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

Chapter 270 National Mourning
Chapter 270 National Mourning
"Why?" Ying Zheng looked at the people in front of him with dissatisfaction on their faces.

"My minister believes that there are three things that cannot be done in person. First, Your Majesty is the core of the Qin State, and Xianyang is the center of the Qin State. If both are present, the country will be stable, and if there is a slight movement, the country will be unstable. Second, even if the enemy army breaks the military Guan, but there are at most tens of thousands of bandits, and I still have no less than 40 elite soldiers in the Guanzhong area. Even if the enemy army counts as ten, our army can still fight. Third, the restoration forces of the Six Kingdoms are hiding in the dark. If your majesty leaves Xianyang, it will be difficult to protect Will there be any problems, besides, didn't your majesty let the son come back first! You can lead the troops to fight on your behalf."

Although Ying Gang is young, in the hearts of many courtiers, he seems to be Qin's firefighting teammate.

Although there had been no precedent for a son supervising the army in the Qin state for a long time, Yingzheng resumed this old system since he helped Su.

But things backfired, Fusu's sudden betrayal made Yingzheng's heart sink.

His son is not caring to him, who else can he trust in the whole court?
"Your Majesty, Lord Meng Yi is right. I hope your Majesty will adopt it."

Ying Zheng nodded helplessly, and the aura on his body also dissipated. He looked at the people in front of him and said, "Forget it, that's all. In that case, let's call Yang Duanhe, Zhao Tuo, and Ren Xiao first."

Zheng Lun quickly went to deliver the decree, even though it was already night, how dare they not come if His Majesty called them urgently.

Not long after, the three of them came to Zhangtai Palace to meet the emperor.

"See Your Majesty!"

Ying Zheng looked at the three people in front of him, and said directly and firmly: "I think you have all heard the news that the Chu army has violated the border. I have decided to let Ying Gang take command, but before he returns, I plan to let the three of you go temporarily." Command the Lantian battalion, temporarily block the invading Chu army."

Yang Duan and the three of them were taken aback when they heard this.

Chu State has come to Guanzhong?

But they also knew that this was not the time to talk, so they all took orders and retreated.

Wuguan, connected to Shangyu in the north and Nanjun in the south, is the throat position stuck between Chu State and Qin State.

The land in Guanzhong to the west of Hangu Pass, including Da Qin, has always been considered by the Central Plains countries to be the land of the Western Barbarians, and there is no lack of contempt in their words. Even though Da Qin later became the most powerful existence among the seven kingdoms, although they were afraid, But this kind of disdain still exists in the hearts of the Central Plains countries.

In 516 BC, the Zhou royal family was in turmoil. The princes were keen to compete for power. The wars were frequent and the people were in dire straits. Lao Tzu, revered as the patriarch of Taoism, was very disappointed with the Zhou family, so he decided to resign and go west.

Yin Xi, the commander of Hangu Pass, saw Zi Qi coming from the east, and sure enough a few days later I arrived riding an ox.

Since the old Qin tribe established itself as a vassal state, for many years, this Hangu Pass has been the gate of Qin's national destiny.

With Hangu Pass in hand, the people of old Qin would be calm and composed, fearless in every way.Losing Hangu Pass, the Qin people in the Guanzhong area are like facing the enemy's spears and swords with their chests exposed, and the whole country is nervous.

As for Wuguan, as the southern gate of Qin State, it has never shown its value before.

But the last coalition of princes attacked, the Wei army went straight from Wuguan to Guanzhong, and it was tens of miles away from Xianyang.Only then did Qin State's emphasis on Wuguan rise to a higher level.

Ying Zheng, who was riding Heidian in black soft armor and a black gold woven cloak, looked back and saw the majestic tall city wall that suddenly appeared between the mountains in the distance and pierced the sky!

Yingzheng is already a light car, and he doesn't need anything like the emperor's ceremonial guard, but with the more than [-] accompanying guards, as well as the children of the Ying clan and the Wang clan who came here after receiving the edict of Yingzheng, the total is There are also nearly ten thousand people.

Under the obstruction of all civil and military forces, he had no choice but to take the opportunity of mourning Wang Jian outside Xianyang City to inspire people.

For no other reason than to commemorate Wang Jian who sacrificed his life for the country.

Once upon a time, hundreds of thousands of allied troops of the Wei State entered Guanzhong, and Xianyang was in danger. It was Wang Jian who successfully blocked the enemy army, which resolved the crisis.

Now, the old man is gone, but Qin is facing the same problem, and Ying Zheng feels very heavy.

Therefore, when the emperor traveled, although Yingzheng saved the necessary cumbersome guards of honor, the flags and flags were still unfurled. As Yingzheng's brigade moved forward, endless sacrificial incense tables began to be placed on both sides of the road.Long streamers of white cloth fluttering in succession.

On both sides of the avenue, they followed the Yingzheng brigade all the way.All kinds of people who didn't know or knew or were not sure whether Wang Jian was really martyred and whether Daqin was really defeated by Xiang Yu were all shocked at this moment!
Although the powerful enemy is right ahead, the number of civilians, traveling businessmen and people with some other ideas who came with the brigade has accumulated to more than [-].

Hundreds of thousands of people are crowded on both sides of the road, and if someone with a heart drives them, it will cause serious trouble if they are not careful.

But these people are extremely calm, even heavy.

In the middle of the avenue is a simple carriage, Yang Xiong and seventeen guards and captains are guarding the simple but solemn coffin on the carriage!Inside the coffin are the remains of Marquis Wucheng and General Wang Jian wrapped in ice!

Xin Sheng personally holds a three-foot-high black banner that is hunting in the wind. On the flag, there is a line of white characters "Wucheng Hou Wangjian", and in the center of the black banner are four large white characters-"Soul Returns to Homeland"

Although the armors of the two armies on both sides of the avenue are different, they have two things in common. One is that most of the soldiers of the two armies hold one or two black clay pots in their hands.

Another similarity is that the two army horses are covered with white flags and are dressed in plain clothes.

Ying Zheng got off his horse and said solemnly!As he spoke, he took off the black gold cloak on his body, and reached out to take the onyx coat handed over by the attendant and put it on his body.

In a moment, the entire army of more than 1 people was completely wiped out!Countless white flags are raised!

Hundreds of thousands of civilians and people of all kinds have gathered outside the city!

Seeing Huobu appearing outside Xianyang City, tens of thousands of Qin soldiers knelt down on one knee and shouted in unison: "Welcome Your Majesty!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Whether willing or unwilling, more than [-] people of all colors gathered outside the pass, bowed and bowed in unison to participate in the different ways!

"You're dead!" Ying Zheng shouted with all his might!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After all the soldiers got up, Ying Zheng walked slowly along the left side of the road.

Standing in the formation on this side are the family members of the soldiers who died in the Battle of Nanyang. Nearly half of the [-] troops were lost. For the Qin State, such a number of casualties was only seen in the battle against Chu.

This is the first time these guards have seen His Majesty the Emperor!

As Ying Zheng approached, these soldiers with broken armor and no nervousness or fear even when facing the fierce enemy charged suddenly became nervous one by one, and unconsciously straightened their bodies even more straightly, holding their weapons. Fingers are slightly whitish.

Ying Zheng walked to the front of a soldier, and gently raised his hand to brush over a freshly scarred finger-length scar on his face. If the scar was halfway off, it would pass through his eyes.

"You all have worked hard, and I thank you all."

After all, Ying Zheng bowed in front of many soldiers.

Such a move immediately stunned everyone.

His Majesty the Emperor actually bowed to them!
