The next morning.
Ying Feng's expression was calm. He didn't care about the nervous expressions of the palace maids and guards around him.
He brought the Wei Army to the meeting hall of Xianyang Palace.
In Xianyang Palace, the deep and solemn bell rang once again. The scattered ministers walked into the main hall.
However, most of the Qin officials who walked into the main hall were old people who were staggering.
After Huhai's repeated struggles, the dazzling contribution points of the empire were almost depleted.
All that was left was a devastated Great Qin Empire that was riddled with holes and was about to collapse under an ant's nest…
He kept thinking, but his face remained calm.
Ying Feng was wearing a black emperor robe and had the Sky Asking Sword on his waist.
"Da da da!"
He looked ahead and calmly headed toward the center.
He looked around and stared at the sparse old men in the hall, most of whom had white hair at the temples. He did not speak for a long time.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
The ministers bowed respectfully and shouted in unison.
A hint of solemness flashed across Ying Feng's eyes.”
"Yes!"
All the officials stood up and took their seats.
"Your Majesty, regarding your ascension to the throne…" Ziying, the magistrate of Xianyang, asked.
"The country is in a difficult situation. I should follow Duke Mu's example and make a living for the people.”
Ying Feng said indifferently.
Whether he ascended the throne or not, he was the undisputed successor of the Great Qin Empire.
A huge coronation ceremony would waste manpower and money. The current timing was not suitable at all.
Only by unifying the world and reaching the peak once again would he be able to ascend the throne and come to court!
"Your Majesty is merciful!"
All the officials bowed their heads and cheered, crying tears of joy. Everything that happened yesterday could only prove one thing.
Ying Feng was decisive and decisive. He would be the only successor to the Qin Dynasty's Emperor!
And today, Ying Feng had displayed the demeanor of a benevolent emperor who loved his people like his own children. He was incomparably benevolent internally and decisive externally!
With such a wise ruler, how could the Qin country not have hope of reviving again!
"Uncle Wang, how many soldiers are there in Xianyang City?”
After a long time, Ying Feng asked this question.
At this moment, only by defending the pass would the Qin country have a chance to breathe.
"Your Majesty, when the general left for the east, he took away all the soldiers of Xianyang City, leaving only 20,000 imperial guards.”
"After yesterday's battle, there are still around eight thousand Imperial Guards left.”
"Phew-"
Hearing this, Ying Feng let out a deep breath.
Who would have thought that the millions of Qin soldiers who once dominated the world and swept across the six countries would fall to such a state in just a few years?
Even the capital, Xianyang, did not have many soldiers guarding it.
The Great Qin Empire was founded on military merits.
At any time, strengthening the army was the top priority. He never thought that the First Emperor had only passed away three years ago.
Great Qin's situation had already become so terrible.
The 300,000 Northland Army needed to guard against the Xiongnu.
500,000 Thai troops went south, and the remaining troops scattered to various places. Some were used by the vassals, some were reduced to souls under the blade.
How could he be so miserable!
"Your Majesty, the report from the Julu Army has arrived many days ago. Should we…"
"Hmm? Julu Army Report, tell us!"
Ying Feng's expression changed slightly as he hurriedly spoke. Even he was starting to feel nervous.
The Battle of Julu had an extraordinary meaning to the Great Qin Empire.
"A few days ago, the Julu Army reported back, but Zhao Gao hid it from the second generation and didn't allow it to be passed on.”
Ziying shouted angrily,"During the battle of Julu, our army had run out of food for too long and was unable to fight anymore. The 100,000 Northern soldiers were completely wiped out!”
"The Marquis of Martial City, Wang Li, was captured, and the deputy general, Su Jiao, died tragically on the battlefield!”
" General Zhang Han led his remaining troops to break out of the encirclement. He was chased by the Chu army and is now in a desperate situation by the Zhangshui River…"
The hall was completely silent. Ying Feng didn't say anything.
The situation was more dangerous than he had imagined.
Shui Cang's 100,000 troops could defend against Liu. However, how could the Hangu Pass, which had few soldiers, stop Xiang Yu?
It wouldn't take long for the Chu army to drive down from Julu and approach Xianyang.
The Great Qin Empire was in grave danger!
If he was not careful, he would turn into nothingness!
The officials in the palace might not know. However, Ying Feng's heart was like a clear mirror.
If the situation continued to develop, the 200,000-strong criminal army led by General Zhang Han would not be able to withstand the pressure and would surrender to the Overlord Xiang Yu!
At that time, the blow to Great Qin would be unprecedentedly huge. At that moment, Xianyang Ling Ziying did not stop.
She choked for a moment before continuing.
"Your Majesty, another Chu army has arrived at Wu Pass!”
Hearing this, the entire hall became even more gloomy. Many of the old ministers trembled and could not say a word.
Even though Wu Pass had always been valued by Qin since the Spring and Autumn Period, it could be said to be an iron wall under constant repairs.
There is a city wall inside, leaning against the cliff in the North and facing the ravine in the south. The river flows around the east, west and south.
The city site stretched out from the center of the river. There were four ridges in the east of the city, especially the suspension bridge ridge, which was high and steep.
"We can't ride side by side on the mountain!" As a barrier for Wuguan, and Qin Guan with two enemies 100 reputation.
However, ever since his second life, the number of troops defending Wu Pass had been reduced. It was simply a fool's dream to stop the Chu army from the east of the country!
It was only a matter of time before Wuguan City fell!
