readx;?? Tian Shi died in the ambush of the Qin army, but this one incident actually did not have much impact on the Qi State. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info[燃^文^书库][].. []（.. ）

Although Tian Shi is Tian Dan's crown prince, Tian Dan does not like this eldest son too much, but is more opposed to Tian Shi's style in many aspects, not to mention that Tian Heng and Tian Rong have always had a bad feeling for Tian Shi.

What Zhang Jiashi encountered next was that the officers and soldiers under his command who attacked Yuanxian and Yangwu counties were actually delayed on the road of attack by a group of officers and soldiers who were half starved to death and had directly lost their senior commanders not long ago.

After Zhang Jiashi knew such a situation, he couldn't help but touch his chin slightly, because he was able to command these Qi troops like this, I have to say that this Qi ** officer who commanded these Qi troops is indeed quite capable.

He then said to Chen Ping: "Perhaps, we should order the other party to be captured alive." I wonder what the Prime Minister thinks?"

Zhang Jiashi's words made Chen Ping slightly stunned, he knew that Zhang Jiashi had a heart of love for talent, so he would not order the other party to be killed directly.

And out of many considerations, after thinking about it a little more, Chen Ping supported Zhang Jiashi's statement: "Your Majesty, this person can show this ability at such a time, and he is indeed extraordinary. But Your Majesty, we also have to worry about the casualties of the front-line troops. ”

Chen Ping's words made Zhang Jiashi nod, because the problem that Chen Ping was concerned about was indeed a very reasonable thing.

After all, if he caused too many casualties among his officers and soldiers for the sake of a talented person, Zhang Jiashi himself would not have done it.

He gave his own order to the scout sent by Nguyen Weng Thao: "For the troops led by this person, for the time being, besiege the other party first, and then wait a little later to make the next move." ”

"Whoa!"

......

On the periphery of a small mound about 500 meters west of the original county seat, more than 3,000 Qin officers and soldiers surrounded this small mound.

Nguyen Weng Thieu did not send too many troops to besiege this small camp, but let the main force under his command launch a fierce attack on the Qi army camp in Yuan County and the western area of Duong Wu County together with Li Xin.

In such a situation, a young general on top of this small mound knew very well that these Qin troops did not attack them, and perhaps had more plans.

But he was not glad about the situation. Instead, he looked at the formation of the Qin army a few hundred meters below the mountain, and muttered a sentence: "The other party is fully capable of rushing up and then easily destroying us, but the other party didn't do this, and even more hoped that I would surrender to them." ”

After the young general of the Qi army finished saying this, a lieutenant beside him looked at the young general and said for a while: "General Hou." Why don't we surrender to the Qin people. You must know that General Hou, you yourself are not willing to do so in the current Qi State. ”

This man, known as the rear general, after hearing the words of this captain. I couldn't help but be silent.

Because what this captain said was not wrong at all, that is, because of his background, he was able to become a general of the Qi State despite his young age. But neither the Tian Dan brothers nor Tian Jiao and others have looked at him squarely.

......

His surname is Hou, and he is the grandson of Hou Sheng, the prime minister of Qi before the fall of Qi.

Hou Sheng was not killed by the Qin people, but was retaliated and died by some of Tian Qi's clans.

At that time, the first emperor Yingzheng also quickly learned about Hou Sheng's killing, but deeply regretted it.

After all, it is true that the latter is greedy, but in terms of internal political ability, Yingzheng believes that the latter can win. Maybe maybe above Lees.

Because of Han Fei's matter, Ying Zheng did not suspect whether the murderer was someone else, but in this matter, Ying Zheng was not willing to pursue too much, so he could only let Meng Wu, Wang Ben and others search for the murderer and take the blame.

Hou Sheng's family was secretly protected by Meng Wu in this situation. Among them was Houguang, who was only five years old at the time.

After his father's death from illness. Houguang inherited the Hou family, and then it was the arrival of the troubled times at the end of Qin.

Although Hou Guang secretly hated the Tian clan, because he wanted to protect the Hou family, Hou Guang chose to come out of Tian Dan's command.

To be honest, although Houguang does not have a general hatred for Tian Dan and others. But if it weren't for them, the Tian Qi clan, how could their grandfather have been killed?

So in Houguang's heart, although he was born in Tian Dan, he has always lacked loyalty to the current Qi King Tian Dan and Qi State.

After all, his grandfather did have quite flaws in his private morality, but one thing that cannot be denied is that the queen (the daughter of Taishishiki. Queen Qi Xiang, the mother of Tian Jianzhi, King of Qi) died of illness, if the Qi State did not have the development of Housheng, I am afraid that the national strength that was rarely recovered during the period of the queen would be corrupted by Qi Wangjian.

Therefore, under the teaching of his father Houxu, Houguang thought that the Tian Qi clan should not treat their Houjia like this.

However, surrendering to the Qin people like this, Hou Guang was also reluctant in his heart.

That is, he is a Qi person, and what he loves is this homeland.

After thinking for a while, Houguang shook his head and said, "No...... Let's wait for a while, after all, even if we surrender to the Qin people now, the other party will not treat us too well. ”

"However, General Hou, the wounded and some brothers in our army may not be able to support it. This Qi military captain looked at Houguang and said this.

Hou Guang heard the words of the lieutenant under his command, and he was also silent, after all, although he was not a mediocre person, he could not conjure a large amount of grain and medicine out of thin air, let alone the arrows and arrows that were consumed.

It wasn't that he didn't think about using the arrows fired by the Qin army as ready-made supplies. It's a pity that he didn't expect it at all, that is, the specifications of these arrows are different from the specifications used by the crossbowmen under his command.

This one thing made Houguang only silent.

Houguang knew very well that although he was able to command his officers and soldiers to block a not too violent tentative attack of the Qin army, it did not mean that he was able to let the more than 1,000 people under his command withstand the siege of more Qin officers and soldiers while also starving for several days......

"Alas...... Okay, let's send someone to get in touch with each other. ”

Houguang is not the kind of cold-blooded person, after tasting many people's warmth and coldness, Houguang does not want the officers and soldiers under his command to suffer a lot of misfortune.

He finally weighed it up. Such a decision was made......

............................................................ Dividing line ..........................................

Houguang's surrender, in a sense, is just a microcosm of the wave of surrender that appeared when a large number of Qi officers and soldiers were completely unable to resist the Qin army's front and rear attacks.

But in Houguang's heart, he was able to save the lives of most of the officers and soldiers under his command, even if it was because he was hunted and killed by the Qin people, he had nothing to complain about.

Merely. What he didn't expect was that he would actually see an old acquaintance.

......

Li Xin was assigning the next stage of combat arrangements with his lieutenants. What he didn't expect was that a young man he had some vague impressions would be escorted to the back by a light infantry unit of the Qin army.

He had his guards stop the commander of the light infantry team, and then said, "Bring the young man who leads him to the general." ”

Naturally, this Qin Juntun chief would not stop Li Xin's request, after all, Li Xin was now his boss's boss.

Hou Guang didn't know why he was escorted alone in front of a veteran of the Qin Army in his fifties, but after hearing what the other party said to him, he knew that this person knew him.

"Who is Houxu you?"

These are the words of Li Xin.

After all, Li Xin had also participated in the attack with Wang Ben to the south, and it was not surprising to know Hou Xu during the period of governing Linzi with Meng Wu and others.

Although Houguang doesn't remember that he had several encounters with Li Xin back then. But he could feel that General Qin, who was still able to realize his father, was not the one who wanted to trouble their family.

So Hou Guang didn't hide anything, but directly said the fact that Hou Xu was his father: "Report to this general, Hou Xu is the name of his father." ”

Li Xin nodded and muttered, "I think it's strange, because General Ben and Mengwu's dead ghost have seen your father several times back then, and you do look more like Hou Xu." ”

After hearing Li Xin's words. Houguang nodded. He was grateful to Meng Wu, if it weren't for Meng Wu secretly protecting their family, maybe most of their descendants would have been killed by the Tian Qi clan long ago.

It's just that after hearing Li Xin's words, Houguang felt that something should be wrong with Meng Wu. He knew that he shouldn't have asked about such a thing, but he didn't think he could be so forgetful. Instead, he asked cautiously: "General Meng's life-saving grace to the Hou family back then, the younger generation of Houguang will never dare to forget it...... I don't know where General Meng is now, and the younger generation wants to repay the kindness of the year. ”

Li Xin looked at Hou Guang, whose expression was quite sincere, and knew that the other party didn't seem to be a fake, so he said slowly: "That old guy from Mengwu died in Hanzhong County a few years ago. If you really want to repay the favor, I'm afraid it's already too late. ”

"This ...... It's really the juniors who are presumptuous. Houguang didn't expect that Meng Wu had actually passed away. That's why I said this.

Li Xin shook his head and stopped dwelling on this matter.

Suddenly, Li Xin looked at Houguang's outfit, and then, as if remembering something, he said something that made Houguang feel very embarrassed: "

"General Ben looks at your dress, you should be a general in the Qi army, let's put it this way, if you can help the king manage these surrendered Qi officers and soldiers more efficiently, this general should recommend you to the king. ”

After hearing Li Xin's words, Hou Guang couldn't help but be silent for a while, because this matter really made him feel quite embarrassed, that is, these Qi officers and soldiers who had surrendered, maybe many of them were about to starve to death.

But he still accepted Li Xin's appointment.

As for the king in Li Xin's words, Houguang still knows who the other party is. After all, Houguang has not yet heard of it, to the point that even the current regent of Great Qin, Zhang Jiashi, has never heard of it.

Moreover, under his auspices, the current Houjia still has a good income by transferring some Liaodong materials to Chu or Wei to sell.

Houguang knew that this was an opportunity for him, and it was also an important opportunity for their Houjia to rise again.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

To be honest, what Zhang Jiashi didn't expect was that he would capture nearly 50,000 prisoners in this battle.

In addition to the fact that thousands of people died in battle or escaped from this place of death through some means, Zhang Jiashi directly captured a group of Qi officers and soldiers who were half starving to death.

More than 50,000 is still considered a sturdy adult man, for Zhang Jiashi. It's a very big asset.

You must know that these men can do a lot of things that these men can let them do in addition to not letting them be stationed in the counties close to the Qi Kingdom, and Zhang Jiashi doesn't have to worry too much about these people fleeing in large numbers.

However, Zhang Jiashi also has a headache now, that is, the food consumption of these Qi officers and soldiers is still a relatively heavy burden for the time being.

Of course, Zhang Jiashi was introduced by Li Xin. Met a young man of the same age, but impeccable in ability.

That's the back light.

Zhang Jiashi was communicating with Li Xin. Realize one point, that is, Hou Guang, as Hou Sheng's grandson, can also be regarded as a young man from a famous family.

But after Zhang Jiashi said a word, Li Xin was very stunned.

"Doesn't it mean that Hou Sheng is just a greedy, virtuous and talentless person?"

Li Xin thought for a long time before he said to Zhang Jiashi: "Your Majesty, where did you hear about this?"

Zhang Jiashi shook his head, because he couldn't say that he knew this matter in the relevant records in the Qingyu Spirit Book.

And Li Xin's words made Zhang Jiashi realize how wrong his perception of Hou Sheng was:

"Your Majesty, Hou Sheng is the son of Taishifu. The younger brother of the queen, as the powerful Tai Shi Fu of Qi State at that time, played a role in the defense of Ju County, which was actually no less than Tian Dan, and Tai Shishi's family education was extremely strict, and after knowing that his daughter had an affair with the then prince Tian Fazhang, he expelled the two from his home. ”

Li Xin paused. looked at Zhang Jiashi's thoughtful expression, and then continued: "Your Majesty, the queen is a heroine among women who was praised by the first emperor in the world, if it weren't for the queen who assisted Tian Fazhang and Tian Jian, the two generations of Qi kings, I am afraid that Qi will not be able to quickly become one of the countries that can effectively stop our Great Qin from unifying the six countries again with the strength of Tian Dan alone." Not to mention the close. In the Battle of Changping alone, if the Qi State borrowed grain from the Zhao State, I am afraid that our Qin State might suffer a crushing defeat. ”

"And Hou Sheng, this person is indeed greedy and immoral, but without talent, it is absolutely impossible to say, even the first emperor did not say it once, if Hou Sheng is the prime minister of Great Qin, it can make Great Qin more prosperous. Because in terms of internal politics, Hou Sheng's talent is incomparable even to the queen. ”

After hearing Li Xin's words. Zhang Jiashi realized how wrong the record he understood in the Qingyu Spirit Book was.

After all, a person like Hou Sheng is actually an internal minister, and this thing is indeed unimaginable to Zhang Jiashi himself.

And Zhang Jiashi remembered a famous saying that he understood in later generations:

It is better to believe in a book than to have no book at all.

............................................................ Dividing line ..........................................

After a little assessment of Houguang and confirmation that Houguang was more willing to serve as an officer, Zhang Jiashi appointed Houguang as a lieutenant under Yu Yong.

Yu Yong was originally reluctant to accept Zhang Jiashi's arrangement, after all, Houguang is a Qi person, and it is difficult to guarantee loyalty, but Zhang Jiashi is still very resolute to let Yu Yong carry out this order.

In the face of Zhang Jiashi's insistence, Yu Yong could only give in.

Of course, in Yu Yong's heart, Houguang will have to go through his long investigation before he can gain his trust.

And one thing that Zhang Jiashi didn't say to Yu Yong was that it was indeed a bit dangerous for Houguang to serve as a captain of the pro-guard army, but Zhang Jiashi himself knew very well what the benefits of letting Houguang serve as a pro-army captain.

That is, it can more quickly win the hearts of these surrendered officers and soldiers of the Qi army.

After this arrangement, Zhang Jiashi summoned Zang Tu and his lieutenants to his camp for a banquet.

But before Zhang Jiashi gave his cheap grandfather-in-law a gift outside the camp gate, Zang Di first respectfully gave Zhang Jiashi a courtesy, officially showing his loyalty to Zhang Jiashi.

Regarding the development of such a thing, Zhang Jiashi said that it was indeed a little unexpected for him.

Just like after he got drunk that day, it was Zang'er, a little girl, who was lying on the bed......

Well, to be honest, Zhang Jiashi didn't know what the reason should be for this matter, but Zhang Jiashi knew very well that that was what he should do and what he shouldn't do...... It looks like it's all done.

So, in Zhang Jiashi's concubine, Zang'er was added, a little girl.

But what Zhang Jiashi didn't expect was that Zang'er, the first concubine who was confirmed to be pregnant, was the fastest to get the news.

Zhang Jiashi really wants to say something, that is: "Unintentionally inserted willows and willows into the shade......"

And during this banquet, after confirming that he was indeed promoted to the level of great-grandfather, Zang Di couldn't help but be happy to drink with a few barrels under Zhang Jiashi's command.

Zang Di naturally couldn't drink these "wine barrels" of the Great Qin Empire, and soon lay on his table, but Zhang Jiashi knew very well that it was Ruan Weng Shao and them who let Zang Di, the old man......

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

What Han Guang didn't expect was that after he had occupied Rongyang for about ten days, and before he could think of effectively solving the trouble of grain shortage, he woke up and saw the banners of the Qin army all over the mountains, as well as the military formation like a sea of people, and quickly besieged Rongyang City......
