The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 522 Take Fusu Away [Subscribe*Monthly Ticket Request]

The capital of Longxi County, Didao.

Li Xin stood at the city gate and looked quietly to the north.

They had already received news in advance that the Bingzhou Yulin Guards would soon pass through Longxi.

"What a fast pace!"

Li Xin sighed.

It took less than ten days from the time the Yulin Guards set out to the time they arrived in Longxi.

"Your Majesty!" Li Xin turned and looked at Ying Zheng beside him.

He also didn't expect that Ying Zheng would come in person and bring Fusu with him.

Soon, a blood-red wave appeared on the horizon, coming closer and closer. In less than a quarter of an hour, the sound of horse hooves reached their ears. The ground was shaking, causing the pebbles to bounce.

Soon, the face of the leading cavalryman appeared in their eyes.

"Whoa~" The galloping war horses came closer and closer, and when they were still thirty feet away from Didao city, they all pulled the reins in unison. There was no chaos in the entire cavalry formation, and all the knights were able to pull the reins in time to stop the horses.

"What a terrible riding skill!" Li Xin's face turned pale.

If one or two cavalrymen could have such riding skills, it would not be terrible.

The terrifying thing is that all the members of the Yulin Guard were able to suddenly stop while galloping.

The stopped Yulin Guards were also silent, sitting quietly on their horses, waiting for the arrival of their king.

"Does the Qin State have such cavalry?" Ying Zheng asked in a low voice.

Li Xin was silent.

Thanks to the trade with Bingzhou, Qin no longer had any shortage of war horses.

But what they lack is such well-trained soldiers.

Li Xin's silence also let Ying Zheng know the answer.

I can only look at the Yulin Guards in front of me with envy.

"As swift as feathers and as numerous as forests, I finally understand why Lord Bing called his personal guards the Yulin." Ying Zheng sighed.

Such an army is what all kings dream of.

It’s a pity that, apart from Bingzhou, no other prince could provide such elite cavalry.

Soon, the quiet Yulin army made way for a path, and a chariot came galloping from behind the cavalry and stopped steadily in front of Ying Zheng.

Yan Yan threw the reins to the pale-faced driver beside him and strode down from the chariot.

"I have met the King of Qin. I never thought that the King of Qin would come in person."

Yan Yan spoke first.

"I didn't expect Bing Jun to come so soon!"

Ying Zheng really didn't expect that the Bingzhou army would march so fast.

According to their estimation, the Bingzhou army would arrive in Longxi in 20 days.

"Hello, little Fusu!" Yan Yan smiled and waved to Fusu who was held by the maid.

Fusu stretched out his arms and asked Yan Yan to hug him.

The maid didn't dare to stop her and handed Fusu to Yan Yan.

Ying Zheng's mouth twitched when he saw this. Fusu was not close to him, but this guy, whom he had only met once, actually won Fusu's favor.

"Thank you King Qin for your help. I will definitely repay you in the future." Yan Yan hugged Fusu and had no intention of returning the favor.

"Your Excellency does not need to say more. All the Chinese people are united and will fight against the barbarians together." Ying Zheng responded with a smile.

"Rest here for a quarter of an hour." Yan Yan turned and gave orders to the Yulin Guards, then followed Ying Zheng alone into Didao County under the escort of Qin soldiers.

"I admire Bingzhou's courage!"

Ying Zheng really admired Yan Yan's decision. "If it's wrong, it's wrong. We must make amends."

Yan Yan sighed. If it weren’t for their mistake, this disaster wouldn’t have happened.

All we're doing is making up for it.

After arriving at the county governor's mansion and the host and guests were seated, Ying Zheng signaled Li Xin to hand over the intelligence that their Qin State had.

"This is the intelligence our Qin State has obtained."

Li Xin delivered the information to Yan Yan, and then began to explain why Wuwei fell.

"At the beginning, our Great Qin had already established counties in Jincheng and Wuwei, and set up Hexi Road, and sent a large army to garrison, but our focus of defense was in Jincheng, the territory of the Di people."

Yan Yan nodded. Qiang Wei was a Di people, so naturally they had to take control of Jincheng first and give priority to using the Di people.

"But no one expected that suddenly, a large Xiongnu army appeared from the west side of Helan Mountain and headed straight for Wuwei. As a result, we were completely unprepared and Wuwei fell."

Li Xin continued.

They had very little information about the area west of Jincheng, and had no idea that there was such a large Xiongnu tribe in the area where the Helan Mountains and the Qilian Mountains met.

By the time they got the intelligence, Bingzhou also got the intelligence and began to mobilize the army.

Therefore, they did not send troops to retake Wuwei.

"Yeah!" Yan Yan still nodded. This is how it is when opening up a new area. No one knows what is inside.

The focus of Qin's development was not in the west, so it is not surprising that it was neglected.

"What I want to know is, does King Xiutu know the direction where my Bingzhou army is marching?" Yan Yan asked.

His intention was not only to lead his army to the city of Wuwei, but also to catch King Xiutu off guard.

Even the Qin State could not have imagined that they would be so fast, let alone King Xiutu.

Li Xin shook his head. If Yan Yan had not concealed his whereabouts, they would not have known where the Bingzhou army was.

Even if Yan Yan showed up now, only a part of the Yulin Guards followed him, and even they couldn't find out where the real Yulin Guards army was.

"That's good!" Yan Yan nodded.

The real main force of the army is still behind, and the Yulin Guards are just the vanguard.

I'm afraid no one would have thought that he would send elite troops like the Yulin Guard as vanguards.

After exchanging pleasantries and handing over the customs documents, Yan Yan did not stay for long.

"Little Fusu, your uncle will take you to get back the gift for you!" Yan Yan teased Fusu with a smile.

Fusu looked at Ying Zheng with confusion.

Fusu was too young and didn't know what he was going to do.

Ying Zheng also frowned. Is it really a good idea to take Fusu with him on the army expedition?

"As the eldest son of the Qin State, you must be trained from a young age!" Yan Yan said with a smile.

Ying Zheng looked at Yan Yan, then at Fusu, and could tell that Fusu really wanted to go out and play.

"Go!" Ying Zheng finally nodded.

Yan Yan was right. As the eldest son of the Qin State, he could not be weak and his iron blood should be cultivated from childhood.

The most important thing is that as a Confucian disciple, Yan Yan naturally knows how to cultivate a talent.

If Fusu can receive Yan Yan's teachings, then in the future Fusu will naturally get the support of Bingzhou and his position will be unshakable.

Simply put, the southern and northern regions of the Qin Dynasty will all serve as Fusu's backing, so how could he lose?
Seeing that Ying Zheng agreed, Yan Yan was relieved. He really wanted to take Fusu away.

Otherwise, if Fusu was left in Qin and handed over to the villain Chunyu Yue for training, Fusu would only become a tool for Chunyu Yue to increase his reputation.

If Fusu's teacher had been more considerate of him, he would not have allowed Fusu to contradict Ying Zheng so many times, leading to his exile at the border and eventually the sudden demise of the Qin Dynasty.

Now that he has taken Fusu away, even if Ying Zheng dies suddenly in the future, with Bingzhou still in his possession, no one can shake his position or take away his throne.
