If we follow Li Xin's idea, we should directly lead the troops back to Xianyang now. With His Majesty the Emperor here, no one in the Qin Dynasty would dare to resist.
As for all the people in the trap, just capture them all at once. It is better to kill the wrong ones than let them go. Zhao Gao and Li Si will be wiped out.
After purifying the center of the empire, His Majesty the Emperor is stationed in Xianyang, and armies from all directions are engaged in countering the rebellion. I believe that it will not take long for the rebellion in various places to subside.
But it is obvious that Ying Zheng does not intend to return to Xianyang, at least, not now.
Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor did not agree with his idea, Li Xin honestly asked for instructions: "Your Majesty, what should I do now? His Majesty the Second Emperor has ordered me to continue to attack the Qilin Society?"
"No need, just stay here and do your work passively."
Ying Zheng's words made Li Xin dumbfounded.
"ah?"
Lu Yan explained for him: "If there is a question from Xianyang, just say that the biggest threat to the Qilin Society is the six swords combined, and you are not sure that you can defeat it.
Your stationing here has blocked the westward expansion of the Qilin Society, involving most of its combat power. As long as Xianyang can send another army, the Qilin Society, which has lost its six swords, will no longer be a threat.
If Xianyang doesn't send anyone to urge you, just keep waiting. General Li Xin, don't worry, when it's time to use troops, your Majesty will have you as a general by his side."
"..."
What else could Li Xin say, just wait. After nearly thirty years of fighting, this was the first time he encountered something like this. God was so passive and slow in his work.
…
In order to clear out the rebellion, the empire's three generals led troops to dispatch.
Li Xin went straight to the Qilin Association, but because he recognized Ying Zheng and knew his true goal, he stopped advancing and only waited for the last opportunity.
The other two generals did not have such good things as Li Xin. They had already started bloody battles on their respective battlefields.
…
Let's talk about the two brothers Chen Sheng and Wu Kuang. They used the slogan "Princes and generals should rather have their own kind" as their slogan, showing their identity as farmers' disciples, and almost instantly expanded their team.
The peasant disciples who were originally scattered all over the world came to join them one after another, and the people also had confidence in the army formed by the peasants, and the cohesion was unprecedented.
This rebel army quickly occupied Sishui County, and then moved west to capture Chen County. By this time, their military strength had approached 100,000.
Now that the slogan "Princes and generals should be content with each other" has been shouted out, Chen Sheng also personally implemented this sentence, proclaimed the king in Chen County and established the Zhang Chu regime.
After becoming the king, Chen Sheng did not enclose the land for self-pleasure like Wei Gongzi and Qi Gongzi, but continued to launch a fierce attack on the empire, vowing to completely destroy Qin.
The front of his army was extremely fierce and had already reached Xingyang, an important town in the Central Plains.
How can we describe the status of Xingyang? It is no exaggeration to say that one city affects the safety of the whole world.
It was here that Chen Sheng encountered a tough nut that he couldn't chew no matter how hard he tried.
…
On the top of Xingyang City Tower, a white-haired old man with a cloth bandage on his head waved his hand very calmly and ordered: "Fire the arrow."
Da da da~
That's right, countless mechanical crossbows are fired, and the sound of the machine is connected into a piece, just like Gatling.
I saw many tall and strong Qin soldiers, not wearing armor, but several people working together to carry heavy wooden boxes and walking back and forth between the towers.
The people in charge of shooting the machine gun and the crossbow did not look like the Qin army, but they were all wearing dark cloth.
"Well, if it weren't for the friends of the Mo family who helped defend the city, Li You would have been beaten to a pulp by that King Zhang Chu."
A middle-aged man who looked like a civil servant looked at the ongoing war, shook his head and sighed.
Li You, he is the son of Li Si and the governor of Sanchuan County in Qin State.
"You don't have to be too humble. You are the county guard. Without your intervention, we, the Mohist disciples, can't accomplish anything."
The white-haired old man with a cloth bandage on his head is the current leader of Qin Mo, Master Xu.
Originally, Master Xu and these Mohist disciples settled in Xiping, which was between Yingchuan County and Chen County. However, Chen Sheng and Wu Kuang came over and Chen County was quickly occupied.
The Mohist family was once the vanguard of the resistance against Qin; but Xu Fuzi's group surrendered to Qin that year.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Master Xu immediately ordered everyone to take whatever they could, and if they couldn't, they would throw it away and flee westward for their lives.
As expected, Chen Sheng did not want to let them go.
The natural next step was that Master Xu led a group of Mohist disciples to help the defenders of Xingyang City and suppress Chen Sheng's arrogance.
Xingyang City itself is a fortified city in the world, and coupled with a group of Mohist disciples, such as Xu Fuzi, Ding Xiaobo, and Dao Zhi, who are highly skilled in martial arts, they took the lead and directly beat Chen Sheng to the spot.
Of course, Li Si's son Li You is not a loser. With such a defensive team, unless the city runs out of ammunition and food, Chen Sheng has no hope of breaking the city.
"Master Xu, you are an old man. Back then, the Mohists practiced the principle of universal love and non-aggression and fought against the tyrannical Qin Dynasty. Who in the world did not praise the Mohists for their chivalry? But in the hands of you, an old man, the Mohists became a tortoise with a shrunken head.
mouse!"
"Master Xu, what shame do you have? When facing the founder of the Mo family, get out of here!"
"Master Xu, what kind of face do you have in this world for insulting my ancestor?"
The huge roar echoed up and down the city. The deep internal force contained in it was able to make most people on the battlefield hear these insulting words clearly.
"Chen Sheng, you bastard."
When Taizhi heard Chen Sheng insulting Master Xu from the opposite side, his lungs almost exploded with anger. Chen Sheng didn't know what these old Xu had done for the Mo family.
"Xiao Zhi, let him go. If he wants to scold you, just let him scold you."
Master Xu stroked his white beard, his eyes were calm and his face was as usual. He really didn't care about Chen Sheng's insults.
abuse?
Back then, he led Chu Mo to surrender to Qin. The things Chen Sheng scolded today are all left over from that time.
He wasn't afraid back then, but now that he has half his foot in the ground, it's even less possible for him to care about this.
"Master Xu, of course you don't care about that big black man's crazy barking at your level, but if he keeps barking like this, I'm afraid it will have an impact on our morale. We have to find a way to retaliate against him."
Ding Xiaobo looked at where Chen Sheng was from a distance, with a cold glint in his eyes.
"I agree!"
Tao Zhi suddenly appeared next to Ding Xiaobo, patted him on the shoulder, looked at him like a big brother looking forward to his little brother, and said, "You have the brightest head, think of a solution quickly."
"That's not necessary. You are just young at heart."
Master Xu glared at the two juniors seriously, then pointed at his feet and reprimanded: "We are defending the city now, and Chen Sheng is obviously at his wits' end. If you have this idea of fighting for words, you are giving Chen Sheng
Give me a chance. Why, the Mo family teaches you to use your brother's life to fight for your reputation."
"Uh, okay, Lao Xu, we don't want to think about it anymore. We can bear it. Well, you can calm down."
Robber Zhi quickly smiled coquettishly, and then approached Master Xu at the speed of light, gritted his teeth and said, "Can you save some face for me in front of outsiders?"
Thief Zhi burst into tears. When he was ten years old, Master Xu trained him like this. Now that he is in his twenties, Master Xu still trains him like this. And in front of outsiders, Sheriff Li's daughter is... ahem...
If everything continues to develop like this, perhaps Chen Sheng will be blocked in Xingyang and can only look at Guanzhong and sigh.
But at this time, General Wang Li, who commanded hundreds of armor-piercing troops, arrived.
The six sword slaves of Luo Wang who were accompanying them also carried Zhao Gao's order to bring Master Xu and Ben Lei Sword back to Xianyang.
