On the twenty-fifth day of the ninth month of the first year of Xianchu, Chen Hongyi and Liu Jian met at the south gate of Yecheng, and set up a formation to attack the city. If the soldiers of Yecheng are willing to surrender to the old man, the old man will be pardoned."

There was a wicked laugh in the city: "Old horseman, Hu Jian is waiting for you underground, you better go to Huangquan Road to recruit rebellion."

Chen Hongyi was puzzled, and two heads were thrown down from the city, and Liang Jun recognized them as the heads of Hu Jian and Hou Dong. Chen Hongyi couldn't help sighing, drew his sword and pointed at the city: "Siege." The Liang army rained arrows and greeted the city, and the Qin army in the city also began to counterattack, and the stones and logs were also smashed down.

Chen Hongyi refused to make a loss-making transaction, and when he saw that the city was well prepared, he led his troops to retreat. Before retreating, he braved the rain of arrows and rolled wood and stones to pick up Hou Donghu Jian's head. Chen Hongyi took Liu Jian and other generals to find trees by the Zhanghe River, carved the bodies of the two to create coffins, and chose a high ground to bury the two.

Chen Hongyi and Liu Jian took off their helmets, poured wine to pay tribute to their former opponents, and the army also raised white sails to mourn Hou Dong and Hu Jian. He also used an ox cart to pull a large stone to engrave "the tomb of the late Qin Ai prince Hou Dong, the tomb of the late Qin general Hu Jian". When the defenders of Yecheng saw it in the city, they secretly wept to themselves, only Hou Tianjing laughed at Chen Hongyi, Liu Jian and others for being pedantic, and even sent a funeral monument for the enemy.

Chen Hongyi paid tribute to Hou Dong and Hu Jian on the one hand, and sent scouts to explore the reality around Yecheng. At this time, the people in Yecheng learned that the Liang army outside the city mourned Hou Dong and Hu Jian, and they rushed to the city to watch, Hou Tianjing couldn't stop, so he had to order to kill, and Yecheng was in chaos. There was a person riding a white horse and leading dozens of people to rush through the south gate and run to the Zhanghe River with a white flag.

Chen Hongyi's subordinates persuaded him to take advantage of the chaos to enter the city at this time, but Chen Hongyi continued to pay tribute to Hou Dong Hu Jian. The man on the white horse got closer and closer, and was stopped by Liang Jun, who threw away the spear in his hand and crawled towards the grave of Hou Dong and Hu Jian on his knees with dozens of people behind him.

Chen Hongyi nodded: "Yan Zhao Duoyishi, let them worship the old master, don't embarrass them, and let them stay after worshipping."

The person who rode the white horse before raised his head: "The villain Zhu Yaoshi has thanked the adult, if the adult does not dislike us, accept us, let us avenge the king and the general"

Chen Hongyi walked over to help Pharmacist Zhu up, but his subordinates took the lead in front of him: "Your Excellency, don't trust them, if they come to assassinate your adult, your subordinates will not be able to atone for their sins!" Chen Hongyi pushed everyone away: "How could Yecheng know that I would send a funeral monument to these two people, you can't know in advance, these people rushed out with injuries, and after being injured, they can still maintain respect and etiquette for the old master, pretending not to be"

Pharmacist Zhu and others cried one after another, Chen Hongyi wanted to help Pharmacist Zhu up, but Pharmacist Zhu waved his hand: "I will worship the king and the general before I salute you."

Chen Hongyi was not reluctant, and waited for these dozen people to worship Hou Dong and Hu Jian. Liu Jian sighed on the side that there are also many loyal people in this Qin State: "To recruit subordinates, you have to recruit people like Zhu Yaoshi, it is really rare to have such loyal subordinates."

After kneeling down to worship the two deceased masters, Pharmacist Zhu saluted Chen Hongyi and Liu Jian: "Pharmacist Zhu has seen the two adults, and I hope that the adults will give us the opportunity to avenge the deceased", and the guards next to him immediately told Pharmacist Zhu: "This is our Royal Highness King Han and General Chen, the hussar general."

Yao Shi Zhu was taken aback, and couldn't believe that the old man in front of him was Chen Hongyi: "This, how is it possible, didn't they say that General Chen was a god descended from heaven, with infinite strength and infinite strength, nine feet tall, and his arms were the thickness of a basin?" “

Chen Hongyi smiled slightly: "The old man is Chen Hongyi, and I don't know if it's the same as the one you said." The old man only knows that your general Hu Jian is the only opponent in my life, I have been fighting for decades, and your general Hu almost killed the old man."

When these words came out, Zhu Yaoshi and the Qin soldiers who escaped together were greatly moved, they didn't expect that the commander of the Liang army would give Hu Jian such a high evaluation. Liu Jian took a closer look at Pharmacist Zhu and found that there was a big red birthmark under Pharmacist Zhu's right ear, Pharmacist Zhu's face was square and big-eared, his nose was very high, and his figure was also very burly, so he couldn't help but say what he thought of: "There is the appearance of an emperor." As soon as the words came out, everyone couldn't help laughing, the Zhu Yaoshi in front of him was just a pawn who went out of the city and surrendered, and this King Han actually said that he had the appearance of an emperor. Pharmacist Zhu himself almost laughed: "His Royal Highness King Han said that he laughed, I have been called Porco Rosso since I was a child, and I was born as a pariah, His Royal Highness makes such a joke about the villain, the villain doesn't dare to stand it."

Liu Jian immediately laughed: "I just said casually according to the photo book, don't mind, let's still prepare to continue to attack the city."

As soon as Zhu Yaoshi heard about the siege, he immediately waved his hand: "His Royal Highness King Han doesn't know, Hou Tianjing treasoned and seized the throne, colluded with the Black Flag Khanate, and now the cavalry of the Fire Dragon Clan has gone south from Fanyang, looting everywhere, and is coming towards Yecheng, if we attack the city now, we will suffer the enemy on our backs."

Chen Hongyi touched his beard: "If this is the case, then it is not possible to attack the city for the time being, only by first solving the cavalry of the Fire Dragon Clan, can we concentrate our forces to take Yecheng." Last year, I fought with the Fire Dragon Cavalry, and their combat strength was on par with ours, but they often did not listen to orders and liked to plunder goods and people, so they were often ambushed by our army. However, they were scattered, and rarely gathered large armies together, and it was impossible to annihilate them in a battle, only to spend many days with them. But Yecheng, we also have to trap them so that they can't get out, so that we can have no worries."

Everyone was puzzled, Chen Hongyi pointed to the Zhanghe River, and everyone immediately understood, Chen Hongyi looked at Zhu Yaoshi: "The old man decided to lead the water of the Zhanghe River to irrigate Yecheng, what do you think, the people in this city are afraid that it will be difficult to escape the disaster."

Zhu Yaoshi pointed at Yecheng: "The people of Yecheng have already been killed by Hou Tianjing, and a group of them escaped out of the city before, and now there are not many people alive, in order to avenge the people and the king of heaven, lead the Zhang River to flood the city and take Yecheng as soon as possible, maybe some people can be rescued."

The rest of the people also echoed, Chen Hongyi closed his eyes, and it took a long time to order: "Divert water to irrigate the city!" ”

Hou Tianjing saw clearly at the head of the city, four teams of Liang troops dug ditches and dammed to divert water, and one team went back and forth to guard the edge of the city, Hou Tianjing knew that the field battle out of the city would definitely not be able to defeat the Liang army, and it was likely that the front foot out of the city and the back foot on the city would hang a white flag. Hou Tianjing had no choice but to send people to urge the Black Flag Khanate to rescue the troops, and the Great Khan of the Black Flag Khanate, Pajaqili, only cared about plundering goods and people along the road, and walked very slowly.

In five days, the Liang army built a two-zhang high embankment two miles outside the south gate of Yecheng and filled it with water, just waiting for Chen Hongyi's order. Chen Hongyi looked at Hou Tianjing, who was desperate at the head of the city, and shouted after seeing most of the Liang army go east: "Dig the embankment and flood the city!" ”

The water roared out of the breach, smashed open the south gate of Yecheng and rushed in, and Yecheng suddenly became a country. The gates of the city were opened, and many people fled with wooden basins, and some soldiers also fled out of the city lying on their shields. Hou Tianjing took a few cronies to hide in the Tongque Terrace, hoping for the army of the Black Flag Khanate to come to the rescue.
