"Drive, drive, drive..."

On the plains south of the Wei River, two teams, one red and one black, were chasing each other fiercely amidst the sounds of urging horses.

The thick four hooves of the war horse struck the ground heavily, causing loess to sweep up into the sky.

What is a bit strange is that the Wei cavalry galloping in front did not turn around to fight back, and the Qin cavalry chasing behind also did not draw their bows and shoot forward.

The two sides seemed to maintain a silent understanding, as if what was happening now was just a competition where friendship came first.

Among the red Wei cavalry, the deputy general looked behind him from time to time while controlling the high-speed horse under him.

Seeing the smoke and dust not far behind his own team, the deputy general, whose brows had never relaxed, slightly tightened the reins in his hands, and the horse under him immediately sped up a bit.

Arriving next to Pang Juan, who was the chief general of the Wei army, the deputy general asked with a little worry: "General, the Qin army has been following me closely. Do you have any other plans?"

Regarding the lieutenant's worries, Pang Juan's eyes immediately moved behind him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Don't worry, in my opinion, the Qin army has some scruples and is unable to do anything."

Turning his head to look at the scenery ahead, Pang Juan asked the deputy general beside him: "How far is our army from Zhiyang City?"

"According to the current speed of our army, we will be able to reach Zhiyang City in about an hour." After estimating the distance, the lieutenant general replied.

After hearing this report from the deputy general, he looked back at Qin Jun behind him, and the smile on Pang Juan's lips became a little brighter.

"Command the soldiers to speed up, our army will rest and regroup in Zhiyang City today."

"Follow orders."

Following Pang Juan's order, the entire Wei army's cavalry increased their speed again, shooting towards their destination, Zhiyang City, like a red arrow.

The Wei army in front quickened his pace, and the Qingqi of the Qin army who had been following him did not relax at all.

Seeing that the distance between the two sides was widening, a Qin Army cavalry glanced viciously at the smoke and dust rising in front of him.

After a few breaths, the Qin Army cavalryman looked at the Qin Army General Ying Qian beside him with an aggrieved face.

"My eldest son, Wei Jun is going too far to bully others. They clearly don't take us seriously."

"That's right. If you ask me, you should speed up to catch up and compete with the Wei cavalry."

"I can't fight like this, and I can't retreat. I feel so aggrieved."

It seemed that the faucet of complaints had been turned on, and the Qin Jun Qingqi beside them vomited out all the grievances in their hearts.

And hearing the dissatisfaction rising in his ears, Ying Qian, the commander-in-chief of the Qin Army, also looked ahead with a look of reluctance.

When he heard from the scouts that the leader of the army this time was Wei General Pang Juan, Ying Qian immediately chased him out of the camp with two thousand light cavalry.

But when he really saw that flash of red on the plain, calmness suddenly took over his heart again.

After this not-so-brief pursuit, Ying Qian only felt unwillingness and regret in his heart.

It was better not to come. Even if he really caught up with the Wei army in front, would he really dare to draw his sword to attack the opponent?

What is standing behind Pang Juan? That is the most powerful overlord in the world today, and it is also the Wei State that severely damaged the Qin State eight years ago.

Compared with Wei, although Qin's national power has increased due to reforms over the years, there is still a huge gap between the two sides.

The State of Wei has always been eyeing the State of Qin. If it rashly leads troops to start a war, wouldn't it mean that the situation will be directly handed to the State of Wei?

As the eldest son of the Qin State, Ying Qian was inevitably agitated, which is why he immediately led his troops after hearing the news about Pang Juan.

However, being angry for a moment does not mean that Ying Qian is a fool. On the contrary, he also knows how to advance and retreat, and also understands that this moment is definitely not the time to break up with Wei Guo.

Looking ahead coldly again with reluctance, Ying Qian just coldly ordered: "The whole army speeds up. We cannot let the Wei army in front get away from our army, and we cannot get too close."

"Here."

No matter how unwilling they were, facing the orders issued by Ying Qian, these Qin Army Qingqi could only obey orders.

In this way, the two sides once again entered into a tacit pursuit, until the city named Zhiyang appeared in the sight of the two armies.

Speaking of Zhiyang, we have to talk about a legend from hundreds of years ago.

Legend has it that in 770 BC, King Zhou Ping, who conspired with Quan Rong to kill his father, was forced to move his capital from the original Hao Jingdong to Luoyang.

On the way eastward, when passing through Zhiyang, he happened to see a white deer appearing on the plain. King Ping of Zhou thought it was an auspicious sign symbolizing the revival of the Zhou Dynasty.

From then on, the wilderness in Zhiyang where white deer appeared was called White Deer Plain.

Unfortunately, the appearance of the white deer does not seem to symbolize the revival of the Zhou Dynasty. On the contrary, the lineage of King Ping who moved east to Luoyi has been in decline since then.

After King Zhou Ping left, the original hometown of Zong Zhou was occupied by Quan Rong who came from the north to the south.

Later, the Qin people, who had experienced many monarchs, drove away the Quanrong and turned Zongzhou's hometown into their own territory.

Until the disastrous defeat eight years ago, the land where the white deer once appeared became the trophy of Wei again.

"Eldest Young Master, look!"

A shout rang out among the Qin army's ranks, and the Wei army's cavalry, which had been galloping in front of them, suddenly stopped.

Under the watchful eyes of the Qin army's light cavalry, the Wei army's cavalry quickly formed a neat formation, as if they were welcoming guests from afar.

Seeing Wei Jun's abnormal behavior, a look of vigilance couldn't help but appear on Ying Qian's face.

"The whole army listens to the order and stops marching."

Following an order from above the wilderness, Qin Jun also stopped moving forward rapidly.

In this way, the two teams were originally chasing each other, but now they turned into a confrontation with each other.

The stalemate between the Wei Army and the Qin Army lasted for a long time, and with a slight movement among the ranks, the Wei Army's general Pang Juan, wearing red armor, slowly walked out of the ranks while controlling his horse.

"General Pang Juan of Wei State, I wonder if the general can go out into battle?"

Ying Qian was no stranger to Pang Juan.

In the great war between Wei and Qin eight years ago, the two sides had fought on the battlefield, but Ying Qian was not the Qin army's commander at that time.

Secretly suppressing the killing intent in his heart, Ying Qian loosened his grip on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and gently kicked the horse beneath him with his legs.

"Qin General Ying Qian, I have met the superior general."

Upon hearing the name announced by Ying Qian, Pang Juan had a hint of surprise on his face, which then turned into a smile.

"I don't want to see the eldest son in person, but Pang Juan is rude. He has met the eldest son."

"General, there is no need to be polite."

After seemingly replying nonchalantly, Ying Qian's eyes immediately turned to the obviously elite Wei cavalryman behind Pang Juan.

"The general, as a guest, enters the territory of our Qin State and leaves without drinking and chatting with the master Qian. Isn't it inappropriate?"
