The reason why the young marshal army was able to survive the fierce counterattack of the Qin army and develop rapidly was that in fact, the Qin army of Donghai County definitely contributed a lot, when the Qin army of the two counties of Yu County and Duo County launched an attack on the lower phase, if the Qin army of Xiapi County or Ling County of Donghai County also sent troops in time to stab the young marshal army from behind, then whether the young marshal army could survive that pass was a big question.

However, it is a pity that the Qin army in Xiapi and Ling County missed this best opportunity, because the Qin army in Surabaya at that time was too light on the enemy, thinking that the self-army had absolute certainty that it could kill the pure rabble of the young marshal army, and did not ask for help from the Qin army in Donghai County in time; The second is that the officials of the Qin Dynasty in Xiapi and Ling County did not want to do much, and did not want to help the officials of the neighboring counties to be rewarded for their meritorious service by contributing both money and effort, so they watched the Qin army defeat under the shameless trickery of the young marshal's army.

If the Qin army in the East China Sea, which was still relatively peaceful at that time, gathered the main force of the county soldiers in time to go south, then even if the young marshal army could survive this pass, there would definitely be no chance to capture the three counties of Xu to expand their territory and strengthen their strength, but it was still a pity that the Qin army in the East China Sea still missed this opportunity. The reason for missing the fighter plane is still that Sun Qing, the county guard of Donghai County, refused to make a wedding dress for others, and took the risk of confronting the main force of the young marshal army head-on Zhao Zhuang, the county guard of Surabaya for nothing, even if he agreed to Zhao Zhuang's request for help and prepared to send troops, he only planned to make a move after Zhao Zhuang contained the main force of the young marshal army, and easily took the empty city in the rear of the young marshal's army, and earned the maximum gain at the minimum cost.

Under such circumstances, the initiative of the young marshal army to strike first certainly disrupted the wishful thinking of the Qin army of Donghai County, forcing Gongsun Qing to temporarily adjust the plan and send troops in a hurry, and what Gongsun Qing did not expect was that the Qin army in Surabaya would be defeated so quickly and so miserably, and it was killed by the young marshal army in just three days and fled. As a result, Gongsun Qing, who had already led the army south, suddenly fell into an embarrassing situation, continue to go south, it is not certain to fight alone, and it may repeat Zhao Zhuang's mistakes; If you don't go south, the soldiers and horses have already been dispatched, and they will withdraw to Tancheng without fighting, and there is no way to explain to the imperial court, and they are destined to only destroy their own ambition and grow the prestige of the young marshal's army.

It was really a last resort, Gongsun Qing could only pull the army to Xiapi first, and then said, ready that even if he couldn't destroy the young marshal's army, he could warn the young marshal's army not to attack the idea of Donghai County, and first keep the safety of his own territory, and then consider the next plan.

The sudden outbreak of the Lingxian civil uprising once again disrupted Gongsun Qing's calculations, but it also made Gongsun Qing quietly relieved, knowing that he had the opportunity to get off the donkey and explain to the imperial court, and at the same time, in the case of a short distance, Gongsun Qing also made up his mind early, ready to personally lead 3,000 troops to the east, to kill Qin Jia's gang of Lingxian thieves who did not know the height of the sky, not only killing chickens to show monkeys, but also proving to the Great Qin court that he did not have the courage to fight with the young marshal's army, but that his backyard caught fire, and he must first sweep away the hidden dangers in the rear.

But the plan never changed quickly, just when Gongsun Qing was actively arranging preparations for the expedition, the Qin army scouts in the Maling Mountain area suddenly escorted a messenger from the young marshal army, and also submitted the letter that Xiang Kang asked Zhou Zeng to write in front of Gongsun Qing, but after carefully reading Xiang Kang's letter, Gongsun Qing's face was of course how ugly and ugly it was, and once again he felt that he was difficult to ride a tiger, and he didn't know how to choose.

"Junzun, what's wrong? What did Xiang Kang, the traitor, say in the letter? ”

Seeing that Gongsun Qing's expression was wrong, Cheng Guanhu, the county lieutenant who assisted Gongsun Qing in commanding the troops south, opened his mouth, and inquired curiously about the reason, Gongsun Qing had no meaning to conceal it, so he directly handed the letter to Guan Hu, Guan Gu was shocked after seeing it, and said in a lost voice: "Xiang Kang's traitor has hooked up with Qin Jia's rebel thief?" And the Covenant was concluded? So fast? ”

"It's not surprising that they're all rebels." Gongsun Qing didn't doubt the authenticity of Xiang Kang's claim to have formed an alliance with Qin Jia, but frowned and said: "It's troublesome now, although Qin Jia's rebels have just begun to rebel, and they haven't become any climate, so it's not difficult to deal with, but after we send troops to the east, what should we do if Xiang Kang's rebels really send troops to defeat Pi?" Xiapi, but our East China Sea is the first place of money and grain. ”

"Junzun, but we can't watch Qin Jia's rebel thief grow up in Ling County and become the second Xiang Kang rebel thief." Guan Gu hurriedly reminded: "If Qin Jia's rebel thief is given time to strengthen his thief's power, and he encourages more Ling County Diao people to join his thief army, not only will the situation in Ling County be more difficult to control, but he and Xiang Kang's rebel thief may also join forces to attack us." ”

After thinking carefully for a long time, Gongsun Qing made up his mind and said: "Change the plan to send troops, I will stay in Xiapicheng with the main force, and you will take a thousand troops to Ling County to help the county soldiers of Ling County exterminate Qin Jia's rebels." ”

Guan Hu looked embarrassed, and hesitated and said: "Junzun, it's not the subordinates who prevaricate, you can let the subordinates send troops, but the subordinates are really not sure that they will be able to exterminate Qin Jia's rebels." Because you also know that the east of Ling County is vast and sparsely populated, and the terrain is open, and it is difficult to annihilate, which is the most suitable for bandits to wander, and the subordinates only bring a thousand troops over, which is like sprinkling a handful of salt into the sea, and it is difficult to guarantee the rapid annihilation of Qin Jia's rebels. (Note: At that time, Lianshui, Shuyang, Guannan and Guanyun counties did not exist, and there were no cities from the east of Lingxian to the East China Sea.) ）

"I don't want you to annihilate, as long as you drive Qin Jia's rebels into Surabaya County." Gongsun Qing still has a bit of vision, and he saw the only feasible way at a glance, and said: "After you arrive in Ling County, you only need to collect all the wild valleys and enter the city, so that Qin Jia's rebels have no food to do, and then send troops to expel him to the west as much as possible, and force him to go west to Surabaya to join Xiang Kang's rebels, and then our affairs will be much easier." ”

Of course, this request put forward by Gongsun Qing was much easier than letting Guan Hu go to completely annihilate Qin Jia's department, so Guan Hu did not hesitate, quickly nodded and agreed, and hurried down to prepare under the urging of Gongsun Ce, planning to lead the troops to Ling County today to arrange preparations, and try not to give Qin Jia's rebel army a chance to develop and grow. However, the matter was not over, just as Gongsun Ce was still thinking about how to deal with the messenger sent by the young marshal's army, there was a personal report from outside the tent, presenting Gongsun Qing with an urgent report from Xutai County that he had just received.

The content of the emergency report in Xutai County made Gongsun Qing so surprised that he roared directly - in the Dongyang County City adjacent to Xutai, a group of ranger teenagers actually directly killed the county order of Dongyang County, and set up a Dongyang official named Chen Ying as the leader, not only occupied Dongyang County in one fell swoop, but also directly pulled up an army of thousands of people, and because Dongyang County Temple was directly occupied by the rebels, Xutai County Temple, which could not directly know the news of Dongyang, confirmed this situation and sent an emergency warning to Gongsun Qing, Dongyang County was already in a state of erosion. The size of the Dongyang rebels has also expanded to several thousand!

After being shocked in disbelief, he was extremely dazed, and at a loss, Gongsun Qing couldn't help but have such a thought, and said secretly: "Is the world really going to be in chaos?" Is Da Qin really going to die? Otherwise, why would the leaders and common people of the world rebel one after another? ”

After having an ominous feeling, Gongsun Qing couldn't help but glance at the letter sent by Xiang Kanggang - on the letter, in addition to threatening and intimidating, Xiang Kang also pointed out to Gongsun Qing the truth that the tyrannical Qin would die, and at the same time strongly persuaded Gongsun Qing to go with the sky and directly lead the county soldiers of Donghai County to directly rebel against the Qin court.

Although there was some vacillation, although this vacillation did not make Gongsun Qing lose his mind, but after calming down, in order to leave a way out for himself, Gongsun Qing still made a wise decision, that is, under the pretext that the two countries were fighting each other, he ordered the envoy sent by the young marshal army to be escorted to the border of Xia Xiang County and released, so that he could return to Xia Xiang County on his own.

…………

Without the Qin Dynasty's official government's perfect postal transmission system, and understanding the outside world all relied on careful inquiries and hearsay, Xiang Kang certainly could not have been like Sun Qing, the Shougong of Donghai County, who knew so early in the territory of Dongyang County, Donghai County, that a late Qin ox man raised troops to rebel. So when Gongsun Qing received this amazing news, Xiang Kang could only honestly bring a team of personal soldiers and accompany the Yu family sisters to return to Shiling Pavilion to visit the Yu family father and son, and respectfully invited the Yu family father and son to move to Xiaxiang City again.

In fact, it is to go through the motions and say some nonsense, seeing that Xiang Kang was invincible in the southern and northern wars after raising troops, the young marshal's army was growing and growing every day and winning consecutive battles, and the father and son of the Yu family had already repented of their intestines in their stomachs, so after meeting and just talking nonsense, Xiang Kang once again proposed to invite the father and son of the Yu family to move to the county town, Yu Jian and Yu Zhi just twisted and pinched a few words, and soon couldn't resist Xiang Kang's 'repeated pleas', and agreed on the spot to visit the city with Xiang Kang first, and then decide whether to move the family to the city of Xiaxiang.

I can't get used to the twisted attitude of the Yu family's father and son, but after all, Yu Jian is already his de facto father-in-law, Xiang Kang still politely put Yu Jian into the carriage with his own hands, traveled with him, and returned to Xia Xiang with the servant, and set up a family banquet in the back hall of the Xia Xiang County Temple, and entertained the Yu family father and son with the Yu family sisters, and was forced to return the white food and drink that he had led the children of the Xiang family to the Yu family before.

Still very helpless, set up a family banquet to entertain his future father-in-law, of course Xiang Kang had to invite the elders to accompany him, but of course the two uncles and aunts were happy to obey their orders, and Xiang Bo was even more unkind, in addition to coming to the back hall to put his elders on the shelf, he also called his two sons Xiang You and Xiang Sui to the scene, and the whole family ate Xiang Kang's wine and meat and good dishes for nothing.

It was finally Uncle Xiang's turn to be the master of the house, above the family banquet, Xiang Kang, who was a junior, could only listen with one ear, and couldn't talk too much, while Uncle Xiang was spitting, constantly boasting to the father and son of the Yu family about the glory of the ancestors of the old Xiang family, and the words were all about the old Yu family's ability to marry their daughter to the children of the Xiang family is the meaning of the ancestral grave smoking, and the elders accumulating virtue, fortunately, the father and son of the Yu family have also recognized the reality clearly, and know that their family is indeed a little high to marry the Xiang family now, so not only does they not have any disgust with Xiang Bo's words, also nodded modestly again and again, which made Xiang Bo rarely show his majesty.

It was only later that Xiang Kang found out that Xiang Bo deliberately called his two sons together with bad intentions, and after boasting enough of the scenery of the ancestors of the old Xiang family, Xiang Bo suddenly changed his words, smiled and said to Yu Jian: "Yu Gong, there is something to discuss with you, what do you think of my dog Xiang You?" ”

Following Xiang Bo's guidance, Yu Jian turned his head to look at Xiang You suspiciously, Xiang You, who had already known that there would be this one, was so excited that his cheeks were red, and he quickly sat up straight, putting on a well-behaved appearance, Xiang Bo took the opportunity to say again: "Although my dog is not very competitive, he is also the direct descendant of Wu Xinjun of our Chu State, in terms of bloodline, he and the bloodline of my father Wu Xinjun are still closer than Kang'er." Since he was a child, he has been studying and practicing swords, he can write and know martial arts, and now he is the captain of the official residence, and he has made great contributions in the Fuli War a few days ago, and the future is unlimited, Yu Gong, what do you think of him? ”

"All-round talent in civil and military affairs, all-round talent in civil and military affairs." Yu Jian nodded politely and complimented, and said casually: "In fact, as early as when our Yu family dared to cling to Xiang Gong's family, the old man had already seen that Xiang Gong's sons and nephews were all dragons and phoenixes among people, and their future was limitless. ”

"So Gong Yu, how about we have a kiss and a kiss?" Xiang Botu saw the dagger and said with a smile on his face: "My dog has not been married yet, since you have already promised your eldest daughter to the old man's beloved nephew Xiang Kang, why don't you give me your second daughter and give me this dog?" Gong Yu, the old man personally begged for it, you won't give this face, right? ”

"I'm not married!"

Shi Po was shocked, and before Yu Jian could react, the little girl Yu Yao, who was sitting under Yu Miaoge, had already stood up and said with a straight face: "I don't want to marry, I don't want to marry now, and I will never marry in the future!" ”

Everyone was stunned, and their expressions were different, among them, two of the uncles, Xiang Bo, Yu Jian and Xiang Sui and other outsiders were of course dumbfounded, and they didn't expect that Yu Jiao's little girl would refuse so directly and firmly, Yu Miaoge had already expected it, and was expressionless, Xiang Kang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, not only hating Xiang Bo's brazenness, but also somewhat moved his sister-in-law's loyalty to him. Xiang You's reaction was the most complicated, first glanced at the little girl Yu Jiao with a firm expression, and then quietly glanced at Xiang Kang, vaguely understanding the real reason why his sweetheart insisted on not marrying him.

It was only after Yu Ji reiterated his position that he would never marry that Xiang Bo came back to his senses and said with a forced smile: "Miss Yu Jiao, you have something to say, don't be so excited, as the so-called male should get married, and the female should marry, you are not too young, it's time to discuss your life's events." ”

After that, Xiang Bo turned to Yu Miaoge again, and asked with some doubts: "Miss Miaoge, when the old man mentioned this matter to you yesterday, didn't you promise the old man to ask your sister's opinion?" How......? ”

"Uncle forgive me, the little girl talked to Xiang Lang too late last night, and when I went back, my sister had already slept, so I didn't have time yet." Yu Miaoge rarely lied once.

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, it's the same today." Uncle Xiang smiled very generously, then turned to Yu Jian and said: "Gong Yu, since ancient times, the father has the final say in the affairs of children and daughters, and Miss Yu Ji can't twist this bend for a while, but she will soon figure it out, or you will be the master, and now you will give this matter a decision." ”

"I repeat, I don't want to get married!" Yu Yu spoke again, and said in an extremely firm tone: "No one can be the master for me, Ah Weng, if you dare to let me go, I will run away from the marriage and cut off the relationship with the family!" ”

During the Qin Dynasty, the status of women was okay, although most women were married by their fathers, but there were still many women who chose to make their own decisions, and would rather run away from marriage or elope than be at the mercy of others - the white rich wife of Zhang Er, a celebrity in the late Qin Dynasty, is a typical example of this. So after listening to Yu Jiao's words, Xiang Bo's expression was of course how embarrassed and embarrassing it was, but Yu Jian was furious and scolded: "Bold! How can you say such a thing as a girl? ”

"Why can't I say something like that?" The little girl Yu sneered and said, "Ah Weng, if you don't believe it, you can give me a try, you see if I can escape!" ”

"You're ......! So bold! ”

Yu Jian, who is not in good health, was so angry that he couldn't even speak smartly, but fortunately, there were two kind-hearted uncles and aunts present, and they stood up to persuade and persuade them, so that the father and daughter of the Yu family could talk well, and they must not turn good things into bad things, and the third uncle and aunt who were weak by nature rarely complained about their husbands, and said: "Husband, why are you so anxious? Yu Gong has just entered the city, and you are in such a hurry to ask for marriage, isn't it embarrassing? ”

"You know what? Long hair and short knowledge, get out of the way! Xiang Bo scolded angrily, and completely exposed his true face.

Of course, Xiang Bo didn't choose the right time for his tantrum this time, when Xiang Bo was powerful in the young marshal's army, it was because he had the identity of an elder to protect his body, and no one dared to do anything to him, but this time there was a second uncle and aunt of Xiang Liang's wife who was above him, and just saw that the concubine was yelled at by Xiang Bo to wipe her tears, and the second uncle and aunt immediately stood up and put up a sister-in-law shelf to scold and teach Xiang Bo, Xiang Bo was angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to mess with the order of the elder and young, so he could only nod his head again and again, and was forced by the second uncle to apologize to the third uncle in public.

When the family banquet was in chaos, Xiang Kang, who was absolutely reluctant to marry off his beautiful sister-in-law, also had an idea, and leaned into Yu Miaoge's ear and whispered: "Miaoge, you persuade your Ah Weng, just say that this matter is not urgent, the little sister is still young, it is better to live a year or two, and wait for the little sister to figure it out." ”

If it weren't for the fact that his temper was really supple, Yu Miaoge really had the urge to smash a wine glass on Xiang Kang's head, and after glancing at Xiang Kang angrily, Yu Miaoge asked in a low voice: "Why don't you persuade?" ”

"We haven't officially married yet, and we are still separated by one floor, so it's inconvenient to speak." Xiang Kang whispered the reason, and pleaded: "Hurry up, persuade it, otherwise this matter will not end well." ”

Considering her sister's strong character, Yu Miaoge's heart softened, and she still stood up and persuaded according to Xiang Kang's instructions, asking Yu Jian not to rush to decide this matter and give her sister a little more time to think about it. Xiang Kang also took the opportunity to speak, cheekily asking his future father-in-law not to be in a hurry to marry his beautiful sister-in-law for the time being, but he didn't notice that his fiancée had clenched her fists and her nails were still deep in the palm of her hand.

Because of Yu Ji's resolute attitude, and because he didn't know much about Xiang You, Yu Jian of course accepted the persuasion of his eldest daughter and future son-in-law, and euphemistically rejected Xiang Bo's proposal to make a final decision on the spot.

was implicated by Xiang Bo, or after ending this unhappy family banquet, Xiang Kang remembered that he forgot to renegotiate the marriage date with Yu Jian, but it doesn't matter, Xiang Kang is more concerned about how to quickly find an opportunity to talk alone with his sister-in-law, not when he and Yu Miaoge will officially get married. At the same time, what made Xiang Kang very surprised and secretly happy was that after leaving the back hall, Yu Miaoge actually took the initiative to say to Xiang Kang: "Xiang Lang, the little sister left first, she must have gone back to the room to sulk, I will send Ah Weng to the residence to rest, how about you go and persuade my sister for me?" ”

"I'm going to persuade her?" Xiang Kang asked in surprise.

"You talk more than I do, you go and persuade her." Yu Miaoge didn't have any expression, and said: "After settling down Ah Weng, I will go to my second uncle and mother to help her do some needlework, and you can persuade her more for me." ”

Xiang Kang was embarrassed, but in the end he reluctantly met his fiancée's request, reluctantly went to talk alone with his sister-in-law, and after many days, he once again got the opportunity to be alone with his beautiful sister-in-law. But of course what Xiang Kang didn't know was that when he and his sister-in-law were sneaking around in the room, Yu Miaoge pricked his fingers several times in the second uncle's room, and secretly made up his mind with red eyes......
