After being choked to death by a copper coin, she became a demon Jin Ji in the other world

At the moment when the Yaodao Ji (Qin) army arrived, Liu Yao, who was giving a pre-war speech and preparing to charge with 30,000 Hun cavalry, was instantly shocked.

In the eyes of Liu Yao and other Huns, those 100,000 Yaodao Ji (Qin) were not an army that could fight, but a pile of military rations and a tool for venting their desires!

The Huns, who originally had low morale, instantly became more motivated after the appearance of the Demon Sword Princess. So many [two-legged sheep] were enough for them to eat for a long time.

[My fellow Xiongnu, look! The enemy is sending us military rations. There are so many "Buxiyang" sheep. We can have one each!]

【Oh!!!】×30000

[Two-legged sheep] refers to people who are eaten as food. It was mentioned in the Song Dynasty's "Jiliebian" by Zhuang Chuo: Old and thin men are called [Rao Bahuo]; young women are called [Bu Xian Yang]; children are called [He Gu Lan], and are generally called [Two-legged Sheep].

The cavalry force, which originally consisted of only 30,000 men, quickly swelled to 100,000 under the temptation of the "Two-legged Sheep", but most of them were still infantry, and the cavalry force was still only the 30,000 to 40,000 men under Liu Yao.

When Shen Yuelan heard them being called "two-legged sheep", she was already indignant. She knew why the enemy was so excited, it was nothing more than the female appearance of the demon sword princesses.

Shen Yuelan lived in a peaceful era in her previous life. She had no idea what kind of pain her ancestors who died tragically in the war-torn years had experienced.

She was also powerless to change the past history, but now she had an opportunity, an opportunity to avenge them. This opportunity was right in front of her. If she could not seize this opportunity, she would be unworthy of being a Chinese for the rest of her life.

[My fellow men, the enemy is not a demon, but it is worse than a demon; it is not a ghost, but it is worse than a ghost. They regard our brothers and sisters as two-legged sheep, old and thin men as spare fire, women and children as not envious of sheep, and children and grandchildren as rotten bones! ]

[Hell is empty, and the devils are on earth. Do you dare to stand shoulder to shoulder with me today to send the evil ghosts to hell and the dead into reincarnation? ]

【It is what I wish for!!】×100000

【kill! 】

【Kill!!!】×100000

Shen Yuelan's cavalry unit rushed out first and fought with the Hun cavalry who also rushed over. One side represented desire and the other side was full of hatred. As soon as the two sides met, they knew that the other side was the one they must kill, so this battle was particularly brutal.

Most of the more than a thousand cavalrymen under Shen Yuelan's command died in the first encounter. Shen Yuelan had nothing to complain about this. After all, the number of people was there, and the fact that half of them were still alive showed the superb riding skills of the Shen Ce Army.

Fortunately, Shen Yuelan did not expect this group of Shen Ce Army to achieve any merits, and the Huns on the opposite side did not seem to take Shen Yuelan's more than a thousand cavalrymen seriously at all. After breaking through the cavalry line, they continued to charge without any reluctance.

The target was naturally the army formation of the Demon Sword Princesses (Qin). Seeing that the enemy cavalry was about to rush to the front of the formation, Shen Yuelan did not care about the Shen Ce Army that was still marching not far away, and directly summoned Ying Zigui to the formation and asked her to command the entire army to fight.

As a commander born from the Yaodao Ji (Qin) Legion, Ying Zigui's control over the Yaodao Ji (Qin) Legion is second only to the sisters Shen Yuelan and Shen Sushang.

As soon as she entered the army, she was like a latent dragon entering the sea, a tiger entering the mountains, and she was able to take to the water and control the army with ease. In Ying Zigui's eyes, there was no need for so many demon sword ladies to fight against a mere 100,000 Huns.

Under the command of Ying Zigui, the 30,000 demon sword girls (Qin) in the front army gradually separated from the main force. They would be the ones to fight against the coming storm. Facing those obscene and greedy eyes, they showed no fear.

Under the command of Ying Zigui, the Demon Sword Princesses (Qin) moved in unison as if they were one person. The moment they raised their swords at the same time, a huge red demon sword appeared on the army formation. It was the embodiment of the Demon Sword Princesses' (Qin) military souls.

Seeing this, Shen Yuelan, who was still having fun in the Huns' infantry formation, knew that Ying Zigui was going to use a big move, so she immediately withdrew from the battlefield with the remaining one hundred or so cavalrymen of the Shen Ce Army.

As Shen Yuelan left, the red demon sword was swiftly swung out in the horrified eyes of Liu Yao and others. In a flash, the tens of thousands of Hun troops remaining on the battlefield turned to dust and dirt, without leaving any trace.

Shen Yuelan stood on a hill in the distance with a face full of resentment. She was not sad for those damned Huns, but for her horses! Thirty thousand war horses were gone just like that. What a pity.

Apart from the Huns, I don't know where other Hu people can find so many and such good war horses. It's sad.

As the news of Liu Yao's death came, almost every Hu people in Chang'an city felt insecure. Those who had a bit of brains all fled to the west gate with light luggage, trying to escape from this place of trouble.

The Zhao court, which was immersed in the joy of destroying the Jin Dynasty the previous moment, suddenly became turbulent.

In the Jin Dynasty's palace, Liu Cong, who had been full of vigor and vitality not long ago, now looked at the ministers below the stage with a dejected look. The 100,000 troops that Liu Yao led out of the city were all the elite troops of his Zhao State. When Liu Cong heard the news that they had all been destroyed, he knew that his death was approaching.

Liu Cong did have other armies under his command, but in order to control the tiger, he had to first have enough strength to intimidate the tiger. As a hunter, he had now lost Liu Yao, his hunting dog, as well as the strong bows and crossbows that could intimidate the eagles and dogs.

If he dared to flee Chang'an and flee to Pingyang or Xiangguo at this time, he would definitely be dead. He would certainly be retaliated by his own lackeys. Jin Zhun in Pingyang cannot be trusted, and Shi Le in Xiangguo is even more so. Alas, is God going to forget our Great Zhao?

After much deliberation, Liu Cong finally decided to flee to Pingyang. Although Jin Zhun was not a good person either, he should weigh the pros and cons and choose the lesser of two evils. No matter how bad Jin Zhun was, he was still a Xiongnu, while Shi Le was a Jie.

Those who are not of my race must have different hearts! Liu Cong felt that what the Han people said made sense, so he wanted to exterminate the Han people and suppress other races as well!

Of course, these were Liu Yao’s ideas before his death. Now Liu Cong had nothing else to think about except escaping quickly.

Chapter 357: Registered Households Become Citizens

In the history of the original table world, shortly after Liu Cong's death, Jin Zhun launched a coup in Pingyang and killed his successor. Liu Yao, as the last hope of the old Liu family, turned the tide and saved the small territory of Guanzhong.

At this time, Liu Yao had died and the Liu family's last hope was gone. Once Liu Cong fled back to Pingyang, the result would be predictable.

Therefore, after learning that Liu Cong and others fled to the north rather than the northeast, Shen Yuelan smiled knowingly and no longer took Liu Cong seriously.

After all, in Shen Yuelan's heart, Liu Cong was already a dead man at this time. Even if Jin Zhun didn't kill him, he would definitely not survive next winter.

Although the Zhao king and his ministers, led by Liu Cong, had fled, the Hu people gathered in Chang'an City could not escape in a short time.

You should know that in the late Three Kingdoms period, due to the sharp decline in the population in the Central Plains, the Wei and Jin dynasties continued to recruit the Five Barbarians and absorb the Hu population. Over the course of a hundred years, as many as millions of Five Barbarians moved inland. Before the Five Barbarians invaded China, the Han people only accounted for one-third of the population in the north.

By the early Western Jin Dynasty, the Guanlong region, which was once inhabited by the Han people, had become a situation where [all the northwestern counties were inhabited by Rong people] and [there were more than one million people in Guanzhong, and half of them were Rong people, regardless of their numbers].

By the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, the minority population in Guanzhong and the areas west of it was several times that of the Han population. Such a large population base was too much for even an ethnic group with a strong assimilation ability like the Han to cope with.

Therefore, in Chang'an City at that time, basically at least two out of every three people were Hu people.

[My king, are you going to slaughter all those Hu people? ]

【What are they doing? 】

[But they are Hu people. ]

[Hehe, Hu people? No, they are the common people. ]

[Common people? But...they are clearly dressed like barbarians, right?]

[Can't the Hu people be common people? Before the Han Dynasty, no one in this land would admit that they were Han people. Some were just people from the Seven Kingdoms.]

【But…………】

[Don't say but, Zigui, do you know what Chinese localization is?]

【Sinicization means speaking Chinese, wearing Chinese clothes, taking Chinese surnames, and practicing Chinese etiquette. 】

[Hahaha, that was the self-Sinicization of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, not the Sinicization of China.]

【Sinicization actually does not emphasize blood ties or culture, but rather political identity. For example, whether or not a person is in the government's household registration system is very important. Whether or not they are Han or Yi, vassal barbarians or surrendered barbarians is not important.】

[Registered households are the people, equivalent to Huaxia]

【But didn’t the Western Jin Dynasty fail? 】

[That's because the Sima family is incompetent! The successor dynasties are even more useless! Normally speaking, the rhythm of Qin and Han is correct. Qin paid a price to unify the six kingdoms, and Han inherited the Qin system to maintain stability. ]

[The significance of Han is that after the Yi people are registered as Chinese, their previous non-Huaxia identities will still be remembered by everyone, but after a few generations, this memory will be gradually worn away, and they will eventually become normal people.]

[Wei and Western Jin completed the first step by absorbing the Five Barbarians, but they did not have a strong enough successor to maintain stability, so people gradually forgot the distinction between the Yi and the Xia.]

[Alas, Sima Rui really deserves to die. ]

[Um, what is Sinicization? Zigui probably understands it, but what does this have to do with Sima Rui? ]

[Alas, why is it none of his business? If he had followed the Western Jin Dynasty and died honestly, then whether it was Liu Yuan or Shi Le, they might have been able to bring forward the Sui and Tang dynasties by hundreds of years.]

[But aren't they Hu people? ]

[It is true that they have Hu blood, but if you really understand their life stories, you will know that they were both born and died in Han areas and were registered as households in the Western Jin Dynasty. Liu Yuan even served as a military commander in the Western Jin Dynasty.]

[In other words, they have long been no different from the Han people. In a sense, their identity is even more like the Han people than the Li family of the Tang Dynasty.]

[It was not the so-called foreign race that destroyed the Western Jin Dynasty. On the contrary, it was the people he recognized as his own who destroyed the Western Jin Dynasty.]

[Why did the Sixteen Kingdoms and even the Northern Dynasties want to establish a unified empire? Why did they become more and more Han Chinese? Because they were Han Chinese in their bones. They were correcting the chaos.]

[Aren’t the so-called Five Barbarians artificially created? They were almost integrated, but they were forcibly dug out because of some people’s dream of becoming emperors. What a sin.]

[It’s a pity that neither Liu Yuan nor Shi Le had Liu Bang’s ability to reshape the world.]

[The topic has gone too far. In short, those people are civilians and cannot be killed. Otherwise, we will be no different from those we despise. ]

[Yes, my king, should we keep them here? Or should we let them leave? ]

[Let them be. We don’t have Liu Cong’s ability to get them two-legged sheep.]

In the end, of the more than 100,000 people in Chang'an City, only a few cats and dogs were left. Shen Huanyan made a rough estimate and found that even in this situation, most of those who were still willing to stay in Chang'an City were elderly Han people.

Anyone who could run, whether they were Hu or Han, all ran away. No one wanted to stay in a place where they were insecure.

Shen Yuelan didn't care about this. She had no intention of recruiting any followers in Chang'an City. It would be better if they all ran away.

But even so, there are still thousands of people left in the city, and Shen Yuelan cannot really ignore them. After all, Shen Yuelan's goal is to completely occupy this shadow world.

To achieve this, the local people must either choose to submit to her or be killed by her.

Shen Yuelan naturally didn't want to kill them all and then be branded as a butcher, but she also didn't want to feed too many people. After all, people need to eat, and they are not goblins with small appetites. Shen Yuelan could afford to feed as many people as she wanted.

The only helpless choice is to let the people leave first, then find an agent in the local area to support them, slowly develop, accumulate food, slowly become king, and when there is enough capital, gradually accept those people who come to seek refuge.

Having said that, the question arises: who should she find to be her agent?

Liu Yuan is actually not bad, Shen Yuelan likes him the most, but this guy has been dead for several years, so it is not good to disturb him; Liu Cong is a bit cruel. During his reign, he was arrogant, extravagant, licentious and violent, killing countless people, executing ministers and giving out rewards indiscriminately, so he is not a good choice;

Not to mention Sima Rui, Shen Yuelan would not choose him no matter who else; Li Xiong in Shu does have the ambition to unify the world, but Shu alone is enough to keep him busy for his entire life, which shows that this person has limited ability and is not worth a consultative partner.

Looking at the whole world, the only person who was capable and had good reputation among later generations was Shi Le. As for Shi Hu, the famous tyrant in the Sixteen Kingdoms, he was his nephew. After Shen Yuelan decided to support Shi Le, he planned to get rid of him first.

Chapter 358 Exile to Lingnan

After 90% of the people in the city fled, Shen Yuelan became rich overnight. After several days of looting, the gold and silver he found filled the treasury of the Jin court, and there were countless amounts of grain and cloth.

The vast majority of these were collected from the homes of Han nobles, and a small portion was contributed by the new Hu nobles. As for the homes of ordinary people, even mice were unwilling to visit them.

No matter how good a mountain of gold and silver is, it is like chicken ribs to Shen Yuelan at this moment. What Shen Yuelan values most at this moment is food. With food, she can settle down the more than a thousand people in the city and have a place to prepare for the spring ploughing next year.

Fortunately, this seemingly dilapidated Chang'an City gave her many surprises. It can only be said that these Han nobles in Chang'an are all rats. If it weren't for Shen Yuelan's special eyes, she might not be able to find so much food and fodder.

After dealing with the miscellaneous matters in the city, Shen Yuelan began to think about the next plan. It was 317 AD, the second year of Linjia in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, when Zu Ti was launching a northern expedition.

Shi Hu, whom Shen Yuelan regarded as a serious threat, was now confronting Zu Ti outside the city of Qiao.

Normally, Shen Yuelan could have descended from the sky like a divine soldier, sneaked up behind Shi Hu's army, launched a sneak attack from behind, and killed Shi Hu with one blow.

But the problem is that Chang'an City is a bit far from Qiaocheng (Qiaocheng is in today's Haozhou, Anhui). By the time Shen Yuelan arrives in Qiaocheng, the opportunity will probably be gone.

Moreover, Liu Cong is not dead yet. Once she leaves Chang'an City for too long, they will surely come back. By then, the thousands of old and young in the city will surely become tools for them to vent their anger, and they will die without a burial place. This is what Shen Yuelan does not want to see.

Not to mention, there were large amounts of gold, silver and food in the city. Once intercepted by the enemy, it would greatly encourage their arrogance. And the most important point was that Shi Le and Shi Hu still belonged to Liu Cong at this time.

Now the entire northern region, except Guanzhong, is almost under the control of Former Zhao, at least in name. Therefore, it is possible for Liu Cong to mobilize Shi Le to march west to support the king.

Based on this conjecture, Shen Yuelan decided to encircle and attack the reinforcements. She wanted to chase Liu Cong to the north, drive him to Pingyang City and besiege him, and then borrow the reputation of Liu Cong, the monarch of Former Zhao, to ask Shi Le for help.

In this way, she doesn't have to passively choose who to fight. The great man's strategy is really good. The art of war is to mobilize the enemy, not to be mobilized by the enemy.

There was nothing to see in the ruined Chang'an City except for broken walls and more broken walls. Therefore, Shen Yuelan did not stay here for too long and only sent two thousand Song imperial guards to defend it.

In fact, there is nothing to defend. Shen Yuelan just wants them to maintain order in the city. Normally, there are only a few famous historical figures in the same period. As long as some of them are controlled, even if they can't do whatever they want in this era, at least they can rest assured.

But is it really like this? Shen Yuelan has doubts about this. You know, some heroes do stand out from the working people because of their outstanding abilities. This should be regarded as a heroic historical view.

But there are also some people who have to emerge because of the general trend of history. In other words, history is created by the people. If there was no Liu Yuan, there would be Zhao Yuan, Li Yuan, and Wang Yuan to replace Liu Yuan's historical role. This is a people's historical view.

As a former young person of the new era, Shen Yuelan firmly believed in the people's historical view, but when she grew up, she found that many things in this world are not black and white. In other words, the heroic historical view may not be correct, but another historical view cannot encompass everything.

However, Shen Yuelan hoped at this moment that the heroic historical perspective could play a certain role, because it would make things much easier for her. But the reality did not match her wishes. When Shen Yuelan was halfway to Pingyang, the two thousand Song imperial guards were all killed.

There is no doubt that these guys were killed by an unknown person. Although Shen Yuelan was not very happy, she did not intend to change her plan. After all, whether she had Chang'an City as a base or not would not affect her combat effectiveness.

[Hmph, let me wait and see what glorious history the people occupying Chang'an City can create? ]

Half a month later, outside Pingyang City.

The remnants of Liu Cong, who had been driven away by Ying Zigui, finally saw the light after half a month of hardship, and the [evil witches] who had been hanging behind them finally disappeared.

Liu Cong felt like he was about to cry. God knew what he had been through in the past half month. Just as he walked into Pingyang City with great anticipation, the scene before him almost made him collapse.

Death, everything before one's eyes is death. Pingyang City has long since become a dead zone. All the living creatures in it have turned into ghosts. The bodies of the Huns have turned into corpses, and their souls have sunk into hell. The flowers of the underworld are blooming all over the city.

The State of Zhao was destroyed. This was the only thing that Liu Cong could think of after seeing this despairing scene. He soon saw the [Dark Artist] who created this horrific scene, a girl dressed in ancient Shu costumes.

[You... who are you? Why are you in the capital of my Great Zhao? Where are the others? Where is Liu Can? Where is Jin Zhun? What did you do to them? ]

[Hehe, my lord, you are so impatient. You asked so many questions. Which one should I answer first? ]

【What did you do to them? 】

[How is it? It's just what you saw, hehe, they are all dead, hehe, they were all killed by me.]

[All dead? You killed more than 200,000 Zhao citizens in Pingyang City? How dare you do that?]

[How dare I? Why shouldn't I dare? This isn't the real world, it's just a shadow world. Even if my Lord knew, he would only scold me. Don't you agree, my Lord?]
