Several people were the main figures within the Taoist family, and the leader they recognised was naturally the leader of the Taoist family.
“This matter is settled,”
Old Taoist Yellowstone continued.
“You guys hurry up and think of a story out of this.”
“Send a letter to the south, gather all the Taoist disciples in the world and gather in Xianyang.”
Nowadays, the main audience of Great Qin were ordinary people, even if the Taoist canon could be printed in thousands and thousands of copies afterwards.
But if they really want to spread out, it’s still these little stories that work.
The others also nodded their heads in succession.
They also knew how important what they were doing was.
This was because Zhao Lang had told them long ago that, on a smaller scale, the Taoists were providing comfort to the hearts of ordinary people.
On a larger scale, Taoism was also carrying the burden of enriching Chinese civilisation, and even the future development of external spirituality.
Therefore, it is difficult, but everyone is doing their best.
Just settled this matter, but also not rest on their laurels, soon someone asked.
“Old Huang ah, these things are good, but this time those soldiers who died in battle, after returning, where to be buried?”
This war, the deaths and injuries can be quite a lot.
Even if only a portion of them were transported back, then it would be a large number, where to bury so many people is a problem.
Old Taoist Yellowstone thought about it and didn’t have a clue, clattering back, he said.
“This matter, let the crown prince decide.”
Soon, there was a messenger with the news, speeding all the way towards the south.
A few days later.
A small county in the Chu land.
Here Xiang’s flag has long since disappeared, replaced by a banner of Great Qin.
The result of the Battle of Gaixia is also known to the people of Chu.
The king was defeated, and the Chu land, once again, returned to the rule of Qin.
Only this time, unlike the first time after being destroyed, countless Chu people then had indignation and grief in their hearts.
This time, the reaction of the nobles was a bit numb, and those nobles with the strongest reaction had already died on the battlefield.
The rest, because of Yi Di’s death, Chu’s orthodoxy no longer existed, and other thoughts were much smaller.
As for the common people, they even breathed a sigh of relief, after consecutive conquests, the people had reached the edge of exhaustion.
Not to mention, the slow infiltration of the Nong family had also made them feel a little bit more favourable towards the leader of the Nong family who was the crown prince of Great Qin.
Everyone just wanted to live a good life now.
At this moment, on the city wall, several figures were standing on it, looking at the scenery outside the city…
“How come there are trees and grass everywhere in this sh*tty place!”
“It’s also so hot and humid!”
Hu Hai looked at the lush greenery in front of him, but he complained.
These days, they led the army and urged Xiang’s people all the way to the south.
By the way, they took over all these places.
After all, it was impossible to really let Xiang Yu recruit the noble people on his own.
Then he realised that these places are big, but in every aspect, they can’t be compared to the northern part of Qin.
The roads are narrow, and the grass on the side of the road is growing like crazy.
If there is no one to maintain it, it is estimated that within a few months, these simple roads will be covered by grass and trees.
Zhao Lang said with a smile at this time.
“This is a good place for planting.”
It was an extremely normal thing for grass to flourish in the south, and likewise, as long as it was developed, this place could harvest two to three seasons of crops a year.
Not to mention other economically beneficial crops, precious timber, spices, and so on.
All these things, can be money.
Just as a few people were talking, a Qin soldier hurried over and reported.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, Xiang has come, General Meng asks you to return to the barracks.”
Zhao Lang nodded and turned around with his men to leave.
Within a short time, Zhao Lang arrived at the military camp, Meng Yi was sitting on the upper seat at this time, and a Xiang Clan messenger was standing below.
Seeing Zhao Lang, Meng Yi quickly got up and saluted before handing Zhao Lang a roll of cloth and silk, the
“This is the person they are taking away.”
Xiang was going to leave with people who were loyal to him, which Zhao Lang had promised.
“Forty thousand people.”
Zhao Lang looked at the cloth.
This number was not much, and it also showed in another way that Xiang had lost his heart in Chu.
Zhao Lang nodded and quickly said.
“As long as you guys don’t force it.”
“Right, did you bring over the gold this time?”
Xiang’s emissary said with a few moments of resignation and humiliation.
“The gold is right outside, please still release it.”
Zhao Lang waved his hand and said.
“Go and invite the several honourable guests out and weigh them.”
Hearing that a few people were about to be weighed like animals, Xiang Clan’s emissary’s face didn’t look too good as he said.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, weighing is not necessary, my king has given enough money this time, the king said that the extra is considered a gift for you!”
Zhao Lang’s eyes lit up when he heard this and said.
“Oh? How much gold did your king send? You must know that these days, I am extremely hospitable to several people.”
“They all weigh quite a bit.”
With this kind of wool-gathering opportunity, how could Zhao Lang let it go?
These days were filled with good wine and meat.
You know, this is all money.
Xiang Clan’s emissary was stunned as he listened, he had never thought that Zhao Lang would actually do this.
Gritting his teeth, he said with some meaty pain.
“Three hundred catties of gold! There are also jewellery supplies! It’s worth a lot of money! Just put it outside the barracks, it can be inspected!”
Wanting to actually put together the equivalent of several people’s worth of gold was still a bit difficult.
It could only be offset with other materials.
Zhao Lang’s eyes glistened as he listened and turned to Meng Yi at the side.
Meng Yi quietly nodded his head, and Zhao Lang’s face instantly revealed a smile, saying.
“That’s not necessary, I naturally trust you guys.”
“Someone, invite a few people out!”
Soon, Fan Zeng, Xiang Zhuang, and Yu Ji walked out.
Seeing Xiang’s emissaries, Yu Ji was the first to walk over in excitement and
“Ziqi! It’s you who came!”
Xiang’s emissary was none other than Yu Ziqi, and the two of them walked straight to each other.
Both slightly teary-eyed, only Yu Ziqi looked at Yu Ji who had mellowed out quite a bit, the words in his heart that you have suffered, but how could he not say it.
And then look at the other people, one by one all mellowed a lot, which makes the original should be mutual crying scene is a little awkward.
Yu Ziqi could only say at this time.
“Since the things have been delivered, then I will take my leave.”
“Within a month, Xiang will leave this place!”
Yu Ziqi was about to leave after saying that, when he came, Long Tho had already explained.
This time when you come over, you must tolerate everything, and bringing the man back is a great honour.
Only after only two steps, he found something wrong, but Xiang Bo on the side did not move, even Fan Zeng looked at Zhao Lang with a complicated expression.
He was just about to speak out when he heard Xiang Bo squirm and say.
“Zhuang’er, you that speak to Yu’er, I won’t go back, Little Uncle.”
He doesn’t want to go with Xiang Yu to suffer in the south, how comfortable is it to follow his brother Zhao?
Brother Zhao can say that there is a throne waiting for him.
Xiang Zhuang gave a muffled hmmm, these days, he has seen that his little uncle has long surrendered!
It’s just that things have come to this point, but it’s meaningless.
However, he is more concerned about Fan Zeng, who is on the side…
“Sir, you…”
Fan Zeng at this time, however, revealed an extremely bland smile and said.
“Old me is old, so I won’t follow the Overlord.”
“There is only one roll of cloth and silk for him,”
With that, Fan Zeng took out a roll of cloth and silk and handed it to Xiang Zhuang, continuing.
“As for the money spent on this, consider it as my old man’s salary for these years.”
Xiang Zhuang hesitated for a while, but still nodded, then took the cloth and silk, saying.
“Ah Zhuang thanks Sir for Ah Yu.”
A hint of self-deprecation surfaced on Fan Zeng’s face and said.
“It’s good that he doesn’t hate old me, you guys go.”
Seeing this scene, the Yu Ziqi people on the side were dumbfounded.
He came to ransom people, but this is good, two of the four people have to stay.
How can we go back?
Xiang Zhuang, who is still on the sidelines, made the decision to leave directly after saluting.
After Xiang Zhuang left, Fan Zeng looked at Zhao Lang and said.
“Crown Prince of Great Qin, won’t you persuade Lao Fu?”
This question, however, directly made the several people in the tent confused for a moment.
Even Xiang Bo, who was on the side, stared and said.
“Old man! I have advised you for a long time before!”
After capturing Xiang Bo and Fan Zeng, Xiang Bo did not spend much time persuading the two to surrender.
But the two simply ignored him!
How is it that now that they can leave, they are falling back on themselves?
Are you looking down on Xiang Bo?
Even Zhao Lang was slightly surprised, he knows about Fan Zeng’s talent.
Xiang’s ability to rise in such a short period of time has most of the other party’s credit.
If it wasn’t for the use of the stratagem of separation, separating Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng’s relationship.
The situation in Chudi would not have opened up so easily.
It’s just that he didn’t expect that the other party would actually ask for a direct surrender now!
“Why?”
Zhao Lang asked with a few moments of curiosity.
Even though he knew that this face of his was indeed extremely handsome.
Yet, he didn’t feel that it was just enough to make Fan Zeng fall on his head and worship him.
Not to mention, the other party’s current fate could be said to be caused by him.
Now, he took the initiative to ask to surrender, the trick here is not to ask clearly, even if this person is a great talent, he would not dare to use.
Fan Zeng said at this time.
“I have heard some words from His Highness the Crown Prince about the people these days, but I don’t know if they are true or not?”
“If it is true, old me is willing to serve as a dog and horse.”
Zhao Lang’s eyebrows raised, those words of his, Xiang Yu didn’t understand, Fan Zeng did!
With a solemn face, Zhao Lang directly stood up and said.
“Naturally true!”
Hearing this, Fan Zeng directly bent down and saluted, saying.
“In that case, old me is willing to be driven by Your Highness the Crown Prince.”
Everyone only knows that he, Fan Zeng, is Xiang Yu’s sub-father.
But few people know that his family lineage is actually average, and know how difficult it is for an unusual family lineage to rise to prominence.
Otherwise, there is no need to spend so many years to accumulate fame and get this opportunity now.
He was not a person who was indifferent to fame and fortune, and now, it was a good opportunity.
Although Zhao Lang still had some doubts in his heart at this time, he still helped the other party up and said.
“Since this is the case, then the restoration of Chu Di will be a burden on you, sir. ”
He already had Xiao He, Chen Ping, internal affairs, and logistics were no longer a problem.
Only the Chu land side, far away from Xianyang, it was not bad to have a strategist to keep an eye on it.
What’s more, using Fan Zeng to prevent Xiang Yu from making small moves is more than appropriate.
Of course, the other party is old, so sending a few people to take care of the other party is also the right thing to do.
Fan Zeng naturally accepted the order.
After arranging all these people one by one.
Zhao Lang sat in the camp, but he couldn’t help but feel slightly empty.
Ever since he came to Great Qin, he could say that he was under some sort of tension every moment.
Without this sense of urgency, he was instead somewhat uncomfortable.
When one relaxed, one would want to do something.
Just as Zhao Lang was pondering whether or not he should go find Ji Wushuang to take revenge, Hu Hai, who was on the sidelines at this time, asked, with a little bit of excitement.
“Brother Long, are we even done with things on our side?”
Zhao Lang nodded and
“Sort of finished.”
Just waiting for Xiang Yu to leave with his men.
Hu Hai almost jumped up and said.
“Brother Lang, then what are we waiting for? Let’s hurry and pack up! Let’s go back!”
This time, Hu Hei didn’t have the slightest scruple to say what was in his heart.
He followed Zhao Lang from the south of the sky to the north of the earth, how much suffering did he endure along the way?
How many battles had he fought? Couldn’t he still be powerful?
Zhao Lang didn’t crack down on him this time, but smiled and said.
“Good, when we go back this time, let you be the first to enter the city.”
Hearing this, Hu Hai immediately smiled so much that his eyes narrowed.
His heart was now filled with the scene of his riding his horse and receiving cheers from the people of Xianyang!
Only Meng Yi on the side had his complexion slightly moved, as if there was something going on, and was just about to speak.
At this time a messenger hurriedly walked in and
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, His Majesty writes back.”
Several people rose at once, Zhao Lang took the letter and after reading it, he frowned slightly and said.
“Father told us to return to Xianyang earlier.”
“The Huns are attacking the Great Wall, but it is necessary to prepare early.”
Now that the Chu land had been pacified, it was time to deal with the Xiong Nu.
Pops also said that when Great Qin recuperates for two years, then it will go deeper into the Xiong Nu royal court, and this time, the Xiong Nu must be uprooted!
This proposal he praised.
Great Qin did indeed need to recuperate.
Just wondering if the Huns, who were now in their military prime, would give them time to recuperate.
Feeling a sense of urgency once again, soon enough, Zhao Lang no longer hesitated and ordered that the
“Your Excellency Meng, the Chu land still needs you to hold down the fort for a period of time, I will take a portion of my soldiers and return to Xianyang first.”
Meng Yi naturally took the order, but just looking at Zhao Lang who acted decisively, he gritted his teeth and said.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, the land of Baiyue is also not far from here, do you want to stop by to see Zhao Tuo and the Qin soldiers here?”
Hearing this, Zhao Lang was slightly stunned and
“Zhao Tuo?”
—
At this time, the land of Baiyue, which Great Qin had only recently conquered.
Inside a small county official residence near the land of Chu.
A big, sturdy man was listening to the report of a Qin soldier, the
“General Zhao, a messenger has reported to the world that Gaixia has won a great victory and pacified the Chu land.”
“His Highness the Crown Prince is also in Chu.”
When the big sturdy man heard this, he froze slightly and said.
“To actually pacify the Chu land so quickly?”
“Just what kind of character is this Crown Prince that came out of nowhere?”
These questions, of course, the messenger could not answer.
The big burly man scoffed to himself at this time and
“So it seems that the 30,000 troops that His Majesty asked me to prepare are not needed.”
“And I’m afraid that this Crown Prince doesn’t even know that there are still Great Qin’s people here .”
“Does Great Qin still remember us?”
