Not feeling unhappy because of Xiang Yan's cold words, Yan Zhi clapped his hands, and the soldiers of the Vanguard Battalion who had been ambushing in the dark appeared before his eyes again.

"The situation in the state of Chu has become so serious that the old general took the risk and came to Nanjun in person. The King of Chu is not able to follow others, and the old general must have seen it clearly." Asking his subordinates to stay at a distance, Yan Zhi looked at Xiang Yan as usual, "Although Yan Zhi is not talented, he can still talk in front of the king. The old general doesn't have to worry about making mistakes in the future."

Now is a time of great struggle. The state of Qin never asks about their origins. It recruits the world's wise men. There are many talented people from all over the world who are not reused in their own country. There are many people who go to Qin. It is not a disgraceful thing to choose the state of Qin at this time. .

It can be said that the Xiang family was pushed to this point by the state of Chu. Even if later generations talk about it, they can only lament that the king of Chu has no talent to govern the country, and the clan only cares about itself, so how can they criticize Xiang Yan's choice.

Soldiers are important matters in the country, the place of death and life, the way of survival, the king of Chu is incompetent, the state of Chu is in decline, and the people of Chu are fighting among themselves. In such a situation, it is not wrong for Xiang Yan to prioritize preserving the strength of the clan.

After finishing speaking, Yan Zhi was not in a hurry to get an answer, but just stood quietly by the side and waited for Xiang Yan to finish thinking.

Thinking that he should be the one to persuade, Long Xiu looked at the old general Xiang Yan's expression, hesitated for a while, then turned around and walked behind Yan Zhi to stand still.

Frowning, he looked at the Xuanjia soldiers with distinctive features not far away, and then looked at the outstanding Yan Zhi holding a sword and shield. Xiang Yan's eyes flashed with clarity, "Qin Xuanjia Cangyun Army?"

Yan Zhi nodded, "Under Yan Zhi, the commander of the Cangyun Army is only under the orders of the King of Qin, the old general can rest assured."

Having already guessed Yan Zhi's identity, Xiang Yan put the long sword in his hand on the ground, and then said solemnly, "Qin has no selfish soldiers, and the clan has no land. If the Xiang clan wants to protect themselves, how should they deal with themselves in Qin? ?”

"The old general thinks that the Xiang clan will have no successors?" Instead of directly answering Xiang Yan's question, Yan Zhi asked back instead.

There are many families who have been generals in the Qin Kingdom for generations, and there are many people who stand up on their own without relying on the power of the family. The younger generation can work hard on their own without taking shortcuts. This is the foundation of the long-term survival of the clan.

"Everyone in the world knows that the three sons of the old general are good generals. With the old general watching over them, how could the Xiang clan have declined like this?"

The overlord of Western Chu who almost overthrew the Qin State came from the Xiang family. After arriving in the Qin State, is there still no place for him to use his skills?

Qin State has no private soldiers, not only the clan has no fiefdoms, but also other people who have conquered the world for Qin State will not have fiefdoms. Yingzheng will not make Qin State another Western Zhou Dynasty, and the enfeoffment system will never appear in Qin State.

The system of prefectures and counties in the Qin State has been implemented since the time of Duke Mu. With the revisions of Li Sihan Fei and other legalists over the years, the world will not be divided again because of the enfeoffment.

Yingzheng is a strong person. Dividing the world into prefectures and counties can put most of the power in his hands, but enfeoffing the princes is not the case. Over time, the princes will definitely turn into the previous state of melee. Another disaster for the world.

Whether in public or private, he will no longer enfeoff princes.

Raising his eyebrows and looking at Yan Zhi whose tone was extremely firm, Xiang Yan had a strange feeling in his heart, how could the Xiang clan produce a warrior so sure?

Before coming here, I already had a plan in mind, and Xiang Yan didn't intend to waste time here, "I don't have any other requirements, the Xiang family is still the prime minister, and all the children from Jiangdong are included in the camp, is it possible?"

"Yes." Xiang Yan nodded and agreed after finishing talking about Yan Zhi. It is not a big deal for the Xiang family not to relocate their family. "The matter of incorporating private soldiers into the army is arranged by the state captain, and the old general does not need to worry about it for the time being."

The tone was much better than before, Yan Zhi didn't mean to hide his thoughts, moved his wrist and raised his eyes and asked, "The old general came to Nanjun, but he brought all Jiang Dong's sons with him?"

Hearing what Yan Zhi said, Xiang Yan's expression sank involuntarily, and he gritted his teeth and said in a hateful voice, "The eldest son, Xiang Qu, went back to the king's capital to collect food, but he was attacked on the way back, and none of the sons he took with him survived. Xiang Liang is still in the camp, and the rest of the troops are now in Nanjun."

If the king of Chu hadn't already started attacking the members of the Xiang family, even with the lessons learned from the Long family, he would not have surrendered to Qin so easily. The children of the old family are only three years old. If the sons of the Xiang family were all murdered, what would happen to their orphans and widows? survive?

Jiangdong's disciples who were sent to guard the clan's land never followed, and the old and young women and children are still serving as a minister. Without the protection of the clansmen, what will happen to those who stayed behind in the clan battle of Chu State?

This was what Xiang Yan was worried about, because the king of Chu was in a state of mind, and he didn't dare to bring out all the soldiers and horses who were inferior to the prime minister, for fear that the people in the king's capital would use the women and children of the clan as hostages to force him to compromise.

Lifting the Mo Dao, Yan Zhi whispered "Sorrow", and then continued, "In this case, please wait for the old general to stay still for the time being, and report the old general's intentions to the king immediately after returning to the camp."

"Commander Lao Yan, the children under the old man's command have been settled, and we will go to the Qin camp with Commander Yan." The expression on his face was not very good, Xiang Yan's voice was low and hoarse, and the soldiers following him also took off their helmets. With a heavy face, he waited for the next order.

A few simple words without gunpowder, but set the next path for the Xiang family. They lived in Chu State for generations, but they had contact with the Qin people when the war started. No matter how many difficulties they had, they could not hide their betrayal. fact.

He followed to the Qin camp, and the soldiers behind him were no longer in danger of their lives, which is very good.

He paused and looked at Xiang Yan, Yan Zhi sighed, "You don't have to be so defensive, the old general, everyone knows that I, the King of Qin, employs people regardless of their background, and not only Qin people are in the temple of Qin, but also the generals in the army. "

He thought that the king of Chu was still thinking about the credit of Xiang's family, and the grain and grass were not distributed because the grain road was cut off. He didn't expect that he was really stupid and detained the king's capital in the capital.

That's all, isn't the consequence of the slaughter of the Long clan enough for them to remember? Looking at the soldiers and horses that belong to the Qin army even though they are still armored by the Chu people, they are really not afraid of what the Xiang clan will do. It was really unexpected to intercept Xiang Yan's eldest son.

The feeling of losing a child in old age can't be relieved in a short time without thinking about it. Yan Zhi walked in front and headed towards the camp, patted Long Xiu on the shoulder to signal him to pay more attention to Old General Xiang Yan.

How to say that the two of them have been friends for generations, it is better than listening to what he, an outsider, said.

Long Xiu, who had no chance to speak from the beginning to the end, looked at the imposing old General Xiang Yan next to him with some embarrassment, opened his mouth and finally said nothing.

He was in a downturn for a long time when the Long family was in trouble, but he was the only one left in the family who could lead soldiers. Long Conglong was still young, and the mistress was too difficult. I was busy and slowed down.

The old general has experienced so many things, it is not good for others to say anything at this time, it is better not to speak.

But it's not good to be silent all the time. Feeling the increasingly quiet atmosphere around him, even if neither side had any unnecessary reactions, Long Xiu still felt like a light on his back.

I had no choice but to speak up myself.

Taking two quick steps to catch up with Yan Zhi, Long Xiu said in a deliberate tone, "Because Brother Cong was raised by Commander Yan, the mistress deliberately let the soldiers and horses of the Long family follow Commander Yan..."

"Follow me?" Looking sideways at Long Xiu who was following up, Yan Zhi also thought about the group of soldiers and horses he saw just now and then shook his head, "Cang Yun won't accept cavalry, that kid Long Cong just started learning Wu is nothing, you soldiers who are used to light armor will not be able to adapt to Cang Yun's heavy armor in a short time."

Saying that, Yan Zhi took off the black iron shield on his back and handed it to Long Xiu, motioning him to feel the weight of their weapons.

Knowing that Cang Yun is a heavy armor, it is not that Long Xiu has never been in contact with heavy armor soldiers before. Although the only ones left by the Long family are cavalry, he thinks that his strength is not much worse. However, after really feeling the weight of the shield, Long Xiu's His expression became a little stiff.

The muscles in his arms tensed and he picked up the shield with both hands. Unexpectedly, the Cangyun heavy armor was different from the ordinary heavy armor, Long Xiu twitched his lips, and then returned the shield.

Putting the shield on his back easily, Yan Zhi continued with a normal expression, "Cavalry has the advantage of cavalry, you don't have to follow me just for Long Cong."

Silently watching the movements between Yan Zhi and Long Xiu, Old General Xiang Yan looked at the shields on the soldiers of the Pioneer Battalion beside him, stretched out his hand to think about the weight, and then returned it.

Thinking that Xiang Yan was interested in their weapons, he was not in a hurry now, so Yan Zhi explained to him, "Xuanjia Cangyun is a heavy armored soldier, with a sword and a shield in one attack and defense. Although the moves are simple, they are most suitable for the battlefield."

"It's just that the weapons are heavy, and ordinary people can't bear them, so there are very few people who can enter the Cangyun Army." The Daqin flag fluttering in the wind has appeared in front of his eyes. Fortunately, coming this way, Jiang Yan waved.

After listening to Yan Zhi's explanation, the old general Xiang Yan thought for a moment, and felt that he seemed to have found a good place for his boy who was born with supernatural power.

If it weren't for his incompetence, the child would not have lost his father when he was young. Xuanjia Cangyun is one of the most valued troops of the King of Qin. Although Yan Zhi is the son of Yan, he is very close to the King of Qin. Better around him?
