Chapter 31 Heroes share the same fate

Heng was full of sorrow: "Your Highness, the water of the Huai River is very urgent, and there is still Fang Qingchen behind the Shuntian army along the river, and if you want to fight, you have to fight quickly, but you can't prepare enough warships now, and you will ...... when the time comes."

Qin Xufei gritted his teeth and said, "Build a bridge!" ”

Liu Heng was stunned: "The husband of the people ......"

Qin Xufei shook his head resolutely: "The people don't know how to protect themselves on the battlefield, and if the people are forcibly recruited to build bridges, there will inevitably be tens of thousands of casualties." ”

Liu Heng hesitated, and finally said: "Your Highness, even if it is our own warriors, it is difficult to protect ourselves if we want to build a bridge in the torrent, whether it is with the people or our own soldiers, the casualties in this battle will not be small." It's not that I'm afraid of death, but if we die like this, our soldiers are only afraid that everyone will be unwilling! Over the years, His Royal Highness has treated the Chu people very well, and there have been many criticisms in the army, and it is all up to His Highness's prestige and bravery to suppress them. Now if you ...... again After all, we are not Chu people, every soldier can no longer be replenished, and if we lose one, we will always lose one. Such a big sacrifice, when we return home......"

Qin Xufei sighed lowly: "Ah Heng, we can't go back." ”

Hearing this sudden sentence, Liu Heng was stunned, and when he raised his eyes, he saw his Royal Highness, and his expression was already deeply gloomy.

"Previously, the state of Chu was our enemy. Now, we're here to put down roots. We were raised by the water and soil of the Qin State, but the Chu State is the place where we are buried. This is our future home, and for our own sake and for the sake of our descendants, we must always try to manage it, try to make it prosperous, and try to make our existence a little less hostile and hateful. ”

Qin Xufei walked out of the study slowly, looking at the sky above his head. Look at the ground beneath your feet.

"Our children. It will be nurtured and grown by this land and water. We should always do our best to protect it, and we should not leave an indelible sea of blood and hatred for our descendants.

Liu Heng was silent, and followed him into the sun, but he didn't feel a trace of warmth, and his heart was painful.

yes, they don't have a home anymore. This is the only place they can live. They are going to survive and multiply here, and those soldiers are going to marry and have children here, and slowly put down roots......

"I'm sorry." This moment. Qin Xufei's voice was extremely low and light.

Liu Heng smiled and stared at his lord: "What is Your Highness talking about?" ”

Qin Xufei looked up at the vast clouds: "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have a home to return to." Without me, this iron-clad army would have been the treasure of the Qin State! ”

Liu Heng smiled: "Your Highness, if there is no you." There is no such army at all. ”

Liu Heng was laughing, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching. This moment. There are so many unwillingness, clamoring to rush out of their throats!

Qin Xufei slowly lowered his head and was silent for a long, long time before he suddenly said, "Actually, it's not like you have no way to go back to Qin." ”

Liu Hengyi raised his eyebrows. There was a flash of anger in his eyes. The tone was surprisingly calm, and he asked knowingly, "What way?" ”

Qin Xufei said calmly: "If I die, he ...... Don't be afraid. With such a strong army, how could he be reluctant to do so. ”

Liu Heng said coldly: "Then it's better for us to throw the Chu State back to the Chu people, and fight back to the Qin State with the whole army!" We can even join forces with the Chu people......"

Qin Xufei's color changed: "Unless you step on my corpse!" ”

Liu Heng smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, you are a true hero, but, after so many years, you still don't understand the way of the king." ”

Qin Xufei was stunned for a while, and only after a while did he smile bitterly and admit his mistake: "It's me who is not good, if you say this, I will never say it again." ”

The two of them were opposite, and their faces were full of helplessness.

When they were young, Qin was weak and Chu was strong. Who has no relatives and the boy died on the battlefield of Qin Chu? In the hearts of children, the country of Chu is a hell cave, and the Chu people and Chu soldiers are all demons and monsters, because the children cry, the adults will threaten and say: "Cry again?" If you cry again, Chu Guobing will come over and eat you! ”

He entered the palace and became his companion. He followed the rules and trembled, but he jumped up at the family banquet and waved his little fist: "Father, when Xu Fei grows up, I will beat all the Chu people down!" Tong Yan Wuji caused a lot of laughter, only he looked up in surprise, looked at the prince of the same age as him, and admired it in his heart!

With one stroke, he wrote the 10,000-word article on the word "determination" given by Taifu. But he had already swept his pen and pulled down the four words "Inspire me Daqin", and in Taifu's angry and angry eyes, he jumped up, ran out, and practiced archery and horseback riding.

Sixteen-year-old Qin Xu Feili please join the army, three plays and three refutations! When the fourth time he wrote the book, the emperor angrily tore up the fold handed by his high-spirited and unreasonable son on the spot! The Chu army is too strong! It is the right thing to cut the land and sacrifice the city for peace, a prince, a prince who shouts all day long to defeat the state of Chu, to join the army?! He watched his face change color without blinking, lowered his head and picked up the shredded paper, glued it finely, and handed it over again. And he, with it, knelt behind him.

King Qin sighed and allowed them, and together with him, despite the contempt of the civil officials and the respectful and distant gaze of the generals, he insisted step by step, refusing to retreat!

For Qin Xufei, Liu Heng's admiration was also annoyed. Militarily, Qin Xufei is a genius, but politically, Qin Xufei is a real idiot, and he is also the kind of stupid person who does not look back.

No matter how numb and cold the people around him are, he can always say out loud the innocent vows he has made since childhood, and the enthusiasm in his eyes never changes. His charm is enough to gather the most outstanding generals, the most courageous soldiers, and he also knows how to use his status as a prince to urge the army to supervise the construction of swords and guns, but ......

Over the years, his prestige and achievements have made his own brothers so fearful and hateful, he doesn't know! He had been reminded many times, but he still didn't want to bother to defend and fight. Always thinking that if you are far away from the court and in the army, you can avoid those dirty things, which is really naΓ―ve and ridiculous.

Decade! Ten years of hardship, ten years of life and gathering, ten years of hard work! Decade! It took him ten years to finally make the morale of the army, which was extremely depressed, gradually high! From a hundred battles without victory to a few defeats and many victories, the land that was ceded and abandoned inch by inch, with blood, sweat and life, won back inch by inch!

During this period. But the king of Chu is old. He has many beautiful women in his harem. He has many princes under his knees. Those people are vying for power and profit, boiling against the sky, each holding each other in check, and there is endless internal strife, and they do not care about foreign enemies. Chu is getting weaker, Qin is getting stronger! As soon as the atmosphere of the Qin State changed, the Qin people exhaled and raised their eyebrows, and the entire people shouted to attack the Chu State! King Qin gave an order, and the Qin army sharpened the blade. Naturally, point to their own feud!

However, among the high-spirited Qin soldiers who attacked the Chu realm, there was no Qin Xu enclave. The strong army he built single-handedly is about to make a great deed for eternity. He was left behind.

Don't you know that you are suppressed by suspicion? I know, but he still tries his best to urge the grain and grass. Do your logistics.

At this moment, there was a big change in the palace of Chu State, the young emperor ascended the throne, and the young general named Fang Qingchen appeared in front of the world. Initially, Fang Qingchen was busy pacifying the political situation in the DPRK and China. The Qin army could barely advance. When Fang Qingchen stabilized the political situation and personally joined the army to direct the war, the Qin army immediately couldn't support it. In the blink of an eye, he was expelled from the country.

Fortunately, the old King of Chu's endless conquests in those decades have consumed the national strength of Chu to the extreme. The new emperor initially decided on the program and could only recuperate, so Fang Qingchen only ordered the heavy generals to guard the country to resist the enemy, and at the same time sought to negotiate with the Qin people to conclude a covenant of mutual non-interference, and did not dare to go deeper

However, behind the Qin army, there was the imperial court clamoring to open up the territory, and it was cheering to destroy the people of the Chu State.

Fang Qingchen was not worried about Chu Ruohong in the DPRK, he couldn't stay at the border for a long time, and the situation was always a little stable, so he had to return to the capital. However, as soon as he left, the Qin army would be ordered to launch a fierce attack on the border fortress. But Fang Qingchen's heavy soldiers who guarded the border pass were not easy to match, Qin and Chu clashed repeatedly, although each had its own victory and defeat, in the end the Qin army never entered the pass.

The Qin people were impatient. King Qin was impatient. Qin Xufei was finally ordered to go to the battlefield in person. He was so excited that he was ready to make a big move, and he reminded him of the way to protect himself, but he still went in and out of his left ear.

Taking advantage of Fang Qingchen's reinforcements not yet arrived, he broke through the border city again, but less than a day after entering the city, he was cleverly tricked by Fang Qingchen, who led the army in time to kill, and drove out of the city again.

On that day, under the city, Qin Fang and the two looked at each other twice and changed their positions.

Qin Xu flew here, and Fang Qingchen had to be forced to stay and take charge of the overall situation. If Fang Qingchen doesn't leave, Qin Xufei can't leave. A national border, just like this, two people were killed. Leaving the center of the imperial court, Fang Qingchen was jealous of the King of Chu, Qin Xu Fei was a hero, and where did he care about the thoughts of his own king thousands of miles away. is too far away from the imperial court, and Liu Heng's eyes and ears are also out of mind.

Originally, he thought that Fang Qingchen would be temporarily transferred back to the capital to give them enough time to attack, but who would have expected that in exchange for the fall apart of the Chu State and the chaos in the world. The Chu people didn't expect it, Qin Xufei didn't expect it, and Liu Heng didn't expect it either!

The fighter plane is fleeting, how dare they hesitate, as much as the elite soldiers and horses of the lineage, break through the border city in one go, like a bamboo! The victory came too quickly and smoothly, the entire army rushed into the Chu realm, and if one was not prepared, the gate of the Qin State had been closed behind them!

It's hard to look back! Receiving a message from his brother who had ascended to the throne, knowing that their army had been banished forever by his lord for the most high-sounding reason, he laughed loudly in front of people: "Heroic cause, he should have fought a world by himself, which rare to compete with him!" ”

This army is almost crazy, they want to kill, they want to slaughter the city, they want to turn around and fight back to the Qin State, and fight for justice for themselves! Scattered, not confused...... Don't look back! Keep moving forward! Break the city, take the pass, and take deep roots. How difficult is it for soldiers who have lost their goals and ideals to refrain from frantically destroying and plundering after fighting hard? In the eyes of all hostile confrontation, a little bit, how difficult is it to stabilize the forces?

He's still scrappy. In front of all the soldiers, his voice was still full of hope, and in front of all the generals, his laughter was still hearty.

Perhaps he was the only one who had seen his weakness, exhaustion and pain.

In order to protect the people of Chu, he withstood all the dissatisfaction and pressure in the army, and the Chu people reciprocated to him only hatred. He had to work ten times harder than the original Chudi officials to get a little recognition.

Finally, the people who fled to the south fled back to the north again. Because of the tragic situation of the people in the south under the control of their own army, people have finally begun to cherish the life that they can barely live in peace, although they are still poor.

Finally, under the strict requirements for military discipline and the policy of not disturbing the people's livelihood as much as possible, the people's fear and hatred of the Qin people were slowly eliminated.

Finally, after years of courtesy and enthusiasm, people of insight finally came forward one after another to contribute to the administration......

Jiangzhou and Liuzhou are in chaos! In order to reduce casualties, and in order not to cause unnecessary hostility and confrontation among the Chu people, Qin Xufei has always been kind to the generals, and after the surrender of Jiangzhou and Liuzhou, he still gave the original guards the exclusive authority to garrison. Who would have thought that the greed of those people, in the troubled times, would be so crazy that they forced the people in the territory to rise up, and in the end, he still had to clean up the mountains and rivers from scratch.

However, even so, even if there is still a long way to go, even if it takes great patience and persistence to fully master Chu Di, everyone has never doubted that Qin Xufei can do it. As long as there is another year or two, they can completely pacify Northern Chu, have enough supply support, move troops to several major forces in the south, and firmly gain a foothold in Chu. However, Fang Qingchen fell from the sky!

Helpless, helpless!

Southern Chu quickly condensed, they did not pacify Liuzhou, but they could not send troops to defeat it! If one is mishandled, they will become eggs sandwiched between two stones, and they will never recover.

But can they call back? Can you join forces with the Chu people and fight back to Qin?

The sigh in my heart is endless.

Over the years, how many people have expected him to lead the troops back. How many people are looking forward to following him, out of their hearts, and fighting for glory and glory in their own country!

It's a place where there are their loved ones.

But he couldn't.

His eldest brother is vicious, ruthless, cruel and cunning, but he has nothing wrong in the main political state. From the spies' flying reports and rumors from all directions, he saw the various governance measures of the new King of Qin, this person may not be a good brother or a good son, but he may not be able to be a good emperor.

Can he really wave his troops all the way back and make the hero who protects the country become a sinner who destroys the peace. Let Daqin, who had finally struggled out of the powerful coercion of the Chu State, fall into a lot of melee and civil strife like this Chu State?

Perhaps, this is also the reason why he deserves to be betrayed and abandoned by his own brother. In this world, there are too many things he knows, he understands, but he can't do it no matter what.

Not only did he not do it himself, but he also forced all those who loved him, cared for him, and respected him to follow him, endure hardships and hardships, but could not do their best to maintain their due power. Those soldiers, over the years, how not bitter. Many warriors in a hundred battles, missing their hometown relatives in the middle of the night, losing their voices and suffering, how many fearless soldiers, sad to the bone, had to borrow alcohol to get drunk.

In the end, he couldn't help but bow his head and sigh: "I'm sorry. ”

Seeing that his expression was so gloomy, Liu Heng suddenly chuckled: "Xu Fei, you don't have to worry about yourself." You really are all saints in the army, and you think that the way to get rid of you, you have never thought of it? ”

It was rare for him not to call His Highness, and he called his name directly, Qin Xufei was stunned when he heard it, and looked up at his friend's eyes that seemed to be smiling.
