In the spring and January of the twenty-second year of Qin Wangzheng, the east wind thawed, the stinging insects began to vibrate, the fish were on the ice, the otter sacrificed the fish, and the wild goose came.

On the outskirts of Fangcheng County, standing on the grass where the snow was about to melt, Heifu pulled his hard bow into the shape of a full moon and aimed his arrows at the flock of geese returning north in the sky. After taking a few breaths, the hand loosened and the arrow left the string!

Although his posture was already full, his accuracy was 108,000 miles away, and he didn't even shoot a goose feather......

"Hahaha, the archery of the head of the Heifu Pavilion also shoots the green head, and wants to shoot down the goose? Forget it. ”

Gong Ao on the side sneered, but when he shot at the geese with his own bow, he also missed. The two of them were entangled in the wild geese here, but they found nothing, but Xiao Tao and Dongmen Leopard had already returned with two mallards.

Heifu and they arrived in Fangcheng County, Nanyang County as early as the beginning of the month, the weather was not very good this year, and the entire north encountered heavy snowfall, and the snow was two feet five inches deep, so the prisoners from Nanjun were required to stand by in Fangcheng in place.

Fangcheng is not a city, but a "Great Wall". As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, in order to prevent the chariots of Zhuxia from driving south, the Chu State built many square walled cities on the lofty mountains around the Nanyang Basin, which were mainly square cities and had defensive functions, which were called square cities. In the Warring States period, these walled cities were connected with stone or mound walls, forming the Great Wall of Chu that stretched for more than 300 miles, which was like a "gate" character, guarding the northern border of Chu State.

Fangcheng County is the east entrance of this square Great Wall.

But since Nanyang County was captured by the Qin State, Fangcheng has become an outpost of the Qin army to attack the Chu State, and this time to attack Chen Cai to the east, the army set off from Fangcheng County. The camp left by the Vachu army stationed here last year has become a ready-made shack for the prisoners who arrived later.

Because of the rain and snow, Heifu and their on-site stationing lasted for a whole month, and they were idle anyway, so Heifu and his men continued to pick up weapons and practice. Especially his shortcomings, archery, have also been strengthened under the guidance of Xiao Tao. However, he can only do more than ten steps of the arrow without missing the shot, and no matter how far he goes, he will miss the head, as for the difficult operation such as shooting geese, it is too difficult for him.

Yan County's thief Gong Ao and the guards he escorted also lived next to Heifu and them, although Gong Ao's mouth was a little lacking in morality, and from time to time he also said some strange things about the Qin State government, but everyone was a fellow villager in Nanjun, and they didn't have much contact on weekdays. From time to time, they also made appointments to leave the camp to shoot birds and improve the food of the soldiers.

When everyone returned to the vicinity of the garrison wall, Ji Ying and Bu Cheng had already squatted beside the earthen stove and boiled water, and when everyone worked together to pluck the feathers of wild animals, Lixian, who had gone to the county town to buy salt, also came back and told Heifu a piece of news.

"Pavilion Chief, another group of soldiers and prisoners have arrived in Fangcheng, I asked, and said that they came from Nanzheng, Hanzhong County."

When Heifu heard this, he thought thoughtfully.

"Nanzheng is far enough away from here, even Nanzheng's soldiers have arrived, this is probably the last batch."

For more than a month, the soldiers and prisoners had nothing to do here to avoid the wind and snow, but a lot of big things happened in the world!

First of all, in mid-November, Chen Ying, who had been besieged by the Qin army for a long time, surrendered to the Qin state. It is said that the former prime minister of Qin, Changping Jun, persuaded him to surrender, but unfortunately the history of Heifu is half-baked, and he knows several historical celebrities who fought between Chu and Han, but when Qin Shi Huang was the prime minister, he knew a Lu Buwei and a Li Si. The name of Xiong Qi, the king of Changping, is really unheard of, and he doesn't know about his complicated relationship with the royal families of Qin and Chu.

Chen Ying, as the capital of Chu and an important town in the north, after the fall, the king of Chu, who had been frightened by the Qin army, suddenly became a frightened bird, and despite the opposition of Xiang Yan and others, the main battle faction in the country, hastily negotiated peace with the Qin State.

After the usurpation of the throne, the king of Chu, who had not yet stabilized the interior, promised to cede Chen Ying, Shang Cai, and the area west of Qingyang south of the Great River to the Qin state in exchange for peace.

When the news of the truce between Qin and Chu came, the soldiers of Anlu County were very happy, they were recruited for this war, and now that the war is over, I think everyone will be able to disband and go home soon.

Fortunately, the others wore out a lot of shoes when they walked, but they also saw a big city like Wancheng in Nanjun, and felt that the trip was worthwhile. Only the always belligerent Dongmen Leopard is impatient, counting it, his wife is almost in labor, and Dongmen Leopard is in a hurry to go home and hug his son......

But Heifu poured cold water on everyone and told them not to be too optimistic.

"The war with the State of Chu has stopped for the time being, but the battle is far from over, and it is still early before the day we disband and return home!"

Heifu has already figured out the intention of the Qin State to attack Chu this time: one of the purposes of the Qin army's attack on Chen Ying is to knock the Chu State and make the King of Chu cut off the heart of indulgence.

The second purpose is to control the chasm, which is the canal dug by King Wei Hui to connect the Wei capital Liang and Chen Ying, and is the most important communication line between Liang and Chu.

Therefore, Heifu guessed that next, the Qin army in the Chencai area would probably turn back to attack Wei, and these prisoners and soldiers were prepared for this war to destroy Wei......

His suspicions were confirmed, and Qin's war machine had no intention of stopping. Throughout December, a steady stream of soldiers and prisoners from Nanjun, Hanzhong, and Nanyang counties gathered in Fangcheng County.

Every day, new teams arrived and were arranged to rest in the old camp under the walls.

The number of prisoners and soldiers gradually increased from the initial few hundred to thousands, thousands, ten thousands, and tens of thousands...... Until the entire area of the inner side of the square city wall is ten miles long, it is densely covered with temporary shacks, and half of the sky is emitting black smoke when the morning food is cooking.

Heifu would meet these people when he went out, greet them, exchange food, and all of them spoke with different accents: the thick Chu accent of the Nanjun people was very cordial, and the accent of the Nanyang people could be understood if they spoke slowly. But those soldiers from Hanzhong, especially those with their hair and animal skins, and barbarian clothes, spoke obscure dialects completely unintelligible......

Heifu knew that what made everyone cross hundreds of miles and travel long distances to gather here was a document sent from Xianyang to various counties and counties, and what was engraved in the document was the will of the King of Qin!

Under the orders of the King of Qin, these people from different counties seemed to be small streams, which were manipulated by huge forces to converge together, and gradually merged into rivers and then into lakes.

The strength of Qin's control over the grassroots was vividly demonstrated when the war was approaching.

Sure enough, as Heifu expected, after the snow melted in spring at the beginning of January, everyone was gathered together, and the inside of Fangcheng stood densely, and for a while it was indirectly side by side and crowded.

According to Heifu's rough estimate, there are about 30,000 people, of which about 5,000 are from Nanjun, 10,000 from Hanzhong County, and 15,000 from Nanyang County.

The county lieutenants of Nanyang and Fangcheng, who were in charge of commanding these prisoners, climbed the wall and shouted to everyone. In this era, there were no loudspeakers, so only a few tall and fat soldiers could stand one at dozens of paces and pass them on in turn, so that the words of the county lieutenant could be heard everywhere.

"The Great King System said: The King of Wei began to submit to Qin."

"I have betrayed the alliance and want to attack Qin with Han and Zhao Yuxi."

"The widow wants to punish him with soldiers."

"Order Shaoshang to make Wang Ben and Chen Ying's division first."

"Nanyang, Hanzhong, Nanjun and other counties sent soldiers and prisoners to assist them."

"The prisoner and the soldier do his best to use his life, and if he is meritorious, he should be rewarded; Fu used his life, he was guilty, and the general and lieutenant were punished! ”

After the edict of the King of Qin was read, he read again the military orders and regulations that the prisoners must abide by. At this time, everyone, including Gong Ao, had already turned their heads to look at Heifu, and the meaning was obvious: "Heifu is right, he is really going to attack Wei!" ”

……

Early the morning of the second day after this assembly, the county lieutenants who escorted the prisoners ordered everyone to bury their pots and cook, and after a full meal, more than 30,000 people left their shacks, crossed the ancient Great Wall of Chu, and walked out of Nanyang County.

Because of the large number of people, when they left Fangcheng, they were divided into two parts, each part was about 15,000 people, and they took the two routes of Yingchuan County and Shangcai respectively.

"Hef, where do you think this is going?"

Heifu and the others walked on the Yingchuan line, and more than 10,000 soldiers and prisoners walked into a long snake on the long road, passing through towns and villages along the way, but they did not stop, and the speed was very hurried.

Ji Ying and the others were all from a small county town, they had never seen this big scene, and the county lieutenant who led them forward did not announce where the end was, so everyone was a little uneasy, Wei was so big, where would they be assigned to fight?

But Heifu knew.

"There's only one possibility."

He pointed to the northeast and said with a smile: "Big beam! ”

Daliang, the capital of Wei, the richest and most prosperous city in the Central Plains, where there are flowers, there are Xiongdu palaces, there are Wei knights, Xinling Zhiyi, Xuanhe Liang......

A huge war of annihilation will unfold there.

"I finally caught up."

Heifu sighed, he knew that he was still being swept into the tide of this great era, step by step, closer and closer to the center of the storm......

Although at this moment, he is just a small pavilion chief, but in this black wave, an inconspicuous small drop of water is thrown among tens of thousands of people, and it is difficult to find a trace.

But Heifu firmly believes that when the dust of the war settles, he will become one of the trendsetters in this great era of "six kings and four seas"!

Ride the wind and waves, stand to the waves!
