When the sun was in the west, Qin Xiaogong returned to the city.

When he came to the gate of the palace, he was about to dismount, but he heard a rumbling sound coming from behind him. When I turned around, I saw a team of chariots rushing towards me, and the drivers were all young soldiers!

Qin Xiaogong was surprised, the old chariots in Liyang City had long been abandoned, how could there be so many young soldiers driving chariots on the streets?

At this moment, a young general on the first chariot raised his hand and shouted, "Stop——! More than a dozen chariots came to a rumbling stop. Qin Xiaogong dismounted next to the big tree on the side of the street, wanting to see what kind of military this chariot was doing?

At this time, I saw the little general with a sword jumping off the chariot neatly, leaning over to inspect the wheels in front of the chariot in the middle, knocking and beating, but it was not over for a moment. Qin Xiaogong joined the army as a young man and was quite familiar with the chariot, so he couldn't help but walk to the chariot and ask, "Is the chariot sick?" "The young general didn't look up," the driving sound was wrong, and he hadn't found out the car disease yet. ”

Qin Xiaogong said: "You get up, I'll try the car." The young general looked up and saw a general wearing a soft armor cloak standing in front of him, and hurriedly said, "Yes, please test the general." ”

Qin Xiaogong skillfully stepped onto the chariot, drove forward and turned back for a while, and jumped off the chariot: "This chariot, the axle is too worn, and it is about to break, so it needs to be replaced with a new axle." ”

The young general showed a look of admiration and said loudly: "General, the last general will immediately replace the new shaft!" Qin Xiaogong asked: "What is the use of these old chariots?" ”

The young general said solemnly: "Report to the general, the soldiers of the Qin State are few and weak, and the last general wants to let these new soldiers who have not been on the battlefield learn to kill the chariots, in case of a crisis, these old chariots can also be sent to the battlefield!" ”

Qin Xiaogong was greatly relieved and said with a smile: "You have this expectation, you can be called a talent." How old is this year? It turned out to be a Black Hawk swordsman? Qin Xiaogong pointed to the iron black eagle on the young general's chest and admired in surprise. This Black Eagle Emblem was the Qin Army's special mark for the best in the swordsmanship competition, and it was extremely difficult to obtain.

The young general stepped forward and bowed his hand, "The last general is eighteen years old this year, and when he was sixteen years old, he was a colonel in the army, and he got the Black Eagle Swordsman." ”

Qin Xiaogong smiled in surprise: "Sixteen years old? A year before me? What about the name? ”

"The last general, Che Ying, is called Che Ying in the army."

Qin Xiaogong's heart moved, thoughtful: "Ziche? Ziche's? You, do you have a relationship with the three heroes of the Ziche clan in Mu Gongshi? ”

The young general groaned slightly, and said in a low voice: "General, Mu Gongzi Che is the ancestor of the last general. ”

In an instant, Qin Xiaogong was pleasantly surprised. The three heroes of the Ziche clan, those were the three famous generals and virtuous ministers during the time of Qin Mugong. When Mu Gong was about to die, he was in a commotion, and he actually ordered the martyrdom of these three compatriot heroes, which caused deep sorrow among the old Qin people, and the song of the death spread all over the fields and mountain villages of the Qin State, and then spread to the eastern countries.

The three sages were martyred, the Ziche clan was wiped out, and the Qin State also strangely declined. For more than 100 years after that, there were no famous generals and ministers in the Qin State.

This is a long night in the Qin State, and it is also a tragic story that the old Qin people are familiar with. As a monarch, Qin Xiaogong couldn't be more familiar with this period of history. Often in the middle of the night, he would hum the deep and sad ballad in his study, silently reflecting on his heart, and motivating himself not to repeat the mistakes of his ancestors.

Today, when he unexpectedly met the descendants of the Ziche family, a hot current suddenly gushed out of his chest, and he stepped forward to grab the young general's hands, "Che Ying, can you sing that song "Yellow Bird"?" ”

The young general nodded tearfully, "General, you can also sing "Yellow Bird"? ”

"Heart sacrifice sages, let's sing together." Qin Xiaogong was also in tears.

Che Ying said in a trembling voice: "General, this is in front of the national mansion, let's not sing "Yellow Bird". ”

Qin Xiaogong said loudly: "Che Ying, I am the monarch Yingquliang, sing it......"

In an instant, Che Ying's tears flowed, she fell to her knees, and choked, "Your Majesty——! ”

This song "Yellow Bird" carries the deep thoughts of the old Qin people for the three heroes of the Ziche family, and also implies the heavy condemnation of Qin Mugong. What a thrilling omen it is for the monarch to sing "The Yellow Bird" today!

How could a young and wise general be indifferent to his family's suffering? For a while, he burst into tears. At this time, the young soldiers on the chariot also got off the chariot and knelt down and shouted, "Your Excellency——! ”

Qin Xiaogong helped Che Ying up, and waved to the young soldiers: "Come, let's sing "Yellow Bird", remember the sages, and introspect vigorously. As he spoke, he picked up Che Ying and the young soldiers, stepped on the heavy steps of the Qin people at the funeral, and sang the low and sad "Yellow Bird":

The intersecting yellow bird stops at the thorns

Who is dying from Mu Gongzi's car

The sky destroys my beloved

If you can redeem the human being, you will have a hundred bodies

The yellow bird stops at the mulberry

Who from Mu Gongzi Che Zhongxing

The sky destroys my beloved

If you can redeem the human being, you will have a hundred bodies

The handover of the yellow bird stops at Chu

Who from Mu Gongzi car tiger

The sky destroys my beloved

If you can redeem the wicked, a hundred people......

When Qin Xiaogong excitedly pulled Che Ying back to the study of the political hall, it was already dusk. Qin Xiaogong happily instructed Hei Bo to settle the wine and meat, and talked with Che Ying about drinking. Seeing the smiling face that the monarch had never had, Hebo was also very happy and brisk.

Che Ying tearfully recounted the ups and downs of more than 2,000 members of the Ziche clan who fled to Longxi, and Qin Xiaogong sighed and wept when he heard it, and he was overwhelmed with emotion. Thinking that the foundation of the Ziche clan is still in Longxi, I can't help but worry, there will be a big war there, isn't the Ziche clan in danger of extinction?

He asked with a worried face: "Che Yinghe, do you know the situation in the west?" Che Ying nodded and said, "I know it generally." Qin Xiao said fairly: "Longxi has become a dangerous state, does the head of the Ziche clan know?" ”

Che Ying shook his head and said: "The clan doesn't know, but our army will be able to win the battle, and the king doesn't need to worry about it." Qin Xiaogong sighed heavily, and told the wise and handsome young man in front of him about the danger that Qin Guo was facing and the dilemma in Longxi, and finally said: "Che Yinghe, you take me with a warrant and hurry to Longxi, I will order Zuo Chang Yingqian to give you three thousand iron horses, and transfer the fastest secret of the Ziche clan to the area of Chencang." Ziche can't be wiped out. ”

Che Ying didn't answer, and raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, the army secretly marched into Longxi, which was originally a surprise blow to the rebellion. If a large army of men and horses were to move the people, it would alert the rebellious tribes. Che Ying thinks that the national disaster should be the first priority and the chaos should be put first. ”

Qin Xiaogong couldn't help but sigh with emotion - just a few words, it showed the true righteousness of the Ziche clan! He was sincerely amazed that the young man in front of him, who had not yet been crowned in age, had such calm courage, nodded and muttered: "Che Ying, you said it very well. However, how could the Qin State sit idly by and watch the Ziche clan suffer another catastrophe? ”

"Your Majesty, there will be a plan in the end to induce a rebellion to break out early, I don't know if it is feasible?"

"Okay, say it! I'm having a hard time. Qin Xiaogong was very excited.

"The king sent an agent, pretending to be an envoy of Wei, to test the Longxi tribe, if they are really ready for the rebellion, they can agree to advance the date of the rebellion. At that time, my 50,000 iron horsemen will ambush in the main road and canyon that must be passed through in the east, and gather and annihilate them in one drum. ”

"Smack!" With a loud bang, Qin Xiaogong patted the case and said, "Okay! What a whimsy! He couldn't help but laugh out loud, and it was a sonic shock to the house. After laughing, Qin Xiaogong turned around and said, "Che Ying, I didn't expect to meet you today, the will of God." I'll send you to do this great thing, how about it? ”

Che Ying got up and solemnly bowed his hand, "The last general will definitely live up to his mission!" ”

Qin Xiaogong smiled and said, "Che Ying, from today onwards, you are the former commander of the army of Zuo Chang Yingqian!" ”

"Obey the king's orders!" Che Ying is heroic, but there is no impetuous atmosphere.

"Che Yinghe, you still have to go with me to meet the Queen Mother, his old man wants to know that you are a descendant of the Ziche family, I don't know how happy I should be."

"Your Majesty, when the country is at stake, I want to go to Longxi in the starry night. After returning from the battlefield, Che Yingdang reported the victory to the king and the queen mother. Cha Ying's eyes glistened with tears.

"You want to go west tonight?" Qin Xiaogong was surprised.

"Your Majesty, if you have a strange plan, you will be a soldier and a fast soldier. Che Ying arrived a day early, and our army had a chance of winning. ”

Qin Xiaogong was full of emotion, patted Che Ying on the shoulder and said, "Good general." In this way, we are ready immediately. Hei Bo, sent a message to Liyang Lingzi'an, immediately transferred the iron horse to fifty, and waited in front of the national mansion. ”

Qin Xiaogong naturally informed Qin Jingjian of all this, although Qin Feng was in the Wei State, he still cared about the Qin State, and he was naturally very happy to learn such news.

"Yes!" Heber hurried out of the political hall.

At midnight, Che Ying carried Qin Xiaogong's warrant and the ironclad knight pretending to be the Wei envoy's guard, and out of the west gate of Liyang City, he swept westward like a storm.

At this time, Longxi was still very calm on the surface. But beneath this calm surface lies a huge storm that is about to erupt. The instigation of Zhao's envoys and the promise to occupy the western part of Qin rekindled the dream of the Rongdi tribe that had slumbered in the steppe warring states.

The leaders of the sixteen tribes, including Xiqi, Inuqiu, Daluo, Dali, Hongfa, and Huangfa, made an alliance with blood, and publicly recommended the leader of Xiqi, Chayun Danyu, as the leader of the alliance, and agreed to rebel on the day of the march of the six countries and jointly divide the Qin State!

On behalf of the six countries of the Central Plains, the envoy of Zhao announced that after the elimination of Qin, the six countries will never go west out of the Chencang Valley, and Longxi, Yunzhong, Jiuyuan, Yinshan and Mobei grassland will always be the world of the Rongdi tribe! The entire Rongdi region was stirred up by this stirring promise.

The herdsmen packed their harness and swords, and the shirtless cavalry roared and charged again in the mountains and grasslands of Longxi, and the scattered rebel wildfires were rapidly gathering. The chief of Zuo in the mountains of Longxi was pious, and naturally smelled this strong smell of blood.

But Ying Qian is not a reckless commander, he knows that he must not attack at the moment, and for the sake of the peace of the western part of the Qin State, he can only strike backwards. Although he was anxious about the pressure in the east, he could only see the rebel forces sit large and then fight a tough battle.

Just when Yingqian was anxious, a team of iron horsemen flew into the Longxi Mountains in the dark night. In the secret camp of the Qin army, the lights of the Chinese army's tent were lit all night. At dusk the next day, a group of red-clothed knights, surrounded by a noble Wei merchant, quietly left the valley of the Qin army, galloped north, detoured through the western desert of the Northland, and then hurried south.
