　86 Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo's Little Thoughts

　[New book please recommend for collection! 】

　After Xu Feng learned that Xiang Yu did not attack Hangu Pass again, but divided the kings in Luoyang, he withdrew his hometown Pengcheng and established himself as the Overlord of Western Chu.

　This undoubtedly surprised Xu Feng. Originally, Xu Feng thought that Xiang Yu would not give up easily and would attack Guanzhong again.

　Therefore, Xu Feng left Li You and the main force of the [-] Qin army at Hangu Pass to guard the east gate of the pass.

　Facing the kings entrusted by Xiang Yu in Luoyang, after Xu Feng received the news in Xianyang, no matter how happy he was, he issued an edict not to recognize these false kings entrusted by Xiang Yu.

　Even at this time, Daqin is different from the past, lost the land of the six kingdoms of Shandong, and retreated back to Guanzhong.

　But this world still belongs to Daqin, which is on the level of righteousness.

　"Xiang Yu withdrew from Luoyang to Pengcheng, and there will be no more fighting at Hangu Pass in a short time.

　In this way, I can transfer some troops from Hangu Pass to Shangjun to support Huang Zhong. "

　While drinking with Guo Jia, Xu Feng suddenly remembered this and said.

　"Well, that's okay, but Hangu Pass is now the east gate of our pass, we must not make mistakes, and we must beware of Xiang Yu's sneak attack on us.

　Therefore, even if His Majesty really wanted to withdraw troops from Hangu Pass, he could not withdraw too much, and the importance of Hangu Pass was the main one. "

　Guo Jia took a sip of Baihua Niang, and put down the cup reluctantly.

　"I know this. After a few days, I will ask Li You to bring back [-] soldiers from Hangu Pass, and then let Li You lead them to go north to support Huang Zhong."

　"Hey, there are still too few soldiers and horses in my hands, and the people sent to Lingnan to continue Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo have not returned for a long time. I feel more and more bad in my heart!"

　At this time, Xu Feng's Qin army was stretched and not enough, but there were 50 Qin army soldiers in Lingnan, which were useless at all, which made Xu Feng very upset.

　Not long after Xu Feng talked about it, news finally came back from the south.

　The missions of the Qin Army sent by Xu Feng to Lingnan to give orders to Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo finally returned to Xianyang.

　"Quick, let them in, what's going on in Lingnan?"

　Xu Feng couldn't wait to know what was going on in Lingnan.

　Soon, a hundred generals of the Qin army were brought in. This person was the general Xu Feng sent to preach the decree to the south of the Five Ridges.

　"The humble Kou Hai sees His Majesty."

　"Kou Hai, this trip to Lingnan has been a tough journey."

　"Share your majesty's worries, and dare not speak out."

　"Going to Lingnan now, can you see Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo?"

　"Returning to Your Majesty, I met Lord Nanhai County Wei Renxiao and Lieutenant General Zhao Tuo, and read Your Majesty's will to them."

　Kou Hai replied truthfully.

　"What did Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo say?"

　"Lieutenant Ren accepted His Majesty's order, but he has been reluctant to let General Zhao send troops north on the grounds that it will take time to mobilize the army and raise food and grass.

　The humble official urged me several times, but to no avail.

　In the end, even Ren Xiao directly claimed to be sick, and the humble staff couldn't even see him. "

　Hearing what Kou Hai said, Xu Feng couldn't help frowning.

　Obviously, it was mostly because Ren Xiao pretended to be sick on purpose, just an excuse for not wanting to send troops to the north.

　"and after?"

　"The humble job was delayed in Panyu City like this, and then things didn't turn around until the end of last month.

　At the end of last month, Ren Xiao's 'illness' suddenly recovered, and together with Zhao Tuo, he had another interview with the humble official.

　Ren Xiao told the humble official that they had mobilized 20 people and had enough food and grass, Zhao Tuo could lead the troops northward at any time. "

　"Hmph, at the end of last month, wasn't that just after the imperial conquest, after defeating Xiang Yu's 40 troops at Hangu Pass?

　It seems that Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo changed their minds when they learned that Xiang Yu was defeated at Hangu Pass and that my Great Qin was not destroyed. They were worried that I would settle accounts with them.

　These two guys are quite able to adapt to the wind. "

　Xu Feng couldn't help sneering, and it was easy to guess the main reason why Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo suddenly changed their attitudes.

　Xu Feng did guess well.

　Last year, when Xiang Yu defeated the main force of Wang Li's Great Wall Army and wiped out Zhang Han's 30 prisoner army, Ren Xiao in Lingnan received the news.

　But at that time, Ren Xiao was also dissatisfied with Daqin's brutal rule, thinking that Daqin was doomed, so he didn't plan to lead the army north to rescue.

　Both Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo had made up their minds. Even if Daqin died, it would be difficult for Xiang Yu to take care of them, so as not to delay them from being the local emperor in Lingnan.

　It's really a big deal, when the time comes, send someone to surrender to Xiang Yu.

　Afterwards, Kou Hai arrived at Panyu City in Nanhai County with Xu Feng's Edict of Guilt and King Qin's Order.

　Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo were also very surprised to learn that Xu Feng had killed Zhao Gao, but they still did not plan to send troops northward.

　They believed that it was too late for Hu Hai to repent and kill Zhao Gao at this time, and the Qin army could not stop the menacing Xiang Yu's army.

　Therefore, Ren Xiao pretended to be sick, delaying time, waiting for Xiang Yu to break through Xianyang.

　Then, towards the end of November, they received a piece of news that they couldn't believe.

　Xiang Yu was actually defeated by the Qin army led by Xu Feng at Hangu Pass, and Da Qin did not perish.

　At that time, Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo realized that their previous judgment was wrong.

　Since Daqin is not dead, they can no longer procrastinate and can only make a choice. In the end, Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo found Kou Hai and agreed to lead the army northward.

　But in fact, even at that time, Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo were still just putting on a show, coping with Xu Feng's imperial edict, and still had no intention of leading the army back to Xianyang.

　At this time, Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo already had the will to stand on their own, so how could they surrender so easily.

　Unless, at this time, Daqin can sweep Liuhe again and unify the world, it is estimated that Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo can be forced to surrender again.

　"When will Zhao Tuo's men return to Guanzhong?"

　At this time, Xu Feng didn't know this yet, thinking that Zhao Tuo would really lead the army back, which made him a little happy.

　As long as Zhao Tuo can really bring back 20 Qin troops, it will be a timely gift for Xu Feng.

　It's a pity that Kou Hai's answer later disappointed Xu Feng.

　"Return to Your Majesty, in a short time, General Zhao Tuo's army may not be able to return to Guanzhong."

　Having said that, Kou Hai hesitated a bit, for fear of offending Xu Feng.

　In the past, the image of Hu Hai acting recklessly and being terrifying and tyrannical was still imprinted in the hearts of these Great Qin generals, making them very afraid of Hu Hai.

　"Why?"

　Suddenly, Xu Feng's face darkened.

　"Your Majesty, because the route back to Xianyang from the South China Sea is now in the territory of Xiang Yu and the false king Linjiang Wang Gongao.

　General Zhao Tuo led the army. If he wanted to return to Xianyang, he had to fight back from south to north. I am afraid it will not be easy.

　Therefore, the humble official said that it is impossible for General Zhao to lead the army back to Xianyang in a short period of time. "

　With Xiang Yu enfeoffing the fifteen princes, Xianyang's side and Ren Xiao's side were indeed cut off, with a large piece of land in between.

　At this time, Ren Xiao was the first captain of Nanhai County in the Great Qin Dynasty, and at the same time controlled the three counties of Nanhai, Xiangjun and Guilin, with Panyu (that is, today's Guangzhou area) as the county government.

　One is in the north and the other is in the south, with Hanzhong, Bashu, and the entire Chu State in the middle. It is indeed not easy to come back.

　This is what Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuoxin came up with to deal with Xu Feng's will.

　We also want to lead the army back, but the middle road is blocked by the enemy, we have no choice but to fight back slowly.

　Faced with such a reason, Xu Feng couldn't even blame Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo.

　However, familiarity with the history, coupled with Ren Xiao's procrastination and delay, made Xu Feng realize that these two people are no longer loyal to Daqin, but they have not rebelled openly.

　Xu Feng knew that Zhao Tuo's extravagant hope of bringing back 20 Qin troops was completely in vain.

　However, Xu Feng still asked Kou Hai to return to Lingnan and gave orders to Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo.

　"Kou Hai, tell Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo to immediately wipe out the rebels from the south."

　"promise."

　Xu Feng no longer had much hope for Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo to carry out his order.

　But now, Xu Feng can't take care of the two of them. The biggest enemy now is Xiang Yu and other rebels.

　Moreover, Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo did not rebel, and they were still generals of the Great Qin in name, so let them enjoy themselves in Lingnan first.

　"After I kill Xiang Yu and the others, I'll go back and deal with you two guys."

　Xu Feng was still a little angry, so he thought.

Chapter 87 Ma Chao and Jia Xu go north

　87 Ma Chao, Jia Xu Going North

　[New book please recommend for collection! 】

　In Shangjun, on the only way to the south of Fushi City, a 5 Yiqu cavalry was galloping past.

　Not far from the road, on a mountain ridge, Ma Chao and Jia Xu were standing on it on horseback at this time, watching the [-] Yiqu soldiers rolling down south.

　After Ma Chao and Jia Xu rested in Gaonu City for a day, they can go north to Jiuyuan.

　Huang Zhong sent [-] cavalry to protect them. What the two of them didn't expect was that after they crossed the mountains and went north for hundreds of miles, they encountered such a huge army going south.

　Fortunately, they found it in time and hid in the mountains, so they didn't collide head-on with this army of Yiqu Rong.

　"These are the troops of Yi Qurong? Why are they here?

　Didn't Huang Zhong get the news that they were attacking Fushi City? "

　Ma Chao looked at the Yiqurong army marching in the distance with a puzzled expression on his face.

　Originally, after Huang Zhong and Ma Chao defeated the remaining [-] Yiqu cavalry in Gaonu, they got the news from the officials in Gaonu City.

　It was learned that another Yiqu Rong army, led by the new Yiqu King, was heading north to Fushi City.

　But unfortunately, Huang Zhong only had [-] cavalry in his hands, and he was very lucky to defeat the remaining [-] Yi Qurong army in the first battle.

　Therefore, Huang Zhong knew in his heart that the city of Fushi in the north would probably be lost.

　However, Huang Zhong believed that once Li Li from the north captured Fushi City and learned that his own brother had died in the battle at Gaonu, he would definitely go south for revenge.

　Therefore, Huang Zhong decided to make preparations in Gaonu, waiting for the king of Yiqu to lead the army to take revenge.

　This is also one of the main reasons why Ma Chao and Jia Xu rushed to Jiuyuan without stopping.

　Ma Chao rushed to Jiuyuan in a hurry, took office as the chief general of Jiuyuan's [-] Great Wall Army, and then led some troops to the south to help Huang Zhong, otherwise Huang Zhong would probably not be able to defend Gaonu in the end.

　"Look at the king's flag, this is the man of the Xinyiqu king who caused trouble in the Northland."

　Jia Xu on the side rode on a horse and pointed to a handsome flag erected among the marching army in the distance. It was the handsome flag of the Xinyiqu king's legacy.

　"It's really the man of King Xinyiqu, shouldn't he be leading the army to attack Fushi City at this time?

　Could it be that he took down Fushi City so quickly, because he went south to seek revenge from Huang Zhong? "

　Ma Chao had a bad feeling in his heart, and said to Jia Xu.

　"Who knows, if Fushi City has really fallen at this time, then the situation in Shangjun will be more critical than we expected.

　Let's go north to Jiuyuan to complete our duties. General, you will prepare food and grass and lead the army south. It will take a month and a half at the shortest.

　Originally, we thought that the king of Xinyiqu would have to spend at least half a month in Fushi City, but now we are obviously wrong.

　By the time we arrived at Jiuyuan, most of this army had already reached Gaonu City.

　With the soldiers and horses in Huang Zhong's hands, if there is no support from His Majesty, I want to hold on to Gaonu City for a month, and you, General, will lead the army to rush to support.

　Xu speculates that the probability is no more than [-]%.

　Huang Zhong is in danger, Gao Nu is in danger, Shangjun is in danger! "

　Jia Xu sighed and said.

　At this time, there were not many cities in Shangjun, and most of them were wastelands and jungles. The population of the entire county was only one million.
