The winter nights in the northwest Qindi were dry and cold, which was really uncomfortable for Chen Xiang, who had long been accustomed to the humid and warm climate in the south, and his skin was already cracked and bleeding. Compared with the harsh climate, the bad battlefield situation made Chen Xiang even more painful.

In the past few days, the Chinese army has suffered setbacks in attacking the city, and the Qin army often sneaks up on the Chinese army at night, resulting in heavy losses and a great decline in morale of the Chinese army. Last night, the Qin army accidentally attacked the heavy machine battalion successfully, and most of the siege equipment was damaged, which will undoubtedly make the next siege even worse.

"Newspaper... Report... Report to the king ....... Suddenly, there was a panicked report from a soldier outside the tent. Chen Xiang was angry, and scolded angrily: "Bastard, why are you so panicked?"

The soldier was grief-stricken, tears couldn't help but burst out of his eyes, Chen Xiang looked at it fixedly, and was shocked in his heart, isn't this Wu Zixu's entourage, could it be that something happened in the northwest? Chen Xiang hurriedly asked, "Tell me what's going on?"

The soldier hurriedly suppressed his tears and kept choking: "The Qin army came to attack that day, and General Wu personally led the army to meet the battle in order to boost the morale of our army. General Wu was hit by several arrows, but still fought to break through. When I returned to the city, General Wu was exhausted, and I insisted on holding my last breath and asked me to wait for the last time to see the king. ”

When Chen Xiang ascended, it was like five thunderbolts, only to feel a hot breath in his body surge, and a mouthful of blood gushed out like a mist. Chen Xiang couldn't wipe the blood from his mouth, and rushed out of the tent with a brisk walk. I saw Wu Zixu lying straight on the stretcher, dying. Seeing Chen Xiang coming, Wu Zixu's body suddenly squirmed, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching, as if he wanted to say something.

Quickly leaned over Chen Xiang and put his ear close to his mouth. Wu Zixu was angry, and his voice was slightly soft, but Chen Xiang heard it clearly and clearly: "Brother Ji Kangwu, my brother has been trapped by personal hatred all his life, and he has been friends with his brother for decades. Today's brother takes the first step, I hope that my brother will be cherished, I will meet my brother in this life, die without regrets, and I hope to continue my brotherhood in the next life. After speaking, Wu Zixu clenched his hands into fists, his body slowly stiffened, and his head hung on Chen Xiang's shoulder, and he stopped moving.

Chen Xiang hugged Wu Zixu's body hard, looked up to the sky and howled, and cried loudly.

On that day, the Chinese army was all plain, Chen Xiang held the coffin and wept bitterly, and personally led the crowd to hold a grand funeral for Wu Zixu. After the funeral, Chen Xiang sat alone in front of Wu Zixu's tomb and drank alone, drinking until he was half drunk, Chen Xiang remembered that he met and intersected with Wu Zixu back then, and then borrowed the hand of the King of Chu to collect it under the account. You and I are both people who hate and love each other, I hate the injustice of heaven, and I love the poor people of the world. The destiny of heaven wants to create and make people, I want to break the sky to purify all sentient beings, for this brother, I must be ruthless, play my best, do everything, and hope that the virtuous brother will know and understand what his brother does. After speaking, he kowtowed heavily in front of the tombstone, until his head broke and the blood flowed, and he still kowtowed.

The Northwest Army lost its commander, and the army was in turmoil, but fortunately, Fan Li had arrived with reinforcements. The Northwest Army received reinforcements, and Fan Li brought a large amount of grain, grass and equipment from the rear, and its vitality was greatly restored for a while. Fan Li immediately discussed the war with Zhang Han, quickly adjusted the deployment, and repelled the Qin army's repeated attacks, the confidence of the Chinese army was greatly increased, and the situation in the northwest was finally stabilized.

At the same time, Le Yi on the eastern front finally waited for the reinforcements of Huacheng, Le Yi was a little settled in his heart, so he used Bai Qi's eagerness to seek war, and skillfully set up ambushes to defeat the Qin army many times.

The 300,000 new Chinese army and a large amount of grain and grass led by Wei Ying have also arrived in Chen Xiang's Chinese army. Wei Ying comforted the soldiers on the one hand, and stepped up the construction of siege equipment, with Wei Ying's help to operate, Chen Xiang's hanging heart also settled down, coupled with the persuasion of Lu Zhu, Chen Xiang finally agreed to temporarily put down the trivial matters at hand and recuperate wholeheartedly.

Wang Jian knew that the war dragged on for a long time, and the situation would eventually be unfavorable to Qin, and seeing that the Chinese army was gradually taking the initiative, Wang Jian was so anxious that he moved troops even more frantically. In order to rapidly expand the army, Wang Jian actually transferred most of the Imperial Forest Army, which had been left in the palace to control the King of Qin and the ministers of the palace, to the army, leaving only some old and weak to stay.

On this day, Wang Jian was furious after hearing the report of the people sent by Meng Wu, and immediately ordered someone to go back to bring Meng Wu to ask for the crime.

Soon Mengwu was escorted to Wang Qian's tent, Wang Jian looked at Mengwu who was kneeling on the ground with his head down, and shouted bitterly: "Do you still remember the oath I made when I joined the alliance?" Meng Wu replied: "I dare not forget the last death." Those who violate the orders of the alliance will be killed; Those who damage the alliance will be killed."

Wang Jian shouted angrily, "Do you know how much harm your actions will bring to the Iron Blood Alliance and the Qin State? For so many years, the queen has turned her hands into clouds and hands for rain in the Qin State, and our veterans who have been dominating the world can be taken down by her one by one, which shows that her means are extraordinary, this time you let her out of the palace without permission, it is bound to carry out a crazy counterattack against us, it seems that our Qin State is going to set off a bloody storm again. ”

Meng Wu was remorseful when he heard this, and cried bitterly on the ground: "The last general should die, I can't think of a moment of confusion and ruined the general's major affairs, and now there is only one death to atone for his sins." After speaking, he pulled out his sword, Wang Jian wanted to stop it, but it was too late, Meng Wu quickly wiped his neck with his sword, and was killed instantly. Wang Jian shook his head helplessly and sighed deeply.

The news of Meng Wu's death came back to Xianyang, Meng Tian was in pain, yesterday the father and son saw each other vividly, but now the yin and yang are separated, how can Meng Tian not be heartbroken?

Lü Buwei sent someone to bring back Meng Wu's body and bury him alive, and Meng Tian was grateful. After the funeral, Lü Buwei called Meng Tian and said to him: "Your father was killed by a traitor, and Benxiang and the prince want to avenge your father's grievances, but you have also seen the current situation, the whole court is full of iron-blooded alliance henchmen, and we have the heart but are powerless." Meng Tian cried and said: "The last general thanked Lord Xiangguo for his father, Wang Jian Lao'er is so vicious, and my father has been loyal to him for many years, and he will not take revenge." I have been vainly the son of man. ”

Lu Buwei patted Meng Tian on the shoulder and said heavily: "It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Now that the traitorous ministers are in charge, the general must not startle the snake, and the matter of revenge needs to be considered in the long run. The old man will first recommend you to the king to take over the position of the commander of your father's forbidden army, I think there should be no reason for Wang Jian to refuse, and then you can slowly cultivate your power in the forbidden army, and when the time is ripe, the camera will be dispatched to strike a counterattack. Meng Tian knelt down and bowed deeply to Lü Buwei, and said in a firm tone: "Everything is according to Xiangguo's orders."
