(Why can't I reply after replying to two reviews?) Which god knew what was going on?)
Wu Xiang stared at Zhao Mu with a fierce look in his eyes that burned like flames. Blood flowed down his body, but he did not show any pain. Instead, he looked more like a demon god.
"Minister, let's go!"
The guards of Yuyuan Clan came over to stop him, leaving some people behind to protect him as he ran up the mountain. The sneak attack had failed, and the most important thing now was not to be surrounded by the Qin army.
"You want to leave? It's not that easy."
" Let's go!" Zhao Mu said calmly. He thrust out the Tianwen sword again. With a whoosh, the sky and earth shattered like glass, and a strange sound was heard. Under the frightened eyes of the guards of Yuyuan, endless sword Qi swept towards them like wind and rain!
Kacha!
The grass and trees were shattered, and all the guards of Yu Yuan who were covering the rear were killed. Wu Xiang slashed out again with his heavily injured body, blocking a part of the sword Qi, allowing more than ten guards of Yu Yuan to survive. After that slash, Wu Xiang was completely unable to fight back.
The guards hurriedly brought him into the depths of the forest.
"Your blade technique is not bad. I hope your elders won't disappoint me.”Zhao Mu muttered.
Wang Ben and Meng Wu both understood the principle of not pursuing a desperate enemy. They gathered their soldiers and arranged their defenses before going down to rest. Zhao Mu also returned to his tent.
Repulsing the attack of the Yuyuan Clan did not count as completing the mission given to him by the system. The most important task was to obtain the secret treasure of the Mount Shu Clan. Before this goal was achieved, the mission would not be considered complete.
A week later, the construction of the plank road was completed. Zhao Mu and Meng Wu led the army to Shu, while Wang Ben led two thousand Dragon-Tiger Cavalry to Chencang, looking for a way to enter Shu.
On the way, it seemed that the night attack a week ago did not succeed as expected. Instead, many of Yu Yuan's guards were killed. Therefore, the army was not disturbed.
However, the Shu Road was extremely dangerous, and nearly a hundred Qin soldiers had fallen along the way.
At Gumeng Pass, Sima Ying, along with his guards and the county governors and officers of Shu, were anxiously waiting for Zhao Mu's arrival. As Marquis Wuxin, the most trusted official of King Zhuang Xiang, Zhao Mu's status was almost equivalent to that of King Zhuang Xiang in the eyes of Sima Ying and the others.
More importantly, this person's battle record was also famous. The allied army of the vassals was defeated by him. According to the news, the people of the Yuyuan clan were also defeated by Zhao Mu when they tried to attack the camp not long ago. Even the minister of the Yuyuan clan was seriously injured and was still bedridden.
Under their anxious gazes, Great Qin's Black Dragon Flag finally appeared in their line of sight, and a long line of soldiers slowly approached. Even Sima Ying, who was used to seeing strong armies, could not help but sigh at the Dragon Tiger Cavalry's aura. This was a truly elite force.
When the team arrived in front of them, they immediately spread out in an orderly manner. The orderly team slowly spread out. Zhao Mu took the lead, and Meng Wu followed closely behind him as they slowly walked out.
"Sima Ying greets Great General." Sima Ying bowed slightly and cupped his fists.
Zhao Mu dismounted and helped Sima Ying up."General Sima is too polite. Even though I'm in Xianyang, I've heard of General Sima. From General Sima Cuo to General Sima Cuo, three generations of people have made great contributions to the stability of Shu.
Therefore, after the war is settled, the general will go to Xianyang to enjoy his life. Also, the general's nephew, Sima Chang, has always wanted to meet you.”
Sima Ying revealed a smile of embarrassment. Zhao Mu's words seemed to be praising him on the surface, but in reality, he understood very well what he meant. The Sima Clan had stayed in Shu for a long time, and it was time to leave.
This was not because they did not understand the way of being subjects, or because the King of Qin did not understand the principle of checks and balance. It was just that Sima Cuo had destroyed Shu in one battle and then put down the chaos in Shu. Only the prestige of the Sima family could maintain the stability of Shu. If it was someone else, it would be somewhat difficult.
But now, King Zhuang Xiang trusted Zhao Mu enough and felt that Zhao Mu could solve the problem of Shu once and for all. Sima Ying naturally could not stay in Shu anymore.
Although he was a little disappointed, Sima Ying did not harbor any resentment. Actually, when his father died, he had already started to worry about the future of the Sima Clan. After all, if they did not rebel, then their prestige in Shu would become a time bomb.
When Sima Ying's younger brother, Sima Cuo's second grandson Sima Jin, and Bai Qi were both killed, Sima Ying's sense of danger had reached its peak.
Therefore, this time around, the Shu rebellion was also partly because of him adding fuel to the fire. Otherwise, with the Sima Clan's prestige, how could they allow Shu to rise up again after several decades of peace?
Sima Ying was only a little worried that the cunning rabbit would die and the lackey would be cooked.
This was something that neither Prince Zhuang Xiang nor Lu Buwei could see, but Zhao Mu could. This was also why he was not in a hurry on the way. As long as Sima Ying used his full strength, it would be very easy to pacify the Shu Rebellion.
Sima Ying held a banquet to invite Zhao Mu and Meng Wu. During the banquet, Sima Ying said with some doubt,""Great General, I heard that the son of Marquis Wucheng also came with us. Why don't we see him?”
Zhao Mu smiled and said," It's fine. He entered Shu from another route. I think he should be here soon. I wonder how strong the rebel army is now?"”
"Great General, don't worry. The rebel army is already trapped in Jiang Prefecture. As long as Great General gives the order, it will be very easy to eliminate the rebel army.”Sima Ying said.
Meng Wu was dumbfounded. Since it was such an easy task, why did he ask Xianyang for help?
"It's just that…" Sima Ying hesitated.
Zhao Mu waved his hand to stop him and said,""This time, we came here to deal with the chaos. The main reason is to deal with the Yu Yuan Clan of Mount Shu. Otherwise, the rebellion in Shu will never be resolved. As for what General Sima is worried about, you can rest assured. In Your Majesty's eyes, the Sima Clan has done so much for Great Qin and is worthy of being rewarded.”
