Chapter 401: The Change of Book Burning (Part II)
If Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng single-handedly created a huge empire that unified the world, then it was probably himself who sent this empire to the end, no matter what he thought, if there was no book burning this time, maybe the rebellion of the descendants of the Six Kingdoms would not be more violent, which also led to the disintegration of the Qin Dynasty after Yingzheng's death.
The arrival of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion made the situation in the fire field clearer, this time the Xiao Cavalry Battalion came to nearly 1,000 people, and each of them is elite, although it may be a little worse than the Tianzi cavalry of the Mengjia Army, but the overall combat power is not inferior, and it also makes the soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion in addition to the cavalry of the Mengjia Army, not to take any cavalry in the world in their eyes. Although they were all cavalry, and they had left their horses under their crotch, these soldiers were still excellent in foot combat, and they faced the masked men who were not afraid of death, and they met them like tigers descending from the mountain.
Zhou Zhe led the people to rush to Meng Tian's side, and saw that everyone was soaked with blood, but Zhou Zhe was startled, and he hurriedly asked everyone: "General, are you okay?" And you, Li You, how are you?"
Li You nodded to Zhou Zhe, signaling that he was okay for the time being, but he was just a little out of strength.
Meng Tian looked at these masked men who were fighting with the soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and he said to Zhou Zhe: "I don't think these people are improvising today, there should be a leader behind them, and that person is also here now, if we don't find him, I'm afraid the casualties of the soldiers will be very heavy." ”
Zhou Zhe nodded solemnly, and he said, "Just now, when I rode over, I saw a group of people in the southwest there, I don't know if it's or not." ”
Meng Tian looked to the southwest direction of the fire, where the fire was relatively small compared to other places, because the southwest wind was blowing today, standing in that direction could indeed reduce the smoke produced when the bamboo slips and books were burning, and then he could clearly see the battle situation of the entire fire field.
"I think that's where it is, and now that your men are at war with the masked men, this man behind the scenes will definitely stay there. You stay here to protect Li You, he was shot by that person in the chest, and I will find out the person behind the scenes. Meng Tian turned his head and said to Zhou Zhe.
Zhou Zhe and Li You were worried that Meng Tian would be in danger, Zhou Zhe asked: "I'll go with you, there are a lot of them, I am worried that you will suffer if you go by yourself." ”
A sneer appeared at the corner of Meng Tian's mouth, "Don't worry, it should be them who should suffer." After finishing speaking, Meng Tian blew a whistle, and the next moment, a lot of Meng family army guards suddenly appeared around the backfield, gathering in the direction of Meng Tian.
Seeing the appearance of the iron guards of the Meng family's army, Zhou Zhe and Li You were much more relieved, how could they forget this killer feature of Meng Tian.
Meng Tian nodded at the two of them, and then left them with more than a dozen iron guards, and he took all the remaining iron guards to rush towards the southwest of the fire under the cover of the fire.
On the southwestern edge of the fire, dozens of people gathered, all of them masked in black cloth, and two of them were dressed in more ornate clothes, which looked more unusual than the colorful clothes of the others next to them. These people stood here, watching the change of form within the fire.
"This time Yingzheng ordered the burning of books is like a madman can do it, there are so many books in the world, if they are really going to be burned by him, then the history of our six countries will not become nothing. One of the two men in ragged words said.
Another person said: "Yes, not only the tyrant Yingzheng, but also the prime minister Li Si, who was once a Confucian disciple, can also come up with such a bad idea." Well, his son died here, and I think Li Si will definitely pay for what he did. ”
"That's what I said, this time I want to teach Ying Zheng and Li Si a lesson, let them know that although our descendants of the Six Kingdoms have been destroyed by them, we will never bow our heads to them. The man who spoke first said.
"Okay, Meng Tian has arrived here, and the reinforcements from the Qin army are also coming, so we can't stay here for long. Send someone to urge us to see if there are still books to be found, we are running out of time, and we must leave immediately. Seeing that the soldiers of the cavalry battalion and his men in the distance had begun to fight, the masked man who spoke later said.
"My lord, someone is coming. A masked man who was on guard on the perimeter came running over to report.
The two of them looked around, and sure enough, there were quite a few people and horses dressed in the same clothes who killed them in their direction.
"It seems that this should be the mysterious Mengjia army in Meng Tian's hands, it is said that this army has good combat effectiveness, but even you were planted in the hands of these people at the beginning. One of the two said to his other companion, only to snort disdainfully. Read a book
Meng Tian had already rushed to the edge of the fire with people, he had already seen those people, and he also knew that those people must have also discovered him, after all, he had no intention of hiding, since those people had not left, he had always wanted to fight with him.
"Is it Meng Tian?" Before Meng Tian approached the group, he heard a voice coming.
Meng Tian's footsteps slowed down after hearing this, and the iron guards behind him also slowed down with the footsteps of his own general. This voice sounded a little familiar, Meng Tian couldn't remember whose voice it was for a while, but replied loudly: "Yes, I am Meng Tian, since you know me, you don't know each other and leave here quickly." ”
Those people didn't seem to listen to Meng Tian's warning words, and when they saw Meng Tian stop a few feet away from them, they also set up a position and confronted Meng Tian-for-tat.
Seeing that these people were all masked with black cloths, Meng Tian stepped forward and asked, "I heard that voice a little familiar just now, I think there should be one of you who is familiar with me, I don't know if you are willing to meet me." I haven't seen the old man for a long time, even if I don't fight, it's okay to say a few words, right?"
A masked man also walked in front of his own person, looked at Meng Tian and said, "It seems that you still remember my voice, I really don't know if I mean it should be my honor, or your misfortune Meng Tian." ”
"Why, I haven't seen you for so long, don't you dare to speak with the sword in your hand?Just want to scare me with words, are you underestimating me too much?" Meng Tian had vaguely guessed who the person who spoke was, but he couldn't believe it, because the owner of this voice should have died a long time ago.
The masked man who spoke laughed twice, then removed his mask and showed his true face in front of Meng Tian.
"Sure enough, it was you, I suspected that you weren't really dead, and I didn't expect you to be alive. Meng Tian recognized that person, he was Chu Fei, who was known as the number one killer in the world who intended to kill Ying Zheng in the palace that time.
Chu Fei threw his mask into the fire on the side, then looked at Meng Tian and said: "I said that as a killer, although he is the god of death of his own target, sometimes he has to pretend to be dead, and only those who live are qualified to kill others, what do you say?"
Meng Tian laughed twice, he said: "I am a leader of the army, I have no interest in the way of killing you believe, whether you die or not, I don't care, I didn't kill you with my own hands in the palace at the beginning, and today I just take this opportunity to get rid of you." ”
Seeing that Chu Fei told Meng Tian his true identity, another masked man hurriedly persuaded Chu Fei beside him: "Today we have few people, and we are at the gate of Xianyang City, if there is a large group of Qin soldiers coming, I'm afraid we will have a lot of trouble, I said let's withdraw first." ”
Chu Fei ignored him, he looked at Meng Tian and said: "No matter what, you have always been the number one opponent in my heart since Jing Ke's death, if I can't let my sword drink your blood, I'm afraid I will have regrets for the rest of my life." With that, Chu Fei pulled his sword out of the scabbard, and the tip of the sword pointed at Meng Tian from afar, and his fighting spirit was great.
Meng Tian looked at Chu Fei, and after observing the masked people behind Chu Fei, Meng Tian didn't have much nature for fighting with Chu Fei, he wanted to know the identity of those masked people, which was very important. In any case, today's Chu Fei is just a killer, and he is no longer the person who was the commander of the forbidden army in the palace, and if he fights with him, it doesn't matter the overall situation at all whether he wins or loses.
"Of course there will be a battle between you and me, but not now, today you are not the original commander of the forbidden army, today I am a soldier, you are a bandit, I will arrest you rightly, if you are willing to tie up with those people behind you, I can give you a chance in the future The two of us have a fair fight, how about it?"
Of course Chu Fei wouldn't let Meng Tian catch him, he smiled, and then said to Meng Tian: "If you want to fight, you will fight, where is so much nonsense, if you defeat me, I and these people behind me will still be your trophies." ”
"Chu Fei, what are you doing, let's just go, why do you have to work hard with this Meng Tian, our task has been completed, it's time to go." Another masked man said to Chu Fei, he was very confident in Chu Fei's strength, but his opponent was Meng Tian after all, there were rumors that Meng Tian was defeated by him once, but today the situation is different, he is still worried that Chu Fei will lose, if he loses, he will lose a trump card on his side, how can he fight with Meng Tian.
Chu Fei's face was unwilling after hearing this, he really wanted to fight with Meng Tian again, but today's situation is really not optimistic. This book-burning operation to destroy Yingzheng, he has a task in his body, if he can't complete this mission, I'm afraid the master behind him won't forgive him, now that the task has been completed, he just needs to leave here. If he and Meng Tian are consumed, I'm afraid that everyone brought here this time will die here.
"Meng Tian, I will let you go this time, don't worry, the next time you and I meet again, there will be a big battle, and then either you will die or I will die. Chu Fei still decided to leave here first, the manpower brought this time has lost enough, and it is really no good to fight any longer, but he will be punished.
Chu Fei left quickly with people, but it was too late for Meng Tian to stop him, first, he was short of manpower, and secondly, he really couldn't stop him, so he had to watch Chu Fei leave here with people.
