Pig Killer

Chapter 366

"This isn't Hangu Pass, the number one pass in the world. How could ordinary people know about it?" Shen Hui'e rolled her eyes gracefully and said, "Perhaps the nobles in the capital don't even know that Hedong County has been captured by us. They are still living a life of luxury! Or they are waiting for the news that the government troops in front have annihilated the rebel army."

"This..." Huang Zhongchang and Zhang Jixian were speechless when asked.

"Their attention is all on the Yu family. We are like ants in their eyes. There is no need to worry about us." Shen Hui'e snorted.

"Then let's set off to go home. If Xiaoguan is poorly defended, we will go through Xiaoguan to enter Guanzhong." Huang Zhongchang decisively said, "If Xiaoguan is heavily guarded, then we will cross the 800-li Qinchuan to enter Guanzhong."

"Yes!" Shen Hui'e nodded hurriedly, "I'll make arrangements for Da Chong's grandmother and grandfather when I go back this time!"

"Yes! This time we are not sneaking around anymore. Now we are standing in front of everyone, and everyone in the world knows about it. We don't know who will use them to threaten us. We must protect them well, and there will be no worries." Huang Zhongchang said with deep conviction, blinking his black eyes as he looked at them and said, "Things went more smoothly than I thought. I thought it would be very difficult! We have made full preparations."

"They should be more anxious than us." Zhang Jixian looked at him with his dark eyes.

"The government troops are gathering! How can we not be anxious? If they surround us and we can't resist, we will be beheaded." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her deep and unfathomable black eyes.

"No matter what, we have achieved our goal now and can leave." Huang Zhongchang said happily, "These princes only want to stand on the shore and share the joys and sorrows, and don't want to go down to share the hardships at all." He shook his head slightly and said, "Where is such a good thing in this world!" He snorted coldly and said, "If General Yu annihilates the government troops, these princes will have no hope."

"We'll settle the score later!" Shen Hui'e snorted, "No matter who wins, we'll have to deal with them in the end. Fence-sitters usually don't have a good ending."

"Hmm! It's impossible to let them split the land and divide the territory." Huang Zhongchang said with deep conviction.

"Then the war will start again! The people will be caught up in the flames of war." Zhang Jixian frowned slightly and looked at them and said, "This is different from your original intention."

"By then, the conspiracy will be unsolvable." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with raised eyebrows.

"We can publicize our various policies that benefit the people." Huang Zhongchang said with a proud smile, "These princes will either follow or not. If they don't, they are not afraid of the people's rebellion! If they do, they have to be able to follow."

"Snap..." Shen Hui'e snapped her fingers and said with a smile, "That's right!"

Huang Zhongchang frowned and said, "I am more worried about the 400,000 cavalrymen in the northwest border."

"Have these border troops always been stationed on the border?" Shen Hui'e asked Zhang Jixian with her deep and penetrating eyes.

"Of course." Zhang Jixian nodded quickly after hearing this.

"Where do their soldiers come from? Locally or from other places?" Shen Hui'e looked at him with clear eyes and asked again.

"There aren't many locals. Most of them are commoners from Guanzhong and Guandong, and prisoners exiled to the border areas." Zhang Jixian looked at her with his dark eyes and said, "What do you want to do, sister-in-law? They are loyal to the court."

"Border troops are all meritorious people for the country and the people. They are generals! Don't ordinary people miss home? Ordinary people don't miss their mothers, fathers, wives, and children at home!" Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows and looked at him and said.

"Of course I do." Huang Zhongchang nodded heavily after hearing this, "I understand that very well." He smiled and said, "Madam, you are trying to win the heart."

"That's right! The imperial court is gone, who are they loyal to?" Shen Hui'e looked at them with her bright black eyes and said, "Since you have been guarding the border for so many years to defend your country, you shouldn't point your blade at the people you once protected."

"You're taking it for granted!" Zhang Jixian looked at her in astonishment.

"Let's give it a try! Divide them." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her bright eyes and said, "For those who want to retire, we will distribute land and give them money. For those who want to continue to serve the country, we will disband them and incorporate them into our army. As for those who resist stubbornly, I'll apologize."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Huang Zhongchang nodded repeatedly.

"The land all belongs to the wealthy families in Guanzhong..." Zhang Jixian could no longer speak in front of their eyes which were glowing green. He had plenty of ways to deal with the wealthy families.

"Defeat them one by one." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her shiny black eyes and said, "Even though there are 400,000 of them, they are not a monolithic group."

"Okay! It's better to have rules than to be headless." Zhang Jixian looked at them gently and said, "If we can successfully take the capital, and General Yu annihilates the government troops, then the two families will be open rivals."

Huang Zhongchang raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said, "If the Yu family army really defeated the criminal army, they will definitely aim at the capital. Then he will have to fight with those people in the Central Plains, which will just consume his troops."

"What if they surrender to the Yu family army?" Zhang Jixian frowned and looked at him and said, "The Yu family is waiting for us to be attacked from all sides!"

"They didn't expect that we have plenty of ways!" Huang Zhongchang looked at him with amusement and said, "Then it all depends on your ability!" He looked at him with a smile and said, "When no one can swallow the other, then we can temporarily divide the world equally, gather strength to fight again, swallow the other side, and unify the world."

Zhang Jixian looked at him in astonishment and said, "Okay!" Then he said, "It's not impossible for my second brother to divide the world equally."

"That won't do. This is only temporary. We absolutely cannot unify the world." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her deep and clear eyes and said, "You will be scolded by future generations, you little kid from Guanzhong, you don't think about making progress, you just want to live in peace in a corner. An emperor who doesn't think about unifying the world is not a good emperor."

"Haha..." Huang Zhongchang smiled and nodded, "Madam, you are absolutely right!"

"Sister-in-law has this idea, I wonder if anyone else has it?" Zhang Jixian suddenly asked curiously.

"Not necessarily." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with deep and penetrating eyes.

"What do you mean?" Huang Zhongchang tilted his head slightly and looked at her.

"If they had a unified idea, they wouldn't be using the name of the vassal states." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with raised eyebrows.

Zhang Jixian looked at her with sudden enlightenment and said, "That makes sense! They only want to carve out a territory and dominate it."

"That's right!" Shen Hui'e smiled at them and said, "Unification is the general trend. Either you unify others, or you are unified by others. This is not subject to personal willpower. Only when you are unified can you be called orthodox, and you are appointed by heaven and will live forever. Those who inherit everything from their predecessors and fail to unify are traitors."

"Cough cough..." Huang Zhongchang coughed twice.
