After returning home from Wang's house, Meng Tian was depressed all the time, didn't even eat, and went directly back to his house to lie down.

Zi Yanran understood her husband's mood, she followed Meng Tian back to the room, and saw that Meng Tian didn't take off her clothes, just casually threw her shoes aside and lay down under the quilt. Zi Yanran walked to the side of the bed and gently patted Meng Tian with her hand.

Meng Tian saw that it was Zi Yanran, turned his head and continued to pretend to be asleep.

Zi Yanran sighed faintly, she said: "I know your feelings, not to mention your father and mother? Mother told me after you went to court, she said that she didn't want you to go to the battlefield, because of the death of grandfather, mother was afraid that she would lose your son, and I was also afraid of losing you, so I also agreed with my mother's statement." ”

Meng Tian turned over and sat up, "I don't know that you are afraid that I will die on the battlefield, but Yanran has to think so, if I don't go, now or in the future, there may be more people of our Qin Kingdom who will die under the swords and guns of others." Everyone else can die, why can't I die? If it is because of me that we have one less person to die in the Qin Kingdom, then I am willing to die. ”

Zi Yanran lay in Meng Tian's arms, holding her beloved man, she said: "I don't care about others, and I can't care about it, but you are my man, and no woman would want her man to die on the battlefield." I just want you to be by my side so that I'll be satisfied. ”

Meng Tian lowered his head and kissed Zi Yanran, and said, "I will, I will always be by your side." ”

Since Wang Jian led his troops to the battle, the situation in Xianyang City has gradually changed. Although there is less Wang Jian in the army, the generals are still on the side of King Yingzheng of Qin. Compared with the military generals, the civil officials in the court of the Qin State are more chaotic when they stand in line. Ying Zheng and the queen after the wedding set Yongcheng to meet the queen mother Zhao Ji, although failed to succeed in the pro-government matter, but due to the mistake of Xiangguo Lu Buwei, Lu Buwei in the hearts of Ying Zheng and many courtiers has lost the prestige before, coupled with the secret friends, gold and silver treasures are not spared, many people have firmly invested in the door.

While wooing the courtiers, Wei Yi, Li Simengyi and others were not idle, they didn't think about it like that, but did it in secret. Wei Yu felt that instead of letting the courtiers who were willing to follow Ying Zheng surface from the beginning, it was better to continue to attract people's eyes and ears, lurk in Lü Buweihe's team, and collect their incriminating evidence at the same time, and save it for the future when the two men were taken to surface and capture the thief in one fell swoop.

Wei Yi's strategy was approved by Ying Zheng, Li Si and Meng Yi, even if they wanted to do it to Lu Buwei now, but they did not have the evidence of their crime of causing trouble in the court, if they were directly arrested, it would outweigh the losses, and in the end, they would give the truth. Let the people you trust go to Lu Buweihe's disciples, so that you can know who are the vassals of these two people, and finally cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.

The situation in Xianyang City is not optimistic, and the battlefield of the party is also worrying. Wang Jian led an army of 100,000 and the army brought over by the surrounding counties, as well as the original army led by Zhang Tang, a total of 200,000 troops, which were stationed outside the county town of Shangdang. Shangdang County and the five cities under its jurisdiction, most of the defenders of these six cities are Qin, and most of them panicked when they learned that Wang Jian led the army to attack Chang'an Jun and Fan Yuzhi, after all, Wang Qian's name is there, if one day these six cities are taken back by Wang Qian's army, then wouldn't he be in a catastrophe?

Get on the party

The county guard of the county town, Chang'an Juncheng sat on the seat of the county guard, and the generals of Zhao Guo, Li Mu and Fan Yuzhi, who rushed to the county seat after hearing the news, sat on both sides, and as for the original Shangdang county guard, Hu Shi was sitting in the last seat.

Chang'anjun was worried, he was also afraid of Wang Qian, who was his own brother, the great king of Qin, who was sent by Wang Yingzheng to take back the Shangdang, but he took the lead in rebellion. Although the monarch of Zhao has promised to help him overthrow the throne of Yingzheng and then support himself to ascend to the throne, he only needs to cede the land of the two counties of Zhao in return. But he didn't think that if he failed, he would definitely die.

There was silence in the lobby of the county guard mansion for a long time, and Chang'an Juncheng opened his mouth to break the silence: "General Li, General Fan, now that this Wang Jian has led an army of 200,000 to attack us, what should we do? ”

Li Mu didn't speak, and it was Fan Yuqi who spoke first: "Your Excellency doesn't have to worry, now we have the six cities of Shangdang as our backing, and there is Zhao Guo behind us, and King Zhao even sent General Li to help you, what is there to worry about?"

After listening to Fan Yuzhi's words, Cheng looked at Li Mu, who was sitting on the other side, "General Li has a strategy to retreat from the enemy?"

Li Mu pondered for a moment and said: "Your Excellency doesn't need to be anxious, that Wang Jian has only brought 200,000 people now, and among these 200,000 people, only the 100,000 he brought from Xianyang can be regarded as elite, and the remaining half of the people are just cannon fodder he found from other places." As General Fan said just now, we have six cities to triumph with, and there is my King Zhao behind him to support the monarch, the monarch only needs to stand up that he is the real heir to the throne of Qin, as for the strategy of defending the city and retreating from the enemy, just hand it over to the general and General Fan. ”

Hearing Li Mu say this, Cheng's heart calmed down. The throne of Qin was supposed to belong to him, but this Ying Zheng didn't know where to jump out, and snatched the throne away in his own hands, and his mother was forced to commit suicide, and even his name was deprived by Ying Zheng and his mother Empress Dowager Zhao. Fortunately, he is the biological flesh and blood of his father, and with the protection of many clan elders, he has finally survived to this day. Now that there is a chance to get the throne back, how can this make Cheng not impressed?

Cheng stood up and said, "In this case, the great affairs of this monarch depend on the two generals. ”

As soon as Cheng finished speaking, a soldier came in outside the door and reported: "Wang Jian led the army to call for a battle outside the city, and asked Jun Shang and General Fan Yuzhi to go out to answer." ”

Fan Yuqi asked, "How many people did Wang Jian bring this time?"

The soldier replied, "The villain is observing from the castle tower, and it is about fifty thousand." ”

Fan Yuzhi looked at Cheng and said, "Is the monarch willing to go?"

"It's good to take a look, in the past few days, I heard that there are Qin soldiers in the army who have defected, and Benjun went out to see Wang Jian this time, one is for the name of Benjun, and the other is also to stabilize the morale of the army. Besides, with General Li Mu here, Benjun has nothing to worry about. ”

Li Mu also stood up and said to Cheng: "What the king said is exact. Jun Shang and General Fan can take people out of the city to answer Wang Jian as much as possible, and General Ben will lead 20,000 soldiers and horses out of the city to meet at any time. ”

Chang'an Juncheng and Fan Yuzhi took 2,000 soldiers and horses out of the gate of Shangdang County, and went outside the city to confront Wang Qian's army, which was a stone's throw away.

Wang Jian saw Chang'an Juncheng and Fan Yuzhi taking soldiers and horses out of the city and facing each other

Zhang Tang and Li Xin said: "When I was in Xianyang that day, Ben Jiang thought that the king's younger brother was cowardly and couldn't make a big deal, but now it seems that Ben Jiang is gone, haha." ”

Li Xin was also a general of the Qin State, and his reputation was not under the Mengwu who led the rear army. Li Xin said: "At the beginning, the last general also felt like this, and today Chang'an Jun dared to take such a little person out of the city to answer the general, it seems that he is also a little bold." To put it mildly, he has a bad fate, and maybe he has really become our king today. ”

Wang Jian stroked his beard, "It's a pity that he just doesn't have that life, otherwise he wouldn't dare to join forces with Zhao State this time and rebel against my Qin State." After finishing speaking, Wang Jian immediately stepped forward and stopped dozens of steps away from Cheng and Fan Yuzhi.

Chang'an Juncheng rode on a horse and said to Wang Qian: "General Wang, this gentleman is polite here. The old general is old, why did he lead the army here again this time?"

Wang Jian grabbed the reins of the war horse under his crotch and replied, "Chang'anjun, aren't you knowingly asking? General Ben came here, naturally for Chang'anjun. Chang'an Jun, I will advise you, abandon the city and surrender, and I will be able to say a few good words for you in front of the king, otherwise I will be the iron law of Great Qin, and anyone who betrays my Qin State will be killed. ”

Fan Yuqi came to Cheng's side after Cheng and said to Wang Qian: "Wang Qian, you are not ashamed to speak out here. Chang'an Jun is the bloodline of the first king, and he is the best candidate for the king of Qin. Today, King Yingzheng of Qin is the illegitimate son of Empress Dowager Zhao Ji and Xiangguo Lu Buwei, not the blood of the first king, and letting such people sit on the throne will not ruin the fortunes of the Great Qin State? The old general Wang should work with Chang'an Jun, and it is the royal way to support orthodoxy. ”

"Well, Fan Yuzhi, you chaotic minister and thief, you will talk to Chang'an Jun, how can you talk. You, a villain, told this outrageous lie, intending to confuse Chang'anjun, secretly colluding with Zhao Guo, and attempting to rebel. The Queen Mother was pregnant and gave birth to the current king in October, and even the previous king did not doubt this matter, and you thief dare to talk nonsense here. You have committed a heinous crime, the king has beheaded you all over the house, and you are still here to be ashamed when you die, intending to shake the hearts of our army, and when I take you down, you will be broken into ten thousand pieces. ”

Fan Yuzhi has been lurking in the Qin State for more than ten years, as early as the Qin State got married and had children, when he was determined to betray the Qin State, he had sent people to Xianyang to secretly rescue his wife and children in Xianyang City, but he was caught by Meng Fu, tied up his wife and children and sent him back to Xianyang, and was killed by Yingzheng's order, which is why Fan Yuzhi was determined to kill Meng Fu when he ambushed Meng Fu that day. Later, dozens of arrows were shot in the depths of Meng Yu, half of which were from Fan Yuzhi's hands, which shows how much Fan Yuzhi hated Meng Fu.

Fan Yuqi smiled miserably, "Exchange the lives of my wife and children for the lives of 20,000 soldiers of your Qin army and the lives of a great general, and my wife and children can also be blinded by the spirit of the sky." ”

When Wang Jian heard Fan Yuzhi talk about killing Meng Yu, he couldn't help but be furious, and said angrily: "The thief suffers death!" After that, he actually drew his sword and killed Chang'an Juncheng and Fan Yuzhi, and the 50,000 troops behind Wang Jian saw the commander charging, so they naturally followed and killed.

Fan Yuzhi saw that Wang Jian waved his army and killed him, but he only brought 2,000 men and horses, and hurriedly retreated to Shangdang County with Chang'an Jun. Li Mu saw Fan Yuqi and Cheng returning to the city on the city wall, and immediately ordered the city gate to be closed, and then ordered the archers to shoot arrows and shoot back Wang Qian's army, which had been chasing under the city.

In the past few days, I have something to do during the day, and I am busy opening a store, ensuring that I will change 3,000 words a day.
