The military geography learned randomly in later generations was brought to the extreme by Xiong Jing. He understood the historical practices of this land. In addition to the two brief unifications from south to north (the previous one was overturned by Zhu Di's Yan army 34 years later, and the next one was just nominal unification, which only lasted for 22 years), the rest completed the unification from north to south. The State of Chu was located in the south. If he wanted to avoid such historical destiny, he could only use mountains and rivers to block the Qin army's offensive, otherwise he could only go into the sea to survive.

But there is only the last line of defense between the north and the south, the Jianghuai, Xiangyang and Bashu. In addition, Bashu and Xiangyang have long been in the hands of the Qin State. This line of defense is difficult to maintain by the Jianghuai in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. It may be useful to establish Wuchang, where the Han River meets the Yangtze River, to guard the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, but the river is different from mountains and rivers. Whoever controls the mountains and rivers will benefit. The natural danger of the Yangtze River is a sharing of the offensive and defensive sides, but it is actually not as good as the mountains and rivers.

Once the Jianghuai defense line is broken through, the only last line of defense that the south can rely on is Wuling. Dayuling is one of them. Xiongjing has long forgotten what other Matianling or ridges are left. Thinking of this, he stood up suddenly, and saw the night outside and had to sit down heavily.

"Please get up and change clothes." Chang Jiang's annoying voice sounded in Xiong Jing's ears every morning, which reminded him of the morning self-study in elementary school. "Please get up and change clothes." Chang Jiang shouted again, and at the same time looked at the drum man beside him in pain. According to Xiong Jing's king's order, if he didn't get up after shouting twice, the drum man would be beaten the drum.

‘Dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong…’ The drum sounded in the tent at the main bed, and Mi Yu laughed and looked at Concubine Zhao: “Brother Wang is getting up late again.”

"The king is diligent." Concubine Zhao sat on the mat, and the man was arranging breakfast. Because she was not in the hall, it was not easy to make a fire when there was wind. Only when the firewood was burning would the fire not be blown out by the wind. Soon the smoke from the cooking stove began to boil, and at this time, Xiong Jing, who was half open with panda eyes, appeared on the earthen platform of Ruoying Palace.

"The child greets his mother." Xiong Jing paused his head at Concubine Zhao in a daze.

"The mother is safe, but the king..." Did the son give birth to himself or her? Concubine Zhao looked at her son with a distressed heart. "The king should hand over the government affairs to the Lingyin, and the military affairs to the Grand Sima..."

"Mother, they don't understand what I can do?" Xiong Jing closed his eyes and drank the soup. He only slept for more than two hours last night.

"Okay, they don't understand." Concubine Zhao didn't know what to say. She just hoped that her son would sleep for a while, even during breakfast.

"Report to the king, the people of the country came to the court half an hour later, and ordered the minister to report to the king." Naoju recovered from his injuries and returned to Zuotu Zhaoshu and bowed to Ruoying's palace.

"I'm not aware of it." Xiong Jing got up late and closed his eyes until now he had not finished eating. He opened one eye and glanced at Zhaoshu, then looked at Changjiang, and said, "The things written on the paper made the Grand Sima Mansion go quickly."

"I respectfully accept the order." Zhaoshu agreed, took the Chu paper from Changjiang's hand and stepped down from the platform. When he saw Naojiu outside the court, he said, "The king ordered the Grand Sima Mansion to go quickly."

"What's the matter?" Naojiu opened the Chu paper and looked at it a few times, then looked up and said: Explore along the Hunan River and Gan River, and build the Five Ridge Defense Line. After looking closely, he had not spoken for a long time. He just waited for Zhaoshu to call him a few words before he came to his senses.

"What's the will of the king?" Zhaoshu was not the imperial court, and he had no right to read the king's order written by the king to the Grand Sima Mansion.

"King..." Naojiu took a deep breath and said with a smile: "The king was born to know that he wanted to build a city in the South China Sea, so as to prevent the Qin people from moving south."

"South China Sea? The South China Sea is a place of miasma." Zhao Shu gasped and said horrifiedly: "Why are you saying that I, Chu people, are going to retreat to the South China Sea?! What about the more you go, how about the more you go?"

"If the Qin people attack me, if I retreat to Jiangdong, I will fight back to Zhao." The eighty army was approaching, but Naojing knew the situation very well. Qin could not cross the Yangtze River to continue to attack Chu. "When Zhao State destroys the country, the five countries in Guandong will be destroyed, and then attack our Chu State. At that time, the Qin people would cross the river and fight hard with me. Only the north of Jiangdong can be defended by the dangers. Dongting and Ganzhou are not at risk. Now the king ordered the Grand Sima Mansion to explore the five ridges and build a city on the five ridges and defend it. This is a great good thing."

"Where is Yingdu standing?" Zhao's clan was enfeoffed in Yuedi, but the smaller the land was.

"Of course, it is impossible to stand in the South China Sea. If the Qin people captured Shanggan, the sea routes of Yuedi could be connected to the South China Sea. In this way..." Naojiu thought of those small states who went north to serve the king and the tribe leader, and he was embarrassed. He vaguely knew some of the five ridges mentioned by the king. These were some small paths to the north by the Baiyue tribe. It was not difficult to build a city here, but it would be difficult to let Baiyue accept the Chu people and retreat to the South China Sea and Luoyue. The southern barbarians cherished the land, mountains and forests very much. More than two million Chu people flocked into the South China Sea and Luoyue, and they would definitely oppose it.

When Naojiu kept thinking about how to discuss this matter with the Southern Barbarians, Xiong Jing, who had finished breakfast, had already arrived at the court. As soon as he left the thief, Xuanduan on the court trembled. The court officials, Wu Jie, Tianguan, and the people who had been waiting for a long time bowed together and said, "I have seen the king."

"No gift." Xiong Jing shouted "No gifts." After the gifts, he did not sit down, but said angrily: "Recently, there have been many discussions in the country, and rumors are everywhere, saying that our Chu State will move the capital again. Today, it is clear that Qin State has gathered a total of 800,000 troops of Wei and Han, and wants to attack me again..."

"Ah——" The breath-taking sound could be heard, most of the people present heard the news that Qin would attack them again for the first time. The 800,000 army was like a thunder, rushing on their foreheads.

"Quiet!" After the Chinese people were shocked, they immediately asked each other, and the gurus shouted "Quiet" when they saw this.

"I dare to ask the king," someone took the lead regardless of etiquette: "Eighty Army, is this news accurate?"

"This news is investigated by Zhibian, and I am sure of it." Xiong Jing stopped the servant and pointed at me and stood beside me. The people of the country have the right to know the major military and national affairs, so I and Zhibian are not unfamiliar with me.

"I dare to ask the king, my State of Chu, my State of Chu..." No one panic has moved the capital, and everyone is panic about the Qin army. Another Chinese man stood up, and he was probably scared and did not tell the problem.

"I dare to ask Lingyin, the 800,000 troops attacked me, what is my Chu State?" Finally, there was a distracted man, and he only dared to ask Lingyin.

"God blesses the Great Chu, and our army will win." Naojiu did not explain anything, and he answered eight words as soon as he blew his beard.

"However," Xiong Jing said, "The Qin army recorded its merits with its head. The army passed by, and there were no people or animals. Therefore, the people in the west of Huaibei need to move to Huainan. All the palaces and palaces were demolished, counties and towns, and private houses were demolished. All the merchants and common people wanted to build boats and oars, but the boats and oars could not be built, otherwise the boats and oars would be damaged for several years, and they could only use dry wood."

As Xiong Jing refuted the rumors, the excited crowd of people in the court slowly calmed down. After Xiong Jing finished speaking, almost all the people in the court knelt down, and they shouted: "The king would rather demolish the palace and save all the people, and he is also kind."

Xiong Jing laughed at him, saying that he never took "benevolence" as his criterion.

"I dare to ask the king why I didn't talk to the Qin people?" Some people praised and some questioned, and the ones who asked were Wei Di, a native of the country of Zhi County.

"You should go to Xianyang to ask the King of Qin." Xiong Jing had no expression on his face. The person next to him had told him that this person was a Mo, and he had no good feelings for the Mo. If he despises Confucians like Mencius, he would hate the Mo. However, this person could be selected as a Chinese and had not been captured by his confidant, so there is naturally his reason.

"If the king can write a letter to the King of Qin with the courtesy of his subjects..." Wei Di continued.

"Irregular!" Before the bride could be scolded, the Chinese people around Wei Di were already scolded angrily.

"This is Qin spy." In addition to rebuking, there were also resentful accusations. Wei Di immediately stood there empty, and everyone avoided it, with only a few people from Song Di standing beside him.

"Let him finish." When the soldier was about to step forward, Xiong Jing stopped them.

"Thank you, King." Wei Di was a little surprised by Xiong Jing's generosity. It was rumored that the King of Yingdu was vindictive and killed people like a slaughter. "I think that instead of demolishing all the palaces and moving people to Huainan, it would be better to ask the King of Qin for peace. Such an attack can be avoided and the people can also be safe."

After Wei Di said that, everyone shook their heads and asked for peace with Qin. It was a delusion. Look at Zhao. This year, the alliance will be held and next year will attack Qin. There is no trust in Qin. What is the use of seeking peace? Wei Di also knew everyone's thoughts and realized that he was asking for the people. He said again: "I heard that the Qin people asked for the request of the king is the only king. If the king can go to Xianyang..."

"Bold!" The soldiers around Dating shouted, and a few of them had already pulled out of the way.

Xiong Jing stopped him again and asked with interest: "Why did the Qin people seek unceasing, and they would go to Xianyang if they were unceasing?"

"If the king arrives in Xianyang, all the people can be safeguarded." Wei Di took the initiative, and no one dared to say such words, he dared.

"If all people cannot protect themselves, what is the benefit of saving them?" Xiong Jing finally understood Wei Di's idea. It was not strange. There were more people like this in later generations. "All people are not worthy of being the people of our Chu State, but only worthy of being the slave of our Chu State. That is, they are already slaves, why should the master sacrifice himself for the slaves?

The Qin people had eighty armies, and millions of troops attacked me, how could they be afraid? All the slaves said they were afraid, but the Chu people were nervous, but they would never panic when fighting. In the past, the Yin people attacked Chu, but all the ancestors were? In the past, the Zhou people also attacked Chu, but the ancestors were afraid? They did not accept Zhou!

Now the Qin people have not yet unified the world, so they fight and fight, wanting to offer others and save themselves. They are so humble that they can be slaves."
