Chapter 255: Counting is counting

In a gorgeous mansion in Pengcheng.

"You're scared the hell out of me."

Qu Ming clutched his chest, thinking of the scene just now, he was still a little scared.

Fortunately, the other party was just scaring him, otherwise he would have been killed by random arrows.

Qu Song sat on the main seat, peeled an orange and threw it into his mouth, and said, "Say, what do you want to do for those Qin people when you come to Pengcheng? If you don't have anything to say, I'll lock you up and give it to Zuo Sima when the time comes."

"Zuo Sima really sent someone to deliver a message to you, it seems that he is following behind this Qin army?" Qu Ming was taken aback.

Qu Song sneered: "Of course, you'Qu An, the general helped this Qin army make a lot of trouble, and he made a big fuss in Huainan, and he defrauded Qiyi in Huaibei, broke through Fuli, and stirred up chaos in my Chu country."

"But the good days of you and this Qin army are also over, Zuo Sima has already chased after him with an army of 10,000, and even asked Xinqi to make a detour to Zhuyi to send me an order, so that I can block the Qin army in Pengcheng, and when his army arrives, you will all be turned into dead corpses."

Qu Ming swallowed his saliva, and his thighs trembled unconsciously.

The newly appointed Zuo Sima was really powerful, not only quickly locked the trail of Zhao Tuo's Qin army, but also made the messenger detour and ordered Peng Cheng to intercept it.

This time, there are 3,000 Chu soldiers blocking the road in front, and 10,000 troops chasing after it, even if Qin *** Hou named Zhao Tuo has the ability, it is difficult to fly.

This Qin army of more than 5,000 people, it seems that no one can escape.

But in that case, he Qu Ming was also dead.

Just because Qu Ming surrendered to the Qin army and helped the Qin people, he would never let him go.

Therefore, Qu Ming must realize his plan before Zuo Sima's army exterminates this Qin army, so as to win a glimmer of life and jump out of this mortal situation.

Qu Ming didn't want to die.

Although he had just been captured by the Qin army, he had the intention of committing suicide and martyrdom, and wanted to show the demeanor of a man in Chu and not fall into the glory of his surname. But his little bit of pride and ambition was immediately cleaned up by Zhao Tuo's waterboarding.

After that, Qu Ming surrendered to the Qin army and helped them escape from the city, once they were born, two times they were cooked, and they became numb and at the mercy of the third and fourth times.

After the death intent in the heart subsides, it can no longer be raised.

I don't know how good the life of the aristocracy is these years, brocade clothes and food, beautiful wives and concubines, singing and dancing every day, who can be willing to die?

Even if Qu Ming became disabled, he didn't want to die, and he wanted to go back to the old days. And now, it is his only chance to turn over.

He took a deep breath and said, "Brother, I came here this time, just to ask you to remember the blood of our Qu clan and save my life. And then...... I'm going to give you a great job!"

"Save you? Great achievement?"

Qu Song furrowed his eyebrows.

Seeing that the other party was puzzled, Qu Ming hurriedly said his plan.

The 3,000 Chu army in Pengcheng can be done to block and entangle the 5,000 Qin army and delay it for several days.

But in that case, the credit for annihilating this Qin army would fall into the hands of Zuo Sima Zhaoping.

Qu Song received a maximum of two words of praise and a few rewards, but there was no substantial reward at all, but he would lose his troops as a result.

….

Qu Ming will fall into the hands of Zhaoping and be taken back to Shouchun to suffer revenge.

With such an ending, it is better for the two to join forces to make a scene, coaxing Qin Jun and making Qin Jun defenseless.

Qu Song could then take the opportunity to raid the Qin army, annihilate the Qin army in one fell swoop before the arrival of Zuo Sima's army, and capture the Qin general Xin Wu and the soldier named Zhao Tuo.

In this way, the great merit of destroying the enemy is all Qu Song's.

Qu Ming can also use this battle to show his loyalty to the King of Chu, and say that his previous humiliation was a burden of humiliation, waiting for the opportunity to exterminate the Qin army.

With his knowledge of the negative scum, he knew that this king only looked at profits. As long as Qu Ming can prove his worth, with the head of the generals of the Qin army, he will definitely be forgiven, and even when he is happy, he will reward him again

Adventitious.

"It's a win-win. Brother you, you can get a great merit, and I can live, so why not do it?"

Qu Ming looked at the other party with blank eyes, this was the plan he racked his brains to come up with, so he did not hesitate to swear in front of the generals of the Qin army, just to gain Zhao Tuo's trust to implement this strategy.

Qu Song furrowed his eyebrows.

To be honest, he was a little tempted.

He had already learned from the messenger sent by Zhaoping that this Qin army had made a big deal in Huainan, and the king even offered a high bounty for this.

Capture the chief general of the Qin army and reward 500 gold.

Those who capture the black buttocks of the Qin generals will be rewarded with 100 gold.

This is a lot of money, not to mention that if he can annihilate the five thousand Qin army, he will definitely be promoted because of this, and he may even worship as a feudal king.

Seeing Qu Song's hesitation, Qu Ming continued to increase: "Brother, don't forget that Zuo Sima is a member of the Zhao clan, the Zhao clan and the Jing clan are close, but they are not on good terms with my Qu clan. If I let that Zuo Sima make a great contribution again, and I die a tragic death because of it, then the king will definitely favor the Zhao clan in the future, and how should I deal with it?"

Hearing this, Qu Song was shocked.

Yes, this matter is also related to the interests of the Qu clan.

Since the Sanlu doctor Qu Yuan was exiled by the king of Chu.

Their Qu clan's status in the political arena of Chu has always been inferior to that of Zhao and Jing Er. It wasn't until Qu Ming followed the usurper of the throne that their Qu clan had a celebrity in front of the king.

Now that Qu Ming has been convicted, once he is caught and sentenced to death, then their Qu family's status will plummet.

On the contrary, because of Zhaoping's meritorious service, the status of the Zhao family may be further upward. The relationship between the Zhao and Jing clans is good, so their Qu clan will be suppressed for decades.

Family interests are more important than anything else.

This is also why Qu Song was willing to let him enter the city and listen to his relationship when he knew that Qu Ming had betrayed the Chu State and attached himself to the Qin army.

Family interests, promotions, and high bounties.

This weight is enough for him to fight.

Qu Song gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then listen to you, what do you say I should do." Five thousand Qin troops, these three thousand people in my city may not be able to take it."

Qu Ming smiled slyly.

"Attack it unprepared, take it by surprise."

"Lower your vigilance and raid the camp at night!"

……

A day later, on the main road outside Pengcheng.

A Qin army of more than 5,000 men was marching slowly.

"Pengcheng...... It's Xuzhou in the future."

….

Zhao Tuo stood on the carriage and looked sideways at the city a hundred meters away, only to see that the city wall was towering, and there were many Chu soldiers standing on it, and it was difficult to take it at a glance.

He couldn't help but secretly said in his heart: "Pengcheng is not only geographically controllable, but also has strong walls, no wonder Xiang Yu will set his capital here in the future."

Thinking of this, Zhao Tuo turned his head to look at Qu Ming who was sitting in the car, and said with a smile: "This time, thanks to General Qu Ming, I can say that Qu Song can get out of the way and sit in the city and watch. Otherwise, we will stop here, and it will be difficult for us to advance an inch, until we are caught up by the Zuo Sima."

Qu Ming hurriedly said humbly: "It's still Zhao Junhou's trust, otherwise I can't do anything."

At this moment, a war horse galloped over and ran parallel beside the car.

On the war horse, Zhao Guang, the two or five hundred lords, said in a low voice: "The soldiers have been prepared, if the Chu army in the city dares to come out to attack, we will definitely give him a head-on blow."

"Hmm."

Zhao Tuo waved his hand and asked Zhao Guang to go down. Turning his head to Qu Ming, he explained, "I have to be more vigilant about the military war, General Qu doesn't mind."

When Qu Ming heard this, he laughed dryly: "It should be, it should be, the military is really careful."

said this, but Qu Ming couldn't help but rejoice in his heart.

When the plan was made before, Qu Song had thought of a way, that is, to pretend to get out of the way to Peiyi, and when the Qin army passed through the Pengcheng Road, he suddenly opened the city gate and launched an attack

Kill.

But this plan was rejected by Qu Ming, because he knew that although Zhao Junhou was young, he was scheming, and he passed through Pengcheng, how could he not be guarded. Qu Ming's approach is no different from fighting head-on.

Three thousand against five thousand, when the time comes, it will be another fierce battle, even if the Chu army can win by waiting for work and sudden attacks, it will definitely be a tragic victory.

And if he can't hit with one blow, destroy the Qin army, and capture the Qin general, then Qu Ming will not be able to turn over.

"You still have to listen to me, let go of the road and let the Qin army pass. When they walk through Pengcheng, they will definitely let their guard down, thinking that you are genuinely helpful. Wait until the evening, and then you lead the army to attack the Qin camp, the Qin people are unprepared and will definitely be defeated. In this way, your 3,000 army can break through 5,000 Qin people, and in the chaos of the army, it is also possible to kill or capture Qin generals, this is a great achievement, and I can also be forgiven for it."

"Then how do you get out at night?"

"When the Qin army passes through Pengcheng, they will definitely relax their vigilance against me, and I will see the opportunity to act again when the time comes. And if you attack the camp, the Qin army will definitely be in chaos, and you may not be able to take care of me, this is my chance to live, and it is easier to get out of this way than to attack during the day. And I can afford to take the risk."

The two of them made a plan.

Sure enough, early this morning, Pengcheng was closed at the four gates, giving way to the road to the north, and there were no checkpoints to intercept it. Let this Qin army pass through the road smoothly.

After about five miles of Pengcheng, the Qin army found more than 20 carts full of grain and grass in a forest.

[In view of the general environment,

"Soldier, this is the grain that Qu Song sent his cronies to quietly send here last night, which shows that his heart of help is very sincere. It's just to avoid being discovered, so no horses are left here, and the soldiers may have to let the soldiers push the carts away." Qu Ming said with a smile.

….

"Haha, General Qu Song is really a good person, such food and straw is enough for us to eat Peiyi."

Zhao Tuo did not doubt, but praised Qu Songlai.

Qu Ming sneered in his heart.

Good?

Good people are coming to take your dog's life tonight!

How many miles can you travel in a day with a grain cart without horses?

Sure enough, as Qu Ming expected, after leaving Pengcheng, this Qin army only walked more than ten miles, and it was dusk.

The Qin army began to camp in an open area.

When Qu Ming entered the barracks in a carriage, he looked around and saw that the grass was tall and dense on both sides of the road, and there seemed to be a forest in the distance.

He couldn't help but sneer in his heart: "This is a suitable place for ambushes, if the Qin army ambushes here, it will definitely be able to catch the pursuers off guard. It's a pity, you can't think of it."

Not long after Qu Ming entered the camp, a Qin pawn came over and said, "General Qu, the army invites you to go to the tent to discuss matters."

Qu Ming was taken aback, but then calmed down, feeling that the reason why Zhao Tuo was looking for him was mostly for the next Peiyi matter.

He relieved himself and asked the Qin pawn to carry him on a stretcher to the Qin army's tent.

As soon as he entered the tent, Qu Ming felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong.

All the generals of the Qin army were in the tent, but they all looked at him coldly.

That's not right.

"General Qu, now that our army has set up camp, can you tell me about your plan with Qu Song?"

Zhao Tuo opened his mouth.

Qu Ming's expression changed abruptly.

No way!

He must be lying to me!

I'll never say it, no matter what you do!

Qu Mingqiang said with a smile: "I don't know what the military is talking about, my plan with Qu Song is to help the monarchs leave, so as to make meritorious contributions and leave a way back for us in the Qin State."

"Really?"

Zhao Tuo stared at Qu Ming, with a playful smile on his face.

"Since General Qu Ming doesn't want to say, black buttocks, go to waterboarding."

"Let's see how long our iron-clad General Qu can hold out this time."

Hearing this, Qu Ming's facial features distorted.

water

Punishment.

It was the most terrible punishment in the world.

He screamed, "I say! I said!"

Brother.

I'm sorry.
