Chapter 247 Heaven Cries (1)(1/2)
Chapter 247: The Crying of Heaven (1)
In fact, Liu Kan knew very well that since things had evolved to this point, Wang Li and others dared to blatantly take out the edict and read it, there was only one reason: the edict was true! This "true" did not mean that the edict was written by the First Emperor. The First Emperor was dead, how could it be issued again? The edict in Wang Li must meet all the details needed for the real edict.
In addition to the material, text format, etc., the most important thing for an edict is the emperor's seal.
The jade seal has been obtained by Wang Li!
Liu Kan was sure of this matter, but he always had a hope. He didn't want to hear Fusu tell the truth with his own ears, so he had to use the excuse to resist Wang Li. On the way to the gate of the General's Mansion, Liu Kan walked very slowly, thinking about how to deal with it while walking.
The loyalty of these soldiers under Meng Tian should not be doubted.
But when facing a real edict, how much loyalty can these soldiers still exist? I am afraid it needs to be considered!
Whether it is Meng Tian or Fusu, their power all comes from the emperor...
Liu Kan stopped under the steps of the mansion gate, clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and walked up the steps. Tu Tu came forward, and he looked at his appearance, and it seemed that he was not shaken. After all, Tu Tu could have the same today as Meng Tian and Fusu. Putting aside his disbelief, he did not believe that Meng Tian and Fusu rebelled, but from a private perspective, even if the edict was true, Tu Tu could not betray him.
"June..."
Tu Tu walked to Liu Kan and wanted to speak.
Liu Kan stopped him.
In fact, judging from the actions of the iron armored soldiers in the mansion, I believe someone has begun to shake. After all, they are always Qin people.
"Follow me to watch the watchtower!"
The watchtower is a building that many wealthy families basically have.
Its effectiveness is the same as the watchtower. In the 500th year of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, especially in the late Warring States Period, the scale of wars became larger and more frequent. After the war, hunger and devastated people were everywhere. As a result, bandits were thriving and chaos was caused in various places.
The soldiers and horses of various countries are fighting together, and it is hard to say that they can draw out their troops to wipe out bandits.
When the government and court are no longer trusted, people inevitably put their hopes on themselves. Many wealthy families will strengthen the defense measures in the palace to protect their property. This watchtower also emerged, mainly responsible for detecting the enemy situation.
After Emperor Qin Shi unified the six kingdoms, the role of the watchtower gradually changed from the early defense of the enemy to the use of entertainment.
However, Jiuyuan City is a military town, and Meng Tian’s mansion naturally has such a building. I didn’t expect it to be used so quickly.
The viewing platform is not large in size and can only accommodate four or five people.
Liu Kan looked out of the mansion on the watchtower and saw that the soldiers were stretching out on the long street.
In the distance, the sound of horns is still endless. You can vaguely see some weapons coming in a steady stream.
It seems that Wang Li is preparing to attack!
The location of the General's Mansion is in the center of Jiuyuan City. It is in a fan shape in front of the mansion, and the field of view is very wide.
There were about a thousand Qin soldiers, who were lined up outside the gate of the mansion. About three hundred steps away from the gate of the mansion, Wang Li was wearing military uniform and standing on the military chariot. Next to Wang Li, there was a light chariot, which was still supported by an umbrella cover. There was a man in gorgeous clothes under the umbrella, who was proudly talking to Wang Li. Liu Kan couldn't hear it, but he could see that the origin of this man was unusual.
"Mao Mausou, who is that person?"
Liu Kan asked the man in the gorgeous clothes on the car with a finger.
Tu Tu looked at the awning with his hands and said softly: "That person is the envoy of the court, Zhao Sheng, the new Jiuyuan Army Supervisor."
Zhao Gao has two brothers.
Although he was a eunuch, he took great care of his relatives. His eldest brother Zhao Cheng was arranged in the military camp by him, and later transferred to the lieutenant army, first as the doctor and later as the cavalry Sima, who was basically the same level as Liu Kan's cavalry general. Now he is the lieutenant.
The other brother is this Zhao Sheng.
He was arranged by Zhao Gao to learn the criminal name of the Qin Dynasty, and later served as a servant in the prime minister's mansion.
This sect is an inequality official position. Now he has become an imperial envoy and is also a military supervisor in Jiuyuan City, so he is naturally full of ambitions.
Liu Kan climbed to the watchtower, and Wang Li also saw Liu Kan.
He frowned slightly, and subconsciously clenched the guardrail in front of him. He didn't like Liu Kan because this guy liked to steal the limelight too much!
But he also admired Liu Kan very much. After Liu Kan, the cavalry tiger song that used infantry to fight against the militant cavalry, Wang Li has been paying attention to it.
When Liu Kan provoked the Battle of Fuping, Wang Li sent someone to find Meng Tian and asked Meng Tian to send troops to provide assistance.
But because of a general consideration, Meng Tian did not agree. Later, the Battle of Henan broke out, and Wang Li, who was originally the main force, became a bystander. This made Wang Li very angry and felt like he was deceived. But at that time, Meng Tian was in the limelight and he had no choice. He was full of anger and turned to Liu Kan... But after thinking about it, he felt that this matter had nothing to do with Liu Kan.
To put it bluntly, Liu Kan was just a match, just a pawn of Meng Tian.
At the same time, Wang Li carefully read the battle report of the Battle of Fuping at that time, and was very impressed by Liu Kan's endless strange plans.
If it weren't for a mistake, maybe I would have had two drinks with Liu Kan.
Wang Li gritted his teeth and was about to urge the car to come forward. Zhao Sheng, on the side, suddenly said, "General Wang, why haven't he ordered an attack?"
This stuff!
Wang Li couldn't laugh or cry.
You are not unaware of how powerful Meng Tian’s iron armored army is?
If you attack like this, how heavy the losses will be? Whether it is Meng Tian’s iron armored soldiers or the border troops in his hands, they are all the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty! As long as the imperial edict is read, the longer the time is, the more the iron armored soldiers in the mansion will be shaken. At that time, if the soldiers do not kill blood, why do you need to spend the lives of these good men? If you really don’t do anything about military affairs, you have to point fingers here.
"Zhao Jianjun, don't ask about this matter, you have your own opinions!"
As he spoke, Wang Li urged the car to go forward for more than ten steps and shouted sternly: "Is it Fuping Laozi on the watchtower?"
"Of course!"
"Mr. Beiguang Wu, why do you resist the imperial edict? Meng Tian and Fusu formed a clique for personal gain, and the evidence was conclusive. Your Majesty ordered to kill Fusu and arrest Meng Tian. I respect you as a good man. It must have been deceived by Meng Tian that he did such a confused thing.
If you know the current affairs, it is still time to regret it now.
I can guarantee you that as long as you open the door and surrender, offer Fusu's head, bind Meng Tian, you should remember your first merits. The past will not be investigated."
As he spoke, Wang Li waved his hand and followed him to raise the edict and move forward.
"This is your Majesty's edict. Don't you accept the order?"
"General, you and I know where the edict in your hand came from. You hurt the eldest son, robbed the jade seal, and sued the traitor who killed the king and father, which was the crime of the three tribes of the Yi family. Unfortunately, the famous generals of the Wang family, Wang Jian and Wang Ben, were so wise in their lifetime, but they were going to be destroyed in the hands of you, a man without a father or a king. Liu is not talented, and today he will kill you first to comfort His Majesty's spirit in heaven!"
Killing the lord and the father?
Whether inside or outside the government, when the Qin army heard the news, they couldn't help but feel riots.
Could it be that Your Majesty is dead?
Before Liu Kan finished speaking, he had already taken the Great Yellow Bow from Liu Xin. He used a red-stemmed white-feathered arrow, and the bow was as bright as the full moon. With a buzzing sound, the long arrow tore the air and shot straight towards Wang Li. Liu Kan's archery skills have been practiced hard since he got to know Guan Ying. After six years of time, although Liu Kan was not the sharpshooter who made Liu Kan pass through Yang hundreds of steps, his shooting skills have already entered the hall. Moreover, the Great Yellow Bow's twelve stone strong bow has extremely strong force.
After all, Wang Li is a man who has experienced a lot of battle formations. He only heard the sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air and knew that something was wrong.
Instinctively shrank his head in the car, and Li arrows flew past his helmet. Before he could stand up, a scream came from behind him.
When he turned his head and saw that Zhao Sheng was penetrated by a red-stemmed white feather arrow.
The arrow shaft as thick as a thumb, carrying a huge force, brought Zhao Sheng's body up and fell under the car with a loud bang.
"God of old Qin, let's go to the national crisis together!"
Tu Tu suddenly raised his arms and shouted. The iron armored soldiers of the Meng family behind the mansion were stunned first, and suddenly burst into a roar like a roar of mountains and seas: "Rank Old Qin, go to the national crisis together. You swear to kill the traitors and avenge Your Majesty...Rank Old Qin, go to the national crisis together!"
Behind the mansion, the iron armored soldiers were in high spirits.
And outside the palace, the Qin army also rioted continuously.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Wang Li immediately ordered to launch an attack on the General's Mansion.
"The Great Qin military talisman is here, and the three armies follow me to attack!"
Wang Li ordered people to pick up the tiger talisman to show his identity as the ruler of the Qin army. The Qin army has always ordered them to go out, but even though their minds were shaken, they rushed towards the General's Mansion without hesitation. For a moment, arrows were raining and shouting and killing sounds were everywhere, covering up the previous riots.
"Slaughter, stare here."
Liu Kan whispered: "Under Wang Li's current situation, it is difficult to make an effective attack... I'll go back and see what the eldest son is doing."
Tu Tu nodded, "The wind and waves have passed, what's the point? I just don't adapt to my brothers!"
Yes, a day ago, I was still the guise of fighting side by side.
But now, he has to fight against each other. I am afraid that it will be difficult for anyone to accept this kind of thing. Liu Kan understands Tu Tu's mood, so he can only sigh and pat his shoulder. Without saying a word, he took Liu Xin down the watchtower and headed towards the backyard.
While crossing the Moon Gate, Liu Kan met Meng Tian.
"What's the situation with the eldest son?"
Meng Tian said: "The injury is quite serious, but he has no worries about his life. The little princess has already gotten up and is taking care of the eldest son there... Junhou, I have bad news."
"The jade seal was taken away?"
Liu Kan smiled bitterly, "If this news is, I have guessed it. Otherwise, Wang Li would not dare to attack the General's Mansion with such a big fanfare."
"Wang Li..."
Meng Tian sighed and said with a gloomy expression: "I met Wang Li since childhood. He is very smart and learns faster than me. He has a family background. He should be the pillar of my Great Qin. However, he is too high in himself and his mind is too narrow-minded, so he can't help but fall into a bad position. Uncle Ben once said that Li's desire for fame and fortune is too strong, and it will never be great. Now, he is helping the evil, but I have never thought of it."
My childhood friend is now a revenge, and it must be a bad feeling.
However, Liu Kan was unwilling to consider Meng Tian’s feelings and said in a deep voice: “General, Wang Li is now holding the troops in Jiuyuan City. Although I have been shaken by my morale for the time being, there is no room for maneuver under the bloody battle. Where can I go, the General should make a decision early."
Where to go?
Meng Tian heard the meaning of Liu Kan's words.
Liu Kan is advising him to break through the siege as soon as possible. But in the current situation, can he break through the siege? Even if he breaks through the siege, what can he do?
To be continued...
