Three days later.
Ying Yun followed Wang Jian's two hundred thousand strong army and set off.
"I thought Young Master wasn't going."
Wang Jian rode on his horse and looked at Ying Yun who was lying on the horse's back and drinking wine.
He no longer disliked Ying Yun drinking.
After all, the things that Ying Yun had done recently made even him feel inferior.
Ying Yun was lying on the horse's back with one leg crossed. He said,"Since I have nothing to do in Xianyang, I might as well come out and play with you.”
"Play?"
Wang Ben didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
They had sent troops to defend against the Great Yue Clan this time, and Wang Jian had not slept well for a few days.
On the other hand, Ying Yun acted as if nothing had happened.
Seeing that Ying Yun wasn't worried at all, Wang Jian opened his mouth and asked,"I see that Young Master is not worried at all. Is there a good plan to defeat the Great Yue Clan?”
Ying Yun said," No, I've already said it. I'm just here to play with you guys. If I win, I won't take credit. If I lose, it's none of my business."”
Wang Jian raised his head, glanced at the sky, and said,"It's getting late now. I'm afraid we won't reach Longxi until tomorrow. Have the soldiers set up camp here and wait until dawn before setting off.”
Ying Yun sat up and looked around. When he realized that he was surrounded by trees, he said,"We can't set up camp here."
"Why?" Wang Jian said with a puzzled look.”
Ying Yun said," Look around us. It's all forest. The weather is dry now. If someone blocks the way in the middle of the night and uses fire attacks, do you think we can rush out?”
Wang Jian was startled. He sized up his surroundings and nodded as he said,""You're right. I only considered the beautiful mountains and rivers here. I didn't consider that the weather is not suitable for setting up camp here.”
"If that's the case, let's take a look at the front." Wang Ben said.”
As these words rang out, the army continued to advance.
After they left, dozens of figures walked out of the forest at the side.
The leader was Xiang Yu.
"Damn it, didn't Uncle say that they might set up camp here? Why did you leave after stopping for a while?"
Xiangyu revealed an unwilling expression.
After learning that Ying Zheng had sent Wang Jian to lead his troops to defend against the Great Yue Clan, Xiang Liang had sent him to ambush Wang Jian midway.
Originally, they wanted to use fire attacks. Who knew that Wang Jian only paused here for a moment before leaving.
"General, what do we do now?" One of his subordinates asked.
"I don't believe I won't find an opportunity to follow them," said Xiangyu.”
After traveling for a distance, Ying Yun and the others arrived at a flat land.
They were surrounded by barren hills.
This time, Wang Jian didn't act on his own initiative. Instead, after looking around, he asked Ying Yun,"Is this okay now?"
Ying Yun sat up. After sweeping his gaze around, he said,"This place is not bad. Let's do it here!”
"Alright."
Hearing this, Wang Jian opened his mouth and said," Pass down the order. Have the army set up camp here. We will set off tomorrow."”
Along with Wang Jian's voice sounding out, the 200,000 strong army that he brought instantly stopped and began to set up camp.
After Ying Yun got down from the horse, he found some firewood and took out the chicken wings that he had prepared from his bag. He then began to roast them.
After the meal, Wang Jian personally came to call him to eat, but he was attracted by his grilled chicken wings.
"Strange, I've eaten roasted chicken wings before, but why isn't it as fragrant as yours?”
Wang Jian squatted down and looked at the roasted chicken wings on the fire as he asked with a puzzled look.
Ying Yun said proudly,"This chicken wing of mine is unique in Great Qin; even my Imperial Father has never eaten it before."”
"Father, what are you talking about?"
At this moment, Wang Ben walked over.
When he saw the chicken wings on the fire, he was shocked."It smells so good. Why does this roasted chicken wing look a little different from what we eat?”
Ying Yun said," Of course it's different. The chicken wings that you made weren't cleaned up. Besides, you probably didn't add any seasoning, so the chicken wings that you made naturally wouldn't taste good.”
As he spoke, Ying Yun picked up a roasted chicken wing and put it into his mouth. He said,"Hmm, not bad."
"Young Master, can you give me one to try?”
Wang Jian licked his lips and asked.
"Young Master, I'd like to try one too." Wang Ben said.”
"Don't you have food to eat?" Ying Yun raised his eyebrows and looked at the two of them. And you're still snatching chicken wings from me?"
Wang Jian said with an embarrassed look," That's different. I've never eaten your chicken wings before, so I want to try them."”
Ying Yun pondered for a while, then reached out to pick one up. He looked at the two and said,"I'll only give you one.”
Hearing this, Wang Jian and Wang Ben reached out their hands to receive the jade pendant.
"What? You dare to fight with your dad?" Wang Jian asked.”
Wang Ben took a glance at the chicken wings, and even though he wanted to eat them, he let go of them.
He really did not dare to snatch it from Wang Jian.
After Wang Jian received the chicken wings, he sniffed and revealed an expression of enjoyment.
"It smells so good."
After saying that, he took a bite and said,"It's so delicious. This is the first time I've tasted it.”
Wang Ben licked his lips after hearing what his father said. He wanted to eat it, but he didn't dare to snatch it from his father.
He could only turn around and go back to eat.
The next morning, Wang Jian led the army and continued to advance.
Just as he was leading his army to Longxi, the Great Yue Clan's 100,000 cavalry had already begun to attack a small city on the border of Longxi.
Although this city was small, it was the only way to Xianyang.
As long as this city was breached, the 100,000 cavalrymen of the Great Yue Clan would be able to reach Xianyang.
On the city tower.
A middle-aged white-haired general looked at the Great Yue Cavalry charging at him and revealed an excited expression.
"In the battle that year, I lost to Xiang Yan and was banished to this tiny place by His Majesty. I thought that I would never be able to turn things around, but I didn't expect the Great Yue Clan to suddenly attack.”
"As long as I can resist the attack of the Great Yue Clan, His Majesty will definitely remember me, Li Xin.”
The white-haired middle-aged general was none other than Li Xin.
Back then, he was ordered by Qin Shihuang to lead an army of 200,000 to attack Chu.
In the beginning, he had won many victories, but he was defeated by Xiang Yan, the general of Chu State. Later on, Ying Zheng was furious and demoted him to guard the city.
He was originally a Great General with outstanding military achievements, but he was suddenly demoted to this small place to guard the city. Because he couldn't accept this blow, Li Xin's hair turned white overnight and he never recovered.
It was only when he discovered that the Great Yue Clan's cavalrymen were attacking that his fighting spirit was reignited.
"Kill, kill them all! Don't let the Great Yue Cavalry enter the city.”
Li Xin pulled out the sword at his waist and shouted at the city tower.
At this moment, a deputy general rushed up and cupped his hands towards Li Xin,"General, there are a hundred thousand cavalrymen of the Great Yue Clan, but the number of soldiers guarding the city is only thirty thousand.”
"If this continues, we have no chance of winning, so this general suggests that we hold fast and not attack.”
"When the reinforcements arrive, we will be able to drive the Great Yue Cavalry back to the plains in one go.”
"Reinforcements? What reinforcements?" Li Xin asked with a puzzled expression.
"I sent someone to Xianyang to ask for help without your permission."”
"What did you say? You sent someone to Xianyang to ask for help?”
When Li Xin heard this, he was furious.
He had wanted to report to Ying Zheng after he had repelled the cavalrymen of the Great Yue Clan.
Who knew that his subordinate would report it in advance?
"This is the only way to Xianyang," the deputy general said."Once the Great Yue Cavalry breaks through, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
"Therefore, I did not ask for your permission and wrote to Xianyang for help. Please forgive me.”
"You…you really deserve to die!"
Li Xin was furious. He raised the sword in his hand and wanted to kill the deputy general.
" General," the deputy general said," I know you want to make a contribution, but you have to see the situation clearly. We are outnumbered. We can't lose the big for the small."”
Li Xin turned his head to look at the city tower, only to see the Great Yue Clan Cavalry charging over.
"What we need to do now is to hold fast. A spy just reported that Wang Jian has led 200,000 troops to reinforce us.”
"As long as they arrive in time, they will be able to repel the Great Yue Cavalry.”
Li Xin struggled, but in the end, he gave up on killing this deputy general.
"Pass down my order. Defend the city with all your might and wait for General Wang Jian to arrive.”
His idea of defeating the cavalrymen of the Great Yue Clan by himself was shattered.
However, he knew that the Great Yue Cavalry would not be repelled so easily.
As long as he found a chance to make a contribution, Ying Zheng would be able to use him again.
