Chapter 43: Walking Together

The First Emperor said: "If you want to go to Qidu, I want to go, how about walking together?" ”

Qin Wen was overjoyed and said: "Qin Wen is fortunate to be able to go the same way with Mr. ”

The First Emperor smiled happily and said: "Okay, my name is Zhao Zheng, and this trip depends on Wen Duoduo's care." ”

Qin Wen hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Brother Zhao Zheng is serious, it is Qin Wen who needs more guidance from Brother Zhao Zheng." ”

The two of them happily led to the capital of Qi along the way, and the two talked very happily along the way, and the first emperor appreciated Qin Wen more and more, and sighed in his heart: "I can't imagine that I will be resurrected here, and shuttle parallel, and let me meet this person again, Qin Wen, Qin Wen, you are the prime minister of my great Qin." ”

The First Emperor has already decided in his heart that no matter what method is used, he will get Qin Wen to the Qin State, since he has encountered such a talent, how can Yingzheng, who is the First Emperor, let such a talent be released to the Qi State.

On the other side, the eldest prince of Qi finally rushed to the military camp in the port after many tribulations, and after the eldest prince arrived, he immediately ordered the preparation of military rations to finance Lin Ran, but before he could complete the preparations, Lin Ran rushed to the port military camp with 100,000 remnants.

When the eldest prince heard that Lin Ran was coming, he hurriedly went out of the camp to greet him, and when he saw Lin Ran hanging his head, he suddenly felt uneasy in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "General, shouldn't you be fighting with the Qin army in Yongcheng at this time?" How did you suddenly get here? ”

Lin Ran was depressed in his heart, and told the eldest prince what happened, and the eldest prince was like a thunderbolt on the spot after hearing it, he couldn't have imagined that the Qin army was so powerful, with only 20,000 troops to block Lin Ran's 150,000 army, and also annihilated Lin Ran's 50,000 army, the eldest prince had an unbelievable expression, if it wasn't for Lin Ran standing in front of him, if it weren't for the two soldiers carrying Lin Li's corpse, the eldest prince would never believe it, but now he can't help but believe it.

Lin Ran said: "Your Highness, we have to do our best, the Qin army will be killed soon, we can only cross the river and return to the city of Qi at this time, and defend it with the danger of the Qi Yellow River, the fall of the east has become a fact, and we can't let the Qin army enter the hinterland of our Qi country, otherwise the catastrophe will come, and the Qi country will be in danger." ”

Only then did the eldest prince react, and his face was ugly: "What the general said is reasonable, the society immediately went to let people prepare ships, and transferred all the grain and grass as soon as possible. ”

Although Lin Ran was physically and mentally exhausted, in order to agree, he just said lightly: "Thank you Your Highness for your kindness, but if you want to stay with your brother for a while, Your Highness can notify me after you are ready." ”

The eldest prince didn't say much when he heard this, but sighed and said, "Hey! People can't be resurrected after death, the general asks for condolences, General Lin Li sacrificed his life for the country, and the society will play His Majesty and show merit for him. ”

Lin Ran lowered his head, endured great sadness, and arched his hand: "His Royal Highness Xie is a great brother of the minister, the minister and the brother are all generals, and they died on the battlefield, and the horse leather shroud is the best destination for a general, and the minister believes that the minister's brother also thinks the same, and the minister only asks for one thing." ”

The eldest prince said: "The general, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Lin Ran arched his hand and said: "Your Highness, please fight to the death with the Qin State, the strength of the Qin State is too strong, the minister is defeated this time, someone in the court will definitely propose peace, the minister implores His Highness to stop it, the wolf ambition of the Qin State invaded the eastern part of my Qi State for no reason, and now it is more likely to encroach on the entire east, our army is powerless to stop it, however, if the intention is peace, then it is recognized that my Qi State has ceded the entire eastern part to the Qin State, although the Qin State occupies the east at this time, but the people's hearts are unstable, if the intention is peaceful at this time, it will definitely give the Qin State a chance to breathe, At that time, the eastern part will be completely reduced to the territory of Qin, and our Qi State will never have the possibility of recovering it, and it is only possible to recover it by taking advantage of the fact that Qin's foothold is not stable at this time. ”

The eldest prince also knew in his heart that what Lin Ran said was true, but all the ministers in the court were blind-eyed, greedy for pleasure, how could they stop it, Lin Ran's words, the eldest prince must not work, and the eldest prince could not say it directly, so he could only say: "Don't worry, the general will do his best." ”

How could Lin Ran not see the meaning of the eldest prince's perfunctory intentions, and also knew the situation in the court, and knew that such a request was indeed a bit embarrassing for the eldest prince, but the strength of the Qin State, Lin Ran remembered it vividly, how could he not be in a hurry, Lin Ran thought of a person, and immediately arched his hand again: "The minister also knows that this matter is difficult for His Highness, but the Qin State really has to guard against it, otherwise my Great Qi will definitely be replaced by Qin, and the minister thinks of one person, or he can help His Highness persuade His Majesty to give up peace." ”

The eldest prince asked curiously, "Who is the general talking about?" ”

Lin Ran arched his hand and replied: "I, Fan Jigao, the prime minister of Qi State, if there is anyone in my Qi country who can really persuade His Majesty, it is only the Prime Minister who is the head of the hundred officials." ”

The eldest prince said with a look of disbelief: "The general has forgotten that the prime minister has always supported my brother Wang, how can he help me." ”

Lin Ran said: "Your Highness's words are wrong, although the Prime Minister supports His Royal Highness, but this matter is related to the country's capital, and it is related to the life and death of my Great Qi. ”

After pondering for a while, the eldest prince said solemnly: "The general's words will definitely be brought by the society, and if the prime minister is really helped, the society will definitely go all out." ”

Lin Ran bowed down and said, "Thank you, Your Highness." ”

The eldest prince hurriedly helped: "The general's words are serious, this is a major matter of the Qi country, and as a royal family, the society has an unshirkable responsibility." ”

Lin Ran got up and looked at the sincere eyes of the eldest prince, knowing that he was not cheating, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said: "Since this is the case, the minister will take his brother's body down first, and when His Royal Highness is ready, he will send someone to inform him, and the minister will immediately organize soldiers and horses to cross the river." ”

Lin Ran took Lin Li's body and walked towards the big tent of the Chinese army, the eldest prince sighed slightly and hurriedly gathered the ships, and at the same time moved all the grain and grass in the military camp to the ferry, and after preparing the ships to recruit them, they were all transported back to the Qi country.

Just as Meng Tian took Yongcheng and Lin Ran was about to withdraw from the east to cross the Qihuang River, Han Xin, who was thousands of miles away, also launched an attack on Dragon Island.

After dozens of days of exploration and testing, Han Xin finally determined the true location of Dragon Island and found out the true situation on the island.

Dragon Island is located five hundred miles away from the city, it is an isolated island, most of the residents on the island cultivate, there are a total of 5,000 people on the whole island, among which the number of cultivators is not less than two hundred, don't underestimate this small number of two hundred, in many small countries in the world, there are not necessarily one or two cultivators, not to mention that a small isolated island actually has nearly two hundred cultivators living in seclusion.

Gao Wanqiu learned that Han Xin wanted to send troops to attack Dragon Island, so she hurried to stop it, but she was still a step slow, and Han Xin had already begun to attack Dragon Island at this time.

Han Xin commanded several warships to line up, and there was a burst of bombardment on Dragon Island.

Dragon Island was suddenly attacked, and for a while he forgot to defend for a while, Han Xin, who was caught off guard for no reason.

After the owner of Dragon Island reacted, he hurriedly opened the island protection array, and immediately all the shells were blocked by a protective shield.

Seeing this, Han Xin shouted magically, the protective shield has not been studied by the Qin State until now, I didn't expect that in this backward world, someone actually created a protective shield, how could this not make Han Xin curious, and at the same time, it also strengthened Han Xin's idea of destroying Dragon Island, if he could capture Dragon Island and get this magical protective shield, then the strength of the Qin army would definitely increase greatly.

Seeing that he had not been able to break through the protective shield, Han Xin frowned and said, "All the battleships turn their guns and aim at them with one click." ”

Han Xin gave an order, and immediately all the guns were turned around, aiming at one point, and the herald came to Han Xin's command room, bowed down and said: "General, all the battleships are ready, please give the general an order." ”

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Han Xin's eyes and said, "Okay, give the order, and fire the cannon at the same time." ”

With Han Xin's order, all the war guns made a roaring sound at the same time, and the protective shield of Dragon Island was constantly attacked, and the huge impact force made Dragon Island shake again and again, and the owner of Dragon Island asked: "What happened, could it be that the Qin army attacked again?" ”

A herald hurried to report that "something bad is going on for the island owner, then... The Qin army attacked the island defense array again, this time the Qin army did not disperse the firepower, but concentrated all its forces on one point, and now the island protection array has been crumbling, please give the island owner an order, what should we do next. ”

The island master didn't know what to do, so he could only say: "Let Long Qi lead all the cultivators on the island to resist the Qin army, let the Great Elder organize all the people to hide in the Dragon Valley, and let the Great Elder wake up the sleeping dragon in the Dragon Valley." ”

Hearing that the island master had awakened the sleeping dragon, the herald was suddenly shocked in his heart: "This... This, if the island owner awakens the dragon, then even if he defeats the Qin army, how should we deal with the awakened dragon? ”

The island owner replied: "I can't think about it so much now, I have to stop the Qin army if I say anything, otherwise we will finish the entire Dragon Island, according to the news we learned from our previous investigation, what do you think will happen to us if we let the Qin army enter the island, so now we can't take care of it so much, you go and tell the Great Elder as soon as possible, I will go to the Island Protection Array first to see if I can use the Great Array to stop the Qin Army for a while, you take this opportunity to organize the evacuation of people as soon as possible, by the way, and the cultivation cheats in the Tengfei Pavilion should also be transferred as soon as possible, The collection of books in the Tengfei Pavilion is the foundation of my Dragon Island, and we must not let it fall into the hands of the Qin State. ”

Seeing this, the herald knew that the island owner had made up his mind and had no intention of changing, so he could only sigh slightly in his heart.

After the island owner finished explaining the people who came to give the order, he went out of the hall and went straight to the guard array, and when he saw that there was a crack there, he hit a true yuan with his hand, and suddenly the crack disappeared, and the island owner came to the position where the Qin army attacked, and a true yuan was hit, and the crack that the Qin army blasted out was repaired.
