Twilight.

The sun covers the sky, and the birds return to their nests.

Gai Wenguang hurriedly arrived at the Zhennan Palace, his face was full of gloom, and he went to the study to report the battle casualties to Ji Xuanling.

The Qin army conquered Changchuan City, but suffered a lot of losses.

More than 9,000 people were killed and more than 10,000 wounded.

Not counting the elite soldiers led by Di Zhongkang, and the price paid by Shen Tuxiu and Di Zhongtai when they pursued and killed.

In the battle of Changchuan City alone, the Qin army lost at least more than 20,000 people.

Gavin conquered Qin and experienced many battles.

The Qin army had never been so damaged.

"Hmm!"

"How's the momentum of the army?"

Ji Xuanling was entangled, depressed, and distressed about the soldiers who died on the battlefield.

However, he knew that the Qin State would inevitably suffer casualties when it opened up its territory.

What he could do was to minimize the battle damage as much as possible and ensure that the fighting spirit of the Qin army was high.

"The momentum of the three armed forces is high." Gai Wenguang reported.

"Good!"

"Wen Guang, the army has recently rested in Changchuan City, so that the three armies will be rewarded." Ji Xuanling admonished, and in an instant, asked, "How many prisoners?" ”

"This battle is brutal, at the north gate, the Jingzhou army died at the head of the city, the east and west gates, the Jingzhou army followed Guo Muyu, Lin Cangqiong fled, and there were few prisoners." Gavin Guang said.

Ji Xuanling nodded and motioned for Gai Wenguang to leave.

The expansion of the Qin State and the capture of cities and territories were commonplace.

A battle similar to Changchuan Castle is by no means the first time, nor is it the last.

If the Qin state wants to expand, it should reduce casualties as much as possible.

Ji Xuanling had to send an order to Gao Zongli, so that he summoned Xu Wenda and Jia Wendao to enter the palace, and told the two of them to select skilled craftsmen in Anzhou and Longzhou to build all kinds of siege ordnance.

Strive to reduce the casualties of the Qin army during siege operations.

The army rested for the night.

The next day, noon.

The scouts came with good news, Di Zhongkang, Di Zhongtai, Shen Tuxiu, and the leader triumphed.

Hearing the news, Ji Xuanling was very pleased.

The three tiger generals chased and killed Zhao Tuo, Zhao Chang and his son, if they captured Zhao and his son alive and seized the money and grain they carried, it would definitely make the four states of Jingxiang change suddenly.

Lead the army to the south gate to welcome the triumphant victory of the army.

During the march, Jia Wendao reported on the side that Di Zhongkang led the army to chase and kill the Zhao father and son, severely damaged the Jingzhou army led by Tao Jixi, captured many accompanying officials, and robbed a lot of food.

When he turned back to the north, he met Guo Muyu and Lin Cangqiong on a narrow road, and Di Zhongkang led the army to meet the head-on attack.

In the end, Lin Cangqiong was killed, Guo Muyu was seriously injured, and a large number of prisoners were captured.

This battle made the victory of Changchuan City more and more important to the southern expedition of the Qin army.

When we arrived at the South Gate, dust was billowing from the south.

In the dust that covers the sky and the sun, a group of fine riders slowly comes.

In front of the army, Di Zhongkang, Di Zhongtai, and Shen Tuxiu were high-spirited and happy.

Ji Xuanling walked up with a smile, led Di Zhongkang's war horse, and said loudly: "Zhong Kang, Zhong Tai, Shentu, you have worked hard, this king has sent people to prepare drinks in the military camp to reward the three armies." ”

The king led the horse, and the wine was feasted.

Di Zhongkang, Di Zhongtai, and Shen Tuxiu were flattered.

After several days of fighting, the fatigue caused by it dissipated in an instant.

A woman is a person who pleases herself, and a person who is a confidant dies.

With this king, even if they break through the sword mountain and cross the sea of fire, they will not give up.

"Thank you for being thick!" Di Zhongkang, Di Zhongtai, and Shen Tuxiu clasped their fists and said in unison.

At this time, Di Zhongkang stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the last general captured Zhao Tuo's concubines during the battle!" ”

said, send someone to bring it up, isn't it Liu Xiangjun and Zhao Yiren?

Glancing at the two, Ji Xuanling said, "Send them back to the Zhennan Palace, and arrange for a good life." The army entered the city with the king, and today it will not return if it is not drunk. ”

"Thank you for your love!" Di Zhongkang saluted.

"The army entered the camp, and the king set up a banquet in the morning." Next to him, Gavin said loudly.

When the hungry soldiers heard the news, they shouted in unison, thanking Ji Xuanling in succession, and the sound waves of mountains and seas sounded at the south gate, and the soldiers shouted long live.

When it was quiet on all sides, Di Zhongkang was ashamed and said in a low voice: "Wang, the last general led the army to pursue, fought with Tao Jixi, suffered heavy losses, captured the Jingzhou army alive, intercepted a lot of money and grain, and captured Zhao Tuo and Zhao Chang's staff. It's a pity that Dong Qizhong desperately blocked it, allowing Zhao's father and son to escape. ”

"The general has done a good job."

Di Zhongkang's score was slightly lower than Ji Xuanling's expectations, but Ji Xuanling was not held responsible, on the contrary, he was still very satisfied.

First, the elite led by Dong Qizhong and Tao Jixi far exceeded Di Zhongkang's elite cavalry, and secondly, Di Zhongkang had already gained, especially Tao Jixi, who dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Jingzhou army.

In the future, the two armies will meet on the battlefield on a narrow road, and it is believed that the Jingzhou army will definitely be afraid of the Qin army.

Di Zhongkang nodded, turned and pointed to the south.

Behind the cavalry, many captives were captured, trapped in the crooks of their arms, tethered to the tails of their horses.

Ji Xuanling looked up and found that Di Zhongkang had captured a lot of people during this trip, which had exceeded the harvest of the Battle of Changchuan City.

"Your Majesty, during the pursuit, some soldiers found Zhao Tuo's concubine who was left behind, and the general brought it back." Di Zhongkang motioned for the soldiers to go to the rear and bring the captured women.

Di Zhongtai, Shen Tuxiu led the army into the city slowly and went to the barracks for a banquet.

Ji Xuanling, Di Zhongkang, and Gai Wenguang slowly ascended the city tower, and when they were young, several soldiers bravely escorted two female dependents over.

There were two people who came, and Ji Xuanling happened to meet them when he was in the Zhennan Palace.

It is Concubine Xiang Liu Xiangjun and Zhao Yiren, who is closer to him.

At this time, they no longer have the graceful and luxurious looks of the past, on the contrary, their arms are tied, their faces are gray, and they can't be scattered, how embarrassed and embarrassed they are.

Xing Xing went north with the Qin army and traveled a long way along the road, their faces were tired and their spirits were sluggish, like frosted eggplants.

Ji Xuanling smiled with a smile on his face, looked at the two of them with his eyes, and hugged his fists and said, "Two mothers, I haven't seen you for a long time!" ”

Liu Xiangjun and Zhao Yiren looked tired, their lips were chapped, and they stared at Ji Xuanling.

A month ago, Ji Xuanling entered and exited the Zhennan Palace under a pseudonym and treated them respectfully.

In the blink of an eye, he became his captive.

Liu Xiangjun regretted that she had not done it at the beginning, she accepted the jewelry, gold and silver presented by Qin Jun, and deliberately gave King Qin good words in front of Zhao Tuo, unexpectedly harming others and herself.

If he had known Ji Xuanling's identity, he would never have let the other party leave the Zhennan Palace.

"King Qin, you are so despicable!" The more Liu Xiangjun thought about it, the more angry he became, his face was red and his ears were red, and his silver teeth were clenched.

"Presumptuous!"

Hearing the sound, Di Zhongkang burst into drink to Liu Xiangjun.

Hehe!

Ji Xuanling laughed dryly, signaled Di Zhongkang, and Gai Wenguang went to the barracks first.

Glancing at Liu Xiangjun, he sneered: "Becoming a king or defeating a king, don't you understand?" ”

"King Qin, if you are interested, quickly release the palace, otherwise, the father and brother of the palace will never forgive you." Liu Xiangjun seemed to forget his situation and said in a high-flying manner.

"Zhao Tuo fled in a hurry, he couldn't care about the safety of his mother, his mother was not interested, this king will find you a good family." Ji Xuanling said playfully, pointed at Liu Xiangjun, and greeted Wu Yuankui: "This woman is rewarded to you." ”

Liu Xiangjun didn't know what Ji Xuanling meant, his beautiful eyes glared at Wu Yuankui, and when he heard what Ji Xuanling said, he shouted urgently: "You dare? ”

"Thank you, the king!"

Wu Yuankui glanced at Liu Xiangjun, making him feel creepy.

"The king, an ordinary woman, will never shirk at the end, but the Liu family has a lot of prestige in the four states of Jingxiang, and is in charge of the Jingxiang water division, and it is beneficial for the king to fight for hegemony by recruiting the Liu family." Wu Yuankui rejected Ji Xuanling's suggestion.

Call!

Liu Xiangjun breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling like he had escaped death, and said urgently: "King Qin, those who know the times are Junjie, if you offend the Liu family, the Qin army will not be able to move an inch in the Jingxiang waters." ”

"Your Majesty!"

"In order to win over the Liu family, why doesn't the king include Concubine Xiang in the palace?" Wu Yuankui glared at Liu Xiangjun and suggested.

Ji Xuanling's eyes wandered over Liu Xiangjun, he understood what Wu Yuankui meant.

If you marry Liu Xiangjun, it will inevitably cause Zhao Tuo, Zhao Chang's father and son's suspicion of the Liu family, openly and secretly can sow discord, and with the help of Liu Xiangjun, he can get the sailor in the Jingxiang waters.

"Great idea!"

Ji Xuanling nodded and said, "Send the two ladies to the Summer Palace, wait for the king to reward the three armies, and then talk with the two ladies at night." ”

"Piff, you are so presumptuous!"

Sensing that the other party was coveting him, Liu Xiangjun shouted coquettishly.

"Hahaha!"

Hearing this, Ji Xuanling raised his head and smiled, and walked towards the barracks.

He had already arranged for the elite soldiers in advance, prepared food in the barracks, and prepared to reward the three armies.

Just after a bitter battle, everyone participated in the banquet, and the momentum of the three armies was high, pushing each other's cups and changing lamps, so it was not lively.

While drinking, Ji Xuanling instructed Jia to ask, Xu Wenda, and reward all the jewelry, gold and silver he took out to the three armies.

In the battle of Changchuan City, the Qin army suffered a lot of casualties, and Ji Xuanling treated the soldiers who died in battle, and he was even more unwilling to owe the meritorious ministers.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

Ji Xuanling instructed the generals to rest in Changchuan City, and by the way, they quietly watched the battle situation on all sides.

Especially Xing Buying, Yu Changxiong is in the south, if he can recruit Guankou City, it will be better.

Zhennan Palace!

Inside the Summer Palace.

It occupies a vast area and the palace is very beautifully decorated.

Zhao Yiren, Liu Xiangjun, was trapped in the Summer Palace by the guards.

At this time, the two of them were all a little panicked, especially Liu Xiangjun, who didn't know Ji Xuanling's character, but witnessed the decisive Qin army, for fear that he would be killed by Ji Xuanling.

Zhao Yiren was also secretly worried, for fear that Ji Xuanling would despise her.

When the two were frightened, a low voice came from outside, and suddenly, they knew that Ji Xuanling was coming.

I couldn't help but cheer up and look at the door in front of me.

With a creak, the door was pushed open, and Ji Xuanling strode in, with a strong smell of wine.

When closing the door, Ji Xuanling happened to find that the two people in front of him were staring at him, so he couldn't help but chuckle secretly, and walked towards the soft couch where the two girls were.

The two witnessed Ji Xuanling approaching, and hurriedly left from the soft couch.

Ji Xuanling sat on the soft couch and said to Zhao Yidao: "Concubine Yiniang, do you still want to see this king like this?" Recently, this king has missed his mother very much! ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yiren glanced at Liu Xiangjun and said to Ji Xuanling: "Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense." ”

"Hehe, Niangniang doesn't remember the old love, but this king thinks about the old love, and he will never treat the mother badly!" Ji Xuanling said, looking at Zhao Yiren as he spoke.

For a while, Zhao Yiren looked ashamed, and glared at Ji Xuanling fiercely.

However, thinking of the intimate behavior of the two in the past, Xiu couldn't help but turn red.

He said urgently: "I am innocent with you, and you don't want to insult my reputation." ”

Ji Xuanling said: "Hehe."

At this time, Liu Xiangjun stared at Yang Yue, glanced at Zhao Yiren again, heard the conversation between the two, and muttered secretly: "Zhao Yiren really had an adulterous affair with King Qin, and she should have been exposed in the first place." ”

Looking at Ji Xuanling's appearance again, he didn't take her seriously at all. couldn't help but hurriedly said: "King Qin, my father and brother are still leading troops in the south, you'd better let me go, otherwise, one day, you will regret it." ”

"Hehe, this king has no grievances with Niangniang, so he will naturally let Niangniang leave." Ji Xuanling Road.

"Really?"

Liu Xiangjun asked.

She had to leave Changchuan City quickly, otherwise, after a long time, she would be easily suspected by Zhao Tuo.

"You have no jokes!" Ji Xuanlinglang said with a smile: "However, before Niangniang goes back, I bother you to bring a gift to Zhao Tuo." ”

After that, Ji Xuanling clapped his hands, and Wu Yuankui walked in with a wooden box.

Liu Xiangjun didn't know what he meant, and asked urgently: "This palace doesn't believe it anymore, and will never accept your gold, silver and jewelry." ”

"Hahaha!"

"Now that Changchuan City has been captured, this king doesn't have too much gold, silver and jewelry to give to his mother!" Ji Xuanling said: "Today, the annoying mother brought back Zhao Sen's head and told Zhao Tuo that this king wants to seize Changchuan City and occupy the southern states, who dares to go against this king, Zhao Sen's end is his end." ”

As he spoke, he motioned for Wu Yuankui to open the wooden box, and Zhao Sen's head was placed inside.

"Ahh

Liu Xiangjun exclaimed, covering her eyes with a soft eye, not daring to look directly.

Zhao Yiren was also shocked and secretly panicked.

Zhao Sen had a very high status in Changchuan City, and he was quite martial arts, so he was easily killed by the Qin army!

After a short panic, Liu Xiangjun returned to his senses and hurriedly said, "The slave family immediately took Zhao Sen's head and gave it to Zhao Tuo." ”

Ji Xuanling chuckled, motioned to Wu Yuankui to cover the box, and said, "Prepare some wine and food!" He got up and walked to Liu Xiangjun, and Zhao Yiren, and said with a smile: "I have been in a hurry for several days, and Niangniang is afraid that the water and rice have not entered, so I will stay in the palace first, and the king of Japan will personally send Niangniang away." ”

"I'm not hungry, I'd rather leave right away." Liu Xiangjun said.

Unexpectedly, Ji Xuanling said: "That's fine, this king and Concubine Yi have a meal." ”

Saying that, Ji Xuanling grabbed Zhao Yiren and walked towards the soft couch, at this time, Zhao Yiren maintained the majesty of the princess, and said: "King Qin, men and women are not kissed, and please restrain the king." ”

Zhao Yiren scolded angrily, twisting his little arms and struggling.

With a snap, Ji Xuanling was afraid of hitting Zhao Yiren's crisp buttocks, and said: "As early as a few months ago, wasn't Niangniang willing to go to Xianyang, why did she suddenly refuse now." ”

As he spoke, he glared at Liu Xiangjun and said, "You are already captives, you should know the fate of the captives." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yiren glanced at Ji Xuanling and said, "King Qin, the slave family was captured by General Di alive, and I hope that the king will treat him well." ”

"Oh, this king promised a long time ago not to hurt Niangniang's people!" Ji Xuanling Road.

Hearing this, Zhao Yiren exhaled a long breath, still a little at a loss.

"Pour tea for this king!" Ji Xuanling Road.

Zhao Yiren looked depressed when he heard this, but when he thought that Ji Xuanling promised to treat his clansmen well, he didn't care about it anymore.

turned around and made tea and served it to Ji Xuanling.
