Jinzhou City gradually calmed down.

The people looked at the conquerors with some timidity. When they discovered that they were not the evil spirits officially promoted, they were inevitably relieved.

"The King of Qin said that we are all one family!"

After the Northern Xinjiang Army opened its warehouses to stock up on food, all worries about the conquerors dissipated, and some even shouted that His Highness would live a thousand years longer.

Han Ji looked at the people happily accepting the grains, shouting in the direction of the state that His Highness is a thousand years old, and said: "For the people, as long as the conquerors of the same culture and race are kinder, they will soon forget about the Southern Zhou Dynasty!"

He Lianrong said: "The people of the Southern Zhou Dynasty have not had a hard time these years, otherwise why would Nian Xu go to war to implement the new policy?"

"His Royal Highness is marching south at this time. This is destiny!" Han Ji said with a smile.

"Mr. Han, master." A petty official found them and said, "His Highness has given orders to discuss matters."

"Come right away." Han Ji nodded and left slowly with He Lianrong.

"He Lianyan has been very close to you recently?" Han Ji asked with a smile.

"Do you think she can take charge of the Imperial Guard?" He Lianrong said.

Both of them were from Northern Liao, but the so-called alliance was just for self-protection. Whenever He Lianrong dared to show any ambition, He Lianyan would report it to the King of Qin immediately.

"Yeah?"

"That's right."

The two of them smiled.

"Nian Xu's prestige was shaken, and he was panicked, so he forced Han Bi to go to war as soon as possible and use the victory to suppress Peng Jing and others."

In the hall, all the ministers gathered. King Qin sat at the top, with A Liang beside him.

The King of Qin glanced at the ministers and said, "Ringgu is not in a hurry. Jinzhou, Xinzhou, and Yongzhou formed a pin shape to defend Bianjing. Now that Jinzhou has fallen, this pin shape is missing one side and one leg is lame."

Gu Jin can force Yongzhou into force or sweep across Xinzhou. But Han Bi is in some trouble. If he follows Gu, then he has to be careful that Gu will set a trap at any time to trick him."

Surround the place to call for help!

Everyone will smile when they hear this.

"Your Highness, I think we can attack Yongzhou directly now. Once Yongzhou is conquered, our army will be able to reach Yingshui."

Jiang Cunzhong's attitude is more radical.

"That's not appropriate." He Lianrong said: "If we attack Yongzhou, Hanbi's army will be on the side, and the Xinzhou defenders can also cooperate to give our army a blow. This is too risky."

"It's so fast!"

"Gu, don't be anxious!" King Qin expressed his stance, "After defeating Xinzhou, Han Bi will have no room for maneuver and will have no choice but to fight Gu!"

"Xinzhou is difficult to fight!" Jiang Cunzhong smiled bitterly, "Among the three states, Xinzhou is the strongest."

"Come up and attack." King Qin pointed at Helian Yan, "The Jinyi Guards have been prepared."

He Lianyan left the mission and said: "Just before the army went south, I, the Jin Yiwei, found out about the falsehoods of various garrison officials in the Southern Zhou Dynasty. Xinzhou garrison Huang Chi had a bad temper, while Zhizhou Ma Qun had a literary reputation and often scolded Huang Chi for being

A thief with an army. Huang Chi had a bad temper... he contradicted him many times and was beaten by the horse group."

King Qin waved his hand, and Helian Yan retreated.

"In normal times, this configuration is fine, but this is wartime." King Qin said: "Huang Chi has a bad temper and has been humiliated many times by the horses. He already holds a grudge..."

King Qin smiled and said: "The secret spies of Jin Yiwei have already been in place!"

…

"Let Xinzhou defend to the death!"

Han Bi ordered the messenger to rush to Xinzhou, and his staff said: "Huang Chi has a bad temper, and Ma Qun's temper is also bad. How about replacing him?"

"It is taboo to change generals on the spot." Han Bi shook his head and ordered the messenger, "I warn you two that peace is the most precious thing!"

"yes!"

Han Bi looked at the map, "Hold on to Xinzhou and I will lead the army... His Majesty said that an army of 40,000 is ready to be dispatched and will join our army in a few days. With an army of 100,000, I will fight the King of Qin!"

He spoke with great enthusiasm, but there was a look of helplessness between his eyebrows.

These 40,000 troops were Nian Xu's urging order.

You said there are few people and horses, I will give it to you!

Is it enough?

What else could Han Bi say?

I can only thank you!

Then plan a fight.

"Urge the 40,000 troops to arrive in time."

"yes!"

Han Bi yawned. He had not been sleeping well recently and woke up easily.

He cheered up and said, "As soon as the 40,000 reinforcements arrive, I will order them to attack Jinzhou."

"Attack Jinzhou?"

The staff were stunned.

"Yes." Han Bi pointed to the road between Jinzhou and Xinzhou on the map and said: "All the King Qin's baggage is in Jinzhou. He doesn't dare to make any mistakes. He will definitely lead his army to come back for reinforcements. And I will lead the army in Jinzhou.

Intercepted halfway. Then, the Shinshu Army came out of the city to attack..."

Han Bi looked at his staff and said, "I will attack the enemy from all three sides in this battle. If we attack the enemy, we will save it. If we fail to win, it means God is not blessing us!"

The staff thought carefully, "Now, everything depends on whether King Qin will take the lead in attacking Yongzhou."

"If he abandons Xinzhou and attacks Yongzhou, I will attack him with all my strength from behind." Han Bi sneered, "King Qin will definitely not dare. I conclude that his next step will be to attack Xinzhou."

There were sounds of footsteps and a sergeant came in.

"Prime Minister Han, the Northern Xinjiang Army has been dispatched."

"Where are you going?" Han Bi asked.

"Shinshu!"

…

Xinzhou has a long history, dating back to the founding of the Southern Zhou Dynasty.

Originally, Xinzhou was an important stronghold on the north bank of Yingshui River, so it was built quite solidly.

After the founding of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, the founding emperor felt that Xinzhou had deviated from the direction of protecting Bianjing, and was worried that the Tang Dynasty would take the opportunity to cross Yingshui and reach Bianjing, so he built Yongzhou City.

As a result, Shinshu's status declined.

But if it drops any further, Xinzhou is still very close to Bianjing.

Like the Tang Dynasty, officials in the Southern Zhou Dynasty all hoped to stay in the capital, but there were only so many official positions in the capital, and their relationships were not strong enough, so they had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and seek to serve as officials around Bianjing.

And Shinshu has become a favorite in the eyes of these people.

Ma Qun's path to the imperial examination was not smooth, but his poetry was quite outstanding and he was well-known in the literary circles of Bianjing.

It wasn't until the fifth imperial examination that Ma Qun stood out.

He had a literary name and many friends. He was very good at swimming in various swimming styles in the official world, and he swam smoothly all the way to the position of governor.

Ma Qun originally wanted to stay in Bianjing, but his rank was too high and it was impossible for the elders in Bianjing to make room for him before he fell, so he came to Xinzhou.

The gentle horses walked into the state house and asked, "Where is that thief with the army?"

The accompanying official said: "Envoy Huang is under the command of Dian Dian."

Ma Qun sneered and said, "Let me know when he comes."

"yes!"

As soon as the horses entered the check-in room, Han Bi's envoy arrived.

"Is the yellow defense envoy here?"

the messenger asked.

The horses asked displeasedly: "Why do you want that thief to join the army?"

The messenger smiled and said: "This is the order of Prime Minister Han!"

Ma Qun then asked people to summon Huang Chi.

Not long after, the sound of heavy footsteps and the scraping of armor could be heard outside.

"I didn't make any mistakes today, what do you want me to do?"

Amidst the roar of filial piety, Huang Chi, a tall man with a thick beard, strode in.

"This is the envoy of Prime Minister Han, accept your vulgarity!" Ma Qun said coldly.

The messenger coughed dryly and said, "Mr. Han, tell me."
