Pink Die and Manager Miao made good plans, but after all, their plans could not keep up with the changes.
Hu Hai had just finished listening to the introduction of Pink Die's Beauty Third Class and before he had time to speak, there was a knock on the door.
Hu Hai glanced at Ying Yi in surprise. Ying Yi stood up and opened the door. A dragon guard stood at the door, whispered a few words to Ying Yi in a low voice, and then stepped back. Seeing Ying Yi's suddenly shocked face, Hu Hai suddenly felt uncomfortable.
Wonderful premonition.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Wang Li has sent an urgent military message, and there is chaos in Chu!" Yingyi returned to Hu Hai and whispered.
After hearing Ying Yi's words, Hu Hai's hands on his knees suddenly tightened, and then slowly released them. He smiled and said to Zhang Han: "There is something going on in the house. It seems that I won't be able to see this beautiful princess today. Come back!"
Hu Hai stood up and left without looking at Bai Die again.
He doesn't have much dislike for women who are forced to sell their bodies in order to survive. He also has only pity for those so-called princesses who have been trained as female slaves in order to live, and have no desire for ordinary people.
A sense of conquest in search of the rare and strange.
Not only because princesses or wealthy ladies are not as noble as him as the emperor, but more importantly because he hates the actions of the red and green family.
Although Zhang Han didn't know what happened, how could he still stay here after the emperor had left? He quickly got up and followed Hu Hai out of Changqing Tower.
From the beginning to the end, no one, whether it was Hu Hai, Ying Yi, or even Zhang Han, said a word to Pink Die from the moment they stood up to the time they left.
Pinkie stood in Changqing Building blankly, until Hu Hai and others had disappeared, and then she suddenly realized what was going on. When she chased to the door, there were still shadows of Hu Hai and others. Looking at the empty Changqing Building, Pinkie stomped her feet bitterly.
After leaving the Honglu Family Kingdom, Hu Hai and others got on their horses and ran towards the Bashang Camp.
"May I ask Your Majesty, what happened?" Zhang Han, who was riding behind Hu Hai, found the opportunity at this time and asked loudly.
"Go back to the camp and discuss it later. Ying Yi ordered the Dragon Guards to thoroughly investigate the Red and Green Family. I am very curious about the owner of the Red and Green Family who has never appeared behind the scenes and has great magical powers." Hu Hai asked Ying Yi.
There are beauties of three different sizes in the three buildings. The level of status or official position determines which floor you can enter to enjoy yourself. It is somewhat similar to the VIP system in later generations. This is indeed a good way to attract customers and make money.
But what if it’s not just about making money?
Beauty is a knife that can kill people invisible, and making money is only one of the functions she can play. Hu Hai knows this very well. And the Red and Green Family has many stunning beauties that are irresistible.
"I obey your order!"
…
Jiujiang County in the Qin Dynasty had a total of eleven counties, and its jurisdiction included the intersection of the four provinces of Henan, Hubei, Anhui, and Jiangsu in later generations. Jiujiang County governed Shouchun, which was Shoying, the capital of the ancient Chu state.
Shouchun is located at the junction of Jiujiang and Chenjun, Sishui, on the south bank of the middle reaches of the Huaihe River.
After Wu Rui married his daughter on April 16th and raised troops from Poyang, Yingbu led more than 100,000 Yue barbarians in just three days, and drove down several counties in Jiujiang to Juchao (near Chaohu, Anhui today), Liyang
(today's He County, Anhui Province) area, and included the two counties of She County and Yi County in Kuaiji.
After passing Liyang, there are six counties behind Jiujiang County, the gateway to Shouchun.
Xiang Liang raised his troops two days later than Wu Rui, but the land east of Jiang was the old land of Chu, so his speed was not much slower than Yingbu's.
On April 18, Xiang Liang started to rebel against Qin from Wu County in Kuaiji County. In just a few days, he had captured all the counties in the southern part of Kuaiji County. Most of the methods Xiang Liang used were to recruit surrender.
The impact on the ground was even faster than that of Yingbu who attacked the city and plundered the land.
After acquiring most of Kuaiji, Xiang Liang's strength suddenly increased greatly. In addition to the 8,000 elite soldiers from Jiangdong's disciples trained by Xiang Yu himself, heroes from all counties in Jiangdong have come to surrender in the past few days. In just a few days, Xiang Liang has deployed nearly 100,000 troops.
But in this army of more than 100,000 people, except for Xiang Yu's 8,000 Jiangdong disciples, the remaining soldiers did not even have decent weapons, let alone armor, shields, horses and other weapons and equipment.
Therefore, Xiang Liang decisively rejected Xiang Yu's suggestion to take the opportunity to go north to attack Jiujiang and enter Guanzhong. Instead, he recruited craftsmen scattered among the people to start making armor and weapons, and comprehensively trained the army.
On April 24, Xiang Liang had just returned from the camp outside Wu County when he received detailed urgent military information. At this time, Xiang Liang learned that Wu Rui, the magistrate of Poyang County, had launched an army to rebel against Qin before him.
As an official of the Qin Dynasty, Wu Rui's rebellion against the Qin Dynasty was indeed a bit beyond Xiang Liang's expectations, but it gave Xiang Liang a warning.
Now, including the officials of Great Qin, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, and some thoughtful people still hiding in the dark, they all want to overthrow the behemoth of Great Qin that is weighing on everyone's heads and share the fat of Great Qin.
And there is only so much fat, so how can the Xiang family get the biggest piece in the upcoming carve-up feast? It is placed in front of Xiang Liang. Obviously, the strategy of keeping a low profile is no longer appropriate.
Of course, Xiang Liang didn't know the changes in Guanzhong at all. He also didn't know that the Wei State restored by Zhang Er and Chen Yu had been destroyed by Wang Li's army three days ago, and Zhang Er and Chen Yu were beheaded on the 22nd.
On the way to Xianyang.
"Go and call the Major General!" Xiang Liang ordered, and the guards at the door bowed in response and turned to leave.
"Hold on! Go and invite the three heads of the Zhao family, the Qu family, and the Jing family! Just say that I, the general, have invited you!" Xiang Liang thought for a moment, stopped his guards, and added.
"Here!"
Soon Xiang Yu came first.
"What's your uncle's instructions to your nephew?" Xiang Yu came in and bowed to Xiang Liang.
"Wu Rui, the former county magistrate of the Qin State in Jiujiang, has raised troops in Poyang. Now his son-in-law Yingbu has led more than 100,000 troops and has marched down several counties to Shouchun, the capital of the Chu State." Xiang Liang will report the news in detail.
He told Xiang Yu.
"Uncle, please give the order!" Xiang Yu said simply.
"Okay! My uncle wants his nephew to lead 8,000 Jiangdong elites as the vanguard of the front army. My uncle will lead 50,000 troops as the middle army. My eldest brother, Xiang Bo, will lead 20,000 troops as the rear army and go north to Shouying, the old capital of the Chu Kingdom." Xiang Liang high-fived.
road.
"My nephew will obey my uncle's order! It's just my uncle. We are all leading the army to the north. What will happen to the hometown of my Xiang family in the east of the Yangtze River?" Xiang Yu said worriedly.
"Nephew, there is no need to worry. My uncle has already gone ahead to invite the three heads of the Zhao family, the Qu family, and the Jing family. When our army goes north, the land east of the Yangtze River will be handed over to these three clans to guard it!" Xiang Liang smiled.
road.
"Why is this? My nephew thinks it's inappropriate! The ambitions of these three clans were wolf-like, and their ancestors were always hindered by our Xiang clan. Now our Xiang clan is the most benevolent and righteous in taking in these three clans. Why do we still need to keep my Xiang clan?"
The old land was handed over to these three tribes? The nephew thought that his uncle should lead an army to stay in Wuzhong. The nephew only needs 8,000 Jiangdong elites under his command to win the longevity of his uncle!" Xiang Yu said harshly.
Xiang Liang looked at Xiang Yu who was blushing anxiously and stood up with a smile and patted his shoulder and said: "How could uncle not know the hearts of these three tribes? It's just that things are different now. Now the remnants of the six countries in the world have risen together, and the officials of Qin have also rebelled."
Qin.
I don’t know how many heroes there are in the world, but I, the Xiang clan, will probably be alone in the end. These three clans have deeper roots in our Chu land than our Xiang clan, and the foundations of our Xiang clan are all in the army. Now our army is huge.
Grass-roots creation requires the power of these three tribes even more!"
Therefore, there are four major aristocratic families in Chu, the Zhao family, the Qu family, the Jing family, and the Xiang family. Among these four major aristocratic families, except for the Xiang family, the other three major aristocratic families are all branches of the ancient Chu king's family.
However, the Xiang family itself is not from the Chu State.
During the Yin and Shang Dynasties, there was a small country named Xiang. Because it was only the fourth viscount among the princes, it was called Xiangzi Kingdom. The country was close to the Jishui River (today's Hailing District, Taizhou City, Jiangsu Province, has been filled in)
, the area under its jurisdiction is only a hundred miles in radius. In this Xiangzi country, everyone takes Guo as their surname, and has the earliest Xiang clan.
Later, the Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Shang Dynasty, and the weak Xiang Ziguo did not send troops to serve the king. At the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, there was Guan Cai Wu Geng's rebellion. At this time, Xiang Ziguo had lost its territory and was not involved. For this reason, Zhou Pingping appointed Guan Cai's rebellion and re-enfranchised it.
He deliberately restored the Xiang family's fiefdom and regarded it as a model of loyalty and obedience for small states, so the Xiang Kingdom was born.
After hundreds of years of this, King Ping of Zhou moved east to Luoyang, and the world entered the Spring and Autumn Period of endless strife. Xiang Ziguo also took the opportunity to annex more than a dozen smaller surrounding city-states and minor princes. With the approval of the Zhou royal family, it changed its name and was officially named Xiang Guo.
Its capital, Xiangcheng, became a small and prestigious town in Huaibei.
When the Kingdom of Xiang was booming, Duke Xi of Lu took a fancy to the land of the Kingdom of Xiang. So he reached an agreement with Duke Huan of Qi, the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period at that time. Duke Xi of Lu came to Xiangcheng and transferred all the land of the Kingdom of Xiang to the Kingdom of Lu.
In the territory of Lu, the Xiang people were handed over by the Lu State to the sparsely populated Qi State.
The order issued by Guan Zhong, the Prime Minister of Qi at that time, was to banish all the Xiang clan to the East China Sea and punish them with hard labor as a fishing and hunting tribe. In order to escape from the hard labor of prisoners, the Xiang clan fled into the State of Wu, which was beyond the reach of Qi at that time.
.
After escaping into the Wu Kingdom, the Xiang clan learned from the painful experience and developed a martial arts culture. Whether it was fishing, hunting or farming, everyone had to practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies. The children of the clan also had to have some talents. The first thing they had to do was to learn the art of war.
At the same time, the Xiang family also reformed the clan rules. All walks of life in the clan were governed by a military system. In the event of danger, the entire clan would serve as a military force. Gradually, the reputation of the Xiang family in Wu Zhong for their strength spread throughout Wu and Yue.
More and more of his descendants have entered the Wu and Yue teams.
More than a hundred years later, we entered the era of the Warring States Period. The State of Yue destroyed the State of Wu, and the State of Chu destroyed the State of Yue. When the State of Yue destroyed the State of Wu, the Xiang family fought with their entire clan and became a powerful force that commanded all the people at that time.
The overlord of the country, King Gou Jian of Yue, was very troubled by the desperate elite.
When the Yue Kingdom declared its demise, the Xiang clan did not surrender to the Yue Kingdom. Instead, they fled into the rivers and lakes, united with the old Wu tribes in many ways, and constantly raised troops to attack the Yue Kingdom. Although they were unable to restore the Wu Kingdom, Xiang's
His name has spread far and wide throughout the world.
The Chu State destroyed the Yue State, and in order to appease the Baiyue tribes who were scattered in various places to fight against the Chu State, King Chu Wei, the king of Chu at that time, sent a special envoy into the rivers and lakes of Wuzhong to search for the Xiang family and solemnly invited the Xiang family to come out.
