It was only then that Shen Bing finally felt relieved.
There is no way that these three counties will be in chaos. In addition, Da Qin is governed by Legalism. It will not be long before the three counties are on the right track.
At this time, Shen Bing couldn't help but sigh again:
It's really not easy to stay alive in this time and space.
When there is a war, there are dangers everywhere, and when there is no war, there are also undercurrents.
If you keep playing like this, you will be scared to death even if you don't die on the battlefield!
Shen Bing had nothing to do so he checked with a few people at the city gate.
Of course guarding the city gate is not that simple.
Ren and several armored guards led two teams of craftsmen to inspect the city gate, while Yan Ze led fifty gunners and craftsmen to guard the city. When he saw that the situation was not right, he would condescendingly shoot suspicious targets with crossbows.
This is still the first level of city gate.
The second-level city gate was guarded by two hundred soldiers under Zhang Xuan's command.
Due to the severe shortage of manpower, these soldiers, like gunners and craftsmen, repaired the city walls while defending the city.
This inspection is also interesting. It not only checks the portable transmission, but also requires stepping over the brazier at the city gate, and sometimes lighting mugwort to smoke it.
As for the carriage, it needs to be carefully burned with a torch.
Shen Bing asked curiously: "Why is this?"
Ren answered:
"The engineers didn't know that there was an epidemic in Taiyuan County. This move is to prevent the epidemic from entering the city."
Shen Bing said "Oh", and when he reacted, he stared at Ren nervously:
"What did you say? Epidemic?"
Ren answered:
"Engineers don't need to be nervous."
"Only a few villages outside Taiyuan have experienced epidemics."
"Taiyuan soldiers have blocked it, so we hope it won't reach Handan."
Shen Bing said "Oh" again, feeling a little surprised. All the people in Qin knew how to prevent the epidemic.
In fact, this is a rare and strange thing for Shen Bing.
In ancient times, due to low productivity and long years of war, it was common for people to die from starvation, disease, or war, and corpses to be piled up indiscriminately. As a result, plagues also occurred from time to time.
As the saying goes, "A long-term illness makes a good doctor." After a few visits, people will know some preventive methods.
For example, isolation, or smoke and fire...
Of course, they don’t know what the virus is, let alone how it is transmitted.
They simply attribute it to evil spirits and think that isolation, smoke and fire can remove evil spirits.
This custom has been passed down to this day. In some places in modern times, people still have to step over a brazier before entering a house.
At this time, a group of people came from a distance.
This group of people is unusual at first glance, because they are all strong men and have excellent riding skills.
Shen Bing has been practicing equestrian skills every day during this period, so he can understand a little bit. They look very natural and not nervous at all when riding on the horse. This shows that the rider has controlled the horse freely.
In particular, although this group of people were dressed in casual clothes, they all had bronze swords at their waists.
Although people with some wealth in this era would wear bronze swords for self-defense, such neat ones were rare.
As the group of people got closer and closer, Shen Bing discovered that the group of people was guarding a carriage in the middle.
Ren became a little nervous when he saw the battle, and quickly waved a small flag towards the tower.
Yan and others immediately stopped what they were doing and picked up their crossbows one after another and got ready at the top of the city.
Ren led two soldiers to block the city gate. After the motorcade stopped, he asked loudly:
"Who is coming? Tell me your name!"
A big man at the head just raised his fist towards Ren and said:
"We are envoys from the State of Yan, and we are on our way to Xianyang."
"I passed by here and stayed in the city for one night to replenish some food and grass. This is my ultimatum."
After saying that, a servant sent a few bamboo slips up.
The so-called ultimatum is the customs clearance document for foreign envoys, which is of course different from the customs clearance documents held by the Qin people.
The identity of the envoy will be indicated on the certificate, as well as where and whom he is going to meet. You don’t have to specify anything specific, but you must have the seals and certificates from each pass along the way.
The envoys even had the privilege of bringing weapons into the city.
This is necessary. After all, in these troubled times, there are bandits everywhere. If the envoys do not have the people and equipment to defend themselves, they will not be able to leave Xianyang, and they may not even be able to leave their own country.
Ren did not dare to neglect, so he quickly sent someone to ask the censor to come down and verify the seal.
After checking that everything was correct, Ren immediately waved the flag to let the tower off guard. The censor returned the ultimatum and saluted and let him go.
Shen Bing only thought this procedure was quite interesting and didn't take it too seriously.
However, after this group of people entered the city, they heard Ren let out a "chi" sound:
"Don't look at their majestic and arrogant appearance."
"Aren't you afraid that we should go to the king to ask for peace?"
When Shen Bing heard this, why did this sound so familiar?
The envoy from Yan State went to Xianyang to seek peace?
Then I was shocked and asked Ren quickly:
"Do you know the name of this messenger?"
Ren shook his head:
"My subordinates didn't take a closer look, but the censor must have known about it."
Then Ren called out to the censor who was about to leave.
The censor replied:
"There are two messengers, one is named Jing Ke, and the other is named Nie Gai."
"Does the engineer know these two people?"
Shen Bing's head was "coaxed" into chaos.
What's going on?
Jing Ke assassinated Qin?
Aren’t there still a few years left?
However, Shen Bing looked back and thought:
If I advance the time to destroy Zhao.
He also made waterwheels, overturned cars, etc., which greatly shortened the four years that Qin had to prepare for Zhao.
So why do other countries still follow the rules and develop step by step according to historical time?
When the time comes to assassinate Qin after a few years, I am afraid that Yan will be destroyed several times!
When he thought about it, Shen Bing understood.
But to assassinate Qin, just assassinate Qin, let him go, it will not succeed anyway.
But Shen Bing soon felt something was wrong. Wasn't Jing Ke's assistant Qin Wuyang?
Shen Bing vaguely remembered such a joke:
Jing Ke had been waiting for someone before he left, but Prince Dan was impatient and couldn't wait any longer, so he sent Qin Wuyang as his assistant.
But it was Qin Wuyang's cowardice at the critical moment that made Ying Zheng suspicious, and he escaped.
nowadays……
Qin Wuyang didn't come, does that mean Jing Ke waited for his assistant?
What the hell!
What if Jing Ke succeeded in assassinating Ying Zheng?
Shen Bing didn't know what would happen, because history never played out like this.
But Shen Bing was certain that if Ying Zheng fell, Qin's political situation would definitely be in chaos for a while.
At this time, Prince Fusu should be only a teenager now, and he has no experience in governing the country. The four countries will definitely take this opportunity to make things difficult for Qin.
Although the general situation will not change, right now... Wang Jian's army of more than 100,000 people is at the forefront.
In the land of three counties, there are Xiongnu in the north, Yanqi in the east, and Wei in the south.
Although the Qin Dynasty is connected to the west, as long as the Wei State sends its troops northward and conquers only a few dozen miles, Wang Jian's army can be surrounded here.
In addition, the remnants of the new destruction of Zhao State still exist and the people's hearts are not yet stable...
I'm going. The more Shen Bing thought about it, the more he became afraid.
No, we cannot let Jing Ke go to Xianyang.
Since you entered Handan City by accident, don't even think about leaving.
