Also in March, spring is in full swing on Jeju Island, while in Xianyang in the northwest, the cold wind blows across the Ordos Plateau to the narrow Weishui River Valley, but spring is delayed. There are always some flowers that can bloom before the arrival of spring, the garden on the north bank of Weishui, the Empress Dowager of Huayang Ancestor is staggering, and every time Mi Xuan around her wants to help her, she is blocked by her elbow thickly.

"The old woman can still walk." The character of the thorn is just like its name: thorn, and the bones are full of stubbornness. There are only two things in her life that make her succumb: the first is childlessness. Therefore, under the persuasion of his younger brother and sister, he recognized Yiren as his heir, otherwise the power of the Chu people in the Qin State would not be inherited; And the second ...... is the unfinished king of the mother country. She originally wanted to cut off this unfinished king with a strong man's wrist to eliminate Qin's worries, but the three-year war proved her misjudgment.

"Meet the Empress Dowager." On the dry grass that began to sprout, seeing the Empress Dowager Huayang coming, the palace maid of the temple hurriedly paused.

"I've seen the Empress Dowager." Queen Mi Qian also wanted to bow down, but the child in her arms made her only behead.

"No need to be polite." Mi Thorn walked a few steps faster and stopped Mi Qian, she was here to see the child. "Is Su'er okay today?"

"Su Er......" Looking at Fusu in her arms, Mi Qian's eyes showed her mother's kindness, she nodded slowly, and her voice became very small. The Empress Dowager, Su Erfang fell asleep. ”

"Good, good." One year old is the life and death of the baby, as long as it can pass the age of one year, the chance of the child's death is greatly reduced. When he is fourteen years old, there is a good chance that the child will be an adult. The one-year-old Fusu no longer had the shriveled when he was just born, his face was not only delicate but also very round, and his small mouth was slightly open when he slew, which was extremely sweet.

"Like a politician." Mi Thorn reached out to caress his little face, but halfway through, he turned to cover the fox fur that wrapped the child.

"Yes. Everyone says that he looks like a king. Mi Qian smiled happily.

"Please sit down in peace with the Empress Dowager." Mi Xuan was waiting on the side, she also looked at Fusu, and said, "It's like a king." ”

"Sister Xuan...... "The happy Mi Qian naturally has the mind of adult beauty, but she was worried that Mi Xuan would be unhappy when she heard it, so she didn't dare to mention the matter of Mi Xuan and the king of the mother country, and the words turned around as soon as she spoke: "...... and in the future, they will have children. ”

"Where is the king?" The woman's mind is delicate, and Mi Xuan glanced at Mi Xuan, who was blushing, and asked about Zhao Zheng.

"Xu is in the right bed." She replied, "Recently, ......"

After the national lieutenant Huan Qi treasoned and ran to Chu, Qin searched for enemies in the palace, and all of them were imprisoned and executed if they were slightly implicated with Huan Qi. As the queen, Mi Qian spoke extremely carefully, and did not dare to reveal the king's whereabouts to outsiders, and in fact she did not know where Zhao Zheng was.

'Da Da Da, Da, Da ......' In the martial arts field outside Xianyang City, more than 20 war horses almost trampled over the entire meadow, and the knights on the horses were dressed in iron armor and carried spears in their hands, rushing towards the chief spearmen who were guarding the formation. This is a real battle, the spear hit, the stone armor on the spearman was instantly pierced by the spearhead, and the person was knocked away, and the blood was sprinkled on the dry grass, a bloody red.

"This is how King Jing's iron cavalry rushed at my Great Qin's military array?" Zhao Zhengli rode on top of the chariot, and there were generals such as Wei Yu, Li Xin, and Xin Sheng standing beside him, and the majesty of the heavy cavalry charge shocked him.

"Yes." Wei Wei replied. The cavalry general Xin Sheng pursed his mouth, and the cavalry charging formation in front of him and the Chu army's iron cavalry charging formation were plausible, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, he only felt a little different.

"How many iron horsemen does King Jing have?" The domain cavalry is precious, and the real battle is only for the spearmen, and the domain cavalry that has finished the battle and turns around.

"There are only more than a thousand." Wei Yi thought for a moment and replied, and Xin Sheng nodded frequently at this.

"Just over a thousand horsemen ......" Zhao Zheng looked at his courtiers, he remembered that Xin Sheng was killed by the iron cavalry of the Chu army.

"The king doesn't know." Li Xin said. "The two armies fought in a battle, although there were hundreds of thousands, but after the battle, they were not more than a dozen or dozens of soldiers. The Jing people rushed in with iron horses, and there were only a dozen or dozens of soldiers who resisted. Once the formation is broken, the first hook in the formation will be left and right, and the soldiers will be defeated. ”

Li Xin's words were short, but they were to the point. The battle between the two armies is like an egg touching an egg, and whoever breaks his shell first will lose. The Heavy Rider is an iron cone that can make a hole in the opponent's eggshell before it does.

"What is there in Zhao Guo?" Zhao Zheng nodded deeply when he heard this, and he understood the essence of the war more and more.

"Zhao Guo has nothing." Wei Yu replied. The cavalry of the Zhao State was not inferior to the cavalry of the Qin State, and when he heard that Zhao Zhengzheng, who had no heavy cavalry, breathed a sigh of relief, he said again: "However, the ministers have heard of it...... King Jing is in the Yan Land. ”

"Yandi?!" Zhao Zheng looked at Wei Yi in surprise, "Why is King Jing in Yandi?" ”

"I don't know." Wei Yu mastered the Guowei Mansion, and the news of the whole world was transmitted to Xianyang through the Hou spy of the Qin State, and today the Hou spy of the Zhao State came to the news, and King Jing has arrived in Yan. "Feixun is newly built, and the number of words transmitted is limited. King Jing may have arrived by boat. ”

"King Jing has turned into a person to offer immortal medicine, why do you still go to Yandi?" Zhao Zheng shook his head, and the news of turning into a person into Chu to offer immortal medicine spread all over the world. The kings of Qi, Wei, and Han all sent people to Yingdu with heavy gifts, hoping to share a piece of the fruit of Langji.

"Minister...... Someone has been ordered to find out. Wei Yi smiled wryly. King Jing went to Yandi and saw Li Mu. The cavalry of Zhao State are all under the command of Li Mu, if he teaches Li Mu the art of heavy cavalry......"

"What's the best plan?" Zhao Zheng hurriedly put down his mind about the immortal medicine and asked about the countermeasures.

"Li Mu extinguished Yan, sealed Wu Anhou, and his merits have been high." Wei Yu said. "King Jing entered Zhao and did not go to Handan to see King Zhao and went to Yandi to meet Li Mu, and the Zhao people would be suspicious. The minister also heard that the king of Zhao should not be established, and the person who should be established is the abolition of the crown prince Zhao Jia. Ruoyin made it rumored in Handan that Li Mu wanted to help Zhao Jia become the king, and King Zhao was jealous of Li Mu. ”

"Yes." Zhao Zheng understands Wei Yi's plan, but whether such an anti-plot is effective needs to be said separately.

"In addition, it can also make people stab Li Mu." Wei Yu said again. He regained the wisdom of Li Si back then, and Li Si had offered advice to Zhao Zheng back then, suggesting that 'the princes and celebrities can give the wealth, and leave it behind, and those who refuse to do so will be stabbed with a sharp sword'.

"Who can stab him?" Zhao Zheng asked.

"Yan Danke." Wei Yi naturally talked about Yan Dan.

"Good." Yan Dan is indeed the most suitable assassination candidate, Zhao Zheng heard Wei Yi mention Yan Dan, so he said a good word.

"Yan Dan has already interrogated his disciples, and the three of Xia Fu, Song Yi, and Qin Wuyang have made these three people enter Yan." Wei Yu whispered. What he didn't know was that when he told him, the heads of Xia Fu, Song Yi, and Qin Wuyang were hanging on the heads of Jicheng City and dripping blood.

The Shao Siming and the Xiang Lady sailed away from North Korea, sailed along the current into the north of the Bohai Sea, and turned back from the northernmost to see several cities, the northernmost one was Guzhu (now Luannan) next to the brownstone mountain, and then Changcheng (now Fengnan, Tangshan). Changcheng is the closest to the sea, and under the guidance of the people of Changcheng, Shao Si Ming sailed from the mouth of the Gu River to Xiangzhou (today's Jinshuangkou Town).

In the spring, the northern rivers have just thawed, and the sea boats can no longer go north when they reach Xiangzhou. When he first saw the sea boat, he closed the city gate urgently, and then quickly made people rush to tell Jicheng. It wasn't until the people on the boat landed on the shore that they figured out that it was the king of Chu. Xiangzhou is about 200 miles away from Jicheng, and when Li Mu, the Marquis of Wu'an, went to Xiangzhou to greet him, Xiong Jing had been in Xiangzhou for three days.

"Li Mu pays a visit to the king." A man in his forties was surrounded by General Zhao and came up to salute, his cheeks were thin and pale, his eyebrows were also very light, and he did not have the rough and heroic spirit of a military general. Walking in front of Xiong Jing, he was not deeply bowed but paused, and Xiong Jing hurriedly asked people to help him up.

"Marquis of Wu'an......" Xiong Jing opened his mouth and Li Mu bowed again, "The minister does not dare to call the marquis, please call the king by the name of Mu." ”

"Li Qing is exempt." Xiong Jing had no choice but to change his name to Qing. "Don't take a boat to float in the sea, don't want to go to Zhao State, get Changcheng people to lead, Fang to Xiangzhou, in the future Chu and Zhao can trade here. The state of Chu needs the good horses of Zhao, and the state of Zhao needs the armor of Chu. ”

"Thank you to the king." After the death of the Yan Kingdom, the west of Gushui was under the jurisdiction of the royal court, and the east was under the jurisdiction of Li Mu. Although Xiangzhou is west of Gushui, for the sake of Chu State's trade, it is still possible to ask King Zhao for a city.

"Chu and Zhao have communicated with each other, why do you need to thank you?" Xiong Jing smiled. Along the way, he came to determine the treaty port, and the essence of Zhao was all in the north, so it was very appropriate to set Xiangzhou as a treaty port.

"Zhao and Chu have cold lips and teeth, if they can pass through the sea, this is also a great good. Please ask the king to watch the sea boat, I don't know if it's possible? Li Mu's joy was beyond words, and he wanted to go up and take a look when he saw the boat parked on the Gu River.

"Why not." Xiong Jing smiled and agreed. "Then ......"

Xiong Jing looked at Chang Jiang, who stretched his throat knowingly, and said: "The king's order, I heard that the general broke the Huns, and the gods have been friends for a long time." I can see it today, when I give a thousand sets of armor and five hundred vests. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Mu hurriedly thanked him. After the year before last, the relationship between Zhao and Chu was readjusted, and Handan Shaofu officially began to produce giant iron blades. It's just that the production of armor has been lagging behind, and the huge armor sold by Chu is only equipped with the Handan defenders, and Li Mu has not obtained a set of armor suits so far.

"There's no hurry." Xiong Jing stopped him, "Please take a look at the armored cavalry first." ”

The armored cavalry is the heavy cavalry, and Xiong Jing regretted a little that he didn't let Yu Jing accompany him. On the horse without stirrups, the knight in huge armor staggered, as if he was about to fall, and the generals behind Li Mu wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh when they saw this.

"There are few people in my Chu country who are good at riding." Xiong Jing knows the patience of the cavalry under his command. "No, what I want to talk to the general about is a horse."

"Horses?" Li Mu looked at the mount under the knight's crotch, and the mount was not covered with leather armor, but a kind of iron armor that he had never seen before.

"The knight is two hundred Chu Jin for the light, three hundred Chu Jin for the heavy one, and the sum of the vest, armor, and blade is more than four or five hundred Chu Jin. If the burden is too heavy, the war horse will not be far away. Xiong Jing's purpose when he saw Li Mu was not only to have the demeanor of this famous general of the Warring States, but also to ask him to find stallions and mares on his behalf, both of which were not available in the Chu State.
