Emperor Qin

Chapter 177 Mutation

Lu Zhi stayed in Xianyang, and this young girl became Yan Zi's assistant. She changed into women's clothing generously and entered the Xianyang Academy.

Her appearance made the academy a little uneasy for a while. Most of the people who can study abroad in this era are men. This sudden appearance of a girl makes many people ready to move. After all, she is a disciple of Yan Zi. above the hall.

But Lu Zhi is indifferent and polite, and never has contact with people outside of academics. Occasionally, when someone molested her, she just ignored it and remained unmoved.

She would record what she heard and understood every day, and after thinking about it, she would sum up what she didn't understand the next day and ask Yan Zi for advice.

Yan Jiang didn't think about hiding his secrets either. He told her everything he could explain, and let her figure out what he couldn't explain. Occasionally, when someone was looking for him and couldn't leave him, he let this girl be the microphone and spread the word in various departments in Xianyang. back and forth.

Miss Lv works hard and is careful and accurate in doing things, which makes Yan Jiang very satisfied.

What surprised Yan Jiang even more was that Lu Zhi found a business opportunity after spending some time in the school. She asked Xiangliyun to make the previous loom, and asked Yun Xiaohe from Zhang Cangxiangli to open a loom. Spinning room, inviting women around him to work in his spinning room.

Lu Zhi analyzed this clearly and thoroughly: "Although there are subsidies in the academy, there are many poor scholars, and many of them live with their families. It is better to use them than to leave them idle."

Those scholars have no land to grow, and Xianyang's consumption is not low. One person is poor enough to eat soil for the whole family. She is doing a good deed.

The result was as she had expected, among those who were willing to join the weavers, there was no need to worry about sales.

Zhang Cang is very interested in this junior sister, and often seeks out her for discussions, and Xiang Limo also takes good care of her.

Seeing her gradually settle down, Yan Jiang felt relieved, and pulled his mind away, thinking whether it is better to go north or south.

There is nothing interesting in the land of the Huns in the north. The wild horses of the prairie were quite enough to see in Arshak.

In the south, there are still huge regions such as Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guangdong and Guangxi that have not been visited.

But these places are far away, and the mountains are high, the rivers are far away and the forests are dense, Ah Zheng will definitely be dissatisfied.

But recently, it's all about local government affairs, which is super boring.

Yan Jiang drank a cup of soy milk and felt that it was weak, so he added a little brown sugar.

But the brown sugar has a peculiar smell, which destroys the original mellowness of the soy milk, which makes him frown a little, so he plans to go back and try filtering to get some white sugar out.

Just as he was thinking about where to go, an urgent military message was sent to King Qin who was next to him.

King Qin just glanced at it, then suddenly patted it on the table.

The voice was so loud that Hua Hua suddenly sat up in shock.

Yan Jiang frowned slightly, and picked up the letter.

This is an urgent military situation in Jiuyuan County. Touman Shanyu of the Xiongnu saw that the land was empty, and brought an army of [-] south to attack the old land of Zhao State south of Yinshan Mountain.

"Some troubles." Yan Jiang thought for a while, and sat next to Ah Zheng, "This is a reasonable thing, calm down."

"If you send troops..." It was the first time King Qin was provoked like this, he suppressed his anger and said, "If you lose it in the clouds, it will be very difficult to get it back."

Jiuyuan and Yunzhong are the two exits of the Great Wall of Zhao. If they are lost, if they want to take it down again, it will not be possible to quell it with tens of thousands of people. It will definitely require hundreds of thousands of troops. However, the land outside the Great Wall is not so easy to go up.

The farther the march, the greater the cost. The reason why the six countries in the Guanzhong can conscript 30 million troops at any time is because supplies are easy, the waterways are developed, and the war cycle is short, but the use of troops outside the Guanzhong is very different.

There are not many fields in Yunzhong Jiuyuan. Even if there is a tea-horse road, the logistics line from the north to the Xiongnu is too long, and the mountains are high and the water is far away. The loss ratio from Xianyang to there is a terrifying two hundred to one. The number of people fighting on the borders of the Ming and Qing Dynasties in later generations is generally 20 to [-], which is also the reason-it is too costly to support the army to invade the grassland.

Moreover, the attack on Qi is imminent, and Qin has no time or money to take back the land of Hetao, so it can only suffer this boring loss alive.

"But it's too late now." Yan Jiang sighed, "Ten months ago, you gathered your troops to Qidi."

It will take at least two months to recruit troops from Guanzhong immediately, and it will take at least two months to arrive in Jiuyuan County.

Qin Wangzheng understood all of this, but just because he understood, he was even more angry.

This kind of thing that needs to be endured makes him extremely intolerable now.

Yan Jiang comforted: "Why should Ah Zheng be impatient, you are rich in all the people in the world, and you are just a mere Hun. After the matter of Qidi is over, it will not be too late to clean up slowly."

The King of Qin nodded, his eyes were serious: "Since that's the case, don't wait for Qi to be in chaos, just do what should be done."

At the end of the 16th year of Qin Wangzheng, Qin Wang mobilized 20 troops in Dangjun, Dongjun, Julu, and Yandai near Qi State, led by Meng Tian, ​​and marched towards Qi State.

With this 20 army, even if King Qi is a fool, he knows that this is not here to rescue soldiers.

Soldiers and horses were recruited around Qi State, and Meng Tian himself took a hundred soldiers and horses and went straight to Lingqiu on the border of Qi State where the soldiers gathered.

When the army was dispatched, the young heroes, the monarch and his ministers, and the King of Qin personally became the teacher. It was really a youthful success.

When the novice was on his way, Li Xin watched him lead the troops away, with melancholy eyes, like a watchdog.

His heart was in pain, if it wasn't for his great defeat in attacking Chu, the person who led the army to destroy Qi should have been his.

"Do you really want to fight that much?" Yan Jiang slapped him from behind.

Li Xin looked depressed and sad: "Your Majesty granted Wang Ben Tong Wuhou this time, and gave him countless fields and houses. I have been looking forward to this expedition for a long time, but actually... ah."

He finally let out a long sigh. Wang Ben and Wang Jian's father and son wiped out the four kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, Yan, and Chu in succession. This opportunity has been repeatedly called for battle these days, but the king finally no longer uses him.

He actually thought about asking Yan Jiang for help, but after hesitating for a long time, he still gave up. After all, this kind of thing could easily arouse the king's suspicion of Brother Jiang.

But when he thought of the destruction of the Qi Kingdom and the disappearance of the Six Kingdoms, he would have no room to use his skills, and he felt as if he was about to suffocate.

"Actually, in terms of military achievements in the future, it is not without." Yan Jiang couldn't stand it anymore and gave him a shot in the arm.

"Huh?" Li Xin opened his eyes wide, his eyes sparkling, "If you have any news, tell me quickly."

"Two days ago, the king received news," Yan Jiang said calmly, "The Xiongnu went south and occupied the land of Yunzhong and Yanmen."

Li Xin almost exclaimed: "Is this really the case?"

Yan Jiang nodded, the Earthquake shook, and Yanmen in Yunzhong also suffered huge losses. Most of the defenders there supported themselves, so the Xiongnu took the opportunity to seize Hetao, which is also the Hetao Plain where the uppermost horizontal line of the Yellow River is located.

When King Qin knew about this, his entire face was so dark that water almost dripped down.

"Then, what does your Majesty want?" Li Xin asked in a low voice, "Can you tell me?"

"Come with me." Yan Jiang whispered.

Li Xin immediately followed, his whole body was excited.

……

In the Xianyang Palace, Yan Jiang sat in front of the case, pointed to the map he had drawn, and talked to Li Xin and King Qin beside him: "The herdsmen live by chasing water and grass. In the eyes of the people of the Central Plains, Han and Han, they live without living. Dingsuo, in fact, it is not, the diversion of rivers in the grassland, and the land with lush pastures, in fact, have a large position, as long as you don't get lost on it, you can win the battle."

He pointed to a few pastures on the map, analyzed the possible migration routes of the main force of the various tribes, and then proposed to go and see for himself.

Hearing this, Qin Wangzheng stared at him for a long time, Yan Jiang smiled back, and his eyes met, as if there were sparks flying.

Li Xin almost shrank into a corner, trying to hide himself.

Finally, Qin Wang said calmly: "Since you recommend Li Xin, teach him your knowledge of star observation and road measurement first, and then it will not be too late."

Yan Jiang looked at Li Xin, thinking that the lost gene of his descendant Li Guang might be inherited from his ancestors, so he nodded: "Yes."

Li Xin had already lost once. If he got lost in the grassland a few times like his grandson Li Guang, he might be dragged to build the Great Wall.

Be careful.

King Qin dismissed Li Xin calmly and stared at A Jiang.

"Ah Zheng~ You're so kind." Yan Jiang sat beside him and gently bit the tip of his ear.

A gleam flashed in King Qin's eyes, and he hummed softly, "That's natural."

Hua Hua looked at the two two-legged beasts sticking together and hugging each other again, lay down boredly, and flicked their tails.

It is a middle-aged tiger and needs to learn how to play by itself.

Then Yan Jiang found himself trapped.

"How many times have I said that the altitude angle is brought into the formula, and there are Pythagorean calculations..." Yan Jiang felt that his head was going to be bald. Why couldn't Li Xin learn such a simple thing?

Li Xin is also very bitter. Yan Zi's principle is really too profound. Not only must he understand arithmetic, he must also be able to draw pictures, and he must also know how to count Pythagorean shares. This is simply not something humans can do.

In this way, unqualified teachers hurt each other with unqualified students, and they failed to teach for a whole winter.

Yan Jiang could only float back to the court with a haggard look, and returned to King Qin's side like a ghost.

The king of Qin was smiling, but he didn't see the majesty of the king at all. He put down the memorial book tenderly and considerately, and stepped forward to hold A Jiang's paw: "Are you tired?"

Yan Jiang felt aggrieved: "Why can't he know such a simple thing? Should I start teaching addition, subtraction, multiplication and division?"

"There are fools in this world, and sages hope," King Qin gently comforted, "A Jiang, don't be in a hurry."

Yan Jiang nodded slightly: "That's right, it's rare to see someone as intelligent as you in the world, maybe I'm too demanding."

The king of Qin looked helpless, only regretting for him.

But if Li Xiaoxin can't learn it, he can't go out!

Yan Jiang tentatively said, "Ah Zheng~"

King Qin nodded in response to him.

Yan Jiang softly whispered in his ear: "Since he can't learn it, it's better to find a smart person to teach him. Anyway, the guide doesn't necessarily insist on a general~ Are you right, Ah Zheng~"

With a lingering and sweet voice, he hooked Wang's neck and squeezed his shoulders and neck with an ambiguous force.

Qin Wang's eyes were dark, but he said calmly: "This statement is reasonable, since this Li Xin is so unbearable, when it's time for the state of Qi, I will learn from Meng Tian instead."

Yan Jiang froze his fingers, struggled for a few breaths, let go, and finally sighed: "Forget it, I'll teach him again."

Everything was expected, King Qin was about to embrace A Jiang tenderly, when A Jiang got up calmly and went to the side to prepare the exam questions for Li Xin, as if he wasn't the one who was lingering in love just now.

The King of Qin was silent for a moment, picked up the book, and settled down to focus on state affairs.

And remember, tell him to admit his mistake and beg for mercy at night.
