Late March of the sixth year of Chengping.
Dong Zhuo, Zhao Kuangyin, Huo Guang and others have arrived at Hangu Pass.
Now, there are more than 300,000 troops inside the city.
The 500,000 troops originally responsible for attacking Japan, now gathered in Xianyang, are already on the way.
Among them, 250,000 troops, led by Bai Qi and Zhao Kuo, arrived in Youyun.
In addition, nearly 300,000 troops were led by Huo Qubing, and they were only about a month's journey away from Hangu Pass.
This time, except for Zhu Di, the other three kings of the four expeditionary generals were transferred to the border by Ying Yuan.
In the eyes of the people and other countries, this is a symbol of Qin's national strength.
In the city lord's palace.
The soldiers were standing in front of Ying Yuan.
Huo Guang reported to him, "Your Majesty, according to the news from the Imperial Guard, the State of Chu has begun to send reinforcements to Wu Qi.
Conservatively speaking, the total number of troops under Wu Qi's command is likely to exceed one million."
This news suddenly cheered up Ying Yuan, who had been depressed for a long time. He quickly confirmed, "Is this true?"
"true."
Huo Guang nodded solemnly and said, "It seems that the Chu State is determined to start a war with our Qin State."
Dong Zhuo snorted coldly, "This battle has been a war between nations from the very beginning! The Chu State only dared to send reinforcements because they saw that the Jin State was also getting involved."
Huo Guang continued, "Your Majesty, Emperor Mi Xiong of Chu, acting on the advice of Prime Minister Huang Xie, has already dispatched Li Yuan to the State of Jin.
As early as several days ago, Prime Minister Cai had sent someone to inform Li Yuan that he must tell our country the attitude of Jin State in detail.
I guess Li Yuan has already met the Emperor of Jin."
Jia Xu said, "Before, Chu and Jin had no ties, but now, because of our Qin, they are suddenly tied together."
An Lushan said, "Who cares if they are from Jin or Chu? If they dare to come, we will drive them out!"
He has always had a bad temper.
But there is subtlety within the roughness.
Otherwise, in Ying Yuan's previous life, he would not have called Li Longji his godfather for several years.
"Alright, I'm well aware of your concerns, but no matter what, we can't interfere in the affairs of either Chu or Jin.
Whether they form an alliance or become enemies, it has nothing to do with our Great Qin. But the only thing that has something to do with us is that if they come, we will fight them, and that's all.
Even if it means the fall of our Great Qin and the change of rulers, we must fight this battle."
Ying Yuan waved his hand and continued, "The army has just arrived at Hangu Pass and needs to rest properly. If you have nothing else to do in the next few days, please don't bother me."
Um...
He needed time to think about what to do in the coming days to avoid the destruction of the country.
After hearing this, all the generals and soldiers retreated one after another.
To be honest, these few days at Hangu Pass were the most frustrating days Ying Yuan had ever experienced since he traveled through time.
He doesn't like drinking and there is no woman like Daji around him.
Although there are many maids serving in the City Lord's Mansion, most of them are just ordinary women.
He looks down on it.
I feel extremely bored every day.
In the afternoon, he suddenly had the idea of going out of town to hunt.
Of course, the soldiers would definitely not be willing to go out from the east gate.
After all, the Chu army camp was not far from the east gate.
Unless Ying Yuan kills them all, there is no chance of getting out through the east gate.
Therefore, we can only leave the city from the west gate.
And Ximendu is the territory of the Qin Dynasty.
There won't be any danger.
It's really a bit depressing to continue staying in the city, so it would be nice to go out and relax.
When the soldiers learned that the emperor wanted to go hunting, they rushed to follow him.
In the end, he decided to send only Huo Guang, Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo and a few others out of the city with him.
To be honest, for those soldiers, being able to accompany the emperor on hunting trips for fun was something they would love to have.
A moment later.
Huo Guang had everything ready.
Ying Yuan put on his armor and ordered his men to bring the dragon horse.
When he mounted his warhorse and was about to leave the city, the horse breeder who had brought the dragon horse suddenly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I beg to follow you.
After your majesty's hunting trip, your dragon horse needs to recuperate. I will take care of your majesty's dragon horse."
Hearing this, Ying Yuan looked at the horse breeder and asked curiously:
“Ordinary people would kneel down on their knees when they saw me, not even daring to raise their heads.
You are an interesting horse breeder. Aren't you afraid of me?"
This is not an empty statement.
Because the previous horse breeders who were responsible for taking care of his dragon horses did not even dare to fart after seeing the emperor.
The horse breeder in front of him, whether it was the temperament he exuded or the look in his eyes when he looked at him, made people feel unusual.
Um...
This horse breeder actually dared to look up at me.
It's really interesting.
"Go if you want."
After saying this, Ying Yuan galloped away on his horse.
The horse breeder hurriedly ran after him.
After leaving the city, Ying Yuan did not go to catch wild beasts, but slowly came to a hill. Looking at the spectacular scenery such as the endless forest and grassland in front of him, he suddenly felt a sense of heroism.
Huo Guang followed closely behind him and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, our Great Qin's land is truly magnificent."
Lü Bu echoed, "How can we allow bandits to trample upon such a land?"
Dong Zhuo said, "As long as Your Majesty is here, we will be able to defend this land."
