He patted the restless little girl in his arms with one hand. He knew the cultivation base of Ji Yanran from Yahu Xiaozhu.
Her qualifications are also very high, and she has received a thousand-year-old snow lotus aura donated by herself, so she has a high chance of breaking through.
In addition, she has a ray of chronological power left by herself, so she can feel... the direction of Lanling City, there is a pure Xuan Pass aura.
She definitely broke through.
It's really fast.
"It will be boring here in Shouchun. If you want to go to Lanling City, just go to Lanling City. It's better to be careful."
It's not that far away from Shouchun. Since Yan Lingji wants to go to Lanling, it doesn't matter.
I remember Nong Yu also said that he wanted to go to Zilanxuan in Lanling City.
Then there will be that opportunity.
"And you?"
"There are a lot of discussions about political affairs in Shouchun, and everything is flourishing in the city. Why don't you go to Lanling City too?"
Playing with the silver hair in her hand, she looked at the little girl. She was doing well recently and had successfully practiced sword control.
"Not going."
The little girl shook her head very much.
"Senior brother, if King Qin appears in Shouchun, then Concubine Dongjun Yan of the Yin Yang family should be there to protect him."
"I let her escape in Shushan last year. Let's see how she escapes this time."
Immediately, he raised his head and looked at his senior brother and asked lightly.
"Confidence is good."
"Strive to defeat Dongjun."
Zhou Qing smiled, the little girl remembered it clearly, she had almost forgotten it.
******
"Wu Zhenhou!"
"Wu Zhenhou!"
"..."
The journey from Nanjun was smooth without encountering any obstacles. In just a few days, we arrived in Shouchun.
After all, this is my second time here.
The last time I came here was many years ago. It was also that time when I met Qian Hong in Shouchun City. At that time, the Xia Kingdoms still existed.
Now we come to Shouchun again, among all the Xia, there is only one Qi state left.
As he approached Shouchun Gate, everyone was already greeting him. Zhou Qing got off the carriage, followed by Yun Shu and Nong Yu.
"Haha, no need to be polite."
"General, destroying Chu in one battle is a great event, and I should congratulate you!"
Looking at the general Wang Jian at the front, Zhou Qing took two steps and helped him up. Then he looked at the generals on the left and right. They were all very familiar commanders in the army.
He smiled brightly and bowed his hands.
"Marquis Wu Zhen is overly praised."
"It is all thanks to the king's trust, the mighty and majestic army of the Qin Dynasty, and the help of all the generals that this victory was achieved. Finally, the king was not disappointed."
"please!"
Wearing heavy black armor, he spent nearly a year grasping the overall situation of destroying Chu. He worked a lot, and Wang Jian was also much older.
The hair on the temples has turned gray, and the look on his face shows that he is old. This year... has taken a lot of hard work.
As the general who destroyed Chu, he had reversed the situation of the war in just a few days a month ago, but in one year, he needed to do more than just that.
A few days ago, I also received a document from Xianyang. The king is coming to Shouchun to discuss the next strategy for attacking Lingnan.
Marquis Wu Zhen is also on the list, and now he is one step ahead.
"please!"
Zhou Qing nodded, and immediately everyone returned to Shouchun City. Under the guidance of the waiter, they headed to somewhere in the city.
"It has been almost ten years since I last came to Shouchun."
"At that time, Shouchun was quite lively. Now...everything is in ruins. I don't know how long it will take to recover."
Walking around Shouchun City at will, everything seems a little familiar, but also a little strange. After all, not much has changed.
However, the spiritual consciousness spread, and the entire Shouchun was now completely taken over by the Qin army. Although there were some Chu troops in the city, few shops and wine shops on both sides of the street were open.
The hustle and bustle disappeared for more than nine floors.
This is not the first time I have seen such a scene.
When Korea was destroyed, Xinzheng was like this.
When Zhao was destroyed, Handan was like this. As for Jicheng and Daliang City, I don't know clearly. I think they are similar.
"It should be soon."
"When Shouchun was captured, it didn't even take half an hour. Most of the city was well preserved, and everything in the city will be reorganized."
"Re-register the household registration, and things will be back to normal."
Wang Jian smiled and said that he had some understanding of these things. Yan and Zhao were both conquered and destroyed by himself.
Therefore, there is an estimate of how long it will take for a damaged city to be restored.
But this year, it will be difficult!
Starting next year, things will get much better.
But it will only be a lot better. Here in Shouchun... it is impossible to return to the busiest time, which does not meet the requirements of the center.
"General Li Xin hasn't returned yet?"
Among the generals who greeted him behind him, Li Xin and Zhao Tuo were not among them, which made Zhou Qing a little strange.
"After General Li Xin chased Xiang Yan, he led his troops directly into Jiangdong to wipe out the remaining power of the Xiang clan and at the same time bring the Kuaiji area in Jiangdong under his control."
"In order to plan to go south to Wuyue, and then go straight to Lingnan."
"Zhao Tuo returned along the river, mopping up the remnants of the Chu army along the way. Judging from the documents sent by the military newspaper, he will be back in three to five days."
Wang Jian responded.
Among the three generals who pursued Xiang Yan, Meng Tian was the first to return, because a document came from the central government, indicating that there seemed to be movement among the Huns from Northern Hu.
Therefore, Meng Tian was directly ordered to lead the Golden Fire Cavalry back to Jiuyuan Camp to prevent any unexpected events.
Li Xin and Zhao Tuo have their own duties and have not returned yet.
"I heard that although Xiang Yan died, Lord Changping, Xiang Liang, Xiang Bo and others escaped. Is there any news for the time being?"
Zhou Qing nodded. The land of Guangling was very close to Jiangdong. It was normal for Li Xin to lead his troops directly into Jiangdong.
I don't know how the other people's search went.
"Pursuit documents have been issued to all places."
"However, those people should not show up easily. When the Qin army completely takes over the Chu land, those people will have no choice but to hide."
Wang Jian responded.
The hunting document has been issued, but for the time being, there is no hope. Chu land is vast and Huainan is vast. It is difficult to find those people if they get into a deep mountain and dense forest.
However, when all the people in the Chu region are registered, their household registrations are sorted out, and they receive personal stickers and other things, it will be much easier to hunt down those people.
"The Xiang family has been a powerful military clan of the Chu State for decades. They have a deep influence on the Chu army. Those people are always a hidden danger."
"Yao Jia, send an order and set up a net to search for traces of those people."
Zhou Qing turned his body slightly and looked at the Shangqing Yao Jia aside. Since the attack on Chu, he had temporarily taken over Luowang's information exchange.
"Here!"
Yao Jia took a step forward and bowed his hands.
"Judging from the documents passed down by the king earlier, the next time I come to Shouchun is not only to celebrate the success of destroying Chu, but also to plan for the south of the Yangtze River."
"General, what's the gain?"
Even so, Zhou Qing did not stop at the previous topic, and followed the lead of the messenger in front, speeding up his pace a little.
Fall on topic.
"Although I have gained something, I haven't smoothed it over yet."
"There are many related documents and classics in the King of Chu's city. They have been sorted out quickly these days."
"Especially the many ancient maps, which are very important for marching south."
Wang Jian shook his head.
The plan to destroy Chu was to plan for the south of the Yangtze River, which was the first step to determine the south. The next step was to rectify the entire Huainan.
It will take several months before we can march into the south of the Yangtze River.
The areas south of the Yangtze River, Lingnan, and the South China Sea are thousands of miles away from Shouchun. The terrain, tribes, and weather are all extremely complex.
Although I haven't organized my thoughts in detail, it will take a long time to completely invade the South China Sea and completely control Jiangnan.
"Haha, it seems...some people can help."
"By chance, I met members of the Zhuang clan in Chu State. In recent years, they have been active in the south of the Yangtze River."
"During this period, many Baiyue tribes were subdued. In this way, the situation in the south of the Yangtze River should be clearer."
"Next, when they come to Shouchun, the general can ask them a few questions."
A few days ago, when we were chasing Xiang Yan's troops, in the south of the Yangtze River, Zhuang Ling, the leader of the Zhuang clan, gathered people from many parties and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress them.
Consider it meritorious.
Although the details of that power are not a secret to some people, it has not yet been fully revealed.
Moreover, the destruction of Xiang Yan's forces and the subsequent attack on Jiangnan can also be regarded as their promotion capital.
"I've heard about it, so I'm looking forward to it."
