Chapter 318 If he doesn’t retreat, he will die!

Xianyang.

Shushan Pavilion.

Ying Zheng frowned as he read the latest news from Yuyang County.

He paused for a few breaths before looking up.

Mengyi Lisi and others who were waiting anxiously below watched eagerly.

Ying Zheng took a breath and then said.

"The governor of Yuyang County reported that the prince was not trapped in Chaha."

"Or maybe they broke out after being trapped."

"There are only tens of thousands of barbarian corpses in the Chaha Valley!"

"And there is not a single Da Qin general."

The words fell.

Meng Yi was suddenly startled, then overjoyed.

"So, doesn't it mean that His Highness is fine!"

"The armies of the three counties are at the rear. Although His Highness was able to lead 10,000 cavalry to break through, he did not turn back to join the army."

"What does this mean?"

Meng Yi's surprised rhetorical question has yet to be answered.

Zhao Gao on the side answered excitedly.

"It shows that this siege did not cause any damage to the prince and his soldiers."

"They even had some left to spare."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone deeper and entangled with the Huns!"

Ying Zheng nodded.

Both of them were right.

"It seems like there's nothing wrong with that brat."

"He was not controlled by King Zuogu Li, and he killed many barbarians in the Chaha area!"

Zhao Gao laughed.

"I knew it."

"How could your Highness lose!"

"No one in the vast south can stop him."

"It's just a leftist of the Huns, how can it be possible to keep His Highness!"

Meng Yi was also relieved.

Even Li Si felt lucky.

Fortunately, the news was wrong, otherwise Da Qin would have given up so much territory for nothing.

at this time.

The guard outside the door suddenly broke in.

"Report!"

"Report from the Landong County garrison."

Everyone looked dumbfounded.

Isn't Landong County cleaning up Jizi North Korea?

Is it possible that that area was completed so quickly?

Zhao Gao is very smart.

He immediately took it and handed it to Ying Zheng.

He shouted to the guards on both sides to open the map.

He knew that His Majesty must look at the map.

Sure enough, Ying Zheng observed while flipping through the pages.

After a while, a smile appeared.

"Landong's 20,000-strong army has already swept through the territory of the Jizi Dynasty."

"Now all the territory north of the Han River belongs to our Great Qin territory!"

Everyone looked overjoyed again.

Only Li Si looked worried.

"Back then, we destroyed the Yan Kingdom."

"The reason why we didn't continue to the east is because Donghu is entrenched in the north."

"If we advance further east, our Great Qin's front will be stretched too far, and it will be difficult to defend against the Donghu invasion."

"Now, although Donghu is gone, the left side of the Xiongnu is more prosperous than Donghu."

"Even if Landong County wipes out the Jizi Dynasty."

"But once the Huns' left army moves south, we will still be unable to defend it."

Li Si sighed heavily.

"Pity!"

"This is a somewhat useless move to win."

"These territories will still have to be given away in vain."

Meng Yi blinked, although he didn't agree with Li Si.

I just got two pieces of good news that will shock everyone here.

But I have to admit it.

This is indeed the case.

Liandong County is already located in the east.

It was only possible to maintain close contact with Lanxi and Daqin.

It will be difficult to control if they continue eastward, and it will be even harder to organize a large army to resist the barbarians.

Once the Xiongnu went south, in order to protect other counties, they would inevitably shrink their troops.

These places will be abandoned first when the time comes.

Hearing this, Zhao Gao raised his eyebrows.

Looking at Li Si, he reminded.

"do not forget."

"Your Highness just defeated the soldiers from the left in the Chaha area."

"Tens of thousands of them died!"

"It's hard to say that His Highness has destroyed my courage. How can I find the courage to go south?"

But Li Si shook his head.

"The army of the left, since it annexed Donghu."

"There are tens of thousands of cavalry and nearly one hundred thousand infantry."

"With such a force, even if His Highness can take advantage for a while, it will be difficult for him to completely gain the upper hand in the front."

"Now it's their left part that is being dragged down by His Highness. Once they react."

"Abandon the search for His Highness's small force and go directly south."

"The pressure on Yuyang Yanmen and other counties will be very great."

Li Si sighed.

"That's why our war on the west side must be resolved quickly."

Zhao Gao looked at Li Si's slightly solemn face.

But he sneered.

"That's because you don't know His Highness' abilities!"

"Your Highness can kill tens of thousands of opponents in a single battle."

"You can win the second and third battles."

"Until the left part is killed so that it dares not show its head!"

Zhao Gao looked so protective of Ying Xuan.

Let Li Si smile helplessly.

"Why don't I wish His Highness to do this?"

"But miracles can't always happen to one person."

"Besides, he still has an army of more than 200,000 in the south."

"But now he only has 10,000 riders even if he has a lot of battles."

"No matter what, we will destroy Jizi North Korea and defeat the 30,000 elites of the Qiulin clan."

"Killed tens of thousands more troops on the left."

"Your Highness has done enough!"

"If you continue to have unrealistic expectations for him, that's not advocacy."

"It's about killing him!"

Li Si frowned and reminded Zhao Gao.

If His Highness is constantly pushed to higher places.

In case the final expectations are not met.

It will make that already very difficult feat.

Being considered by everyone as not working hard enough.

Maybe even accuse him of not living up to expectations.

Zhao Gao was suddenly startled.

I also immediately thought of this layer.

He frowned immediately and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Li Si smiled slightly.

It seems that Zhao Gao really supports it sincerely.

Ying Zheng above also spoke.

"In any case, since he is not trapped, it has exceeded expectations."

"Now we have destroyed Jizi North Korea and defeated a large army on the left."

"This is an incredible achievement."

"Send the order!"

"Let Yuyang's army send people to find him."

"Let him return to the territory temporarily and rest for a while before attacking."

"Don't fight with a tired army. If you are really surrounded by the enemy, it will be a big loss!"

At this point, no one had any objections.

But Zhao Gao has not yet passed on the decree.

Suddenly there was another sound outside the hall.

"Report!"

"The governor of Landong County reports!"

Everyone in the hall was stunned.

Didn’t you just apply for it?

Why are you reporting again?

Zhao Gao even walked out, pointed at the guard's nose and cursed.

"Is it possible that you've become dizzy?"

"Landong County's report has just been reported, but you still dare to shout."

"It's just a matter of thinking!"

"It's hard for you to serve His Majesty, but you dare to make such a mistake. Do you want to be demoted from the palace?"

But when the words fell, the guard who had given Zhao Gao a lot of money was revealed.

He smiled bitterly at Zhao Gao.

"Official order!"

"Nothing wrong."

"It was the Landong County garrison just now."

"He is now the governor of Landong County!"

After the words fell, Zhao Gao was also stunned.

I asked again before I understood.

His face suddenly turned ugly.

He took the report and didn't know whether he should present it to His Majesty.

If the two memorials are the same, then he will definitely be scolded.

But if it is different, he is just deceiving and not repaying.

He couldn't look at this thing first.

The only prime minister who could see was also in the palace.

You can't let Li Si see the content first in front of His Majesty, right?

Zhao Gao's face suddenly turned into a bitter gourd.

Finally he sighed.

After all, there is no way to avoid this scolding.

He bit the bullet and submitted the report to Ying Zheng.

"His Majesty."

"This is a report written by the governor of Landong County himself!"

In order to make it clear, Zhao Gao also said the word "personal hands" with an accent.

I just want to tell His Majesty.

Even if the report is repeated, it is Landong County's problem and has nothing to do with him!

Ying Zheng also raised his eyebrows.

"Let me see, what important news."

"Let the Sheriff of Landong County submit it in two batches!" Ying Zheng took it over and everyone immediately held their breath.

But as soon as he took a look, his eyes widened.

Then stood up suddenly.

Ying Zheng walked off the stage without saying a word and came to the map.

"Zhao Gao!"

"Where is Langjuxu Mountain?"

"Mark it for me!"

Beside him, Zhao Gao, who was originally worried, suddenly trembled.

Then he replied hesitantly.

"I~I don't know!"

At this time, Meng Yi, who was watching the show, immediately ran to his side.

He stretched out his hand and measured two hundred miles north of Yuyang County in Daqin.

Then he knocked on a wave-shaped peak.

"His Majesty."

"This place is Langjuxu Mountain."

"We are already deep into the Huns."

"It is their holy mountain, and it is also the place where they offer sacrifices to heaven!"

Seeing this, Ying Zheng already frowned.

He frowned and thought for a long time.

Then he said somewhat hollowly.

"The Sheriff of Landong County said."

"He has already occupied this place with an army of 30,000 people!"

The voice fell.

Everyone was stunned.

Meng Yi's eyes widened even more.

He glanced at the Langjuxu Mountain hundreds of miles away from the border of Daqin.

Then he quickly stepped forward and took the report from Ying Zheng's hand.

I stared at it several times before exclaiming.

"The Holy Mountain of the Xiongnu was captured by His Highness and his army!"

Li Si blinked.

He opened his mouth and asked.

"Are you sure it's Lang Juxu Mountain?"

"That's the Holy Mountain of the Huns!"

"The left wing will fight to the death."

But Meng Yi stuffed the memorial into his arms.

"See for yourself!"

Li Si opened it hurriedly.

After a few breaths, there was another exclamation.

"It's really a fight!"

"We also held a ceremony at the top of the mountain!"

"Is His Highness crazy?"

"He is trying to force King Zuo Guli to death!"

Zhao Gao looked at Li Si who looked shocked.

His face immediately changed, he raised his head and said proudly.

"Ha ha!"

"Didn't the Prime Minister say that just now?"

"Don't miracles always happen to a person!"

"How is it now?"

Li Si had no time to pay attention to Zhao Gao at the moment.

He just rolled his eyes at him angrily.

You didn't do it, so what are you doing here?

Then he worried again.

"Your Highness's move is too cruel!"

"It's like disturbing their ancestral graves."

"This arouses their desperate desire, but it is easy for them to fall into danger!"

But Zhao Gao sneered.

"It's still dangerous!"

"Every time you suspect His Highness is in danger, aren't you always crushed by reality?"

"The Holy Land has been captured!"

"Perhaps the left wing has been completely defeated by His Highness."

Li Si looked at Zhao Gao who kept ridiculing him.

Some are angry.

"It was mentioned in the report from the governor of Landong County."

"Your Highness only defeated three cavalry groups on the left."

"There are still hundreds of thousands of troops on the left!"

But Meng Yi, who had seen it next to him, lowered his head, stared at the map and continued.

"But he also said that the left wing has been forced to retreat to Guyan Mountain!"

As Meng Yi spoke, he circled the very conspicuous Dragon City and Guyan Mountain not far to the right.

Then take a few steps back.

He said with a look of disbelief.

"What kind of pressure would make King Zuo Guli give up the road to Dragon City!"

Li Si saw this scene.

The pupils also contracted instantly.

There was a long silence before he spoke.

"There are only two possibilities, either he is a spy that our Great Qin has buried among the Xiongnu."

"Either!"

"If he doesn't retreat, he will die!"

Everyone fell silent.

Spy, that's nonsense.

If King Zuo Guli could be a spy, then the Xiongnu would have belonged to the Qin Dynasty long ago.

But an army of hundreds of thousands will die if they don’t retreat!

If they were facing a million-strong army.

Maybe there's nothing wrong with that.

But His Highness only has 10,000 people!

Ten thousand people are not even enough for them to defend a county seat.

Several people stared at the map.

Looking at that piece of land, it is another territory the size of Henan.

His Highness bit him off from the Huns.

All swallowed dry and hard saliva.

Zhao Gao could no longer bear it.

He clenched his fists and shouted.

"Your Highness is mighty!"

The shout seemed to wake up Ying Zheng, who was constantly thinking.

He looked up suddenly.

Suddenly asked Meng Yi.

"Where have the soldiers from all walks of life in the south arrived now?"

Meng Yi was interrupted by the shouting and had no time to sort out the numb feeling on his scalp.

He replied subconsciously.

"Now the southern army is mainly divided into seven parties!"

"Chen Sheng and Teng Wan are the fastest. They have arrived at the south side of Taiyuan County with a total of 120,000 troops."

"Wu Guangze arrived at Shangjun with fifty thousand troops."

"But today it seems to have suddenly turned and started to approach Chen Sheng eastwards."

Meng Yi just wanted to talk about the two people in detail.

But he didn't expect Ying Zheng to interrupt suddenly.

"What about the rest?"

Meng Yi paused.

"There are five parties left."

"Zhang Han and Ren Xiao join forces together, with a strength of 110,000."

"Changlin and Changsha prefectures join forces together, with a strength of 150,000."

"Qinghai Commandery King Li has fifty thousand cavalry and has arrived at Yue Commandery."

"The 120,000 allied troops from Yelang, Kunming, Gouding, and Dian have arrived in Hanzhong."

Meng Yi looked up.

"Uncle Xiang was supposed to be the fastest."

"The 30,000 navy troops he brought with him turned around and stayed in Lujiang County for many days before moving up the river."

"At this moment, we have arrived in Hanzhong and are changing from the river (Yangtze River) to the land route to continue heading north."

Meng Yi finished speaking.

Ying Zheng finally turned his attention.

From there, we retreated to the left side of Guyan Mountain.

He glanced hard at Longcheng.

Then he walked to the entrance of the palace with a frown.

Looking up at the blue sky in the distance.

Speak softly.

"Dragon City!"

"That brat almost hit the Hu family's hometown in one breath!"

Ying Zheng's tone seemed to be teaching him a lesson.

It seems like he is proud.

He paused for a few breaths before continuing.

"What if we add these 550,000 troops?"

"Plus the 600,000 troops from the north!"

Ying Zheng turned around and looked at everyone.

"You guys say it."

"A million-strong army."

"Enough for him to crush the Huns!"

The words fell.

Everyone in the hall opened their mouths.

Li Si was the first to react.

"But the Hu cavalry are flexible."

"Even if our millions of troops push through."

"But they can still escape easily and come back after our army retreats!"

"And~."

Li Si hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head and continued.

"Food has begun to be in short supply everywhere!"

"If the army hesitates in the north."

"There is a danger of running out of food if we can't do it."

"It may cause a catastrophe by then!"

Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes.

Logistics is already difficult, and now there are millions of troops.

It almost exhausted all of Da Qin's savings.

Ying Zheng also knew about this situation.

But this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

If he misses it, I wonder if he can still do it in his lifetime.

Ying Zheng frowned.

Finally, he looked to the sky.

"Bunny!"

"That's all I can do!"

"leftover."

"It's all on you!"
