Chapter 22: Ten Years of Dan Guoxing

The summer of the twenty-fourth year of Yuanjing.

Tan Kelu arrived at Qiling, killing more than 7,000 enemies and taking tens of thousands of prisoners, which shocked the whole country.

Among them, in addition to Qin Fufeng who led the army in Dan State, Qin Luo was the one who contributed the most.

He single-handedly assassinated the former king of Xiyang Kingdom and vented his anger for the country, which proved the importance of the existence of the organization he founded.

So he spent the next year and a half to initially build the basic structure of the organization and named it "He Yu Tang".

The reason he left behind the name in writing was that he hoped that the Heyu Hall could be everywhere like grass and drizzle.

But the real reason.

He took a part of his own name "Qin Luo" to name it.

Within half a year after the establishment of Heyutang, they obtained the real topographic map of Qiling in Lu country.

And also conducted many field explorations.

Therefore, when Dan finally conquered Lu, the map in Qin Fufeng's hand was more detailed than that of his opponent.

In the spring of the twenty-fifth year of Yuanjing, the whole country of Lu attacked Dan. The general who led the army was killed in the middle of the battle, and the deputy general who replaced him also died on the battlefield. The country of Lu was defeated and unable to recover.

The following year, Lu State ceded 300 miles of land.

In the winter of the twenty-sixth year of Yuanjing's reign, the state of Li attacked Lu. He was ambushed on the way and was defeated and fled.

In the spring of the next year, when the Dan Kingdom was conquering Yi, the strange army intercepted its food route and surrounded the royal capital for three months. They defeated it and destroyed the country of Yi.

When he tried to escape, the royal family was intercepted and killed on the way, and the country was wiped out and the family was destroyed.

In the 31st year of Yuanjing, the Five Kingdoms allied themselves to attack Dan. Although they plundered three hundred miles of territory, they were short of food and grass and wanted to retreat.

The Dan army pursued and defeated them.



After ten years of conquest, Dan's national power became stronger and stronger.

In almost every war, they were able to achieve a battle loss ratio of ten to one, and in addition, they expanded a large amount of land and gained population.

Now, the Dan Kingdom has a vague dominance in the southwest of Jiangzhou.

However, the road to the north of Dan State was separated by a large river, and the country had annexed too much land within ten years and needed to digest it, so it temporarily stopped its pace of continued expansion.

In the past ten years, Qin Fufeng commanded almost every battle and brought countless victories.

His prestige in Dan Kingdom reached its peak.

But what few people know is that behind the Dan country's continuous victory in foreign wars and annexation of other countries, the one who actually made the greatest contribution was the He Yu Tang hidden in the shadows.

Their business scope is extremely broad.

Assassinate enemy generals, explore military intelligence, cut off food routes, hunt down the royal family...

It is almost a nanny-style service for the country's army.

Basically, all the generals leading the Dan Kingdom were astonished that the intelligence before their case could be so detailed, if God could help.

After all, in a war, even the most inconspicuous information has great value.

And they can actually do the same thing as if they had the whole map open.

Not only do you know the enemy's army deployment, but you also know the news about the sudden death of enemy generals from time to time.

This can greatly improve the morale of the army.

On the contrary, those parties who were enemies of the Dan Kingdom, after knowing that their own intelligence was exposed, kept trying to catch the mole, but to no avail.

Later, he gathered a large army and tried to completely subdue Dan State in terms of military strength, and accomplished his feat in one battle.

But with such a large-scale army gathering, Dan State would receive the news faster.

So when their alliance army entered the territory of Dan State, they faced the tactics of fortifying the wall and clearing the country, and they ran out of food and grass.

Finally, during the retreat, the Alliance army's command had a slight loophole, and they were captured by the Dan Kingdom. They suffered heavy losses and were no longer able to raise a large army to fight against the Dan Kingdom.

In the winter of the thirty-third year of Yuanjing, Qin Zhengming, the king of Dan, was critically ill.

In the palace of King Dan.

Qin Zhengming was lying on the couch, the gray lifeless look in his eyes already revealed.

In recent years, the country of Dan was in a period of rapid development, and he had always been diligent in his duties, spending almost seven hours a day dealing with various memorials.

If it were wartime, he would have to spend half an hour listening to military information.

All of this has drained almost everything out of his body.

Qin Zhengming, who was only in his sixtieth year, knew that it would be difficult for him to survive this cold winter.

But when he thought of his efforts over the years, pride arose in his heart.

before he took over the country.

The country of Dan has just experienced a large-scale war and has barely recovered its strength.

When he accepted this country.

They are surrounded by powerful enemies, like a pack of wolves, waiting for an opportunity to swarm them and bite them apart.

And now.

He is about to pass this country on to the next generation.

The Dan Kingdom has swept through the surrounding countries, and there is no force in the entire southwest of Jiangzhou that can compete with it.

As long as Dan country is given enough time, they can even go northward to compete with those big countries.

This is probably something that my ancestors never even thought about when they fled here.

The small country that was no more than three or five cities back then has the strength to compete for a state today.

Qin Zhengming showed a happy smile on his face, turned his head and looked at the five ministers of Dan Kingdom standing in the palace.

"I know that I don't have much time left, so now I have to entrust the country's country to you." He coughed heavily and then said.

Qin Fufeng, who has experienced many battles, never showed a trace of negative emotions in the military camp even if he was anxious about the war.

But now he whispered with a sad face: "What are you talking about, Your Majesty? It's just a small amount of cold. Wait for the imperial doctor to send you the decoction and take it, and the disease will be cured naturally."

Qin Zhengming smiled helplessly and said: "Fufeng, I know my body well, but even now, are you still unwilling to call me Brother Zhengming?"

Qin Fufeng was slightly startled, and after a moment of silence, he called out in a low voice: "Brother Zhengming."

"Hey." Qin Zhengming nodded, "Fufeng, I will leave Li'er to your assistance from now on. Li'er is stupid by nature, but fortunately he has no doubts about the people he employs."

"Yes." Qin Fufeng said sadly.

Qin Zhengming tilted his head slightly, looked at Qin Yangwei and called: "Da Zongzheng."

"I'm here."

"The Qin family's etiquette cannot be abolished."

"clear."

He nodded slightly.

Even though everyone present knew what he wanted to explain, it was difficult to explain it clearly.

When the prince succeeds to the throne, the other powerful princes must not be disobedient.

If there are, then let them have none.

Qin Zhengming continued to look at the others and explained: "Prime Minister Zhang, you have been deliberately reforming in recent years. Now that the war has gradually subsided, you really need to resume production and make peace with the people.

But after I leave, I'm afraid there will be a lot of opposition in the court, which will be a pain for you."

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Zhang said excitedly with a trembling tone: "I will fight to the death and live up to the king's trust."

Qin Zhengming nodded slowly and said: "Good."

Then he looked at the prince and grand master and explained.

Let the grand master wait for the prince to ascend the throne, but still carefully advise the prince, and tell the prince not to be arrogant and extravagant, and not to use sycophants.

at last.

Qin Zhengming looked at the last person in the palace with a slightly complicated expression.

This is also the only person here who is a generation different from them.
