Later, Seaman told him some interesting stories about what happened in the Rong-occupied area, but Lu Lihua learned some details from Seaman's story that he had never known before.

In the several counties occupied by the Rong army, the people seem to love the Rong people very much, and the centuries-old estrangement between the two ethnic groups seems to have been quietly dissolved with only some land.

At the same time, Zhu Lihua also determined from Ximan'er that the rebellion that occurred in various parts of the Qin State at the beginning was indeed secretly supported by this Xiao Da Danyu, which caused the Qin State to suffer from the enemy. Moreover, the Qin State also intensified the contradictions between the common people and the nobles in the rebellion and counterinsurgency.

What surprised him the most was that Xi Man'er said that the Rong people arranged the internal response everywhere, and it turned out that Xiao Jinxing had arranged to enter Daqin when he was not a Rong person, and Xi Man'er didn't know Xiao Jinxing at that time.

After listening to Heman's words, a strange feeling suddenly appeared in Lihua's heart. He felt that a person like Xiao Jinxing, who was open-minded and knew things like a god, didn't seem to take Qin Guo seriously.

Perhaps for the middle-aged scribe with whom he had only met once, the destruction of the Qin State seemed to be just a trivial matter.

Gradually, Lu Lihua fell into a deep confusion in Heman's words, which came from the deep disgust of the power struggle of the Qin State in his heart, from the powerful enemy who overwhelmed him, and even more from the fact that the person he loved was always standing on the other side of the distant shore.

Three days later, accompanied by Ximaner and more than a dozen people, Lihua's carriage finally arrived at the outskirts of Quwo County.

Looking at the flat land in front of him that had already been harvested with wheat straw, Lu Lihua finally realized that he had finally returned after being closed by the ghost gate.

The two white wolves running around in the distance also seemed to be extremely excited to return to the side of the tree, ready to return to the home where the owner could be safely returned with their master.

During this period of time in Xu Chang, in addition to accompanying herself every day, Xin'er spent the rest of the time sticking together with Da Lang Erlang, so at this time, Li Hua watched the two white wolves jumping jubilantly around her, but she remembered her lover who left in her heart.

As if seeing the sadness that suddenly appeared in Lihua's eyes, Seaman solemnly took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Lihua. And in an instant, he understood the origin of this belief.

Seeing that Lihua had taken the letter, Seaman glanced to the north and then said to Lihua: "Brother Lili, I have seen everything about you and the Holy Maiden, and I also understand why you asked Xin'er in Chaona City that day.

Frankly, I don't like you being with the Holy Maiden, but I can't find a reason to hate you. Maybe I'd rather let her be with you than the princess she would be a worm in the future.

To be honest, I can see the shadow of Da Dan Yu when he was young, wise and brave, but he doesn't have the stinky frame of your aristocrat, and he is high, which makes me extremely uncomfortable. ”

Speaking of this, Heyman walked up to the carriage in which Lihua was riding, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother Lili didn't tell Xin'er about her being a saint, so I am still very happy to be uncle."

It seems that you and I are the same as Da Shan Yu, just want Xin'er to live happily. So we all chose to keep our mouths shut.

Although we can't change anything after all. ”

Heman's tone suddenly darkened, and after a moment he suddenly raised his head and shouted at his soldiers, and the dozen or so people rode their handsome horses and turned to leave south.

"Can't you change it?"

Lu Lihua looked at the back of Ximan and the others leaving, and muttered to himself.

After a few breaths, the essence in his eyes flashed, and finally the decadence in his eyes was no longer there, and only firmness and determination remained.

If Xiao Jinxing saw Lu Lihua at this moment, he would definitely find that this young man's resolute expression was so similar to his decisive expression after making the decision.

A moment later, the sound of rumbling horses' hooves came from the north, and Zhu Lihua turned his head to look north, only to see Wei Mu leading a thousand cavalry to the carriage he was riding in a long distance.

"Da Lang, Erlang, we are going home, thank you for going to report to Xin'er, I owe you two for this life."

Leaning down with difficulty, he crawled on the edge of the carriage and reached out to hold the two white wolves tightly in his arms.

In the city of Quwo, the ancestral hall of Wuying Palace.

Surrounded by all the generals under his command, he came here to pay tribute to the deceased Qin God of War Fang Yuanheng.

Although it has been a long time since Fang Yuanheng died in battle, this is the first time that Yu Lihua has come to the ancestral hall of the Fang family to burn a piece of paper for the backbone of this Great Qin and talk about the respect in his heart.

At the beginning, Fang Yuanheng's body was not sent back to Quwo, but was hurriedly buried by the Rong people and tens of thousands of soldiers who died in battle outside the city of Zichuan, where he died in battle.

But everyone looked at Fang Shuai's brand-new spirit card in the ancestral hall and knew in their hearts that Zuo Gengfang Shuai was such a heroic figure, and he would return to his hometown after death.

With the assistance of the old people left here in the Fang family, Zhu Lihua and the others solemnly completed all the rituals, and only after half a day did they leave the Fang family ancestral hall.

After escaping from the ghost gate, Zhu Lihua appeared in front of Gao Yunce and others as if he had changed into a different person, and it was also what Zhu Lihua suddenly asked everyone to come to worship today.

Because he decided to go on the expedition.

Tonight, except for Wei Yuanqi, who was guarding Ji Lin City and could not easily leave, Zhu Lihua, who had recruited all the civil and military generals in the eight counties, announced that he was going south to recover Shangdang.

This is not a decision made on the spur of the moment, but a necessary move after careful consideration.

Since Lihua returned to Quwo, he quickly sent people to Xijing and Wenshui to report to Qin Gong and Zhao Zhihai about what happened to him in Xuchang, which naturally did not mention that he was rescued by Yu Xin'er for more than half a month in Xuchang, but only said that he escaped by a detour with the help of his own soldiers to escape in the cracks of the Rong army.

Although he understands that most of the generals who go to the monarch to report Yongluan's lynching will only sink into the sea, this is his own attitude, he wants to show the monarch that if he meets Yongluan again in the future, then no matter what the result is, it will be caused by Yongluan.

It's just half a month later, Zhu Lihua got two shocking news one after another, one was from Xijing, reporting that there had been a coup d'état in Xijing, and it had been occupied by the army of Yongluan and Qi. And when the scout who delivered the letter went all the way south, he got the news that the 70,000 army of the Rong people had started a mutual battle with the vanguard troops of Yongluan and the Qi people outside Baili City.

Because the messenger scout heard that Baili was fighting, he had to go south around Qiushu City in order to ensure the safety of the letter, so he did not know the specific situation of the battle in Baili City.

There is more than one news from Wenshui, and there are good and bad ones.

When the monarch and Zhao Zhihai learned that Lihua was still alive and returned to Quwo, they seemed to be extremely happy, and the monarch even wrote a commendation order in his own handwriting, and Feng Lihua was promoted from a lieutenant to a general, and he was added to the duke.

At this time, Wei Yuanqi, Liang Qingshu, Gao Yunce, and An Moran under his command were already military marquises, and Liu Jaw, Tang Yuan, Li Ji, Wei Mu and Xu Xiaoyang, who had made great contributions in many battles, also rose to a thousand.

Even Niu Yong, Huang Yunhe and other leaders of the rebels who surrendered were mostly promoted to five hundred lords.

It's just that in a series of awards, everyone's knighthood is at most a no-change, and this is only obtained by Wei Yuanqi, Liang Qingshu, Gao Yunce, and An Moran. Others have obtained knighthoods mostly from the public to the upper to the hairpin.

For this reason, everyone did not complain, but they were all very happy, and Zhu Lihua also took it for granted.

He knew that even Zhang Ren's kind of common people's miracle was just a no-nonsense when he was promoted to general Pi for many years. Besides, this kind of thing is just rare, and it can't happen a few times in a hundred years.

Therefore, everyone under the command of Lihua has been promoted rapidly, and where can there be any dissatisfaction.

It seems that this eastward invasion of the Rong people has indeed caused a subtle change in the world, which has been unchanged for hundreds of years.

After the letter of commendation from the Duke of Qin, Zhao Zhihai also attached a letter, bluntly saying that Lihua had the power to appoint generals under his command in a lonely corner of the army, but Lihua needed to submit the list of appointments to the Wenshui Register.

While receiving the commendation of the Duke of Qin and Zhao Zhihai, Yu Lihua also learned in detail about the beginning and end of the Xijing coup, and understood that Wenshui was now the temporary capital of Great Qin.

It's just that I am afraid that my complaint against Yongluan has become an unsolved case, and the person on the right actually collaborated with the ministers to even dare to kill the monarch, so what is the matter of lynching the general.

In the following two months, in addition to strengthening the connection with Wenshui City, Lulihua also sent a large number of scouts to investigate the Baili War and the movements of the Rong people in the Qinlan counties on the east side.

Fortunately, at present, the forces of all parties are intertwined and the fighting is continuous, although Quwo is far away from all places and has to enter the enemy-occupied area, these scouts can still send a steady stream of information back to Quwo without danger.

Originally, Zhu Lihua felt that although he was currently sitting in eight counties, he could only be regarded as a strong outsider, and he was ready to sit back and watch the southern war and then attack Wenshui in the north and south.

But more than half a month ago, Zhu Lihua got a piece of news that shocked him extremely much, which made him reconsider the use of soldiers.

It turned out that a month ago, Hedong County of Qi sent another 50,000 troops to cross the Yellow Water and directly take the Rong people to garrison the empty Shangdang City.

After a day of fighting, the 3,000 Rong army composed of the original rebels who surrendered to the Rong people was annihilated, and the 50,000 Qi army landed without rest and immediately went south without rest, and successively captured the two cities of Xuchang and Binshui, and the Baili Yongqi coalition army formed a north-south attack on the 70,000 Rong army.

There are 12 counties in the small Hexi County, and now there are four forces competing with each other.

In addition to the six counties of Quwo, Longmen, Liangyuan, Baishui, Pucheng, and Xiantong, Shangdang, Xuchang, and Binshui were occupied by the 50,000 troops of Hedong County of Qi State, and Yuanyou to the south of the three counties was in the hands of the 70,000 troops of the Rong people, while Baili and Qiushu were occupied by the 140,000 Qiyong coalition troops.
