Suddenly!

A loud shout rang out from under the city, diverting the attention of the Qin army

The troops leaned down to look at the gate, and saw a middle-aged man riding a tall horse to a stop thirty meters in front of the city gate

Hu Qing on the city wall narrowed his eyes after seeing it: "Li Shiqi? ”

Seeing that Li Shiqi was not flustered at all, he smiled slightly and said loudly: "The soldiers of Great Qin, I am Li Shiqi, a strategist under Liu Bang. Now that I have 150,000 troops under the pass, do you really want to fight this battle that you must lose? ”

After the words fell, Li Shiqi glanced at the suspicious expressions of the Qin soldiers on the high wall, and stroked his beard proudly

The Qin army was in a panic, and when they saw that there was only a middle-aged man on horseback under the city, they did not attack it

After hearing this, Hu Qing crossed the army to the battlement, and said downward: "Li Shiqi, you came to the dangerous place alone, what do you have to say?" ”

Li Shiqi said: "General Hu, the soldiers of the Qin army." Pei Gong is benevolent and righteous, and I don't want to see you give your lives in vain for the corrupt Qin court, as long as the Qin army can surrender to Liu Peigong, you can also serve in the Pei Gong army. Li promised that we would never harm the people of Guanzhong after entering the customs, and we would not commit any crimes with the people of Xianyang! ”

After hearing this, the Qin troops on the city wall immediately fell into discussion... This battle can't be fought!

If he surrenders to Liu Bangjun, it is secondary to be able to save his life, and the most important thing is that Guanzhong's family can also avoid being slaughtered

If this is really the case, why not surrender to him Liu Bangjun? It's nothing more than a change of king...

In the face of the huge cruel reality, most of the Qin soldiers seemed to have begun to waver in their hearts, thinking about whether it was worth it even if they fought to the death and couldn't stop Liu Bang from entering the customs...

After a while, the voices of the Qin soldiers gradually became quieter. Everyone's eyes looked at General Hu Qing who was at the forefront

Hu Qing was stunned, turned to look at the Qin army, smashed his fist and sighed: "Alas... Soldiers, although I, Hu Qing, am your main general, I don't want to see your brothers sacrifice their lives to fight this meaningless battle. ”

"Today, the pass is surrounded by Liu Bang's army of more than 100,000 people, I want to hear your opinions. Although the reputation of surrendering to the enemy army is not good, if my people of Great Qin are really slaughtered by the six countries of Kwantung, and ten rooms and nine empty rooms in the future, where will anyone avenge the people of my Guanzhong? With us, at least there is hope to keep the people of Guanzhong..."

As soon as the words fell, I saw a general say loudly: "General Hu, although today's surrender is not what we want, but what the general said is not bad, and it is meaningless to fight again and hit the stone with an egg!" ”

A soldier said: "General, if Liu Bang is really as he said, he can exempt me from the death penalty and spare the lives of the people in Guanzhong, I am willing to surrender to Liu Bang!" ”

"I do..."

"I am also willing to surrender to Liu Bang! There is no justification for such a war death without any chance of victory. ”

"Yes, why is it almost a month, why hasn't the imperial court sent troops to reinforce Yaoguan?"

"Since the Qin court no longer cares whether we live or die, then why do we still serve it! I'm willing to surrender Liu! ”

......

Someone took the lead in surrendering, which instantly ignited the surrender of all the Qin troops. All of a sudden, it was like a virus, spreading to every corner of the pass

But there were still voices of opposition, and I saw a thousand commanders walking out of the army, drawing out their long swords, and shouting: "Hmph! Don't you wait to see what kind of clothes you are wearing, surrender Liu Bang, do you really think you can live? ”

Another captain came out and said in a loud voice: "I have been fighting in Great Qin for hundreds of years, what crisis has I not encountered?" What kind of hardship have you not suffered? It is our destiny to die on the battlefield! I will never surrender to Liu Bangjun, and I will defend the pass to the death! ”

......

Seeing that the few who oppose surrender are about to be ignited by these generals who are not afraid of death

Hu Qing hurriedly walked to the middle of the army, and raised his hands to the sky to stop the rioting Qin army.

Hu Qing put down his hands, glanced at the humiliation, anger, unwillingness, or expectation, survival on the faces of the Qin army, took a deep breath and lowered his voice:

"Soldiers, I know that you are all unwilling, but as the Lord, I have the responsibility to protect my family. But it is even more of a responsibility to save your lives, and today's situation is beyond the power of man..."

"I will not let you bleed senselessly! If anyone is not satisfied, he will come out and cut down the general now, and he will never be held responsible! ”

When all the Qin troops saw Hu Qing's fierce and murderous eyes, they lowered their heads one after another, but none of them dared to step forward and cut down their main general

And the few soldiers who died just now and didn't surrender frowned deeply, no matter how fucking they weren't afraid of death, they wouldn't dare to do such a thing to kill the main general...

Hu Qing waited for a while, and seeing that there was no one in the army, he continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am waiting to surrender to Liu Bang today in order to save your lives and do more meaningful things in the future. ”

The commander who opposed the surrender just now raised his head and wondered, "General Hu, how can you say this?" ”

Hu Qing said confidently: "Li Shiqi has already said just now that after Liu Bang enters Guanzhong, he will never kill the old Qin people. If this is the case, then there is nothing wrong with us finding a Lord. ”

"Second, we descended after Liu Bangjun and followed into the customs. If Liu Bangjun encounters the Qin army in the pass and is defeated, I can take advantage of the situation as an internal response and break him Liu Bang in one fell swoop. Wouldn't it be more meaningful to make meritorious contributions to crimes? ”

“......”

A general walked out and said in a loud voice: "General Hu's plan is very good!" In this way, we can save our lives by descending to Liu Bang; You can find an opportunity to help Qin! Subordinates admire! ”

After hearing this, the Qin army also secretly raised his thumbs up at Hu Qing's earth-shattering thoughts, he really cared about his brothers...

And the few soldiers who still had the heart to die in battle just now couldn't find anything wrong after thinking for a while, so they all apologized and said: "General Hu, my subordinates were reckless just now, General Hu's heart can be learned from heaven and earth!" I'm going to follow the general to the death! ”

And the other people who had doubts also swept away the anger just now and knelt on one knee: "I am willing to follow the general to the death!" ”

Hu Qing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and finally got it!

motioned to those soldiers to get up and said: "Soldiers, listen to me, Hu Qing is by no means greedy for life and afraid of death for petty profits!" My wish is to protect the people of my Guanzhong with a useful body, if he Liu Bang dares to break his promise, I Hu Qingding will be the first to assassinate him! ”

After hearing this, everyone swept away the dejected atmosphere just now, and looked at Hu Qing with some brilliance on their faces.

With the backbone, you can no longer have scruples about doing things

At this time, Li Shiqi under the city frowned slightly, listened to the chaotic sound on the city wall, and thought that there would be no accident

He raised his head and shouted: "Soldiers of the Qin army, my army has been waiting for you for a quarter of an hour, how are you thinking about it?" Is it a surrender, is it a war? ”

After a few more breaths, I saw Hu Qing lying on the battlement of the city wall, beckoning to Li Shiqi and saying, "Mr. Li, Hu has discussed with the generals and is willing to surrender to Liu Peigong......"
