The first thousand four hundred and sixty-four chapters never existed
"This kind of weather is really...the first grand war in the Xia Dynasty since the records of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the three dynasties for thousands of years!"
"How lucky you are to wait!"
"I am very lucky, too!"
Lingxu stood up against the wind and stood in the air. Bai Qianhong walked dozens of miles out of the city and looked down at everything in the distance. There were parrots singing, ink crows and white phoenixes with Xuanguang Dao Seals under their feet.
The large camps built by the Qin army stretched out for nearly a hundred miles. The flags covered the sun, the drums shook the sky, and the momentum could not be greater.
Nearby was the Chu army, which was equally powerful.
In the past few days, according to the news from the Chu State, the Chu army has gradually increased its troops from Huainan again, and its strength has exceeded 500,000.
The three major foundations stretch for nearly a hundred miles in the countryside of the city north of Huaibei. The flaming red military tents and armors are lined up, igniting blazing fire, which is particularly eye-catching under the blue sky.
The black armor of the Qin army is also like a torrent, piled up in one place, surging like dark clouds turning, shimmering and shining, it can be said to be an eternal wonder!
Both sides have nearly 1.2 million troops alone!
More than 1.5 million people have been invested!
In the entire Huaibei land of Chu State, nearly three million people gathered in just a few months. In thousands of years, no war could be like this.
Even the Battle of Changping back then was far inferior.
If it weren't for the military force, where the iron-blooded energy soared into the sky, Lingxu was fighting the wind, we would have seen it more clearly, and the crisp sound of red and white blood was flowing, and we couldn't help but sigh.
"I'm afraid that such a grand event will never happen in the future!"
Yingge left Shouchun and went north to join the Qin army, staying by Bai Qianhong's side. Now she is also looking at the magnificent scenery.
Feelings couldn't stop flowing out.
"The news from Luo Wen seems that many people from hundreds of families who have traveled through the Xia Dynasty have also appeared here."
"I don't know if I want to see such a grand scene, or if I have other plans."
Mo Ya nodded, and the scene in front of him was really unsatisfactory. Both countries had invested more than half a million troops. In such a battle situation, the warrior who transformed into a god could only say one word when he entered it!
Even a mysterious warrior like Bai Qianhong has to retreat!
"Even if Guigu has a big plan, what can he do?"
"Even if hundreds of schools have plans, they will not be able to help such a general trend!"
Bai Qianhong sighed.
In this kind of war, what is competing is not just the so-called wisdom and strategy. If thousands of people fight against each other, it will still have some effect.
Nowadays, it doesn't make much difference at all.
Both Xiang Yan and Wang Jian are both famous generals. They all have their own tactics and strategies that cannot be influenced by any other force.
Otherwise, why would he be a famous general?
"The Chu army really wants to challenge!"
Bai Feng held a piece of white feather in his hand, powerless in the air, and looked towards the Chu army. The news from Shouchun was very clear.
"The family!"
"The noble families of Chu State want Chu State to win, but they don't want Chu State to win too much."
"With the support of a short period of food and grass baggage, Xiang Yan was forced to attack the Qin army. Sure enough, they won and they were able to leave."
"In a long-term confrontation, those noble families will not be happy to weaken their own strength and help the Chu country to win. This is not the long-term way for the noble families."
Bai Qianhong responded affirmatively.
I spent a lot of time in Chu State in my early years, and I know very well the behavior of those noble families, and I have to balance my own interests with those of Chu State.
They will definitely choose their own interests, and at most they will take into account one or two of them.
The rest of the Xia kingdoms are similar.
For example, in South Korea, which had already been conquered, Xinzheng was overcrowded with supplies, soldiers were short of soldiers, and the national treasury was empty, but the noble families had considerable strength.
For example, the Zhao State was also destroyed. There was so much wealth in Handan that Li Mu's army could not sustain its heavy supplies.
…
…
"Hahaha, how does such a scene compare to the Battle of Muye when the Great Zhou Dynasty defeated the Great Shang Dynasty?"
Rumors of the grand event on the north bank of the Huai River spread, and the King of Chu was surprised. In his spare time, he went to Ruyin with several important officials.
Each other secretly climbed the mountain, looked down, and gazed into the distance.
Looking at the situation in front of me, I can't help but feel proud.
Since the founding of Chu State, has there ever been such a war?
"The Battle of Makino?"
"Although classics record that the Yin merchants had more than three and a half million soldiers, in fact, the number of soldiers on both sides was only one or two hundred thousand, which was not enough."
Right Sima Jingcheng shook his head.
"Hahaha, how does it compare to the ancient Battle of Sakazumi?"
Chew the cud and rejoice again, another question.
"The battle between the Human Emperor and the Shennong clan is hard to find. Even if it were true, it would not be as good as today."
Jingcheng shook his head again.
"Everyone in the country has heard today that the Qin army is the power of water!"
"The Chu army is the power of fire!"
"Yes, if you use water to extinguish fire, Chu will be destroyed. What do you think?"
Negi Chu talked about a trivial matter in the capital, and his words seemed to have some charm. He looked at the people around him and asked them. Master Zou Yan's theory of the five elements and five virtues of heaven and man decades ago was not false.
Could it be that Haotian is also so unfavorable to Da Chu?
"Your Majesty, when the two armies are at war, it's up to humans to decide what to do, why not to Heaven?"
"The Confucian master Xun Kuang said that the behavior of heaven is constant. It does not exist for Yao and does not perish for Jie. This should be the case."
Xiang Yan cupped his fists and saluted.
"King!"
"I'm afraid those rumors were spread by people in the Qin State."
"The ancestors of the Chu people are the descendants of Zhu Rong and should be regarded as fire virtues. The ancestors of the Qin people are the descendants of Boyi and are the descendants of water. Master Zou Yan has five elements, five virtues and five directions. Water can extinguish fire, and fire can also overcome water!"
"At present, the two armies are in a stalemate. It seems that they are invulnerable to water and fire. However, the Chu State is located in the south. Among the five elements of heaven and earth, the south is the position of fire. It should be the great Chu gifted by Haotian."
"In this way, the fire will become more powerful, and it will be able to burn out all the water and defeat the Qin army!"
Ling Yin, who was traveling with him, explained.
"good!"
"Such wonderful words should be passed on to our army to boost their morale."
It is even more joyful to bear the cud.
"This...here!"
Although Xiang Yan didn't believe this, it was inappropriate to continue to pester him, so he had to nod his head.
"Now that the Qin and Chu armies are in such great glory, does the general have a way to defeat Qin?"
Ling Yin looked at Xiang Yan and asked about business.
As for the five elements and five virtues of heaven and man, they also have to fulfill their duties as human beings.
Hearing this, Zhe Chu didn't say much, he just looked over.
"I want to hear it too."
Right Sima Jingcheng saluted.
"King!"
"grown ups!"
"The Qin Army's 600,000 troops gathered here. Half a month ago, the old minister had ordered all armies to attack the Qin Army at any time, but the Qin Army could not avoid the battle."
"Every time our army took the initiative to provoke and advance, the Qin army only suppressed it with strong bows and crossbows, but still failed to move out. The veteran thought that Wang Jian must want to fight for a long time."
"If Chu wants to defeat Qin, he must find another way!"
Xiang Yan bowed his hands, looked at the grand military situation in the distance, and spoke deeply.
"Make another plan?"
"What's the plan?"
Bear the cud and say nothing.
Old Ling Yin raised his eyebrows.
"As far as I know, there are Mohist elites in Ruyin City, and there are twelve instruments made."
"Isn't it possible that none of those weapons can break through the Qin army's defense?"
The words of You Sima Jingcheng have some profound meaning.
"Your Majesty, the Qin army has defensive weapons crafted with great care by the National Protectorate Academy."
"The Mohist is studying how to break it, and there is no unique method yet."
"If it is possible, I should do it myself."
"Moreover, the defense of the Qin army in front of us is not comparable to Li Xin's before, and Qin general Wang Jian is not comparable to Li Xin!"
Xiang Yan explained.
"So, the Qin army is indestructible?"
Although he was aware of Xiang Yan's plans, something about Xiang Yan's words... made him unhappy.
Ning Chu's previous joyful demeanor dissipated.
"Kuan Wang Jian's plan is to engage in a long-term confrontation in order to consume Chu's national power and look for good opportunities to fight with force."
"Currently, the land of Huaibei is in the hands of the Qin army, and the Chu State is holding on to Huaibei. For one thing, it requires a lot of effort. Compared with the Qin State, there is a certain gap in national strength between the two."
"The old minister's plan is to temporarily withdraw to Huainan and rely on the power of Huainan, Yunmeng, and Xiangshui to fight against the Qin army!"
Xiang Yan spoke deeply.
"Withdraw into Huainan?"
"Don't we want to introduce the Qin army into... the hinterland of Chu State?"
Right Sima Jingcheng's expression suddenly changed, full of displeasure.
The family's foundation is in Huainan. As expected, the Qin army was introduced into Huainan. What should they do? Could it be that Xiang Yan did this intentionally?
Do you want to use the power of the Qin army to weaken them?
Or...the king also has this intention?
From the beginning, the king rarely spoke, and seemed to understand what Xiang Yan said.
"The general seems to be a little afraid of Wang Jian."
"Could it be that Wang Jiandong went out to destroy the country and became so famous that the general felt fearful?"
Old Ling Yin's expression did not change, but he hesitated after asking.
"Your Majesty."
"Don't make excuses that hurt your heart."
Hearing Old Ling Yin's mocking and sarcastic remarks, Fu Chu quickly stopped him.
In the current situation, how can the civil and military forces in the temple be so at odds with each other?
"..."
"King!"
Xiang Yanqiang suppressed the anger in his heart and said nothing.
******
"Sir, let's not talk about it..., this hot spring in Shushan is really good."
“Not only is the water full of spirituality, but the surrounding scenery is also superb!”
"How about... after solving the troubles in Shushan, sir, let the king seal this place. We will send people to tidy up this place. It will definitely be good."
The deep valley of Shu Mountain is surrounded by towering mountain walls. The cherry blossoms are blooming in the valley, and the subtle fragrance floats around. It is like an old hot spring place in a corner of the earth, with a charming charm.
“This hot spring is really good.”
"It should have something to do with Yu Yuan's seal, sir. Sure enough, the trouble with Yu Yuan's seal has been solved. Will there still be such strange things here?"
On this trip, Nong Yu, Yun Shu, and Yan Lingji followed. As for Xue'er, she accompanied the little girl to practice outside the city.
Judging from the little girl's practice in these days, it is very likely that she will achieve enlightenment this year. She is very much looking forward to it. In addition to Dongjun Yanfei's letter, four people came out of nowhere.
Donghuang Taiyi has not arrived yet, so he should take a leisurely stroll.
With her skirt and shirt off her shoulders, her hair shawl, and her feet touching the water, she felt the wonder of this hot spring. The smoke was rising from the hot spring water. They were lying next to the stone pillar in the center of the hot spring, and the four of them were chatting casually.
Hearing Sister Yanling's words of hope, Nong Yu also said the same thing.
Then he looked at the adults.
"If Yu Yuan's seal does not exist, the Hedao inner elixir in this stone pillar can last for a period of time, but after a few decades, the three-yuan essence in the inner elixir will be exhausted, and the water charm will no longer be spiritual."
"Of course, we only need to set up other formations to preserve the uniqueness of this valley."
