Chapter 95: King Qin refuses to surrender, Chen Xiang waits for his changes

Bai Qi was killed, and the Qin army on the eastern front was suddenly in chaos, and the Qin army, which had been in ambush in the city for a long time, took the opportunity to kill and divide and surround the Qin army, and the Qin soldiers were panicked. At this moment, Le Yi climbed the tower and shouted: "Brave Qin army soldiers, your commander Bai Qi is dead, those who abandon their weapons and surrender will be treated preferentially, and if they are stubborn, they will be useless resisters, and there will be no forgiveness for killing."

The Qin army had long lost their fighting spirit, and when they heard Le Yi's shout, they abandoned their weapons and knelt down to surrender, and the battle situation on the Eastern Front was decided.

Le Yi came to the point of the general platform in the city, and was about to check the general, at this time a warm spring breeze blew, Le Yi suddenly felt that the whole body was very soft, and a sense of fatigue came up to his body, and he suddenly felt dark in front of him, and he fell heavily on the point general platform.

Soon, Chen Xiangjun received a good news from the Eastern Front, and there was bad news along with the good news. Due to old age and illness, coupled with overwork before the war, the general Le Yi ran out of oil and dried up, fell on the general's platform, and never got up again.

Hearing this bad news, Chen Xiang was like a blow to the head, and he was in pain. My great general Le, how can you bear to leave me alone and die alone? Do you want to be happy with your covenant with me to get drunk for three days? Have you abandoned your ideals and joined me in the great cause? Chen Xiang thought it was just a nightmare, but when he opened it after closing his eyes, the battle report in front of him was still clenched in his hand, and it was clearly written at the end of the battle report: General Le Yi became ill from hard work and died.

Chen Xiang insisted on going to the Eastern Front to preside over Le Yi's funeral in person, but Lu Zhu and Wei Ying's advice was fruitless, so he had to be accompanied by Lu Zhu and sent the best military doctor in the army to follow him all the way.

After Chen Xiang left, the Chinese army did not slow down the offensive against Xianyang. Under the command of Wei Ying, the Chinese army continued to storm Xianyang, and after several days of fierce fighting, the city gate was finally breached, and the defenders of the city retreated into the inner city.

At this time, the inner city has been controlled by Meng Tian, in the battle with Wang Qian's army, Meng Tian successively killed several generals of the other party, Wang Qian's soldiers saw that the crowd would be killed, and learned that the defense line outside the city had been broken, and the Chinese army could enter the city at any time, so they surrendered to Meng Tian one after another.

Meng Tian immediately gathered his forces and locked the gate of the palace in the inner city, forming a confrontation with the Chinese army for a while. When Wei Ying came to the city, he was not in a hurry to attack the city, but ordered the soldiers to surround the palace heavily, and then quietly waited for the rear army and siege equipment to be in place.

At this time, Wei Ying received a letter from Chen Xiang, and told Wei Ying not to rush to attack the city first, to lure him to surrender first, not to attack, and to make plans after he returned. Wei Ying hurriedly summoned the generals to go down according to Chen Xiang's instructions, and the Xianyang Palace was temporarily calm.

At the same time, after Sima Cuo and others on the northwest front learned the battle reports of the other two fronts, everyone was disheartened, and after weighing the pros and cons for a while, the generals unanimously decided to lead their troops to surrender in order to protect hundreds of thousands of Qin Chuan's children.

Fan Li and Zhang Han were overjoyed when they heard the report, and hurriedly ordered people to arrange the surrender, and sent several groups of envoys to explain to Sima Cuo and the generals of the Northwest Army that the Chinese army would give preferential treatment to all the surrendered Qin army officers and soldiers, and the Qin army officers and soldiers felt at ease, so the surrender and integration of hundreds of thousands of Qin troops was carried out very smoothly.

At this point, the war in the northwest ended, and Fan Li and Zhang Han led the Chinese army all the way to Xianyang.

At this time, the envoy sent by Wei Ying to the palace of the king of Qin had returned, and the envoy reported to Wei Yingyu: "Lord Qiyu, this time I went to the palace of Qin to persuade him to surrender, and the minister felt that the queen and Xiangguo seemed to be moved, but the king of Qin had a resolute attitude and vowed to fight to the death with our army." Wei Ying was furious, but because Chen Xiang had explained in advance, he could only give up for the time being and wait for Chen Xiang to return before making plans.

Chen Xiang held a grand funeral for Le Yi at Hangu Pass on the Eastern Front with the gift of the royal family, and went to the tomb to cry and sacrifice, and fainted several times. Queen Luzhu kept advising and appeasing her, Chen Xiangfang had to turn around, and then gradually collected his mood, and instructed Wei Ying's Xianyang war arrangements in a handwritten letter, and reorganized his men and horses to prepare for the march in the direction of Xianyang.

Chen Xiang's Eastern Army and Fan Li's Northwest Army arrived in Xianyang almost at the same time, and all the generals came to meet Chen Xiang.

Chen Xiang said indifferently after hearing this: "The day when our Hua Kingdom will dominate the world is approaching, there is no need to add more killings, and now the soldiers have been fighting hard for a long time, and they can be ordered to rest in the city for a few days." The king assured that in a few days, there would be great chaos within the Qin state, and the Qin army would naturally surrender without a fight. ”

Seeing that Wei Ying and the other generals had no objections, Chen Xiang immediately ordered people to prepare wine and meat, and sent it to various departments to reward the three armies.
