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

After all, a person cannot act on impulse alone. Compared with everything he has now and the stable light ahead, a place like Dong'a City that requires gambles is not a very good choice.

Li Si was not a person who was fond of gambling. If he were, he would not have chosen the most stable Qin State.

On the other side, Han Yu was also asking people to pack their bags and prepare to leave Dong'a. This place would soon become a place of trouble, and the purpose of his trip had been achieved. There was no need to stay here any longer.

But Han Yu wanted to leave, but some people were unwilling to leave, such as Honglian.

"Fourth brother, please let me stay." Honglian acted coquettishly and cutely, but in the end she had only one thought in mind: she didn't want to leave here.

"No, I have committed a big taboo by bringing you out this time. When I go back, I don't know how my father will punish me, and how my ninth brother will blame me. If you don't go back, have you thought about my ending?" Han Yu was unmoved.

Now Yang Chong is not the King of Qi yet. If he keeps Honglian and is eaten up, who can he complain to?

Yang Chong may not be able to do such a thing, but he could not resist Honglian's initiative. As a man, how could Han Yu not understand a man's mentality when facing a beauty? Therefore, Han Yu would definitely not let Honglian stay. He understood the principle of "beating a dog with a meat bun".

"Can father kill fourth brother? As for ninth brother, his complaints are worthless. Can fourth brother be afraid of him?" Honglian argued. She was used to being willful, so she naturally thought that willfulness was an insignificant matter. But she didn't know that a woman's willfulness is different from a man's. A woman's willfulness may be tolerated by some people, but a man's willfulness can be fatal.

"Honglian, there is no room for negotiation on this matter, and Yang Chong is busy with the war with Qi right now. You won't be able to see him even if you stay here. What's more, if you are not in Xinzheng, when Yang Chong sends someone to Xinzheng to propose marriage in the future, you won't be able to find the real person." Seeing that his sister was willful, Han Yu could only adopt a roundabout strategy. Fortunately, Honglian is no longer the unscrupulous and willful little girl before. Now Honglian has her own weaknesses.

"Propose marriage?" Honglian was stunned. Although she had some premonition about this matter, it was just a guess. This was the first time she heard the exact news.

For a moment, a huge surprise spread in Honglian's heart. Meeting Han Yu's playful gaze, she blushed instinctively. Although she was already an adult in this era, as a princess, especially the youngest daughter of Han Wangan, her life was simple, so her mind was still simple, and she still had the ignorance and innocence of a girl. After hearing the news at this time, she naturally had the reaction of a girl.

"Or should I keep you here?" Han Yu was relieved at this time. Teasing his simple-minded sister was one of the few pleasures Han Yu had on the way to Dong'a.

Han Yu, who escaped from the power struggle in South Korea, saw many scenes that he had never seen before, family affection was one of them.

"Then let's not do that!" Honglian was determined not to stay this time.

"It's time for you to grow up." Han Yu smiled slightly and looked at the busy city. South Korea has become impossible. Can he create a miracle here with Yang Chong?

While troops were being mobilized in Dong'a, an edict from Linzi also left the capital and headed towards all parts of Qi. Qi's military system was very different from that of the six kingdoms. The Qi army mainly adopted a recruitment system, and Qi had not fought a war with other countries for many years. Therefore, both in Linzi and in the entire Qi territory, the troops were limited. And through the intelligence gathering on Dong'a in the past few days, Qi had already learned that with the strength of Yang Chong's territory, it could mobilize nearly 100,000 troops at most.

Not long ago, Yang Chong defeated the Qin general Huan Xi by defeating the strong with the weak, proving his ability as a famous general. If such a famous general led 100,000 elite troops, even the Qin State would be wary. The Qi State, which had not experienced a war for many years, faced such an opponent and did not have an absolute advantage in military strength, so he really did not have much confidence.

Therefore, King Jian of Qi had to recruit soldiers nationwide. Although the cost was huge, fortunately, after so many years of recuperation, Qi had accumulated wealth far exceeding that of other countries. Even Qin was far inferior to it, so Qi could hold on.

However, when the news of Qi's large-scale conscription reached Dong'a City, Yang Chong showed a look of heartache.

"You should be worried about Qi's large-scale conscription. Why don't you look worried? Instead, you look heartbroken?" Yan Lingji asked Yang Chong, who looked unusual, while lying in his study.

"That's all my money. If this war lasts too long and Tian Jian continues to mess around like this, I will suffer a huge loss. So this war must be resolved quickly." Yang Chong said.

"Huh? Your angle is quite unique, but aren't we being a little too shameless?" Yan Lingji tilted her head and looked at Yang Chong. Although they were already very familiar with each other, Yang Chong could still bring her some new insights from time to time.

"Is it important to have money as well as face?" Yang Chong asked back.

Now the troops of Dong'a City have been assembled, totaling 75,000 people, and the armaments have been fully equipped. They only need to wait for Yang Chong's order to cross the Ji River to the east and invade the territory of Qi. However, after invading Qi, it is hard to say whether they will win or lose, live or die.

Before a war reaches its final moment, no one can say that he is sure to win. Victory or defeat is a matter of probability. As a commander, before the war begins, all you can do is to eliminate the factors that lead to defeat as much as possible, increase more factors that can lead to victory, push the probability of victory to the extreme, and reduce the probability of defeat to the lowest.

Even Yang Chong was no exception in this regard.

Yang Chong joined the game only because he had a chance of winning, but Qi also had a chance of winning. It can even be said that Qi's probability of winning is greater than Yang Chong's. After all, Yang Chong is one corner against a country. Qi's strength in any aspect is nearly ten times that of Yang Chong. In the face of the absolute disparity in power, many times, it is no longer something that can be reversed by human power.

"That depends on who you say it to. As for you, it's hard to say." Yan Lingji was in a good mood. When she was in a good mood, she liked to poke Yang Chong. It was her pleasure.

Recently, Zi Nu has been busy because of a name, but Yan Lingji has been idle and has been hanging around Yang Chong all day long. It really proves what Yang Chong said to Yan Lingji before, that sometimes a name is not a good thing, especially for Yan Lingji's eccentric personality.

"You are in a good mood, but I hope you can still be so happy after I leave." Yang Chong said helplessly.

Yan Lingji is certainly likable, but she is also very annoying when she is annoying, just like now, which is really infuriating.

"I want to go with you too. Although I am not good at fighting, I am good at fighting." Yan Lingji said.

"You stay this time. There can't be women in the army." Yang Chong rejected Yan Lingji's suggestion.

"Why?" Yan Lingji was puzzled. She was originally the top killer of Baiyue. Over the years, her martial arts skills had improved by leaps and bounds. If she fought alone, without the presence of a master, it was uncertain whether many people would be able to defeat her.

"It's nothing. I must give my all in this battle. If you follow me, how can I concentrate? If I am distracted because of you and fail in this battle, you will become a witch who brings disaster to the country." Yang Chong said half-truthfully.

"Do you think I will believe such a reason?" Yan Lingji curled her lips. She would not be fooled. Yang Chong was fooling her again.

"You should believe it. Okay, you stay here. When I capture Linzi, I will take you there. Then, I will be the real King of Qi, and you will become one of the most noble women in the world." Yang Chong's words this time were unquestionable.

Yan Lingji looked at Yang Chong for a long time before she sighed softly. She already knew that Yang Chong's decision could not be changed. That was why she looked sad and murmured, "If I were given another chance, I would only think of kidnapping you to the Baiyue land before your martial arts were perfected. We could live in seclusion there and I wouldn't have to worry about you all day like I do now."

"The king has his troubles, and the common people have their sufferings. If possible, I still want to be a king." Yang Chong laughed. Some things cannot be avoided just because you want to.

Even the ruler of a country cannot do whatever he wants, let alone the common people at the bottom. Everything Yang Chong does now is certainly due to so-called ideals, but making himself live a more comfortable life is also a factor that cannot be ignored.

"Greedy man."

"Aren't you also a greedy woman?"

……

Jimo of Qi State.

"It's time for us to become famous." Under the city wall, a young man looked at the conscription notice on the wall with an excited look on his face.

"Famous? What fame?" another young man beside him asked in confusion.

They were from the Tian clan, and although they were very distant from the royal bloodline, they were still considered royal family after all. Therefore, they were considered one of the well-off families in a place like Jimo. As they lived a wealthy life, they really shouldn't have much interest in joining the army.

However, some people have different opinions, just like the young man with an excited look on his face.

He was about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, not very tall but very sturdy, his clothes bulging with muscles, and it was obvious that he had strength beyond that of an ordinary person. He was also good-looking, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he had a heroic air.

"Right now, my State of Qi, once the leader of all the princes, can only close itself off. The people of Qi have forgotten the glory of their ancestors and have lost their bravery. This time, I finally see an opportunity. It is not only a chance for me to make a name for myself, but also a chance for Qi to revive its martial arts." The young man said, his expression filled with excitement that was hard to conceal.

"Tian Heng, are you serious?" The other young man was shocked when he saw that his cousin was serious.

A military formation, that's too dangerous. They have everything they need now, so why would they want to wade into a river of blood on a battlefield?

"I often sigh that I could not be born decades earlier. If I were born decades earlier, I would not have let Tian Dan take all the credit. Fortunately, now I have the chance. I will let the world know my name, Tian Heng." Tian Heng, indeed, lives up to his name.

"You have to think about it."

"The State of Qi is truly full of hidden talents. I didn't expect that in Jimo City, an ordinary young man could actually have the aura of a king." In a crowd that Tian Heng and the other man didn't notice, a woman turned her head and said to a woman of similar age next to her.

"Sister, do you think he can get what he wants this time?" another woman asked.

"It's just a fledgling dragon. If it wants to achieve anything, it can grow for another 20 years and wait for the right time. Maybe it can still become powerful. But now, after meeting that guy who borrowed the destiny of the blue dragon, I'm afraid there is only one way to go, which is to die."

"The Blue Dragon's destiny? Sister, do you think the Blue Dragon Seven Stars that belong to Qi State belongs to Yang Chong?"

"Sister means..."

It turns out that they are from the Yin-Yang School.

Chapter 246 I will lead the army in person

The Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon are one of the greatest secrets of the world. People only know that the Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon have been controlled by the royal families of seven countries over the years. But what exactly is the secret of the Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon? I am afraid that even the kings of the seven countries do not know.

But the pursuit of the secret of the Seven Stars of the Azure Dragon has never stopped. From the Seven Kingdoms' struggle for supremacy to the Hundred Schools of Thought, traces of the Seven Stars of the Azure Dragon have appeared in between.

Although the purpose of these two women's trip was to study and gain insights to reach a higher level, it was also for the secret of the Blue Dragon. In the process, they have traveled all over the State of Chu and now have come to the State of Qi. Next, they will go to the State of Yan, the State of Zhao, the State of Wei, the State of Han, and even the last State of Qin.

During this period of investigation, they also collected some information and learned that the Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon had demonstrated their power hundreds of years ago.

According to legend, decades after King Ping moved east, Duke Zhuang of Zheng used the power of a small country and the help of the Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon to dominate all the countries in a short period of time. This was the closest time to the secret of the Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon.

Now Yang Chong's rise seems to be even faster than that of Duke Zhuang of Zheng back then. Although the State of Zheng was not big back then, it was a country that had been managed for three generations and was an upright country.

But what about Yang Chong? Yang Chong's rise to power took only three years, and he wasted some time in Han during this period. However, during this period, Yang Chong, from a commoner, quickly became the ruler of a small country with the help of Zhao. Now, he has been elected as the King of Qi by the six kings, and is about to go to war with the great power of Qi.

Yang Chong's martial arts were far beyond what he could have at his age. In their opinion, all these clues could only be attributed to the Blue Dragon Seven Stars. After all, Yang Chong was also from a royal family. Although this royal family had been destroyed for two or three hundred years, what if the Tian family had not obtained the Blue Dragon Seven Stars when they usurped the State of Qi? What if the Blue Dragon Seven Stars had always been in the hands of Yang Chong's lineage?

Faced with her sister Yan Fei's hesitation at this moment, countless thoughts echoed in her sister Yue Shen's mind.

"I think the secret of the Blue Dragon and the Seven Stars must be in Yang Chong. Otherwise, it is hard to explain how he could become so powerful in just a few years. It is definitely not something that one person can do. It can only be classified as a myth. And this world, as a myth, how could it be possible to avoid the Blue Dragon and the Seven Stars?" Yan Fei's hesitation has turned into determination.

Originally, their trip to Qi was coming to an end. They were ready to leave Qi and head north to Yan. However, Yang Chong's sudden rise made Yan Fei change her mind. She thought that maybe she could find something from Yang Chong, although she had not found anything in Qi.

Of course, all of this is based on a prerequisite, that is, Yang Chong can really defeat the entire Qi State with a corner of the country. Only when Yang Chong accomplishes things that humans cannot accomplish can he truly become a legend. If Yang Chong fails, then everything is over. A failed myth is not a myth.

“If we were to ask who in the world today is most likely to have mastered the secret of the Seven Stars of the Azure Dragon, Yang Chong would definitely be among them.” Yue Shen, the younger sister, said. Obviously, she had thought of a lot of things from her sister Yan Fei’s hesitation, and she also thought the same thing as Yan Fei.

"So sister, do you think we still need to go to Yan State?" Yan Fei asked.

Although she already had an idea in her mind, she knew the Moon Goddess's character well and still wanted to seek her opinion, lest the conceited and inferior Moon Goddess become angry again.

Over the years, being a sister has not been easy, especially in a place like the Yin-Yang family where everyone is a bit twisted.

"Sister, don't you already have an idea? Why ask me? Just make the decision yourself." The Moon Goddess replied indifferently. She knew why Yan Fei asked this, which was why she was unhappy. Who needs to give in to whom? Is she so pitiful, weak and helpless?

"Then let's stay and see if the king of Qi can really be changed." Yan Fei said, but there was helplessness in her expression. It was not easy to be a sister.

Faced with the war, some people were excited, while others had new doubts, but no matter what they thought, the war continued. While Qi was still recruiting soldiers, the vanguard of the army from Dong'a had already invaded the territory of Qi and captured several cities with a thunderous force. Then they stopped attacking any city along the way and went straight to Linzi City.

The speed of the Dong'a army was beyond the expectations of the entire Qi State. Even though there were many experts in the Jixia Academy who were known for their expertise in military tactics, they were completely speechless at this moment.

In recent times, King Jian of Qi has been working hard to rebuild the country's military preparations. He has consulted many wise men in the Jixia Academy, and naturally there are many very good suggestions. However, these good suggestions have not been put into practice yet. Only about 200,000 troops have been gathered in Linzi, and before they could swear to go to war, the army of Dong'a had already arrived.

"Is Yang Chong crazy? Does he think he is the Jiang Taigong of the past? But even if he has the ability of Jiang Taigong, I am not as immoral as King Zhou. Could it be that my people will turn against him during his attack?" In the Qi Palace, King Jian of Qi looked at the military report in his hand, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"Your Majesty, it is easy to find the answer to whether Yang Chong is a madman. King Zheng of Qin, Queen Mother Zhao, and even Huan Ji can tell Your Majesty that Yang Chong is not a madman." Hou Sheng said.

"Then why did he do this? With his 70,000 or 80,000 men, if they had defended the city, they might have had a little chance. But now he has directly attacked the territory of our Qi State and penetrated a hundred miles in one go. Could he be..." King Jian of Qi was stunned as he spoke, and he suddenly thought of a possibility.

No way? Suddenly realizing something, Qi Wangjian's slightly round face turned red, purely out of anger.

"Your Majesty?" Hou Sheng saw Qi Wangjian's reaction and knew that Qi Wangjian had finally reacted.

There was only one reason why Yang Chong led his army so far, and that was that he was sure of victory. As a smart man, Yang Chong would certainly not seek his own death. Excluding this point, there was only one explanation left.

"Have I been ignored? Have I been looked down upon?" King Jian of Qi felt as if his forehead was filled with blood. If he knew what blood pressure was, he would have tried his best to calm down, because his blood pressure had reached the critical value. If there was an accident, he might have to lie down before Yang Chong could attack.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Yang Chong is so arrogant that it is not worth your actions." Hou Sheng hurriedly persuaded.

Although King Jian of Qi did not have any great ambitions, he was the ruler of a country after all, and he still had the necessary pride. How could he not be angry when he was ignored by someone who was far inferior to him?

"I will lead the army in person, and I will personally kill that arrogant man." Hou Sheng's persuasion was of no use. King Jian of Qi had already made up his mind at this time. It was time for him to let the world take his State of Qi seriously. If he did not show his majesty as a king, people in the world would really think that he, King Jian of Qi, was a mascot.

"The emperor will lead the army in person?" Hou Sheng was stunned when he heard this. He instinctively felt that there was something wrong with this matter, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't say anything.

After all, Linzi now has more than 200,000 troops, and another 200,000 troops can be mobilized later. An army of this size against those in Dong'a City means more than 400,000 against 70,000. With such a huge disparity in strength, it would be unfair if I couldn't say that I have the advantage.

King Jian of Qi, who had lived in the royal palace for many years, showed his bravery to the people of Qi and the world this time. King Jian of Qi was not just a life of drunkenness and dreams. When necessary, he had the courage to fight.

"The King of Qi is going to lead the army in person?" In the military camp more than 200 miles away from Linzi, Yang Chong looked at the intelligence obtained from the night investigation and was speechless for a moment.

At this moment, Yang Chong couldn't help but have a feeling, a feeling that destiny was in his hands.

Am I really the protagonist? Yang Chong touched his forehead, speechless for a moment.

Leading the army in person is not something that everyone can do. Not to mention the Zhou emperor many years ago, in Yang Chong's memory, there were two famous gods in later generations who, in the conquest of the enemy, had absolute superiority in military forces. Because of the so-called personal leadership of the emperor, the war that could have been crushed by absolute strength was turned into a miracle and wonder in military history.

Could it be that King Jian of Qi is possessed by Emperor Yang or Bao Zong?

Yang Chong looked at the information in his hand and read it over and over again several times to make sure he had not seen it before. During this process, these were all he could think of.

Yang Chong knew what kind of person Qi Wangjian was. It was fine for him to stay in the palace and enjoy life, but could he fight? It was not impossible for such a person to become the first generation of Baozong.

"Your Majesty, this fake king's personal expedition may cause unexpected changes in the war." Yan Ju, the deputy general, reminded Yang Chong.

If King Jian of Qi leads the army in person, the morale of the Qi army will certainly be boosted. The Qi army already has an absolute advantage in military strength. If the Qi army can be united, Yang Chong's chances will be even smaller.

Yan Ju is deeply worried about this.

"No matter who the enemy's main general is, I have to be careful in dealing with him. However, Prince Jian of Qi is an exception. If I was only 40% sure about this battle before, now I am 70% sure. Prince Jian of Qi is really my good friend. Just based on his personal participation this time, the 'friendship' that increases my chances of winning by 3 points, I will ensure that he has a good end in the future." Compared with Yan Ju's worries, Yang Chong was full of confidence.

In Yang Chong's previous plan, facing the powerful Qi army, he had to use the strength of the entire army to create an opportunity for himself, an opportunity to kill the opponent's main general in one battle.

As the saying goes, when shooting a man, shoot his horse first; when capturing a thief, capture his leader first. Yang Chong was trying to win with a small investment. If he wanted to win, he had to take risks. Creating an opportunity to capture and kill the main general of the Qi army was one of the few opportunities Yang Chong had.

It can be said that even if Yang Chong could win this battle, he had no idea how long it would take to capture Linzi and how long it would take to completely conquer Qi. But now King Jian of Qi took the initiative to offer him such an opportunity.

Now Yang Chong can only believe that destiny really lies in his own hands.

In this battle, as long as Yang Chong could capture King Jian of Qi, he could take over Linzi, or even the entire Qi State, as quickly as possible.

"My Lord?" Yan Ju looked at Yang Chong worriedly. Was Yang Chong too confident now? He could even be said to be conceited.

King Jian of Qi led hundreds of thousands of Qi troops to personally lead the army to fight. Even if King Jian of Qi knew nothing, hundreds of thousands of Qi troops could wipe out all of them. So where did Yang Chong's confidence come from?

"Pass the order down and set up camp on the spot. I'm waiting for King Jian of Qi to lead the army in person." Yang Chong didn't care about Yan Ju's reaction. Now he had to prepare for war with all his strength.

"Yes." As the deputy general, Yan Ju could only reply like this. He really had no confidence or reason to oppose Yang Chong's decision.

King Jian of Qi led the army in person, and so did Yang Chong, the king who was not a king.

"The fake king is really scared." King Jian of Qi, who was dressed in golden armor, had just left Linzi for thirty miles when he received the news that Yang Chong was keeping his troops in place and was afraid to move forward.
