Could it be that the First Emperor alone exhausted the luck that Great Qin had accumulated for hundreds of years?

Zhao Ying shook his head and threw this thought behind him. No matter what untold stories are buried in the original history, it is no longer important, the important thing is to create a new history as much as possible.

Only by changing history can we change our own destiny.

……

Meanwhile.

On the grassland of Mobei, Xiang Yu sat on his black horse, holding a halberd in his hand, and glanced at the growing team behind him. After raiding three small and medium-sized tribes in a row, his strength has expanded to more than 3,000 people.

These 3,000 people are all tall and strong, good at riding and shooting, and none of them are weak and old.

Xiang Yu didn't speak, and there was no sound below, only the occasional snort of the horse and the restless commotion of the horse's hooves.

Soon, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the distance, and several sturdy men wearing leather coats and hats common to the Huns, with a large belt around their waists, galloped over, walked to him, and reined in the reins of the horses.

It was the Scout Commander and a few of his elites.

"General Qiyu, fifteen miles ahead, is the Yantu bone, there are about 3,000 people-"

Xiang Yu nodded slightly.

The Huns lived in a harsh environment, almost all of them grew up on horseback, riding horses and archery, not a profession, nor a skill, but an instinct for survival.

When the life and death of the tribe are in danger, not to mention women, from the drooping old man to the drooping young children of seven or eight years old, they are all warriors who can jump on horseback and bite the enemy.

Of course, this kind of drama of mutual annexation between tribes on the grassland rarely goes to the point of tragedy in the end.

This is also a kind of survival wisdom.

Everyone surrenders and surrenders, and over time, they become accustomed to it. The ancestors have been like this for generations, and if they had to talk about any blood, the tribe would have died a long time ago.

However, this does not mean that they are not brave in battle, on the contrary, they have developed the courage and determination to defend their tribe without fear of death under extremely difficult conditions.

Although Xiang Yu is brave, he is not willing to make senseless sacrifices, and before each battle, he must let people investigate the terrain and understand the enemy's situation.

He looked up at the sky.

At this time, the sunset is slanting, the sky is full of colorful clouds, and on the grass near and far, a faint afterglow is sprinkled, and it is already time for the grassland herdsmen to cook on the fire and return to the horses.

At this time, it is the time when people are most relaxed physically and mentally.

Immediately ordered in a deep voice.

"The whole army will attack, break the enemy and eat!"

After speaking, he flicked the reins, turned the horse's head, raised the halberd, and rode out.

Three thousand men and horses, behind him, gradually formed a formation like a sharp knife, an indomitable, invincible momentum unconsciously boiling in everyone's hearts. staring at Xiang Yu, who was taking the lead in front of him, his gaze gradually became firm.

Within a month, Xiang Yu used his courage and bravery to build a fanatical belief in this army.

Even the disciples who supported him couldn't help but have a shiny look in their eyes.

This is the existence he has ever seen, second only to His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun, brave, resolute, invincible, and indomitable!

Really a natural commander.

"No wonder His Highness thinks so highly of ......"

He subconsciously clenched the scimitar in his hand, and looked at the camp in front of him that was gradually clear, and his eyes gradually sharpened. This is the opportunity of this general, and it is not an opportunity for him to make contributions.

Fame is taken only right away.

……

Yuanqu City.

Liu Ji split his two hairy thighs, and let the two blonde, blue-eyed, plump, and snow-white maids wash their feet for themselves, with a pleasant look on their faces from time to time.

"Big brother—"

Lu Juan pushed the door in, and he was already surprised by the scene in front of him.

"Big brother is really enjoyable......"

Lu Juan said, pulled a stool by himself, sat down on the side, and then grabbed the dried fruits on the side of the case, and stuffed a few handfuls into his mouth indiscriminately.

"Big brother, the galloping road you let you stare at is not easy to repair-many places are full of stones, and the craftsmen of those Hu people are clumsy and clumsy, even inferior to Zhang Dagou in our village-just this, they even boast that they have the best craftsmanship in the ten miles and eight towns around here......"

From Dunhuang, through Bailongdui, arrived at the gallop road of Yanqi, one day is not good, the strength of Daqin can not enter one day, he Liu Bang is ready not to leave the dangerous terrain of Yuanqu City for a day.

The Hu people are vulgar and short-sighted, and further west, they may not have heard of the divine power of His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun, and even if they have heard of it, they may not have the psychology of luck.

After all, before this, although the forces of the Central Plains had ties to this land, their influence was extremely limited.

In addition, the rogue is rampant, in case you fall into someone else's trap, you can't find a place to cry!

I came to the Western Regions to get credit, not to die.

Therefore, during this time, he has been in Yuanqu City, eating, drinking, and exchanging feelings with the envoys of the Western Regions who came to visit, all kinds of princes and grandsons.

And Lu Juan was entrusted with the important task by him to personally keep an eye on the progress of the gallop.

"If it were, it would be nice to have our craftsmen from Daqin, maybe we could repair this gallop a few days earlier......"

Lu Juan scolded and complained about the clumsiness of this group of people from the Western Regions, and Liu Bang raised his foot and rubbed the water stains in the soft arms of the two maids by the way.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he sent the two out.

It doesn't matter.

"Don't worry, if you're tired, just rest in this canal city for a few days before going out, it just so happens that Qiuzi sent a few more beauties, and when you turn around, take two of them back......"

"Big brother, righteousness!"

Lu Juan instantly felt exhausted.

While the two of them were talking, they suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside.

"General Qiyu, there is an edict in the court—"

The two of them suddenly cheered up, and even Liu Bang put down the trouser leg he was holding, deliberately tidied up the crown belt on his head, and walked out majestically with his hands behind his back.

I don't know, I definitely can't imagine what this guy who looks extraordinary is talking about in there just now.

This edict is more economical than the last time.

In addition to the routine rewards, rewarding some cloth and goods, and cherishing fine wine, it is to give away. With hundreds of Great Qin craftsmen mobilized from Hexi County, Liu Bang realized the importance of building a gallop road between Yanqi and Dunhuang, not to mention the imperial court.

Therefore, after Liu Bang's recital was handed over, the imperial court soon gave an approval.

Zhao Ying did not hesitate to dispatch hundreds of skilled craftsmen in Hexi to assist Liu Bang in completing this important task. For this road, Zhao Ying naturally knew that in his previous life, he even walked through it once, but at that time, he could only listen to the tour guide talk about how rugged and difficult this road used to be, through the surrounding terrain, imagine the difficulty of the road back then, and the difficulty of the predecessors to open the mountain and split the rocks.

I also understand that if you want to open mountains and split rocks and build galloping roads in places like the Western Regions, the most convenient and efficient thing is to concoct gunpowder. No matter what kind of impact gunpowder has brought to human beings after the emergence of gunpowder, and how much merit and demerit it it has, at least in this aspect, it really provides great convenience.

He didn't shy away from that, and he didn't skimp on coming up with the formula for gunpowder.

But this kind of thing, for this era, is too rebellious, the first emperor is still there, he doesn't want to take out this kind of thing, cause some unnecessary changes.

When a person can have the power to open mountains and split rocks, destroy cities and destroy villages, far beyond the power of this era, it is difficult for you to predict the thoughts in people's hearts.

Especially since this man is still the supreme emperor.

Even if this person is a father who trusts and cares for himself, and even faintly cultivates himself as an heir.

Therefore, if the group of warlocks can find explosives, he will take advantage of the situation and improve it, and if not, he will not force it out with his own cleverness.

As for some of the possible risks, he would rather be slower with this project, just so that Liu Ji and this dog can stay in the Western Regions for a little longer, so as not to return to the Central Plains, cause some unnecessary butterfly effects, and forcibly bring history back to its original track.

"Big brother is amazing, it's only been a few days, I didn't expect your title to be upgraded by one level, according to this posture, when I go back, I'm afraid that my eldest brother won't be a ...... of Guannei."

Although Liu Bang pretended to be very calm on his face, he still subconsciously straightened his waist.

When I go back this time, I must let Ah Weng and the second brother take a look at who can earn more money from the family business, Liu Ji and him!

……

With the addition of these hundreds of experienced Daqin craftsmen, the progress of the construction of the entire Chidao was suddenly accelerated a lot, and Loulan and the charioteers, who had decided to take refuge in Daqin, began to follow Liu Bang's actions and sent people to build a direct road to Dunhuang.

But as for progress, it's pretty little.

In Liu Bang's view, the kings of these two small countries are purely courting and selling their ways, wanting to show loyalty to Great Qin and the emperor's eldest grandson, as for building roads, not to mention whether they have that strength or not, even if they do, they may not really have that mind.

What are you doing?

Can't think about it, want to put a sharp blade on your head that may fall at any time?

However, because of his own sake, Qiuzi, Wei Su, and even the envoy of Gumo, who is far away from Qiuzi, have a much better attitude, especially Qiuzi, who has begun to intentionally take the initiative to surrender, which makes Liu Bang feel very good.

But this good mood didn't last long, and he keenly noticed that the attitude of Qiuzi and Gumo's envoy began to become ambiguous, and even the attitude of the imminent danger was a little less enthusiastic.

He realized in an instant that something was wrong.

On the one hand, he continued to make false agreements with these people, and on the other hand, he sent a scout composed entirely of the elite of the Qin army to investigate the situation.

Soon the message came back.

A tribe called Wusun, which is entrenched in the Ili River, has also sent envoys in the past few days and stationed in the capitals of Qiuci and Gumo.

Although Great Qin is strong, it is thousands of miles away, but the powerful force of Wusun is close at hand, and the front of the army is within reach, which makes their original move to join Great Qin have to be forcibly suspended.

For Wusun, the Western Regions today is the best Western Regions, and he doesn't want to see a powerful empire around him, especially one with a strong desire to attack.

Realizing this, Liu Ji knew that his big trouble was really coming.

Taking the Western Regions is naturally a great achievement, but if you lose the Western Regions that you have already taken......

That's not a wasted effort.

"His mother!"

Liu Ji was so angry that he kicked over several cases in front of him.

"This is simply the unhappiness of the old man—"

He has the confidence to bully and bully these small countries in the Western Regions, but his own family knows his own affairs, and in the face of Wusun, whose strength is far beyond his own, he has no confidence in winning more with less, and winning in battle.

This is obviously not my specialty-

Therefore, this goods are so worried, these days even those delicate little ladies in the Western Regions can't take pity on them, on the one hand, they continue to feast guests, pretending to know nothing, on the other hand, they find an excuse and secretly transfer back their good brother Lu Juan.

Although this thing is not a master who can fight, he is an old brother and worthy of trust.

He was worried that the situation would change, and even the nobles who had already belonged to him, such as the Cheshi and Yanqi, had any other thoughts, and if they were betrayed, it would be bad luck.

"Big brother, if you want me to say, it's better for me to take people and go directly to Qiuzi and Gumo to cut down the envoys on Wusun's side - when the time comes, these people will have no way out, even if they don't want to join us, it is estimated that there is nothing they can do......"

Speaking of this, Lu Juan rubbed his fists with some excitement.

"According to the emperor's eldest grandson, what is this called......

"Draw the bottom of the kettle—"

Liu Bang added with interest.

Lu Xuan didn't notice that his eldest brother's interest was low, and he was immersed in the whimsy just now, complacent about his wit.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's just the bottom of the kettle, or the big brother is powerful-"

After Lu Juan finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at Liu Bang expectantly.

"Big brother, what do you think of this idea......

Liu Bangqi squinted his eyes and looked at him for a long time, until he saw that this thing was about to lose a little weakness in his heart, and then nodded playfully.

"Yes, good idea - you can go with confidence, your mother-in-law of Xinna, Lao Tzu will take good care of you, and if you have a child in the future, you can also consider giving you a ......"

Lu Juan: ......

The look of excitement in his eyes faded away.

Grabbed the herbal tea on the table and poured it hard, then sat down with a stupid expression.

"Big brother, do you think it's unreliable?"

Liu Bang scolded angrily.

"You don't want to live, don't pull Lao Tzu! Just us-ahem, just your two boys, fighting with the splashes on the street, you have to ask Lao Tzu to help beat the sticks in the back, can you rush to the side of the Wusun envoy and kill the messenger of the other family? ”

Lu Wan immediately wilted.

He expected everything, but he didn't expect that he didn't have that strength at all.

There are too many people, don't say whether Wusun's side will be alert, even if they are Qiuzi and Gumo's side, they won't sit idly by, and let you cut down Wusun's messenger.

As for the lack of people—

Then it's time to deliver the food properly.

Do you really think that everyone is a fierce person like His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun?
