"Your Majesty, I, Bai Lijun, pay my respects to Your Majesty!”
"Oh, are you from the old clan?" Ying Ze Jiu's eyes were like torches as he swept his gaze across the general guarding Shen Pass.
Later on, it was because he fell into Zhang Liang's trap and was tempted by Li Shiqi's large amount of gold and treasures that Liu Bang's army bypassed the pass and crossed the mountain to defeat the Qin army.
After that, the pass was broken and Liu Bang's army marched straight in. Qin's third emperor, Ziying, could not cook without rice and had to open the city to surrender.
"Your Majesty, my ancestor is Meng Mingshi.”Bai Lijun replied respectfully.
Ying Zejiu was even more surprised after hearing this. Meng Mingshi, Xi Qishu, and Bai Yibing were the main generals of Qin Mu Gong's era.
He had once led his army to battle with the Jin Country. He had been defeated repeatedly, but he never gave up. In the end, he defeated the Jin army, causing the Qin Country to shock Xirong, gaining twelve countries and expanding thousands of miles.
It could be said that without Meng Mingshi, the Great Qin Empire would not have been reformed.
In reality, Meng Mingshi, whose surname was Bai Li, was the son of Bai Lixi, a famous minister of Great Qin.
He did not expect that this general who had only appeared briefly in history would actually have such a deep background. It was really surprising.
"General Bai Li, how many soldiers are there in Sheng Pass?”
Facing the sharp gaze of the Emperor, a solemn look flashed across Baili Jun's eyes. He bowed to Ying Ze Jiu solemnly and said,""Your Majesty, the Guan Pass is located between Lantian and Wu Pass. Many years ago, it was proposed to be abolished. This is why there are not many defenders."
"The Lantian camp sent three thousand men to Chang Pass a few days ago, and there are now more than ten thousand soldiers inside.”
Hearing this, Ying Ze Jiu could not help but heave a sigh of relief. Wu Pass had not been breached by the rebel army yet, so the ten thousand soldiers guarding Wu Pass were more than enough to defend it.
"General Baili, there are rebels everywhere in the east of the country. Liu Bang's rebels are approaching Wu Pass. As an old Qin man, I don't expect you to take the head of a general among thousands of troops.”
"However, you must guard Sheng Pass well. Behind you are the six million villagers in Sheng Pass. Once the rebel army breaks through the pass, only death awaits them!”
Hearing this, Bai Lijun's expression became even more serious. He knew that the Great Qin Empire had conquered the world countless times and had a deep hatred for the six countries.
Such monstrous hatred could only be washed away by killing.
Once the enemy entered the pass, the old Qin people would have no chance of escaping.
Feeling all sorts of emotions, Baili Jun bowed to Ying Ze Jiu once again and said resolutely,"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I swear to live and die with you!”
"As long as I am here, the Great Qin Empire will not perish.”
Ying Zejiu looked at Baili Jun and said in a deep voice,""What you have to do is to guard the pass well. Don't be deceived by others. Send out sentries in the surrounding mountains and don't allow a bird to fly over the pass.”
"Lantian General Zhang Liao and Material Officer General Gao Shun have led 100,000 troops to Wu Pass to surround and annihilate the rebel army Liu Bang. I have decided to personally lead 5,000 cavalry to attack the enemy's main force and completely break the rebel army's backbone.”
"Do you have the guts to protect the eight hundred miles of fertile land and six million people for me and Great Qin?”
Bai Lijun was a bit dumbfounded. At this moment, his heart was in turmoil and he was unable to extricate himself. He had thought that the new Emperor of Great Qin had come here to defend against the rebel army and defend the pass.
But who would have thought that they would actually be prepared to surround and annihilate the hundreds of thousands of rebel soldiers outside Wu Pass? Moreover, when did General Lan Tian suddenly appear in the Lantian camp with an army of 100,000?
He didn't understand any of this.
Even so, he still patted his chest and said,"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will not disgrace the old Qin people!”
After taking a deep look at Baili Jun, Ying Zejiu patted him on the shoulder and said blandly,""In the past, General Meng Mingshi did not fear danger and destroyed the Jin army. In the end, he won. Today, I hope that you can inherit the reputation of our ancestors and become the backbone of our Great Qin.”
Even though Bai Lijun was not famous and had a bad habit of being greedy and lecherous, he was still an old Qin citizen. In this dangerous time, only an old Qin citizen could be Great Qin's reliance.
"Yes! I will not disappoint Your Majesty!"
Bai Lijun said with determination.
...........
At the same time, after Liu Bang's army split up with Song Yi and Xiang Yu in the first half of the year, they had avoided the important and dealt with the trivial. They had wiped out many Qin troops and seized countless weapons and gold.
In addition, the Yingchuan and Chenjun Qin troops were all transferred to the Julu area by Zhang Han, leaving only a few county and county soldiers who were responsible for catching thieves. Their combat strength was close to zero.
Thus, Liu Bang's army marched straight in and quickly approached Neishi County.
As a well-known local ruffian in Pei County, Liu Bang was a smart man. He knew that he could not dominate the battlefield like Xiang Yu, so he put his mind on expanding his power.
Every time he went to a place, he would be the first to post a notice to recruit young refugees, defeated soldiers, and even warriors. He would not reject anyone.
By the time they entered Nanyang, Pei Gong's army had already reached a staggering 200,000 men, which was no weaker than Xiang Yu's alliance army.
Gradually, more and more people joined him, including many generals and celebrities, such as Chu General Chen Wu, Gao Yang celebrity Li Shiqi, Wei General Huang Xin, Wu Pu, and so on.
Especially after meeting up with the Han army, with Zhang Liang's guidance, Liu Bang's army became even more powerful.
The gangsters of the past had turned into a torrent in the chaotic times of the late Qin Dynasty. Liu Bang's name was second only to Xiang Yu, the overlord of the West Chu.
