need to contribute, which means to give Nei Shi Teng a chance."

"Let him vent his anger for himself and focus on South Korea in the future?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Well, yes, with this condition as a temptation, I believe he will definitely not refuse." Lees said.

"Hahaha, that's it." Ying Zheng smiled, "As for how to talk to him, it's up to the gentleman to handle it himself."

"Wechen takes orders." Li Si arched his hand.

Changpingjun exclaimed: "If this move is realized, then Korea can indeed be annexed by us without blood."

Sima Jie blinked his eyes and asked, "But if Zheng Guo invites Han Fei back, what then?"

"If Han Fei comes to Great Qin, the widow will allow him to be *** Houlu and leave him in the Qin State." Yingzheng said, "If he doesn't want to, then forcing him to stay here will also shake the will of South Korea even more."

"It seems that inviting Han Fei to Xianyang is not in conflict with contacting Zhuge Teng." Meng Tian said.

Sima Jie nodded and said, "Perhaps, we can also put some pressure on King Han and ask him to take the initiative to send Han Fei over."

"Well, it should be." Ying Zheng said, "Then wait for Zheng Guo to come back, let's see the situation, and then decide the road in the future."

"Okay." The ministers responded together.

Ying Zheng looked at Meng Tian again and asked, "How are the other materials needed for the thumb prepared, can you get them together in two days?"

"Back to the king, everything has been gathered, and it is on the way to be transported, and it will arrive tomorrow." Meng Tian said.

"Okay, then according to the original plan, the day after tomorrow with the ghost hands, let's go to Lishan." Ying Zheng said.

"Yes." Meng Tian responded.

Two days later, all the preparations were ready, and Ying Zheng set off for Lishan with his thumb and ghost hands.

In late autumn, there is a scene of farmers harvesting crops along the way, and I can see the thumb again and again: "Huaxia is really a country of farming, hehe, you can grow crops by cultivating in the ground, which is much better than shepherding sheep."

"Yes, if you shepherd sheep, you can only eat mutton." Ying Zheng smiled, "As for farming, you can plant whatever you want, eat whatever you grow, and after harvesting the grain, the leaves of those grains can be fed to the sheep."

"That's a good job." Thumb said, "It's a pity that no one can cultivate the vast land in the Western Regions, so you can only let the cattle and sheep graze the wild grass."

Ying Zheng's eyebrows moved, and he asked tentatively, "Thumb senior, if the widow brings the method of planting fields to the Western Regions, do you think the people of the Western Regions will accept it?"

Thumb hehe smiled and said: "It's not easy for others to say, but if you want to say that it is exquisite, as long as the ghost hand is in charge of the promotion, then the whole country will definitely respond, after all, we are different from those herdsmen in the grassland, and the people in the Western Regions are all grazing in the land."

"yes, who wouldn't want to harvest more in their own fields." Ying Zheng said, "But the widow heard that the Western Regions also grow a lot of fruits

Son or something?"

Thumb nodded and said, "The sunshine and climate of the Western Regions are here

It is suitable for planting fruit trees, but the fruit is not as good as food, and although there are enough cattle and sheep, it is too monotonous to eat meat."

Ying Zheng thought for a while, and then said, "That's not as good as this, Thumb Senior, during your time in Great Qin, you can learn whatever you want, Huaxia has a lot of good things, just like you raise ice Gu, Huaxia is also a must in raising cicadas."

"Okay." After seeing the gorgeous silk, Thumb was also very interested in cicada silk.

When it came to Ice Gu, Ying Zheng seemed to think of something, and asked, "By the way, Senior Thumb, these Ice Gu are okay all the way?"

"Hehe, okay, the ghost hands are taking care of it, and the food they need is also very well prepared, I looked before leaving, and it seems that I have gained a lot more weight than when I was in the Western Regions." Thumb laughed.

"Haha, this way the widow will be relieved." Ying Zheng laughed, and finally put his hanging heart into his stomach.

Talk about it along the way, and soon arrive at the foot of Li Mountain.

Meng Yi, who arrived in advance, received the news early in the morning and had been waiting at the outermost checkpoint for a long time.

"Well, it's okay here." After seeing Meng Yi, Ying Zheng asked eagerly.

"Everything is going well, but the tomb is very different now." Meng Yi replied.

"Oh?" Ying Zheng suddenly became interested, "Let's go, let's see."

Meng Yi answered, and then led the way in front, and the group walked in the direction of the secret room.

After crossing two more checkpoints, the camp of the Mengjia army appeared in front of him, although during this time, the core of the Mengjia family was not in Lishan, but the Mengjia army was still neat and tidy, and the morale was high.

Ying Zheng did not stop, and went straight to the big tent of the Chinese army with his thumb.

Ji Fa, who was still dressed in white, was holding her white beard and waiting in front of the big tent with a smile.

The first moment Thumb saw Ji Fa, he was suddenly stunned, and his steps slowed down unconsciously.

"Senpai." Ying Zheng shouted and went straight over.

"Hehe, I'm back." Ji Fa's smile was full of satisfaction.

What happened in the Western Regions before, Ying Zheng had already informed Ji Fa through letters.

"Well, it's been three or four days since I returned to Xianyang, and I repaired it, and then I rushed over, and the widow introduced me to the seniors, this is ......" Yingzheng turned around, but saw that his thumb was still stunned in place, three or four feet away from the two.

Ying Zheng noticed the strangeness of his thumb, raised his voice a little, and asked, "Thumb senior, what's wrong with you?"

"Oh, no, nothing." Only then did the thumb come back to his senses, and after steadying his mind, he walked over quickly.

And in this ten steps away, the thumb's gaze never left Ji Fa, and he kept looking up and down at the fairy-like old man in white in front of him.

When many people saw Ji Fa for the first time, most of them looked like this, and Ying Zheng didn't pay much attention to it, and said, "Thumb senior, this is the senior Ji that widows often mention."

The thumb saluted very respectfully, "The thumb of the exquisite ghost hand, meet the seniors."

"Hehe, it's a guest from afar, hurry up and rest in the tent." Ji Fa laughed and let his thumb into the big tent.

After sitting down, his thumb spoke: "I just saw that Senior Ji is so immortal, like an immortal coming to the world, so I was in a trance for a while, I hope to forgive me."

"Hehe, it's okay." Ji Fa said.

"Dare to ask your seniors about longevity?" Thumb asked.

Before Ji Fa could speak, Ying Zheng stopped and said, "The predecessor never told others his age, and even the widow didn't know."

Thumb nodded slightly, and then asked, "Then I wonder if my predecessor has ever been to the Essence?"

Ji Fa bowed slightly, but then asked, "The old man has indeed been to the refinement, have you ever seen the old man?"

Thumb's face froze, then he shook his head and said, "I haven't seen my predecessors, it's just that my ancestors left a portrait many years ago

However, the appearance of the person in the painting is very similar to that of his predecessors, so this is why I doubt it."

"......" Ji Fa was speechless, and a hint of strangeness flashed in his old eyes.
