Under the city of Luoyang, at this time, Qin Guolang Zhongling Gong still had the high-spirited appearance when he went out of Hanguguan in the east. Seeing that the Qin army was about to break the city, it suddenly changed. 50,000 Han troops appeared west of Luoyang and launched a fierce attack on the Qin army. There are two paths in front of the Qin army, one is to repel the Korean army in front of them first, and then concentrate on attacking Luoyang; The other is a battle against the water, completely ignoring the attacking Korean army, conquering Luoyang in the shortest possible time and defending the city.

Duke Qi chose the latter, because even Duke Qi was not sure, and after adopting the former's words, after repelling the Korean army in front of him, how much combat power would the Qin army have left. However, with the adoption of the latter, the 20,000 rear troops used to delay the Korean army were naturally more auspicious, but they could leave a certain amount of time for the main force to quickly take Luoyang City. Once the Han army enters Luoyang before it arrives, the Qin army can hold the Han king hostage and force the Han army to retreat!

The only remaining 4,000 remnants of Luoyang City naturally could not withstand the onslaught of 30,000 Qin troops, and only half an hour later, Luoyang City was declared to have changed hands. The Qin army was ecstatic and went straight to the palace, preparing to rob the great merit of capturing the kings of Han and Zhao. But the ideal is plump, the reality is skinny, King Han and King Zhao have already retreated to Yewang, how can the Qin army find a trace of the two in Luoyang City?!

When Duke Qi received the news that his subordinates searched the entire Luoyang City and did not find King Han and King Zhao, Duke Lu was shocked. If there were no King Han and King Zhao as bargaining chips, how could the Qin army retreat with all their bodies?! The 30,000 Han and Zhao coalition troops have been wiped out, and even the hundreds of Han troops who broke through the encirclement were shot down by the pursuers they sent out, and no trace of the king of Han and Zhao was found here. If King Han and King Zhao were not in Luoyang, why should Luoyang garrison 30,000 Han and Zhao allied troops? Therefore, Gong Qi believes that it must be that King Han and King Zhao are hiding too deeply, and it must be that the Qin army is not searching carefully enough. will not find King Han and King Zhao.

Duke Qi demanded that the whole army find out King Han and King Zhao even if they dug three feet into the ground, and every piece of rubble, every well, and every thatched house must not be let go. Many people were scared and trembling, but if they knew the situation in front of Qin Jun. It is easy to understand that the voice of the Duke is very strong.

Because although the rear army fighting with the South Korean army had successfully withdrawn to Luoyang, due to the close pursuit of the South Korean army, the original 20,000 troops turned into thousands of remnants. The Qin army could have easily defeated the Korean army, which was comparable to its own, but in order to conquer Luoyang as much as possible, it made this decision. At such a big price now, if you can't capture King Han and King Zhao, then the Qin army's hard work will be in vain. Therefore, the referendum will not allow defeat and will not accept defeat!

The only remaining 30,000 Qin troops in the entire Luoyang City all began to act. Some were busy repairing the city, some were busy searching for and arresting the kings of Han and Zhao, who did not exist at all, and some were busy transferring and treating the wounded. The people in the city looked at the Qin army who broke into their homes with sincere fear, and carefully allowed them to turn their homes upside down, and the reprimands from next door quickly turned into screams to tell every Luoyang family that the current Qin army must not be provoked or disobeyed!

has been so busy for an hour, and the traces of King Han and King Zhao have still not been found. But the Han army outside the city had already surrounded Luoyang City smoothly. The besiegers and defenders quietly shifted their positions, and their mentality was naturally completely different. The number of Han troops was a little more than Gong Qi imagined. Not only were there 50,000 Korean troops west of Luoyang, but even north of Luoyang and south of Luoyang, there were also 10,000 to 20,000 Korean troops. At this time, everyone knows that Qin Jun. It's already a turtle in an urn. Considering that the Qin army continued to attack Luoyang, Luoyang City was far more dilapidated than ten days ago, and the shape of the Qin army was naturally far more severe than the shape faced by the original 30,000 Han and Zhao coalition armies!

Duke Qi did not sit still, although no trace of King Han and King Zhao had been found in the city. But the problem is that the Korean army outside the city doesn't know either! Duke Qi was sure that King Han and King Zhao must be in Luoyang City, and he could search out the two of them sooner or later! Therefore, after the Han army besieged the city, the Duke of Qi sent people to the Han army camp to warn the Han army, telling them not to act rashly, otherwise, the king of Han would not have to suffer some hardships. Qi Gong just wanted to take advantage of the psychology of the Han army to buy time for himself.

The envoys sent to the camp of the Korean army will go quickly and return quickly! Gong Qi couldn't take care of inspecting the city defenses, so he immediately summoned his henchmen, who were also the envoys he sent.

As soon as the envoy saw the Duke of Qi, he knelt down with a thud, which immediately startled the Duke of Qi, and a bad premonition immediately came to the heart of the Duke of Qi. Sure enough, the messenger then said in a tone of extreme shock and apprehension, "Will...... Checkmate! Han Jun said that King Han was not in Luoyang City at all, if we don't believe it, he can give us another hour to search the whole city! ”

Qi Gong said in disbelief: "How is this possible? ”

At this time, the envoy carefully took out a burden, and said tremblingly as he unfolded it: "General! We've been tricked! This qiē is all an ambush by the South Korean army! These 30,000 Han and Zhao coalition troops are bait at all, just to attract us to Luoyang City. While we were fighting Luoyang, the Korean army quietly occupied Hangu Pass and cut off our retreat! You see, this is the head of Wei Zhi, the guard general of the Wei army in Hangu Pass! ”

Lu Gongdi always felt that his henchmen were bought by the Han army and wanted to mess with his military morale. Therefore, Duke Qi looked at the head on the ground, wanting to see the flaws in Han Jun's lies. But that head is indeed Hangu Guan Wei's fault, just ten days ago, he was still talking and laughing with the owner of the head, but he didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, the old man was in a different place. Wei Yao's head fell into the hands of Han Jun, and Hangu Guan was afraid that it would be more auspicious. At this point, the Duke of Qi has already realized.

But this does not mean that Qi Gong has no doubts, Qi Gong said in a cold tone with a flat expression: "Han Jun really said that? ”

The envoy nodded again and again, and said, "General! Before we could send a letter to Guguan, South Korea received a secret guarantee. The conspiracy between Wei and us is well known to South Korea, but South Korea pretends not to know anything. These 30,000 Han and Zhao allied troops were stranded in Luoyang for fear that we would see the flaws. Korea planned to sacrifice these 30,000 troops from the beginning, but it wanted the 100,000 troops of our Qin State to be buried with them! ”

"Now, Zhao and Chu have joined forces of 300,000 to attack the Great Liang of Wei, and Wei is difficult to protect itself. South Korea sent troops to conquer Hangu Pass, Shaanxi, and Jiaoeryi, cutting off our rear route. Luoyang to the south, to the east. To the north, there are big rivers, and we have no way to escape! ”

"Who said that?" Gong Qi pressed the sword and said, and the killing intent in his heart was suddenly born.

"Li Yi, the county lieutenant of Sanchuan County!" The messenger replied truthfully.

"He? So the lieutenant of Qinshu County? Hum! Gong Qi looked disdainful. King Qin is not thin on the Li family, Li Binggui is the county guard of Shu County, and Li Yigui is the county lieutenant of Shu County, but what is the result? The two turned their backs on the Lord for glory. When the Korean army was pressing, Xiancheng surrendered! Li Bing surrendered when he surrendered, he was already a literati, and South Korea threatened to slaughter the city. But Li Yi was also good with Lu Bus at the beginning, and he was a martial artist, and the state affairs were difficult, so he did not think of generosity and righteousness, so he went to the national disaster, but turned against Chengdu and surrounded it. Gong Qi is deeply ashamed! If Li Yi dies in battle, Duke Qi will inevitably cry and wear filial piety, but now, Duke Qi is deeply hated and ashamed to be a friend!

The envoy nodded, and said with a bitter face: "General! He is also the deputy general of the South Korean army this time! Led the order of the king of Han and commanded the 50,000 Han troops west of Luoyang. General Lee also said that he wanted to meet with the general. The two sides don't bring a single soldier, they just drink and talk! ”

There was no moment's hesitation. Said categorically: "No! Sue him, General Ben is ashamed to see the scum of the traitor seeking glory! ”

The envoy was silent, and the generals around Duke Qi were also silent, and Duke Qi's opposition was expected, but this also showed that Duke Qi admitted that the Qin army had fallen into a dead end. The Qin army lost 70,000 troops, but it only took a dilapidated Luoyang. Put yourself in danger. The great achievement of capturing King Han and King Zhao became a flower in the moon and water in the mirror in a blink of an eye, the back road has been broken, and the Qin army has no way out.

After a while, the envoy plucked up his courage and risked killing his head and admonished: "General, why don't you see General Li." If the general succeeds in persuading General Li to get lost and return to our Qin State, the army may not have no way out! Even if it is to return to Guanzhong through Hedong, it is still an idea. Even if you can't convince General Li, the general will be wronged, and General Li will be able to buy more time to repair the city wall, right? ”

Gong Qi was silent for a long time, admitting in his heart that it was beneficial to meet Li Yi, and the only thing that could not be erased was face. But what is the life and death of the face and the army?! This time I lost in vain, and no one knows how the news leaked out! Duke Qi thought that he had given his full strength, but the problem was that his full strength did not bring victory to the Qin State! At this time, the Qin State could no longer withstand defeat, and it was a general who had to fail. Even if he is lucky enough to return to Guanzhong, even if he is not beheaded by King Qin, he will be assigned to guard the frontier! After all, there must be someone who is responsible for this defeat of the Qin State, and this person cannot be the King of Qin, and the most suitable person can only be himself! Unless, Keqing Cai Ze is willing to stand up and bear this sin!

"That's it! That's it! General Ben will go out and meet him! Qi Gong said tiredly.

"General! No! If this is an ambush set by the South Korean army, and the general is captured at that time, our 30,000-strong army will be leaderless! As soon as he heard this, a Qin military captain immediately objected.

"Yes! It must be Li Yi's kid who wants to disintegrate our army! Generals should not be gullible! People in twos and threes said one after another.

Duke Qi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said awe-inspiringly: "General Ben expects that Li Yi will not be so despicable, otherwise, he will not be able to win." If it is really an ambush of the Korean army, General Ben has not been spared, Vice General Li, you will take over the army in my place! Those who do not obey your orders, below the school captain, can be killed! Rest assured, General Ben will not become a prisoner of the Korean army! ”

"General!" Everyone said with complicated expressions.

"General Ben has made up his mind! Do the generals think that the long sword in the hands of this general is not good? ”

"Whoa!" The generals will have no choice but to answer.

Gong Qi nodded slightly, and asked the envoy, "Where is the meeting place agreed by Li Yi'er?" ”

"Ten miles out of the West Gate, a gazebo. General Li said that he would wait for the general for an hour. ”

"Someone! Change the clothes of the general and prepare the horses! "Lu Gong, who has decided to go to the meeting alone, has always attached great importance to grooming, and at this time, he is even more reluctant to fall behind! Even if the strength is inferior to the Han army, even if he has fallen into the danger of nine deaths and one life, but in terms of momentum, Qi Gong is unwilling to lose to anyone!

The sound of the horse's hooves resounded for only a quarter of an hour, and a man dressed in black and black armor rode to the agreed place. In the pavilion, Li Yi, who was dressed in a white robe, was not wearing armor, a long sword was casually tied around his waist, and in front of him was just a jar of wine, two cups, and a few peach blossoms outside the pavilion. Drink alone.

The sound of horses' hooves seemed to wake Li Yi up, and Li Yi turned around and just saw the solemn face of the Duke dismounted cleanly. With a smile on his face like a peach blossom blooming in April, Li Yi waved it from afar and said, "If the elder brother comes later, this jar of wine will be drunk by the younger brother!" ”

Lu Gong snorted coldly. With a disdainful face, he sat down unceremoniously, poured himself a glass of wine, drank it all, wiped his mouth, and said: "This wine is too sweet, not good, not good!" ”

Li Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Spirits hurt your body!" On this occasion it is a beautiful view. The birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the words of drinking spirits are not in harmony with the scenery. This jar of wine is made from last year's peach blossoms, and it is just right to drink it at this time! The younger brother has never been willing to drink, so he specially left it to his brother! Unexpectedly, my brother didn't like it! Ay! ”

Gong Qi smiled and said, "At this time last year, weren't you still in Shu County?" Isn't it. This jar of fine wine is made from the peach blossoms of Shu County? So. I'd like to have a few more drinks. ”

Li Yi naturally heard that Gong Qi was satirizing himself for betraying his lord for glory, and he didn't argue, but said softly: "Last year's peach blossoms are still there, and the spring breeze doesn't know last year's people!" What is the difference between this peach blossom and whether it is from Shu County or Sanchuan? ”

Gong Qi shook his head and said, "The difference is naturally big!" I'm not a person from the Qin Dynasty. Even if you turn into a peach blossom, you have to grow in the Qin Kingdom! ”

"Qin State!" Li Yi shook his head and asked rhetorically, "Where does this peach blossom grow to be considered the peach blossom of the Qin Kingdom?" ”

Duke Qi was stunned for a moment, and replied as a matter of course: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land." Naturally, it is under the rule of King Qin, and it is for Qin soil! Growing in the soil of Qin, even if it is the peach blossom of the Qin country! ”

Li Yi laughed and said, "If you use my brother's remarks, the place where King Qin's edict can be conveyed is Qin Tu. Now the edict of the king of Qin cannot send a letter to Guguan in the east, and the elder brother is in the land of Korea. I don't know if my brother is a peach blossom, should he be considered from Qin or Korea? ”

Duke Qi was slightly angry, and said angrily: "My heart is to Daqin, no matter where I am, I am the people of Daqin!" Even if he incarnates as a peach blossom and grows in the Han realm, he is also the peach blossom of the Qin Kingdom! ”

Li Yi shook his head disapprovingly, and sighed: "Brother, this is a quibble!" Where does the peach blossom come from? Why does the elder brother even give the peach blossoms to the border? In today's Warring States world, there is a lot of deceit, and there are constant wars! Today, the Qin State will take the South Korean Sanchuan, and tomorrow South Korea will take the Qin State Nanyang, the peach blossoms of the three rivers and Nanyang are not suddenly the peach blossoms of the Qin State, and the peach blossoms of South Korea, isn't it troublesome? ! Peach blossoms aren't that complicated, they're just peach blossoms! Year after year, that's all! ”

"Flowers are flowers, people are people, flowers can't choose where they grow, but people can't be loyal to their country!" Qi Gong retorted.

"Country?" Li Yi smiled even more and said: "Country, country, which is your own country?" As far as Hedong is concerned, it belonged to Wei at first, then belonged to Qin, and returned to Wei seven years ago. Let's talk about the people of the three Jin Dynasty, they are from the root of the Jin people, but the elder brother asks them now, how many of them still miss the Jin Kingdom?! Take the Qin State as an example, the original territory of the Qin State was originally a hundred miles of land in Longyou, and the people of Xianyang today are hundreds of years ago, how many people will think that they are from the Qin State? ! ”

Gong Qi was silent, and he didn't know how to argue for a while. Li Yi continued: "Shang Ying is a patriot, but he is used by Qin Xiaogong, and Great Qin is a hundred years strong. However, no one in this world accuses Shang Ying of not serving the country, saying that Shang Yang is disloyal, why? After the destruction of Zheng Guo in Korea, Shen Bu did not think about recovering Zheng Guo, but assisted Han Zhaohou to change the law and try to become stronger, so that the princes of the world did not dare to underestimate Korea. However, no one in this world accuses Shin of being unfaithful and unjust, but there are many people who praise him. ”

Duke Qi reacted at this time and said: "You can't say that, Wei Guo doesn't know the talent of Shang Ying, so he is used by my Great Qin." Zheng Guo didn't know that Shen was not harmful, so he cheapened South Korea. For the courtiers, which king and which country has the grace to know him, the courtier should be loyal to this country, such as Shang Yang to Qin, Shen Bu to Korea. ”

Li Yi actually nodded and agreed: "Brother Gaojian! However, in the opinion of the younger brother, Shang Ying was able to display his talents in the Qin State, and Shen Bu Harm emerged in South Korea, not only because Qin Xiaogong and Han Zhaohou knew people and made good use of them, but also because Shang Ying and Shen Bu were not harmful. At that time, the defense of the country was only a hundred miles away, even if the law was changed, how strong could it be? In the land of the four wars of the Patriotic Nation, I am afraid that as soon as the law is changed, under the internal turmoil, other countries will annex the Patriotic Country! On the contrary, the Qin State at that time was defeated one after another, and Qin Xiaogong had the intention of working hard, and the Qin State was far away from the Central Plains according to the Central Plains, and was not valued by the Central Plains countries at that time, so it could be successful. When South Korea destroyed Zheng, Shen Buxian was already an official, and with Shen Buxian's talent, it was enough to persuade Zheng Kang to change the law to become strong, although it could not prevent South Korea from destroying Zheng, but it was also enough to protect Zheng Guosheji for more than ten years. However, Shen Buxian didn't do this, but what? It is because Shen Buharm saw that the fall of Zheng Guo was the general trend of the world, and it was useless to redeem it! Therefore, if you want to succeed, you must follow the general trend! Otherwise, there will be nothing to do in life! (To be continued......)
