"Treat the wounded first, the prisoners will wait for a while and then line up to register, and the injured of the Qin army will also be treated." Li Mu advised.

"I didn't expect it to be so smooth." Fan Zeng walked over from behind and said with a smile, he thought that the Qin army could struggle for a while, but as a result, the rear army surrendered, and the whole army collapsed directly.

"The two armies are fighting, and what they fight is the momentum, and the Qin State has been defeated repeatedly in the face of our Zhao State, and the army has long been gone. When I saw my Zhao army on the battlefield, the morale was weakened by three points before it was hit, and when the army fell into a disadvantage, the morale would plummet, plus someone took the lead in surrendering......" Li Mu shook his head, in this case, even he couldn't think of how to win.

"General, if you capture a general of the Qin Army, it's still an extraordinary realm." At this time, Le Cheng walked over from not far away with Xin Sheng in his hand, "This guy wanted to escape, and he happened to hit me."

"A few years ago, the Qin State lost so many transcendent realms, and it was still possible to take out three." Sima Shang sighed, worthy of being the largest country back then, and the heritage is indeed not comparable to other countries.

"Send a letter to the king, report the situation on the front, and ask the king to arrange for officials to come and take over to avoid chaos." Li Mu said to Fan Zeng that this kind of change of regime is the most chaotic time in various places, and it is also the most prone to murder and robbery and other violations of law and discipline.

Zhao didn't want that after reunification, there would be outlaws everywhere, the world would be in chaos, and it would take countless energy to sweep away the evil and eliminate evil.

What Zhao wanted was a stable Central Plains, quickly emerging from the effects of regime change, and then developing steadily, concentrating on the outside world.

……

After the Qin army escaped for dozens of miles, seeing that the Zhao army did not pursue, and gradually slowed down, Li Xin tore off the blood-stained remnant armor from his body, threw it to the ground, and looked at Wang Jian in embarrassment: "General, what should we do next?"

In just one battle, more than 100,000 troops were lost, and only thousands of Longxi cavalry were left behind.

To put it mildly, now that the commander of the Zhao army is tied to the pig, it is impossible for the Qin army to win.

The gap between the two sides is too great.

The military gap is still secondary, and the most important thing is that the old Qin people have already been disappointed in the Qin State, and they would rather surrender than fight for the Qin State.

Otherwise, it would not have happened just now, the Qin army was only slightly declining, and as soon as the Zhao army raised its arms, tens of thousands of rear troops knelt down and surrendered, which directly led to the instant collapse of the Qin army, which was still fighting hard.

Wang Jian could only throw away the infantry and lead the Longxi cavalry to escape.

The old Qin people were the foundation of the Qin state.

Supporting the old Qin and going to the national disaster together is also the reason why the Qin State has stood firm in crises again and again.

Now, it's all gone......

Before the battle, Li Xinzhong still had some hope for defeating Zhao's army, and this hope mainly came from Wang Qian.

The ability of the commanders of both sides largely determines the direction of the war, and Li Xin knows that Wang Qian's ability is definitely the top in the world, and it may not be impossible to defeat the strong with the weak.

But when the Qin army surrendered en masse, Li Xin's heart was completely dead......

Without the support of the old Qin people, it is useless for anyone to come, this is not something that one or two famous generals can solve.

"Let's go to Yixian County to repair it first, and then ...... Report the battle to the king." Wang Qian's heart was full of bitterness, he didn't expect to be defeated so quickly, "I hope there will be good news from Xiangguo, if Xiangguo can defeat the enemy army on the Western Road, and the four kingdoms of Han, Wei, Qi and Chu will send troops to attack Zhao again, Li Mu will definitely withdraw his troops." At that time, it will be possible for me to form an alliance with Qin, Chu, Qi, Wei, and Han, and it will still be possible to confront Zhao."

Having said that, Wang Jian did not have the slightest confidence in Lü Buwei's victory over Pang Xuan, although Pang Bhu's fame was not as good as Li Mu's, but he was also a battle-hardened general, and Lü Buwei ...... It's just a literati who has never led an army to fight.

Wang Jian guessed one thing correctly, Lü Buwei really failed to defeat Pang Xuan.

also guessed a little wrong, although Lü Buwei failed to defeat Pang Xuan, the problem was not with him......

In fact, Lü Buwei did much better than Wang Jian imagined.

As early as the battle of Qin and Zhao a few years ago, Le Cheng led a large army to capture Longshan and control the Weishui Road and Guanlong Road in the southern section, as far as the north

The Wating Road, the Chicken Head Road, and the Fansu Road have always been in the hands of the Qin State.

Therefore, Lü Buwei chose to divide his troops into two routes, and led his army to personally garrison Chencang to defend Weishui Road, and ordered Fan to be stationed in Huanglu to defend Guanlong Road.

After arriving in Chencang, Lü Buwei immediately sent people to strengthen the city wall day and night, making a posture of stubborn defense, and resolutely not out of the Zhao army.

The Qin army was all requisitioned farmers, and they would definitely not be able to defeat the Zhao army in frontal combat, so they could only rely on the city wall to defend it.

And Chen Cang is located at the intersection of Weishui and Huangshui, and if the Zhao army wants to attack Yongcheng from Weishuidao, Chen Cang will not be able to bypass it no matter what.

In the face of the attack of the Zhao army, Lü Buwei personally risked being hit by a catapult and pierced by arrows, and defended the city with the soldiers every day, inspiring the soldiers with words and money, and eating and living with the soldiers.

With Lü Buwei's efforts, Pang Xuan failed to take down Chen Cangcheng in person several times.

But Chen Cang has no accident, it doesn't mean that Huang Mo won't have an accident.

Originally, it was just a small and inconspicuous town, but it stood out because of the large pine forests and the popularity of smoke and ink, and the quality of the ink was very good.

Its geographical location is just at the intersection of Huangshui and Guanlong Road, and if it holds Huanglu, the Zhao army will not be able to move south.

In fact, the Qin army originally had a better defensive location, but it had been occupied by the Zhao army, so it could only retreat to the second.

"General Fan, how are you thinking about it?" In Elk City, Feng Quji sat on the chair and looked at Fan Yuqi with a smile.

"The current Qin State is no longer the Qin State of the past, not only the national strength has declined, but the old Qin people have also lost confidence in the Qin State, which is a sign of the demise of the country. If the general abandons the darkness and turns to the light now, he can still fight for glory and wealth, but if he waits for my Zhao army to break through the city, it will be too late to regret it."

"Please give me a few days to think about it." Fan Yuzhi hesitated, he knew that what Feng Quji said was the truth, but he still had some feelings for the Qin State and was unwilling to betray the Qin State.

"If the general agrees today, he agrees, and if he doesn't, I, Zhao Guo, will refuse as a general." Feng Qujian tapped his fingers back and forth on the table, and said calmly, "I, Zhao Guo, just don't want to cause too much killing, not afraid of the Qin army."

"The king and Xiangguo have the grace of knowing the king, and they can't bear to turn their backs on the king, so please ...... sir." Fan Yuzhi hesitated, but still waved his hand and said.

"This is the information that my Zhao Jun just received, and the general is sure not to read it before making a decision?" Feng Quji took out a note and handed it to Fan Yuzhi.

"General Wang Jian was defeated so quickly!" Fan Yuzhi took the note, opened it, stood up in shock, and looked at Feng Quji, "Is this all true?"

"Does the General think I need to lie to you?" Feng Qujian said with a smile.

Fan Yuzhi seemed to have his whole body drained, and the whole person collapsed on the seat, looking ahead with blank eyes.

Feng Qujian sat quietly next to him without urging.

After a long while, Fan Yuzhi finally came back to his senses, made up his mind, and bowed down to Feng Quji: "The last general is willing to return to the Zhao Kingdom."

Even Wang Jian was defeated, and he was defeated so quickly, he no longer saw any hope of defeating Zhao Jun.

Even if it continues to hold on, it doesn't make any sense, it is better to surrender to the Zhao State, in exchange for glory and wealth, and at the same time, let the Qin State die less.

"Okay, general, please get up." Feng Quji was overjoyed, and hurriedly helped Fan Yuzhi up, "Please also ask the general to order the city gate to be opened."

"The last general will give the order." Fan Yuzhi nodded.

An hour later, Zhao's army successfully entered the city.

"Good job." Feng Ting walked over, patted Feng Quji's shoulder heavily, and said with relief.

My son has grown up!

Feng Quji lowered his head a little embarrassed, this was the first time his father praised him in public.

"Dad, I think we should take advantage of the fact that the Qin State has not yet reacted and lead the cavalry to attack Yongcheng. Even if you can't take Yongcheng, you can force the two armies of Lü Buwei and Wang Jian to come back to help, and when the time comes, you will be able to take Yongcheng by combining the two armies of Wu Anjun and General Pang Xuan." Feng Qu said with a fist clenched.

It was only fifty or sixty miles away from Yongcheng, and with the speed of the cavalry of the Zhao army, it would not take long to arrive.

"That's right, give the order, and all the cavalry will gather outside the city immediately!" When Feng Ting heard this, he hurriedly summoned the deputy general, handed over the affairs of the city and the infantry to him, and led the cavalry towards Yongcheng.

……

In the evening, the last afterglow of the sunset sprinkled on the ancient city wall of Yongcheng, pulling the small figures for a long time.

"King, it's getting dark, let's go back." The guard said cautiously.

"Wait." Xiao Chengjiao held the female wall with both hands, and looked at the southwest direction, why hasn't there been any news from the middle father, has he defeated Zhao Jun, and he also promised to bring me a pony......

"If there is any news, Xiangguo will definitely send someone to send it." The guard said.

"Okay." Xiao Chengjiao reluctantly turned his head, and was about to return to the palace, when his face suddenly changed, he seemed to have seen it just now......

Cheng Jiao hurriedly looked back, only to see that on the horizon in the distance, a cavalry was moving rapidly towards Yongcheng, with dust and smoke billowing behind him, and he couldn't see how many people there were at all.

"Quick, quickly inform the soldiers to defend the city, the Zhao army is coming!" Xiao Chengjiao said urgently.

At this time, the soldiers guarding the city also discovered the Zhao army outside the city, and hurriedly beat the war drums at the head of the city, and the guards protected Xiao Chengjiao to quickly go down the city.

"King, the army has been taken away by Xiangguo and the general, and only the old, weak, sick and disabled are left in the city, and I am afraid that they will not be able to hold it." When an old minister saw Cheng Jiao, he knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

"Yes, my lord, for the sake of today, there is only one way to surrender in Kaesong." Another minister said on his knees.

"Perhaps...... You can also move the capital." Yangquanjun sighed, he was unwilling to surrender to Zhao, but Yongcheng really couldn't hold it, maybe moving the capital to Chengdu could still survive for some time.

"Outside the city are the cavalry of the Zhao State, what is the difference between moving the capital at this time and throwing yourself into the net?" One of the ministers said loudly.

"The Zhao army only has about 10,000, and it is impossible to surround all the four walls, so there is still a great hope of escorting the king to escape. If you stay in the city, you will die."

The ministers quarreled one after another, and no one would let anyone.

After a quarter of an hour, Cheng Jiao finally couldn't help it, and said angrily: "Shut up, immediately send a message to the middle father and the general, before the middle father and the general come back, no one is allowed to mention the surrender of the city and the relocation of the capital. Those who dare to speak will be killed."

At this moment, Cheng Jiao is no longer a seven-year-old child, but the monarch of Qin.

He can see that these people in the court of the Qin State are talking about loyalty and benevolence, but in fact, none of them take him seriously, they are all trying to sell him for a good price and get benefits from the hands of Zhao State.

"Middle Father...... Come back soon." Cheng Jiao looked at the southwest and muttered.

He really didn't know how to choose, sometimes, he really wished that he was born in an ordinary family and didn't have to bear the responsibility of the entire Qin State.

Qin Guo is too heavy, he can't carry it!

……

Chen Cang.

After a tiring day, Lü Buwei returned to the house exhausted.

After several unsuccessful attempts to attack the city, the Zhao army gave up the assault and instead bombarded the city day and night with catapults, although the casualties caused were not large, but it was a great blow to the morale of the Qin army.

Lü Buwei could only stay with the soldiers to boost morale and strengthen everyone's determination to defend the city.

To be honest, Lü Buwei doesn't know when to defend it, but even so, this city must be defended......

"You have been the king of Qin for a few years, and you will leave it alone, throw a mess on Lao Tzu's head, and ask Lao Tzu to help you take care of your son......" Lu Buwei muttered in a low voice.

If Zichu stood in front of him, he would have to jump up and beat him violently.

At this time, a soldier led the messenger into the courtyard, and when he saw Lü Buwei, the two hurriedly saluted: "Meet Xiangguo."

"Xiangguo, the big thing is not good, the Zhao army hit the city of Yongcheng, and the king urgently summoned Xiangguo back to Yongcheng." The messenger took the letter out of his bosom

piece, handed to Lü Buwei.

"What did you say? Has Zhao Jun hit Yongcheng?" Lu Buwei's face changed instantly, and he snatched the letter from the messenger's hand, and opened it with trembling hands.

After a while, the letter slowly slipped out of his hand, and Lu Buwei's face was like ashes.

"...... The kingdom of Xiangguo is true, and the king has seen it with his own eyes." The messenger said tremblingly.

"Beat the drum and gather all the troops to return to Yongcheng with the general." After a long while, Lu Buwei said in a hoarse voice.

After he leaves, Chen Cang will definitely be broken by the Zhao army, and instead of losing some soldiers in vain, it is better to bring them all back to Yongcheng and hold on for a while longer.

……

Yi County.

"Don't worry about how to stop Zhao Jun, Zhao Jun has already hit Yongcheng." Wang Jian received the news and shook his head bitterly.

He was still thinking about whether to give up the defense, and took the Longxi cavalry deep into the rear to harass the Zhao army's grain road, and the Zhao army had already hit the city of Yongcheng.

"When did Zhao Jun pass?" Li Xin stood up abruptly and looked at Wang Jian in shock.

"I don't know." Wang Jian shook his head, got up and walked outside, "Get ready, let's go back to Yongcheng."
