Besides, Zhang Tianxi held his breath, he didn't even remove his armor from his body, he sat in the tent with a big gun, and waited for the siege to start after dawn. โฆ โฆ, when the subordinate generals saw that the lord was like this, no matter how tired they were, they could only force themselves to accompany them. Everyone stayed up until almost the third watch, Zhang Tianxi sighed, his heavy eyelids just drooped, and suddenly he heard the sound of killing outside the tent, Zhang Tianxi sat up straight and asked, "What is the sound outside?" โ
Before the words fell, I saw a soldier of the Liang Army running in in a panic and shouting to Zhang Tianxi: "No, it's not good, the king, the Qin army has come to steal the camp." โ
"What?" Zhang Tianxi stood up suddenly, shook the big gun in his hand, and shouted: "I really don't know whether I live or die, and I dare to sneak attack this king's camp overnight, it's just a dying struggle." All the armies obeyed the order, and went out with the king. After that, Zhang Tianxi took the lead and rushed out of the big tent, and saw that there was a large group of Qin soldiers shouting at the Liang army with torches outside the three arrows away from the Liang army's camp, as if they were about to rush up. Seeing this, Zhang Tianxi turned his eyes over and got on his horse, brandished a steel gun and rushed towards the opposite Qin army, and the Liangjun soldiers and horses behind him also rushed out shouting.
But this group of Qin troops saw that the Liang army was pouring out of the nest and ran back as soon as they turned around, Zhang Tianxi then led the army to chase, this Qin army is also really angry, as long as Zhang Tianxi chases them, they will run, as long as Zhang Tianxi stops them, they will stop, in short, there is always only three arrows between the two armies. After chasing after Zhang Tianxi saw that he couldn't catch up, and he was worried that there was fraud in it, so he stopped chasing and ordered to go back to the camp, but Zhang Tianxi took the team back and just walked not far, he heard a burst of killing sound behind the team, Zhang Tianxi didn't dare to underestimate the enemy, so he hurriedly ordered the rear team to change into the front team and then go to meet the enemy, but as soon as the Qin army turned around and ran away, Zhang Tianxi could only chase after the troops again, so he went back and forth several times, and finally until the dawn was about to dawn, the Qin army really retreated, This night was a night of anguish and exhaustion. Zhang Tianxi was also tired and panting, so he simply took off his armor, wore only a battle robe, and leaned against a big tree with a big gun in one hand to close his eyes and recuperate. Zhang Tianxi felt more and more angry in his heart, and secretly scolded Yun Meng for being insidious, and said in his heart, "This king will rest for a while first, and wait until the siege heavy weapons transferred by Jincheng arrive, and you will be trampled into powder all over the city." โ
"Oh no, big deal!" Zhang Tianxi suddenly heard a hurried shout, immediately opened his red eyes vigilantly, and asked the entourage next to him what happened, without waiting for his subordinates to go to investigate, he saw a captain under Zhang Tianxi's tent crawling and crawling, covered in blood and running to Zhang Tianxi, "plop" and knelt on the ground and wailed: "Lord, the big thing is not good!" Our army has been hit by that, and the cloud scenery is a slight plan to divert the tiger from the mountain! The Qin army took advantage of the opportunity for the lord to lead the army out of the camp to pursue, and there was another way where the Qin soldiers directly took away the camp. โ
"Oops, it's so annoying to me!" Zhang Tianxi shouted and got up suddenly, who knew that as soon as he stood up, Zhang Tianxi felt that the sky was spinning in front of him, his body was shaking from side to side and almost fell, and the entourage on the side quickly held it up, everyone hurriedly stepped forward to call, Zhang Tianxi closed his eyes and hummed vigorously, which was tossed by the Qin army all night, but it turned out that he fell into Yunmeng's plan, and even the camp was lost, where can Zhang Tianxi not be angry, his lungs are about to explode.
"Report!" Another harsh sound reached his ears, Zhang Tianxixin suddenly raised his throat, slowly opened his eyes, struggled to sit up and asked, "What's the matter?" Is it that the people of Jincheng have returned? โ
But when he saw the probe horse kneeling on the ground, he looked panicked.
Zhang Tianxi exerted all his strength and shouted: "What's the matter? Speak quickly! โ
Tanma clenched his fists helplessly and said: "King Qiyu, the little ones have just inquired and learned that Jin Jincheng and He Zuo Nan have been occupied by the Qin army. โ
"Ahh Zhang Tianxi screamed, and then spit out three mouthfuls of blood with another mouthful, "Wow, wow, wow", and then fell unconscious. King Liang has been destined to go like a gossamer, in this case, the fighting spirit of the Liang army is lost, who can continue to fight, so the general Zhang Tianxi fled to Liangzhou like a lost dog, discarding weapons and countless burdens along the way, and a large number of soldiers became deserters. After Zhang Tianxi returned to Liangzhou, he was in a hurry and hurt his vitality, and he died in less than half a month. After that, his son Zhang Datong succeeded to the throne, but the foundation of Daliang has been completely damaged, and since then it has been in a slump, and half a year later it was destroyed by Yao Chang's army.
Besides, Yun Menglian used a clever plan, and in two days, he captured Luoyang, killed him, and angrily defeated the Liang army. Since his debut, Yun Meng has successively used his extraordinary wisdom and wonderful strategy to achieve victory after victory for Daqin. Later, some people commented that Yun Meng was the first person to make a contribution, which was enough to see Yun Meng's contribution to Great Qin.
Li Yan secretly regretted that his recklessness had offended Yun Meng again, and he didn't expect Zhang Tianxi to be so vulnerable, causing the situation that was originally beneficial to him to become passive again, and he lost many cities such as Luoyang, Jincheng, and Zuonan, leaving only the lonely city of Caohan's lair. What made Li Yan feel even more heartbroken was that the military advisor Gai Tao actually sacrificed his life for the country, if he hadn't forgotten to take Gai Tao back to Caohan with him for a while, he wouldn't have even had someone to discuss countermeasures. Li Yan knew that it was impossible for him to sway left and right between Qin and Liang at this time, and now that Da Liang was about to die, there was only an empty shelf left, and the Zhang family in Liangzhou could only be reduced to a funeral in the end. And the Jin court is thousands of miles away, out of reach, and can't be counted on at all, for today's plan, it seems that only by bowing to the Qin army can he retreat. So Li Yan turned his face and repaired a letter with Yun Meng again, in which Li Yan repeatedly apologized to Yun Meng, claiming that he had no intention of offending the prime minister only because he was confused and listened to Gai Tao's words so he did something stupid, he had found out that Gai Tao was a spy in Liangzhou, and now he has decided not to be instigated by others to change his past, the prime minister is like a saint's talent, and his broad-mindedness is comparable to the boundless desert. I hope that the prime minister can appreciate his hard work and sincerity, and he will also open the gate of the city to welcome the prime minister. The attitude is extremely humble and sincere, and it is extremely flattering.
Yun Meng received Li Yan's letter in Luoyang, and after reading it briefly, he put the letter aside casually, smiled and shook his head. The generals on both sides looked at it and didn't know why, Jiang Ying hugged his fists and asked: "Prime Minister, isn't it Li Yan's old trick of the dog thief repeated, and he came to show weakness and ask for surrender?" โ
Yun Meng nodded.
Yao Chang came out and said: "Such a faithless and unrighteous person, the prime minister should not pay attention to it." The last general is willing to lead his troops to battle, and it will only take a few moments to capture Caohan. โ
Cao Qi also came out and shouted: "Li Yan is a despicable villain, he will take refuge in whoever he sees is strong, this kind of person is not a pity to die, and I am also willing to go with General Yao to attack Caohan." The other generals are also eager to try.
I saw Yun Meng smile and said: "The generals are really the pillars of my Great Qin, but since Li Yan is so sincere, I think it is better to go to Caohan in person." โ
"What? Does the prime minister really believe Li Yan's words? Aren't you afraid that he will cheat again? Yao Chang asked.
Yun Meng smiled again and said: "The general's concern Yun understands that since Li Yan keeps saying that he wants to show sincerity, whether it is true or not, I will push the boat with the water, and if he takes the risk, Yun will not let him succeed." Although Yao Chang didn't understand too much, he saw that Yun Meng seemed to be confident, so he didn't say anything more. So Yun Meng settled down with the generals again.
The county was established in Qin, close to Jincheng, the territory is mountainous, the water system is developed, and it has been the place of distribution of goods in the northwest since ancient times. On this day, there were more than a dozen horseback riders from outside the city, and the leader was wearing a white brocade robe, showing dark patterns, wearing a small crown of hair, and a jade belt around his waist, and he was sitting steadily on a black cone horse looking at the appearance of the city. The entourage behind him was all dressed in blue-gray sword sleeves and hanging swords from their waists, and this gentleman in white was Qin Xiangyun Meng, "Hey, who are you waiting for, report your name quickly, otherwise we will release arrows." "It turned out that the soldiers on the city tower also saw Yunmeng and them.
"You are rude, this is the Prime Minister of the Great Qin State. Hurry up and inform your lord to go out of the city to greet the prime minister. Behind Yun Meng, Jiang Ying shouted loudly to the city tower.
"What? That person turned out to be the prime minister of the Qin State, this matter is not trivial, hurry up and tell the lord. When the soldiers on the castle tower heard that it was the legendary god outside the city, they were in a mess for a while.
At this time, Li Yan was discussing with his subordinates the next step to get out. Suddenly, a soldier ran in in a panic and reported to Li Yan: "Lord, there are more than a dozen people outside the city, and the person at the head claims to be Yun Meng, the prime minister of Qin. โ
"What? Did you say Yun Meng came? Li Yan asked with some disbelief,
"Report to the Lord. It was Yun Meng, and they had to go out to greet the lord. The soldier replied
"What does that man look like?" Li Yan asked again, and the soldier described to Li Yan the appearance of the person he saw. After hearing this, Li Yan nodded and said, "It seems that Yun Meng has indeed arrived." โ
Then Li Yanyou asked, "Do you see how many people he has brought?" โ
"The lord is young, he looks carefully, and he really only has a dozen entourages."
"Lord, it seems that Yun Meng has no malice here, he should have made peace with the lord, and now there will be no more disasters to break the city." One of Li Yan's advisers said.
But Li Yan didn't speak, just rolled his eyes around, as if he was calculating something, and then saw Li Yan suddenly raise his head and laugh: "It's really hard to find a place to step on iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it, and such a big piece of fat is simply God helping me." โ
"What do you mean, my lord?" The counsellor asked again.
"What do you mean? Isn't that obvious? Yun Meng thought that I was really going to surrender, he was too arrogant, he didn't take me Li Yan in his eyes at all, and he only brought a dozen guards, if I welcomed him into the city, and then ordered the soldiers who were ambushed around to rush up, he Yun Meng had great ability and could not escape from my palm, when the time comes, there is such an important hostage in hand, who am I afraid of? Does he dare to come? Next, I just need to dedicate Yunmeng to the Great Jin, isn't it up to me to choose the prince and general? After Li Yan finished speaking, there was another burst of laughter.
"The lord is so dangerous! If only ....."
"Shut up! You will disturb the king's mind when you wait, and you will not forgive you if you talk nonsense. Li Yan directly interrupted the strategist's words. When the others saw Li Yan like this, they didn't dare to say more.
Yun Meng and the others waited outside the city for about two quarters of an hour, and suddenly heard three cannon sounds in the city of Caohan, and Jiang Ying and the others behind Yun Meng were about to pull out their blades in response, Yun Meng waved his hand lightly and said softly: "Don't panic, don't startle the snake." โ
Before Yun Meng's words fell, he saw that the gate of the city gate of Caohan opened with a "squeak", and then dozens of people came out of the city, the leader was thin and tall, a white face without a trace of blood, slender eyes, short eyebrows, wearing a golden robe, and a sword hanging from his waist, Yun Meng knew that this person must be Li Yan.
Seeing Li Yan far away, he laughed loudly: "Oops! The prime minister is driving, and he is far away! It's just that Li Yan stopped when he walked seven or eight steps away from Yun Meng, and arched his hand at Yun Mengyi and said: "In the next day, I finally hope that the prime minister will come, and now Li Yan will have something to rely on." Li Yan's eyes were erratic when he spoke, and some of the people who followed behind him looked nervous.
Yun Meng saw it in his eyes but remained silent, and said with a smile: "The general's prestige is like thunder, the general can know the current affairs, turn the war into a jade silk, and it is the luck of the common people to strike the army and make peace, and the general's righteous deeds will be remembered for a hundred years." โ
"Where, where, the prime minister has won the award, everything will depend on the prime minister in the future, this is not a place to speak, and please move to the city to rest." Li Yan made a gesture of please, but at the same time, one hand involuntarily supported the sword in his waist.
All kinds of clues have revealed Li Yan's mind in front of Yun Meng's eyes. Yun Meng smiled and nodded, also made a gesture of please, and then was about to step forward, but Yun Meng only took a step forward and stopped, as if he remembered something and said to Li Yan: "Yun is confused, and he forgot an extremely important thing for a while. Before Yun set out on the expedition, His Majesty my lord asked Yun to bring a few words to talk to the general. โ
"Really? Since His Majesty has an edict, Li Yanding should accept the order. Saying that, Li Yan was about to kneel down to accept the order.
Yun Meng hurriedly stopped and said: "Your Majesty said that the general does not need to be polite, but these few words can only be said and listened to by the general alone, and the matter is very important, please come over with the general." โ
Li Yanleng paused for a moment, looked at Yun Meng again, and thought, "The surname Yun won't cheat, right?" But now that there are so many people on my side, are you still afraid of a dozen or so people? Thinking of this, Li Yan "laughed" and walked aisle, Yun Meng approached, bowed his body, and said, "Prime Minister, please speak!" "Just wait to listen to Yun Meng's message to Fu Jiang.
It's just that Li Yan calculated tens of millions but didn't count this step, just the moment he bowed down to his ears, a figure quickly flashed to Li Yan's side, and then the cold sword rested on Li Yan's neck, Li Yan was defenseless, startled by this sudden scene, and when he reacted, it was too late. On the other side, Li Yan's subordinates saw that the lord was caught in a moment, and they were stunned for a moment, and then they wanted to come to the rescue, but Jiang Ying pressed the sword in his hand down against Li Yan, and shouted at everyone: "If you dare to step forward again, this general will immediately behead Li Yan's dog." In this case, who dared to take another half step forward, and then Yun Meng's entourage took off the bow and arrow behind him, and shot three sentry arrows at the sky, and it didn't take much effort to see the southeast and northwest black pressure to kill countless Qin troops, surround Caohan, and then see that Li Yan had no original domineering, and sat on the ground with a slump of ass, as for the soldiers under his command, Wenwu, seeing that the general trend had gone, he no longer did useless resistance, and all knelt down to ask for surrender......
Qin's capital Chang'an, since Yunmeng captured Luoyang, Jincheng and other places after two years, the good news continued to spread to the Weiyang Palace like snowflakes, the Qiu Chi has been broken, Tuguhun please surrender, Gao Gooli please surrender, collect Liang, Yi Erzhou, Da Liang to destroy the country...... In addition, with the careful assistance of Yun Meng, through a series of internal and external strategies, Fu Jiang further consolidated its rule over the now vast Great Empire, spanning East and West, and a Great Qin Empire has fully emerged.
On this day, the sun is setting, above the palace city of Weiyang Palace, Fu Jiang and Yun Meng are idle, enjoying the red sunset on the horizon together, neither of them spoke, everything is very quiet, only when the wind blows, the sound of hunting from the dancing flag.
"Prime Minister, now that Great Qin is powerful all over the world, and all the people have surrendered, this is all the work of the Prime Minister! I decided to give the prime minister the gift of Jiuxi and add the title of King of Qin. Fu Jiang said first.
Yun Meng turned around and bowed to Fu Jiang with a solemn expression and said: "The minister receives His Majesty's favor, there is no way to repay, just a matter is the duty of a courtier, Your Majesty must not reward again, and ask Your Majesty to take back your life." โ
"However, the prime minister is really a great contribution, if there is no prime minister, where would there be today's Daqin? Please don't shirk the prime minister! Fu Jiang insisted.
Yun Meng shook his head and said, "The courage of a minister to become a confidant with His Majesty is already the greatest reward for a minister, and everything else is too pale compared to it. โ
"Yes, think about how magnificent it was when you and I were in the peach orchard to drink and talk happily, discuss the country, treat each other with all sincerity, advance and retreat together! Think about those days as if they were just yesterday. Fu Jiang also sighed.
Yun Meng smiled faintly, turned to look at the sunset that was gradually sinking into the earth, and fell into silence again, Yun Meng seemed to recall those years, those things and those people.
"It's just that the promise I made to the prime minister back then hasn't been fulfilled! I've been haunted by this for a long time. Fu Jiang said again,
Yun Meng shook his head at Fu Jiang, sighed lightly, and said, "When is the time for retribution." Compared with Li Min and the world's creatures, what are Yunmeng's grievances? The Si people have passed away, so what's the point of dwelling on those past clouds? What should be put down should be put down, and it will be better to forget what should be forgotten! โ
Fu Jiang looked at Yun Meng's back with a little surprise and didn't say anything. At this time, Yun Meng said again: "Your Majesty, please remember what Wei Chen said, dividing the river and ruling it is a superior policy for Daqin, and you must not cross the river to attack Jin." โ
Fu Jiang frowned slightly, then laughed out loud, took a few steps forward, put his hands on the battlements of the city wall, and looked into the distance with a determined expression, but a strange light flashed in his eyes.
I would like to conclude the book with the author's feelings, thank you for your loyal companionship over the years, and look forward to seeing you again in your new work.
The river is surging,
Roll up how many memories of ancient and modern times.
Gumo, barren mounds, ruins, the general has not returned from a hundred battles.
The grass grows, the warbler flies, the monument is broken, and the people of Iraq look at it.
In the peach garden, the talk and laughter lingered.
Thinking back then, the adventures of Central and South China, Jiankang and righteousness,
The banks of the Xunjiang River are sad.
When I dreamed back all night, I realized that everything was empty,
Only tears rippled in their eyes.
