Chapter 527

At the foot of Taishi Mountain, two horses were galloping along the mountain path.

On the back of the horse were two energetic young knights. The one behind was wearing a bright yellow brocade robe with a slightly calmer aura. The one in front was wearing a vermilion red brocade robe with a sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and a face as pink as a plump.

A huge golden eagle was also wearing a plaque above the head of the young man in red.

"Wow..." The red-robed knight who was riding his horse in front strangled the horse under his crotch, then stretched out his right arm, and the golden eagle hovering above his head fell down and stopped on it. The knight turned around and said to the yellow-robed knight, "Zihe, I haven't gone out hunting with you for a long time, and I don't know if your archery skills have improved?"

This yellow-robed knight was no one else, but was Xiang Zheng, the crown prince of Chu. Xiang Zheng had just given him the crown ceremony. The word Xiang Zhuang gave him was the character "he", which was taken from Zheng Tongrenhe. As for the other red-robed knight, he was Xiang Zheng's hard-core friend, Gao Lang, the eldest son of Duke of Wei, Gao Lang, and the name is Ziliang.

"My brother's archery skills have only improved slightly, but they are incomparable to you." With Gao Lang, Xiang Zheng was not as timid as he was with Xiang Zhuang at all. He had a strong aura in his words and deeds. After a pause, Xiang Zheng said, "Ziliang, I heard that in Dang County half a month ago, you personally led a group of bandits?"

"That's it." Gao Lang was young after all, and he was inevitably a little proud when talking about this. "I don't know that the bandits are really powerful. Although there are not many people, they are all old soldiers. Not only are they very skillful, but they are also extremely cunning. I took three hundred spirits and rode a full 800 miles to wipe out them from six counties and eight hundred miles before I wiped them out."

After saying that, Gao Lang shook his right arm and let the golden eagle fly into the air, saying, "It's thanks to Xiao Jin, otherwise he wouldn't be able to bite their whereabouts at all."

Xiang Zheng was fascinated by his ears and whispered: "Ziliang, you are so lucky to follow your father to fight often, but I don't know when my father will let me on the battlefield?"

Gao Lang said: "Zihe is soon."

Xiang Zhengdao: "How do you know?"

"My father said." Gao Lang narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiao Jin who was flying higher and higher in the air and was about to penetrate the clouds, and then said, "The King once told my father that in our Great Chu, a prince who had never been to the battlefield cannot succeed to the throne. Therefore, the King will definitely arrange for you to go to the battlefield, either this year or next year, and at the latest it will not exceed the next year."

Before he finished speaking, a fast horse was already chasing along the mountain road. On the back of the horse was a mysterious knight, who ran and shouted: "Crown Prince. The king is urgently ordered, the king is urgently ordered..."

Xiang Zheng, who was walking in a winding horse, stopped one after another.

After a moment, the Xuanyiwei chased after him and gasped, "Crown Prince, the king asked you to return to Luoyang quickly."

Xiang Zheng turned his head and exchanged glances with Gao Lang. He said, "I dare to ask, has something big happened in Luoyang?"

Xuanyiwei gasped and said, "The King of Qi Han He was the emperor and joined forces with Zong. Lianheng's two alliances have decided to join forces to attack. The king urgently summoned the prince back to the capital, just to attack Qi."

"I understand." Xiang Zheng waved his hand and took off the Xuanyi Guard.

"Haha." Gao Lang laughed to the sky and said excitedly. "What, let me talk? Zihe, the king probably wants to take you as the chief general this time and lead troops to attack Qi!"

Xiang Zheng said skeptically: "No, even if you really attack Qi, the chief general should be his second brother."

"Azhi?" Gao Lang waved his hand and said disapprovingly, "He is a reckless man, only a general, not a general, the king knows it in his heart. Zihe, just look at it, you must be the general of Qi!"

Xiang Zheng couldn't help but flushed on his face and said, "Alang, if your father really takes me as the leader and general to attack Qi, you must help me, and I will definitely recommend you as the deputy general to your father."

"That's more," Gao Lang laughed, "There is a general by the king, how can I be missing Gao Lang by the prince?"

"Alang, let's go back to Luoyang!" Then the two of them immediately pulled their horses and turned back one after another, galloping back along the rugged mountain path.

In the spring of 182 BC, King Han He of Qi became emperor, which immediately attracted the sympathy of the world. Wu She, the senior official of the Chu State, urgently sent Xianyang to join forces to join forces with the Lianheng and the Lianheng alliance to attack Qi.

In February of the spring, the two alliances and six countries sent a total of 150,000 troops to attack Qi.

The Chu army was led by the prince Xiang Zheng as the main general and Gao Lang as the deputy general, leading 30,000 troops to attack Xue County; the Han, Han and Zhao Kingdom sent 100,000 troops, Zhou Yafu, the chief commander of the Tongguan of the Han Dynasty, crossed the river from Nanpi and attacked Lixia; the Yan army and the Northern Diao Army combined 20,000 troops, crossed the frozen sea in winter, landed in Jiaodong, and attacked Mi County.

These three armies were like three sharp knives, heading straight into Linzi, the capital of Qi.

"The kingdom is hurting me, the kingdom is hurting me!" Han He roared and swept the arrows, inkstones, and pen holders on the gold case to the ground. He grabbed a brocade box and was about to throw it on the ground and found that it was the jade seal of the country. He quickly put it back on the table carefully, and then continued to point at Lou Jing and cursed, "The kingdom is hurting me this time."

Lou Jing said calmly: "Your Majesty, the so-called Allied Forces of the Six Nations are actually not worth worrying about."

"It's not enough to worry about it? The prime minister's tone!" Han He said furiously, "It's fine if the Chu army in Xue County and the Yan army in Jiaodong, but the armored soldiers are only 30,000 or 20,000. However, the Han, Han and Zhao army in the attacks of the historical Han Dynasty had a total of 100,000, and they were all elite soldiers who had been through many battles. What should I do? What should I do?"

Lou Jing calmly said: "Emperor, I recommend one person as a general, and you can retreat to the Han, Han and Zhao army."

"Oh?" Han He suddenly felt energetic when he heard this and asked anxiously, "Who can be the general?"

"Langye School Captain Shen Tu Jia." Lou Jing said solemnly, "General Shen Tu is familiar with strategies and skillful in archery and horses. If General Shen Tu leads his troops to fight, he will definitely defeat the enemy and make achievements and ensure the safety of Qi."

"Okay, the Prime Minister of the State immediately drafted an order for me." Han He said without hesitation, "I also appointed Shentu Jia as the general, led 30,000 troops to meet the enemy in Lixia." After thinking about it, Han He said again, "But in addition to the Han, Han and Zhao coalition forces in Lixia, there are also the Chu army in Xue County and the Yan army in Jiaodong, so what should I do if the Northern Diao Army?"

Lou Jing said: "These two groups of soldiers are small and few, so there is no need to worry about it. When they penetrate into Qi, General Shentu may have defeated the Han, Han, and Zhao coalition forces. In this way, they can return to Ge and destroy the Chu, Yan, and Beihe troops under the city of Linzi. Once the coalition forces of the six countries are destroyed, the world will return to Qi will be the general trend and will be irreversible."

Xiangzhuang walked into a ridge of land, reached out and spread the snow about a foot thick, and green seedlings appeared underneath.

The county magistrate of Dang County came forward and pointed to the vast snowy field ahead and said, "King, all winter wheat has been planted in this hundred acres. As long as there is no natural disaster, at least 200,000 stones of wheat can be harvested next summer! After harvesting wheat, you can sow beans and beans, and in autumn, you can harvest another crop of grain."

Xiangzhuang put the snow back and covered the green seedlings and asked: "Mr. Yang, how much arable land is there for Huang Funeng outside?"

The county magistrate of Dang County was named Yang, and his name was Wubing. He was the first Tai student. He was the chief of the court and served as the county magistrate, the county magistrate, the county magistrate and the county magistrate. The five counties in Wei were merged into the State of Chu. A large number of young and strong officials led by Yang Wubing were ordered to go to various counties and counties in Wei to serve as local chief officials. It has been more than two years since then.

Yang Wubing bowed and said respectfully: "Report to the king, Waihuang has more than 9,800 hectares of cultivated land, and most of them are of high-quality land. Unfortunately, after the war, the population was severely lost. Although some people fleeing famine have returned to their hometowns, many bandits have borrowed it, but the population is still too small, so there are less than 3,000 hectares of land to be reclaimed."

When Xiang Zhuang heard this, he changed his expression slightly and said, "What? Just Waihuang County has nearly ten thousand hectares of good land?"

Ten thousand hectares of land are one million mu. Even if it is calculated based on the yield of two stones per mu, there is also a harvest of two million stones. Waihuang is only a medium-sized county in Wei. How impressive would it be if the agricultural potential of the entire Wei land can be developed? It seems that Wei land can become the most densely populated area of ​​the Huaxia people.

Yang Wubing nodded and said with concern: "King, I don't know if I should say it?"

Xiang Zhuang waved his hand and said loudly: "I have something to say. I came to Dang County this time to understand the people's sentiment."

"Then I said frankly." Yang Wubing said, "The winter wheat in the counties of Dang County is growing quite well. If nothing unexpected happens, this summer will be a bumper harvest. However, it is only early February, and there are more than three months left before harvesting. Most of the people in the county have been cut off. If the government cannot release grain and provide relief, it will probably cause famine."

"I have arranged this matter." Xiang Zhuang waved his hand and interrupted Yang Wubing, "Mr. Yang will send someone to Ao Cang to pay grain."

"Ao Cang?" Yang Wubing shook his head and said, "My king, I went to Ao Cang to borrow grain half a month ago, but Ao Cang Ling said goodbye to me, there is no grain to borrow in the warehouse."

"That was half a month ago." Xiang Zhuang smiled, "Now Ao Cang already has food."

As Han He ascended the throne and became emperor, the attention of the two countries of Han and Zhao had been completely attracted by the battle to attack Qi, and the monitoring of the Chu border was greatly weakened, which gave the Xuanyiwei an opportunity to take advantage of it. Half a month ago, a "thief" looted the large granary set up by the Feng family near the salt pond. After robbing thousands of stones of grain, he hoarded the entire grain.

Of course this is just a trick. This group of "thieves" were actually pretended to be a deceased by the Xuanyiwei soldiers. The food they burned was only a few hundred stones. The 2.5 million stones of grain that had been hoarded in Yanchi Dacang had been secretly transported to a mountain village near Hangu Pass in the southern foot of the Taihang Mountains, and then secretly transported back to Ao Cang via water.

At this point, Xiang Zhuang's grand strategy of looting Guanzhong finally had a satisfactory result. Although this action failed to achieve all the strategic goals, the purpose of looting Guanzhong's wealth and robbing Han, Han, and Han countries was achieved, which greatly alleviated the grain shortage caused by the forced development of Wei land in Chu.
