"Haha, Meng Qi, you seem to be happy too early."

 Huang Zhong, who was in the distance, put away his longbow, said with a proud face, and laughed.

 "What are you laughing at, the one who cut off the thief's head, but me, I won this time."

 Ma Chao turned his head and said to Huang Zhong.

 "Ma Chao, you are so shameless. That thief was shot to death by me first, and then you took the head. I should win."

 When Huang Zhong heard what Ma Chao said, he immediately became unhappy and retorted.

 "We have agreed before that whoever takes down the head of the rebel commander first will win, and this is what you said.

 Look now, I beheaded the thief, of course I won.

 So what if you shoot him first with an arrow, we bet there is no one to kill him first. "

 Ma Chao gave Huang Zhong a white look, and said so.

 "Hey, Ma Chao, I didn't expect your sophistry skills to be really good at it!

 Anyway, I shot him first, and I won the bet, so don't try to renege on it. "

 Huang Zhong laughed angrily when he heard Ma Chao's statement.

 "Nonsense, I won."

 "I won."

 As a result, in the end, neither of the two could convince the other, and neither was willing to admit defeat, so they simply ended in a tie.

 Immediately, Ma Chao and Huang Zhong returned to Gaonu City with the remaining heads.

 When they returned to Gaonu City, they saw the cavalry of the Qin Army team chasing all the way out, leading the army back one by one.

 These cavalrymen of the Qin Army not only brought back many war horses, but their waists were covered with hideous and bloody heads, which were their military exploits.

 These Qin army cavalry were chasing, and after killing those Yiqu cavalry, they would only bring back two things, the horse and the head.

 At the same time, they also captured many Yiqu cavalry.

 Then, Ma Chao and Huang Zhong led the army, escorted the prisoners, and stationed in Gaonu City, where they were welcomed by the soldiers and civilians in the city.

 Originally, at this time in Gaonu City, there were only two thousand Qin soldiers defending.

 If it wasn't for Ma Chao and Huang Zhong who led their troops to arrive in time, Gaonu City probably wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

 After all, the disparity in the strength of the two sides is too great. Even if these Yiqu cavalry are not very good at attacking the city, they are still enough to take down Gaonu.

 In the final battle, the [-] cavalry of the Qin Army under Huang Zhong's command paid a meager price of more than [-] cavalry casualties, in exchange for the destruction of the [-] Yiqu cavalry army and the beheading of the remaining commander of the Yiqu cavalry commander.

 Among them, the Qin army killed more than [-] Yiqu soldiers and cavalry, and captured more than [-] people, and the rest were all fled.

 "Come on, hurry up and tell His Majesty the good news."

 Huang Zhong sent someone to bring this good news to Xianyang City.

 After Huang Zhong led the army to enter Gaonu, Ma Chao and Jia Xu did not go north immediately, but chose to rest in Gaonu City for a few days, and then set off for the Jiuyuan Great Wall.

Chapter 85

 85 The king of Xinyi Qu, brave but not scheming

 [New book please recommend for collection! 】

 At the end of December in the fourth year of Qin II.

 (To explain here, in Qin Dynasty, October is the first day of the year, that is, October [-]st is New Year's Day, which is the first day of the new year.

 In other words, after September of the third year of Qin II, and in October, it will be called Qin II's fourth year in terms of time.

 I didn’t seem to pay attention to this before. There are a few points of time that have not been changed. It is still used for the third year of Qin Ershi. Please correct it here, and there is nothing wrong here. )

 The news that Huang Zhong and Ma Chao teamed up to defeat [-] Yiqu cavalry in Gaonu and beheaded the commander's remnant soon spread.

 A few days later, Yili, the king of Xinyiqu, who was in Fushi city behind at this time, learned about it.

 "What? Brother Wang is dead?"

 King Xinyi Qu was a burly, middle-aged man dressed in the clothes of the Rong tribe, with a rough appearance. After hearing the sad news, he was furious.

 The generals below all held their breath and concentrated, not daring to speak.

 This King of Xinyiqu was a tyrant. He was originally just a general in the Northland.

 When Xiang Yu destroyed the main army of the Great Qin Dynasty and the end of the Great Qin Dynasty was imminent, he raised the banner of rebellion, claiming to be a descendant of the former King Yiqu, and punished the officials of the Qin Dynasty in all parts of the Northland.

 He even designed to trick the leaders of several Rong tribes in the north into one, forcing them to rebel with him.

 But all those who opposed him were killed by him with brutal means.

 In the end, under Yi Li's coercion, more than 20 Rong tribes, large and small, all followed him and participated in the rebellion.

 The only two small tribes that refused to participate had been slaughtered by the widow Li's soldiers.

 In fact, among the Yiqurong tribes in the north, many small and medium-sized tribes did not want to rebel.

 Because, they felt that life under the rule of Daqin was much more comfortable before.

 But they had no choice but to submit to the threat of the tyrant's widow.

 Yi Li is a typical martial artist at this time, he is not good at using tricks, he doesn't know how to be soft, and he does things simply and rudely.

 He used strong means to unite the various tribes and tribes, and established himself as the queen. He immediately led the army to attack Shangjun, and planned to occupy Shangjun as well. He had great ambitions.

 After entering Shangjun, he split up with his younger brother Yuyu soldiers, and Yili led an army of [-] to attack Fushi City, the county seat of Shangjun.

 And let his younger brother Yu Yu lead an army of [-] to attack Gao Nu.

 As a result, not long after Yi Li led the army up to Fushi City, he heard such a bad news that he almost ran away.

 "The king ordered that the army gather to go south and attack Gaonu City. This king wants to wash Gaonu City with blood, kill the general Qin there alive, and avenge the king's brother."

 Yi Li immediately issued an order to withdraw his troops from Fushi City, leading the army to kill Gao Nu and avenge his dead brother.

 But from this point of view, Yi Li is not a qualified commander and is too easily influenced by his own emotions.

 At this time, their army finally braved the severe cold to arrive at the city of Fushi, spent two days building siege equipment, and was about to launch a siege.

 As a result, in order to avenge his younger brother, Yi Li had to give up his upcoming attack and go south to attack Gao Nu, which was simply unacceptable for other Yi Qurong generals.

 It's a pity that those who know Yi Li's tyrannical character very well, although they are very opposed to Yi Li's order in their hearts, they dare not raise it, so they have to follow it.

 Soon, the [-] Yi Qurong army outside Fushi City withdrew, throwing away the siege equipment they had worked so hard to build in the past two days.

 This made the soldiers of the Qin army in Fushi City very puzzled, but they were also extremely happy.

 Without any reason, these Yi Qurong troops withdrew, and they were safe.

 In this way, Fushi City, which was in danger, escaped.

 Just when the king of Xinyiqu got his brother killed in battle and led his army south to Gaonu in anger, this news of victory was also sent to Xianyang.

 "Haha, Huang Zhong and Ma Chao just arrived in Gaonu, and they sent me good news.

 Five thousand breaks twenty thousand, beheading the enemy commander, well, worthy of being the five tiger generals. "

 In Zhangtai Palace, Xu Feng was holding the good news that had just been delivered in his hand at this time, laughing loudly, and greatly praised Ma Chao and Huang Zhong.

 In front of a wooden table in the main hall, Guo Jia was sitting there, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, the past few days have been filled with good news!"

 Before Xu Feng received Huang Zhong and Ma Chao's Gaonu victory, he also received an urgent report from Li You from Hangu Pass, learning that Xiang Yu had withdrawn from Luoyang and returned to Pengcheng.

 And, the good news that Wang Yong sent back from Yong County in the west, in the battle with Liu Bang's general Li Shang, he won the first battle, regained the two cities of Guo County and Chencang, and marched to the city of Yong County.

 Now it can be regarded as Gao Nu's great victory, which can be said to be three blessings, which makes Xu Feng feel particularly good.

 However, Xu Feng was not overjoyed by just a victory for Gao Nu, and even after he was happy, he was worried about Huang Zhong's side.

 "Feng Xiao, I'm still worried about Huang Zhong.

 Although he won the first battle, he defeated the [-] Yiqu army and killed the younger brother of the Xinyiqu king's widow Li, making great contributions.

 But what was defeated in this battle was not the main force of the Yiqu army. According to my information, the northern army can mobilize at least [-] troops.

 The widowed Li led [-] troops this time and attacked Shangjun. At this time, Yili still had [-] troops under his command, and the situation in Shangjun was still critical.

 But within a short period of time, I really can't mobilize troops to support Huang Zhong. I don't know if Huang Zhong can hold on in Shangjun. "

 Xu Feng, who had calmed down, said to Guo Jia with a solemn expression.

 "Well, His Majesty is able to remain calm and has a clear understanding of the situation in Shangjun. I am very pleased."

 Hearing what Xu Feng said, Guo Jia also said with a smile.

 "There is nothing we can do about the situation in Shangjun, we can only look at General Huang.

 But as long as General Huang can survive this winter, and Wei Chen guarantees that the rebellion in the North will be easily resolved. "

 "Oh? Why did Feng Xiao make such a statement? Tell me quickly, have you come up with a good plan again?"

 When Xu Feng heard what Guo Jia said, he immediately became interested and asked impatiently.

 "Your Majesty, the reason why I said this is mainly because of two reasons.

 First, after this winter, I believe that the abilities of Ma Chao and Jia Xu are enough to subdue the [-] Great Wall troops in Jiuyuan in the north.

 At that time, Ma Chao, who has rectified the Jiuyuan Great Wall Army, can lead a cavalry southward at any time to help Huang Zhong, or directly attack the hinterland of the Northland.

 Second, His Majesty can use tactics to win over and divide the Rong tribes in the north.

 According to Weichen's investigations sent to the Northland in the past half month, he learned that not all the Rong tribes in the Northland really rebelled.

 Many tribes were coerced by Wei Li and had to be tied to his chariot.

 After Yi Li raised his army, he used brutal methods and directly slaughtered the two small tribes that opposed him to deter other Yiqurong tribes, so he had to obey his orders.

 But in fact, these tribal leaders had long been dissatisfied with the widow Li.

 Now, His Majesty can take advantage of Yi Li's attack on Shangjun and send an eloquent person to the Northland to secretly persuade those tribes who are close to the imperial court.

 He promised that as long as they were willing to cooperate anyway, they would not be held accountable for the crime of treason, and even after the extermination of Yi Li, they could break up the tribes under his command and distribute them to them.

 Wei Chen believed that the leaders of these tribes would probably be unable to resist this temptation and would agree.

 At that time, the backyard caught fire, and the enemy's widows could not escape destruction.

 In Wei Chen's view, Yi Li is a brave man without strategy, and it is difficult to become a great weapon.

 Therefore, Weichen said that as long as Huang Zhong can survive this winter in Shangjun, the rebellion in the Northland can be put down. "

 "Haha, after listening to Feng Xiao's explanation, I have a feeling of seeing the blue sky through the clouds and mists.

 In this case, I will leave it to Feng Xiao to send people to the Northland to persuade those tribal leaders. "

 "promise."

 "As for Huang Zhong, I will send someone to tell him that no matter what, he must stick to Shangjun until the beginning of spring.

 After Zhao Yun's injury is better, I will see the situation and let Zhao Yun go to support him. "

 Guo Jia nodded after listening, approving Xu Feng's approach.

 "Your Majesty, it's already noon, shouldn't it be time for you to eat?"

 After solving the problem of Yi Li, Guo Jia suddenly said this to Xu Feng.

 After hearing Guo Jia's words, Xu Feng stared at him: "Feng Xiao, you don't want to come to me for dinner again, do you?"

 In the past few days, Guo Jia often came to the Xianyang Palace to 'cook a meal', but he actually came here for Baihua Niang.

 Guo Jia had finished drinking the Hundred Flowers Brew that Xu Feng bestowed on Guo Jia a few days ago.

 After drinking Baihua Niang, Guo Jia never drank other wines.

 But in the entire Xianyang City, only Xu Feng's Xianyang Palace now has the Baihua Brew in storage, which cannot be bought with money.

 Guo Jia could only use the idea of ​​Baihua Nong in Xu Feng Palace, and Xu Feng knew this very well.

 Now Guo Jia was a little embarrassed by Xu Feng's words, so he laughed: "Hehe, what did your majesty say.

 Doesn't this minister think that His Majesty has received good news and good news one after another in the past few days, so he should celebrate it! "

 However, Xu Feng is in a good mood today, and intends to satisfy Guo Jia and have a few drinks with him.

 "Come here, go and get a pot of Baihua Brewing, and I'll have a few more drinks with Feng Xiao today."

 "Haha, thank you, Your Majesty." Guo Jia cheered up.
