In the seventh year of the Qin Dynasty, November.

Yanbei, an important military town on the east line of Qin State, Yuyang.

An important military meeting to determine the future development of the Qin State is being held. Participants in this military meeting include almost representatives of generals from all branches of the Qin State's east, south, west, and north. At the same time, the Chang'an court also sent Chief Shi Guan Yue to participate as a representative.

, who came to Yandi with him was Xin Zhui, his young mother-in-law whom Li Yuan had not seen for about half a year.

The arrival of Xin Zhui finally gave Li Yuan a gentle haven to release his body and mind despite his exhaustion. As the well-deserved leader of the Qin Kingdom, there were not many women around Li Yuan. Ying Yushu, Gu Yunniang, and Xin Zhui all

They have gone through a lot of ups and downs. Because of their differences in age, experience, and personality, these three women have had estrangements and conflicts in getting along. But now, they are more tolerant of each other.

During his last stay in Chang'an, because Ying Yushu believed Ying's so-called blood theory, the palace was almost in turmoil. Li Yuan was so frightened and angry that he also killed the old people in the palace who had been invited back.

After this round of purges, the number of maids serving in the inner palace of Chang'an has been greatly reduced.

Without those gossipy women, Ying Yushu, who had always been soft-spoken, had to focus more on teaching Li Ye. At the same time, her relationship with Gu Yunniang was gradually repaired. There was no big deal in the first place.

We are two sisters who are good friends in Xingyang. It would be nice to talk about some things.

This time Xin Zhui came to Yan Di, in addition to personal matters, he also had official business. Jixian, a county town in Yan Di, was working hard to become an important town in the north and a large city. After Xin Zhui's Chang'an City was widely praised,

Self-confidence is also at an all-time high. Nowadays, some cities in Guanzhong and Guandong are coming to the future "Mother of the Nation" for advice on design and structure. Of course, among them, there must be local governors who want to please Li Yuan.

The soldiers and horses control the trance.

The battlefield of men is right here between the sky and the earth.

Over the years, Li Yuan basically spent most of the year in various places, either directing wars or inspecting local areas, and spent very little time in Chang'an.

Leaning on Li Yuan's broad and strong chest, listening to the powerful heartbeats, Xin Zhui's heart also beat "bumping".

From a young girl to a mature woman waiting to be released.

In the past five years, Xin Zhui has been dreaming of happiness again and again. Looking forward to the beauty of her future life, she has gradually matured, and now she has waited.

Facts have proved that Li Yuan is a trustworthy man.

Although he is not the kind of person who is born with love and will not stay with only one person in his life, he is an upright hero and a man who can hold up a sky for the woman he loves.

It was rare to have the company of a beautiful woman, and Li Yuan was already content with that kind of ease and comfort, hugging the beautiful and pretty girl and sleeping until dawn. It's not that Li Yuan had never thought about it, but as soon as he thought of Hu Hai's tragic ending, he would

Woke up with a start.

Those wise emperors in history would also warn themselves at the beginning not to indulge in the bed, sensuality and female music, but in the end they all fell into the gentle land.

It's not easy for people to live a hard life.

But it is easy to get used to a luxurious life.

November 8th.

Li Yuan held an important military meeting in Yuyang County, Yanbei. In addition to the two major military groups guarding the northern border, those attending the meeting. Except for Wang Li and Han Xin, the chief generals of the Yanbei Army and the Jiuyuan Army, there were many people far south.

The generals or deputy generals of each army also participated.

Among them, Wang Shang and Jiang Yu sent their deputy generals because they each had important tasks. Li Zhongxiang, the commander-in-chief of the Westward Army in Hexi, followed Li Yuan and returned after attending this important military meeting.

After unifying the Central Plains, different voices have emerged within the Qin Army. At present, a new goal must be set for generals at all levels. By broadening the generals' horizons, breaking up small groups that only rely on interests and geographical divisions, and on a larger scale

Establish alliances between the various services within the organization to prevent the situation of complacency and lack of ambition.

Wherever there are people, there are factions.

As the Qin State grew stronger, small circles began to form among generals with different origins and backgrounds. The existence of such small circles gradually divided the generals into different factions. According to Yan Le, the "big inner circle"

According to the information of "General Manager", currently, the various factions within the Qin Army are mainly divided into three major factions.

One is the trusted generals who followed Li Yuan to conquer the country. These generals include Wang Shang, Luo Jia, Cao Xin, Li Zhongxiang, Bai Guangji and other backbones of the Qin army. They have the same origin and are closely related to Li Yuan.

Nowadays, most of them are important generals in the army guarding one side.

The second is the frontier army group, headed by Wang Li, including generals such as Su Jiao, Meng Hu, Yang Wengzi, etc. However, this group is currently seriously divided. Meng Hu was appointed as a Tingwei by Li Yuan, basically breaking away from the frontier army.

System, after Yang Wengzi fell out with Wang Li, he defected to Yan with his own soldiers, and is now the deputy general of Han Xin's army.

The third is the generals who defected one after another. This group is relatively scattered, including generals who defected like Han Xin, Jiang Yu, Li Zuoche, and Peng Yue, as well as those who surrendered from the Chu and Han Dynasties like Ji Bu, Zhong Limei, and Ding Gong.

General, compared with the relatively close relationship between the first two groups, there is no prominent leader within this faction. The relationship between generals is more dependent on personal feelings.

For example, the relationship between Han Xin and Zhong Limei, due to their personal friendship, makes their relationship closer than that of other generals, but this relationship cannot be divided simply based on factions. After all, it involves

On major matters related to Qin's state affairs, Li Yuan would not let personal friendships between generals affect the stability of the army.

Among the different factions of the Qin army, the cronies group is superior to the other two groups. No one would be stupid enough to compete with Li Yuan's direct lineage. But the other two factions are full of contradictions.

The two generals Wang Li and Han Xin have always been at odds with each other between the Border Army and the Yan Army. One side is a veteran of the Border Army who has experienced several changes and is still active on the front line. The other side is a new rising star who has been praised by history as a famous figure.

The discord among the generals brought instability to the northern border. For the purpose of common defense and fighting against the incoming Huns cavalry, the two major Qin army strength groups really needed more coordination.

Specifically, Jiuyuan's frontier army had an obvious advantage in cavalry due to the natural pastures of the Hetao. However, in terms of infantry, Wang Li's horsemen were lagging behind. Compared with Jiuyuan's army,

Compared with these Yandi athletes under Han Xin, they are more young and strong men selected from the Central Plains. They have a certain foundation in infantry fighting, but riding on horseback is still a very unfamiliar arm to the farming children.

In the future, the Qin Army's journey will go to farther places, and Li Yuan will not be able to personally conquer every time. Only with the cooperation and coordination of various departments of the Qin Army can it be possible to establish his own advantage against the Huns' horsemen with superb riding skills.

Abandoning either party and unconditionally supporting the other is a helpless choice, and Li Yuan hopes that through this strategic analysis meeting, the generals who only see this little benefit under their noses can look up.

At first glance, Qin's enemies are right in front of him. Now is not the time to sit back and relax.

On this day, generals of the Qin army from different places and different arms gathered together to listen to King Shenwu Li Yuan explain the geography and humanities of the world -.

Li Yuan's voice was steady and calm, as if he was telling mythical stories. He transformed into a history and geography teacher and taught a group of unknown students. This feeling made Li Yuan intoxicated, and his thoughts suddenly returned to his middle school days.

.

He started from the oval shape of the earth, the distribution of the seven continents, the origin of human beings, and then went on to the ups and downs of civilization in ancient Greece, Egypt, Mesopotamia, and the Indus River Basin. Each of these major events symbolizes the development process of mankind.

The generals of the Qin army who were listening were all stunned.

"How is it possible that we live on a round planet, then why don't we fall headfirst, and how big is this sphere?" This is what the audience who likes to explore physics and astronomy are thinking about.

"Seven continents, where are these places? Are they on the distant sea or at the western end of the Silk Road? How far are they from Qin? How long does it take to ride a horse or how long does it take to take a boat?" Aspiring traveler

The generals of the family are making silent calculations.

"Compared with our Great Qin, among those alien civilizations, which one is more powerful? The enemy's weapons, battering rams, boulder chariots, and heavy cavalry are nothing compared to the weapons and soldiers of the Qin army.

What's the difference?" Generals like Li Zhongxiang, who knew something about the West, could not wait to start thinking about how to face the unknown enemy tribe if he was allowed to lead the army on an expedition.

When everyone was attracted by the history, geography, and humanities of this planet, Li Yuan finally made some words of encouragement that he had planned for a long time.

"Generals, Qin's expansion has just begun. To the north of Yuyang, the Huns are eyeing them. On the Silk Road in the Western Regions, we need to face the Huns, Yuezhi people, and people from the west of the Tianshan Mountains.

The challenge of the foreign races is in the place south of the river, in the place where the Qin State’s southern expedition collapsed in the past. We must use cold swords and sharp arrows to let the barbarians in the mountains and deep ridges know that they dare to offend the majesty of the Qin State.

All must pay a price. Therefore, my generals, your eyes should not be on small gains, but should stand on a high place and look at the unfamiliar stars and sea in the distance. There is no reason to stop your steps, Da Qin

The flag is waiting for you to plant it in every corner of this planet——!" (To be continued...)
