Shen Kuang: "..."
The corners of Shen Kuang's mouth twitched.
Good guy,
You called me all the way here because you were thinking about the King of the Daughter Kingdom, right?
Although he was complaining a lot in his heart, Shen Kuang didn't dare to show it at all.
I could only analyze it for Han Lin based on the current situation in Qi State and the intelligence obtained through inquiring.
The main problem is,
Now there are too many projects in Qi State, and each one requires hundreds of thousands of civilians to be mobilized.
In one country, it will take time to digest the land that has just been invaded from Zhao State.
Moreover, the journey to the Western Region is far away, not to mention passing through deserts in the middle, and there is even the possibility of being attacked by the Huns from the north.
The most critical thing is that the location of the Daughter's Kingdom is even more remote.
If we take action directly, it will be tantamount to starting a war with the thirty-six countries in the Western Region at the same time.
It would be okay if Qi State didn't have the burden of those projects, but after all, the logistics pressure is now very high, and a lot was lost in the decisive battle with Zhao State.
At this stage,
It’s really hard to send troops directly.
After listening,
Han Lin pondered for a while.
Han Lin is not someone who doesn't listen to advice, especially for his own people summoned by these systems.
"Okay, since you don't suggest it, just wait."
"I'm not in a hurry."
"But the Chu State in the south is really an eyesore to me. When you go back, tell Guan Zhong about this and see what he says."
"Okay, please step back."
After leaving the main hall,
The corners of Shen Kuang's mouth twitched again.
I heard that attacking the Western Region is too difficult, so now I have changed my target to Chu State, right?
Why is it so annoying to look at Chu State?
Don't you just covet the Empress of Chu?
They are all men, and no one knows who they are.
Of course,
I definitely wouldn’t dare to say this.
Shen Kuang only dared to complain in his heart, and what Han Lin ordered must be completed seriously.
That afternoon,
Shen Kuang didn't stay in Handan for more than a few hours before he rushed back to Linzi.
He conveyed Han Lin's thoughts about Chu to Guan Zhong.
The answer Guan Zhong gave was similar to that of facing the Western Regions: we have to wait.
Take it slow.
Qi's current actions are too big.
There is no way to start a large-scale war.
Although the Chu State had just suffered a defeat, a skinny camel was still bigger than a horse after all.
The heritage of Chu State is still there.
It is not easy to annex Chu State.
.......
After getting Guan Zhong's reply,
Han Lin did not insist.
I continued to live my own 'boring' and 'boring' life.
Every day I was either discussing the walking posture of the Handan people with the palace maids, or studying the mysteries of human life.
How did humans originate?
only,
Such a topic is too profound.
So Han Lin could only teach them step by step.
Sometimes, the class time in one place is too long and the class has to be continued in another place.
for a time,
This Handan city is covered with Han Lin’s footprints.
The happy little days passed day by day,
During this time,
The system will also give out some rewards from time to time.
for example:
【Ding! 】
[Congratulations to the host, who acted like a king and "ignored the government affairs" and received a reward: a pair of sunglasses! 】
[Sunglasses]: Used for sun protection, and can also be concave in shape.
...
【Ding! 】
[Congratulations to the host, who committed the foolish act of "wine pond and meat forest" and received the reward: ten boxes of mosquito repellent incense! 】
【Mosquito Repellent】: It can prevent mosquito infestation in summer.
...
【Ding! 】
[Congratulations to the host, who has committed a dissolute act and received a reward: a historical figure summoning card from Qi State! 】
[Qi State Historical Figure Summoning Card]: After use, you can summon a famous minister or general from Qi State during the Spring and Autumn Period-Warring States Period.
...
For rewards like the system,
Han Lin could only say that he was unable to complain.
Give yourself a pair of sunglasses with a hammer?
Mosquito coils are of some use, but not much.
After all, as the king of a country, how could he still be bitten by mosquitoes?
Not that
Mosquitoes don't bite themselves.
But in the palace, if mosquitoes appear, it is also the problem of the eunuchs and maids.
Moreover,
He is now invulnerable.
Is it possible to prevent a mere mosquito from breaking through?
The only thing that interested Han Lin was the summoning card.
Removed from system space,
The card is about the same size as a bank card.
There are some historical figures painted on the front and back.
"use!"
Han Lin's heart moved and he silently recited the sentence "Use".
The next second,
The card turned into a white light and disappeared into the air.
Then a prompt sound came from the system,
【Ding! 】
[The host used the historical figure summoning card. Congratulations to the host for getting Yan Ying, the Prime Minister of Qi. 】
Immediately afterwards,
A bright white light flashed in front of Han Lin's eyes.
Then a short figure with ordinary appearance and exceptionally simple clothes appeared in the field of vision.
"The humble minister Yan Ying has met Your Majesty."
"Yan Ying?"
"Yanzi?"
Another very familiar name.
and......
Han Lin remembered that when he was in junior high school, he seemed to have learned a text about Yan Ying.
Yan Zi sent Chu?
I just started thinking about Chu State, and the system rewarded me with Yan Ying. I seriously doubt that you did it on purpose, and I have evidence.
【Ding! 】
[Please host, please stop talking nonsense. This is in the name of damaging the system. The system has the right to sue the host. 】
Too lazy to deal with the system,
Han Lin looked at Yan Ying in front of him and laughed: "It's really unexpected. The people I met in the text before can actually meet them in real life now."
"Sir, please get up quickly. We are all family members. No need for big gifts when we meet in the future."
Yan Ying shook his head and said: "Rites are used to control the people. This is the courtesy of the emperor and his ministers. It is indispensable."
Han Lin was speechless.
Good guy, just call him good guy.
Do you think this is still the Spring and Autumn Period? What etiquette are you talking about here?
The rituals and music have collapsed, and the princes of all countries in the world have merged. Who cares about you?
Han Lin waved his hand impatiently and said: "Okay, I don't want to talk to you about this now. I have an errand now, which is quite suitable for you to do."
Yan Ying asked, "What's the matter?"
"You see, you also have experience in going to Chu State. Now I want to kidnap the Empress of Chu State, but Guan Zhong said it is not time to send troops. See if you can use your sharp tongue to kidnap the Empress. I’ll get it.”
This time it was Yan Ying's turn to be speechless.
Do you really think my tongue is omnipotent?
The emperor is doing well, why should I correct him?
After taking a breath,
Yan Ying responded: "If Your Majesty really wants to bring the Empress of Chu, I have two options."
"explain!"
Yan Ying continued: "The first way is to unite with the Qin State and jointly attack the Chu State. The Chu State just experienced a disastrous defeat in Pingyu, and its main force was devastated, and it was even forced to move its capital to Shouchun."
"If Your Majesty relies on the Qi State alone, you may be able to defeat the Chu State, but you will also pay a high price, and you may not be able to get what you want."
"In this case, it is completely possible to unite with the Qin State and jointly attack the Chu State. The Chu State is now sandwiched between Qin and Qi, and looking around the Chu State, there is no country capable of rescue. The Wei State has good relations with Qi, so it will definitely not take action. , the king of Song State is timid and incompetent, and will not send troops to intervene, and other small countries have no ability to intervene."
Han Lin nodded slightly.
Moved,
The Soviet-German non-aggression pact?
Why would two countries that are not adjacent to each other sign a non-aggression treaty?
Because there is no wave in my heart.
Yan Ying's first method was to make the Chu Kingdom a turmoil in his heart.
He coughed lightly,
Yan Ying continued: "The second method..."
