Chapter Seventy-Five: The Princess and the Knight
The people's will will will determine the outcome of the battle.
Revive Daqin.
Build another Qin army that swept Liuhe and was like a bamboo, this is the hope of every veteran who retired from the Qin army, the fathers and elders in the Guanzhong area, like Xin Sheng, there are not a few, after the so-called imperial court in Xianyang disappointed them again and again, Li Yuan appeared like a shining meteor instantly.
For the decline of the Qin State, the responsibility of the second Qin Hu Hai is far higher than that of the prime minister Zhao Gao, as the so-called in his position to seek his own government, you are in the position but do not do things, this is the biggest dereliction of duty, and Hu Hai is even more unbearable is that you do not do things, and the person selected to do things instead of you is still an extremely selfish and ambitious villain.
The arrival of Xin Sheng and other fathers calmed down Li Yuan's state of mind that had always been apprehensive, Guanzhong, for Li Yuan, is a strange place, and similarly, the old Qin people, to Li Yuan, are also a group of strangers who cannot be perceived. Now, he finally began to touch the blood of the Qin people in Guanzhong.
The Qin State fell, and the sharpness of the bloody Qin people was almost exhausted, and the old Qin people were desperate, and their requirements were just a safe and stable living environment.
The murderer dies, the wounder is punished, and the theft is punished. This was the three-chapter clause agreed between Gaozu Liu Bang and the elders of Guanzhong, which was very simple, but it suddenly subdued the uneasy mood of the Qin people in Guanzhong who were worried about the imminent demise of the Qin State, and thus laid a solid foundation for Liu Bang to win the support of the Qin people in the later Chu and Han hegemony wars.
Compared with the brutal Zhao Gao and the brutal Xiang Yu, although Liu Bang used Guanzhong as the granary of the Han army, he finally gave the Qin people a chance to live.
History does not repeat itself, but it is different because of the appearance of Li Yuan.
When the Qin people needed heroes the most, Li Yuan stood up, even if his ancestral home was not the Qin State, even if his identity was humble and inconspicuous, even if his qualifications did not have outstanding merits.
None of this matters.
For the Qin people, there is only one thing that matters, and that is hope.
When Li Yuan tried to turn the tide with a lonely posture, and when Li Yuan's army swept through the counties of Guanzhong like a bamboo, Xin Sheng's heart that had given up was moved.
He wanted to meet Li Yuan for a while to see what kind of magic this young man had, and he was so bold that he dared to take a few thousand people to attack the national capital Xianyang.
Xin Sheng is like this, and the other fathers and elders also think the same way.
――。
February 19.
On a warm and cold spring day, the weather in the Guanzhong area is still a little cold, and the strong northwest wind from the prairie breaks through the layers of ravines on the high slopes of the loess from time to time, and hits the plains around Weishui and Jingshui.
Liyi.
At the ferry port on the shore, the eldest princess of Daqin, Ying Yushu, the leader of the Western Expeditionary Army, Li Yuan, the leader of the Western Expeditionary Army, Chen Ping, Sima Houxi and others have been waiting for a long time.
"Gong Xin, I haven't seen you for many years, how are you doing?"
Dressed in full costume, Ying Yushu was hugged by a group of Xuanjia soldiers, with a bright smile on his face, changing his previous soft and weak appearance, people's circumstances are sometimes really strange, when you fall into a strange circle, you will find that you are in a desperate situation, and there is no way out; And when you jump out of that circle and look back, you suddenly find that you are cocooning yourself.
No longer worrying about Li Si's life and death, no longer thinking about the rise and fall of the Li family, what Ying Yushu has to do now is to be herself and be a real princess of the Great Qin Kingdom.
"Old minister, see Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!" Xin Sheng's beard was already white, and there was a flush on his old cheeks, and Xin Sheng was very excited that Ying Yushu still remembered him.
That time, it was the time when the first emperor feasted the ministers and generals, and on the main hall, there were many talents, such as the lieutenants, Meng Yi, Meng Tian, Wang Qian, Wang Ben, Li Si, Li Xin, Feng Quji, Feng Zheng, Ren Huan, etc., and Xin Sheng was among them, just an inconspicuous pebble.
At that time, Ying Yushu was just a fifteen-year-old lady, and the first emperor who was still in the prime of life was excited, and summoned a group of princes and princesses such as Fusu, Gao, Huhai, and Yushu to meet with the ministers.
Now, only seven years have passed, the Qin State has been a mulberry field, from strong to declining, a number of prominent celebrities have gone, and the princes are also destined to return to Huangquan.
"Gong Xin is an elder, please move to the camp and give him a seat!" Ying Yushu nodded and said.
"Princess, please!"
"Elders, fathers, please move!"
"General Lee, please-!"
After a cold noise, the strong men in the army will kill and cook the rewards brought by their fathers, and then send several jars of wine, and a unique and luxurious banquet in the army begins.
After Ying Yushu greeted him at the beginning, he returned to the back camp with the maidservant, and the reception of the following banquet was handed over to Lieutenant General Li Yuanjun and Chen Ping. For Xin Sheng and other fathers who were once soldiers in the army, such a military banquet has not been participated in for many years, which makes the veterans have a feeling of returning to their youth.
"Hey, my Daqin's luck was all tossed by Zhao Gao, a eunuch, who pointed to the deer as a horse in the court, and the ministers who told the truth were imprisoned one after another, and the rest were all sloppy and horse-beating people, and Daqin had a peaceful day." Xin Shengjiu came to the hearty place, and he shouted angrily.
"What Gong Xin said is very true, although we are old, but the ambition is still there, today, I will drink the same, and he will wait for General Li to step on the Maba Bridge and take the head of Zhao Gao, and I will drink it again." All the fathers and elders were drunk, or screaming, or angrily reprimanding, for a while, above the banquet, it was the sound of the men in Guanzhong.
"Princess, I, Li Yuan, am here today, and I make a heavy oath not to punish Zhao Gao, and I swear not to withdraw troops!" Excited, Li Yuan threw his cup to the ground and said loudly.
This was a banquet where Li Yuanjun and Guanzhong's fathers fused, and after Xin Sheng and other fathers returned to their hometowns, the names of Ying Yushu and Li Yuan were also spread by more and more Qin people.
Hu Hai, his reputation has become infamous.
This stubborn young man did not inherit even a trace of the First Emperor's ability, all he had was the indifference and cruelty of killing his brothers and sisters.
How could a person who could lift a butcher's knife to his relatives be expected to care for the people, the Qin people, who had illusions about this young emperor, were completely disappointed in the second emperor Bixia after just over a year.
On the contrary, as the only surviving bloodline of the First Emperor, Ying Yushu has always been very low-key, and she has almost no publicity, whether she marries into the Li family or after marriage, there are no negative rumors, which makes her image very acceptable to the Qin people, especially this time, she led the army to crusade against the traitorous Zhao Gao as the eldest daughter of the First Emperor and the widow of Li You, which made the curious people of Qin even more excited.
As for Li Yuan, the general of the Western Expeditionary Army, the young general who guarded the eldest princess, the heroic and brave captain of the Qin State, and the hero who assisted in the revival, isn't this just an example of the dreams of many young people in the Qin State?
