Section 97: One Soldier and One Soldier

In Hangu Pass, the debate over who will guard the pass is approaching the ideal end step by step under Fu Ge's design.

"Ship Fu, why don't we let our Northern Legion stay? Is it because I am old?" While expressing my contempt for Li Shang's conservatism, Shima strode to Fu Ge and loudly asks for orders.

Hangu Pass has been broken, and there is no stopping power to go west. Moreover, for most of his life, the attractiveness of leaving Hangu Pass is much higher than that of entering Xianyang, because fighting with his compatriots is really awkward. On the contrary, he, unwilling to fail, hopes to fight with the Chu army again.

Seeing that Shejian had already been trapped, Fu Ge and Li Shang looked at each other and said, "The old general Shejian has a great responsibility to guard Hangu Pass. In the future, this place may be attacked by Xiang Yu's Chu army--!"

"Chu Army, it's a good time! I just want to be ashamed of the Giant Deer!" Shuma laughed.

"If you think so, then the task of guarding the pass should be given to General Li Shang, because what I need is a mature and steady general who can stick to the pass, rather than an Avenger who only wants to avenge his shame. Remember, an army must have the pride of being unyielding, but must not have the arrogance of complacency." Fu Ge said suddenly seriously.

"Shisan Fu-shu--!" Under Fu Ge's stern eyes, Shuma was speechless for a moment. Why was Julu's defeat? The bravery of the Chu army was on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was not because the Northern Legion underestimated the enemy too much.

"However, keeping steady does not mean defending to the death, it does not mean avoiding war and fearing war. If you have the opportunity to severely damage your opponent, don't hesitate." Fu Ge suddenly said as he looked unwilling to accept his wish.

"Brother Fu, you promised me to stay?" Shuma was surprised and excited, and forgot to call him on the official occasion.

Fu Ge nodded and said, "Shijian obeys the order, and you will lead 7,000 soldiers from our headquarters to guard Hangu Pass. This time, the responsibility for defending the pass is heavy. Judging from the current situation, the general may not be able to hold on for long in Jiyuan. At that time, you are very likely to face several times the fierce attack from the enemy. If you want to defend the pass, you must put in a hundred times the effort."

Shejian was overjoyed and replied in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Shejian is willing to lead the army. If the people are in the lockdown, even if they fight, they will not allow the Chu army to cross this majestic pass."

Shujian is a veteran, rich in combat experience, and the military qualities of the soldiers of the Northern Legion are excellent. After experiencing a painful failure, the arrogance of these soldiers should have been almost done. They should guard this carefully guarded pass, which should be able to withstand the attack of the Chu army.

April 22, 3rd year of the Great Qin II.

Fu Ge left behind 7,000 elite troops from the northern army guarding Hangu Pass, and from the remaining 20,000 troops heading west along the Wei River, heading straight to Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Dynasty.

From Hangu Pass to the west, the open and abundant Guanzhong Plain was the open and abundant Guanzhong Plain. This was the large granary in the early days of the founding of the Great Qin Kingdom. Especially after the opening of the Zheng Kingdom Canal, the First Emperor relied on the grain and fodder of Guanzhong and Bashu to complete the unified hegemony that shocked the world.

Unfortunately, the sons born to me with great talent may not be heroes. At least Hu Hai has no inherited his heroic spirit. The first thing this second emperor did after ascending the throne was to summon labor and build the Afang Palace.

Afang Palace is located on the northern foot of Mount Li, Shanglin Garden on the south bank of the Wei River.

The meaning of the word "Afang" is actually close to each other. The construction of this palace began as early as when the First Emperor unified the six kingdoms. Whenever a country was conquered, the First Emperor would draw a map of the imperial palace of the country with a painter, and then imitate it in the style. However, when the First Emperor passed away on a patrol, the project of the Afang Palace had just begun. Only 145 palaces were originally planned to be completed.

According to the grand plan of the First Emperor, he planned to build many palace courtyards with Afang Palace as the center. After his death, the second emperor Hu Hai ascended the throne. This debauchery emperor who ignored the government was quite enthusiastic about building palaces. He not only completed the front hall of Afang Palace, but also built a harem.

Fu Ge led his army to Lishan on April 25th. It took almost less than three days. The army broke through several counties and advanced to a place not far from Xianyang. The people of Guanzhong who were enslaved to build palaces were excited when they heard the news, and they all picked up weapons to kill the captains who supervised the supervisor and ran to join.

Even Fu Ge, the person involved, couldn't believe such a "shenfast" marching, until he met Sima Xin, who fled from Xianyang in a hurry at the foot of Li Mountain.

Sima Xin, who finally escaped from Xianyang City after being covered by Sima Liang, escaped in a mess. Yan Le deserves the reputation of "King of Hell". After receiving the order of Zhao Gao, the pursuit was like an invisible tightening whip. As long as Sima Xin relaxed a little, the strangled whip came mercilessly. In these seven or eight days, in order to avoid the pursuit, Sima Xin suffered a lot. Since the post road to the east was guarded by Yan Le's heavy troops, he had to detour to the south bank of the Wei River and hope to find a way to escape.

He was also lucky. Before being caught up by Yan Le, he was hit by a small vanguard force sent by Fu Ge.

Afang Palace, Ganquan Palace.

The exhausted Sima Xin has been arranged to rest in the palace next to her. As a person who has passed his prime, Sima Xin's energy is far less than that when she was young, the surprise brought by Fu Ge's army in Lishan was far less than the strong sleepiness given by the fatigue.

Perhaps, I will understand all the questions when I wake up, so now I have a nap? When my eyes slowly close, Sima Xin's mind is messy, the emperor's ruthlessness, Zhao Gao's conspiracy, Sima Liang's shouts, and the nightmare of pursuit-.
