Chapter 316 Chaos in the Central Plains (sixteen)

Overnight, there were several small hills in the wilderness outside Shangdang County. Countless crows hovered in the sky, making hoarse screams. Suddenly, they seemed to have discovered something and landed on the largest earthen mountain.

At the highest point of this earthen mountain, Zhao Kuo stared straight at the city wall of Shangdang County. After crossing there, it was Handan, but why can't he move? He still had to lead his troops to kill the enemy.

A bold crow jumped and landed next to Zhao Kuo, tilted his head, and looked at the round thing curiously. This purple-colored and hairy thing should be a human head. For this reason, he has already gained considerable experience in eating human flesh. As for why it is purple-colored, this question is not within the scope of its little head.

He took a sip, and the dirty blood mixed with the earthy meat, swallowed it together. The crow raised his neck and screamed proudly, as if showing off his courage.

"call"

The black clouds in the sky fell instantly, surrounding the ball tightly, and the noisy crows were heard endlessly. The crowd of crows fighting for the rushing tide instantly obliterated Zhao Kuo's head.

"Have you heard that our General Zhao was not spared in the end and was buried alive by that Bai Qi."

"It's not a good thing. That day I sneaked out to see. In order to plead for those Zhao Bings, our general knelt down for Bai Qi, but Bai Qi was indifferent at all. More than 300,000 people were buried. I still heard that Bai Qi was reincarnated by the devil. Not only did he kill people, but he also liked to eat children. You have to watch over your children."

"Isn't this beast afraid that he will die well? Isn't he afraid of the 300,000 unjust souls who seek his life?"

"Shush, you're so loud, you don't want to die now, there are Qin troops everywhere. If you want to die, don't implicate everyone. It's all gone, let's disperse."

The golden autumn wind drifted into Xianyang, bringing the harvest and bringing the battle report ahead. In the tall and majestic Qin Palace, King Zhuangxiang sat on the high throne, holding Bai Qi's battle report in his hand, and he was fascinated by the war report. He had read this battle report more than ten times, and almost all the contents could be memorized. In just a few dozen words, the civil and military officials in the court were obviously divided into two factions.

"The king Bai Qi is bloodthirsty and has a traitor. If he is not severely punished and the superiors and inferiors will be effective, it will defile the soul of our Great Qin army. If we continue here, all countries in the Central Plains know that our Great Qin soldiers are cruel. Resistance is death, and surrender is also death. Since there is no way to survive, all countries will definitely fight to the death to the end. This case cannot be easily opened by the king."

The scholar-official Pei Quan stood in the hall and said passionately, as if he did not withdraw Bai Qi, that was tortured to the heavens and the people. The hat of a foolish monarch was to be placed on King Zhuangxiang. However, he was talking lively and there were many people who agreed with the civil servant group, but Prime Minister Fan Sui did not speak, and the powerful officials did not make any comments. Therefore, although Pei Quan spoke lively, he had no weight.

And the generals are much more united. Although the two marquis did not speak, their purpose is to protect Bai Qi and never change the generals in the last battle.

"If you follow Lord Pei's words, how should you deal with more than 300,000 surrendered soldiers? My Qin army soldiers and friendly troops are only more than 400,000. The whole army can be used to hold so many surrendered soldiers. So who will rely on to complete the plan of the king's destruction of Zhao? Is it up to Lord Pei, you are so full of lotus flowers, and you can persuade them to surrender at every level."

General Meng Yi sneered, without taking care of Pei Ce's face at all, and only heard him continue, "Stay, you can't stay, let go, you can't. Since this is the case, you can only kill the matter. Besides, since the two sides are hostile, then naturally you will either die or I live. Is there any difference between killing one and killing 300,000?"

"You are just a rude thing"

Pei Ce's face turned blue with anger and wanted to refute Meng Yi, but there was no sufficient reason. He had no choice but to retreat, but his eyes glanced at Lu Buwei who was standing in the last place.

But Lu Buwei looked at his nose and did not intend to participate at all, which made Pei Ce really unable to figure out his plans. Since he had done his best, then that's what he wanted for the time being.

"Okay, okay, I already understand what you mean." King Zhuangxiang's words broke the embarrassment in the hall. He threw away the bamboo slips in his hand, leaned on the back of the chair, and said lightly: "I will discuss this matter again."

I said it was a discussion, but it was not really about bringing up this matter for discussion tomorrow. Everyone present was a talented person, so I naturally understood what King Zhuangxiang meant. This is to put it aside first. When I wanted to talk about it, it all depends on the king's mood. This means that the king had already acquiesced to Bai Qi's approach and protected him in disguise.

Without any objection, it was time to retreat. Lu Buwei followed the ministers out of the palace, turned around and walked back along the side door. There was a small eunuch at the door. Seeing Lu Buwei coming, he bowed and bowed, turned around to lead the way.

Turning over the long corridor, Lu Buwei came to a side hall. He opened the door and smelled a strong fragrance coming from it. Lu Buwei looked at it quietly and saw King Zhuangxiang drink the soup in the bowl and handed it to Zhao Ji who was serving next to him.

"Queen, let the people do this work of giving soup in the future. Don't worry about yourself, be careful of being tired." King Zhuangxiang smiled gently to Zhao Ji, "Okay, you go back first, I have something to talk to Buwei."

Zhao Ji took the bronze bowl, bowed to King Zhuangxiang, and then retreated gentlely, without looking at Lu Buwei from beginning to end.

"Hehe, Buwei, as you expected, Bai Qi had done this. Now he has the handle in Gu's hands, and he is afraid that he will not work for Gu's life obediently."

Lu Buwei lowered his head respectfully and said, "Bai Qi has the talent of a general. Judging from his leadership of the army, he has the style of a famous general. The only disadvantage is that he is too killing, but this is not a bad thing. Since the hilt of the knife is already in the hands of the king, it is also good to let him expand the territory and boundaries for the king. As for whether to hide or destroy after unification, it is not a matter of the king's words."

"Yeah, it's well said, hahahahahaha"

King Zhuangxiang was in a good mood today, but after laughing for a while, King Zhuangxiang seemed to remember something again. He knocked on the table with his finger and asked, "Then Li Mu took a detour and returned to the rescue thousands of miles. I wonder if Bai Qi could stop him. This Li Mu is a long-famous general and is definitely not something that ordinary people can resist. Wang Jian is so cautious, isn't he also being deceived by Li Mu?"

"Report to the king, Bai Qi has sent cavalry to stop him first, and then he followed up with all the initiators. I think he should have fought with Li Mu's vanguard." To be continued.
