From the Wei River to the east of more than 400 miles, to Chuan Sikong (now north of Tongguan), it is the Yellow River; from the Yellow River to the east of more than 700 miles, it is the entrance to the Honggu. In this era, the Yellow River rarely flooded and flowed from the continuous flow. Even the river was led to Danshui, Sui River, Fengshui and Yingshui by the Honggu built by the Wei State.

The six hundred-mile gulf connects the entire Huaihe River basin, and the Huaihe River relies on the four hundred and fifty-mile Hangou to connect the Yangtze River in Guangling (Yangzhou). Walking along the water is 120 miles a day, while heavy vehicles are only 60 miles a day, and one car is only 100 stones a day, while a boat can reach dozens of cars. In other words, waterways are the expressways in the pre-Qin period, with fast speed, large transportation volume and low costs.

The north-south expressway from Rongyang to Guangling is the north-south expressway, and from Xianyang along the Yellow River to the east, along the border between Qi and Zhao, and then into Zhao territory. The one that goes to sea in Fuyang (now Cangzhou County), is the east-west expressway.

Of course, there are more than these two expressways. The Huai River occupied by the Chu State and the Yangtze River occupied by the Qin and Chu State are two other, and there are some intermittent roads. For example, the Baishui, south of Fangcheng, Nanyang County, Qin State, flows north and south, merges into the Tang River, merges into the Han River near Deng (Xiangyang), and then injects into the Yangtze River in the old Ying (Jiangling, Hubei). But no matter what, the North and South Avenue was this before the Grand Canal was dug through the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. The nodes on the canal: Rongyang, Daliang, Chen County, Xiang County, Shouying, Huainan, and Guangling are all strategic important places and are also places that must be fought for by military strategists.

When Honggou entered Chu, the first thing he was Chen County, and finally Xiang County. Chu State moved its capital eastward in Chengyang, and after a short stay, it moved its capital to Chen. Thirty-seven years later, the Hezong failed and had no hope of restoring Ying to Shouying.

Chen County has been a capital city for 37 years, so naturally it has been built. Even if it did not exist at the beginning, the State of Chu would spare no effort to build it. In the end, the entire city was 30 miles away, four feet high, and sand and water outside the city, and the city was more than four feet wide. The royal city in the city was like Shouying, with high halls and deep halls, hiking terraces, pavilions and pavilions, and green rooms. However, the geographical restrictions were restricted, and the regulations were slightly smaller than Shouying, and the decoration was not as luxurious as Shouying.

After the Qin army attacked Chu, occupied Yiyi and won the battle with the Chu army in Jiangyi to the south. The Duke of Chu County, who felt the fear of destroying the country, finally panicked. They no longer retained manpower to harvest millet and rice. As long as the men from Fuji were all sent to the front line, as long as the strong women were all transporting food and grass, the remaining old women and children also organized to defend the city.

The Chu State, which had never been mobilized at this scale, was in chaos. Some soldiers had insufficient weapons and could only send wooden sticks. Some troops were running out of food and grass and could only harvest rice on the spot, and they were cut and pounded and eaten. In this regard, the Grand Sima Naojiu, who was on the front line, had no choice, and Xiong Jing, who was in Yingdu, had no choice. Only one Feixun line was built, and most counties and towns across the country were outside the control of the Grand Sima Mansion.

Just when there was no way in the front and rear, Xiong Yuan directly gave the order to the old command and coordination system built in Chen County began to take effect. Chen Jian, the imperial court of Chen County, began to manage the allocation of military and rations in Huaibei cities. The general rear of Chu State became two: one was Shouying, which was swimming in the Huai River, and the other was Chen County next to the gulf. However, today, Chen Gong, who was busy with all kinds of things, closed his door to thank the guests and ignored official duties.

"I haven't seen you for several years, you are safe." Chen Jianxiao looked at Yang Wenjun who was visiting him, very kind.

"Yes, I haven't seen each other for several years. I have been in the fiefdom for twenty years, so I dare not move around." Yang Wenjun, who is over 50 years old, replied with a smile. The fief is hereditary. He is the King of Chu who was appointed by the son of Yang Wenjun and the Empress Dowager Huayang.

"Is the Empress Dowager safe?" Chen Jian asked again, and this was a little anxious, but it was also due to the situation. The Qin army could have moved eastward in the past, but now it can also move eastward?

"Empress Dowager." Yang Wenjun nodded. He knew Chen Jian's concern and said, "The Qin State attacked me this time because of the prime minister Lu Buwei. The Qin State's court magistrate was thoroughly investigating the affairs of Lao Ai and Lu Buwei. It was found that he was immediately resigned and imprisoned. At that time, the Qin army would withdraw."

"So that's it..." Chen Jianda breathed a sigh of relief, finally let go of his heart, and then sat on the table. He was still a little scared when he sat down: "I heard that Qin had sent envoys to Wei and Qi, and wanted to attack me with them."

"This is indeed the case." Yang Wenjun's answer raised Chen Jian's heart again, fortunately, he said in the next sentence: "When harvesting millet, even if Wei and Qi want to send troops, they will have to go to the next month. At that time, Lu Buwei had already resigned, and Changping Jun will be the prime minister of Qin."

"Good, great kindness." Chen Jian, who was Changpingjun, naturally knew that before the Lao Ai Rebellion, he was the Censorate, and then he became the right prime minister. Prime Minister, Prime Minister, Prime Minister, was the prime minister, but if Changpingjun became the prime minister of Qin, he would be the second person under the King of Qin, except that he had no military power, he was no different from the Chu prime minister.

"As the intention of the King of Qin, Qin should destroy Zhao first and then Han and Wei. It is so difficult to destroy the country. Destroy it decades later, and then dies, and Chu should survive." The words finally came to the main point, and Yang Wenjun's words Chen Jian were heard and kept in his heart. "Therefore, Chu should not save Zhao, and he should not save Zhao alone, so as not to anger the King of Qin..."

Looking at Chen Jian who was listening carefully, Yang Wenjun left enough buffer before continuing: "The Queen Mother said: The eldest son should not be established."

Qin was a war machine, and it could destroy it if it rushed there. Fortunately, the machines were controlled by humans, and Qin, which became war machines, had its tribes the most declining among the countries. If the King of Qin failed to rule, or had no team but had no minions, then the control of this war machine was mostly in the relatives of the foreigners rather than in the King of Qin. The most typical one was King Zhaoxiang of Qin. He reigned for fifty-six years, and the real power was to depose the empress dowager and expel the four nobles. At this time, he had been in power for forty years.

The father of King Zheng of Qin was born in a villain and died after three years of being king. Although King Zheng of Qin ascended the throne for nine years, he had never been able to take charge of the rule. Now that he was in charge of the court, he would be influenced by the relatives of the foreign country. Lao Ai was in chaos and his biological mother had a feud, he could rely on the forces that King Zhaoxiang of Qin relied on back then. And this force was in power, so Chu was naturally safe. If Zhao, Han, and Wei were destroyed, it took Qin Wangzheng's life to be destroyed, then Chu could still be preserved before the new king took power. As for the future, who would have thought of too far away things...

‘Can the country survive in the country and war, or can the country survive in the political situation of the Qin Palace?’ The answer to the question is self-evident. It is clear that the Qin Palace is not inferior to the battlefield at all. Chen County is a place with many merchants. Chen Jian heard that the Chen County merchants who returned from Qin said: When Lao Ai was in rebellion, his disciples shouted, ‘King Wei, killing traitors’, and a group of people only fought in Xianyang, rather than passing them all over the place, and they wanted to kill the lord in Yongcheng.

The Qin Palace was sinister. When Yang Wenjun said the last sentence, Chen Jian was still imagining the power struggle between Qin Palace before and after the Qin King was crowned. Seeing Yang Wenjun looking at him in surprise, he came to his senses and was shocked: If the eldest son is not established, who should he establish?

"I have to ask my son to kill the king. If the capital of Ying is in chaos, Ziqian can just stand up and the new king will stand up immediately. I can just say that everyone can accept it." Yang Wenjun said very lightly, and this is what he is here today.

"Really, is it true or false?" Chen Jian, who had always been smart, said a confused sentence. After saying that, he wanted to slap himself. "I understand. It's just that the enemy is in front of Yingdu. If Yingdu is in chaos, it will be unfavorable to the war."

"It's okay." A coup occurred in the rear during the war, which would affect morale no matter what, but Yang Wenjun said it's okay.

"Is General Xiang back?" Chen Jian suddenly thought of someone in his heart and couldn't help asking.

Xiang Yan did come back. He attacked for 200 miles and after guarding the mountain road of Yu Fuyi for thirteen days, he had to abandon all supplies and lead his troops to retreat into the Chu territory under the support of the Tang County Division. The Qin army killed 500 people in Xieyi first, and then killed 20,000 people in Jiangyi. When ten thousand horses were silenced, the Chu State urgently needed a victory, so his achievements in the Qin territory quickly spread throughout the Chu State like the wind. King Xiong Yuan of Chu immediately gave Zhao: He appointed Xiang Yan as the superior gui, gave him an axe, and appointed him as the general. When the Chu army heard the news, it was immediately defeated and everyone asked for a war.

Jiangyi was located between Xixian and Yiyi. Jiangyi was defeated. The Chu army had to retreat to Xixian, echoing the Chu army in Caixian on the east bank of Rushui, and could not join forces. Although the Qin army was victorious, the troops were insufficient. If they attacked Xixian, the Chu army in Caixian would attack Yiyi. If they attacked Caixian, the Chu army in Xixian would also attack Yiyi, so they had to only lead the vanguard to Jiangyi, and then the main force stationed in Yiyi and retreated to the city of Chengyang, and continued to attack the city every day.

The plan agreed by the guard Sikong Ma, the guardian, was agreed upon by Meng Wu. However, Sima Kong had a promise to Meng Wu, that is, 200,000 soldiers would enter Chu next month, and then 300,000 people could defeat the Chu army and eliminate Xi County.

"I dare to ask you to pay homage to the king for your kindness." Xi County, Xiang Yan, who was named Supreme Lord and General Xiang, said the first sentence before leaving the ancestral temple was this - axes represent the royal power, and he did not give it to the ancestral temple to worship his ancestors.

"This..." Grand Sima looked at him in a dilemma, but Cheng Jie smiled and said, "The General defeated the Qin army in Qin territory. The king was looking forward to it day and night. He heard that you should have greeted him in person, but why did he sleep deeper and he would have been better off when meeting him..."

"Follow me." Naoji sighed. Since Xiang Yan had already led the army, it was inappropriate for Xiang Yan to not see the king.

"Which." Xiang Yan didn't look closely at Naojiu's expression, and immediately took off his leather armor, tidied up his leather armor, and followed Naojiu quickly. Cheng Jie followed, but Naojiu was very fast, and he was far behind the two of them as old.

Xi County was originally a country of Xi. Although the sparrows were small, they were all complete. They passed the court and entered the thatched gate, passed through the extremely simple residence of the officials and the dynasty to the Lumen. Inside and outside the Lumen, the red-clothed sanitation stood firmly, and they protected the safety of the Chu King.

When Cheng Jie caught up, the guru shouted from the high hall inside the road: "Summon, General Xiang Yan, see him,"

"Please enter the court, but others should not enter!" The red sanitation straits railings across the road gate all retreated, and they were extremely majestic.
