Chapter 605: The End of the Road
Jianzhou!
Lin Jianlu, Zhao Poyu and other generals led the army in Changbi Mountain and reached a stalemate with the army led by Guo Mang.
North, Yangchun City.
Where the King of Qin was seated, the situation took a subtle turn for the better.
In the past month, Shen Tuxiu, Lu Linxuan commanded the Qin army, leveled the remnants of Jiangnan, sent a small number of elites to garrison Xiangyang, Linyou and other places, Shen Tuxiu, Lu Linxuan led the army west.
Entering Qianzhou, cooperating with Wu Jiling to inflict heavy damage on Zhao Chang's department, the two armies advanced strongly, occupied the entire territory of Qianzhou, and captured Zhao Chang alive.
After sharing the spoils with the Chu army under Han Daochang, a few days ago, Shen Tuxiu, Lu Linxuan, and Wu Jiling led the army in triumph and arrived in Yangchun City.
with this.
Gongzi Ang commanded the coalition army, advancing to the south in a mighty way, relying on the momentum like a rainbow, the elite cavalry is good at fighting, and successively annihilated Zhang Tang, the tiger army led by Kong Sheng, and the soldiers marched southward strongly.
Zhao Kang was already at the end of the crossbow, like a grasshopper at the end of autumn, lingering when all sides attacked.
Zhang Tang, Kong Sheng's Tiger Warrior Force, suffered heavy losses, after the blood stained the northern Xinjiang, Zhao Kang's elite in the court was sharply reduced, leaving only Zhao Rui, the Tiger Ben Army led by Huang Fuxiong.
As a result, the territory of northern Xinjiang fell, and the territory controlled by the Zhao Kang Empire became less and less.
In such a situation, the Zhao army rode elite cavalry, and the soldiers came to the outside of Luo'an City, where Zhao Chen was located, and confronted the tiger army defending the city under the command of Huang Fuxiong.
Gongzi Ang commanded the elites of various countries to scatter to various parts of Zhaokang's northern Xinjiang, spread out like a spider's web, and seized the city of Zhaokang's northern land.
The victorious team is speeding up to join the Zhao army and point at Luo'an City.
At this time, Luo Ancheng was like a fish on the board, just waiting for the coalition forces to gather and slaughter. Zhao Chen, Zhao Rui, Huang Fuxiong, like lambs to the slaughter, Luo'an City is broken, they will definitely die.
In the city of Luo'an today, the atmosphere is tense, and the defenders are like frightened birds, panicking, and sometimes sneaking out of the city at night and fleeing from the battle.
Zhao Chen, Zhao Rui, Huang Fuxiong and others discussed countermeasures all night for several days in a row, but except for Huang Fuxiong's suggestion to move to the east, there was still no strategy to break the enemy.
They all knew that the longer the delay, the convergence of the coalition forces, the more unfavorable it would be for Zhao Kang.
At the time of crisis, Zhao Rui remembered Ji Xuanling's proposal and suggested to Zhao Chen that he lead the army to surrender to Qin and cede the counties of Zhao Kang to Qin.
Let Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Qin fight the seven kingdoms, if there is a chance, they will raise an army again, and if there is no opportunity, it is better to surrender Qin than to become a prisoner of Qi.
Descending Qin?
Zhao Chen and Huangfu Xiong heard the voice, the two sides glanced at each other, and they all looked at Zhao Rui.
Surrender Qin to protect yourself, and then wait for the opportunity to move.
"King Yong, the king of Qin is not a good type, there are a lot of ministers around him, if they surrender to Qin, they will definitely try to weaken the emperor's military power and not give the emperor a chance to make a comeback." Huang Fuxiong said with difficulty.
"General Huangfu, surrender to Qin, we still have a way to live, if we don't surrender to Qin, the ending of General Zhang and General Kong is our way to live." Zhao Rui said anxiously, clasped his fists and said to Zhao Chen: "Brother Huang, it's definitely not that the younger brother is greedy for life and afraid of death, but the situation is pressing. ”
Zhang Tang, Kong Sheng.
Hearing the lives of the two, Zhao Chen was silent for a moment, and Huang Fuxiong stopped arguing.
The Tiger Ben army in the north was defeated, Zhang Tang was killed in battle, Kong Sheng was captured, and it was rumored that Gongzi Ang intended to surrender, Kong Sheng committed suicide.
In the hands of Gongzi Ang, they don't want to live.
Zhao Chen wandered in the study, sighed for a long time, and said to Zhao Rui: "King Yong, you go to Yangchun City, negotiate with the King of Qin, and tell him that the Zhao Kang royal family is willing to surrender to Qin and give the two states under its control to the Qin State, but the Qin army wants to block the Qi and Zhao coalition forces and drive them out of Zhao Kang's old land." ”
"Whoa!" Zhao Rui bowed his head and walked away.
"General Huangfu, you lead the defenders in the city and insist on resisting the Zhao and Qi coalition forces, and you must wait until the army of King Qin arrives." Zhao Chen said.
"Whoa!" Huang Fuxiong received the order and left quickly.
Zhao Chen wandered in the study with his hands in his hands, and from the bottom of his heart, he was unwilling to give up Zhao Kang's territory to Qin, and led a hundred officials to surrender to Qin in Luo'an City, becoming the king of the Zhao Kang Empire.
It's a pity that the situation forced him to do this.
The elites of all walks of life were lost, and Gongzi Ang commanded the coalition troops to be outside, and he did not seek a way to retreat, and he was in a different place at any time.
In the city of Yangchun.
Ji Xuanling paid close attention to the war situation between Jianzhou and Northern Xinjiang.
Knowing that Lin Jianlu, Ruan Xinghe led the army to fight in Hanhai County in Jianzhou, and the offensive momentum was good. Guo Jikang and Gongsun Ang entered Changliu County, and the road was unimpeded, and the speed of attacking the city was faster.
There is no need to worry about the war in the state.
In Shen Tuxiu, Lu Linxuan, Wu Jiling triumphantly arrived in Yangchun City, Zhao Kanghu was buried in Northern Xinjiang, Zhao Chen, Zhao Rui, was reluctant to surrender to Qin, Ji Xuanling planned to send troops to attack and seize Zhao Kang's territory.
When Ji Xuanling's ministers discussed the military situation and arranged the troops, Zhao Rui arrived in Yangchun City in a panic and ran into the palace in a hurry.
Seeing Ji Xuanling in the palace, Zhao Rui hurriedly said what he meant: "King Qin, the forward of the Zhao army has arrived outside Luo'an City, all kinds of coalition forces are gathering from the north, Luo'an City is in danger, the imperial brother is willing to surrender to Qin, and give all the land controlled by Zhao Kang to Qin State, hoping that the King of Qin will send troops quickly, otherwise, Luo'an City will fall and the imperial brother will die, and the money, grain, and ordnance stored in the city will fall into the hands of the coalition army." ”
Descend to Qin.
In the hall, Ji Xuanling and Jia asked, Xu Wenda glanced at each other and chuckled secretly. Shen Tuxiu, Lu Linxuan, and Wu Jiling next to him were also secretly happy.
However, Ji Xuanling did not readily agree, but instead asked: "At the time of crisis, Zhao Chen claimed to let the land descend to Qin and seek self-protection, I'm afraid he has ulterior motives, right?" ”
Who Zhao Chen is and what kind of temperament, Ji Xuanling doesn't dare to say that he knows it thoroughly, but he also knows it very well.
This person is ambitious and ambitious, but unfortunately his heart is higher than the sky, his life is thinner than paper, and everything is not going well when he inherits the throne, but his evil thoughts have not been restrained at all.
When life and death are at stake, who dares to guarantee that he has no fancy.
Ji Xuanling hoped that the soldiers would not be bloodless and take over Zhao Kang's old land, and he didn't want Zhao Chen to surrender to Qin, and he would play tricks behind his back to harm the Qin State.
"King Qin, the imperial brother sincerely surrenders to Qin!" Zhao Rui wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and said anxiously.
At this time, except for the King of Qin who could rescue them and take them in, all forces were eager to get rid of them as soon as possible.
Ji Xuanling rejected their words, and the Zhao Kang Empire would be completely at the end of its rope.
Hahaha!
"Really?" Ji Xuanling smiled and asked coldly.
"Of course!" Zhao Rui nodded heavily.
"Good!" Ji Xuanling said: "If Zhao Chen is sincere in surrendering to Qin, this king will be terrifying and elite to help him, but the tiger defenders in Luo'an City need to belong to the Qin State, and all the commanders are under the orders of the Qin State. In addition to the gold, silver and jewelry accumulated by the Zhao Kang royal family, other money, food, and ordnance in the city are all owned by the Qin State, I don't know if you agree.
With this, after the surrender of Qin, you led your family members to the capital of Qin, do you dare to accept it? ”
Ji Xuanling hoped that after taking over the Zhao Kang Empire, he would strip the Tiger Ben Army and the money, grain, and ordnance from Zhao Chen, so that Zhao Chen would not have evil thoughts and try to make a comeback.
