After a night's attack, Qin's cavalry galloped like lightning.
The distance of a hundred miles was instantly shortened.
the next day.
Outside Liangguo Pass, Lian Xiao arrived in front of the Emperor's camp.
Behind him, there were countless Qin cavalry. As far as the eye could see, it was so dark that one could not see the end.
On such a huge scale, the momentum is terrifying.
After learning the news, Shang Rui nervously came to the camp surrounded by a group of royal ministers.
Looking at the size of the cavalry on the opposite side, he first swallowed, and then said in a trembling voice: "Where did this army come from?"
"This is Qin's cavalry, coming to welcome His Majesty." Wei Qing beside him said lukewarmly.
"What? Is this the Qin army?" Shang Rui was startled and said subconsciously: "But, I didn't notify the King of Qin."
Wei Qing said: "Haha, this doesn't just show that the King of Qin is determined to protect the empire. At this time, he has traveled thousands of miles to come to the rescue. Your Majesty must pay attention to it."
"This, this..." Shang Rui didn't know what to say and couldn't help but look around.
All the imperial ministers also lost their voices.
In this situation, what else can be said? The Qin army is right in front of us, and the Liang Kingdom does not turn on or off. Do we still have a choice?
The concubine's charming eyes were bright, her beautiful eyes moved slightly, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
At this moment, a minister couldn't help it anymore and said with his hands raised: "Your Majesty, the King of Qin is a tiger and a wolf. If the imperial court goes to Qin, it will be like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth."
"Then, what do you think we should do?" Shang Rui asked in panic.
Before the minister could reply, Wei Qing sneered: "Huh, in this situation, the Qin army has already come thousands of miles away. If you don't follow it, do you think it's possible?"
These words hinted at something.
When people heard this, they all looked at each other.
Now that the empire is controlled by the Yangzhou Army, there is no need to say what Wei Qing's words represent.
No one went to refute. After Shang Rui looked around in confusion again, he stammered: "Since the King of Qin has the heart to protect the empire, I... I will naturally go to Qin."
"Your Majesty, please!" Wei Qing extended his hand directly.
Next, the empire joined the Qin army. Lian Xiao just hugged Shang Rui and ignored him after meeting him. Instead, he immediately came together with Wei Qing and said seriously:
"Go quickly! The king is in a hurry!"
After receiving the emperor, the Qin army began to retreat quickly and evacuated from the border of Liang State.
The general of the Liang Army, watching this scene from the top of Guannei City, couldn't help but shook his head: "Hey, why do you think this King of Qin came so far to pick up the emperor?"
After hearing this, General Youbiao immediately said: "General, I think we should send a letter to the king immediately to report the situation here."
"Yes." General Liang nodded. Without King Liang's order, he would certainly not be able to intercept the Qin army.
After the former empire destroyed Jin, due to the expansion of their territory, the current Qin and Liang states were actually adjacent to each other.
Therefore, under Lian Xiao's constant urging, it wasn't long before Shang Rui was escorted to the Qin border by the Qin army.
But here, Lian Xiao unexpectedly met Xuan Jun.
The number of Xuan's troops was also very large, and the cavalry was overwhelming.
When he saw this scene, Lian Xiao immediately asked Wei Qing to send the emperor back to the country. Then he pulled the reins, led a large number of cavalry, stood there with their guns drawn, and shouted in a loud voice:
"I am General Lian Xiao! If his team dares to enter Qin, our country will treat it as a provocation to war!"
In the current situation, Lian Xiao was face to face with Xuan Jun, not far apart, and behind him, Wei Qing was leading the emperor to retreat into the country.
When Yan Qi, the commander-in-chief of Xuan Kingdom, heard the shout, his face turned ugly and he did not respond for a long time.
"This, Yan Shuai..." General Youxuan couldn't help but say.
Yan Qi raised his hand to interrupt him, and said with a sullen face: "Our army cannot enter the Qin State, otherwise, it will inevitably trigger a war between the two countries. You and I cannot bear this responsibility."
"But... the emperor is right in front, within easy reach, but he was taken away by the Qin army!" General Xuan said unwillingly.
"Then what can be done!" Yan Qi said angrily: "If we provoke a war between the two countries, what will your Majesty say? And now our military strength should be about the same as that of the Qin army. Are we sure of victory?"
"Alas!" After hearing what he said, General Xuan couldn't help but sigh.
"Let's go!" Yan Qi pulled the reins and turned the horse's head.
Seeing that Xuan Jun's front team changed to the rear team, Lian Xiao stayed for a while and then turned his horse's head.
A few days later, on the outskirts of Jinzhou.
More than 100,000 Qin army infantry were waiting in formation.
The flags are fluttering, and the halberds are like a forest.
Black armor and red tassels cover the sky and the earth.
A chilling atmosphere filled the whole place.
Shang Rui was escorted here, with his concubine beside him, and a group of imperial ministers behind him, passing through the middle passage.
Along the way, Shang Rui's Adam's apple slid from time to time, looking at the Qin troops with straight waists and halberds on both sides, and he was worried.
A group of imperial ministers even had sweat on their foreheads.
Right in front, Xiao Yuan was dressed in royal robes, wearing a royal crown on his head, nine strings of jade beads on his forehead, and the King of Qin's Sword hanging on his waist. He was waiting patiently.
A moment later, Shang Rui came here. Before he could speak, Xiao Yuan stepped forward, unfolded his sleeves, cupped his hands and said:
"My lord, Xiao Yuan, King of Qin, is here to see your majesty. Long live my emperor."
He directly handed over his hand without even bending his waist. In front of the emperor, this was already extremely disrespectful. If the truth was told, it would be enough to be beheaded.
Seeing this, all the imperial ministers fell silent, and Prime Minister Dong Hua swallowed hard.
They didn't dare to accuse, but there were always radical literati. One minister immediately became angry and couldn't help but pointed at Xiao Yuan:
"The King of Qin is rude! How dare you not kneel before the Emperor!"
"Huh!?" Xiao Yuan's face darkened, and he immediately glanced over coldly.
Following his movements, the generals of the Qin Army directly pressed their hands on the hilts of their swords at their waists, as if they were about to draw their swords.
In this situation, the minister was startled, and immediately shut up and became silent.
King Qin's ferocity made the ministers of the imperial court remain silent.
Shang Rui forced a smile: "Qin Jun, you don't need to be polite, you don't need to be polite..."
"Your Majesty, please." Xiao Yuan glanced at the minister again, then turned sideways and stretched out his hand.
"Ah? Please, please..." Shang Rui echoed repeatedly, following Xiao Yuan up to the temporary high platform.
The concubine's love followed him, her beautiful eyes moving around, lingering on Xiao Yuan from time to time.
After arriving at the high platform, standing on it and looking down, the scene became even more majestic.
More than 100,000 soldiers of the Qin army looked at a line horizontally and diagonally, stretching to the sky and the earth, with no end in sight.
The black battle armor, the red tassel on the top of the head, and the numerous halberds, the military appearance is so strong.
Shang Rui glanced slowly and was shocked by this scene. At the same time, he said in a trembling voice:
"The empire is in crisis. My dear... My dear, I traveled thousands of miles to rescue you. I, I am very happy..."
"Your Majesty is serious." Xiao Yuan said in a calm voice: "This is not a place to stay for a long time. After Your Majesty reviews the troops, you should return to Qinzhou early with me."
"Ah?" Shang Rui's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but look at Xiao Yuan, and said cautiously: "But, I love you, I feel that Qinzhou is too remote, and I will definitely not be comfortable living there, so why not, Why don't you love me and protect me and return to the imperial capital?"
"It is definitely impossible to return to the imperial capital now. Your Majesty, please be patient and settle down in Qinzhou first." Xiao Yuan refused directly.
"But, but..."
Shang Rui wanted to say something else, but Xiao Yuan had already pulled out the King of Qin Sword fiercely.
The clear and sweet sound of unsheathing sounded, and following his movements, the Qin army soldiers below began to hit the ground with their halberds and heavy shields in unison, with uniform movements:
"My King Ten Thousand Years——"
"The Qin Kingdom has lasted for ten thousand years——"
