August 19 of the first year of Great Qin II. The entire Xianyang City was once again in a state of boiling.

At noon, after receiving Hu Hai's edict, the 200,000 brightly armored tiger troops that had just officially formed an army yesterday marched out of the Bashang battalion, waving flags and swords and guns like a forest, and marching westward from the road from Xianyang to Chencangguan on the edge of Xianyang City.

The huge black tiger military flag in front of the army was five feet high, waving in the wind. A ferocious aura rushed towards him.

The people of Xianyang already knew that there was an unknown number of elite troops of Daqin near Xianyang at the time of the ceremony, but at this moment, when they saw this huge and strict army traveling almost dozens of miles from the beginning to the end, they were shocked and proud at the same time.

It's just that everyone soon realized a problem, that is, now that the rebellion in the counties of Shandong outside the Great Qin Guanzhong has long been quelled, and the rebellious troops of the Chu State are all in the south, why would these 200,000 troops go west instead of south?

Meng Kuo's letter disrupted Hu Hai's original deployment, but with the strict training of the Tiger Ben Army and other major legions, even if they lacked this necessary run-in period, Hu Hai believed that they could quickly adapt to the changes in their respective military formations.

The five major legions, and the generals at all levels above 500 lords were all from the emperor's disciples and taught by Hu Hai himself. After several months of training by Wei Yu and Zhang Han, even when Meng Tian returned to Xianyang, he gave two lessons to generals at all levels in the Bashang camp.

These people are all people who are absolutely loyal to the emperor and Great Qin.

This time, the westward march of the Tiger Ben Army was naturally to deal with the changes in South Vietnam, and the reason why Zhang Han was sent by Hu Hai to the two counties of Bashu was Hu Hai's precautionary move. I just didn't expect to catch up.

If there was no letter from Meng Kuo, Hu Hai originally planned to send half of the 200,000 tiger army, that is, 100,000 people, to the two counties of Bashu, but now that Ziying has been proclaimed emperor, then a big war may come at any time, and the elite Hu Hai of the 100,000 tiger army is obviously not enough.

After all, Ziying's hundreds of thousands of troops in South Vietnam were all experienced in the elite of Great Qin. Weapons and armor are all complete.

The commander of the 200,000 tiger army is Yang Ruihe, a guard lieutenant and lieutenant, because of the assassination of Hu Hai in Xianyang Palace, although Hu Hai did not remove Yang Ruihe from his position as a lieutenant, but Yang Ruihe's guard was removed.

It is obviously impossible for Ying Yi to lead the 200,000 army to Bashu, and Yang Ruihe is obviously a very suitable candidate. However, after catching up with Zhang Han to hand over the army and the emperor's secret letter to Zhang Han, Yang Ruihe would immediately rush back to Xianyang and take up the position of lieutenant.

The movement of the 200,000 army could not be concealed from anyone at all, not to mention that there were more than 1,000 box cars following the 200,000 Tiger Ben army westward. The huge Great Qin, under the precise operation of Zhang Cang, the Shangji Mansion, began to burst out with combat power that made the whole world tremble.

Just when the people of Xianyang were excitedly watching the brightly armored 200,000 Qin troops heading west, the vast majority of them chose to ignore the three groups of more than 6,000 people who followed the 200,000 army, each with a strong crossbow and bronze sword, and the armor on their bodies was obviously much older than that of the 200,000 tiger army.

These three groups of more than 6,000 fierce men who are more than 100 steps apart are the advance army of many nobles in Guanzhong who went to Longxi to plunder.

In order to be able to get the qualification to go out to plunder for the first time from the emperor, many nobles in Guanzhong were knocked out by Hu Hai. Not to mention the private slaves who were pardoned as commoners, we must know how many private slaves were released by each family, and the food and utensils of those private slaves were provided by the nobles of the family who were originally the owners of the private slaves.

Of course, the private slaves who were pardoned as commoners by Hu Hai did not know about these things, but perhaps even if they knew, they would not be grateful to these nobles. There was only one person they were grateful for, and that was His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor who was in Xianyang Palace.

And the reason why many nobles in Guanzhong are willing to sacrifice such blood is naturally to obtain the right to be the first to go out and plunder foreign barbarians from Hu Hai. What they give, they will get back in the alien race.

Jing Yun is now the temporary commander of the 6,000 advance army.

Looking at the endless stream of endless endless armies moving forward in front of him, Jing Yun, who had a rigid face, seemed to lose his mind for a moment. Who would have thought that many of these people four months ago were untrained prisoners?

But now, there is no hatred or even decadence towards Daqin in these people, and there is only extremely high morale and endless reverence and loyalty to Daqin or the young emperor.

And these 200,000 troops are only a part of the forces in his hands.

Here Jing Yun could clearly see the dark shadows on a hill in the distance, and he knew that it was the Second Emperor who had single-handedly created this hundreds of thousands of elite troops. I can't help but think of that scene an hour ago.

"Jing Yun, you know too much about the dark things of the Prime Minister, and your hands are also stained with the blood of too many innocent people. After the snag was created, I hesitated whether to kill or exile you, or let you go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion and continue to serve Li You.

I don't want to be strong, so I won't send you to Li You's side to do things for me. After thinking about it, I decided to keep you. You go and bring the people gathered by those nobles to create wealth for my Great Qin. It is as if you were atoning for your sins.

Remember, restrain those rangers. If I knew that you dared to slaughter the people of my Great Qin, even if you fled to the ends of the earth, I would let you taste the torture of the world. Also, after you travel west out of Longxi, you must make a map of the alien terrain around Longxi. When your merit is enough to offset your past sins, I will let you walk on the land of my Great Qin in the open. Do it yourself. ”

This was the first time Jing Yun had seen him since following Li Si's order to serve Hu Hai. But on this side alone, Jing Yun already understood why the scheming old benefactor would choose to commit suicide to apologize.

Conspiracy can only be hidden in the dark forever, and once it is exposed, it will be either you dead or I will live.

Dignified and upright, it has been invincible from the beginning.

Retracting the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Jing Yun turned around and said in a deep voice: "Go!" ”

More than 6,000 raiding advance teams began to follow the westbound Tiger Ben army and slowly moved forward. After arriving at Chencang Pass, Jing Yun's more than 6,000 people will be separated from the Tiger Ben army and continue westward until they leave the border of Longxi.

The marching route of the 200,000 Tiger Ben Army was basically the same as the route taken by Zhang Han, passing through the road from Xianyang to Chencang Pass to reach Chencang Pass, then taking the Chencang Road, going south to the Dasanling, along the old Daoshui (upper reaches of the Jialing River) valley and the Vietnamese Mountains (Qinling), and then entering the Baoshui River Valley and arriving in Hanzhong. After arriving in Hanzhong, turn into the Jinniu Shu Road and enter the two counties of Bashu.

......, "Your Majesty, go back to the palace early." ”

This hill is the same hill on which Hu Hai once stood when he first arrived in Xianyang. Meng Tian looked at the tiger army that had gradually moved away, and finally couldn't help but admonish.

Since yesterday when he received the letter from Meng Kuo, Hu Hai stayed in the study with a few of them all night, and then hurriedly ate breakfast in the morning and went out of the city to see the tiger army out of the city, and he has not rested until now. What's more, yesterday was Concubine Li's miscarriage.

"Hmmm! Let's go back to the palace! ”

Today, it can be regarded as the first step to truly pacify the world. After the 200,000 Tiger Army marched west, in three days, the three major armies of Qinglong, Xuanwu, and White Tiger will also go out of the pass and go south.

And the Suzaku army under the command of Wang Qian will remain in Xianyang. Wang Gan led 20,000 foot soldiers into the guard camp near Xianyang, and the remaining 80,000 cavalry will be divided into four parts, each with 20,000 people stationed in Liyang, Yongcheng, Bashang, and Lantian camps.

The Vermilion Bird Army remained in Guanzhong, and after being stationed in these five places, any part of the army could only be transferred if Ying Yi and Wang Qian ordered it at the same time. Without any person's order, the Suzaku Army everywhere can directly refuse to obey the order.

After the ceremony was held on September 15, Hu Hai sent his light troops out of the customs and went south. At that time, I thought that the three major army corps and the Tiger Ben army were almost in place, as long as Hu Hai reached the north of the Huai River, Zhang Han's 200,000 troops and nearly 500,000 troops gathered on the side of the Huai River would exhaust the whole army, trying to fight a battle.

Hu Hai took two steps, stopped and looked at Meng Tian and said, "Aiqing doesn't have to take the affairs of the Meng clan in Nanyue to heart. Ming said that Aiqing was going to Jiuyuan, so I won't send it. Jiuyuan Frontier, I will ask Aiqing. ”

"Your Majesty Longen, the old minister only dies to repay!"

Although all the plans had been deployed last night, it was still very moving to hear the emperor comfort Meng Tian again.

"Drive!"

Hu Hai nodded, and more than a thousand horses rushed back to Xianyang at high speed.

......... "Your Majesty has arrived!" ”

Back at Xianyang Palace, Hu Hai rushed to Concubine Li's bedroom without stopping. Last night, he discussed with Meng Tian and others about the Nanyue child, but Hu Hai didn't have time to come back when Bianyu applied medicine to Concubine Li, but he kept it in his heart.

Concubine Li's face was pale and deep asleep on the brocade couch, and when she heard the footsteps at the door of the dormitory, she opened her eyes leisurely.

"Aifei, how is it? I'm in a hurry......"

Hu Hai strode to the head of Concubine Li's bed and sat down, and said with a look of self-reproach. Seeing Hu Hai with a tired and guilty face, Concubine Li smiled softly and stretched out her hand to block Hu Hai's lips.

"Your Majesty, state affairs are of paramount importance. The concubine is very good! Concubine Li looked at Hu Hai softly and said softly.

"But ......," Hu Hai grabbed Concubine Li's hand on his lips and whispered.

"Your Majesty, I heard Long Bing say that Your Majesty didn't rest last night. Although state affairs are important, Your Majesty is the lord of my Great Qin, and he is the people of the world, and he should cherish his body for the sake of his concubines and the people of the world. Concubine Li's distressed eyes melted Hu Hai little by little.

"I'm strong. Aifei, you know. Hu Hai didn't want to dwell on this issue, pun intended.

Hearing Hu Hai's words, two blush flew on Concubine Li's pretty face, which was pale because of the miscarriage, adding a bit of delicate beauty, and people couldn't help but want to hug it into their arms and take care of it carefully.

"Your Majesty, go back and rest, the concubine is also tired." Licking Hu Hai, who was smiling evilly, Concubine Li buried her head in the futon and said in a muffled voice.

"Uh. Then the concubine sleeps, and I will go to rest with the concubine for a while. Hu Hai didn't doubt him, and said.

"Your Majesty, you can't sleep when you look at your concubines. Go back to the dormitory and rest. Concubine Li said angrily, and stretched out her hand to push Hu Hai.

"Okay, I'm going to rest, I'm going to rest. Don't move, beware of broken wounds. Hu Hai said helplessly when he saw this.

Looking at the emperor who turned back three times in one step, a trace of cunning flashed in Concubine Li's eyes.
