After the Battle of Huaiyang, in the face of the fleeing Chu army and the huge Chu territory, Wang Jian sent hundreds of thousands of troops out of each other.

All the way, led by Feng Wuxue and supplemented by two generals, he set out from Kuyi, led his troops eastward, and joined the partial division that went south from Suiyang. It swept the vast area from Ludi in the north to Fanghe and Huaishui in the south, including important cities of Chu such as Xia Xiang and Xia Pi.

On the other hand, tens of thousands of troops from the Southern Route were dispatched to clean up the areas west of Yingshui and north of Huaishui, including Xincai and other cities.

As for Wang Jian personally led the main force of the Chinese army, and the troops led by the deputy general Yang Duanhe converged, with Qiang Qi as the vanguard, all the way to attack the city and break the city, from Huyi to cross the Yingshui, the soldiers came to Cai, from there to cross the Huai, intending to point at Shouchun, in one fell swoop to destroy the king of the country.

At this time, Wang Jian walked down from the warship, and at a glance saw a young military general wearing a crane crown standing on the shore, looking at him with blazing eyes.

"General!"

"Zhao Tuo!"

An old man and a young man, the two of them shouted at the same time.

Zhao Tuo hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "The last general, Zhao Tuo, has seen the general. ”

Wang Jian patted Zhao Tuo's shoulder and said with a smile: "You Zhao Tuo boy, you have done a lot of deeds, which surprised the old man." ”

Zhao Tuo smiled shyly and said, "Zhao Tuo is a small merit, why worry about it." Compared with the general's efforts to destroy Yan and break Zhao, Zhao Tuo is just a firefly before Haoyue. ”

Hearing this, Wang Jian burst out laughing, he pointed sideways at a few young military officials who had just disembarked with him, and said with a smile: "You Zhao Tuo can speak, if your record of breaking 100,000 Qi troops is called fireflies, what are these descendants?" ”

Zhao Tuo's expression was stunned, especially when he saw that among those who followed off the boat, there was also Captain Meng Tian.

The other party also heard Wang Qian's words, and looked over expressionlessly, this meeting made Zhao Tuo feel even more embarrassed, so he could only nod politely to Meng Tian.

Meng Tian kept a straight face and turned a blind eye.

Fortunately, Wang Jian quickly led Zhao Tuo forward.

"You captured Shouchun Waiguo?"

Here comes the point.

Zhao Tuo didn't tell a lie, and said truthfully: "The king of Chu prayed to God to no avail, which made the people in the city scattered. I pretended to be a ghost and god to confuse the Chu people, but I didn't expect the effect to be extraordinary, and I went down to the outer city of Shouchun in a battle. ”

"Well, seize the opportunity to attack the hearts of the Chu people with ghosts and gods, and your actions can be called the best art of war."

Wang Jian praised, and then changed his words: "Then why don't you take advantage of the situation to capture the palace city and get the great merit of destroying the king of the country?" ”

Zhao Tuo swallowed his saliva, and saw that Wang Jian was looking at him with a smile, and he didn't know if Wang Jian was sneering.

He hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Zhao Tuo is a young general, he dares to surrender to the monarch of the enemy country beyond the rules, as for the great merit of destroying the country, how dare he swallow it alone, and he should be led by the general." ”

"Count you Zhao Tuo smart, if you swallow this great achievement of destroying the country alone, I don't know how many people in the hundreds of thousands of troops will complain about you."

Wang Jian smiled, his eyes full of approval.

He admired Zhao Tuo's military talent, but he admired this son's way of being a man even more.

People who can do things can climb to a high position with their ability.

But only if you can be a human being, you can sit in this position longer and live longer.

"The old man is here, and you are indispensable for your credit."

……

"Wang Jian is here."

In the Shouchun Chu Palace, when he heard that Wang Qian's army had set up camp outside the city, the King of Chu was full of despair.

He didn't even want to be cheeky, and asked Zhao Tuo to surrender three times in a row. In addition to wanting to negotiate conditions at the beginning, the remaining two times were to create a stumbling block for Zhao Tuo, and it was best to ruin this person's future future.

How do you know that although this Zhao Tuo is young, he is as steady as a mountain, whether it is the credit of destroying the country or the precious famous sword and jade, he can't move his heart.

"Zhao Tuo, isn't your heart as cold and hard as a golden stone?"

The King of Chu muttered to himself, and then his face became distorted again.

"When Wang Jian came, Nabu Gu sent someone in front of Wang Jian and said that he was only willing to surrender to you, Zhao Tuo. I want to see what Wang Jian will think of you! ”

"That Wang Jian and Wang Ben's father and son are all important ministers of the Qin State, as long as they have a grudge against you, you Zhao Tuo will suffer in the future, so it will not be in vain to suffer such humiliation."

The king of Chu has bitten his lip and is bleeding, even if he gives up everything, he will rely on that Zhao Tuo.

……

The endless camp of the Qin army represents the banner of Yu Baolong, the main general of the hundreds of thousands of Qin troops.

Sun Chang, the envoy of the Chu State, wiped the sweat from his forehead, he took a deep breath and walked in.

A moment later, in the big tent, General Qin's roar sounded.

"What? The king of Chu is only willing to surrender to Zhao Tuo? ”

"How can it be!"

"The general is here, he Zhao Tuo is just a general, how qualified is he to accept the surrender of a country's monarch, this is impossible!"

Qiang was furious on the spot, and his face was even more red and shiny.

He and Zhao Tuo have long had a dislike, although it is not to the point of life and death, but it is also the kind of relationship that is very unhappy when you see it. Even on the way to Shouchun, he made fun of it from time to time.

How do you know that as soon as he arrived in the land of Huainan, he heard that Zhao Tuo had captured the outer city of Shouchun, compared with what he said on the road, it was completely a slap in his face, which made him more and more dissatisfied.

That's it, even if Zhao Tuo knew each other, he didn't attack the Chu Palace, and he alone swallowed up the great merit of destroying the country, so that the Qiang fistula could also divide the profit to one or two, and the resentment was dissipated a little.

But now, what did the envoy of the Chu State say?

Is it reasonable that the king of Chu is only willing to surrender to Zhao Tuo?

Qiang roared angrily.

He is a Qiang person, and he will always yell out when there is something unpleasant.

The other generals in the tent were full of surprise, and their eyes fell on the young general who was sitting under Wang Qian.

They are not as jealous as Qiang, and everyone now knows that after Zhao Tuo broke through Shouchun, he let Chu Palace not fight, waiting for them to share the merits.

It's a personal favor.

A capable and well-behaved general like Zhao Tuo is also deeply favored by the king, and it is too late for them to make friends, so how can they grudge with each other at such a time.

Therefore, they looked at Zhao Tuo with only curiosity.

What is the charm of this Zhao Tuo, who can make the king of Chu ignore Wang Jian and only surrender to him?

In the eyes of everyone, either angry or curious, Zhao Tuo's scalp was numb.

This King of Chu, how can he still rely on him.

Zhao Tuo didn't understand why the King of Chu had to ask him to surrender, could it be because he scared the other party by the sneak attack last year, and gave him a "surprise" when he prayed to God this year, so did this King of Chu have a "good impression" of him?

What is the drama of falling in love with the do-iter after being beaten.

This made Zhao Tuo speechless.

At this time, in the face of Qiang's angry questioning, the envoys of Chu were sweating, but they still insisted on explaining: "This is the god of my king's night dream, and the god instructed Zhao Tuo, the one who destroyed Chu, and the Chu people in the past took out the silk book from the belly of the fish, and the silk also wrote this word." This is the manifestation of the Mandate of Heaven, so if our king wants to obey the Mandate of Heaven, please understand. ”

"Zhao Tuo, the exterminator? Jinni? Fish belly silk book? ”

Qiang Qi blinked, when it came to ghosts and gods, he didn't dare to say anything, he could only turn his head sadly, look at Wang Jian and said: "General, this Zhao Tuo is in the same position as us, An can let him go to the king of Chu to surrender, this is unreasonable!" ”

"Zhao Tuo broke through Shouchun and made great contributions, and it was also appropriate to surrender. Not to mention the wish of the Chu people, let him surrender with me in the same car this time. What do you think? ”

Wang Jian smiled, and didn't care about the red-faced Qiang, only looked at the generals in the tent.

The generals were stunned, they all received Zhao Tuo's favor this time, and now there are even more generals who speak, how can they object, and they all echoed: "General Zhao has made outstanding achievements this time, and it is indeed appropriate to surrender with the general." ”

】

In the sound of the full tent, Qiang looked confused.

Zhao Tuo, is he so popular?

……

"Wang Jian promised Zhao Tuo to surrender in the same car with him?"

The king of Chu was stunned, and hurriedly asked, "Zuo disciple, what was Wang Qian's expression when he said this?" ”

Sun Chang frowned and recalled: "It seems to be laughing." ”

The king of Chu asked, "Laugh? Is it a happy laugh? ”

"It looks like it's calm."

Sun Chang was puzzled, he didn't understand why the king asked this.

Laughing calmly...... Hahaha! ”

The king of Chu was very happy in his heart, and he secretly said proudly: "I think that Wang Jian only reluctantly agreed to this matter because of Zhao Tuo's merits and Bugu's request. In fact, he already held a grudge against Zhao Tuo in his heart. ”

"Not to mention the general of the Qin State who loudly opposed this matter, with him taking the lead, I think those generals of the Qin State will also be dissatisfied with Zhao Tuo. Wang Jian and these generals of the Qin State will definitely make Zhao Tuo suffer in the future and avenge Bugu. ”

"I've got it!"

"Bugu has made countless enemies for that Zhao Tuo!"

Thinking of this, the King of Chu was full of smiles on his face, and said to Zuo Tu: "Since the surrender agreement has been decided, according to Wang Qian's request, Bugu will lead the sheep naked tomorrow, hehe." ”

Hearing the smug laughter of the King of Chu, Sun Chang was even more shocked.

How did the king talk about surrendering and be so happy?

……

The two parties have agreed without further delay.

On the second day, the gates of the Chu Palace opened.

The king of Chu walked out of the palace with his left hand holding the sheep and the right hand holding the mao, and walked out of the palace city, and slowly walked towards the Qin army camp outside the city in the eyes of countless Chu people in Shouchun City.

At this moment, even if those Chu people in Shouchun City had already surrendered to the Qin State, when they really saw their own king taking the sheep and wanted to surrender to the Qin army outside the city.

Many Chu people cried on the spot.

They finally really realized that the 800-year-old Jingchu Sheji is dead today!

"I am a descendant of Zhurong, born as a Chu person, I would rather die here than go to Qin to be a ghost!"

A young man from a royal family couldn't stand such a scene, and after a long cry, he actually drew his sword and killed himself on the spot.

The blood splashed and aroused countless people to cry bitterly.

There were even the nobles of the Chu State who had betrayed before in such a scene, and they were enthusiastic about watching it, and they killed themselves with swords in bursts of crying to atone for their sins.

The king of Chu was stunned, and he watched in a daze as the righteous men of Chu died martyrdom.

Originally, because of the success of Zhao Tuo, the joy that appeared in his heart dissipated without a trace, and all that was left was a burst of sadness.

The king of Chu muttered, "The state of Chu is dead." ”

"Since my ancestor Xiong Yi, he was enshrined in the south, lived in Danyang, founded the country and said Jingchu, all the way to the blue wisps, it has been 800 years. Eight hundred years, forty-two monarchs, how long the country is, I didn't expect it to die in my hands today! ”

"If I knew this was the case, why would I kill the king and seize the throne, strive to be the king of this dead country, and suffer such humiliation! Woohoo......"

Speaking of this, the king of Chu couldn't bear it anymore, and cried with the countless Chu people.

On this day, in the city of Shouchun, weeping shook the sky.

……

Outside the city of Shouchun.

100,000 Qin troops, set up a battle array.

The black banner covered the sky and the sun, and the swords and halberds in the hands of the soldiers flashed with dazzling light.

Zhao Tuo followed Wang Jian to stand on the wide command car, he was slightly behind Wang Qian, and looked at the majestic Chudu not far away.

There, the gate of Shouchun City was wide open, and the king of Chu, who was leading the sheep, was slowly walking with the nobles of Chu.

"Zhao Tuo, how do you feel when you see this scene?"

Wang Jian opened his mouth with a calm voice, so that people couldn't hear what he meant.

Zhao Tuo's heart moved, and he whispered: "If you have no way, the country will perish." ”

The scene in front of him was not the first time Zhao Tuo had seen it, just last summer, he had stood behind Wang Ben's chariot outside the Great Liang City in Wei Land. Seeing that the king of Wei is also like today's king of Chu, he is taking the sheep and surrendering to the victor.

The king of Wei was fake, the king of Chu was negative, and the kings of the six kingdoms, including Zhao Wangqian, Yan Wangxi, Han Wang'an, and even Qi Wangjian.

Except for South Korea, which is too weak, the other countries are all dying because of the mediocrity of the monarch.

And it's not just the problem of the mediocrity of this generation of monarchs, but more because of the mediocrity of the six countries, and finally the national strength is weakened and all of them are destroyed.

"Yes, the lord of Yong is dead. Just like in the past, if it wasn't for Zhao to kill Li Mu, I don't know how many years it would take to destroy Zhao, if it wasn't for the Yan people to attack Zhao from the rear, if Zhao State could fully meet my Qin State, I don't know how much strength it would cost my Qin people. And the king of Qi, if he can help the five countries, he will not let the kingdoms fall one after another. ”

Wang Jian couldn't help but sigh: "Fortunately, I have a Ming monarch in the Qin country, so that I can have the momentum of today's tiger in the world." ”

Zhao Tuo nodded in agreement.

Qin State, since Qin Xiaogong, King Huiwen, King Wu, King Zhaoxiang......

Generations of Ming monarchs, the world's heroes, so that can achieve today's hegemony of swallowing the world.

Thinking of this, Zhao Tuo suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

He looked at the King of Chu who was approaching in the distance, and a thought popped up in his mind.

The last Qin king in history was tied to the neck group, the white horse was in a car, and the seal of the Son of Heaven was beside the descending road, waiting for Liu Ji's surrender.

At that time, was the scene of the fall of the Qin Dynasty the same as in front of you?

Qin Fen VI Yu Lie spent a hundred years to annex the world and build a huge empire.

But it only takes one generation to destroy such a country.

Although the death of the Qin Dynasty in history was inseparable from Qin Shi Huang, the second Qin should also bear the most important responsibility.

It is a problem for the country that the heir is not virtuous.

Zhao Tuo's hands trembled slightly.

If it is a long-term plan, should he pay more attention to those children of Qin Wangzheng?
