Chapter 565
The dark night is condensed, and the water is icy cold.

Among the water pavilions, charcoal fires are burning in the bronze heaters, exuding heat.

The huge mansion occupies a vast area, with high and deep walls, almost like a small town, on the edge of the lake.Zhao Shuang was sealed off as Marquis of Guannei, and the mansion was also expanded. At this time, the entire small lake was about to be included in the scope of the mansion.

The ever-burning lamp brought from Qidi was burning in the house, and there were some halos, but it was not bright.

Between light and darkness, Zhao Shuang walked slowly step by step to the huge copper beast furnace placed in the center of the room, and stretched out his hand.

When the heat emitted from the hollowed-out bronze pattern touches the palm, it dispels the chill.

Zhao Shuang's mansion is vast, and there are more than 800 private soldiers guarding the mansion, not to mention the servants and maids in the mansion.These heavily armed soldiers guard the "small town" by the lake day and night.

Zhao Shuang's eyes were gloomy. At this time, the moon was rising, and the whole Xianyang fell into the tranquility of the night.

Outside the water pavilion, there is the sound of dripping water.Footsteps sounded on the thick floor of the veranda, and Bai Lu let out a soft voice.

"Lord!"

"come in!"

Different from the iron armor worn by ordinary soldiers, what Bailu wears is dragon silk armor, which is light and strong.

Bai Lu came to Zhao Shuang's side, bowed and said.

"My lord, let me ask, when will the smelting workshop be established in Wancheng?"

Qin State is adjusting the industrial layout of smelting, and Wancheng is one of the smelting centers.As the prefecture of Nanyang County, Wancheng has unique conditions.

The fields around Wancheng are fertile and can gather a large number of people. The road conditions are mature and the surrounding mineral resources are rich.

Although Wancheng is not as good as Handan, Jicheng, Wudu and other big cities, it is an important strategic support point after the Qin army left Wuguan.As a smelting center, Wancheng can transport ironware to Guanzhong, and it is also convenient to replenish military supplies for the Qin army.

Relocating the smelting workshop to Wancheng can reduce the cost of smelting.

"Not yet."

Zhao Shuang said a little, but there was no more to say.Bai Lu was beside her, but she didn't make a sound.

After a long time, Zhao Shuang smiled softly.

"Looking at the same thing from different eyes often has a different look. Lord Changping's forces have been operating Nanyang for a long time, so don't make too much noise in his territory for the time being."

Now Qin State has an army of one million.There are more than 20 elites in Guanzhong, and the generals such as Wang, Li, and Meng are prominent, commanding the most elite troops in Daqin.

In addition, although the Anxi Town Army and Taiyuan Army guarding the border rarely appear in the ears of the world, they cannot be ignored.

But in Nanyang, there is still a Chu family.Although with the weakening of the power of the Chu family, this army gradually faded out of the world's vision.

But Zhao Shuang knew that this army of 2 people still had a strong force.

At the beginning, the [-] troops of the Chu family were destroyed by Zhao, and the backbone of the Chu family in the Qin army was almost wiped out.Most of the rest, the Chu lineage of Huayang Palace, are now gathered under Zhao Shuang's command.

Over the years, Lord Changping has kept a low profile, but secretly cultivated generals, recruited people from Chu State, and gradually accumulated strength in Nanyang.Since the Queen Mother Xuan, the Chu family has taken root in Qin.For so many years, it has influenced every corner of Qin's army, politics, and harem.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even if it is declining now, it still has a strong foundation.

Zhao Shuang knew very well that even though Mr. Changping looked embarrassed now, it would be impossible to completely wipe out the Chu faction under normal circumstances.

Behind Mr. Changping, there are not only the troops of the Chu family, but also the most powerful peasant families in the rivers and lakes—the Yanmo Alliance and Chu State, and even the remnants of Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu and other countries.

Lord Changping skillfully took advantage of the fear and resentment of the six kingdoms towards Qin, united vertically and horizontally, and united many forces for his use.

To some extent, he also holds the general trend in his hands.To be an enemy is to be an enemy to half the world.

Moreover, because of the sensitive relationship between Zhao Shuang and Mr. Changping, he cannot take the initiative to attack.Otherwise, if he is a little careless, Zhao Shuang may be backlashed by him, so he can only be careful.

The warmth in the stove hit people, Zhao Shuang's face was flushed by the fire, and he muttered.

"hold on!"

Yingchuan County.

"Mr. Changping has already taken care of everything."

In the dark night, with the faint lights, Tian Guang said.

"Where are the people from the Tenglong Legion?"

"According to the order, let them enter Chen Di in groups of one hundred people and hide in the mountains."

"Where's the food?"

"The Xiang family has secretly sent people to hide a large amount of food in their location."

Mr. Changping nodded.

"Chen is still in the hands of Chu, but once Wei is defeated, Qin will attack Chen sooner or later. Let the people of the Tenglong Legion hide. Even if Chen's defenders are destroyed, they will not come out and wait for me. The command."

When Mr. Changping said this, Tian Guang was a little puzzled.

"But although they have weapons and food, they don't have horses. How should they raid Luyang?"

This point, Mr. Changping has already made plans.

"The land of Chu is vast, and the Qin army wants to destroy Chu and invade Shouying. Then Chen land will definitely be the transshipment center for the Qin army's food, grass and war horses. As long as Chen land is controlled in time, everything will be fine."

"My subordinates understand!"

"The most important thing about this game of chess is not in the land of Chu and Han, but in Nanyang."

Mr. Changping's face showed a lot of worry, but at the same time, there was an incomparable firmness in his eyes.

"Qin Wangzheng has great ambitions. He moved the blacksmiths from Wudu and other places of Yan State to Wancheng, smelting and manufacturing chariots and horses, just to prepare for attacking Chu State. Only by weakening the ability of the Qin army to attack from Wuguan to Chenxu , in order to maintain the balance between Qin and Chu in the future."

"So, even if it costs a huge price, Luyang has to be surrounded. Otherwise, our army in Nanyang County will not be able to use its hands and feet."

Qin Palace.

In the palace, the lights are brilliant, and a huge map hangs from the beams, on which the whole world is drawn.

King Qin stood in front of the map, looking at the map.Behind him stood Ge Nie.

"If the Great Qin wants to rule the world, the first step is to connect the roads of all countries in the world and remove unnecessary Great Walls and barriers. And do you know where the most critical thing is?"

King Qin's lofty aspirations were directly expressed in his words, with a sense of pride.

"I don't know."

King Qin smiled, drew his sword, and pointed to a place in the picture.

Seeing it, Gai Nie murmured.

"Aoshan?"

"That's right, it's Mount Ao. If you build a large warehouse here, it will be used as a transshipment center. You can go out from the big river in the east to connect Yanzhao; go down the chasm in the south to connect the Jianghuai River; pass through Hangu in the west and go to Guanzhong. In the four directions, except Bashu and Jiangling cannot be communicated by water system."

"So the king ordered people to smelt and make cars in Wancheng, just to connect Aoshan and connect Jianghan?"

When King Qin waved his hand, the whole world embraced him.

"This warehouse is [-]% and the world is peaceful. Grain can be sent west to Guanzhong. There are changes in Shandong, and my Qin army can also come out along the river to control the princes in the east!"
