"I really didn't expect that you would have the courage to wait for this king to come to you!

After a stick of incense, in the highest fourth-floor attic in the official residence of the city guard of Xiangyang City, Li Cheng, the king of Anling, finally met the enemy he had been thinking about killing his brother for the past three years, Li Shen, the king of Qin.

I saw that in front of Li Cheng, Li Shen, the king of Qin, sat alone behind the desk, drinking and enjoying alone, and he couldn't see the fate of His Royal Highness the third son of the emperor who was about to be doomed and defeated and killed.

Facing Li Cheng's murderous face, King Qin Li Shen was unexpectedly calm, glanced at it, and said lightly, "This king didn't expect that you, a brute, would go upstairs alone to meet this king...... What about the Dragon Guard? ”

It may be that he has the right to kill Li Shen, the king of Qin, and Li Cheng is not in a hurry to kill his brother's revenge, so he slowly walked to the window, looked at the Zhou soldiers and people who quickly withdrew from Xiangyang in the streets and alleys of the city, and said lightly, "Don't worry, whether it is the Zhou soldiers or Long Nuwei, or the people of Xiangyang City, this king has ordered all the armies to leave Xiangyang ・・・・・・."

As he was talking, suddenly there were bursts of exclamations and shouts from the alleys outside the window, and Li Cheng, the king of Anling, glanced at the window a few times, and looked indifferently at the number of fires in the city for some reason.

"Well, as a burial place, Xiangyang is a dragon's lair that gathers aura!" Nodding, Li Cheng, the king of Anling, said slowly, giving people the illusion that he seemed to be on the side of Li Shen, the king of Qin.

"Humph!" Li Shen, the king of Qin, chuckled lightly when he heard this, and said in a tone that sounded shocking in a tone that sounded shocking, and said, "Oh, have you even seen through this king's tricks, old five?" ”

“… Li Cheng, King of Anling, glanced at Li Shen and said coldly, "After being cautious for more than 20 years, in the end, do you plan to try the madness of the King of Shang?" - It's a pity that the Zhou soldiers under Xie An still have to rush to Jiangdong to stabilize my Great Zhou Li clan, and I can't tolerate bad things for you! ”

"Oh?" A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of Li Shen, the king of Qin, and he said with a smile, "Since when has the fifth child been like the eighth child, and what kind of Great Zhou Sheji and Li family have been talking about all the time?" ―That's not quite what you villain! ”

"......," Li Cheng, King of Anling, frowned in displeasure.

"Ahh As if he had guessed Li Cheng's thoughts, Li Shen, the king of Qin, laughed, stared at Li Cheng with both eyes, and gritted his teeth and said, "You Li Cheng are a villain!" - There is no more bastard villain in the world than you! -- Killing kings, fathers, brothers, mothers, roommates, cannibalism, what else you can't do? ”

The Qin king Li Shen actually refers to the biological mother of their three kings, after all, Li Shen and Li Chengnai are half-brothers, and according to the Great Zhou etiquette, Li Shen's mother is also Li Cheng's mother in terms of generation. However, Li Cheng killed the biological mothers of his three brothers in a cruel way, which is an absolutely unforgivable sin as far as the world is concerned.

"Avenge my brother?" The corners of his mouth raised a sneer, and King Li Shen of Qin said disdainfully, "You Li Cheng are also qualified to say this?" - Don't forget, I was the one who wanted to take your brother and replace myself, but it was you who was the fifth, Li Cheng! ”

“… ・・・" The muscles in the corners of Anling's eyes were tugged, and it could be seen that the words of Li Shen, the king of Qin, really pierced the deepest wound in his heart.

As if seeing the unnaturalness of Li Cheng's face, Qin King Li Shen had a somewhat hearty sneer on his face, and said heartily, "Did this king kill the former crown prince Li Wei?" Ah, it is undeniable that it was indeed the king's shadow guard who ordered the crossbowmen who were ambushed in the palace of the emperor's bedroom to shoot Li Wei, and besides, he was originally going to shoot you with you・・・・・・ but who gave this king this opportunity? - It's not someone else, it's you, the most trusted brother of your former crown prince Li Wei! It was you who single-handedly led the usurpation of the throne and pushed your good imperial brother into the fire pit! ”

"Shut up!" Li Cheng, the king of Anling, reprimanded angrily, staring at Li Shen, the king of Qin, with a pair of eyes full of murderous intent, and his hands also subconsciously pulled out half of the sword in his hand.

"Humph!" With a sneer, Qin King Li Shen didn't seem to be intimidated by Li Cheng's threatening expression at all, and mocked with disdain, "Do you think that by pushing everything on this king's head, you can return to the beginning?" Be your good brother again? No way! ――Do you want this king to reveal? This king wants to say! It's you, it's you who killed your brother! Lost all the good situation in which your brother Li Wei was in power at that time, and cheapened Xiaojiu Li Shou for nothing・・・・・・"

Li Cheng, the king of Anling, was furious when he heard this, and he pulled out the sword in his hand with a bang, but after half a sound, the annoyance and anger on his face retreated cleanly, and he raised his head and laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Qin King Li Shen frowned and said.

I saw Li Cheng holding a sword in his right hand, holding his forehead with his left hand, laughing on his back and only trembling with laughter, laughing for a long time, he slowly put away his laughter, looked at King Qin Li Shen shook his head and said, "It's really worthy of being the third emperor brother!" -- Do you still find a way to calculate this king? With a sentence of heart-wrenching words, even if this king kills you, it is rare to be happy, right? ”

Hearing this, King Qin Li Shen frowned again. As Li Cheng, the king of Anling, said, Li Shen, the king of Qin, did not think about escaping this time, even if he knew that the general trend was gone, he did not want to escape anymore. Because he had lost everything he could, but there were a few things he had to do before he died.

Among them, using heart-wrenching words to disintegrate the obsession in the heart of Li Cheng, the king of Anling, so that even if this bastard kills him, it will be difficult to get the slightest pleasure of revenge, on the contrary, it will fall into endless pain.

But the widow is that Li Shen, the king of Qin, still underestimated the obsession and consciousness of the fifth master, after all, Wulai never thought of returning to the imperial tomb alive.

"You're right!" Li Cheng, the king of Anling, who had calmed down, looked at his third emperor brother Li Shen indifferently, and said calmly in a hysterical tone, "This king is indeed not qualified to avenge the imperial brother, and with the help of the righteousness of revenge for killing his brother, this is indeed a scandalous matter that cannot be put on the table!" ―How do you think of you Li Shen, whether it is forgiveness or revenge, that is the matter of the imperial brother, what this king wants to do is to send you to see the imperial brother! ”

・・・・・・丨

“… King Li Shen of Qin narrowed his eyes as he found that the poisonous trick he used to deal with Li Cheng at the end seemed to have no effect in the slightest.

丨In that case・・・・・・ 丨

Glancing at the sword inlaid with Kui Bao and jade on the table, Qin King Li Shen drew out the blade and slowly stood up.

"Yes, yes, yes!" As if he understood the thoughts of Li Shen, the king of Qin, Li Cheng, the king of Anling, had a crazy look in his eyes, licked his lips and said, "A little less serious and sanctimonious instigation... If this king wants to kill you, you will kill this king, you and I will inevitably be difficult to coexist between heaven and earth, and this alone is enough! - In this way, it is not in vain that the king refused the intention of his cousin Li Yan to accompany him and go upstairs alone! ”

"Oh? Really? Qin King Li Shen's eyes flashed with a strange color, and he said coldly, "You seem to have a chance to win, Old Five!" ――Do you really think you've seen everything? ”

"Isn't it?" Li Cheng, the king of Anling, said with a sneer, but for some reason, there was a faint uneasiness in his heart.

"Humph!" Qin King Li Shen snorted coldly and said lightly, "Look out the window!" ”

“… ·・・" Glancing at Li Shen, the king of Qin, he glanced out the window, only to see that the streets outside the window were still on fire, and he really couldn't see anything wrong.

Wait, this fire...... 丨

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of Li Cheng, King of Anling. Because it is true that he found that there were indeed more than a dozen fires burning in Xiangyang City, and the fires were also extremely ferocious, but those dozen fires alone were not enough to burn down the entire Xiangyang City. You must know that Xiangyang City is the most prosperous and huge city in Jingzhou, how could the entire city be burned down because of more than a dozen fires?

Scammed...... 丨

Li Cheng, the king of Anling, chuckled in his heart, he originally thought that Li Shen, the king of Qin, was very desperate and wanted to burn down the entire city, but now, it was not at all what he thought.

"They're all out, aren't they?" As if he had seen through the mind of Li Cheng, the king of Anling, Li Shen, the king of Qin, sneered and said, "I thought that this king would secretly order the burning of the city, and I was afraid that the Zhou soldiers and the dragon slave guards would all die in the fire, so I ordered him to leave the city in advance, right?" In other words, most of the 100,000 Zhou soldiers under Xie An's command must be outside the city at this moment, right? ”

“… Li Cheng, the king of Anling, was silent, and after staring at Li Shen, the king of Qin, his eyes were full of suspicion.

"Uh-huh!" Shaking his head, Li Shen, the king of Qin, said lightly: "Even Xie An and Liu Qing don't dare to underestimate the strategy of this king, how can you dare to say that you have seen through everything?" As he spoke, he raised his head, looked at Li Cheng and said with a strange smile, "From now on, from Xiangyang to Xiakou, it is called Xiangjiang." The northwest of Xiangjiang River, called Danshui, Danshui from north to south, there are more than 20 branches, to the waters near Xiangyang convergence, so the water flow here is turbulent, spring, summer, autumn three seasons from time to time to never mention...... Most of the 100,000 Zhou soldiers under Xie An's command must be outside Xiangyang City right now, right? In the last sentence, Li Shen, the king of Qin, asked again, and the meaning was self-evident.

"So what?" Li Cheng, the king of Anling, sneered when he heard this, and said disdainfully, "It's winter right now, and the rivers are frozen, how can you use it if you want to use water?" ”

"So Old Five, your vision is still too small...... "Qin King Li Shen chuckled and shook his head, and suddenly said lightly, "Ling Xun, have you heard of it?" ”

―At the same time, outside the east gate of Xiangyang---

"Returned? Why?! ”

Xie An, the commander of the Zhou army, asked Fei Guo, Ma Dan, Zhang Dong, Liao Li and other generals suspiciously, knowing that his Zhou soldiers had obviously entered the city, and they could solve the traitor Li Shen at a glance, but something happened that made him shocked and angry.

The Zhou soldiers, who had obviously invaded the city, actually withdrew again・・・・・・

"What the hell is going on?!" Xie An was really a little angry.

"Your Excellency!" Seeing Xie An's angry face, Fei Guo, the commander of the Jizhou army, stood up and explained, "It's not that the last general and others are disobedient and disrespectful, in fact, it is the retreat order issued by His Royal Highness King Anling."

Father? 丨

Xie An was stunned, because he couldn't understand why Li Cheng, the king of Anling, gave such an unbelievable order.

But after a while, he understood, because he learned from the mouth of the Zhou soldiers who had withdrawn from Xiangyang one after another, that Li Shen, the king of Qin, saw that the general situation had gone, and actually planned to set fire to the city, and ordered the remaining Baishui soldiers to set fire to various places in the city. At that time, the Zhou soldiers were busy chasing down those stand-ins of Li Shen, the king of Qin, and by the time they reacted, the fire had already become difficult to extinguish. Therefore, the generals of the various Zhou had no choice but to obey the orders conveyed by the Longnu guards who came to report the news, and withdrew from Xiangyang one after another.

"Is there such a thing?! - How can this be true? Xie An was shocked when he heard this, he never thought that Li Shen, the king of Qin, would be so frustrated, seeing that the general trend had gone, he did not hesitate to use the people in the entire Xiangyang City as a funeral, and also designed to kill more than 100,000 Zhou soldiers who invaded the city.

It's no wonder that Xie An is so angry, after all, Qin King Li Shen's move is no longer ruthless

It can be said that he has lost his conscience, knowing that he was defeated and died, but he also had to pull more than 100,000 Zhou soldiers and hundreds of thousands of people to die together. Compared with him, what Li Cheng, the king of Anling, did before, but it was not worth mentioning.

Unexpectedly implicated the people・・・・・・ the third son of the emperor, King Li Shen of Qin! - Hmm? Wait・・・・・・ 丨

As if thinking of something, Xie An was suddenly stunned.

No・・・・・・ it stands to reason that this time the Qin King Li Shen chose to stay in Xiangyang City instead of fighting his way out of the siege, which is enough to show that he has been given the will of life and death, in this case, he should not do anything to lose his conscience to ・・・・・・ you must know that the fifth master, who also committed treason and rebellion, has not been expelled from the Li royal family genealogy, and can still be buried in the imperial tomb after death, In other words, the three kings of this rebellion, It can also be explained by '・・・・・ design and plot against their own Zhou soldiers, but if they set fire to hundreds of thousands of people in Xiangyang and cause infamy ・・・・・・ the world, the third son of the emperor, Li Shen, will be dismissed from the Li family after his death・・・・・・ he will not be buried in the imperial mausoleum

A flash of realization flashed in his eyes, and Xie An exclaimed, "The fifth master has been deceived!" ――Even I was trapped・・・・・・"

The generals looked at each other and were about to ask, but saw Xie An shouting urgently, "Quick! Town! ”

City?! 丨

Not to mention that the generals were incomprehensible, even Liu Qing's eyes showed a little puzzlement, after all, in their opinion, breaking into Xiangyang City, which was on fire in the city at this moment, was simply self-defeating!

And at this moment, he suddenly heard a strange rumbling sound from far away, and only Xie An's face changed greatly.

"What sound?" Fei Guo turned his head to look at the north in confusion, and immediately showed a sluggish look on his face, because he saw that in the northeast corner of Xiangyang City in the distance, a large wave of water from nowhere was sweeping in the direction of the east city gate.

"Water ・・・・・・ water ・・・・・・" Countless Zhou soldiers looked at the imminent flood waves in disbelief.

You must know that as Li Cheng, the king of Anling, said, it is a cold winter season and the rivers are frozen, and it is obviously impossible to use such a water attack strategy.

"Ling Xun ・・・・・・?!" Seeing the huge water potential that seemed to be surging in an instant, Xie An's eyes flashed with shock, he never thought that Li Shen, the king of Qin, actually knew what Ling Xun was, and made a fuss about Ling Xun to plot against him Zhou Jun.

"Quick! Fast into town! Xie An shouted.

The nearby soldiers of the Zhou army were shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly turned around and fled towards the city.

Glancing at the eagerness on Xie An's face, Liu Qing asked in a low voice, "What is Ling Xun?" ”

Lingxun, commonly known as ice row, is a hydrological phenomenon caused by the resistance of ice to the water flow and the obvious rise of the water level of the river. Ice can sometimes accumulate into ice plugs or ice dams, causing the water level to rise dramatically, and eventually floodplains or levees burst, known as floods. Flooding can occur during the closure period in winter and during the opening period in spring. In layman's terms, it means that there is ice on the water surface, and it breaks into blocks, and there is a flow of water under the ice, which drives the ice to move downstream, and when the river embankment is narrow, the ice continues to accumulate, resulting in excessive pressure on the embankment, which is Lingxin.

"What a Qin King Li Shen!" After briefly explaining to Liu Qing, Xie Anxin secretly blamed himself for negligence.

After all, others don't know, can he Xie An still not know?

Perhaps many people in the world think that when the river freezes in winter, the entire river freezes, but Xie An knows that this is not the case. In the cold winter wax moon, although the river is covered with thick ice, but under the ice, there is still a non-stop river flowing. The starting point of the Xiangjiang River, that is, the waters near Xiangyang, is originally the confluence of more than ten or even dozens of rivers, and the width of the river has become the narrowest here. And the Qin king Li Shen also knew this, and sent people to break the ice layer of Danshui from these waters of the Xiangjiang River early, so that the crushed ice upstream drove the ice to swim to the waters near Xiangyang, where it continued to be pushed and accumulated, and on the other hand, the water level was also constantly raised, and once the river water that was forced to rise reached a certain impact, it would break the ice dam formed by breaking the ice freeze in an instant, making the water potential become the most ferocious in a short period of time, and it was poured back into the land, thus causing floods.

If the Zhou soldiers are invaded by this torrent, when the cold wind blows, 100,000 Zhou soldiers may become 100,000 ice sculptures!

Although this is an exaggeration, it is undeniable that the threat of this flood to Zhou Bing is as deadly as a natural disaster.

In this way, it is no wonder that Xie An is so anxious, but unfortunately, at this time, all the Zhou soldiers in the city have not yet withdrawn from the city, and there are still many soldiers who obey the orders of Li Cheng, the king of Anling, and slowly retreat. However, the Zhou soldiers outside the city, due to Xie An's order and the horror of seeing the monstrous water with their own eyes, hurriedly fled into Xiangyang City to take refuge, which made the two groups of Zhou soldiers blocked at the city gate.

"Damn it!" Xie An couldn't help but curse. Because he couldn't imagine how many of his Zhou soldiers would be left in the end in such a cold wind once their clothes and armor were soaked through the flood.

Suddenly, Xie An was stunned.

"Huh? - Water ...... The water stopped? ”

Seeing that the follow-up flood could only submerge the calves of the Zhou soldiers in the end, Xie An'an wiped his cold sweat with palpitations. Perhaps only he knew that they had just escaped a catastrophe.

"Was it a fluke? Or ......"

I don't know what I thought, Xie An subconsciously looked in the direction of the official residence of the city guard in Xiangyang City.
