"Zhang Ruo, the prefect of the Shu region, came to give a memorial half a month ago, saying that the third batch of grain and grass would be sent to Chencang later. Since then, there has been no news from there."
"Sigh~"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone present gasped in unison.
No matter how stupid a person is, he knows something must have happened in Bashu.
"Come here, urgent report from [-] miles away, summon Meng Ao to lead an army of [-] to return to Xianyang!
"Send another [-]-mile urgent report to Hexi, ordering Wang Ling to lead an army of [-] to go south!
"Also, send a message to the two counties of Ba and Shu, asking them to quickly gather troops and horses, and defend the city. Anyone who dares to fight without authorization, beheaded!"
However, just as Qin Wangzheng issued the order, there was a rush of footsteps in the distance.
"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Hangu Pass for [-] miles!"
Chapter 238 The Bad News
"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Hangu Pass for [-] miles!"
Zhao Gao hurriedly went down to receive the urgent report, and respectfully delivered it to Long An.
Qin Wangzheng took it over to take a look, and finally there was a change in the expression that had been silent all along.
He raised his head, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then said lightly:
"Everyone, the coalition forces retreat."
"what?"
However, before His Highness and everyone could be happy, Qin Wangzheng continued.
"Also, General Meng died in battle."
"what?"
As soon as this remark came out, a stone immediately stirred up waves, and the entire court was blown up.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. General Meng has experienced countless bloody battles in his life, how could he die so easily?"
"Is it because of the enemy's conspiracy?"
"How is Hangu Pass now? Could it be that the Allied Forces of the Six Nations fought back?"
There was a mess in the court hall, and there was annoyance until a thin voice sounded.
"quiet!"
Zhao Gao's voice was not loud, but it could be heard clearly in everyone's ears.
The hall returned to silence, and the majestic voice came from the throne again.
"The Allied Forces of the Six Nations have indeed retreated, there is no doubt about it.
"Old General Meng was ambushed when he was chasing the Wei people, and was killed by an arrow.
"These are not important anymore, now let's discuss the matter of Nanzheng.
"If you have any opinions, dear friends, please speak out.
"Father Zhong, what do you think?"
Being pointed out by Ying Zheng, Lu Buwei had no choice but to stand up and express his opinion.
"The second of the three great tiger generals of the Great Qin Dynasty has gone, and now there is only one Wang Lu, which has a great impact on the morale of the army.
"As a matter of safety, I think that the troops from Hangu Pass should not be transferred any more, and only [-] troops from the west of Hexi should be transferred to the south."
After Qin Wangzheng listened, he did not comment, but looked at Lord Changping.
"Mr. Changping, what's your opinion?"
"Your minister and Xiangbang have the same ideas. In addition, since General Wang Ling is going to lead the army south, Hexi cannot be without generals for a day. I suggest transferring General Fan Yuqi to Hexi."
Qin Wangzheng still did not comment, and looked at Wang Wan again.
"Wang Wan..."
"I thought that..."
Under Qin Wangzheng's questioning one by one, everyone in the hall expressed their opinions, which were roughly the same as those of Lu Buwei and Lord Changping.
Finally, Qin Wangzheng looked at Wang Jian.
"Wang Jian, tell me your opinion."
"I thought the original plan should be maintained, and [-] elites were transferred from Hangu Pass back to Beijing."
As soon as Wang Jian finished speaking, he was immediately criticized by the ministers.
"It's just nonsense. There are only [-] troops left in Hangu Pass, and [-] will be dispatched. If the six kingdoms of the Kanto region spy out the truth, Hangu Pass will be in danger!"
"That's right, and the two old generals Lu and Meng just died, and the morale of the army is in turmoil. It's time for General Wang to clean up the morale of the army. It's better to be quiet than to move at this time."
However, Qin Wangzheng raised his hand to stop everyone from speaking, and stared at Wang Jian.
"Give your reasons."
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Cao Chao's strength is unfathomable, and his ability to command troops is even more comparable to that of Lord Wu An.
"The last general thinks that even if he fights with an army of [-], he may not be able to reap benefits. If there are only [-], he will definitely lose. This is one of them."
"Secondly, the death of the two old generals will indeed have a certain impact on morale, but my old Qin people have never been afraid of fighting, let alone fighting. They will only turn grief and anger into strength, and the mourning soldiers will win!"
"well said!"
With a flash of light in the tiger's eyes, Qin Wangzheng stood up abruptly from the throne.
"Jiu Jiu, old Qin, went to the country's calamity together, never shed blood, never stopped fighting!
"To the west is the Great Qin, rising like the sun, and Qin has sharp warriors, who will fight for the front!
"The more critical the time is, I, Da Qinyue, will not back down!"
Speaking of this, Qin Wangzheng stood up from the throne and looked around.
The majestic eyes swept over the faces of every minister.
The ministers bowed their heads one after another, and no one dared to look at him.
"Here's an order, Wang Jian will lead an army of [-] in this campaign against Han.
"In addition, I will also give you the [-] iron eagle warriors in the palace, a total of [-] troops.
"The widow has only one request, and that is to see the head of Cao Chao's head as soon as possible!"
As soon as this remark came out, it immediately aroused fierce opposition from the people in the court.
"Your Majesty can't!"
"Wang Jian's qualifications are still young, how can He De take on this heavy responsibility."
However, Qin Wangzheng ignored those ministers, not even looking at Lu Buwei and Lord Changping, and took out the tiger talisman from the dragon case and threw it down the jade steps.
"Wang Jian Connecting Talisman!"
"My lord, I will definitely take off the head of Cao Chao for the king!"
"good!"
……
Outside Nanzheng City, the Qin army camp.
Cai He was leaning on the handsome seat, holding a wine cup in one hand, and was drinking wine depressedly.
Today is the fifth day of the siege, but there is still no progress.
There were several times when they clearly attacked the top of the city, and they were about to take it down, but they were all defeated by the Xiandeng dead soldiers without exception, and finally fell short.
"Damn it!"
The more Cai He thought about it, the more angry he became, and he threw away the wine jue in his hand.
"If it weren't for the first soldier to climb up, I would have taken Nanzheng long ago!
"I don't accept it, so Cao Chao just jumped on the clown Liang, why can he have such an elite teacher!
"He doesn't deserve it!"
However, just as Cai He was sulking, there was a sudden noise outside the tent.
The curtain was suddenly lifted, and a group of people rushed in with a whoosh.
When Cai He saw the leader, he exclaimed:
"Why did you come here?"
Chapter 239 Don't Come Here
Seeing more than a dozen people suddenly pouring in from outside, Cai He immediately became angry.
Could it be that the guards outside were so dead that they dared to let people in without a notification.
However, when he saw the leader, he was immediately surprised.
"Mr. Zhang, why don't you guard the water village well? What are you doing here?"
"Hmph, Cai He, you are greedy for meritorious deeds and caused many innocent soldiers to die tragically. How dare you ask me?"
Zhang Ruoyi said solemnly: "Come here, take this person down for me, take him to Xianyang and hand it over to the imperial court!"
"Zhang Ruo, do you dare to touch me?"
Hearing that he was going to be arrested, Cai He laughed angrily.
He is a member of Lu Buwei's prime minister, and he is from aristocratic background, but Zhang Ruo's background is lowly, and he has no backing, who will give him the courage to provoke him?
"Hmph! This old man enforces the law impartially, why doesn't he dare to touch you?
"Come on, take it!"
"promise!"
