The civil servants advised each other and knelt down.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yuan took a deep breath, then stepped forward in person, helped Li Minggui and others up: "Come on, get up."

I thought the lord was angry, but I didn't expect it to be like this. Li Minggui was obviously at a loss: "Lord... lord..."

"This time, you are talking freely and there is a dispute between civil and military affairs. This is a good thing."

Xiao Yuan's voice was gentle and continued:

"But I tell you that this battle is inevitable. In a time of great struggle, if Qin does not fight, he will die!"

As he spoke, he personally pulled up the civil servants kneeling on the ground, and tidied their official uniforms, and continued: "You are all county magistrates in the country. No one knows the local area better than you, and no one knows the local food, salary, taxes, and taxes better than you. I need all your help. I, the Qin army soldiers, will not be able to go to the battlefield without you!"

"Therefore, your responsibility is to the country and the safety of Qin."

Regardless of the size of the official position, he said that everyone was very important. After listening to the civil servants who invited me to get peace, they were deeply moved. Some even said, "Lord, we are all asking for peace. Are you not angry..."

"Of course I'm angry." Xiao Yuan said seriously: "But I understand in my heart that you are trying your best to make peace, not because you are afraid of death, but because you are also worried about Qin, but because you have different opinions!"

"Lord..." The civil servants were moved again, and Li Minggui said in a trembling voice: "Lord said this, and we are ashamed. We must do our best to help our Qin soldiers defeat the powerful enemy!"

"We should do our best to help the lord..."

People said together.

Don’t underestimate these local officials. Their role plays too great in the transportation of food and grass in various places!

They had tried their best to seek peace, and among them, those who were greedy and afraid of death naturally accounted for the majority. Xiao Yuan understood in his heart! But he suppressed his anger and was calm. He said a few words, which made the civil and military united.

It can also be seen from this that he already possesses the power of a king.

"Now, our civil and military officials in Qin work together to unite against the enemy, so why worry about not defeating the strong enemy!"

Xiao Yuan said in a stern voice, and as he spoke, he also drew out the battle sword:

"From today, if someone dares to say something about cede the land, he will be killed immediately!"

"No matter who it is! If you dare to surrender again, it will disrupt our military morale. It will be dealt with by military law!"

He held the sword in his hand and shouted at him, establishing his mind and his great power. Seeing this, the civil and military officials said in unison:

"Abide by the lord's order—"

"All the generals obey orders!"

"The last general is here!" The generals on the left clasped their fists together and responded with a trembling voice.

"Appoint Zhao Mu as the chief general of the former army."

"The last general will receive the order!"

"Let Su Yi be the General of the East."

"Peng Shuang is the pioneer general."

"Liang Xiao is General Pingdong."

"Xu Hu is the general of the Hu Guard."

"Goldman Sachs is the former deputy general."

"Guan Kui is a lieutenant of the army."

"Zhang Dashan is a side general of the former army."

"Shangguan Wenruo is joining the army."

"Liu Changqing is the leader of the army."

"Liu Yuzhi is the general promotion officer."

"Li Minggui is the Yong'an dispatcher."

"Zhang Jingrui is the dispatcher of Longyou..."

After an appointment, a large number of officials were listed in the hall.

After the military order was issued, Xiao Yuan also said directly: "Each department will perform its duties, go on and prepare quickly, and mobilize troops immediately!"

"Abide by the lord's order—"

Just as everyone was about to retreat, Xiao Yuan looked at one of them again and reached out and shouted, "Shao Ping stay."

"No!" the latter responded.

Soon, everyone in the hall had already walked one after another and went down to prepare for the things before the war. Xia Ping bowed Xiao Yuan and asked tentatively: "What are the instructions for lord?"

Xiao Yuan looked at him and said, "Xia Ping, if I remember correctly, in the battle against Xirong, outside Qingshan City, you killed fourteen enemies, beheaded the enemy's side generals, and fought in blood. You would rather die than retreat and defeat Xirong. You will make a great contribution."

"It is a lifelong honor for the last general to follow the lord!" Xia Ping replied immediately. This person went to the battlefield among the Qin army, and that was a true character who was desperate. He was extremely bloody and his loyalty to Xiao Yuan was beyond doubt.

When Xiao Yuan heard this, he smiled first and then said, "But this time, I have another important task to hand over to you."

"But please give me instructions!"

"Ningyang." Xiao Yuan said directly.

"The lord means..." Xia Ping asked in a voice.

Xiao Yuan explained: "When the four countries attacked Qin, their main force must be in Shanyuguan, but outside Ningyang is the Wu Kingdom. If the Wu army breaks through Ningyang with 100,000 troops, the entire Qin territory will be in danger, so our army has to guard against it."

"I understand the last general and I am willing to guard Ningyang!" Xia Ping said directly.

Xiao Yuan glanced at him again and said, "But I can only give you 30,000 soldiers, and what you face is most likely to be the elite of 100,000 Wu troops!"

With such a gap in force, I thought Xia Ping would hesitate for a moment, but the latter didn't even think about it, so he said directly: "Thirty thousand is enough! If Ning Yang is in trouble, I will come to see you!"

"Okay!" Seeing him saying this, Xiao Yuan was shocked and then said seriously: "Defend Ningyang to the death! Keep it! You are the first achievement in this battle!"

"Get order!" Xia Ping clasped his fists hard.

After Xiao Yuan's military deployment was completed, as his military order was conveyed to the army, the Qin army immediately started to move. In addition to the 30,000 soldiers who needed to defend the Xirong and some defenses in other places, 100,000 rushed to Shanyuguan, and another 30,000 followed Xia Ping to Ningyang, Shu.

Although the battle has not yet begun, the situation is clear. The four-national coalition forces have a total of 400,000 troops and the Qin army's main force is very likely to face 300,000 enemy troops at Shanyuguan, while Ningyang may face 100,000 Wu troops.

On the surface, both sides have huge differences in military strength and national strength, and are not favored by the countries below.

Among the four kings who attacked Qin, it was unanimous that the Qin lord Xiao Yuan was most likely to send envoys to seek peace before the war, either ceding land, losing money, and begging for mercy. However, after the news came back, the Qin army was urgently deploying defenses.

Bai Ze.

After listening to the report, the four kings were stunned for a moment, and then the King of Jin laughed and said, "It seems that Master Qin will not cry until he sees the coffin. Facing the army of our four countries, he dares to fight!"

The other three kings also shook their heads slightly.

King Huan said: "Does Lord Qin think his Qin army can defeat our four countries?"

"I was given time to send envoys to seek peace, but I didn't see the envoy. Since that's the case, then I'll take the land by myself." said the King of Wu.

"Yeah." King Jin nodded and said, "According to the military report, the Qin Lord went to Ningyang with 30,000 troops, and another 100,000 were stationed in Shanyuguan. If this is the case, then the brother of the King of Wu ordered the Wu army to march into Ningyang. Our three-country army broke through Shanyuguan in one fell swoop, and the two routes advanced together to directly destroy Qin."
