Hetao, Meng Tu looked at the letterhead in his hand, his face showed hesitation, Li Qing did not urge, in fact, Li Qing did not know whether the thing Meng Ying gave him was useful or not.

Meng Tu hesitated for a moment and said, "Lord Li Qing, you said you want to borrow troops?" Did you know that it is a capital offense to use armor without an order? ”

Li Qing smiled bitterly and nodded, of course Li Qing knew that the soldiers and horses were not so easy to mobilize, but when he thought of the people who died tragically in Ao Feng, Li Qing couldn't help but want to avenge them, but Li Qing knew that with the little strength under Li Qing's own command, there was no way to defeat the caravan of the Wu clan, so he had to put his hope on the Mengjia army stationed in Hetao.

Meng Tu sighed, the token that Li Qing took out was the Meng family's sword talisman of only ten yuan, and those who could be given the sword talisman by the Meng family were the closest friends of the Meng family, Meng Tu wanted to help Li Qing very much, but Li Qing wanted to borrow troops, and it was indeed not something that Meng Tu could easily decide.

After thinking about it, Montu said: "Lord Li Qing, I can't make my own decisions about borrowing soldiers, but I can send four hundred armor soldiers to escort my lord, and if there is any danger on the road, they will definitely swear to protect my lord." ”

When Li Qing heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said gratefully: "So, thank you general." ”

Four hundred elite border troops, plus Li Qing's remaining ninety or so soldiers, and nearly five hundred well-equipped Qin soldiers, were enough to defeat Wu's caravan.

"Hetao garrison, former military captain, Fan Cheng, I've seen adults."

A dark-faced man came to Li Qing and gave a military salute.

Li Qing nodded with satisfaction and said, "Thank you to the general for coming to help, Li Qing is grateful." ”

Fan Cheng laughed and said: "Your Excellency is polite, you are a friend of the Meng family, that is, a friend of my 200,000 garrison in Hetao, General Meng said, I am responsible for bringing people to protect the adults to Hanzhong, before arriving in Hanzhong, no matter who it is, don't want to threaten the adults." ”

"Second Tiger, why is this operation so hasty, now in this season, it is obviously not time to go to the Yueshi yet."

A thin man with a grass root in his mouth asked a middle-aged strong man beside him, and his tone seemed to be quite complaining.

Erhu shook his head and said, "I heard that it seems that because of the matter of Ao Feng, the head of the family wants us to go out for a while. ”

The thin man is called Zhao Li, he was originally a nobleman of Zhao State, after the fall of Zhao State, he had no choice but to live in Wushi, and when he heard Erhu say that it was because of Aofeng, Zhao Li couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

Zhao Li said coldly: "I said that I directly set a fire to burn the temple of the white butcher, you just said that you were afraid that the fire would attract the attention of others, but now it's good, you didn't burn the temple of the white thief, and someone else came to him." ”

Erhu knew that Zhao Li hated Bai Qi deeply, and those women and children in Bai Qi's old department were Zhao Li who took the lead in killing, otherwise, the original plan was just to force Bai Qi's old department to hand over Bai Qi's codex, and he didn't want to slaughter Ao Feng, if it weren't for Zhao Li and others to kill, things might not have gotten so far.

Li Qing and the others stood on the hillside, looking at the Wu clan caravan that was gradually approaching, and Li Qing's face showed a slight nervousness.

There are a total of 1,000 people in the Wu caravan, but there are only five or six hundred people who really have force, and the rest are just some traders and slaves, so it stands to reason that in front of the elite of the five hundred Qin army, they should not have much power to resist.

"No, those cars are not just loaded with goods, but also people."

As a veteran in the army, Fan Cheng could see at a glance that there were still many figures hidden in the carriage of the Wu clan's caravan, and he couldn't help but wonder.

Li Qing said very unexpectedly: "Could it be that the Wu clan still has ambush soldiers hidden in the carriage?" Do they know that I can't deal with them? ”

At this time, Qing suddenly spoke: "I have heard that the Wu clan once sold slaves outside the customs, perhaps, the carriage was not an ambush, but slaves. ”

"Human trafficking, this Wu clan should be killed."

When Li Qing heard that the Wu clan was still engaged in human trafficking, a killing intent suddenly welled up in his eyes.

Fan Cheng sneered: "That's fine, Master Li, I don't need you to make a move today, he Wu clan violated the ban of Great Qin and sold slaves privately, and I, as the captain of Great Qin, should take them down." ”

Wu Huan, the elder of the Wu clan, the master of this caravan, rashly transported the goods out of the customs this time, Wu Huan actually did not agree, because the border generals who were related to the Wu clan were now on duty, and the Wu clan caravan wanted to get out of the customs smoothly, so it could only use heavy money to re-buy other border generals, so there were many more variables.

"Driving"

A puff of smoke and dust rose in the distance, Wu Huan was shocked, and hurriedly ordered to be on guard, and the Wu clan guards formed a formation one after another, protecting the carriage transporting goods in the middle.

"It's Qin Jun."

Wu Huan saw the people clearly, it turned out to be a Qin army, about four or five hundred people, most of them were cavalry, under the banner of the Meng family, Wu Huan knew that this should be the Meng family army stationed in the Hetao area.

Wu Huan waved his hand to signal the guards to put away their weapons, and then urged the horse to meet the Qin army with a smile.

Fan Cheng looked at Wuhuan and said coldly: "Who are you and why are you here?" ”

Wu Huan said with a smile: "General, we are the Wu clan caravan, and we are going to buy horses for Daqin before leaving the customs. ”

After finishing speaking, Wuhuan waved his hand, and immediately several servants walked out carrying a box, Wuhuan dismounted, opened the box, and suddenly the treasure was overflowing, and in this box, it turned out to be a box full of orbs.

Wuhuan pointed to the box and said: "The general has worked hard all the way, this box of gifts should be a gift for my Wu clan to reward the three armies." ”

Fan Cheng looked at the glittering treasure in the box, and suddenly laughed: "Hahahahaha, bold Diao Min, you are trying to buy the border army, you Wu are so bold, come here, take them down for me." ”

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers of the Qin army, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately raised the Changge in their hands and surrounded the Wu caravan.

Wu Huan didn't expect Fan Cheng to suddenly change his face, looking at the spear against his throat, Wu Huan swallowed his saliva and was speechless for a while.

Fan Cheng snorted coldly: "Seize all the goods and let the Wu clan collect it himself." ”

As soon as he heard that the goods were to be seized, Wuhuan was in a hurry, since Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, he ordered that slaves should not be sold privately, slave trade, only the government can, if others dare to trade slaves privately, they will raid their homes at the least, and they will be exterminated at worst.

"Fight."

In the crowd, I don't know who suddenly shouted, and the Wu clan guards drew their weapons one after another, shouting and attacking the Qin army.

"Look for death."

A hint of coldness flashed in Fan Cheng's eyes, a group of rabble, even daring to make a move with the elite of the Qin army, really didn't know whether to live or die.
