Chapter 186 Great Merit

The setting sun shines brightly like blood.

The war has not yet ended, but the outcome has already been determined.

Wearing a suit of armor, Lao Ai led all his soldiers and horses, captured Nie Yi, beheaded General Cheng Sheng, and gained access to the south.

The war was almost one-sided. Without enough ordnance and supplies to support it, Cheng Xi's army could not sustain it for long.

Standing on the battlefield, Lao Ai looked like a wild beast, with killing and blood stimulating every inch of his senses. He held the sword in his hand and felt the taste of victory.

However, this short-lived victory was like a poppy, making Lao Ai somewhat addicted, but she could only savor it for a short time. Because he knows that power and wealth are still ahead.

"Notify brothers, don't be attached to the spoils of war, there are greater achievements waiting for us ahead."

"promise!"

Lao Ai was full of ambitions, but the arrival of the Snare Assassin frightened him.

"Master Zhiri, General Bi is dead."

"what happened?"

"Not only General Bi, but also Luo Wang's informants in Tunliu have lost their traces. Something unusual seems to have happened to Cheng Yu's army as well."

"Where is Li Wu? Is there any news from her side?"

"She is missing and her whereabouts are unknown."

The joy brought by the victory just dissipated, Lao Ai frowned, and suddenly lost confidence in her heart.

"Sir, should we stop our pace?"

"No, we can't stop. We must move forward immediately. The first success in quelling the Chengyu Rebellion must be mine."

Lao Ai said in his heart that only with this credit can he continue to climb up in Qin.

"Let Jie lead the army and go south to camp. Luo Sheng and I will take the lead."

"promise!"

In the camp, the envoy from Zhao State came to Tunliu, but it was seen that Cheng Yu had gathered his troops into the city, instead of going on the offensive like not long ago.

The defeat was already underway, and when the envoy from Zhao came, it could be seen that many soldiers and civilians were fleeing. Even many of the retainers and subordinates who were originally attached to Cheng Xiu were squeezing their gold and silver and running away privately.

"Isn't King Zhao willing to send reinforcements?"

"Your Highness, King Han's army has stopped advancing. The Qin army near Tunliu has also launched a campaign to encircle and suppress Your Highness's army. Wang Jian's army has also left Hangu. At this time, if our army comes, it will We are in a very unfavorable situation. I hope His Highness will be considerate."

Cheng Yu smiled bitterly, Tunliu's material capital was where his confidence lay. If he holds a large amount of ordnance and food in his hands, he will have the strength to wait until the Zhao army and the Han army arrive.

However, a sudden change changed everything. The supplies, grain, grass, swords, crossbows and weapons were all defective, and the grain materials were all moldy and smelly.

If such a big mistake occurs, all officials from top to bottom will have only one fate. But now, these have become the sharpest sword, stabbing Cheng Xi, cutting off his biggest escape route.

"Isn't King Zhao willing to take risks?"

In fact, this is no longer a risk. If Cheng Yu can take advantage, then it will be profitable for Zhao Jun to enter Tunliu. But now, they are completely blocking this huge hole with the lives of Zhao Jun soldiers.

"Your Highness, my king is willing to grant the land of Rao to Your Highness. You cannot stay in the camp for a long time. I would like Your Highness to lead the army into Zhao."

Qin and Zhao fought with each other until death. Chenglong is of great significance to the State of Zhao.

Cheng Yu had a large number of loyal subjects who were familiar with the domestic situation in Qin. Moreover, Cheng Yu had a deep connection with the Qin court.

Even if the Qin State purges Chang'an Lord's influence later, it will be difficult to completely eliminate his influence.

His identity itself is a sharp sword. In the hands of Zhao Guo, there will be no harm at all.

"Enter Zhao?"

However, Cheng Yu himself was very hesitant.

"Your Highness, the situation is urgent. I heard before I came that the Qin army in Taiyuan has captured Nirvana. I don't have much time to wait."

"Your Highness has to leave now, it's already a little too late."

Silent coercion overflowed in the room. He was dressed in the armor of a black armored soldier and held a long sword that concealed the sun in his hand.

"Who are you? You dare to break into His Highness's stronghold without permission."

The long sword was swung, and the Zhao envoy lost his life in an instant. Cheng Xi stood up, and a large number of guards poured into the camp.

"The net will cover the sun!"

Zhan Ri raised his sword and pointed it at Cheng Xi.

"All the informants that Luo Sheng left in the village have been destroyed, but this passage leading directly to His Highness is still preserved. Your Highness, can you tell me what is going on?"

None of the spies around Cheng Yu moved, except for their leader, Li Wu.

This is like a trap, but Lao Ai, who is eager to achieve success, can no longer control so much. Even if it was a trap, he had to walk through it.

"kill!"

Cheng Xi ignored the sun's words and issued the order.

Just to see who could win, Zhanri held the long sword in his hand, took a deep breath, and then fell into a fierce fight.

"The unparalleled achievements are made today, within a few feet."

Huayang Palace.

The sound of hurried footsteps clicked on the wooden floor. Lord Changping was very panicked and ran to the side of the Queen Mother Huayang.

"Chenglong is dead!"

There is a panic and fear in Mr. Changping that is not what his identity should show. Once Cheng Long dies, he, Lord Changping, may not be able to get rid of the relationship.

"Why panic!"

Empress Dowager Huayang scolded lightly, and her voice was like a reassuring stone, calming Lord Changping down.

"Even if Cheng Xi is dead, you are still the cousin of the current King of Qin and the Changping Lord of Great Qin."

Lord Changping took a deep breath to calm down, but he heard Queen Mother Huayang ask.

"How did Cheng Yu die?"

"When Cheng Xiu was raising his troops, all his generals were nearby Tunliu. For some reason, Cheng Xiu led his troops to retreat from the camp into Tunliu. Hou Lao Ai led the Taiyuan army southward, but his troops had not yet When we arrived at Tunliu, news of Cheng Xi's death came."

Queen Mother Huayang was pacing in the palace, listening to Lord Changping describing the detailed information he had obtained about Tunliu, when she suddenly stopped.

"What a trick!"

There was anger on Queen Mother Huayang's face.

"Step by step, Cheng Yu was forced into a desperate situation. This final blow, the disaster that caused the sky, was left to Lao Ai to do. This is because he didn't want any blood on his hands."

"The Queen Mother, what should I do?"

Queen Mother Huayang sneered and looked at the frightened Lord Changping.

"Lu Buwei thought that by eliminating Cheng Xi, he would eliminate the biggest threat. But he forgot that once Cheng Xi died, his value to the king also decreased rapidly. Today's death of Cheng Xi will be the third person on Lu Buwei's tomb in the future. A handful of dirt."

Queen Mother Huayang took a few steps forward, calmed down, and spoke in a harsh tone that Lord Changping had never heard before.

"Even if the Qin Kingdom conquers the world, the future emperor must have half of the blood of our Chu Kingdom."
