The prince was moved by Zhao Xi and nodded frequently. Out of respect for Zhou Shao, he asked again: "General Zhou, what do you think?"

Zhou Shao was also resentful of the matter of the Prince and Zhao Xi talking about the Su Qin League Conference with slander. He thought about it, and Su Qin had never explained what to do after rescuing the Prince. He thought to himself: "It's better to shut up and not say it, so as not to lose your complaints in the future."

Therefore, Zhou Shao shook his head at the prince and said, "I will follow the prince's orders and decide it all by the prince."

The person the prince trusted the most at this time was Zhao Xi. Since Zhao Xi advocated still heading for Jinyang City, he did not stick to his original opinion. He said: "What Doctor Zhao said makes sense, so let's go to Jinyang City for the time being to hide."

As soon as the prince finished speaking, Qu Xin returned from the ambush position. He was wearing the armor of the Chu people, which was completely different from the Zhao army and was very conspicuous. When the prince saw Qu Xin, he widened his eyes in surprise, for no reason.

Seeing this, Zhou Shao hurriedly introduced Qu Xin to the prince, praising Qu Xin for his bravery and good fighting, young and promising. Qu Xin bowed and greeted Zhao Yong. He felt that he was from Chu and most of the soldiers led by him were not from Zhao's soldiers, so there was no need to appear inferior to the prince of Zhao.

Zhao Xi frowned slightly. He was unhappy and thought to himself: "These mixed troops were all caused by Su Qin. If there were no so-called coalition meeting, how could these soldiers from the vassal state appear in Zhao for no reason!"

"As there are many mixed people, many troubles will inevitably occur. I heard that the nobles and princes from various countries are popular to raise their families. It seems that the social atmosphere in various countries will not be much better in the future."

Qu Xin saw a civil servant who was not wearing armor next to the prince, with a thin face and a firm expression, but he ignored his expression and was not very friendly. Qu Xin nodded slightly at Zhao Xi, as he had seen the courtesy. Zhao Xi was polite and also because he had to rely on the princely soldiers led by Qu Xin, so he bowed his hand immediately.

Zhou Shao told Qu Xin that he was going to Jinyang, and Qu Xin felt a little unconsidered. Because Jinyang is north of Huo Tai Mountain, it is closer to the territory of the Linhu people. If they increase their troops to Jinyang, then wouldn’t the prince and his party and the tens of thousands of joint troops led by him be equivalent to walking in Jinyang City and waiting for death?

Such an arrangement seems very passive, which is an extremely negative choice. Qu Xin wanted to persuade him, but then he thought again: "After all, I am a guest at this time, so the guest is as good as the host, so you should not force the prince of Zhao to follow his advice."

Qu Xin secretly told Zhou Shao about his thoughts. After Zhou Shao heard this, he persuaded him because they had difficulties, "Prime Minister Su has not clearly stated the direction of our next move. Besides, if you go back to Handan directly, there will be great risks. I am worried that once the prince is captured, we will not be able to bear such responsibility."

"Why do you think they will follow their wishes, adapt to the situation, and take one step at a time." He pointed to his crooked arms and said, "We still have two tips that have not been used. I believe Prime Minister Su has a clever plan to help. Let's rest assured."

After hearing Zhou Shao's persuasion, Qu Xin felt that his opinion was nonsense and he couldn't listen to it at all. So Qu Xin didn't say much. He and Zhou Shao began to discuss how to successfully retreat to Jinyang City.

Qu Xin suggested that Zhou Shaoxian lead 10,000 troops to escort the prince and his party first, and he led the remaining 20,000 troops to ambush on Dongyangpo to serve as the prince and his party behind the palace.

If the Lin Hu cavalry attacks again, then they will still use ambush formations to deal with the fierce cavalry units of the Lin Hu people. Su Qin once said that only the ambush lineup can work best against the fierce cavalry units of the Lin Hu people.

Of course, if Lin Hu's cavalry still had not arrived two hours later, then he would lead his team to evacuate to Jinyang City. Zhou Shao intended to stay by himself, but Qu Xin insisted that he was still the rear guard of the palace. He said: "You are from Zhao, and the prince is closer to you, so General Zhou should not refuse."

When Zhou Shao heard this, he nodded and agreed, so he led his troops to take the lead. However, even Qu Xin's rear troops did not wait for the cavalry of the Linhu people.

Two hours later, Qu Xin saw that there was no movement in front of the position, so he ordered: "The entire army withdrew and retreated in an orderly manner. Let's move towards Jinyang City!"

The reason why Qu Xin left Dongyangpo so smoothly was inseparable from Zhang Yi's arrangement. When Mantuo took his cavalry and retreated, Zhang Yi had already judged that Zhao had sent reinforcements to rescue the prince.

Zhang Yi was very upset and thought to himself: "It seems that the action he had carefully planned will fail again. This must be the one that Su Qin was doing behind the scenes. If he hadn't secretly arranged a reinforcement, with the wisdom of the others in Zhao State, he would probably not even notice our sneak attack on the prince of Zhao State, so he would not have thought about sending troops to rescue him."

Zhang Yi didn't know where Su Qin got the roadmap of his action plan, but he was still very wary of Su Qin's detective intelligence and ability to arrange troops.

Since he joined Qin to preside over the overall situation of Lianheng, he realized that this was not an easy thing to accomplish. Everything was because his senior brother Su Qin was leading the Hezong Alliance. The two collided head-on and familiar with each other. It was not only human personality, but also the strategies obtained from Master Guigu.

"What you think of, the other party probably thought of, too. What you didn't expect was that the other party might be planning in secret." Zhang Yi reminded himself to be so vigilant.

In fact, he was willing but not capable, because even though he had obtained the support of King Ying Si of Qin, the Qin State was not a solid piece of law. There were many ministers who resisted and opposed the Lianheng strategy. Among them were General Sima Cuo, who he rescued from the battlefield in Mianchi.

After Sima Cuo returned from the battlefield in Mianchi, King Ying Si of Qin was very pleased to see that the Qin army was generally safe and sound. He knew that morale could be boosted and should not be vented. In order to boost the morale of the three armies, he not only did not punish Sima Cuo, but also gave him a hundred gold medal to allow him to recuperate at home for a while.

Sima Cuo felt guilty because although the main force of the Qin army withdrew on the Mianchi battlefield, it also lost tens of thousands of troops and damaged its vitality. Moreover, according to the agreement between Prime Minister Zhang Yi and the new king of Chu, Xiong Huai, Qin returned the occupied land of Hanzhong in Chu to Chu.

The soldiers fought east and west, expanding their territory, and every inch of land was hard to come by. Especially when they handed over the "fat meat" they had obtained, they returned it to the hostile side, how could they swallow this tone?
