The state of Chu was extremely anxious.

After meeting Kuai Che, Han Xin suddenly felt that the situation was serious, so he urgently wrote a letter and sent it to Chang'an immediately.

this summer.

In the Guanzhong area, newly reclaimed farmland, immigrants who moved to Hexi, and merchants from the Western Regions, Bashu, southern Yunnan, and the East China Sea decorated the new capital Chang'an like a flower.

Shenwuhou Mansion.

Nestled among the green, tall Sophora japonica, willows hanging down the river, and red, white, and pink flowers decorate the courtyard wall exceptionally beautifully.

Of course, the person responsible for designing this mansion would not be Li Yuan, a busy man with no interest who only knows how to mount a horse and fight. Only a young lady like Xin Zhui would have the thought to decorate her home and house.

Fuzhong.

A group of female relatives were surrounding a fat baby who was having fun and relieving his boredom. The six-month-old baby was at the time when he was least afraid of people. The guy whom Li Yuan nicknamed brat was hugging him from left to right, surrounded by several beauties.

Had a lot of fun in between.

"You stinky boy, why don't you go to bed early? Do you want a spanking?" Li Yuan threatened his son with a face on his face.

"Wow, wow!" Li Yuan was answered by the fat boy's heart-rending cry. In his young heart, Li Yuan was like a big devil, always jumping out and killing him when he was happiest.

The happiness was snatched from my hands in one fell swoop.

Such as now.

He is coming to steal his mother-in-law again.

After Li Yuan returned from Hexi, he finally had some time to recuperate his extremely tired body. At the same time, in this short time, he also had time to be intimate with his new baby for the first time.

.In the past few years of fighting, he was like a non-stop machine, overdrawing his future life.

Now, the Qin State has finally embarked on the right path of rejuvenation. What Li Yuan, the helmsman, has to do is to push the ship hard when it needs to turn or adjust its direction.

"My son, since he was born in winter, must be helped by fire, so why not call him Li Ye, which means that he will continue to live the fire of China and pass it on forever." Like many young fathers, Li Ye, for his offspring, especially boys,

Yuan also has his own expectations, although he does not necessarily think that Li Ye is the right person to govern a huge empire.

"Li Ye. Ye'er, what do you think of this name? Does it sound good?" Ying Yushu hugged Li Ye's wet and slippery body, with love and joy in his eyes.

"Wow, wow!" It's just that the six-month-old child naturally wouldn't answer his mother's question. What he stared at in his eyes was just the bulging mass of good things on his mother's chest that could feed his belly.

.

"Look, it scares the child." Ying Yushu rolled his eyes at Li Yuan, lowered his head and stuffed his bulging vagina into Li Ye's mouth. On the aspect of breastfeeding, Ying Yushu's thoughts were different from Li Yuan's.

Same thing, and she insists on feeding her herself and does not want other specialized wet nurses to take her place.

Happy days always pass quickly.

The changes in the war in the north made the Qin State, which was peaceful during this period, inevitably involved in the mystery of the war between Chu and Hungary. The arrival of Kuai Che made Qin State face a new decision.

"Urgent report from the county, open the door quickly." At the gate of Chang'an City, in the night, a horseman shouted from far to near.

At the gate of the city, a group of soldiers patrolling the city held their chests high, showing themselves to passers-by who were looking at them from a distance that they were warriors who had returned from the battle in Hexi.

"What's going on? What happened in Dai County?" A young soldier asked in a low voice.

"Didn't you hear that Chu State is at war with the Huns? Daijun is just south of Yandi. What is written in this urgent report must be related to the war. If you don't believe it, let's bet -!" The older man with a strong beard said

Han chuckled.

"What's the point of gambling? General Han Xin's camp is in Dai County. With his ability, he will definitely fight a big battle. You have to be optimistic. Marquis Wu may be going to conquer it himself this time." In the two

Behind the soldier, a gloomy-looking Ma Jin, straddling his sword, was patrolling here with a group of soldiers.

The Battle of Hexi.

Ma Jin fought a small battle with the Huns under Zhang Han. Although he made some achievements, his achievements were insignificant compared with the generals of the main force of the Qin army. Fortunately, with this performance, and

With Zhang Han's strong recommendation, Ma Jin was finally transferred from the baggage troops and reorganized into the Qin Army's frontline troops.

Next, what he needs to do is to wait patiently for the next opportunity to go out, and now, the opportunity has appeared.

Peng!

The oars of the boat hit the river surface hard, splashing with waves.

The boat hits the water in the middle of the current.

After receiving an urgent report from Han Xin, Li Yuan bid farewell to his wife and children at home and once again set foot on the battlefield on the Eastern Front. As a man of the Qin Dynasty, he must have the courage to face challenges directly. The personal relationship between his children can only be put aside in the face of national justice.

.

The Chu army was besieged Ji County.

On the surface, this is a war that has nothing to do with Qin, but in fact, its outcome will have a profound impact on the future situation.

After several years of experience, Li Yuan was no longer the young captain who was limited to a corner of the civil war. Starting from the Battle of Hexi, his focus was on his biggest opponent, the Xiongnu Great Chan Yu Maodun.

The Chu army must rescue him.

It is in the interests of Qin and Chu to unite with Xiang Yu and defeat the arrogant Huns. Even if they fight life and death between brothers, it is an internal matter. To deal with foreign enemies like the Xiongnu, they should be united and work together.

Only in this way can Qin win the support of the Chu people and lay a solid foundation for the subsequent unification war.

From Chang'an to Dai County, Li Yuan chose the water route this time. This was mainly because the water volume of the river increased in summer, which greatly improved the river's traffic conditions. At the same time, it was more convenient to take a rest by boat, and people in the boat could sit and relax.

Working while resting is not as strenuous as riding a horse or traveling by car.

After three days of sailing, Li Yuan's personal troops landed at Luoyang, and then headed north along the newly built Chidao from Sanchuan County to Handan County.

July 20th.

Li Yuan successfully arrived at the county seat of Daijun: Gucheng.

Accompanying him were more than 5,000 Gan Yong's personal troops. Ma Jin, who was eager to prove himself through meritorious service, was also among them and held the position of military marquis, although he was lowered by one rank than the captain of the baggage troops.

level, but Ma Jin was still very excited, because every soldier in Li Yuan's personal army was selected from a hundred. If one day he was released, he would be an important general guarding one side.

Kuai Che had been waiting eagerly in Daijun. He had learned from Han Xin early that the Qin State Shenwuhou would come in person, which made him both excited and a little ashamed.

What's exciting is that with Li Yuan's record as a victorious general and two victories against the Xiongnu in World War II, if he wants to relieve the Chu army, he has a very high possibility of success.

What is shameful is that a year ago, he boasted in front of Li Yuan about Haikou and would work hard to promote an alliance between Qin and Chu. But in the end, he himself was imprisoned, and the alliance could only be abandoned.

"Kuai Gong, I haven't seen you for a year. You don't look very good. Why, if the weather in Pengcheng is not suitable, then come to Chang'an in our Qin State. There, I have already prepared a good house for you.

Mansion." As soon as Li Yuan saw Kuai Che, he smiled and stepped forward to greet him.

Talent.

In particular, people like Kuai Che who have the ability to predict and argue are what the Qin State urgently needs at present. One Lu Jia is not enough to support all the Qin State's diplomacy. With the expansion of its territory, the Qin State needs to face

The right opponents are also gradually upgrading. In the future competition with the Xiongnu and even more powerful foreign opponents in the west, if Kuai Che can vote for Qin, it will undoubtedly allow Qin to perform better in the diplomatic field.

"Ahem, cough, Wuhou, Kuai came here at this time because the overlord was trapped in Yan. Now the war in the north is stalemate. Jixian has been surrounded by Xiongnu barbarians for half a month. If there is no more

Reinforcements have arrived, and the Overlord may—!" Kuai Che's old face turned red, and the light of hope flashed in his eyes.

Obviously, he was moved by Li Yuan's blatant surrender. However, due to face constraints, Kuai Che, as the envoy of Chu, could not make the move to defect to another country during his mission.

"General Han, do you know anything about the situation on the north bank of Yishui River and tell me in detail?" Li Yuan nodded and asked Han Xin while riding his horse towards the Qin army's camp.

"Marquis Wu, in the past few days, the last general has sent scouts to the north many times. It is reported that the Huns besieging Jixian County have about 150,000 fighting troops, and about 30,000 to 40,000 people have lost their combat effectiveness due to illness.

, these sick soldiers were uniformly placed in an abandoned military camp of the Chu army in the north of the city by Maodun, and then transported back to the north by the Huns in batches.

Due to the drag of the Huns, the Huns have not launched an attack on Jixian for a long time. As for the situation in the city, it is still impossible to know because the Huns block the news very tightly. However, ten days ago, a Chu army broke out from the city at night.

He tried to break through the encirclement and come towards the direction where our army was stationed, but unfortunately, he was overtaken by the Huns on the other side of the river——." Han Xin answered slowly.

Fifteen thousand people.

This number is much less than Li Yuan expected. According to Han Xin's intelligence, it was Mao Dun who sent troops in batches to escort the sick soldiers north, which reduced the Huns' strength a lot. What is more likely is that Mao Dun was against

I am optimistic about the current war situation and believe that it is no longer necessary to maintain a large-scale military force in Yan.

"Our army is currently on the eastern front. How many troops can we use?" Li Yuan asked.

"The main force of 50,000 generals on the eastern front, plus 20,000 local county troops, are all ready and at the disposal of Marquis Wu. In addition, General Zhongli, Marquis of Changshan, sent someone to inform him that he is ready to lead the army north to rescue Xiang Yu.

There are about 10,000 troops under our command, and they are already on their way to Yishui." Han Xin said.

"The total of the two armies is only 60,000, which is still a little less. I ordered General Wang of Jiuyuan's frontier army to quickly dispatch a cavalry army from the Hetao area to march eastward to cooperate with our army." After analyzing the situation between the enemy and ourselves, Li Yuan

, even after issuing the first combat order, only Li Yuan could make such an order that required coordination between the two Qin armies on the eastern and northern fronts. This is why Han Xin had to wait for Li Yuan to come. (Unfinished
