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

Chapter 209: Lü Buwei has taken the bait; Zi'an scolds Lian Po in front of his army
Ying Lou said this.

Not only Lu Buwei was stunned, even Li Si, who was always calm, turned his head and looked over in disbelief.

If Lü Buwei, who already holds great power in the court and has countless retainers, were to gain control of the military power, then the Qin Dynasty would probably really be in danger of losing its leader.

Tian of Qi replaced Jiang. Could it be that they were going to repeat the same mistake on the territory of Qin?
Li Si looked at the smiling Ying Lou and was puzzled as to what the King of Qin meant.

"Are you joking, Your Majesty?"

Lu Buwei's throat moved slightly, and the bloodstone beads in his hand also stopped.

at this time.

The entire tent was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Apart from the slightly swaying light and shadow cast by the candlesticks, the only sound was the whistling wind outside.

"Of course. As the King of Qin, how could I joke like the Prime Minister?"

"Now the armies of the Three Kingdoms are at Hangu Pass. Although this is not the first time, the scale of this nationwide effort, coupled with the presence of two of the Central Plains' four great generals and the most powerful soldiers, means that the Qin State is already in a state of crisis. If things go wrong, the whole country may attack the Qin State. This is the time when the Prime Minister needs to take action!"

Ying Lou sat on the chair, supporting his cheek with the back of his left hand. Although he lightly mocked Lu Buwei, his words were extremely serious.

"Your Majesty, I will obey your orders!"

"But, Your Majesty, have you given me full authority to command the battle at Hangu Pass?"

After a moment's silence, Lu Buwei crushed the beads in his hand, stroked his beard and asked.

Although he didn't know what Ying Lou's intention was, he didn't know whether there was a conspiracy waiting for him ahead.

But this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and Lu Buwei has been waiting for these words since Ying Chu came to power.

Now that I have waited for it, there is no reason to think too much about it.

No matter what lies ahead, he has to deal with it.

"General Jin is young and can only lead the army temporarily. Once the Prime Minister arrives at Hangu Pass, he will be in full command. No matter what means the Prime Minister uses, as long as the troops withdraw from Chu, Tang, and Qi, it will be fine!"

Ying Lou spoke very seriously, as if he was entrusting someone to a close and trusted minister.

At the current marching speed, Ying Lou and his caravan and 200,000 horses will be able to reach Hangu Pass in about half a month.

But Lu was not worried about the old fox, so early the next morning he took Wang Zhao and some of his trusted men, said goodbye to Ying Lou, and rode at full speed to Hangu Pass.

the other side.

Perhaps because it was the first time he had eaten a fish, Jin Chan slept for a whole day and night.

"Xin, is that old Lian Po still challenging us?"

Rubbing his aching temple, Jin Chan supported himself on the bed with one hand and sat up half of his body.

After the final solution, although there was nothing wrong with my body, I still felt a little tired.

Even after sleeping for a day and a night, I still didn't fully recover.

"It has been barking for a whole day and night, and it is still barking now. That old thing is really like a wild dog. He led his men to bark all day long. I don't know which blind thing made him one of the four famous generals in the Central Plains."

"But the old man seems to be afraid of the general, and has retreated outside the valley this time."

Because Hangu Pass is in the shape of an "A" character, retreating outside the valley would allow the army in the rear to provide timely support.

It seems that the battle last night did make Lian Po a little fearful.

Zi'an, who was standing aside, started cursing.

But despite the scolding, everyone present, except Mu Xuanzi, knew very well that none of the four famous generals of the Central Plains had earned their reputation in vain.

Gathering the morale of millions of soldiers is the basic requirement, and one must also have a record of battles that is famous throughout the Central Plains.

For example, Bai Qi fought in more than 70 battles of varying sizes in his life and never lost a single one. In one battle, he killed 400,000 Zhao prisoners of war and was called the Human Butcher. He was ranked first among the four famous generals in the Central Plains.

As for Lian Po, although he valued his life like gold and was suspicious by nature, he was ranked second among the four famous generals and had extraordinary skills. Except for the three defeats to Bai Qi, he won all the other battles.

"Send 50,000 archers to shoot arrows from the towers. As long as Lian Po is within range, don't stop. Add kerosene to it at night!"

Jin Chan covered his chin and said after thinking for a moment.

"General, this is not appropriate. The distance is too far. I'm afraid that 50% of the arrows will not reach the enemy."

Li Xin didn't understand why Jin Chan did this.

"Just follow my orders. By the way, from now on, the food for the entire army will be based on the highest pre-war standards, and we'll add some meat to the meals!"

After listening to Jin Chan's words.

The people in the tent looked at each other, completely confused as to what this meant.

However, after Bai Qi's death, Jin Chan became the commander-in-chief of the entire army, and all they had to do was obey any decision.

Besides, these people have unconditional trust in Jin Chan.

Even if Jin Chan asked them to come out and chop off Lian Po's head now, they would not frown.

"By the way, you three can go out of seclusion for me and meet that old man Lian Po. By the way, you can also invite Bai Ma Cuo to come along!"

Jin Chan spoke without any warning.

"What? The three of us are going to meet Lian Po?"

Li Xin, Zi'an and Mu Xuanzi all looked stunned, pursed their lips subconsciously, and swallowed their saliva in unison.

"Doesn't this old guy like to challenge others? You can use him as a training ground. This opportunity is rare and will definitely be helpful for your growth!"

Using Lian Po, the second of the four famous generals in the Central Plains, to practice?

The three of you looked at me, I looked at you, and then all looked at Jin Chan.

I don’t know if I heard it wrong or Jin Chan was crazy.

"Boss, aren't you afraid that we might never come back?"

Under the fiery gazes of Zi'an and Mu Xuanzi, Li Xin, who had followed Jin Chan the longest, asked.

"Don't worry, I will personally come out and take charge. Besides, you can just practice with him. If you can't beat him, just run away. I won't really ask you to chop off that old man's head!"

Everyone was ashamed when they heard this.

Cutting off Lian Po's head, this is getting more and more outrageous.

However, Jin Chan had said so much, and as a military general, who doesn't want to be famous throughout the world? Li Xin and Zi'an actually began to get excited unconsciously.

Fighting against the four famous generals of the Central Plains is indeed a rare opportunity as Jin Chan said.

Half an hour later.

Suddenly, clusters of torches lit up at Hangu Pass.

The light below the pass was as bright as day.

A creak.

The door opens.

Li Xin, Zi'an, Mu Xuanzi, and Bai Macuo, four people, each riding a horse, came out from inside with a clattering sound.

The golden cicada followed closely behind.

However, he did not ride a horse. After walking a few dozen meters out of the pass, he asked the soldiers below to bring tables and chairs, as well as a pot of tea and a midnight snack.

"The four of you should attack together first. General Bai Macuo, please stay calm and don't act rashly!"

After all, the murderer of his father was right in front of him, and Jin Chan was really worried that Bai Ma would go to his head.

However, Li Xin and the other two are too young, and without a mature veteran to lead them, they might be in danger.

"General, please rest assured. I have fought on the battlefield for more than 20 years, so I know what is important and what is not."

Hearing this, Jin Chan first smiled, then threw four black pills to the four people.

"It's for life-saving. If you feel exhausted or seriously injured, just swallow it."

It was the same pill that was prepared for the Dark Camp in Chang'an City. After all, the opponents were the four famous generals of the Central Plains, so Jin Chan did not dare to be careless.

"Thank you very much, Boss!"

After saying that, they walked forward a few hundred meters, but did not leave Jin Chan too far.

"Zi'an, it's up to you from now on!"

As they were enemies with Lian Po, the four men did not dare to be careless and did not even plan to get too close to the enemy camp.

So the only way is to lure him over.

However, Li Xin is not good at challenging and cursing people, and the Taoist Mu Xuanzi is not good at it either. Although Bai Macuo has been in the army for more than 20 years, he has always been in charge of this matter by his subordinates, and his eloquence is not very good either.

"Don't worry, brothers, just leave this to me!"

suck~
Zi'an took a long breath, then opened his throat and yelled in the direction of Lian Po.

"Old man opposite, do you dare to tell me your name? In the past, I heard that you were famous in the Central Plains, but in our eyes, you are just a good-for-nothing who relies on your seniority. I wonder if you can still make a living now? Do you dare to come over here alone and let us see whether you are stubborn or the long sword in my hand is sharper?"

In the empty valley, Zi'an's voice echoed endlessly.

This shout not only confused the Qin army at Hangu Pass.

Even the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms and Lian Po himself who were not far away were stunned.

"Are these guys challenging me?"

Lian Po put down the leg of lamb in his hand and asked the adjutant beside him with surprise.

"General, it seems, it seems, it may be like this!"

The adjutant wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied cautiously.

Who in the world does not know the reputation of Lian Po?

There were people who dared to volunteer, but that was more than 30 years ago, and except for Bai Qi and Xiang Yan, almost no one survived.

"That dying old dog over there, are you too old and your ears are not working well, so you can't hear what I'm saying? Or are you afraid to fight?"

"If you don't dare, come and kowtow to me. Maybe if I'm happy, I can spare your life."

"But if you really dare to fight me, I will let you see what true youth and strength mean, and what it means to punch you back into your mother's womb and be reborn again!"

It seems that Zi'an is addicted to cursing. From the beginning, he called himself "general" and then "young master" at the end. It was like a slap in Lian Po's face.

"You little bastard, you don't know how to live or die. You've pissed me off!"

Lian Po's eyes were wide open, his muscles were bulging, and the leg of lamb in his hand was stepped directly under his feet.

Now that he is nearly 70 years old, even the kings of Zhao in all his life have to treat him with respect.

When did a kid get so presumptuous? "Give me my gun, I will kill this little bastard today!"

In Lian Po's eyes, these guys were obviously trying to provoke him.

However, Lian Po was not worried, as it would not matter even if there was an ambush ahead.

After all, in the face of absolute strength, any strategy is like grains of sand in the air and is nothing to be afraid of.

Moreover, the purpose of this challenge was to kill the Qin generals.

So there is no reason not to fight.

"Old bastard, my brother's sword has been thirsty for a long time. Come here and give me your head, otherwise I will go there myself!"

Zi'an was so engrossed in cursing that he didn't even notice that Lian Po had already mounted his horse.

"Brother Zi'an, stop cursing, that old man is coming to kill us!"

Bai Macuo next to him drew out his long sword and stared straight ahead, his expression gradually becoming serious.

"Oh my god, he's really here! Guys, remember to protect me later, this old guy probably wants to chop my heart into pieces!"

You can scold me or beat me.

Seeing Lian Po's burly figure like a mountain rushing towards this side.

Zi'an was really a little panicked.

"rest assured!"

The four of them quickly separated, using Zi'an as bait to lure Lian Po deeper, while the others flanked on both sides of the left rear, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

"Broken mountains and rivers!"

When the men were still dozens of meters away, Lian Po directly gathered the energy of 600,000 soldiers and stabbed towards Zi'an's stinky mouth.

"Damn it, is this old man so petty?"

Zi'an, who could only condense the energy of 300,000 soldiers at most, could only hold his long sword in front of him and use all his strength to block.

Even though Bai Macuo, Li Xin and Mu Xuanzi used their weapons to neutralize 40% of the force of this attack.

But Zi'an was still knocked dozens of meters away by this move and fell directly at Jin Chan's feet.

His internal organs were ruptured, his ribs were broken, and he was bleeding profusely.

With just one strike, Zi'an was close to death.

Seeing this, Jin Chan quickly squatted down, took out a pill from his arms and stuffed it directly into Zi'an's mouth, then held his jaw to help him chew and swallow.

huh~~~
"This old man is really cruel. I just scolded him a few words. Is it necessary to get so angry?"

After his injuries healed, Zi'an stood up immediately.

While looking at his body in disbelief, he cursed Lian Po.

"Boss, your magic medicine is really effective. Do you have any more?"

Zi'an picked up the long knife and asked Jin Chan.

With this panacea, we can even kill that villain Lian Po by exhausting him.

"Yes, but there aren't many!"

Although this pill costs almost nothing to make, Jin Chan doesn't want several people to become dependent on it and relax their vigilance and exchange their lives for others'.

"Pity!"

After saying this, Zi'an mounted his horse again and charged towards Lian Po.

When Lian Po saw Zi'an coming back unharmed, he frowned.

The attack just now was made with real intention, and was done with the intention of killing the opponent with one blow.

"Could it be that the younger generation of Qin State is already so powerful?"

Lian Po was a suspicious person by nature. After looking at Jin Chan drinking tea and eating meat in the distance, he couldn't help but have doubts in his mind.

This battle lasted less than half an incense stick of time.

The four were seriously injured, but after swallowing the pills, they immediately became full of energy again.

Just when Lian Po was about to take real action and chop off the heads of several people.

Bai Macuo gave the order to retreat.

"Want to leave? It's not that easy!"

"Nine hundred thousand soldiers, slaughtering the country!"

Just as Lian Po roared and was about to swing his spear again, seven purple lightning bolts fell from the sky and blocked his way.

Jin Chan held the fish belly in his hand and stared at Lian Po from a distance without moving.

And it was this moment of distraction.

Li Xin and his men had already retreated to Jin Chan's side.

The sky was filled with arrows burning with flames, and they were shot at the allied forces of the Three Kingdoms coming from behind.

"Old dog, I'm tired and I'm going to go back to sleep. I'll keep your head for now and I'll come back to get it tomorrow!"

The moment they retreated back to the city gate, Zi'an, the chatterbox, did not forget to make further mockery.

"close the door!"

Watching Jin Chan's leisurely back to Hangu Pass.

Lian Po was furious, but he was afraid that the Fish Belly Sword would eventually be unleashed, so he did not dare to pursue the victory.

Return to the interior.

Jin Chan gave each person four pills, and then said, "If nothing unexpected happens, Lian Po will begin to attack the city tomorrow. Everyone should be prepared to defend the city."

"From tomorrow on, archers, do not stop until the enemy retreats."

Didn’t Lian Po want to destroy the morale of the Qin army and capture Hangu Pass in one fell swoop?
Tonight, although the four generals of the Qin army were defeated by Lian Po's spear, the morale of the entire army did not decline at all.

On the contrary, it has increased a lot.

After all, fighting against the four famous generals of the Central Plains is not something that ordinary people can do.

"Pull those two little bastards Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao off their beds for me!"

"Have the siege battalion bring all the battering rams, ladders, and catapults to the front line, and have them take turns to charge the pass starting tomorrow."

Lian Po shouted loudly when he returned to the camp.

I have been in the army for decades, but I have never felt so depressed.

He originally wanted to slowly deplete the morale of the Qin army by "losing generals" and then capture Hangu Pass in one fell swoop.

But now it seems that Bai Qi's body was taken back by the younger generation, and then Zi'an's shouting and cursing spread throughout the three armies.

If this continues, not to mention destroying the other side's morale.

I'm afraid the Three Kingdoms Alliance will have to be exhausted first.

Lian Po was reluctant to be appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Three Kingdoms' campaign against Qin. He could kill the enemy, but he absolutely could not fight to the death.

He originally thought that after Bai Qi's death, no one in the Qin army would be able to fight against him.

But he didn't expect that an unknown little devil could hurt himself with just a fish-belly sword.

The power of the Central Plains' elite troops made Lian Po dare not be careless.

Early the next morning.

It was just as Jin Chan expected.

As soon as the sun rose above the sky, the battering rams, catapults, and ladders of the Three Kingdoms' allied forces attacked Hangu Pass one after another.

Then the shield soldiers came to suppress the enemy and help the army in the rear to withstand the arrows and falling rocks shot from Hangu Pass.

After several attempts to break through the pass, a corner of the gate of Hangu Pass was damaged.

But the allied forces of Chu, Tang and Qi also suffered casualties.

"retreat!"

A day later, as the sun was setting, Lian Po finally ordered his troops to retreat.

Stopped today's breakthrough.

midnight.

"Lu Buwei has finally reached this point!"

Jin Chan stood on the gate tower, overlooking the camp of the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces in the distance, and spoke.
