Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1611 Go to the front line in person
  Meng Tian has been stationed in the North for many years, and he knows the characteristics of the wolf army well.

Therefore, facing Yanmen County, which was almost completely occupied, he did not find it difficult.

To put it bluntly, there is only one critical place in Yanmen County - Yanmen Pass.

As long as Yanmen Pass is taken back, Yanmen County will be taken back.

Of course, Yanmen Pass is not easy to attack, or all the passes in the world are not easy to attack. Otherwise, there would be no need to spend so much effort building the passes.

However, when the wolf army fought a defensive battle, they still defended the city, which was a joke in Meng Tian's opinion.

There is not a single city in the entire grassland, so you have to defend the city with a hammer!

The fact was exactly as Meng Tian expected. It only took him one day to get Yanmen Pass back. However, in order to pursue speed, he used the latest siege equipment of the Gongshu family, operating it through the two heavens of ice and fire, and closed Yanmen Pass. A small section of the wall collapsed, and it will probably take a lot of work to rebuild it again.

Fortunately, this will not affect the showdown between him and the wolves.

However, although Mo Dun was easily driven out of Yanmen Pass by him, this wolf clan Shanyu was not easy to deal with.

He also knew very well that he could not hold the Yanmen Pass. The wolves had never occupied the city pass before when they came to plunder the Central Plains. The only thing that was beyond his expectation was that Meng Tian's way of breaking the pass was to smash the wall into pieces.

But this does not affect his follow-up plan - which is to seduce Meng Tian to pursue his defeated army.

Then Meng Tian really fell into his plan and led thousands of gold fire cavalry to pursue the poor bandits.

As the saying goes, don't chase the enemy when you are poor. Meng Tian has no intention of looking down on his opponent, Mao Dun, but seeing the opportunity to capture the thief and capture the king, he can't let it go. Anyway, with the mobility of the Golden Fire Cavalry, as long as he doesn't go too far There's no big problem if you take the plunge.

In the end, Meng Tian encountered the same situation as Sima Shang and Li Zuoche, and came into contact with the weird special army under Mao Dun.

Regardless of whether the cavalry could defeat the Macedonian phalanx, it was the first time Meng Tian encountered this kind of military formation tactics. He was indeed a little confused. In the end, he lost his troops and generals and returned in defeat.

Of course, the casualties were not bad, and the Communist Party did not lead many people in pursuit.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, Meng Tian led the remaining soldiers back to the military camp in the pass.

As soon as he returned to the camp, he saw his deputy walking towards him.

Meng Tian got off his horse and asked with a frown:

"Why are you here? Didn't I ask you to greet His Highness?"

The content of the edict issued by Ying Zheng was to put Fusu outside Shangjun, which was not the front line. In the eyes of others, this could be regarded as Ying Zheng's last mercy to his eldest son.

Of course, as long as you leave the imperial capital, Fusu can go wherever he wants in this huge northern land, and no one will care about such trivial details.
  Meng Tian had no intention of letting Fusu go to the front line to take risks, and he couldn't get away, so he sent a deputy to greet Fusu.

The deputy general heard the words and quickly explained, "Back to the general, your highness heard that the general had fought against the wolf tribe, so he insisted on rushing to the battle to cheer for the general."

"General Meng broke through the barrier with ten men in one day. He is worthy of being the pillar of our great Qin Kingdom."

At this time, Fusu's gentle voice sounded from the side. Dressed in plain robes, he walked slowly over surrounded by several shadow secret guards.

Seeing Fusu, Meng Tian hurriedly saluted and said hello, "I will finally see His Highness the Young Master."

Fusu stretched out his hand to help Meng Tian up and said with a smile, "General Meng, there is no need to be too polite. I would also like to thank the general for sending the golden fire cavalry to greet him."

………………

Songhai, a Mohist stronghold on the coast.

Many senior officials of the Moh family, as well as Xiang Liang, Fan Zeng, Zhang Liang and others of the Xiang family gathered together. Robber Zhi asked curiously:
  "What's the situation now? Isn't Xianyang going to be in chaos?"

He was talking about the assassination of Ying Zheng during the Spring Festival Ceremony, which has now reached Songhai.

Zhang Liang stood by the railing, looking at the sparkling sea under the dim yellow and red sun, and replied in a relaxed tone:

"From the assassination of Haiyue Xiaozhu to the assassination of the Spring Festival Ceremony, the ultimate goal of this power struggle within the empire is to overthrow the eldest son Fusu."

"Now, they've actually done that."

"Fusu...really fell?" Xue Nu couldn't believe it.

Of course, the most important thing is that she doesn't want anything to happen to Fusu. After all, he is Gu Xun's student, and the two parties are closely bound.

Zhang Liang turned around, smiled, and replied vaguely, "This question... At present, Young Master Fusu has indeed lost hope of becoming the heir apparent."

"After such a big commotion, who is still wandering around Songhai like a rock, don't you care?" Pirate Zhi chuckled, and asked again.

"Brother Gu... I probably don't care." Zhang Liang raised his eyebrows and responded with a smile, making it difficult for people to see through his actual thoughts.

"Speaking of which, the assassins at the Xianyang Spring Festival Ceremony were said to be related to the late Changping Lord... Is this possible?" Master Ban twirled his beard and looked at Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng with inquiring eyes.

Lord Changping was from the royal family of the Chu Kingdom, and he died for the Chu Kingdom. If you want to know more about him, these two must know him the most.

"This..." Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng looked at each other, shook their heads with a wry smile and replied, "We can't be sure either."

"When Changping Jun rebelled against Chen Di, he actually had a secret relationship with his father. He wanted to unite his internal and external forces to defeat Li Xin's army, but he missed a move and ended up...died here."

"After the death of Lord Changping, his most important subordinate Nongjia Xiakui also disappeared. All the forces of Lord Changping disappeared. Since then, the Nongjia has gradually lost contact with the Chu State, leaving only some worthless people. The incense and passion are mentioned.”

"It stands to reason that the assassin who appeared at the Spring Festival Ceremony should have just pretended to be one, but Lord Changping was always good at strategy. We can't say whether he had a back-up plan during his lifetime."

Back then, the Changping Lord Rebellion seemed to be easily suppressed by Gu Xun and the others, but that was done on the basis of Gu Xun's cheating.

According to actual history, Ying Zheng did not expect that Lord Changping was actually in the Qin camp and his heart was in Chu, and he suffered this loss, which shows the depth of the opponent's scheming.

If we change to a fantasy world, maybe we can rise from the coffin and live another life.

Thief Zhi touched his chin and interjected, "If the people left behind by Lord Changping would not deliberately try to harm Young Master Fusu, right? I remember didn't you guys say before that he was still willing to take care of Fusu before he died?"

Fan Zeng stroked his long beard and replied with a smile, "The world has changed, and people's hearts can change."

"Whatever Mr. Changping thought back then, it can no longer affect people today."

"No matter what, Changping Lord died at the hands of Fusu, his close nephew. This is an irrevocable blood debt."

"Hehe, you people have too many twists and turns, you can't have fun!" Thief Zhi shook his head with a smile and shrank back.

"The struggle for power is never simple." Xiang Liang sighed as if he was thoughtful.

　In real history, Yanmen Pass did not exist in the pre-Qin period, only Yanmen Pass, also known as Juzhu Pass.

　　Meng Tian drove to the north from Yanmen, and finally recovered the entire land of Henan and changed it into the new Qinzhong County of the Qin Dynasty.

　　Because the land was indeed rich and fertile, comparable to the fertile fields of Guanzhong, it was named Xin Qinzhong.
