Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 143

Chapter 143

On the mountain road to the east of Lintao, looking at the fire in the city behind him, the young Weng Zhong who came to his senses dropped the giant spear in his hand and sat on the spot howling.

Of the 3000 flying cavalry, only more than 3 people escaped in the end, and of the more than 5000 people in the county, only more than [-] people survived.The vast majority of people are trapped in the city. Facing hundreds of thousands of Hu people, the fate of these people can be imagined.

Seeing his sad look, Longxi County Sheriff helplessly patted his shoulder.

The old man Zhong got drunk and made a mistake and lost important places. As a county guard, he also has an unshirkable responsibility.

Going back by luck, even if His Majesty the Emperor doesn't deal with him, I'm afraid he's done his job as an official.

He is a serious old Qin man who loves his land deeply.

Longxi was originally the root of the old Qin people, now losing this heel, for him, is more uncomfortable than killing him.

Xiao Weng Zhong stood up abruptly, picked up the giant spear on the ground and wiped away his tears, before going back.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to avenge my father and kill all these Huns thieves."

"Nonsense! The first thing you need to do now is to quickly inform Xianyang of this news. If Longxi falls, if Xianyang is unprepared, the whole Guanzhong may be in danger!"

Xiao Weng Zhong was still struggling, and he slapped him with his first hand.

Standing together, this pair is extremely disharmonious.

Standing in front of Xiao Weng Zhong, the sheriff is as weak as a child.

Now with a slap in the face, the governor of Longxi felt a little flustered.If Xiao Weng Zhong went crazy, facing his physique, would he be able to resist?

Xiao Weng Zhong, who was in grief, if he went crazy, what would happen to him?

But even if it is death, he must do so.

Because Xiao Weng Zhong is the backbone of everyone now, if he does something reckless, everyone will have to pay for him.

The price may be life.

"Do you want the name Weng Zhong to be shamed? Old Weng Zhong sacrificed his life for the country and died a worthy death. But as his son, you must also shoulder the responsibilities of an imperial soldier. The Huns' cavalry are raging, and all the army's cavalry are in northern Xinjiang. If you don't stop it, once the Huns occupy Guanzhong, even if you die, what face will you have to meet your father?"

When Xiao Weng Zhong heard this, he was like a deflated ball, unable to jump up again.

Seeing his distraught appearance, the county guard persuaded him again: "The disaster victims and soldiers need you, and you must bring them back to their hometown alive."

Xiao Wengzhong glanced at the sheriff and nodded heavily.

Lintao fell, and many cities in Longxi fell within a few days.

Although there are still 3 flying cavalry, without Weng Zhong and his son, many soldiers are scattered.

In addition, Touman used all the crossbows in Lintao City that the Qin army had no time to take away in the war.In the way of his own people, he treated his own body. The quality of the Xiongnu soldiers was already better than that of the Qin army. Now with these weapons, they have no resistance and can only hold their hands.

When the news reached Xianyang, Guanzhong was shocked.

Longxi is an important border area of ​​Qin State, once it is lost, Xianyang will have no danger to defend.

On normal days, the hundreds of thousands of troops in the Lantian camp would be enough to resist.

But now, there are only [-] veterans left in the Lantian camp, and it will take a lot of time to mobilize the various troops guarding the Central Plains to enter Guanzhong.

In Zhangtai Palace, Prince Fusu summoned all civil and military officials to discuss the emergency military situation.

"Sir, according to reports from insiders, the key to the fall of Longxi was that Weng Zhong drank too much at night, and tens of thousands of soldiers lost their guard, and were eventually attacked by the Huns. I believe that Weng Zhong must be punished severely." Prime Minister Li Si said righteously.

"No!" Feng Jie, the censor next to him, stood up and objected. "Young master, Weng Zhong and his son guarded Longxi for several times. They made outstanding contributions. At the beginning of the battle, they killed tens of thousands of Xiongnu soldiers. On the night of the Huns' night attack, Weng Zhong died in the battle for Lintao. It is useless to find out whose fault it is now. I believe that not only should we not pursue his faults, but we should use Weng Zhong's son to act as his father's surrogate, gather defeated troops from all walks of life in Longxi, and find a way to keep the Xiongnu soldiers out of Guanzhong."

Fusu nodded upon hearing this.

"Feng Yushi is right. Right now is really not the time to pursue responsibility. Before the father left, he handed over the Guanzhong to me and you, which means that he is very relieved of us. Right now, the Huns traveled from Shangjun to Longxi cunningly. Sneak attack, if we don't keep the enemy out of Guanzhong, what face will we have to meet Emperor Father?"

"I would like to listen to you, Master." All the civil and military soldiers clapped their hands together.

"There are still more than [-] defeated troops in Longxi. Pass on my son's order. Weng Zhong's son will temporarily lead his father's army to find a way to resist the enemy's eastward advance in the mountains of Longxi. Even if it can't be stopped, we must find a way to delay the time."

"Quickly mobilize the defenders of Nanyang, Yingchuan, Sanchuan, Shangdang, and Hedong counties to reinforce Guanzhong, and add the remaining troops of our Lantian Camp to try to gather 20 troops. At that time, I will lead it personally and fight with the Xiongnu It's a fight to the death."

Meng Yi stood up and asked: "Young Master, Your Majesty's army is in Shangjun, which is the closest to Guanzhong. Why do you want to move the army from the Central Plains?"

The key to the various armies deployed by the Qin State in the Central Plains was to rely on these soldiers to deter the remote families of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong from acting rashly.

Now that all the armies are suddenly mobilized to return to Guanzhong, the Central Plains is empty. If there are three advantages and two disadvantages, it will be detrimental to the rule of the Central Plains.

But Fusu shook his head: "20 troops are enough to fight the Huns to the death, so why does the emperor need to mobilize troops and horses to rescue them? Besides, the troops in Shangjun's camp have been divided into three groups, and there are only [-] soldiers in the camp at this moment. , if the Huns have a backup, the safety of the father is unpredictable."

After finishing speaking, Fusu stood up and looked at the worried civil and military personnel in front of him, and comforted him: "You are all the ministers of my great Qin who can conquer and fight well. At the beginning, I assisted my father to pacify the six kingdoms of Shandong. Now it is no problem to defeat the little Xiongnu. On this occasion When the country is in crisis, I hope that everyone can twist into one rope and deal with the invading enemy together."

As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military officials also knew that Fusu was determined and had no intention of repenting.Even though they have objections, as Fusu said for many reasons, the land of Daibei is more important. If both sides are empty, it will be difficult for Qin to conquer in a few years.

"Jijiu Lao Qin, go to the national disaster together."
