Therefore, even when they are the most proud, two people will not appear at the banquet at the same time.

One of the dialogues that appears, the other must be in charge of the army, ready to turn his face and do it at any time. This is also the experience they gained when they were fighting at the bottom of Surabaya.

Don't get carried away, you have to keep a hand for yourself!

The reason why the two greedy and lustful guys can be so restrained and cautious is that they are afraid that some extreme elements will suddenly jump out and fight with them, or a few assassins will come out and play the trick of ending up with them.

This can also be regarded as the sequelae after the feat of Nie Zheng, Yaoli, Yu Rang and Jing Ke. These people have ruined the Assassins' market, and everyone has a bit of a headache for these outlaws.

Of course, the main thing is that they are a little weak-minded, after all, this Yanqi is the object they have chosen to establish authority, and it is to kill people!

……

When they realized that there was something wrong with the attitude of this Yanqi country, Liu Bang and Lu Juan did not hesitate and went straight to work.

Yuanqu City, a radius of about five or six miles, surrounded by mountains as a barrier, the road is difficult and difficult to travel, easy to defend and difficult to attack. This is also the courage of the Yanqi king Long Li Pona to dare to stand up to the Qin army.

In his mind, he occupies a favorable position, and the Qin army comes from afar, as long as he consumes a period of time, the Qin army runs out of food and grass, and he will naturally retreat in the face of difficulties.

However, he didn't expect anything, but he didn't expect his opponents to be Liu Bang and Lu Juan.

These two have been fighting at the bottom of Surabaya for many years, and what difficult opponent has not encountered?

There are ways to deal with these people.

It doesn't come out, does it?

If you don't come out, I'll send someone in for you—

So, the two of them also went to attack the city, but let people go out to drive away the people of Yanqi outside the capital, and they didn't kill, they just drove away.

Of course, I can't drive away, and I don't mind showing the knife to everyone.

This is like staking the land, Yanqi is originally a small country, and the tribes are all small tribes, some scattered herdsmen, where are the opponents of these regular armies armed to the teeth?

Under the promise that as long as you obediently go to Yuanqu City, you will not kill anyone, everyone will naturally not fight with the Qin army.

As a result, within a radius of 100 miles from Yuanqu City, almost all the tribes dragged their families to Yuanqu City, and the Qin army was far behind, daring to run back, and what greeted them was a fatal knife!

Blood is always more convincing than reason.

After getting the lesson of blood, no one dared to take chances anymore and honestly run to Yuanqu City, but fortunately, as long as they ran to Yuanqu City, it would be safe.

When dozens or hundreds of people arrived at the city of Yuanqu, the city didn't realize what was happening, but when the follow-up people piled up under the city gate one by one, Uncle Long and his ministers finally realized the seriousness of the problem!

Once this group of people enters the city, it will cause a great burden on the material supply of the city.

But the Qin army was eyeing the back, and retreating was a dead end.

So the question is, on the premise that the Qin army cannot take the opportunity to attack the city, as the king of the Yanqi Kingdom, should he watch this group of people die of thirst and starvation under the city gate, or let them in?

The shortcomings of the small state were completely exposed at this time.

The soldiers defending the city, who does not have a few relatives and six relatives, who does not have a parent and family?

If you ask them to use knives against these people outside the city and forcibly drive them away, then you have to ask them if they will just reverse the knife and start a riot......

Although they already knew that this was a conspiracy of the enemy, they also had to grit their teeth and let people into the city.

However, it's like opening Pandora's box.

With the first batch, then there is a second batch, and with the second batch, then there is a third batch, and if you let the front ones in, you have to let the back ones in.

As a result, in just three days, the number of residents in Yuanqu City tripled!

What's even more terrifying is that this group of people not only has no place to live, they don't have anything to eat, when Liu Dating Chang drove them away, he calculated the accounts clearly, the food is definitely enough for you to maintain until you go to the city, no matter how much, you don't have to think about it!

We have worked hard to escort everyone to the national capital, don't we need to pay for it?

Therefore, after holding out for less than five days, Long Li Pona and Long Tuzhi couldn't stand it, and had to go out of the city to take the initiative to seek battle, attack and defend, and transfer instantly.

accurately fell into the hands of Chief Liu Dating, who was waiting for work.

In this era, the Qin army was at the peak of bronze weapons, and these small countries in the Western Regions had some difficulty even equipping them with a decent scimitar, and the superiority of the cavalry was neutralized, and the combat effectiveness was not at the same level at all.

What's more, Liu Bang and Lu Juan, even if they are not proficient in the art of war, they are also people who have been mixed with top generals like Zhao Ying, Han Xin and Zhang Han for a while.

Haven't eaten pork, haven't seen a pig run?

Therefore, the Yanqi army that left the city was almost crushed at the touch of a button.

Long Su Pona was so frightened that she hurriedly ordered her generals to close the city gates, and made up her mind that she couldn't hold out, and she couldn't even care about the soldiers who fled back in a hurry.

Although the Qin army was prevented from taking the opportunity to attack the city, the atmosphere in the city was completely thrown to the bottom.

Liu Bang and Lu Juan were not in a hurry to attack the city, and while camping outside in a step-by-step manner, they asked the little prince of Loulan to lead some of the Loulan warriors and Cheshi soldiers who could speak Yanqi to shout to the city.

The content is simple and crude.

After the city is broken, only the first evil will be punished, except for the royal family, the rest of the kings have not committed any crimes, and all the fields and official positions are the same! The one who kills the king Long Su Po Na is the first merit, and there are many rewards!

"Big brother, do you think it will be useful for us to let people shout like this?"

Lu Xuan

"It doesn't matter if he's useful or not, anyway, shouting, we have nothing to lose, what if it's useful - Lao Tzu doesn't want to drink the northwest wind outside the city anymore......"

That night, the atmosphere in the city was a little weird.

Long Su Po Na also realized that something was wrong, and the turtle cowered in the palace and refused to go out, but there was no use for birds, and when everyone realized that the Qin army was invincible, everyone wisely chose to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and abandoned Long Su Po Na, who wanted to fight against Great Qin.

The next day, the Marquis of Yanqi Fu and the lord of the city led his troops to break through the palace and beheaded the entire family of Long Su Po Na Manmen and Long Tu Zhi.

Open the city gate, hold their heads, and welcome the Qin army in!

Liu Bang waved his hand and rewarded him for his meritorious deeds.

He was not stingy with these nobles of the Yanqi Kingdom who surrendered to Cheng, rewarded them for their merits, and divided the tribal properties of the two families, Long Su Po Na and Long Tu Zhi.

The former marquis of the Qifu country and the lord of the city guard can be said to have eaten with a mouthful of oil, and the rest of the people also drank a mouthful of thick soup.

Not only that, but Admiral Liu Da, who has always been generous and righteous, also opened the treasury and distributed the return travel expenses and food to all the people of Yanqi who were driven here!

And promised to be exempt from paying taxes for one year.

Anyway, even if you collect it, it's not much, and even if it's more, it's not much for yourself. Spending other people's money, he didn't feel distressed at all.

Therefore, except for a few unlucky ghosts who wanted to resist at the beginning, everyone calculated, not only did they not suffer any losses on this trip, but they also seemed to have made ......

All the soldiers who followed him, whether they were Loulan, Yanqi, or the elite of Great Qin, everyone was rewarded, and it was worth several years of hard work.

So, everyone rejoiced!

Admiral Liu's reputation for benevolence spread completely, but after such a toss, everyone completely believed in Daqin's goodwill.

I don't know if it's crooked.

As for those gold, silver and jewelry, the beauties, Liu Dating and Lu Xuan, they laughed unceremoniously. Otherwise, what is Lao Tzu doing so far and wide?

Did you eat and run away?

After Liu Bang sat down and poured himself a cup of herbal tea, Lu Juan asked.

"Big brother, what should we do next, is it to continue west, to Qiuzi?"

Liu Bang shook his head.

"Don't worry, wait a minute......"

Liu Bang pillowed his head in the arms of a beautiful woman from the Western Regions, and said lazily while enjoying the gentle and slow twisting massage of the beauty.

"Wait for the will of the imperial court—"

Lu Juan: ......

Although he didn't understand why the eldest brother suddenly stopped, his advantage was that if he couldn't figure it out, he didn't want to, anyway, there was a big brother.

originally thought that Admiral Liu Da, who would leave soon, stayed like this and became the uncrowned king of Yanqi.

Moreover, he did what the king was supposed to do.

Let his soldiers re-explore the terrain, survey the map, register the officials, inventory the acres of land, and most importantly, he even began to organize manpower in an attempt to build a gallop road through Bailongdui to Dunhuang.

almost engraved the words Lao Tzu is not leaving on his forehead.

In addition to being busy with these things, he is collecting local specialties, especially the white stacks specially emphasized by the emperor's eldest grandson, and sending them to Xianyang one after another.

In this regard, those nobles and people in Yanqi Country felt that it didn't matter, and even felt a little happy. After all, people should be thrown away compared to others, compared to this envoy Liu, who has nothing to do except eat, drink and have fun, does not toss the people, and does not toss the officials, it turns out that Long Su Pona is simply dead!

But the surrounding small countries such as Yuli, Huhu, and Qiuzi really can't sit still.

After all, compared to the powerful Loulan, Cheshi, and Yanqi, their strength is not worth mentioning, and the most important thing is that they are really sincere, and they even wishfully fought against the Qin army with Yanqi at the beginning.

Who knows if Qin Jun will ask for guilt?

Qin Jun is sitting in Yanqi now, what does it mean?

Maybe you're giving yourself a chance to take the initiative to plead guilty!

You can't stop it, and you can't hide it, so instead of waiting for other soldiers to come to the city, it's better to take the initiative to surrender. Of course, Ambassador Liu's reputation for being benevolent and generous and not interfering in local affairs also played a large role.

Obviously, this is a noble man who is better to deal with than the Xiongnu and the Yue clan.

Surrender, surrender, surrender!

So, Chief Liu Dating, inexplicably accepted a few younger brothers, and he was a little confused, the credit of the Western Regions is so easy to catch-

However, it's a bastard to have credit and not earn it.

Surrender yes, okay, as long as you surrender, everyone is a good brother, what should you do, come to the surrender letter, report the household registration, come to a few messengers, go to Xianyang to see you.

In the future, as long as the tribute is paid on time, it will be finished.

As for asking everyone to transfer manpower to build a gallop road together, can it still be called a thing? After the road was built, everyone did not stop walking.

And the original nobles of these small countries in the Western Regions don't take this seriously, after all, they lack everything else, but they don't lack manpower, and no one has some slaves.

You only need to build a little food and contribute a few slaves to please Envoy Liu, so why not.

Every mountain opens a road and meets a water bridge, and the road is actually built like this.

"Big brother, are you really going to build a road between all countries?"

Lu Juan really couldn't help it.

I can't understand my eldest brother's operation.

Liu Bang waved his hand indifferently.

"Otherwise, what are we doing, and what reason do we have to stay? Besides, the road is repaired, and it's convenient for us to go......"

Lu Juan: ......

Just when Liu Bang was building roads in the Western Regions and was in full swing, the news that the imperial court rewarded him finally arrived.

"Fengtian carried the emperor, and the edict said: Since ancient times, the sages have ruled the country, relying on the wings of talents. Those who contribute to the country and are trusted by the people are the pillars of the country. Today, I inherit the mandate of heaven, and I have been in control of all directions for several years, and I am ...... all directions."

There were a lot of balabalas in front, and Liu Bang and Lu Juan didn't understand what was said.

But the rest is clear.

Liu Bang was promoted to the rank of Shao Shangzao, the general of Zhenyuan, and the governor of the Western Regions. Lu Juan also got the official position of Captain Fuyuan, and became a serious general.

Lu Wan was overjoyed.

When he turned around, he found that Liu Bang was a little depressed, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, and secretly poked Liu Bang's waist.

"Now that our brother has been promoted and made a fortune, this is a great thing that cannot be sought, why is the eldest brother depressed?"

Liu Bang threw the edict aside with some irritability and cursed.

"It's a good thing for fart, Lao Tzu is now famous, he has a beautiful wife and concubine, and he just wants to go back to Xianyang to have fun, but he can't go back to the place where he throws this bird and doesn't——"

Although the edict was good, Liu Bang also understood it, and the imperial court had no intention of letting the two of them go back.

The governor of the Western Regions is in charge of the big mess of the Western Regions.

The most deplorable thing is that there are still many small countries in the Western Regions, with high mountains and long roads, and treacherous turmoil, even west of Yanqi and Qiuci!

If you come back in a circle, I'm afraid it will be a few years later. When the time comes, maybe Lu Pheasant's girls will give birth to two or three children for themselves.

Thinking of this possibility, Liu Bang couldn't help but scold his mother.

is angry, and occasionally greets the eighteenth generation ancestors of His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson.

Of course, His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun didn't know at this time that Chief Liu was greeting his ancestors and ancestors, because he was happily gathered in front of several carriages, looking at the sturdy white stacks tied on them!

This Liu Bang really surprised himself!

Cotton!

He actually sent several truckloads of cotton to him from the Western Regions, and what made him even more overjoyed was that he even had people get a cart of cotton seeds!

These things, originally according to history, began to be introduced to China in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and in the Song and Yuan dynasties, they began to be introduced to the mainland in large quantities and widely planted.
