In January and February, people in the entire Zhao area were frightened into silence by Lu Yan's butcher knife, and various places entered a state of fearful peace. Gradually, there was no longer an execution ground in the east city of Handan City.
Lu Yan knew that peace under such fear could not last long, otherwise something would happen sooner or later. Fortunately, he had already considered it, and the coming spring plowing would be a good time to appease the people.
On this day, he personally visited the Zhu family and brought his wife Nongyu with him.
When Nongyu saw the Zhu family, she greeted him immediately and said, "I have met Mr. Zhu family."
"Madam, don't you dare." The Zhu family was a little confused. They didn't understand what Lu Yan was doing by bringing his wife with him.
He showed a confused look on his face, "Master National Preceptor, why did you come to see me?"
Lu Yan sighed and replied: "Spring plowing is approaching. This should be a good thing to boost the morale of Zhao people, but because of the previous murderous spirit, the people are panicked. My husband and I would like to ask you to take some time to
I will teach you all the essentials of spring plowing."
The Zhu family were even more confused when they heard this. They held a mustache with one hand and stretched out the other hand to interrupt, "Wait a minute, Mr. Imperial Preceptor, why are you and your wife learning this farming thing?"
"In this Zhao land, my reputation is bound to Qin Fa's reputation. The people are afraid of me and afraid of the law. Being fearful but disrespectful is a recipe for harm." Lu Yan said as he glanced at Nong Yu and showed his face.
Yixiao said, "If my husband and I can be like ordinary people and farm together with them, supplemented by appropriate publicity and momentum, over time, the Zhao people may not be so resistant to me."
"Master Imperial Master, you have official duties to deal with every day, and you have to go to the fields to cultivate in person, and even bring your wife with you. This..."
The Zhu family didn't understand. They had never seen anyone like Lu Yan.
Lu Yan waved his hand, shook his head and said with a smile: "It's no big deal. Don't forget, we all know martial arts. We are used to being bored in the government office, so we just relax when we go to work in the fields every day.
For me, it is an easy show, but for the people, it has a great inspiring effect. Why not do it?"
It’s a pity that there are no such political shows in the world to win over people’s hearts~
The Zhu family sighed in their hearts and agreed happily: "In that case, I will take care of it."
"The Zhao Kingdom fought a war last year, and the farming industry was greatly affected. How are you preparing for improved seeds?"
"Don't worry, I have already informed the king to transfer it from Taiyuan County. It belongs to Zhao, and the soil quality is not much different."
Lu Yan looked at Zhu's silly face and couldn't help but feel narcissistic about how right he was to capture her back.
"Well, professional things should be left to professionals. Please give me more advice in the coming year."
He looked at Nongyu again and said jokingly: "Nongyu, I said before that the mountain flowers were blooming, so I held hands with you. This time I can experience retirement life in advance."
Nong Yu returned a look, her smart eyes were playful, and she teased: "Husband, I have learned a lot from Senior Li Mu. Don't let me be the worse for you. That would be a loss of face."
"Hahaha, you are confident. Since ancient times, men have farmed and women have weaved. This is not unreasonable."
"Then let's look back, huh."
The Zhu family looked at Nongyu's attitude when talking to Lu Yan, with a yellow face and an "O" shape in her mouth.
The relationship between you two is indeed as good as rumored, but you are not treating me, Lao Zhu, as an outsider.
"Ahem, Master National Preceptor, I remembered something about the fine seeds, and there are still some things that I need to confirm in person..."
Lu Yan and Nong Yu looked at each other and bowed to say goodbye.
…
In Pingyuan Jun's Mansion, the sun casts its rays of light in the sky, illuminating the pavilions and pavilions, leaving uneven shadows on the ground. Several swallows are building a nest under the eaves of a roof.
"Hey~ This blind thing built a nest and ran into our house."
A servant cursed and went to find a pole, ready to destroy the bird's nest.
"what are you up to?"
A steady man's voice came, and the servant immediately put down his pole and stood up, then bent down and lowered his head, "Your Majesty, I am preparing to drive away those flat-haired animals."
Zhao Ling looked up and saw several flying swallows. Their wings were light and graceful, leaving a little vibrato in the air.
Zhao Ling's eyesight was very good. The feathers of the swallows were cyan, and the eyes on their heads were as bright as pearls. Their petite bodies flew across the sky, as if they were leaving a murmuring voice.
He asked: "The flying swallows announcing spring are a good sign. Why are you driving them away?"
"This... all the buildings in the house are very precious. Isn't it a bit strange to let swallows build their nests..." The servant could see that the master seemed to like the swallows, so he didn't say anything harsh.
Zhao Ling watched the swallows busy in the sky, with a smile on his face, and said leisurely: "Flying swallows hold mud in their mouths, and everything is renewed. Keep them, and remember to feed them something every day."
"Yes, the villain knows."
…
Everything in Zhao Di is moving forward smoothly, and the battle in the south has finally come to an end.
Tian Guang's death brought internal turmoil to the Chu State, and the peasant family once again entered a state of leaderlessness.
However, what Xiong Qi's death brought to Qin was an extremely strong desire to attack.
The war between the Chu army and the Qin army in Nanyang lasted for such a long time. Counting the previous civil war, the Chu state also fought for a full year, and everyone suffered heavy losses.
Seeing that the spring plowing in the country was about to begin, the Qin army was still attacking like crazy and would not give up until Nanyang was broken. Most people in the Chu court felt that it was extremely uneconomical to continue fighting this battle, and even if it continued, it might not be possible to win.
, then simply withdraw the troops.
Xiang Yan on the front line was very conflicted. On the one hand, he knew the importance of Nanyang for the future battle between Qin and Chu, but on the other hand, he did not want to waste his direct troops in order to protect this place.
The decision came from the court at the rear, okay, let’s not fight and retreat.
Xiang Yan took advantage of Wang Ben's extreme desire for victory and fought a beautiful battle to lure the enemy before withdrawing his troops. After a small victory, Xiang Yan left.
Wang Ben's army occupied Nanyang and completely captured the previous Han Dynasty.
At this point, the second stage of Qin's plan to unify the world was basically completed.
The three lands of Zhao, Wei, Han and Jin were included in the territory, and they already had an absolute advantage in terms of the topography of the world.
At the same time, Yan and Chu both suffered heavy blows. Without more than five years of cultivation, there was no way they could recover.
And in the next five years, it will be time to dominate the world. How can I let you continue to cultivate?
Now that the situation has reached this point, it depends on how the remaining three countries can survive in the next few days.
"The Chu State was defeated, and the situation has reached this point without realizing it... There is only one way left to contain the Qin State." Han Fei put down the information in his hand, stood up, and looked resolutely to the east.
Wei Zhuang stood side by side with him holding a shark tooth and added his words: "Completely change Qi's stance."
"Qi Wang Jian and Prime Minister Hou Sheng have been fed well by the Qin State. It is difficult to change their stance." Zi Nu Nana walked over and stared at Han Fei with watery eyes.
Honglian sneered and said: "You are about to be treated as a fat pig and killed for meat, don't you know how to save yourself?"
Han Fei turned to blink at her and praised: "Hong Lian is right. The situation is like this. If King Qi can't see clearly, he is really a fat pig."
Wei Zhuang suddenly rubbed the hilt of the shark-tooth sword and said nothing because he thought of Han Wangan.
