Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

Although the Xiao family has never produced a high-ranking official, it is a truly famous family in Peixian County. No matter how many nationalities are changed in Peixian County, the Xiao family can hold an important position in the operation of the Peixian government system. For generations, The influence of the Xiao family in Peixian County is quite extraordinary. Even in front of Qin Jun, Xiao He, as the current head of the Xiao family, has his own weak side.

In the end, Xiao He didn't know how he was persuaded by Liu Ji, and he agreed to help Liu Ji enter the Qin army's camp. But as for the final result, Xiao He didn't care. His face with the Qin army could only go so far. , The Xiao family has a great business, and Liu Ji is not someone who can throw away everything at a critical moment.

Following Xiao He, Liu Ji looked at the Qin army who was training in the military camp, but his face turned slightly pale and his calves were shaking a little. He had been thinking about making some contribution to his hometown because of his enthusiasm. At this time, his enthusiasm subsided and he couldn't help but I'm a little scared. This Qin army is too scary, even scarier than the tigers in the mountains. If you want to seek skin from a tiger, don't end up being eaten by a tiger.

However, everyone is here, and it is obvious that Liu Ji has no chance to regret.

As the Chinese army tent appeared in front of Liu Ji, Liu Ji seemed to have heard his own heartbeat. He who thought he was well-informed really felt nervous.

Following the report from the soldiers, Liu Ji and Xiao He were led into the Chinese army's tent.

The furnishings in the spacious Chinese army tent were very simple. There were no swords, guns or halberds. There was only one person. The moment he saw that person, Liu Ji couldn't help but froze. He seemed to know this person.

Seeing the person in front of him, Liu Ji's memory was instantly brought back to Daliang City. At that time, Lord Xinling was still alive, and at that time, he was eating and drinking with his friend Zhao Er.

But, how could that person be him? Thinking of some of the rumors he heard in Daliang City, Liu Ji couldn't help but think: Could it be that he really killed Lord Xinling?

"Liu Ji? Long time no see." While Liu Ji was secretly sizing up Yang Ming in surprise, Yang Ming was also sizing up Liu Ji. The Liu Ji he met in Daliang City met him again in Peixian County. He arrived, and Liu Ji was able to persuade Xiao He to bring him here. This can be regarded as a great talent.

However, at this time, Liu Ji, who had not been struggling for decades, was obviously not yet complete. Although he was somewhat outstanding and could be called a hero in the world, that was all.

However, Yang Ming will not underestimate the opponent just because of it. Liu Ji's instinct has always been how strong he is, but his ability to adapt to the environment and his strong learning ability. This is a person who can continuously improve himself. , let yourself adapt to the existence of any kind of role. He can be a local ruffian, or he can be the chief of the pavilion in charge of local security for ten miles. He can also be a general marching and fighting. He can even adjust himself to a higher position. That role.

Unlike Qin Wangzheng, who was born a king, and Xiang Yu, who was born a god of war, everything he had was acquired. This is Liu Ji's characteristic.

"Are you the one from Daliang City?" After Yang Ming revealed his name, how could Liu Ji still be unsure of Yang Ming's identity? However, how could that be possible?

"You are here just in time. I have something that I need you to do."

Yang Ming no longer paid attention to Liu Ji, but directly focused on Xiao He. Compared with Liu Ji, who had not yet grown up, Xiao He was different. This person could govern a county and a country. But the real talents, especially this one, are in a low enough position, so they have access to many things that the ministers in Xianyang cannot. Their experience and wisdom are first-rate. For the current Yang Ming, he is really a rare person. Got the talent.

In less than a moment, Xiao He and Liu Ji left the military camp, but they were accompanied by a small group of Yulin Guards.

Until he returned to the county town, Liu Ji still felt like he was in a dream.

If ten Yulin Guard soldiers hadn't really appeared around him, Liu Ji would have even thought that what just happened was a lie.

Yang Ming handled matters very efficiently. He clearly issued his military orders without giving Liu Ji and Xiao He too much time to think. From the beginning to the end, he did not consider whether Liu Ji and Xiao He would refuse. .

"Master Xiao, what happened just now?" Liu Ji stared with doubtful eyes. Although he thought he was well-informed, he was still full of doubts at this time.

"Do you know that general?" Xiao He asked in shock.

"I don't know if it counts as acquaintance, more accurately, meeting." Liu Ji recalled.

"How do you say this?" Xiao He asked. At Liu Ji's request, on the one hand, he could not save face, but on the other hand, he really wanted to do something for the people of Pei County, so he agreed to take Liu Ji to the Qin Army. camp, but what happened in the Qin Army camp was too dreamy.

They did nothing. Yang Ming, the general of the Qin army who commanded 100,000 Qin troops, actually ordered him and Liu Ji to summon the young men of Pei County to form an inspection force of 800 people. The so-called inspection, It was the name Yang Ming gave these eight hundred people.

Inspection, inspection, patrolling Pei County, checking for banditry from all directions.

Although this is the goal of the two of them, they also know that it is very difficult to achieve this goal. If nothing else, the Qin army came all the way to invade the Chu State, so they were really willing to pay for food and arms. Such a patrol force that may not be under their control at all?

But the fact is that when they entered the military camp, without saying anything, Yang Ming directly accomplished their goal and also allocated a batch of crossbows and armor to them.

In this era, although the people cannot help but have weapons such as swords, things like bows, crossbows and armor are not something ordinary people can possess. If anyone has these things, it will be fine if the government does not investigate. But if the government investigates, it will be all Illegal things, especially when these things appear on a certain scale, are prohibited by various legal orders.

But now, they have more than a hundred armors and dozens of crossbows. The most important thing is that these are completely under their control.

Liu Ji, who not long ago was despised by his father and disliked by his brothers and sister-in-law, suddenly had an official position and suddenly became one of the most powerful people in Pei County.

It seems that such a thing can only happen when the old order collapses and the new order has not yet been established.

Faced with Xiao He's doubts, Liu Ji recalled: "A few years ago, I met this general of the Qin Army in Daliang City, but at that time he was not called by his current name..."

Recalling his experience in Daliang City, Liu Ji also had a look of regret on his face. At that time, he went to Daliang City with the eldest son of the Zhu family and made many friends. However, the assassination of Lord Xinling later changed that good period. His life was over, and he was almost implicated and his life was in danger.

And the protagonist in that incident turned out to be a general who led an army of 100,000 to attack Chu. Things in the world were so unpredictable that it was difficult to understand.

Listening to Liu Ji's story, Xiao He also fell into hesitation. He knew that Liu Ji was able to escape unharmed after traveling all over the country. He must not be as incompetent as he seemed on the surface, but he never thought that in Liu Ji's body, he could actually escape. There is also such a mysterious experience.

"Master Xiao, tell me, what does General Yang mean? Does he really trust us?" Liu Ji asked again while Xiao He was thinking.

"He may not necessarily believe in us, he probably just doesn't care." Xiao He recalled his previous experience in the military camp.

"Don't care?" Liu Ji was stunned. What kind of explanation is this? Can just not caring completely change his destiny?

"Yeah, I don't care. Even if you have 800 patrol soldiers, what will happen? Pei County is not in his eyes yet, do you think you have the qualifications? If you have second thoughts, he can do it casually How much do you think he will care if he suppresses you?" Xiao He asked.

"That's really the case." Liu Ji suddenly said.

When Xiao He had a sad look on his face, Liu Ji suddenly laughed and said, "Whatever, I'm an official now anyway, and with 800 patrol soldiers at hand, I can keep everything safe." , as for other things, that is out of our control, we just need to do what we can, and it’s not me, it’s us.”

Looking at Liu Ji who looked optimistic, Xiao He couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Could things really be that simple?

How can it be?

But sometimes things are really that simple. No matter whether Liu Ji and Xiao He can achieve those brilliant achievements in the future, they are really not worth calculating for Yang Ming now.

Yang Ming just made a casual move with them. Although he would gain something if he succeeded, he would not lose anything if he failed. Among the thieves whose composition was difficult to distinguish and who were causing trouble in the rear of the Qin army, there were signs of activities of peasants. , allowing farmers like Liu Ji to deal with those farmers who have given up their bottom line can bury a hidden danger for the farmers. Of course, how big this hidden danger can be depends on Liu Ji's ability.

This is true whether it is Lu Wen who is a single father or Liu Ji now.

As for Xiao He, he is a talent that can be used immediately. Yang Ming has many people who are good at fighting, but there are not many people who can help Yang Ming handle military chores. Zhang Han was originally a good candidate, but it is a pity that he stayed Di Qiu and Yang Ming could only find someone else.

After arranging all matters in Peixian County and leaving a Qin army to protect the Qin army's retreat, less than 100,000 troops headed directly towards Pengcheng.

Since entering Chu, for the 100,000 Qin troops, the real war is about to begin. If they can capture Pengcheng, they can sweep the Western Chu land of Chu State to their heart's content, which is enough to shake the internal situation of Chu State and even overthrow it. .
