Chapter 32: Eight Cities in a Row

A month ago, after Meng Tian led 100,000 Qin troops to Shanling Pass, he immediately summoned all the generals, and the younger generation of Meng Sui, Meng Tian, Meng Lian, Wang Ling, and Wang Xi all led the army to converge, integrating 200,000 Qin troops to gather in the Shanling Pass military camp.

After Meng Tian ascended to the general's platform, he announced the order of the first emperor and said: "Meng Lian, Wang Xi, the two of them each led 5,000 soldiers and horses to guard the mountain pass, to prevent the Qi army from taking advantage of its unpreparedness to attack the mountain pass, and the rest of the generals will attack Fancheng, Your Majesty has an order, within a month must take Fancheng, Yecheng, Xingcheng, sons, the time has come, follow Ben will open up the territory and expand the territory of His Majesty, and establish a foundation that will not fall for all generations, you are willing to follow." ”

The Qin army raised their hands and stomped on the ground, shouting in their mouths: "Gale, gale, gale...", the 200,000 troops shouted in unison, and the momentum soared into the sky.

Meng Tian slowly drew the sword at his waist and shouted, "Let's go." ”

With Meng Tian's order, the 200,000-strong army slowly left the mountain pass and marched to the nearest Fancheng.

Meng Tian rode slowly forward chasing the wind, and then Meng Tian patted his horse and slowly came to Meng Tian's side and asked: "Uncle, my nephew heard that His Majesty originally ordered Gongzi to supervise the army this time, but I don't know why he later changed his mind to let Gongzi serve as the prisoner, and my nephew heard that Gongzi made a mistake in answering in front of His Majesty, so His Majesty suddenly ordered Gongzi to supervise the country, uncle, what do you mean by Your Majesty?" My nephew really couldn't figure it out. ”

Don't say that Meng Tian can't figure it out, many people can't figure it out, it stands to reason that Fusu made a mistake, and it would be good if he wasn't punished, why did he later let him be imprisoned in the country, isn't this not going down but rising?

Meng Tian saw the worry in Meng Tian's eyes and knew that he was worried about Fusu, after all, when Fusu was exiled to Jiuyuan as a prison guard, it was Meng Tian who served as Fusu's chief of guard, protecting Fusu's safety all year round, and the two established a deep friendship because of this.

Meng Tian said: "Don't worry about the situation of the son, Your Majesty is just in a hurry, after all, Your Majesty intends to cultivate the son as the future king of the Qin State, and it is normal to be strict with the son, and now he is ordered to supervise the country, in fact, he is also exercising the prince's political ability, as for the mistake you said, it is just a different way of handling affairs, wait, the time is not yet ripe, the son may still be sent out by His Majesty." ”

Meng Tian was puzzled: "Uncle means that His Majesty still wants to exile Gongzi?" Why is that? ”

Meng Tian sighed: "Gongzi has a grudge against His Majesty, and sooner or later he will offend His Majesty, and Your Majesty, in order to prevent cracks in the relationship between father and son, the best way is to drive Gongzi out of the national capital and stay away from himself, so as not to hurt the relationship between father and son." ”

Meng Tian was shocked and said: "What, my uncle said that the son has a grudge against His Majesty, this is outrageous, the son is the most filial, how can he have a grudge against His Majesty?" This.. Meng Tian really couldn't figure out why Gongzi would have a grudge against His Majesty. ”

Meng Tian sighed and said, "This is all due to the fact that the son is too benevolent, hey! Since the resurrection, Childe has locked himself up and refused to see His Majesty, and the most fundamental reason is that His Majesty only resurrected his son, and did not resurrect his brother, even the eldest princess, who was the best to Childe, was not resurrected, and Childe complained that His Majesty was too ruthless. ”

Meng Tian was also puzzled: "Yes, uncle, don't you say that I have always wondered, why did Your Majesty only resurrect the son and not the other heirs?" Why is that? ”

Meng Tian replied: "Your Majesty also has Your Majesty's difficulties, as a father, where is he not like resurrecting his own heirs, but as a monarch, Your Majesty has to think about the Qin State, you won't forget the things of Hu Hai and Zhao Gao before, Your Majesty This is to prevent that kind of thing from happening again, Your Majesty wants to resurrect other sons when the position of the prince cannot be shaken, before the son grows up, His Majesty will never resurrect other sons, in fact, Your Majesty is ruthless, Your Majesty, this is too doting on the son. ”

Meng Tian suddenly said: "So that's the case." ”

Meng Tian said: "Okay, you just know such things, don't talk nonsense, talking about royal affairs, it has been a taboo to be a courtier since ancient times, remember, we just need to be loyal to Your Majesty, don't ask anything else." ”

Meng Tiandao: "My nephew remembers, and he won't talk nonsense." ”

Meng Tian nodded with satisfaction, Meng Tian is one of his most valued juniors, and the Meng family will have to rely on him to support him in the future, so he said so much to him, if he was Meng Lian or Meng Sui to ask, Meng Tian would definitely not say a word, but would blame a few words.

Fancheng, because it is located at the junction of Qin and Qi, and Qi has attacked Qin several times before and failed, the Fancheng defender at this time has been worried, after all, he doesn't know when the country on the other side that calls itself Qin will come over, so he has been on guard throughout the whole process, and it has only eased up in the past few days, but at this time the Qin army arrived.

Meng Tian's army set up camp fifty miles away from Fancheng, and by the way, sent scouts into the city to inquire about the news.

After the soldiers were full of wine and food, the scouts also came back at this time, bringing the news that there was no guard in Fancheng, and it seemed that they had not received the news that they were going to attack, Meng Tian was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately ordered the three armies, ordering Meng Tian and Wang Ling to rashly bring five thousand light horsemen with explosives to blow up the chains of the city gate, so that the Qin army could successfully cross the moat, and Meng Tian was ready to kill the enemy by surprise.

Then Meng Tian and Wang Ling immediately led the soldiers to bring enough explosives to hit the city gate, at this time it was exactly three o'clock in the afternoon, the defenders in the city were just in the time to change the guard, and when they realized that when the Qin army, Meng Tian had already led the troops to the city gate less than three miles, and the guards hurried over and ordered the city gate to be pulled up, but the city gate was too heavy, coupled with the interference of the scouts sent by Meng Tian, and finally let Meng Tian arrive when the city gate was closed.

Seeing that the city gate was about to be pulled up, Meng Tian and Wang Ling nodded to each other, took off the giant bow behind their backs and pulled a full moon to shoot at the chain connecting the city gate, the explosives on the arrow exploded, although it failed to blow up the chains, but its huge shock force also shook the soldiers who were pulling the chains down one after another, and the city gate in mid-air fell down with a bang.

Seeing this, Meng Tian and Wang Ling immediately stepped on the city gate to cross the moat, went straight to the city gate, and killed the soldiers who were about to pull up the chains again, at this time, the Qin army behind also stepped on the city gate one after another, and the demolition troops immediately installed explosives on the chains and detonated, and suddenly the two huge chains were blown up, and since then the defenders of Fancheng have no chance to pull up the city gate.

Meng Tian smiled at Wang Ling and said, "Old Ling, this time let's see which of us has killed more enemy soldiers." ”

Wang Ling smiled contemptuously and said, "Just you, don't forget that you have already lost one hundred and fifty-three times, but I have won three more times than you, and I dare to come again." ”

Meng Tian suddenly said unhappily: "How do I remember that you also lost one hundred and fifty-three times, isn't it a tie between us?" Didn't you lose that time before Your Majesty's hunt? And the previous one... Damn, you cheat. Hurriedly raised the Zhige in his hand and faced a soldier beside him, and when he turned his head again, Wang Ling had already killed five enemy soldiers.

It turned out that when Wang Ling was talking about Mengtian, Wang Ling took the opportunity to kill three enemy soldiers, so there was a theory that Mengtian said that he was deceitful.

Wang Ling swept down an enemy army, and after Ge stabbed the enemy in the heart and dealt with the enemy army, Wang Ling looked at Meng Tian and smiled: "Hahaha... This is called a soldier who does not get tired of cheating, and this is why you will lose. ”

Ge in Meng Tian's hand crossed a beautiful arc, and immediately cut the throats of the two enemy soldiers who were approaching, and said to Wang Ling: "It's not sure who will kill the deer, you are so anxious to make up your mind and wait until you lose, it will be a slap in the face." ”

Meng Tian and Wang Ling are both the leaders of the younger generation, and neither of them is convinced, and the two often compete to prove that they are the strongest among the younger generation.

Wang Ling's ancestor is Wucheng Hou Wang Jian general, great-grandfather is Wutong Wang Ben, his grandfather Wang Li, died at the hands of Xiang Yu, after his father and uncle retired to Langya, Wang Ling and Wang Xi did not follow, but chose to enter the first emperor's mausoleum, a martyrdom, how to know that the imperial mausoleum hidden mysteries, the two were just reincarnated as a puppet machine Meng Tian brought into the imperial mausoleum, since the imperial mausoleum Meng Tian and Meng Yi only learned that the Qin State was destroyed, and they couldn't save it, so they decided to protect the first emperor with peace of mind, and remained silent underground for two thousand years, until the first emperor was resurrected.

After some fighting, the Qin army controlled the city gate, and at this time, the army led by Meng Tian went straight into Fancheng, and the defenders of Fancheng were killed in battle, and Fancheng was broken.

Then from this battle Meng Tian learned that Qi did not plant spies in Qin, Qi did not know Qin's military movements, Meng Tian realized this and immediately stopped staying to leave five thousand defenders to guard Fancheng, and then led a large army to attack Yecheng, ten days later, Yecheng was broken, Meng Tian continued to attack non-stop, five days later, Xingcheng was also included in the territory of Qin, after half a month of three cities, Meng Tian thought that it was not the limit, so he continued to lead the army to attack, until he reached Yongcheng, he was blocked by Qi generals Lin Li fifty miles outside Yongcheng.

In this regard, Meng Tian connected the three cities of Fan, Xing and Ye in a month, plus the five cities of Jing, Ling, Yong, Qing and Lung, and Meng Tian connected eight cities in a month, the Qi country was turbulent, the Central Plains countries were shocked, the strength of the Qin State resounded throughout the Central Plains, and Meng Tian's name was also a household name.

The Qin State was divided into eight cities, and the Qi State was divided into two factions, one faction led by the eldest prince and the military generals faction to fight the main battle, and the other faction led by the second prince to dominate the civil official group.

The monarch of Qi sits high above the court, and he likes to watch the two factions fight back and forth on weekdays, but today he is really not in the mood, looking at the quarrel below, he suddenly said angrily: "Give me a quiet moment, the court is arguing and arguing, what kind of system, Prime Minister, you will come." ”

Fan Jigao, the prime minister of Qi State, bowed slowly and said: "King Qiqi, I don't know when this Qin State appeared, but the information that the minister got was the wolf ambition of the Qin State, invaded my Qi State for no reason, and annexed the nine cities of my Qi State, and the minister also received a tip, they are still expanding the island on a large scale, annexing the islands near the coastal city, their hearts are clearly revealed, if they are left alone, it will become a big disaster, and they must be eliminated while their foothold is not stable." ”

King Qi nodded slowly and said, "Lonely, Mingye, Lin Qing's family, you will lead 300,000 troops to conquer the Qin State, and if there is nothing to do, you will retreat." ”

After the king of Qi finished speaking, he got up and left, ignoring the ministers who were talking about it below.
