Chapter 153: Sir’s orders, I believe in them and will never disobey them!
Han Xin looked at his benefactor in confusion.

His identity seems a little confusing.

He knows so much, even top secrets, and can guarantee my future.

Who is he?
At this moment, Han Xin began to doubt the identity of the person in front of him.

Could he be an important official of the Qin Dynasty?
Otherwise, how could there be new food like potatoes as staple food?

Shouldn’t these new varieties of grain be grown with great care?
This person's identity must be extraordinary in Daqin.

If the Thirteenth Young Master does not accept me, can he still ensure that I have a bright future in Daqin?

Could he also be one of the princes of the Qin Dynasty?

I won't get caught up in the fight for the throne among the princes, right?

Han Xin chewed potatoes, his thoughts racing.

At this time, Ying Zheng spoke again: "You were injured by a wolf today. According to common sense, the wound may fester and fester in seven days, endangering your life."

"And my special golden wound medicine can just save you. Take half of it with you later, and remember to change the medicine every day on the way."

"Take another horse, and I'll leave you some dry food. As long as you can move, go to Xianyang on your own."

When Han Xin heard this, he was shocked. It was indeed true.

He was emphasizing the grace of saving my life and testing my loyalty!
It seems that he arranged for me to serve under the Thirteenth Young Master in order to make me his pawn!

Never mind. He saved my life. I will repay him in the future.

Han Xin thought about it and immediately knelt down and said: "Sir, I will never forget your kindness in saving my life."

"Please rest assured, sir. Even if I join the Thirteenth Prince, as long as you show up, I, Han Xin, will always be your man!"

"If you order me to do so, I, Han Xin, will never frown, even in the face of danger!"

Ying Zheng laughed heartily.

That's what I want you to say.

Han Xin escaped from the brink of death and went straight to Xianyang to report to Ying Heng, while the First Emperor was thinking about his next destination.

Although the trip was short and the places he visited were limited, he had met all kinds of people, from important officials in the court to generals guarding the border, from hardworking farmers to scholars in the enemy camp, and he had a clear idea of ​​the situation of the Qin Dynasty.

At this point, the Eastern Tour may no longer be of great significance.

Moreover, outside Hangu Pass, the tens of thousands of rebels were following closely. Although Qin Shihuang personally led the Snow Dragon Cavalry to defeat them in one fell swoop, he still regarded them as a fragile army.

However, Han Xin's warning made him more cautious.

Ying Zheng decided to go to the front line in person and monitor the two armies for several days.

If Wang Ben and that little Thirteenth boy could quell the rebellion, he would be able to travel peacefully for several months.

On the contrary, he might have to put on his armor and fight again.

The two armies were facing each other, and the continuous rain hindered the Snow Dragon Riders' opportunity to charge.

When Xiang Yu returned with his army, both the morale of the soldiers and their tactical strategies were greatly improved. His military talent, like his gift for martial arts, was unparalleled in the world.

Therefore, even though Wang Ben was well-equipped, had more powerful cavalry and experienced veterans, he was unable to gain the upper hand on the battlefield.

On the contrary, their cavalry attacks were often broken by Xiang Yu's infantry and they suffered repeated defeats.

This made Wang Ben very anxious.

At the same time, Xiang Yu was not a stupid person. Although he disdained to advance westward, he adopted Han Xin's suggestion and secretly learned the equipment technology of the enemy cavalry.

At this moment, the remnants of the six kingdoms behind Xiang Yu were busy forging war horse equipment.

Intelligence on the battlefield and the world situation arrived at the manor in the eastern suburbs of Xianyang along with Han Xin's footsteps.

...On this day, Ying Heng was resting in the garden when he suddenly heard that the Jinyiwei brought several messages. He read them one by one and immediately stood up.

Although the Qin Dynasty was temporarily stabilized thanks to his efforts, the death of the First Emperor made it difficult to reverse the tide of history, and the internal and external crises he had worried about finally arrived.

Ying Heng checked the messages sent one by one.

[Outside Hangu Pass, Xiang Yu's rebels confronted General Wang Ben for many days, and our army lost more than it won. ]

Ying Zheng glanced at it and put it down.

It is not surprising that Wang Ben was defeated by Xiang Yu. With Huo Qubing around, Xiang Yu would have had a hard time becoming a powerful figure.

We only need to wait for another good harvest of grain and fill the Qin granaries. There is no need for a hard battle. The rebels will collapse on their own through consumption alone.

Xiao He, the county magistrate of Pei County, remained as calm as ever and showed no signs of abnormality.

However, Liu Bang, the head of Sishui Pavilion, has been making frequent moves recently, as if he is secretly searching for traces of the Qin royal family. His ambition is obvious.

After Ying Heng finished reading it, he had a plan in mind.

According to the original historical trajectory, after Xiang Liang raised the flag, Liu Bang would join Xiang Liang with the peasant uprising, and then be named King of Han after capturing the Qin King Ziying, and then compete with Xiang Yu for the world.

However, now, due to Ying Heng's intervention, history has deviated from its original track. The peasants of Daqin no longer suffer from hunger, and naturally there will be no peasant uprisings. Liu Bang's rebellious heart has also been suppressed.

However, the nature of a hero is hard to erase, and Liu Bang's desire and ambition for power are still burning.

Therefore, he continued to build his network and look for opportunities, intending to break into Xianyang, which was the core of Qin's power.

This is also the information that Ying Heng currently has.

Although Liu Bang was not a good person, he was indeed talented.

If we need to conquer the Xiongnu territory in the Western Regions in the future and lack the talent to govern, Liu Bang might be useful.

As summer approaches, most counties have continued to experience rainy days, and heavy rainstorms and flooding are expected this summer.

This information is consistent with Ying Heng's prediction.

In the event of heavy rains and floods, crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes may not be able to survive in the south, and we must consider moving them northward for planting.

The disaster in the south was so severe that even these drought-resistant crops could not withstand it.

According to later experience, floods mainly affect the south. If the situation is unacceptable, we can increase planting efforts on hillsides.

In any case, ensuring the stable output of these two crops is of vital importance, as they are related to the food and clothing of tens of millions of people in Daqin!
In addition, cement reserves also need to be accelerated in advance.

After the disaster, there were only a few simple houses left in the disaster area, and it was a good opportunity to build cement houses.

The first to be hit was the capital city of Xianyang.

The Xiongnu and Baiyue received information about the new grain from the Qin Dynasty from an unknown source and were gathering their troops on the border.

Ying Heng frowned slightly when he saw the news. He knew that the news of the new grain was difficult to keep secret, but he did not expect that the Xiongnu and Nanyue would know about it so quickly.

As soon as this information came out, the Xiongnu and Nanyue would definitely launch an attack on the Qin Dynasty. They would never wait until the Qin Dynasty became strong before taking action, as that would mean they would lose their chance.

Clearly, the person who leaked the news had struck a chord.

It is just unknown whether this person was from Xiang Yu's army.

However, there is no need for Ying Heng to worry too much about the border between the two sides at present.

With Meng Tian and Fusu stationed on the northern border and 300,000 elite troops, it would not be a problem to resist the Huns in the short term.

Ren Qi and Zhao Tuo were stationed on the border of Nanyue, especially Zhao Tuo, who was a fierce general.

Although in the original history, he proclaimed himself King of Nanyue after the fall of the Qin Dynasty.

But now the Qin Dynasty is growing stronger and stronger, with Ying Heng here, if Zhao Tuo has any ulterior motives, Ying Heng can lead an army in person at any time to destroy him.
