Controlling mountains and rivers since the Warring States Period

Chapter 223: Seventeen Years of the Qin King

"Sir, South Korea is destroyed!"

When the snow slowly falls in winter,
He Bo was squatting on the ground, playing a stone-turning game with some kids around him, when uncle and nephew Liu Jiao and Liu Xin ran over and told him with nervous looks on their faces.

"Oh."

He Bo responded calmly, then reached out his hand, grabbed all the stones, and happily won the grass cricket from the little boy.

He held the spoils, stood up and said to Liu Jiao and the others, "Han is destroyed, why are you panicking?"

Fengyi is a place where

It now belongs to the State of Chu, not even the Three Jins, and is still some distance away from the State of Qin.

Liu Jiao said, "There has never been such a thing in previous wars."

One of the seven major powers in the Warring States Period has been destroyed. Doesn’t this illustrate the seriousness of the matter?

He Bo curled his lips and said, "Why doesn't this happen?"

"Aren't Zhongshan and Song Kingdoms a lesson for us?"

Zhao Bing Zhongshan,

The State of Qi swallowed up the State of Song.
In these turbulent times, it was not uncommon for ancestral temples to be demolished.

The collapse of South Korea shocked the world.

The only difference is that its size is larger than that of Zhongshan and Song, but its speed of defeat is faster.

Although He Bo knew,

The destruction of Han was only the first step taken by King Zheng of Qin on his road to annexing the world and embracing the four seas.

He was behind, and he had to run again, to reach the end of the road in one breath.

But for some princes who have been fighting for many years and have become numb to these scenes, they can't help but feel:
Now that Qin has devoured Han, its appetite should be satisfied.

Such a vast land and population,

It's not easy to digest.

Qi and Song had been neighbors for hundreds of years and had a profound influence on each other. As a result, when Qi was incorporated into the Song Dynasty, it almost caused indigestion.

In the next few years, the Qin State certainly did not have the energy to fight again!

Thinking of this,
After being shocked, the princes relaxed immediately.

They knew that Qin's progress could not be stopped.

But if we can delay it for a while and ensure that the country does not fall in our hands, it will be a gratifying thing.

Only the dead ghosts in the underworld can see clearly and know that the old rules are not applicable to this new era.

The current King Zheng of Qin is determined to use the remaining power of the six previous generations to whip the whole world!

The rare similarity between him and his father is his eagerness to unify the world!

The only worry of the dead ghosts is that they don’t know what measures Qin will take after unification to govern a country that is completely different from the previous one.

of course,

Han Fei, who had just died, would still mourn for the overthrow of the country.

But his sadness didn't stop others from discussing it.

……

"Okay, you're not old enough to worry about the world yet, why don't you go home and eat first!"

In the world of the living, He Bo waved his hand and said, "Whether South Korea lives or dies has nothing to do with me."

then,

He Bo drove the two teenagers back to Liu's house.

Liu Xin's mother, the widow of Liu Lao Da, was very enthusiastic towards He Bo and kept inviting him to stay for dinner.

After He Bo took on the task of educating Liu Jiao, he felt that Liu Xin's age was not much different from his uncle, and it didn't matter whether he taught one or two, so he took this older nephew along and did not charge him any tuition.

This made Liu Xin's mother very grateful. Even when there was not enough food at home, she would rather starve herself and hold the rice pot to scrape the remaining, dry rations to entertain teacher He Bo.

After He Bo knew about this, he remained calm on the surface, but he often took his two children to the river to fish and study at the same time.

Liu Xin always managed to catch a lot of fish and give them to his mother to supplement the family income.

Today, the same is true.

Liu Xin handed the results of fishing to his mother, who touched his head with a smile, and then couldn't help but sigh.

She said, "Your Third Uncle is coming back!"

"This guy has been out there for so many years and has not made any progress. I guess he will just waste food when he comes back!"

Liu Xin did not have a very deep impression of his uncle. He only often heard his mother say that he was idle, worked as a guest for others all year round, and often asked for money from the family, which made it difficult for the family to save money.

Now that I have returned, the burden on my family will be increased again.

So he said, "Don't worry, mother!"

"Now I have grown up, I can work in the fields, and I can write a lot, so I can help my mother with her worries!"

Liu Xinxiang:
If his third uncle was not doing the right thing, he would grow more food, do some work writing letters and copying books for others, earn some extra money, and reduce his mother's burden!

Although his grandfather was kind and loving, he still had a young son and other grandchildren.

He has so much to take care of!

Many times, Liu Xin and his mother could only find ways to solve problems in life on their own.

After hearing what he said, the mother smiled with relief.

Then, she took out two pieces of cloth. The material of the cloth was very ordinary, but it was woven with great care and did not feel rough to the touch.

The mother said, "I spun this especially for you!"

"Now that you have studied and gained knowledge, you are no longer an ordinary person. In the future, you may be able to study abroad and become a famous scholar... Why would you still wear the tattered clothes of a farmer?"

"The other ones were made for your husband."

"He didn't take your tuition but taught you, giving you the same treatment as Liu Jiao. I am very grateful."

"I can't save much money, so I can only rely on weaving some cloth to thank him for his kindness!"

"Wait a minute, you can deliver it to me!"

Liu Xin took it and nodded obediently.

And when he returned,
Liu Yan also came back.

The old man put down his hoe and sat on the ground with his youngest son and He Bo, sharing the wild fruits they had picked.

He Bo didn't know either.

How did Liu Yan get wild fruits at this time of year?

He just reached out and took one.
Then he took a bite and immediately frowned.

"Hurry, there's your share!"

Liu Yan was amused by his expression, and after harming his son and friends, he went on to touch his grandson.

Liu Xin was an honest child. Even though he witnessed He Bo's tragic experience, he still took it and started eating it.

quickly,

He and Liu Jiao were so jealous that they sat in a corner and doubted their lives.

"Now I know why the fruits have not been picked even in winter."

He Bo took a few sips of water and said with emotion after he calmed down.

Liu Yan said cheerfully, "But I think it's okay!"

"Your teeth have all fallen out, how can you know what's sour?"

He Bo said bluntly.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yan pursed his lips, felt the empty gums in his mouth, and stopped talking.

He just picked up a green fruit, threw it into his mouth, and started eating it contentedly.

……

"I'm going home to celebrate the New Year soon, so I won't bother you anymore!"

When Li and Liu Xin's mother brought the food up and Liu Yan was distributing the food to the whole family as usual, He Bo suddenly spoke.

The two disciples were somewhat reluctant, but not too surprised.

After all, the New Year is a big event, and even Liu Laosan is coming back. How can He Bo continue to stay in Fengyi?
Liu Yan did not try to persuade him to stay, but just asked, "When will you come again after the New Year?"

He Bo shook his head and said, "I won't come again in the future. Liu Jiao and Liu Xin have already laid a solid foundation. I just need to travel for a while and put what I have learned into practice."

wisdom,

It is obtained from life.

You can't cultivate talents by just reading books.

"what?"

Hearing this,

Liu Yan stopped putting rice in the pot and held the rice pot, not knowing what to say.

He was silent for a while, and finally said, "Then contact me when you have time!"

"Where do you live? Although I am old and can't walk, Lao Si and Liu Xin can walk. I will let them look after you!"

He Bo continued to shake his head, "My hometown is in chaos right now, and I'm wandering around everywhere now, with no specific place to stay."

On the other side of Zhangshui,

It has been many years since things have changed.

He Bo would occasionally go back to Ye County to feel the atmosphere there, but he would not stay for too long.

Most of the time, he would nap in the underworld or lie down on the plateau.

right now,

The progress bar of the Yellow River was finally halfway through. He Bo was so eager to take action that he thought about going south to get involved in the tributaries of the Yangtze River!
In general,

When he is free, he is really free.

When I get busy, I'm really busy.

After all, going to the Yangtze River to ask for a fight requires courage and perseverance.

When He Bo thought about how he had secretly wanted to move to the south over the years, but ended up getting beaten up, he felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

The "fatherly love" of the Yangtze River,
That's really cruel!

"See you again someday!"

He ate a meal at the Liu family, took some cloth specially woven by Liu Xin's mother, then patted his chest and walked further and further away under the reluctant gazes of the two teenagers.

And within a few days,
Liu Laosan walked into the house cursing.
