Three years ago, when the First Emperor died on the sand dune, the Black Ice Platform was undefeatable, and Ying Fei's East Chamber had begun to expand.
In just a few years, the East Chamber's power had expanded to the point where it was no less powerful than the Black Ice Platform at its peak. It had covered Jimo in the east, Wusun in the west, and Xiangjun in the south.
This was also why Ying Fei was able to control the situation of Great Qin, destroy Huhai, kill Zhao Gao, and take over Guanzhong.
"Your Majesty, you're really far-sighted!”
In his shock, Gao Shun only reacted after a long time and praised.
However, Ying Fei only shook his head and smiled bitterly."What foresight? It's just a dying struggle.”
In the end, pacifying the world still depended on strength. Some insignificant little schemes might be able to affect the overall situation, but they would never be able to change the overall situation.
In the current world, war was raging everywhere, and even the people in the Guanzhong region were in turmoil. The 300,000 youths were the last of Great Qin.
Once they died, Ying Fei would be powerless to turn the situation around.
Perhaps some people would say that the main force of the Qin army was not in Guanzhong, but in the north and south.
Indeed, the 300,000 troops in the north intimidated the Xiongnu, while the 500,000 troops in the south pacified Guilin and Xiangjun.
However, things were different now. The Southern Army Corps 'commander Tu Xiao had died in an accident, and the deputy general Zhao Tuo had taken over his command of 500,000 people.
With the spiritual canal cut off and the plank road destroyed, the other side immediately made a decisive decision to leave the Central Plains and no longer accept Great Qin's decree.
Even if Ying Fei was able to send the edict to the Southern Army Corps, Zhao Tuo would never go north and get involved in this mess.
As for the Corps defending the Northern Lands, after Wang Li's death, the 100,000 soldiers of the Qin army had been buried in the giant deer. They had lost their last hope for Great Qin.
It was probably impossible to send the remaining 200,000 Northland soldiers south.
"Gao Shun, in your opinion, do you think that Wei Zhongxian and his group will be able to gain the Northland Army Corps 'approval?”
Ying Fei couldn't help but ask.
At this critical moment, he knew that no matter how many backup plans he had, he would need a powerful army. Otherwise, Great Qin would not be able to fend off all of this alone.
Ever since Huhai took over the throne, he had ordered Fu Su, Meng Tian, and Meng Yi to die. The 300,000 soldiers of the Northern Lands had lost all hope, and their hearts were filled with resentment.
Not to mention that they had to guard against the Xiongnu in the north of the desert, even if they had no enemies, they would not be willing to go south to rescue Ying Qin.
In the tenth month of the third year of Qin II, during the Battle of Julu, Wang Li's army of 100,000 soldiers was besieged by Xiang Yu. Zhang Han did not help them, causing Wang Li to be captured and his army of 100,000 to die.
If it wasn't for his contributions in the past, Ying Fei would have already ordered Zhang Han to be executed. The last reinforcement was wasted by him just like that. It was simply preposterous.
"Your Majesty is talented and courageous. You destroyed the Second Prince and Zhao Gao, saving Great Qin from the brink of destruction. I believe that when the Northern Army sees this, they will agree to the Zhongche Manor's order and go south to rescue Hangu Pass.”
Gao Shun slowly replied as this thought flashed through his mind.
"When I left Xianyang, I gave Wei Zhongxian the Tianwen and the imperial edict. I also ordered Xue Rengui to lead the 100,000 Yong City soldiers north.”
Looking deeply at Gao Shun, Ying Fei said in a deep voice,""We hope that the Northland Army can send troops south. That way, we can at least prove that Great Qin still has a loyal army.”
Just like Zhang Han, Ying Fei had given him a chance, but what did he get in return? The Imperial Attendant died on the same day as the imperial edict, and 200,000 criminal soldiers defected to Chu on the spot.
As such, neither he nor Great Qin would treat the Northern Army lightly. If they did not obey, they would kill them all.
Even though all of this was done by the second emperor of Qin, Huhai, if the emperor wanted his subjects to die, they had to die. Ever since the first emperor of Qin, the Great Qin Empire had never been harsh to the 300,000 Northern Lands Army.
Even if Huhai had killed Meng Tian, so what? Guanzhong had never stopped supporting the Northern Lands. For years, grain and weapons were constantly transported to the Northern Lands.
The treacherous minister Zhao Gao also knew that the rebel army in the east of the country was still a citizen of China. However, if there was no army in the north and the Xiongnu went south, it would be a tragedy for China.
"Your Majesty, the most important thing now is to defeat Liu Bang's army. Only then will we be able to fight to the death with Xiang Yu.”
Facing the Emperor's cold gaze, Gao Shun cleverly changed the topic and turned to the current situation in Wu Pass.
Hearing this, Ying Fei shook his head, and a smile appeared in his eyes. He didn't expect Gao Shun, who was always known for being stiff and upright, to be so cunning.
"You're right. Hangu Pass is known as the strongest pass in the world, backed by 300,000 new troops. However, Xiang Yu has 600,000 troops under his command.”
"In addition, this guy has the momentum of Julu's victory, and the momentum of his entire army is even more powerful. They are not inferior to the Qin army that conquered the world in the past. Even if we fight head-on, our army will not be able to defeat the Chu army.”
"Your Majesty, should we order General Zhang Liao to lead his troops to Hangu Pass to provide support?”
Gao Shun lowered his head and asked carefully, not daring to look directly at him.
The Qin army did not only have a few men left in the pass. In fact, the most important 80,000 men were wandering outside the Wu Pass, waiting for an opportunity to attack Liu Bang's troops.
"No, I can't! The Lantian Army cannot be moved!"
Ying Fei waved his hand and said in a deep voice," Liu Bang's troops are now like turtles in a jar. We only need one more battle to defeat him. When that time comes, the Lantian Army will launch a pincer attack from both inside and outside. South County will no longer be a threat to the Great Qin Army."”
