August 20 of the first year of Great Qin II.

Li Yan lay quietly on the brocade couch, looking at the top of the brocade couch with his eyes open.

This is the dormitory before she was canonized as the queen, Chaohua Palace. She now sleeps on the same brocade couch that she has slept on for years. Now that I am back again, sleeping on this brocade couch, I feel naturally different.

Yesterday, Hu Hai never found a chance to tell Su Wan about Su You in Su Mansion, seeing that the sky was getting dark, after having dinner with Su Wan in Su Mansion, Hu Hai directly took Li Yan and Yu Ji back to Xianyang Palace.

Li Yan didn't even go back to the Li Mansion.

Back in Xianyang Palace, Hu Hai asked Yu Ji to accompany Li Yan to Chaohua Palace, which naturally gave the two a chance to get close. And he went to Concubine Li's bedroom. Yu Ji and Li Yan quickly became acquainted. Both of them are women with a blue heart, and they know very well what the emperor thinks. What's more, the age of the two daughters was already about the same, and by the time Yu Ji left Chaohua Palace, the two daughters were already sisters.

After Yu Ji left, Li Yan began to feel apprehensive in his heart.

She was worried that Hu Hai would come to her bedroom tonight, and she was still in the period of filial piety, so it was obviously inappropriate to do things for men and women at this time, but now Hu Hai She knew very well that she was no longer the cowardly prince she saw on the night of her wedding, how should she refuse?

But at the same time, she was a little looking forward to Hu Hai coming to her dormitory tonight. Although she is still a virgin and has never been involved with men and women, she knows from Yu Ji's hairstyle that this woman, who has not yet been officially canonized by the emperor in the harem, has already had sex with the emperor. This also made her feel a little resentful.

One night, Li Yan fell asleep unconsciously in the contradictory mood of gains and losses.

At this moment, she has just woken up.

Outside the window, it was already bright.

The emperor, did not come.

Unconsciously, Li Yan thought of the long letter his father left for him.

…… Hu Hai slept in his own bedroom, of course he was not alone. Yu Ji didn't know if it was really to eat the marrow and know the taste, or in order to complete the regret in Concubine Li's heart, she had basically fully recovered her body, and she tossed with Hu Hai until the middle of the night, before she fell asleep exhausted.

When the morning light was slightly dewed, Hu Hai had already climbed up from the brocade couch, and did not wake up the sleeping moisturized and delicate Yu Ji, and began to exercise in the morning.

When Ying Yi received the red letter from Jiuyuan and hurried to Xianyang Palace, Hu Hai, who had already had breakfast, was summoning Yu Ji's brother Yu Ziqi in his study.

In two days, Yu Tong will arrive in Xianyang.

Since Yu Ziqi followed Hu Hai to Xianyang and recovered from his injuries, he became a member of the Tiger Ben Army in the Bashang battalion. Joining him as a soldier was Zhong Liwei, who pursued Han Shin all the way from Surabaya to Xianyang.

Zhong Liwei didn't see Han Xin, but found Yu Yu's mansion. Hu Hai specially ordered Yu Ziqi and Zhong Liwei to be incorporated into the Tiger Ben Army at the same time. However, because of a letter from Meng Kuo, Zhong Liwei followed the Tiger Ben Army into Bashu, but Yu Zi was left behind.

After all, Yu Ji is married, and Yu Ziqi, who is the elder brother, has to be on the side. What's more, Yu Tong is coming to Xianyang, so he naturally wants to meet Yu Ziqi, an unfilial son who dared to escape from home with his sister without permission.

What's more, Bashu faced the three counties of Nanyue, no one knew when Yu Zi would die on the battlefield, Hu Hai did not pay attention to the surname of ordinary soldiers and deliberately gave preferential treatment to Yu Zi period, after all, Yu Zi period is also his brother-in-law, and it is better to take Hu Hai with him than to travel thousands of miles.

Therefore, after only a few days of becoming a tiger army in the Yuzi period, he became a small soldier of the forbidden army. As for the identity of the Yuzi period, the commanders of the five major legions did not know except for Win One.

However, once Yu Ji gets married, the identity of Yu Ziqi will inevitably be impossible to conceal.

For the high-ranking brother-in-law in front of him, the more Yu Ziqi understood, the more awe he felt in his heart. At the same time, I am glad for my brother and sister. However, he didn't want his brother-in-law to deliberately take care of him because he was Yu Ji's brother. He also didn't want to disgrace the emperor.

While Ying Yi was talking outside the study, Hu Hai was thinking about Yu Ziqi's request to enter the three major army corps that was about to go south to join the army.

"Come in!" Hu Hai heard the report of Win Yi and said lightly.

As soon as Ying Yi entered the study with the red letter from Jiuyuan, he saw Yu Ziqi standing in the study at a glance, nodded at Yu Ziqi and strode to the bronze case in front of Hu Hai and said, "Your Majesty, the red letter from Jiuyuan!" ”

Although Yu Ziqi is the emperor's brother-in-law, he is still a nameless soldier after all. Win one naturally doesn't need to salute him.

When Ying Yi walked into the study, Hu Hai had already seen the red letter in his hand. At this moment, when I heard him say that it was from Jiuyuan, I was shocked in my heart. Is it really that what you are worried about will come and what you can't achieve?

Hu Hai didn't directly reach out and open the red letter that was placed in Jiuyuan, and smiled at Yu Ziqi, who was standing aside, and said, "Brother Yu, go down first." I will consider what you say. ”

"Whoa!" Yu Ziqi replied respectfully.

When Yu Ziqi left, Hu Hai stretched out his hand to open the red letter, glanced at it slightly, his eyes were slightly condensed, and then he said, "Go and summon Master Taishi and the two prime ministers." Speaking of this, Hu Hai hesitated for a moment and said, "Summoning the old Zongzheng and Zhang Cang together." Go to the council hall for a court meeting. Ying Yi didn't read the content of the letter, and when he saw that the emperor's expression remained unchanged and thought that there was no big deal, his heart was slightly relieved, and when he heard Hu Hai's words, he hurriedly responded: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

Hu Hai slowly walked to the huge map under the hall, looked at the direction of Jiuyuan and said to himself: "This Mao Dun is quite good at choosing the time!" ”

Half an hour later, Wei Yi, Feng Quji, Li You, Ying Teng, Zhang Cang, Yao Jia and other three princes and nine secretaries all arrived at the council hall.

After everyone had saluted and sat down, Hu Hai, who was sitting at the top, walked down the hall and stood in front of the map, turned around and looked at the puzzled Daqin ministers, and said lightly: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have just received a letter from the Jiuyuan Army, and the Huns led at least 400,000 people to the south in Maodun, and now they are heading straight for the Jiuyuan. I think tonight you can reach the Great Wall outside Kuhara County. ”

When Hu Hai's words fell, there was silence in the council hall at first, and then everyone exclaimed in unison. Immediately, he saw the young emperor standing in front of the huge map, and the inexplicable smile on his face suddenly became quiet again.

The emperor seems to be confident.

"Let's discuss it." After Hu Hai finished speaking, he turned his head and looked around the map.

Today, the White Tiger, Qinglong and Xuanwu Army will divide their troops and go south in two ways. The bulky Xuanwu army went south to Nanyang via Wuguan Road, and then advanced directly from Nanyang to Hengshan from the west to Jiujiang, while the Qinglong Army and the White Tiger Army sent a letter to Guguan and then went south, taking over the position of Han Xin and Feng Zai, and Han Xin and Feng Zai's two roads with a total of 200,000 troops were divided into two routes.

Han Xin and Feng Zao's army of more than 100,000 troops each would march eastward after the arrival of the Qinglong Army and the Xuanwu Army, Feng Zao broke through to Jiujiang from Surabaya County, that is, the lower reaches of the Huai River, while Han Xin needed to lead the army to march to Donghai County, and then cross the Yangtze River into Jiangnan and other places.

After arriving in Jiujiang, Heitie's Xuanniao Army has now dispersed to Changsha, Hengshan, Jiujiang, Huiji and other counties. Within a few days of Hu Hai's arrival in Xianyang, Heitie began to send a steady stream of information about the movements of the armies in Xinchu and the open and secret battles between Xiang Liang and the king of Chu and the major families of the Chu State.

Now the new Chu army, in addition to the nearly 200,000 troops brought back by Xiang Liang, has also recruited no less than 200,000 people from the people who have been captured back to Jiujiang from Surabaya and other counties to fill the Chu army, plus more than 100,000 troops under Wu Rui, and now the army of Chu has reached an appalling nearly 600,000 people.

Nearly 400,000 of these armies gathered near Shouchun, and the remaining 200,000 were scattered everywhere, collecting grain, or forcing the people to open up the wasteland, except for Xiang Liang, who sent tens of thousands of troops to guard the hometown of the Xiang clan in Jiangdong.

What Hei Tie doesn't understand is that with so many armies in the Chu State, how Xiang Liang is raised with food, and it seems that Xiang Liang is not short of weapons and armor, and he is also smelting iron to cast weapons and armor. He reported this problem to Hu Hai.

For these doubts of Hei Tie, Hu Hai was also shocked.

It may be possible that Xiang Liang is not short of food, after all, there are so many people, he can at least ensure the supply of the army by collecting food and killing people. But if Xiang Liang does not lack armor and weapons, then there is obviously a problem.

Most of the soldiers in the world were collected and transported to Xianyang by the First Emperor. Naturally, there are copper and iron weapons stored in the treasury of various counties and counties that have not been transported to Xianyang, but they are absolutely unable to arm hundreds of thousands of troops. What's more important is that all the craftsmen in the world are also gathered in Xianyang, where did he come from the craftsmen to make iron and cast soldiers?

Unless, someone is helping him!

And in today's Great Qin, those who can help Xiang Liang and have the ability to help Xiang Liang seem to be unable to find a second one, except for Ziying, who has already established himself as the emperor in South Vietnam and is preparing to go north to regain the emperor's throne.

Those hidden remnants of the Six Kingdoms, if they say that they have some wealth, Hu Hai is not unusual. But it would be strange to say that they even have a lot of craftsmen.

However, this speculation was only in Hu Hai's heart, and he didn't tell anyone. After all, except for the Xuanniao Army, who was able to receive the Xuanniao Army's letter, the rest of the entire Great Qin, including Wei Yi, didn't know.

Hu Hai also hoped that he guessed wrong.

The four-way army, except for Han Xin and Feng Zheng, who are weaker, the rest of the Xuanwu army, Qinglong, and White Tiger are the elite of the elite. With the 200,000 troops of the Qinglong Army and the White Tiger Army as the central arrows, and the two armies of Han Xin and Feng Zheng on the left flank, which were responsible for attacking Huiji and around Jiujiang, where there were fewer defenders, it was obviously no problem.

The Xuanwu army, which was the sharpest in attack and defense, was crushed from Hengshan all the way, and even in the face of 200,000 Chu troops, Hu Hai believed that the Xuanwu army could also fight down.

The four-way army marched hand in hand, which was the march route that Hu Hai, Wei Yu, and Meng Tian discussed to quickly resolve the Xiangliang rebels.

It's just that the timing of this election is too good. (To be continued)
