King Wu returns!

King Wu was not seriously ill, but went to the Tianshui River Valley, the birthplace of Qin's ancestors, to worship the kings and sages who established Qin's kings and sages.

Although this official statement is not very believed by some wise and intelligent people, it is the most acceptable for most Qin people.

These days, the brutality of the Huns in Hetao made bloody Qin people angry, causing the Xinqin people who had just joined the Qin State to be angry. As the rule of the Xinqin people became increasingly stable, the Xinqin people's sense of belonging to the Qin State was increasing day by day, and more and more Kanto people believed that the Seven Civil War was a battle between brothers; the war with the Huns was a battle between two nations.

For blood, for tooth.

The blood will not flow dry, and the battle will not stop until death.

He drove the Huns out, and then the Qin army marched straight into the north of the desert, swept the Xiongnu royal court, and completely solved the scabies that had plagued the Central Plains people for many years.

October 1st.

Li Yuan swore a oath in Chang'an, and elite troops from all over the Qin State gathered in one place. In order to deal with the massive invasion of the Huns, the central court of Qin not only ordered the troops on the border to move closer to areas where the war was fierce, but also recruited soldiers from various places in the hinterland of Qin, except Jiangdong, and joined the expedition army.

In terms of generals, Wang Shang and Zhong Limei became Li Yuan's left-hand men, and in terms of strategists, Li Zuoche and Lou Jing were recruited by Li Yuan. Cao Xin, the one-eyed brave general who had always been eager to go on the battlefield to kill the enemy, was appointed as the vanguard general. This order also made Cao Xin excited for several days.

In addition to Cao Xin, a large number of young Qin generals and schoolmen also joined the sequence of the expedition. Many of the people here were the young men who retreated from various places in Guanzhong with Li Yuan to Yongqi. Among these young people, the most outstanding one is Gan Yong, the Qin general who is now the only one in Hexi.

Gan Yong's frequent use made young people like him feel happy. They remembered the glory of the Montessori army in the past, and they longed to resist foreign enemies, fight against enemy enemies, and become heroes who defend their country like their ancestors.

The army advances north!

The journey was welcomed by the soldiers and civilians in various cities in Guanzhong and Jiuyuan County. Wherever Li Yuan's flag went, the people of the Qin Dynasty were cheering and thunderous. The morale of 50,000 generals and soldiers was high, and they vowed to fight the Huns to the end.

——.

Good news always follows!

Just as the Qin army set out to fight, the war reports from the Western Regions were reported by the fast horse and flying cavalry. In the far west of the Western Regions, the Qin cavalry and the Wusun armies who were pursuing the Great Yuezhi all the way together, and finally fled everywhere on the northern foot of the Altai Mountains, and then the desperate King of the Great Yuezhi encircled and annihilated.

In despair, the King of the Great Yuezhi surrendered to the Qin and Wusun coalition forces. As a result, the King of the Wusun Liejiaomi was killed by the head of the king of Wusun. After struggling to move westward again and again to survive, the Great Yuezhi finally disappeared from the long river of history.

Wusun and Yuezhi.

The two sides have been entangled for more than three hundred years. From the two tribes attacking each other at the foot of the Qilian Mountains in the Hexi Corridor, and then to the Wusun moving westward into the Tianshan area, the Dayuezhi followed and drove the Wusun people to the Yili River Valley. The process in between is just dry words, while the real process is accompanied by the blood and tears of the Wusun people.

Faced with the enemy who took away his home, the Dayuezhi people knelt down humiliatedly to the Huns and willingly became the helper of the Huns to march into the Western Regions. The Wusun people chose to unite with Qin and rose up to resist the enemy of the Dayuezhi. In this regard, the Wusun King Liejiaomi's knowledge was obviously much better than the Dayuezhi King. This is also the reason why he would leave his name in history, and the Dayuezhi was not even able to find out who the leader was except for the name of a tribe.

The territory of the Great Yuezhi in the Western Regions was then divided by Wusun and various countries in the Western Regions. Qin only stationed more than 1,500 infantrymen in Gushi City to show their existence. Qin general Ji Xin became the leader of this small army, and at the same time, he naturally became the actual ruler of Gushi City.

The existence of the Gushi Qin army also informs that the Qin army will make a comeback at any time when the troops living in the Western Regions. If they want to occupy the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains for a long time, they must regard the Qin State as a reliance.

One city is one country.

This is the current situation where there are many small countries in the Western Regions. Ji Xin accidentally became the king of the small country when Tang Monk went to the West to obtain the scriptures in Journey to the West.

Of course, such a king is not what Ji Xin wants.

Not only him, but even Li Zhongxiang, who was already the commander of the Western Regions coalition, was dissatisfied with having to lead a miscellaneous army in his military information report to Li Yuan.

After receiving the news of the fall of the Great Yuezhi, the ambitious and thoughtful Western city-states, such as Loulan and Shule, were overjoyed. They sent envoys to contact Li Zhongxiang, an acquaintance, to extend their tentacles north of the Tianshan Mountains before other countries.

South of the Tianshan Mountains, mainly desert oasis, the population and size of the oasis are restricted. On the grasslands in the north, the sky is high and the sea is wide and the grass is plump, which can just provide the material conditions required for population growth.

After the war in the Western Regions ended, the Qin cavalry that fought against foreign countries began to return, and the next guard mission in the Western Regions was handed over to the coalition forces of various countries led by Li Zhongxiang.

The return of Luo Jia's cavalry brought great good news to the Ganyong troops of the Qin army fighting in Hexi. In the past month, Hu Yanxi has been slow to get into the Dunhuang pocket, and the Qin army suffered from the disadvantages of using infantry to deal with the Huns' cavalry, and the battle situation in Hexi fell into a long-term confrontation.

Now that Luo Jia is a quick response force, the Qin army in Hexi finally has the confidence to compete with the Huns.

The situation on the western front of the Great Qin Dynasty gradually improved with the return of Luo Jia cavalry.

Although Hu Yanxie was so treacherous, he had been robbing the land of Qin for a long time, after all, it was not as convenient as his own grassland. More importantly, the cities of Qin in the Hexi Corridor were like fortresses embedded in chains, like the Huns could see it but could not eat it.

Attacking targets like the remnants of the Aries cannot solve the huge supply of the raft. The Huns went south not just to give horses a bite of forage, but to rob Qin's food, wealth, and population, and to make reserves in all aspects to survive the coming winter.

If the looted things only satisfy the usual consumption, even if the Huns win again, they will still fail in the end.

The situation in the Yanbei area on the eastern front is not much different from that in Hexi. Han Xin's Yanbei army has taken initial formation after a year of training. These young and strong people from Qi have gradually become soldiers after a winter test.

The left wise king of the Xiongnu, Qiu Lijin, was taught by the Qin army, and so he was not active at first when he was ordered to attack Qin. In the end, under the pressure of the Xiongnu envoy, he had to raise all his troops. However, Qiu Lijin still retained his skills in choosing the target of attack.

Instead of continuing the route from the last battle in Yanbei, he first marched westward, and then besieged the important city of Mayi at the junction of the Qin Border Army Group and the Yan Dai Legion.

Mayi.

Located at the junction of Yunzhong County and Dai County, it has always been a must-fight for military strategists.

In the 34th year of Emperor Qin's reign, Meng Tian, ​​the Qin general, expelled the Huns from the north outside Yanmen Pass, besieged the city and raised horses, creating the name of Mayi. It started from Yanmen Pass in the south and ended at the north to the Killing Hukou. This "Mayi Ancient Road" extends south and north, forming a major communication artery that connects the Central Plains, the desert to Central Asia and Europe.

Once the Huns captured Mayi, they could lead their troops to enter the heartland of the Central Plains, sweep the ancient Zhao land eastward, and encircle the Qin army in Yan land. To the west, they could occupy Hedong County and threaten the Qin State's largest military formation in Jinyang.

Mayi is in urgent need.

The Qin generals guarding this city were no one else, but Su Jiao, a powerful Qin general stationed in Yunzhong County and Hedong County after leaving the border army group.

The general in the border army is nearly fifty years old, with a rosy complexion and a straight body. Every time Li Yuan goes north and passes Hedong, he will sit at Sujiao County Mansion.

For nothing else, it is to talk about the old days with this military general. As we grow older, generations of young generals have risen. Generals like Su Jiao are the mainstay of the Qin army. Li Yuan hopes that Su Jiao can play a role in connecting the past and the future, not only set an example for young people to be a professional army, but also injecting traditional military spirit into the new Qin army.

What is the soul of the Qin army?

That is the indomitable spirit of "The old Qin will revive my rivers and mountains, and my blood will not flow, and I will never stop fighting-!" This unyielding spirit is the soul of the Qin soldiers who are bravely moving forward and fighting bravely.

Qiu Lijin attacked Mayi.

Faced with the Qin general Su Jiao who had a rich experience in the battlefield, Qiu Lijin hit a head and was bleeding. Many of the Huns died in Mayi City, but they could not lead Su Jiao army out of the city to fight.

Impulse does not mean courage.

After experiencing the lesson of Julu being defeated by the overlord Xiang Yu and almost losing his life to this battle, Su Jiao's eyes no longer had a sense of arrogance. More importantly, Li Yuan's appearance made him feel his own gap and shortcomings while shocking again and again.

October 3.

Received the order of Li Yuan to counterattack, Han Xin, a general of the Qin army in northern Yan, led his troops out of Yuyang and Xiangping, braved the wind and snow in late autumn to march towards the old nest of the Qiuli tribe of the Xiongnu. On the other hand, he ordered his deputy general Yang Wengzi to lead an army to support Mayi. After being passively beaten for more than half a year, the Qin State finally sounded the horn of the counterattack.

At the same time, in the Hetao area, the border troops continued to rely on several strong cities such as Jiuyuan and Yongquan to hold back the steps of the Huns. Maodun's royal court moved to Gaoque City, and ordered all troops to gather together to defeat the remaining Qin army in the Hetao area.

On October 5, Yongquan City fell.

The Qin army and civilians guarding the city were about 2,000. The last one died in battle when the ammunition and food were exhausted. After the Huns caught the city, they set fire to the city to vent their personal anger.

The beacons soaring into the sky rose up on the Hetao Plain. Standing outside the city tower of Jiuyuan City fifty miles away, you can see clearly.

The general of the border army, Wang Li, held the battlements with his hands, and looked at the place where the beacon smoke rose, and was speechless for a long time.
