In early July, civil strife broke out in Qin. Lu Chao, the general guarding Hangu Pass and the Qin general, led the main force of one hundred thousand Qin troops to march from Hangu Pass to Xianyang with the slogan of "cleaning the emperor's side and punishing traitors". Along the way, the troops were as strong as a broken bamboo. The front is approaching Xianyang, and the Qin army at Hangu Pass has always been the elite of the Qin team. Its status in the country is second only to the Xuanyi Guards stationed in Xianyang. However, the Xuanyi Guards only have a strength of 30,000 people at most, and Hangu Pass However, there were hundreds of thousands of Qin's border troops, and all the counties and counties along the way fell into oblivion. Lu Chao's advance was so rapid that the forwards advanced more than a hundred miles a day at their fastest. Lu Chao's blatant rebellion not only made Xianyang angry, but also horrified them. The hurried King Ying Ying of Qin discovered that the military power he had in his hands was really limited. Thirty thousand Xuanyi guards were the basis for garrisoning Xianyang. The strength must not leave Xianyang unless it is absolutely necessary. The new army that relied most heavily on Bai Qi's training was held back by the giant pirate Pi Zhiqiu in Nanyang County. The peasant army uprising broke out in Nanyang. , hundreds of thousands of people were trapped, and the entire Nanyang County was in chaos. At this time, another group of rebels in Shu County, headed by Niu Teng, with Wen Yi as the vanguard, brazenly left Shu County. Threatening Bai Qi's flanks, Bai Qi found it difficult to move in Nanyang for a while. Although the combat power of these two rebels was not enough to threaten Bai Qi, it also made it impossible for Bai Qi to escape and return for a while. Return to Xianyang to attack Lu Chao's troops. At this time, the only person Xianyang could count on was Tan Feng from Yingchuan County. The courier who rushed 800 miles away killed several horses and rushed to Yingchuan County. Tan Feng readily agreed and indeed sent troops. However, his army was divided into two groups, rushing all the way to Tai'an and directly attacking Wulong. Tai'an was caught off guard and was knocked down by Tan Feng's general Sima Yan, but Wulong's guard Gongsun Kang had been prepared for it. Relying on the strong city, it was able to withstand the strong attack of Yin Cuo, another general under Tan Feng. Gongsun Kang is the nephew of Gongsun Ying, a former great nobleman in Korea. In terms of family lineage, he is related by marriage to Lu Chao, who married Gongsun Ying's daughter Gongsun Yan. Gongsun Kang naturally knows what Lu Chao wants to do. Ming had been preparing for this. He originally wanted to wait until Lu Chao raised his troops, but he did not expect that he would be suddenly attacked by Tan Feng. However, Gongsun Kang, who had been preparing for war for a long time, still withstood this sudden attack. After all, he had his subordinates and some generals Lu Chao secretly sent to him to guide his troops. It was through these people that he could survive Arriving at Wulong County. The messenger was quite happy at first, but Tan Feng's next move made him shocked and angry, because Tan Feng's army stopped moving, no matter how he pushed and begged. Tan Feng was unmoved by the threats, and made excuses that Wu Long had not yet come down, so that his army left. I am afraid that Gongsun Kang will immediately send his troops to Yingchuan. Once he captures Yingchuan and colludes with the Han army, the Han army will inevitably march straight in. It poses a great threat to Da Qin, so he will never take a step forward before taking Wulong. The messenger from Xianyang is also a person who knows the military. Seeing this situation, how can I not understand in my heart that Tan Feng is using the excuse of the King of Qin to summon him to take the opportunity to occupy Wulong and Tai'an and expand his territory. As for returning to Xianyang to protect the frame, Tan Feng is afraid that This was not the intention from beginning to end. In panic and anger, the messenger immediately set off to leave. Tan Feng did not stop him and sent the messenger away with a smile. He also asked him to tell King Ying Ying of Qin that after he defeated Gongsun Kang, the rebellious minister and traitor who colluded with Lu Chao, Immediately he sent his troops to Xianyang to devote all his strength to protecting the king. Facing the smiling tiger in front of him, the messenger really had no intention of crying anymore. Lu Chao was now a tiger descending from the mountain, while Tan Feng was like a hungry wolf, silently showing his sharp fangs. In the southern part of the Qin State, another general, Zhou Yu, also received an order from the King of Qin to return to rescue Xianyang. Lu Chao, Tan Feng, and Zhou Yu were all Yan people, but compared to the first two, Zhou Yu had always been weak. It was much more low-key. Meng Tian's 200,000 border troops were split into pieces. In the end, only more than 50,000 people remained on the southern border, and these more than 50,000 people were led by Zhou Yuzhi. Over the years, Zhou Yu has been leading this team diligently, slowly and little by little bringing this scattered army together. After several years, they finally regained their combat effectiveness. On the table in front of him, there were three letters. One was from Lu Chao. Lu Chao, who started a rebellion, would not forget this low-key commander. In the letter, Lu Chao called on Zhou Yu to raise troops to respond to him. They worked together to clear the emperor's side, and after killing the traitor Fan Sui, they promised to give Zhou Yu the treatment of a marquis, and together they helped the king to revitalize the imperial court. But Zhou Yu was not a child. He had already experienced several military coups, so of course he knew What is the hidden meaning here? Another letter came from Tan Feng, his partner who had been inseparable from the Yan Kingdom. After Tan Fengjiu killed Ji Ling, the former King of Yan, the two parted ways and had no contact anymore. But this time Tan Feng also wrote a letter, not to win over him, but?Tell Zhou Yu sincerely that it is never a good idea to raise troops to serve the king at the moment. The best way out is to support the troops with self-respect, postpone all actions, and wait until Xianyang and Lu Chao have a winner before making a decision. The third letter is naturally Wang Ming from Xianyang. The dozens of generals under the account also looked at each other in confusion. Zhou Yu did not hide anything and circulated these three very different letters to everyone. "Generals, this is a serious matter. Zhou doesn't dare to make a rash decision. This affects our tens of thousands of troops and the lives of our generals, so Zhou wants to ask you all to come up with an idea." Zhou Yu looked at everyone and said, Slowly. Unlike Lu Chao and Tan Feng, he never thought of turning his army into his own private army. In the past few years, what he did most was to unite the generals around him. These generals who were left over from the Mengtian era also rejected Zhou Yu from the beginning, and slowly began to accept this foreign general. After Mengtian died, other influential people such as Xu Yahua were transferred far away, and those who stayed in the south These generals were not convinced by each other. No matter who came to power, the others would be unconvinced. However, Zhou Yu became the buffer between them. Over the years, everyone was gradually convinced by Zhou Yu. , but he was willing to follow this generous general. At this moment, the letters were circulated one by one in everyone's hands, but no one dared to speak at will. After the three letters were circulated among everyone, they returned to the big case in front of Zhou Yu. After hesitating for a long time, veteran Tan Wei stood up. "General Zhou, we are all rough guys. Unlike you, General Zhou, who is both civil and military and knowledgeable. We all admire you. You can make up your mind. It seems to Lao Tan that everyone makes sense. Lu Chao promised to be an official. If we work with him, we may have a good future. Tan Feng said that it is good to have troops and respect ourselves. No matter who wins in the future, no matter what happens to us, at least we can hold on. This piece of territory, but in the end, Xianyang is our royal capital after all, and the king is also the king of our Da Qin. We also have the salary of Da Qin, so it is unreasonable not to save it. Anyway, I am confused. " "Old Tan. You're right, General Zhou should make up his mind. If we didn't have General Zhou's protection over the years, we might have been stripped of our armor and driven back to farm. Anyway, I followed General Zhou. General Zhou is kind. People will not fail us. Over the years, I have seen through this." Another stood up and said loudly. "Thank you brothers for your consideration." Zhou Yu stood up, cupped his hands in front of everyone, glanced at the generals in the tent, picked up a letter from the table, and said: "What Tan Feng said seems reasonable. , in fact, for us, it is the most undesirable. We are not Yingchuan here, and we do not have a strong foundation like his. All our needs come from the supply of the court and local governments. Once we support our troops and respect ourselves, no matter who it is, If we win in the end, we will not end well. It will only cut off our military pay and supplies, and we will be dead." He tore Tan Feng's letter into pieces and raised his hand, and there was a rain of paper in front of him. "Lu Chao is ambitious. Although he is under the banner of scheming the emperor and punishing traitors, I think everyone knows what he wants to do. This man is deeply favored by the country and is highly valued by two generations of kings. At present, the Han Dynasty is powerful and aggressive. , he went to risk the country for his own selfish interests and raised troops to rebel. If he did this without colluding with the Han State, I would never believe it. Otherwise, how could the Han State stand still after taking Lu Bin? Or even withdrawing a large number of troops? Is it really because of Wang Jian? Let¡¯s not talk about how powerful Wang Jian is. Just say that Wang Jian has to cross the vast desert if he wants to attack the Han Dynasty. This is worthy of Gao Yuan sending most of his troops in the First Military Region. "Withdraw? This is just Gao Yuan letting Lu Chao feel free to rebel." "This person has no kindness in his heart. Even if we raise troops to respond to him, we will definitely be the target of his elimination after the incident. He cannot feel safe." Use us, and, as I said before, we are deeply favored by the country. Needless to say, generals, even I, Zhou, was just a loser in the past, but the late king used me seriously. I want to repay this kindness. Everyone, think about General Meng Tian. General Meng Tian did die unjustly, but General Meng Tian was unwilling to die. What could the late king do? But General Meng still chose to leave with the late king. He would rather die. He doesn't want the Qin State to be in turmoil. He would rather die than save your family and lives. Now, it's time for us to do something!" Zhou Yu slowly tore apart Lu Chao's letter bit by bit, " Zhou decided to raise troops to serve the king and return to Xianyang. Generals, do you have any objections? " "I am willing to follow General Zhou!" The generals in the tent shouted together. Zhou Yu mentioned their old boss Meng Tian, ??which made everyone feel sad. Extremely, the old general Meng would rather die than let the Qin state be in turmoil. Now, how can they violate the old general's will and cause serious scars to the Qin state?Another knife was added to the body. "Thank you, generals. We are raising troops to serve the king. The only thing I have to worry about is the people of Chu. In the past few days, they have mobilized their troops frequently, fearing that they may have evil intentions. As soon as we leave, the gate to the south of Da Qin will be opened, and the people of Chu will be Tathagata. What should we do?" "Zhou Yudao. Tan Wei said loudly: "General Zhou, if Xianyang is not protected and the king is in trouble, then Qin will be gone, so what if the south is lost. If we can succeed with the king, defeat Lu Chao, Qin will be unified again, and the Chu army will be afraid What? Thirty years ago, the Allied Forces of the Six Nations fought all the way to Xianyang City. Most of the Qin Kingdom was lost, but we finally defeated them. In the following years, we overwhelmed them. If Chu If someone dares to come, we will still have to pay high interest in the future. "Is that right?" "Old Tan is right, first calm down the internal strife, and then defend against external aggression!" everyone said in unison. "Okay, in that case, let's all go down and make preparations. After three days, the whole army will break camp and return to Xianyang!" Zhou Yu made a bang and slapped his palms heavily on the table. (To be continued.)?¡
