"Chen Lang sit down for a while, I'll make you a cup of tea!" Shui gently turned around and went to the inner room, but was grabbed by Chen Xu's hand, "Don't be busy, gently, I have something to ask you!" ”

Shui nodded softly and gently before sitting down before asking softly, "Chen Lang, do you doubt the identity of this group of people?" ”

"Not bad!" Chen Xu nodded, "These people have unpredictable backgrounds, they all have Xianyang accents, and the old man surnamed Wang just now suddenly asked me if I knew how to march and fight, although I said no, he still asked me what to do if Daqin wanted to occupy the land of Lingnan Baiyue, I pretended to be drunk and covered up!" ”

"Chen Lang, this old man surnamed Wang is definitely not an ordinary person, although he disguised it well, but after getting drunk, his momentum was undoubtedly revealed, the kings and nobles of the six countries did not have this kind of domineering domineering, and several of his entourage were also swordsmanship masters, otherwise they would not dare to kill the tiger wolf, so this old man is likely to be someone next to the emperor!" The water is soft, the ice and snow are smart, and they have almost guessed the origin of Wang Jian and the others in one sentence.

"The surname is Wang, he is a person around the emperor, and he is full of domineering, he should not be an unknown person, it seems that tomorrow I will go to Pheasant County to ask Jiangbei Pavilion!" Chen Xu frowned, pressed his temples with both hands, and sat for a while at this time, he was a little drunk, and felt dizzy for a while.

Shui stood up softly and walked behind Chen Xu, stretched out her tender hands and gently rubbed his temples and said, "If I guessed correctly, this person should be Wang Qian!" ”

"Who?" Chen Xu stood up suddenly, turned his head and stared at the water softly, and most of the alcohol in his body instantly dissipated.

"In Daqin, he dares to call himself a general, and his surname is Wang, Rou guesses that it is Wang Qian, the general who destroyed the Three Jin Dynasty and the Five Kingdoms of Yan and Chu, although Rou has never seen Wang Qian, but according to some situation analysis, it is estimated that there is a chance that there will be nine times out of ten!" The water whispered softly.

Wang Jian ...... Wang Jian ......" Chen Xu was dumbfounded, reading the name in his mouth, feeling that his mind was blank, and then the image of a military general in armor slowly emerged from the depths of his mind, and the life deeds of Wang Jian were gradually outlined.

"This is an old killer!" After a while, Chen Xu finally slowly came to his senses, sat down on the chair with a muttered ass, and said with a wry smile on his face, "No wonder he asked me about the conquest of Lingnan, it seems that he came prepared." ”

"Chen Lang is saying that His Majesty the First Emperor is preparing to attack the Yue clan in Lingnan?" Shui asked softly in surprise.

"Hehe, it's not that I think, I should have started planning a long time ago!"

Chen Xu sat on the chair, his fingers lightly tapped on the table and made a clicking sound, the expression on his face became more and more solemn, and he began to think about how to deal with Wang Qian's matter.

During the day today, Chen Xu was a little suspicious when he got some things about the Xianyang Dynasty from Wang Qian's mouth, but he definitely did not associate this old man with Wang Qian, the general who swept through the Six Kingdoms, but at present, the identity of this old man is almost clear at a glance, and at most he will go to the county seat of Pheasant County to verify it with Jiangbei Pavilion.

And thinking of Jiang Beiting's abnormal reaction after seeing the old man yesterday, this answer affirmed three points.

Although Jiangbei Pavilion has a small official position, but as a famous family has been living in Xianyang, the eldest brother Jiang Heng is also a doctor in Taizhong above the court, he must know Wang Qian, who is known as the god of the Great Qin Army, even if there is no intersection on weekdays, but every time the division returns to the dynasty after winning the battle, the whole Xianyang City will line up to greet him.

"No wonder Jiang Chuyue's little lady looked at me differently yesterday, it turned out to be because of the majesty of this old killer!" Chen Xu couldn't help but smile bitterly from the bottom of his heart.

"Chen Lang, drink some herbal tea to quench your thirst!" While Chen Xu was pondering, Shui gently poured him a cup of herbal tea and gently placed it in front of him, and then sat down quietly on the opposite side, looking at his serious face with a pair of beautiful eyes without blinking.

The conquest of Baiyue is an immortal feat made by Qin Shi Huang for China.

At this time, the Lingnan region, including Hunan, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Vietnam, Yunnan and other places, is almost completely barbaric, where there live very different from the Central Plains Tu people, surnames are completely different from the Central Plains, so they are called Yue people, and according to different regions, there are different titles, such as Wu Yue, Yang Yue, Min Yue, Nanyue, etc., and Yue in the ancient text through Guangdong, the later generations of Cantonese are based on this, Lü Buwei in the "Lü Spring and Autumn Period" these races are collectively called Baiyue, to the present time of the Great Qin, It has become a fixed pronoun.

The Lingnan of the Qin and Han dynasties does not refer to the Nanling region in later generations, that is to say, it does not specifically refer to Yunnan and Guizhou, but the general name of the southern mountains of the Chu State, which is the watershed of the Yangtze River and the Pearl River and the surrounding mountains. Among them, there are five major southward marching routes, and five strategic stations related to them are highlighted and called Wuling, namely Yuecheng Ridge, Du Pang Ridge, Mengzhu Ridge, Qitian Ridge and Da Yu Ridge.

Now there are a large number of border soldiers hoarded in the Wuling area, not only to guard against the attack of the barbarian Yue Tu people, but also to prepare to drive straight from the south of Wuling to the bridgehead in the south, as long as Qin Shi Huang gave an order, hundreds of thousands of troops will continue to enter the hinterland of the Yue people from the Wuling Pass, and launch a fierce war to expand the territory.

And this war to conquer Baiyue is not destined to be smooth sailing.

The land of Lingnan is very different from the situation in the Central Plains, not only the terrain is rugged and the mountains are undulating, the river network is dense and the forests are extensive, but also the hot summer, humid and rainy all year round, coupled with mosquitoes, snakes, beasts and inaccessible swamps and forests are full of miasma, for the Qin army, which is accustomed to using large-scale horse infantry and ordnance to attack the confrontation in the Central Plains, it is difficult to pursue the monkey-like mountain natives in the high mountains and dense forests.

Therefore, from the perspective of the right time, place and people, Daqin almost does not occupy the same, although the soldiers in armor are brave, although Qin Yu is domineering, although the soldiers are killed, but this battle, Chen Xu is clearly aware that from the beginning of the war, the 500,000 Qin soldiers led by the generals Tu Sui and Zhao Tuo invaded the Liangguang region in five ways, although it went smoothly at the beginning, and the momentum was like a bamboo to capture the Panyu regions in Guangdong, but because the terrain was not familiar, the terrain was unknown and the climate was not adaptable, under the attack of the Yue people, it soon fell into a stalemate, and the Qin army was not only cut off from the grain road, and even the general Tu Sui was killed in battle.

The first conquest of Baiyue entered a protracted phase of stalemate at the cost of the commander being killed and more than 100,000 Qin troops died, and the confrontation lasted for three years, the Qin army suffered heavy losses, and the soldiers were miserable.

In the past three years, not only the army has suffered heavy losses, but also mobilized millions of people to build bridges in the mountains and rivers, but also to transport grain, grass, ordnance and other support materials, and the people have also suffered heavy casualties, and because a large number of people cannot cultivate the fields and plant, the consequence is that the grain is more and more unable to be helped, a large number of peasant families have fallen into a state of abject poverty, under the oppression of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, countless peasants have gone bankrupt, and the people have begun to accumulate a large amount of resentment.

Although the Ling Canal was dug later to solve the food crisis on the front line, and finally succeeded in incorporating the vast Lingnan lands into the imperial territory, but this war spanning nearly five years also almost dragged down the Great Qin, in order to stabilize the south, Qin Shi Huang has twice replenished the army, before and after the use of nearly one million troops, and after the war, most of the soldiers stayed in the Lingnan Zhudi garrison, and the local Yue people intermarried and had children, although this move brought advanced agriculture and industry into it, and made a great contribution to the stability of the south, But also lost a large number of brave and warlike soldiers, resulting in the later Qin Shi Huang death, the national uprising in the Qin State did not have enough troops to suppress the uprising, only relying on the Tunshu Great Wall of the northern soldiers, but far from quenching the thirst, and the force is also seriously insufficient, in the uprising that swept the country and the impact of the restoration forces of the Six Kingdoms, so the Great Qin was soon finished, Zhang Han led the 200,000 Qin army was killed by Xiang Yu after the fall of Chu, and the death was very miserable.

These materials flashed in Chen Xu's mind like a marquee.

As China's first unified empire, the great significance of this war is undoubted, but the war to conquer Lingnan can be regarded as the heaviest straw that dragged down Great Qin, and both the military and the people's hearts were almost exhausted in this war.

Chen Xu sat on the edge of the table like a wood carving, and the room became darker and darker, and he could only see his face twitching lightly from time to time, and his fingers occasionally tapping on the table like uncontrollable nerves.

"Chen Lang, do you know how to march and fight?" Shui gently and gently held Chen Xu's hand and asked with concern.

"Hehe, I don't understand!" Chen Xu shook his head with a wry smile on his face.

"Then why bother with it, wouldn't it be better to refuse directly?" Shui said softly.

Chen Xu looked at Shui's soft and beautiful cheeks, sighed and shook his head again: "It's really easy to refuse, but the emperor's battle to conquer Lingnan is imminent, either next year or the year after, the so-called pull a hair and move the whole body, as long as the army moves, the production of the entire Daqin and the lives of the people will be disrupted, and this battle is not destined to be smooth sailing, if it drags on for three or five years, you should know the consequences!" ”

"Three years and five years......" Shui was stunned for a moment, and nodded after being silent for a long time, "Chen Lang is right, if it drags down for three years and five years, I am afraid that it will shake the foundation of Great Qin, hundreds of people's wives will be separated, and countless households will be displaced, but you don't know how to march and fight, how can you solve this problem?" ”

"There is a way to crack it, but I'm afraid Qin Shi Huang won't listen, so this is a problem, Wang Jian came here to inquire about the conquest of Lingnan, it must not be his own doing, a careless, I will fall into the land of death, gentle, you will return to Wancheng in two days, help me find a mountain and sea classic to send over, I have a lot of use!" Chen Xu said as he held the water softly.

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas?" Shui was confused by Chen Xu's sudden turn, and her beautiful eyes were wide, and her face was full of surprise.

"Yes, the Book of Mountains and Seas, to be a full version, the older and more detailed the better!"

Chen Xu stood up and walked a few steps back and forth in the room and continued: "The current Great Qin is not suitable for such a protracted large-scale war, and the harm in the Lingnan region is far less than the threat of the Xiongnu in the north, if I can persuade Qin Shi Huang to first go north and then south, and first take the Hetao lands south of the Yellow River, then I will get a huge and natural horse grazing field, and at the same time, I will also get a large number of cattle and horses to supplement the Central Plains, and these cattle and horses can be allocated to the households to speed up the planting speed and scale of farmland, only about three years, Daqin's grain output will increase several times, once the grain is sufficient, the people's hearts will be stable, and two or three years of preparation, you can also find out the situation of Lingnan more clearly, ordnance, cattle and horses will also get a great reserve, maybe I can also study more and better equipment according to the knowledge of Tiangong, and can also guide Xu Fu to research more and better medicines, then the Lingnan expedition will definitely have the effect of half the effort, and the soldiers and civilians will not have much loss, even if they enter a protracted confrontation, as long as the food and ordnance are replenished in time, The wounded were treated in time, and the military spirit stabilized and the reclamation of the fields was slowly advanced, and after a few years, Lingnan would still be included in the territory of the Great Qin, which was the best policy, but it was a pity that although Qin Shi Huang was eloquent, he was too in a hurry......

Chen Xu was like an ant on a hot pot walking back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, muttering in his mouth, while Shui Qingqing whispered softly but with a surprised face: "Chen Lang, Shizunyan said that Qin's laws are too strict, and he exploits the people too much, and that Daqin will soon fall, but you are so tireless and tireless in thinking about Daqin, do you have a different view on the future of Daqin?" ”

"The unification of China by Great Qin is an unprecedented move, and now the unification of the six kingdoms has just begun, if there is no six kings and nobles to help the anti-Qin restoration, and the foundation of Great Qin will continue for a hundred and ten years, who will remember them, not to mention that the Great Qin is too exploited and even the poor people? It's not Gongsun Beiyan who is secretly doing trouble, the general trend of the world will be divided for a long time, although the division and integration are continuous, but it can also be seen from the collapse of the Great Zhou that the Great Zhou died in a foreign race? No, it's not because the ambitions among the princes are too great, and they all want to dominate the Central Plains, which leads to hundreds of years of chaos and war, a tricky Gongsun Yan has joined forces with the six countries several times to fight against the Qin State, what is the result, not a large number of people died and displaced, the war together, the most suffering is still the ordinary households and the people, is it too much exploitation of the Great Qin family? Are the other six countries just cultivating their lives and raising their people? Hehe, so, I'd rather Daqin continue like this, rather than repeat the war during the period when the princes were full of princes and the Seven Kingdoms fought for hegemony, there is a saying in the Kyushu anecdote that it is better to be a peace dog, not to be a troubled world, ordinary poor people have very few people to ask for, the only one to eat and eat, a coat to cover the body, a bed to sleep peacefully, a little bit of poverty is better than the sum of swords and soldiers, I don't know tomorrow's life and death! ”

Chen Xu said very eagerly and long, but when the water was softly heard in his ears, his eyes lit up, and a pair of beautiful eyes fell on Chen Xu and could not be removed.

This truth may be known to many people, and the master also knows, but the idea is completely different, the master is familiar with the six Tao six arts, and the general trend of the world is also clear at a glance, and has talked to their disciples several times about the present and future of Daqin, but has never seriously discussed how to help Daqin stabilize the foundation of the country, but instead intends to overthrow Daqin, repeating the situation of the Seven Kingdoms competing for power, even if the senior brother is sent down the mountain, the purpose is to find another emperor who can hold power in the world after Daqin falls, And never really cared about the life and death of ordinary people.

In other words, Shizun cares about the world in the future, while Chen Xu cares about the people in front of him, and the starting point of the two is completely different.

And this difference in starting point comes from the two people's completely different identities, ideas and perceptions of the concept of the country.

Liezi disciples, heavy Huang Lao's learning.

It is the most important academic school in the Warring States Period, mainly based on Taoist thought and adopts the views of Yin and Yang, Confucianism, Law, Mo and other schools, and emphasizes Taoism in politics. It is believed that the monarch should rule by inaction, save harsh affairs, collect thin endowments, do not seize the people, be fair and selfless, etc., but today Daqin adopts Legalism to govern the country, harsh laws, heavy taxes, forced levies, etc., which is completely contrary to the concept of Huang Lao's learning, so almost all the Huang Lao apprentices in the world are opponents of Daqin, and the gentle master calculates that Daqin is going to fall but has to send his disciples down the mountain to push again, which is also caused by the conflict of the concept of governance.

And Chen Xu wants to save Daqin, more from the people, from a kind of regret that the second Qin will fall in later generations, from the changes in the history of the next two thousand years, thinking that the Qin Dynasty will not fall, China may be more prosperous, and even as long as there is enough time, with the strength of the Qin Dynasty, it is not impossible to unify the earth, and the sun will never set the empire two thousand years in advance, because now Europe is being plagued by Rome, and the so-called Rome is also a scum in front of the Great Qin, Otherwise, the Roman Empire would not have been driven out by the Han Empire when it was at its strongest, and the Xiongnu disaster would have collapsed.

"Chen Lang, no matter what you plan to do, I will support you! If there is anything that needs to be done by me and the Shui family, please do not hesitate to ask! Shui gently walked to Chen Xu's side and said softly.

"Gently, regarding the question raised by Wang Jian today, I need to think clearly and then give him an answer, this is a crisis, and it is also an opportunity for me, as long as my answer is approved by him, maybe I will set foot in Xianyang soon, and it will not be as easy and casual to meet in the future as it is now, and I may neglect you!" Chen Xu held the water softly and said cautiously.

"Chen Lang is too careful, Rou has long been determined to follow Chen Lang, and the sword mountain and the sea of fire will also follow, no matter what happens in the future, no matter how poor and noble will not be negative, I hope Chen Lang will not give up gentleness!" The water gently and gently hugged Chen Xu's waist, her delicate body was close to his body, and her eyes were shining in the dark.

"Don't worry, manly man, I Chen Xuyan can give up on you, it's not early, rest early today, and I'm going to the county seat tomorrow!" Chen Xu felt the hot and soft body and two full elastic balls against his chest, and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, feeling that the strength of the wine seemed to be up again, his head was a little dizzy, and there was a fire burning in his body.

"Serve Chen Lang to wash up, today...... It's good to sleep together on the couch today......"

The water was soft, and his cheeks were flushed, and he clearly felt the changes in Chen Xu's body.

"Hehe, okay, I'm suddenly a little drunk!"

Someone smiled and picked up the water gently, and stepped into the room in a few steps, and after a while, there was a faint sound of water flowing inside, and after more than ten minutes, an even more shameless voice sounded: "Below...... A little bit more ...... Hiss...... So cool......"

"Woo ......" Somewhere in Qinghe Town in the middle of the night, a long and refreshing wolf howl suddenly sounded.

(Solemnly declare, don't think crookedly, just scratching it!) ）
