The Qin army's big tent.
Xiao Yuan was in the command post directly above, and generals at all levels stood on both sides below, reporting on their respective battle situations one by one.
Not long after, Zhou Che walked in. His armor was still full of stains and he had a gray face. He knelt down, clasped his fists and said, "See you, Your Majesty."
As he said that, he glanced at Xiao Yuan cautiously, and then quickly lowered his head.
The tent became quiet.
The destruction of Zhou Che's troops was entirely because he ignored military orders and entered Wengcheng rashly, resulting in the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers in vain and affecting the entire war situation.
After staring at him coldly for a while, Xiao Yuan said coldly: "Push it out and chop it."
ah! ? As soon as these words were spoken, not only the generals were frightened, but Zhou Che himself turned pale with fright, cold sweat broke out instantly, and he began to kowtow repeatedly, and his tone became trembling: "Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, spare my life."
But regardless of the number of guards, two people were already walking towards this side after receiving the order.
At this time, a general stood up quickly, cupped his fists and saluted: "Your Majesty, please calm down."
Yang Heng also moved the corner of his mouth and said: "Although Zhou Che violated military law, he is very loyal. Please remember his past military exploits and spare his life."
"Your Majesty."
Many generals stood up to plead for mercy, but Xiao Yuan shouted sharply: "No one is allowed to plead for mercy!"
As he spoke, he became angry and pointed at Zhou Che who was kneeling below: "A common man disobeyed military orders! Thousands of my soldiers died tragically in Wengcheng! Just because you were greedy for merit and rushed forward!"
"This is war!"
"The military order I gave you is clear! Let you pretend to attack Wengcheng! You must not go any further! But what about you! For your own selfishness, you have let so many soldiers die in vain!"
The more Xiao Yuan spoke, the more excited he became.
Zhou Che had already burst into tears: "I know the crime, I know the crime."
"Push it down and behead him in public!" Xiao Yuan said coldly again, military orders are military orders, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart, but at such a critical moment, it was absolutely impossible not to kill Zhou Che.
After receiving the order, the guard no longer hesitated and started pulling Zhou Che away from left to right.
While the latter was being dragged out, he couldn't help crying and crying: "Please, Your Majesty, let me have my merits punished. I would rather die on the battlefield than die under military law."
"Your Majesty"
Listening to his shout, Xiao Yuan turned his head slightly and couldn't help but close his eyes.
The generals below lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything, and none of the civilian advisers asked for mercy. This shows that Zhou Che must be killed.
It wasn't until a while later that Jiang Yi stood up, raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, now that the gate of Wengcheng has been broken, is it possible to launch a certain offensive here?"
Xiao Yuan took a deep breath to calm down, then waved his hands decisively and said: "It's still not right. The Ling Army's deployment in Wengcheng is too complete, and they are condescending, which is equivalent to killing the ground. Compared with the hard battle, it is better to fight with them to defend the city. Bar."
"Your Majesty is wise." Su Yi took over and said: "Although the Ling Army withstood today's battle, as far as the entire battle situation is concerned, the momentum of the frontal battlefield has long been suppressed. If this continues, if nothing happens, the Ling Army will withstand the battle." The state will be destroyed in a few days!”
Xiao Yuandao: "The tactics for attacking Lingzhou remain unchanged. All generals have returned to camp to prepare for tomorrow's strong attack."
"No!" People clasped their fists in unison.
After everyone left, Xiao Yuan called Lin Chu again. After thinking for a while, he asked, "What is the current situation in Lingzhou City?"
Lin Chu said: "The streets in the city are in a mess, the shops are closed, the people are closed, and people in the government and the public are in panic. If King Ling hadn't reactivated Bu Shuo, there would have been a mutiny. Many Ling Kingdom officials also tried to persuade them to surrender."
"At this point, King Ling is still stubbornly resisting. With such persistence, he still has to negotiate with me about the conditions for the Eastern Territory." Xiao Yuan seemed to mutter to himself: "But I cannot agree to this condition no matter what. he."
After saying this, he looked at Lin Chu and said, "Where is Chen Jing, how are he doing recently? Has his identity information been further improved? Is he still in danger?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have already done everything well for you. He is not in danger for the time being." Lin Chu said.
"That's good." Xiao Yuan nodded and said seriously: "The battle of Lingzhou is the last battle to annihilate Dongling. Again, tell him not to act rashly again, and lie dormant completely, waiting for Lingzhou's attack. recover."
For such an officer who has been hiding on the secret front, his contribution is very great. Lin Chu also replied seriously: "Yes! The minister will find a way to warn him."
At the same time, Lingzhou City.
Night has fallen, and there is a bright moon in the sky, but under the shroud of war, how many people in Lingzhou cannot sleep tonight.
Si Li camp.
Murong Hongye was drinking in the room. Although he invited Chen Jing, he was drinking one glass after another, as if he was drinking.
After another glass of wine, Murong Hongye looked sad and said in a confiding tone: "Chen Jing, how is your sister at home? Now that the Qin army is outside the city, you should settle down well."
There is a lonely sister at home. This is Chen Jing's identity information in Lingguo. When the detailed incident happened and Murong Hongye returned to the capital, he did a lot of secret verification. Thanks to Lin Chu's preparations in advance, he was able to avoid it. to exposure.
To be able to achieve the position of commander of the ceremony camp, he has never really trusted anyone.
Hearing this, Chen Jing had a drink with him, "I'm in a humble position. Thank you for your concern. I've already sent some gold and silver. My sister is almost settled."
"That's good." Murong Hongye nodded and said slightly drunkenly: "We, the Liying Camp, only obey your Majesty's orders. We have been fighting with the Qin State. We have too much blood on our hands. If we really reach the last step, I'm afraid Qin The country will not forgive us.”
Having said this, he paused and said desolately: "Let's make arrangements early to settle down our family so that they can have a place for the rest of their lives."
Murong Hongye's current state is that he has been worried that he will be liquidated. He also understands that he can only follow the Spirit King until the end.
Chen Jingze said: "I know my humble position, and I have long been prepared to die with my country."
"Haha." Murong Hongye smiled, with a hint of despair in his tone: "Let's just say you are as timid as a mouse. Sometimes, you are bold and careful. Chen Jing, I even doubt whether you are the biggest one in the Qin Kingdom. The detailed leader."
This was a casual remark after drinking. Chen Jing responded calmly, but immediately looked frightened and said quickly: "Why do you say this, sir? The loyalty of humble officials can be learned from the sun and the moon. Even humble officials don't want to die, but Han of Qin State Feng, if I lose my life, the Qin army will not let me go."
"As long as you understand, the situation is getting worse and worse." Murong Hongye glanced at him, held the cup and said, "Come, have a drink."
