In early May, the news of Qin's defeat of Yan had been reported for several days. In the Huyang Pavilion, the soldiers who had no important cases to deal with were chattering about the matter while eating.
"I heard that Jicheng was captured in late March. It took more than a month for the news to reach Nanjun."
"I went to inquire with the heir. King Yan and Prince Dan escaped from the capital. The general sent a young general Li Xin, who was about our age, to pursue them all the way, forcing King Yan to kill his son.
Offer your head."
Tingzu Yuliang is not only illiterate, he has never left the northern part of Anlu County for most of his life, so he has no geographical concept at all about the Yan Kingdom and Jicheng. Listening to Dongmen Bao and Ji Ying chatting excitedly
After a long while, he asked calmly.
"Ting Pavilion Chief, how far is it from Jicheng of Yan State to Anlu?"
"It should be more than two thousand miles."
Heifu put down the bowl and thought for a while, probably because the distance between Hubei Xiaogan and the imperial capital in later generations was more than a thousand kilometers.
"Two thousand miles away!" Yuliang exclaimed. Even twenty miles seemed far away to him. Two thousand miles was simply unimaginable.
Heifu then told them that the world covers thousands of miles and is divided into nine states. Their southern county is located in Jingzhou, the state of Yan is located in Youzhou, and Guanzhong is located in Yongzhou.
He also corrected the mistake of Dongmen Bao and others who had always believed that the Yan State was due north of the Qin State. Who made Heifu the only one among everyone here who had seen a map of the country? His understanding of the location of geographical areas was comparable to
In this era, the ambiguous "south, east, north, and west" that most people use is much stronger.
At this time, everyone in Huyang Pavilion couldn't help but click their tongues in surprise. Li Xian was even more surprised and said: "The pavilion chief is younger than me and has never left Anlu. When talking about mountains and geography, he seems to be a well-informed elder.
"
Li Xian couldn't help being surprised. At this time, Ji Ying laughed without waiting for Hei Fu's explanation: "I know, Hei Fu's father and brother told him this. Do you still remember Hei Fu's brother Zhong? I heard that Hei Fu's brother Zhong told him this.
He went to the north when he was serving in the army, and after he came back, he taught Heifu a northern song. How to sing it? The wind is rustling..."
Heifu quickly stretched out his chopsticks, stuffed a piece of water chestnut into Ji Ying's mouth, and blocked his words with food!
The song "Song of Yishui" was written in the guest house half a year ago when he heard about Jing Ke's failure to assassinate the King of Qin. He casually passed it by, but unexpectedly Ji Ying still remembered it.
Although there were very few people in Nanjun who knew about Yi Shuige, it was still better to be cautious. Hei Fu decided that when he found the opportunity, he must tell Ji Ying not to mention that matter again! In case a "sympathizing assassin" fell in
Heifu cannot bear the charge of "."
At this time, everyone else had finished their meals. Pu Zhang, the father of the pavilion, stood up and put away the pottery bowls and wooden daggers. Everyone sat around and continued chatting, and the topic unknowingly turned to the wars in the past few years.
In the seventeenth year of the Qin Dynasty, the then Nanyang Governor was ordered to attack Han, seize the king of Han, take in all the Korean land, and establish Yingchuan County. For several consecutive years, the Qin State invested a large number of troops in the war to destroy the country.
In the 18th year, the king ordered General Wang Jian to attack Zhao. Wang Jian used a divisive plan to cause the death of Zhao's last famous general, Li Mu. He also led his army to raid Jingxing and swept across Zhao. In the 19th year, Handan City was broken and King Zhao was captured.
Only one young master was left, and he took hundreds of people from his clan and fled to Dai County on the edge, where he proclaimed himself King of Dai.
Last year, Jing Ke's assassination of the King of Qin triggered Qin's revenge on Yan. After half a year of fierce fighting, the capital of Yan was finally broken. Prince Dan died, and only the King of Yan fled to Liaodong County to survive.
The remaining troops of the Yan Dynasty were only a few thousand, no longer posing a threat to Qin, and they were located in a remote area. Therefore, the Qin army did not take advantage of the victory to pursue and destroy them, but asked Wang Jian to return the army to the court.
As a result, Qin has wiped out three of the seven great kingdoms in the world within five years. Even a blind person can see that Qin's annexation of the world is the general trend, so everyone is guessing, whose turn it will be next?
For the Qin people who have been engaged in the two occupations of "farming" and "war" all their lives, war is not far away, but closely related to their lives.
Those who have the courage and ability are happy to hear about the war and hope to make meritorious service and win titles; those who are unwilling to fight must also pay attention to where the war breaks out, because it involves whether they will be drafted into the army, so they can be mentally prepared.
"The Chu Kingdom will definitely be destroyed next! At that time, Anlu Dingzhuang will definitely be recruited!"
Dongmen Bao said firmly that he expected the same.
It's interesting to say that although these people were originally from Chu three generations ago, they now speak Chu sounds and have retained many customs and gods of Chu. However, ordinary people have long regarded themselves as their own people after fifty years of Qin law control.
As a Qin man, he regarded Chu as a foreign country.
The geographical location of Anlu County is very special. It is surrounded by Chu on three sides, facing Chu across Tongbai Mountain to the north, and the Dabie Mountains stretching for thousands of miles to the east. After the Dabie Mountains, it is the Huainan hinterland of Chu State, and Jiangshui and Yunmengze
The south bank is the Jiangnan region of Chu State, which is also Changsha and other places in Hunan in later generations.
In everyone's life, they are always on strict guard against Chu, so they usually regard Chu as their number one imaginary enemy.
"I don't think Chu will be destroyed first." Hei Fu smiled and shook his head: "Wei is still blocking the Central Plains, blocking the way for the army to go east. How can your Majesty avoid getting closer?"
Dongmen Leopard was dissatisfied: "Hei Fu, you also said that the Yan Kingdom is two to three thousand miles away in the northeast. Why don't we defeat Yan first?"
"That's because the Yan State sent an assassin and angered the king. How can the Qin State not avenge the insult of assassinating the king?"
Heifu dipped his finger in water, drew a simple map on the table, and explained: "Chu is different. Although it is a strong enemy of Qin, the main direction of attacking Chu is blocked by Wei. If you want to destroy Chu, you must first
If Wei is defeated, Wei will probably not survive next year, no matter whether it is war or surrender..."
"When the Wei Kingdom is destroyed, they will pass through Wei and attack Jingchu. At that time, the army will definitely march from Wei. Although Nanjun is adjacent to Chu, it is separated by mountains and rivers, making it difficult to cross. The troubled place of Tongbai Mountain
The fortress is a dangerous fortress that cannot be opened by one person, and the Dabie Mountains are even more inaccessible. Unless it is a building ship starting from Bashu, along the river, Yunmengze all the way to attack the south of the Chu Kingdom, otherwise it will not be possible from An
Lu sent troops..."
At this time, Hei Fu felt that something was not right in the atmosphere. When he looked up, he saw everyone staring at him in shock.
Li Xian was the most shocked. He thought to himself: "Did the pavilion leader really come from a poor family and never leave Anlu? At that time, I saw that he didn't even know the Ruo'ao family and was a little contemptuous. I never thought that he would treat Qianli
He knows the location of Yan and Zhao well outside the country, and he also clearly explained the order in which Qin will send troops to destroy the country in the future! Where did he learn it from? "
Several other people also looked at each other in confusion. What Heifu said was far beyond their understanding of those who came from a miserable background, so they couldn't understand whether it was right or wrong. They just didn't know how serious it was, and they admired Heifu even more.
Dongmen Bao, on the other hand, became worried: "If, as Heifu said, Anlu County is not the main direction for sending troops no matter what, then won't we have to miss this battle?"
In the past few days, listening to the story of General Li Xin's light cavalry chasing the King of Yan and winning the crown prince's head, Dongmen Leopard's blood was boiling. Unfortunately, the battlefield in the north was too far away and he couldn't catch up, but fighting against the Chu State was absolutely unacceptable.
If you miss it, this may be your last chance to make a contribution.
But Hei Fu reassured him: "The State of Chu is no better than Han, Wei, Yan, and Zhao. It has a vast territory and a vast army. It has always been the biggest enemy of the Qin State, and it has also been the leader of all the alliances. If the king wants to destroy Chu, I'm afraid.
The whole country is going to recruit troops. When the time comes, those of us who are the chiefs and minor officials of the pavilion will probably have to put on armor and go out with the army."
"That's good!"
Dongmen Leopard raised his palm, looked at Hei Fu and said: "When he was in service, Hei Fu was proficient in military training and led us to win the championship. Just now Hei Fu talked about military matters, and those military strategies seemed to be in your mind as well.
Generally speaking. In my opinion, with Hei Fu’s ability, he can become a general. When the time comes, we will follow you and make great achievements!"
"How can I be a general?" Heifu couldn't laugh or cry: "Xiao Shangzao, at most he is a village commander."
But Heifu also thought about it in his mind. Although the village commander was small and needed to charge into battle during the war, he still had fifty people under his command, which gave him a better chance of survival than ordinary soldiers.
If Wang Jian attacks Chu and recruits troops nationwide, the soldiers in Anlu County will be commanded by the county captain. Under the county captain, the organization is organized according to the hometown of the village. The pavilion chief is a ready-made military official. At that time, most of Heifu's subordinates are the ones in front of him.
People.
Although the status of Dongmen Bao, Xiao Tao, Ji Ying and Li Xian is not high, they each have their own strengths and abilities, and the corps commander is definitely enough.
If these few people can be used as the backbone to form an army, let alone survive, Heifu will even have the confidence to make more achievements! Looking for a good future after reunification!
"Should I use the excuse of preparing for the invaders and ask everyone to practice martial arts with me and prepare early?"
Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly, the father of the pavilion, Pu Zhang, ran in and said: "Pavilion Chief, someone is looking for you outside!"
"Find me?"
Hei Fu and everyone looked at each other, and then walked out of the pavilion together. When they came outside, they saw an old man with gray hair, holding a maroon horse, standing outside the pavilion. He was going to Blind Mountain with Hei Fu.
The "horse" that saves people.
Seeing the black husband coming out, Ju quickly bowed to him and said, "I have met the pavilion chief. He saved my daughter and sought justice for her. I have no words to thank you. I have a good horse now and I would like to offer it to the pavilion."
