The Demon Soul is Coming

Liu Sang murmured: "If you say that... is he the real immortal?"

"Indeed," Fusu nodded, "Because he will never grow old, others believe that he is a general sent by heaven to help the Qin Kingdom prosper. Although he commanded many battles, he often hides the truth." Behind the scenes, just like the Battle of Changping, on the surface the main general is Wang Lu, but he himself rarely appears in front of people, and when he does appear, he always wears a mask so that others will not regard him as a demon. The more he is As mysterious as he was, the six nations became more afraid of him, until the news of his death quickly spread, all the six nations congratulated, because they hated that young man to the extreme, and at the same time feared him to the extreme."

Ghost Shadow sighed: "In the entire Warring States period, more than 200 million people died in battle, and half of them were killed by him alone. It is a strange thing that the Six Kingdoms are neither afraid nor hated."

Shan Tianqi said: "He is not only a star from the sky, but also made immortal military exploits for Qin, why does King Zhaoxiang want to kill him?"

"Bai Qi regards human life as worthless. In the first battle of Changping, he killed 40 people. The cruel method, not to mention the Six Kingdoms, even the interior of Qin, was also horrified by it. At the same time, his temper is indeed too proud , At odds with Qin Xianghou and General Fan Ju," Fusu said, "After the Battle of Changping, Bai Qi wanted to take advantage of the victory to destroy Zhao and Han. He personally besieged Qin Ying and Handan. Frightened by Han and Zhao, they secretly sent secret envoys to bribe Fan Ju with a lot of money. At that time, Bai Qi's achievements, even Zhou Zhijiang Shangdu Fabi, will definitely be named Sangong. You, Fan Ju, can only be ranked under Bai Qi, and with Bai Qi's temperament, you two have past festivals. How can I tolerate you?

After hearing this, Fan Ju thought it was true, so he spoke to King Zhaoxiang, saying that if he continued to fight, although Zhao State could be destroyed, the soldiers under him were exhausted, and what they got was Zhao State, a land of hundreds of battles.The territory of the state of Qin extends to the state of Yan in the north.It reaches Qi State in the east and Han Wei in the south, bordering all countries at the same time, and all countries will surely attack in groups.In addition, the people of Zhao State were affected by the battle of Changping.I don't know how many people's relatives died at the hands of Bai Qi.Under the hatred, it is bound to respond to other countries, but Qin is in trouble.King Zhaoxiang believed Fan Ju's words.Han and Zhao were allowed to cede land to seek peace, and in preparation for the exhaustion of Qin's soldiers, Bai Qi was ordered to withdraw his troops. "

"After Bai Qi received the order, in front of the generals, he yelled at the traitor for harming the country, but the order had come, and he had to listen, so he sighed and said, 'Sure enough, there is still no way to change', so he withdrew his troops and returned to Qin. But no one could figure out what he meant by these words, and after returning to China, his spirits also became depressed." Fu Su continued, "Bai Qi and Fan Ju were originally at odds, so far, the two Even more enmity was formed, and Fan Ju began to slander King Zhaoxiang repeatedly. At that time, King Zhaoxiang was already old, and he gradually became suspicious of Bai, but what really made him murderous was another matter. "

Liu Sang and others looked at him together.

"It was at the celebration banquet for Bai Qi's return from Zhao Guo's class, everyone toasted, and Bai Qi was also very drunk," Fusu said, "His achievements can be called unparalleled in the past, not to mention At the celebration banquet again, the generals drank happily. Some people flattered Bai Qi, saying that as long as General Bai is there, why should we worry about our country, Qin, not being able to sweep away the six kingdoms and establish a great cause for all eternity. When Bai Qi heard this, he spit out wine Come on, let out a sneer, patted the man's shoulder and said with a drunken smile: "Where did the ten thousand lives come from? Let me tell you, there are two lives, and the two lives will perish. This is written in the textbook, and no one can change it.'" [

Huangfu Cheng and Gui Ying looked at each other, they both wanted to say such words, no matter what kind of emperor they heard, they would feel uncomfortable, but they didn't notice that the expression of the young man beside them changed slightly, and they were shocked.

Fusu said again: "Bai Qi himself just drank too much wine, and he didn't take it to heart afterwards, but this word was passed to King Zhaoxiang by someone with a heart, and King Zhaoxiang was naturally angry and suspicious. And in September of that year, only half a year after he and Bai Qi withdrew from Zhao State, King Zhaoxiang also began to realize that after the Battle of Changping, he did not take the opportunity to destroy Zhao State, which was indeed a great opportunity lost, and he regretted it , ordered Bai Qi to attack Zhao again, but this time, Bai Qi claimed that he could not afford to be sick. In addition, Fan Ju did not want to see Bai Qi continue to make contributions, so he raised Wang Ling to replace him. Wang Ling led troops to attack Handan, and repeatedly attacked However, King Zhaoxiang had no choice but to increase his troops, but was defeated by the State of Zhao, and lost more than [-] people at once. King Zhaoxiang had no choice but to order Bai Qi to take the place of the king's tomb and lead the army to destroy Zhao, but Bai Qi could not do anything. unwilling to fight."

Liu Sang sighed: "Opportunities on the battlefield are fleeting. If you miss it, you will miss it. At that time, you didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue it. If you send troops again a few months later, the situation will be very different."

"Bai Qi also said the same thing," Fusu said, "he said to King Zhaoxiang that Handan was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Thanks to the great victory that day, the entire Zhao Kingdom, from the king to the ministers, lost their fighting spirit. Zhao will continue to attack South Korea, and the world is settled. But now, Zhao has rectified the hearts of the people, and the whole country has become a mourning army. In addition, the princes of all countries have complained about Qin for a long time. Our army is far away from the mountains and rivers. Now, it is possible to capture Handan. King Xiangzhao refused to listen and urged him to go to battle, but he refused no matter what. King Xiangzhao had no choice but to use Wang Yan as a general to lead an army to besiege Handan. He could not attack for a long time. Lord Chunshen of Chu State and Lord Xinling took the opportunity to send hundreds of thousands of troops to the aid of Zhao State, causing heavy casualties to the Qin army. Only then did King Zhaoxiang know that Bai Qi made a mistake in his judgment. When Bai Qi heard the news of the defeat of the Qin army, he laughed at home and said, "The King of Qin didn't listen to my plan, what now?" King Zhaoxiang was furious after hearing this, and forced Bai Qi to send troops. Although Bai Qi was forced to accept the order, But procrastination."

Liu Sang said: "I guess he didn't want to leave a stain on his life. Since he led the army, he has won more than [-] battles, big and small, without a single defeat. But at that time, even if he went to the front line, he couldn't change the defeat. What is a famous general? ?The most important thing about being a famous general is not bravery, but 'judgment of the situation'. With his general talent, he naturally knows that the overall situation is settled. If he goes to the front line, the defeat will be counted on him,' Ren Tu'Bai Qi's reputation as a general who had never been defeated on the battlefield was broken. It's just that he cherishes his feathers so much, and King Zhaoxiang, who was already dissatisfied with him, couldn't think of killing him."

Fusu said: "That's true! Reports of defeat and retreat keep coming, but Bai Qi is still delaying. King Zhaoxiang was furious, and Fan Ju took the opportunity to speak out, saying that Bai Qi dared to win but not to lose, in order to keep him in the game. The lofty prestige in the army, so that after the death of King Zhaoxiang, he can support himself. At that time, King Zhaoxiang was almost 70 years old, and Bai Qi was still young. King Zhaoxiang was afraid that after his death, Bai Qi People can control, and then think of Bai Qi's drunken words of "two generations and death" after Qin ruled the world, who killed the Great Qin? Could it be in the hands of Bai Qi? You know, at that time Bai Qi had already been killed. Sealed as Lord Wu'an, and then sealed, only the 'Three Dukes', by then, he will really be under one person, above ten thousand people, if he takes the great achievement of destroying the six kingdoms again, with his powerful strength and extraordinary general Cai, if he refuses to be Jiang Shang, but wants to be King Wu of Zhou, who can stop him? Therefore, King Zhaoxiang sent an envoy to order Bai Qi to kill himself. Many strong masters hide around, and once they resist in vain, they will attack in groups."

Liu Sang said: "Bai Qi escaped?"

Fu Su shook his head and said: "No, he is indeed dead. It is said that he just smiled and said 'Dream should wake up', and then he drew his sword and killed himself as ordered."

Huangfu Cheng and Gui Ying were puzzled: "Since he is already dead, then the later 'Killing God' is in vain..."

Fu Su said: "I don't know exactly what happened, but I only know that although Bai Qi killed himself at that time, when he sent his body back to Xianyang, another strange thing happened. Unidentified mysterious assassins suddenly appeared, and many of the masters sent by King Zhaoxiang turned their backs, and they cooperated with each other and took away Bai Qi's body. Although King Zhaoxiang sent people to investigate with all their strength, they couldn't find out those assassins at that time In addition, many people confirmed that Bai Qi was indeed dead, so the matter was suppressed. Within a few years, King Zhaoxiang also died of old age, and King Xiaowen died suddenly after only three days after succeeding to the throne. My grandfather, King Zhuang Xiang, succeeded to the throne and died of illness three years later. My father, the emperor, succeeded to the throne at the age of 13. But Bai Qi reappeared ten years later. At that time, he suddenly appeared He became the number one swordsman by my father's side, but when he reappeared, his temperament has changed drastically, not only has he lost his high-spirited spirit back then, but he has also become taciturn."

Liu Sang pondered for a while, and said: "Since the prince already knows that the two Bai Qis are the same person, has he never investigated the matter of Bai Qi's body being robbed?"

Fu Su said: "Although I have checked, I have generally figured out the mastermind behind it, but..."

Liu Sang suddenly said, "Lu Buwei?"

Fu Su was startled, staring at him firmly: "How do you know?"

Liu Sang breathed out slowly: "I guessed it." He smiled and said, "When Bai Qi's body was robbed, Emperor Shi Huang was born not long ago, and Bai Qi reappeared after Lu Buwei was killed. I don’t know if Caomin’s guess is correct?” [

Fusu continued to stare at him: "That's right... how did you know?"

Liu Sang said indifferently: "The story of Lu Buwei's 'extraordinary goods can live' is unknown. King Qin Xiaowen and King Qin Zhaoxiang died unexplainably for two consecutive Qin kings. Your father succeeded to the throne until the ten years when he really took power. Empress Dowager Zhao Ji basically controlled the entire state of Qin. At that time, everyone was already suspecting that the deaths of King Xiaowen and King Zhuang Xiang were related to him, but there was no evidence, or even if there was evidence, they would not dare to accuse him. I can't think of anyone else who has the ability and courage to touch Bai Qi's corpse, except for Lu Buwei who has been secretly eyeing the entire Qin country."

Fu Su sighed: "It seems that there are not many things in this world that you can hide from you."
