Peaceful days always fly by.

In the blink of an eye, the vigorous Qin-Chu war was about to end, and the battle in Jiangdong to pursue the remnants of the Xiang clan would only be treated as a local war in the county.

How to stabilize the north, or eliminate the threat from the Huns on the steppe, was a difficult difficulty for the nascent Qin state.

North wind.

It was like a cold, scraping on his cheeks, and there was a cold and biting pain.

Li Yuan abandoned the chariot, rode on a red war horse as tall as a horse, and accompanied by Han Xin, Li Zhongxiang and other generals, rode his horse and whipped all the way to the north.

Nine years.

With a flick of a finger.

In the non-stop battle for survival, Li Yuan experienced the entire process of building the emerging Qin State single-handedly, how many battles were fought in nine years, and how many times the dangerous shoals and rapids broke through, Li Yuan really can't remember. In his heart, the only thing he can't forget is the memory from the future.

In this life, it may be difficult to go back.

The space-time machine that the soul travels through has not yet appeared in the year of Li Yuan, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to have such a scientific miracle in the next few years.

Since he is destined to stay in this era, he must live well and use all his life experience to write a legend that belongs to him Li Yuan.

Today, he was finally able to proudly say: he did it, after the first emperor, only Li Yuan'er.

The name of Shenwu Marquis, in the Qin State, is no different from the emperor, in the court of Chang'an, Chen Ping, Li Zheng, Guan Yue and other ministers have begun to brew a play, and Li Yuan is promoted to the "throne".

King Shenwu.

This is another rather domineering title after the "First Emperor", but it has been won by the Qin State. Including the old Qin people in Guanzhong, the new Qin people in Guandong, and the unanimous approval of the Qin people in Bashu, Hexi and other places, in fact, from the analysis of the opinions summarized from various places, the music in many places is even more radical, and directly asked Chen to ask Li Yuan to succeed to the "emperor" position.

Whoever gives Haode a life is the undisputed candidate for the emperor. Even in the Guanzhong, where the old Qin people are most concentrated, there are few people who will still be entangled in the bloodline of the surname Win, symbolizing the remnants of the clan Shili, after the chaos of Chen Di and Ying's two failures. has been wiped out, and the only few fish that have escaped the net have been hiding in panic all day long.

The people of Qin, who were immersed in happiness and joy, cared more about the present and future than the past. As for the new Qin people in the Kanto region, they would prefer to see a nascent empire that is different from the winning Qin. The winning clan represents cruelty, represents the difference in rank, and the difference between the old Qin people and the new Qin people is like the water of the chasm. It never stops.

Kings and Emperors.

The sound is the same, but the meaning is completely different.

It is not easy to be a good emperor, Li Yuan has the personality of a modern person, he likes to enjoy and be free. In this sense, once you are an emperor, then you have to be diligent in your governance, and you have to live the kind of days when you have to go to court early in the morning and have countless things to decide every day.

Not the emperor. Just be a "prince". From the nineteenth-level marquis of the military lord system, to the twentieth-level king, it was also because Li Yuanruo was not promoted. The titles of those generals who have followed for many years have not been pressed.

The affairs of governing the country are managed by Chen Ping, Li Zheng, Guan Yue and a group of officials who govern the country.

When the country is unified, of course, the founding ministers must be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and the conditions for rewards are not only after the substantive promotion, but also the nominal title.

For example, veterans like Zhang Han and Xin Sheng, when they were about to withdraw from the military world, what they most longed for was not to lead an army, but to become a prince; Another example is Wang Shang, Luo Jia, Jiang Yu, Han Xin, the backbone generals of the Qin army, who have followed Li Yuan to the east and west over the years, and it is understandable to give a "Hou" the honor when they are almost promoted.

Only in this way can other new generals, such as Li Zhongxiang, Feng Xuan, and Zhang Pingping, see more clearly their goals for future development.

The unification of the Central Plains does not mean that the Qin State can sit back and relax, and a more powerful and extensive Qin State will inevitably encounter more powerful challenges in the process of expansion and development.

For the young people of the Qin State who are looking forward to proving themselves on the battlefield, this is the most haode era, and it is also an era when men show their bloodiness and ability.

――。

Easy waterfront.

The main force of the Qin army heading north was marching towards Yandi in the bitter cold.

In October, the river has begun to freeze, and this year, the amount of water coming from the upper reaches has decreased significantly, and the weather is even colder than last year. Under such bad weather, people living in the north need to endure greater survival tests, and for the nomads living in the Mobei grassland, with batches of cattle and sheep freezing to death, their spring days in the coming year will become very difficult.

Li Yuan's decision to go to Yanbei to inspect this time was not on a whim, but precisely to deal with the possible large-scale attack of the Huns.

After the setbacks of the first two southward trips, Li Yuan and Han Xin both had the same judgment, that is, if Mao Dun went south, he would definitely attack with all his might, and he would not have any more concerns.

And counting the northern defense line of Qin, Yanbei is undoubtedly the weakest link, Yandi is different from Guanzhong, Yunzhong, and Jiuyuan, and the other three places have the rammed earth Great Wall built by Qin and Zhao in those years, and there are dangerous passes stuck on the border line, even if the Huns' cavalry breaks through to the pass, they cannot get long-term support.

And Yanbei is different, although the Great Wall of Yan also has, but because Yanbei's Liaodong, Xiangping, Yuyang and the northern prairie are connected, the terrain is flat and there are few mountains, and there are very few places where the Qin army can block, and what is more worrying is that there is no fulcrum to use in the area of Jixian except for Yanshan Mountain can be fortified.

In other words, as long as the Huns broke through a little, they could drive straight in, and after passing Jixian County, the Central Plains was like a woman with open arms, almost at the mercy of the Huns.

It is urgent to strengthen the guard of Yandi, and this time in the Qin army team that accompanied the north, in addition to some of the Qin army veterans, there are also a considerable number of Qidi young people who have passed the selection, and these young people whose eyes are still soaked with a desire for glory and victory are undergoing the first test since joining the army.

On the high hill on the riverside, Captain Ma Jin rode on his war horse, frowned and tightened the big coat on his body, and then stared at the group of new soldiers crossing the river with a serious expression.

After the test of the First Battle of Chu, Ma Jin's military rank was promoted by one level, from a military marquis to a lieutenant, Ma Jin also went from a junior officer who obeyed the command of others to a middle-level general of the Qin army with relatively independent command.

"Order, the whole army hasten speed, before sunset, must rush to the camp twenty miles away, and those who delay must not return to the camp-!" Ma Jin shouted the order.

"No!" The herald scout replied with a hot breath, and at the same time, the war horse under his crotch hurriedly ran.

"Hey, which general is that, with such an aura?" Looking at Ma Jin's tall back, the new pawns who had just come out of the icy river water were envious and whispered to each other.

"You don't know this, Captain Ma of the Wuhou Battalion?" The quick-talking soldier next to him replied.

"Pro-military camp, this is terrible, I heard that I want to enter this battalion, but I have to go through one hundred miles, pass five levels and kill six generals?" When it came to the pro-military camp, the new soldiers of the Qin army were even more excited.

"Maybe we will have this opportunity in the future, I know that Captain Ma was captured by Xiang Chu before, and even he can be favored by Wuhou, of course we can." The new soldiers talked a lot, exchanging and inquiring about various news in the Qin army.

The name of the person.

The shadow of the tree.

With the victories of the Qin army on the battlefield again and again, among the soldiers of the Qin battalion, who does not know that more than half of the generals of the Qin State today are from the pro-military battalion where Li Yuan directly served in front of him, and the captain Ma Xiaowei he just saw will undoubtedly become an important general on the side of the town in a short time.

"Young man, it's time to polish!" Ma Jin glanced at the new soldiers, his eyes gradually warmed, and he gave a whip hard, pulled the reins and ran towards the front of the group.

Once upon a time, like these young soldiers, he was not afraid of ice and snow, not afraid of the cold, as long as the soldiers pointed and the flag was going, it was a sea of swords and fires, and he was not afraid to move forward. (To be continued......)
