Chapter 102: Oak Yang

On the East Chi Road of Xianyang, 50,000 central guards armed with halberds marched toward Yueyang, the country of Seoul. Fallen leaves piled up and horses' hooves rustled on them.

Although there were guards blocking the way, they all gave way when they saw Sima Xin.

To the left of Ziying, the thin Sima Xin is riding a horse with his head lowered and his face as pale as earth. To get to Lantian Pass, he had to take the southeast road. In addition, Ziying brought 50,000 horses, and Sima Xin knew that he was losing more than just Lantian Pass.

Selling his country for glory, provoking his Majesty, all these are the reasons for Ziying to kill him.

"Your Majesty, please spare me." Sima Xin said in a tearful tone.

Ziying joked, "What's wrong with me? Aiqing promised me to seize Lantian Pass, but now I'm going back on my word."

"This is not the way to Lantian Pass at all." Sima Xin looked sad.

"If you need to sign a contract to cede land, you have to go to Yueyang." Ziying said with a smile.

"What is your Majesty doing with so many people?" Sima Xin was anxious, "Your Majesty, let me go, and I will hand over all the country of Sai to you!"

On the left side of Sima Xin, Lu Matong, who was wearing armor, straightened his body and said, "This is what you said, Your Majesty. I will cut his finger now and let him sign the contract."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ziying pretended to blame, "I led the troops because I heard that someone was doing harm to the country of Sai. The king of Sai did not have enough new troops, so I should help."

"This is the king's personal expedition. Sima Changshi is really honored." Li Xin, who was on Ziying's right, stroked his beard and smiled.

Sima Xinsheng was helpless and followed Ziying's army to the foot of Yueyang City in a daze.

"Your Majesty, can I survive if I surrender to Kaicheng now?"

"Aiqing, you can give it a try. I might agree," Ziying said.

Sima Xin drove his horse forward, and Li Xin slowly stretched his hand toward the arrow behind his back. Sima Xin would definitely die if he tried to escape.

"Yang Wu! Hurry and open the city gate to welcome King Qin into Yueyang!" Sima Xin shouted towards the top of the city.

Seeing Ziying's menacing approach, the guard at the top of the city ran out of ideas, "Your Majesty, Commander Yang Wu has sent troops to the north but has not returned. Please wait outside the city."

Sima Xin was so angry that even a small Yueyang guard dared to disobey his order.

"Where is Yang Wu? What can he do if he goes north?!" Sima Xin said angrily.

"Back to your Majesty, the army of the Western Wei Dynasty invaded the border, and Commander Yang Wu led his army to resist." The guard replied loudly.

Ziying turned to look at Li Xin and saw the surprise in his eyes.

Both of them thought that the Western Wei Dynasty just wanted to take back the Wei land, but now it seems that the Western Wei Dynasty is going to do something big this time.

Sima Xin yelled to no avail and returned to Ziying dejectedly, "Your Majesty, my subordinates don't obey orders. There is really nothing we can do."

Ziying sneered, "They are all Qin people. Ai Qing has done many bad things. They would rather listen to the advice of the lieutenant, the cavalry general, than the king of Sai."

"The king is blaming you." Sima Xin lowered his head and said.

Sima Xin was suddenly startled, "How does the king know that Yang Wu is my lieutenant and general?"

Ziying secretly laughed, Yang Wu was the one who later dismembered Xiang Yu with Lu Matong and five others, so of course he remembered this name.

Sima Xin rebelled against Qin and surrendered to Chu. He was defeated by Liu Bang and rebelled against Chu and returned to Han. Xiang Yu defeated Liu Bang. Sima Xin rebelled against Han and returned to Chu. Finally, he was defeated by Liu Bang in Surabaya and committed suicide. He was so capricious that Liu Bang was so angry that he took him from the grave.

Dig it out and behead it.

Yang Wu, who was under Sima Xin, had been following Liu Bang. He had merit in dismembering Xiang Yu and was granted the title of Marquis of Wu Fang.

"Sima Changshi doesn't need to know clearly." Li Xin said coldly.

"Yes, yes..." Sima Xin nodded, "But what should I do now that I can't enter the city? Yang Wu doesn't know when he will be able to return."

Ziying asked, "Did the guard just tell me who the leader of the Western Wei Kingdom is?"

"It was the Prime Minister of Western Wei who personally led the troops," Sima Xin replied.

"Xiangguo of the Western Wei Dynasty? Peng Yue?!" Ziying said with a smile, "No need to wait, Yang Wu can't come back alive."

Yang Wu just followed the generals who led the expeditions east and west, and he didn't have much ability.

However, Peng Yue, Han Xin and Ying Bu were also known as the Three Heroes of Chu and Han. When Peng Yue only had a few hundred people in Juye Ze, any old acquaintance who was late would be beheaded. When the two armies met, Peng Yue would be unstoppable.

"Commander Li sent 40,000 troops to guard the key points of Chidao, leaving 10,000 troops for me," Ziying ordered.

"The king wants to attack Yueyang?" Li Xin asked.

"There is no need to attack, these ten thousand are for defense." Ziying said with a smile, "Commander Li, please go quickly, Peng Yue is not easy to deal with."

"King, take care!"

Li Xin had also heard of Peng Yue's name. The enemy did not dare to delay and led his army back to the west.

"The king really wants Sima Xin to sign the contract." Lu Matong said seriously.

"There is no need to sign a contract. This is also Qin. Most of the guards are dissatisfied with Sima Xin. It is too late for them to take the initiative to welcome me when I come in person." Ziying analyzed.

Lu Matong looked unbelieving, "The guards just now didn't even let me go."

"It's okay just now, but he will be killed by people in the city later if he dares not to let go." Ziying said firmly.

When Liu Bang entered the customs, he was bought with money, but this time he used the Qin people's love for Qin. For people in the Qin Dynasty, friendship was often more important.

"Watch it."

Ziying drove his horse forward to the foot of Yueyang City, "Prince Qin Ying is here, open the city gate quickly!"

"No one can come in without Commander Yang Wu's order!"

"You, Commander Yang Wu, can't come back. If you don't want Yueyang to be lost, open the door quickly!" Ziying shouted.

Lu Matong followed up and said, "If you don't open it, I will kill you, the King of Sai!"

"I won't open it even if I kill King Sai!"

"Your Majesty, I think it's better to go ahead and make plans." Lu Matong said.

"There's something wrong with this guard's brain." Ziying cursed secretly, and now he could only rely on his momentum to overwhelm them.

Ziying rode his horse back to the army to give instructions. Ten thousand troops came forward and said in unison:

"The king is here, open the city quickly!"

"The king is here, open the city quickly!"

The sound shook the heavens and the earth, and all the guards in Yueyang City looked towards the city.

"Open the city gate quickly!" other guards urged.

"Okay, I'll open it." The guard also panicked and stretched out his hand to turn the door switch.

Whoosh——

Dust was flying on the east side of Liyang, and an arrow flew from it, hitting the guard in the head.
