Although it was the day of 39, Zhang Er's forehead was covered with beads of sweat. His face tensed, his lips clenched, and it was obvious that he was struggling fiercely in his heart.

Waving his sleeves to wipe away the sweat beads, Zhang Er said with some unwillingness; "But teacher, the Qin people insulted me very deeply and the Zhao people were very deep, first there was Changping, and then there was Handan, all of them were as deep as the sea. You and I are both Zhao people, if you take refuge in the Qin people, won't you be ridiculed by the world? ”

"Besides, although I have fallen so far, after all, I was once a prince, and now I have the soldiers of Yandi, commanding the four counties of Yandi, if I surrender Han Xin like this, I am really unwilling! The students thought that although Han Xin was in power, he was not necessarily the true master of the world, and Xiang Yu of the Central Plains was undefeated for a day, and the ownership of the world had not yet settled. It's better for us to insist on it, now that Zhao Xie is defeated, the southern forces are still in the red, and the Han Guang students in the north can also find ways to make him stand on our side, maybe Zhao still has some vitality, what do you think, teacher? ”

Shan Wu didn't answer directly, just raised his head and glanced at Zhang Er lightly, "You are not a person who does not know the times, so why should you deceive yourself." Although Xiang Yu is here, Liu Bang still exists, and the princes who call themselves in the world add up to as many as carp crossing the river, but which one do you think will be the destiny of heaven? I Shan Wu has no good impression of the Qin State, on the contrary, my relatives all died at the hands of the Qin people, and I hate the Qin State to the bone in terms of personal feelings, but I still want to persuade you to surrender to the Qin State, why not? ”

"Because I am the ink master, the purpose of the ink master is to love the world and eliminate the lack of signs. If the world can be governed, what is my personal grievances and hatred? Xiang Yu and Liu Bang and others, a tyrannical and wanton slaughter of the city, regard the common people in the world as grass mustard; A fame, reputation, fake benevolence and false righteousness, Tian treats him like a brother, but he seeks to rob others of their inheritance. For the sake of selfish interests, these people will definitely ignore the life and death of the common people, and try every means to fight their opponents, so that even if the world is decided, it will be ten rooms and nine emptiness. ”

"On the other hand, Han Xin, although I have not had a deep friendship with him, but looking at his deeds and listening to his words, I can feel that this person is the hero of the world, and his breadth of mind is by no means comparable to Xiang Yu and Liu Bang. It can be seen from his attitude towards the hundreds of schools of thought in Xianyang, as soon as the order to lift the ban on auditions was issued, the students in Kanto all high-fived each other and threw themselves into Guanzhong. I also got a letter from Juzi, saying that this person can entrust the world, so I came here to persuade you to follow the general trend of the world and surrender to the Qin State. ”

Zhang Er wiped the beads of sweat, "Teacher, this matter is very important, let me think about it again, think about it again." ”

Shan Wu's eyes widened angrily, and Huo Ran shouted; "Zhang Er, if you are obsessed with it again, you will ignore the people of Yandi for your own selfishness. I, Shan Wu, will no longer recognize you as a disciple from now on, and the Mo family will do their best to help Han Xin eradicate you. ”

Zhang Er was shocked, his face kept twitching, his expression was full of pain, and he finally sighed, "That's it, I, Zhang Er, am not strong against Zhao Guo, but it is better to protect the safety of the people as the teacher said." ”

…….

Zhang Er's easy surrender was somewhat unexpected by Han Xin, he originally heard Xin Ju mention Shan Wu, but he just had the idea of giving it a try. According to his thoughts, although Shan Wu once had a great favor to Zhang Er, Zhang Er was a hero in the troubled times after all, and even if he valued love and righteousness, he would not exceed his ambition for power. So he invited Shan Wu to come, just to try to persuade Zhang Er to surrender, even if he doesn't surrender now, he will surrender when the grain and grass run out in the future.

I thought that Zhang Er was a prince, and even if he had the heart to return to obedience, he would judge the situation and wait and see for a while before making a decision. After all, although Han Xin now occupies the northern part of Zhao State, his foothold is still unstable, and the connection with the rear of Qin State is not smooth.

But Zhang Er listened to Shan Wu's words and surrendered to himself so easily, which made Han Xin a little unexpected, and at the same time he also had a new understanding of the status of the Mo family in the hearts of scholars. secretly pinched a sweat, fortunately, the Mo family chose to support themselves, not Xiang Yu or Liu Bang, otherwise it would be a headache.

After receiving the news that Zhang Er was willing to surrender, Han Xin was worried that something would happen after a long time, so he immediately ordered a thousand personal soldiers and galloped to the city gate to accept Zhang Er's surrender.

Outside the city gate, Zhang Ermian stood up calmly, surrounded by Shan Wu and a group of Yan Zhao generals.

More than 1,000 Qin cavalry swept over, bringing up a snowflake in the sky, although there were only more than 1,000 people, but the momentum was like a rainbow, and the momentum was terrifying.

Zhang Er couldn't help but squint his eyes, and secretly praised in his heart. This team of Qin troops was still galloping at high speed, but it was orderly, and the distance between them was not chaotic at all. In addition, the saddle armor soldiers are all available, and the mounts under the crotch are tall and high-spirited, and at first glance it is an elite division of a hundred battles. Although he is scheming, leading troops is not his strong point, and most of the soldiers he commands are rabble people who rush into the army, so it seems reasonable that he was defeated by Han Xin.

The leader of the horse was none other than Qin Jiang, a member of the red cloak, who squinted his eyes and watched the knight gallop to the horse only a foot in front of him, and the more than 1,000 knights behind him instantly pulled the horse and stopped, and their actions were neat and consistent, which showed that they were well-trained.

The Qin general smiled and didn't speak, just straightened up and looked at Zhang Er condescendingly on his horse. Zhang Er looked at this person's heroic young appearance, smiling but not angry, and no one dared to go hand in hand with more than a thousand riders behind him. Although he had never seen Han Xin, Zhang Er intuitively sensed that this Qin general was Han Xin, so he opened his mouth and asked; "You're Han Shin?"

A Qin soldier beside Han Xin shouted; "Bold, even calling the general by name."

As soon as the words fell, a thousand cavalrymen behind him pulled the reins of their horses and shouted in unison. The horse raised its hooves in the air, and a snowflake fell heavily. The order was the same, and the aura of slaughter collapsed instantly, and all the generals couldn't help but change color in unison, and many people even took a few steps back in fear.

Han Xin raised his hand, signaled left and right to silence, leaned down slightly and looked at Zhang Er with a smile, and said; "It's me, I don't know what King Changshan has to say."

Han Xin and Zhang Er exchanged glances, looking at each other for a long time, and finally Zhang Er looked away, bowed his head and knelt down on one knee, "Zhang Er, the criminal minister, I have seen the general." Er has returned to Daqin today, please don't mention the name of the mountain king again. ”

Han Xin nodded, obviously satisfied with Zhang Er's posture, looked Zhang Er up and down, and saw that he was nearly middle-aged, and his temples were faintly white, although he was only wearing a white-washed robe, but his face was calm, and he did not show any panic. Then he smiled and said: "It is really a wise move for King Changshan to abandon the darkness and surrender to my Great Qin, and it is also a blessing for the people of Zhao and Yan." I am ordered by the King of Qin to worship you as a young master, lead the Yuyang County Guard, and control the affairs of the three counties of Beiping, Liaodong, and Liaoxi. ”

Zhang Er was amused in his heart, the King of Qin was thousands of miles away in Xianyang, and he would never know that the prophet knew that he Zhang Er was going to return to the Qin State half a month earlier. Therefore, the high-sounding "on the orders of the King of Qin" in Han Xin's mouth is pure nonsense, and it is simply his will to reward the King of Qin casually. In fact, although the position of the young master has honors, it is a false position, and only the position of Yuyang County to control the four counties of Yandi is the real power, which also represents Han Xin's acquiescence to his jurisdiction over Yandi.

Therefore, although he knew that Han Xin was pretending to be the king of Qin, he still bowed down and thanked him in a decent manner. "Your Majesty thanks you for the reward."

Han Xin nodded with satisfaction, and raised his hand to support him, "Young Master Zhang, please get up." ”

Zhang Er stood up, Han Xin looked at the generals behind Zhang Er again, and said with a smile; "Colleagues, because I am not very familiar with you, I will reward you after asking Young Master Zhang. Rest assured, now that the land of Zhao Yan is newly determined, there is an urgent need for experienced generals and ministers to govern all parts of my Great Qin, so if you really submit to my Great Qin and have no dissenting intentions, I Han Xin swear here today that I will never live up to your talents. ”

Hearing Han Xin's promise, all the generals relaxed and knelt down and shouted; "Thank you, General."

Zhang Er saw that Han Xin only said a few words, so he subdued most of his subordinates' hearts, and couldn't help but secretly admire. frowned, and suddenly stretched out his hand to make an invitation; "Please also ask the general to enter the city and take charge of the city's affairs."

The atmosphere suddenly froze, and several generals and captains of the Qin army looked tense, and their eyes showed murderous aura, while the generals showed panic on their faces, and they complained about Zhang Er's temporary intentions in their hearts.

You must know that there are still nearly 40,000 Yan troops in the city, and Han Xin only has less than 1,000 light horsemen around him, if he agrees to enter the city, wouldn't it be a risk, what if he has a different heart?

And if Han Xin didn't dare to enter, or find an excuse to shirk it, it would inevitably fall into his momentum, and the momentum he had just created would suddenly be a few points shorter, and he would be looked down upon by these Yan Zhao generals in his heart.

Shan Wu, who had not spoken beside him, couldn't help frowning, knowing that Zhang Er was arrogant again, and Cheng wanted to embarrass Han Xin, but he didn't want to change his mind halfway and want to be unfavorable to Han Xin.

Worried that Han Xin would be suspicious, Shan Wu wanted to open his mouth, but unexpectedly Han Xin smiled first; "That's fine." After saying that, with a wave of the horsewhip, the war horse crossed by Zhang Er and went straight to the city, and then more than a thousand cavalry followed into the city without thinking, leaving only a group of generals who avoided on both sides with stunned faces.

In the Yanwang Mansion of Jicheng, a thick pile of book scrolls was piled up in the hall, and Zhang Er introduced to Han Xin on the side what these differences were. Han Xin listened carefully, while instructing the clerk next to him to carefully write down what he said.

Although Yan is a small country with a vast area and sparsely populated population, after all, there are several counties, and after these handovers are completed, nearly an hour has passed.

Originally in a dangerous situation, Han Xin's guards were very nervous one by one, surrounded the three layers of the outer three layers of the Yan Wang's mansion, dismounted their sabers and bows in their hands, and occupied all the important places in the mansion to wait. It wasn't until the follow-up Qin army entered the city one after another to take over the defense of the city that this personal guard slowed down a little as if facing the enemy.

Finally received the thick pile of book scrolls, Han Xin breathed a sigh of relief, these dense books written by Yan Seal almost made him dizzy, but many of them were materials that he urgently needed.

When he looked up, he saw Zhang Er looking at him with a strange expression, so he asked; "What does Young Master Zhang have to say?"

Zhang Er bowed, "I don't dare to see the teaching, but I have a question in my heart, and I hope that the general will not answer the doubt." ”

Han Xin waved his hand, "Why don't you understand, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Just open your ears and groan, and say truthfully; "Jicheng is newly surrendered, the army's heart is not stable, I am very curious why the general has the courage to dare to go alone, is he not afraid of fraud? You must know that you are the mainstay of the Qin State, if you go, I believe that the Qin State will inevitably cause chaos, what does the general think? ”

Han Xin smiled, "Yes, what you said is very true, if I suddenly die in Jicheng, there will definitely be civil strife in the Qin Kingdom, and it will be a good opportunity for you at that time." “

Zhang Er raised his eyebrows, and his heart was even more puzzled; "Then why are you ......?"

"It's simple." Han Xin said categorically. "I have heard that the Zhao people value faith and righteousness, and the Mo family is even more of a promise, with Mr. Shan as a guarantee, how can I not believe it."

Hearing Han Xin's praise, Shan Wu on the side couldn't help but squint his eyes, smiling and brushing his beard, as if he had drunk honey in his heart. I heard Han Xin say again; "Besides, if you kill me, it will do you no good. No matter how the Qin State rises up, the subordinates loyal to me will definitely capture Jicheng and slaughter the city to vent their anger, do you think you can hold it with your little soldiers and horses? You underestimate the army led by my Han Xin, the reason why I have been hiding and not recovering is nothing more than wanting to recover Yandi peacefully. ”

"A little bit more important." A smile appeared on the corner of Han Xin's mouth, "Do you think you can keep me?" If I want to leave, there is no one in this world who can keep me, not to mention your 40,000 weak soldiers, even if Xiang Yu's Jiangdong disciples are here, I can also move vertically and horizontally, advancing and retreating freely. ”

The moment Han Xin raised his head and said these words confidently, Zhang Er's expression was lost for a while, and he suddenly had an urge to bow down. Forced himself to calm down, glanced at Han Xin deeply, lowered his head and knelt down; "The minister Zhang Er pleaded guilty, and since then he has no disobedience, and is willing to serve His Majesty."

Zhang Er's words were obviously loyal to Han Xin, but the problem was that he actually called Han Xin His Majesty, which was a transgression no matter what. But Han Xin just smiled slightly, but he didn't say anything, both of them tacitly knew it in their hearts, so naturally there was no need to say more.

After getting Zhang Er and a group of Yan generals to surrender, Han Xin easily pacified the four counties of Shanggu, Guangyang, Youbeiping, and Yuyang, and took Zhang Er as the general, led the surrender of Yan soldiers supplemented by Mengshi 5,000 Qin elite cavalry, and attacked the two counties of Liaodong in western Liaoxi to the east.

When Han Guang heard that the Qin army was coming, he immediately panicked, knowing that the Qin army was strong and invincible, and he was unwilling to return to Qin to be a courtier of Qin, so he pulled out the camp to the east and led the remnants of the army to abandon the city and flee to Liaodong.

After Meng Shi heard that the Liaodong army had fled, he immediately led the light cavalry to pursue, caught up with the fleeing Liaodong army by the Liao River, broke it in a battle, killed more than 30,000 Liaodong soldiers, captured 20,000, and the corpses of the Liaodong soldiers were piled up, and the river was cut off.

Han Guang left behind the army and led 5,000 soldiers to the east and fled into Xiangping. Meng Shi decisively left the prisoners behind and let Zhang Er's army, which arrived later, receive them, while he himself chased them all the way with his cavalry and followed closely to Xiangping.

At this time, Han Guang was already like a frightened bird, seeing the Qin army coming, regardless of whether they could capture the city or not, he immediately abandoned the city and fled, continued to flee eastward, entered the territory of the Jizi Kingdom, destroyed the country established by the Shang Dynasty's relict minister Jizi, and established himself as the king. However, because of the heavy loss of strength and the fear of the Qin State, Han Guang did not dare to mention returning to the Central Plains for the rest of his life, and he was relieved to attack the surrounding small countries and be his king of the outside.

At this point, the Qin army has pacified the six counties of Yandi, and the three counties of Zhaodi. After receiving 20,000 reinforcements from within the Qin State, Han Xin made a big show and led 30,000 Qin troops and 50,000 new troops to the south and landed in Hengshan County of Zhao State.

The army of Qin State pressed the border, Zhao Di was terrified for a while, and the soldiers and civilians were all panicked.
