Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 316 Entering Xianyang (6)

Liang Xu and Lu Ru were overjoyed, they immediately stood up and cupped their hands to Feng Jie, "Thank you, Xiangguo!"

The next day, Feng Jie, Sima Cong and others led all the courtiers to write a letter requesting Ziying to issue an edict to fight the Chu people.

Almost all Qin officials in Xianyang signed their names, which shocked Ziying who had originally intended to surrender.Under the persuasion of He Lianhe and Han Yu, Ziying reluctantly agreed to recruit strong men to fight Xiang Yu again.

Then, according to the arrangement of Feng Jie and others, Ziying issued an edict of guilt, and in the edict criticized the tyranny of the second emperor Ying Huhai and promised to reform the current Qin law.

Xianyang's imperial edict was soon issued to all parts of Guanzhong, and Yan Le returned to Xianyang with the army in due course.

Countless Guanzhong children went to various counties and towns to join the army under the persuasion of their families, and tens of thousands of strong men rushed to Xianyang to protect the land where their families had lived for generations.

Soon, nearly 21 people gathered in the camp outside Xianyang City.

The descendants of the old Qin Xun clan also donated money and food generously.For a time, the warehouses in the entire city of Xianyang were filled with food, money, weapons, and armor.

In the camp outside the city, most of the veterans who had battle experience were promoted.Start training with the recruits under your command, and teach them combat skills to cope with the cruel war that follows.

After Yan Le also received Ziying's edict, he led thousands of cavalry alone and returned to Xianyang, leaving behind a large army and starry night.

Getting closer and closer to Xianyang, Yan Le and the thousands of cavalry who fought back felt an aura that was not there before.

On the road, there were constant children of old Qin from other places going to Xianyang to join the army. Everyone carried an indomitable momentum, and they were not afraid that what they were about to face was the Chu people who had defeated hundreds of thousands of elite Qin troops.

"Yan Xi, you take the cavalry to the camp! Yan Yi takes a hundred cavalry and follows the captain into Xianyang!" Yan Le looked at Xianyang City not far away, and ordered Yan Xi and Yan Yi behind him.

"Here!" Yan Xi and Yan Yi bowed their hands and accepted the order.

Yan Le brought Yan Yi and Baiqi into Xianyang. The moment Yan Le entered Xianyang, Feng Jie and Sima Cong, who were discussing affairs in Zuo Xiangguo's mansion, both received the news of Yan Le's return.

"Yan Le is back!" Feng Jie looked at Sima Cong and said worriedly.

"So what if you come back? Does he have the strength to command 10 troops outside the city to fight against the Chu people?" Sima Cong didn't care, but instead asked Feng Jie.

"But Yan Le has [-] battle-hardened soldiers in his hands. This is what we need most right now!" Seeing that Sima Cong didn't care, Feng Jiedang immediately reminded him.

"If Yan Le dares not to hand over his military power, someone will personally lead the army to seize his military power!" Sima Cong replied stiffly after hearing Feng Jie's words.

Feng Jie shook his head when he heard the words, and then brought the topic to how to rely on Tongguan to stop the Chu army.

At this time, after Yan Le brought Baiqi into the city, Qingxi sent someone to announce that Feng Jie and Sima Cong were both in Zuoxiangguo's mansion.

After that, Yan Le went straight to Zuo Xiangguo's mansion.

Just when Feng Jie and Sima Cong were arguing about whether to relocate all the people near Tongguan, a small school came to report.

"I report to the two Prime Ministers, Taiwei Yan outside the residence, please see me!"

Feng Jie and Sima Cong were puzzled by the small school's report, but Sima Cong waved his hand and said, "Taiwei Yan, please come here!"

"Here!" Xiaoxiao bowed his hands and left.

lean less.

"Le, I've met the two Prime Ministers!" Yan Le bowed to each other after entering the main hall.

"Taiwei Yan, you don't have to be polite!" Feng Jie and Sima Cong nodded, and then ordered someone to serve tea.

The three of them picked up their teacups and took a sip.

As soon as Yan Le put the teacup on the table, he heard Feng Jie ask, "Taiwei Yan led the army back to Xianyang, why did you come here if you didn't go to see His Majesty first?"

"I garrisoned troops in the northeast of Xieshui to guard against Hanzhong's rebellion. When I heard that the Chu thieves had entered the pass, I led my army back to Xianyang. Before entering Xianyang, I had to scout horses to report that the Chu people were approaching Tongguan. I also got an edict issued by Your Majesty, so I led my cavalry lightly. Let’s go back to Xianyang first, and come to find the two Prime Ministers to discuss how to resist the enemy!" Yan Le looked at Feng Jie, and slowly explained his purpose of coming.

Then, he asked again: "Before I entered Xianyang, when I passed the military camp outside the city, I saw that there seemed to be a lot more banners in the camp. I don't know why?"

"Your Majesty's edict re-engaged the hearts of the people in Guanzhong. When the people in Guanzhong learned that the Chu people had entered the pass, they came to Xianyang to join the army. In addition, all the ministers, nobles, and nobles in Xianyang City donated money and materials to donate people. Now they are in the camp outside the city. There are more than 21 soldiers and horses. They are under the control of the truth, and the guard Sima Ying, Habayashi Nakaro General Qingxi, Captain Feng Xin, Qin Xi, and Jia Yuan are five people to assist in training!" Sima Cong heard the words and immediately spoke out In reply, these soldiers and horses in the words are already in his pocket.

As soon as Yan Le heard it, he knew that he could no longer interfere with the troops outside the city. Ge Yin assisted Sima Cong in training and controlling the five soldiers outside the city. Sima Ying was Sima Cong's nephew, needless to say, and Feng Xin was Feng Jie's grandnephew. Qin Xi is a member of the royal family and has an inseparable relationship with Han Yu and Qin Ling, while Jia Yuan is the uncle of the empress Jia's family.With these five people present, Yan Le would no longer be able to intervene in the affairs of the camp outside the city.

"With Sima Xiangguo in charge of the army, I think Daqin will be able to overcome this difficulty!" Yan Le couldn't say anything, so he could only flatter him.

Sima Cong laughed loudly when he heard the words, while Feng Jie at the side frowned slightly.

Just when Sima Cong was about to ask Yan Le for soldiers, Feng Jie took the lead and said, "Yan Taiwei has just returned to Xianyang and hasn't seen His Majesty yet, so we should go to see His Majesty before coming to Xiangguo Mansion to discuss how to retreat from the enemy!"

"Prime Minister Feng's words are right! Then the officer will leave first!" Yan Le stood up and cupped his hands immediately after hearing the words.

Seeing Yan Le walking away, Sima Cong complained to Feng Jie and said, "My Lord Feng, why do you want to prevent the truth from taking Yan Le's military power under such an opportunity? Don't you know that you missed this opportunity, next time Is it even more difficult to confiscate Yan Le's military power?"

"Lord Sima! The purpose of Yan Le's coming here today is for the military power. If you ask him to return the military power in his hands, I'm afraid you will never be able to see those tens of thousands of elites again!" Feng Jie shook his head and began to explain. "Besides, at this time of peril, do you, Sima Cong, want to destabilize the court? These tens of thousands of horses are Yan Le's last reliance. If they are taken away rashly, they may lead the Hanzhong rebels to attack. Guanzhong! At that time, I, Daqin, will not only have to face the nearly one million Guandong soldiers and horses, but also deal with the enemy in Hanzhong to the south, where in Guanzhong will I have enough soldiers and horses to defend against the enemy on both sides?"

"It's that XX is too impatient! Thanks to Brother Feng for reminding me, otherwise XX will become the sinner of Great Qin through the ages! Please accept XX's worship!" Sima Cong bowed to thank Feng Jie.
