Great Qin Shi Empress

The guards outside the door rushed in immediately, and grabbed the businessman who was as thin as a bamboo pole.

Everyone was taken aback by this turn of events. They didn't expect Ying Zheng to change his face suddenly. They couldn't react in time, and they all stood there dumbfounded.

After the businessman was completely tied up, everyone came back to their senses.

Lin Qian looked at Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, what is going on?"

Ying Zheng rubbed the jade hairpin in his hand, his eyes were cold and cold: "It's very simple, there is something wrong with this jade hairpin."

something wrong?what is the problem?

Everyone's eyes fell on the white jade hairpin in Ying Zheng's hand, their eyes were full of bewilderment and curiosity.

Ying Zheng didn't want to explain, but he met Lin Qian's eyes without turning his head.

After a pause, he said helplessly: "Although the widow just threw a hosta randomly at that time, the widow's personal items naturally have unique marks."

Unique mark?

Ying Zheng didn't say much, and pulled out the jade hairpin on his head, and put the two together in Lin Qian's hand: "Look for yourself, you should be able to see it."

After a pause, he reminded, "The Jade Bi is large in size, so the markings may be more obvious, and it is easy for others to imitate, but this Jade Hairpin is small in size, and the markings are hidden. Even if the appearance is exactly the same, it is best The key markers are not easy to spot."

Lin Qian paused, and carefully observed the two jade hairpins.

But after looking at it for a long time, she didn't see any signs.

Reluctantly, Ying Zheng pointed at the tip of the jade hairpin.

Lin Qian was stunned, first touched the tips of the two jade hairpins with his hands, and when he found that one of them seemed to be a little uneven, he immediately put the tips of the two hosta hairpins in front of his eyes.

She widened her eyes wide, and finally saw a text that was thinner than a strand of hair on the jade hairpin that Ying Zheng had just given her.

Observed more carefully, only to find that the word is "Lin".

Lin Qian raised her head suddenly: "Lin?"

Ying Zheng laughed: "The mark on the hosta before was 'Zheng'."

Lin Qian realized the meaning of these words, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

but……

She took the hosta sent by the businessman to observe, but found that it was smooth.Not only does it look like there are no traces, but it feels smoother to the touch.

Lin Qian looked at the businessman: "Say, who sent you here?"

Ying Zheng sneered: "Why ask more questions? Just ask someone to take him down for interrogation!"

The businessman was startled, and raised his head suddenly: "Your Majesty, clearly, this jade hairpin was handed over to me by a mysterious person who wanted me to hand it over to the water god, what is going on behind it that the grassroots don't know about! "

Ying Zheng didn't even bother to look at his weeping face, so he ordered someone to take him down.

After the person left, Lin Qian asked him: "What he said may not be impossible."

Ying Zheng laughed, "I'm confused by the information you told the widow."

Lin Qian was at a loss, not understanding what this meant.

Ying Zheng explained: "Why don't you think about it, if he really got the jade hairpin from someone else, and learned a prophecy from the other party that 'Zulong will die this year', he didn't know about it and it was the first time he met a widow Why is he so bold that he dared to tell this prophecy to the widow?"

If it was true, he would certainly not hold this person accountable.

After all, Zulong never just referred to Yingzheng in the pre-Qin period. This title refers to the leader of human beings.

But the problem is, this hosta is fake.

Since the jade hairpins are all fake, other things may also be fake, so the messenger's "boldness" naturally became a doubt.

In fact, it's not just this one.

Following Yingzheng's words, Lin Qian also thought of something: [Historically, the person who handed the jade bi to Qin Shihuang was an envoy from the Kanto. Nomads? 】

[As a foreigner, after he received a person who seemed to be a god and entrusted him with the jade and the prophecy, how dare he casually tell other people about it before the matter is settled?Is this person still the emperor of Qin? 】

It might sound far-fetched, but...

Once it is known that this person is a liar, then what he does will also become suspicious in the eyes of others.

Ying Zheng did not refute: "Exactly, this matter is a complete scam."

The only problem is...

Ying Zheng frowned and thought: Have I been deceived too many times in history?

Not long after, the businessman who threw himself into the trap couldn't stand the torture, and told the whole story——

The matter is actually quite simple. After the jade hairpin was "lost" to the kid in Jiuyuan County, he immediately ran to sell the broken jade hairpin.This kind of broken hosta is not worth much at all, and it is usually used to make pendants on some jewelry, and it is over.

Unexpectedly, someone recognized the identities of Ying Zheng and Lin Qian, so they went to the store where the jade hairpin was received and bought the jade hairpin.

After changing hands several times, it finally fell into the hands of the businessman.

As for this businessman, he really has some national hatred and family hatred with Ying Zheng——

He himself said that he came from Guandong, but in fact he was an aristocrat of the Yan Kingdom before the unification of the world. He lived in Liaodong since he was a child. He died, his father and brother who fought in the battlefield were gone, and his mother remarried, so he hated Ying Zheng.

It's just that he knew his own situation, knew that he couldn't go head-to-head with it, and thought of the rumors that Ying Zheng believed in immortal gods in his early years, so he paid his lover to carve an identical hosta.

In short, everything is self-directed and performed by this businessman.

Lin Qian: "..."

After hearing the ins and outs of the matter, she subconsciously turned her head to look at Ying Zheng.

Sure enough, Ying Zheng's face was so dark that ink dripped out.

The man was executed naturally, the whole matter seemed to be over, Lin Qian no longer needed to worry too much about Ying Zheng——

As long as he doesn't patrol next year, he should be able to avoid death.

If it is really avoided, then the effect of the top grade longevity pill will be too great.

After all, this life-prolonging pill is counted from the time of taking the pill, which increases the life span of 50 years, and because this pill can only be taken once in a lifetime, it will have no effect the second time, and it does not mean that after taking the pill He would not die due to accidents such as illness or injury, so Ying Zheng and Lin Qian have been suppressing the time to take the medicine.

If death is avoided, they may wait until they are in their 80s, 90s, or even [-]s to take medicine.

By the time……

But for some reason, Lin Qian still couldn't calm down.

Then within a few days, she knew the reason why she couldn't feel at ease——

The Western Qiang tribes suddenly started to move, as if they wanted to take advantage of the period between spring plowing and autumn harvest, when most of the people went to the grasslands to build cities by car, and sent troops to attack Qin.

After the news came, the group did not dare to delay, and immediately boarded the train to return to Xianyang.

Ying Zheng didn't even have time to rest, so he called Li Si and the others over from the carriage: "Do you know what's going on?"

Li Si shook his head: "It is said that someone sneaked into Qin State secretly and found out what firecrackers are. After realizing that they were all deceived, they seemed to understand that Qin State did not want to fight with them at the moment, so they wanted to take the opportunity to attack Qin State."

It is of course correct to take advantage of his illness to kill him.

Otherwise, when the Qin State completely frees up its hands, the tribes of the Western Qiang may be the next annexation target of the Qin State.

Even, the time they chose was extremely correct.

But the problem is...

Lin Qian smiled and said, "If I remember correctly, the last two cities on the grassland have also reached the final finishing stage?"

Ying Zheng nodded, like everyone else, with a lot of smiles in his eyes.

……

Back in Xianyang, Ying Zheng immediately ordered soldiers to be recruited.

At the same time, Han Xin and Mao Dun were transferred from Meng Tian's side to Wang Ben and Li Xin's side——

In this war with the tribes of the Western Qiang, the DPRK and China unanimously decided to let Wang Ben and Li Xin lead the troops, and Han Xin and Mao Dun, two teenagers who had played a very important role in the process of attacking the grassland, served as deputy generals.

In addition, grain and grass from all over the country were also continuously sent to the west.

But Xiqiang will not talk morally with you.

On the last day before Yingzheng and others returned to Xianyang, the Western Qiang tribes directly launched an attack without giving Qin enough time to prepare.

They thought their timing was perfect—

Most of the people went to the grasslands to build cities in order to earn money, and they sent troops suddenly, so Qin didn't have much time to prepare.

Even after Qin's reinforcements and provisions arrive, they may suffer from the Qin army, but before the reinforcements and provisions arrive, why is it that their combined army of the Western Qiang tribes has an advantage?

But what made the Western Qiang tribes dumbfounded was that in the early stage of the war when they should have the upper hand in theory, they were directly chased and beaten by Wang Ben.

reinforcements?forage?Wang Ben didn't care at all!

It has been more than ten years since the last hearty war. Not only did Wang Ben never take part in the previous wars with the Huns, but even the battles against Yelang and other small countries were against Wang Ben's five senses. He watched Don't be too envious of Li Xin running around with his soldiers.

but……

Wang Ben's marching and fighting style is exactly the same as Wang Jian's, they are all steady and straight pushes.

The problem is that although this style is effective when attacking the Six Kingdoms, Wang Ben's style really doesn't have much advantage in the face of the extraordinarily mobile grassland cavalry.

As a result, Wang Ben was "left out".

Now that he finally got the chance to be the chief general, he has to think of a way to have a good time?

The Western Qiang tribes were almost startled by Wang Ben's state like a hungry tiger coming out of the cage, but after a few small-scale confrontations, they decided to change direction and led their troops directly to the direction where Li Xin was stationed.

Wang Ben: "..." No, why are you running?

When Li Xin received the mission this time, he looked at the border handover map between the Qin State and the Western Qiang tribes. Well, most of them are in the place guarded by Wang Ben, and it has nothing to do with him at all.

In view of this, although Li Xin was designated by the imperial court as the main general to attack Xiqiang this time, he actually had already prepared in his heart the possibility of sitting on the bench in the early stage.

Because he didn't think he had a chance to confront Xiqiang.

however……

Li Xin looked at the Xiqiang cavalry who rolled up countless dust in the binoculars, and his expression was a little dazed: "Why did they come to me?"

Li Xin sent troops to deal with it, and at the same time ordered people to inquire.

result……

Well, because Wang Ben beat people so hard that he was scared to come here?

Li Xin didn't know what to say for a moment.

But people have come to their own place, and there is absolutely no reason to let others.

So after Li Xin figured out the situation, he immediately counted the troops, and immediately led the troops to the Western Qiang tribes on horseback: "Hurry up, everyone, otherwise General Wang will bring people over to grab the heads later—"

As soon as these words came out, Qin Junqiu doubled in an instant.

Western Qiang tribes: Is there something wrong with you Qin soldiers?

And what about Wang Ben who was worried by Li Xin that he would come to steal his head?Laughing to death, after being depressed for a while, he immediately led his troops to other directions——

He is stationed on more border lines than Li Xinchang, and if he wants to beat up the Xiqiang cavalry, he is afraid that no one will be found?

As for reinforcements and food?

Wang Ben smiled, and immediately dispatched troops to the hinterland of the Western Qiang tribes——

The profession of being a secret agent is not unique to the tribes of the Western Qiang. When the Seven Kingdoms were fighting, which country did not have thousands of secret agents sent by other countries?You Xiqiang will send agents to inquire about the situation of Qin State. Didn’t Qin State send agents to inquire about the situation of Xiqiang?

Wang Ben had long been waiting for the battle with Xiqiang, and he had inquired clearly about the news that should be inquired.

So when Li Xin drove the tribes of the Western Qiang to run around, Wang Ben led his troops to attack Huanglong directly!

Li Xin also had a similar idea, but what he wanted was to drive the Xiqiang cavalry to their tribe.

But before he had finished half the distance, he heard a loud bang coming from a distance.

Everyone was stunned.

But Li Xin understood instantly: "It's firecrackers!"

The lethality of firecrackers is really not great, but the problem is that this thing is loud!

Maybe it can't hurt people and horses, but...

Li Xin took out a firecracker, and took out a few small firecrackers from his pocket that he had bought for playing. After lighting them, he threw them directly into the ranks of the Western Qiang cavalry.

Then only a few bangs were heard, and the Xiqiang cavalry team, which could form a sharp cone-like formation at any time and cause a lot of trouble to the Qin army, suddenly became chaotic!

Looking at the cavalry fleeing in all directions, Li Xin smiled and said, "Little ones, chase me—"

……

Li Xin played vigorously here, and Wang Ben played heartily——

The early stage of a war is generally a trial stage, and the two sides in the war generally will not put all their troops on the battlefield.

It stands to reason that the hinterland of the Western Qiang tribes actually gathered more troops.

But because there are too many troops, so...

Wang Ben threw the firecrackers and blew up a large piece of them, and the troops of the Western Qiang tribes who had cooperated with each other in a tacit understanding immediately scattered and fled like stragglers, letting the Qin army do whatever they wanted.

Someone yelled while fleeing: "Isn't that thing only fixed in one place? Why can Qin Jun carry it with him?"

……

After a few days of melee, the reinforcements and food that the imperial court called up hadn't reached the front line yet. Wang Ben and Li Si, two crazy generals, had already captured most of the territory of the Western Qiang tribes.

When the reinforcements and food arrived, facing the powerful suppression, the remaining people of the Xiqiang tribes had no choice but to surrender.

But the Western Qiang tribes are more experienced than ordinary soldiers, so they quickly gave up confronting the Qin army head-on, and directly fought guerrilla warfare with Wang Ben and the others.

The Western Qiang tribes were more familiar with the terrain of the grassland and were used to running around on the grassland. Therefore, after they adjusted their tactics and did not gather together to fight the Qin army, the situation quickly stabilized and fell into a stalemate.
