As the five thousand reclamation army began logging projects, the battalion department of the Mozhuan Bureau also accelerated the "Xuhe Official Road" they are currently working on, which is the road from Xushui to Heyang.

Speaking of which, after the beginning of spring this year, the camp took a full four months to build the bridge across the river in the Fanpang area, connecting Shaoliang County and Pishi County. It has to be said that the bridge with four or five carriages in parallel is not so common in contemporary times.

The reason why such a wide bridge was built was not mainly to connect the Pi family, but more importantly, it was traded with the northern part of Hedong County and Shangdang and Shaoliang, South Korea.

Before and after the Wei Dynasty imposed an embargo on Shaoliang, it was Shangdang County, South Korea that transported the salt and rice that Shaoliang was urgently needed, which helped Shaoliang survive that difficult period. Later, with the emergence of the specialty of "Shaoliang Wine", not only the merchants from Qi State flocked to it, but more and more merchants from Shangdang County, South Korea also became more and more, which led to serious inconvenience in transportation between the rivers.

The good news is that a large number of Korean merchants have to stagnate at the Pi family town, which has promoted the development of the Pi family town in disguise. The bad news is that Shaoliang's great business of selling wine has been severely blocked.

Therefore, after the beginning of spring this year, Dongliang Jun asked the Mozambique Bureau to build a bridge connecting Fanpang and Pi as soon as possible.

The battalion headquarters fulfilled its mission and, under the leadership of Director Mo Ming, spent four months building the bridge.

In fact, after the bridge was built, the battalion department began to prepare for the construction of the "Ling Dingguan Road", that is, the road from Shaoliang to Dingyang.

However, Yin Qi, the doctor of Heyang County, urged the ground to tighten the ground. The camp changed the plan halfway and went to repair the "Xu Heguan Road" first. Although for some reasons, the whole county of Shaoliang did not like Heyang very much, but the old minister Yin Qi still had to give him the face. Moreover, since Li He expelled the He family and the Tian family had betrayed Shaoliang and secretly communicated with Gongsun Yan's clan, Heyang has indeed become much more honest recently.

Perhaps people in Heyang gradually realized that Shaoliang is no longer the Shaoliang of the past.

According to the communication between Li He and Mo Ming, there is only the last section of Xuhe official road left, and it will be completed in about a month. At that time, all the employees will go to the northwest of the old Liang Dynasty and just follow the five thousand Kenjianjun to construct the construction.

For Yin Zhi's sake, neither side exposed it. After all, the road construction is not as fast as logging. Even if both sides are constructing at the same time, the battalion department will not keep up with the speed of the Jianjian Army.

However, Xu He’s official road cannot be delayed. After all, in recent years, not only Heyang, but also the merchants who had been in exchange for Shaoliang in Qin State have complained a lot.

In mid-July, Shaoliang learned about the latest war situation in Hedong, but it was not that Qin sent people to send at least Liang, but Huishi sent people to send at least Liang.

After the signing of the Shangjun Alliance, Xia Yangjun brought Hui Shi to Hedong and asked him to urge Pang Juan to use troops against the Qin army on his behalf. First, he would recover Hedong as soon as possible, and second, he would hope that Pang Juan would completely destroy Qin's ambition to occupy Hedong.

It seems to be the same thing, but it is not.

After all, Xia Yang Jun was still anxious to sign the "Hedong Alliance" with Shaoliang. After all, in his opinion, only by signing this alliance and pulling Shaoliang down can Qin's covetousness and covetness for Hedong be completely eliminated.

The problem is that the Qin army is still in Hedong. With the relationship between Shaoliang and Qin's "half-alliance", even if everyone knows that this battle is Qin's invasion of Wei, it will be difficult for Shaoliang to come forward to preside over justice. After all, once this is done, Shaoliang and Qin will break up.

Therefore, even Liang Mo did not come forward.

But on the other hand, if Wei State had put off Qin this time and allowed the Qin army to retreat back to Hexi on its own, and Shaoliang signed the Hedong alliance with Wei State, he could avoid breaking up with Qin State - although Qin State would still feel unhappy and even angry, the degree would definitely not be as great as Shaoliang's direct intervention during the war between the two countries.

In addition, Shaoliang could no longer deliberately ignore the alliance by repelling the Qin army to Hexi.

Based on this kind of thing, if Xia Yang Jun was not the prime minister of Wei, I believe he would stare at Pang Juan every day and urge him to defeat Ying Qian as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, he gave the task to Hui Shi, and while asking the latter to urge Pang Juan on his behalf, he told Shao Liang about Pang Juan's progress from time to time. To put it bluntly, he reminded Shao Liang: It's time to sign the Hedong Alliance! In addition, it's time to start guarding against Qin!

On July 16, the latest battle situation in Hedong was sent to Li He through Shaoliang City.

It was almost the same as Li He expected. Pang Juan general Feng Pu and Zuo Song's Wei Wu cavalry, with nearly 2,000 people, threw them into the Hedong battlefield.

According to the war report, Pang Juan also attached great importance to this cavalry, so he did not let him engage in frontal combat at the beginning. Instead, he acted as a ranger to eliminate the scouts of the Qin army for the main force of the Wei army under Pang Juan.

Of course, there is no need to say much about the result. In front of the Wei Wuqi, the Qin army's scouts were powerless and suffered heavy losses.

Two thousand Wei Wuqi beheaded more than 3,000 pieces within just twenty days after the war started.

how?

In fact, there are not many cavalry speeds. After all, the cavalry speed is too fast. As long as a team of cavalry finds the Qin army scout and sends a signal, the rest of the cavalry will immediately come to encircle and suppress. The Qin army scouts retreat speed is not as fast as the Wei Wu cavalry. In addition, the Wei Wu cavalry continues to harass, attacks, and chase. It is not difficult to imagine that as long as the Qin army scouts caught by the Wei Wu cavalry, there are basically no few living people left.

It was with the assistance of these Wei Wu cavalry that Pang Juan took the lead in attacking Ji Liang and Miao Lin, two Qin troops who were swimming in the Fen River.

At that time, only Qin general Gongsun Jia from the Anmen Gate led his army to support Ji Liang and Miao Lin, but unfortunately he was outnumbered and defeated by Pang Juan, who personally led his army. He had no choice but to give up the camps swimming in Xintian and Fen Rivers and withdraw back to the Anmen Gate.

After more than half a day, Ying Qian, who was stationed in Anyi, learned about this. He was shocked and angry and led his army to attack Anyi and Quwo, trying to force Pang Juan to withdraw his troops and share the pressure for Gongsun Jia and other partial troops. Unexpectedly, Pang Juan had expected that after repelling Ji Liang, Miao Lin, Gongsun Jia and other generals, he withdrew his troops and returned to Quwo.

It was approaching dusk, and Ying Qian was eager to put pressure on Quwo, but he did not guard against the ambush. He immediately launched an attack on Quwo. Unexpectedly, as soon as the first wave of offensive ended, Pang Juan's ambush broke out around him.

At this time, Ying Qian realized that Pang Juan had already led the main force back from Fenshui.

It has to be said that Ying Qian is worthy of being the commander of Qin's wars over the years. Although he had realized his judgment, he did not act in a hurry to withdraw his troops. After all, he also knew that once he ordered his retreat at this time, the entire army might be defeated.

So he forced himself to withstand pressure and divided part of the army to resist Pang Juan's main force, and took this opportunity to remove the Qin army that was sieging the city in an orderly manner.

He thought very thoroughly: You Pang Juan, are you, Ji Liang, and Miao Lin and his army gone? No matter what the victory or defeat, your soldiers must be tired of running back and forth. Since that is the case, even if I fight with you in the decisive battle, my Qin army will not suffer any loss!

It's true that Ying Qian's decision was wise in the face of battle. After the main force led by Pang Juan fought with Ji Liang, Miao Lin, Gongsun Jia, and some Qin troops, he could not do anything to Ying Qian's army for a while.

At this moment, Pang Juan decisively summoned the two thousand Wei Wu cavalry and asked the latter to attack Ying Qian's original formation.

How powerful is the two thousand Wei Wu cavalry's attack? The defeat of more than 10,000 Hu cavalry under Pilo's command in the past has given the best example. Although Ying Qian's original formation had at least five thousand Qin soldiers at that time, these five thousand Qin soldiers could not resist the charge of two thousand Wei Wu cavalry.

Of course, this time, the Wei Wuqi followed their strategy of losing their family in Shangjun and lost hundreds of war horses, but who cares?

The key was that they rushed to Ying Qian all the way, and were so shocked that the driver who drove the chariot for Ying Qian and the guards who were protecting him around them hurriedly took Ying Qian to evacuate.

When Ying Qian retreated, his flag also retreated. Taking this opportunity, Pang Juan called his Wei army under his command and shouted: "Ying Qian was defeated and fled! Ying Qian was defeated and fled!"

Countless Qin generals looked back and were shocked to see the flags of their own army retreating. When their morale was blew, they did not have the fighting spirit. They fled everywhere, but were caught by Pang Juan and killed and defeated.

Since that battle, Pang Juan gradually mastered the key points of using this Wei Wu cavalry: Ying Qian shrank in Anyi and did not leave, so he sent Wei Wu cavalry to wander around Anyi, eliminating all Qin soldiers in the sight area to ensure that Ying Qian could not get any information. He took the opportunity to lead the main force to attack the small Qin army from Anmen, Fenmen, Linghu, Qishi, Jieyi, Xiayang and other cities, and slowly cut off Ying Qian's minions; if Ying Qian was forced to attack Quwo, he would be Feng Pu, and Zuo Song led the Wei Wu cavalry to try his best to drag Ying Qian's army, and he seized the time to withdraw and confront Ying Qian head-on.

Logically speaking, if the combat capability of his soldiers running back and forth like Pang Juan will definitely be greatly reduced. Even if there are Wei Wushang in the army, they may not be able to defeat Ying Qian in the decisive battle in the wilderness, but they cannot withstand the Wei army's powerful weapon, Wei Wuqin.

Whenever a head-on confrontation occurs, Pang Juan calls Feng Pu. The two generals Zuo Song lead the Wei Wu cavalry to support him, launching crossbows to the Qin army from the side, and even on the back, just like the Hu cavalry did to the coalition forces during the Battle of Lindi. This means that the Qin army must not only resist the Wei army from the front, but also beware of the hidden arrows from the back, and cannot concentrate. How can this be undefeated?

Faced with this despicable tactic, Ying Qian had no temper. After all, the soldiers under his command could not catch up with the Wei Wu cavalry at all. What was the point of expelling others? The Wei Wu cavalry changed its position and continued to shoot. The grassland cavalry used this trick to beat the Central Plains border army for dozens or hundreds of years. How could it be so easy to crack?

If the Qin army was not defeated in this way, Pang Juan would use the same trick again and order the Wei Wuqian cavalry to directly attack Ying Qian's original formation.

The Wei army who had been to Shangjun knew how to resist the cavalry's rush, and the Yuanli army and Lindi Zhao army also knew, but how could the Qin army under Ying Qian know how to deal with the cavalry?

When the Qin army, who saw those Wei Wu cavalry rushing towards their own group, had almost no relevant experience, was instinctively frightened and could not make effective resistance.

In short, whether it is a head-on decisive battle or other aspects, Ying Qian's army is currently completely suppressed by Pang Juan's army. Although Anyi is still in the hands of Ying Qian, other cities in the northern part of Hedong County are quickly recovered by Pang Juan.

This is all about Hui Shi's latest battle report, but in fact, it's enough to see this. At least in Li He's opinion, Ying Qian has been defeated. If he doesn't retreat, he will be cut off by Pang Juan.

Sure enough, in late July, Ying Qian was forced to lead his army to withdraw from Anyi and retreat to the Yan family, Qi family, and even Puyang.

Perhaps out of reluctance, he took the lead in transporting away the remaining wealth in Anyi City, and even snatched the clans in the city that he originally planned to win over again. However, this action increasingly proved that he was not optimistic about this war.

As of mid-August, Ying Qian, under Pang Juan's step-by-step pressure, was forced to give up Puyang, the last occupied city, and led the defeated army to withdraw back to Hexi.

The defeat on the front line shocked Liyang.

During this period, Liyang also learned where the Wei Wu cavalry that Ying Qian had no choice but to come from.

"It's Shaoliang! It's Shaoliang who trained cavalry for the Wei people! They betrayed me, Daqin!"

Du Zhi, an important official of Qin, told the truths he knew in front of the King of Qin indignantly, and the Qin ministers present in the palace were angry.

They didn't know what transactions Shaoliang had made with Wei, but Shaoliang helped Wei train cavalry, and this Wei cavalry appeared in the Battle of Hedong, which became one of the key factors for Pang Juan to defeat Ying Qian. So, this was Shaoliang's betrayal of Qin.

The question is, how to deal with Shao Liang's betrayal?!
