The heavens start with Buddhist disciples

Chapter 74
Meng Tian looked at the swordsman in front of him and the rumbling sound coming from the distance. It was the Mo family's mechanism beast, the mechanism white tiger.The person in front of him was one of the leaders of the Mo family, Han Bingjian, Gao Jianli.

At the same moment, the other three leaders of the Mo family, Snow Girl, Robber Zhi, and Big Iron Hammer, also appeared on the battlefield.But unfortunately, they arrived half a day late, because half a day ago, the Chu army's leader Xiang Yan and the main force of the Chu army had been burned in the valley by Marshal Wang Jian's fire attack.

Of the 20 Chu troops, only 15 escaped.The Chu State's two-wing army totaled [-], plus the [-] troops who escaped, a total of [-], which is the entire strength of the Chu State today.After half a day's raid and pursuit by Meng Tian and Li Xin, less than [-] troops remained.After all, both Li Xin and Meng Tian came with an army of [-].

The Qin army's combat power was already stronger than that of the Chu army. Coupled with the superiority in numbers and momentum, the Chu army was not only vulnerable to a single blow, but was also beaten to pieces and completely defeated.If the Mo family hadn't come to the rescue at this time, maybe the remaining less than [-] soldiers and horses would have been left behind.

In Wang Jian's camp, Ji Ran and Wang Jian sat opposite each other. Wang Jian said to Ji Ran: "After this battle, the main force of the Chu army has been eliminated. As long as the remaining troops advance steadily, they can completely destroy Chu. We still need to rely on Mr. Xiang on the battlefield. Destroyed the Mo family's white tiger machine beast and reduced the casualties of soldiers."

At this time, Ji Ran was playing with a sword that was as blue as jade and emitted bursts of cold air.It was Gao Jianli's Shui Han Sword.

When Gao Jianli was confronting Meng Tian, ​​Ji Ran rushed to the battlefield and found Master Ban who was driving the Mohist white tiger machine beast and was rampaging through the military formation.Ji Ran leaped to the top of the white tiger's head, spun around, using the general's sword as the drill bit, and his body as the drill body, directly drilled from the white tiger's mouth into the cockpit located in the white tiger's abdomen.

The sword energy swept across and killed the three Mohist disciples in the cockpit, and Master Ban's machine arm was also cut into two pieces.Ji Ran pointed at Master Ban with his sword and said: "Stop the operation, follow me out, or die here."

Master Ban did not dare to resist and left the White Tiger cockpit with Ji Ran. He was tied up and arrested by the Qin army who caught up.Gao Jianli, who was not far away, saw this scene and came up to rescue Master Ban. Unfortunately, his swordsmanship was too poor and he was defeated by Ji Ran.

Ji Ran said to Gao Jianli: "It's enough for one teacher to die. There are fewer and fewer people with a heart for playing the piano. After all, this world of strife does not belong to you, so you should retire as soon as possible."

Gao Jianli saw that Ji Ran didn't seem to have any intention to kill him, and was about to pick up the Shui Han Sword on the ground and leave. Unexpectedly, Ji Ran said: "I let you go just because I hope you can devote yourself to being a musician, so you still have this sword." Keep it. If you insist on taking it away, you may even keep your own life."

After the war, looking at the devastated land and the corpses and bones everywhere, Ji Ran sighed inwardly. He came to the valley where Xiang Yan and 15 Chu troops were buried, and said to Bai Feng: "Today we will rest in this valley for the night." Bar!"

Although Bai Feng is not afraid of the sky, he is not afraid of the earth.But when he saw the numerous bones in the valley, he felt angry inside, but he still managed to remain calm in the valley.

When Wang Jian heard about Ji Ran's behavior, he didn't say much and just sent a message to Ying Zheng.

At night, Ying Zheng also walked into the valley. He smelled the burnt smell mixed with the smell of corpses in the air, which made the eternal emperor wrinkle his nose.

Ying Zheng asked Ji Ran: "Why do you want to stay here, sir?"

Ji Ran said: "I once read the book "Zhuangzi" written by the ancestor, in which the ancestor talked about an experience of his. "Yesterday, in the wilderness, I saw only bones piled together, lying speechless on the desert sand, and being blown by the wind. The rain is falling. When you are alive, you accumulate gold and jade, but after death you will not see any splendor. With three inches of breath broken, you bite your silver teeth and look up at the Xijiang River under the moon."

"Is this the situation described in the book?"

Ying Zheng was also chewing what was said in the book carefully, and it did make sense.

Ji Ran took out two more wooden tablets from his arms and handed them to Ying Zheng and said: "This was three days ago. When I was wandering in the military camp, I saw a pair of brothers smiling shyly, so I walked forward. It turned out that they were They are writing a letter home, and I also promised to send this letter home to them. You can also read it."

"Because when I went back today, I didn't find them in the military camp."

Ying Zheng took the bamboo slip and saw what was written on it: "I dare to ask my sincere heart. Is my mother well? The same thing inside and outside the home... With my sincere heart, my mother is well. I am with the army, and I am living with my husband, both. It’s okay.”

"...Money clothes, I hope my mother will send you five or six hundred yuan, and those who are good at cloth will not go down two feet or five feet.... Use the money of cypress, and the house will not be sent, and you will die. Urgent, urgent. I am surprised to ask about my new burden. , are you both fine? The new husband tried his best to look at the two elders..." (The Easter egg chapter is more exciting, it will explain the family letters of Hei Fu in detail, and see the pre-Qin Dynasty from the perspective of a soldier)

After seeing this, the iron-blooded and courageous emperor also closed his eyes, as if to prevent something from flowing out of his eyes.

Then he opened his eyes and said to Ji Ran: "I seem to understand what Sir has been pursuing and protecting. These soldiers, farmers, and people are not the numbers on the battle report in my hand. They are also whose children, who Whose father, whose brother, whose friend.”

"The flames of war trampled on ruthlessly, the nobles exploited unjustly, and they were the only ones who were injured in the end."

Ji Ran nodded and looked at Ying Zheng and said: "This is also the penultimate lesson I have always wanted to teach you. You must remember that a king is a boat; a common man is water. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. Today, the Great Qin Kingdom was exchanged for countless black men. He belongs to you as well as them."

"If you are an official, if you don't have the people in your heart, you might as well not do it. If you are a king, you should not only have the world in your heart, but also the tens of millions of people in the world."

"Today's great victory has eliminated one of the biggest obstacles on the road to unification. The only enemy of Da Qin is Li Mu of Zhao. You can go back. I will live here today."

Ying Zheng said: "I am also staying here."

At night, the two also discussed how to govern Qin and some subsequent strategic policies.

Ji Ran, who returned to the military camp the next day, first met with the five elders of the farm family. When the five of them saw the sword in Ji Ran's hand, they knew that Xia Kui had also been defeated by the people in front of them.So Ji Ran successfully exchanged their lives for their unique skills.

These secret skills include calculating the calendar and understanding the footwork by observing the movement of the stars; the domineering swordsmanship created by condensing the art of military killing; the physique that has tasted all kinds of herbs, is familiar with pharmacology, and is invulnerable to all poisons; and the swiftness of the sword that is realized when harvesting grains with a sickle. Dharma; water droplets penetrate the stone, penetrating into every hole, and the Buzhou Broken Palm emerges from this.

This added a lot of qualifications for Ji Ran to organize and create his own martial arts.

At the same time, Zhang Han reported to Ying Zhenghui: "Your Majesty, after investigation, the 300 elite troops dispatched by Lord Changping should be the elite martial arts warriors of the Qi State trained by Lord Mengchang, known as the 'Three Hundred Swords of the Book of Songs'." They were tortured The leader, Sword Master Jianjia, learned that they first followed Lord Mengchang and left Qi."

"Then he was put under the command of Lord Xinling and strengthened and strengthened by combining the training methods of martial arts warriors and Wei soldiers. Later, after the death of Lord Xinling, this army secretly came to Chu State and was put in charge of Xiang Yan, but in fact But it belongs to Lord Changping."

"Now, please let me know what to do with the thirty remaining prisoners and the 210 captured Book of Songs swords. Please let me know what to do with them."

After hearing the report, Ying Zheng felt a little angry and felt helpless: "None of these Liu Guogongs are simple. Mengchang Juntianwen can actually leave poison for nearly a hundred years, and his influence has not been completely eliminated until now. But I don't know What influence will my husband, Mr. Qian, have in the military camp?"

At this point, Ying Zheng no longer thought much about it and said to Zhang Han: "Since he is a martial artist from Qi, let's leave it to Master Xuan Xinzi and send him along with the more than 200 swords."

Zhang Han replied: "Wei!"

It was already the fifth day after the battle between Qin and Chu when Ji Ran received the thirty prisoners.Ji Ran looked at the 30 people in front of him, and couldn't help but think of the assassins and Tian Jia's companions he met in Jixia Academy.

But that was all in the past, and he no longer cared much about it.But he still remembered that Tian Jianyu wanted to destroy him.

Ji Ran said to them: "It seems that from today onwards, the fighters that Qi is proud of will remain in the long river of history forever."

Although the leader, Jian Jia, was wounded all over his body, he still said unconvinced: "Young Master belongs to the royal family of Qi. Why should you help Zhou to do evil and favor the Qin Dynasty at the expense of your own family's interests?"

Ji Ran did not answer him but continued: "Is there any of you who are willing to join my Zen sect as a protector?"

30 people looked at me and I looked at you, but in the end no one was willing.Ji Ran sighed and said: "Forget it, I am a living creature. Please inform the King of Qin that I have thirty strong men here who can be used to build the Great Wall in the north."

After that, he ignored the thirty dumbfounded Book of Songs Sword Masters.The leader, Jianjia Sword Master, was about to express his loyalty to Ji Ran, but found that Ji Ran was already gone.

Ji Ran selected [-] of the two hundred swords with the best quality, and handed over the remaining Iron Eagle Rui warriors to the King of Qin. If the King of Qin didn't care about them, he could consider melting them into large Iron Eagle Rui warriors. sword.

In the past few days, news has also come from Luowang that many young nobles of the Chu Kingdom were killed, including Xiang Liang, Xiang Yan's son, and Long Qie's father.

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao and was very dissatisfied with Luo Wang's ability to do things. In the past few days, the so-called dragnet and all-pervasive Luo Wang only killed two ordinary characters.Although Xiang Liang and Long Qie's fathers are also outstanding, their light is much dim compared to Xiang Shaoyu and Long Qie.

Zhao Gao said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, that Xiang Shaoyu has innate supernatural power and is extremely difficult for ordinary assassins to get hold of. And that Long Qie is also highly skilled in martial arts, and often lives in the military camp, eating and living with the soldiers, which is also very good." It’s hard to start.”

Ji Ran really didn't like Zhao Gao, so she said to Zhao Gao: "Xiang Shaoyu has a younger brother named Fan Zeng. He doesn't know martial arts and doesn't have the protection of a master. I think you should be able to succeed."

Ying Zheng also knew the importance of military advisors to an army, so he ordered Zhao Gao: "If Fan Zeng's head is not seen within ten days, I will take your head."

After a year of dealing with the aftermath, the dispute between Qin and Chu finally came to an end.However, Ying Zheng planned to take over Zhao State directly in one go.So the three armies went straight to Zhao State in a mighty manner.

Led by Li Xin, they left Jinyang with [-] soldiers.

Meng Tian led the way out of Shuozhou with [-] troops.

The Middle Route Army, led by Wang Jian himself, faced Zhao's main force head-on in Anyang.The main force of the Zhao State was none other than Li Mu, Lord of Wu'an, whom Ji Ran called Zhao Zhibaiqi.After Wang Jian arrived in Anyang, he found that there was a famine in Zhao land, and the people were starved of food, and there was even a phenomenon of exchanging children for food.

So Wang Jian traveled a long distance and sent some troops to surround Handan, while he personally led the main force out of Jingxing eastward.

Li Mu also did not expect that the Qin army would come so violently. After several battles with Wang Jian and finding that the Qin army was far more powerful than the current Zhao army, he adopted a strategy of fortifying the wall and clearing the field, and could not escape.

But Wang Jian planned to use counterintuitive tactics to drive a wedge between Li Mu and King Zhao.But before Wang Jian used his plan, he still found Ji Ran to discuss and perfect his plan.

Ji Ran said: "I will go into the city tonight and try to persuade Li Mu. If he refuses, you can use another trick."

At night, in Li Mu's military camp, Li Mu, who had just returned from patrolling the camp, was about to take a rest when he found a man sitting under the light. The man's shadow was wavering under the light, just like the world of Zhao State now. The Qin army is wandering alone in the wind and rain, and it is not known how long it can hold on.

Ji Ran asked: "Has the general ever farmed?"

When Li Mu saw the person coming, he had no intention of taking action. Although he still held the Zhenyue Sword tightly in his hand, his tone was calm and he said slowly: "Not yet."

Ji Ran asked again: "Has the general ever seen giving one's own children to others in exchange for other people's children to use as food rations?"

Li Mu took a deep breath and said, "Not really."

Ji Ran said: "That's right, the general's ancestor was an official of the Qin State, and his family's income is still very good. How about going out with me to have a look, the general?"

Li Mu refused: "Now that the national war is in full swing, how can Mu, as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, leave easily? You must know that eating the emperor's salary is a matter of loyalty to the emperor."

Ji Ran sighed and said: "General, do you think that the lives of 3000 million people in the world are not as good as the royal family of King Zhao? If you are not willing, sir, I can guarantee that King Zhao will not live for three days."

Li Mu was furious when he heard this, drew his sword and struck him, shouting: "How dare you!"

Ji Ran also pulled out Gan Jiang and fought with Li Mu for more than [-] moves, and then used the strange sword move of the Dementor Da Jiu Style to scratch Li Mu's shoulder, and slapped the Zhenyue Sword in his hand to the ground.

Ji Ran sighed and said: "The general's talent should not be wasted here. He should go to the northern border. That is the stage for you."

Li Mu was silent. He actually didn't want to face the Qin army, but as a minister, he had to do it.

Ji Ran saluted Li Mu and said, "I lived in the general's house many years ago. The general at that time was just a partial general, but the general's eldest son Li Tong was my roommate and classmate in Jixia Academy."

Li Mu looked at Ji Ran, who looked only 30 years old, and said, "You are the Qian boy from Qi State, but I think I should call you Young Master Qian."

Ji Ran smiled and said: "I have something to say to King Qin and the former Korean prince Han Fei. In my eyes, Qi, Chu, Qin, Yan, Zhao, Wei and Han are not independent. They have A common name is China."

Li Mu was silent again. He had never thought that as a member of the royal family, he would have no family and country in his heart. It was really incomprehensible.Ji Ran added: "If the general is willing to believe me, please have a good sleep. After all, it is not difficult for me to take the general's life."

Li Mu also gave up resistance and lay on the couch. Ji Ran's right hand was shaped like a sword finger and pointed between Li Mu's eyebrows.Li Mu seemed to see a three-legged golden crow explode in his mind, and then he seemed to see another world before his eyes.

At this time, Li Mu was floating in the air and saw scenes below.There were Jurchens dressed like Huns, armed with scimitars, and entered the palace-like building.Two people wearing bright yellow dragon robes and many princes and noble ladies were taken out of the palace.

Some noble girls were even naked, covered in dirt and filthy when they came out.The noble girl was so brave that she hit her head on the wall of the royal city and died.

As the scene turned, Li Mu seemed to see another palace that was slightly smaller in scale but more rugged in style.

There were people standing outside the Imperial Ancestral Temple in the palace.Flags were fluttering on the road and soldiers were arrayed.The same man in bright yellow sat high in the hall, staring straight ahead, as if waiting for something to arrive.

After a while, the bright yellow dragon robes and many princes and noble ladies that I just saw were escorted in prison cars and arrived in front of the Ancestral Temple.

It turns out that today is the day when the soldiers dressed like the Huns returned from victory and presented prisoners to their king.

After a while, a group of soldiers entered the tent, leading more than a few thousand prisoners of war. There were men in front, followed by more than 1000 female prisoners.

Hearing an order, all the prisoners of war, both men and women, took off their shirts, lay on the ground, covered themselves with sheepskins, crawled into the Ancestral Temple like sheep walking, and bowed their heads and knelt before the shrine in the Ancestral Temple.

After the worship, they were driven to crawl at the feet of the man sitting high in the center and kowtow in apology.The leaders were the two men wearing bright yellow dragon robes.After the two men finished kowtowing, the people sitting high up immediately gave them the titles of Duke Huunde and Marquis Chonghun, ridiculing them for their incompetence.

But these two people, the former kings, did not dare to complain at all, and obediently bowed their heads to thank him for his "grace".

The scene turned again, and a general took off his armor in a pavilion. On his back, he saw the four characters "Serve the Country with Loyalty" written clearly.

The general also picked up his spear and wrote a sentence on the pillar of the pavilion:

"Burning with anger, leaning on the railing, resting in the rain."

"Lift our sight, the sky and shouts, grand, vehement.

"Thirty years of fame and dust and soil, eight thousand miles of cloud and moon."

"Don't wait for a moment, white your young head, empty and sorrowful."

"Jingkang is ashamed, but it's still not snowed."

"When will the hatred of the courtiers be eliminated?"

"Driving a long car and breaking through the shortage of Helan Mountain."

"Ambition to eat Hulu meat, laugh at the thirsty Xiongnu blood."

"Be from scratch, clean up the old mountains and rivers, overturned Que."

After writing it, the general died of hatred.The blame turned out to be "unfounded."
