Chapter 204 Who's Killing (1)
"How dare you show up here?" Zhongli was about to continue patrolling with his men when he saw the escort team leaving. The two people walking towards him were startled. He immediately ordered his men to continue patrolling and pulled Fan Zeng and Xiang Liang to a remote place on the side.
Zhongli was very familiar with Fan Zeng and Xiang Liang. Before the Chu State was destroyed, he was also a member of the Chu State's army, but after the Chu State was destroyed, he surrendered to the Qin Dynasty.
Today, the Great Qin troops have many surrendered to the six countries. Although their positions are generally relatively low, the number is also quite large.
There are those who sincerely surrender, and of course there are those who pretend to surrender and wait for the opportunity.
Even Ying Zheng had no choice but to learn from Bai Qi and killed all these surrendered soldiers. It would be okay if the number was smaller. The problem was that the total number of surrendered soldiers of the six countries was at least one million.
"We are looking for you?" Fan Zeng's words changed Zhong Li's face. After all, it was Feng in Fenglin Volcano and a famous general of a generation. If it were the past, Zhong Li would definitely follow them without saying a word.
However, in the past few years of the Qin Dynasty, although Zhongli people have also seen many dark sides of the Qin Dynasty, there is one thing that is undeniable, that is, after the Qin Dynasty unified the world, there has been no war in the whole world for four years.
In the previous period of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, there was no peace between the seven countries. Great wars did not break out frequently, but small-scale conflicts occurred every year, especially at the borders of the seven countries, which were often warned.
With this idea, Zhongli sometimes thought that the Qin Dynasty might not be a bad thing to unify the world.
"Sorry, I am a soldier of the Empire now. This time I can pretend that I haven't seen you. You can leave quickly. Let me see you next time, don't blame me." Zhongli said, turning around, waved his hand, and signaling them to leave quickly.
"With your strength, you are just a captain in the empire. Even a person like Bai Tu can be a general. Do you think such an empire is worthy of your loyalty?" Xiang Liang was about to get angry, but was stopped by Fan Zeng on the side. Zhongli's choice at this moment, Fan Zeng had thought of it before and had a countermeasure.
"This." Zhongli's face changed. As the successor of the military strategist, he had his desire to show his own desires. He had great skills and could only be a small lieutenant in the Qin Empire. Whenever he thought of this, Zhongli would of course be dissatisfied.
Isn’t the reason why Han Xin betrayed Xiang Yu back then because Xiang Yu did not value him? He clearly possessed the ability of a peerless handsome man, so he could only be regarded as a doctor in Xiang Yu.
This made Han Xin betray Xiang Yu. Later, Han Xin went to Liu Bang and immediately received Liu Bang's attention. The treatment on both sides was simply incomparable.
"The empire is cruel and unkind, and it is a fishy and meat. I think you have seen it in the Qin Dynasty in the past few years. If you don't say anything else, just talk about Bai Tu. He has done so many evil things in Dongjun, but he has not always firmly occupied the position of general. If such an empire exists for one day, the people in the world will suffer one more day. If you don't believe it, you can come with me." Fan Zeng said, pulling Xiang Liang and turning his head and leaving.
"Yes." Zhong Li thought for a while, after arranging his subordinates, he immediately followed Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng left.
As Zhongli, it was not his turn to do such a patrol on the street. After all, he was also a lieutenant. He was also an intermediate officer in Daqin and had many people under him.
However, because the Stone of the Stone of the Wisdom fell in Dongjun, the large number of Qin troops mobilized there, there was not enough manpower here. In addition, Zhang Han recently came to Dongjun and called a lot of troops, and there was no one available in Zhongli, so he had to go to the streets to patrol.
Unlike Bai Tu, Bai Tu is not going to patrol the streets, he is going to look for fat sheep to see if he can blackmail some money.
"You want to take me there." Zhongli Xu followed Fan Zeng and Xiang Liang and left the county town quickly and walked to the Daze Mountains. After walking for two hours, he had not reached the place. Zhongli Xu finally became a little impatient.
It’s not that Zhongli’s leisure journey is too far and he can’t walk anymore. Ordinary soldiers of this era are all going to march. This path is nothing to Zhongli. What Zhongli is worried about is that he has been away for too long and it is difficult to explain when he goes back. After all, he has left his post without hesitation.
"It's almost here." After Fan Zeng finished speaking, he looked carefully at the left and right, then deviated from the avenue and walked forward along the jungle.
"What is this?" Zhong Li, who followed, looked at the valley in front of him, and was very surprised. Standing in front of the valley was the Tenglong Legion wearing silver-white armor.
He was also a member of the Tenglong Legion back then. Even the armor he wore now was the silver-white armor of the past, rather than the black armor of the Qin Dynasty.
"You can see it yourself." Under Fan Zeng's gesture, Zhongli walked into the valley. The situation in the valley surprised Zhongli.
Nearly sixty ordinary people, the weak, sick and disabled, live in the valley. There is not a single young man, many of whom are still injured, and a girl in a civilian is taking care of the wounded.
"Do you know who they are?" Fan Zeng walked to Zhongli and spoke.
"They are people from the nearby village, but they are the last survivors." Fan Zeng continued without waiting for Zhongli to speak.
"What does it mean?" Zhongli asked in confusion.
"They are all villagers near the Stone of the Frame, but they are the last surviving villagers." Fan Zeng slowly told the origins of these people.
"What, this is impossible?" After listening to Fan Zeng's explanation, Zhongli couldn't believe it at all.
"This is the fact. If you don't believe it, you can ask them, maybe you can go and see the ruins of their village in person."
"This is the fact." At this time, the woman in the civilian who had been caring for the wounded came over. "The meteorite suddenly fell from the sky that day, and the villagers living nearby went to check it naturally, but not long after, a large number of soldiers appeared, without saying anything, and killed everyone when they saw it. If the only remaining men in the village had not resisted desperately and bought time for escape for us, and if we met them, we would have been dead long ago."
The woman in a civilian said and shed tears. The situation on that day was so miserable.
"Miss Meng Jiang, you can tell the handwriting on the Stone of Yinghuo that day, not the four big characters, but the small characters on one side." Fan Zeng said.
"You know how to read." Zhongli looked at this common woman in surprise. There are very few people who can read in this era, especially women. If they are high-ranking officials, it would be too difficult for ordinary people to read.
"My husband was once a doctor in Qi State. He taught me some of the words, "The First Emperor died and the earth was divided." Meng Jiang's words made Zhongli take a few steps back involuntarily.
"This is a warning from heaven. In order to hide it from all over the world, Ying Zheng did not hesitate to kill all the existences living nearby at that time. Is such an empire really necessary to be loyal?" Xiang Liang said.
In this era, the Stone of the Fraud almost had a supreme position, especially the handwriting on it, which could not have been artificial. What's more, such a large meteorite fell from the sky, but it only created a shallow pit on the ground, and the surrounding villages did not have much influence. No matter how you think about this method, only God can do it.
"Whether you are facing is an enemy or a friend depends on how you view it, not on the other party." Han Xin suddenly walked over from the side.
"I once said this to me, when I was the captain of the Imperial Empire." Zhongli couldn't help but recall the situation back then, the defeat of Chu State and the surrender of the Chu army. Looking back now, the method is like what happened yesterday.
"Oh, who told you?" Han Xin asked curiously.
"Duke Nan of Chu, the number one wise man in Chu, I was very confused about what he said at that time, but now I understand a little." Zhongli said.
"Duke Nanchu?" Han Xin's eyes narrowed involuntarily in advance. He had seen this person twice before and said something unknown to him.
Unlike Long Qi and Zhongli, the Chu nobles were born differently. Han Xin was born in a poor family in Chu. If he hadn't met his teacher back then, there would be no Han Xin, who was unparalleled in the world.
"It's so good. Senior Chu Nangong, I have said a few words to Shaoyu before." Fan Zeng told Fenghuo Linshan about the incident.
"Is it as fast as the wind?" Han Xin looked at Zhongli and muttered to Sun Tzu's Art of War.
Its speed is like the wind, invasion is like fire, and it is as fast as a mountain, and its stern as a forest is the essence of Sun Tzu's Art of War.
"It's a pity that General Long Qi suddenly disappeared, and I'm afraid he had an unexpected accident." Xiang Liang, who was on the side, suddenly sighed. As agreed, Long Qi should have met them in Dongjun, but after they arrived in Dongjun, there was no news about Long Qi.
It would be fine if Long Qi had an accident, but it was even more unfortunate that the tiger talisman of the Xiang clan disappeared, which made their plan to reorganize the Chu army further delay.
If the tiger talisman falls into the hands of the empire, it will be troublesome. Only recognizing the tiger talisman but not the human being is a condition that the army must abide by in this era.
"What happened to Long Qi." After hearing Xiang Liang's words, Zhongli asked immediately worriedly. Unlike Han Xin, a friend he met after the demise of Chu State, Long Qi had known him since he was a child.
The Long family and the Zhong family are both soldiers of the Tenglong Legion. The Long family is responsible for the cavalry of the Tenglong Legion, and the Zhong family is responsible for the bow and archery troops of the Tenglong Legion. The two are about the same age.
"Although the specific situation is not clear, he has not appeared yet, so it is probably a big disaster."
"Zhongli, the bow and arrow troops of the Tenglong Legion, are requesting to return." After thinking for a while, Zhongli, immediately knelt down in front of Fan Zeng and Xiang Liang on one knee.
"Okay, you are allowed to return to the team." Fan Zeng nodded happily. Fenghuo Linshan was what Mr. Chu Nan said. Although Long Qi's whereabouts are unknown now, Fan Zeng finally figured out the other three people after speculation during this period.
Long Qi, Ji Bu, Ying Bu and Zhongli Xu are Fenghuo Linshan, and these four are all soldiers of the Chu State.
"That's all, that's enough." While Fan Zeng pulled Zhongli away and assigned him a task, Han Xin was also conducting a secret transaction with Xiang Liang.
"Very good. If there is any important news next time, come to us, and the money will not be less than yours." After hearing Han Xin's information, Xiang Liang immediately took out a purse and handed it to Han Xin.
Regarding Han Xin, Fan Zeng and Xiang Liang knew much earlier than Zhang Liang. The reason why they pretended not to know Han Xin was that they didn't think much about Zhang Liang.
Although they are now in the same anti-Qin camp, their respective forces are different. After all, Zhang Liang is a Korean, and they are a Chu country.
It’s okay to say before the fall of the Great Qin Dynasty. No one could have predicted what the situation would be like after the fall of the Great Qin Dynasty. Maybe they would turn against each other.
Han Xin may not be famous in the Central Plains, but he still has some reputation in Chu. Free intelligence trafficking is what Han Xin is doing now. Whoever pays for the money will sell the information to whom. Although many people don’t understand where Han Xin knows so much information.
"I understand." After hearing Fan Zeng's order, Zhongli nodded immediately.
Although Zhongli has some feelings for the Qin Dynasty, he is a member of the Chu State and a member of the Tenglong Legion, and this cannot be erased.
The reason why Changpingjun betrayed the Qin Dynasty was because he was from Chu, which sounded ridiculous at first glance, but many people believed this reason and admired Changpingjun.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." In a luxurious courtyard, a majestic young general wearing black armor and a red cloak behind him, looking at the information he had just delivered, the wine bottle in his hand was crushed by him.
"Yes." The young general walked around the room irritably. After a long time, the young general finally stopped and took a deep breath. His expression changed from the irritability and anxiety just now to extremely determined.
"Come." As the young general said, a Qin army with black armor came in.
"General."
"I will order you to gather 5,000 armor-piercing soldiers in hundreds of battles, no, ten thousand, and a quarter of an hour to complete the assembly." The young general shouted loudly.
"Yes." The Qin soldier immediately went out to convey the order.
"Sorry, Your Highness, Prince." After the Qin soldiers conveyed the order, the young general immediately opened the map on one side, which was the terrain of the Daze Mountains.
The young general used the pen in his hand to draw and draw on the Daze Mountains. A quarter of an hour later, the young general finally put down the pen in his hand. At this time, there were five red lines on the map.
"General, the armor-piercing soldiers of hundreds of battles have been assembled." At this moment, the Qin soldiers who were sending the order came in to report.
"Very good." The young general picked up the sword placed on the side and walked out immediately.
As the young general walked to the school ground, the black soldiers of Daqin were standing still in the square. Every Daqin soldier here was wearing black armor, black helmets, black face armor, holding a large black shield in his left hand, holding a long black spear in his right hand, and several powerful crossbows were hung on both sides of his body.
The armor-piercing soldiers of hundreds of battles are actually heavy armor infantry. This is an army that can resist heavy armor cavalry, and an infantry unit that can resist Wei Wuzhu.
In the battle to destroy Wei, Wang Ben led the army because of this.
Speaking of the fact that when the Hundred Battles Armored Piercing Soldier was first established, it actually imitated the Wei Wuzhang.
However, the core of Wei Wuzhang is the disciples of the Pijiao Sect, which is difficult to do in the Qin Dynasty. Even in the Wei State, because the Pijiao Sect has always been weak, the number of Wei Wuzhang has never been large.
Although the Qin Dynasty did not wear armor, it was rich and could not reach the point of being invulnerable to swords and guns. Then it would use equipment to pile up, and then it formed the Qin Dynasty's unique armor-piercing soldiers.
Wang Jian's ability to win invincible battles has a lot to do with this army.
"General, what is the goal this time?" A black-armored soldier, who was no different from other soldiers, walked up to the young general and asked.
"Daze Mountain, rebels." The young general said directly.
"I understand." The marching of ten thousand people did not make any noise and noisy sounds. It is worthy of being the armor-piercing soldier trained by Wang Jian.
"Hmph." Looking at the quiet but orderly armor-piercing soldiers of hundreds of battles, the young general couldn't help but sneer. With such an army, what else should he be afraid of?
"Without the Montessori's Golden Fire Cavalry, I think who else can fight against my hundreds of battle armor-piercing soldiers."
