The news of Lei Qizhi's assassination was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and it quickly spread all over the world. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Qin King Gao Yue, greatly mourned, personally mourned for it, wept bitterly, difficult to himself. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty also sighed and deeply regretted.
Luoyang City.
Guo Quan strode over and met Shi Sheng with excitement on his face: "Handsome! Lei Qizhi is dead! ”
Shi Sheng immediately put down the book in his hand, and he was also surprised: "Is it true?" ”
"How is it not true, in the city of Huxian City, there is a mourning, and even white silk is hung on the head of the city. According to the investigation, a memorial service was also held in Chang'an City, and our scouts could see it clearly. ”
Guo Quan bowed again: "It's all thanks to the genius of the handsome, after figuring out Lei Qizhi's daily whereabouts, he asked the killer to pretend to be a prostitute in advance, and then successfully killed Lei Qizhi, removing one of our henchmen." After that, our army attacked Tongguan again, and it was considered to be one of the less great enemies who were good at fighting. Therefore, the handsome is not only outstanding in martial arts, but also scheming and strategic, and the last general is really in admiration for the handsome! ”
"Eh, it's not the credit of my father-in-law, you guys brainstormed." Shi Sheng lifted his beard and laughed, "No matter what, Lei Qizhi is dead after all, which is a good thing that is extremely beneficial to us." Pass my order, go to the army quickly, and set out tomorrow. This time, we will definitely defeat Huxian, and then attack Tongguan in one go. Wait to take Tongguan, hehe, my father will personally go to the king to ask for credit! ”
On the second day, Shi Shengqin led 15,000 cavalry elites, with Guo Quan as the vanguard, and went straight to Huxian with great momentum. Along the march, they occasionally found that the rout of the Qin army fled in all directions, and they were casually caught and interrogated, and they all said in unison because of the sudden death of the commander Lei Qizhi, the people in Huxian City were panicked, and the soldiers and people had no fighting spirit, and because they were afraid that it would be difficult to resist the attack of Zhao State, many soldiers simply fled in advance after discussing in private, so as not to burn the jade after the city was broken.
Shi Sheng was very excited, so he urged the army to speed up and move westward. Before long, the head of Huxian County came into view from afar, and sure enough, it was white silk fluttering, and there was a faint sound of mourning coming into the ears, which smelled depressing, but it made Zhao Jun's side of the soldiers and horses jubilant. When they reached the city gate, they found a dozen or so soldiers, led by a general, carrying a thorn on his back, waiting on one knee. Guo Quan hurriedly invited Shi Sheng to come and ask what was going on.
"The sin general Nie Wei is the deputy general in the city, and he is willing to ask Shi Dashuai to surrender to Yihu County." Nie Wei still can't afford to bend his knees, honestly because Lei Qizhi has a very high prestige, and now he died suddenly, which has hit the soldiers and people in the city too much, and has caused a very negative impact psychologically, when the dragons are leaderless and chaotic, and heard that the Zhao army came to attack, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, Nie Wei had to decide to open the door to welcome the surrender, so that the city will not be destroyed.
Nie Wei took off his helmet, lowered his head and whispered: "The commander is willing to bear all the punishments, and the general is willing to bear it with his own body, I just hope that for the sake of taking the initiative to surrender, I can spare the innocent people in the city!" ”
The dozen or so soldiers behind him also bowed to the ground, crying out for intercession, and there were people in the city behind him who kept sticking out their heads and cowering. Shi Sheng saw that they were frightened and desolate, but he didn't care too much, and he took care of quickly winning people's hearts, so he said in a rare and pleasant way that he would never punish him, and told Nie Wei to go to the thorns on his back, don't worry, Haosheng stood up and spoke.
Nie Wei said yes again and again, then stood up, still bowing his head, and guided the Zhao army into the city at the front. Shi Sheng nodded his head, and the soldiers began to rush in.
Under the banner of the Chinese army, Shi Sheng sat on a tall horse, watching the former soldiers line up silently, disappearing behind the door little by little. The wind is blowing, and the face is itchy and cool. Shi Sheng looked around, there was nothing abnormal inside and outside the city, but he suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart.
What the hell doesn't feel right? As far as the eye can see, all the generals of the Qin army, including Nie Wei, did not even wear blades to show their sincerity, and their words and deeds were respectful and respectful. Besides, his army is already marching towards Huxian County, can he still come up with any tricks?
The person Nie Wei suddenly flashed in his mind. Shi Sheng's eyebrows jumped, and he instantly understood where his uneasiness was, he didn't see Nie Wei's face clearly at all, in other words, Nie Wei kept his head down from beginning to end, and some of them didn't show his face. It is reasonable to say that at the beginning he was afraid and cowardly and did not dare to raise his head; But obviously he had publicly forgiven him in public and said that he would never be punished, and when Nie Wei was grateful, he just raised his head for a moment and then hung down again, which means that he still doesn't want to show his face, not to mention anything else, just in terms of etiquette, this is unreasonable!
I saw that Nie Wei was just an ordinary-looking man, and there was nothing strange about him. Besides, even if his face is damaged, the people present are all soldiers who have been fighting on the battlefield all year round, and all kinds of sores have been seen and seen, and no one will come to laugh at him. So, why didn't Nie Wei dare to let people look at his face?
Shi Sheng's two eyebrows were unconsciously locked in one place. Could it be that because there is a ghost in my heart and a different complexion, I am afraid that people will see any flaws and expose my feet after a long time, so I simply keep my head down all the time to hide my true emotions?
Shi Sheng couldn't help but feel excited, he hurriedly regained his senses, and immediately ordered the front army to stop entering the city! Guo Quan, the powerful general beside him, was very surprised, but when he saw Shi Sheng's grim face, he knew that there must be something unusual, so he immediately sent several horsemen to send orders, and ran to the city gate to stop the army's actions.
At this time, the soldiers of the Zhao army had already entered the city, and more than 3,000 people appeared. After hearing the emergency military order to stop entering the city, they all had a feeling of confusion, and most of them looked back blankly for a while, not knowing what the situation was.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of drums in the city, and the dark gate was quickly closed, and then all kinds of screams, angry curses, and miserable howls were heard inside.
Shi Sheng's heart sank down suddenly, and he screamed that it was not good! Most of the people who were blocked out had not reacted at this moment, Shi Sheng had already scolded angrily, and ordered the soldiers to quickly break the city gate and rescue the trapped friendly troops inside. Guo Quan and other soldiers seemed to wake up from a dream, busy wielding knives and guns, and began to attack the city.
When he was busy in a mess, he suddenly heard a dull cannon sound outside the city behind him! Zhao Jun looked back in amazement, and in the distance where he saw it, a large puff of smoke and dust had been raised, and then countless battle flags fluttered, and a large army had rushed over fiercely, headed by a general, his whole body was covered with heavy iron armor, and he was holding a huge horse chopping knife in his hand, and it was the rumored dead Qin army general Lei Qizhi!
It turned out that on that day, Lei Qizhi was suddenly assassinated by a female prostitute and a slave, and at the last moment, he turned around and avoided the fatal blow, and was shocked into a cold sweat. After torture and interrogation, he knew that she was sent by Shi Sheng, and he couldn't help but be furious, and was about to raise troops to retaliate. As soon as he thought of this, Lei Qizhi went up to Gao Yue, explained his strategy in detail, and asked Gao Yue to cooperate as well, which greatly improved the credibility of this matter. Therefore, after Qin Guo's drama, Shi Sheng of course thought that his plan would work, so he went straight to Huxian with confidence and boldness, and finally fell into the trap of Lei Qizhi.
In an instant, the Qin army behind him had already surrounded it in a fan shape, and on the head of Huxian County in front of him, the powerful crossbow arrows that were as dense as a rainstorm were also poured over, and there were frequent wooden boulders who just frantically beckoned down. Zhao Jun didn't have time to take precautions, and the miserable screams came one after another, and he became an ant on a hot pot when he landed. And suddenly encountered an ambush, the enemy before and after, many soldiers were in a panic, and at first glance they saw Lei Qizhi, who didn't know whether it was a person or a ghost, and roared and charged towards him, so he was even more frightened and confused, and became more and more helpless.
Shi Sheng shouted violently: "Retreat! We've got it! ”
He drew his sword and swept away the arrows that shot in front of him, and at the same time sharply commanded his soldiers to fight back. But in a moment, the Qin army was already encircled, the gate of Huxian County was opened, and a group of daredevils rushed out, and the shouts of killing that shook the sky made people uneasy and upset. Shi Sheng made a decision immediately, and hurriedly turned the horse's head and began to break through. The pro-soldiers around him protected him in the center, and the general Guo Quan took more than 1,000 elite horsemen to open the way, wanting to break through a gap and escape from the road. But Lei Qizhi rushed towards him in a daze, obviously, his goal was very clear.
"Thunder Seven Fingers! Won't you be at peace when you die? ”
Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Guo Quan's evil was born to the side of the bold, and he sped up the horse speed and copied the knife in his hand, and he had to hit it hard. But when he was about to get closer, Lei Qizhi turned the horse's head away, passed by Guo Quan's side, and went straight to Shi Sheng. Guo Quan was furious, and when he was about to turn back to pursue, several Qin generals had already come up and surrounded him and fought him.
"Shi Sheng! Lao Tzu is a terrible ghost now, come to ask for your dog's life! ”
Lei Qizhi roared violently, and the giant blade in his hand slashed straight at Shi Sheng's head. How did Shi Sheng not know that he was making a fool of himself, while dodging and dodging, he raised his spear and counterattacked, shouting that Lei Qizhixiu was so shameless to pretend to be a ghost.
"Shi Sheng! Can you still get a face? It's just a shame that you, as a prince general, have never been able to beat me, but you use the method of female assassination, and you actually sent your own wife to seduce Lao Tzu, I really can't imagine that you can do it to such a point, hehe, I am happy to be a turtle father, and I am embarrassed to mention the word shameless? ”
The knife in Lei Qizhi's hand kept moving, and the foul words in his mouth flew out one after another. Shi Sheng struggled to parry, and at first he could reply two sentences, but then he only met you, you, and you for a long time, and he didn't have a chance to scold a complete sentence, so he could only be forced to listen to Lei Qizhi's indiscriminate insults. Where could Shi Sheng resist such vulgarity and prankiness, he was so angry that he trembled all over, and his face was purple.
