242 Rushed to Longxi
With the absolute power given by Yingzheng, the state apparatus of the Qin State finally turned completely in Li Ling's hands for the first time.
The 38th Army set off from Yucheng to Longxi County in the afternoon of the same day, and Li Mu followed him.
The construction of the straight road was no longer the responsibility of Meng Tian, but was handed over to Zheng Guo, and Meng Tian led the 54th Army to carry a small amount of grain and grass and baggage, and the next day also left Yucheng and went to Longxi.
Meng Yi, who had completely taken over Lü Buwei's intelligence network, was in charge of intelligence gathering, while Li Si was in charge of continuing to recruit new soldiers and requisition food and grass.
The rest of the troops went to Longxi in batches under Wang Qian's unified arrangement.
This is already the best effort that Li Ling can make in the shortest possible time, and everything else can only be resigned to fate.
After arranging everything, Li Ling finally freed up his hands to go to the Wenxin Marquis' Mansion, he wanted to communicate with Lu Buwei to see if he could find some better way, but when he arrived at the Wenxin Marquis Mansion, it was already empty.
When Li Ling was planning to leave for Longxi himself, Li Ling learned from Ying Zheng that Lü Buwei had been quietly taken away from Xianyang by Ying Zheng two days ago, and went straight to Yongcheng Dazheng Palace, and Lü Buwei didn't know what happened in Longxi County, and Ying Zheng was deliberately hiding from Lü Buwei, for fear that Lü Buwei would be reluctant to go to Yongcheng because of this.
After saying a brief goodbye to Ying Zheng, Li Ling directly left Xianyang with the third batch of the 29th Army to Zhanghan, Longxi County.
"Your Majesty, the envoy of the Yan Kingdom is already waiting outside the palace."
Li Ling left Xianyang on the front foot, and the Qinian Palace on the back foot ushered in a guest, an envoy from the Yan Kingdom.
At this time, suddenly the envoy of Yan State ran to Xianyang, Ying Zheng subconsciously suspected that it was possible that Zhao State and the Xiongnu had colluded, and the Xiongnu would suddenly invade Longxi, if that was the case, wouldn't it be that Yang Duan and that side would be in danger?
Fortunately, after meeting the envoy of Yan Guo, all worries have disappeared.
This envoy of Yan State is Ying Zheng's old acquaintance when he was in Handan, Yan Dan, and now Yan Dan is no longer a proton in Zhao State, but has become the prince of Yan State.
It's just that this time, what Ying Zheng didn't expect was that Yan Dan, the so-called envoy, became a proton again!
Yan Prince Dan was sent to Xianyang by Yan Wangxi as a proton, one is to show that Yan does not want to be an enemy of Qin, although there is a Zhao State between the two countries, but Yan Wangxi believes that sooner or later, Zhao will be destroyed by Qin, and the next unlucky one is likely to be Yan State, and he must plan early.
Second, Yan Wangxi also asked Yan Dan to bring a big gift!
Huan Qi!
This great general of the Qin State!
This general of the Qin State, whose whereabouts are unknown after the annihilation of the entire army in the Zhao State, is hiding in the territory of the Yan State at the moment, after Yan Wangxi learned about this, he did not rush to find Huan Qi, but sent people to keep an eye on Huan Qi while sending Yan Dan into Qin, wanting to ask how to deal with Huan Qi in person.
Now is the time to employ people, of course Ying Zheng hopes that Huan Qi can return to Qin State, but since this Huan Qi has escaped from Zhao State, why did he choose to stay in Yan State instead of returning to Qin State?
A trace of doubt made Ying Zheng have some scruples in his heart, and immediately decided to let Feng Quji personally go to Yan Kingdom to find out what the hell this Huan Qi was doing, and at the same time to see if he could inquire about the whereabouts of Feng Zheng and Xiong Qi, you must know that the two of them are still unknown about their lives and deaths.
However, what Ying Zheng didn't expect was that before Feng could send a letter to Guguan, Wei also sent an envoy, and there was also a person accompanying him, who was Xiong Qi, whose whereabouts were unknown.
The news of the two generals in a row finally made Yingzheng's face a little happy.
"Is there any news from the front? Did the 38th Army arrive in Longxi, is there any whereabouts of Chang'anjun? ”
Four days after leaving Xianyang, the farther west and closer to Longxi, the more uneasy Li Ling's heart became, as if there was something he hadn't considered.
"There is no news yet, the time is calculated that the 38th Army should be about to enter the Longxi territory at this moment, but to get to the place of the accident, I'm afraid it will take a few days, this road is really too difficult to walk."
Zhang Han's 29th Army was not an elite in the first place, and nearly two-thirds of the men and horses were new recruits, and the marching speed of the troops was very slow.
"What about Meng Tian, does he have any news?"
"The 54th Army came with news this morning, the road is not easy to walk, and the speed of his troops is also very slow, he said that it may take five days to reach the boundary of Longxi."
"Five more days? Did his troops crawl and walk? ”
The 38th Army and the 54th Army left Xianyang one after the other, less than 10 hours apart, and when he heard that the 54th Army would have five more days, Li Ling was so angry that he died.
"Boss, this 38th Army is already traveling lightly, and it is normal to go faster. You have also seen this road to Longxi, it is too difficult to walk, and it is a miracle that the 54th Army can go so fast. ”
"Alright, I got it."
In fact, if you think about it carefully, the speed of the 54th Army is not slow, and it can even be said that it is already very fast.
At the beginning, Huang Xie led the Six Kingdoms to attack Qin, and Zhao Xin, who was the county guard of Longxi at the time, and his so-called elite and cavalry of Longxi all walked for more than ten days before arriving in Xianyang from Longxi.
......
"Good news, great news, great news, Your Majesty!"
"What happened to make General Xiang so happy, tell me quickly and let the widow hear."
In the palace of the King of Chu, Xiang Yan almost rushed to the front of the King of Chu.
"I just got the news from the intermediate, the Huns, the Huns have surrounded the Chang'an Jun of the Qin State!"
"Chang'an-kun?"
Hearing that it was the Huns and Chang'anjun again, the King of Chu was stunned and didn't know what was going on at all.
"Ying Cheng Chan, the younger brother of King Qin."
"Really?"
The king of Chu came to his senses in an instant, but he didn't expect that the Huns would be able to surround Yingzheng's younger brother.
"Absolutely."
"Is there any movement from King Qin?"
"The State of Qin is now recruiting troops and conscripting grain, and the King of Qin has sent Li Ling, the king of Wu'an, to personally lead the troops to Longxi, I heard that it is not only Li Ling, but the Qin army was originally stationed in Hangu Pass, and nearly 100,000 people went to Longxi in just three days! Moreover, it seems that the Qin State is going to do its best to help Longxi, and if it takes some time, maybe the Qin State will be completely empty! ”
The more Xiang Yan thought about it, the more excited he felt, he had always regarded the Qin army as his biggest enemy, and he was thinking all day long about how to defeat the Qin army and make the Chu State the strongest in the world.
But he never dreamed that the opportunity to defeat the Qin State would appear so suddenly, and in such a dramatic way!
