Chapter 425

Lao Zhu's father, after they finally brought out a batch of gold and silver, sealed the hole, and even a few people were buried alive in the cave in order to prevent the corpse demons inside from coming out of the skylight they hit.

Lao Zhu's father, when he was selling gold and silver at the border of Qi and Wei, was found to be in the tomb, so he was arrested. Fortunately, it was during the war at that time, and his father fled to Wei, and then moved to Qin to settle down.

After Qin Xi listened to the story, the sky was already dark. When he learned that Lao Zhu's father was still alive, Qin Xi said that after going back this time, he must pay a visit, which made Lao Zhu feel flattered.

For Qin Xi, the main reason for visiting Lao Zhu's father was that he still didn't believe it, after all, the dead Duke Qi Huan had become a demon, which was a bit too mysterious.

Qin Xi and Lao Zhu took a break casually and got up. A thick puff of smoke also rose from the village in the distance, and it was Chen Bin who was burning grain.

Lao Zhu stocked all the chickens here, and after sprinkling a few sacks of grain here, the army left here.

After joining Chen Bin, the wolf cavalry army went all the way to the east and went straight to the east.

Three hours after the wolf rode away, Xiang Bo and the men and horses arrived late, and when he saw the burned village, he rolled his eyes and fell directly off the horse.

"General! Checkmate! The generals behind him suddenly panicked.

When Uncle Xiang opened his eyes again, he was greeted by the eager and caring eyes of his eldest brother Xiang Liang. "It turns out that the eldest brother is still the same eldest brother." Xiang Bo smiled with relief in his heart.

However, after seeing that Xiang Bo woke up, Xiang Liang immediately put away his caring eyes and said without emotion: "Wake up, wake up, wake up, and tell me what's going on." Xiang Liang said and sat on the chair next to him with a blank face.

Xiang Bo sat up, looked at Xiang Liang and said, "Big brother, the grain village was attacked, and the grain, grass and weapons inside were all burned by a fire. If the grain and grass in our army want to wait for the delivery from Donghui, I am afraid that we will be hungry for a few days. ”

Xiang Liang asked, "Do you think it was Qin Jun's doing?" ”

Xiang Bo sat on the bed and said without hesitation: "This must have been done by the Qin army, and it is likely to be a wolf ride." Even the previous bandits may have been pretending to be a wolf! ”

Xiang Liang said: "There has been a report from the front, and since the wolf rider has been evacuated, there has been no trace, and there is no trace of the wolf rider even in Sichuan County." ”

The information that Xiang Liang said further explained that it was the wolf rider, that is to say, the wolf rider actually penetrated into their hinterland without their knowledge, which was simply terrifying.

Xiang Liang continued: "What do you think the wolf rider wants to do? ”

Xiang Bo thought for a while, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, took the map and said, "The current situation can confirm that the wolf rode at the intersection of the three counties before. It is obviously not a wise choice to continue to stay in Jiujiang, and it is obviously not a wise choice to go east into Donghui and be isolated, and in the face of the strength of our three armies, Chu, Zhao and Wei. ”

"Only by going south to enter Gulu and joining up with the army of Wu County and the army of the Southern Expedition is the best choice." Xiang Liang pointed to the map and said.

Xiang Bo straightened up and said, "If it is an ordinary general, he will inevitably choose to go south." But this Qin Xi not only has arrogance, but also does not lack courage, so I think that the possibility of running the wolf to ride east into Donghui will be greater. ”

"In that case, can the two sides of Donghui County and Guyan County be able to stop the chaos of the wolf riders?" Xiang Liang said.

"It's very difficult to defend Guyan, and it's obviously a matter of time before Guyan is lost now, I think we can even give up Jiujiang and retreat to Donghui, and at the same time annihilate the wolf cavalry in Donghui in one fell swoop, and capture Qin Xi alive to blackmail Yingzheng to withdraw his troops." Xiang Bo pointed at Dong Hui and said.

Xiang Liang shook his head and said: "Jiujiang can't give up, if Jiujiang is lost, it will inevitably damage the morale of the army." Moreover, the three kingdoms of Qi, Yan and Han can only be isolated in Hengshan, we can't give up our allies, we don't have many allies. ”

"But the current strength of our army is simply not enough to hold the land of these three counties, and if we continue to hold on, we will only be eaten away by the Qin army step by step, and if we are compressed back to Donghui at that time, it will really be too late." Xiang Bo said anxiously.

"Okay, there is no need to say any more, Jiujiang can't give up at the moment, at least wait for the three armies of Qi Yan and Han to withdraw from Hengshan. Since Qin Xi is likely to lead his troops to Donghui, then you will personally go back to Donghui and bury Qin Xi and his wolf riding in Donghui! Xiang Liang said.

"Since the eldest brother has arranged it like this, then I'll go back to Donghui. But big brother, I want to take Shaoyu back to Donghui together, and I have to leave a way back for our Xiang family. Xiang Bo said.

"Well, let's take Shaoyu with you." Xiang Liang sighed and said: "The war on the Baiyue side is basically clear, the Xiongnu and Donghu in the north are shocked by the thunder weapons of that day and dare not go south, and now we are really alone." ”

"In just one year, we have gone from the beginning of the army to the revelation of defeat, in just one year!" Xiang Bo clenched his fist and slammed it on the table.

"After all, we are still not well prepared, and the new weapons of the Qin people have forced us to start in advance. But we haven't lost completely, it's up to those guys to succeed, and if they do, we'll be able to recover without blood! Xiang Liang clenched his fists and said.

"Big brother, I don't believe in those people, it's better to rely on yourself if you rely on everyone to go and rely on the mountains." Xiang Bo shook his head and said.

Xiang Liang got up and patted Xiang Bo on the shoulder, and said, "That's it, tomorrow you and Shaoyu will set off to go back to Donghui, and you must catch the wolf cavalry and annihilate it, which will greatly boost the morale of our army." ”

Xiang Bo nodded, and then watched Xiang Liang leave the room.

At the same time, Great Qin's northern and southern armies also encountered problems.

The three armies of Qi, Yan and Han relied on Hengshan and blocked the Qin army to the west of Hengshan. In the northeast, the armies of Zhao and Wei relied on the Yellow River and formed a confrontation with the Mengwu army on both sides of the strait.

The only good news for the Qin army was that the army of Wu Jun and the defenders of Guyan had recovered the southern part of Guyan, and the army of Zhengnan had also joined up with the two armies, and was resting, and it looked like a large-scale attack was about to be launched.

It was precisely because of the urgency of the war in Guyan that Xiang Liang was unable to organize a large army to go north when the wolf had already left Jiujiang.

Although Xiang Liang guessed Qin Xi's whereabouts, the Great Qin Dynasty didn't know where Qin Xi had gone with the wolf.

The disappearance of the wolf rider can keep the dark guard busy, but they can never find where the wolf rider is. The First Emperor didn't even want to mention the wolf riding anymore, and if the hundred officials knew that the future prince was gone, it would give him a headache for several days.
