Chapter 202: After the reunion, each is different
"Although the Qin State has raised us, it can only allow us to work for the Qin State, but it cannot allow us to watch our motherland perish and do nothing!"
Well!
At the end of the conversation, Madam Mi's slender, white neck, like a white swan, rolled up and down, and a streak of black blood oozed from her lips. After years of companionship, when Zheng Ge came to visit today, Madam Mi had already guessed what Zheng Ge was up to, and took the poison that had been prepared long ago. The poison would take effect and Madam Mi would die.
"I have been betrayed countless times in my life." Zheng Ge watched Madam Mi's poison taking effect, and a hint of pity flashed across his eyes that were as sharp as a sword. "Your betrayal was not for yourself, so I can't hate you!"
"Really?" Madam Mi said sadly, "Then, that's enough!"
Bang!
Under the attack of the deadly poison, Madam Mi's fairy-like body could no longer hold on and she fell heavily to the ground. The blood spurting from her sweet lips fell on the scarlet carpet, emitting a strong fishy smell.
"On the mountain... on the mountain there is Fusu, on the swamp there is Hehua. I don't see Zidu, but I see... I see Kuangqie. On the mountain there is Qiaosong, on the swamp there is Youlong. I don't see Zichong, but I see Jiaotong... Tong."
At the last moment of her life, Lady Mi murmured her favorite poem, "There is Fusu in the Mountain", which comes from the Book of Songs and is the tenth poem in the "Guofeng·Zhengfeng". It is a poem describing the teasing and scolding of a woman to a man when a man and a woman are dating. It is full of teasing and joking, and the laughter and scolding contain deep love, fresh and lively. Because the whole poem comes from the mouth of a young girl, it does not lose its innocence and kindness. The "crazy" and "cunning boy" in the poem are not real irony, but a kind of joking playfulness.
In the past, Lady Mi and Zheng Ge became friends because of this poem "There is Fusu in the Mountain". When their son was born, they simply named him Fusu. After the recitation, Lady Mi's beautiful head drooped and she took her last breath.
"I have ordered that she be buried near the king's mausoleum."
Witnessing Madam Mi committing suicide by taking poison, Zheng Ge's eyes narrowed slightly, a flash of grief in them passed away, and he gave orders.
"Here."
have to! have to! have to!
Suddenly, there were hurried footsteps outside the hall, causing Zheng Ge to look over with an unfriendly look.
"Kings."
The person who suddenly rushed into the hall and ruined Zhengge's mood was none other than the Commander of the Imperial Chariots: Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao, who had served Zhengge for decades, did not want to ruin his mood, but the matter was of great importance, so he could only bravely rush in. Facing those fiery eyes, Zhao Gao was so frightened that his knees softened and he knelt on the ground.
"Front-line battle report: Yingchuan County Governor Tian Xuanzi has led his army to recapture Nanjun and opened up the food supply route for the front-line army." Zhao Gao, who was prostrating himself, hurriedly reported. While speaking, he did not forget to raise the Hongling battle report in his hand!
"Very good!" Zheng Ge was very happy to know that Tianxuan had opened up the food supply route. His grief over Madam Mi's death was completely gone and he took the battle report.
"Damn it!" Zheng Ge read the battle report quickly and anger appeared on his face, "Xiong Qi and his gang actually escaped!"
………………
In the land of Chu, the camp of the Qin Army.
Tianxuan led 10,000 Black Dragon Cavalry specially prepared for Changping Jun, and suppressed the rebellion at the critical point where Changping Jun launched the rebellion, ensuring the food supply for the 600,000-strong army, and made unquestionable contributions. Wang Jian on the front line was no less impressive, as he had been prepared in advance. When Xiang Yan estimated the information provided by Changping Jun and attacked the Qin army at the critical point where they were out of food, he faced a tiger and wolf army that had been prepared for a long time, with a number of up to 600,000.
The two sides fought with a total of millions of troops. The Qin army was in high spirits and took advantage of its well-rested state to defeat the Chu army.
have to! have to! have to!
When Tian Xuan led 5,000 Black Dragon Cavalrymen, accompanied by Yan Fei, Yue Shen, Da Siming, Shao Siming, Zi Nu, Nanyue and other women, and escorted by Yu Mo Ya and others, to the front line to meet Wang Jian, what appeared in front of him was a large camp with traces of the battlefield. Looking over in the afterglow of the setting sun, murderous intent remained on the faces of the Qin soldiers. "Who is coming?"
The dense sound of horse hooves stopped in front of the camp. The soldiers around the camp gate saw a cavalry approaching. After the battle, many soldiers and horses returned to the camp. General Meng Tian heard the news and came, riding a warhorse that was as red as blood, and shouted.
"General Meng Tian, long time no see." Tianxuan in the team looked at the heroic and agile Meng Tian in the camp gate, smiled slightly, rode Huoyun forward and greeted him.
"General Tian, you are finally here!" Meng Tian naturally knew Tian Xuan. Although the grain route had not been restored and the next batch of grain and grass would take five or six days to arrive, Tian Xuan's appearance was tantamount to telling Meng Tian that the grain route had been restored and Changping Jun's rebellion had been thwarted. Immediately, Meng Tian's expression eased and he laughed.
As he spoke, Meng Tian noticed the charming women around Tianxuan. Even though he knew that he was not allowed to touch these women, envy still appeared in his eyes.
"General Tian, the marshal has already ordered that when you arrive, he will take you to see him." A flash of envy flashed across Meng Tian's eyes, and Meng Tian ordered the soldiers to open the camp gate and come to Tianxuan.
"General Meng, please take me to see the marshal."
…………
The Chu army camp.
"We lost! We lost!"
"Why? There is still food in Wang Jian's army?"
"After all, it's all about some smart-aleck idiot!"
……
Unlike the high morale of the Qin army camp, after suffering a defeat, the various contradictions in the Chu army that was barely put together broke out completely. Even though Xiang Yan was extremely talented, only a few hundred thousand defeated soldiers were left, which was more than half of the 400,000 troops before the war.
When the brothers Changping Jun and Changwen Jun arrived at the Chu army camp under the escort of nearly a hundred guards, they saw a camp full of mourning and low morale. The Chu army soldiers were either covered in dust or blood. Upon hearing the news of Changping Jun's arrival, the Chu army did not hold a ceremony to welcome the hero, but cast a pair of suspicious eyes and made sarcastic remarks full of suspicion.
Bang!
Three days ago, when Changping Jun led his army back to Chu, he was able to remain calm when facing Tianxuan's ambush, even when the murderous intent was closest to him, only one foot away from him. However, the current situation of the Chu army after the defeat and the sarcastic remarks echoing in his ears became a real fatal blow, which brought great harm to Changping Jun. His thin body trembled suddenly, and the blood on his face faded away, and he became as pale as paper.
"Big brother."
Although Changwen Jun also felt guilty and felt that he had harmed the State of Chu, he was not as heavy-hearted as Changping Jun. Seeing that his elder brother was about to fall, he hurriedly supported him.
"Your Excellencies, please come in."
After receiving the news that Lord Changping and Lord Changwen had arrived, Xiang Yan personally led the generals to welcome them. Undoubtedly, these two former princes were extremely unfamiliar to the generals of Chu, but they all knew that the defeat in this battle was not caused by war, and although their attitude towards Lord Changping and Lord Changwen was somewhat distant, they were more polite and respectful.
