Chapter 340: Grassland assists Qin Army

The whole world knows that this time, facing the Qin army's surprise attack, Zhao first mobilized 40,000 elite troops from Jinyang, led by the famous general Zhao Xin to go south to resist, and at the same time mobilized 200,000 troops into Shangdang in the Central Plains. Then, he mobilized 200,000 troops from the northern border to move south, with a total force of more than 400,000, which was half the force that was against Qi and Wei. It can be said that facing the Zhao army with such a lineup, the Qin army with less than 150,000 people had no chance at all. However, just when everyone in the world was wondering whether the Qin army could escape from Shangdang, the 200,000 elite troops from Zhao from the northern border had just arrived in Jinyang, but they only stayed for one day and hurriedly returned to the northern border.

All this came too quickly, and no one knew what was going on. Even Bai Qi, who was fighting against Zhao Xin, was confused. He was ready to fight with his own Zhao army several times, but now tell me, the elite troops in the northern border of Zhao State are not coming? What does this mean?

"What did you say? The Hu people in the Prairie suddenly assembled 300,000 troops to attack the northern border of Zhao. The defenders in the northern border of Zhao were beaten tortoise in the city and dared not emerge?" In the Changzicheng, in the Qin army camp, Bai Qi was also surprised to learn from the news that the Hu people in the Prairie suddenly went south from the mouth of the Deputy General Ying Huai. It is spring now, and it is time for the grass to grow and the warblers to fly on the grassland. The Hu people in the Prairie did not grazle and raise sheep and horses at this time, but suddenly rushed their troops south. And there were still 300,000 people. Are you crazy?

"Yes, Taiwei, this is the news from Chang'an, it's absolutely impossible to be wrong!" Ying Huai said affirmatively. In addition to Zhao State bordering the grassland, Qin State also bordering the grassland. The grassland is extremely vast. It is not difficult for Qin State to know anything, not to mention that the 300,000 Hu people's army went south, and such a big move could not be hidden from Qin State.

Moreover, among the entire Shangdang Qin army, only Ying Huai knew the reason why the Hu army advanced south. Ying Huai was the royal family of the Qin Kingdom and the deputy general of the army. In other words, Ying Huai was the person sent by the King of Qin to monitor Bai Qi.

Speaking of this sudden move to the south, the Hu army was also inseparable from Qin. Last fall, the Hu people went south and were taught a lesson by the Zhao army. They had lost their troops and lost their generals. They had long been resentful. When they learned that the elite troops in the northern border of Zhao were mobilized to move south to deal with the Qin army, the Hu people felt that this was an opportunity, but Qin was also inextricably fueled by Qin. When they knew that Zhao had been crazy about mobilizing more than 400,000 troops to Shangdang, Qin was also anxious. Zhao had mobilized more troops this time than the entire Qin State, and Bai Qi had less than 150,000 people. How could he fight?

So in a secret discussion, the Qin monarch and ministers decided to ask the Hu people to help, but in this kind of Chinese civil war, asking the Hu people to help was a very disgraceful and a taboo, so this time the action was carried out in secret, and not many people knew about it even in the Qin court.

As for how Qin State invited the Hu people, it was very simple, it was to open the way for wealth. Although the Qin State, in the process of destroying the Han State, the Qin State's granary was not obtained, which led to the crisis of shortage of food, but the property in the Han State's treasury fell into the hands of Qin State. This was the accumulation of the Han State for hundreds of years, and there were many of the most popular luxury goods by the Hu people. Therefore, in the opening of these property, the Hu people were eager to find the place they had last fall, and the two sides hit it off.

Of course, Ying Huai did not intend to tell Bai Qi about all this. After all, for Bai Qi, finding Hu people to help him with the war was an insult to him. The proud Bai Qi was absolutely unacceptable, so Bai Qi, who was kept in the dark, thought it was his time to operate.

Although Bai Qi did not know the real reason for the Hu people's southward movement, it could not hinder Bai Qi's good mood, because in this way, the Qin army had to face only 240,000 Zhao troops. As long as he defended it to the death, Bai Qi was confident that he could defend it. In other words, the Southern Shangdang was stable. Although it was defended with the help of the Hu people in the grassland, Bai Qi was a little unhappy, but defending it means defending it. The Qin State of the Southern Shangdang was relieved, and the future was promising.

Two flowers bloomed, each showing one branch. After learning that the elite northern border could not go south, Zhao Xin showed a completely different state of mind from Bai Qi, that is, disappointment. Zhao Xin knew that although his troops were better than the Qin army, without great opportunities when the Qin army was strictly guarding, it would be difficult for the Zhao army to break the defense of the Qin army. In other words, even if the Qin army defeated the Qin army, Zhao State would not want to take back the Southern Shangdang. In addition, the lost Pei County, Zhao State can be said to have a very bad New Year.

"Can the court draw troops from other places?" When the elite troops from the north could not go south, Zhao Xin's first idea was whether he could draw troops from other places. Zhao Xin was confident that as long as he came another 100,000 people, he could recapture the Southern Shangdang from the Qin army.

But the facts disappointed Zhao Xin. Dong Zhong, who was responsible for contacting Jinyang, shook his head and said, "There is no way. The soldiers and horses in the northern border must not be moved. In the Central Plains, the actions of Deng State in these days have become very tense in the Central Plains, so we can no longer mobilize troops from the Central Plains."

Although Zhao State is known as a million troops, there are too many places to defend. In addition, the rebellion of the remnants of Qi and Wei also restrains Zhao State's a lot of energy. Therefore, when the elite troops in the northern border cannot be moved, the only troops that Zhao State can mobilize are the troops of the Central Plains that are stationed in the Central Plains. However, the Central Plains is much more important than Shangdang. Facing the pressure of Deng State, Zhao State dare not draw troops of the Central Plains at all.

Hearing Dong Zhong's words, Zhao Xin shook his head in disappointment and said, "It's a pity that the Southern Shangdang no longer has it for the Great Zhao!"

Dong Zhong also shook his head. The Southern Shangdang did not take it back. The Chu State in the Central Plains, with the support of Deng State, the chances of Pei County to get it back are also very slim. Therefore, the invincible Zhao State lost one and a half counties in just a few months. Although it would not be a big deal, it was a shame for Zhao State, who has always been the eldest and second brother of me.

"Dong Zhong, write a letter to the King of the General, saying that the situation in Shangdang has stabilized. The court has sent General Li Rubing to the garrison. I believe that with Li Rubing's ability, as long as he is strictly guarded and defended, the Qin army will never have an opportunity to take advantage of!" After a long time, Zhao Xin said to Dong Zhong.

But this confused Dong Zhong. Zhao Xin wanted to give up the Southern Shangdang. Although Dong Zhong also knew that the Southern Shangdang had not had a great chance of getting it back, he gave up like this. This did not conform to Zhao Xin's character. And Li Rubing came, where was Zhao Xin going? So he asked, "What about you, General?"

Zhao Xin looked up at the north and said with a fierce look on his eyes: "I will go to the northern border to meet those Hu people for a while. If it weren't for them, the Nan Shangdang and even the Pei County generals would have the confidence to get it back, but the 600,000 was the result of them, which led to the failure of the general. If they didn't get some interest on them, how could they calm the anger in their hearts?"

Dong Zhong now understood that this time, the Hu people in the grassland completely angered the world's number one general. You should know that in the past, Zhao Xin's opponents were all famous generals in the Central Plains, and he had never gone to the northern border to deal with the Hu people. Zhao State never thought of putting Zhao Xin to the northern border, because this was a waste of talent in the minds of the king and minister of Zhao State. Zhao Xin should stay in Jinyang as the Dinghai Sword Needle of Zhao State.

But this time, the Dinghai Shenzhen of Zhao State actually offered to go to the northern border, obviously trying to vent the aggrievances he had suffered from the Qin army on the Hu people. At this moment, Dong Zhong couldn't help but observe a moment of silence for these Hu people on the grassland. Because when Zhao Xin arrived, the 300,000 Hu people army would probably not know if there were ordinary people who could go back.
