Chapter 424: The Way Home
Outside Xianyang City, 1,500 Mo troops have been assembled.
The breeze blew, and the snowflakes fell on the faces of the soldiers, but no one made a sound, they quietly looked at the young man on the horse, waiting for the man to speak, while the young man stared at the city behind him, as if waiting for something.
"General, why hasn't Sister Wei Lin come yet! Why don't your subordinates send someone to ask if something is wrong? Bai Yamei said softly.
Mo Chen sighed and said: "No need, Wei Lin already told me yesterday that she won't come to see us off if she has something, I'm just going to see if Wei Lin will change her mind, okay, Yamei, send an order to the whole army, go, let's go home." ”
"Yes, General." After Bai Yamei received the order, she said loudly: "The general has an order, and the whole army will set off." ”
With this command, the army went back and forth and embarked on the road back.
Different from the lively scene when he came, this time Mo Chen only brought his 1,500 Mo army, Ying Weilin wanted to stay and guard the tomb for a year, and did not return to Plains City with Mo Chen, and because he was afraid of reluctance, he did not appear in front of Mo Chen.
And Meng Yu heard that he was really sick, and he couldn't send him off, and he heard that the Qin Palace also sent many imperial doctors to diagnose and treat, and the conclusion was that the wind and cold entered the body, although he took medicine, but it had no effect, and now he couldn't even get out of bed, which made Qin Wang Yingzheng almost ordered the imperial doctor to be cut down, and finally Qin Wang Yingzheng wanted to send other generals to Pingyuan City with Mo Chen, continue their covenant, and fight the Xiongnu together, but Mo Chen refused.
In the past, he was weak, only a few thousand, and nearly 10,000 horses and horses, he needed to cooperate with the Qin State to survive, but now that he has an army of sixty or seventy thousand, the thousands of cavalry of the Qin State are not so important, and it is no problem to protect himself, if he wants to occupy the grassland, the thousands of cavalry will not have much effect, for this reason, he put forward the idea of letting the Qin State increase tens of thousands of troops, and Ying Zheng did not agree, after all, the Qin State needs to use more troops now, and the most important thing is to use his own soldiers to help others fight the country and create a consolidated grassland force. This is not in the interests of a person in power, as long as the Mo army and the Xiongnu have been in a stalemate, it is in their interests that he can mobilize more troops to devote himself to the struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains.
Mo Chen and Ying Zheng also had some unpleasantness, which caused a situation where no one sent each other, but this is also in line with Mo Chen's intentions, he doesn't want to show too close to the Qin State, you must know that now the Qin State is the first power in the Central Plains, if the rest of the countries think that he has stood on the warship of the Qin State, if nothing else, I am afraid that the two countries of Yan and Zhao will not be able to sit still, and send troops into the grassland, although he is not afraid, but he also does not want to fight with the Central Plains countries, after all, they are all the children of the Yan and Huang clan, win and lose, and the people who die are the people of the Yan and Huang clan.
The cities of Qin have already received orders from Xianyang City, and they are not embarrassed by the Mo army, and they have left Qin State all the way unimpeded and returned to the grassland, but there is still nearly a month away from Pingyuan City, of course, there are carriages, but the snow is difficult to travel, which is longer than the time to go to Qin.
After entering the grassland, the Mo army was on high alert, and Mo Chen sent a large number of scouts to scatter away, after all, when they went to Qin, they were ambushed by the Huns once, that time if it wasn't for the accident, the Huns were coaxed out, I am afraid that they may have to suffer a big loss that time, and good luck will not always be attached to himself, he must be vigilant.
In a blink of an eye, ten days have passed, most of the winter has passed at this time, although it will snow from time to time, but it is all some small snow, and it is not in the way, even so, the Mo army is not easy, the most painful thing for the soldiers is that the snow on some of the ground is too thick, and some are clearly flat, but as soon as the carriage passes, the flat snow is actually the slope ground, and the carriage is overturned in an instant, and this situation is not a special case, but has become the norm, but fortunately, Mo Chen brought five hundred lux, Otherwise, it will not be easy to get the wagon back.
At ten o'clock in the afternoon, Mo Chen noticed that the snow around him had thinned, so he ordered the army to stop and rest, replenish their strength, and eat.
The high vigilance along the way, but after ten days, not a single ghost was seen, and the vigilance could not help but relax, and after receiving orders one by one, they lay directly on the soft snow.
However, just when Mo Jun's guard was just relaxed, two fast horses quickly rushed over from a distance.
"General, it's not good, the Hun cavalry, the Hun cavalry is here."
