A few days later, Jingyang Jun Yingfu left Wuguan and came to the capital of Chu to negotiate with Chu about Xiong Heng, the king of Chu, marrying the daughter of the Ying clan of Qin.

At this time, Sima Cuo and Bai Qi were both in Chuying, and after hearing about this, they immediately went to the bank of the Hanshui River to greet Jingyang Jun Yingfu with Yin Zilan, Doctor Zhaoju, Zhuang Xin and other Chu ministers of Chu State, and gave the latter enough respect.

After all, Jingyang Jun Yingfu is not an ordinary Qin prince, he is one of the two closest sons of the Empress Dowager Xuan of Qin, and almost became the monarch of Qin.

Empress Dowager Xuan, who was born in Chu, had a total of three sons, namely Gongzi Ji, Gongzi Fu, and Gongzi Kui, but the eldest son Yingji was just a few years old, and was sent to Yan by King Qin Hui as a proton, hoping to get along with Yan, after all, Korea at that time pacified Donghu to the east and annexed Ji to the south, and the strength was very strong, and at that time, Su Qin of Zhao State and Hui Shi of Wei State were all organized to fight against Qin with the support of their respective monarchs, and Qin did not want the Central Plains countries to unite against Qin, so they hoped to get allies through diplomatic relations.

At that time, the Qin State chose the Yan State and the Chu State.

At that time, the strength of the Yan State was comparable to that of the Zhao State, and it was able to contain the Zhao State well for the Qin State, so King Qin Hui sent his young son Yingji to the Yan State as a proton.

And Yingji went for more than 20 years, during which he experienced the rebellion of the son of Yan and almost died in the civil strife of Yan Kingdom, but he was also fortunate to be favored by Master Zhao's father.

After King Yingdang of Qin Wu died because he ran to the Zhou State to raise the crown, the Empress Dowager Xuan wanted to choose one of her beloved sons Gongzi Fu and Gongzi Kui to support her as the new monarch of Qin, but she did not expect that her eldest son Yingji, who was far away in Yan, was the father of Zhao, and finally forced Qin to change Yingji as the monarch by exerting pressure on Qin.

It is precisely because of his career as a proton in Yan Country for more than 20 years, although Yingji is the eldest son of the Empress Dowager Xuan, she may not be the closest son of the Empress Dowager Xuan, and the Empress Dowager Xuan is the closest, presumably the second son Yingfu and the third son Yingkui, who have been by her side for more than 20 years.

Especially Jingyang Jun Yingfu, although he missed the throne of King Qin, but under the protection of his mother, he still got Jingyang as a fiefdom.

What is Jingyang?

It was the hinterland of the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, and it was even the royal capital of the Qin State for a time.

It can be seen that Jingyang Jun Yingfu's status in the heart of his mother Empress Dowager Xuan.

In recent years, most of Jingyang Jun Yingfu are traveling around the countries as envoys of Qin, considering that Yingfu is not a troublemaker, and the countries do not dare to offend the Empress Dowager Xuan, offend the risk of offending the Qin State to harm Yingfu, so Yingfu has traveled in various countries over the years, but also has a very nourishing life.

Under the leadership of Ling Yin Zilan and others, Jingyang Jun Yingfu came to Chu Ying, met with Xiong Heng, the king of Chu, and sent the blessings of the Empress Dowager Xuan and the Qin State.

In addition to Zhao Ju and Zhuang Xin's skeptical attitude towards Jingyang Jun Yingfu's words, it seems that Xiong Heng, the king of Chu, and Yin Zilan are very happy, perhaps in their opinion, the crisis of the country has been lifted, and the Qin State is no longer a threat to their Chu State.

On the same day, Xiong Heng, the king of Chu, ordered a banquet to be held in the palace to entertain Jingyang Jun Yingfu, and the guests and hosts were harmonious and happy during the banquet.

There is only one person who has a straight face from beginning to end, and does not smile.

This person is none other than Bai Qi.

Seeing this, Jingyang Jun Yingfu felt very strange, and asked Bai Qi privately after the banquet: "What kind of unhappiness did the general encounter in Chu State?" ”

Bai Qi replied flatly: "The Chu people are afraid of my Great Qin, how dare they snub the last general?" ”

"Why is that?" Jing Yangjun was even more puzzled.

Seeing this, Bai Qi told Yingfu about the incident in 1510, and emphatically emphasized: "I have fought with Meng Zhong several times in the battle of Yique, and I know that this person is extremely tricky, and now he is ordered by Wei to garrison in Fangcheng, and is recruiting soldiers to step up training, I think we should immediately use troops in Fangcheng to remove this obstacle, but Guowei insisted that it should wait until the marriage of the king of Chu and the formation of the Qin-Chu coalition army to use troops against Wan and Fang, and the final general will roughly estimate that it will take at least a few months or even half a year, half a year later." , I am afraid that Fang City is already a different picture, and if we lead the army to attack in time, our army will inevitably pay a greater price. ”

Jingyang Jun Yingfu suddenly realized when he heard this, remembering that since he saw Sima Cuo and Bai Qi in Hanshui, he felt that the relationship between the two seemed to be a little tense, but he didn't expect such a disagreement between the two.

To tell the truth, Jingyang Jun Yingfu doesn't know any art of war, but from a personal point of view, he naturally prefers Bai Qi, after all, Bai Qi is the most trusted young general of Marquis Wei Ran, and he is the "own person" of their circle, but Sima Cuo is different, Sima Cuo is just a courtier of Qin, and he only obeys the orders of the King of Qin and does not care too much about the current "power" of Qin such as Empress Dowager Xuan and Marquis Wei Ran.

But the problem is that Sima Cuo, as the "elder of the three dynasties" of the Qin State, his prestige in the Qin State is indeed high, not to mention that in this matter, his brother Yingji, who is the monarch of the King of Qin, may not be on their side.

Thinking of this, Jingyang Jun Yingfu vaguely persuaded Bai Qi and said: "The general is a little patient, the national lieutenant has won the trust of Brother Wang, if this matter is on Brother Wang's side, Brother Wang will definitely call Uncle (Wei Ran) to blame." However, the general does not need to be convened, after the defeat of Wei and Han this time, the uncle will recommend the general in front of Brother Wang, so that the general can replace the national lieutenant, and the general will no longer need to worry about Sima Wrong. ”

Bai Qi nodded silently.

In fact, he also understood that Jingyang Jun Yingfu couldn't help him in this matter, he was just complaining to the prince.

After that, about a month later, the daughter of the Ying clan was sent to the state of Chu by the army of the state of Qin, and at this time the state of Chu was also ready to marry the princess, under the co-auspices of Jingyang Jun Yingfu and the order of the state of Chu Yin Zilan, the king of Chu Xiong Heng married the daughter of the Ying clan of the state of Qin, and the two countries officially completed the marriage.

And for this marriage, Bai Qi was not interested in the slightest, after all, in his opinion, whether it was a marriage or an alliance, it was just something that could be destroyed at any time, and it could not last long, only the deterrence of force could really help the Qin State to achieve strength.

Therefore, during the period when the state of Chu was preparing to marry the royal wife, he simply stayed in the military camp in Yan County, trained his soldiers, and prepared for the attack on Fangcheng in the future.

And for Bai Qi's way of doing his own thing, Sima Cuo was really unhappy in his heart, but considering that Bai Qi was the most important favorite general of Marquis Wei Ran after all, he could only endure it - he couldn't just send someone to complain in front of King Qin because of this trivial matter, right?

What's more, even if he did this, in the end, it was just Marquis Wei Ran who came forward to reprimand Bai Qi a few words without pain.

Thinking of this, Sima Cuo simply ignored Bai Qi, as long as Bai Qi didn't want to disrupt his strategic deployment again.

And during this period, in fact, something happened that made Bai Qi happy, that is, the cavalry formed for him by Marquis Wei Ran finally arrived in the Hanshui area.

Since the last time he suffered a big loss from the cavalry under Meng Zhong in the battle of Yique, he returned to Qin after the Bai Incident, and begged the Marquis Wei Ran to form a cavalry of 10,000 people, and Wei Ran agreed to this.

However, due to the rush of time, there are only more than 2,000 cavalry in this 10,000-person cavalry, but even so, it is enough to make Bai Qi feel happy, because in his opinion, with this cavalry, he does not need to be afraid of the cavalry under Meng Zhong's command in the future.

The cavalry under Meng Zhong's command was only a thousand, and he had two thousand!

The general who commanded this cavalry was a general of Yiqu and a general named "Yu", and the Qin people generally called him "Hu Yu".

Yiqu has always been a major problem for Qin, and he once fought against Qin together with the Chinese states, but until the reign of King Qin Hui, Qin's national power gradually became stronger, forcing Yiqu to submit to Qin, and then Yiqu became Qin's county, and Yiqu became Qin's courtier.

More than ten years ago, when the Qin State and the Central Plains countries were at war, Yiqu rebelled again, and sent troops to attack the Qin State several times to recover the lost land, and then was recaptured by the Qin State, and the two sides launched a tug-of-war for decades.

When King Hui of Qin was in his old age, Yiqu was attacked by Qin again, losing more than 20 cities and greatly shrinking the country.

However, during this period, Qin Hui Wang Yingji passed away, and the Qin State fell into the civil strife of the princes vying for the throne, which made Yiqu resurrect and once again take the opportunity to attack the Qin State.

After King Yingji of Qin ascended the throne, Empress Dowager Xuan used her own beauty trick to seduce King Yiqu and gradually eliminate King Yiqu's hostility to Qin, which made Yiqu gradually lose its previous sharpness, and also made a large number of Yiqu people take refuge in Qin.

And this time, Hu Yu, who was sent by Marquis Wei Ran to Bai Qi's tent as a general, is one of them.

Hu Yu had lived in the Qin State for many years and could understand the language of the Central Plains, so Bai Qi could communicate with him smoothly, and he said to Hu Yu: "There is a city called Fangcheng in the north, and its guard Meng Zhong has a cavalry under his command, and my request to you is to defeat this cavalry. ”

In this regard, Hu Yu disagreed.

There are also cavalry in the Central Plains?

In his opinion, the cavalry of the Central Plains was purely a foot soldier sitting on a war horse, what was there to fear?

Therefore, he swore to Bai Qi and said: "This matter is on me, and I will definitely let the thousand cavalrymen come and go!" ”

Hearing Hu Yu's assurance, Bai Qi was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately set up a banquet in the barracks to entertain Hu Yu.

However, Bai Qi didn't know that when he received the assistance of Hu Yu's 2,000 cavalry, on Meng Zhong's side of Fangcheng, the 5,000 war horses that Duan Ganyin had promised to Meng Zhong had also arrived in Fangcheng.

Considering that the land of Wanfang has an extremely vast plain, which is suitable for the cavalry to exert its strength, Meng Zhong used all the five thousand war horses to expand the cavalry without saying a word, which increased the number of cavalry in Fangcheng to six thousand in one go.

Although the training of cavalry was extremely difficult, with the help of the artifact of bilateral stirrups, the cavalry recruits in Fangcheng mastered the most basic equestrian skills in a few days, and their strength improved day by day.

And just like that, June passed by.

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
