Thinking of this, he called Guo Jia over, and the two stood outside Xi Zhicai's tent.
He spoke his mind.
Guo Jia sighed, "But Brother Zhicai may not be willing to go to Xianyang."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xi Zhicai, who was frail, slowly walked out of the tent with the help of the military doctor and bowed to Cao Gong, saying, "I will go."
Hearing this, Cao Cao was incredulous and said, "Zhicai is really willing to go?"
Xi Zhicai responded, "The Chu army has been defeated, and the current war situation is stable. Cao Gong has Feng Xiao and Xun Yu to help him, which is enough.
I will go to Xianyang to recuperate and await your triumphant return."
Cao Cao laughed heartily and said, "That's very good. I will write down the latest battle report and have Zhicai deliver it to Your Majesty on my behalf, so that Your Majesty can also be happy."
Xi Zhicai smiled and nodded.
He understood why Cao Cao did this.
The other party wanted to take advantage of the emperor's good mood to ask for a piece of deer grass for himself.
However, Xi Zhicai didn't care about it.
What he cared about was being able to see Ying Yuan.
This is his only wish in this life.
If I could meet the monarch who, in my heart, could make the Qin Dynasty rich and strong, even if I died, I would die without regrets.
Cao Cao returned to his tent and wrote two memorials.
A letter describing the latest battle situation was given to Xi Zhicai.
The other letter briefly expounded on Xi Zhicai's achievements and sent someone to rush to Xianyang to present it to the emperor, hoping that the emperor would be the first to bestow the deer-living grass.
From this perspective, it should be foolproof.
Then.
Wait until Xi Zhicai is ready.
A team of 100 men left Hangu Pass and headed for Xianyang City.
The four kings have also returned with their armies.
They did not choose to pursue Xiang Chao's tens of thousands of stragglers.
Because if we go one step further, we will reach the territory of Chu State.
By then, the army had penetrated too deep, and the food and fodder they carried were scarce, so they were afraid of something happening.
They followed the order given by Cao Cao and adopted the strategy of defending Hangu Pass.
Wait for the Chu army to arrive.
Now, as long as they can defend Hangu Pass.
Even if it's just for one or two years.
As long as they can hold on, this war, in which Qin has put all its efforts, will not be lost.
......
at the same time.
Ying Yuan met Ji Gang, who came from Zhu Di's camp, in the Xuan Zheng Hall.
He had high hopes for this man.
In previous history, this person once forged an imperial edict to take millions of pounds of salt from the salt fields, seized the official ships for transportation, and pocketed all the salt.
He framed hundreds of wealthy businessmen and seized their assets for himself. He also castrated hundreds of young children from decent families and made them serve him.
All these crimes are enough to make him die hundreds of times.
But why does he still do this?
It's because of greed.
Greedy and treacherous.
Isn't this the kind of talent that you need?
"I transferred you from Prince Yan's camp because I hope you can assist me and accomplish great things. Please don't let me down!"
Ying Yuan spoke earnestly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Gang knelt on the ground, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will go through fire and water for you without hesitation!"
Hearing this, Ying Yuan sneered repeatedly.
I know you are a traitor, so there is no need to say any polite words.
Telling it to others will only make me think you are hypocritical.
But then again, I like your hypocrisy.
actually...
Ji Gang was really not pretentious, and what he said came completely from the heart.
After all, several years ago, he was demoted to Xianyang City by the previous emperor.
In desperation, he came to serve under King Yan.
However, if he served under the King of Yan until his death, he would at most be a minor general.
It would be difficult for him to return to Xianyang and become an official in the capital in his lifetime.
Not to mention making a name for yourself.
My fellow villager, Lai Junchen, is now the Minister of Justice.
Even Prince of Yan, Zhu Di, would greet him with a smile when he saw him.
In comparison, I am nothing.
I dream every day, fantasizing that one day I can return to Xianyang.
But is it possible?
It's impossible!
But now there is a chance!
Your Majesty suddenly transferred himself from the command of Prince Yan and came to Xianyang to serve as the deputy commander of the soon-to-be-established Jinyiwei.
Isn’t this just soaring into the sky?
From now on, I will only serve Your Majesty.
With this opportunity, can a bright future still be far away?
Who gave all this to me?
It’s His Majesty the Emperor!
In other words, it was His Majesty the Emperor who gave me a second life!
In that case, how could I do anything to let down Your Majesty?
Definitely not!
Not only that, I must also swear allegiance to Your Majesty until death to repay Your Majesty's kindness.
Only in this way can I live up to the second life that Your Majesty has given me!
