Chapter 341: Famous generals arrive in northern Xinjiang

Because the Hu army of the grassland went south, forcing the elite troops in the northern border of Zhao who had originally planned to come to Shangdang to support him to the capital of Zhao, Jinyang, and then returned to the northern border to resist the Hu people. As a result, Zhao General Zhao Xin gathered his absolute superior troops to recover the Southern Shangdang's plan to go bankrupt. Zhao Xin was furious and wrote a letter to King Zhao, who used Zhao's famous general Li Rubing to guard Shangdang on his behalf, and he chose to go north to fight the Hu people.

However, as the commander of the first army, Zhao Xin had to wait until Li Rubing arrived. At the same time, after the Hu people went south to prevent the elites from the northern border of Zhao from coming and obtained the Qin killer weapon of the Star Destroyer Crossbow, Bai Qi launched several attacks on the Zhao army. However, Zhao Xin was afraid of the power of the Star Destroyer Crossbow and defended the city to the death, making the Star Destroyer Crossbow unable to be used. Bai Qi's several attacks failed to work, and the Qin and Zhao armies were once again in a stalemate.

On March 12, on March 12, the famous general of Zhao State, Li Rubing arrived in Tunliu City. After handing over with Zhao Xin, Li Rubing officially took over the Shangdang Zhao army, and Zhao Xin also set out for the northern border.

Outside Tunliu City, Li Rubing led all the generals to see Li Rubing off. Before leaving, Zhao Xin said to Li Rubing: "Rubing, you must be extremely careful when you guard Tunliu City this time. Although our army is stronger than the Qin army, Bai Qi should not be underestimated. In addition, the Qin army has a killing weapon like a star-destroying crossbow. Remember to guard the city carefully and never leave the city to fight with the Qin army. After I repel the Hu army, I will lead the elite troops in the northern border to support you."

Among the famous generals of Zhao State, in addition to Zhao Xin being the leader, the ones below are Zhang Chuan, Sima Chong, Li Rubing, and Gongsun Jue, who has been guarding Liaodong for many years. Among the five, Gongsun Jue is the oldest, over 60 years old. The ones followed is Zhao Xin, nearly 60 years old, and then Zhang Chuan and Sima Chong, both of whom are nearly 50 years old. Li Rubing is the youngest, just after his thirty years old, which is also the hope for Zhao State's future.

Young people are prone to impulsiveness, especially when facing Bai Qi, who is as young as him but is known as one of the four famous generals in the world, he will inevitably have the idea of ​​competing in his heart. What's more, Li Rubing's younger brother Li Ruhong died at the hands of the Qin army. Zhao Xin was afraid that Li Rubing would insist on fighting with the Qin army because of his temporary aura, regardless of the overall situation, so he reminded him.

"Don't worry, General, the general understands that General will definitely defend Tunliu City and wait for the general to return!" Although he really wanted to have a big fight with Bai Qi and avenge his younger brother, Li Rubing was very sober. Bai Qi, who was afraid of Zhao Xin, was definitely not a simple person. Although Zhao's army had an advantage in its military strength, if it was not careful, he might have suffered a great defeat. If it were normal, Li Rubing would be impulsive, but now it is a critical time.

Zhao Xin is nearly 60 years old and has been promoting young generals over the years paving the way for the future of Zhao State. As long as Zhao Xin decides his heir, Zhao Xin may retreat. On the surface, Zhang Chuan, Sima Chong and him are all popular. Zhang Chuan and Sima Chong are veterans who have followed Zhao Xin for many years, and he is the leader of the younger generation. Since Zhao Xin has been promoting the younger generation over the years, Li Rubing, as the leader of the younger generation, has naturally become a popular among the popular ones. However, Zhao Xin has not decided on his heir yet, and everything is possible. So at this time, Li Rubing must not make mistakes. Only when he successfully takes over the military power in Zhao Xin and has a million Zhao troops is the time when he competes with Bai Qi.

Zhao Xin was very satisfied with Li Rubing's attitude. Among the candidates, the one who satisfies him the most was that Li Rubing, who was young, capable and motivated. He performed remarkable when the battle between Yan and the Central Plains. Compared with Zhang Chuan and Sima Chong, Zhao Xin repeatedly helped Li Rubing.

Zhao Xin finally left and handed over the 200,000 Shangdang army to Li Rubing. Li Rubing, who took over the power, also adhered to Zhao Xin's strategic policy and guarded the city carefully. No matter how the Qin army provoked, he would never go to war.

On March 27, in the 21st year of Qianyuan, Daijun and Macheng, this was a city located south of the Great Wall. However, after the Hu people broke into the Great Wall, it became the frontier position for Zhao to resist the Hu people's army.

At this time, the Hu people in the grassland were divided into three tribes, one was the Huns, one was the Wuhuan, and the other was the Xianbei. Among the three tribes, the Huns were originally the strongest. Although they were defeated once by Meng Tian during the Qin Shihuang period, they later achieved unity under the command of the greatest Shanyu Maodun, the Huns, in history. They took advantage of the civil war in the Central Plains to march south many times, but the three kingdoms of Zhao Daiyan could only resist. Later, after Maodun's death, Zhao Daiyan joined forces to defeat the Huns, and the powerful Huns were divided from then on.

After the decline of the Huns, the Wuhuan, which was in the east, rose to the east. The Wuhuan and Xianbei were all descendants of the Donghu people in the pre-Qin period. In the pre-Qin period, Qin Kai, the general of Yan State, expelled Donghu and expanded the territory for thousands of miles. The Donghu never recovered from then on and later split into Wuhuan and Xianbei. Just twenty years ago, taking advantage of the breakup between Zhao Yan, who had worked closely to resist the Hu people, the Wuhuan successfully conquered the Xianbei and the disarray of Xiongnu, and established a Wuhuan Empire on the grassland that was comparable to the Maodun Hun Empire, and since then became a major concern of Zhao.

But a few years ago, this powerful Wuhuan Empire was divided into two parts under the perseverance of Zhao's rebellion. It was only after the Wuhuan that Zhao was able to go south to the Central Plains to destroy Qi and Wei.

After successfully defeating the Wuhuan to the division, Zhao State re-emphasized its focus into the Central Plains' hegemony. For several years, although the Wuhuan occasionally violated the border, it could not become a climate. However, this time, the Wuhuan and the East and West united, and the army of 300,000 troops went south, which really made Zhao Xin unable to understand. You must know that when the Wuhuan split, the two groups were fighting hard. What was the reason that allowed them to let go of their past hatred and gather together again?

"Do you know why the Wuhuan people suddenly went south this time?" At the head of Macheng City, Zhao Xin looked at the Wuhuan army under the city and asked Sima Chong, the general of Zhao State beside him. Sima Chong was the general guarding the northern border of Zhao State.

Sima Chong replied: "They came under the banner of revenge, saying that they were to avenge last autumn. However, in detail, before the Wuhuan army headed south, a Qin caravan entered and left the Wuhuan royal court. After the Qin caravan left the Wuhuan, the east and west divisions of the Wuhuan went south in the Danhan Mountain Alliance."

"In other words, this time the Wuhuan army went south was the Qin State's work?" After the Qin State's caravan left, the Wuhuan army went south. This matter had nothing to do with Qin State, and he didn't believe it even if he killed Zhao Xin.

"It should be, but we have no evidence!" Sima Chong nodded and said, "If there is no evidence, you cannot say anything randomly, otherwise you will be allowed to turn the tables on Qin. So Sima Chong just said these words to Zhao Xin alone."

Although there is no evidence to prove that the Wuhuan went south and Qin was related to Qin, Zhao Xin determined that this matter was inseparable from Qin. Otherwise, how could the Wuhuan not go south early or south later, but went south when the battle between Shangdang in Qin and Zhao was about to be revealed? Moreover, Zhao also saw the Qin caravan entering and leaving the Wuhuan royal court after careful study.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xin laughed jokingly: "The Qin people are becoming less and less promising. I remember how powerful it was for their Qin ancestors to conquer Rongdi and defeat the Huns. I didn't expect that today, the Qin people fell to cooperate with the Hu people. It doesn't matter if there is no evidence. When the general defeated the Wuhuan people, he would ask them for an explanation."

The history of the pre-Qin and Qin Kingdom's fortune can be said to be well-known. The Qin people came from the Rong Di family, but now the Qin Kingdom took the initiative to cooperate with the Wuhuan in order to deal with Zhao, which made Zhao Xin look down on him.
