A civil strife in the Western Zhou Dynasty ended with the original Western Zhou Kingdom being divided into two.

This result not only surprised the wise people in the world, but also allowed the princes from all over the world to once again see the power of the three Jin alliance.

That is to say, when the eyes of the whole world were focused on the land of Wangji, which was at the center of the storm, the Qin army, which played an important role in this dispute, had already returned to the capital of Yueyang.

Standing on the slightly bumpy chariot beneath him, looking at the familiar figure on the city wall not far away, Ying Qian, as the deputy general of the army, had a touch of joy on his face.

"General, you see, Quliang has come to greet me on the orders of my father-in-law."

Hearing Ying Qian's joyful words in his ears, Zhang Xuan, the commander-in-chief of the army, didn't have much joy on his face. He just stared ahead calmly and silently.

Soon this large army arrived at the foot of Yueyang City. The moment the chariot stopped, Ying Qian couldn't wait to jump off.

He ran to his younger brother as fast as he could, and Ying Qian hugged him tightly.

"Quliang, you miss me so much after being apart for several months."

Ying Quliang felt the huge power coming from his body, and when he heard the extremely familiar voice in his ears, a bright smile appeared on his face.

After a few breaths, the two brothers broke away from their respective arms and looked at each other with deep concern in their eyes.

"Eldest brother has become darker, stronger, and more like a general." He stretched out his right hand and clenched it into a fist and hit Ying Qian's chest heavily. Ying Quliang said with relief: "These days, father-in-law.

, my mother always talks about my elder brother."

"They will definitely be happy from the bottom of their hearts to see that their eldest brother has returned safely and is in such good shape."

When Ying Qian heard what Ying Quliang said, the original expression on his face immediately froze, and a touch of emotion appeared on his face.

His mother was worried when his son traveled thousands of miles, and so was his father, not to mention that this time Ying Qian went to a battlefield full of dangers.

Almost every day after Ying Qian left Qin, Duke Qin Ying Shixi and his wife would worry and miss their son.

After learning this, Ying Qian suddenly felt a warmth in his heart. At this moment, he couldn't wait to see the people who were worried about him.

Ying Quliang saw the change in the expression on Ying Qian's face. How could he still not understand what he was thinking after spending many years together.

I saw Ying Quliang casually taking a prepared war horse from the cavalry on the side, and thrust the reins of the war horse into Ying Qian's hand.

"Brother, go ahead, father-in-law, mother is still waiting for you."

"good."

Ying Qian didn't hesitate at all, he immediately got on his horse and galloped towards the Qin Palace in Yueyang City.

"Drive... drive... drive..."

Ying Qian's hurried sound of urging the horse became more and more distant, and soon his figure disappeared from Ying Quliang's sight.

At this time, Ying Quliang slowly turned around and looked at Zhang Xi, who had already walked towards him step by step.

"The last general, Zhang Xi, has met the young master."

Seeing Zhang Yu salute to him, Ying Quliang immediately stepped forward and supported him, "General, you must not do this."

"The general went on this expedition and made great contributions to our Qin State. He is a meritorious official of our Qin State. It is Quliang who should pay homage to the general. Please accept Quliang's worship."

"Young master, you don't have to be like this." He held Ying Quliang with both hands, who was about to salute, and heard Zhang Yu say in a deep voice: "However, after a small victory over the coalition forces, they even took the initiative to withdraw. How dare the general to do so?"

Where do you think you are a hero?"

Faced with Zhang Yu's denial of his own achievements, Ying Quliang, who was far away in the Qin State and watched everything, had different opinions.

"General, there is no need to belittle oneself. Qu Liang thinks that the general's expedition has done two great things for the Qin State."

"First of all, the general's expedition not only resulted in a small victory over the coalition forces and greatly enhanced the prestige of our Qin State, but also found out the details of the three Jin coalition forces on the battlefield, providing valuable information for our Qin State's future wars.

"

After hearing what Ying Quliang said about his first achievement, Zhang Yu quickly refuted the situation, saying, "The reason why our army was able to defeat the coalition forces in this battle was due to the sacrifice of our officers and soldiers. The last general really dare not take the credit."

"In addition to the soldiers' lives, the general's battle planning also plays a decisive role in victory. The general does not need to deny this."

After once again affirming Zhang Yu's first achievement, he listened to Ying Quliang in front continue to talk.

"Secondly, the general was able to actively choose to retreat at a critical moment in the war, which not only saved the lives of our Qin army officers, but also inspired the ambition of the three Jin Dynasties to deeply intervene in the civil strife of the Western Zhou Dynasty."

"Now that the princes from all over the world are wary of the Three Jins, our Qin State has also gained more potential allies, which may be able to give our Qin State more help in retaking Hexi in the future."

After finishing talking about the two achievements he considered, Ying Quliang stared at Zhang Xi in front of him with burning eyes.

"Now, General, do you still think that you are not a hero of our Qin State?"

Just when Zhang was silent, Ying Quliang stepped forward, held his hand, and said in a deep voice: "My father-in-law has already held a banquet in the palace to entertain the general and all the meritorious generals."

After saying this, Ying Quliang pulled Zhang Yu to face the Qin army soldiers, with a solemn look on his face.

"Soldiers, follow me into the city."

"Thank you, sir."

…

After a hearty banquet, Ying Quliang returned to his mansion in Yueyang in a carriage.

As he walked towards the backyard, the appearance of a figure made him stop in his tracks.

Looking at this middle-aged man who came to Qin not long ago and claimed to be from Zheng, Ying Quliang had a look of respect on his face.

Through the in-depth conversation they had when they first met that day, Ying Quliang already had a rough understanding of the talents of the middle-aged man in front of him.

In Ying Quliang's opinion, this middle-aged man is really a great talent.

And if Ji Chao, the young master who was about to become the Duke of Western Zhou, stood here, he would definitely find that the middle-aged man standing in front of Ying Quliang was none other than his teacher Zheng Sheng.

Slowly arriving in front of Zheng Sheng, Ying Quliang asked with a somewhat concerned tone: "Are you still asleep, sir?"

"It's a long night, but I can't sleep for a while, so why not go out for a walk." After taking a look at Ying Quliang in front of him, Zheng Sheng asked back: "Master, are you coming back from a banquet?"

"To be honest, sir, General Zhang Yu led his army back to Yueyang successfully today. My father-in-law hosted a banquet in the palace to entertain the meritorious soldiers..."

Before he finished speaking, Ying Quliang recalled the conversation they had when they met that day, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

"That day, Mr. Ri once said that our country, Qin, will be great in the world in the future. I wonder if this is true?"

Facing Ying Quliang's gaze directed at him, a solemn look suddenly appeared on Zheng Sheng's face.

"Exactly."
