The Warring States Qi general Tian Dan invented a kind of attack called "Fire Ox Array", he first surrendered to the Yan army, paralyzed it, and then used more than 1,000 cattle at night, tied the blade on the horns, and poured oil on the tail of the reeds, ignited the fire and rushed the Yan army, and rushed to kill with 5,000 warriors, defeating the Yan army.

However, this kind of fire bull formation is an indiscriminate attack, and it seems to be running forward, but once it is chaotic, there is no difference between the enemy and the enemy, so this plan is not a good strategy.

Now Yue Fei followed Tian Dan's example, he tied firecrackers to the tails of oxen and horses to let them attack, and did not tie blades to the horns of the ox, because Yue Fei's purpose was not to attack, but to disrupt the formation of the Yuan army.

The Yuejia army is the nemesis of the cavalry of the Yuan army, so the Yuan army is also trying to restrain the Yuejia army, and the horse's hooves are not easy to defend.

Therefore, the cavalry of the Yuan army gathered in formation and twisted into a rope, so that the Xia army could only attack on both sides. Secondly, the cavalry of the Yuan army likes to use long knives, holding the reins in one hand and swinging the knife in the other hand to chop, giving full play to the mobility of the cavalry.

Now, the cavalry on their flanks has been replaced with long weapons.

The length of the hemp knife used by the soldiers of Great Xia is very long, so the Yuan army replaced long weapons, such as spears and spears, so that if you attack from a long distance, the hemp knife of Great Xia cannot cut the horse's legs, so it will naturally break this disadvantage.

But unfortunately, the Yuan army was not good at making, and there were not many weapons such as spears and spears, and they were not used to it, so they were only used on the two wings.

It's a pity that the Yuan army miscalculated, Yue Fei had already guessed that the Yuan army would do this, and the crazy cow and horse formation broke their formation.

Cows and horses are docile animals, but the crackling of firecrackers with their tails tied to them is more frightening than fire. So the oxen and horses ran forward and directly collided with the cavalry of the Yuan army, and the war horses they sat on were also frightened, and the formation was directly chaotic.

The camp was in chaos, and the Yue family army began to move.

Compared with the Yuan army, which was chaotic in formation, Yue Fei put out a star-scattering array.

The Star Scattering Array is a formation invented by Yue Fei, which is specially used to deal with the Yuan army, and the formation of its array is like a star, and the soldiers scatter and do not gather in the face of the rushing Yuan army, so that the enemy can pounce in the air. When the enemy retreated, the scattered soldiers gathered again, pounced on the enemy, and slashed the horse's legs with their swords.

Yue Fei's plans and actions were all aimed at the weaknesses of the Yuan army's cavalry, so the victory in this battle was inevitable.

Xiao Rui sat firmly in the military tent, Li Yuanfang broadcast the progress of the battle live, and heard that the Yuan army had shown signs of defeat, Xiao Rui smiled and nodded.

An hour later, the Yuan army was defeated, unable to take the Tiancang Pass, and also lost the troops, so in desperation, they could only collect the troops and flee in a hurry. Yue Fei led the soldiers and horses to pursue for more than 30 miles, and then he didn't dare to continue the pursuit and return.

The soldiers cleaned the battlefield and harvested the spoils, while Yue Fei went to face the saint.

Yue Fei, who was full of blood, entered the military tent, and Xiao Rui saw the smile on his face, and knew that this was a big victory, not a small victory.

"Back to Your Majesty, fortunately not dishonored! The Yuan army is expected to destroy more than 30,000 enemies and capture countless prisoners, and the specific results and our casualties are being counted. Yue Fei said.

Xiao Rui personally brought tea to Yue Fei and said with a smile: "General Yue has worked hard, pass on the order and reward the whole army heavily!" ”

Yue Fei was excited, took the teacup with both hands, and then drank it all, but hugged his fists and said, "I understand!" ”

The next step is to burn the meat, take out the wine, and reward the three armies. Originally, an ambush was set up to ambush the Yuan army that went and returned, but who knew that he didn't wait for the other party. I don't know if the Yuan army was worried about being ambushed, or if they didn't have this idea at all.

Xiao Rui stayed in Tiancang Pass for two days, and then left here with Li Yuanfang and others. Originally, Xiao Rui wanted to go north to Yuanguo to take a look, but Wang Dazhi and others desperately opposed it, so Xiao Rui was not willful.

Yue Fei sent him more than fifty miles, and Xiao Rui let him go back.

Then, Xiao Rui and the others did not go south, but went north, preparing to go to Liaozhou and Yuanzhou to Ganzhou and Suzhou, and from there to the south into the Anxi region.

It's hard to travel, but it's not boring to enjoy the rare scenery along the way.

During the time when Xiao Rui was on his way, the territory of Qin was full of ups and downs.

Qin Zheng ascended the throne and became Emperor Ying, and Qin Yu and Qin Zhuang each raised 200,000 troops, on the grounds of avenging the previous emperor, they sent troops to the Qin capital, and the internal battle of Qin officially began.

Emperor Ying immediately appointed Bai Meng as the general of the auxiliary state and Meng Tian of the Meng family as the general of the Zhenguo, each commanding 180,000 and annihilating the traitors of the two kings.

As for Prime Minister Li Si's whereabouts, no one knows.

However, Zhao Ji, who was already the queen mother, was worried, because she sensed Emperor Ying's suspicions, and it seemed that Li Si had told him his identity, but he was not sure yet, so he suspected anyone.

In addition, Zhao Ji's pregnancy with the former emperor's child was also revealed, and there are records of the imperial physician and the former emperor staying in Mingxin Palace at night, and the time coincides, proving that Zhao Ji's belly is indeed the son of the former emperor.

Even if Emperor Qin Zheng was suspicious, and the officials in the court secretly discussed, no one dared to raise objections. extraordinary

After all, a year ago, the first emperor favored Wang Guiren and gave birth to a little princess for him, so it is not impossible for Zhao Ji to get pregnant, it can only be said that Emperor Qin Wu should be old and strong.

In addition, Chang Yu, who has died, is hidden in Mingxin Palace, and continues to live with Zhao Ji without shame, and then Zhao Ji will use the method of stealing beams and changing pillars to send Chang Yu out of the palace first, and then enter the palace, so that he has a new identity.

Secondly, Li Xianai is a great enemy, and he must be eliminated! Zhao Ji is also thinking about how to make Emperor Ying suspicious of Li Si and not believe Li Si's "nonsense".

Xiao Rui first arrived in Ganzhou, Zhenyuan Marquis Han Ming led the troops to guard here, Xiao Rui did not reveal his identity, after inspecting the local people's conditions, he went to Suzhou.

At the same time, with the civil strife in Qin, Meng Yi's actions in the north have also slowed down, and he has to face the Mongolian tribes, so there is no chance to bypass the grassland and enter Suzhou, so when Xiao Rui arrived in Suzhou, Chang Shenghou had not yet fought with the soldiers and horses of Qin.

Xiao Rui stayed in Suzhou for five or six days before preparing to go south.

Before leaving, he looked at the north, and was very worried about Guo Jia, he took risks alone to become a military advisor to Temujin, under all the dangers, what was his situation?

.....

After becoming the leader of the Mongol tribes, Temujin followed Guo Jia's advice and migrated the tribe westward, choosing a location with fertile pastures, mountains and rivers, and settled here.

With Temujin's drastic transformation, coupled with the cooperation with the Bactrian caravan, the grain and treasures obtained in exchange for cattle, sheep and horses, since Temujin moved to the west, it has attracted a large number of small tribes to take refuge, and now the Mongolian tribal area has gathered two or three million people, gathered in a radius of several hundred miles.

Guo Jia also became Temujin's number one military advisor, one person under ten thousand people. And Temujin's trust grew bigger and bigger, and he not only married his sister Xu to Guo Jia, but also arranged the best tent, the best maid, and the best subordinate for him. It can be said that Temujin is good to Guo Jia from the bottom of his heart.

It's a pity that Guo Jia is a person in Cao Ying, and his heart is in Han.

Well, this may not be right, it should be in the heart of Hanying.

Guo Jia did not "shame" his trust in Temujin, and continued to give him advice and expand his strength, and now Temujin has 100,000 iron horsemen in his hands, and it is still expanding.

With the beginning of the Qin Civil War, Meng Yi slowed down the pace of the north, and Temujin began to send cavalry to loot the Dongqi area.

Emperor Wu of Qin, who died, was determined to fight Great Xia, but Qin Zheng also understood that Great Xia would become stronger and stronger, and he had to fight early, but he couldn't fight now, under internal and external troubles, so Emperor Ying immediately ordered Meng Yi to fight against the Yuan army that went south, canceling Emperor Qin's plan.

When Xiao Rui arrived in Zangxi County, he heard the news that the Mongol tribes of Qin and Yuan were in full swing.

At this time, nearly two months have passed since Xiao Rui left Qizhou City.

The Anxi Protectorate is in the city of Zangxi County, and the group came along the way and saw the results of Zhang Liang and Xiao He's efforts. From small villages to large cities, the people live and work in peace and contentment, calm and peaceful.

Xiao Rui and his family often stayed overnight in the farmhouse and asked about the harvest of the peasant people. With a smile on their faces, the people proudly pointed to their stuffed granaries, and the smiles on their faces were content.

The smiles of the people also infected Xiao Rui, knowing that everything he did was worth it.

After entering the county town of western Tibet, Xiao Rui went to see Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang knew that His Majesty was coming, but he didn't expect to wait so long, so he hurriedly invited Xiao Rui to live in a cleaned room, bathe and change clothes, and entertain Xiao Rui with Anxi's specialties.

Xiao Rui didn't see Xiao He, so he asked, "What about Xiao He?" ”

Zhang Liang said with a smile: "Brother Xiao and Shen Wansan went to Jiangzhong Prefecture, and Dian Wei protected them. I have already sent a message to them to come back as soon as possible, but it will take two or three days, and Your Majesty will be tired from the boats and cars, so he will rest here first. ”

"What happened in Jiangzhongzhou?" Xiao Rui asked.

Zhang Liang said: "Jiangzhong Prefecture has a higher terrain, and there has been little rain since the Chinese New Year, so there is a drought situation, which is not a big deal, and Your Majesty does not need to worry about it." ”

Under the Xiaoice River period, natural disasters and secondary disasters emerged one after another, although Zhang Liang was afraid that Xiao Rui was worried and did not say much, but Xiao Rui understood that Xiao He and Shen Wansan could rush at the same time, presumably the drought situation was more serious.

However, Xiao Rui, as the emperor of Great Xia, really doesn't have to worry about the drought situation in a state, otherwise he will die of exhaustion sooner or later.

"During this time, the Qin country is very lively, I am a little hesitant, I don't know whether to send troops, ovary, what do you think?" Xiao Rui asked.

Zhang Liang poured tea for Xiao Rui and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Daxia should send troops!" There are four reasons for this! First, now Qin is worried about internal and external troubles, there are two kings in the country who have raised troops, Emperor Yinghuang has just sat on the throne and is unstable, the court is not one, and the struggle between officials is greater. Meng Yi was fighting against the Temujin cavalry in the three northern counties of the Dongqi region, which led to the weakness of the garrisons of the other counties. Second, the old people of Zhao are still ready to move, and now they can take advantage of their uprising. Third, Your Majesty has been on the throne for so long, and it is time to show off the country's prestige and tell the world about the strength of Great Xia. Fourth, the sixteen counties on the west side of the Qijiang River are also treasured lands, if they can be recaptured this time and drive the Qin army back to the west of the Qinling Mountains, it will be even more of a disaster for the Qin State. ”

Xiao Rui nodded approvingly, and said, "Your reasons are the same as Mr. Wenhe, Mr. Wenhe also suggested taking the sixteen counties of Old Zhao, further expanding the territory, and driving the Qin army to the west of the Qinling Mountains. I have always been a little hesitant, I don't want to raise troops, I want to develop quietly, accumulate more strength, and wait for the future to eliminate the advantages of the other, before I make a move against the Qin State. But now is a godsend......"

Speaking of this, Xiao Rui immediately made up his mind and said, "Summons Han Xin and Chen Qingzhi!" ”
