The most intelligent general in the world

"Don't worry, this is not an elixir of immortality, it's just an ordinary medicine to replenish qi and strengthen the body." Zhang Liang said calmly, trying not to let his concern show.

Ying Zheng took the pill doubtfully and put it in his mouth.

A warm current surged through his body after the pill entered his mouth, quickly repairing Ying Zheng's tired and weak body. This Tianyuan Pill was only a medium-grade pill, and its effect was only a simple healing and strengthening of the body. However, it was of no use to Zhang Liang, but for Ying Zheng, it was a blessing of rebirth.

Ying Zheng felt the changes in his body, and couldn't suppress the joy on his face. He felt as if he was ten years younger. In fact, this Tianyuan Pill could allow Ying Zheng to live another year.

Zhang Liang will give this pill to Ying Zheng sooner or later. He wants Ying Zheng to live. As long as Ying Zheng is alive, the city can maintain a short period of peace. If Ying Zheng dies, the war will surely reignite.

And this war would not be started by Zhao Gao, Liu Bang or Xiang Yu, but only by him, Zhang Liang.

"Who gave you those pills?" Zhang Liang asked.

"Zhao Gao." Ying Zheng replied. He had completely trusted Zhang Liang.

"Do you know what will happen if you eat it?"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng smiled bitterly: "I know, but I have to eat it."

"why?"

"That was the deal between me and Zhao Gao. Although the pills are harmful, I have to take them. If I don't take them, I may not live for more than ten days."

Suddenly, Zhang Liang seemed to realize something. He felt Ying Zheng's pulse and found it was almost imperceptible. The symptoms were exactly the same as Hei Yu's...

The only difference is that Hei Yu's energy has been drained by Zhao Gao, while Ying Zheng is barely struggling on the line between life and death.

"Zhao Gao drained your vitality?" Zhang Liang asked. "Why did this happen?"

"There is no need to pursue this issue any further. This is a private matter between Zhao Gao and me." Ying Zheng tried to change the subject.

Ying Zheng wanted to avoid talking about it, but Zhang Liang did not intend to let it go. He had to find out today why Zhao Gao wanted to deprive Hei Yu and Ying Zheng of their vitality? What kind of deal did Ying Zheng make with Zhao Gaoda?

Zhang Liang pressed forward step by step without retreating.

Ying Zheng frowned and revealed some inside information helplessly. Zhao Gao was the leader of Yin-Yang magic, who knew everything about Yin-Yang, was ambitious, and longed for immortality.

Ying Zheng didn't know how Zhao Gao achieved immortality, he only knew that he was like a bottomless abyss, constantly plundering the lives of others. Zhao Gao promised that as long as Ying Zheng gave up his vitality, he could also gain immortality.

At that time, Ying Zheng, who was tempted by power and eternity, gave up his vitality.

Zhao Gao did not completely absorb his life force, but only devoured most of it, leaving Ying Zheng with only a glimmer of life left. Relying on Zhao Gao's elixir, Ying Zheng was able to maintain his life.

If he were cut off from the elixirs, Ying Zheng’s broken body would not last more than ten days.

"So, you made a deal with Zhao Gao for eternal life?" Zhang Liang wanted to blame and beat Ying Zheng at the same time. Is this what an emperor should be like? It's really sad that he lacks strategy.

"Things are complicated, stop asking." Ying Zheng held his forehead with his hand as if he had a headache, and said slowly.

Seeing that he could not get any more out of his questions, Zhang Liang stopped asking and just said to Ying Zheng: "Don't take that elixir anymore. Don't take any other elixir except the one I gave you."

"Okay." Ying Zheng nodded in agreement.

Zhang Liang no longer stayed in the car, walked out of the car, and continued to sit outside, lost in thought.

Zhao Gao is by no means an ordinary person. He will stop at nothing to achieve his goals and his scheming is unfathomable. Add to that his violent temper and the witch beside him who is constantly devouring lives... What exactly is Zhao Gao planning?

This world seems to be hiding a huge secret, and everything is shrouded in thick fog.

The convoy continued to move forward, its destination was the northwest, where the Huns were active, and unknown dangers were waiting ahead.

However, no matter whether the devil or Buddha stands in his way, he will remove all obstacles! If anyone in the world stands in his way, he will kill everyone in the world!

There was a determined light in Zhang Liang's eyes.

This was Ying Zheng's fifth tour, and this time he came to the Great Wall.

The Great Wall is a frontier defense line. To defend the Great Wall is to protect the territory of the Qin Dynasty. At present, the only powerful enemy of the Qin Dynasty is the Xiongnu, a nomadic people without a fixed territory. They call themselves a nation on horseback, and their only pleasure is to go south to plunder the Central Plains.

In their view, the Central Plains is rich, with plenty of food, fat cattle and sheep, and it is close at hand. More importantly, it seems easy to bully, so wouldn't it be a pity not to rob them?

Therefore, Xiongnu cavalry often broke into the nearest town on the border, looted some and then left. When they had used up all the things they had robbed last time, they would come again on horseback with knives in hand.

There is no logic to this nation on horseback.

In order to resist the Huns, Ying Zheng built the Great Wall and sent Meng Tian to guard the border and repel the Huns.

Meng Tian went north to fight against the Xiongnu and stopped their southward invasion. Together with the Great Wall, he brought peace and tranquility to the people living in the border areas. This was also an eternal achievement during the reign of Ying Zheng.

It took more than ten days to travel from Xianyang to Jiuyuan County in the north. Fortunately, with the nourishment of Zhang Liang's Tianyuan Dan, Ying Zheng's physical condition was not seriously affected, and the journey that originally took half a month was only taken ten days.

Arriving at the Great Wall, Meng Tian had already known about Ying Zheng's arrival and was waiting for him. The army lined up to welcome Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng's motorcade slowly drove into the military camp. Zhang Liang sat in the car, looking at the soldiers on both sides, and couldn't help but sigh: This is worthy of being the Great Qin Empire.

General Meng Tian waited in the tent for a long time. Ying Zheng got off the car and entered the military tent with Meng Tian and Zhang Liang.

Meng Tian had been fighting for many years and was very brave and fierce. His bronze face was obviously the result of wind and sun. He was tall and strong and knelt on one knee to salute Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng nodded slightly, Meng Tian stood up and said to Ying Zheng: "Recently, the Xiongnu have been arrogant and have invaded many times, but they were all stopped by me and failed to set foot on the Great Wall."

"Very good." Ying Zheng nodded. "This time I came here to start a war with the Xiongnu and make them not dare to go south again for at least 50 years."

"I obey your command." Meng Tian answered in a resounding voice.

Afterwards, Meng Tian and Ying Zheng began to study the battle plan, while Zhang Liang was completely ignored.

In Meng Tian's view, Zhang Liang was just a sorcerer brought by Ying Zheng in his pursuit of immortality. He had seen many people like him, and most of them would be thrown into the mass grave in the north of the city in half a year.

No one was spared except Xu Fu, who was sent overseas to search for immortals.

What Meng Tian didn't know was that there was another hidden story.

In his opinion, there is no such thing as an immortal in the world. It is just a lie made up by sorcerers for money and status.

Meng Tian and Ying Zheng were having a heated discussion, and Zhang Liang was listening on the side, because he had nothing to do except listening.

"I think we can launch a surprise attack and catch the enemy by surprise. This will not only save manpower and supplies, but also achieve amazing results."

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Very good. The Xiongnu often launch surprise attacks on our Great Qin. This time we will treat them in their own way, and we must be more ruthless and fierce, so as to seriously injure their vitality."
