The first thousand two hundred and seventy-one chapters are unmatched
"Whether Anling State survives or not, it will have little impact on the overall situation."
"As your Excellency has said, Tang Ju is almost a hundred years old in the Wei State. He has been the king of the Wei State for several generations. He even followed Lord Xinling to fight against the Qin Dynasty. His mentality is hard to change!"
"Although Lord Anling is the king of the country, according to Qian Hong's knowledge, everything is under Tang Ju's control. Therefore..., the Anling Kingdom will be destroyed."
"If the country is destroyed, the Qin army can build a central strategic location there."
Not far away, Bai Qianhong, who appeared at an unknown time, was also approaching slowly. He could guess at least 70% of Tang Ju's words and plans when he came to see the Lord.
He is a descendant of Guigu Zongheng, and his specialty is the theory of temple Zongheng.
If Anling Kingdom wants to survive, it must have its own value!
What value?
It's nothing more than some reputation for Qin.
The Qin State did not have much need for those people. After all, for more than a hundred years, it had spread widely among the people of the country of tigers and wolves, the land of barbarians, and the countries of Shandong.
"I can be regarded as the general of Qin."
"Qian Hong, write a document for me and send it to Xianyang."
Zhou Qing didn't pay much attention to the Anling Kingdom's affairs. The small Anling Kingdom was insignificant compared to the whole army going south to destroy Chu, or in terms of other things.
Looking at Qian Hong, he said a word.
"yes."
Bai Qianhong is naturally very familiar with things like this.
"Nong Yu, let's sort out things here."
"Tomorrow, after we leave here, we won't come back."
Looking around the area that he has gradually become familiar with in recent months, Zhou Qing felt a little emotional. After all, this is also a place to stop and rest on the journey of life.
"yes."
Nongyu shows off her head gently.
Mid-morning the next day!
In the distance in the eastern sky, there is a hint of red rhyme, and the whole world is still in darkness, but... outside Wuyang City, a hundred thousand troops are moving, flags are flying, and people are singing.
Although it was already the turn of summer and autumn, there was still a slight feeling of heat in the sky. Inside the horse and carriage, Zhou Qing was already inside, and Qian Hong and the other generals moved in response to the dispatch of the generals.
"grown ups."
"Looking at the map, although the Chu State has not sent troops, it can march eastward from Wuyang, Xiping, Zhaoling, Xihua, Huaiyang, Yangxia, Yangcheng...all 13 cities including Qiao County
The flag of Shang Chu State."
"The territory has been expanded for hundreds of miles, and a hundred thousand troops have been back and forth to support it, which will provide stability."
The four-horse chariot traveled slowly on the wide main road. Although it was not as flat as the galloping road in Qin State, the four-horse chariot had gone through the transformation of the Shaofu and was much better.
Inside... there was a bright candlelight, and Bai Qianhong was sitting on her knees behind a wooden table. On the wooden table, there was a newly drawn map on which... the information marked on it was very detailed.
The garrison strength of thirteen cities of Chu State is marked.
There are hundreds and thousands of people at least, and thousands of people at most. Undoubtedly, this number gradually decreases from west to east, because the cities on the east side, whether they are Wei or Chu, have stronger defenses.
"In accordance with previous orders."
"A hundred thousand troops are pressing forward. If there is resistance, persuade them to surrender. If they fail, kill them!"
"When you make a choice, you have to bear the price."
Zhou Qing took another look at the map. In fact, it was not unfamiliar. He was already very familiar with it. Lying on the soft couch in the car, some strategies were clearly communicated.
Those cities... Chu State can occupy them if they want, so let's fight to see them.
"Sir, I think it's easy to get those cities from Chu, and it won't be as difficult to get them without losing troops and generals."
"In addition, it is the territory of the Wei State, so... as expected, the army is pressing forward, and I am afraid that the Chu State will most likely retreat."
"After all, it is not your own, and I have not given great force. It is meaningless to lose it, and there is no harm in discarding it."
Although the 100,000-strong army is not as elite as Chu's 100,000-strong army, does Chu dare to go to war?
Maybe dare to start a war!
But... Qu Zhaojing and others in China will not give Xiang Yan a chance.
In recent years, Qu Zhaojing has been very sad due to the push for favor. Xiang Yan sent troops to fight against Qin. This was their opportunity. As long as they could control the temples, food, grass, and baggage, etc.
Then...everything is still under control.
At that time... Even if Xiang Yan had an army of one million, so what? After all, it was not as good as the temples and temples where a military man could be killed with just a piece of paper.
If you get something without any effort, then... when you give it up next time, you will probably throw it away easily.
"Yangcheng, Yangxia."
"Although Chu's policy is ordinary, it is not something ordinary people can come up with."
"As you said yesterday, it was reported from the land south of the Yangtze River that Xiang Yan personally sent his son Xiang Bo to the place where he lived to invite an expert?"
"That person is... Fan Zeng?"
Holding Yan Lingji, who was still slightly asleep, in her arms, she stroked the soft green hair on her temples with one hand, and whispered about two familiar cities... but they were somewhat familiar despite the passage of time.
Of course, compared to those two places, another news brought by Qian Hong yesterday evening interested Zhou Qing even more.
Xiang Yan of Chu State personally sent people to invite an expert from the place where he lived?
A master in his nesting place?
When I think about it, there seems to be only one person who fits that point...
"It should be Fan Zeng!"
"Back then, when Qian Hong was still in the Chu Kingdom, most of them were also walking around Jiangbei. He knew a thing or two about this person and lived in seclusion in the nest. He is about fifty years old now, but his reputation is not obvious."
"It's just that from time to time some strange news comes from the nesting place. Qian Hong didn't pay attention to it, and he didn't study it carefully in the document sent from Jiangnan."
Although Fan Zeng’s name is not mentioned in the document!
But Bai Qianhong also felt that Fan Zeng was the only person in the entire nesting place who could meet that point.
Moreover, this person is not much different in age from Xiang Yan, and he is more likely to have known each other in his early years. Otherwise... Xiang Yan would not have sent his parents and children to invite him in a grand ceremony for no reason.
"Xiang Yan actually invited him out."
"interesting!"
"Then it gets interesting."
At this time, Xiang Yan invited Fan Zeng to the army, and what he did... Needless to say, it was definitely not small.
Zhou Zhou put his hands around the bunch of black hair and laughed. In the following era, he became more and more familiar with it, but some people and some things are fixed.
Some things are bound to happen!
Some things are not destined to happen!
"Your Excellency, you value Fan Zeng very much?"
From the tone of Mr. Wen, it seems that he is very interested in Fan Zeng. Generally speaking, when it comes to Fan Zeng, there is no doubt that... Fan Zeng is not an ordinary person.
"You will know in the future whether he is worthy of your attention."
Zhou Qing nodded.
Fan Zeng is indeed amazing throughout the years.
If the overlord known as Yu Zhiyong followed his advice, everything would be unknown.
However..., it's not the same after all.
"yes."
Since the adults valued Fan Zeng so much, she thought there must be something unique about him. Bai Qianhong put away the documents on the wooden case, remembered this person in her heart, rolled up the car curtain on the side with her hands, and took a look.
Not long after, mysterious light flashed around his body and disappeared into the carriage.
A whole day passed!
The chariots and horses accompanying Zhou Qing were in front, followed by an elite cavalry force of 20,000 people, and they rushed towards the first city occupied by Chu on the east side.
The land of Xiping.
This city is not big, only three or four miles in radius. It is far different from Daliang City in majesty. It is even only better than Wuyang City where Zhou Qing stayed before.
Approaching Ru River, according to the reports from the scouts, the surrender documents had already been sent into the city by force. Now..., the gate on the west side suddenly opened, and the lord of the city and the officials came out in plain clothes and stood on the left side of the road, thinking of their sincerity.
.
"Are you the county owner here?"
"very good!"
"You made a wise choice!"
At three o'clock in the morning, Zhou Qing got off the carriage, rode on a tall horse, and looked at the group of surrendered people in Xiping City. He was very satisfied. The flag of Qin had also been planted on the city gate.
Perhaps it is true as Nong Yu said, the Chu State did not spend much to occupy these cities, and now there is no loss in giving up. What's more, there are only less than a thousand Chu soldiers left here.
Facing an army of 100,000 people!
There is only one way!
Hearing this sound, everyone in the Xiping city trembled and unconsciously grabbed the ground with their heads. They all knelt on the ground to show their sincerity... It was not a sincere surrender, but a sign of powerlessness.
The Chu State's 100,000 troops have less than 1,000 men here, and the garrison in the city only has 1,000 men. Facing the Qin Army's 100,000 tigers and wolves, even Lord Xinling himself is powerless to stop him.
What's more... Daliang City has been destroyed, and the king and the royal family's important officials have been escorted to Xianyang. It is not a shame to judge the situation by yourself and surrender...
"Qian Hong, the army is resting here today, replenishing food and supplies, and will set off at 00:00 tomorrow!"
He took the lead in entering the city and handed over the remaining things to Bai Qianhong. He only had some handover and military affairs. The small city... was very cumbersome.
"yes."
Bai Qian was wearing a red purple dress, and her purple-like cloak was moving in the wind. She was followed by the general of the army. After hearing the Lord's words, she nodded in response. Immediately, without any hesitation, she quickly put things in order in Xiping.
At Mao hour of the next day, the troops left Xiping and marched towards the next city, Zhaoling. This city was a little far away from Xiping. After three days, they slowly marched to the city of Zhaoling.
Seeing the city gate open and the people waiting on the left and right, Zhou Qing smiled slightly and went straight in.
Three days later!
The same is true for the city of Xihua. There is no resistance and everyone surrenders!
Six days later!
The city of Huaiyang is like this!
Ten days later!
The same is true for Yangxia!
…
Wherever the army passed, the sky was blocked and the sun was blocked. It was so vast that no one refused to surrender. In just over half a month, six of the thirteen cities that had just been persuaded to surrender by Chu's 100,000 troops
The city changes its flag.
"Those people didn't even resist, it's really boring!"
It rained continuously in autumn. She rolled up the car curtain with her bare hands and looked at the hazy sky and earth. The rain was still falling. Yan Lingji didn't like this kind of weather.
After looking at it for a while, he returned to the carriage, found a comfortable place in the young master's arms, and continued to lie down, his bright eyes slightly narrowed, and he complained slightly.
