Chapter 272

But... how could they just watch Wang Ben open the gates?

In the end, Meng Tian ran over to persuade him: "General Wang Ben, although Li Li Yuanba is a close associate of the Emperor, he has no official position, and we don't know his business. Opening the gates of Yan Sect Pass just because his name is Li Li Yuanba is against the rules!"

"What if he has defected to the Xiongnu?"

"What if he has been deceived by villains?"

"Anything is possible!"

"Why don't we ask clearly first!"

Meng Tian said, while frantically winking at Meng Wu!

Meng Wu suddenly realized and said to Wang Ben:

"Yes, General Wang Ben, Yan Sect Pass is of great importance; it is the gateway of our Qin. If the gates are opened and something goes wrong, who can take responsibility? Why don't we... ask clearly first!"

"It won't be too late to decide whether to open the gates after we ask clearly!"

At this moment, both of them were speaking. Wang Ben naturally knew they were talking nonsense, but he didn't want to cause more trouble, so he went to the wall and shouted to Li Li Yuanba below:

"General Li Li Yuanba, I am Wang Ben, Marquis of Tongwu. May I ask, General Li Li Yuanba, what is your business coming to Yan Sect Pass?"

Li Li Yuanba said: "I am returning to Xianyang and passing through here!"

Wang Ben looked at Meng Wu: "Did you hear that? Passing through!"

Meng Wu said: "Yan Sect Pass is a vital military location; the gates cannot be opened easily. Please, General Li Li Yuanba, take a detour!"

Wang Ben roared: "The only road to Xianyang is through Yan Sect Pass. How can he take a detour?"

Meng Wu said: "That is not my concern. I only know that without a proper reason, the gates cannot be opened easily!"

"You..."

Wang Ben was furious, then bowed to Li Li Yuanba: "General Li Li Yuanba, may I ask if you have the Emperor's decree?"

Li Li Yuanba said: "I do! I am acting on the Emperor's decree to return to Xianyang and deliver a message!"

Wang Ben glared at Meng Wu: "General Meng Wu, what now? He is delivering a message by imperial decree; do you dare to stop him?"

Meng Wu said: "Empty words are not proof. Let me see the decree!"

Wang Ben roared: "You are presumptuous! Is the Emperor's decree something you can just look at?"

Meng Wu roared: "Empty words are not proof. If you open the gates without authorization and something goes wrong, who will take responsibility?"

"Can you, Wang Ben, take responsibility?"

"You... Meng Wu!"

Wang Ben gritted his teeth, and at this moment, was about to draw his sword!

But at this moment, Li Li Yuanba below smiled at Wang Ben on the wall:

"General Wang Ben, don't be troubled. Before I left, the Emperor told me that if General Wang Ben could open the gates, let him open them. If he was incompetent and couldn't open them, I should smash the gates of Yan Sect Pass myself. Anyway, the Xiongnu are about to be destroyed, and the gates of Yan Sect Pass will be useless!"

"I only used three hammer blows to break the gates of Xianyanggong; I wonder how many blows the gates of Yan Sect Pass can take!"

He laughed and drove his horse toward the gates!

This scene scared Meng Wu, while Wang Ben's face turned red, and he bowed deeply to Li Li Yuanba: "Wang Ben is incompetent and has disappointed the Emperor!"

"General, do not worry! If I, Wang Ben, cannot open the gates today to welcome you, I will commit suicide before the Emperor to apologize!"

After he finished speaking, he drew his sword and shouted to the soldiers below: "In the name of the Emperor, in the name of my father Wang Wang Jian, and in the name of the Marquis of Tongwu personally enfeoffed by the First Emperor, I order you to open the gates immediately. The entire army will welcome General Li Li Yuanba. Those who disobey this order will be treated as rebels and executed without mercy!"

He shouted loudly.

At this moment, Meng Wu dared not speak, and Meng Tian dared not speak!

Even Fu Su sighed softly!

There was no help for it; the names Wang Ben invoked were too great.

The new Emperor Ying Su, his father Wang Wang Jian, himself, and the First Emperor!

He had invoked all of them!

At this time, who dared to stop him?

So, even if they were unwilling, Fu Su, Meng Wu, and Meng Tian dared not stop him and could only watch as Wang Ben's trusted soldiers opened the gates!

And then, they watched helplessly as Li Li Yuanba entered the city!

But... even as Li Li Yuanba entered the city, everyone was terrified!

Especially Fu Su, who looked at Li Li Yuanba with extreme fear!

He swallowed hard in a panic!

At this moment, the battle of Taiyuan from the past involuntarily flashed through his mind!

Li Li Yuanba, he had charged into the camp of three hundred thousand troops alone!

The Ten Thousand Li Smoke Cloud Cover beneath him galloped through the Xiongnu army like lightning, like a violent storm!

And after a few charges, the Xiongnu army was torn apart!

In just two or three hours, the three hundred thousand troops were slaughtered and left in disarray!

This scene was deeply etched in Fu Su's mind, and every time he thought of it, he felt boundless shock!

But what truly left a deep impression on him was the scene of Li Li Yuanba slaughtering Xiongnu civilians!

A Xiongnu woman, still carrying a child, but with one hammer blow from Li Li Yuanba, they were smashed into meat paste!

And the Xiongnu elders, they were just herding cattle and sheep, coming here, but... they were smashed into meat paste by Li Li Yuanba!

This scene, seen by Fu Su, filled him with both anger and hatred!

It was also from this moment that he began to hate Li Li Yuanba!

Now, watching Li Li Yuanba enter the city, he was truly full of hatred, anger, and fear!

He was afraid that if they disagreed, he would start a massacre!

He was terrified!

Meng Wu and Meng Tian were equally panicked!

Only Wang Ben walked toward Li Li Yuanba and bowed: "Your subject, Wang Ben, welcomes the Imperial Envoy! Welcomes General Li Li Yuanba!"

146. Zhuge Liang: Please, Retired Emperor, do not attempt to lay hands on the imperial throne!

"Welcomes the Imperial Envoy! Welcomes General Li Li Yuanba!"

Ying Su said with disdain:

And following his shout, more soldiers also shouted to the heavens!

"Welcomes the Imperial Envoy! Welcomes General Li Li Yuanba!"

"Welcomes the Imperial Envoy! Welcomes General Li Li Yuanba!"

"Welcomes the Imperial Envoy! Welcomes General Li Li Yuanba!"

At that moment, even Meng Wu and Meng Tian had to shout along!

Just kidding! Who was this!

This was Li Li Yuanba!

His highest record was slaughtering six hundred thousand people alone!

Since following Ying Su, he had killed over one million six or seven hundred thousand Xiongnu alone!

If you added up everyone he had killed, it would be two million!

Two million people, what a concept!

The God of War, Bai Qi, was named for the number of people he killed!

In his life, he killed two million enemies!

But his kill count relied on the Great Qin army!

And Li Li Yuanba?

Li Li Yuanba truly killed them all by himself!

With such a terrifying and frightening record, who would not be afraid?

Even though Meng Wu and Meng Tian had five hundred thousand troops here, they were terrified! They were afraid!

Why?

Because they were afraid... there wouldn't be enough of them for Li Li Yuanba to kill!

They were truly afraid!

At this moment, they were trembling with fear!

No matter how much Fu Su hated Li Li Yuanba, no matter how much he said in private that he wanted to kill Li Li Yuanba!

But... all of this was just talk in private.
