Emperor Qin Ba Shi

Chapter 449 Yingxia
In the early morning of the next day, Lin Feng led [-] elite cavalry and drove westward secretly along the northern foot of Nanshan Mountain.At the same time, Hu Hai's remaining [-] troops returned to the Lantian Camp.

This is the tradition of the Great Qin Empire, even Hu Hai is no exception.What's more, once the army enters Xianyang, once there are changes in Sanchuan County and Hedong County, the support will be too slow, which is not good for the Great Qin Empire.

Hu Hai had no choice but to leave the army behind and stationed in the Lantian camp. As a result, only the [-] royal guards who were temporarily selected to guard the imperial chariot were left.

"Your Majesty, there are only [-] royal guards, and if you go to Xianyang like this, I'm afraid..." Looking at the sparse royal guards, Han Tan couldn't help hesitating.

Glancing at Han Tan, Hu Hai shook his head.He could understand the meaning of Han's conversation. He had been on the expedition for more than a year, and he knew nothing about the situation in Xianyang City.

Just a five thousand army, going to Xianyang like this, if something happens, it can be said that it will be beyond our reach, and even if an accident happens, it will be impossible to recover.

Thoughts flickered in his mind, Hu Hai sighed quietly, and said: "Since the Shang Dynasty's political reform, the Daqin law system: the divisions enter the country, the army returns to the Lantian camp, and they are not allowed to enter Xianyang. Whether it is the emperor or the generals, this is the case."

"Qin Fa is the foundation of the Great Qin Empire, and we must not make an exception because of me. The so-called rules are only called rules if they are adhered to and followed."

"As the emperor of the Great Qin Empire, I need to take the lead in obeying the rules. What's more, in Xianyang today, there are [-] troops, which are enough to suppress everything!"

……

This is not Hu Hai's self-confidence, but the emptiness of Xianyang City, which has reached a shocking level.At this time, the Great Qin Empire belonged to the strong outside and the middle.

Almost all the troops are deployed on the border, in places such as Beidi and Sanchuan County.As a result, in the entire Guanzhong, except for the city guards with insufficient combat effectiveness, there is not much power.

"Your Majesty, in the field of power, the most important thing is the gain or loss of power. Blood relationship is not a foolproof bond." Wei Liao's eyes flashed: "I am going to Xianyang, and I have already made preparations so that nothing will go wrong!"

"Ok!"

Nodding his head, Hu Hai understood the meaning of Wei Liao's words.Leading the army to the east by himself, in the entire Great Qin Empire, there was only one person who stood tall.

Power is a poison, and once you've got it, it's impossible to quit.It will only become more obsessed and crazier.

"I know it in my heart!" Hu Hai's eyes flashed a look of solemnity, he waved his hand at the army, and said: "Command the three armies, speed up——!"

"Yes!"

Following Qin Emperor Hu Hai's order, the Qin army speeded up in vain.Without the encumbrance of the army, Hu Hai's journey was much faster, and he approached Liyang after half a day's march.

"Your Majesty, Liyang is ahead, do you want to enter the city?" Han Tan's expression changed slightly, and he asked Hu Hai.

Hearing this, Hu Hai's expression suddenly became complicated, he turned his head to look at Han Tan, and said, "Who is Liyang Ling today? Is it Ying Xi?"

"Your Majesty, Liyang Ling is still the elder Yingxie of the clan!"

After pondering for a moment, looking at Liyang, who was getting closer and closer, and had already seen the outline of the big city clearly, a light flashed across Hu Hai's eyes: "Enter the city!"

"Yes--!"

Nodding in agreement, Han Tan turned around and shouted, "Your Majesty has an order: the army enters Liyang—!"

"rumble--"

……

Hu Hai's entry into Liyang was not a whim, but a reason why he had to come.In the original route, after passing Lantian Daying, you can go straight to Xianyang.

But Hu Hai ordered to change the route and chose to lead the army straight into Liyang.

Liyang is the capital where Lord Xian moved to the east to fight against Wei, and it is also the birthplace of Duke Xiao of Qin and Shang Yang's reform.After the capital moved westward to Xianyang, Liyang was called the Eastern Capital by the old Qin people.

Liyang held an extremely important position in the minds of the old Qin people. After moving from the capital to the east, whenever the emperor returned from the east to the west, he only had to pass through Liyang.

As long as there is no urgent military situation or urgent political affairs, they always have to go to Liyang for inspection. Although there is no express regulation, it is also an unwritten rule.

And Hu Hai knew one thing in his heart, that is, among the local officials in the major counties and counties of the Great Qin Empire, the three capitals and three orders are the most prominent.

One is the imperial capital Xianyang decree, the second is the western capital Yongcheng decree, and the third is the eastern capital Liyang decree.Moreover, these three capitals and three orders are generally held by the Ying family.

For example, Ling Liyang Ling, Hu Hai has only heard his name, and knows that he is a member of the royal family, but he has never seen him before, but Hu Hai knows that Li Yang Ling is a distant branch of the Ying family.

Because of this, Hu Hai must ensure that the Liyang Ling, Yongcheng Ling, Xianyang Ling, and the generals of Lantian Daying are all loyal to him.

Only in this way can he have no worries and achieve great things in the vast world.

"The minister Yingxia pays homage to His Majesty, and sees the Taiwei..." Before the army arrived in Liyang City, Liyang Ling Yingxia had already led the army out of the city to meet him.

Glancing at Yingxia, Hu Hai's eyes flashed brightly, he waved his hand, and said, "Liyangling, don't be too polite, please come up—!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After nodding his thanks, Ying Xie bowed deeply to Hu Hai, and said, "This is not a place to talk. Your Majesty, please enter the city. I will specially prepare a banquet to cleanse your Majesty and the Taiwei!"

"it is good!"

Nodding his head, Hu Hai laughed loudly: "Han Tan, lead the army into the city and let the brothers have a full meal!"

"On behalf of the officers and men of the three armies, I thank Your Majesty in advance!" Han Tan nodded, then turned and left.

……

Ying Xie was not a simple person, and was deeply loved by Shi Huang in the first emperor's reign.After all, he was able to become Liyang Ling, and he did not lose power after he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, which shows how powerful Ying Xie is.

Because of this, Hu Hai did not underestimate Ying Xie at all.Because he knew in his heart that the importance of Liyang Order to him was self-evident.

After eating and drinking, Qin Emperor Hu Hai's eyes flashed brightly, he looked at Ying Xie beside him, and said, "Old man, how is the situation in Liyang recently?"

"Your Majesty, since His Majesty went east, the Hangu Pass is heavily stationed, and the area around Yueyang is as stable as Mount Tai..." Ying Xi did not refute Hu Hai's address.

Because according to the relationship among the royal family, Ying Xie was Hu Hai's uncle, and was of the same generation as Shi Huangdi.

Now that Hu Hai said that he was an old uncle, he just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to have a relationship with Ying Xie.The support of Liyang Ling has an extraordinary impact on Hu Hai's next big move.

With the support of Liyang Ling, it will be much smoother, so at this time, Hu Hai has no choice but to show his favor to Yingxie.

"Ah."

Nodding his head, a flash of light flashed across Hu Hai's eyes, he took a deep look at Yingxia, paused every word, and said, "Xianyang, the capital of the emperor, Yongcheng, the capital of the west, and Liyang, the capital of the east, are the three major places of the Great Qin Empire."

"I personally sit in Xianyang, the imperial capital, and my uncle sits in Liyang. Only in this way can I rest assured..."
