April 12th.

The war between Chu and Yan took an unexpected turn. Huan Chu led more than 2,000 Chu cavalry to defeat Zang Yan's remnants in the Hunhe area. At this time, Zang Yan was with a centurion under the Zuoxian King of the Huns. While Huan Chu defeated the remnants of Yan, he also completely wiped out the Huns who were mixed together.

The unlucky centurion of the Huns was killed, and the lucky Zang Yan escaped again. After finding the Zuoxian King of the Huns who were nomadic in the Wuhuan Mountain area, he immediately cried about his experience of being bullied by the Chu people in the southern barbarians. In order to get the Huns to send troops to attack Chu, Zang Yan also joined the plot of the Chu people humiliating the bodies of the Huns soldiers.

When he heard that his subordinates were wiped out by the Southern people who had always looked down upon and were treated humiliated, Zuoxian King Qiu Lijin was furious. He had just received Maodun's order a few days ago and was about to form an army to fight the Qin army to the death, but he didn't expect that the Qin people would not come, so the Chu people posted it first.

On the banks of the Hun River.

More than 20,000 cavalry generals from the Zuoxian King's troops of the Xiongnu were surrounded by Huan Chu and a group of Chu cavalry. The Chu army then turned to retreat and broke south with a desperate attitude of dying and dying. In the end, the entire army was wiped out in the Prince River Basin, and Huan Chu died in battle. This young general of the Chu army who was seriously injured in the war against Qin a year ago could not escape the fate of being wrapped in horses.

The news of Huan Chu's defeat reached Ji County three days later. Xiang Yu's face turned pale when he heard about the evil deeds, and a mouthful of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

Among the new five tiger generals of the Chu army, Huan Chu ranked fourth. The relationship between him and Zhou Lan and Xiang Yu was very abnormal. They were the children brought by Xiang Yu from Jiangdong and were also Xiang Yu's most confidant generals.

Xiang Yu, who had lost his beloved general and had always been arrogant, has always been aware of Li Yuan of Qin over the years. As for the Huns, in his heart, he was just a group of uncivilized barbarians. Xiang Yu, who was determined to avenge Huan Chu, led the main force of the Chu army to come forward and encountered the Huns' vanguard's southern expedition in the Hunhe area.

Encounter battle.

For both sides, there were almost no strategies and tactical use at all. The main test was the bravery of the general. At this point, Xiang Yu quickly proved himself with facts, and his personal heroic performance also made the morale of the Chu army high.

Ten victories.

During the hedging war, Xiang Yu killed three thousand men and one ten thousand men and one unknown general such as the Huns, and countless other men and chiefs.

Qiu Lijin was beaten to flee in a panic during the confrontation with the Chu army. In the victory, Xiang Yu led the Chu army to pursue the fleeing soldiers of the Huns in the Hannan River Basin, and the state of Chu was greatly boosted because of this battle.

Foreign war.

The one who always arouses the love of the people the most, Xiang Yu's reputation stopped falling and rebounded for the first time after a period of decline. Without competitors such as Liu Bang, Xiang Yu was already the only choice for the Chu people.

Qin is on the western front and Chu is on the eastern front.

The powerful Huns suddenly fell into an unfavorable situation of fighting on both sides. The successive defeats made the new Grand Chanyu suddenly irritated.

The 300,000 Xiongnu cavalry that had been concluded quickly set off from the Royal Court in Mobei and pressed towards Yan State. Compared with the Qin army that had tightly deployed the Hexi Corridor, Xiang Yu's Chu army was undoubtedly more suitable for Maodun as an appetizer before the general attack on the south.

——.

The north is in chaos.

Li Yuan, who had just solved the Huns in the Hexi Corridor, was leading his troops to withdraw from the Juyanhai area. Cao Xin, who made great contributions in this battle, was appointed as the governor of Hexi County and commanded the vast area west of Jincheng and east of Dunhuang City. As for the Yuezhi people who wanted to return to the Gaitang City area, Li Yuan adopted a cautious and limited release strategy.

The real pillar of Qin State can only be the old Qin people. As for other countries and tribes, they can be used moderately, but cannot be fully trusted.

This is the lesson brought about by the collapse of the powerful Tang Dynasty in history. Once all the Yuezhi people return, it is very likely to become a new threat to Hexi in the future. Once one day the Yuezhi people become stronger, wars brought about by different demands between nations will inevitably be avoided.

Therefore, the Yuezhi people returned to a limited extent, and at the same time, the most correct way to deal with it was to speed up the Qin people's migration to Hexi and even the Western Regions, and to encourage the old Qin people in Guanzhong to build their homes on new territory.

Chang'an.

In March, weeping willows grow slanted around Ba Bridge. When the Qin army returning to the Western Expedition arrived at the city gate, the old officials who were waiting here early in the morning burst into excited shouts.

"Da Qin, Da Qin!"

"Long live the Marquis of Wu, long live the Marquis of Wu."

"Thank you for your hard work, and thank you for your hard work." Shouts came one after another, not only their love for Qin, but also their love for Li Yuan, the helmsman of Qin, and for thousands of Qin soldiers who participated in the war to expand their territory.

Ying Yushu was also among them, who was under one year old and could only speak. Of course, in order to protect this noble national treasure of Qin, Chang'an Order Yan Ling and Yan Wei Meng Hu were on high alert early in the morning to investigate all suspicious people near Chang'an City, especially aliens from the northern grasslands.

This kind of needle-looking mad sweep is generally very poor, but this time, Yan Le accidentally caught a big fish.

A man from Yan, named Zhongxingshu, took Yan Le's sight. This man was only seventeen or eighteen years old. According to my confession, Yan State fled to Guanzhong after the destruction of Chu State. However, judging from the preliminary interrogation, Zhongxingshu said that he was not very familiar with the actual situation of Yan State. On the contrary, he knew a lot about the living habits of the nomadic tribes in the north.

Not afraid of ten thousand, just fear of what if.

After inspecting the interrogation records, Yan Le immediately handed over the Bank of China to the Tingwei Mansion. The result of waiting for him was a long prison sentence that would not be available.

"Godmother, look at it, it's Dad, Dad and the others are back." Beside Ying Yushu, Yan Niu Niu was bounced like a hot elf, constantly jumping.

Since the first meeting in Wugong County, Yan Niu Niu moved to Chang'an with her father soon. This little girl's temperament is not as unsociable as Yan Le. After her mother only brought her to date her husband for a few times, Yan Niu Niu became the pistachio of the female relatives of officials in Chang'an City. It was the existence of Yan Niu Niu that the Yan family, who was only from a farmer, gradually integrated into the Qin generals and officials' husbands.

Beside Yan Niu Niu, there were Ying Yushu, Gu Yunniang, Zhang Suniang and other female relatives. She called her godmother over, which made these women who were much older than her blush.

"Little girl, what are you talking nonsense? Be careful that my godmother digs your eyes and throws it into the oil pan and fry it." Zhang Suniang, who is so fierce, glares at Yan Niu Niu Niu.

There is no need to say much between Ying Yushu, Gu Yunniang and Li Yuan. There is nothing wrong with Yan Niu Niu Niu calling like this, but Zhang Su Niu is the wife of the Prime Minister Chen Ping, and there is no relationship with Li Yuan. By Yan Niu Niu's call, Zhang Su Niu, who has always been free, blushed.

"We, elders, wish the Marquis Wu to lead the army to victory and triumph. We specially prepared a little wine on the Ba Bridge to celebrate. We also asked Marquis Wu to drink this cup to strengthen our great Qin Dynasty." In the welcome team, a white-haired old man walked to the front with a crutch, and there were two boys holding wine cups and wine vessels in front.

It is said that when Liu Bang entered Guanzhong and made three rules, the elders welcomed him in this way. However, Liu Bang's so-called act was just a false statement that was not true. The elders' desire was like a bubble, and it was shattered with a slight touch.

"First of all, I would like to thank the soldiers who died in the battlefield for the revival of the Qin Dynasty." Li Yuan dismounted, held the wine cup in his hand, and solemnly spread it on the earth.

"Secondly, I would like to thank the elders who provided food and fodder for the Qin army to go to war." Li Yuan bowed to the onlookers and then scattered it on the ground beside him.

"For this third glass of wine, please allow me to thank my brothers who followed the battles and shared the joys and sorrows. You are the heroes of the Qin Dynasty and the cutest people." Li Yuan turned around and shouted loudly at the Qin army soldiers who were returning home. His words made the Qin army soldiers even more excited.

"Wuhou, Wuhou, invincible, invincible!" Waves of sound echoed over the Ba Bridge. This spring is a wonderful season for the people of Qin.

"Without Wuhou, there would be no Chang'an City, and there would be no present of the Qin people." This is the common voice of the Qin people.

In Chang'an.

A year of construction and follow-up has made the city increasingly show its outstanding superiority. It has built at a relatively high level, avoiding the possible disasters caused by the Wei River flood. At the same time, the water diversion project of the eight main canals provides the city with a clean and clean water source. When the gurgling stream flows through the center of the city, even the elderly who had strongly opposed it changed their words and praised Li Yuan's will.

In Jinyang.

The third new site of Bingfair was becoming increasingly large. Sima Yin personally took charge. The mining of open-pit coal mines and the continuous innovation of smelting technology made Jinyang the largest supplier of Qin army's standard weapons. In contrast, Lishan Bingfair and Jushui Bingfair switched to producing some civilian tools.

In Bashu.

The Dujiangyan Water Conservancy Project, supervised by Li Bing, the former Shu guard, was re-driven under the supervision of Wang Shang, which greatly reduced the water damage in Shu County. The area of ​​irrigated paddy fields expanded by nearly one-third compared to before, and the flat Shuzhong Plain has become increasingly the most important rear grain and fodder supply area for the Qin State.

In any place where the Qin flag is planted.

What people talk about most is the battles in which the Qin army fought outside, winning again and again, the same is true for men and women. Compared with the time when Emperor Qin was alive, the Qin State is now more free, stronger, and more a sense of belonging.
