Chapter 149: The Battle of the Border City
Yang Quanjun saw that the atmosphere was good, so he was happy: "How about it? tonight in my house, let's not get drunk, how about it?"
"Refreshing!Haha, then, we're all welcome! It's a pity, that old guy from Yingqi isn't here, otherwise, let's drink it interesting!"
Subsequently, they also slipped away, and the entire Qin Palace suddenly became deserted, but it was even more solemn, as if this was its true color: loneliness!
King Xiang of Qin Zhuang told the real princess about Yingzheng and them, and then said worriedly: "Ancestor, why did I say that Zheng'er was so bold, and dared to go deep into the hinterland of the Xiongnu to fight? I asked the heralds, and he said that Zheng'er went first, and later, Li Zhen, oh, a guy who doesn't know what kind of, took ten young generals to the prairie, and then they took the nest of a small tribe! Strange, what kind of battle are they fighting?"
Princess Yuyi next to her smiled: "King, this Li is really the apprentice of General Han and Princess Taiping, and his swordsmanship is very high, I heard that he is the only apprentice personally accepted by my ancestor, and he seems to know the art of war!"
She hurriedly explained, lest the two of them worry: now, she is also relieved, with Li Zhen here, then, Wang Zizheng will be in no danger at all, because it is a god-like existence!
When King Xiang of Qin Zhuang heard this, he was stunned again: I see, no wonder, that old guy from Yingqi actually agreed that Zheng'er was messing around, with Li Zhen here, it should be no problem, right?
"Great King, you should be able to rest assured! Since Li Zhen is by Zheng'er's side, then, let's let go of our hands and feet and let Zheng'er fight boldly! If this battle is won, he will be fully qualified to be the crown prince of our Great Qin!"
Subsequently, the two went to cook wine and food, so that King Xiang of Qinzhuang enjoyed a sumptuous dinner, and he returned to the palace satisfied!
When he returned to the palace, Lü Buwei came, as if he had something to say, he didn't even let him go at night, and came to disturb his dreams again!
He was a little impatient, and sighed: "Prime Minister, it's evening, let's all go back and rest, how about it? I'm almost drunk, hey, my ancestor's wine and food are so delicious, haha, even the Korean princess is there with her! Okay, let's talk about something tomorrow!"
He couldn't help but give an eviction order: This Lu Buwei is just annoying, as if this Qin State is actually his! If it weren't for the bad things of Zhao Guo at the beginning, he wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to him, but, after all, he had helped himself once at that time, and he had to give him three points of thin noodles no matter what!
"The king, it's a trivial matter! Today's opportunity is so good, why doesn't the king immediately appoint the prince as the crown prince? Be careful that the night is long and there are many dreams!" Lu Buwei looked nervous again.
King Xiang of Qin Zhuang sighed: "Prime Minister, this Zheng'er is not in Xianyang, he is fighting, right? At this time, what will others think of him? Besides, the war situation is complicated, in case, Zheng'er has an accident, what should we do? So, let's wait until this battle is over! Okay, the widow is tired, I want to rest, and the Prime Minister will go back to rest early!"
He deliberately hung Lu Buwei's appetite!
Who doesn't know that he wants to make Yingzheng the crown prince too much? Why? Could it be that Zheng'er was also born in Handan? Strange!
Could it be that he really had something to do with Zhao Ji? Could it be that the rumor was true? However, Zheng'er didn't look like Lu Buwei at all?
If you want to say who Zheng'er looks like, it looks a little like a real princess who lives freely, is it true that Zheng'er's appearance is atavistic to her ancestors?
Of course, Zheng'er is also three points like himself, he must be his own child!
This Lu Buwei is too enthusiastic, what kind of strange goods can he live in? I don't know what he wants to do?
Forget it, this matter is up to the old ancestor, she won't harm Daqin! Besides, she is the real decider of Daqin, even her own father doesn't dare to disobey her, let alone herself!
When Lu Buwei still wanted to speak, he had already taken the lead in going back to the palace to rest, and he didn't even look at him!
This time, Lü Buwei was deflated in front of King Xiang of Qin Zhuang for the first time, and his face was naturally a little ugly, but he also knew that this was his own doing, and he was too anxious!
When he returned to the mansion, Meng Fu was still waiting for him, and when he saw that Lu Buwei was back, he smiled: "Prime Minister, if it's okay, I'll take my leave, I'll send troops in three days, on the border of Qin and Wei, in case Xinlingjun takes advantage of people's danger!"
"Well, it's not a big deal, I just want to ask you, the general, what is the strategy of the prince and the government? Is it possible to solve our crisis? Will our Li Mu come over?" Lu Buwei was a little unconfident.
Meng Fu was surprised, thought for a while, and then smiled, what's wrong with Xiang Ye? Haha, this is not like Xiang Ye's style! Wang Zizheng's strategy is fantastic, but we are definitely going to fight a big battle with the Huns! Li Mu, that kid is very good, he won't start a war with us at this time, he is even more afraid of our revenge! However, both of us have scruples, haha, so, Xiang Ye rest assured! It's just that in terms of grain and grass, Xiang Ye is going to be wasted, we are going to fight with Wei easily, but with the Huns, I'm afraid it's a little protracted!
"Ah, is there any danger to the prince's government?" As soon as he said this, Lu Buwei became nervous again.
Only then did Meng Fu understand: It turned out that Lu Xiangye was most nervous about Wang Zizheng, could it be that the rumors were true?
Thinking of this, his heart tightened, and then he hurriedly comforted him: "Xiangye, this auspicious person has his own natural appearance, besides, we have more than 200,000 troops in the border city, and the Huns can't take advantage!"
"Alas, I'm afraid I'm afraid that this kid Zheng'er is reckless, you didn't see their report that he took the initiative to go to the prairie to provoke, what does this kid want to do?"
But he fell into confusion: What does this politician want to do? Liwei, or do you want to lead the army? This is the best, haha, as long as he has military power, won't the whole country be in their hands?
When he thought of this, his eyes lit up!
Meng Fu smiled: "Wang Zizheng definitely wants to be powerful in the army, after this battle, I am afraid that those young generals will take him as the head of the horse, haha, congratulations to Xiangye, Meng Fu retired!"
Seeing Lu Buwei's happy face, he hurriedly said goodbye, but he was uneasy in his heart, but he also had three points of joy: At least, Meng Tian has a very good relationship with Wang Zizheng, and he is still Wang Zizheng's second brother, isn't it wonderful? By the way, those beauties of the Meng family are also going to participate in the beauty pageant, haha!
At the same time as they were detailed, the offensive and defensive battle of the border city of the Qin State had quietly begun, and this was already the tenth day after Yingzheng returned from their grassland raid!
Although the Huns were strong, the time for them to mobilize their troops far exceeded the expectations of the generals of the Qin State!
They originally thought that the Huns had suffered a loss and would definitely come to invade Qin and Zhao immediately, and according to the speed of the Hun cavalry, they would reach Qin and Liancheng in three days at most! But they did not expect that it was not until ten days later that the Huns' cavalry reached the border of Qin, and they did not dare to attack the city directly!
Why is that?
Seeing this scene, Ying Zheng was a little puzzled, and hurriedly asked Ying Qi, with a puzzled face, as if he couldn't see through the Huns' moves, according to his understanding: The soldiers are fast, and the other party is so procrastinating, don't you want to retaliate?
"Alas, Wang Zizheng, we are about to face a big battle! Obviously, the other side did not come to attack us in time, not because they did not want to retaliate, but because they wanted to make sufficient preparations, and perhaps, they would attack in a big way in three days! It seems that this time we must be prepared to hold the border city for a long time, and we don't know if the grain and grass on the Xianyang side can be replenished in time! However, the prince can rest assured, I have sent Yingcheng and Yinghu to be in charge of the grain and grass!" Yingqi hurriedly replied.
It seems that this prince did not understand the military affairs thoroughly enough: although the Huns were cavalry, their residences were relatively scattered, so they took much longer to gather troops than they thought!
At the same time, he also talked about the shortcomings of the Huns, and emphasized the protracted and cruel nature of this war, so that he should be mentally prepared! lest after fighting for a long time, this prince and Zheng will not feel a pain in his heart, and make the stupid moves of King Zhao Xiaocheng, then the Qin State will be in trouble!
After speaking, his face was already uneasy, for fear that Yingzheng would be unhappy, but this time, he knew that everything was said and everything was said!
Ying Zheng was already overjoyed when he heard it, and when he finished speaking, he smiled: "Haha, my uncle really deserves to be the backbone of my Great Qin, listening to my uncle's words, Zheng'er is really like reading a book for ten years! Okay, very good, how to fight this battle, it will be commanded by the old general himself, and this prince will take the throne, only care about military discipline, and will never interfere! However, if my senior brother Li really has an idea, please uncle don't interfere with the actions of our team, how about it?"
He relinquished the power this time, and at the same time, he also hoped that Yingqi would let him go free, although he had good intentions, but, they preferred to go to the grassland to fight, and there should be a chance to hit the Huns hard!
"Ah!" Ying Qi was so shrewd, he could see through his mind at a glance: this prince obviously wants to go to the prairie to play, but now that the other party has come to the city, isn't it very dangerous?
When he wanted to persuade again, Ying Zheng had already smiled: "Uncle, you can rest assured, haha! This prince's life is very big, and the people of Zhao Guo don't want to get this prince's life, hehe, the Huns are even more impossible! Hehe, I have a super bodyguard, as soon as I, Senior Brother Li Zhen, comes out, who in the world will dare to stop it?"
"Yes, but, prince, you must be careful! It's best to bring Meng Tian, Wang Qian, and our little generals, well, Yingcheng and them will follow you! I'll find two other old generals to escort grain and grass!" Ying Qi thought about it and finally agreed to his request.
Ying Zheng was very happy and smiled: "Okay, happy, thank you General! In a while, let's toast you!"
After speaking, they smiled heartily with Li Zhen, and they all showed a mysterious smile! It seems that they are determined to go to the prairie for a few more laps and play with the Huns non-stop!
At this moment, news suddenly came from the city: "General, the Huns are ready to attack the city!"
"Huh! So fast?" When Yingqi heard this, he was shocked, immediately put on his helmet, and went up to the city tower to prepare to command the attack on the Huns, Yingzheng and Li Zhen were no exception, and even, the two of them had rushed to the front.
Ying Qi looked at it, and when he was about to persuade him, Ying Zheng had already smiled: "General, please command the battle, we are all the most ordinary soldiers! My soldiers of Great Qin, this prince will kill the enemy with you! Are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid, not afraid, not afraid!"
"Don't be afraid, not afraid, not afraid!"
"Don't be afraid, not afraid, not afraid!"
......
When the soldiers of the Qin State heard this, they were all excited, and they immediately shouted, and at the same time, they had already opened their bows and arrows, ready to meet the Hun cavalry!
The Huns have surrounded it, at least 50,000 people have come, and at the same time, they have sacrificed siege weapons, and they have also prepared ladders, ropes and other climbing tools!
At the same time, their archers were also in formation, divided into two tiers, which could shoot arrows in turn, with at least three thousand archers on each floor, and there were still countless substitute archers on the periphery, ready to take over the casualties.
Seeing this, Ying Zheng smiled: "This Hun is really majestic, all of them are much bigger than us, and their waists are also very thick, hehe, we may not be able to take advantage of them without a sword! I don't know how their archery skills are? Haha, we are condescending, we should have the upper hand!"
"Prince, don't poke your head out too much, our archers are all a foot away from the city wall, let the city wall block the enemy's flying arrows first, we can't be the target of the other party!" Wang Jian had already hurriedly pulled Ying Zheng away from the position close to the city wall.
At this time, the Xiongnu had already begun to attack the city, and thousands of arrows had already struck like a storm, and one of them just happened to wipe Yingzheng's face and roared past!
All of a sudden, the surrounding soldiers were shocked and felt strange: What is the matter with this prince? Could it be that he can't fight? Like a new soldier, he has no experience!
Seeing this, Yingzheng smiled: "The Huns' arrows can't shoot this prince, haha, this prince just wants to see how powerful the Huns are!" Meng Tian and Wang Qian, you two will be the escorts for this prince, so that this prince can see clearly how the Huns attacked the city!"
It seems that he is getting more and more excited, and he is close to the city walls to watch the battle!
Meng Tian and Wang Jian sighed unconsciously, and immediately drew their swords to block the arrows for him! This time, he looked more carefully, and even the other party's posture and movements could be seen clearly, and even the expressions on his faces could be read.
After watching it for a while, he was satisfied and smiled: "Which of you knows the Xiongnu language? Tell them that Prince Ben is watching them shoot arrows in the city, haha, ask them to shoot on time!"
Then, a soldier beside him immediately shouted to the Xiongnu in Xiongnu: "Hey, Huns, your archery level is too poor! Our prince is in the city, he wants you to shoot on time, haha!"
"Haha! haha!" All the Qin soldiers in the city laughed, as if they were deliberately provoking the Huns!
Sure enough, when the general of the Huns saw it, he was immediately furious, and immediately waved the long sword in his hand: "Warriors, give it to me, get closer, and shoot the prince of Qin!"
