On the third day of the Qin occupation of Chenliu, Li Shang sat on a straw mat at his home in Gaoyangli, wiping the only valuable thing in the house: a copper sword. While rubbing, I gritted my teeth.

The shame of being ruled by a foreign country, the guilt of his fallen companions, and all kinds of emotions made him feel righteous indignation.

As a ranger, Li Shang did not have the slightest good impression of the Qin State, and today, the newly appointed Qin officials read out the legal decree by the city gate, asking Chen Liuren to abide by it. Such as "more than three people drink in groups for no reason, and a fine of three taels will be fined", "the strong man does not give birth, and wanders all day long, which is a crime for the yang" and so on......

This means that the husbands who were once loved by the light heroes of the Wei Kingdom will be forbidden to get together for games, sad songs and generous songs, and high drinking parties. If there is no inspection and transmission, and they can't even get out of the city gate, this is not their life!

Freedom and ease, what the rangers value most, were suddenly restrained by the strict Qin law, and under the rule of Qin, they could only honestly farm and become soldiers.

In addition to being indignant, a bold idea suddenly popped up in Li Shang's mind, and he didn't care about being angry with his eldest brother, so he immediately said to Li Shiqi, who was holding a scroll of broken bamboo slips and flipping through them:

"Brother, since the Qin State forbids rangers and strategists, and does not value Confucianism, we might as well leave Chen Liu and go to Suiyang!"

"The previous three thousand Wei pawns retreated over there, and it is said that the younger brother of the King of Wei, the prince of Ningling, is in Suiyang, and is recruiting the people of the Three Jin Dynasty, backed by Qi Chu, to fight against Qin together. With his brother's talent, he can't be used by him, and maybe, he can also say that he can move Qi and Chu together, counterattack back, and drive away the Qin people! ”

His original intention to do this was not to "restore the Wei State", but to regain his "free" life.

However, Li Shiqi looked at his naïve brother like a fool.

"Go to Suiyang? Persuade Qi and Qin to attack Qin? My brother, you have heard too much bragging from those light heroes who claim to have been the guests of Xinling Jun on weekdays. What Xinlingjun and Tang Gong can't do, I can do it as a Gaoyang pariah? ”

Ten years ago, why didn't Li Shiqi have similar ideals?

In order to raise his younger brother, he could only start as a drunken vendor, and later pretended to be a Confucian student, writing letters for others for a living, and slowly worshipped a certain unknown Wei State strategist as a teacher, and learned some skills.

Those of them who learn the art of vertical and horizontal, short and long, all have their own idols, such as Zhang Yi and Su Qin from afar, and Tang Ju from Daliang City as near. Li Shiqi originally wanted to follow Su Qin's head to cantilevered the beam and stab the stock, read the art of the strategists, and adopt Confucian knowledge, and then traveled around the princes of the world, relying on the three-inch tongue to do a vigorous and vigorous thing.

But in the past ten years, what he has been waiting for is the news of the fall of the six countries one after another.

So he was smart enough to understand that the good times of the Zongheng family had passed forever.

If the vertical and horizontal art wants to be useful, it must be that the princes of the world maintain the balance of power, this kind of Qin State is dominant, one-sided war, and the lobbyist and strategist have become a small way, useless.

At this time, it seems to be a little late to take refuge in the Qin State, and the side of the King of Qin is already full of talents from all walks of life. Want to be like Zhang Yi and Fan Ju, the predecessors of the Wei State, and have a meeting between monarchs and ministers?

Forty-year-old Li Shiqi touched his beard and felt that it was unrealistic.

He knows very well that he is the center of the Qin State, and there is no shortage of people like him who can give advice.

Don't think about suddenly becoming rich, let's survive first.

But first, Li Shiqi had to wake up his younger brother, who was difficult to give up the life of a ranger.

"My brother." Li Shiqi was not polite, and snatched his younger brother's sword and said: "Suiyang, you don't have to go, I can't guess that in two months, the Great Song County will definitely not be guarded!" ”

"Why is my brother so sure!" Li Shang was not convinced.

Li Shiqi said complacently: "I don't have to go out to know the general trend of the world." ”

The next words made Li Shang stunned.

"Chen Liu, it is the rush of the Wei State, the suburbs that extend in all directions, the meeting place of the soldiers, the accumulation of tens of thousands of stones, and the city is very strong. However, the Wei generals did not defend and gave up, leaving all the accumulated grain here to the Qin State, which shows that his ignorance is incorrigible! ”

"The Qin people saw clearly that they came to attack Chenliu first, precisely to control the main roads in the roads here, and to seize Chenliu's grain. The king takes the people as the sky, and the people take food as the sky, the Qin army according to Chen Liuzhisu, the army marched eastward, and soon was able to sweep the counties of Weidong, and then gather to Suiyang. Ning Lingjun has always been cowardly and can't afford to take on heavy responsibilities, he will never be able to turn the tide and become the second Xinling Jun! ”

Li Shiqi said firmly: "This Wei State is doomed!" Anyway, no matter where you flee to, it is the county of Qin, you should give up this idea early, restrain your ranger behavior, and do a good job of obeying the people under the rule of Qin. ”

Li Shang was very deflated when he heard this, and sat on the straw mat with his buttocks, holding the scabbard without saying a word.

Li Shiqi patted his hair bun and said: "From tomorrow onwards, you are friendly with those light heroes who fought against the Qin army, it is difficult to say that someone will denounce you, you are at home, don't go anywhere." I'll go and make friends with the new Chen Liuling of the Qin State, and try again to see if I can also be a local official of the Qin State. ”

"My brother didn't want to be a Wei official before, why does he want to be a Qin official now?" Li Shang was very puzzled.

Li Shiqi looked at his younger brother and sighed: "Didn't I say it, those who do not stasify in things, but can move with the world, can exist in the world." If I don't be a Qin official and protect you, maybe one day, you will be arrested by Qin officials for the crime of wandering! ”

……

Li Shiqi's guess was right, the reason why the Qin army sent troops to occupy Chenliu was indeed Chenliu's accumulation.

At the Chen Liu's warehouse, it was the "thousand people" who were ordered to be stationed nearby, and looking back at the mountain of granaries, Heifu was a little emotional.

It also makes people laugh and cry, the three thousand Wei pawns ran too fast and didn't have time to burn down this granary. And Chen Liuling of Wei knew that Chen Liuling might not be able to hold it, and was about to be ruthless and set fire to burn him, but it was Chen Liu's father who stopped him.

"Spring ploughing has been delayed, the grain in Chen Liu's warehouse is the last hope, if it is burned once, Chen Liu's tens of thousands of people, how will they eat?"

Chen Liuling relented, and under the bitter pleading of the local people, he actually gave up burning grain, and finally cheapened the Qin army.

The people take food as the sky, and whoever controls the grain will choke the lifeblood of the local people, so although Chen Liuren still hates the Qin army that conquered this place, no one has jumped out to resist.

At this moment, the Qin army was busy counting the grain in Chen Liucang, and scooping those grains into rice to fill the army food.

At this time, Hefu was astonished to see that several of the treadmills had been transported from the side of the baggage troops, and after they had been placed, the soldiers had been licked up day and night on the stone mortars outside the granary.

It has only been a short year since his family presented this thing to the engineer of Anlu County, and he never thought that the official government of the Qin State would be so efficient, not only in the counties of Nanjun, but also in all townships. In the Qin army, the tassel named "An Lu Jie" also became a necessary equipment for the army to carry on expeditions, and it was widely used.

At this moment, everyone in Anlu County was so proud, especially the talkative Ji Ying, who began to brag to his comrades from other counties.

"This thing is made in Anlu County, so it's called Anlu Jie! What, you don't even know where An Lu is? Hey, what ignorance, shallowness! ”

He pointed at Heifu again and said, "The craftsman who made this thing is Heifu's sister!" Hefu, these people don't believe it, you come and say something! ”

Heifu smiled, ignored it, and let Ji Ying continue to brag.

He thought: "It seems that in terms of disseminating science and technology, the Qin government is indeed extremely efficient, so that the Taqi will also spread throughout the six countries of Shandong with the pace of the Qin army's conquest, and perhaps the economy that withered after the war can recover faster." ”

Thinking about it this way, Heifu felt that he had made a great contribution to the progress of productivity in this era.

Well, although this time, Heifu is considered to be a good deed without leaving a name.

After the Qin army stayed in Chenliu for four days and stabilized the local order, the Zhonggen Qiang issued a new combat strategy.

The more than 10,000 soldiers were divided into four parts: 1,000 people stayed behind to guard Chen Liu, one 2,500 lord from Guanzhong was appointed as the temporary Chen Liuling, and two 500 lords were Chen Liucheng and Chen Liuwei. This is what the Qin army often did after conquering a place, allowing military officials to take office on the ground and exercise military management.

In addition, 1,000 people transported the grain from Chen Liucang back to the west, and more than 100,000 people gathered under the city of Daliang.

Qiang himself, then personally commanded the main force of 6,000 to continue eastward, to the east of the Wei State of Dasong County: there is the center of the remnants of the Wei State gathered, Ningling Jun Wei blamed 5,000 troops, in Suiyang with his back to Qi Chu, recruiting the three Jin Dynasty soldiers, trying to resist stubbornly, these diehards, must be cleared.

As for the remaining 3,000 men, they were divided into three parts, and marched to the south, north, and northeast of Chenliu County to capture the three nearby counties.

The good news is that the thousand people where Heifu and they are will also head north, aiming for Waihuang County!

"In an army of 10,000 people, credit is not easy to get, but in a single battle of 1,000 people, the chances are several times more!"

Heifu secretly made a decision, this time, he must not miss it!

……

Just as Li Shiqi put on his clothes and began to try to talk with the Qin officials who stayed in the local area, Heifu and others also left Chenliu with the army and marched towards Waihuang County.

At the same time, fifty miles to the north, Huang Ling Zhang Er was also pacing anxiously in the mansion......
