On that day, the Emperor of Chu began a nationwide mobilization.
He planned to send more soldiers to the Hangu Pass area to be under Wu Qi's command.
Because he knew that Ying Yuan had led the army in person.
If we could seize this opportunity to capture the Qin emperor alive, then victory or defeat in this war would no longer matter.
Because the State of Chu could always gain some benefits from Ying Yuan.
No war is started easily.
Once you choose to go to war with a country, you must be thinking about gaining enough benefits.
Wu Qi also began to order a fierce attack on Hangu Pass.
It would be best if we could take this level before Ying Yuan arrives.
Even if we can't take it, it doesn't matter. After all, it can consume the enemy's strength in defending the city.
For Wu Qilai, the war has just begun and he has enough confidence.
Because behind him was the State of Chu, which was stronger than the State of Qin in terms of comprehensive national strength.
...
At the end of February in the sixth year of Chengping.
Ying Yuan arrived at Hangu Pass.
Yu Jin came to greet him personally.
However, before coming, Ying Yuan made a very bold move.
The main purpose of the cavalry that followed him was to come to Hangu Pass first to assist in defending the city.
So, each person only rode one horse.
On the way, even if people don’t need to rest, horses do.
Ying Yuan felt that this was a waste of time.
So, he took only 30,000 men and 60,000 horses and rushed to Hangu Pass first.
Many of the remaining 70,000 cavalrymen had no horses and could only run slowly behind the soldiers who had horses.
Therefore, it only took Ying Yuan six or seven days to get here.
And he only brought 30,000 soldiers with him.
Lu Bu and his men could not persuade him, nor did they dare to, so they had to follow his wishes.
Thirty thousand people helped defend the city.
To be honest, this amount of troops is not enough to fill the enemy's teeth.
However, after all, it was the emperor himself, so even though Yu Jin was worried, he had to bury it deep in his heart for the time being.
This matter has not yet reached the ears of Huo Guang and others.
If this gets out, I'm afraid everyone will be shocked.
Then he rushed to Hangu Pass with all his might.
Even if the city gates were lost or many people died on the road, they had to ensure Ying Yuan's safety.
Because no matter what happens to the country or the people, nothing can happen to Ying Yuan.
As for Lu Bu, he also made plans.
If no reinforcements arrive within a few days and the city is on the verge of falling, he will knock Ying Yuan unconscious.
Then take him to a safe place.
Of course, the prerequisite is that he can really knock out Ying Yuan, who possesses the body of a Saint King.
After the meeting between the monarch and his ministers, Yu Jin briefly introduced the current situation at Hangu Pass.
"Your Majesty, the enemy's offensive has been very fierce in recent days, with batches of tens of thousands of people attacking the city. Just the day before yesterday, they attacked Hangu Pass day and night.
The casualties among the soldiers were very heavy. The original 50,000 defenders have now been reduced to less than 20,000."
As he spoke, he took Ying Yuan to his mansion.
Now, there are no civilians left in the entire city.
In fact, since the defeat of the State of Chu, Cai Jing has moved the people in and around Hangu Pass to other places.
Because he knew very well that this place would become a battlefield in the near future.
Failure to relocate the people will only result in more people being harmed.
Ying Yuan, who had arrived inside the pass, sensed something was wrong and frowned, "I wonder where General Yu intends to take me?"
Hearing this, Yu Jin bowed deeply and said, "Your Majesty, you are exhausted from the journey. You should rest for a while. After all, the dragon's health is the most important thing."
Ying Yuan said sternly, "How can this be! I didn't come here to enjoy myself!"
Yu Jin was suddenly a little panicked.
Jia Xu, who was standing behind Ying Yuan, said, "Your Majesty, you should go and rest for a while. Only after you have recuperated your strength can you better command the army to defend the city."
The former said angrily: "Take me to the top of the city."
As soon as the words fell, many soldiers fell silent and looked at each other.
At the moment, it is unknown when the Chu army will attack the city.
If we go to the city wall at this time, we might encounter unpredictable dangers.
Yu Jin said stubbornly, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid the Chu State has already known that you personally led the army to support Hangu Pass.
That is why the enemy has been attacking the city with all their might in recent days. If they knew that Your Majesty is already at the city gate.
I'm afraid the enemy will attack the city at all costs. Your safety will be affected, which will be detrimental to the country. Your Majesty, please reconsider!"
The next moment, all the Qin army officers and soldiers bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please reconsider!"
Seeing this, Ying Yuan became even more excited.
He wants to lead the army in person, what does he want?
There are only two points.
First, he led a large army to defeat the State of Chu.
Second, use the Chu army to kill himself.
Now, Yu Jin said that if he climbed to the top of the city wall at this time, his own safety would be affected.
That couldn’t be better!
Therefore, we must go to the top of the city!
Ying Yuan said bluntly: "Open your eyes and look at Hangu Pass. Look at how many soldiers are killed and wounded in this city.
Isn't their safety also a safety? They are guarding the country's borders for me and the Qin Dynasty.
Now that I have come here, how can I be afraid of life and death and abandon my soldiers?
If that's the case, then what's the point of me coming here?"
