Chapter 496 It should work this time
Inside the main tent, everything became quiet after Cheng Jiao came in.

General Wang Jian was not there. He was in the Wei territory at the time, in charge of the captured cities.

His son Wang Ben and his grandson Wang Li were in the tent, obeying his orders.

Although Wang Ben made many contributions by following the battle, he did not achieve any significant achievements due to Cheng Jiao's dominance.

Seeing Cheng Jiao coming in, he immediately said, "Marquis Chang'an, Daliang City has twelve gates, the city wall is five feet high, there are three hundred thousand people inside, the moat connects the city on all sides, it is wide and deep, the city is strong and the moat is deep. If we force an attack, I'm afraid there will be countless casualties."

Wang Li looked at Cheng Jiao sitting in the main seat with extremely complicated feelings.

In the past, I was jealous of this kind of person. Now that I am two years older, I can't help but feel depressed. I was so brave back then that I dared to take action against such an invincible strong man. It was also the time and the fate.

After listening to this, Cheng Jiao smiled faintly and said, "General Wang, do you have any good ideas?"

Wang Ben said in a deep voice: "I observed the terrain around Daliang City a few days ago and came up with a plan. As long as our army digs the river outside Daliang City overnight and floods Daliang, within three months, the strong city that Daliang City is so proud of will collapse, and our army will win without fighting."

Cheng Jiao shook his head slightly: "It will take too long. No."

Wang Ben was stunned, his eyes showing confusion, and the generals in the tent also looked puzzled. Wang Ben's strategy, taking into account the time and place, could greatly reduce casualties. Does it mean that the Marquis of Chang'an has become arrogant after successively destroying the states of Han and Zhao?

Cheng Jiao said slowly, "The Chu army is gathering at the border and will support Wei at any time. It is better to attack Daliang City sooner rather than later. Once Chu and Wei unite, it will be disadvantageous to us. Moreover, Yancheng is detrimental to the harmony of heaven. This marquis has decided to take action personally and open the gate of Daliang City."

His strength has now reached the limit of heaven and man, and he can break through to the Golden Core Stage at any time.

Because of this, when he was fighting against the State of Zhao, he killed hundreds of soldiers and noticed something different.

There is a vague karma on my body, which constantly affects the growth of my cultivation and makes my state of mind disordered from time to time.

Then it was offset by the power of luck in his body and returned to normal.

He guessed that in order to break through the Jindan stage, he might have to go through a tribulation.

This disaster may be related to karma and inner demons.

Therefore, unless it is a critical moment, he would not take a shot if possible to avoid affecting the breakthrough.

All the generals in the tent looked at each other.

A month ago, they also heard about how Cheng Jiao killed his way through Handan City with just a sword.

However, it was just hearsay after all, and the soldiers always exaggerated the facts. Also, Cheng Jiao did not take any action during the attack on Wei, so they still had doubts about Cheng Jiao's true strength.

But it is undeniable that Marquis Chang'an is indeed the best master in the world today.

No one questioned it, because this was a fact personally acknowledged by Taoist Bei Mingzi, Confucian Xunzi, and Guiguzi's predecessor Gongsun Yan.

……

The next day.

Daliang City, outside the main city gate.

In front of the 100,000 Qin troops, Cheng Jiao stood in the air.

Looking at the top of the city gate, Dian Qing was standing with his head held high, holding two axes in his hands.

"Dian Qing, long time no see!"

Cheng Jiao shouted softly, like thunder from the sky, rolling in and shaking the hearts of everyone in Daliang City.

Dian Qing was silent for a moment, then said in a muffled voice, "Marquis Chang'an, is my junior sister okay?"

Cheng Jiao smiled faintly: "She is very good, serving as one of the guard leaders in this mansion."

Dian Qing's expression relaxed slightly.

"Marquis Chang'an, Chu has already sent out troops, and they will reach Daliang in less than three days. If you retreat and return the land to Wei, we will not pursue the matter."

On the city gate, a well-dressed official beside Dian Qing shouted at the top of his voice.

After hearing this, Dian Qing frowned slightly but said nothing.

Although the State of Chu sent troops, in this world, who knows whether the State of Chu wanted to take the opportunity to divide the State of Wei with the State of Qin.

The King of Wei had just ascended the throne and did not want to be a king who lost his country. He wanted Cheng Jiao to retreat on his own initiative, but he certainly did not want to take the risk of using the strategy of driving a tiger to devour a wolf.

Cheng Jiao seemed not to have heard and continued to say to Dian Qing: "Dian Qing, if you surrender, I will ensure that you have a place in the Qin army, even if you establish the Wei Wuzu."

He looked at the only remaining armored Wei Wu soldiers on the city wall, their aura as one.

If there is such an army, with a number of over ten thousand people, coordinated military formations, and fearless of death, even he would have to be careful.

Unfortunately, the entire Wei Wuzu army now only has a few hundred people and is completely useless to the overall situation.

Dian Qing shouted: "Without the Wei State's Wei Wuzu, it is not the Wei Wuzu!"

Cheng Jiaolang said with a smile: "How about changing the name to Qin Wuzu?"

Dian Qing was speechless for a while. If he was not blind, he would have glared at Cheng Jiao. He had never seen such a shameless person.

"No point in talking any more, get ready!"

Dian Qing immediately gave the order.

He knew a little about Cheng Jiao's strength. The tall city walls were almost useless to such a master.

Fortunately, there are many mechanical crossbows in the city, as well as powerful crossbows customized in South Korea before the demise of South Korea, and some fire bombs.

He put all of these together to deal with Cheng Jiao specifically.

All that's left is to leave it to fate and hope that they can hold on for a few more days.

Cheng Jiao just smiled and didn't care.

He slowly pulled out the Shui Han Sword, and the temperature within a hundred meters suddenly dropped, as if in an instant, time had gone back and summer had turned into winter.

"One sword, a dragon flies out!"

Cheng Jiao shouted softly and used the killing move in the sword-wielding technique.

The Shui Han sword in his hand flew out and grew larger, becoming a giant sword more than ten feet long, shaped like an ice dragon, and it slammed into the five-foot-tall and two-foot-thick city gate made of huge stones.

The 100,000 Qin soldiers held their breath and looked at Cheng Jiao in the air as if they were looking at an immortal.

As for the Wei army defending the city, they immediately lost their fighting spirit.

Anyone who saw an ice dragon more than ten meters long charging towards them would be scared to death.

The ice dragon slammed into the city gate with a loud bang, causing temporary deafness to everyone within a ten-mile radius.

Some of the defenders on the city gate lost their balance and fell off the wall, while more had blood flowing from their eyes and ears and were seriously injured.

Dian Qing steadied his shaking body. He didn't see the ice dragon, but he could feel the breath of death.

Judging from this, Cheng Jiao's strength is far more terrifying than he had imagined.

He grabbed the deputy general who was about to fall down with one hand, "Has the city gate been broken?"

The deputy general's legs trembled. He looked down and said helplessly, "Not yet... but..."

"Say!"

The deputy general became even more frightened when he saw Dian Qing's arrogant face.

"The gates are cracked."

The deputy general said with a sad face.

He knew very well what this meant. If Cheng Jiao attacked again, the city gate would collapse directly.

The city of Daliang, which is said to be able to withstand a million-strong army, will be trampled by the Qin army.

Cheng Jiao waved his hand and the Shui Han sword returned to his hand.

Looking at the crumbling gate of Daliang City, he thought to himself that it was worthy of being known as the best city gate in the world. It was able to block his full-strength attack. The numerous mechanisms on it must have played a significant role.

"Dian Qing, if you surrender, I can guarantee that I will not harm the people of Wei!"

Dian Qing struggled and asked, "What if I don't surrender?"

Cheng Jiao smiled slightly and said, "Similarly, I will not harm the people of Wei State."

Dian Qing was startled and sighed, "Marquis Chang'an, you are a good man, but I am a citizen of Wei. I eat the salary of the emperor, so I should share the worries of the emperor."

Cheng Jiao thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want to be loyal to the King of Wei?"

"That's right!" Dian Qing clenched his fists. He knew that after saying this, there was no way back. Cheng Jiao laughed and said, "Well, I'll go ask the King of Wei if he can hand you over to me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Jiao disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he had already arrived at the Wei Palace. Holding the Wei King, who had not yet reacted to what was happening, in one hand, he arrived in front of Dian Qing on the city gate in a breath.

The little god can shrink the ground into an inch, and the more he uses it, the more handy he becomes.

Cheng Jiao ignored the guardsmen who were watching him closely and threw the King of Wei to the ground, saying, "Dian Qing, this is the King of Wei. Do you want him to die or live?"

The King of Wei was a little confused and jumped up from the ground.

Pointing at Cheng Jiao, he trembled and could not speak, "You... who are you and why did you arrest me!"

Cheng Jiao was surprised and asked, "You don't know me?"

After the King of Wei focused his eyes, he asked in shock: "Cheng Jiao!?"

This name was almost becoming his nightmare.

Cheng Jiao nodded and said, "Yes, you have a good memory. King Wei, I want Dian Qing to work for me. What do you think?"

The King of Wei looked at the three-inch ice needles densely packed all over his body and swallowed.

Dian Qing wanted to save him, but was afraid that Cheng Jiao would kill him. The atmosphere above the city gate suddenly became tense.

Cheng Jiao waved his hand and the sky exploded.

The Qin army, having received the signal, shouted and marched towards Daliang City.

The King of Wei, who was facing an army of 100,000, was even more frightened.

"Do not kill me!"

The King of Wei roared with difficulty.

The two axes in Dian Qing's hands suddenly fell. He knew that after King Wei's shout, Daliang City was completely doomed.

Seeing this, Cheng Jiao retracted the sharp ice needles that were scattered around.

"Congratulations, you survived."

After finishing speaking, his tone changed: "How is Empress Dowager Le Ling?"

The Wei Wu soldiers around, the King of Wei, and even Dian Qing all shuddered.

Rumor has it that Cheng Jiao loves queen mothers from various countries... But Queen Mother Le Ling is already in her seventies...

Cheng Jiao felt that something was a little strange around him.

"Hurry up and tell me. Princess Honglian asked me to ask something."

King Wei breathed a sigh of relief, "It's Honglian... Mother is in good health, but she has been a little restless recently..."

As he said this, he secretly glanced at Cheng Jiao. If Cheng Jiao had not come to Wei to kill him, his mother would still be eating well and sleeping soundly.

Cheng Jiao said "Oh", "Okay, let's get ready and accept the seal."

The King of Wei's face turned bitter. He never expected that he would really become the king who lost his country.

"it is good."

After Cheng Jiao's shocking attack, King Wei announced his surrender.

Soon, Cheng Jiao took over the city of Daliang.

Considering that Queen Mother Le Ling was Honglian's grandmother and one of the few relatives she had in this world besides King Han, and that she was old, Cheng Jiao directly let her stay in Daliang and had all the other clansmen of the Wei royal family move to Xianyang to enrich the Six Kingdoms Palace again.

The next day, Cheng Jiao received news from Wang Jian.

The Chu army has already mobilized and is about to cross the border to Daliang.

Cheng Jiao put down the battle report. The person who led the Chu troops to Daliang this time was none other than Xiang Yu's grandfather Xiang Yan.

He was able to organize an army of 100,000 so quickly, and emulated Lord Xinling, heading directly to the State of Wei, hoping to cooperate internally and externally to annihilate his army of 100,000 and interrupt the process of Qin's unification.

Although Xiang Yan's military talent cannot be ranked in history compared with those evildoers, he still has basic vision.

Thinking of Li Huan’s current predicament, Cheng Jiao looked leisurely.

Since he was already here, he might as well take down Xiang Yan.

After completely conquering the State of Wei, he would send troops to attack the State of Chu.

After conquering the State of Chu, no matter how powerful the States of Qi and Yan were, they would not be able to cause any trouble.

"General Wang Ben, in three days, the Chu army led by Xiang Yan will arrive in Daliang."

Wang Ben laughed and said, "As long as Daliang City is there, the old villain Bao Xiangyan will never come back."

Cheng Jiao shook his head and said, "What I mean is, don't wait here. Xiang Yan is a cautious person, and I'm afraid there will be scouts delivering news all the time. It won't be long before we know that Daliang City has been captured. Speed ​​is of the essence in war, so I'm going to take the initiative. Tomorrow, you will bring 50,000 soldiers with me to capture these 100,000 Chu soldiers."

Wang Ben had no doubt that Cheng Jiao had this ability. He was sure that Cheng Jiao alone was worth an army of 100,000 and could capture the general in the midst of thousands of troops!

"Order!"

Wang Ben retreated immediately, preparing to arrange a general to replace him in guarding Daliang City before dispatching troops out of the city.

Cheng Jiao continued to issue orders in the Wei Palace, asking Dian Qing to personally supervise and ensure that no soldier would rob the people's property.

He asked the King of Wei to lead the way and personally raided the homes of the great nobles in Daliang City and confiscated their property. He then directly sentenced them based on the intelligence collected by Luowang and the evidence from the people in Daliang City.

After Yitong finished his busy work, Cheng Jiao lay on the big bed in the Wei Palace, holding the Great God of Life on his left and the Moon Goddess on his right.

With his current strength, this little bit of work won't tire him out at all.

By night, I was full of energy.

Take the time to attack the Moon God and the Great God of Destiny.

The Great God of Destiny was reluctant to accept, but the Moon Goddess didn't even pretend and tried her best to cater to Cheng Jiao.

Cheng Jiao did not relax his requirements on Yue Shen. After all, Yue Shen had just sworn in front of him not long ago that she must give him a child before returning to Xianyang.

Of course he would not refuse this.

He was determined to get the Moon Goddess pregnant.

If it doesn’t work once, try it twice. If it doesn’t work twice, try it three times.

He just didn't believe that, even if the Moon Goddess's strength was inferior to his, there would be one person who failed after eighty or one hundred times.

This made things difficult for Da Siming, as he was used by the Moon Goddess as a machine to withdraw money from Cheng Jiao.

When you are about to withdraw your deposit, just kick Da Siming away and keep it all by yourself.

After a night of eating, the Moon Goddess' mouth was full of oil, but the Great God of Destiny didn't taste a single hair.

Even with the coldness of the Great God of Destiny, there was a look of resentment on her pretty face.

As the eldest sister, you should at least give some soup to your younger sisters, right?

At this moment, Da Siming felt a surge of resentment for no reason, and was ready to find Cheng Jiao for private lessons to see if she could win a prize and piss off her dear Moon Goddess to death!

She felt that compared to Lady Moon Goddess, her luck seemed to be a little better.

She thinks she can do it!

As dawn approached, the Moon Goddess and the Great God of Life were half lying in the bathtub.

Cleanse the body that has been contaminated by insects.

The Moon Goddess touched her bulging belly again.

Tonight, with the cooperation of Dasi Ming, she took it from Cheng Jiao three times.

Some couldn't help but say to the Great Siming: "Great Siming, should it be okay this time?"

Da Siming thought of the last time Lady Moon Goddess asked her the same question in the bathtub.

Then he said faintly: "Lord Moon God, it should be possible, after all, you ate so much."

The Moon Goddess thought so too. There were already so many of them that she was almost suffocated to death. If there was no more, she would go crazy!
Senior sister's luck is so good! ?
