Chapter 111: Not Here

Chapter 111: Not Here
After hearing Yan Dan's words, the depressed look on King Yan's face disappeared, and he was replaced by endless joy.

As soon as Yan Dan finished his endless stream of words, King Xi of Yan slapped the table in front of him to express his agreement with Yan Dan's strategy.

"Dan'er, let's do it! I'm waiting for your victory report in Jicheng!"

On the contrary, Yan Chunjun, who had always been at odds with Yan Dan, changed his expression on his chubby white face several times after hearing Yan Dan's well-reasoned words, and the fire of jealousy burned in his eyes.

"Your son, take your leave." Yan Dan bowed to King Xi of Yan neither humbly nor arrogantly and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute!" At this time, Yan Chunjun spoke again.

"Brother, do you have anything else to say?" King Yan glared at his younger brother with dissatisfaction and said impatiently.

"Your Majesty," Yan Chunjun saluted to King Xi of Yan on the throne, and then said, "The Crown Prince's strategy is very good, and I have no complaints. However, this battle is related to the fate of the country. The Crown Prince is indeed brave, but I think that a general with rich combat experience should be sent to assist him to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

As he said this, Yan Chunjun winked at General Yan Yi, who was standing in the ranks, fully armored and looking majestic but in fact a weak general.

"Your Majesty," receiving Yan Chunjun's gaze, Yan Yi stepped out and confidently challenged King Xi of Yan to fight, "I would like to go to the battle with the Crown Prince. We must wipe out the Qin army and enhance our country's prestige!"

"Then, Dan'er and General Yan Yi will be jointly responsible for this battle."

After hearing Yan Dan's strategy, King Xi of Yan sincerely believed that the Qin army was not a big threat. At the same time, the king's suspicion arose, fearing that Yan Dan would defeat the Qin army and he would be forced to give up his throne when the army returned. Yan Chunjun's suggestion to sabotage Yan Dan's army was exactly what King Xi wanted and he approved of it.

[Father, you know that Yan Yi is frivolous and arrogant, and he does all kinds of evil. Although he is a great general, he does not have the support of the army. If he joins, we will definitely lose! ]

Seeing this, Yan Dan felt infinite sorrow in his heart, as if he had seen the scene of 200,000 soldiers being slaughtered by the Qin army. However, he knew his father, King Xi of Yan, better than anyone else. If he really opposed Yan Yi's going with him, King Xi of Yan might even deprive him of his right to command the army, so he could only accept it silently.

………………

"wind!"

"Gale!"

"Qin Feng!"

……

Xianyang, the generals’ platform.

One hundred thousand Qin soldiers were lined up under the reviewing stand, forming huge square formations. Endless murderous aura was stirring, causing the already chilly temperature in early spring to drop. There was not even a cloud in the sky facing the parade ground, as if the endless white clouds were disturbed by the murderous aura and disappeared completely.

The bugle call of the Qin army was roared out by thousands of soldiers and horses, and it actually brought about a gust of wind that made the drooping flags flutter in the wind. The word "Qin" written in small seal script was reflected. In the eyes of Tianxuan, a newcomer who was strictly speaking going to the battlefield for the first time, this word seemed as heavy as Mount Tai.

"Present the tiger talisman!" On the stage, Zheng Ge, wearing a black royal robe and full of heroic spirit, stood out with Zhao Gao, the commander of the Central Chariot Office, and several of his confidants. The strong wind brought by the Qin army's bugle disappeared the moment it reached the Qin monarch, as if the invisible and intangible wind was also afraid of the Qin monarch.

A group of generals, led by Wang Jian, all dressed in armor, stood like sculptures in a corner of the reviewing platform. Suddenly, Zhao Gao shouted loudly in his iconic duck voice. Along with the shouting, an eunuch with his head downcast came forward with a tray in his hand, on which was placed a tiger-shaped military token.

"Old General, thank you for your help." Zheng Ge carefully picked up the military token from the tray and handed it to Wang Jian.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will return victoriously." Wang Jian raised his hands, took the tiger talisman from Zheng Ge's hand, and promised Zheng Ge solemnly. Immediately, the first general of the Qin Dynasty leaned forward, leaned close to Zheng Ge's ear, and whispered, "Your Majesty, don't forget what you promised me."

"Don't worry, old general." Hearing Wang Jian's words, Zheng Ge's handsome face, which was inherited from his mother Zhao Ji, showed helplessness from the bottom of his heart, and he replied.

【Wang Jian corrupted himself by being greedy for money. Unfortunately, I am too young and I am powerless at the moment. Otherwise, why not label myself as a lustful person! 】

Wang Jian and Zheng Ge deliberately lowered their voices when they spoke these two sentences. However, Tian Xuan, as a sixth-level military officer, was already a mid-level general, and was only a dozen feet away from the general selection platform. Tian Xuan's full attention was on the general selection platform, capturing the conversation between Zheng Ge and Wang Jian.

A sentence that Wang Jian heard accidentally in the Lantian camp a few days ago came to mind. At that time, Wang Jian seemed to say casually: "The family expenses are not enough, and we need to buy more land. If it is gold and silver, it would be even better!"

In connection with the records in the mottled history books in his previous life, Tianxuan could not help thinking that Wang Jian must have taken this opportunity to consolidate his image of being greedy for money in Zhengge's mind. As his thoughts turned, Tianxuan had such an idea.

"set off!"

The conversation between Zhengge and Wang Jian was incoherent. Although many people heard it, only Zhengge's confidants, such as Zhao Gao and Gai Nie, besides Tianxuan, knew what the two meant. Wang Jian, who took the military order from Zhengge, slowly turned around and faced the 100,000 troops surrounding the generals' platform.

In an instant, the greed and materialism that Wang Jian had shown in front of Zheng Ge disappeared without a trace from this veteran general with outstanding achievements. Instead, endless determination emerged from Wang Jian. Although he was an old man with white hair and beard and wrinkles all over his face, no one dared to deny that the 100,000-strong army standing under the generals' platform had an unparalleled strength deposited in Wang Jian's seemingly aging body.

In today's world, apart from Li Mu, who was appointed as the governor of Yanmen County and guarding Yanmen Pass, no one can match him in battle.

Suddenly, Wang Jian waved his hand fiercely and gave the order to the 100,000 troops below the stage to march.

boom!
Following Wang Jian's order, the Qin army soldiers, like a bow with a fully drawn bowstring, immediately moved. Amid the roar of thunder and lightning, the 100,000 tiger and wolf divisions, in accordance with different arms, left the reviewing platform in an orderly manner and marched out in a mighty force. If someone looked down at the earth from the sky, the Qin army soldiers in black armor were like a huge wave surging on the earth.

"War, here I come!"

Although Tianxuan had been on the battlefield in Zhao State before, he knew very well that what he encountered in Zhao State was just a small fight at best, far from a real war! Riding the mount he named Huoyun, blending in with the mighty army, Tianxuan, who had lived two lives, had no fear of killing in his heart, only excitement and excitement.

As he spoke, Tianxuan looked into the distance. At the end of his sight, there was a cemetery where his grandfather, Lao Cangtou, who adopted him, and his family were buried.

"Grandpa, I have taken this path as you wished. If you are still alive, please watch carefully!"
