Wang Chan listened to Meng Tian's words and smiled slightly. "In fact, the affairs of the world are naturally managed by the people of the world, why does General Meng Tian's powerful position today pay so much attention to the general trend of the world?"

Meng Tian was a little stunned, yes, now the world is all within the territory of Qin, compared to the Zhou Dynasty at the time of Zhou Tianzi, it is only big and not small, the only remaining Chu State and Qi State, one is in danger, the other is the fish and meat of Qin, what do you have to worry about.

"The general trend of the world is now in the hands of the Qin State, and the King of Qin is also a person protected by God, as long as he is diligent and thrifty, and does not expropriate and extort tyranny, the Qin State can naturally extend. If he wants to learn from that Xia Wei, the way of the king of Shang Xuan, heaven will not tolerate it, and the country will not be long-term. Wang Chan stroked his beard and said to Meng Tian.

Meng Tian felt that what Wang Chan said was very reasonable, but the king's affairs were not something he could calculate, but for Ying Zheng's style of acting and behaving, Meng Tian was very sure that Ying Zheng would not become the king of the country like Xia Wei Shang as Wang Chan said.

Seeing that Meng Tian agreed with what he said, Wang Chan continued: "In the final analysis, the affairs of the world still lie in the word people's hearts, and the people of the world have suffered from hundreds of years of war, and now the reign of King Yingzheng of Qin can dominate the world is naturally the trend of the times and the will of heaven. For example, the princes today are only Chu and Qi. The state of Chu relied on Xiang Yan to lead the army to make the final resistance, and the state of Qi was nothing more than a group of cowardly people, and it can be said that it was the decline of these princes that made the Qin state the head of the world. General Meng Tian only needs to assist King Yingzheng of Qin with peace of mind and let him treat the subjects of the world well, and the Qin State will naturally last for a long time. If Yingzheng implements a violent government, the Qin State will die in the third generation. ”

Wang Chan's words made Meng Tian remember them, and he would definitely forward these words to Ying Zheng after he returned to Xianyang. Meng Tian had already taken the words of his predecessors to heart, and after returning to Xianyang, Meng Tian said to the king. ”

"Hehe, just follow the general. Today I happened to get a hexagram, it is about the general, I don't know whether to talk about it or not?"

Wang Chan is the first strange person today, his words Meng Tian naturally believed, seeing that he said that it was about his own hexagram, Meng Tian became interested. "Senior, please speak. ”

Wang Chan said: "Yesterday, the old man watched the sky at night, and there was a displacement of the stars, most of which were signs of falling, and the general was asked to take care." ”

The Fallen Elephant? Is it still related to himself? Meng Tian thought for a moment, he had not fought with the Chu army yet, and if someone died in battle, it would not happen to him. As for his father's side, with the protection of 200,000 Qin troops by his side, there should be no danger. But Wang Chan's words made him have to believe that this senior with unpredictable abilities should not tell lies.

Looking at the ever-changing expression on Meng Tian's face, Wang Chan said with a smile: "If the general doesn't believe it, you can go back and wait for a day or two, and there will be news." The secret of heaven must not be revealed, and the old man cannot say much. ”

"Thank you for the teachings of your predecessors, Meng Tian is grateful. ”

I came back from Wang Chan, just in time for Mengli to inquire about the news. Meng Tian asked Meng Li about the battle situation of the Chu army, and Meng Li said to Meng Tian: "General, the Chu army has already transferred most of its military strength to the Nanjun side to fight against General Li and General Meng's army at this time, and now there is no other obstacle in front of us except for tens of thousands of Chu troops on the Yangtze River. ”

"But our soldiers and horses have never practiced water warfare, and if we fight against the Chu army on the water, we will definitely suffer. This kind of battle can't be fought, so let's stay here for the time being, and wait until the news comes from my father's side, and then we will fight the Chu army. ”

From Yingchen to Nanjun of Qin State, it takes six or seven days to go back and forth on the road, and even if it is to use carrier pigeons to transmit military information, it will take two to three days, so Meng Tian had to wait for news from Nanjun in Yingchen.

Five days later, before the people who went to Nanjun could hear the news, the news from Xianyang arrived.

The news of Xianyang is not good news, and there is only one sentence on the edict: Mengwu died in battle. After Meng Tian received the edict, his eyes went dark and he fell straight backwards.

By the time Meng Tian woke up, it was already late at night. Meng Tian saw Meng Li, Xue Bin and others gathered around his bedside, he started from the bed, when he thought of the news of his father's death in battle, there was a sharp pain in his heart, he didn't expect Wang Chan's words to be so accurate, but it was his father who came true.

"General, take care of yourself. ”

"Yes, General, the Mengjia Army still needs to be led by the general. All our brothers are ready, as long as the general gives the order, we will go to slaughter Xiang Yan's old boy, and use his head to pay tribute to General Mengwu's spirit in the sky. "Reading the book nest

......

Meng Tian raised his hand to stop the words of his soldiers, he closed his eyes and said: "My father died in battle, it can be regarded as a well-deserved death, my grandfather, my father have used their lives to declare their loyalty to the Qin State and the king, and now my bedding The attack on the Chu State is also a defeat." Tomorrow, I will return to Xianyang to guard my father's spirit, and you will lead the army to continue to camp here, in case the Chu army takes advantage of the situation to attack again. ”

"General ......" Xue Bin, who had an impatient personality, wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Meng Li beside him.

Meng Li said: "I will obey the general's orders, but please also take care of the general's health." ”

"Brother Meng, and you, don't worry, my father's revenge is still waiting for me to avenge it, I'll be fine, you go down first." ”

After everyone left, Meng Tian covered himself in the quilt, and he tried to hold back his crying. When his grandfather Meng Wei died in battle, Meng Tian told himself to be strong, and now that his father died on the battlefield, Meng Tian still had to tell himself to be strong, and he wanted to avenge his father.

"Xiang Yan, I won't let you go. Meng Li, Xue Bin and the others, who had not gone far out, heard an angry roar behind them.

Early in the morning of the second day, the soldiers of the Mengjia army bid farewell to Meng Tian at the gate of Yingchen City. Meng Tian rushed back to Xianyang with dozens of pro-soldiers to guard the spirit of his father Meng Wu.

When Meng Tian returned home and saw his father's spiritual seat, Zi Yanran and his younger brother Meng Yi knelt in front of the spiritual seat, and his son Meng Tianci was also wearing filial piety clothes to guard his grandfather's spirit.

Meng Tian came back, but did not see his mother, and after asking, he learned that since his father's body was transported to Xianyang, his mother heard the bad news and then fell ill.

Meng Tian was hit again, and in just a few days, he lost his father and mother one after another, no matter how strong this person is, the grief of losing his parents is not so easy to persevere.

Now that he has suddenly become the eldest son in the family, and the funerals of his father and mother need to be taken care of by himself, Meng Tian stood up in the grief of losing his parents and managed the funeral.

Fortunately, Ying Zheng knew that the Meng family had suffered such a blow in just a few days, and Meng Tian and Meng Yi must have no intention of dealing with so many things, so he asked Li Si and Wei Yi to help the Meng family brothers, and at the same time built a martyr's shrine for the Meng family at the mausoleum of Meng Fu to commend the loyalty and courage of the Meng family.

The death of Meng Wu caused the Qin army that attacked the Chu State to lose a general, as well as nearly 100,000 troops, and it can be said that this attack on the Chu State was the largest loss of the Qin State in the past hundred years.

Yingzheng was furious, and he blamed it all on Li Xin's hubris. Because Li Xin boasted in front of him, saying that it only took 200,000 troops to destroy the state of Chu. Now, the 200,000 army has lost nearly half of it, not to mention, even the deputy commander of the army has been killed by the Chu army. Ying Zheng was furious, took back Li Xin's military power, and at the same time removed all his official positions, fortunately Meng Tian came forward to intercede for Li Xin, and Ying Zheng did not demote Li Xin to a civilian.

Xiang Yan led the Chu army to defeat the Qin army led by Li Xin and Meng Wu and fled, and also recovered a lot of Chu land north of the Yangtze River, which made the Chu people feel more lively than during the festival. All parts of the Chu country sang songs every night, and there were scenes of singing and dancing everywhere to celebrate the victory of the Chu army.

The Xiang family in Shouchun City, the guests have almost broken the threshold of the gate in the past few days, and everyone has come to the Xiang family to congratulate Xiang Yan who defeated the Qin army.

Xiang Yan also set up a banquet at home to thank the guests who came to congratulate, Xiang Yan raised a glass to everyone present at the banquet and said: "Today, I, Xiang Yan, led my Chu Guoerlang to defeat 200,000 Qin troops, which is enough to see that my Great Chu is about to usher in the day of great prosperity." If the Chu State wants to occupy this world, you have to ask me if the Chu people agree or not!"

"Grandpa is right! With my Xiang Yu here, the Qin Kingdom will not be able to win the world!" a slightly immature loud voice came.
