"Xu..."

A loud trumpet sounded across the plains. Feeling the pull from its back, the war horse stopped moving forward almost instantly.

The huge inertia made it difficult for the war horse to maintain its body balance for a moment, and then only the powerful muscles were seen directly causing the war horse's upper body to rise into the air.

At this moment, General Pang Juan of the State of Wei, who was on horseback, did not show any fear at all, but his brows were filled with dripping comfort.

He held the reins tightly with both hands and lightly kicked the belly of the war horse beneath him with his legs. The next moment, Pang Juan's body followed the horse to regain its balance.

The snort of the war horse's nose rang in Pang Juan's ears, and the Wei cavalry who had just fallen behind him also caught up at this time.

"General, why do you stay here?"

Ignoring his lieutenant's inquiry, Pang Juan looked around with interest. At this moment, the Jiuwei Mountain in the distance and the Weishui River in front of him came into view.

After his eyes stayed on the scenery in front of him for a long time, Pang Juan sighed slowly: "This place is located to the south of Jiuwei Mountain and north of the Weishui River. It is really an excellent resort with mountains and rivers. If a city can be built here..."

Pang Juan and Sun Boling belonged to the same Qingxi lineage and came from the sect of Wang Xu of Guiguzi.

People often say that Guiguzi has a profound wisdom, a deep understanding of the philosophy of the movement of nature, and a thorough understanding of geography and mountains and rivers.

As a disciple of Guiguzi, when Pang Juan was studying in Yunmeng Mountain, although he mainly dabbled in the art of war and tactics, he also asked his teacher for some knowledge of landscapes.

Today, when he led his army to this land with mountains, rivers and sunshine, Pang Juan was immediately attracted by the weather here, and he couldn't help but have some wild thoughts in his heart.

Just when Pang Juan was sighing at the weather of this place, the sound of horse hooves came from a distance.

Not long after, an anxious figure came to Pang Juan and said, "Report to the general, the Qin army is attacking with a large force of light cavalry."

Upon hearing the news reported by Wei Jun's scouts, a look of vigilance immediately appeared on the face of the deputy general next to him.

After taking a look at the direction in which the scouts were coming, the deputy general immediately came to Pang Juan's side and said, "General, the Qin army should not stay here for a long time when they attack. Our army should evacuate as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Pang Juan glanced at Jiuwei Mountain in the distance again, and then nodded gently.

"That's fine."

After this response, Pang Juan gently tightened the reins of his horse and galloped directly towards the Wei River in the south.

"Soldiers, follow me."

"Drive, drive, drive..."

Along with the sound of urging horses gradually fading away, the galloping figures quickly disappeared under the horizon.

Why did the Qin army pay so much attention to this small group of Wei cavalry, and even sent a large group of light cavalry to pursue it?

Speaking of which, it is because the Wei army has provoked the Qin army too frequently over the years, and also because of the person who is the commander-in-chief of the Qin army at this moment.

This person is the eldest son of Qin State, Ying Qian.

In fact, shortly after the Wei cavalry crossed the Jingshui River and set foot on Qin's land to the west, the Qin army's scouts sent the news back to the Qin army's camp east of the Jingshui River.

"Report..."

In the central tent of the Qin Army's camp, Ying Qian, the commander-in-chief of the Qin Army, heard the report ringing in his ears and gently put down the bamboo slips he was reading.

Suddenly, a face that was not in a very good mood was revealed.

In fact, I can't blame Ying Qian for showing such a look, because the Qin army has been too depressed in the confrontation with the Wei army over the years.

Although there has not been a large-scale war between Wei and Qin since the great war eight years ago, the provocations of small groups of Wei cavalry have never stopped.

Faced with the constant harassment by a small group of Wei cavalry, Ying Qian could only swallow his resentment no matter how much dissatisfaction he felt in his heart.

The reason why Ying Qian was so helpless against the frequent harassment of Wei cavalry was because he had to do so.

In that battle eight years ago, Qin was not only defeated at the hands of Wei, but it was also a disastrous defeat.

They originally mobilized the whole country to regain their homeland in Hexi, but in the end they were defeated miserably at the hands of the elite Wei warriors at that time. The land in the east of Qin, including the capital Yueyang, fell into the hands of the Wei state.

The Qin State, which has almost completely consumed the family wealth accumulated by Qin Xianggong and Ying Shixi in the twenty years since he succeeded to the throne, has what capital to compete with the behemoth Wei State in the east?

In order to resist the threat from the Wei State and to revive the Qin State, the current Duke of Qin, Ying Quliang, initiated reforms aimed at enhancing the strength of the Qin State just as he did in the original time and space.

Although the reform can strengthen the Qin State, it is never achieved overnight, and it is also accompanied by fierce resistance and turmoil.

Finally, they took advantage of Wei's domestic military reforms and used the army to suppress the local opposition old families. Qin's reform, which was quite similar to Wei's, also began to bear fruit amid the turmoil.

How could Qin give Wei the leverage to start a war when he was working hard on his internal strength and looking forward to the day when he could accumulate enough national power to go east?

The Qin army camp had no choice but to face the repeated provocations of the Wei army. All it could do was swallow up the resentment like the general Ying Qian.

But sometimes, if you don't want to put things to rest, others will make you feel at ease.

Seeing that the Qin army did not react violently to its own provocation, the Wei army's cavalry became more and more unscrupulous, even entering the land that belonged to Qin as if there was no one in it.

At first, the number of provocative Wei cavalry was only a few or a dozen, but over time it grew to hundreds, and the number of people crossing the Jingshui River increased.

This time, when the sound of reporting, which had almost become a habit, sounded in his ears again, Ying Qian immediately knew that there might be another Wei cavalry crossing the Jing River.

The reality was just as he expected, a few breaths later a dusty Qin army scout came to him.

"I report to the eldest son that another cavalry group of several hundred people has crossed the Jingshui River and is roaming around in our land of Qin."

"I understand, general. Thank you for your hard work. You can go down first."

Ying Qian didn't take the news reported by this scout seriously. Such news was already a common occurrence for him.

Just after Ying Qian's order sounded in the Chinese army's tent, something different from usual was that the Qin army scout did not retreat.

Noticing the other party's unusual reaction, Ying Qian immediately looked at him with confusion, "Are you okay?"

Hesitation appeared on the scout's face. After pondering for a few breaths, he told Ying Qian some news that shocked him.

"I would like to inform you, eldest son, that the leader of this Wei army cavalry is General Pang Juan of the State of Wei."

"What!"
