Chapter 28 The ancient road paved with blood

The headless Yingbu slowly fell to the ground, making a heavy and dull sound.

There were tens of thousands of people on the entire Huai River bank, silent.

Tens of thousands of pairs of eyes stared at the tall figure who cut off his head with his own hands and held his head away from afar.

The wind is whistling and the Yishui is cold, and the hero will never return.

"Major General! Ah!"

Long Qi, who had walked more than twenty steps away, saw Xiang Yu sending his head out to him from afar, let out a heart-wrenching wail. He rolled and crawled in front of Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu, who cut off his head, was still standing steadily, but there was no rest. The head held in his left hand, his eyes widened as if it was alive. But at this moment, he showed a little relief and relief in his eyes, and he was missing the past

Absurd and sharp.

The eight-foot-foot-year-old man was crying like a child at this moment. He stretched out his hands tremblingly but had no courage to take over the head held by Xiang Yu's left hand.

At this time, Long Qi had already understood that Xiang Yu had not given up his pride at all, and the reason why he agreed to surrender was just to make himself and hundreds of Jiangdong cavalry survive.

Long and he knew the reason for Xiang Yu's suicide and giving him his head away.

Xiang Yu would not surrender, and Xiang Yu was also atonement for the dozens of Jiangdong personal guards who were killed by him outside Chengwu City.

Long Qi had fantasized countless times that Xiang Yu would wake up one day, but he did not expect that Xiang Yu would use such a fierce way to atone for his sins. This was not the result he wanted to see, but it was the best result now.

In this way, there is no doubt that Xiang Yu would kill Yingbu.

Ying Bu's eyes began to flash when he heard Xu Chuang's words. Compared with the Jiangdong cavalry who were still fighting to the death with the Qin army, Ying Bu wanted to survive even more. Long You see this, Xiang Yu also saw it.

In the eyes.

Since Xiang Yu has already used his head to atone for the Jiangdong guards who were killed by him, how could Xiang Yu let go of Ying Bu, who was also covered with the blood of Jiangdong guards? What's more, Ying Bu,

I have never been happy with Xiang Yu.

"Bang!" With a sound, the crying dragon fell heavily to the ground.

Hundreds of Jiangdong cavalry guarded by the Qinglong Army also woke up from extreme shock at this moment, and immediately wailed, struggling to run to the place where Xiang Yu was.

The development of things was much beyond Xu Chuang's expectations.

After all the remnants of Chu State surrendered, Xiang Yu chose to commit suicide.

With a sigh, Xu Chuang waved his hand. The Qinglong Army soldiers who blocked the Jiangdong Cavalry all let go of the Jiangdong Cavalry.

...

That night, Hu Hai received news that Xiang Yu committed suicide after killing Yingbu on the bank of the Huai River in Guangling. He was not too surprised.

After all, this may be the best result.

Although I don’t know why Xiang Yu killed Ying Bu before committing suicide, it doesn’t matter. What’s important is that Ying Bu is already dead, and Xiang Yu died together. Of course, there will be no threat to the dead.

While urging Xu Chuang to bury Xiang Yu and gather the prisoners of the Chu army back to Chen County, Hu Hai issued an order to Feng Jie and Han Xin to pacify Kuaiji, Zheng County and other places at the same time.

Xiong Xin, Xiang Liang, Zhaotong and others were all captured alive, and the main force of the Chu army was basically lost with Xiang Yu's death. At this point, no Chu army could pose a threat to the Qin army in the entire Chu area. At this moment, he went south to pacify Kuaiji and Zheng

The county and other places can be said to be the most suitable one.

The Chu land was basically pacified, and the last rebellion in the Qin Dynasty was only Nanyue Ziying and Zhao Tuo.

When hundreds of thousands of troops of the Qin Dynasty gathered to pacify Chu on the north bank of the Huai River, Zhang Han, who was far away in Nanyue, was not idle either.

Starting from the fifth day of September, when we arrived at the Zhi County of Bajun (the center of Fuling District, Chongqing City in the later generations), with the help of Baqing, the 150,000 Hu Ben Army quickly crossed the Yangtze River and began to flow down the Wujiang River and enter Qianzhong County.

Of course, Wujiang was not called Wujiang at this time of Daqin, but Yanshui.

In the pre-Qin period, most of the population was concentrated in the Central Plains and other places, namely the original five countries of Qi, Han, Wei, Zhao, and Qin, such as Yan and Chu, although their territory was not small,

But there are many places that are deserted and crowded.

Later generations, although most of the areas near the coastlines were vast, they were sparsely located in Yunnan and Guizhou, Gansu, Liaodong, Guangxi, Guangzhou, Fujian, Hunan, Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

There are three counties in Nanyue, except for Nanhai County, including the county seat, there are only two cities in Guilin County, and Xiang County has only one city.

After Emperor Shin-Yinhuang pacified the world, Zheng State was ordered to investigate the world's great roads, from low to high, divided into three categories and integrated them.

The first category is the county and county official roads. Most of these official roads are integrated and repaired according to the original domestic roads of the seven countries. The second category is centered on the Neishi County, where Xianyang, the capital of the Great Qin Kingdom, is located.

Twelve official roads in the outer space. (These twelve official roads were introduced in the second volume of more than 200 chapters, so I won’t talk about them here.)

The third category is the world's road. The road has four main lines. They are: the road from Xianyang to Hangu Pass, the road from Qin and Yan Qi, the road from Qin and Wu and Yue, and the road from Qin and Chu and Yue.

In addition to the three main roads above, in order to fight against the Huns, the First Emperor ordered Meng Tian to build a straight road from Guanzhong to Jiuyuan. This is a road that opens across mountains and landscaping when encountering valleys. It is not circumcision or circumcision. It goes straight north from Guanzhong to Jiuyuan.

The great way, so it is called a straight road. In addition to the straight road itself, it also represents the spirit of the Qin Dynasty following the Zhou system. Zhou once had a straight road.

The song "Poetry? Xiaoya? Dadong" says: "The way of the Zhou Dynasty is like a thorn, and its straightness is like a arrow." It sings the ancient kingly way of the Zhou Dynasty.

When the world was pacified, Emperor Shin-Emperor couldn't wait to carry out two huge wars, the battle between the Baiyue in the south and the Xiongnu in the north. Among them, Meng Tian attacked the Xiongnu in the north, and at that time the Jiuyuan straight road had not yet been completed.

The main force of the Qin army that fought against Baiyue in the south was divided into three groups. The army was divided into three groups. The army took the Qin and Wuyue road, with the Hangu Pass road as the contact point in the north, and the Yingshou (Shouchun) road in the Chu State in the south as the turning point, and the southeast passed through the southeast

Dantu, Wuzhong, passed Zhenze's south bank, entered Kuaiji County, and then went south to enter the Minyue area.

Another large army took the Qin-Chu-Quan Road, starting from the Hangu Pass in the north, passed through Luoyang, Xinzheng, Anling, and then passed through the old Chu-Chen City and Ruyin, arrived at the old Chu-Cun City Yingshou (Shouchun), and then headed south to cross the south.

Hengshan County, Changsha County, crossed Wuling to Nanhai County, and then arrived at Guilin County. This road is south of Wuling, and was called Yangyue New Road at that time.

In the original history, when the remnants of the six countries were surging and raised the banner of anti-Qin, due to the chaos in the Central Plains of Qin, Zhao Tuo, the Nanhai Weiwei, blocked the Qin and Chu and Guangdong roads, and eventually wandered outside the Chu-Han dispute.

The army that led the Qin army to the south to fight Baiyue, as mentioned in the previous article, was mainly the surrendered Chu army to move south. Therefore, when Tu Sui was the main general to fight south in 219 BC, he mainly took the two front roads.

With Tu Sui's death and the failure of the first southern expedition, the First Emperor made a decision on the construction of the Lingqu Canal in the southern expedition. Then Ren Xiao led his troops south again and finally pacified Nanyue in 214 BC. And during Ren Xiao's expedition, there was a large army.

It was from Zhi County, Bajun, and along Wujiang, he passed Qianzhong County to Xing'an County near Guilin in later generations, and then went through Lingqu to attack Nanyue.

Similarly, it was the year when the Lingqu construction was completed that Emperor First Emperor finally pacified Nanyue and formally incorporated the vast Nanyue land into the territory of China for the first time. From then on, there was no territory that left China again.

The route that Zhang Han's army is now taken by the first emperor's army in the south expedition.

However, the more than a thousand miles from Zhixian County to Lingqu, Guilin County, has no road at all. It was entirely caused by more than 100,000 old Qin people who set out from Bashu, who used their feet to step on countless mountains and ridges.

A road that comes out.

After the pacification of Nanyue, Emperor First Emperor moved hundreds of thousands of old Qin people into Nanyue to stabilize the foundation of Nanyue and assimilate the barbarians of Baiyue. On both sides of this avenue, there were no less than 100,000 old Qin tribes buried. Among these people, there were no less than 100,000 old Qin tribes.

A strong man has soldiers, old and weak, and women and children.

Countless old Qin people stepped out of this avenue that pacified Nanyue with their feet.

After several years, Zhang Han led 150,000 emperors' personal army to Hu Ben, and walked again on this ancient road that was completely opened up by the old Qin people with blood and sweat. What he did was different.

Every day, the letters and newspapers of Zhang Han's army moving forward would be delivered to Hu Hai's bronze case on time. While Hu Hai was paying attention to the Battle of Pingchu, he did not give up his attention to Zhang Han's army at all.

In fact, the Qin Dynasty pacified Nanyue, except for the long journey, mountains, high forests and dangerous roads, the most difficult thing to adapt to was the humid and hot climate in South Vietnam, Yunnan and Guizhou. After all, the climate in Guanzhong is very different from that in South Vietnam.

Every day, Zhang Han's letters and reports from all the way to Hu Hai will report all the things he saw along the way. This is Hu Hai's request. With the current conditions of the Qin Dynasty, if Hu Hai wants to go to Nanyue in the south, there will be no one.

It is simply impossible to have a year or two.

Now that the Qin Dynasty had just passed the critical moment of war, Hu Hai did not have so much time for him to squander. He is not the First Emperor yet, and he can only conquer this huge world by himself.

Zhang Han's letter, waiting for Hu Hai, took Hu Hai and walked along this ancient road that was covered with the blood and sweat of the old Qin people.

Marching in the land of South Vietnam, every day you see endless mountains, vast trees, dark green that never fades, and pouring rain will come from time to time.

When I first entered this ancient road, the soldiers of the Huben Army who lived in Guanzhong since childhood were still surprised by the apes and tigers roaring all over the mountains, and were still intoxicated by the emerald green that could not be seen in Guanzhong this season.

But after more than ten days of long and boring march, no one was surprised by hearing the roar of tigers. No one who walked for more than ten days could see no trace of people, and would not be visually tired, except for seeing the robes around him.

This is a boring and long journey!

Every day, we will find bones that have long been weathered and broken when they touched. After more than ten days of marching, the most common thing the Hu Ben Army soldiers did was to dig open-air white bones solemnly buried them.
