I am already immortal, why should I ascend to become an immortal?

Chapter 206: Lian Po, eating Bai Qi; the fish belly, finally opened, the soldiers

After pulling out the cork from the bottle, Jin Chan put it under his nose and sniffed it, and what he smelled was indeed a bloody smell.

"You can go out!"

Jin Chan waved his hand and hurriedly sent the guest away. After all, to unlock the secret of the black bamboo slips, he still needed the cooperation of the emperor's seal, and he didn't want to give Tang Qianyan an opportunity.

It might be that this guy got this bottle of blood just for the Emperor's Seal in his hand.

"You are judging me by your own standards, so I'll leave if I want to!"

This time, Tang Qianyan was surprisingly easy to talk to. He just flicked his sleeves and strode out of the tent.

"What are you doing, Xiaoyanzi? Why are you so sneaky? Come on, accompany us to burn incense for General Bai!"

Outside the tent, the grief-stricken Zi'an hugged Tang Qianyan, who was peeking into the tent with her butt sticking out.

"I won't go. I don't know him well!"

As Jin Chan expected, the target of this kid Tang Qianyan was indeed the Emperor's Seal.

But Zi'an is a carefree person and doesn't care about these things.

Coupled with Bai Qi's death in battle, the entire Qin army was shrouded in anger.

I saw him and Li Xin, one on the left and one on the right, holding Tang Qianyan's arms and dragging him away.

The so-called burning incense.

They used spears and halberds as incense bodies, wrapped them with a piece of rag and soaked them in kerosene. After they were lit, the Qin people, no matter where they were, would bow three times in the direction of Xianyang city.

This is a tradition passed down by the Qin army for many years.

Although Bai Qi said in the letter "Don't let the wailing disturb the people, and don't announce the funeral", Jin Chan did not choose to stop this behavior.

I heard the wailing of the swallows in front of the hall, like pigs being slaughtered, gradually fading away.

Jin Chan then took out Qingtan and slapped it hard, and Qingtan spat out the black emperor's seal.

According to what Tang Qianyan had said before, Jin Chan first slowly poured the blood in the bottle onto the black bamboo slips.

I saw the blood dripping onto the black bamboo slips at that moment.

The bamboo slip, which was originally only two fingers wide, slowly unfolded and turned into a thin bamboo cloth about two feet long and half a foot wide.

He picked up the emperor's seal and placed it directly on the center of the bamboo cloth.

Then, the black color faded away, and the bamboo cloth turned into emerald green with a slight yellowish color.

"The fish-belly sword, finally untied, says: Soldiers, use it with caution"

Jin Chan lowered his head and muttered to himself as he read the contents on the bamboo cloth.

But the more I read, the more I saw beads of sweat the size of beans dripping from Jin Chan's forehead to the ground, and his expression became more and more solemn.

huh~~~
After reading the last word, Jin Chan raised his head and let out a long sigh. Then he picked up the bamboo cloth and lit it on the candle.

"I wonder if Zhongyuan and I can afford this price?"

Shaking his head, Jin Chan touched the fish belly around his waist, then picked up a long spear, walked out of the tent, and headed towards the top floor of Hangu Pass.

"General!"

After arriving at the top floor, the guards around hurriedly bent down and greeted Jin Chan.

Each of them had a solemn expression and anger towards the enemy on their faces.

"Come on, let's send General Bai Qi off for the last time!"

Jin Chan tore off his robe and wrapped it around the long spear in his hand. He then soaked it in kerosene, lit it, faced the direction of Xianyang, and bowed three times.

And at this time under Hangu Pass.

Suddenly, clusters of flames lit up in the entire Qin army camp.

Countless square formations were in uniform formation, with the Black Water Dragon flag flying for hundreds of miles.

The horn sounded suddenly and the drums of war thundered.

Roar, roar, roar
In the silent night sky, millions of soldiers sang the Qin Army Song.

The valiant old Qin~, restore our land~
The blood will not stop until death~
In the west there is the Great Qin, rising like the sun.
Qin has a sharp warrior~, who can compete with him~
I will be your comrade in arms~
I will sharpen my spear and sword and share the same hatred with you~
How can you say you have no clothes?
How can you say you have no clothes?
I will go with you to raise an army with the King of Ze~
I will repair my spear and halberd and work with you~
How can you say you have no clothes?
How can you say you have no clothes?
That night, the Qin people's roar shook the mountains and rivers and could be heard three hundred miles away.

In the forest, all the beasts lie prone on the ground and flocks of birds swallow their tongues.

The originally gloomy sky was broken by the roar, revealing a full moon.

Later in the night.

Jin Chan sent the soldiers on the balcony away.

After pouring himself a pot of wine, he opened the letter that Bai Qi wrote to Ying Lou in the moonlight and candlelight.

[Your Majesty, please read this letter: I, Bai Qi, a guilty minister, hereby express my sincere apology.]

[When the previous king was alive, he knew that his health was declining and he might not be able to govern the country for long. In the court, Lü Buwei was in power for a while, and the Ying clan and the Longguan clan also had their own ulterior motives and were eyeing the throne. However, the Qin Dynasty could not do without these people, so he could only temporarily stabilize the government. ]

[The former king knew that after his death, the foundation of the Qin Dynasty would be in turmoil. ]

[The previous king had foresight and knew that I and Lord Changling were capable of one civil and one military, so the three of us discussed in secret and decided on a plan, one for the bright side and one for the dark side, to help the king revive his royal power and return to the orthodoxy in a few years.]

[Now, I, the minister, respectfully return the tiger talisman of the Bai family army to the king. This talisman is a token of the loyalty and bravery of the Bai family for generations, who vowed to defend the territory.]

[I hope that the king will carry on the long-cherished wish of the Qin kings of all generations, do not forget the teachings of the previous kings, live up to the expectations of the people, lead the Qin cavalry, sweep across the world, unify the Central Plains, usher in eternal peace, and achieve unprecedented great achievements.]

After seeing the letter, Jin Chan suddenly realized.

It turns out that what my father said before he died was that he left behind a trusted confidant in the court and one in the army. It turns out that the trusted confidant in the army is Bai Qi!
Even thirteen years ago, Bai Qi was willing to play a role of being demoted with the previous king, and thus hid in the dark and lived in the remote Wu'an for a long time.

The reason why Bai Qi has been making use of Jin Chan recently is entirely because Jin Chan is Ying Lou's confidant.

Jin Chan took out the tiger talisman from his arms, looked at it, and then drank the wine in the pot.

"General Bai, have a safe journey!"

Jin Chan once again faced Xianyang and bowed three times to bid farewell.

Early the next morning.

The news that Jin Chan temporarily took charge of the entire army spread throughout the military camp.

Unexpectedly, Shi Neiteng, Ying Dang and Ying Ji did not show any objection at all.

There were no rumors in the army.

Although the military god Bai Qi died in battle, the news that Jin Chan had severely injured the commander of the Chu army with a halberd a few days ago also spread among the Qin army.

The young general seriously injured Li Cunxiao, the main general of the Tang army, in the first battle. In the second battle, he killed Tian Gao, the main general of the Qi state. In the third battle, he seriously injured Xiang Yu, the main general of the Chu army and the grandson of Xiang Yan, one of the four famous generals in the Central Plains.

This kind of record is unprecedented in history.

The Qin people were warlike, and as Jin Cicada loomed, his reputation in the army surpassed that of many middle-aged generals such as Wang Jian, Bai Ma Cuo, and Ying Dang.

And the other side.

The main generals of the Three Kingdoms coalition were killed or wounded, and even the tower was split in two.

Lord Chang Ling almost couldn't suppress the restlessness of the generals from Chu, Tang and Qi.

but.

As the news came, the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms stopped talking and gathered together again.

I only heard that General Lian Po, one of the four famous generals in the Central Plains who killed Bai Qi, had left Zhao and joined Chu, and became the main general of the entire army of the Three Kingdoms.

After several days of training.

The armies of Chu, Tang, and Qi were stationed at Hangu Pass, determined to break through it.

Then, he entered Xianyang, exterminated the Qin clan, and killed the King of Qin.

Divide up the vast territory of Qin.

Hangu Pass.

Lian Po was seen riding a horse, with a few Chu soldiers pulling carts behind him, and they arrived at the gate.

"Qin people, quickly open the gate and kneel down to submit to us. Otherwise, on the day we open the gate, we will annihilate your race and slaughter all the millions of people in Xianyang City!"

Lian Po, sitting on horseback, roared to the sky, then used his spear to lift the white cloth on the cart.

"Father!"

Bai Macuo, who was on the balcony, started shouting after seeing what was happening below.

Two pairs of hands gripped the railing tightly, and their fingertips turned white from the force.

On the cart was Bai Qi's body.

Unlike before, this time Bai Qi's arms were broken and a section of his left leg was chopped off.

His body was covered with knife and sword wounds.

The gray robe had been dyed black by the coagulated blood.

"Open the door quickly, or I will skin that old bastard Bai Qi alive today!"

Say it.

Lian Po stabbed Bai Qi's chest with the tip of his spear, and then lifted him high into the sky.

It seemed as if he was afraid that the people upstairs couldn't see clearly.

"I'm going to kill him!"

Seeing his father being humiliated after his death, Bai Ma Cuo was the first to lose his mind, and his red eyes stared at Lian Po below.

Then he directly grasped the long knife and asked for orders from Jin Chan.

"General, please allow me to lead the troops out of the pass. I will definitely chop off the head of that old man Lian Po and take back my father's body!"

It was not just Bai Ma's fault. Everyone in the Qin army camp wanted to kill Lian Po and avenge General Bai.

"Can!"

"Bai Macuo and Li Xin, you two will lead a total of 100,000 troops to recover General Bai Lao's body. Mu Xuanzi and Tang Qianyan will go together. Remember not to fight too long. All actions must be led by General Li Xin. Everyone must obey military orders."

"Zi'an, quickly dispatch 50,000 archers to clear the way for the two generals on the Guanlou and suppress the reinforcements from the rear of the three kingdoms."

"Ying Dang, Ying Ji, the two of you will lead 150,000 soldiers and be on standby at any time!"

Bai Qi, the military god of the Qin State, had just died in battle when his corpse was carried up and humiliated by the generals of the enemy State.

If we just stay indoors and do nothing, the army's morale will be broken and low.

This war must be fought at all costs, even if the other side is deliberately provoking.

"promise!"

Except for Tang Qianyan, everyone else clasped their fists in response.

"Tang Qianyan, Mu Xuanzi, come here, I have something to tell you!" When the others left to prepare for the battle formation, Jin Chan stopped Tang Qianyan and Mu Xuanzi.

"Boss Jin, do you have anything to tell me?"

Different from Tangqianyan who has a sad face, Muxuanzi is becoming more and more like a soldier.

"Lian Po is one of the four famous generals after all, he must not be underestimated!"

"If Bai Macuo disobeys military orders, you two can use your power to subdue him and bring him back to Hangu Pass. Don't hesitate!"

This battle must be fought, but we cannot act blindly.

"promise!"

After Mu Xuanzi responded, he dragged Tang Qianyan towards the bottom of the Guan Tower.

Less than half an hour later.

I saw the side door of Hangu Pass slowly opening.

However, although it is a side door, it is much larger than an ordinary city gate.

"kill!"

Bai Ma Cuo charged in the front, followed by Li Xin, Tang Qianyan and Mu Xuanzi.

And the moment they rushed out.

Tens of thousands of arrows from the Guanlou were shot out at the same time, heading towards Lian Po's back.

“Haha, are you trying to stop the army from attacking Hangu Pass? You guys really underestimate me!”

Because of the "concave"-shaped terrain, most of the coalition forces of the Three Kingdoms were five miles away, and Lian Po only brought 30,000 personal soldiers with him.

However, each of the four famous generals of the Central Plains did not get their reputation in vain.

Lian Po waved his spear, and 30,000 personal soldiers followed him to charge towards the Qin army.

Thirty thousand against a hundred thousand, three times more troops, but there was no fear on Lian Po's face.

The brown Flying Tiger flag of the Chu State fluttered in the wind.

The two sides soon engaged in a battle.

Lian Po fought alone against the entire Qin army with ease, and each of his attacks was as powerful as a landslide.

For a moment, Li Xin and his four companions were suppressed and retreated step by step.

If it weren't for Tang Qianyan using strange tricks to disrupt Lian Po's rhythm, the Qin army would have been defeated and returned to the city long ago.

"General, General Bai and his men are no match for Lian Po. This battle should not last long!"

On the top floor of the Guan Tower, Schneiteng, who was watching the battle, said to Jin Chan.

"I understand, but the other party's purpose doesn't seem to be to attack the city!"

Jin Chan looked down and spoke lightly.

The climbing tower had been destroyed. If the coalition forces of the Three Kingdoms wanted to break through Hangu Pass, they had to suppress it with their entire army. Relying on twice as many troops, and with the help of battering rams, ladders, catapults, heavy crossbows, etc., they could destroy Hangu Pass step by step.

But if this were to happen, as Bai Qi said in his letter, the coalition forces of the three countries would lose more than 40% of their troops.

Even if they broke through the pass at that time, the Three Kingdoms would not be able to capture Xianyang City where the Meng family army was stationed.

"Could it be that Lian Po only wanted to humiliate our army?"

Schneider frowned in confusion, then turned and asked Jin Chan, who was only half his age.

"Loss of a general!"

Jin Chan spoke up.

Close downstairs.

Lian Po, who is famous for his strength.

Although he was fighting one against four, he became more and more courageous as the battle went on, and every move of his was deadly.

Less than half an hour.

Bai Macuo was careless and was stabbed in the left shoulder by Lian Po's spear.

If Mu Xuanzi hadn't used thunder magic to steer the sword to disturb the enemy, Bai Ma Cuo would probably have been cut in two by this blow.

"withdraw troops!"

Li Xin shouted loudly and made a decisive choice.

Lian Po, who has the same name as Bai Qi and Xiang Yan, is indeed worthy of his reputation. Not to mention the four of them, even if Shi Neiteng, Ying Dang and Ying Ji came together, they probably wouldn't be able to gain any advantage.

As Li Xin issued the order to retreat, the sound of gongs for retreat was also heard at Hangu Pass.

Although he was unwilling, Bai Macuo was no fool. He knew that he had no choice but to call off the battle now. If the fight continued like this, all four of them would probably die here.

"Want to run? How can I let you do as you wish?"

"Six hundred thousand soldiers, shattering mountains and rivers!"

Just as Jin Chan guessed, the reason why Lian Po used Bai Qi's corpse to humiliate the Qin army at Guan Pass was to kill the Qin general.

When two armies engage in battle, if the general dies, even the powerful Qin army will be defeated.

If the Qin army stays in seclusion, their morale will be weakened over time, and when the entire army of the Three Kingdoms breaks through the pass, the losses can be minimized.

Seeing Lian Po's attack that could kill four people, the other three people, except Tang Qianyan, all turned pale.

Fortunately, seven purple thunders appeared in time, allowing them to return to the pass smoothly.

"Little guy, you are worthy of being the commander appointed by old man Bai. You are quite capable!"

Lian Po stroked his beard with one hand, and looked up at the golden cicada above while sitting on horseback.

"Listen up, all the boys of Qin. From tonight on, I will eat three pounds of Bai Qi's meat every day, and drink Qin rice wine. If you don't open the gates and surrender, I will eat Bai Qi clean!"

The arrogant voice spread throughout Hangu Pass.

All the Qin people had red eyes and were shaking with anger. The god of war of the Great Qin had actually been reduced to food for others. This insult was simply life-threatening to the old Qin people.

"General, please let us go to the battle. General Bai can die on the battlefield, but he must not become Lian Po's meal!"

Ying Ji, Ying Dang, Shi Nei Teng, Zi An, including Bai Ma Cuo and Li Xin who had just returned, all knelt down and begged for orders.

Jin Chan looked at the few people without saying anything.

He also didn't expect that Lian Po would be so cruel in order to lure the Qin army out of the pass for a decisive battle.

"General! If General Bai is killed, the army will lose morale, and even the people may become unstable. Then, Zhao, Wei, and Han may take the opportunity to attack Qin!"

Schneiteng said sternly.

huh~~~
"Tonight, I will open and close the gates. I will go out of the city myself. You all will wait inside the gates!"

Jin Chan narrowed his eyes and spoke.

Lian Po's move undoubtedly defeated Jin Chan's strategy.

If he does not send troops, the morale of the army will be shaken, and the prestige he has just established in the army will no longer exist, and there will be no possibility of establishing his authority again in the future.

If the entire army goes out, the coalition forces of the three kingdoms have nearly three times the strength of Qin, and with Lian Po, one of the four famous generals of the Central Plains, in charge, the Qin army's chances of winning are less than 20%.

By then, Hangu Pass had been breached and Xianyang was in danger.

Now, unless someone can retrieve Bai Qi's body, this will be a dead end.

The sun is about to set.

Outside Hangu Pass.

Lian Po lit a huge bonfire and sat alone beside it.

"Someone, bring me some seasoning and rice wine. I'm hungry!"

The shout was so loud that it made the Qin army inside the pass angry but helpless.

"Old man Bai, old man Bai, when you killed 400,000 Zhao prisoners of war, did you ever think that one day you would end up in my stomach?"

Lian Po drew the scimitar from his waist and walked towards Bai Qi's body step by step.

And just as he raised his scimitar and was about to cut off Bai Qi's right leg.

Creep~Creak~
I saw that the gate of Hangu Pass opened a crack.

Jin Chan rode on a black horse, holding the belly of the fish in his hand, and walked towards the outside of the city with a clattering sound.

"Brother Jin, I'm taking action!"

On the other side of the gate, Yan was seen crouching in front of the hall, holding Zhao Guizhen's brass bell in his hand.

After saying this, he started shaking the brass bell in his hand.

All of a sudden.

Yellow sand, gravel and dead leaves formed a huge barrier, surrounding Jin Chan and Lian Po in the middle.

The rest of the people, whether the Qin army on the gate tower or the coalition forces of the three kingdoms outside the gate, could not see what was happening inside.

"Little thing, what do you want to do?"

Lian Po looked around and asked in confusion.

"Lian Po, I'll give you a chance. Leave General Bai's body behind and leave here!"

Jin Chan, sitting high above the horse, looked down from above, looking majestic in his black armor and red cloak.

And in that majestic tone, there was an arrogance that looked down on everything.

"Since when have you, a junior, been qualified to speak to me like this!"

Lian Po's eyes narrowed into a line, and a nameless anger surged in his heart.

Jin Chan's actions just now reminded him of the scene when he first fought against Bai Qi when he was young.

Bai Qi had this kind of arrogant attitude at that time, looking down on everyone and not taking himself seriously at all.

huh~~~
Jin Chan exhaled a breath, then picked up the fish belly with both hands, held it upside down, and pointed the tip of the sword at himself.

"Fish belly, finally opened, soldier!"
