157 Buried

After Zhao Cong changed Huan Qi and returned to Yecheng with the corpses of Huan Qi and Meng Wu, Li Ling immediately made a decision that no one expected.

Only Yecheng was kept, and the remaining seven cities were all returned to Zhao to thank Li Mu for sending back the body of General Mengwu.

"Do you really think you can hold these seven cities?"

Seeing that a group of people were still indignant about their decision, Li Ling directly questioned Zhongyuan.

"I approve of the boss's approach, but I think there should be traps in these seven cities, even if the Zhao army receives the city, it can't be so smooth."

Wang Jian is the only one who agrees with Li Ling, as Li Ling said, these seven cities seem to be a lot, and they are all exchanged for the sacrifice of the soldiers of the Qin army, but in the face of hundreds of thousands of main forces of the Zhao army, in addition to increasing casualties, the final result was still taken by the Zhao army.

Now it is the beginning of the loss of the Zhao State, but the Qin army can no longer afford to lose, so it is better to give up than to fight to the death, leaving only one Yecheng.

The geographical location of Yecheng is more important than the other seven cities, and the city is stronger, as long as Yecheng is defended, then this attack on Zhao will not be a loss.

"Don't do this, this is at most to make Zhao Jun a little troublesome, and it is useless, on the contrary, do you think Yecheng's lesson is not enough? If we do this, then we will attack Zhao in the future, and all the cities of Zhao will adopt this method, and we will fight until what year and month will we go? ”

After making a plan, Li Ling directly handed over the task of negotiation to Wang Qian, and then sent someone to search for Xiong Qi's whereabouts, and he directly escorted Meng Wu's body with a team of 100 people without waiting for the result of the negotiation to prepare to return to Xianyang.

"Boss, this is a long way to go, you should do some processing of General Meng's body first, otherwise... Otherwise, when I get to Xianyang, I'm afraid... I'm afraid ......"

Just before leaving, a soldier suddenly found Li Ling.

But if you want to save the body, how can it be so easy?

Ice cube? Where did Li Ling go to find ice cubes at this time?

Mercury?

Come on, that thing is highly poisonous, Li Ling doesn't want to wait all the way back to Xianyang, the escort team has died due to mercury poisoning.

In the end, Li Ling had to collect methods in the whole city, and it was not until he was delayed for half a day that Li Ling took Meng Wu's body and set foot on the road back to Xianyang.

A temporary coffin was made, and Meng Wu's body was placed inside, and then a piece of jade pendant was stuffed into Meng Wu's mouth, and the entire coffin was filled with various spices.

It sounds like it's a joke, but Li Ling really has no other way, this is a plan given by a few veterans, and it is said to be feasible.

In this way, a team of 100 people directly pulled Meng Wu's coffin and embarked on the journey back to Xianyang.

Along the way, the aroma was overflowing, but the mood of the soldiers was unusually heavy.

This way was very slow, a full eight days, before reaching Hangu Pass, and when he arrived at Hangu Pass, Li Ling also received a message from Wang Jian that Li Mu was willing to make a truce between the two countries, but the specific details may take a long time.

After resting for a long time while sheltering from the rain in Hangu Pass, he sent someone to check Meng Wu's corpse, and found that this seemingly useless plan could really have an antiseptic effect, and Meng Wu's corpse did not change in any way, and it was almost the same as when he left Yecheng.

The rain stopped, and we set off again.

Finally, after another six days, the team arrived in Xianyang City.

"Father!"

At the gate of Xianyang City, Meng Tian and Meng Yi rushed directly to the coffin and cried.

"Welcome General Mengwu into the city!"

Ordered someone to help up the two brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi, accompanied by the sound of the horn on the city wall, Li Ling and Ying Zheng in front, Meng Tian and Meng Yi in the back, and helped the coffin into the city together!

Entering the city, the coffin arrived at the Mongolian mansion, and the imperial physician ordered Xia Wuhe to personally arrange the coffin for Mengwu, and then placed the coffin in the mourning hall to receive sacrifices.

After learning that Meng Wu died in battle, the tomb that began to be excavated for it was officially completed on the second day after Meng Wu's body arrived in Xianyang, because Meng Wu died for too long, even if antiseptic measures were taken along the way, but the body still began to rot and stink, and after only one night of wake, it was decided to bury immediately.

In the huge burial chamber, Mengwu's coffin is placed in the center, and forty-one sets of battle armor are placed around the coffin, Mengwu died at the age of forty-one, and there are twenty-six bronze long swords outside the battle armor, and Mengwu has been in the army for twenty-six years.

The outermost layer is a collection of gold and silver objects, and lanterns are lit around the main burial chamber.

Outside the main tomb, there are two burial pits, which directly kill thirty Zhao slaves bought from Xianyang City and twelve war horses for burial.

Li Ling was very annoying about the burial of the living, but this time he did not stop it.

The first is that when he returns to Xianyang, all the agendas have been discussed, these slaves are already in place, and it is too late for Li Ling to stop them, and secondly, when he saw Meng Tian and Meng Yi fainting from crying several times, Li Ling really didn't want to have any more trouble.

"Master, you tell Zheng'er, this Zhao State, can Zheng'er still be destroyed?"

After sending away the letter sent by Wang Jian to ask Ying Zheng to cover the jade seal, Ying Zheng directly inquired about Li Ling.

Wang Jian negotiated with Li Mu to defend Yecheng and give up the other seven cities, but to Li Ling's surprise, he actually wanted to come to Anyang, as for the money, because the war did not distinguish the winner or loser, so it was not involved.

To put it bluntly, this peace talk, to outsiders, seems to outsiders to be the Qin State to exchange seven cities for one city, but Li Ling and Ying Zheng are very clear that if they are not exchanged, the consequences will be incalculable.

"Yes, but it's going to take a few years, at least not now."

Qin Zhao fought a battle and won two cities, but the Qin army not only lost tens of thousands of horses, Meng Wu had also been killed, Xiong Qi had not been found yet, life and death were unknown, and the fight was too miserable.

"Master, you just stay in Xianyang, since the master asked Zheng'er to wait, then Zheng'er will settle down and wait! When the time is ripe, Zheng'er will definitely destroy the Zhao State in one battle! ”

Judging from the battle report, let alone a few years, I'm afraid that Yingzheng will never want to win the Zhao State in his life, let alone destroy the Zhao State.

But Ying Zheng doesn't care at all, he is a king, the king will never admit defeat, as long as the king has even the slightest opportunity, he will go all out, seize this only opportunity, and create his own miracle!

"I will stay in Xianyang and prepare for the war, but at this time, it is time to invite Lu Buwei to come out, and I can't let him stay at home all the time to enjoy Qingfu, right?"

"Middle Father? Zheng'er understood! ”

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.
