Chapter 170
On the vast green field, the Chu army's banners are unfurling, and the wind is buzzing.

Xiang Yu looked ahead, it was the [-] elite Qin army led by Meng Tian.

Although half of the 20 Qin army had been taken away by Zhang Han, they went to deal with Zhang Liang and Han Xin's army attacking from the left flank.

But Meng Tian's [-] Qin army has been fighting against the wolf clan at the border all the year round, and they are the elite among the elite of the imperial army today.

Although Julu was defeated by Meng Tian, ​​he still had [-] Chu troops, and Zhang Liang and Han Xin were involved, so it was fine if Meng Tian didn't divide his troops.
It has been eight years, a full eight years, and the battle of Chu State's annihilation seems to be just yesterday.

While Xiang Yu was staring, a rider came behind him.

It was a woman in strong clothes, that woman had an alluring appearance, she rode her horse to keep pace with Xiang Yu, and said in a low voice, "Young Yu."

Xiang Yu looked back, his double pupils were full of tenderness, he said: "Shi Lan, why are you here, are you also here to persuade me to avoid the war?"

The woman smiled slightly and said: "Master Fan asked me to persuade you, but I know that the decision you made will not be changed easily."

Xiang Yu said with a firm voice, "Don't worry, I will win this battle, and I will avenge Yingbu and Jibu."

"I will avenge those dead Chu soldiers!"

"Eight years ago, Meng Tian's Golden Fire Cavalry fought against me, and I lost that battle, but today, it is still unknown who will win the battle!"

Shi Lan clasped her legs, leaped lightly from the horse, and jumped directly onto Xiang Yu's mount. She leaned on Xiang Yu's back and said softly, "No matter what you decide, I will live and die with you."

……

In the spring of 214 BC, Meng Tian led [-] Qin troops and Xiang Yu led [-] Chu troops in a great battle at Gaixia.

The battle was extremely tragic, and in the end Meng Tian was slightly victorious. Xiang Yu was defeated and left, leading [-] elite cavalry to break through and flee south. When he fled to Wujiang, he was surrounded by the Golden Fire Cavalry led by Meng Tian.

Xiang Yu led [-] elite cavalry to meet Meng Tian's golden fire cavalry in hand-to-hand combat. Xiang Yu was so brave that he blocked a hundred with one, and finally died of dozens of arrows in his body.

Before he died, he also shouted, "Although I die today, the soul of my Chu army will not die!"

……

The imperial capital, Xianyang.

At the end of March, it is the time of spring.

The night wind was blowing slightly, and a full moon hung high.

Lu Fengqiu stood outside the Spring Breeze Pavilion, and Ying Zheng came from the corridor over there.

Ying Zheng said as he walked, "Mr. Qingyun, the moon is full tonight, I'm here to have three drinks with you."

Lu Fengqiu put his hands behind his back and said: "Chu Kingdom has been destroyed, Zhang Liang and Han Xinyuan fled to sea, what a pity."

Ying Zheng walked up to Lu Fengqiu's side, handed Lu Fengqiu a glass of wine, and said, "It's a pity indeed, but nothing in this world is perfect. This is what my husband told me."

Lu Fengqiu nodded slightly, raised his glass and said, "This glass of wine is for those soldiers who died. They should be the first to make great contributions to the expansion of the Great Qin."

Ying Zheng also raised his glass and said: "After this battle, the empire has passed away from serious illness. They are all the founders of our great Qin foundation, and they are all heroes."

The two drank the wine in one gulp.

Lu Fengqiu said: "Does Your Majesty still remember the agreement between you and me?"

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course I remember."

Lu Fengqiu said: "The generals will be a rare wealth in the future of Daqin, what are your majesty's plans?"

Ying Zheng said: "I decided to open a school of hundreds of schools in Sanghai, and Mr. will be the first priest of the school."

"As for whether or not the hundred schools of thought can be subdued, it depends on the master's ability."

Hearing this, Lu Fengqiu couldn't help laughing and said, "Your Majesty is really making the best use of people, but why is it in Sanghai? Not Xianyang?"

Ying Zheng said: "I have always respected the rule of law, but this time, that time."

"At that time, there were too many unstable factors within the empire, and I needed great majesty to deter those young people, but now that the remnants of the Six Kingdoms have been uprooted, it is natural to appease them."

"It's true, as Mr. said, if the world wants great governance, it needs to recuperate."

"If the Academy of Hundred Schools is located in Xianyang, these people will definitely not come here because of their fear. But if it is located in Songhai, and Songhai is far away from the vortex of power, these people will be able to accept the goodwill I throw out."

"Sanghai City is the stronghold of Confucianism. If the world returns to our Great Qin, Confucianism must be trembling."

"Zhang Liang raising his flag to rebel is giving me the best excuse."

"But I listen to Mr.'s words, and I don't want to compete with these people for a while. I have extended my life by three hundred, and I can wait."

"When the recalcitrant dies, if it doesn't work in a year, it will take five years. If it doesn't work in five years, it will take ten years. At worst, it will take 100 years. I can always convince them. "

"I want them to know that I am the real destiny."

When Lu Fengqiu heard the words, he nodded slightly and said: "Your Majesty's words should be superficial."

Ying Zheng and Lu Fengqiu toasted again and drank the Juezhong wine completely.

Ying Zheng said calmly: "Mr. is a man with great supernatural powers. If it weren't for Mr., my empire would have fallen apart. This last glass of wine is for Mr. Jing."

Lu Fengqiu said: "Your Majesty's talent is rare in ancient and modern times. The poor can only follow the trend. It's just that there is no immortal dynasty in this world. If the Great Qin wants to continue, it depends on how Your Majesty will do it."

"If Your Majesty has the heart, you might as well order people to go to various places to search for fairy trails. If you are poor and watch the stars at night, you always feel that there are many mysterious powers hidden in this world."

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Sir, have you ever heard of Canglong Qisu?"

Lu Fengqiu said: "I have heard that the Canglong Qisu refers to the seven stars, seven countries, and seven secrets. The core of the Canglong Qisu is controlled by the only heir of each country in all dynasties. It is said that who has mastered the Canglong Qisu If you keep the secret of Su, you have the power to control the world."

Ying Zheng nodded slightly, and said, "Since I ruled the world, I have been looking for the secret of the Canglong Qisu, but I have never found it."

Lu Fengqiu said: "That's why His Majesty let the Yinyang family go."

Ying Zheng said: "Eastern Emperor Taiyi must die, but the Yin Yang family cannot be destroyed."

Lu Fengqiu nodded and said: "It's a pity that Pindao didn't see Donghuang Taiyi, otherwise maybe Pindao can see something suspicious."

Ying Zheng was silent for a moment, but he said, "When are you going to leave, sir?"

Lu Fengqiu said: "Wait until the poor Taoists gather all the schools of thought."

Ying Zheng said: "Then I wish you a smooth journey, sir."

……

At the turn of spring and summer, on the coast of the East China Sea, in Sanghai City, the sky is clear and the sea breeze is blowing.

In the past, Qin destroyed the six countries, only Qi was not baptized by the flames of war and chose to surrender to Qin.

This time, Zhang Liang, the second leader of the Confucian sage Zhuang, raised his flag to rebel. After the Chu army was destroyed, Zhang Liang still did not choose to resist in a corner, but went out to sea by boat, far away from the middle land. Great Qin.

Liu Ji, the head of the Shennong Hall of the peasant family, also left with Zhang Liang.

After the collapse of the Zhang Chu regime established by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, Liu Ji thought it was his chance, and went to recruit the rest of the peasant family with great ambition. With Zhang Liang's help, he even became the new leader of the peasant family.

But the good times didn't last long. With the destruction of Xiang's army, Liu Ji's remnants of farmers and some rebels of Zhang Liang and Han Xin could not support them alone.

So in desperation, Liu Ji chose to go to sea with Zhang Liang and go far away.

The former Xiaoshengxianzhuang has now changed its gate and changed it to Baijia Xuegong.

Confucianism became one of the hundred schools of thought.

Lu Fengqiu sits in Sanghai City, negotiating with people from various schools of thought.

Finally, an agreement was reached to divide the hundred schools into large and small disciplines, and the six major schools of Taoism, Confucianism, Law, Soldiers, Agriculture, and Mohism became the six major disciplines of Xuegong.

The other hundred schools, such as strategists, famous scholars, yin and yang scholars, doctors, miscellaneous scholars, novelists, alchemists, merchants, etc., are the primary subjects of the school.

Each school must send at least one person to serve as the academic leader.

The academic leaders of Taoism are Xiaomeng and Xiaoyaozi.

The academic leaders of Confucianism are Fu Nian and Yan Lu.

The Mohists have Master Ban and Master Xu in charge.

Gao Jianli and Xuenv retired from the world and never cared about the world.

The big iron hammer died in the battle with the Qin army.

The strategist was Gai Nie, and Wei Zhuang disappeared after the Qin-Chu War.

There are the most farmers, and the six elders rotate as lecturers.

From then on, all the families belonged to Qin.

Because of the various gentle policies of the first emperor Yingzheng, coupled with the deterrence of the imperial cavalry, those who resisted the most among the hundred families could not make any big waves.

……

Time flies, and it is another spring.

The Baijia Academy has been open for more than a year, and its grand occasion is much stronger than the famous Jixia Academy back then.

Songhai City has also become one of the few big cities in the empire due to the existence of the Hundred Schools Academy, attracting countless people to come here for pilgrimage.

……

In the Hundred Schools Academy, Lu Fengqiu was explaining some matters in the academy to the imperial prince Fusu. The world was settled, and he should also retire.

Fusu is the second chief sacrificial wine of the academy.

As the crown prince of the empire, Fusu has always shouldered very important responsibilities.

Yingzheng put it in the seat of the great sacrificing wine of various schools of thought, which is enough to show his expectations for Fusu.

……

Outside Songhai City, the waves were rolling and the sky was still dark.

The tall Gai Nie was dressed in a commoner coat, and he still had the wooden sword on his waist.

Standing beside Gai Nie was Jing Tianming, who was already as tall as Gai Nie.

The two sat on the big rocks by the beach, and the sea breeze blew on their faces.

Tianming leaned his arms back and crossed his hands to hold the back of his head. He turned his head to look at Gai Nie, and said in a low voice: "Uncle, do you think that if Shaoyu saw the Sanghai City today, would he still choose the same as before?"

Gai Nie said: "The battle between Shaoyu and Yingzheng for kingship is a never-ending situation. He is different from you. On his shoulders are the dead souls of Chu and the expectations of the old Jiangdong elders, so he cannot retreat. , he doesn’t want to retreat either.”

"A real man would rather die standing up than live on his knees."

Tianming heard the words, for some reason, his eyes suddenly blurred, he seemed to see the high-spirited Shaoyu back then. I will never see that Shaoyu who called him the kid again.

"Uncle, I want to leave Sanghai, I want to go with Yue'er to see how big this world really is."

Gai Nie nodded slightly when he heard the words, and said: "When the young eagle grows up, it must learn to fly by itself. Go, Mr. Qingyun once said that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Uncle will wait for you in Songhai City .”

Tianming scratched his head, grinned and said, "Uncle, when I come back next time, will you and Sister Rong have a child of your own?"

When Gai Nie heard the words, he smiled lightly and didn't answer.

Tianming stood up and jumped several feet away.

Ge Nie suddenly opened his mouth and shouted: "Tianming."

Tianming turned back with the Momei sword on his shoulder and said, "Uncle, what's the matter?"

Ge Nie stood up, looked at the rising sun on the sea level, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, go, have a good trip."

Tianming turned around, waved his back to Gai Nie, and said loudly, "Uncle, give birth to a precious son soon."

Under the rising sun, Gai Nie looked at Tianming's elongated back, silently.

Lu Fengqiu quietly appeared beside Gai Nie, and said, "Mr. Gai, it's dawn, and it's your turn to teach today."

Gai Nie turned his head, nodded and sighed: "The long night will finally come to an end, and the night will come to an end, I never thought it would end like this."

Lu Fengqiu smiled and said, "What's the ending?"

Gai Nie looked into the distance and said, "Not bad."
