Three days later, Xianyang Cangli.

Xiang Zhuang was inspecting the almost emptied granary, accompanied by Wei Yi and Wu She.

After inspecting the granary on the ground, Xiang Zhuang asked Jin Xiang to open the top cover of the cellar one by one, and most of the cellars were also emptied by the Chu army, and the Chu army collected 60,000 stone of grain from the Xianyang warehouse, I have to say that Xiao He, this old guy is really good at internal affairs, and these corns alone are enough for 20,000 Chu troops to eat for half a year!

When Jin Xiang opened the last row of cellars that were well hidden, Wu Shi unexpectedly found that the cellar was full, full of wheat, millet, mushroom and other grains, and the dry air was full of the fragrance of grain. ”

Xiang Zhuang smiled lightly and didn't answer, but Wei Yi's eyes wiped a trace of coldness.

The corn in this row of cellars is a big gift from Xiang Zhuang and Wei Yu to Liu Bang's old son!

After the Xianyang Cangli was emptied by the Chu army, and the summer grain in dozens of surrounding counties was also frantically looted by the Chu army, what will be the most lacking in the land of Guanzhong at that time? At that time, what is most lacking is not the life-saving food that saves the lives of the people in Guanzhong and stabilizes the morale of the Han army, but the grain that replants the autumn grain!

So, when Xiao He saw that the corn in this cellar had been preserved intact, what was his first reaction? At that time, Xiao He's first reaction was not to use the corn in these cellars to help the Han army or the people of Guanzhong, but to use these corns as grain seeds and distribute them to the soldiers and civilians in Guanzhong to replant autumn grain!

Thinking of this, Wei Yi's eyes suddenly became more and more cold.

Only Wei Yu and Xiang Zhuang knew that after these grains were sown in the ground, they would never grow crops!

This is because these grains have already been taken out of the cellar and fried in an iron kettle until they are half-cooked!

Once Xiao He is calculated, then this year's autumn grain in Guanzhong will also be harvested...... At that time, the entire land of Guanzhong will fall into a famine of unprecedented scale! Unless Xiao He can urgently transfer enough food from Bashu, otherwise, the people of Guanzhong are afraid that they will be displaced and starve to death......

And this is Xiang Zhuang's gift to Liu Bang!

After this catastrophe, Guanzhong does not have three to five years of recuperation and recuperation, don't want to recover his vitality, before he recovers, Liu Bang Lao'er will not want to chase the Central Plains, as for three or five years later, Liu Bang Lao'er is already sixty years old, and there is still a few ambitions left to compete for the world? Hey.

Just as he was proud, another pro-soldier came to report that the army had been assembled.

At that moment, Xiang Zhuang, Wei Yi and the confused Wu Shi left Xianyang Cangxiao.

##########

When they came to the north gate of Xianyang, the 20,000 Chu troops had already lined up in the wilderness on the north bank of Jingshui.

At this time, the composition of the Chu army was already extremely complicated, there were Chu people like Huan Chu and Ji Bu, Wei people like Pang Yu and Jin Xiang, Qi people like Tian Heng and Zidu, and old Qin people like Xi Qilie and Zicheshi, especially the old Qin clan who had just joined the Chu army, and the atmosphere between them and the Chu people was still a little stiff.

For all this, Xiang Zhuang saw it in his eyes, but there was nothing he could do.

The antagonism between the Chu people and the Qin people will not ease so quickly, especially the elders of the Chu army like Huan Chu and Ji Bu, I am afraid that they will not have a good impression of the old Qin clan such as Baili Xian and Zicheshi for a long time, but it doesn't matter, as time goes by, let the big guys fight together a few more battles, and it will slowly get along.

Xiang Zhuang had no doubt about this, because the 20,000 army was still under his strong control.

Huan Chu, Ji Bu, and Wu Shi are not used to the old Qin clan, but they don't have soldiers in their hands, so it is impossible to burst out of a large-scale melee with the old Qin clan, as long as there is no big scuffle, the situation will not get out of control, as long as the situation is not out of control, the matter is relatively simple to deal with, at most kill a few heads.

In addition to more than 20,000 troops, there were more than 5,000 carts accompanying the north!

Among them, more than 4,000 carts were loaded with grain, all of which added up to more than 100,000 stones, including 60,000 stone of grain captured from the Xianyang warehouse, and more than 50,000 stone from the surrounding counties.

In addition, there are more than 1,000 carts of ironware, cloth, silk, gold and silver jewelry and other materials urgently needed by the Hu people.

These materials were intended to be used by Xiang Zhuang to exchange horses with the Hu people, and if he wanted to turn all the 20,000 Chu troops into cavalry, the horses needed were not a small amount.

However, the Chu army did not levy enough cattle or mules and horses.

Fortunately, there are more than 4,000 Han prisoners of war to drive, and putting a rope on them can also be used as a cow and horse, after all, the road condition from Xianyang to Jiuyuan is still quite good, and the Great Qin Empire spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build a straight road, from Xianyang Beixiao to Jiuyuan County, with a total length of nearly 1,400 miles!

Xiang Zhuang rode a black horse and walked slowly in front of the Chu army.

It wasn't until the last team of Chu troops was inspected that Xiang Zhuang turned his horse's head, raised his right hand and quietly pressed towards the north, and shouted: "The army is open!" ”

Suddenly, a horn sounded in the Chu army's array.

In the continuous sound of horns, a group of Chu troops rustled and turned around, and then walked along the flat and wide straight road towards the north with scattered steps, and after two hours, the last Chu army finally left the northern suburbs of Xianyang, and on the northern horizon in the distance, there were rolling dust gradually rising, almost covering half of the sky.

##########

Such a big movement of the Chu army, of course, could not hide the meticulous work of the Han army.

That night, Zhang Liang got the news that the Chu army had evacuated Xianyang, Zhang Liang did not dare to slack off, and quickly summoned Zhou Bo, Li Shang, Xiahou Ying and other generals and Chen Ping to Xingyuan to discuss countermeasures, Liu Bang will still borrow grain from Han Wangxin in Hedong, and the news just came back that 50,000 stone military grain has been borrowed, and it can be transported to Hangu Pass within a few days.

"What? The remnants of the Chu army withdrew? Xiahou Ying said in disbelief, "Can't you?" ”

"And that's to be expected." Li Shang said lightly, "It's just that I didn't expect Xiang Zhuang Xiao'er to take the Meridian Valley Road to Hanzhong, but went north, could it be that Xiang Zhuang Xiao'er really planned to go north to Jiuyuan to be with Hu Ren?" "Regarding the current situation in Jiuyuan County, Li Shang and the others are all very unfamiliar.

In reality, under Liu Bang, Xiao He also knows something about Jiuyuan County.

However, Xiao He also didn't know much, because the old Qin people who controlled Jiuyuan County did not return to Han, although Xiao He sent envoys to Jiuyuan several times to recruit surrender, but they were all rejected by Meng Tian's false son Meng Yan.

"Maybe it's just the old man's eye-showing." Zhou Bo said, "Maybe the Chu army went north to Jiuyuan just to make a show, but halfway to the east, it suddenly turned east, and then forcibly crossed the river from a certain ferry into Handi?" After that, Zhou Bo strode to the screen again, patted the hanging map, and said, "When you enter the Korean land, there is a lot of room for the Chu army to turn around." ”

"The Chu army can't cross the river at all!" Li Shang said coldly, "The cavalry of the infant is guarding the east bank." ”

"But Xiangzhuang Xiao'er doesn't know." Zhou Bo said indifferently, "The Chu army doesn't know that the cavalry army guarding the east bank of the river is keeping an eye on their itinerary, so the possibility of the Chu army turning east halfway through and forcibly crossing the river is still quite large, and we have to make arrangements as soon as possible." ”

"How?" Xiahou Ying said sullenly, "The military rations haven't been solved yet, who dares to move lightly?" ”

An inexplicable fierce light flashed in Zhou Bo's eyes, and he turned back to Zhang Liang and said, "Sir, why don't you send another elite soldier Qiao Xiang Chu Army to raise food on the spot?" ”

Zhang Liang's face changed slightly when he heard this, he knew what Zhou Bo meant by raising food on the spot, the so-called raising grain on the spot is to let the Han officers and soldiers loot the people in Guanzhong along the way like thieves, although this can deal with the dilemma of insufficient military food, but at the same time, it will also greatly damage the foundation of the Han King in Guanzhong, which is not conducive to the future cause of competing for the crown!

In the final analysis, this is Guanzhong and not Chu, even if Qiao disguises himself as the Chu army and will not ruin the reputation of the Han army, but what is destroyed is the foundation of the Han king after all, Guanzhong has been sacked by the Chu army and the Han army twice, and how many people can be left? After the two catastrophes, how long will it take for the land of Guanzhong to recuperate?

But if you don't send troops to pursue, will you just watch the Chu army calmly turn in?

At this moment, as wise as Zhang Liang, he is also hesitant to decide, this decision is really really difficult to make!

##########

When Zhang Liang hesitated, the Chu army had already walked hundreds of miles north along the straight road!

In the chaotic marching columns, Xiang Zhuang looked at the wide and straight straight road under his feet, and couldn't help but think a lot.

Xiang Zhuang saw a documentary about the Great Qin Straight Road in his previous life, which quoted a sentence describing the Great Qin Straight Road in Sima Qian's "Historical Records", Xiang Zhuang was extremely impressed by this sentence, and still remembers it completely, this sentence is like this: From Jiuyuan to Ganquan, the mountains and valleys are annihilated, thousands of eight hundred miles!

Sima Qian's literary brilliance of this rotten man is really not covered, so many scholars in later generations respect him, and they all think that there is no one like him in history, this is not unreasonable, a sentence of trenches and valleys, 1,800 miles, Liao Liao's eight words, will describe this huge scale of the project to the fullest!

The Great Qin Straight Road is another huge legacy left by Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the ages, to future generations!

After that, the two most powerful Han dynasties of the Qiang Han and the Tang Dynasty, almost all of their strong counterattacks against the northern nomads were carried out along this straight road, and if there was no straight road built by Qin Shi Huang, it would be much more difficult to counterattack the Huns and Turks against the Xiongnu and Turks whether it was the Han Empire or the Tang Empire! It's also much more expensive!

Moreover, the scale of the Daqin Straight Road Project is huge, and the construction conditions are difficult, which is beyond the imagination of later generations, especially the extremely low level of productivity at that time, which is particularly rare.

If you have to make a comparison, I am afraid that only the Grand Canal built by Emperor Yang of Sui can be compared, but during the period of Emperor Yang of Sui, both the population level and the level of productivity were far more than those of the First Emperor, which also shows that the cultivation and warfare system of the Qin Empire has reached the extreme in the overall use of the power of the state machine!
