Ni Chu

"Burn this palace that was built with the blood and sweat of the descendants of the six countries." Knowing that the looting was over, Xiang Yu waved at the Chu army standing behind him and gritted his teeth, saying, "Ying Zheng wants his descendants to last forever." Living in this palace, I will make them completely cut off their thoughts and shatter Ying Zheng's dream."

The Chu soldiers standing behind Xiang Yu all responded, holding torches and flocking to the magnificent Qinhuang Palace.

When the first torch was thrown at the palace hall, Xiang Ye, who had been standing silently watching, couldn't help but feel a throbbing pain in his heart. After tonight, this great building that was condensed with the blood and sweat of countless people will turn into a piece of scorched earth. But he could only watch helplessly, unable to stop him at all.

Hundreds of torches were thrown by the Chu army on the roof and inside the palace building, and the fire spread rapidly.

Just after the flames burned, large swathes of dark clouds suddenly accumulated in the originally clear night sky. Along with billowing thick clouds, lightning bolts split the night sky, flickering the entire city of Xianyang.

"General, is this lightning punishment from heaven?" Seeing the lightning strike from the sky, Xiang Ye frowned, and a thought came to his mind. He hurriedly moved to Xiang Yu's side and whispered, "I don't think this palace will be destroyed." Burn it, don't really piss off God,"

After hearing Xiang Ye's words, Xiang Yu raised his head and laughed loudly. After laughing, he said to Xiang Ye: "What can the sky do? As long as you are strong enough, even if there is a sky, I can't do anything to you. In Xianyang City, I will definitely We must raze it to the ground and vent our anger for the descendants of the six countries,"

Xiang Ye sighed and stood aside silently. Xiang Yu's burning of the Xianyang Palace was obviously not a temporary idea, but after careful consideration. If he still tried to dissuade him, it would definitely cause Xiang Yu's displeasure. He watched helplessly as the fire grew hotter and hotter.

The dense clouds in the air gathered thicker and thicker, and accompanied by lightning and thunder, soybean-sized raindrops "crackled" and fell down.

The heavy rain poured on the burning flames, but the flames were not extinguished because of this, on the contrary, they jumped higher. The magnificent Xianyang Palace was panting in the fire, and the thick rafters were gnawed through by the flames, and fell down with a groan. It made a loud noise when it was on the ground.

The heavy rain lasted all night, but the fire also burned all night in the rain. The next morning, the sky seemed to give up the last effort. The heavy rain stopped, but the flames were still burning, and the scope spread more and more. .

During these days when the Xianyang Palace was engulfed by fire, Xiang Ye always watched the palace collapsed in the fire from afar in his spare time. I feel sorry for the civilization that was burned to ashes in the fire.

Qin Shihuang's burning of books and burying Confucianism was nothing more than burning all the folk classics. Except for a few that were hidden and not found, almost all the books were hidden in the treasury of the Qin Emperor's Palace.

Xiang Yu didn't select or transport these classics at all, he just let people burn the entire Qinhuang Palace roughly.

At first Xiang Ye wanted to persuade Xiang Yu to keep this magnificent building, but he didn't consider those classics. When he thought about it, the fire had already spread, and it was too late to rescue him. All he could do was hope He sighed while watching the burning fire.

After conquering Xianyang, Xiang Yu's anger did not subside because of the fire in the Qin Palace. He thought of another place, another place that was more luxurious than Xianyang.

More than 1 Chu troops marched towards Afang Palace under the leadership of Xiang Yu. Each of these Chu troops held an unlit torch in their hands. A Fang Gong's plan.

Xiang Ye followed behind Xiang Yu, and he didn't say a word all the way. Since entering Xianyang, Xiang Yu has been very excited. The fire in Xianyang Palace has not been extinguished. The palace with its walls of gold and its rivers of mercury was burned.

More than ten thousand Chu soldiers arrived outside Efang Palace, Xiang Yu frowned as he looked at the palace in front of him.

A Fang Palace is not as luxurious as he imagined. This magnificent palace in the legend is only built with a circle of palace walls, and the high platform in the palace is only laid with foundations. As for gold and mercury, there is no trace.

"Xiang Ye, do you think we've gone to the wrong place?" Looking at the palace in front of him, Xiang Yu frowned and called Xiang Ye to him and asked, "If Efang Palace is like this, it really isn't worth burning, but we can't even come here." Come, you can’t just go back like this.”

Looking at the unfinished palace in front of him, Xiang Ye smiled and said: "The luxury of Efang Palace is a folk rumor. Just imagine a palace that has not yet been built. Who would be stupid enough to move valuables here?"

Xiang Yu frowned, and stood in front of Efang Palace for a long time in thought. When he raised his head, Xiang Ye saw determination in his eyes.

"Go to Lishan," Xiang Yu waved his hand, and gave the order to transfer to Lishan to the Chu army who came with him.

Lishan is where the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang is located. Qin Shihuang, who unified the six countries, is now lying quietly under this mausoleum. Xiang Yu gave the order to advance to Lishan, so he naturally wanted to dig Qin Shihuang's mausoleum. , Let him die without peace.

Xiang Ye followed Xiang Yu to advance to Mount Li, but his heart was full of emotions. He finally understood why Xiang Yu would lose to Liu Bang in the future. Although Xiang Yu fought bravely and was like a god of war on the battlefield, he was very immature , Do things only on impulse, and don't think about many things at all.

With a character like this, competing for the world with the mature and prudent Liu Bang, even if Xiang Yu added a bit of martial courage, he could not be Liu Bang's opponent.

Xiang Ye followed Xiang Yu silently and led the team of more than [-] people to Mount Li.

Lishan Garden Mausoleum occupies a very large area and is divided into several mausoleum areas. Xiang Yu led the army here, looking at the pottery figurines all over the mountains and plains, he frowned, waved to the Chu army behind him and shouted: " Find it for me, find Ying Zheng, I will drag him out to flog his corpse and feed the wild dogs."

Tens of thousands of Chu troops responded and rushed towards Yuanling.

A group of Chu soldiers rushed into the formation of pottery figurines, pierced with spears and swords, and after destroying many pottery figurines, they still failed to find the entrance to Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum. Another group of Chu soldiers far away waved their hands and shouted: "Another array of pottery figurines has been found here."

With his hands behind his back, Xiang Yu stood in front of the imperial mausoleum and looked at the scattered Chu troops who were looking for the entrance of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum.

"General, the imperial mausoleum is too big, and Ying Zheng is a cunning man. When he was buried, he must have considered that someone would dig his tomb in the future. The place where the coffin was buried must be very secret. Don't say that we only have 1 people. If there are 1 people here, it may be hard to find." Seeing that the Chu army hadn't found the entrance to the tomb for a long time, Xiang Ye said to Xiang Yu: "Why don't we go back, now that the army has broken through Xianyang, King Huai is still waiting for news."

Xiang Yu frowned, and said to the soldiers beside him: "Go and tell them, let them set a fire here, let's go,"

Obtaining Xiang Yu's order, the Chu army took out the torches they brought with them one after another, and they threw the burning torches into the imperial tomb of Lishan Mountain. Soon, the imperial tomb was also ablaze.

Xiang Ye looked helplessly at the burning imperial tomb, shook his head and sighed.

Wu You, who was following him, heard him sigh, leaned into his ear and whispered: "Don't sigh, general, now is the critical period, but you must not annoy the general."

"No," Xiang Ye turned his head and said with his mouth close to Wu You, "I sighed just because I remembered something. When I was young, I liked to play with fire. The adults always told me that children would wet the bed at night when they played with fire. Look at this two consecutive days. I set the fire on, and I was thinking, back to Xianyang, how many soldiers should have to wet the quilt at night, "

"Hehe," Wu You shook his head and smiled, and stood aside.

Wu You has been doing one thing for the past few days, and he would go to Fan Zeng's every now and then, but every time he went, he would ask Fan Zeng to see him as a teacher, and he didn't mention anything related to Xiang Ye.

Wu You had already seen that Xiang Yu would return to Jiangdong shortly after the capture of Xianyang. All he had to do was to establish a good relationship with Fan Zeng before Xiang Yu returned to Jiangdong. will be more stable.

Looking at the raging fire and the rows of terracotta figurines that fell in the thick smoke and fire, a smile appeared on the corner of Xiang Yu's mouth. He hated the people of Qin and Qin Shihuang to the core. He is very happy to do things that people feel humiliated.

"Return to Xianyang," Qin Huangling groaned in pain in the flames, and Xiang Yu gave the order to the Chu army to retreat with a satisfied smile on his face.

Lishan Imperial Mausoleum did not burn for a long time, it was a place full of stones and clay, wood and other combustible materials were pitiful, and the fire in the imperial mausoleum was basically extinguished in the middle of Xiang Yu's retreat to Xianyang .

Gusts of wind whizzed past the imperial mausoleum, and patches of scorched black soil swirled with the wind, raising scorched black smoke and dust.

In the smoke and dust, rows of terracotta figurines that have not fallen stand upright. They are the last guardians of the Great Qin Empire. They are the warriors who will always guard the once glorious huge empire. They stand firm in the flames. They will, thousands of years later, tell future generations what happened here.

After returning to Xianyang, Xiang Yu ordered people to rush back to Pengcheng to report to King Huai that Xianyang had been captured, and Daqin had been wiped from the world since then.

While waiting for King Huai's will, Xiang Yu is still preparing for another matter, which is the marriage of Xiang Ye and Xiang Qing. Originally, Xiang Yu only thought about how to divide the world all day long, and had already put this matter behind him. If it wasn't for Fan Zeng's reminder from the side, I'm afraid it will take an unknown amount of time.
