In Dou Ran's opinion, this little tun chief who was sent to discuss the surrender matter "heartily", seemed to be cowering, he stood in the middle of the camp in restraint, from time to time looked back at Chu Pawn who was staring at him with a blade behind him, smiled dryly, and then kept licking his lips, and his trembling hands didn't know where to put it.

If a thorn is in the back, what Dou Ran wants is this effect, how to force the Qin people to surrender without showing his authority?

"Let me ask you, how many Qin people are there in the city?" His first concern was the strength of the city.

Xiaotun Chang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied: "Dare to tell the general, there are six hundred people in the city......

"You're lying!"

Sun Feng slapped the case table on the side, and scolded violently: "Your every move is in the eyes of our army scouts, you still dare to falsely report the number of people?" ”

This sentence frightened Xiaotun Chang trembling, and hurriedly said: "The general is wronged!" The villain never dared to lie, we were Nanjun soldiers, under the command of Li Duwei. When Xiangcheng was defeated, he was separated from Li Duwei, and he could only be led south by five hundred lords, and some people were collected along the way, and five hundred people entered the city, plus one hundred people in the city, it was six hundred, yes, it must be the scouts who looked away......"

Sun Feng was slandering him, and Liao Ping, the general on the side, also actively assisted the two Chu feudal monarchs to ask: "What do you call the five hundred lords of your rank?" ”

Heifu looked at Liao Ping, listening to his accent, it was very similar to Li You, it should be someone near Shangcai, it is estimated that he was newly descended to the Qin State last year, and now there is no psychological barrier no matter how repeated it is. Heifu knew that although most of the soldiers brought by Li Xin were Guanzhong, there were also many people recruited by Shangcai as guides.

"The five hundred lords are called Cheng Wuwu, and he is also from Nanjun."

Heifu reported the name of his old boss, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead now anyway.

"I've never heard of this person."

Liao Ping frowned, but he didn't doubt it, after all, there were more than ten or two hundred people in the Qin army, and there were two or three hundred of the five hundred masters, if it weren't for the same captain, it was basically impossible to know each other.

None of the three asked anything wrong, and the conversation turned to surrender.

Heifu asked cautiously: "Lord Cheng Five Hundred asked me to ask clearly, if he descends to Chu, can he be given the original treatment to Tian Zhai?" ”

"Do you still want a farmhouse?"

Dou Ran and Sun Feng looked at each other, this Qin general is very good at making requests, Sun Feng said: "How many mansions does he want?" ”

"The title of the five hundred lords is an official doctor, so he wants 700 acres of land and a homestead land 200 steps square. The five hundred lords said that if the general of Chu State felt that there was too much land, it would be okay to give it according to the mu system of Chu State, so that he could be a rich man who collected land rent in Chu State......"

Dou Ran just wanted to laugh, the Qin general inside was really a greedy and afraid of death, when was it, his mind was full of the treatment of the field after surrender, so he nodded happily and said, "Okay, I agree to this." ”

"The five hundred lords have also spoken."

Heifu pretended to smile embarrassedly: "It's not okay to promise verbally, he hopes that the general can make a contract so that he can prove it in the future......"

"Hey, he's thoughtful."

In this way, Dou Ran and Sun Feng did not doubt his sincerity in surrendering to the non-existent "Five Hundred Lords" in the city, so they simply asked people to bring bamboo slips, wrote a piece of Jane and handed it to the head of Xiaotun, so that he could take it back and restore his life.

At this time, it was the turn of the people of Chu to make a request.

Dou Ran said: "Heart, you go back and tell Lord Cheng 500 that he will take everyone to throw the blades from the city before the three poles of the sun, and then take off the armor, line up in turn, and go out of the city to surrender, otherwise ......"

"I led the army to attack the city, and you and others are all powder!"

Dou Ran straightened his face, and as soon as he slapped the case, the row of Chu soldiers behind Heifu immediately raised their weapons and shouted in unison!

Heifu cooperated very well with weak legs, and hurriedly responded, but secretly said in his heart that it was not good, it seems that Chu Jiang's vigilance is still very high, so that their sneak attack is a little more difficult.

The matter of surrender was almost discussed, but just as Heifu was about to turn around and leave, he hesitated, turned around and bowed again: "The words of the five hundred lords have been relayed by the villain, but the villain still wants to ask the generals, if our ordinary soldiers and soldiers surrender, how should they be settled?" ”

This question made the three of them stunned, and Dou Ran sneered in his heart: "What else, send it to the land of Wuyue to boil salt, or take it to Huainan, distribute it to the feudal lords as spoils, and make field slaves and mine slaves for them, and die of fatigue, that's it." ”

Of course, he couldn't say this, and Sun Feng, who had a kind face, said with a smile: "Heart, you go back and tell the soldiers of the Qin army that the state of Chu is not as good as the Qin army, there is no bad habit of killing prisoners, you and others will be properly settled, the country of Chu is vast and has few people, and some of them are fields to settle you and others, as long as you are dedicated to Chu, you can be the people of Chu." ”

Anyway, the state of Chu has no worries about destruction, and the feudal monarchs don't want their clan soldiers to be lost any longer, so they want to trick the Qin people into surrendering first, disarm them, and then say, if they can, they won't fight. The state of Chu is not as good as the state of Qin, and they have no actual reward for cutting off the heads of the Qin army.

"In this way, I am relieved."

Chief Heifu breathed a sigh of relief and said happily: "Don't hide it from the general, in fact, we are from Nanjun, and we were also Chu people three generations ago, and only later did we have to obey the Qin State and serve and fight for it. But in fact, Nanjun is still called Xichu! We also consider ourselves Chu people. ”

Nanjun and Huaibei, Pei, Pengcheng, Chen, Cai and other places, although these places belong to the two countries, but in terms of culture and customs, they are still classified as "Western Chu", with similar customs and common language, and there are indeed many similarities. Eastern Chu with the East China Sea and Wu Yue; The Southern Chu of Yuzhang and Changsha are even more different.

Heifu took the opportunity to scold Qin Guolai: "Qin officials collect half of the Tai endowment in Nanjun, the men's hard work is not enough for food, and the women's spinning is not enough for clothes." Even if you forget it, the most unbearable thing is that there are too many forced laborers, and the criminal law is strict, and you will be sentenced to a heavy sentence if you take a mulberry leaf and pick up a penny on the road! There are countless people who cut off their feet at every turn and become prisoners and concubines! ”

After complaining for a long time, he said indignantly: "Our soldiers in Nanjun have been suffering for a long time, and now they have the opportunity to be a Chu person, and they can be treated fairly, I don't know how happy we should be!" ”

"Makes sense."

These words touched the general Liao Ping, and he also joined in, talking about the brutal rule of the Qin State over Shang Cai in the past year, and he also suffered from Qin for a long time before surrendering to the Chu State, and was willing to be a Chu man again.

In short, as soon as the two sang and harmonized, they denounced the politics of the Qin State as useless, as if they would casually go to Shangcai and Nanjun and raise their arms, and the locals would kill the Qin officials and descend to Chu.

Sun Feng looked at the faces of these two people, knowing that they were trying to make a good impression on the Chu people, and they were desperately trying to please them, smiling on their faces, but they were very disdainful in their hearts.

Dou Ran looked like he was listening to a joke, and after the two of them scolded him fiercely, he asked Heifu: "Which county are you from in Nanjun?" ”

"The villain is from Anlu County."

"Anlu County? In the past, it was not called Yunyi, but it was the hometown of my Ruo Ao clan! When Dou Ran heard this, he became even more interested.

"The general is after Ruo Ao?"

Heifu pretended to be surprised, and bowed to Dou Ran again: "The villain often hears the old man in his hometown say that when the Ruo Ao clan was still there, it was ten times better than under the rule of the Qin State!" If the Qin State did not forcibly seize Anlu, the villain should be born as a subject of the general. It's still too late now, and when we descend to Chu, I hope the general can take me in! The villain is willing to be a retainer for the general for generations. ”

"Hahaha, that's a good word, I promise you."

His shameless gesture of admitting the Lord amused Dou Ran, and after casually agreeing, he asked Heifu another question.

"If the Ao clan is in Anlu County, and there are old ministers and old acquaintances, they told me that the year before last, if the Ao clan's tomb was stolen by a group of tomb robbers, do you know about it?"

It was two years ago, what happened when Heifu was just the head of Huyang Pavilion, and when he thought back at this time, it was like a lifetime, and everyone expected it to come to Chudi.

He was in a complicated mood for a while, but he said, "How can you not know? It was a big case that caused a sensation in the whole county, and when the tomb robbers were executed, the villain went to watch, which was really happy. ”

Dou Ran said again: "It is said that this case was cracked by a small pavilion chief, but the name of the pavilion chief was not mentioned in the letter, what is his name?" ”

Heifu's palms were sweaty, and he almost wondered if he was exposed, and he almost broke out to hold Dou Ran hostage, but there were still a few heavily armed Chu soldiers behind him with spears and halberds, and he was sure to die unarmed.

He managed to stop himself from panicking, pretended it was another person, and said calmly, "His name is Heifu." ”

"Hef, what a strange name."

Dou Ran muttered the name, and then asked, "Do you know Heifu?" Was he drafted into the army this time? ”

Heifu smiled casually: "The villain is from the northern suburbs of Anlu County, and he is in a different township from Heifu, and he only knows his name, but he doesn't know his person, and I don't know if he is in the army." Anyway, there is no such person among the people who came to Liyang together...... Even if he really came to Chu State, he might have died in Xiangcheng. ”

"It's a shame."

Dou Ran was stunned all of a sudden, sighed and said: "I hope he is still alive, although the little pavilion chief is a Qin official, but he didn't let the thieves destroy my ancestor's coffin, if the Ao clan owes him a favor." ”

"If he comes to the state of Chu and is willing to belong to me, I can give him seven hundred acres of land in return, just like I promised the five hundred lords!"
