Chapter 240: Wang Zhi's death and Ying Zheng's rise
Chapter 240: Wang Zhi's death and Ying Zheng's rise
Wang Xi's tone was filled with regret, reluctance, yearning, admiration, loneliness, anger, and deep helplessness. He finally said painfully: "A famous general who never lost a battle, a loyal Wu'an Jun, and General Bai Qi who fought on the battlefield all his life and conquered cities and strongholds for the Qin State, died in a war without the smoke of gunpowder, and ended up dying without a trace."
"Don't you think it's sad and lamentable?"
Wang Xi looked up, there was no trace of nostalgia in his eyes. Under the bloody setting sun, he leaned on the stairs like a decadent old man, with only endless longing on his old face.
Wang Xi lamented, "Wu'an Jun, you have already gone to the underworld. I will follow you in life and death."
The truth came to light. Everything Wang Qi did was to avenge his former general, his brother, Bai Qi, the Wu'an Jun of Qin.
As Bai Qi's deputy general, he naturally admired Bai Qi the most. For revenge, he wanted to assassinate Ying Zheng and shake the foundation of Qin.
It is sad and lamentable that the Qin State once again lost a famous and capable general.
When Wang Xi said the last sentence, Gai Nie's figure flashed, but he was still a step too late.
Gai Nie reached out and lifted Wang Xi's chin, saying, "He committed suicide."
Wang Qi fell on the stairs, and the old general who had fought on the battlefield all his life went to accompany Bai Qi, the Marquis of Wu'an.
Ying Zheng had no expression on his face and said calmly, "Li Si."
Li Si had a worried look on his face, as he knew that Ying Zheng would definitely question him in the end. Li Si saluted with both hands and faced Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng stood between heaven and earth, his voice neither happy nor angry, and asked: "Li Si, I am in danger, but you do nothing."
Ying Zheng's last words clearly contained a hint of anger.
Li Si immediately knelt and said, "Li Si is coerced by Wang Zhi. Although I can die to show my loyalty, it will put Master Shang in danger. Wang Zhi's army is powerful, so it is obviously unwise to do so."
"The appearance of Cheng Jiao's ring shows that Luo Wang and Wang Xi have a very close relationship, which Master Shang and Mr. Gai Nie are not aware of."
"So, Li Si must save his life and lure Wang Xi into revealing his weakness. Rather than dying without doing anything for the sake of a good reputation of loyalty, Li Si would rather bear the stigma of disloyalty and warn the king to keep at least a glimmer of hope."
At that time, Meng Tian did not know that Master Shang was the king. If he explained it directly to Master Shang, Wang Xi would have already shown signs of treason.
This will inevitably make Wang Xi alert, and Wang Xi will definitely take action in advance to prevent the plan from being leaked.
As the left minister, Wang Xi was the highest-ranking general in the entire military camp. All soldiers followed his lead. At that time, only Gai Nie was trapped in the encirclement.
Moreover, Meng Tian is unaware of the situation and will definitely cooperate with Wang Qi to surround and kill Gai Nie. By then, he will be in real danger and will be in danger of death.
Ying Zheng obviously figured this out, and his expression began to soften.
Li Si continued, "So, Li Si suggested to Wang Zhi to separate Master Shang and Mr. Gai Nie, so that Wang Zhi would reveal his weakness and Master Shang would realize that Wang Zhi had ulterior motives."
"And Mr. Gai Nie will definitely bring Mr. Shang with him for his safety. Mr. Gai Nie did not bring his sword with him to the stage to select generals, because he wanted to let Mr. Shang know that Wang Xi had revealed his murderous intentions."
"And Captain Meng's performance last night also proved that Captain Meng was not in Wang Qi's plan, but was constantly searching for the truth."
"And the fact that Mr. Gai Nie was able to hand over his sword to Captain Meng shows that Captain Meng is on the side of Master Shang. In this way, Wang Xi's plan will be defeated."
"With the support of the Meng family army, we can fight against Wang Xi and turn the tables."
Li Si had a good idea. He knew that he was under Wang Qi's surveillance. Wang Qi was not confident in him, so he secretly reminded him by offering advice.
Gai Nie protected Ying Zheng, but now suddenly only Gai Nie was invited, leaving Ying Zheng alone. Ying Zheng's safety will definitely be at risk.
It was obvious at a glance that this was Wang Qi's strategy of dividing and attacking to weaken the protection around Ying Zheng.
Gai Nie is the descendant of Guiguzi. He quickly discovered that something was wrong and naturally guessed what Wang Xi was thinking.
Moreover, removing Gai Nie's sword was also a reminder. Wang Qi knew that Master Shang was the king, but he still asked Gai Nie, who was responsible for protecting the king, to remove his sword. This was obviously problematic.
This made Ying Zheng and Gai Nie even more convinced that Wang Zhi had rebellious intentions. After repeated hints, Gai Nie and Ying Zheng already knew Wang Zhi's conspiracy.
However, Wang Zhi, who was eager for revenge, did not see this point. He thought he had won the battle and did not think about Li Si's proposal in detail.
In the end, Meng Tian turned the tables, causing all of Wang Qi's plans to fail and he died tragically on the spot.
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Very good."
Gai Nie was born in Guigu, he is extremely powerful and can discern people's hearts; Li Si is shrewd, resourceful and decisive; Meng Tian is both wise and brave, brave and resourceful, and has the potential to be a famous general.
During a trip to South Korea, the top talents from the government, the military, and politics gathered together, which suddenly made Ying Zheng feel happy.
He was filled with pride and said loudly, "With such capable and wise ministers by my side, I have no reason to worry about not accomplishing great things."
"Hahahahahaha..."
Gai Nie, Meng Tian and Li Si knelt down one after another.
After a hearty laugh, Ying Zheng ordered: "Wang Qi's three clans will be exterminated, and all those who recommended, recommended, and approved his promotion will be strictly investigated."
At the command, the soldiers cleaned up all the bodies and took them away.
The king was magnanimous and tolerant, but also decisive and merciful. Since Wang Xi attempted to assassinate the king, exterminating his three clans was already a form of mercy.
On the tall tower, Ying Zheng climbed up step by step and reached the top.
Ying Zheng walked with his hands behind his back, his white robe fluttering and his eyes stern, revealing the majesty of the Qin king.
The sun set, and the last rays of light from the setting sun shone across the entire Wusui military camp, filling the air with a bloody glow.
The towering black water dragon flag fluttered in the wind, showing the spirit of the Qin Dynasty.
Under the tower, countless soldiers stood behind Meng Tian. They were the heavily armored army of Pingyang and the pacification of thousands of troops. They were heavily armored, with thick blood and strong bones. There were mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and they were full of murderous aura.
The well-organized army and the soldiers who obeyed orders, under the leadership of Meng Tian, all knelt on one knee and faced the majestic figure on the podium.
The bloody setting sun shone on the army's phalanx, and the soldiers seemed to be stained with a thick layer of blood, making the entire army carry a strong spirit of iron and blood.
Long spears stood in rows, crisscrossing each other, and the aura of killing filled the military formation. The iron-blooded military formation was so powerful that it reached the sky.
Gai Nie stood on the left side of Ying Zheng holding a sword, and together with Ying Zheng, they looked down at the elite army below.
Ying Zheng was filled with lofty ambition and ambition. This was his own power, and it was also the power that would allow him to sit securely on the throne.
Li Si stood on the stage to select his generals, his heart filled with the thoughts of the wild king, assisting Ying Zheng and completely controlling the throne. I will climb to that peak step by step, step by step, and reach the highest point.
One person is inferior to ten thousand people.
