Outside Daliang City, the Qin Army’s camp and commander’s tent.
Wang Ben and Gu Xun sat opposite each other.
Originally, Wang Ben was going to hold a banquet, firstly to celebrate the destruction of Daliang City, and secondly, to thank Gu Xun for destroying the city today.
However, Gu Xun refused because he was leaving soon.
Wang Ben didn’t force it either.
Of course, the celebration banquet still has to be held, but only after Gu Xun leaves.
Wang Ben picked up the tea cup on the table and said respectfully, "Today we destroyed Wei in one battle, all thanks to the contribution of the national army. Wang Ben has thanked the national army throughout the army!"
Gu Xun waved his hand indifferently, "General Wang Ben is too polite."
"This battle was possible thanks to the general's willingness to believe in Gu."
"Haha..." Wang Ben put down his tea cup and smiled heartily. Recalling the previous situation, a trace of disbelief flashed in his eyes.
He thought that Gu Xun could succeed, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
Less than half an hour after the attack, the Daliang City Gate was broken. The Fangcheng City Gate was knocked to pieces by external forces, and the Daliang City Gate was completely destroyed. All that could be found at the scene were irregular objects that looked like iron plates. p>
Such strength...incredible!
If you can follow the army to attack the city, wouldn't it be a win-win situation?
It's a pity...
Wang Ben couldn't help but feel a trace of regret in his heart, but it was a pity that Gu Xun had no intention of interfering too much in the war.
Gu Xun said at this time, "General, please don't forget to promise me, so I won't bother you anymore."
Wang Ben hurriedly replied, "This is natural. I have already strictly restrained my generals."
"Okay." Gu Xun nodded, stood up and said goodbye, "Then I will set off back to Xianyang."
Wang Ben then stood up and sent Gu Xun out of the camp. He cupped his hands and said, "We are busy with business at the moment, so we can't send him far away. I hope that the national master will pay attention."
"It's okay." Gu Xun replied casually, then thought for a moment and said, "The general should have captured many of the armored disciples. I hope the general can take good care of them and escort them to Xianyang."
"Oh... no problem, it's just a small matter." Wang Ben agreed without thinking much after hearing this.
They were just some captured warriors, their value might not be low, but their importance was average, and he had the right to dispose of them as he pleased.
"Thank you." Gu Xun said a final polite word, then turned and left.
Wang Ben also hurriedly left the military camp and went to Daliang City to handle some matters.
The king of Wei, the custody of Wei's courtiers, the inventory of Wei's treasury, and the temporary military control of Daliang City all needed to be arranged by him personally. There were many things.
………………
On the day when Daliang City was destroyed, Gu Xun and the other two people each rode a horse and embarked on the journey back to Xianyang.
Although Xiaomeng does not go to Xianyang, Taiyi Mountain is near Xianyang and is basically the same road.
Xiaomeng was riding on a small pony. She kept looking back at Daliang City, which had changed its course and transformed into a royal flag. She couldn't help but sigh, "Another country has been destroyed!"
Gu Xunyou moved the reins of his horse leisurely, and glanced sideways at Xiaomeng, "Why, you are quite sentimental?"
Xiaomeng rolled her eyes as usual and replied angrily, "Can't you?"
"You are young, think about things you should think about at your age. The rise and fall of kingdoms is not suitable for you." Gu Xun replied with a smile.
Xiaomeng was silent for a moment after hearing this, and instead of talking back to Gu Xun with her high and clear voice, she asked in a deep voice, "But if this is your life, how can you not think about it?"
At such a young age, one really shouldn’t think about the so-called destruction of the country and the destruction of the family, and the ever-changing mountains and rivers. However, if a person is in the middle of the game and doesn’t think about these things, what can he think about?
Gu Xun pondered for a moment and replied abruptly, "You are about to join Tianzong."
"...So?" Xiaomeng was confused and didn't know why.
Gu Xun leisurely thought, "Those who have the love for life will have nothing to do if they don't care about life; those who have the love for fate will have nothing to do if they don't care about life."
Xiaomeng heard this and murmured in a daze, ""Zhuangzi Dasheng"..."
Soon Xiaomeng came to her senses and couldn't help but replied angrily, "How easy it is to say..."
Gu Xun shrugged and responded, "In a country where the royal power is supreme, the king often decides everything."
"It just so happens that the kings of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong over the years have all been useless, but they happened to meet an ambitious enemy like Ying Zheng..."
"I can only say that in the world's situation, everyone is helpless, including you and me."
"This is the general trend of the world that has been accumulated over hundreds of years. No one can reverse it. Even the King of Qin, who seems to have infinite glory, is just an episode in the general trend."
"Everyone represents a chance, but when all the chances are added up, the result is inevitable that no one can shake."
Xiaomeng couldn't help but ask, "So we have to succumb to fate?"
"Whether you obey or not depends on what you think is the so-called destiny." Gu Xun spread his hands and replied with a smile.
"If you think that all the misfortunes and sufferings in life are a trick of fate, then you can try to resist, but remember that the result has no direct relationship with whether you resist or not."
Xiaomeng laughed angrily at Gu Xun's answer, "Ah... aren't you talking nonsense? What's the point?"
Gu Xun frowned helplessly, "When you are entangled in the so-called fate, it means nothing."
"You can't expect God to really respond to you and tell you whether you have successfully reversed your destiny or not."
"Most of the time, people just use fate as a cover to express their dissatisfaction with their lives."
"After all, life is a random number. From birth to death, uncontrollable accidents will always accompany you throughout your life."
"This is not affected by any external conditions, has nothing to do with origin, has nothing to do with ability, and has nothing to do with anything."
Xiaomeng pouted and didn't talk about it with Gu Xun anymore. She just sarcastically said:
"I hope people from Tianzong won't talk nonsense like you."
"That's definitely not possible." Gu Xun grinned, "The masters of Tianzong must be able to speak better than me."
"I am only half-experienced, others are professionals."
"I use Zhuangzi's words to advise you. It's not that I want you to let go of anything. I just think that you don't have to worry about these things at a young age. You might as well... let it go first."
"Okay, okay..." Xiaomeng replied perfunctorily with her eyes half closed, "I don't need you to remind me again and again, I know that I am just a child!"
Xiaomeng added an extra accent to the last two words.
Gu Xun shrugged again, putting on an innocent face.
Zhang Han watched quietly from the side and couldn't help but smile.
However, Gu Xun and Zhang Han unanimously had some more reliable guesses about Xiaomeng's origin.
The only people who care so much about the subjugation of the country are... the Han and Zhao clans.
As for which one it is... haha, it seems there is no good choice.
