Chapter 173 Careful Design
"The old Qin people gave up Jiuyuan City?!" Xiang Zhuang looked at Bailixian in surprise.
Bailixian nodded and said solemnly: "Yes, the old Qin people have moved to Linhe City to the west."
Just half an hour ago, Meng Feng suddenly sent someone to call Bailixian into Jiuyuan City, and then told Bailixian about the amazing news. Bailixian was also quite surprised when he heard the news. Since Meng Tian, the old Qin people had been operating in Jiuyuan for ten years. How could they really give up on such a mighty city?
Wei Liao pondered for a moment and asked, "Ziliang, do you know Neiqian?"
Bailixian hesitated for a while and said, "It is said that this was proposed by Princess Yingzhen."
"Princess Yingzhen?" Wei Liao stroked his long beard and said thoughtfully, "It turned out to be her."
Bailixian said to Xiang Zhuang again: "General, the old Qin people have left, let's go into the city."
"Well, I'll order the entire army to join the army and immediately station it!" Xiang Zhuang naturally would not be polite to the great gifts offered by the old Qin people. After the Chu army entered the city, they no longer had to worry about the Hu people's sneak attacks. They just needed to leave a small number of troops to defend the city. The rest of the army and battalions could even go deep into the desert to hunt instead of riding and shooting training.
If you want to practice cavalry well, just running on the school ground is not enough.
However, Xiang Zhuang was puzzled as to why Ying Zhen persuaded the old Qin people to give up Jiuyuan City.
Could it be that Ying Zhen was impressed by his Xiang Zhuang's charm and wanted to please him through this action? Xiang Zhuang couldn't help laughing when he thought of this. He didn't think he could have such charm, nor did he think he could make Ying Zhen, a vixen who harmed the country and the people so in love. There might be other considerations in this?
However, Xiang Zhuang was not worried about this. It should be noted that Xiang Zhuang is not a fool. There are even wise men like Wei Liao and Bailixian. Even if it is Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, it will not be easy to plot against the Chu army. As for Ying Zhen, no matter how scheming or ambition is, he can still be more powerful than Zhang Liang and Chen Ping?

Half a month later, Linhe and the princess was on the throne.
Linhe was originally a big city, but with the demise of the Qin Empire, the Kwantung military and civilians in Hetao left one after another, and the remaining old Qin people also gathered in Jiuyuan. Linhe City gradually declined. Now, there are less than a hundred households in Linhe City and less than a hundred Qin troops stationed.
However, after the old Qin people moved in, Linhe became lively again.
In the princess's shaft, an oil lamp was burning quietly on the desk. The dim light illuminated every corner of the hall and cast two long shadows on the wall.
They were two tall and thin middle-aged men.
These two men were none other than two of the eighteen guards who protected Ying Zhen and escaped from Xianyang.
Amid the light footsteps, Ying Zhen, dressed in black, walked into the hall like a ghost. Two middle-aged men quickly turned around, held their swords and bowed to Ying Zhen and said, "See the princess."
Ying Zhen gently shook his hands and signaled that the two of them would be exempted from gifts.
"Princess Xie." Two middle-aged men put away their swords and stood up one after another.
Ying Zhen took out a silk book from his sleeve and handed it to one of them, saying sadly: "Bo Feng, you choose three fast horses and travel day and night to Hexi, hand it over to my mother-in-law Xiu Tu, and then tell Xiu Tu, that the honor and disgrace of our palace, and whether the Qin Empire can be revived are all in his thoughts."
"No!" The man named Ye Fengbo took the silk book and took the order.
Ying Zhen took out another silk book and handed it to the remaining man and said, "Meng Bo, look carefully."
A man named Meng Bo took the silk book, read it carefully for a moment, and returned it to Ying Zhen.
Ying Zhen asked, "Meng Bo, have you remembered it?" After receiving Meng Bo's affirmative answer, Ying Zhen put the silk book on the oil lamp. Seeing the silk book gradually turning into ashes in the fire, Ying Zhen suddenly sighed softly and said in a faint voice, "Meng Bo, this matter is of great importance, and you must not miss the slightest noise."
Meng Bo bowed with his sword and said resolutely: "Don't worry, princess, I know what to do."
Ying Zhen nodded slightly, and Meng Bo bowed and retreated, and soon fell into darkness.

Ten days later, an amazing news came to Linhe, and King Xiu Tu led his army to approach Gaoque!
The Xiutu tribe is a large tribe nomadic in Hexi. It is neither the Yuezhi people nor the Xiongnu, but an independent tribe like the Aries tribe, Linhu tribe, and Loufan tribe. However, the Xiutu tribe is much stronger than the Loufan, Linhu tribe, with a population of more than 200,000 and 60,000 to 70,000 string control men!
When she heard that Xiu Tu's army was approaching Gaoque, Meng Meng suddenly became alert.
The Hetao Plain has an extremely superior geographical location. There are rushing rivers in the west and east as natural barriers, and there are Yinshan Mountains and Yangshan Mountains as natural barriers. Zhao and Qin have successively built the Great Wall and built a city at Quekou between the two mountains. This is the famous dangerous pass in the northern part of Hetao!
If the cavalry broke through Gaoque, the first person to be affected would be the old Qin people in Linhe.
Although King Xiu Tu and Ying were in-laws, Meng Feng did not think that Xiu Tu would be more troubling than the old Qin people.
After receiving the message from Gaoque's fast horse, Meng Feng did not dare to neglect it, so he immediately raised 4,000 elite troops to defend Gaoque, and only more than a thousand defenders were left in Linhe City.
.............
At the same time, King Lou Fan also fled back to the Northern Fake Royal Court with more than 10,000 defeated soldiers.
The matter has to start from half a month ago. Since Lou Fanren got 20,000 iron weapons, his combat power has increased sharply and his ambition has begun to expand. Soon after that, Lou Fanren began to unscrupulously snatch the cattle, sheep and livestock of the Linhu people. The desert grassland was originally a world where the strong prey on the weak, so this situation is normal.
Uncle Gong said that although he felt something was wrong, he did not stop Lou Fanwang.
King Lou Fan originally thought that King Hu would swallow his anger, but it turned out to be completely different.
The Linhu tribe soon launched a cruel revenge, looting the settlements of the Loufan tribe one after another, not only snatched all the cattle, sheep, and livestock, but also snatched all the women and children. The captured vanguard was also beheaded, which completely angered the Loufan King, and now all the Loufan army rushed to the clouds.
In the Battle of Yunzhong, Loufan's army first won the battle in a row and beheaded thousands!
However, in the final decisive battle to attack Lin Hu's king's court, the back formation of Lin Hu suddenly appeared with hundreds of crossbows. The giant arrows like short spears were like dense raindrops, and suddenly poured out on the unprepared Lou Anren. The Lou Anren's cavalry that was charging suddenly fell down one by one. Hao Anren, thousands of people and horses were shot to the opposite side!
