Tang Bing and other Sihao left in despair.

Without the support of their disciples and the support of the big families behind their disciples, they are no different from other old people who are too old to support themselves. And their so-called reputation is like a piece of cake in the face of the strict and orderly laws of the Qin State.

Like a bubble that is about to burst, it cannot withstand the slightest blow.

During the more than ten days that Li Yuan stayed at Shangshan Road, what he was waiting for was the opportunity for Si Hao to gather all the disciples they could mobilize.

These young people with knowledge are the driving force for Qin's future development.

The Qin army's action on Shangshan Road was very swift and decisive. Without Si Hao's roadblock demonstration, Li Yuan would not have been able to catch all the educated students who were scattered everywhere and living in seclusion in unknown valleys.

These young people who lack social experience and education will be forcibly escorted to the most difficult northwest border counties in Qin, where they will undergo the dual test of nature and reality.

After passing Shangshan Road, the water volume of Luoshui was large enough for large ships, so Li Yuan abandoned his car and boarded the ship, heading towards Luoyang, the important city of Sanchuan County on the river.

After solving the trouble in Sihao, Li Yuan believed that no more short-sighted people would jump out, and after those students who followed the trouble were escorted to Hexi, they were the pawns and hostages of the Qin State to restrain the Guandong clan, even with the

Families related to the six royal families also dare not act rashly.

A family.

After all, it only relies on blood to continue. In the same era, there will not be many outstanding children that can be cultivated. Li Yuan's killing move stunned those who were hiding in the dark and trying to take a good look.

If Qin accepts Si Hao's proposal, Qin's national policy and the foundation of governing the country by law will be shaken. Next, hundreds of schools of thought will appear, Qin will fall apart, and officials with different political views will attack and undermine each other. Such a situation

Undoubtedly, this is what those who do not want the unification of Qin want to see the most.

If the Qin State kills Si Hao and other disciples with bloody methods, many families who have lost their outstanding children will be resentful of the Qin State. In this way, the Qin State's rule in Guandong will become frivolous. Once an opportunity arises, the Qin State will

, the flames of resistance against the violent Qin may burn again.

However, neither of these situations has happened now.

The people who had pinned their hopes on Sihao to cause trouble turned around and discovered that the result of this farce was that the Qin State had taken advantage of it, and the large number of hostages also made the dissatisfied people take action.

——.

On Luoshui River.

The northbound fleet is getting farther and farther away from Shangshan.

The cries of grief and indignation of Tang Bing, Zhou Shu and other old men are no longer listened to. After losing the support of money and silk, the few followers who do not follow will gradually disperse. What awaits them is the lonely Lin Quan who died in the mountains.

the ending within.

The tall Meng Chong was sitting in the ship.

A small council meeting on the changes in the Wei state was going on. Yan Le, Lu Jia, and Li Zhongxiang were accompanying him. On the table in front of Li Yuan was the "Land for Peace" sent by King Wei Bao sent by Yong Chi as an envoy.

"conditions for peace talks.

This piece of silk from Yong Chi was actually delivered to Li Yuan five days ago. As for the current crisis in Wei, Li Yuan had already received accurate information from Yan Le's Military Intelligence Department.

"Marquis Wu, the Chu army has already moved towards the Chenggao line. With the current strength of the Wei army, I am afraid that it will not be able to hold on for three days. According to secret reports, Wei Bao is already collecting money and silk, and it is very likely that he has abandoned the main beam and gone to

Xingyang and fled——." Yan Le, as the head of the Military Intelligence Department, had collected intelligence about the Chu State in detail. At this time, seeing Li Yuan silent for a long time, he admonished.

"Zhongxiang, tell me, what will happen to the situation in Wei next?" Li Yuan turned to Li Zhongxiang and asked.

"Marquis Wu, our army will be stationed in the Xingyang area. If Wei Bao flees to the west, and if our army does not accept him, we will sit back and watch the Chu army annex Wei. If he is included, Qin and Chu will have the momentum to start a war." Li Zhongxiang followed.

Said: "Once Qin and Chu start a war, the war will spread. From Jiujiang County on the bank of the river to Yan County in the north, any place will become a battlefield. Compared with Chu State, the place we need to defend is too vast. In case of an emergency,

Let the Chu army go deep into the hinterland of Guandong——."

"General Li is worried that the Chu army will attack our counties in Hedong and Handan. Don't worry, Marquis Wu has already expected it. In Luoyang City, Peng Yue, the thief of Juyeze, has decided to defect to our country. When the time comes, Peng Yue will contain the Chu army's rear.

Lu, if Xiang Yu wants to attack Da Qin, he must consider whether Pengcheng is safe." Yan Le sneered.

The Juyeze area is close to the junction of the three kingdoms of Wei, Qin and Chu. There are lakes and swamps formed by the overflow of rivers for more than a hundred miles, which are natural hiding places for bandits. Although Peng Yue's momentum is not greater than that of Yingbu, he can conquer Chu

The fact that he was not wiped out despite several encirclement and suppression campaigns by the army shows that Peng Yue is unusual.

"Send a message to General Jiang in Luoyang. I want to meet Peng Yue at the county government office." Li Yuan listened to Yan Le and Li Zhongxiang's argument while gently tapping the edge of the case. He took the critical situation of Wei as a matter of course.

Obviously, Li Yuan was not interested in Wei Bao's suggestion of "land for peace". Wei was small and weak, and during the period of harmony between Qin and Chu, it could survive as a neutral country.

But if Qin and Chu turn against each other, Wei will definitely bear the brunt of the attack. This is a necessary result for a small country, and what Qin needs to do now is to obtain the maximum benefit from this drastic change.

After the Chu State reoccupied Jiangdong, its territory expanded a lot, but the number of Chu troops did not increase much. After Liu Bang's massive army tactics failed, Xiang Yu obviously learned his lesson and no longer followed this path of military violence.

According to the spies of the Military Intelligence Department, the total strength of the Chu State is about 70,000. Excluding the county soldiers guarding the place, the number of mobile troops available is about 50,000. Among them: Zhong Limei's Changshan Army has about 10,000 people;

There are about 3,000 cavalry troops and 10,000 infantry troops affiliated to Xiang Ji. In addition, Xiang Zhuang, Yu Ziqi, Xiang Han and other generals each have thousands of troops. The real strength of the Chu army is still higher than that of Qin.

Not even close.

However, the advantage of the Chu State is that only a few thousand troops can be left behind in the Jiangdong area, and the main force of the Chu army can be concentrated in Chenjun, Dangjun, Qilu and other places at once.

In comparison, the Qin State's territory is too vast. On the current border between Qin and Chu, except for Yan in the north, where there are more than 50,000 new soldiers of Han Xin's army, there is only the Hulao line of Sanchuan County in the front, with General Jiang Yudong on the east line.

The Qin Army has about 20,000 people. In other directions such as Handan County, the Qin Army does not have many troops to guard except the county soldiers guarding the city and the young and strong men who can be recruited temporarily.

In the suffocating atmosphere of the coming war, the life and death of Wei Bao, a superficial prince, only made people sigh that the world is unstable and that former allies would kill each other.
