Yangchun City.

At dusk, the afterglow of the setting sun spreads like a blanket on the earth.

Guo Jikang, Gongsun Ang led the army to triumph.

At this time, the iron horsemen who entered the city with Ji Xuanling shuttled through the streets on horseback to take over the city defense and maintain order in the city.

Arriving outside the City Lord's Mansion, Gongsun Ang felt guilty and was afraid of Ji Xuanling's prestige, so he didn't dare to enter the mansion to meet him.

The deputy general was sent to lead the army back to the camp to recuperate, and he knelt alone outside the palace to plead guilty.

The Western Route Army was defeated, tens of thousands of elites were killed in battle, and his crime as a commander was unforgivable.

According to the Qin army's law, the culpability should be beheaded.

If his death can be exchanged for the lives of the soldiers who died on the battlefield, Gongsun Ang would rather suffer Ling Chi's crimes.

The Lord's Mansion, in the living room.

Ji Xuanling, Jia asked, and Xu Wenda were learning about the situation in Gaotang Prefecture, as well as the whereabouts of Ruan Xinghe and Yu Changxiong.

Xu Hu, who marched with them and monitored the Qin army, sat upright and silent.

Guo Jikang returned to the City Lord's Mansion, and after meeting Ji Xuanling, he reported to him the results of Yangchun City and the situation of Gongsun Ang.

Almost without hesitation, Guo Jikang expressed his opinion on the situation in Gaotang Prefecture: "Your Majesty, the situation in Gaotang Prefecture is complicated, and the enemy and us are fighting to win or lose, and the last general suggested that we need to send troops quickly to hunt down Zhao Rui, Zhang Tang, and Kong Sheng, and not give Zhao Rui time to assemble the Tiger Army."

Otherwise, if the various tiger armies were assembled, and Zhao Rui and the others came to their senses, the situation of the Qin army might have become very bad.

Moreover, our army has won a victory, and can occupy Gaotang Prefecture and Jiangzhou with a thunderous momentum, and have the opportunity to use troops against Dakang. ”

"Whew!"

Knowing that the Western Route Army lost its troops and lost generals, Yu Changxiong died in battle, and Ruan Xinghe's life and death were uncertain, Ji Xuanling didn't say anything, but he was extremely angry in his heart.

Yu Changxiong is the tiger general of the Qin army, although he has not been surrendered to the Qin State for a long time, he is extremely fierce when he uses troops against Zhao Tuo and Zhao Xing.

Ruan Xinghe was even more of a general in his lineage, helping him eradicate the Qin ministers and supporting him in power. When the Qin State expanded westward, Ruan Xinghe cooperated with Gongsun Ang to capture Yinzhou, which can be described as a great achievement.

What's more, Ruan Xinghe is Ruan Chengcheng's younger brother, and he is still a relative of the emperor.

One of them died in battle, and the other disappeared.

The elite of the Qin army who followed them also faced a life-and-death crisis, and if they were all lost, the Qin army would lose a lot of money in Gaotang Prefecture and Jiangzhou!

When he hesitated, Ji Xuanling said with a cold expression: "Where is Gongsun Ang, let him come in." ”

Hearing this, whether Guo Jikang or Jia next to him asked, Xu Wenda felt the thick anger on Ji Xuanling's body.

They deeply regretted Yu Changxiong's death.

However, the deceased has passed away, and they are more worried about the situation of Gongsun Aung and the safety of Ruan Xinghe.

Afraid of Ji Xuanling's anger, he killed Gongsun Ang to comfort the three armies when he was exposed.

However, Jia asked, Xu Wenda, and Guo Jikang did not go up to persuade them. Ji Xuanling was angry, if he didn't let him vent his anger, but went up directly to persuade him, according to their understanding of Ji Xuanling, it would probably backfire.

It is likely that regardless of the consequences, he killed Gongsun Ang.

Guo Jikang motioned for his soldiers to leave the house and brought Gongsun Ang in.

"General Gongsun, the king has recruited you into the palace!" The soldiers went out of the house, and Sun Ang of Xuangong entered.

Hearing this, Gongsun Ang quickly got up, straightened his armor, and bowed down into the house.

Walking into the City Lord's Mansion, Gongsun Ang saw Ji Xuanling in the living room, knelt on the ground with a plop, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the last general is guilty of betraying the trust of the king, resulting in General Yu being killed, and the elite led by him to die on the battlefield." General Nguyen has not heard from him, and his situation is confusing.

The last general is willing to bear any consequences, and asks the king to execute the last general to apologize. ”

He didn't dare to expect Ji Xuanling to forgive him, be punished early, and eliminate his guilt as soon as possible.

Ji Xuanling was furious, glared at Gongsun Ang, and forcibly asked: "Gongsun Ang, you are also a veteran in the army, what is the situation in Gaotang Prefecture?" was attacked by Zhao Rui, so that the Qin army was forced to hide in three places, and almost annihilated Zhao Rui.

The prestige that the Qin army has built up over the years has almost ruined you. ”

Ji Xuanling couldn't wait for Gongsun Ang to vent his hatred, but Gongsun Ang was a rare general in the Qin army who had both civil and military skills. Regardless of his military exploits, the capture of Yinzhou during the westward expedition alone laid the foundation for Qin's westward expansion.

Gongsun Ang's military exploits are still not comparable to those of generals.

Killing Gongsun Ang recklessly will inevitably shake the morale of the army. On the eve of the war, the Qin State also lost a brave general.

If you don't kill Gongsun Ang, the Western Route Army lost tens of thousands of elites in vain, and Yu Changxiong died on the battlefield, unable to soothe his anger, and unable to explain like the Qin army who died on the battlefield.

Gongsun Ang felt the anger from Ji Xuanling, and instantly was sincerely afraid, as if he had a few treasures, and told Ji Xuanling all about what happened in Gaotang Prefecture.

Kneel on the ground, silent, waiting for the end.

Jia asked, Xu Wenda, Guo Jikang, Xu Hu and other generals immediately knew what happened to the Qin army in Gaotang Prefecture.

The generals of the Qin army, the staff were sad and surprised by Zhao Chen, Zhao Rui's determination to protect Jiangzhou and Gaotang Prefecture.

At this time, Xu Hu's face did not change and he was silent, but he was secretly calculating.

The elite of 100,000 Qin troops entered Gaotang Prefecture like a wolf and a tiger, and was ambushed by Zhao Rui and suffered a crushing defeat.

Zhao Rui is unknown, and he can still inflict heavy losses on the fierce generals of the Qin army, and he Xu Hu and Liang Ji are both fierce generals, is it not as good as Zhao Rui?

The skillful deployment of the three armies will definitely be able to attack and kill the Qin army, which shows that the Qin army is not an unshakable elite soldier.

However, Jia asked, Xu Wenda, Guo Jikang and other generals were all thinking about how to fight back against Zhao Rui, and no one paid attention to Xu Hu, so no one noticed the change in Xu Hu's expression.

In silence, Jia Wenwen stepped forward and interceded for Gongsun Ang.

"Wang, the Western Route Army was attacked and suffered a crushing defeat, no wonder General Gongsun, it was Weichen and others who underestimated Dakang's determination to protect Gaotang Prefecture and Jiangzhou when they deployed, and despised Zhao Rui. Otherwise, Zhao Rui would not have a chance to hide his edge and sneak attack the Western Route Army.

Wechen believed that no matter who commanded the Western Route Army, it would be too late to make changes if they suffered this catastrophe. ”

"Yes, it is not easy for General Gongsun to keep a few elites and fight with the grain, grass and ordnance." Xu asked, agreeing.

After all, before the three-way army set off from Shendu, the staff of the Qin State almost unanimously believed that the northern part of Dakang was attacked by the combined forces of Qi, Chuyan, Zhao, Wei, and Han, and Zhao Chen had to concentrate his attention on the north.

No matter how dangerous the situation in Jiangzhou and Gaotang Prefecture is, it is impossible for Zhao Chen to send troops to help, and there is no extra army to help.

However, they underestimated Zhao Chen's courage to take risks, and overestimated the combat ability of the combined forces of Qi, Chuyan, Zhao, Wei and Han, which caused Gongsun Ang to be defenseless and was caught off guard.

To put it mildly, Gongsun Ang led his army to the west and was attacked. Even if Ji Xuanling fought on behalf of Gongsun Ang, when he despised Dakang and Zhao Chen's determination to send troops, he still let the tiger army ambushed by Zhao Rui and face the end of defeat.
