Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 326 Entering Xianyang (16)

It was also helpless for Sima Cong to greet Yan Le at the gate of the city in person. If Yan Le is to contribute his strength, he needs to be given enough respect, otherwise the two people who are not at odds with each other will not be able to work together.

Yan Le was very surprised and surprised to see Sima Cong personally coming to greet him, but Yan Le got off his horse quickly after the surprise.

"Sima Xiangguo came to welcome him, which is beyond Yan Le's expectation!" Yan Le first greeted Sima Cong, and then said with some emotion.

"Yan Taiwei doesn't have to be so surprised, you and I are both veteran generals of the Great Qin! At this time of the country's survival, shouldn't we put aside our respective grievances and join hands? The truth is that we still want to defeat the invading rebellion with Yan Taiwei, and the results are not good. It's the merit of the world!" Sima Cong smiled when he heard the words, and there was no lack of reconciliation in his words.

At first, Zhou Tong didn't think that Sima Cong would propose a settlement first, but then he thought about it, in the entire Great Qin Dynasty, the only ones who most hoped for the survival of the Qin Kingdom were these veterans who had fought with the First Emperor.

"Taiwei Yan! Sima Xiangguo has already made his words so clear, why do you have any hesitation?" Seeing that Yan Le didn't make a statement, Zhou Tong said aggressively. "Could it be that you, Taiwei, don't want to defeat the Kwantung bandits together with Sima Xiangguo and leave your name in history?"

Sima Cong was a little surprised when he heard Zhou Tong's voice, but he looked at Yan Le and waited for his statement.

"Since Xiangguo has said so, this Marquis can't let others underestimate him! Benhou is willing to obey Sima Xiangguo's order, and together with Xiangguo, defeat the thieves in the Kanto region and take back the prefectures and cities that belonged to us!" Yan Le took a deep breath. , and then made up his mind to surrender.

"Okay! With the full help of the Taiwei, our army's combat power will definitely be improved!" Sima Cong was very happy to praise Yan Le's statement.

Yan Le also very modestly stated that it was not his own credit, but the credit of the soldiers of the Northern Army.

Afterwards, Sima Cong and Yan Le entered the city hand in hand.

The commanders of the southern and northern armies also dared to talk and laugh for the first time in the presence of the leading generals of both sides because of the temporary reconciliation of their respective leading generals.

The Qin army in Wucheng was immediately in harmony, which made Zhou Tong a little surprised.

After entering the government office, Sima Cong sat down with everyone, and asked Zhou Tong aloud: "Zhou Changshi, why are you here?"

"When this country is in danger, Mr. Zhou must not stay out of the matter and ask Xiang Xiang to come and help Sima Xiangguo!" Zhou Tong heard Sima Cong's question and got up to report back.

"The two armies are fighting bravely, and there are many staff officers in the army! How can Zhou Changshi help the truth?" Sima Cong smiled when he heard the words, and questioned aloud.

"Zhou is not talented, and the two sons in the family know martial arts. He can be a general in Xiangguo's battle and cheer for Xiangguo's raid!" Zhou Tong replied very confidently.

"Oh?" Sima Cong was surprised and didn't know what to say for a while.

Yan Le also had a look of astonishment on his face, but he was quick-witted and said to Zhou Tong: "I didn't expect Zhou Changshi to know martial arts. Why don't you compete with the generals under this general. If you win, this general will And Xiangguo will definitely give Chang Shi the post of captain to serve in the army! If you lose, how about asking Chang Shi to return to Xianyang to help Feng Xiangguo raise money, food and armaments for the army?"

"This!" Zhou Tong looked at Sima Cong with some hesitation. After all, Sima Cong, as the general of the army, hadn't spoken yet.

"Since Yan Taiwei said so, I agree with him! If Zhou Changshi can defeat Yan Taiwei's lieutenant general, what's the harm in telling your Majesty to give Zhou Changshi the post of captain?" Sima Cong saw Zhou Tong looked at himself, and quickly reacted and said.

"Since the two adults have agreed, then I don't know if Zhou will have to fight against that general?" Zhou Tong was not afraid at all, and asked who he would fight with.

"Yan Jiu, Yang Jie, which one of you wants to compete with Zhou Changshi?" Yan Le asked the two captains behind him without worrying that they would be defeated by Zhou Tong.

After Yan Jiu and Yang Jie looked at each other, Yang Jie said: "The final general is willing to compete with Zhou Changshi, but if Zhou Changshi suffers any damage, please also ask Sima Xiangguo and Taiwei to mediate for the late general." two!"

Hearing Yang Jie's words, Zhou Tongdang smiled and said, "General, you don't need to worry. Injuries are inevitable during the fight. Whether Zhou's injury is serious or not, it has nothing to do with the general! Presumably, the general should be just like Zhou. Thoughts?"

"Naturally! If the general is injured, he is also not good at learning, and has nothing to do with you, Zhou Tong!" Yang Jie couldn't help sneering when he heard this, and made up his mind to teach the civil servant a lesson.

Everyone walked towards the school grounds, Zhou Tong took a long spear from his eldest son Zhou Qing and waved it twice.As an opponent, Yang Jie also took over his halberd from his own soldiers, without paying attention to Zhou Tong at all.

"Sima Xiangguo, Taiwei Yan! Zhou has already finished his preparations, please order the two adults to start the competition!" Zhou waved his spear a few times, then cupped his hands and said to Sima Cong and Yan Le.

"Then, let's compete! But remember, don't hurt your vitals!" Hearing this, Sima Cong nodded.

Before Sima Cong could finish his words, Yang Jie, who couldn't hold back for a long time, stabbed his halberd at Zhou Tong, and Zhou Tong also waved his spear in response.

Within several moves, the two were still fighting inextricably. In the eyes of Sima Cong and others, the two were rivals at chess, but only Yang Jie who fought with Zhou Tong knew that he underestimated this civil servant.

As soon as Yang Jie and Zhou Tong fought against each other, they knew that they felt a force coming from the spear, which was much stronger than his own.From the first move, Yang Jie was guided and manipulated by Zhou Tong.For the sake of his own face, Yang Jie had no choice but to continue following the moves that Zhou Tong had prepared for him...

After more than ten rounds, Yang Jie's halberd was picked up by Zhou Tong, and the fight ended.

Zhou Tong's victory made the lieutenant generals watching in the school grounds, Sima Cong, Yan Le and others on the commanding platform were silent for a long time.

Everyone knows that Yang Jie's martial arts in the army is at least the top ten, but now he is defeated by a long history, and within ten moves, this is really unexpected.

After a long time, some soldiers cheered Zhou Tong loudly.

Sima Cong and Yan Le also recovered and looked at each other.

"Zhou Tong Zhou Changshi defeated General Yang Pi, and the truth will be played together with Yan Taiwei. Your Majesty bestows Zhou Tong Zhou Changshi as a captain! During this period, Zhou Tong Zhou Changshi is treated like a captain in the army!" Sima Cong quickly stood up and announced loudly.

"Here!" The generals and sergeants who were watching all cupped their hands to express their understanding.

"Thank you, Sima Xiangguo! Thank you, Taiwei Yan!" Zhou Tong also put the spear in his hand upside down on the school field, and cupped his hands to thank Sima Cong and Yan Le.

By defeating Yang Jie, Zhou Tong formally entered the top ranks of the Qin Army.

Ziying agreed to Sima Cong and Yan Le's joint performance of the newspaper and award, and immediately issued an imperial edict to make Zhou Tong the captain, and along the way made his eldest son Zhou Qing a school lieutenant, and his second son Zhou Jun a thousand commander.
