"General. Why not chase it? ”

"That's right, there are still more than 100 horses that haven't been killed!"

"General, if you don't chase these Hu people, you'll run away."

Seventy or eighty horsemen rushed forward one after another, and said in a gossiping voice.

"That's not right." Méng shook his head and said in a deep voice, "This could be a trap!" ”

After saying this, Méng Yan said again, "In this way, you will go separately to inform the various settlements, everyone will return to Jiuyuan City, don't care about cattle, sheep and crops, what matters is people, return to Jiuyuan City immediately!" ”

"No!" Seventy or eighty horsemen agreed with a bang, and then they immediately beat their horses and went away.

Méng looked up at the northern sky again, and then turned his horse's head and returned the way he came.

In less than an instant, the whole desert was restored to its original silence, only a light breeze blowing through the grass, a rustling sound, and high in the sky, an eagle was spreading its wings and soaring.

Suddenly, a hare creeped out of its burrow.

The eagle, which was gliding high in the air, quickly locked onto the hare, but just as the eagle was about to pounce on its wings, a faint rumbling sound suddenly sounded on the distant horizon ahead, and the hare, which was grazing on the weeds, was frightened and disappeared into the ground again.

The next moment, a black line appeared on the distant northern horizon.

As time passed, the black line continued to thicken, and continued to extend to the wings, at a certain moment, this vague black line finally transformed into a human figure, and the vague rumbling sound gradually became clear and audible, and it was thousands of Hu horses galloping on the desert grassland.

………………

On the vast desert, thousands of horsemen are sweeping south.

King Lou Fu carried a double-edged sword at his waist, and galloped to the front of the entire riding array.

In front of and around the king of Lou Fu, thousands of Lou Fu Jian rode like a shadow and rushed forward, and the thousands of Hu riders who were rushing forward were like a snowstorm in winter, sweeping forward with an unstoppable momentum.

At this moment, a strange emotion was burning fiercely in the Xiong of Lou Fu Wang.

The desert is like a furnace, and the cavalry is like fire" He wants to sweep the entire Hetao with Lou Fu Iron Cavalry, and then sweep the entire desert with 100,000 Hetao Iron Cavalry, and finally take hundreds of thousands of Mobei Iron Cavalry south to the Central Plains to occupy the splendid rivers and mountains of the Central Plains, he wants to follow the example of Qin Shi Huang of the Great Qin Empire and live that dream life of self-respect.

For the First Emperor, King Lou Fu is no stranger, because his uncle said that he often told him about the great achievements of the First Emperor.

In the sound of hurried horses' hooves, a horseman galloped from the oblique thorn and reported loudly: "The king" was shot by the old Qin people, and more than 300 of the 400 tribes were also killed, and less than 100 horsemen fled back to the old camp. ”

"What about méng?" King Lou Fu frowned, and asked sharply, "Where is Méng?" ”

"Méng has returned to Jiuyuan City." Hu Qi said this and said, "Moreover, the old Qin people in various settlements seem to have heard something and are gathering towards Jiuyuan City. ”

"How can this be?" ”

Lou Fu Wang Xing slowly came to hunt Méng, but he didn't want Méng to die, but he had already slipped back to Jiuyuan City.

The uncle said that he also quietly changed, and said urgently: "King, it seems that Méng Xiao'er has already smelled something, and he can't wait any longer, he must immediately notify the Aries people and the Lin Hu people" The three families immediately entered Jiuyuan! "Uncle said that he is worthy of being from the Central Plains, and he has read a lot of military books, so he knows that he must not hesitate at this time, otherwise he may be preemptively defeated by the old Qin people.

King Lou Fu said to his uncle that he had great trust, and immediately took out a golden arrow from his arms and handed it to the leader of Shi Cong who accompanied him, and shouted: "Take this order and the arrow immediately go to the old camp of the Aries and Linhu tribes,

Please Bai Aries and King Lin Hu immediately order the elite of the clan, come to the old camp of Loufu to meet with the king, and then attack Jiuyuan together to destroy the old Qin people! ”

Shi snorted from the leader, took the golden arrow and flew away.

………………

The uncle said that this eunuch is really powerful, "Méng, I really plan to strike first, and break each one."

Lou annoying, white sheep, Lin Hu people are all Hu people, the three Hu people are getting closer and closer, the situation in Jiuyuan County is developing in the direction that is more and more unfavorable to the old Qin people, once these three Hu people really join forces, then the old Qin people will be defeated, in the final analysis, the old Qin people are only more than 30,000 after all, and there are only more than 5,000 strong men.

The Hu people have already shown their fangs to the old Qin people, "Of course the old Qin people can't sit still.

Méng decided to preemptively break through each one, first to defeat the Aries tribe in Henan.

Because the Aries tribe is nomadic in Henan and is closest to Jiuyuan, since it is necessary to do something to the Aries tribe, "it is natural to recall the old Qin people scattered in various settlements outside Jiuyuan City, first, to focus on protecting the old and young, and second, to recall the old Qin people, so as to gather all the strong men and launch a thunderous blow to the Aries tribe in Henan!

Two days later, the old Qin people scattered in various settlements returned to Jiuyuan City one after another.

After more than ten years of operation in Jiuyuan County, the land is fertile, the water and grass are abundant, coupled with the hard work of the old Qin people, and now there are more than 50,000 stones of corn hoarded in the warehouse, so Méng is not worried about military rations, and as soon as the old Qin people are assembled, they begin to gather the strong and distribute weapons and armor to prepare for the expedition.

However, just as the Qin army was preparing to set out, Tanma brought back news that the Hu people were also gathering!

Hearing the news, Méng couldn't help sighing, it seems that the Hu people are not fools, and there are smart people among them.

At that moment, Méng gave up the plan to strike first, and the five thousand Qin Iron Cavalry had the upper hand in the face of the Lin Hu people or the Aries people alone, because the Lin Hu people and the Aries people only had more than 10,000 cavalry, and the Méng people were very sure to defeat the Lin Hu people or the Aries people, but if the Lin Hu people, the Aries people and the Lou Annoying people joined forces, the situation would be completely different.

If the Lin Hu people and the Aries people joined forces with the Lou Fu people, it would be more than 60,000 horses.

More than 60,000 Hu cavalry, which is almost more than twelve times the Great Qin cavalry, the difference in strength is so huge, if the Great Qin Iron Cavalry still has to take the initiative to attack, it is really self-defeating, and now, it can only rely on Jiuyuan Jiancheng to fight a war of attrition with the Hu people, in the final analysis, although the Hu people have many troops, the siege equipment is extremely inferior, and the Hu people may not be able to break the Jiuyuan City.

At that moment, Méng sent strong men to collect summer grain, and then drove the cattle, sheep and horses from the settlements outside the city into the city.

Since he has made up his mind to defend the city, he naturally has to reserve more grain, grass and meat, because after the Hu people fail to attack and fail, they will definitely implement a long-term siege strategy for Jiuyuan City, which is likely to be half a year or even longer, and now the old Qin people can no longer get the support of the Central Plains Empire, and can only rely on their own strength to compete with the Hu people alone.

………………

Upper County, Fushi City.

When tens of thousands of Chu troops came along the straight road to cover the sky and the sun, the Shangjun county guard Sima Cao was anxious to become ants on a hot pot, there were less than 2,000 defenders in the city, and most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, and their combat strength was extremely poor, if the Chu army planned to attack the city, the defenders of Fushi might not be able to hold it for even half a day!

What worries Sima the most is that he doesn't know where to ask for help?!

Xianyang heard that it had been captured by the Chu army a long time ago, so it would definitely not be possible to ask Xianyang for help, and the army of the Han King was still far away in the eastern part of the country, and now I don't know if it has broken the Hangu Pass? Hangu Pass was blocked by the Chu army, even if he sent a flying horse, it would not be able to pass, thinking about it, it seems that the only way to ask Jinyang for help is to ask Jinyang, but does Jinyang have reinforcements to send?

However, Sima Cao only had a false alarm in the end, and the Chu army had no intention of entering the city, but went straight to the north along the straight road, so that he didn't even stop for a moment.

………………

Xiang Zhuang really had no intention of attacking Fu Shi.

Although the Chu army did not lack siege equipment, the ladders, wells and siege vehicles made by the bus transport vehicles were used to attack Hangu Pass, and once the Chu army needed it, it would only take half a day to rebuild it, however, Tanma sent back the news that the Han army had been found two hundred miles away, so Xiang Zhuang did not plan to make trouble.

Now, Guanzhong has been almost destroyed by the Chu army, just a skin Shi city, broken or not, has no impact on the overall situation, for today's plan, the Chu army is better to transfer to Jiuyuan as soon as possible, just pass through Yuzhong, Liu Bang's army will not be able to pursue it, there is no military rations, what will Liu Bang's army take on the expedition?

If nothing else, the Han army should have recovered Xianyang by now, right?

I don't know if the Han army has noticed that there are only a few cellars of corn left?

And Prime Minister Xiao He Xiao, a master of internal affairs who has left a name in history, will he use the half-cooked corn in this cellar as a grain seed and withdraw it to the land of Guanzhong?

Thinking of this, the corners of Xiang Zhuang's mouth couldn't help but sneer.

In the sound of horses' hooves, Baili Xian caught up with Xiang Zhuang and said: "General, not far ahead is the Great Wall built by King Zhaoxiang, after the Great Wall of King Zhaoxiang, it is Yuzhong, and then five hundred miles north to Jiuyuan." After saying this, Baili Xian said again, "Also, I want to take the first step and make an outpost for the general, I don't know if it's possible?" ”

Xiang Zhuang thought for a while and said, "It's okay, I'll let Gao Chu lead a hundred horsemen to accompany him to protect Mr." ”

"General, don't bother General Gao Chu." Bai Lixian shook his head and said with a light smile, "It's enough to have the second brother, the younger sister and You Yuan accompanying you to protect you." ”

Xiang Zhuang said: "Ziliang, then it's hard for you." ”

"Farewell." Bai Lixian quietly shook it, and then turned around and walked away.

Baili Mao, Baili Yishui, and You Yuan also turned their horses' heads and followed, and in less than an instant, the three Baili brothers and sisters and You Yuan had disappeared on the horizon in the distance.

Xiang Zhuang turned around leisurely and asked Wei Yu: "Military advisor, do you say that Ziliang can convince Méng?" ”

Wei Yi pondered for a moment, and said softly: "If nothing happens, it should be possible." ”

After saying this, Wei Yu said again, "Moreover, even if Ziliang can't convince Méng, doesn't the general still have the jade seal of King Qin in his hand?" The general was completely able to find someone to pretend to be the prince of Qin, and then draw up an edict to order the méng to return to the army. ”！。
