Emperor Qin Ba Shi

Chapter 38 Valley Hunting!

In the past three months, the situation in the Central Plains has undergone earth-shaking changes. First, Hu Hai, the second emperor of Qin, was invigorated and killed Zhao Gao, smashing the Xianyang court in one fell swoop.

Then defeating Liu Ji at Gaoguan, allowing King Chu Xiongxin to enter the pass in two ways, has become a joke ever since.

Then holding an army of 20 prisoners, Zhang Han, the important minister of Jiuqing, who was known as the last pillar of the Great Qin Empire, surrendered, and then Xin'an killed an army of 20 prisoners.

Zhang Han died in battle, Sima Xin, Dong Yi and others were killed!

Hangu Pass was far away, and 20 children of the old Qin people were killed in Xin'an. The world was shocked, and Xiang Yu's fierce power overwhelmed the entire Central Plains for a while.

This is not over yet, Hu Hai immediately issued a letter to the people of Daqin, in his words, he would rather die than surrender, and called on the old Qin people in Guanzhong to fight bloody all over the country.

One hundred thousand and nine original troops went south to Hangu Pass, and Wang Ben, the Marquis of Tongwu, who had disappeared since the first emperor's east tour, suddenly appeared, adding another change to this already doomed chaotic world.

Hu Hai who suddenly came to his senses was counted as one, and Wang Ben who suddenly appeared was also counted as one.

……

Liu Ji stayed in Wuguan, Xiang Yu pushed Hangu Pass, and Chu King Xiongxin guarded Pengcheng. The eyes of the whole world were on Hangu Pass.

They all belonged to Xiang Yu, the general of the coalition of princes, and Wang Ben, Tongwuhou of the Great Qin Dynasty.Similarly, Hu Hai of Gaoguan was worried about the battle at Hangu Pass.

He handed over the Gaoguan army to Xi, and personally led a hundred iron eagle warriors to go straight to Hangu Pass.

……

Huaiyang River Valley.

Galloping all the way, the horse galloped, wishing to put on its wings, Hu Hai who flew to Hangu Pass with a whoosh, unexpectedly gave the order to rest in place.

More than 100 iron eagle warriors looked solemnly, looking at the young and heroic Emperor His Majesty, their eyes were full of excitement and reverence.

Ying Heng, who was in charge of the lookout, suddenly turned around and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Huaiyang is only fifty miles away from Hangu Pass, and it can be reached in half a day. Would you like to hurry, Your Majesty?"

Hu Haisifu said: "It's good to travel quickly, but if you travel across mountains and rivers in one fell swoop, even if you are a strong iron eagle, you may not be able to persevere."

"I have ordered the army to set up camp, feed the horses, and feed the knights. Hunt today, rest for a day, and then advance."

"Yes."

……

"Your Majesty, Xiang Yu killed 20 prisoner troops in Xin'an Pit. At this moment, he still has 30 princes' coalition troops in his hands. Hangu Pass only has [-] original troops. Can we hold it?"

"To shut up!"

Hu Hai lowered his voice, sternly reprimanded, and sighed heavily again: "Jiu Lao Qin, let's go to the country together. Ziheng, the heavens have sent a great mission to the Ying family. I only have to straighten my spine so that I will not shame the Ying family or the Great Qin." Died by my hands!"

Ying Heng bowed deeply to Hu Hai: "I will bear in mind your Majesty's instruction, and never shame the Ying clan!"

……

In October, although there is a cold wind blowing, the sky is clear and clear, the sky in Huaiyang is as blue as washing, and the vast pastures under the mountains are already withered and yellow.

The earth has entered a harsh winter, and the free and unrestrained beasts have rushed into the cave impatiently, preparing for the winter.

In normal times, the valleys and grasslands among the peaks in Huaiyang are already full of galloping horses and galloping hounds, but in this cold October month, they have almost disappeared.

Hu Hai knew that this was not only due to the freezing weather, but also the instability of the Great Qin Empire, which filled the hearts of the people with depression and no mood to hunt.

With the death of 20 criminals in Xin'an, and the emperor's letter to the people of Qin Dynasty, in the Guanzhong area, the foundation of the Qin Empire, there is a dark cloud over the hearts of the old Qin people.

Today's old Qin people in Guanzhong, all valuables at home are handed over to the state to contribute to the suppression of rebellion.Most of the old Qin people's homes are barren.

Even if you want to hunt in a majestic manner, you can't do it anymore. Therefore, when October is cold and the year of the Great Qin Empire is close, the Huaiyang hunting ground has a kind of empty silence.

……

Today, in the Huaiyang River Valley, there is a trace of vitality. A black horse team is galloping across the open pasture, driving foxes, rabbits and wild sheep to the center from all sides.

Hu Hai and Ying Heng stood on the edge of the hunting ground watching and pointing, sighing or cheering from time to time.

Suddenly, a gray wolf sprang out from the vast reed grass, and rushed towards Hu Hai and the others like lightning.

Tie Yingruishi turned pale with shock: "Your Majesty, the wolf—!"

"Your Majesty, retreat quickly!" Ying Heng also looked anxious, and stretched out his left hand to pull Hu Hai back.

Wolves are spirit creatures among beasts, treacherous, ruthless and ferocious, they are the most exciting opponents for hunters.At this moment, Tie Yingruishi screamed heart-piercingly, clearly reminding Hu Hai: The wolf is dangerous, go back!

Seeing the wolf rushing towards him, Hu Hai blushed and shouted, "In the past, King Wu held up a tripod and asked about the severity. Today, I will punish the wolf, and the Great Qin will last forever!"

"drive!"

The horse galloped, and during the gallop, Hu Hai drew his bow and shot vigorously, and the long arrow flew out whistling, but was avoided by the wolf.

"Well done, let's see what the Qin people do!"

The horses neighed and jumped in terror, Hu Hai was immediately overturned from his horse, and the iron eagle warriors exclaimed, and the cavalry arrived swiftly.

On the pale yellow and green grass, Hu Hai was soaked in blood, his face was pale, and the wolf fell to the ground, motionless, completely breathless.

"Quick, doctor!"

Hu Hai waved his hands, and tried to smile: "Zi Heng, don't worry, it's just that the horse was startled, the blood on his body is from the wolf, and I only have a little skin trauma."

"Great Qin Wanshi!"

"Great Qin Wanshi!"

"Great Qin Wanshi!"

……

As Hu Hai's voice fell, Tie Ying Ruishi raised his arms and shouted, Hu Hai killed the wolf with his bare hands, giving them an unparalleled impact.

In ancient times, there was King Wu of the Qin Dynasty who held a tripod to ask about the importance and peeped at the Zhou family. Today, there is His Majesty the Emperor who punched and killed the wolf. Hu Hai's bravery gave Tie Yingrui unprecedented confidence.

After being treated by the injury doctor, Hu Hai changed his clothes, his whole body was pitch black, as if he wanted to blend in with the sky.

……

As dusk fell, several military tents were set up in the pastures of the Huaiyang River Valley, and several piles of bonfires were blazing.

At this moment, more than 100 iron eagle warriors are drinking and grilling meat in front of the bonfire, making noise and laughing, talking about the heroic act of His Majesty the Emperor's fist-killing wolf.

"Your Majesty, let them drink, this..."

After eating a piece of mutton leg, Hu Hai watched Tie Ying Ruishi's noise and laughter, and couldn't help a smile from the corner of his mouth: "Ziheng, the next one will be a battle to the death."

"Even drinking and eating meat this time will be the last time in their life. Huaiyang is located in the middle of the pass, so the danger is not great."

"I brought them to the battlefield, maybe I can't bring them back alive, but I can still afford a meal of wine and meat!"

……

Hu Hai understands Ying Heng's worries, and is even more aware of the precarious situation at the moment.But these people followed him from Xianyang, trekking and fighting all the way.

They have never rested, and they have not eaten meat or drunk for a long time.This is also the fundamental reason why Hu Hai stayed in Huaiyang and ordered the army to hunt.

　During the Qin Dynasty, October was the beginning of the year.
