Competing

Chapter 537 How to End
The city of Linzi was broken, and Han Xin took a frontal battle to attract the attention of Qi's defenders, and secretly dug tunnels to enter the city.In the case of lax defense, a sudden attack took down the south gate of Linzi City.The Han army brigade immediately entered the city,
The Han army's entry into the city directly defeated the confidence and hope of the Qi defenders, and the defense line collapsed instantly, unable to resist the brave Han army at all.In an instant, they were defeated and turned into a mess.

Han soldiers on the street shouted: "Put down your weapons, those who surrender will not be killed..."

The soldiers of Qi State were basically frightened and timid, and now they are even more at a loss.Under deterrence and temptation, they put down their weapons one after another, and it was a wise choice to save their lives in desperation.Soon, countless Qi soldiers surrendered, and the Qi defenders in Linzi were defeated in an instant.

Qi Wang Tianguang stayed in the palace and refused to let the guards escort him away.

Now Linzi is besieged on all sides, it is already like a jedi, and it is impossible to escape.Furthermore, as the king of Qi, he also has dignity. If Linzi is gone, neither will Qi.Han Xin's attack on Qi State this time is completely different from Xiang Yu's last battle between Qi and Chu, so Qi State has no chance.And he can't afford to experience the same toss twice, Tian Guang doesn't think there is a second chance to recover.

So the loss of Linzi means that the Qi State is no longer there, so is there still a need for the King of Qi to exist?He's not the kind of person who lives on his own.

Now Tian Guang can finally understand his father's desolation that day. It is really helpless for a king to come to this point...

The shouts of the Han army have already sounded outside the palace of King Qi, and it will not take long for them to come in.When they come in, is there a way out for them?
Even if it was a death, he could not die in such a humiliating manner at the hands of Han soldiers, asking them to ask for credit and exaggerate to show off.

A king cannot die so weakly, the death of a king is dignified, so Tian Guang went to the wall and picked up a long
sword.I vaguely remember that this sword was given to me by my father. At the beginning, my father had to find a way to revitalize the country of Qi. Now that the dream has been shattered, let this sword go with me and the country of Qi!
With a smear of blood, the long sword fell to the ground, and his body was reasonable.Qi Wang Tianguang left this world to follow his father Tian Rong and the underground.

Suicide seems to be the patent of princes.Wei Wangbao and Qi Wang Tianguang both left their dignity in this way, and Zhao Wangxie should be the most humiliating!

When Han Xin came to ride his horse and came to Qi Palace, Linzi City was completely and stably controlled by the Han army.

The troops of his central army and Li Zuoche rushed in through the opening of the south gate with all their strength, and quickly captured most of the city.Afterwards Guan Ying also led an army to kill them. Han Xin knew that Guan Ying meant to share credit at this moment, even if Guan Ying didn't follow orders, he didn't care.Guan Ying has really worked hard to attract Qi Guo's attention for so long.Furthermore, it is also a great thing for them to enter the city and solve the remnants of the Qi army.Moreover, it is a good thing for each other to be able to stabilize these brave warriors with one contribution.

For him, what is the meaning of credit?What he needs is Linzi, the state of Qi.Start your career here.Now most of the dream has been fulfilled, Linzi City has been conquered, as long as Longqie's reinforcements from the Western Chu Kingdom are taken care of, the land of Qi State will be stabilized, and the world will be divided into four, great things will be accomplished.

When he entered the palace, Li Zuoche had already taken care of all the guards of Qi State's court who were stubbornly resisting.

"See Marshal!" Li Zuoche came out early to meet Han Xin, while Kuai Che accompanied Han Xin.

Han Xin nodded slightly and said, "Thanks for your hard work!"

"It's not hard, thanks to the marshal's thorough planning, Linzi is now under control." Li Zuoche replied humbly.

Han Xin asked, "Where's Tian Guang?"

"King Qi...Tian Guang killed himself!" At this moment, the capital city and the palace have been occupied, which means that Qi State no longer exists, and Tian Guang, the title of King Qi, does not seem to exist anymore.

"Die by suicide?" Han Xin sneered, Tian Guang's choice and approach were the same as Wei Bao's, so let's just die, Han Xin no longer takes them seriously.

"Burial with the ceremonies of a duke!" Han Xin immediately ordered, although he was very angry with Tian Guang, but now that he is dead, there is no need to be more serious.On the contrary, it was necessary to do this in order to buy people's hearts and stabilize the situation in Qi. After all, the Tian family and his son had notified Qi for a while, and the people of Qi were more affectionate towards them.At the same time, it won't make me appear unfeeling and ungrateful. Fame is still useful. This is what Han Xin learned from Liu Bang!

Of course, these are mainly Kuai Che's suggestions and instructions when he came here. With this counselor around, I can worry less about many things.

"Promise!" Marshal Han's order, of course, cannot be refused in any way, and someone will handle it properly.

Han Xin continued: "After dawn, quickly stabilize the situation in Linzi and appease the people. What we need is a complete Linzi, a stable Linzi. In addition, we need to rectify the soldiers who surrendered in Qi State, and then quickly intervene in the reorganization. We have done a good job. , we can get a decent army again."

Everyone heard it in their ears, and couldn't help sighing softly in their hearts. How should the "we" in Han Xin's words be understood now?Especially generals like Guan Ying, who were originally loyal to the King of Han, fought with Marshal Han all the time.It would be best if the above two had maintained a good relationship. Unfortunately, now that a rift has gradually emerged, they can't help being a little embarrassed about how to deal with this attitude and how to deal with themselves.

Han Xin didn't know what they were thinking. Maybe he was still excited at this time and didn't notice many things.But Kuai Che saw everything.Now Han Xin basically has everything, and the future development is not small. This is exactly the king he has dreamed of finding for many years.Naturally, we must assist with all our strength to achieve great things.

Han Xin's strengths are basically in the military, and politics and scheming are much worse, so Kuai Che is basically helping him with these things.Kuai Che is also very honored to take on this responsibility, and he has done everything well.So much so that Han Xin often admired that he finally had a character like Zhang Liang, and with Kuai Che, there was great hope for great things.

Han Xin then ordered: "The army of Longqie of the Western Chu Kingdom is not far away. I am happy, but I can't be too happy. I must be ready to face the battle. Let Longqie taste the strength of our Han army and let him know Let’s talk about what it means to fail.”

Han Xin spoke very firmly, and the confidence in his tone was self-evident, and even a little conceited.However, Hanxin almost has this capital, at least everyone thinks so.

With a few hours left in the night, Han Xin came to rest in King Qi's palace.It's snowing heavily outside now and it's very cold.Now that Linzi City has been taken down, it is best to shelter from the wind and rain.In contrast, he was naturally unwilling to stay in a camp outside the city.

Many Han troops followed into the city, but Han Xin gave them strict orders.You can avoid the cold and keep warm in Cheng, but you must not disturb the people of Linzi.First of all, the people are innocent, so why bother to implicate the innocent people.Secondly, if I have plans to develop in Qi State in the future, I will naturally treat the people of Linzi well.His own people will naturally feel more distressed.Throughout the ages, an army that has committed no crimes has always been easily recognized.

These are all seen by the people of Qi State. All the food in the Qi royal family and official warehouses were swept away by the Han army. Of course, no one else knew about it.

After everything was arranged, Han Xin entered the Qi Palace.But it's not time for him to rest yet, because he was so excited that he couldn't fall asleep.Secondly, although Qi has been conquered, there are many things to deal with.From now on, every step you take must be extra cautious.

Li Zuoche was ordered to stabilize the situation in Linzi, while Guan Ying was responsible for the rest of the soldiers and the custody of the prisoners of war.

Han Xin and Kuai Che came to the warm palace to discuss the next step.

"Sir, now that Linzi has been taken, do you have anything to say?" Now every step of action has a great relationship with politics, so Han Xin has to be cautious, and he must first seek Kuai Che's opinions on many things. .Facts have proved that many of Kuai Che's suggestions are very useful.

Kuai Che replied: "Marshal, I think there are four things that need attention."

"Which four?" Han Xin asked with great interest.

Kuai Che replied: "The first is to stabilize the situation in Linzi, and the people's hearts will be united. Stability and prosperity are conducive to the Marshal's next move."

"Well, put this point aside, this commander knows it well!"

"Secondly, the marshal should have a consideration for the appeasement and reuse of Guan Ying and other generals!"

"Sir, you are right. They are all meritorious persons now. Although they were all Hanchens at the beginning, they may not be useless for me in the future. I believe they will make their own choices. This commander will be careful about this matter."

Kuai Che nodded lightly: "These two are small things. I believe the marshal will be able to handle them properly. The next step is relatively tricky. The first is to deal with Long Qi. Anyway, he is from the Western Chu Kingdom. The number one general, and there are [-] troops under his command, is the marshal sure of defeating him?"

"If you can't beat a small dragon, what face does Han Xin have to let reality come up with advice?" Han Xin seemed to be joking, but it also showed his inner self-confidence, which is definitely not something ordinary people can have.

Kuai Che continued: "That's good, there is one more important thing, that is, how is the Marshal and Liu Bang going to settle?"
