After receiving Li Yuan's personal admission in front of the battle that he would let Shouchun go, Yan Sheng was also relieved in his heart, and immediately took out a small flag from his arms and waved it in the direction of Shouchun.

After seeing this, the guard at the head of the city looked at the people behind him who were already exhausted and were forcibly brought to defend the city, sighed lightly in his heart, and then said

"All of you lay down your arms, go home, prepare your soldiers, and follow me out of the city and surrender."

Hearing the words of the guard, everyone looked at him, these people seemed to be a little unable to believe the words of the guard, the guard repeated his words again, these people and soldiers understood that the war was over, and for a while these people did not know whether to mourn the death of their country, or to be glad that they survived.

Under the control of the guards and soldiers, the people put down their weapons and dragged their tired bodies towards their homes, while some carried their relatives who died defending the city, and walked in tears.

Soon, the soldiers up and down Shouchun walked out of Shouchun City in a neat and orderly manner, put down the weapons in their hands in front of Wang Jian and Li Yuan, and took off the armor on their bodies. Li Yuan glanced at Wang Qian, Wang Jian nodded, and Li Yuan rode forward and shouted

"Watch the detainment, the army will follow me into the city!"

"Ling Yi is mighty! Ling Yi is mighty! ”

The sergeants and soldiers of Li Yuan's army burst out in unison, and the vanity in Li Yuan's heart reached its peak as he listened to the shouts of the soldiers. After the Chu army took care of the soldiers, Wang Jian and Li Yuan led the army into Shouchun City.

After coming to the palace of the king of Chu, looking at the burden on the throne, Li Yuan stepped forward and pushed his corpse down.

"The throne of the king of Chu is not something that anyone can sit on. Negative and negative, rest assured, I will send your brother soon, Xiong Qi to accompany you. Li Yuan looked at the corpse and said disdainfully.

Looking at the fallen burden, Li Yuan sat on the throne of the King of Chu without the slightest hesitation, his palms kept rubbing the armrests of the throne, and his eyes were full of pride.

Wang Jian frowned slightly when he saw Li Yuan's appearance, but he didn't say anything, turned around and prepared to leave, the massacre of Qu Jingzhao's three families was beyond his plan, and the military newspaper he sent back to Xianyang also needed to be corrected.

"Where's the General?" Li Yuan asked with a smile.

"Shouchun City is broken, but the city father is still there, and the army led by the Jing family patriarch is also on the way, so I will lead the army to deal with them." Wang Jian said.

"Why bother the general with this little thing, the head of the Jing family is just a grasshopper after the autumn, just let me take someone there." Li Yuan said with a smile on his face.

Hearing Li Yuan's words, the smile on Wang Qian's face suddenly disappeared, and he looked at Li Yuan with coldness in his eyes, Li Yuan was frightened by Wang Yuan's sudden change of face, and then realized that there was something wrong with what he said just now.

"Lord Ling Yi hasn't forgotten the covenant between us, has he? Qin helped you kill the traitors, except for Shouchun, the land captured by the Qin army was owned by Qin, this is what you said personally, right? Wang Jian said coldly.

"Of course, the Admiral has been overwhelmed, and I certainly haven't forgotten the covenant between us." Li Yuan hurriedly got up and said with a smile.

"That's good, there is still military affairs below, so I won't accompany you."

After Wang Jian finished speaking, he turned around and left, Li Yuan looked at Wang Qian's figure with some regret and fear at this time, he was really too proud just now. Li Yuan's suicide and surrender made Li Yuan too proud, forgetting that the main force attacking the three families of Cheng Shu and Qu Jingzhao this time was the Qin State, thinking of his own army, and thinking of the Qin army, Li Yuan was even more afraid, for fear that Wang Jian would think that he was trying to break the contract, and turn the spearhead to attack him.

What's more, although the three cores of Qu Jingzhao's family were all slaughtered, the foundation of the city father is still there, if Wang Jian breaks the contract, Li Yuan knows that he will not even have a place to cry at that time.

The contradiction between Li Yuan and Qu Jingzhao is not a one-day cold, from the beginning when King Xiong of Chu used Chun Shenjun to restrain Qu Jingzhao's three families, Li Yuan was not less than Chun Shenjun's pawn to attack the three families.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan suddenly lost the smug look he had just now, and he didn't care about enjoying the Chu Palace, so he hurriedly returned to his military camp to find his staff and told him what happened in the Chu Palace.

"Lord Lingyi, it's really unwise, the Qin army is only tens of thousands of people, and the logistics are difficult, even if they go north to attack various cities, they can't occupy too many cities. But now Lord Lingyi's words are likely to make Qin Guo resentful. A staff member looked at Li Yuan and said regretfully.

"But it's too late now, I don't know if Mr. can find a way to make up for it?" Li Yuan hurriedly asked.

"If you want Wang Jian to let go of this matter, I'm afraid you can only find a way to cut the land from the compensation. Lord Ling Yi might as well cede Xincai, Chengfu, Mangcheng, Xiangcheng and other places to the Qin State.

According to the strength and grain of the Qin army, as well as the movements of Sima Su in Shangcai and Yang Duanhe in Zeng Xi, the thirteen cities north of Juyang, such as Xincai, Dun, Xiang, Yangling, Chengfu, and Xinyang, must be in the hands of Qin.

And Lord Ling Yi took the initiative to cede the thirteen cities north of Juyang just to do a favor, and he didn't have any loss to himself. As for the four cities such as Mangcheng and Xiangcheng, they expressed the attitude of Lord Ling Yi and apologized to the Qin State, and the four places are mostly mountainous, not rich places, but for the Qin army, this is a white military achievement. At the cost of the thirteen cities north of Juyang and the four cities of Mangxiang, Wang Jian will definitely not care about this matter. The staff continued.

The suggestion of the staff made Li Yuan's eyes light up suddenly, although it seems that Li Yuan wants to give a lot of land to the Qin State, but what is really only the four cities of Mangxiang, and these four cities are just chicken ribs, it is useless to keep them, it is a pity to abandon them, and it is worth it to give them to the Qin army together in exchange for Wang Jian to dissipate his anger.

"Sir, he is really a great talent, when I welcome back the king, I will definitely recommend Mr. Zuoyi." Li Yuan took the hand of the staff and said.

"Chen Tao is not a person who is greedy for vanity, he is appreciated by Lord Lingyi, so that he will not starve to death, giving advice is what we should do, and please don't talk about Zuo Yi's matter." Staff member Chen Tao said righteously.

Looking at such a high-spirited staff, Li Yuan was even more moved in his heart, and immediately said

"Sir, don't shirk, now there are thieves in Chu and strong enemies outside, it is when talents are needed, this matter is so, Mr. just wait." After speaking, Li Yuan didn't wait for Chen Tao to refuse, so he pulled out his sword and cut his palm and swore an oath.

After some sympathy between the ministers and ministers, at Chen Tao's suggestion, Li Yuan went to the Qin army camp to find Wang Jian again, and told him about the preparation to cede the land. Wang Jian glanced at Li Yuan and said

"This matter is not something that Wang can decide, please Ling Yi give Wang time to report to the king!"

"This is natural, please also ask the general to report to the king of Qin, to show the friendship of my Chu country, and my Chu country is willing to be of the same heart with the Qin country forever." Li Yuan said.

Wang Jian looked at Li Yuan with some surprise, he didn't know if Li Yuan was really stupid or fake stupid, Chu State and Qin State were always of the same heart, this sentence was said, Li Yuan was afraid that he would become the public enemy of Chu State, why is Chu State so weak now, Qin State has made great efforts. Let's not talk about Zhang Yi deceiving Chu, let's talk about how many people King Zhaoxiang imprisoned the King of Chu, and then Bai Qi captured Yingdu and killed many people. There is a deep blood feud between Qin and Chu, according to the character of the magnates and people of the Chu State, Li Yuan dares to say that he is always united with the Qin State today, and tomorrow the people of the Chu State will assassinate him.

But Wang Jian didn't remind Li Yuan, but decided to distance himself from Li Yuan at the moment, before Wang Jian felt that Li Yuan was still a smart person, but now it seems that Li Yuan is too easy to get carried away, and when he interacts with such a person, he is prone to accidents.

"This matter still needs the king's approval. I will write a military report to the king, and ask Ling Yi to wait for some time, now there are still rebels of Qu Jingzhao's three families in various places, and cleaning up the rebels is the top priority. Wang Jian said.

"It's nature."

Li Yuan saw that Wang Jian had no intention of talking any further, so he didn't bother Wang Jian and left. Li Yuan, who left the Qin army camp, thought about the conversation he had with Wang Jian just now, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, although Wang Jian didn't directly promise himself, but Wang Jian decided to play the King of Qin, which shows that Wang Jian was moved, and he just needed to wait for the result.

Thinking of Wang Qian's reminder, Li Yuan also knew that the top priority now was to remove all the remaining forces of Qu Jingzhao's three families, and at the same time send someone to Gusu to bring Xiong Han to Shouchun, only when Xiong Han, the king of Chu, re-ascended the throne in Shouchun to worship his ancestors, can the people of Chu believe that Xiong Han is the real King of Chu.

After returning to the camp, Li Yuan immediately arranged various tasks, and Wang Jian also sent someone to convey the latest situation of Chu back to Xianyang.

Wei State, outside the city of Daliang, the banner of the Qin army was unfurled, the Wei army at the head of the city looked nervously at the Qin army below, and Lian Po was also a little nervous when he stood at the head of the city and looked at the Qin army.

"It seems that the farmer and the human sect have failed." Lian Po said in a low voice.

Looking at the Qin army below, Lian Po can only hope for the Yan army now, the high walls of Daliang City are thick, the grain and grass in the city are sufficient, and the defenders also have 20,000, plus the guards and the people in the city, it is enough to resist the Qin army for more than half a year.

Looking at the north, Lian Po always had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"I hope Li Mu can succeed, relying on the Yan army to counterattack the Qin army is too risky." Lian Po said in a low voice.

Zhao Guo, Prime Minister's Mansion.

Guo Kai looked at the iron-faced soul candle in front of him, and immediately secretly screamed in his heart.

"Mr. Soul, why did you come to my house today? Now that the righteous first kingdom is mourning, I can't wait to drink, and please don't blame me for my neglect. Guo Kai said with a smile.

"Heh~ Guo Xiang has been proud recently, I came here today to tell Guo Xiang that Guo Xiang's friendship with us has come to an end." After saying that, the soul candle turned around and left.

Seeing that his God of Wealth and the future life talisman were about to leave like this, Guo Kai immediately shouted in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to take the hand of the soul candle and said

"Mr. Soul, wait, what the hell is going on? Please also ask Mr. Soul to say, I really don't know where I offended Mr. Soul? ”

Looking at Guo Kai's confused look, Soul Candle said with a blue face

"Doesn't Guo Xiang know that Zhao Guo borrowed Yan Guo to let Yan Army support Wei State?"

"What!? Zhao Guo borrowed Yan Guo? When did this happen? I don't know! Guo Kai said in shock.

Looking at Guo Kai's appearance, Soul Candle was also a little stunned, because Guo Kai's appearance was not fake at all, but Guo Kai, as the prime minister of Zhao Guo, how could he not know about Zhao Guo's borrowing of Yan Guo?

Seeing the doubts of the soul candle, Guo Kai hurriedly explained

"I've been guarding the tomb of the first king for more than a month, and I don't know anything about the court recently."

Guo Kai's face was stunned at this time, he seemed to understand the reason for this matter, a month ago, a minister said that he was a close minister of the first king, and he was quite popular with the first king, and he should guard the tomb for the king. Although it is a hard work to guard the tomb of the first king, it has excellent benefits for the improvement of one's reputation, and it is only one month. Guo Kai discussed with Zhao Wangqian and the prostitute queen on the same day, and then let Zhao Wangqian promise, and then Guo Kai set off to guard the mausoleum, in order to express his piety, Guo Kai also specially extended it for half a month, during which it was not close to the wine, and went to the temple every day to incense Zhao Wangyan.

After Guo Kai told this matter, Soul Candle immediately reacted, this is someone deliberately transferred Guo Kai, in order to let Zhao Guo lend the Tao to Yan Guo.

"After Guo Xiang left, who was in charge of the affairs of the court?" Soul Candle asked, Zhao Wangqian's ignorance of political affairs is known to all the people in the Zhao court, and it is generally handed over to the courtiers to do, although Zhao Wangqian relies on Guo Kai, but he also knows the truth of checks and balances, although Guo Kai is said to be infinitely beautiful, but it cannot be regarded as a complete one-handed cover of the sky, after all, Guo Kai has no military power.

"If my guess is right, it should be Zongzheng, Chunpingjun Zhao Tong." Guo Kai gritted his teeth and said.

Hearing that it was Zhao Yan, the soul candle didn't feel any surprise.

Although Zhao Tong and Li Mu are the same faction, when Zhao Wangyan was not dead, Zhao Tong and Li Mu were die-hard supporters of Gongzijia, but it is a pity that no matter how much the two supported Gongzijia, they were not as useful as the ears of the prostitutes. It stands to reason that Zhao Tong was the mainstay of the former Gongzijia faction, and Gongzi Jiahe was still Gongzi Zhao Wangqian's previous struggle for the crown prince was known to the entire Zhao State, and the first time Zhao Wangqian took the throne was to find a way to kill Gongzi Jia and completely eliminate his threat.

As a supporter of Gongzijia, Zhao Tong does not say that he is hated by Zhao Wangqian, but it can also be said that he wants to kill the other party, and Guo Kai left the court, and Zhao Wangqian handed over the power to Zhao Tong, naturally not because Zhao Wangqian valued Zhao Tong's ability, but because of the things that Zhao Tong and the prostitute queen had to say.

If in terms of seniority, Zhao Tong should be regarded as Zhao Wangqian's false father. Zhao Tong was in power in the court, and Li Mu was an active anti-Qin faction, and the two joined forces, and Zhao Guo would naturally borrow the Yan Kingdom, so thinking about it, Soul Candle and Guo Kai understood what was going on.

"It's that I misunderstood Guo Xiang, but Guo Xiang Zhao Guo borrowed the Yan State is a fact, the entire Qin State is angry, and now the Great Liang is besieged, and the Wei State is just dying, I heard that the king intends to let Meng Wu, Feng Quji, and Dun Weak lead an army of 400,000 to attack Zhao State, and press the strength of the whole country to retaliate against Zhao State." Soul Candle said.

"Mr. Soul is joking, now the Qin State is fighting on three sides, the Chu State, the Great Liang, and the Yan Army, where is there still an army of 400,000." Guo Kai said that although Guo Kai is greedy, it does not mean that Guo Kai is incapable, otherwise Guo Kai would not have been able to support Zhao Wangyan from an unfavored son to King Zhao.

"Then Guo Xiangke knows that the war in Chu has ended? The army of Changping Jun was annihilated in Shangcai by the generals Sima Su, Yang Duan and Hehe of our Qin State, General Wang Jian and Li Yuan besieged Shouchun, and it was only a matter of time before they were breached, and Feng Qujian and Dun's weak army had already set up an ambush and were waiting for the Yan army to drill in, as for the Wei State, Guo Xiang looked at it, everything was closed in three days, and then it was the time for my Qin State to retaliate against Zhao State! Soul Candleskin said with a smile.

After speaking, the soul candle left directly without waiting for Guo Kai's reaction, Guo Kai is not incompetent, he can't be frightened by intimidation alone, now the Qin army's actions have not ended, and he is not in a hurry Guo Kai's actions, after all, if you want to fight Yan State, you must wait until the end of the war in Wei State, and the longer it drags on now, the more anxious Guo Kai will be in the end, the more beneficial it will be to them.
