Come to the Spring Palace

At this time, Fusu and Hu Hai didn't know that a battle of "revenge" from his teacher was coming.

Before bowing his head, Hu Hai was still busy dealing with the schoolwork that had accumulated in the past few days.

There isn't a lot of schoolwork these days, so Hu Hai is confident that he will finish his schoolwork before Chen Ke comes, so that his teacher will have no excuse to clean him up.

It's just a pity that Hu Hai is still too young.

If his teacher wants to clean him up, does he need any more reason?

Even if you have to find a reason, there are many reasons.

Why do you have to grab a piece of schoolwork?

Inside the palace room, on the path.

The flowers and trees on both sides of the road are densely planted, Chen Ke walked on the path, with a little thought in his expression, he was thinking about how to clean up Hu.... Oh no, thinking about the things that Ying Zheng said before.

Before the end of the year, a bunch of jobs promised years ago have piled up.

The most important of these must be about the Xiongnu steppe, but it would be a pity if such a large piece of land was left like that.

But if he didn't let it go, Chen Ke really couldn't think of someone suitable for dealing with that place.

Thinking like this, he couldn't help but sigh.

Suddenly, Chen Ke felt that his hairline had shifted up a little, otherwise how could he touch his forehead so easily?

Prairie King City

This was originally the royal city of the Xiongnu, but now that the Xiongnu have been driven away, this not very luxurious royal city has become the base of Daqin in Mobei.

I have to say that the Xiongnu are still very good at choosing places, and the location of this royal city is really good.

Han Xin looked at the surrounding buildings and said with emotion on his face: "General Meng, shouldn't we go back?" ”

"After making such a great achievement, I must report to Your Majesty."

"What's more, since then, there are no more enemies in Mobei, so there is no need for so many troops to be stationed here, right?"

Meng Tian just glanced at Han Xin with slanted eyes, with some helplessness in his eyes.

He felt that Han Xin was too simple.

With so many troops stationed on the frontier, is it simply to guard against some disasters on the frontier or the Huns?

It's a joke.

After the unification of the world, these soldiers will not have much chance to fight, if they are stationed in the country, or disbanded, then in the next period of time, these "**" things will appear in all parts of Daqin.

Being stationed in the frontier is not only to give these soldiers a hope, but also to guard against war and chaos in the frontier, and even more so to prevent these soldiers from making rebellion.

Even if there is no fighting on the frontier now, these soldiers will not be allowed to go back.

Especially a large area of back.

It's just that these words are not suitable to say in front of Han Xin, especially now that it is still in a public place.

So Meng Tian could only smile and say: "This great achievement is your credit, what does it have to do with me?" ”

"What's more, although Mobei has no Huns, it cannot be said that there are no enemies."

His eyes narrowed slightly, and his fingers unconsciously pointed in the northwest direction: "Have you forgotten?" There are still some countries in the northwest, but those countries are not enemies of Great Qin for the time being. ”

Han Xin was slightly stunned, what does this mean?

"General Meng, do you mean that the countries of the Western Regions are also our enemies?"

"But don't those countries in the Western Regions trade with us and maintain a friendly state?"

"Why did you become our enemy?"

Meng Tian sneered: "Friendly status? Have trade relations? ”

"How can you be an enemy?"

He sighed, with a hint of depth in his tone: "Do you know why those countries in the Western Regions have such a good relationship with us now?" ”

Han Xin shook his head slightly, his face dazed and confused.

"The last general doesn't know."

Meng Tian sneered, with coldness in his voice: "They have a good relationship with us because there were Xiongnu before. ”

"The Xiongnu is like a wolf, he is not only our enemy, but also the enemy of those countries in the Western Regions."

"Do you think that the Xiongnu are only targeting Great Qin?"

"You're so naïve!"

Han Xin, who is still a teenager and has not even been crowned, was stunned when he heard it.

Although he was born with this kind of talent, he is just a child.

Even in this precocious antiquity, he was a child.

In ancient times, he was crowned an adult at the age of twenty, and he is only seventeen or eighteen years old now, according to the original trajectory, he participated in the first year of the second emperor, that is, when Xiang Yu and others rebelled.

It is still nearly a decade away from the original time.

Ten years later, Han Xin naturally has gone through vicissitudes and understands everything, but today's Han Xin is just a blank slate.

Looking at Han Xin's ignorant eyes, Meng Tian said with a smile: "Where do you think such a big territory of the Xiongnu came from?" They were all snatched from various countries in the Western Regions! ”

"Even if those yellow sand lands have no effect, the Huns want it!"

"In that piece of yellow sand, I don't know how many countries are buried, some of those countries died in the strife and civil strife in the Western Regions, and some of them were wiped out by the Xiongnu!"

"The Xiongnu is like a knife, with both sides of the blade facing Daqin and the Western Regions."

"With the Xiongnu here, Great Qin's attitude towards the countries of the Western Regions will be more friendly, because Great Qin is not willing to suffer from the enemy."

"With the Huns here, the Western Regions national team Daqin is even more friendly, because they don't want to face two powerful enemies at the same time!"

Han Xin's expression was a little surprised: "So, the existence of the Huns is actually a good thing?" ”

Meng Tian nodded slightly, and shook his head again: "Of course not." ”

He patiently explained, "Do you think that the countries of the Western Regions are more friendly to Great Qin? Not really. ”

"They are also friendly to the Xiongnu, and even some countries in the Western Regions are still biased towards the Xiongnu."

"The Xiongnu also knew that they were doing this, because they could neither exterminate those countries in the Western Regions, nor could they target Great Qin."

"So they're happy to see a tripartite balance as well."

When Meng Tian said this, he sighed faintly: "Haven't you noticed that since the Huns completely fled a few days ago, the side of the yellow sand has been a little restless." ”

Han Xin's mood was a little low at this time, and there was doubt and conviction in his voice.

"What does General Meng mean is that those people we thought were "desert bandits" are actually the pioneers and spies of the countries of the Western Regions?"

Meng Tian bowed slightly: "The pioneer is not the same, but the spies are real." ”

"It's just that what they don't know is that if we can drive away and defeat the Xiongnu, can't we do anything about them in the Western Regions?"

The light in his eyes was deep: "When I was in Xianyang, I heard Chen Fengchang mention the countries that had come to the Western Regions several times. ”

"Chen Fengchang's evaluation of these countries in the Western Regions is that there is flowing gold buried in the ground, which is enough to use hundreds or thousands of years of gold."

Meng Tian smiled slightly: "The countries of the Western Regions are paying attention to us, but as everyone knows, we are also playing with their ideas!" ”

Hearing this, Han Xin suddenly smiled.

At this time, the soldiers walking beside Meng Tian also had a look of surprise on their faces, so it turned out, he thought that those bandits were really bandits.

I didn't expect it to be some countries in the Western Regions.

His face couldn't help but shine a little again.

In fact, these soldiers are already tired of war, but they also know that they will not do anything without war, and even without war, they will not be able to live a better life.

So while they are looking forward to peace, they are anxious about the peace that is coming.

Now, his heart is in his stomach.

If the countries of the Western Regions use troops against Great Qin, then Great Qin will naturally fight back, and counterattacks will produce war, and war will need them!

They also need war!

Seven Star Courtyard

Di Lun sat there, holding a few white chess pieces in his hands, and across from him sat Xu Fu, who was already a little idle.

Xu Fu yawned, his face looking bored.

For people like Xu Fu, he is actually unwilling to be idle, and he is even more unwilling to stay in the same place all the time.

This was too difficult for Xu Fu.

He would rather die in that vast sea, in that never-ending road, in that endless exploration.

This is in line with Xu Fu's thoughts and character.

Di Lun is relatively calm and peaceful, although he did not meet His Majesty the First Emperor as promised a few years ago, but that Chen Fengchang has already promised, then there will be no problem.

He wasn't in vain these days, in the past two months in Daqin, he had already learned the identity of that Chen Fengchang.

Through Xu Fu, who was more well-informed, he learned that Chen Fengchang was about to step down from the position of governor of Penglaizhou and return to the central court.

Today, there is still one position that is vacant.

Whether it was Di Lun or Xu Fu, or anyone else in the court, they could guess.

After Chen Ke stayed in the imperial court, what position would he hold?

Thinking of this, Di Lun was even less anxious.

He felt the long-lost Central Plains civilization of the Shang Kingdom in Xianyang City, saw the real Central Plains civilization, and also got a glimpse of how prosperous the Yin Shang was eight hundred years ago.

"Stepping—"

There were bursts of footsteps, and the footsteps were chaotic, not like the same person, but like a lot of people.

Di Lun and Xu Fu glanced at each other, instantly understood what they were, and immediately stood up.

Sure enough, a loud sound sounded in the distance, and Yingzheng's figure appeared in the courtyard, followed by a large number of Iron Eagle Guards, Li Si, Wang Qian, and Chen Ke.

Di Lun looked at the person standing at the front, as well as Chen Ke, Li Si, and Wang Jian who were surrounding that person, and immediately understood in his heart that this was His Majesty the First Emperor!

His eyes watched unconsciously.

Eagle eyes, sword eyebrows, broad and powerful faces, not angry and self-threatening, look like a burst of hair standing on end.

He went over his figure in his mind with some weakness.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart and said: "This is the emperor, the third emperor of Degao, and the person who has covered the five emperors should be like His Majesty the First Emperor." ”

Before he finished sighing, he just stepped forward with Xu Fu.

"Minister Xu Fu, I have seen Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, ten thousand years-"

"Great Qin Wannian-"

And Di Lun said: "Xiao Wang has seen His Majesty the First Emperor of the Great Qin. ”

"Your Majesty the First Emperor for ten thousand years—"

"Great Qin Wannian-"

In fact, the king of the vassal state claimed that he should be a "minister", but first, the current Shang state did not belong to Great Qin, and second, Great Qin did not want a vassal state thousands of miles away.

They want a cooperative partner, or allies with the same interests.

Ying Zheng looked at Di Lun, who was saluting there, waved his hand, and said with a very relaxed expression: "King Shang doesn't need to be polite. ”

He looked at Di Lun and said in a very easy-going tone: "I have heard about the visit of the King of Shang for a long time, and I originally wanted to see you earlier, but a lot of things happened later, and I have not been able to come out of my senses. ”

"I haven't asked the king of Shang yet, how is your life in Xianyang during this time?"

"Are you satisfied?"

Di Lun looked very modest, he lowered his head slightly, and did not look directly at Ying Zheng's eyebrows.

"Your Majesty the First Emperor, the life of Xianyang City is very comfortable, and Xiao Wang can't help but miss the Yin Shang of eight hundred years ago."

There was a hint of nostalgia in his tone, but his words were secretly bringing him closer to Daqin.

"Eight hundred years ago, we used to be from the Central Plains, but after the country collapsed, we fled to that messy land."

"On that long journey, I don't know how many sages died on the road, and after all the hardships along the way, we finally came to the Yin Shang Continent."

Dillen's voice was filled with grief and joy.

Grief for those predecessors who died on the road back then, rejoice and now find the way home.

"Your Majesty."

For the first time, he looked into Ying Zheng's eyes: "A thousand years ago, I was equivalent to a person from Huaxia in the Central Plains!" ”

"I grew up drinking the same water, the big rivers and rivers are our mothers, and our blood flows in our veins."

"I'm waiting for this family!"

Listening to Di Lun's words, Yingzheng couldn't help but be a little moved, he stepped forward and was full of emotion; "A thousand years ago, it was a family."

"The grievances of a thousand years ago have dissipated with the fall of the Zhou royal family."

"Now that the king of Shang has come to this land of the Central Plains and returned to his homeland, it is a good thing, we are a family."

"Daqin will definitely do his best to entertain you"

With tears in his eyes, Di Lun looked at Ying Zheng and said: "Yin Shang is an old thing, and he is already an heir who has been exiled to another continent and lived and multiplied in another continent. ”

"Now Emperor Qin is still able to recognize us, and is willing to let us wanderers have a home."

"Such a great grace, the whole country of Shangguo, will never forget!"

For a while, Ying Zheng and Di Lun held hands and looked at each other with tears in their eyes, both moved by each other's words.

Chen Ke, who was standing behind, rolled his eyes silently.

That's a nice thing to say.

But in fact, almost a year ago, do the people on that land really still have the same blood flowing as the Central Plains?

Not necessarily.

But now both countries are willing to say this, then this is really the case.

It's just driven by profit.

At this time, Ying Zheng turned his head and looked at Chen Ke behind him, with some sighs in his voice: "This matter is not my work, but Chen Ke's credit!" ”
