Daqin: A buff of incredible comprehension
Chapter 196 "What are you talking about?"
At this time, the sound of horse hooves could be heard not far away. More than ten carts loaded with raw materials were approaching from a distance. Yang Baoying went forward to meet them.
Yang Bao saw that the visitors were the prince and the emperor, and he could not help but bow hurriedly. "Master Zhonghou, what is this?" There was a bulging cloth bag hanging on the pole of the carriage.
"This is breakfast given to me by the people." Yang Bao explained quickly.
"Wow!" ** He put his fingers into it and took out a cooked egg and other food.
"They are all snacks, like wild dates, fried beans and so on."
** Joking
The revised manuscript is as follows:
---
One of the people added half-jokingly, "When you get married in the future, don't forget to invite us to your wedding."
The laughter rang out again.
Chen An's face was as red as a ripe apple, as if the world around him had ceased to exist. He longed to find a place to hide. After some chatting and joking, Wang Ming led the team away to avoid disturbing the normal work of the ironworks.
The afternoon is leisurely and enjoyable.
Wang Ming, Li Cheng, and others were drinking tea in the city, discussing the progress of the Qin Dynasty's five-year development plan. Liu Hua worked a full day's shift, and when he returned home, it was already dark.
"Hua'er."
Before entering, the gate was already open. Mrs. Liu was standing there, her eyes full of worry and concern.
"Mother."
Liu Hua felt warm in his heart and hurried over. "My child is late. Have you been waiting here for a long time?"
"Not too long," Mrs. Liu replied. "Dinner was ready a long time ago, so I just happened to come see you."
Seeing him come back, Madam Liu quickly called out, "Come in and eat."
"I've already had dinner at the Prince's Mansion."
Despite this, Liu Hua went back inside and told his mother in detail what he had experienced that day. "Mom, Brother Li really does act differently."
"It's just that...his official position is really high."
At that time, Liu Hua hadn't yet returned to his hometown and seen the world. He was still like a fledgling, clever but lacking in experience. "Those in high positions should be able to sympathize with their subordinates, and ministers should share the country's worries. They should eat the people's grain and benefit all the people under heaven."
Listening to her son's words, Madam Liu sighed, "Lord Li is a pillar of the country. With him, the Qin Empire will be even more powerful."
She urged: "Stay with him and study hard. If you encounter any problems, feel free to come and talk to me."
As she spoke, her thoughts returned to that playful scene. The man before her seemed no longer the serious and steady image of the past, but had become lively and lively. Sure enough, the neighbors were right; he was quite funny!
As winter turns to spring and spring arrives, the streets of Xianyang become increasingly busy. Merchants from all over the country bring in all kinds of goods, and the streets are bustling with people from all over the world.
A steady stream of carriages and horses set out from Yiyang City. A guard of honor escorted the procession, keeping pedestrians away. Wang Ming and Liu Hua were busy with their project, but their schedule was disrupted by an invitation from Li Xin. Many important figures from the court were attending the military exercises of the Western Expedition Army, and Fusu and Liu Hua were on the invited list.
"Mr. Li is about to go on an expedition and has worked very hard for this. If his morale is damaged, it may not end well." Fusu looked back at the large ordnance covered with sackcloth and advised gently.
"The most important affairs of state are sacrifices and military affairs. How can we let this happen?" Liu Hua said righteously, "But I do not appreciate the tone of your words. There is no need to brag about the might of our army!"
Liu Hua said confidently: "Don't worry, Your Highness, everything is under control."
He called Liu Hua over and whispered, "The situation today is special. You must be careful. If you hear something unpleasant, be patient for a moment."
"Yes, thank you for your guidance, uncle."
Han Xin was very grateful, and calling him "Uncle" became more and more comfortable.
Li Xin had previously suffered a crushing defeat in his campaign against Chu, losing 200,000 men, though he narrowly escaped with his life. This defeat was due to the betrayal of Changping Jun, also from Chu. King Huai of Chu had been held hostage in Qin and formed a marriage alliance. When the previous king of Chu was nearing death, Xiong Yuan escaped and returned to Chu, leaving behind his two sons, Changping Jun and Changwen Jun, in Qin territory.
With both Qin and Chu ancestry and protected by the inner circle of the imperial court, Changping Jun enjoyed a prosperous life. When Ying Zheng ascended the throne, his brothers helped eliminate Lao Ai and expel the powerful minister, Lü Buwei. Unexpectedly, as Chu was on the verge of collapse, Changping Jun turned against Qin and joined forces with Xiang Liang to attack Li Xin, ultimately halting the campaign against Chu. Fortunately, Li Si interceded for him, securing a lighter punishment. Despite the brutal conflict between the two nations, their blood ties remained unbreakable. Li Xin held the greatest hatred for Chu throughout Qin.
Liu Hua was well aware of this and reminded Han Xin to be careful to avoid conflict.
Fusu understood and slightly avoided the subject.
Outside, flags fluttered, and the sound of cavalry resounded through the heavens. The First Emperor's carriage was the most prominent, surrounded by his courtiers, who reviewed the Qin troops' impressive displays. Han Xin's accompanying carriage, heavily laden, was slower. By the time they arrived, the drill was nearing its end.
Fusu led the group toward the parade grounds, and court officials came forward to greet them.
A tall city wall was erected in the northern corner, straw targets were set up, and arrows were arranged in a strict formation. With the sound of passionate horns, crossbow arrows fell like rain.
The archers quickly loaded their arrows, and dense sharp arrows swept towards the top of the city like rain, and the straw men were instantly pierced into big hedgehogs.
Sometimes some arrows would fall, some of which were blocked by the patrolling soldiers' shields, while others were blocked by their heavy armor.
boom!
boom!
boom!
There was a deafening sound from the battering ram hitting the city gate, and the wooden city gate began to make a teeth-grinding sound of breaking.
"The city wall is collapsing!"
"Charge out!"
“Charge forward!”
In an instant, elite warriors, brandishing swords, swarmed in and passed through the slightly opened gap.
Wang Ping was wearing the image of a warrior with swords and spears, and his red and black cloak fluttered in the wind behind him, which was particularly eye-catching.
He urged his mount to stand in the front row, raised his arms and shouted, "Charge with me!"
The sound of hooves gradually became more and more exciting, and as the rhythm gradually accelerated, it became like thunder.
A line of brave knights galloped like lightning, their feet in stirrups, broad-bladed long swords in hand, shouting and charging forward, breaking into the open entrance with great momentum.
"Well done!"
"The general is still as heroic as ever!"
"How can a small country on the borderland stand up to the might of the Imperial cavalry?"
"It seems the new war equipment the general mentioned earlier is indeed powerful."
The generals in the court showed envy and cheered loudly;
Even the civilian officials showed joy on their faces when they saw the powerful military force.
The hope of victory is just around the corner, and perhaps the cost will be far less than expected - this is a great thing for the empire.
The clatter of horse hooves began to sound.
Wang Ping appeared to be in high spirits. After circling his warhorse once, he slowly returned to his formation. He dismounted, bowed to the emperor, and said, "I have trained the soldiers for the past three months. Your Majesty, please review the results."
The emperor nodded expressionlessly without saying anything more.
At this moment, Crown Prince Zhao Guang noticed something unusual - although the generals cheered and celebrated in unison, there was no trace of joy on his father's face.
"Zhao Guang, what do you think of our army's combat effectiveness?"
The Qin Emperor turned around and asked.
Zhao Guang was very troubled. It was obvious that his father was not satisfied with this exercise.
But what is missing?
Seeing no answer, the First Emperor turned his gaze to Chen Liang:
"What do you think?"
As if Chen Liang had anticipated this question, he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to hear the truth? Or just flattery?"
Ying Zheng raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile:
"Why don't you two be curious and take a look?"
Chen Liang paused and said:
"Let me offer a few good words first."
"General Yang Wu is unrivaled in the world!"
“So cool, thumbs up!”
The Emperor of Qin frowned upon hearing these words from later times: "Enough, tell the truth."
So the other party quickly said seriously, "The Western Expedition Army is just so-so; I am quite disappointed."
"what are you saying?"
Wang Meng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he became furious.
He clenched his fists, ready to rush forward and question.
But Meng Tian quickly stepped forward to stop him: "Wait, please don't be impulsive."
He knew that the subsequent evaluation might not be favorable.
"You kid, is it your turn to take care of this matter?"
Wang Meng's punch missed, and he was filled with anger.
Meng Gan didn't dodge or avoid, but directly used his arm to meet Wang Meng's punch, barely maintaining his position: "Do you want to fight me?"
Both were known for their courage, but they also had a history of disagreements.
Right now,
The rift between the civil officials and the military officials in the court was clearly evident.
This era no longer belongs to traditional heroes, although people always want to be self-righteous.
Chen Liang lamented, "This is no longer an era where heroes emerge in large numbers, yet many people still refuse to face the facts..."
** The advent of weapons will undoubtedly overturn the fate of countless heroes on the battlefield. Li Xin unfortunately encounters a time traveler with modern knowledge. The new technology makes his military training seem too old-fashioned and backward...
Wang Meng glared at Chen Liang and asked, "May I ask what evidence do you have to prove that I am wrong?"
Chen Liang avoided the main topic and asked, "How long did it take General Wang to defeat the imaginary city just now?"
Wang Meng replied: "It will take less than an hour to break through."
"Okay." Chen Liang clapped his hands in agreement and said to the First Emperor: "Please give me the same amount of time, I can attack this barrier three times."
The ministers were in an uproar.
Ying Zheng observed the officials' emotions and lamented the generals' attitudes. Their short-sightedness wasn't due to stupidity, but rather to a conservative mentality.
Fortunately, someone was able to break the silence.
"Then," Ying
My brother is in his prime and full of energy!
Just then, three heavily loaded carriages rolled into the parade grounds. Meng Gang, furious over his previous falling out with Li Xin, threw off his outer robe in a fit of rage, revealing his muscular and hairy frame, and strode towards the parade grounds.
"Teacher, let me help you."
Meng Gang bowed respectfully. But the teacher was displeased and said, "How can you bare your chest in broad daylight?"
The teacher waved him away: "You are not needed here."
"I can still capture the city without sending out a single soldier!"
Meng Gang was reluctant to leave, but he had no choice.
"Hurry up and prepare the celebration banquet, it's hot."
"I'll go back when the wine is ready." The teacher gave another order.
Meng Gang had no choice but to retreat in disappointment.
The Western Expedition Army focused their attention on the first carriage. After removing the tarpaulin, a familiar item was revealed:
