At the same time, the quarrel about the Eternal Emperor in the chat group did not end, but intensified.
Ming Sizong Zhu Youjian: First Emperor, I admit that your achievements are great, but during your reign, you burned books and harassed Confucians! Parade to seek immortality!
Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng: Ridiculous! When did I cheat on Confucius! This is all a smear campaign by the Han Dynasty people!
Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng: I killed the sorcerer! Not a Confucian scholar! Moreover, isn’t chat group a fairy tale?
Zhu Youjian, Emperor Sizong of the Ming Dynasty: After the death of the second generation of the Qin Dynasty, this is not smeared by the Han Dynasty, right?
Zhu Youjian, Emperor Sizong of the Ming Dynasty: Hu Hai was so extravagant and lustful that he even killed all his brothers and sisters.
Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng: In terms of merit alone, can I still not be called the emperor of the ages?
Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng: I don’t believe that in the dynasty established by the group leader, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, but there were not many unfilial descendants?
The Hongwu plane of the Ming Dynasty.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this scene, his face suddenly darkened, he tapped the system interface and said:
"Ahem, I think we can let future generations comment on the merits and demerits of the emperor. An emperor through the ages is just a false name."
"By the way, First Emperor, I feel a little weak when I hear your voice. Do you want me to help you?"
The plane of the First Emperor of Qin Dynasty.
Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng saw this and said calmly:
"Lord Bu Lao, thank you for your trouble. With me here, those remnants of the Six Nations will never dare to rebel."
Just as Zhu Yuanzhang's prestige in the Ming Dynasty was unparalleled, in the Qin Empire, Ying Zheng also had this confidence.
As long as he is alive, those remnants of the Six Nations will always be like mice, hiding in damp cellars and shivering.
…
The Hongwu plane of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang was not surprised to see Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng reject his kindness.
He could feel that Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng was the kind of extremely proud emperor who seemed to take those false reputations very seriously.
Moreover, I always think about immortality.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly had a headache when he thought of the actions of later emperors recorded in the history books of the Ming Dynasty.
…
The Chongzhen plane of the Ming Dynasty.
When Zhu Youjian saw that Grandfather Taizu had already spoken, he naturally did not dare to talk nonsense anymore. He closed the system interface and reviewed the memorial again.
In his mind, he was thinking rapidly.
Through transactions with Tang Taizong Li Shimin and Qin Shihuang Yingzheng, Zhu Youjian found that he seemed to have found a way to make a fortune...no, it was a shortcut to buying grain.
Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian turned his attention to the chat group, the Holy Queen Zetian Shun, Wu Zetian, and murmured:
"Has Wu Zetian ascended the throne now?"
"If I trade Tang Dynasty history books with her, can I get another 200,000 shi of grain?"
…
In front of Tongguan.
I saw a group of naked soldiers rushing to the gate of Tongguan City like a swarm of bees, intending to force their way in.
The defenders on the Tongguan city wall were wearing armor, bows and arrows, and they paid no attention to the pleas of the defeated soldiers.
Gradually, more and more defeated troops gathered under Tongguan. Looking from a distance, there were tens of thousands of them.
A moment later, Sun Chuanting led hundreds of people to the foot of the Tongguan city wall, raised his head, and shouted:
"Open the city gate quickly!"
"General Sun Chuanting, the army of the intruder Li Zicheng is coming soon!"
On the city wall.
Wei Guogong Xu Da looked at Li Banghua, the censor of Zuodu, beside him, and asked:
"Master Li, take a closer look. Is that person Sun Chuanting?"
Li Banghua, the censor of Zuodu, poked his head out from the city wall and saw the densely packed broken soldiers gathering under the city. He couldn't tell who was who and shouted:
"Where is General Sun?"
Sun Chuanting raised his head, saw Li Banghua, and shouted:
"Master Li?"
However, when they saw someone finally responding on the Tongguan City Wall, everyone begged loudly.
Duke Xu Da of Wei watched this scene quietly and asked:
"Master Li, are the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty already so weak?"
"I thought Sun Chuanting could hold on for a few more days, but I didn't expect that he would be defeated so quickly."
After Xu Da led an army of 50,000 people to leave Shuntian Prefecture, they rushed all the way. Who would have thought that they arrived at Tongguan last night and encountered a rout today.
Li Banghua smiled awkwardly and said:
"Wei Guogong, today's Ming Dynasty is not the Hongwu period after all."
Dozens of seconds later, after seeing Sun Chuanting using his prestige to overwhelm the defeated troops, Xu Da ordered his soldiers to drop a basket and said:
"General Sun, come up and talk."
When Sun Chuanting saw this, he was confused and had no choice but to sit on the basket and be pulled to the city wall.
When he saw the defenders at Tongguan Pass, Sun Chuanting's pupils shrank and he murmured:
"Is this really the Ming army?"
After getting off the basket, Sun Chuanting looked at Li Banghua and asked doubtfully:
"Master Li, what's going on?"
"Could it be that His Majesty has sent reinforcements again?"
Xu Da looked Sun Chuanting up and down and asked:
"You just said that the intruder Li Zicheng's army is coming soon? How many people are there?"
Thinking of the causes and consequences of his hasty exit and the seven consecutive days of heavy rain, Sun Chuanting said with an ugly face:
"The intruder Li Zicheng now has an army of millions, but most of them are desperate refugees."
"As long as we hold on to Tongguan, the intruder Li Zicheng's million-strong army will collapse without a fight before May."
In fact, before sending troops, Sun Chuanting mentioned this method in his memorial, but...
Wei Guogong Xu Da called one of his guards, looked at Sun Chuanting and said:
"General Sun, you will lead your soldiers and set up camp outside the city. If the intruder Li Zicheng attacks, just defend the camp."
Upon hearing this, Sun Chuanting glanced at the soldiers standing on both sides, then at the defeated soldiers under the city wall, and said with a wry smile:
"That's fine, there are still tens of thousands of broken troops behind. If the intruders take this opportunity to attack Tongguan, we will all be the sinners of the Ming Dynasty."
Subsequently, Xu Da ordered thousands of soldiers to send half of the food carried on this expedition out of Tongguan and handed it over to Sun Chuanting.
Sun Chuanting also relied on the food to quickly stabilize the morale of the army, arrange for the army to set up camp and make fires for cooking.
On the city wall.
Li Banghua saw the defeated troops coming from a distance, and asked doubtfully:
"Wei Guogong, are you planning to defend Tongguan?"
"With only fifty thousand troops, can we hold it? Why not let General Sun and others enter the city?"
Xu Da looked into the distance and explained:
"Lord Li, if I were Li Zicheng, I would definitely send people to sneak into the defeated troops, falsely open the city gate, and take advantage of the situation to attack Tongguan."
"It is also for this reason that those defeated troops are not allowed to enter the city."
As he spoke, Xu Da was very calm and unhurried. Even if he was alone in commanding an army of 50,000, those old brothers would follow Lan Yu to attack Zhang Xianzhong.
He also has the confidence to win the battle.
After a while.
Outside Tongguan City, the smell of rice overflowed. The defeated soldiers who had been hungry all the way finally had a good meal and worked hard to build camps.
…
at dusk.
A defeated army of thousands of people came from a distance. Sun Chuanting stood at the gate of the camp, preparing to send people to take these soldiers into the camp.
When he heard the sound of horse hooves behind the soldiers, his expression changed drastically and he quickly summoned the troops in the camp.
