Xianyang City, Xianyang Palace.

As soon as you enter the palace gate, you can see a row of buildings on both sides of the left and right sides. This was once the office location of some central officials of Qin State, but now it has become the office location of Zhao State General Le Yi and Censor Lin Xiangru.

Although the two people had opposite office locations and had only half a quarter of an hour to walk, these two important officials who jointly guarded Guanzhong for Zhao State were rarely able to meet.

This is not because there is any conflict between the two, but mainly because both of them are too busy.

Since the Qin regime in the south still exists, the assimilation resistance to Guanzhong is undoubtedly much greater than that of Zhongshan, Qi, Yan and other places conquered by Zhao before. Many people always feel that Qin still has the opportunity to counterattack, so they either obeyed the situation in cooperation with Zhao, or simply refused to cooperate or even had a forceful rebellion.

So in the past winter, Lin Xiangru and Le Yi were both very busy, so busy that they didn’t even have time to meet and greet.

After spring, this busyness did not end, but instead showed a trend of going up to the next level. Even the officials from Zhao State who were traveling around became extremely hurrying and rushing.

There is nothing else, spring plowing is coming.

In this era, no activity can be compared with the importance of spring plowing, and this is even more so for Guanzhong, which has just endured a catastrophe of war.

Food is the most important thing for people. As long as there is food, all problems can be solved. No matter whether the Qin or Zhao people are, the problems are as good as hunger.

With the encouragement and coordination of the Zhao government, nearly 30,000 households and a total of about 110,000 immigrants from Zhao State flocked to Guanzhong and began farming with millions of Guanzhong people.

Most of these Zhao immigrants came from Jinyang, the old base where Zhao first started, and some were criminals migrated from the prisons of governments in various parts of Zhao. They occupied the richest land in Guanzhong and will support the ruling order of Zhao in Guanzhong for a long time in the future.

The migration of a total of 110,000 people was not so easy to complete. As the general coordinator of the whole thing, Lin Xiangru has not even returned to the big mansion given by Zhao He in Xianyang City, which originally belonged to Ranghou Wei Ran, but directly asked someone to clean up a house nearby and move in temporarily.

On this day, when Lin Xiangru was still busy and wanted to have more than three heads and six arms, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Lin Qing, stop doing these things, we are in trouble."

Lin Xiangru raised his head a little unhappy and was about to ask why the other party came uninvited, but when he saw the other party's face and the particularly serious expression on his face, he knew that something was wrong.

"General, what happened?"

Le Yi sat down in front of Lin Xiangru with a cold look on his face and said, "The Qin people are back."

Lin Xiangru was stunned at first, and after several breaths, he understood what Le Yi meant: "Are you saying that the Qin army counterattacked? "

Le Yi nodded and said, "That's exactly that."

Lin Xiangru put down the pen in his hand, and his face became as serious as Le Yi: "Have you reported to the king?"

Le Yi said: "I have already sent someone to report to Handan."

Lin Xiangru frowned and said, "Guanzhong is far from Handan, is it too late?"

Le Yi's lips twitched slightly: "Of course it's too late, but as early as last winter, the king had already sent a letter to remind us to pay attention to the possible counterattack of Qin State this year."

These words undoubtedly made Lin Xiangru feel relieved, but Le Yi's next sentence made Lin Xiangru's face look less beautiful: "The king said in that letter that he was going to use troops to Wei after the beginning of this spring, so if Qin really went north to counterattack, then we could only rely on ourselves."

"Rely on yourself?" Lin Xiangru was obviously a little worried: "Can we defend it by relying on these 50,000 people?"

Lin Xiangru didn't doubt Le Yi's level of leadership, but Guanzhong was indeed too big. You should know that before Zhao State occupied Guanzhong, the entire Guanzhong had a standing army of more than 100,000 years.

Le Yi smiled and said, "It's okay, don't we still have immigrants? In addition, there are so many people in Guanzhong. From them, they will select some more loyal people and reward them with military merits. I believe they will be willing to fight for Da Zhao."

Lin Xiangru immediately understood what Le Yi meant. Of course, the most appropriate job of selecting loyal Guanzhong people to join the Zhao army was to be done by Lin Xiangru, the Guanzhong herdsman official.

Lin Xiangru thought for a while and said, "I will ask someone to start this matter immediately. How many soldiers do you need?"

Le Yi said: "The prisoners and prisoners in the immigration need all the prisoners. I will collect 15,000 for me. As for the people in Guanzhong, I also want 15,000. The number is not so accurate, but the total number is enough for 30,000."

The 30,000 plus the 50,000 Zhao troops left by Zhao He, totaling 80,000 people.

Lin Xiangru asked, "Is 80,000 enough? Maybe I can send an order to Shangjun and Wuyuan Jiuyuan Beidijun to see if they can help too."

Le Yi said: "It's OK, but these counties are far away, so it might be too late to wait until they head south. And it's not easy to handle without the king's military order."

Lin Xiangru said: "According to power in urgent matters, isn't Beidi County coordinated and commanded by you and me? First, transfer 3,000 cavalry from Beidi County, and then transfer 3,000 from Shangjun. Let's talk about other counties at that time. I will also give a note to Handan to explain it. I believe the king will not blame us."

After hearing Lin Xiangru's words, Le Yi's brows immediately stretched out and said seriously: "With Lin Qing's help, I have no worries!"

Lin Xiangru waved his hand and said, "General, don't you be so polite. The king asked you and me to guard Guanzhong just to prepare for the arrival of this day? As for food and supplies, don't you worry. I got a lot of money when I took Xianyang before and searched my house later. It's still not a big problem to support it for one or two years."

Le Yi nodded and said, "That would be even better. By the way, I will lead the army to set off these days, and then Lin Qing will be asked to worry about other matters in Guanzhong."

Lin Xiangru said, "This is natural. By the way, I don't know where the general's destination is? Is Ziwu Road?"

Le Yi laughed and suddenly asked back: "Which one does Lin Qing think the Qin people will come out this time?"

Lin Xiangru thought for a while, patted his thigh and said, "No, I just thought it was a bad idea. Ziwu Road is so steep, and the Qin people destroyed the intersection when they fled. How could they go from Ziwu Road? It should be Baoxia Road. Are you right, General?"

Le Yi said: "Dissatisfied with Lin Qing's statement that the Qin army scouts appeared in both Ziwu Road and Baoxi Road. Since our army's scouts could not penetrate this road, it was impossible to say where the Qin people came from at once."

Lin Xiangru frowned and said, "How is the general ready to deal with it?"

Le Yi smiled and said, "I'm going to tell Lin Qing that I'm going to divide the troops into two groups, guard the Baoxi Road with the main force, and station the Ziwu Road with the side troops."

Lin Xiangru was stunned at first, then smiled and said, "Missible, wonderful! In this way, no matter which path the Qin people take, they must have no choice. Wait, what about the old way? Will the Qin people seek far away and leave Yongyi after the old way?"

Le Yi nodded slowly and said, "It's not that there is no possibility, but... this is also the route of the Qin people entering the army that you don't need to worry about the least."

Lin Xiangru looked at Le Yi with some confusion: "Why did the general say so?"

Le Yi said: "Because the old Tao is very long, even if the Qin people really came out of the old Tao and occupied Yongyi, they were actually just going to the west side of Guanzhong, which had no effect on the overall situation in Guanzhong. Moreover, if Qin really came out of the old Tao..."
