Qin Dynasty Novelist

"Father, from here...to here, most of the fiefdoms north of the river belong to the big family headed by Qu Zhaojing, and there are also some small families attached to them."

"Previously the king ordered my father to lead [-] elite soldiers to exterminate Xiong Han and others. The first suggestion was Ling Yin, and then the left and right Sima. The king didn't respond directly, but postponed it because of the struggle between Qin and Zhao."

"I thought that at that time the king might not have had such thoughts in his mind. He wanted to use the power of Xiong Han and others to weaken the strength of Qu Zhaojing and other families, so as to monopolize the power and revive the court."

Xiang Liang turned his body slightly, pointed to the sand table beside his father with one hand, moved from the Dongting beside the river in the ancestral land of Chu State, and continued southward along the river until the Jiangdong land where Xiang's family lived.

Nuo Da's land is all privately owned by the aristocratic clans. Those old aristocratic clans have all kinds of privileges in their fiefdoms, and even have their own private soldiers. Otherwise, it is impossible to hold important positions in the government all the time.

The foundation of Qu Zhaojing and other big families in Chu was too strong. Thirty years ago, although there was a rebellion by Zhuang Ji, the roots of the family were not harmed. In addition, for the sake of the Xiang family, his father took on the heavy responsibility that should have been borne by the family fiefdom.

"Hahaha."

"My son can think of this, and the father is very pleased."

"But... Your Majesty has just been established, and all powers are still in the hands of those people. Therefore, it is impossible to end the battle to wipe out Xiong Han, Li Yuan and others. However, you are right about one thing, that is, Your Majesty the meaning of."

Xiang Yan smiled brightly, she had four sons, two of them were fond of literary affairs, and the other two were fond of martial arts. Now Xiang Liang is the one who wins his heart the most, and it is already very good that he can think of that.

"But, father... Zhao Guo really can't do anything right now!"

Xiang Liang nodded for it, and then his expression changed again.

"The State of Zhao.... This time, the State of Qin dispatched more than [-] troops from the Lantian Camp, more than [-] troops from the Outer Camp, and about [-] troops from Sanchuan County, Yingchuan County, and Nanyang County."

"Unless Chu State spares no efforts to help Zhao State, otherwise... Zhao State will not survive this calamity!"

Xiang Yan sighed deeply. Compared with his son, he has a better understanding of the Zhuxia and Shandong kingdoms in the past decades. Zhao Guo...is really hopeless.

In Handan, Zhao Wangqian is incompetent, and the treacherous minister Guo Kai acts recklessly. With such a monarch and minister in the country, even with the help of Chu State, he can avoid Qin State for a while, what next?

This time, the state of Qin is all about attacking the state of Zhao and the land of Nanyang. Ye Teng and Chen Bing of Nanyang are guarding the border of the state of Chu to deter the state of Chu. It is not the former Chu State.

"Over Qi State, the little Confucian sage Zhuang made a move, and hundreds of families could not retreat. It is impossible for Qi State to help. It is rumored that Yan State will attack Zhao. The power of Wei State is really weak."

Following what he said earlier, Xiang Yan continued to say that in order to successfully conquer Zhao, Qin had already paid a huge price, if he really led elite soldiers to rescue Zhao.

I'm afraid, as soon as I left, Xiong Han and others crossed the river in the south of the Yangtze River. With the presence of Ye Teng and Bashu's army in Nanyang, the state of Chu would be in danger.

"Father, what do you think?"

For a while, Xiang Liang also fell into a shallow silence, not knowing how to continue.

Originally, there was still a clear idea in my mind, but my father's words completely messed it up. Yes, even if Zhao Guo was rescued, Zhao Guo couldn't compete with Qin State?

At that time, Zhao State was destroyed, and Chu State was attacked by enemies. The situation was even worse than it is now.

"Chu, a great country in the Warring States Period!"

"Be strong enough to protect yourself!"

Xiang Yan gave Xiang Liang an affirmative response.

The only one who can destroy the state of Chu is the state of Chu itself, not even the state of Qin. In terms of the vastness of the mountains and rivers, the state of Chu is not weaker than the state of Qin. .

"Father, although Chu is a big country, its power... is scattered in many places!"

Xiang Liang understands his father's intentions, but... Chu State is no match for Qin State, and all the power of Qin State is in the hands of King Qin Yingzheng.

After all, Chu State has too many things to do.

"More than a hundred years ago, when Gongsun Martingale entered Qin, the power of Qin was also scattered. Chu wanted to be strong, but it was unwise to ask Zhao to be in front of it. It is unwise to ignore Qin's power without Chu's own strength. "

Xiang Yan smiled slightly, she naturally knew where the patients in Chu State were.

"Father, do you... have a way to join forces?"

Quietly, Xiang Liang's heart moved. Looking at his father's expression, he seemed to have thought of something, and there was a hint of disbelief on his face. Sure enough, Chu State could gather scattered forces like Qin State.

The strength of the Chu State is ten or a hundred times greater than what it is now.

"no!"

Xiang Yan shook her head.

"Anyone else has?"

"When Xiong Han was the king of Chu, the strategist beside him, Cang Zhu, had a plan called Tween. It's a pity that the plan has not yet been launched, and Xiong Han is like this."

"Your Majesty is very lucky to have it. After a while, you should know."

"By the way, Uncle Xiang went to pick up my son, why hasn't he come back yet?"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The young master ascended the throne and became the king of Chu. He bestowed Xiang Yan as the great Sima of the Chu State, led the Zhu State, and lived in the land of Jiangdong forever.

This was the price that Xiang Chu had paid before, and the land of Jiangdong had become a complete fiefdom of the Xiang clan.

However, if you want to truly establish the foundation of the Xiang clan in the Chu state, there are not enough branches of the clan, and people from Jiangdong can enter the Chu state's court and opposition, and it is absolutely impossible to succeed. Big county.

The same is true!

"It should be soon. According to what the person sent by my brother said, the group of them will stay in Chao County, and then come to visit my father."

Xiang Liang smiled slightly when he heard this. Ji'er is the third generation descendant of the Xiang family. Not surprisingly, he will become the successor of the Xiang family's power in the Chu Dynasty in the future.

Moreover, judging from the Dao Dao documents passed down by his elder brother, his nephew should be born to be a general, born with supernatural power, although he is only about five years old now, his strength is comparable to that of an adult.
