Chapter 407: Execution of Ji Ruxue
Before Li Jing set out on his expedition, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but ask:
"General, what do you think will be the final outcome of this battle?"
The former responded with a sigh, "I think it is still not a good time to attack Qin now."
"Winter is approaching. Even if the army reaches the border of Jin, I'm afraid it will be difficult to advance an inch."
"Besides, do you think that Emperor Qin is really defenseless?"
Li Shimin said that if he failed, he would die.
So what does this martyrdom actually mean?
Li Jing was unsure, but he knew he had to fight. However, as to how far he would fight, it depended on the timing.
No matter what, the fact that Yan State dispatched troops could not be hidden from the eyes of the Qin spies.
Therefore, those spies reported the matter to Ying Yuan, who was far away in the capital of Jin, and the civil and military officials in Xianyang City as quickly as possible.
After Ying Yuan learned about this, he became extremely excited and murmured, "What a great Li Er! I was right about you!"
He secretly vowed that if Yan State failed to attack Qin State, "either he would die or he would die."
In his eyes, the current situation in Jin is a mess.
If the State of Yan still does not dare to attack at this time, it can only mean that Li Shimin is too patient and too timid.
After a while, Ding Baiying came and told Yu Yingyuan about the recent events.
After hearing this, the latter couldn't help but frown and asked, "Zhang Sanfeng dared to go to the Bad People branch alone? How is the battle going?"
Hearing this, Ding Baiying shook his head and said, "By the time our people left, the Bad People branch had already become a ruin."
"The whereabouts of both Master Sanfeng and the Bad Commander Yuan Tiangang are unknown."
Upon hearing this news, Ying Yuan couldn't help but shook his head and said:
"These people want to assassinate me, so let them come."
"I wish this would happen."
Ding Baiying just thought that by doing so, perhaps he could take the opportunity to catch all the people in the Yan State in one fell swoop.
However, the risk is too great to let the emperor take the risk.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. Thanks to the sincere cooperation of the three of you, many Yan people in Jin have been punished."
"I believe it won't be long before they are completely kicked out of Jin."
After hearing Ding Baiying's voice, Ying Yuan was obviously a little depressed.
But then I thought again, the Yan army would be arriving soon, and other things seemed less important.
Then, Lu You, who was standing beside him, bowed and asked:
"Your Majesty, the Yan Kingdom's dispatch of troops is a serious matter. When will the imperial court send troops to resist?"
Deploy troops?
I have been waiting for so long for Yan State to reach this point.
We must not let them give up halfway!
Ying Yuan said decisively, "When did I ever say I would mobilize troops to resist the State of Yan?"
"If they really have the ability, let them attack!"
Lu You was slightly surprised and asked, "Your Majesty, do you mean to ignore the matter of Yan State sending troops?"
Ying Yuan nodded.
Lu You immediately said, "Your Majesty, that's a 500,000-man army from Yan State, no small matter!"
"If Your Majesty is unwilling to send troops to resist, relying on the armies of Generals Bai Qi, Xu, and Dian will be sufficient."
"However, this will inevitably add a bit of danger to the situation in Jintu."
"Therefore, I beg Your Majesty to temporarily leave Shangjing City and return to Xianyang."
Hearing this.
Ying Yuan then put on an unhappy look.
He was just hoping that Yan State would attack him, so how could he leave at this critical moment?
"You mean, let me hide from Yan State?"
Ying Yuan narrowed his eyes.
Lu You was terrified and knelt down, saying, "Your Majesty, I have absolutely no such intention. I am only concerned for your safety."
Ying Yuan said coldly: "I'm not going anywhere. I'm waiting here for the Yan army!"
"This..." Lu You, kneeling on the ground, really didn't know what to say.
At this time, Ding Baiying also advised: "Your Majesty, your safety concerns the entire Daqin..."
But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ying Yuan, "I have already said that we will wait for the Yan army here!"
"Lu You, I've heard that you have great literary talent and can compose poetry at will. It seems that you are not suited to serving as an official in the court. Instead, you are more suitable to be a hermit poet."
As soon as these words were spoken, Lu You broke out in a cold sweat. He kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty... is guilty of death!"
Ying Yuan waved his hand and said, "Everyone, go down. You don't need to worry about my safety."
Ding Baiying opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but when she saw the other party's serious expression, she swallowed it back.
In fact, he had something else to say, but was interrupted by Lu You who suddenly spoke just now.
However, that matter was a trivial matter for the emperor, so there was no need to talk about it separately.
The thing is, according to the laws of the Great Qin, several people from the Yan State will be executed on the street this afternoon.
They are the women from Huanyinfang.
In the busy streets of Shangjing City.
Lu Wenzhao, the pacification envoy of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, personally supervised the execution of Ji Ruxue and others.
Outside the execution platform, there were many people who came to watch the excitement.
When they saw that the people who were about to be executed were several women who had been tortured beyond recognition, they all started to discuss:
"What crime did these women commit? They are so young, it's a pity."
"It seems to be a spy from the State of Yan."
"Yan State? No wonder, they deserve to be killed!"
“…”
After Zhang Jiao and others sneaked into Jin territory and promoted Ying Yuan to the people.
The people have already determined from the bottom of their hearts that he is a wise ruler.
