Zhou Yaflema stopped, watched the team continue to advance, raised the long whip in his hand and pointed at the east and said: "If Ben General is not mistaken, it should be Lantian there!" ”

The deputy general smiled and said: "What the general said is good, it is Lantian County, Lantian is located at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, the southeast of the Guanzhong Plain, is the southeast gateway of the Beijing Division, and the strategic position is very important. ”

"Lantian Camp?" Zhou Yafu muttered when he heard this, and then smiled: "Do you know what Lantian reminds me of?" ”

The deputy general was slightly stunned, because Zhou Yafu was a military general, and he was not a literati, so what he remembered obviously could not be the name of Lantian rich in beautiful jade, thinking of Zhou Yafu's hobby, the deputy general said hesitantly: "Could it be that the general thought of the battle of Lantian between Qin and Chu back then?" ”

"Yes, it was the Battle of Lantian that year." Zhou Yafu said: "The demeanor of the sages is fascinating, that war is not only military, but also involves more strategy, politics, diplomacy, the two sides are your side to sing and our side debut, all kinds of talents, even if it is read today, it also makes my generation of people feel a lot, benefit a lot." ”

The Battle of Lantian, also known as the Battle of Qin, Chu, Danyang, and Lantian, refers to a battle between Qin and Chu in 312 BC.

Zhang Yi of the Qin State deceived the King of Chu Huai and promised to cut 600 miles of land to the land of business, but the King of Chu Huai believed it and broke off relations with the Qi State.

However, Zhang Yi said that what he promised to Chu was only six miles of land, and King Huai of Chu couldn't help but be furious, Chu and Qi broke off diplomatic relations, and Chu launched a large army to attack Qin.

The combined forces of Qin and Han fought with the Chu army in Danyang, and the Chu army was beheaded 80,000, and more than 70 generals including the Chu general Qu Kuo were captured.

The Qin army set up Hanzhong County in the land of Hanzhong in the state of Chu for 600 miles.

King Huai of Chu was furious and mobilized the whole army to attack, and the military adventure of Chu was successful, not only recovering all the lost territory, but also breaking through the Wuguan Pass and reaching Lantian about a hundred miles away from Xianyang.

Lantian is a pass on the north side of the land of Shangyu, and it is an important town to defend Xianyang.

At that time, the situation was very critical, and the "Curse Chu Wen" unearthed during the Northern Song Dynasty showed that the war situation of Qin was already very unfavorable at that time, and the king of Qin even had to sacrifice to the heavens and pray to the gods to bless the "Ke Yao Chu Master".

However, the final outcome of the Battle of Lantian was not on the Lantian battlefield, because the Chu army was exhausted, ignoring the defense of Nanyang.

The combined forces of Korea and Wei captured Zhaoling and approached Deng, while Qi was defeated and unable to support Chu. This means that the back road of the Chu army is about to be cut off, and the tenacity of the Qin army also makes it almost impossible for the Chu army to break the Qin army before the back road is cut off, and the Chu army is facing the danger of being flanked in the front and rear. The Chu army could only retreat overnight and cede land to the Qin state to sue for peace.

The reason why Zhou Yafu told about this battle of Lantian had a deep meaning, because he was a little worried about the court.

The battle of Lantian is also just as he said, long-distance and close attack, military disputes, vertical and horizontal and other strategies can be said to have been used all over again, for the sake of victory and interests, various countries can be said to do everything.

How similar is this to the current situation in the imperial court?

Although Zhou Yafu was taking troops outside, he was not far away from the center for a long time, so he also knew a lot about things above the court.

Nowadays, there are factions in the court, there are the Hou Party (Empress Dowager Dou's party), the imperial party, the princes and kings, and this is also full of two factions that support King Liang as the prince and try to set up the great prince Liu Rong as the prince, and there are more Taoists and Confucianists competing with each other, and there are also Chao Cuo and Tao Qing competing, these are all bright and easy to say, those undercurrents are surging, I am afraid that Emperor Jing also has a headache.

And Zhou Yafu also heard that Chao Cuo had the upper hand in the struggle with Tao Qing at this time, and even sent a young boy to take on the important task of peace talks, and he was also Chao Cuo's father Ji, don't you say nonsense?

How can there be nepotism in the affairs of the family and the country?

Although Zhou Yafu was inclined to fight against the Xiongnu, but now that Emperor Jing's tone was set, he couldn't, but this didn't mean that Chao Cuo could use this young man to fool things.

So although Zhou Yafu was on the road at this time, he had already embraced the psychology of going back to find fault.

Otherwise, Zhou Yafu is resourceful on the battlefield and uses soldiers like a god, but he is an idiot in the political and political struggle.

Because he knew how to lose the car and protect the commander on the battlefield, but above the court, he didn't understand the truth of "the temple is like a game, abandon a son and live it all", and he didn't want to think about what this kind of thing had to do with him? You can't beat it with eight poles!

However, if Zhou Yafu didn't have this upright character, he wouldn't be Zhou Yafu.

The adjutant general was completely unaware of Zhou Yafu's mental activities, and just waited there quietly.

At this moment, some dust suddenly began to drift in the distance, apparently infested with people and horses.

The adjutant general listened attentively for a while and said: "General, there are three people coming from Lantian, and the sound of horses' hooves is low and dull, not as high as the hooves of the northern horses, it should be the southern horses." ”

Zhou Yafu nodded when he heard this, he still trusted the judgment of this deputy general.

At this time, the marching team had just passed halfway, and Zhou Yafu was not in a hurry, so he watched quietly there, but when he saw the appearance of the first person, his face was immediately overjoyed, and he sat down on the horse's belly with his legs between his legs, and ran forward in an instant.

The person on the opposite side also laughed when he saw Zhou Yafu and began to gallop on horseback.

When the two were only ten meters apart, they pulled the reins and slowed down.

I saw Zhou Yafu say with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "But Luoyang Hero Drama Meng in person? ”

Drama Meng laughed when he heard this: "Why should the general of the chariot ask knowingly, who else can there be if it is not drama Meng?" ”

Immediately afterwards, two powerful big hands were held together, containing a strong affection between men.

Drama Meng and Yafu, this is a pair of good friends!

In the future rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu, Zhou Yafu led a large army to quell the rebellion, and Ju Meng directly led people to vote, Yafu got his help, and knew the reality of the Wu and Chu coalition forces, and was able to quickly quell the chaos.

Who would have thought that the two of them had known each other for a long time? It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a friend of life and death, after all, there is a suspicion of deletion in historical books.

At this time, the drama Meng also introduced Ning Gong and Bao Xun to Zhou Yafu, and Zhou Yafu said happily: "Since it is the brother of the drama brother, it is also my Zhou Yafu's brother, if you have something to do in the future, you can come to Zhou Mansion to find me." ”

Ning Gong and Bao Xun dismounted and fell to the ground to thank them when they heard this, Zhou Yafu hurriedly helped the two of them up and said: "In the future, they will be their own brothers, so there is no need to be polite." ”

At this time, Zhou Yafu's adjutant general also caught up, and Zhou Yafu introduced to everyone: "This is my adjutant general, it turned out to be a border guard, I saw that he managed the army well and fought against the Huns, so I asked His Majesty to transfer him to my army as a deputy general." ”
