Chapter 169 Lin Hu asks for help
Soon, the large group of people arrived one after another.
Seeing Xiangzhuang, Wei Yue was safe and sound. Youyuan, Baili Mao, Baili Yishui, Qin Yu and others breathed a sigh of relief, and went forward one by one to greet Xiangzhuang. Wei Yue greeted him.
When the ceremony was held, Baili Yishui couldn't help but look at Wei Yue for a few more times.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, Baili Yishui always felt that Wei Yue seemed a little different from before, but when she looked carefully, she didn’t find anything inappropriate. In fact, Baili Yishui, an uninformed little girl, would have seen at a glance that Wei Yue had just been moisturized by rain and dew.
After seeing the li, Xiang Zhuang said to Yuyuan again, Baili Mao, "Zichuan, Ziming, there is a big worm in the forest. Please take a few people to carry it out."
Youyuan and Baili Mao took the order and left.
Soon, Bailimao's amazement came from the forest: "What a big white tiger!"
Then Yuyuan's amazement sounded: "Good archery, the general's good archery technique, this arrow shot into the white tiger's mouth, penetrated through the chest and abdomen, and then came out of the feces. The entire tiger skin was not damaged at all. The magical skill is simply amazing!"
Qin Yu and Baili Yishui heard that they had hunted the white tiger, so he rushed into the forest and went to see it.
In this era, tigers, lions and even giant elephants were very common, but white tigers were not common.
Xiang Zhuang looked up at the sky and ordered Jin Xiang, "Jin Xiang, send orders to go on, and the whole army will camp on the spot. It will not be too late to return to the camp after dawn tomorrow."
"No!" Jin Xiang took the order and left.
#############
Ying Zhen walked out of Xiangzhuang's tent with some disappointment.
Early this morning, Ying Zhen came to the Chu army camp again in the name of thanking her. Originally, she wanted to meet Xiang Zhuang, but Xiang Zhuang was not in the camp. Instead, she met the Chu army's military advisor Wei Liao. Although Ying Zhen did not know Wei Liao before, she had heard of the old Wei Taiwei's name from her father, so she was very respectful to him.
Wei Liao followed Ying Zhen out of the tent and said, "Princess, I will send you there."
Ying Zhen hurriedly said, "The old lieutenant should go and rest, but I must not be exhausted."
Wei Liao waved his hand and smiled and said, "The princess is too worried. I am not that old yet."
Ying Zhen stopped saying anything more. The little girl Bingxue was smart. Seeing that Wei Liao insisted on sending her out of the camp, she vaguely guessed that the old Wei Wei probably had something to say to her.
Wei Liao really has something to say to Ying Zhen.
The old lieutenant was so vicious that he could tell at a glance what Ying Zhen was thinking.
Unlike Bailixian, Wei Liao wanted to promote the marriage between Yingzhen and Xiang Zhuang.
Bailixian was worried that Ying Zhen's ambition would cause a catastrophe to the old Qin people in the future, but Wei Liao did not think so. Because Xiang Zhuang had mentioned to him more than once that Hu Hai and Zhao Gao were the culprits in the demise of the Great Qin Empire, but the failure of Emperor Shin-chan to appoint the crown prince in his lifetime was the biggest disaster.
If the First Emperor had appointed the crown prince early, how could the sand dune change come?
Without the Sand Dune Change, Hu Hai would not be the second-generation emperor, Zhao Gao would not be able to hold power, and the Qin Empire would not have perished, at least it would not have perished for the second-generation.
Therefore, Wei Liao never thought that Xiang Zhuang would repeat the mistakes of Emperor First Emperor.
As long as Xiang Zhuang does not repeat the mistakes of Emperor Qin, no matter how scheming and ambitions, Ying Zhen is unable to usurp the authority of the Xiang family, and it is even more impossible to restore the Ying family. Therefore, Wei Liao did not think that Ying Zhen's ambition would bring disaster to the old Qin people. Another point is that after the reunification of the Great Chu, there would be no difference between Qin people, Chu people, Qi people, and Wei people in the world.
Xiang Zhuang also talked about this with Wei Liao in person. Xiang Zhuang said that there are only Chinese people in the Central Plains.
Of course, it’s a bit far from considering these things now. The Chu army is still an isolated army now.
However, because the Chu army was still an isolated army, Wei Liao wanted to promote the marriage between Yingzhen and Xiangzhuang, because once Yingzhen married Xiangzhuang, the old Qin clans such as Baili clan, Ziche clan, Xiqi clan would no longer have any unfair intentions, and even the Meng clan would become the most loyal guardian of Xiang Chu!
There are also the five thousand Qin Iron Cavalry in Jiuyuan City!
These five thousand Qin Iron Cavalry are truly elite cavalry. Once they can be used by the general, not to sweep the Central Plains, at least the cavalry that defeated Guan Ying is absolutely no problem. In this way, except for Han Xin, Peng Yue, Ying Bu and others, the rest, such as Zhang Er, Zangtu, Han Wangxin, Zhou Yin, etc., will never dare to swear the Chu army's troops easily.
Or to put it bluntly, all Wei Liao was thinking about how to get the Chu army back to Jiangdong and how to revive the Great Chu. As for whether the old Qin people would be destroyed in the future, Wei Liao no longer cared much. This old guy just wanted to see the unification of the Great Chu in his lifetime and see that the 36 chapters of "Yu Liaozi" he wrote could be passed down to later generations.
Wei Liao pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "Princess, you should be more intimate with Mrs. Wei Yue."
"Madam Wei Yue?" Ying Zhen's pretty face changed slightly, and then he immediately understood what Wei Liao meant.
Ying Zhen asked in a low voice: "Old Grandmaster, I'm going to find Mrs. Wei Yue like this, won't she be angry?"
"No, of course not." Wei Liao stroked his long beard under his chin and shook his head and said, "Mrs. Wei Yue is kind-hearted and lacks a close friend around him. If the princess goes to find her, she will definitely be happy."
Ying Zhen Bingxue is smart, so how could he not hear Wei Liao’s implication?
Wei Liao was clearly reminding Ying Zhen that if you want to achieve good things, you would better take the path of Mrs. Wei Yue. Xiang Zhuang is a heart-warming person, and it is probably useless to force him.
Ying Zhen bowed to Wei Liaoyingying and said, "Yingzhen thanks for the old lady's teachings."
"Princess, please get up quickly." Wei Liaoshuo sternly, suddenly looked at the gate and said, "No, General and Madam are back."
Ying Zhen turned around when she heard the sound. Sure enough, she saw Xiang Zhuang, Wei Yue riding on a black horse, and rushed into the gate surrounded by three hundred relatives including Youyuan, Baili Mao, Baili Yishui, Qin Yu and Jin Xiang. Seeing Xiang Zhuang's strong and powerful arms around Wei Yue's waist, Wei Yue also looked happy, Ying Zhen couldn't help but frown.
But soon, a charming smile appeared on Ying Zhen's pretty face again.
Xiang Zhuang saw Wei Liao from afar, and immediately turned over and got off the horse and came forward: "Military advisor, I hunted a white tiger. The rare skin is still intact. I will turn around and let you tanned it and send it to you. From now on, every winter every year, you no longer have to worry about your old cold legs, haha."
Before he finished speaking, a carriage had already lifted the white tiger up.
Wei Liao thanked repeatedly and made another gesture to Ying Zhen. Ying Zhen understood it. The general bowed to Xiang Zhuang and Wei Yueyingying, and said respectfully: "Ying Zhen has seen the general and the wife."
Xiang Zhuang slapped his hands and said lightly: "Your Highness, please get up."
Wei Yue didn't dare to be as arrogant as Xiang Zhuang, so he quickly stepped forward and helped Ying Zhen up.
Ying Zhen took Wei Yue's arm affectionately, then walked to the side and whispered. Xiang Zhuang frowned. When he was about to go forward to take Wei Yue away, Wei Liao came forward with a smile and said, "General, King Lin Hu just sent a messenger to ask for help, saying that Lou Angry attacked their ranch and stole a lot of cattle, sheep and horses."
"Oh, King Lin Hu asked for help?" When talking about the serious matter, Xiang Zhuang immediately forgot Wei Yue.
Xiang Zhuang followed Wei Liao to the Central Army camp and said as he walked: "Calculate the time, King Lin Hu should send someone here too. Hehe, this time, I have to make a good deal of him."
Wei Liao said: "What weapons will the general plan to trade this time?"
Xiang Zhuang said: "The Loufan tribe is powerful, so we have to trade them assault weapons so that we can lure them to attack the weak tribes around us. However, the Linhu tribe is relatively weak, so we should give them defensive weapons. I plan to take out two hundred crossbows to trade with the Linhu tribe. What do the military advisors think?"
Wei Liao said happily: "With the Linhu tribe having a bed crossbow, the annoying lot is afraid that it will suffer."
Xiang Zhuang smiled and said, "The more fierce Lou Anren fights with Lin Hu people, the less you are, the more you are, and you have to ask for our support in turn, so that we can make profits on both sides."
Wei Liao smiled and said in a dark voice: "Hehe, the general's mind is probably more than that?"
"Haha, you can't hide anything from the military advisor." Xiang Zhuang beat him up and said, "No, when the Loufan tribe and the Linhu tribe are almost in a state of reunion, our cavalry of Da Chu should be trained in a bit. At that time, we will use these two barbarian tribes to test the swords for my Da Chu cavalry, give me a profit market and win a good start."
From the beginning, Xiangzhuang and Loufan tribe had no good intentions?
Wei Liao shook his head and smiled and said, "Lou is annoying. It's really unfortunate that Lin Hu people meet the general."
Xiang Zhuang sighed and said, "It's a pity, it's a pity that we can't gain a foothold in Yan, Han or Guanzhong. Otherwise, Lin Hu people and Lou Anren can become our help. These Hu people are born cavalry. With two such brave and warlike cavalry, Da Chu is just around the corner."
Wei Liao followed Xiang Zhuang's tone and said, "So, these two Hu people will be even more insincere. Otherwise, if these two Hu people are subdued by Liu Bang, wouldn't the Han army immediately have two powerful cavalry?"
Xiang Zhuang said: "The military advisor is right, so before leaving Jiuyuan, these two Hu people must be wiped out!"
In fact, Xiang Zhuang also knew that according to the historical process, Maodun had almost defeated the Donghu. Either this year or next year, the Huns would go south to reoccupy Hetao. Therefore, Liu Bang basically had no chance to subdue Lou Anren and Lin Hu people. These two Hu tribes would probably merge into the Huns.
But even so, Xiangzhuang would never let these two Hu people go.
After all, the Chu-Han battle between Liu Bang and Xiang Zhuang was just a competition of dominance between the same race, but the battle with the Huns was a desperate battle between various ethnic groups. As a Han Chinese who traveled from later generations, Xiang Zhuang certainly would not wait for the Huns to become stronger and threaten the bloodline of the Chinese.

ps: I have a few questions to reply to.
1. Regarding the identity of the protagonist, a veteran of the People's Liberation Army does not mean that he was a veteran of the first time he was liberated. Are the current veterans not a veteran of the People's Liberation Army? The full name of the Chinese army has always been the People's Liberation Army of China and has not changed to this day.
2. If a rouge horse is the horse king, it must be a stallion? Just like China's two-year feudal history, male emperors have always dominated, but wasn't Wu Zetian also produced? Why can't a wild horse king produce a mother?
3. Dong Bo committed suicide, when Wei Yue went to bed with Xiang Zhuang, etc., I can only say that some readers are too careful to read books. I would like to remind these readers again that the progress of the swordsman writing books is very fast, and many subtle details will be mentioned in one stroke. If you skim it at a glance, you will miss a lot of information.
4. Some people doubt Wei Yue's age and say that Wei State has been destroyed by the Qin Dynasty for twenty years, so Wei Yue is at least thirty years old. Please ask Du Niang first, who is Wei Ju?
5. Some people suspect that there were no tigers in Hetao. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, there were large forests in Hetao. How could there be no tigers? In the late Ming Dynasty, Wu Sangui hunted a white tiger near Shanhaiguan, and often took out his white tiger skin to show off to others.
