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

Since Donghuang Taiyi has made a decision, no one can overturn it, not even Yan Fei, the Lord of the East.

Chapter 273 Old Friends

While several people in the Yin-Yang School were still making their own plans for the development of the Yin-Yang School, Yang Chong was perfecting the final changes of the Seven Limits of Sword Dao in the Palace of Prince Qi.

At this time, several days had passed since the martial arts discussion at the Jixia Academy. Although he had absorbed the essence of the sword arts of various schools of thought with the help of the sword world and evolved the sword intent of the seven limits of sword arts, Yang Chong still needed to do a lot to bring it to perfection.

Although the Seven Limits of Sword Dao is an evolution of the sword world, its root is still in Yang Chong. Yang Chong's sword world has a master, so all the sword techniques evolved in the sword world can be traced back to the changes in Yang Chong's sword Dao, and the same is true for the Seven Limits of Sword Dao.

The so-called Seven Limits of the Sword Dao just confirms another martial art in Yang Chong’s memory, a sword technique that exists between gods and demons. However, no matter it is sword technique or sword technique, in the final analysis, it is just a weapon created by humans to enhance their own combat effectiveness, because Yang Chong can also create the Seven Limits of the Sword Dao by using the sword world.

The power of the Seven Limits of Kendo is certainly not as great as the original Seven Limits of Sword Skills, but the subtlety of the Seven Limits is not inferior. It is just limited by the plane level of this world.

The power levels are different between different worlds, but there are many factors that cause this difference. A world with a low power level does not mean that its skills are inferior to those of a high-level world.

On the contrary, in a world with a low power level, because there is too little heaven and earth energy to borrow, people often push the technical theory to the extreme in order to practice. In this respect, they are not necessarily inferior to the high-level world.

Of course, this is not necessarily the case. In most cases, the higher-level world is also stronger in terms of skills. After all, in the higher-level world, people have broader knowledge and more opportunities.

However, under some special circumstances, one can still reach a higher level in a low-level world, such is the case with the world Yang Chong belongs to now.

Therefore, the Seven Limitations of Sword Dao belonging to Yang Chong appeared. With the Seven Limitations of Sword Dao, among the numerous masters in the world, Yang Chong is the best in terms of attack alone. More importantly, with the sword world, the Seven Limitations of Sword Dao is not the limit of Yang Chong. In the future, Yang Chong can have even more powerful offensive skills.

But it is too far to talk about that now. Right now, Yang Chong only needs to perfect the seven limits of swordsmanship.

In front of Yang Chong, the Taia Sword, which once had only a sword body but no sword spirit, was reborn. The sword body, sword spirit, sword energy, and sword intent all became one, blooming with the brilliance of a sword of power. This was the rebirth of the Taia Sword. In addition to the power of heaven and earth, the Taia Sword now also had the domineering energy of heaven and earth.

It can be said that the reborn Taia Sword is better than the original version. In terms of sword skills alone, it deserves to be the best in the world.

With the last Heaven-Devouring Sword Intent being completely compatible with Yang Chong, the Seven Limits of Sword Dao were truly completed.

"Now that this matter is done, it's time to do something else. Let's set a small goal first and get the title of Eastern Emperor." Yang Chong said to himself.

"That will have to wait until you unify Zhao and Yan." Before Yang Chong finished speaking, Zi Nu's voice was heard at the door of the hall. Beside Zi Nu there was another person, someone who should not be here: Wei Zhuang.

The reason why Wei Zhuang appeared here was naturally because he was invited by Yang Chong.

As for Yang Chong's purpose, it was naturally that he wanted to recruit Wei Zhuang under his command. Of course, Wei Zhuang would definitely not accept Yang Chong's invitation now, but in the near future, Yang Chong believed that Wei Zhuang would definitely accept his invitation.

As for the reason, it is naturally that South Korea’s existence has officially entered the countdown.

The State of Wei has officially formed an alliance with the State of Qin and is preparing to use Qin's military force to attack the State of Chu next year and seize the territory that originally belonged to the State of Song and was annexed by Chu when the five states attacked Qi.

When the five countries attacked Qi, Yan invaded Qi's homeland and plundered a large amount of Qi's wealth. But the country that benefited the most was not Yan, but Wei, Zhao and Chu.

The State of Zhao obtained the Jixi area of ​​Qi, places like Dong'a and Pingyuan. If there had not been that battle, the State of Zhao would not have had the so-called Lord Pingyuan. The State of Qin obtained part of the territory of the current Dongjun, but the State of Wei was the one that benefited the most.

One of the important reasons why the five countries united to attack Qi was that Qi had swallowed up the Song State at that time. The Song State was a big country at that time. At its peak, its territory was thousands of miles long, spanning the two Huai regions, and it ruled over more than three million people. It was even stronger than the Han State at that time. It was cultivated by Qin in the east to contain Qi, Wei and Chu.

Qi's annexation of Song completely disrupted Qin's layout in the east. How could Qin not be anxious? What's more, Song was a prosperous country with a large population. If Qi could completely absorb Song's national strength, it could increase its army by a maximum of 200,000. You must know that Qi was under the rule of King Tian of Qi Min at that time, and it already had 600,000 soldiers. If Qi could increase its army by another 200,000, its peak strength could reach 800,000.

What is the concept of an army of 800,000?

You must know that even the current Qin State cannot muster 600,000 soldiers and horses under the maximum conscription. Only after Qin State has annexed most of the world and is attacking the State of Chu can it mobilize an army of 600,000.

Even when the five countries formed an alliance to attack Qin a few years ago, they only managed to gather an army of 500,000.

So the State of Qi was beaten up by the crowd at that time. It was also the peak of the Hezuo War. The State of Qi was defeated and fell into its current state of coexistence.

Of course, none of these are important. What is important is that the State of Wei at that time obtained most of the territory belonging to the State of Song. When the State of Wei was beaten and fled in panic by the State of Qin in the west, it was fortunate to receive this wave of recovery from the State of Song, which barely maintained the dignity of the State of Wei.

But at the same time, Wei's border issue also changed, because the Chu State at that time also seized part of the territory belonging to Song State, which is now Pengcheng, Pei County and other places.

All these things led to the fact that the border between Wei and Chu was greatly expanded, and the land originally belonging to Song was occupied by the two countries. More conflicts broke out as a result. Both sides wanted to take back the other's territory belonging to Song, so that over the years, there were many dirty things between Wei and Chu.

However, the biggest threat facing the State of Chu was the State of Qin, and the State of Wei did not dare to easily provoke a big country like the State of Chu, so no large-scale war broke out between the two countries.

But now this situation has changed. In order to reverse its decline on the battlefield of Dongjun, Qin had to pull Wei into the battlefield. In exchange, it sent troops to help Wei attack Chu and help Wei seize Chu's share of Song land.

Of course, even if the Dongjun incident had not happened, Qin would have helped Wei attack Chu. This was definitely not because Wei was Qin's own son, but because everything was just Qin's calculation.

It seemed that Qin was helping Wei, but in fact it was harming Wei. Now the connection between Wei and Zhao had been cut off, and the incident of Lord Xinling saving Zhao could never happen again. However, Qin also had to guard against the possibility that Chu would lend a helping hand in the future process of annexing Wei. It also had to guard against the possibility that Wei would send troops to help Han when Qin annexed Han.

Therefore, although it seemed that Qin was helping Wei, it was actually harming Wei. When Qin helped Wei seize Chu's share of Song land, Wei would become the target of public criticism. At that time, if Wei was in danger, Chu would certainly watch it die because of its resentment. And when Qin annexed Han, Wei did not have the courage to confront Qin.

These are the information that Yang Chong has. It may seem like not much, but this is something that can only be seen because he has a vision that can transcend time.

Therefore, Yang Chong knew that as Qin State put Wei State into the situation it wanted, Han State would not be far from death.

If there was no Yang Chong, Qin's first target would still be Zhao, and it would drag Zhao to exhaustion until its life was taken. But now because of the appearance of Yang Chong, Qin would most likely attack Han first, and after completely solving the problem of Han, it would focus on Zhao.

It was based on this judgment that Yang Chong invited Wei Zhuang into the Palace of King Qi.

Han was annexed by Qin, and this was a reality that no one could change. After all, Han was now surrounded by Qin on three sides, and had almost become a country within Qin. Naturally, a dead end was waiting for Han, and even Yang Chong could not change anything.

But after Han was annexed by Qin, Yang Chong was able to accomplish many things, such as gathering talents from all walks of life in Han.

South Korea's military manufacturing is the best in the world and is not inferior to Qin in terms of sophistication. It has accumulated a large number of skilled craftsmen in the military industry, and these people are exactly what Yang Chong needs.

In addition, there are talents such as Han Fei, Han Yu, Zhang Liang and Wei Zhuang.

There is no need to say much about Han Fei and Zhang Liang. Han Yu can also be called a hero and is considered one of the few smart people in Korea. As for Wei Zhuang, he is also of great use to Yang Chong.

Yang Chong was not sure about Wei Zhuang's ability on the battlefield. After all, in the original time and space, Wei Zhuang had few opportunities to show his ability on the battlefield, and the Kingdom of Han was destroyed anyway, so Wei Zhuang's ability to command troops remained to be confirmed.

But Wei Zhuang's ability in another aspect is unquestionable, that is the ability to maintain public order.

After all, as the leader of Liusha and the boss of the Korean underworld, Wei Zhuang has a deep understanding of the civilian forces outside the unofficial rule, and these are precisely the most unstable group of people in the security of a city or a country.

Letting Wei Zhuang be the commander of the Linzi Inspection Camp was an excellent choice for Yang Chong. Letting a gangster giant be in charge of public security was a brilliant choice, and the person who knew the most about the unconventional ways had to be one of their own.

Wei Zhuang naturally didn't know what Yang Chong was planning on him, so he looked puzzled at this moment, wondering how Yang Chong had the time to invite him.

"Brother Wei Zhuang, I hope you are well." Yang Chong stood up and said.

"I am naturally the same as always, but you, King Qi, have given me such a big shock." Wei Zhuang still maintained his usual demeanor.

In this respect, Zongheng's disciples are no less than others throughout their lives.

"There are not many things that can shock you, Wei Zhuang. It seems you can be content with yourself." Zi Nu said with a smile. There are some things that Yang Chong is not convenient to say, but Zi Nu can. Women are very good at adjusting the atmosphere, not to mention that Zi Nu is a woman among women.

"So I'll have one more thing to be proud of in my life." Yang Chong also said with a smile.

Wei Zhuang was quite surprised to see Yang Chong and Zi Nu like this, and he could no longer maintain his usual indifference on his face. He was not unfamiliar with Yang Chong, and he was even more familiar with Zi Nu. After all, before Han Fei, Zi Nu was the only person he could call a friend.

But it was precisely because of the familiarity that Wei Zhuang was surprised. After all, both Yang Chong and Zi Nu had different identities now.

Yang Chong was already the ruler of a country, and Zi Nu had become the queen of Northern Qi, but the two remained the same, which surprised Wei Zhuang. Of course, besides being surprised, he was more relieved, because only friends like this could be called friends.

"I'm afraid it's more than one thing. At the martial arts discussion in the Jixia Academy a few days ago, the King of Qi was very arrogant. Including me, all the masters in the world became your tools." Wei Zhuang said.

A few days ago, he personally took part in the fight and nearly died in the sword world. Even so, he had not been able to personally experience the final changes in the sword world.

Wei Zhuang asked himself, "I can't even block one of the last seven sword powers in the sword world?" When he thought of the gap between himself and Yang Chong in martial arts, he couldn't help feeling discouraged.

Of course, Wei Zhuang’s discouragement will not last forever. After all, he is also a disciple of Zongheng and has the courage and spirit of a Zongheng disciple. He can be discouraged, but he can quickly adjust his state after being discouraged.

When facing a strong person, ordinary people will despair, but people like Wei Zhuang see that catching up and constantly climbing to the top is the mentality that a strong person should have.

A person is not strong from the beginning, but a person can maintain a strong mentality from beginning to end. Wei Zhuang is obviously such a person.

"I am the King of Qi now!"

Wei Zhuang thought that Yang Chong would be humble, but he did not expect that Yang Chong was actually full of pride, just like the young man he was back then.

"So why did the King of Qi ask me to come this time?" Wei Zhuang asked. He stayed in Linzi for several days, not because of Yang Chong, but because his master Guiguzi was also in Linzi.

"In the next three years, I will form an army of 450,000 soldiers. Among these 450,000 soldiers, 150,000 will need to rotate to various places in Qi every year. That is, it will be a formally established legion. The one located in Linzi will have 50,000 people. In addition to the 15,000-strong Imperial Guards, there will be a 30,000-strong patrol battalion and 5,000-strong Sima army at the twelve city gates." Yang Chong narrated.

"Four hundred and fifty thousand soldiers? Once the King of Qi has completed the formation of this army, he will truly become a chess player in the chess game of the world, and can play against King Zheng of Qin." Wei Zhuang's expression moved slightly. Yang Chong's bold words in Xinzheng that year were about to be half realized.

"These are just later talks. Now let's talk about the 40,000-man Linzi Inspection Battalion. This army is still lacking a commander." Yang Chongdao made his intentions clear.

"Could the King of Qi be inviting me to be the leader of this inspection camp?" Wei Zhuang asked in surprise and confusion.

Chapter 274 Moon Goddess and Yan Fei

"The former great general of the Kingdom of Han is more than qualified to be the commander of a patrol camp in my Qi State." Yang Chong said jokingly with a hint of seriousness.

Of course, the Inspection Camp was just Yang Chong's temporary arrangement for Wei Zhuang. According to Yang Chong, Wei Zhuang was actually more suitable for another job.

The Qin State has Luowang, and Yang Chong also has Yemu, but Yang Chong looks down on Luowang and Yemu. After all, they are not presentable things. However, their intelligence system is what Yang Chong needs.

Therefore, Yang Chong intends to push Nightfall to the forefront and let it transform into another institution under the sun.

Such organizations have existed in all dynasties, but the most famous one is the Jinyiwei. Yang Chong was very interested in establishing a similar organizational system, and Wei Zhuang became the best candidate for leader.

After all, although Wei Zhuang's ability as a general still needs time to be verified, his talent as a killer leader and intelligence chief has been proven in practice.

However, compared to the establishment of the Jinyiwei, Yang Chong is more in need of a general to lead the troops in battle, so he can only see whether Wei Zhuang can be used as a general to lead the troops.

"I am now the general of South Korea." Wei Zhuang refused.

"Of course I know. Don't forget, you could become the general of Han State because of my help in killing Ji Wuye. Without my help, you and Han Fei would still be fighting with Ji Wuye happily." Yang Chong said.

"Han Fei and I do need to thank the King of Qi for this matter. However, weren't most of the inheritance left by Ji Wuye taken away by the King of Qi? From this point of view, the King of Qi has not lost anything." Wei Zhuang said these words of appreciation, but there was not much gratitude in his heart. It was all for the sake of interests. It would be naive to say that it was all about feelings.

"After all, it is Wei Zhuang. As the saying goes, he who keeps company with vermilion becomes red, and he who keeps company with ink becomes black. After being in contact with Han Fei for a long time, he has learned some of Han Fei's shamelessness. Let's not talk about this matter for now. The general of Han State will never work for me. But what if it is just Wei Zhuang? Is it possible for Wei Zhuang to work for me?" Yang Chong asked.

"But the fact is that Wei Zhuang is the general of South Korea." Wei Zhuang said coldly.

"Wei Zhuang, you might as well listen to his reasons. You know, when it comes to words, Han Fei may not be his opponent." Zi Nu said from the side to smooth things over.

"Since I know how powerful the King of Qi is, I'd better not listen." Wei Zhuang said rationally.

Wei Zhuang was aware of Yang Chong's ability to deceive people. After all, even a difficult woman like Zi Nu was deceived by Yang Chong. Yang Chong was also able to use the power of Zhao to restore his country. All these things were enough to prove Yang Chong's eloquence.

However, Wei Zhuang's reason told him that he'd better not listen to Yang Chong, but he was also a very curious person.

Yang Chong was well aware of this, so he ignored Wei Zhuang's refusal and said directly: "Han will soon cease to exist, and you, the general of Han, will naturally cease to exist. At that time, Wei Zhuang, who is no longer the general of Han, can serve Qi."

"Don't worry, this position is definitely not low. Although it is not a general, Qi is not comparable to Han. By then, even if you, Wei Zhuang, have 100,000 soldiers under your command, it is not impossible for you to dominate the world."

Yang Chong can be said to be patient and persuasive.

"What makes you think that the Kingdom of Korea will cease to exist?" Wei Zhuang retorted. He believed that he would never be fooled by Yang Chong. The deception between words and the manipulation of people's hearts in a blink of an eye were exactly what the strategists were best at.

"Because I know King Zheng of Qin better than you do." Yang Chong said.

"Han Fei also understands King Zheng of Qin. King Zheng of Qin even spared no expense to invite Han Fei to Qin. With Han Fei here..." Wei Zhuang retorted.

Yang Chong understood Qin Wangzheng? Wei Zhuang didn't believe this. How much contact did Yang Chong have with Qin Wangzheng? How much contact did Han Fei have with Qin Wangzheng? Could Yang Chong's understanding of Qin Wangzheng be better than Han Fei's?

"Han Fei will only die faster in Qin." Yang Chong interrupted Wei Zhuang directly.

The last trip that King Zheng of Qin made to Han State without regard for his own safety gave Han Fei, Wei Zhuang and others the illusion that King Zheng of Qin really regarded Han Fei as a teacher, but this was just wishful thinking on the part of Han Fei and others.

Yang Chong even suspected that the biggest purpose of King Zheng of Qin's trip to Xinzheng was to lure out the snakes from their holes, to lure out those restless people in Qin, to identify who belonged to him and who he needed to get rid of. As for meeting Han Fei, it was just a convenience.

Because he wanted to meet Han Fei, King Zheng of Qin had too many ways to achieve this goal, and there was no need to risk his own safety and go to Xinzheng.

Isn't Han Fei going to Xianyang obediently now?

"What does the King of Qi mean by this?" Wei Zhuang's heart sank. Yang Chong's words made him feel something was wrong.

"What King Zheng of Qin needs is Han Fei's book, not Han Fei himself," said Yang Chong.

"What makes you so sure?" Wei Zhuang didn't believe it.

"Haven't you heard a saying? The person who knows you best is often your enemy. Let me ask, who in the world today, except me, is qualified to be the enemy of King Qin Zheng? As an enemy, of course I am the person who knows King Qin Zheng best." Yang Chong said. Although his words were a bit absurd, they were true.

"Will Han Fei really be in danger in Qin?" Wei Zhuang could no longer maintain his state of mind. He had a hunch that Yang Chong's words might not be alarmist.

"If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely die." Yang Chong said firmly.

"This?" Wei Zhuang was speechless for a moment. His heart was completely confused.

"You mean if there is no accident, what if there is an accident?" Zi Nu grasped the key to the problem.

"Isn't what I said now a surprise to Wei Zhuang?" Yang Chong pointed at himself.

For this world, Yang Chong is the biggest surprise.

"Can the King of Qi rescue Han Fei?" Wei Zhuang asked hurriedly.

He regarded Han Fei as his confidant, so naturally he would not sit idly by and watch Han Fei die in Qin. If possible, he was willing to rescue Han Fei from Qin at all costs.

"I am the king. Can I still enter Qin to save Han Fei? Besides, smart people are self-righteous. Before things happen, they will only believe in their own judgment." Yang Chong said.

As the King of Qi, could he go to Xianyang by himself to rescue Han Fei?
