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

Chapter 311: Chu is destroyed; Wei's capital Daliang is massacred
During these two years.

South.

The capital of Chu, Yingcheng, had been captured by Wang Jian's army.

General Dou Yujiang, a contemporary of Bai Qi, Lian Po and Xiang Yan, died on the battlefield three months ago because he would rather die than surrender.

He was killed by Wang Jian and Li Xin.

However, Wang Jian ordered his men to keep his body intact, sew up his head, cover it with yellow cloth, put it in a sandalwood coffin, and send envoys to send it back to Yingcheng for burial.

When the Qin army arrived at the city, King Xiong Qi of Chu opened the door and welcomed them into the Zhanghua Palace. He knelt on his knees, held up the map and household register of Chu, and submitted to the Qin.

He was then treated with courtesy and sent to Xianyang, the capital of Qin State.

At this point, the second most powerful country in the Central Plains, Chu, was destroyed.

after that.

After resting in Yingcheng for more than three months, Wang Jian led his army and began to march towards the direction of Tang State to the west of Chu State.

After arriving at the border city of Chu and stationed there.

Wang Jian, together with Wang Ben, Li Xin, Zi'an and Ying Ji, returned to Xianyang to accept the reward from King Ying Lou of Qin.

North.

Slightly different.

Two years ago.

After Meng Wu met up with Bai Macuo, they marched towards Daliang.

Although at the beginning, the King of Wei sent people to meet the enemy.

But they were all guerrillas, not to mention the Wei Wu soldiers, not even the shadow of ordinary elite troops could be seen.

But these people were no match for the Qin army.

However, as he went deeper into the heart of Wei State, Bai Macuo felt something was wrong.

Along the way.

Although the generals and soldiers sent by the King of Wei did not look like they were ready to surrender, their strength was far inferior to that of theirs.

Even Meng Wu no longer had the idea of ​​leading his troops to meet the enemy himself.

"Brother Meng, I think something is wrong!"

When they were only a hundred miles away from the Wei capital of Daliang, Bai Macuo, riding on his horse, spoke to Meng Wu, who was the same age as him.

"The State of Wei is small to begin with, so this kind of strength is not surprising. At this rate, it will probably take less than ten days to capture Daliang and capture the King of Wei alive. No, less than five days."

Looking at Meng Wu's confident and disdainful look.

As a person, he just happened to have a white horse at Naqia's place, so he didn't dare to say a word. On that day in the valley, his 370,000-strong Meng family army was almost wiped out.

However, Bai Ma didn't mention it, and Meng Tian didn't intend to keep it to himself.

"Dad, in the last battle in the valley, I think the strength of the Wei Kingdom is not just that. Not to mention the strength of the Wei Wuzu, which is slightly better than our elite Meng family army, just the guy Xinlingjun, in my opinion, his strength is not much worse than Li Mu, and may be comparable to dad and General Wang Jian."

Meng Tian originally wanted to say that Prince Wu Ji of Xinling might be slightly stronger than Wang Jian and Meng Wu.

But after thinking about it, he realized that he knew his father well, so he changed his words.

"Reach Daliang in three days. If you fail to get the credit for being the first to reach the summit, you will be punished with 200 sticks!"

Meng Wu glared at his own son and said sternly.

"General Meng Tian, ​​what kind of person is Lord Xinling?"

The calm Bai Macuo interrupted and asked.

It is rumored in the Central Plains that Xinling Jun is an upright and incorruptible person, and is an outstanding person in terms of ability, knowledge and character.

Moreover, as a member of the royal family, Xinling Jun missed the throne of Wei because he had little national luck and his mother was a maid.

But even so, Xinling Jun never had any evil intention of rebellion, but instead concentrated on assisting the cowardly and incompetent King Wei.

"His mind is as deep as the bottom of the North Sea, and his methods are as vicious as the sharp-fanged black viper. This person cannot be used, cannot be trusted, and can only be killed!"

Meng Tian blurted out the answer without even thinking about it.

However, these words aroused Bai Macuo's curiosity.

"By the way, those words just now were said by Brother Jin, not me!"

Meng Tian could see through Bai Macuo's doubts at a glance, so he simply spoke them out before the other party opened his mouth.

"Then may I ask General Meng Tian, ​​do you think there is something strange about these recent events?"

"Eliminate dissidents and seize power, or... depose the emperor and usurp the throne!"

Meng Tian paused and said lightly.

And this sentence gets to the heart of the matter.

These days, there are quite a few Wei troops coming, estimated to be more than 300,000.

Moreover, the main generals of the Wei army were all members of the royal family and held high positions in the Wei court. They were all powerful but incompetent boasters.

"Humph, if you rebel now, even if Lord Xinling ascends the throne, it will not change the fate of Wei being crushed by our Qin cavalry. What do you two have to worry about?"

Meng Wu couldn't stand it anymore, so he snorted coldly and interrupted directly.

"Yes, Lord Xinling would know that even if he rebelled at this time, it would not change the fact that Wei would be destroyed. What exactly does he want?"

Meng Tian held his chin with his hand and lowered his head, muttering to himself.

three days later.

The Qin army arrived three miles away from Daliang, and Meng Tian, ​​as Meng Wu had said a few days ago, personally led the troops and was the first to rush to the city gate to gain the credit of being the first to reach the city.

It just took everyone by surprise.

When Meng Tian's troops arrived at the city gate.

I saw that the double doors of Daliang’s north gate were wide open.

And on the gatehouse.

A rope hung down, hanging the King of Wei who had been dead for many days.

The King of Wei had been stripped of all his clothes, his body was covered with wounds, and between his legs was a pool of blood and mud.

Except for his face, the King of Wei had not a single inch of intact skin.

The empty chest, the jade seal was nowhere to be found.

And at his feet.

From the prime minister to the eunuchs, corpses were piled up like mountains in the Wei State.

The city was filled with the smell of blood and was so quiet that not a single sound was heard.

Even the crowing of roosters and barking of dogs could not be heard.

"Enter the city!"

Meng Tian frowned and rode his horse to lead his troops inside.

Just entered the city gate.

The scene before him stunned Meng Yi, who had fought with the barbarians from the Western Regions on the battlefield for countless days and nights.

On the streets of the city, the bodies of soldiers and civilians were lying in layers.

There were the skinny bodies of old people, the twisted limbs of women, and the small, stiff half of a child’s body.

Their faces were twisted in pain and fear, their eyes open blankly.

Even the dogs, chickens, cows, sheep, and pigs were not left alive.

Flies were buzzing around.

White maggots crawled on the rotting corpse.

Crows circled low in the sky, wailing.

The blood gathered into a river, flowing slowly on the stone road. The pungent smell of blood filled every inch of the air, making people feel sick.

The houses were completely looted, with only broken bricks and tiles left.

Walk all the way inside.

The originally magnificent palace was now shattered into pieces by the sharp blade.

The walls were splattered with blood, and in some places the bloodstains formed strange shapes, as if it was the final struggle of the deceased.

And on the corridors along the way.

There were corpses hanging one after another.

There are court eunuchs and noble ministers.

Their bodies were tied with ropes, their faces were blue and their tongues were sticking out.

Some were even cut in half.

Continue walking forward and enter the main hall.

The palace maids and the concubines of King Wei were covered in white dirt and died naked.

Some of the legs were twisted behind the head and broken into three sections.

There is also a convex and concave part on the chest.

There was smelly butter and dark red blood flowing. Some were even pierced by spears.

But it's from the bottom up.

"This"

Meng Tian couldn't believe that such a horrifying scene would actually appear in the capital of Wei.

"Reporting to the general, all the books, gold, silver, and jewels in the palace have been taken away, and no one survived."

Half an hour later.

The subordinate officers came to report to Meng Tian.

"Have you found Lord Xinling's body?"

A feeling of uneasiness suddenly surged in Meng Yi's heart.

"No."

After returning to the outskirts of the city.

Bai Macuo and the others looked at Meng Tian's pale face, but there was no trace of blood on his armor, so they asked curiously: "What happened? Is the King of Wei willing to die rather than surrender?"

suck~
Call ~
Meng Tian let out a long breath, and then he said, "Daliang has been massacred. There is no one alive in the city. The King of Wei is dead, and no one knows where the jade seal is!"

"Massacre the city?"

Several people exclaimed.

"This, this is impossible!"

Not to mention that the Qin army had not arrived yet, even if they had already captured Daliang, they would never do something as cruel as massacring the city!
"Xinling Jun is missing, and neither Le Yang, Long Jia, or Xi Shou are among them. In my opinion, the city of Daliang was massacred on the orders of Xinling Jun."

Although it is unknown what caused Xinling Jun to do this, this is the only explanation at present.

"Follow me into the city!"

Meng Wu's face was as cold as iron, full of murderous intent, and his eyes were wide open with anger.

Three more days passed.

After confirming that there was nothing valuable left in Daliang City, including the royal palace.

Meng Wu immediately gave the order to burn down the city of Daliang, which had existed for hundreds of years.

Along with the dead King of Wei, as well as the officials and people in the city.

"Baimacuo and Zhuanzhu led 300,000 troops to enter the heartland of Wei from the northwest, while Meng Tian and Meng Yi led 300,000 troops to march in the northeast direction."

"Go find the imperial seal of Wei and the best soldiers in the Central Plains. No matter if Lord Xinling is dead or alive, bring him to me alive or dead."

Meng Wu issued military orders to everyone in a stern voice.

Dividing the troops into three groups and heading north from three directions also saved time to the greatest extent possible.

"The last general takes command!"

Say it.

The three groups of people set out immediately.

And a few days later.

Meng Wu and others suddenly discovered the cities that the army passed along the way.

When the common people and guards saw the Qin people, they fought to the death as if they had met enemies who had stolen their wives and killed their fathers.

This is still true even if the difference in military strength is dozens of times.

We didn't find out until we knocked on a few of their mouths.

now.

Xinling Jun has been crowned king and became the new King of Wei.

And also spread rumors across the country.

It is said that after the Qin people entered the capital Daliang, they burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of atrocities.

Not only did he torture the old King of Wei to death, but he also hung his body at the city gate to demonstrate the brutality of the Qin State.

The city lord, the common people, the civil and military officials, the chickens, dogs and livestock, no one was left alive.

They all died tragically at the hands of the jackals, wolves, dogs and leopards of the Qin people.

The Qin people even raped and insulted Wei women and the Wei king's concubines in the palace.

"Damn it, I will definitely cut off Xinling Jun's head with my own hands, and then drown it in the cesspool of that pit."

Meng Wu was so angry that he was fuming.

A few more months passed.

After the three armies of the Qin army heading north joined together, they finally blocked Xinling Jun and his entourage in Longcheng.

"Lord Xinling, you are one of the Four Gentlemen, yet you are capable of such evil deeds as massacring a city!"

At the gate of Dragon City.

Meng Wu, Bai Ma Cuo, Meng Tian, ​​Meng Yi, and Zhuan Zhu scolded Lord Xinling, who was the only one riding out of the city.

"Haha, massacre? Now everyone in Wei knows that it was you, the Qin people, who massacred Daliang. What does it have to do with me?"

Facing thousands of soldiers alone, there was not a trace of panic on Xinling Jun's face.

"What do you want to do? Is it just for the throne for a few days?"

Meng Tian was puzzled, he always felt that Xinling Jun seemed to have other purposes.

But now the Qin army has surrounded Longcheng.

Over the past year, half of Wei's elite troops had already been killed.

Even if Lord Xinling still had an army of 400,000, he would never be able to escape.

Moreover, Xinling Jun was not a stupid person. Meng Tian could not figure out what he wanted to do by doing this.

"I want a good reputation, a good reputation that will live forever, I want to hold power, and stay single in troubled times. I once said these words to Li Mu."

"Now, the State of Wei has been destroyed by the tyrannical Qin. Everyone in the world knows that I, Lord Xinling, was entrusted with the task of saving the State of Wei from collapse. I am one of the four great generals in the Central Plains. This name will surely live forever."

"Besides, I am already the king of Wei. There are 200,000 civilians and 400,000 soldiers in the city who all obey my orders. Not only do I hold power, I can even stay single in troubled times and open up a territory."

Xinling Jun spread his arms and shouted to the sky.

A crazy, perverted smile appeared on his face.

"For a false reputation, you massacred the city of Daliang. You are a beast who is worse than pigs and dogs. Do you still want to be remembered for generations?"

Meng Tian and his men were so angry at Xinling Jun's words that they trembled all over.

"Humph, single in troubled times? That's just crazy talk. I will chop off your head today."

Meng Wu raised his knife and walked forward, killing him directly.

"Jin Chan, after you insulted me that day, I knew you would not spare my life. However, even though I cannot kill you, I will not let you have your wish either!"

While laughing wildly, Xinling Jun took out a gray wolf-head jade seal from his arms.

And when he saw that Meng Wu's long sword was less than an inch away from his head.

Xinling Jun instantly drew out the narrow knife from his waist, swung it from bottom to top with all his strength, and knocked Meng Wu three meters away.

"By the way, everyone, do you know what the Central Plains Special Weapon of my Wei State is?"

Hearing what Xinling Jun said.

The expressions of the people present changed instantly.

Then at the same time, they picked up their weapons tacitly and slashed towards Xinling Jun.

but.

suddenly.

A faint white mist enveloped the entire Dragon City, isolating Meng Wu and his companions outside.

"Get out of my way!"

"Nine hundred and ninety thousand soldiers will defeat Loulan and return in one day!"

Without any hesitation, Meng Wu gathered his strongest military spirit and swung it hard towards Xinling Jun who was not far away.

The blow was so powerful that the sky changed color and fell into darkness.

It was like thousands of troops sweeping across the Western Regions in the yellow sand.

Just as Meng Wu's attack passed by.

In the mist, Xinling Jun and Longcheng behind him were safe and sound.

Instead, a huge deep pit was blown out in the open space dozens of miles away.

"I know. I know that the King of Qin and that damned Jin Chan want all of my Wei land, but what they want most is the Lone Wolf Seal and my Central Plains Special Forces."

"But I will not do as he wishes. I will take the Imperial Seal and the Central Plains' best soldiers away with me. No one of you can ever get them!"

The words fell.

Xinling Jun and the entire Dragon City behind him in the fog began to dim.

It seemed as if it was about to disappear on the spot.
