I am already immortal, why should I ascend to become an immortal?

Chapter 256: Leading a horse to patrol the streets, Xiao Luoyang was transformed from Qi to Qin; Jin Chan gave Sun Bin two choices (6k)

Sun Bin.

Ying Lou had heard others mention this person more than once, and even the previous king had mentioned him several times when he was alive.

He is the best and only disciple of Guiguzi in the world.

Although he is over 50 years old, his life has been quite tortuous.

In his early years, he was deceived by his fellow student Pang Juan and taken to the State of Wei, where he was sentenced to amputation and had his patellas removed.

However, he was lucky enough to escape to Qi with the help of Qi State and became a retainer of Tian Ji.

During the Ying Chu period, Zhao and Wei went to war. Sun Bin used the strategy of "besieging Wei to save Zhao" to save Zhao and thus destroyed Pang Juan's victory.

A few years later, Qi and Wei went to war.

Sun Bin led his troops to the battle and designed an ambush to lure Pang Juan into it. He eventually wiped out hundreds of thousands of Wei troops at Maling Road, forcing Pang Juan to draw his sword and commit suicide.

From then on, Sun Bin was the only disciple of Guiguzi who came out into the world.

In terms of ability to govern a country, Sun Bin is not much inferior to Lu Buwei.

In terms of diplomatic politics, he is no less capable than Lord Chang Ling.

In terms of the application of military tactics alone, he is on the same level as the four famous generals of the Central Plains.

He can be described as an all-round talented person.

The reason why Tian Jian was so extravagant and licentious, and yet the State of Qi was still one of the Seven Kingdoms, was because of Sun Bin's good governance.

"Sun Bin, this person is quite interesting, I would like to meet him."

Jin Chan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said softly.

After the sky completely turned into night.

Bai Macuo was ordered to lead two thousand elite light cavalry, dressed in black clothes and covering the horses with black cloth. In order not to alarm the enemy, he even divided the team into five groups and marched separately.

At this time, on the other side of the hill.

Sun Bin, sitting in a wheelchair, suddenly felt inexplicably nervous, so he called his students to ask whether the Qin army had entered the city.

"Teacher, the Qin army has entered Liaocheng."

"After sunset, did the other party make any moves?"

"Teacher, it's still dark and I can't see clearly."

The student's words made Sun Bin feel more uneasy.

Although this time they were ordered by the King of Qi to negotiate peace with the Qin army, it was not an easy task.

First, the Qi army lost 1.6 million soldiers at Hangu Pass, then the capital Linzi was destroyed, and then there was a sudden famine.

The State of Qi is now in a state of misfortune and is trapped both internally and externally.

Moreover, the Qin State is a powerful country that is ready to send troops to the six countries and sweep across the world. I am afraid that peace talks will be even more difficult.

During the days on the way to the border.

After thinking for a long time, Sun Bin decided to abandon Liaocheng and test the attitude of the Qin army.

If this person is cruel and massacres the people after entering the city, there is no possibility that the Qin army will change its mind about destroying Qi.

Rather than going there to die in vain, it is better to return to Linzi and deploy anti-Qin strategies as soon as possible.

However, this time the anti-Qin
"Alas, Your Majesty was bewitched by Lü Buwei and Lord Chang Ling. If you had listened to me earlier, Da Qi wouldn't be in such a difficult situation now."

Sun Bin touched the place where his legs were bent, then lowered his head and sighed helplessly.

Now, the King of Qi not only does not dislike my useless body, but also entrusts the important affairs of the state to me. I have to repay this great kindness.

"Report! Sir, something bad has happened. There is a sudden fire at the foot of the mountain, and there are shouting sounds. It seems to be the Qin army."

Just as Sun Bin was sighing, an accompanying general suddenly shouted.

"Qin army?"

Sun Bin was suddenly surprised. His hiding place was extremely secret, and he hadn't even lit a fire or started a stove in the past few days. How could the Qin army find him?
"Did he just happen to pass by, or did he come here on purpose?"

Sun Bin asked.

"Sir, the other party must know that you are here. They seem to want to invite you to Liaocheng for a chat!"

Hearing this, Sun Bin pressed his hand to ask everyone to be quiet, and then listened carefully to the shouts of the Qin army at the foot of the mountain.

"Sun Bin, I am the general of the Bai Family Army, Bai Macuo, and I am following the order of General Jin to invite you to Liaocheng for a talk."

At this time, Bai Macuo at the foot of the mountain asked a thousand people to shout and pass messages at the same time, and asked another thousand people to sneak up the mountain in the dark.

Although betting is betting.

But if Sun Bin had really set up an ambush here in advance, he couldn't just watch his brothers die in vain.

"Hold ten more times. If no one responds, the entire army will charge up the mountain."

Bai Macuo gave orders to his adjutant.

But as soon as the order was given, a reply came from the mountain.

"I am Sun Bin of Qi State, Sun Boling. Since General Jin has invited me, I will go down the mountain and accompany you to Liaocheng."

Sun Bin on the mountain looked at the dozen or so men under his command. Except for four or five generals, most of them were his students who could not wield a sword. In addition, the national teacher Zhao Guizhen had already run away to who knows where. He had no choice but to respond.

"General, Miss Luoyang seems to have won."

Upon hearing this, the adjutant turned around and said to Bai Macuo.

"Humph, you have followed me for so many years. What kind of person is Sun Bin? What if this is his plan?"

"Tell the brothers to be careful and don't be careless."

Bai Ma gave the adjutant a wrong look.

It’s not that Bai Ma can’t afford to lose, but Sun Bin’s reputation is well-known, so it’s always right to be cautious.

After a while.

I saw a few young men who looked like scholars, pushing a wooden wheelchair, slowly walking down the slope.

"Are you Sun Bin?"

Bai Macuo stared at Sun Bin, who had disabled legs in the wheelchair and asked.

But I’m not sure in my heart whether this Miss Luoyang can really predict the future.
"Yes, General, please take me to see General Jin."

Sun Bin bowed and saluted. Although he was surrounded by enemy troops, he was not at all panicked.

"Back to the city!"

An hour later, Bai Macuo brought Sun Bin back to the City Defense Mansion in Liaocheng.

At this time, Jin Chan had already set up a big stove and was roasting a fat sheep and stewing broth.

There were also a few jugs of good wine.

The smell of meat made the empty stomachs of the people outside the mansion growl, and they were all drooling.

If the Qin army hadn't been guarding the gate, this group of people would have rushed in long ago.

"Sir, please."

Jin Chan sat on a small stool, raised his chin slightly, and stretched out his hand to make an inviting gesture.

Xiao Luoyang on the side gave Bai Macuo a "bad look", then took out two empty bowls and filled them with wine.

"Miss Luoyang, I am convinced. Tomorrow morning, at sunrise, I will lead your horse and patrol the streets, bare-chested and carrying a thorn on my back."

Bai Macuo is also a man who can afford to lose. Since Luoyang has this ability, it means that he was too reckless before.

Isn't it just walking bare-chested, carrying a thorn on his back, and leading a horse through the streets?

His father Bai Qi once taught him that a general who makes mistakes without realizing it is a foolish general who can only charge into the enemy ranks but cannot command troops.

"Then I'll trouble you tomorrow, General Bai. I'll be waiting for you at the gate of the City Guard Mansion at sunrise."

Xiao Luoyang smiled slightly, put his hands on his left leg, then bowed and replied.

There was no politeness in his words.

After Bai Macuo left.

Jin Chan cut off a leg of lamb for Sun Bin and placed it on the table.

"Sir, with your talent, why do you want to stay with Tian Jian? Qi has no future and is not a place for you to realize your ambitions."

"General, you are joking. I am just a useless person. If I am lucky enough to be appreciated by the King of Qi, I will repay him with my life."

Sun Bin glanced at the leg of lamb on the table but didn't pick it up.

After eating dry food for nearly twenty days in a row, there was no oil or water left in his stomach. However, when he thought of the famine in Qi, he really didn't want to enjoy the meat from Qin alone.

"For the King of Qi?"

Jin Chan snorted lightly, his tone slightly disdainful.

"It seems that you are much more shallow than I thought, sir. You are willing to sacrifice the people of an entire city just to test my tolerance, for a country with a corrupt government and incompetent children from aristocratic families in power, and for a king who is licentious, immoral, and extravagant."

After Jin Chan finished speaking, he picked up a piece of mutton, put it in his mouth and started chewing it.

"General, you are joking. I think you are a great general and not a bloodthirsty person. Didn't you spare the lives of the 200,000 people in Liaocheng?"

Although I heard that in the Battle of Hangu Pass, the Chu army killed 1.6 million people from Qi.

But Sun Bin knew clearly that this was definitely a plan of the Qin State, in order to cut off the Qi-Chu alliance's path to resist the Qin State.

Originally it was thought that the Qin general who would attack Qi this time might be an extremely cruel person, but now it seems that not only is there hope for peace talks, there is even hope for the two countries to reconcile.

"Keep them? Who said I was going to save their lives?"

"There are 200,000 people in Liaocheng. Now their families have no food, their fields are barren and they will starve to death sooner or later. Why should I massacre them?"

Although Jin Chan did not intend to massacre the people of Liaocheng, he also had no plans to provide them with food and porridge.

If these people dare to rob in the future, the Jin family army will kill them.

"General, I am willing to sacrifice my life in exchange for the friendship between Qi and Qin. Qi is also willing to send five cities on the western border, 300,000 taels of gold, 300 boxes of jade and precious stones, and buy grain from Qin at five times the price."

Although Tian Jian instructed Sun Bin to go to Lü Buwei to buy grain, but Sun Bin knew that now that the two countries were at war, it was simply a pipe dream to bypass the King of Qin and buy grain from Lü Buwei.

Moreover, Lü Buwei purchased a large number of red deer from the State of Qi for this day.

"Your life? Haha."

"Although I intend to let you enter Qin, my Great Qin is not without capable people. If you are willing to come, I will naturally welcome you. If you are not willing, I will behead you in the busy streets of Liaocheng tomorrow."

Although Jin Chan said it lightly, Sun Bin was shocked when he heard it.

It was not because Sun Bin valued his life, but because he felt that the 20-year-old young man in front of him was too decisive.

The chances of persuading such a person with words being successful are slim.

"General, more than 1.6 million Qi people have died in the battle, and there is a famine. If the Qin army continues to attack Qi, millions of Qi people will die."

The current Qi State has only about 200,000 soldiers.

Even if they were to recruit soldiers temporarily, they would only be old and young.

Due to famine and unilateral suicide, Qi had almost no chance of winning this battle.

"What do the people of Qi have to do with me? The Qin will destroy Qi. This is a foregone conclusion. However."

Jin Chan suddenly changed the subject, which gave Sun Bin a glimmer of hope.

"However, if Qi voluntarily surrenders to Qin, then our Great Qin will certainly not allow the Qin people to die of famine."

Sun Bin originally thought that there would be a turn for the better in the peace talks, but he did not expect that Jin Chan actually wanted Qi to surrender.

Then he occupied the vast territory of Qi without losing a single soldier.

"We Qi people are proud, and the blood debt of 1.6 million people at Hangu Pass, not to mention that the king will not agree, we Qi people will never agree to it."

Sun Bin was a little annoyed, but he also knew that no matter how much he said, it would not shake Jin Chan at all. It seemed that a war between Qin and Qi was inevitable.

"Arrogant? The kings of the Tian clan have been extremely licentious, and the Tian clan has used up all the wealth of the country to indulge in extravagance. The people at the bottom have been oppressed for generations. With such a king ruling the country, you actually think the people will work hard for him?"

Jin Chan was very disdainful and even wondered in his heart whether Sun Bin's loyalty was just a false reputation.

"General, you are not from Qi, so how can you know the loyalty of the people of Qi? Qi will not surrender, not only our king will not surrender, but also the people will not surrender."

Since Sun Bin said this, he was aware of his own death.

"Haha, the people won't surrender. What a joke! The people won't surrender. This is really ridiculous."

"Sun Bin, I will show you how these 200,000 people in Liaocheng are willing to submit to our Great Qin."

Jin Chan laughed a few times, then called the soldiers on guard and took Sun Bin and his students to a side house in the city guard's mansion.

Although Sun Bin is a man of great talent, there is a huge gap between Qin and Qi. Their national strength, military power, and even the people's hearts are all very different.

This time, when attacking Qi, Jin Chan wanted more than just Tian Jian's life and the land of Qi.

Jin Chan's goal is to integrate these millions of Qi people into the Qin Dynasty.

The unification of the six kingdoms not only unified their territories, but also the tens of millions of people in the Central Plains.

The same track for vehicles, the same writing for books, the same ethics for people, the same land, the same weights and measures, the same shape for currency, and the same ethnicity; none of them can be missing.

And this same ethnic group represents the unity of culture and race.

At that time, the world will belong to Qin, and everyone will be Qin people. There will no longer be any distinction between Qi, Chu, Zhao, Han, Wei, and Tang.

Early the next morning.

While the Golden Cicada was sleeping, Ying Lou was still reviewing memorials thousands of miles away.

At this time, Xiao Luo had already changed into a bright and beautiful white skirt, and was waiting for Bai Macuo at the gate of the City Guard's Mansion while leading the white dragon horse.

I even dressed up a little for this morning's event.

She has lost some of her playfulness and looks more mature.

"Ms. Luoyang, I'm late."

I saw the white horse coming towards me with bare arms and a thick layer of thorns on its back.

Although he hadn't started patrolling the streets yet, traces of blood were already running down his back.

"General Bai, you don't need the bramble. You just need to lead my horse and patrol the streets for me, and then do a few small things."

Xiao Luoyang stretched out his fingers, gently touched the sharp thorns on the bramble, and said with a frown.

"Miss, there is no reason for the Bai family army to deny defeat. Since we made a bet with you, you must carry this thorn."

Bai Macuo seemed to have misunderstood what he meant and quickly refused.

"General Bai, you misunderstood. This is Qi territory. As a general of the Great Qin, how could you do something that would humiliate the dignity of the Qin army?"

"This time I'm patrolling the streets not for the purpose of gambling, but because I have a few things to do. If I succeed, perhaps the Qin State can take over Qi without much trouble."

In fact, the white horse returned by mistake last night, and Xiao Luoyang's prestige was established.

As for why Bai Ma was allowed to lead the horse for patrol in the streets, it was for other reasons.

This was what she had discussed with Jin Chan last night.

Can we take over the Central Plains country without any effort?
Bai Ma swallowed his saliva in surprise, unable to speak a word.

If Bai Ma Cuo had not been convinced of defeat last night, he would probably not have listened to such absurd talk.

"Just as the lady ordered."

Say it.

Bai Macuo obediently took off the brambles on his back, put on his armor again, and took the reins of the white dragon colt.

I don’t know what happened today. This usually irritable white dragon horse actually let an outsider hold its reins today.

"Big White Horse, I'll trouble you later."

Touching Bailongju's horse face, Xiao Luoyang said gently.

"Little girl, if you become a fairy in the future and go to that damn heavenly palace, don't forget what you promised me!"

"Also, I am a fairy horse, a fairy horse. From now on, you can just call me Master Fairy Horse."

The white dragon horse grunted twice, then opened its mouth and spoke.

But only Xiao Luoyang could hear these words.

"Okay, Master White Horse, I will definitely not forget it."

Xiao Luoyang smiled, and his smile was very relaxed.

After explaining some things to Bai Ma Cuo, another hour passed.

"Let's go patrol the streets."

The white dragon colt bent its front legs, and after little Luoyang climbed up, it looked up to the sky and let out a dragon roar that shook the sky.

And at this time.

On the streets of Liaocheng, there are no bare trees and no chickens or dogs barking in any household.

Among the hungry people, most were the elderly, the weak, the young, and women, all of whom looked pale and thin.

Either they were bending over or sitting on the floor.

He looked lifeless, and just hoped someone would have pity on him.

Sudden.

I saw a huge creature walking down the street, the sunlight shining on its back, shining like dragon scales.

Although the sun was shining brightly in the morning, the pair of dragon horns on its head emitted a scorching white light, and its four hooves were stepping on small clusters of red clouds.

White flames were still spewing out of his two nostrils, with wisps of lightning hanging next to the flames.

"Isn't this General Qin's strange horse? It was just tall and strange yesterday, but why did it suddenly become like this today? Could it be that this is really a lucky beast from heaven that has descended to earth?"

"Nonsense, the Qin State is brutal. If the Qin general has this auspicious beast, doesn't it mean that the Qin State is following the will of heaven to attack Qi?"

The crowd started talking about it.

Some of them were idle people who were bribed by the soldiers of the Bai family army with half a bag of rice.

These words were naturally what the Bai family army had just taught them.

The first round of the patrol is over.

Rumors spread in Liaocheng that Jin Chan was an immortal who had descended to earth and that the Qin State was attacking Qi on behalf of the Heaven.

The second round of the street patrol.

The white dragon horse slowed down.

Little Luoyang sat on the horse and began to lobby on his own.

"The King of Qin can donate thousands of miles of national fortune. Now the Qin country is peaceful and fertile, the people are well-fed and well-clothed, and every family has more than 150 stone of grain in stock."

"The twenty-merit system allows the son of a commoner to be ranked above the imperial court and enjoy the honor of being a marquis or a prime minister."

"The first-class public official has an annual salary of 50 shi, one hectare of land, one house, and one servant."

"The 19th Guannei Hou has an annual salary of 950 dan, and is granted 1,000 acres of good farmland and a city as a fief."

Second lap.

Xiao Luoyang began to loudly publicize the advantages of Qin law, saying that even a commoner or a beggar's son would have the hope of making a name for himself in Qin.

As for the other six countries, one might earn military pay by killing enemies in battle, but the common people would always be common people, unlike those who were born into royal families or noble families.

Especially in Qi.

The Tian clan not only controlled the court, but also imposed heavy taxes on the people.

The rest of the nobles infiltrated merchants, grain routes, the military, salt fields, and various other things, squeezing out the little remaining oil and water.

Even the schools opened by Confucian masters gave priority to the farming families and then to the nobles.

Moreover, as common people, the Tian family's side branches were superior to them.

Ordinary families either grow crops or join the army.

However, less than 30% of the food can be retained, and even if you kill 10,000 enemies, you cannot become a general of a thousand men.

Maybe there will be one or two people who can turn things around, but they are extremely rare.

So when Xiao Luoyang said this, it resonated with the people of Liaocheng.

Although they still considered themselves to be members of Qi, their empty stomachs and pent-up resentment had begun to subconsciously shake their hearts.

The third round of the street patrol.

Behind the white dragon colt, there were two long rows of Qin troops.

The Qin soldiers stood shoulder to shoulder and foot to foot, holding spears with the tips pointing to the sky. Their faces were solemn and inviolable, making people feel terrified and suffocated from ten feet away.

Such a group of tigers and wolves should be the strongest army in the world.

Not to mention that Qi had 1.6 million soldiers buried in Hangu Pass, even if Qi had sufficient troops and horses at the moment, it would probably be difficult to defeat the enemy in one charge.

Xiao Luoyang continued to speak.

"In the Battle of Hangu Pass, Chu and Tang broke their promise to attack Qin, but King Tian Jian of Qi turned his spearhead against our Great Qin and mobilized the best troops in the Central Plains to bring down a plague at Hangu Pass. Everyone's skin rotted and their flesh rotted. They couldn't see, hear, smell, or touch."

"If it weren't for Qin Youtian's immortal general, General Jinchan, who saved the disaster with his own strength, I'm afraid this plague would have already ravaged Liaocheng, and none of you would have survived."

"Qi's Central Plains best soldier, Quail Sky, requires the fate and good deeds of the Tian family. No matter if it is a clan or a branch, as long as Tian Jian uses Quail Sky, the Tian family will suffer bad luck, weakening health, and frequent accidents. The worst case is that the whole body melts into blood and rots, and the person dies an unnatural death, with all his souls and seven spirits shattered."

As soon as these words were spoken, the people on the street immediately began to whisper to each other.

Although Liaocheng is not big, it is not small either. It is an important border city of Qi State.

There are at least three to four thousand members of the Tian family's branch living here, but most of them died inexplicably a few dozen days ago.

At first they thought it was just an accident, but now after listening to Xiao Luoyang's words, they realized that the reason why the Tian royal family gave birth to so many children among the people was that they used them all as nourishment for Queqiaotian.

If people of the same bloodline can be treated like this, then the other common people will probably become lambs and straw dogs.

Looking at the eyes of the people around him, there was a hint of hatred.

Xiao Luoyang smiled slightly.

Although the people of Qi are now in dire straits.

However, if one wants to persuade them to return to Qin, it is not something that can be explained in just a few words. One needs to first intensify the hatred and contradictions among the people of Qi, and then induce them step by step, using both kindness and force.

The first round of the parade was to demonstrate the power of heaven, with the white dragon horse as the Qin army's main general Jin Chan, with a layer of divinity attached to it.

The second round of patrolling the streets was to talk about the goodness of the Qin State, so that these hungry people would instinctively be shaken in their hearts.

As for the third circle, it was to demonstrate national power and give the people a feeling that Qin was invincible, and then transfer all the suffering and contradictions to the King of Qi and the two countries of Chu and Tang.

After three laps.

The white dragon colt suddenly roared, leaped with its hooves, and "flew" to the east gate of Liaocheng.

Originally, Xiao Luoyang was planning to try to transform Qi into Qin today, but after Jin Chan's analysis last night, he gave up the idea.

"Big brother is right. Only when people are hungry will conflicts quickly erupt and they are prone to act impulsively. Although Liaocheng is short of food now, it is not hungry enough."

After touching the white dragon colt's face, little Luoyang slipped off the horse's back.

At this time, in front of the city gate, Jin Chan and Sun Bin were sitting on both sides of a wooden table.

The table was piled high with all kinds of delicious meats and fine wines.

"Sir, today I give you two choices, to destroy Tian or to destroy Qi, you choose!"

　These days, I go to bed at 6 or every day. I try to update k for a while. (I try to reach the end of the month, I try), I beg you to subscribe, I beg you.
