Chapter 75 The Princess and the Knight

The people's support determines the outcome of the battle.

Reviving the Qin Dynasty.

Build another Qin army that swept across the country, which was like a storm. This is the hope of every veteran who retired from Qin. The elders in Guanzhong have experienced many like Xin Sheng. After the so-called court in Xianyang disappointed them again and again, Li Yuanru suddenly shining meteor appeared instantly.

Regarding the decline of Qin, the responsibility of the second generation of Qin Hu Hai was far greater than that of Prime Minister Zhao Gao. As the saying goes, planning his position but not doing anything in his position is the biggest dereliction of duty. What Hu Hai is even more unbearable is that if you don’t do things, the person who chooses to do things on your behalf is still an extremely selfish and ambitious villain.

The arrival of Xin Sheng and the elders calmed down Li Yuan's ever-uneasy state of mind. Guanzhong was a strange place for Li Yuan. Similarly, the old Qin people were also a group of strangers who could not be perceived. Now, he finally began to touch the bloodline of the Qin people in Guanzhong.

When Qin State fell, the fierceness of the Qin people was almost wiped out. The old Qin people were desperate. Their request was just a safe and stable living environment.

Those who kill people will die, those who hurt others will be punished, and those who steal will be punished. These were the three clauses agreed by Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang and the elders of Guanzhong. It was very simple, but it suddenly subdued the uneasy mood of the Qin people in Guanzhong who were worried about the impending demise of the Qin State. This also laid a solid foundation for Liu Bang to win the support of the Qin people in the later battle for hegemony between Chu and Han.

Compared with the cruel Zhao Gao and the cruel Xiang Yu, although Liu Bang regarded Guanzhong as the granary of the Han army, he finally gave the Qin people a chance to survive.

History does not repeat itself, but it is different because of the appearance of Li Yuan.

When the Qin people needed heroes the most, Li Yuan stood up. Even though his ancestral home was not Qin, even if his identity was humble and not obvious, even if his qualifications did not have outstanding achievements.

None of this matters.

For the Qin people, the most important thing is: hope.

When Li Yuan tried to turn the tide as a lonely army, when Li Yuan's army swept across Guanzhong counties like a broken bamboo, Xin Sheng's heart was already dying and giving up.

He wanted to meet Li Yuan for a while and see what kind of magic this young man had, so bold that he dared to bring a few thousand people to attack the capital Xianyang.

Xin Sheng is like this, and the other elders also have the same idea.

——.

February 19th.

On a warm and cold day in spring, the weather in Guanzhong is still a bit cold. The strong northwest wind from the grassland occasionally breaks through the layers of gullies on the loess high slopes and hits the plains in the Weishui and Jingshui.

Liyi.

At the Wei River Ferry, Xin Sheng and others' ships were loaded with rewarded cattle and sheep and slowly docked. At the ferry on the shore, the eldest princess of the Qin Dynasty, the leader of the Western Expedition Army, Li Yuan, the chief of the General Chen Ping, Sima Hou Xi and others had been waiting for a long time.

"Mr. Xin, I haven't seen each other for many years, how are you in good health?"

Ying Yushu, dressed in a gorgeous costume, was hugged by a group of soldiers with a bright smile on his face, and changed his previous gentle and weak appearance. Sometimes, his situation is really strange. When you fall into a vicious circle, you will find that you are in a desperate situation and have no way around; but when you jump out of that circle and look back, you suddenly find that you are in a cocoon.

No longer worry about Li Si's life and death, no longer think about the rise and fall of Li's family. What Ying Yushu has to do now is to be herself and be a true princess of the Great Qin Kingdom.

"Old minister, please see Your Highness, Princess!" Xin Sheng's hair was white and a blush appeared on his old cheeks. Xin Sheng was very excited that Ying Yushu still remembered him as an old man.

That time, it was when the First Emperor was having a banquet for all the ministers and generals. There were many talents in the hall. Wei Liao, Meng Yi, Meng Tian, ​​Wang Jian, Wang Ben, Li Si, Li Xin, Feng Quji, Feng Jie, Ren Xiao and other heroes were all there. Xin Sheng was among them, just an inconspicuous pebble.

Ying Yushu was just a young lady at that time. He was still a young lady who was just fifteen years old. In addition to being excited, the First Emperor summoned Fusu, Gao, Hu Hai, Yushu and other princesses to meet with his ministers.

Now, just seven years have passed, Qin has become a sea of ​​mulberry fields and declining, and a group of prominent celebrities have all left, and the princes have also returned to the underworld. Even though Xin Sheng was sad, he could only do nothing.

"Mr. Xin is an elder. Please move into the camp and give him a seat!" Ying Yushu nodded and said.

"Princess, please!"

"All elders and elders, please move!"

"General Li, please--!"

After a lot of noise, the strong men in the army soon killed the rewards brought by their elders, cooked them, and then delivered several jars of fine wine. A generous banquet unique to the army began.

After Ying Yushu raised a cup to greet him at the beginning, he returned to the back camp with the maid. The banquet below was handed over to Lieutenant General Li Yuanjun and Chen Ping and others. For the elders such as Xin Sheng, who were once soldiers in the army, such a military banquet had not been involved for countless years, which made the veterans feel like they were back when they were young.

"Hey, my luck in Qin was all caused by Zhao Gao, the official thief. He pointed to a deer as a horse in the court. The ministers who told the truth were imprisoned one after another. The rest were all flattering people. How can the Qin Dynasty have a peaceful life?" Xin Sheng was drunk and shouted in anger.

"Mr. Xin said very much. Although we are old, our ambitions are still there. Today, we will drink the same thing. In the next day, when General Li stepped on the Maba Bridge, he took Zhao Gao's head, and we will drink it again." The elders were drunk, crying sadly, or scolding. For a moment, the banquet was full of shouts of men from Guanzhong shouting.

"My Lords, I, Li Yuan, are here today. I have made a great vow to not kill Zhao Gao and not to withdraw my troops!" In excitement, Li Yuan threw the cup to the ground and said loudly.

This was a banquet where Li Yuanjun merged with the elders of Guanzhong. After Xin Sheng and other elders returned to their hometown, the names of Ying Yushu and Li Yuan were also spread by more and more Qin people.

Hu Hai, his reputation is already bad.

This naughty boy had no inheritance of even a trace of the ability of the First Emperor. All he had was the indifference and cruelty he had when he killed his brothers and sisters.

How could a person who can hold up a butcher's knife for his relatives expect him to care for the people? The Qin people who once had fantasies about this young emperor were completely disappointed with His Majesty the Second Emperor after only more than a year.

On the contrary, as the only surviving bloodline of the First Emperor, Ying Yushu has always been very low-key. She has almost no ostentatious actions, and there are no negative rumors whether she married into the Li family or after getting married. This makes her image very acceptable to the Qin people. Especially this time, she led the army to attack the traitorous prime minister Zhao Gao as the eldest daughter of the First Emperor and Li You's widow, which made the curious Qin people even more excited.

As for Li Yuan, the general of the Western Expedition Army who led the troops, the young general of the guard princess, the brave and brave Qin captain, and the heroic officials who assisted the revival, this is not the example of the dreams of many young Qin states?
