Chapter 65: A Time of Unprecedented Peril!
"Dare!"
Zhang Cang was categorical, and there was no fear in his words. Just like the old oath of the Qin people, they will go to the national disaster together.
As an old Qin man, he died for the Great Qin and served the Qin Emperor, which was the duty of a minister, although he did not regret it.
"Please Your Majesty to conspire, and the minister will never give up!" Zhang Cang let out a long sigh and stopped talking.
The corners of Hu Hai's mouth overflowed with a teasing smile: "The battle of Hangu Pass is still over, and Qin Zhong is temporarily stable." Originally, I decided that you should be the general of Hangu Pass, but Tongwu Hou was stationed here. β
"There are no two commanders in the army, in order not to have a constrained situation, Aiqing and I quickly went to Xianyang, and Zuo and other ministers thought about the next countermeasures."
"Yes!"
β¦β¦
"Tongwu Hou, Hangu Guan Zhen will be handed over to you!" Hu Hai came to the Qin Army Shogunate, smiled slightly, and said.
"Your Majesty, what is this going to ......?" Wang Ben was suddenly stunned, and instantly understood.
"I want to go back to Xianyang and discuss the next countermeasures of Great Qin with the civil and military ministers, and I can't stay in Hangu Pass for a long time!"
Wang Ben was silent for a long time, and sighed: "Your Majesty has a safe journey, and the ministers will keep the letter to Guguan, which is as solid as gold." As long as the minister does not die, it is impossible for the rebel army to step into Guanzhong for half a step. β
β¦β¦
In the middle of the day, Hu Hai led the Iron Eagle Warriors from Hangu Pass into the pass.
Hu Hai did not take a shortcut back to Xianyang from Shangjun, but went south along the river, and then detoured to Kunshan Mountain, out of Taolin Heights and into Xianyang.
This was done in order to supervise the passes, fortresses, and defense and civil governance in this land of the Great Qin Empire's barriers.
Just a look at it, it's really scary. The Great Qin Empire, which used to rule the Ming Dynasty and was civil and military, has collapsed to such an appearance.
In the pass fortress, there are very few defense soldiers, most of whom are old, weak, sick and disabled. The defense of the people is even more chaotic and chaotic.
The old Qin people in various places have vegetables on their faces, and the strong men are scarce, and most of them are old women, women and children.
The soldiers marched to Liyang, and the Huhai army was welcomed by the people of Liyang, and men, women, and children brought food and wine to send the army out of ten miles away.
Because Hu Hai did not raise the banner, the people of Liyang only thought that the soldiers of the Qin army had returned to Xianyang. This enthusiasm comes from the centuries of Great Qin.
The old Qin people have followed the Ying family from beginning to end!
Thinking of this, Hu Hai couldn't help but think of the scene of the people seeing off outside Liyang City, and he couldn't help but be moved. The old Qin people are loyal and patriotic, hardworking and simple, which is really the blessing of the Ying family.
"Ziheng, you will lead the Iron Eagle Ruishi to enter through the main gate, and I and Zhang Cang will enter the north gate."
Xianyang was in sight, and Hu Hai handed over the escort army to Yingheng. The situation in Xianyang City is unknown, and he does not dare to be careless, so he can only take one light and one dark.
"Yes!"
β¦β¦
Approaching Xianyang, Hu Hai handed over the guards to Ying Heng, changed into civilian clothes and took Zhang Cang, and quietly entered the city from the north gate of Xianyang.
"The old minister greets Your Majesty!" Just after walking close to the Xianyang Imperial City, Han Tan hurriedly greeted him from the city gate.
Hu Hai turned over and dismounted, and helped Han Tan up: "The CRRC government order is up quickly, immediately summon the left prime minister and the big and small nobles, and immediately enter the Xianyang Palace Square." β
"Yes!" Han Tan knew the reason for Hu Hai's sudden arrival, and he didn't dare to slack off.
β¦β¦
"Minister, meet Your Majesty!" After a while, the left phase of the child, the general Yanhe hurriedly came.
"Are you ready?" Hu Hai's eyes were like torches, there were flames under his eyes, and there was a trace of excitement in the depression and dormancy.
The two laughed for a while, and Ziying: "Your Majesty, after receiving the edict, General Yan led 40,000 troops into Xianyang, and everything is ready." β
"As for Bashu, it is guarded by Ziling, and 50,000 new troops are being trained in Hanzhong!"
Hu Hai's eyes flashed with joy, and he took Ziying's hand: "Zuo Xiang, get in the car, today's Qin army has a big victory, be congratulated, to boost the hearts of the army and the people." β
couldn't help but say that he helped Ziying onto the bronze car, Hu Hai: "Zhang Cang and Yanhe took one behind." β
"Yes!"
After that, Hu Hai took the Zhenqin sword handed over by Yan He and tied it around his waist. He personally sat in the driver's position, shook the reins of the horse, and drove to the front of Xianyang Palace.
Zhang Cang and Yanhe jumped into the second car and drove closely behind.
β¦β¦
The magnificent Xianyang Palace Square is already crowded with people. The 40,000 Qin troops who arrived first had already formed two phalanxes in the center of the square.
The avenue paved with red felt in the middle leads to the majestic hall above the twenty-seven steps. Seeing the two cars coming, the square resounded with earth-shaking cheers.
"Long live Your Majesty, long live Great Qin!"
Hu Hai drove to a stop at the foot of the white jade steps, got out of the car with Ziying, and strode onto the platform of the main hall.
At this moment, Hu Hai felt a lot in his heart. This time, although the Qin army had victories, it also suffered heavy losses, and it should not have been fanfare.
Hu Hai knew better that the Great Qin Empire at this moment was in danger of complete collapse. At this time when everyone is in danger and the civil and military are withering.
No kind of policy, any kind of change, is less important than a hearty victory.
Today's ceremony with great fanfare, Hu Hai just wants to use this to tell the people of the world and the old Qin people in Guanzhong. The Great Qin royal family was able to shelter the old Qin people.
The elite of Great Qin is still able to fight, and still dares to fight. The Great Qin Iron Cavalry can fight, and the battle will be won!
Under the two bronze tripods that are more than a foot high, all the ministers of the Great Qin Empire, although they are all white-haired and descendants, still salute together.
"See Your Majesty!"
At this time, Hu Hai walked to the high platform in the center and nodded slightly to the white-haired celebrant minister.
"Great Qin Empire, celebrate the victory of Yaoguan, the victory of Hanguguan, begin!"
"Woo, woo, wooββ!"
"Knock, knock, knockββ!"
Suddenly, the entire Xianyang Square roared. It's not the music of the silk and bamboo orchestra, but the heavy roaring war drums and horns and the yellow bell Dalu.
Grandiose and low, magnificent and exciting! From then on, the Great Qin Empire did not want to be in the Qin wind, leaving only no clothes.
"Your Majesty's Book Number, Subjects of Heaven and Earthβ"
Hu Hai unfolded a roll of bamboo slips, and his thick voice echoed in the square: "Hao Hao ascends to the sky, the underworld, the subjects of the Great Qin Empire, and the father and emperor suddenly died in the sand dunes." β
"Since I succeeded to the throne, I have not practiced virtue and have been killing people in a big way. First, there was a traitor Zhao Gao who bullied the upper and lower levels, killed the clan and the meritorious general, the towering Great Qin, and the mountains and tombs will collapse! β
"First there was a common man Chen Sheng, and then the remnants of the six countries rose up, and the Great Qin and the Kanto were lost! Fortunately, my father entrusted me with a dream, and when I was in danger, I killed the power traitor Zhao Gao. β
"Worship the king's uncle and son, guard Xianyang, go down to the pass, and block the enemy outside the pass. At a time of crisis, there was a small chaos, Shaofu Zhang Han led the army to surrender, and the Great Qin Empire was in danger. β
"The pillar of the empire, the Marquis of Tongwu, Wang Ben, led the 100,000 Jiuyuan army to come back, and the rebellious ministers and thieves fought nine battles outside Hangu Pass, and severely damaged the thief army."
"The fall of the Kanto region and the non-existence of the Manchu Dynasty are the times of crisis that I have never had in the hundred years of Great Qin!"
