Early the next morning, just as the light began to shine on the ground, the charge horn sounded.
The sound of shouting and killing also echoed.
Forty thousand battle-hardened armored soldiers, led by Tian Hu, took the lead in the attack, carrying powerful crossbows and heavy bows.
Subsequently, various siege weapons were rapidly advanced.
In just one hour, the gate of Kuaiji City was broken.
"It seems that giving them three days is too long." Standing on the huge chariot in the middle of the army, Ying Xiao said with a smile, "It seems that the death of Yi Xusong has turned these 400,000 elite Baiyue soldiers into useless people."
"The death of a commander is a huge blow to the morale of an army," said Tian Yan.
"There's nothing we can do about it. It's Yi Xusong's fault for asking for death. As a general and a leader, he actually dared to go to the Thousand Tiger Cave..." Ying Xiao said.
Next, within half a day, Wang Li and Zhongli Mei completely captured Kuaiji City.
Ying Xiao naturally handed over all the chores to Wang Li and Zhongli Mei, and immediately brought Yan Lingji, Xiao Meng and others as well as a group of corpse soldiers to Yuewangtai to look for the Baiyue treasure.
For five whole days, Ying Xiao dug almost every corner of the area where Yuewang Terrace was located, but still failed to find the so-called Baiyue treasure.
"It's not here, so where is it?" Ying Xiao was helpless.
"Does Yue Long's Sleeping Dragon have other meanings?" Xiao Meng also became curious. "But... apart from the explanation of Yue King Goujian sleeping on firewood and tasting gall, what other meanings can there be?"
"In this land of Baiyue, the only one who can be called the Dragon of Yue is King Gou Jian of Yue." Tian Yan also said, also shaking his head to express his confusion.
"It seems that we can only wait until Tianze wakes up..." Yanchen said, spreading his hands.
"It seems that this is the only way at the moment." Ying Xiao sighed and nodded.
However, just as Ying Xiao sighed, Meng Yi came and said that people from the Apocalypse tribe brought news that Tianze had awakened.
"Really?" Ying Xiao immediately became excited.
"Your Highness, yes, and Tianze expressed his willingness to submit to the Qin Dynasty. After he rests for a few more days, he will show up in Baiyue and call on the people of Baiyue to return to the Qin Dynasty." Meng Yi said.
"He made the right choice." Ying Xiao said solemnly, "In this way, Baiyue will be stable. With the call of Tianze and Tianqi tribes, plus the shock of this war, there will be no more voices of rebellion against the Qin Dynasty in Baiyue."
"By the way, didn't Tianze tell us where the Baiyue treasure is?" Ying Xiao asked hurriedly.
"Your Highness, I have said it, and it is still the same four words, 'Yue Long Zhi Zuo' (The Dragon of Yue), but Tianze said that the so-called Zuo does not mean sleeping on firewood and tasting gall." Meng Yi said, "This Zuo is related to the queen of Gou Jian, the King of Yue."
"Oh, is it related to Gou Jian's queen?" Ying Xiao was surprised.
"It seems that sleeping on brushwood and tasting gall is a cover, but it is a really good cover. In the land of Baiyue, anyone who hears the four words 'Yue Dragon's Sleeping' will only think of the place where King Goujian of Yue slept on brushwood and tasted gall." Yanchen said.
At this time, Yan Lingji spoke up, "Ya Yu, the queen of Gou Jian, the King of Yue, was a tragic woman. The moment Gou Jian, the King of Yue, led 3,000 Yue armored demon soldiers to break through Gusu City, her life also came to an end."
"King Gou Jian of Yue built a pond for her, the Yayu Pond, in the city of Langya."
"After King Gou Jian of Yue conquered Wu, he moved the capital from Kuaiji to Langya."
"I understand." Ying Xiao said, "The final resting place that King Gou Jian of Yue wanted most must be with his queen, but he had already been possessed by a demon and thought he was unworthy, so he slept forever in the Thousand Tiger Cave."
"The so-called sleeping place is what King Gou Jian of Yue wants most in his heart, not the actual sleeping place..."
"I have to say, the King of Baiyue is very smart."
"Then Your Highness..." said the immortal corpse slave.
"Let's go to Langya City without further ado," Ying Xiao said.
In the Yayu Pond in Langya City, Ying Xiao finally got his wish and found the Baiyue treasure.
Just as the legend says, there are countless rare treasures, enough to fill three palaces.
"Your Highness, with these, my Great Qin no longer has to worry about insufficient military funds." Looking at the palace filled with rare treasures, Meng Yi said excitedly.
"You are right. This treasure is too crucial for the current Qin Dynasty. Meng Yi, leave a part of it for the Lingnan Legion, and start transporting the rest back to Xianyang." Ying Xiao ordered.
"Yes, Your Highness." Meng Yi nodded heavily.
"Then next, let's look for the map to Shenlong Island here." Ying Xiao said.
Chapter 278: Complete chaos!
"This map is the most important thing!" Ying Xiao said again.
Soon, the group turned the three palaces under the Yayu Pond upside down, leaving no corner unsearched. Finally, Xiaomeng found a map in an inconspicuous box.
It was an overseas map, undoubtedly, it was the map to Shenlong Island.
"Shenlong Island, Shenlong, are you really going there?" Xiao Meng said worriedly, "Back then, the King of Baiyue commanded 300 top masters and 10,000 strongest soldiers. They used all their means and almost wiped out the entire army, only then did they get two drops of Shenlong's blood..."
"Eternal life, the temptation of these two words is too great for me to resist. Besides, only with eternal life can I be with you forever." Ying Xiao said seriously.
Hearing this, Xiao Meng said solemnly, "I'll go with you."
"Of course, even if you don't want to go, I will tie you up and take you there, hehehe..." Ying Xiao laughed, "And you all have to go..."
Ying Xiao's evil eyes swept over Tian Yan, the pretty widow, Yan Lingji and the immortal corpse slave.
"What about him..." Seeing that Ying Xiao didn't even glance at him, Yanchen said resentfully.
"Sister will go too, of course."
"That's pretty much it."
Then, Ying Xiao became serious again, "But before that, your strength must surpass the Ninth Heaven and reach the threshold of the Land God Realm."
"So from now on, I will be very strict with you..."
Feeling Ying Xiao's seriousness, the girls nodded heavily, because they understood that without the strength, not only would they die following Ying Xiao, but they would also become a burden to him.
"Then let's get started..." After putting away the map to Shenlong Island and giving instructions to Meng Yi, Ying Xiao began training the women.
Ying Xiao was not in a hurry to leave the Land of Baiyue. He needed to wait until the Land of Baiyue had reached a general stability before leaving.
But soon, all kinds of bad news came.
The inner territory of the Qin Dynasty is no longer a place where demons are rampant and some noble families and officials are inciting chaos.
But it was a war.
The princes and nobles of the former six kingdoms rose up in arms under the names of the former six kingdoms.
Daqin has reached its most dangerous moment.
In the former Han territory, Han Cheng, a member of the royal family of Han, proclaimed himself King of Han and raised his army in Yangdi.
In the former Wei territory, two princes of Wei, Wei Ju and Wei Bao, raised troops in Pingyang, and Wei Ju proclaimed himself the King of Western Wei.
There were also Zhang Er and Shen Yang, who were once followers of Lord Xinling of Wei State. They used the name of Lord Xinling and proclaimed themselves King of Changshan and King of Henan respectively, and raised their armies in Xiangcheng and Luoyang respectively.
In the former Zhao territory, Zhao Xie, a member of the Zhao royal family, proclaimed himself King of Dai and raised his army from Dai County to confront Meng Tian. Two Zhao nobles, Sima Ang and Han Guang, who responded to Zhao Xie, were named King of Yin and King of Liaodong by Zhao Xie. They raised their armies from Chaoge and Wuzhong City respectively and joined Zhao Xie in fighting against Meng Tian.
In the former Yan territory, Zang Tu, a noble of the State of Yan, proclaimed himself King of Yan, raised an army in Jicheng, and dominated the former Yan territory.
In the former Chu territory, Xiang Yu proclaimed himself the Overlord of Western Chu, led his soldiers from Jiangdong across the Wujiang River to Pengcheng, and started his army from Pengcheng.
In the former Qi territory, three members of the Qi royal family each became king. Tian Shi proclaimed himself King of Jiaodong and raised his army in Jimo, Tian Du proclaimed himself King of Qi and raised his army in Linzi, and Tian An proclaimed himself King of Jibei and raised his army in Boyang.
In addition, the lineage of Emperor Yan finally came into the world.
As expected, the previous leader of the Nong family, Tian Guang, was not dead. He raised an army in Mount Li and proclaimed himself Emperor Yan.
And this guy directly controls the Lishan Legion.
The entire Lishan Legion, from the generals to the smallest captain, were all descendants of Emperor Yan.
Therefore, when the Yan Emperor's lineage was born, the four major legions of the Qin Dynasty were directly transformed into three major legions, and Hangu Pass was under the most direct threat.
......
In the main hall of Langya City, after Meng Yi reported the news to Ying Xiao, he said solemnly, "Your Highness, this is completely chaotic. I never thought that the situation facing Daqin would be so serious."
"This is destined to happen." Ying Xiao said, "Since the Yellow Emperor, the world has been divided into fiefdoms. This was even more so during the Yao, Shun and Yu periods, and even more so during the Shang and Zhou dynasties. The Shang dynasty had 800 princes, big and small, and the Zhou dynasty also had 72 princes."
"For nearly three thousand years, there has never been a true unification of the world."
"Your Majesty has swept across the six kingdoms, the six kings have been eliminated, and the four seas have become one, achieving true unification. However, the impact of nearly three thousand years of feudal division is too great, so after this unification, the world is bound to be in chaos again."
"This is the real test for the Qin Dynasty. After the unification, the Qin Dynasty will be stable and peaceful. If the Qin Dynasty fails this time, the unification of the world may be a distant dream."
As he spoke, Ying Xiao narrowed his eyes and spoke in a heavier tone, "But these guys who proclaimed themselves kings and raised armies from all over the place are not afraid. The only ones who can become the enemy of the Qin Dynasty are the King of Western Chu, Xiang Yu, and Tian Guang, who is from the lineage of Emperor Yan."
"Even so, I had already predicted Xiang Yu's rebellion. Whether it was the eight words - Even if there are only three households left in Chu, Chu will destroy Qin - or the Chiyou Palace behind Xiang Yu, it was destined that Xiang Yu would rebel."
"The only thing I didn't expect was that Tian Guang, the leader of the Yan Emperor's lineage, had taken control of the entire Lishan Army without anyone noticing. This not only greatly weakened the military strength of our Qin, but also directly threatened Hangu Pass."
"Your Highness, how should we respond?" Meng Yi asked seriously.
"There is no good way. The only way is to unify the country again like we did when we destroyed the six kingdoms." Ying Xiao said, "But this time, the people should support the Great Qin."
"The new policies for people's livelihood that I asked Zhang Liang and Xiao He to implement are the foundation of people's hearts. Coupled with the promotion of Confucianism, it won't take a few years for unification to be achieved."
"Meng Yi, get ready. I will go back to Xianyang with you. Before we unify the country again, there are some things that I need to discuss with His Majesty in person."
"Yes, Your Highness..." Meng Yi nodded and went to prepare.
After Meng Yi left, Ying Xiao instructed the women, "I will not take you with me when I return to Xianyang this time, because I need you to guard Baiyue together with Wang Li and Zhong Li Mei."
The women knew that the matter was serious, and they all nodded heavily, "We know."
"Don't worry, Your Highness. My sister will never allow any unrest in Baiyue." Yan Chen said emphatically.
"it is good..."
Then, Ying Xiao went to Kuaiji City to meet Wang Li.
Only Wang Li was seen.
"Your Highness!" Wang Li said respectfully.
"I believe you already know the current situation." Ying Xiao said again, "The Baiyue is now in your hands. Prepare your army at any time and wait for the orders from your majesty and the king to march north."
"Yes, Your Highness." Wang Li said heavily.
"This time, after I return to Xianyang, you should receive an imperial edict soon. I can tell you the general content of the edict now. You, Wang Li, may be crowned king." Ying Xiao said.
Chapter 279: The Proposal to Confer the Kingship! The God of War of Tian Ce!
"Your Highness..." Hearing this, Wang Li's expression changed instantly, and he was afraid, because he thought Ying Xiao was warning him. He trembled and repeated, "I am deeply terrified..."
"I will always be a general of the Qin Dynasty!"
"Wang Li, being crowned a king does not conflict with you being a general of the Qin Dynasty." Ying Xiao said, "Let me be frank. The world needs to be reunified. The county system will not be abolished, but the world after reunification should not only be a county system."
After Ying Xiao said this, Wang Li naturally understood that Ying Xiao was not trying to criticize him, and his expression was extremely excited, "Your Highness..."
"Here, I will make you another promise." Ying Xiao continued, "Do you know why I value the map to Shenlong Island so much?"
"If possible, I hope that you, Wang Li, will always be a general of the Qin Dynasty and always be the king under the Qin Dynasty."
At this moment, Wang Li's pupils shrank sharply.
He couldn't believe that Ying Xiao actually made such a promise to him.
It seemed like a long time had passed before Wang Li finally responded. He knelt down and said, "I, General Wang Li, will not let down the trust of your Majesty and your Highness."
"In that case, this land of Baiyue will be handed over to you." Ying Xiao said.
After meeting Wang Li, Ying Xiao and Meng Yi returned to Xianyang as quickly as possible, carrying many Baiyue treasures.
After arriving in Xianyang, Ying Xiao immediately went to the Xianyang Palace to meet Ying Zheng.
"Brother Xiao, those guys have indeed rebelled. It seems that I was too merciful in the beginning and did not massacre all the royal families of the six kingdoms." Ying Zheng said angrily.
"Now that the world is in chaos again, I wonder how many innocent souls will be buried again."
"Brother Zheng, there is nothing we can do about it, but after this time, everything will be truly stable." Ying Xiao said.
"Yes, after this time, the eternal foundation of our Great Qin will be completely stable, and no one can shake it anymore." Ying Zheng said heavily.
"Brother Zheng, it's not a foundation for eternity, but a foundation for eternity." Ying Xiao said, "This time in Baiyue, I have obtained a map to Shenlong Island."
"Moreover, there is news about the other four strange beasts. Eternal life is just around the corner."
"Really, Brother Xiao..." Hearing this, Ying Zheng was extremely excited.
"Brother Zheng, how could I lie to you about this?" Ying Xiao said with a smile.
"Good...good...hahahaha, my Great Qin will last forever." Ying Zheng's supreme imperial eyes, which contained the dragon energy of the world, seemed to have looked into the future, and he laughed out loud.
