The dust is heavy, the mighty is mighty, the army of tens of thousands of people marches slowly, the chariot cooperates with the cavalry, marching in the front, and in the back, more than 100 people hold high the battle flag, crossbowmen, archers, Ge soldiers, halberd soldiers, and spearmen are arranged in turn, forming the most powerful army formation in Qin, step by step, marching very carefully.

But soon, after tens of thousands of troops passed, the main force of the Qin army arrived, headed by a general, wearing silver tiger head armor, a black long sword on the waist, and a long lance hanging on the horse hook, very powerful, beside him, there were hundreds of guards, behind him, the team stretched endlessly, and the tail could not be seen at a glance.

This is Xiang Zhuang came to this era, the first time to see such a formation of the army, Xiang Zhuang preliminary calculations, this team is not less than 150,000, such a huge army, so that Xiang Zhuang heart with a trace of inexplicable impulse, galloping the field, famous all over the world, Xiang Zhuang heart envy.

On the side, Liu Bang sighed and said with a wry smile: "When a man is alive, he must establish immortal achievements, instead of working hard for others for a lifetime, it is better to stand out from the crowd and let others work for him, this is the courage and goal that a manly man should have." ”

After speaking, Liu Bang sighed lightly again, waved his hand, and prepared to take a detour to Liyang from elsewhere, but on the side, Xiang Zhuang saw the heroic spirit in him, and that kind of temperament reminded Xiang Zhuang of the future dispute between Chu and Han......

。。。。。。

Liyang, north of Xianyang, is the capital of Qin Xiangong and Qin Xiaogong in the early Warring States period, since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, began to build Xianyang, since then, Xianyang has become the political center of Qin, the capital of Qin.

At this time, Xiang Zhuang led the horse, and Xiang Sheng slowly walked into the country road, and then half an hour, you can get to Liyang, but at this time Xiang Zhuang, there is a layer of worry in his heart, the army just passed, is the north to fight // the Mengtian army in the north of the desert, they have driven the Xiongnu to the north of the Yellow River, completely eradicated the threat of the north of Qin, in a short time, the Xiongnu have been unable to go south to peep at the border.

But in the same way, the first emperor was not satisfied with the status quo, he began to think about how to be able to maintain peace for a long time, how to permanently occupy Mobei, so, after Meng Tian reported the victory, he ordered the establishment of two counties south of the Yellow River, and had controlled the vast grasslands of Mobei, one was Shuofang County and the other was Jiuyuan County.

And Xiang Zhuang is depressed in his heart, that is, if the Qin State wants to build a county in Mobei, it will inevitably mobilize conscripts and prisoners from Guanzhong, so that his uncle Xiang Liang will be very dangerous, if he only builds the imperial mausoleum in Lishan, he will only suffer for a while, and he will not die, but Shuo Fang, Jiuyuan is far away in Mobei, if he is relocated there, nine out of ten people will die on the road due to water and soil disadaptation, this is what Xiang Zhuang is really worried about, but fortunately, Xiang Zhuang has the token of Fusu at this time, and Cao Wujiao's letter of introduction, rescuing his uncle, it should not be a problem.

Thinking like this, Xiang Zhuang stroked the horse's mane, this is a snow-white bulgeon, one of the best rhinos in Ziying's mansion, how can he repay Ziying and Fusu for their help? This love, Xiang Zhuang must be returned, thinking of this, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but look back, not far away, Liu Bang and the two accompanying servants were discussing something, this famous hero in history Liu Bang, destined to be his enemy, after the first battle of Dingtao, completely towards the glory of his life, and himself, where to go?

。。。。。。

Liyang, the capital of the Qin State during the Warring States Period, is prosperous in the streets, the crowd is surging, and twenty personal soldiers are a team to patrol the streets to ensure the safety of Liyang City.

It is also a concentration camp for prisoners of the Qin State, prisoners from all over the country will be sent to Liyang, and then sent to the labor site by Liyang, during the Warring States Period, the prisoners of the Qin State were mainly transported to the land of Bashu, where it is also known as the capital of Xudu, symbolizing death, and now the Qin State is unified, the prisoners' settlements are mainly concentrated in the expansion of the imperial palace, the construction of the imperial mausoleum in Lishan, the construction of straight roads in various places, and now, the construction of counties in Mobei, these will invisibly increase the demand for forced labor and prisoners in the Qin State, so that the Qin State must raise manpower on a large scale to a certain extent, Fill in the gaps.

At this time, Liu Bang had escorted the prisoners to the county government to hand over, and Xiang Zhuang also found the Liyang prison after many inquiries, and handed Cao Wuyi's letter and Fusu's token to the official officer, hoping to see Sima Xin.

Xiang Sheng wandered anxiously beside him, and soon, he sighed lightly and asked, "Xiang Zhuang, why haven't you replied for so long?" ”

Xiang Zhuang was also a little breathless at this time, he looked up and saw that it was almost noon, was Sima Xin not in the mansion at this time, or did he not buy Cao Wuyi's account at all? But at the very least, he should recognize Fusu's token, thinking so, Xiang Zhuang continued to wander in front of the yamen.

From time to time, there were officials escorting prisoners in and out, and from time to time there were carriages flowing in front of the door, and finally, after half a pillar of incense, an officer in leather armor walked out quickly, behind him, two officials followed closely, and the three of them passed through the three big iron gates, came to Xiang Zhuang, and said with a smile: "You are Xiang Zhuang, right?" My family, Lord Sima, please come in. ”

Finally, when the news came back, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but be overjoyed, and smiled back: "Thank you, please lead the way." ”

Xiang Zhuang and Xiang Sheng handed over the horse to the two officials, followed by the officer to the palace inside, Liyang Prison is a small fort, into the palace, is a long corridor, on both sides of the corridor, is a high courtyard wall, and outside the courtyard wall, every ten steps, there is a guard tower, after passing through the corridor, is a straight compound, here, is the school field of Liyang Prison, on the left, the tall courtyard wall and wooden gate, more than 500 troops are stationed outside, here is the Liyang Prison prisoners, and on the right, the environment is relatively beautiful, high door, There are a few officials standing outside, and here is the office of Liyang Prison.

The officer took Xiang Zhuang and Xiang Sheng to the courtyard on the right, but it was not far away, and he could hear the mournful screams of the prisoners from the gate on the left, and the screams echoed in the courtyard, and it was difficult to dissipate for a long time, until Xiang Zhuang and the others walked away, and the mournful screams disappeared faintly.

After walking for a while, he finally came to the side courtyard, and the officer pointed to a large mansion in front of him and said with a smile: "The person you want to see is inside." ”

The officer arched his hand, turned around and left, the courtyard was very quiet, Xiang Zhuang looked around, this is not like the usual office of the official, I don't know, what trick Sima Xin is playing, but he has already come, so he can't give up easily, so he has to walk quickly and move forward with Xiang Sheng.

The two soldiers guarding the door pushed open the door, the light in the house was bright, Xiang Zhuang and Xiang Sheng walked into the house, and there was a faint sound of several people talking and laughing, but with Xiang Zhuang and the two entering, the laughter stopped abruptly, Xiang Zhuang walked through the corridor, turned a small door, and suddenly, his footsteps stopped......

In the room, Ying Ziying, Sima Xin and Xiang Liang sat opposite each other, staring at themselves at this time.

。。。。。。

Xiang Zhuang was stunned in place, he couldn't understand what was happening in front of him, Ziying had never heard from him in the past few days, and he had not contacted him about his uncle's affairs, but at this time, he appeared in Liyang, and his uncle had already come out, and he was chatting with Ziying and Sima Xin, which made Xiang Zhuang unable to believe his eyes.

But the uncle was able to be safe, the worry in Xiang Zhuang's heart had come to naught, and at this time he felt that the pressure in his heart suddenly dissipated, he couldn't help but walk into the house quickly, and together with Xiang Sheng, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "Xiang Zhuang to the emperor's uncle, Lord Sima to see the gift." ”

Ziying smiled and nodded, Xiang Zhuang turned around and knelt in front of Xiang Liang again, his eyes were slightly red, and his voice was slightly hoarse, but he tried his best to control himself and not let the tears fall, and said excitedly: "Uncle has suffered these days, my nephew is incompetent, I can't share my uncle's worries, please punish my uncle." ”

Xiang Liang has indeed suffered a lot these days, but these hardships, Xiang Liang felt that he had not suffered in vain, at least, the determination in his heart to recover had increased, and he gradually realized that he had not transferred in time, and it was an irrational decision to be arrested due to the attachment of the Xiang family's property. ”

Xiang Liang personally helped Xiang Zhuang up, Xiang Sheng got up with it, and cried at this time: "Liang Gong, you scared us to death this time." ”

Xiang Liang nodded with satisfaction and patted Xiang Zhuang on the shoulder to show encouragement, but at this time, Ziying on the side smiled and said: "These days, Mobei is preparing to build a county, and Lord Sima is entangled in official business, so I can't travel far, so I have to go in person, I wanted to go back to Xianyang with Uncle Ling today, but I don't want to, but you came." ”

Seeing Ziying talking about this, Xiang Zhuang smiled back and said: "Thank you Uncle Huang for remembering this matter, Xiang Zhuang is grateful in his heart." ”

Xiang Zhuang knelt in front of Ziying again, gave a deep salute, Ziying hurriedly got up, held up Xiang Zhuang, and comforted: "Uncle Ling's case has been eliminated, from now on, you don't have to worry that the government will come to arrest people, you can live with peace of mind in the future." ”

As soon as Ziying's words fell, a servant walked in quickly, came to everyone, clasped his hands into fists, and announced: "The banquet has been prepared, please take your seats." ”

Seeing that the banquet had been prepared, Sima Xin got up and said with a smile: "I have prepared a thin wine, you might as well have a drink." ”

"Then it's going to bother Lord Sima." Ziying said politely, pulled Xiang Liang, and walked towards the side hall.

。。。。。。

At the banquet, one dish after another was served, everyone sat down, Xiang Zhuang did not sit down, but stood behind Xiang Liang, and Xiang Sheng left and right, at this time, the wine and food were almost over, Xiang Liang raised his glass and said with a smile: "Thank you Uncle Huang, Lord Sima rescued me, I borrowed a glass of wine from Lord Sima today, and toasted everyone." ”

"Brother Xiang Liang is too polite." Ziying said with a smile, and raised a glass, drank it all, both of them laughed with a cup, and the atmosphere was more friendly, at this time, Ziying said with a smile: "Actually, I can come to Liyang, it is all Xiang Zhuang's efforts, Brother Xiang Liang does not have to be so concerned." ”

Xiang Liang nodded, and Ziying said: "Brother Xiang Liang's talent, it is not difficult to find a position in the imperial court, if Brother Xiang Liang does not give up, I am willing to recommend Brother Xiang Liang to join the office, I don't know what Brother Xiang Liang wants?" ”

Ziying wanted to keep Xiang Liang, which was expected by Xiang Liang, but Xiang Liang had hated the Qin people to the core, this time Ziying and Sima Xin rescued him, he was grateful in his heart, and he didn't want to make his words clear, otherwise, it would be revenge, so he smiled and refused: "People from the mountains and wilderness, a glass of thin wine, a plate of green vegetables, this life is enough, and please forgive Uncle Huang." ”

Xiang Liang refused to go out, Ziying felt sorry in his heart, but everyone has their own ambitions, and Ziying didn't force it, so he had to raise his glass and smile: "Since Brother Xiang Liang has no intention of going out, I don't force it, let's have another drink." ”

Xiang Liang raised his glass and drank it all, at this time, Xiang Zhuang suddenly came to Xiang Liang, knelt down and said: "Uncle go up again, my nephew has something to say." ”

"Hehe, Zhuang'er might as well say it directly." Xiang Liang said with a smile, Xiang Zhuang nodded, pondered for a while, and said loudly: "Uncle Huang and Gongzi Fusu are kind to their nephew, and the nephew is going to live in Xianyang for a while to help Gongzi guard the Zhaoxian Pavilion, and after the Zhaoxian Pavilion is stable, the nephew is returning to his hometown and begging his uncle for permission." ”

After Xiang Liang heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "Zhi'en Tubao, this is the consistent style of our Xiang family, Zhuang'er, you are the master of this matter." ”

Xiang Zhuang was overjoyed and thanked him, and at this time, a servant walked in quickly and said: "Uncle Huang, Lord Sima, there is a person outside who claims to be Liu Bang, the head of the Surabaya Pavilion, and wants to see Xiang Zhuang, but we can't stop him, and we have taken him to the front office to wait." ”

Ziying couldn't help but be surprised: "Liu Bang, who is he?" ”

"Liu Bang is a friend of mine, Uncle Huang, Lord Sima, uncle, the three of you drink slowly, I'll go out." Xiang Zhuang gave up his hand and went outside.
