Chapter Two Hundred and Fifty-Two: Unification and Six
Qi Wang Jian thought about it again and again, and decided to agree to the way Hou Sheng said. Although he didn't know the national strength of Qi very well, he knew that using his soldiers to fight the Qin army was not the opponent of the Qin army at all. Rather than waiting for the Qin army to break through the city gate and enter his palace, his life may still be in danger, so it is better to surrender directly, maybe the king of Qin can give himself a big reward for the relationship with him as an ally back then.
Hou Sheng was overjoyed when he got the permission of the King of Qi. He left the palace, returned to his home, discussed everything with his diners, and then sent someone to leave Linzi City to negotiate with the Qin army outside the city.
Meng Tian led the army to the outside of Linzi City, and also knew that the Qi army transferred the army from the southern front, and it also arrived in Linzi City at about the same time as him. Although there was no pressure on the 100,000 Qi army, after all, it was a big battle of hundreds of thousands of people, and Meng Tian still made his soldiers prepare to fight the Qi army.
Two days later, Meng Tian was discussing with Meili and others in the tent how to attack Linzi City, when suddenly a soldier came in from outside the tent and said that an envoy from the king of Qi had arrived.
Meng Tian asked people to bring in the envoy of King Qi. The envoy of the King of Qi followed the soldiers of the Mengjia army into the barracks, and saw countless Qin troops rubbing their hands along the way, and the posture was not much stronger than the Qi army. Those soldiers of the Meng family army looked at him as if they were like a little sheep entering a place full of tigers, and if they were not careful, they would be torn to pieces by these Qin troops.
The envoy of the King of Qi followed the soldiers of the Mengjia Army who led the way into Meng Tian's Chinese army commander's tent, here, Meng Tian, Meng Li, Du Hui, Xue Bin, Ma Feng and other senior generals were here, and when they saw the envoy of the King of Qi coming in, their eyes looked at him in unison.
It didn't matter if I looked at it, it almost scared this timid and scared envoy of King Qi into peeing his pants. He was just an inconspicuous diner under Housheng's door, because he had some small means, so he mixed up and ate under Housheng's door, and then was sent to be this thankless envoy of King Qi.
"Villain worship...... Meet the ...... Great General. As soon as the envoy of the king of Qi entered the tent, he knelt on the ground, knocked on the ground and stammered.
His bow made everyone in the tent laugh, because Meng Tian was not sitting in his seat, he was standing on the side and looking at the map. The envoy's worship was to bow down to Ma Feng, because Ma Feng was standing next to Meng Tian, and the envoy didn't know that these people in the tent were the main generals of the Qin army, so he worshiped the wrong person.
Meng Tian turned around and saw the envoy of the King of Qi bowing on the ground, and the others were laughing again. He said, "Get up, let me ask you, what is the matter with the King of Qi sending you?"
The envoy of the King of Qi still knelt on the ground, and did not dare to raise his head, so he said: "The King of Qi and the Lord of Xiangguo sent the villain to tell the general that the King of Qi is willing to surrender to the King of Qin, and please don't lead the army to attack the city first." ”
This is a good thing for Meng Tian, so that the Qi state will soon be accepted by the whole territory, and he can return to Xianyang City as soon as possible to reunite with his wife and children.
"Is the King of Qi willing to be a vassal to my king?" asked Meng Li.
"What the villain said is true, oh, by the way, this is a letter from the Lord of my family, and he instructed me to give this letter to the general. ”
Ma Feng stepped forward and took the letter from the messenger, and then handed it to Meng Tian.
Meng Tian opened the letter, which did say that the King of Qi had promised to surrender to the King of Qin, but he did not know how the King of Qin would settle the King of Qi, as long as the news that the King of Qin would place the King of Qi came, the King of Qi would immediately open the city gate to welcome the Qin army into the city.
After Meng Tian read it, he said to the envoy: "You get up first, this matter is not something that this general can do." You go back and tell your master that if the king of Qi is really willing to surrender to my king, he will ask him to write a letter of surrender in person, and I will submit this letter of surrender to my king, and my king will decide. ”
The messenger stood up, he cautiously raised his head to look at Meng Tian, and quickly lowered his head after making eye contact with Meng Tian. "The villain remembered the general's words, and went back to report to my master. ”
"Well, after the deed is done, General Ben will definitely reward you heavily. ”
The envoy returned to the city and explained to Hou Sheng what Meng Tian wanted.
Hou Sheng felt that Meng Tian's request was very reasonable, and if he was Meng Tian, he would also let King Qi do it. Search the e-book
"The Japanese prime minister of tomorrow will enter the palace and let the king write a letter of descent, you have done this very beautifully, but you still need to bother you to go tomorrow, and tomorrow you will enter the palace with the prime minister. ”
"The villain obeyed. ”
Hou Sheng entered the palace and explained the requirements of the Qin army to the King of Qi, and the King of Qi wrote the surrender letter and handed it to Hou Sheng. Hou Sheng did not delay, after getting the letter of surrender from King Qi, he handed it over to his own doorman when he left the palace, and asked him to continue to send letters in the Qin camp.
Meng Tian took the letter of surrender of the king of Qi in his hand and looked at it, and after confirming that it was correct, he handed it to the messenger in the Mengjia army who was responsible for delivering the news, and asked him to ride a fast horse back to Xianyang to submit the letter of surrender of the king of Qi to the king of Qin.
After about ten days, the King of Qin sent his minister Chen Chi to Meng Tian's camp.
When the envoy of the king of Qin arrived, Meng Tian ordered someone to send a message to the Qi army, and the two sides agreed on a time to let the envoy enter the city and convey the edict of the king of Qin to the king of Qi.
Meng Tian asked Meng Li to lead a thousand soldiers to protect Chen Chi to Linzi City, and now the Qi army has not lost much, if the Qi army suddenly changes the hexagram, with this thousand soldiers, it will definitely be able to protect him out of the city.
Compared with Meng Tian's solemnity, King Qi is very generous. When Chen Chi entered the city, he sent people to the gate of the city to solemnly welcome the envoy of King Qin into the city. Because in Qi Wangjian's opinion, since the King of Qin sent an envoy to come, he must have promised himself a high reward, so he sent someone to show his respect.
When he arrived at the palace of King Qi, King Qi held a grand welcome ceremony in the palace, and personally took the hand of the envoy Chen Chi, and the two entered the palace hall together, and on the welcome banquet, Chen Chi's actions were set on the side of the throne to show his respect for the envoys of Qin.
Chen Chi said to King Qi at the banquet: "The king doesn't know, after my king learned that the king was willing to lead the people to surrender, Long Yan was happy, and the king of Qi has been deferential to my Qin State for more than 40 years, so my king is very generous to King Qi." Our king took the Gongcheng of my Qin State as the fief of the king of Qi, and allowed the king of Qi to take away the princesses and others in the palace, and the officials there were responsible for the living of the king of Qi. What does the king think?"
Although he was not very familiar with the territory of Qin, Qi Wangjian still knew the place of Gongcheng, which was not a good place, and could even be said to be deserted. After learning that King Qin had sealed the Gongcheng to himself, Qi Wangjian's face was ugly, and he was speechless for a while.
Chen Chi naturally knew that King Qi's face was not good-looking, he sat on the side and said, "Does the king know that King Zhao of Zhao also surrendered to our king under the siege of our army, how did King Zhao end?"
Qi Wangjian's forehead was full of beads of sweat, although the hall was very cool. He shook his head and said, "I don't know. ”
After King Zhao surrendered, His Royal Highness King Qin directly sent him to prison, using all his wives and daughters as slaves, and it didn't take long to hear that King Zhao died of illness in prison. Therefore, I want to persuade His Royal Highness the King of Qi that now my king does not have to surrender to the King of Qi, even if the king does not surrender, it is only a trivial matter for my Qin army to defeat Linzi. It's just that at that time, I'm afraid that King Qi's treatment will not be much better than that of King Zhao, please think about it. ”
The words of King Qin's envoys echoed above the main hall, not only Qi Wangjian, but even Hou Sheng and all the ministers of Qi who were sitting below were also in a cold sweat on their backs. King Yingzheng of Qin is ruthless and ruthless, and the world knows it, otherwise he would not have imprisoned his biological mother in the old palace of Qin State in Yongcheng, and he didn't look at it until he died of illness. Now that such a thing has fallen on him, everyone can't help but worry about their future fate.
Chen Chi stood beside Meng Li, originally the military generals needed to untie the sword when they went to the palace, but Meng Li was responsible for protecting Chen Chi's safety, so no one dared to ask him to untie the sword when he went to the palace.
Chen Chi has a backer, even though he is still talking and laughing in the palace hall of Qi State. He looked at the ministers of Qi sitting below, and said, "Everyone, we will be colleagues in the future, come, drink with you." Then he raised his glass and drank it down.
Everyone else has spoken, and their own net worth and lives are in the hands of others, and this glass of wine can't help but drink. All the ministers, including Hou Sheng, also raised their glasses, toasted Chen Chi, and then drank them all in one fell swoop.
The next day, the king of Qi was dressed in plain clothes, holding the jade seal of Qi in his hand, and walked out of the gate of Linzi City to hand over the jade seal to Meng Tian, expressing his willingness to surrender.
Since then, from the 17th year of Qin Wangzheng to the 28th year of Qin Wangzheng, the ten-year-long war to unify the world has come to an end, and the world has finally been unified.
Finally, I was halfway through the writing, and I stumbled over the writing, but fortunately I persevered, and I continued to work hard.
