One report a day. In times of war, it was basically one report a day.
However, because of the heavy snow, the city was sealed. No, or rather, the entire world seemed to be covered in heavy snow.
This scout had arrived a long time late.
The snow on the road made it difficult for the scout to move.
They had rushed over with great difficulty, but they were already a few days late.
He was still lucky. Although it was snowing heavily at that time, it was not so heavy. He could barely walk.
The scouts at the back were completely unable to leave.
It was so late.
According to the law, he should be sentenced to death.
However, under special circumstances, no one would punish a scout with this, not even Ying Zheng, who had lost a lot of weight.
Ying Zheng seemed to have turned into a stone.
Every day, his greatest interest seemed to have become staying on the steps of the Qin royal palace. He was not afraid of the cold or the snow. He just stared blankly at the north, the distant north.
Zhao Gao was shivering behind Ying Zheng.
His face was filled with worry.
God knows how Ying Zheng had been living these past few days.
He didn't want to eat or drink.
Every day, no, even from the moment he opened his eyes, he would think about the situation at the front line.
Two hundred thousand troops were too important to the State of Qin.
After years of war, two hundred thousand troops were absolutely not to be lost to the Qin country.
Moreover, in such weather, fighting in Qi Lu and Yan Land was a huge challenge for the soldiers.
The scouts had not arrived yet.
Perhaps he wouldn't come.
Ying Zheng had long known about such heavy snow. The snow in the Land of Yan and the Kingdom of Qi was much heavier than here.
"Frontline battle report, frontline battle report, quickly open the city gates.”
Ta Ta Ta Ta!
The scout on horseback shouted in a hoarse voice.
His face was already severely frostbitten, but the soldier seemed to be unable to feel the condition of his body.
"Where is the battle report?"
The Qin army on the city wall frowned deeply. With such heavy snow, no matter what kind of battle report it was, it didn't seem like it could be sent back.
Moreover, it seemed that the Qin country was only at war with the Qin country. How could such heavy snow be possible for thousands of miles?
They were confused.
The scout was helpless. He raised the bamboo slip high." This is personally written by General Lu. I have the scout pass for the wolf army."”
"It's true." The general on the wall of Xianyang City was shocked.
Was it really a battle report from the front line?
They thought that the battle report might have arrived after the new year.
At the very least, he had to wait until the snow stopped.
This year, it was really strange. It was snowing all over the country, and it was snowing heavily.
The weather was exceptionally cold.
The soldiers guarding the city did not dare to delay and quickly opened the city gate.
The city gate of Xianyang City was very big, but the city wall was not high.
It could even be said that the walls of Xianyang City were only two to three meters long.
It looked more like a show.
This was also Ying Zheng's boldness. In his mind, if the enemy attacked Xianyang, then no matter how tall the city was, it would be useless.
Since that was the case, it was better not to build a city wall.
It was used to check his identity.
Creak!
The door opened and scouts whistled past.
" Fight!"
The scout used his hoarse voice to whip the warhorse.
Ta!
The warhorses in Xianyang City finally began to run.
The people in Xianyang City were cleaning up every day. They even cleaned up the snow three times a day. There was not much snow on the road.
"General Wang, do we really have no chance of winning?”
Ying Zheng was in Yangxin Palace Hall, and the person opposite him was still the same person.
Wang Jian.
The two of them looked at each other. In front of them was a map.
According to the scouts 'information, the location of the battle was on the plains.
Obviously, Kuang Zhang had chosen it on purpose.
Or rather, when Jiang Lu's army arrived, he deliberately chose to start the battle on the plains.
It was to destroy Great Qin.
If the 200,000 strong army were to die…
Ying Zheng did not dare to think about it, and his entire body could not help but shiver.
But, unfortunately
It was useless to worry.
How many times had it been?
Wang Jian had no idea that in the past few days, he had been deducing with Ying Zheng every day, but the basic result was 40 - 60, and this was the situation that the State of Qin had predicted better. It was only a 40% chance of winning.
If it entered a stalemate, this was the outcome that Wang Jian was most worried about.
They entered a stalemate.
"Ten percent, not even ten percent.”Wang Jian was solemn.
Even though he had predicted countless outcomes, Kuang Zhang was a character. Wang Jian felt that the other party would definitely use such a tactic.
Crack!
Ying Zheng felt his heart turn cold.
After countless deductions, it was too difficult for the State of Qin to win.
First of all, they had to end the battle quickly. However, the greatest taboo in war was to advance rashly.
This was the first time Jiang Lu had become the main battle general.
That was too hasty!
Ying Zheng was panicking!
What should he do?
Could he still unify the Six Directions?
Could he still display his great ambition?
Ying Zheng's eyes were filled with confusion.
At this moment, Ying Zheng was too haggard.
It was mainly because he was suffering.
They had no idea what the situation at the front line was like, whether they were alive or dead, so it would be better for Ying Zheng to give up if he knew.
"Now the peace faction is starting to jump!”Ying Zheng sighed.
These people who advocated peace were almost all Fusu's subordinates.
Previously, Ying Zheng had been grooming Fu Su as his successor, so he did not care about the recruitment of talents when Fu Su opened his mansion.
Because he thought that it did not matter if Fu Su was the future successor.
But now, Ying Zheng did not think so. He had a more suitable candidate.
" We can only wait," Wang Jian said.
voice just fell
"Eight hundred li is urgent."
A hoarse voice rang out in the Qin Palace, but it was like a bolt from the blue, causing Ying Zheng's body to tremble.
In his excitement, Ying Zheng almost fainted.
He stood up straight and asked Wang Jian to let him run out.
Running at full speed, or even sprinting a hundred meters.
Just as he crossed a step, Ying Zheng even fell down because he was too anxious.
However, Ying Zheng did not care.
He patted his butt and stood up, looking at a figure covered in blood and frostbite outside the hall.
Ying Zheng's head was buzzing.
finally
He ran to the scout.
At this moment, even Ying Zheng, who had always been calm and collected, had his hands trembling.
He slowly took the bamboo slips.
It was a thick roll.
He trembled even more.
At this moment, many thoughts were running through Ying Zheng's mind.
There were too few bamboo slips.
If it was to report the results of the battle, there would not be so few bamboo slips. It was impossible to write so few bamboo slips.
Ying Zheng's first thought was that this was Jiang Lu's letter of apology after his defeat.
At the thought of this, Ying Zheng dared not open it anymore.
Yes, he had been waiting for the bamboo scroll for so long, but he actually did not dare to open it.
Because he was too excited, too conflicted, and too melancholic, Ying Zheng felt that the world was spinning.
But fortunately, the old general Wang Jian had long noticed that something was wrong, and caught Ying Zheng in time, preventing him from falling.
Ying Zheng heaved a deep sigh of relief and said," Get out of the way. I can handle it."”
As long as Jiang Lu did not commit suicide or die on the battlefield, Ying Zheng would be able to withstand it.
General Lu was too important to Ying Zheng.
Even before Jiang Lu left, Ying Zheng had told him something that no one knew.
"We can lose the war, and we can lose the 200,000-strong army. Anyone can die, but I won't allow you to die. Even if you lose, you have to come back unscathed.”
This was what Ying Zheng said to General Lu.
This was the first time Jiang Lu was slightly moved.
For the first time, Ying Zheng's impression of this cheap old man changed slightly.
The bamboo slip was very short.
In other words, the bamboo slip didn't seem to have many words.
The battle reports couldn't be so little.
But this time, Ying Zheng had miscalculated.
The moment he opened it, Ying Zheng knew that he had completely miscalculated!
Clang!
Ying Zheng took a few steps back, almost falling to the ground again.
"Get up, I'm fine." Ying Zheng pushed Wang Jian away.
He sat on the snowy ground without any scruples in the snow.
The snow soon covered his entire body.
But Ying Zheng seemed to feel nothing.
Just the first few words had already made Ying Zheng panic.
He was completely panicking.
He almost thought that this bamboo slip was fake.
However, this handwriting was indeed Jiang Lu's.
Jiang Lu's handwriting was easy to verify.
Ying Zheng confirmed it twice.
That's right, it was Jiang Lu's unique handwriting.
His handwriting was extremely beautiful, and he could even be considered a grandmaster of his generation.
Other than Jiang Lu, no one could imitate such handwriting.
"That's right." Ying Zheng muttered to himself.
Wang Jian stretched his head forward to take a look and said,"Your Majesty, take your time. There's no need to rush."
"Get up, I want to finish reading first.”Ying Zheng pushed Wang Jian away.
He moved his body and carefully placed the bamboo slips on the snow.
This was news that came a few days late!
Of course, they couldn't do anything. A few days ago, the cucumbers and vegetables were probably already cold.
But it didn't matter, Ying Zheng just wanted to know the situation.
Wang Jian stuck his head out and cried,""Your Majesty, let me take a look!"
After all, these few days, Wang Jian felt that he had worked hard even if he didn't contribute!
If he needed it, he would just hold it in front of him. There was no need to kick it away.
Wang Jian looked at Ying Zheng with a resentful gaze.
However, it was a pity that Ying Zheng did not look at him. Instead, he carefully read the words on the bamboo slip, word by word.
two sentences
"The army has arrived at the Qi Yan Plain."
"We suddenly encountered 200,000 Qi Country troops and annihilated them..."
