There were soldiers in the city who opened the gates. Zhao immediately sent people into the city and began to take over the city, and at the same time disarmed the Qi troops in the city and sent them to the prisoner camp outside the city in batches.

Maybe Da Sima has pacified the Qi soldiers in the city properly, or maybe Zhao Tuo has taken a three-pronged approach in the past few days, fearful and deterrent, and the Qi people in the city have behaved very tame in the face of the Qin army entering the city, and there has been no resistance.

But bloodshed is indispensable.

"General, when the soldiers in the city heard that Da Sima had died, hundreds of people said that they would like to leave with Da Sima, but they all killed themselves." After receiving the news from the city, Li Shang came over and reported to Zhao Tuo.

"These are all people who observe the righteousness of the festival, and their corpses should be collected and not disgraced." Zhao Tuo stood under the city and looked up.

There, red blood slowly flowed down the wall.

"Da Sima is the gentleman of the world, but it's a pity that he was born in the wrong era." Zhao Tuo sighed softly. Since the world entered the world of the Warring States, wars have been all about deceit, and in order to win, all kinds of tricks and tricks have come out one after another, and no one will abide by the so-called ancient military etiquette.

It is only in a country like Qi that has not been war-torn for decades, in such a comfortable environment, that an idealistic aristocratic gentleman like Tian Chong can be born.

It's just that times have changed, and today's battlefield is no longer a stage for people like them.

"Collect and bury the great Sima with a ceremony, and bury the people who follow the festival of the dead, and bury them on his side, so as to be fully loyal." Zhao Tuo spoke, his voice slightly sad.

With that, he turned around and went back to the camp. But just as he turned around, Zhao Tuo's eyes were already full of sadness, and there was a glint of light.

Da Sima was martyred, Zhen Cheng surrendered, and the main force of the Qi army fell into his hands.

After he arranged the important affairs here, he immediately sent troops to Linzi, with the power of this great victory, intimidated Qi Wang Jian, and built the merit of destroying the country in one fell swoop.

"Immediately count the number of prisoners, detain them in batches, and if there is no resistance, no killing or torture shall be allowed."

"Order Meng Tian of Ayi to collect the water ships as soon as possible, so as to transport the baggage of our army's eastward advance."

"Three days later, I should lead a large army, send the troops to Linzi, and make a great contribution to destroying the king of the country!" …… Dicheng is located on the bank of Jishui.

After crossing the water from here, you can go all the way south to reach Linzi, the capital of Qi.

"Brother, Da Sima really wants to raise the city to surrender to the Qin army? He still has 100,000 troops in his hands to defend the city, how can he easily surrender to the Qin people! ”

"Brother Rong passed through this before, but he said that Da Sima was going to fight to the death in the city and wait for the king's reinforcements!" In the mansion of the Tian clan in the city, a young man about twenty years old was full of shock, staring at the man who was munching on the side of the eucalyptus.

Tian Dan raised his head and looked at his young cousin. Tian Heng. After several days of galloping, Tian Dan's face was already covered with wind and frost, and his face was full of dirt.

He swallowed the rotten meat in his mouth in a few bites, and whispered: "Ah Heng, at this time and that time, at that time, Ah Yi had not yet been lost, and the soldiers in Zhen City were still in their hearts, and we still had the strength to fight with the Qin people." ”

"But as Ayi fell into the hands of the Qin army, the back road of Zhencheng was cut off, and at the same time, Zhao Tuo broke the heart of our army with tricks, although there were still 100,000 soldiers and auxiliaries in the city, but they were already soldiers, and everyone wanted to surrender. As long as the Qin army attacks, the city will definitely be broken. ”

"In this kind of inevitable defeat situation, Da Sima took pity on the lives of his soldiers, and did not hesitate to bear the infamy of surrendering, and surrendered the city, which is not to want more casualties among my Qi people. Such an act is a gentleman's business. Tian Heng sneered: "Gentleman? Oh, what a rag gentleman, he Tian Chong has an army of 300,000 in his hands, and he can't beat the Qin people, but now he is besieged by the Qin people, and from the time he fought to the death to the last moment, he delayed the time for the king to recruit new soldiers. In my opinion, his surrender is nothing more than a meritorious service for the Qin people to save the lives of the rich and noble......"

"Tian Heng and Vertical, Ande is talking nonsense!" Tian Dan slapped a few eucalyptus and stood up with a bang. His beard was all open, like an angry lion roaring filial piety, staring at Tian Heng in front of him.

Tian Heng shuddered, and hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Brother, don't be angry, I'm just resentful of the defeat." Now that Zhencheng is defeated, the Qin army will definitely advance eastward, and my Qi country will not have time to recruit new troops, I am afraid that the society will be in danger! Hearing this, Tian Dan's anger decreased slightly.

After a little silence, Tian Dan said in a deep voice: "Judging from my battlefield, that Qin general Zhao Tuo, whether it is fighting on the battlefield or performing conspiracies, is definitely not the enemy of our Qi people. Now that Da Sima is defeated, he will definitely seize the opportunity to enter Linzi. ”

"At that time, when the Qin army passed through Di City, you must not gather people to fight against the enemy, you only need to follow the elders of the clan to submit to the Qin State. He Qin destroyed the other five countries, none of them killed indiscriminately, and Zhao Tuo was not a cruel general, as long as you don't resist, there will never be a danger to your life. Tian Heng was stunned, he glared and said, "Brother, you actually want us to surrender to the Qin State?" ”

"Now that the general trend of the Qi State has gone, if you rebel against the Qin people, it will only make the clan ruined, and the clansmen will be reduced to dead corpses and vassals. Until now, you should put the preservation of your clan first. Tian Dan said, stood up, and wanted to leave.

Tian Heng hurriedly asked: "Brother, since my Qi country has gone, why do you still want to go to Linzi?" It's better to let people call Brother Rong back, the three of my brothers, to protect the clan together. Tian Dan turned around and said: "I am also a descendant of the Tian family, Qi Guo Sheji, and my ancestor Sheji." You protect the clan, and I will enter Linzi, be loyal to the king, and live up to my name. ”

"It's even more worthy of Da Sima." As he spoke, Tian Dan turned around and strode out. His eyes were full of determination.

He Tian Dan, fought Linzi to the last moment, and guarded the Tian clan with the king and Xiangbang. …… A few days later, all of them were in Linzi.

The sky is sunny, the breeze is blowing across the land, and everywhere is full of spring, birds and flowers. But in today's largest and most bustling city, there's a mood called fear.

The whole city seemed to be shrouded in a cloud. The magnificent palace of King Qi. King Qi, who was nearly sixty years old, kept pacing back and forth in the palace, his face frightened, and he scolded as he walked.

"300,000 people! That's a whole army of 300,000! Why did you lose a battle? ”

"How dare he, Tian Chong, do this, and actually give the 300,000 army of the widow to the Qin people together."

"I'm so angry, even if it's 300,000 pigs, it's better to rush forward together than he Tian Chong wants to fight!"

"And this shaft even surrendered to the Qin army!"

"Tian Jiao, this is the good general you chose, this is the big Sima you picked for the widow!" Qi Wangjian beat his chest and stomped, and shouted at Tian Jiao, who bowed his head in the hall, and vented the anger and fear in his heart.

A few days ago, the general named Tian Rong brought the news of the defeat of Pushui and the capture of Ayi, which shocked and frightened the entire Qi court.

But at that time, Tian Chong still had 100,000 troops to guard Zhen City, dragging the Qin people to death, which was regarded as a barrier to Linzi.

"Tian Chong Zhencheng dragged the Qin army, and the widow immediately recruited people from all over the country to come to Linzi to rescue!" Qi Wangjian calculated that as long as Tian Chong could delay Zhen Cheng for two or three months, he would be able to recruit another 200,000 troops.

At that time, he confronted the Qin people again, and the outcome was not yet known. Unexpectedly, within a few days, Tian Chong's deputy general, Tian Dan, came with the news that Tian Chong had surrendered to Qin with Zhencheng.

Astound. Wrath. Fear. Qi Wangjian's eyes were already blood-red under fear and anger. He saw that there was a silk book written by Tian Chong himself on the table in front of him, which made him feel even more angry in his heart, and kicked it hard.

As the eucalyptus was kicked over, Qi Wangjian's screams also sounded.

"Ouch, the widow has fallen." He kicked the eucalyptus, but because he was too old and his balance was unstable, he also fell to the ground.

"The King." Tian Jiao came back to his senses and hurriedly stepped forward to help. At the same time, he summoned the maids outside the hall to help Qi Wangjian to the couch together.

After this change, Qi Wangjian calmed down. He asked the maid to rub his broken waist and legs, and looked at Tian Jiao in front of him sadly.

"My brother, now Tian Chong has surrendered to the Qin people. The Qin army is about to enter Linzi, and my Tian family is in danger, at this time, what should the widow do? Qi Wangjian felt very frightened.

The queen mother can't. The victory is gone. Faced with such a crisis, he was panicked and overwhelmed, and could only pin his hopes on his younger brother.

Tian Fake bit his lip. He himself is not much talented, but he is the younger brother of Qi Wangjian, and he is friendly with the people of the Four Kingdoms, so he was promoted to the position of Xiangbang in the assassination change.

Now seeing the 300,000 troops of Qi State die in a battle, not only Qi Wangjian fell into fear, but even he Tian Jiao was extremely frightened.

In Qin Wangzheng's edict, he named him to hand over his field leave. Tian Jiao took a deep breath, suppressed the fear in his heart, and whispered: "King, for the sake of today's plan." I can only listen to the words on Tian Chong's silk book. With this Tian Dan as a general, recruit the people of Linzi as soldiers, and defend the city to the death. At the same time, he ordered all the cities of Qidi, and then recruited soldiers to come to the rescue of Linzi and attack the Qin people. ”

"I have more than 2,000 miles of Qi and more than 70 cities, maybe there will be a character like Anping Jun Tiandan, so my Qi country will be saved." Qi Wangjian frowned and said, "Tian Dan? This person is Tian Chong's subordinate, if he is regarded as a general, will he also surrender to the Qin army like Tian Chong? And even Tian Chong is not an opponent of the Qin army, he is a deputy general in Tian Dan, can he really fight against the Qin people? ”

Tai Shiwen said that now the people of the Five Kingdoms, after the Qin and Qi wars, have re-entered the Qi land, and there are many generals of the Five Kingdoms. They have rich combat experience, and they are willing to help us resist Qin, so it may be better to use these people from the five countries as generals. Tian Jiao's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "The king can't listen to Tai Shiwen's words, before we were forced by the pressure of the Qin State, and turned our faces against the people of the Five Kingdoms, and escorted the Songyang Jun of Chu and the Hengyang Jun of Han to the Qin State, and the people of the Five Kingdoms were killed by us, and they had already formed hatred, how could we believe them." Wouldn't the king see that the five kingdoms were all in the past, and the Chu people were struggling! Hearing the name of Naoya, Qi Wangjian shuddered, feeling that his hands and feet were shaking even more.

In the past, the five kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, Han, Yan, and Qin invaded Qi, and Chu sent troops to rescue Qi with Naoya as the general. King Qi believed in the Chu people

"Kind", he took Chu General Naoya as the prime minister, and led the troops of Qi and Chu against the Five Kingdoms. As a result, this Nao Ya secretly discussed with Yan Guo to divide up Qi Land together, directly imprisoned King Qi Yu, and killed him while counting his sins.

The matter of the five countries attacking Qi is actually the six countries deceiving the people. In the end, when facing the death of the country, the Qi State still relied on the Qi people themselves to restore the country.

It was from that time that the state of Qi no longer believed in the people of the other six countries, and under the leadership of the queen, it did not participate in the war between the six countries, which led to decades of peace.

That war left a deep shadow on the Qi people, and they were wary of the people of the other six countries, which is why the Qi country did not have good generals, but they never used the help of the people of the other five countries to lead the army.

The matter of King Qi made the Qi people understand. Foreigners are not worth trusting, and only their own people can save their country.

Now I have taken out the eucalyptus example of Nao Tooth. Qi Wangjian also remembered the fate of his eldest father, King Qi Xiang, and immediately shook his head and said: "What my brother said is that the people of the Five Kingdoms can't believe it, Tian Dan is my Tian clan, and this Qi State Sheji is also his ancestor, so he won't betray the widow." Tian Jia breathed a sigh of relief.

The two brothers discussed it again, but in the end they didn't come up with any good way, and they were ready to do it according to Tian Chong's arrangement for the time being.

Half an hour later, Xiang Bangtian walked out of the Qi Palace and walked towards his carriage, wanting to return to the mansion first, and then find someone to discuss.

Tian Chong's lieutenant general, Tian Dan, and his brother Tian Rong were waiting in his mansion. General Qi Liang, Da Sima Tian Chong is already the only commander of Qi who can handle it.

Now, with the defeat of Zhencheng and the surrender of Tian Chong to Qin, there are even fewer people in Qi who can command the army. The two Tian Dan brothers are probably the last two Qi people in Linzi City.

Tian Jiao got into the carriage, the horse moved his steps, and the carriage moved slowly. Tian Jiao lifted the curtain, stretched out his head, and looked back at the majestic Qi Palace behind him, his heart was full of sadness and fear.

"Qi Guo...... It seems hopeless. "Don't look at him comforting each other in the palace and Qi Wangjian, in fact, deep down in his heart, he already knows that the current Qi country has reached the final point.

Even Tian Chong led an army of 300,000 and was defeated in a battle. Just because the Tian Dan brothers, who are not as capable as Tian Chong, and a group of Linzi people who have never fought, want to resist the attack of the Qin army, is that possible?

"I heard that the Qin people's giant cannon is extremely powerful, and the Qin army will attack the city with this, and the city under heaven can block it. Although Linzi is big, I'm afraid it won't last a few months. ”

"At that time, the king may be able to save his life like the king of Chu and the king of Wei. And what about my field leave? I'm afraid it's not long before I die! Thinking of the words of guilt on the edict of Qin State, Tian Jiao trembled with fear.

His name is the first in line, and once Linzi City is broken, he will definitely die.

"A good head, is it going to be cut off by the Qin people?" Tian Jia sat in the carriage and touched his neck in fear.

Soon, the carriage stopped at the Prime Minister's Mansion. As soon as Tian Jiu got out of the car, a servant came to report. It is said that there is a wealthy foreign merchant named Chen Chi in the city, who asked to see Xiangbang, and there is a thorn to offer.

Thorn is the so-called business card of worship in later generations. Tian Fake frowned and looked at it openly. The next moment, his eyes widened.

"This man can save my life!"
