The Summoning World of the Great Qin Empire

Chapter 604
Liu Bang's meaning is very clear. Bai Qi is the key to the victory of the 30 army. If Bai Qi's side is exposed, there will be a bloody battle outside the city of Chinese medicine.

Liu Bang has already learned how powerful the Qin army is.

"My minister complies with the order!" Zhang Liang cupped his hands and retreated.

When Zhang Liang came to the edge of the river, Guan Ying was riding a horse and had just returned from a patrol.

"Guanying!" Zhang Liang shouted loudly!
Guan Ying threw the reins in his hand to the soldiers behind him and walked over.

"What's the matter, Mr. Zhang?"

Guan Ying said with a smile.

"You are really polite!" Zhang Liang laughed, and then glanced at the soldiers behind Guan Ying, still feeling a little bit unbearable.

Seeing Zhang Liang's troubled look, Guan Ying dragged Zhang Liang to the edge of the water and lowered his voice, "Did the king have any orders?"

"Exactly." Zhang Liang also said in a low voice: "Let me ask you, when you picked up an arrow this morning, did anyone around you see it?"

"Yes, there are about a dozen of them, all of whom are good soldiers in the army, and they have always followed me."

Guan Ying said quickly.

"Your Majesty has an oral order. This matter must not be leaked out. Take a chance and tell a dozen or so people to shut up, and none of them can be kept!" Zhang Liang said.

Guan Ying immediately quit: "What are you doing? We haven't fought yet, so we're going to kill our own people? I'm going to find the king!"

Zhang Liang grabbed Guan Ying's sleeve: "Don't talk nonsense, let me ask you, do you think it's better to win with tens of thousands of casualties on our side, or win the victory with the death of more than ten people?"

"This..." Guan Ying didn't even think about it: "Of course, if more than a dozen people are killed or injured, we can win the victory, but is this possible?"

"How is it impossible?" Zhang Liang said with certainty: "Anyway, you remember, what you did was right. The king has already issued a death order. If you go to the king in person now, you will definitely be scolded. Then Let's kill more than a dozen people, so that they can settle down with their families!"

"Okay, I believe what you said." Guan Ying nodded, although he was reluctant, but now is not the time for love between children, kindness does not control soldiers, righteousness does not control wealth!
In the career of a general, he has already put his own life and death aside. As for the life and death of others, in his own eyes, sometimes it is even more worthless.

"Remember, don't kill all these people in one go. You can move slowly, but you must be quick and neat! Let me remind you, stay away from Sun Wu during this time, don't ask anything else, Don't say anything." Zhang Liang said in a low voice, "Of course, don't act too far away in front of Sun Wu, how you treated him before, how you treat him now."

Guan Ying is not stupid, Zhang Liang has already talked about this, so he naturally knows what to do.

"Don't worry, every day when soldiers are patrolling, they will disappear on the surface of the foggy river, and they will disappear like this..."

...in the city of Zhongyi on the north bank.

Hou Yi stood in front of Bai Qi confidently: "Don't worry, the general. The general's eyes are different from ordinary people. When he saw Guan Ying walking by the river from a distance, he shot the arrow."

"Well." Bai Qi nodded slightly: "This matter has been done very well. We are still standing still, and we must conduct appropriate training every day to ensure that the soldiers' physical fitness does not decline. You will be allowed to select five thousand in the army who are good at archery. The best archers, form a sharp knife, when the time comes, you will have to make meritorious service!"

Hou Yi hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "The last general will definitely live up to the general's high expectations!"

It wasn't until Houyi left the room that Bai Qi said with a smile: "Things are getting more and more interesting, Liu Bang, Liu Bang, you are so clever that you were misunderstood by your cleverness. I would have liked to see you suffocate to the point of being depressed." Death, Sun Wu, if you can't even pass this level, then you are not qualified to meet this general on the battlefield, the military family, after all, my Bai family is better! Haha..."

……

In Han City, Du Shenyan and Chen Ziang walked all the way, and they could clearly feel the gloomy atmosphere here.

On the official road, thousands of soldiers can be seen marching at any time, and the maximum can reach tens of thousands.

It was General Left Sima Yi who received the two of them.

"I've seen General Zuo!"

The two bowed their hands slightly to salute.

Sima Yi also simply asked, "What do you think, Your Majesty, about the opinions of me and Lord Zhuge, Shangshu of the Ministry of War?"

Chen Zi'ang said: "I'm here, I've already arrived here as the official letter of my dynasty, I'm going to Dantu Shuicheng to meet Wang Meng and Long Qie, and express my dynasty's willingness to make a truce with Chu."

"This is a major event, don't be careless." Sima Yi pondered for a moment, and said: "I will send soldiers now to contact Chu State, and the two envoys will rest in the city lord's mansion for the time being. Let me know what to do next?"

The two slightly cupped their hands: "Everything depends on the general."

Let’s say that Sima Yi’s general ordered him to the north shore military camp (the military camp built in opposition to Dantu Water City), Li Shunchen did not dare to be careless, and immediately picked out a general, flew a white flag, rowed a small boat, and headed for Dantu and go.

The guards on the Dantu city wall saw it, and immediately removed people to report to Wang Meng.

When Wang Meng heard the report, he and Xiang Zhuang immediately came to the city wall.

"When that person gets closer, he's shouting!" Wang Meng said.

"Here!" said the general, clasping his hands.

The general of the Qin army calculated that he was almost out of the range of the arrow, so he told the soldiers to stop, and before the general of the Chu army could speak, he shouted loudly:
"I sent envoys to His Majesty the Emperor. I want to meet with the King of Chu to discuss important matters. I also ask the general on the tower to make an announcement on his behalf!"

When Wang Meng heard this, he pushed away the generals beside him, and shouted in a deep voice: "You used this method to alienate General Yu Ziqi back then. I, Wang Meng, claim to be a resourceful man. How could I be fooled by you? You should hurry up." Go back, don't make a fool of yourself here!"

Upon hearing this, the military general of Qin State gritted his teeth and continued to shout: "I have told you, the general, that our envoys will go to Dantu City of your country to discuss state affairs with Lord Wang Meng. , don't talk too much, hurry up and tell Mr. Wang!"

Hearing this, Wang Meng immediately became cheerful, looked around and smiled and said, "This general of the Qin army is really a man with no eyesight, so he doesn't know that the Wang Meng he asked to see is right in front of him!"

"My official is Wang Meng. Please tell me, who is the person who came to our court?"

The general heard this: "This is not something that the villain can know. My general is still waiting for the villain to reply, and I also ask Mr. Wang to give a letter of approval, so that the villain can also complete his mission."

Wang Meng thought about it for a moment, and he didn't know what kind of action Qin State was going to take. After all, it would be better to see him first, so he responded: "Okay! At this time tomorrow, I will be here waiting for your envoy from Qin State to arrive. waiting!"

"The villain understands!" The military general of Qin State stood on the boat and cupped his hands, and ordered the people around him to row back quickly.

Li Shunchen got the exact report, so he sent someone to report it to Sima Yi.

Sima Yi put down his military affairs, sent someone north to inform Zhuge Liang, and went to find Du Shenyan and Chen Ziang himself.

Just now when they arrived outside the residence of the two, they heard the sound of snoring coming from the room.

Sima Yi smiled and said: "This is a busy boat, but state affairs are important, you go in and wake up the two envoys."

The guard nodded, pushed open the door, and walked in.

After a while, the sleepy Du Shenyan and Chen Ziang came out of the house.

Du Shenyan cupped his hands slightly and said: "It really made the general laugh. I waited for them and the two of them are not used to sitting on a big boat, so they vomited so many times when they came down."

"Ashamed!" Chen Ziang also cupped his hands on the side.

"Haha..." Sima Yi laughed and said, "It's okay, just come a few more times and you'll get used to it."

"The general has a lot of opportunities every day, so he came to see me now, but there is news from Chu State?" Du Shenyan asked hastily.

"That's right!" Sima Yi said: "King Meng of Chu has agreed to meet with the two envoys. He will set off for the North Shore military camp early tomorrow morning. I will go with the two generals."

"Thank you, General!" Du Shenyan hurriedly cupped his hands.

Sima Yi glanced at Chen Ziang, who was yawning, and said with a smile: "The two envoys are tired, so they won't hold a banquet for the two envoys. You two can rest well tonight. If you are hungry, tell your servants, I will take care of you." In the General’s Mansion in Hancheng, Wu Dalang’s cooking cakes are comparable to the meals of His Majesty the Emperor in the imperial palace in the capital!”

"I've heard about it a long time ago, but let's talk about it after getting enough sleep." Chen Ziang said with a wry smile.

Sima Yi cupped his hands and said, "Farewell!"

Chen Ziang and Du Shenyan quickly bowed and said, "General, go slowly!"

……

"belch--"

On the battle horse, Chen Ziang burped for a long time, which made his throat itch.

"Wu Dalang's cooking cakes are truly worthy of the name!" Chen Ziang patted his stomach in satisfaction.
Du Shenyan also had a satisfied face. Food is always welcome.

The army camp on the north bank was not far away, and Li Shunchen led a group of generals in the army to meet him.

After entering the military tent, the sun has risen high.

"This time I went to the Chu army tent, the lives of the two envoys are in danger, please accept my bow!" Sima Yi bowed as he spoke!
Chen Zi'ang and Du Shenyan did not dodge either, with smiles on their faces: "Don't worry, general, if we succeed, Duke Du and I will be famous all over the world. If we fail, we will only be in this river." It’s just an extra life.”

"Haha, that's exactly it!" Du Shenyan also said with a bold smile.

Sima Yi looked at the wall of the Dantu Water Village, there were a lot of people, and it was almost time.

A warrior led a dozen soldiers and rowed a wooden boat used by fishermen to carry Du Shenyan and Chen Ziang across the river.

The battleship is too big, if the Chu army sees the Qin army paddling the battleship, they will definitely go to war without any explanation.

But seeing such a fishing boat, there will be no hostility.

"Hey, here we come!" On the Dantu city wall, Wang Meng had good eyesight and had already seen the people on the other side. He muttered, "It's not Zhuge Liang who came here. It would be interesting if there were two useless people..."
