Qin State Chapter 228 Full of doubts
It turned out that as early as Wang Li confirmed the route back to Shangjun, he had already sent people to contact the Great Wall guards in Beidi County and asked them to send troops to respond.
Beidi County, Longxi County and Shang County are the three counties guarded by the Great Wall Guards, and there was originally a Jiuyuan County that was also guarded by the Great Wall Guards, but now that Jiuyuan is occupied by the Huns, the Great Wall Guards can't take time to recapture Jiuyuan for a while.
Looking at the Great Wall guards pouring out from all directions, Zhao Kuang was so shocked that he didn't dare to fight at all, so he turned around and was about to flee.
"Whoosh"
The Great Wall guards on the horse began to release arrows and horse archery, which was originally a stunt that only the grassland people could master, and after Li Qing invented the stirrup, the Great Wall guards could also master the horse archery skills proficiently.
"Ah~"
The soldiers of the Qin army led by Zhao Kuang were shot one by one, and under the attack of the guards of the Great Wall, they had no power to fight back.
The battle ended quickly, but after a few waves of arrow rain, the three thousand Qin troops were all wiped out, including Zhao Kuang, who died in the arrow rain.
"The last general, Ximendun, has seen General Meng."
Ximendun, the most resourceful of the four generals of the Montessori family, was looking at Meng Yi with a happy face at this time.
Meng Yi helped Ximendun up and said, "Ximen, if you hadn't arrived in time, Meng Yi would have been in danger." ”
Ximen Dun said with a smile: "The general Ji people have their own natural appearance, how can Zhao Kuang be injured by the general." ”
Beiyu and Nangong stepped forward to hug Ximendun, the three of them are old comrades-in-arms, although Beiyu and Nangong have left the Great Wall Guards for a long time, but it has not affected their relationship at all.
Meng Yi introduced Li Qing to Simendun and others, of course, Li Qing had already told Meng Yi not to let Meng Yi reveal his identity, so Meng Yi only introduced Li Qing as his brother, surnamed Li, and other than that, he didn't reveal much information.
The Great Wall guards cleared the battlefield and captured 2,000 horses and a number of armor arrows.
Ximendun smiled and said to Meng Yi: "It's not as good as before, Xianyang has cut off our supplies, so we can only save a little, no, in order to save food, we will go out every one or two months to go on a safari and grab some cattle and sheep back as food." ”
Seeing that his subordinates were looting the loot, Ximendun looked a little ugly, and hurriedly explained to Meng Yi.
Meng Yi nodded in understanding, and then asked the doubts in his heart: "Ximen, who is the commander of the Great Wall Guards now?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Ximendun and Wang Li's faces became a little strange, the two glanced at each other, and finally Ximendun spoke: "Before the general left, he ordered that the commander of the Great Wall Guards should be succeeded by General Meng Yi. ”
"Me?"
A trace of shock flashed in Meng Yi's eyes, Meng Yi had always had doubts about Meng Tian's death, after hearing this, Meng Yi knew that his eldest brother's death was definitely not as simple as it seemed.
Meng Yi knew that now was not the time to ask more, and Simendon also told Meng Yi that everything would be known when Meng Yi arrived in Shangjun.
Shangjun, when Meng Yi saw that familiar figure, he almost suspected that his eyes were spent, and he rubbed his eyes hard, and finally made sure that he was not mistaken, and two lines of tears suddenly welled up in Meng Yi's eyes.
Meng Ying couldn't help it at all, and threw herself into that person's arms.
Meng Tian! Isn't he dead?
Li Qing looked at Meng Tian in a daze, his heart was full of questions, that's right, what appeared in front of Li Qing's eyes was actually Meng Tian, who was rumored to have killed himself in the outside world.
The three brothers and sisters hugged each other and cried, and after a while, Meng Tian calmed Meng Ying's emotions.
Meng Yi told Meng Tian about Li Qing, Meng Tian's eyes became a little strange when he looked at Li Qing, but he didn't say anything, especially after seeing Meng Ying's attitude towards Li Qing, Meng Tian's eyes when he looked at Li Qing were more cordial.
The four of them entered the camp tent, Meng Tian looked at Li Qing and the other three, and said: "I know you have a lot of questions, in fact, I also have a lot of questions, the change came too suddenly, first Zhao Gao sent someone to send the edict of the first emperor, let the prince of Fusu hang himself, and also sent a few people to take over the Great Wall guards, but fortunately, there is Li Qing's tips, and the prince did not fall for the traitor's plan." ”
When Li Qing heard this, he said: "But it is rumored by the outside world that Fusu Gongzi is dead, could it be that he, like you, is also a fraud death?" ”
Meng Tian nodded solemnly and said, "We cheated to death because of an edict from the First Emperor sent by the "Rebellion". ”
"The First Emperor's Edict?"
When Li Qing, Meng Yi and the others heard this, they all showed surprised expressions.
Meng Tian nodded and said: "At the beginning, after we saw through Zhao Gao's treacherous plan and killed the assassin who was about to assassinate me, we were going to directly attack Xianyang, but at this moment, we sent an edict from the First Emperor, which told me to let the two of us cheat to death, but we should continue to be in charge of the Great Wall Guards, and also ordered us that no matter what happened before we got the next edict, the Great Wall Guards were not allowed to leave the Great Wall one step. ”
Li Qing had huge doubts in his heart, in history, many people felt strange, why Liu Bang and Xiang Yu would destroy Qin so smoothly, why did not Zhao Tuo's South Vietnamese Army or the Great Wall Guards sent a single soldier to participate in the war, it turned out that there was such a reason, since the First Emperor gave an edict to Meng Tian, then Zhao Tuo in South Vietnam, did he also receive the same edict?
Li Qing didn't see Fusu, because Fusu had already gone deep into the desert with a group of soldiers and horses to train soldiers, but Li Qing found the fishermen in the fishing village and Li Python, and also met Nie Jing.
When Nie Jing saw Li Qing, he couldn't help crying: "Master, eldest brother, I got the news that you are dead, and I hate to die with you." ”
Li Qing looked at the crying Nie Jing, and couldn't help but think of Huang Meng, who died in battle, his eyes were red, and he couldn't help but shed tears.
After Li Qing stayed in Shangjun for half a month, he said goodbye to Meng Tian and the others, and he was ready to go to Beifeng Mountain to pay tribute to Huang Meng.
Meng Ying wanted to go with Li Qing, but Li Qing refused, Li Qing was worried that Qing would find him one day sooner or later, and he didn't want to involve Meng Ying.
In addition to Qing, Li Qing also rejected Nie Jing and Li Python's request to go with Li Qing, and Li Qing was ready to go on the road alone to explore the doubts in his heart.
"Everyone, stay and we'll see you later."
Li Qing arched his hand to Meng Tian and the others who came to see him off, then glanced at Meng Ying deeply, turned the horse's head, and beat the horse in the direction of Xianyang.
Meng Ying's eyes welled up with tears, and she shouted loudly at Li Qing's back: "I will wait for you here, if you don't come back for a day, I won't leave for a day." ”
When Li Qing heard this, his body paused slightly, resisted the desire to turn back, shook the whip in his hand, and slapped the war horse under his crotch fiercely.
