Qiang Qin

Life has its twists and turns.

Sometimes the waves are turbulent, and sometimes the waves are calm.

For Xiao He, who has experienced ups and downs in his life, Chengdu is a city that soothes his wounds and calms his mind.

On this piece of land in Shu County, under the cover of the big black banner of Qin State, Xiao He and Li Shang walked side by side on the lane by the Jinshui River. No, all that is left is a deep sigh for this ever-changing era.

"I heard that the son of the king of Han was exiled to the south, and I don't know what happened? Do you have any news?" Xiao He shook his white hair and asked with a sigh.

There was a wry smile on Li Shang's face: "Xiao Xiang, why do you bother with this? Over the years, Liu Ji is not the only one whose descendants have been living abroad. There are some things we'd better not ask, even if we ask clearly , so what?" Unlike Xiao He, who had been friends with Liu Bang since childhood, Li Shang had taken everything lightly over the years.

What about Liu Bang's son?

Those generals who went to the west, such as Cao Can and Wangling, after they died in battle, how did their family members receive any care? Moreover, Liu Bang was still the King of Han at that time, and he still had the financial resources to pull out money and silk to comfort these generals. The legacy of an old brother who worked hard for himself, but did he do this?

The answer is no.

On the contrary, let’s look at what Li Yuan did in Qin State, the mausoleum tower on the high hill in Chang’an City, and the school for raising orphans without parents and relatives opened in the old city of Xianyang. It is self-evident to be convincing.

Of course, these are all past tense.

Liu Bang is dead, and it is immoral to slander an old man.

Xiao He was persuaded by Li Shang, and his mood gradually changed. After a while, he showed his face and said, "Speaking of an old friend, Mr. Li. I met an acquaintance in the Qingcheng Mountain area a few days ago. Guess who it is?" ?”

Li Shang thought for a while, then shook his head in doubt and said, "The people you and I know are all scattered. After all these years, there are only a few who are still alive. Shang really can't guess?"

Xiao He smiled mysteriously and said, "His surname is Zhang——!"

"Zhang Liang, Zifang, where is he?" Li Shang asked in surprise.

For Zhang Liang, the old troops of the Han army like Xiao He and Li Shang.It is a familiar name that can no longer be familiar. If Liu Bang is the spiritual leader of the Western Expeditionary Army, then Zhang Liang is a think tank like the Taishang Laojun who assisted the leader. The scene of the county stationed in Xianyang and fighting with Xiang Yu at Hongmen all left behind the shadow of Zhang Liang making plans.

"Zifang has entered the Taoist gate in Qingcheng Mountain. The Taoist name is Yuhuazi. If you are free someday, you can go to the Taixu Temple on the back mountain of Qingcheng and ask." Xiao He replied.

Zhang Liang entered the Tao.

This result made Li Shang and Xiao He boo.Fortunately, Li Yuan had a tolerant personality. Even if he was assassinated repeatedly, he didn't intend to vent his anger on those anti-Qin old minions. Otherwise, as soon as Zhang Liang's identity as a Korean descendant was revealed, he would be sent to prison immediately.

"Also. Brother Cao Shen's wife and widow have already been placed in Jinli. Mrs. Cao said that she just wants to live a peaceful and peaceful life. She doesn't want to be disturbed, so, Mr. Li, just rest assured and don't have to worry about it anymore." Let's go find it." Xiao He thought for a while and said again.

After a bang.

It is a peaceful life. This may not be what heroes and heroes desire, but it is what ordinary women and children desire most.

——.

end of september.

At the same time that the Qin Expeditionary Army set off from Shu, the three Qin armies from the left, middle and right also advanced side by side, officially kicking off the prelude to the second stage of the offensive.

Lin Shenhe defends the city alone.

The bare rod crossing Renshi, led the people of Lingling City to fight against the invasion of Yue'ou people with fearless revolutionary optimism for seventeen days.

During this period, the Changsha soldiers, a unit that has always been looked down upon, under the belief and call of defending the country, went on and on, sacrificing their lives, and staged scenes of touching battlefield scenes.

September [-]th.

Lingling City fell, and Lin Shenhe was seriously injured in the battle to guard the south city gate, and finally died in the line of duty. When he swallowed his last breath, this famous forum military theorist was still chanting, "How could the Qin army return to China?" didn't come."

The Changsha soldiers were wiped out.

Mei Juan, who lost more than 5 people in the siege battle, was furious and plundered the whole city. For a while, Lingling City, a medium-sized city in Yuanshui with a population of nearly [-], became a hell on earth. .

——.

On Yuanshui.

The fleet of Feng Xuan and Chen Xi arrived in Wuling, which was about a hundred miles away from Lingling City.

Wuling is the Changde City of later generations, and it belonged to Qianzhong County in ancient times. It is the hub connecting Ba County, Qianzhong County, and Changsha County, and it is also an important traffic route for marching into Lingling.

The news of Lin Shenhe's defeat and death made Feng Xuan hiss for a while. This sudden and arrogant Changsha Military Academy Lieutenant, like a shooting star, pierced the sky of this era, flashing the most dazzling After the light, it disappeared without a trace.

The brutality of the Meiyue people caused the people in the south of Changsha County to flee to the north. At this time, the Qin army on the West Road was going up the Yuanshui River and saw the Qin army's banner. In front of him, he finally showed an attitude of recognition and acceptance.

Facing the Qin army who was reaping the benefits, Mei Juan, who was already exhausted, ordered to retreat in desperation.However, the Xiou people, who were their allies, no longer obeyed Mei Juan's orders.Among the Baiyue tribes, the Ou people live in the deep mountains and high mountains. They are the most primitive and brutal, and their economic development is the slowest.Now that they finally had the opportunity to reach the flat ground to rob, how could they be willing to go back like this.

The Ou people who were plundering northward encountered a large army of the Qin army in the Zhaoling area. As a result, a great battle broke out. He fled into the mountains and forests, and the rest were killed and captured by Feng Xuan and Chen Xijun.

It was not easy for Chen Xi to go to the battlefield, and under the agitated mood, he went directly to the vanguard of Man Qiuchen. Man Qiuchen was originally a disciple of Chen Xi, so naturally he dared not neglect this old boss. place.What made Man Qiuchen even more nervous was that he, who originally wanted to kill, had no choice but to stand by Chen Xi's side to protect his safety.

The Ou people were defeated.

The Qin army broke through the situation all the way, regained Lingling, and then rushed up quickly, approaching Pangyi. Mei Juan was alone, and after a little resistance, he led his troops to retreat back to Wuling.At this point, under the second phase of the offensive of the Qin Army on the West Road, Mei Juan lost the territory he managed to expand again.

——.

In Shu County, Jinshui is rushing.

The morning mist has not completely dissipated.

The Qin Army's [-] expeditionary force advanced by land and water, and set off to the south of the unknown river.In addition to the expedition to Lingnan, their line of work also shouldered the important task of sweeping away the anti-Qin forces in Guizhou, Yunnan, Guangxi and other places, and spreading the majesty of the upper kingdom from the north.Wang Shang, Li Shang, Yang Yu, and Wang Changgong stood on the deck of the ship, and Li Yuan and other officials who came to see them off bid farewell.

Watching the teams of Qin soldiers go away, Li Yuan was filled with infinite pride. The territory of the Great Qin was expanding with the pace of the expeditionary army. It also only stays in the north of the Bashu River. For the Guizhou and Yunnan areas in the south, it is more commensurate with Nanman.

Yelang country.

Composed of large and small Yelang and Xiaofang countries, the Luoju tribe ruled this slavery alliance country in the Qin Dynasty. This tribe established its capital in Yuqilan.

Qilan is located at the foot of Tianma Mountain in Guizhou. The land is rich in bamboo. Yelang people live in bamboo buildings and live on hunting, fishing and primitive slash-and-burn farming. With the increasing exchanges between them, precious materials such as goji sauce and brocade forging from Sichuan gradually flowed into Yelang, and rare products such as ivory and gemstones from Ziqi (now the Indian Peninsula) were also introduced to the north.

Wang Shang's army went all the way south. After a short rest in Jiangzhou, they went up from Wujiang River and went straight to Yangshan Pass at the junction of Yelang and Nanyue.

When the Qin army passed by Qilan, the king of Yelang, Zuo Luoju, brought the monarchs of the other kingdoms to greet him. For the Yelang kingdom, Qin was their biggest trade partner and a big country that made them rich. If the ruler road is not opened, even if they have the best things, they will not be able to transport them to the north.

Yangshan Pass.

Zhao Guang, king of Cangwu, was as anxious as an ant. The news of the Qin army's aggressive invasion by Yelang made him panic instantly. Compared, it is really nothing.

"What did King Wu say, when will the reinforcements come?" Zhao Guang repeatedly asked the envoy who had returned from Nanhai County.

"My lord, King Wu said that if we are required to hold on to Yangshan Pass for ten days, the reinforcements will have to be transferred from the Longchuan area, and it will be impossible to arrive in a short while." The confidant reported.

"What, ten days, did you say that the Qin army has more than 2000 troops this time, and the total strength of my troops in Cangwu, Guilin is less than [-]?" Zhao Guang exclaimed.

"I said it, but King Wu said that the troops from the west of Xiang County and Nanhai County have been transferred to the Wuling area, and they can't come back. The Qin army's attack there is so fierce that the Meiyue people can't resist it. So, I hope the prince will understand the difficulties?"

"Mei Yue is difficult, but Lao Tzu is not difficult. Who is this brother? Is it Mei Juan, the guy who eats inside and outside?" Zhao Guang was furious.

Facing Zhao Guang's anger, the cronies bowed their heads and dared not answer.

This time, the Qin army unexpectedly marched eastward from Yelang Kingdom, which completely disrupted the military defense deployment of Nanyue Kingdom. After Mitsukoshi reached an anti-Qin strategic alliance, Zhao Tuo stepped up to cleanse the pro-Qin elements in the army, and at the same time dispatched troops. Stationed in Wuling, Fujian and Yue, united with Meijuan and Wuzhutong to resist the three-way Qin army on the frontal battlefield. (To be continued..)
