How so?

Looking at Li Shen, the king of Qin, who was surrounded by Zhou soldiers from afar, Qi Zhi could not hide the shock in his heart.

The soul of the rebel army, Li Shen, the king of Qin, was blocked by the Zhou army here?

What did he, King of Qin, Li Shen, come to Cai's Mountain for?

Qi Zhi really couldn't figure it out.

At this time, Li Shen, the king of Qin, gradually calmed down, looked at Cheng Yang, the commander of the Zhou army, and asked in disbelief, "Are you ......waiting?" How do you know that this king is in this Cai Mountain? Aren't you going to attack Wheat City? ”

"Humph!" Cheng Yang sneered and said lightly, "King Li Shen of Qin, do you think your abacus can be hidden from the acting military division?" ”

"Liu Qing?"

"Not bad! ――Military Master Liu Qing had long expected that you would be hiding in Cai's Mountain! Cheng Yang repeated what Liu Qing had persuaded him before, which was roughly similar to what Liu Qing told Xie An in the camp commander, but Li Shen's face turned even paler.

"Impossible, this can't ......" shook his head again and again, and Li Shen, the king of Qin, muttered, "This king will die in his own hands?" ”

"You're too cautious!" Glancing at Li Shen, the king of Qin, Cheng Yang said coldly, "You put your life and safety first in everything, have you ever thought that you would one day die under your own prudence?" ――You underestimate Liu Qing's military division too much! ”

"Liu Qing ......" Li Shen gritted his teeth and muttered Liu Qing's name, and said angrily and bitterly, "Once upon a time, this king knew that Liu Qing's little girl would be a big trouble for this king's henchmen...... I thought it was after the king won the ninety-five, and after she sat in Jiangnan, but I didn't want to, so I came to ...... so early."

"Winning the Ninth Five-Year Plan?" Cheng Yang snorted lightly and said coldly, "Less dreaming!" - Li Shen, you lost! ”

"Lost? This king still has more than 100,000 troops......"

"So what? You are in the hands of this general! Cheng Yang said lightly.

"......" glanced at Cheng Yang deeply. Qin King Li Shen chuckled and said, "What is this general's name?" If not, if you let this king go, this king will definitely repay you well in the future! ”

"Hey!" Rao is Chengyang was also amused by Li Shen, shook his head and said funny, "Death is coming." Still trying to convince General Ben? - Spare you? Even if General Ben agrees, the knife in General Ben's hand will not agree! ”

Li Shen's eyes showed a little anger when he heard this, and he gritted his teeth and scolded, "Fool who doesn't know how to lift, this king is the true son of heaven and the honor of the Ninety-Five!" ”

"General Ben only knows that you are a thief! It is not tolerated by the country, and the court is not tolerated! Looking at Li Shen coldly, Cheng Yang reprimanded in a deep voice, "Li Shen, the general you value." None of them are around, the matter has come to this, drop the weapons in your hands, this general can spare your life for the time being, and escort you back to the camp, otherwise you will ......"

"How else?!" Interrupting Cheng Yang's words sharply, Li Shen angrily reprimanded, "This king is the third son of the first emperor. Li Shen, the king of Qin, was the royal family of the Li clan of the Great Zhou. You wait for these slutty ministers, how dare you shout at this king? As he spoke, he slowly drew the saber from his waist.

"What do you want to do?" Cheng Yang's eyes flashed a little fiercely, and he said in a deep voice, "Li Shen, quickly drop the weapon in your hand." Otherwise, don't blame Cheng for being unkind! ”

"You're welcome?" Holding the blade in his hand and sneering, Li Shen gritted his teeth and scolded, "You dare to kill this king? ”

"Why don't you dare?" Licking his lips, Cheng Yang said with a sneer. "Previously, Tang Hao and Liao Li, the two generals of the Jizhou Army, had killed several vassal kings and made great achievements, but my Great Liang Army has not yet won the head of a prince, so my Great Liang Army has been compared, but ...... Tut-tut, the head of His Royal Highness King Qin is far more valuable than the head of the Nineteen Paths Anti-King! ――Would you like to try it? Try to see if General Ben has the guts to behead you, the King of Qin! ”

"You ......" Seeing the fierceness in Cheng Yang's eyes, Li Shen's face turned pale, and after staring at Cheng Yang fiercely for a while, he gritted his teeth and scolded, "You will never end well...... This king has a peerless fierce general thunder, if you dare to harm this king, he will definitely not spare you and wait! When the time comes, you will all die! ”

"Is this the last words of His Royal Highness King Qin?" Cheng Yang flashed the blade in his hand.

"Damn! Damn it! - This king is so ridiculous to lose the land......" After scolding a few times, Li Shen, the king of Qin, gradually calmed down, looked at Cheng Yang and said coldly, "How can this king's golden body die in the hands of you lowly people?" As he spoke, he slowly rested the blade of his sword on his neck.

"This king, you are waiting for you! - Waiting for you to be sent down one by one by the thunder! Gritting his teeth and scolding, Li Shen pulled the blade of his sword, and suddenly, blood splattered.

"Poof!" A corpse flipped to the ground.

Who would have thought that Li Shen, the dignified King of Qin, the soul of the rebel army, was forced to die by Chengyang of the Great Liang Army on the top of Cai's Mountain when he still held more than 100,000 troops in his hands.

"Whew, it's finally over...... "With a long sigh, Cheng Yang threw the war knife in his hand to his subordinates, after all, in his opinion, since Li Shen, the king of Qin, is dead, then this battle is over, and the rest is just the stubborn resistance of the remnants of the Qin Wangjun.

However, Qi Zhi in the distance was still immersed in unbelievable horror, because he never thought that Li Shen, the king of Qin, would die here.

Suddenly, he felt someone tap him on the shoulder, and when he looked up, Qi Zhi found that it was Cheng Yang who had forced Li Shen, the king of Qin, to death.

"Surprised? Li Shen, the king of Qin, is dead, and your plan won't work......"

Qi Zhi instinctively sensed that something was wrong, and subconsciously held the saber at his waist, but Cheng Yang grabbed his arm.

"It doesn't have to be this way!" Lowering his voice, Cheng Yang said lightly, "Cheng didn't mean to harm General Qi!" ”

Glancing at Cheng Yang deeply, he saw that although his eyes were cold, they were quite sincere, so he hesitated to let go of the hilt of his sword and said in a low voice, "Is it Her Royal Highness the Princess?" ”

"Not bad! -- The acting military division has already seen through your deception, but he has never said anything about the old feelings......"

"Didn't you say it?" Qi Zhi shook his head with a smile and said bitterly, "It's a plan, right?" - I kind of understand, she just used me as a pawn to calculate the Qin King Li Shen! With that, he simply sat down and said sarcastically, "What did she tell you to do with me?" ”

"What do you think?"

"Kill me with a knife? - No wonder you left my soldiers at the foot of the mountain...... Are you planning to let me die on the top of the mountain with the guards of Li Shen, the king of Qin? When I went back, I said that I Qi Zhi was careless for a while and was killed by the guards of Li Shen, the king of Qin. Right? ”

After taking a deep look at Qi Zhi, Cheng Yang squatted down and said in a low voice, "The acting military division just asked me to convey a word to you, and it's not ......too late to turn around now."

"What?" Qi Zhi looked up at Cheng Yang suspiciously.

"You and I have been given a great credit, haven't we?" He pointed to the corpse of Li Shen, the king of Qin, in the distance. Cheng Yang lowered his voice and said, "This is enough for you to be among my Zhou Jun, a real one!" ――Why do you think the Acting Military Division wants you to join the army and act with me? Isn't it just to give you a great merit so that the generals of the Great Liang Army can accept you? ”

"......" Qi Zhi was moved by the words and looked at Chengyang in disbelief.

"Just now you planned to draw a knife on Cheng, Cheng will act as if it never happened! ――Think about it! As the acting military division said, it's not too late to turn back now! He said. Sungyang patted Qi Sik on the shoulder and stood up.

"Wait......" shouted to Chengyang, Qi Zhi also hurriedly stood up, and after looking at Chengyang a few times, he suddenly clasped his fists and bowed.

"Thank you, General Cheng! ――Why did General Cheng help me? ”

"Help? No, I'm just a favor on behalf of the military division, and besides......" Glancing back at Qi Zhi, Cheng Yang said in a low voice. "The Acting Military Master doesn't want you to wait for any more losses......

“…… Be! With tears in his eyes, Qi Zhi respectfully hugged his fists.

Nodding. Cheng Yang turned around and beckoned to the soldiers in the distance and said, "Pass the order, collect the corpse of the anti-king Li Shen, and we will return to the main camp immediately!" ”

"Yes!"

Li Shen, King of Qin...... He's dead?!

When Cheng Yang and Qi Zhi brought the news back to Bingcheng, the main camp of the Zhou army, the entire camp was boiling.

And when Tang Hao, Liang Cheng, and Wang Huaisan rushed back to the camp after receiving the news from the Jinling assassins, the entire ice city became even more lively.

As Cheng Yang relayed Liu Qing's words. After seeing the corpse of Li Shen, the king of Qin, the generals of the Great Liang Army had significantly improved their attitude towards Qi Zhi. Of course, the main reason is that Cheng Yang, in order to repay Liu Qing's favor, said a lot of good things about Qi Zhi in front of his comrade-in-arms Tong Ze, saying that Cheng was fortunate that Qi Zhi was the first soldier. fought hard, and only then did he stop Li Shen, the king of Qin, who wanted to escape.

Because of this, the generals of the Great Liang Army who had been glaring at Qi Zhi angrily in the past actually made an exception and nodded to Qi Zhi to greet him this time, which made the latter faintly feel flattered.

If anyone is unhappy, I'm afraid it's Xu Le, another general of the Taiping Army, who stared at Qi Zhi in disbelief, making Qi Zhi a little uncomfortable.

"What the hell is this...... What the hell is going on?! ”

As soon as he returned to his residence, Xu Le grabbed Qi Zhi's shirt and questioned sharply.

"How do I know?!" Struggling to break free of Xu Le's hand, Qi Zhi said with some annoyance, "If you don't die, then Li Shen is in Cai's Mountain, and General Cheng will directly lead his troops to kill him, what can I do?!" ”

"General Cheng?" Even if Xu Le is dull, he will not be able to notice the change in Qi Zhi's name for Chengyang.

"......" Qi Zhi's face froze when he heard this, and after hesitating for a while, he sighed and said, "Actually, Her Royal Highness the Princess has already seen through my plan......" As he spoke, he told Xu Le everything he knew about Liu Qing's entire plan.

Different from Qi Zhi's reaction, Xu Le became more and more annoyed after hearing this, and scolded angrily, "Damn it! - She's still using us! ”

"Xu Le!" Qi Zhi snorted and said hesitantly, "I think Her Royal Highness the princess has done her best to treat me as benevolent......

"So what? Could it be that we have to wag our tail and beg for mercy from Zhou Jun? Speaking of this, Xu Le subconsciously looked at Qi Zhi and said in disbelief, "Qi Zhi, you don't plan to ......."

Gritting his teeth, Qi Zhi said in a deep voice, "Not bad! ――In my opinion, Her Royal Highness the princess is really benevolent and righteous to us, and if we continue to dwell on it, we will lose our benevolence and righteousness......"

"You guy!" Grabbing Qi Zhi's clothes, Xu Le was about to swing his fist, only to hear a noise outside the house, and the next moment, Cheng Yang pushed the door and walked in, just looking at a full eye.

"Qi Zhi, the order has been issued, use troops against Maicheng at dawn, you are still my deputy general, come to my tent when the time comes, and we will send troops together......" Ignoring Xu Le's actions, Cheng Yang said very calmly.

With a little anger breaking away from Xu Le's hand, Qi Zhi hugged his fist towards Chengyang. He said, "Yes, the last general obeys!" ”

"Well, that's it for now!" Nodding, Cheng Yang turned around and left the room.

Glancing at the back of Cheng Yang leaving, Xu Le had a slight sarcastic smile on his lips. sneered in a strange voice, "Yo, I can't see it, I'm already on the line with the general of the Great Liang Army, Vice General Qi!" ”

"......" Looking at Xu Le's mocking appearance, Qi Zhi's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm too lazy to explain to you!" With that, he slammed the door and left.

"Whew!" He spat hatefully at Qi Zhi's back. Xu Le smashed the table in front of him with a punch.

At the same time, in Xie An's handsome office, a large group of people were surrounding the corpse of Li Shen, the king of Qin, and congratulated Xie An with a happy face. It can be seen that the attitude of the generals of the Great Liang Army towards Liu Qing has also improved significantly.

"Okay, okay, let's stop, although Li Shen, the king of Qin, is dead, the rebel army still exists. If nothing goes wrong, the next few days. Our army will be attacked by the rebel army...... This matter will be described in detail by Liu Junshi! After calming the generals, Xie An turned his head and glanced at Liu Qing.

Liu Qing understood, nodded and said, "What Xie Shangshu said is true, this time our army can eradicate the primary enemy, King Li Shen. It's just because Li Shen is too cautious...... Although Li Shen died, there were still more than 100,000 rebel troops in the vicinity of Maicheng, especially the general who sat in Maicheng, and our army had not completely won this battle. Don't slack off......"

Our?

Xie An, who noticed Liu Qing's words, couldn't help but chuckle, and the laughter alarmed Liu Qing, making this young strategist with thousands of wisdom in his chest frown slightly.

"What are you laughing at?" Liu Qing asked with some displeasure.

Xie An grinned and said seriously, "This government just thinks that what Liu Qing said is conclusive, and our army must not slack off because of this!" ――Are you right? ”

"Yes, yes!"

"What your lord said is very ...... Well, that's what the military advisor said! ”

"Adults and military advisors are all saying the truth!"

The generals in the house echoed one after another, making the whole room a little chaotic.

At this time, Liu Qing also seemed to realize the language problem in this sentence, and glared hatefully at Xie An, who deliberately poked her lungs, and a little blush appeared on her face. After all, she just said that Zhou Jun was our army without paying attention.

Does this mean that she gradually has a sense of belonging to Zhou Jun?

"Anyway!" Glaring at Xie An fiercely, Liu Qing raised his voice and said, "Use troops against Maicheng at dawn, and when the time comes, sacrifice Li Shen's head, as well as Li Yan, the king of Chu, and Li Xiao, the king of Han, hang the heads of these three kings in front of the city, I think, it will definitely be able to cause a great impact on the rebel army!" -- The best situation is that the rebel army is weakened by this, and our army can end the war without blood; But it is also possible to be frantically retaliated by the White Water Army under the command of Li Shen, the King of Qin, whose White Water Army is the general of the thunder, which is not inferior to Brother Chen...... No, it is a peerless fierce general who is not inferior to Liang Qiu Hao, if this person insists on ...... with me because of Li Shen's death If our army continues to fight, then this battle is far from over! As she spoke, Liu Qing glared at Xie An fiercely again, who told him to grin and snicker when she said about our army.

"Yes!" A response rang out neatly in the room. I have to say that compared with the last few military meetings, Liu Qing's prestige in the army has been significantly higher.

At dawn on November 7, the fourth year of Jingzhi of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Xie An personally led the army to leave the ice city, marched towards Maicheng, and arrived at the foot of Maicheng at noon on the same day.

I have to say that when the Zhou army sacrificed the heads of the three kings, Li Shen, the king of Qin, Li Yan, the king of Chu, and Li Xiao, the king of Han, the exclamations on the upper floor of Maicheng City rang out.

After all, this turmoil was originally provoked by the three kings, and now, the three kings have been killed one after another, is this battle still going on?

This is probably the doubt in the hearts of many rebel soldiers.

"......" On the tower of Maicheng City, the general of the White Water Army, Zhen Lei, frowned and looked at the corpse of Li Shen, the king of Qin under the city.

From the side, a general's face was as white as earth, and he said tremblingly, "General...... General, Your Highness...... How could His Highness ...... This, how can this be good? ”

"What's the panic?" Standing on top of the Maicheng City Tower with his hands on his back, Thunder said lightly, "Your Highness's lifelong wish is to be the position of the Son of Heaven of the Great Zhou...... Even if His Highness is gone, there is still His Highness's son and little son, isn't it? ”

"This ......" The generals around looked at each other, but it was undeniable that the words of the thunder did make the impetuous minds of the generals gradually calm down.

"But General, the remains of His Highness have fallen into the hands of the Zhou army, which is probably a huge blow to our army! -- If we don't think of a way, when the morale of the sergeants and soldiers is exhausted, my army will probably collapse without a fight! ”

"That's it......" Glancing at a general of the Zhou army who was still shouting under the city to persuade the defenders in the city to surrender, Thunder raised his hand and said, "Bring the bow!" ”

Hearing this, he immediately handed over his bow and arrow.

After taking the bow and arrow, the thunder pulled the bow, and the three-stone bow was almost pulled for a full moon, only to hear a whoosh, and could not see the trajectory of the arrow at all, and the general under the city was suddenly hit by an arrow, and the arrow passed through his mouth, penetrated the head, and was killed instantly.

What eyesight, what wrist strength!

"Hiss ......" was caught off guard, and Zhou Jun sounded a gasping sound.

Throwing the bow to his subordinates, the thunder took a deep breath, and shouted at the Zhou army under the city, "At noon tomorrow, my generation will command 60,000 Baishui troops to the main camp of your Zhou army to greet the body of my lord, and those who block me will ...... People block and kill, and God blocks and kills God! ”

The domineering words were like nine days of thunder, and many Zhou soldiers under the city turned on their backs.

"Array...... Thunder! Thunder! Thunder! ”

On the upper floor of Maicheng City, the morale of the rebel soldiers was boosted, and they raised their arms and shouted, and the limelight overshadowed the Zhou army for a while.

It may be that the thunder has made a promise, or it may be that taking into account this peerless general who is comparable to Liang Qiuhao, the Zhou army finally retreated temporarily.

Seeing this, Thunder also returned to his residence on the castle tower to prepare weapons and armor.

"How's it going?"

Strangely, a voice sounded in the corner of the house.

Glancing at the corner, Thunder said lightly, "It's finally stabilized temporarily......

"That's good...... In the next few days, I will rely on you to preside over the overall situation, my general of the White Water Army, thunder! ”

"Hmm! - However, my generation still does not like to be deceived like this! ”

"This king understands, this king understands ......"

As he spoke, a figure walked out of the corner, dressed as a prince and nobleman, gentle and elegant, with an extraordinary temperament, looking at his face, it turned out to be ......

Li Shen, King of Qin! (To be continued......)
