Li Mu moved his arms and shoulders, got up and walked out of the boat.

He stepped onto the corpse-strewn walls of Hubei and watched the fires raging in the city.

Some wealthy families left with the Chu soldiers, and before leaving, they set fire to the city and caused riots.

It just so happened that the reward for the Qin soldiers to break the city had fallen.

Soldiers are like grates. Li Mu grew up in the army since he was a child, so he naturally knew that after the soldiers were broken into the city, they would definitely plunder money on a large scale.

If the rewards are not enough, the law alone will not only not stop them, but will also affect their morale.

However, he did not leave after the city was broken, but immediately after the city was broken, Hubei was included in the land of Qin, and its productivity was quickly restored, and the people were appeased to produce with peace of mind. Therefore, the Qin soldiers must not be plundered.

In order to satisfy the generals and soldiers, he set his sights on the wealthy families in the city.

The wealthy families in the city must have been inextricably linked with the nobles of the Chu State. And in terms of numbers, they did not cultivate themselves and could not provide grain and grass for the Qin state. So even if you destroy them, it won't have much impact on the city.

Of course, all the property of the rich families who escaped was confiscated, and the remaining rich families should have paid a large sum of money for their lives.

Li Mu had been thinking about how to raise the troops and pacify the people, and did not think about whether the Chu people would counterattack.

By the time the guards and county guards fled, the strategic goal in his mind had been achieved.

When he was resting in Xianyang, he was not simply idle. Bai Qi and Fan Ju, two elders who were originally enemies, benefited him a lot.

Li Mu's mind no longer only thinks about the military situation, but rises to the temple level. That's why he will first resort to the divisive plan this time, and then lead the troops to set off.

The escape of the county guards and guards confirmed his suspicion that the contradictions between the monarchs and feudal monarchs of the Chu State were more acute, and they did not dare to fight the Qin State with all their might, for fear that they would be swallowed by the other party after their power weakened.

Therefore, as long as you see that you are good, you will accept it, do not go deep into their hinterland, and adopt a gradual encroachment method, and the monarch and feudal monarch of Chu will not unite and twist into a force to unite with the outside world.

Although Hubei is a strategic place, when the Chu State moved the capital to the Chen capital, the core hinterland of the Chu State moved from the Yangtze River to Huaishui, so it was more difficult for the Chu State to send troops to the Hubei Province.

And the Qin State occupies the confluence of the Han River and the Yangtze River, and the two logistics forces transport the waterway and call it a line, as long as he holds it for a maximum of ten days, the King of Qin will definitely send troops from the Han River to support.

After that, Zhu Xiang led people to settle the fields here to raise the people, and this area would soon become a new grain producing area for the Qin State.

Therefore, Li Mu no longer cares what the people of Chu will do. King Qin will not give them a chance.

"Send someone to congratulate you." Li Mu stood on the city wall, his hand fanned outside his mouth and nose, and the smell of blood and burnt flesh between his nose was scattered, "Mu has won Hubei, and in the future, the land of Chu will be galloped by the army of Qin." ”

"Yui!"

……

As soon as the old Qin king finished his hectic streak, he sent away the Qin soldiers who went to attack the Zhou royal family.

Prince Zhu has learned the abacus, and is crackling and calculating, reviewing the logistics needed to lead the troops for his old father.

Someone came to report, and General Li Mu had an urgent report.

Prince Zhu immediately raised his head: "Could it be that Zhu Xiang is doing something stupid again?" ”

Lao Qin Wang said: "If Zhu Xiang does something stupid, he will write a document and report it himself, so don't worry too much." Could it be that Li Mu lost the war, and he asked the widow for support? Call him in! ”

The herald knelt down, and the joy on his face made the old Qin King and the crown prince feel relieved.

Looking at his expression, Li Mu should have achieved results. I don't know which city he fell, whether he really occupied Yun Mengze.

"Your Majesty!" The herald knelt down and said, "The general has occupied Eyi, the place where the Han River and the river meet!" The general congratulated the king, and then the door of the state of Chu was wide open, and the Qin army galloped! ”

Jiangshui is another name for the Yangtze River at this time.

The herald kowtowed, waiting to hear the applause of the King of Qin.

But he waited for a long time, but he didn't hear King Qin's voice.

The herald was stunned, and the old King Qin actually stammered a little: "Where? Where did he take it? ”

The herald said: "Eyi." ”

The old Qin king said: "Where is Eyi?" ”

The herald was puzzled: "Eyi...... Eyi is Eyi. ”

Prince Zhu smoothed his chest, and finally gasped for breath.

He couldn't believe it: "Eyi? Do you mean that Li Mu took possession of the former companions of the Chu State so quickly? ”

The herald said, "Yes! It took the general less than half a day to occupy Eyi! Now the city wall has been repaired to prevent the Chu State from attacking the city! ”

Old King Qin sat dumbfounded for a while and said, "Li Mu...... Does General Lee have a paperwork? ”

The herald then handed over the paperwork.

The old King of Qin unfolded the paperwork. Li Mu wrote in detail the time of his strategy in the document, which day and hour it was accurate.

Therefore, the old Qin king saw that Li Mu's fleet flew from the rushing Yangtze River to Hubei with a swish, and then took Hubei within half a day and captured tens of thousands of Chu soldiers.

Now these Chu soldiers are repairing the city walls and repairing the houses.

The old King Qin flipped through the documents and read them a few times, rubbed his eyes, and handed the documents to the crown prince.

Prince Zhu flipped through the paperwork a few times, and stammered: "This, why is this ship so fast?" ”

The herald said, "We have set sails on the ship. ”

Prince Zhu: "What is that sail?" ”

The herald described the sail to the King of Qin and the Crown Prince Zhu.

King Qin and Prince Zhu asked about the new type of boat master built by Li Mu again, and then stroked their chests and were out of breath for a while.

How can this boat master be so powerful? Black powder can already be used on the battlefield? A small country around Yunmengze turned out to be deceived by Zhu Xiangjiao's tricks?

This Li Mu, this Li Mu......

"Hahaha, Wu Anjun, Wu Anjun, no wonder Zhu Xiang said that he is Wu Anjun, he is indeed another Wu Anjun of the widow!" The old King of Qin slapped the table and laughed, and finally accepted this happy event, "Okay, good, after that, the widow can directly camp troops and grain at the confluence of the river and the Han River, and eat the Chu State!" The state of Chu has been fully pocketed by the state of Qin! ”

Prince Zhu got up, smiled and congratulated the old King Qin: "Congratulations to the monarch." ”

"Congratulations, hahaha." The old King of Qin said with a smile, "Pass on the widow's order, Meng Wu led 100,000 troops to support." When they arrived in Eyi, the 100,000 troops were led by Li Mu. After the war in the south, General Li Mu watched and handled it himself. ”

Prince Zhu said: "Let Meng Wu stay there?" ”

King Qin said: "Yes, let him stay there and take care of Zhu Xiang." Zhu Xiang is afraid that he will come back late. When the widow recalled Zhu Xiang, he came back with Zhu Xiang. ”

Prince Zhu sighed: "I'm really worried about Zhu Xiang." ”

Old King Qin smiled: "Seeing that Li Mu is so powerful, you should rest assured, he can protect Zhu Xiang." The henchmen of the Chu State are in great trouble, in addition to Dawu Anjun, there is another little Wu Anjun. ”

The old King of Qin did not intend to be the king of Li Mu immediately.

The feudal monarch of the Qin State is very strict, and the generals who have made many more contributions to the Qin State than Li Mu have not been crowned monarchs, and Li Mu obviously cannot be crowned monarchs with this one merit alone.

However, the ability that Li Mu is showing now has made the old King Qin have already booked a feudal monarch for him in his heart.

The feudal monarch of Bai Qi will not be inherited by his descendants. When Bai Qi died, King Qin would make Li Mu the next "Wu Anjun".

It's just that the person who gave Li Mu the title of king may not be the old King of Qin.

It is the crown prince, it is the prince Chu, or the prince Zheng.

But as long as Li Mu doesn't die early, he should be sure of this "Wu Anjun".

There are many outstanding generals in the Qin State, but if Li Mu shows his extraordinary ability and makes people see his brilliant future at a glance, it is estimated that there is really only Bai Qi, the "Wu Anjun".

That's talent.

The old King of Qin asked the herald to temporarily retire and rest, and then went back with Meng Wu.

Only then did the old King of Qin stand up, and after turning around a few times, he clenched his fist and waved, and laughed heartily: "Zhu Xiang's vision of knowing people is really strong. The widow will never doubt the talent he recommended in the future! ”

Taking advantage of his old father's good mood, Prince Zhu half-jokingly said: "Zhu Xiang has a fancy for which talents, let's see if he will bring them to Zheng'er as a teacher." It is said that when Zhu Xiang first met Li Mu, he instigated Zheng'er to call Teacher Li Mu. His discerning eyes are truly amazing. I don't know how much Zheng'er can learn. ”

Lao Qin Wang said with a smile: "Zheng'er has so many capable people to teach, everyone learns a few points, and it is not bad." ”

He sighed: "If Zhu Xiang had been born a few decades earlier, if the widow could live for another twenty or thirty years, the widow might be able to unify the world." Now, I can only leave it to you. ”

The old King Qin couldn't help but feel jealous of his descendants in his heart.

Prince Zhu said: "Zhu Xiang once said that if a person eats ten cakes and is full, it does not mean that he only needs to eat the last cake to be full. If Zhu Xiang appeared decades earlier, even if he entered Qin, the Qin State would need to develop step by step, and it would be necessary to bring down the world little by little. ”

Old King Qin sighed and said, "Yes." ”

He smiled and said, "You are becoming more and more able to talk now, and you are becoming more and more afraid of me." ”

Prince Zhu said embarrassedly: "If I don't work harder, I will make my father sad." Besides, Xia Tong and Zheng'er are very good, and I, as an elder, don't want to lose to them. ”

"It's good to have ambitions." Old King Qin patted Prince Zhu's shoulder and said, "I used to think you were very mediocre. Now that I see you, you already have the appearance of Mingjun. Although you are a different ruler from me, my father is looking forward to your accomplishments. ”

Prince Zhu said excitedly: "Yes! The son must live up to the expectations of the monarch! ”

Prince Zhu was so excited that he couldn't help crying.

This is the first time he has heard his father's straightforward approval since he was a child.

The old king of Qin kindly helped the old son wipe away his tears, patted him on the shoulder again, and did not continue to speak.

He was really pleased.

He also really regretted it.

If he can dominate the world, this son may be able to become a good Fumin Mingjun who will carry forward the past and forge ahead into the future.

It's a pity, it's a pity.

I hope that Xia Tong and Zheng'er will not live up to their expectations, and I hope that Zhu Xiang can live longer.

……

Li Mu won a big victory, and the news of running all the way to Hubei soon spread in Xianyang.

Chu's relatives were in a very complicated mood.

They didn't dare to show complicated feelings under the coercion of the old Qin King, which made their feelings even heavier and more complicated.

They looked at Zhu Xiang's other village (actually Zheng'er's other village), and their eyes were extremely cold.

Bai Qi, who burned the ancestral tomb of the Chu State, became friends with Zhu Xiang, and Li Mu, who immediately took the credit for the Chu State as soon as he came to the Qin State, was Zhu Xiang's friend, why couldn't he get along with the Chu State all the time?

Even Mrs. Huayang muttered a few words to Zi Chu.

However, after Mrs. Huayang muttered, she said, "That's it, sooner or later, the Qin State will destroy the Chu State." It was extinguished earlier, and I didn't bother to listen to so many complaints. ”

Zichu: "??? ”
