"This damn madman Huang! Just now, the clan has decided to discuss matters and sent people to contact the Han tribe. The two ministries are putting pressure on the Chu tribe at the same time. If they cannot get satisfactory compensation, they will not hesitate to fight to seek justice for the clan!"
After listening to what Zhang Lao Er said, Chen Xi was stunned, as if he was possessed. Zhang Lao Er saw that he was distracted and was a little confused, thinking that Chen Xi was young and was scared when he heard that there was going to be a war. He smiled and said Comforting: "Little gentleman, this matter has nothing to do with you. Don't worry, you can leave here at any time."
"Ah? Oh, second uncle, I'm fine."
Lying in bed at night, Chen Xi was overwhelmed with emotions. This hometown of Yingguo was indeed what Zhang Laoer said. It was basically consistent with the historical records of later generations. Only three of them, in the vast history, did not exist at all. No trace can be found.
According to historical records, South Korea took advantage of the conflict between Chu and Wei, and after destroying the Zheng State, it seized most of the territory of the Chu State. Only Luyang and Nanliang belonged to the Wei State, and the rest belonged to South Korea. How could such a big empire have emerged now? There are three deviations?
Gu Yingguo, which was originally mysterious and unpredictable, is now even more bizarre. It happened that he was reborn here. Thinking of this, Chen Xi couldn't help but have a headache. The unbelievable encounters, the bizarre places, everything was so weird.
After much deliberation, Chen Xi gave up thinking and guessing about his homeland, and couldn't help but think of today's battle. He tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep.
The next day, Zhang Laoer saw Chen Xi listless and looked like he hadn't slept well, so he asked with concern: "Little gentleman, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with the wound last night? Do you want to call the doctor to take a look? "
The third sister and brother also looked at him nervously. Chen Xi hurriedly said: "Second uncle, I'm fine."
Chen Xi asked: "Why did Madman Huang bring his troops here for revenge after so long? And I don't think this attack is an act of revenge. If it was revenge, someone should be sent to inquire about the situation first and know more about Zhang Wei If we start an attack just to avenge a cousin and break the peace for many years, it would be too much. This time, it is more like a, well, exploratory attack!"
Chen Xi expressed his doubts. After years of peace, the Chu tribe did not understand the Wei tribe's combat effectiveness and mobilization capabilities, so they launched a surprise attack.
"Test?!"
After hearing this, Zhang Laoer raised his head, his eyes gleaming, and his mighty aura burst out, making Chen Xi's heart tremble.
In his previous life, Chen Xi discussed many past wars with others and came to a conclusion: All wars must have their own demands and strive to gain some kind of benefits, such as land, population, or political or economic benefits, etc. There are no benefits. War does not exist.
"Second uncle, I have some opinions. Are you willing to listen?"
"Why are you so polite? Just say it quickly!"
"The Chu tribe broke the agreement and took the initiative to attack the Wei tribe. It is possible that the Chu State was the driving force behind the scenes! As soon as the Qin State took up the banner of seeking hegemony, this attack happened. I think it was the Chu State who was behind this, because Qin State After the Chu Alliance split, as the Qin State officially raised the banner of hegemony over the world, the declining Chu State became even more panicked. It pushed the Chu State to attack the Wei Department, and Han and Wei were integrated, and it was possible that even the Korean Department would not be spared!
Judging from the current situation, Han and Wei are bordering Qin. If Qin wants to annex other countries, it will definitely attack Han and Wei first. At present, Qin generals have captured Yangcheng and Fusui of South Korea, which are only more than 80 miles away. Taking advantage of this turbulent situation , people are in panic, Chu's attack on Han and Wei will make Han and Wei feel more crisis-ridden. Once Chu succeeds, Han and Wei will be sandwiched between the two major forces of Qin and Chu. If they don't want to be defeated by Qin If the country is destroyed, it can only form an alliance with Chu and respect Chu as its leader, thus giving Chu a powerful force to fight against Qin! "
At this time, Chen Xi was thinking deeply, and his eyes became a little green, which was completely different from his immature face. Although the two children didn't know why, they felt that Chen Xi seemed to be very powerful and spoke like an adult, so they all admired him. Zhang Laoer's hair stood on end and cold sweat broke out when he heard that the situation was so serious. Zhang Qiaoyun's beautiful eyes flashed and he stared at Chen Xi with a look of surprise on his face. The more he looked at this young man, the weirder he became.
After a while, Zhang Laoer came back to his senses, his expression was extremely solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Let's go, follow me to see the clan leader now!"
When they arrived at the clan leader's house, both Zhang Laosheng and Zhang Wei were there. Zhang Laoer hurriedly pulled Chen Xi to him: "Brother, this guy has some opinions on the Chu tribe's attack. I think it makes sense, so I asked him to come over. Let’s talk to you!”
Zhang Laosheng was surprised. Zhang Laoer was the military leader of the tribe and the most powerful character after him. He was usually calm and composed. Why did he look panicked now?
He looked at Chen Xi and said in a gentle tone: "Chen Xi, just say whatever you want."
After Chen Xi finished speaking, Zhang Laosheng and Zhang Wei's father and son stared at Chen Xi in disbelief. Why did this boy talk like a court official who was experienced in accidents? He was strict and orderly. Very impressive.
Zhang Wei spoke: "Brother, you are a scholar. You may not understand much about us martial arts practitioners. Although that madman Huang is a bitch, he likes to dance with guns and sticks like me. He is always looking for people. There was a fight between people, but now that there is no fight, I feel itchy all over, so I came over to start a fight. You said, it’s too scary? Since he dares to come to the door, I don’t dare? I will go to the Chu Department another day and beat him to death. dog!"
"Shut up!"
Zhang Laosheng scolded his son dissatisfied, staring at Chen Xi with his eyes so sharp that he seemed to want to penetrate Chen Xi. This boy has been here for more than two months. He is usually very polite and polite and doesn't talk much. Today he opened his mouth. , completely shocked him, how could this child see such profound things at such a young age, and it was extremely convincing.
The head of a clan, with more than 20,000 people and their lives resting on his shoulders, the burden was very heavy. Zhang Laosheng frowned and walked in silence in the hall. Several people did not dare to say anything. There was only dull footsteps, and they became heavier and heavier. It was obvious that Zhang Laosheng was very scared and uneasy inside.
After a while, Zhang Laosheng raised his head, his eyes blazing, and he made a decision: "This matter has not been confirmed yet. It is not appropriate to convene the clan members to discuss the matter to avoid causing panic. So, Wei'er, you lead people to sneak into the Chu tribe and secretly inquire about it. Let's see. Whether Chu troops have assembled and whether they have prepared food and grass, the most important thing is to see if Chu troops have entered Chu troops!
Second brother, go and talk to Han immediately. Don’t talk about the affairs of the Chu State. Just tell Han that Chu covets the land of Han and Wei and wants to restart the war. Please be prepared to start a war at any time! As soon as you come back, you start gathering the tribesmen to strengthen training. If they want to fight, we will accompany them! "
Zhang Laosheng glanced at everyone, sighed, and said in a low tone: "A great chaos is coming. You must be careful. I will set off immediately to report this matter to the State of Wei!"
He turned to Chen Xi again and said warmly: "Chen Xi, if you can think of these things, it shows that you are very concerned about the safety of the Wei Department, and it is not in vain for my second brother to save you!"
Zhang Laoer smiled and looked at Chen Xi with a very pleased look. He could risk his own life to protect his two children, which shows that this boy is loyal and knows how to be grateful.
After knowing that this was Pingding Mountain, Chen Xi let his two children take him around every day. In his previous life, he was no stranger to Pingding Mountain and had visited here several times.
"Little brother! Why are you having more fun shopping than us? We are all exhausted and our feet are worn out, but you look quite happy?"
When sitting down to rest, Zhang Qiaozhen said curiously, and Chen Xi smiled and said: "Haha, there are treasures everywhere here, of course you won't be tired from shopping!"
Pingdingshan Coal Mining Company in later generations was a large national enterprise, and Chen Xi also went here for research and inspection. Now that he is reborn and returns here, he has no desire to revisit his old place.
"Bao!? Where is it?"
Two little guys rushed forward, one grabbed Chen Xi's arm and the other grabbed Chen Xi's leg. They were afraid that Chen Xi would run away with some rare treasure. Chen Xi held up the object in his hand and said happily: "This that is!"
It was a black and shiny stone that Chen Xi had just picked up.
"Ghost curse stone? Hahahaha..."
The two siblings burst into laughter and burst into tears. They pointed at Chen Xi and were speechless. That stone is coal. Low-quality coal is brownish-black, dark in color, and contains little carbon. High-quality coal is black. It has semi-bright luster, few impurities and high carbon content.
Amid the laughter of the two children, Chen Xi realized the whole story. When the Wei tribesmen dug wells, they would sometimes dig coal seams. The coal seams were hard, so it took a lot of effort to dig them out. During the process of digging wells, they dug coal seams. There will be gas in the hole, causing the person who dug the well to be inexplicably comatose and die due to lack of oxygen. If the coal is encountered when digging the well, it is like being cursed by an evil spirit in the eyes of the tribe, so it is called "ghost-cursed stone".
"Dig a well?"
Chen Xi was very confused. The coal in his hand was bituminous coal, which was of very high quality. Generally, bituminous coal was buried deep underground. The deepest of a well was only about 20 meters. After thinking about it, he understood that due to the tectonic movement of the earth's crust, the coal seams had formed. Fractures caused some coal seams to sink deeper, while others were pushed to the shallower surface or even exposed to the surface.
"If you use this as a treasure, you won't even believe it, so why not throw it away! Beware of the evil in your heart!"
Zhang Qiaozhen shouted. The tribesmen would dig wells and throw them into the mountains in the north. Occasionally, they would see one or two pieces on the roadside. Chen Xi smiled helplessly and couldn't explain it, so he had to throw them away first.
Returning to the center of the clan, they passed by a temple. This was the ancestral temple of the Wei tribe. It was hidden among green trees. The earth-yellow temple walls and blue-gray roof gave off the atmosphere of vicissitudes of life. The four corners of the temple stretched out, and at the end there was It is a four-headed dragon. The carving of the dragon is very detailed, and the image of the dragon fluttering about to fly is lifelike.
