Chapter 217: Cutting Chu
Pang Fei was awakened by a knock on the door in his sleep, he got up impatiently and said: "Which bastard dares to disturb Lao Tzu's sweet dream, if there is no big thing to say that Lao Tzu has to pull your head off!"
But as soon as he opened the door, the momentum that he had just been woken up was gone in an instant. "Well, General Meng, why did you come back from the Western Regions so quickly? ”
Pang Fei opened the door and walked in tomorrow, smelling a bad smell of wine in the house, Meng Tian frowned. "No need, this trip to the Western Regions is quite smooth, and you don't need to lead troops to meet it. ”
Meng Tian saw that all the empty wine bottles were thrown in the room, and there was no place to sit, so he sat directly on the low table. "During the days I went to the Western Regions, did I kiss or kiss anything serious? When I came to you just now, I found that you had far fewer soldiers here than before I left. ”
Pang Fei casually put on a piece of clothing and put it on his body, and replied to Meng Tian's words: "General Meng doesn't know, during the time you went to the Western Regions, our Qin army has almost wiped out Wei and Zhao, and now the king is reorganizing his army in Xianyang City, preparing to destroy Chu State. Because a lot of soldiers were needed, a lot of people were transferred from the border gates. ”
Wang Shang is really going to attack the Chu State, Meng Tian confirmed his guess, according to the previous speculation of Wang Jian and Meng Tian, the attack on the Chu State is definitely to pour the strength of the whole Qin State to capture the Chu State in one fell swoop, otherwise according to the topography of the Chu State, they will definitely be able to find another place to re-establish the country, and then the gains will outweigh the losses.
"Okay, I'll give you a chance now, are you willing to stay here or go back to Mengjiajun with me? If you're worried that General Wang will disagree, then you can rest assured, I'll intercede for you, Old General. Meng Tian looked at Pang Fei and said.
Pang Fei was very excited when he heard that he could leave here. He kneeled down to Meng Tian with a fist and said, "The last general is willing to follow General Meng." ”
"Okay, then you quickly pack your things, and we'll leave for Beijun right away. When I'm done taking care of the affairs of Beijun, we'll be in Xianyang City. Meng Tian stood up, instructed Pang Fei, and then walked outside the house.
Since even Pang Fei knew about the major event of attacking the Chu State, it seems that this was many days ago, and no matter how fast this news spreads, it will probably take about ten days to reach here, which means that as soon as he set off for Loulan, the king has already begun to send troops to attack the Chu State. I just don't know how the battle is going now? Meng Tian is very concerned about the battle situation in his heart, so he wants to hurry back to Beijun, if he wants to attack the Chu State, Yingzheng will definitely not forget him.
Pang Fei quickly packed up his things, but in fact, there was nothing left, only a suit of armor and some silver taels, this is all Pang Fei's belongings.
"Let's go. Seeing Pang Fei coming out, Meng Tian rode on the black wind and said.
Meng Tian and the three of them set off from the border camp overnight, and it took a day, when the sun was about to set down again, and finally saw the tall and strong city wall of Beijun City on the grassland.
Meng Tian rode the black wind through the area around the gate of Beijun City, and rushed straight to his and Zi Yanran's residence in Beijun, and when he entered the house, he found that Zi Yanran and his son were not here. There was another woman living in the courtyard who was okay, and when she saw Meng Tian breaking in, she shouted and shouted for someone to drive Meng Tian out.
Meng Tian ignored him, and just wanted to break into the courtyard, Han Jin walked out of the house in the courtyard, saw that it was Meng Tian, hurriedly stopped the woman's call, and then hurriedly saluted Meng Tian.
Seeing Han Jin, Meng Tian waved his hand and asked Pang Fei, who was about to enter the courtyard, to continue waiting for him outside. "Lord Han, what about my wife and children?" Meng Tian asked Han Jin.
Han Jin explained to Meng Tian: "General Meng, don't worry, your lady and the little prince are very good, the day after you left, the king's edict came down, let you go back quickly." The lady took the edict for the general, explained the matter to the Zijun guard, and then took the little prince back to Xianyang City. Oh, by the way, Madame go and show General Meng the edict of the king I have placed in the main hall. "Come on
Hearing that Zi Yanran and his son Xiao Tianci had nothing to do, Meng Tian was relieved. When Han Jin's wife took Ying Zheng's edict, Han Jin handed it to Meng Tian, opened it and saw that this edict was indeed Ying Zheng's edict calling him to Xianyang City, and it was indeed a matter of attacking Chu State.
Meng Tian read the edict, thanked Han Jin, and took Pang Fei to his father-in-law again. It's dark today, and I can't rush anymore, and if I go on the road again, not to mention that they can't hold on, even a sweaty BMW like Heifeng has reached the limit.
Five or six days of continuous hurrying, so that Meng Tian also felt tired, there were still about two days from Beijun to Xianyang City, as a last resort, Meng Tian chose to rest in Beijun for a day.
On this day, Meng Tian didn't go anywhere, so he slept well at Zimingdu's house, and slept for a day and a night. Zi Mingdu saw that this son-in-law was working so hard for his daughter, so he didn't bother Meng Tian to rest.
After eating and sleeping enough, Meng Tian started to hurry again, and the next journey was much better, from Beijun to Xianyang City, there was a post station for the post envoys to rest, Meng Tian and they would take a break at the post station after half a day's journey, and then continue to hurry.
In addition to Pang Fei who followed him back to Xianyang City this time, there were also Mu Lituo and his wife Diana, because Zi Yanran's illness needed Diana's treatment, and Diana was also the only person who could use Paradise Grass, so after discussing with the two of them, Mu Lituo and Diana also decided to follow Meng Tian to Xianyang City. Besides, Tu Qin had already gone to Xianyang City with his sister Zi Yanran, and they were close to their son.
Along the way, Meng Tian also kept encountering soldiers rushing to Xianyang City from other places, some were recruited from all over the country, and some were defenders of a certain city, all of whom rushed to Xianyang City, preparing to attack Chu State.
Finally arrived in Xianyang City, Meng Tian rushed home and saw his parents, Zi Yanran, who was already waiting for him at home, and their son. took out the Heavenly Grass and handed it to Diana to make medicine for Zi Yanran, and Meng Tian put on the armor and went to the palace non-stop, because it was there that he could know the latest battle situation.
"Meng Tian paid a visit to the king, and the king was safe. Meng Tian entered the palace and saw King Yingzheng of Qin in Zhangtai Palace.
Ying Zheng was worried about the war in Chu State, and suddenly heard Zhao Gao say that Meng Tian had returned, so he hurriedly passed him in.
"Meng Qing, you're back, the widow wants to kill you. Ying Zheng stepped down from the throne and helped him up with his own hands in front of Meng Tian.
Meng Tian bowed slightly, and he said: "Thank you to the king for your obstacle, for the illness of the minister's wife, the minister asked the king to go to the Western Regions without permission, and ask the king to punish him." ”
Ying Zheng waved his hand, "Forget it, you are also for your wife, what is there to punish you." It's just that you have to talk to the widow about everything you encounter in the future, the widow owns the entire Great Qin, and will have the whole world in the future, what strange things can be obtained by the widow, Meng Qing grew up with the widow, how can the widow not share it with Qing?"
"Xie Wang is very kind, as soon as the minister heard that the king was going to attack the Chu State, he hurried back from Beijun. The minister wanted to know the latest situation of the attack on Chu. Meng Tian said.
As soon as he mentioned this Yingzheng, he had a headache, he returned to the throne and asked Zhao Gao to pick up some bamboo slips on the table in front of him and show them to Meng Tian, those were all battle reports from the front line. "The matter of cutting Chu was smooth at first, but then the army led by Li Xin and your father met the army led by Xiang Yan of Chu State, and was tricked by Xiang Yan, and then a big defeat, and now the State of Chu is approaching the southern county of my Qin State step by step under the leadership of Xiang Yan, and the matter of cutting Chu is not going well. ”
Meng Tian read the battle report brought by Zhao Gao in detail, but as Yingzheng said, the matter of cutting Chu did not go smoothly. Xiang Yan is also a famous general in the world, and he is also the last pillar of the Chu State, as long as the Chu army led by Xiang Yan is defeated, then the destruction of the Chu State will be a matter of time.
After reading the chapter, Ying Zheng returned it to Zhao Gao, and then hugged his fists and said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the attack on Chu should be commanded by the old general Wang Qian. That Xiang Yan is also a famous general, and he knows the way of marching, and it is not a shame for our army to suffer losses under him. Now the only one who can stabilize the morale of the army is General Wang, I hope that the king can let General Wang Jian lead the troops, and the minister is willing to be the vanguard and pacify the Chu State for my king!"
