After becoming bolder, Lu Jia used a catapult to dig two passages on this stretching mountain range, and widened the previous passage that could only accommodate two cavalry and a chariot side by side, and set it into a shape like a closed door. From a distance, it looked like the Great Wall between the Great Qin and the Huns, but this naturally formed Great Wall looked much more majestic than the Great Wall between the Huns and the Qin.

Lu Jia's political sense is still very keen. It turns out that he knew that Ying Gao's attack on the Mauryan Dynasty must be to allow some communication between the Qin Dynasty and the Mauryan Dynasty, so such a narrow channel is definitely not possible.

After learning that Chen Ping wanted to build a straight road from Bashu to the passage leading to the Mauryan Dynasty, Lu Jia began to expand the closing of the Qin Dynasty to the Mauryan Dynasty. When Han Xin and Xiang Yu arrived at the closing, these four towering and spacious closings had been built, which was incomparable to the two simple holes when they left before.

After the two of them entered the pass with their own troops, Lu Jia had already prepared it. Because Han Xin's letter had already arrived in the pass, Lu Jia knew that they were going to the Qin Dynasty to meet Ying Gao, so they did not prepare anything like a camp by them, but they just prepared a lot of food.

After entering this area, Xiang Yu discovered many clues. When he and Han Xin went from here to the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty, they were just a large area of ​​desolation.

But now, behind Lu Jia is not only the soldiers who were by his side before, but also many people he had never seen before. It seems that they should be the people of the Qin Dynasty. In Xiang Yu's opinion, what they are doing should be building roads. It is obvious that this is a path to the direction of Bashu in the Qin Dynasty, not the path to the Xiongnu where he is.

That night, Lu Jia explained this issue to Xiang Yu, claiming that this was the first time Ying Gao received a letter from Han Xin that they had easily attacked a city within the Mauryan Dynasty. After specially dispatched the straight road to Bashu, the important minister of the Qin Dynasty, Chen Ping, to the Great Qin Dynasty. Lu Jia also told Xiang Yu that Ying Gao had turned the part of the desolate land into a county of the Great Qin, called the Western Regions.

After hearing the news, Xiang Yu almost stayed up all night. What Ying Gao was doing was indeed not expected before, but not expecting it does not mean that this thing should not be done.

Xiang Yu really knew what kind of standard the straight road of the Qin Dynasty was. Xiang Yu probably knew how much manpower and material resources it would take to create a straight road in such a place. However, Ying Gao had already started doing such a thing that was basically unlikely to him.

And since there is a county here, immigration is a must. In other words, the Qin Dynasty has been developing this place for a long time, but what about its own Huns? It is still huddled in the court of the Huns.

Xiang Yu really knew that the people of the Qin Dynasty could build straight roads, but the Huns under his command basically knew nothing about this. Without straight roads, Xiang Yu knew how difficult it was to get from the Huns here. Thinking of this, he looked at the sky and began to understand it in his heart.

According to the original plan set by Han Xin and Xiang Yu, the two of them were going to separate in this place. Han Xin went to Bashu and returned to Xianyang to report some of the situation of the Mauryan Dynasty to Ying Gao, but Xiang Yu should return to the Xiongnu royal court to rectify the tribes and soldiers of the Xiongnu. Then Ying Gao and Xiang Yu then decided whether to meet through letters to solve the problem of how the desolate land and the Mauryan Dynasty were divided. In this way, the days when Xiang Yu and Ying Gao met basically would have to wait until three or four months later.

The next morning, Xiang Yu found Han Xin and expressed an idea that surprised Han Xin.

According to Xiang Yu, if Han Xin agreed, he would take a team of guards and Han Xin back to Xianyang City to meet Ying Gao, and let the cavalry he brought back go back to the Xiongnu royal court by himself, and then return to the Xiongnu from Xianyang through Shangjun after meeting Ying Gao.

As for the reason, according to Xiang Yu, since the Qin Dynasty had built a straight road and was about to be completed, they would definitely save a lot of time when they returned to Xianyang from the straight road. So he could save a lot of time when he went back with Han Xin. Moreover, after he decided with Ying Gao how to divide the desolate land and the land of the Mauryan Dynasty, he could also have a coordinated arrangement when he returned to the Huns.

Although Han Xin felt from Xiang Yu's eyes that this matter was probably not that simple, he did not ask in detail at this time. He knew that Xiang Yu must have something, but this matter would definitely not be harmful to the Qin Dynasty, because Xiang Yu followed him to Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Dynasty, and first put him in a dangerous place. Once Ying Gao turned against him in Xianyang City, even if Xiang Yu had great ability, it would be useless.

In this way, just after noon that day, Xiang Yu handed over his team to a deputy general, and then took his 180 personal guards to the direction of Bashu.

Along the way to Bashu, Xiang Yu was observing the surrounding situation carefully. He found that the places that Han Xin and Lu Jia called the gathering points had gradually evolved into villages. Many people were building houses not far from the water source and straight road. Although the climate was very harsh, Xiang Yu found that those individuals were very excited. He really couldn't understand what was there to be happy about when he settled in such a harsh environment. At the same time, he also had a lot of curiosity and admiration for Ying Gao's method.

And not only that, on the same road they returned, there were many people from Daqin who moved from somewhere to bring their families to the place. They obviously had just accepted immigration and had not yet arrived at the place.

"I wonder if the general knows, why are the people of Daqin not only not disappointed in going to such a place to settle down, but are rather excited?"

Finally, after witnessing team after team of such situations, Xiang Yu couldn't help but open his mouth and asked Han Xin.

Regarding this situation, Han Xin naturally had already communicated with Lu Jia when he first came in, so Han Xin still knew very detailedly about this immigration.

"The immigrants of the emperor did not immigrate as the first emperor did at the time, but gave them exemption from corvee labor, distribution of food, land, houses, and even directly granted military titles when joining the army in the future, and chose people who were willing to immigrate. This time, because the Western Regions were a bitter and cold place, the emperor specially ordered Xiao He, the left prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, to go to Yanzhao to choose to immigrate. The Yanzhao land was very cold, so these immigrants could still adapt to this place."

After hearing Han Xin's words, Xiang Yu nodded repeatedly. At the same time, he also knew that the distance he had let Ying Gao leave was too far away, and it was impossible to lead the Huns to catch up with the development of the Qin Dynasty.

At this time, Ying Gao had just received the good news sent back by Han Xin in advance. He learned that Han Xin, Xiang Yu and others had indeed lived up to expectations. Within two or three months after taking down the city of Huafa, the Mauryan monarch Sari Saga fell into their hands.

What surprised Ying Gao even more was that Xu Fu was indeed hiding in the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty and had been escorted back by Han Xin with Sharishuga.

At this point, the results of Ying Gao's attempt to attack the Mauryan Dynasty this time have basically reached all. Although the Mauryan Dynasty has two-thirds of its territory and has not been attacked by them, it is almost the same as the Borderlands.

Ying Gao did not publish this great good news in the court as soon as possible. He was waiting for Han Xin's return. He knew that at most half a month after he received this letter, Han Xin, who had been away from Xianyang City for more than a year, was about to return. At this time, the immigration of Yanzhao and the construction of straight roads were basically over, so Ying Gao wanted to announce these major events in the court.

But while he was waiting for Han Xin, he also waited for another news that surprised him very much.

"What? Xiang Yu actually dared to follow Han Xin to my Xianyang City?"

When Han Xin arrived one day, he sent a post to Xianyang City to meet Ying Gao. In fact, this was not needed, but in the previous letter, Han Xin did not tell Ying Gao that Xiang Yu would come together.

If you didn't tell Ying Gao in advance, you would very likely neglect this king who also made a great contribution in the battle to conquer the Mauryan Dynasty. Han Xin still recognized Xiang Yu's talent very much, so at least he was very welcome to Xiang Yu's arrival in Xianyang City.

Ying Gao was very shocked by this news, but in addition to being shocked, he was quite able to accept this matter. After all, he had planned to go to Shangjun to meet Xiang Yu before, but now, Shangjun obviously doesn't have to go anymore. This is undoubtedly a good thing for Ying Gao. However, Ying Gao still had some guesses in his heart about the reason for Xiang Yu's arrival, and he had some ideas. He also wanted to wait until Xiang Yu arrived to verify it well.

A day later, when Xiang Yu and Han Xin arrived outside the gate of Xianyang City, a group of people had been waiting for a long time. The leader was wearing a black cloak and riding a black war horse, which was very solemn. It was Ying Gao, the emperor of the Qin Dynasty.

Seeing Xiang Yu and Han Xin coming together, Ying Gao bowed to Xiang Yu from afar, which was enough to show his importance to the Xiongnu Shanyu. The important officials of the Qin Dynasty brought behind Ying Gao were also amazed when they saw this handsome man.

Since Xiang Yu followed Xiang Liang to rebel against Qin, he has become a household name in the Qin Dynasty. However, many officials in the Qin Dynasty really don’t know what this person looks like. At this time, he is not only very mighty, but also not much different from Ying Gao’s age. In this era, he can be regarded as a young hero.

After bowing to each other, Xiang Yu, Han Xin and others were sent to Xianyang Palace by Ying Gao. Here, they had already prepared bathing and changing clothes for them. Then there was a dinner specially used for celebration in Xianyang Palace. Although not many people came, Xiang Yu knew it after Han Xin's introduction that these were basically Ying Gao's right-hand man. Being able to bring this wave of people to the banquet, it was enough to show that Ying Gao still respects Xiang Yu very much.

The capturing of the capital of the Mauryan Dynasty and capturing the Mauryan monarch Sharishuga alive was a great achievement for the generals of the Qin Dynasty. Ying Gao also gave Han Xin a lot of praise for this matter. After all, because of the attack on the Mauryan Dynasty, his sister had been widowed for more than a year, so she was still very distressed.

But there was nothing else at the banquet except for drinking and drinking, so Xiang Yu did not drink much wine. He kept a very clear mind because he knew what he was doing so anxiously this time. For him, the topic was the end of this banquet.

Sure enough, before Xiang Yu could go to find Ying Gao himself after the banquet, Ying Gao directly invited Xiang Yu to a hall in Xianyang Palace, which was the one he often studied some things on weekdays.

As soon as Xiang Yu entered the hall, he saw Ying Gao was already waiting in his seat. Behind Ying Gao was a row of fully armed and even masked guards. If Ying Gao himself was here, these guards were certainly not necessary.

But meeting Xiang Yu is no different. These are arranged by Tian Yan to help Ying Gao. She is very sure that even with her ability, she can't hold on for a stick of incense with the joint efforts of these ten people. Even if Xiang Yu is several times stronger than her, this is a guard she has selected by herself, which is enough.

After the ceremony, Xiang Yu was about to speak, his eyes were attracted by a huge map placed on the ground in the center, because there were not only the Great Qin, the Xiongnu, the Donghu, the Yuezhi, the large desolate land, and even some parts of the Mauryan Dynasty.

Obviously, this was what Han Xin brought to Ying Gao in the message sent back. Xiang Yu could see from this map, because there were large blank spaces around the Mauryan Dynasty. Since Ying Gao kept them, he would definitely want to draw them in the future.
