Chang'an City.

The recruitment office was full day and night, and the prince Fu Hong, who was in charge in person, had not closed his eyes for three days and three nights, but except for the black circle and the occasional fatigue, Fu Hong had always shown high morale and high mood.

He had no reason to be upset.

In just three days, 40,000 people have joined the army in Chang'an City, including young people who have just grown up, veterans who have been retired for many years, and many more, brothers are in battle, father and son join the army, the atmosphere is not warm, and the scene is not touching.

In fact, if it weren't for Fu Hong's feeling that so many fathers and sons, brothers and even grandchildren were in the army at the same time, it would be too detrimental to their families, so he wrote to Fu Jian, asking each family not to send all young and middle-aged men, and this time the conscription of 60,000 people was not a problem at all.

Moreover, the key is that this is a conscription, and there is no additional treatment, and La Zhuangding is completely different, the people of Chang'an City, showing amazing loyalty to Fu Jian, they have expressed their willingness to stand up, defend the country, in order to protect the property of the homeland and women, and fight the Xianbei people to the end.

Many of these people are Han Chinese, which is what Fu Hong is most moved and excited about.

As we all know, even just 30 years ago, Huan Wen's army also hit dozens of miles near Chang'an, and the fathers and elders at that time were eating pot pulp to welcome the king, and it can be said that they were full of yearning for the partial Jin Kingdom, but just 30 years later, the people of Guanzhong are now clear banners and firm support for Fu Jian.

This is also a thing that there is no way to do, the people are realistic, objectively speaking, Fu Jian is an excellent monarch, and he is also very lenient to the people, the people here, especially many old people, have experienced the Western Jin Dynasty, and they have the most right to speak.

They were very sad to find that under Fu Jian's rule, they seemed to be living better than they were then, and 30 years ago, Huan Wen had the opportunity to recover Guanzhong, but he didn't do it because of himself, which shows that he regarded his power and interests as more important than the people.

You don't treat the people as your own people, of course the people will not be loyal to you, since you have given up on us, we no longer have illusions about you, not to mention, what is the difference between Fu Jian and others today who speak Chinese and write Chinese characters and Han people, many people have long regarded the Qin Empire as orthodox.

The older generation may be very painful and entangled in their hearts, if they are allowed to pick up arms and fight against the Jin army, they may still be under a lot of pressure, and they will not know what to do, but this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recruited troops in order to defeat the Xianbei people, which is enough for them to unite as one.

Xianbei people, that is also the blood feud of the Han people!

Therefore, as soon as the conscription order was issued, Chang'an City and the surrounding prefectures and counties immediately mobilized urgently, and the results of just a few days greatly increased Fu Hong's confidence, and at this moment, Fu Hong really believed that he could turn the tide.

The 40,000 troops were reorganized into the Yulin Army, commanded by Fu Hong himself, time was pressing, in the barracks in the city, Fu Hong quickly began to train them intensively, he only had three days, and after three days, this temporarily recruited army, with Fu Jian's 20,000 people squeezed out of the city with all his might, will form a mixed army, which will go to the front.

Because the situation at the front is already tense.

Ten days ago, after repeated bloody battles, Huan Chong personally went into battle to charge, and finally took all the areas around Shangyong New Town, the Hanshui Baihe River was opened, and the heavens seemed to be working against the Qin Empire.

It rains but doesn't snow in winter, which is already very weird, and the torrential rain has been raining for several days, so that both sides have to go back to the camp for temporary shelter.

At that time, when the crown prince Fu Hong found out, he immediately suggested that Fu Jian quickly transfer troops to reinforce the Western Front, and Fu Jian was also a smart man, so he did not hesitate to send the general Li Xing to lead an army of 30,000 reinforcements.

However, it was still too late.

The mystery lies in the fact that no matter winter or summer, as long as it rains heavily, the water will definitely rise, and taking advantage of the truce in the past few days, Huan Chong quickly mobilized the elite Jingzhou naval army to go up the river, and took advantage of the rising water to directly come to the upper reaches of the Han River, and the time happened to be when Li Xing led the army to cross halfway.

At this moment, Li Xingke fell into bad luck, the small pontoon, how to block the impact of the naval warship, Huan Xuan, who personally went into battle, was unstoppable, and divided the Qin army into two sections along the Han River, and at this time, Huan Chong also led the army to arrive, specializing in the army of Henan, but the army in the north could not cross the river for reinforcements, so they could only watch, under the attack from both sides, the army that crossed the river in advance was not an opponent at all, including Li Xing, the whole army was annihilated.

And the army in the north was not good, under the heavy rain, the road was muddy, and they couldn't run, and Huan Chong personally led the army to cover all the way. Although it can't wipe them out, it's enough to make them suffer heavy losses.

Under the first battle, Fu Jian's almost only mobile forces were completely defeated, Huan Chong's forward approached Lantian, and Guanzhong was shaken, which is also the reason why Fu Hong had to recruit troops in person, if he didn't react quickly, I am afraid that Huan Chong would come to Chang'an, and the matter would be irreparable.

Now, Li Xing's 22-year-old son Li Yuan led 12,000 people to defend Lantian, but it is estimated that he can only defend for three or four days at most, because there is too much disparity in strength, once Lantian is lost, Murong Hong, who is operating near Tongguan, will be mixed again, and the Qin Empire will be finished.

After this battle, Huan Chong's prestige is in full swing, almost comparable to Xie An, who won the battle of Weishui, which naturally goes without saying, but Huan Wen's heir and son Huan Xuan, this battle has played a momentum, played a majestic style, tens of thousands of people saw with their own eyes, he held a spear, first commanded the naval army to kill the enemy, and then rushed ashore to chase and kill the enemy, kill people when they see them, no one can be responsible, and then they were plotted by the enemy, and the arrows in the body did not flinch, but more fierce, the bloodied young white-robed general, after this war, is destined to move the world.

As far as the Qin Empire is concerned, the situation has reached the most dangerous time, the enemy army has already arrived in front of him, and he must find a way immediately, but it is precisely because of this that the people of Guanzhong have aroused a sense of crisis and joined the army one after another.

In fact, this Northern Expedition, if the Western Route Army is not Huan Chong Huan Xuan, but someone else, even if the Han people here do not eat pot pulp, but most of them will be cold bystanders, after all, they are still Han people, but the Huan family, that has a grudge against them, the matter of Huan Wen back then, everyone in Guanzhong knows, the former prime minister Wang Meng went to defect, Huan Wen actually has no eyes, such a person's brother and son come, then beat them back.

At this time, Fu Jian, who was sitting in the palace, was chatting with his favorite concubine Zhang, who was silently combing Fu Jian's hair, but found that the king's original black hair was now all gray and white, and his nose was sour, and he almost cried.

Fu Jian felt Zhang's hand stop, and couldn't help but open his eyes, but saw in the mirror that Zhang's head was turned away, his shoulders trembled slightly, and he couldn't help laughing: "Aifei, what's wrong?" ”

"Your Majesty, concubine...... The concubine is fine! Zhang controlled his emotions very well and began to comb his hair casually.

"Hehehe!" Fu Jian smiled, the tears on Zhang's face were still there? How can this be hidden from himself, Fu Jian smiled: "What, what are you still worried about?" ”

Zhang sighed and said: "Your Majesty, the affairs of the court, the concubine is a woman, and she doesn't understand, the concubine just sees that His Majesty is now born, and she feels a little sad:"

Fu Jian and Zhang's relationship is very good, just like an ordinary couple, so they have no scruples about talking, otherwise if the people next to them talk about the monarch like this, it will be a big disrespectful crime.

Fu Jian smiled and said, "What's this?" I'm only forty-five years old, and I was a little anxious before, and my hair turned gray when it turned white, why, you still want me to dye it back! ”

Zhang bit his round lower lip, nodded slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, it's better to dye it back than to look gray......"

"You're old!"

"Don't dare, concubines don't dare!" Zhang's was shocked, Fu Jian's words were very powerful, if he got serious, it was possible for him to fall out of favor and be beaten into the cold palace or even given death, how could the concubine dislike the monarch?

"Hehehehehe, look at your scare!" Fu Jian smiled: "I'm just joking with you, my relationship with you has gone through the test of time, I believe in you!" ”

"Your Majesty~~~" Zhang was so moved that he almost cried again, but his eyes were already red.

People often say that the emperor's family is the most ruthless, and the deep palace is the most dirty, but at least in Zhang's view, Fu Jian treats her sincerely, and she also pours out her heart and liver to Fu Jian, the depth of the relationship between the two is really indescribable, but after all, the emperor is in a high position and cannot easily reveal his feelings, so as not to be penetrated by the courtiers.

But Fu Jian's true feelings were revealed, but he really couldn't be true, who spoke, Zhang's family was no longer young, Fu Jian, as the king of heaven, could find countless young and beautiful girls at any time, but he didn't, he always kept his heart to himself, and there were a few people in the emperor's family who had such feelings.

This situation can be circulated, and it will never change for thousands of years, even in history, Fu Jian and Zhang's family will eventually live and die together.

"Okay, okay, look at you, crying again, hey!"

"Your Majesty...... Concubines...... The concubine is happy! Zhang's tears burst into laughter, and for a while, the white flowers lost color.

Fu Jian was stunned. Although he has seen this face countless times, but now he still can't get tired of seeing it, and he won't get tired of it in this life, he thought about it and said: "I won't dye my gray hair, anyway, I know, you won't dislike it, and besides, dyeing hair is self-deception, since I'm not old, what are I afraid of?" And my face is not old, it doesn't matter, the key is that my heart is not old, my heart is still very young, my body is still very healthy, my sons and generals are very loyal, I have self-confidence, I am sure to repel the enemy army, suppress the rebellion, I can live for at least thirty years, and it only takes ten years, after the country recovers, I can also lead the army south again, in the water, in the water, I want to take back everything I lost! ”

When Fu Jian spoke, his expression was majestic and heroic, and Zhang couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that his husband was still so enterprising.
