Chapter 1 Border Beacon Memories of Past Lives Brotherhood is like the depths of the sea

"Report that the rebels are less than 100 miles away from our army, and now they are outside the Chen Bing Hangu Pass" The scout hurriedly reported, sweat sliding down his face, and it could be seen from his tired face how serious the situation was.

'Who is the striker?' How many troops? The general in the tent asked slowly, and there was not the slightest panic on his face, let alone a panic. Calm and relaxed, as if the danger in front of him was still far away.

'My subordinates don't know! The scout bowed his head in reply.

'Go down, find out'.

'No'. The scout rose and turned away, his sword arcing perfectly around his waist. From kneeling to getting up and leaving, but in an instant. It is enough to see excellent military literacy.

'Report the 800-mile urgent military report ahead, Chen Sheng's rebel army of one million, has now broken through Hangu Pass, the general of Hangu Pass was martyred, 20,000 soldiers guarding the pass, and none of them survived. Pioneer Zhou Wen, raise 500,000 troops, as far as I can see, it is less than a hundred miles', and the scouts in front have not yet left the camp

'Reporting the 800-mile urgent military report ahead, Zhou Wenjun's army attracted the original troops of the Six Nations along the way, and now there are thousands of chariots and halberds of millions of people. ’

'Newspaper

'Brother Zhou Wen, you're still here after all,' the general in the tent got up and muttered. At first, the military newspaper did not make any changes in the big tent, the generals and colonels stood there like a mountain, their faces expressionless, as the urgent documents were delivered at the front one by one, the atmosphere in the big tent had some subtle changes, and the neighboring generals began to talk to each other, whispering, exchanging judgments about the situation in front of them. The boss's sudden rise made everyone quiet and wait for the commander's order. The generals were puzzled that the chief general did not give orders, but quietly looked at the map behind him. The atmosphere in the big tent suddenly added a little weirdness. The sky outside the tent was still clear, but for some reason, thick clouds were thick, and the depressing feeling of black clouds crushing the city and wanting to destroy it permeated the entire Lishan camp.

The Lishan camp was originally an army that built a palace for the emperor. Most of the personnel are old and weak, and most of the young and middle-aged people are newly recruited without battle. With less than 50,000 people, how can they resist Zhou Wen's million-strong army? All the people were beating drums in their hearts. silently stared at Shaofu Zhanghan in front of him.

At this moment, Zhang Han stood there quietly, as if separated from this world, why would it be you? His heart kept silently thinking, but his thoughts were like wild horses that had escaped from the leash, bringing him back to Xianyang, the capital of Qin, a few years ago.

At that time, the Qin State was in full swing, the offensive momentum was like a rainbow, and the stars were gathered, and Wu Anjun was white. Meng Tian, Wang Jian is like a high mountain, overwhelming the six countries of the East, Zhang Yi. LΓΌ Buwei. With the assistance of Jinglun's full of statecraft, the national strength of the Qin State is no longer what it was back then, and its external expansion again and again has caused the six eastern countries to lose their land. The six eastern countries vied with each other to cede land and cities, and offered beautiful women and jewelry to make friends with the Qin State, seeking peace one day.

At that time, Chun Shenjun Huang Xie accompanied Xiong Wan, the crown prince of Chu, as a hostage in Qin State, and Zhou Wen was an entourage by Chun Shenjun's side. At that time, Zhang Han was only a small official in the Shaofu of the Qin State who was in charge of the Zhongshang Lingzhang for the suburbs to worship Guibi and the Son of Heaven to play, and the concubine's costumes were intricately carved. The two would not have crossed paths. History is so weird that it relates relationships that don't exist in the first place.

In 263 BC, in the forty-fourth year of King Qin Zhao, King Xiang of Chu Qingxiang was critically ill, and at that time, the King of Qin did not allow the crown prince Xiong Wan to return to China and ascend the throne on the grounds that the situation was unclear. For a while, Prince Chu and the others were in a dilemma. If the king of Chu dies of illness and another newcomer ascends the throne, he will become an ordinary person in Xianyang City, and his life and death will not be up to him. Leaving rashly for fear of annoying King Qin would be hunted down. If it is not done well, it will cause the two countries of Qin and Chu to fight again. All of a sudden, the prince of Chu was in chaos.

The strategist Zhou Wen accompanied Chunshenjun Huang Xie in and out of the Qin court for a long time, wandered among the high-ranking officials and nobles in Xianyang, made generous moves, and made many friends, including Zhongshang Ling Zhang Han, who provided clothes and utensils for the court.

It is said that on this day, he was drinking with Zhang Han in the ancient style restaurant in Xianyang. Zhang Han saw that Zhou Wen had been depressed for a few days, and when he pushed the cup and changed the lamp.

Zhang Han asked; 'Brother Zhou Wen, why have you been depressed in the past few days, is there anything difficult? I might as well let my brother hear it, maybe I can do a little bit.'

"Brother Zhang Han, you and my brother, maybe, tomorrow I will die in this foreign land, and I will never be able to return to Chu State" Zhou Wen said sadly, and drank this Qin wine with a burning temperament, and was choked and coughed.

Although he has been in the Qin State for many years, he still remembers the warmth and sweetness of the rice wine of the Chu State, and he still can't adapt to this sad Qin Feng ancient wine. I don't know if I was choked or if I had tears in the first place, and I couldn't control my words when I was choked.

Seeing this, Zhang Han hurriedly walked forward and helped Zhou Wen up.

'What is the difficulty of my brother, my brother was originally a Qin person, and my ancestor got this position because of his military exploits, although he is a small official, but my brother might as well make it clear what is the difficulty, so that my brother is so out of shape, he is crying and crying in this court. Brother doesn't know how to help?'

Hearing Zhang Han's words, Zhou Wen also felt quite out of shape. So he wiped away his tears and returned to his seat. In the past few days, the embarrassment of the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State was told to Zhang Han. Zhang Han listened to it and unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and laughed out loud.

"Brother Zhou Wen wants you to be a dignified seven-foot man, and you go all over the world with a sword, but today you are disturbed by such a trivial matter, and you are crying and crying in the public to be that woman and a child, isn't it embarrassing to be a person in the world' Zhang Han said while drinking the Qin wine in his hand.

"Brother Zhang Han, don't laugh at my brother, what good plan do you have to help my monarch and ministers get out of this difficulty." ’

'Brother come near, and listen to me, you just have to do this and this to ensure that you can be a king and a minister.'

Listening to this, Zhou Wen couldn't help but shoot the case, "Brother is a good plan, why didn't I think of it, I will go back and report to Lord Huang Xie, let him prepare early, brother and brother have said goodbye" As he spoke, Zhou Wen got up to leave, but was pulled by Zhang Han

"Hey, my brother is gone, I don't know when I can see each other again, I might as well drink this cup of Qin wine, it can be regarded as a brother giving you a ride" Zhang Han said and filled Zhou Wen's wine glass, and then poured a full glass himself, raised it to his mouth, flicked his long sleeves, and drank it all. Then a song was sung.

Heroes of troubled times rise from all directions,

Men meet true temperament.

1000 cups,

Qionglin Feast.

What kind of enemy's affection is sincerely looking forward to it.

Now in Xianyang,

I don't know when we met again.

There is an end to the ends of the earth,

There is no alternative period for this situation.

This heart turns into lovesick rain,

When you reunite with you.

Hearing this song, Zhou Wen then walked into the front hall, sat in front of the guqin, plucked the strings on the shaft, gently twisted and slowly wiped and picked, the sound of the piano was like a mountain flowing down, pouring thousands of miles, like an autumn sunset, and the killing atmosphere was not going to go around. With the song, the people in the whole restaurant were also moved by this parting feeling and felt compassionate.

This wine was unconsciously drunk from morning to sunrise, and then drunk until sunset. The people in the troubled times feel the injustice of their fate, and feel that they are born at the right time, they can make meritorious contributions, and in the world of great contention, all bloody people must have a fighting heart.

'ZHANG Yi. Su Qin was originally a member of the same family, but he also parted ways. PANG Juan. Sun Bin finally took his life, you and me, with this drunkenness, even if he meets each other in the year, it is a great pleasure in life. Zhang Han said before and after with the strength of wine, Zhou Wen was impatient in his heart, it was related to the great cause of the Chu State, and he couldn't mess around here anymore.

Zhang Han is still young, and he doesn't understand 'time to wait for me' Thinking of this, Zhou Wen got up and helped Zhang Han up. "Shopkeeper, come and take a hand, help this boy to the back hall to rest, and I will settle the wine money and room money for you" As he spoke, he took out a gold ingot from his bosom and put it on the table.

"Thank you for the reward" said and put the ingot of gold in his arms, and helped Zhang Han to leave, no problem, Zhang Han was already drunk. His mouth was still shouting and drinking.

Zhou Wen's ancient style restaurant is already sunset, and there will be a curfew in less than two hours. Xianyang City has been extremely unpeaceful in recent days, and I heard that a ranger has infiltrated Xianyang and intends to assassinate the King of Qin. Xianyang Ling heard the rumors, in recent days to step up the inspection of entering and exiting the city gate, early in the night curfew, this Xianyang City was built by the Shang Jun presided over the construction, has long been not the old capital of Liyang. Even Dongfang Linzi is nothing more than that. The streets are wide and can be paralleled by eight four-horse carriages, and there are countless merchants coming and going, and it is no longer the era of 'the world's scholars do not enter the Qin State', and the merchants of the six eastern countries and the Hu merchants of Linhu are all traded in specific markets. Although there is a passage through the market, the merchants are preparing to pack up their goods and prepare to close, Qin Law is strict and self-explanatory, although the merchants are reluctant, but they do not dare to joke with their heads.

If I don't get back in time, I'm afraid I'll have to delay another day. Zhou Wen thought silently in his heart, but he added more strength under his feet, and he couldn't wait to grow wings and rush back immediately.

'Ahh Why are you so reckless?'

With a coquettish voice, Zhou Wen realized that he was patronizing and was in a hurry, but he didn't expect to bump into this beautiful girl who came out of the rouge shop. Zhou Wen hurriedly got up from the ground, quickly pulled the woman up, and then took a step back, bowed and saluted, and muttered in his mouth

'The student is abrupt and offends the girl, but I don't know if the girl is seriously injured'.

"You look weak, you don't think about it, and you still have the strength to do it" The girl saw that Zhou Wen's face was like a bright moon, and her aura was high, and she couldn't help but have some liking in her heart.

The mouth was also refreshing, and he did not blame Zhou Wen. 'Childe is in a hurry, is there something urgent? The girl asked casually as she dusted off the dirt on her body.

Zhou Wen was embarrassed to speak because he bumped into the other party. Just standing there and blaming myself. Since ancient times, heroes have been sad to pass the beauty pass, although Zhou Wen has served the prince of Chu for many years, and Huang Xie often enters the Qin Palace, and sees thousands of beauties. I never thought that the person in front of me today was as beautiful as a flower, and I felt so familiar, as if I had known each other for a long time, and I couldn't help but feel a little excited in my heart.

In the next week, Lord Huang Xie's doorman dared to ask the girl's honorable name. Zhou Wen took the opportunity to report to his family, thinking that when he escorted the prince back to China and ascended the throne, he was also a meritorious person, so naturally he had to be added to the rank of knight, and it would definitely be troublesome to look for it again.

The girl hid her face and smiled, and then said, "Hey, I'm still a person in the official mansion, the prince is a close servant, and the future is immeasurable." My name is Li Yan, a native of Zhao State, and I came to Qin State with my father and brother to do some business. Recently, the market has closed early, and business is very deserted, so there is a chance to come out. I heard that the rouge in this shop comes from the Western Regions and is in excellent condition. I plan to buy some rouge gouache to take back to Zhao and give it to my sisters. It's good now,' he said, spreading his hands and making a helpless gesture.

Zhou Wen realized how much trouble he had caused, and he only cared about apologizing and thinking about the girl just now, and didn't care about taking a closer look. It turned out that Zhou Wen bumped just now. knocked all the rouge out of the girl's hand and scattered it all over the ground. It's everywhere, it's colorful, and the aroma hits people. Li Yan stood in the middle, like a fairy descending to earth.

Sunset west wind,

The beautiful woman looks forward to the east of the street.

The hero is full of pity,

Soar to the sky.

No matter how important things in the world are, they are also washed away. The 100,000 in Zhou Wen's eyes was urgent, and he was not so anxious. However, the girl understands the righteousness, 'Prince Gongzi is close to him, there must be something important to do, so Gongzi will go and get busy first.' The little girl is about to return to the capital of Zhao in the near future, if there is a fate, she will definitely see you again' said and turned to leave. Zhou Wen was speechless for a while, and could only watch Li Yan leave. Looking up at the sunset, there was still a few quarters of an hour before the curfew, and then I remembered that I still had something important to do. As he spoke, he quickened his pace and ran towards the official residence of Prince Chu.
