Chapter 642: King Qin's personal guard

After paying homage to Wei Ran, Peng Zhou left Taoyi and came to the capital of Zhao State.

During these years, the Qin state focused its main efforts on Wei and Korea, encroaching on these two vassal states. On Zhao Guo's side, it is quite stable.

It is impossible to swallow these two countries at once, and can only eat away little by little.

In order not to attract the attention of Wei and Korea, as well as other wise people, the Qin state expanded around Taoyi. On the Qin side, Hangu Pass was used as an expansion point to open the path to the east.

In order not to attract the attention of the wise, the Qin side deliberately did not open a direct channel with Taoyi. Until you can sweep the world and are not afraid of the alliance of princes in the world, you will not open the channel.

In fact! The Qin State and Taoyi have long been connected.

Because! Qin Guo is good with Zhao Guo today, and he can use Zhao Guo to lead to Taoyi. Tomorrow is good with South Korea, and you can also take the road to Taoyi. The day after tomorrow, it is good for Wei Guo, and you can also take the road to Taoyi.

But! I just don't connect directly.

If it is directly connected, the border line of the Qin State will be long.

What about that? You have to have defenders everywhere. Otherwise! It's useless if you connect.

At this time, the pattern of the Great Zhou Dynasty had already changed, and the Qin State was already dominant.

The current Qin State no longer has a border guard. In the current state of Qin, the army is stationed on a military strategic point.

Guarding the border passes no longer makes sense for the Qin army, because! It doesn't work for your army to come. What if you occupy a certain city? Our Qin army will defend this city at any time. And! You can also eat your army.

In fact! It's also cannibalization, eating you and you don't yet know the severity of the consequences.

I wipe out your country's army (actually the population) a little bit a year, so that the population of your country not only does not grow, but also declines year by year. Talking like that? In a dozen years, your population will be getting smaller and smaller. Opposite! With the increase in the land area of our Qin State, the population is growing rapidly.

Because Zhao, Qi, and Yan were all marginal vassal states, while Wei and Korea were vassal states that blocked Qin's way eastward. So! Qin's main focus was on Wei and Korea. Only by eating Wei and Korea can Zhao, Qi, and Chu not be able to quickly unite, then Qin can be singled out.

As for the Yan State in the north, the Qin State did not take it seriously at all.

During these years, Qin's strategic goal was to encroach on Wei and Korea, so! had to have a good relationship with Zhao Guo on the surface.

Of course! It's about making a good relationship on the surface.

The ultimate goal of the Qin State is to dominate the world, so! The reconciliation with Zhao was only temporary, and it was just that Zhao was not allowed to form alliances with other vassal states.

The states of Zhao, Korea and Wei used to be a large vassal state called the Jin State, and were later divided by the ancestors of these three vassal states, which is the so-called "Three Families Divided into Jin".

So! If Qin wanted to encroach on Wei and Korea, it would have to maintain a superficially peaceful relationship with Zhao. That's the only way! Only then can Zhao Guo be embarrassed by the Three Jin Alliance.

Peng Zhou came to the Zhao State and saw that the Zhao State was not only not defeated by the war, but on the contrary, it was very good. The capital city of Handan seems to be as prosperous as ever. At least! The people who live in Handan are very good.

Soon after coming to Handan, Peng Zhou discovered that Lü Buwei was in contact with strangers.

Who is Inhuman? He inquired and found out, it turned out to be the grandson sent by the King of Qin to Zhao as a hostage.

As you can imagine! The grandsons who were hostages were generally not treated well by the King of Qin. Grandsons who are treated are usually summoned back as soon as they complete their mission. Only the hostages who are not waiting to be seen are placed here permanently, and if they die, they will die. If he doesn't die, he's a hostage.

If he dies, he will have another reason to attack you. Of course! When it is in favor of attacking you, I will settle the old account with the new one.

In a word! You, the hostage you don't want to see, are a chess piece, a chess piece that can be sacrificed at any time.

It was not long after Peng Zhou inquired about the identity of the alien that he got the news that the crown prince of Qin had died in Wei.

There is no way! The speed of information transmission in ancient times was too slow, until now! He only learned the news of the death of the crown prince of Qin.

Yiren's father is the second in line, and it is possible to inherit the position of the crown prince.

But! Inhuman is an unpopular person, so what good is it for him?

Thinking about Lu Buwei's shrewdness, Peng Zhou didn't think much about it.

thought to himself: Since Lu Buwei took the initiative to get close to the stranger, he must have his reason.

After staying in Handan City for a while, Peng Zhou still did not go to meet Lü Buwei and his daughter Peng Yan and Peng Chunxi.

He secretly looked at his daughter, and when he saw that his daughter looked more and more like her mother's twin sister, he didn't dare to stand up and get acquainted. He was afraid that he would not be able to stand it and would take his daughter away.

Since meeting will bring pain, it is better not to see.

After calming down, Peng Zhou left Handan, the capital of Zhao State, and prepared to return to Nanban. But! Before leaving, he was going to go to Xianyang, Qin State.

Until now, he still doesn't know the situation on his brother Peng Yu and his sister's side?

Since the last time he helped King Qin kill King Yiqu, Peng Zhou has not met Peng Yu again. At the beginning, he could also get news of his brother Peng Yu from Wei Ran. Afterward! All news is broken. But! There was no unfortunate news either. Other words! Brother Peng Yu's family and sister and brother-in-law's family should all be safe.

Now Peng Zhou has a lot of ID cards.

He didn't want to go to Qin as Peng Zhou, and he didn't dare to go to Qin as Peng Zhou. So! Change it to Zhao Guo's ID card and enter Qin State directly from Zhao Guo's side.

Soon after coming to Xianyang, Peng Zhou met his eldest nephew.

What made him a little hurt was that his eldest nephew was a few years younger than him, so he didn't take his uncle seriously.

But! and did not ignore him.

I heard from my eldest nephew that my brother Peng Yu is not serving in Qin's army now. But! Become the personal guard of the King of Qin. Or rather! The head of the Qin King's bodyguard.

In normal times, he is always by the side of King Qin. Especially when King Qin met someone, he was absolutely by his side. Only when the King of Qin did not see the guests, he had time to go home.

Although he is the personal guard of King Qin, but! But he didn't use the name of "Nine Fingers" or Peng Yu as a guard. But! The incognito kind.

Peng Zhou didn't want to be discovered, so he didn't seem to go to Peng Yu's house.

On my sister's side, Peng Zhou naturally didn't dare to go publicly. He asked his eldest nephew for help and tricked his sister somewhere. And then! Secretly watching from the side.

There is no way! Who asked him to help King Qin kill King Qin's stepfather, King Yiqu?

Although this matter has not been made public, but! There are definitely quite a few people who want to take revenge on him. If the Yiqu people knew, wouldn't it be strange if they didn't kill him?

And also! King Qin's half-father, the son of King Yiqu, lived in Xianyang City. People have the blood of the Yiqu people, if they know that you are back in Xianyang City, it is strange if they don't kill you to take revenge?
