Chapter 686: King Ning surrenders, and the Qin army enters Jiaocheng!
"Surrender!" Dong Li closed his eyes in pain and said the words that broke his own heart.
"The prince said to surrender, hurry up and put up a white flag!"
"Hurry up!"
The soldiers of the Yan army around Dong Li were overjoyed when they heard this, and they shouted happily, there was no pain of defeat at all, after all, they only fought for Dong Li for a bite of food, and they only used the relationship between master and employee to Dong Li, and had no loyalty.
Dong Li was weak and slumped to the ground, looking at the bright stars in the sky with a pair of red eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, but judging from his sad expression, his heart was dead.
There is no greater mourning than the death of the heart!
Outside the gates!
Zhao Hao, the general of Zhenbei, stood in the array of the Qin army, staring at the movement on the city tower with a pair of eyes without blinking, and after looking at it for a while, he turned his head to a lieutenant next to him and asked, "How many waves have you shot?" ”
The duwei who was questioned immediately bent down and replied: "General Hui, the crossbowmen have been shot empty, a total of fifteen waves!" ”
Zhao Hao couldn't help but fall into contemplation, and secretly thought: 20,000 crossbowmen shot fifteen waves of arrow rain, that is, 300,000 arrows, logically speaking, it should have shot the left, middle and right city towers of Qingkou Pass into hedgehogs, suffering such a huge attack, Dong Li will definitely not send heavy troops to encircle and suppress Zhao Cun and others, but will only send a battalion of troops to surround them, with Zhao Cun's martial arts, coupled with the chaos in the Yan army camp, they should escape from the Yan army camp and be in the safety stage.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hao shouted in a deep voice: "Order, the front army becomes the rear army, the rear army becomes the front army, withdraw..."
"Huh? White flag? ”
Just when Zhao Hao ordered to retreat, he suddenly saw a white flag erected in the city tower, and when he saw this white flag, Zhao Hao was dumbfounded.
Cast... Surrendered?
I'll go, no, I'm a feint!
Not only Zhao Hao was dumbfounded, but the ten black-clothed people on the top of the cliff and the eight black-clothed people who escaped from the Yan army camp were also dumbfounded, they knew tonight's plan, and they were not prepared to capture Qingkou at all, just to burn down the Yan army camp and disturb their military hearts.
Who would have thought that the Yan Army's psychological defense line would be so unsupportable, and it would not be able to withstand the surrender after a few waves of arrow rain.
At this moment, the gate of Qingkou, which had been closed, slowly opened, and then a large number of Yan troops poured out of the pass, and the Yan army who walked out of the pass threw away their weapons to show their determination to surrender.
Isn't this surprise coming a little too soon?
"The Qin army is mighty!" Zhao Hao couldn't help but raise his arms and shout!
"Mighty!! Mighty!! ”
The 50,000 Qin troops raised their weapons and shouted loudly to vent the excitement in their hearts.
It didn't take a single soldier to break Qingkou, it was really a perfect war, and now, there will be bragging capital in the future.
Feeling the high morale of the Qin army, the Yan army who walked out of the pass couldn't help kneeling on the ground, expressing his surrender to the Qin army.
Pride lasts forever!
An elegant middle-aged man in white walked out of the pass, holding a sword in his left hand and a golden seal in his right hand, and walked straight towards the Qin army array.
Zhao Hao walked out of the Qin army array and continued to walk forward, and the elegant middle-aged man in white never stopped, until Zhao Hao met the middle-aged man in white, the two sides stopped moving forward, and then saw the elegant middle-aged man in white kneeling down on his knees, holding the sword and gold seal in his hand with both hands.
Dong Li knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and said in a slightly crying voice: "Dong Li, King of Great Yanming, surrender to the Great Qin Town Beida General, I hope that the Great Qin Town Beida General can treat us well, don't be slaughtered!" ”
Zhao Hao jumped off the war horse, walked in front of Dong Li, and then took the sword in Dong Li's hand and the king seal made of pure gold with a solemn expression, the sword, representing the sword of power, the king seal, representing the incomparably noble title, the sword and the king seal were handed over together, which meant that Mingguang County completely belonged to the Great Qin Empire!
Zhao Hao raised Dong Li's saber in his left hand, and raised Dong Li's Wang Yin in his right hand, showing it to the soldiers of the Qin army and the soldiers of the Yan army who had surrendered.
"Great Qin is mighty! The Qin army is mighty! Banzai! Banzai! Hooray!! The 50,000 Qin army shouted loudly again, and a tsunami-like cheer erupted!
The momentum is monstrous!
"Enter!" Zhao Hao waved his hand and ordered the army to enter the customs!
"Enter!!
"Entry!!"
Under the burst of cheers, 50,000 Qin troops entered Qingkou Pass one after another, and after entering Qingkou Pass, Zhao Hao adopted the tactics of Yingchang's side to turn the pawn into his own use, and the conditions were the same as those issued by Yingchang's side, and the garrison was over, and each person received ten taels of silver as severance pay.
Under the temptation of ten taels of silver, the Yan army was willing to serve Great Qin and formed the Qin Yan Army to garrison the counties for Great Qin.
In this battle, the Qin army annihilated 10,000 enemies, suffered zero self-damage, captured 170,000, and the less 20,000 Yan troops took advantage of the chaos to run away, for these people, Zhao Hao didn't care, 20,000 people ran away, they couldn't set off the wind and waves, as for Yan Ming Wang Dong Li himself, Zhao Hao sent someone to take care of him, and then wrote to Yingchang, so that Yingchang made a break.
After solving everything, Zhao Hao felt a little dreamy, and felt a little fake, Qingkou Pass was actually won like this, it was too unreal, too simple, it felt like a child playing at home, put a fire, put a few waves of arrow rain, and it would be easy to win.
In this life, Zhao Hao may never be able to understand Yan Jun's despair at that time!
Five days in a flash, the twenty-fourth year of the Holy Qin, April 25, noon!
Jiaocheng, Zhao Mansion!
Jiaocheng Zhao Mansion is a famous place, all past officials passing by Jiaocheng, will personally go to Zhao Mansion to pay a visit, even if it is Ning Wang Ningde, who is the king of Jiaocheng, when he sees the Zhao family, he has to retreat three points, and he does not dare to provoke.
In addition to Jiaocheng Zhao Mansion, Jiaocheng Tian Mansion is also the same.
They can be respected by the world, not only because the two of them are one of the top ten families of Great Yan, but mainly because these two families are relatives of the emperor of the Great Qin Empire.
However, the four words of the emperor's relatives did not bring glory to the Zhao Tian family at the beginning, but brought endless shame, the world knows that the eldest son of the Zhao family has a marriage contract with the eldest lady of the Tian family since he was a child, but now the eldest lady of the Tian family was taken captive by Emperor Qin, and the eldest lady of the Zhao family was taken away together, what a shame and sorrow.
And at that time, the people of the world did not think that Zhao Mu and Tian Yue could have any creation, and they all thought that after Zhao Tian's second daughter entered the palace, she would be snubbed by Emperor Qin, after all, who is Emperor Qin, a unique king through the ages, what kind of woman do you want.
But what people didn't expect was that Zhao Mu and Tian Yue actually gave birth to a prince for the Great Qin royal family and were canonized as concubines.
At that time, the jokes of the Zhao Tian family turned into glory, and the children of the Zhao Tian family were also dragged into two hundred and five.
One person has ascended to heaven, although one is in Qin and the other is in Yan, but the two countries border, one country is strong and the other country is weak, the two families of Zhao Tian can naturally rely on the identity of the relatives of the Great Qin Emperor and walk sideways in the Great Yan Empire, it can be said that with this layer of identity, no minister in the imperial court dares to provoke!
And the Zhao Tian family also relied on this identity to quickly spread their family power throughout the Dayan Empire and became one of the top families in the Dayan Empire!
Zhao Mansion!
At this time, on the left and right sides of the gate of the Zhao Mansion, there were five black-armored soldiers with guns, and on the side of the road in front of the gate of the Zhao Mansion, there were hundreds of black-armored cavalrymen with guns.
In the large and small courtyards of the Zhao Mansion, there are also a large number of black-armored soldiers!
They are not the Yan army, but the Qin army!
Ning Wang Ningde also surrendered, the two sides did not fight, the Qin army came to the city, Ning Wang Ningde took his 100,000 elite army to Yingchang to surrender, so Yingchang took Jiaocheng without much effort, after taking Jiaocheng, Yingchang learned that Ning Wang Ningde was able to surrender, Zhao Zhongshan, the head of the Zhao family, and Tian Hai, the head of the Tian family, these two old men did not make a small contribution, and it was these two old fathers-in-law who were good at saying bad things to persuade Ning Wang Ning to surrender.
Knowing this, Ying Chang felt that it was necessary for him to visit the two old fathers-in-law, after all, the two of them were the grandfathers of his second son and third son, and they couldn't tell the truth if they didn't see each other, so after Ying Chang entered the city, he took Pei Ji and two hundred Praetorian Guards to Zhao Mansion!
Under the leadership of Zhao Zhongshan, the head of the Zhao family, Ying Chang and Pei Ji and a number of Praetorian Guards passed all the way through the front yard to the middle courtyard.
"Your Majesty, please!"
After coming to the inner hall of the middle courtyard, Zhao Zhongshan, who was in his fifties, stood respectfully at the door of the inner hall and asked Ying Chang to enter, Ying Chang smiled and nodded, crossed the threshold of the inner hall, and walked into the inner hall.
After Ying Chang took his seat, Pei Ji immediately stood beside Ying Chang, holding the hilt of the sword at his waist with his left hand, and looked at the surrounding situation solemnly, as if once there was a change, he would draw his sword and slash away.
"Why are you alone? What about the rest of the Zhao family? Ying Chang looked at Zhao Zhongshan in front of him with a puzzled expression and asked.
After coming in for so long, Zhao Zhongshan has always been leading the way alone, and he has not seen other people from the Zhao family.
"Back to Your Majesty, I'm ashamed, my Zhao family relies on the prestige of the Great Qin royal family, and the children are a little arrogant, and the grass people are worried that the children of the Zhao family have no intention of offending Your Majesty, for fear of making Your Majesty angry, so the grass people let the children of the Zhao family stay at home and are not allowed to go out, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!" Zhao Zhongshan bent down in fear and replied.
It stands to reason that Zhao Zhongshan is Yingchang's father-in-law and should call himself a minister, but because Yingchang did not officially canonize him as the country's father, he didn't dare to call himself the country's abbot at all.
"I see!" Ying Chang nodded indifferently, and then said in an unhurried tone: "It's okay, let those Zhao family disciples come out, let me see them, besides, you still don't call yourself a grass people, this is all an outsider's self-proclaimed name for me, you are not an outsider, but my father-in-law, the grandfather of the third prince Yinghui!" ”
"When Great Qin destroys Great Yan, I will immediately draft a decree and officially canonize the Zhao family as it should be!"
Zhao Zhongshan was so excited that he almost cried excitedly, this is so far, Yingchang officially recognized that he is the grandfather of the country, the grandfather of the third prince Yinghui, with this recognition, he can openly claim that he is the grandfather of the country.
Moreover, the descendants of the Zhao family will also be canonized, such as the title of the uncle of the country, the daughter who marries out, and can also get the title of Mrs. Edict.
This will be the supreme glory of the Zhao family!
"Minister, thank you for Your Majesty's Longen!" Zhao Zhongshan shouted with excitement in his bowing salute.
"Get up, go and summon the descendants of the Zhao family to come over, in addition, send someone to invite Tian Guozhang, let him also come with the descendants of the Tian family, I want to hold a meeting of the Zhao and Tian clans, I have something to inform you!" Ying Chang said calmly.
"Your Majesty!" Zhao Zhongshan respectfully responded, then got up from the ground, quickly left the inner hall, and went to do the things that Yingchang handed over to him.
After a period of time, Zhao Zhongshan took a group of well-dressed young masters and young ladies into the inner hall, these are the descendants of the Zhao family, there are quite a lot of people, there are thirty or forty, fortunately, the inner hall of the Zhao family is big enough, otherwise, it is still crowded.
"Your Majesty, these are the minister's five sons, eighteen grandsons, seventeen granddaughters, in addition to Concubine Ling, the minister also has three daughters, three sons-in-law, seven nephews, eight nieces, some of them are in the Yellow Mansion, some are in other places, not all in Jiaocheng, and the minister has already sent someone to invite the grandfather of Tian Guo, I believe that the grandfather of Tian Guo will soon come with the descendants of the Tian family!"
Zhao Zhongshan walked three steps in front of Ying Chang, and bent down with a respectful expression to make a salute report, after the salute, Zhao Zhongshan hurriedly scolded a descendant and said: "Don't hurry up to meet Your Majesty!" ”
"No need, it's all a family, no need to be polite!" Ying Chang hurriedly raised his hand to stop.
"Yes, yes!" Zhao Zhongshan smiled and nodded.
"Uncle Xie Huang!"
Just when everyone was standing stupidly, a seven or eight-year-old boy stood up in the crowd to say thank you, and for a while, everyone's eyes looked at the little boy, and Yingchang's eyes also looked at him, and he couldn't help but pay a little more attention to the boy.
"Uncle Huang? You are? ”
Yingchang looked at the boy with a gentle smile on his face and asked.
Seeing this, Zhao Zhongshan hurriedly introduced Yingchang: "Your Majesty, this is the son of the third son of the minister, and the sixteenth grandson of the minister, named Zhao Laizhi. ”
"Guozhang is serious, I just asked curiously, come to govern, right? Come, come to the emperor's uncle! Yingchang had a fatherly smile on his face and beckoned to Zhao Laizhi.
When Zhao Laizhi heard this, he subconsciously glanced at the middle-aged man standing behind him, this middle-aged man was Zhao Laizhi's father and Zhao Zhongshan's third son, named Zhao Wu.
"Go ahead!" Zhao Wu said softly with a smile on his face.
