Daqin Engineering Corps

"Mr. Changping has won the prize."

"The subordinates are just making up random training, how do they know how to train soldiers?"

Mr. Changping said with a smile:

"Deputy General Shen is too modest, and the Black Armored Army has only been in the position of Vice General for more than a month, and they have defeated Chu's navy army. How can it be a random training?"

"Now that I heard that Vice General Shen is training the Daliang Army again, I am eager to know what amazing performance the Daliang Army will have on the battlefield."

Shen Bing started talking again:

"Jun Changping was joking, it's just Shen Bing's luck, it's nothing to worry about."

Just kidding, knowing that Lord Changping would rebel against Qin, he told him how to train soldiers.

If he is smart enough, he can see the strengths and weaknesses of Daliang Army just from training, and then prescribe the right medicine in the future.

Mr. Chang Ping looked at Shen Bing with some doubts, and then suddenly understood: this guy has seen through everything about him, so he took precautions.

Thinking of this, Lord Changping couldn't help but look at Shen Bing a few more times, secretly thinking that this son might be the great enemy of Chu State.

Yang Duanhe also faintly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, but he didn't know the reason, so the reception banquet broke up not long after.

But things didn't end there.

As soon as Shen Bing left the camp, he was stopped by one of Mr. Changping's personal guards:

"Deputy General Shen, Mr. Changping has a request."

Shen Bing's heart trembled, and he secretly wondered if Lord Changping sensed something was wrong and wanted to kill people to silence him?

But after thinking about it, he felt that Mr. Changping would not be so stupid.

You must know that Shen Bing at this time is the deputy general of the Daliang Army. If he kills people to silence him... How can he, Lord Changping, survive?

After thinking about it, he confessed to Ren who was accompanying him, and then left with his personal guards.

Lord Changping stayed at the Palace of the King of Wei.

He lived in a royal palace in South Korea, and of course he could also live in a royal palace in Wei.

It's just that the palace of King Wei at this time was not clean, because most of the palaces were used to store food, and only one of them was sorted out for the use of Lord Changping and his subordinates.

This is often the case during the Warring States Period. On the surface, it looks very prestigious and famous, but in fact it is already sunset.

The same is true for Lord Changping. All he can have is the more than a hundred guards and some followers when he was Xiangbang.

At this time, almost all the diners have left, leaving only a few people with no ambition to eat and drink.

Shen Bing was invited into the hall, but there was not a single servant inside.

Seeing Shen Bing coming in, Lord Changping stepped forward and bowed deeply to Shen Bing.

This really startled Shen Bing, he hurried up to help Lord Changping up and said:

"Why did Lord Changping perform such a great gift?"

Lord Changping said sadly:

"My life is already in the hands of the deputy general. If the deputy general refuses to save me, I will have no way out."

When Mr. Changping said this about Shen Bing, he understood:

Who is this Lord Changping? He can be reused by Yingzheng and serve as a prime minister in Qin, so how can he not see his secret rejection at the wine table.

Now that Shen Bing knows the intentions of Mr. Changping, is it possible for Mr. Changping to succeed in his rebellion?

If Mr. Changping's rebellion fails, he will have to stay in Qin, which is still a dead end.

So Mr. Changping, who was in a desperate situation, simply opened the skylight and asked himself for help.

Shen Bing felt quite a headache for a moment, he accidentally fell into the pit of Mr. Changping.

Lord Changping bowed to Shen Bing again and said:

"Vice General Shen is a wise man that I have rarely seen in my life. If Vice General Shen has nothing to do, I will have to find my own way today."

Shen Bing replied:

"Mr. Changping...why don't you stay in Qin?"

"As the saying goes, the boat must go straight when it reaches the bridge, and there will be a way when the time comes."

Mr. Changping got up and sighed, took two heavy steps, and said:

"Vice General Shen doesn't know anything."

"Your Majesty has become suspicious of me, so I placed me in Xinzheng."

"It's fine if I'm an incompetent person, but that's not the case."

"One day after Qin State destroys Chu, how can Your Majesty tolerate me?"

Mr. Changping made a very thorough analysis.

You must know that Lord Changping is the son of King Chu Kaolie and the elder brother of the current King of Chu.

In terms of ability and qualifications, Mr. Changping is even more qualified to be the king of Chu than King Chu of Chu.

If Mr. Changping is just a mediocre person, that's all. Yingzheng won't take him seriously, and he is even willing to put him back to the state of Chu to let him compete with the king of Chu for the throne.

The problem is that Mr. Changping is quite talented and courageous. If he is released to return to Chu and become the king of Chu, wouldn't it be an extra formidable enemy?

Continue to stay in Qin State?

One day when the state of Chu is destroyed, will the people of the state of Chu still miss the King of Chu?

One day, as long as Lord Changping returns to Chu and rises up, wouldn't that be another Chu king?

That's how Yingzheng fled back to the Qin country and became the king of the Qin country in a sudden transformation. How could he leave the "disaster" of Lord Changping at this time?

So it was only a matter of time before Yingzheng took action against Mr. Changping. At this time, it was not yet time, or it was already time to start testing Mr. Changping.

But what can Shen Bing do?

The fault of Mr. Changping is that he is the son of King Chu Kaolie.

Otherwise, he should still be Xiangbang at this time and still be reused by Yingzheng.

After thinking about it, Shen Bing said:

"Shen Bing has a plan, but I don't know Mr. Changping..."

Mr. Changping hurriedly replied:

"I would like to hear the details, please give me some advice from the deputy general."

Shen Bing said:

"As long as Lord Changping brings Xiang Yan and the old tribe of Chu to the Great Qin Dynasty, the king will definitely treat Lord Changping kindly for this great achievement."

Mr. Changping wondered:

"I am alone, how can I persuade Xiang Yan and the old Chu tribe to surrender to Qin?"

"If I go to Chu to be a lobbyist, I'm afraid..."

Shen Bing replied:

"If Mr. Changping is the King of Chu, he can do it."

Mr. Changping looked at Shen Bing in surprise:

"How can I become the King of Chu?"

Shen Bing answered with confidence:

"If the Qin army captures Shouchun and captures King Chu of Chu, and Lord Changping flees back to Chu, how can he not become the king of Chu?"

"At that time, it will depend on whether Lord Changping is willing to surrender to Qin."

Mr. Changping couldn't help being stunned on the spot when he heard the words.

Chapter 197

After thinking for a while, Mr. Changping shook his head and said:

"The deputy general doesn't know."

"If this gentleman lives in Qin land like this, why bother to descend to Qin?"

That's what it says.

In fact, Mr. Changping doesn't need to do anything if he wants to survive.

What Shen Bing said was so troublesome: first he fled to Chu to become the king, and then persuaded Xiang Yan to surrender to Qin... As a result, Lord Changping was still in the same situation as he is now, and he was still worried that Ying Zheng would kill him all day long.

Not to mention that the result has not improved from the present, it is better to simply die than to live like this, or simply be the king of Chu and Qin to fight to the death.

Of course, Shen Bing's thoughts were not that simple, he just replied:

"Does Lord Changping know Lord Anling?"

Mr. Changping nodded, then looked at Shen Bing thoughtfully:

"The lieutenant general means... I negotiated with the king to keep my fief?"

Shen Bing replied:

"Exactly."

Mr. Changping replied with some worry:

"But this lord is not Anling lord."

"At that time, the king is afraid..."

Shen Bing said:

"The reason why Lord Anling can keep Anling City is firstly because he is willing to surrender, secondly because the walls of Anling City are strong and thick, and thirdly because the Qin land has nothing to do around Anling."

"That's why Your Majesty can rest easy, and Lord Anling can keep his fief."

Changping-kun nodded in agreement.

It is actually a very delicate balance to take or not to take.

If Yingzheng can take Anling City with just a thought or a sentence, then of course Anling City cannot be kept.

The problem is that it is difficult to take Anling City, and Anling is willing to surrender, but he is doomed to do nothing, so after careful consideration, Yingzheng will allow Lord Anling to retain the fiefdom.

Shen Bing continued:

"Isn't Jiangdong another Anling?"

Mr. Changping suddenly realized, and secretly said:

Go!

In Jiangdong, there is the Xiang family and the various tribes of Baiyue, and there are many mountains, dense forests, dense water networks and dense networks.

If Jiangdong's fiefdom can be used as a condition to surrender, wouldn't it be another Anling City?

Modern Jiangdong, namely Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, is a rich and prosperous place, but in ancient times, this area was called a barren land because of backward production conditions, forests and thorns everywhere, and wild animals.

Therefore, Chu State is always called the country of barbarians by other countries.

Marching and fighting in this area is very difficult.

This is the reason why the Xiang family was able to survive in Jiangdong for a long time and was finally incorporated by Chu State, and it is also the main reason why Chu State still maintains the aristocratic fief...

Since entering the Warring States period, with the development and requirements of the military, Qixiong has more or less carried out military and political reforms... If you don’t reform, you will fall behind, and if you fall behind, you will only be beaten, so you can’t do it if you don’t change.

But among the Seven Kingdoms, only the Chu Kingdom has the most shallow reforms, and it can even be said that it has not made any progress.

The reason is that although some nobles obstructed it due to the loss of interests, what is more important is the special terrain and terrain of the country.

Chu State is the only country among the Seven Kingdoms that has a large area of ​​land in the south of the Yangtze River.

The relatively flat terrain in the area north of the Yangtze River is suitable for large-scale sowing and harvesting, which is very important in ancient times when productivity was underdeveloped and transportation was inconvenient.

In the south of the Yangtze River, there are mountains and rivers with winding roads, which are extremely unfavorable to life, production and irrigation.

The reason why modern people don't feel obvious about this is because roads, expressways, railways, tunnels, etc. have largely eliminated this disadvantage.
