Chapter 19 The Furious Qin Yu
"General, there are ten thousand garrison soldiers in the pass!"
On top of the Xiaoguan city wall, Xu Yuanzheng, dressed in military uniform, reported to the stern-faced Shi Wansui on the specific situation inside the pass.
He was the commander-in-chief of Xiaoguan, the supreme commander of Xiaoguan before Shi Wansui came.
"Is Hexi still peaceful recently?"
After Shi Wansui nodded slightly, he asked Xiaoguan about the direction of Hexi that was the focus of defense.
"General, most of the land west of Hexi has been occupied. If there were not internal divisions in the Three Kingdoms, we at Xiaoguan might also be in danger."
When Xu Yuan said this, a trace of happiness clearly flashed on his face. Although he was sitting in such a majestic pass as Xiaoguan, he still had lingering fears when facing the wolves and tigers of the Western Chu people.
"General Xu, which unit of the Western Chu people is closest to our Xiaoguan?"
Shi Wansui's expression remained unchanged and he asked Xu Yuan loudly.
In his eyes, the Xichu people who were feared by others were nothing more than a stepping stone for him to become famous all over the world.
"General, the Hussar Battalion led by Wang Ning, the Tiger of Western Chu, is currently stationed in Lingshou, an important town in Hexi."
Xu Yuan was slightly startled when he heard this, but he still told Shi Wansui truthfully.
"Hussars camp?!"
"What a loud tone!"
"Send me a guide tonight. I will let the Xichu people know what cavalry is!"
Shi Wansui's voice was cold, and his tough face was full of murderous intent. Tonight, he wanted to weigh himself to see how capable a Xichu man who dared to call himself a hussar was.
"General, you must not do this!"
"It's so difficult for us to rely on the pass to defend ourselves. If we take the initiative to attack, wouldn't we be seeking death?"
After Xu Yuan heard Shi Wansui's words, he quickly spoke out to persuade him.
The Qin Dynasty has been in decline in recent years. Even the most elite Northern Army has become like this, let alone the border army.
Therefore, these frontier generals maintained the same attitude towards the Western Chu people: if they could defend, they would defend; if they could not, they would run away.
This is still considered ethical. The group of Qin generals in Hexi are talented people. Not only did they not resist, they also surrendered and acted as the guide.
"My general has made up his mind!"
"Besides, this general will not use your frontier troops in this battle. Just defend the city!"
After Shi Wansui finished speaking, he strode away without giving Xu Yuan a chance to refute.
"well!"
"Another stupid young man."
After Xu Yuan watched Shi Wansui walk away, he couldn't help but cursed in a low voice.
As the commander-in-chief of Xiaoguan, although he is afraid of battle, he is generally qualified. At least he has a good grasp of intelligence.
Wang Chengnai was the Prince Consort of the Western Chu Dynasty. His martial arts prowess was unfathomable, and his battalion of eight thousand hussars was unrivaled in the East.
When he first invaded Hexi, Wang Cheng relied on these 8,000 hussars to march down half of Hexi, so he was called the Tiger of Western Chu by the generals of the Qin Dynasty.
It means that this person fights like a tiger and is very invincible.

"Messenger of Dali?"
In the Great Qin Long Live Hall, Qin Yuzheng looked at Li Ru with a puzzled expression.
Just now Li Ru informed him that a mission sent by Dali had arrived in Longcheng.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Li Ru, who had a face like a crown jewel, replied softly.
Since Qi Cheng escaped, Qin Yu had basically handed over all official affairs of the Qin Dynasty to Li Ru.
From national decisions to personnel appointments and removals, Li Ru basically made all decisions.
"What's their purpose?"
After receiving a positive reply from Li Ru, Qin Yu couldn't help but frown slightly.
At this time, Qin Yu did not believe that Dali sent an envoy here to promote harmony between the two countries.
"They want Changning Mansion!"
When Li Ru said this, his face couldn't help but darken.
"What a bitch, you dare to stretch your paws at me!"
"Tell their envoy that Changning Mansion can give it to him, but they will have to exchange the corpses of more than 100,000 of their Dali people!"
Qin Yu couldn't help but laugh angrily when he heard this. Changning Mansion is located at the junction of Daqin and Dali. The Dali Dynasty has long been eyeing the place. Now that they see the broken ship of Daqin, it will sink soon.
They couldn't help it anymore and were ready to hit him with two axes.
“Your Majesty, please allow me to leave for Changning!
"As long as the general is not dead, the people of Dali will not be able to touch a single plant or tree in Changning!"
Hua Xiong, whose face was sallow, spoke in a hoarse voice.
There are about a hundred civil and military personnel in the Long Live Hall. The civil officials are naturally headed by Li Ru, and the military officers are naturally headed by Hua Xiong.
"Wenyou, what do you think?"
Qin Yu did not reply to Hua Xiong's words, but turned his attention to Li Ru.
"You can demonstrate appropriately, but you can't go into full-scale war with Dali!"
Li Ru replied softly and at the same time he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Your Majesty is still too young and cannot bear the slightest humiliation.
When Qin Yu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, heard this, his eyes flashed with light.
Although it is impossible to start a full-scale war, it is still possible to fight a small-scale war to let the people of Dali know that they are not to be trifled with.
"Hua Xiong comes forward and obeys the order!"
After making up his mind, Qin Yu turned his attention to Hua Xiong.
"The end is here!"
Hua Xiong strode forward and obeyed the order!
"Tomorrow you take your troops and horses and march to Changning!"
"If the Dali people dare to cross the border, they will be attacked head-on!"
Qin Yu's voice was cold, and his eyes were as bright as cold stars, filled with murderous intent.
For a king, there is nothing more embarrassing than ceding territory.
"General, take your orders!"
After Hua Xiong accepted the order in a deep voice, Qin Yu signaled him to retreat, and at the same time glanced at Li Ru again.
"Wen You, I will leave it to you where the envoy from Dali is."
Qin Yu has always believed in one thing: the confidence at the negotiation table comes from the advantages gained on the battlefield.
He sent the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, the strongest force in the Qin Dynasty, to march to Changning in order to give Li Ru an advantage when negotiating with the envoys from Dali.
"A humble minister will never let down his Majesty!"
Li Ru's face was calm and his voice did not fluctuate much.
