Chapter 98: The Candidate Who Bears the Blame
early morning
"Ahh
In the local army camp, the eunuch of the prison army yawned and opened his eyes sleepily.
It's all because the atmosphere was tense last night, and I didn't fall asleep until midnight.
Early in the morning, there was a noise of sergeant movements from time to time, and as a result, he was woken up before he could rest well.
I can't help but be secretly annoyed, I just hope to return to the palace as soon as possible to be rewarded!
"My lord, the water is coming."
A soldier walked in with a copper basin filled with water and placed it gently on the table.
The eunuch of the prison army wiped his face and asked curiously, "How is the battle situation ahead?" Have those rebels in Shangjun been killed? ”
The soldier hurriedly and respectfully reported: "Lord Qiqi, after the rebels put up a formation of 50,000 troops last night, I don't know why they suddenly withdrew to the camp again!" ”
"Withdrawn?"
The eunuch of the prison army turned his head suddenly, and his neck made a crisp clicking sound due to the excessive movement.
The armor soldier on the side was so frightened that his pupils contracted for a while, for fear that this overseer accidentally broke his neck, and then he couldn't speak clearly!
Hurriedly said: "Yes, they all withdrew last night, as if they had given up the attack!" ”
"Great!" The eunuch of the prison army was excited in his eyes, but cold sweat broke out on his face.
The opposite side withdrew the troops back to the camp, and there was no need to fight this battle!
Later, a good news was sent back to Xianyang, and under his own command, he arranged troops to scare off the enemy, which was another great achievement!
Anyway, the commander has already been slaughtered, and the 200,000 troops are up to him, and the battle report is also written by himself.
When the time comes, Lord Zhao will come forward to make light efforts, and maybe he can be knighted!
However, the eunuchs of the prison army were also panicked.
After listening to General Pi's analysis of the combat strength of the two armies at yesterday's meeting, he clearly understood the gap between the two sides.
When Bai Hai was the commander before, he was so happy, blindly belittled the enemy as a ragtag army on the frontier, and his own 200,000 local troops were the trump card.
There were too many lies, and in the end he even believed himself, not to mention the eunuch who went to the battlefield for the first time, after listening to a few exaggerated remarks, he really thought that the other side was vulnerable.
In order to make meritorious service as soon as possible, he even suggested that Bai Hai take the initiative to exterminate the rebels and make immortal contributions to Great Qin.
It's just that this suggestion was rejected by Yizheng on the grounds that he could only stick to it.
Now that I think about it, Bai Hai's hype of the local army is very likely to be an excuse for sneaking to the rear to enjoy himself!
The eunuch of the prison army thought of the assembly of the army on the opposite side last night, and now his liver is still pounding!
After thinking for a while, he asked, "Where is the adjutant general?" ”
The sergeant hurriedly said, "Several generals are discussing in the camp. ”
"Dare to avoid this prison army and secretly discuss things!" The eunuch scolded sharply, and said angrily: "Immediately bring this prison army over!" ”
"No!"
The soldier hurriedly received the order, and secretly complained in his heart: "I slept like a pig, and I complained about not notifying him, who is this!" ”
complained in his heart, but the armor still led the eunuch straight towards the big tent.
Inside the account, several generals were discussing with doubts on their faces.
Suddenly, I saw the curtain open, and hurriedly saluted respectfully: "Lord Overseer." ”
The boss was killed, and he is currently the largest supervisor sent by the imperial court!
The eunuch of the supervising army bowed slightly, walked up with a calm face, and said: "Why the rebels suddenly withdrew to the camp, let's talk about it!" ”
Suddenly, a group of generals below all hung their heads.
Just after discussion, no conclusions have been drawn.
After all, the actions of the Shangjun border army are too strange, and a series of operations are confusing.
Some people also suspected that it was a plan of suspicious soldiers, but according to the detailed report, Meng Tian still led 200,000 troops to guard the frontier and did not dispatch.
This move was really only an army of 100,000 led by Wang Li.
Xianyang is currently guarded by 20,000 elite soldiers of the Beijing Division, and it takes at least 50,000 people to capture Xianyang.
And it is impossible for such a large army to quietly bypass the defensive line.
According to the report, the soldiers who stayed behind the defense line last night did not notice anything unusual, let alone the army of Shangjun taking advantage of the situation.
Weird, everything is weird.
The eunuch of the prison army had a gloomy face, and said angrily: "The rebels are not attacking and retreating, do you want this prison army to report to the court like this?!" ”
Suddenly, the generals below were silent one by one, and they didn't even dare to come out.
I was afraid that the breathing would be a little louder, and I would be pulled out and questioned by this unfamiliar military supervisor.
"A bunch of useless things!" The deputy general also frowned, this time the coach was killed, as a deputy, he was more or less inseparable, and there was naturally anger in his voice.
General Pi glanced up, gritted his teeth, and said cautiously: "The rebels wanted to raid, but the two adults saw through the trick and scared the rebels back after arranging the troops!" ”
"Good! You can say that again! ”
The eunuch of the prison army praised in a shrill voice, and his face turned red with excitement.
If it is reported like this, and then it is a little polished, wouldn't it be like turning the tide and scaring away the rebels when there is no commander in the army!
Of course, some credit still has to be given to the adjutant general.
The two glanced at each other, and their faces showed a tacit smile.
As for the fault, naturally all of them are blamed on Bai Hai, who has already been killed, anyway, there is no proof of death!
A tense meeting ended in a pleasant atmosphere.
……
On a hill, several riders sat on horseback and marveled at the magnificent Xianyang in the distance.
These people are the generals of the Flying Cavalry.
After galloping overnight, he quietly bypassed the local military defense line sentry and avoided the 200,000 army that appeared outside Xianyang City like a god soldier from heaven!
Although Shangjun is very large, how can it be compared to Jingshi in terms of luxury.
"Xianyang ......!"
Yan Qi sat on the war horse, and his eyes narrowed with emotion.
A few years ago, he also entered Xianyang with the army, but at that time it was only two or five hundred lords.
Unexpectedly, when I came to Xianyang again today, I had changed from a guard to an attacker.
However, in everyone's hearts, the eldest son Fusu is the orthodox heir of Great Qin, although this time it is an attack on Xianyang, but there is no idea of rebellion in his heart, it is just an internal dispute.
If the name is not right, it is not good, and this is the truth.
The eldest son of His Majesty the First Emperor represents orthodoxy!
Hu Hai and Zhao Gao are just thieves who steal the country.
Through the propaganda of the newspaper, this concept has spread all over the country, which makes Li Si shudder, and regrets underestimating the power of the newspaper even more!
Even Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, who claimed the king according to the trajectory, also played the banner of Fusu when he got into trouble!
But now that Fusu is still alive, I don't know if they still have the courage to pull the tiger skin to make a banner!
Yan Qi suppressed the emotion in his heart, took a deep breath, and commanded in a deep voice:
"Order, Flying Cavalry, attack!"
