Compared with a few years ago, the old general Ju Mao's back is already rickety, and if he can't stand up his back, he naturally can't play any weapons.

Although today's Ju Mao is not worried about food and clothing in the sect, after all, he is a companion of the old days every day, drinking some wine and remembering the past.

The only thing worth mentioning is that the speed of Great Qin's expansion in recent years has been too fast, and even Ju Mao was a little caught off guard.

Every victory made Ju Mao feel unreal.

In the battle of Yancheng, Daqin did not lose a single soldier, but defeated the army of tens of thousands of people in Jingdi, so that in the north of the great river, there was no existence that could stop the Qin army's southern expedition.

In the Battle of Yingdu, Ju Mao was angry about the betrayal of the alliance of the Chu State, and not only a few days later, he heard the news that the Qin army had defeated the Chu army in Yingdu, and the Chu State and the Alliance had ceded the land north of the river.

Ju Mao's shooting case was shocked, and he also came out with a spirit that is rarely seen on weekdays, and pulled the sleeve of his old friend Gou Yun and said, "Haha...... The old general's vision seems to be still accurate! ”

Gou Yi scoffed at this, but nodded, I have to say that the battles fought by Daqin in the past few years have indeed been very happy.

If it weren't for the news from Kansai this time, the old people in the sect mansion such as Ju Mao and Gou Bu would definitely feel that they would still be silent.

But the old Qindi in Kansai finally sent people.

Zhao Yong passed some news of the Northern Qin to the old men of Ju Mao and Gou Bai, saying that the old Qin people in Guanxi had already killed the mountains of Longxi and recaptured the old capital Liyang.

This time, the Northern Qin Office gathered the various tribes with the surname Ying scattered in the land of Guanxi, such as the Ziche clan and the three major tribes of Mengxibai, and gradually recaptured the land of Guanxi from the Longdi Rong people.

A few years later, Northern Qin had already won over Yiqu, or the Longdi Rong tribe such as the dog Rong retreated from Longxi.

Ju Mao's hard work is surging, if he was in charge of the army back then, Ju Mao must have led the army back to Northern Qin and returned to his homeland.

But now, after being poured a basin of cold water by Gou Bai, Ju Ma found that the military power in his hands had been collected by the Duke of Qin, and he could not be transferred by Ju Mao.

Ju Mao originally wanted to use his old face to persuade the Duke of Qin to send troops, but Ju Mao brought a kind of old man from the Northern Qin into the Duke of Qin to find that the Duke of Qin in the Xuanzheng Hall was not as easy to talk as he was back then.

Even if Ju Mao proposed that he only needed to send the old Qin people around Wuguan to gather and rush to Northern Qin to support, the Duke of Qin would not allow it.

Why is that?

Today's Northern Qin is fighting and fighting against the Rong people on the land of Guanxi, and it has become a foregone conclusion that the Rong people are losing and retreating.

The reason why Northern Qin summoned many Qin tribes, even thousands of miles away, crossed the Qinling Mountains to find Southern Qin, was that Southern Qin needed to send troops to support Northern Qin.

What to do in support of Northern Qin?

It is to make a comeback, seize Hangu Pass, and start a second Hexi battle with Wei again!

Ju Mao knew that Northern Qin could once again have the strength to start the Second Hexi War, and what a difficult time it had endured in the past few decades.

Therefore, he even continued to give the courtesy of a courtier, let go of all the arrogance in his life, and asked the Duke of Qin to send troops to support Northern Qin, without losing the blood of the surname Ying flowing in his body.

However, how could the Duke of Qin not know what the consequences would be if he ventured to support Northern Qin and Wei at this moment!

I learned again that Wei Qi had reached some kind of secret alliance, and the Duke of Qin completely extinguished the desire to support Northern Qin in his heart, and resolutely suppressed the matter.

Helplessly, after Ju Mao left, he could only take two or three clansmen to Lin Yuyan's mansion alone.

saw this old general of the Ju clan again, and his old appearance also made Lin Yuyan sigh.

Compared with the estrangement with the Duke of Qin, Ju Mao and Lin Yuyan are not outside, Lin Yuyan has been fighting outside in the past two years, but the gift letter that should be prepared for Ju Mao, the old general, is a lot.

Even after Lin Yuyan became the prince, Ju Mao continued to treat him as a promising junior.

Therefore, Ju Mao did not know how to reason with emotion, but asked directly: "Yan boy, can you send a team of soldiers and horses to support Guanxi Lao Qin?" ”

Although the Duke of Qin had nominally gathered military power, it was only limited to the three armies of the Nanyang Army, the Yulin Army and the Praetorian Guard.

Because of Lin Yuyan's status as a prince and his ability to lead troops into battle, Duke Qin also relieved himself to hand over the soldiers and horses outside Nanyang to his command.

It is precisely because of this that Ju Mao has this question.

"Yes!"

Unexpectedly affirmed, Lin Yuyan agreed directly.

After Ju Mao's look of surprise, he laughed out loud, patted Lin Yuyan's shoulder with one hand, and said, "I know that your kid will not disappoint Lao Mou!" ”

"But the old general may know what the consequences will be for my Great Qin if he sends troops to support Lao Qin in Kansai?"

"This ......" Ju Mao's face was a little unhappy, and he looked at Lin Yuyan and said, "If you kid wants to say it, just say it, Hugh will swallow it!" ”

"First, when Wei learned that Daqin supported Guanzhong Lao Qin, it must have cut off the food supply to Daqin, and the lack of food in Daqin at that time must have caused famine, and the civil unrest in various places at that time made the rivers and mountains of Daqin a mess!"

"Second, there are no two days in the sky, there are no two lords in the country, if Great Qin sends troops to support the old Qin in Guanxi, will it be respected by the Ying surname Zhao, or will the Ying surname Lin be the main thing?"

"Third, the Northern Qin is still in trouble, Wei is the lord of the world, Guanxi Lao Qin may be able to fight with Wei, but now that Wei and Qi have joined forces, Guanxi Lao Qin can still defeat Qi after he thinks he can defeat Wei?"

Lin Yuyan looked at Ju Mao and asked, "If the old general solves any of these three concerns, even if the monarch does not agree, I will send troops to support the old Qin in Guanxi!" ”

The last sentence was a lie, Ju Mao didn't take it seriously, looking at Lin Yuyan, Ju Mao didn't say anything for a long time.

In the end, it was also Lin Yuyan who was very fast calmly, "Old general, I think that the steps of Lao Qin in Guanzhong are indeed too fast, rather than trying his best to fight with Wei at this time, it is better to lie dormant for three years......"

"The situation in the Central Plains is changing rapidly, especially between Wei Qi, it must be an alliance for fame and fortune, but Wei Qi is an enemy after all, and it will be a betrayal of the alliance in less than three years......"

"As for the old Qin in Guanxi, there are still countless Rong people in the land of Guanxi, although the Northern Qin defeated the Rong people at this time, but I think the old general also knows that the Rong people are appendaged, like wild grass, wildfires are inexhaustible, and the spring breeze blows and grows."

"If the old Qin of Kansai sends troops to Hangu at this time and starts the battle of Hexi, the surrounding Zhurong must be unable to resist attacking the land ......of Kansai, which makes the old Qin of Kansai only able to win quickly."

"If you can't win quickly, the army will be defeated or even dragged on for too long, and the old Qin foundation will be coveted and occupied by Zhurong."

"But from the old general's point of view, can the old Qin of Guanxi quickly defeat the Hexi County that the Wei State has been operating for decades?"

Lin Yuyan also knew that Ju Mao's personality was naturally not able to say things that would make others want to destroy his prestige, even if it was the truth.

Therefore, Lin Yuyan also said directly: "Therefore, in my opinion, the old Qin of Guanxi does not have to rush east, you might as well continue to gather the old Qin people, accumulate strength, and first solve the big trouble of Zhurong entrenched around the land of Guanxi!" ”

"Which is right and which is wrong, the old general has his own balance in his heart, so I won't say more......"

……

Ju Mao didn't return in defeat, but out of the gate of Lin Yuyan's mansion, Ju Gong also supported him.

"Old general......" Ju Gong asked, "Did Gongzi Yan also refuse?" ”

Ju Mao shook his head, and then looked at Ju Gong and said: "Lao Mou finally knows why Yan Boy was able to lead his troops to defeat the Chu State, and he was the prince as a concubine......

Then Ju Mao's eyes also looked at Gongzi Yan's mansion behind him, and said: "What was originally given him ten years to complete, this kid has completed it all within three years, what else is there to demand......

"Another three years, but I don't know if Lao Mou's stump can last another three years!"

"Da Da Da ......"

There was a sound of horses' hooves, and Ju Mao followed the sound of the horse's hooves to look over, dressed in clothes, which made Ju Mao feel strange and familiar.

That's the dress of the old Qin people in Kansai.

It is the son of the old Qin Huan surnamed Zhao in Kansai, and Ju Mao has also seen it, and his name is Yingqian.

Looking at its direction, it seems to be heading straight for Gongziyan's mansion.

Ju Mao frowned, at this time, Ying Qian came to Gongzi Yan's mansion, and Ju Mao knew what it meant when he guessed.

Ying Qian also saw Ju Mao, and Ying Qian also remembered this veteran of Southern Qin's insistence on sending troops to Guanxi.

"Old lady Ju!"

Ju is also a branch of the fourteenth surname of Ying, according to the generation, Yingqian is indeed to be honored Ju Mao in a "Taigong".

Ju Mao already knew that Great Qin would never be able to send troops at this time, because after hearing Lin Yuyan's words, it also made Ju Mao know the disadvantages of sending troops to support Northern Qin at this time.

"Let's talk about ...... when I go back with the old man"

"But ......"

"Don't be disobedient!" Ju Mao also turned his head to look at Ying Qian, and said: "Among the stakes, Lao Mou naturally wants to make it clear to you!" ”

Seeing Ju Mao, who suddenly became serious, Yingqian, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, also looked pale, and was very puzzled to think about why the old lady Ju, who was very supportive of sending troops to Guanxi Lao Qin in the past, changed her face so quickly.

However, as a veteran of the old Qin in Kansai, Ju Mao's qualifications and age are all presumptuous and unbridled.

Yingqian sighed, and it was answered.

With the support of Ju Gong, Ju Mao stepped down the steps of Gongziyan's mansion step by step, wanting to return home.

Yingqian, looking back, looked at the wide door plaque in front of Gongziyan's mansion with understanding, and seemed to have thought of something......
