Competing

Chapter 468 Give him a Favor

Traces were found in the direction of Hengshan country and along the riverside?
Hearing such a report, Long Qi couldn't help being surprised, what's the situation, could it be that there are two teams?
Wu Rui, the prince of the Hengshan Kingdom in the west, is the father-in-law of Yingbu. He has every motive to rescue his daughter and grandson. This can be explained fluently.

Is it just that the Hengshan Congress has such strength?Long Qi didn't believe this, and he didn't even believe that Wu Rui would be calm enough to send troops.But what happened to the traces of the army?

To the south is the riverside, and after crossing the river is Jiangdong.Jiujiang Kingdom originally had land in the south of the great river, and it is possible to take refuge in Nandu.It's just that during this period of time, the Yue Kingdom's westward expedition has caused a lot of noise. The land has long been occupied by the Yue Kingdom, and the southern Jiujiang Kingdom has no ability to come to the rescue.

Could it be that the mysterious cavalry team is from Yue?

Thinking of this, Long Qi couldn't help but feel a little nervous. The Yue Kingdom has now occupied the entire south, and its strength is no longer what it used to be.He knew the extraordinaryness of Yue King Yin Xu. With Yin Xu's ingenuity and surprise, it is entirely possible to create a powerful cavalry.Moreover, it is an indisputable fact that the cavalry broke Si Yao during the process of unifying Jiangdong in the Yue Kingdom.

Could it be that they are really Vietnamese?It's just how come the Vietnamese people just happened to appear here?Could it be that they have already stationed troops in Jiangbei?If that was the case, I didn't realize it at all.

More importantly, why did they rescue Yingbo's family?Is there such a need?And judging from the course of action, if it is what the Yue people say, it must have been prepared and planned carefully.Otherwise, how could it be possible to cross the south of the Yangtze River and return in such a short period of time? With so many horses and soldiers, the ships must have been ready long ago.

So how much thought did the Vietnamese people spend on this matter?How much preparation have you made?Long Qie suddenly felt a little scared. Yin Xu really did things without knowing the end, which made him puzzled at all.

The most worrying thing is the mysterious cavalry. If it is really Yue cavalry, then it can be seen that Yue has mastered very advanced weapon technology.As far as the cavalry is concerned, the Yue State is already far above the Western Chu State.Before, they had always been proud that they broke Liu Bang's 56 army with cavalry.The cavalry is also an existence they are proud of, but now it looks worthless in front of this mysterious cavalry.

Before Hengshan and Yue, he was more willing to believe that it was the people of Yue who did it.

As for the possibility of the Han army's suspicious formation, he has basically completely ruled it out.The cavalry of the Han army has just begun to develop, and its combat effectiveness will never reach this level.

This matter is most likely what the Yue State said, and as for the Hengshan State, it seems that it should be verified.Long Qi immediately ordered: "Xiang Sheng, quickly lead a team to pursue westward to see if Hengshan is involved in this matter? Remember that you can only pursue, but you cannot enter the territory of Hengshan. Before there is an order, you must not start lightly." end of the war."

Xiang Sheng just made a mistake, as soon as he heard Long Qi's order, he immediately went to execute it.

Long Qi stood up and ordered: "Bury the fallen soldiers on the spot!"

Standing where he was, his mood was very complicated. The war in Jiujiang Kingdom was over.The land of Jiujiang has also been taken, but it is a bit of a fly in the ointment to let Yingbo and his wife and children escape like this.

In fact, this was considered a great achievement and something to be happy about, but after the mysterious cavalry rescue happened last night, the situation suddenly changed.The sudden incident swept away the excitement in Long Qie's heart, and then cast a shadow over it.Hengshan Kingdom and Yue Kingdom suddenly stepped in, and things got a little complicated.

Especially the combat effectiveness of the Yue cavalry, and their series of actions in the south. Now the strength of the Yue country has reached the point where it can compete with the Chu country.This is definitely a terrifying thing. What if the Vietnamese army raided Huainan during the battle with the Han army?
Long Qie was suddenly very scared, and now he had to report the news to Pengcheng as soon as possible, and Ba Wang and Yafu had to be aware of such an important matter.

……

Yingbo escaped, and the price was very heavy. Tens of thousands of soldiers were surrounded, and only a few hundred people actually rushed out.

It was quite tragic. Sitting in an unknown mountain forest in Huainan, Ying Bu, Sui He, and hundreds of soldiers all sat on the ground to rest.

Even though they escaped from the Chu army's pursuit overnight, they almost lost half of their lives.

Now they are all downcast, sitting on the ground and taking the time to recover their strength.

Yingbo was in a very disappointed mood. The six counties were lost like this. From today onwards, there would be no Jiujiang Kingdom in the world. The name of the King of Jiujiang has also become history. To him, it is more like a kind of irony.

Maybe such a day was expected on the day the war started, Yingbu sneered, his smile was very bitter.But in a few months, it ended like this.

It's like this now, whatever!Ying Bu is now most concerned about the safety of his wife and son, and wonders whether they have arrived in Hengshan safely.

Now there is no extravagance, the only hope is the safety of the family and members of the team.

Sui He was born as a literati, and his physical strength was even worse. Last night, he ran with all his strength in order to escape for his life, and now he has almost collapsed.

"Nine...General Yingbu, what should we do next, follow me to Xingyang!"

In an instant, the name of Yingbo also changed. Now Jiujiang Kingdom no longer exists, and Jiujiang King no longer exists.

The sudden change of address made Yingbo startled, and then he came to his senses.While smiling wryly, he had a clearer understanding of Sui He's mercenaryism and indifference.

Go to Han country?How can Liu Bang take advantage of going to the Han Dynasty in this state?The anger accumulated in Yingbu's heart has almost reached its peak, and now it is almost about to explode.

"Sir, let's go back first. Yingbo will go to Hengshan to meet his wife and children first, and then hide in the mountains and forests..."

"Eh? General, are you willing?" Sui He was very surprised that Yingbo couldn't stand the blow like this?
Yingbu didn't answer, and then left with his troops, not caring about any shouts.

Poor Mr. Sui He is alone like this, with only one or two entourages left around him, and the road back to Xingyang is still far away.Yingbo walked like this, Suhe suddenly felt like crying without tears.

……

While Yingbo was thinking about his wife and children, the big ship had crossed the river and entered Penglize.

The city of Hongdu was built here, and the navy and civilian docks of the State of Yue were built in Penglize.The river is turbulent, and the port is calmer and safer within the waves of the lake.Moreover, Peng Lize is also a good base for their navy training, so they won't be disturbed.

After the boat docked, Du Shang took Wu Mei, mother and son ashore, and little Yingjie looked at this strange land curiously.

When the garrison and boatmen at the pier saw Captain Du coming back, they naturally didn't dare to neglect, and came to help see if there was anything that needed to be moved.It turned out that two thousand horses came out of the cabin of the large cargo ship. They were all amazed and couldn't help but froze.Under Du Shang's urging, he began to lead the horse to tidy up.

"I didn't expect to go to Jiangbei and bring back so many horses? Du Shang, you can do it!"

A familiar voice sounded, and when Du Shang looked up, he realized that King Yue had been standing nearby at some point.

Yin Xu had a plan to move the capital, so he came to Hongdu to arrange affairs, and at the same time, he paid close attention to the development of the war between Jiujiang Kingdom and Linjiang Kingdom.

Seeing that Du Shang came back with two thousand war horses, he couldn't help being overjoyed.

Du Shang smiled and said: "Xiang Sheng gave us a gift, so the general will not hesitate to transport it back!"

"Okay, very good! The widow will give you an extra credit!" Yin Xu asked with a smile: "How is the battle in Jiujiang?"

"The six counties are broken, and the land of Huainan belongs to Chu. Yingbo has escaped, but his whereabouts are unknown!" Du Shang reported.

Yin Xu asked again, "Where are Yingbu's family?"

"It has been rescued safely, it has come!" Du Shang pointed to the distance immediately, Yin Xu followed his gaze and saw a young woman holding a child in her arms, it was Wu Mei.

Yin Xu asked, "Have you ever exposed your identities?"

Du Shang nodded and said, "No, absolutely not!"

"Good job!" Yin Xu hesitated a little, and then said: "But now, we should directly declare to the world that we rescued Yingbo's family!"

Du Shang was suddenly puzzled: "Your Majesty, why did you do this? Over there in the Western Chu Kingdom?"

Yin Xu smiled lightly and said, "Are we still afraid of the Western Chu Kingdom? Even if Xiang Yu knows, what can we do? The key lies in Yingbo. Yingbo has successfully broken through, where is he most likely to go?"

"Xingyang?"

"Not bad!" Yin Xu nodded and said, "Such a talented person, wouldn't it be a bit wronged to go to Liu Bang's side! If he knew that his wife and children were in Jiangdong, he would probably come here uninvited, and we would be able to save a lot of trouble. And It seems that the Hengshan Kingdom has also sent troops. If we don't say it, it doesn't seem very good for Wu Rui to take the blame.

With Longqie's current strength, it is not difficult to destroy the Hengshan Kingdom. In the end, Wu Rui and his son might hate us.Hengshan Kingdom exists independently, and it may be of great use in the future.So we have to try our best to preserve them. Without a suitable excuse, it is not easy to send troops directly.And since we saved Wu Rui's daughter and grandson, let's say it openly and give Wu Rui a favor, maybe it will be useful in the future. "

Du Shang nodded and said: "Your Majesty's words are very reasonable, but the general will not think carefully in the end!"

Yin Xu smiled and said: "It's okay, you have done a good job! There are two great achievements this time, and I will remember them for you."

Du Shang chuckled, this time it was a mistake!
Yin Xu said: "Okay, I'm going to meet Wu Mei now. You are fighting with the cavalry of Chu State, and I will tell you about the process and experience of the battle later!"
