It is unknown when the barbarians in southern China began to interact with the Han people.

But it was Qin Shihuang who formally brought Nanzhong under the control of the Central Plains court.

In the twenty-sixth year of the First Emperor of Qin (221 BC), General Chang Yi was sent to Yelang as an envoy on the order of the First Emperor of Qin, and the territory of the Yelang Kingdom was renamed Yelang and the two counties of Hanyang were placed under the jurisdiction of Shu County.

In order to strengthen his control over Nanzhong, Chang Yan also transformed the plank road dug by his predecessor Li Bing, built the historically famous "Five-foot Road", and set up a postal booth on the "Wuchi Road".

In the years between the fall of Qin and the rise of Han, the Central Plains was in chaos, and Nanzhong took the opportunity to get rid of the control of the Central Plains.

It was not until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Tang Meng, the pioneer of the "Southwestern Silk Road", to visit Yelang again that the Central Plains resumed official contact with Nanzhong.

From the Qin Dynasty to the present, Nanzhong has always been regarded as a barbarian land.

It was this barbarian land, but both Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han never forgot about it and tried to incorporate it into their territory.

In the past, Zhu Ju might have just thought that these two were better and was overly interested in success.

But after what happened last night, I remembered what Feng did to Nanzhong.

I have read a lot of books and know very well what Emperor Qin and Han Wu did throughout their lives, and my thoughts are churning at this time.

The reputation of Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han was so great that Zhu Zhi had to shake his belief.

Could it be that the Qin Emperor, Han Wu, and even Feng Mou's involvement in Nanzhong was really for the so-called Phoenix Guts?

Is Mr. Feng’s original school really located at sea?

Why do you say it is the original?

Of course it's because he is an outcast.

Even the abandoned disciples are so powerful, and the hidden immortal sect is even more unfathomable when you think about it.

Don't blame Zhu Ju for not being firm in his belief. In fact, in this era, the theory of ghosts and gods is too popular.

Not to mention anything else, back then Emperor Sun and Zhang Zhao had talked about immortals in a serious way.

Yu Fan couldn't stand it, and bluntly said that there were no gods in the world, which angered Emperor Sun on the spot, and was eventually demoted to Jiaozhou to feed mosquitoes.

Poor Yu Fan died in Jiaozhou and did not come back alive.

Instead of talking about Yu Fan, let’s talk about Zhang Zhao. Who is that person?

That was the hope of Jiangdong, ranking first among the civil servants of the Wu State, below the Lord of Wu, and the whole country was afraid of him. He was the author of "The Chunqiu Zuo Family's Biography" and "Analects of Confucius", and his posthumous title was "Wen", which shows his important status.

Even he believes that there are gods in the world, let alone others?

The oil lamp had run out of oil, the sky was bright and the sun was rising, so Zhu Ju sat in silence all night.

The guard's report sounded again outside the tent:

"General, there is a group of people coming from outside the camp."

Zhu Ju came back to his senses and frowned in appreciation, but there was no big surprise on his face.

With King Feng Gui's foresight, if this matter hadn't been the key to this person, how could he have sent someone over to test him at the dawn of time?

"How many people are coming? Who will take the lead?"

"General, there are more than a hundred cavalry, led by General Zhao himself."

When Zhu Ju heard this, his eyes flashed, he stood up and took a deep breath:

"Let's go out and take a look."

Zhao Sanqian, the most trusted person under Feng Mingwen, personally led the army. What does this mean?

The remaining doubts in Zhu Ju's heart have disappeared.

Zhu Ju walked to the gate of the camp, and when he saw Zhao Guang, he seemed to be a little impatient. He quickly raised his hands and said with a smile:

"Why is General Zhao here?"

As he spoke, he glanced behind Zhao Guang.

The leader of the Tiger Cavalry Army led more than a hundred cavalry this time, all of whom were lightly armed. It was unknown whether they were soldiers of the Iron Armored Army or elite cavalry from other battalions.

But that's right, after all, you can't run fast with armor on.

When Zhao Guang saw Zhu Ju appearing, he suppressed the anxiety and impatience on his face, forced a smile, and pretended to sigh:

"Forget it, it's just these guys," he turned around and pointed behind him, "These guys have slacked off a lot recently and failed the exam the day before yesterday."

"After my brother found out about this, I was severely scolded."

"No, when I learned that General Zhu was leading the trainee camp out for training, I thought, I might as well bring them over and follow them for training."

What he said is reasonable.

If Zhu Ju hadn't been following the training in the trainee camp, I wouldn't have believed it.

As a general of the Wu Kingdom, he had never seen a battalion with higher training intensity than the Tiger Cavalry Army.

The training of the Tiger Cavalry Army is completely in accordance with the rules of the formation.

That is to say, the Han Dynasty was very wealthy, so it could afford the loss of money, food and war horses for the Tiger Cavalry Army's daily training.

Not to mention that Zhao Guang said he called Feng Mingwen brother, but in fact, Zhu Ju also heard about it:

When Feng Mingwen first came out of the mountain, Zhao Guang learned a lot from him, so it was just that he was both a teacher and a brother.

Therefore, Zhao Guang must know some of Feng Mingwen's secrets.

Coupled with the relationship between the two, it was only natural that Zhao Guang was sent here by Feng Mingwen.

Zhu Ju's heart was spinning, but there was a look of surprise on his face:

"General Zhao can personally guide the trainee camp, that is really what you want!"

An ordinary soldier in the Tiger Cavalry Army can at least lead a team when released.

No matter how bad the exam school is, it is still much better than the internship camp.

not to mention……

Zhu Ju glanced behind Zhao Guang again.

It has been so long, not to mention everyone standing still like a log, indifferent and desolate, not even the horse has moved.

He couldn't see the difference between this team.

"Being polite and being polite means promoting each other."

Zhao Guang said politely, but at the same time he walked directly into the camp without any politeness.

"General Zhu's trip went smoothly?"

Zhao Guang entered the camp, looked left and right, and asked casually.

Zhu Ju already knew the other party's true intention, and he also knew that his little actions last night could not be hidden from the other party:

"It went smoothly, but something happened outside the camp last night, so we didn't break camp in time today."

"Oh?" Zhao Guang looked away, as if he didn't expect the other party to be so honest, "But I don't know what happened last night?"

"Fight." Zhu Ju frowned slightly, with a look of confusion on his face, but his eyes were inquiring and his attitude was just right. "Last night, nearly twenty riders fought outside the camp."

Zhao Guang's eyes flickered, and he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. He didn't look at Zhu Ju, "Really? Well, I mean, did General Zhu discover anything last night?"

Oh, it’s not that I heard something hidden, but that I discovered something?

Zhu Ju smiled secretly, Zhao Yiwen was too young after all.

Zhao Guang seemed to realize that his question was too straightforward, and quickly made up for it:

"I mean, since there was a fight outside the camp, General Zhu didn't send anyone out to take a look last night?"

Zhu Ju had already expected this question, shook his head, and then nodded again:

"After all, the trainee camp is coming from Dawu, so it is not suitable to get into trouble. Besides, if it is not necessary at night, the camp should be guarded and not moved. I still know this."

As Zhu Ju spoke, he led Zhao Guang to a corner of the camp and pointed in a certain direction:

"The place where the fight took place last night was right there. I couldn't see how many people there were, and I couldn't speak clearly. I couldn't see what they were doing, and I couldn't hear what they were saying..."

What's unclear?

Zhao Guang glanced at Zhu Ju suspiciously.

Zhu Ju's face did not change color.

Zhao Guang rolled his eyes and looked in the direction pointed by Zhu Ju, feeling a little surprised and confused.

"Did General Zhu really just watch and do nothing last night?"

"That's not true." Zhu Ju pointed to another place. "Two horses rushed into the ditch last night, so I dragged them into the village."

When Zhao Guang heard this, he quickly asked: "Where are the two horses?"

"They are all here, but their front legs have been broken and are useless. I am still worried about how to send them back to Chang'an. General Zhao is here just in time, and it saves me from sending someone back to report to the official."

Although this is not the Chang'an area, it is still near Chang'an.

An organized group of twenty or so unknown persons mounted on horseback. This was no ordinary security incident.
