The next day, the king of Chu surrendered, and the state of Chu, which had been established for more than 800 years, was destroyed. The eldest son of Fusu worshiped the Xiong temple on behalf of the king of Qin, the ceremony was very grand, the people of Shouchun heard about it, and some people began to walk out of the house, when they saw the soldiers standing guard, one by one stood straight, and the patrolling Qin soldiers were neat and tidy, and they were in unison. The streets were orderly, and there was not a single smashing and looting, let alone robbery, and some people stuffed hard-boiled eggs into the arms of soldiers and were all refused. Qin Jun's iron-like military discipline immediately spread. The people also walked out of their homes, and the streets immediately became lively again.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Montenegro immediately selected 20,000 soldiers from each army to form a phalanx and hold a grand ceremony to enter the city. When the heavy cavalry, heavy infantry, bow and crossbow battalions, light barracks, mountain armies, women's barracks...... When the neatly aligned teams entered Yingshou, they immediately caused a sensation. The people have never seen such a military might, and the entire Yingshou City is boiling, and while people praise the military might of the Qin army, they also plant a brand of invincibility with the Qin army in their hearts.

The King of Qin took hundreds of civil and military officials to inspect the troops entering the city, and the King of Chu and many of his subordinates also watched the ceremony of entering the city, and their hearts were all shocked by the mighty military formation of the Qin army. King Qin said to the frightened and uncertain: "King Chu, Qin and Chu have been married for a hundred years, put down our arms, we are a family with blood relatives." The widow will do you good, and let you enjoy prosperity and riches. If you are not reconciled, the millions of sharp soldiers of Great Qin are waiting for you to be awarded the title of Tian Baijue! ”

As soon as King Qin's voice fell, all the soldiers of the Qin army shouted in unison: "Great Qin Wannian!" Ten thousand years of King Qin! ”

At the palace meeting, the King of Qin announced on the spot: "The land of Chu will be divided into Qianzhong County, Hengshan County, Chen County, Surabaya County, Jiujiang County, Yan County, Changsha County, Lujiang County, and Huiji County." Total abolition of slavery. The Qin Law was gradually introduced. "Among them, the Qin army of Changsha, Lujiang, and Huiji has not yet all occupied them, but in the eyes of King Qin, it is already the territory of Great Qin.

The old prime minister Wang Juan said: "Your Majesty, this time I have brought less than 2,000 scholars from Imperial University and Taojun University, and the shortage of officials in Chu is still huge. Can we select capable people from among the scholars of Chu and enrich them into the government at all levels. ”

"Military attachés are all selected from the army, and civil servants are selected from all the men in the world. This matter will be handled by the Prime Minister's Mansion in conjunction with the National Governor's Office! King Qin said.

"No!" Wang Juan and Wei Yu responded at the same time.

He took a weak step forward and said to King Qin Shili: "My king, according to the report of the Black Ice Terrace, there are a large number of anti-Qin Qingxia who fled to the Qi country under the banner of the four princes of the Warring States Period. There are also some who take the waterway and prepare to flee to Liaodong, in order to persuade the king of Yan to oppose Qin and fight against Qin together with Qi. Whether to send someone to chase and kill, I hope that my king will defend it. ”

"No need, hundreds of wandering rangers can stop me from a million sharp soldiers? The widow was trying to see if Yan Wangxi cherished the peace and wealth that the widow gave him. King Qin said contemptuously.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, the king of Qin left behind all the generals and lieutenants, and also summoned the old general Wang Jian from Julu. Montenegro knew at a glance that the King of Qin was going to use troops against the country.

King Qin waved away the maids and chamberlains around him, leaving only Zhao Gao, and said after everyone saluted: "The battle to destroy Chu, the overall situation has been decided, and the three counties of Changsha, Lujiang, and Huiji only need one general, and 100,000 soldiers can be pacified." The army should carry the power of victory, send troops to the whole country, and unify the world as soon as possible. What do you think? ”

Wang Jian said: "My Daqin has enough soldiers and food at this time, morale is flourishing, and there are no worries, it is a good opportunity to destroy Qi!" ”

Wei Yu said: "Although the Qi State has 600,000 armored soldiers, it has not fought for forty-five years!" Now we only need to garrison Julu and Taojun to make a move eastward. Then order a general to lead a surprise soldier from Langya County to the south, attack it unprepared, and the battle can be decided. ”

"Good! The policy of the national captain is the plan of the superior! That's it. King Qin praised, "Who can be in command of this battle?" ”

After the destruction of Chu, Montenegro's prestige was in full swing, and it was already known as Xiaobai in the army. Although all the generals had the heart to fight for this main general, they all looked at Montenegro and no one spoke.

Since listening to Wei Yi's words before, Montenegro knew his situation very well, and when he saw that all the generals were looking at him, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, at this time, it is the plan of Daqin to employ people, and the last general should have stayed to share the worries of the king, but the minister has been away from home for more than a year, and he is very concerned about his wife and children at home. Please allow me to temporarily resign from my post as a false general and return to Xianyang to reunite with my wife and children. In the coming year, he will serve in the army again, and when the time comes, the king will let the last general command the troops to fight wherever he wants, and ensure that he will live up to the king's trust. ”

Montenegro's words were unexpected, and even King Qin didn't expect Montenegro to choose to take leave to go home at this time. After thinking about it carefully, I immediately understood that I didn't want to agree to Montenegro's request, but after thinking about it, it seemed to be the best choice to let Montenegro resign and return to Xianyang at this time. After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "Well, if I didn't bring you back this time, Xue'er would have to quarrel endlessly around the widow every day!" This time, I want to go east with the widow. You can go back to Xianyang with the widow first! Captain, the widow knows that you have the bottom in your heart, tell me, who should be the general of these armies? ”

Wei Yi shook his feather fan and said: "Meng Tian led the Julu army, Li Xin led the Taojun army, and Wang Ben led 100,000 iron horsemen from Langya County to the south. It's just that once Montenegro returns to Xianyang, who should be chosen by the commander of the Southern Chu army, please decide to the king. ”

"Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to lead an army of 100,000 and sweep away the three counties of Changsha, Lushan, and Huiji within half a year!" Wang Jian immediately took the initiative to ask for help.

"Old general, the weather in Nanchu is hot and humid, and there is a lot of smoke and miasma. Worry about whether your body can stand it! King Qin said.

"Your Majesty, the old minister's secret illness has been cured under the care of the imperial doctor! Besides, my old bones, nesting at home every day, but my back hurts and my legs hurt, as long as I step on the war horse, I will be a hundred times more energetic and will not be invaded by all diseases. Please, Your Majesty, grant permission. Wang Jian said.

"Good! The veteran is out of the horse, a top two! That's it. King Qin said happily: "The main general of Qi will be Meng Tian, and Li Xin and Wang Ben will be the deputy generals, and the troops will be sent to the Qi country immediately!" ”

……

After sending off the King of Qin and handing over the military affairs, it took two months for Montenegro to prepare for the return to Xianyang with 2,000 short soldiers.

Montenegro stepped on the dark clouds and stepped on the snow, and said to the meatloaf: "Let's go, let's take a detour to Pei County to see my apprentice Fan Xu!" ”

"The general wants to see Fan Xu, why bother to take a long detour? Send someone on a fast horse and let him wait for us in Tao. Meatloaf said.

"I heard that there is a tavern in Pei County, the wine is very good, and the proprietress is very beautiful. You and Zhang Jin and Daxiong will take a few people to follow me, and the others will go to Taojun City to wait outside, and when we arrive, we will go back to Xianyang together! Montenegro said.

So, the brigade took a straight line to the north, and Montenegro set off with several relatives to Pei County in the northeast. Along the way, officials can be seen everywhere leading the people to build roads, bridges and canals, and the faces of the people are full of happy smiles, and there is no sadness of losing the country at all.

Montenegro got off his horse and walked to a few people who were building the road, Shi Li asked, "A few old brothers, may I ask how far it is from Pei County?" ”

"It's not far away, and in front of you, you can see the south gate in a moment on horseback." A man over half a hundred years old said.

"Brother, I see that you are building roads for officials, and you are talking and laughing, is there any happy event?" Montenegro asked again.

"It's different now, our ancestors have been farmers for generations, and now we have our own surplus grain and fields, I am happy, and I am energetic in everything!" The old man laughed.

"If the family has their own land, they will have hope in the future. The people of Great Qin, everyone is equal, and there will be a long life in the future! Thank you very much! Montenegro turned on his horse again and galloped towards Pei County with his men.

At this time, Peixian was only a small city of more than 10,000 people. There are only two streets in the city that cross east, west, north and south, and you can see the four gates at the intersection. The streets are only sparsely populated with pedestrians, and they are very harmonious and quiet.

A few people in Montenegro didn't ask for directions, and while walking on the street, Xiao Hei suddenly ran forward from his side and went straight to the store in front. "Xiao Hei must have smelled the smell of Fan Xu, and it should be Fan Xu's meat in front of him." Montenegro said.

"I haven't seen him for a few years, Xiao Hei can still smell the smell of Fan Xu? Be careful that Fan Xu kills it and sells it as dog meat! Meatloaf replied.

As soon as everyone walked to the door of a meat auxiliary, Xiao Hei came out with a young man who was as strong as a cow, the young man was Fan Xu, he hadn't seen him for a few years, he was now tall and strong, he was very surprised to see Montenegro, and hurriedly bowed down, and said: "Fan Xu, meet the master!" ”

Montenegro hurriedly took a few steps forward, held Fan Hao with one hand, and said with a smile: "Okay! I haven't seen it for a few years, and I'm as strong as a cow! ”

After Fan Hao returned to Pei County, together with his father, he used the money funded by Montenegro to buy a house in the front store and backyard, and started his old business to sell dog meat one by one. Because they were old and young, they were righteous and righteous, and they quickly gained a firm foothold, and their lives were quite nourishing, and they made many friends, the only shortcoming was that his grandfather died a year after his return.

Everyone went to Fan Xu's house, saw Fan Da, chatted for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, Fan Xu said: "Master, it's getting late, there is an inn in Pei County, it's quite clean, and the wine and food are also good, just a bend from the street." Please Master, where will you be at night! ”

Hearing the hotel, Montenegro immediately remembered that the history books of later generations recorded that Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, had a good friend Cao who opened a hotel in Pei County, so he casually asked: "Is the owner of the inn a widow surnamed Cao?" ”

"Master is truly divine! The innkeeper is none other than the widow Cao. Cao Shi married the innkeeper at sixteen, and a year later, her husband died of an inexplicable illness! Cao's widowhood has just been three years, because of his appearance and the inn industry, so there is an endless stream of people who come to propose relatives. Who knew that Widow Cao's vision was quite high, and she didn't look at any of them, and she also let out a word, she would not marry unless she met the three conditions! Fan Xu introduced.

"What are the three conditions? Tell me about it! Montenegro asked curiously.

"If you are not a daughter, you will not marry, if you are not a Qianshi official, you will not marry, and if you are over forty years old, you will not marry!" Fan replied.

When Montenegro and the others heard this, they laughed and thought that this widow was interesting. Laughing and laughing, I arrived at an inn, compared with the Jishui family in Taocheng, this inn is not even as good as the guest house of later generations. There is a hall with two private rooms next to it with a screen, and there are three or five rooms upstairs. But it looks pretty neatly clean.

As soon as she entered the door, a red-clothed girl in her twenties, plump body and white skin immediately greeted her, with a professional smile on her face, and greeted warmly: "I said that the magpie is called all day and night today, it turns out that Fan Da brought distinguished guests to cheer up, and a few people will sit in the private room first!" ”

"Boss, this is my master, and she is also a well-known figure in Xianyang. I came to your store to eat wine today, but it gave you a lot of face, you have to let the guy show his housekeeping skills, good wine and good meat! Fan said loudly.

"Brother Fan, look at what you said, a few nobles are polite and elegant, and at first glance they are big names in the city, how dare my sister slack off? You just drink tea, and the other sisters will do it for you! Cao smiled and diligently poured a cup of tea for everyone.

Montenegro looked at Cao carefully, his age was similar to Fan Xu, his figure was convex and backward, and although his appearance was not a national color, he was also one in a hundred. According to historical records, the Cao family later became Liu Bang's old friend and gave birth to Liu Bang's eldest son, Liu Fei. Montenegro secretly thought, this woman and Fan Xu are a good match, if I match her and Fan Xu into a pair, maybe I can change the fate of Liu Bang, the true son.

"Handsome! Handsome! Montenegro was looking at Cao's family, thinking about how to match her and Fan Xu, but everyone thought that Montenegro was stunned by the beauty, and the meatloaf hurriedly shouted in a low voice.

Montenegro came to his senses at this time, knowing that he had just been rude, and hurriedly said when Cao Shi left: "I have learned to meet with the teacher, and the face of the proprietress and my apprentice Fan Xu today are a match made in heaven, if the two of you become husband and wife, the future wealth is limitless." ”

"Come on! Just now you were staring at other people's breasts in a daze, although this proprietress is beautiful, compared to the princess, there are still 108,000 miles! It's no wonder that after a year in the barracks, I feel sexy when I look at sows, let alone a big beauty? Zhang Jin decided that Montenegro was lustful and said sarcastically.

When they heard this, they all agreed with each other.

Montenegro didn't bother to pay attention to everyone, and said to Fan Da seriously: "I think this Cao family looks quite dignified, I will pay a dowry, are you willing to let Fan Hao marry her?" ”

When Fan heard this, his face immediately turned red, which was a little interesting. Fan Da said happily: "I just thought that the proprietress was handsome, and I never thought that Er'er could marry her as a daughter-in-law." I'm afraid that people may not necessarily look down on this rough person. ”

"Then let's find someone to ask! I don't know if this Cao family still has relatives and elders in Pei County? Montenegro asked.

"She also has a brother named Cao Shen, who serves as the head of the prison in the county government, and has a good relationship with me, so she will ask a guy to summon him to eat and drink." After Fan Xu finished speaking, just as the store guy served hot wine and food, he said to the guy: "Xiao Er, you immediately go to the county government and invite your Cao Ye to come over, just say that there is a distinguished guest coming, Fan Xu invites him to come over for a drink!" ”

"No, where are you? Cao has arrived! As soon as Fan Xu's words fell, a man in a black official uniform walked in and asked loudly. Seeing the few people present, all of them had extraordinary bearings, and hurriedly bowed their hands and said, "In Xia Cao Shen, I have seen a few guest officers!" ”

Several people from Montenegro also stood up and returned the salute. Seeing Cao Shen coming, Fan Xu happily introduced: "Brother Cao, I was about to ask someone to invite you, and you came." This is my teacher, and the others are my own brothers. Fan Xu didn't introduce the identities of everyone, if he did it truthfully, he wouldn't scare the people next to him to death.
