Chapter 224: Wang Chan Talks About the Dao
By the time Li Xin received the news of the Chu army's sneak attack, he led the army to the battlefield by the river, and the battle was already over. Li Xin gathered the fleeing Qin army and went to the barracks.
In the Qin army camp by the river, the remaining Qin soldiers were carrying the corpses of the Qin and Chu soldiers who had died in battle. Li Xin stood at the door of the barracks, which could not be regarded as the door, in short, it was the outermost part of the battlefield, looking at the corpses all over the ground, it could be seen how fierce the battle was last night.
"Where is General Mengwu?" Li Xin asked the soldiers beside him.
"Back to the general, the last general doesn't know. ”
Meng Wu is the commander of this large battalion, and he is also the deputy commander of his own army of 200,000 people, and last night the Chu army suddenly attacked, hoping that nothing would happen to him. Li Xin is much older than Meng Wu, he is Wang Qian's brother, and his ability to lead troops to fight is also taught by Wang Qian, and he is also a famous general in Qin.
Li Xin didn't go far before a soldier ran over to him and reported: "General Qiyu, General Mengwu has been found." ”
"Where? Bring him to me. Li Xin hurriedly said.
"General Hui, General Mengwu has been hit by several arrows, and his life is afraid of ......" The soldier knelt on the ground and muttered, not daring to say the second half of the sentence.
Li Xin said sharply when he heard this: "I'm afraid what's wrong?"
"I'm afraid it's not guaranteed. ”
After hearing this, Li Xin's face changed greatly, and he asked the soldier who sent the message to stand up and take him to Meng Wu.
Meng Wu was lying at the door of the barracks' tent, most of the tent had been burned, and the sparks on the wood had not been extinguished, and he was still strong and smoking.
Around Meng Tian, there was a circle of subordinates who followed him to fight on the battlefield, and everyone knelt on the ground, looking at Meng Wu who was lying there.
After Xiang Yan discovered Meng Wu's location last night, together with the Chu soldiers around him who were guarding his safety, he shot a total of more than 100 bows and arrows at the area where Meng Wu was located, and took Meng Wu and the Qin soldiers guarding him to his left and right and more than a dozen Chu soldiers besieging Meng Wu, and all the people in this area were shot.
Especially Meng Wu, who was directly pierced through his chest by Xiang Yan's arrow, and then before he could react, more than a dozen arrows rushed over. In the end, Meng Wu fell to the ground with five arrows and died at the age of forty-five.
Li Xin rushed here and was stunned when he saw Meng Wu lying in the arrow bush on the ground. Meng Wu is the son of Meng Fu, although his military achievements are not as good as his father's, but he also made great achievements for the Qin army's southern and northern wars, and now he is dead here, so how can Li Xin face Qin Wang Yingzheng, and the old general Meng Fu who has died in battle?
Li Xin took off his helmet, crossed the arrow bush, and walked to Meng Wu's side, he looked at Meng Wu who was still holding the sword in his hand to death and maintaining a killing posture, his eyes widened angrily, Li Xin could still feel a sense of death at this time.
Li Xin closed Meng Wu's eyes and wanted to take the sword out of his hand, but no matter how hard he used, Meng Wu's hand holding the sword would not let go. Li Xin gave up taking the sword from Meng Wu's hand, he stood up and looked at the Qin soldiers who had followed him for many years around Meng Wu, and said: "General Meng Wu's death in battle is a great loss for my Qin State. ”
"General, let's fight to the death with the Chu army, we are willing to avenge General Meng Wu!" Meng Wu's subordinates did not want Meng Wu to die in vain, and they all asked Ying to fight to the death with the Chu army.
Li Xin looked at the excited soldiers, and he said loudly: "General Meng died in battle, and the general is as sad as you, but maybe Xiang Yan's old man has already laid an ambush and is waiting for us to avenge General Meng." At this time, it is never a good thing to go to a decisive battle with the Chu army, can you understand?" 3a reading network
Li Xin's words dispelled the thoughts of those soldiers who wanted to avenge Meng Wu, and everyone silently put away Meng Wu's body, and then the Qin army retreated to Nanjun, hanging up the battle exemption card, and the situation in Chu was finally alleviated.
Meng Tian arrived at Yingchen, arranged the 50,000 Mengjia troops he brought, and then asked Meng Li to take people to inquire about the situation of the Chu army, so as to facilitate how he and his father would attack the Chu army next.
On the first day of Meng Tian's arrival in Yingchen, he learned a news in Yingchen City, that is, the sect master of the Guigu Sect was nearby. The last time Meng Tian met Wang Yun, he gave Meng Tian a Zhengang sword, and it was this Zhengang sword that allowed him to gain the upper hand in the competition when facing Jing Ke, who was protecting Han Fei, and finally defeated Jing Ke and forced Han Fei to commit suicide. If he was able to meet this sect master senior this time, Meng Tian would definitely thank him for his gift of the sword.
So Meng Tian sent someone to inquire about the whereabouts of the sect master of the Ghost Valley, and after a while, someone came back to report to Meng Tian. It turned out that in addition to teaching disciples in the valley for part of his time, this Sect Master of Guigu spent more time traveling between the six countries, and it has always been the beginning and not the end of the dragon, and the reason why the trace was released this time was only recognized by an old man who had been treated by the Sect Master of Guigu. Meng Tian's people easily found this old man, and learned the specific location of the Sect Master of Guigu through the mouth of this old man.
Meng Tian changed his armor, put on a regular robe, took a Zhengang sword and gifts, and went to visit the area where the Sect Master of Guigu was located.
Meng Tian led the people to the place where the old man said that the Sect Master of the Ghost Valley was, and before he could knock on the door, the door opened automatically.
The door was opened by a boy of about seven or eight years old, wearing two menaches and dressed in extremely simple clothes. After seeing some people standing outside the door who looked a little fierce and vicious, he said to the big brother in front of him, who was still a little kind: "The teacher already knows that you have arrived, and he specially ordered me to come to greet you, and invite you to come in." ”
"Is your teacher the senior of the Ghost Valley Sect Master, little brother?" Meng Tian asked with a smile.
However, the little boy who opened the door ignored him, and after opening the door to Meng Tian, he walked towards the courtyard. Seeing that he ignored him, Meng Tian was not angry, and ordered his subordinates to place the gifts in the courtyard and leave, so he followed the little boy into the hut in the courtyard from behind.
The Sect Master of the Ghost Valley in the thatched hut was making tea, and when he saw Meng Tian coming in, he beckoned him to sit down.
"Senior Wang, Meng Tian is polite. For the master in front of him, Meng Tian admired it from the bottom of his heart, gave a formal salute in front of it, and then sat down.
"General Meng, I didn't expect to meet here again. Seeing the general's radiant face, I think that the general must have had a good life over the years. The Sect Master of Guigu poured a cup of tea for Meng Tian, and then said slowly.
Meng Tian picked up the hot tea in front of him, put it under his nose and sniffed the fragrance of the tea, and couldn't help but praise: "The tea of the predecessors is really delicious, I have never drunk this kind of tea in the palace, dare to ask what is the name of this tea?"
The Sect Master of Guigu smiled slightly, refilled a cup of tea for Meng Tian to drink the empty water cup, and then said: "This tea is a new variety that I just got here, and it has not yet been named, since General Meng thinks it is delicious, then drink more." ”
Meng Tian didn't continue to drink the second cup of tea, he said: "I didn't listen to the teachings of my predecessors last time, so I met Mr. here this time, Meng Tian made a special trip to ask for advice, and I hope that my predecessors will not blame." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, I, Wang Chan, have taught many people in my life, and since the general is willing to come to the door to ask for advice, the old man can't refuse. The general is a man of destiny, and the old man is willing to answer the general's questions. Ghost Valley Sect Master Wang Chan said.
Meng Tian knelt on the cushion, bowed to Wang Chan as a student, and then said: "Meng Tian didn't know that his predecessor was the patriarch of the Guigu Sect, and he was disrespectful. ”
Wang Chan is not surprised, he is originally a strange person, and he has always been indifferent to the affairs of the world. "The last time I met the general, the old man said a name, and the old man didn't expect to see the general again today, so it's no wonder the general. General Meng came this time, but he wanted to ask the old man about the general trend of the world?"
"Senior Mingjian, Meng Tian came this time, asked about this matter, and asked the senior to answer the kid's doubts. ”
There are very few records of Meng Wu's death in history, and I didn't find out the specifics, so I wrote it according to the plot I thought of.
