Yucheng.

Although Yingkang persistently managed and protected Princess Ruoxi, but in the end she still did not keep her, and on a quiet autumn afternoon, Princess Qiuguo and Yingkang's wife Ji Ruoxi passed away peacefully.

Ruoxi left, there is no need to be entangled in the affairs of the kingdom of Qiu, and Yingkang does not need to bother with the child's surname, he knows very well that no matter whether the current kingdom of Qiuguo nominally belongs to the father of Qiushi or his own child, Yingguo is actually his own.

Because the Kingdom of Yu is much better than Sancheng in terms of geographical location and city construction, after the death of Princess Ruoxi, Yingkang directly moved his capital from Sancheng to Yucheng. Since then, Yingkang has completely occupied the land of Yuguo, Sanguo, and Qianyi to the west of Guanzhong, with Haojing in the east, Qinling in the south, Longshan in the north, and Sanguan in the west, which is not a small place.

Guarding such a large area, Ying Kang and his courtiers felt that they had a heavy burden on their shoulders at the moment.

So when the Inu Rong army was in the wilderness in Hojing, Yingkang, who stayed here, was not idle, he had been paying attention to Hojing's movements.

Is it a modern person after all? He is very aware of the final result of this matter, and he has to prevent it before and prepare in advance.

"Your Majesty, the Dog Rong army has broken through Jingshui and come to the land of Guanzhong."

"Your Majesty, the armies of countries such as Inurong and Shen are storming Hojing."

"Your Majesty, the Left Route Army of the Dog Rong attacked the royal family's Weibei camp, killed tens of thousands of royal troops, and burned the camp."

"Your Majesty, the Inurong army attacked the royal Lishan camp and captured the camp, and the royal defenders were defeated and fled from the camp."

"Your Majesty, the Inu Rong army has conquered Hojing, and the Heavenly Palace has led people to escape from Hojing."

......

One news after another came, and Yingkang's face became more and more solemn.

"Your Majesty, we are royal courtiers, if there is no royal family, there will be no today for our Qin people, you give me 2,000 soldiers and horses now, and I will lead the troops to Hojing to rescue the royal family." Listening to one news after another coming from Haojing, Da Sima Zhao Boyu couldn't sit still and said to Yingkang.

"Rescue? What do you do to save the royal family. Ying Kang looked at Zhao Boyu with a dissatisfied expression, "Have you heard that the dog Rong army is divided into three ways to attack the royal family?" Attacking Haojing all the way, attacking Weibei Camp all the way, and attacking Lishan Camp all the way, this fully shows that the total strength of the people is no less than 30,000. The enemy has 30,000 cavalry, how many soldiers and horses our Qin people have, do you know? ”

"You know, there are about 10,000 soldiers." Zhao Boyu also said angrily.

"Just our about 10,000 soldiers and horses, as well as guarding the cities of Yucheng, Sancheng, Qianyi, Chenyi, etc., scattered into each city, one city is two or three thousand soldiers and horses, what can soldiers and horses do with this? It's good enough to be able to defend the city, but do you have soldiers and horses there to rescue the royal family? Ying Kang almost roared at Zhao Boyu.

Zhao Boyu listened, no longer spoken, he also followed Yingkang all the way to fight, of course he knew that fighting a war not only depends on the number of people, but also depends on various factors, but the number of people is definitely an aspect that cannot be ignored.

In addition to the soldiers and horses who have defended the city, the current Qin people can use about 2,000 mobile soldiers and horses.

Two thousand Qin troops against thirty thousand cannons and cavalry, if there is no problem with their brains, no one will take this risk.

"Xiangguo, I decided to go to Hokyo to see the current battle situation in person, and during my absence, you will be in charge of the country." Ying Kang turned his head to Zhao Boyu and said, "During my absence, you must personally go to several of our cities to check the garrison of the city guards, and don't dare to take it lightly." ”

"Your Majesty, you want to leave the city? How can you leave at this time? What should we do if the dog suddenly rushes over with his troops? After Ying Zhao heard Ying Kang's words that he was leaving Yucheng, he said nervously.

If you don't say it clearly, you can't argue and you can't understand it.

The current Yingzhao, Zhao Boyu and others are already very aware of the enemy's strength, and they have wiped out such a powerful Zhou royal family in an instant.

"Brother, don't worry, in fact, this time is the safest time, a dog Rong finally won the pickaxe after several fierce battles, and his strength is somewhat damaged; The second is that the dog Rong is a barbarian nation, after they attacked the city of Guanzhong, burning, killing and looting, all evil, Hojing is the capital of the royal family, extremely luxurious, and the dog Rong must have robbed a lot of good things. With so many things, how could they have so much energy to attack other countries in Guanzhong? ”

After listening to Ying Kang's words, Ying Zhao nodded yes, "Your Excellency is right, but even so, we can't take it lightly, after all, in addition to the dog Rong, there are also countries such as Shen, Xu, and Zhang. At present, these countries have undoubtedly embarked on the road of anti-thieves, and if they take the opportunity to make trouble, we also need to guard against it! ”

"Xiangguo is reasonable, I actually want to explore the situation in Haojing when I go out of the city this time, and by the way, I want to think about the next move of our Qin people."

Then Ying Kang turned his head to the two and said: "The royal family is destroyed, Hojing is empty, and after the dog retreats, the land around Hojing will definitely become the object of contention for the countries around Hojing." If we hesitate, the fruits will surely be swallowed up by other countries. ”

Ying Zhao and Zhao Boyu knew that since ancient times, the land around Haojing was the best place of all the land in the entire Guanzhong, and if the Qin people could take the land of Haojing, it would definitely be a good thing.

Now that Ying Kang has made his words very clear, what else can Ying Zhao say, "What the king said is very good, the dog Rong is a nomadic people, even if they conquer Hojing, they will not continue to occupy Hojing." The fall of the Zhou royal family will definitely covet this place from the surrounding countries. It's just that the situation in Guanzhong is critical at the moment, and it is very dangerous for Junshang to go out of the city at this time, or let Bo Yu or Chen Xing go out of the city to check. ”

Ying Zhao is also Ying Kang's brother anyway, he knows very well the status and importance of Ying Kang among the Qin people at this time, and it is absolutely dangerous to let Ying Kang out of the city at this time.

As soon as Zhao Boyu heard this, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, Xiangguo is right, the current Guanzhong is full of dangers, we don't know where the dog Rong is, as the king of a country, it is absolutely dangerous for you to go out of the city at this time, or let me take a few soldiers and horses out of the city to check the situation around Haojing." By the way, killing a few dog soldiers can be regarded as revenge for the royal family. ”

Zhao Boyu's favorite thing in his life is to fight, and it is such a big thing that Dog Rong sent troops to attack the Central Plains, and he failed to lead troops to rescue, which is simply a regret in life. Now that he finally has a good opportunity to investigate the situation, and by the way, he can also kill Inu Rong, and he will definitely not give up.

However, this time Ying Kang was not ready to give him this opportunity, Ying Kang waved his hand and said: "Da Sima is not a different general, at the moment, you are shouldering the heavy responsibility of protecting our territory, and it is better to guard our territory well." It's better for me to go to Hokyo to check the situation. ”

Since Yingkang insisted on going in person, Yingzhao didn't say anything more, so he asked: "Since the king wants to go in person, let's bring more soldiers, so that there will be a good response on the way." ”

Ying Kang waved his hand, "I'm just checking the situation, and I'm not going to fight with the dogs, what do you need so many soldiers and horses to do?" If there are more people, it will be troublesome, and a hundred people are enough. ”

Since the monarch insisted on going there in person, Yingzhao and the others had no choice but to agree.
