In December of the third year of Qin II, Xiang Yu led his army to defeat Wang Li. The 100,000-strong northern army of Qin fell. The vassals in the east of the country were subdued by his power and respected him as the general of the vassals.
From now on, Xiang Yu had 400,000 troops. If Zhang Han's troops were included, he would have at least 600,000 troops.
Even if Liu Bang entered the pass first, he would still feel fear.
"Mister Liang Fang, Lord Xiao, Xiang Yu is coming at us menacingly, how should we deal with him?”
At this moment, Liu Bang was afraid. He was not the God of War and did not have the strength to carry the cauldron. He was also not the son of the Emperor or the son of the Red Emperor. He did not have the protection of the heavens.
As a local hooligan who had fought in Pei County since he was young, facing an army of 600,000 was simply a nightmare.
In the past, the First Emperor had sent Wang Jian to lead 600,000 Qin troops to the south. They were unstoppable and all nine counties fell. In the end, the 3,000-mile Chu State was destroyed, and even General Xiang Yan died on the battlefield.
Now, Xiang Yu led 600,000 troops, and his might was insufferably high. The vanguard of the army was pointing straight at Guanzhong. Who could dare to provoke him?
The ones who were the happiest were none other than the eastern vassals. Even the pillar of the Great Qin Empire, Zhang Han, had led his army to surrender. Would Great Qin still be able to survive?
Now that they had taken down Xingyang, Sanchuan, and were only a small step away from Hangu Pass, how could they not be excited about the great cause of destroying Qin?
"Pei Gong, don't worry. Xiang Yu is too confident and won't investigate the matter in Guanzhong. The upheaval in Xianyang didn't reach the ears of the alliance army.”
Looking into the distance, Zhang Liang, the young master of Han, revealed an unfathomable smile.
"Mister Zhang Fang's meaning is that the Qin people have a backup plan?”
Although Liu Bang was frightened by Xiang Yu's 600,000-strong army, his political wisdom was still there. He immediately saw the key.
" A few days ago, our army captured several wounded soldiers of the Qin army," Xiao He said." We learned from them that Yong Jun, Ying Zejiu, appointed Ziying as the commander of Xianyang and recruited 300,000 old Qin soldiers from Guanzhong.”
After everyone heard this, they all sucked in a cold breath.
One had to know that the people of Qin revered martial arts. A ten-year-old child could go into battle to kill enemies, let alone a young and strong person. They were not inferior to elite soldiers.
If all 300,000 of them were armed, not to mention breaking through Hangu Pass and entering the audience, it would be lucky that Xiang Yu did not fall.
"The most important thing now is to quickly take down Wu Pass. As long as Xiang Yu attracts the attention of the Qin people outside Hangu Pass, our army can take advantage of the situation to enter the pass and seize the righteous cause.”
"Mister Zifang is right. Pass down the order to prepare the army for the decisive battle against the Qin army.”
Liu Bang waved his hand and ordered.
"Yes!"
........
Guanzhong was 800 li away from Qinchuan. Even though Huhai, Zhao Gao, and the others had been eliminated, Great Qin had regained a lot of vitality.
However, when the news of the Zhangshui River spread, all the officials and even the six million old Qin people were filled with sorrow. No one had expected that Zhang Han, who they had placed their hopes on, would actually lead his army to surrender.
Great Qin, iron eagle elite soldiers, east out of Hangu, pacify the six countries.
Once upon a time, Great Qin was the totem of the world and the pride of the old Qin people. However, now, the mountains and rivers were shattered and the cavalry of the bandits in the east of the country had broken through the three rivers and was approaching Hangu Pass.
If the Great Qin Emperor, Ying Zejiu, hadn't led his army to the Wu Pass and defeated the rebel army, the horn of victory would have been heard in the pass, and this battle would have drained all the energy of the old Qin people.
Inside Wu Pass.
"Your Majesty, 200,000 convicts have surrendered to the rebels. Now, they have turned around and attacked Guanzhong. The people in Guanzhong are in turmoil.”
The words of the chamberlain didn't cause any major reaction from Ying Ze Jiu. He was still as calm as an old well, and Zhang Han's surrender was within his expectations.
However, he did not expect Ziying to be so impatient. There were still 300,000 new soldiers in the pass. Even if they could not defeat Xiang Yu, they were more than enough to defend Hangu Pass. There was no need to panic.
Ying Ze Jiu was now filled with disappointment towards Ziying, the most outstanding member of the Ying Qin family. With his talent, he could at most be the governor of a county, and not even be qualified to be the magistrate of Xianyang.
If even he was afraid, how could he appease the six million old Qin people in Guanzhong?
"Pass down my decree, appointing Jiang Wan as the magistrate of Xianyang, Fa Zheng as the guest of honor, and Chen Qun as the internal historian of the grain, in charge of the government.”
Ying Ze Jiu said in a deep voice,""Imperial Uncle Ziying is highly respected and has been appointed as the Zong Zheng. He will bring the order to Longxi to visit the old Qin tribe and establish the Great Qin's Zong Guards.”
Longxi was the birthplace of the Qin people. The Qin Clan with the most seniority gathered there, including the Zhao Clan, the Dou Clan, the Lin Clan, and so on.
If he could gather them and form an army, this army would become Great Qin's final barrier.
"Yes!"
"Any news from the Northlands?”
Ying Ze Jiu looked deeply at the chamberlain and his expression turned grave. The 300,000 new soldiers might be able to stop the rebel army's attack, but once the 200,000 criminal soldiers appeared, the old Qin soldiers would definitely be moved and their morale would plummet.
If Zhang Han raised his arm and shouted, it was hard to guarantee that no accidents would happen at Hangu Pass. The safest thing was that there would be external troops to reinforce the defense of Hangu Pass.
Wei Zhongxian, the general manager of the East Chamber, had received the Emperor's order to bring Emperor Jian Tianwen north. If there were 200,000 Northern Army soldiers, there would be no movement.
Then he planned to send the 100,000 Yong City soldiers guarding Jiuyuan south to first repel the rebel army's attack, then deal with the disloyal Northland army.
