Chapter 33: In the Red Chamber
An hour later.
Meng Tian took more than 30,000 Jiuyuan Jingqi to gallop all the way without stopping, and took the lead in rushing to the city of Julu.
Giant deer, Tang Yao Zen Yu Shun is here. It has always been a battleground for soldiers. Originally, it was here that Zhang Han was defeated by Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, so that Daqin lost the last bit of support and quickly collapsed.
Therefore, there are five major counties in the territory of Zhao, from north to south: Yunzhong County, Yanmen County, Dai County, Shangdang County, and Anping County (bordering Qi and Yan).
Among the five major counties, Shangdang County is the only one in the west, stretching for thousands of miles from north to south, almost covering the entire western part of Zhao State, Hanoi is located in the southwest abdomen of Zhao State, and the undulating mountains and mountains of Taihang Mountain have created Taihang Bashan.
The second fortress of Hanoi is the Taihang fortress, the third fortress of Bai Cheng and the Jingcheng fortress of Shangdang are the three major fortress barriers in the west and south of the ancient Zhao, and the capture of these three fortresses can go directly to Handan, the capital of the ancient Zhao State.
And Anping County, which is only a hundred miles away from Handan, is the last and last barrier in the north and east of Zhao State, so Zhao State built Julu Fortress here.
The state of Zhao was destroyed by Great Qin, and Anping County was immediately revoked. The First Emperor ordered the demolition of the fortresses originally built by the Six Kingdoms in the territory of Great Qin, and Julu, as the newly established seat of Julu County, was not demolished, but was reinforced.
The giant deer with a deep ditch and a wide city is just an unattainable fat meat for Meng Tian's 30,000 cavalry. I could see it but I couldn't touch it, and the 30,000 original elite cavalry came with light soldiers, and they didn't carry any large-scale siege equipment at all, so they could only wait until the more than 10,000 foot soldiers carrying baggage arrived behind to start the siege.
Originally, Meng Tian was mentally prepared to bear the huge casualties suffered by the Jiuyuan Army under this giant deer city again, but to his surprise, there was not a single soldier guarding the city on the tall giant deer city wall, as if it was an empty city.
Just as Meng Tian waved his hand to stop the army, the originally closed gate of Julu City slowly opened with a rumbling sound.
As the city gate opened, a middle-aged man wearing a high crown and a green robe was the first to walk out.
Behind him were a large number of tied officials wearing various colored robes and crowns, but at the front was a young man wearing a brocade robe with a jade belt around his waist and a crown of balances, and he was the only one who was not tied.
Although the tens of thousands of Jiuyuan elite horsemen sitting on war horses outside the city did not know what was happening in this giant deer city, it was obvious that the giant deer had surrendered, and it seemed that the middle-aged man who was at the forefront had wiped out the king and officials of Xinzhao.
The more than 100 remnants of the old Zhao clan who were tied up looked at the black palpitations of the heart outside the city that radiated a cold glow in the sun, and their faces suddenly turned to ashes.
Although when the Jiuyuan Army galloped over, they were already mentally prepared when they heard the rapid sound of thunderous horses' hooves in the corridor of the city wall, but now when they really faced these tens of thousands of black-armored Great Qin Elite Riders so closely, they knew that fear had been hidden in the deepest part of their hearts.
Pang Xin looked at the tens of thousands of Jiuyuan Jingqi who stood still like a sculpture a hundred steps away, and secretly sighed that Li Zuoche was not unjustly lost. Then he straightened his robe and strode towards Meng Tian, who was riding a horse under the front of the formation.
"Therefore, the son of General Zhao Pang Xuan, the criminal minister Pang Xin, visited Lord Meng Tian!"
After more than ten steps, Pang Xin said deeply to Meng Tian, who was sitting under the tooth flag.
"Pang Nuan's son?" Meng Tian's expression moved, and he asked slowly.
"General Hui, it's the guilty minister!" Pang Xin stood up and said.
"Why is that?" Meng Tian stared at Pang Xin for a while, didn't dwell on the question anymore, raised his hand and pointed to the city gate and asked.
"General, this is the remnants of Zhao State, and the leader is the new Wang Xie of Zhao State who was restored by Li Zuoche! When the criminal heard that the general was leading the army in person, he had already tied up all of them to sacrifice the general! Pang Xin said.
Meng Tian groaned for a while and said slowly: "You are good at Qin's merits this time, and this general should be your majesty." Immediately, Meng Tian did not say much more and ordered in a deep voice: "Take down a kind of thief, that is, send it to Xianyang to dedicate it to Your Majesty!" ”
"Whoa!"
The guards around him suddenly rushed out hundreds of horses to take over Zhao Wangxi and others, Pang Xin didn't tie up Zhao Wangxie because he didn't care about face, and the Jiuyuan Army naturally wouldn't give Zhao Wangxie face, and after a while, more than 100 people were tied up again and taken aside.
In the whole process, whether it was Zhao Wangxie or the more than 100 old Zhao relics, no one made any moves, and the face was obedient and obedient to the Jiuyuan Army, and it was obvious that he had been appointed.
Seeing that the guards had already brought Zhao Wangxi and others to the army, Meng Tian waved his hand and said: "Qian Liang's troops entered the city with this general to appease the people and give His Majesty's edict, and the rest of the army camped on the spot. All soldiers are not allowed to disturb the people, and those who violate it will be beheaded! ”
"Whoa!"
Meng Tian turned his head to Pang Xin and said, "Are there still soldiers in the city?" Is the original county magistrate still there? ”
"Back to the general, there are still 100,000 soldiers in the city, but they are all soldiers with incomplete armor and weapons, and they all have the heart to return to Great Qin, I hope the general can let them go!" All the officials of the original Great Qin have been killed! Pang Xin hurriedly said, paused and continued: "There is still something to tell the general. ”
"What else?" Meng Tian asked with a slight smile.
"Xiangguo...... A day ago, Li Zuoche sent his henchmen to lead an army of 50,000 to Linzi to seize the grain of the warehouse! ”
"Is that so?" Meng Tian said in surprise.
"The general doesn't need to worry, in addition to the main general, many other generals and criminal ministers in this army have old ones, and the criminal ministers are willing to go and persuade them in person, and these generals will be able to surrender to Qin." Pang Xin said unhurriedly.
Meng Tian took a deep look at Pang Xin and said slowly: "If this is really the case, I will personally ask Your Majesty for your merits." ”
"Thank you, General!"
"Wang Chan!" Meng Tian said loudly.
"The last general!" A middle-aged general stepped out of the crowd and bowed down on his horse.
"You don't need to set up camp, immediately follow Pang Xin to Linzi to relieve the danger of the warehouse. Along the way, they obeyed Pang Xin's orders and must not be violated. ”
"Whoa!" Wang Chan answered, and then asked, "General, what should we do if Lord Pang Xin can't persuade this rebellious army?" ”
"Kill!" Meng Tian said coldly. "But Pang Xin, you have to bring back the giant deer safely!"
"Whoa!" Wang Chan heard Meng Tian's words and hurriedly said excitedly.
Pang Xin, who was on the side, couldn't help but feel cold when he heard Meng Tian's cold word "kill".
"Ben will hand over the letter eagle and the eagle warrior given by His Majesty to Yu Er, Ming said. I was going to see your letter. Go ahead! After Meng Tian finished speaking, he stopped speaking, and rode his horse to lead Qian Liang's more than 10,000 Nine Primordial Essence to ride into the Julu Fortress.
……
On the night of April 28 in the first year of Great Qin II.
Since Meng Tian, the general of Jiuyuan, led the army north to quell the rebellion in Julu, Handan City has regained its vitality. Even at night, some special places are still brightly lit.
People come and go at the door of a giant mansion in the east of Handan City, and three three-story bamboo buildings with unique shapes are reflected in the lush bamboo forest. The two green buildings are slim and smiling. The Red Mansion, on the other hand, was silent.
The silent top floor of the Red Mansion!
"Smack!"
The wine splashed, and a delicate and small bronze wine bottle fell out from behind a beaded curtain made of pearls, rolled on the ground a few times, and finally stopped at the feet of a middle-aged man in Tsing Yi who was standing outside the bead curtain.
"Pang Xin is really damned! Truly damn it! Li Zuoche is also really damned! ”
A mature female voice with gritted teeth and a slight hoarse voice sounded from the inner room behind the bead curtain, with a hint of flattery in the hoarse voice, which had a unique charm, but the killing intent in the tone made people shudder.
Hearing this female voice, the middle-aged man in Tsing Yi outside the bead curtain trembled, and then bowed deeper.
"Have King Zhao and those fools been sacrificed to Meng Tian by Pang Xin's rebellion?"
As if to calm down her mood, the girl sounded again after a long time, and although her words were still cold, they were obviously not as exposed and murderous as before.
"Back to the master, it is true!" The middle-aged man in Tsing Yi said in a low voice.
"Smack!"
Another bronze wine bottle was thrown out, and it was smashing at the feet of the middle-aged man in Tsing Yi, and the spilled wine suddenly made a wine stain on his clothes legs. The middle-aged man in Tsing Yi didn't move, like a puppet.
"Go! Take off Pang Xin's head! ”
A hoarse female voice came faintly from behind the beaded curtain.
The middle-aged man's body couldn't help but shake when he heard this, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he didn't know where Pang Xin was now. The news that Xizuo came back was also that Pang Xin had not been seen back at all since Meng Tian's army entered the city.
It is definitely impossible for Xizuo to know where Pang Xin is, because Pang Xin went out of the city with less than a cup of tea, and directly followed Wang Chan's 20,000 fine horses to the east to Linzi.
But this middle-aged man didn't dare to say no, he knew too well the methods of this woman behind the bead curtain, if he said no now, then he would be the first to be taken off the head in the next moment.
"What? Can't do it? "The husky girl began to become elegant, even a little excited, like a cat meeting a mouse.
The middle-aged man in Tsing Yi suddenly turned pale when he heard the woman's words, and said in a loud voice: "The villain has done it, the villain has done it!" ”
"Can it really be done? Then go, I want to see Pang Xin's head in ten days! Otherwise...... Giggle," the woman chuckled.
Although the woman didn't say what would happen otherwise, the middle-aged man in Tsing Yi, who had seen it countless times with her own eyes and even carried it out with her own hands, understood very well what it meant.
"The villain retires!"
The middle-aged man in Tsing Yi didn't care about wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly retreated.
The sound of pouring wine came from inside the beaded curtain, and it was obvious that the woman behind the beaded curtain had taken the wine bottle again and began to drink herself.
Long.
"Can you rescue that Zhao Wangxi and those fools?" The woman's voice came from behind the beaded curtain again.
After a while.
"Difficult!" An ethereal male voice sounded in the lobby, only hearing its voice, but seeing people.
"Difficult? Is there a way to do it? The female voice behind the beaded curtain suddenly became excited.
There was silence in the lobby, as if the woman's words had not been heard.
"A useless person, a bunch of fools who only know how to fight for power and profit, why should they be saved?"
