Chengyang had long since fallen into the hands of the Qin people.

The speed of the Qin attack was very fast, and because the distance between Nanyang County and Chen Capital was very close, the Qin army quickly attacked the Huaibei region from three directions, and the strategic intention was obvious, they wanted to force the king of Chu to move the capital, and by the way, cut off the direct connection between Chu and Korea, and avoid Chu from participating in the war of the Three Jin Dynasty again.

Jinyangyi is located in a small township near Chengyang City, there are less than 300 people in this township, they are all honest fishermen, and the officials here have long fled into Chengyang, leaving the helpless Chu people, the local concept of the Chu people is very strong, from the king of Chu to the bottom, it is so, so they rarely choose to go into exile like the Koreans, they are dead, and they will die in their homeland.

What is surprising is that the Chu people, who have a strong sense of locality, are the country that has moved the capital the most times.

The people in the township are hiding at home, shivering, the food has been hidden by them, hidden in a place where the Qin people can't find it, the Qin people's fierce name, they know, they don't know what kind of fate they will have when the Qin people come here, sometimes, compared to the disaster itself, the process of waiting for the disaster is more frightening and painful. They waited for three days, and finally, an army of Qin people arrived.

The old man in the township doctor was on crutches and went out alone to greet the Qin people. Anyway, he has lived for a long time, he is afraid of death, but he feels that compared to those young and strong children in the township, it is still his own death is the most cost-effective, when the old man of Chu State saw this elite soldier, there was still inevitable fear on his face, in front of him, there were about more than 500 Qin troops, they lined up the offensive formation, and a general stood at the front, looking at him fiercely.

The old man looked at them one by one, then bowed down to the general and said, "I don't know what the general's order is?" ”

The general looked a little irritable, pointed at the old man and yelled something, the old man couldn't understand what they were talking about, at this moment, another general came from the side, he walked in front of the irascible general, and reprimanded him with a face, then he looked at the old man with a smile, only to hear him say in Chu language: "Old man, please don't be afraid, we are the army of Qin, we will not hurt you." ”

Finding that he was able to communicate with this person, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, and he hurriedly said: "The people here are all civilians from the Chu State, and the officials have fled from here. If you need food, we can provide it for you, please don't hurt the people here. The old man said very eagerly, begging the generals, General Qin smiled and said seriously: "Please don't be afraid." ”

"We don't hurt anyone, we don't steal food, do you have a local household registration here?"

The old man looked at the Qin people in surprise, and then, he took these Qin people to the courtyard of the local officials, here, sure enough, there are still a lot of bamboo slips that have been dropped, it can be said that when the officials of the Chu State fled here, they did not take any bamboo slips at all, only took away their own wealth, but abandoned the wealth of the Chu State here, the Qin general stepped forward and looked at it a few times, although the simple household registration information of the Chu State did not satisfy him, but this is better than nothing.

Then the old man helped to call out the Chu people who were hiding in the house, the old man knew that if he angered the Qin people, no matter where they hid, it was useless, the Qin people simply counted the number of people, in the whole process, the Qin people did not kill them, nor did they rob their food, the Qin generals finished these things, and stayed here for another night, and the next day, the general called the old man over.

"In the future, this is Jinyangli, which belongs to Chengyang County... You come to serve as Lizheng, the so-called Lizheng, is to check the household registration...", the general of the Qin people seriously told him about the grassroots system of the Qin State, and then called a young man and said: "He is temporarily serving as the pavilion chief here, and the security of the surrounding three li belongs to him, if there is a thief or the like, you can find him, and he will not interfere in the matter of your spring planting..."

The old man just looked at the young man in surprise, he didn't understand at all, what the Qin people wanted to do, when he was young, he also fought against the Qin people, he knew the murderous nature of the Qin people, but now the Qin people... Why does it look so gentle? In order to make sure that the old man understood this, this Qin army stayed here for three days, and during these three days, not only did they not harm the local Chu people, but they even lived in the wilderness and did not rob their residences.

The Chu people were stunned, after three days like this, even the young children here dared to go to the side of the Qin people, the Qin soldiers were a little stunned, and the serious and rigorous soldiers looked at the children of the Chu State who were running around them, and did not say a word. More Chu people still haven't been able to let down their guard, they think that sooner or later the Qin people will have to do something with them, when the old man recited part of the Qin law in a daze, the general smiled and left here.

He took a few wagons, but left behind the money.

Before leaving, he gave the old man a bundle of bamboo slips, saluted him with a smile, and then left, and sent away these Qin soldiers who had not committed any crimes in the autumn, the Chu people were at a loss, what is the situation, the old man picked up the bamboo slips, the bamboo slips were written in Chu language, and the first article was written with a few big Chu characters, "The Book of Horse Clothes", the old man was stunned for a moment, and continued to read.

"Everyone in the world loves their relatives, is close to their own villagers, treats their countrymen at will, and hates people from other countries... And I'm not like that..."

In Chengyang County, the Qin people buried the city guards who committed suicide because of the defeat, pacified the local people, and even released those soldiers who were captured in the battle to defend the city, but they took away the slaves in the names of the nobles of the Chu State, and their retainers were all taken away by the Qin people. The Qin people were unusual, which made the people of the fallen Chu State very surprised.

They didn't kill the prisoners, they didn't slaughter the people of the Chu State, and it can even be said that they were even kinder than the soldiers of the Chu State, except that there were not many smiles on their faces, for a while, the Chu people forgot to resist... The Qin people quickly pacified the localities and stabilized a route for the Qin state to attack the Chen capital, and during these days, a bamboo slip called the "Book of Horse Clothes" became popular throughout the Chu state.

It is said that this was written by the Qin people, recording Ma Fujun's words and deeds, but unfortunately the deletion was a bit serious, but it only left a lot of thoughts about the unity of the seven kingdoms and being kind to others.

The soldiers of the Qin State who lived in Chengyang were a little confused, standing on the city, the soldiers looked into the distance, and then looked at the chief beside him, and asked in a low voice: "What is the chief.. There are people living in the city, so why do we still live outside? Shi Chang didn't squint, and said seriously: "This is the order of General Mengfu, and it is said that it is also the order of the king." ”

"But why did they give such an order?"

Shi Chang was a little angry, and he said, "When Tun Chang read out the "Book of Horse Clothes" last night, didn't you listen carefully? ”

The soldier was stunned for a moment, scratched his head, and said, "I listened, but I didn't understand either, besides, isn't this Ma Fujun our enemy?" ”

"You don't even read the horse service book, and you still want to be a Qin official in the future? Defend the city with peace of mind! ”

Shi Chang reprimanded him, and the two of them were speechless.

The soldier was stunned for a long time, and then said with a smile: "Actually... It's good now, and seeing a few young children from Chu playing today is like seeing my son..."

This time, the army of the Qin State opened the Chu State, Fan Ju gave Meng Ju a very strange order, not to kill the captives, the military merits of the prisoners are the same as the cut heads, along the way to appease the people in time, not to slaughter the Chu people for no reason, and to carry some Chu version of the deleted version of the horse service book, to be promoted to the entire Chu State, in short, Fan Ju gave him a lot of restrictions, Meng Ju was also confused, but thinking of the horse service book that has been very popular in the Qin State recently, he also understood Fan Ju's thoughts.

"Mafu Book" contains a variety of ideas, and even military theories, and Meng Fu is also very excited to read it, but the core of the whole book is still gathered on the unity of the Seven Kingdoms, and how to end the war, which is the so-called theory of one king in the world, according to the idea of Ma Fujun, there is only one king in the world, and when this king can treat everyone as his own people, the world can stop the war.

Fan Ju wants to use the content of the horse service book to reduce the resistance of the Chu people?

No matter what Meng Fu thought in his heart, Fan Ju's order still had to be carried out, although he didn't see any benefit, in the past, as long as it was a resisting city, he could kill the inhabitants here, so that the rear would be extremely stable, and no one would dare to attack their grain routes, under the high-pressure policy of the Qin people, the people in the occupied areas were honest, but now, without the implementation of the high-pressure system, there were attacks on the Qin people's grain routes and sneak attacks on the Qin soldiers who stayed behind.

The resistance of the state of Chu did not decline because of the benevolence of the state of Qin.

The young children of the Chu State looked happily at these soldiers of the Qin State, just their parents, looking at the eyes of the Qin people, but it was not gratitude, nor kindness, but a kind of deeply hidden hatred, in the face of these invaders, they could only hide their anger in their hearts, waiting for the opportunity for revenge. In the occupied areas, the Qin State appointed local moral and prestigious people to serve as lizheng and county commanders, so that they could lead the people to carry out spring planting, and not be delayed because of the war.

The Chu people continued to work on their own cultivated land, and the old men who were entrusted by the Qin people with important tasks stood on the edge of the cultivated land, and they couldn't figure out how they could suddenly become officials of the Qin State after fighting with the Qin people for decades? And the order of the Qin people also came down, in order to appease the people everywhere, it was allowed to reduce their taxes this year, and they only needed to pay a very small amount of grain this year, and the rest could stay.

In addition, the Qin people executed those fleeing Chu nobles, distributed the cultivated land under their names to the local people to cultivate, and allowed the people to buy and sell land freely, no longer for the nobles to farm, the Qin State has a very detailed local system, and has a very strong mobilization ability, in a short period of time, it has made detailed arrangements for the occupied areas, and even the officials have rushed to their positions in a very short time.

It can be seen that Fan Ju has indeed studied the horse service book thoroughly, and he has given the people in the occupied areas of Chu a better living environment than before, while the people of Chu are still in a daze at the moment, and they can only continue to work.

Maybe... Was it a bumper year?

Similarly, at this moment in Zhao State, the people also began to farm, the people of Zhao State learned that Ma Fujun was safe and sound, so they put their minds at ease and began to be busy with spring planting things, the officials are no longer as idle as before, even if they are members of the aristocratic group, at this moment they are trying their best to get the love of Ma Fujun, you know, Zhao Bao is not the leader of the Zhao noble group, Ma Fujun is their recognized head, Zhao Kuo is also surnamed Zhao... It is also a great nobleman who has the most food in Zhao.

It's Zhao Bao, Zhao Sheng's food together, and it's not as much as Zhao Kuo's...

Not only officials, but also many local nobles followed Zhao Kuo's actions and took out their own ploughing cattle to help the people... However, the most important thing may not be the support of these people, but some things of the people themselves, such as hope, the people of Zhao State are happily working in the fields, guessing this year's harvest, they no longer have to worry about whether their grain will be collected, and they don't have to worry about whether they will be called to the battlefield on the way to farming, because they now have horses to serve the king.

The farmland of Zhao State is full of laughter, this year, probably a bumper harvest year?

The timid people of Korea stopped fleeing, and under the leadership of the local officials, they returned to their hometowns and began farming, they were still very afraid, and they didn't know if the Qin people would come back, but they heard that Ma Fujun of Zhao State once again repelled Bai Qi, and this warlike Ma Fujun is now in Xinzheng, Ma Fujun can shelter them, and Ma Fujun's army never bullies them.

At this moment, Zhao Kuo in the palace of King Han looked at Xiang Xian in front of him, sitting in his place a little dazed, physically and mentally exhausted. The Qin State launched an attack in the spring planting season, and I don't know how many people are going to starve to death because of this incident, and after he came to this era, he has not stopped for a moment, can't he change something after all? Everyone is wailing, how can I save them?

I... What the hell did you do?

Zhao Kuo's eyes were full of confusion.

"I don't know why, they spread a lot of words and deeds about you in the Chu State... They did not kill the captives, nor did they mutilate the local people, and even quickly arranged for officials to divide the fields and lead the people of Chu to farm... Chunshenjun asked me to ask you: Do you... Already served the Qin State? ”

"Huh?"

Zhao Kuo raised his head suddenly.
