In the following time, Zhibisi not only kept a close eye on Wang Jian in Puyang, but also stared at Li Xin in Xiangcheng with wide eyes. Xiong Jing felt that Qin Jun's situation at this time was a little weird, but he couldn't say what was weird. However, obviously, a thick curtain was lowered between Qin and Chu again, and he could only see a black box, which may be what the Qin people wanted to achieve.

The Qin people are tricky, but there is one thing that cannot be changed, that is, the Nanzheng Basin has been owned by the Chu State.

Bashu is the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, but Qin, Chu and Hanzhong, especially Qin and Hanzhong, are the upper reaches of Bashu. In the north of the Nanzheng Basin, there are Chencang Road, Bao Slope Road, Fu Luo Road, and Meridian Road; In the south of the Nanzheng Basin, there are Jinniu Road, Micang Road, Lychee Road, and Yinping Road from Gansu. As long as you master the Nanzheng Basin, it is easy to attack Shu; And the control of Bashu is also a high-level position in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

The Qin State occupied Nanzheng very early, and as soon as the Golden Bull Road was opened, the Shu State died; Once Bashu perished and lost the Ankang Basin or Wuguan Dao, the Qin people immediately formed a half-moon-shaped encirclement of the Chu State. The battle of Yanying was not a Qin army in vain, and the Qin army in Yanying also went down the river from Bashu and burned down the Yiling Tomb.

Later, Wei destroyed Shu Wu, and Sima Zhao took advantage of Jiang Wei and Liu Chan's disagreement to garrison troops in Yuzhong (Zhouqu County, Gansu Province), while containing Jiang Wei with a partial division, he ordered the main force to take advantage of the emptiness of Hanzhong to attack Hanzhong; Jiang Wei quickly retreated to the Sword Pavilion (Jinniu Road), not wanting the Wei army to enter Shu from Yinping Road and go straight to Chengdu, and Liu Chan surrendered. If Shu died, Wu died, Wang Jun supervised the water division in Shu, attacked Wu from the guerrilla, and Wu died after 17 years.

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Yuwentai ordered the fierce general Da Xiwu to take Hanzhong, and the Southern Dynasty guards were afraid of Da Xiwu, and offered Wuxing County (now Luoyang), an important place in Guanzhong, and the Northern Army entered the Nanzheng Basin smoothly without a single soldier. Later, taking advantage of the civil strife in the Southern Dynasty, he led his troops into Sichuan and extended it to the Sui Dynasty, and Yang Su led the Yizhou Navy Division to go east along the Yangtze River and destroy Chen.

At the time of the Song and Jin dynasties, the 180,000 Song army was defeated in the Battle of Fuping in Shaanxi, and then relied on Wu Jue to defeat the Jin people in the three battles of Shangyuan (now southwest of Baoji, north of Dasanguan), Raofeng Pass (near Lianghe Town, Shiquan County), and Xianrenguan (now Yuguan Township, Hui County), which ensured that Hanzhong and Sichuan were not lost, and continued the Southern Song Dynasty.

After Meng Yuan destroyed the Song Dynasty, after Wokotai attacked the Song Dynasty, Meng Ge attacked the Song Dynasty, Kublai Khan attacked the Song Dynasty, and the three generations of Great Khan took more than 40 years to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty. The demise of the Southern Song Dynasty was not so much the loss of Xiangyang as the fact that after more than 40 years of delay, the depletion of national strength, especially finance, could no longer support the war and died.

The Nanzheng Basin is so important that Xiong Jing does not know this without delving into history. He still thinks that Xiangyang is important, and if Xiangyang is lost, Song will die, so the regulations of Fan Xiang and the two cities are huge. The capture of Nanzheng by the Chu army was only to drive the Qin people to the north of the Qinling Mountains, and at the same time, to the north from the Nanzheng Basin, it could also threaten Guanzhong.

It is a pity that the Chu army controlled the Nanzheng Basin, but did not control the mountain road pass in the north into the pass, and the plank road was all burned by the Qin army, and it took time to repair; And Chen Cangdao is the key pass in the pass, and the Dasan Pass is hundreds of miles away. It was necessary to control the Dasan Pass so that the Chu army could exit the pass from the north of Chencang Dao, the only one that could support the movement of the army, and attack the upper reaches of Weishui.

The Chu army won, but the victory was not settled. But even so, the Qin State was still shaken, and the news that the Chu army had occupied Nanzheng was completely blocked, and Li Xin, who was in Xiangcheng, learned from Wang Ao that Nanzheng had been lost, and he was stunned for a moment.

Bashu is the upper reaches of the Yangtze River Basin, and Hanzhong is the upper reaches of Bashu; In the same way, Guanzhong is the upper reaches of the Yellow River Basin, and Hanzhong is also the upper reaches of Guanzhong. Zhuge Liang's five northern expeditions failed, one of the reasons was that after the Wudu earthquake in the early Han Dynasty, the upper reaches of the Han River were diverted, the river was attacked, Tianchi Daze was gone, and the Chencang waterway was also abandoned. The difference is that Han Xin can secretly cross Chen Cang, but Zhuge Liang can only flow horses.

The road conditions are different, and the balance of forces between the two sides is also different. If the Cheng clan of the Ao clan mainly attacked Hanzhong, and the division of the Cheng clan was fierce, the Qin army would be able to resist the Ba people in addition to the sharp soldiers. However, the Chu army still has witch weapons, and as soon as the witch weapons sound, the brave Ba people also scattered. Thinking of Ruo Ao's division out of the Great Dispersion Pass, Li Xin suddenly felt that Wang Ao's face with an eight-character beard was spinning in front of him, and the entire horizon was also rotating, he subconsciously held on to the wooden table, closed his eyes for a long time before sighing: "Great Qin is in danger!" ”

Military affairs inevitably depend on geography, and there is no military theory if you don't know geography. As the general of the Qin army, Li Xin's military literacy was naturally higher than Xiong Jing's, and as soon as he heard that Nanzheng had been lost, he subconsciously felt that the Qin State was on the edge of the cliff and was declining little by little. If this situation could not be changed quickly, the Qin state would surely perish.

"Definitely. Once the Jing people stabilize Bashu, use the millet of Bashu to send the pawn of the Bashu Hanzhong, and the Great Qin Society will be in danger. "Smart people don't need to talk nonsense, Wang Ao also nodded, but he can't say that the Qin State is going to die." Fortunately, Bashu is a difficult place to govern, I have a great Qin to govern Shu, but also to three Shu marquis, the first king Zhao Wang before the county was established. Jing people rule Shu, without ten years, Shu is bound to be unstable. ”

Seeing that Li Xin reacted so violently, Wang Ao tried his best to say something light, but Li Xin was not easy to coax, he said: "The three marquis of Shu in Great Qin took more than 30 years to be the county of Fang, and the Jing people are not." Jing people rule because of customs, and they are divided all over the world, why is Shu unstable? ”

"The Jing people are indeed ruled by customs, so the Hou spy of the National Governor's Mansion spread rumors all over Daliang, saying that if the Ao clan wants to take Shu for themselves." Li Xin exposed his white lies, and Wang Ao had to mention another thing. "Today, if the Ao clan is already a big tail, and then according to Shu, King Jing will have a taboo in his heart, once it is ......"

"Why is the Captain's Mansion all villains!" Li Xin, who was anxious in his heart, was tactful just now, but now he is ruthless. "King Jing dares to divide the seal, precisely because King Jing is not afraid of the chaos of the Zhu clan because of the strong, but only afraid of the death of the Zhu clan because of the weak. If Ao's tail is not big, and King Jing Dayue is not as good, how can he be taboo? This, this is ......"

Guowei Wei Yi is Wang Ao's teacher, Li Xin wanted to say that this is to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but in front of Wang Ao, he still held back. What kind of master there is, what kind of apprentice there is. Wang Ao pondered, 'I am not afraid of the chaos of the Zhu clan because of the strong, but only the death of the Zhu clan because of the weakness', and asked: "Why is King Jing not afraid of the chaos of the Zhu clan because of the strong?" According to the Zhou courtesy? ”

Wang Ao didn't have the slightest intention of laughing at Zhou Li, he knew that King Jing took the initiative to worship Kong Qian as the prince, so he asked this question. He can also discuss the reasons realistically, and another person will definitely laugh at King Jing's pedantic, and even think that Zhou Li can govern the country.

Wang Ao's attitude was very pertinent, but in Li Xin's eyes, he was still stupid, and he replied with some disappointment: "Without him, King Jing is stronger." ”

"Stronger?" Wang Ao fell into the old way of thinking again. "If the Ao clan has the Bashu Hanzhong, the Bashu Han has more than 100,000 soldiers who can fight, and the King of Jing only has two Ying, and the soldiers are less than 50,000, and the Ruo Ao clan has rebelled against ...... in the past."

"Let me ask you, if the Ao clan can make witchcraft and witch medicine?" Li Xin didn't want to listen to him anymore and interrupted.

"I can't." Wang Ao touched something and shook his head slightly.

"If the Ao clan can build a sea boat to the West Continent?" Li Xin asked again.

"I can't." Wang Ao still shook his head.

"If the Ao clan can make good friends with the world's big businessmen?" Li Xin asked again.

"I can't." Wang Ao continued to shake his head, he already knew what he was wrong with.

Li Xin saw that he understood, so he didn't ask anymore, he said: "King Jing once said: the best and the fittest. His line is divided into seals, because he is already good, and he is inferior, so the worst goes to him. On the contrary, it is the best and the inferior wins, the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it, so the best one goes. ”

At this point, Li Xin didn't dare to continue. Wang Ao didn't hear the opposite meaning of his words, he still asked pertinently: "King Jing is strong at this time, but after the tenth and hundred generations, King Jing is strong?" The Xiong clan is not strong, doesn't he want his clan to be the king? ”

"Definitely. Under the Ao system, the strongest person is the big Ao and can hold the power, why should he be the king? And if the county Yin Fengjun is balanced, Zhu Ao is also balanced with each other, if the strongest person is the king of the Xiong clan, he will definitely be the enemy of the rest, why bother? It was not Li Xin's willingness to fork the topic here, he turned back to the topic: "Time is running out." ”

"Because time is running out, the king allows this plan." It was not for nothing that Wang Ao appeared in the Li Shin shogunate. "Please also ask the general to ......"

"Li Xin will not dishonor the king's life." Looking at the king's orders in several cases, Li Xinsheng, who was immersed in the sense of mission, was like a golden stone.
