Chapter 2609: The last words of the Emperor Taishang, the pike army made contributions
With the 'national hatred' skill, Ying Wen, the loss of life essence is extremely serious, and his health is very bad. If it hadn't been for a famous doctor to prolong his life, I am afraid he would have died a few years ago.

But even if he was rescued, Ying Wen could only move around in a wheelchair. He couldn't even walk down the ground for a long time, and he might even die at any time.

However, Ying Wen persisted tenaciously for several years, killing his righteous brother Sun Jian, but he was still alive and well.

Ying Wen is naturally not a person who is afraid of death, but he hopes to see Da Qin accomplish the great cause of dominating the world while he is alive, and this obsession gives him the motivation to persevere.

Ying Wen now earns one day every day he lives, and if he listens to Hua Tuo's words, cultivates his body and mind honestly, and doesn't care about world affairs, he might be able to live a few more years.

But he couldn't bear the loneliness, and insisted on interfering in the issue of Daqin's heir. As a result, he was taken advantage of by the ulterior motive Zhulong, and a case of 'civet cat for prince' was made by accident.

In the midst of this turmoil, Taifu Jia Xu was demoted, Sun Lingming, the Marquis of Qitian, resigned, and Empress Liu Mu of the West Palace took the initiative to resign...

People's attention is attracted by these big people, but they often ignore some small people, such as Qin Rang's death.

On the surface, Qin Rang was only the valet of the Emperor Taishang, but in fact he was Ying Wen's fifth brother.

Qin Rang killed the newly born prince and beat Zixia into a vegetative state, and he had done a lot of bad things before, so he deserved it.

But in the eyes of the older brother Ying Wen, if he hadn't asked Qin Rang to do this, how could Qin Rang be in trouble?

Ying Wen felt that he killed Qin Rang. He owed the youngest brother a great debt, and now he killed Qin Rang because of him, so he naturally felt extremely guilty and remorseful.

Ying Wen has been able to survive until now, mainly because of his obsession, but under the blow of Qin Rang's death, his heart was full of guilt and regret. In addition, his health was not good, so he couldn't hold it any longer. fell ill.

After Ying Hao found out, he naturally sought out a famous doctor to see a doctor for his old father, but what Ying Wen got was a heart disease, and there was no cure for it.

In the end, after holding on for more than a month, Ying Wen, a hero of a generation, still failed to withstand the torture in his heart and died in Luoyang.

As the supreme emperor of Da Qin, Ying Wen naturally held a state mourning after his death.

According to the regulations of royal etiquette, from the date of the emperor's death, civil and military officials need to mourning for 27 days, and during these 27 days, the emperor's review of memorials cannot be written in red pen, but must be written in blue pen. Blue print.

During the mourning period, temples and Taoist temples must ring [-] bells, and chanting and condolence activities are held every day.

In addition, civil and military officials and all the people are not allowed to have fun within 49 days, they are not allowed to slaughter within [-] days, and the people of the whole country are prohibited from marrying within one month.

Of course, there is also the most important point, that is, the use of troops during the national mourning is prohibited.

This is also what Li Jing is most worried about. He is worried that the court will stop all battles on the front line due to the death of the Taishanghuang.

After all, according to the law of etiquette, during the national mourning period, within 27 days, the use of troops is prohibited.

After a month of onslaught, the Qin army suffered great losses, but the Shu army suffered no small losses.

As the attacking side, the Qin army suffered [-] casualties, [-] directly killed, [-] seriously injured, and spent countless armaments and supplies.

As the defending side, the Shu army also suffered [-] casualties, [-] directly killed and [-] seriously injured.

Under the continuous onslaught of the Qin army, the Shu army at Yangping Pass was extremely tired. Even if there were no other plans, Li Jing was sure to force the pass within a month.

Qin Jun's situation is very good now, but if he just gives up and suspends the offensive, then this month's sacrifice and hard work will be in vain, which would be a pity.

Li Jing was naturally reluctant to stop the war, even if he was dismissed due to a national mourning, he did not need to admit any responsibility, but he was still unwilling to stop the army.

After all, this is equivalent to restoring the strength of the Shu army, and if this time the Yangping Pass cannot be attacked, the next attack will only be more difficult.

Li Jing didn't want to make more fearless sacrifices at the level of Yangping, but he didn't say anything about it. Whether or not to fight depends on the decision of the court.

"Send the order, and immediately launch the battle to climb the city, and I will not give up until I break Yangping." Li Jing ordered in a deep voice.

All the generals took orders with a solemn expression, and obviously they all knew what the death of the Emperor Taishang meant to them on the front line.

If the imperial court decides not to fight, there should be a day or two left when the imperial decree is issued, and this day or two will be their last siege time.

If Yangping Pass cannot be breached within these two days, the Qin army can only stop fighting for 27 days.

There was a sense of anxiety in the hearts of all the generals present, so in the next battle to the city, everyone performed extremely hard.

But after all, there are still [-] defenders in Yangping Pass, and there are [-] troops in Hanzhong at the rear, and they may be transferred to Yangping Pass at any time to participate in the defense of the city.

The Shu army had sufficient troops and supplies, and the guards were even more careful to guard against it. They didn't give Li Jing any chance at all. It was simply impossible for the Qin army to force a breakthrough within two days.

However, the Qin army's fierce offensive also put great pressure on the Shu army. Zhang Ren, Liu Er, and Kong Peng did not dare to go to the city to rest, for fear that they would give the Qin army a chance to break through.

The two days of uninterrupted storming resulted in another [-] casualties for the Qin army, which was equivalent to the battle losses of the previous ten days, of which [-] were killed and [-] were seriously injured.

Due to the number of wounded soldiers, the field hospital in the rear could not accommodate them.

Li Jing can only order the wounded soldiers who can be transferred to Chang'an for treatment, while those who cannot be transferred remain in the field hospital.

"The imperial decree has arrived, and Li Jing, the governor of Yongliang, will accept the decree."

After arriving at the front line, Cao Zhengchun, the head of the internal affairs department, holding Ying Hao's imperial decree, immediately entered Li Jing's tent to read the imperial decree, and this imperial decree would also decide whether the Qin army would fight or not.

"My minister, Li Jing respectfully listens to the holy words."

The generals of Yongliang, headed by Li Jing, knelt down to welcome the imperial decree, but they were all very uneasy, worried that this was the imperial decree for them to quit the army and truce, but after listening to it, they all cried out with tears: "The emperor is holy, your majesty is holy. ."

It turned out that before Ying Wen died, he also considered that his death might affect the battle situation on the front line, so he deliberately left his last words:

1. After death, everything should be kept simple, and no arbitrary arrangements are allowed.

2. After the burial, don't bring any funeral goods.

3. The front-line battles will be business as usual, and the troops should not be dismissed and truce because of him.

4....

Although Ying Wen caused a lot of trouble for Ying Hao, he really did it for the good of the country and his son, so he didn't want to cause trouble to Da Qin and his son after his death.

And as soon as Ying Wen's last words came out, the old ministers of Da Qin, especially the old ministers of the Jin family, cried and beat their chests, all of them were moved by the selflessness of the Taishanghuang.

As for Ying Wen's last words, Ying Hao naturally had to obey. Everything was done according to Ying Wen's last words, and the national mourning on the 27th was changed to the 7th day. reduction in magnitude.

Originally, the Chinese and Chinese officials were planning to stop the war in Yangpingguan. After all, it is customary to prohibit the use of troops during the national mourning.

Moreover, Li Jing fought at Yangping Pass for a month, and he lost nearly [-] troops and did not take down, and it didn't look like he could.

It is also timely to stop the loss by dismissing the troops and fighting the truce, so as to save the gang of Yongliang Wufu's head iron, they will not give up if they don't hit their heads and bleed at Yangping Pass.

But Ying Wen didn't want his death to affect the front-line battle, so naturally no one was talking about a truce.

Ying Hao didn't want to waste such a good opportunity. Seeing that no one stood up to oppose it, he made Cao Zhengchun as the imperial envoy, went to the front line to reassure Li Jing, and continued to be responsible for the attack on Hanzhong.

After Cao Zhengchun read the imperial decree, the generals of Yongliang and Liang were collectively moved, but more pressure was in their hearts.

The Emperor Taishang still remembered them before he died, and His Majesty the Emperor also trusted them. The whole of Daqin gave them the greatest support. If they still can't conquer Yangpingguan, then they really want to collectively respond and resign. .

Long Qie, Wu Qi, Wang Jian and the others all wanted to look at Li Jing above. After all, he was the backbone of Yongliang Qin's army.

Li Jing also felt everyone's attention, and calmly and calmly took the imperial decree from Cao Zhengchun, and said in a deep voice, "I would like to trouble your father-in-law to give me a message for the governor, so I would like to thank His Majesty for your trust, and Li Jing would like to issue a military order on behalf of Yongliang Army for one month. I must break the Yangping Pass within, otherwise please behead my head, and the Yongliang Army will be demoted by three levels in a row."

When Cao Zhengchun heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he pinched the orchid finger and smiled: "Since the governor has such determination and confidence, then the old slave will be waiting for your good news in Luoyang."

After Cao Zhengchun left, all the generals gathered around, and you didn't listen to me.

Now that the words have been released, if they don't do it in the end, then they will all be unlucky with Li Jing.

Li Jing was upset by the noise of the crowd, and said angrily, "Shut up for the governor."

For a moment, the scene was silent.

"If you can't break Yangping Pass, the Governor will fall to the ground, and neither of you will be better off. If you want to avoid being demoted by three levels in a row, you will give the Governor to attack Yangping Pass."

Hearing Li Jing's remarks, the generals were also very helpless, and now they had to work hard if they didn't want to be demoted.

Li Jing issued a military order, and also pulled everyone in Yongliang's army. He was cutting his own backs and the backs of those employed by Yongliang's army.

In addition, Li Jing also found some other problems. Although the arrangement he made to break through Yangping Pass was useful, the Shu army had been making corrections and adjustments. If Li Jing had no other backers, he might have been blocked by the Shu army , so they used military orders to force the collective Qin army.

With this military order, there is no other way for Yongliang's army to go except to break through Yangping Pass.

The effect of the military order can be said to be immediate. The Qin army's siege on the third day was [-] to [-]% more violent than the previous two days.

However, relying on the terrain and defensive advantages, the Shu army stubbornly survived, and the Qin army continued to attack round after round.

While Li Jing continued to fight Yangping Pass, Tu Xing Sun Zheng led his army of [-] pegs and was digging an underground tunnel somewhere in Shangyong.

Digging tunnels was one of Li Jing's successors at the beginning of the war, and this was also the first battle of the Zhezi Army.

The reason why Li Jing asked Tu Xingsun to go to Shangyong to dig tunnels instead of digging outside Yangping Pass was mainly because Yangping Pass was a mountainous terrain, surrounded by mountains, and there were stones everywhere, so it was too difficult to dig through.

In addition, on the Yangping Pass side, there are too many Shu troops, and there are many capable people. It is obviously not that easy to dig tunnels under their noses.

Moreover, the Shu army had long since prevented the Qin army from digging tunnels, and installed a Mohist-improved geo-surveying device in Yangping Pass.
Once Qin Jun digs the tunnel and digs the tunnel, the machine will detect it immediately.

On the other hand, Shangyong is different. The number of troops and capable people are far less than that of Yangpingguan. Although the terrain is equally difficult to dig, if you find a good route before digging, it will definitely be much faster than Yangpingguan.

As for the geo-measuring device, although Xicheng also has it, the terrain of Xicheng is not as dangerous as Yangping Pass, so as long as it is not dug into the underground of Xicheng, it will not be detected.

In this way, Li Jing attracted the attention of the Shu army on the front line, while Tu Xingsun took three thousand pegs and started excavation at a certain node at the junction of Shangyong and Xicheng.

If it was a straight-line distance, it only needed to dig twenty kilometers to complete the work, but in order to avoid the exploration of the Shu army, and in order not to frighten the snakes, Tu Xingsun dug a tunnel that was [-] kilometers long, and then dug abruptly through the Shu. Army's West City Defense Line.
