Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 329 Entering Xianyang (19)

Facing Xiang Zhuang who was waiting for his order, Xiang Yu immediately ordered him to go and summon Zhang Liang and other counselors who were in the army.

Xiang Yu and his advisers are planning intensively, Sima Cong and Yan Le and other Qin generals in Wucheng are all in Wucheng county government.

Wucheng, county government.

"Your Majesty sent an edict, asking us to defeat the coalition forces outside Wucheng as soon as possible, and take back Tongguan!" Sima Cong handed over the edict sent by his son Yingpai to Yan Le to signal him to pass it on, and then Then he opened his mouth to say the content of the edict.

Yan Le took the order and glanced at it briefly, handed it to Sima Ying, and asked aloud: "Does the general have any clever strategies to defeat the enemy?"

"These days we are fighting with Qi Yan and other national soldiers and horses. Although our army won or lost a few of them are still small victories. However, the Chu army did not confront our army head-on! If the Chu army moves , we must be unable to resist! Therefore, the general has no idea how to defeat the coalition forces outside the city! We can only call together the generals to discuss and see if there is a good way to defeat this enemy army!" Sima Cong felt helpless Shaking his head, he said that he had no plan to defeat the enemy.

After hearing Sima Cong's words, Yan Le and the others looked at each other in blank dismay.

Seeing Yan Le and others behave like this, how could Sima Cong not know that these people have no good solution.After all, the strength of one's own side is far inferior to that of the enemy's, and there is no danger in the surrounding area except for the Huashan Mountains in the south. It is very difficult to defeat the coalition forces that have entered the pass after fighting in the Central Plains.

Sighing secretly, Sima Cong was about to wave his hand to let the generals go back when he heard footsteps approaching outside.

Sima Cong looked up at the door, only to see a person from the Black Ice Terrace entering with a letter in his hand.

Seeing Sima Cong, the people from the Black Ice Terrace bowed their hands in salute, and then said: "Gao Pass was lost, the guard Zhao Dai was defeated and fled without a trace!"

Hearing this, Sima Cong hurriedly took the letter from Heibingtai and read it.

Sima Cong seemed to lose his mind after reading it just now, and he didn't know that the letter in his hand had slipped to the ground.

Seeing this, Yan Le hurriedly got up regardless of etiquette to pick up the slipped letter and read it.

Afterwards, Yan Le stood there for a long time in a daze like Sima Cong.

"Heaven is going to destroy Qin!" Sima Cong suddenly lamented loudly when the generals were about to get up to read the letters.

Awakened by Sima Cong's lament, Yan Le pretended to be calm and said under the curious eyes of everyone: "Yaoguan was captured by [-] Guandong rebels in the south, and now the Guandong rebels are recruiting to build ships and seem to want to go straight up the domineering water!"

Yan Le's words made all the generals present gasp.

Going straight up the Bashui River can bypass fortified cities such as Lantian without losing too many troops.You can directly enter Xianyang, and you can directly attack Zhiyang and Liyi to cut off your retreat and grain roads.

"Does Your Majesty know about this?" When everyone was shocked, Yan Le looked at the people on the black ice platform and asked.

"This message is divided into three parts, one is sent to Xianyang, one is sent to His Majesty, and one is sent to the General!" The man from the Black Ice Terrace clapped his hands back.

"The only plan for now is to divide our troops and return to Xianyang to garrison, and send heavy troops to garrison Zhiyang and other places to protect our army's rear. Otherwise, even if we come up with a strategy to defeat the enemy, we will be powerless!" Yan Le nodded, and then Said to Sima Cong who was still a little dazed.

"This general's heart is in chaos! If Zhongzhu Kingdom thinks it can be implemented, then send troops!" Sima Cong couldn't calm down for a long time, and indicated to Yan Le that he could use the soldier talisman on his table to dispatch troops.

Just as Yan Le was in a hurry to dispatch troops, several large ships on Luoshui were hurrying on their way.

The people on these large ships are the main family members of the senior generals of Wang Li's troops who currently occupy Yunzhong, Taiyuan, Yanmen, Dai, Shangdang and the northern part of Hedong County. They are escorted by Wei Bo who took them to Xianyang Some members of the intelligence department and a hundred of the most elite Huben army.

The leader of the team was Lu Yi, the lieutenant general of the Huben Army who secretly followed Wei Bo into Xianyang. At this time, he was observing the ships on both sides of Luoshui River and the surrounding area to prevent Qin Army ships from chasing and intercepting them.

When Lu Yi fled with Wang Li and other family members, he first pretended to flee to Gaoling across the Jing River.However, they turned back halfway and returned to Jingshui to take a boat that had already been prepared, passing Jingshui, Zhengguo Canal all the way to Luoshui, and planned to take a boat directly from Luoshui into the Yellow River to escape from the land of Guanzhong.

At this time, Linjin, Huaide and other places were captured by the Chu army, and the south of Luoshui was actually controlled by the Chu army.

At this time, Lu Yi took Wang Li and other family members less than half a day away from Linjin, but he did not relax but was more cautious.

"General, Mrs. Wang sent a maid here!" Just as Lu Yi was thinking of asking the lord for leave after arriving in Luoyang, so that he could take a rest, a soldier of the Huben army came with a maid.

"Madam Wang, what's the matter?" Lu Yi asked the maid very kindly.

Mrs. Wang is the wife of Wang Jian who used to fight in various countries, the mother of Wang Ben, and the grandmother of Wang Li, the leader of the Jiuyuan Army of the Qin State who now occupies several counties.Although Lu Yi and his brother Lu Chen were dissatisfied with the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty, they respected the families of these famous generals very much.

"The old lady sent a servant to ask the general, when can I go ashore for a rest?" Although Lu Yi was very kind, the maid still said to Lu Yi cautiously.

"Please report back to Mrs. Wang, we will arrive at Linjin controlled by our army in half a day. We can land at that time and make some repairs at the border of Linjin!" Lu Yi pondered for a while, and then said.

The maid was overjoyed, and then bowed to Lu Yi to leave.

Lu Yi watched the maid walking back to the cabin, and said to the intelligence officer next to him, "Please quickly inform the people on the other ships that they are going to temporarily land in Linjin to rest! They sent troops to guard together!"

"Here!" The director of the intelligence department who followed Lu Yi immediately clapped his hands in response.

Pro Jincheng.

At this time, Linjin City was guarded by the Xuanwu Army's Lieutenant General Ding Fu, Duwei Zhang Nan, and Liji. There were 8000 soldiers and 3000 auxiliary soldiers in the city.Adding Ding Fu and other three personal soldiers, there are [-] soldiers and horses in the city.

"The intelligence department has just received news that General Lu Yi of the Huben Army will escort the families of General Wang Li and other generals from the north to Linjin tomorrow morning. I want the general to send troops to guard them in case of accidents!" Ding Fu said to the county government. Looking at Zhang Nan and Li Ji who had just been summoned, they talked about the news they had just received, and then asked: "Which of you two wants to lead the troops?"

"Lead the troops forward!" Zhang Nan said after Ding Fu asked.

"In this way, Zhang Duwei will lead [-] troops from the headquarters to guard, so that there will be no accidents for General Lu Yi and his party!" Seeing that Zhang Nan took the initiative to ask for orders, but Li Ji did not make a sound, he did not want Zhang Nan to lead the troops forward Ding Fu who was going had no choice but to speak up.

"Here!" Zhang Nandang accepted the order.
