Hexi front line, Yuanli City.

Standing in the room, silently staring at the map in front of him, the Qin Army's commander-in-chief, Zhang Yu, was constantly thinking about the news he had just received.

Duping and Shaoliang were separated by dozens of miles, and Pang Juan's army captured them in a short time.

The fighting power of the Wei army cannot be said to be weak, and its offensive force cannot be said to be weak.

With the help of the map in front of him to analyze the situation between the enemy and ourselves, after the Wei army captured Duping with lightning speed, Duping, which was so close at hand, naturally became its next target.

At this moment, Zhang Yu, as the commander-in-chief of the Qin Army, even felt a trace of fear in his heart.

Pang Juan's army not far from the Qin army was like a wild beast. At this moment, it was opening its bloody mouth, as if it wanted to swallow the army under its command in an instant.

But while this fear could not dissipate, another premonition suddenly appeared in Zhang Yu's mind.

Although there was no news to prove it, Zhang Yu had a vague feeling that Wei Jun's intention was by no means as simple as it appeared at this moment.

Perhaps a huge net is rushing towards him and his soldiers.

Time passed by minute by second, and after a long time, Zhang Yu withdrew his eyes from the map in front of him, and looked solemnly at Shu Changguo and Ying Qian.

"What's the situation in the military right now?"

"this……"

Hearing these words from the general Zhang Yu, a look of hesitation appeared on the faces of Shu Changguo and Ying Qian.

After looking at each other for a moment, Shu Changguo gave a slight salute to Zhang Yu and said, "General, our army suffered a major defeat outside Shaoliang City not long ago, and the morale of the soldiers is very low."

"In addition, during the war, the soldiers looked at their comrades helplessly..."

After speaking, the expression on Shu Changguo's face became more and more ugly, and his voice became softer and quieter.

Although Shu Changguo did not finish what he said next, after Zhang Yu heard what he said before, he also understood that the state of his soldiers at this moment could be said to be very bad.

Not only was he forcefully defeated by the Wei army from the front, but he also witnessed his fellow soldiers being abandoned. This kind of thing had a huge impact on the morale of the soldiers.

"well……"

A sigh full of self-blame resounded in the room. Zhang Yu looked at Shu Changguo with an ugly face and said: "It was my order as the commander-in-chief to abandon those soldiers who were besieged by the Wei army. This mistake..."

"General, this is not your fault." He interrupted Zhang Yu's words, and heard Shu Changguo say excitedly: "The situation on the battlefield at that time, if the general had not decisively ordered the retreat, our army would have been very

It is possible that the whole army will be annihilated."

"Yes, General, I also think it's not the General's fault." Ying Qian stood up and expressed his stance at this moment.

After these words fell, the room fell into a deep silence. No one knew what they should say at this moment.

No one knows where the Qin army should go next?

It was not until a long time passed that Ying Qian's excited shout finally broke the deep depression in the room.

"General, our army may still have a glimmer of hope."

Facing the eyes of Zhang Yu and Shu Changguo, Ying Qian walked to the map with an excited expression on his face.

I saw Ying Qian's right index finger quickly landing on the southwest corner of Hexi, and then I heard him say in a deep voice: "General, before leading his army north to Shaoliang, the last general left some troops in Luoyin City.

An army of twenty thousand men."

"If our army can withdraw to Chongquan immediately, we can form a rivalry with Luoyi. With an army of 60,000 in hand and Luoshui as a support, our army may not be able to stop Pang Juan's army from advancing westward."

"General, our army has not lost yet, our army still has the strength to fight!"

The excited voice of Ying Qian in his ears gradually died down, and Zhang Xiang's eyes slowly moved first to the Luoyin City, and then to Chongquan City in the northwest of Luoyin.

The excitement generated by that glimmer of hope only lasted for a moment, and the next moment the bad premonition emerged in Zhang Yu's heart again.

With this feeling in mind, Zhang Yu's eyes moved eastward again, finally landing on Linjin and Pubanjin in the east of Linjin.

It was only then that a painful realization appeared in Zhang Yu's eyes.

I am afraid that the Wei army has already anticipated the Qin army's next move, and perhaps Luoyin and even Chongquan may fall into the hands of this opponent at this moment.

He quickly walked to the front of the map, looking at the cities in his field of vision, and Zhang Yu's murmur appeared in the room.

"I'm afraid our army wants to retreat now, but it's not that easy!"

…

"Da da da……"

Accompanied by a dull sound of horseshoes trampling on the ground, a galloping war horse appeared outside the capital of Qin State, Yueyang.

Soon after, some hurried footsteps sounded in the palace of Qin State, and a Qin Army messenger ran quickly towards a main hall in front of him holding a roll of bamboo slips.

"Report..."

"Your Majesty, urgent report from the Hexi front line!"

After hearing the report from the Qin army's messenger below, Qin Gong Ying Shixi, who was handling government affairs, immediately put down his ink pen and slowly walked towards this person from the throne.

Taking the scroll of bamboo slips from the hands of the Qin army messenger, Ying Shixi's eyes gently looked at his current state.

Seeing the dusty look on the face of the Qin army's messenger, and looking at the panting state of the Qin army's messenger, Ying Shixi felt a bit of pity in his heart.

"Thank you for your hard work, go down and rest first."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After a few breaths, when the figure of the Qin Army messenger slowly disappeared into the hall, Ying Shixi slowly unfolded the urgent report from the Hexi front line in his hand.

But before his eyes stayed on the bamboo slip for long, something was obviously wrong with the expression on Ying Shixi's face.

By the time he endured reading the seal characters on it one by one, the expression on Ying Shixi's face had become particularly ugly.

With great difficulty, he rolled up the bamboo slips again and walked step by step towards the throne in front of him. As soon as he sat down firmly, a blood arrow shot out from Ying Shixi's mouth.

The next moment, Ying Shixi felt that his vision went dark, and the whole world seemed to be spinning.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Seeing Ying Shixi's situation, the eunuch standing aside quickly stepped forward, and anxious words appeared in the hall.

"Someone is coming, someone is coming, call the medical officer quickly, call the medical officer quickly!"

Listening to the loud roar ringing in his ears, Ying Shixi used up his last breath and whispered softly: "Go and invite the doctor into the palace, just say that I am..."

Before he finished speaking, Ying Shixi completely lost consciousness.
