Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 310 Chu Army Enters the Pass (12)

"A certain person will express his gratitude when meeting with General Lei Shu, but my Taibai soldiers and civilians were all rescued by the general. I deserve my thanks, and please don't refuse the general!" Holding A Xiao's hand, bowed and said.

The Qiang generals behind Ma Xiu also bowed their hands again to express their gratitude to their benefactor.

Seeing this, A Xiao had no choice but to accept the thanks of the Qiang generals.

"The general should tidy up quickly, and lead the troops under his command to join the last general and the rear general!" A Xiao said when he saw that almost all the soldiers of the Qiang nationality were wounded.

"Of course!" Matthew nodded, and then gave an order to the general behind him.

With [-] people in Taibai City engulfed, Ma Xiu and A Xiao led more than [-] people towards the north entrance of the ramp.

At this time, a camp had already been built at the north entrance of the inclined road, and under Lei Shu's arrangement, the walls of the camp extended to both sides, as if a pass was to be built here.

"Rear General! General A Xiao and General Ma Xiu's troops are already less than twenty miles away from the camp!" Lei Shu was looking at the surrounding topographical map when he heard the sentinel's reply and raised his head.

"Notify Zhao Li and the captains and lieutenants who are available in the army to meet General Ma Xiu with a certain person!" Lei Shu didn't dare to show off in front of a veteran like Ma Xiu, so he immediately ordered to the messenger at the side road.

The generals in the army who received Lei Shu's order rushed to the gate of the camp one after another. Everyone knew that their king still had a right general who hadn't been rewarded yet.And this Ma Xiu was a veteran of the Qin Army Hu Qiying, and he was the only general under Zhao Gao who knew how to ride and fight. After arriving in Nanzheng, he would definitely be named the right general.

When everyone arrived at the gate of the camp, Lei Shu had already arrived.

After Zhao Li and other generals saluted Lei Shu, they heard Lei Shu say: "Since they are all here, let me go five miles away with this general to meet General Ma Xiu's troops!"

When everyone heard Lei Shu's words, they were a little surprised in their hearts.

Lei Shu knew in his heart that if Ma Xiu reached Nanzheng, he would be a right general in the same rank as him, and he would definitely command most of the cavalry in Hanzhong and even the entire Shu Kingdom.In order for the cavalry under his command to be able to contribute to the battle in the future, Lei Shu decided to make friends with Ma Xiu.

On the other hand, Zhao Sulfur was secretly refreshed, as early as when he came from Xianyang, he had been in close contact with Ma Xiu, Yang Qiu and others.Seeing that Lei Shu respected Ma Xiu and took the initiative to leave the camp for five miles to meet him, Zhao Li felt that his previous decision to befriend Ma Xiu and Yang Qiu was correct.

Lei Shu and Zhao Li were in front, followed by more than ten generals and [-] elite soldiers. The group waited for Ma Xiu and A Xiao's troops five miles away.

Five miles away, Matthew and A Xiao's troops were very surprised to see Lei Shu.

Amid the sound of Ma Xiu's thanks, the [-] Qiang cavalry under Ma Xiu's command joined the large troops of the Shu army.

After Yan Le fled to the north of Xieshui, he began to gather his men and horses, leaving less than 4 horses in the 2 army.Except for Duwei Yang Jie's department, which is still relatively complete, the other departments are completely destroyed.Yan Le was furious, and demoted all the captains except Yang Jie and Yan Jiu.He was also promoted to his own soldier Xiaowei Yan Xi and Xu Shun's younger brother Xiaowei Xu Xiao to take over and reorganize a complete [-] horses for the captain.

Afterwards, Yan Le sent countless scouts to investigate the intelligence of Hanzhong, Ba, and Shu.He also personally wrote a letter, saying that Hanzhong sent [-] troops to the north to defeat him, and asked the emperor Ziying to send reinforcements.

Xianyang, the imperial palace.

After Ziying received the report from the Tongguan guard, the ink brush in his hand slipped unconsciously.

Forced to calm down, Ziying said urgently to the servant An Yong who was standing beside him: "Quickly invite the two Prime Ministers, Wei Wei Hanyu, Yushi Doctor Qin Ling, Lieutenant He Lianhe, Imperial Supervisor Zheng Han Yu, Habayashi Zhonglang General Qing Congratulations, General Wu Hua of the Forbidden Army enters the palace!"

"Here!" An Yong knew that the life and death of Guochao was at stake, so he immediately bowed his hands and walked out of the palace gate very anxiously.

Soon, all the important ministers of the Qin Dynasty arrived at the Taiji Hall.

After everyone saluted, Feng Jie, Prime Minister of the Right, asked Wei Wei in Korean: "Han Weiwei, do you know why Your Majesty hastily called us into the palace?"

Han Yu shook his head when he heard the words. Although he started to clean up the Black Ice Terrace after serving as a Weiwei, which reduced the ability of the Black Ice Terrace to obtain information, he didn't know why Ziying called important ministers into the palace in a hurry.

"Perhaps Taiwei Yan won a big victory. Your Majesty asked me to enter the palace to discuss whether to make Taiwei Yan a lieutenant!" At this time, Han Yu, the supervisor of the Imperial Academy, made a guess.

Everyone nodded when they heard the words, and they all felt that Han Yu's words were reasonable.However, both Han Yu and Qin Ling felt that things were a bit difficult!
"Your Majesty is here!" When everyone felt that Han Yuzhi's words were reasonable, the voice of the servant An Yong suddenly came from the back hall.

Ziying also appeared in the Taiji Hall at the right time. After Ziying sat down, Feng Jie, Sima Cong and other important civil and military officials all cupped their hands and said, "I have seen Your Majesty! May Your Majesty be blessed and safe!"

"Everyone who loves you is free from courtesy!" Ziying raised his hand to help.

All the ministers returned the salute immediately: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After Feng Jie and others sat down, Ziying said why he hurriedly summoned important civil and military officials to come here.

"Yinglin, the guard of Tongguan, came to report that Qin Xiong, Su Jiao, and Yao Ang, the guards of Yanhangu Pass, surrendered to Chu! The Chu army has already entered Guanzhong, and Tao She, the guard of Wuguan, may also surrender to Chu!" Ziying said. Two sentences, each of which made Dian Zhongwu terrified.

"It is a serious crime for my younger brother to vote for Chu! I am ashamed of the previous kings of the Great Qin Dynasty! I am ashamed of the training of the first emperor!! I ask your majesty to cut off my position as a minister and put him in the sky prison to redeem my younger brother's crime!" Qin Ling said Before Ziying finished speaking, he immediately stood up and prostrated himself on the ground.

Ziying had no intention of blaming Tan Ling in the first place. He didn't expect that Tan Ling would come out to plead guilty, and he lost his position for a while.

Fortunately, Hanyu glanced up, and Dang even came out and said: "Your Majesty! Although the younger brother of the Yushi doctor voted for Chu, he has made great contributions to the Great Qin! In addition, the Yushi doctor did not show any signs of voting for Chu, so he rashly took him into custody for fear." Let the government and the public discuss! I beg Your Majesty, don't allow it!"

"Yes! What Wei Wei said is correct!" Ziying immediately responded and said. "Don't worry, Doctor Yushi. Although your brother voted for Chu, each person has his own ambition. It has nothing to do with you, Doctor Yushi. I will not blame you for your brother's vote for Chu!"

"Sir! Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust!" After speaking, Tan Ling got up and bowed down again.

Later, with the support of Hanyu, he returned to the court class together with him.

Seeing Tan Ling and Han Yu sitting down, Ziying said again, "I hurried to find all my lovers here to discuss whether to fight with Chu State or to make peace?" The words revealed the intention of negotiation, This made both Feng Jie and Sima Cong somewhat displeased.

As soon as Ziying finished speaking, Sima Cong cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty! The enmity between Qin and Chu has been deep for generations, and it reached its peak after the First Emperor destroyed Chu. Qin and Chu are already at odds, why does Your Majesty have the intention to seek peace with Chu?"
