After crossing the big river, it is the rich Guanzhong of the Qinchuan River for 800 miles.

Because of the continuous war, coupled with the huge attack of the anti-Qin coalition army at the beginning of the year, the Qin State implemented the tactics of clearing the wall in the field, which was extremely damaging to the originally densely populated Guanzhong. Although the Qin state was fully committed to internal affairs after the war, it was still difficult to recover the vitality of Guanzhong for a while, and many places were still sparsely populated and agriculture withered. The more than 300,000 Qin people who withdrew from the north greatly filled the population east of Xianyang, and under Meng Jian's personal arrangement, the northerners soon obtained land and cultivated cattle, and happily went to their new homes to live and work again.

These tasks were the responsibility of the civil officials, and Han Xin naturally would not overstep his authority, so after crossing the river, he handed over the Beimin to Shi Fengji, who came to take over, and he and Wang Jing led the light cavalry to Xianyang first.

At this time, it is late autumn, and it is the season to sow corn in the fields and harvest the crops, and the golden waves in the fields are pleasing to the eye. Wang Jing's former residence in the north, he was very unfamiliar with Guanzhong, and he naturally enjoyed it very much when he saw such a beautiful scenery in his hometown, and his face was full of smiles along the way. Han Xin was not in a hurry to leave, so he also made full use of this rare busyness, and just repeatedly told his subordinates to pay attention to controlling the horses and not trampling on the fields.

After passing Luoshui, I stepped into the land of inner history. The messenger from Xianyang reported to Han Xin the will of the imperial court, saying that the princess Taichang and the prime minister would lead hundreds of civil and military officials to welcome the meritorious ministers returning south on the bank of the Jingshui River in the early morning of the day after tomorrow.

Guanzhong is a plain, naturally a horse Pingchuan is very suitable for light riding galloping, from Luoshui to Xianyang is only a two-day horse. In the early morning of the day after tomorrow, Han Xin and the others had already rushed to the north bank of Jingshui in the northern suburbs of Xianyang, and to Han Xin's surprise, it was Zhao Wuji who came to greet him first.

Zhao Wuji saw Han Xin laughing and stepped forward to pay homage, "The boss is really powerful, he fights beautifully, he is extremely beautiful!" My Lao Zhao listened to the battle report you reported to the imperial court yesterday, it was full of blood, boss, you are worthy of being the first general of my Qin State, what is white, what... No matter what, it's not as good as you. ”

Zhao Wuji originally wanted to say, 'What Wang Jian is', but when he glanced at Wang Jing on the side, he quickly took back the words in his mouth. Han Xin scolded with a smile; "Okay, when did you kid like to come to these voids so much, why are you here, shouldn't Tianshi be closer."

Zhao Wuji first saluted Wang Jing respectfully, and Wang Jing smiled slightly and nodded in return. Only then did Zhao Wuji turn his head and reply to Han Xin: "Lao Tian, he wants to protect Princess Taichang, anyway, I'm fine, so I asked him for this errand." ”

Wang Jing and Zhao Wuji are not familiar with each other, and they think about it, when he was the commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army, Zhao Wuji was just a small general, how could he have an impression, so he still has some friendship with Tian Shizhi, and he is a lot more unfamiliar with Zhao Wuji. Seeing that Zhao Wuji looked like he wanted to say something, he guessed that he and Han Xin had some private things to say, so he found an excuse to leave.

Looking at the back of Wang Jing leaving, Han Xin looked at Zhao Wuji with some displeasure and said; "If there is anything in the future, just say it directly in front of Wang Jing, everyone is a brother in life and death, so you don't have to be so angry."

Zhao Wuji nodded and said yes, but said with a little embarrassment; "Boss, it's really hard to say this in front of the young general."

"What the hell is going on, God is mysterious."

The corners of Zhao Wuji's eyes swept down slightly around him, and then he said in a low voice; "The king is here."

Han Xin asked with some puzzlement; "What do you mean?"

"The team that came to greet you this time is not only the eldest princess and Prime Minister Meng Jian, but also the king who has never shown up, I came this time to tell you in advance so that you can deal with it as soon as possible."

Han Xin was stunned for a long time, his face was a little strange, but he opened his mouth to ask a seemingly unrelated question. "What about Tian Shi, what is he doing?"

Tian Shi was acting as the guard lieutenant and Lang Zhongling, and Han Xin entrusted him with the defense of the entire Xianyang when he left, but he did not report any news related to Ziying in advance, but Zhao Wuji, who had nothing to do with Xianyang, reminded him, which had to make Han Xin suspicious.

Zhao Wuji naturally heard the meaning of Han Xin's words, and hurriedly explained; "You can't blame Lao Tian for this, he only found out the day before yesterday, so he sent someone to hurry up and let me come to meet with the boss first, and he himself personally escorted the king to avoid accidents."

Han Xin was slightly relieved that Tian City was still in control of Xianyang, which meant that everything was not out of control. After a while, he asked; "How is the king's health now, and when will he get better?"

Zhao Wuji shook his head and said, "We have all been kept in the dark about this, not long after you left, it was rumored in the palace that the king's health had gradually improved, and he was already able to leave the soup and medicinal meals." At first, we didn't pay attention to it, because the king was still lying quietly in the deep palace and did not come to the court, and the court was running as before, until a month ago, the guards in the Jique Palace and the Wangyi Palace suddenly changed on a large scale, and all of them were replaced by the children of the Ying clan and the Guanzhong clan. Lao Tian was suspicious at the time, so he questioned in the court, and the answer was the eldest princess, she said that this was what she meant, so that Lao Tian did not have to worry about it. ”

"General, before leaving, you repeatedly told you to obey the eldest princess in everything, so we didn't dare to raise objections, besides, Jique Palace and Wangyi Palace are just one of the palaces, and there are only a few hundred guards, so we don't care about it."

Han Xin was silent for a moment before he spoke; "Jique Palace is the place where the court meeting is located, and Wangyi Palace is the place where His Majesty recuperates and sleeps, these two places are the key points in the palace, you are too careless."

Zhao Wuji sighed helplessly. "Boss, this is what the eldest princess means, what can we do, is it difficult for us to force the palace?"

Han Xin asked again; "And then?"

"Later, there was nothing abnormal, what should I do, and the eyeliner placed in the palace spread the news that the king's body was getting better day by day, although he was still weak, but he was temporarily free of worries about his life. The day before yesterday, the king suddenly came to the court to accept the visit of hundreds of officials, and said that he would personally go to Jingshui to greet the general, Lao Tian felt that something was wrong, so he sent a message to me to let me come to see you, the boss. ”

After speaking, Zhao Wuji stopped speaking, but stared directly at Han Xin, and saw that Han Xin was silent for a while, and then said slowly; "You think too much, it's not a bad thing for the Qin State to get the king's body better, it may not be as complicated as you think."

Zhao Wuji pursed his lips, and said with a somewhat disdainful expression: "Boss, it's good if you use these words to fool others, don't say these things in front of me." Originally, it was very difficult for us to deal with Meng Jian, but thanks to the eldest princess on our side, we gained an advantage. Now that the king has suddenly improved his health, how can a monarch allow himself to become a puppet, so he will definitely do everything possible to seize power, and the eldest princess may not be on the side of the Win family's Zongmiao Sheji to be our enemy. ”

Although Han Xin's face was calm, his heart was already turbulent. Ziying's sudden awakening was undoubtedly an omen of the imminent reshuffling of the upper echelons of the Qin State, and Han Xin, who originally wanted to play a balance with Meng Jian, suddenly fell into passivity. Once the royal power unites Xiangquan, it will definitely suppress his military power to the death, and they are not monolithic inside, Tian Shi and Zhao Wuji's loyalty is undoubted, Li Zuoche must be his person, Yingbu has no foundation in the army, and it is basically negligible, but Wang Jing, Wang Qi, Meng Shi, and Gan Xiao are difficult to say.

They are all children of a family, and they all have a huge family behind them to rely on, and it is also a kind of constraint. Although they are all Han Shin's people, it is unknown how they will choose between personal interests and family interests once their personal interests and family interests conflict.

However, although he had thought about all kinds of thoughts in his heart, his face was still calm, and he looked at Zhao Wuji a little deeply. He found that Zhao Wuji was too keen on this, and even went a little too far.

Probably because he has been smooth sailing since he started following him, and he has some blind confidence, which is not a good thing, so Han Xin poured a basin of cold water on him: "I still say that, you think too much, it may be just a simple thing, but you have to make it so complicated." Not to mention what the king's body is, let's just say that when the Qin State is in this kind of internal and external troubles, it is difficult to maintain it without anyone, so it is not yet the time for internal fighting, and everyone knows it very well in their hearts. ”

Zhao Wuji couldn't help but show disappointment when he saw that Han Xin still didn't look at it, and still said unwillingly: "Even if you don't want to strike first, boss, then at least you should take precautions, I think you should marry the eldest princess as soon as possible." Women, I know better than you, after getting married, the husband is a matter of course, and the thoughts about the previous mother's family will be much lighter, so you have to hurry up when you are old, don't procrastinate anymore. ”

Han Xin frowned slightly, to be honest, he still rejects this kind of political marriage very much in his heart, and he doesn't want to involve other interests in the competition. But he also knew in his heart that when he reached such a high position, his thoughts no longer represented him alone, but the interests of a group. As Zhao Wuji said, those who followed him had already been honored and disgraced with him, so he still had to do many things even if he didn't want to do them.

This is the trick of the superiors!

Sighing, Han Xin said helplessly; "Okay, I'll have a plan for myself, so you can put away your gossip heart."

Fifty miles north of Xianyang, on the bank of the Jingshui River, the originally quiet riverside was already full of chariots and horses, and the black water flag symbolizing the Qin State was planted everywhere, and a large number of cavalry foot soldiers supported the convoy around, and the huge carriage in the middle was the frame of the Son of Heaven.

It's just that the carriage of the Son of Heaven has been closed and not opened, and the attendants who are close next to him even faintly hear the sound of coughing from time to time in the carriage.

Next to the carriage, the horse was indeed full of excitement and red Yingke, she did not ride in the carriage, but rode on the horse in a fiery red riding outfit, and was trying to stretch her neck to look into the distance, her eyes were full of hope.

Meng Jian is a courtier, although his status is noble, he is not qualified to be juxtaposed with the two, so he just stands on one side and closes his eyes for a long time.

There was a commotion ahead, and a feather forest with a swan feather on his head and a red coat galloped forward, stopped his horse before the royal car, and said loudly; "Your Majesty, the general is already three miles away, and he is rushing here."

There was a soft cry from the carriage, and Ying Ke willingly leaned close to the window, and gave the order on his behalf; "Pass on the order of the Son of Heaven, give the general Han Xin and the general Wang Jing to ride horses and swords to see each other, and the etiquette is the same as that of the prince."

"No!" The feather forest answered with a loud voice, and then moved his horse and galloped back like a raging wind.

A moment later, thousands of light horsemen appeared on the other side of the river, and the current one was Han Xin, Wang Jing and other generals. According to the Qin system, the foreign army was not allowed to ride horses and swords to worship the Son of Heaven, so these thousands of light horsemen were left on the other side of the river, and the first two horsemen to ride slowly were Han Xin and Wang Jing, followed by dozens of generals who stepped forward on foot.

Ying Ke saw Han Xin coming from a distance, sparks appeared in his eyes, and he chirped happily to meet him, stretched out his hand and held Han Xin's hand tightly, his face was full of joy. As for Wang Jing next to her, she simply glanced at it and shouted 'cousin' and completely ignored it, which made Wang Jing feel a little uncomfortable.

Han Xin couldn't help but smile, seeing that Win Ke was still like this, the only doubt left in his heart disappeared, it seemed that no matter how he won, he would still be the winner, and the one who would only rely on himself wholeheartedly. The two of them met their eyes and held each other tightly, although they did not speak, their hearts were already connected with each other.

There was a soft laugh, "General, if you don't let go of the widow's aunt's hand, then I'm afraid that tomorrow there will be rumors about the two of you in Xianyang City." ”

Shun Shengwang, I saw Ziying slowly walking out of the carriage with the support of a eunuch, and was looking at Han Xin Yingke with a smile.

As soon as Win Ke was said by Ziying, his face turned red, and he hurriedly withdrew his hand, while Han Xin and Wang Jing dismounted and saluted;

"Your Majesty."

"Chen Wangjing see his subordinates."

Ziying smiled and waved her hand, saying; "The general and the general please, there is no need to be polite, the widow actually doesn't like these red tapes very much, everyone just let it be."

Han Xin returned the salute, and then stood up and looked up at Ziying. Although it was not the first time he had seen Ziying, he had been in a dying coma on the sickbed before, and it was the first time he had a face-to-face conversation like today, and he couldn't help but look at Ziying carefully.

Ziying has a long body, the same age as Han Xin, and looks very handsome, the only thing that is wrong is that his face is too pale, which is thought to be the reason for the initial recovery from serious injuries. Unlike his grandfather, the First Emperor, and the domineering Qin kings before him, Ziying looked much weaker, and his temperament was very similar to that of his father Fusu, and he always spoke with a gentle smile.

Overall, Ziying looked more like a gentle scholar than like King Qin, who was known for his domineering.

Han Xin looked at Ziying, Ziying was also looking at Han Xin, if he didn't count the vague memories on the sickbed before, then this was the first time he saw Han Xin. After looking at it, Ziying suddenly smiled and said; "I really didn't expect that the general was so young when he became famous, but he was able to achieve such great achievements and protect my Great Qin Foundation, which is really admirable."

Han Xin smiled slightly and complimented; "Your Majesty is not young and promising, just by virtue of the age of the weak crown, he stabbed the traitor Zhao Gao, who brought disaster to the country and the people, and everyone in the world applauded."

Ziying shook her head with a smile and said; "I didn't expect you to be a sycophant, but I naturally know in my heart that if you hadn't come to the rescue, I think I would have died under Zhao Chengyan's knife, and I should really thank you."

Han Xin smiled and said, "Thanks to Your Majesty's love, Weichen is just a momentary luck, where can I compare to Your Majesty." ”

The two complimented each other over there for a long time, but they couldn't stand the win on the side, and couldn't help but say; "I said it was funny for the two of you to give each other high hats, and I got goosebumps when I heard it, so I couldn't talk properly."

Winning Ke's words made both of them look a little embarrassed, and Ziying smiled; "It's still my aunt's lesson that is right, and the widow knows that it is wrong."

looked at Wang Jing again, raised his head and smiled; "General, do you remember me?"

The corners of Wang Jing's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he bowed down with an unnatural expression and said; "Your Majesty, the minister was young and ignorant at that time, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Fusu used to be good friends with Wang Li, and he liked Wang Jing's tiger-headed appearance when he was a child, so he asked Ziying to study martial arts with Wang Jing as a companion. Wang Jing has been tall and tall since he was a child, and he looks like a little bully, while Ziying is a small man who looks weak and can't help but be windy, so he has been bullied by Wang Jing a lot, so Wang Jing has this to say.

Ziying laughed and said; "The general is too underestimated of the widow, at that time it was just a child who played too much, but the widow never held a grudge against you in his heart, on the contrary, he missed the time when you played with me."

He sighed wistfully and said; "Time flies so fast, in a blink of an eye, we have all grown so big, I was forced to be the king of Qin, and you have also become a general, it is really impermanent."

It may be that there are too many words, a gust of wind blew Ziying and coughed again and again, and he couldn't stop for a long time, and the eunuchs around him shouted and shouted the imperial doctor, and Ying Ke hurriedly stepped forward to help Ziying into the carriage. After the imperial doctor arrived and settled, he looked at Han Xin and Wang Jing slightly apologetically: "Your Majesty injured the lung lobe last time, so your body has been very weak, and this time I still insist on coming by force." ”

After speaking, Ying Ke took out the holy decree that had been prepared long ago, and handed it to the eunuch to read aloud the reward for Han Xin and others.

Han Xin was named the Marquis of Wuxin, and Wang Jing was named the Marquis of Wuqiang, and the other generals of all sizes were promoted and rewarded, and they were all beaming for a while.

At this time, Yingbu behind Han Xin did have a sneer in his heart, although he was a little far away, he could hear what he said clearly, and he couldn't help but smile at Meng Shi beside him; "A Marquis of Wuxin, a Marquis of Wugong, a general and a general, what do you think our majesty wants to do? I'm afraid that the general will have a hard time in the future. Instead of being worried, Yingbu was faintly gloating.

Meng Shi said with a rebellious face; "I don't care what kind of general martial arts marquis, I will serve one general in Mengshi, and the others are oldest."

At this time, Qiu Shi on the side couldn't listen to it anymore, and snorted coldly with a calm face; "Mengshi, what kind of are you talking about. Do you know what kind of friendship the general has with the major general of my family, it is a friendship of life and death, so you close your beak to Lao Tzu, don't think that you are the son of General Meng and you can talk nonsense. ”

Meng Shi squinted at Qiu Shi, "What's the matter, do you want to fight?" "Both of them are famous stones, and their nicknames are stones, plus they are both arrogant people, so there are usually a lot of bumps and bumps, and Meng Shi happened to use the topic this time.

Qiu Shi was not to be outdone; "Okay, just fight, I'll look for you after a while."

"It's a deal!"
