Qin Renhuang just became an immortal, and you told me this is the prehistoric time

Chapter 87: Calculation, secrets of military defeat, witches and strong men, and the unfathomable Li Si!

At the beginning, Ying Zheng was able to rise from a mere mediocre person to the first emperor who founded a unified empire. Naturally, he had no lack of skill and ability.

But the most important thing is that he has gathered a large number of outstanding people around him.

Such as Wang Jian, Meng Wu, Yao Jia, Feng Quji and Li Si, etc., Li Xin is also among them.

Moreover, among the many famous ministers and generals gathered by Ying Zheng, Li Xin was one of the most famous.

Because since Li Xin took command of the army, he had only suffered a major defeat once, which resulted in the loss of hundreds of thousands of Qin troops and almost ruined Qin Shi Huang's great cause of unification.

For this reason, after the Qin Dynasty conquered all the states and completed the great cause of unification, Ying Zheng hastily appointed Li Xin as the Marquis of Longxi and kept him in obscurity ever since.

Even in later generations, there were rarely any traces of him. Even after the fall of the Qin Dynasty, there was no news of Li Xin.

It was as if this person had been wiped out from the world and disappeared from the long river of history.

But in fact, there are still traces of him left in later generations, that is, the descendants of Li Xin were active in later dynasties.

"He is a great general of the Qin Dynasty and a great military strategist in the world. He has the cultivation to the peak of the Xuanxian realm, but he can only live in this remote place. It is really comfortable for Marquis Longxi to have such a state of mind!" Li Si said coldly, his eyes full of mockery.

There is a difference between civil officials and military officials. As a civil official, he naturally couldn't bear to see butchers fighting on the battlefield with blood on their hands.

Even though he is the one who needs help from others, he still cannot avoid sarcasm and ridicule.

"What's the difference between you and me?"

Li Xin smiled, not paying attention to the sarcasm in Li Si's words, and said calmly: "Yes, it's really different. You have been demoted to a commoner. Not only have you lost everything, but you are left with only a prison cell and are about to die. You are worse than this marquis!"

"Xianyang City is my prison, and this village is your cage!" Li Si said quietly.

The words fell!

Li Xin did not refute. He looked up at Li Si and did not say anything. He just remained silent.

Because these words touched his heart!

At the beginning, the reason why Li Xin retired after being conferred the title of Marquis of Longxi was that he was really defeated and hundreds of thousands of Qin soldiers were killed.

Even if Ying Zheng had personally pardoned him when he was alive, the people of Qin would not forgive him.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and every household hung white silk!
How sad and angry this is!
You know, in the history of the Qin Dynasty, there were only a few such tragic defeats.

The last time was in front of Hangu Pass, when the Taoist saint Laozi converted a barbarian into a Buddha and led the great disciple of Jiejiao, Duobao Taoist, to Lingshan and become the leader of Mahayana Buddhism. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Hangu Pass were converted and went to the West to become monks in the Three Thousand Buddha Countries at the foot of Lingshan.

Secondly, the reason why Li Xin retired was also because of that great defeat. The cause was that Changwen Jun, who was once the Junior God of Life of the Old Chu, and his brother Changping Jun, who was also the former Grand God of Life of the Old Chu, conspired to rebel.

When Li Xin led his troops to attack Chu, he led tens of thousands of strong men trained by witchcraft to launch a sneak attack on the rear of Li Xin's army, eventually causing Li Xin's army of hundreds of thousands to be defeated and killed.

The defeat in this battle almost meant the end of Qin's national destiny and fate.

If it weren't for the fact that Ying Zheng entrusted Wang Jian with the destiny of the country and Wang Jian sacrificed his own future in cultivation, and finally conquered the old Chu, the great cause of the unification of the Qin Dynasty would have been blocked halfway.

But it is precisely because of this that Wang Jian stopped at the peak of the Xuanxian realm and has not been able to break through to this day.

Otherwise, with Wang Jian's achievements and prestige, how could he still be a Xuanxian now, when he has already become a great cultivator in the Golden Immortal Realm?

You have to know that Meng Tian, ​​a latecomer, had already broken through many years ago and became a great cultivator in the Golden Immortal Realm. "The Great Qin today is no longer what it was when Zulong was still alive!"

Li Si cast his eyes over to the silent Li Xin and said calmly, "Xia Wuqie from the Imperial Hospital has already found traces on Bao Yun's body!"

"Although the military magic is secret, the method of borrowing a corpse to revive the soul is too mysterious. In the Qin Dynasty, the number of people who are proficient in this magic can be counted on one hand!"

"Back then, the conspiracy between Lord Changwen and Lord Changping led to the defeat of the hundreds of thousands of troops you led. Lord Changwen is your teacher, and he will definitely not attack you. However, those strong men created by the witchcraft will not recognize you."

Li Si did not press further, but instead brought up this secret story from before the unification of the Qin Dynasty, and said, "You were able to escape from tens of thousands of witches and wizards because you relied on your military skills to revive. Even if you have been in seclusion for many years and the court has gradually forgotten about it, someone will eventually remember it."

"At that time, can you still hide it?"

"Can you still hide from it?"

Prior to this, Yang Rui brought the corpse of Court Justice Bao Yun to find Xia Wuqie, a famous medical practitioner, and found three traces of magical powers on the corpse.

They are Taoism, Confucianism and Military Science, among which the latter is the most obvious.

Because Bao Yun used the military power to revive a corpse and appeared in the court before being discovered, without even arousing anyone's vigilance and attention.

That night, there was turmoil in Xianyang City. A man in brocade clothes sneaked into the Xianyang Palace and confronted Ying Xuan, but was suppressed by Linglong. One of his fake bodies was even blown up.

At that time, Ying Xuan once asked the man in brocade clothes who was the person who helped him to occupy Bao Yun's body with his magical power of resurrection, but the latter did not answer. He just smiled and said that it was someone Ying Xuan would never have thought of.

And now, Li Si's words undoubtedly revealed the answer!
The person who attacked Bao Yun and used his magical power of resurrection to revive him after his death was none other than Li Xin!

As one of the few remaining military strategists in the world, Li Xin does have the skills and means to do so.

However, he had been in seclusion for many years and had long been forgotten by the court, so no one suspected him.

The most important thing is, no one believed that the Marquis of Longxi would actually rebel against Qin and even secretly kill Tingwei, one of the Nine Ministers!
"If Zulong were still alive, I'm afraid you wouldn't dare to have such a bold idea. You actually want to overthrow the Qin Dynasty... Humph, your ambition is big enough!" Li Xin's tone was cold, and he looked at Li Si with a hint of hostility, and a hint of red seemed to appear in his eyes.

"Although Buddhists are a bunch of hypocrites, there is a sentence in their Buddhist scriptures that I like very much and it is very well said."

Li Si stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the smoke rising from the village, and said calmly: "If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth!"

Many years ago, Li Si's cultivation had reached the peak of the Golden Immortal Realm, but he had been unable to break through!

Because the Legalist school’s road had come to an end…at least Li Si had reached the end, and he could no longer see any further road ahead.

Therefore, he must find another way!

To achieve this, the entire Qin Dynasty must be overthrown!

"If you don't work for yourself... Can the method you mentioned really help you break through?" Li Xin frowned.

He was moved by the "method" that Li Si talked about, which is why he secretly conspired with Li Si and did a series of things to betray the Qin Dynasty.

This matter was kept so secret that even Zhao Gao, who was previously considered to be the person closest to Li Si, did not know about it.

The latter only knew that Li Si had amazing means, and had secretly won over many court officials and generals, and had many hidden cards, but they did not know who were the people who conspired with Li Si.

Even Li Xin...is just one of them.
