"After the Qingyang incident, the Qin State and the Chu State have already started a war! But the general forbade us to go out and attack the enemy? ”

In late June, in the western border of the Chu State, in the Fortress of Hades, an angry question sounded.

Zhong Liyi is no longer dressed as a farmer when he was a spy in Anlu County a year ago, he is now wearing a Chu style leather armor painted red, as if he is a Chu State military official, although he is only the lowest-level "two Simas", there are only twenty-five people under him.

But this insignificant little military officer in the eyes of his boss suppressed his anger at the moment and questioned General Yin's decision.

The "Qingyang incident" that Zhong Liyi said was a major event that happened in the south of the Chu River in early June.

Last year, the Qin State sent Wang Ben to lead the army to storm Chu Shangcai and Chen Ying, and the Chu State had just happened to kill the monarch and seize the throne. At that time, as long as the Qin army was willing, it could go south along the Rushui, break Juyang, and threaten the Chu capital Shouchun.

The king of Chu had no choice but to propose to the state of Qin at the suggestion of the lord and faction that he proposed to offer the land west of Qingyang (now Changsha, Hunan) to sue for peace.

The Qin army captured Chen Ying in order to cut off the connection between Chu and Wei, so they agreed to Chu's request for peace. After Wang Ben returned to destroy the Wei state, in May, the envoy of the king of Qin also arrived in Shouchun and demanded that the state of Chu hand over the three provinces of Linyuan, Gaocai, and Lingyang west of Qingyang according to the previous agreement.

The Qin people carried the power of destroying Wei, and they did not dare to refuse, so they immediately asked people to do so.

However, things went wrong here, west of Qingyang, one of the "three households" of Chu State, the territory of the Qu family. Because of Qu Yuan's matter, the Qu clan is the most hateful branch of the Qin State in the Chu State. Although the king of Chu ordered the Qu clan to cede the west of Qingyang, the Qu clan actually disobeyed the king's order.

When the Qin people sent an envoy to receive the city, the Qu clan not only handed it over, but also killed the Qin envoy, and even led the Qu clan soldiers to counterattack to the city of Luling County, the southern county of Qin, and almost broke through the city......

After this incident, the state of Qin was furious, claiming that the state of Chu had broken the contract, and the two kingdoms of Qin and Chu, which had already returned to peace, were once again tense.

Under the order of the Nanjun Shouteng, the county guards in the southern county of Qinguo, almost all the young and strong people were mobilized to step up military training.

And the same is true on the side of Chu, in the middle of the court, the main battle faction dominated by the Xiang clan raised its head again, and strongly persuaded the king of Chu that the peace treaty had been abandoned anyway, so it was better to counterattack Qin and recover the lost territory.

Not only to recover Chen Ying, to recover Shangcai, but also to recover the land of Nanjun!

Affected by this incident, the Hades Sai, located in the western border of the Chu State, was also heavily guarded, but it forbade General Yin to enter the Qin Land without authorization, because the indecisive King of Chu still did not make up his mind.

This is what puzzled Zhong Liyi, he was not the only one who was sent to Qin Guonan County to lurk as a spy a few years ago, this was all General Xiang Yan's precautions, after finding out the truth of An Lu, Zhong Liyi returned to the Underworld to resume his life.

But Yin, the general of the Fortress of Doom, thought that he had made too much trouble, not only did he not get a reward, but he also cut Zhong Liyi's position and fell from the chief of the pawn to the two Simas. Zhong Liyi didn't complain, he only hoped that the armaments, roads, and virtual realities of the border counties that they risked their lives to enter Qin to investigate could come in handy in the counteroffensive!

However, in the face of this thorn's subordinate's request to fight, Yin, the general of the Fortress of Doom, only smiled contemptuously and made Zhong Li beat out the stick.

"The ancients Wu Lulu taught the war for seven years, served as a soldier, took Sun Tzu and Zixu as generals, ran three hundred miles and gave up, entered the path of the underworld, fought in Baiju, and then captured Yingdu in one fell swoop."

Zhong Liyi sighed to his colleagues who came to comfort him: "If the general can follow the example of the Wu army of the year, go out of the underworld, seize Sui and Tang, and then go straight to Jiangling; The sailor went west through Yunmeng, and the troops of the Qu clan went out of Qingyang, crossed the river and approached Jiangling, then Yingdu could be restored, and Nanjun could be obtained! ”

Everyone looked at each other, but they all felt that this was not something they should be asking about.

Seeing that everyone was unmoved, Zhong Liyi had to slam his fist on the wall fiercely, and said with some frustration: "How can the two ends of the first rat be in peace and uncertain?" In this way, not only will I lose the opportunity to strike first, but I am afraid that he will be controlled by the Qin State! ”

……

"The State of Qin and the State of Chu are at war again?"

At the beginning of July, after learning the news, they were already on their way home, but suddenly received an order to ask them to return to the guards who were on standby, and they immediately blew up.

When they learned that the Chu people were attacking Nanjun, everyone from the counties of Nanjun let out a burst of exclamations.

"Something happened to Nanjun!?"

"Which county did the Chu people fight?"

Fortunately, they received follow-up news later, it turned out that it was just a border friction south of the river, and there was no big fight, and the Chu people only besieged Xiaoling County, and the war did not burn their hometown Anlu.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Ji Ying smiled optimistically: "Since it's just a small conflict, maybe it will stop in a few days, and we can still go back." ”

So the only remaining worry for everyone is that after so many days of delay, they may have to miss the autumn harvest at home.

Hefu was the only one who felt that things might not be so simple, and when everyone breathed a sigh of relief again and began to look forward to the return date, he silently squeezed out of the crowd and returned to the camp to check his weapons and armor.

The sword is an old friend, it needs to be sharpened from time to time, even if it is a bronze sword, it must be rubbed with leather, if it is not used for a long time, it is easy to rust.

At this time, Leham opened the tent and walked in, just in time to see Hefu wiping his blade.

"Doctor, don't you think it's not that simple?"

Leham was the most attentive of Hauff's subordinates, and was often able to make small suggestions, and he noticed something unusual about the order to keep them on stand.

"I do feel like something is wrong."

Heifu didn't hide it, let Lixian sit down, and analyzed him: "The Qin State and the Chu State had a conflict in Nanjun, and now everyone's eyes are focused on it. It stands to reason that our soldiers from Nanjun should be dismissed as soon as possible and return to Nanjun to participate in the deployment, but the order from Chen Ying asked us to return to Chenliu County to standby......"

At present, tens of thousands of Qin troops have been asked to stop their dismissal and are stationed in Chenliu, Suiyang and other places, but the state of Chu outside the border has no sign of sending troops to attack Chen Ying and Weidi, and the two sides are only coldly confronted.

But Heff has once again smelled the smell of war......

A full-scale war, which could break out at any moment.

He faintly felt that letting the soldiers from all over the country be stationed in place, I was afraid that it was the upper echelons of the Qin State, and some people wanted to take this incident as an opportunity to launch a war against the Chu State, and the direction of the main attack at that time would be to fight from Wei to Huaibei.

Although Heifu was not engaged in history in his previous life, he also knew that the Qin State destroyed Chu and fought twice before and after. At one time, he attacked Chu with an army of 200,000 troops, but suffered a miserable defeat and lost his troops. After learning a lesson for the second time, he mobilized the whole country and sent 600,000 troops to attack Chu, and finally succeeded in destroying Chu.

It is now the twenty-second year of the reign of King Qin, and I am afraid that it is close to the first attack on Chu.

"I'm not really going to hit the first time I'm going to do it!" If that were the case, Hefu would really want to cry without tears.

Historically, Hefu himself died in the second attack on Chu, which was something he tried to avoid, and he had been trying to climb the ranks and official positions, just so that he could lead enough soldiers at that time to avoid death.

Unexpectedly, as if it was fate, he was now about to be involved in the first battle of Chu! There were casualties in the victories, and there were countless casualties in the defeats, and the thought of this sent chills down the spine of Heifu.

Of course, this is all his speculation, and the final result is still to wait for Xianyang's side, Qin Wangzheng's choice of war and peace!

After listening to Heifu's analysis, Li Xian was also taken aback, but as a grassroots Qin official, if things really developed to that point, he could only act as ordered, pick up his weapons and armor again, and go to the battlefield again......

Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. The soldiers could only complain secretly as they collected their spears.

Lixian is not as eager to go home as Dongmen Leopard, and he even feels that it is not too late to get another first-class knighthood. Unlike Heifu, he didn't know the outcome of this war, so he speculated with some excitement: "If you really want to attack Chu, will you take General Wang as the commander?" ”

Wang Qian's reputation, after the defeat of Yan and Zhao, is almost known in the Qin State, everyone says that following General Wang Lao, although not all of them have military merits, but most people can survive, because General Wang Lao is as stable as Mount Tai......

From senior officers to grassroots soldiers, they all felt in their hearts that if one day King Qin wanted to destroy Chu, Wang Jian should be the undoubted candidate for the commander.

"I hope so."

Heifu responded ambiguously, but said in his heart: "If King Qin really decides to use troops against Chu this year, the boss, I'm afraid it won't be Wang Qian." “

"It's Li Xin!"
