"How is this? I'll say it's okay!" Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief in an instant.

What followed was the crackling lightning and thunder in the sky. One by one, lightning flashed densely in the rainstorm, and all the thorns fell on several lightning rods, as if they were being pulled by an invisible force. The lightning lights in the sky fell on the lightning rods as if they were found to have a catharsis port, just like eight thunder dragons jumping in the rain. Such a strange scene immediately made the millions of people gathered on both sides of the Wei River to watch the lightning protection device inexplicably. Many people knelt in the rainstorm and kowtowed to Cuju Field.

"You all saw it. If you are afraid, stay below. I will go up and take a look!" Chen Xu raised his legs and headed towards an entrance of Cuju Field.

"Husband, I'll accompany you!" Shui Qingrou held Chen Xu's hand tightly.

Chen Xu hesitated a little and said with a smile: "Okay, don't be afraid. There should be no danger if there is a lightning rod to lead away lightning!"

Seeing Chen Xu and Shui Qingrou walking into the Cuju venue hand in hand, a group of guards gritted their teeth and followed them in a hurry. Zhang Cang, Liu Bang and others also looked at each other with pale faces and then followed carefully.

"By the way, everyone has untied the sword on their bodies!" Chen Xu turned around and reminded.

After everyone put down their swords, in the heavy rain and thunder and lightning, Chen Xu and a group of people slowly climbed down the audience passage to the top of Cuju Field, standing under a relatively safe eaves, eight lightning rods stood in the thunderstorm like spears, one after another, lightning bolts continued to fall on it, and the entire Cuju Field seemed to be trembling slightly as the sparks flashed.

Standing on the city tower at the south gate of Xianyang City, Qin Shihuang and Feng Quji Mengyi and other important officials in the court held a telescope in their hands, watching the Cuju field among the thunder and lightning in the sky, and were stunned by the eight winding and dazzling lightning.

"Look, is it under the eaves that is Qinghe Hou?"

Zhao Hai, the Hou Jiancheng who was also holding a telescope beside Qin Shihuang, suddenly pointed at the Cuju venue and exclaimed.

"Let me see!"

Qin Shihuang shook his telescope and soon saw a group of people appearing on the top of Cuju Field. One of the young men stood on the edge of the rain curtain with a slender figure. Although he was not very clear through the heavy rain, under the bright lightning, he was still very familiar with the figure. He was the important minister Chen Xu who relied on. There was also a graceful woman in black next to him, who should be his wife, Liezi's disciple Shui.

"Qinghe Hou is not afraid of such violent thunder and lightning. It must be because of the protection of the immortal magic!" Feng Quji's gray beard and eyebrows kept shaking.

"Such a strange situation has never been heard of!" Although Meng Yi has always been not very interested in his cheap son-in-law, the situation in front of him has to admit that his son-in-law is a monster and not an ordinary person.

"Qinghe Hou is really a god!" Zhao Wei, the young mansion commander, held the telescope and murmured to himself.

"The arrival of heavenly thunder is unstoppable. The Qinghe Marquis can actually avoid it. It must be a magic spell of the immortals. If I have the assistance of Qinghe Marquis, the Qin Dynasty will surely prosper!"

Qin Shihuang looked at Chen Xu, who was bathed in the thunder and rainstorm with excitement on his face. Deep in his burning eyes, the figure of Chen Xu, who was pointing the country on the top of the Cuju field in the lightning lightning.

At this time, standing on the top of Cuju field and looking at the dense lightning in front of you like a power grid, Chen Xu felt his hair on his body standing upside down and his scalp was numb.

Today, this pussy is a bit too much.

What if God is absent-minded in playing mahjong?

Zhang Cang, Liu Bang and others who were following him fought with a group of guards one by one. The twisted cheeks looked pale and ferocious in the lightning flash after another, but there was an unconcealed light in their eyes. There was fear, fear, and surprise in their eyes, but now they were all fascinated by the strange scene that had never been seen before like a miracle.

When they were immersed in the scene, they finally realized the horror of the thunderous wrath.

This situation will not only become their lifelong nightmare, but also become their lifelong glory.

The boy in front of him stood like a real god in the storm and thunder and lightning, looking at the sky with his arms around a beautiful woman and guiding the world. There was no fear or fear on his calm face, but his eyebrows would occasionally jump, as if he was very disdainful of the lightning in the sky.

Just as Chen Xu was busy promoting industrial and commercial development in Xianyang and installing lightning rods to prepare for a grand opening ceremony performance at Cuju Field, the Western Regions, which had entered the alternating season of spring and summer, also began a huge military expansion.

At the end of February, the cold Western Regions entered spring. Ying Gao, the second son of the Yuezhi Wangting, who had arrived at the establishment of the yamen, was finally on the right track with the assistance of his subordinates and aides.

In addition to appointing his own right and left prime ministers and censors, all officials of the three provinces and six ministries set up in the Qin court and counties, as well as officials in charge of each tribe. The former unified Yuezhi tribe was divided into two counties and eight counties, with more than 30 tribes of all sizes. The leaders of these tribes were also named after the unified official positions of the Central Plains and appointed as the chief and deputy officials of the county. According to the tribe size, county magistrates and police officers were also set up according to the tribe size. In order to speed up the rule of the Yuezhi tribe, Ying Gao began to promote the education of the Central Plains language in the Yuezhi tribes according to the orders of the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, and arranged the Dazhong tribe.

The apprentice of craftsmen from five major colleges guided the Yuezhi people to learn the advanced farming and breeding concepts of the Central Plains, promoted various laws and measures of the Qin Dynasty, and made four-wheeled carriages and agricultural tools and leather armor clothes. Because the Yuezhi was indeed too behind the Central Plains, King Ying Gao of Liang sent several envoys and caravans to Xianyang, requiring specialties such as fur, wool, rouge, garlic, gold, silver and jade to exchange for iron, bearings, porcelain, glass, pottery, linen, sugar and wine, tea, silk, pen, ink, paper and ink, and other materials in the Western Regions. The emperor also waved his sleeves very readily and arranged for all the departments of the three provinces and six ministries and the Academy of Sciences to do it.

Therefore, with the exchanges between envoys and caravans, various materials from the Central Plains were also continuously transported to the Yuezhi. At the same time, they also brought bundles of poems and books published by the Daqin Metropolitan Daily and Bookstore. These rare books and newspapers in the Western Regions soon became the favorite things of the disciples and staff members of the hundreds of families who followed King Liang, and became the best way for them to understand the various practical news of the Daqin.

When the preparations for the Wang Court began, Ying Gao issued an order to recruit 20,000 soldiers from each department of the Yuezhi tribe and entrusted Li Xin to help with training. At the same time, the craftsmen who accompanied him began to build large-scale pawn equipment such as stirrups and saddles.

At the end of March, the Central Plains had entered the strong spring season, but the Western Regions had just entered the spring. After a spring snow, the land was frozen and the grassland was blooming. King Ying Gao of Liang personally led the 20,000 Yuezhi army to cooperate with Jiang Hu and Li Xin to start attacking westward. The first battle was Wusun, the old neighbor of Yuezhi.

Like the Xiongnu Yuezhi, Wusun belonged to the Hu tribe, and lived without farming and pursuing water. He was a typical nomadic people, but also belonged to the nomadic people. Naturally, he had a strong sense of dominance about the grassland with abundant water and grass. Therefore, it was just like the relationship between the Yuezhi and the Xiongnu was not good, and the relationship between Wusun and the Yuezhi was also very bad. Kunmi, the leader of the Wusun tribe, was killed by the old Yuezhi king more than ten years ago.

Although Wusun is not as strong as Yuezhi, it is also the tribe among the tribes in the Western Regions that is second only to Yuezhi. Moreover, because of the hatred of killing the king, he repeatedly invaded the border of Yuezhi. He has been in war with Yuezhi for more than ten years. The Yuezhi tribe closest to Wusun is called the Dunhuang tribe, but the Dunhuang king has now been abolished. The Dunhuang king's identity has become the Dunhuang county magistrate. His subordinates are equipped with county magistrates and several subordinate ministers brought by Liang Wang from the Central Plains, and he has almost no military command rights. Moreover, this Dunhuang king was promoted last year. The former old Dunhuang king was slaughtered when King Tunan was defeated and fled westward. Not only did he take away thousands of cattle, sheep, horses and thousands of tribesmen, but he was basically completely embarrassed. He is now in a state of poverty.

After King Tunan plundered the Dunhuang tribe, he also knew that once the Qin Dynasty took over Yuezhi, he would inevitably chase him. Therefore, King Tunan brought the stolen cattle, sheep, horses and women to Wusun to surrender to King Wusun. In order to stabilize his strength, King Tunan attacked Loulan and occupied an area to stabilize his foothold.

With the help of King Toonan, King Wusun launched an attack on the Dunhuang tribe after the autumn of last year. As a result, the Dunhuang tribe was robbed again and lost countless populations, cattle, sheep and horses, and had to retreat to the direction of the Yuezhi royal court. At present, most of Dunhuang has fallen under the control of Wusun, but King Wusun did not dare to continue attacking Yuezhi. The two sides are currently in a relatively calm confrontation.

In early April, two armies of Li Xin and Jiang Hu joined forces, and with the 20,000 Yuezhi Servant Army of Liang's 20,000 Yuezhi Servant Army arrived in Dunhuang. Forty thousand troops swept across like black clouds, instantly crushed several Wusun tribes to ashes. After occupying Dunhuang, they set up camp in Jiuquan, and then repaired ten days later to attack Wusun again. They soon defeated the Wusun king's army and killed the Wusun king and more than ten tribe leaders. In less than ten days, they occupied Wusun. Seeing that the Qin army was fierce, the King of Tunan could only flee west again with thousands of tribes and the robbed Yuezhi Servant tens of thousands of tribes, fled westward, fought with Loulan again, and then fled into the desert and headed westward.

While Liang King Ying Gao followed Li Xin and Jiang Hu's troops to fight together, he also continued to expand his territory. After occupying Wusun, he plundered food and grass on the spot to support the two armies and arranged county commission officials, and soon included Wusun in his jurisdiction.

After occupying Wusun, the Hexi Corridor, which later generations called later generations, was actually opened up. What we were facing were many different tribes and small countries scattered around the desert and snow-capped mountains.
