The east of the big city, the south of the mansion, and the north of the private square have been a wasteland since Shouying was built. When Shouying was still Shouling, and even when Shouling did not exist, the wizard of Huaiyi said that there was a spirit here, but the spirit of Huaiyi was not necessarily the spirit of the Chu people, so although this place was avoided when the city was built, the shrine has been retained, but no one worships the shrine and the shrine is becoming more and more desolate, only the low wall of Broken Huan remains, which is half exposed and half visible in the half-human high weeds, which is inconspicuous.

The avenue is wide, lined up in five columns, the queue of the prince with a length of more than 300 meters before and after is passing through this wasteland, and then there is the mansion, the mansion is the north gate in the past, and outside the north gate is the Jiangdong division who was deceived by Huang Xie and Li Yuan. On the carriage, including Xiong Jing, everyone thought that as long as the prince appeared, the rumors of Huang Xie and Li Yuan would be self-defeating, and at that time, the rebellion would be quelled and Yingdu would be preserved, and the Jiangdong army could also drive to Xixian as soon as possible to expel the Qin people from Chu.

Thinking of this, Zhen Yin Zimo unconsciously looked at Xiong Jing who was sitting on the innermost side of the carriage, and he knew that Xiong Jing would be crowned king at that time. Although this is not the youngest king since the state of Chu, he is one of the wisest and wisest kings. In him, Zi Mo saw a different kind of world, which was not what the Confucian Xunzi said, 'making the mandate of heaven and using it'. The Mandate of Heaven is like the gods that the witches say, only the Confucian can see it, and ordinary people can't see it at all, it determines the rise and fall of dynasties, kings and princes.

The world of the prince is not like this, there is no Confucian mandate of heaven, there is no Taoist detachment, it is not the Shang Xian of the Mo family, let alone the Dharma of the African family, and it has nothing to do with Yang Zhu. The learning of all sons is the learning of people, and it is the world of people; The world of the eldest son, but it is the world of things, to paraphrase Xunzi's words, it should be called 'the system of heaven and the use of it', with strong skills and strength to win.

This kind of truth seems ridiculous at first hearing, but when you think about it, you feel that it makes sense. Before the founding of the country, the ancestors were not sealed by the Zhou people, and the road was blue, in order to open the mountains and forests, or more than a thousand years ago, the ancestors were cut down by the Yin people and driven by the Yin people, isn't it because the skills are not as good as the people, and the strength is not as good as the people? If the ancestors had bronze soldiers, chariots, and formations at that time, how could Chu be a viscount......

Literati are always sentimental, Zi Mo didn't think about Huang Xie's rebellion, who would be Ren Ling Yin in the future, he only thought about what he saw and heard from Xiong Jing. In the end, it is not a scholar who became stupid due to Confucianism in the two thousand years after the Qin Dynasty, Zi Mo is not wrong, Xiong Jing does represent a completely different world from the present, that is, the world of things supported by technology, and the world of force.

Material and power are the foundation of a strong country, not a royal road, let alone political correctness. The foundation of matter and force is still technology, and the generation of technology depends on war most of the time - only in war can technology be developed most rapidly. So this is a matter of fire and fire, and how to obtain (produce) technology through war while avoiding excessive casualties in war has become a key issue.

Of course, the monarchs and courtiers in the game can't find this problem, and they don't care about it, they just want victory, not technology. But in fact, only technology can improve the dimension of human existence, and politics, or polity, only determines whether technology can be produced smoothly and well. Although Xiong Jing didn't know all the technical details of the past two thousand years, he knew the context of technological development in the past two thousand years, on the contrary, the royal road and the political system were no longer important, because the technical context he knew had already determined that no matter what kind of statecraft the Chu State adopted, it would be ahead of other countries.

Today's world is full of decay and happiness, which is not unrelated to hundreds of years of recuperation and population breeding. The overflow of the study of the sons is to solve the situation of the collapse of etiquette and happiness, but no matter what kind of doctrine, it is an emergency strategy under the breeding of people and the cooking of no rice; The prince is different, he has no rice to rice, this is the way to cure the root of the world today.

Outside the carriage, the sound of bells and footsteps was neat, and the monarchs and ministers in the carriage sat speechless, thinking about their own thoughts. While Zi Mo was thinking about another world, Xiong Jing was looking out of the car through the poorly annealed and unevenly pressed glass. In the early winter, the grass withered, and under the two crooked willow trees in the wasteland, the obscene shrine of the broken low wall was faintly visible. He remembered this place, he passed by on the day he was assassinated, and the road was full of sanitation - this was the first assassination against him, which was destroyed in advance by the sanitation led by Deng Sui, and then the second, the carriage was broken by copper ingots, Cai Bao was injured, and he almost died.

As if feeling that it was unlucky to think about these things, Xiong Jing withdrew his gaze, glanced at the ministers, and then closed his eyes and pretended to sleep—he had hardly slept since yesterday morning, thinking of his father for a while, and worrying about Huang Xie for a while.

"Report ——!" Across the carriage, the sound of military reports loomed, which was reported to Cai Bao outside the car.

"What?" Cai Bao was still standing in the position of the master, he was most worried about what happened to him when he passed through the dense streets, and now that he was surrounded by wasteland, he did not believe that there would be assassins here.

"...... ahead" sergeant couldn't breathe, but the news was urgent. The king in front of him blocked the way, saying that he had come to meet His Highness, but what he listed was an attacking array. ”

"Attack Array?!" Jing Hua was at most worried about the prince's safety and sent troops to respond, how dare he list the attack array. Cai Bao, who faintly felt that something was wrong, asked urgently: "How many armor soldiers are there in front of the king?" ”

"I'm afraid it's not less than two thousand." The sergeant's answer made Cai Bao change in vain, the rebels were coming to the city, and there were no less than 2,000 of the five thousand kings and soldiers in the city, there was no other explanation, the only explanation was that Jinghua was also the opposite.

"Stop, stop!" Cai Bao didn't have time to report to Xiong Jing in the car, so he could only make a decision immediately. "The back team becomes the front team, retreat! Hurry back!! ”

The training of the sanitation palace armor is better than that of the king, Cai Bao's order, the queue of more than 300 meters stopped, and then the front and rear teams were exchanged, and the real slow was the Rong car and the four-wheeled carriage, but the palace armor's royal hand was not an idle person, and the whole queue completed the turn. However, it was too late, and when the carriage turned around, there was a sound of 'woo-', and a column of brown armor was rushing out of the big city to the west, and they quickly formed a formation behind, cutting off the rear of the procession far away.

"Jinghua is reversed, Jinghua is reversed!" Cai Bao finally panicked, not to mention the king pawn in front, it was this rebel army that rushed out of the big city, and there were no less than 1,500 people in the past.

"Jinghua is reversed?!" The important ministers in the carriage heard Cai Bao's anxious words, some changed color, and some held swords. Only Zhao Huang solemnly said: "Please get out of the car, I think His Royal Highness is in charge." ”

The king's guards all held the Ge in ancient times, and the word 'Wu' depicted the guards who held the Ge. And the courtiers, in the Spring and Autumn Period, there is no distinction between civil and military, the king is in difficulty, and it is common for the courtiers to defend each other, and it is not surprising that Zhao Huang invited, he is just doing his duty as a courtier.

"Please also ......" Shen Yinyu also opened his mouth, but his whole body trembled, and he couldn't say anything at all when he saw Xiong Jing's eyes.

"Please get out of the car." Meng Zhengyu was a little bold, he was the second to ask for orders to get off the car.

"Your Highness, please also hold the minister." Zimo seemed to be very calm, but his legs were weak and he was unconscious.

His eyes swept around everyone hastily, Xiong Jing didn't think it was their loyalty, he only asked, "Jinghua is the opposite?" Why did he rebel? ”

No one answered, even the answer was no longer audible, and the war drums were beating outside. Cai Bao, who was sweating profusely, watched the two rebel armies in front and behind getting closer and closer, shouting and forming a circle, while looking forward and backward, looking around, trying to find a way to live.

There is no way to live. As soon as the sound of the hammer, the royal guards in front of them tended to advance, they knew very well that the palace armor did not have enough archers, so they stopped fifty paces away, and then while monitoring the palace armor, they waited for the Yue people in the rear to approach in formation, and completely surrounded the palace armor to death.

"Shoot the arrows!" Because he had been prepared, the king had many archers, and when he saw that the palace armor was about to form a fixed circle, he immediately ordered five hundred archers to release arrows. When the formation changed, the spearmen didn't have time to raise their shields, and they were shot a lot for a while.

The sound of drums, shouts, screams, and even the sound of arrows hitting the steel armor of the carriage ......, and it was too late to think about why Jinghua wanted to rebel Xiong Jing opened the small window connecting to the royal room, and ordered loudly: "The carriage is strong, quickly rush out in formation!" ”

After the last assassination, the four-wheeled carriage was improved and strengthened again, not to mention the surrounding of the carriage, even the roof of the carriage was paved with steel armor, although Xiong Jing did not know that he was surrounded, but relying on the sturdy carriage to rush out was the only way he could think of survival.

"Yui, Yui!" Cai Bao responded loudly. At this time, the defensive circle formation has been formed, the queue of more than 300 meters has become a circle formation with a diameter of more than 30 meters at this time, the depth of the circle array has ten people, because many arrows in the spear hand have become uneven, some columns only have eight or even seven people left, but the periphery is flush, the front five spearmen in the front of the circle hang a shield on their left shoulder, the spear is raised flat, dense, the cold light of the huge iron spear head is daunting.

This is the perimeter of the defense, behind the spear are scattered ten chariots, behind the chariot are the sword and shield hands, the rain of arrows shot by the king's pawn did not cause them the slightest damage, at this time the four hundred and fifty sword and shield men also formed a circle with a diameter of about fifteen meters. This round formation was no match for a spear, only three columns in depth, and the large shield in their left hand was placed diagonally, and the short sword was held or waved, and their eyes were fixed on the rebels outside the array. Inside this small circle were Xiong Jing's men-in-cheek soldiers and swordsmen, who were on guard with their backs to the carriage, because they had no shield, and the people facing the king's side kept falling in the rain of arrows, and blood was all over the ground.

Four thousand to fifteen hundred, this is Cai Bao's instantaneous estimate. Although His Highness did not order him to rush out in that direction, it was impossible for the carriage to run east or west, and could only follow the road to choose a direction between north and south. To the south is the royal city, which is the best choice, as soon as you enter the royal city, His Royal Highness will be safe, but those brown armor in the south are all long beryllium, and Cai Bao, who understands the power of the spear array, is very hesitant; If you go north, it will be farther and farther away from the palace, if the rebels from outside the city enter the city......

"Your Highness, please sit tight." Cai Bao made a choice between the north and the south, he rode his horse vigorously, and actually turned around and faced north.
