Daqin: Prince Peerless, guarding Hangu for ten years!

Chapter 257 Yingjun is missing?
"Urgent report!"

"Hanguguan urgent report!"

A cavalryman rode a war horse through the streets of Xianyang City, shouting loudly.

Upon hearing the urgent news from Hangu Pass, the people standing on both sides of the street immediately made way for it.

At this moment, the situation at Hangu Pass is the most important thing for the entire Qin State. It can even be said that the survival of Qin State is all staked on Hangu Pass.

"drive!"

The scout kept whipping his horse with a whip and ran straight towards Xianyang Palace.

And this time.

Inside the Xianyang Palace.

In front of the Palace of the King of Qin.

Ying Zhu was standing in the hall waiting anxiously.

After Yan Da left, he immediately drove the carriage to Xianyang without stopping.

At the moment, he is probably the only one who knows the news about Yingjun's return to the city. As long as this news is told to the king, the morale of the Qin army will be greatly improved, and even the morale of the army will also increase a lot.

Especially the armies of the Four Kingdoms. Once they know the news that Yingjun has returned to the city, some people in the armies of the Four Kingdoms will be afraid of Yingjun. If the enemy soldiers of the Four Kingdoms know that Yingjun has returned to Qin, the morale of the troops will also be affected. shake.

Moreover, in just one month, Yingjun annihilated the Qiang, Yuezhi, and Xiongnu tribes on the grassland, which had troubled the Qin Kingdom for hundreds of years. This creation of the world can only be told from his mouth. , Only then can the ministers and kings of Qin be convinced.

After all, no one has ever been able to destroy the grassland like Ying Jun. Even the thought of destroying the grassland has been achieved by few people in the entire Qin Kingdom.

"The king is here!"

As the guards shouted, Ying Ji strode in from the main door.

Ying Zhu quickly turned around and knelt down, lowered his head and said respectfully: "See you, Your Majesty!"

The ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government also bent down and knelt down one after another.

"I'll see you, Your Majesty!"

Ying Ji strode past everyone, walked straight to the throne in the main hall, sat down, and said to everyone kneeling under his highness: "Get up!"

"Thank you king!"

After Ying Zhu finished speaking, he immediately stood up and looked up at Ying Ji.

I saw that Ying Ji's face was a little haggard, and his previous solemn and majestic aura was completely gone.

You can still vaguely see the somewhat darkened eye sockets.

It seems that the king must have been keeping an eye on the situation at Hangu Pass during this period, which is why he looks haggard.

But now Brother Jun has returned to Qin far beyond the expected time.

He was even on the way to Hangu Pass with his troops and horses.

Once Jun brother reaches Hangu Pass, Qin's crisis will be alleviated, and he will even have a chance to repel the armies of the four countries in one fell swoop.

Ying Ji was sitting on the throne, looking at Ying Zhu who was standing with His Highness, his eyes couldn't help but be confused. It had only been a few days since he last came to Xianyang, so why was he here again?
The last time I came here was to report the news that Yingjun sent people to send supplies. Why did I come here this time?

Moreover, he is responsible for training horses at the Shandan Military Horse Farm. If he comes and goes like this, when will the war horses prepared for the Qin cavalry be tamed?
Thinking of this, Ying Ji showed a trace of dissatisfaction on his face. He turned to look at Ying Zhu who was standing under His Highness and said: "Zizizhu, I..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a rush of sound from the door of the hall.

"Urgent report!"

"Hanguguan urgent report!"

A scout's voice sounded outside the hall.

As soon as they heard that it was an urgent report from Hangu Pass, everyone in the court suddenly became noisy, and everyone was talking about it.

"Listen quickly, it's news from Hangu Pass!" "That's right, it's the news from Hangu Pass. After so many days, there is finally news from Hangu Pass!"

"Now that there is news from Hangu Pass, it must be that General Wang Jian has repulsed the armies of the Four Kingdoms. With General Wang Jian's strength, it will be easy to deal with these evil deeds of the Four Kingdoms."

"The captain is right. These countries have jointly invaded our borders of Great Qin many times. Each time they were aggressive, but in the end they were defeated miserably. How can our borders of Great Qin allow others to invade so wantonly?"

"..."

Many ministers standing in the court watched the scout come in from outside the hall. They all stopped talking and looked at the scout with expectant eyes.

Even Ying Ji, who was sitting on the throne, couldn't help but stare at him.

Now the victory or defeat of Hangu Pass is related to the fate of the entire Qin Dynasty.

Chu State did not join the alliance this time, which has always been a hidden danger to Da Qin.

It would be good if Wang Jian could repel the armies of the four countries. In this way, even if Chu made a move, Qin would be able to respond in time and avoid being attacked by Chu.

Now that the Qin State is seriously short of food and grass, it is afraid that Hangu Pass and the armies of the four countries will reach a stalemate and become a protracted war.

In this way, the four countries can afford to consume energy, but Qin cannot afford it!

If the Chu State takes the opportunity to invade, how will the Qin State's current situation be able to supply food and grass for the two battlefields!
Under the gaze of everyone, the scout quickly ran forward and knelt down in front of the palace, and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the offensives of the armies of the four countries are becoming more and more fierce. General Wang Jian asked the general to inform the king in advance that this time the Hangu Pass will be attacked. The war will become a protracted one,"

The corner of Ying Ji's mouth twitched, and his face suddenly darkened.

Everyone in the court also looked at the scout in astonishment, their eyes full of disbelief.

"This...isn't it true? Even General Wang Jian couldn't repel the armies of the four countries?"

"The armies of the Four Kingdoms are determined to destroy Qin this time!!"

"Destroy Qin? Huh! What a fool's dream! Are they worthy of the four kingdoms?"

"Well said, don't forget, our Qin State does not only have General Wang Jian but one general. This Zhao State may have forgotten how their capital, Handan, was lost in the first place!"

"It's Wang Zijun. Yes, if Wang Zijun comes back, it won't be a problem to repel the armies of the four countries. Even the Zhao Kingdom will probably withdraw its troops immediately after hearing the news that Wang Zijun has returned to the city!!"

"But... where is Wang Zijun now?"

"..."

Prime Minister Fan Sui listened to everyone's discussion, his eyes full of anxiety. Now Qin's hope rests entirely on Wang Zijun.

Only Wang Zijun can bring back the supplies from the grassland and assist Hangu Pass, then Qin still has hope of retreating from the enemy.

Although Wang Zijun is brave, he alone cannot compete with the entire Four Kingdoms, let alone the millions of troops.

In the Battle of Handan, it was only through his personal bravery and the soldiers of Qin that he could successfully defeat the city.

Even so, the Qin State was severely damaged, resulting in a shortage of food and grass.

Thinking of this, Fan Sui quickly stepped forward and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the only solution now is to provoke Wang Zijun to recall him from the grassland as soon as possible!"

His Highness's ministers also nodded in agreement.

Ying Ji took a deep breath. How could he not know this? Long before Wang Jian's army set off, he had already sent people on fast horses to the grassland to report. However, when the scouts went to the grassland, they did not see Wang Zijun at all. Not even the generals under his command were seen.

Only a few soldiers were seen, but how did they, the grassroots soldiers, know where Wang Zijun was?
Ying Ji sighed, glanced at the chamberlain standing next to him, and then raised his hand to rub his head.

The chamberlain nodded, stepped forward and said to the ministers: "The scouts sent by the king to the grassland have returned, but they did not find Wang Zijun, and they did not even find out where Wang Zijun was. There were only some soldiers left on the grassland. "

“Not even the generals under Prince Jun’s command have been seen!”

Everyone standing in front of His Highness suddenly panicked, their eyes full of anxiety.

Wang Zijun is missing?
