"Burn down this palace built with the blood and sweat of the descendants of the Six Kingdoms!" Knowing that the looting was over, Xiang Yu waved his hand at Chu Jun who was standing behind him and gritted his teeth and said: "Ying Zheng wants his children and grandchildren to live in this palace for thousands of generations, I will let them completely break their minds and completely shatter Ying Zheng's dream!" ”

The Chu army standing behind Xiang Yu responded in unison, holding torches and rushing towards the palatial Qin Imperial Palace.

When the first torch was thrown into the palace hall, Xiang Ye, who had been standing there silently watching, couldn't help but feel a throbbing pain in his heart, after tonight, this great building condensed with the blood and sweat of countless people was about to turn into a scorched earth, and he could only watch it, and he had no ability to stop it.

Hundreds of torches were thrown by the Chu army on the roofs and inside the palace buildings, and the fire spread rapidly.

Just after the flames burned, the originally clear night sky suddenly accumulated large areas of dark clouds, accompanied by rolling thick clouds, lightning split the night sky, reflecting the entire Xianyang City in a flickering light.

"General, is this lightning damned?" Seeing the lightning in the sky, Xiang Ye frowned, and an idea came to his mind, he hurriedly leaned over to Xiang Yu and whispered: "I think that if this palace is not burned, don't really anger the heavens!" ”

After listening to Xiang Ye's words, Xiang Yu raised his head and laughed, and after laughing, he said to Xiang Ye: "What can the sky do? As long as you are strong enough, even if there is a heaven, I can't help you! This Xianyang City, I must raze it to the ground and export evil qi for the descendants of the Six Kingdoms! ”

Xiang Ye sighed and stood aside silently, Xiang Yu's burning of the Xianyang Palace was obviously not a temporary intention, but after careful consideration, if he still tried to dissuade him, it would inevitably cause Xiang Yu's displeasure, in this case, he had to give up his efforts, stand aside and watch the fire burn more and more.

The thick clouds in mid-air gathered thicker and thicker, accompanied by lightning and thunder, and the raindrops of soybeans "crackled" down.

The rain poured on the burning flames, but instead of being extinguished, the flames jumped higher. The magnificent Xianyang Imperial Palace gasped in the fire, and the thick rafters were gnawed through by the flames, and they fell down with a groan, making a loud noise when they fell to the ground.

The rain continued all night, but the fire burned in the rain all night, and the next morning, as if the sky had given up its last efforts, the rain stopped, but the flames were still burning, and spread more and more.

In these days when the Xianyang Palace was engulfed in flames, Xiang Ye always watched the palace that collapsed in the fire from a distance in his spare time. When the palace collapsed in the flames, he could not help but feel sorry for the civilization that burned to ashes in the flames.

Qin Shi Huang burned books and pit Confucianism, but burned the folk classics, except for a few that were hidden and not found, almost all the books were hidden in the treasury of the Qin Imperial Palace.

Xiang Yu didn't select and carry these classics at all, he just rudely let people burn the entire Qin Imperial Palace.

At first, Xiang Ye wanted to persuade Xiang Yu to keep this magnificent building, but he didn't take into account those classics, and when he thought about it, the fire had already spread, and it was too late to rescue it, all he could do was to look at the burning fire and sigh.

After conquering Xianyang, Xiang Yu's anger did not subside because of the fire in the Qin Imperial Palace. He remembered another place, another place that was more luxurious than Xianyang.

More than 10,000 Chu troops under the leadership of Xiang Yu marched towards Afang Palace, each of these Chu soldiers held a torch that had not been lit in their hands, needless to say, he had already made plans to burn Afang Palace before leaving.

Xiang Ye followed behind Xiang Yu, and he didn't say a word along the way. Since entering Xianyang, Xiang Yu has been very excited, the fire in Xianyang Palace has not been extinguished, and he led the army to Afang Palace, wanting to burn this legendary palace with gold as a wall and mercury as a river.

More than 10,000 Chu troops arrived outside the Afang Palace, Xiang Yu looked at the palace that appeared in front of him, and he couldn't help frowning.

Afang Palace is not as luxurious as he imagined, this legendary palatial palace has only built a circle of palace walls, and the high platform in the palace has only laid the foundation, and there is no trace of gold and mercury.

"Xiang Ye, do you think we are in the wrong place?" Looking at the palace in front of him, Xiang Yu wrinkled his brows and called Xiang Ye in front of him and asked, "If Afang Palace is like this, it's really not worth burning, but we're all here, can't we just go back like this?" ”

Looking at the unfinished palace in front of him, Xiang Ye smiled and said: "The luxury of Afang Palace is a folk rumor, imagine a palace that has not yet been built, who would be stupid enough to move valuable items here?" ”

Xiang Yu furrowed his brows and stood in front of Afang Palace and pondered for a long time. When he raised his head, Xiang Ye saw a hint of determination in his eyes.

"Go to Lishan!" Xiang Yu made a move and gave the order to the Chu army who came with him to move to Lishan.

Lishan is the place where the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is located. Qin Shi Huang, who unified the six countries back then, is now lying quietly under this imperial mausoleum, and Xiang Yu issued an order to advance to Lishan, naturally wanting to dig up the imperial mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, so that he could not die in peace.

Xiang Ye followed Xiang Yu to Lishan together, but his heart was infinitely emotional, he finally understood why Xiang Yu would lose to Liu Bang in the future, although Xiang Yu fought bravely and was like a god of war on the battlefield, but he was very immature, and he only acted on impulse, and many things were not considered at all.

With such a 'sexual' character, competing for the world with Liu Bang, who is old and heavy, even if Xiang Yu adds a little martial arts, he cannot be Liu Bang's opponent.

Xiang Ye silently followed Xiang Yu and led the team of more than 10,000 people to Lishan.

The Lishan Garden Mausoleum covers an extremely wide area and is divided into several mausoleum areas. Xiang Yu led the army here, looking at the terracotta figurines all over the mountains, he frowned, waved his hand to the Chu army behind him and shouted: "Find it for me, find out Yingzheng!" I'm going to drag him out and whip him and feed him to the wild dogs! ”

Tens of thousands of Chu troops responded and rushed towards the garden.

A group of Chu soldiers rushed into the terracotta figurines array, spears pierced swords and slashed, and after destroying many terracotta figurines, they still did not find the entrance to the mausoleum, just when they were about to destroy all the terracotta figurines and look for the mechanism to enter the mausoleum, another group of Chu soldiers far away from them waved at them and shouted: "Another terracotta figurines array has been found here!" ”

Xiang Yu put his hands behind his back, standing in front of the imperial mausoleum and looking at the Chu army scattered looking for the entrance to the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.

"General, the imperial tomb is too big, Yingzheng is cunning, when he was buried, he must have considered that someone would dig his tomb in the future, and the place where the coffin was buried must be very secret. Not to mention that we only have 10,000 people, even if there are 10,000 more, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find! Seeing that the Chu army had not found the entrance to the mausoleum for a long time, Xiang Ye said to Xiang Yu: "Why don't we go back, now that the army has broken through Xianyang, King Huai is still waiting for news!" ”

Xiang Yu frowned, and said to the soldiers beside him: "Go tell them, let them set a fire here, let's go!" ”

After receiving Xiang Yu's order, the Chu army 'touched' the torches they brought with them, and the burning torches were thrown into the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum by them, and soon, the Imperial Mausoleum also burned.

Xiang Ye looked at the burning imperial tomb very helplessly, shook his head and sighed.

Wu Wei, who was following him, heard him sigh, leaned into his ear and whispered: "General, don't sigh, now is a critical period, but don't annoy the general!" ”

"Nope!" Xiang Ye turned his head sideways, his mouth close to Wu Wei and said: "I sighed just to remember one thing, I liked to play with fire when I was a child, and adults would always tell me that children should 'pee' and 'bed' at night when they play with fire. ”

"Huh." Wu Wei shook his head and smiled, and stood aside.

Wu Wei has been doing one thing in the past few days, he will run to Fan Zeng every once in a while, but every time he goes, he asks to see Fan Zeng with a teacher's courtesy, and he does not mention anything related to Xiang Ye.

Wu Wei had already seen that Xiang Yu would return to Jiangdong soon after the capture of Xianyang, and what he had to do was to establish a good relationship with Fan Zeng before Xiang Yu returned to Jiangdong. Of course, if Fan Zeng could admit that he had taught him, that relationship would be even stronger.

Looking at the raging fire, looking at the rows of clay figurines that fell in the smoke and flames, a smile hung on the corner of Xiang Yu's mouth. He hated the Qin people and Qin Shi Huang, as long as he could make the Qin people feel humiliated, he was very willing to do it.

"Return to Xianyang!" Emperor Qin's mausoleum groaned in pain in the flames, and Xiang Yu, with a satisfied smile on his face, gave the order to the Chu army to retreat.

The Lishan Imperial Mausoleum didn't burn for long, it was a place full of stones and clay, and there was little wood and other combustibles, and the fire in the Imperial Mausoleum was basically extinguished halfway through Xiang Yu's retreat to Xianyang.

Gusts of wind whistled past the imperial tomb, and patches of charred black soil swirled with the wind, raising scorched black smoke and dust.

In this smoke and dust, rows of terracotta figurines that have not fallen stand straight. They are the last guardians of the Great Qin Empire, and they are the warriors who will forever protect this once glorious and vast empire. Standing in the flames, they will tell future generations what happened here thousands of years later.

After returning to Xianyang, Xiang Yu ordered people to rush back to Pengcheng to report to King Huai that Xianyang had been conquered, and Great Qin had been erased from the world.

While waiting for King Huai's will, Xiang Yu was still planning another thing, that is, the marriage of Xiang Ye and Xiang Qing. Originally, Xiang Yu only thought about how to divide the world all day long, and he had already put this matter in the back of his mind, if it wasn't for Fan Zeng's reminder from the side, I am afraid it would have to drag on for an unknown amount of time. ~
