Then, she turned her head to look at the baby boy who was swaddling beside her, showed a beautiful smile, and said to the baby boy, "My dear son, your father is back."

 Soon, Xu Feng rushed to Efang Palace, and Xu Feng didn't come here often.

 In this life, the gorgeous Efang Palace was not burned down by Xiang Yu.

 Xu Feng rushed to the palace where Mo Rou was, looking at the mother and son lying on the bed, his expression softened.

 "Rou'er, I'm so sorry for you."

 Xu Feng stroked Mo Rou's beautiful face and said.

 Xu Feng is also a human being. After coming to this life, he still fell in love. Mo Rou is also the only woman he has in this era, and now he has a child left for him.

 Although Xu Feng's body belonged to Hu Hai, his soul belonged to him, and he could be considered to have left blood for Qin Shihuang's Ying clan.

 Otherwise, after Xu Feng left Daqin, Xu Feng would not be willing to allow outsiders to inherit the world he finally regained.

 "Your Majesty, you are back." Mo Rou looked at Xu Feng with gentle eyes.

 Afterwards, Xu Feng ordered that Mo Rou be formally conferred the title of empress, and the baby boy born by Mo Rou was directly crowned as the crown prince.

 His eyes turned back to Jiangnan.

 The territory of Hengshan County, that is, the Dabie Mountain area in later generations.

 At this time, more than [-] Han troops led by Zhang Liang were protecting Liu Bang's family, as well as Chen Ping, Guan Ying and other families of many Han generals, on their way to Shouchun.

 Rumble!

 Suddenly, there was a rush of horseshoes not far away.

 "Not good, there are cavalry from the Qin army, ready to fight. Cao Yan, you take people to protect your family and evacuate first."

 Zhang Liang immediately issued an order.

 Sure enough, not long after, a group of cavalry came out not far away, not many in number, only about 500 people, and they were killing them.

 "kill!"

 The soldiers of the Han army under Zhang Liang's command immediately went up to meet them, delaying the evacuation for the family members behind.

 After Zhang Liang led his people into the Dabie Mountain area, he encountered more and more attacks, many of which were scattered villains, all of whom were sent by the Qin army.

 Guo Jia knew that Zhang Liang was rushing to Shouchun with Liu Bang and others' family, so it was impossible for Zhang Liang to go so smoothly.

 Therefore, Guo Jia sent [-] cavalry of the Qin Army, scattered into dozens of groups, to search for the whereabouts of Zhang Liang's team on the roads going north in Hengshan County.

 In the past two days, three cavalry troops of the Qin Army have found Zhang Liang's team.

 But unfortunately, the three cavalry troops of the Qin Army were not very strong, only one or two hundred people, so Zhang Liang escaped.

 But this time, more than 400 Qin cavalry came, but they were the famous tiger and leopard cavalry.

 Guo Jia also made great efforts to catch Zhang Liang and his family members.

 Anyway, the Qin army and the Han army were still facing each other across the Huai River at this time, and Guo Jia had enough cavalry to send out before the war started.

 While Guo Jia sent the Qin army, Liu Bang also sent cavalry to meet Zhang Liang.

 However, because Zhang Liang changed his marching route many times on the way, the cavalry of the Han army who went to meet him could not find Zhang Liang.

 Finally, just outside the city, a large number of small groups of cavalry from the Qin Army and the Han Army shuttled through the northern part of the Dabie Mountains, searching for traces of Zhang Liang's team.

 "Kill!"

 This time, Zhang Liang encountered a big crisis. He personally led more than 3000 Han soldiers to stay behind and cover the escape of Liu Bang's family.

 Four hundred tiger and leopard cavalry and more than three thousand Han soldiers fought together.

 These soldiers of the Han army who could be brought all the way here by Zhang Liang are all veterans of many battles.

 Even though most of him were infantry, he was still not at a disadvantage against the cavalry, and successfully blocked the four hundred tiger and leopard cavalry.

 [Seek to collect and subscribe! 】

 In a bloody battle, more than half of the four hundred tiger and leopard cavalry were lost, and more than a thousand Han soldiers were beheaded.

 But the remaining soldiers of the Han army still fought to the death, and in the end they had no choice but to withdraw temporarily, waiting for reinforcements. .

 "withdraw!"

 After Zhang Liang saw the tiger and leopard cavalry retreating, he immediately withdrew with the rest of the Han army.

 The remaining two hundred tiger and leopard riders still refused to give up and continued to follow behind the Han army led by Zhang Liang.

 Rumble!

 Soon, new reinforcement cavalry from the Qin Army arrived, all of which were cavalry from other groups of the Qin Army wandering around.

 "My lord, it's not good. Another cavalry from the Qin army has arrived."

 A general of the Han army said to Zhang Liang in panic.

 "Don't panic, retreat to the mountains."

 Zhang Liang was still calm, commanding.

 "My lord, wait a minute, you see."

 At this moment, a large group of people and horses appeared in the distance, holding high the banner of "Chinese" characters, to meet the attention of Zhang Liang's soldiers.

 "It's our reinforcements, our reinforcements have arrived."

 Everyone shouted excitedly.

 "kill!"

 The Qin army who came from all walks of life was unwilling to give up. Even when they saw the arrival of the Han army reinforcements, they still killed them.

 "Kill, protect Master Zhang Liang."

 The same is true for the Han army. When they came, they were all ordered to die by Liu Bang. If something happened to Zhang Liang, they all had to die.

 Therefore, seeing the Qin army approaching, these Han troops also desperately went up to meet them.

 The two sides fought for a long time, and it was hard to tell the winner in the end.

 In the end, Qin Jun couldn't do anything about it, so he had to give up, withdraw his troops and return.

 A few days later, Zhang Liang arrived in Shouchun, and Liu Bang took Chen Ping, Xiao He and others to welcome him.

 "Ziliang, this king is waiting for you to come."

 Liu Bang held Zhang Liang's hand and said excitedly.

 Liu Bang didn't even have time to visit his own home, so he came to see Zhang Liang first.

 "The humble minister is terrified, and has failed the high expectations of the king."

 Zhang Liang said with some shame.

 Indeed, Liu Bang trusted Zhang Liang very much and handed over his base Shu to Zhang Liang.

 But in the end, the land of Shu was captured by the Qin army under Zhang Liang's eyes, which made it difficult for Zhang Liang himself to accept.

 Now that Zhang Liang saw that Liu Bang still trusted him so much, he went out to welcome him in person, with a grand ceremony, no wonder Zhang Liang felt ashamed.

 However, Liu Bang knew Zhang Liang's talent. At this time, Liu Bang's situation was bad enough, and he needed a talented person like Zhang Liang to help him with all his heart.

 To win people's hearts, the old Liu family has never disappointed.

 Afterwards, Liu Bang took Zhang Liang into the city, and began to discuss with Chen Ping, Xiao He, Guan Ying and other important officials how to fight against the Qin army.

 "My lord, the Qin army has now unified the north, and the strength of the enemy and ourselves is very different.

 Unless we can regenerate civil strife in Qin State, our strength alone is by no means an opponent of Qin Army.

 Although your majesty negotiated peace with the people of Qin, it delayed us for time.

 However, as time dragged on, it was actually more beneficial to Qin Jun.

 The longer time passes, the stronger the Qin army will be, and we just got the land of Jiangnan, and we have no business for a few years, so there is no way to gain anything! "

 Zhang Liang was also very helpless at this time. Having lost the Han army based in central Sichuan, he had obtained a huge territory of seven or eight counties south of the Huai River, but he was unable to absorb and transform it into his own power in a short period of time.

 For example, at this time Liu Bang's 10,000+ Han army in Shouchun can only last about a month even with food and grass.

 There is no way, Liu Bang can only send troops to double the taxes from the surrounding counties and counties, but in this way, it is easy for him to lose the popular support and arouse the resistance of the people.

 But at this place, Liu Bang couldn't care less.

 This is the evil result of losing its foundation, just like rootless duckweed.

 As for the Qin army, in addition to the wealthy lands of Guanzhong and Hedong that it has been operating, it now has the entire north, as long as the Qin army is allowed to rest for a few months.

 The Qin army can obtain a steady stream of money and food supplies from Guanzhong and Hedong, and then obtain a large number of new soldiers from Qidi, Yandi and other places.

 In this way, the Qin army, which was already strong in strength, will inevitably become stronger. How will Liu Bang stop it then.

 "Zifang, what good strategy do you have, we can't just sit and wait for death!"

 Liu Bang racked his brains and found that he could not solve the situation in front of him, so he could only count on Zhang Liang.

 "My lord, Zifang has already considered it on the way here.

 We still have a chance.

 If we want to win, we must at least be on Shouchun's side first, relying on the Huai River, to block the advance of the Qin army for three years.

 If we can hold off the Qin army for three years, the counties in the south of the Yangtze River we have gained can be digested and absorbed by us.

 At that time, we can compete with the Qin army for the world. "

 Zhang Liang said with deep eyes.

 "But, Zifang, how can we hold off the Qin army for three years? Once the Qin army launches an offensive from the other side, we probably won't be able to stop it for half a year."

 Xiao He on the side poured cold water.

 "Our strength alone will definitely not work, so we need allies."

 "Allies? Who? Han Xin, Xiang Yu?

 Both of them have been killed by the Qin army, so what if they form an alliance with them.

 In his heyday, Han Xin owned Linzi and Handan, two affluent places, with more than 20 troops, strong and strong, and joined hands with Xiang Yu, but he was not defeated by the Qin army in the end.

 Now, Xiang Yu fled back to Jiangdong, barely surviving, and Han Xin lingered even more, without even a territory.

 What is the use of such an ally! "

 Chen Ping said angrily from the side.

 "Chen Ping, this statement is wrong!

 Xiang Yu and Han Xin, with one martial arts and one literary work, are actually rare figures in this world.

 They lost to the Qin army, it can only be said that the Emperor Qin was too cunning.

 If these two people are willing to join forces with us, they can still pose a considerable threat to the Qin army.

 Besides, the allies I am talking about are not just these two people. "

 Zifang smiled slightly, and didn't mind Chen Ping's rebuttal.

 "We have other allies?"

 "Have."

 "The Confucianism in Qidi in the north has always been incompatible with the Tyrant Qin. This is the hatred formed by Yingzheng back then.

 Although Confucianism does not have soldiers and horses, but if we can form an alliance with Confucianism, we will have the participation of Confucianism.

 The land of Qi, which Qin Jun had just acquired, could not live in peace.

 At that time, we will inform Han Xin again, let him return to Qi in secret, gather the old troops, and raise the flag to make trouble, so that a large number of Qin troops can be restrained. "

 "Okay, that's a good idea."

 After Chen Ping listened, he also praised it.

 "Except for the Confucianists in Qi, you have all forgotten that there is still a huge force hidden in the land of Nanyue to the south of us.

 And they are the last allies we will unite. "
