Chapter 516: General Zhengbei

Following.

The slowly moving convoy, departing from the rising sun, went straight west from Hanguguan to Xianyang, the capital of Qin.

The Chen Dynasty did not shrink back in the carriage anymore, but rode on horseback.

The roads of Qin are not as cement as Daji, and the road conditions here are not good, and it is not as comfortable as riding a horse in a carriage.

While riding a horse, Chen Chao occasionally raised his head to look at the carriage where Meng Changlan was in front of him.

Both of them tacitly didn't mention what happened last night, Chen Chao didn't know what Meng Changlan meant last night, obviously he wasn't drunk, but he wanted to pretend to be drunk and let himself take advantage of her.

Could it be that this eldest sister has been single for many years and is lonely?

……

"Drive!"

Hou Ji carried a gun behind him, rode forward on horseback, and handed Chen Chao a water bladder.

Chen Chao took a sip, lowered his voice, and whispered to Hou Ji:

"The brothers called Long Wuwei are all careful, when they enter the Qin realm, they are no better than us, it is strictly forbidden to drink, it is strictly forbidden to go out alone, and they must not lose any flintlock pistols, people are in the gun!"

"Yes."

Hou Ji nodded solemnly:

"Don't worry, before I came, my subordinates told me thousands of times."

"Besides, even if the gun is given to the Qin people, they won't use it."

"Be careful, it's always right." Chen Chao screwed on the water bladder and threw it back, speeding up.

.....

Northern Xinjiang of the Great Era, Xuanfu Town.

Truckloads of grain and grass were pulled into the town, and a large number of heavily armed soldiers were stationed in the town to prepare for the battle.

After a group of battalion soldiers opened the way with spears in hand, not long after, an old general with a tiger's back raised the holy decree in his hand and strode in.

Xu Boyan walked to the stage, looked at everyone in the audience coldly, unfolded the holy decree, and said in a thick and dull voice:

"Boom! The second prince of Daji, for the general of the expedition to the north! ”

After Xu Boyan, who came from the capital, finished speaking, the second prince knelt on his knees, raised his hands and respectfully received the holy decree:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!"

"The ministers will live up to the trust, protect the border and the people, and protect my country!"

Xu Boyan withdrew his hands, held down the waist knife with one hand, and looked at the second prince who slowly got up in front of him, with some scrutiny in his eyes.

After looking at it for a while, Xu Boyan retracted his gaze and said in a deep voice:

"General Zhengbei, outstanding military merits, trying to ensure that our border is not lost, repelling several attacks by Rong Di, Your Majesty and the princes heard this, and gave the title of General Zhengbei."

"Rong Di suddenly invaded my border, and the princes did not only mean to protect the border and secure the people, but to fight out and destroy Rong Di's main force."

"The military department has high hopes for the general, so this time to conquer Rong Di, the general is the vanguard of breaking Di!"

When the soldiers on the side heard this, their faces were full of joy, the imperial court was going to use troops against Rong Di, and it meant that they were going to counterattack back, and the future would be a continuous war.

The second prince was shocked, but his face became embarrassed again, and he said: "Marshal, although his subordinates have the heart to fight to the Rongdi royal court, but they have more than enough strength and no soldiers in their hands, and I also ask the marshal to allocate a few battalions of soldiers for transfer." ”

"This is natural, five battalions of soldiers will be transferred first, a total of 20,000 horses will be at your disposal."

"Marshal Xie!"

The second prince hugged his fists.

The sunlight shone on his armor, so that Xu Boyan couldn't see for a moment whether the expression on the second prince's face was secretly smiling or something else.....

gave the second prince a talisman, Xu Boyan said: "Three days later, our army will officially conquer Rong Di, and the general of Zhengbei will come up with a plan in advance, and the commander will look at it." ”

"Yes!"

.....

"Xiangye, I got into those Qin troops just now and listened to them say something." At noon, when the convoy was suspended, Hou Ji ran over with a gun on his back.

"What's the matter?"

"I heard that the northern border of Qin was smashed by Rong Di, this time Rong Di came fiercely, the Qin army was defenseless, and there was no rear supply of grain and grass, several cities were surrounded by Rong Di, Rong Di wanted to slaughter the city, not a single one was left."

Chen Chao frowned, it stands to reason that it shouldn't be, the Qin army's combat strength is the top among several countries, how could it be beaten like this by Rong Di?

But after thinking about it for a while, Chen Chao figured it out a little.

Now, the Qin State is in the midst of civil strife, and the generals of the Qin State are guarding against each other, even if they see the fall of the northern border, the nearby cities will not go to support, and they all want to protect themselves.

On the side of the capital Xianyang, it is even more impossible to support, only urging the front to resist the Rong Di army, the slogan is shouted, in fact, there is not a single soldier, or even a grain of rice sent to the north.

Coupled with the suddenness of Rong Di's attack this time, the Qin State was defeated so badly.

"Xiangye, Qin Guo won't be pierced by Rong Di all the way and hit Xianyang, right?" Hou Ji was faintly worried.

"This is not going to happen, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, the Qin State is still martial, and all the people are soldiers, Rong Di will find out that something is wrong after a while, and the two sides will fall into a stalemate."

Chen Chao sighed and said:

"It's none of our business, but it's good to ask for more information."

"Okay, Xiangye, I'll go."

Chen Chao waved his hand, and Hou Ji went to give full play to his specialty of making friends, mixing in the group of Qin soldiers, talking and laughing, and quickly mingled.

After resting for a while, the convoy immediately set off, Chen Chaogang rode on the horse, and a hearty laugh came:

"Chen Xiang, my Chen Xiang, why do you have a sad face, come, drink, your Daji's Nanshan pure brew is strong enough!"

Meng Leopard rode on horseback, holding a wine jar in his hand, his cheeks were black and purple, and he was drunk and parallel to Chen Chao.

It was hard for the Chen Dynasty to imagine that the northern border of the Qin State was about to be destroyed by Rong Di, and this generalissimo of the Qin State was still drinking and almost drunk into a mess.

Chen Chao waved his hand and refused the wine jar handed over by Meng Bao.

"Such a good wine, Chen Xiang didn't even drink it?"

"Anyway....."

Meng Bao lifted the wine jar and took a sip of the can, his face turned even redder.

Seeing this scene, Chen Chao admired:

"Generalissimo Montay is really a man of temperament!"

"Good amount of alcohol!"

"The Generalissimo likes to drink?"

When he went to Xianyang, Chen Chao didn't know the bottom in his heart, but looking at Meng Bao's not very good brain, this person may be a breakthrough.

Chen Chao might as well extract some useful information from him.

"Of course I do!" Speaking of wine, the drunk man suddenly became interested, patted the wine jar in his hand, and said to Chen Chao:

"Your wine is good, it's just too expensive."

Chen Chao smiled: "The generalissimo likes it, and when the prime minister returns to China, he will send someone to send a few big cars over, no, dozens of cars...... The generalissimo's wine in this life is all covered! ”

Meng Leopard's face was suddenly overjoyed, and he who had always been a heavy drinker hurriedly stretched out his head and asked, "Is this true?" ”

"It's true!"

"Hahahaha, you brother, I confessed ....."

If you weren't in a hurry, I'm afraid you would burn yellow paper on the spot and worship the handle.
