"And you are also the first lady of Xuzhou. I don't know how many women would envy you."

Mi Zhen sneered: "Liu Bei is average in both literary and martial arts."

"Besides having two righteous brothers under his command and some abilities, I really don't know what ability he has to be able to defend Xuzhou."

Mi Zhu sighed: "My lord has the name of benevolence and righteousness, so he can win the hearts of Xuzhou people."

Mi Zhen said "Hey": "Brother, you know better than me whether Liu Bei is true benevolence and righteousness or false benevolence and righteousness."

"Little sister thinks that this time, brother really misjudged, and I'm afraid it will make our Mi family fall into a place of eternal doom."

"Nonsense." Mi Zhu's complexion changed, and he shouted, "I have followed my father all over the world since I was a child, and I have been in business for decades. I have never been wrong. There is no mistake."

Mi Zhen sighed slightly: "Liu Bei is more than twice as old as I am, and I am the same age as his daughter, this..."

Mi Zhu flicked his sleeves: "Married to a hero, regardless of age, don't mention it again."

Mi Zhen said faintly: "I hope he is really a hero."

Mi Zhu also breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave.

At this moment, Mi Fang rushed in with a flustered face: "Brother, it's not good, something happened to the lord."

Mi Zhu was taken aback, and asked, "What can happen, my lord?"

"My lord... My lord lost the battle and was chased so urgently that I didn't dare to come to Qu County, so I went back to Xiapi directly."

"Ah..." Mi Zhu was immediately shocked.

Including Mi Zhen who was complaining, also opened her eyes wide.

Liu Bei and Guan Yu lost?

"How is it possible?" Mi Zhu really didn't want to believe it, "The three thousand soldiers brought by my lord this time are the elite Danyang soldiers of the Xuzhou Army. How could they be defeated?"

"Zi Fang, where is the opponent's army?"

Mi Fang shook her head: "I don't know for the time being, it is probably Lu Bu's soldiers."

"It shouldn't be." Mi Zhu still didn't want to believe it, "Even if Lu Bu came in person, the general concerned and the three thousand Danyang soldiers would never be able to defeat the lord."

Mi Fang said: "Lu Bu didn't come, it is said that the opponent's general is named Qin, even Guan Yu is not his opponent."

"Ah..." Mi Zhu was even more shocked.

Under Lu Bu's command, there are actually people whose martial arts are superior to Guan Yu's?

Surname Qin?

Qin Yilu?

It is said that Qin Yilu is Lu Bu's general guard, but his martial arts are still inferior to Zhang Liao, how can he be Guan Yu's opponent?

Mi Zhen asked: "Second brother, who is this general surnamed Qin under?"

Mi Fang shook her head lightly: "I don't know for now."

Mi Zhen sneered again: "Brother, is Liu Bei the benevolent person you said?"

"In times of crisis, did you just leave me, my unmarried wife, and our Mi family aside?"

"Brother, is Liu Bei the wise master you didn't miss?"

Mi Zhu's face turned red, and he was speechless to refute, so he could only sigh slightly: "Little sister, now is not the time to make sarcastic remarks, we must guard Qu County first."

"Perhaps, after the lord returns to Xiapi, he will personally lead the army, with Guan and Zhang as generals, to rescue Qu County."

"Zi Fang, you rush to the top of the city and take charge of the defense."

"Here, big brother." Mi Fang responded, and hurriedly ran out again.

Mi Zhu then instructed Mi Zhen: "The situation is urgent, we have to make two preparations."

"Little sister, pack up quickly. Once Qu County cannot be guarded, we have to leave here immediately."

Mi Zhen asked indifferently: "Our Mi family's foundation is here, is it true that elder brother is willing?"

"Ah..." Mi Zhu sighed, "As long as the lord is here, Qu County will be taken back sooner or later."

"But if you fall into the hands of the enemy general, little sister, and lose your innocence, how can we rely on the lord in the future?"

At this moment, Mi Fang's terrified voice came again: "Brother, brother, something is wrong again."

Seeing that Mi Fang panicked, she ran over, "Those black-armored troops have already entered the city and surrounded our Mi Mansion."

"Ah..." Both Mi Zhu and Mi Zhen were taken aback, their expressions changed drastically.

Mi Zhen sighed slightly: "Two brothers, we can't escape, I'm afraid the Mi family will be in great trouble this time."

Chapter 004 Your Wife Is My Concubine

Two hours later.

The killing sounds in Qu County gradually subsided.

Above the city gate, there are four black "Qin" banners.

The "Liu" banner was directly thrown out from the city by Qin Jun, announcing the change of ownership of this coastal city.

In the county government office, the celebration banquet has already begun.

There were only three people, namely Ying Wu, Wang Jian and Shang Yang.

"To win Qu County in a single battle today is due to the two talents in civil and military affairs. I would like to offer you a toast."

Wang Jian and Shang Yang held up their wine glasses and said loudly, "For the great Qin and the lord, the last general (subordinate) will die forever."

After drinking, Ying Wu asked, "About the next step of development, do you two have any good ideas?"

In terms of strategizing, it was not Wang Jian's strong point. He directly chose to remain silent.

Shang Yang smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I do have a few suggestions."

Yingwu nodded: "But it doesn't matter."

Shang Yang said slowly: "The first thing to do is to build high walls, accumulate food widely, and become king slowly."

"After this battle, all the princes in the world will surely know the existence of the Lord."

"If the lord announces the restoration of the Qin Dynasty at this moment, I'm afraid it will frighten the princes of the world."

"Once they unite and jointly deal with the lord, with our strength, we will be absolutely invincible."

"It's better, the lord first took Qin as his surname and Wu as his name, and mixed up among the princes."

"Then, use the open and secret struggle between them to eat away at each other one by one and strengthen yourself."

"It's not too late for my lord to unleash the banner of the restoration of the Qin Dynasty and proclaim the emperor on the day my strength allows."

Shang Yang's words are indeed very reasonable.

Yingwu nodded: "Shangjun's words are reasonable."

"From now on, my external identity is Qin Wu."

"Well, Qin Wu, this name is good."

"Hey, those princes will never guess my identity."

Shang Yang said again: "My lord, there are two other urgent things to do."

"The first is to recruit soldiers and train them strictly."

"Although my Great Qin Ruishi is brave, after all, there are only three thousand people, and we cannot compete for hegemony in the world."

"Therefore, recruiting soldiers and training new Great Qin warriors is the top priority."

Yingwu nodded: "Yes, tomorrow we will recruit young men in the city, and then Wang Jian will personally train the soldiers."

Although there is a system, there is no guarantee of winning martial arts, and the Great Qin Ruishi will be rewarded in the future.

Besides, the system is his own secret.

Even though Shang Yang and Wang Jian are absolute confidants, Ying Wu is not going to tell them.

Wang Jian cupped his hands and said, "The final general obeys orders."

Shang Yang said again: "The second is to restore the military merit title system of the Great Qin Dynasty."

"In the world of the great Han, the gentry and the common people are in the same situation."

"In the past, although Liu Xiu relied on the gentry to win the country, he still made the gentry's tail big."

"My lord, if you want to restore the Great Qin Kingdom, you must follow the first emperor's philosophy of governing the country, disregarding the gentry and emphasizing the common people."

"Once the lord can restore the military title system, the people who signed up will be enthusiastic, and the soldiers will fight to the death on the battlefield, and an iron-blooded army can be trained in a short time."

This military merit title system was the essence of Shang Yang's reform.

Killing enemies on the battlefield, the more beheadings, the higher the title, which is a great incentive for people.

The tiger and wolf division of Daqin was gradually formed because of this system, and it was only later that the Six Kingdoms could be wiped out.

Later, the Han Dynasty was established.

In order to appease the meritorious soldiers, Liu Bei wantonly conferred titles, and even reduced the titles of the twentieth class to the fourth class.

Without war, it is almost impossible for common people to obtain titles.

As for the rich and powerful, they can inherit titles.

The emergence of polarization is the class contradiction of the Han Dynasty, which has become a cancer of the Han Dynasty.

Yingwu nodded: "Okay, if this matter is approved, Shang Jun will be responsible for the specific implementation."

Shang Yang gladly accepted the order.

At this time, a personal guard of Yingwu came in from the outside: "My lord, all of Qu County is under the control of my lord."

"It's just that Miss Mi of the Mi family, the largest wealthy merchant in Qu County, insists on seeing the lord. I don't know what the lord wants?"

The Mi family.

Others don't know, but Yingwu is a person who traveled through later generations, so he naturally understands.

At least, Mi Zhu is one of Liu Bei's loyalists.

Wang Jian frowned and said, "My lord, this Mi family is one of the richest merchants in the Han Dynasty."

"Its Mi's business houses and fields are almost innumerable."

"My lord's current policy is to benefit the poor and poor. This Mi family has countless wealth and is a big family."

"If the lord gives the order to eradicate the Mi family, take over its wealth and use it for the lord, then the great cause of the lord will definitely be twice the result with half the effort."

Wang Jian's meaning is very clear. Since Yingwu wants to promote the military merit title system, it is incompatible with this kind of atmosphere of large households occupying land.

As soon as the words fell, Shang Yang smiled slightly: "General Wang's words are wrong."

"Although, the Mi family can be said to be the richest party, with wealth overwhelming the world."

"However, the Mi family is not considered a noble family, it is completely different from Chen Gui's family in Xiapi."

"Furthermore, Mi's business has been in business for many years, and its business names are spread all over Dahan."

"If the lord can subdue the Mi family, then Mi's business name will be the lord's eyes and ears in the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty, and can spy on the lord."

"In addition, when my subordinates entered the city, they had already sent people to inquire about the Mi family's usual activities."

"According to the inquiries of my subordinates, the Mi family focuses on making money, and there is nothing bad about it."

"In the past, during the time of the Yellow Turbans, refugees flooded into Qu County, and the Mi family even opened a porridge shed to help the victims. It has a good reputation."

Having said that, Shang Yang will stop talking.

He was summoned by the system for a short time.

After entering the city, he sent people to investigate these things.

As for how to choose, that is a matter of winning Wu.

Ying Wu nodded: "Shang Jun's words are very true."

"After the Great Qin Dynasty, after all, 400 years have passed."

"The current political situation is completely different from that of the Great Qin Dynasty."
