Chapter 146: Sima Terrier (First Update)

December 25, 260 BC.

Wild King Castle.

Wild King Castle is actually not big.

In fact, it's better to call it a fortress than a city.

Since the capture of this place by the Qin army, most of the Korean soldiers and civilians in this city have been driven away, and about 10,000 people have been detained to do hard labor for the Qin army.

Thanks to the hard work of these coolies, Nooh Castle completed the transformation from a city to a fortress.

As soon as the sky dawned, the gate of Yewang City opened, and thousands of Korean coolies walked out of Yewang City under the orders of the Qin soldiers and began to dig pits.

It was freezing on this day, and it was not easy to dig a pit, but the soldiers of the Qin Army, who were temporarily acting as overseers, would not pay attention to it so much, they would only walk around and observe the progress, and then mercilessly whip the leather whip on those who dug slowly.

I have to say that the military discipline of the Qin army is indeed very strict, even the soldiers who are overseers are meticulous and conscientious, there is no intention of being lazy at all, and every time the whip comes down, they will definitely draw the right back first and then the left back, which is very regular.

Of course, this may also have something to do with their main general, Sima Terrier, staring at the head of Yewang City hundreds of meters away.

Sima Terrier, who is forty-five years old this year, looks somewhat similar to his younger brother Sima Jin in terms of appearance, he is also a tall and rugged typical old Qin person, with resolute lines, but the beard under the chin and some vicissitudes of life make Sima Terrier a little more mature than Sima Jin.

Sima Terrier was standing at the head of Yewang City at this moment, staring at the land to the east.

According to the Qin army's informant, the 100,000 army led by Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling, should be able to reach the outside of Yewang City in two days.

In other words, Sima Terrier finally waited for the stage of his own performance.

Speaking of which, Sima Terrier is also a little depressed, you must know that before Bai Qi arrived, Sima Terrier was the number one deputy general of the Qin army, and the cooperation with the main general Wang Yi was not bad, and he also joined forces to break through the two defense lines of Gaoping Pass and Guangwolf City, the general of Zhao Guoda, Lian Po, so that Lian Po was forced to retreat to the area of Hanwang Mountain and Daliangshan.

At that time, Wang Yi and Sima Terrier were really high-spirited, and they were full of pride in their hearts, and they only felt that they were a great general, but they were nothing more than that.

However, what happened next made Wang Yi and Sima Terrier really understand why Lian Po was able to become the second most powerful general in the world.

The old and spicy Lian Po led the Zhao army to use the strong and three-dimensional two lines of defense to teach the Qin army led by Wang Yi and Sima Terrier a hard lesson, so that the Qin army could not break through the defense line of the Zhao army even if it paid heavy casualties.

So after a long stalemate, Wu Anjun got white.

As soon as Bai Qi arrived, the military power immediately had nothing to do with Wang Ji and Sima Terrier.

Wang Di was okay, after all, Bai Qi came secretly at that time, and on the surface, he still needed Wang Di to deceive the people of Zhao under such a guise, so although Wang Di was demoted to a deputy general, he finally stayed on the Changping front.

Sima Terrier is different, Sima Terrier is just a deputy general, and he is also a deputy general who is very close to Wang Di, and he has long been marked as a "Fan Sui faction", so it is naturally impossible to get Bai Qi's favor.

So Sima Terrier, the deputy general of the 600,000 Qin army, was driven out of the Changping front line and sent to Yewang City.

Nominally speaking, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing to come to Yewang City, after all, Yewang City is indeed the rear and retreat of the Qin army on the front line, and the strategic significance is absolutely nothing to say.

But for Sima Terrier at that time, it was definitely a bad errand that couldn't be worse.

Why? Because there was no fighting!

Qin's military merit system is clearly written, how many beheadings can be promoted, and then how many beheadings can be promoted again.

But in the military merit system, it has never been said that you can be promoted without fighting!

At that time, it seemed that there was no battle at all in Yewang City.

Hit whom? The Koreans who were frightened by the Qin army, or the Wei people who had been hesitant to join the war?

When he learned from some channels in Xianyang that Wei was likely to become an ally of Qin and start a war against Zhao, Sima Terrier died of this heart to participate in the war, and he almost couldn't find a place to fish.

However, what I never expected was that Sima Terrier's opportunity actually came.

A few days ago, when he learned that Wei Wuji had led a large army south and then turned to the west, Sima Terrier knew that Wei Wuji was coming towards Yewang City.

For Sima Terrier, it's simply – great!

It's really sleepy and meets a pillow, and a bachelor meets a mother-in-law, and is worried that there is no fight, and this enemy is sent to the door by himself.

Sima Terrier was excited in his heart.

Regarding Wei Wuji's prestige, Sima Terrier didn't pay too much attention to it.

After all, you must know that over the years, the Great Qin Xiongshi has been fighting in the east and west under the order of Qin Wangji, and he has already overturned I don't know how many so-called "famous generals" and "generals".

For Sima Terrier, the more famous Wei Wuji is, the better.

In this way, when Sima Terrier defeats Wei Wuji, the more fame and credit Sima Terrier will gain.

To be honest, Sima Terrier was even a little impatient to fight Wei Wuji.

Just as Sima Terrier's thoughts gradually drifted and he began to think about how to defeat Wei Wuji, a personal guard of Sima Terrier suddenly appeared in front of him.

"General, letter from Xianyang!"

Sima Terrier turned around and glanced at the guard, and asked casually, "Is it in the palace or in the house?"

In the palace, of course, it refers to Qin Wangji.

However, the mansion refers not to Sima Terrier's mansion, but to Yinghou's mansion, that is, Fan Sui's mansion.

The guard replied, "Both." As he spoke, he took out two secret letters from his arms, handed them to Sima Terrier, and then retreated quite consciously.

Sima Terrier looked at the two letters in his hand, and after thinking about it, he chose to open the one with the palace logo first.

The letter was written by Qin Wangji himself.

Sima Terrier learned from this letter that Qin Wangji would levy the entire county of Hanoi County to aid the Shangdang, and would pass through the wild king, telling Sima Terrier that he must keep the wild king.

The content of the letter was not unexpected by Sima Terrier.

And the second letter is more interesting.

This second letter should have been written by Fan Sui.

The content of the letter is also very simple, that is, if Sima Terrier finds an opportunity, he must not hesitate, in order to defeat Wei Wuji's troops as soon as possible.

Sima Terrier read the second letter carefully, and then couldn't help muttering.

"Ying Hou...... I seem to be a little anxious, why? ”

Sima Terrier suddenly called the guards.

"Where is the commander of Jin Huang, Han Jun?"

The guard replied, "Twenty miles south of the city."

Sima Terrier pondered for a while and gave the order.

"Ordered Jin Huang to approach Yewang City, and said that the enemy army was coming."

"No!"

Watching the figure of the guards disappear into the city, Sima Terrier's heart slowly became excited.

The war is finally about to begin.
