There is a very famous battle in history called the Battle of Kunyang.

In the first battle of Kunyang, Liu Xiu defeated Wang Mang's army of 400,000 with 20,000 troops, which is a very famous example in history of winning more battles with less.

20,000 against more than 400,000, this is a seemingly impossible task.

However, in the battle of Kunyang, first the meteor flew into the enemy camp, the war was full of wind and tiles, heavy rain was like a note, in a very short period of time, there were many extremely bad weather, with the help of celestial phenomena, Liu Xiu won the battle of Kunyang that was almost impossible to succeed in the situation at that time.

Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, was also nicknamed "the son of the plane" and "the great magister" by later generations.

Although Zhao Yi did not summon meteorites to help him like Emperor Guangwu, the news of his invitation to the Sea Dragon King had spread to several countries.

Li Yi didn't believe much in the son of any plane in his heart, and his luck was added, but it was undeniable that Zhao Yi's luck was indeed extremely good.

Ruyi sat beside him and said softly: "Xianggong......"

Li Yi retracted his gaze, shook his head, and said, "It's okay, we're done eating, we'll rest for one night, and in less than ten days, we will be able to reach the Imperial Capital of the Martial Kingdom." ”

Qi Guo was able to defeat Zhao Guo, which was within his expectations, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

Their trip was almost all the way, pointing directly at the Imperial City of Zhao.

Although this can capture Zhao in a very short time, the problem exposed is even greater, after occupying Zhao, they need to spend great effort to suppress the rebel forces of Zhao, which takes a long, long time------ this is not Zhao Yi's style of doing things.

A trace of doubt appeared on Li Yi's face, Zhao Yi, what are you anxious about?

……

Zhao Guo, Liyang.

The original capital has become the capital of the dead country today.

More than a month ago, the city of Liyang was broken, including the monarch of Zhao and his concubines, the royal family of Zhao and the courtiers of the palace were all captured.

Inside the palace, the courtiers were gathered together again.

"Your Majesty hanged himself yesterday."

A middle-aged scribe stood in front of the hall and said with an indifferent face: "Good birds choose trees to perch, Lord Taifu, Zhao Guo is dead, why are you stubborn?" ”

"Hahaha......" Opposite him, a white-haired old man looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, "Loyal ministers don't care about the two masters, Zhao Guo is dead, Your Majesty is martyred, and the old man and Zhao Guo are dying with Your Majesty!" ”

He turned around, looked at the crowd behind him, and shouted, "Who is going with the old man!" ”

A middle-aged official stood up and laughed, "Xia Guan is willing to go with Lord Taifu!" ”

A young official walked out quickly and said loudly: "I wish to die with my husband!" ”

"Since the kingdom is dead, the ministers deserve to die!"

"The minister of the dead country has no shame to live!"

"Go together, go together!"

……

In an instant, more than a dozen figures stood up.

"Colleagues, the old man is one step ahead!" The white-haired old man laughed twice, stomped his foot violently, and slammed his head against the pillar in the temple, and died of exhaustion.

"Master Taifu's legs and feet are inconvenient, and the lower official is also one step ahead, and on Huangquan Road, his old man also has a crutch ......"

An officer smiled, and suddenly drew the long knife of one of the guards, and killed himself by the neck.

"A five-grade petty official, he dares to be a crutch for the master with this official!" One of them snorted coldly, picked up the long knife that had fallen to the ground, put it on his neck, and slammed it away......

"Your Majesty, the minister is here with you!"

……

In the main hall, more than 30 corpses soon piled up.

It was the guards around him, their faces showing horror, and they couldn't help but stay away from the corpses.

The middle-aged scribe watched them die one by one, and the expression on his face was always calm.

When the last man shouted "Die with the country" and plunged the long knife into his heart, the crowd was as silent as death, some people showed indignation, some people showed shame, but in the end, no one came out again.

"Ahem! Cough! ”

A few light coughs came from outside the hall, and a figure slowly walked in from outside the hall.

The middle-aged scribe hurriedly stepped forward and said worriedly, "Your Majesty ......"

Zhao Yi waved his hand, refused his support, looked at the corpses in the hall, looked at it for a long time, and then said, "It's all buried thickly." ”

The middle-aged scribe nodded, bowed and said, "Obey." ”

A person walked in from outside the hall and whispered, "Your Highness, the envoy of Jingguo has arrived." ”

Zhao Yi nodded and said, "Take them to the side hall." ”

The middle-aged scribe looked at him and said, "Your Highness, you better rest for a while, the imperial doctor said, you can't do this anymore......"

Zhao Yi waved his hand, his voice was hoarse, and said, "It's okay." ”

The middle-aged scribe's face changed, and he looked at him, but finally didn't say anything.

Somewhere in the palace, several Jingguo officials were waiting anxiously.

This time, the number of soldiers captured by the Qi State was more than 10,000 people, and when they learned the news, they couldn't wait for the order of the imperial court, so they rushed day and night, no matter what, they had to bring these 10,000 people back intact.

This is 10,000 lives, and you can imagine how harsh the conditions of the Qi State are.

It will be an invisible war, and the success or failure of the war depends on them.

The door of the side hall was pushed open, and several people immediately stood up and looked over.

The man who walked in was a young man, who looked like his majesty about the same age, but his face was a little pale, his steps were slightly vain, and he seemed to be not in good health.

The first person was about to speak, Zhao Yi waved his hand and asked, "You are here for those captives?" ”

"Exactly!" The man's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "I waited for this trip to redeem more than 10,000 soldiers of my Jingguo, and I also asked Emperor Qi to make a condition. ”

Zhao Yi was silent for a moment, looked at him, and asked, "Do you have a penny on you?" ”

……

The envoys of Jingguo walked out of the side hall, and the sunlight outside was shining on their bodies, and they were just a little sober.

Suddenly, a person looked at his companion and said, "Master Chen, you slap me in the face and try to see if it hurts." ”

"Smack!"

Without hesitation, the man slapped him hard in the face.

Then he looked down at his hand and muttered, "It hurts, it's true......"

Half of the official's face immediately swelled, blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and even one of the teeth in his mouth was loose.

He looked at the Master Chen with a blank look on his face.

The official surnamed Chen patted him on the shoulder, looked at him blankly, and said, "Lord Wei, you don't have to doubt it, what happened just now is really ......."

He knew why Master Wei was at a loss, because he was also at a loss.

They had already decided in their hearts that it would take a great price for Qi to release these 10,000 captives, and Qi would definitely give a condition they couldn't imagine.

The conditions given by Qi Guo were indeed unimaginable.

This condition is a penny.

A penny can't buy a loss, a penny can't buy a fool, and a penny can bring all the captives back.

The captives had been held for nearly two months, and the sum of what they had to eat these days was a terrible number......

However, Emperor Qi did sign the document for the release of the captives as long as they had a penny, and they only needed to take this document with them to bring all the Jingguo soldiers and generals home.

The completion of this negotiation task is simply beyond imagination, and we will not say how much praise we will receive after we go back, and we can even look forward to it if it will go down in history and leave a name in history.

The two didn't have time to think about it, so they left in a hurry.

Before Emperor Qi did not repent, they had to implement this matter in the shortest possible time.

By the time they had taken all the soldiers out of here, it would be too late for him to repent.

In the side hall, Zhao Yi sat alone at the table.

In front of him, there was a huge map.

On the map, it is clearly divided into four regions.

Jing State, Wu State, Qi State after the annexation of Zhao State, and dozens of small states to the west.

Among them, Qi is the largest, almost the sum of the territory of Jingwu and Wu, and the dozens of small countries in the west are also the size of a Wu country.

His gaze fell on the far west.

Then he started coughing.

He covered his mouth and coughed heartbreakingly, coughing up large mouthfuls of blood.
