When I was in Qin Dynasty, I really didn't want to make progress

They were once known for their beauty and charm, but now they had lost the charm of Zi Lan Xuan. They looked like ordinary women. Although they no longer wore red and green, the smiles on their faces were sincere, not like before.

If it were in the past, these women would have greeted Han Fei with a smile when they saw him appear, but this time when they saw Han Fei, they were still busy with their own things. This made Han Fei realize that he was not so welcome after all, or rather, Zi Lan Xuan only welcomed guests, not him, Han Fei.

"You really resigned as the general." Han Fei walked around the women and saw Yang Chong in the hall. Yang Chong, the general with the shortest tenure in Korean history, was packing a package at this time, and he was no different from the women packing their luggage outside the hall.

"If I don't decline, wouldn't that be breaking my promise?" Yang Chong replied after throwing a tied package to a charming woman beside him.

Han Fei's eyes swept over the woman. Although she was not very old, she was already very charming, especially with her long pink hair. Her childish appearance but extremely plump figure gave her a unique charm. There were not many women like her even in the whole of Korea.

Han Fei had a vague guess about the origin of this woman. She was from a farming family.

Thinking of this, Han Fei had to cooperate with Yang Chong's audacity. He actually dared to bring the woman of his enemy with him. If it were him, he would have felt his scalp turn cold. Of course, if this was used to say that Yang Chong was a lustful person who didn't care about his life, Han Fei would definitely not believe it.

Although this woman with long pink hair is beautiful, she is inferior to the other beauties in the Yang family.

"I never thought that you would fulfill your promise. I was just forced by the situation and had no choice but to trade with you. Compared with my bargaining chips, it's good enough to be able to exchange your efforts. As for the position of general, to be honest, I am prepared for you to go back on your word. You are better as the general than Ji Wuye." Han Fei said.

"So you didn't come here today to thank me, did you?" At this time, Yang Chong was surrounded by a myriad of beautiful people, but he was chatting with another man.

"No, thank you is worth nothing. I came here today because I have some doubts and hope to consult you in person." Han Fei said seriously.

He was very knowledgeable, and was able to do this because of his talent, but also because he had a curiosity far beyond that of ordinary people. He was curious about people, about mountains and rivers, about the world, and about time.

It was precisely because of his curiosity that he gave up his status as a prince and went to study at the Jixia Academy, just to be able to answer his curiosity through books and observation.

What he was curious about now was Yang Chong.

"Since we are friends, I can answer two of your questions today." Yang Chong said. He probably had guessed what Han Fei was going to ask, but it didn't matter anymore. Before leaving, Yang Chong didn't mind telling Han Fei some of the so-called truth.

After all, if he really took that path in the future and wanted to deal with the golden combination of Qin and King Zheng of Qin, the pressure he would face would be extraordinary. Fortunately, although Qin was full of talents and no one among the six countries could compete with it, Qin's talents were not invincible.

Although Wang Jian was powerful, Zhao also had Li Mu who could compete with him, as well as political masters like Lu Buwei and Li Si, and people like Xiao He and Zhang Liang were also strong. Although Meng Tian and Zhang Han would become great generals in the future, the Six Kingdoms also had Xiang Yu, who was unparalleled in the ages, and Han Xin, a military genius.

Although Yang Chong now only has martial arts skills, money, and no foundation, he can only be regarded as a common man with some strong martial arts skills in front of a powerful country like Qin. But if he has no chance at all, why should he go that way?

Compared with the spatial advantage of the Qin State, Yang Chong's identity as a time traveler gives him the temporal advantage. Compared with people of this era, Yang Chong can see through time and space. As a time traveler, this is his biggest golden finger.

Although Yang Chong did not have a country, he could use his advantages to recruit as many talents as possible until he had the power to compete with the Qin State or even defeat it.

Han Fei is the talent that Yang Chong has his eyes on. Although the Han Fei in this time and space is very different from the Han Fei in another time and space, he is still the world's top talent. What's more, he has the identity of a prince of Korea, so he can do great things in the future.

"I'm really flattered when you say that. Of course, the bigger reason is that you are confident." Han Fei looked at Yang Chong. At this moment, he seemed to have seen the truth he wanted to see.

"Did you take away the 50,000 gold coins that mysteriously disappeared in the case of the ghost soldiers robbing the payroll?" Han Fei asked his own question, but he did not use the words rob or steal. He was also worried about angering Yang Chong. After all, he came here today to ask Yang Chong for the truth, not to accuse him. If Yang Chong got angry and didn't tell him the answer, he would continue to be tormented by this question.

For someone like him, not having his curiosity satisfied is the cruelest form of punishment, and he will be tortured to exhaustion.

"Yes." Yang Chong admitted it directly in Han Fei's expectation.

"Is it really you? That's right, I should have thought of it earlier." Han Fei's expression was moved when he heard this, and for a moment he didn't know whether to be angry or relieved.

"Although Xinzheng is very big, there are only so many people. The only person who could snatch food from Ji Wuye's and my mouth without anyone noticing is you. I should have thought of it earlier. No, I did think of it, but I just have no evidence, so I can't confirm what I guessed." Han Fei smiled bitterly. His curiosity was satisfied, but then other emotions followed. However, he was not happy, and another kind of curiosity arose.

"I see that you are not a person who enjoys extravagance and luxury. Your hobbies are no different from those of ordinary people. What do you want to do with so much money? Do you want to use this money to restore your country? That would probably be a drop in the bucket." Han Fei asked again.

"The ones I like do not need so much money. As for restoring the country, this money is not enough, but they can allow me to gain a foundation for myself from the State of Zhao." Yang Chong said.

"What are you going to do?" Han Fei asked.

Just as Yang Chong thought that Han Fei's so-called powerful Han State was a fantasy, Han Fei also thought that it was a pipe dream for Yang Chong to revive Qi State and unite the strength of Yan and Zhao to compete with Qin State in the east and west.

"The current Prime Minister of Zhao State, Guo Kai, is connected with the Queen of Zhao and plays political games to please the king. He has a great influence in Zhao State, but he has no other advantages except greed for money and power." Yang Chong said.

In recent years, Zhao State suffered more defeats than victories in its wars with Qin State, but this does not mean that Zhao State's generals are inferior to Qin State's generals, nor that Zhao State's soldiers are less heroic than Qin State's soldiers. It is simply because Zhao State's national strength is insufficient and it is difficult to hold out against the Qin army for a long time.

Therefore, for decades, Zhao State has been thinking about attacking Yan State and Qi State in order to enhance its national strength, and Zhao State has indeed done so over the years. When they pushed their expansion to the limit in the northwest, their attention has been set on Qi State in the east and Yan State in the northeast. Over the past ten years, Zhao State has seized a lot of land from Qi and Yan States.

The most recent war was two years ago, when Zhao State captured Shangrao and other places in Qi State, expanding Zhao State's territory to the coast of the sea. Zhao State understood the principle of making up for the loss in the west with the loss in the east, and making up for the loss in the south with the loss in the north very well, just like Chu State in the past. If I can't beat Qin State, can't I beat Yue State?

"You are really far-sighted." Han Fei smiled, not sure whether he was truly impressed or just mocking him.

"If a man does not plan for the future, he will have immediate worries. In the chess game of the world, when it comes to foresight, I believe that no one in the world can surpass me." Yang Chong said confidently. In other aspects, Yang Chong needs to learn to be humble, but in this aspect, who dares not allow Yang Chong to show his prowess?

"I really don't know where your confidence comes from." Han Fei shook his head and laughed, then asked: "My second question, why did father agree to let you leave? So far, in the whole of South Korea, you are the most suitable person to be the general."

"Because he is mainly the general of the King of Han, not the general of the Kingdom of Han." Yang Chong said frankly that King Han An was not stupid, but he failed because of this. However, when cleverness and stupidity are mixed together, they will transform into something strange.

Intelligence allows him to use all kinds of means, while stupidity will make him care only about his own interests and ignore the country. A smart tyrant is more harmful to the country than a stupid one.

"You really see things clearly." Han Fei thought for a moment and could only say this.

"So Han is hopeless, and your ideals are doomed to fail." Yang Chong said, Han Fei and Han are doomed to be a tragedy. They don't have the military strength of Zhao, nor the position of Yan. Han Wangan is still a freak. What can they use to fight against Qin? Only relying on Han Fei and Wei Zhuang? That's simply ridiculous.

"If it's not difficult, why should I do it? Just like you, isn't your 'great cause' difficult? But will you give up?" Han Fei was very determined. He was an idealist.

“I did it because I was sure of success.”

"Am I not that?" Han Fei is no different from Yang Chong.

"That's true. I won't say much else. I will reserve a place for you here in the future, and you are always welcome to join me." There are still many people or things in South Korea that Yang Chong admires.

Han Fei is one of them, and the other is Zhang Liang. However, the two have noble identities, and Yang Chong has no confidence in recruiting them. But this does not prevent him from planning for the future, especially Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang before the country's demise and Zhang Liang after the country's demise are almost two different people.

"I'm going to say this to you too. Now I'm leaving. I wish you a safe journey to the State of Zhao." Han Fei, whose doubts were answered, did not stay long and left in a very cool manner.

"Young Master Jiu is a very interesting person." Zi Nu was directing several sisters to carry him out from the back hall. Seeing Han Fei's departing back, she was in a good mood and started to joke.

"It's also a scourge. How are you packing up your things?" Yang Chong said meaningfully.

"It's already packed. You don't have anything but money." Zi Nu said disdainfully. This house looks big, but it's not difficult to pack it up.

"It's troublesome to pack up too many things. Money is the easiest thing to take away, and of course the most useful." Yang Chong, the hands-off boss, knows this very well.

Although Yang Chong put a lot of thought into bringing Zi Nu into this home, it now seems that this is indeed a good deal. If Zi Nu hadn't helped him with the housework, whether it was him or Yan Lingji who had to take care of such a big house, it would have taken an unknown amount of time. Yan Lingji was not smart enough, and he did not have enough patience.

"The journey is long, so we need to prepare well." Zi Nu sighed.

They were about to leave Han and go to Zhao. Zi Nu was not unfamiliar with Zhao as she had been there before. But this time was different. Her identity and purpose were different.

"That's an interesting life!" There was more yearning in Yang Chong's expression. Perhaps he himself did not realize that he was a person who was unwilling to be ordinary. Although he always said that he was an ordinary person, he was indeed an ordinary person, but he had desires that far exceeded ordinary people.

It would be fine if he didn't have the opportunity, but now that he has the opportunity, he is unwilling to be ordinary.

Under the gazes of countless people, Yang Chong and his family left Xinzheng. Compared to the Yang family who had only two people when they came, their team when they left was much larger, with more women, more children, white-armored soldiers as guards, and of course the women of Zilanxuan.

The long convoy slowly disappeared in the outskirts of Xinzheng, but some people in Xinzheng had different thoughts.

"This deep palace is going to be lonely again." In King Han's palace, Lady Mingzhu, leaning against the window, sighed softly. The man who could conquer her finally left, and the most intense and heart-pounding story in her life was about to disappear.

"Men are always ambitious, but that's what makes them more lovable!" Madam Mingzhu said to herself, but in her heart she was looking forward to Yang Chong achieving his goal.

In the same palace, there is another woman with the same complicated thoughts as Lady Mingzhu. This woman who lost her virginity to Yang Chong due to some strange circumstances, now feels relieved after she is sure that Yang Chong has really left Korea.

"Finally gone." Concubine Hu muttered to herself. The thing she feared most would never happen again. This woman who belonged to the palace did not have any more extravagant hopes. She just wanted to live her life in peace, but in this era, this was a luxury.

"Separation is only for reunion. Now when we meet, I want to see your shocked and amazed eyes." Honglian was determined at this moment.

Chapter 188 I Go to Hebei

After leaving Xinzheng, the caravan headed all the way towards the State of Wei, eventually crossing the river in the State of Wei and entering the former State of Wei, now the territory of Dongjun of the Qin State.

Once upon a time, the territories of Wei and Zhao were connected, but since Qin occupied Dingtao and continued to expand along the river, and finally established Hedong County, Henei County and Dong County along the river, it became increasingly difficult for Wei and Zhao to connect.

When the Yang family entered the territory of Zhao State, it was already winter. When they passed the Great Wall in the southern border of Zhao State, snowflakes were already falling in Zhao State.

"This year is about to end, and we still have more than a year." In a luxurious and spacious carriage, Yang Chong said to the two women in the carriage while tending to the stove.

"What will happen in a year?" Zi Nu asked curiously. Yang Chong was often certain about the occurrence of certain things, and Yang Chong's predictions were not based on analysis of various experiences and information, but were more like prophecies.

Of course, Yang Chong was not as proficient in divination as those from the Yin-Yang School or Taoism, but he knew some things that were about to happen. This made Zi Nu very curious, and she wondered why Yang Chong knew about the future.

"When King Zheng of Qin smooths out the chaos within Qin and seizes power, Qin will launch a large-scale war. But right now, Han and Wei are already devastated and are not a concern. The only country that can contend with Qin is Zhao." Yang Chong said as he flipped through the information deep in his mind.

It is winter now. According to the Qin Dynasty's chronology, the ninth year of King Zheng of Qin has passed. Because of him, there is no rebellion by Lao Ai in this time and space. King Zheng of Qin only needs to capture Lu Buwei to seize power. At that time, Qin's war against Zhao will begin.

What's more important is that when Yang Chong left Xinzheng, he had already received news that Qin had sent envoys to Zhao. Yang Chong did not know why Qin sent envoys to Zhao at this time.

But Yang Chong knew that in the eleventh year of King Zheng of Qin, Zhao would send troops to attack Yan. But just when the Zhao army attacked Yan, Qin would suddenly send troops to attack Zhao with all its elite troops.

The people of Zhao attacked Yan and captured Liyang. Before the war was over, generals Wang Jian, Huan Xi, and Yang Duanhe attacked Zhao, attacked Ye, and captured nine cities. Wang Jian attacked Yanyu and Qiyang, and Huan Xi captured Ye and Anyang.

Why did Zhao send a large-scale army to attack Yan when Qin was watching from the sidelines? Why was the Qin army able to mobilize quickly and catch Zhao off guard when Zhao attacked Yan? The reasons are very intriguing, and these reasons could only happen in the tenth year of Qin Wangzheng.

In this war, Zhao was badly defeated, and then King Zhao Daoxiang died, and his son King Youmiao Qian was enthroned. The famous Queen Zhao Chang truly took control of the power of Zhao, which marked the beginning of the fall of Zhao.

In the following years, Qin focused on attacking Zhao. During this period, although Zhao won a great victory in the Battle of Fei, due to the gap in national strength, although it won more than it lost, it became weaker and weaker. Finally, in the face of natural disasters and man-made disasters, Zhao broke its own Great Wall. Finally, in the 19th year of King Zheng of Qin, Zhao was destroyed by Qin.

And these ten years were the time Yang Chong used to establish his foundation.

"So the war between Qin and Zhao is your chance?" Zi Nu asked.

"Yes, the land of Shangrao in Qi, plus a part of the land in Yan, is enough for me to gain a foothold. Then, I can take advantage of the domestic changes in Zhao and borrow the power of Zhao to form an army. Then, I can put my best skills into practice." Yang Chong said confidently.

In Korea, he was a dragon crossing the river. What role would he play in Zhao, Qi and even Yan? Yang Chong was looking forward to it.

"Isn't sweet talk what you are best at? Do you still want to take down Queen Zhao?" Yan Lingji, who had been sitting next to Yang Chong but had not been able to get a word in, seized the opportunity and stabbed Yang Chong in the heart with a knife.

Along the way, she and Zi Nu rode in the same carriage with Yang Chong, but Yang Chong had been talking to Zi Nu about complicated issues, and she couldn't get a word in. But she was not as dull as Niu Shang, so she had been feeling very depressed, but she couldn't get a word in. This time, she finally got the chance, so how could she let it go.

"Huh? Yan Lingji is so smart? Why didn't I think of that Queen Zhao will be a widow soon, and she seems to be from a prostitute family, so she shouldn't be a decent woman. After King Zhao Yan dies, maybe I can hook up with this pretty widow." Facing Yan Lingji's ridicule, Yang Chong said excitedly, as if he had heard some great advice.

"Ah?!" Yan Lingji was stunned. What did she say just now? Why did Yang Chong take it seriously?

Could it be that I was not mocking him just now, but was really giving him advice? And when did I become so powerful? Yan Lingji fell into confusion, she could not keep up with Yang Chong's train of thought.

"You're really stupid." Zi Nu looked at the opponent in front of her and didn't know what to say for a moment. He looked smart, but when he was stupid, he was cute.

When it comes to the word cute, Zi Nu was slightly stunned. Could it be that Yan Lingji did it on purpose?

But is she really so scheming? Zi Nu analyzed, but her eyes inadvertently fell on Yan Lingji's chest, which was very broad, very tall, and naturally very deep.

Yan Lingji noticed Zi Nu's gaze and subconsciously straightened her chest. In this respect, she was not afraid of anyone, even though Zi Nu was older than her.

Looking at the smug Yan Lingji, Zi Nu's lips drooped slightly, but she turned her head away. She felt that she was becoming more and more stupid for having such an illusion just now.

"The Queen of Zhao will be a woman who has absolute influence on the State of Zhao in the future. Although she is not capable of accomplishing things, she is definitely capable of causing trouble. Our plan really cannot avoid this woman." Yang Chong said.

If the whole of Zhao State was truly of one mind, then Yang Chong would have to change his target. On the contrary, the darker the internal situation in Zhao State, the more opportunities Yang Chong would have. Taking advantage of the situation would be most beneficial to him who needed to start from scratch.

"So you are really going to do it?" Zi Nu's face moved slightly. She heard a hint of possibility from Yang Chong's words. It's not like Yang Chong has never done such things as seducing widows before. He has a criminal record.

"Not really, not really. I have more suitable partners in Zhao State." Yang Chong denied. Queen Zhao Chang had a bad reputation. Although Yang Chong did not have any mysophobia, he did not have such a good appetite that he was not picky about food.

"Is that the Guo Kai you just mentioned?" Zi Nu followed Yang Chong's train of thought.

"It is this famous and peerless general." Yang Chong smiled. In this era, there are heroes from all walks of life, but also weirdos from all walks of life. Among all the weirdos, Guo Kai is definitely among the top. It is not for nothing that he is the fifth among the four famous generals of the State of Zhao.

"A peerless general? Guo Kai? As far as I know, Guo Kai doesn't seem to be able to fight." Zi Nu said in surprise.

People like Guo Kai are famous among the various countries, and Zi Nu, who is well-informed, naturally knows this person. According to the intelligence she has, Guo Kai is clever and played a significant role in the process of King Yan of Zhao ascending the throne, but if you say that he has any great talent and strategy, I am afraid he does not have it. Not to mention Lu Buwei of Qin, he is not even as good as Chunshen Jun of Chu.

As for the title of famous general? That is even more nonsense.

"Guo Kai can't fight, but he can defeat famous generals. On the battlefield, he may not be able to kill an ordinary soldier, but in the court, he can kill real famous generals. Have you forgotten how Lian Po escaped from Zhao State?" Yang Chong laughed as he spoke. In this era, although there are many weird people, there are not many as weird as Guo Kai. It can be said that he has fully experienced the diversity of biological species.

"Lian Po was suspected by Zhao Wangyan and had to go into exile. You mean..." Zi Nu was very smart. After Yang Chong's reminder, she understood it immediately and laughed, "That's true. Guo Kai is indeed extraordinary. The general who made Qin State use sovereign tactics to achieve its goal was forced into exile by Guo Kai. His ability is indeed extraordinary."

"This is just the beginning of his legend." Yang Chong said, Lian Po is just the beginning of Guo Kai's brilliant achievements, and in the future there will be Li Mu's achievements.

Li Mu, who had defeated the Qin army for several years, was eventually killed by Guo Kai, causing the State of Zhao to destroy its own Great Wall and eventually be destroyed by the State of Qin. Guo Kai's ability to bring disaster to the country and the people was unique at that time.

"So Guo Kai is our chance?" Zi Nu understood in a trance.

"Yes, this man has no country in his heart, only personal gain. He is greedy for money. He even dares to accept money from Qin. Isn't this our opportunity? You know, we don't have much now, but this money, which is quite a lot. I will use millions of gold to gain the benefit of one place. If it is somewhere else, it may not work, but in Zhao, with the help of Guo Kai, it will surely succeed." Yang Chong planned very well. The chaos within Zhao was his opportunity.

"It seems that I was worrying too much. You have already planned every step." Zi Nu was speechless for a moment.

"A plan is just a plan. Whether it can be implemented in the end still requires our careful execution. The hard work will depend on you, Zinu, and of course, Yan Lingji." As Yang Chong spoke, he opened the car window. It was snowing heavily outside, and the capital of Zhao, Handan, was approaching.

……

The capital of Zhao State, Handan.

Prime Minister's Mansion.

Guo Kai was nearly forty years old at this time and had served as the Prime Minister of Zhao State for several years. The little follower who used to be only able to follow Gongzi Yan around to walk the dog and fight cocks was no longer as humble as before, but had a graceful demeanor.

As the saying goes, "Occupy your position and cultivate your energy." This is almost the same principle.

"Have you found out the origin of this wealthy guest from Handan?" Guo Kai, who was leaning against the red carpet, stroked his moustache and was very interested in the rich man who caused quite a stir in Handan today.

Because the man was so rich, the first thing he did after entering Handan was to buy a big house. The house once belonged to Lian Po, and it fell into his hands after Lian Po left.

The house was very big. After all, Lian Po was the chief military general in Zhao State at that time. He had a respected status and was highly trusted by the King of Zhao. The house he lived in was also a mansion rewarded by the King of Zhao, which was worth a lot of money.

After Guo Kai used some means to obtain the house, he had been thinking about selling it. However, in the entire Zhao State, no one who could afford the house would sell it, and those who wanted to sell it could not afford it. Therefore, Guo Kai, who had not been able to sell it at a good price, could only continue to hold the house in his hands.
