Chapter 197 Auspicious Omens Arrive in Qin, Subduing the Enemy Without a Fight

Wei Bao's loyalty goes far beyond mere loyalty!

The most important part of this inventory list is the first sentence.

The State of Wei discovered that the noblewoman Bo, whose destiny was that of the mother of the emperor, was an auspicious sign from heaven, protecting the State of Qin. They sent her to Qin while she was still alive.

These words completely broke Zhao Long's composure.

Zhao Long stared at Zhang Cang in shock: "Wei Bao brought the Bo family here?"

Zhang Cang nodded with a beaming smile: "It's already been handed over to Madam..."

Zhao Long nodded. The "wife" he was referring to was naturally his own little maid. The engagement was already arranged by Princess Yingjiao and was now in the public eye. Everything was proceeding smoothly for the wedding.

Addressing someone as "Madam" is already appropriate.

Zhao Long was very surprised.

He found a comfortable sitting position, half-reclining on the chair Qin Mo had made, his eyes showing a thoughtful expression.

Bo Shi.

She was a member of the royal family of Wei and was extremely beautiful.

According to legend, she possessed the destiny of being the mother of the emperor, making her incredibly noble. After obtaining her, Wei Bao felt that he was the chosen one and was so excited that he wanted to establish the Great Wei Empire!

At that time, they even dared to challenge the powerful Xiang Yu and Liu Bang.

Unfortunately, Wei Bao was not the father of the emperor.

Wei Bao was later defeated by Liu Bang, and Bo Shi entered Liu Bang's harem.

Empress Bo, through the son she bore for Liu Bang, Emperor Wen of Han (Liu Heng), has historically proven herself to be the true mother of the emperor.

Now, Wei Bao has sent Bo Shi, who still only holds the title of the mother of the emperor, to the Qin state!

Is this an attempt to curry favor with the Qin state and demonstrate his loyalty to the King of Wei of Qin?

Yang Jiu's face was full of joy: "Wei Bao is really thoughtful. Just as Cai Yin said, Hedong is the most loyal place outside of Guanzhong."

The Qin Prime Minister's residence was immediately thrown into turmoil by the news sent by Wei Bao.

A noblewoman with the destiny of being the mother of the emperor—who says the reconstruction of the Qin state was without auspicious omens? Look, this is it!

And it was such a trump card right from the start.

The mother of the emperor is now King Qin Long.

Doesn't that mean that either Zhao Long or his next generation is destined to be the emperor?

The Book of Rites records that during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, people of that era were divided into the emperor, feudal lords, high officials, scholars, and commoners.

Above the feudal lords was the Son of Heaven. Under what circumstances did the Qin state claim the title of Son of Heaven and rebuild the Great Qin?

To reunify the eight wastelands and six directions once again!

This kind of direct auspicious omen is more startling than anything else!

Moreover, Wei Bao brought it over voluntarily.

The title of King of Wei of the Great Qin Dynasty is now firmly established.

At this moment, Zhao Long confirmed this fact: his previous guesses might all be true.

Wei Bao is no longer the purely fickle villain he was in history; instead, he has chosen a different path.

Zhao Long muttered to himself, "How did Wei Bao get bullied like this?"

Could it be that the last time we attacked Wei, we attacked too fiercely and Wei Bao bullied us to our heart's content?

However, the appearance of the Bo family also carries a very positive connotation.

Zhao Long said in a deep voice, "Spread the message."

Within the Qin state, this auspicious omen was not the primary need for complete unity of the people.

King Long of Qin is now a benchmark of public sentiment within the Qin state.

But at this critical juncture when the feudal lords of the world are attacking, it is unknown what their expressions will be after they learn that auspicious omens have entered Qin.

Zhao Long was pleasantly surprised by the Bo family's gifts, but the other items Wei Bao sent were equally impressive.

"Two hundred thousand catties of iron ore!"

This is what Zhao Long likes most right now: iron ore!

This is one of the foundations that makes the men of Qin so passionate!

To build an elite force that transcends eras, you absolutely need to create weapons and armor.

However, due to the limitations of the times, the current level of iron ore mining is still very small.

Qin's productivity had only recently recovered, and these iron ore deposits were equivalent to two or three months of Qin's mining output.

Zhang Cang excitedly said, "Yes, these iron mines are all Taiyuan concentrate, and the iron production is about 20 to 30 percent, which is enough to solve the urgent needs of our army."

The arrival of auspicious omens in Qin was certainly a cause for celebration. The tangible, visible, and immediate benefits that could strengthen the Qin state also brought immense joy to the pragmatic Qin officials who followed Zhao Long.

The technology of blast furnace ironmaking began to appear as early as the Spring and Autumn Period.

After unifying the country, the First Emperor discovered the usefulness of iron tools and established an iron official to be in charge of the mining and smelting of thirty-seven iron mines in the Qin Dynasty.

Now, with Qin Mo's return, the Qin Dynasty's iron-smelting capabilities have been further strengthened.

These iron ore stones are the iron armor worn by the soldiers and the iron swords in their hands!

Transform into a sturdy shield to protect soldiers, and a sharp blade to strike the enemy!

This is also why Zhao Long praised Wei Bao so highly!

Even the Qin state has limited iron ore mining capabilities, let alone the Wei state.

Even the large iron mines in Taiyuan and Shangdang can accommodate more people and be mined simultaneously.

It will certainly take Wei Bao longer than Qin State to mine such a large quantity of ore.

The Qin state's strength was not only in its military power, but also in its terrifyingly efficient official management system and personnel arrangements, where everyone performed their duties with extremely high efficiency.

Wei Bao sent so much iron ore at once, which probably represents most of Wei's current reserves.

If this isn't loyalty, what is it?

Yang Jiu couldn't help but laugh: "Next time we attack Wei, I can decide to give Wei Bao a chance to surrender!"

Among all the feudal lords in the land, countless people have the blood of the Qin people on their hands.

Not everyone is qualified to surrender to the Qin state.

Xiao He and the others took a deep breath, filled with shock.

The Qin state is truly powerful; even Wei Bao has become so submissive.

The Qin army was even already considering what would happen after the Battle of Hangu Pass.

Wei Bao's choice was absolutely crucial.

A quick glance at a map reveals that the core territory of the Wei Kingdom was once located in the heart of the Central Plains, specifically the area outside Hangu Pass.

If the Wei army chooses to side with the Qin state in the upcoming Battle of Hangu Pass, the allied forces of the world may not only be unable to break through Hangu Pass.

It's even possible that something really big is about to happen!

With the Wei army in the north and the Qin army in the west, they can form a defensive triangle.

This was an even greater blow to the Allied Forces, who were already facing immense difficulties in breaching Hangu Pass.

Once the Qin army halted the allied forces' offensive and held its ground in Guanzhong,

At that time, the Qin army will not simply be doing defense in this epic battle.

There is even a chance that, by leveraging the popularity of Wei in the Central Plains, they could quickly launch a counterattack against the allied forces of the world!

Xiao He muttered in disbelief, "Has the Qin state become so powerful without us even realizing it?"

To subdue the enemy without fighting—what a terrifying and awe-inspiring feat!

Xiao He wasn't the only one thinking this; Xu Mofu, who was accompanying Zhang Liang to visit the King of Qin, also had a look of shock in his eyes.

A year ago, when Prince Ziying of Qin surrendered, who could have imagined that Qin would become so glorious again?

At the construction site in Chang'an, Xu Mofu met his junior brother Zhang Liang, who was personally overseeing the construction of the Qin State Heroes Monument, and also met his father, whom he had wronged. In reality, he was working very hard to assist in the construction of Chang'an.

She was shocked, but also learned more about the current situation of the Qin state.

"impossible……"

The imperial star of Qin had long since dimmed, and the future of Qin was a deep abyss.

She had observed it long ago.

The only hope for Guanzhong should have been Liu Bang.
