The battle of Yingdu, with the entry of the Chu army into Yingdu, the Jing army all withdrew, and finally ended.

However, on the second day after the Chu army entered Yingdu, the Qin ** team stationed in the north city of Yingdu, and the Chu State also sent an envoy to meet Lin Yuyan.

Although the envoy of the state of Chu gave verbal praise to the Qin state for its achievements in the battle of the war, there was only one real meaning, that is, the state of Chu ordered the Qin army to withdraw to the north bank of the river as the master of the capital of Ying.

Knowing the meaning of the Chu people, Lin Yuyan also had no dispute of will, after all, most of the wealth in Yingdu fell into the hands of the Qin State.

Although Lin Yuyan agreed to withdraw to the north bank of the river, he bought three days for the Qin army again on the grounds of army rectification.

After transporting all the accumulations of Yingdu Beicheng to Zhecheng, Lin Yuyan did not stop, and directly led the follow-up Qin army back to Zhecheng.

The Qin army retreated, and the Chu army, which had already been in full array, immediately recovered the garrison of the northern city of Yingdu, and even cut off the hard-won Dajiang pontoon bridge at the moment in front of the Qin army's soldiers.

Lin Yuyan, who learned of this movement, also narrowed his eyes, and Fan Xuan on the side also said: "The Chu people are guarding against Great Qin......

Subsequently, Fan Xuan also hugged his fists and advised Lin Yuyan: "Your Highness, scouts should be dispatched at this time to pay attention to the movements of Wu State, Wu Chu's interests are too entangled, as early as the time of Wancheng, the monarch and the prime minister are sure that Wu has other plans!" ”

"This time I came to Zhecheng, and a few pieces of news made me even more sure, the battle of Jingjing, Wu State's aid to Chu, it was really ill-intentioned!"

Sure enough, just before Fan Xuan's words fell, Daqin's scouts were to return by exploring horses, as early as yesterday, the army of Wu State stationed in the south of Yingdu City had all retreated and retreated to Yuzhang Pengli.

"The Wu army withdrew so quickly?" Fan Xuan never thought that the Wu ** team would move so quickly, so Fan Xuan also looked at the Qin State scout and asked, "Does the Chu State have chasing soldiers?" ”

"No, I didn't." The scout replied: "The Wu army has left a military horse to bluff, the main army and horses have already retreated a few days ago, and by the time the Chu army discovers, the Wu army has already arrived at Peng Li's station!" ”

In this way, it made Fan Xuan nod, although Fan Xuan was not good at military affairs, but after all, he knew about the deceit between the princes, and immediately turned back to Lin Yuyan and said: "Your Highness, it seems that there are also capable people in the Wu army, and the army is so fast, even the Great Qin army is not yet able to reach it!" ”

Fan Xuan has an understanding of the speed of the Great Qin's army, it seems that between two or three days, it is able to travel hundreds of miles of turning distance, according to the current foot strength of the Great Qin army, it is absolutely impossible to complete, if it was still the era of the Nanyang Army before, it is still possible, but since His Royal Highness Gongzi Yan took charge of the military, the long-distance rush to the first battle can only be regarded as the burning of the Jingling granary in Jiangxia.

This is not a regression of the Qin ** team, but a kind of progress, it seems that today's Great Qin army not only imitated the Central Plains, the implementation of the military salary system, what is more rare is that the army of Great Qin must carry a large number of siege equipment, for example, the trebuchet, so that the speed of the march is inevitably slowed down.

Moreover, even in the army of the Qin State, the weight of the soldiers is not light now, take a soldier of the Mo Barracks as an example, the personal armament carried is enough to carry the weight of ten people in the past, and the inner three layers of armor and the outer three layers of armor are also the assistants who have to equip a regular sergeant of the Mo Barracks with two or three assistants.

Although the speed of the march has been reduced, with large siege equipment, complete military armor, and sharp swords, it has also made Great Qin's foreign wars invincible in the past few years.

The reason why the Wu people were able to withdraw their troops so quickly was that the soldiers of the Wu State often only had a layer of outer armor to cover the vital points, and they only carried a sharp bronze Wu hook with them.

For Fan Xuan's words, Lin Yuyan also nodded in agreement, after all, as far as Fan Li was concerned, he admired the members of the "Dead Chu Party" above the court of Wu State, Bo Pi, and Sun Changqing, the general of Wu State, which also made Lin Yuyan a little headache, Fan Li alone could make Lin Yuyan jealous of this Wu State, coupled with the famous generals of Wu State, so that Lin Yuyan inadvertently raised the threat of Wu State to a higher level than Chu State.

Fan Xuan said again: "Your Highness is transporting troops, originally the royal city was prepared for two years of taxes to support the southern expedition of Great Qin, who could have expected that His Royal Highness only took less than a year to expand the land of Jiangbei into the territory of Great Qin, and the casualties of the generals in the army were few, and the Xincai Alliance was the most powerful alliance in the Central Plains in the past ten years, and Great Qin was therefore the dominant Central Plains, and the monarch was very satisfied with His Highness's performance!" ”

Although Fan Xuan is a disciple of the Legalists, he came up from the lower class of civilians after all, although he is not as honest as the left minister Feng Jian, but after all, he has some deliberate intentions, especially at the moment, no matter what the Chu State moves, as long as the Qin State locks the Yangtze River, it is impossible for the army of the Chu State to cross the Lei Chi half a step, and it is precisely because of this that Nanjun and Jiangxia are free of war.

Nanjun and Jiangxia, which have no war, for Daqin, as long as they send people to control floods, dredge ditches, and build water conservancy, they are real granaries!

And in this Zhecheng, Fan Xuan came to this Zhecheng, and he also knew that there were still strange things such as "Ganzhe" here, and when he saw those sticky syrup, clumped sugar cubes, Fan Xuan couldn't help but stretch out his hand and taste two bites.

Qi dominates the Central Plains because of sea salt, but Fan Xuan, who is a Qi person, knows that in the rich Qi country, the price of this starch sugar is more than several times that of sea salt, and compared to sea salt, it is even more valuable in Qi country!

With these Gan Zhe in Zhecheng, although Fan Xuan is a scholar of the Legalist family, when he was young, because of the poverty of his family, he also followed the rich man in Linzi, the capital of Qi State, and learned to do business, although he only learned some skin, but when he learned that Jiangxia under the rule of Gongzi Yan was a Jiangxia commercial house with a rich and rival country, Fan Xuan had already decided to ask Gongzi Yan to open a branch of Jiangxia Commercial Bank in Zhecheng!

"Rest for another half a month, check the merits of the soldiers and horses of the Southern Expedition, and those rewards will be dispersed as soon as possible, if there is no movement in the Chu State after half a month, the army will return to their respective stations!" Lin Yuyan finally said to Fan Xuan.

If it weren't for the current time, the dynamics of the Chu State would be really unclear, and Lin Yuyan also wanted to lead the army back to Daqin as soon as possible, but the silence of the Chu army at the moment was a bit unusual, especially after the Wu State withdrew its troops and retreated to Peng Li, the Chu State actually did not move!

Sure enough, a few days later, Wu sent an envoy over, just as Lin Yuyan expected, it was Fan Li, the current doctor of Wu State, who came to the Qin military camp, and when he saw Lin Yuyan, Fan Li never mentioned the secret alliance between Wu and Qin.

When Lin Yuyan saw Fan Li and couldn't help but ask the bottom line, Fan Li said: "Yuzhang has the danger of Peng Li and the high mountains, and the Wu State has gathered 100,000 elite troops of Wu Zhongerlang in Pengli, how can the Chu people dare to start a war in Peng Li easily......"

Subsequently, Fan Li insinuated that Qi Guo was carrying Wu Guo behind his back, and secretly reached an agreement with the Jing King Miyun, and after looting most of the accumulation in the palace of Yingdu, he planted it to Wu Guo, but Fan Li really couldn't grasp the handle of this matter, and Lin Yuyan also didn't reveal it, and never admitted it, Fan Li had no choice but to give up.

The example then explained that he should only play in Zhecheng for a few days these days, so that Lin Yuyan should not take care of himself.

Although Lin Yuyan didn't know what Fan Li's meaning was, he finally agreed, after all, with this virtuous person by his side, Lin Yuyan wanted to be very useful to Daqin's governance of Zhecheng during this period of time.

Sure enough, it didn't take a few days for Lin Yuyan to find out Fan Li's intentions, the reason was that the Chu State actually sent people to the Qin military camp at this moment, and the words he said also made Lin Yuyan clench his fists, and suddenly sounded, what Fan Li said in front of him that day, "How can the Chu people dare to easily start a war in Pengli".

"If you can't beat Wu Guo, will you use Daqin as a soft persimmon!"

Lin Yuyan looked at the envoy of the Chu State, and there was a fierce light in his eyes, and said.

The Chu envoy was also frightened, but he still said to Lin Yuyan strongly: "The two armies will not fight and will not kill the envoys, and please ask Gongzi Yan...... According to my king's orders, return the land of Jiangbei to a certain great Chu country! ”

Swish!

This Chu envoy's face turned pale after he spoke, because he saw that the Qin Gongzi Ying Yan on the opposite side had already put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, stood up, and was approaching him step by step.

Lin Yuyan didn't expect that the dignified state of Chu would actually ignore its prestige and go back on the promise of the king of Chu at the beginning of the Xincai Alliance, and actually wanted to take back the land north of the river from Daqin, and even Yancheng would be returned to Chu, leaving only a small Lu County in Daqin!

The Chu envoy heard the sound of Qin Gongzi pulling out his long sword, and when he was trembling, he heard Qin Gongzi reply: "The land north of the Great Qin and the sharp blade of Great Qin are tied together, go back and tell the King of Chu that I will send troops in a few days after Daqin...... Attack Yingdu! ”

Chu Envoy looked at Qin Gongzi, who exuded a violent atmosphere, and said a few words resignedly, but he seemed to be afraid of the blade in Qin Gongzi's hand, and without saying a few words, he quickly turned around and left.

After the Chu envoy left, Lin Yuyan could only reveal the murderous aura that could be revealed when he was restrained, and he also said at the moment: "Then did the King of Chu really cook Daqin as a bird and hide the rabbit and the dead dog?" ”

At this moment, he should have learned the news of the return of the Chu envoy, and Fan Li also rushed to Lin Yuyan's face, as if he looked at Lin Yuyan with a bit of a mocking smile.

"Fan Zi came to Jiangbei, is it just for the current situation?" Lin Yuyan also asked rhetorically.

Fan Li said: "As His Highness can see, Qin and Chu will never be one, but Wu Qin may not be able to be one......
