Chapter 59: Zhao Shi descends to Qin
When Zhao Shi stood on the tower of Sihui City and saw the dense South Vietnamese army under the city, he immediately understood that Zhao Tuo had already killed himself, if his father did not have the intention to do something to him, then where did so many South Vietnamese troops under the city of Sihui come from? Obviously, these soldiers and horses under the city came with the imperial history. After figuring this out, a sense of sadness that Zhao Shi had never felt before emerged in his heart.
Although Zhao Shi had expected that Zhao Tuo would do it to himself, when Zhao Shi saw with his own eyes that Zhao Tuo sent to exterminate his army, he still couldn't accept it for a while, after all, it was his biological father.
Looking at the surging thousands of troops and horses under Sihui City, a tear quickly flashed from the corner of Zhao Shi's eyes.
Half an hour later, Zhao Shi returned to Sihui County in despair.
"Shizi, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that Zhao Shi's face was not very good, Jia Heng stepped forward and asked.
Zhao Shi ignored Jia Heng, but walked towards the county government hall like a walking corpse, and after staggering Jia Heng a few steps, Zhao Shi looked back at Jia Heng and asked, "How is the contact with Fusu?" ”
Zhao Shi did not answer Jia Heng's question, but led the topic to Fusu.
"Yu Shizi, the humble post has already conveyed your meaning to the people of Fusu, presumably Fusu should know at this moment."
"That's good, you can step back first!"
After Zhao Shi finished speaking, he walked slowly to the case, and sat down on the mat with difficulty, and the process of sitting down was as difficult as an old man.
Looking at Zhao Shi's painful and helpless appearance, Jia Heng suddenly felt a little sympathy for Zhao Shi in his heart, born in the Nanyue Palace, he should have lived an enviable life, but what about this Zhao Shi? There is a father who is too suspicious, and he has met a group of courtiers who "eat inside and outside" like himself, which is really a trick! The saddest thing is that this product is actually under the same bright moon as Fusu, an opponent with a mind like a demon.
When Jia Heng walked out of the county hall, he saw a group of colleagues rushing to the county hall in a hurry.
"Why did you get out?" One of the generals of the unified army looked at Jia Heng and asked.
"Well, don't talk about it." Jia Heng replied with a sigh.
These people no longer paid attention to Jia Heng, but continued to walk towards the county government hall.
"Everyone, don't disturb the prince for now, let the prince be alone for a while."
Jia Heng stopped a group of colleagues and suggested helplessly.
Seeing the helpless look in Jia Heng's eyes, the colleagues guessed that Zhao Shi was in a bad mood, so they had to retreat to Jia Heng and accompany Jia Heng to stand outside the county hall and wait.
Half an hour later, a guard from Zhao Shi's side came out to send a message to Jia Heng and the others, telling Jia Heng and the others that Zhao Shi invited them to go to the lobby to discuss politics.
When Jia Heng and a group of colleagues walked into the county hall of the county government, Zhao Shi had already hidden his previous decadence, and waited for Jia Heng and the others with firm eyes.
"Ladies and gentlemen, have you seen the thousands of troops and horses under these Sihui cities? They are not here to help us resist the Qin army, but to exterminate us. Why, just because the current king of Nanyue is unkind, he listens to rumors and suspects that I have a heart of disobedience. Ladies and gentlemen, when my South Vietnam was surviving under the might of the Qin army, who was resisting? It was you who fought with me to resist the invasion of the Qin army that gave me this moment of peace in South Vietnam, but what did we get in exchange for our efforts? Suspicion, encirclement and suppression. ”
Zhao Shi looked at the people in front of him and said hatefully.
Among these people standing in front of Zhao Shi were not only the staff of the Shizifu, but also the generals of the unified army, and among them, there were several people who had their hearts set on Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue.
"Shizi, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding in this, right?" A lieutenant of the United Army with his heart towards Zhao Tuo spoke.
Looking at the commander in front of him who didn't want to believe him, Zhao Shi took out the edict from his arms.
"Since you don't believe me, please take a look at this!" Zhao Shi said and handed over the edict that had been passed down to him by the imperial history to the commander of the unified army who defended Zhao Tuo.
After a while, the commander of the army put away the edict in his hand and shook his head helplessly.
"Prince, this edict alone cannot tell that the king suspects you." The captain of the unified army who defended Zhao Tuo was still quibbling unrelentingly.
"If this edict doesn't explain anything, then how can the tens of thousands of troops under this city explain?" Zhao Shiyin smiled and looked at the commander in front of him and asked.
The commander was stopped by Zhao Shi for a while, and looked at it a little uncomfortably.
"Son of the world, I still don't believe what you say."
"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, the point is that I have believed it and they believe it." Zhao Shi pointed to Jia Heng and the others and said.
"We also believe what the prince said," several commanders of the unified army who had been bribed by the Ying Long Army said in unison.
"How can you do that!" The previous commander looked at everyone resentfully and said.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we were originally Qin people, how could the king of Nanyue rebel against the lord and rebel against the sky, cut off the four counties of Nanyue to stand on his own, made my Zhao family bear the infamy of treason, and even made my four counties of Nanyue out of the rule of Great Qin. Now the prince of the Great Qin Prison State has a way of governing the country, and the national strength of the Great Qin is even worse than one day, and it is not at this time to wait for when. I intend to return to Great Qin, in the name of the treason of my Zhao clan. If any of you are willing to return to Great Qin with me, please stand up. Zhao Shi glanced at everyone and said.
"Yu Shizi, I am willing to return to Daqin with the Shizi."
"I am willing to do it even below"
"The son of the world, he is willing to be humble."
……
After a while, most of the people in the hall stood up and expressed their willingness to follow Zhao Shi to surrender to Great Qin.
The previous captain of the unified army who defended Zhao Tuo looked at everyone decadently, so many people were willing to surrender to the Qin State, how could he stop it. The lieutenant pondered for a moment and drew his sword in resentment.
Seeing someone draw their swords, several generals of the unified army who expressed their willingness to follow Zhao Shi immediately protected Zhao Shi in the middle, and drew their swords and pointed at the commander of the unified army who drew his sword.
"Since you insist on surrendering to Qin, I won't block your way, I have betrayed Great Qin with the King of Nanyue, and it is enough to do it once in this life."
After speaking, the commander of the army put the long sword in his hand on his neck, glanced at Zhao Shi and the others angrily, and then killed himself.
"Come on, bury this person!"
A trace of guilt flashed in Zhao Shi's eyes, and he ordered the guards in a low tone.
……
Half a day later, the officers and soldiers of the South Vietnamese army who came to encircle and suppress Zhao Shi saw that the soldiers on the head of Sihui City pulled down the Nanyue Daxu, threw it under the city wall, and replaced it with a Daxu embroidered with the word "Qin" in seal style.
It was not until this moment that the officers and soldiers of the South Vietnamese Army under the walls of Sihui understood that Zhao Shi had surrendered to Qin.
