Daqin: Prince Peerless, guarding Hangu for ten years!

Chapter 289 Is this good news?

Qin State, Xianyang!
In the grand and solemn palace hall, hundreds of civil and military officials from the Qin State stood.

King Qin Zhaoxiang Yingji's temples were gray and his eyes were in a trance. From the slightly black eye sockets, it was easy to see that he had not rested much in the past few days.

At this moment, a court meeting is being held in the hall.

A minister stood under the main hall and was reporting something, but the leader, King Qin Zhaoxiang Ying Ji, didn't seem to listen. Judging from his frown, he was worried about other things.

The ministers standing below naturally noticed this scene, and all of them turned their eyes. As ministers with high positions in the court and already grown up, how could they not guess what the king was thinking!
Under the main hall, Prime Minister Fan Sui, who was standing at the front on the right, saw Ying Ji's expression and glanced at the minister standing in the middle who was reporting daily matters.

When the minister saw Fan Sui's gesture, he immediately retreated from the center of the hall into the group.

"Your Majesty!"

Fan Sui walked out from the crowd and said respectfully to Ying Ji who was sitting on the throne.

Hearing the shouts below, Ying Ji came back to his senses, looked at Fan Sui standing under the main hall and said with slight surprise: "Oh? Prime Minister Fan, Hu Qing has finished reporting so quickly?"

When Ying Ji asked, Fan Sui quickly saluted and said, "Your Majesty, I see that your Majesty is in a trance and thoughtful. Is your Majesty worried about the war on the front line?"

Ying Ji heard Fan Sui's words and sighed softly: "What Prime Minister Fan said is true. As the king of a country, now both Hangu Pass and Nanyang County in the Qin State are facing invasion by foreign enemies, and Wang Jian and Meng Ao The two of them have been to Hangu Pass and Nanyang County for more than a few days, and I wonder how the war is going now?"

Not long ago, the scene that Ying Ji least wanted to see happened. The Chu State sent 50 troops to attack Nanyang County.

Although Meng Ao had already been deployed to Nanyang County to guard against the Chu army, most of Qin's troops were placed at Hangu Pass, leaving only Meng Ao's 20 troops.

But Nanyang County is not like Hangu Pass, which is located in a dangerous place and is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The vast expanse outside Nanyang County is vast and the terrain is empty. Because of this, the city walls of Nanyang County are slightly higher than those of other enemies.

Even so, how could Qin's 20-strong army hold on when faced with twice the strength of Chu?
Fan Sui frowned slightly, and then said comfortingly to Ying Ji: "Your Majesty, don't worry, there is General Wang Jian at Hangu Pass, and General Meng Ao is guarding Nanyang County. They are all veteran generals of our Great Qin with rich experience. He and I I will lead my troops to guard the pass, and I believe it won’t take long to repel the invading enemy!”

Ying Ji took a deep breath, and the worry in his eyes did not diminish at all. He looked at Fan Sui who was standing under the palace and sighed: "I naturally believe in the two generals Wang Jian and Meng Ao, but they are just in front of me." The grain and grass equipment that he brought with him during the trip could not last very long, and the grain and grass that Wang Zijun took from the grassland was already on the way."

"But Xianyang is far away from the two places. It will take several days to reach it completely. Now the Chu State dares to attack Nanyang County. How can this not worry me?"

As he spoke, Ying Ji gradually became excited, his eyes filled with thick anger, and he clenched his fists tightly.

In normal times, even if all the countries came together to attack Qin, he would not be worried at all.

But now, Qin State is under attack on both sides, and food and grass are in short supply.

If this continues, the morale of the soldiers will be greatly reduced and the military morale will be low!
Not only the King of Qin, but also the ministers standing under His Highness, felt silent for a moment after hearing these words. The Qin State was now as if it had transformed from a young man to an old man, with a powerless mind.

The Chu State was able to send 50 troops this time, which was destined to completely capture the Qin State.

Now the only one who can solve this situation is Hangu Pass. Only Wang Jian can repel the armies of the four countries as quickly as possible and lead troops to Nanyang County in order to repel Chu's 50 army.

Although Zhao State is the leader of this alliance to launch an alliance with other countries, Zhao State's strength is now far less than before, but it still cannot be underestimated. If the tactics are not commanded properly, the Qin army may still suffer heavy losses.

A general standing on the far left came out of the crowd, bowed and expressed comfort to Ying Ji:

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Now our Qin army is stronger than Zhao. We have General Wang Jian as our commander. General Wang Jian has experienced hundreds of battles and is resourceful. In addition, with Wang Zijun coming to help, a million-strong army from the Four Kingdoms will try to invade." Our country, Qin, is nothing more than a fool’s dream!”

"Your Majesty, just wait for the good news from Wang Zijun and General Wang Jian!"

When Ying Ji heard this, he nodded slightly, then smiled at Ying Xi and Prime Minister Fan Sui who were lifting him up with one hand:
"Captain Yingsi, what Prime Minister Fan said is reasonable. It seems that I am too worried!"

After speaking, he then looked at a minister below.

"Hu Shang, where did you report just now? I was a little distracted and didn't listen. Please step forward and report it again!"

Upon hearing this, guest Qing Hu Shang immediately walked out of the crowd, raised the bamboo slip in his hand and was about to speak.

at this time!

A rapid and loud voice sounded!

"Report!" Listening to the urgent report coming from outside the hall, the ministers and Ying Ji sitting in the hall opened their eyes wide and looked at a soldier who was running quickly outside the hall.

This is?

Soon, King Qin and the ministers realized that this was a war report!
I just don’t know which side’s battle report is coming, is it good news or something else?

The scout quickly ran in from outside the hall, half-knelt down under the hall panting, raised the bamboo slips in his hands, and said hurriedly to King Qin:
"Meet your Majesty, report on the battle on the front line!"

When Ying Ji heard the battle report from the front line, his eyes were full of excitement. He stood up from the throne and quickly waved to the waiter beside him:

"Quick, get it delivered quickly!"

Just now he was worried about the war situation on the front line, but he didn't expect that the battle report would come now. This order filled his heart with anticipation and excitement.

The ministers standing in front of His Highness were all excited and looking forward to hearing the battle report coming from the front line. They all looked at the bamboo slips in the hands of the scout, wondering what the battle situation was like at the front.

The waiter standing next to Ying Ji immediately walked quickly from the palace to the scout, took the bamboo slip from his hand, and then stepped forward to hand it to Ying Ji again.

Looking at the unknown battle report in his hand, Ying Ji couldn't wait to unfold it and looked at the report written above.

Countless ministers stared at King Qin eagerly.

When King Qin looked at the report, his eyes suddenly opened wide, and his face showed great joy. In an instant, countless ministers were relieved.

Judging from King Qin's expression, this is obviously good news!
Everyone's hearts were suddenly filled with joy. Whether it was Hangu Pass or Nanyang County, for the current Great Qin, no matter which party solved the crisis, it was a good thing!
However, soon, everyone discovered that something was wrong.

Under the gaze of everyone, King Qin's original expression of great joy suddenly widened his eyes, as if in disbelief, and his eyes were staring closely at the bamboo slips in his hands.

It seems like something incredible is written on this bamboo slip!
This?
Let King Qin come here?

The ministers felt confused.

What happened?

Isn't this urgent news good news?

Could it be that the front line was defeated?

Otherwise, why would the king look like this?

Even Ying Xi and Fan Sui, who were under the Highness, looked confused and their eyes were full of surprise.

After serving as officials for many years, they have never seen the King like this!

It shouldn’t be!Regardless of the army command experience of General Wang Jian or General Meng Ao, even if they cannot defeat the enemy, they cannot defeat them in just a few days!

Just when everyone is confused!

Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter from above the hall.

"Hahaha……"

"Color, color!!!"

Ying Ji suddenly had a smile on his face and shouted repeatedly: "God bless me, Da Qin!"

"Reward! I will definitely reward you heavily!"

King Qin's voice revealed excitement and excitement.

The ministers standing below were even more confused. They looked in disbelief just now, why did they suddenly change?

Seeing Ying Ji's appearance, Fan Sui looked at Ying Ji with a smile on his face and asked respectfully: "Your Majesty, is this good news?"
