After hearing this, the Minister of the Military Affairs Department said tentatively: "Master, maybe he didn't see this, and it is impossible for a person to be without any negligence..."

Sima Yiqing shook his head: "Don't underestimate the enemy. Maybe he is setting up a bigger trap, let's go and drill."

After hearing this, all the officials and ministers also started to discuss it. They were confused about Qian Xiaoxing's actions to attack Long Zhan City. Everyone thought of a lot of answers to what Qian Xiaoxing was selling in the gourd, but there was no result.

Seeing that everyone could not find the result, King Hu asked Sima Yiqing: "Tai Shi, what should we do now?"

Sima Yiqing replied: "Emperor, now our Hu country's troops are in various strongholds and Lin State. Yan State is confronting each other. Previously, 80,000 elite troops were reserves, so they could still be mobilized, but they had to withdraw the troops from the stronghold. I was afraid that Yan State and Lin State would take the opportunity to attack. However, we can issue a recruitment order, and after recruiting 100,000 soldiers, replace the veterans of the stronghold."

King Hu said worriedly: "Previously, 80,000 went to the army, but this time, only 100,000 went to the army. Should we be less? Should we recruit more troops?"

Although Hu State is powerful, 80,000 soldiers are not a small number. This crushing defeat has a great blow to Hu State, and it is even more impossible to swallow this breath. Sima Yiqing thought and said, "One hundred thousand troops are enough, but this time, I will meet Qian Xiaoxing for a while to see if he is really three heads and six arms, and has such great ability."

When King Hu heard this, he hesitated. It was not that he did not support Sima Yiqing to lead the troops, but that if Sima Yiqing was arrested, then Hu State would be even more difficult to compete with Si State. King Hu asked earnestly: "Tao Shi, there will be no trouble going this time, right?"

Sima Yiqing heard that King Hu was concerned about him and smiled and said, "The emperor is worried too much. Even if Qian Xiaoxing is powerful, I still have the ability to protect myself. Please be content with the emperor. Si State is still just a dragon trapped in the shallows. We must take this opportunity to curb Si State, otherwise the situation will become increasingly unfavorable to our Hu State in the future."

"Okay, the Grand Master will definitely succeed. After I catch Qian Xiaoxing, I will shave him one by one!" King Hu said angrily.

"Well, then please issue a recruitment order immediately, collect 100,000 people and replace the veterans at the stronghold. I will immediately order the troops to set off." Sima Yiqing replied.

"Write it immediately." King Hu immediately wrote the Dao recruiting order and issued it nationwide.

However, when Hu State was recruiting troops across the country and preparing to take revenge, Si State was also in full swing. It was already ten days before Longzhan City was captured. The piers on the river had been built, but the cement had not been completely hardened. It would take a few more days to wait. The moat in front of him had been dug and the entire pass had been built more than half.

King Si personally came to the scene to encourage the people, thinking that once the construction of Cangqiong Pass was completed, all the territory of the State of Si could be recovered. This almost impossible thing in the past was now in front of him. King Si was also extremely excited. He was finally no longer the king of the country that had been destroyed.

There were people coming and going on the road, and the traffic flowed endlessly. In addition to moving the building materials from Cangkong Pass, the Qian Group products that had been piled up for a long time also began to be transported out. The caravan that had been blocked for a long time finally opened again.

The weather is now early July, and it is getting hotter. Before we know it, Qian Xiaoxing has actually been a year since time traveling through time. Qian Xiaoxing recalled the past and helped Si State recover the territory occupied by Hu State. However, it is currently in an unstable state and may be occupied by Hu State at any time. Only by building the Cangqiong Pass can resist the attack of the Hu army and leaving the Hu army with no choice, that is the real recovery.

The Hu city nearest to Cangkong Pass is named Wujiao. The reason for its name is that this city is not the same as an ordinary city. The wall is a regular pentagonal. Qian Xiaoxing makes people pay close attention to the movements of this city and whether Hu army comes to station to prevent the Hu army from launching a sneak attack on Cangkong Pass under construction.

When King Si saw Qian Xiaoxing, he naturally praised him, but he was worried and asked, "Xiao Qian, can this Cangqiong Pass resist the counterattack of the Hu army?"

Qian Xiaoxing replied confidently: "King Si, although Cangqiong Pass is a hundred meters long, except for the section of the river, the actual amount of resistance is only seventy meters. With the moat that is more than fifty meters wide in front of him, it is not easy for Hu Jun to fight through Cangqiong."

King Si is also quite proficient in military affairs. He has no objection to Qian Xiaoxing's answer and said in admiration: "That's great."

"But..." Qian Xiaoxing said worriedly: "Will the Hu army borrow it from Lin State to travel? If we come from Lin State's Huju Pass, we will almost lose defense. There is only one city wall in this Cangqiong Pass, which is different from Panlong Pass and cannot withstand attacks in both directions."

King Si thought for a while and said, "Hu and Lin have fought several battles in the past, and I think it is unlikely that the country will lend a way to Hu. If Hu comes over and destroy our country, Hu will be stronger. I think Lin will not want to see it. This time when we fight Hu, Lin may be secretly happy."

After listening to King Si's analysis, Qian Xiaoxing also felt it was reasonable, but the Huju Pass stationed by Lin State could directly send troops to threaten Si State, which was a concern after all.

Ten days later, Cangkong Pass was finally built. There were two-story arrow towers on a row of tall city walls, dominating the pass, ready to resist the attack of the Hu army.

Qian Xiaoxing, Lu Shengzhong and three commanders of the Independent Brigade climbed the city wall. There were powerful crossbow machines in the front line on the city wall, and there were a row of catapults behind them. With the defense experience of Panlong Pass, the firepower points of Cangqiong Pass were distributed more in place.

The 50-meter moat before the pass was dug very deeply. The road from the pass to the outside was paved with cement piers and wooden boards were paved. Once the Hu army came to attack, the road could be cut off as long as the wooden boards were burned off.

Under the bridge hole on the river surface, Qian Xiaoxing also ordered people to block it with a copper fence to prevent Hu army from attacking from the water. After seeing it, the three regiment commanders nodded. They were definitely confident that they could defend such a pass.

The entire sky was locked in the afterglow of the sunset, and the shadows were long. The light shone on the black military uniforms of these independent brigade generals, reflecting golden light. They also saw confidence and strength from their firm eyes, and would not be afraid of any enemies.

Lu Shengzhong asked: "Seventh brother, Cangqiong Pass has been built, and the four cities can be defended without worries. The King of Si means to hold a national ceremony to celebrate the regaining of the territory of Si and strengthen the morale of the soldiers and repay the kindness of the people. What do you think?"

Qian Xiaoxing nodded and said, "I agree that regaining the country is a big event, and it is worth celebrating. However, we will have a military parade to test the troops and increase the morale of the troops."

"Then let's hold the Hu army before it comes. I think it will be held in three days." Lu Shengzhong suggested.

"no problem."

Three days later, the national ceremony will be held soon. Qian Xiaoxing came to the command building of Cangkong Pass and wanted to inspect it again. The more such a moment, the less we cannot relax.
