In early spring, unlike the spring breeze and the south bank of the Green River, Liaodong at this time is still covered with three feet of snow.

In the past, the Goryeo people who had lived in this land for generations would hide in the sealed dense houses, like monsters hibernating, avoiding the cold winter and waiting for the spring flowers to bloom.

And this year, most of them had to go out in the wind and snow, hunt in the ice and snow, and struggle to maintain the life of the family.

Because in this vast but barren land, there were more than 300,000 Qin troops than in previous years.

Originally, with the output of Liaodong, in addition to supporting the lords and nobles of Goryeo, ordinary people were still able to make a living.

Since the Qin army came and occupied this place, it was natural that the support of the Qin army was given priority, followed by the Goryeo nobles who had defected to the Qin army.

As for the ordinary people of Goryeo, who cares about their life or death except themselves?

It is still reluctant to raise the power of Liaodong to support the Qin army, how can there be spare strength to take care of them?

If it weren't for the entry into Liaodong, Yang Duanhe specially sent people to load all the materials for the northeast expedition to Liaofu, not to mention the Goryeo, even the 300,000 Qin troops would have to starve to death.

It's just that the materials brought by the Qin army have nothing to do with the Koreans.

Even Yang Duanhe, in order to encircle his subordinates and consolidate the position of the lord of the country, acquiesced in the Qin army to plunder the people of Goryeo.

The Qin army, which was not bound by military discipline, brought enough suffering to this land.

It's not that the Goryeo people haven't thought about resisting, but the difference in strength is huge, and those who dare to resist have all become a ghost to warn the Goryeo people who are still breathing.

Today, the snow was falling, and a horse-drawn carriage came from the south and traveled from Liao Province to Goryeo.

Many Goryeo people, who were struggling between the mountains and forests, saw this carriage appear in front of them, and their hearts couldn't help but be attracted to it.

Someone was surprised to find that the carriage seemed to be walking slowly, but it inadvertently disappeared away and disappeared.

When the carriage disappeared, the people of Goryeo who saw this scene had a feeling of loss.

Someone had an "epiphany", regardless of the cold snow, knelt on the ground, showed a fanatical face, and shouted: "It is the gods, the gods have come down to save us." ”

In the carriage, a young Confucian in plain clothes and a jade-like face seemed to feel something, frowned slightly, sighed and said: "Demons are rampant, and it is the good people who suffer after all. ”

In the carriage, Zhang Liang, who was sitting opposite the young Confucian student, smiled when he heard this: "Why should Yan Sheng sigh, you and I are here, and by the way, we can save this group of people, shouldn't we be happy because of this?"

The young Confucian scholar, known as "Yan Sheng", glanced at Zhang Liang meaningfully and asked, "How far is this place from Pyongyang?"

Zhang Liang lifted the curtain to shield him from the wind and snow, glanced out of the carriage, thought for a moment, and replied: "Yuyan Sheng, about three hundred miles." ”

When the young Confucian scholar "Yan Sheng" heard this, he said: "I have also seen how the situation in Liaodong is, since it is not far away, then speed up and arrive in Pyongyang as soon as possible, and these innocent people will be liberated as soon as possible." ”

As soon as the words fell, the entire carriage, connecting the horses and the carriage, quickly floated into the air, turned into a streamer, and disappeared.

......

A moment later, the carriage landed in front of a 10-zhang fortress with two ancient seals engraved with the words "Pyongyang".

"Yan Sheng, wait a minute, go down to call the door," Zhang Liang said to the young Confucian student, lifted the curtain of the carriage, jumped out of the carriage, forged ahead with all his might, and shouted loudly: "The Confucian Yan Hui sage has arrived, please Yang Duan and the lord of the country come out to greet him." ”

In Pyongyang City, in the Goryeo Palace, Yang Duanhe, who was playing with his concubines, suddenly became excited.

Confucian sages?

As soon as these four words appeared in Yang Duanhe's mind, his face changed, he pushed the concubine away, picked up the coat sewn from sable fur and draped it on his body, and hurried to the city gate with a team of guards.

The first thing that caught Yang Duanhe's eyes was Zhang Liang standing in front of the carriage.

Feeling the almost undisguised grandmaster realm aura on Zhang Liang's body, Yang Duanhe's expression was awe-inspiring, and he was faintly frightened.

Zhang Liang also saw Yang Duanhe who appeared on the city wall, and said loudly: "Your Excellency is Yang Duanhe and the lord of the country?

Yang Duanhe suddenly looked uncertain when he heard this, and his face hesitated.

At this time, a left hand like jade stretched out from the carriage, lifted the door curtain, and a figure slowly appeared in front of the carriage.

Yang Duanhe's head buzzed, and he was in a trance for a while, only to feel that the entire heaven and earth were full of Yan Hui.

Yan Hui's gentle voice echoed in the heavens and the earth: "Is it Yang Duan and the lord of the country?"

Yang Duanhe came to his senses and hurriedly saluted: "Yes, yes, yes." It was Yang Duanhe below, and Yang Duanhe met Yan Hui Sage. ”

"Come on, quickly open the city gates and welcome the sages back into the city. ”

While instructing his subordinates to open the city gate, Yang Duanhe quickly ran down the city wall, stood at the city gate, and stretched out his hand to signal: "It's cold outside, please follow the sages into the city and enter the palace to avoid the wind and cold." ”

Under the guidance of Yang Duanhe himself, the carriage entered the city of Pyongyang and entered the palace of Goryeo.

......

Yang Duanhe personally brought a cup of hot tea to Yan Hui, and said respectfully: "I don't know when the sage came, when did he do it?"

Yan glanced back at Zhang Liang, who understood, and coughed lightly: "Don't hide it from the lord of the country, Yan Hui Sage and I came here today to invite you to fight against Qin together." ”

Yang Duanhe glanced at Zhang Liang in surprise and asked, "How can you do it together?"

Zhang Liang said with a straight face: "Qin has lost his virtue, and the people have long been unbearable, and now there is my lord Liu Ji, who was born in response to the mandate of heaven, with the help of Confucianism, and conforms to the mandate of heaven to oppose Qin." ”

"My lord heard that the lord of the country was dissatisfied with the tyranny of the monarch and ministers of the Qin State, and acted perversely, so he ordered the lord of the country to discuss the great cause of destroying Qin. ”

Yang Duanhe did not respond, but looked at Yan Hui, but saw that Yan Hui was looking at Zhang Liang and signaled that Zhang Liang was the main one.

Seeing this, Zhang Liang wanted to further persuade: "The lord of the country knows that Emperor Qin has advanced to the realm of heaven and man......"

Yang Duanhe immediately interrupted: "Needless to say, I can promise you." ”

Zhang Liang was a little distracted when he heard this, and he agreed so quickly?

When he knew that Yan Hui was coming with him, Zhang Liang knew that this trip was safe.

However, in his imagination, to persuade Yang Duanhe, he had to coerce and lure, and he tried his best to do so, but he didn't expect it to be so easy.

This thought just flashed through Zhang Liang's mind, but he heard Yang Duanhe say again: "But I have a few conditions. ”

Zhang Liang chuckled: "I want to hear about it." ”

Yang Duanhe's face was calm and said: "Your Excellency and Confucianism are here, and what you must value is not the bottom, but the hundreds of thousands of troops. ”

"There is no problem with handing over the army to you, and I dare to ask Yan Sheng to swear to the sky and treat them well. ”

Zhang Lianggang wanted to refuse, but Yan Hui replied indifferently: "Yes." ”

Yang Duanhe bowed and bowed to Yan Hui: "Thank you Yan Sheng for your understanding." ”

Yan Hui stood still and did not react.

Embarrassed, Zhang Liang stepped forward and asked, "Does the lord have any other conditions?"

Yang Duanhe said in a deep voice: "The other two are private requests. ”

"First, if you return to obedience below, please ask Confucianism to spend a little price to help you promote to the realm of grandmasters. ”

"Second, after returning to obedience, whether it is for the sake of the subordinate or for the sake of your lord, I don't want to continue to lead the troops, and ask your lord to give me glory and wealth and enjoy the rest of my life. ”

Zhang Liang thought for a while and replied: "The second condition is that you can promise the lord of the country now, and the first condition is not guaranteed in the future." ”

Yang Duanhe was expressionless when he heard this, and there was no joy or anger on his face.

Yan Hui, who was sitting on the side, suddenly pointed at Yang Duan and his forehead.

Yang Duanhe only felt a bang, a wisp of divine thought was born in his mind, and his body underwent an indescribable transformation at will.

From today on, the Grandmaster realm will be completed.

Closing his eyes and slightly consolidating the new realm, Yang Duanhe, who was full of ecstasy, knelt on one knee and said loudly: "Bow down to thank Yan Sheng." ”

Yan Hui's indifferent voice sounded: "Lead the army south as soon as possible, God has the virtue of a good life, don't forget to allocate some supplies and send them to those innocent Goryeo people." ”

As soon as the words fell, Yan Hui's whole person disappeared.

......

In the spring of the sixth year of Qin II, 300,000 Qin troops changed their armor and changed their flags.
