Although it was late at night, the palace of King Qin was still brightly lit, Qin Wangzheng was sitting upright in the study, and opposite him, sitting was Meng Wu, the general of Qin State, but both of them had embarrassed smiles.

It turned out that because of the recruitment of Qin Wangzheng, Mengwu father and son listened to the official edict of Qin Wangzheng in the main hall and the decision that Qin would immediately send troops to destroy Yan State, so they returned to the mansion nearly an hour later than the plateau.

When their father and son returned to the house, the sky had already darkened, but as soon as they entered the house, before they could sit down, Meng Qi took a bamboo slip and hurried to see Meng Wu.

The letter to the effect that he had stayed in the Qin State for too long, and if he stayed any longer, he was afraid that it would be against the orders of the teacher, and he was now just a common man, and he did not want to send it to Qin Wangzheng personally, so he decided to leave Xianyang overnight, and Qin Wangzheng entrusted Mengwu to take care of his own food and food, and rewarded him with Qianyi gold, which was stored in the Meng family, and if he returned to Xianyang in the future, he would take it again. And Tomeng Wudai conveyed his apologies to Qin Wangzheng and asked Qin Wangzheng to forgive him for not saying goodbye.

After reading the letter, Meng Wu did not dare to slack off, and immediately rushed back to the palace overnight and reported the matter to Qin Wangzheng.

After hearing this, Qin Wangzheng was also surprised, sighed softly, and said: "The widow originally wanted to give more courtesy to Mr. Xia, so that after Mr. Xia's travels are over, he will return to Qin to assist the widow and complete the great cause of pacifying the world. ”

Meng Wu hurriedly said: "In fact, the king is also a good intention, thirsty for talent, I think Mr. Xia must also be able to understand the king's love for materials, so he will ask the minister to convey his apologies to the king, but Mr. Xia does not like red tape by nature, and he does not want to have King Lao to send him, so he does not say goodbye, and the king does not have to blame himself too much, and Yichen wants to come, and after Mr. Xia's travels are over, he will definitely return to Qin." ”

Qin Wangzheng smiled, knowing that Meng Wu was comforting himself, thinking back to his several contacts with Gao Yuan, Gao Yuan did not have much preference for financial officials, and although his attitude towards himself was respectful and polite, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and he also ignored his several hints and solicitations, so a person like this, even if he completed his travels in the future, I am afraid it would be difficult to return to Qin State to become a minister of Qin State, but these words Qin Wangzheng was not good to say to Meng Wu, so he had to nod and said: "I hope so, Meng Qing, it's not too early." Go back and rest. ”

After Meng Wu heard this, he thanked Qin Wangzheng again, and then said goodbye and left the palace, while Qin Wangzheng was still sitting alone in the study, thinking back to a series of things that happened today.

It can be said that today is the most dangerous time for Qin Wangzheng, at that time, even Qin Wangzheng once thought that he would not be spared, and now in retrospect, Qin Wangzheng still feels a little afraid. At this time, Qin Wangzheng's eyes swept away, and he happened to see a bamboo slip placed in the corner of the case, Qin Wangzheng's heart moved, and he picked up the bamboo slip, which was the result of the red pine nut divination: there is good luck in the evil, and there is safety in the danger.

At that time, Qin Wangzheng was quite dissatisfied with the results of Chi Songzi's divination, thinking that it was too empty and had little substantive meaning, and even doubted whether Chi Songzi was deliberately perfunctory. Judging from the current situation, Qin Wangzheng found that the result of this divination was really accurate, because the assassination he encountered, although the process was indeed extremely dangerous, but the final result was to turn the danger into a safe one, but isn't it "good luck in the evil, safety in the danger"? From this point of view, although it can only be understood from the results after the fact, it also shows that the divination ability of red pine nuts is really reliable and trustworthy.

Therefore, at this time, Qin Wangzheng couldn't help but feel a little secretly lucky, fortunately, after this divination, although he was very dissatisfied with the result, he did not neglect the red pine child, otherwise he really offended the red pine child, then it was really bad.

However, Qin Wangzheng also knew that Chi Songzi had served in the Qin palace for more than 20 years, and he had also rewarded Chi Songzi with a lot of property before, and even beautiful women, but Chi Songzi did not keep a penny for himself, and all of them were distributed to the poor people of Qin, and the beauties given by Qin Wangzheng, Chi Songzi also released them from the palace, and gave them some property, so that they could join relatives and friends, and choose people to marry. After Qin Wangzheng learned about it, he was helpless about the behavior of the red pine nuts, but after knowing that the reward was useless to the red pine nuts, he rarely rewarded the red pine nuts with money, but only gave the red pine nuts a considerable courtesy.

Therefore, Qin Wangzheng did not reward the red pine nuts with money, but used the red pine nuts to be accurate and meritorious, and sealed the red pine nuts as the Taigao sacrificial wine, honored the title of immortal master, and all civil and military officials will treat them as teachers.

Qin Wangzheng sighed lightly, put down the bamboo slip, and thought that the matter of the plateau was over for the time being, and the next thing was to attack the Yan Kingdom, which was the most important thing at the moment. Qin Wangzheng knew very well that if it was just Yan State, it would naturally not be fearful for Qin State, but if Qin State wanted to attack Yan State, Daijun was an obstacle that could not be bypassed.

Of course, Qin Wangzheng knew that the plateau would never sit idly by and watch the Qin army capture Yan, because if Daijun wanted to expand, he had to occupy more land, and Yan was also the target of the plateau, and once the Qin State destroyed the Yan State, Daijun would be surrounded by Qin on three sides, and it would only be a matter of time before he perished, so it was reasonable that the plateau could not let Yan be destroyed by Qin, and Qin State sent troops this time, and the main opponent of Qin State was not Yan State, but Daijun.

Although the comprehensive strength of the Qin State is much stronger than that of the Daijun, this does not mean that the Qin army will be able to defeat the Dai army on the battlefield. Moreover, the combat effectiveness of the Dai army is not inferior to that of the Qin army, and the ability to use troops on the plateau is not under Li Mu, and the current Qin State is also a time when the national strength is greatly damaged and the troops are exhausted, so whether this battle can have a chance of winning, even Qin Wangzheng himself has no bottom in his heart.

Originally, in the expectation of Qin Wangzheng, after three or four years, the Qin State gradually recovered its national strength, and after having full certainty, it would attack Daijun again, relying on Qin's strong comprehensive strength to drag across Daijun, but now Qin has to officially fight with the Dai army without full certainty, so how to fight this battle, troop allocation, and material supply must also have a detailed plan.

Although the formulation of the battle plan is the responsibility of the relevant ministers, and it is not the business of Qin Wangzheng, Qin Wangzheng must also have a certain idea of this battle, because the final decision is still decided by Qin Wangzheng.

―――――――― dividing line――――――――― dividing line―――――――― when Qin Wangzheng was meditating in the study, in Han Teng's mansion, it was also brightly lit, and all the generals in the mansion were mobilized and lined up in the courtyard to wait.

It turned out that Gao Yuan suddenly said goodbye, which not only surprised Qin Wangzheng, but also disrupted Han Teng's arrangement, although Han Teng could also estimate that Gao Yuan would not expect that he would deal with him on the way back to Daijun, but he would also stay in Xianyang for a few days, and after finding a safe passage, he would leave after having a certain certainty, because Gao Yuan could still guarantee safety in Xianyang City, so if he changed to others, he would hide in a relatively safe place for a few more days before leaving.

Han Teng really didn't expect that Gao Yuan's actions would be so fast, he couldn't even wait for tomorrow, and left Xianyang overnight, making himself set up an ambush halfway and the idea of intercepting Gao Yuan was completely frustrated.

However, the plateau has only just left Xianyang, and now it is only an hour or two at most, and it will definitely not be able to go far, so if it is extremely timely to catch up, it may be too late, so Han Teng recruited the generals in the mansion overnight, preparing to attack overnight and chase the plateau.

There are two main ways to return to Daijun from Xianyang, one is the route taken by the plateau when sneaking into the Qin State, leaving from Jiuyuan County in the north of the Qin State, and entering the territory of Daijun from Yunzhong County; The second is the traditional route, which is to go out of the city to the east, go out of Qin through Hangu Pass, and then cross Zhao to return to Daijun. It's just that because the plateau left very suddenly, Han Teng didn't have time to send someone to keep an eye on the plateau's whereabouts, so Han Teng didn't know which way the plateau would take to return to Daijun.

Moreover, Han Teng did not rule out that he would not take the two roads of the plateau, but first travel to the west and north, and after making a big circle, he would return to the two roads of north and east, so that although he went a little farther, the advantage was that he could disrupt Han Teng's arrangement and successfully avoid Han Teng's pursuit.

Therefore, Han Teng had no other way but to divide the family in the house into four roads, and pursued the plateau from the southeast, northwest, and four directions, and in this way, it was bound to lead Han Teng's forces to disperse, and he could not concentrate manpower, even if he caught up with the plateau, he might not be able to stop him.

And at this point, Han Teng had no other good way, so he had to assign each way to pursue, led by a member of the five god generals plus two members of the ten generals, leading two hundred family members, once the whereabouts of the plateau were discovered, do not immediately intercept and chase the plateau, but keep an eye on the whereabouts of the plateau, drag down the plateau as much as possible, and immediately send someone to report, and then send someone to support.

But it is difficult to say whether the other three chasing soldiers will have time to come back, and Han Teng himself may not be able to pull away, because now that the Qin State has sent troops, Han Teng, as a general, is an important minister of the military, and there will definitely be a lot of things, so only Feng Bo and Yu Shi can serve as the main candidates for support, so whether or not the plateau can be intercepted and killed, Han Teng has no bottom in his heart, so he can only take one step at a time.
