"Kakaka..."

Amidst the squeezing sound of wood, the gate of the Western Zhou Dynasty, which had been closed for many days, was slowly opened.

Due to successive defeats on the battlefield, the Western Zhou army, which was unable to fight effectively, had to rely on the strong walls of the royal city for passive defense.

As the Allied armies of the Three Jin Dynasties approached the city, thick clouds of war gradually enveloped the entire Western Zhou royal city.

Now that Qin's 30,000-strong army was about to arrive, the three Jin coalition forces temporarily retreated, and a bright sunshine finally ushered in the sky above the royal city of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

When the gate of the Western Zhou Royal City was completely opened, a group of armored soldiers came out of the city. The leader was none other than one of the protagonists of the Western Zhou Dynasty's civil strife, Prince Ji Chao.

Standing under the solid wall of the Western Zhou Dynasty, looking at the horizon in the distance, Ji Chao's face was full of expectation at this moment.

After waiting for a long time, there was still no sign of the army appearing. Young Master Ji Chao's face was obviously a little impatient, and he looked away unconsciously.

Seeing that the figure who usually stood beside him had not appeared for a long time at this moment, Ji Chao suddenly felt a little unhappy in his heart.

"Why didn't Mr. Zheng come? Didn't I ask you to invite him over in advance?"

After hearing his inquiry, a minister standing behind Ji Chao immediately stepped forward and bowed and said: "Master Qi, I have already sent someone to invite Mr. Zheng, but..."

"Just what?"

The minister heard the displeasure in Ji Chao's words, and looked forward with a little caution.

"It's just that the husband said he was feeling unwell and couldn't come."

"Huh, what's wrong with you..."

When Ji Chao heard what the minister said, the unhappiness in his heart gradually turned into dissatisfaction with Zheng Sheng.

But at this moment, a sound of war horses neighing suddenly came from the distance, and at the same time, a large black banner slowly appeared in everyone's sight.

"Sir, the Qin army has arrived."

Because of the arrival of the Qin army, Ji Chao had to temporarily suppress his unhappiness and tried hard to make a smile appear on his face.

A few breaths later, when a chariot stopped in front of everyone, Ji Chao immediately rushed towards the visitor impatiently.

"The last general, Zhang Xi, has met the young master."

"The final general Ying Qian has met the young master."

"Two generals, please get up quickly."

Quickly stepping forward to lift up Zhang Yu and Ying Qian who were saluting, Ji Chao looked at the two men with a bright smile in his eyes.

"The Qin Kingdom and the Western Zhou Kingdom are hundreds of miles apart. The two generals were not afraid of the long journey and led their armies to reinforce our Western Zhou Kingdom. I am truly grateful."

"Young Master's words are serious." Facing Ji Chao, Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice: "Young Master is the eldest son of the Duke of Western Zhou Dynasty, and inheriting the throne of Western Zhou Dynasty is an act of God's will."

"The three Jin Dynasties chose to support Gong Zigen because of their own selfishness. This is an act of bullying the weak. Everyone in the world is filled with righteous indignation. The general believes that even if our Qin country does not stand up, someone will always stand up."

Although the Qin State this time only used supporting the prince to ascend the throne as an excuse to send troops, the real purpose was to test the details of the three Jin Dynasties, especially the Wei army.

However, there are some things that can be done secretly but cannot be said openly. Facing the young master in front of him, Zhang Yu, as the commander-in-chief of the Qin army, would inevitably have to say some high-sounding words.

After Ji Chao heard what Zhang Yu said, his face immediately showed an excited expression. It was obvious that these words really spoke to his heart.

Taking Zhang's hand, Ji Chaodang invited him to walk towards the royal city.

…

"Drive... drive... drive..."

A dull sound of horse hooves hitting the ground sounded outside the Qin Army's camp, which immediately attracted the attention of the Qin Army soldiers who were on duty on the camp wall.

Looking over the past along with the constant roaring sound in his ears, a group of cavalry wearing dark armor suddenly appeared on the horizon in the distance.

The war horses passed through the heavily guarded camp gate, and their hooves trampled through the corridors where soldiers patrolled. This group of Qin Army cavalry finally stopped in front of the Chinese army's tent at the core of the camp.

He simply turned over and dismounted, and after giving some comfort to the war horse that kept breathing heavily, Zhang Yu, as the commander-in-chief of the Qin Army, handed it over to the waiting soldiers.

Just as Zhang Yu was walking towards the main tent of the Chinese army, a hunting sound appeared in his ears.

Looking in the direction of the sound, a large flag with the Chinese character Qin fluttering high in the wind appeared in Zhang Yu's field of vision.

The steps under his feet were still unable to move forward, and his left hand slowly touched the long sword at his waist. At this moment, a fighting spirit gradually rose in Zhang Yu's chest.

The war is not far away, and it depends on how he deploys his troops and generals.

After looking at it for an unknown amount of time, Zhang Yu suddenly retracted his gaze and strode towards the Chinese army's tent.

After entering the tent, Zhang Yu briefly recalled the scene he had just seen, and then asked the deputy general Ying Qian behind him in a deep voice: "Ying Qian, what do you think of the three Jin coalition forces this time?"

"After our recent investigation, this three-jin coalition army is indeed well-organized and well-trained. It is not comparable to the Rong tribe our army has fought against before."

With a solemn expression on his face, Ying Qian reminded Zhang Yu in front of him: "General, this time our army will fight against the coalition forces. You must be careful, otherwise defeat will be around the corner."

After listening to Ying Qian's evaluation of the three Jin coalition forces, Zhang Qian nodded slightly. Just as Ying Qian said, the three Jin coalition forces on the opposite side should not be underestimated.

However, although the three Jin coalition forces are well-trained, the 30,000 Qin troops under his command are also elite soldiers who have experienced battles for a long time.

Before there is a real fight, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose.

Thoughts in his mind were spinning a thousand times, and he looked at the map in the tent for a long time. Suddenly, a cold light flashed in Zhang Yu's eyes.

"Ying Qian, pass my order to the general and beat the drum..."

"Gather together!"

When Zhang Yu's command sounded in his ears, a touch of excitement appeared on his face, and he gave a military salute to the front.

"Here"

"Dong dong dong..."

Accompanied by the command from the commander-in-chief Zhang Xi, the passionate sound of war drums appeared in the Qin army's camp, and soon all the Qin army generals took their positions in the tent.

Sitting on the general's seat, his sharp eyes swept over a Qin army general who was waiting in front of him, and a look of satisfaction quietly emerged in Zhang Yu's eyes.

After a few breaths of silence, Zhang Yu took a roll of bamboo slips from the desks in front of him, and then looked at one of the Qin army generals.

"Where is the herald?"

"The end will be here."

Hearing this call from the general Zhang Xi, the Qin army general did not dare to neglect and immediately came to him quickly.

After handing the bamboo slip written in his own hand to the Qin army general, Zhang Xuan ordered in a deep voice: "Send this battle document to the coalition camp quickly without any mistakes."

"Here."

Taking the bamboo slips from Zhang Xi's hand, the Qin army general bowed, turned around and left the Chinese army's tent.
