Changguo, located less than 100 miles west of Linzi, can be called the last gateway to the west of Linzi.

Zhou Yafu took the surrender of the general Shen Tujia as his leader, and forced the Changguo County Order without bloodshed, however, the combined forces of Han, Han and Zhao had just entered the county seat of Changguo, and an astonishing news suddenly spread to the army.

"What did you say?!" Zhou Yafu grabbed the iron sword dead soldier who rushed to report the news, and roared in disbelief, "Linzi was captured by the Chu army first?!" How is this possible? How is this possible? How is this possible?! Zhou Yafu repeated three sentences in a row that it was impossible, which shows that he categorically cannot accept such a result.

General Zhao Bai Yan also said in disbelief: "I just received an urgent report yesterday, the Chu army has just arrived in Boyang, and there are still more than two hundred miles away from Lixiadu, how could they rush to Linzi overnight?" ”

The iron sword dead soldier who reported the news smiled bitterly: "The two generals don't know that the Chu army turned over from East Taishan. ”

"East Tarzan?" Zhou Yafu's heart sank, and he said in a deep voice, "I understand, I understand everything!" I said why is the marching speed of the Chu army so slow, it turns out that this is just a trick, this is just a trick. After a pause, Zhou Yafu suddenly said again, "No, it's still not right, if you cross East Taishan, there will be three or five thousand people at most, how can you take Linzi?" ”

"This villain doesn't know very well." The Iron Sword Dead Man smiled bitterly, "Anyway, last night there was a whole night of fighting in and out of Linzi City, and the fire also burned all night, in short, Linzi has fallen, Zhao Xi, the general of Qi State, has surrendered, and Han Qi, the king of Qi, has also sacrificed Linzi City." ”

"What? Han He also dropped? Zhou Yafu's young and handsome face suddenly turned blue, what the hell is this called? The combined forces of Han, Han, and Zhao tried their best to lure out the main force of Shen Tujia's Qi army, but let the Chu army pick up a big bargain from behind? This dark loss, the coalition army suffered a lot.

Moreover, Han Qi's dedication to the city, doesn't it mean that the jade seal of King Qin also fell into the hands of the Chu army?

Before leaving, the prime minister repeatedly told himself that he must not let the Chu army attack Linzi first, especially the Qin King Yuxi must not fall into the hands of the Chu army, otherwise. The consequences will be very serious, the prime minister's words are still in his ears, but the Chu army here has already taken Linzi first, and Han He has really surrendered, this soft bone!

However, this matter must not be left alone, and a way must be found to save the situation.

When Yafu called Shen Tujia, Bai Yan, Han Ju and Tian Yu to him next week, he ordered him like this. The generals responded one after another, and each took his own order.

In the small city of Linzi, it is now full of Chu troops.

As for the forbidden army of Qi that was originally stationed in the small city, it was moved to the big city, and the 30,000 troops of Zhao Xi, the general of the Qi state, were also moved to the big city from outside the city.

Xiang Zheng made such an arrangement, which was also for the sake of prudence.

Taifu once said that you can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't have the heart to prevent people.

Although Han Qi had surrendered, Zhao Xi, Lou Jing and Qi Di Haoqiang had also shown enough goodwill to the Chu State. But in any case, the forbidden army stationed in Linzi was only 3,000 people, so the situation in Linzi was still quite delicate. At least until the arrival of the Chu army, everything is still uncertain.

Although the Chu army occupied the small city, Xiang Zheng did not rush into the palace.

This is also Xiang Zheng smart enough, he will never rashly touch Qi Ren's sensitive and fragile nerve at this time.

Xiang Zheng just recruited the lieutenant of the forbidden army of Qi as his temporary line, this will, Xiang Zheng is in his temporary line banquet Emperor Xun Han Qi, Qi Xiang Lou Jing, General Zhao Xi and more than a dozen Qi Haoqiang, at the banquet, the guests and hosts talked very happily, but it is difficult to hide the bitterness and loneliness revealed between Han Qi Meiyu.

If you have a choice. Of course, Han He was unwilling to abdicate his position, let alone surrender.

But it's a pity that Han Qi didn't have a choice at all, don't look at the fact that the small city of Linzi had not been lost at that time, and there were also 5,000 elite forbidden troops stationed in the small city. But this is useless at all, because the more than 5,000 forbidden troops are all Linzi people, and the Chu army only summoned hundreds of rural elders, and the forbidden army began to waver.

…,

The reason why the Chu army was able to capture Linzi was not only by military force. Relying more on the will of the people, Han Xin, Han Xin, Han Qiang, father and son's behavior of disregarding the will of the people and drying up the water and fishing finally bear bitter fruit today, and the Chu State has spared no effort to win over and infiltrate the powerful and powerful for more than ten years has finally reaped rich rewards.

Therefore, it is no accident that the result is today.

As soon as the military spirit of the forbidden army of the Qi State was shaken, Han Qi had no capital to resist stubbornly.

Escaping to Linqu has also become delusional, without the protection of the forbidden army, he can get out of Linzi and Linqu alone? Even if the Chu army didn't come to intercept him, the bandits along the way alone could kill him.

So in the end, Han Qi reluctantly sacrificed the city and surrendered to the Chu army.

Seeing Han Qi's face full of bitterness and loneliness, Xiang Zheng felt that the heat was almost over, and immediately said: "King Qi, if this prince is not mistaken, your ancestor should be Huaiyin, right?" "Han Yu had already issued an edict to abdicate the throne at the same time as he surrendered, and Xiang Zheng called him the king of Qi, just out of politeness.

Han Qi hurriedly knelt down and got up, and replied respectfully.

Now as a prisoner, life and death are all in the minds of others, Han Qi can't be disrespectful, although it is a great achievement to offer the jade seal of King Qin, but who knows what the father and son of the Xiang family think? If Xiang Zhuang thinks that he is a hidden danger, so he orders Xiang Zheng to assassinate him, it is impossible for Qi Dihao to ask for his life?

Xiang Zheng smiled and waved his hand and said: "King Qi doesn't have to be like this, this prince has already played his father, and he has named you the Marquis of Huaiyin, if there is no accident, my father should not reject this prince's performance." ”

Of course, Xiang Zhuang will not reject Xiang Zheng's performance, in fact, this is simply Xiang Zhuang's instructions.

Because in Xiang Zhuang's eyes, Han Que is not a character at all, and it is a matter of one sentence to let him live and let him die, the reason why he wants to crown Han Que as the Marquis of Huaiyin is to buy the hearts of the people of Qi and win a reputation of benevolence and righteousness.

The will of the people and the army have always been the two sharp weapons in the hands of the rulers, and one is indispensable.

One of the most realistic considerations is that if Xiang Zhuang kills Han Yu now, of course the Qi people will not say anything, but they will inevitably think in their hearts that Xiang Zhuang is actually another Xiang Yu, brutal and unkind, then one day in the future Xiang Zhuang wants to be the emperor, and the Qi people are likely to rebel against him, because they are afraid and worried.

However, if Xiang Zhuang had a reputation for benevolence and righteousness, the result might have been different.

Sure enough, as soon as Xiang Zheng's words came out, Lou Jing, Zhao Xi and Qi Di Haoqiang present were all moved, even Han Yu was also a little surprised, and immediately got up and shook Xiang Zhengchang to the ground, and said very sincerely: "The King of Chu is benevolent and righteous, Xiaohou admires, recalling all the previous criticisms of Chu State, Xiaohou is deeply ashamed and embarrassed, and he has no place to be ashamed." ”

In this remark, Han Qi said sincerely, he thought that he would not even be able to protect his life, but he never thought that he could still be a marquis, and he was the Marquis of Huaiyin, where his ancestors lived, no matter what, this can be regarded as a return to his hometown.

Zhao Xi, Lou Jing and a dozen heroes also knelt down and stood up, praising the righteousness of King Chu.

Xiang Zheng saw the reactions of Han Qi, Lou Jing, Zhao Xi and others in his eyes, but he really felt a little emotional in his heart, if he wanted to take over the power from his father and become a qualified king, he still had a lot to learn, such as Han Qi, Xiang Zheng didn't want to kill him, but he didn't expect to make him the Marquis of Huaiyin, so I have to say that Jiang is still old and spicy.

Until he walked out of the palace, Tian Heng still suspected that he was in a dream.

Since he was expelled from Linzi by the infant, Tian Heng has always dreamed of killing back to Qi and becoming the king again, for this lifelong wish, he is also preparing and working hard all the time, but unfortunately, Xiang Zhuang did not give him the opportunity to lead the army alone, Tian Heng knew that Xiang Zhuang was guarding against him.

Without Xiang Zhuang's nod, Tian Heng knew that he had no chance at all.

…,

However, just when Tian Heng was about to despair, happiness suddenly fell from the sky, and he thought that he was summoned to the palace this time, just because Xiang Zhuang wanted to ask him about the situation of the Qi clan, but he never thought that Xiang Zhuang would take the initiative to restore his throne, it was the king of Qi, the king of Qi!

At this moment, Tian Heng really wanted to look up to the sky and laugh three times, his long-cherished wish for many years was realized, could he not be excited?

However, Tian Heng still tried to restrain his emotions, because he could feel that there was a pair of cold eyes behind him who were secretly staring at him, watching his every move, but if there was any rash move, he was afraid that it would immediately reach Xiang Zhuang's ears, Xuanyiwei, everywhere.

Returning to the mansion in a daze, Tian Rui and Zi also heard the news.

"Uncle, does the King of Chu really want to restore your throne?" Tian Rui couldn't wait to say, "And it's still the King of Qi?" ”

It is impossible not to be excited, and it is impossible not to be anxious, because Tian Heng has no children under his knees, and there is only such a nephew as him, if Tian Heng restores the throne, then he Tian Rui is the prince who will not give up, take a step back, even if Tian Heng has a prince in the future, he can at least get a general.

Zidu was faintly worried, frowned and said, "Lord, the king of Chu shouldn't be testing you, right?" ”

"Probably not." Tian Heng shook his head and said in a deep voice, "When the King of Chu first proposed this proposal, I insisted that I would not accept it, if the King of Chu was just tempting, why should he insist on it again and again? ”

"That's weird." Zidu said, "The king of Chu has been guarding against the lord all these years, why is it abnormal this time?" ”

"Hey, why do you want to do so much?" Tian Shao took the case and said loudly, "It doesn't matter if he is a temptation or not, as long as my uncle returns to Qidi, it will be the fish returning to the sea and the dragon diving into the nine abysses, heh, at that time, the king of Chu couldn't change his hexagram even if he wanted to." ”

Tian Heng's eyes were also shining, and he couldn't wait to leave for Qi now, but this was obviously impossible, Xiang Zhuang told him that it was impossible for him to go to the country before the situation in Qi was clear.
