Chapter 640: Return to Liyang
Three days later, Lin Yuyan finally arrived in Liyang, since the battle of Pang Fan, knowing that the prime minister of the country Sun Ying intends to take advantage of the victory to attack the territory on the east bank of the Great River of Wei, the old Qin prince can no longer bear it.
Half a month ago, the old Qin Gongjun was from Xianyang all the way east to Liyang, for this old Qin to the bridgehead of Wei, the old Qin Gongjun's mood has not really calmed down one day.
"Gongjun, Gongzi Yan has returned with the soldiers of the Right Army who have won a great victory!" By the side of the old Qin Gongjun, a eunuch reminded.
"Okay...... Good! Standing on top of the city of Liyang, the old Qin Gongjun raised his head, and sure enough, he saw a crowd of people on the other side of the horizon, like a long snake crawling in the sky, slowly moving in the direction of Liyang City.
Old Qin Gongjun couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and said immediately: "Open the city gate and let the soldiers in Liyang beat the drums to welcome the soldiers who have returned triumphantly!" ”
"Whoa!"
Lin Yuyan raised his head and saw the city head of Liyang appear in front of him, and the old Qin eldest princess Yingjue, who was riding a horse in the rear, also spoke: "In order to welcome the soldiers who returned triumphantly, my father-in-law also came to Xianyang from Xianyang!" ”
Sure enough, after Lin Yuyan just nodded, he found that there were already gongs and drums in Liyang, mostly festive, these people who enjoyed safe farming in the hinterland of Lao Qin seemed to be unclear about the casualties and tragedies on the battlefield, and all they could see and hear were all good news of the war distributed by the old Qin court.
It seems that once Lao Qin wants to go to war, he will be invincible and invincible, and there will be good news everywhere.
Once the success is achieved, only standing at the top of Lao Qin's authority can know, how many lives can be exchanged for the good news of the outcome of the war!
In order to raise merit for these victorious soldiers, the old Qin Gongjun also came down from the top of the city of Liyang and went to the southeast suburbs of Yueyang three or four miles to welcome the triumphant returnees.
"Foreign minister Ying Yan has seen the prince!" Lin Yuyan saw that the old Qin Gongjun was actually welcoming the soldiers outside the city, and in order to take care of the etiquette, he also chose to dismount and salute the old Qin Gongjun.
"No need to be polite!" Old Qin Gongjun walked quickly in front of Lin Yuyan, helped the latter up, and said with a smile: "I returned triumphantly today, and I made immortal achievements for the lonely old Qin, and I also used my foreign ministers to humble myself?!" ”
"Haha......" Old Qin Gongjun laughed twice, as if he noticed the eldest daughter Yingjue who followed Lin Yuyan's return, but he didn't say anything, but grabbed Lin Yuyan's sleeve, walked together, and said: "A grand banquet has been set up in Liyang City, which is for the celebration of the soldiers who have returned triumphantly. ”
Lin Yuyan doesn't have to worry about the handover with Liyang's soldiers, and the treasury of Liyang is not much smaller than Xianyang, after all, this is the bridgehead of the old Qin to the east, and nearly ninety percent of the grain that the old Qin army needs to spend when it goes east is all centered on Liyang.
In order to cope with the consumption of the crusade against the Wei State, Lao Qin's food was almost exhausted, and this time he returned victoriously, and the accumulation of this from the Hexi of Wei did not know how many times more than the grain consumed by Lao Qin, so Liyang has become another transit place for Hexi to deliver all kinds of treasures and grains to Xianyang.
Lin Yuyan followed the old Qin Gongjun into Liyang City, and along the way, the old Qin Gongjun also praised Lin Yuyan's practice of leading the army for hundreds of miles to attack Anyi, the former capital of Wei, and also took out his own example of the year: "Once upon a time, Lone was the first soldier to lead the old Qin people to charge into battle, but he did not dare to lead strange soldiers to attack the ancient capital of Wei like you!" ”
The reason is that Shimen Mountain is too dangerous, if it weren't for the fact that Lao Qin had enough troops to contain the Hexi County of Wei in the area of Dahe Fenyin, and it was Wei Wushu who had already declined into the ranks of weak soldiers, even if Lin Yuyan led the army into the hinterland of Hexi of Wei State, it would be difficult to break through Anyi and other fortified cities!
Perhaps, by the time the soldiers of the right army's sharp battalion arrived around Xi'anyi in the Wei River, they would have already become the end of a strong crossbow!
After entering the city of Anyi, the old Qin Gongjun also said to Lin Yuyan: "The letter of the Prime Minister Sun Ying also reached Gu's hands just an hour ago, saying that this time he wants to put on a posture of never ending with the Wei State and strive for the initiative to negotiate with the Wei State......"
Lin Yuyan turned his head and asked, "Gongjun, is there something to worry about?" ”
Hearing this, the old Qin Gongjun laughed dryly, and then said: "If you say that you have no concerns, it is false, after all, Wei has dominated the Central Plains for a long time, and its national strength is already the strongest in the Central Plains. ”
"But as Gongsun Guoxiang said, even if both are defeated, then the lonely old Qin Shang can escape to the mountains of Longxi to recuperate, but Wei ......" Speaking of this, the old Qin Gongjun also smiled: "This is this Central Plains tiger has broken its minions, and its power is no longer there, and it is thought that Southern Qin will also rise up and liven up, such as the ...... that was given to the Wei people Luoyi. ”
The implication of Lao Qin Gongjun's words was to inquire about Lin Yuyan's meaning, if Lao Qin and Wei fought to the death, would Nan Qin get involved, but to disappoint Lao Qin Gongjun, Lin Yuyan did not answer positively.
This is because I recently received letters related to Wancheng, and it is hidden between the lines that Great Qin must be single and out of this Hexi war between Wei and Lao Qin, so that he can be alone.
Lin Yuyan knows why this is the case, after all, Daqin's territory has expanded very quickly recently, if he can't completely digest these territories, seek well-being for the people on them, and ensure the people's livelihood, once the situation changes, blindly expanding the territory can only make Daqin like a high-rise building made of sand, as long as a strong wind blows, it will fall apart in a moment!
After a long time, Lin Yuyan replied to the old Qin Gongjun: "Now that Lao Qin has sent troops to capture the Yin Jin, Shaoliang, Pangcheng and Lishi Fortress in Hexi, even if Lao Qin's war in Hexi in the future is not smooth, he can rely on the danger of the river to block the soldiers and horses of the Wei State, which is enough to worry!" ”
This said, although the old Qin Gongjun did not get the answer he wanted, but after all, it was also good news, and the old Qin Gongjun also replied with a smile: "This is the truth!" ”
Immediately, I had already seen the people in Liyang City singing and dancing, welcoming the triumphant return of the old Qin soldiers into the city, and the old Qin Gongjun also smiled and said: "In any case, Lone is to hand over the peace and state affairs with the Wei State to the Minister of Gongsun State, and Lone is entrusted with state affairs!" ”
This sentence made Lin Yuyan feel the mind of the old Qin Gongjun who does not doubt the use of doubts, and nodded at the moment, no wonder Lao Qin can become the hegemon of the western region today from the state of a weak small country such as the Longxi Mountains!
