During the day, Lu Xiaoan, who still looks like a beautiful son of the Warring States in the eyes of everyone, quietly put down the family letter sent by his mother. He thought hard about what might happen during the Chinese New Year, and finally... After a shock, he decided to give up his imagination and wait. Talk about it tomorrow.

True, he's now full of thoughts of escaping for the day, but it's a shame someone isn't letting him escape.

Zhao Zheng, who came here on the moon, couldn't help but pause when he saw his brother lying on the table in the courtyard with a posture of basking in the moon, and then leaned over, completely blocking the moonlight.

Now Zhao Xiaozheng is no longer the little Douding of the past. The full-year-old boy has inherited the outstanding height of the Qin people. After the voice change period, the deep voice is even more masculine. Although he is influenced by his elder brother and has no beard. He has not been crowned, but Zhao Zheng is already an adult when he goes out.

Lu An took a deep breath, forced himself up and sat up, "Zheng'er?"

"My mother sent me a letter." Zhao Zheng sat next to him, and said with some embarrassment, "Neither my mother nor my father can help me with this matter."

Hearing this, Lu An lowered his eyelids.

It could be seen that he was a little bit disappointed, but within a few breaths the young man recovered his emotions. He smiled at Zhao Zhengyi and said, "It's a small matter at home. It's presumptuous to bother the king and queen for help. I'll do it later." Write to the queen..."

"Brother." Zhao Zheng interrupted him, he was a little puzzled: "Why are you in such a hurry."

"Ok?"

"By my brother's habit, I should have taken it slowly, why is it so hasty this time?"

Lu An was a little surprised when he heard this. This question... He really didn't think Zhao Zheng would ask.After Zanmei thought for a while, Lu An replied with some hesitation: "Because at that time, senior brother said that we would do whatever we want after we go back. For some reason, I felt that tone was very uncomfortable."

He tried hard to find a metaphor that could be explained: "If you want to say it, it is similar to the feeling that a man said that he would go back to his hometown to get married after the war, and then the person who said so often couldn't go back. "

Zhao Zheng was speechless for a moment, he glanced at his elder brother, and imitated his appearance and stretched his legs quite willfully, "Brother doesn't just want to be with him because he likes senior brother so much that he can't control it. Together?"

"!!!!" Lu An was shocked, this, how did my brother say such shameless words with a blank face! !Who taught my pure brother badly? !

Zhao Zheng still had no expression on his face. Seeing Lu An's startled expression, he turned his head slightly, looking like: "Isn't it right?" "Brother, the song you play during the day is thinking of your senior brother, right?"

how do you know?Obviously no one else heard it!

Lu An was even more shocked. Looking back, his younger brother has always been quite artistic. When he was still in Yewang City, his younger brother could still shake his head and sway his legs to eat a little more when he heard some outstanding singers singing.

But as a mature adult, he would not admit that he was a little worried about his boyfriend's situation.

Lu An rubbed his nose and endured the embarrassment to explain to his younger brother: "I have known each other for several years, and there have been many differences. It's not that I don't want to, but...well, we all know that we are working hard, so it doesn't matter. , this time it was because I felt a little unknown at that moment, so I was a little impatient, it wasn't..."

It's not that!Ouch, how did my younger brother say such nasty words with such a deadpan face! —he let out a silent cry for the second time.

Although lying to his younger brother is not in line with his educational philosophy, it is no problem to change the topic. This is also the language art of adults!

"That's right." Zhao Zheng turned his head. In this era when ghosts and yin and yang are common, his elder brother's words are very convincing. Not to mention feeling something ominous, it is said that in Chu, where the theory of ghosts and ghosts is the most prosperous In China, when an official goes out and sees a dead mouse outside the door, he will feel ominous and immediately turn around and go home for divination.

Although his attitude was calm, for some reason, Lu An saw a bit of frustration. He was a little confused and even a little bit lost. His younger brother has grown up, and he is not as caring as before. In the past, his younger brother would hug someone's thigh and act like a baby. , yes, just like the fat bear hanging on his lap now.

Lu An rubbed the head of the black and white bear that was sticky and swayed while hugging his thigh, and saw his younger brother showing a look of embarrassment, "Zheng'er didn't, he never hugged his thigh..."

Okay, okay, you are His Royal Highness, if you say no, there is no.Lu An showed a indulgent smile, which successfully made Zhao Zheng feel uncomfortable. He snorted, glared at the rather embarrassing black and white bear, and said very dissatisfied, "Brother, when will this thing be available?" Grow up? Are you still in childhood?"

After raising it for so long, and eating so much, why does it seem that it is not big enough to ride? Can this really be used as a mount?Zhao Zheng frowned slightly, he stretched out his foot to poke the fat bear that was rubbing against his brother's leg, the black and white bear was very clever and hugged its master's foot, then rolled towards him with a slap Lie down on your back, the little fat on your stomach still makes a small wave in the air, you can tell from this appearance that you have been fed very well.

Lu An didn't know what he was thinking, he just thought that his younger brother wanted to see the big bear give birth to a cub, he looked down at the bear with short hands, short legs and exposed belly, who wanted to be touched, couldn't help but reached out and rubbed it "probably It will take seven or eight years, Zheng Er, if you can't wait, I'll send someone to send a few more big bears?"

"Seven or eight years..." Although Zhao Zheng was a little surprised at the bear's growth time, he waved his hand very proudly and said that he could wait at this age, at worst, he would use a horse to deal with it first.

Although I don't understand what it has to do with horses, it's good to be able to change the topic. It's really embarrassing to talk about feelings with my brother!

The two brothers who talked about the chicken and the duck looked at each other and smiled. The two were bathed in the moonlight and rubbed the black and white bear. In the silence without outsiders disturbing, Zhao Zheng sighed unconsciously, and smiled lightly when he met his elder brother's concerned gaze. , and finally explained the real intention of coming: "Brother, the government is already eighteen."

Seeing a little confusion on Lu An's face, as if he didn't understand what he meant, Zhao Zheng said the whole thing, "I will ask my mother to hire Princess Chu for me this time when I go back this time."

"Brother, you don't need to have such an expression. This is what I asked for, not the wish of my parents." He smiled casually: "The queen mother has indeed said many times to marry a princess of the Chu family for me, but before that, both my father and my mother declined."

"There will be a battle between Qin and Chu. This princess... is a strategy to slow down the army, and a means for Qin to stabilize Chu." Zhao Zheng picked up the bamboo bear rolling around on the ground and hugged it in his arms. Removed the grass clippings from the bear cubs one by one from the long fur and sprinkled them on the ground, "She will be my wife in the future, but before that, she is the princess of Chu State first, I can respect her, but Could never really trust her."

"Even our children..."

After a pause, he shook his head, and said again: "I know all of this. I originally wanted to ask brother what it means to really like someone, but now I think it's better not to know."

"Brother, when I was a child, I used to say the word 'willing' when I was teaching politics and literacy." Zhao Zheng turned his face slightly, half of his face was exposed in the moonlight, smiling, and the other half of his face was hidden in the shadows. Lu An I didn't light the lamp before, so I couldn't see my brother's true mood clearly.He adjusted his posture, stretched out his hand and shook Zhao Zheng's warm hand.

"The word willing is like water and fire, and like heaven and earth. One advances and the other retreats, and I advance and the other retreats." Zhao Zheng said in a very soft tone, and he squeezed his brother's cold hand: "The big give is big, and the small give is small." Yes, I can't bear to part with it. Zheng'er remembers it."

"Zheng'er has something more he wants, and in order to achieve that goal, he has something to give up."

"But it is not necessary to give up." Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lu An. His elder brother frowned tightly, and the relaxed posture had already dispersed. The prefect of the county is also the leader of the new generation of Qin.

What he said now was even a little merciless: "You can have more choices, and you can have a better way..."

"But I'm running out of time." Zhao Zheng said softly, which interrupted Lu An's next words. The two of them were very close, and Lu An rested in a secluded place. , There is no place to hide everywhere, which ensures that Zhao Zheng's words will not fall into the ears of a third person.

Seeing Lu An's astonished expression, he shook his head in surprise, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that Mister would even hide it from brother."

"What does it mean that you don't have time?" Lu An felt that his throat was dry, and he couldn't find anything to say for a while, so he could only forcefully pull his vocal cords to ask this question, but for some reason, he seemed to be able to vaguely know Zhao Zhenghui's answer He what.He was a little resistant to hearing the answers, he had a hunch he didn't want to hear those.

That was an extremely bad premonition.

However, Zhao Zheng still spoke.

"Father's health has not been very good these past few years." Zhao Zheng looked at him, "Although it was said to be a minor illness by accident, in fact, I have secretly sought good doctors several times. Good doctors always say to rest, but There is no time for father to be quiet."

"Only when I grow strong enough to make my father feel at ease, then he will take a rest."

"I know what brother means, my marriage is difficult, but I can marry the daughter of the meritorious Qin State, or the daughter of the people's family. The consequences of both are simpler than marrying the daughter of the Six Kingdoms. At least these people They are women from Qin State, they will not hate Qin State."

"And as long as I say it, my parents will definitely agree."

"But marrying a girl from the Six Kingdoms is the shortest and easiest way. I know my elder brother will persuade me not to take shortcuts, but this time, Zheng'er has to go."

"If I'm not mistaken, after taking down the enclave of Dongjun, the six countries will soon jointly attack Qin, right?"

"..."

Seeing that his elder brother did not answer, Zhao Zheng showed a smile and said confidently: "General Meng Ao led a large army to station here. Others must think that he is protecting Gu, but if it is just to protect me, the Prince of Qin, there is no need to build a There is no need to store grain quietly in the granary."

"Qin and Qi have good relations, and Qi will definitely not send troops. After the battle of Zhao Guo Changping, there are not many troops that can be mobilized. The two countries are at odds. South Korea has no good talents, but Wei Guo is now very angry, and they will not move."

Finally, there is another country, which is also a decisive one, and that is Chu State.

Chu State had hardly engaged in war in the previous few years. When the other five countries fought each other's brains, Chu State relied on its geographical advantages to be a country with less power.Therefore, if the six countries jointly attack Qin, the main combat power will depend on Chu.

Zhao Zheng knew this very well, and he also knew very well that the Qin State must survive this battle. Not only must it survive, but it is best to fight a beautiful counterattack.

Only by winning this battle of the six nations can they completely break all the confidence of the six nations and destroy their courage.However, the current state of Qin does not yet have the overwhelming strength to be able to fight against the six countries at the same time and achieve absolute victory. A generation has fully grown up, and when Qin State has completely passed the embarrassing period of its generals being outnumbered, then Qin State will no longer be afraid of any challenges.

And in order to gain this little time, his father had thought hard and carefully planned, so this opportunity came.

Therefore,

This battle must be fought and won.

Therefore,

He is also willing to sacrifice for it in order to complete this relay race between kings of Qin that lasted for three generations or even longer.

"My father never mentioned this matter to me." He smiled slightly, and there was satisfaction and pride in his smile. "Neither father nor mother told me about it, I saw it myself."

After a long silence, Lu An smiled slightly. He shook his head with a smile and said with a sigh, "Zheng'er, you..."

"You've grown up—did you think I'd say that?"

Lu An's expression gradually turned ferocious. He had originally held Zhao Zheng's hand and pulled him closer. Zhang Jun's face was torn apart and turned into an extremely ridiculous shape.

Zhao Zheng was stunned. He covered his cheeks that were still red and hot after Lu An let go, and looked at his brother who suddenly stood up with a puzzled face, "Ah, brother?"

"You seem to have misunderstood your elder brother." His elder brother stood up, brushed the dust off his body as if nothing had happened, and turned to look at his younger brother who was still sitting on the stone bench: "You also have some misunderstandings about the king."

"what?"

Lu An raised the corner of his lips: "Do you think that the Six Kingdoms' first attack is the East County? Then brother will definitely not be able to defend it?"

"Uh……"

"East County is indeed flat, and there is nothing to hide from." Lu An folded his sleeves, raised his head slightly, and his eyes were proud. "But don't forget, we are Qin people, and we are not only good at infantry."

He meant something: "The director of the Qin Army lies in the brave soldiers, in the ten thousand chariots, in the tens of millions of horses, and in everyone's ability to ride well."

"These are not available in the Six Kingdoms."

It is true that the plains are not easy to defend, but that is for infantry.But for an army with a lot of chariots and a lot of cavalry, who would dare to use infantry to fight against it in the plains?

The main attack and defense of infantry is protected by formations. In the era of cold weapons, chariots are equivalent to tanks. A complete formation of chariots can completely disperse all infantry formations, and then the chaotic infantry will be formed by the infantry formation behind. For harvesting, every country has such a basic formation, but only Qin is the strongest.

Because the Qin State chariot is pulled by four horses.

That's right, when other people's homes were still two-wheel drive or three-wheel drive, the tall (soil) rich (handsome) (household) in Qin State used four-wheel drive.

The chariot pulled by four horses is top-notch in terms of speed and impact ability. In addition, Qin State is located in a cold mountainous area with a large area of ​​primeval forest and inexhaustible wood, so it can be used against chariots. The wood is carefully selected.The excellent military industry makes Qin's chariot bodies extremely hard, which can provide devastating blows to the enemy while protecting the chariot soldiers.

But it's really not to blame Zhao Zheng for forgetting this.

Lu An looked at his younger brother's tangled eyes for a moment and complained: The advantage of chariots is only in the plains. Qin has not been able to use chariots in several wars in recent years. In recent years, all the highlights have been infantry formations. No wonder Zhao Xiaozheng forgot that he still has such a secret weapon.

He forgot, but King Qin did not forget that the construction of chariots has not stopped in recent years, and now Qin has so many chariots that there is no place to pile them up. This time, they will all be transported to Dongjun.

Although Dongjun looks like an enclave deep into the enemy's camp to outsiders, it is actually a military fortress. Otherwise, why would Qin go to such lengths to conquer this place.Lu An snorted: "What's more, if my prediction is correct, the Allied Forces of the Six Nations will definitely not attack Dongjun."

"The coalition forces are at odds with each other. If Dongjun is captured, Wei will be the only one who will take advantage." Lu An curled his lips slightly. .”

"And if my predictions are correct, they will not attack Hangu Pass."

Zhao Zheng was taken aback. "Brother, what do you mean, they will bypass Hangu Pass? Attack from the north to the south?"

Lu An smiled and nodded, "It's not that they will go around, but the king will let them go around."

He poked his younger brother's shocked face, and felt that his stunned expression was so amusing, he couldn't help poking him a few more times, what did you misunderstand your father, my silly brother!

A normal man can't even deal with a daughter-in-law and a real mother, but a man who can deal with two mothers and even settle both mothers, how can his stomach be white?

The silly brother didn't believe him, so he had to poke him a few more times to vent his anger!
