He thought of what he could do.

When Xiang Yan was still thinking about how to enter the city to protect Chu Wangqi and escape, Chu Wangqi handed Li Mu a surrender document.

"The widow can descend, just don't hurt the people."

Li Mu sighed after receiving the letter from the king of Chu, and ordered the Qin army not to plunder after entering the city. He would sort out the belongings in the city and distribute them to the Qin army.

Li Mu has always been generous with his troops, and his soldiers do not need to be captured after breaking the city to accumulate a lot of wealth, so the military discipline he brings is very good.

Meng Tianle was like a soldier who had just entered the battlefield, but as a deputy general, he went to give orders in person.

The Qin army did not react after receiving the order.

They have followed Li Mu for more than ten years, and they have never looted the city since they broke it, and the general will do it if he doesn't emphasize it.

The looting may also cause them to be injured and die, and they will wait for Wu Chengjun to give them something, and they will get more property.

After Li Mu gave the order to the army, he came forward to persuade the defeated troops of the Chu State to surrender under the city, and opened a passage to let the defeated soldiers who were unwilling to surrender leave.

Xiang Yan was extremely surprised.

These defeated troops will be organized in the future and will be able to continue to resist Qin. After the confession began to push for the war of annihilation, the other six countries followed suit, knowing that they could not leave the enemy with a living force, and they could kill as many people as they could. What's more, Qin's military merit system is a head system! Li Mu actually let the rout soldiers go, wouldn't he let the tiger return to the mountain?!

Xiang Yan couldn't understand the decision Li Mu was making now.

But Li Mu left him a way to live, he looked up at the city wall, and left along the way of life.

When he saw Li Mu's move, he knew that the king of Chu would definitely surrender. Then there would be no need for him to stay here any longer.

Xiang Yan decided to return to Chendu, gather a rout army, and elect a Chu clan as the king to continue to resist the Qin state.

"General, the sincerity you showed to the King of Chu is too great, what should he do if he goes back on his word?" Meng Tian was also a little puzzled.

Li Mu shook his head and said, "I wouldn't have robbed when I entered the city, so it's not sincere." As for sparing the rout...... Oh, the city walls have been exhausted after a day of slashing, and they are already useless, and they should be driven away from the battlefield, so as not to interfere with the Qin army's siege. ”

Meng Tian said: "The reason for leaving a way for the defeated soldiers to escape is not to let the defeated soldiers consume the Qin army?" ”

Li Mu showed an approving smile: "It's important to take Xiangcheng now." Take Xiangcheng, and the remnants of the Chu State can be easily breached. If there are remnants of troops in other cities, it will only spread the news that we have easily defeated Xiang Yan and the king of Chu has surrendered, which will greatly weaken the morale of the enemy. ”

Meng Tian was taught again. It seems that a war cannot be blindly annihilated.

The Qin army itself sent people to publicize the efficiency of Xiang Yan's defeat and the surrender of the king of Chu, how could this group of routs flee in all directions to publicize the efficiency?

What's more, they were all frightened, and they didn't know what more magical deeds than reality would be arranged for Qin Jun, and they could scare people more than Qin Jun telling the truth.

Meng Tian wrote it down in a small book in his heart. The most important thing he learned from Wu Chengjun was that the main general would not focus on a battle. The Lord will decide on a set goal before the battle, and every battle is aimed at this goal. That's the big picture.

Meng Tian looked up at the general who was still in high spirits and was still in his forties, and his heart was full of yearning.

I want to be such a famous player in the future!

Li Mudao: "But I believe Xiong Qi, since he said that he wanted to surrender, and he also made the condition of 'don't hurt the people', he really wanted to surrender." ”

Meng Tian nodded.

As Li Mu expected, after seeing the rout being let go by the Qin army, Chu Wangqi really led the Qing doctor out of the city to surrender.

He not only presented Li Mu with a letter of surrender, but also issued an edict to the Chu people to surrender to Qin.

The Qin State has taken over the whole world, and only a few pieces of land are left in the Chu State. The pattern of the Qin Dynasty and Zhou has been formed, and no matter how much the Chu people resist, it will only increase casualties.

The king of Chu can be martyred for the state of Chu, but the people of Chu do not need it. They can become Qin people.

Chu Wangqi wrote a letter to Qin Wangzheng again, hoping that Qin Wangzheng could become a virtuous king who loved the people and worked diligently, and became a wise monarch of the world.

"If you go to Xianyang, you can be rich and old age." Li Mudao.

He understands the character of his students. For kings such as King Han and King Qi, Zheng'er is pinching his nose to treat them well, and sooner or later he will quietly toss them.

Chu Wangqi, a monarch with shining points on his body, Zheng'er will really ensure that he will be prosperous and rich all his life.

King Chu Qidao: "Looking at the six countries, none of the monarchs were martyred. There should always be a monarch who will give future generations more respect for the end of this era. ”

He looked up at the sky of the Chu State: "In the eight hundred years of the Chu State, the last King of Chu should always have some integrity. ”

Li Mu said: "Please rest assured, King Chu, I will treat your family well." Your birth mother is still alive and doing well. ”

Chu Wangqi's eyes widened in surprise, and then he cried and smiled: "In my life, the only thing I am ashamed of is my own mother." ”

After saying that, he knelt down and bowed in the northwest direction.

Then get up.

"Wu Chengjun, the last king of Chu is ashamed to see his ancestors, and he is unworthy of entering the ancestral tomb. Please bury the widow beside Chunshenjun. Chun Shenjun may not dislike me. Chu Wang Qi wiped the dust on his face and tied his crown, "Widow...... I tried my best, and Chunshen-kun shouldn't blame me. ”

Li Mu said: "Of course. If the king of Chu succeeds to the throne smoothly and is suitable for the monarch and ministers of Chunshen, perhaps the state of Chu will become a great disaster for the Qin state. ”

Chu Wangqi smiled: "This is the highest evaluation I have ever heard in my life." ”

He took off the long sword at his waist and sighed: "This sword was given by Chun Shenjun when I was still the crown prince. ”

In the crying of the ministers, Chu Wang Qi used the sword given by Chun Shenjun to kill himself, and slowly lay down on his back.

Li Mu half-knelt beside King Qi of Chu, sighed deeply, turned around and ordered the Qin army to mourn in silence and see off the last king of Chu.

"The king of Chu has martyred himself in the state of Chu, please stop resisting the people of Chu." Li Mu said to the ministers of the Chu State, "Don't let down the sacrifice of the King of Chu, please go to the remaining cities to persuade you to surrender." ”

Doctors all cried and agreed.

The state of Chu is not destroyed at the moment, but the state of Chu has been destroyed.

Even if someone calls himself the King of Chu later, the title of "the last King of Chu" will only be nailed to the body of King Qi of Chu, and no one can take it.

Li Mu was thinking, how should Zheng'er deal with this after learning about it?

The death of Chu Wang Qi will make him have a very high status in the hearts of Chu people.

……

Xianyang City got the news half a month later.

Qin Wangzheng was silent for a long time, and said to Zhang Liang: "Look at King Chu, and then look at King Han!" ”

Zhang Liang "snapped" and smashed the Chinese book on the case.

Qin Wangzheng retracted his gaze and continued to ponder.

After a while, he said: "Build an ancestral hall for Chu Wang Qi and Chun Shenjun and enshrine them." ”

Zhang Liang said: "Aren't you afraid that their prestige is too high?" ”

Qin Wang Zheng said: "Their high prestige can make the Chu people more centrifuged against the Chu State." If Chun Shenjun is not given death, if Prince Qi is not abolished, why is the Chu State like this? ”

Zhang Liangmu said with a grimace: "The result of the Chu State will still be like this, but it is just that the Qin State will fight more difficultly. The general trend of Qin's unification of the world is unstoppable. ”

Qin Wang Zheng said: "Of course. ”

Qin Wangzheng was silent for a while, and finally let out a sigh: "The kings of the six kingdoms, only Chu Wangqi still has the appearance of some monarchs. It's a pity that Chu Wangqi did not succeed to the throne normally, but was supported by Xiang Yan. ”

Zhang Liang's eyes also showed some sadness.

A monarch like Chu Wang Qi, who was supported by the generals, can be said to be very unjust. If it weren't for the fact that Chu had a foreign enemy like Qin, Xiang Yan would have established him as the king of Chu, and his power as the king of Chu would definitely fall.

The timing of King Qi's succession to the throne was also not good. When he succeeded to the throne, only a small piece of land in Huaibei was left in the state of Chu, and the time of almost extinction was already in sight, and there was no hope at all.

As Chu Wang Qi himself said, when he went to be the king of Chu, he went to the king of the dead country.

If Gongzi Qi fled from Qin, the position of the "King of Chu" was quite attractive, so his choice was understandable.

But when he went from Wei to Chu again, he had nothing to do with interests.

Chu Wang Qi is indeed worthy of admiration, and it is also worthy of being worshiped together with Chun Shenjun.

Looking at the other monarchs of the Six Kingdoms, they are all nobles, they have hardly endured hardships, and their succession to the throne is very smooth. Even if there were some twists and turns when Zhao Wangyan succeeded to the throne, the battle for the throne subsided in a few days.

Those kings are supported by the people of the country, but do not think of anything in return; King Qi of Chu grew up in the Qin state, but he was willing to die for the state of Chu.

It's ironic.

"That Xiang Yan seems to want to support a Chu clan as the king and continue to be the enemy of the Qin State?" Qin Wangzheng sneered, "He is really tossed, the whole family is in the Qin country, and he is still so tossed." ”

Zhang Liang'a said: "Although Xiang Yan is useless, his spirit is commendable. ”

Qin Wangzheng shook his head: "Spirit? What spirit? Chu Wang Qi used his life to let the widow treat the Chu people well, hoping that the Chu people would not have unnecessary casualties. But what about Xiang Yan? He tied up the Chu people and caused more casualties in vain. Should the Chu people thank him, or should they hate him? ”

Zhang Liang: "Who knows? We are not Chu people. ”

King Qin said: "Oh, yes, you ...... to King Han now"

Zhang Liang drew his sword, slashed off a corner of King Qin's political case, then kicked the chair next to him to the ground, and turned away angrily.

Qin Wangzheng sighed and said to Meng Yi: "Look at him, is his temper getting worse and worse?" ”

Meng Yi: "......"

Meng Yi originally wanted to follow Zhu Xiang all the time. But Zhu Xiang was worried that Zhang Liang would have a conflict with Zheng'er, so he asked Meng Yi to go back quickly. With Meng Yi playing a round, maybe Zheng'er and Zhang Liang won't make too much trouble.

So Meng Yi reluctantly returned to King Qin's side and became King Qin's internal official.

Zhang Liang is a Han, although he is a disciple of Han Fei, if he wants to be an internal official, he must first make meritorious contributions before he can serve the public. Meng Yi has been an important minister of the Qin State since his grandfather, and Qin Wangzheng can promote him at will.

After Meng Yi returned to Xianyang Palace, he saw King Qin and Zhang Liang arguing for three days, and finally understood why Zhang Liang refused to come to Xianyang.

He was once angry that Zhang Liang actually despised King Qin. King Qin asked you to be an internal official because he looked up to you, but you were still dissatisfied?

Now he began to sympathize with Zhang Liang.

He remembered the letter his brother had written to him. After Meng Tian went south with Zhu Xianggong more than ten years ago, he often made euphemistic accusations against the King of Qin in letters. As Meng Tian grew up, the accusations in the letter became less and less, and he almost forgot about them.

Because Meng Yi was shy, he didn't dare to go to Zhu Xianggong's side, and he didn't grow up with Qin Wangzheng, so he didn't know much about Qin Wangzheng. Although Meng Tian wrote to him to warn him, the Qin Wangzheng he saw was a very mature and ruthless person.

When Qin Wangzheng was still the crown prince, he dealt with many major incidents in Xianyang. When the first king dealt with some big cases, it was often the crown prince who personally handled them.

For example, the big case of defaming Zhu Xianggong.

Therefore, the image of Qin Wangzheng in Meng Yi's heart has always been very tall and glorious.

He really didn't expect that Qin Wangzheng would still have this side.

You ran away from Zhang Liang angrily, what good will it do you? We still want Zhang Liang to come back to work!

"Alas, he ran away again, his business ......," Qin Wang Zheng said, "You take the documents to Zhang's house, tell his brother, Zhang Liang lost his temper again, and let his brother persuade him to do things well." ”

Meng Yi endured it for a long time, but he couldn't bear it anymore.

Relying on the fact that he was also the younger generation of Zhu Xianggong, he questioned Qin Wangzheng: "Your Majesty, why do you have to make Zhang Liang angry? ”
