"There was no peace between Qin and the Six Kingdoms, nor was it a real unification, just a twelve-year truce......"

And the war that burned all over the land of the Six Kingdoms finally burned to the Qin State itself.

The vanguard pursued the army of the Six Nations a hundred miles away, and Heifu led the army to follow, and looked down all the way, and the Xihe River had long since lost the prosperity and tranquility in Sima Xin's mouth.

On both sides of the road leading to Pujin, two rows of pines and cypresses were originally planted, which were orderly and orderly, but in order to attack the cities of the West River, the armies of the six countries cut down a lot and used them to make weapons and siege equipment.

In this way, this year's Xihe may be lost......

Along the way, I passed several pavilions and villages, all of which were empty, as if they had been attacked by a group of wild beasts - the pavilion door was knocked open, the inner wall was torn down, blood stains and corpses were often seen, and where the crows circled, the relics of sin were sure to be found.

On the orders of Heifu, whenever he encountered a corpse, the gallopers wearing cloth masks were immediately ordered to move forward, and if they could be buried, they would be buried, and if they could not, they must also be burned, so as not to breed evil diseases after the war.

Although it was very devastated by the scourge, in Dali, in Linjin, and in any of the cities recovered by the Northern Expeditionary Army in Xihe, Heifu was warmly welcomed by the local survivors—the same eagerness as when he raised troops in Yunmengze and fought back to Anlu County......

"Xihe people look forward to the king for a long time!"

The three local elders who were lucky not to die were crying in front of the black carriage, and now they don't want to care that this "Wang Shi" is actually the "southern rebel" in the mouth of the government in the past year or so.

In the eyes of the locals, those who can expel the bandits of the Six Kingdoms and rescue the people of Xihe are the teachers of the king! When the troops of the six countries withdrew, and saw the Qin Banner marching into Linjin, everyone rushed to tell each other for a while, like dead wood in spring, and spontaneously organized everyone to come to the city to greet each other.

Heifu asked the three elders to help him up, untied the big coat and draped it on him, and sighed: "I only hate the traitor Zhao Gao for luring the wolf into the house, I hate the rebel Hu Hai for abandoning the people of Xihe, and I also hate that Heifu is not fast enough and is late!" ”

In the past 20 days that have been occupied by the armies of the Six Kingdoms, Xihe has really been abused, and the relics of the Six Nations have played the banner of revenge, and Xihe has borne the hatred of the people of the Six Kingdoms for ten generations of Qin.

Heifu also made a promise to the people of Xihe:

"All those who die in the fight against the bandits are given the rank of knight and honored as a loyal soldier. The West River was burned and looted by a group of thieves, and the damage was great, but all the counties where the thieves passed, this year's field rent, city tax, and forced labor are exempted, and most of the grain fields in the county are burned by the Chu people, fortunately, Guanzhong is about to harvest in autumn, and a large amount of grain will be transported in the near future to help the refugees! ”

When the people of Xihe heard this, they inevitably wept with joy, but there were also men who were spared and petitioned loudly:

"Please don't exempt the general from the Battle of the West River!"

"Please let us join the army and avenge our fathers and relatives!"

The crowd was excited, and they couldn't wait to pick up their arms to chase the thief immediately, which made Han Sheng, a staff member who came with the army, very happy, and congratulated Heifu afterwards:

"Congratulations to the prince, today I have ten safe and land!"

As everyone knows, when the Wuguan was broken, among the 100,000 people of the Northern Expeditionary Army, the Anlu people occupied a division, and there were also many Anlu children who served as military officials at all levels, this is because since more than a year ago, Anlu was broken, and the Anlu people who were forced to be cornered were all soldiers, and the old and weak were placed in the rear, and almost all the young and strong enlisted in the army, and followed Heifu from the south to the north.

Although Xihe is not big, there are ten counties and 100,000 households, and at present, these Xihe people who survived under the butcher's knife of the Six Nations are enough to become the irons of the Black Husband against the Six Nations in the future......

Historically, in the name of revenge, the area of Guanzhong was wider, and it is no wonder that Liu Bang was able to defeat again and again, and finally won the Chu-Han War, because behind it, there were millions of Qin people who hated the Chu people and were eager for revenge.

"I only wish that after the destruction of the Six Kingdoms again, there will never be war here."

Hefu never doubted that he would win the final victory, all he cared about was the cost and time spent.

And now, an opportunity to end the war early is about to be fleeting.

When the army arrived in Linjin, Luo Jia and Li Bier, who were seeking the enemy in front, also sent people to report, saying that the Six-Nation Alliance was divided into two parts, Zhao and Wei in the north, and withdrew to Xiayang, and wanted to return to Hedong by boat from Longmen Ferry, and the Chu army in the south, which is currently in Pujin, where there is a pontoon bridge......

"The Six Nations retreated, faster than I thought."

Heifu was a little distressed, for him, Xihe was undoubtedly a good place for a decisive battle, not only was he superior in numbers, he could transfer food and soldiers from Xianyang at any time, and even better, the people of Xihe would be happy to intercept the enemy and report the news for themselves.

But the other generation withdrew quickly, this is not in line with Xiang Yu's temperament that Heifu understands, is Tie Dan starting to listen to persuasion? Still is......

Something went wrong in the rear of the six countries.

Heifu remembered the forces in Liaoxi and Liaodong that the Chu envoy Wu Shi had proposed, but compared to this, it is more likely that when he entered Wuguan, he ordered Jiangdong's attack on Huainan, which worked, and the rear of the Chu people caught fire, and there was no longer the heart to fight to the death.

"So it seems that my order is too urgent?"

Heifu was helpless, but this was the case with ancient military communications, and communication thousands of miles apart was far less than the drastic changes in the situation of war.

All they can do at the moment is to reach the river quickly, and they can annihilate as much as they can!

He asked the messenger in front: "In the direction of Pujin, who is behind the enemy?" ”

The messenger replied: "The army after the break, in addition to the red phoenix banner of the Chu army, there is also the banner of the Shangzhu national item!" ”

"Xiang Ji!?"

Heifu's eyes lit up suddenly, and he immediately got up and boarded the car, pointing to the east:

"Leave the baggage, and the three armies will chase lightly!"

will be the courage of the three armies, and Xiang Yu is the courage of the six countries!

"If you can kill the family in Xihe, even if you let everyone else go, this battle will be a complete victory!"

……

Hefu is not alone in the same mind.

In late July, the cavalry troops led by Luo Jia and Li Bi, after several days of marching, had broken through the rear scouts of the Chu army, which was constantly hindering them, and arrived at the high bank of the big river next to the Pujin ferry.

In this year, the Yellow River is not as muddy as the later generations, and everyone looks at the sparkling river like a jade belt, and the pontoon bridge formed by the connection of two boats crosses over, leading directly to the east of the river......

In the Six-Nation Alliance, most of the Zhao Wei and Chu armies wanted to withdraw, but Xiang Ji wanted to fight a decisive battle in Xihe, but after getting the news that Huainan was attacked, Xiang Ji, who had always loved his family, finally listened to the advice of his middle father and his father, and could only agree to withdraw his troops for the time being.

At present, 50,000 Chu troops are slowly crossing the river through narrow pontoon bridges, the booty and baggage have passed half of Thailand, and there are few troops left on the west bank.

"One step late, or let the group of thieves run away." Li Bi saw this scene with some regret.

"But if you can bite off that tail, it's not nothing!"

His colleague Luo Jia stared at the Xiang Zi Banner, pointed over there and said, "That should be the commander of the Six Kingdoms who beheaded their boss Wang Fei in Chongquan City, Xiang Ji." ”

In the past few days, he has made many meritorious contributions, and now Yang Xi, who has returned from the front to report to the cavalry, is eager to try: "Du Lieutenant, if you can kill this person, it will be a merit to capture the flag, wouldn't it be better?" It can also be regarded as an explanation to the dead Xihe fathers. ”

Luo Jia shook his head: "On that day, General Wang Peng surrounded Chongquan and sent us to guard against the east, but Xiang Ji came from the north by detour and broke in. According to the people who came back alive, this wingman has the courage of ten thousand people, no one can be one of them, and his command is brave and brave, and he strives to go hand in hand, no less than the first horse of the county, or be careful! ”

"No matter how good the Chu people are at riding horses, can they compare to the Qin people?"

Yang Xi was a little unconvinced, he had also led the team to encounter some Chu chariot scouts before, but the group of short men who couldn't move freely on the horse were beaten to the ground by them.

Soon, everyone forgot about Luo Jia's reminder of "be careful".

Two more groups of Northern Expeditionary Army arrived here, one of them was the "light soldiers" led by Yuan Yong, and the other was the barefoot Yue pawn Shao Wu. Now there are 10,000 people in the Qin army's chariots, horses, and apprentices, but the people around Xiang Ji on the opposite side continue to go to the east coast, and there are fewer and fewer people, and there are only more than 3,000 left......

Seeing that I am strong and weak, there are more and more people who have the intention to attack.

And a piece of news brought by Yuan Yong completely ignited the fighting spirit of these 10,000 people.

"Marquis Wu Zhong has an order!"

The herald galloped in front of the forward heels gathered on the riverbank, and loudly told everyone what Heff had said:

"Those who cut the membership, buy thousands of gold, and ten thousand households!"
