Chapter 486
item land.

The Xiang family is the descendant of the Zhou family, with the surname Ji.At that time, after the state of Xiang was destroyed, the Xiang family entered Chu and became generals of Chu.

The state of Chu destroyed Lu, and the land of Xiang merged into the land of Chu.Then, because of the merits of the Xiang family, the Chu royal family sealed the Xiang family in Xiangdi.

The position of the item is very important.Back then, Bai Qi attacked Chu and captured Yingdu, bringing the Jianghan Plain, which had been operated by the Chu family for hundreds of years, into Qin's sphere of influence.The state of Chu then moved its capital, moved its headquarters from Yingdu to Chendi, and made Xiangdi its accompanying capital.

The royal family of Chu never forgot to regain Yingdu.However, with the decline and fall of the power of various countries, especially after the defeat of the Five Kingdoms' joint vertical attack on Qin, Chu realized that the decline and decline of the power of various countries was not conducive to Chu.

Due to the change in the attitudes of the two countries, Qin can easily send a large army down a long distance to encircle Chendi.

Military pressure caused Chu to move its capital again and again, and finally set its capital in Shoudi, a strategic town between the Jianghuai River and Huaihe River.

Today's Yingdu is no longer what it used to be.

In the state of Chu, the influence of nobles is quite huge.Back then, Wu Qi started the political reform in Chu State, and finally died because of the backlash from the power of the nobles.

Especially after the Chu royal family lost the old capital that had been in operation for hundreds of years, and moved their headquarters from the Jianghan Plain to the Jianghuai Plain, it was even more inseparable from the help of the great lord of Chu State.

As the strongest among them, the Xiang family held the most elite soldiers in their hands, even Li Yuan, who is now in control of Yingdu, could do nothing.

War horses were scarce in Chu State, and there were not many cavalry troops. The Xiang family controlled almost all the elite cavalry troops and resisted the Qin army at the border.

In Xiang Yan's mansion, the sound of war horses in the barracks can still be heard.

Not long ago, the Qin army joined forces with the Wei army to attack the state of Chu.Although it was unsuccessful, it undoubtedly made Xiang Yan's burden even heavier.

Xiang Yan knew that even though the Qin army failed to succeed, they would come again eventually.

When Fan Zeng came back from Qixing Terrace, he saw Xiang Yan holding a letter, and his face was full of joy.

"Why does the general have such a smile?"

"A letter came from the Prime Minister, saying that this boy Shaoyu was born with extraordinary talents, and his strength is no better than ordinary people. It seems that my Xiang family has a successor."

As the grandson of Xiang Yan, Xiang Shaoyu is undoubtedly the legitimate descendant of the Xiang family.

Xiang Yan glanced at Fan Zeng, saw that his expression was different, and asked.

"what happened?"

"I went to Qixingtai to visit Chu Nangong, and got a piece of news about Hanyang Lord from him."

Hearing this, Xiang Yan's complexion changed, and she put down the letter in her hand.He is not clear about the internal disputes in Qin.It's just that Xiang Yan didn't know much about fighting against the six countries because Lord Hanyang had never led troops outside.

"Han Yangjun's title is because it originated in the north of the Han River. His ancestors also cooperated with the Chu State before, and it can even be said that they have a close relationship. However, now that the world has changed drastically, he occupies a high position in the Qin State, but we But no trace of it was heard. Is there any news from the Seven Star Terrace?"

"The current Hanyang Lord is not just the leader of the Zhao Family Village back then, but a very formidable opponent. The Mo family scored two points, but he never let the Mo family giants fight in the rivers and lakes, causing a bloody storm, but infiltrated the power into the Chu land In this way, it seems that the momentum of the organ city is getting weaker and weaker, but the secret plan should not be underestimated."

Xiang Yan frowned.

"What does he want to do?"

"Using the power of the Mohists to penetrate east and west, and take the south of the Huai River as our domain."

Xiang Yan was furious when she heard this.

"My king of Chu is still in the south of the Huai River, so he doesn't take our country of Chu seriously."

After Xiang Yan's anger subsided, what she felt was a burst of vigilance.Could Lord Hanyang's move be related to Qin's foreign strategy?

"Although Qin's army was defeated by Zhao twice, according to the news from my spies in Qin, there is no chaos in Qin, but the income is abundant, and the people are safe and stable."

Having said that, Xiang Yan sighed.

"The state of Qin is indeed different. If these two defeats happened in Chu, the state would have already been in turmoil. Now that the king of Qin has the desire to annex the world, and the power to annex the world has just begun, the state of Chu may not be able to escape this situation." disaster."

Fan Zeng stroked his beard and said leisurely.

"Actually, it's not impossible."

Xiang Yan looked at Fan Zeng. As friends, they communicate with each other from the heart.But at this moment, Xiang Yan saluted, very respectful.

"Please sir teach me!"

"Changping-kun!"

"he?"

For Mr. Changping, the hearts of the nobles of the Chu Kingdom are actually very complicated.He is the eldest son of the former king and the son of Chu, but he was born in Qin, grew up in Qin, and now he is the prime minister of Qin.

In the eyes of quite a few nobles of the Chu state, he is a person who must be treated with caution and cannot be offended, but at the same time needs to keep a distance.

"But?"

Fan Zeng understood Xiang Yan's worry, and said with cupped hands.

"Before Fan Yuqi defeated Zhao, this person was not available; after Fan Yuqi defeated Zhao, this person was available."

As he spoke, Fan Zeng took two steps forward, came to Xiang Yan, and spoke softly.

"Right now, in the battle between Lord Changping and Lord Hanyang within the Qin State, there are not many bargaining chips left in his hands. According to rumors, he has a close relationship with the peasant family. Thinking about the changes in the relationship between the peasant family and the Mohist family today, it can be seen that Lord Changping is in the Qin, his heart may not be in Qin anymore. If we can get his help, with the farmer at our side, and with Yan Mo's momentum, we can completely suppress the organ city in the rivers and lakes."

Fan Zeng walked to the table, took out a map from the bamboo basket containing the map, spread it on the table, and planned carefully.

"General, please take a look. If you can cut off the land of Jiangdong, the connection between the Mo family and Dongyue, the power of the organ city will be greatly reduced, and then cut off the passage between Yunmeng and Chu, then the Mo family will only be left with an empty city. There is something to be done. And all of this is inseparable from the help of the farmers.”

It is impossible for the Chu army to deal with the armies of other countries at the border, and it is impossible to spare a large amount of military power to deal with the Mohists.The local garrisons maintaining law and order and the private soldiers of various lords may not be the opponents of the Mohist rangers, and must borrow the power of the peasants.

Xiang Yan nodded, and then felt a little embarrassed.

"But it's inconvenient for members of the Xiang family to come forward about this matter."

After all, Lord Changping has a special status, and the Xiang family holds a heavy army. If they contact him in secret, Xiang Yan will not be able to explain which side of the Chu royal family, the Chu king and the son of the two factions are.

A general of the Chu State who holds a heavy army in his hand secretly contacts the son of the Chu State who is the prime minister of the Qin State.If it is known to others, and then let someone with a heart to process it, I am afraid that it will be a name of treachery, and it will not be able to escape.

"I've already thought of a suitable candidate."

However, before Fan Zeng came here, he had already planned everything.

"Above the rivers and lakes, if we want to use the power of the peasant family to suppress the forces of the Mohists and Lord Hanyang, we must borrow someone who is trustworthy, has the same interests as us, has a firm belief in anti-Qin, and can meet Lord Changping and let him trust him. people."

"who is it?"

"Yandan!"
