Qiang Qin

Fusu was overjoyed when he received the news that Meng Yi would kill most of the Huns who would commit crimes in the future. He hurriedly ordered people to reward the border guards in the northern counties, and promoted everyone from the general to a higher rank.Just when Fusu was overjoyed, Peng Hong had already brought a message into the palace.

Because Fusu's eyes are focused on the Central Plains and the South recently, Fusu has no longer paid attention to the situation on the Huns' side, and the Huns have indeed not sent any more troops since those failed armies were wiped out by Fusu and the others. People came to attack, which is one of the reasons why Fusu didn't focus on them at first, which caused the news from there to be transmitted more slowly.But when Fusu saw the news from the Huns, he knew that the situation was not as optimistic as he thought.The silk book sent by the Xiongnu records that the reason why the Huns suddenly attacked the border town was because an army from the Central Plains was killing and looting everywhere on the grassland, and this time the Huns also sent spies to the Central Plains. Human actions are written down in detail.

After Fusu finished reading it, he said to the few courtiers at the side: "Judging from the content written in this secret letter, this group of people who looted everywhere on the grassland should be the Bai Ban who disappeared with him a few days ago. I didn't expect them to enter the territory of the Huns. They also caused the Huns to have a strong hatred against us and provoked a war between us. Now that the Huns have sent spies into the Central Plains, I am afraid they should know by now We have just obtained the matter of the world, and if the Huns in power are wise, they will take the opportunity to send troops to attack us." Fusu said here and glanced at Zhang Han who was standing below.

Zhang Han sensed Fusu's gaze, and hurriedly said: "Bai Ban and his 3000 troops were let go privately, and I am willing to lead troops to the north to prevent the Huns from attacking our Central Plains, so as to make up for my mistakes, and I would like to ask the emperor for permission. "

Fusu smiled and said: "General Zhang is serious. In fact, even if there are no troops on the grassland during the day, once the grassland is completely calm and winter comes again, these Huns who have always wanted to attack me in the Central Plains will definitely send troops. It's just that they have more excuses in this way. So the general doesn't have to blame himself too much, and the Huns will have to separate troops to guard their own territory when the day squad makes trouble on the grassland. The Huns who came to attack this time There shouldn't be too many people."

Zhang Liang also said: "What the emperor said is very true. I also think that the 3000 troops of the Bai Squad will destroy the Xiongnu for a while and cause the Huns' logistics shortage. This may have a negative impact on them in future battles."

Han Xin said: "So I think that now is the time for us to defeat the Xiongnu in one fell swoop. Once the Xiongnu is defeated, our Daqin's rear will be stable, and then we will be able to deal with Chu with all our strength."

Hearing this, Fusu nodded repeatedly: "What you said is true, then let's take this opportunity to Chen Bing in the northern counties and prepare to fight the Huns." The serial horse that came out has not been used yet.Originally, he would be able to use it when attacking Xianyang and several other counties, but unexpectedly it turned into a tough battle, and the role of cavalry could not be played at all.But going to fight the enemy on the grassland is different now. There is a flat ground, which is just suitable for dozens of horses connected together to charge.Thinking of this, Fusu's face showed a smile of victory.

Now that everyone has agreed on the plan to fight the Huns, the whole country has been mobilized. Many troops stationed in various places have been transferred to the north one after another, and the food stored in warehouses in various places has also been transported by the people everywhere. After coming down to several counties in the north, Daqin was united and decided to deal another heavy blow to the Huns.

But at this moment, the arrival of a piece of news disrupted Fusu's plan, making him and Zhang Liang have to consider whether this war can start.That was the news sent from Chu and Qi at the same time—Xiang Yu finally defeated Linzi, the capital of Qi, after months of strong attacks.The news put Fusu and the others in a dilemma.

Xiang Yu took down all the cities in Qi except Linzi as easily as before, and then besieged Linzi with his troops.Now that Xiang Yu sent troops to attack Qi, it was different from the last time. Last time Xiang Yu didn't have many troops, and Qu Dou and others were behind him. Finally, the Zhao people found the opportunity and failed.But this time Xiang Yu has already controlled the entire state of Chu, and no one can compete with him anymore, and he brought all the people who stayed in his territory with him. This encounter can be said to be overwhelming. Arrived at the city of Linzi.

But the people of Qi sent 5 horses to aid Chu, but only more than 1 people came back under the leadership of Jiang Huan. Now they are facing the moment when the city will be destroyed and the country will be destroyed again. There is no death in the whole city The courage to survive.This is also determined by the character of the Qi people. When the Qin people destroyed the six kingdoms, the only people who surrendered were the Qi people. In the end, almost all the people surnamed Tian were killed.But now seeing that the Chu people are taking the water from the moat to the other side without haste, and the Chu soldiers are constantly shooting random arrows at the city and attacking the city day and night, half of the Qi people in the city have already decided to open the city and surrender.

King Qi looked at the ministers below, with sadness in his eyes. When these people took the throne, they swore that they would live and die with him and the country of Qi. The person's conversation changed, and he began to persuade himself to surrender.He knew very well in his heart the intention of these people to surrender, that is to preserve their own wealth. After all, even if Xiang Yu conquered Linzi City, he would not kill all these officials who were familiar with the situation in Qi. He still needed these people to manage for him What about the people here?But as the king of Qi, his fate may not be so optimistic. The best ending is to be put under house arrest like the king of Chu.

Just when King Qi was engrossed, a courtier said again: "Your Majesty, the army of Chu people is several times larger than mine at this time, and our army has no intention of resisting at all. Why don't we open the city before the real battle begins?" As for surrendering, in this way, the enmity with the Chu people and Xiang Yu will be lessened, and when the Chu people enter the city, they will not kill innocent people indiscriminately. This is also a good deed for the people of Qidi. Your Majesty, please do not Don't hesitate any longer."

Before King Qi could react, another courtier said: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, Xiang Yu is a cruel man. If he is really forced into a hurry, he will really order the massacre of the city after breaking it. My people, please order the opening of the city, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, please order to open the city!" Suddenly, as if it had been negotiated, all the courtiers knelt down in front of King Qi, said in unison, and after saying this, they all raised their heads to look at King Qi above.

King Qi felt the pressure they brought on him. In fact, he wanted to say that this was not the first time that Xiang Yu had attacked Linzi. The last time Xiang Yu was defeated with the help of the Zhao people, he had formed a relationship with Xiang Yu a long time ago. If you don't have hatred, why would you care about one more time?But King Qi also knew very well that what these people said was for the people, but the real reason was for themselves. If he didn't agree to their request, it would be impossible to guarantee that these people would not remove themselves first and then surrender to Xiang Yu.King Qi looked at the courtiers below with some reluctance and sadness, finally made up his mind, and said: "Then open the city and surrender to the Chu army, I only hope that Xiang Yu will not embarrass the people as you said."

All the ministers were relieved when they heard it. Although King Qi could no longer be the master at this time, these officials did not want to bear the notoriety of betraying the master and seeking glory until the last moment, let alone killing him easily. Kill the monarch.So as soon as King Qi finished speaking, everyone praised loudly: "Your Majesty is wise!" But these words sounded ironic to King Qi's ears.

Xiang Yu, who was outside the city, was getting a little impatient. He regretted heeding Fan Zeng's suggestion and just surrounded Linzi City and sent a small group of troops to attack, while the large group stayed in the camp and waited for the Qi people to leave the city and surrender.Just because Fan Zeng said that Xiang Yu's real enemy now is Fusu who has replaced Ziying, and the purpose of attacking Qi is to increase his own strength, but if he attacks Linzi City with all his strength, it will cause heavy losses in personnel, so it is better to attack the heart. Go up, make the people of Qi surrender spontaneously.At first Xiang Yu also felt that it would be better not to fight if he could not cause damage, but after a few days, he couldn't sit still. These Qi people were just holding on to the city and had no intention of surrendering at all. It's been too long, and now I seem to be attacking Linzi with 8 people, which is more than double the last time. If it takes as much time as before, I will lose my face.

Just when Xiang Yu walked out of the main tent again to see the situation of Linzi City in great discomfort, a white banner was suddenly erected on the top of the city, and then the closed city gate creaked and opened slowly. open.Under the strange gazes of all the Chu soldiers, a man came out with bare feet, wearing a white robe and loose long hair. He was the King of Qi.

Seeing this strange-looking man, the soldiers of Chu were startled for a moment, but then they reacted and cheered loudly, because they already knew the message that this man came out to convey——Qi Guo expressed his surrender, and this man The Qi State, which had been rebuilt for less than a few years, finally surrendered under the might of the Chu people. Since then, the Chu State has completely unified the southeast.

Hearing the shouts of the soldiers, Xiang Yu couldn't help laughing out loud, "Unexpectedly, Mr. Fan's strategy is really effective. At the small price of hundreds of soldiers casualties, Qi was finally completely captured by me!"
