Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    A black palace stands in the center of Shule City. Its height is even higher than the city wall in the distance. Its architectural style is completely different from other houses in the city. It is unique in its own style, but it looks down on the entire Shule City like a flock of chickens.  .  ¨R,

    Wang Jian stood at the highest point of the palace, looking down at the city below him. All of this now belonged to him.  Not only Shule, but also places with thousands of miles around Shule as the center are now under his control. A few years ago, he was forced into the desert by the Han army. Tens of thousands of troops struggled all the way in the desert, and finally  Only more than ten thousand people set foot on this land. What greeted them was not flowers and fine wine, but attacks from countless coalition forces of foreign races. After bloody battles, these Qin troops who struggled to survive from the desert fought with their blood.  Their sacrifice and sacrifice established their status as kings on this land, and the city-states that lined this land had to recognize their existence, but it was only the poorest area on the edge of the desert.

    A year of respite allowed Wang Jian to regain his strength. Using this year, he vigorously purged other races in the area and brought them under his rule. A powerful army appeared.  , and in another year, he marched on a large scale, defeated other surrounding city-states, and gradually expanded his rule to the current area.

    There were only five to six thousand Qin troops left who had followed him across the desert, but now they are Wang Jian's powerful arm to control this area.

    The more backward form of slavery was originally practiced in this area. In the Qin State, slaves were nothing new. Many of those who committed crimes would be demoted as slaves, but like here, except for the nobles.  Even the slave situation surprised Wang Jian, but he had no intention of changing this situation. For him, this situation was more conducive to his rule.

    Those farmers, craftsmen, and armies composed of slaves are too tame. They just need to kill their masters and claim rights to them.  These slaves will bow down at your feet. If you treat them a little better, they will be grateful to you.

    The remaining five thousand Qin troops are now slave owners in this vast area. Even those injured and mutilated soldiers will own a piece of land and have varying numbers of slaves. They are Wang Jian who controls this area.  The most effective tool for covering areas.

    The current king scissors.  Able to gather tens of thousands of fully armed soldiers in a very short period of time.  In addition to the 30,000 standing troops under their control, the new slave owners were able to prepare their own weapons in time of war.  War horses, leading their slave soldiers, appeared under their command.

    For this area, Wang Jian is their heaven.  The previous rulers all became dead under his steel sword.  The remaining ones also fled far away, and seemed to no longer pose a threat to Wang Jian. However, Wang Jian did not feel relaxed at all, because he knew very well that there was a sharper knife behind him.  His safety is threatened at all times.

    This knife is the Han Kingdom on the other side of the desert.

    If he can cross the desert, they can naturally do the same. Compared with his desperate situation at that time, if the Han Kingdom wants to come, he must make all preparations. Wang Jian, who has fought with the Han Kingdom for many years, is very aware of the powerful mobilization ability of the Han Kingdom.  , unparalleled logistical supply capabilities, it seems that the only thing he can rely on is this vast desert, but will the desert really become an obstacle to the other party?

    Driven by this mentality, Wang Jian deployed all his most important generals and most powerful forces on the edge of the desert. He had 30,000 standing troops under his command, and 20,000 Niya and Yi gathered on the border.  The purpose of Ning and Ning is to resist the Han army that may rush over from there at any time.

    Another year has passed, and his control over this area has been very stable. The arrival of the Qin people brought advanced farming technology. Most of the Qin troops under his command were farmers before joining the army. Now  , they became slave owners and owned a large area of ??fertile land. They would naturally focus on this land. Advanced farming technology and hard-working slaves created a lot of wealth.

    But trouble finally came this year. To Wang Jian's surprise, the trouble came not from the Han Kingdom in the south, but from the north. Groups of locust-like people dressed in black, riding war horses or camels,  The enemies wielding machetes rushed towards their own territory. There were not many in the beginning and they were wiped out easily. However, after these people were eliminated, it was like poking a hornet's nest. More such enemies began to gather from the north.  , launched an attack on their own territory.

    Three months ago, he assembled 20,000 troops and fought against them in Kangju City. Although he won the battle, the brutality of the war still frightened him. These black knights were like crazy demons.??, wave after wave rushed towards their own battlefield, even if their corpses were piled up into a wall of corpses in front of their own arrow array, these people threw their lives into their own array, and then there was a tragic  After the first battle, all the tens of thousands of invading men in black were wiped out outside Kangju City, but their own losses also reached tens of thousands.

    Although he won the final victory, this battle also damaged Wang Jian's vitality, and what worried him even more was the background of these enemies.

    From the captured prisoners, he learned that these black knights came from a country called Dashi, and their supreme leader was called the Caliph, and they were just a group of expelled people who failed to compete for the top leader in the Dashi country.  They had no choice but to come all the way south and unexpectedly discovered this fertile territory. Originally, they wanted to occupy this land as their new territory, but they didn't want Wang Jian to come one step ahead of them.  .

    Wang Jian was a little shocked by the information he received. When he was in Da Qin before, he had never thought that the world was so big and that so many forces existed beyond their imagination.  This group of black knights that troubled him were nothing more than a group of bereaved dogs, which already made it difficult for him to deal with them. If the victors in the mouths of those captives, that caliphate, came with a large army, how could he resist?

    As an equally ambitious general, Wang Jian naturally knows that a wider territory is the endless pursuit of every superior, and no king will be satisfied with the current results.  If they didn't know about their territory before, then the men in black who fled back would definitely bring back this information, and perhaps more knights in black would follow soon.

    The craziness of these people's fighting made Wang Jian, who had experienced many battles, feel a little trembling. Even if there was only one person left, this person would wave his machete crazily, howl loudly in a language they did not understand, and attack them.  A desperate attack.

    This is a bunch of lunatics.

    In the days that followed, Wang Jian sent countless spies to the north. The news they brought back made Wang Jian even more frightened. It was a country that combined politics and religion. Its power was not inferior to that of Great Qin in its heyday, but for politics and religion  Wang Shen is no stranger to unity. When Li Ru was in power, the Qin State strictly prohibited religion from interfering with the royal power. Anyone who has such a person has become a ghost under the sword. Religion can make people less human.  This is Wang Jian's understanding.

    With your current abilities, it is absolutely impossible to withstand this massive attack. If you want to keep your current achievements, the only possibility is to seek foreign aid.

    But I have no foreign aid to look for.

    It was at this time that Lu Chao's envoy finally found him. From the envoy's mouth, Wang Jian learned about the current general trend of the Central Plains. What made him heartbroken was that the Kingdom of Han was becoming more and more powerful, and his homeland of Qin was  , but it is getting weaker and weaker, and is about to fall to the brink of civil war.

    The envoy did not hide what Lu Chao was thinking now and what Lu Chao wanted to do.

    Although three years is not a long time, to Wang Jian, it seems to be a century. It is so long that he almost forgets what his motherland looks like. In the past three years, what he has to do every year is how to make himself in this land.  On the land, we are struggling to survive and live better, and the memories of the past have long been blurred.

    Return to Qin?  This thought has long been gone. If I can hold on to this territory, I will live a better life here. What else can Da Qin give me?  Or, what did they give themselves?

    However, the arrival of this messenger allowed Wang Jian to grasp a life-saving straw at some point. If Lu Chao succeeds, if in his hands, a powerful Qin country can be revived, then, or  He can become a powerful foreign aid for himself, and when the time comes, he can use their strength to maintain his current territory.

    He did not reject the special envoy. Instead, he gave him a warm reception and full promises. But until now, he has not made up his mind on what to do.  If the time comes to support Lu Chao, even if it is just to contain the Han army, it will provoke the giant Han. Is it really worth it?

    The powerful neighbor to the north has just won the highest position in the country. It will take two or three years to sort out the internal affairs and fully grasp the power. And I only have two or three years of breathing time.  But with my current strength, no matter how carefully prepared I am, I can't withstand the surging black cavalry.

    Wang Jian sighed, stood up, and closed the window.

    Rapid footsteps sounded in the empty hall behind him.

    "General, General Niyahuang sent a message on Pegasus. They captured the envoy from the Han Kingdom." A guard came hurriedly and reported loudly.

    Wang Jian turned around suddenly.  ?Han Kingdom, Gao Yuan, you finally know my existence, are you finally here?  (To be continued)
