The third day of the Qin State deadline.

In the city of Yiqu.

"Rhinoceros, Fang Cai Li Ji sent someone to urge the widow to send troops south as soon as possible, and the widow has sent a messenger and promised to send troops as soon as possible. It's just that seeing that the deadline is approaching, the defeated troops gathered outside the city are less than 40,000 troops, how can it be good? ”

Gongsun Yan arched his hand and asked, "King, I don't know how many horses have been collected now?" ”

King Yiqu frowned: "Rhino head, time is too rushed, even if my Yiqu country has a lot of pastures and horses, I have only collected less than six thousand horses near the capital in three days." ”

Gongsun Yan nodded, and said calmly: "The king, more than 5,000 horses are almost there, and now the king is preparing hundreds of herdsmen who are good at raising horses. ”

"There are still two days left in the deadline with the Qin State, and then I ask the king to continue to deal with the Zhuli Disease, and try to drag the Liangli Disease in the Yiqu Country as much as possible."

King Yiqu nodded solemnly.

In the afternoon, the barracks outside the city.

King Yiqu and Gongsun Yan gathered their soldiers and said:

"Heaven does not bless the righteous canal, so that the country is in trouble, in order to tide over this difficulty, the widow is willing to encourage all the kings."

"Now, the soldiers over forty years old and under the age of eighteen immediately retreat."

With the order of the King of Yiqu, soon, thousands of soldiers withdrew one after another.

Then, King Yiqu continued: "Now, those who have only children in the family will retreat, and those who have many brothers in the barracks will leave one of them, and the rest will retreat. ”

This time there were more people, and after a while, King Yiqu selected the strong ones in their early 20,000s from nearly 40,000 people.

Then, King Yiqu led these troops to set up another military camp.

After registering the situation in the home.

King Yiqu announced to the soldiers: "This expedition must only succeed and not fail. Therefore, the widow will make a rule of reward and punishment, not only to punish but also to reward heavily! ”

"All of you have registered the information of your families, and if you return in defeat, your whole family will be reduced to slavery and all your property will be confiscated. If they return victorious, all the surviving warriors in the tribe will be promoted to the rank of small chief, in the villages, all will be promoted to the rank of princes in the townships, and those in the city will all go to the government to do their jobs, and those who have used their lives in the army will become captains, and all the soldiers above the rank of captains will be promoted by one level. ”

"Even if you die in battle, as long as you return from the victory, then the reward that the widow says can still be transferred to the family, and those who have sons in the family pass on the firstborn sons, and those who have no sons and fathers are transferred to the old fathers, and those who have no fathers and no children are transferred to their brothers."

"If someone flees halfway, even if the battle is won, then the person who flees back will still be punished as defeat..."

"And if one of the soldiers of the army fled, he killed the whole army, and one of them fled, and the whole of them fled, and one of them fled, and one of them fled, and one of them fled, and one of them fled, and they killed two hundred and five masters. If someone reports that someone has fled, not only will they not die, but all the property of the reported person will belong to the whistleblower! ”

When this news came out, there was an uproar, which made the soldiers frightened and frightened, and the people who planned to escape, or those who planned to escape, suddenly all looked at the people around them vigilantly...

King Yiqu said: "You are all the most elite warriors of my Yiqu country, and now the widow will hand over the important task of my Yiqu's life and death to you, so naturally I will not let you die in vain, let alone let the fighters chill." ”

"The reward and punishment of the widow are clear, and when the punishment is heavy, it will also be rewarded."

"Whoever goes to war shall be given a hundred pieces of silver, and five stones of grain. Those who farm at home will be rewarded with 20 acres of private land per person, and they will not have to pay taxes for three years. If the family is grazing, each person will be rewarded with 10 male and female sheep, and no tax will be paid for three years. ”

And not only that, but if it is a meritorious service, the widow will also be rewarded heavily, and the reward will be doubled according to the original reward. Moreover, all the proceeds of the expedition belonged to the army, and the widows did not take anything from it. ”

The words of King Yiqu reached the ears of the soldiers in the camp, and there was a lot of discussion at once.

In the past, when everyone went to war, they always talked about merit after the war, and when did they not have a pre-war reward.

And the reward is so great.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that the previous heavy penalty is nothing.

Moreover, there are not many people on this expedition, and half of them have just been driven to the back, according to this situation, it should not be sent to death.

As long as you win, it is not a loss.

Thinking about it, some people who coveted the reward shouted: "I am willing to die for the king······"

At first, there were only a few scattered, then quickly affected the others, and finally, most of them roared.

Seeing this, Gongsun Yan said with satisfaction: "King, now the military spirit is basically available, so that the Qin army will not collapse as soon as it sees it." ”

King Yiqu shook his head and said: "Rhino head, although there are brave men under the heavy reward, but the widow is still a little worried, once this group of people does not go well, I am afraid that they will flee and become thieves..."

After thinking about it, he continued: "Since the widow was defeated by the Qin State a few years ago, he planned to take revenge on the shame, and carefully trained an army for this purpose, most of which were disabled in the previous two battles, and the people who fled back were also lost, but the widow also left 3,000 people in the capital just in case, and there were 10,000 troops in the capital that did not fight with the Qin army before, all of them were strong, plus the guards in the widow's palace, a total of 15,000 people were gathered, and the widow was also handed over to you." ”

Gongsun Yan saw that King Yiqu had taken out all his family wealth and gambled with him, and he was immediately moved: "The king can rest assured, the minister will definitely be able to meet the Qi and Zhao coalition forces to cross the river this time." ”

"Okay, then please!"

At the third watch of the night, Gongsun Yan led the army out of the camp, and then, converging the army that came out of the city, a total of less than 40,000 troops, all the way to the east.

······

Xunyi.

The time went to the fifth day, which was the deadline for the Yiqu State to send troops.

However, Yiqu Guo did not move for a long time, and he couldn't help but hesitate.

The sun is in the west.

"Report to the general, scouts report, the army outside Yiqu City still has no movement."

"Hmmm! Got it. ”

Zhu Li frowned, at this time, the news from Yiqu City, the Yiqu army still has not moved, so not only tonight, I am afraid that the army of Yiqu Country will not be able to catch up with Xunyi tomorrow.

This only shows one thing, that is, he was tricked by King Yiqu.

Thinking about it, Zhu Li Ji ordered: "Pass the order, rest for a day today, and attack the city early tomorrow morning." ”

"In addition, send a message to Xunyi City, just say that the king of Yiqu has betrayed his word and has abandoned them, let Xunyi Shou surrender. As long as he goes out of the city and surrenders, Ben will guarantee that he will enter Qin as an official, otherwise, Ben will break through Xunyi and destroy the Yiqu State, and he will definitely kill him. ”

"It's the general!"

In the city of Xunyi, as the messenger of the Yili disease spread the news of the treachery of the king of Yiqu, and after Xunyi had been abandoned by the king of Yiqu, there was an uproar in the city.

The morale of the army and the people immediately plummeted.

As the news of Xunyishou's refusal to surrender reached the ears of the people, the whole city was suddenly terrified.

Next.

The Qin army launched a strong attack on the city of Xunyi, and in less than half a day, the confidence of the soldiers in the city was lost, and more than half of the elite were lost, the defenders of Xunyi fled north, and the city was broken.

Then, he did not stop and immediately waved his army north.
