After defeating An Lushan, Zhang Hua continued to patiently go down and farm in the northern and eastern parts of the Guanzhong Plain, Heluo area, and held imperial examinations at the same time, planning Zhengguo Canal to prepare for the long-term battle for hegemony.

These matters will not be effective in the short term, but in the long term, it is crucial, one is related to talents and the other is related to food and grass.

Talent and food are the most important resources needed for long-term hegemony.

After almost two years, the Guanzhong Plain was unable to be unified. Zhang Hua could have foreseeed the long road and might even reappear in the Warring States Period. No one could do anything to anyone, and finally confronted each other for hundreds of years.

Only by reforming and striving for strength like Qin can we have the last laugh.

Therefore, Zhang Hua made plans for the future in advance.

If a person has no future intentions, he will have immediate worries.

"Mulan, you summon the Iron Eagle Scout. In addition, summon Deng Ai's Changshui Camp."

After Guo Shoujing left, Zhang Hua asked Mulan to summon troops.

Mulan asked in confusion: "Where are you going to attack?"

What Mulan didn't understand was that if she wanted to attack Emperor Xuanzong of Tang or Duke Xiao of Qin, relying solely on the Iron Eagle Scout and Changshui Camp, this little cavalry would not be enough.

These light cavalry are very laborious even to attack an ordinary town.

After all, war horses cannot cross the city wall.

Zhang Hua said mysteriously: "This time it was not to attack any force, but to go and grab the bride."

In Chang'an Town, Xue Rengui led a team of cavalry to guard dozens of large carriages and headed to Qin Xiaogong's territory.

"The important task of escorting the princess to Xianyang Town is to you General Xue."

Prime Minister Yao Chong personally bid farewell to Xue Rengui and his group.

Xue Rengui nodded: "I will safely send His Highness the Princess to Xianyang Town."

Yao Chong bowed again: "I'm working hard."

Xue Rengui led a thousand cavalry to escort the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty to Xianyang.

The road between Chang'an Town and Xianyang Town is within the sphere of influence of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Duke Xiao of Qin. Therefore, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang sent fierce general Xue Rengui and a thousand elite cavalry to escort his daughter to marry, and believed that everything was foolproof.

The eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain, and finally glanced at Chang'an Town, and sighed a long sigh.

The royal princess may not be as happy as everyone imagines. Not only are there many rules, but political marriages are common.

Even in the Tang Dynasty in history, princesses usually marry the son of a minister.

At this time, marriage with Fusu, the son of the Qin Dynasty, was much better than that of the son of an ordinary minister.

It is said that the young master Fusu has always been a wise reputation, and he is a royal family of Qin and looks handsome.

Thinking of this, the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty felt much better.

For ancient women, everything depends on their lives.

"well."

The eldest princess gently lowered the curtains, and did not dare to disobey her father's intentions.

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang stood on the shelf of Chang'an Town and looked down at the convoy of carriages slowly leaving Chang'an Town.

This time, he married Fu Su, the son of Qin Xiaogong's power. The Tang Dynasty formed an alliance with the Qin Dynasty and had 200,000 troops, which was enough to compete with the Xia army.

Moreover, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang had other plans.

"The general Meng Tian is really loyal to Qin Xiaogong, but Qin Shihuang or Prince Fusu. If Prince Fusu becomes the son-in-law of our Tang Dynasty, then he may be able to subdue Meng Tian in the future and use it for me. Not only Meng Tian, ​​but also under Meng Tian's command, Wang Li, Su Jiao, Shejian and other generals."

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang considered it more long-term.

In the future, defeating Qin Xiaogong and recruiting Prince Fusu as his father-in-law and the generals around Prince Fusu are another intention of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.

Xue Rengui's convoy of Princess guarding Princess set out from Chang'an Town to the junction between the forces of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and the forces of Xiaogong of Qin.

Qin Xiaogong also gave enough face to the figure of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, and sent general Meng Tian to lead two thousand troops to welcome the carriage of the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty.

Meng Tian and Xue Rengui handed over the convoy. Both sides looked at each other and saw each other for the first time. They could detect the other's powerful momentum and strong force.

Meng Tian had fought with the Wagang Village flying general Shan Xiongxin before, and was not inferior. He was also a hidden general who could pose a threat to Xue Rengui.

In Meng Tian's eyes, Xue Rengui's momentum was even more terrifying because Xue Rengui's force was still above Meng Tian.

Maybe Meng Tian’s military combat ability will be stronger, but his military power is not as good as that.

Fortunately, the two sides are now in a political marriage alliance, similar to the alliance formed by Sun Quan and Liu Bei.

Otherwise, Xue Rengui would become an enemy that made Meng Tian feel tricky.

A powerful general with superb military power can really take the head of an enemy general among the troops.

"The next mission of protecting the princess is to me Meng Tian."

Meng Tian ordered the soldiers under his command to take the car and head towards Xianyang Town in an orderly manner.

Among the three thousand Qin troops, there are five hundred golden fire cavalry.

These are Meng Tian’s direct cavalry.

Qin Xiaogong and Meng Tian both gave Emperor Xuanzong face.

Meng Tian believed that if the loyal prince Fusu could marry the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, it would be of great benefit to the annexation of the Tang Dynasty in the future.

The princess of the Tang Dynasty royal family and the favorite eldest princess of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, was worthy of the identity of Prince Fusu.

After Xue Rengui handed over the princess's carriage convoy to Meng Tian on the border, he went home.

He has successfully completed his mission and can go back to work with Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Yao Chong.

However, Xue Rengui always felt that things were not going so smoothly.

"This is the sphere of influence of Duke Xiao of Qin, right? What does Prince Fusu look like?"

The eldest princess lifted the curtain again and looked at the scenery outside the carriage. She found that the soldiers escorted her had changed from Tang army in bright light armor to Qin army in black armor.

"Stop the march! Form the formation!"

Suddenly, the main general Meng Tian shouted loudly, and the three thousand Qin troops immediately stopped moving. Under Meng Tian's command, they quickly formed a square formation with the convoy as the center, with the spearmen pointing directly to the periphery, and the inner circle was Qin army crossbowmen.

"What's wrong?"

The eldest princess was confused.

The sound of eagle sluts came from the air. The eldest princess subconsciously looked into the air and saw several war eagles flying above the convoy. The sound of eagle sluts just now should have come from these eagles.

However, the Qin army in the escort convoy would not stop easily because of a few eagles.

Meng Tian stared at the war eagle hovering over the convoy with a serious face, and called a Qin army captain: "You lead a small team of cavalry and go to nearby villages and towns to ask for help."

"yes!"

The Qin army commander selected ten cavalrymen, left the carriage convoy, and asked for help from the defenders within the sphere of influence of Qin Xiaogong.

The appearance of war eagles over the carriage convoy often means that Zhang Hua's cavalry will appear nearby.

Meng Tian has experienced many battles and knows Zhang Hua's methods well.

However, this place is already considered an area within the Qin Xiaogong's power, so how dare Zhang Hua actually enter the territory of Qin Xiaogong?

"Soldiers are the devil, and it is precisely this that it is so unpredictable."

Meng Tian looked solemn.

“That’s…”

The eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty sat in the carriage. At the end of her sight, she could see a black line appearing from the horizon and approaching the carriage convoy quickly.

The three thousand Qin troops were ready to fight, and they were tense, and it might be a fierce battle.

The eldest princess couldn't imagine that someone would dare to attack the bride-welcoming army formed by the three thousand Qin troops.

"Is it a bandit?"

The eldest princess also knew that this was a chaotic time and that bandits were active everywhere.

However, this group of "bandits" was too large, and a large number of light cavalry appeared, like a pack of wolves attacking.

After approaching the carriage convoy, these light cavalry actually drew their bows and shot arrows, and dense rain of arrows shot towards the convoy and the Qin army!

"ah!"

When did the dowry palace maids have seen such a scene where arrows covered the sky, and they were all scared to the point of pale faces, and even the palace maids screamed.

"ah!"

The usually steady and dignified Princess Datang also exclaimed, because an arrow shot through the wooden board of the carriage and appeared in front of her and almost shot her to kill her.

The light cavalry that attacked completely ignored the life of the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty!

All three thousand Qin troops have experienced many battles, and faced with such a scene, they will not be shaken by this.

Qin crossbow shot, and many of the light cavalry attacked were shot and fell from the horse's back, and were trampled by the subsequent war horses!

"Golden Fire Cavalry, follow me to drive out the enemy soldiers!"

Meng Tian knew that this was a cavalry sent by Zhang Hua to destroy the alliance between the Tang Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty. If the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty was really killed by this cavalry, then the alliance between the two major forces would have cracks.
