Xiong Jing said the reason why the Qin State would die. This is not the submissive Empress Qin, all countries are militaristic mobilization systems, and the people do not seem to him to be martial, but compared to the people of the Empress Qin, they are already very martial.

Qin, Chu, Qi, Zhao, ......, any country that sweeps away the six countries and unifies the world will face the problem of legal unity. If the Zhou and Han people maintained a feudal pattern, the Kanto region would still be a feudal state - it does not matter who will be the king, the important thing is not to touch the original vested interests, and if the social structure of the upper and lower levels is not changed, the rule will gradually be stabilized.

One day is not something that can be done by destroying all nations. Zhao Zheng destroyed the Six Kingdoms, did it go down in one day? It was indeed one, but it fell apart in just fifteen years. The Han Dynasty continued to do the same, but the Han Dynasty did not dare to make a second like Zhao Zheng, but for a long time the counties and states were parallel, and the counties were the scope directly under the Han Dynasty. It was not until the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, a few decades after the founding of the Han Dynasty, that the imperial court really incorporated the whole country into the administrative system.

From Zhao Zheng's destruction of the Six Kingdoms and the relocation of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, to the chaotic times at the end of the Qin Dynasty, to the struggle between Chu and Han, to the parallel of the Han Dynasty and the counties, and finally to the pacification of the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, it was truly realized in one day. There is no trickery in this process, as long as those who call themselves Chu people, Qin people, Zhao people, Wei people, Qi people, Yan people, and Han people do not all disappear, it is impossible to really go down in one day.

After understanding this, Xiong Jing couldn't help but feel a little sad. He is a Chu man, and he is the king of Chu, he must 'murder' himself in order to become a man of the world and the king of the world. In normal times, this would definitely not be possible, but Xiang Yan had already seen before his death: the Chu people, the Qin people, the Zhao people, the Wei people, the Qi people, and the Han people ......, and they will inevitably die one by one in the more tragic wars in the future.

"You haven't met anyone who gave you three moles......" he remembers saying one sentence. In a trance, he seemed to see a certain intersection flashing by, falling farther and farther behind him.

"The widow led his division into the customs and was accidentally injured, so he also suffered from brain disease," said Nao, who summoned the envoys of the four countries in the name of Da Ao at noon the next day. "Yesterday's nonsense was caused by brain disease."

"Brain, brain disease......" The envoys of the four countries had different expressions. Tian Jiao was skeptical, Wei Jian couldn't believe it, Lian Yu was overjoyed, and Han Cheng pinched himself twice, thinking that he was dreaming.

"Yes, yes." Standing beside Nao Cunning, Zhan Li nodded heavily, "During the Weinan War, the widow Tie Xuan was hit by the Qin people's crossbow, although the person was unharmed, but the head was violently shocked, so he suffered from brain disease. The brain, the house of the six gods, has a brain attack, and his speech is chaotic. ”

Zhan Li can take blood to save his life, everyone in the world is regarded as a miracle doctor, he stands here to endorse the king of Chu, and the envoys completely believe it. Han Cheng, who had already pinched himself several times, hurriedly said: "The disadvantages of South Korea can be restored...... Is it recoverable? ”

"If you promise to be restored, you can be restored." Nao told each other very calmly, and Han Cheng was ecstatic.

"Did the king save Zhao?" Han Cheng's joy and honesty can only be envied, after all, South Korea is dead.

"The matter of saving Zhao still needs to be discussed by the court." It was no longer Nao Cunning who spoke, but Dazai Jinyi. "It's still undecided. The exact situation should be determined in a few days. Zhao envoy also asked Handan to tell him quickly, the widow has a brain disease, and what he said yesterday was nonsense. The disadvantage has never had the heart of the day, and the alliance with Qi, the covenant with Wei, and the letter of Zhao and Han must abide by the ......"

When Nao Cun, Jin Yi, Yan Li and others told the envoys of the four countries, Xiong Jing was already above Huaishui. Gradually understanding the irreversibility of the historical trend, he naturally got bored. He could expel Rong Di who was going south like Duke Qi Huan, but he never wanted to see the Chu people die. However, the war not only continued but intensified, and not only the Chu people, but also the people of the Seven Kingdoms were going to perish.

To stop it, the opportunity has been missed, even if he leads the Chu army to attack Guanzhong again, with Zhao Zheng's desire to survive and flee as a Chu army, this time he will definitely not defend Lantian and Xianyang, but will escape to Yongcheng, where is Huangshui Chencang. It is impossible for the Chu army to chase so far, and even if the cavalry can catch up, it is impossible to kill Zhao Zheng.

Seeing Xiong Jing standing on the deck for a long time and not returning to the boat, Li He, who went to Wancheng with him, bowed and said: "The heart of the king, the minister knows also." For the sake of today's plan, only westward expansion can survive. ”

Now that the old Ying has been taken, it is facing the problem of moving the capital, and the relocation of the capital represents the real revitalization of the Chu State, but before moving the capital, it is necessary to capture Hanzhong. Shouying is still far away from Jiuying and Nanyang, in order to know the military situation on the front line at the first time, the entire Dasima Mansion has all moved westward, so Li and I, Don't I and others walked with Xiong Jing.

"Yes." Xiong Jing agreed, and he has been supporting westward expansion since Xiang Yan proposed westward expansion.

"The Ba people and Shu people are not allowed to return to the country, and they will not rebel against Qin and return to Chu." Li brought up yesterday's topic again, and looked at Xiong Jing worriedly.

"Yes." Xiong Jing agreed without hesitation. He has no other insistence now, and the only insistence is to save the Chu people.

Hearing that Xiong Jing agreed, Li He's hanging heart finally let go. Don't worry about me: "The minister thought that he should send an envoy to Bashu as soon as possible. ”

"Yes." Xiong Jing agreed as usual. Since Providence wants the people of the Seven Kingdoms to perish, it makes no sense for him to insist on reincarnation and oppose reinstatement. Ba and Shu will be restored, and Qin will inevitably attack, and when the time comes, not only the people of the Seven Kingdoms will die, but also the Ba and Shu people.

"The king is wise!" At this time, I really thought that Xiong Jing had a brain disease, because there was only a day apart, and it was judged like two people.

"Wise?" Xiong Jing smiled bitterly, "No matter how wise you are, you can't go against the sky." ”

Xiong Jing sighed long, but I don't know why he sighed so long. The two thought that this was just Xiong Jing's modesty, and they didn't know that behind Xiong Jing's sigh was the demise of all the Chu people and even the people of the world. Li and happy, yesterday's unfinished westward expansion battle was laid out on the king's boat.

It is difficult to go to Shu and it is difficult to go to the blue sky, this is Li Bai's emotion in the Tang Dynasty. Unlike later generations, it was not as difficult to enter Sichuan in this era as it was hundreds of years later: from Xianyang to Weishui to Yongcheng and Chencang, and then from Chencang to Hanzhong and its territories along the upper reaches of the Han River, which is called Chencang Road. Sima Wrong cut down Shu from this road, and Liu Bang went out of Hanzhong to enter Guanzhong from this road. Secretly 'crossing' Chencang, this is the waterway.

However, this ancient waterway that communicated Shu in ancient times was annihilated by a major earthquake a few decades later. During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Baochuan Road was opened, and the waterway became a land route (plank road), and the transportation capacity decreased sharply. The Chu army invaded Hanzhong to the west, and the Qin state must be rescued by heavy troops sent by Chen Cangdao.

Outside the Chencang waterway, the passage into Bashu in the south also made Xiong Jing a little surprised. Zhang Yi envoy Chu State, once said to the ancestor King Huai: "There is Bashu in the west of Qin, and the big ship accumulates millet, starting from Wenshan, and the floating river has been lowered,......, less than ten days away from the pass. This is not an exaggeration, during the battle of Yanying, the Qin army was not one, but two. The other way is to go down the river, pull out the pass, and burn the tomb.

However, the Qin army did not go down the Yangtze River, but down the Yishui River (now the Qingjiang River), and the pass was on the Yishui River instead of the Yangtze River. In other words, the Three Gorges could not be navigated on a large scale in this era, and Yishui was south of the Yangtze River, and entered Yishui along the Daxi from below Fengjie, and avoided the Three Gorges from Yishui, and finally re-entered the Yangtze River from the vicinity of Yichang in later generations.

The two passages in and out of Bashu were both unexpected. The westward advance of the Chu army was traced up the Han River, first into the Xicheng Basin (now the Ankang Basin), and then into the Hanzhong Basin, the so-called Nanzheng of the Qin State. This route, like Yishui, has to 'take the summer water', that is, it can only be passed when the water is full in the summer. It was July, the autumn wind was gradually rising, and there was not much time left for the Chu army.

"Thinking of the time, the minister thinks that there is no need to confuse the enemy anymore." Li said. Sending Zhou Ji to transport the Zhao people out of Handan was an excellent factor in confusing the enemy. "I know Qin, and Qin knows me. It was necessary to trace the Han River to capture the Han River, and the Qin people had blocked the waterway in the Han River. ”

"Really?" Xiong Jing was surprised. The Chu army relied on the boat, and the Danshui blocked the waterway unsuccessfully, and the Qin people who learned this lesson blocked the Han waterway again, and the scale of the blockage can be imagined.

"Exactly." Don't let me nod my head too often. "The Qin people have blocked the Han waterway. One is blocked in the pass, and the other is blocked in the stone spring west of the west of the west city. The people of Langzhong are pro-Qin, and they will fight to the death with me. ”

The king of Shu cut down the Marquis of Tho, the Marquis of Tho Benba, and Ba begged for help from Qin, and then King Qin Huiwen ordered Sima to destroy Shu by mistake. Before the Chu State, Hanzhong County went west to Shiquan, and it did not continue to move westward, a big reason was because Nanzheng was in the hands of Shu at that time. In short, Ba and Shu both have a strategy of long-distance friendship and close attack.

However, these are Xiong Jing's speculations, and in my explanation, the relationship between Ba and Shu is far more complicated than he imagined. The people who lived in Badi alone were divided into at least eight branches, one of which had a close relationship with the state of Chu.

During the period of King Wu of the first monarch, 'Bazi made Hanbok (wearing Zhou people's clothes) to tell Chu, please be good with Deng. Chu Zi asked Dao Shuo to hire Ba Ke to Deng. Deng Nan despised the coins of the people of Yōu and killed the Dao Shuo and Ba Xing people', which was the cause of the Battle of Yan (703 BC). At least during the period of King Wu of the First Emperor, Chuba had formed a military alliance to deal with the countries surnamed Ji in the Hanshui Valley;

During the period of King Wen of the first monarch, the Chuba coalition army attacked Shen (Wancheng), King Wen disturbed the Ba division, and the later Ba division rebelled against Chu and attacked that place, and the two countries began to fight each other. In 677 years ago, King Wen was defeated by the Ba people in Yujin (now Zhijiang County), returned to Ying, heard that King Wen had suffered a defeat, refused to open the door, King Wen had to lead the division to cut down Huang, defeated Huang Shi in Jieling (now Huangchuan), returned to Ying, but when he went to Hu (Yicheng, Hubei), he died of illness.

During the period of King Zhuang of the first monarch, because of the internal power and elbows, the Yongren (now Zhushan, Hubei) rebelled and attacked Chu, and the Chu army was defeated in several battles. King Zhuang united the Ba people and the Qin people, and the Three Kingdoms destroyed Yong (611 BC). In the next few hundred years, the relationship between the two countries was good and bad, and during the period of King Hui, the son of King Zhao, the Ba Shi was defeated by the Chu army, and was expelled from the Hanshui Valley.
