Half a month later.
Ren Xiao rushed to Xincheng.
"The general has met the young master!" Ren Xiao walked into the shogunate and said to Zhao Shu: "The general has completed the occupation. At the same time, he has united the tribes from all over the country to build a city called Moon City!"
"Roughly, there are 300,000 people in the city!"
"The general transferred some people from the army to form an official office!"
"The resistance encountered by the general along the way was not strong. Our soldiers suffered 3,000 casualties!"
Hearing this, Zhao Shu smiled and nodded: "The general's handling is very good!"
"This general will head north soon!"
"As the governor of Nanzhou, Li Xin needs to sit in Nanzhou and complete the defense of Nanzhou. It is your responsibility!"
"Once we capture the entire territory of Nanzhou, we will make a deal with Li Xin, and then lead the Qin warriors north to Xianyang!"
After taking a sip of tea, Ren Xiao raised his head and said, "Master, are you planning to go north to Linzi to complete the final battle?"
"Um!"
Zhao Shu nodded, and he did not hide anything from Ren Xiao: "The king hopes to unify the world before the end of the year, and we have delayed it long enough!"
"The longer we delay, the more prepared Qi will be!"
"When the time comes, our Great Qin warriors will only suffer heavy casualties!"
Although historically, Qi surrendered without a fight, Zhao Shu knew that his appearance had completely changed the history of Qin.
This gives Qi Guo more time to react. By then, any changes are possible.
"promise!"
Nodding in agreement, Ren Xiao saluted Zhao Shu and said: "Please rest assured, Sir, the general will definitely complete the finishing work and then lead the army to Xianyang!"
Zhao Shu naturally believed in Ren Xiao.
There is no doubt about his ability!
As for the issue of loyalty, he is not worried.
In Nanzhou, with Li Xin still there, he can naturally suppress Ren Xiao.
Moreover, it is impossible for Ren Xiao to stay in Nanzhou for a long time and lose the basis of separatist rule.
Besides, at this time, both Qin Wangzheng and him were still alive.
In this era, if you want to be independent, you are simply courting death!
"In that case, you will lead an army of 50,000 to the south!" Zhao Shu glanced at Ren Xiao and said calmly, "I am waiting for Li Xin here!"
"promise!"
Watching Ren Xiao leave, Zhao Shu couldn't help but smile.
"Sir, why are you suddenly preparing to go north?"
Yan Mo was a little puzzled!
Zhao Shu's purpose has always been clear, which is to completely occupy Nanzhou.
However, in the recent period, Zhao Shu's attitude has changed significantly.
Hearing this, Zhao Shu glanced at Yan Mo, took a sip of herbal tea, and said: "Didn't the changes in the Central Plains not happen when you were in charge of the Hidden Palace?"
"Basically there hasn't been much change in the Central Plains!"
Yan Mo answered first, then turned to Zhao Shu and said, "However, some changes have indeed occurred in Qi, and the Qi court is actively preparing for war!"
"Um!"
Nodding slightly, Zhao Shu couldn't help but shake his head. He had to admit that Yan Mo was only average in talent, completely different from a great talent like Fan Zeng.
He was too slow to develop the situation and his sense of smell was not very keen.
It was this situation that forced Zhao Shu to find a more suitable leader for the Hidden Palace.
"The State of Qi is located on the coast. Although it has not experienced any decent wars in recent years and its armaments have been lax, the State of Qi has been at peace for countless years, which has made the State of Qi extremely wealthy!"
"As long as they are willing and have enough time, Qi will become Qin's great enemy after reorganizing its army and becoming stronger!"
"Although they are still unable to fight against our Great Qin, if a war breaks out, our Great Qin warriors will suffer countless casualties!"
"Compared to Nanzhou, which has almost zero combat effectiveness, it is completely possible to leave one general to advance..."
Having said this, Zhao Shu turned to Yan Mo and said, "Although the twelve merchants are the main ones in Nanzhou, the Hidden Palace must also penetrate into it!"
"The Hidden Palace is not my eyes, but the king's eyes!"
"Thank you for your advice, sir, I understand!" Yan Mo nodded, his eyes full of solemnity, and he naturally heard the dissatisfaction in Zhao Shu's words.
Although it is not expressed directly, this is the fact.
What he did was far inferior to Fan Zeng.
Not long after Yan Mo left, Fan Zeng walked into the shogunate and reported to Zhao Shu, "Master, Chen Ping is here!"
"Bring people in!"
"Where is Li Xin now?"
Hearing this, Fan Zeng nodded, then changed the subject and said, "There's probably still one day's journey to go!"
"Um!"
At this time, Chen Ping walked into the shogunate and said to Zhao Shu, "Chen Ping has met the young master!"
At this moment, Chen Ping felt somewhat uneasy.
Although he is confident in himself, he is just a commoner.
As for Gongzi Shu, its reputation is too great in the Central Plains.
It can be said that he is an idol in the minds of countless people.
Therefore, at this moment, Chen Ping felt not only uneasy but also excited.
"No need to be polite, sir, sit down!"
Seeing Chen Ping, Zhao Shu smiled and motioned for him to take a seat.
"promise!"
When Chen Ping sat down and the Army Sima brought tea, Zhao Shu just smiled and said, "When I was in the Central Plains, I heard how talented you are, and I also heard about your meat sharing!"
"Now I am short of people under my command. I wonder if you, sir, would be willing to give in?"
Hearing this, Chen Ping's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect that Zhao Shu actually knew all these things. He couldn't help but raise his hands to Zhao Shu and said, "Thank you for your kindness, sir!"
"A mediocre talent only has a slight reputation in the countryside!"
"Young Master loves me so much that I should die as a result!"
For Chen Ping, such opportunities are hard-won.
After all, he didn't have much background. If he wanted to be recommended as an official, he would only be a county official at most.
However, following Zhao Shu, the future will be completely different.
From the beginning, he has had a strong platform and background, and will naturally soar into the sky in the future.
Of course, Chen Ping is a smart man and naturally knows how embarrassing Zhao Shu's situation is at this moment.
However, he still refused to give up!
In other words, he knew in his heart that he had no right to choose.
"good!"
Nodding, Zhao Shu raised the cup and said, "I would like to have tea instead of wine. Welcome, sir!"
"Master, please!"
At this moment, Chen Ping also raised the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp.
The two of them drank together, and Zhao Shu just took out the tea cup and said, "When I get back to Xianyang, I will take care of my husband!"
"Now, sir, I will serve as a military commander in the shogunate and concurrently as the county magistrate here, waiting for the arrival of the officials sent by the Nanzhou Prefecture!"
"promise!"
Nodding in agreement, Chen Ping was overjoyed.
When he first arrived, Zhao Shu not only made him a military commander of the shogunate, but also served as the county magistrate here. This kind of trust moved Chen Ping.
"Don't worry, sir, my subordinates will do their best to ensure the stability of this place!"
