Chapter 138 Worship the First Emperor's Mausoleum
Wu She's fierce opposition ultimately failed to stop Xiang Zhuang.
In the afternoon of the same day, Xiang Zhuang summoned two generals, Xiao Kai and Tian Heng.
When Xiao Kai heard that Xiang Zhuang was going to worship the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, he was surprised at first, and then he returned to peace. In the minds of Xiao Kai and Gao Chu, Xiang Zhuang was the heaven and the god of the Chu army, and his status was similar to that of Xiang Yu in the minds of Huan Chu, Ji Bu and others. Therefore, as long as it was Xiang Zhuang's decision, they would support him unconditionally.
Tian Heng's first reaction was shock. He really didn't expect Xiangzhuang to worship the Mausoleum of the First Emperor.
In fact, since the Great Qin Empire did not rule Guandong for a long time, the image of the Qin Empire and Qin Shihuang in the Kanto tribes and the people was very negative. In Tian Heng's view, Xiang Zhuang's move may not win the favor of the old Qin tribes, but it is very likely to arouse the disgust of the six Kanto tribes!
Although he was shocked, Tian Heng left without saying anything.
In fact, Tian Heng did not understand Xiang Zhuang's real intention of this move.
As a time traveler, Xiang Zhuang knew better than anyone else about the superiority of Qin's laws and the huge energy of the farming and war system!
What does Qin rely on to swallow the six countries in a corner? It depends on a complete legal system and a farming and war system that can maximize the effectiveness of the state machinery!
Once the Chu State is revived, Xiangzhuang will definitely vigorously promote the Qin State's laws and farming and war system. Therefore, it is extremely necessary to take advantage of this time to worship the Mausoleum of the First Emperor and absorb the remaining tribes of the Qin Dynasty to join the Chu army.
Because, only the Qin tribe is the backbone of supporting Qin's laws and farming and war system!
However, most of the Kanto family members opposed the laws of Qin and hated Qin's farming and war system!
In other words, if Xiang Zhuang did not take advantage of this time to recruit a large number of talents who advocated the farming and war system from Guanzhong, he would not be able to start even if he wanted to promote the farming and war system in the future, because he did not have talents familiar with Qin and France. Wei Liao alone would not do it. Moreover, the old guy is not young anymore and he may travel to the West at any time.
In addition, after the restoration of the Chu State, if the Qin tribe could occupy half of the high position, Xiang Zhuang would basically not face any pressure when implementing the Qin rules and farming and war system in the future. At that time, the Qin tribe and the Guandong tribe would fight, and he would just be a high-ranking referee with a transcendent status.
Therefore, from this aspect, worshiping the Mausoleum of the First Emperor is definitely more beneficial than disadvantages!
The next day, Xiangzhuang and Wei Liao lit up five hundred elite soldiers to the foot of Li Mountain. The First Emperor's Mausoleum was built at the foot of Li Mountain. The imperial tomb originally had two inner and outer walls. However, when Xiang Yu entered the pass, he demolished all the inner and outer walls and the bedrooms built on the underground palace of the imperial tomb. After Liu Bang decided on the Three Qins, he did not send anyone to repair them. Now it is a decay.
Jin Xiang led his men to open a passage from the artemisia and reach the dilapidated sacrificial hall.
Then Jin Xiang brought people to offer the three prepared animals. Xiang Zhuang first bathed in fragrant soup, then smoked his body with cigarettes, then put on his gorgeous clothes and crowns. Under the leadership of Wei Liao, everything was worshipped in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor in a magnificent place in accordance with the etiquette of Qin. By the time of the ceremony, it was already dark, and the sacrifice took several hours!
Such a huge momentum, coupled with the fact that the Chu army did not have martial law, naturally spread quickly.
That night, hundreds of fast horses, donkeys, and ox carts rushed from Xianyang, Gaoling, Zhiyang and Liyi to the counties in the capital, as well as Longxi, Beidi, Shangjun and Hanzhong counties. As these fast horses, donkeys and ox carts scattered, the news that Xiang Zhuang, the General of the Great Chu, solemn worshipped the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, quickly spread in Guanzhong.
#############
There is a fort twenty miles south of Zheng County, where Baili clans gathered and lived.
This Baili clan is the direct descendant of Baili Xi, a wise minister of Qin Mugong. It was passed down to this generation. There were three brothers and sisters, the eldest brother Baili Xian, who was well-read in poetry and books, had strategies, and his second brother Baili Mao, who was good at riding and shooting, and had a strong martial arts skills. His younger sister Baili Yishui, who was rich in snow and faced by flowers, was also skilled in bows and horses, and was free and easy by nature.
There is another Yu's surname Yujuwu Fort, which is said to be a descendant of Yuji, a famous general in the State of Chu.
The Yu family was extremely poor, and his father and grandfather died early, leaving only one Ding Mingyuan, who was only twenty years old and depended on his mother for life.
Yuyuan is tall and has long arms, and has extraordinary strength. He is especially good at shooting. The willow leaves in the wind can actually hit nine out of ten shots. Although it is not as good as the ancestor Yang Youji's ten shots, it can be called a sharp shot.
That morning, Bailimao came to the door again and wanted to compete with Yuyuan for archery skills.
When he arrived at the school ground, he set up a target outside a hundred steps, and shot ten arrows from the Yuan Dynasty. The arrow hit the red heart, which immediately caused a thrill of a group of half-aged children around the school ground. Baili Mao then fired ten arrows in a row, but only hit six arrows. Four arrows deviated from the bull's eye. The half-aged children around began to make excuses and mocked Baili Mao for being inferior to others.
Baili Mao couldn't hold back his face and said provocatively: "Zichuan, how about fighting right away?"
Yuyuan was also a young man's character and said proudly: "Okay, then let's fight for it immediately, are you still afraid that you won't succeed?"
At that moment, the two of them were wearing their own clothes, and half a child brought the mount. They turned over the horse, each of them used a big halberd, and began to fight like a lantern. After more than fifty rounds, they did not decide the winner. Baili Mao gradually became a little impatient. Yuyuan also started to fight. Without leaving any room for action, he actually started to fight to the death.
The two of them became more and more fierce as they fought. When they were about to suffer casualties, two sharp arrows suddenly shot from the slant.
Yuyuan and Bailimao were both surprised and dodged quickly. When they turned their heads to look, they saw a horse flying like a flying horse. The knight was white-clothed, but it was a little girl. The little girl had big eyes and smiled before she could speak, looking particularly charming and beautiful. At this moment, the little girl was barely holding her bow. It was obvious that the two arrows were shot by her just now.
"Little sister, are you crazy?" Baili Mao said angrily, "Dare you dare to plot against your second brother?"
"I think you're crazy, why are you so angry?" The little girl who was speeding towards her was Baili Yishui. Her charming big eyes drew out Baili Shirou and said, "Brother, you're going back." After that, Baili Yishui's beautiful eyes turned to Yuzumi again and said, "Zichuan, Brother, let you go together."
Bailimao muttered, turned his horse and left.
Yuyuan bowed to Baili Yishui, and then rode his horse to follow him.
Watching Baili Mao, Yuyuan's figure left, Baili Yishui sighed lightly, shook her head again, wondering when will the second brother and Zichuan become more steady?
#############
The largest courtyard in the center of the fort is Baili Courtyard.
When Baili Mao, Yuyuan's expression was as if he tiptoed into the hall, a white-clothed man in his early thirties was waving his feather fan, looking at the Guanzhong map on the screen in a daze.
This white-clothed scholar is naturally Bailixian, the eldest brother of Baili.
Hearing the footsteps, Bailixian turned around and turned around and said, "Second brother, Zichuan, are you here?"
Baili Mao and Yuyuan quickly bowed to Bailixian. The white-clothed Shishi sterned his hands and signaled them to enter the table. He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and then said to Baili Mao: "Second brother, you have already delivered the crown ceremony last year and can be regarded as a member of the Baili clan. Now there is a major event that concerns the future of Baili clan. You can also tell me what you think."
Baili Mao hurriedly said, "No matter what, as long as the elder brother agrees, I will definitely agree."
"Hey, this is different." Bailixian waved his hand, "You must express your opinion this time."
Bailimao scratched his head and said, "Well, brother, please tell me, brother, listen."
Bailixian nodded and said, "Just just now, Zuo Bo sent back news from Liyi that the army of Xiang Zhuang, the general of Chu, had occupied Xianyang, and just yesterday, Xiang Zhuang solemnly worshiped the Mausoleum of the First Emperor." After saying this, Bailixian suddenly asked, "Second brother, and Zichuan, do you know what this means?"
Baili Mao, Yuyuan shook his head without thinking when he heard this.
A pretty shadow flashed outside the hall, Baili Yishui walked in pretty and said with a crisp voice: "Brother, this Xiangzhuang is probably showing goodwill to us, the old Qin clans. I hope we can help him gain a foothold in Guanzhong."
Baili Xian nodded and said, "Xiang Zhuang is showing us good deeds, but even with the help of us, the Qin tribe, the Chu army may not be able to gain a foothold in Guanzhong. The Chu army Qiao Zhuang Han army looted Guanzhong and deliberately corrupted the reputation of the Han army and the image of Liu Bang. This is just a trivial skill and does not pose a real threat to Liu Bang's foundation."
Bailiyi Waterway: "So, how can we pose a threat to Liu Bang's foundation?"
Baili Xian said: "Destroy Liu Bang's 200,000 troops, or kill all the millions of people in Guanzhong!"
"That night, the Chu army passed by Zheng County was only 20,000 at most. It would be impossible to destroy Liu Bang's 200,000 troops." Baili Yishui said this, and his beautiful face turned pale in an instant, and he said with a trembling voice, "Brother, is this Xiangzhuang even more cruel than Xiang Yu? He wouldn't really order all the people in Guanzhong, right?"
Bailixian shook his head and said, "If this is the case, Xiang Zhuang would not go to worship the Mausoleum of the First Emperor."
After saying this, Baili Xian said again: "Xiang Zhuang ignored the hatred of Qin and Chu and openly worshiped the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, which shows that his view of the Great Qin is completely different from that of the thug Xiang Yu. If I was not wrong, Xiang Zhuang should highly respect the laws and farming and war system of our Great Qin. Therefore, he urgently hopes to get the support of our old Qin clans!"
Mi Mao said: "Brother, just give me some good words. Should we support this Xiangzhuang?"
"The second brother is just anxious." Bailixian shook the feather fan in his hand and smiled, "Isn't this just discussing with you?"
"What else can I discuss about this?" Bailimao spread his hands and said loudly, "My father and mother died early. My younger sister and I were both raised by the elder brother. Mencius said, "If you are the elder brother, if you say something, how can I not follow the truth?" After that, Bailimao said to Bailiyishui again, "Little sister, do you think so?"
Baili Yishui rolled his eyes to Bailimao, but did not answer him.
Bailixian smiled slightly and said, "Second brother, it's rare that you can remember Mencius's words. Well, for Baili's long-term plan, my brother is a good idea this time. Let's go to Xiangzhuang and Chu army and leave in the afternoon!" After that, Bailixian said to Yuyuan again, "Zichuan, if you want to go with us, go and bring your mother."
