After arriving at Longguan, Chen Xu left 3,000 men and horses and marched to Longxian again.

Although Longxian has always been occupied by Yang Qiu, in the past, the princes of Liangzhou had no conflict of interest with Yang Qiu, and they were unwilling to fight for Longxian in vain.

However, now that Yang Qiu surrendered to Chen Xu, it is difficult to guarantee that the rest of the princes will not look at the wind and take the opportunity to capture Longxian. Only by leading the army to enter Longxian completely can Chen Xu feel at ease.

An army of 80,000 hurried north, rolling up dust that obscured the sky and the sun along the way. The flags in the sky are hunting with the wind, the birds are far away along the way, and the beasts are fighting.

Since leaving Chencang, the place that has come into view is full of desolation and no one is inhabited. Even if it is close to Longxian County, Liangzhou, it is also the same.

The army went forward for dozens of miles before it saw smoke curling and a hint of popularity.

With a hint of solemnity on Yang Qiu's face, he came to Wen Zhao's side and whispered, "Lord, this area is the birthplace of the Qin people. Although the Qin State died, there were still some Qin people who returned to this place, competing with the Qiang people, and being in the company of wolves, insects, tigers and leopards, and being unruly. ”

"Although there are not many of these Qin people, they are all brave and good at fighting, and they are not afraid of death. It was in the area of Qin Pavilion, and no one else dared to provoke the Qin people. Even if the last general nominally occupied Longxian, he did not dare to make enemies with the Qin people for no reason. ”

"Fortunately, although the Qin people are fierce, they are in a semi-secluded state, as long as they don't provoke them, they generally don't want to cause trouble."

Wen Zhao's heart moved, and he asked, "Qin people? You say this is the birthplace of the Qin people? ”

For the Qin people who were able to start in the desolate land of the northwest during the Warring States Period, but swept the world, Chen Xu has always admired in his heart.

It was a brave and warlike race, and it would rather not bend, and it had been fighting against Xirong for hundreds of years in the bitter cold land of the northwest, and it still did not give an inch.

Yang Qiu nodded vigorously and said, "Qin Pavilion is the birthplace of the Qin people. ”

In the thirteenth year of King Xiao of Zhou, Feizi, the leader of the ancestral tribe of the Qin people, was named a vassal of the royal family because of his meritorious service to the royal family herding horses here, and was located in Qin Pavilion.

Since then, the Qin people have raised horses for the Zhou royal family for generations, and fought against Xirong on the border of Xu. After King Yi of Zhou, the Zhou royal family became more and more decayed, and had to rely on the Qin people to stabilize the peace in the western territory.

The Qin State, as well as the later Qin Dynasty, all originated here.

The most majestic story of the Qin Dynasty was written in the Guanzhong Plain, and the most tragic story was engraved at the foot of the Great Wall. However, the birthplace of the Qin people is on the banks of the Qingshui River.

After Qin Shi Huang unified China, he placed counties, counties, townships, and pavilions. Perhaps for the sake of tracing back to the roots, Qingshui, the birthplace of its ancestors, was first placed in Shangtai County and set up Qin Pavilion.

From Qin Feizi to Qin Zhuanggong, the Qin people have five generations of leaders, based on the Qin Pavilion area, and live a hard life.

They devoted themselves to agriculture and animal husbandry, survived and developed in the confrontation and war with Xirong, and lived in this area for more than 300 years.

The Qin state was initially not valued by other vassal states due to its remote location.

It was not until the reign of Qin Mugong that he successively destroyed the twelve countries established by the Rong people in the west, opened up more than 1,000 miles of territory, and stabilized the rear area, that he laid the foundation for being the four great powers of the Spring and Autumn Period.

Many kings of Qin also died in the war against Xirong.

However, it was the perennial war between the Qin people and the Rong people, and in this harsh environment, the Great Qin Iron Cavalry, which was brave and good at fighting and able to sweep through the six countries.

Since the Zhou Dynasty, the unruly character of Fang Xiu to death has been deeply rooted in the bones of the Qin people.

Even if the Qin Dynasty perished, even if the Qin Dynasty clan was slaughtered, even if the Qin people could only hide in the Qin Pavilion area to survive, the fierceness in their bones was still awe-inspiring.

Very rarely, Wen Zhao did not urge the army to march quickly, but instead stopped and stared at this birthplace of the Qin people.

"Dalongxi comes to Wanlingheng, where is Qin Ting looking for barren thorns? Non-sub-test herding party divides the soil, and the mountains and rivers of Longyou are all surnamed Ying. ”

Suddenly, Wen Zhao remembered a poem in his heart that he had forgotten the origin of.

The state of Qin began in the area of Qinting, then annexed Bashu, captured Guanzhong, and finally swept the six countries and dominated the world. The current Chen Xu is very similar to the original Qin State.

If he had pacified Liangzhou and seized Yizhou, the situation in the world at that time would have almost become a copy of the Warring States. Unlike the Warring States Period, Wen Zhao's power at this time was stronger than the original Qin State.

"It took several generations and hundreds of years of conquest for the Qin State to unify the world. I, Chen Xu, want to be a strong Qin who sweeps the world, but it won't take that long. ”

"In my lifetime, I must end this troubled world with my own hands!"

Looking at the vast land, Wen Zhao was full of arrogance for a while, and said secretly in his heart.

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

However, Ma Teng and Han Sui, who had abandoned the previous alliance, were immediately shocked when they heard that Yang Qiu had surrendered and led the Chinese army directly into Liangzhou.

Ma Teng immediately said: "Yang Qiu has been entrenched in Xiliang for several years and knows the situation in Liangzhou very well. Now that he has surrendered to the Guanzhong Army, Chen Wenzhao must be like a tiger with wings. ”

Han Sui was also anxious, even if he united with Ma Teng, he did not have the confidence to be able to repel the Guanzhong army. Originally, Han Sui also thought about contacting other princes in Liangzhou, as well as the Qiang tribe, to resist the Guanzhong army together.

However, Yang Qiu's sudden surrender caught Han Sui a little off guard. He was very worried that the rest of the princes would also follow the gourd and surrender to Chen Xu.

At that time, Han Sui and Ma Teng were really lonely.

Walking back and forth in the big tent, Han Sui finally said: "I can't sit still and wait for death, and watch the soldiers of Guanzhong attack." ”

"According to my plan, I will seek an opportunity to engage the Guanzhong soldiers and prevent them from occupying the city of Liangzhou; On the one hand, contact the leader of the Qiang tribe. The most important thing is to persuade Liang Xing, Zhang Heng, Ma Wan and others that they must not be allowed to surrender to Chen Wenzhao as well. ”

Ma Teng lowered his head and pondered for a long time, feeling that this statement was reasonable, and immediately agreed with Han Sui's strategy.

Ma Chao suddenly interjected: "Although the Liangzhou soldiers are brave and good at fighting, the Guanzhong soldiers are also elite soldiers in a hundred battles. Moreover, the enemy's army is large, and there are countless generals in Guanzhong, if you rashly engage with it, I am afraid it is difficult to win. ”

When Ma Teng heard this, he was stunned.

He has always felt that his son is brave and unplanned, and it is difficult to achieve great things. But I don't want to, Ma Chao, who is famous for his bravery and good fighting, will also worry that the enemy will not be able to pass the soldiers.

In fact, Ma Chao was able to make a name for himself in history, and he was by no means a reckless man who only knew how to fight. It's just that the people of Liangzhou worship the strong, and the knives and guns in their hands are always more effective than their mouths.

In this case, Ma Chao just has to go on a rampage and kill all the enemies.

However, Chen Xu is famous, and the generals in Guanzhong are also famous. Even if he is as proud as Ma Chao, he doesn't dare to say that he can compete with the generals in Guanzhong.

It is with these in mind that Ma Chao will voice his concerns. On the other hand, this also reflects Chen Xu's current prestige.

Han Sui and Ma Teng thought for a long time, and their brows were furrowed.

The Xiliang cavalry is mostly good at siege warfare. If you lead the army eastward at this time and engage the Guanzhong army, I am afraid that it is really difficult to win.

Han Sui's heart moved, and he asked: "Does Meng Qi have any clever strategies to break the enemy?" ”

Ma Chao said: "The Guanzhong army is overwhelmed, and its vigor is flourishing, so it is foolish to think that it is not possible to rashly confront it." ”

Han Sui asked again: "If we don't have troops, the soldiers in Guanzhong are marching step by step, but what should we do if we attack the city?" ”

Ma Chao replied: "If he wants the city, just give it to him." Presumably, it is impossible for Chen Wenzhao to lead troops to be stationed in Liangzhou all the time. As long as our strength is still there, it will not be too late to recapture the city when it retreats to Guanzhong. ”

Han Sui laughed twice and said to Ma Teng: "Meng Qi will also use schemes, which is really a blessing for his brother." ”

Ma Teng also stroked his beard, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Although Ma Chao's suggestion is a bit immature, the overall direction is correct. In fact, a few days ago, Han Sui had already set a strategy with Ma Teng to break the enemy: clear the field and avoid its edge.

Han Sui believes that Liangzhou is a bitter cold place, and Chen Xu will definitely not invest a lot of manpower and material resources here. Chen Xu wants to dominate the world, and Kanto is his focus.

As long as Chen Xu's army retreated, they could gather the army again to attack the city as usual.

Moreover, now that it is autumn, if the princes of Liangzhou are strong and clear, they will lead the army to fight and retreat with the Guanzhong soldiers, and retreat to the west, luring the Guanzhong army into the desert.

When winter comes, the soldiers in Guanzhong will definitely not be able to endure the cold of Liangzhou. At that time, it was not impossible for the Xiliang princes to counterattack again and break the Guanzhong army.

For now, it is necessary to delay the speed of the advance of the Guanzhong soldiers first, and buy enough time to contact the rest of the princes and the strong wall Qingye.

Han Sui said the strategy that had already been set, and Ma Chao immediately said no more.

However, he said that Yang Ding said that he had lowered Yang Qiu, so he rushed to Anding County non-stop, intending to repeat his old tricks, saying that he would descend to play with horses.

The horse play is located in the west of Anding County, and there are more than 10,000 horses under his command. What's even more commendable is that he is not a native of Liangzhou, but a native of Hedong County.

The regional views of this era are very serious, and Ma Wan can gain a foothold in the chaotic place of Liangzhou as a foreigner, which also shows that his own skills are extraordinary.

Horse play in history is also entrenched in the right Fufeng area of Sili. Chen Xu's appearance drove him to the territory of Liangzhou.

As a foreigner, although Ma Play has more than 10,000 people under his hands. But among the princes of Liangzhou, it still seems a little out of place.

On this day, after receiving the envoys sent by Ma Teng and Han Sui, he was a little hesitant to return home. He also knows the truth of cold lips and teeth, but to be the enemy of the powerful Guanzhong Army, he is somewhat bottomless in his heart.

Han Sui and Ma Teng were both heroes at that time, and Ma Chao and Yan Xing were even more brave champions. In addition, the people of Liangzhou are brave and good at fighting, even if Chen Wenzhao is powerful, there is no chance of victory. ”

"The two of them sincerely invited me to join the coalition army and resist the Guanzhong army together. If I put it off, I will be a little short-sighted. In that case, what's the point of alliing with them to fight against Chen Xu? ”

Thinking of this, Ma Wan wanted to summon Han Sui and Ma Teng's envoys to discuss the alliance.

Suddenly, someone came to report: "The general has sent a messenger to meet the lord." ”
