The most powerful fool system

　At the same time, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun also led the Qin army to conquer Shangyong, Fangling and other cities in front of Handong, completely occupying the territory in front of Handong.

　On November 22, a scout from the Qin army came to report.

　"Report, Your Majesty, the military division is here to report that the Han army has sent troops from Guangyuan to attack."

　Xu Feng was rectifying his troops in Nanzheng City when he received news from Guo Jia from the south.

　"Assemble the troops and go south with me to face the Han army."

　"promise."

　Five days later, the 13 troops of the Qin and Han armies faced off at the junction of Hanzhong and Shu.

　The Han army has 9 horses, and the Qin army has only 4 horses.

　The two armies set up camps and fought fiercely every day.

　Although the Han army is superior in strength and both sides have their own offense and defense, it is always difficult to distinguish the outcome.

　After all, the Qin army has an advantage in equipment, and there are four strong generals including Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, and Lu Zhishen. Even if the Han army has the upper hand, it is difficult to take advantage of the Qin army.

　And in the past half a month, Zhuge Liang has sent Daqin officials from Xianyang into Hanzhong, and took over Nanzheng, Chenggu, Shangyong, Fangling and many other cities.

　Time dragged on to the end of December, Guan Ying, the commander-in-chief of the Han army, couldn't bear it any longer, and fought a decisive battle with the Qin army.

　In fact, it has entered the depths of winter at this time, and the weather is freezing, and it is difficult for the two armies to transport food and grass.

　In this case, if the two armies continue to confront each other on the border, the loss will be huge.

　"kill!"

　In this battle, the thousand armored infantry of the Qin Army led by Lu Zhishen showed their might and demonstrated their strength as the king of infantry fighting.

　Lv Bu, Zhao Yun, and Huang Zhong led the army to help. After a day of fierce fighting between the two armies, the Han army was the first to withdraw from the battlefield.

　In this battle, the Han army suffered more than 8000 casualties, while the Qin army suffered less than [-] casualties.

　After the defeat in this battle, Guan Ying and Cao Shen led the Han army back to Guangyuan, and Xu Feng also led the Qin army back to Nanzheng City.

　The two armies temporarily stopped their flags and drums and entered a truce period.

　Liu Bang was also very angry when he learned that Guanying had failed in the war and that Hanzhong had not been recaptured.

　But unfortunately, the fall of Hanzhong has become a fact.

　It has been a month since the Qin army captured Hanzhong, and it has initially allowed the Qin army to gain a firm foothold in Hanzhong.

　In addition, Guan Ying and Cao Shen's [-] Han army lost a decisive battle with the Qin army, lost a lot of troops, and their morale was low. It is not suitable to continue the Northern Expedition in a short time.

　In this case, even if Liu Bang is not reconciled, he can only endure it first, and then find an opportunity to regain Hanzhong in the future.

　After all, Liu Bang's title of King of Han is because he occupies the land of Hanzhong.

　But now, the Qin army has taken Hanzhong back, which means that Liu Bang, the king of Han, is a bit of a nameless, and he might as well be called the king of Shu.

　The Han army did not continue to counterattack and attack Hanzhong. Xu Feng immediately returned to Xianyang with Guo Jia, Lu Bu, Huang Zhong and others at the beginning of January.

　Xu Feng left Lu Zhishen in Hanzhong and left him [-] Qin troops to guard Hanzhong, always guarding against Liu Bang's counterattack in the south.

　Moreover, Xu Feng allowed Lu Zhishen to recruit another [-] new troops in Hanzhong to guard Hanzhong for Daqin, the southern gate at this time.

　This time, Xu Feng led the army to capture Hanzhong. After more than two months, he successfully took Hanzhong back to Daqin.

　In this way, Xu Feng no longer has to worry about being in Xianyang, he will be attacked by Liu Bang from Hanzhong in the south to Guanzhong at any time.

　Hanzhong has become the forward position against Liu Bang in Shu, and now it's Liu Bang's turn to be unable to sleep at night, always worrying that the Qin army will go south from Hanzhong and enter Shu.

　On January [-]th of the fifth year of Qin II, Xu Feng returned to Xianyang City with Guo Jia and others, as well as [-] Qin soldiers.

　Zhuge Liang took Wang Yong and other officials in Xianyang City out of the city to meet Xu Feng.

　"Prime Minister, what happened to Xianyang during the two months I left?"

　After returning to Xianyang City, Xu Feng immediately summoned Zhuge Liang, Wang Yong and other military and political ministers to ask him about the period of time he had been away.

　"Return to Your Majesty, everything in Xianyang City is normal.

　According to His Majesty's instructions when he left, during this period of time, the imperial court opened four more mines in Guanzhong.

　Among them, three coal mines and one iron mine digested all the tens of thousands of prisoners captured by His Majesty's defeat of the Chu army before.

　With the opening of these iron and coal mines, it is enough to supply the monthly coal and iron needs of the Ordnance Bureau outside the city.

　Even, due to the increased production of coal mines, it can be used by ordinary people in Xianyang City.

　Weichen can assure His Majesty that no one will freeze to death in Xianyang this winter. "

　Zhuge Liang said to Xu Feng.

　"Ah, very good.

　Aiqing will continue to send people out to find coal and iron ore sites, not only in Guanzhong, Beidi, and Shangjun.Longxi, and even Hanzhong, have to send people to look for them.

　We will need more such coal and iron mines in the future. "

　At this time, the coal mines and iron mines that Daqin found were basically open-pit mines.

　Who knows that there is no exploration technology in this era, so we can only look for open-pit mines.

　Fortunately, at this time, Daqin's territory in the northwest area is still large enough, like open-air coal and iron mines, and there are still many to be found.

　Now, the open-pit coal and iron mines that Daqin has found are actually quite a few, and the reserves in each of them are not small.

　These open-pit mines are enough for Daqin to use for a long time. What Daqin lacks is the manpower to mine these mines.

　"Your Majesty, there is also the production of white paper, and now it can produce tens of thousands of white paper every month.

　According to His Majesty's instructions, Wei Chen has already mobilized a group of civil servants to sort out all the documents and materials in our Great Qin Dynasty, transcribe them all on white paper, and bind them into a book. "

　"Well, the Prime Minister did the right thing.

　By the way, I asked the court to issue a recruitment order before, how is the situation now? "

　It was only at this time that Xu Feng remembered that in order to attract talents, he had abolished the Great Qin's rule that only legalists were allowed, which meant that scholars of schools like Confucianism and Mohism had thrown away olive branches.

　Now Xu Feng really wants to know how effective his order is.

　"Returning to Your Majesty, in the past few months, scholars from the Confucian and Mohist schools have indeed come to vote, and Confucian students are the most, about sixty people.

　Mohism is next, with more than forty people, and there are Taoists, Yin-Yang Schools and other schools in the rest, the number of people varies from a few to a dozen.

　For these scholars who came to vote, Weichen personally gave them the test papers to answer.

　Then, according to their answers, Weichen selects the outstanding ones and gives them reuse.

　At present, more than [-] Confucian scholars have been appointed by Weichen as civil servants to serve in the imperial court.

　There are also more than [-] members of the Mo family who have passed the assessment of the Ordnance Bureau and entered the Ordnance Bureau.

　Some people from other schools also have their own arrangements.

　Your Majesty, I have to say that the students from various schools who came to vote are at least able to read and write, and they are all useful to us. "

　When Zhuge Liang talked about this incident, he also became energetic.

　In fact, at this time, Daqin was eager for officials, and the students from various schools who came to vote were basically able to read and write, so they were suitable candidates for civil servants.

　"Is there only so many people?"

　However, Xu Feng frowned slightly after listening to Zhuge Liang's report.

　Xu Feng was a little dissatisfied with the arrival of so many bachelors from various schools.

　Zhuge Liang also seemed to see Xu Feng's dissatisfaction, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, after all, the imperial court's recruitment order has only been issued for a few months.

　In the past, Daqin only valued legalists, but now I suddenly changed the rules, which will inevitably make other schools feel uneasy.

　Now, in such a short period of time, it is already considered a good result to have people from various schools of thought to vote.

　I believe that as long as we treat the first batch of students from various schools who came to vote well, fulfill His Majesty's order, and select talents for use.

　After a while, there will be more talents from various schools of thought to vote for.

　Moreover, Weichen has already sent people to spread the white paper of our Daqin to colleges all over the place, and the response from those students has been very good.

　Once those people get used to using white paper, they will no longer be willing to use bamboo slips.

　As for white paper, only our Daqin can produce it now.

　If they want to use white paper frequently in the future, they can only come to our Daqin. "

　"The prime minister is right, I am a little anxious."

　Xu Feng nodded slightly. It is really not easy to rush this matter.

　After questioning Zhuge Liang, Xu Feng immediately turned his head to look at Taiwei Wang Yong beside him, and asked, "Taiwei, in the past two months, what happened to those fake princes around?"

　Wang Yong stepped forward and walked out: "Go back to Your Majesty, there is one thing that needs to be reported to His Majesty."

　"You said."

　"A few days ago, Weichen received news from Shangjun that two false princes and kings east of the Yellow River, Wei Bao and Zhao Xie, broke out in the Jinyang area."

　"Oh? These two guys really started fighting.

　Haha, it seems that Wei Bao hates Zhao Xie for stabbing Zhao Xie in the back and capturing Jinyang!

　Actually, I have to really thank Wei Bao and the traitor Sima Xin.

　Back then, if the two of them hadn't suddenly withdrawn from the battlefield, it would have been hard to say who would have won the decisive battle between Xiang Yu and Xiang Yu. "

　When Xu Feng heard Wang Yong talk about Wei Bao, he immediately laughed too, recalling the decisive battle with Xiang Yu in Yelanggou.

　"How was the war between the two of them?"

　"Return to Your Majesty, according to the latest news I received.

　Wei Bao led [-] Wei troops to attack Jinyang, trying to take back Jinyang from Zhao Xie's Zhao army. The two armies fought for more than a month.

　At the end of last month, Wei Bao was defeated by Zhao Xie and fled back to Pingyang.

　And Zhao Xie took advantage of the victory to pursue, not only captured Jinyang, but also went south to capture more land under Wei Bao's command.

　Now, most of Wei Bao's original three counties, Taiyuan County, which is the largest in the north, have been taken by Zhao Xie.

　Zhao Xie now sits in Yanmen, Daijun and Taiyuan three counties, removes Xiang Yu's previous title of Daiwang, and re-establishes himself as Zhaowang, which has the potential to reappear the Zhao Kingdom back then, Your Majesty has to guard against it! "

　"It turned out to be Zhao Xie who won.

　Haha, there is no need for Taiwei to worry, Zhao Xie is a greedy person, he is very happy for his achievements, he has no foresight, so there is nothing to worry about.

　Now that they are dog-eat-dog, we should not intervene. It is best to let them fight and hurt both sides.

　At that time, I will send troops across the river again, and take down the two false kings, Zhao Xiehe and Wei Bao, in one fell swoop.

　Zhao Xie still wants to restore the former state of Zhao, how can I let him do so. "

　Xu Feng sneered and said.

　For Zhao Xie and Wei Bao, Xu Feng never took them seriously, and never regarded them as real opponents from the beginning to the end.

　Only Xiang Yu, Liu Bang and Han Xin were the ones who really made Xu Feng afraid.

　"Your Majesty, in addition to the war between the Wei and Zhao puppet kings, there is also a fight between the Liaodong King and the Yan King in the east.

　Liu Bang killed Sima Xin and annexed Badi.

　Han Xin and Xiang Yu are also attacking Qidi. These rebellious princes are now all turning against each other.

　This is good news for us Daqin. "

　Wang Yong continued with a smile on his face.

　"Well, that's right.

　There are many conflicts among these rebellious princes, and internal strife is too normal.

　This is the opportunity given to me. Sooner or later, I will wipe out these rebels one by one, and let the world return to my Great Qin. "

　"The ministers are willing to follow His Majesty and wipe out the rebellion."

　This winter, Xu Feng did not launch any more wars, and Xu Feng was very satisfied with winning Hanzhong as he wished.
