At this time, without assistance, Tian Heng may lose his throne.
Tian Heng looked at the other countries. Other countries were at war, and no one had the time to rescue him. Only in China, along the eastern coast of Qi State, Jiang Chan's power has grown.
"If I ask Jiang Chan for help, she may come back. If I don't ask her for help, my country will be in jeopardy..." Tian Heng hesitated again and again, but decided to ask Jiang Chan for help.
…
"Tian Heng asked me for help. Do you want to send troops?" Jiang Chan asked Zhang Beichen.
Zhang Beichen said: "Of course we must send troops, this is our opportunity. But it is not a rescue, but an attack!"
"Take advantage of this trip to attack Tian Heng directly! Even if the Yue Kingdom invades part of its territory, we can fight back later!"
"Okay! Then send out troops!" Jiang Chan gave the order.
[You order Zhang Beichen to lead an army of 50,000 to attack by land. You lead an army of 20,000 to attack the capital of Qi along the Zihe River. 】
At this time, Jiang Chanke dispatched not many troops, but Tian Heng's defenders were not many either. Most of his troops were on guard against Tian E and Yue.
[Tian Heng's rear is empty. Your army is marching smoothly. In just a few months, all the troops are under attack. 】
Zhang Beichen and Jiang Chan merged and surrounded Linzi City layer by layer.
Artillery bombarded Qi's city walls, making Tian Heng restless.
"If I had known, I would have killed her. Even if I had to bear the infamy, it would be better than buying the trouble!" He already regretted not getting rid of Jiang Chan at this time.
"The only plan now is to ask for peace from Tian E. No matter how much the Qi Kingdom fights, it belongs to our Tian family and cannot be taken back by the Jiang family!" Tian Heng has already sent a messenger to ask for peace from Tian E. As long as the defenders defending Tian E are withdrawn, He has enough power to repel Jiang Chan.
At this moment, the sound of killing came from outside the palace.
The confidant hurriedly came to deliver a message: "Your Majesty, the doctors have led people to surround the palace!"
Tian Heng said in shock and anger: "Are they going to rebel?"
"They have rebelled!"
Before Tian Heng ascended the throne, he tried his best to win over the courtiers and nobles, and did not hesitate in money and land.
But after he became queen, he began to suppress these nobles and placed all important positions in the Uedian clan. His hundreds of children came in handy at this time.
Therefore, the nobles in the country were dissatisfied with him, and with Jiang Chan's win over, these people naturally began to take the opportunity to cause trouble.
[The nobles surrounded the palace, captured Tian Heng alive, opened the city gate, and welcomed Jiang Chan. 】
Jiang Chan entered the Qi Palace, looked at Tian Heng who was tied up, and asked: "Tian Heng, did you expect this day?"
Tian Heng looked up to the sky and sighed, saying: "My Tian family has been planning to usurp the country for hundreds of years, but all the efforts have failed! If it weren't for the short-sightedness of the evil field rat, how could we be here today?"
The Tian family has worked hard for several generations to win the Qi Kingdom.
At first, the ancestors of the Tian family fled to Qi State, were put into important use by the King of Qi, and began to climb up the ranks step by step.
In terms of military power and government affairs, the Tian family gradually eroded political power. It wasn't until Jiang Chan's father became dissolute and completely lost power that the Tian family truly took control of Qi.
This took more than a hundred years, but it only took a few years for Tian Heng to sit on the throne and be overthrown!
"Send the order, kill Tian Heng and kill the nine clans!" Jiang Chan didn't show any mercy and directly killed all the Tian family members.
This is not revenge, but also to divide the Tian family's wealth and secure the throne.
[You re-proclaim yourself king and send troops to resist the invasion of Yue. 】
[Zhang Beichen led his army to fight against the Vietnamese army and successfully repelled the Vietnamese army. 】
In Qi State, the only remaining threat is Tian E.
After Tian Heng's death, Tian E no longer wanted to compete with Jiang Chan for the Qi State. At this time, he wanted to completely separate from the Qi State and establish his own country, but how could Jiang Chan allow it?
[After two years of rest, you appointed Zhang Beichen as general and led an army of 150,000 to attack Tian E. 】
Although Tian E was a general, the territory he occupied was not a wealthy one.
Zhang Beichen's military strength was stronger than his. After half a year of fighting, Tian E was finally defeated and beheaded by Zhang Beichen.
[The entire territory of Qi is under your rule again! 】
"It only took six years! It was twice as fast as the previous game!" Jiang Chan was more confident this time. This game has developed so quickly, and the hope of unifying the world is even greater.
Although it lags behind other countries by a few years, Qi's territory and national power are stronger than Qin, Yan and South Korea!
Relying on this abundant capital, Qi can still develop rapidly.
[After the reunification, you appointed Zhang Beichen as prime minister, implemented reforms in Qi State, reformed the administration of officials, and Qi State's national power grew rapidly. 】
According to local conditions, Zhang Beichen directly used his previous experience to vigorously develop maritime trade in Qi State.
Jiang Chan almost handed over all the power to him.
He directly built several ports in Qi State, and at the same time built the country's largest shipyard in Jimo City, manufacturing a large number of merchant ships and warships.
If it weren't for the current shortage of population, Zhang Beichen would even want to directly dig a Grand Canal connecting the whole country!
[Five years later, the situation in Qi has stabilized and the entire country is prosperous. 】
Zhang Beichen opened the information panel to check the development of this round of Tianxia.
King Chu once again chose to go to sea to find immortals and abdicate the throne. This immediately aroused the covetousness of Wei State, and Wei Yao was sending troops to attack Chu State. Due to the strong basic national strength of Chu State, it has not achieved any results yet.
Taking advantage of Wei Yao's failure to pay attention to her in advance, Ying Yin sent troops to cross the Shu Road and attack Bashu.
South Korea is still developing firearms and annexing Zhongshan State.
Zhao Yun built an elite army and annexed small countries such as Song State.
The State of Yan is at war with Donghu, and according to intelligence, Donghu should be pacified soon.
To put it simply, the war has not yet reached Qi State for a while, and there is still a certain amount of time for it to develop.
"What target are you looking for?" Zhang Beichen searched on the map.
During the internal war in Qi State, small countries such as Lu State had already been annexed by the opportunity.
Now, next to Qi State, there is also Yue State, which has a large amount of territory and military strength that can be attacked!
The State of Chu did not attack the State of Yue, but the State of Yue was still there!
"If the Yue State can be annexed, the coastline of the Qi State will be doubled! Except for the waters of the Yan State, the other sea areas will be completely controlled by the Qi State!" Zhang Beichen locked the Yue State.
He recalled the information about Yue in the previous simulation.
In many simulations, his contact with the Yue Kingdom was limited. Because in most cases, the State of Yue was forcibly destroyed by the State of Chu.
The only time the Yue Kingdom became strong was when Taoist Tianxing appeared in the Yue Kingdom and created an invulnerable armored force, allowing the Yue Kingdom to rise.
"The king of Yue at that time, I remember was Lu Mi."
Zhang Beichen opened the information and saw that Lu Mi was not the king of Yue in this game.
The king of Yue at this time was his elder brother, Lu Ze.
"In other words, Lu Mi in the previous simulation killed his brother and won the throne." Zhang Beichen thought to himself.
Intelligence also showed that Lu Ze was frail and sick and did not have strong control over the political power. His three sons were all assassinated in succession!
Everyone in Yue suspected that the murderer was Lu Mi.
"It doesn't matter whether Lu Mi is the murderer or not. What's important is that he really wants to fight for the throne." Zhang Beichen thought, "Their relationship is more distant than that of the Tian brothers. They don't need me to sow discord. They are already fighting to the death." No wonder the country of Yue has never developed."
Zhang Beichen investigated carefully and found that the two brothers were not the only ones fighting in the country of Yue.
On the surface, Yue is a unified country, but in fact it is an alliance of nobles!
The King of Yue did not have a big say. If he wanted to send troops, he needed to discuss with the nobles and everyone would send troops together.
And the generals of the army are also sons of nobles!
This led to the fact that in the Yue Kingdom, some nobles were no less powerful than the King of Yue!
The two most important forces among them are the aristocrats of the Yue Kingdom and the old aristocrats of the Wu Kingdom!
Hundreds of years ago, the State of Yue annexed the State of Wu, but the old aristocracy of the State of Wu still existed, and they still had considerable power.
These two forces fought openly and covertly, and the King of Yue could not reconcile them.
"If the Qi State directly attacks the Yue State at this time, the nobles within the Yue State will unite and attack the outside world! In this way, the gains outweigh the losses!" Zhang Beichen thought, "It is better to take advantage of the internal chaos of the Yue State, let them kill each other, and then sit down Harvest the fisherman's profit!"
Zhang Beichen decided to find a way to break into the Yue Kingdom first.
[You send an envoy to the Kingdom of Yue to meet with the King of Yue and request to lease a piece of land on the coast of the Kingdom of Yue to park merchant ships. 】
[The King of Yue was very hesitant. The envoy promised a huge profit, and the King of Yue agreed to your request. 】
As a result, Zhang Beichen obtained a piece of coastal land in the Yue Kingdom.
It was said to be used to berth merchant ships, but Zhang Beichen directly took people to build the port!
If the king of Yue knew about this behavior, he would definitely stop it.
Therefore, Zhang Beichen offered heavy gifts to the local nobles, and the local nobles helped Zhang Beichen cover up the matter.
The King of Yue also had no energy to pay attention to this matter because his children had been assassinated all the time due to internal fighting in the palace.
[As soon as you build the port, you will visit the local Wuyue nobles in the Yue Kingdom and do business with them. After the nobles made profits, they expressed their friendship to you one after another. Your business grew rapidly and the port became more prosperous. 】
Zhang Beichen used his status as a Yue person to purchase a lot of land around the leased land, which became his actual control area.
At this time, he went to the capital of Yue State to visit Lu Mi and prepare to cause trouble.
…
At Lu Mi's house, Zhang Beichen saw him "again".
"Your Majesty is here to visit. It's a shame to welcome him from afar! It's a shame to be disrespectful!" Lu Mi greeted warmly.
After the two exchanged some false greetings, Zhang Beichen suddenly sighed.
Lu Mi asked: "What's difficult for Brother Zhang? But it doesn't matter!"
Zhang Beichen said: "We leased a piece of land in Vietnam for merchant ships to berth. However, thieves have been rampant recently and have targeted us. Merchant ships are often robbed, and more and more merchants are afraid to come to Vietnam."
"I hoped to send some sergeants to protect the merchant ships, but I couldn't get permission from the King of Yue, so I sighed."
"Is there such a thing?" Lu Mi pretended to be angry and said, "Business between the two countries is a mutually beneficial thing, but my brother Wang is too unkind!"
"If it were me, I would definitely agree to this."
Zhang Beichen shook his head and said: "It's a pity that you are not the King of Yue... It's a sin, it's a sin, I shouldn't have said this."
Lu Mi laughed and said, "It doesn't matter, I don't pay so much attention here."
He tentatively said: "If I become the king of Yue, such trivial matters can be easily solved."
Zhang Beichen said: "If this is really the case, I am willing to help Brother Lu Mi!"
"Brother Zhang, are you serious about this?" Lu Mi said in surprise.
"Of course!" Zhang Beichen said, "As long as Brother Lu Mi keeps his word, I can provide you with money and food to recruit troops!"
"Okay!" Lu Mi agreed and raised his glass: "Then it's a deal!"
"A gentleman's words are hard to chase!" Zhang Beichen promised.
As expected, he provided Lu Mi with money and food to strengthen his desire for a coup.
However, Zhang Beichen had no intention of letting Lu Mi ascend the throne. If Lu Mi was allowed to ascend the throne smoothly, the country of Yue would only be in civil strife for a short time and would not damage its roots.
Therefore, Zhang Beichen secretly found Zhu Jian, the current prince of Yue Kingdom.
"Why did Prime Minister Qi come to me?" Zhu Jian was very wary of Zhang Beichen because he learned that Zhang Beichen had visited his uncle Wang, Lu Mi.
When Zhang Beichen saw him, he said directly: "Prince, you are in for a big disaster. I came here to warn you!"
"Really?" Zhu Jian asked, "What advice does Prime Minister Qi have?"
Zhang Beichen said: "I went to visit Lu Mi and asked him to be a lobbyist to persuade the King of Yue to allow Qi State to send some sergeants to protect our caravan."
"He refused?" Zhu Jian asked.
"No, he agreed." Zhang Beichen said.
"Then why does Prime Minister Qi still come to me?" Zhu Jian was puzzled.
Zhang Beichen said: "Lu Mi is so greedy that he actually took the opportunity to ask me for a large amount of money and food. Prince, if Lu Mi gets this money and food, what will he do?"
Zhu Jian's face changed slightly as he thought about it. Lu Mi has always been restless, and his father, the current King of Yue, is sick. If he passes away one day, it is not impossible for Lu Mi to rebel and seize power.
But considering that Zhang Beichen was the Prime Minister of Qi, Zhu Jian still pretended to be calm and said: "Everyone loves money, so this doesn't mean anything."
Zhang Beichen saw that he hadn't caught the trap yet, so he pretended to be sorry and said: "Hey, Prince, you are in trouble but you don't know it. I heard that the three children of the King of Yue were all assassinated. Not long ago, Lu Mi asked The King of Yue tried to persuade him to establish a new crown prince, but the King of Yue refused. Maybe you will be next!"
At this point, Zhu Jian finally panicked.
This is something he has always been worried about. His three brothers died unexpectedly in succession, and he has also been worried about this matter.
Now that he learned that Lu Mi was already recruiting troops, he was even more panicked.
So, he no longer pretended to be reserved and asked Zhang Beichen: "I've taken the liberty of you. Please save me, sir! If you, sir, can help me, I won't pay any cents for the Qi State to send sergeants to protect the merchant ships!"
Zhang Beichen secretly laughed in his heart. Sure enough, when doing business, you still have to shop around, but now you don't have to pay anything.
He said: "Prince, Lu Mi has been rebelling for a long time. And your father is still seriously ill. If this continues, you will definitely be in danger!"
"Instead of worrying and being frightened, it is better to take the initiative! Kill Lu Mi and persuade your father to abdicate the throne! Who will dare to threaten the prince when he is firmly on the throne?"
Zhang Beichen's words moved Zhu Jian's heart, but he was still a little afraid: "In case of failure..."
