Chapter 416: Borrowing a knife to kill

Why did the deputy general say this, it was because he had already been bought by Qin Guozuo.

Throughout history, at the end of this kind of war, there have been many surrenderers.

And it is a detailed espionage, and the activities are frequent.

Zhang Xi had no intention of fighting to the death, and with the help of the deputy general, he immediately decided to send a secret letter to King Qin, and took the initiative to open the south gate to welcome the coalition army in.

He is the guard of the South Gate, and it is not easy to send a secret letter out.

Late that night, one of his henchmen rode a fast horse, secretly opened the city gate, and slipped out.

At this time, Xiao Yuan had not rested, and not long after, the soldiers came to report:

"King Qiyu, someone asked to see him, claiming to be the guard of the South Gate, Zhang Xi's secret envoy."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Xiao Yuan's spirit was shocked, and he hurriedly said, "Bring it in." ”

"No!" The soldier took the order and left.

It didn't take long for an ordinary-looking man to be brought in.

When he saw King Qin, he naturally knelt on the ground and hugged his fists, and Shi Li said: "The villain sees His Royal Highness the King of Qin!" On the orders of my general, I came to deliver the letter. ”

"Don't be polite, where the letter is, present it." Xiao Yuan said directly.

"Your Highness!" The man answered, then got up, held a roll of bamboo slips in both hands, respectfully placed it on the handsome case, and then bowed back.

Xiao Yuan picked it up, pulled open the string tied to the bamboo slip, unfolded it, and looked at it carefully.

Present the letter of His Royal Highness the King of Qin:

His Royal Highness was ordered to rebel, commanding the king of the world, the soldiers pointed out, the thieves bowed their heads, the king of Yan resisted stubbornly, it was really self-immeasurable, today, the alliance is millions, the soldiers are coming to the city, the last general Zhang Xi, the light of the fireflies, how dare to compete with the sun and the moon, willing to bow down and bow, open the city to welcome, follow the work of dogs and horses......

This secret letter is simple and clear, in the letter, Zhang Xi no longer calls King Yan His Majesty, which is enough to explain everything.

Xiao Yuan finished reading, his eyes flashed, and then he put away the bamboo slips, looked at the man and said: "Very good, you go back immediately and tell General Zhang Xi, after the matter is completed, this king will be awarded the second general!" ”

"Huh!?" Hearing this, the man suddenly showed surprise on his face, and gave a salute again and again: "Your Highness!" Thank you, Your Highness! ”

"Go ahead!" Xiao Yuan waved his hand.

"Yes!" The man hurriedly retired.

After he left, Shangguan Wenruo stood up and said, "King, do you really want to make Zhang Xi a second-rank general?" ”

"What do you think?" Xiao Yuan asked funny.

Shangguan Wenruo said: "Zhang Xi has no talent, and as a general, he surrendered in battle, so it is really not suitable to be reused." ”

"You're right, there are only a few generals in the Qin State, how many generals in the army have great military exploits, their positions are not enough, Zhang Xi is a traitor to the enemy, betraying the lord and seeking glory, why?" Xiao Yuandao.

"But the king has promised him, as the king of a country, if he goes back on his word, he will inevitably be criticized, but the minister has a plan to solve this matter." Shangguan Wenruo said.

"Oh?" Xiao Yuan's heart moved, and he motioned for him to continue.

Shangguan Wenruo thought for a while: "Since Zhang Xi is willing to open the city, then let the Liang army attack the south gate, and the king will push one or two from it, and with the character of King Liang, he will kill this person!" ”

"Good way!" After Xiao Yuan heard this, he immediately praised it.

This hand borrowed a knife to kill people, and when the time came, it was Zhang Xi who was killed by his Liang army, but it had nothing to do with Xiao Yuan.

I have to say that Shangguan Wenruo's quick thinking and he is also a very qualified strategist, and he has solved a lot of troubles for the king.

After Zhang Ximi's letter was delivered, early the next morning, Xiao Yuan, as the initiator of the alliance, began to invite the kings to discuss the army.

In the big tent, the four kings gathered, and on both sides stood generals and strategists at all levels.

Xiao Yuan didn't have any nonsense, and said directly: "Situ of the Yan Kingdom persuaded King Yan to surrender, and he has been beheaded, from this point of view, King Yan is bound to fight to the death, even so, there is nothing to say, the time has come, and my ally can start attacking the city." ”

"It is suggested that the Liang army attack the south gate, the Ling army attack the north gate, the Xuan army attack the east gate, and the Qin army attack the west gate."

He did not tell Zhang Xi's secret letter, but continued:

"In this battle, the goal of attacking the heart is achieved, the morale of the Yan army is low, so as to quickly break through the Yan capital, if anyone can be the first to break through the city defense and behead the enemy defenders, he should remember the great achievement of the allies!"

"Good!" As soon as he finished speaking, King Liang was the first to answer.

Because of the four city defenses, the strength of the Yan army is comparable, and it is the same wherever it is attacked.

The other two kings also had no opinion.

Since everyone agrees, then there is nothing more to say.

On the morning of the same day, outside the south gate, after the Liang army arrived, King Liang didn't say a word, directly pulled out the Wang sword, and pointed forward:

"Go to war!"

Under his order, the sound of mechanical bouncing sounded, and one after another stone throwing machines began to throw stone bullets, which smashed all over the city pass one after another.

The Liang Army's infantry also immediately charged.

Shouting and killing in all directions, the plain outside the gate, there are crowds of people everywhere.

Countless Liang soldiers carried ladders and rushed forward frantically, and crossbowmen, after running a certain distance, began to bend their bows and arrows, and launched indiscriminate shooting at the city.

The random arrows attacked, coupled with the stone bullet strike, some Yan troops in the city defense were pressed and did not dare to show their heads.

Zhang Xi was even in the middle position, hugging his head and running away, he also pulled the deputy general and screamed: "Hurry! Let's go to Kaesong! Don't let the coalition misunderstand! ”

"Yes!" The adjutant hurriedly answered and hurried down.

When he arrived at the city gate, he was at the city gate soldiers, pointing his hands and shouting, "Open the city!" ”

Yes!? Hearing this, the soldier was almost stunned: "But ...... But the general ......"

"Let you open it! Where is so much nonsense! The lieutenant was furious, and at the same time drew his sword and stepped forward, looking like he was about to slash and kill the soldiers.

He was a general, and the soldier was shocked by such an act, and was suddenly startled, and then replied again and again: "Yes, yes......"

As he spoke, he began to remove a few thick deadbolts.

But outside, the siege vehicle of the Liang army has arrived, the bolt has just been lowered, the impact has come, and with a bang, the city gate has been directly knocked open!

The Yan sergeant inside retreated in panic.

And outside, Liang Jun probably didn't expect that this one would knock open the gate of the capital, which was so tall and heavy!

For a while, many people were stunned for a moment, but soon, Admiral Tang Yue was the first to react and shouted loudly:

"Kill—"

As soon as the words fell, he was the first to rush in.

With his shout, Sergeant Liang reacted to it, and then raised his sword, shouted one after another, and swarmed in!

In the city, after the deputy general of the south gate opened the city, he saw Tang Yue killing, and said happily: "General, our department has opened the city gate as agreed......"

But Tang Yue would pay attention to him, when he saw the enemy general, it was as if he had seen something, the war horse charged, and he had already shot down!

The deputy general thought that it would be a greeting, but where did he think that Tang Yue would suddenly attack the killer, he was caught off guard at all, and was directly stabbed by this shot.

Until he died, his eyes were wide open, and he looked puzzled.
