On February 28, the prisoner handover operation between the two armies was carried out outside Lantian Pass. The Qin Army's 15,000 generals escorted the first batch of about 3,000 Han prisoners to the front of the formation.

"Jiujiu Lao Qin, restore our rivers and mountains, we will not bleed dry, and we will fight until we die!"

A deep and deep Qin army war song sounded in the drums. Compared with the sparse and spiritless shouts of the Han army generals, this war song seemed particularly majestic and soul-stirring.

Liu Bang rode a chariot with a complex expression, standing under the banner of the Han Army's Central Army, overlooking the black Qin Army formation in front of him. Compared with the second-rate county troops in Xingyang a year ago, Li Yuan's troops

This Qin army is so familiar that it makes people feel a heavy sense of oppression.

"Great Qin, Great Qin!" This cry was the sound of the Qin people in Guanzhong waking up, and their awakening would cause so much trouble and bloodshed.

"The wind is strong, the wind is blowing, the clouds are flying, and the warriors are guarding the four directions, guarding the four directions -!" In Liu Bang's old chest, a heart that was still beating was beating fiercely, causing him to shout suddenly and loudly.

Ever since he found the first line of the Great Wind Song at the foot of Xingyang City last time, Liu Bang has been thinking hard, but he has never been able to think of the next line that satisfies him. Today, he was excited by the Qin army's war song, and Liu Bang, who had suffered a defeat, was in a difficult mood.

Ping, couldn't help but recite another line of the Gale Song.

The Han army was defeated and the soldiers were exiled.

I wonder if there will be brave warriors coming to protect the mountains, rivers and territory of Han.

"A strong warrior is here, guard the four directions!"

"The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying!"

As Liu Bang and a group of generals hummed, after a while, the Han army also followed the rhythm and shouted the Han army's military song "Great Wind Song" composed by Liu Bang.

Encouraged by Liu Bang's war songs, the eyes of the Han soldiers began to become bloodshot and red. The massacre and oppression of the Qin people in the past flooded into their hearts like scenes, making them resentful.

——.

The Qin army is in formation.

The military song gradually died down, and only the breathing of the soldiers echoed in my ears.

Li Yuan was in the Qin army's formation, looking coldly at the Han army in front of him. Liu Bang was from a reckless background, and the Han army generals under his command who were wearing red coats and red scarves also had the same reckless attitude. Facing him,

When times are good, they will lose their minds and make uncontrollable and ridiculous actions. When faced with difficulties, they will fight to the death and burst out with formidable power.

"Liu Bang is indeed the man who founded the Han Dynasty. In such a difficult situation, he can still have such inspiring methods." Li Yuan felt secretly vigilant in his heart.

"Ransom the prisoner!"

Accompanied by the loud shouts of the military commanders, a prisoner redemption transaction that is extremely rare in the history of war began in front of the two armies. The reason why it was done in full view of the public was mainly because of the mutual trust between Li Yuan and Liu Bang.

The degree is already close to zero.

One, two, three.

First team, second team, third team.

One after another, the defeated soldiers of the Han army dragged their extremely tired bodies and walked from one end to the other with numb expressions. During the days of being captured, Li Yuan did not waste these good labors and moved to another place.

The large-scale project to rebuild Xianyang City will be launched after the beginning of spring, and these prisoners will be responsible for the heaviest excavation work.

The money and grain paid by Liu Bang can only be exchanged for the first batch of prisoners at present, and the rest will have to wait for the grain shipped from Hanzhong and Bashu to make up for it.

This time's Northern Expedition was a heavy defeat for Liu Bang, which not only cost him many elite generals, but also caused him to lose the food and fodder used to support large-scale operations in the new year.

The grain and fodder in Hanzhong and Bashu were not extracted in limited quantities. It is conceivable that Liu Bang's promise of exemption from taxes and corvee promised by Liu Bang in the two places will no longer be fulfilled.

——.

Li Yuan was named Shenwuhou, and the news that the Qin army had achieved an unprecedented victory in Guanzhong not only inspired the officers and soldiers fighting in Yongqi, but also gave the frontier troops who had been away from home a sense of belonging.

March of the second year of the Qin Dynasty.

Jiuyuan.

Outside this famous fortress city, the long grass secretly sprouted new buds. At the top of the city built of bluestone, still flying the flag of Qin in black with white characters.

"Marquis Shenwu, mighty!" Upon hearing the news that Li Yuan rescued Meng Hu and defeated Liu Bang, Wang Li, the always arrogant frontier army commander, was finally moved. Wang Li, who had always wanted to compete with Zhang Han, suddenly discovered that his

Compared with Li Yuan, the narrow realm is really far behind.

If it were him, would he give up the huge benefits at his fingertips and risk being cut off to save an friendly army that has no big relationship and just helped each other a few times? Wang Li asked himself that he didn't have such magnanimity.

In fact, the reason why Wang Li did not become the first-rate general of Qin like Wang Jian and Wang Ben was because he was too smooth sailing. In his eyes, he could not tolerate others surpassing him, nor could he tolerate anyone with talent.

Wang Li, who felt ashamed in his heart, finally faced his own shortcomings for the first time. For this military leader who had been a general for generations, such an examination was no less than a rebirth.

As the most elite field army in the Qin Dynasty, after the frontier army went south, many battles ended in defeat. Wang Li felt aggrieved, and Su Jiao and Meng Hu also felt angry. Now, Gao Nu's retreat has been stabilized.

Now that the frontier generals had their own rear area, and with Li Yuan's strong ally in the pass, Wang Li suddenly became more motivated to fight.

March 4th.

The Qin border army, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly launched a major counterattack against the Xiongnu tribe that had invaded Jiuyuan under the leadership of the border general Wang Li.

Wang Li, the Qin border general who had made many mistakes before, finally showed his charisma as a general. In the battle of Yinshan, the three main forces of the border army, Wang Li, Su Jiao, and Meng Hu, went into battle together to fight against the Xiongnu who were unwilling to retreat.

Left Bone Duhou, Right Bone Duhou

The second line of cavalry fought again, and the frontier army, which had no worries, exploded with astonishing combat effectiveness. As a result, the Huns, who had underestimated the enemy, suffered a heavy loss and were expelled by the frontier army, which was bent on proving that they were the most elite of the Qin State.

Arriving in the Mobei area.

This battle for pasture left the fertile Jiuwan Plain of the Great River still in the hands of the Qin army. The Hetao with its lush pastures that the Huns longed for was still pregnant and nourishing the border people of Qin, supporting horses and horses.

A war horse of the Qin army.

Resist the Han army in the south and fight against the Xiongnu in the north.

After two years of fighting, Li Yuan, who started from scratch, finally grabbed a fertile foundation in the Guanzhong Plain. Although he still has to face many tests, as long as he works together, the Qin people in Guanzhong have begun to believe that under the leadership of Li Yuan

, the rejuvenation of Qin will definitely be realized.
