A few days after the Battle of Jinnanshui, Wei Yang's fleet returned to Nanning with wounded soldiers, prisoners, and booty, where Heifu was looking forward to it.

Han Xin's way of reporting to Heifu was very unique, with dozens of tusks and a severed trunk.

Needless to say, ivory is a precious thing, the court is often decorated, but fresh elephant trunks are rare, with the change of the environment, the elephant in the north of the Qinling Mountains of the Huai River has become extinct.

"Han Sima said, this elephant trunk and the lips of the orangutan, the burn of the badger and the badger, etc., are one of the eight treasures, and they are all the beauty of meat, so let us cut off the trunk of the Locke war elephant, and send it back quickly, and invite the prince and the prison army to eat it......"

Ziying, who was originally ordered to go back to Xianyang to report on Heifu's Minyue and Nanyue affairs, also went to Luliangdi in Lingnan again after the scorching heat was over, exercising the duties of supervising the army, and was also standing next to Heifu at this moment.

Heifu clapped his hands and praised: "Defeat Ou Luo in a battle, behead more than 10,000 people, the great humiliation of the snow front division, and make great achievements, Wei Yang, you and Han Xin have done a good job!" ”

A stone fell to the ground in his heart, Han Xin's debut was not bad, although he knew that he was holding the orange card of Zhang Shenjiang in his hand, but he still had to go through actual combat to raise the star to full.

Heifu was very satisfied with Han Xin's results, but he didn't plan to eat the elephant trunk sent back.

Elephant meat is not easy to cook, but the nose is a rare ingredient. Because elephants move slowly, most of them use their trunks to carry out activities, and the trunk is the part of the elephant that moves up and down the body most frequently, so the muscle tissue in this part is very flexible, and people who have eaten it say that it tastes good when cooked.

But Heifu still refused:

"Who knows what elephants have done with this long trunk?"

So he was very generous and asked the captains and soldiers of Dongmen Leopard to divide the elephant trunk.

However, after returning to the shogunate's tent, he grew up in the court since he was a child, and after eating countless Eight Treasures Banquets, he told Heifu: "In fact, one of the Eight Treasures, the elephant is not the real elephant, but the elephant trunk fish ......."

"I see."

Heifu sighed, it seems that Han Xin still suffers from the loss of culture.

Actually, he didn't know.

However, even if it is really "elephant pull", the child does not have half an appetite, first, since he contracted schistosomiasis more than a year ago, after treatment, the obvious symptoms disappeared, but failed to remove the roots, the thought of the stomach still worms eating his flesh and blood, laying eggs to be fed, he felt nauseous.

Secondly, when he returned to Xianyang some time ago, Ziying reported the situation of the Southern Corps to Qin Shi Huang, and His Majesty the Emperor was very satisfied with Heifu's rapid improvement of the morale of the Southern Army and the sweep of Minyue and Nanyue.

Qin Shi Huang just let Ziying come back, and once again emphasized to Heifu:

"Before the end of the thirty-sixth year, march to the north to the house, do not forget your oath!"

Ziying had no choice but to make a bitter face and drag the sick body to continue to run on the road.

Fortunately, as soon as I came to Nanning, I learned of the good news ahead, Han Xin had completely defeated the Luo people and Ouren, the last alliance of Baiyue collapsed, scattered and fled, and then went all the way to the south, to the legendary "gateway to the north" of the north to the household, it was only a matter of time.

But to Ziying's surprise, Heifu gave Han Xin an order to "stay on the spot".

"Chang Nan Hou."

When there were only the two of them, Ziying couldn't help but complain: "The prince doesn't lead Han Sima to go south quickly, why stop and do?" ”

"Of course, it's to collect the corpses of the thousands of dead soldiers."

Heif's answer was a matter of course, as if it was more important than satisfying the emperor's fiefdom.

Ziying was so anxious that she stomped her feet: "It's late August now, and there is only one month to leave the end of the year, if you don't take Luo Renxingsan to the north, Junhou, how will you give your majesty an account at that time?" ”

"Don't worry."

Heifu asked him to sit down and said with a smile: "Actually, we have already arrived at the North Direction House......

"Huh?"

Ziying was a little confused, and the people in the court agreed that the northbound household was in Luliangdi, that is, further south of the Lingnan region, and according to some Chu people who went deep into the area, the sun rose from the north there, so the local residents opened their windows to the north to accept the yang, contrary to the Central Plains......

"Actually, the northbound household is not the name of a small place, but a large area ......"

Heifu had no choice but to briefly tell Ziying about the geographical knowledge he had discussed with Xu Fu, the best astronomer and geographer of our time, a few months ago.

"Xu Fu told me that the shortest day is the winter solstice, and the longest day is the summer solstice. The reason for this is that the winter solstice travels far and the summer solstice travels short......"

This is a law that the Chinese have long summed up, written in the calendar, the summer solstice day is the day of the approach, and the line that shoots directly is the Tropic of Cancer.

This line passes through the forest, Cangwu, and Panyu, Nanning are in its south, here in a year, the sun in the sky slightly north time, but only a dozen days, the so-called "northward household", in fact, because the temperature is too high, not only do not have to rely on sunlight to raise the room temperature, but need to focus on avoiding the sun, so the house is reversed, the Central Plains people do not know the local language, take it for granted......

Heifu explained to Ziying, and on the way back to Yulin, he pointed to the Yueren Lushe along the Yushui and the gateway facing north as evidence, and finally convinced Ziying that they were already in the north.

"But my majesty probably won't accept this statement."

But Ziying is still worried, when he returned to Xianyang, he heard that last year, the countries of the Northern Western Regions did not allow the Qin army to go to Daxia by the way, His Majesty was furious, in the spring of the 36th year, pardoned the prisoners and prisoners, sent evil teenagers and side horses, gathered 60,000 soldiers and civilians, and 10,000 cattle, 30,000 horses, donkeys, mules and tens of thousands of grain, with Li Xin out of the Yumen Pass, west attack the states of the Western Regions......

For a time, the horses of Longxi and Hexi were empty, and now, even Guanzhong also soared in food prices, and on the other hand, the emperor also ordered to speed up the construction of Lishan Mausoleum.

Seeing that the emperor's uncle was stubborn to such an extent, Ziying was afraid that the Marquis of Changnan would not be able to complete the task and would burden himself, so where would he dare to argue with Qin Shihuang about the true meaning of "north-facing households"?

"Rest assured."

Heifu was confident and said: "Although the real north-facing household area is vast, as long as we reach its southernmost point, leave the garrison, recruit barbarians, and make it the rule of Qin County, in this way, we can also take all the north-facing households, and naturally we can make a difference to Your Majesty." ”

It was only then that Heifu told Ziying where Xu Fu was.

"I asked Xu Fu and others, with some boat masters, to leave Panyu, explore the coast, and found that in the south of the South China Sea, there is a large island, which is the end of the Lingnan Luliang Land, named 'Pearl Cliff', and the prison army can return to Your Majesty like this, where it is the north to the house, and it is the end of the world!"

For China, the past ten years are undoubtedly the era of geographical discovery, southeast and northwest, countless areas that only exist in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and "The Biography of Mu Tianzi" have been discovered by merchants, envoys, and armies one by one, and a large number of new place names have increased.

Since Columbus was able to describe the Americas as "India", it is not unreasonable for Heff, as the discoverer, to describe Hainan Island as a "northward household".

Or else? He really wants Han Xin to take someone to Southeast Asia? There is no way to go in many places, four or five thousand when you go, and when you come back, I am afraid that there will only be one thousand left...... In short, let's fool the emperor first.

Ziying was shocked: "From the sea to set up a county? Won't this ...... Does it really live up to its name? ”

Heifu spread his hands: "Your Majesty said that we must reach Beixianghu by land?" ”

Ziying recalled every word Qin Shi Huang said when he met him, and after carefully brushing it out, he shook his head: "I didn't say it......"

"Isn't this okay, Ben Hou was ordered by His Majesty to help Gongzi help Su Canghai Jun, and he also relied on sea boats, and the places where sea ships arrived were all the land of Daqin, and this time it was the same."

Heifu arched his hand to the north: "Afterwards, I will go up to Your Majesty, the great Qin, should not use the sea as a wall, but should take the sea as the road and the sea as the frontier!" Your Majesty's country not only has the East China Sea in the east, but now there is the South China Sea in the south! ”

……

At the same time, hundreds of miles southwest of Panyu, the fleet of the Qin army had crossed the short Qiongzhou Strait and arrived at "Zhuya Island", where it was anchored in a harbor in the northwest of the island.

"Even the farthest businessmen have never been here, and the South Vietnamese have never set foot here, how did the Marquis of Chang Nan know that there is an island here?"

Xu Fu was full of suspicion, he at first thought it was a new vast land, until several ships ordered to explore the way circled around it, proving that it was indeed an island.

In this way, Xu Fu's awe of Heifu has increased a little more, whether it is Fusang Island in the southeast of Sanhan, Yizhou Island in the east of Minyue, or Zhuya Island in front of him, all of them were said by Changnan Hou one by one.

Fusang Island was mentioned by Xu Fu when he was looking for immortals at sea, but the last two islands were too far away from him to know.

One time is fine, but three times in a row, in Xu Fu's eyes, Heifu really has the ability of ghosts and gods.

Compared with his supernatural powers, their magicians' half-truths and half-truths are really carving insect skills!

However, this island is really wild in Xu Fu's eyes, full of coconut trees, dense forests, sandy beaches, seabirds, black reef cliffs, it is almost late autumn, the sun is still very hot, the sun is so hot that the people of the Qin military building ship are peeling, the sea breeze is still strong, and Xu Fu, who loves the sea, does not easily want to get out of the cabin.

"Nanfu is wasted, and it's not worth a penny."

Xu Fu made up his mind, not knowing that more than 2,000 years later, people from all over the country would flock here to buy a house.

When the fleet anchored in the northwest of the island to avoid the waves, it occasionally saw a few tattooed and naked wild people, whose language was so different from that of the South Vietnamese that it was impossible to communicate at all. However, they also have no headhunting vices, they have a docile personality, and they are not afraid to see the Qin people, the whole tribe came to the beach to stare wide-eyed, and finally saw the huge building ship, eighty percent regarded them as gods, and actually prostrated and worshipped......

After the Qin soldiers went ashore to explore, they found that the terrain here was gentle, except for the sand and soil by the sea, there were also some freshwater streams in the interior, which could be used to grow rice.

Xu Fu discussed with several captains of the building, and finally decided, why don't you leave the garrison here?

Leaving troops in this place where birds don't is, of course, unprofitable, and is entirely to satisfy Qin Shi Huang's territorial desire to "end in the south and in the north".

At this time, Xu Fu remembered something, so he returned to the cabin and carefully took out a ...... from the small box on the wall of the ship Tips.

This was secretly granted by the Marquis of Changnan a few months ago when they left......

"Prepare to garrison the county before opening." This was Heifu's instructions, and he stuffed it into Xu Fu's hand, with a playful smile on his face.

I thought it was some confidential matter, or even a plan to seize power against Ren Huan, but after opening it, Xu Fu was shocked.

"After arriving on the island, no matter where you decide to set up a county, you will make five hundred people settle in, no one more, no less one, the name of the county 'Lingao', remember!"

"Lingao?"

What does this mean, Xu Fu was a little stunned, look at the terrain here, except for the cliffs by the sea, it is not high!

But the more mysterious Changnanhou was, the more frightened Xu Fu became, and he looked at it a few times, and finally suddenly realized.

"Isn't this a kind of earthly matching?"

The so-called art of the land is related to the location of the capital, palaces, residences, villages, cemeteries, and the direction of the study, the founder is Zhou Gongdan, he was the king of Zhou Wu, Bu Jian Shuidong, Xishui Xi, but Luo De auspicious omen, and finally chose Luoyang as the eastern capital.

For hundreds of years, those who mastered this science served the government, choosing mausoleums and palaces for the king, looking for good soil veins for the benefit of their descendants.

Yin and Yang Fangshi are also proficient in this way, and Xu Fuzi is no exception.

He remembered that in addition to building public toilets and Shi Tuntian, Changnanhou also had a big hobby, that is, naming the occupied Xinjiang soil.

From the original Nanchang, to Fuping County at the eastern foot of Helan Mountain, Hancheng in Haidong, and even Nanning, Zhuya, and finally Lingao!

The reason why the Marquis of Changnan was able to become a prince from the head of Qian, and knew astronomy and geography, and knew things like a god, may be related to these place names! Eighty percent was guided by the masters, calculated the five elements of yin and yang, named the new city in the southeast and northwest, and finally connected it into gossip, creating a steady stream of fortunes......

"It must be so! This is the secret of Chang Nam Hou! ”

Xu Fu was extremely excited, and immediately took out a pen and paper, wrote down these place names one by one according to the directions, and calculated them with the Yin and Yang Technique, while thinking:

"If I can calculate it, I will be able to know the lifeblood of Chang Nanhou, pinch his seven inches, break his fortune, and then escape far away, no longer have to be like a caged bird, listen to his command, panic all day long!"

But after calculating, Xu Fu frowned.

What a mess! The directions and hexagrams he calculated based on these place names are extremely confusing and confusing.

After a day of tossing, Xu Fu was deflated and thought in frustration:

"It seems that with my meager wisdom, I still can't crack this supreme magic technique......"

He turned to worry about whether his repeated heart would have been pinched and noticed by the Marquis of Changnan!

Xu Fu immediately put this bag away carefully, and even put on the pillar incense, and repeatedly made a fool of himself.

"Changnanhou, don't get me wrong, the villain is just curious, and he has no rebellious intentions!"

It's a pity that Xu Fu doesn't understand this stalk. He didn't know that Heifu's secret was really hidden in the sentence on the bag:

"I'm a traverser!"

……

The next day, Xu Fu arranged for all the people of the building and ship to draw lots, and the 500 people who caught the black lot stayed here for a year, as a garrison, and also issued a letter of Changnan Hou to an unlucky 500 lord.

He said in an official tone: "From today on, you are the fake order of Lingao County, which belongs to the newly established Nanhai County, and when the seal is made, it will be sent." ”

Later, under the sad eyes of five hundred people, Xu Fuhe and the fleet left this place and sailed to the peninsula to the north, he wanted to return to Panyu as soon as possible to report to the Marquis of Changnan: "The territory of Great Qin has reached the south and the north!" ”

And Heifu is also good to make a deal to Xianyang.

That night, the fleet had arrived on the peninsula and anchored for the night.

Xu Fu couldn't help it, and when he was calculating the names of various places named by Heifu on the ship for a long time, he still had no clue, and in his irritability, he put on his clothes and walked to the deck to look up at the stars......

There is no moon tonight, no clouds, the field of vision is extremely empty, and the night sky as deep as the sea, without the lights of the city and the world, Xu Fuke can take in a whole galaxy of stars.

But even if Xu Fu could easily name the names of the main stars and constellations: Ziwei, Yingfu, and Antares, he couldn't count the countless stars like grains of sand.

"My life has an end, and there is no end to knowledge. With an end, there is no end, and it is gone! ”

Xu Fu had an epiphany and remembered this sentence in Zhuangzi, which was like although he was proficient in the earth, he couldn't understand the mystical number linked to the place name, and he couldn't crack the secret of Changnanhou.

Anyway, it's not easy for the grasshopper to shake the tree, and there is no struggle.

But just as Xu Fu was about to go back to sleep, a strange star attracted his attention.

There is a red star that has deviated from where it should be, but has moved to a star that should never go!

Xu Fu was a little surprised, and hurriedly ran to the cabin, washed his cold water face, and then came out to take a closer look, and was even more shocked.

Those four words, the four words that were taboo for the heavenly officials of the past dynasties, blurted out:

"Glowing and Guarding!"
