Daqin: Prince Peerless, guarding Hangu for ten years!

Chapter 258: What, went to Hangu Pass!
Wang Zijun has disappeared!

Now the situation of Qin State can be described as hanging by a thread, and everyone's hope lies in Wang Zijun.

Wang Zijun went to attack the grassland precisely to seize supplies from the aliens on the grassland and alleviate the crisis of Qin's lack of food and grass.

Now General Wang Jian has also sent people to send back the news. The battle at Hangu Pass has completely turned into a protracted war of attrition.

If there is not enough food and grass to supply Hangu Pass, how will the army deal with the four-nation army with sufficient food and grass?
If Hangu Pass is lost as a result, Qin's strength will be severely damaged and may even face the risk of annihilation.

If the country is about to be destroyed, how can we realize the ambition of the kings of all ages to go eastward?

Upon hearing the news of Wang Zijun's disappearance, some ministers turned pale and started talking in panic.

"Prince Jun is missing. How to solve the food and grass crisis? Is it possible that Qin's long-cherished wish to unify the six countries will stop here?"

"The Qin Dynasty has gone through countless hardships and tribulations to achieve what it is today. Wang Zijun's majestic military strategy is unparalleled in the world. He is not only the king's prince, but also the hope of the future of the Qin State. He has inherited the legacy of all previous kings. It’s impossible for him to be unaware of Da Qin’s current crisis. Maybe Wang Zijun has something more important to do!”

"Impossible. There is nothing more important than repelling the armies of the four countries now. Even if Wang Zijun is not on the grassland, people should send the captured materials back. This way, even if they cannot return home, Qin can still have some breathing space."

"Didn't Prince Jun send someone back to the Qiang clan's supplies earlier?"

"How can just one Qiang clan be compared with the entire Qin Dynasty? The supplies alone are far from enough. Now we can only slaughter all the cattle, sheep and horses and send them to Hangu Pass. This will allow the army to hold on longer. Some time."

"These war horses were taken from the grasslands by Wang Zijun with great effort. How could they be slaughtered like this? These war horses are our hope for Great Qin to go east in the future!!"

"If we don't slaughter these cattle, sheep and horses, how will the food crisis on the battlefield at Hangu Pass be solved? If the army doesn't have enough to eat, what fighting power will it have? If the army has no fighting power, how will it repel the armies of the four countries and solve the crisis of Qin!"

"Is there really no other better way?"

"..."

Fan Sui stood in front of the hall, listening to the discussion of the people behind him, his brows furrowed involuntarily, thoughts racing in his mind.

Nowadays, all the six countries are dominated by infantry, and it is precisely because of Li Mu's border cavalry that Zhao State has grown stronger.

Likewise, cavalry poses the greatest threat to infantry on the field.

If Qin could have its own cavalry, coupled with Qin's crossbows, no one among the six kingdoms would be able to stop it.

Fan Sui took a deep breath, turned to face the people behind him and angrily shouted: "No! These war horses must not be slaughtered!"

"They were all purchased by the soldiers of Great Qin with their lives. If these war horses can be trained over time, who among the Six Kingdoms can stop them?"

As soon as the words fell, the discussion in the entire hall suddenly stopped.

All the ministers fell into silence.

Even Ying Ji, who was sitting on the throne, couldn't help but look at Fan Sui, with a glimmer of light in his eyes.

Is this not what he had in mind?
If the Qin State did not have the problem of food and grass, it would not be easy to destroy a country with its current strength. It can be won in a snap.

How can it be done by just one country?
What is needed to unify the six countries is to conquer the world in one go. Qin's current strength is far from enough.

Qin not only needs more food and grass, equipment for its soldiers, but also an army strong enough to conquer the six countries in one fell swoop.

Only by meeting these conditions can Qin be able to unify the six countries!
At present, Prince Jun's whereabouts are unknown, the food and grass crisis has not been resolved, and even the armies of the four countries have not been repulsed.

The top priority is to repel the armies of the four countries first and save more food and grass for Qin.

Ying Ji took a deep breath, looked at Prime Minister Fan Sui who was standing under His Highness, and asked: "Prime Minister Fan, do you have any strategy to retreat from the enemy?" Fan Sui frowned slightly, with a hint of embarrassment on his face, and slowly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, although I have a plan to retreat from the enemy, I'm afraid your Majesty will not agree to it!"

Everyone around him also turned to look at Fan Sui, their eyes full of expectation.

Now that Wang Zijun is away, Fan Sui has naturally become the backbone of everyone.

When he heard that there was a plan to retreat from the enemy, even Ying Zhu's eyes, which were standing by the side, were filled with curiosity.

When Ying Ji heard this, he felt happy and said quickly: "Since we have a strategy to retreat from the enemy, Prime Minister Fan can come and tell us."

At this time, Fan Sui undoubtedly became the focus of the entire hall, and everyone's eyes fell on him.

Fan Sui nodded slightly and bowed: "Your Majesty, Qi and Chu have not joined the Four Kingdoms Alliance this time. This is the best situation for the Qin State. The Chu State and our Qin State have deep hatred, and it is impossible to help me. Qin State can ask Qi State to send troops to assist!

The State of Qi and our State of Qin have always had trade relations. If the King of Qi can be persuaded to send troops, the crisis of the State of Qin can be solved! "

"Ask for help?"

Ying Zhu snorted coldly, with a flash of anger in his eyes, and turned his head to look at Fan Sui dissatisfied: "Prime Minister Fan, please forgive me for not agreeing with this method! Although our Daqin is currently in a food crisis, it is only a temporary predicament!"

"The high-yielding crops that Wang Zijun brought out earlier have been planted. In less than a year, they will be able to produce millions of stones of grain. With these millions of grains, our food problem in Daqin will naturally be solved!"

"The reason why the four countries allied to attack the Great Qin border is because they are afraid of the strength of the Great Qin. Just imagine, if Wang Zijun had not gone to the grassland, would these four countries have invaded our Great Qin border? None of them were huddled in the country and shivering. ?Afraid that my Great Qin sword will point directly at me!"

"There is no one in my country who is afraid of death, and there is no one in Old Qin who is afraid of death!"

quiet!
Deathly silence!

After the words fell, everyone looked at Ying Zhu in shock, their faces full of shock, and everyone felt ashamed in their hearts.

If Wang Zijun had not gone to the grassland, these four countries might not have even thought about uniting, let alone dare to unite to invade Qin's border!

And it was precisely in order to solve the food crisis of Qin that Wang Zijun had no choice but to go to the grassland to seize materials and war horses for Qin...

Just now, they actually had the thought of killing the war horse!

These war horses were not only bought with the blood of the soldiers, but they could also make Great Qin stronger.

Not only the ministers in the court, but also Fan Sui also stared at Ying Zhu with eyes wide open, with disbelief on his face.

Unexpectedly, Ying Zhu, who has always been weak, could say such impassioned and inspiring words.

We haven’t seen each other for a month, and yet there has been such a change. He is completely different from the previous Ying Zhu!
Could this be due to Wang Zijun's influence?
Ying Ji was also shocked by Ying Zhu's words just now, and there was a glimmer of light in his eyes. He stared closely at Ying Zhu who was standing under His Highness. He even saw a familiar figure on Ying Zhu's body just now.

Wang Zijun!
Ying Zhu looked at the surprised eyes of everyone, raised a slight confident smile at the corner of his mouth, bowed to Ying Ji who was sitting on the throne and said: "Your Majesty, Wang Zijun is not missing, but is already on his way with his troops. On the way to Hangu Pass."

boom!
Everyone in the entire court was stunned in place as if they had been struck by a bolt from the blue.

Not only the ministers, but also the Prime Minister Fan Sui and Ying Ji looked at Ying Zhu in disbelief.

"what?"

Ying Ji stood up from the throne with excitement. He looked at Ying Zhu with astonishment on his face and confirmed again: "Ying Jun has really gone to Hangu Pass?"
