"Report~, my lord, General Long Qie led his army to successfully capture the Wei and Han lands. The lord has captured two of the three Jin lands. He will dominate the world and is just around the corner."
"Report~, inform my lord that the Zhao army has successfully captured Handan. Half of the Zhao land is owned by the lord. The Zhao palace is also well preserved. It can be moved in after some repairs."
"Report ~, Lord, the army has successfully captured the entire territory of Qi. Except for a few remnants of the Qin State who fled to the sea to escape, there are no Qin officials in Qi, only officials who are loyal to the Lord."
"Qi Wang Palace is also well preserved and can be moved in with a little repair."
…
Liu Ji was lying on a reclining chair, eating fruit fed by the maid, listening to the good news, with a look of contentment on his face.
Ever since the Confucian sage helped him to be promoted to Grandmaster, Liu Ji has been going smoothly recently, and he seems to be destined to do so.
First, the attitude of the Confucian people has undergone great changes.
The Confucian sage came to Pei County in person and used his supreme cultivation to help Liu Ji ascend to heaven.
After the news spread, all the Confucian scholars were envious and jealous of Liu Ji, but they did not look down on him.
The Confucian scholar who used to have his nostrils turned upward and always look at Liu Ji with a condescending look has disappeared no more.
No matter how those Confucian scholars viewed Liu Ji secretly, they were full of enthusiasm on the surface. After all, he was a person valued by Confucian sages.
Confucian disciples, who dares to blatantly look down on someone whom the Confucian sage values?
Secondly, the way Liu Ji and Zhang Liang get along has changed a lot.
Before Liu Ji was promoted to Grandmaster, the conversations between him and Zhang Liang were always a bit polite and cautious, for fear of accidentally offending one of them.
After being promoted to the Grand Master realm, Liu Ji became much more casual in his words and deeds. His increase in strength gave him the confidence to face everything.
In addition, the frequent good news made Liu Ji feel relieved.
If this continues, it won't be long before Liu Ji becomes the king of Guandong, lives in a luxurious palace, and enjoys countless glory and wealth.
After receiving the news that Qidi had been captured, Liu Ji immediately told an attendant: "Go and ask the military advisor to come to the lobby. Tell him that you have important matters to discuss with him."
The attendant hurriedly left after receiving the order. After a while, Zhang Liang came to the county government hall, saluted Liu Ji, and asked, "Why did the Lord call me here?"
Liu Ji coughed lightly and said: "Nowadays, most of the land of Yan, Zhao, Qi, Lu, Wei and Han has fallen into Gu's hands. I have heard that as a king, if you want to govern the four directions, you should pay attention to your dignity."
"Gu summoned the military advisor this time to discuss how to maintain Gu's dignity?"
Zhang Liang nodded slightly and said: "What my lord said is absolutely true. I wonder how my lord wants to maintain his dignity?"
Liu Jixian pointed to the beam above his head and said: "I want to have a palace that is unparalleled in the world, not a simple county government."
Then he pointed to the guards standing aside and said: "Gu wants to have a personal guard that is always dedicated to Gu, just like the Qin Imperial Guards. It can protect Gu's safety at ordinary times, and can also serve as a large army at critical moments."
"Instead of these people in front of me, there are three or two big cats and kittens, whose cultivation level is not as good as one of Gu's fingers. If there are really assassins, I don't know whether Gu is protecting them or they are protecting Gu?"
Zhang Liang stood aside and listened carefully, nodding repeatedly, until Liu Ji finished speaking, then he said, "What my lord said is absolutely true. Is there anything else besides these?"
Liu Ji thought for a while and said: "That's all for now. The military advisor will tell you how to solve it?"
Zhang Liang smiled slightly and said: "I wonder how my lord wants to solve it?"
Liu Ji stopped pretending and said bluntly: "In the past few days, I sent people to visit Zhao Palace and Qi Palace. Both palaces are in good condition and only need a few days of repairs before they can be moved in. I want to ask the military advisor
, which palace should I choose?"
"As for the Imperial Guards, just select a few thousand people from the army. Don't go to too much trouble."
Zhang Liang followed Liu Ji's words and said: "What the lord said is absolutely true. I will arrange for people to do it according to the lord's ideas."
"In addition, my lord, there is one more thing that needs to be prepared."
A look of surprise appeared on Liu Ji's face and he asked: "What's the matter?"
Zhang Liang looked at Liu Ji and uttered two words seriously: "Be king."
"Since ancient times, a true name means a true word. Now that my lord controls half of the world, it's time to gain the rightful name."
Liu Ji was stunned when he heard this. He didn't know how to answer Zhang Liang for a while. When a messenger stumbled into the county government hall, hissing: "Urgent report, Lin Ze, the leader of the Western Qin Dynasty, led an army to attack Handan. The city of Handan was destroyed and the entire army of 50,000 was wiped out.
."
When Liu Ji was in high spirits, he heard that Handan had been captured and his army was destroyed. He immediately said angrily: "How dare you, the traitor Lin Ze, occupy my territory?"
As soon as Liu Ji finished his words, another messenger rushed into the county government hall, holding a document in his hand and saying: "To report to my lord, General Dong Huan led an army of 50,000 people all the way to the west. The officials of the State of Qin looked at the wind and descended.
When I was attacking Jinyang a few days ago, I accidentally caused an ambush by the enemy."
"Fifty thousand troops, dead and surrendered, hundreds of miles around Jinyang City fell into the hands of the Western Qin."
"Here is a personal letter written by the leader of the Western Qin Kingdom to my lord. Please check it."
Liu Ji took the document and opened it. There were only a few words on it:
"Liu Ji, why do you and I send a large army to attack Jinyang and kill my soldiers?"
"I have nothing to do with the world. I only want to live in peace of mind. Now you send a large army to attack Jinyang and kill more than 2,000 of my soldiers. I will not avenge this and I swear that I will not be a human being."
"Liu Ji, just wait for my army's revenge."
Liu Ji felt confused after reading it: When did Jinyang become Linze's? Aren't all the territories there under the name of the Qin State?
Liu Ji handed the document to Zhang Liang and asked, "Military advisor, please help me find out what Lin Ze means."
Zhang Liang took the document, glanced at it, his expression suddenly changed, and he gritted his teeth and said: "If you want to accuse me, why bother, my lord, Linze of the Western Qin Dynasty is also paying attention to the land of Yanzhao."
"As a result, the army's attack on the land of Yanzhao has become complicated, and there have been many changes. If the lord wants to conquer the land of Yanzhao, he will not have to fight with the other party."
Liu Ji looked ugly and said: "Military advisor, do you think it's really such a coincidence? This Lin Ze didn't take action sooner or later, but he sent a large army to capture the land of Yan and Zhao, and then he took action. This was obviously intentional.
Looking for trouble."
"I have a hunch that Lin Ze must have learned that we defeated Qin's 200,000-strong army and will come over to fight for the benefits."
"This wolf is so ambitious that he even confuses right and wrong. The military advisor must find a way to drive him out of the land of Yan and Zhao."
"No," Zhang Liang bowed and bowed in response to Liu Ji, and then said to the messenger delivering the document: "Can you find out how many troops the Western Qin sent to seize the land of Yan and Zhao this time?"
The messenger thought for a while and asked: "I don't know, I fought with the Western Qin several times. Before I could see clearly what the opponent was like, I was scattered by my companions."
Zhang Liang shouted in a deep voice: "Then why don't you go and inquire?"
The messenger's face turned pale, he cupped his hands and left quickly.
After the messenger left, Zhang Liang saw the worry on Liu Ji's face and comforted him: "My lord, don't worry. Most of Lin Ze's troops have been sent by him to capture the far west. Who can be sent to capture Yan and Zhao?"
The army on earth is only a handful, so my lord may not be incapable of fighting."
"Even if the lord cannot recapture Yan, Zhao, Wei, Han, Qilu, the land is enough for the lord to greatly increase his strength and strive for world hegemony."
