Chapter 220: Forced Brakes (First Shift)
Originally, Xianyang sent a letter, and Yinggao was still very happy, because on the day when he killed Xiang Liang and smashed the anti-Qin alliance, Yinggao sent a fast horse and returned to Xianyang City directly with his good news.
He knew that because his expedition was a bit far away, if the news could not be transmitted back in time, it was estimated that the little hearts of the Great Qin officials in Xianyang City were about to jump out. Now that the two biggest anti-Qin forces have been almost resolved, of course he has to report back as soon as possible to reassure the people at home.
And after receiving the reply so quickly, Yinggao originally thought that it was the first emperor's praise for himself, but when he personally took the letter from the dusty rider and quickly opened it, Yinggao's face instantly changed from the original clear sky to dark clouds.
It turned out that this letter from Xianyang was not written by the First Emperor, and the person who wrote it was a person from his own family, Feng Quji.
It stands to reason that this Feng Qujian sent a letter on behalf of the First Emperor, which can be regarded as excusable, after all, this can show Ying Gao that his wife's grandfather has now replaced Li Si as the first prime minister of Great Qin.
But what really made Yinggao feel that the situation was not good was the content of the letter.
In Feng Quji's letter, there were only two short sentences: The war ahead has been fully known, and all the important matters in the DPRK and China, all the officials are waiting for the prince to return to the court.
In these two short sentences, the depressed feelings expressed are almost rushing towards Yinggao.
After such a big victory, all he got was a sentence that the battle ahead was known, so the important things in the court must be bigger than his victory, and much bigger, at least in the hearts of Feng Quji and the Manchu Dynasty.
And the hundred officials were waiting for Yinggao to return to Xianyang at this time, which was obviously Feng Quji telling Yinggao from one side that although something terrible had happened in Xianyang City, the hundred officials were still on Yinggao's side.
Even so, Yinggao still guessed at once that this matter was definitely not a good thing, he was a bad thing, and a huge bad thing.
Isn't it......
After reading the words in this letter several times, a picture suddenly flashed in Yinggao's head, and this picture became clearer and clearer in his head.
While thinking about it, Ying Gao threw the letter directly into the fire in front of him, and now among the people in Chen County, except for himself, no one saw the contents of the letter, including Zhang Han.
On the day he received this letter, Yinggao summoned all the generals to the county temple in Chen County, except for the official announcement that Wang Li would stay in Shouchun, the rest of the decisions were to make a group of monks who were all Zhanger puzzled, because these decisions would be too unsonable if they were to use the words of more than 2,000 years later.
Knowing that although the remaining anti-Qin forces in the north did not dare to make any moves, but there were still a lot of them, Yinggao only let Han Xin and Sima Xin take 50,000 horses all the way north from Surabaya County to exterminate them, while himself, Zhang Han, and Chen Ying took other soldiers to return to Xianyang directly through Yingchuan, Sanchuan, and Hangu Pass.
Originally, just a Chen Sheng, it was completely possible to use him to go out in person, Yinggao was still quite positive, and now although Xiang Liang has just been killed, but the ability of the remaining anti-Qin forces in the land of the Three Jin Dynasty is still not to be underestimated, Yinggao actually didn't care, and brought Zhang Han back to Xianyang, this is really not his style.
"Why did Gongzi only send Han Xin and Sima Xin to the north, if the two really encountered a strong enemy, or the anti-Qin forces of the Three Jin Dynasty united together as in Xue County, a mere 50,000 horses will definitely suffer heavy losses, it is better for Gongzi to lead 30,000 horses back to Xianyang, I will lead the rest of the men and horses and the two generals to go in two ways, and within three months, all the anti-Qin forces in the land of the Three Jin Dynasty can be wiped out, I don't know what Gongzi thinks?"
Zhang Han didn't understand why Yinggao suddenly wanted to go back to Xianyang, and you are the prince, if Xianyang needs you, you will be over, why do you have to bring back a general like me who is fighting outside?
In Zhang Han's heart, Xianyang City was very safe for Yinggao, so it was a naked waste of resources to go back with an army of seventy or eighty thousand, and it made it a lot more difficult for Han Xin and Sima Xin.
"The general has to return to Xianyang with me this time, after I go back, the general naturally has important matters to solve, as for going north, I don't know what difficulties the two generals have?"
"No difficulty!"
Yinggao's words just came out, and before Han Xin could do anything, Sima Xin came first, he now believes in Yinggao, but all the tasks assigned to him by Yinggao will definitely be able to make meritorious contributions in his heart, not to mention that there is a Han Xin next to him who is almost as good as Yinggao's head.
Listening to Sima Xin's assurance, Han Xin shook his head slightly, but he didn't ask any questions, from the moment he arrived in this county temple today, Han Xin has been observing Yinggao, although Yinggao doesn't look like any difference from before, but Han Xin, who was mixed in the crowd when he was young, has cultivated a good ability to observe words and looks.
At a glance, he knew that there must be something wrong with today's Yinggao, and it was not a trivial matter. Sure enough, as soon as Ying Gao opened his mouth, he directly skipped the high probability event that they had guessed would happen.
Han Xinxin's first reaction was that he was afraid that something had happened in Xianyang City that made Yinggao have to go back, although he didn't think about it and didn't come up with anything, but what he could be sure of was that he had to accept the task that Yinggao assigned to him and Sima Xin today.
"There is no difficulty in faith."
"Good! Then I'll wait for tonight to get ready to go, and tomorrow when the sky is bright, you will go north, and I will go to Xianyang with General Zhang Han, and when Xianyang is finished, I will send reinforcements to the two of you. ”
After throwing out such a sentence, Yinggao stood up and walked out of the county temple, and behind him, followed Xiao He, and followed him all the way to his house.
"Childe received a message from Xianyang City?"
When only Xiao He and Ying Gao were left in the room, Xiao He suddenly asked.
"How can you ask that, sir?"
"Cao Shen's letter has just been delivered to me, and I wanted to show it to Gongzi today, but Gongzi's state, I'm afraid he already knows about it, right?"
