Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 325 Entering Xianyang (15)

Wucheng.

In the government office, Sima Cong, Feng Xin, Sima Ying, Qin Xi, and Jia Yuan gathered around a topographic map of Wucheng and looked at it.

"Tell me, how can we stop this chaotic army here!" Sima Cong looked at the four people around him, and then asked aloud.

"There is no danger around Wucheng, and now our army is far behind in the battle against the Kwantung Rebellion, regardless of the number of people and elites. The final general really can't think of any way, only to set up a few more camps outside Wucheng and fight with Wucheng. The cities depend on each other, and we just stick to it!" After Feng Xin cupped his hands, he expressed his thoughts to Sima Cong.

Sima Cong nodded after listening to Feng Xinzhi's words, then looked at his nephew Sima Ying, wondering if he had other ideas.

"Uncle! According to the news from Heibingtai, the commander of this Chu army was Li You, the son of Prime Minister Li Si when the First Emperor was alive! Appreciation and promotion. Although Zhao Gao persecuted Prime Minister Li Si later, he feigned death and defected to Xiang Yu, the Chu thief, but he must still have his heart for Da Qin. Why don't you send someone secretly to recruit him?" Seeing Sima Cong looking at him, Sima Ying said, He knew that if he didn't say something, he would be blamed by Sima Cong afterwards, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say it.

"Stupid!" Sima Cong heard Sima Ying's words, and immediately angrily reprimanded him for his childish thinking.

"Although Li You is the son of Li Si, if he hadn't given up on Da Qin in his heart, he would not have defected to the Chu thief Xiang Yu. And now that Xiang Yu's power is unmatched in the world, why should Li You command a hundred thousand elites under his command? Return to my Great Qin? In addition, Li You is sworn brother of Chu thief Xiang Yu, and even sworn brothers with that Xiang Yu and Wang Li, who is entrenched in Taiyuan and refuses to obey the court's orders. You are so naive to think that you can recruit Li You to return to Great Qin Huh?" After that, Sima Cong gave the reason why he angrily scolded Sima Ying for being stupid.

Sima Ying had no temper after being scolded by Sima Cong, so she had to bow her head obediently.

"Zhengxian County and Xiayu must not give up, but if Li You reports to the Chu thief Xiang Yu, he will definitely attract a large army. Our Southern Army alone, which has less than 12 people, cannot withstand the Kwantung Rebellion. All the southern troops from the south were dispatched, and then Yan Le from the northern army was ordered to lead troops to support! Xiagu and Zheng counties were handed over to the imperial army and Xianyang city guards to garrison! Otherwise, in terms of the number of troops, our army will be far inferior to the Kanto Betrayal!" Sima Cong slightly suppressed the anger in his chest, and slowly expressed his plan.

"Shangzhu Kingdom's words are not unreasonable! But now that His Majesty has issued an edict declaring that the imperial conquest will be personally conscripted, Shangzhu Kingdom still needs to ask His Majesty for instructions!" Qin Xi agreed with Sima Cong's words, but he couldn't help but speak with a little worry in his heart.

"General Qin is right! Then the real minister will draft a memorial to report to His Majesty, and at the same time send people to spread the real minister's order everywhere!" Sima Cong nodded and made a compromise.

"The military situation is urgent, so this is the only way!" Qin Xi and Jia Yuan looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Qin Xi and Jia Yuan agreed, Sima Cong immediately went to the table to write the memorial and then ordered someone to send it to the camp outside Xiagui City.He also ordered the messengers to go to the Northern Army and the City Guard Army with their arrows and letters to pass on the military orders.

Down.

Yan Le and He Lianhe received Sima Cong's military order at the same time, and at the same time Ziying in the Forbidden Army camp outside the city also received Sima Cong's report.

Ziying was a little confused when he received the report, but then he felt that Sima Cong wanted to transfer He Lianhe's city guard army and Yan Le's northern army to ignore his own safety, so he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart.

Putting down the report of Sima Cong in his hand, Ziying told the eunuch on duty in the tent, "Go to the city of Xiazhu and summon the generals of Zhongzhu Kingdom and Xiazhu Kingdom to see me!"

"Here!" The eunuch bowed his hands and took the order.

In Xiagui City, Yan Le and He Lianhe were thinking about whether to obey Sima Cong's military orders.

"Yanhou, the country is now the life and death of the country. It stands to reason that both of you and I should obey the military order of Sima Xiangguo. But I don't know if the military order of Sima Xiangguo is approved by His Majesty. It may be wrong for you and me to deploy troops rashly!" He Lianhe suddenly said some reasonable words, which surprised Yan Le.

But the surprise was the surprise, Yan Le didn't care at all, after all, everyone will have a flash of inspiration.

"Xiazhu Kingdom is right! Why don't you and I go to the camp outside the city and let His Majesty decide this matter?" Yan Le nodded in agreement with what He Lianhe said, and then took the initiative to make a proposal.

"Very good!" He Lianhe nodded, and got up at the same time as Yan Le to go to the Forbidden Army camp outside the city.

Coincidentally at this time, the eunuch sent by Ziying to summon the two also arrived.

Yan Le and He Lianhe went with the eunuch. On the way, they knew that Ziying had also received a report from Sima Cong, but Ziying was a little angry when he received the report.

..............................

Ziying finally agreed with Yan Le and the two to obey Sima Cong's military order, and he also led the forbidden army to enter Xiagui City.

When Tian Heng and Linghu Qiu arrived at Li You's camp with their troops, most of the Southern Army's troops in Zheng County also arrived at the same time.Yan Le led [-] Northern Army cavalry not far from Wucheng, and more than [-] Northern Army infantry behind him were also speeding up.

At Tongguan, Xiang Yu left Pu Wu, Huan Chu, and Ren Ao to garrison with [-] troops, and the rest of the troops were also on their way to Wucheng.

Xiang Yu rushed to Wucheng with more than [-] tiger and ben cavalry, followed by Han Xin and other generals of the tiger and ben army.

Union camp.

At the gate of the camp, Li You, Tian Heng, Linghu Qiu and other generals were waiting for Xiang Yu.

Sima Cong in Wucheng also received a report from the scouts, knowing that Xiang Yu was about to reach the coalition camp outside the city with more than [-] cavalry. He originally thought of sending troops to attack.But when the scout reported that Li You and others had placed the army outside the camp for guard, Sima Cong gave up on this idea.

Seeing the scout's report, Sima Cong began to feel a little worried.

The scouts found out that there were more than 3 cavalry in the Li You Department of the Chu Army, all of the [-] horses in Yan State were cavalry, and more than [-] cavalry in Qi State, plus the [-] cavalry brought by Xiang Yu this time.There are at least [-] cavalry in the coalition camp outside the city, while our own has less than [-] cavalry.

'If the two armies confront each other, I will definitely fall into a disadvantage!In addition, our army is far inferior to the coalition army led by Xiang Yu in terms of strength and elite soldiers.How can it be defeated? ’ Sima Cong was thinking while looking at the topographic map.

While Sima Cong was racking his brains, Xiang Yu was welcomed into the camp.

Zhou Tong, who came secretly from Xianyang, also met Yan Le's soldiers and horses ten miles west of Wucheng, and followed Yan Le to Wucheng.

Soon a scout reported that Yan Le had arrived with the army, Sima Cong put away those unrealistic thoughts in his mind, packed his clothes and went to the city gate to meet Yan Le.
