Chapter Eighty-Eight: Kaicheng Surrender

"That being the case. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Zheng Ke unconsciously softened his face slightly: "Then I'm afraid this plan to cut off the water is also from the hands of you who joined the army." ”

"Exactly. Qian He didn't mean to hide it at all, and said directly.

Zheng Ke already knew everything at this moment, from beginning to end, it was just a good show for this summer military exercise, if it wasn't for the previous Jiang Shi blind mixing, I am afraid that it is really impossible to say whether this city gate is open or closed now.

"My family joined the army and said, the more Tao is the soil, the people are also the people, the bird flies back to the hometown, the fox dies and the head of the hill, even if the country of Qi is good, it can't withstand the deep feelings of longing. Qian Heyi said this to Zheng Ke according to the explanation he had given to join the army before he left.

Zheng Ke's heart was shocked, Dai Ma Yifeng's feelings were very clear, although he was a minister and was favored by others, but deep in his heart, no matter how poor his mother country was, it was still unforgettable, and he could only drink wine to the moon in the middle of the night.

"The meaning of your family's joining the army, this general already knows, so go back first. Zheng Ke was silent for a moment, and said to Qian He with a whole color.

"Yes, I'll quit here. Hearing this, Qian He bowed again, turned around and walked out of the Qi camp.

Seeing Qian He leaving, Wu Shan immediately stepped forward:

"What is written in this letter, and why does the general change color suddenly?"

Zheng Ke glanced at Wu Dan and pushed the letter to him: "As you said, a new recruit is here." ”

Wu Shan glanced at Zheng Ke in puzzlement, and then stepped forward to take the letter. This look also changed in an instant:

"This-" Wu Shan looked at Zheng Ke with a shocked expression: "How can this be?"

Wang Xu also stepped forward immediately at this moment, took the letter in Wu Dan's hand, and it seemed that like Wu Dan, Wang Xu was also taken aback:

"Water irrigates the more Tao?"

"Now you know. Zheng Ke said coldly: "This joining the army is definitely not the kind of master who eats by relationship in the mouth of Er and others, only blame me for being careless, what kind of existence is General Ji, and how can joining the army by her own finger be a straw bag." ”

"So what should we do now?" Wu Shan looked at Zheng Ke anxiously: "The flood season has arrived, it is estimated that it will not be long before the water potential of the Shang Shui will rise sharply, and as long as the Zhao army opens the gate, let alone defend the city, I am afraid that the entire Yue Tao will be washed away." ”

"I'm worried about the people in the city, you and I both know that without the support of the people in the city, our army will not defend to this day, not to mention the problem of food and grass, even the disparity in strength has long since destroyed the psychological defense line of the soldiers. ”

Wang Xu nodded unconsciously when he heard this: "Yes, if it weren't for the people volunteering to join the army, the old and the young were all soldiers, and the women and children were the backups, if this city wanted to be defended, it would be comparable to ascending to the sky." Previously, the subordinates got the news, saying that General Ji led the Zhao army to kill Wu Feng, everywhere along the way, there were empty cities, the Qi people heard that the Zhao army was coming, all lost their armor, tired of running for their lives, and the palace of King Qi was also in chaos, this battle has not been fought, but the momentum has long been gone, and the only hope at the moment is the return of the reinforcements. ”

"Reinforcements?" Zheng Ke smiled bitterly: "Can we wait?"

Wang Xu was stunned: "What does the general mean?"

Zheng Ke closed his eyes and said for a long time: "You guys retreat first, let me think about it again." ”

"Yes. Wang Xu and Wu Shan responded and retreated.

In Zhao Xin's tent, Jiu Ge was sitting on one side, and Qian He was describing the words and deeds of Zheng Ke and the others to the two of them.

"Well done. Zhao Xin said with a smile: "It's not in vain that I waited for all the hard work before, made up stories, and released news, and made my Zhaojun look like a rabble, which is really insulting." ”

"Insulting Sven?" Jiu Ge couldn't help laughing: "If the general thinks about Jiang Shi's previous plan to scold the enemy, he won't have this feeling, you know, Yue Tao Shoucheng Zheng Ke has suffered much more than us." ”

"Haha, that's exactly what I said. Zhao Xin was in a good mood: "Then what should we do next?"

And so on. ”

"Wait?" Zhao Xin was stunned: "How long will you wait?"

"Wait until Zheng Ke opens the city gate. ”

"Open the city gate?" Zhao Xin looked surprised: "Why is Xia Senjun so sure that he Zheng Ke will not defend Yuetao?"

Just because he didn't refuse Qian He. Jiu Ge said slowly: "After this calculation, he can still be calm and calm, which shows that his bearing is extraordinary, and he treats each other with courtesy, which shows that he is trustworthy." ”

"So you can judge that he can open the city and surrender?"

"There is a third point. Jiu Ge looked at Zhao Xin: "As far as I know, Zheng Ke is against this time to save the prince, this person is upright, and the alliance of the prince of Qi is valued by him, this time King Qi is treacherous, and he naturally loses his integrity."

And Zheng Ke has always loved the people like a son, and when he saw that the people in his city suffered this catastrophe because of the king's fault, he was already indignant in his heart, so there were no more than two ways to defend the city gate, one was the way of the ministers, and the other was that he was worried that the people would be slaughtered after surrendering. ”

Jiu Ge couldn't help but pause when he said this, "I have already made it clear in my letter today that the purpose of sending troops to Yue Tao is to help Wei recover his homeland, and to ignore Jiang Shi's chaotic behavior before, our army does not want to attack the city, and this plan to irrigate the city is also helpless, it is purely an expedient measure to protect itself." ”

"So, do you think Zheng Ke will put down his status as a vassal for the sake of the people in the city?"

"Exactly. Jiu Ge nodded.

"But what if our plan is wrong?" Zhao Xinyou hesitated a little: "After all, it was King Qi who gave him a high-ranking official Houlu in the first place. ”

"That's a gamble. Jiu Ge glanced at Zhao Xin: "Tomorrow is the limit, if he is still hesitant, the general can open the gate first to release the water to see the after-effects." ”

"It's a good move. Zhao Xin smiled: "After all, life is at stake, it is not child's play, it is better to be cautious." ”

"Yes. Jiu Ge nodded in agreement.

Unexpectedly, early in the morning of the second day, Yue Tao opened the city gate, and Zheng Ke personally led a group of soldiers out of the city.

Seeing Zhao Xin, Zheng Ke wanted to bow down, but was held up by Zhao Xin: "The general is equal to me, how can I make this big gift, get up quickly, don't make others laugh." ”

Hearing this, Zheng Ke felt a little relieved in his heart, and still bowed down: "Surrender Zheng Ke, I have come to welcome the general into the city." ”

"General Zheng's words are wrong, Yue Tao is the earth, but the general is the general of Yue Tao, today the people can return to their homeland, all because of the general, the general is so righteous, please accept Zhao Xin's worship. As he spoke, Zhao Xin couldn't help but give a big gift to Zheng Ke, Zheng Ke shook at the moment, hurriedly helped Zhao Xin up, and the two walked side by side towards the city.

There was no sorrow and humiliation of surrendering to the enemy, and the people in the city were very happy, which made Zhao Xin very novel, but it was also unexpected by Zheng Ke, Jiu Ge slowly followed behind to feel the joyful atmosphere, thinking that this is the feeling of returning to the roots, even if he is thousands of miles away, he can also be deeply engraved in his heart, not erased by time, just like himself now.
