Wild King City.

The Wild King City is actually not big.

In fact, it is more appropriate to call it a fortress than to call it a city.

Since the Qin army captured this place, most of the Korean military and civilians in the city have been driven away, and about 10,000 people have been detained to be responsible for the hard labor of the Qin army.

Under the hard work of these coolies, the Yewang City completed the transformation from a city to a fortress.

As soon as the sky was bright, the gate of Yewang City opened. Thousands of Korean coolies walked out of Yewang City under the orders of Qin soldiers and began to dig pits.

It was cold and it was not easy to dig a hole. However, the Qin soldiers who were temporarily acting as supervisors would not pay much attention to it. They would only walk around and observe the progress, and then ruthlessly whip the guys who dug slowly.

It has to be said that the military discipline of the Qin army is indeed very strict. Even the soldiers who are supervisors are meticulous and conscientious, and have no intention of being lazy. Moreover, every time the whip comes down, they will definitely twitch their right back first and then their left back, which is very regular.

Of course, this may also be related to their chief Sima Geng staring at the Yewang City hundreds of meters away.

Sima Geng, who is 45 years old this year, looks a bit similar to his younger brother Sima Jin in terms of appearance. He is also a typical old Qin man with tall and rough lines, but the beard under the jaw and a somewhat vicissitudes of face make Sima Geng feel a bit more mature than Sima Jin.

Sima Geng was standing at the top of Yewang City at this moment, staring at the earth to the east.

According to the Qin army's front, the 100,000 army led by Wei Wuji, the Xinling Jun of Wei State, should be able to arrive outside the Yewang City in the next two days.

In other words, Sima Geng finally waited for the stage of his performance.

Sima Geng was also a little depressed. You should know that before Bai Qi arrived, Sima Geng was the number one deputy general of the Qin army, and his cooperation with the main general Wang Yi was quite good. He also joined forces to break through the two lines of defense of General Lian Po of Zhao State, Lian Po, and Guanglang City, forcing Lian Po to retreat to the areas of Han Wangshan and Daliangshan.

At that time, Wang He and Sima Geng were really energetic and passionate in their hearts. They just felt that General Lian Po was just like this.

However, what happened next made Wang and Sima Geng truly understand why Lian Po could become the general of the second most powerful country in the world.

The experienced Lian Po led the Zhao army to use the two solid and three-dimensional lines of defense to teach the Qin army led by Wang and Sima Geng a lesson, so that even if the Qin army suffered heavy casualties, it would not be able to break through the Zhao army's defense line.

So after a long stalemate, Wu'an Jun became white.

As soon as Bai Qi arrived, there was no matter what Wang He or Sima Geng had to do with the military power.

It was okay for Wang He. After all, Bai Qi was coming secretly at that time. On the surface, he needed Wang He to deceive the people of Zhao. Therefore, although Wang He was demoted to the deputy general, he finally stayed on the front line of Changping.

Sima Geng is different. Sima Geng is just a deputy general, and he is also a deputy general who is very close to Wang Yan. He has long been marked as the "Fan Sui faction", so naturally it is impossible for Bai Qi to be favored.

So Sima Geng, the deputy general of the Qin army, was driven out of the Changping front and sent to Yewang City.

In name, it seems that it is not a bad thing to come to Yewang City. After all, Yewang City is indeed the rear and retreat of the Qin army on the front line, and the strategic significance is absolutely undeniable.

But for Sima Geng at that time, this was definitely a errand that could not be more bad.

Why? Because there is no war!

The Qin State's military merit system clearly states how many people can be promoted to the title, and then how many people can be beheaded and how many people can be promoted to the title again.

However, in the military merit system, there has never been a saying that you can be promoted without fighting!

At that time, there was no war in the Yewang City.

Who should I fight? The Koreans who were scared by the Qin army or the Wei people who had been hesitant and refused to join the war?

When we learned from some channels in Xianyang that Wei was likely to become an ally of Qin to start a war against Zhao, Sima Geng even lost his heart to join the war and almost found a place to fish.

However, what I never expected was that Sima Geng's opportunity came.

A few days ago, when Sima Geng learned that Wei Wuji led his army south and then turned to the west, he knew that Wei Wuji was coming to Yewang City.

For Sima Geng, this is simply - great!

It was really sleepy and a pillow, and a bachelor met a woman. He was worried that there would be no war, so the enemy came to his door.

Sima Geng was so excited.

Sima Geng didn't take Wei Wuji's reputation too seriously.

After all, we must know that over the years, the Great Qin Xiong Army has long fought against many so-called "famous generals" and "generals" under the orders of King Ji of Qin.

For Sima Geng, the more famous Wei Wuji is, the better.

In this case, when Sima Geng defeated Wei Wuji, the more fame and merit Sima Geng would gain.

To be honest, Sima Geng was even impatient to fight Wei Wuji.

Just as Sima Geng's thoughts gradually flew away and began to imagine how to defeat Wei Wuji, a Sima Geng's personal guard suddenly appeared in front of him.

"General, letter from Xianyang!"

Sima Geng turned around and looked at the guard, and asked casually: "Is it the palace or the mansion?"

In the palace, of course, it refers to King Ji of Qin.

But the mansion refers not to Sima Geng’s mansion, but Yinghou’s mansion, which is Fan Sui’s mansion.

The personal guard replied, "There are both." As he said that, he took out two secret letters from his arms and handed them to Sima Geng, and then he retreated consciously.

Sima Geng looked at the two letters in her hand, thought about it, and then chose to open the one with the palace logo.

The letter was written by King Ji of Qin.

Sima Geng learned from this letter that King Ji of Qin would conscript all Henei County to support Shangdang, and would pass by the Ye Wang, and told Sima Geng to keep the Ye Wang.

The content of this letter was not beyond Sima Geng's expectations.

And the second letter is more interesting.

This second letter should have been written by Fan Sui.

The content in the letter is also very simple, which is to let Sima Geng not hesitate if he finds an opportunity, and strive to defeat Wei Wuji's troops as soon as possible.

Sima Geng carefully read the second letter, and then couldn't help but mutter.

"Ying Hou... seems a little anxious. Why is that?"

Sima Geng suddenly called his personal guard.

"Where is the commander of the Jin Mi Office?"

The personal guard replied, "It's twenty miles south of the city."

Sima Geng pondered for a while and gave an order.

"I ordered Jin Mou's troops to approach Yewang City, and then said that the enemy was coming."

"promise!"

Seeing the figure of the personal guard disappearing from the city wall, Sima Geng's heart slowly felt a little excited.
Chapter completed!
