Cangxue Dragon City of Great Qin Dynasty

The weather was getting colder day by day, and the situation in the north became more and more urgent. Based on the information provided by the Wei people, the Xiongnu cavalry finally couldn't help sending troops to the south.

The Qin soldiers and horses that had been prepared for a long time arrived in the north quickly. Wang Jian, Mengtian Qiang and others, together with Li Mu's 30 cavalry, built the Great Qin frontier as solid as gold.

Yan Zhi didn't care about the situation in the north. He and Li Xin had already led troops out of Wuguan with General Mengwu.

Qin State established Yingchuan County in Handi after taking South Korea. If they have enough troops, they can directly attack the current capital of Chu Kingdom directly along Shangcai Pingyu with Yingchuan as the rear.

But now they only have 10 soldiers and horses, and Chu State has a vast territory with only [-] people.

The Shangcai area in Pingyu was originally a place where Chu, Wei and South Korea fought back and forth. After so many years of competition, there is still a Great Wall built during the struggle between Chu and Wei. Perhaps it is more appropriate to call it the gap.

Looking south from here, you can see the military camp of Chu State.

In the past, we were guarding against Wei, but now we are guarding against Qin. Anyway, we are all guarding, and no one can take it lightly.

As for the Qi State in the northeast, Chu State has not had war with them for many years, and Qi State is in a corner, even if it is possible, they will not send troops?

The state of Chu wants to protect itself, and the state of Qi also needs to protect itself. Neither of them can defeat Qin, so why waste their troops fighting each other?

The king of Qi bowed his head to the state of Qin a long time ago, thinking that he could keep his family and country in that way, but the state of Chu was not so optimistic.

Standing on the city wall and looking at the flat land to the south, Yan Zhi folded his arms and clicked his tongue, not very satisfied with the current situation.

From the north to the south of Yingchuan, there are mostly plains. Whether it is Cangyun or cavalry bows and crossbowmen, they all have great advantages, but it is only on the surface. No one can guess how many ambushes Chu has set up there. .

Fighting from Yingchuan to the south is not as good as going east from Danyang. The west of Danyang has been the land of Qin since ancient times. The Qin army is familiar with the terrain and it is more convenient to fight. The danger is extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Qin's navy is all in the area of ​​Bashu. From Danyang to the east, there are mostly rivers and swamps. Chu's navy is fierce. If they want to attack the hinterland of Chu from there, they will suffer heavy losses.

Attacking from Pingyu is their best choice, but now is not the time to send troops, not only because they are few in number, but also because Chu State is in internal strife.

The lineage of the royal family is not correct, and the other princes left behind by the former king of Chu are all staring at him, such as Lord Changping who asked for orders to go to Yingdu.

He is the eldest son of the first king of Chu. Although he has always lived in the state of Qin and is now the prime minister of the state of Qin, no one can deny that he can inherit the throne of the state of Chu.

The members of the Xiang clan appeared in Yingdu, probably planning these things, but the Xiang clan is not the only one in the state of Chu, how could the other clans just watch Xiang rush to the front?

Li Xin, who just came back from the camp, looked up and saw Yan Zhi who was standing on the wall without knowing what he was thinking. He turned his eyes and threw the horse off, then climbed up the wall calmly.

Sensing the person approaching slowly with restrained breath behind him, Yan Zhi pressed the corners of his eyes, then turned around with no expression on his face.

Two steps away, Li Xin suddenly met a pair of dark eyes and stopped. He looked up at the empty sky for a while, then smiled twice and came up to hook his shoulders, "There is news from Yingdu. Let's go back to camp."

General Meng Wu is the main general, and both of them are lieutenants. Now that the surface is calm, it is rare for them to be at ease.

Most of the affairs in the army are handled by General Meng Wu, and the subordinates can arrange the daily drills properly. After Yan Zhi and General Li Xin have finished handling their affairs, they can manage the rest of the time by themselves.

Turning his head to look at Li Xin who just came back from the outside, Yan Zhi didn't dislike him, "It's not very peaceful on the other side these days, is it related to the matter in Yingdu?"

"Chu Ying on the opposite side started to make trouble again?" Hearing Yan Zhi's words, Li Xin's eyes lit up, but Li Xin didn't answer, his eyes were full of eagerness.

A few days ago, he personally led a group of people to go deep into the state of Chu, and found a lot of interesting news. Even if they can't make a big attack this winter, they won't be too boring.

They have enough food and grass and no worries. It is also very interesting to watch the conflicting clans in Chu here.

Thinking of this, Li Xin raised his eyebrows, "The news from Ying Du has just been sent to General Meng, and what I want to talk about is what I heard in Chu State these days."

"What's the matter?" Yan Zhi asked very face-saving, while walking, he greeted the patrolling soldiers, and then went towards the camp where General Meng Wu was.

Li Xin squeezed his chin, and a malicious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Young master Xiangchu's retainers killed the king of Chu, and he has been proclaimed the new king of Chu. Dismembered by five horses."

"It's really cruel." Yan Zhi sighed, and had no sympathy for Li Yuan, the power minister of Chu State who was about to be divided into five horses.

The Chu royal family is just one of the many clans. He mixed up the Chu royal family's lineage and tried to control the Chu country.

There are many clans in the state of Chu, and Li Yuan, as a member of Zhao, even if he knew the situation there in advance, Gao Gao probably forgot what kind of existence those clans really existed after a few years of working there.

A person who is not even considered by the king of Chu, how could it be possible for an outsider to handle him.

In the camp, General Meng Wu, who was buried by a pile of bamboo slips, gathered the news from all parties. When he saw Yan Zhi and Li Xin coming, he just nodded and looked away from the map.

Seeing how this man got angry in the hall, the two lieutenants involuntarily tensed up and stood where they were, not sure if General Meng Wu would see any news again and then frown and become irritable.

Hearing that the two of them were going to serve as lieutenants of General Meng Wu to guard the border between Qin and Chu, Meng Tian was so frightened that he went straight to the barracks and cried to them about the "abuse" he suffered back then.

My son's practice is definitely different from others, but Yan Zhi and Li Xin still couldn't help being a little apprehensive when they saw the upright General Meng Wu after being interrupted by Meng Tian.

It's like going back to the time when I was a child and was watched by all the commanders, and if the training failed to meet the standard, I would perform Yangko in public in the martial arts arena.

Fortunately, General Meng Wu's sternness was limited to Meng Tian alone. Li Xin, who was afraid of being carried around and drilled like an ordinary soldier, deliberately pulled Meng Yi out to ask questions, and then put his suspended heart back.

Meng Yi, as the only member of the Meng family who did not enter the barracks, never knew what his father was like in the barracks, which meant that the brutality of General Meng Wu would not affect innocent young people like them.

Standing upright, Li Xin and Yan Zhi stood beside each other, consciously waiting for the pile of news on General Meng's table to be sorted out.

Before they came, they had already seen almost everything. Meng Wu squeezed his brows and stood up, then pointed to a piece of parchment next to him with the seal of the state of Chu and said, "The king of Chu will change the throne, and the new king of Chu intends to offer Qingyang and seek peace from the land of the West."

The implication is that if there is no accident, the state of Chu will fall into civil strife in the past few years, so the king of Chu can only appease the state of Qin and dare not directly mobilize troops.

Glancing at the parchment on the desk, Yan Zhi looked up at Meng Wu, "Is it the seal stamped after the Chu clan reached a consensus with the King of Chu, or is it just the King of Chu's intention?"
