    Wang Jian looked at the more than ten generals sitting around him. These people were his core team. They used to be his subordinates, but now they can be called his partners. These people are now guarding their own side.  , and together with him, we control this land with a radius of several thousand miles.

    "Kill these people." Jin Yong from Kangju City said harshly. This year, in Kangju, where he was guarding, a bloody battle broke out with the black-clad food cavalry. Kangju suffered heavy losses, and the threat of food was growing day by day.  If the big man comes again with his troops at this time, their good days will come to an end.

    "Kill?" Huang Ming, who was guarding Niya, shook his head with a wry smile: "Brother Jin, they are envoys, and they are holding a letter of credence stamped with the seal of the Han Dynasty. What does this mean? This means that the Han Kingdom is already very clear.  We exist, and we are very aware of our current situation. It is easy to kill these envoys, but I am afraid that we will really form a deadly enemy. That will really provoke strong revenge from the Han people."

    "Huang Ming, are you scared?" Jin Yong said dissatisfied.

    "You are right, I am scared." Huang Ming sighed and turned to look at Wang Jian, "General, our current peaceful days are hard-won. Although now, we have a certain strength, we also have difficulties.  The territory is small, but the strength is still nothing compared to the Han people. Now that we are no longer officers and soldiers of Da Qin, why should we fight against them? Or, if we take a step back, we can have a brighter future. "

    "General Huang is right." Yining guard Zheng Lian nodded and said: "General, Lu Chao's envoy arrived here some time ago, and we have all discussed that Da Qin is over. Even if the country is not destroyed by the Han,  He will also die at the hands of Lu Chao. Lu Chao is nothing compared to us. Da Qin is unable to help us now. Will Lu Chao be able to help us in the future when he becomes powerful? "

    "Can the Han Kingdom help us?" Jin Yong retorted.

    "The Han people or the teachers will not help us, but they have the ability to push us into the abyss." Huang Ming glanced at Jin Yong.  Although this guy is now in charge, his limbs are still as well-developed as before.  Simple-minded and no progress at all.

    When Huang Ming said this, Jin Yong was immediately choked up. The other party was right, the Han people might not help them.  But definitely capable of pushing them into the abyss.  "The desert is blocking us, but they don't necessarily dare to come here?" he muttered.

    Wang Jian squinted his eyes and listened to his generals discussing the shocking news. What made him feel gratified was that basically no one among his generals missed Da Qin too much anymore.  Focusing more on everything he has now is the best thing for him.  He had nothing to miss about Da Qin.  His father died in the war, and his family members were imprisoned. They all died cleanly in the end. Now he only had hatred for Da Qin. Whether Lu Chao succeeded or not made no difference to him.  But Zheng Lian is right when he says that even if Lu Chao succeeds, there may be nothing he can do to help him.

    He took a deep breath.  The palace they live in now is actually completely modeled after the Black Ice Terrace in Xianyang. Even the decoration inside is almost exactly the same. Things like that.  If Qin Ting knew about it, it would be an out-and-out transgression.

    "So, everyone's opinion is almost unanimous. Then I will meet this Han envoy. Huang Ming and Zheng Lian are right. At least we can't let the Han stab us in the back again. We can fight with them  Peaceful coexistence is the best outcome for us. Our current energy must be put on the threat from the north. If we can reach an agreement with the Han people, then our armies can be deployed in Niya and Yining.  Go to the north." Seeing that everyone was almost done talking, Wang Jian made the final decision, "Let's stop talking about the Han people. Let's talk about this man in black now after I meet with the Han envoy.  matter."

    Everyone nodded. Compared with the possible threat from the Han Kingdom, they, who had already fought against the black-clothed food, were more wary of this enemy.

    "Jin Yong, how has the matter of asking you to find out the details of the other party in the past few months been going?" Wang Jian asked.

    When mentioning this matter, Jin Yong's face suddenly became ugly: "General, there is no way to go deep in. I sent a total of ten groups of more than 30 people, put on the clothes of the black cavalry and sneaked in.  , but only one can come back. The news he brought back is that those people in black believe in a certain religion, and the control is extremely tight from top to bottom. If our people go in without understanding the language and customs, they will die. Now I  We suspect that we have not found out the details of others, but others have found out almost all of our details. We can no longer send people there. What we have to do now is to strengthen border defense, build tall and stable cities, and defend the enemy from outside the country.  That¡¯s the best thing to do.¡±

    "We are not hereQin is not the Central Plains. It has no mountains and dangerous passes. What is the use of building a big city?  Won't those black cavalry bypass the city? If they could really rely on the city to defend it, why did I have to fight with the enemy outside Kangju City half a year ago?  Wang Jian smiled bitterly, "When the enemy has trampled our territory into a mess, what use will our remaining isolated cities do?"  Was he starved to death by the enemy in the end?  "

    Everyone was silent. Building the city could only protect the people inside the city. For these former Qin army generals, they were very good at defending the city, but the current situation forced them to engage in field battles with their opponents in order to protect their territory.  , and with their current strength, they are unable to cope with it. A homeless dog who has been expelled from the country forces them to go all out. If the king of that country comes with all his strength, how should they respond?

    This time, they have no place to escape!

    The people in the room all had sad faces.

    When these people were looking sad and helpless, in a stone house not far from them, Niu Ben was lying comfortably on a pile of withered grass, covered with a bed of tattered cotton wool, sleeping.  Get the fragrance.  In his sleep, there was even a smile at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

    In this season, crossing the vast desert, even if they are fully prepared in advance, is not a journey of life and death. Fortunately, there are no dangers along the way. Many animals died, but the people all dressed up intact.  Da Mo arrived at their destination. Rather than saying that they were caught by the opponent guarding Niya, it would be better to say that he took the initiative to send them to their door.

    Niu Ben could never forget the surprised face of Huang Ming, the commander-in-chief of the Han Dynasty, when he handed over his credentials and claimed that he was an envoy from the Han Kingdom. His mouth was wide enough to stuff two duck eggs.

    ??This Huang Ming can be seen at a glance to be a Central Plains person, and the flag flying above the city also shows their identity. Although they are outside the territory, the flag flying above the city is still the military flag of Great Qin.

    We were escorted all the way to Shule, which should be Shule. When Niu ran into the city, I was a little surprised. This is a city that looks very prosperous, and it should be the core of Wang Jian's current regime.  .  He was not killed on the spot, but arrived here. The longer he was imprisoned, the safer he became.

    The other party needs to weigh the pros and cons. Niu Ben believes in Wang Jian's IQ. If he were not a smart man, he would never have been able to control such a large area of ??land in just a few years and become the master of this land.  By.  So Niu Ben slept soundly. For him, this was an excellent opportunity to rest and replenish his strength. The journey was really hard.

    Thunderous snoring came from the next door. It was He Lanjie and some other guards. These people were also very nervous guys. Like himself, they had no worries about the possibility of being killed.  Also, the candidates selected by He Lanxiong were of course the best of the best. They traveled all the way. The bravery of these people had already impressed him.

    The sound of the cell door being opened awoke Niu Ben from his deep sleep. When he opened his eyes, he suddenly found that it was already bright. In the high windows of the cell, there was sunlight shining in from somewhere, and it happened to shine on his head.  Above his head, the sun that had not been seen for many days actually came out for the first time. Niu Ben's mood suddenly improved. He took off the torn cotton wool and stood up straight. He rubbed his eyes and looked at the door of the cell to see where he was standing.  The one he saw was Huang Ming, the guard he had seen in Niya, and he couldn't help but feel more confident. If he wanted to do it, two swordsmen and axe-hands were enough, so why let a general like him come in person.

    "General Niu slept soundly!" Huang Ming stood at the door, seeming to admire, but also seeming to be sarcastic.

    "Of course I slept soundly, General Huang. I suffered a lot along the way. Although we were fully prepared in advance, when the real thing came, we realized that we still underestimated the difficulties involved. It's hard to imagine.  , How did tens of thousands of you cross this desert in the first place?"

    Without opening the pot, Huang Ming's face immediately darkened. It was not forced by you Han people. An army of more than 30,000 people lost more than half of it when they walked out of the desert. I thought.  It¡¯s heartbreaking to think about.

    "Please, General Wang wants to see you." Huang Ming said with a gloomy face.

    Niu Ben raised his eyebrows, walked out, walked to Huang Ming, suddenly stopped, looked at the other person and said seriously: "That sentence just now was not sarcasm, but real admiration. Putting aside our mutual  Regardless of your position, you can come out and stand firm and become the king of this land. As a person who also comes from the Central Plains, I am honored. "

    Huang Ming was startled, and his expression gradually softened.  (To be continued.)
