After two days of repairs, the Qin army came back again.
Bai Qi and Huo Qubing teamed up to defeat Wei Qing in Zhuo County, killing 10,000 enemies and capturing 30,000. Wei Qing trapped Zhuo County, completely turning Yanjing into an isolated city.
In addition, Bai Qi ordered Huo Qubing to lead an army of 55,000 people to the north, which was obviously to supplement Su Dingfang's troops.
With Huo Qubing's troops as supplements, the total strength of the Qin army attacking Yanjing City will reach more than 100,000, even more than the 70,000 at its peak.
With no external support and no internal resources, Yanjing had to face the attack of one hundred thousand elite Qin troops. It was only a matter of time before it was defeated.
Su Dingfang, who had an army of 100,000 at his disposal, was already crushing Yanjing in terms of strength, so he naturally did not have so many worries and decisively launched an offensive against Yanjing City.
Of course, before Huo Qubing's troops arrived, the task of siege still had to be left to Yanjing's 50,000-strong army.
Fifty thousand Qin troops once again stormed Yanjing, and there was a violent storm from the beginning, which made the defenders in the city miserable. They were almost only able to parry, and could no longer form an effective counterattack.
The vacancies of catapults and bed crossbows are getting bigger and bigger, all kinds of city defense materials are about to be exhausted, and even the quality of the soldiers is getting worse. Yanjing cannot defend Yanjing even with Commander 104 Xue Gang.
What really makes Xue Gang despair is that this is only an attack by 50,000 Qin troops, and Yanjing is already almost unable to hold on. When Huo Qubing's 50,000 troops arrive, how will they defend the attack by 100,000 Qin troops?
In Yanjing, in the Imperial Palace of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Liu Chezheng of the Han Dynasty was sitting on the dragon throne with a calm expression on his face, showing no fear of the imminent death of his country.
Liu Che calmly looked at the ugly beggar in tattered clothes below, and said calmly: "Ni Bodhisattva, I heard that your divination numbers are unparalleled in the world. Every hexagram is sure to hit. I wonder if you would like to count one for me."
The beggar below is none other than the famous fortune teller Clay Bodhisattva in the world.
The Divination of the Clay Bodhisattva is famously accurate, but in troubled times, the secrets of heaven are not revealed. Even Fuxi, who has mastered the art of innate Bagua, cannot see the future direction clearly, let alone him?
Although Clay Bodhisattva cannot clearly see the future, he can still tell people's fortunes, but people who don't want to come to him to tell fortunes want his life.
In order to avoid being chased, the Ni Bodhisattva disguised himself as a beggar and hid in Yanjing City. He wanted to avoid this catastrophe, but he was found by Liu Che anyway.
When Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty came to ask him to tell fortunes, the Clay Bodhisattva did not dare to refuse and quickly kowtowed: "The common people obey your orders. I wonder what your Majesty wants to tell?"
Liu Che's eyes were calm, as if he was not surprised at all by Ni Bodhisattva's decision, and he said calmly: "I want to know, by whose hands I will die?"
At whose hands will this great Han Dynasty fall?"
The Ni Bodhisattva suddenly trembled in his heart, secretly thinking that I must die in heaven, but he did not dare to disobey.
Tremblingly, he took out the bronze compass from his arms. The Clay Bodhisattva knew that he was probably dead, so he gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and began to concentrate on calculations.
The more he calculated, the more frightened the Clay Bodhisattva became, and his whole body began to tremble unconsciously.
"What's the result?" Liu Che asked.
"The common people...don't dare to say it."
"Tell the truth and I will pardon your innocence. If you don't tell me, you will die." Liu Che said coldly.
After hearing this, the Clay Bodhisattva was heartbroken and gritted his teeth and said: "The hexagram shows that Your Majesty will kill himself and die."
After hearing this, Liu Che's face not only showed no anger, but also showed a hint of surprise.
Originally, he thought that Ni Bodhisattva was a charlatan, and he only recruited him with the mentality of giving it a try, but he didn't expect that this person really had two tricks.
Mud Bodhisattva was obviously right. Liu Che was a very proud man. He would rather die than surrender to anyone, so the only person who could kill him was himself. Now that the city of Yanjing was about to be destroyed, Liu Che naturally had the idea of killing himself.
.
"Ni Bodhisattva, help me calculate one more hexagram, and I will let you go." Liu Che said calmly.
"Excuse me, Your Majesty."
"This time, help me figure out who will kill this big man."
Liu Che would ask this question, which shows that he also believed that the Han Dynasty must perish, and he had already identified in his heart who the person who would perish the Han Dynasty was. The reason why he asked the Clay Bodhisattva for divination was just to make sure.
After hearing Liu Che's words, Clay Bodhisattva's face suddenly turned pale, and he kowtowed: "Your Majesty, the common people... don't dare."
"Forget it, no matter what the outcome is, I will pardon you."
Liu Che obviously misunderstood what the Clay Bodhisattva meant. The reason why the Clay Bodhisattva did not dare to speak was not because he was afraid of disaster, but because he was afraid of revealing the secret of heaven.
If you reveal the secrets of heaven, you will be punished by heaven.
The reason why Clay Bodhisattva had poisonous sores on his face was because too much of the heavenly secrets were leaked.
What Ni Bodhisattva had revealed before was just a trivial matter. Even if it were added up, it would not kill him. But now the matter that Liu Che asked was so big that Fu Xi would probably die immediately if he told it, let alone him.
Looking at Liu Che's cold face, Ni Bodhisattva knew that he could not escape this disaster, so he smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, let the common people forget this hexagram, but please listen to the common people first."
"Say it."
"Your Majesty, the people of Yanjing City sincerely respect you. For your Majesty, they will not hesitate even if they risk their lives. Please consider the sufferings of the people and leave a way for the people of the city to survive. Don't let the people feel cold.
."
Upon hearing this, Liu Che's expression suddenly changed and he said coldly: "I know, let's calculate your fortune."
"well."
The Clay Bodhisattva sighed, his face full of misery, but he still began to calculate, he also wanted to get a glimpse of this huge secret.
The more he calculated, the paler his face became, and even his seven orifices began to ooze blood. The scene was extremely oozing, as if he was fighting against the heavens.
"puff……"
Before he even finished calculating the hexagram, the Clay Bodhisattva could no longer hold on and spit out a large mouthful of blood, his breath becoming extremely weak.
Seeing that the Clay Bodhisattva was about to die, Liu Che couldn't sit still. He didn't care about the life and death of the Clay Bodhisattva, but only cared about the content of the hexagram, so he quickly approached and asked: "What exactly does the hexagram show?"
Mud Bodhisattva opened his mouth with great difficulty, but no sound came out. He held on for his last breath, dipped his fingers in his own blood, and slowly wrote on the floor: Liu, the fallen Han.
After writing it, the Clay Bodhisattva suddenly died, and a generation of fortune tellers died because of leaking the secret of heaven.
"Your Majesty, the Clay Bodhisattva is dead. He probably died of being possessed by a demon."
The guard general Han Zeng said, but Liu Che didn't seem to hear it. His eyes were fixed on the four words on the ground, and he kept mumbling to himself as if he was possessed by a demon.
"Liu was the one who destroyed the Han Dynasty, Liu was the one who destroyed the Han Dynasty, hahahaha, the person who destroyed our Han Dynasty was not Qin Hao, but the descendants of my Liu family. What an irony this is, what an irony it is..."
