In early May, the good news of Qin Guo Poyan had been coming for several days, and in the Huyang Pavilion, the pavilion guards who had nothing important to deal with were chattering about this matter during the meal.

"I heard that Jicheng was beaten down in late March, and it took more than a month for the news to reach Nanjun."

"I went to inquire with the heir, the king of Yan and the prince Dan escaped from the national capital, and the general sent a little general Li Xin, who was about the same age as us, to chase him all the way, forcing the king of Yan to kill his son and offer his head."

Tingzu Yuliang is not only illiterate, but he has never left the northern part of Anlu County for most of his life, so he has no geographical concept at all about what Yanguo and Jicheng, and he listened to Dongmen Leopard and Ji Ying chatting excitedly for a long time before asking.

"Pavilion Chief, how far is Yan Kingdom Jicheng from An Lu?"

"It should be more than 2,000 miles."

Heifu put down the bowl and thought about it, probably because of the distance between the imperial capital of Hubei Xiaofu in later generations, how to say that there are more than a thousand kilometers.

"Two thousand miles!" Yuliang was speechless, he felt that it was far away for twenty miles, two thousand miles, and he couldn't imagine it at all.

Heifu told them that this world is thousands of miles wide and divided into Kyushu, and their southern county is located in Jingzhou, Yanguo is located in Youzhou, and Guanzhong is Yongzhou.

By the way, he also corrected the mistake that Dongmen Leopard and others had always thought that Yan State was in the north of Qin State, who let Heifu be the only one who had seen the map of the whole country among all the people here? His understanding of the geographical area is much better than the ambiguous "southeast, northwest" of this era.

At this time, everyone in Huyang Pavilion couldn't help but be amazed, and Li Xian said in surprise: "The pavilion chief is younger than me, and he has never left Anlu, and when it comes to the geography of mountains and rivers, he looks like a well-informed elder. ”

Lixian couldn't help but be surprised, at this time, Ji Ying didn't wait for Heifu to explain, so he laughed: "I know, this is all told to him by Heifu's father and brother, Heifu's brother, do you still remember?" I heard that he went to the north when he was in the army, and when he came back, he taught Heifu a northern ballad, how did he sing it? The wind is sluggish......"

Heifu hurriedly stretched out his chopsticks, stuffed a piece of water chestnut into Ji Ying's mouth, and blocked his words with food!

The song "Yi Shui Song" was when he heard that Jing Ke failed to assassinate King Qin half a year ago, and he felt it in the guest house.

Although there are very few people who know about Yi Shuige in this southern county, it is better to be careful, Heifu decided that when he finds an opportunity, he must tell Ji Ying, and he is not allowed to mention that matter again! In case he was accused of "sympathizing with the Assassins", Heifu would not be able to eat and walk around.

At this time, the others also finished their meals, and the pavilion's father, Puzhang, got up to pack up the pottery bowls and wooden daggers, and everyone sat around and continued to chat, and the topic unconsciously biased towards the war in the past few years.

Since the seventeenth year of the reign of King Qin, he ordered the then Nanyang Taishou Teng to attack Han, get Han Wang'an, take all the Han land, and set up Yingchuan County, for several consecutive years, the Qin State has invested a large number of troops to carry out the war of annihilation.

In the eighteenth year, the king ordered the general Wang Jian to attack Zhao, and Wang Jian made a divisive plan to make Li Mu, the last famous general of Zhao, die, and led the army to raid Jingcheng and swept through Zhao. In the nineteenth year, the city of Handan was broken, King Zhao was captured, and only one prince fled to Daijun on the edge with hundreds of members of the clan and established himself as the acting king.

Last year, because of Jing Ke's assassination of the King of Qin, it triggered the revenge of the Qin State against Yan, and after half a year of fierce fighting, now finally broke the capital of the Yan State, the prince Dan died, and only the King of Yan fled to Liaodong County to survive.

The remnants of the Yan Dynasty were only a few thousand, no longer posing a threat to Qin, and they were located in a remote area, so the Qin army did not take advantage of the victory to pursue and destroy them, but let Wang Jian return to the court.

In this way, there are seven countries in the world, and three of them have been swept away in five years, and the blind can see that Qin and the world are already the trend of the times, so the big guys are speculating, next, whose turn will it be?

For the Qin people, who have been engaged in the two professions of "farming" and "warfare" all their lives, war is not far away, but closely related to their lives.

Those who have the courage and ability are happy when they hear the battle, and expect to be knighted for meritorious service; Those who don't want to fight have to pay attention to where the war breaks out, because it involves whether they will be drafted into the army, and they can be mentally prepared.

"The next step is definitely to destroy the Chu State! When the time comes, Anlu Ding Zhuang will definitely be requisitioned! ”

Dongmen Leopard said firmly that he also expected so.

Interestingly, although these people were Chu people three generations ago, they are now full of Chu sounds, and they have retained a lot of Chu customs and gods. But after 50 years of Qin law control, ordinary people have long regarded themselves as Qin people and Chu as foreign countries.

The geographical location of Anlu County is very special, surrounded by Chu on three sides, facing Chu across Tongbai Mountain in the north, facing Chu in the east, stretching for thousands of miles in the Dabie Mountains, passing the Dabie Mountain, it is the hinterland of Huainan in Chu, and the south bank of Jiangshui and Yunmengze is the Jiangnan land of Chu, that is, Changsha in Hunan and other places in later generations.

In everyone's life, they are all strict guards against the Chu State, so they also regard Chu as the first imaginary enemy on weekdays.

"I don't think I will destroy the Chu State first." Heifu smiled and shook his head: "The Wei State is still blocking the Central Plains, blocking the way of the army to the east, how can the king avoid the near and far away?" ”

Dongmen Leopard was not convinced: "Heifu, you also said that Yan Kingdom is two or three thousand miles away in the northeast, don't you break Yan first?" ”

"That's because the Yan State sent assassins and angered the king, for the Qin State, how can the insult of the assassin not be avenged?"

Heifu dipped his finger in the water, drew a rough map on the case, and explained: "The state of Chu is different, although it is a strong rival of the state of Qin, the main direction of the attack on the state of Chu is blocked by Wei. If you want to destroy Chu, you have to break Wei first, and whether Wei is fighting or surrendering, I'm afraid it won't survive next year......"

"When the Wei State is destroyed, it will pass through the Wei land and storm Jingchu. At that time, the army will definitely march from Wei, although Nanjun is adjacent to Chu, but the mountains and rivers are separated, it is difficult to cross, the fortress of the underworld of Tongbai Mountain is a dangerous fortress that one person should not open, and Dabie Mountain can not enter or exit. Unless it is a Lou ship that departs from Bashu and goes all the way along the Great River and Yunmengze to attack the south of the Chu State, it will not send troops from Anlu......"

At this time, Heifu felt that the atmosphere was not right, and when he looked up, he saw that everyone was looking at him dumbfounded.

Li Xian was the most shocked, he thought to himself: "The pavilion chief is really from a poor soldier and has never left Anlu?" At that time, I saw that he didn't even know Ruo Ao's clan, and he was a little contemptuous, but he didn't think about it, but he knew the location of Yan Zhao thousands of miles away, and even explained the order of the future Qin State to send troops to destroy the country! Where exactly did he learn that? ”

Several other people also looked at each other, what Heifu said was much beyond their cognition of these bitter backgrounds, so they didn't understand right or wrong at all, but they didn't know what was right, and even admired Heifu even more.

However, Dongmen Leopard was worried: "If, as Heifu said, no matter what, Anlu County is not the main direction of sending troops, then wouldn't we miss this big battle?" ”

In the past few days, listening to the story of General Li Xin's light cavalry chasing King Yan and winning the head of Prince Dan, Dongmen Leopard has been full of blood. It's a pity that the northern battlefield is too far away for him to catch up, but fighting against the Chu State is something that should not be missed, and this may be the last opportunity for meritorious service.

Heifu relieved him: "The state of Chu is not comparable to Han, Wei, Yan, and Zhao, with a vast territory and a wide range of soldiers, it has always been the biggest enemy of the Qin state, and it is also the vertical of all previous times. If the king wants to destroy Chu, I am afraid that the whole country will have to recruit troops, and when the time comes, I am afraid that these of us who are pavilion chiefs and small officials will inevitably put on armor and go out with the army. ”

"That's good!"

Dongmen Leopard slapped his palm, looked at Heifu and said: "When he was in the service, Heifu was proficient in the method of military training and led us to win the championship in the exercise. When Heifu talks about military affairs, those military strategies seem to be in your chest. In my opinion, with Heifu's ability, he can be a general, and when the time comes, we will follow you, and we will definitely be able to make great contributions! ”

"How can I be a general." Heifu couldn't cry or laugh: "A little Shangzai, at most a tun chief." ”

But in Heifu's heart, he also pondered. Although the commander is small and needs to charge into battle during battle, he also has fifty people under his command, which has a better chance of survival than ordinary soldiers.

If Wang Jian invades Chu and the whole country recruits troops, the soldiers of Anlu County will be commanded by the county lieutenant. Under the county lieutenant, it was arranged according to the township origin, and the pavilion chief was a ready-made military official, and most of Heifu's subordinates at that time were the people in front of him.

Although the status of Dongmen Leopard, Xiao Tao, Ji Ying, and Lixian is not high, they have their own strengths, and it is enough to be the chief and the chief of Wu.

If these people can be used as the backbone to form the Shiwu, let alone survive at that time, Heifu is even confident that he will make more meritorious deeds! Seek a good future after reunification!

"Do I want to use the excuse of preparing for Kou to let everyone practice martial arts with me and prepare early?"

Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly, Pavilion Father Puzhang ran in and said, "Pavilion Chief, someone is looking for you outside!" ”

"Looking for me?"

Heifu and everyone looked at each other, so they walked out of the pavilion together, and came outside, but saw an old man with gray hair, leading a jujube horse, standing outside the pavilion, it was the "foal" who went to the blind mountain with Heifu to save people.

Seeing the black man come out, the colt hurriedly said to him: "The old man has seen the pavilion chief, the pavilion chief saved my daughter, and also sought justice for her, the old man has no thanks, now there is a good horse, I am willing to dedicate it to the pavilion chief, for the purpose of transportation!" ”
