I created Qin Tianjian in modern times

Zhu Qingyang's words made the team members fall into deep thought, but they soon realized the correctness of Zhu Qingyang's words.

In other words, if the King of Qin himself sent Wang Jian to fight, he might win or lose, because the history that they are familiar with in later generations was ultimately formed entirely because of their appearance.

Therefore, they must ensure that everything happens in the same way as the history they are familiar with, otherwise the Qin King's unification of the six kingdoms may go wrong, which will directly affect the future of the entire China.

Therefore, Li Xin had to go to war and lead the army, and after a defeat, Wang Jian would take over, which was consistent with history and could ensure that the King of Qin would eventually become emperor and unify the world.

After understanding this, he sat down.

Until now, he couldn't believe that they were shouldering such a heavy responsibility.

That night, no one talked much and naturally had no intention of falling asleep.

……

At the same time, on Yunmeng Mountain, in the wooden house where Guiguzi stayed.

A figure knelt devoutly in front of Guiguzi.

This man was short and had an ordinary appearance, but there was a hint of wisdom in his eyes.

"The man of destiny has appeared. The time has come to help the King of Qin overcome the three disasters and five tribulations. The Qin will soon be the only one in the world."

Guiguzi spoke these words slowly, and the person kneeling in front of him immediately bowed and said:
"Respected teacher, what should students do?"

Guiguzi stroked his beard gently, squinted his eyes and said slowly:
"Once these people with destiny appear, the King of Qin will definitely become the emperor. But because of the appearance of these people with destiny, the King of Qin will become the emperor after experiencing three disasters and four tribulations, and the remaining tribulation will be difficult to complete. If this tribulation is not accomplished, the country will be unstable. The King of Qin is a man with a mission, so you need to see him off on this tribulation."

The kneeling man looked confused and was about to ask, but Guiguzi seemed to have seen through his thoughts and slowly said:

"The King of Qin has gone through three disasters and three tribulations since he was born, and there are still two tribulations left. Those people with destiny will bring one of the tribulations, and then with their help, the King of Qin will naturally annex the six kingdoms and unify the world. After that, you need to bring him the last tribulation so that he can complete his merits. However, the fate of the Great Qin Kingdom will not last long, so you don't need to stay with the King of Qin for long. After leaving him with the last tribulation, you can leave and live out your life in peace."

The kneeling man nodded slightly, then asked:
"Master, what exactly is this last difficulty?"

Guiguzi stroked his beard and sighed slowly:

"This last difficulty is the great obsession of man, which is called immortality."

……

This night was extremely long for the members of the 788th Exploration Team. They sat and sighed all night long.

Originally they just wanted to find the root of everything in order to reverse the destined outcome, but they didn't expect that somehow, they would become the ones who changed destiny.

At this time, the voice of Li Taishi came from outside the door, asking the team members to go to the main hall.

In the Qin State Hall, all the civil and military officials have gathered together. Standing in the front is the general Wang Jian. Wang Jian is a capable general under the King of Qin, with outstanding military exploits and made great contributions in the battle to annex the six kingdoms. The only one who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Wang Jian is Bai Qi, who was later called the God of Killing.

Led by Li Taishi, Zhu Qingyang and others walked into the hall. To the surprise of all the civil and military officials, the King of Qin actually stood up to greet them:

"Several immortals, please come forward."

Soon, someone brought a few straw stools and placed them on the steps, which were obviously the seats prepared by the King of Qin for a few people.

For a moment, all the civil and military officials in the court began to discuss the origins of these people. Anyone who could be valued so much by the King of Qin must be extraordinary.

"These people are the chosen ones of our Great Qin. They come to help our Great Qin unify the world." The majestic voice of the King of Qin sounded, and the hall suddenly became quiet.

"Today's meeting has specially invited the immortal to be present. I hope the immortal can give us some pointers."

The other team members were not very familiar with the etiquette of the Qin Dynasty, so Zhu Qingyang stepped forward and was the first to return the greeting to the King of Qin.

Then, the King of Qin looked at all the civil and military officials in the hall and said:

"The Chu State is now on the decline, it is time to send troops to fight. Where is Li Xin?"

Among the generals, a soldier in black armor stepped out and knelt down to salute:

"The end will be here."

"I order you to be the marshal of this expedition and lead the Qin soldiers to recapture the State of Chu."

When these words came out, Li Xin was stunned, and the entire court was also stunned. Especially Wang Jian, he could not stand it any longer, and hurried out to salute and said:
"King Qin, you need to think twice about this matter. Although Li Xin is brave, he is young and hot-tempered. We must not take such a war lightly."

Li Xin himself did not expect that he would be suddenly chosen by the King of Qin as the commander-in-chief. He certainly wanted this opportunity to make a contribution, but he just didn't understand why the King of Qin had previously advocated that Wang Jian be the commander-in-chief, but now suddenly changed his mind.

However, the King of Qin did not explain too much, but only told Wang Jian that he believed Li Xin was capable of fighting this battle.

Everyone was puzzled by the King of Qin's decision, but under the circumstances, they naturally did not dare to disobey the King of Qin, otherwise they might bring about death.

Therefore, Wang Jian sighed helplessly and returned to his position silently.

Next, the King of Qin announced some decisions that were beneficial to the Qin State, and the meeting gradually came to an end.

After leaving the hall, the officials were discussing why the King of Qin suddenly changed his mind and who was the so-called man of destiny who appeared in the hall?
At the same time, in the hall, Prince Qin talked with Zhu Qingyang again.

"Regarding this war, does the Immortal have any other opinions?"

Zhu Qingyang shook his head slightly without saying anything. He just took out a bamboo slip from his arms and handed it to the King of Qin.

"After this battle, the King of Qin will look at this bamboo slip. Before that, do not peek."

The King of Qin took the bamboo slips curiously, nodded, and put them away.

The team members looked at each other and knew that this was written by Zhu Qingyang last night. Although they didn't know what was written on the bamboo slips, Zhu Qingyang said that this would save their lives after the Battle of Chengfu.

The team members were worried about this all night last night. If the King of Qin really sent Li Xin to fight as Zhu Qingyang said, and they were defeated, wouldn't they be doomed? Although this was in line with the destined history, how could the King of Qin not blame them for this?

It was not until midnight that Zhu Qingyang suddenly had an idea. He picked up a brush and wrote a few words on the bamboo slips.

The team members were unsure, could these few words save their lives? But after all, they were comrades who had been through life and death together, so they finally chose to trust Zhu Qingyang.

Just now in the meeting hall, Zhu Qingyang seemed to have noticed something and had been looking for an opportunity to speak. Seeing that there was no one around, he finally turned to the King of Qin and asked:

"King Qin, who is the Prime Minister of Qin now?"

When the King of Qin heard this, he couldn't help but laugh:

"My prime minister is Li Si, a man of great wisdom.

Why, does the Immortal want to see the Prime Minister? "

Zhu Qingyang shook his head but thought secretly in his heart.

This prime minister was indeed Li Si, who was later used by Zhao Gao.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qingyang suddenly looked up and asked:

"King Qin, where is Zhao Gao now?"

When the King of Qin heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then frowned in confusion:
"Why did the immortal mention Zhao Gao? He was just my companion in study since childhood..." Upon hearing this, Zhu Qingyang immediately said:
"Then Zhao Gao is a distant relative of the Qin royal family. He became a eunuch only because his mother committed a crime, so Zhao Gao was implicated, right?"

King Qin nodded in surprise:
"That's right! I spared Zhao Gao's life and gave him an official position out of consideration for our old friendship.

Why did the immortal suddenly mention this person? "

Upon hearing this, Zhu Qingyang sighed with regret:
"My King of Qin, you must make good use of Zhao Gao.

If Zhao Gao can be used, unification of the country will be just around the corner."

The team members looked at each other and said nothing. They knew that Zhu Qingyang was trying his best to make everything in the present fit the history they knew.

As expected, the King of Qin was very surprised by this. He had never taken Zhao Gao seriously, let alone intended to use him.

But after hearing Zhu Qingyang's words, King Qin nodded thoughtfully.

In the mind of the King of Qin, Zhu Qingyang was undoubtedly the man of destiny, because Zhu Qingyang always acted like he knew everything.

Although the King of Qin was somewhat surprised, he attached great importance to Zhu Qingyang's words. After all, his lifelong obsession was to unify the world.

In the next few days, King Qin talked with Zhu Qingyang and others almost every day.

In his mind, he had already regarded these people as immortals who came to help Daqin.

Therefore, the King of Qin developed a strong interest in becoming an immortal.

He asked Zhu Qingyang many times, but Zhu Qingyang could only make up some excuses to get away with it.

What Zhu Qingyang didn't know was that after talking with them, the King of Qin immediately summoned Li Taishi.

He ordered the historian to study the method of becoming an immortal and explore the path to immortality.

The appearance of the 788 Exploration Team has changed many things. Since Zhu Qingyang's first conversation with the King of Qin, the sky has become increasingly gloomy, like a gathering thundercloud.

Whenever Zhu Qingyang proposed to change the King of Qin's mind and make a decision in line with history, thunder would always sound in the sky.

All of this was seen by Guiguzi on Yunmeng Mountain.

The short man always followed Guiguzi and humbly asked for advice.

On this day, when the sound of thunder was heard again in the sky, Guiguzi called the man into the house:

“The Qin State will surely fail in this expedition. This is a disaster sent by the man of destiny.

It seems that everything has been decided. You just need to practice quietly in Yunmeng Mountain. When the King of Qin becomes the emperor, it will be time for you to leave the mountain."

After hearing this, the man immediately knelt down respectfully and bowed deeply to Guiguzi:
"Student Xu Fu, I will obey the master's orders."

……

"Squeak..."

The heavy city gate slowly opened, and Li Xin led the army into battle, riding in the front on a tall horse.

A large number of Qin soldiers followed him, and many people inside and outside the city were watching from afar.

Everyone knew that the King of Qin was sending troops to attack the State of Chu. This long-planned battle was finally about to begin...

After Li Xin went on the expedition, the King of Qin kept a close eye on the developments of the war.

The good news from the front line made the King of Qin very happy.

He held banquets in the palace many times to entertain Zhu Qingyang and others, but they all politely declined.

The team members all knew that it would not be long before the King of Qin would learn of Li Xin's defeat.

That’s when they face real test.

Han Feng and others had also discussed this matter with Zhu Qingyang, but Zhu Qingyang always seemed calm.

This attitude confused the players, but under the current circumstances, they had no other choice.

After Li Xin took command of the expedition, all developments were consistent with the history known to later generations.

Li Xin's opponent was the State of Chu, which had an army of one million. This title was enough to demonstrate the military strength of the State of Chu.

Li Xin was naturally no ordinary person. He was a young and outstanding person selected by the ambitious Emperor Qin Shi Huang in order to train a successor and balance the forces.

King Qin's trust in Li Xin was not due to the appearance of the team members. King Qin had placed high hopes on Li Xin long before they arrived.

However, in this battle, if the team members had not intervened, the King of Qin might have chosen Wang Jian to fight.

After all, conquering the State of Chu was crucial to the unification of the six kingdoms and could not afford any mistakes. In addition, Li Xin was young and lacked the experience of Wang Jian.

But under Zhu Qingyang's arrangement, everything was consistent with history. Li Xin became the commander-in-chief of this battle and led 200,000 Qin troops to attack the State of Chu.

The King of Qin firmly believed that if Li Xin took action, he would surely win the battle.

On the one hand, this was the choice of the immortals and the destiny; on the other hand, Li Xin himself was powerful and had made great achievements in the battle against the State of Yan in the north. Relying on the high mobility of the cavalry, he pursued the King of Yan and the Prince of Yan, forcing them to offer Prince Dan's head, thus becoming famous.

The King of Qin felt that he had the best timing, location and people in this war and was sure to win. Therefore, he had been planning the next step of annexing Qi in the palace these days.

However, the King of Qin had high hopes for Li Xin, and Li Xin was also full of confidence. He led 200,000 Qin troops and was determined to establish immortal achievements.

But the Chu State was not without its own people. The veteran general Xiang Yan made the young general realize the cruelty of war.

The 200,000 Qin troops led by Li Xin and Meng Tian marched south. In view of the fact that the Qin-Chu border was mostly plains with no strategic locations to defend, Li Xin concluded that the Chu army would concentrate its forces and use the river terrain on both sides of the Ru River to block the Qin army.

Therefore, the 200,000 Qin troops were divided into two groups.

One group was led by Meng Tian, ​​who advanced along both banks of the Ru River and attacked the Chu army head-on; the other group was led by Li Xin himself, who passed through Wuyang, Pingyu, and Xincai south of the Ru River, bypassed the left wing of the Chu army, and joined forces with Meng Tian's army.

They launched a two-wing pincer attack, surrounded the Chu army and annihilated it.

Unfortunately, Li Xin was too young. He did not expect that the shrewd Xiang Yan did not act according to the Qin army's thinking.

The Qin army's expedition came up empty-handed on both sides of the Ru River, which made Li Xin puzzled.

But things had come to this point, and he could only continue to lead his troops south.

Under the leadership of Xiang Yan, the main force of the Chu army did not care about the gain or loss of a city or a place. Instead, they used their familiarity with the terrain and intelligence gathered from all directions to roam around the main force of the Qin army, waiting for the opportunity to defeat the enemy.

Finally, when Li Xin was least expecting it, the Chu army launched a general attack. The battle lasted for three days and three nights. When Li Xin overcame all difficulties and rushed to Chengfu...

The main force of the Chu army, which had been ready for action, had already broken into the Qin army camp and killed seven captains who were second only to the generals.

Li Xin could only lead the remaining troops to flee back to Qin with the help of Meng Tian. (End of this chapter)
