Chapter 27 Return to Qin

On the afternoon of the day, the Wu Palace, which was constantly dancing, finally became pure. Then the King of Qi came out of the palace and shouted angrily, and Mu Ling Pass was lost.

"I would like to remind the king that this battle was because Tian Ying rebelled against Qi and surrendered to the enemy. The Chu people were wearing our Qi army's armor and suddenly attacked and seized the city of Guancheng. The Chu people also had stone-capping weapons. Once this machine was fired, the walls of Guancheng were broken..."

General Tian Luo was reporting in detail the reason for the loss of Muling Pass. The King of Qi became more and more angry as he heard it. Seeing that he was about to attack, the Prime Minister Housheng hurriedly said: "I think this battle is because the general is dereliction of duty. Now that the Chu people have seized Muling Pass, Linzi is no longer safe. I ask the king to return to the capital quickly. Wu Palace is already in danger."

When Hou Sheng said that the King of Qi was in danger, he changed his expression. Wu Palace was northwest of Zibo City. Although it was only a few miles away from Zibo, it was a different palace after all. His anger instantly turned into fear and said, "The Chu army marched so quickly?"

"I would like to tell the king that the Chu army is very profitable and the soldiers are like the wind. Xiang Yan, the general of Chu, led his army into the Qin territory for more than 200 miles when he was fighting with Qin last year. He drove his army to the Qin territory for more than 200 miles, and drove people to kill people. He was unstoppable. I asked the king to return to the capital immediately. In addition to summoning troops from various counties to help the king, he should also send envoys to Qin and ask the Qin people to send troops to attack Chu so that our country can regain Muling Pass." Hou Sheng was not an incompetent person. After saying this, everyone nodded repeatedly, but did not say that they would send troops to regain Muling Pass.

"Hurry, hurry! Go back to the capital quickly." Forty-seven years ago, King Min of Qi was killed by Chu general Naochi, so his father, King Xiang of Qi, was able to ascend the throne as king. King Jian of Qi had no choice but to ask for punishment and just wanted to return to the capital immediately. On the same day, the envoy who went to Qin for help quickly left the city and hurried to Xianyang.

In fact, according to the previous plan, the Qin and Wei army should have attacked Chu long ago, but because of the sudden fainting of Huayang Queen Mother Mi Ji, the war machine was shut down and stopped rotating. As the operator, the Qin King Zhao Zheng did not think that there was anything wrong with the machine stopping, but the Qi and Wei people who were tied to the machine were crazy.

"Tomorrow, it's tomorrow... When will General Xin arrive tomorrow?" Wei State Changping County, Wei State Prime Minister Ziji came to question Qin general Xin Wu. He came to power because he was close to Qin. If Qin did not attack Chu and negotiate peace with Chu, then his position as prime minister would be lost. "Now Wei and Chu are in a bad situation, the general sits alone. This is what the general said in the past to help me attack Chu?!"

"I will never attack Jing before I get the Xianyang military order!" Xia Riyan, Xin Wu, wearing armor, was sweating all over his head, and he cursed in his heart. But what if he did not have the order, he would be taken over by the military supervisor if he violated the order.

"When will Xianyang come to order?" Zi Ji asked, wishing he could kneel in front of Xin Wu.

"How would I know when Xianyang will come to order?" Xin Wu said angrily.

"If the general only eats Wei but does not attack Chu, our Wei Kingdom will no longer send food and grass to the camp." Zi Ji was also angry, and this was considered as the order to expel guests.

"You dare!" Xin Wu suddenly raised his eyes, "Xianyang strictly ordered me not to attack Jing, but I was not sure that I would attack Wei. If the food and grass are shorter than one cart, I will pull out a city in Wei. If there are ten cars missing, I will surround you! This general will do what he said!"

"You, you!" Zi Ji dared not speak out. Qin State helped Wei attack Chu, and all the cities he had pulled out belonged to Wei State, but the food and supplies needed to be provided by Wei State. Zi Ji thought at that time that he could control the food and grass of the Qin army, the Qin people dared not do anything, but unexpectedly, Xin Wu dared to surround Daliang directly. Sweat came out from his forehead, and Zi Ji's vest was completely wet in an instant.

"Report——!" the military officer shouted outside the shogunate. "Report to General, Xianyang envoy."

When he heard that Xianyang was coming to envoy Xin Wu, he stopped taking care of Zi Ji. Zi Ji also forgot the threat of Xin Wu's red wings just now, and looked at the king envoy who had already entered the palace. Who would have thought that Xin Wu would not want him to stand in the shogunate, "Please ask Wei Xiang to go out, I will handle official duties."

"Why is the king?" Xin Wu, who drove away Zi Ji, asked anxiously, "But is it allowed to attack Jing?"

"The Empress Dowager Huayang was sick, and the king ordered the general to quickly take back his daughter Mi Xuan in Jing State." The king envoy read the imperial edict from Xianyang in person, and then handed the edict to Xin Wu. "General Xin, when he came, the National Guard told him that the Prince Mi was the civil servant of King Jing, and King Jing was in Chencheng."

"Ah?" Xin Wu was shocked. Wang Ling did not allow himself to fight, but wanted to find someone himself. This person was still a civil servant next to King Jing. Chen Cheng was not far away, but only a hundred miles away, but the question was how he took back Mr. Mi from King Jing? "This matter..."

"The Empress Dowager Huayang always loves the young master Mi. If the young master Mi learns that the queen mother is sick, he will return to Qin." The king smiled. "The king does not allow the general to attack Jing, because the queen mother is sick. If the King Jing knows this, he will also send the young master Mi out of the city."

"I dare to ask the envoy Wang, what if I take back Mr. Mi?" Xin Wu asked his most concerned question, that is, whether to fight the war.

In order to attack Chu, Changping stationed hundreds of thousands of Qin and Wei troops, and Shangcai and Jiyi also had 200,000 to 300,000 troops, but the 600,000 or 700,000 troops were all stopped here and remained motionless. The king smiled and was a little embarrassed. He said truthfully: "The king has not said whether to attack Jing or not, I don't know what to do after taking back the young master Mi."

After saying that, he saw Xin Wu disappointed, he said again: "General, the king is pure filial. When the empress dowager is sick, he has to stop attacking Jing. If we serve such a virtuous king, we should be happy as ministers."

"Yes, it's all." Xin Wu had to nod his head while smiling bitterly. He felt that the Chu State would probably not be able to fight. When he sent the king's envoy out of the shogunate and summoned the generals, the generals hung their heads when they heard this, without a good look.

"What can you do if the king's order is like this?" Xin Wu looked at all the generals, especially the right general Li Xin, who was in the limelight, and the left general Wang Jian. "What do you think the two generals?"

Last year, Li Xin led the central army to escape from the defeat. The King of Qin praised it and was regarded as the second king of Wu'an by the Chinese people. Compared to him, the left general Wang Jian just smiled with a smile on his face. The old army was led by the unpretentious old army. If he had not followed Changping Jun's path, he might never be a general in his life. When the chief general asked questions, Wang Jian consciously asked Li Xin to answer, but he kept silent.

"The king is pure and filial. If the queen mother asks the king not to attack Jing, I'm afraid..." Li Xin said bluntly that he wanted to avenge a revenge last year. Unexpectedly, when the queen mother was sick, the king would not want to attack Chu.

"What do you think General Wang?" Xin Wu looked at Wang Jian with a little disgusted look. Fortunately, Wang Jian smiled and was kind to others.

"The king is pure and filial, this is a blessing for Qin. The last general is willing to lead the left army to Chen to welcome the young master Mi to Qin." Wang Jian's answer was unexpected, but he thought that he was from the right prime minister Changpingjun, who was from Chu again. Xin Wu immediately took back his surprise and said, "Since that's the case, let General Wang go there."

"Receive the order!" Wang Jian bowed to Xin Wu, then bowed to Li Xin and others, and then smiled and left the shogunate.

As soon as he left, Xin Wu sighed, "The Jing people are really troublesome!"

Wang Jian and Bai Qi were ranked as famous generals of the Warring States Period, but at this time Wang Jian was just an ordinary county lieutenant in the Qin army. If it were not for the guarantee of Changpingjun, he would have said that he would not have been Xin Wu's left general. Xin Wu was a little disgusted with this person, but when Xiong Jing heard the name Wang Jian, he jumped up from the mat in shock.

"Is it really Wang Jian?" He asked loudly at the person who came.

"Tell the king that the visitor calls himself Wang Jian." The military officer was a little at a loss.

"The king of the Sanheng King, the scissors? Is his son called Wang Ben?" Xiong Jing didn't know that it was Wang Jian who was standing outside the north gate of Chen Ying that led the army to kill Xiang Yan and destroy Chu. He only knew that Wang Jian was one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period.

"King..." The Qin army entered the country, and the wind was heard, even if only a side army came. The king asked so much, and the military officer was very anxious when he answered, and he wanted to go out again and ask in detail.

"The king knows this king?" County Duke Chen Jian is no longer as panicked and helpless as that day. At least the king is still in Chen Ying, and the king is in Chen Ying, so Chen Ying will not be lost.

"I know, I'm still very familiar." Xiong Jing smiled. "Since Wang Jian is here, please ask him to enter the city to tell me."

"Enter the city?" Li Qi shook his head, "King, how can the Qin general enter the city when the two armies are fighting?"

"Tell the king that Wang Jian took the envoy of the King of Qin and said yes, yes..." The king jumped up just now when he heard the word Wang Jian. The military officer thought about it before remembering the words of Qin people, "It is said that the Queen Mother Huayang of Qin was sick and needed to pick up the daughter of Mi Xuan and return to Qin quickly."

"Ah!?" Everyone in the Mingtang was stunned, only Li Qi seemed excited. He whispered loudly: "Report to the king, I know why the Qin people don't attack me anymore. Then the Qin king must be worried about the illness of the Empress Dowager Huayang, so..."

"What did you say!" Xiong Jing waved Li Qi's sleeves, made him shut up, stared at the military officer and asked again. "What about the female lady Mi Xuan?"

"The Qin people said that the Queen Mother Huayang was sick," the king's eyes were very scary, and the voice of the military officers became smaller and smaller. "You need to pick up the young master Mi to return to Qin..."

"Don't think about it!" The military officer was rudely interrupted by Xiong Jing before he finished speaking. "How can the Qin people say that they want people? This is their plan, yes! This must be their plan..."

"King..." Everyone was stunned. Is a little woman worthy of the Qin people's plan?

"The King, the Qin army was in the Wei territory but did not attack me because the Empress Dowager Huayang was sick. If the King should instruct the Princess Mi to tell him to tell the Empress Dowager Huayang, please advise the Empress Dowager Huayang to advise the King of Qin not to attack me." Li Qi was very excited, "In this way, the Qin people will withdraw their troops."

"Blessed by Taiyi God, blessed by Taiyi God..." Chen Jian shivered inexplicably and began to mutter the gods.

"Fuck!" Xiong Jing glared at Li Qie, "If you say you want to withdraw your troops, you will retreat. The Qin people will not die of my desire to perish. How can they be willing to do it, how can they..."

Xiong Jing roared and his eyes floated to another place. It was Mi Xuan dressed in a civil servant. She was in the room, but when she heard Xiong Jing quarrel in the Mingtang, she came out to see it. Who would have thought that she would hear the news that she didn't want to hear the least: Empress Dowager Zu was sick in bed.

"Empress Dowager Zu, Empress Dowager Zu..." Mi Xuan was still crying before she could speak. She sobbed again and then stood there and cried. Xiong Jing couldn't help but step forward and stroke her back gently, not wanting to be hugged by her, and she cried even more miserably.
