"Xilulu..."

There was a long neighing sound, a dull sound of hoofbeats, and a majestic war horse appeared in sight.

The reins were waving rhythmically, the mane was waving wantonly, and the powerful four hooves were constantly tapping the ground beneath their feet.

With the wind and lightning, dozens of war horses galloped wantonly across the plains. It was not until they received orders from their masters that these figures as swift as the wind began to slow down.

After a few breaths, I felt the horse under me slowly moving forward, and quietly stared at the scenery in front of me. On the horse's back, Qin Gong Yingshi Xi's eyes were calm, but there were waves hidden under them.

"Xilulu..."

At this moment, another neighing sound sounded beside Ying Shixi, and Ying Qian galloped his horse to come to his side.

"My father-in-law, crossing the Luoshui River in front of us is the territory of Wei State."

Looking in the direction of Ying Qian's finger, the river was rolling towards the south. After the ice and snow melted in winter, the Luoshui River was now showing a rushing scene.

"No, that is also the land of our Qin State." Looking across Luoshui to the land on the other side, Ying Shixi's eyes were filled with nostalgia, "It's just that we failed one after another decades ago.

Qin just threw him away."

His eyes were fixed in front of him for a long time without shifting, and scenes of familiar scenes appeared in Ying Shixi's mind.

Speaking of which, although Ying Shixi is now the king of a country, his past could not be said to be smooth sailing, but it can also be said to have been ill-fated.

When he was ten years old, his father Qin Linggong passed away suddenly, and the throne that was supposed to belong to him was taken away by his uncle Qin Jiangong. He had no choice but to flee to the east of Wei State.

Ying Shixi, the young master of Qin who had been living in Wei for decades, survived two generations of Duke Jian of Qin and Duke Hui of Qin. It was not until his youngest son Qin gave birth to a son to succeed him that he had the opportunity to return to his country.

In the second year after the birth of Qin's son, that is, in 385 BC, Ying Shixi, with the support of Wei Wuhou, returned to Qin from Hexi to regain the throne that should have belonged to him.

His thoughts returned to reality from memories of the past, and there was still some nostalgia in Ying Shixi's eyes.

Twenty years ago, he returned to Qin from the east bank of Luoshui and successfully seized his own position as King of Qin; twenty years later, he will lead an army to attack from the west of Luoshui and take back the land of Hexi that belongs to Qin.

.

The nostalgia in his eyes gradually disappeared, and a touch of determination appeared on his face. At this moment, Ying Shixi's hands unconsciously tightened the reins in his hands.

The war horse beneath him also seemed to feel the agitation in his master's heart. It moved its four hooves slightly anxiously and continued to make heavy breathing sounds.

"drive……"

There was a sound of urging the horse, and the reins in Ying Shixi's hand flicked, and the head of the war horse beneath him was gently turned in the direction from which it came.

Looking back at the surging Luoshui behind him again, the look in Ying Shixi's eyes became a little firmer.

"Qian'er, let's go back to Chongquan."

"Here."

The neighing of war horses sounded again, and the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground came again. Dozens of Qin troops wearing light armor galloped back in the direction they came from.

After a few breaths, the team could no longer be seen on the horizon, but only bursts of smoke and dust were left behind.

…

Qin State, on the bank of Luoshui River, Chongquan City.

Since it suffered disastrous defeats one after another in the Hexi battles with Wei, Qin had to move its defense line from the west of the river to the Luoshui line.

At the same time, in order to better resist the Wei State, the Qin State also built an important military town, Chongquan City, on the bank of Luoshui River.

As Qin troops arrived one after another in the past period of time, Chongquan City, which is located at the junction of Qin and Wei, became a bit more formidable than before.

Looking at this important military town from a distance, a large ink-colored Qin flag is flying high on the somewhat mottled city wall.

An elite Qin army wearing armor was standing at the top of the city at the moment. Their wary eyes were watching the outside of the city intently, not missing even the slightest trace of suspicion.

When galloping figures appeared on the plains outside the city, these Qin soldiers were immediately alert, and their hands tightly grasped the weapons in their hands at this moment.

"Who is coming?"

After a while, under the gaze of these Qin soldiers with some respect, Ying Shixi and his entourage, who had identified themselves, galloped towards the city on horseback.

After passing through the tightly guarded city wall and crossing the wide and deserted streets, Ying Shixi and his party arrived in front of a mansion in Chongquan City.

This place was originally the core of the entire Chongquan City, but with the beginning of the Hexi War, it has transformed into the brain of the entire Qin army.

Ying Shixi quickly dismounted his horse and walked into the mansion without any hesitation.

"Greetings to you, Your Majesty."

"You don't have to be polite, just get up."

When he stepped into the main hall of the mansion, Ying Shixi didn't say anything to the people in the hall. After a few words, he walked towards the hanging map in front of him.

At this moment, Ying Shixi's attention was completely focused on the map in front of him. As his eyes moved from city to city, thoughts appeared in his mind one by one.

After looking at it for a while, Ying Shixi withdrew his gaze from the map in front of him and quickly turned around to look at the important ministers and generals behind him.

Ying Shixi's eyes first fell on Zhang Yu, who was now the number one person in the Qin army and the leader of the army in this battle.

"General Zhang Yu, our Qin State has mobilized a total of 150,000 troops for this battle in Hexi. How many of these troops have arrived at Chongquan City now?"

Upon hearing the question raised by Ying Shixi, the commander-in-chief Zhang Xi first recalled the reports he had received in the past few days, and then gave a military salute to the front.

"Your Majesty, as of yesterday, 100,000 troops have arrived at Chongquan City. As for the remaining 50,000 soldiers, they are not far from Chongquan City. I believe that the army will be assembled soon."

"good."

After getting a satisfactory answer from Zhang Xi, Ying Shixi immediately shouted "Hello", and the look on his face showed a little more appreciation for the famous general of the Qin Army in front of him.

After asking the general of the army, Ying Shixi's eyes immediately fell on the doctor Qianlong beside him, "Sir, have the army's food, grass and baggage been properly prepared?"

Facing Ying Shixi's questioning look at him, Qianlong, who had been in power for decades, had a face full of calmness and confidence at this moment.

"Your Majesty, food, grass and baggage from various places are now being delivered to the front line. I guarantee that there will be sufficient supply when the army sets off."

"good."

Another good word rang out in the main hall. Ying Shixi's heart was filled with trust for Qianlong who had been assisting him since he succeeded to the throne.

After asking about the army and talking about food and fodder, Ying Shixi's eyes immediately fell on his eldest son Ying Qian.

"Quliang is going to Qi this time. Is there any news back?"

"For the record, my father-in-law, I received a silk letter from Quliang yesterday. The State of Qi has agreed to send troops to attack the State of Wei with me."
