Chapter 395 Unwilling to Witness
If these dying old men were the Hun soldiers they had been fighting against, then doesn't that mean that their Great Qin army couldn't even deal with these Hun old men?
Zhang Liang looked at Wang Xin and just smiled slightly.
Suddenly, Wang Xin seemed to think of something. Could it be that fire? That strange fire burned nothing but the lives of these Xiongnu soldiers.
Looking at Wang Xin's expression, Zhang Liang knew that he already understood, so he said no more and just gave a few brief instructions.
"Don't kill the Xiongnu soldiers. They are no longer a threat. Lock them up together and let me decide their fate."
"How did you do it?" Wang Xin asked with difficulty. That's right, how did Zhang Liang quietly start a sea of fire in the Xiongnu camp, and it was a deadly evil fire...
In the bustling city, Zhang Liang looked directly at Wang Xin and asked calmly, "Boss Wang, why do you think I can become the core advisor to Ying Zheng? Is it just because of my eloquence?"
Indeed, if he did not have real talent and knowledge, how could Ying Zheng have made use of Zhang Liang and insisted on letting him command the crucial advance assault team.
"Boss Wang, instead of asking me these questions, why not deal with the mess in front of you and contact the headquarters first." Zhang Liang said, and without waiting for Wang Xin's response, he turned and left. He was going to meet the leader of the Xiongnu, Chanyu Touman. He wanted to unify the Xiongnu, control their army, and win the prestige of Chanyu.
In the center of the headquarters, Zhang Liang found Chanyu Touman. This former Xiongnu overlord was now curled up in a corner, staring at his wrinkled hands with empty eyes.
Nothing is more despairing than losing vitality. Touman is now feeling hopeless and has no idea where his future lies. It seems as if he has entered old age early.
Sensing someone approaching, Touman raised his head with great effort. With his blurred vision, he could only see a white figure, like a god descending from the sky in the night.
Touman recognized this man.
"It was you who set the fire, right?" Touman's voice was old and hoarse, even sounding unfamiliar to himself.
"That's right." Zhang Liang replied calmly.
"Are you Meng Tian's subordinate?" Touman said slowly. The traces of time not only eroded his body, but also his heart. After saying this, Touman wanted to laugh. What was the meaning of Meng Tian's identity? His army no longer existed, and his life was about to come to an end. Everything had become a thing of the past.
"I am not Meng Tian's man," Zhang Liang said, "I came to discuss a deal with you."
"What's the matter? Tell me." Touman was unwilling to refuse. At the moment, his mind was confused and blank, as if his thinking had aged with aging.
"I lit this fire. Of course, I also have a way to put it out." Zhang Liang looked at Touman and said softly, but it was like a heavy hammer hitting Touman's heart.
"You mean, you can make me regain my youth?" Touman seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.
"Not only you, but also your army." Zhang Liang said, "But there is a condition. If you agree, I will give you a new life. Otherwise, there is nothing to talk about."
"I agree." Touman agreed immediately, fearing that Zhang Liang would go back on his word.
"You haven't heard my terms yet."
"What conditions are you still listening to?" Touman smiled bitterly. "If I can get my youth back, what does it matter if I give you the position of Chanyu?"
"Very good." Zhang Liang smiled with satisfaction, "I like dealing with smart people. Next, you have to listen carefully."
Zhang Liang slowly stated his request. Given Touman's current situation, even if it meant picking the stars and embracing the moon, he would try to satisfy Zhang Liang.
“First, Meng Tian’s troops will arrive here soon. I don’t know what he will do, but you can leave before Meng Tian arrives and do not invade the Central Plains in the next thirty years.
Secondly, you must obey my orders unconditionally, and when I need the Hun army, you must send troops immediately.
Finally, I don't need your position as Chanyu, but I want the Xiongnu to be completely under my control. Can you do it?"
Zhang Liang listed three conditions and asked Touman. He wanted to control the Xiongnu, a brave and warlike nation that would become a powerful force for him to conquer the world in the future.
He had considered this as early as when he recommended himself to Ying Zheng as a vanguard. Every step was carefully planned. The world was like a chess game, and everyone was a chess piece. He wanted to play a game with the goal of becoming the emperor.
Touman nodded and agreed to all the requests. He had no choice. If he didn't agree, the following Meng Tian army would never show mercy.
"I don't know your name yet." Touman asked respectfully.
"Zhang Liang."
……
Zhang Liang did not restore the lives of all the Xiongnu soldiers at once, but only restored the lives of Touman. He used "Life Resuscitation".
Since Hei Yu left, he has been studying this technique and finally understood some of its secrets. Today, he used it on Tou Man for the first time and the effect was quite successful.
Touman watched his body gradually recover and become young, healthy and full of vitality again. This feeling of rebirth made him realize the preciousness of life.
He was so excited that he almost knelt down to Zhang Liang, even though Zhang Liang had taken his life and then returned it to him.
Zhang Liang told Touman to lead the army away as soon as possible. After dawn, Meng Tian's troops arrived and it would be difficult to leave.
Touman stood up and began to organize the army to evacuate. Although the soldiers were old, they acted without delay. Even if they were old, they wanted to survive.
Zhang Liang walked by and left the seeds of life on those Hun soldiers. The Hun soldiers imprisoned by Wang Xin were also released by Zhang Liang.
Wang Xin wanted to stop it but it was too late, he could only watch Zhang Liang let those soldiers go. Wang Xin was depressed, because Zhang Liang had just said that he wanted to lock those soldiers together.
The sun was about to rise and a faint dawn was visible in the east. The aging Hun army slowly set out, leaving the Great Wall and returning to the northern grasslands, which were their home.
There is the Gobi Desert with its sandstorms and grasslands with herds of cattle and sheep. No matter good or bad, they are their roots.
Everyone has a desire to return home. At this point, the soldiers no longer struggled and only wanted to go home. When they returned home, they tasted the sweet kumis and slept beside the warm campfire.
Zhang Liang watched the Xiongnu army moving further away and said to Wang Xin beside him: "No matter what, the Xiongnu will not invade the south again within a hundred years."
"I am truly in awe of Mr. Zhang's abilities." Wang Xin expressed his respect sincerely.
Zhang Liang did not move a single soldier, and not only did the Qin army remain unscathed, but even the Xiongnu did not suffer any casualties. Although Wang Xin believed that depriving them of hope of survival was more cruel than killing them directly.
The most brilliant battle is the bloodless one. War is ruthless, and people live in hardship after years of fighting. It is common to see bones in the wilderness, and there is no one living for thousands of miles. Countless families have died in the war, which is heartbreaking.
As a soldier, he did not want to witness such a tragic scene.
