Chapter 43: Hu Hai Patrols!
"Your Majesty, Xiang Yu's army has passed through Shaanxi County and is approaching Hangu Pass!"
Hu Hai pondered for a moment: "Immediately summon the Marquis of Tongwu to come and discuss the troops, and send scouts to strictly inspect the key places at each pass." β
"Yes."
β¦β¦
After a while, Wang Ben, the Marquis of Tongwu, hurriedly came in, looked at Hu Hai, and said, "The minister greets Your Majesty!" β
"Tongwu Hou, Xiang Yu's army has passed through Shaanxi County, and will soon point to Hangu Pass, what do you think about this?"
Wang Ben was silent and thoughtful, and gave Hu Hai only one word: "Fight!" β
Hu Hai was silent for a long time: "The battle of Hangu Pass, I will be handed over to the Marquis of Tongwu, I hope that after the war, I will still be the second emperor of the Great Qin Empire." β
Wang Ben was stunned for a while, and generously surrendered his hand: "The minister thinks that Your Majesty will lead the army, Wang Ben will fight, and the ambition of the court will be at ease." β
Hu Hai shook his head and waved his big hand: "I will give you the weight of grain and grass to boost morale, you just let go and fight, this is not the time to be polite." β
Speaking of this, Hu Hai bowed solemnly: "When the general is ordered to be in danger, it is the Great Wall of Daqin, please accept my worship." β
Wang Ben was terrified, and hurriedly stood up and bowed back: "Old Qin, go to the national disaster together, Your Majesty can trust Wang Ben, Wang Ben will go to the soup and die." β
"Tongwu Hou, what do you want for this battle, as long as you can, I will meet you!"
"For generals, only ask for military talismans!" Wang Ben is very concise.
Hu Hai took the case angrily, looked at Wang Ben word by word, and said: "The soldiers are pressing the border, the Great Qin is surviving, this war is extraordinary." β
"I have decided that whoever shows the majesty of the general will be given to the Marquis of Tongwu!"
With great joy in his heart, Wang Ben's face remained unchanged, and he arched his hand towards Hu Hai and said: "Your Majesty, you will be majestic, and if you are talented, you will be self-reliant. β
"This is Wang Ben's heartfelt words, please Your Majesty Mingjian!"
β¦β¦
In the early morning, when the sun climbed the foothills of the eastern mountains, the whole royal family relied on the grand entrance of the palace gate, and walked slowly on the long bluestone street that was neither wide nor narrow, and walked straight for half an hour.
Hangu Pass is empty of thousands of people, from the palace to the Qin army camp, all the way unimpeded.
Thousands of people silently looked at the young emperor on the bronze chariot and Yingheng on the tall horse, without a trace of cheers.
Relying on the walk, the people on both sides followed forward, as if they were sending each other off, and as if they were nervous, waiting for the emperor's car to walk outside the Qin army camp.
It was already a sea of people, Hu Hai looked at the vast sea of people, his eyes were hazy with tears for a while, and suddenly he stood up from under the umbrella cover of the car.
Bow your hand to the people of Siye for a week!
"Poof!"
When the sky was unsheathed, Hu Hai pointed at the sky, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Fathers and elders of the country, Great Qin is invincible!" β
Suddenly, the people shouted like a tsunami: "Great Qin is invincible-" "Long live Great Qin-" "Long live Your Majesty!" β
β¦β¦
In the afternoon, the vast Qin army camp was busy and tense, without the sound of drills, horns, drums, shouts and killing, and the armored war horses were already fully equipped.
At this moment, the soldiers of the Qin army were neatly arranged in the school military field, and the knights were checking their long swords, bows and arrows under the horses.
The thick smoke of the cooking stove drifted in the wind, and the aroma of mutton stew in a cauldron filled the entire barracks.
At this time, Hu Hai's carriage arrived at the camp gate, Ying Heng smiled, and said: "The Marquis of Tongwu is so neat, he is ready to send troops." β
Hu Hai jumped down from the bronze chariot and said, "The honor guard stayed at the camp gate, and I and Ziheng rode into the camp. β
"Yes."
β¦β¦
When Hu Hai and his entourage arrived outside the camp, they saw the chariots rumbling in the barracks, and Wang Ben had already led 36 commanders and 13 patrol carts out of the camp gate.
"Your Majesty!"
Hu Hai's eyes flashed with excitement, and he waved his hand: "Tongwu Hou doesn't need to be polite, please get up quickly!" β
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Seeing the salute, Wang Ben said: "Your Majesty: A patrol military vehicle can carry three people, please Your Majesty and General Ying board the car and enter the camp together." β
Hu Hai was upright and said, "Okay! Entering the barracks is the supremacy of military law. β
β¦β¦
Seeing everyone boarding the car, Wang Ben waved his hand to the accompanying commander: "Everyone drives and goes straight to the shogunate." β
"Yes."
Thirty-six commanders agreed, and each flew and jumped into a military vehicle, led by Wang Ben and Hu Hai, and thirteen chariots roared out and went straight to the Chinese army camp.
Under the leadership of Wang Ben, Wang Ben and the others bowed their hands neatly, and said loudly: "See Your Majesty!" β
Hu Hai is extremely practiced, in front of the long case in the middle, he held his hand with a false hand, smiled easily, and said: "All the generals are seated, Tongwu waits, you still come to the handsome seat!" β
"Yes."
β¦β¦
Wang Ben agreed, strode to the front of the handsome case, turned around and ordered loudly: "All the generals are seated!" β
"Yes!"
The thirty-six commanders agreed, and immediately sat down on the two rows of generals, and there was no slight sound of even the blades of the iron armor.
"Everyone will sign up!" Wang Ben deliberately added a procedure in order to teach Hu Hai and Yingheng to know the generals.
"The deputy general of the Chinese army, Mi He!"
"Former army commander Che Heng!"
"Wei Yue, the commander of the rear army!"
"The commander of the infantry army will be blind!"
"The master of the bow and crossbow battalion will guard a hundred miles!"
"Scout Camp Leader Hu Ge!"
"Cavalry Commander Lin Feng!"
β¦β¦
After the thirty-six commanders finished reporting, Wang Ben ordered in a loud voice: "Take a seat and listen to Your Majesty's instructions!" β
The generals sat down again, extremely neat and neat, Hu Hai pressed his hand on his waist on the heavenly question that everyone knew by the generals, his expression was solemn, and he said.
"I came to the camp in person, firstly, to meet the generals who fought for the country, and secondly, to grant the right of the general of the army of the Marquis of Tongwu. This battle was an unprecedented battle since the founding of the Great Qin. β
"The fate of the country, where the survival is, the generals have been on the battlefield for a long time, bloody battles, must be under the command of General Wang Ben, defeat the Kwantung thieves, and win the battle!"
The tent was raised in unison, and the voice was categorical, and said: "Defeat the Kwantung thieves!" Fight and win! β
Hu Hai's eyes flashed with a touch of solemnity, waved his hand, and said, "Ziheng Xuanshu." β
Ying Heng picked up a roll of bamboo slips and read it aloud: "The fourth year of the second emperor of the Great Qin Empire: Wang Ben, Marquis of Tongwu, was ordered to lead the army to fight the Kwantung thieves. β
"I hereby grant Wang Ben the left half of the Dragon Fu Tiger Fu, and I have to transfer the garrison of Guguan, and I am also authorized to ask Wang Ben Tianwen to go out on my behalf. The second emperor Hu Hai four years of summer month. β
After Yingheng finished reading, the tent was silent. Needless to say, the Dragon Fu and the Tiger Fu are the power that all commanders must haveβthey can mobilize the regular army in all fortress passes to meet the enemy.
But this Tianwen Sword, as the first emperor's sword, has a respected status and has never been awarded to anyone. Even if Wang Ben asked the sky the last time, it was just forcibly borrowed.
And it was not awarded by Hu Hai!
