Linzi, as the capital of Qi and the richest city in Qi, is usually in an endless stream of merchants coming and going, and the city tax alone can make Qi earn a lot of money.

However, at this time, Linzi City has long lost its former charm, the city gate is closed, and there is not a single pedestrian on the street.

Outside the city is densely packed with Zhao Jun, outside the four city walls, two rows of tall catapults are arranged neatly, with the swing of the big arm, a huge stone crosses the moat, like a meteorite smashed on the city wall, the soldiers dodged, were hit by the boulder, instantly smashed into flesh, deeply embedded in the city wall, and the city wall forever fused together.

The surrounding Qi troops trembled with fright, and hid in the rear in fear, for fear that they would be hit by stones.

After Zhao Kuo led the Zhao army south, he did not choose to join Lian Po, but took advantage of the fact that the Qi army was on the front line and the rear was empty, and led the Zhao army to enter the Qi capital Linzi along the seaside.

He told Handan that he had brought 30 days of grain and grass, but in fact, in order to increase the speed of the march, he only brought 10 days of grain and grass, and he ate on the enemy along the way.

Zhao Fei rode in front to open the way, and all those who found that they wanted to pass on the information were killed, and no one could outrun Zhao Feicai, and in just ten days, Zhao Jun hit outside Linzi City.

"Keep smashing it for me, and don't stop at night!" Zhao Kuo waved his hand.

It is not realistic to rely solely on catapults to collapse the walls, unless they are done for years and months, and the defenders of the city are not given any chance to repair them.

But Zhao Jun didn't have that time.

Within fifteen days, the state of Zhao must end this war.

And this also includes the time to rush to Yecheng, that is to say, the time left for Zhao Kuo is only ten days at most.

Originally, before the spring ploughing, the Zhao army had enough time to defeat the four kingdoms of Yanqi, Han and Wei, but the plan of drowning the chestnut belly made the Zhao army delay for half a month, resulting in a little lack of time now.

But fortunately, Zhao Kuo's purpose was not to capture Linzi and destroy the Qi State. Rather, it was to take the initiative in the subsequent peace talks with Qi and obtain sufficient benefits from Qi State.

Now Zhao Kuo is going to completely bring out the momentum, put on a posture of not destroying the Qi State and not giving up, and let the Qi State take the initiative to send an envoy to sue for peace.

"King, news came from the rear, General Lian Po beheaded Tian Sheng, the main general of the Qi army, Tian Fen and Tian Yang, captured 200,000 Qi troops, and beheaded 50,000." Liu Pingyu reports.

"Good. It really deserves to be the Optimus White Jade Pillar of my Zhao Kingdom! Zhao Kuo said excitedly, he originally just planned to let Lian Po block the Qi army, but he didn't expect Lian Po to capture all the Qi troops in one battle. The order was given, so that Lian Po immediately led his troops to come, and the soldiers surrounded Linzi. ”

"King, there is one more thing ......" Liu Ping looked left and right, everyone wanted to come forward to congratulate, but seeing Liu Ping like this, they consciously retreated a little farther.

Of course, this distance is useless for these strong people, as long as they want to eavesdrop, they can always hear it, but no one will do this kind of thing that is not good for themselves and is easy to offend Zhao Kuo.

"Say it." Zhao Kuo said.

"General Lian Po killed Chang Anjun...... Liu Ping told the story, partly of which Lian Po said in the letter, and partly of it was secretly passed on to Liu Ping by intelligence officers.

"Kill it, kill it, what's the big deal." Zhao Kuo waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

It's just a Chang'an Jun, what does he think is the matter!

"Pingyuan-jun and Pingyang-jun ......," Liu Ping said with some concern.

"They'll understand." Zhao Kuo said in a deep voice.

If Chang Anjun has always been honest, even if he returns to Zhao State in the future, with Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao to protect him, Zhao Kuo has no reason to kill him.

But now that Chang Anjun sent it to the door himself, even if Lian Po didn't kill him, Zhao Kuo would execute him, and now Lian Po just chose to help Zhao Kuo carry this black cauldron.

Even if Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao were unhappy, they couldn't say it.

To be honest, Zhao Kuo really didn't expect Lian Po to kill Chang Anjun directly, and according to Lian Po's previous practice, he would give Chang Anjun to Zhao Kuo and let Zhao Kuo deal with it, or secretly let Chang Anjun go.

Now that Lian Po chooses to trust him, he will not live up to Lian Po's trust.

……

In Linzi City, in the luxurious and extravagant palace, there was a sound of crackling and falling things.

"It's all rubbish, a bunch of rubbish, rubbish...... Everyone else went to the city only to find out, is the widow's money used to support this group of waste? Summons an order to behead all the county commanders along the way and show them to the public......"

Qi Wangjian roared angrily, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, his chest fell together, and his eyes were full of anger.

Ten days, it only took ten days for the Zhao army to fight from the border to the country of Qi!

What's even more unbelievable is that in the past ten days, he has not received any news of the Zhao army's attack, and no one has passed the information to him.

What's the use of him keeping this bunch of waste?

The subordinates knelt beside them tremblingly, the ground was full of broken cups, a mess, and a maid had blood dripping from her forehead, and she didn't dare to move, for fear of annoying the king of Qi, not only would she be executed, but her family would also be affected.

After venting, Qi Wangjian sat on the ground, staring blankly ahead.

The Zhao army was in the city, and all the armies of Qi were on the front line, and he didn't know what to use to block the Zhao army.

"Alright, you all stand down." At this moment, a soft voice came from outside the hall, and then a richly dressed woman stepped up the steps and slowly walked in.

The woman is extremely beautiful, and the years do not seem to have left many traces on her body, and her delicate appearance reveals the majesty of the superior.

When the people heard this, they withdrew from the main hall as if they had been granted amnesty.

"The Queen Mother." When Qi Wangjian saw the comer, he pounced and cried bitterly, "Queen Mother, Zhao Guo has hit the city, what can I do now, I just said that I shouldn't have provoked Zhao Guo ...... in the first place."

"Isn't it Zhao Junbing coming to the city? What panic? In troubled times, which country has not been besieged several times? What's the big deal? Isn't it okay to fight back, what kind of system is it to cry and cry? As the monarch of my Qi country, can't you be a bit of a monarch? Empress Dowager Qi reprimanded angrily.

When Qi Wangjian heard this, he silently wiped away his tears, got up from the ground, walked to the seat and knelt down, and looked at his mother in fear.

There are so many people in Qi State, he is not afraid of anyone, but the queen mother.

"Let me ask you, when I invited Zhou Zi to assist you, why did you drive him away?" Empress Dowager Qi said in a deep voice.

"I didn't drive him away, he left on his own." Qi Wangjian said in a low voice, and then saw the sharp gaze of the Empress Dowager Qi, and hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to speak.

Empress Dowager Qi sighed, when the first king just died, she had been in charge for a period of time, and when King Qi was completed, she returned to him.

King Qi Jian is weak by nature, but he is also quite smart, and there is no problem in being a king of success, so the Empress Dowager Qi is also relieved.

Who would have thought that after the king of Qi took charge, he suddenly changed his temperament, he was arrogant and lascivious all day long, and he didn't care about the government, and in just two years, he actually defeated the country of Qi into what it is now.

It's really mud that can't hold up the wall!
