"Imperial Physician Xia has brought the edict of the First Emperor! We are rightly doing things! ”

When they set off again the next day, this exciting news had already spread among the three thousand soldiers of Nan County!

But Heifu didn't say the specific content of the "edict", no other, just because it hadn't been compiled yet.

Following the test in Yulin, Lu Jia got a new proposition composition, and Xiao Lu was riding on the mule upside down at the moment, biting the pen and racking his brains.

"Let the healer, the master, and the mule walk in the middle of the line."

This was General Heifu's order, and Xia Wuhe also got a mule to ride behind Lu Jia.

Old man Xia is a good person, as the clansman of the Empress Dowager Xia, he was able to get out of the case of Chang'an Jun Chengji's treason, and he threw Jing Ke a medicine basket at the right time, and won the trust of Qin Shi Huang, and was rewarded with a gold hundred yi, which was the order of the imperial doctor, and he was ranked among the close ministers and cronies, and he was by no means a simple person.

So he knew that if he didn't want things to become "Imperial Doctor Xia came to vote with his will, but unfortunately died of exhaustion", he could only endorse Heifu.

Even so, Xia Wuhe also secretly said in his heart:

"Fraudulent death, pretentiousness, this Marquis Wu Zhong, is really black and bold, no wonder His Majesty is so jealous of him, he has to go to the south to patrol in person, and try his best to solve this problem, but it's a pity that the sky is not ......."

Xia Wuhe guessed that if Emperor Qin knew that Heifu dared to play like this after his death, he would probably be so angry that he would come back to life, and then scolded:

"Dog...... Dog guts? ”

……

Since learning that Qin Shi Huang had died, Heifu's courage has indeed grown.

After all, there is no Qin Shi Empress in the world, except for the old mother's number, he has nothing to fear.

More than 3,000 people walked for a few more hours, and finally came to the end of this meadow.

Heifu looked at the map and pointed to the lake in front of him: "In the dry season, there should be a road here, hundreds of years ago, the frightened King Chu Zhao and his party fled to Yundi, that is, Anlu County, through Yunmengze, and went to Yungong Douxin. ”

However, due to environmental changes, the road to Anlu has long been flooded by the lake, and even in the dry season, if there are no ships, it will not be possible to cross more than 100 miles at all.

Fortunately, Heifu and the others did not go to Anlu this time, but they were going to the high-dry area in the southeast of the fork road, Yunmengze and the small county town named "Shaxian" on the edge of the river.

In the depths of Yunmengze, where the group was hiding before, it is located in the middle of Nan County, Changsha County, and Hengshan County, and it is a three-regardless area, so it can be so grandiose.

But then it won't work, although Shaxian is a poor country on the edge of Hengshan County, it is also the only way from Yunmengze to Wuchang, with thousands of household registrations, a team of 3,000 people, and it is impossible to pass through without being discovered.

What's more, the rations carried by the soldiers earlier had been exhausted, and before the battle, everyone had to be fed and sleep well.

"Therefore, if you want to seize the Wuchang camp, you must first take Shaxian!"

Hefu tapped on the inconspicuous little square on the map and said, "It can be said that this is the first battle of our plan!" ”

He asked again: "Are there Sha Xian people in the army?" ”

When Li Cang was not there, Wu Chen, who was running errands with Heifu, said: "Yes, earlier by the order of the prince and the marquis, in addition to the three thousand short soldiers and guards, the soldiers from Nanjun, Hengshan and even Changsha counties were selected in each county, and Shaxian was no exception. ”

"Go and find the chief."

Not long after, Wu Chen came back with a thin man, who was less than thirty years old, wearing the Qin army's standard armor, with his head tied in a left bun, indicating that he was a public servant, he was thin, because of excitement, he trembled a little, this is the normal reaction of ordinary soldiers to be summoned by the chief.

The soldiers searched him behind him, and Shi Chang was able to come over, and after a few steps, he fell to the ground:

"The villain has been favored by the prince and marquis, and he has been separated for sixteen years, and he doesn't want to see the general again today!"

"It's an old man?" Heifu was a little surprised, although he looked like Gu Tianle, he didn't remember that he had a sixteen-year appointment with someone?

"You are?"

"My name is Xing."

Shi Chang raised his head: "Sixteen years ago, the villain was abducted and tricked to Anlu to rob the tomb, when the prince was the chief of the Huyang Pavilion, he arrested those thieves and saved the villain!" ”

……

When crying in the tomb, the outstretched hand and the black face with big white teeth left an indelible memory for the young Xing.

"So you are the little man who was forced to go to the tomb to get the artifact, and I pulled it up, I remember that it was the winter of twenty-one years, right? Sixteen years have passed......"

After chatting with Xing for a while, Heifu couldn't help but sigh that in the past sixteen years, he and Dongmen Leopard, Ji Ying and others, who caught thieves together, have made a huge leap in status.

As a party, Xing has also experienced a lot of things over the years.

Xing smiled: "At that time, I thought I would die, but fortunately, the general testified for the villain, saying that I was less than six feet five inches tall, a small man, and I was abducted and coerced, and I should not be convicted with those thieves, so I was sentenced to be a hidden official, did some work in the workshop, and learned some crafts by the way." ”

Later, the general appointed Sima of the other department, captured Yuzhang, and the court moved the people of Nanjun to Tuntian, saying that as long as they went, they could get rid of their sons-in-law, hidden officials and other lowly status. I took a boat to Nanchang and became a soldier. I got a piece of land there, saved some money by planting sugarcane, married a wife, and had two sons and a daughter, but unfortunately there was an epidemic a few years ago, and a son and a daughter were gone. ”

The voice was low, and the little people had the bitterness and excitement of the little people, which was a portrayal of most of the ordinary people who moved to Yuzhang in Nanjun.

Life is helpless, but it has to go on, and during the first southern expedition, Xing was ordered to go to Lingnan as a pawn. Fortunately, his luck was better than that of Chen Ying, a native of Dongyang, who followed Anpu to guard Huangxi Pass, and when he rebelled against Heifu Pingyang Mountain, he took credit and was knighted as a duke.

And when Heifu cheated to death, went north through the three passes, and asked Anpu to find the soldiers from various counties, because he reported that he was a Shaxian person, Xing was also stuffed in.

Speaking of this, Heifu thought of one thing and asked, "What do you think of this general's plan?" ”

Xing Nene didn't dare to speak, only repeated "Obey the general's order" and "Willing to go to the soup for the general" Yunyun, Heifu didn't want to listen to this, slapped his thigh and said:

"How can the old man be reunited without wine? Wu Chen, get some wine! ”

The stopper of the jug was removed, the aroma of rice wine was overflowing, and the saliva was watering, and the army was depressed, and the wine could only be drunk a few times a year, which was a rare hobby pastime for the soldiers.

"Have a cup?"

Heifu personally poured a bamboo tube for Xing, and took it in trepidation, holding it with both hands, a little moved.

After a tube of wine, Xing's face was slightly drunk, and he dared to speak!

"Shaxian used to be the territory of the Chu State, and I was a Chu person at that time."

Later, he came to Anlu, became a hidden official, and became a Qin person. Later, when I came to Nanchang, the imperial court gave an order, and went to Lingnan to be a soldier, and every time the order came down, we only followed the captain, and changed several places, but I felt that this time it was almost ......."

Unlike the well-trained, loyal to Heifu, and the fellow townsmen who were close to him, it was no wonder that these soldiers from Changsha and Hengshan, who had been plugged in, were frightened when they heard that the general was going to take them to "make a big plan".

"Is this a rebellion?"

Like Chen Ping, who is scheming all day long, lest the world will not be chaotic, after all, there are a few.

Heifu knew very well that in addition to the 4,000 short soldiers, the entire Southern Expeditionary Army of more than 100,000 people, once they heard that Marquis Wuzhong had come alive and had to raise the flag to be the enemy of the imperial court, whether it was the edict or whatever the reason, most of the soldiers were inevitably worried and apprehensive.

Although the first emperor did not, Yu Wei was shocked by the world.

Besides, the rise and fall of the country, the change of the king's flag at the head of the city, is justifiable? What does it have to do with these low-level soldiers?

Anyway, over the years, except for the more and more empty titles and the rotten land on the frontier, I can't make any profits!

They are also accustomed to being half-healed from their wounds and then receiving new wounds. Accustomed to being half-starved, accustomed to picking out blisters on the soles of his feet with wooden thorns, accustomed to the clothes sewn by his mother and wife that were rotten into strips of cloth, accustomed to being alone on a desolate hill, and secretly weeping when he missed his family.

They have also long been accustomed to being deceived, let down, ignored, represented, and become indifferent.

The generals, accustomed to chanting slogans, can't even call them by name......

So, the general asked the soldier what he thought about this move.

Heavy or? Anyway, it's not like following your banner and running around, and in the end you find nothing.

At this time, a soldier took the blades of grass on the edge of the river, rolled them up to his mouth, and blew a folk slang ballad from nowhere, and there seemed to be an indescribable sorrow in the long melody.

After drinking another tube, even if it is rice wine, it has become a little spicy, Xing no longer speaks, only lowers his head to taste the ups and downs of the little people.

But the black man, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said:

"But now, General Ben knows your name, I know, your name is Xing."

"I also know your story, your joys, sorrows, and sorrows, although I can't listen to all of these more than 3,000 people, but you and others, no matter where they originate, are all Heifu's robes and Heifu's children!"

Xing raised his head and arched his hand towards Heifu, a little excited: "It's the villain who said too much, the villain never thought that with my humble identity, I could actually drink with the general, it's really like a dream......"

"Dreaming? No, it's not a dream. ”

Heifu got up with the wine, not only said to Xing, but also asked the guards and miscellaneous soldiers next to him to surround him.

Three thousand men surrounded him in the middle, and they were ordered to sit down cross-legged and listen to him.

"More than ten years ago, in Anlu County, when I was drunk, I used to talk about my ambitions with my robes."

"At that time, I was just a small county lieutenant, but I said a word to everyone present."

Heifu nodded to one of the people present that day: "Ah Leopard, you have the loudest voice, tell everyone what Naigong said!" ”

Although he is nearly forty years old, the Dongmen Violent Tiger stared at a pair of bull's eyes and roared at the top of his throat, no less than the howl of a tiger, like thunder! A flock of water birds flew away, and even the crocodile in Zeri was so frightened that it dived back into the lake.

"The general said, the prince and the general, would you rather have a kind!?"
