"After the Xianyang Incident, my junior sister and I stayed in Chu to recover from our injuries."
"I have heard the name of Chu State's Great Sima many times. For decades, he has made great achievements in military campaigns in the south and north. He can be regarded as a pillar figure who stabilizes the overall situation of Chu State."
"It's a great honor to meet you today."
A group of more than ten people were standing on the main road of the horse-riding military camp, with uniformly shaped tents on both sides. At the end of the hour, the military camp was much quieter. Despite this, a large number of soldiers could still be seen exercising in each school field.
Can Jian saw this and admired it.
"Ha ha."
"Everything is due to the great king's trust. As people of Chu, and more importantly, as members of the army of the Chu State, we naturally have the responsibility to protect our subjects and the king."
Xiang Liang was overjoyed.
Of course, there is no need to elaborate on my father's current status in the Chu Kingdom. He was granted the title of Grand Sima, Shangzhu Kingdom, and was in charge of the Chu Kingdom's military forces. This already explains everything.
The Xiang family, who were born in Jiangdong, are now qualified enough to stand alongside Qu Zhaojing and others. Perhaps they are not strong enough to compete with them in the temple.
But above the military, that is the territory of their Xiang clan. Especially in such a situation of internal and external troubles, there is no need to say more about the status of the Xiang clan.
Every year, the king has a large number of rewards falling, showing everything.
"What kind of army is this? It's so elite, so different from what I saw before."
"With Broken Sword's eyes, the only people in the Xia Dynasty who can compare with him are the military soldiers of the Wei State and the elite soldiers of the Qin Army."
After marching for a long time, Broken Sword pointed in the air with one hand to a certain area beside him, where the flag was fluttering, the name of Chu stood high, the flag of red flames, and the word "dragon" hung high.
On the school field, groups of muscular men with bare upper bodies were colliding with each other, fighting, and exercising.
Not only that, from passing through this area, it can be seen that both the layout of the camp and the level of the patrolling soldiers are much better than before.
That's why, I'm curious.
"Haha, the Tenglong Legion led by General Long Ye is training there. Da Sima attaches great importance to it."
Xiang Liang didn't say much, he just smiled.
Among the four legions that my father has trained in recent years, the Tenglong Legion ranks first. Whether it is the supply of military goods or the supply of food, grass and baggage, it is first-rate.
Since last year, my father has been testing the training method of soldiers from the National Protectorate Academy in the Tenglong Legion, and the results are quite good.
As for the combat power, I think that the newly trained Wei soldiers are not weaker than the Wei generals, nor are they weaker than the Qin army's iron-blooded warriors who have fought many battles.
"That's the Tenglong Legion!"
"It's really extraordinary. Can Jian lives in Lanling and often hears about this powerful army. Today's sighting makes it even better than the rumors."
After receiving a positive response, Can Jian took another look at the training place.
According to the farmer's information, the Tenglong Legion is the direct descendant of Xiang Yan and is the best in everything. Even many generals and soldiers within it are from Jiangdong.
The establishment is even more elite: 100,000 people!
Although there were not many, Wu Qi used tens of thousands of elite Wei warriors to defeat the Qin army that was ten times his size, and became famous in the Xia Dynasty. It was not because of the number of soldiers, but because of the elite.
As a famous general in the world, Xiang Yan should naturally know this truth.
As expected, with Xiang Yan's dispatch and the elite soldiers under his command, the combat power can be imagined.
It's just that... the Qin army is now full of famous generals, and among the young men, there are also stars like clouds. In my opinion, General Wang Jian is also a veteran general who is not inferior to Xiang Yan.
Not to mention, Wang Jian had been supported by Bai Qi, Lord Wu'an of the Qin State, and by the veteran General Meng Ao of the Qin State. Together with the heads of the two families, he formed his own line and fought steadily without any impulsiveness.
This is how the battle to destroy Zhao was, with very few casualties, the country of Zhao was destroyed!
Now that Yan is being destroyed, it should be the same.
"Haha, please!"
"Is this the descendant of the Broken Sword Knight?"
Xiang Liang looked overjoyed. Naturally, they also evaluated the combat power of the Tenglong Legion. Not only was he the best among all the Xia soldiers, he was definitely not inferior to the Qin cavalry who were currently in the limelight.
As he spoke, the speed of the horse did not slow down. He raised one hand and pointed at the Chinese shogunate, which was not far away. From the corner of his eye, he looked at the young man who had been following the Broken Sword Knight.
He was only a few years old and had the same nationality, but the young man was calm and calm, and his actions were full of etiquette and revealed a hint of nobility. I couldn't help but be curious.
I'm afraid my identity is not simple.
"No."
"He is the son of a good friend of mine, who entrusted him to stay by his side and teach him."
Feeling that Xiang Liang's eyes fell on Tianming, Can Jian shook his head and explained simply.
"It seems that Broken Sword Knight's friend is an extraordinary person."
Xiang Liang praised.
"Indeed... he is an extraordinary person."
"Ziming, come and see General Xiang Liang!"
Jing Ke, a young hero whom I had met several times in the past, was a bold man and had a very good temperament. His senior brother Han Shen was considered the leader of a hundred schools of thought. He would rather be the plotter of a hundred schools of thought and enter the Qin Dynasty to assassinate Ying Zheng.
If his mother, Gongsun Li, had not been her, he and his junior sister would have died long ago. No matter what, Tianming stayed with him and his junior sister Feixue to ensure their safety.
When it comes to entrustment, it should be considered a hundred schools of thought.
It should be extraordinary, and following what I said before, I looked at Tianming. Tianming was taught by the Confucian Fu Nian, so he should be regarded as a disciple of Confucianism and can be called a Ziming.
"Ziming has met General Xiang Liang!"
Hearing this and seeing what was happening, Xiao Tianming was a smart man. His posture on the horse remained motionless, and he bowed his hands in a polite manner, which was an extremely formal Confucian etiquette.
"Shi Jian Xia Shi studied under Xingcheng Library and can be regarded as an authentic Confucian and Taoist disciple."
"Although this junior of yours is young, he is already very distinguished. Speaking of which, I have a nephew who is also very talented, but he doesn't like literary matters."
"Otherwise, when you two meet, you should have a discussion."
The current status of the Xiang family does not need to be expanded in the military, but needs to be developed in the temple. My father is already very old and I am afraid that he will be here soon.
And he and his brother Xiang Bo can also maintain their father's legacy in the army. Sure enough, having talented and learned people from the Xiang family entering the capital temple will be a great help.
However, Ji'er likes martial arts and dislikes literary skills. It is a big regret and he can only plan for the future.
"Civil and military affairs are all matters of great importance."
"Civil ministers govern the country, and military generals defend the country and protect it from foreign forces. Both are indispensable."
Can Jian nodded and smiled.
"Haha, what the knight said is true."
"In front of you is the shogunate of the Central Army where the great Sima is located."
Xiang Liang smiled again, that was the truth, so it was just a pity that his nephew could not enter the temple.
******
Although they were very close to the Chinese shogunate, when they gathered at the second mile of the shogunate, everyone dismounted according to the rules and walked to the Chinese shogunate, which was the core place after all.
There are more and more patrolling soldiers around, they are becoming more elite, and their equipment is becoming more and more abundant.
"Junior sister, you and Ziming should wait outside."
After half a stick of incense, everyone had already seen the huge shogunate in the distance. Looking at this, Can Jian turned his body slightly and looked at Feixue and Xiao Tianming. He was on a mission during this trip.
It is so close that it needs to be presented to General Xiang Yan separately.
"Yes, senior brother."
Feixue knew the seriousness of the matter and naturally had no objection.
Tianming nodded.
"Remnant Sword Knight, please!"
Everyone retreated, and there were only a few people in front of the entrance of the shogunate. Xiang Liang took the lead, with a solemn expression, and bowed again.
"please!"
Can Jian nodded again and followed Xiang Liang into the Chinese shogunate, leaving Feixue and Xiao Tianming waiting in the huge open space outside.
"Ziming, you are so smart, guess what they are doing inside?"
Outside the shogunate, there is a martial arts field. The ground is so compact and flat that smoke and dust are difficult to exist. All kinds of weapons are displayed on wooden racks, and patrols come and go in an extremely dense manner.
Feixue moved around at will, and with her remaining spiritual sense, she could still feel the gazes falling on her from all directions at this moment, and she couldn't help but hum.
Leaving the little Tianming who was silent at the moment beside him, his face moved slightly and smiled.
"You can't do anything to plot against Qin!"
Xiao Tianming was too lazy to talk to Feixue, but he still had to ask himself about such a simple matter.
Matters involving the Grand Sima of the Chu State are definitely matters of the highest priority among all the Xia States, and judging from Can Jian's identity, it is definitely not a matter of the Chu State, but of its conspiracy.
Sure enough, it is obvious when you leave Xianyang from Canjian and go straight here.
"Hey, can you tell me something specific?"
Feixue felt itchy on one hand. Seeing Xiao Tianming looking down on her like this, she wanted to fix it.
"Among the countries in Shandong, the only one that can compete with the Qin State is the Chu State. This can be seen from the military camp we passed by just now."
"The person that Hero Can Sword wants to contact is the Grand Sima of Chu State, not the King of Chu. It should be for military planning, or..., why do you ask this?"
"You don't think about it yourself?"
On the way to the shogunate, Xiao Tianming couldn't help but think about it. He finally understood what he meant and was about to continue talking. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong and glanced at Feixue again.
He hummed softly and said nothing.
"I know everything about senior brother, so there's no need to think about it."
"You just saw the elite troops of the Chu State. Do you still feel that they are the elite soldiers of the Qin State?"
Feixue took a deep breath. If this place wasn't special, she would have taken action directly. She suppressed the fire in her heart, narrowed her bright eyes, and looked at Xiao Tianming rather unkindly.
"If we fight now, Chu has no chance of winning!"
"Tell you, don't even think about hitting me, I will really fight back."
Xiao Tianming's mysterious power was running around his body, and a shallow mysterious light came out of his body. He also raised his hands to guard against the opponent's sneak attack. His own patience was also extremely limited.
"Who said Chu State has no chance of winning!"
However, just as Xiao Tianming and Feixue were confronting each other, a rather unkind and crisp sound suddenly came from their ears.
