Chapter 207 When Will the Moon Appear?

The night is dark and the wind is cold.

Although the climate in the south is much warmer than that in the north, the howling autumn wind at night still has a bit of a chill. In addition, there are many rivers in Chu State. Every night, the water vapor rises and merges with the deep night to create a gloomy night atmosphere.

In such an atmosphere at night, even the bravest person would not dare to leave the house under the cover of darkness, let alone walk in the undeveloped wilderness.

However, on the road leading to Shouchun, the capital of Chu, there were thousands of Qin soldiers wearing black armor, spurring their horses and galloping freely in the night mist. The sound of horse hooves was set off by the quiet environment, not only loud, but also a bit scary. In addition, the army marching through the night mist was enough to make anyone who accidentally saw this army have a common thought:

[Have the gates of hell opened wide? Have the ghost soldiers and generals from the underworld escaped into the human world? ]

"Hahaha."

These thousands of Qin Army cavalry were the Black Dragon Cavalry trained by Tianxuan. The strictly trained Black Dragon Cavalry ignored the puddles and pools of water, as if they were a black dragon turning the sea upside down. Riding on Huoyun, Tianxuan ran in the front. He saw from the corner of his eye that his subordinates followed orders and laughed with satisfaction.

"Sir, do you really think that we can take Shouchun with just these 5,000 cavalrymen?" Mo Ya, who was wearing a black iron armor, followed closely beside Tianxuan and asked with a frown.

During the day, Wang Jian called Tianxuan and asked him to lead 5,000 Black Dragon Cavalry to secretly leave the camp at night to carry out a secret mission - to raid Shouchun! Tianxuan accepted the order and set off with his troops, but Mo Ya expressed doubts. Shouchun City is the capital of Chu State, and the imperial guards are probably more than 5,000. Even if they want to attack, it is still not an easy task to seize the capital that has been managed by the Chu people for hundreds of years.

Tianxuan looked back at Mo Ya and said, "Why not? First, the elite troops of Chu were all tied up by General Wang Jian; second, our action was secretive, and when we reached the city of Shouchun, most of the dignitaries of Chu had probably just received the news; third," when he talked about the third point, Tianxuan stopped talking suddenly, with a sarcastic arc at the corner of his mouth.

Qin army camp.

"Marshal, you sent Tianxuanzi to launch a surprise attack on Shouchun. This is too much..."

In Wang Jian's tent, Prince Fusu, who had recovered from the rebellion of Changping Jun and Changwen Jun, learned that Tianxuan had received Wang Jian's order to attack Shouchun, and he went to Wang Jian angrily. The candlelight fell on Fusu's face, revealing his confusion and anger.

Facing Fusu's questioning, Wang Jian was not angry at all. On the contrary, looking at the elegant Fusu in front of him, Wang Jian, who had watched Fusu grow up, was very pleased and thought to himself: "My eldest son, you are finally beginning to mature."

"My Lord, please don't be angry." Wang Jian signaled Fusu to calm down. "I sent Tianxuanzi to attack Shouchun in order to give him a great achievement!"

When Fusu heard Wang Jian say this, he was immediately amused. Fortunately, he still had some sense and knew that on the battlefield, the only person in the world who could be compared with Wang Jian was Li Mu. He said in a deep voice, "Please explain."

Wang Jian stood up from his chair. "First, our Great Qin army of 600,000 is approaching. As long as the Chu people are not stupid, they will definitely concentrate all their forces on the front line. Therefore, Shouchun City is unusually empty now. Second, Tian Xuanzi's Black Dragon Cavalry is fast and secretive. Xiang Yan is busy gathering the defeated soldiers and cannot find them at all. Third, Shouchun City is actually a city abandoned by the Chu people."

"The city abandoned by the Chu people?" Fusu chewed on Wang Jian's words, looking confused. Wang Jian said: "My Lord, the territory of Chu is as vast as that of the Qin State. Because there are many rivers and lakes in the territory, it is not easy to conquer. Therefore, for Xiang Yan, and even all the dignitaries of Chu, the best choice is to abandon Shouchun, the capital, and use the vast territory to fight with the Qin State."

"If we blindly defend Shouchun, we will lose all the troops of Chu!"

"Old General, you are wise." After hearing Wang Jian's words, Fusu nodded sincerely. Suddenly, a ray of light flashed through Fusu's eyes.

"Old General, since Shouchun has been abandoned by the Chu people, why haven't we received news that King Fuchu of Chu is going to move the capital?"

"Because the Chu people abandoned not only Shouchun City, but also the King of Chu, Fuchu!" Wang Jian said word by word with a solemn expression. "Fuchu killed the king and established himself. If he were a wise ruler like King Mu of Chu, the Chu people might have accepted him as the King of Chu. However, what Fuchu did after he succeeded to the throne is really not what a wise ruler can be called."

"So, the people of Chu have chosen a person who is ten times more talented than Fu Chu and has a more legitimate claim to the throne, to become the new king of Chu!"

Boom!
Although Wang Jian did not reveal the person he guessed, how could Fusu not understand when he heard this? Before Wang Jian finished speaking, Fusu was struck by lightning, his heart in his chest beat violently, and his face turned pale.

Qin capital, Xianyang.

The Palace of the Imperial Censor.

After Changping Jun's rebellion, Zhengge promoted the Imperial Censor Feng Quji to be the Right Prime Minister, and Han Fei, the former Chief Censor, took over and replaced Feng Quji as the Imperial Censor of Qin. Although the Imperial Censor was half a level lower than the Prime Minister, he was in charge of supervision and prisons, and his power was not much less than that of the Left Prime Minister Wang Wan and the Right Prime Minister Feng Quji.

Who could have thought that Han Fei, a prince of the State of Han who was disliked by his father, King An of Han, and isolated by his brothers, could become one of the three dukes of the State of Qin.

The waning moon was like a hook, hanging in the western sky, and the shadows of the flowers and trees in the back garden blended with the waning moon, making people wonder whether there was really a fairy named Chang'e (Chang'e's real name was Heng'e, but she was renamed Chang'e to avoid the name of Emperor Wen of Han, Liu Heng) in that dim moon!
The moon was bright in the sky. Han Fei, dressed in a brocade robe, stood in a stone pavilion in the flower garden. His fingers, as delicate as white porcelain, played with a wine jar. The fine wine was swaying in the jar, as if it was gathered from blood.

"When will the bright moon appear? I raise my cup to ask the blue sky. I wonder what year it is in the palace in heaven tonight. I want to ride the wind to return, but I am afraid that it is too cold up there in the jade buildings. I stand up to dance with my shadow, but it seems not like I am in the human world..." Standing silently under the bright moonlight, Han Fei sang loudly. His passionate singing was filled with endless emotions and memories of the past.

A poem that should not have appeared in this era, but appeared, came out of Han Fei's mouth. If it were spread out and known by some nosy people, they would most likely slander it to Zheng Ge, saying that Han Fei, the prince of Han, was attached to his homeland and had evil intentions towards the Qin Dynasty.

"Turning around the red pavilion, lowering the beautiful window, shining on the sleepless. There should be no hatred, why does the moon always appear when we are parting. ..."
