Chapter 246 Prince Fusu
After beheading Shang Jun, Qin Mo flew over Xianyang on his sword.
As one of the most important royal cities in the world, Xianyang naturally had a large city defense formation. This was why Li Mu had to wait for Qin Mo to arrive before launching a general attack.
We must break this formation first.
Black Dragon Ao Que might be a good fighter, but he is definitely not a master of formations.
Qin Mo is actually not that either.
Fortunately, he had just collected 108 War Soul Banners, which was exactly the weapon to break the formation.
Qin Mo stretched out his hand and one hundred and eight fighting spirit banners appeared in the air. The demon kings on the banners roared to the sky with hideous faces, emitting endless violent aura.
For a moment, the negative energy was surging.
While the effect of the Broken Jade Technique had not yet disappeared, Qin Mo put his hands together and pointed, instantly setting up the Tiangang Disha Formation, which landed directly on the Xianyang city defense formation.
The latter emitted a scorching white light, like a giant bowl, upside down above the city of Xianyang.
One hundred and eight demon kings rushed out of the Battle Soul Banners, transformed into sky-splitting giants tens of meters tall, wrapped the Battle Soul Banners around their bodies , and exuded bursts of black evil energy.
Gradually,
The black evil spirits connected together to form a huge and boundless black vortex, with ghosts crying and wolves howling inside.
The wind was cold and chilly.
The vortex spun faster and faster, and in a flash, it formed a black hole-like existence, sucking on the city defense formation and absorbing the latter's spiritual energy.
Evil things like this are the nemesis of formations.
However, the city defense formation that was once so majestic was now dissolving at a speed visible to the naked eye. The evil black energy was like a virus, constantly eroding and polluting the spiritual energy formation.
Soon a huge hole was melted out.
In less than half a day, the Xianyang city defense formation was broken by Qin Mo.
This time I am really defenseless...
…
After finishing everything, Qin Mo returned to the camp outside the city and found Li Mu: "The rest is up to you."
Both Li Mu and the old Qin people actually knew that there was no suspense in the Battle of Xianyang anymore, and it was just a matter of finding the right scale.
Qin Mo believed that Li Mu would handle it.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty!" Li Mu's eyes were full of admiration.
If the previous King of Zhao had been half as capable as the King of Yue, Zhao would not have ended up like that...
After giving the instructions, Qin Mo was about to go into the big tent. The aftereffects of the Shattered Jade Technique had already begun to appear. His whole body was sore and weak, his meridians were swollen, and his blood was surging.
If it is not treated, it will leave sequelae.
At this moment, there was a commotion in Xianyang City not far away, accompanied by crying sounds one after another.
"Go and see what's going on."
Qin Mo stopped and frowned slightly.
After a while, a team of scouts approached the gate of Xianyang and seemed to have a "friendly" exchange with the Qin soldiers guarding the city before returning to the army.
turn out to be,
At the moment when the Xianyang city defense formation was broken, King Zheng of Qin committed suicide in the palace.
“…”
Qin Mo was stunned for a moment. There was no joy in his eyes, but rather a bit of regret.
original,
He planned to exile Ying Zheng to Japan to give him a chance to survive.
I never thought,
Ying Zheng was so strong that he would rather commit suicide than become a king who lost his country.
Hiccup~~~
Before Qin Mo could finish his sigh, the heavy gate of Xianyang city suddenly opened from the inside, and Fusu, the prince of Qin who was only fifteen years old, walked out slowly in white clothes .
"Your Majesty?" Li Mu was also a little at a loss.
"Let's go!"
Qin Mo had a calm expression. He walked out of the tent and waited quietly in front of the army.
But Prince Fusu, accompanied by Prime Minister Wei Liao and Imperial Chariot Officer Zhao Gao, knelt down and kowtowed to Qin Mo, "Qin is willing to surrender, and we beg the King of Yue to spare the innocent people."
Really kind.
Qin Mo accepted it with a clear conscience and said calmly: "Since Qin has surrendered, the people of Qin are my people. I will naturally treat them equally and there is no reason to kill them."
Although the sound is not loud,
The strange thing is that both the hundreds of thousands of Yue soldiers in the suburbs and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Xianyang city heard it clearly.
The soldiers of Yue State were naturally trembling in their hearts.
They knew that this was a warning from the king, forbidding them to burn, kill and loot after entering the city.
The people of Xianyang were certain.
This King of Yue does not seem to be as cruel as the legend says.
Everyone thought that after conquering Xianyang, the Yue army would massacre the city. The famous Shang Jun would not just kill people...
"The King of Yue is merciful!"
Prince Fusu knelt down again, but his body was shaking slightly.
The previous moment, he was a prince of Qin, and the next moment, he became a prisoner.
If nothing unexpected happens,
It is estimated that it will soon be secretly dealt with by the State of Yue.
The King of Yue could forgive the people of Qin, but there was no reason for him to let go of the Qin royal family.
We must eradicate the root of the problem.
Qin Mo looked at Fusu and said, "Someone come here!"
"I am here!" Li Mu stepped out.
Qin Mo: "Send someone to escort Prince Fusu back to the palace. Without my order, you are not allowed to leave the palace."
"promise!"
Li Mu stretched out his hand and a team of fully armed soldiers came out and took Fusu away.
Qin Mo had no intention of exterminating the Qin royal family, but he must not show too much mercy at this time, so as not to leave unnecessary illusions for the princes and nobles in the city.
Those people are watching in secret.
If Qin Mo's methods are too soft, then these old aristocratic families who are used to intrigue and deception will definitely pretend to obey and secretly do some small tricks behind the scenes.
As long as Qin Mo is tough enough, these people will hide in the shadows obediently.
Very simple logic.
"Where are you two?" Qin Mo looked at Wei Liao and Zhao Gao again.
“Plop!”
Zhao Gao immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times. He raised his head and said flatteringly, "I am willing to serve the King of Yue. I will do whatever the King of Yue orders me to do."
This is the only bargaining chip he can offer.
"From now on, you just stay by my side." With Qin Mo's strength, he naturally didn't worry that Zhao Gao would be able to jump out of his palm.
To other people, people like Zhao Gao are naturally bad people and treacherous ministers.
But for the king,
If people like Zhao Gao use it well, it can indeed be a good card.
Historically, the fact that Fusu and Hu Hai were fooled by Zhao Gao only shows that they were too weak. If Qin Shi Huang were still alive, Zhao Gao would never have risen.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Gao was overjoyed, and his face became even more charming.
Wei Liao, who was standing next to him, saw this and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes. He raised his head and said proudly, "No one in the old Qin is afraid of death. You can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you!"
"Is that so? Then I will grant your wish."
The purple sword light flashed and before Wei Liao could even utter any heroic words, a huge head rolled to the ground, blood gushing out from the broken end.
Dyed the earth red.
Qin Mo doesn't indulge anyone. If you want to be a tough guy, you must be prepared to be killed.
Zhao Gao almost peed himself.
Three people,
Three different destinies...
…
That afternoon, Li Mu received orders to lead his troops into Xianyang and take over key places such as the city gates, city walls, royal palace, treasury, prime minister's residence, and armory.
At the same time, troops were arranged to take over the city defense around Xianyang.
The next day.
Qin Mo, surrounded by generals including Wu Zhi and watched by the soldiers of Yue State, rode a tall horse and led his troops to officially enter Xianyang in a mighty manner.
The princes, nobles and common people of Xianyang "spontaneously" lined up on both sides of the street to welcome the arrival of the new king.
The scene was extremely spectacular.
Qin Mo did not hide anything and moved directly into the Xianyang Palace.
It is called Xianyang Palace.
Compared with the hastily built Royal Palace of Yue State, the Xianyang Palace was naturally several times more luxurious. However, Qin Mo had no intention of appreciating it and directly summoned all the generals to discuss the matter.
Now is not the time to really relax.
Take Xianyang,
It does not mean that the Qin State was conquered.
Not to mention Wang Jian's army that was rushing over, there were actually quite a few local troops stationed in various counties and prefectures in Guanzhong, and there were also border troops in the west and north.
All these things added together still form a very powerful force.
As the saying goes,
When a general is away from the court, he may not obey some orders from the king.
These armies and the generals who led them would never surrender to the Kingdom of Yue and accept its reorganization just because Prince Fusu offered the city in surrender.
army,
They are all full of blood.
If the situation was not handled properly, the generals would either raise their own troops and establish their own regime, or they would seize territory in the name of serving the king and become the backbone of the force resisting the rule of the Yue State.
It's easy to raise a tiger to cause trouble.
"What do you think we should do next?" Qin Mo asked.
Ao Lie, Wu Zhi and other generals subconsciously looked at Li Mu, wanting to hear what he had to say first.
The war to destroy Qin
As the commander-in-chief of the Yue army, Li Mu led his troops to victory after victory, especially in the battle in which he commanded the army to advance into Guanzhong. In just half a month, his command was so steady and his use of troops was so brilliant, which is truly worthy of praise.
As a result, Li Mu gained the recognition of the generals and established prestige in the army.
In contrast,
General Lian Po, who had been stationed in the rear, was a little lacking in performance.
Sensing the gazes from all directions, Li Mu did not look away and had no intention of speaking, as he did not want to steal the limelight.
Having learned from the previous experience of being suspected by King Qian of Zhao, Li Mu was very cautious.
The more victories you win and the greater achievements you make, the more you should avoid being arrogant. Otherwise, you will easily attract hidden attacks or even the suspicion of the king.
The trouble is not worth it.
What's more, Li Mu knew very well that the biggest contributor to the successful capture of Hanzhong and Xianyang was the king, not him as the general.
Under the conditions created by the king, if Lian Po or other generals came,
It's all the same.
There is nothing to be proud of.
Seeing that Li Mu was silent, Wu Zhi turned his gaze, stood up and saluted, saying: "Your Majesty, I think that at this moment, the first priority should be to annihilate Wang Jian's army."
If the local garrisons and remnant border troops were minor problems, then Wang Jian's army was the last trump card for Qin's comeback.
Be sure to kill it.
"Then how do we destroy them? Give them a head-on blow?" Qin Mo remained noncommittal.
"this……"
Wu Zhi's expression froze, and he said, "I think it's better to wait for the enemy to tire themselves out."
If they really sought a decisive battle with Wang Jian's army on the front battlefield, not only would the outcome be unpredictable, but it might also trigger a larger chain reaction because there were not enough troops to suppress Xianyang.
It's like dancing on the edge of a knife.
