Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 347 The Yi Tribe

Wang Ye, who was leaning on the stairs, spit out a mouthful of blood, shifted his gaze slightly, looked at Meng Tian, ​​and said with a sad smile:
  "Ahem... As expected, he is a descendant of the Meng family. How did you tell that?"

Meng Tian glanced at Ying Zheng first, and then replied when he saw that he was silent:

"Although there are many flaws in Mr. Zuo's remarks, those unreasonable points are not enough to remind me of... Mr. Shang's identity. But when I broke into Mr. Gu Xun's camp that day, I got A reminder from him.”

"'Chenglong is dead, and Qin has only one young master.'"

"It was this sentence that finally made me make a bold guess, and this guess can also perfectly explain what was unreasonable before."

"It's him...ahem..." Wang Ye was a little surprised, "When did you communicate, was it the day you broke into the camp?"

Wang Ye carefully interrogated the soldiers who were there at the time, and the answer he got was that Meng Tian only said a few nonsense words to Gu Xun, so he didn't pay much attention to that matter.

"Hey!" Gu Xun, who was standing aside and looking at the scenery, heard the mention of himself and chuckled, "Just when you two were leaving."

"Of course, only Meng Tian can hear my words."

"I see, is it the Taoist method of transmitting sounds of nature..." Wang Ye has been a general for many years and has extensive knowledge. As soon as he heard what Gu Xun said, he thought of the closest secret method.

Gu Xun curled his lips and did not go out of his way to correct his statement.

Anyway, the basic principles of small techniques like transmitting sounds into secrets are the same.

Ying Zheng took a few more steps forward, raised his head slightly, looked at Wang Ye who was slumped on the stairs, and asked in a deep voice:
  "Wang Ye, I never understand, why do you want to assassinate me?"

"You are a veteran general with outstanding merits. Our Great Qin treats you well. Why on earth...why?"

Ying Zheng still can't figure out what's wrong with him to allow an old general to deliberately murder him?

"Haha, are you treating me well?" Wang Ye looked up to the sky and laughed sadly, his tone full of dissatisfaction and resentment, "What about Great Qin's treatment of Lord Wu An?"

"Bai Qi?" Ying Zheng murmured in confusion.

What does this have to do with nothing? And what does Bai Qi have to do with me?

Wang Ye didn't look at anyone, he still looked at the sky with his eyes full of sadness, and continued to talk to himself:

"In the past, after the great victory in the Battle of Changping, Lord Wu An submitted a letter requesting a direct march to Handan, but was blocked by Ying Hou Fan Sui. The matter was abandoned, and King Zhao personally gave up this excellent opportunity to capture Handan."

"Afterwards, King Zhao insisted on attacking Handan. Lord Wu An wrote three times to remonstrate with no result. In the end, he was defeated and 200,000 troops died in the battle."

"As a result, Mr. Wu An was forced to commit suicide in the end!"

Wang Ye lowered his head again, stared at Ying Zheng fiercely and roared:
  "The military god who never failed in his life ended up dying in a war that he didn't participate in at all. How ridiculous! How sad!"

After listening to Wang Ye's self-report, Ying Zheng's face turned stiff and he was speechless.

He really didn't know what to say at the moment - you just said a lot of things, which one is related to the widow?

In other words, he must maintain his identity, otherwise Ying Zheng would really like to spray him, and all this would be a mess!

After Wang Ye confided the inner demons that had been pent up in his heart for decades, he felt that the situation was over and everything was over. He did not want to accept Qin Lu's judgment anymore. He looked up to the sky and sighed:
  "Jun Wu An, you have gone to hell, and you will be with me whether you live or die!"

Then, there was no more sound. Genie stepped forward and rushed forward, stretched out his hand to feel his breath and heart pulse, turned around and shook his head and said, "He has already committed suicide."

Ying Zheng looked at the old corpse without feeling any pity or intolerance.

If Bai Qi was forced to death by Ying Zheng, and Wang Ye sought revenge on him, he would still be willing to look high on him and at least give him a decent face after death, but...it is clearly the debt of King Zhao, and you seek revenge on me, King Qin Zheng, What's the point?
  Ying Zheng turned around, no longer looking at Wang Ye's body, and turned his attention to Meng Tian:
  "Are you Meng Wu's son and Meng Ao's grandson?"

"Final General Meng Tian!" Meng Tian said his name, which was regarded as an answer to Ying Zheng.

"Very good!" Ying Zheng raised his lips with a satisfied smile.

Although he was very angry because of Wang Ye's reason for rebelling, Ying Zheng was still overjoyed to have this unexpected gain from Meng Tian.

It is rare to be able to withstand the pressure of superior officials and the asymmetry of information to find out the truth.

Although he got some hints from Gu Xun, Ying Zheng already had a high opinion of Meng Tian. After all, it was impossible for ordinary people to think that Ying Zheng would abandon his family and leave the palace and appear mysteriously in the border camp.

"Bold and careful, loyal to the king, Meng Tian... you are very good. The Meng family is worthy of being the pillar of our Qin Dynasty."

Before Meng Tian could say something modest and express his gratitude, Ying Zheng shouted softly:
  "Meng Tian takes the order!"

"The general is here!"

"I have personally ordered that from now on, the Pingyang Heavy Armor Army will be temporarily managed by Qian Chang Mengtian."

The good news of suddenly being promoted to three levels in a row, from Qian Chang to Commander, did not make Meng Tian overjoyed, nor did it make him feel a sudden increase in pressure. His eyes remained firm, and his body did not move at all. He just lowered his head and loudly received the order:
  "I will thank you, Your Majesty!"

Then, Ying Zheng took out his personal seal and handed it to Meng Tian.

Without this thing, Meng Tian would not be able to convince the remaining three captains in the camp.

Don't worry about Wang Yan's deputy general. If the general plots rebellion, he will be dead.

After temporarily promoting Meng Tian, ​​Ying Zheng issued the first order:
  "The corpses of Wang Ye and a group of rebels were hung on the wall of the stronghold and exposed for ten days. The military camp was carefully inspected. Anyone involved in the rebellion would be severely punished. All Wang Ye's personal guards would be hanged."

"I will obey your orders." Meng Tian didn't say a word and just accepted the order.

He knew very well that Ying Zheng was treated leniently. Otherwise, the entire Pingyang Heavy Armor Army would be involved. Even if he didn't die, punishment would be inevitable.

Three thousand heads is already considered a small number.

Of course, these are not the real punishments for Wang Ye's rebellion.

According to the law, the three tribes of Yi are plotting rebellion and killing the king!
  The three clans are Wang Ye's father's clan, which is Wang's original family, his mother's clan, which is Wang Ye's mother's clan, and his wife's clan, which is Wang Ye's wife's clan.

Even so, it is still not enough. All the people involved in his promotion process must be reviewed. Anyone who is even slightly involved in rebellion does not need evidence. At the least, his family will be confiscated and exiled, and at the most serious, he will be beheaded.

After returning to Xianyang, Ying Zheng had to kill many people just because of Wang Ye's rebellion!
  When the emperor was angry, millions of corpses were floating in the oars with blood. It was no lie. Killing tens of thousands of people was a bit exaggerated. After all, the total population of Qin was only a few million, but hundreds of thousands were nothing...

In order to maintain the majesty of the king, this kind of killing is necessary.

　There is no exact explanation for the three Yi tribes. I just chose one of them that seems to be more obvious and has a more serious end.
