"Ahh Ahh ”

When Zhou Shu, the old man of Shangshan, quietly gave a thumbs up to Cui Guang, another old fox of Shangshan, more than 270 miles away in Linzi City, Mr. Shusun, an important minister of the Han army who lived here as an envoy, suddenly sneezed twice, and then rubbed his nose and muttered strangely: "There is no wind and no cold, why did the old man sneeze?" Could it be like what our Han King said, sneezing for no reason, there is a shameless rat scheming old man behind his back? ”

Of course, Mr. Shusun quickly forgot about this trivial matter, because even if he lived in Linzi temporarily, Mr. Shusun's official affairs were still very busy, in addition to taking on the important task of presiding over the liaison between the Han army and the court of Qi, he also had to temporarily assume the position of the temporary intelligence director of the Han army in Qi State, and constantly collect all kinds of military and political information of Qi State, so that the Han army could basically grasp the actual situation of Qi State, so that in the future, like the Yan army, drive the Qi army to help the Han army launch the war to destroy Chu.

In addition, Mr. Shusun also has to care about the withdrawal of the Tianheng rebels from the Qi State, because the Tianheng rebels rebelled against the Qi State under the banner of the Han Army in Jiaodong, and they belong to the Han Army in reputation.

Fortunately, it should be because he understands that his thin arms can't twist his thick thighs, although he was used by the Han army first and then betrayed, Tian Heng still reluctantly chose to fulfill his promise, and on the third day after receiving Uncle Zhou's order, he led more than 16,000 rebels under his command to Jimo north, and then under the supervision of the Qi army, along the gallop left by Qin Shi Huang to the west into Linzi, the speed is still quite fast, and he can walk more than 80 miles a day.

During this period, the 20,000 Qi army led by Tian Wang, the general of Qi State, of course, have been following behind the back of Tian Heng's rebels, and what they are afraid of is that Tian Hengjun suddenly turned his face and made a move, killing the Qi army by surprise, but it was still okay, although the Qi army's suspicion and distrust of the Tian Heng rebels were overflowing, Tian Heng still gritted his teeth and swallowed this mouthful, not only tried to restrain the soldiers from harassing the people and harming the place, and tried to avoid conflicts and misunderstandings with the Qi army, but also once visited Tian Wang's army. drank and reminisced with Tian Wang, who was also the queen of the Qi royal family, and put on the appearance of absolute trust in Tian Wang and the Qi army.

Tian Heng is nominally Xiang Kang's courtier, and the Qi army that has surrendered to the Han army will of course not do anything to him unless he is crazy, so Tian Wang not only treated Tian Heng politely, but also believed in some of Tian Heng's sincerity in leaving, and also reported the situation to Linzi, Tian Jiao and Mr. Shusun also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and began to have great confidence in the smooth transfer of Tian Heng's rebels.

That's not all, when there was only more than a day away from Linzi, Tian Heng also sent his nephew, Tian Guang, the son of Tian Rong, the former Qi Xiang Tian Rong, to rush to Linzi with gifts, and to meet Tian Jiao, who was of the same generation as Tian Heng and Tian Rong, with tears in his eyes, he recounted his farewell to Tian Jiao, and begged Tian Jiao to forgive him and his uncle Tian Heng for the crime of rebellion. He also personally picked up the old boss's son Tian Guang and wept, and showed considerable sincerity to appease Tian Guang and Tian Heng behind him.

After the banquet was set up to entertain Tian Guang, because the Tian Heng rebels would arrive at Linzi City the next day, Tian Jiao also discussed with several Qi courtiers and Mr. Shusun how to welcome the Tian Heng rebels. His Majesty suggested that the king might as well go out of the city to greet Tian Heng in person, and set up a banquet outside the city for him, so as to show the king's affection for your fellow clansmen, and the king's respect for the king of Han. ”

"Never!" Qi Xiang Tian Ya immediately objected: "Tian Heng is coming with an army, and the king personally goes out of the city to greet him, if there is a sudden change, won't the king immediately fall into danger?" If you want to show the king's kindness to Tian Heng, send an important minister of the court to go out of the city to greet the king on behalf of the king, and it is enough to set up a banquet for Tian Heng, why should the king go out of the city in person? ”

"Is Sangkook worrying too much?" Tian Chang smiled and said: "The previous Tian Heng personally came to General Tian Wang's army, and now Tian Heng sent Tian Guang to Linzi first, and has already expressed enough sincerity for reconciliation. ”

After that, Tian Chang also turned to Mr. Shusun and said, "Mr. Shusun, Tian Heng is now a courtier of your Han Kingdom, what do you think?" ”

According to common sense, of course, Mr. Uncle Sun has to hope that Tian Jiao will personally go out of the city to greet Tian Heng, who is now a courtier of the Han army, not only to show the prestige of the Han army, but also to appease Tian Heng, who was betrayed by the Han army one after another, but Mr. Uncle Sun has an advantage that he likes to lose face, and after a little consideration, Mr. Uncle Sun still said to Tian Jiao: "King Qi, although Tian Heng is indeed sincere this time, King Qi, you should also give him a little face, and personally go out of the city to greet him." But Tian Xiangguo's words are right, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, Tian Heng came with an army this time after all, for the sake of prudence, it is better for the king not to go out of the city in person. ”

Tian Jiao was not very willing to see Tian Heng who dared to raise troops to rebel against him, and then heard what Mr. Uncle Sun said, Tian Jia immediately nodded and said: "Mr. Uncle Sun and Tian Ya Aiqing are reasonable, the widow is not untrustworthy Tian Heng, but the widow is the king of a country, and it is best not to get into danger lightly." In this way, tomorrow I will bother Xiangguo to go out of the city in person, and go to meet Tian Heng on behalf of the widow and make a meal for him. ”

Tian Ya, who was loyal to Tian Jiao, was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately sang a promise, while Tian Chang first quietly glanced at Mr. Uncle Sun, and then hurriedly complimented Tian Jiao's wise decision with a smile on his face, and no longer dared to persuade Tian Jiao to go out of the city to meet Tian Heng and his party in person.

Hurriedly prepared and arranged, the night passed quickly, and just after noon the next day, the news that Tian Heng's army was not far from Linzi was received, Qi Xiang Tian Ya hurriedly led some Qi officials and Mr. Shusun out of the city, and went to the gallop outside the city to meet the Tian Heng rebels. Then it didn't take long for the Tianheng rebels with the red Han army banner to arrive at the Yongshui ferry west of Linzi, and soon under the concession of the Qi army soldiers, they began to line up to cross the bridge and cross the Yongshui, and the 20,000 Qi troops who followed were temporarily lined up on the east bank of the Yongshui, preparing to wait for the Tianheng rebels who were walking in front to cross the river before continuing to march west.

It was only at this time that Mr. Shusun, who had already accumulated some military experience, discovered an important problem, and hurriedly came to Qi Xiangtian Ya, who led the team, and said, "Xiangguo, why didn't you think about the order of crossing the river in advance?" Linzi City is on the west bank of the Yongshui River, you should let your army cross the river first, right? ”

"Why?"

Tian Ya's strange rhetorical question made Mr. Uncle Sun stunned, and suddenly remembered that Tian Ya was born as a civilian official and had no experience in leading troops to fight, Mr. Uncle Sun woke up and said in a low voice: "Tian Xiangguo, it is too dangerous to let Tian Heng's army cross the river first, if he has any different intentions, he only needs to block the bridge after crossing the river, or directly destroy the bridge, and your army on the east bank of the Yongshui River will not be able to cross the river for the time being, and then you will have no way to restrain Tian Heng for a certain period of time." ”

I still have to be reminded by Mr. Uncle Sun, Tian Ya, who was born as a civil official, has just woken up, but it is useless to wake up, Tian Heng's rebels will have already begun to step on the bridge and cross the river, if Tian Heng is told to stop and let the Qi army behind cross the river first, no matter who it is, he will feel insulted, so Tian Ya has no choice but to reply in a low voice: "Thank you Mr. Uncle Sun for reminding us, we will learn this lesson in the future, but it doesn't matter much, there are army guards in Linzi City, even if there is any accident, We can also go back to town right away. ”

As soon as Mr. Shusun thought about it, he honestly closed his mouth and stopped instigating slander, and said in his heart: "It's okay, Tian Heng is not a fool, he must understand that even if he suddenly makes a move, he will definitely not be able to enter Linzi City, and if he delays a little, the Qi army will soon be able to cross the river in other places for reinforcements, and he will not do such a stupid thing." ”

After another period of time, Tian Heng's rebels successfully crossed the water and began to line up towards the south gate of Linzi, and Tian Guang, who accompanied Tian Ya out of the city, also hurriedly said to Tian Ya: "Tian Xiangguo, my uncle is here, I will go over and explain the situation to him first, and then lead him to meet you." ”

Tian Ya agreed without thinking about it, but Mr. Uncle Sun, who was good at details, came back to his senses when Tian Guang walked quickly towards Tian Heng, and said secretly: "Why does it seem a little wrong?" Tian Guang, this little vertical son, is it necessary to go and greet his uncle first? ”

Born of this worry, Mr. Shusun of course kept a good eye on the situation of the Tianheng rebels, and also saw from a distance that after Tian Guang walked back to the ranks of the Tianheng rebels, he quickly got into a car and delayed a little on it, and then the Tianheng rebels quickly stopped advancing, and then followed......

Immediately afterward, when he saw a group of Tian Heng rebels suddenly charging and rushing towards this side, Mr. Shusun, who was experienced in escaping, immediately understood that something was wrong, and hurriedly pulled Tian Ya and shouted: "Tian Xiangguo, go quickly!" Tian Heng Pifu rebelled! ”

Speaking, Mr. Uncle Sun also pulled Tian Ya to the south gate of Linzi to escape, Tian Ya still came back to his senses when the Tian Heng rebels who were charging forward shouted to kill, and quickly rushed to the south gate of Linzi with Mr. Uncle Sun, Tian Ya brought out of the city The civil and military officials of Qi State and the ceremonial guards were also immediately in chaos, and they also fled to the south gate of Linzi.

The fastest reaction, and the ability to escape and slip away is not at all under the battlefield life-saving master Liu Laosan, Mr. Shusun was of course the first to rush into the south gate of Linzi, and he couldn't wait to yell at the already chaotic city gate guards, asking them to close the city gate immediately, but Mr. Shusun forgot that he was not an official of Qi State, and of course the city gate guards did not listen to him. Fortunately, Tian Ya, who was dragged by Mr. Uncle Sun to flee for his life, also fled quickly, and Mr. Uncle Sun did not dare to hesitate, and hurriedly yelled at Tian Ya: "Tian Xiangguo, quickly let your people close the city gate, if we let Tian Heng's thieves rush into the city, we will be all finished." ”

Tian Ya thought about it, and hurriedly ordered the gate soldiers to close the door immediately, but just when the gate soldiers began to push the city gate to close, many Qi officials and etiquette guards who were still outside the city were already crying frantically, "Don't close it yet!" Don't turn it off! We're not in town yet! Don't shut it down, we're not in yet! ”

They are all their colleagues and soldiers of the Qi State, hearing these cries, Tian Ya, whose heart is far less vicious than that of Mr. Uncle Sun, of course hesitated, and subconsciously shouted: "Don't worry, let our people try to come in first!" ”

"Tian Xiangguo, are you crazy?" Mr. Shusun yelled angrily, "When is this happening, what do you care about them?" ”

Tian Ya woke up and immediately ordered the door to be closed immediately, but what even Mr. Shusun didn't expect was that a group of Qi State ceremonial guards who had rushed to the city gate suddenly showed their weapons and stabbed at the Linzi Gate soldiers who were closing the gate, and quickly cut down and killed these gate soldiers, and reopened the half-closed city gate, and the Tian Heng rebel soldiers behind were thunderous, charging with all their strength and quickly rushed across the moat!

"Traitor? How can it be? There are also people in Linzi City? ”

After the jaw-dropping roar, Mr. Shusun suddenly woke up, and immediately understood why Tian Chang, the great star of Qi State, instigated Tian Chang to go out of the city to greet Tian Heng in person yesterday - according to the system of Qi State, the etiquette team in Linzi City, the national capital, is in charge of Tian Chang, who is in charge of etiquette guests, and he wants to put some of his own people in it.

It was too late for Mr. Shusun to understand this, with the help of the traitors of the Qi army, the soldiers of the Tianheng rebels had already rushed into the south gate of Linzi with a shout, and with red eyes, they frantically slashed and killed the defenders of the south gate of Linzi, and the defenders on the city and the garrison in the city were too sudden because of the incident, and where did they have time to rush to reinforce and stop them? So Mr. Shusun had no choice but to flee for his life in Linzi City for the second time in less than a month, rushing back to the post house where he was temporarily staying to change his clothes and prepare to flee for his life.

At the same time, of course, the Tianheng rebels also divided their troops to block the Yongshui Bridge, cut off the road to cross the river on the east bank to reinforce the Linzi defenders, and successfully relied on the first-mover advantage of the sudden move, successfully killed the defenders of the Yongshui Bridge, and raced against time to destroy the bridge to prevent the Qi army from crossing the river. Tian Wang was so anxious that he shouted, but there was nothing he could do.

Things have come to this point, if Tian Jiao can be decisive, quickly take people to abandon the city and flee, then he must have the hope of making a comeback, but the luxurious life in Linzi City has seriously eroded Tian Jiao's will, corroded his courage and courage, when the great change came, Tian Jiao not only did not think that he should flee quickly, but instead ordered the guards of the Qi Palace to defend the palace, and ordered the garrison in the city to fully reinforce the palace to keep his palace pavilions and luxurious life.

Of course, the Tian Heng rebels firmly seized this opportunity, first poured out of the city under the leadership of Tian Heng and Tian Guang, and then smashed the palace of the Qi King they were extremely familiar with without saying a word, and kept yelling during the period, "Kill!" Enter the palace! Kill the Fake Puffer! Kill! ”

Relying on this determination to die without fear of death, Tian Heng's rebel army successively defeated several garrisons in Linzi City who rushed to rescue the palace one after another, and then used the beams and wood grabbed in the city to break open the palace gate, swarming into the palace with red eyes, and killing directly to the main hall of Qi Palace, and then it was at this time that Tian Jiao woke up like a dream and came back to his senses, remembering that he should give priority to escaping at this moment to save his life, and led a group of guards to flee into the harem in a panic.

Of course, it was too late to do so, there were many people in Tian Heng's army who were very familiar with the situation inside the Qi Palace, and asked his whereabouts from the captured eunuchs and palace maids, and it didn't take long to catch up with him, although his guards were still loyal to the queen of the palace, but they still couldn't stop the Tian Heng rebels who were outnumbered, and when several Tian Heng rebel soldiers chased after him, they first hooked him with Zhan Ge, and then swords and spears together, killing him in the harem on the spot.

"Tian is dead!"

Hearing this news, the desperate Tianheng rebels were of course cheering like thunder, and their morale was greatly boosted, and the morale of the Qi army soldiers who had lost their allegiance collapsed, and the soldiers fled one after another, and Mr. Shusun, who had changed into ordinary people's clothes, heard the news, and did not dare to hesitate at all, and hurriedly took advantage of the opportunity of the great chaos in Linzi City, and fled out of the city under the protection of his entourage, and did not dare to stay in the city to die.

On that day, the Tianheng rebels relied on the sudden sneak attack and the response of the traitors of the Qi State to complete a near-perfect beheading operation, not only successfully killed the Qi King Tian Jiao, who had abandoned Chu and surrendered to Han for less than a month, but also captured the Qi capital Linzi in one fell swoop, and the Qi army had 20,000 troops to follow and monitor the Tianheng rebels, but because of the obstruction of the water, the Tianheng rebels could not be prevented from completing this operation. And when Tian Wang and the Qi army finally crossed the Yongshui City from other ferries to rescue, not only the four gates of Linzi had already been mastered by the Tian Heng rebels, but the head of Tian Jiao had also been hung at the head of Linzi City.

Seeing that Tian Jiao was dead, the Qi army that finally rushed to Linzi City was in an uproar, although Tian Wang, who was angry about bullfighting, immediately ordered the army to attack the city, but because there was no siege weapon, he was easily killed and retreated by the Tian Heng rebels, and finally had to give up. As soon as Tian Heng saw Tian Wang's army retreating in the city, he immediately announced three orders, the first was to make his nephew Tian Guang the king of Qi, and the second was to spread the honor of the king of Qi to all parts of the Qi country, asking the soldiers and civilians of other Qi cities to submit to Tian Guang, the king of the new Qi, and at the same time sent people to contact Tian Wang, luring the high-ranking official Houlu, and then threatening the lives of Tian Wang's entire family in Linzi City, persuading Tian Wang to lead the army to surrender to Tian Guang.

Of course, Tian Heng's third order is needless to say, naturally asking the Western Chu army to send reinforcements to him as soon as possible to help him suppress the subjects who refuse to submit to the Qi State. In addition, Tian Heng also repeatedly told the envoy he sent to contact the Western Chu Army: "Remember, you must ask the Western Chu Army to send us reinforcements as soon as possible!" Otherwise, even if we take Linzi, we won't be able to stop the counterattack of the rest of Tian Jiao's puppetry, and Qi Guo doesn't know who will be cheaper in the end! ”
