Chapter 845: The Prosperous Business Road in the West

Yesterday, early in the morning in Xianyang City, countless Qin troops spread out from the palace and occupied the main passage.

Both sides of the road were also lined with excited Xianyang people, because their First Emperor was about to start patrolling again.

Not long after, the First Emperor's carriage slowly appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing the majestic Guards, the people of Xianyang couldn't help but burst into cheers.

"Your Majesty, ten thousand years!"

This is the people paying respect to their emperor and expressing their pride.

The long motorcade traveled all the way to Xianyang.

On the upper floor of Xianyang City, Zhao Lang was leading the ministers to watch the motorcade leave. After the motorcade was farther away, Zhao Lang asked the slave next to him,

"Why does my father bring such a skilled man as a supervisor to this motorcade?"

The slave returns,

"Master, I don't know, maybe it's for the convenience of traveling on the road. After all, the land of Baiyue is too desolate, and it's not easy to find craftsmen there."

"It's better to take some with you, it will be more convenient for patrolling."

Zhao Lang could only nod his head. Fortunately, he now had the support of the Mo family and was not in short supply of craftsmen.

Just watching the convoy slowly go away, Zhao Lang always felt that he seemed to have forgotten what he said to his father.

After thinking about it, I didn't have any clue.

"It shouldn't be a big deal, otherwise I wouldn't forget it."

Zhao Lang muttered to himself for a while, then turned around and left with the others.

The other ministers and nobles were looking at the direction of the convoy with complicated expressions.

This was not the first time that the First Emperor went on a tour, but there was no such time as this time. The First Emperor did not bring any prestigious ministers or nobles with him, nor did he set up a channel to handle political affairs.

The craftsmen and others brought a lot with them.

In other words, the entire political affairs of the Qin Dynasty are now handled by the Crown Prince alone. To put it more bluntly, there is no difference between the authority of the Crown Prince and the emperor.

In the past, the First Emperor would still participate in political affairs to some extent. At least Zhao Gao, who had died long ago, often appeared in the court, and everyone could only pretend they didn't see each other.

Of course they also understood what the First Emperor meant. Although the abdication was not successful, the abdication did not make much difference.

Soon the ministers and nobles also hurriedly followed Zhao Lang's footsteps, but some elderly people inevitably fell behind.

At this time, Qin Shihuang's motorcade was inside.

Qin Shihuang sat in his carriage and looked out from the window as Xianyang City gradually faded away. When Xianyang City was completely out of sight, he asked Zhao Gao beside him,

"Have all the craftsmen who made the ink lamps been brought out?"

Zhao Gao came back repeatedly,

"As far as your Majesty is concerned, the craftsmen's materials for making the ink lanterns are all in the convoy and have not been left behind. Don't worry."

After hearing this, Qin Shihuang nodded slightly.

Making large ink lanterns near Xianyang City is a bit conspicuous, and it is easy to be discovered by Lang'er. Now that he is going on a cruise anyway, he might as well bring everyone with him.

Moreover, the craftsmen also said that if the current materials are not good, there may be some new methods in the south.

"By the way, did Lang'er send over the map of the world that day?"

Qin Shihuang asked at this time.

Zhao Gao smiled and took out the map from a box nearby and returned.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. His Royal Highness has already sent the map."

Qin Shihuang took the map, looked at the direction of Xianyang with a complicated expression, and said to himself,

"Lang'er, if you really don't have that thought, how could you let the Xiang family go?"

Although Zhao Lang said that he had no intention of dominating the world, the other party's arrangements were all for the future.

This son of his always likes to be more supportive.

Of course, he just didn't know that when these backhands were working, he couldn't see them yet.

Thinking of this, Qin Shihuang took a slow breath. This time he must find a way to let Mo Deng take people to fly to the sky!

Ten days later, deep in the grasslands of Northern Qin.

A huge Xiongnu team was marching slowly. On both sides of the team were countless cattle and sheep, driven by the shepherds.

This should have been an extremely leisurely scene.

But at this time, most of the Huns had a hint of worry on their faces.

Because the Daqin cavalry passing by on both sides of the team from time to time let them know that they were not migrating to herd, but fleeing from their homes.

At this time, a group of Qin army spies galloped past the Xiongnu team and headed in the direction of their camp.

Then they arrived at a Qin army camp. After getting off their horses, they went directly into a tent and said,

"General Lu, the Xiongnu army is moving. Do we need to pursue and intercept it?"

After hearing the report, Lu did not immediately give the order. Instead, he looked at Zhou Bo and Zhang Liang aside and said,

"The Huns are moving much faster these days. It seems they want to cross to the west earlier. If they don't fight, they won't have such a good chance."

In fact, according to his idea, he should attack directly.

. Just a few days ago, a messenger brought back an order from Xianyang. This time, Zhang Liang was responsible for the handling of the Huns.

Zhou Bo also nodded, but still looked at Zhang Liang standing aside.

Although among the three of them, the other party's was the lowest in terms of title and official position, but the other party successfully persuaded them last time.

Now that there was an order from Xianyang, they naturally obeyed.

Seeing both of them looking over, Zhang Liang did not object directly this time, but said,

"What General Lu said makes sense, so I will ask the general to lead the attack and personally wipe out the tribes responsible for guarding the Xiongnu on both sides."

Upon hearing this, Lu Dun's eyes lit up, he stood up and said,

"You should have given the order a long time ago. Come and organize the army to attack!"

After saying that, he hurriedly picked up the weapon and walked out.

Now all those who were defeated were military merits, so of course he was excited.

Looking at the situation in the north now, all the tribes in the grassland have surrendered to Da Qin, and it will be difficult to fight again in the future.

After Lu left, Zhou Bo said with some doubts,

"Brother Liang, why did General Lu attack again this time?"

The other party had stopped me several times before.

Zhang Liang returned with a smile at this time,

"Brother Zhou, killing and intercepting the Huns has never been our purpose, it is just a means to make these Huns submit to our arrangements."

"Minimize the damage to us and others."

"Now that the Huns think that they are close to the west, they no longer need to be afraid of me waiting. At this time, they must suffer some hardships in order to achieve their goals."

Hearing this, Zhou Bo couldn't help but nodded with a bit of admiration.

"Brother Liang is really talented. I wonder how Brother Liang wants to arrange these people?"

When Zhang Liang heard the question, he did not answer directly. Instead, he pondered for a while and then asked,

"Brother Zhou, I did hear the sergeants who came to deliver supplies say in the past few days that there is an extremely prosperous trade route from Da Qin through the city-states in the west."

"Have you heard about this?"

After Zhang Liang finished speaking, he stared at Zhou Bo's eyes.
