Chapter 446: The Greatest Hero Serves the Country and the People
now.
There was chaos in the temple.
It looked like a million-strong alien army was about to attack.
All the court's troops, generals, etc. are still far away in Yan State.
As the saying goes, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst.
All the ministers were extremely anxious.
They stood in the court hall, talking among themselves, and it was quite noisy:
"If Xianyang is lost, we will all be sinners for eternity and will be blamed for it. Therefore, no matter what, we must defend Xianyang to the death!"
"That sounds good, but how can we defend? We only have 50,000 defenders, but we have to face a million-strong enemy army. How can we fight?"
"With Your Majesty away, the only solution now is for Her Majesty to leave Xianyang and leave a general behind to defend the city!"
"Letting Her Majesty leave Xianyang? How is that any different from abandoning the city and fleeing? It is precisely because Her Majesty is in Xianyang that the morale of the 50,000 soldiers of the Great Qin is not declining."
"This southern tour out of the city is truly difficult due to circumstances. Don't be stubborn. It won't be too late to deal with those foreigners after His Majesty arrives!"
“…”
After all, it seems like everything has returned to the starting point.
once Upon a time.
When the State of Chu invaded, the officials of the Qin Dynasty also had the same attitude.
Move south!
now.
It was only because Ying Yuan, the backbone, was not there that they brought up this method again.
Hearing everyone's comments, Daji thought to herself:
"If Your Majesty were here, no matter how difficult the situation, I'm sure these people wouldn't think of abandoning Xianyang, right?"
A woman will only remember the good things about the man beside her when she is facing a dangerous situation.
Just when everyone had been arguing for a long time and still couldn't come to a conclusion.
Yu Qian suddenly rushed into the hall and shouted:
"Foreign armies are not good at attacking cities. Our Xianyang City is tall and mighty. Even with only 50,000 defenders, we can still hold it."
"What's more, have you all forgotten that there are 300,000 naval forces of the Great Qin on the sea?"
"I have already sent the three guards to contact Xu Huang and will return to the capital to provide assistance shortly."
"We only need to hold out for a month. In that month, Xu Huang will return with 300,000 naval troops. By then, the foreigners will be in dire straits!"
Although the momentum is strong.
But the ministers in the hall were still a little worried.
There were a few people who couldn't help but say:
"It's easy to say, 50,000 people against a million, tell me, how should this battle be fought?"
"Yes, His Majesty and the best generals in the court are not here. There are no generals to send. Even if we have soldiers, what can we do?"
"If you ask me, it's not too late to leave Xianyang now. Otherwise, if the foreign tribes really attack us, it will be too late!"
“…”
Yu Qian glared at them fiercely and said in a deep voice:
"I will be responsible for defending the city! If the foreigners capture Xianyang within a month, I, Yu Qian, will die as an apology!"
Those officials still felt a little uneasy.
"I know you've been on the campaigns with His Majesty, but, ultimately, you were just responsible for raising horses. Do you know how to command troops?"
"Yu Qian, I know you love your country, and so do we. Our withdrawal from Xianyang is only a temporary compromise. We will have to fight back in the future."
"Yeah, why are you so stubborn?"
“…”
Heshen, Lai Junchen, Li Linfu and other ministers.
At this moment, he didn't say a word, but remained silent.
That's because they know it in their hearts.
Military affairs were not their forte.
At this time, giving advice and suggestions can easily lead to harming the country.
Moreover, every word they say will be recorded in history books in the future.
They won't give any advice unless it's absolutely necessary.
at this time.
Yu Qian's gaze fell on everyone and he said in a resounding voice:
"Have you ever considered that if Xianyang is lost, all the important cities in the north will be easily taken by the enemy? What will the people of the north do then?"
"Everyone, please pat your chests and think carefully. Are you worried about your own safety, or are you truly concerned for your country?"
"If Xianyang is lost, the Great Qin will lose half of its territory. At that time, it will be extremely difficult to fight back. After all, the other countries are all watching covetously!"
"It's said that a scholar will die for his friend. Many of you have committed the crime of colluding with spies from other countries. You should know clearly how His Majesty has treated you!"
"In a nutshell!"
Speaking of this.
His demeanor suddenly changed, and he sternly declared to the crowd, "Whoever is in charge of the migration south will be beheaded!"
"Anyone who abandons Xianyang will be executed!"
"Anyone who disrupts the morale of the army will be executed!"
"Xianyang must be defended to the death, even if it is impossible to hold it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the ministers were in an uproar.
Just when they were extremely shocked by Yu Qian's ruthlessness.
A young man's voice suddenly resounded throughout the hall:
"Master Yu is right. Whoever is in charge of the migration south can be executed!"
"Although this prince is young, he understands the principle of living and dying for the country."
Everyone looked up.
But in front of the palace gate, there stood Ying Chuan.
He is Ying Yuan's eldest son.
"Chuan'er?"
"come over."
Daji waved to him happily.
Yingchuan walked over.
In front of all the ministers, Daji touched his head and asked with a smile:
"Who taught you those words?"
Ying Chuan bowed respectfully and said, "My Queen Mother, no one has taught me this. These are my words from the heart."
Daji nodded in praise, "Well, good Chuan'er, you have some of your father's courage. You are right. Xianyang... cannot be handed over to foreigners like this."
