The wind is sluggish and the water is cold!

Two months ago, the allied forces of Qin, Chu, Changshan, and Wei swore to the Northern Expedition here, in order to save a robe with water and to defeat the jackals who dared to come and rob their homes. More than 60 days of tearing and fighting brought to the soldiers of the coalition army, not only the dust of the expedition, several wounds, but also a strong friendship that could not be dissolved.

The crossbow general Gan Yong took a team of soldiers to guard the edge of the pontoon bridge, watching a team of soldiers of the coalition return from Yandi, the Wei army passed, only 500 soldiers, they only experienced a trip to make sauce and wine, but on the faces of these Wei soldiers, you can still see a strong sense of admiration.

Followed by the queue of the Changshan army, Zhong Liwu has decided to return to the Chu State, Xiang Yu expressed great goodwill to Zhong Liwu's return, the generals of the Chu State are now withering, if Zhong Liwu returns to the Chu army, it is no less than a shot in the arm for the Chu army soldiers who have suffered defeats.

The Chu army crossed the river behind the Changshan army, Xiang Yu held his head high, hid his left hand with a broken wrist in his sleeve, and his face was as gloomy as a ball of ink that could not be dissolved.

"Da Chu, Da Chu!"

Xiang Zhuang rode his horse back and forth, constantly boosting the morale of the soldiers of the whole army, however, the military appearance of the Chu army was like an ice prismatic flower in winter, the edges and corners were smoothed early, and what remained was a pool of soft and turbid water.

Jixian was besieged.

More than 8,000 elites who broke through with Xiang Yu and Xiang Zhuang suffered heavy casualties after this battle, and Xiang Yu's 1,000 personal cavalry were almost lost, and the people who broke through with Xiang Zhuang were only less than 3,000 people.

Compared with the lost mood of the Chu army, the Qin army was full of morale, and the battle of Yandi was the troops dispatched by the Qin army. Except for Jiuyuan's side cavalry, which was elite, the other soldiers were all newly formed second-line troops, and most of the soldiers of the Qin army were prisoners such as Ji Xin or Kwantung soldiers from Zhao and Han.

Now, these new pawns are also the same as the old pawns, singing the Qin army war song of "Defend the old Qin, restore my rivers and mountains, blood will not be shed, and death will not be truce", and even the new soldiers who have joined the sequence also feel the sincere comrade-in-arms of "how can you say that you have no clothes, and you are with your son".

"Li Wuhou, I was rescued by you this time, Xiang Ji is grateful, if he is in trouble in the Qin Kingdom. I, Da Chu, will never sit idly by. When Xiang Yu was urging the horse to step onto the pontoon bridge, he grabbed the reins of the horse and shouted at Li Yuan.

"Overlord, this time you and I join forces to fight against the Huns, show my majesty in China, raise my Yanhuang's sharpness, my Great Qin Army Banner is invincible, and I hope that the overlord will return to Pengcheng. Being able to consider the alliance between the two countries is the only way to save the people of Qin and Chu from war and displacement. Li Yuan comforted.

After rescuing Xiang Yu. Li Yuan has a deeper understanding of the future relationship between Qin and Chu. But in this joint war against Hungary, Li Yuan saw clearly that the two countries could only unite. in order to fight against a stronger and more dangerous enemy: the Huns.

Maudun's counterattack may come at any time.

After suffering a big loss, Li Yuan was sure that the hungry wolf on the grassland would be more ferocious, while the Qin State and the Chu State were cold-tongued, and only by working together could they compete with the Huns who were strong to the apex.

"Alliance-, haha, my Xiang Ji has not yet relied on and surrendered to others, Li Wuhou, if you can afford my Xiang Ji, you can see the winner or lose on the battlefield in the future, and when the time comes, Xiang Mou will also spare you." Xiang Yu said proudly.

This sentence, Xiang Yu said frankly, and the heavy pupils revealed the idea of fighting with Li Yuan, Xiang Yu, who had always been fighting alone, really couldn't accept the charity given by the Qin army, he wanted to go back to Haode to rectify the team, and then sweep away the shame and defeat Li Yuan in a dignified manner.

"You'll fail again, I promise." Li Yuan said lightly.

Xiang Yu's pride and stubbornness, just like his people, are unapproachable, even if Li Yuan gives him help, he can't shake Xiang Yu's belief.

In the face of Xiang Yu's challenge, Li Yuan also responded fearlessly.

Saving Chu is a great righteousness, a competition between nations, and he has no grievances; And the next destruction of Chu is the end of the dynasty,

It is the alternation of countries and countries, and he is imperative.

――。

The Chu army left, the Changshan army left, Zuihou, and Li Yuan also had to lead his own troops to leave Youyan and leave this land that made him from strange to familiar.

Among the generals of the Qin army, Han Xin has been appointed as the new county guard of Yandi and Daidi, and unified the command of the Qin army troops in these two places, under his command, the number of soldiers has reached more than 30,000 people, and in the ranks of the Qin army, Han Xin has also officially been promoted from the second-line troops to the main force of the first-line.

Han Xin's Yan Dynasty Army was also the fourth powerful group after Li Yuan's Guanzhong Army, Jiuyuan's Border Army, and Gaizang's Hexi Army, which was strong enough to deter the surrounding and be able to independently lead the army.

Daijun, Gucheng.

Han Xin escorted Li Yuan all the way from Yishui to Gucheng, and on this bleak winter day, the soldiers of the Qin army felt a strong affection for their comrades.

It's a pity that there will be a farewell for thousands of miles.

This time the battle in the north also allowed Han Xin to truly see Li Yuan's decisiveness, and he was able to send troops to rescue his former enemies when the Qin State was facing internal troubles.

"Wuhou, take care all the way." Han Xin pulled the reins of his horse and said.

"General Han, this time you are left alone in Yandi, the responsibility is heavy, if you find that the Huns or the Chu people have any changes, you can contact General Wang Li of the border county, in a word, the safety of Daqin, in your body, if there is anything, you can send a message and report it to Chang'an." Li Yuan nodded and ordered.

"Don't worry, Wuhou, the last general will take care of it." Han Xin agreed.

Yandi is far away from Guanzhong, quite a test of the general's command and judgment ability, you must know that in the north of Youyan, there are strong Huns who refuse to admit defeat, and to the south of Yandi, is the Chu army that retreated back to Qidi, therefore, only the border army that can give Han Xin reinforcements is left with the far border army on the west road, as well as the county troops in the area of Zhaodi.

Triumphant return to the court.

Li Yuan led his own cavalry all the way through Handan, through Chaoge, and then through Hedong County, at the end of December to reach Jiechi, which is not far from the river, and heard that Li Yuan's return to the division arrived in Hedong, and Sima Yin, who was in charge of military construction in the Jinyang area, greeted him here early.

Not seen for many days.

Sima Yin's spirit is better than a few months ago, this time the Qin army went out, more than half of the generals have replaced iron spears and guns, and even the war knife has begun to be promoted among the middle and lower generals of the army, and according to many Qin generals, their new weapons have achieved almost complete victory in the competition with the poor bronze knives of the Huns.

However, today's meeting between Sima Yin and Li Yuan, the focus of the conversation will definitely not be on the military construction, in terms of weapon making, now the craftsmen of the Qin State have left Li Yuan, who knows a little bit about it, far behind, and they have begun to try to forge the jishu of refined steel in practice again and again.

Unpooling.

It is also known as a brine pond.

Its location, in this year's Shanxi Province Yuncheng Xie County area, here is located in the north foot of Zhongtiao Mountain, is the bend of the river from north to east, the salt lake here in the summer southeast wind blowing, the salt water in the pool will accelerate the evaporation, and then naturally condense into the pool salt.

It can be said that before the sea salt of the Chu State could not be transported to Guanzhong, the main salt supply place of the Central Plains people was in the Jiechi, for the ownership of this natural salt pool, the legend has it that Yanhuang and Chiyou had a big fight.

Li Yuan stopped here, the main purpose, is to resume the mining of the salt of the pond, the last years of the first emperor, riots in various places are frequent, the area of Hedong County is occupied by Sima Mao, the king of Yin, the mining facilities of the pool salt have also been destroyed, among which the most heavy loss is the experienced salt workers, in the face of crazy killing, Sima Mao's Hedong army is like a group of locusts crossing the border, not only the salt pond is all destroyed, but also the salt workers are buried alive.

At that time, Sima Mao's excuse was very grandiose, the salt produced in the salt pond, and the zuihou were transported to Guanzhong and supplied to the old Qin people for consumption, and they Kanto people couldn't get anything, and those salt workers contributed to the Qin people, and they deserved death.
