After running all the way until the sun was setting, Ying Jingyu and his troops finally arrived outside the Lantian camp.
The soldiers were exhausted, their mouths were dry, and they held their spears with both hands and gasped for air.
And Ying Jingyu didn't feel too good. Not only did he control the horse, but he also had to maintain the rhythm, for fear of losing his balance if he didn't do it well.
"finally reached."
After Ying Jingyu stabilized the horse, he held the horse's neck with both hands, and with a sudden force, he turned over and got off the horse.
Zheng Chan neatly swept her right leg and landed on the ground with both feet.
But when Ying Jingyu saw that nothing happened, he smiled and got off the horse. Who knew that as soon as he got off the horse, he was a little unsteady on his feet...
Zheng Chan hurriedly supported Jing Yu and said with a giggle: "Young master, you should take a rest in the middle next time. Otherwise, I am afraid that your body will not be able to endure the long journey."
Ying Jingyu looked up at that peerless face with a charming smile. It seemed that as he chatted and laughed all the way, Zheng Chan's cold heart in the past slowly opened up.
Thinking of this, Jingyu felt relaxed all over his body
"Haha, the young master is in great shape. If you don't believe me, I will carry you to the camp right now."
Zheng Chan shook his head and said: "Young Master, please stop joking. This is not Xianyang Palace. It is taboo for women to enter the military camp. Young Master should be more serious in front of others."
After hearing this, Jingyu glanced at the Qin army camp that was beyond sight, nodded and said: "Okay! Young Master doesn't listen to anyone, he only listens to Chanchan."
In a moment, the two large wooden gates of Lantian Camp slowly opened, and dozens of people walked out of the camp. When they saw Ying Jingyu outside the camp, everyone quickened their steps.
When Ying Jingyu saw the person coming, he narrowed his eyes. Who else could it be if he wasn't Li Xin?
At this time, Li Xin was seen wearing gold armor, a red cloak, and a rather exquisite long sword hanging on his waist. His heroic and tall demeanor, and his piercing black eyes were not at all the indifferent farmer he was when King Qin visited that day.

When the generals headed by Li Xin were still seven or eight meters away from Ying Jingyu, they took the lead and knelt down on one knee and raised their hands and said: "The last general, Li Xin, pays homage to the Taiwei!"
Dozens of generals behind Li Xin also knelt down and said respectfully: "The last general pays homage to the Taiwei!"
Ying Jingyu hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Xin up: "Generals, please get up quickly! General Li, you and I do not need to perform this etiquette in the palace from now on."
Li Xin stood up and held his hands in his hands again: "Master, there are differences between superiors and inferiors, so etiquette is indispensable."
Jing Yu shook his head helplessly: "General Li, there are many things in Xianyang, and Yu Ye has just helped his father to deal with the affairs in Guanzhong. You have worked hard these days, General."
After hearing this, Li Xin smiled lightly and said: "Sir, it is a great kindness for the king to use Li Xin again. Leading troops is Xin's strength. Fighting for the country is Xin's wish."
Jing Yu laughed: "General Li is indeed a famous general in the world. There are generals sitting in Guanzhong, why should we be afraid of him from the Six Kingdoms?"
Li Xing was startled: "I don't dare. In front of the Young Master, Li Xin can only share the Young Master's worries and solve his problems. Only with the Young Master around can the world of Qin be determined!"
"Hahahahaha...."
When Ying Jingyu heard Li Xin praising him in such a low-profile manner, he didn't know what to say for a moment. He looked at Li Xin and smiled at each other.
Jingyu turned around and said, "Tian Hu."
Tian Hu, the commander who was escorting the young master, hurriedly came forward and knelt down on one knee: "Tian Hu is here!"
"Tian Hu, I have arrived at Lantian safely and order you to lead these thousands of Qin soldiers back to Xianyang to garrison."
Tian Hu was puzzled: "Sir, General Zhang ordered us to guard you at all times and let us enter the military camp. This..."
Jing Yu walked to Tian Hu with his hands behind his back: "Resisting the Six Kingdoms is important, but Xianyang City is equally important. Now Xianyang's military strength is extremely empty. If there are thieves in Guanzhong who want to do something in Xianyang at this time, it will take a while for the army to return.
day time."
"When you go back, you can speak to General Zhang and ask him to recruit young new soldiers in Xianyang City. The focus is on the children of the merchants and nobles in Xianyang City. I have made peace with them. In this case, a group of Xianyang garrison troops can be quickly recruited.
scholar."
"Can you keep it in mind?"
Tian Hu was startled. It seemed that the young master had made up his mind and had no choice but to obey. He raised his hands and said firmly: "Don't worry, young master, the general will definitely be able to handle it! I swear to defend Xianyang City to the death!"
Ying Jingyu nodded with satisfaction: "Well, let's rest here with the soldiers for the night and return tomorrow."
"Here, sir!"
After getting up, Tian Hu summoned more than a thousand soldiers to set up tents outside the camp...
Li Xin and others looked at Gong Ziyu's decisive operation and couldn't help but admire him: "Young Master is careful and considers everything comprehensively. We can learn from it."
After hearing this, Jingyu stretched out his right hand and waved: "General, this captain did not come empty-handed. I believe the general will be happy when he sees it."
"Oh? What did you say?" Li Xin looked around and didn't notice what treasure Jing Yu brought.
Ying Jingyu raised the corners of his mouth and smiled confidently: "Gather the whole battalion of Qin soldiers, and I will personally demonstrate it to inspire the soldiers."
After hearing this, Li Xin did not dare to delay for a moment, turned around and said: "Left General Li Jitong listens to the order!"
Li Jitong took two steps forward and knelt down on one knee: "The end is here!"
"Blow the drum and send the order to summon all the soldiers to the drill square."
"Yes, General!"
After Li Ji, the general from the left, trotted down, Li Xin turned around and said with a smile: "Sir, please follow me into the camp."
Jingyu nodded and walked side by side with Li Xin into the Lantian camp gate, followed by more than a hundred guards brought behind him...
Jing Yu said: "General Li, what is the adjustable strength of the two battalions?"
After hearing this, Li Xin thought for a moment and said: "Master, we have been recruiting new soldiers into the camp in Guanzhong recently. Now we have more than 60,000 soldiers stationed in Lantian Camp."
"On the Ba River, there are more than 20,000 Qin troops stationed. The number of troops that can be mobilized is 80,000..."
Ying Jingyu sighed inwardly, feeling a little dissatisfied with this number, but he didn't show any signs of it.
"Then what is the combat strength of the Qin army now?"
After hearing this, Li Xin said with some confidence: "Don't worry, sir, the Qin army today is completely different from the Qin army when Zhao Gao was in power."
"When I first came to the camp a few days ago, the appearance of the soldiers was very different. After a little training by me, the Qin army's combat strength is now close to that of the First Emperor."
After hearing this, Jingyu nodded and expressed satisfaction: "That's very good. Is the general confident that he can lead the Qin army to repel Xiang Yu?"
Li Xin's body trembled because he had been thinking about this man's question day and night, but he hadn't found the answer yet.
Li Xin stroked his beard and said seriously: "If the current military strength is 80,000, even if the combat effectiveness is increased a little, Xin is only less than 30% sure that he can hold the two levels."
Jing Yu was startled and turned to look at Li Xin: "General Li, are you saying that the current military strength is not enough to resist Xiang Yu's army?"
Li Xin nodded: "Sir, Xiang Yu, together with all the princes in the world, estimates that the number of troops that can fight is no less than four to five million."
"But Xiang Yu was so brave that he killed hundreds of thousands of Qin troops in a trap and swept across the world with unstoppable power. And even if our Qin army has the same bloody courage and momentum, the disparity in strength is not enough to stop the armies of the six countries."
