In fact, Xiang Kang, the top scumbag of this era, like Qi Min, also had a feeling of amazement when he saw Qi Min at first sight, and Xiang Kang couldn't have imagined that Qi Gill's daughter would be so delicate and moving, and her appearance could definitely be compared with her favorite sister-in-law Yu Jiao, and her temperament was more well-behaved and gentle.

You must know that when Qi Gill offered to let Xiang Kang deliberately snatch his daughter in order to help Xiang Kang win the trust of the enemy, Xiang Kang also said that Qi Gill wanted to take advantage of himself further, and wanted to seduce himself with his vulgar daughter, and then turned into his own father-in-law, and at the same time, considering the impact of this on the military discipline of the young marshal's army, he refused to agree, and finally Chen Ping and Uncle Zhou persuaded him, thinking that only by doing this could he help Qi Gill gain the trust of the Qin army, so Xiang Kang reluctantly made it difficult. reluctantly agreed to this thing, which had to sacrifice his hue and reputation.

Fortunately, the scumbag is a scumbag, Xiang Kang still knows how to restrain his desires, no matter how surprised he is by Qi Min's moving appearance, he does not reveal the slightest bit of pig brotherhood, no matter how itchy his heart is, he did not take the opportunity of Qi Min to temporarily live in the camp of the army, and think of any way to forcibly make raw rice into mature rice, concentrate on just arranging a plan to lure the enemy, and focus on the war in Wancheng, just like a hen crows and a rooster lays eggs, for the first time, he did not think about any dirty thoughts on Qi Min.

Everyone knows that when Uncle Zhou's niece Bo Zhanzhi temporarily lived in the young marshal's army, she was not less taken advantage of by Xiang Kang's oil, and Qi Minyang, who was obviously better looking, was able to keep her innocence, and it was not easy to imagine how difficult things were.

It's not bad, Xiang Kang didn't sacrifice his opportunity to hook up with a flirtatious beauty in vain, after successfully tricking the Qin army out of the night battle outside the city, relying on the full preparation before the battle, as well as the battlefield experience and combat effectiveness that were obviously ahead of the enemy, as well as the firm determination to grasp the fighter, the young marshal army finally succeeded in inflicting heavy losses on the Qin army in Nanyang, killing most of the more than 10,000 Qin troops who ventured out of the city, capturing more than 1,000 people, and most of the remaining Qin troops were forced to flee in other directions, and only less than 2,000 Qin soldiers escaped back to Wancheng, which greatly weakened the Qin army's defensive strength, which also greatly reduces the difficulty of siege.

Xiang Kang also really attaches great importance to his reputation for hypocrisy, and on the morning of the second day after the night battle, he counted the results of the battle and the losses of his own army, and the first order Xiang Kang issued was to make the truth about his robbery of the people's daughters public, and clearly demanded that every young marshal and soldier know that his robbery of the people's daughters was fake, and that it was the friendly army that joined forces to lure the enemy was true, and repeatedly emphasized military discipline, and continued to strictly prohibit the young marshal sergeants from raping, prostituting, plundering, and infringing on the people. At the same time, in order to punish himself for hurting the reputation of the young marshal's army, Xiang Kang also ignored everyone's opposition, forced the military justice team to put himself out of the tent, and beat 20 military sticks in front of everyone, so as to strictly discipline and deter the three armies.

Although when Xiang Kang's military stick was beaten, the young marshal's soldiers and soldiers who executed him showed mercy in secret and did not take this opportunity to beat Xiang Kang to death, but after the 20th military stick was beaten, Xiang Kang's buttocks were still red and swollen, and his head was sweating with pain, but Xiang Kang still refused the kind persuasion of the young marshal's army and the military forces, and did not immediately return to the sleeping tent to recuperate and rest, except for sending someone to escort Qi Min back to the Qi army camp, and insisted on returning to the Chinese army's big tent to continue to deal with official business.

Forcibly pretending to be forced has never ended well, and he gritted his teeth and returned to the big tent of the Chinese army just sat down, and Xiang Kang, who had just been hit with a big stick on his buttocks, was so painful that his face was blue and white, Zhou Zeng and Chen Ping saw that something was wrong, and they were busy and persuaded Xiang Kang to return to the tent immediately to treat his injuries and rest, Xiang Kang really couldn't hold on, so he could only let his own soldiers carry himself and limp back to his sleeping tent to rest. But there was an accident, and after leaving the tent, he didn't go far to the back camp, and Xiang Kang happened to meet Qi Min who was leading the maid to go home.

happened to encounter the inevitable avoidance, Xiang Kang could only force a smile and nod and smile at Qi Min, but Qi Min had already seen Xiang Kang's limping appearance, regardless of the large number of outsiders next to him, he greeted him directly, and asked with concern on his face: "General, are you injured?" Is it serious? ”

"A little injury, it's not in the way, just rest for a while." Xiang Kang smiled reluctantly, and said: "Girl, go back quickly, if you are injured, you can't send you in person, and please don't mind the girl." ”

Before the words were finished, another sharp pain came from his buttocks, which made Xiang Kang grin his teeth and sweat gushing on his forehead, Qi Min saw that he was both concerned and sympathetic in his heart, and he didn't know that a wave of courage came out of there, so he took out his handkerchief and stepped forward to wipe the sweat on Xiang Kang's forehead with his own hands. As a result, the young marshal and soldiers next to him and Qi Min's maid were of course wide-eyed, and Xiang Kang, who vaguely felt that this scene was quite familiar, was also completely stunned, and he didn't understand why Qi Min would make such an ambiguous action in public.

Reminded by Xiang Kang's sluggish expression, Qi Min, who had forgotten for a while, suddenly came back to his senses, and suddenly understood what he was doing, Qi Min was so ashamed that he covered his face with his hands, and fled quickly into the distance, leaving Xiang Kang in a daze in the same place, and only came back to his senses after a while, and said secretly: "No, I've only met a few times, is this little girl interested in me?" ”

This discovery also made Xiang Kang can't help but think about Qi Min, and at the same time that there are dirty thoughts in his mind, the pain in his buttocks has also been greatly reduced, but unfortunately even if he has a slight injury, Xiang Kang is still very busy, and he didn't have much time to rest after returning to the bed, and the young marshal Jun Wenwu, who hurriedly dealt with the post-war affairs, came over to test the wounds, and the uncle and grandson, who were extremely loyal to each master, also crawled beside Xiang Kang's couch and cried, desperately pausing his head......

"Right General, Right General, you did not hesitate to sacrifice your noble reputation in order to reduce the siege casualties of our soldiers! Why are you still so desperate to be demanding of yourself, you have to beat your own military stick, and the military stick hitting you is equivalent to hitting the hearts of our Chu army soldiers directly! General Right, your gentlemanly demeanor really makes us subordinates shameless! God, please be merciful and transfer the injuries of the right general to me, our civil and military officials, generals and soldiers of the Chu State, we can't do without the right general all the time! ”

"Okay, it's okay, Mr. Uncle Sun, I appreciate your kindness, but there's no need for this." couldn't resist Uncle Sun Tong's sycophancy, Xiang Kang could only quickly wave his hand and said: "I also have to do this, it is I who have repeatedly demanded strict military discipline, although this incident has a reason, but if I don't give an explanation to the officers and soldiers of the whole army, our soldiers will definitely not be really convinced, this is also a lesson for myself, reminding me not to be too unscrupulous in doing things in the future." ”

Uncle Sun Tong pouted when he heard this, and he was about to cry again, Xiang Kang was also afraid of him, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Mr. Uncle Sun, our army won a big victory last night, and the possibility of the Tyrannical Qin army wanting to hold Wancheng is already smaller, I don't know if you have the courage to enter Wancheng again and persuade the Tyrannical Qin County to defend Lu Qi to surrender for me?" ”

"This ......." Mr. Shusun hesitated a little and hesitated for a moment before cautiously asking: "May I ask General You, on the battlefield last night, did our army capture or kill Qiu An, the commander of Nanyang County, who was tyrannical Qin?" And the thief named Ma Daxiao? ”

"Ma Daxiao was killed by our soldiers, but Qiu An is missing, so he must have fled back to the city." Xiang Kang replied truthfully.

Mr. Shusun's face was full of embarrassment, and he said hesitantly: "General Right, it's not that the subordinate is unwilling to serve you, it's that the tyrannical Qin lieutenant named Qiu An is really stubborn, and he is simply stubborn, and he is quite influential in the tyrannical Qin army in Nanyang, and the subordinate is worried that not only will he not be able to persuade him to surrender, but it may backfire, and delay the surrender of General You." ”

After Mr. Uncle Sun finished speaking and expressed his attitude of not daring to take risks to persuade him to surrender, Li Shiqi said: "General Right, let the old man go, the old man is willing to take the risk of entering the city and persuade the violent Qin army to open the city and surrender for you." ”

Uncle Sun Tong had basically figured out the attitude of Nanyang County Shou Lu Qi for Xiang Kang last time, Xiang Kang of course no longer had to worry about Li Shiqi's safety, and quickly nodded and agreed to Li Shiqi's volunteering, and asked Chen Ping to ghostwrite a letter of persuasion to Lu Qi for himself, and asked Li Shiqi to take it and immediately go into the city to persuade Lu Qi to surrender.

After Li Shiqi took the order to leave, the young marshal army Wenwu reported some military affairs to Xiang Kang, and then quickly resigned to let Xiang Kang rest in peace, but as soon as Chen Ping left, there were pro-soldiers outside the tent to report, saying that Zhang Liang came to visit Xiang Kang's injury alone, for the sake of Zhang Liang's famous name, Xiang Kang also ignored the fact that his buttocks were hurting badly, and immediately ordered to summon him.

The soldiers had just said that they were invited in front of the tent, and Zhang Liang, who was dressed in deep clothes, quickly came to Xiang Kang, and said quite sincerely while saluting: "General Right, the foreign minister really admires you so much, for the sake of military discipline, you can lead by example so much, no wonder the soldiers and horses of General Right can be so strict in military discipline and strict orders, and the foreign minister is convinced." ”

"Uncle has won the award, please take a seat." Xiang Kang groaned, and said with a wry smile: "The little nephew must also lead by example, otherwise, if my subordinates violate military discipline, they will also use the excuse that there is a reason, what other order can I take to prohibit and restrain the three armies?" ”

"I'm afraid it's more than that, right?" Zhang Liang muttered in his heart, and said secretly: "You deliberately pretended to rob the people's daughters in order to lure the enemy out of the city for a decisive battle and reduce your casualties and losses in the siege battle. Not only strictly enforces military discipline, but also buys the hearts of the military, the idea of killing two birds with one stone is really wonderful. ”

Muttering and muttering, of course Zhang Liang would not directly say the disdain for Xiang Kang in his heart, but just pretended to be concerned and asked about Xiang Kang's injury, and persuaded Xiang Kang to rest and recuperate from his injuries, Zhang Liang then got to the point and said to Xiang Kang: "General Right, the foreign minister has another suggestion, after your army defeated the violent Qin army last night, the violent Qin army may have been able to hold Wancheng even smaller, so why don't you take the opportunity to send an envoy into the city and persuade Nanyang County to defend Lu Qi to surrender again?" ”

"Uncle Gao Jian, coincides with the little nephew." Xiang Kang grinned and said, "Don't hide it from my uncle, just now the little nephew has sent Mr. Li Shiqi Li as an envoy to bring my letter into the city to recruit him, if it goes well, maybe there will be an echo in the evening." ”

"Worry about nothing, how can you forget that with this kid's treacherous character, how could you miss such a good opportunity to surrender?" Zhang Liang complained to himself in his conscience, and then Zhang Liang hesitated for a moment, and then said: "General Right, then the foreign minister takes the liberty of asking again, after taking Wancheng, General Right, do you plan to stay in the army and garrison and gradually occupy the whole county of Nanyang?" Or continue to concentrate forces and drive directly to Wuguan? ”

"Directly to Wuguan?" Xiang Kang glanced at Zhang Liang with some suspicion, and asked tentatively: "I don't know who told my uncle that the little nephew intends to enter the military customs?" ”

"General Right, don't get me wrong, the matter of your preparation to enter the military pass is not told by anyone, but guessed by the minister himself." Zhang Liang shook his head and explained: "Although the foreign minister is not good at military affairs, but he also has a little understanding of strategy, this time the right general led the army south, saying that it was to open up a second battlefield in Yingchuan Nanyang, and share the pressure for the main force of Chu in the Central Plains battlefield, but the right general, after you took the important land of Yexian, you abandoned it and did not defend it, and concentrated your forces to go south. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Liang paused, and said with a smile: "Otherwise, how could you be willing to give up the important land of Yexian County, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, General You?" As long as you leave an army to hold Yexian, General You, you don't have to worry about the threat from the north, and easily capture the whole county of Nanyang, but General You, you just didn't do this, doesn't this clearly show that General You're not aiming at Nanyang, but in order to enter the Guanzhong and establish a hard-won effort to destroy the tyrannical Qin? ”

Xiang Kang was silent, and only after a while did he mutter in his heart, "Zhang Liang is Zhang Liang after all, although he is not good tactically, he really deserves his reputation in terms of strategy." ”

After muttering, Xiang Kang didn't bother to deliberately pretend to be stupid, and said directly: "Don't hide it from my uncle, after the little nephew took Wancheng, he wanted to take all the money and food in the city, and went directly to the military and martial arts along the Chi Road, I don't know what my uncle thinks?" ”

"The minister thinks that this must not be the case." Zhang Liang was no longer polite to Xiang Kang, and said directly: "The foreign minister thinks that General You, you must not risk entering the pass now, otherwise you may fall into danger." ”

"Please ask my uncle for advice, and the little nephew will listen to you." Xiang Kang cheered up and said.

"There are two reasons, the first is that the time is not yet ripe." Zhang Liang replied: "Now the princes are still fighting with the main force of the Tyranny Qin in the Central Plains, although they have the upper hand, the Tyrannical Qin army still has the strength to fight, whether it can turn the tables, it is still unknown, if the main force of the Tyranny Qin wins, immediately divide the troops back to help Guanzhong, the right general You want to take Guanzhong alone, it is bound to be difficult to climb to the sky." Even if the right general, your brother and former general Xiang Yu are invincible, and it is impossible for them to lose to the tyrannical Qin army, it is also possible that the tyrannical Qin court will take the initiative to give up the land outside the pass when Guanzhong is in an emergency, and recruit Zhang Han and Wang Li to return to Guanzhong, so that the right general will be defeated, and even fall into the danger of being attacked by the enemy before and after. ”

Xiang Kang pondered and nodded, he couldn't deny that there would be such a possibility, Zhang Liang said again: "The second is to directly enter the Guanzhong, which is really a bit dangerous, although the road from Wancheng to Xianyang is passable, but there are many mountains and mountains along the way, there are many dangers and difficulties, and it is difficult to enter the army, once you can't quickly break through the dangerous pass of the tyrannical Qin army, the remnants of the Nanyang tyrannical Qin army will be killed from behind you after regrouping, or the tyrannical Qin army from the south of the Central Plains will follow and kill, the right general, you will be attacked before and after, you can't advance, you can't retreat, isn't it dangerous?" ”

Still not daring to rule out this possibility, Xiang Kang could only nod again, and then asked, "Uncle, in your opinion, what should the little nephew do?" ”

"Based on Nanyang, it is not too late to establish a temporary rear, and then enter the pass."

Zhang Liang replied solemnly, and said: "The foreign minister suggests that after taking Wancheng, General Right should immediately canonize Nanyang County Guard, rebuild the order of Nanyang, try to appease other counties in Nanyang to surrender on their own initiative, and resolutely send troops to attack those who refuse to surrender, and uproot all the remnants of the Tyrannical Qin Court in Nanyang, and at the same time divide troops to hold the important land of Yexian County, and do not give the Tyranny Qin army a chance to calmly enter the hinterland of Nanyang, and turn Nanyang into a temporary rear in your military pass." ”

"In this way, the right general can not only take the opportunity to listen to the battle situation in the Central Plains, grasp the opportunity to enter the army, but also can enter the army without worry, even if the army is blocked in the pass, the grain and grass are exhausted, the right general You can also calmly return to Nanyang to regroup, without worrying that there is no way out, and the army is in danger of annihilation."

Xiang Kang is not very bad in terms of strategy, after listening carefully to Zhang Liang's statement, only a little bit of thinking, Xiang Kang regardless of the fact that his buttocks are still in severe pain, struggling to stay and salute Zhang Liang to thank him, Zhang Liang hurriedly stopped, smiled and said: "General Right does not have to be polite, the foreign minister is also selfish in offering this strategy, with your army sitting in Nanyang, we Korea will recover the old land, of course, it will be much easier." And even if the battle is unfavorable, our South Korean army has a way to retreat, and there is help to ask for, right? ”

"Uncle is honest in what he said." Xiang Kang laughed, patted Zhang Liang's hand again, and said more frankly: "When I was in Huaisi before, if my uncle could also say this kind of heart-wrenching words to my little nephew, why did my little nephew treat my uncle so slowly? ”

Zhang Liang smiled bitterly and replied: "General Right, if the foreign minister was so open and honest to you at that time, how could your third uncle tolerate me?" ”

The heartfelt words poured out by each of them made the gap between Xiang Kang and Zhang Liang less, but Zhang Liang's words inadvertently pitted Qi Gill who had made great contributions in the Battle of Wancheng this time, after Zhang Liang left, Qi Gill who received the news also came to visit Xiang Kang's injury, pretending to ask for warmth, and wanted to take this opportunity to cheat some more money and food from Xiang Kang, so that he could continue to be the emperor of Nanyang. However, Xiang Kang was already determined to establish Nanyang as his temporary rear, although he promised that he would never treat the soldiers of Qi Gill Commandery, and said directly: "Captain Qi, in addition to the money and food thanks, I also plan to officially canonize you as the general of the Chu State, I hope you will not shirk." ”

"Canonized as the general of the Chu State?" Qi Gill was a little dumbfounded, and hurriedly asked: "General Right, if you are named the general of the Chu State, will you continue to be in charge of the army alone in the future?" Or will they accept your co-optation and obey your commands? ”

"Of course, it is to accept my incorporation and obey my command." Xiang Kang said very directly, and said: "Captain Qi, what is the situation of your army, you must also know very well, although there are a lot of people, but the soldiers are uneven, there are men, women and children in the army, if such an army is not streamlined and reorganized, even if it becomes an army alone, it will definitely not be of great use, so if you are willing to join our Chu army, your army must be reorganized." ”

"Of course, if you don't want to do it, I will never force you to agree." Xiang Kang said again: "You have helped me a lot this time, after taking Wancheng, I will definitely come up with enough money and food to thank you, and you can also want to go there and there." But I have to tell you clearly, after our Chu army takes Wancheng, we will also take all the cities and lands in Nanyang County, and I hope you will think about where your army will go when the time comes. ”

"General Right, do you still want to occupy the land city of Quannanyang?" Qi Gill was even more dumbfounded, and blurted out: "But Nanyang is the land of Qin?" ”

"Nanyang is the land of the Chu State, but it has only been forcibly occupied by the violent Qin for decades." Xiang Kang replied: "Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the people of Nanyang think that they are Qin people, Nanyang is the land of Qin, whoever destroys the tyrannical Qin in the future, who becomes the new king of Qin, Nanyang is also his land, and no one will tolerate Nanyang County having a country within a country, an army that refuses to submit." ”

Qi Gill was completely speechless, Xiang Kang sighed, and said: "Qi Duwei, I know that being a soil emperor is very majestic, but if a soil emperor does not have a land and a city to gain a foothold, and he has to be driven by people every day, it is really better to be honest and comfortable as a courtier." You have no foundation, and your strength is too weak, even if I can tolerate you temporarily, the new master of Nanyang County will not tolerate you in the future, you must think carefully about this. ”

Qi Gill sat silent, his expression was obviously a little depressed, but Xiang Kang did not sympathize with him, and he had already made up his mind to drive him away after thanking him. As a result, at this time, a personal soldier suddenly rushed in outside the tent, and hugged his fist to Xiang Kang with a happy face: "General Qiqi, great joy!" Mr. Li is back, and he also brought back the head of Qiu An, the lieutenant of Nanyang County of Tyranny Qin, and Wancheng has also opened all four gates, and he has put down the banner of the Tyrannical Qin, so he should be ready to surrender to us. ”

"Good thing." When Xiang Kang heard the great joy, he hurriedly ordered: "Quick, take me to the big tent of the Chinese army." ”

The left and right soldiers agreed, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Xiang Kang get up, but Xiang Kang muttered again, "Sure enough, I surrendered, who should be used as the guard of Nanyang County?" ”

The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, although Xiang Kang muttered this sentence in a loud voice, Qi Gill sitting in the tent could hear it clearly, and then Qi Gill immediately lit up his eyes, and said in his heart: "What a chance, Xiang Kang Xiao'er himself will definitely not be the Nanyang County Guard, his right-hand man will go out with him to fight, and he will definitely not be appointed as the Nanyang County Guard, if I work hard and seize the opportunity to become the Nanyang County Guard, even if the army is absorbed by Xiang Kang Xiao'er, what is the pity?" ”
