Xinzheng Palace.

After the sweep of Ying Cheng and the entry of Ying Zheng, the original decoration style in Xinzheng Palace has been the same as that of Xianyang Palace.

It's just that the main hall is a little short, and the stairs are a little short, which makes the ministers who are used to using the court as a fitness thing a little uncomfortable.

But this made the courtiers of the Qin State have more physical strength, and they shouted loudly in the imperial study.

"This battle must stop!" Mi Li said in a straight voice: "You must not fight like this again!" ”

"It's not worth it to be enemies of Zhao, Yan, and Chu for the territory of the old Wei!"

"The territory can be recaptured in the future, but the current Great Qin does not have the ability to start a war with the Three Kingdoms at the same time!"

Wei Yu asked rhetorically: "Then what should I do with Daqin?" ”

"Do you want to give up the territory of the old Wei completely?"

"Even if I am willing to do so, will the three kingdoms of Zhao, Chu, and Yan be able to collect troops?"

"They won't! I will only continue to march inch by inch, and I will not stop until I force Daqin back to Hangu Pass! ”

Mi Li asked rhetorically: "My Great Qin has the ability to continue to fight with the nations, but only to retreat for the sake of peace, can the countries dare to continue to pursue?" ”

The important ministers in the imperial study did not stand on the side of the faction, but only on the basis of their personal judgment on the battle, and argued endlessly.

Half an hour later, Mi Li finally couldn't help but face Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, please ask for your life!" ”

"Order the deputy general Mengwu to return to Daliang City, order the Chang'an Jun's department to return to Anling City, and order the general Wang Jian to return to Taihang Mountain."

"I, Daqin, borrowed Daliang City, Yingshui, and Taihang Mountain to defend the territory, and gave up all the territory outside this defense line!"

Mi Li's suggestion was not mixed with any personal feelings, it was really because the current battle situation of Great Qin was too difficult.

Northern Route.

Wang Jian has been fighting against Li Mu for half a year.

There are only 320,000 soldiers and horses left in Li Mu's department, but only 170,000 soldiers and horses in Wang Jian's department.

Although Wang Jian is still persevering, and even can play a little advantage from time to time, it is difficult not to worry about such a disparity in the ratio of forces.

Eastern Front.

Meng Wu led 30,000 soldiers and horses against the 100,000 soldiers and horses commanded by General Qu.

Fortunately, with Yang Jincheng as the backing, Mengwu can persist until now.

However, the difference of more than three times the strength of the army also made it very difficult for Mengwu to fight, and it was fortunate to remain undefeated.

Southern Route.

Even with Ying Zheng's reinforcement and the young men temporarily recruited from the old Wei land as reinforcements, there were only more than 170,000 Ying Cheng's troops left.

On the other hand, the Chu army, although it was defeated several times and the Jing clan retreated, there were only more than 200,000 soldiers left in Xiang Yan's department.

But since the Jing clan can withdraw from the army, they can also participate in the war again, Xiang Yan's department can be restored to 300,000 soldiers and horses at any time, and if the king of Chu can sort out the internal problems of the Chu State, the Chu State can even increase its troops to 400,000!

Three fronts, all three lines are inferior.

Whether it is troops or food and grass, Great Qin has reached a crumbling state.

How does this work?

Mi Li really can't think of how to fight this battle!

Wei Yi also stepped forward and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, please don't forget why this battle started. ”

"I, Great Qin, can back down and form an alliance, but all this must be after my Great Qin has achieved a victory!"

"Otherwise, why are the heroes afraid of Great Qin?"

Since the start of the war, many people may have forgotten what the core purpose of this war is.

But Wei Yi didn't forget.

The most fundamental purpose of this war is to use a war to tell the world that Great Qin is still strong, and you must not have bad intentions!

If Great Qin retreated like this, the kingdoms would find that Great Qin had no strength to resist the alliance.

Even if Great Qin retreats to Hangu Pass, the countries will immediately take advantage of the victory to pursue and launch the sixth joint attack on Qin!

Facing the expectant gaze of the ministers, Ying Zheng was silent for a long time before he spoke: "The widows believe in the widows' generals. ”

"General Wang Qian, General Meng Wu, and Chang'an Jun Gongzi Cheng Chan are all speechless and retreat."

"Since the widow's generals have not yet given up, how can the widow easily give up the territory that my Great Qin soldiers regained with their blood and lives!"

The ministers shouted in unison: "Your Majesty! ”

In the same voice of the king, the ministers made three sounds: excited, sad and panicked.

Well?

Alarmed?

The cry of panic sounded again: "Military intelligence emergency!" Please hurry up to the king! ”

The ministers immediately turned their heads to look at the door of the imperial study, and Yingzheng unconsciously got up and shouted: "Pass!" ”

The door of the imperial study was pushed open, and a thousand generals strode in, hurriedly speaking while arching their hands: "Seven miles outside the city, the traces of the Chu army have been found!" ”

Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

The frightened cry outside the door frightened Yingzheng's heart trembled.

Now that he heard that it was not Ying Chengcheng who was injured or killed in battle, Ying Zheng relieved himself and asked in a deep voice: "What is the strength of the Chu army?" ”

Thousands of generals said in a loud voice: "The enemy army is about 30,000, and there are many 'Xiang' flags in the army. ”

Mi Li couldn't help but exclaim: "The headquarters of the Shangzhu State of Chu has arrived outside Xinzheng City?!" ”

Wei Yi shook his head: "Since there are only 30,000 soldiers and horses outside the city, it will not be the department of Xiang Yan of Shangzhu State. ”

"Xu is a partial division."

Mi Li immediately surrendered his hand: "The minister invites the king, take advantage of the enemy's arrival, withdraw from Xinzheng City!" ”

Ying Zheng asked lightly: "Where is Aiqing admonishing?" ”

Mi Li said sincerely: "Now there are only 8,000 guards and 10,000 regular troops in the city. ”

"The strength of the troops in the city is far inferior to the Chu army!"

"How can the king live in such a dangerous city!"

"Therefore, the minister asks the king to withdraw from Xinzheng City as soon as possible and return to Xianyang City!"

Many courtiers gave up their hands to advise: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

Ying Zheng laughed loudly: "It's just a multiple enemy." ”

"The widow guards according to Xinzheng, why be afraid!"

"Everyone, Aiqing, and follow the widow to the city to take a look!"

Mi Li wanted to persuade again, but was dragged by Wei Yi's arm.

Mi Li was furious: "You sycophant, let go of Ben Shangqing!" ”

Wei Yi said in a deep voice: "Since Mi Shangqing has not been in the battle formation, he should not participate in the war. ”

"If the king leaves the city at this moment, the morale of our army will be reduced, and it will be difficult to fight for a long time."

"The Chu army will not watch the king withdraw his troops, and will definitely chase and kill him."

"According to the city, there are also multiple troops."

"But if you pursue it in the wilderness, the accident will increase dramatically!"

Wei Yi knew very well that Ying Zheng was not a decision made as soon as his head was hot.

There are advantages and disadvantages to abandoning the city and fleeing and holding on to the city.

Once Yingzheng withdraws his troops as Mi Li said, the battle is doomed, and the next thing to do is to reduce the losses.

But in the midst of the chaos, Yingzheng is still at risk of being killed.

Holding on to the city seems dangerous, but as long as the Qin army does not break the city, Yingzheng will be safe.

Wei Yi looked at Xin Wu and other generals: "Do you generals think that you can defend Xinzheng without losing it?" ”

All the generals bowed their hands in unison: "You will not lose the city!" ”

After Wei Yi's explanation and the assurances of the generals, the courtiers no longer persuaded them, but just followed Yingzheng to the city wall in fear.

Walking to the women's wall, Ying Zheng looked into the distance, and saw a black line spreading from a distance.

Ying Zheng asked with interest: "That's Chu Jun?" ”

Wei Yi bowed his head and said, "It's the Chu army." ”

"Looking at its banner, there are many private soldiers of the Xiang family."

This is the first time that Ying Zheng has seen with his own eyes a large-scale enemy army that is about to fight.

As the Chu army approached, Ying Zheng smiled and shook his head: "Chu army? ”

"Inferior to my Great Qin Ruishi!"

Hearing the praise of their own king, the soldiers defending the city were excited: "Thank you, the king!" ”

Ying Zheng looked at the group of soldiers and asked in a deep voice: "The enemy's strength is more than twice that of our army. ”

"Great Qin Ruishi, are you afraid?"

Meng Tian and the other servants spread out with great vision, and spread Yingzheng's words to the whole city in a person-to-person manner.

Hearing Ying Zheng's question, all the Qin soldiers responded in a positive voice: "Don't be afraid!" ”

Ying Zheng was satisfied: "Good! ”

"This is my Great Qin's sharp soldier, this is the widow's sharp soldier!"

"The soldiers are not afraid, and the few are not afraid!"

"Summoning the order of Shangyi, take the armor of the widow, and the widow and my Great Qin Ruishi will defend Xinzheng City together, and fight to the death without retreating!"

Hearing Ying Zheng's words, all the Qin troops were shocked.

Xinzheng City is the capital of the old Han, but not the capital of Daqin.

Yingzheng has no reason to stick to Xinzheng.

Many Qin troops have been mentally prepared for Ying Zheng's decision, but Ying Zheng is now saying that he will not retreat, and he will be with all Qin troops? !

The soldiers of the whole city roared in unison: "Fight to the death for the king!" ”

"Even if you die, you won't retreat!"

The morale of the Qin army skyrocketed, and the eyes of the Chu army outside the city were like greedy wolves.

Ying Zheng said happily: "Order! ”

"Nestenfu is the commander of this battle, and General Xin Wu is the deputy general of this battle."

"All the soldiers and horses in Xinzheng City are handed over to the Ney Stenf."

Ying Zheng looked at Teng Fu seriously: "The life of the widow will be handed over to Teng Neishi." ”

Feeling Yingzheng's strong trust, Tengfu's heart was hot, and his eyes were a little sour.

This official is a traitorous and defeated general, why is the king so trusted, and even entrusted with his life!

Is the king really not afraid that this official will betray Daqin again?

Death for a confidant!

Tengfu threw up his hand and made a resolute promise: "As long as the minister still has a breath left, the Chu army must not step into Xinzheng City!" ”

Ying Zheng smiled warmly: "The widow is waiting to return to Xianyang with you and drink freely with the Qilin Palace!" ”

Tengfu bowed his hand and saluted: "Only! ”

Seeing that Yingzheng had no intention of continuing to order, Wei Yi advised in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you can send orders to Chang'an Jun's troops to come back for help." ”

The Chu army appeared outside Xinzheng City, and the precipitous degree of the battle situation had broken through Wei Yi's psychological bottom line.

As the most staunch main battle faction, Wei Yi began to advise Ying Chengcheng to withdraw his troops.

Isn't it just that the Qin State is considered weak by the Zhuxiong?

Isn't it just to face the soldiers of the United States?

The Qin State is a big deal to shrink the Hangu Pass, and it is to recuperate.

But Yingzheng can't die in Xinzheng City!

Ying Zheng shook his head: "The widow will inform Chang'an Jun of the movements of the Chu army." ”

"Whether to return the aid or not, it is up to Chang'anjun to decide!"

Wei Yi looked at Ying Zheng in shock: "Your Majesty, Chang'an Jun is also the son of the first king!" ”

Wei Yi didn't finish his words, but everyone understood what Wei Yi meant.

With the identity and prestige of Ying Chengcheng, once Ying Zheng died in Xinzheng, Ying Chengcheng is likely to succeed to the throne of King Qin!

That's the throne!

Even if Ying Zheng forcibly ordered Ying Cheng to come back to help, Wei Yi was worried that Ying Cheng would refuse to come back.

But now, Ying Zheng let Ying Cheng judge for himself?

How could Ying Cheng Chan come back to help!

He must wish Ying Zheng died in Xinzheng!

Ying Zheng's eyes were a little more gentle: "Yes." ”

"Chang'an Jun is the widowed king's brother!"

……

Just when the king of Qin was looking at the Chu army from afar, the king of Chu was also looking at the Qin army from afar.

Shouchun City Head.

Chu Wang Han looked at the Qin army rushing from the northwest, his hands in his sleeves trembled slightly, and he asked in a deep voice: "Can you find out how much strength the Qin army has?" Who is the manager? ”

Li Yuan said solemnly: "According to the report of the scouts, the Qin army in the north of the city has more than 50,000 troops. ”

"The commander of this army is ......" Li Yuan was silent for a moment before continuing to speak:

"Qin Guo Chang'anjun, Gongzi Chengcheng!"
