Chapter 150: Welcoming the Royal Army

When the news came that the 100, 00 border troops were routed and the Qin army was chasing the defeated troops toward Xinzheng, everyone in Xinzheng was in an uproar, and then fell into fear.

No one expected that the rout of the border troops would be so fast.

Qin Guo only sent 100, 00 troops to conquer Han Guo this time. With 100, 00 against 100, 00, even if the Qin soldiers were not as well-trained as Qin, they should not have been completely unable to fight back.

As a result, they were wrong.

The Qin general Wang Xuan Jian gave them a hard lesson. Even though Wang Xuan Jian had suffered some defeats after Bai Qi's death, those who gave him defeats were Lord Lord Xinling, Wei Wei Wuji, Le Cheng, and others, definitely not including the generals of Han Guo.

It was also 100, 00 troops, but the Qin army led by Wang Xuan Jian routed the Han Guo army with almost no damage. Among them, there was certainly a part of the reason that Han Guo had no available generals, but this indirectly explained how vulnerable the army of Han Guo was.

This was not surprising.

After all, the previous Grand General of Han Guo was Ji Ji Wuye.

When Ji Ji Wuye was the Grand General, he basically did everything, except for training soldiers. He formed cliques for private interests, secretly plotted military pay, and privately sold military equipment. The entire army had become filthy and unbearable. After Ji Ji Wuye died, this situation did not improve.

The army of Han Guo had long been rotten to the core.

The Crown Prince of Han Guo and Chancellor Zhang Kaidi did not understand the reason. When they learned that the army was routed, they once suspected that it was fake news. After confirming again and again that it was true, they fell into deep silence, and then, it was anger.

They thought they had raised enough grain and could use the power of the border troops to resist Qin's invasion. As a result, they were wrong. The border troops were so vulnerable.

What they didn't expect even more was that after Wang Xuan Jian routed their army, he not only did not stop, but also came all the way toward Xinzheng. Obviously, the cities and land that had fallen into Qin's hands at the moment could not satisfy Qin's appetite.

Qin Guo is preparing to destroy Han Guo in one fell swoop!

After realizing this, the monarch and ministers of Han Guo, after anger, fell into fear one after another.

Court meetings, one after another.

Facing the aggressive Qin army, the Crown Prince of Han Guo could only ask the ministers for advice, hoping they could come up with a way to retreat the enemy. Unfortunately, it was doomed to be in vain. In the court, there were mostly empty talkers. Talking about it, it was nothing more than ceding land for peace, and fighting to the death with Qin Guo.

Ceding land for peace? Qin Guo must be willing to accept it. At the moment, Qin Guo occupied so much territory and had not yet withdrawn its troops, which meant their appetite was bigger than imagined.

As for fighting to the death?

Does Han Guo still have the ability to fight to the death with Qin Guo?

After the court meeting ended, Ji Ji Yihu returned to the mansion and immediately sent someone to summon the Straw-Cloaked Guest.

Han Guo faced such a crisis, which also made him feel a deep sense of crisis. He couldn't help but rethink what the Straw-Cloaked Guest had said earlier and prepared to seek another way out for himself.

After the Straw-Cloaked Guest arrived, Ji Ji Yihu quickly asked the Straw-Cloaked Guest: "Mr., if I surrender to Qin Guo and actively help Qin Guo occupy Xinzheng, would Qin Guo be willing to accept my surrender?"

With the country in peril, some people chose to fight to the death with Qin Guo, while others, from the beginning, only cared about themselves.

It can only be said that Ji Ji Yihu is indeed Ji Ji Wuye's biological son, and in terms of selfishness, he is exactly the same as Ji Ji Wuye.

Seeing that Han Guo was about to fail, he couldn't help but start thinking about his own retreat.

But there was one more problem before this, which was whether Qin Guo was willing to accept his surrender. You know, he had no channels to contact Qin Guo.

"The Young General doesn't know, when the Grand General was still alive, the Nightfall had a lot of cooperation with Qin Guo's Net organization. We can contact Qin Guo's Net organization to discuss this matter!" The Straw-Cloaked Guest explained to Ji Ji Yihu.

Ji Ji Yihu heard this, his eyes flickered slightly, and he couldn't help but look at the Straw-Cloaked Guest more. "Mr. advised me earlier, I am afraid it was the Net's idea!"

The Straw-Cloaked Guest frowned and was about to explain.

Ji Ji Yihu said again: "I don't mean to blame the Mr., I just hope the Mr. can say a few good words for me at the Net, hoping that Qin Guo can remember the merit I have made this time!"

The Straw-Cloaked Guest said: "Young General, rest assured, Qin Guo has always been clear about rewards and punishments. Even if it is a commoner, as long as they make military exploits, they can be promoted to high positions and obtain titles."

"If the Young General can help Qin Guo destroy Han Guo, this is the merit of destroying a country, enough for the Young General to be enfeoffed as a marquis and general in Qin Guo!"

Hearing the four words 'enfeoffed as a marquis and general', Ji Ji Yihu's eyes lit up, and he gradually made up his mind.

The night was deep. Because the Qin army continued to press toward Xinzheng, and the crisis caused by the domestic drought had not been resolved, under internal and external troubles, the Crown Prince of Han Guo summoned the ministers again to discuss countermeasures.

Although it was only a court meeting in the morning, and another one at night, it was inevitable that it seemed a bit frequent.

But it is not certain that someone might have thought of a countermeasure after a day.

Many ministers walked into the court hall with anxiety. Since the drought occurred, they basically had not slept well. After Chancellor Zhang Kaidi also stepped into the court with his old body, this court meeting officially began.

The Crown Prince of Han Guo sat on the throne and was just about to speak to continue asking the ministers for advice, when suddenly, he found that someone was missing, so he asked: "Where did General Ji go?"

Hearing the words of the Crown Prince of Han Guo, many ministers also found that someone was indeed missing.

Ji Ji Yihu was gone.

After Ji Ji Wuye died, Ji Ji Yihu inherited his title. The Crown Prince of Han Guo valued Ji Ji Yihu highly. Many ministers knew that this was to appease the old subordinates of Ji Ji Wuye. Although Ji Ji Wuye died, his power back then was too great, and his old subordinates still held a lot of energy.

"Perhaps General Ji has other important matters, so he delayed the court meeting!" Someone speculated.

The Crown Prince of Han Guo nodded. Although Ji Ji Yihu did not come, the court meeting continued.

Just as the court meeting was about to end, suddenly, there was a sound of shouting and killing outside.

This made the expressions of many ministers in the court change slightly.

Then, they knew where the shouting and killing came from.

Ji Ji Yihu was wearing armor, and there was still undried blood on the armor. He held his father's sword, Eight Feet, and led the army to kill into the court hall.

That night, Xinzheng changed. Ji Ji Yihu, through the Nightfall, contacted many of Ji Ji Wuye's old subordinates, and with the power of the city's garrison, fiercely killed into the palace, launched a mutiny, and many ministers participating in the court meeting, together with the Crown Prince of Han Guo, became his prisoners.

A few days later.

The Qin army led by Wang Xuan Jian arrived outside Xinzheng. Ji Ji Yihu brought many prisoners, opened the city gates, and actively surrendered to welcome the Royal Army!
