Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 323 Entering Xianyang (13)

"Fight for Great Qin! Fight! Fight! Fight!!!" The captains and school captains around Sima Cong also followed Feng Xin and pulled out their waist sabers, shouting loudly.

"Fight! Fight! Fight!!!" Under the leadership of the captains and school lieutenants, all the [-] cavalry raised their weapons and responded loudly.

Sima Cong saw that the sergeant was no longer as lifeless as before, and then he had a lot of vigor and courage, so he knew that the [-] cavalry were worthy of use.Overjoyed, Sima Cong put his saber back into the scabbard, got on his horse, picked up the halberd handed over by his own soldiers, pointed in the direction of Tongguan, and said, "I will rush to Tongguan, and drive all the traitors from the Guandong out of Guanzhong! Go! "

As he spoke, Sima Cong drove his horse and galloped east again.

"Here!" A group of captains and school captains who followed Sima Cong on the horse also handed over their horses one after another, and then followed Sima Cong and galloped towards Tongguan.

The morale of the [-] cavalry was greatly shaken, and under the leadership of Sima Cong, they were as fast as the wind.

Along the way, all veteran soldiers of the Qin army who had seen this soldier and horse thought that this soldier and horse was the soldier and horse that he followed in battle in the past.But seeing that he was getting old, he knew that this was not the vigorous, brave and fearless Qin Jun of the past.

But tears were left in the eyes of those veterans of the Qin Army, because some of the successors of the Qin Army will reproduce the glory of the Qin Army in the past.

Tongguan.

All the coalition forces passed through Tongguan, and the entire Tongguan was taken over by the Chu army just like Hangu Pass.

After taking Tongguan, Xiang Yu ordered Li You to lead the army to chase the deserters in Tongguan and ordered him to capture Ningqin and Pingshu, which are closest to Tongguan.

In the government office of Tongguan, Xiang Yu invited Tian Heng and Linghu Qiu to a banquet, accompanied by Zhang Liang, Fan Zeng, Zhang Han, Long Qi, Ying Bu, Li Qi and others.

"We were able to win Tongguan this time, thanks to the timely assistance of the two generals. Otherwise, relying on the army of Pu Wu and Zhongli Mei, the fortified city of Tongguan would never be able to take down! Only those who are spared from casualties Soldiers of the Chu Army, toast to the two generals! Please!" Xiang Yu held up the wine bottle and said sincerely to Tian Heng and Linghu Chou who were sitting on the right.

Seeing this, Tian Heng and Linghu Qiu also raised the wine bottle and the wine in the bottle.

"A certain family is ashamed. Everything they do is arranged by the general. They really can't be treated so favorably by the general!" Linghu Qiu said to Xiang Yu very modestly after putting down the wine bottle.

"General Linghu, don't be humble! If it weren't for you and General Tian, ​​I'm afraid we won't be able to win Tongguan, which has blocked our coalition forces for a long time! Soldiers of the Gu and Chu Army will remember the achievements of the two generals. Empress Qin, I will definitely report the merits of the two generals to the king!" Xiang Yu waved his hand to signal Linghu Qiu and Tian Heng not to be humble, and then praised them and promised.

Tian Heng was very disdainful of Linghu Qiu's modesty. Although he didn't show anything on the surface when Xiang Yu praised him, he was very happy in his heart.

"My lord! I think that with the achievements of the two generals since they joined the allied army, the king should at least reward the two generals with the title of prince!" Zhang Liang also followed Xiang Yu's words and began to plan for the future. "According to my opinion, the position of duke is not enough to match the merits of the two generals. The king should grant the land of the city, so that the two generals can build a country on the land of the Central Plains!"

Zhang Liang's words surprised Tian Heng and Linghu Qiu, both of them knew that their contributions could not compare with Xiang Yu and the soldiers of the Chu army who kept attacking the city.But when Zhang Liang said that he could gain fiefdoms and cities by virtue of his meritorious deeds, and he could also form a country of his own, the two couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Tian Heng and Linghu Qiu are the commanders-in-chief of Qi State and Yan State in the allied armies, and the soldiers and horses in their hands can be regarded as the elite of the two countries.The two also wanted to return to the country to be a prince with the credit of following the allied army to invade Xianyang in Guanzhong. Now Xiang Yu actually wants the king of Chu to make him a prince and promise to build a country. This is more exciting than becoming a prince in their respective countries. Yearn for.

Then, Tian Heng and Linghu Qiu looked at Xiang Yu, wanting to see if Xiang Yu would make a statement.

"Zifang's words are true!" Xiang Yu did not disappoint Tian Heng and the two, and said after a little hesitation. "Gu also thought that with the merits of the two generals, the king should tell the princes to make the two generals princes, and then give them cities and land to build a country!"

"If you can win the co-lord's reward and build the country, a certain Tian Heng will only follow the orders of the Duke of Han!" Tian Heng received Xiang Yu's statement, and immediately raised his wine bottle to respect Xiang Yu and expressed that he would follow Xiang Yu.

Linghu Qiu was a little surprised when he heard Xiang Yu's words, but he also made a decision after hearing Tian Heng's words.

"A certain family is just like General Tian Heng, but the Duke of Han obeys!" Linghu Qiu followed Tian Heng, and also raised the wine bottle on the table to express his attitude.

"Hahaha! The two generals can't be like this. In the future, we will all be courtiers of King Huai, and we should obey King Huai's order!" Xiang Yu smiled, and then reminded him aloud.

"Yes! Yes!! Yes!!" Tian Heng immediately nodded his head and said yes, and then promised Xiang Yu: "We will obey King Huai's orders in the future, but if the Duke of Han orders us, we will obey! "

"The two generals are willing to do so!" Xiang Yu nodded without hesitation, and then asked aloud: "The two generals want King Huai to discuss with King Qi and King Yan to decide on the city and county of your fiefdom. County, or should we choose for the two alone?"

Tian Heng and Linghu Qiu couldn't help but fell into deep thought after hearing this.

After a long time, Tian Heng and Linghu Qiu both clasped their hands and said: "We are enfeoffing land and cities, but it is up to the Duke of Han to decide!"

"If that's the case, the two generals will have a good plan! At least let the two generals get a county to seal the country, and it will not be in vain for the two generals to serve King Huai!" Xiang Yu laughed immediately when he heard the words.

"Xie Han Gong!" Tian Heng and Linghu Qiu heard Xiang Yu's words, and each of them bowed their hands with joy on their faces to thank them.

"You two generals don't need to be like this!" Xiang Yu smiled and waved his hands to indicate that Tian Heng and his two don't need to thank them, then raised his wine bottle and said to the people in the government office: "Come on! Because our allied forces are about to capture the Qin land in Guanzhong, drink full This cup! Please!"

"Please~!" Everyone picked up the wine bottles on the table and toasted each other.

After talking about the matter, Xiang Yu ordered Han Xin to hand in the singing and dancing, and began to drink and have fun with Tian Heng and Linghu Qiu.

During the banquet, Long Qi, Ying Bu and other generals toasted Tian Heng and Linghu Qiu continuously, causing them to drink a lot.

When the banquet was over, Pu Wu and Zhong Limei were ordered to send Tian Heng and Tian Heng back to their residence.

Above the government office lobby, Xiang Yu said to Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang, "Yafu, Zifang! Your plan has come true!"

Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang each nodded to indicate that it was indeed the case, and Zhang Liang said in disbelief, "I never thought that things would go so smoothly! That Tian Heng and Linghu Qiu would agree readily, really made Chen and Mr. Fan Very surprised! But this is the best for the Lord!"

What the three of Xiang Yu said made Yingbo very puzzled.

After asking Long Qi in a low voice, Ying Bo finally understood why his lord had treated Tian Heng and Linghu Qiu like this just now.

The resentment that Yingbu had accumulated during the banquet also dissipated, and turned into regret for complaining about his lord just now, but more for the joy that his lord wanted to follow the example of the first emperor to seize the ambition of the world.
