The first thousand five hundred and fortieth chapters
"With the heart of the King of Qi, I am afraid that self-protection with military strength is the priority."
Regarding the internal situation in Qi State, Zhou Qing naturally had channels to learn the news.
There has been no military preparation for forty years, and since the death of Prime Minister Hou Sheng last year, there has been some movement, despite the advice of Tian Dan and others.
I guess King Qi was also worried.
In any case, with 400,000 troops guarding the border, Linzi is much more stable.
Sipping the newly brewed wine in Xianyang this year, it is not too strong, and there is no need for such strong wine.
The affairs of the Qi State, over the course of time, were dominated by large armies pressing down on the territory and directly attacking the Qi State, and then the King of Qi surrendered, so there was no major war.
It is different from the three Jin countries, Yan State, and Chu State. I wonder if Qi State will also make that choice. Within Linzi, Gai Nie and Dun Rui are both there.
"Strength to protect ourselves!"
"There is this possibility. After all, the Shandong kingdoms have fallen and the land is vast. The Qin army's military planning will be beyond everyone's imagination."
The affairs of Qi State are currently being discussed in the Central Committee.
If Qi's 400,000-strong army really tried its best to resist, it would not be a good result.
Qi State's 400,000-strong army blocked the way. Qin State wanted to capture Qi State quickly, and it needed at least 300,000 troops.
In this case, there will be some trouble.
The troops of Meng Tian's Jiuyuan camp cannot be moved. One is to defend Yunzhong and Yanmen, and the other is to withdraw some troops to march westward to Beidi County.
The troops even flowed into the two counties in Hexi in order to stop the Xiongnu.
Yan's military strength is limited, but it would be good for Wang Ben to lead his troops to fight with Xin Sheng at the same time.
Like that...the hinterland of Yanzhao and the hinterland of the Three Jin Dynasties are full of holes, and all the troops from the camp outside the pass have been withdrawn.
The counties outside the pass can only defend themselves.
The Qin Wang Zhengjiang drank all the wine in his hand, so... it seems that although the Five Kingdoms were destroyed, the Xia were still in a state of chaos.
"Do you have any suggestions for Prime Minister, Lieutenant of the State, etc.?"
Zhou Qing smiled slightly when he heard this.
Such a round is indeed no small matter.
As he said that, he looked at Brother Wang and thought that he should gain something from the central plan.
"Discussing the best strategy."
"It can not only capture the Qi State with the smallest force, but also suppress the rest of the unstable lands and quickly unify the world."
Qin Wangzheng shook his head.
The strategy is naturally not difficult to come up with? But is it the most applicable? That’s not necessarily the case.
Most of the suggestions put forward by the Guowei were on military strategies.
Most of the suggestions put forward by Xiangbang were based on political strategy.
General Wang Jian is in the National Protectorate Academy? But no specific information has been reported? Now that the king’s brother has returned, it’s time to summon everyone to discuss politics.
"Unify the world!"
"If you hurry up, it will be done next year."
Zhou Qing sighed deeply.
Have you been down the mountain for many years? Witnessing the end of the Warring States Period with your own eyes? It is really a different kind of experience, but it is a pity that it is not available.
It's more of an impermanence.
The Tao can be Tao, but it is not the eternal Tao!
Is that the movement of heaven? The manifestation of yin and yang? Nothing in heaven and earth can escape it, and nothing can escape it.
If you want to break free, you can only break through the vacuum.
In that realm, the Patriarch did not leave much behind, only one "Tao Te" scripture.
"Unify the world!"
"Nearly a hundred and forty years have passed since Lord Shang presented the Nine Essays on Strengthening the Qin Dynasty to the ancestors of Duke Xiao."
"The Qin Dynasty started from a small country and gradually became stronger? Now, it wants to dominate the world? At the last moment, no mistakes can be made."
The last step? The less careless it is.
The five kingdoms were defeated? Are the remaining forces of the five kingdoms still strong? There are still many forces that resist Qin.
That is the unstable factor.
There are hundreds of schools of thought. I appreciate their inheritance, but as the person who inherits it, it's different.
Maybe if things go well, they will be able to dominate the world next year.
At the last moment, no mistakes can be made.
Absolutely not.
The empty wine bottle in the Qin Wangzheng general's hand fell heavily on the table, and his words were very firm.
"As it should be."
Zhou Qing nodded.
"The Qin Dynasty will surely successfully capture Qi and unify the world."
Meng Yi straightened his body and bowed deeply.
…
…
"Is everything in order in the house?"
After Shenshi, Zhou Qing returned to his residence in Xicheng from Xianyang Palace.
In the mansion, with Zhou Er's departure, everything was left to Zong Qiong to handle. Fortunately, there were enough manpower left.
In the familiar bathroom, Zhou Qingzheng was soaking comfortably in the large wooden barrel, with a lot of alcohol smell on his body.
"Sir, there is no need to organize everything too much. Zong Qiong has arranged everything in advance."
Yun Shu and Yan Ling were waiting beside him. Before setting off from Nanjun, there were documents heading to Xianyang in advance.
When they returned to the mansion, everything was brand new, except for the lack of a lively atmosphere, and everything else was ready for use.
"Um."
Zhou Qing narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded when he heard the voice. Zong Qiong felt relieved when doing things.
Moreover, she and Zong Quan practiced the method of intertwining life and soul, and each gained something. Coupled with the power of the elixir, they both became gods and were not far from the peak.
Within three years, it is not difficult to achieve the Three Yuan Consummation.
"Sir, are things complicated during this trip to Xianyang?"
"It seems that nothing major has happened in Zhuxia."
Yun Shu was curious and couldn't help combing the young master's long hair with his hands with warm water. He followed the young master all the time and knew many things.
Now among the states in Shandong, five states have been destroyed, leaving only the state of Qi, which is not a concern.
It should be nothing serious.
“Not too complicated.”
"We won't stay in Xianyang for long. We will definitely be able to go south before autumn."
Zhou Qing responded softly.
In fact, in what Brother Wang is talking about today, you can participate or not, depending on the strategies of Wei Liaozi, Wang Wan and others.
It is not difficult to come up with a complete set of feasible methods.
Because...the general situation has been decided, the next step is to check for leaks and fill in the gaps as much as possible, so as to avoid any mistakes as much as possible.
"Before Autumn!"
"There are less than two months left. I wonder what Sister Qianhong's place will be like?"
Yun Shu calculated in his mind that the time would indeed not be long.
But it is different for the land of Surabaya where Sister Qianhong is located. Now...Sister Qianhong should arrive at Lanling City as soon as possible.
According to the news from Mo Ya and others, Lanling City is getting more and more chaotic now.
"She's so powerful, nothing will happen to her."
Yan Lingji was sitting in a large wooden barrel wearing a gauze, bathing in the hot clouds, holding silk in hand, enjoying herself.
Hearing Yunshu's words, he hummed softly.
"Sister Yan Ling, according to the documents sent by Mo Ya, there are more than 100,000 troops from Qi State in Cangshan Mountain next to Lanling City."
Yun Shu said helplessly.
"A single disciple of Guigu can compete with a million soldiers."
"Qi's army only has over 100,000 troops, so what's there to be afraid of?"
Yan Lingji responded quietly.
"There really is a Guigu disciple in Lanling City."
"Wouldn't that cancel it out?"
Yun Shu rolled his eyes at Yan Lingji.
"Didn't the young master say that she will be fine?"
"Just worry more."
Feeling the attack from Young Master's palm, Yan Lingji couldn't help but smile. Young Master wasn't worried about Bai Qianhong, and she didn't have to worry.
"I learn tricks pretty quickly."
"Qianhong's affairs with the Qi Kingdom are over this time. If nothing unexpected happens, he will soon cultivate to the realm of oneness with the void."
"Your fire charm skills are far behind."
Zhou Qing opened his eyes and looked at Yan Lingji, who was leaning in his arms at the moment. She was a fast learner of everything except cultivation.
Especially some..., of course, it still feels good.
"Sister Yan Ling, Mo Yu Qilin is also in Lanling City, aren't you worried?"
Suddenly, Yun Shu remembered something.
"His Formless Mysterious Technique is enough to protect himself, so there is nothing to worry about."
Yan Lingji naturally knew about her brother's whereabouts.
As for worries, I really don’t have any, because the "Shadowless Scripture" created by the young master is very wonderful, unless it is personally explored by a warrior above the entrance.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to detect.
"Too."
Yun Shu nodded, he also understood the Wuxiang Xuan Gong. The Qilin has no phase, and the Qilin has ten thousand phases. Perhaps the attack is not enough, and self-preservation is the first priority.

"Xingcheng Library Can Jian met Mr. Gui Gu."
The city of new people!
It is a small city located on the south side of Yan Great Wall.
Although the city is not big, with only a radius of two or three miles, it can be said to be a bustling place, with Donghu people coming in and out, and Qin soldiers also stationed here.
Groups of merchants and merchants came and went, using this place as a cargo transfer station, thus connecting Liaoxi, Liaodong, Yanzhao and Beihu.
Thinking of making a profit.
Can Jian and Tian Ming went south and stopped here briefly to rest and prepare their bags for the journey to the land of Yanmen in the clouds.
When I was drinking in a wine shop, I never imagined that... I would see an old friend.
Mr. Gui Gu!
When Zhao Guoxingcheng Library still existed, I often went to the library to sit and discuss things with the old library owner. At that time, neither the old library owner nor Mr. Guigu broke into the entrance hall.
Now, in Mr. Gui Gu's body, Can Jian has already felt a different kind of vast aura. Needless to say, Gui Guzi has already broken through the barrier first.
And the old owner!
...Thinking of this, Can Jian felt a little sad. Even though he could leave, the old library owner still didn't leave, and he would live and die with Xingcheng Library.
I just don’t know why Gui Gu’s master and apprentice appeared in this place.
This place is far, far away from the Central Plains.
"You are... Can Jian."
"Haha, I didn't expect to see you here. Yes, yes, you are in the library and everything is available."
Wearing black robes and a slightly messy long hair, the old man still exuded a different aura as he looked at the two people in front of him.
Can Jian... I know him.
He is an outstanding disciple of Xingcheng Library, and he himself has fallen behind on principles.
When the Xingcheng Library was attacked and destroyed, he originally wanted to rescue him, but unfortunately, the Qin army was too fast. By the time he appeared in Xingcheng.
Xingcheng has been reduced to ruins.
Later, when I heard that Can Jian and Feixue had established the Spring and Autumn Library in Lanling City, I was slightly relieved and did not bother them.
Unexpectedly, in the most remote small town in Zhuxia, I encountered Can Jian again.
It's really fate.
"Tianming, this is Mr. Guigu."
"This is Mr. Wei Zhuang, a disciple of Guigu."
Can Jian looked joyful, looking at the master and apprentice Gui Gu in front of him, thinking of the past, he felt very happy.
Immediately, he introduced Tianming next to him.
"Sir, Tianming is the son of an old friend. He is currently studying in the library."
Can Jian looked at Gui Gu's master and apprentice again and briefly stated Tianming's identity without going into details.
"Mr. Guiya!"
"Mr. Wei Zhuang!"
Tianming flashed a pair of curious bright eyes, scanning the two people in front of him.
They are Mr. Guigu and Guigu Weizhuang.
Naturally understand their existence.
But I have never seen it with my own eyes.
That's all Mr. Guigu. According to Guigu's rules, he generally cannot escape from the outside world.
In recent years, Guigu Weizhuang has been in the Zilanxuan of Lanling City, and he has been in the Spring and Autumn Library. They are not far from each other, but they have never seen each other.
He is Mr. Genie's younger brother.
Saying that, he bowed politely.
"The son of an old friend?"
"His qualifications are very good, and his cultivation method is also very pure. It is a bit like the inheritance of Taoism, and also has the aura of Ghost Valley."
"And the Mohist Mysterious Skills? He's still young, but his skills are mixed."
Gui Guzi was not surprised. Zhao State fell, Xingcheng Library was destroyed, and Can Jian had many old friends.
Having the son of an old friend is nothing.
On the contrary, his cultivation level is very good, and he is only one step away from becoming a god.
With a slight perception, everything he had cultivated appeared, but he was a little surprised.
That’s it for the inheritance of Taoism and the inheritance of Mohism.
The key to Gui Gu’s inheritance?
It has always been rarely spread outside the country.
"Tianming!"
A young man in black next to Guiguzi looked at the young man.
for him.
I know a lot of information myself.
He still has the aura of Guigu, and in Xianyang Palace, only his senior brother can teach it.
The inheritance of Taoism should also be obtained from Xianyang Palace.
But it is the Mo family's Xuan Gong that is a bit interesting.
Ying Zheng had always disliked the Mohist family and the peasant family, and he had the mystical aura of the Mohist family in him.
"Sir, please come this way!"
"Fortunately, Tianming and I have been resting in the city for the past two days and did not leave, otherwise I would not have been able to see my husband."
He glanced at Wei Zhuang, maybe he knew something about Tianming.
But that's nothing.
Immediately, he reached out to a relatively elegant place in the wine shop and ordered the waiter to bring some of his specialty items.
"Do you want to leave the Great Wall?"
Everyone returned to the soft couches covered with straw mats, and Guiguzi pointed to the Great Wall outside the city.
"no."
"We have just returned from the grassland and are preparing to go to Yunzhong Yanmen Land to see it."
"But the two gentlemen are planning to leave the Great Wall?"
Can Jian shook his head and did not hide his next whereabouts. He looked at the simple table in front of him and there was not even tea.
Really... not used to it.
"I and Xiaozhuang are preparing to return to Zhuxia."
Guiguzi smiled, gently stroking his long beard with one hand, and stayed in Buxian Mountain for a while, which was considered to be something.
Next, return to Chu Di, practice hard, and the Yin and Yang Curse Seal of the Great Sun on your body may disappear on its own.
"Mr. Wei Zhuang is ready to return to Lanling City?"
Can Jian understood, looked at the Guigu disciples, and asked softly.
"Um."
Black clothes and silver hair, he doesn't talk much.
"Mr. Wei Zhuang, does he know the latest news about Lanling City?"
"Can Jian and Tian Ming have been walking in the Yan region, outside the Great Wall, and on the grassland. They didn't know much about the news they received in Lanling City."
"In the past few days, I have received a lot of news from Zhuxia from inside and outside the Great Wall, but there is no news from Lanling City."
Can Jian's words contained a hint of hope, as more than half a year had passed since his last letter to Junior Sister Feixue.
After more than half a year, I really don’t know what Lanling City looks like now.
Even though nothing big will happen to my junior sister, I still want to know more.
Hearing this, Tianming's eyes lit up and he looked towards Guigu Weizhuang.
"I don't know."
"I have been outside the Great Wall for a long time, and it is difficult to know what happened in the Xia Dynasty."
