Chapter 577 Farewell

Sakura garden in the mountains.

The cherry blossoms are blooming, floating into the misty soup pool.

Zhao Shuang was dressed in snow-white clothes, with deep eyes and long black hair.

The sound of thumping footsteps sounded behind, and Zi Nu took a shawl and put it on Zhao Shuang.

"It's getting cold!"

Zhao Shuang held Zi Nu's hand with a warm smile on his face.

A gust of wind blew by, and a large number of cherry blossoms fell with the wind, causing ripples. Zi Nu looked at the beautiful scenery in the courtyard, with tenderness in her beautiful eyes.

Just an eagle's call echoed in the sky outside the mountain courtyard. Zi Nu withdrew her gaze, and her originally gentle eyes became sharp.

"Yan Lingji has already gained something."

Zi Nu's lips moved slightly at an angle and she smiled.

"There have been a lot more eyes and ears around here recently."

"Since we are in the mountains, we will naturally become good targets. Who are they?"

This mountain courtyard was originally built in the mountains and there was no one living around it. On weekdays, two hundred private soldiers are stationed here. If only counted for military purposes, this can be regarded as a small fort.

There are no large-scale bandits in Guanzhong, so having two hundred soldiers in this fortress is enough.

But this can only cope with emergencies under normal circumstances.

"I haven't found out yet, but it can be seen that they are all top-notch experts."

Hongyu took off the bamboo tube from the eagle's leg from the Eagle Falling Platform, and walked step by step with the information from afar.

"Sister Zinu!"

Hong Yu handed the information to Zi Nu and stood aside.

"Li Xin captured Chen Di and Meng Tian captured Cheng Fu. Their two armies are planning to join Cheng Fu and march south to Shoudi."

Chendi was the place where Chu established its capital after the defeat of Ying in the past. The capture of Chendi also meant that the war against Chu had entered a new stage.

Chen Di is very important, both to Qin and Chu.

When King Hui of Wei moved the capital to Daliang, he also dug a gap to connect the Yellow River and the Huaihe River. Daliang has been the most important economic center on the south bank of the Yellow River for more than a hundred years. It is also a military center and has a lot to do with the opening of the divide.

On this artificial river, Daliang is one of the important hubs, and Chenying, the former capital of Chu State, is another.

After the Qin army captured Chendi, the grain and grass from Guanzhong could flow down the river, from the Wei River through the Yellow River and Honggou, and then into the Huai River, directly to the vicinity of Shouchun.

In terms of logistical support, there are already conditions to support the destruction of Chu. This is also the reason why the Qin army regarded the destruction of Wei and Chu as a battle.

Daliang City is quite strong, but it is also the biggest obstacle to the Qin army's logistics channel. Only by clearing this obstacle can the Qin army extend its power to the Jianghuai area.

Now the important towns in the west and north of Chu State have been captured by the Qin army, and the army has been wiped out. The only ones left were the main legion led by the Xiang clan in the east and several affiliated legions with different surnames, as well as the legions near the capital of King Chu.

However, because the King of Chu was responsible for killing King Ai and proclaimed himself king, it caused considerable civil strife in the capital of Chu. This turmoil has not stopped yet.

The Xiang clan, as supporters of Fu Cu, led their private soldiers to help Fu Cu and were near Shouchun.

In other words, the Qin army's strategy is now clear. As long as he leads the army southward at this time and has a decisive battle with the Chu army near the capital of Chu.

However, the Qin army besieged Daliang for three months and flooded the capital of Wei. This once majestic city was damaged. The Qin army's grain and grass must pass through Chendi before they can reach the front line.

Lord Changping knew his own value very well, so he asked for orders to go to Chu. Use the identity of Chu Gongzi to appease the Chu people and open up logistics channels.

"Mr. Changping went to Chendi. Their relatives know nothing about it, but the storm is getting bigger and bigger."

This force has been formed since Empress Dowager Xuan. The Chu dynasty was rooted in the Qin State. From the inner palace to the court and then to the army, it has been deeply rooted for many years.

Whether they are relatives or aristocratic families, they can be the pillars of the Qin royal family, or they can also become obstacles to power. Empress Dowager Xuan was in charge of the Qin State and protected the young King Zhaoxiang, but after that, King Zhaoxiang had no real power for a long time.

After Empress Dowager Xuan, Empress Dowager Huayang was another heroine who stirred up troubles. The power structure she left behind even extends to the present, and Zhao Shuang is also one of the beneficiaries.

There is a very deep connection between the Chu family and the Qin state, which cannot be broken easily. Even if it is weak, as long as it is not rebellious, no one can move it.

Because if it moves, it will cause considerable turmoil.

Zhao Shuang smiled.

"I don't notice it on weekdays, but Changping-kun has a really strong foundation!"

Even if the Chu clan is declining day by day, Lord Changping can still produce so many important martial arts masters.

"Are we going to let Niqusha take action and eliminate these people?"

A piece of cherry blossom fell on the palm of his hand. Zhao Shuang looked at it and held it lightly.

"The bright colors of the cherry blossoms are all dyed with blood. Just let them be. With ten years of experience, the Chu family will not only have such a few people."

Zhao Shuang opened his palms, and the wind blew, picking up the cherry blossoms and flying into the distance.

Changping Junfu.

Wearing red makeup and no shadow, the girl was dressing up in front of the mirror and playing with exquisite jewelry, with an expression of excitement and joy on her face.

Girls have many romantic imaginations about their marriage. And when she thought that these imaginations were about to become reality, and that the most dazzling hero under the sun was about to become her husband, the girl's heart was filled with sweetness.

"Lian'er!"

A soft sound came to mind at the back. Mi Lian turned around and shouted.

"Uncle, you are here."

Chang Wenjun looked at Mi Lian with a hint of guilt in his eyes.

"Uncle is going to Nanyang soon and can't attend your wedding."

"It's okay. Uncle has worked hard for the country, and Lian'er won't hold a grudge. Anyway, we will see you again soon after uncle handles the matter."

Seeing the innocent smile on the girl's face, Chang Wenjun wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't.

"We will meet soon."

Chang Wenjun left Mi Lian's room and walked out. Now that Lord Changping is away, all matters in the mansion are arranged by Lord Changwen.

There were people busy in the mansion. Chang Wenjun avoided everyone and came to the backyard.

A swordsman dressed in black came to Chang Wenjun and lowered his head.

"When we take action, we must first protect Lian'er and escape from the Sakura Garden in the mountains. In addition, my sister-in-law and Xin'er will escort her out of the city as soon as possible on the day of action. We will meet in Nanyang."

"promise!"

The swordsman in black retreated, and Lord Chang Wen looked at the familiar scene in front of him. For many years, he had discussed matters with Lord Chang Ping here. But this time, after he left, he would never come back.

But in the end, apart from the sadness when parting, Chang Wenjun also had a different emotion, and he sighed leisurely.

"Lian'er, I'm sorry!"
