Ximi City was first built two hundred years ago, during the Battle of Wu and Chu, originally to defend the Wu State.

The city was built according to the fortress, and it can be said that by controlling the city, you controlled the waterways of the great river.

The place of this city in the future is Yueyang.

"Okay, I'll go back with you for my brother." King Qin thought of two things.

One is what Wei Ran took over when Bai Hui and himself left Luoyi, if nothing else, in the next two or three months, the nobles of Chu State with a bit of status, and officials from all over the country will gather in Yingdu.

The other thing is that there is Sima Cuo personally in Bashu, and with Sima Cuo's efforts, Bashu still has 100,000 soldiers and horses assembled and ready to be called at any time.

In other words, the real strength prepared by the Qin State this time was 580,000 combat troops, of which seventy percent were preparing to fight against the Chu State, and three percent were responsible for defending the Zhao State. Finally, there is the strongest support force, the Yiyang Battalion, which is ready to be dispatched at any time.

This battle, in Bai Hui's words, is that this is a housework in the Central Plains, Yiqu, Lin Hu, Wushi, Lou Fu, and Jiupu do not have to participate, and it is a great achievement to make money and defend their respective territories.

Finally, King Qin, Bai Hui, and Meng Wei secretly went north.

Bai Hui's destination on his trip north this time was not Luoyi or Xianyang, but Wucheng.

Because Bai Qi was waiting for him in Wucheng.

Let's talk about the state of Chu.

The king of Chu was drunk for two days, and in these two days, only Jiang Yan was alone in the palace of the king of Chu.

Finally, the king of Chu figured it out in a half-drunk and half-awake state.

"The beauty called Qiong Daguan over."

"Yes!"

Jiang Yan got up and retreated, and after a while, Kung Fu Qiong Daguan sat next to King Chu's couch.

"My king!"

The King of Chu stretched out his hand to hold Qiong Daguan's wrist: "Qiong Daguan, the widow asked you that Jiang Xi heard that he was from the Jixia School Palace?" ”

"It's still Jiang Qi's side branch."

Qiong Daguan's addition made King Chu's eyes light up, and he immediately sat up: "How is his talent?" ”

Qiong Daguan thought for a while and replied, "He came here a few years ago, and he was first in charge of the procurement of items in the palace. I secretly checked his accounts, and not only were they clear, but they also saved the palace a lot of unnecessary expenses. Then he was promoted to the rank of confessor, and then entered the county Yin, who was in charge of Wang Tian, who did a very good job and was a rare talent. ”

The confessor is an official position similar to a microphone, sending a document outside the palace for the king of Chu, passing a word or something.

Guan Wangtian is the palace industry of the King of Chu, and the land of a county is naturally the county Yin, and the grade is more ordinary than the county guard.

The king of Chu asked again: "This person, what does Qiong Daguan think?" ”

"Available."

"Okay, then Qiong Daguan will go to you in person, first go to inform General Xiang Shan's entry into the palace, and then send Jiang Xi to the widow, the widow plans to hand over the money obtained from the raid to Jiang Xi to manage, and let General Xiang Shan's affairs be in military affairs, Qin Guo is afraid that this time he will be serious."

The heart of the king of Chu is like a mirror.

The state of Qin is a true country of tigers and wolves.

When it is not good, the covenant must be held high above the head. wanted to make an alliance with his father back then, and then Qin said that he would add a new alliance and invite the old king of Chu to go to Wuguan to meet the alliance.

As a result.

In Wuguan, the Qin State directly asked for the land of the two counties, and the old King of Chu naturally did not agree.

Then the state of Qin imprisoned the old king of Chu.

What a covenant, the Qin State trampled the covenant under its feet at that time.

At this moment, the King of Chu deeply felt that the Qin State had once again trampled the covenant under his feet.

Definitely.

In fact, not only the Qin State, in a hundred years, the Seven Kingdoms did not meet today and break the contract tomorrow.

The State of Chu has also been torn, and the State of Qi has also been torn.

Whoever hasn't torn it doesn't mean to claim to be a strong country.

In the evening, Xiang Shan entered the palace first, and Jiang Xi came later because he was outside the Yingdu City.

Jiang Xi entered the palace, and Qiong Daguan heard that General Xiang Shan's conversation with the king of Chu asked him to arrange some wine and food to be sent to Jiang Yan's palace, so that the brother and sister could meet first.

Sibling?

Of course it's fake, two people even have fake names.

The real Jiang Xi is dead, he died when the Qin army attacked Linzi, and now Jiang Xi is a Qi person, but he is not surnamed Jiang, just an ordinary student in the Jixia School Palace. He once studied under Zou Yan, so he was sent to the state of Chu.

The real Jiang Xi and Jiang Yan are not brother and sister, let alone fake.

Two people...... There is a spark, but it can keep its duty.

After Qiong Daguan personally sent Jiang Xi to Jiang Yan's palace, he gave a gift: "There is something I want to tell Mrs. Jiang first." ”

"Qiong Daguan, please speak."

"Jiang County Yin Dacai, Wang Shang thinks that he has been neglecting his wife's brother a lot over the years, and this is the opportunity of the crisis of Chu State, please Jiang County Yin should not take the matter of official position to heart."

After Qiong Daguan finished speaking, he bowed to the end.

Jiang Yan hurriedly returned the salute, and then said: "My brother fled here when the Qi country was in turmoil, and if it weren't for the care of my king, it would have its current status." All this was given by the king, and my brother and sister thanked the king for his grace, and did not dare to think of anything extraordinary. ”

There was a Zheng sleeve in the Chu State before, and he was crazy to the limit.

It is really a person who attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.

Jiang Yan is the opposite, it can be said that both character and virtue can be said to be a model of the Chu State, and his brother is conscientious, down-to-earth, steady, and talented.

Several times the king of Chu tried to reward him for promotion, but Jiang Yan refused.

This has enhanced Jiang Yanxian's name.

Qiong Daguan gave another salute: "At a time when the Chu State is in trouble, I hope Mr. can help the king." ”

"I want to do my part."

Qiong Daguan retreated, and the maidservants also retreated after serving wine and food.

The two 'brother and sister' sat facing each other, and Jiang Xi poured a glass of wine for Jiang Yan: "Sister, Chu Guo may be in big trouble this time, and I heard many things outside the palace for my brother." ”

Jiang Yan raised her glass: "Brother should be loyal to the king." ”

"Liver and brain!" Jiang Xi raised his glass very solemnly.

Whether or not someone eavesdropped, there was not a word that either of them should not have said,

On the other side, King Chu and Xiang Shan.

It took Xiang Shan three hours to finish explaining the huge map on the ground.

"Your Majesty, the State of Qin, it's terrible." Xiang Shan ended his three-hour speech with these seven words, took two steps back, and drank all the water in the jug in one go.

The King of Chu stood on the map and shook his head incessantly.

King Chu shook his head not because he didn't believe what Xiang Shan said, but because it was a manifestation of helplessness and fear.

After a long while, the king of Chu saw that Xiang Shan had regained his calm breathing because of rest, and then asked, "The Qin army attacked Qi back then, a million army. General Xiang estimates that this time how many soldiers and horses will the Qin army have? ”

Xiang Shan had already talked about the data just now, but this was only the data that had detected the assembly of the Qin army.

Hearing the question of the King of Chu, Xiang Shan replied: "Your Majesty, the current Qin army is not the Qin army when it attacked Linzi back then, and the current Qin army is at least twice or three times stronger than it was back then. This is still in the case that Bai Hui's mysterious four guards do not appear, no, it is five guards. ”
