"Eh? Why did the pillar country send so many cavalry?”
Jing Han, who was standing outside the city gate with Lord Chang Ping, could not help but feel puzzled when she saw the army rushing over.
As the young master of Chu State, although he was not a general, he had some knowledge of military affairs.
Before coming to Chen Ying to persuade the Lord of Changping, Jing Han had discussed with Xiang Yan and asked Xiang Yan to send troops to take over the city.
Logically speaking, after the Chu army took over Chen Ying, they had to be wary of the Qin army attacking the city.
There should be more infantry and archers in the army.
However, the people who appeared in front of the two of them and were flying over were clearly cavalry.
Even though it was dark, they could still see clearly from their horses.
Xiong Qi also felt that something was amiss, so he turned to Jing Han and said,"Young Master, just in case, should we retreat into the city?”
"What's wrong? Could this army be the Qin army?”Jing Han waved her hand indifferently.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Chu army scout on the city wall shouted,"No, not good! Young Master! This army was under the banner of 'Meng'! It's the Qin army!"
Jing Han was dumbfounded.
"W-what?"
"Qin army? Meng Tian's team?"
"Impossible! Impossible!" He said firmly," When I entered the city, there were no traces of Meng Tian and Li Xin's army. After so long, the Qin army had already advanced dozens of miles to the southeast. Why would they suddenly turn around?”
Jing Han pointed at the Chu scouts on the city wall and shouted,""You must be blind!"
With this delay, Meng Tian's cavalry was even closer to Chen Ying. Xiong Qi, who was standing beside Jing Han, could also see the army's flag.
"Young Master, it's indeed Meng Tian's team!”
"Quick, enter the city!"
After Xiong Qi's reminder, Jing Han reacted and dragged him into the city.
As he ran, he shouted,"Close the city gate, quickly close the city gate!"”
But how could the heavy city gates be closed so easily?
Moreover, Jing Han didn't bring many Chu soldiers with him.
When the Qin soldiers who were originally stationed in the city saw the Lord of Changping, Xiong Qi, change into the Chu army uniform, they all knew that Xiong Qi had betrayed Qin. The Qin soldiers who had become prisoners naturally would not listen to Xiong Qi's orders.
Meng Tian, who was leading her team to the city gate, also saw Xiong Qi, Jing Han, and the others fleeing into the city.
After seeing Xiong Qi's Chu army uniform with his own eyes, his eyes instantly turned cold.
On the way here, he still had doubts. Perhaps the fire in Chen Ying's direction was just a soldier accidentally igniting the grain and not the Lord of Changping taking the initiative to betray Qin?
However, the reality in front of him dispelled the doubts in his heart.
The Prime Minister of Qin, Lord Changping, has betrayed Qin!
At such a critical moment when Great Qin was about to attack Chu, he chose to betray Great Qin and Ying Zheng!
"Speed up! Stop the Chu spies from closing the city gates!"
"Follow me into the city!”
Meng Tian immediately gave the order, and the team's speed increased once again.
In an instant, they arrived at Chen Ying City.
The Chu army led by Jing Han was too small, how could they resist Meng Tian's 50,000 men?
In just a moment, Jing Han, Xiong Qi and the rest were tied up by Meng Tian's Qin army.
Not long after the Chu army's flag was raised, it was replaced with Great Qin's black flag.
"Lord Chang Ping, do you have anything to say?”Looking at the tied up Xiong Qi, Meng Tian's gaze became fierce. She could not understand why Xiong Qi would choose to betray Great Qin.
Now that things had come to this, no matter how Xiong Qi explained, it was futile.
His expression was dull as he slowly shook his head.
Just as Meng Tian was about to wave her hand and order people to escort the two back to Xianyang, Xiong Qi suddenly said,""General Meng Tian, can you tell me how you knew that I had returned to Chu?”
He watched Li Xin and Meng Tian's army leave the city. He was caught red-handed by Meng Tian just as he accepted Young Master Chu's surrender.
He had not even worn the Chu Country military uniform yet.
Xiong Qi couldn't think of anything.
" Hmph." Meng Tian laughed coldly." I did not believe that Lord Chang Ping would betray Qin. Even the king was the same as me. I did not believe that Lord Chang Ping would make such a choice.”
"It's all thanks to General Li Xin. It was he who reminded the king that you were very likely to return to Chu, so the king summoned me into the palace and ordered me to be prepared.”
Xiong Qi had been captured, and he was to be escorted to Xianyang to await Ying Zheng's punishment, so it was not a big deal to tell him all this now.
After hearing Meng Tian's explanation, Xiong Qi was stunned.""It's actually Li Xin…"
"Young Master Jing Han just came to see me today. Even I didn't know that this would happen.”
"Li Xin was actually able to know in advance…"
At this moment, Chang Ping Jun Xiong Qi's impression of Li Xin changed drastically.
He had seen Li Xin before, and Li Xin had shown off in the battles against Zhao Poyan, becoming a bright star among Great Qin's younger generation of Generals.
However, at that time, Lord Chang Ping felt that Great Qin would have another famous general like Baiqi and Wang Jian.
He didn't know that Li Xin had such foresight.
Jing Han had come to persuade him to surrender at this time, and even he himself had not known about it in advance. Yet, Li Xin had managed to deduce it and even advised Ying Zheng and Meng Tian to take precautions.
Thinking of this, Lord Chang Ping looked up at the sky and smiled bitterly."It seems like the heavens really want to destroy Chu. Great Qin has unified the world and cannot be stopped!”
"Escort them to Xianyang and let His Majesty deal with them.”Meng Tian waved her hand to the side. Immediately, a few Qin soldiers escorted the two of them away.
Chen Ying's crisis had been resolved, but the Chu army that would take over Chen Ying was already on the way.
Thinking of Li Xin's exhortations before she parted ways with him, Meng Tian summoned her subordinates.
"Change the black flag of Great Qin to the flag of the Chu army.”
"Yes!"
Li Xin, oh Li Xin, this is all I can do. The rest is up to you…
