Three days later, Shanyuguan.
At the meeting place, all the generals of the Qin army gathered together, all wearing armor and hanging swords on their waists. They stood on the left and right. Zhang Gongyou, the governor of Yiyang County, was also among them.
After Shuai's case, Su Yi had a gloomy face and was staring coldly at He Zhen who was standing in the middle: "How dare you disobey military orders!?"
Hearing this, the latter immediately said: "Commander Su clearly knows that the general does not dare to disobey military orders, but just abandons Yiyang like this. I am very puzzled."
"You don't understand?" Su Yi laughed angrily and said unceremoniously: "This is a military order! Under military orders, there is no reason!"
"Yes, the general will finally be convicted." He Zhen lowered his head.
"Somebody come!"
"Here!" The two guards immediately stepped inside.
Su Yi was still angry and pointed at He Zhen: "Drag this man down! Behead him in public to show the military law!"
ah! ? All the generals were shocked when they heard this.
But no matter how many guards there are, the coach has orders to immediately hold He Zhen on his left and right.
"Wait a minute!" Peng Shuang stood up and said sternly: "General He has outstanding military exploits. He has been with me for many years and has killed many enemies. How can he be beheaded just because of a single mistake?"
"Yes, Commander Su, General He is very loyal. If he dies under military orders, it will be like suffering for his relatives and rejoicing for his enemies..."
"Today the enemy is approaching, and it is a taboo to kill the general before the battle, fearing that the morale of the army will be shaken..."
"Please Su Shuai think twice..."
All the generals on the left and right stood up and began to plead for He Zhen. From this, it was not difficult to see that He Zhen was worthy of recognition.
At this time, Zhang Gongyou also stood up, raised his hands and said: "Commander Su, please calm down. Although General He Zhen disobeyed military orders, his starting point was from the perspective of our army, because he did not want to lose ground. This shows that The general is determined to resist the enemy. Commander Su must understand this and cannot defeat my good general..."
Everyone begged for mercy. He Zhen was moved and quickly knelt down on one knee and intervened: "Su Shuai! I will follow the king and fight for several years. I have already put life and death aside, but even if I have to die, I would rather die on the battlefield, wrapped in horse leather, no matter what. I wish I could die under the military orders out of frustration!"
Su Yi's face was still gloomy.
It wasn't until a while later that he waved his hand to signal the guards to step back, and then said coldly: "He Zhen! If the generals hadn't interceded with Master Zhang, I wouldn't have spared you! Your head will be sent here first!" You're going to take credit for your crime!"
"Yes! Thank you Su Shuai!" He Zhen looked surprised, and everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Don't think Su Yi is joking, he really wants to kill He Zhen.
After the matter was settled, he looked at Zhang Gongyou again and said, "As for the matter in Yiyang, I have to ask Mr. Zhang why he brought the people to the pass."
"This was not done by the officials, but by the people who fled Yiyang spontaneously." Zhang Gongyou said.
"Even so, we can't leave them alone. These people are not from my old Qin, but from the former Jin. You don't need to care about their life or death." Su Yi said.
"This, these are the people under the rule of our Qin State, how can we judge it by region! They fled to the pass, doesn't it just show that our Qin State's policies are deeply popular among the people! Why did Su Shuai say this!" Zhang Gongyou argued.
"I don't care about politics, I only care about military affairs. Does Mr. Zhang know how many enemy soldiers are mixed among these refugees?" Su Yi said in a serious voice.
"This, this..." Zhang Gongyou didn't know how to answer.
"Okay!" Su Yi interrupted him and said: "These refugees have already entered the customs. There are some enemy troops who are making moves. That's for sure. Don't let them get close to our camp. In addition, I will allocate some troops to Master Zhang." Detach your troops and send these people to the back, don't let them get in the way near Shanyuguan."
"This... is, the official knows." Zhang Gongyou bowed his hands.
After saying this, Su Yi looked around again and said straight to the point: "We are discussing the troops now. According to our army's intelligence, 300,000 spirit troops have almost entered Yiyang. The Wu and Chu armies are also marching towards Shanyuguan. At the current speed, It seems that in about five days, the coalition forces will march outside the pass and approach the city."
"Beyond Shanyu Pass, the terrain is open and there are no fortresses. With the superior strength of the coalition forces, in order to prevent being surrounded from all sides, it is not suitable for our army to fight decisively outside the pass. This is why the king gave up on Yiyang."
"Shanyu Pass is uniquely blessed by nature and can guard the dangerous points. It serves as a barrier for our Qin. As long as we hold this place, the coalition forces will not advance even an inch and the other countries will tire themselves out!"
After saying this, he raised his voice and shouted: "Goldman Sachs!"
"The general is here!" The latter quickly stepped out of the queue and clasped his fists.
"How are the preparations for Stone Rolling Wood?" Su Yi asked directly.
"Back to Commander Su, after pre-war preparations, more than a thousand rocks have been quarried and sent to the front line for city defense. They can be used at any time." Goldman Sachs returned.
"If these are not enough, tell the Pingsha County Magistrate and ask him to recruit civilians in the county to continue quarrying stones and send them to our army."
Pingsha County, dozens of miles away from Shanyu Pass, is the first city he passes through after entering the pass. When Goldman heard this, he immediately accepted the order: "Promise!"
"Wang Lin!" Su Yi shouted again.
"The general is here!"
"How are you preparing the kerosene?"
"Going back to Commander Su, we have collected 641 jars. They are all stockpiled in the army and can be used at any time."
"If it's not enough, send a letter to the county magistrates in various places in the pass immediately, asking them to collect kerosene from people's homes and send them to the front line one by one. The more the better. Tell these county magistrates that this is a wartime military order, and anyone who disobeys the order will be executed!"
"promise!"
"Quartermaster!" Su Yi shouted again.
"The general is here!"
"Are the provisions and weapons ready?"
"Go back to Su Shuai, the first batch of food and grass can be used for three months, and the weapons are complete."
"How are the arrows?"
"Three hundred thousand."
"It's far from enough. Report it to the king and ask for more powerful bows and crossbows."
"No!" the quartermaster clasped his fists and accepted the order.
He asked three questions in succession, but each time he couldn't answer enough. The generals couldn't help but look at each other.
Su Yi stood up and said sternly: "This war will not end in a month or two. All countries have united and brought out all their elites to get a glimpse of our Great Qin! It will definitely be a protracted and fierce battle! Everyone, You should know that this is not only a battle for Qin, but also the best opportunity to defeat other countries!"
"Once we, the Qin Dynasty, win this battle, from now on, all other countries will no longer have the power to defeat Qin! With your great talents and great strategies, you will surely unify the world!"
"Everyone, think about it. When the time comes, the king will conquer all the countries, gain honors, and create a new empire. You and I will be the fathers of the empire!"
The painting of this cake is undoubtedly inspiring to the generals. When people heard the words, they also showed excitement, and they stood up straight and were in high spirits.
Su Yi looked around again and said in a loud voice: "There is no doubt about our fighting spirit! The morale of our soldiers is also as high as a rainbow, so even though the enemy army is numerous, there is nothing to fear!"
