At the foot of Mount Taimuro, two horses are galloping along the mountain road.

On horseback were two high-spirited young knights, the one behind was wearing a bright yellow brocade robe, and his momentum was a little calmer, and the one in front was wearing a vermilion brocade robe, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a face like Fu Fan.

On the top of the red-robed young man's head, there was also a huge golden eagle.

"Huh......" The red-robed knight galloping in front of him strangled the horse under his crotch, and then stretched out his right arm, and the golden eagle hovering above his head fell with its wings and stopped on it, and then the knight turned back to the yellow-robed knight and said, "Zihe, I haven't gone out hunting with you for a long time, and I don't know if your archery skills have improved?" ”

This yellow-robed knight is none other than Xiang Zheng, the son of Chu Guotai, Xiang Zheng has just performed the crown salute not long after, and the word Xiang Zhuang gave him is the word "and", which is taken from the political Tonghe, as for the other red-robed knight, it is Xiang Zheng's hardcore sworn friend, the eldest son of the Duke of Wei Gaochu, Gao Lang, and the word is bright.

"Little brother's archery skills have only improved slightly, but they can't compare with you." With Gao Lang, Xiang Zheng didn't have the crampedness and nervousness when he got along with Xiang Zhuang at all, there was quite a momentum in his speech and demeanor, and after a pause, Xiang Zheng said again, "Ziliang, I heard that half a month ago in Dangjun, you personally led the troops to suppress a group of bandits?" ”

"That's it." Gao Lang is young after all, and he is inevitably a little proud when he talks about this, "Zi and you don't know, that gang of bandits is really tough, although there are not many people, but all of them are old soldiers, not only skillful, but also cunning and abnormal, the younger brother took three hundred elite horses to drive them six counties and eight hundred miles before they were wiped out." ”

After that, Gao Lang flicked his right arm and released the golden eagle into the air, saying, "I can destroy this gang of bandits." Thanks to Xiao Jin, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to bite their whereabouts at all. ”

Xiang Zheng listened leisurely and said in a low voice: "Ziliang, you are so lucky that you can often follow your father on expeditions, but I don't know when my father will let me go to the battlefield?" ”

Gao Lang said: "Zihe." It's almost there. ”

Xiang Zhengdao: "How do you know? ”

"My father said that." Gao Lang squinted at Xiao Jin, who was flying higher and higher in the air, almost trying to burrow into the clouds, and then said, "The king once told my father that in our Great Chu, a prince who has never been on the battlefield cannot succeed to the throne. Therefore, the king will definitely arrange for you to go to the battlefield, either this year or next year, and at the latest it will not exceed the year after next. ”

Before the words fell, a fast horse had already chased along the mountain road, but on the horseback was a knight in Xuanyi, who shouted while galloping: "Tai Yanzi." The king is in a hurry, the king is in a hurry......"

Xiang Zheng and Gao Lang, who were riding their horses, stopped one after another.

After a while, the Xuanyi guard caught up and gasped: "Tai Yanzi, the king asked you to return to Luoyang quickly." ”

Xiang Zheng turned his head sideways and exchanged glances with Gao Lang. said: "Dare to ask, what happened in Luoyang?" ”

Xuan Yiwei gasped and said: "The king of Qi, Han Yu, is called the emperor, and the two alliances of Hezong and Lianheng have decided to join forces to fight against it, and the king urgently summons Tai Yanzi to return to the capital, just to fight Qi." ”

"Got it." Xiang Zheng waved his hand and retreated from Xuanyiwei.

"Haha." Gao Lang looked up to the sky and laughed, excited. "How, let me say? Jian Zihe, the king is probably going to take you as the main general this time. Leading the army to defeat the Qi country! ”

General Xiang Zheng said suspiciously: "No, even if it is really cut down, the main general should also be the second brother." ”

"Aji?" Gao Lang waved his hand and said disapprerovitically, "He is a reckless man, he can only be a general." Don't be handsome, the king knows it in his heart. Zihe, you just look at it, the Lord of Vaqi is none other than you! ”…,

Xiang Zheng's face couldn't help but flush, and said: "Ah Lang, if my father really thinks that I am the main general, you will definitely help me, and I will definitely recommend you to my father as a deputy general." ”

"Needless to say." Gao Lang laughed and said, "There is a general by the king's side, how can I be without Gao Lang by the side of the prince?" ”

"Alang, let's go, let's go back to Luoyang!" Then the two of them turned back one after another and galloped back along the rugged mountain road.

In the spring of 182 B.C., the king of Qi Han was proclaimed emperor, which immediately attracted the sympathy of the world.

In the spring of February, the two alliances and six countries sent a total of 150,000 troops to join forces to attack the army.

The Chu army took Tai Jianzi Xiang Zheng as the main general and Gao Lang as the deputy general, leading 30,000 troops to attack Xue County; Han, Han, and Zhao sent a total of 100,000 troops, with Zhou Yafu, the captain of Tongguan in the Great Han Dynasty, as the main general, crossing the river from Nanpi and attacking Li; The Yan army and the North Mink army combined 20,000 troops, crossed the frozen sea in winter, landed in Jiaodong, and attacked Mi County.

These three-way armies are like three sharp knives, which go straight to Linzi, the capital of Qi and the country.

"The country harms me, the country harms me!" Han Yu roared and swept the arrows, inkstones, and pen holders on the gold case to the ground, grabbed a brocade box casually, and was about to throw it on the ground only to find that it was the jade seal of the country, so he hurriedly and carefully put it back on the case, and then continued to point at Lou Jing and scolded, "Prime Minister, this time you can make me miserable." ”

Lou Jing said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, the so-called Six Nations Alliance is actually not a concern at all. ”

"Not at all? What a big breath for the prime minister! Han Qi said angrily, "The Chu army of Xue County and the Yan army of Jiaodong are just that, and the first soldiers are only thirty or twenty thousand, but there are 100,000 people in the Han, Han, and Zhao armies that have attacked the past, and all of them are elites who have experienced a hundred battles, how is it good, how is this good?" ”

Lou Jing said calmly: "Your Majesty, the minister will raise one person as a general, and you can retire from the Han, Han, and Zhao armies." ”

"Oh?" When Han Yu heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, and asked impatiently, "Who can be the general?" ”

"Captain Shen Tujia." Lou Jing said solemnly, "General Shentu is proficient in strategy, skilled in bows and horses, if General Shentu leads the troops to go out on the expedition, he will be able to break the enemy and make meritorious contributions and protect the peace of the country." ”

"Okay, the minister of state will immediately draft a decree for me." Han Qi said without thinking, "Add Shen Tujia as a general, lead 30,000 troops, and meet the enemy in the future." After thinking about it, Han Qi said again, "But in addition to the combined forces of Han, Han, and Zhao, what about the Chu army of Xue County and the Yan army and the Northern Mink army of Jiaodong?" ”

Lou Jing said: "These two lines of soldiers are outnumbered, there is no need to worry, when they penetrate deep into the territory of Qi, General Shentu may have already broken the Han, Han, and Zhao coalition forces, so that they can return to Ge with a blow, and the Chu, Yan, and Bei Raccoon armies will be destroyed under the city of Linzi. ”

Xiang Zhuang walked into a ridge of land, stretched out his hand to pick up the snow of the hòu, and the green seedlings were exposed underneath.

The county guard of Dangjun stepped forward, pointed to the vast snowfield in front of him and said: "King, winter wheat has been planted in this hundred hectares, as long as there is no natural disaster, at least 200,000 stone wheat can be harvested next summer!" After harvesting wheat, you can also sow beans, and in autumn, you can harvest another crop of grain. ”

Xiang Zhuang gathered the snow back to cover the green seedlings and asked, "Yang Junshou, how much arable land is there in Waihuang?" ”

Dangjun county shou surnamed Yang, the name is not sick, is the first Tai student member, first as the pavilion chief, successively served as the county lord bó, county magistrate, county order and to the county, the five counties of Wei merged into the Chu State, a large number of young and strong officials led by Yang Wuxi were ordered to go to the counties of Wei to serve as local officials, it has been more than two years. …,

Yang Wuxian arched his hand and said respectfully: "Back to the king, Waihuang has a total of more than 9,800 hectares of cultivated land, and most of them are high-quality land, but unfortunately after a long period of war, the population loss is serious, although some of the people who fled the famine have returned to their hometowns, and there are many bandits, but there are still too few people, so there are less than 3,000 hectares of land to be cultivated. ”

Xiang Zhuang heard the words and changed color slightly, and said: "What, just one Waihuang County, there are nearly 10,000 hectares of high-quality land?" ”

10,000 hectares of land is 1 million mu, even if it is calculated according to the yield of two stones per mu, there are also two million stone harvests, and Waihuang is only a medium-sized county in Weidi, if the agricultural potential of the entire Wei land can be developed, then how considerable should it be? It seems that it is no accident that Wei can become the most densely populated area of the Chinese people.

Yang Wuxian nodded, and said worriedly: "King, there is a sentence that the minister doesn't know whether to say or not?" ”

Xiang Zhuang waved his hand and said loudly: "To put it bluntly, the widow came to Dangjun this time to observe the people's feelings. ”

Then the minister spoke up. Yang Wuzhi said, "The growth of winter wheat in Dangjun County is not bad, if nothing else, this summer will be a bumper harvest, but at this time it is only the beginning of February, there are still more than three months before the harvest, and most of the people in the county have run out of cooking, if the government can't release grain relief, I'm afraid there will be a famine." ”

"This matter has already been arranged." Xiang Zhuang waved his hand to interrupt Yang Wuxian and said, "Yang Junshou sent someone to Ao Cang to pay for grain. ”

"Okura?" Yang Wuxian shook his head and said, "King, the minister went to Ao Cang to borrow grain half a month ago, but Ao Cang Ling told the minister to leave the minister, and there is no grain to borrow in the warehouse. ”

"That was half a month ago." Xiang Zhuang said with a smile, "Now there is grain in Aocang." ”

With Han Qi's ascension to the throne as emperor, the attention of Han and Zhao has been completely attracted by the battle of Vaqi, and the monitoring of the border of Chu has been greatly weakened, which gives Xuan Yiwei an opportunity to take advantage of.

Of course, this is just a trick, this gang of "thieves" is actually the dead soldiers of Xuanyiwei pretending, and the grain burned by them is only a few hundred stones, and the 2.5 million stone grain that was hoarded in the Yanchi warehouse earlier has actually been secretly transported to a cottage near Hangu Pass at the southern foot of Taihang Mountain in batches, and then secretly transported back to Aocang by waterway.

Although the operation failed to achieve all the strategic goals, the purpose of looting the wealth of Guanzhong and robbing the grain storage of Han, Han and Han Taicang was achieved, and it also greatly alleviated the grain shortage caused by the forcible development of Wei by Chu State...... ）
