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

Chapter 244: The Most Insidious Soldier in the Central Plains: Partridge Sky

Forcing Qin and Qi to negotiate peace?
"General, why don't I quite understand what you are saying?"

Upon hearing this, all the generals turned their heads to look.

"Do those wolves from Qin really think I know nothing? They have no intention of letting us Qi people go."

As the food and fodder supplied became less and less in the past few days, the two armies had exhausted their last breath.

Especially today, when Li Xin called Zhongli Mei away in front of him, Tian Dan realized belatedly that something was wrong.

"General, are you saying that Chu and Qin are colluding to kill us all?"

A general had sweat on his forehead and couldn't believe what Tian Dan said.

There were more than 1.6 million Qi soldiers. Even Bai Qi, who was once called a human butcher in the Central Plains, only killed a few hundred thousand Zhao soldiers.

Everyone's hair stood on end, as if they were blown by a cold wind, and a chill instantly came over them.

"Humph, Qin really thinks that there is no one in my Great Qi!"

Tian Dan snorted coldly, his facial features twisted in a ferocious manner.

"General, what should we do? The whole army is exhausted and there is no way out, whether inside or outside the pass! We can't escape!"

In the past few decades, the Qi army has rarely launched such a large-scale war, which has also led to most of the Qi generals being fools who can only talk about war on paper.

"Escape? Isn't this seeking death?"

"Didn't the Qin State want to exchange Lin, Le, Liang and Denglou for 800,000 Chu soldiers? I won't follow his wishes."

"The military strength of our Great Qi is twice that of their Chu State. As long as we kill Xiang Yu and control the Chu army, if Qin wants to continue the peace talks, let him come to our Great Qi to negotiate. It doesn't matter whether he climbs the tower or the city. As long as I don't release him, it will be useless even if the King of Chu agrees."

Tian Dan's eyes narrowed into a line, as if there was a poisonous snake in them ready to pounce at any moment.

"General, although Xiang Yu is young, he is very powerful..."

A middle-aged soldier standing nearby glanced at Tian Dan's broken right leg. Although he didn't say the second half of the sentence, everyone understood what he meant.

If Tian Dan had both legs intact at this time, he might have been able to fight.

But now, even if all the people in this room were added together, they probably would not be able to defeat Xiang Yu alone.

"Oh, if I wasn't sure, would I say such a thing?"

Tian Dan smiled coldly, pushed aside the rags beside him, and took out a box from it with his own hands.

The box is about seven feet three inches long, five feet wide, and five feet high, and is made of gold.

Moreover, from the effort Tian Dan put in carrying the things, it was not difficult to tell that the things inside seemed to be very heavy.

"General, what is this?"

"I didn't intend to use the gift the king gave me before I set out, but Qin and Chu pushed me too far, so don't blame me for being ruthless!"

After Tian Dan finished speaking viciously, he opened the jade box.

But who knew that there was another box inside the golden box.

One level after another, until Tian Dan opened the tenth box.

Then I found that there was only a small white jade bottle inside.

suck~
Call ~
After taking a long breath, Tian Dan held his breath, holding the bottle with both hands, as if he was touching a woman's skin, and picked it up slowly and carefully.

"As long as I have this thing, I can kill more than half of the 800,000 Chu troops, not to mention Xiang Yu!"

Tian Dan held the white jade bottle in his palm, let the people around him take a look, and then placed it steadily on the table.

"It is said that the Central Plains weapon in our king's hand can destroy an entire country. Could it be this thing?"

"Yes, this is the Central Plains' unique weapon of my Great Qi, but there is only a drop of it inside. The real unique weapon is still in the hands of the king."

Although it was just a drop, Tian Dan knew that it was enough to kill Xiang Yu.

Moreover, Zhongli Mei was in the Qin army camp, and in his eyes, Xiang Yu was just a brainless kid.

"Tomorrow, when the Qin's grain arrives, find someone to mix it into Xiang Yu's food. As soon as Xiang Yu dies, we will act immediately."

"But you must be careful and don't break the jade bottle, otherwise it will be all over."

While several people were discussing all this, what he didn't know was that Xiang Yu was outside the tent and heard everything that was said inside.

"Humph! You rats from Qi."

Xiang Yu was a straightforward and somewhat reckless person, but that didn't mean he was stupid.

After the riot today, Xiang Yu knew that if this continued, Qi would still steal food tomorrow. He wanted to inform Tian Dan to let his men behave themselves for a few days and negotiate peace with Qin once the King of Chu summoned him. But he didn't expect to hear this conversation by chance.

Although Xiang Yu was only in the Qi army camp with a few people at this time, there was no trace of panic on his face.

He raised the Overlord Spear in his hand high and chopped it down in front of him.

Just hear a roar.

Tian Dan's tent was cut in half.

"General Xiang!"

Seeing Xiang Yu standing not far away like a god of death, Tian Dan subconsciously felt a strong fear in his heart.

"Tian Dan, don't you want to poison me? I can give you a chance to try."

Picking up the silver Overlord spear with one hand, Xiang Yu swept across without even looking back, cutting off dozens of Qi soldiers attacking from behind.

Walk forward slowly step by step.

There was only the sound of leather shoes rubbing against armor and the tip of the gun dragging on the ground.

His pupils opened, as if he was wrathful from gods and Buddhas. His sword-like eyebrows stood upside down, and his long black hair moved without wind.

The few people who were just discussing how to poison Xiang Yu, after seeing me, were all frightened and wanted to escape.

But unfortunately, there is no place for them to escape inside Hangu Pass!

"Everyone, please take action. As long as we let this drop of Zhongyuan Juebing stick to his skin and hair, we will be able to poison this little brat to death."

Looking at Xiang Yu's posture, Tian Dan knew that there was no room for easing the tension between the two sides.

So he immediately uncorked the bottle, took the jade bottle in his hand, and gave an order to the person next to him.

But the words just fell.

The silver Overlord spear had pierced the jade bottle in Tian Dan's hand and also pierced his left rib.

"It's over. It's all over!"

Tian Dan's face turned extremely pale, his bloody lips opened and closed in fear, and his whole body was shaking.

But what scared him was not Xiang Yu, but the broken jade bottle!

As the jade bottle shattered, a drop of green liquid the size of a fingernail was seen, half of which dripped onto Tian Dan's hand and the other half onto the ground.

All of a sudden.

Tian Dan's body was covered with dense, thick white blisters.

Pain, itching, and numbness, this torment that penetrated deep into his bones made Tian Dan roll back and forth on the ground, tearing his face, and shouting: "Kill me, kill me, it's itchy, it hurts, kill me, quick"

These flesh blisters burst at the slightest touch, and the thick paste inside soaked Tian Dan's entire body. The foul stench they emitted was even more disgusting than that of a corpse that had been exposed to the sun on the battlefield for three days.

Just a few seconds later.

Tian Dan turned into a pool of rotten meat with a milky white paste oozing out of it. Even his bones and armor were half melted.

But it's not over yet.

With Tian Dan as the center, wisps of green smoke were seen rising from the ground, and the smoke was blown in all directions by the wind.

The Qi army nearby felt unbearable itching after inhaling just a wisp of it. Their body temperatures quickly soared and their bodies turned red as if they had been boiled in boiling water.

Even the heart seemed to be about to jump out of the body.

Tiny pustules popped up one by one on the face, limbs, and chest.

The most terrifying thing is its speed of transmission. Soldiers who have not inhaled the green gas will be quickly infected if they accidentally touch an infected companion.

Although they are not as dangerous as Tian Dan, it seems they won't be able to hold out for more than a few days.

"withdraw!"

Xiang Yu frowned and instantly raised the morale of his troops to the extreme.

He stabbed out with his spear, using the wind pressure to blow away the poisonous gas around him, and then he led his men and ran quickly towards the gate tower of Hangu Pass, trying to use the advantage of the high building to avoid this insidious thing.

"Use fire to build a wall to separate the Qi army from our army. The archers will retreat fifty meters away. If the Qi army dares to jump over the fire wall, they will be shot to death with arrows."

Outside the pass, the Qin army camp.

Jin Chan was just about to fall asleep and was planning to ask Ying Lou to explain some things.

Li Xin and his companions rushed in without even notifying anyone.

"Boss, something seems to have happened inside the pass!"

"Something happened?"

Jin Chan quickly stood up and walked out with a few people.

At this time, there were raging flames inside the pass and constant shouting, and the flames rising into the sky made the sky extremely red.

"A fight broke out so soon?"

Jin Chan frowned and thought for a moment, then felt that something was wrong.

Even if Qi and Chu started fighting over food and supplies, it would not have caused such a big commotion.

"General, look!" Li Xin pointed to the distance and found many people wearing Qi clothes stumbling out from the pass.

"All troops on alert, no one can be let go!"

Jin Chan didn't understand.

Tian Dan should be aware that there is no way out of the pass and there is only one way to die. If the people of Qi want to survive, they have no choice but to coerce the Chu army and use it as a bargaining chip for peace talks.

"Brother Jin, something is wrong. This seems to be..."

Smelling a slight stench carried by the wind and listening to the crying and shouting of the Qi army in the distance, Tang Qianyan was the first to realize that something seemed to be wrong.

"Brother Yan Zi, what happened?"

Seeing Yan in front of the hall, he changed his usual playful expression and became serious unusually.

Li Xin asked quickly.

"This seems to be, like, Partridge Sky!"

"Partridge Sky?"

"This is the most sinister weapon among all the weapons in the Central Plains, and it is extremely poisonous!"

Unlike other Central Plains special forces, the Former Yan Army has never used it.

One reason is that this thing is uncontrollable. If it leaks and spreads, large areas of the Central Plains will become death zones.

The second reason is that this thing came from one of the Nine Heavenly Palaces.

"Build a fire wall, have archers guard it day and night, and shoot anyone who steps out!"

Like Xiang Yu, Jin Chan made the same decisive decision.

that's it.

Fires were burning inside and outside Hangu Pass.

Some Qi people who couldn't bear it any longer cried and shouted, stepping on the pile of dead bodies and managed to cross the wall of fire by chance, but they were still pierced through the head by flying arrows.

After one night.

The flames gradually died down, leaving only charred corpses and unknown debris all over the ground.

Inside the pass at this time.

In just one night, the death toll in Qi State reached 200,000, and more than 300,000 people were seriously ill and in coma.

Although the lives of the rest of the people were safe, they all had some problems.

With the death of Tian Dan and other Qi generals, the entire Qi army was shrouded in fear, and everyone was in danger.

They sat on the ground with their mouths and noses covered with coarse cloth. Even the despair had disappeared from their eyes. They waited for the fate of life and death like a pool of stagnant water.

Compared with Qi, if someone in Chu was unfortunately infected, they would be shot to death with arrows by archers in the distance, and then doused with kerosene and burned.

the next day.

Jin Chan still ordered his men to throw the food and fodder a hundred meters outside the pass.

The death toll of the Qi army continued to increase, including some who died of starvation, some who died of disease, and some who died of violence.

More than one million Qi people were like zombies, wandering aimlessly, begging for food outside the pass even under a hail of arrows.

Day three.

Maybe it’s because there’s only one drop of Partridge Sky.

The death toll gradually began to decrease and the spread slowly stopped.

The surviving Qi people had no leader, and out of hunger they began to steal food from the Chu people.

There was also a large-scale armed fight between the two sides, resulting in heavy casualties.

At this time, Xiang Yu also wanted to seek peace, but the Qin army temporarily refused to meet him, citing the reason of Partridge Sky.

Fourth day.

The hungry began to eat carrion or to turn their attention to their colleagues.

The entire Hangu Pass became like the Boneless County in the southern wilderness.

Day .

"Send 300,000 tons of grain and fodder to Qi and Chu respectively."

After Jin Chan gave orders to the people in the baggage camp, he asked Li Xin to call Zhongli Mei.

In the past few days, Zhongli Mei asked to see Jin Chan no less than fifty times, but was rejected every time with the same reason.

"Boss, what are you going to do?"

After a few days, even Zi'an, who was used to seeing dead people, felt a little uncomfortable with what was happening inside the pass.

However, he also knew that if these people survived, they would meet the Qin State on the battlefield in the future.

"It's the last meal, let them eat!"

Jin Chan exhaled and said lightly.

At this time, Zhongli Mei also ran over in a hurry, and he spoke directly as soon as he saw Jin Chan.

"General Jin, you can rest assured about Qi. After today, there will be no possibility of an alliance between Qi and Chu."

Zhongli Mei has finally figured things out these past few days. If he continues like this, the Chu army inside the pass may not be able to be saved.

"This is your King of Chu's summons. Take it back to Xiang Yu. As for what to do next, you should know."

"By the way, the mass graves in the back should not be wasted now that they have been dug."

After taking the King of Chu's summons from his arms, Jin Chan threw it directly to Zhongli Mei who was kneeling on one knee on the ground.

"I know!"

After taking over the King, Zhongli Mei set off immediately without wasting even a moment.

After returning to the interior.

Zhongli Mei then handed Wang Zhao over to Xiang Yu.

"Since the king has agreed to Qin's peace terms, let the entire army prepare to retreat!"

"Send someone to tell Qi about this!"

Xiang Yu sighed.

Since Wang Zhao has been sent, it means that the Three Kingdoms' attack on Qin was a complete failure.

"General, I'm afraid we can't withdraw our troops yet?"

Zhongli Mei glanced at the Qi army guarding the lower floor, then spoke.

"Why? Are the Qin people going to go back on their word?"

Xiang Yu was furious. He didn't expect Jin Chan to go back on his word.

"It's not a regret. From the very beginning, Jin Chan's goal was for us to kill these one million Qi soldiers with our own hands."
