After Transmigrating, I Became the National Fortune of Great Qin

Chen Xuan woke up one day to suddenly find himself transformed into a black dragon, a black dragon coiled above a certain child's head...

Chapter 42: King Wei wants to fight for his life, and Lü Buwei's ambitions are rekindled

The strong wind is still raging, just like the Qin soldiers raging here.

Daliang, the capital of Wei, which had some popularity a few days ago, now seemed exceptionally dead.

King Anli of Wei sat in the palace, accompanied by Lord Longyang. In the huge palace, there were only the two of them, as most of the others had fled for their lives.

The fierce battle outside Daliang has been going on for a long time.

First, Wang He launched a surprise attack in one day and captured five cities in a row. Then, Lu Buwei led an army of 100,000 soldiers to attack.

But these things couldn't hit the beams, at least not at this time.

If King Huanhui of Han had not shown weakness and borrowed 50,000 troops from Meng Ao to attack Wei, and had stationed his troops in Xinzheng, the three armies of the Qin Dynasty would have attacked together and pushed directly to Daliang.

King Anli of Wei knew that he would probably not escape death today.

The 100,000 strongest soldiers of Wei were all led out by Xinling Jun. At this time, the attack of the Qin soldiers outside the city of Daliang was so fierce that it was far beyond the ability of the 70,000 soldiers left behind in Daliang to hold out.

No one was willing to come to the morning court today. It seemed more like they were discussing how to surrender with the head of King Anli of Wei rather than running for their lives.

"Since Your Majesty is so troubled, why not invite Mr. Kong to come and have a chat? Didn't Your Majesty enjoy talking with Mr. Kong the most?"

King Anli of Wei looked at Lord Longyang standing beside him, and for the first time, that pretty face made him feel a little nauseous.

When Lord Xinling was unwilling to return to defend the palace, it was Doctor Kong Bin who was shouting outside the palace. He didn't want to see him then, so why would he see him now?

"You go down now."

King Anli of Wei looked at Lord Longyang calmly. The royal majesty he had cultivated for so many years was still there.

"And pass on the king's order. Prepare a foot of white silk and three animals, and send them to the city gate. I will defend Daliang to the death today."

Lord Longyang looked at King Anli of Wei in horror. The reason he stayed with King Anli of Wei was simply because he could not die as long as King Anli of Wei was around.

If King Anli of Wei really wanted to defend Daliang to the death, he would surely die if the Qin army attacked.

"Didn't you hear?! Daliang hasn't been conquered yet, and I'm still the King of Wei! What? I can't order you around anymore?!"

King Anli of Wei no longer had the patience he had before towards Lord Longyang. The royal majesty he had cultivated over decades of reign came over him with the sound of his sword being drawn, almost suffocating Lord Longyang.

"promise!"

Long Yangjun responded quickly and ran out crawling.

The hall became quiet, without any other sounds.

King Anli of Wei was still holding his sword, glaring at the front, as if Lord Longyang was still sitting there.

After a long time, King Wei Anli slowly put down the sword in his hand and sat down on the ground.

Why didn't he want to surrender to save his life? But as long as Lord Xinling was attacking Qin, he couldn't surrender, and even if he surrendered, he would not survive.

The reason he died was not because the Qin soldiers killed him, but because of the wandering knights and their followers.

If he guessed correctly, there were probably no less than five retainers of Xinling Jun in the palace, and these five were not too far away from him.

King Anli of Wei was so confident simply because of his understanding of Lord Xinling.

He would never do anything without confidence. Once he did something, he would definitely deal with all the factors that might prevent him from failing.

In the eyes of King Anli of Wei, attacking Qin was an uncertain matter.

At that time, the troops were sent out only to defend Zhao State and earn 50,000 taels of gold. How could there be any intention of attacking Qin?

Now that Xinling Jun dared to disobey his orders and attack Qin regardless of the greater good, and to unite several countries to attack Qin together, it meant that all factors that hindered him had been arranged.

And he, King Anli of Wei, would naturally be arranged properly, at least he would not be allowed to affect the current mission of attacking Qin.

And how can it not be affected?

How could there be such a thing in this world as the dead that is the most obedient?

Perhaps Xinling Jun would not kill him for the sake of brotherhood, but this was on the premise that he did not surrender and was not captured alive.

Now he is almost captured alive. If he doesn't take any action, he may be gone at any time.

Rather than dying in such a cowardly way, it is better to die on your own. Maybe you can still find a chance to survive.

King Anli of Wei suddenly laughed, carefully stroking the sword beside him, and laughed:

"I'm wondering, is it more heroic to commit suicide by slashing one's own throat, or to hang oneself on the drum on the city wall and die for one's country by hanging a white silk scarf? Hahahaha..."

The laughter echoed in the empty palace, seeming particularly creepy.

Outside the city of Daliang, in the Qin army tent, Meng Ao, Wang He, and Lu Buwei sat around a feng shui map. Wang He sat facing east, Meng Ao sat facing south, and Lu Buwei sat facing north.

The hierarchy among the three people can be seen at a glance.

The feng shui map shows the current Wei capital Daliang.

Logically speaking, considering the current defense of Daliang and the strength of the Qin soldiers, they didn't need to think much. As long as they attacked head-on and launched a fierce attack for three days, Daliang would surely be captured.

However, according to the news from Wang Jian, the coalition forces are about to arrive at Hangu Pass. If they don't put pressure on Zhao State, Xianyang may be lost.

What they needed to do now was to capture Daliang in one day, then directly attack Zhao State, sweep all the way into Handan City, and force Lian Po to return to defend before the coalition forces broke through Hangu Pass.

How could it be possible to capture Daliang in just one day? After all, it was the capital of a country, and it couldn't be as simple as Wang He's conquest of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

"Report—there seems to be some movement on Daliang City. General Huan has sent me to report it!"

Just when they were all having a headache, there seemed to be new changes in Huantai.
