"The army has set off. I will bring you back to Xianyang to pay your respects to the First Emperor!”Seeing the soldiers 'high morale, Wang Li couldn't help but say with a heroic expression. He couldn't wait any longer.
"Return to Xianyang and pay my respects to the First Emperor!”All the soldiers cheered. At this moment, their fighting spirit and morale reached an unprecedented high. They couldn't wait to rush to Xianyang City and see the First Emperor in their hearts. Even if it was just a glance from afar, they would be satisfied.
Just like that, Wang Li's army set out once again, and their speed was several times faster than before. All the soldiers wished they could travel day and night.
Sometimes, after resting for a little longer, those generals would constantly ask Wang Li when he would be on his way.
The imperial edict that Ying Zheng gave Wang Li did not say much. It only told Wang Li to lead his army to Xianyang to rescue the king. At the same time, he reminded Wang Li to be careful when he met Xiang Yu, and to avoid a direct confrontation.
Ying Zheng had even ordered Wang Li's army to avoid Julu and take a detour back to Xianyang.
Ying Zheng wanted Wang Li to avoid the Battle of Julu, because he knew that Wang Li had buried this 300,000-strong army of Great Qin in the Battle of Julu.
However, what Ying Zheng did not expect was that because of his resurrection, history had already begun to deviate from its track.
Xiang Yu's army was rushing towards Hangu Pass, intending to break through Hangu Pass in one fell swoop and march straight towards Xianyang City. Naturally, there would not be any Battle of Julu, and Ying Zheng was naturally overthinking things.
……
The land of the Bai Yue was filled with mountains and forests. The roads were rugged, and most of them were mountain roads.
On this day, a group of Great Qin's soldiers brought a few men in ragged clothes to the Great Qin army's encampment.
"Sir, who are these people?" The soldiers guarding outside the camp looked at the men in ragged clothes and curiously asked the Qin general who had brought a few men in ragged clothes over.
"I met them on the road. At that time, they were being chased by a group of Yue rebels and were rescued. Then, they said that they were here to deliver the imperial edict to General Zhao on the orders of the country protector, so they escorted them to General Zhao.”The Qin general explained.
"I'll go report to General Zhao and bring a few sirs to wash up.”The general of the Qin army spoke to the men in ragged clothes. Although these men were dressed in ragged clothes, they did not dare to show any neglect.
Moreover, it was a great offense to have these men read the imperial edict in such shabby clothes.
Not long after, the general of the Qin army who had entered earlier walked out with a middle-aged man. Behind the middle-aged man was a group of generals. Clearly, this middle-aged man should be Zhao Tuo.
"I am Zhao Tuo. Are you here to announce the decree?”Zhao Tuo looked at the few people who had just washed up and changed into Qin army armor and asked.
"Yes, we are here on the orders of the Kingdom Protector to announce the decree of His Majesty the First Emperor.”The leader nodded.
"Wait, which Emperor's decree are you here to announce?”Zhao Tuo was slightly stunned when he heard that person's words. Then, he opened his mouth and asked.
He had thought that the person had said something wrong. Everyone knew that the second emperor of the Great Qin Empire was in power, and the first emperor had been dead for more than two years.
"Are we here to announce the imperial edict of His Majesty the First Emperor?”The man repeated, emphasizing the words " First Emperor ".
"The First Emperor is still alive?”After Zhao Tuo heard this, his entire body trembled slightly. Then, he spoke with an excited and trembling expression.
The generals behind Zhao Tuo were also stunned when they heard this.
"Of course, the First Emperor was the chosen one. How could he die so easily?”The person said indifferently and took out the Moon Goddess's token.
After Zhao Tuo saw the Moon Goddess's token, he started to believe that the First Emperor was still alive.
After all, Yueshen was not only a country protector, but also a protector of the Yin-Yang School. She was also very proficient in divination.
Furthermore, when the First Emperor was still in power, he had relied heavily on the Moon Goddess, and the Moon Goddess had always been loyal to the First Emperor.
He believed that the Moon Goddess wouldn't dare to lie to him about such an important matter. Otherwise, the consequences wouldn't be something the Moon Goddess could bear.
When he thought that the First Emperor might still be alive, his heart trembled slightly, and his expression became excited.
He was personally promoted by the First Emperor, and he was deeply trusted by the First Emperor.
If it wasn't for the First Emperor's trust, would he be able to control the 500,000 strong army of Great Qin? To let him guard the Hundred Yue Lands? What kind of trust was this?
A scholar dies for a confidant, and a woman dies for a person who likes her!
Therefore, he had been working diligently to repay the First Emperor's kindness.
Of course, Zhao Tuo was quite powerful, and his loyalty to Great Qin was not a problem.
At the very least, before the Great Qin Empire was destroyed, he had never thought of rebelling. It was only after the Great Qin Empire was destroyed that he cut off the path to the Hundred Yue Lands and proclaimed himself King.
"General Zhao, accept the decree!" That person continued.
"General Zhao Tuo, accept the decree!" Zhao Tuo temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart and knelt down respectfully.
With a swoosh, the Generals and soldiers around Zhao Tuo all knelt down, their attitudes incredibly respectful. Their actions were all in sync, and they looked incredibly imposing-this was Great Qin's ferocious army.
The man took out the imperial edict written on silk and began to read it.
"General Zhao Tuo, accept the decree! Long live the First Emperor, long live, long live!”After Zhao Tuo listened to the imperial edict with a serious expression, he spoke respectfully again.
"Long live the First Emperor, long live, long live!”The generals and soldiers behind Zhao Tuo also began to shout. Their voices instantly resounded through the clouds, causing many of the people of the Bai Yue to tremble in shock. This was because they heard a name that made their expressions change-the First Emperor!
After Zhao Tuo got up, he eagerly received the imperial edict from the First Emperor. He looked at it and found that it was indeed a familiar handwriting. Although it was not stamped with the imperial seal, he understood when he thought about how the Second Emperor of Qin was still in power.
"Great General, is the First Emperor really still alive?”The group of generals behind Zhao Tuo surrounded him and asked. The surrounding soldiers also looked at Zhao Tuo with anticipation.
"The First Emperor is indeed still alive.”Zhao Tuo nodded.
"That's great! The First Emperor is still alive, and Great Qin is saved! The heavens are truly blessing Great Qin!”Many of the old generals who had followed the First Emperor couldn't help but cry in joy.
At this critical moment of the Great Qin Empire, there was nothing more exciting than the news that the First Emperor was still alive.
In the hearts of Great Qin's soldiers, the First Emperor was like a god, the true soul of their army. With the First Emperor around, Great Qin's soldiers were basically invincible!
When the soldiers heard Zhao Tuo's affirmative answer, they were all excited.
"Soldiers, did you hear that? The First Emperor has ordered me to bring you back to Xianyang to restore the glory of the Great Qin Empire!”Zhao Tuo shouted at the generals and soldiers with an impassioned expression.
"Return to Xianyang and restore the glory of the Great Qin Empire!”
"Long live the First Emperor! Long live the Great Qin Empire!"
……
The generals and soldiers couldn't help but cheer. The army was no longer as dispirited as before, and their morale soared.
All of them had looks of anticipation and desire. As soldiers of Great Qin, they looked forward to Great Qin regaining its former glory.
After Zhao Tuo received the First Emperor's imperial edict, he immediately gathered the army and made arrangements for the Baiyue region. Then, he personally led 400,000 soldiers of the Great Qin Empire to Xianyang.
