Zhao Fu did not like these scholars. He felt that they were too scholarly and were not suitable for survival. After all, this was the Warring States Period, and they could not display much combat power.
However, these scholars could not afford to offend them. For example, Qin Shi Huang had burned books and buried Confucians. In order to unify ideas, he had burned some books, but he had never burned books on medicine, agriculture, or other practical techniques.
Burying Confucians was only caused by necromancers. During the Qin Dynasty, the old Confucians wanted to imitate the Zhou Dynasty and enfeoff the world. However, enfeoffment was the main cause of the Warring States Period, so how could Qin Shi Huang agree? Later on, necromancers coveted a large amount of wealth and slandered Qin Shi Huang, forcing Qin Shi Huang to burn Confucians.
Most of the necromancers were killed, and only a small portion of Confucians were implicated. Even so, the number of people killed was only 400 or so.
Even though it was only 400 or so, it was not a big deal. For example, when Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, he massacred tens of cities and killed hundreds of thousands of people to consolidate his rule. However, not many people thought that he was a tyrant.
Many wise Emperors were injured and stained with blood, but they were still wise Emperors.
Qin Shi Huang had only done a small thing, but he was still remembered. This was because the people Qin Shi Huang had offended were scholars. They were the most important people in spreading ideas, and many books were left behind or written by them.
If they wanted to scold you, no matter what you did, you would go down in history. Those who did not understand would definitely think that Qin Shi Huang had burned all books and buried all Confucians.
That was why these scholars could not be easily offended. Every dynasty valued these scholars and supported them.
However, it was not good to have too many scholars. For example, in the Song Dynasty, there were many scholars and their living standards were the highest in China's history.
However, it was the dynasty that had suffered the most humiliation in China's history. The Qing Dynasty had only ceded land and paid compensation, but the Song Dynasty's Emperor's princess and concubines had all been taken as slaves and killed. It could be said that it was the most humiliating dynasty in China.
As such, what was the point of having so many scholars? What was the point of having high living standards? What was the point of having the most developed economy? However, your military strength is the weakest, so you suffer more humiliation, because in this world, strength speaks, not mouth speaks.
Due to these reasons, Zhao Fu cared a little about Li Muqing. Of course, Zhao Fu did not hate these literati. After all, they were the carriers and disseminators of ideology and culture.
…
"I want to see Prince Qin in person. Can you help me?" Li Muqing sat on the sofa and said to Zhao Fu with a smile.
Hearing this, Zhao Fu thought for a moment before replying, "That's impossible. Right now, the Legatee rarely meets people. If you have something to say, I can pass on the message. Also, why do you want to see the Legatee?"
"Hmm …"
Li Muqing lightly leaned against the sofa and lightly nodded before saying, "In actuality, it's nothing much. I just want to see what kind of person he is. Don't misunderstand, I don't want to become his concubine. I just want to see if he can establish a powerful Kingdom and protect literature and poetry. As such, I want to come to the State of Qin to take a look!"
Zhao Fu knew that things wouldn't be so simple, so he replied, "That's for sure. Culture is the core of a nation, and the Legatee will definitely protect it."
Hearing this, Li Muqing happily smiled and said, "Alright, I don't have much to do right now. I don't have anything to do right now, so I'll continue to stay in the Ying family. If Great Emperor has any questions, I'll be happy to help. "
Zhao Fu nodded, indicating that he understood.
Following this, Li Muqing, Liu Ruyan, and Pan Yuling left. Finally, Feng Shiyu glared at Zhao Fu and said, "Remember to tell your Legatee that I've come to the Ying family and that he needs to acknowledge me as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'll teach you a lesson."
After saying this, Feng Shiyu swung her little fists, looking like she was going to beat up Zhao Fu before leaving.
Zhao Fu dryly laughed and did not pay much mind to this, and he returned to the Heaven Awaken World.
…
By the time Zhao Fu returned to the State of Qin, all of the Generals and soldiers had already gathered, and Qin officially set off towards Westpan City.
A few hours later!
Zhao Fu led his army to the outskirts of Westpan City. Looking at Westpan City, Zhao Fu did not use any schemes and instead ordered his army to charge. They would first destroy the villages outside the city before surrounding Westpan City.
Because Zhao Fu's strength was enough to completely suppress the enemy, scheming would be quite troublesome. As such, Zhao Fu decided to use brute force to conquer.
The 400,000 Qin soldiers were like a massive black tide that surged forwards, seeming to want to devour everything. Of course, the ones at the front were the Cavalrymen.
Suddenly, the Kobold villagers who had been attacked looked quite confused. They had lived in peace for a long time, and with their strength, even system main cities did not dare to attack them. They had never thought that someone would dare to attack them.
The countless Qin Cavalrymen did not care about these people. They only had one thing in mind, which was to kill anyone who resisted.
They held spears and rode on their warhorses as they charged forwards with unstoppable momentum, piercing through the Kobold villagers' chests with their spears.
Immediately!
Blood flew everywhere as howls sounded out, and countless Kobold villagers died.
The Kobold villagers immediately resisted. After all, they were Outlanders, and their battle instincts were incredibly wild.
The Kobold villagers held spears, sabers, and clubs as they ferociously faced off against the Qin Cavalrymen. However, the outcome was tragic.
Firstly, they were just villagers and not soldiers. Secondly, their cultivation and equipment were far inferior to Qin soldiers'. What was more important was their numbers – there were only a few thousand of them, but they had to face hundreds of thousands of Qin soldiers.
No matter how ferocious the Kobold villagers were, they were incredibly weak in front of the Qin soldiers. They desperately threw out spears, but they found that they were all knocked away by the Qin soldiers, and they were unable to deal much damage.
What's more, the Kobold villagers were quickly inundated by the black tide, and everything returned to normal, leaving behind corpses lying on the ground.
However, even though the Kobold villagers had resisted quite quickly, they had also surrendered quite quickly. After all, they revered strength above all else, and after hearing that they would not kill those who surrendered, many of the Kobold villagers obediently knelt on the ground and chose to surrender.
After dealing with the villagers, Great Qin's soldiers tightly surrounded Westpan City.
