I’m The King Chapter 1513: : Han Banner World 203 Decisive Battle 17

Gou Yi staggered, rolled and crawled all the way into the Black Ice Terrace, pushed open the heavy door, and a cold aura rushed towards him. Although the sun was shining outside, the inside of the hall was extremely gloomy and dark , Lu Chao stayed alone in the main hall without even opening the windows.

Once upon a time, when Lu Chao first took over the Black Ice Terrace, his favorite thing to do was to stand on the high terrace of the Black Ice Terrace, overlooking the entire Xianyang, that feeling of stepping on the world under his feet , which made him feel very comfortable. But now, it's a torture.

"What's the bad news?" In the darkness, came Lu Chao's cold voice, as if from the Nine Nether Hells.

Gou Yi tried his best to adapt his eyes to the darkness in the hall as soon as possible, and finally saw clearly that Lu Chao was wearing the emperor's fine attire, sitting upright behind the big table that had just been arranged in the Heibingtai hall.

The Black Ice Terrace used to be empty, simple yet majestic, but now, it is beautifully decorated with brilliant golden walls, making it look extremely graceful and luxurious. But at this moment, Lu Chao was alone in the hall, but he was dressed up and sitting upright, which seemed extremely strange.

Gou Yi gasped, the emperor seemed more and more abnormal recently.

"Your Majesty, the new army led by Bai Qi was surrounded by the Han army in Baiyu. The news just came that tens of thousands of troops fought hard in Baiyu for days, but failed to break through the enemy's defense and join General Xu Yahua. The army was defeated, and the whereabouts of General Bai Qi are unknown."

After the case was silent, Gou Yi raised his head anxiously and looked at the emperor. The expression on Lu Chao's face was very strange. Under Gou Yi's surprised eyes, bursts of wild laughter suddenly broke out: "And No more, fifty thousand troops, no more!"

Gou Yi's body felt cold. The decisive battle in Xianyang that the emperor counted on. What to rely on is Bai Qi's 50,000 new troops and Xu Yahua's 80,000 troops withdrawn from Hangu Pass. Only these mobs gathered in Xianyang with them as the backbone. He had the power to fight just now, but now Bai Qi is gone. Can Xu Yahua come back?

The people of Han fully understood Lu Chao's strategic conception from the very beginning. On the only way for the army to return, the two elite troops were first intercepted on the way. If it is in normal times, this is naturally unlikely, but now. The state of Qin has completely lost its airs. Wherever the Han army passed by, officials from all over the country surrendered. Not only did the Han army not be hindered in the slightest, but they were able to obtain various supplies from the Qin State on the spot. Those Qin State officials who surrendered , all of them do their best to provide services for the Han army, for fear that if they are not thoughtful, the Han army will find an excuse to clean them up.

The loss of people's hearts has reached the point where it cannot be added. I still don't think Lu Chao will win.

"Where's Xu Yahua? I have high hopes for him. How could he just sit back and do nothing to save Bai Qi?" Lu Chao's cold voice came from above.

"Your Majesty, General Xu sent an army to meet General Bai. But it also failed. Now General Xu is also in a desperate situation. The Han army that wiped out Bai Qi's new army is attacking General Xu from two directions. In front of General Xu, the cavalry of the Han people also cut off the way back, General Xu just sent a distress letter, hoping that His Majesty can send reinforcements to take him back to Xianyang."

Reinforcements? Think of the word. Even Gouyi knew it was impossible, now the whole of Xianyang. The real army is only more than 30,000 people, which is the emperor's last capital. And the remaining hundreds of thousands of people are just young and strong who have just picked up weapons. If they go to rescue Xu Yahua, half of them will run away halfway.

Sure enough, there was no sound from above. I don't know how long it took before there were a few extremely low sighs. Gou Yi tried his best to open his ears wide, and heard Lu Chao say in an almost sleepy tone: "Fate, let him go, come back if he can, and come back if he can't, it's the same on both sides .”

Gou Yi silently kowtowed, stood up, and slowly backed out. Hearing these words, he knew that His Majesty the Emperor himself was in despair.

The collapse of Great Qin is only a matter of time.

Back to the headquarters of the Eagle Department, it is still a busy scene. As Lu Chao's core and most trusted secret force, the Eagle Department has gathered the last subordinates who are loyal to Lu Chao.

Even though everyone thinks that Daqin will face the fate of destruction, the people here still stubbornly believe that they have no chance of turning the tables. Look at the current defense of Xianyang. Almost everyone in Xianyang was mobilized to build fortifications, no matter it was forced or voluntary, they all contributed to the defense of Xianyang. Looking for common people to ask for demolishing houses, moving furniture, taking whatever they need, Xianyang city is in a mess now, many houses have been demolished, stone materials and beams have been removed to build fortifications, iron and bronze wares in almost everyone’s homes They were all taken away, not even a single needle was spared. These things were melted into molten iron, and then turned into low-quality cannons. In order to collect enough materials for making gunpowder, the latrines of every household in Xianyang City were carefully scraped.

And these are all completed by the Eagle Department.

They are confident that the defense circle of Xianyang, consisting of thousands of artillery pieces, will be impenetrable and unbreakable.

As their supreme leader, Gou Yi is naturally impassioned and full of confidence in front of them, but deep down, he knows that there is nothing to fight in this battle. He is not like those low-level loyal subordinates who are confused and confused. He has his own judgment and analysis ability, and he is also a good leader.

With a heavy heart, I pushed open the deepest part of the yamen, a door in front of the long alleyway. On both sides of the deep alleyway, inside rows of wooden fences, prisoners with withered faces and bruises were locked up.

Seeing Gou Yi's appearance, the two sides of the alleyway suddenly became lively, people begging for mercy, shouting, crying and crying for injustice, but Gouyi turned a deaf ear and walked straight to the deepest part of the alleyway.

Some of these people are reformists who opposed Lu Chao, that is, officials from the Wu Qi faction of the former chief assistant, and some of them tried to collude with the Han people to save themselves a way out. Now, they have all become members of this place.

There is an iron gate in the deepest part, and there are two eagle soldiers sitting at the gate. Seeing Gou Yi walk in, both of them stood up and bowed to salute.

"Open the door!" Gou Yi waved his hand.

The heavy iron door was opened from the inside. In the room, only an oil lamp was lit. A man was lying on his side on the straw in the corner. Hearing the creaking sound of the iron door opening, the man turned around, He narrowed his eyes and looked at Gou Yi.

Gou Yi walked in, and the iron door closed heavily behind him. Gou Yi walked to a small table in the room, looked at the big empty bowl on the table, "You have a good appetite, and you finished eating."

The man got up from the ground and said with a chuckle, "Although it's worse than pig food, it's better than starving to death, right? It doesn't feel good to have a stomachache."

Gou Yi sat down and looked at the other party: "Master Tang, your heart is really very generous."

The man walked to the small table and sat down. The light reflected his face. It turned out to be Tang He from the National Security Bureau of the Han Dynasty. He worked for the Military Judicial Department at that time. Over the years, his achievements have steadily increased. He has long been a member of the National Security Bureau. After the founding of the Han Dynasty, he suddenly disappeared without a trace. Unexpectedly, he came to Xianyang .

"Of course I am relieved, because I know that we will surely win." Tang He said with a smile: "I see you today, General Gou, and I am more confident. Has our army already reached the city of Xianyang? ?”

Gou Yi was silent for a moment, "Although we haven't reached the city of Xianyang yet, it will be soon. Just a few days ago, your army just surrounded and wiped out Bai Qi's 50,000 new troops. Bai Qi's entire army was killed. The whereabouts are unknown."

"Then only Xu Yahua is left, but I'm afraid he won't come back either?" Tang He laughed.

"What's so funny about you, don't you think that the faster the Han army comes, the sooner you will die?" Gou Yi said coldly.

Tang He laughed disapprovingly, and spread his hands together: "General Gou, although you became a monk halfway into our line of work, you can be regarded as a colleague after all, do you think we value life and death very much?" ?It seems that you are here today to end me. Why didn’t you bring good food and wine? For the last meal, it should be richer. You won’t be so poor that you don’t even have this little thing? Forget it, actually I also want to thank you, I was caught by you and locked up here, although I can’t see the sun, and the day and night are upside down, but you didn’t torture me, let me suffer some flesh and blood, I also want to thank you, I’m different from you, You were born as a general, with rough flesh and thick skin, but I am a white-faced scholar with fine skin and tender flesh, without being beaten."

Facing Tang He's teasing, Gou Yi remained silent for a while, and just sat in silence.

"Didn't you come to kill me?" Tang He looked at him in surprise~IndoMTL.com~ You don't mean to see that Lu Chao's power is gone and you are about to surrender to us big man, right? "

He asked this question in a joking way, because Tang He knew very well that Gou Yi was Lu Chao's most loyal subordinate, and it was absolutely impossible for him to surrender to the big man.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Gou Yi's face changed, "I will never surrender to you."

"Then why did you come to see me today? Isn't it just to see me?"

Gou Yi took a deep breath and looked at Tang He: "I came here today to let you go. Of course, I also have one thing to ask you."

Tang He was stunned for a moment.

"I belong to the Gou family. I was originally a family of generals. It has been passed down to this generation. There are five brothers who are benevolent, righteous, respectful, wise and trustworthy. Today, I am the only one left. The five of us, for the sake of Daqin, can be regarded as doing our best. , only the elder brother left a child, I let you go, you take him away, so that he can spend the rest of his life in peace, how about it?"

Tang He looked at Gou Yi with a trace of pity in his eyes. (To be continued.)
