Martial Arts: I am in the Ming Cult and I am building a dynasty

However, the strength shown by Yang Zhao and the sign of Ying Zheng's death made the Yin-Yang family uneasy.

The relationship between the Yin-Yang School and the Qin Dynasty was originally a cooperative one.

Now that their allies are in decline, the Yin-Yang family will naturally not completely hate Yang Zhao, their future ally, just because of his few contributions. Instead, they will do their best to erase all traces of Yang Zhao left in the Qin Dynasty.

After hearing Donghuang Taiyi's words, Yang Zhao thought about it and was reluctantly relieved.

At the same time, Yang Zhao had a deeper understanding of the infiltration of the Yin-Yang School in the Qin Dynasty.

The two assassinations of the Qin Emperor were absolutely secrets among secrets for Ying Zheng at that time.

At this critical moment, even if Ying Zheng suffered a loss in silence, he would never let the news that the Golden Fire Cavalry and the Returned Qin Wuzu suffered heavy losses leak out.

Beneath the apparent power and prosperity of the Qin Dynasty, there were also huge hidden dangers.

During the Qin Dynasty, there were hundreds of rivalries in the court, and various factions were inextricably linked to the survivors of the six kingdoms hidden in the Qin Dynasty.

There are also ambitious rebels such as the Nong family, the Mohist family, the Xiang family, and the Liu family who are ready to make a move.

In the outside world, the Huns' border intrusions, the Baiyue's invasions, the Western Expedition's spying, the Sui Dynasty's unrest, etc., all required the Qin Dynasty to have enough powerful military force to deter them.

It is the number one dynasty in Jiuzhou, and there are many forces inside and outside, waiting for the Great Qin Dynasty to show signs of decline.

The defeat of the Golden Fire Cavalry and the Wuzu who returned to Qin could not harm the foundation of the Great Qin Dynasty.

But in the end, the emergence of this decline will make those ambitious people at home and abroad become more rampant. If things go wrong, even Ying Zheng will suffer a great loss.

Therefore, for Ying Zheng, the best situation would be to make an eastern tour as scheduled, and then return to Xianyang City to spend some time in peace and recuperate.

Soon, during the communication with the Yin-Yang family.

Yang Zhao also quickly made a judgment, that was exactly what Qin Emperor Ying Zheng thought and thought.

According to the intelligence of the Yin-Yang School, Emperor Qin Ying Zheng was halfway through his eastern tour and felt tired and unwell two days ago. Therefore, he has returned to Xianyang today, escorted by a large army.

At this point, the crisis of the Qin Pass in the southwest of the Sui Dynasty had been largely resolved.

Even if the Qin Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty reached some agreement, Wang Jian's leading his troops to Yuqin Pass again was probably just a show. Yue Fei's ability was enough to deal with it.

The threat from the Qin Dynasty was lifted, and the huge stone that had been weighing on Yang Zhao's heart was also completely swept away.

After communicating with Donghuang Taiyi, Yueshen, Xinghun, Yunzhongjun, Dasiming, Shaosiming, Xiangjun, Xiangfuren and others, Yang Zhao stayed in Yinyang's house for another two days before he got up and went back to the direction of the Sui Dynasty.

In the Yin-Yang School, there will be four people, led by Yueshen, Yunzhongjun, Shaosiming and Madam Xiang. In the following days, a group of Yin-Yang disciples will report to Chang'an of the Sui Dynasty one after another.

It has to be said that the impact of the two assassination attempts on Qin was quite huge.

Not to mention the conflicts within the Qin Dynasty, the Yin-Yang School alone paid many times more attention to Yang Zhao than before.

If the trump card Yang Zhao showed in front of Donghuang Taiyi before was just a deterrent for equal conversation.

The defeat of the Golden Fire Cavalry and the Wuzu who returned to Qin made the Yin-Yang School truly see the terrifying potential of Yang Zhao, the King Zhao of the Sui Dynasty.

The strength of one person is nothing.

Even if one is the strongest person at the top of humanity, the role he can play in a battle between an army of more than 200,000 people is not as important as imagined.

One hundred thousand golden fire cavalry and two hundred thousand Qin soldiers, plus nearly three hundred thousand ordinary Qin troops.

Even if the entire Yin-Yang family was mobilized, once they were trapped in the military formation, they would only be defeated, and only a very small number of people would be able to escape.

However, Yang Zhao's methods had unknowingly caused the collapse of such a powerful Qin army.

The Yin-Yang School naturally did not dare to neglect him, and even raised Yang Zhao to the same status as Ying Zheng.

Chapter 715 Yang Zhao invites Zhang Liang

It was a few days after Yang Zhao left Yin Yang School, at the Qin Pass in the southwest of the Sui Dynasty.

After getting rid of the great threat of the Great Qin Dynasty, Yang Zhao took Concubine Yan and traveled around the Great Qin Dynasty for a few days in a very relaxing manner before returning to the territory of the Great Sui Dynasty.

Compared with the solemnity and severity under the strict laws within the Qin Dynasty.

The atmosphere and even the air in the Sui Dynasty seemed to have eased a lot. Even in a strong military town like Yuqin Pass, it was still much more lively than in the Qin Dynasty.

However, Yue Fei was very good at military affairs.

Behind this prosperous scene, the entire Yuqin Pass is tight on the outside but loose on the inside. In addition to the busy caravans coming and going, the originally slightly loose city walls are now strictly guarded by the extremely powerful Yue Army.

Compared with Yang Zhao's information channels, Yue Fei knew little about the Qin Dynasty.

Yue Fei was not aware of the fact that Emperor Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng had mobilized the Golden Fire Cavalry and the Qin Wuzu in a deceptive plan.

Fortunately, the Qin Emperor's plan was resolved by Yang Zhao quietly.

Yang Zhao did not show up and went to the military camp to talk to Yue Fei.

On the contrary, after arriving at Yuqin Pass, Yang Zhao and Yan Fei strolled through the streets of the city, as leisurely as a young couple on their honeymoon.

"My husband, do you think Zhang Liang has come to Yuqin Pass?"

"Well, the person has arrived, but now is not the time to meet him. He is deliberately avoiding us."

"This man is so arrogant, my husband. What is so good about Zhang Liang that he deserves your respect? In Chang'an, even Fang and Du were the first to be treated so seriously by you, my husband."

"This is different. Xuan Ling and Ke Ming are both talented people of the Sui Dynasty. As long as I show enough potential and tolerance, it will not be difficult to subdue them. However, Zhang Liang is from the Qin Dynasty, no, he is the grandson of Zhang Xiang of the former Han Dynasty. He is a sage in the world and has a certain aversion to the Sui Dynasty."

"Tsk, you're still a sage, you're really going to endure when you can't even make it in the Qin Empire anymore..."

Listening to Yan Fei's complaints, Yang Zhao also laughed.

This went on for several more days.

Just as Yang Zhao had expected, Qin Emperor Ying Zheng returned to Xianyang, but he still sent Wang Jian with more than 200,000 troops to the Yuqin Pass.

The actions of the Qin Dynasty made Yang Zhao even more certain.

Then some agreement must have been reached between the Qin Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty.

Fortunately, after the Qin Emperor returned to Xianyang, Wang Jian probably just came to join in the fun and had no intention of really going to war with Yang Zhao.

at the same time.

In Yuqin Pass, with the arrival of the famous Qin general Wang Jian, Yue Fei had also arrived at Yuqin Pass early with a large group of generals.

The two armies faced each other thousands of meters apart.

The overwhelming evil spirit formed an extremely fierce collision inside and outside the Yuqin Pass.

Yue's army is elite, while Qin's army is large. Without mentioning the city defenses, the two sides are not much different in terms of military strength.

"Zifang, in your opinion, what do you think of the army under my command?"

Just as the two armies were facing each other.

On a small hill outside Yuqin Pass, Yang Zhao and Yan Fei had come up behind a wise and tall young man without knowing when.

Clang!

The sudden sound made Zhang Liang's whole body tense up, and the Lingxu sword at his waist came out half an inch.

But soon, Zhang Liang recognized the voice, and his original defense and vigilance completely disappeared. He turned around, bowed slightly to Yang Zhao.

"Liang, I greet His Royal Highness Prince Zhao and Concubine Yan."

"Brother Zifang, you are being too polite. After we parted at Bolangsha, I missed you so much."

Zhang Liang was the grandson of Zhang Kaidi, the prime minister of Han State, and the third in command of the Confucian Xiaoshengxianzhuang of Daqin. In terms of his birth, growth, and learning, he was extremely aristocratic and attached great importance to etiquette.

Yang Zhao could neither say that he liked nor that he disliked Zhang Liang's behavior.

However, the proper routines must still be followed in the relationship between the monarch and his subjects.

The two sides exchanged greetings.

Yang Zhao quickly looked down the mountain at the battlefield and asked again, "Brother Zifang, in your opinion, what is the situation of the two armies on this battlefield? Who will win and who will lose?"

Zhang Liang smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness is able to plan and win a battle thousands of miles away. I admire you very much. It's a pity that in this battle, there is no victory or defeat, and you can't leave the 200,000 Qin troops here."

Zhang Liang was an extremely smart man. After seeing the 200,000 ordinary Qin troops led by Wang Jian, combined with the news that Qin Emperor Ying Zheng inexplicably returned to Xianyang, he was able to guess Yang Zhao's purpose of going to the Qin Dynasty and the current situation.

Yang Zhao and Zhang Liang looked at each other, smiled bitterly and expressed their feelings.

Just as Zhang Liang said.

This battle was already over when Wang Jian arrived with 200,000 ordinary Qin troops.

The real confrontation is not on the battlefield, but in the foreign policies between countries.

The two stabbings at Bolangsha against the Qin Emperor resulted in the defeat of the Golden Fire Cavalry and the Wuzu who returned to Qin. However, due to the agreement between the Qin Emperor and the Yuan Dynasty, Wang Jian still brought 200,000 ordinary Qin troops to put on a show.

Similarly, when defending against Qin forces in Guanzhong, even if the Yue Army's combat power far exceeded that of the Qin Army under the city and could cripple or even completely annihilate it, Yue Fei would not leave the city to fight and could only choose to defend the city.

The Qin Dynasty had to put on a show to maintain its own military power.

Yue's army under Yang Zhao's command knew that it was a play, but they had to cooperate with it and not anger the Qin Dynasty.

Watch the battlefield for a moment.

Yang Zhao quickly calmed down and said, "The Qin Dynasty bullied me today, and I will definitely take revenge one day. Zifang, are you willing to lend me a helping hand?"

There is no need for too many tricks between smart people.

After showing your magnanimity, you just need to express your attitude.

In a sense, this was Yang Zhao's second invitation to Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang stared blankly at the battlefield below the mountain. He seemed calm on the surface, but in fact, his mind was filled with a tangled mess of thoughts, extremely chaotic.

A long time.

Zhang Liang turned his head stiffly and looked at Yang Zhao, saying, "Your Highness, please forgive me for my troubled conscience. I cannot accept your request for the time being..."

Home, country, the world, homeland, and enemy dynasty.

Compared to Yang Zhao, Zhang Liang himself was a native of the Qin Dynasty. It had only been more than ten years since his family and country were destroyed. What he thought and considered, and the decision he made were indeed much more difficult than he had imagined.

Regarding Zhang Liang’s thoughts.

Yang Zhao understood it very well, but he couldn't empathize with her.

However, there is still quite some time before the decline of the Qin Dynasty, so there is no rush. As long as we can keep it in Yuqin Pass, there will be next chance.

At that moment, Yang Zhao patted Zhang Liang on the shoulder and said, "It's okay. My Great Sui will always be open to you, Brother Zifang."

"After the Qin troops retreat, I will stay in the Pass of Qin and choose a place for Zifang to live."

"The Qin Empire has been chasing Brother Zifang for a long time. If Brother Zifang is tired in the Qin Empire, he would like to have a place to rest temporarily..."

Chapter 716: Winning over Zhang Liang and Returning to Chang'an

Yang Zhao was very tolerant and patient towards Zhang Liang, a top strategist who was highly praised by the people throughout the ages.

Now there are at least eight years left until the death of Qin Emperor Ying Zheng.

Zhang Liang has not yet fully grown into his ultimate form.

At least, Zhang Liang did not decisively refuse Yang Zhao's invitation, which proved that there was a chance to win over Zhang Liang.

Just like flying a kite, you can’t always hold the string too tightly; sometimes you may need to loosen it a little.

Yuqin Pass is located on the northeastern border of the Qin Dynasty.

Compared with other methods of subduing Zhang Liang, Yang Zhao left a base for Zhang Liang in the Pass of Qin. This not only did not hinder Zhang Liang from returning to the Qin Dynasty to cause trouble, but also provided him with a stable base.

Yang Zhao believed that Zhang Liang would definitely not refuse.

Even at some point in the future, Zhang Liang would be able to attract all the members of the anti-Qin alliance within the Qin Dynasty, such as Gai Nie, Mohist school, Nongjia, and Liusha organization, to come to the Pass to protect Qin.

As long as they come, these people will be like meat on one's lips.

Even if some individuals are impossible to subdue, they can be driven away and made into a sharp weapon to attack the Qin Dynasty.

as predicted.

Faced with Yang Zhao's sincere intention, Zhang Liang hesitated for a while, but finally agreed.

Seeing that Zhang Liang accepted his kindness, Yang Zhao said no more, but turned his gaze towards the battlefield below the mountain again.

However, at this time, the situation on the battlefield of Yuqin Pass had also undergone significant changes.

The commander of both sides on the battlefield.

Wang Jian and Yue Fei both knew that this war could only be considered a small-scale skirmish and that a real fight would not occur. However, the generals in the two armies did not have such a broad view of the overall situation.
