The sky was gloomy and terrible, and the sky was still clear, but in an instant, the wind and clouds changed color, and lightning and thunder roared.

In Chenggao City, the blood was washed away by the heavy rain, and the corpses of Meng Wu and many Qin soldiers were soaked in the rain, looking so desolate.

The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man had no return date.

War is so cruel, even if you are brave and good at fighting, if you are defeated, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not die on the battlefield.

"Open the city gate and kill the Qin thief!"

The Qin army in the city has been solved, even if the 5,000 Qin army is an elite division, but unfortunately there are 30,000 Han troops in the city, and the 5,000 Qin army was quickly wiped out in the case of being unprepared for the attack.

Zhang Ping looked at Meng Wu, who was killed by random arrows, and thought of the oppression of Korea by the Qin State over the years, and suddenly felt that the sullenness that had been accumulated in his heart for many years had also dissipated a lot.

At this time, Li Muzheng led 150,000 Zhao troops to storm the Qin army camp, and more than 20,000 Qin troops struggled to support, and the camp was finally overcome.

When Zhang Ping led the Han army out of the city to join the Zhao army, the more than 20,000 Qin troops outside the city had almost been completely defeated.

"General, the Qin thieves have been destroyed, if it rains heavily today, it is better to let the soldiers enter the city to take shelter from the rain first!"

Zhang Ping walked to Li Mu's side, looking at this rising famous general of Zhao State, he didn't dare to put on a show at all, and invited Zhao Jun to enter Chenggao with a smile on his face.

Zhao Jun's treatment is much better than that of Qin Jun.

It must be known that before Meng Yi tried his best to send Meng Yi almost to break his mouth, and in the end, under coercion and temptation, Zhang Ping relented and let 5,000 Qin troops enter Chenggao.

But now, Li Mu still didn't make a request, and Zhang Ping couldn't wait to come to greet Zhao Jun into the city in person, this kind of differential treatment is not ironic.

In fact, Zhang Ping's move is reasonable.

Previously, Meng Fu relied on the food and grass of the Koreans, and was obviously in a weak position in terms of momentum, and the Qin State had suffered from Han for a long time, and the Koreans were strongly wary of the Qin people.

What's more, at that time, the Qin State was facing the Three Kingdoms Alliance, and the pressure was extremely huge, and South Korea, as an ally that the Qin State had to strive for, could naturally take advantage of the Mengfu.

However, now, South Korea's betrayal of Qin has completely offended Qin, and if it does not have a good relationship with Zhao as the center of the alliance, even if the allies do not attack Korea, after the war is over, South Korea will be unable to withstand the anger of Qin.

For the sake of today's plan, South Korea can only hug Zhao Guo's thigh and strive to cripple Qin State, so as to get rid of South Korea's worries.

That's why people have always hated traitors more than enemies.

It's only because the traitor knows that his former allies will hate him to the bone, so he wants to completely defeat his former allies, so that he can no longer remind him of his fear.

"Thank you Zhang Xiang for your understanding, but you only need to bring the injured soldiers into the city for medical treatment, although the rain is coming urgently, it is also going quickly, and it can just relieve the heat for the soldiers."

"Now that the war is tense, only by taking advantage of the fact that the main force of the Qin army has not arrived, can we annihilate the 100,000 Qin troops under the command of Meng Fu in order to hit the morale of the Qin army and weaken the national strength of the Qin State."

"I will lead the soldiers and horses to Xingyang, Xingyang was previously a Korean territory, and the officials, wealthy families, and people in the city are all Koreans.

Zhang Ping looked at the resolute Li Mu, and then thought about the procrastination of those military generals in South Korea, and suddenly felt envious.

Fortunately, Zhang Ping was not an unwise person, and he also knew that the sooner he annihilated the 100,000 Qin army under the command of Meng Fu, the sooner he could integrate the Four-Nation Alliance, and only then would he have enough time to prepare for a decisive battle with the main force of the Qin army.

"General, please rest assured, the prime minister has already laid many shadows in these two cities long before the Qin army entered Xingyang and Pinggao, as long as an order is given, the two cities can be broken overnight!"

Li Mu was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "That being the case, I also ask Zhang Xiang to send people to join forces with General Lian Po to capture Xingyang, I believe that with General Lian Po's ability to command the army, and there should be help in the city, it is not a problem to break the city." ”

"I will no longer rush to Xingyang, so I will lead 100,000 troops north to Pinggao to join Chunshenjun."

When Zhang Ping heard this, he asked with some doubts: "There are 150,000 Zhao troops under the general's command, if only 100,000 troops are commanded to go north to Pinggao, how should the other 50,000 be placed?" ”

Li Mu sighed: "Although the attack on the Qin army camp this time was a complete victory, the casualties of the soldiers were not few, and 50,000 of them were wounded, so it was inconvenient to fight the Qin army head-on, so it is better to leave them in Chenggao under the command of Sima Duwei and escort the grain and grass with the Han army." ”

Zhang Ping's face was a little stiff.

When Zhang Ping invited Li Mu into the city, the other party categorically refused, and Zhang Ping also felt that Li Mu was at ease in South Korea.

I never thought that Li Mu would come to such a show.

The 150,000 Zhao army attacked the Qin army camp garrisoned by only 20,000 people, and if it could suffer 50,000 casualties, Zhang Ping did not believe it in any way.

To put it bluntly, Li Muxin is still no match for South Korea, and he doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of the Meng, so he deliberately exaggerated the number of casualties of the Zhao people, leaving 50,000 people stationed in Chenggao, and the whole of Korea is equivalent to no defense for the Zhao State.

At that time, whether the coalition forces wanted to mobilize South Korean soldiers and horses or grain and grass, South Korea did not have the confidence to refuse.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Ping tried to squeeze out a smile on his face, and said: "In this case, then General Li Mu can leave with confidence, and the prime minister will take care of the 50,000 wounded soldiers of the Zhao State." ”

Li Mu turned his head to look at Zhang Ping, and his face suddenly became serious: "This battle is not only about the life and death of the Zhao State, but also for Han and Wei. ”

"In this battle, all countries should do their best to kill a Lang Lang Qiankun, and I hope that Zhang Xiang will persuade King Han a lot!"

After speaking, Li Mu bowed solemnly to Zhang Ping, then turned his head to look at the torrential rain that had gradually stopped, and shouted loudly: "Go north to Pinggao!" ”

Zhang Ping watched Li Mu leave, remembered the other party's words before leaving, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

As a small country, Han couldn't afford to suffer too many losses, so every time he attacked Qin with other countries, he was almost always in a state of soy sauce, and he didn't do his best at all.

Li Mu's words are not only persuasion, but also a secret warning.

"Sima Duwei, please follow me into the city!"

Zhang Ping, who came back to his senses, turned his head to look at Sima Shang, a confidant under Zhao Jia's command, and a smile appeared on his face again.

Pingao City.

Meng Fu stood on the city wall, looking at the Chu army who was making a defensive gesture outside the city, his face was cloudy.

"The Chu army is waiting for the food in my city to run out!"

Meng Wei quickly saw through General Chu's thoughts, and when he thought of the little grain and grass left in the city, his face became more and more sad.

If Meng Wu had already transported grain and grass to Pinggao before the coalition army arrived here, even in the face of the siege of 500,000 coalition troops, Meng Wu would have been confident that he would be able to receive reinforcements from the Qin State.

It's a pity that there is no food in the city, even if the Qin army is not afraid of death, it is impossible to hold Pingao.

The most important thing is that if Meng Fu can't defend the city, he can only lead his troops to break through, but unfortunately the Chu State has learned the lessons of the war in Shanyang, and the camps are built extremely firmly, and many scouts have been sent out.

After Pinggao was besieged, Meng Fu secretly sent out many scouts to find out the movements of Chenggao and Xingyang, but unfortunately most of the scouts sent out were besieged and killed by the scouts of Chu State, and few were able to escape by luck.

To this day, none of the scouts have returned to Pinggao with information from the rest of the cities.

"General, general, there are scouts who have returned alive!"

Just when Meng Fu was full of sadness and thinking about how to deal with it in the future, he suddenly heard the slightly frightened voice of the deputy general.

When Meng Fu heard this, he immediately had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"What about people?"

As soon as Meng Fu's words fell, he saw two Qin soldiers supporting a bloodied scout and walking towards him.

The scout had been hit by three arrows, and if it hadn't been for the fact that the arrows hadn't hit the vital point, he would have died a long time ago, and it is unknown whether the scout would have survived.

"The injury is so serious, why don't you take it for treatment first?"

Meng Fu loves soldiers like sons, which is why even if the other party is a Qi person, he is still supported by many Qin soldiers.

"General, run!"

In the next moment, when Meng Fu heard the scout's voice, the sense of foreboding became stronger and stronger, and his heart had sunk to the bottom.

"What happened?"

The scout said weakly: "The Han people betrayed the alliance, shot General Mengwu, and colluded with Li Mu to exterminate the Qin army under Chenggao City. ”

"After Li Mu broke through the Qin army under Chenggao City, he didn't do any more repairs at all, and directly led the troops towards Pinggao, if he didn't withdraw at this time, it would be too late!"

"Stomp!"

Meng Fu suddenly heard the news of Meng Wu's death, and suddenly felt that the world was spinning, his body staggered back two steps, and he almost fell to the ground without standing firmly.

Fortunately, the deputy general next to him was quick to see and move, so he helped Meng Wu and didn't let him fall.

"Whew!"

Meng Fu felt a little suffocated, opened his mouth and breathed in the air, and it slowly improved after a long time.

"Pass on my military order to quickly confiscate all the food of the people in the city, but if there are resistors, they will be killed!"

A Qin general led the order to go, but the deputy general said a little anxiously: "The Koreans have betrayed the alliance, and there is a shortage of food in the city, even if all the grain and grass of the people are robbed, I am afraid it will not last long!" ”

"Why don't we break through now!"

Meng Wei turned his head to stare at the deputy general, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Wen County has been occupied, South Korea has betrayed the alliance, and our army's retreat has been blocked. ”

"In this case, simply hold on to Pingao and wait for reinforcements to arrive!"

The adjutant general said with a bitter face: "However, the grain and grass can't support the arrival of reinforcements at all." ”

Meng Fu's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he beckoned to the deputy general Bu He to step forward, and explained a few words to him in his ear, and Bu He's face suddenly showed a look of horror.

"General, I'm afraid it will hurt the peace of heaven and earth by doing this!"

Bu He looked left and right, and said in a low voice.

Meng Fu's eyes were murderous, and he shouted: "The Koreans betrayed the alliance first, I'm afraid they have already colluded with the coalition army, and the people in the city don't know how many details are mixed, you can't do it, do you want the 50,000 Qin army to be starved to death in the city!" ”

Bu He's face changed, and then he clenched his fists and shouted: "The last general will definitely choose his henchmen and sweep away all the Koreans in the city!" ”

In Pinggao City, although it was tense but orderly, it was a pity that when groups of Qin troops began to rush into the homes of the people in the city, the order in the city was completely broken.

"Second and third sons, what are you doing!"

In Pinggao City, the Chen family head looked at the vicious Qin army who broke into the courtyard, and immediately strode up and scolded him.

"Han and Qin have formed an alliance, how can you rob our Han people of their food, grass and property!"

"Bang!"

Unexpectedly, the leader of the Qin General didn't talk nonsense to him at all, and directly kicked it away, and then shouted: "Take everything in the house, and if there is any resistance, kill them on the spot!" ”

"Ahem!"

The head of the Chen family was kicked to the ground, blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and he coughed continuously for a long time, only then did he feel a little more relieved, and immediately shouted: "How can you wait like this!" ”

"Boom!"

The next moment, that Qin general directly pulled out his sword and put it on the neck of the Chen family leader.

"South Korea betrayed the alliance and killed General Mengwu and tens of thousands of Qin troops, if you dare to say more, it will be for South Korea, and I will behead you!"

The head of the Chen family was shocked when he heard this, but he thought that once all the food in the family was robbed, the old and young in the family would be starved to death, so he simply mustered up the courage and said: "Qin is a big country, and it has the potential to swallow the world, and when the Qin army captures Pinggao, we will also be the people of Qin." ”

"The general is short of food, I will offer grain and grass, I just hope that the general can leave some surplus food for the family, so that the old and the young in the family will not starve!"

"Poof!"

However, as soon as the Chen family master's voice fell, he immediately turned his head in a different place, and the Qin general held the blood-stained sword, and said in a cold voice: "General Meng has an order to confiscate all the grain and grass in the city, and if there is any resistance, kill him!" ”

"Awen!"

"Father!"

"Master!"

The sudden killing of the head of the Chen family made the Chen clan feel incredible, even if it was a local Korean official, they treated the head of the family with great courtesy.

They never imagined that the Qin people would be so brutal and arrogant, and they would immediately swing their swords and kill people without saying a word.

Then, scolding and cries rang out.

Although they were afraid of the Qin army, they also knew that if they let the other party snatch all the food, the whole family would starve to death.

"Kill them all!"

It's a pity that General Qin has long been angry because of South Korea's betrayal of the alliance, coupled with the death pressure brought about by the siege of the coalition forces, he already feels extremely depressed in his heart, and at this time, seeing that someone dares to insult him, he directly ordered to kill.

"Kill!"

The Qin army was also full of anger, plus the beheading of the Qin people can calculate military merits, although these are just ordinary people, they were also killed for the crime of resisting the Qin army, and the soldiers of the Qin State can naturally get military merits, so the Qin soldiers are extremely crazy to kill people.

The huge Chen family's more than 200 people have been slaughtered in less than a cup of tea.

"General Bu has an order, now that the weather is hot, in order to avoid the plague, all the corpses must be disposed of uniformly!"

After slaughtering the Chen Mansion, Qin Jiang asked people to loot the grain, grass, and money in the mansion on the one hand, and sent people to transport all the corpses away.

It didn't take long for the Chen Mansion to become a mess, and the former Pinggao Haoyou was wiped out like this.

Even the Chen Mansion was demolished by the Qin army, and all the timber and stone were transported to the city wall as defensive materials.

The same thing happened in the entire Pinggao City, and in just half a day, the people of Pingao were almost slaughtered.

Most of the buildings in the city were also demolished!

The once prosperous Pinggao has been reduced to ruins, and the Koreans who survived have become coolies, helping to demolish houses and move materials to the city walls under the pressure of the Qin army.
