Chapter 36: Defeat Beyond the River

Looking at the white silver hair and the rickety body, Wu Zhan only felt sad in his heart. Who would have thought that Bai Qi, the god of war who was once invincible and terrified the Six Kingdoms, was now destroyed by the years and turned into this appearance......

Saying goodbye to Bai Qi, Wu Zhan walked out accompanied by Guo Jiaoxi.

"The Commander is coughing a little!" Wu Zhan said seemingly casually.

"Well, who's to say it isn't."

Guo Jiaoxi said as he walked: "An old man of the age of the commander lives in this dark, damp and cold underground all day long, and he can't see the sun all year round, and his body has long been eroded by the dampness and cold, alas, if it goes on like this, the body of the commander doesn't know how long it can last......"

"Why don't you ask a famous doctor to lead the treatment?" Wu Zhan couldn't help but ask.

"There are people in our base who are good at medicine, and the commander himself is also very skilled, the reason why this is the case is not because of the pharmacology of the disease, the sincere heart of the leader, in fact, he has already gone with King Zhaoxiang." Guo Jiaoxi said sadly.

Wu Zhan couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he heard this: Xianjun is more virtuous because of famous generals, and famous generals are more famous because of Xianjun. King Qin Zhaoxiang and the god of war Bai Qi are really a rare pair of CP combinations, just like Qin Xiaogong and Shang Ying, King Qin Huiwen and Zhang Yi......

"Now that the Commander has agreed to your request, the men who support you will soon join you in Xianyang, these are the most powerful of our Nether Guards, I hope you can lead them to the greatest effect!" Guo Jiaoxi poked his hands into his sleeves and said with a stingy expression.

"Teach them to me, don't worry, I believe that I will live up to everyone's expectations......" Wu Zhan patted his chest and promised.

"It's because of you and I that I'm ......not at ease," Guo Jiaoxi pouted and quipped.

Wu Zhan could only repay it with a big white eye.

There was nothing to say all the way, and when Wu Zhan returned to Xianyang, it was already the afternoon of the second day.

Bypassing the guards of the royal city, from the secret passage to today's palace, I felt that the palace seemed to be a gloomy cloud, the maids and eunuchs were all frightened, and the royal forest soldiers were all nervous.

Looking at Lu Buwei from afar, he walked towards the harem surrounded by a group of henchmen, and his behavior was a little hurried.

Wu Zhan couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, thinking about it carefully, was it because of the war outside the river?

Quietly came to the outside of the imperial study, looked into the room through the gap, and saw Ying Zheng sitting behind the dragon case, Meng Yi waited quietly, and the atmosphere was even more silent and depressing.

Without waiting for Wu Zhan to enter, the vigilant Meng Yi took the first step in front of Ying Zheng, and shouted coldly at the door: "Who? ”

Only then did Wu Zhan push open the door and enter in a trance, and closed the door again.

When Meng Yi saw who was coming, he relaxed his guard.

"Wu Zhan pays a visit to King Qin!" Wu Zhan bowed and saluted.

"Boss, you're back!"

Ying Zheng got up and bypassed the dragon case, ran in front of Wu Zhan, and said with a somewhat panicked expression: "The old general Meng Fu has been defeated, and the Five Nations Alliance Army has taken advantage of the victory to pursue, and it has already reached Hangu Pass!" ”

After listening to this, Wu Zhan couldn't help but express his deep admiration for the accuracy of Bai Qi's prediction, so he smiled slightly and said, "What happened to me, it turned out that this incident made everyone so nervous." ”

"Isn't that serious? If the Five Nations Alliance takes advantage of the victory to break through the Hangu Pass, won't my Great Qin be in danger? Ying Zheng still asked in a panic.

Meng Yi on the side hurriedly surrendered his hand and asked for his life: "Don't worry, the king, Meng Yi is willing to go to Hangu Pass to assist grandpa in fighting the enemy together." ”

In Meng Yi's view, his grandfather's defeat outside the river is already a lot of responsibility, and if Hanguguan falls again, even if his Meng family all apologizes for their crimes with death, it will not be enough to make up for it.

"I don't know how General Meng was defeated?" Wu Zhan asked.

"Meng Yi will tell the boss about the war outside the river." Ying Zheng said to Meng Yi.

"Grandpa personally led 200,000 troops and 300,000 troops of the Five Nations Alliance Army to confront each other outside the river, I never thought that Wei Wuji personally led 100,000 troops to make a detour to the rear to attack our Huashan granary, when Grandpa led the army back to the rescue, the main force of the Five Nations Alliance Army came to kill, and suddenly put our Qin army into a situation of being flanked before and after, grandpa tried his best to withstand it, and finally retreated to Hangu Pass to hold on to the ......"

"Hahaha" Wu Zhan suddenly laughed out loud, and this laugh stunned Ying Zheng and Meng Yi on the spot.

Meng Yi looked even more strange, in his opinion, his grandfather and father were defeated, Wu Zhan actually laughed, if it was someone else, I am afraid he would have already had a seizure.

"Why is the boss laughing?" Meng Yi asked with a gloomy face.

"Hahaha, don't get me wrong, I'm laughing because the coalition forces are about to return in vain, but you are here like ants on a hot pot, can't you laugh and scold?"

Ying Zheng and Meng Yi couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this, not understanding what Wu Zhan meant.

Wu Zhan didn't sell Guanzi either, but listened to him say confidently: "Although we are temporarily defeated outside the river, but with General Meng Lao stationed at Hangu Pass, it will be difficult for the Five Nations Alliance to conquer!" Wei Wuji, the commander of the Five Nations Alliance, will be recalled to Wei by the King of Wei immediately. ”

"What does the boss mean by this?" Meng Yi couldn't help but ask.

So Wu Zhan repeated Bai Qi's analysis of the words of the Five Nations Alliance and Xinling Jun Wei Wuji to the two, and they couldn't help but nod when they heard Yingzheng and the others.

"I didn't expect the boss to have such a comprehensive grasp of the enemy situation and analyze it so thoroughly, Meng Yi admires it!" Meng Yi said with sincere admiration.

"Hehe, where am I so powerful......" Wu Zhan scratched his head in embarrassment and smiled.

"With such an opinion, I am afraid that no one in today's world can match it, so why should the boss be humble?" Meng Yi continued to praise.

Wu Zhan couldn't reveal the news that Bai Qi was still alive, so he had to prevaricate, which made Ying Zheng and the others think that he was too modest.

"But what if King Wei doesn't recall Xinlingjun or Xinlingjun doesn't obey the king's orders?" Xiao Yingzheng asked suddenly, and he was able to get to the point with one sentence.

Wu Zhan smiled and said: "Xinling Jun Wei Wuji used to disobey the king's order and seize the tiger talisman to save Handan, although this made him famous all over the world from then on, but it also made him highly meritorious. If the coalition army is defeated this time, the king of Wei may not be suspicious of him, but now that the coalition army has won a big victory outside the river, if he wins again, the prestige and merit of Xinling Jun may reach its peak, and the throne of the king of Wei will not be threatened at that time? ”

"Hiss......" Ying Zheng and Meng Yi secretly gasped when they heard this.

"So King Wei will definitely recall Wei Wuji!"

Wu Zhan said confidently: "If Wei Wuji disobeys the king's order again at that time, it will inevitably be confirmed that he is suspected of rebellion, so I am sure that he will definitely return after the edict!" ”

After listening to Wu Zhan's analysis, Ying Zheng and the two nodded their heads in favor.

"If it is really as the boss said, as soon as Wei Wuji goes, the Five Nations Alliance will naturally break itself, and finally return in vain." A smile appeared on Ying Zheng's face and praised.

"In fact, we have already secretly sent people to the Wei State to spread the letter that Lingjun wants to replace the King of Wei, this time Wei Wuji, this old boy is afraid that he will not be able to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River!" Wu Zhandao.

Ying Zheng and Meng Yi glanced at each other, and couldn't help but say in unison: "Cai! ”

"I didn't expect that the Tianluo Earth Net has just taken shape, and the boss will be able to build this great achievement, and it seems that we will increase our investment in the Tianluo Earth Net!" Ying Zheng nodded and said.

Wu Zhan could only laugh dryly again, it seems that he can't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River, these are actually the credit of Bai Qi, he had no intention of taking it for himself, but now he can only have a hard time......

At this time, it was rumored that Lu Buwei had arrived outside the door.

The three of them glanced at each other, and Wu Zhan hurriedly urged his figure to flash behind the screen on the side.

After a while, Lu Buwei walked in with a panicked expression, and it seemed that he had just agreed something with the Queen Mother.

"The old minister pays a visit to my king." Lu Buwei Shili greeted.

Ying Zheng stretched out his hand and said: "The middle father doesn't need to be polite, I don't know what the middle father has to say here?" ”

"Now that the troops of the Five Nations Alliance are under the Hangu Pass, the enemy soldiers pointed out that Xianyang is in danger, and the old minister has just discussed with the Queen Mother, and wants to ask the king to temporarily go to Yongcheng to avoid the enemy's edge......" LΓΌ Buwei arched his hand, his tone was full of pessimism and helplessness.

If it weren't for Wu Zhan's analysis and rhetoric just now, Ying Zheng might have been moved, but at this time, it was naturally different from the past, I saw him smile slightly, and then his face turned straight, and said: "I am the king of Great Qin, Xianyang City is the royal city built by the Qin kings of the past dynasties, how can I just flee in such a gloomy manner?" If I do this, how can I be worthy of the Heavenly Heroic Spirit of the Qin Kings of the past dynasties? ”

These words came from the mouth of a child who was only about fourteen years old, and Lu Buwei in the hall couldn't help but feel incredulous, as if he had just begun to know Yingzheng, and looked at the half-grown child in front of him again.

"The king is right!"

Meng Yi on the side echoed: "Don't say that the Five Nations Alliance has not yet broken through the Hangu Pass, even if they can kill under Xianyang City, we Qin people will never escape." If that day really comes, I, Meng Yi, will be the first to fight to the death with the enemy who comes to attack! ”

"Okay, it's really worthy of my Da Qin Erlang!" Ying Zheng couldn't help but appreciate.

When Lu Buwei heard this, he shook his head secretly, saying that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and these people are still too young.

"Your Majesty, you just listen to the old minister's words and go to Yongcheng to take refuge for a while, if Hangu Pass is not lost, won't the king come back at that time?" Lu Buwei continued to persuade with a bitter face.

But he saw Yingzheng get up and said: "Father Zhong doesn't need to say much, not only will I not go to Yongcheng for temporary refuge, but I will also go to Hangu Pass to reward the three armies!" ”

"Nonsense!"

This was not what Lu Buwei said, everyone looked towards the door when they heard this, and saw Zhao Ji dressed in luxury, surrounded by a group of maids and eunuchs.

"Lu Xiang asked you to go to Yongcheng temporarily for your own good, how can you be so ignorant, and keep saying that you want to go to Hangu Pass to reward the army?" Zhao Jifeng's eyes were cold, and his face was full of frost and blame.

"Zheng'er visits the queen mother." Ying Zheng hurriedly knelt on the ground to salute, and Meng Yi on the side also knelt on the ground.

"You go and clean up now, and we'll go to Yongcheng immediately." Zhao Ji's tone was unquestionable.

But he saw Yingzheng stand up from the ground, and said with a firm look in his eyes: "I understand the kindness of the queen mother and the middle father, but I will never go to Yongcheng for refuge, if I leave, will the soldiers and people of the Qin State still rise up to resist the enemy?" We can take refuge in Yongcheng for the time being, but what about the soldiers on the front line? ”

"You ......" Zhao Ji was speechless for a while when she heard this, but her heart was full of joy that her political son had finally grown up and had the courage and responsibility that an emperor should have.

LΓΌ Buwei was also shocked by Ying Zheng's words, or by the imperial aura exuded by Ying Zheng's body, Ying Zheng will one day have a general meeting to pro-government, where should he go at that time? Thinking of this, an inexplicable fear arose......
