Chapter 974: Soldiers Coming to Xianyang (Third Update)
Although Qin Wang Chu was an indecisive person, when he made a decision, the king of Qin became very decisive again.
On the night of the decision, Qin Wang Chu fled Xianyang City with his family and 50,000 Qin troops overnight and headed south.
The big movements of these tens of thousands of people naturally can't be hidden from others, and when Qin Wang Chu left Xianyang, the Xianyang City behind him was already crying.
Although they had fled as quickly as possible, the movements of Qin Wang Chu and his party still did not hide from Zhao Jun's scouts.
On the afternoon of the second day after the evacuation of Xianyang, the traces of Qin Wang Chu and his army had already been discovered by the scouts of the Zhao army.
On the third day, the cavalry of the Zhao army began to appear behind the Qin army one after another, because the Qin army lacked cavalry, and the people were panicked when retreating, so the Qin army did not launch any counterattack against the Zhao army, but accelerated the pace of escape.
On the morning of the fourth day, a cavalry force of 20,000 men under the leadership of Yi Qu Sheng caught up.
King Chu of Qin left 5,000 Qin soldiers as outcasts to delay the pursuit of the Zhao cavalry, and the main force continued to retreat south.
After an extremely fierce battle, at dusk that day, Yiqu Sheng finally annihilated the 5,000 very heroic Qin troops after the break.
On the sixth day, Yiqu Sheng broke through the three broken rear troops of the Qin army, and it seemed that he was about to catch up with Qin Wang Chu.
On the seventh day, just two hours before Yiqu Sheng arrived, Qin Wang Chu withdrew into the Baochu Road with 30,000 remnants of the defeated generals.
Because the valley pass of the Baochuan Road is really easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the canyon road here is completely unsuitable for the cavalry to fight, so Yiqu Sheng had to accept the fact that Qin Wang Chu had successfully retreated after several tentative attacks, and decided to give up the pursuit.
Just when Yiqusheng and Qin Wang Chu were pursuing and escaping, the army of Zhao led by Li Mu had also come to Xianyang City and surrounded this Xiongcheng.
Looking at Xianyang City in front of him, the old general Pang Xuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I think when I traveled to various countries with my division, I also came here. Although Xianyang lived in the west in the past, one move here could shock the world, and it was the power of the world's overlord. Unexpectedly, Xianyang has fallen to such a point now. ”
Li Mu didn't have so many thoughts as Pang Xuan, facing the city in front of him, Li Mu just asked the scout captain in front of him: "Qin Wang Chu has fled, so who is the main general in the city?" ”
The captain of the scout replied: "Back to the Governor, according to the Qin people we have captured, the current city should be Wuchengjun Lü Buwei as the main general. ”
"Wu Chengjun Lu Buwei?" The corners of Li Mu's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked up at the tall and majestic head of Xianyang City, and then said to Pang Xuan beside him with great certainty: "Pang Qing, breaking Xianyang will be today." ”
"Huh?" Pang Xuan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.
Just when Li Mu was looking at the head of Xianyang City, Lu Buwei at the head of Xianyang City was also quietly looking at the army of Zhao Guo under the city.
followed Lu Buwei and several of Lu Buwei's absolute henchmen.
If you stand in Lü Buwei's position and look around, you will find that there are only about 1,000 defenders standing on the huge Xianyang east city wall that is nearly ten miles long.
It is worth mentioning that these defenders are not actually Qin troops in the real sense, but the doormen and slaves in Lü Buwei's personal mansion, which belong to Lü Buwei's personal army.
As for the defenders who were supposed to be here......
Lü Buwei asked very calmly, "How many people are still in the city?" ”
A henchman whispered: "Your Majesty, since the king escaped...... After the move, many of the soldiers and civilians in the city escaped, and now there are probably less than 100,000 people still in the city. ”
As the king of a country, the escape of Qin Wang Chu was fatal to the Qin army and civilians, many Qin nobles followed Qin Wang Chu to retreat westward, and the remaining civilians also fled here in panic, trying to escape the invasion of war.
Lü Buwei continued to ask: "Is the 10,000 defenders that the king gave me almost all escaped?" ”
The henchman replied: "Back to the king, the minister has just gone to see it, and now there is no one in ten in the military camp." ”
Listening to all this, Lu Buwei didn't have any fluctuations in his heart, and even wanted to laugh a little.
Looking at Zhao Jun outside the city, Lu Buwei was not afraid, but was still a little excited.
It's been ten years.
How many decades can there be in life?
I think that because of Zhao Dan's words, Lü Buwei had to come to Qin State alone and fought for Zhao Dan's unification for a full ten years.
In the past ten years, Lü Buwei, as a spy, spent almost every day in fear.
On many nights, before closing his eyes, Lü Buwei even thought that he might wake up the next day to find that his mansion was surrounded by a large group of men led by Hou, and then he was beheaded all over the house.
Especially in the past two years, whether it is Hou or Cai Ze, their secret investigation of Xianyang City has given Lü Buwei great psychological pressure, and even sometimes directly made Lü Buwei unable to sleep at night and insomnia all night long.
Fortunately, this is finally coming to an end.
Today is the time to put an end to this damn everything!
Lü Buwei remembers one thing very clearly.
The reason why Lü Buwei was willing to come to the Qin State back then, in addition to having to do so because his plan to cultivate Qin Wang Chu was discovered by Zhao Dan, a more important reason was Zhao Dan's promise.
Zhao Dan had already said at that time that as long as Lü Buwei returned, then the position of Zhao State's prime minister would be Lü Buwei's!
As soon as he thought of this, Lu Buwei's heart thumped again, both expectant and a little apprehensive.
After all, Lü Buwei also knows very well that Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, has been in control of the power of Zhao State since Zhao Dan ascended the throne, and has assisted Zhao Dan for more than ten years.
Will King Zhao really keep his promise back then and give Lü Buwei Xiangbang the position?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?" The call of his henchmen brought Lü Buwei back to reality.
I saw this henchman say: "Your Majesty, this Zhao army has arrived in the city, and I want to come...... It's also time. ”
Lu Buwei nodded, a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Since stepping into the territory of Qin with Qin Wang Chu ten years ago, Lü Buwei has never shown such a smile as today.
A smile of relief, a smile of relief.
I saw that this Xiangbang of the Qin State, at this moment, the supreme garrison commander of Xianyang City coughed lightly, and then said in an extremely firm tone: "Since this is the case, then open the city gate." ”
