I tried my best to help Zulong, and finally got my wife

After all the princes and generals retreated, the queen returned to her resting place, knelt down in front of an old man, and said softly: "Mother, the people of Qin attacked the Great Yue Clan, and I will lead the people of the Yue Clan to conquest in person."

The old woman had gray temples and wrinkles on her face. She slowly opened her eyes, sighed secretly, and said lightly, "Central Plains, that place is so beautiful. I haven't been back for more than twenty years. Do you know what the Central Plains looks like today?"

"The people of Qin were originally the horse breeders of the Zhou Dynasty, but in the end they destroyed the Great Zhou Dynasty and ruined the country with the surname Ji..."

The old man seems to be trapped in endless memories. Twenty-five years ago, the ruler of Yueshi asked Zhou Tianzi Ji Yan for marriage. The country exchanged countless horses for Qin.

She hated Qin people very much, and hated her weak and incompetent father even more.

But not long after, she heard the bad news that the people of Qin drove his father from the position of son of heaven, and the Zhou Dynasty perished since then.

From that moment on, he has been calculating all the time, she wants to seize the power of King Yuezhi, and control it in her hands, and must avenge her father and kill the Qin people.

When she came to Yuezhi's country, she was deeply liked by the elderly Yuezhi king. For this reason, she endured the humiliation and gave birth to a son for the Yuezhi king, but he was murdered to death.

In the end, she gave birth to another daughter, this girl is now Queen Yuezhi, and she named her Yuezhi.

She calculated everything, wooed the leaders, and sold her soul. In the end, her hard work paid off, and she pushed her daughter Yueshi to the throne.

Yuezhi did not disappoint her either, and made the entire Yuezhi Kingdom stronger.

She just wanted to return to the Central Plains, defeat Qin, wash away the humiliation of the year, and restore the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Chapter 323 Happy General

Queen Yueshi raised her head and asked, "Is there anything else you can say, Mother?"

"Conquer the State of Qin!" A fierce aura erupted from the old eyes, and he said fiercely.

"I want to see the prosperity of the Central Plains with my own eyes."

Yueshi clenched her fists tightly and replied: "Mother, please wait, my daughter will return in triumph."

The old woman pondered for a moment, and said: "The Central Plains has a splendid culture, you have to be careful, don't be fooled, the Central Plains is not as miserable as Wusun, and it is not as brainless as the Huns. It's resourcefulness."

Yueshi nodded and retreated slowly.

In the palace, the lady officer who went to pursue Li Si came back, but she knelt in front of the queen.

"I'm incompetent, I didn't catch Qin envoy Li Si."

The queen's eyes turned cold, but she still maintained her majesty, and asked, "Why didn't they catch up? Did they fly away with wings?"

"Damn me, I only chased after Daqin's mission, but there was no Li Si in it."

"After torture and interrogation, some of them said that Li Si separated from them after he left the city."

The queen snorted coldly, that man was really cunning, knowing that the queen would not let him go, he even ran away early.

"Keep chasing, and catch him no matter what."

"If you can't catch him, come and see him."

The female officer prostrated herself at the Queen's feet, shivering, and was finally relieved to see the Queen let him commit crimes and meritorious deeds, but she searched all possible hiding places, but she couldn't find it.

However, that fellow must have run towards the east.

……

Two days later, Queen Yuezhi assembled 20 cavalry, of which [-] were the elite central army led by her twelve generals, and the other [-] were two armies.

Of course, there are countless cavalry, all on standby in the Hexi Corridor. When the army arrives, they will follow the army to fight in Gaolan City.

Of course, along the way, they also recruited hundreds of thousands of slave troops as cannon fodder, using the lives of slaves to consume the strength of the Qin army.

In this way, Queen Yuezhi would lead an army of 30 troops to attack the Qin army's invasion from the Hexi Corridor alone.

Including the army guarding Xitao Plain and Gaolan City at the foot of Helan Mountain, I am afraid it will exceed 50.

This is also the capital that the Yuezhi Kingdom can be proud of. This time it can be said that it will be a battle for the whole country.

Take out everything you can.

……

The beginning of October in the lunar calendar.

The climate in the northwest is already very cold, the trees stand bare, and the ground is covered with a layer of crystal clear frost.

Zhang He came back to the camp from the wilderness on a horse. His breath was frozen into icicles, but today's harvest was good. He killed a silly roe deer and two pheasants.

Xu Chu and Dian Wei started to disembowel the stupid roe deer, and the pheasant was also stripped and washed in warm water.

Zhang He changed into a cotton coat, rubbed his hands and asked the soldiers to set up an iron pot, threw all the washed meat into the water, and began to cook the meat.

As for the two pheasants, Zhang He is going to add dried fungi and some medicinal materials from the locals to make soup.

Not long after, the meat was already half-ripe. Xu Chu scooped up a leg for Zhang He, sprinkled it with refined salt, and Zhang He began to feast on it.

Take another sip of the delicious pheasant soup, it is really delicious in the world. (Reminder: Silly roe deer and pheasant are protected animals. If not handled properly, they may go in for three to five years.)

"call……"

"Have fun, Xu Chu, share the meat with everyone!"

The governor of Longxi stayed up all night and had been processing the battle reports from all sides. When the collection was completed, it was dawn and he went to the camp to look for Zhang He. This guy went out to hunt.

Damn!

Is there anyone like you who is a general?

So he rested in a tent for a while, and then fell asleep. When he got up, he saw that it was already afternoon when I went.

Come out of the tent quickly, and you can smell the delicious meat!

Zhang He was gnawing on a thigh, and there was a bowl of soup in front of him, with a mouthful of meat and a mouthful of soup.

Li Dao couldn't help rolling his throat up and down, and there was a gurgling sound from his stomach.

"Hey, Governor Li, when did you come?"

"The officer has been here for a while, and I have something important to report to you! Last night's battle report has been integrated."

Zhang He nodded and said with a smile: "Hurry up and drink a bowl of soup to drive away the cold, this is my family tradition..."

Li Dao drank the soup and reported to Zhang He while drinking.

"After taking Yuzhong City, General Wang Ben went all the way north. Among them, [-] Yueshi cavalry encountered our army and were wiped out by our army. At this moment, General Wang Ben is less than five days away from Gaolan City."

"General Li Xin has already crossed the Yellow River at this moment, and attacked the city with lightning speed. Many leaders at the foot of Helan Mountain were shocked when they heard this, and then gathered their troops to fight General Li Xin."

"General Li Xin used all his tactics and confronted the enemy on the plain. Using large crossbows and repeated crossbows, he wiped out the cavalry that the Yue clan had managed to gather in the first battle."

"Afterwards, General Li Xin sent troops southward, and the Yue Clan no longer had any troops to fight against him."

Zhang He nodded. This was all expected. According to information, there are not many Yuezhi cavalry in the Xitao area under Helan Mountain. Most of them are local herdsmen, who use fertile pastures to raise countless cattle. Sheep and horses.

Most of the Yuezhi cavalry were concentrated in the Gaolan area.

"How many war horses, how many cattle and sheep have been captured?"

This is what Zhang He is most concerned about.

Li Dao was stunned for a moment, this was the question he was going to talk about next, he didn't expect the general to ask this question.

Sure enough, the general is the general.

Li Dao said excitedly: "Based on intelligence, General Li Xin raided two horse farms and captured more than 1 horses in total."

"As for cattle and sheep, there is no record in the battle report, it just says that there are cattle and sheep all over the mountains and plains."

"Hehehe... Li Xin is doing well."

"This is a fortune."

"Mr. Li, please send a message to Xianyang immediately, let the merchants and nobles from Han, Zhao and Wei in Xianyang and the six countries come to receive cattle and sheep."

"Buying cattle and sheep from the Xitao area can be [-]% lower than the market price, and the army escorts them all the way to ensure that they will not be robbed."

Li Dao was stunned for a moment, but he immediately realized that the cattle and sheep all over the mountains and fields could not be managed by Daqin's army alone. If those merchants came, they would be robbed immediately.

This will free up the army and concentrate on dealing with the Yuezhi army.

"I'll do it right away."

"By the way, where is Meng Tian?"

"Meng Tian went northward along the Tao River, and now he has arrived at the Yellow River, and is about to cross the Yellow River, go to the hinterland of the Hexi Corridor, clear the scattered cavalry in that area, and prepare for the ambush of the Yuezhi army."

Zhang He nodded in satisfaction. With these three generals around, he was useless as a general. This day was just right.

"First send a battle report to Xianyang to report the current battle to the king."

Chapter 324 Too extravagant, is it necessary to use heavy armor to deal with the unarmed slave army

Gaolan City.

Mi Le Xihou set off from Dunhuang, traveled day and night, and finally arrived at Gaolan City after three days. Fortunately, Gaolan City was not captured by the Qin people.

However, when he learned that the large territory under Helan Mountain had already belonged to Qin, Yuzhong and other large territories west of the Yellow River had also been captured by the Qin people, his face was quite bright.

His own territory disappeared in the blink of an eye?

"Gather the knights from all tribes and follow me to guard Gaolan, and give up the rest of the place."

This is the most sensible choice, otherwise his army can only be swallowed up bit by bit in the face of the powerful Qin people. Only by mobilizing all the troops together can he defend Gaolan.

Gaolan is his base and cannot be lost. Once Gaolan is lost, his Mi Le Xihou will exist in name only.

"Report..."

"The [-] Qin army has reached Gaolan City for about two hundred miles."

Mi Lexi was startled, why so fast?

"Now, how many warriors do I have in Gaolan City?"

The warrior beside him said: "There are less than [-] cavalry."

Bad, the people of Qin wanted to take Gaolan City before the Yuezhi army arrived.

"Hurry up, hurry up and pass the news to the queen, saying that Gaolan City can't be defended."

Then he said: "Find out the position of the Qin army immediately, block them to the east of the Yellow River, and don't allow them to cross the river."

It is natural for Mi Le Xihou to be able to become a vassal. Now the natural barrier of the Yellow River is what he can use in order to be able to use it. If he uses it well, he can block the Qin army to the west of the Yellow River.

He immediately summoned all the warriors, captured more than 3 slaves, and prepared to go to the Yellow River to attack the enemy.

Want to defend the city?

Don't be kidding, he has seen how strong the Qin people's city is, but such a strong city has still been breached.

Therefore, Gaolan City, an earthen city, cannot be defended at all, and these warriors are not good at defending the city.

What they are good at is riding war horses, charging on the battlefield, and fighting with the Qin people.

Although he only had more than 5 cavalry, most of the Qin people were infantry. Even if the Qin people crossed the river, he could not beat them, but could still run.

But if you are trapped in this earthen city, you will become a bastard in the city and will be beaten to death.

Mi Lexi has been sent to Qin State as an envoy, and he has seen a lot. In today's words, he came back from studying in the most advanced country.

Mi Lexi immediately made the most correct choice.

Go to the Yellow River to block the Qin people from crossing the river. If the Qin people have already crossed the river, use [-] slaves as cannon fodder to consume the Qin people's combat power, and then use cavalry to charge the battle.

If you can't beat the battle, then run.

As said in the Central Plains Art of War, running away if you can't fight is the best policy.

Wait for Queen Yuezhi's army to arrive before showing Qin Jun a good look.

Three hundred miles away from Gaolan City.

Wang Ben stood on the bank of the Yellow River with a cold face, waiting for the army to build the pontoon bridge.

At this moment, he was also very worried.

Before the scouts sent out to investigate the Yuezhi army had not returned, he was afraid that if the Yuezhi army suddenly killed on the opposite side, it would be the end of the calf.

The Yellow River is fast-flowing, and the river is very wide. It is very unrealistic to cross the river with boats, 10 horses, luggage, and large crossbows.

Once the Yuezhi army appeared on the opposite side, they would suffer heavy losses, or their entire army would be wiped out in the water.
