Jixia School Palace rescued Zhao Xie, naturally there was a plan! Jixia School Palace exchanged the lives of more than a hundred dead soldiers for Zhao Xie's life, so Zhao Xie naturally has his value! Who would do that?

The cultivation of dead soldiers is not something that can be achieved overnight!

The so-called conspiracy, except for using the identity of Zhao Xie, the bloodline of the Zhao royal family, to raise the banner and oppose Daqin, what else can there be?

The series of policies carried out by the first emperor, in Hu Hai's view, made the same mistakes as the Ming Dynasty in later generations! That is, the army is all in the northern and southern frontiers, but in the vast hinterland, there is an abnormal emptiness of troops!

It is precisely because of this that the remnants of the Six Kingdoms who oppose Qin can march all the way, attacking cities and plundering land, and they are invincible! The soldiers are like snowballs, rolling bigger and bigger! In the end, the tail will not fall!

If 10,000 to 20,000 soldiers could be stationed in each county within Great Qin to quell the rebellion in the early stage of the rebellion of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, then the rebels who lacked the necessary weapons and training would inevitably be annihilated in the snap of a finger!

Therefore, ordering Meng Tian to leave 80,000 troops in Handan, Linzi and Julu counties is precisely to prevent Zhao Xie and Jixia Xuegong from raising troops at any time, and it is also a pilot for Hu Hai to garrison the internal army of Daqin in the future!

Of the 40,000 elite soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army, Meng Tian took away 26,000 soldiers who could ride horses or had ridden horses! And almost all the horses in the army of more than 100,000 people, except for the necessary carts, mules and horses, the rest, whether old horses or weak horses, were all taken away by Meng Tian!

So the remaining nearly 100,000 troops are basically shirtless and desperately on the road! Meng Tian himself knows where his follow-up army has gone now!

The soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army rode one man and two horses, a total of 26,000 people as the vanguard troops, and under the personal leadership of Meng Tian, they came to the aid of Chengwu! The spare horses are all tired and killed on the road!

At the beginning, the soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army were not shirtless like Hu Haijian, but they were fully armed and galloping! Soon a large number of soldiers began to suffer from heat stroke, and Meng Tian had no choice but to order the whole army to take off all the armor, including himself, and only bring the necessary dry food, strong crossbows and bronze swords, and leave the rest of the armor and other things to leave a thousand people and the soldiers who suffered from heat stroke in place to wait for the arrival of the follow-up army!

Even so, Meng Tian's 26,000-strong Jiuyuan Army also lost at least 1,000 people due to heat stroke! Meng Tian, the thousands of soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army who were left halfway because of heat stroke and coma, didn't know how many people would die in the middle! And Meng Tian, a soldier of the Jiuyuan Army who followed him all the way to Chengwu City, has not yet received a specific casualty figure!

In his mind, the tired war horses and soldiers will not be too few!

"The old minister implores Your Majesty, don't be so in danger again!"

This is the first thing Meng Tian said when he saw Hu Hai lying on a stretcher! Earnest words! Meng Tian's inner thighs and buttocks were the same as those Jiuyuan soldiers, the flesh and blood were blurred! Nowadays, it is simply impossible to walk on your own!

While speaking, Meng Tian turned over and wanted to go down to the ground to pay homage to Hu Hai!

"Meng Aiqing doesn't have to be polite!" Hu Hai hurriedly pressed Meng Tian and said, "I am indeed acting a little reckless this time!" Tired Aiqing and the soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army are like this, I am very ashamed! ”

"Your Majesty......" Meng Tian said hurriedly when he saw Hu Hai Gu Zuo!

"Aiqing, don't worry, I promise Aiqing that I will definitely not act like this in the future!" Hu Hai hurriedly said!

"Your Majesty is like this, even if the old minister dies, he will have no regrets!" Meng Tian was relieved when he heard that Hu Hai had finally promised not to do such an uncertain thing in the future!

At this time, Hu Hai also realized the mistake he made in this battle of Chengwu!

In the final analysis, it's not so much that he underestimated Xiang Liang, but that he has too much confidence in himself!

Now, Xiang Liang's hundreds of thousands of troops retreated calmly, and the Jiuyuan army came from a long distance because of themselves, tired of what it is now, it is impossible to pursue at the end of the tail, and can only watch Xiang Liang's army retreat!

Although, in the first battle of Chengwu, Hu Hai relied on the Xuanwu army and a group of pro-army elites, at least more than 100,000 people killed Xiang Liang! However, speaking of which, it seems that the Qin army has suffered more serious losses, you must know that among the more than 100,000 people who killed Xiang Liang, there are still 60,000 people in Xiang Yu's lone army!

However, the elite of Great Qin, who followed Hu Hai to the north, had more than 1,000 casualties among the 4,000 Xuanwu troops! The 14,000 elite cavalry that followed the return to Xianyang were basically not intact, and more than 10,000 people were killed! There are also the people of Chengwu City, with a terrifying death and wound of more than 12,000 people! Almost all of the 3,000 disabled old Qin soldiers who migrated to Chengwu died in this battle of Chengwu! and Zhou Bo, who was a famous general after a little training and a few more battles, also fell in this battle!

Hu Hai now clearly remembers the lovely and respectable old Qin soldiers who were missing a leg but gave fresh peaches to themselves, in order to reduce the casualties of the Great Qin elite, he asked for a one-legged leader to lead three thousand old Qin soldiers to the city wall to face the stone bullets in the sky, Wang Lin and Zhang Fugui!

All of them died in this battle!

If you add the losses of the soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army, Hu Hai killed at least 20,000 Great Qin elites because of this battle! And 20,000 war horses!

And most of Xiang Liang's losses are rabble!

In this battle, where Hu Hai looks at it, it seems that he has played a trick of the tiger and the snake! It makes him feel truly ironic!

Seeing that Hu Hai was silent and his face was depressed, Meng Tian thought that he had made the emperor unhappy because of his words of admonition, and thought for a while: "Your Majesty knows that if the thief chief Xiang Liang did not withdraw his troops this time, but continued to besiege His Majesty, and took the opportunity to set up an ambush in the Nine Plains Army led by the old minister to come to the rescue, my Great Qin would really be in danger!" ”

Speaking of this, Meng Tian continued: "It is within the duty of the old minister and the tens of thousands of Jiuyuan troops to be loyal to His Majesty! However, if there is anything wrong with His Majesty's golden body, I am afraid that the Great Qin will fall apart in this instant! ”

"I'll be fine, Meng Aiqing, Han Xin's more than 100,000 army should arrive at Chengwu if it is as expected!" Hu Hai didn't believe Meng Tian's statement that Great Qin would fall apart, but he knew that it was really possible for Meng Tian to say that if Xiang Liang set up an ambush for the Jiuyuan Army, Meng Tian and the others would die!

Meng Tian knew from looking at Hu Hai's expression that the emperor thought he was exaggerating! For Han Xin's army of more than 100,000 people, Meng Tian had long expected that in addition to himself, there would be a large army to come to the rescue, he originally thought that it should be Feng Zheng who was guarding Sanchuan, after all, Meng Tian had been in Julu before, and he didn't know about Han Xin's rocket-like ascent speed!

He knew that the Emperor did not realize the harm of his actions this time and the consequences that would be caused! It seems that there are some things that must be made clear and told to the emperor! Otherwise, if there is such a thing next time, Meng Tian doesn't know if the emperor, Daqin, and himself will have such good luck!

If Daqin is destroyed in front of his eyes, Meng Tian really has no shame to see the old brother who has returned to heaven, the First Emperor!

"Your Majesty, can you hold back your legs?" Meng Tian looked at the several dragon guards standing in the lobby!

"Stand down! Don't let anyone in and disturb you! "Meng Tian definitely can't harm himself, Hu Hai ordered without even thinking about it!

"Your Majesty, now in addition to the Meng clan, the Wang clan, the Li clan, and the Feng clan, there are only a few major families left in my Great Qin, such as Guan Zhongsu, Fang, and Fan!" Meng Tian's self-care way!

"The old minister and the prime minister were originally friends, but now they have a gap, and the Mengli clan is now like fire and water! The Wang family, because of the matter of taking over the Jiuyuan Army, is also at odds with my Meng clan! What is the discord between Prime Minister Zuo's Feng family and Prime Minister Li's family, I think Your Majesty has seen it! And the great families of Guanzhong Su, Fang, Fan and other great families are the old Qin nobles, presumably Your Majesty naturally knows! ”

Meng Tian said here and paused!

Hu Hai understood a little at the moment what Meng Tian was going to say to himself! It's just that he knows about the Meng, Li, Wang, and Feng families, but Hu Hai doesn't know about the Su, Fang, and Fan families!

Meng Tian didn't notice Hu Hai's expression, and continued: "Your Majesty, do you know that now the four clans of Meng, Li, Feng, and Wang, who are waiting for the power, are not real Old Qin people, except for the Wang clan?

However, thanks to the grace of His Majesty the First Emperor, our three clans have the status and glory they have in Great Qin! However, the old Qin nobles in Guanzhong, led by several major families such as Su, Fang, and Fan, have been fighting openly and secretly with us and the other three clans because they are all foreign Qin people! It's just because the three clans are strong now that the fight is not obvious!

And the Wang family, although they are both members of the old Qin family, have always been friendly with my Meng family, and their ancestors are even more brothers! It's just because His Majesty ordered the king to leave his brother to replace Lao Chen to control the Jiuyuan Army, and now the two clans are in discord, and they have long since lost their harmony!

Many nobles of the Great Qin family all respect His Majesty's Win clan as the mainstay! Because of an incident twenty years ago, Emperor Shi once ordered the children of the Ying clan to not be able to enter the court as an official, and the military could not enlist in the army to lead the army!

Since then, the safety of the entire royal family of the Ying clan has been related to His Majesty. If there is no Your Majesty, then the Ying clan is the co-master of the world, if there is no Your Majesty, then it will inevitably fall into the hands of these nobles such as us!

Your Majesty, please forgive the old minister for the crime of disrespect! This time, if Han Xin's rescue is not urgent, and the old minister is killed, His Majesty will have an accident, and His Majesty will have no heirs now! At that time, many of the nobles of the current families in the land of Guanzhong would inevitably fight and make a mess over the ownership of this throne!

Including the Mengshi clan of the old ministers, they will inevitably choose the royal children of the Mengshi clan who are devoted to me as the throne! And I think the rest of the families will do the same! At that time, what should be the situation of my Great Qin, Your Majesty? ”

Meng Tian didn't wait for Hu Hai to answer, and continued: "At that time, the throne was undecided, there was no owner in the world, Great Qin was in civil strife, and the remnants of the six countries in the world were restored again and again! Is Daqin not far from falling apart? ”

Hu Hai was really shocked at this moment!
