    In October, it rained for several times and the autumn wind became colder. At this time, the supervisors urged the counties and counties to collect grain and silver. It can be said that two parties were making preparations.

    "My lords, I'm really sorry. This is what our king means. The king has a decree for you to return to Chengguo immediately without stopping in the middle. Otherwise, if something happens, don't blame me." After sending a hundred people out of the Chang'an city gate,  An official said with his hands raised.

    "Please tell your king that we understand, and we will say goodbye. We will meet again in the future." Li Taiqiong cupped his hands and walked out of the city.

    The people from the envoy followed closely, and although they were almost driven out of Chang'an, they showed no signs of embarrassment.

    "You're really arrogant." Watching them leave, the official with a contemptuous expression put away his expression and sighed.

    "My lord, wouldn't this make you the Dacheng Emperor?" One person said with a sad face when he saw no one around.

    "There's nothing we can do about it. We are now King Qin's ministers." The official lowered his voice and said.

    Realizing the word now, several people around him nodded silently and sighed.

    "These people do not want to be at odds with the Dacheng Dynasty, but the King of Qin has an edict, and the ministers can only act in accordance with the edict.  But thinking about the envoy's expression when he left, the officials all sighed.

    When two armies are fighting, it is a rule not to kill the envoy.

    No matter how well-intentioned Guo Wentong was, he would not kill the envoys, but his courtesy was not enough. He met the envoys, refused to surrender, and ordered them to be driven out of the city on the same day. This was actually expected.

    Riding on the horse, Li Taiqiong glanced back at the distant Chang'an City. Li Taiqiong said: "I will report this experience to Your Majesty when I go back. Don't be angry. Your Majesty will be angry with you."

    "What your lord said is that it won't be long before we can come to Chang'an again." After looking back, these people stopped staying and rode away directly, leaving only a puff of dust and smoke.

    Before the envoy came back, the Luoyang Miwen Pavilion received the memorial. Zhang Youzhi ordered the officials on duty at the Miwen Pavilion to go in and report. Not a moment later, a chamberlain came out to deliver the message: "Your Majesty is calling in."

    "Yes!" Zhang Youzhi bowed and agreed, and went inside. When he arrived in front of the study, he heard Wang Hongyi say in the imperial study: "Is Zhang Youzhi here? Come in!"

    "Greetings to the Emperor!" Kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times is the proper etiquette. It is not necessary for people who see him every day. Zhang Youzhi kowtowed and stood up.

    Zhang Youzhi said: "I have something important to report."

    ?????????????????????????????"

    "Well, it's about the story about King Guo Wentong of Qin." Wang Hongyi took it and said with a smile. After that, he started to read it carefully, page by page.

    Zhang Youzhi gave him a seat and served tea. He saw Wang Hongyi reading with an expressionless face. After a while, he pushed away the book and walked down to the ground, saying: "The result is as expected."

    Said to Zhang Tingyu: "What do you think about this matter?"

    Zhang Youzhi cupped his hands and replied: "This matter has been agreed upon. Now that we cannot persuade him to surrender, we will issue an edict to the world and raise troops to attack Qin."

    After hearing this, Wang Hongyi said coldly: "What you said is right, I will confirm it immediately. The imperial edict is ready. Now you can issue an edict immediately, ordering Ding Huchen to send troops from Hanzhong, and I will raise troops to force Tongguan to contain its main force.  !¡±

    Zhang Youzhi responded, then thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, it is important to raise troops to attack Tongguan. It is important to contain its main force. But Qinchuan is actually at the end of its rope. Your Majesty only needs to be kind and order the other counties of Qin to surrender."  Even if Guo Wentong doesn't surrender, what about other counties and generals?  "

    "It's really a mature idea of ????looking for the country!" Wang Hongyi's eyes shone, he turned around and happily picked up his pen, quickly wrote the decree, and said: "That's it!"

    The first year of Hongwu, November 2nd

    Yuan Yu looked at the sky and saw that the sky was dark and it seemed to be evening around him. But in fact, it was still a few hours before dark at this time.

    "My lord, the time has come" A soldier urged the horse forward, reminding him that this time he was rushing to the border to support according to the order of King Qin.

    Because the matter was urgent, we set off immediately after finishing one episode.

    Yuan Yu gave the order coldly: "Mount your horse and get ready to go!"

    "Yes!" There were 5,500 people behind them. After receiving Yuan Yu's order, they all responded to the order and the army was dispatched, even as the ground trembled faintly.

    There were many passers-by on the street at this time, and it was not crowded in the middle of the night. The people in the city had not yet rested.  Most of the shops on the road are open, and there are many customers coming in and out.

    At this time, the cold aura of the army made the frightened people shut up.

    Recently, there has been a lot of news coming from the border.These were heard by the people and discussed secretly.

    The atmosphere has become increasingly tense in the past two days. Even if they feel uneasy, in front of outsiders, the people are cautious about their words and actions, and no one dares to comment anymore.

    So many soldiers rushed out of the camp in the city, fully armed, not only wearing armor and weapons, but also carrying longbows on their backs. Behind the cavalry team, there were more than a dozen carts in the infantry camp.  Using horses to carry supplies, they galloped out of the city under the leadership of the general.

    "It seems that the situation in Guancheng is not optimistic." The boss of the tea shop next to the city gate sighed softly when he saw this scene.

    People who saw this scene secretly speculated on the situation ahead.

    Three days ago, Emperor Cheng of the State declared war. Everyone in Qinchuan was beating the drum in their hearts. The King of Qin had ruled here for many years, so he had high prestige and deterrence.

    But the reputation of the Dacheng Army is also known all over the world. The outcome of this battle affects the hearts of too many people, and there is an undercurrent surging in the Qin Dynasty.

    The autumn rain has just stopped and the chill is approaching

    November 8, Tongguan

    Yuan Yu had just arrived. At first glance, it looked like a battle was over. Blood and corpses were accumulating. Large areas of wounded soldiers were being carried away. It was obvious that the battle was over.

    Yuan Yu walked up to the corner of the gate tower.  , seeing the city, under the spurs of the sergeants, the army servants flowed through the city like ants, transporting masonry and wood to the city.

    The large camps outside the city stretched for several miles, and the entire Dacheng Army camp was filled with a sense of chilling.

    The flags were flying, and the city was looking down. A solemn atmosphere filled the air. Yuan Yu narrowed his eyes and felt a little worried. This large army was indeed an excellent soldier as the rumors said.

    Yuan Yu is an experienced general and knows the battlefield very well. He can tell the general truth and reality at a glance.

    Looking at the size of the Dacheng Army, as well as their attitude and military spirit, you know that the attack on Tongguan this time is inevitable.

    At this time, a team was coming up. Seeing no one around, they reported in a low voice: "General, coach Chang Boyuan led people to steal the camp last night, but he didn't want to be plotted by the opponent and lost thousands of people. Now,  Being angry."

    Yuan Yu nodded, this should be a fact. Now even when his own reinforcements arrived, they were not summoned immediately, and it was obvious from observation that the morale in the military camp was very low.

    Several people who were obviously military officers patrolled the city with gloomy faces.

    After getting off the city, Yuan Yu led a few soldiers and walked around the city. There were not many people on the streets here.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Everyone who could leave the city had already left the city, and if they could not leave the city, all the houses were closed, and they would never wander out unless there was something urgent.

    "General, the city is empty and there is nothing to see. Let's go to the military camp and have a look.

    "" A captain of the soldiers warned: "And maybe the commander will summon him."  "

    Yuan Yu thought about it. Although the deputy general had arranged for the people he brought to be resettled, he still had to take a look at the specific resettlement.

    Strictly speaking, the team led by Yuan Yuhe was not the direct descendant of the King of Qin. When Qinchuan unified the war, he surrendered to Guo Wentong along with his former lord.

    His original lord died of illness shortly after his return, leaving only his youngest son, who was entrusted to Yuan Yu.

    And Yuan Yu and several generals lost their lord and showed their loyalty to the King of Qin, so they gradually became more important. However, unless he had 5,000 troops in his hands and never showed off his strength, it might not be without disaster.

    Yuan Yu walked towards the military camp, his face as dark as water, making it unclear what he was thinking at this time.

    As he was walking past a barracks filled with wounded soldiers, he heard a burst of beatings and curses, which made him frown slightly.

    Several soldiers who were tied up with five-flowered flowers were tortured with sticks in front of everyone. Their eyes were hollow and their faces were expressionless, fearing that something was wrong.

    Their buttocks were already bloody, but the military sticks still fell down again and again.

    Yuan Yu glanced around and saw the fearful expressions on the faces of the onlookers.

    "What's going on?" Some soldiers went to inquire. Yuan Yu asked around halfway after leaving.

    "General, these are deserters. They were caught and beaten to death in public."

    "Deserts?" Yuan Yu was slightly startled. He could not tell his expression, but he just murmured: "It has only been a few days since the war started, and now there are deserters?"

    When there are deserters, most of them are when the battle has no chance of winning, and the soldiers are uneasy, pretending to disperse, or take advantage of the chaos to escape, or retreat before the battle is over. It is normal for deserters to occur.

    But now, the Dacheng Army has been approaching Tongguan for several days, and even Qinchuan has not returned.When entering, it would be very bad if there are deserters. This is what the military and people want.

    Yuan Yu couldn't help but think of what was on his mind again, his eyes darkened.

    Soon after arriving at the camp where the reinforcements were located, Yuan Yu stopped thinking about it. The dilapidated and messy camp in front of him made his face gloomy and uncertain.

    "General, they said that the commander-in-chief has ordered us to camp in such a place." The deputy general greeted him and said.

    Yuan Yu said calmly: "As the commander-in-chief wishes, let's do this for now."

    Yuan Yu didn¡¯t say much else. He took some supplies with him before leaving and ordered them to be sent out immediately.

    Yuan Yu was very strict in running the army. Even though the camp was dilapidated and messy, after an hour, thousands of people started to clean it up. Everywhere in the camp was cleaned inside and outside the house. Finally, a ten-meter-high garbage pile was cleared out.

    Fire was not allowed in the city, so pits were dug and filled. After cleaning, everything was clean, making everyone feel much more refreshed. They then counted the barracks, took care of the debris, and set up separate tents.

    After another hour, the entire camp suddenly became strict with laws. Yuan Yu saw some young captains busy at work, and saw the smoke rising from the kitchen stove. The main thing was the big cakes. He could only hear the constant sizzling sound and the fragrant aroma, and then there was a trace of them.  Smile.

    Food is the lifeblood of a soldier, so don¡¯t be careless. Fortunately, I brought some with me.  (To be continued
