Chapter 19: The Last Gift
Han Kingdom, Jimo City, Fulai Restaurant. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Fulai Restaurant is located near the north gate of Jimo City, and it is the tallest building nearby, a full nine-story attic, if it is placed in the past, it is also a rare lively place in the whole North City, whether day or night, there are always diners and drinkers who come here to squander.
It's a pity that at this time and that time, the Fulai Restaurant at this time has not met a single guest for a whole day, and even the owner of the restaurant has sold the restaurant at a low price a few days ago.
Not only Fulai Restaurant, but also the entire Jimo City, large and small shops, are rarely opened.
The battle ahead is unfavorable, and the final consequence is that people are panicking, if it is at the beginning, maybe they can still wait and see a little calmly, but since they learned a few days ago that the Qin and Han armies have almost reached the capital, where do you dare to be lucky.
In just a few days, the originally prosperous capital city has been desolate. Ordinary people rushed to flee with their few belongings in order to avoid the final battle that was about to break out.
Of course, not everyone will run away, or will be able to escape.
At this time, except for Jimo City, the Han State had no other territory, surrounded by enemies, ordinary people could choose to flee, even if they encountered the Qin and Chu army, at most they were only exploited, but they would not be disturbed by their lives. But if the monk was found in the fleeing procession, the fate would have been completely different.
In the Spring and Autumn Continent, all monks have identity certificates, and Wenchen military generals or rangers can be found at a glance, and it is difficult to fake them at all. And once the monk is caught by the Qin and Han armies, the ranger may still have a glimmer of life, but he will also have to pay a lot of price, not to mention the belongings of the whole body, once he is not pleasing to the eye, he can't even hold his life. As for the military generals of Wenchen...... That would definitely not save your life, even if you surrender.
So now, in addition to the remaining more than 500,000 remnants of the defeated generals in Jimo City, the rest are the powerful civil and military officials of the Han State.
"Sir." The scorpion pushed open the door and walked behind Zhanbai with a very light step.
"Well, how's the inquiry?" Zhan Bai looked through the window, his eyes through the city wall, straight to the outside of the city, where there stood a pair of iron-blooded men with distinct banners, and the huge "Qin" character on the battle flags of all parties was extremely dazzling.
Half a month ago, Zhanbai and his entourage quietly infiltrated Jimo City. Zhan Bai and the Charm Scorpion dressed up as a business traveler, and finally took over the Blessing Restaurant, as for Nie Xiaofan and the more than 1,000 blood refining troops under his command, they intercepted and killed a group of remnants of the Han Kingdom halfway, and after a little dressing, they also mixed in, and after some secret operation, they were assigned to the city defense army at the North City Gate.
I have to say that the location of this Fulai Restaurant is very good, especially standing on the highest ninth floor, looking out of the window, you can clearly see the battlefield outside the city that will not be long after, but it is beyond the range of the bow and crossbow, so as not to be affected.
"There are 130,000 Qin troops outside the city." The scorpion replied lukewarmly.
"130,000?" Hearing this answer, Rao is Zhanbai was also shocked.
This time, the Qin army attacked the Han State and sent 150,000 troops, and Zhanbai still knew this news. And under the successive wars, there are still 130,000 to this day? In other words, aren't there only 30,000 sergeants who have been lost?
"Geometry of the soldiers?" Zhan Bai couldn't help but ask.
"The Qin army went straight to the north, attacking all the way, attacking the city and pulling out the fortress is invincible, capturing a total of 164 large and small cities, and killing 670,000 Han troops." Speaking of which, the scorpion is also a rare amazement.
"Are all the armies of the Han Kingdom pigs?" For no reason, Zhan Bai was a little angry.
"The subordinates have also investigated, it is really the bow and crossbow of the Qin army is too strong, every time there is a war, ten thousand arrows open the way, just a few rounds of salvos, it will make the Han army flow into a river of blood, where is there still the slightest morale under the fear, and even can't wait for the impact of the Qin swordsmen, they abandon the city and flee, and they can't organize much counterattack at all. To put it bluntly, those Han soldiers who died in the hands of the Qin army either died under the arrows or their hearts were broken. ”
"The Qin army is good at fighting, and it really deserves its reputation." Zhan Bai sighed faintly, "What about Chu Jun's side?" ”
"Along the way, the Chu army suffered 150,000 losses, captured 137 cities, and killed 530,000 enemies." The scorpion said indifferently.
This result is actually not bad, but everything is afraid of comparison. Compared with the Qin army's record, the Chu army's side is really ......
"Anything else?" Zhan Bai saw that the scorpion looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, so he took the initiative to ask.
"Sir, just now, the news from Su Lingyin's side." The scorpion didn't hide it.
"Oh? Could something have changed? Zhan Bai was stunned.
In fact, Su Qin was still in the dark until now, and he didn't know the news of Zhanbai's return, but two of the hundred blood refining troops who were responsible for protecting him knew, and these two people secretly became spies for Zhanbai to learn about the situation of the Chu army. In order to hide his identity, he will not rush to spread the news unless he has to.
"An hour ago, Qin and Chu had a meeting outside the city. Zhang Han, the general of the Qin State, negotiated with Su Lingyin, and conducted preliminary negotiations on the division of interests in the future, but ......" The scorpion said that his face was a little ugly.
"But what?" The corners of Zhanbai's mouth twitched slightly, as if he had expected something.
"The outcome of the negotiations was far from ideal. It is said that Zhang Han's lion opened his mouth widely, and he actually made a previous agreement to occupy six points of the territory of the Han Kingdom. Scorpion replied.
"Su Qin agreed?" Zhan Bai didn't seem surprised by this answer.
"No, and it is impossible to say yes. After all, that one was the one who came from the imperial driver's own recruitment, and Su Lingyin didn't dare to compromise. Scorpion shook her head.
"I'm afraid that in the end, if you don't want to agree, you have to agree." Zhan Bai smiled bitterly.
The so-called situation is stronger than people, and everyone wants more interests, but in the end, it is not the upper and lower lips, but the fist.
The Qin army attacked all the way, and the 150,000-strong army only lost 30,000. On the other hand, on the side of the Chu army, the 400,000 army had the fire dragon guns and powerful armor provided by Zhanbai, but it lost 150,000. The two sides are compared, which is stronger and which is weak, can be seen at a glance. In this case, once Jimo is finally captured, what will the Chu army do to fight with the Qin army?
"The same is true of the news from over there, and I am not optimistic about the Chu army." The scorpion nodded, as if thinking of something again, and hurriedly added, "There is one more thing, this time Zhang Han actually brought two thousand Qin Ying swordsmen with him. ”
"Qin Ying Swordsman?!" Zhan Bai's whole body was shocked, the time he had been in the Spring and Autumn Continent was not short, how could he not have heard of this name.
Although its fame is as famous as the skilled warriors of the Qin State, the Wei Wushu of the Wei State and the Hufu Jingqi of the Zhao State, the number of the latter three is all more than 10,000 people, while the Qin Ying swordsman is only 2,000 people, but in terms of number, it is not difficult to see its strength.
"Is the information reliable?" Zhan Bai frowned slightly, showing that he attached great importance to this information.
"Reliable, in this meeting between the two sides, in order to show off their military might, the two thousand Qin Ying swordsmen appeared as Zhang Han's personal guards." The scorpion nodded again.
"It was rumored that there were only two thousand Qin Ying swordsmen in the Qin State, in other words, all of them were handed over to Commander Zhang Han. Isn't that a bit of a fuss? Zhan Bai seemed to be questioning the scorpion, and seemed to be talking to himself.
The 150,000 army, only 30,000 were lost, and 670,000 Han troops were killed, and the difference in strength between the two sides can be imagined. If at the beginning, the Qin State sent the Qin Ying Swordsmen just to be safe, then after thoroughly figuring out the combat power of the Han State, why didn't the Qin Ying Swordsmen be transferred back? You must know that the pressure of the Qin State at this time is not small. On the eastern front, although Bai Qi, who commanded an army of 300,000 troops, made a strange move, but in the face of the million Qi army commanded by Sun Wu, he was still losing and retreating, in this case, the transfer back of Qin Ying swordsmen would undoubtedly greatly alleviate the unfavorable situation of Qin.
Don't look at the Qin Ying swordsmen who only have more than 2,000 people, but they can compare to 100,000 troops, this is definitely not a trace of exaggeration, but the glory that has gone through countless battles.
Zhanbai is a suspicious person, even if there is no abnormality on the surface, it is possible for him to find out the flaws at the bottom of the matter, not to mention that there are such obvious flaws now.
"Am I thinking wrong, after destroying the Han State, the Qin State dared to start a war against the Chu State?" Zhan Bai's forehead wrinkled deeply, muttering to himself.
I can't figure it out, because no matter how I think about it, it won't do much good to the Qin State.
"At this meeting, have the two sides drawn up a time limit for attacking the city?" Putting aside the doubts in his heart for a while, Zhan Bai asked again.
"Hmm." The scorpion nodded, "The two sides have decided, and tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon, troops will be sent at the same time." The Qin army mainly attacked the north city gate and feinted to attack the east city gate. The Chu army mainly attacked the south city gate and strictly guarded the west city gate, so as not to let the remnants of the Han State break through. ”
"Is there any news from Yan Guo?" Zhan Bai asked again with a leap of thought.
"Nope." The scorpion shook its head.
"No news at all?" Zhan Bai said in disbelief.
The scorpion shook its head solemnly, "At least I haven't heard anything from me until now. ”
"No matter how much the 50,000 Qin army hides, it is impossible for them to break into the Wei State without any news." Zhan Bai muttered again in his heart, "Could it be that the news has been blocked by the Qin State, and even Xiao Na can't hear it?" ”
The lack of intelligence, Rao is Zhanbai thinks that no matter how smart he is, he can't understand the strategy of the Qin State at all, this is the so-called Qiao woman is difficult to cook without rice.
Scratching his head, Zhanbai also knew that it would be useless to think about it at this time, so he could only give up.
"There are three things that are commanded. The first thing is to tell Xiao Fan, let them find a way to get out tonight, and then go straight to Nancheng to find a good hiding place to hide, in addition, all your people should be withdrawn from the city gate, there is no need to help the Qin army. After some contemplation, Zhan Bai began to issue orders.
"Yes, then sir, you ......" The scorpion didn't say it explicitly, but it was obviously worried about Zhanbai's safety.
When the army is in chaos, Jimo City at this time is not safe, especially those remnants of the defeated soldiers who retreated from the front line, and they have become bandits, burning, killing and looting. This Fulai Restaurant is located at the north gate of the city, and it is so conspicuous, if it weren't for the maintenance of the pretended blood refining army, I am afraid that it would have been burned down by those lawless ruffians.
There was a blood refining army to deter them before, but once they were evacuated, the Fulai Restaurant would definitely be difficult to protect, and Zhanbai, who lived here, would inevitably be in danger.
"Don't you think it's a good place to watch a show? Don't worry, at this time, the Qin and Chu armies are approaching the city, and the Han army in the city is afraid that they will not have the heart to destroy it again. Zhan Bai shook his head with a chuckle, and gave the scorpion an answer.
"Then there's the second thing."
Seeing that Zhan Bai was like this, the scorpion no longer persuaded him, and immediately listened.
"At two o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow, pass a letter to Su Qin's side and tell him about our existence, so as not to break the city, the blood refining army will be attacked by the Chu army, that is a big water that washes the Dragon King Temple, making a joke." Zhan Bai chuckled.
Although the scorpion didn't know why it had to specify such a specific time, it didn't ask much, but just nodded.
"It seems that the Han Kingdom is preparing to trap the beast and fight. Anyway, there is no way to retreat, the battle is death, surrender is death, although the mourning soldiers may not be able to win, but it will more or less cause a lot of trouble to the Qin and Chu armies. You go and tell Xiao Fan, let him always pay attention to the battle situation, once the Han army puts all its forces into the battlefield, immediately let him lead the blood refining army to bypass the battlefield, and use the internal emptiness to attack the palace with all his might, I am afraid that it will be difficult to capture the Han King alive, but it must occupy the palace before Chu Jun. Zhan Bai's eyes couldn't help but froze as he spoke, and turned his head to look south, although there was a wall blocking him and he couldn't see anything, but it was not difficult to know what his mind was.
"Mi Jun, this is my last gift to you, since then you and I do not owe each other, as for the future...... Do it yourself. Zhan Bai muttered.
The strength of the Qin army is not difficult to see from today's meeting. The state of Chu wants to pull out its teeth and take greater benefits from the hands of the Qin army, and the key point is who can take the palace first.
This is also the great gift in Zhanbai's mouth, a great gift to the Chu army.
With the merit of capturing the palace, he also has some capital in the future negotiations with the Qin army.
"Sir, do you mean that for the King of Han, as long as he dies?" Scorpion asked self-righteously.
Zhan Bai glanced at the scorpion meaningfully, but shook his head, "Don't talk about capturing alive, just afraid of corpses, we can't even think of it." ”
"Why?"
"Yellow Sky Cemetery." Zhan Bai just said four words, and the scorpion already understood.
This Huangtian cemetery is not the other Huangtian cemetery, the reason why Zhanbai said this is more of a reminder.
You must know that next to the entrance of the Huangtian Cemetery of the Chu King's Palace, there is a Fahua Array that can go directly to Tianmo City.
The state of Chu is like this, Zhanbai does not believe it, and the state of Han does not have this kind of preparedness.
As the king of the fallen country, the king of Han may not make the feat of martyrdom for the country when he obviously has a chance to escape. Isn't King Zhongshan, who was restored by the Yan Kingdom before, a clear example?
What's more, for the King of Han, leaving Qingshan without worrying about running out of firewood, at this time the battle of Qi and Qin is still going on, once the Qin State is defeated, at that time, the Han State may not have a chance to make a comeback.
"Alright, let's go." Zhan Bai said no more and waved his hand at the scorpion.
