"With such achievements, the general's power in the southern border will be the same as Wang Li's. Then the Yin-Yang family will help the general get rid of Wang Li. At that time, the four counties in the southern border will be in the general's pocket."
"Lord Beijun, how confident are you about this matter?" Ren Xiong asked heavily.
"General, all great things in the world are fought for. When you encounter an opportunity, you have two choices: fight or not fight." Bei Jun said, "If you don't fight, there is only one result, which is failure. If you fight, there are two results, success or failure."
"As for the so-called certainty, it is often just a fluke mentality of people who yearn for success."
"Lord Beijun, I understand now, let me fight for..." Ren Xiong repeated.
At this moment, Ren Xiong no longer had the anger and anger-proneness he showed in front of Tu Ju and Zhao Tuo. He just did what Tu Ju and Zhao Tuo said, with only his own ambitious eyes.
Chapter 256 Banquet in Fancheng!
"Sir Captain, I'm sorry to say this, but the four counties in the southern border, even if we add the land of Baiyue, are still too crowded with three kings. After all, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, let alone three kings." With an ambitious look in his eyes, Ren Xiong expressed his ambition.
......
Zhao Tuo returned to the upper reaches of Yu Shui, where his tent was located.
A brave and extraordinary general came over immediately. He looked somewhat similar to Zhao Tuo and was Zhao Tuo's younger brother Zhao Guang.
After Zhao Tuo established the Kingdom of Nanyue, he also appointed his younger brother Zhao Guang as king - King of Cangwu, which shows how much Zhao Tuo relied on Zhao Guang.
"Brother, the high priest is here." Zhao Guang said.
"You came just in time. I just happened to be looking for him for something urgent." Zhao Tuo said heavily, "Where is he?"
"I've been waiting in your tent, big brother." Zhao Guang said.
Zhao Tuo immediately quickened his pace and walked into his tent.
Inside the big tent, an old man wearing green leaves and with various ancient runes painted on his face stood with his eyes closed. He was the high priest of the Cangqi tribe.
In the land of Baiyue, there are hundreds of tribes, if not thousands. Among them, there are some ancient tribes with magical powers. The Cangqi tribe is one of the oldest and most magical tribes.
Offer sacrifices to the heavens, obtain revelations from the heavens, and thus peek into the secrets of heaven.
The highest leader of the Cangqi tribe is the high priest.
"Senior..." Zhao Tuo said respectfully.
"General Zhao, Heaven will give you a great responsibility." The high priest spoke directly, but his eyes were still closed.
"Oh..." Hearing this, Zhao Tuo's face lit up, and he said in surprise and expectation, "Did the high priest discover some secrets?"
"Yes, I have two secrets waiting for me recently." said the high priest.
"First, there will be a new king in the land of Baiyue - the King of Nanyue, that is, you, General Zhao. The divine sign indicates that you, General Zhao, will restore the former glory of the Baiyue Dynasty."
"King of Nanyue..." Hearing these three words, Zhao Tuo couldn't hide the excitement on his face at all, "So, what's the second secret?"
"General Zhao, this second secret is a gift from heaven," the high priest said. "General Zhao, have you ever heard of the Baiyue treasure?"
"Of course I have heard of it. In the past, the Baiyue Dynasty had countless rare treasures. The King of Baiyue hid those rare treasures in a secret place. It is said that only the King of Baiyue and his crown prince Tianze knew about it." Zhao Tuo said.
"However, both the King of Baiyue and his crown prince Tianze are dead. From then on, the Baiyue treasure has become a mystery."
"High Priest, do you know where the treasure of Baiyue is?" Zhao Tuo asked in a trembling voice, his eyes turning.
"General Zhao, we have a definite clue. Please trust the Cangqi tribe. Within three months, we will find the long-lost Baiyue treasure for General Zhao. It's just that we lack manpower." said the high priest.
"Good, good, good..." Zhao Tuo was almost crazy and happy to hear that the long-lost Baiyue treasure could be found within three months. He said cheerfully, "How many people does the high priest need?"
"Five thousand elite soldiers." said the high priest.
"No problem, Zhao Guang, you personally select five thousand elite soldiers and follow the high priest. You must obey the high priest's orders and make sure to find the treasure of Baiyue." Zhao Tuo immediately ordered his younger brother.
"Yes, brother..." Zhao Guang was also extremely excited.
"Now that this general has learned these two secrets, it seems that it is time to act." Zhao Tuo emphasized.
"General, what action?" asked the high priest.
Then Zhao Tuo told the story again.
As luck would have it, after hearing the story, the high priest came to the same conclusion as Zhao Cheng and Bei Jun. He said with a smile, "General, it seems that Ying Xiao wants to win over the three of you."
"That's right." Zhao Tuo nodded, "So this time, I plan to stand on Ying Xiao's side and join forces with him to get rid of Tu Ju and Ren Xiong."
"Then wait for an opportunity to get rid of Wang Li. The four counties in the southern border of the Qin Dynasty and the land of Baiyue will be the territory under my feet."
"The Kingdom of Nanyue and the King of Nanyue are not far away..."
......
In the city of Fan, stove fires shot up into the sky.
An army of 400,000 soldiers had to eat and drink for three days and three nights, which was a huge task. Therefore, 20,000 of the 40,000 battle-hardened armored soldiers were temporarily turned into firemen.
As for food, fodder, fine wine and good meat, they were naturally brought by the Pretty Widow and the Immortal Corpse Slave, who led the 50,000-strong Yelang army and the 10,000-strong corpse army.
"Your Highness, this..." On the highest building in the city, Wang Li, Zhongli Mei, Tian Hu and the nine masters of the Limu tribe were extremely worried as they saw the entire city was filled with stove fires.
"Don't worry, there won't be any war. The Baiyue coalition forces won't come, and Tu Ju, Ren Xiong, and Zhao Tuo won't take any action. They will just come to join us obediently." Ying Xiao said with a smile.
"Because in their opinion, the purpose of my rewarding the three armies this time is to win them over."
Hearing Ying Xiao's words, the expressions of Wang Li, Zhongli Mei, Tian Hu, and the nine masters of the Limu tribe all changed, because in their opinion, Ying Xiao was only trying to win over Tu Ju and the other two. They also approved of this approach, because no matter what, the real enemy was the Baiyue coalition.
But Ying Xiao's words obviously had other purposes.
At this moment, Wang Li and others realized that this reward was not simple.
Involuntarily, several people looked at each other and asked, "May I ask what is your highness's real purpose?"
"Kill people and seize their soldiers." Ying Xiao said coldly, finally stating his purpose.
"What..." Everyone was shocked.
"What's the matter? Wang Li, Zhongli Mei, don't you two want to truly lead the Lingnan Legion?" Ying Xiao whispered.
"Your Highness, it's not..." Wang Li and Zhong Limei said hurriedly, "We have long wanted to lead the Lingnan Army to completely wipe out Baiyue and protect the southern border of Daqin."
"It's just that Your Highness, Tu Ju and the other two have been here since the establishment of the Lingnan Army. Their prestige in the army..."
"Your Highness, it is indeed not easy to move them under the current circumstances."
"Prestige in the army..." Ying Xiao smiled faintly, "Wang Li, Zhongli Mei, do you think that Tu Ju and the other two are the most prestigious in the hearts of the soldiers of the Lingnan Army?"
"No, the most prestigious ones are naturally His Majesty and His Highness." Wang Li and Zhong Li Mei said heavily.
"Tell the truth." Ying Xiao said.
Wang Li and Zhong Li Mei looked at each other again and nodded, "Your Highness, we have been here for quite some time. At least we think that Tu Ju and the other two are indeed the most prestigious."
"Wang Li, Zhongli Mei, it seems that you have not experienced enough battles and do not understand the true prestige." Ying Xiao said, "To the soldiers of the Lingnan Army today, no general can be called prestigious. Even Your Majesty and the king have no prestige in their hearts."
"Now, the only thing that has prestige for them is good wine and good meat."
“Of course, good food and good wine cannot become real prestige, but it is definitely the beginning of building prestige.”
Chapter 257: Borrowing Three Things!
"Your Highness, I am confused..."
Wang Li and Zhong Li Mei both said this.
Ying Xiao whispered, "The source of the soldiers in the Lingnan Army is the soldiers of the six kingdoms. After experiencing defeat in wars and the loss of their country, and life as a captive, and after several life and death experiences, their hearts have become numb."
"They may be brave, but now they probably don't know what they are fighting for. They are just fighting for numbness and just trying to survive."
“So, who can retain prestige in their hearts?”
"The so-called prestige of Tu Ju, Ren Xiong, and Zhao Tuo in their hearts is just that they are used to being commanded by these three people."
"And this habit is very fragile. It will be covered up by a big drink and forgotten by a big meal. Because these soldiers of the six countries haven't seen good wine and good meat for many years."
"In the past, the six kingdoms were ruled by nobles, corrupt officials, and economic depression. People's lives were miserable, and it was good enough to have enough to eat. How could they have good wine and good meat?"
"This is especially true since the beginning of the war to unify the Great Qin..."
"So, after so many years...so three days of satisfying their oral desires will make them completely forget about Tu Ju and the other two."
"Of course, all this is just for a new beginning. Three days later, the Lingnan Army will be a brand new Lingnan Army." Ying Xiao said, "It is the Lingnan Army of the Qin Dynasty. Wang Li, Zhongli Mei, I hope you will remember this."
"Yes, Your Highness..." The two nodded heavily.
At this time, a Tianxing warrior came to report, "Your Highness, we received a secret letter from General Ren Xiong who is stationed in Nanye."
Then, another person from Tian Xing came to report, "Your Highness, we received another secret letter from General Zhao Tuo who was guarding the bank of Yushui River."
"Oh? Kind of interesting..." Ying Xiao murmured, and immediately read the two secret letters. After reading them, Ying Xiao laughed even more, "Hahaha, it's really interesting."
Then he showed the two secret letters to Wang Li and Zhong Li Mei.
"Your Highness, it seems that these three have their own agendas." Wang Li said coldly, "But I didn't expect that they were so ambitious that they actually wanted to establish themselves as kings."
"I thought they just wanted to squeeze me out."
"I'm afraid there is a hand behind each of the three of them." Ying Xiao narrowed his eyes and said, "This is something I didn't expect, but it doesn't matter. The outcome of this banquet in Fancheng is already determined."
"Let Meng Yi reply to each of them with a letter to reassure them. As for how to reply, let Meng Yi decide for himself."
"Yes, Your Highness..."
......
When the time came, Tu Ju, Ren Xiong and Zhao Tuo each led their armies and met outside Fan City.
Wang Li and Zhongli Mei went to greet them.
The entire Fan City was immediately filled with the aroma of wine and meat.
In the main hall of Fancheng, Wang Li and Zhongli Mei arrived with Tu Ju and the other two, and Ying Xiao sat on the seat of honor.
"Greetings, Your Highness..." The three of them bowed respectfully.
Then they first apologized, then expressed their thanks, and each one was more passionate than the last.
"Three generals, I understand what you said. I know even more clearly that everything you three generals have done is for the sake of Daqin, so here, I would like to offer a toast to you three generals." Ying Xiao said.
"Your Highness, we would never dare to..." the three of them said hurriedly and knelt down again.
"I think the three of you should be able to accept this cup. For so many years, the southern border has relied entirely on the reputation of the three generals. So in the future, I hope the three generals will assist me to pacify the Baiyue as soon as possible to reassure your majesty and the people of the Great Qin." Ying Xiao said.
"drink..."
Seeing Ying Xiao drink the glass of wine, Tu Ju and the other two looked at each other with smug expressions on their faces.
Of course, the three people's expressions of pride were different.
"Three of you, after rewarding the three armies, I will swear to march south, so I need to borrow something from you to boost the morale of the army." Putting down the wine glass, Ying Xiao spoke again.
"Your Highness, please tell me, what is it?" Tu Ju asked with a happy face.
"The heads of the three of you." Ying Xiao said indifferently.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the hall became extremely cold.
Tu Ju's expression instantly changed from being full of joy to being ferocious and angry.
How could he have imagined such a scene?
At this moment, a cunning look flashed in Ren Xiong and Zhao Tuo's eyes, because this sentence was exactly the signal that Ying Xiao gave them in the secret letter.
Swish!
Swish!
Ren Xiong and Zhao Tuo drew their swords almost at the same time and stabbed at each other.
Wow!
Wow!
Two mouthfuls of blood spurted out at the same time, as Ren Xiong and Zhao Tuo's swords pierced each other's chests respectively.
In an instant, Ren Xiong and Zhao Tuo understood everything. They looked at Ying Xiao in disbelief and said in unison, "You...you, Ying Xiao, how dare you..."
Such a scene naturally shocked Tu Ju even more. He no longer thought about anything else and immediately drew his sword to kill Ying Xiao.
But suddenly, he felt his body become rigid. Not only could he not take a step forward, he couldn't even draw out the sword at his waist.
Tu Ju immediately lowered her eyes and found that her hands were covered with layers of corpse spots.
