Zhou Shao glared at Qu Xin, and could see that he was a little unconvinced, as if this young Chu State general had won the trust of Prime Minister Su Qin more than himself, and he felt that he couldn't hold it on his face.

Su Qin explained: "This bag is related to how you will deal with the crisis on the battlefield in the future, and one person must keep it strictly. General Zhou has a straightforward personality and is arrogant, but he is not in a hurry. I think it's better to keep it in the custody of General Qu Xin. ”

Qu Xin took the bag, and in order to comfort Zhou Shao, he also ridiculed: "I'm just a custodian, and the two of us will have to open it together to see it." ”

Su Qin ordered the two of them to get up from the peach garden non-stop, and rushed to Cishan City on the same day, without making any stops in between, through the vast Taihang Mountain, and straight to the northern foot of Huo Taishan, where the ancestral hall of the Zhao clan was located.

If the Zhao family and the Ying family talk about their ancestors, they are still a family. Earlier, the people of Qin and Zhao were actually surnamed Win, because the ancestor of the surname Ying had a father who was good at driving, and he drove to see the Queen Mother of the West for King Mu of Zhou, and made a great contribution, and his branch was sealed in Zhao City before he got the surname Zhao. Later, another branch surnamed Ying, under the leadership of Ying Feizi, put horses for the Zhou royal family in Qindi, Ying Feizi was enshrined in Qin as an official, and his descendants were named one of the princes in the era of King Zhou Ping for their meritorious service in escorting the royal family to move east.

Therefore, the location of the ancestral temple of the Ying family is in Qindi in Longxi, and the location of the ancestral temple of the Zhao family is Huo Taishan.

If you start from Cishan City near Handan and pass through the Taihang Mountains, it will take less than half a day to arrive.

The task assigned by Su Qin to Qu Xin and Zhou Shao was to let the two of them pass through the mountain road of Taihang Mountain and accelerate their march towards Huo Taishan.

However, Qu Xin and Zhou Shao's actions were still half a beat slower after all, and by the time they led an army of 30,000 across the Taihang Mountain, the crown prince Zhao Yong was already in a desperate situation.

The crown prince Zhao Yong did not expect that he would be attacked by the Linhu people in the hinterland of Zhao State, Huotai Mountain, where the ancestral temple was located. The Lin Hu people were far away in the north of Jinyang, five hundred miles away from Huo Tai Mountain, how could they dare to go so far alone.

However, he did not know that the Linhu tribe of Ludao had already coordinated with the combined forces of Qin and Wei led by Zhang Yi and Gongsun Yan, and they attacked him from the north and the south in the Huotai Mountains. With this confidence, of course, the Linhu people have nothing to fear.

The crown prince Zhao Yong fasted for seven days on the side of the ancestral hall of Huo Taishan, and could only eat some vegetarian food every day, and could not get close to women, and lived a hard life. Seeing that this day is coming to an end, after he has sacrificed to the ancestral hall, he can resume his daily life and relax.

Who would have thought that before the sacrificial ceremonies such as offering and bowing were over, the scouts arranged in the surrounding area rushed to the temple.

Zhao Xi first got the report that the Lin Hu people were attacking Huo Taishan, and he asked the scout: "Have you seen clearly, how many Lin Hu people are coming." ”

The scout replied, "There are too few to count, and judging from the dust stirred up by their ranks as they marched, there are at least thirty or forty thousand. These people ride
