A cavalry of more than 2,000 men walked slowly on the wide road, and in the middle of the cavalry was a huge carriage drawn by four horses, although it was not flagged, but the importance of this carriage could be known just by looking at these fierce cavalry.

This is the car of King Gao Yuan, the supreme controller of the Great Han Kingdom, and at this moment, he is running on the road to the county seat of Jiangdong County. The Han army that attacked several ways was overwhelming in the territory of Chu State, advancing step by step, and the high-level of Chu State misunderstood the situation, so that they completely lost the opportunity, and the 200,000 troops led by Qu Wan were blocked in the south of Qin State and could not return, which became the last straw that crushed the camel, even though the Chu State Imperial Court issued a national mobilization order, but from mobilization to assembly, and then to the movement to the designated place, it was a complicated process, during which a slight link went wrong, resulting in the collapse of the entire layout, And the logistics and supply involved are even more of a big problem. Although under the auspices of Huang Xie, the state of Chu has been committed to the reform of the rule of officials in recent years, but a huge ancient kingdom, want to establish an efficient government agency like the Han state in a short period of time, it is obviously impossible, in this national mobilization, the problem of redundant officials, low efficiency and discipline is exposed, often the army of a region has just been recruited, but the logistics grain, grass, weapons are not yet in place, and at this critical moment, the Han army has been like a tiger down the mountain to pounce. The young men who had just assembled were immediately dispersed again, either fleeing home, taking off their military uniforms, and becoming civilians again, or falling under the swords and guns of the Han army.

The speed of the fall of Chu was far beyond the imagination of the Chu court, which also put their preparations for war in a difficult situation, and the plan formulated by the Taiwei Mansion had not yet been distributed to various places, and news would come that the place had been captured. The plan was forced to be revised.

And this speed of advance is obviously a bit unexpected by the senior commanders of the Han army, their logistics supply also has problems, the big businessmen who are responsible for the supply and transportation of grain and grass, the speed can not keep up with the advance speed of the Han army, one by one complaining, the advance speed of the Han army actually stopped because of their own reasons. After all, it is a very dangerous thing to fight in an enemy country, and in the case of not being able to guarantee logistical supplies, it is a very dangerous thing for a large army to advance.

This unexpected pause gave the Chu court a rare respite.

It was in this situation that Gao Yuan went to Jiangdong County, and this attack on the Chu State involved several military regions, the first and second military regions, as well as the Young Guards Army and the Inland Water Division, and there was no subordinate relationship between these troops. There was not much experience in mutual cooperation beforehand, and in the course of this assault, many problems still arose, and there were even contradictions between the two different subordinate units. When these exposed problems were fed back to Gao Yuan, he realized that he had to rush to the front line, and the first stage of the battle with Chu was basically over. And in the second stage, the Han army will face some real difficulties. The vast territory of the Chu State gave them enough strategic depth, and the intelligence showed that at least 500,000 troops had been assembled in Jingzhou, where the capital of the Chu State was located.

Qu Chong and Huang Xie are rare smart and wise ministers in this world, and the Chu-Han War has been fought until now, and they know very well that if they want to divide their troops to compete with the Han army in various places. It can only be a typical refueling tactic, how many people are sent out, it will only add more combat merits to the Han army, rather than this, it is better to finish the battle. Gather all the forces that can fight, and have a general battle with the Han army in the Jingzhou area, and if you win, you will live, and if you lose, you will die.

The carriage walked on the road, almost silently, the road is poured with cement, smooth and smooth, in recent years, the cement pouring technology from the Han State to the Chu State is extremely effective for improving the road condition, so it is very popular in the Chu State, with the popularization of cement manufacturing technology in the Chu State, it also makes the road of the Chu State quickly change from the previous sunny day to the gray, rainy day under the condition of mud. Of course, at the outbreak of war, this also became the culprit of the enemy's rapid advance. This kind of cement road is extremely difficult to destroy in a short period of time.

When this technology was popularized to the Chu State, the high-level of the Han State had already made this idea, of course, there were some cutting-edge construction technologies such as steel bridges, and the spread of this technology that was criticized in the country at that time, at least in the current view, was a great help to the Han army, even at that time, it also greatly promoted the great development of the steel industry of the Han State, because the extremely high strength of the steel required to build the bridge, the Chu people themselves could not produce it, and could only buy it from the Han State.

The state of Chu is located in the south, there are many rivers, when countless steel bridges lie across the rivers, when the Han army arrives, it becomes their unimpeded smooth road.

The generals of the Han army were worried that the Chu people would destroy these bridges, after all, under the situation that both sides have mastered the explosive technology, no matter how good the bridges are, they can't stop the explosion of explosives with a sufficient amount of explosives, but what makes the Han army happy is that the Chu people actually did not destroy any bridges, or these bridges that cost them a lot of money make them unbearable to blow them up like this, right?

The carriage that Gao Yuan rode in was a large integration of the latest vehicle technology in the Han Kingdom, and the interior was extremely spacious, enough to sit more than five or six people, of course, now only he and Ning Xin were seated, this carriage, in the long journey, was not only Gao Yuan's resting place, but also his office. Shock absorption technology, roller technology, and rubber tire technology have been further developed, so that this carriage can hardly feel any bumps when walking on concrete roads. With the advent of explosives, grenades and other powerful weapons, the carriage has undergone another major change in security, and now the entire outer wall of the carriage is hung with an armored shell, which makes the weight of the carriage almost double.

Inside the carriage, Gao Yuan was looking at the battle report of the Battle of Shanyang sent by Guo Laofu, and on top of his hand, there were two suicide notes from Tan Feng, one for him and one for Ning Xin.

Ning Xin did not open the letter, but tilted her head sideways, all the while watching the scenery outside the window. In Jiangdong County in autumn, the scenery along the way is still very pleasant, but Gao Yuan is very clear that Ning Xin at this time is afraid that she is looking at these scenery with her eyes, but her mind is completely elsewhere.

Putting down the battle report in his hand, Gao Yuan picked up the letter that Tan Feng wrote to himself, opened it, and the content of the letter was extremely short, just a few lines.

Admire!

Congratulations!

Regret not being at the beginning!

It's a simple eight words, but it contains too much information. Presumably when Tan Feng wrote this letter, his inner emotions were extremely complicated, he admired his achievements, congratulated himself on his upcoming domination of the world and became the co-master of the world, and regretted not at the beginning, I am afraid that he regretted that he was in Yishui River, he should not save himself, if he died in Yishui River, all the things that followed would not have happened.

Gao Yuan shook his head, such a person is both pathetic and admirable, even before he died, he had not lost his arrogance.

"Won't you read the letter that Tan Feng gave you?" Gao Yuan put down the letter in his hand and asked Ning Xin softly.

"Don't look at it!" Ning Xin shook her head slightly, picked up the letter, and tore it to pieces slowly, but very resolutely, her hand stretched out from the window, and a gust of wind blew, and the confetti on her hand was blown away from her hand like snowflakes.

Gao Yuan reached out and grabbed Ning Xin's hand, and asked in a low voice, "Sentimental?" ”

Ning Xin smiled at Gao Yuan, her face was slightly pale: "I didn't feel much joy when I heard that he was finally dead, but I thought more about the early years, Tan Feng was eight years older than me, so all along, he appeared by my side as a protector." I remember the year he got married at the age of 20, and I was still crying. ”

Gao Yuan laughed, "It's normal for a little girl who is just beginning to fall in love with a promising young man who is handsome and chic, and has a successful career." ”

"Later, his wife died, and I grew up at that time, and many people thought that we would be a match made in heaven, but at that time, I had admiration for another person in my heart."

"That must be me!" Gao Yuan laughed.

Ning Xin glanced at Gao Yuan with pride, "You also know what happened later, I have always thought that I hated him without experience, but now that he is really dead, there is something strange in my heart." ”

"You're a good girl!" Gao Yuan patted Ning Xin's hand, "You always can't help but think of the good of others, and ignore his hatefulness, people die like lights out, and now you think of his over-expectations for your kindness, it's too normal." By the way, Zhang Yi also wrote a letter, Tan Feng stayed with his family in Jiaocheng, and he had been escorted back to Jicheng, so what should I do? What do you think we should do? ”

"Tan Feng's eldest son is already sensible." Ning Xin thought for a while, "It's obviously not appropriate to leave them on the mainland, let's send them to Fusang, isn't the infantry husband and wife there?" It would be good to leave the infantry to take care of them, because if the infantry is there, there will be no one who can bully them, and second, there will be no chaos in the future. ”

"Well, let's do it then!" Gao Yuan nodded. "Zhou Yu has returned to Jicheng, ready to be a small boss, Tan Feng is dead, and my two biggest enemies in Yan Country back then have officially ended up ringing gongs."

"There's one last one left!"

"You mean Lu Chao?" Takato smiled. (To be continued.) )
