Chapter 318 God Bless Daqin
Since Xiang Yu died, even if the Chu army had some remnants, it would not be a problem.
While Han Xin ordered people to clear the battlefield, he sent 800 miles to send a victory back to Xianyang. Li Yuan received news of Xiang Yu's defeat on the other side of the Wujiang River and immediately gathered a large army and retreated to Wuguan. He was a cautious person, and the world was rough and everything was hard to say. Especially Zhao Tuo from Lingnan, he did not help each other when fighting in the country. Now that the Qin Dynasty is unified, how he handles himself is still a problem. On the surface, the army is quiet, but in fact everything is unknown.
When the Qin army retreated, the small boat that rescued Yu Ji from the river also went down the river and disappeared into the increasingly heavy night. The cold air in early spring was still strong, and the mud on the river gradually became a little harder.
Xiang Yu's body had long been taken away by the Qin army, who was obsessed with military merits. Now there are scattered corpses by the river, and they are all the knights who died in battle. The valuable things have long been searched for.
War has always been cruel. These knights who followed Xiang Yu may not be all unforgivable people. They are just different positions on both sides and are now silent in the mud.
The water in Wujiang still smells bloody, and the corpses by the river were hit by blood and entered the river.
In the gradually hard mud, a black shadow suddenly appeared. If it weren't for the arrow shaft on this black shadow, no one would have thought it was a person.
Gradually, the man climbed out of the mud with difficulty. The dead branches by the river hung on the arrow shaft on his body, which would stir his wounds. But he didn't say a word, just gritted his teeth and crawled forward.
A ray of light had already appeared in the sky, and this light could barely illuminate the man's face. It was Xiang Yu's general, Zhongli.
Looking at the familiar figures around him, Zhongli's heart was already numb. These people had followed King Xiang to fight in the north and south, but now they have become gradually stiff and cold corpses.
Zhongli insisted on crawling forward, one after another. The frozen blood flowed out from his shoulder again. The arrow shaft shook, which made him very painful. But this pain made Zhongli feel comfortable.
The pain made him temporarily forget the pain in his heart.
I don’t know how far I climbed out, but it seemed that I had left the battlefield in Gaixia and came to a big roadside. Zhongli couldn’t stand it, so he let out a long breath and fainted.
"Grandpa, there seems to be someone on the side of the road." A boy's curious voice came.
On a carriage, two people were old and young.
The old man sighed and said, "Last night, the Qin army fought against the Chu army. After hearing the cheers of the Qin army, King Xiang was probably defeated. Go down and see if this person is a Qin or a Chu person, and whether he is alive. If he is a living Qin person, he will kill him with one knife. If he is a Chu person, he will definitely not let him die. If we go to the north, we must have a strong person to protect him."
The little boy jumped out of the car with a short knife, came to Zhongli, took a look, and turned around and shouted in surprise: "Living Chu people."
The car stopped beside Zhongli, and the old man slowly walked off
Xianyang was just now bright.
The Qin soldiers guarding the city were staying up all night and were about to hand over the task with the new soldiers.
"I heard that the butt of the new top brand of Xixianglou is so round, and the chest is so white. "A veteran who came up to hand over said deliberately exaggeratedly.
"Old Wu, you're so fucking. Even our Xianyang City Gate Captain won't have the chance to see him in person. How can you see him?" The soldier who stayed up all night was not angry and listened to his foolings.
Old Wu raised his eyebrows and said, "I lied to you as my grandson. I'm in love with Xiaoxianglou. I walked in through the back door. The chest, butt, and crotch. I'm afraid the emperor has never seen it."
Everyone was pulling Xiao Huang Ke'er in a mess, and suddenly a soldier shouted: "There is a knight."
With just this sound, I heard a constant clamor. Whether it was the soldiers who came to hand over or guarded all night, they all picked up bows and arrows, and it was probably the enemy's attack. They knew that it was fighting with Xiang Yu, the king of Western Chu, in front.
It is also rumored that Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, had three heads and six arms, and was ten feet tall. He could kill a cow with one foot and crush a bear with one finger. The Fangtian painting halberd, which was as thick as a drum, weighed ten thousand pounds. If he threw it among the soldiers, he could crush a piece of Qin army to death.
A few days ago, I heard from the battle report that Su Jiao, a famous brave general in the Qin Dynasty, faced against Xiang Yu. Just Xiang Yu roared, and Su Jiao was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot, and even vomited his internal organs.
This kind of legend is very popular in Xianyang.
Now that these soldiers are not surprised to see knights coming, the sound of horns sounds at the top of the city.
"There are only five cavalrymen, and they are our cavalrymen of the Great Qin." The lieutenant at the top of the city shouted loudly when he saw the five knights who were exhausted.
But the nervous soldiers did not put down their weapons and still looked at the five knights who were galloping over.
"Jiebao" and the five people saw the Xianyang city tower and began to shout loudly. The token of emergency military given by Han Xin was raised high.
The lieutenant at the city wall saw the token in the hand of the knight and immediately widened his eyes. After confirming that there was no problem, he immediately shouted: "Kaicheng, open the city quickly. Marshal Han Xin's good news, dare not delay."
The city gate of Xianyang slowly opened.
Five knights outside rushed into the Xianyang city gate. They did not stop and rode their horses straight to Xianyang Palace.
"Xiang Yu died in Gaixia."
"Good news, good news, great victory at Gaixia, Xiang Yu died"
A series of good news instantly cut through the morning tranquility of Xianyang City.
Soon, the sound of drums in Xianyang Palace resounded throughout the city. The guards of Xianyang Palace rode fast horses and ran around Xianyang City, awakening the court officials who were still sleeping.
"Isn't it a rest today that the emperor suddenly had an early morning court?" Many ministers rubbed their eyes and had the same question in their hearts.
Soon, car frames appeared on the streets, all of which were carriages of those officials in the court.
After entering the palace ban area of Xianyang Palace, these ministers walked down from the frame one after another, looking at each other with a strong spirit, all wanting to see a trace of information from each other's eyes.
Meng Tian and Meng Yi's frame had already been parked outside, and even Liu Mo, a celebrity who is now around the emperor, arrived early.
While everyone was confused, the palace gate of Xianyang Palace was wide open, and palace guards came out one after another, posting red-colored paper from Xianyang Palace.
Some ministers had sharp eyes and saw the eight words of Xiang Yu's death when they saw the great victory in Gaixia at first glance.
When they coaxed, the crowd immediately exploded. Everyone went crazy.
Since the rebellion of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, the rebels have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain. The Qin Dynasty, who originally thought it would inevitably be in danger, had settled these rebellions in less than two years under the leadership of Hu Hai. Although the country was severely damaged after this chaos, as long as it was reunified, it was not a dream to prosper the Qin Dynasty with the current emperor's means.
"God blesses the Great Qin" an old minister knelt down in the street and burst into tears.
Immediately, a large group of old ministers who had used it by the First Emperor then knelt down and shouted in unison: God bless the Qin Dynasty. To be continued.
