The capital of Qi State, Linzi. The news of the defeat on the front line kept coming like snowflakes, and the monarchs and ministers of the Qi State couldn't help but be shocked and at a loss.

Since mid-September, Wu has launched a full-scale attack on Qi with hundreds of thousands of troops, and cities such as Yan, Bao, Tan, and Fuyu in the southwest of Jishui have all fallen.

The lands of Jixi and Jinan of Qi were all lost in a dozen days and occupied by the Wu army. The cities were either broken by the Wu army, or they directly looked at the wind and surrendered, basically not daring to resist.

It's not that they don't want to resist, but they can't come up with any soldiers and horses to resist the powerful offensive of the Wu army. The last military force of Qi was defeated by the Wu army as early as the beginning of the war.

In the Battle of Taoqiu, the Wu army led by Sun Wu wiped out the last battleable soldiers of Qi State.

"King, come down!" Zuo Xiang Tian Heng held the tooth wat in his hand, lowered his head and said: "The armies of Wu have already entered the line of Ailing, Fuyu, and Changlao, and the nearest Wu Zixu's troops and horses are less than three hundred miles away from Linzi, the national capital. ”

"The army of Wu entered Qi, no less than 200,000 people!"

"Now, the number of soldiers that our Qi country can mobilize is only more than 10,000 people, and it is invincible."

"If Linzi City is broken, the king may be able to flee, but the temple of Qi will definitely not be protected!"

"The king, King Wu is still a benevolent and virtuous king, and he can treat the king and me and other ministers and doctors well."

"If the king descends with Lilly, King Wu will definitely be able to canonize the king as the Marquis of Qi and reward thousands of households with food, hereditary replacement."

"Please surrender to the king for the people of Qi to not suffer from the war of swords and soldiers!" Tian Heng took the lead, and the rest of the ministers and doctors all stood up one after another, and said earnestly: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

"Your Majesty, what Tian Xiang said is extremely true. In today's world, it is a foregone conclusion that Wu will dominate the world, and this is the trend of the times! ”

"My Qi Kingdom is categorically irresistible to Master Wu and violates the mandate of heaven!"

"Please come out with a courtesy!" Hearing this, Lu Ren looked sad, slowly stood up, and said, "Could it be that my great Qi Jiangshan Sheji is about to die at the hands of widows?" ”

"Widow, it's really unwilling!" At this time, the right minister Kan Zhi sighed and said: "Great King, the minister thinks that although the momentum of the Wu army is great, it may not be able to destroy my Great Qi!" ”

"Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood. Since Linzi can't be saved, why doesn't the king temporarily hunt north of Yan Kingdom? ”

"Yan Kingdom, Dai Kingdom, Zhongshan Kingdom, there is still residual strength, although Wu State is powerful, it is impossible to destroy all countries within a year."

"In this case, why don't the king walk to Yan Kingdom first to observe the changes in the current situation in the world?"

"If King Wu Qingji is jealous, within the four seas, it will inevitably boil, and then the heroes will rise together, and the king can still return to China to restore the throne and restore the country, isn't it good?" I have to admit that Kan Zhi's suggestion is indeed feasible.

After all, Qingji is no longer young, so it can be counted

"Old". Lu Ren is different. Lu Ren is still only a young man in his twenties, and he has a lot to do. If Lu Ren can survive Qingji, and when Qingji dies in the future, when there is a great chaos in Wu and he can't control the general trend of the world, Lu Ren will take advantage of the situation again, and he may not be able to recover from Qi State.

Escape to the country of Yan? Lu Ren was very hesitant for a while.

"Great King, the bitter cold land of Yan Kingdom, wherever the king goes, he will only suffer suffering and humiliation, and it will not have any effect." Tian Heng immediately retorted: "Besides, the Yan Kingdom, the Dai Kingdom, and the Zhongshan Kingdom are also struggling to survive, and they won't last long. Presumably, after the destruction of the three kingdoms of Qi, Song, and Lu, the next step will be to launch a war of annihilation against the three northern kingdoms. ”

"King, as the saying goes, the one who knows the times is the one who is handsome."

"As Han doesn't believe it, after surrendering to Wu with a ceremony, he was canonized as the Marquis of Han by King Wu, and he was hereditary and replaced, and he was rewarded with hundreds of thousands of strong, such as good land, beautiful houses, gold, and jade silk, which cannot be counted, and the Han family is related to the country from now on!"

"If the king can be as good as Han doesn't believe it, with the cities and lands that exist in the Qi country today, presumably King Wu will be able to treat you more kindly!"

"King, don't miss the opportunity, you won't come again. Please respect yourself! ”

"This ......" Lu Ren hesitated a little. Kan Zhi looked at Tian Heng with righteous indignation, and said, "Tian Heng, how dare you say such a rebellious remark? ”

"Eat the king's luck, and bear the king's worries. Your Tian family has received the grace of the country, and now it is time for you to repay it, how can you turn your back on the king and the country of Qi? ”

"Has your conscience allowed the dog to eat?"

"Could it be that no one in my huge Qi country, all the princes of the country, dares to be the first to resist the tyranny of Wu for the king?" Hearing this, Tian Hengpi said with a smile: "Kan Zhi, since you claim to be a loyal minister, why don't you lead the army to fight with Wu Shi?" ”

"I heard that like Korea, Han Buxin has surrendered, and his crown prince Han Geng is still fighting to the death with the Wu army. Since you Kan Zhi want to be a loyal minister, you should follow Han Geng's example! ”

"You!" Kan Zhi was angry. However, in order to repay Lu Ren for his kindness, Kan Zhi still knelt on the floor and kowtowed to Lu Ren and said: "King, the minister is willing to fight to the death for the king and for the Qi country!" ”

"Good! Second and third sons, take a look! This is the loyal minister of the widow, the loyal minister of the Great Qi! Wait, who wants to be like Kan Zi and fight for the widow? ”

"......" and the ministers were all silent. Seeing this scene, Lu Ren's original enthusiasm was also poured with cold water, and he felt very depressed.

The matter has come to this point, and no one of the ministers who originally received the favor of the country, except for Kan Zhi, is willing to stand up and fight for Lu Ren.

How good is that? …… Night falls. In Tian Heng's mansion, Tian Heng met with the secret envoy from the Black Ice Platform of Wu State in his library.

"Tian Xiang, you did a good job."

"The king has promised that if Tian Xiang can make Qi surrender, and my Wu army can take Linzi City without spending a single soldier, then Tian Xiang, you can be the county guard of Hedong County in the future, and you will have a thousand households in Linzi, and Tian Xiang's family property can be a lot."

"Thank you." Tian Heng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The 1,000 households in Linzi are not hereditary, and if Tian Heng dies in the future, he will be taken back, so Tian Heng doesn't care about it.

What he really values is the money that the Tian family has accumulated over generations. and the position of the county warden of Hedong County.

The county guard is a very important official position in Wu Guoke, and his power is not small. Being able to be the previous county guard made Tian Heng very satisfied.

In case Qingji dies and the country of Wu is in turmoil, Tian Heng or his descendants can completely rely on Hedong County, which is a place of anointing, to start a family and become kings.

"Kan stop this person, he must die." A flash of murderous intent flashed in Tian Heng's eyes. The next day, the news of Kan Zhi's assassination came out, and Lu Ren, who had no hope anymore, finally issued an order to surrender to Wu.

This means that the Jiang Qi Kingdom, which has existed for more than 500 years, has come to an end.
