Chapter 44: Surrender without a Fight

"There are no soldiers in Daliang City? Is this true? When the adjutant general heard this, he hurriedly asked. You can see the staggering extent of this news. In addition, others were also looking forward to it, hoping that Wei Cheng, the general of Chaoge, would be able to explain it clearly.

"This will be the Wei royal clan, how can you not know the reality of Daliang City? I'm not afraid of everyone's jokes, Ben General originally planned to abandon the city and flee after the Qin army broke the city. I don't want the city to be surrounded by the Qin army, and now everyone is a grasshopper tied to a rope, how about living and dying together? "Wei Cheng, the general of Chaoge, pointed out the key to the problem and shattered everyone's hope of defending the city.

"In this way, Chaoge must not be able to hold it." The adjutant who advocated stubborn defense sat on the ground in discouragement, his eyes without a trace of color.

"Think about it, big guy, how can you be sloppy when it comes to life and death?" Wei Cheng, the general of Chaoge, continued to tempt, and the rest of the generals who advocated surrender also spoke persuasively.

In this way, many generals from local backgrounds are not shouting to defend to the death, knowing that they will lose, who will send them to death?

At noon on the third day of the Qin soldiers coming to the Song City, a white flag was erected at the head of the Song City: The whole city surrendered. As the capital, Chaoge Castle surrendered without a fight, and the other cities in Hanoi County saw that the situation was not good, and most of the cities also surrendered to the Qin State. The state of Qin did not spend a single sword or shot to capture most of the granary of Hanoi County, the granary of the Wei state.

The Qin State went down to the Hanoi town of the Wei State without a fight, causing a butterfly effect. The power of a butterfly's wings may seem insignificant, but the power produced is unimaginable, and the final result is equally unexpected.

As the old saying goes: "The wind rises at the end of the green pings", which is a typical butterfly effect. Looking back at thousands of years of Chinese history, many major events were ignited by small people, creating a chain reaction that caused the big bang of history, and sometimes even changed the direction of history. For example, because two girls snatched mulberry leaves, the Great War of the Eight Kingdoms - the Beiliang Provocation. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu and Chu were hostile to each other, and friction continued, especially on the border between the two countries, and there were frequent conflicts between the officials and people of the two sides, and they became feuds. The climate in the Wuchu region is suitable, warm and rainy, and the two countries have a tradition of cultivating mulberry and silkworms. In 519 B.C., two girls from Beiliang of Wu and Zhongli of Chu were working in mulberry picking. The two fell in love with a mulberry tree at the same time, and the two sides had a disagreement over the ownership of the mulberry tree, and they did not give in to each other, and soon developed from a verbal quarrel to a scuffle. At this time, Chu Nu's family heard the news and rushed to help, and the evenly matched fight became a one-sided fight. Wu Nu, who had a blue nose and swollen face, returned to Beiliang, and the pear blossom cried to the villagers with rain about the misfortune, and the villagers of Wu saw that Wu Nu was bullied, so they picked up the guy and asked Chu Min to settle accounts. Zhongli's Chu Min had long been unpleasant to Wu Min. They summoned people from other places to come to their aid, and fought with Wu Min, who had come to take revenge. The people of Chu were outnumbered, and Wu Minli was invincible, with hundreds of dead and wounded. Only half of Wu Min fled back to Beiliang.

Wu Min complained to the governor of Beiliang about the atrocities of the Chu State. When the commander heard this, he was furious and sent troops to besiege Zhongli. King Chuping had no chance to clean up the state of Wu, and when he heard that the state of Wu had sent troops to attack Zhongli, he immediately ordered the Chu army to attack Wu. Wu Wangfang did not eat dry food, and sent Gongziguang to lead the army to reinforce Beiliang, and the Wu army was like a bamboo, capturing Zhongli and Juchao. What was a simple civil dispute escalated into a fierce military campaign. In order to recover this important land, the state of Chu led the allied forces of Chu, Dun, Hu, Shen, Cai, Chen, and Xu to the rescue. As a result, the state of Chu did not recover this important land as expected, and was still in the chaotic war, and was hit hard by the state of Wu. Subsequently, the rise of the state of Wu, the north violently attacked the Chu state and other Central Plains countries, and the south defeated the Yue state and dominated for a while. Of course, there are also successive events such as Wu Yue's struggle, lying on the salary and tasting courage, and Gou Jian's destruction of Wu. Throughout the late Spring and Autumn period, wars also became frequent, and the major overlords took turns to sit in the bank. Later generations used the "provocation of Beiliang" as an allusion, which was used as a metaphor for disputes and bloodshed caused by trivial matters.

At this moment, because of the surrender of Chao Ge without a fight, it also caused a big shock in the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, which is really an eventful autumn.

The capital of Wei is the main beam, the palace hall.

"The widow has succeeded to the throne for several years, lost countless teachers and lost countless land, and now there are only two counties left in the country, how to face the ancestors and ancestors after death?" When Wei Zeng, the new king of Wei, heard the news that the Qin army had captured Hanoi County, he was shocked and wept bitterly.

"The king, people's hearts are fluctuating, how can you blame the king. It's hateful that Wei Cheng was born in a clan, and he didn't even think of sacrificing himself to serve the country, but instead tempted the defenders to surrender without a fight, this person is not enough to kill the people! Longyang Jun Su Xiu persuaded.

"Is it true that there are no reinforcements sent in Daliang City to help Chaoge? Why are rumors spreading in the Song City? The new Wei king, Wei Zeng, did not immediately agree to severely punish Wei Cheng, but asked rhetorically.

"There are only 50,000 soldiers in Daliang City, and most of them are tired troops who have returned from Yucheng, and they lack food and equipment, how can they save Chaoge? I thought that Chaoge would hold on, and then send someone to ask the five countries to send troops to rescue Chaoge. Longyang Jun Su Xiu hurriedly explained, for fear that the new Wei King Wei Zeng would doubt his ability.

"Are the other five countries willing to send troops to help my Wei State retreat from the enemy?" Wei Zeng, the new King of Wei, continued to ask.

"The five countries have all excused themselves, and if Wei wants to be safe, we can only rely on ourselves." Longyang Jun Su Xiu replied with a sigh.

"In this way, even if Wei Cheng insists, it is inevitable that Chaoge will be lost. The situation in Chaoge City, the widow has also heard about it, there is a shortage of food and soldiers, how can a group of militia resist the army of tigers and wolves? Although the new Wei King Wei Zeng was weak, he was not stupid, and he quickly understood the ins and outs of the matter.

"Having said that, if the Qin army comes and everyone surrenders, the Wei State will be in danger!" Longyang Jun Su Xiu said bitterly.

"If the five countries don't save when they see death, the sky will kill my Great Wei, what can I do?" The new Wei king, Wei Wei, was grieved and continued to cry.

"Great King, Weichen has a plan to delay the offensive of the Qin army?" Long Yangjun also blamed himself when he saw this, and suddenly came up with a plan that surprised even himself.

"What is Aiqing's plan?" The new King of Wei, Wei Zeng, grabbed the last straw like a drowning man, stopped crying, and asked eagerly.

"The five countries are not benevolent, and my Wei State does not have to be benevolent and righteous, and now there are a few lonely small cities left in Hanoi County, it is better to give them all to the Qin State, please them, and express their willingness to withdraw from the joint alliance army forever." Longyang Jun Su Xiu gritted his teeth and said this strategy of drinking to quench his thirst, but he didn't know how long he could alleviate the crisis.

"This ...... A few small cities are nothing, but forever withdraw from the coalition army? Isn't this the practice of drinking water to quench thirst? The country of tigers and wolves of the Qin State, how could they let me go of the Wei State because of this? Wei Zeng, the new king of Wei, pondered for a while and asked puzzledly.

"The Qin State went out to attack the Wei State just to deter the six eastern countries, in fact, they were also exhausted, and they spent countless money, food, and materials, so they wished that they could have one less enemy at this moment, so that they could concentrate on accumulating strength to destroy the one with the greatest threat. Relatively speaking, the Wei State was as powerful as before, and it was no longer able to threaten the Qin State. Longyang Jun Su Xiu explained.

"Among the six kingdoms, who poses the greatest threat to the Qin state?" Wei Zeng, the new king of Wei, asked unclearly.

"Of course it's Zhao Guo. Although Zhao State suffered a fiasco in Changping, Zhao sent 150,000 troops to attack Qin's 500,000 coalition troops this time, accounting for one-third, and they were basically elite. It can be seen that Zhao Guo is really a hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff! The State of Qin must be even more jealous of the State of Zhao, which occupies the road to the east, and will definitely get rid of it as soon as possible! On the other hand, our Wei State, South Korea, and Yan State are now poor and weak, and Qi State has been watching the fire from the other side, as for the continuous turmoil in Chu and the lack of good generals and elite soldiers, there is no need to worry. Long Yang Jun Su Xiu continued to explain.

"But when the Qin State destroys the Zhao State, the Three Jin Dynasty will all perish! Even if time is delayed for my Wei State, how long can it be delayed? Wei Zeng, the new King of Wei, finally understood the thoughts of Longyang Jun Su Xiu.

"Great King, the interests of the Wei State are paramount, and the Zhao State is unwilling to send troops to rescue the Wei State, so why should we care about the life and death of the Zhao State? Even if it is to destroy the country, it must be the destruction of the Zhao State first! Longyang Jun Su Xiu pointed out the true purpose of this strategy.

"The interests of the Wei State come first? Yes, the widow is the monarch of the Wei State, and all decisions should be considered in this way! Wei Zeng, the new king of Wei, finally figured it out, and at the same time sighed helplessly, "Although the three Jin Dynasty have cold lips and cold teeth, for the sake of Wei, they can only sacrifice Zhao first." ”

Wei was shocked by the Qin army, and immediately negotiated peace with Qin separately and withdrew from the coalition army.

After Han and Yan heard about it, they did not wait for the reply of Zhao and Chu, and immediately sent a peace mission, which naturally included some tribute of gold, silver, jewelry and beauties.

The country of Qin suddenly jubilated, and the morale of the Qin army also soared.

The Qin army is in the middle of the camp, and the commander is in the tent.

"The king and LΓΌ Buwei both agreed to negotiate peace with Wei, Han, and Yan, and at the same time ordered us to pioneer the Chu State, and then turn around and go north to attack the Zhao State." The commander of the Central Route Army, the old general Meng Fu, was talking secretly with Mrs. Dong and others at the moment.

"The Qin State is really a great blessing, two months ago it was still fighting hard with the Five Kingdoms, and now it can force the three kingdoms of Wei, Han, and Yan to bow their heads. It's just that the loss of Chu State this time is not big, and I'm afraid it is not easy to bow down. "Mrs. Dong, the master of the Tianji Pavilion, put forward her own opinions.

"I don't see it that way, the Wei State of Korea has surrendered, so naturally I don't dare to let the Zhao army go south to save Chu, and the Yan State has always coveted the territory of the Zhao State, as long as our Qin State is willing to form an alliance with the Yan State, the Zhao State will be even more in a hurry. As for the State of Qi has been standing by and watching, only the State of Chu is left to support it, I guess that the State of Chu will definitely avoid the soldiers of the State of Qin! Meng Yi also joined in and expressed his opinion.

"You don't need to rush to a conclusion, we are about to join the army of the South Road, and we will naturally know the choice of the Chu State at that time." Now the situation is very good, and the old general Meng Fu is also smiling.

As soon as he came out of the big tent, Meng Yi thought to himself: This time when he entered the Chu State, would he be able to get some news of the Dragon Slaying King?

Who knows, the heroine Dong Rou has been waiting for a long time, and grabbed Meng Yi.

"How? My Tianji Pavilion is amazing, I didn't let you take down the entire Hanoi County with a single knife and a shot! The heroine Dong Rou crossed her hands on her hips, looking like a hero.

"Yes...... Tianji Pavilion is amazing! The heroine has far-reaching insight! "Meng Yi is a good man who doesn't fight with women, so he can only try his best to please.

"In that case, shouldn't your Qin State be rewarded according to your merits?" The heroine Dong Rou asked with a smile.
