Chengyang had already fallen into the hands of the Qin people.

The towns and towns around Chengyang did not avoid the disaster of war. The Qin people attacked very quickly. Because Nanyang County was very close to Chendu, the Qin army quickly attacked the Huaibei region from three directions. The strategic intention was very obvious. They wanted to force the King of Chu to move the capital and cut off the direct connection between Chu and South Korea to prevent Chu from participating in the war in the Three Jins again.

Jinyang City is a small town located near Chengyang City. There are less than 300 people in this town. They are all honest and dedicated fishermen. The officials here have long fled into Chengyang, leaving behind helpless Chu people. The Chu people have a very strong rural concept, from the King of Chu to the bottom, so they rarely choose to go into exile like the Koreans. Even if they die, they will die in their homeland.

But what is surprising is that the Chu people with strong local concepts are the country with the most capital migrations.

The people in the towns hid at home, shivering, and the food was hidden by them, hiding in places where the Qin people could not find them. They knew the reputation of the Qin people, and they didn't know what the Qin people would end up when they came here. Sometimes, the process of waiting for the disaster itself is even more scary and painful. They waited for three days, and finally, a Qin army came here.

The old man in the village doctor went out alone to greet the Qin people with a cane. Anyway, he had lived for a long time and was afraid of death. However, he felt that his own death was the most cost-effective than the young and middle-aged children in the village. When the old man in the Chu State saw this elite soldier, fear inevitably appeared on his face. In front of him, there were about 500 Qin troops. They had arranged the attack formation, and a general stood in front, looking at him with a fierce look.

The old man looked at them one by one, then leaned over to salute the general, and said, "I wonder what orders the general has?"

The general looked a little irritable and pointed at the old man and shouted something. The old man couldn't understand what they were saying at all. At this moment, another general came from the side. He walked to the irritable general just now and scolded him with a smile. Then he looked at the old man with a smile. He said in Chu language: "Brother-in-law, please don't be afraid. We are the army of Qin, and we will not hurt you."

The old man was relieved to find that he could communicate with this person. He hurriedly said, "The people here are all civilians from Chu, and the officials have fled here. If you need food, we can provide you with it. Please do not hurt the people here." The old man said very urgently and begged the general. General Qin smiled and said seriously: "Please don't be afraid."

"We won't hurt anyone, nor will we rob food. Do you have a local household registration here?"

The old man looked at the Qin people in surprise, and then he brought these Qin people to the courtyard of local officials. There were indeed many bamboo slips left here. It can be said that when the officials of Chu fled here, they did not take away any bamboo slips, but only took away their own wealth, but abandoned the wealth of Chu. The Qin general stepped forward and looked a few times. Although the simple household registration information of Chu did not satisfy him, it was better than not.

Then the old man helped to call out the Chu people hidden in the house. The old man knew that if they angered the Qin people, it would be useless no matter where they hid. The Qin people simply counted the number of people. During the whole process, the Qin people did not kill them or rob their food. After finishing these things, the Qin general stayed here for another night. The next day, the general called the old man over again.

"In the future, this place will be Jinyangli, belongs to Chengyang County... If you come to serve as Lizheng, the so-called Lizheng means to check the household registration..." The Qin generals seriously told him the grassroots system of Qin, and then called a young man and said, "He will serve as the pavilion chief here for the time being. The public security of the three surroundings is all subject to his jurisdiction. If there are bandits, you can find him, and he will not interfere with your spring planting matters..."

The old man just looked at the young man in surprise. He had no idea what the Qin people wanted to do. When he was young, he also fought with the Qin people. He knew the cruel nature of the Qin people, but the Qin people today... Why do they look so gentle? In order to ensure that the old man understood this, this Qin people's army stayed here for three days. During these three days, they not only did not hurt the local Chu people, but even lived in the wild and did not steal their residence.

The Chu people were shocked. After three days, even the young children here dared to go to the Qin people. The Qin soldiers were a little confused. The serious and rigorous soldiers looked at the Chu children running around them without saying a word. More Chu people still could not let go of their guard. They believed that the Qin people would do something with them sooner or later. When the old man was confused and recited part of the Qin rules, the general smiled and left the place.

He took away several carriages, but left behind the corresponding money.

Before leaving, he gave the old man a bundle of bamboo slips and bowed to him with a smile. He left and sent away these innocent Qin soldiers. The Chu people looked confused. What was going on? The old man picked up the bamboo slips. The bamboo slips were written in Chu Yu. The first article contained several large characters of Chu, "The Book of Horse Costume". The old man was stunned and continued to read.

"Everyone in the world loves their relatives, is close to their villagers, treats their people casually, and hates people from other countries...and I am not like this..."

In Chengyang County, the Qin people buried Chenggu who committed suicide due to defeat, appeased the local people, and even released the soldiers who were captured in the battle to defend the city. However, they took away slaves under the name of Chu nobles, and their retainers were taken away by the Qin people. It was said that they wanted to use these slaves to reward the Qin people who had made contributions. The Qin people were abnormal, which surprised the people of the fallen Chu people.

They did not kill prisoners or massacre the people of Chu. It can even be said that they were more kinder than the soldiers of Chu. Except for not having many smiles on their faces, the people of Chu for a while for a while, and the people of Chu quickly comforted the people of all places and stabilized a route for Qin to attack Chendu. During these days, a bamboo slip called "The Book of Horse Costume" became popular in various parts of Chu.

It is said that this was written by the Qin people, recording Ma Fujun's words and deeds. Unfortunately, the deletion and modification were somewhat serious, but it left behind many thoughts of being kind to others.

The Qin soldiers living in Chengyang were a little confused. They stood on the city. The soldiers looked into the distance, looked at the distance, and asked in a low voice: "There are longs. There are houses in the city, why do we still live outside?" Shichang looked at him without looking sideways and said seriously: "This is the order of General Meng Ao, and it is said that it is also the order of the king."

"But why did they issue such an order?"

Shi Chang was a little angry, and he said, "When the President of the Tun was reading the "Horse Costume Book" last night, didn't you listen carefully?"

The soldier was stunned, scratched his head, and said, "I heard it, but I didn't understand it. Besides, isn't this Ma Fujun our enemy?"

"You don't even read horse uniforms and books, and you still want to be a Qin official in the future? Keep the city with peace of mind!"

Shi Chang scolded him, and the two of them said nothing.

The soldier was stunned for a long time and said with a smile: "Actually... it's pretty good now. Today I saw a few young children from Chu playing, it was like seeing my son..."

This time when the Qin army set out to decimate Chu, Fan Ju issued a strange order to Meng Ao that he was not allowed to kill prisoners. The military merits of the prisoners were the same as those of the cut heads. He should appease the people in time along the way, and not massacre the Chu people for no reason. He also carried some deleted versions of the Chu version of the horse uniforms to promote them to the entire Chu State. In short, Fan Ju gave him great restrictions, and Meng Ao was also confused. However, he remembered the horse uniforms that were very popular in Qin State recently, and he also understood Fan Ju's thoughts.

The "Ma Fu Book" contains many ideas, and even military theories. Meng Ao was very excited to read it. However, the core of the book is still concentrated on the integration of the seven kingdoms, and how to end the war, which is the so-called theory of one king and the world. According to the idea of ​​Ma Fuzhu, when there is only one king in the world and this king can treat everyone as his own people, the world can stop the war.

Is Fan Ju trying to reduce the resistance of the Chu people through the content of the horse costume book?

No matter what Meng Ao thought, Fan Ju's orders were still implemented. Although he did not see any benefits, in the past, as long as it was a city that resisted, he could kill the residents here. In this way, the rear would be extremely stable and no one would dare to attack their food channels. Under the high-pressure policy of the Qin people, the people in the occupied areas were honest. But now, without implementing the high-pressure system, there have been situations in various places where the Qin people attacked the Qin people's food channels and sneaked into the Qin people's remaining soldiers.

The resistance of Chu did not decline due to the kindness of Qin.

The young children of Chu looked at these Qin soldiers happily, but their parents looked at the Qin people, but they were not grateful or kind-hearted, but a hidden hatred. Faced with these invaders, they could only hide their anger in their hearts and wait for the opportunity to revenge. The Qin State appointed local moral and famous people to serve as Lizheng and county magistrates waiting for the position of the ranks, and asked them to lead the people to do spring seeds and not be delayed because of the war.

The Chu people continued to work on their own arable land. The old men who were entrusted with important tasks by the Qin people stood by the arable land. They could not understand why they suddenly became officials of the Qin State after decades of fighting with the Qin people? The Qin people's orders were also delivered. In order to appease the people from all over the country and allow them to reduce their taxes this year, they only had to pay a very small amount of food this year, and the rest could be kept.

In addition, the Qin people executed the fleeing Chu nobles and distributed the arable land under their names to the local people to farm, allowing the people to buy and sell the land freely and no longer farm for the nobles. Qin has a very detailed local system and has strong mobilization capabilities. In a short period of time, detailed arrangements were made for the occupied areas, and even officials even arrived at their own positions in a very short period of time.

It can be seen that Fan Ju did study the horse costume books thoroughly. He gave the people in the occupied areas of Chu a better living environment than before. However, the people of Chu were still confused at this moment and could only continue to work.

Maybe...it's still a good year?

Similarly, at this moment, the people of Zhao State also began to farm. When the people of Zhao State learned that Ma Fujun was safe, they felt relieved and began to work on spring planting. The officials were no longer doing nothing like before. Even if they were members of the aristocratic group, they were trying their best to get the love of Ma Fujun. You must know that Zhao Bao was not the leader of the aristocratic group of Zhao State. Ma Fujun was their recognized head, and Zhao Kuo was also the Zhao clan of Ying... and was also the great nobleman with the largest fiefs in Zhao State.

Even Zhao Bao and Zhao Sheng combined the fiefs of the two people, which were not as much as Zhao Kuo...

Not only officials, but many local nobles also followed Zhao Kuo's actions and took out their plowing ox to help the people... However, the most important thing is not the support of these people, but some things of the people themselves. For example, the people of Zhao State are happy to work in the farmland and guessing the harvest this year. They no longer have to worry about whether their food will be taken away, nor do they have to worry about whether they will be summoned to the battlefield on the way to farm, because they now have horses to serve the king.

The arable land of Zhao State is full of laughter and joy. This year is probably a year of bumper harvest?

The timid people in South Korea stopped fleeing. Under the leadership of local officials, they returned to their hometowns and started farming. They were still very scared and did not know whether the Qin people would come back. However, they heard that the Ma Fujun of Zhao State defeated Bai Qi again, and the warlike Ma Fujun is now in Xinzheng. Ma Fujun can protect them, and Ma Fujun's army never bullies them.

At this moment, Zhao Kuo in the Han Palace looked at Xiang Xian in front of him, sitting in his position blankly, physically and mentally exhausted. Qin State happened to launch an attack in the spring season. I wonder how many people would starve to death because of this incident. After he came to this era, he never stopped for a moment. Could it be that he could not change anything after all? Everyone was wailing, how should he save them?

What did I... do?

Zhao Kuo's eyes were full of confusion.

"I don't know why, they spread a lot of words and deeds about you in Chu State... They did not kill prisoners, nor did they harm the local people. They even quickly arranged officials to divide the land and lead the people of Chu State to farm... Chunshen Jun asked me to ask you: Have you...he has become the Qin State?"

"Um?"

Zhao Kuo raised his head suddenly.
