As the beacon fire at Wushi Fortress in the north gradually subsided, a fast horse rushed into Yongdu, the capital of Qin.

Ever since General Pang Juan of the State of Wei led an army of 150,000 troops to the front line of Jingshui, the whole state of Qin was immediately in an extremely tense atmosphere.

The war between Qin and Wei has existed for decades since Wei Wenhou Wei Si founded the country.

In the past few decades, the balance of power between Qin and Wei has always been that Wei is strong and Qin is weak. The Wei army's military fronts have even reached the hinterland of Qin.

Relying on Qin Xiangong's twenty years of recuperation, the Qin State finally recovered some of its national strength, but a battle in Hexi caused the Qin State to suffer heavy losses.

Facing the danger of succeeding to the throne, Qin Gong Ying Quliang did not have much choice. In order to enrich and strengthen the country, he could only imitate his enemy Wei and implement reforms.

It's a pity that although the reforms in the past few years have been very effective, and Qin's national and military strength has increased, Wei obviously did not want to give Qin a chance to become stronger.

There were 150,000 elite troops of the Wei State on the east bank of the Jing River, and the army was led by General Pang Juan. Facing such a powerful enemy, no one in the Qin court dared to claim victory.

However, the Qin people who migrated from the east and fought their way out of the Xirong army never surrendered easily.

In order to be able to fully deal with the 150,000 troops under Pang Juan's command, Qin Gong Ying Quliang even chose to go to the front line personally and take command. As for the government affairs of the country, all the government affairs were left to the superior doctor Zheng Sheng.

In the study room of the mansion, Zheng Sheng, the senior official of Qin State, who was extremely busy with government affairs, had just finished reviewing the document in his hand.

Suddenly, a burst of shouting rang in my ears, "Come up to the doctor, come up to the doctor, come up to the doctor..."

The next moment, as the study door opened, a middle-aged man appeared in front of Zheng Sheng.

He looked around the study room, and when he saw Zheng Sheng behind the desk, the person came to Zheng Sheng in two steps at a time.

"Sir, sir, urgent report from Wushi Sai."

After a while, after hearing everything in his ears, Zheng Sheng quickly came to a map in the study.

After sketching in front of his eyes with his fingers again, Zheng Sheng looked at the man behind him, Qin General Ying Zhi.

"General Yingzhi, I wonder what you think of the news coming from Wushi Sai?"

"Sir, the general will think that he has to take precautions."

Eyes met with Zheng Sheng's, and a sharp edge from fighting on the battlefield appeared on Ying Zhi's body.

"Sir, since Wei General Pang Juan and Chen Bing crossed the Jingshui River, the remnants of Yiqu's troops have repeatedly caused trouble at the front line of our Great Wall."

"Not only that, these remnants of Yiqu soldiers have even become more aggressive this time, taking the initiative to challenge our garrisoned soldiers to fight."

"I don't know what the specific situation is, but I always feel that there may be something fishy in it."

After listening to Ying Zhi's analysis, Zheng Sheng's eyes fell on the map in front of him again, and his thoughts continued to flow in his mind.

"What the general just said coincides with what I am thinking."

"Now that the Wei State's 150,000 troops are pressing down on the border, if there is another wave along the northern Great Wall, then the situation facing our Qin State will be precarious."

"Wuzhi Fortress is a key defensive pass in the north, so no mistakes can be made..."

Before Zheng Sheng could finish his words, Ying Zhi immediately stepped forward and volunteered: "Now there are 20,000 soldiers in Yongdu City. The last general is willing to lead 5,000 elite reinforcements immediately to ensure that the Wushi Fortress is safe."

Zheng Sheng slowly retracted his gaze from the map and turned to look at Ying Zhi with a solemn look in his eyes.

"Originally, this matter should be sent to the Jingshui camp and left to the king to make a decision, but the situation in Wuzhisai is really urgent."

After thinking for a moment, a determined look appeared on Zheng Sheng's face, "Where is General Ying Zhi?"

"The end will be here."

"I order you to lead five thousand elite troops to the north immediately for reinforcements. There must be no mistake."

"Follow orders."

Ying Zhi bowed to accept the order, and Zheng Sheng quickly took a few steps to come to him.

"The original army of Wuzhi Fortress is five thousand, plus the five thousand brought by the general, plus the strong defense of the city, we should be able to protect the fortress."

"General, please be careful. The safety of Wushi Sai is entrusted to the general."

"Please don't worry, doctor."

After bowing to Zheng Sheng, Ying Zhi turned around and strode out of the room.

When the other party's figure completely disappeared from sight, Zheng Sheng quickly returned to his seat and began to write a silk letter to be sent to the front line.

"Here comes someone. Send him to the Jingshui camp immediately and hand him over to your Majesty."

Zheng Sheng, who was in the study of Yongdu Mansion, didn't know that the situation in Wushi Sai in the north was even much worse than he had expected;

Ying Zhi, who led an army of five thousand to the north, did not know that his marching trajectory was already being watched by scouts from the north.

"Sima..."

Shouts rang out in Wushi Fortress, and compared to those in Yongdu's study a few days ago, there was a bit more joy in these voices.

Sun Boling, Sima of Wei State, who was standing in front of a map and scanning the entire battlefield situation, then looked towards the direction where the sound came from.

"What's going on?"

"Reporting to Sima, the frontline scouts sent back a secret report that about 5,000 Qin troops have left Micheng and are coming towards our Wuzhi Fort."

While he was talking, the deputy general who came excitedly handed a silk book to Sun Boling.

After taking the silk book and keeping his eyes moving, the corners of Sun Boling's mouth raised slightly.

It was obvious that a big fat fish was approaching, it was up to him whether he could catch it successfully.

His eyes returned to the map, and his eyes moved along the Longshan Road. Sun Boling's face was full of contemplation.

"This is the place."

As his finger landed on the map in front of him, a cold light appeared in Sun Boling's eyes.

"Here comes someone."

"The end is here!"

…

"Drive, drive, drive..."

On the Longshan Road from Qicheng to Wuzhisai, a Qin army was slowly advancing towards the north.

A sound of urging horses came from a distance, which immediately attracted the attention of Qin General Ying Zhi.

Not long after, several Qingqi in dark military uniforms came to Ying Zhi.

After seeing clearly the identity of the visitor, Ying Zhi put down some of his guard.

"Who is coming?"

"On the order of General Bai Yu, we are here to welcome the army to Wushi Sai."

In the team, after hearing the reports from the people on the opposite side and the soldiers confirming the identity of the person coming, Ying Zhi's hand slowly released the hilt of his sword.

"drive……"

With his legs clamped on the horse's belly and the reins shaking in his hands, Ying Zhi quickly passed through the team and arrived in front of the opponent.

"Thank you, General Bai Yu, and please ask a few people to lead the way."

"Here."

Following these Qin troops from Wushi Sai, Ying Zhi led the army and continued to march slowly to the north.

But what Ying Zhi didn't know was that the Wuzhi Fortress had now fallen into the hands of the Wei army, and the "Qin army's light cavalry" in front of him were not all Qin armies.

Little did he know that the road ahead for him and his army would not be smooth.
