Chapter 688: The King of Zhao Is Really a Son Who Sells His Father's Land without Any Regret! He Kidnapped Two Great Countries with His Own Strength!

January 22, the 14th year of the Qin Dynasty.

Daqin, Chang'an Township.

Ying Zheng and Ying Chengyu were walking in the fields on the north side of Chang'an Township, looking at the farmers who were pouring fertilizer on the fields, with heartfelt smiles on their faces.

Ying Chengxuan said with some pride: "The soil quality in Chang'an Township, Lantian County, Du County, Qixian and other areas surrounding Xianyang City is similar."

"So I plan to start treating the fields with golden juice this year."

"Coupled with the benefits of the Chang'an plow and Zhengguo canal, I think Qianshou around Chang'an Township will have a good harvest this year."

"As the scope of research and judgment becomes wider and wider, more and more people in Guizhou will enjoy the benefits of golden juice for treating excrement."

"As long as the court does not significantly adjust taxes, I will be able to live a better life than in previous years when I come to Guizhou, and every family will have more food."

"In this case, our efforts will not be in vain."

When Ying Chengyu saw the heartfelt smiles on the farmers' faces and the obviously fatter cheeks of the children, Ying Chengyu truly felt that everything he had done was worth it!

Having a full meal is probably a beautiful thing!

The smile on Ying Zheng's face became even brighter: "Good! Very good!"

"Great Qin will not change taxes within five years."

“Five years from now, when taxes are set based on the situation at that time, heavy taxes and heavy taxes will not be set.”

"The leaders of Guizhou have lived too hard these years. Brother Nai can't just seize the leaders of Guizhou with an extra layer of millet in their millet jars and snatch them into the hands of the court."

What makes Ying Zheng even more happy is that Ying Chengxuan believes that this year will be a good year.

This shows what?

It means there are no natural disasters this year!

If nothing unexpected happens, as long as Da Qin develops step by step, its national power will be steadily improved!

Ying Chengyu raised his eyebrows: "Brother, are you planning to take this opportunity to subtly change the policy of governing the people?"

Allowing the leaders of Guizhou to have enough to eat without going to the battlefield is an idea that runs counter to Shang Junce!

Ying Zheng smiled and looked at Ying Chengyu: "My former brother admonished my brother: Lord Shang's strategy is good at troubled times, but not good at prosperous times."

"The world today is still in troubled times, but with the king's brother here and all the ministers and ministers here, the prosperous times will not be too far away."

"Brother, you should also think about it for the prosperous times."

"Furthermore, Brother Wang's diligent treatment of gold juice and pigs is not only to fill the granaries, but also to fill the bellies of all the people, right?"

Ying Chengxiao touched his palms and smiled: "If the head of Qin and Guizhou hears this news, he will be happy!"

"If the heads of other countries in Guizhou hear this news, they will definitely turn their hearts to Da Qin!"

"Brother, congratulations to all the people of the Qin Dynasty!"

"Report!!!" Before Ying Chengyu's laughter ended, a burst of anxious shouts tore through the tranquility of the countryside.

Ying Zheng suddenly looked back and saw Le Guan leading a candidate to gallop towards him on horseback.

Yu stood up and dismounted ten feet in front of Ying Zheng. Le Guan staggered and rushed to Ying Zheng, but his eyes were directed at Ying Chengxuan.

Ying Zheng said without hesitation: "Everything in the world must be addressed to the king's brother."

"explain!"

Pi Guan then spoke solemnly: "On January 8th, Master Zhao Zuo died after touching a dragon!"

"On January 13th, the State of Zhao mobilized its troops!"

"The people stationed in Zhao estimate that Zhao will have to recruit at least 500,000 troops this time!"

"For more specific information, the people stationed in Zhao are still trying to find out."

Ying Zheng's pupils suddenly condensed: "Master Zhao Zuo is dead!"

"How did you die?"

The candidate who came with Le Guan hurriedly said: "According to the investigation of our troops stationed in Zhao."

"On January 5, the fourteenth year of the Qin Dynasty, the King of Zhao criticized Gongzi Jia and threw him into prison."

"On January 6, King Zhao carried out a large-scale roundup, arresting a total of fifty-one officials with a rank of more than a thousand stones in the Zhao Kingdom, and threw them all into prison."

"On January 8, Zhao Zuo's master Qi Long knocked on the door outside Longtai Palace and asked to see King Zhao Qian. He entered at night."

"On the morning of January 9, Master Zhao Zuo's corpse appeared at the entrance of Longtai Palace. He still knelt facing the palace until his death."

"According to inquiries from the waiters, on the night of January 8, Lord Zhao Chunping placed the soaked Zhao Zuoshi at the entrance of the palace and strictly ordered the guards not to help him."

"Master Zhao Zuo was frozen to death in the snow when he touched the dragon!"

After listening to the waiter's words, Ying Zheng was silent for more than ten breaths, and then he sighed with emotion: "Hey!"

"What a pity! What a sorrow! What a pain!"

"How magnificent!"

"It is really lucky for Zhao to have such a loyal minister!"

Although Ying Zheng and Chu Long belong to two different countries, they both want to kill each other.

But when Ying Zheng heard the news of Chu Long's death, he couldn't help but sigh.

Regret, regret, and admiration!

Ying Chengyu said even more sadly: "My mother, that unfortunate child of King Zhao is really a treacherous child. I don't feel sorry for him."

"A great talent like Chulong kills him just when he says it?"

"The State of Zhao cannot tolerate the dragon, but our country of Qin can tolerate it!"

"I was thinking of asking Chulong to persuade me to rest more and work less!"

"As a result, he was frozen to death in Longtai Palace!"

"King Zhao, can he still sleep peacefully at night?"

Ever since Chulong served as the grain escort officer for Li Mu's department four years ago, Ying Chengxuan had been interested in meeting Chulong.

Ying Chengyu not only wanted to see what kind of person this person who could be trusted by everyone in the country like Qu, the general of the Yan Kingdom, was.

I also want to see with my own eyes how eloquent and eloquent Master Zuo Chulong is, who created the famous chapter "Chulong Speaks of the Empress Dowager Zhao", which has been read and recited by countless students two thousand years later.

As a result, before Ying Chengjiao had a chance to meet Chu Long, this outstanding person who would be regarded as a treasure by many wise rulers died like a wild dog in Longtai Palace!

Ying Zheng sighed softly: "It's too late to think about it now."

"Zhao State has mobilized a large army, and our Great Qin cannot turn a blind eye."

"Summon the three dukes, nine ministers, generals and other officials with a rank of 1,000 stones or above to come to Chang'an Township to discuss matters!"

The eunuchs quickly set up tents on the spot, set up tables, sent police to patrol around, and ordered the guards to form a human wall, creating a safe and secret space for the monarchs and ministers of the Great Qin.

Half an hour later, a group of court officials arrived one after another.

Until all the ministers arrived, Ying Zheng finally spoke: "Pi Houyan, tell all the ministers about the state of Zhao."

Pi Guan bowed his hands and spoke in a deep voice: "On January 5, the 14th year of the reign of Qin Wang Zheng, the king of Zhao criticized the crime of Prince Jia..."

"On January 19, Zhao State mobilized troops. It is roughly estimated that Zhao State intends to recruit more than 500,000 soldiers!"

Hearing Pi Guan's words, the whole tent was filled with helplessness and anger.

Han Cang slapped the table angrily: "Two years ago, Chang'an Jun made Chang'an plows, and our Great Qin was about to cultivate the fields."

"Zhao and Chu suddenly formed an alliance and attacked our Great Qin during the farming season."

"This year, Chang'an Jun developed the art of treating manure with gold juice, and Zhao State took the initiative to attack our Great Qin before the spring plowing."

"This Zhao State just doesn't want to see our Great Qin cultivate for a year!"

"How hateful!"

Even though Han Cang was just a technical official specializing in internal affairs, Han Cang understood that Zhao State's massive military campaign was definitely aimed at the Great Qin.

Because Yan and Qi didn't need Zhao to mobilize almost all of its national strength to attack them!

In recent years, the Qin Dynasty has been fighting many wars, and its national strength has become increasingly exhausted.

But every time the Qin Dynasty wanted to recuperate, these countries would always take the initiative to attack, forcing the Qin Dynasty to fight back.

As a result, the Qin Dynasty had the technology to accumulate national strength, but it had no chance to recuperate at all, and could only hold on to its broken body to deal with the heavy punches from other countries.

Han Cang was so angry!

Wei Liao said in a deep voice: "The stronger my Great Qin is, the weaker other countries will be."

"Once my Great Qin rests and recuperates, Zhao will surely perish!"

"It is common for Zhao to do this."

"Or rather, it is unexpected that Zhao did not take the initiative to attack my Great Qin's rear when Qin and Qi attacked Chu last year."

Han Cang looked at Ying Zheng hopefully and said: "Your Majesty, I think my Great Qin may be able to exchange a few cities for a short period of peace with Zhao."

"One year!"

"It will only take one year for my Great Qin's national strength to soar!"

"The territory ceded this year, my Great Qin will be able to take it back next year!"

Han Cang is not afraid of fighting.

Han Cang just hopes that the Great Qin can retract its fist a little, so that it can hit a more powerful punch!

But before Ying Zheng could speak, Wei Liao shook his head and said, "This strategy is difficult to implement."

"Zhao's left-handed general Chu Long just died, and Zhao State mobilized troops. These two things must be related."

"I think that Zhao Wangqian has been sidelined, and the death of Zhao's left-handed general Chu Long may be caused by Zhao Xiang Guo Kai."

"And the fundamental purpose of Zhao State's mobilization this time is to transfer Zhao Wuan Jun away, so that Zhao Wuan Jun has no time to care about the chaos in the court."

"This is what Zhao Xiang Guo Kai did to eliminate dissidents and completely control the court, not for the interests of Zhao State."

"So even if my Great Qin pays a huge price, Zhao State will definitely not stop the war!"

"But correspondingly, neither Zhao Xiang Guo Kai nor Zhao Wuan Jun will be very determined to fight."

"Zhao Xiang Guo Kai needs the war itself, and Zhao Wuan Jun needs the war to end as soon as possible!"

They are all foxes of a thousand years. Even if there is not much useful information in the intelligence, it is enough for Wei Liao to make effective judgments based on the world situation and the situation of Zhao State.

How this battle turns out is not important to Guo Kai.

Whether or not a fight can be fought is very important to Guo Kai!

If a fight cannot be fought, Guo Kai will have no way to deal with the furious Li Mu.

Compared with life, it doesn’t matter if the Qin Dynasty cedes ten or a hundred cities!

Han Cang showed despair: "In other words, we have to fight?!"

Wei Liao nodded solemnly: "We have to fight!"

Han Cang asked with the last glimmer of hope: "But since my Great Qin is unwilling to fight, Zhao Wuan Jun is also unwilling to fight."

"Can this war end as soon as possible?"

Wei Liao shook his head helplessly: "Impossible."

"Although Zhao Wuan Jun is unwilling to start a war at this moment, Zhao Xiang Guo Kai will not let this war end easily."

"Zhao Wuan Jun must obey the orders of Zhao Xiang Guo Kai, otherwise he will be charged with disobeying orders and rebellion."

"Unless Zhao Wuan Jun raises an army to rebel or flees abroad, Zhao Wuan Jun will surely die."

"So although my Great Qin is unwilling to start a war, Zhao Wuan Jun is also unwilling to start a war, and Zhao State does not care about the outcome of this battle."

"But this battle will definitely be long and fierce!"

It is no exaggeration to say that Guo Kai has tied Qin and Zhao to the chariot of war for his personal interests!

As long as Guo Kai does not want to end this war, this war will not end easily!

Wei Zhuang, Wang Wan and other important officials also nodded in agreement, echoing Wei Liao's advice.

Han Cang looked even more desperate, and collapsed to the ground helplessly, thinking pitifully about how long the grain reserves in the Qin treasury could last, and how to withdraw young and strong people so as not to affect the spring plowing of the Qin.

Ying Zheng asked in a deep voice: "My dear minister, now that you have seen the problem, do you have any countermeasures?"

Wei Liao bowed and responded solemnly: "I think if we want to resolve this war quickly, we should start from two aspects."

"First, the diplomatic relations between Yan and Qi."

"Second, a strong attack!"
