Chapter 349 Yiqu’s invasion

On the plains, war horses were stationary, with wary faces above the hooves that moved from time to time.

Looking at the endless green not far away, it is now covered by overwhelming figures.

"Sima."

The deputy general's somewhat vigilant voice echoed in his ears, but Sun Boling's eyes did not become serious because of this. Instead, the corners of his mouth curved a bit briskly.

"Don't panic, the person coming is a friend, not an enemy."

While Sun Boling was speaking, the figures not far away had stopped advancing, and only two people were riding horses and slowly came towards the direction of the Wei army.

Looking at the familiar figure coming towards him, the smile on Sun Boling's face became even brighter.

"drive!"

Shaking the reins lightly in his hands, lightly kicking the horse beneath him with his legs, Sun Boling rushed up to meet the visitor with a clear sound of urging the horse.

"Let's go, follow me."

The two sides walked towards each other for a while, and finally the four figures stopped not far from each other.

Soothing the slightly anxious war horse beneath him, Sun Boling said to the man opposite with a smile on his face: "After all these years, the style of the leader of the Jiang family is still the same."

The person who appeared in front of Sun Boling at this moment was Jiang He, the clan leader of the Jiang family in Yiqu.

At that time, Yiqu was defeated by the Wei army, and the nobles of Yiqu naturally became the prisoners of Wei.

In order to win over the hearts and minds of the Yiqu land, the Wei State did not adopt the method of killing these Yiqu nobles.

Except for those who chose to resist stubbornly and overestimate their own capabilities, the Wei State adopted gentle methods against these Yiqu nobles.

Or like the Yiqu royal family, they were given a mansion in Anyi, the capital of the country, and they were given high titles and wealth to appease their hearts; or like the Jiang family, they still recognized the territory they owned under the management of officials sent by Wei State.

.

Hearing Sun Boling's words across from him, and remembering the time when the two met for the first time, a faint blush appeared on Jiang He's cheeks inadvertently.

At that time, he was just a loser, and all he could do was look up at the people in front of him with fear and humility.

"Ahem..."

After coughing lightly, not only to relieve the embarrassment in his heart, but also to strengthen his courage, Jiang He looked at Sun Boling opposite.

"Sima is overly praised. How dare a defeated general do this? Sima's reputation for leading an army across the grasslands is what makes me admire him so much."

After finishing his words, Jiang He gently turned the horse's head and looked at the tribal warriors following him.

With a bit of fear and a bit of admiration, Jiang Hezhong turned to Sun Boling and extended the invitation.

"When I heard that Sima was coming, I had already held a banquet in the clan."

Sun Boling naturally did not show any politeness to Jiang He's invitation, and followed him with a flick of the reins in his hand.

"Since the patriarch invited me, Bo Ling refused."

Not long after, the two originally independent cavalry phalanxes gradually merged into one, leaving only a long dragon roaming on the plain.

With the leadership of the Jiang clan, Sun Boling led the Wei cavalry under his command to move more calmly, and soon the army arrived at the Jiang clan's camp.

Along the way, the soldiers sat in twos and threes, their hard-working horses twitching their mouths from time to time. In the Chinese army tent, Sun Boling, Jiang He and others sat on their seats.

Looking at Sun Boling's calm face across from him, Jiang He asked softly with a tentative tone.

"I dare to ask Sima, this time he led his army to the north, but for..."

"Qin?"

Hearing Jiang He spit out the word Qin, the corners of Sun Boling's mouth suddenly rose a little.

As long as you know the movement trajectory of your army, it will be difficult to hide your plans.

Now that Jiang He had guessed his intention, Sun Boling simply admitted it generously.

"Exactly, for Qin."

"Now our Wei general, Pang Juan, is leading an army of 150,000 men to confront the main force of the Qin army along the banks of the Jing River. Boling is leading his army north this time to take the enemy by surprise and go straight into the hinterland of Qin."

"how……"

Questions came out of Sun Boling's mouth, and at the same time, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes as he looked across.

"Chief of the Jiang clan, do you have plans for our country, Wei?"

As soon as Sun Boling said these words, especially the danger hidden in them, the alarm bells in Jiang He's heart rang loudly.

"Of course not. The Wei State has a strong national power and a strong military. How can I, the Jiang family, be able to scheme against it?"

While trying to show his loyalty with words, Jiang He stood up from his seat.

His eyes were aligned with Sun Boling's on the opposite side, and looking at the other's scrutinizing eyes, Jiang He mustered up the courage to speak out.

"If Wei needs it, I, Mrs. Jiang, am willing to lend a helping hand."

When Sun Boling heard Jiang He's promise, his heart suddenly moved.

Since destroying Yiqu and bringing the entire northern land under its control, the Wei State has taken active measures to manage this newly captured land.

Relying on its strong national power, appropriate means, and sufficient talents, the Wei State was very successful in governing this land.

Nowadays, the imprint of Yiqu on the grassland has gradually disappeared. Not only the high-level nobles have dedicated their loyalty to the Wei State, but there are also many Yiqu figures who are good at riding and shooting among the cavalry of the Wei army.

Previously, Sun Boling ordered his cavalry to disguise themselves as Yiqu Qingqi and go to the northern border of Qin. In fact, most of them were acting in their true colors.

Looking at the determined Jiang He opposite him, Sun Boling slowly stood up from his seat.

"There is something I need to ask the Jiang clan leader for help."

"But listen to Sima's orders."



Qin State, Wushi Fortress.

Ever since the news came that the Wei army was about to attack Qin, the entire Qin army felt a tense atmosphere about war.

When Wei General Pang Juan led an army of 150,000 troops and appeared on the east bank of Jingshui River, most of the Qin army's attention was shifted to the east.

As part of Qin's northern defense line, Wushi Sai, far away from the front lines of the Qin and Wei battles, gradually returned to its former calm after experiencing the initial tension.

However, this does not mean that everything is fine near Wushi Sai. At this moment, the sound of footsteps coming from far and near is obviously mixed with some urgency.

"General, general, general..."

Hearing the call ringing in his ears, a young figure sitting behind the desk quickly put down the bamboo slips in his hand.

"What's the matter? But the Wei army is attacking?"

The deputy general who came in a hurry took care of his messy breathing, and replied still out of breath: "It's not Wei Jun, it's Yiqu..."

Before the deputy general finished speaking, the originally enthusiastic young figure suddenly lost interest, and the bamboo slips he had put down were placed in front of his eyes again.

"Why are the people of Yiqu so fussy? In the past half month, haven't there been reports of Yiqu Qingqi coming from all over the north?"

"In my opinion, these are just the remnants of Yiqu soldiers who were defeated by Wei State. They took advantage of the opportunity of the war between Wei State and Qin State to get rid of them..."

The young figure's nonchalant voice continued, but was interrupted by the deputy general's next words.

"General, at this moment there are nearly a thousand Yiqu Qingqi provoking outside the pass."

"What!"
Chapter completed!
