Outside the Yan army camp, Zhou Tong was wearing a blue shirt, dressed as a peasant, wandering anxiously outside the camp, beside him, a young man about twenty years old, it was his son Zhou Xiong, Zhou Xiong had been in the army since he was a child, and often followed Han Guang's side, acting as a general, but now, Han Guang was unwilling to go to Liaodong, and went to war with the Yan army, the war was defeated again and again, and the Yan army came to the city and surrounded Jixian County, Zhou Tong, who had always served as the prime minister under Han Guang, knew that the Liaodong army was gone.

If he coexists and dies with Han Guang, Zhou Tong has nothing to worry about, but his son Zhou Xiong is only twenty years old, although he is also a famous general in the Liaodong Army, but he has not yet started a family, nor has he left any trace of blood to the Zhou family.

Therefore, Zhou Tong also talked to Zhou Xiong about this matter many times, but Zhou Xiong refused to abandon his father, left Liaodong, left Han Guang, for the sake of his son and wife, Zhou Tong had to make a bold decision, that is, to betray Han Guang and take refuge in Zang Di.

Moreover, it is the general trend for Zang Di to replace Han Guang, but there is one point that Zang Tu cannot ignore, that is, how to make Xiang Yu accept him to replace Han Guang, completely unify the entire Yan land, and establish the Yan Kingdom, after all, one family is dominant, and it has a very serious test for the situation in the world.

And just when Zhou Tong was wandering around the world and thinking about this, his son Zhou Xiong on the side gently pushed Zhou Tong, pointed forward, and said softly: "Father, Zang Yan is here." ”

Zhou Tong looked into the camp, only to see dozens of horsemen guarding Zang Yan in silver armor galloping, and soon, Zang Yan and his party came to the outside of the camp, before Zhou Tong stepped forward to salute, Zang Yan had dismounted and arched his hand: "Uncle Zhou, my father heard that you are coming, so let me come to greet you, and please follow me into the camp." ”

Zhou Tong hurriedly returned a salute, and gave another order to his son Zhou Xiong, asking him to guard the carriage at home, and everyone went to the camp together.

……

At this time, outside the gate of the Chinese military camp, a team of more than 2,000 people lined up to wait, when Zang Yan and Zhou Tong and his party were about to arrive in front of the camp gate, suddenly, the camp sounded rumbling war drums and horns, and then, two thousand Yan soldiers who were waiting in array shouted: "The soldier dies for his confidant, welcome Lord Zhou......"

"Those who are confidants die ......"

Zang Yan explained with a smile: "This is our unique way of greeting VIPs. ”

Zhou Tong swept around the lineup of the sweeping Yan army, everyone was mighty, their eyes were blazing, Zhou Tong couldn't help but nodded: "Such an army is not comparable to the Liaodong Army." ”

After a burst of laughter, Zhou Tong and Zang Yan continued to go to the camp of the Chinese army, at this time, Zhou Xiong also hurried over, followed by everyone, everyone soon came to the big tent of the Chinese army, only to see the banner of Xu, Zang Di was looking at himself with a smile, Zhou Tong hurriedly walked a few steps, came to Zang Di, and arched his hand: "Meet King Yan." ”

Zhou Tong was about to kneel on one knee, but was stopped by Zang Di, who patted Zhou Tong's shoulder with both hands and laughed: "This king has been looking forward to you for a long time, quickly, follow this king into the account." ”

Zang Yan and Zhou Xiong also walked to the tent together, the big tent was very dark, a guard walked around the tent, rolled up the curtains, the sun shone in, and suddenly brightened up a lot, at this time, everyone sat down, several guards sent tea, and put a cup in front of each person, at this time, Zang Di laughed and said: "The father and son of the Zhou family, one article and one martial arts, my Dayan country is blessed, hahaha." ”

"King Yan has won the prize." Zhou Tong smiled back and arched his hand, at this time, Zang Di's smiling face disappeared, his expression was solemn, as if he was probing Zhou Tong, he completely lost the trust just now, and only hated and said: "Han Guang, take my capital, this hatred and hatred are not shared, I have given him enough face, if he is willing to stop within five days, I should let him return to the east, but if he doesn't know how to lift, hum ......"

Zang Di didn't say down, Zhou Tong knew that the two countries were at war, and Zang Di hadn't fully trusted himself, so he arched his hand and said: "Han Guang, this person, thinks that he created Dayan, there is no one in his eyes, this person is not to be afraid, it is Xiang Yu, and King Yan should plan as soon as possible." ”

"I crusade against Han Guang, what do I have to do with Xiang Yu?" Zang Tu was puzzled, he didn't know why Zhou Tong suddenly shifted the topic to Xiang Yu.

But Zhou Tong was not in a hurry to answer, he pondered for a while, and then replied: "Attacking Jixian County and killing Han Guang can be solved in just over a month, but once the King of Yan swallows the entire Yan Kingdom, when his strength skyrockets, it will directly threaten the control of the Chu State over the world, and at that time, how can Xiang Yu tolerate the King of Yan?" ”

"This ......" Zang Di came back a little, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, Zhou Tong arched his hand and continued: "Besides, the situation in the world, Xiang Yu was afraid of Liu Bang, and he was also worried that Liu Bang would make a comeback, but once King Yan first raised the flag and fought in all directions, at that time, Xiang Yu's eyes would be attracted to the north by King Yan, which instead contributed to the opportunity for Liu Bang to crusade against Guanzhong. ”

"I ...... I'm afraid it's not the same as the Chu State. Zang Di sighed lightly.

"Since King Yan knows that he is invincible to the State of Chu, why not immediately retire the book, send a person who can speak well, rush to Pengcheng, tell Xiang Yu the cause and effect, and inform that our army is crusading against Han Guang and besieging Jixian, which is really to recover the capital, if Xiang Yu does not send a book to stop King Yan, King Yan can lead the army all the way east to recover Liaodong, if Xiang Yu is angry, let King Yan stop, King Yan can garrison Jixian County, wait for the opportunity, how?"

"Lord Zhou is really clever, I will take a leave of absence."

Zhou Tong nodded with a smile, and said: "Han Guang will definitely not surrender to King Yan, King Yan can order people to attack the city on all sides, leaving the west gate for him to escape, surrounded by mountains in the west, as long as Han Guang escapes, he can be captured alive, and Yan can be safe." ”

……

Haiyan County, Huiji County, which is also the Haiyan County of later generations, is a medium-sized county town in the south of Shanghai, backed by the East China Sea, and is also an important place for boiling salt in the Eastern Chu Kingdom.

In the north of Haiyan County more than 50 miles, there is a very grand harbor, the harbor is in recent months Xiang Zhuang began to build, its main purpose, is to trade with Qi and the north of the Liaodong line, and Xiang Zhuang is also silently planning to build a larger sea ship, can cross the ocean, open up islands, open up more roads, has its own strength to build a larger Chu State.

At this time, Emperor Yi, Xiang Zhuang and others were cruising in the harbor, in history, Emperor Yi did not pose much of a threat, he had lost control of the Chu State, therefore, Xiang Zhuang did not guard too much against the heart, many things, Xiang Zhuang will also let the heart see, this is the capital of the self-defense of the East Chu State.

The shipyard is run by an old shipwright, he is forty-five this year, in ancient times, is already an advanced age, and he has the most advanced shipbuilding technology in Jiangdong, can build a lot of large ships, at the beginning, the river port in Yugan County was operated and built by him.

At this time, the river port had basically formed a scale, and transported timber from all over the country, ready to build the first big ship, and on the open plank, Xiang Zhuang and other people walked slowly, from here condescendingly, you can see the busy crowd in the distance, the conscripts shouting slogans, pulling ropes, transporting wood and stone.

"Isn't this shipyard too far off from being built here?" Qian Xin finally couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, he looked at Xiang Zhuang, and continued to ask: "Xiang Aiqing, I doubt it, why don't you use the Jiangcheng River Port to renovate, and dredge a sea route to the north from there, besides, it is much closer to the seaport in Haiyan from there." ”

"Hehe, Your Majesty, you may have overlooked one point, other days, the battle for the Central Plains is inevitable, and countries will rebel one after another, and at this time, the chaos in Hebei has proved that the people's hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant, if Your Majesty hopes that our Xiang family will defend the Chu country for you, this seaport will be the foundation of our victory." Xiang Zhuang did not shy away from it, he was slightly surprised, he didn't get the information, and he didn't know that Zang Di had already launched an attack on the Liaodong Army in Hebei, at this time he looked at Xiang Zhuang blankly, and said in surprise: "Why did Xiang Aiqing say this?" ”

Xiang Zhuang turned to look at Hua Yu and ordered, "Report what you know to Your Majesty." ”

Hua Yu sang a promise, stepped forward, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, according to the information obtained from the humble position, Han Guang was dissatisfied with the migration of Liaodong, and the troops stuck to Jixian County, resisting Zang Di, who had been named the King of Yan. ”

After speaking, Hua Yu stepped back, looking at Hua Yu in disbelief, the world has just been peaceful, and the tyrannical Qin has finally been overthrown, is it possible that the countries are about to enter the melee so soon?

Although he knew that the chaos of various countries was inevitable, he still couldn't accept this reality, he looked into the distance in amazement, looking at the toiling servants, although his eyes did not leave there, but his heart has flown to the clouds, to feel the war in Hebei, the chaos of the Yan country, will inevitably lead to competition between other countries, the competition is becoming more and more fierce, it will inevitably affect the state of Chu, it seems that Xiang Zhuang took precautions and handed over Dongchu to him, maybe right.

But another doubt arose, and he looked at Xiang Zhuang and said in surprise: "From Hebei to Jiangdong, how do you exchange news?" ”

"It's the Flying Slave delivering the message." Xiang Zhuang laughed.

"Flying slaves?" Hua Yu took the carrier pigeon from a soldier and handed it to Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Zhuang held the carrier pigeon in his right hand, and said with a smile: "As early as a long time ago, someone would have sent the pigeon to deliver the news, but it was rarely taken seriously, and I, from a disciple of the Mo family, got this skill of domesticating flying slaves, which was widely used in the army, and pulled the intelligence agency to Hebei, so I can get the war in Hebei after a certain period of time." ”

At this time, Karma Xin woke up like a dream, and after nodding slightly, Karma Xin said: "But even if there is this harbor, starting from here and marching north, I'm afraid it won't take a few days to arrive, I think this harbor is useless after all." ”

"The real intention of this seaport is not all to face the north, I will use it to deal with Dongyue, I am very worried that once the situation in the world changes, Dongyue will be ready to move, and they are the biggest threat to Dongchu." Xiang Zhuang sighed lightly, he looked at the south with deep eyes, maybe one day, when the war has not been completely ignited, he must wave his troops to the south and solve the problem of East Vietnam, which is the way to seek stability in Jiangdong.

……

The first watch, there are two more.
