Zhou Ancheng.

In the big tent of the border camp, Qin Huai sat at the head, while General Mu, Deputy General Cheng and other generals were on both sides. The situation at the border could not be delayed, so Qin Huai rode at full speed all the way and passed Chang'an Pass in just three days.

"…Once you leave here, you are no longer within the borders of the Great Qin. Mochuan is located in the east, and the State of Zhao is to the south. There is a mountain called Zhengang Mountain between the two countries. I sent troops to investigate a few days ago, and indeed, I saw a grain and grass team from the State of Zhao heading to Mochuan."

"It seems that the previous news is indeed correct. Damn it, I said that Mo Chuan himself could not even get enough food to eat, so how dare he welcome Wu Shaoqiong into the city? It turns out that he has been secretly colluding with the State of Zhao for a long time!"

General Mu slapped the armrest of his chair and couldn't help swearing.

In fact, they had vaguely guessed something before they came. The terrain of Mochuan was not good and it had just experienced a severe drought. It was unlikely that they would fight to the death with them based solely on the border defense map in Wu Shaoqiong's hand. After all, Mochuan had been at odds with Daqin for many years and had not gotten any good results because of insufficient food and grass and a deficit in the treasury.

Qin Huai frowned, and before he could speak, Deputy General Cheng said:

"Our army has already sent a messenger, but no one from the other side responded. Before Your Highness came, I had already sent people to stake out on Zhengang Mountain. Zhengang Mountain is high and the road is not easy to walk on. All we have to do is intercept their food and fodder carts..."

Qin Huai raised his eyes and chuckled.

"Deputy General Cheng is indeed thorough."

………

Although the battle has not yet started, all necessary actions have been taken. The people hiding on Zhengang Mountain have robbed five carts of food and grass that were transported to Mochuan by the State of Zhao, and have escorted back several of Zhao's chariot guards. In the military camp of Zhou'an City, the soldiers have been training day and night to prepare for the imminent battle.

After Qin Huai finished training his troops and returned to the tent, he wrote an eagle letter to report to the capital as usual. After he finished writing, he took out a brocade bag from his bosom.

I don't know why I have been feeling uneasy these past few days, but he is at the border and is entangled in military affairs. He is so busy that he can't figure out where this uneasiness comes from...

Qin Huai let out a light breath and pointed at the word "Huai" on the brocade bag.

Before he left Beijing, he arranged for the imperial physician to visit Qi's residence every three days under the pretext of Old Master Qi, but...

...Brother will be fine.

He closed his eyes, feeling a little annoyed that he had never told anyone else about his acquaintance with Qi Xiu. Now, the only few people who knew about it were still in this border town, and he couldn't get any information at all...

It seems that I still need to resolve the matter here as soon as possible. I should go back and take a look myself before I can feel at ease.

Before he could think too much, he heard the guard's message outside the tent. He collected his attention, put away the brocade bag, and allowed the person to come in.

at the same time.

In the border town of Mochuan, Wu Shaoqiong was sitting at the table, with two Mochuan burly men standing on both sides, bare-chested, with heavy swords in their hands tapping the ground. With the slightest movement, the silver rings on them would make sounds.
