Chapter 274: Surrender

The first year of Qin II was destined to be an unquiet year.

Since the rebellion of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, the form has become more and more complicated, and it has become more and more intense. In the entire Kanto region, except for a great victory in Loucang, the Qin army in various places has never had any good news. Even Xue County and Sanchuan County, which were heavily garrisoned, were only in a state of stalemate, making people see no hope of victory. After Tian Dan raised troops in Jiaozhou, under the rule of Qi, he responded one after another. The majesty of the Great Qi in the past is enough to make many Qi people remember, although there are lessons from the failure of the previous Sandian Rebellion, but there are still many people who have a fluke heart. When Tian Dan raised his troops, many people who were unwilling to be lonely jumped out again.

Yuda Fuku, who slipped through the net in the Mita Rebellion, was the first to ......

Seeing that the situation in Xue County was becoming more and more chaotic, he could no longer care about Liu Bang in Pei County, and turned to increase troops to Xue County.

The two troops joined forces and defended the defense lines of Cheng and Bian, trying to stop the war from Xue County.

However, as the situation became more and more erosive, chaos began to appear in Xue County and Donghai County, and it spread rapidly.

The whole Kanto, starting in May, is full of wolf smoke.

The Qin army, which was already overstretched, had to shrink its defensive line and launched repeated tug-of-war with the rebel army in Sanchuan Xue County.

In June, Zhang Er Chen Yu suggested to Chen Sheng that he lead his troops north to attack Yan Zhao's hometown.

At the same time, Zhou Zhang rose rapidly after a series of hard battles. The men and horses under his command grew like a snowball, and by the end of June, Zhou Zhang's troops had six or seven hundred thousand troops. And under the command of Zhou Zhang, approaching Hangu Pass.

Li You was in Xingyang City, and was entangled by Wu Guang's subordinates and couldn't get out.

As for Wu Guang, although he also understood Chen Sheng's intentions. But the war has reached this point, and he wants to withdraw, but he can't.

So, regardless of Li You or Wu Guang. They could only watch Zhou Zhang's subordinates pass by, but there was nothing they could do. \

Nahan Valley Pass is the gateway to Guanzhong.

Breaking through Hangu Pass, you can wave your army all the way west. Take Xianyang directly.

At the beginning of July, Hangu Pass, known as Xiongguan, was broken by Zhou Zhang's troops in one fell swoop, causing an uproar in the world.

If earlier there were people who planned to observe the situation, but now that the Hangu Pass has been breached, no action will be taken. I will regret it!

And the first people to act were not heroes from all over the Kanto......

In July of the first year of Qin II, Wu County, Huiji County.

Yin Tong is a man over fifty years old, living in Linzi, and was originally a student of Jixia Academy.

After the First Emperor unified the Six Kingdoms, Yin Tong was summoned. first served as a doctor in Xianyang for two years, and was appreciated by Li Sidi because he was good at criminal law, and was recommended to the first emperor Yingzheng. The first emperor was thirty-four years old. Yin Tong was appointed as the county warden of Huiji. Out of the town of Jiangnan Huiji County, it was prosperous for a while in the Wuyue period.

However, after entering the Warring States. In the past, the land of Wuyue has become the granary of the Chu State.

Although it is compared to the wealth of the Central Plains. Huiji County is far inferior. But compared with most of the wild places in the south of the Yangtze River, Huiji County is undoubtedly the most prosperous. Here are the delicate little beauties. There are peerless divine soldiers who sharpen iron like mud, as well as the Jiangnan style of dense rivers and small bridges and flowing water...... At the same time, Huiji County was also a granary of the former Chu State. After entering the Qin Dynasty, it supplied the baggage of the southern army.

Overall, compared to Luoyang and Xianyang, which are famous and wealthy, Huiji County is nothing.

However, it is indeed blessed with unique resources. Wu Yue's sons inherited the fierce blood of the old Chu people, and they were brave and good at fighting.

When Yin Tong first arrived in Huiji, he immediately felt the unique style here.

When the news of the death of the First Emperor came, Yin Tong didn't have many special ideas.

However, with the perverse actions of Qin II, with the uprising of Chen Sheng, Wu Guangdi, Daze Township...... Yin Tongdi's heart began to move. /\

If Lao Qin perishes, even if I can't get the whole world, with the help of rivers and moats, I can at least become a prince.

If you can get lucky, maybe you can dominate Jiangnan and achieve the foundation of the former Chu State! This kind of thinking, if it does not appear, is just fine, and once it appears, it is like a seed that has fallen to the ground, quickly taking root and sprouting. As the situation in the Central Plains deteriorated day by day, Yin Tong's idea became stronger and stronger. In the end, Yin Tong could no longer control himself, and there seemed to be a voice calling in his heart, calling him to do something about it. And Chen Shengdi's sentence of the prince and the prince will be like Xiangning, which makes him irresistible.

The sky was a little gloomy, as if it was going to rain.

Jiangnan is already rainy, so it's not surprising. Yin Tong changed into civilian clothes, ordered someone to clean up the wine and food, boarded the car, and drove out of the mansion.

It's dark.

The car stopped at the gate of a house in the south of Wu County.

This mansion covers an area of more than ten hectares, and the walls are very high, and the walls are covered with mottled traces of time, showing a dark gray thickness.

A general stepped forward and knocked on the dark door.

"Who!"

A voice with a strong Wu Yue accent came from behind the door, followed by a crack in the door, and a small official walked out of it.

"The county guard comes to make rounds, don't alarm others."

When the family general showed his seal, the jailer saw it and hurriedly came down from the steps and bowed down.

Yin Tong got out of the car and said softly, "Is it still calm recently?" ”

Since Yin Tong was born in Qi, he was accustomed to calling prison a prison. The cell boss hurriedly said: "Qiyu County Guard, everything is as usual." ”

"Pay!"

Yin Tong looked at the black plaque hanging high at the door, with two large vermilion characters on it, and the salary prison talked about this salary, but it had an unusual origin. \ Legend has it that Wu and Yue fought for hegemony that year, and the Yue Kingdom was defeated, and the Yue King Goujian became a prisoner of the King of Wu. Of course, it wasn't a salary at the time, and it wasn't as majestic as it is now.

After the defeat of the Wu Kingdom, Gou Jian built this mansion.

Later, Wu Yue perished, and the salary became a place where prisoners were held. However, the people who can be imprisoned here are not ordinary people.

Yin Tong nodded. Walked up the steps.

The old man followed closely behind him, and soon entered the corridor of the cell.

There was a disgusting rancid smell coming towards him, making Yin Tong couldn't help frowning and coughing lightly twice.

In this prison. That's the smell.

Even in a luxurious prison, this is inevitably the case. Yin Tong didn't know what to say, so he asked softly, "Which cell is Xiang Liang in?" ”

"Xiang Liang?"

The cell leader was stunned at first, "Mr. Xiang is in the innermost cell. Follow the road and go straight and around the corner. ”

There was a taste of respect in his words. The Xiang family has a high prestige in Chu, and the same is true in the former land of Wuyue.

Yin Tong was a little uncomfortable in his heart.

In his opinion. Now that Old Qin is in danger, he is the master of this Huiji County. When the cell boss spoke to him, although he was extremely humble, he did not have much respect. And this kind of respect from the heart is the feeling that Yin Tong needs. The Xiang family is worthy of being one of the eighteen surnames of Jingchu, and they also have a very high status in this Huiji County. But in this case, who are you?

If it weren't for the Xiang Liang. Yin Tong wanted to kill Xiang Liang now.

"Go down. I have something to say to Mr. Xiang...... Defend this place, a few of you. ”

Yin Tong finished ordering. \//\ only brought a general, carrying a food box and walking inside. The rest were in the corridor. After driving the jailer away, he guarded it.

The cell floor was dimly lit. Yin Tong could only see an unkempt man, sitting in the middle of the cell.

The cell was not particularly messy, and he knelt in the center, looking solemn. I couldn't see his appearance clearly, but Yin informed that this person was Xiang Liang.

"Mr. Xiang, has you always been good?"

Yin Tong stood outside the cell, and his mouth snorted twice, "Look at it, look at it, how do these people do things?" How did Mr. Xiang live in such a place? It's hateful, it's hateful...... This is the negligence of a certain family, please forgive Mr. Xiang. ”

"You're welcome!"

The man in the cell spoke with a feminine air.

The sound is very pleasant and quite subtle. However, it lacks a bit of majesty, and it is soft and soft, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

"Liang is just a prisoner's ear, and in this salary, he is already taken care of by the county guard, how dare he ask for other requirements."

"Since the last time I met him, I have always wanted to visit him again. It's a pity...... After that, there were so many things that it was difficult to get out. I have time today, so I came to pay my respects...... Come on, put the food on the table, and I'll have a talk with my husband. ”

The house will open the cell door and turn on the candles.

I saw the man in the cell, still sitting upright.

Pull the bun away, revealing an extremely delicate face. The blade of the years has left traces on his face, but it can't hide his original handsomeness and handsomeness. The man glanced at the food in front of him, smiled at Yin Tong, and poured himself a full glass of wine.

"Liang thank you for the county guard, do it first as a respect."

"Please!"

Yin Tong waved his hand to signal the family general to go out, and then sat down opposite Xiang Liang.

"The county guard came here today, I'm afraid it's not just to invite Xiang to drink."

"Mr. Xiang is really smart." Yin Tong smiled, "Since that's the case, Tong might as well say it directly." Imprisoning Mr. Xiang was not the original intention of Tong. It is difficult to disobey the holy order, and I have to be like this. Mr. Xiang is a master, and he has heard of it for a long time, and he has always respected it. ”

Although it is said to be straightforward, Yin Tong still has to try his tone first.

Xiang Liang smiled calmly, "The county guard has this intention, the ancestors of the Liang Dynasty, thank you!" ”

"Xianyang came to the edict several times to imprison Mr. to Xianyang, but Tong refused...... Do you know, sir, why is it like this? ”

Xiang Liang took a sip of wine, and after a long silence, he said softly: "Your Majesty has collapsed!" ”

This sentence is very cleverly said.

The implication is that it's not that you want to refuse, but that because Qin Shi Huang died, you have other ideas, so you refuse.

When Yin Tong heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

"Sir is really a smart man, it seems that Sir has already understood, why is Tong here today?"

"I know a little bit about it."

"That's it. I'll be blunt. Although the gentleman is a prisoner and trapped in this square inch, he thinks that he has heard about the things outside.

Since the accession of II to the throne. The credit is small, perverse.

In my opinion, it is not the image of the human master, and it will not be able to last long...... Now. The world is full of heroes, and the war continues. Although Yin is not a Huiji, he has been out of town for many years, and he also has a lot of feelings for this Huiji. I can't bear to have a day, the war will spread to the south of the Yangtze River, and it will inevitably be ruined at that time.

I would like to ask sir to help me. Keep the peace of this place, and protect the people.

I just don't know, is the gentleman willing to help? I know that Mr. has doubts, but Yin is sincere, and I ask Mr. not to doubt it. ”

Xiang Liang smiled, "How does the county guard want me to help?"

Leung has been imprisoned for nearly two years. Although I have heard about the things outside, I can't help it. Today, Liang is a prisoner. But the county guard wants me to help? Liang really couldn't think of it. What can I do to help the county guard? If you can do it, you will not refuse. ”

"Huh. This prisoner's body is just what Lao Qin said.

I don't know the people of this old land. Who doesn't know that Mr. Xiang is a Coats? The Xiang family is well-known in Chudi. Mr. Xiang only needs to come forward and call out from the heights, and there are countless responders. Besides, what is the nephew of the gentleman doing now, does the gentleman know? ”

Xiang Liang was stunned for a moment, and sighed after a while.

"Liang heard a little, the son of the evil gathered a crowd as bandits, haunted the earthquake, and brought disaster to the people.

Thinking that my Xiang clan has been loyal and good for generations, but there is such a bad son, I am really ashamed of my ancestors and ancestors...... This beam is also wrong. ”

Speaking of shame towards his ancestors, Xiang Liangdi's tone did not hear the slightest sense of shame.

Yin Tong secretly gritted his teeth, but with a smile on his face, "Mr. Xiang doesn't have to be like this, if you want your nephew to save you, you have to do it as a last resort." I have always admired people who are loyal and filial to their brothers, so I can't bear to arrest them. Now...... Hehe, this world is in turmoil, in order to keep the peace of the society, I am willing to surrender my nephew. For Zhenze water bandits, it is not a long-term thing. He was asked to be the county lieutenant so that his nephew could serve under him. The past is no longer cared about...... But I don't know, can Mr. be willing to such conditions? ”

When Xiang Liang heard this, he seemed to be extremely excited. Hudi stood up all of a sudden, and arched his hand: "The county guard has the people of Huiji, the people of Huiji are very lucky, and the people of Wuyue are very lucky?" Liang is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses.

It's just that I've been imprisoned for a long time, and I don't know where Xiang Ji is now.

Liang Yuan wrote a letter and asked the county guard to forward it on his behalf. The son of a wicked son has listened to me, and if he sees my letters, he will gladly come. ”

If Xiang Liang said that he would go to see Xiang Ji in person, Yin Tong would not agree, and even had doubts.

But now, this beam is in his own hands. In Wu County, there are also many of his people, even if he doesn't obey the title, what is there to fear.

Thinking of this, Yin Tong said: "In this case, please write to Mr., and I will send someone to find Ling's nephew." ”

"What's so hard about that? Ask the county guard to prepare pen and paper, and Liang will write it now. ”

Yin Tong immediately sent someone to get a pen and paper, and Xiang Liang wrote hard in front of Yin Tong, and quickly wrote a letter. After Yin Tong took it, he glanced at it and saw that it was mostly written in Chu script. It's no wonder that people like the Xiang family, who have been nobles of Chu for generations, write Chu Wen normally. There were a few Qin Xiaozhen among them, but Yin Tong didn't care very much and nodded lightly.

It is inevitable that you will forget to write a pen.

Replacing it with Qin Xiaozhen is no problem.

After reading the entire letter, he was full of emotion and persuaded Xiang Ji to surrender. It's very smooth, and it's very eloquent, and the rhetoric is extraordinarily gorgeous.

This is a solution to the problem!

Yin Tong immediately put away the letter, and then asked Xiang Liang to go, wash up, and change clothes. At the same time, he sent someone to send Xiang Liang's letter out of Wu County and went to Zhenze to find Xiang's book. How could Yin Tong not know where the title was? In the past, Huan Chu, the head of the Zhenze water bandits, had a close relationship with Yin Tong. Xiang Ji took refuge in Huan Chu last year, and soon killed Huan Chu, Yin Tong gritted his teeth with hatred.

encircled and suppressed Xiang Ji several times, but was either defeated by Xiang Ji or fled by him.

However, if it can really be said that he has lowered his membership to serve himself, even if he dies ten more Huan Chu, what does it matter?

"Give this letter to Xiang Ji, and say that his uncle is now a guest in my house. If you don't come within ten days, don't blame me for being polite. ”

Yin Tong told him repeatedly, and then let the retainer leave.

He stood on the steps in front of the salary gate, looked up at the vast sky, and suddenly laughed.

The Xiang family's uncles and nephews have a high reputation, so what can they do?

As long as I'm here for a day, this is my territory. When I am strong and strong in the future, it will not be too late to clean up the uncles and nephews of the Xiang family!

Shameless face all the gentlemen, and work hard to code words.
