Wang Jian looked at Zhao Jiana's back gradually moving away, but his face was extremely complicated.

If the Qin people in the southeast of the river were to move to the land of Shenqi, since both places belonged to the east of the river, and the distance was not far, the migration pressure might be less.

But now, Zhao Jia is preparing to move the Qin people to Yan and Qi, which is a long way away, and the vast majority of Qin people must have resistance.

The Qin people were fierce, the laws were strict, from the officials to the common people, and there were probably not a few people who resisted the migration, and the southeast of the river must have been bleeding at that time.

If you add the people who died on the road during the long-distance migration, it is already very good that two-thirds of the 600,000 Qin people can survive this migration.

Although Wang Jian was forced to defect to Zhao Jia, after all, he was born and raised in Qin, and he was still a little unbearable in his heart.

It's just that Wang Jian is well versed in the way of being a minister, and knows what things can be persuaded and what things can't be persuaded, this time he really wants to intercede for those Qin people in Hedong, even if Zhao Jia will dispel this thought, I am afraid that if Wang Jian wants to get Zhao Jia's trust again in the future, it will be difficult to climb to the sky.

"The Qin State bears me first, since the clan is destroyed, I will be a Zhao person from now on!"

The wind blew, Wang Jian felt a little cool, and subconsciously looked up at the sky.

"Stomp, stomp!"

War horses galloping, iron horses vertically and horizontally, in just five days, 30,000 Zhao national iron horses have been along the Fenshui south to Diaoyin.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to continue south."

Wang Jian looked at the vast farmland in the distance and said with a little worry.

Although the north of Shangjun is vast and sparsely populated, there are many deserts, next door, and it has been repeatedly harassed by foreign tribes, and it is extremely depressed, but the south has been operated by the Qin State for many years, with dense population and great wealth, and the Luoshui River is a place of grain production.

The southern part of Shangjun can be regarded as the hinterland of Qin, and the population is not even below Hedong County.

"The main forces of the Qin State are attracted by the 800,000 allied troops, I am afraid that we did not expect that we would make a detour to Shangjun, even if our army is discovered after entering Shangjun, with the speed of cavalry, it is impossible for the Qin people to organize an army for defense too quickly."

"Pass on my military order, twenty horsemen as a team, and send a hundred teams as scouts to scout around!"

"The army doesn't need to care about the cities along the way, just bypass the cities and continue south, and when there is a shortage of food, they will borrow food from the villages, and they must not storm the cities and Wu Forts!"

For the current situation, Zhao Jia had already anticipated it.

Since he decided to give full play to the advantages of cavalry, even if there were Qin villages around, Zhao Jia was not afraid at all.

"Your Majesty, there are two ways to Xianyang."

"First, according to the original plan, go southeast to detour to Puban, and then go west along the river, although this road is easy to walk, there are many important cities of the Qin State along the way, and I am afraid that there are a large number of Qin soldiers guarding it."

"Second, it is to go southwest and go straight to Xianyang, but you need to climb over Beishan, but Beishan is the northern gateway of Xianyang, where the road is narrow and difficult to travel, and it is very unsuitable for cavalry marching!"

Zhao Jia heard this, but his brows furrowed slightly.

If Zhao Jia chooses this road, Qin only needs to send two thousand Qin troops along the way to Beishan, and Zhao Jia and others can be kept out.

Besides, it is sparsely populated, and it is not easy to borrow food.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Jia vetoed the road from Beishan to Xianyang.

However, the detour to Kagasaka is also extremely dangerous nowadays.

According to the original plan, if the main force of the Qin army and the coalition army fought in two weeks, very far away from Pusaka, Zhao Jia did not worry about being intercepted at all.

But now, in order to avoid heavy casualties, the Qin army actually retreated to Hangu Pass and defended it dangerously.

You must know that Hangu Pass is only more than 200 miles away from Pusaka, and if Zhao Jia passes through there, he is likely to be cut off by the Qin army, and then trapped and killed in Qin.

Zhao Jia is now alone, and the slightest carelessness will wipe out the whole army, so he can only be cautious again and again.

It's just that Zhao Jia also deeply felt at this time that it was not a simple matter for a lone army to go deep into the hinterland of the enemy, even if it was a cavalry that came and went freely.

If you want to break through Xianyang with these 30,000 cavalry, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Fortunately, from the very beginning, Zhao Jia did not have much hope for the breakthrough of Xianyang, and the reason why he still insisted on going deep into the hinterland of Qin State alone was also to distract the attention of the Qin army and create opportunities for the coalition forces.

If something can't be done, Zhao Jia will never be reluctant.

"Report!"

At this moment, a scout came on horseback.

"What?"

"Your Excellency Qiqi, our scouts have found traces of the Qin army in Qiyuan, and the number is about forty thousand!"

When Zhao Jia heard this, he was immediately shocked.

Qiyuan is the place where the Zhao army must pass through when it goes south, but now there are 40,000 Qin troops stationed there, how can Zhao Jia not be frightened?

Zhao Jia hurriedly asked: "Could it be that the Qin State has long known the movements of our army, and deliberately heavy troops under the lacquered cloth?" ”

The scout shook his head and said: "These 40,000 Qin troops have just been recruited from Shangjun, and it is only because of the strength of the coalition that the Qin State is worried that the 300,000 Qin troops under Fan Yuzhi will be difficult to resist, so they have started to recruit troops in the counties of Qin State. ”

"These 40,000 Qin troops almost include the entire Shangjun elite people!"

When Zhao Jia heard this, he immediately turned his worries into joy.

The most important purpose of his trip was to disrupt the logistics of the Qin State, so that the main force of the Qin State could not devote itself to fighting the coalition forces.

Unexpectedly, just when Zhao Jia felt that it was difficult to reach Xianyang, he encountered these 40,000 Qin troops.

If the Qin State had been prepared and arranged 40,000 Qin troops in Qiyuan to resist the cavalry of the Zhao State, Zhao Jia would still be afraid of three points, but now there are only 40,000 newly recruited troops in Qiyuan, and if they are unprepared, it will become a piece of fat.

If you can exterminate these 40,000 Qin troops in the hinterland of the Qin State, it will definitely shake the Qin State up and down.

"Not only that, these 40,000 newly recruited Qin troops are also responsible for taking care of the grain and grass requisitioned from the entire Shang County, and the grain, grass, and baggage outside the city are piled up!"

Zhao Jia was even more overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately shouted: "The whole army is going south to paint the wall!" ”

Outside the lacquered city, Meng Tian had a sad look on his face that could not be concealed.

In just a few months, first his father Meng Wu Zhongji was killed by the Korean arrows, and then his grandfather Meng Fu was trapped in Pinggao and finally fell to his death.

With the loss of Meng Fu and Meng Wu, coupled with the destruction of the 100,000 Qin army, the originally powerful Meng clan became depressed.

If it weren't for the fact that Meng Fu and Meng Wu's father and son were all killed in battle, I am afraid that even Meng Tian and Meng Yi would be implicated.

The two died on the battlefield, but they left a trace of life for Montessori, but now Montessori is no longer in the glory of the past, and Meng Tian, as the eldest grandson, can only do some work of recruiting soldiers and transporting grain.

Even this errand was strongly recommended by Lu Buwei, and Meng Tian was able to take on it, otherwise I am afraid that he would have been left out in the cold a long time ago, and there was no possibility of recovery.

For the Qin State, which was knighted for his military exploits, Meng Tian did these works, unless the Qin State won a great victory in the entire campaign, there was no chance of gaining military merits at all.

Judging from the current situation, the Qin army wants to break the coalition army, and the chances are slim.

"Zhang Ping, Fan Yuzhi, Zhao Jia!"

Meng Tian silently read the names of the three people, his fists clenched.
