Chapter 1 The green hills are still a few degrees of sunset(1/2)

The sky is blue and the clouds are white, the water and grass are abundant, the green field is lingering, and a horse is flat. The soldiers ride horses and bend their bows in the wild, while the herdsmen drive sheep and cattle in the suburbs.

Standing on the city wall, looking into the distance, the mountains are green and the white water is gurgling, and they are combined into one, and the vision is fully visible.

Yunzhongcheng has a high terrain, with fertile plains and fertile fields around the country, Wuquan and Baiqu flow through it.

Since King Wuling of Zhao, Hu was in costume and cavalry, Zhao State's military strength was strong, destroyed Zhongshan, chased the north, and Linhu. The Zhao army attacked the north and established the city system here for a hundred years.

For more than a hundred years, Yunzhong County has provided war horses and food for Zhao State, and also has the important task of defending the Northern Hu State. The Great Wall of Zhao State built along the Yinshan Mountains travels through the three counties of Dai, Yanmen and Yunzhong.

After Qin destroyed the six kingdoms, he included Yunzhong under his jurisdiction. In order to defend against the Northern Hu, the Qin Emperor ordered the construction of the Great Wall of Thousand Miles, which was connected and built on the basis of the inherent Great Wall of Qin, Zhao and Yan.

At this moment, there are hundreds of thousands of laborers building the Great Wall on the long border of the empire. The Great Wall is built with wolf smoke and beacons on it. Depending on the terrain, the specific defense measures for each section of the Great Wall are also different.

In Yunzhong County, the Great Wall is used as the defense line and Yunzhong City is used as the support. The territory is narrow and long, with two large cities, Yuanyang and Xianyang at both ends. Extending from Yunzhong to the west, to Jiuyuan, is the place where the Qin Dynasty gathers heavily in the current area.

Ying Ziyi has been exiled to Yunzhong for four years.

In the past four years, the situation in the world has changed drastically.

Since that year, the Northern Hu has launched a large-scale southward movement, invading border counties, burning, killing, looting, and even Jiuyuan City has almost changed hands.

The Qin Emperor was furious and decided to attack the Xiongnu in the north and capture the land of Henan.

In four years, the Empire's war weapon started again. We drew troops from all over the country to transport food and grass. After a long preparation and planning, the border area has gone through several small-scale livestock land battles in recent years, and the war between the Empire and the Huns is about to break out.

Inside and outside Hetao, it was originally the place where the Huns released horses and shepherded sheep. Since the death of Touman Shanyu, the rights in the tribe were controlled by the nobles of the three surnames, and the former direct territory of Touman was also divided by these three surnames.

Faced with the aggressive offensive of the Qin army, the three surnames were under pressure and respected Maodun as the new Xiongnu Khan, and gave him a small piece of territory to the north of Yinshan as a royal court. The three surnames each occupied the fertile animal husbandry land inside and outside Hetao.

The three surnames set the Shanyu royal court north of Yinshan Mountain, which is not far and near. First, it is to facilitate their monitoring and control, and second, it is to be afraid that they will be too close to the traditional area of ​​the Huns, to win prestige, and to break away from their own control.

Regarding this situation, Maodun Shanyu did not seem to mind, and brought the small tribes he had surrendered to the north and entered the royal court with peace of mind.

Maodun took his men every day, rode horses and shot eagles, and hunted in the wild, and seemed to be happy to be his empty-handed Shanyu.

The nobles of the three surnames were very at ease when they saw their new Shanyu look like this. In addition to taking their troops to worship Shanyu at intervals, they usually transported cattle, sheep and horses, as well as some cloth and iron tools obtained from the south.

Until now, the war was about to begin, and there was still controversy within the Huns about whether to fight the empire. Among the three Huns, the Lan family and the Xubu family strongly advocated resisting Qin, while the Huyan family said that the Qin army was strong and could not resist.

The final reason is that the territory of the Lan family and the Subu family in the Hetao area is mainly concentrated in the southern bank of the Yellow River and the fertile plain area connected to Jiuyuan, while the Huyan family is located in the section from the northern bank to the southern foot of Yinshan.

In other words, the Huyan family was unwilling to lose the soldiers of their tribe for the territory of the other two families. The Huns quarreled over this.

In the empire, the old forces of Kanto countries have become increasingly calm in recent years.

First, the prince of Qin was exiled to Yunzhong, and the possibility of the prince Fusu inheriting the throne was getting greater and greater. There was no need to do such a headless work as an anti-Qin.

Second, four years ago, the Xiang family held a wedding banquet for the prince of Chu and the princess of Zhao, but was attacked on the night of the wedding. The nobles of the various forces who went to attend the wedding banquet and the backbone of the various schools of thought were ambushed by a large army and suffered heavy losses. The prince of Chu Xiong Xin was even more brutally killed.

However, the person who escaped at night was silent about what happened at the wedding banquet that night, and no one was willing to explain it in detail. The internal organization of the anti-Qin forces, which was originally hiding under the command of Prince Fusu, was severely damaged later. In recent years, they have been dormant in the dark and resting.

In the empire, the wind was calm for a while.

Yunling, Taoist sect.

Green mountains and clear waters, a clear spring slid down from the mountains.

Forget-you, the princess of Zhao State, the widow of the prince of Chu State, was sitting cross-legged on the protruding rock in the spring, with a calm expression.

The true energy around her body circulates, and her mood fluctuates as anxious as the boiling spring water around her.

Xiaoyaozi came to Wangyou unknowingly, stroked his long beard and said, "Wangyou, can you still not let go?"

"Ying Zheng killed all my tribe members, and Ying Ziyi even killed my nominal husband on my wedding night. Now I am a homeless person. Master, I can't let go." Wangyou did not speak, and the technique of transmitting the sound of nature resounded between the two.

"I have already said that if you can't let go, your teacher will not let you go down the mountain." Xiaoyaozi sighed and said. Wangyou's mood changed at this moment, and bone-blooded hatred filled his heart, and his face became more and more ferocious.

Xiaoyaozi was helpless, and he could understand the hatred in his heart. In the first battle, the Taoist sect also suffered heavy losses. In the end, only a few elders and disciples who went to attend the wedding banquet escaped.

The Taoist sect was quite in love among many forces. They acted secretly, and the elders who did not attend the wedding banquet were not assassinated afterwards. However, among the other sects, there were many examples of the entire sect steward being uprooted afterwards.

Four years ago, Wangyou and Wangqiao escaped from the ambush. He wanted to go to Yunzhong immediately, but was stopped by Xiaoyaozi.

Xiaoyaozi understood that with their situation at that time, their emotions were extremely unstable, and they might not be able to reach Yunzhong, so they would have to be caught and strangled by the Qin army.

For Wangyou, if you cannot let go of this hatred in your heart, then even if you go down the mountain, you will not end up well.

Therefore, Xiaoyaozi brought them back to the mountain gate, and they were closed for four years.

"Wangyou, you can continue to practice here!" Xiaoyaozi said, turning around and planning to leave.

"Master, how about Wang Qiao?" Wangyou asked.

"She's very good!"

Speaking of this, Xiaoyaozi had to sigh that perhaps he had different experiences since childhood, Wangqiao's temperament should be tougher. After these four years of cultivation, Wangqiao's hatred has gradually been let go.

No, if you say let go, it is a bit exaggerated.

But at least, she is not as obsessed with hatred as if she is forgetful.

"Whether you want to go down the mountain or go to find that person to take revenge! As long as the spring water around you is no longer as anxious as it is now, let you go down the mountain."

Xiaoyaozi waved his long sleeves, turned around and left, leaving only one sentence.

....

Farmer's house, Lieshan Hall.

Tian Yan sat in the yard and looked at the scenery outside the house that had been looking at countless times, with a sudden expression.

Since that night, the sixth hall of the farmhouse suffered heavy damage, and Shengqi succeeded in ascending to the position of Xiagui.

After that night, none of the four masters of the farmer's family survived. In order to save her, Tian Yan's father resisted the pursuit troops and guarded her away and was finally killed.

The Zhu family and Situ Wanli escaped by chance.

Later, Tian Yan inherited his father as the Lord of the Hall of the Lieshan, while Tian Ci inherited the position of the Lord of the Chiyou, the second uncle Tian Hu. The remaining two positions of the Lord of the Hall were held by Shengqi's confidant Guang and Liu Ji, the second leader of the Shennong Hall.

For a time, the power of the Tian family in the farming family was severely weakened.

However, after Shengqi became the hero, he did not kill all the Tian forces in the peasant family, but adopted a policy of appeasement.

All peasant disciples knew that Shengqi was the prince of Qin, but after he became the hero, he was abnormal and adopted a neutral policy. He neither bowed to Prince Qin like he used to, nor turned a deaf ear to the kindness released by Prince Fusu.

Without Shengqi's support, Prince Qin had no place to stand in the farmer's family. But the prince Fusu was different. Among the six farmer's houses, except for the Kuiwei Hall, which was headed by Shengqi's confidant Guang, the other five halls all clearly stated that they supported Fusu. Chiyou Hall and Lieshan Hall were his iron-kicks.

Fusu was happy to see such a situation, so he did not have much obstacles to the successor of the hero.

"The Lord of the Hall, the silk letter sent by Prince Fusu."

The maid Xiaolan walked from the far corner of the corridor beside her and handed a small wooden box to Tian Yan.

She opened the wooden box, took out the silk stick from it, took a look, and placed it aside.

"Master, what do you say about Your Highness, the eldest son?" Xiaolan asked.

"Your Highness said that the wood for the construction of the new capital Chang'an and Taosai came from Baiyue and passed through our territory of Lieshantang. The emperor attached great importance to this batch of wood and hoped that we would take care of it." Tian Yan said with a lack of interest.

"Chang'an and Taosai, wasn't that what Prince Qin suggested to build? Hasn't it been repaired yet?" Xiaolan said in confusion.

"No. The scale of Xindu is very large, and many places have not been built. The wood transported this time is mainly used to build the main palace of Weiyang Palace in the imperial city. As for Taosai? If it is completed, it will be the first major gate in Guanzhong after Hangu."

"Huh? Although this matter is important, does Your Highness Fusu need to send a letter in person?" Xiaolan said in confusion at this time.

Over the years, Xiaolan, a maid who came to serve from Fusu Mansion, has been with Tian Yan, and is as affectionate as sisters.

Xiaolan picked up the silk stick, glanced at it, and laughed and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you very much. How is the girl's current situation? It turns out that Your Highness specially sent a letter to you, "It's fake public service for personal gain"!"

Facing Xiaolan's teasing, Tian Yan also smiled: "You little girl, please laugh at me, right? Look at me, don't you tease your mouth."

The two of them immediately started to have a fight.

………

Mohist school.

Since the attack on the Messenger City, all the area was occupied by the Qin army.

It was just after the Qin prince was exiled to the north. Prince Fusu submitted a memorial to the Emperor of Qin and removed the Qin army stationed around the city of Jiguan. The reason is that although the mountains near Jiguan City are dangerous, the distance from nearby towns is too remote, and the transportation of food and grass is not good. Moreover, the surrounding area is sparsely populated, so the cost of garrisoning a large army is too high.

Emperor Qin finally agreed.

After the Qin army retreated, the Mo family returned again and occupied the city of the government.

However, this mechanic city has been destroyed and many places have become ruins.

During these four years, several leaders of the Mo family recalled Mo family disciples from all over the place, gathered manpower, cleaned up the ruins and stones in the city of the government, and rebuilt several major areas in the city of the government.

Gao Jianli stood on the top of the mountain, with the ink core below, and the gears were slowly rotating, maintaining the operation of the entire mechanic city.

"If it weren't for the young master Fusu, our Mo family wouldn't know when we would return to the city of Jiguan, and we wouldn't have been like this now."

Gao Jianli sighed deeply, and heard the Tao Zhi, Master Ban and others behind him nodding repeatedly.

After that night, surprisingly, all the six commanders of the Mo family were safe and sound without any damage.

"That's right, Young Master Fusu has indeed deep kindness to us, and we will repay us to death." said Thiezu.

"At present, all the facilities in the city of the government have been built, except that place." Master Ban said, with a strange expression.

"There is no need to rush to build that place. After all, it is the most important place for our Mohist family. It will not be too late to come back in the future." Gao Jianli thought for a while and said.

"By the way, how is Tianming now?" asked the snow girl. Their little giant has been experiencing in the world for a long time.
