Even when Ying Qian was working hard to win the victory of this battle, the old Liang was not idle either.

Just like the victory on the first day of Dongliang, although the defenders of the old Liang were happy that they defeated Miao Lin and the Qin army led by Ji Liang, the terrifying casualties when counting their own casualties after the war also took away the joy in the hearts of every soldier.

Only then did they realize that human lives were so fragile, and that they were so close to death.

A fear of death quickly spread among the new soldiers, causing the morale of these new soldiers who had obviously repelled the Qin army to rapidly decline.

In order to boost morale, Li He took Liang Ji to comfort the wounded soldiers the next day.

During the battle of Old Liang, nearly 6,000 troops were killed in battle, more than 6,000 injured, and more than 6,000 injured. Of course, it is impossible for Liang Ji to express his condolences one by one. Not to mention that this girl, who was only in her teens, could not hold on, even an adult man could not hold on.

Therefore, Liang Ji only stayed in every house where the wounded soldiers were placed in the city for a little while, and randomly selected individual soldiers to express her gratitude, and also encouraged them to recover from their injuries with peace of mind.

Even so, after only visiting the two thousand soldiers, Liang Ji was exhausted and panting, and sweat oozing from her forehead.

Seeing this, Anu advised with some pain: "Shaojun, take a break first, don't be exhausted."

Liang Ji shook her head and said, "I'm not tired...this is the only thing I can do."

Seeing this scene, Li He couldn't help but sigh that although Dong Liang Jun overprotected Liang Ji, he did teach Liang Ji very well, especially in the sensible aspect, Liang Ji's performance was not like a girl who was only over ten years old.

While feeling moved, he also came forward to persuade Liang Ji. After all, they not only wanted to comfort the injured, but also to comfort the families of the sacrificed soldiers. As anxious as Liang Ji, they would easily exhaust themselves.

He said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "You are the spiritual pillar of my Shaoliang's military and civilians, but you must not fall."

"Really?" Liang Ji looked confused.

"Of course." Li He nodded seriously.

His words were not false. Although Liang Ji didn't have many things to do, this did not prevent many soldiers from fighting for her, even if she sacrificed her life.

Although Liang Ji's beautiful, cute girl image and her noble identity account for part of the reason, but more importantly, Liang Ji's empathy and the true feelings she expresses sometimes, whether it is hugging and cheering with Anu when she repels the Qin army, or when she sees the soldiers who died in battle and are crying sadly.

Because of these, Liang Ji was not only loved by the guards of the East Liang, but also by the guards of the old Liang.

So when Li He took Liang Ji to comfort the wounded soldiers, not to mention that there were a group of soldiers surrounding them from beginning to end, the soldiers who were comforted by Liang Ji were even more flattered, as if they were injected with chicken blood, which was completely different from their previous depressed appearance.

It is no exaggeration to say that in terms of comforting the injured and boosting morale, Liang Ji's role is much stronger than Wang Zheng, and even Li He cannot compare with him. After all, the two are neither beautiful and cute girls nor the king of Shaoliang.

At noon, Li He and Liang Ji took Liang Ji to eat with the soldiers in the city, and then continued to comfort the injured soldiers, boosting morale bit by bit.

Until around the Shen period, Wang Zheng hurried over and looked a little solemn.

Seeing this, Li He ordered Hu Ben to look at Liang Ji, and he walked towards the latter under Wang Zheng's instructions.

"Wang Siko, what happened?"

"Yes." Wang Zheng nodded and said, "I just got the report. Qin army's actions...a little strange."

"Strange?"

"Ah, you and I will know it when you go up to the city wall."

"Hold on."

After instructing Liang Ji and Anu, Li He hurried to the south city wall with Wang Zheng and looked at the Qin army on the other side of the Qingshui River.

At this time, he saw that the Qin army had brought a batch of wood from somewhere, and thousands of people were busy with it.

At first, Li He thought the Qin army was preparing to build siege equipment, but the erected camp showed that the Qin army was building camps.

"Why are you building a camp at this time?" Li He murmured to himself.

"I don't understand either."

Wang Zheng, who heard Li He murmur, shook his head and frowned and said, "Regardingly speaking, the Qin army should continue to attack the old Liang, even if more troops are transferred from Dongliang for this reason..."

Li He nodded slightly, expressing his agreement with Wang Zheng's point of view.

After all, Wang Zheng is indeed right. Unless the Qin army commander Ying Qian is the kind of person who cannot tolerate any failure, the significance of Dongliang is far less than that of the oldliang.

In other words, when the attack on Dongliang was unfavorable, the Qin army should decisively turn into the oldliang and should never slowly build camps at this time, which is contrary to common sense.

"Is there any change in Dongliang?" Wang Zheng's expression suddenly changed slightly.

"It shouldn't be..."

Li He shook his head and said, "If Dongliang is captured, the Qin army will inevitably advance to the old Liang... In this way, I will take the young master back to Dongliang tonight."

Wang Zheng was slightly surprised: "So anxious?"

Li He frowned and said, "I originally planned to stay for a few more days to try to ensure that the old Liang will not be captured by the Qin army. But look at the Qin army on the other side, they should have planned to build a camp first... Although I don't know why, it is not a bad thing for the old Liang. Since that's the case, I'll just return to Dongliang as soon as possible to see what tricks the Qin army is playing."

Wang Zheng nodded slightly: "Then I'll ask someone to prepare a carriage?"

Li He shook his head and refused: "Prepare a few clean clothes for Shaojun and Anu."

It was not the feeling that he was nostalgic about Liang Ji's back, but the Qin army on the south bank of the Qingshui occupied the road from the old Liang to the east Liang. Even at night, it was difficult for horse-drawn carriages to pass, so he could only follow the road he came and return from the original road on the loess plateau on the west side.

Compared to the carriage, it is true that it is prepared for Liang Ji and Anu to change clothes. After all, swimming across the river at night will inevitably make the two women's clothes wet. He and the surprise soldiers are strong, and it doesn't matter even if they return to Dongliang in wet clothes, because they are afraid that the two women's bodies will not be able to bear it.

While discussing with Wang Zheng, Li He couldn't help but think of the refugees outside the city again.

Yesterday, when the Qin army attacked the city, the refugees who fled from Herong fled in horror, but now they are gathering outside the city wall again.

When Li He looked at these refugees, he even saw someone carrying the bodies of Qin soldiers and rushing towards the hill on the west side.

The question is, the bodies of Qin soldiers outside the city have already been picked up by Shaoliang guards and stripped of their armor. So, why did those refugees carry the bodies of Qin soldiers?

Li He didn't dare to think about it carefully.

After thinking for a while, he said to Wang Zheng: "If there is excess food, why not give these people some..."

"Supplementary food?"

Wang Zheng had a funny expression on his face, and his expression seemed to be saying: Do you think I have excess food in Shaoliang?

He shook his head and said, "You have just arrived in Shaoliang not long ago. I don't know the grudge between me, Shaoliang and Herong... Herong was very arrogant in the past. He had conflicts with me, Shaoliang more than once, and he had to go to Wei to mediate."

Of course, Li He could see that Wang Zheng's expression was lucky enough to gloat. He lowered his voice and said, "If I, Shaoliang, could defeat the Qin army in this battle and accept a part of Herong, it would not be a bad thing in my opinion..."

"You..." Wang Zheng was stunned for a moment, as if he had guessed something, and said with a strange expression: "You can't be..."

He pondered for a moment, then frowned and said, "Actually, I also thought about accepting some Herong and choosing young and strong people to join the army. But I was worried that there were spies from the Qin army, so I dare not accept them... Okay, I will discuss this with Mr. Yin."

Li He nodded and said no more.

As Wang Zheng guessed, Li He did have some thoughts about the uninhabited land of Herong, including Yuanli and Heyang.

After all, Shaoliang was sandwiched among the three major powers of Qin, Han and Wei, and it was very difficult to expand his territory. The only one that could be considered a soft persimmon was the Herong Kingdom in the south.

Unfortunately, Herong Kingdom is a vassal state of Wei, and it is also the only way for Qin to march into the Central Plains. Even though he has now been defeated by Qin and has become a "borderless land", Li He could only temporarily suppress this idea in his heart and wait for the right opportunity.

After discussing with Wang Zheng for a while, Li He returned to Liang Ji and took the time to tell her about returning to Dongliang tonight.

Liang Ji trusted Li He, so naturally he had no objection.

At Yexu, Li He carried Liang Ji on his back, took Annu and fifty strange soldiers, and swam across the river while the night, climbed up the loess plateau on the southwest side of the Qin army's base, and headed towards Dongliang.

This time, I walked for a whole night, so that Liang Ji fell asleep halfway through Li He's back.

It was not until the next day, on the morning of the first day of October that Li He and his party had barely arrived in the Dongliang area.

At that time, everyone stood on the loess plateau northwest of Dongliang and looked down. Then Li He discovered that the three gates of Dongliang City were still flying with Shaoliang flags, but the "Qin" army flag was erected on the south gate, just like the battle situation when Li He and his group left two days ago.

Looking outside the city, Gongsun Zhuang's army, which was originally stationed in the northwest corner of Dongliang, was no longer in the future. It was replaced by a Qin army that continuously transported wood to the old Liang.

Looking in the direction of the Qin army when they came, Li He was surprised to see that there were countless Qin troops building camps on the Zhichuan Plain southwest of Dongliang, and the scale of the construction seemed to be larger than that of the Qin army in the old Liang area.

"The more than 100,000 Qin troops in Dongliang are also building camps? What the hell?"

Even Li He was confused by the Qin army's attack.

After all, logically speaking, the Qin army should have to fight to attack Dongliang and Old Liang.

With all kinds of doubts, Li He and others hid on this loess plateau for a day. It was not until dusk that the Qin army returned to the camp that had just begun to be built, and he took Liang Ji and everyone back to the city from the north gate.

When he learned that Li He brought Liang Ji back to Dongliang, Dongliang Jun was both happy and angry. What was happy was that Liang Ji was a little tired, everything else was fine. The angry Li He ignored his hint and brought Liang Ji back to the dangerous Dongliang in just two days.

At this time, Li He didn't care about explaining to the old man and asked seriously: "Mr. Dongliang, when I came to Zhichuan, there was a Qin army building a camp. What's wrong? The Qin army has not launched an attack in the past few days after we left Dongliang?"

Seeing Li He talking about the serious matter, Dongliang Jun also corrected his expression and shook his head and said, "I don't know about this... The two days after you took Liang Ji to Old Liang, the Qin army did not attack the city for some reason, and did not even try to seize the West City Gate and the East City Gate..."

Hearing this, Li He was not happy but surprised. Although he felt that the situation was a little bad, he had no way to guess what the Qin army wanted to do.

Until the next day, on the second day of October, Sima Zhuo, the doctor of Fanpang, sent someone to send news to inform the Eastern Liang Qin army that the Qin army had sent troops to occupy the ferry on the east side of Fanpang, and Li He finally understood.

The commander of the Qin army, Ying Qian, is going to waste Shaoliang to death!
