I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world

"What is this? What is written on this seal?"

Bai Xunming read it carefully and said word by word,

"Da! Yan! Lan! Ling?!!"

"Wu'an, are you really secretly communicating with the State of Yan?"

Bai Wuan smiled bitterly and said,

"How is that possible? I have never had any secret dealings with the State of Yan. This is just a way out that King Lanling of Yan left for me.

At the beginning, I made a bet with Lanling Wang, on the condition that he would deliberately frame me.

If the emperor trusts me and does not dismiss me from my post, he will have lost. From now on, the Yan army will retreat when they see me.

If the emperor does not trust me, removes my military power, and transfers me back to Xianyang, I will lose. When the Yan army breaks through Xianyang and the Qin State is destroyed, he will give me 100,000 Qin elite soldiers to form a Qin legion to fight for the Yan State.

Two months after I was deposed, a Yan spy came to see me secretly and gave me this thing.

This black dragon is the totem of Great Yan, and this seal is the seal of Lanling King himself. With him here, the lives of my entire Bai family can be protected from the invasion of the Yan army.

He also kindly instructed us to send servants to the door to prevent illiterate soldiers from not recognizing the seal. If any Yan troops approached, they would be told what it meant.

Bai Xunming held the seal in his hand, tears welling up in his eyes as he said,

"Wu An, you saved our family's lives, but you will be cursed for eternity."

Bai Wuan chuckled and said,

"It doesn't matter. Whether it's a bad name or a good name, it doesn't matter to me. After I die, I'll just be a pile of dirt. What's the point of caring about my posthumous reputation?

I heard that the State of Wei surrendered.

And tonight, the Qin Dynasty will also perish.

The Great Yan State was prosperous and had the aura of being the ruler of the world.

The Great Yan State was home to many famous generals who were invincible, while the Great Qin State was plagued by incompetent rulers and corrupt officials, and suffered repeated defeats.

Today, Zheng Ping'an did this again, and the Qin Dynasty's luck has come to an end.

We should not be those who go against the times, trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm or shaking a tree with an ant.

Shen Changgong and I once had a very pleasant conversation, and we both agreed that only by unifying the world can we eliminate war.

I didn't want to betray the Qin Dynasty, so Shen Changgong gave me this opportunity. He instigated me to leave and transferred me back to Xianyang in order to avoid fighting with me and to save my life.

It was also to... prevent me from betraying the Qin Dynasty."

Bai Wuan looked at Bai Xunming and said,

"Brother, this is the destiny of the ages, this is the tide of our nation's fortune. We can't defeat him, so why not join him and help Yan unify the world, so that the people can suffer less."

Bai Xunming looked at him, nodded seriously, and said,

"Okay, I understand. There are still people from the Emperor outside the door. Please wait here for another night. I will take care of the family affairs.

Don't worry, after tonight, I will kill the two emperor's men, and you can hide in the abyss."

"Ah."

General Bai Xun put the seal in his arms, went out, and asked the servants to call back all the members of the Bai family.

……

Thirty miles north of Xianyang.

Guan Shouchang marched with firm steps, leading his army towards the south.

Xianyang City is now within reach.

He had to fight his way in to survive.

Just then, a Skynet officer came on horseback to report.

"Reporting to the commander, the officials we bribed in Xianyang City have brought us a piece of extremely important news!"

"Oh? What happened?"

Guan Shouchang asked hurriedly.

“He said that the Emperor of Qin sent General Zheng Ping’an with an army of 300,000 soldiers out of the city to meet our army.

There are no more defenders in the entire city of Xianyang now, it feels very empty."

Hearing this, Guan Shouchang froze in his tracks and said in disbelief,

"You mean to say that the Qin people were so foolish as to send all their garrisons to meet our army?

Is this coach Zheng Pingan someone we bribed?"

Guan Shouchang's first reaction was, could the enemy coach be one of his own? Otherwise, how could he make such a stupid move?

"No, Marshal, if Zheng Ping'an is one of ours, then we don't need to fight, we can just open the door and go in.

They want to take advantage of our exhaustion and annihilate us completely."

"Wipe us out? Hahahaha..."

Guan Shouchang seemed to have heard a joke, and then said,

"Order the whole army to assemble. We stopped to rest for two quarters of an hour, eat some rations and drink some water, and prepare for battle.

Also, quickly go and call Su Wuan and Chen Qing to me!"

"As ordered!"

As Guan Shouchang issued the military order, the Yan army, which was still on the road, quickly gathered where he was, and then sat down to rest, eat dry food and drink water.

A moment later, Su Wuan and Chen Qing also rushed over and asked what had happened.

Guan Shouchang explained the matter.

Chen Qing was stunned when he heard this and laughed.

"Hahahaha, the Emperor of Qin is so stupid! It's ridiculous! He sent all his troops to fight us and ignored his own lair, but he chose to stay in his lair. It really makes me laugh to death.

General Guan, we just need to send a special force to go around to the west gate under the cover of night, and then blow up the city gate and charge in.

As long as we capture the emperor alive, this war will be over."

Guan Shouchang also nodded with a smile, took a bite of the dry food, and said,

"That's what I meant, so I wanted to ask you two: who should be given the credit for capturing the emperor alive and destroying the Qin State?"

Su Wuan immediately said,

"I, I, I, give it to me. I will lead 50,000 unrivaled troops and charge in from the west gate. We can definitely capture Xianyang in one fell swoop and capture the Qin Emperor alive!"

"Give it to me, I can do that too!"

Chen Qing also said immediately.

"You have the merit of capturing Emperor Kun alive, but I haven't achieved any merit since I joined the army.

"Brother Chen, please, give me this opportunity. If there is any chance to make merit in the future, I will definitely not compete with you. I swear, okay?"

Seeing that the child was so anxious, Chen Qing didn't want to snatch anything anymore, so he nodded.

Guan Shouchang laughed and said,

"Let's put it this way. This plan to attack Xianyang City was Chen Qing's idea, and he has already made a great contribution. The credit for this battle belongs to you.

Let Xiao Su be given the credit for capturing the emperor alive.

We are all commanders of the Yan army. How about we share the credit equally? You know, it's not easy to bear the burden of holding back the main force of the Qin army.

We have to fight against 300,000 enemy troops, and the pressure is enormous."

Chen Qing nodded and said,

"I have no objection. We are a whole. There is no point in vying for credit. The prince knows right from wrong and will not treat us unfairly."

“Yes, Your Highness also knows that at this point, anyone can capture the emperor alive, and it is not Xiao Su’s achievement alone.

That’s settled then.”
