In the history of the Qin State, after the construction of Dujiangyan in Shu and the construction of the Zhengguo Canal in Guanzhong, the fertile fields were thousands of miles, and the cultivated land that was reclaimed did not know how much.

Guanzhong and Shu also became the rear granaries of the Qin people, continuously transporting grain and grass for the Qin army and ensuring the logistics supply of the Qin army.

As the so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, grain and grass go first.

The importance of food is self-evident.

Qingji wanted to annex Bashu, not because of the salt, copper, and silk weaving benefits of the two countries, but because he really wanted to take this fertile land for himself.

To sum it up in four words, the land of Bashu -

Land flowing with milk and honey!

After annexing the two countries of Bashu, Wu could attack Qin from three directions.

One is the land of Hexi (Hangu Pass), one is Wuguan, and the other is Longyou.

Not to mention the land west of the river, it was directly excluded by Qingji's heart.

The Qin people are a hard bone to gnaw, Qingji knows this, why bother to fight with the Qin State?

In case under the Hangu Pass, kowtowing and bleeding will be extremely bad for Wu Guo.

Therefore, Qingji would choose to attack Qin from Wuguan and Longyou.

The first thing to bear the brunt of is naturally to take the land of Bashu into the bag.

……

Two days later, Qingji summoned Ba Jun in Fangcheng Mountain and held a banquet to entertain him.

In addition to Ba Jun, the monarchs of the three kingdoms of Xiyu, Pingzhou, and Chong came uninvited, hoping to be attached to the powerful state of Wu and become vassals of the state of Wu.

In other words, the western part of Hanzhong County of Wu State is certainly called the "Land of Bashu".

However, there are more than just two countries of Ba and Shu.

Forced by the strength of Shu, in the past few decades, the four countries of Ba, Xiyu, Pingzhou, and Chong have all formed alliances to resist Qiang Shu.

Therefore, this time, Ba Jun was invited to Yongxian County to worship and celebrate the taboo, and the other three countries were all uninvited......

In order to show their submission, the four kingdoms of Ba, Xiyu, Pingzhou, and Chong all presented various treasures and local specialties to Wu.

Silk, tea, ivory, jade, salt, copper and iron are too numerous to count, and there are about three hundred carts.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Qing Ji, who sat on the main seat of the Sifang Stage, looked around and issued the order for a military parade.

The purpose of Qingji is naturally to show off his military might, so as to deter Ba, Xiyu, Pingzhou, and Chong Siguo.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Accompanied by the dull and murderous sound of war drums, a full 3,000 soldiers dressed in stubbornness formed a huge phalanx and stood there in an orderly manner.

They didn't move at all, like one vigorous tree after another, their faces were expressionless, and what was reflected in their eyes was a cold evil aura.

There is no doubt that this is an elite army that has been killed from the sea of corpses and blood, and has survived a hundred battles.

From afar, everyone could feel the evil aura emanating from the inside out of this army.

The flag covers the sun, and the spear is like a forest.

This time, the military parade was presided over by Gongzi Fan, so after getting Qingji's instructions, Gongzi Fan took a military car and came to the front of the phalanx, and then with a "bang", he drew his sword out of the sheath.

"Crossbowman, out of line—"

With a long roar from Gongzi Fan, a whole thousand crossbowmen came to the front of the phalanx, stretched their bows and arrows, and aimed at the thousands of scarecrows on the opposite side.

"Prepare...... Let's go!"

After the order was given, a dense array of crossbow arrows spread across half of the dome and flew towards the scarecrow.

"Snatch it!"

A dense rain of arrows, extremely powerful and with an extremely wide range of damage.

Only a rain of arrows fell, and the scarecrow, which had been standing upright, became dilapidated.

If this is flesh and blood, it must have been shot into a hornet's nest, and the flesh and blood are blurred.

Seeing this terrifying scene, the monarchs of Ba, Xiyu, Pingzhou, and Chong on the Quartet couldn't help but gasp and feel shocked

。

However, the exercises of the Wu army have not yet ended.

After a few rounds of arrow rain attacks, Gongzi Fan waved his sword and pointed at the scarecrow phalanx opposite, and shouted, "Samurai! Strike!"

"Shieldmen, cover! Step by step!"

By Gongzifan's side, there are special heralds, waving flags and giving orders for him.

Therefore, with Gongzi Fan's order, the shield bearers who had long been ready to attack began to advance layer by layer, like the ups and downs of the mountains, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

"Wind! Gale! Wind! Gale!"

In the huge phalanx of the Wu army, all the soldiers shouted in unison.

The samurai who was advancing was holding a sword in one hand and a round shield in the other, and every three steps, he struck the round shield with his sword, and then shouted "kill" with a solemn look on his face!

This shocking scene is undoubtedly full of oppression for the monarchs of the four kingdoms of Ba, Xiyu, Pingzhou, and Chong.

Sure enough, the samurai attacked, and the shield hand took cover, and all the scarecrows were cut down to the ground, and they were "slaughtered" on one side......

Although, this is just a drill, and the scarecrow is not a living enemy.

However, just by the arrangement of the Wu army, and the evil spirit displayed, it is enough to prove how strong the combat effectiveness of this army is!

After the acting, Qing Ji looked at Ba Jun, who had been dumbfounded and had not come back to his senses for a long time, with a smile, and said, "Ba Jun, I don't know which of the army of Ruba Country is stronger or weaker than my Wu army?"

"Naturally, your army is stronger."

Ba Jun said with a wry smile.

In a frontal battle, it is naturally the Wu army that is stronger.

However, the land of Bashu is full of mountains, rivers and hills, and the soldiers of Bashu are more accustomed to mountain warfare.

There, I'm afraid, it's not Wu Jun's home field.

However, this is just Ba Jun's personal thoughts.

In fact, the Wu army was also good at fighting in the mountains.

Not to mention anything else, in the conquest of southwest and Lingnan in those years, the Wu army did not know how many hard battles it had fought and how much bloodshed and sacrifice it paid, which opened up the nine southern counties for Wu State.

When it comes to the complexity of the terrain, the southwest and Lingnan are almost the same as the land of Bashu.

No, it should be said that the terrain in the south of Wu is more complex than that of Bashu.

Because the land of Bashu still has plains, a flat area.

The three southwestern counties and the six counties of Lingnan in Wu are full of miasma, all over the mountains, rivers and hills......

Such a harsh natural environment has been conquered by the Wu army, let alone the land of Bashu?

"Ba Jun, come, the widow respects you."

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Looking at Qingji, who had already raised the wine jue and was smiling, Ba Jun panicked for no reason, and immediately raised the wine jue in his hand, nodded and drank the wine down.

"Ba Jun, the widow has heard that the country of Ruba is also surnamed Ji?"

"Exactly."

Ba Jun replied, "King Wu, I can't hide it, the ancestor of the widow is for Tai Yu and Hou Zhao."
