The beginning is the emperor

Chapter 203 So Are You Playing My King?

All the soldiers in the Kongu camp had been brought under control, as were Chuzi and the other generals. All the soldiers were squatting down. Many tents were in a mess, and there were countless corpses on the ground.

Hu Che'er had already commanded the soldiers to separate the surrendered enemy generals from the soldiers, gather them all together, and then assign the soldiers to start cleaning up the battlefield.

Although the bodies of some dead robes cannot be taken back, some things will basically be taken from them, such as cloth or other clothing.

When Hu Che'er was commanding the soldiers, Meng Ben passed by him, and suddenly Hu Che'er stopped him.

"Before, thank you very much."

Hu Che'er was silent for a while and opened his mouth, while Meng Ben smiled innocently: "It's okay, you are my robe, and I will save you."

Ren Tian and Bai Qi went to the main tent. This empty valley camp had already been taken over by the Xin Guo army. After a while, the casualties also came out. On the Xin Guo side, basically more than 200 people died. It wasn't high, but most of the people who died were the core soldiers of the Imperial Guard, which made Ren Tian feel a little distressed. If the soldiers recruited in the dungeon died, he would not feel distressed at all.

And in this camp, there are a total of [-] soldiers, and they are all soldiers of the B-rank legion. It's a pity that Ren Tian also sent the B-rank legion, and under the leadership of Hu Che'er, they are extremely brave.

With [-] soldiers, Ren Tian checked the military merits. In addition to this camp, the materials cleaned and other miscellaneous things, he also got nearly [-] military merits, which made Ren Tian feel a little more comfortable.

"Your Majesty, what about the prisoners?"

Hu Che'er asked.

Ren Tian said casually: "Bring them all up first, and ask to see if there are any clues."

Bai Qi will not take prisoners, Ren Tian will naturally squeeze out the final value. If he can get some useful information from these generals, such as a barracks or granary with a relatively small number of defenders, it will be extremely beneficial to Xinguo. advantageous.

Leaning lazily on the chair behind him, this chair was also made temporarily and was not very comfortable.

The rest of Bai Qi and the others sat in the rest of the seats.

Soon, the previous Chuzi and others were all tied up and brought in, and then the soldiers behind kicked their knees hard, making them kneel on the ground.

"Your Majesty!"

Chuzi and the others lowered their heads, and Ren Tian smiled and said: "The generals don't have to lower their heads, they all raise their heads. In fact, I just want to ask you something. If I can get a satisfactory answer, I won't." I can't go with you."

Chuzi raised his head, only to see an extremely young man sitting on the coach seat, and sighed: "The defeated general, what else is there to say?"

"Hey, this general, that's not what he said. At least, you should know your name, right?"

Ren Tian also had some amused intentions, with a smile on his face: Anyway, I left after finishing the camp in the empty valley this time, so it doesn't matter if I waste a little more time.

"My name is Chuzi, and I am a general of Qi State."

Ren Tian snorted, opened the system panel and checked the contacts, and then he was quite surprised. This guy can be regarded as a second-tier famous general. He didn't expect to be guarding the Konggu camp here now?
"General Chuzi, this king has heard of the general's name a long time ago, and has admired the general for a long time. When two armies fight, there must be winners and losers. Therefore, the general should not take this defeat to heart. Come on, Untie the General."

Ren Tian smiled.

There was a hint of surprise in Chuzi's eyes, and the soldiers behind really came up to untie him.

"General, stand up and speak."

"Thank you, King."

The tentacles clasped their fists together, and there was a hint of gratitude in their eyes, because Ren Tian didn't treat him as a prisoner, but treated him as an equal. This is really impressive for the Spring and Autumn and Warring States concept of "a scholar dies for his confidant". Very touched.

"General, do you know any information? For example, nearby granaries and barracks?"

Ren Tian asked with a smile, "If the general can tell me this information, the king will be very grateful, and even ask the general to be the leader of the country."

The ability to tell lies with eyes open is indeed very high.

But Chuzi obviously took this approach, his face was very grateful, and he clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty's kindness to me, I will never forget it, but I am stationed in this empty valley. I have little contact with Qi's military affairs, so I really don't know about this aspect of information."

When Ren Tian raised his eyebrows, you gave me ten moves and refused?
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter," Ren Tian laughed, "Since the general doesn't know this information, then he should know some information about Linzi City, right?"

"This……"

There was a look of embarrassment on the toucher's face.

Ren Tian smiled and said, "Why don't you tell me everything you know, General?"

Huzi shook his head: "Your Majesty, I am still a general of Qi State, so naturally I cannot do such things that are against the interests of Qi State."

"Then you're playing tricks on me?"

Ren Tian's face suddenly darkened, like a Sichuan opera changing face.

Chuozi was stunned: "Where am I playing with the king?"

"This king obviously treats you favorably for the sake of your willingness to contribute, and now you refuse to share useful information about Linzi, so what use does this king want you for? Come on, pull it out and chop it up !"

Chu Zi was shocked, how could this king change his face when he changed his face?

The soldiers behind him directly dragged Chuzi away, and Chuzi was angry and angry: "You, you..."

"Forget about me, me, me, me. I originally thought that you could be considered a famous general and give you some face, but you don't give me any face. If you really want to be a king, you should beg you? It's too serious If you don't know your identity and situation, drag it out and cut it off!"

Tentacle was terrified and was forcibly dragged out.

"You have to die a good death. You invaded my country of Qi. We are all famous men in Qi. Do I still care about this head? Just behead it!"

Chuzi yelled!

"and many more."

The soldier stopped. Chuzi thought that Ren Tian had changed his mind, but he didn't expect that Ren Tian looked at a general standing next to him.

"Meng Bi, you are responsible for the execution. Go outside and chop him down."

"Yes!"

Meng Benweng clasped his fists in a loud voice, then dragged his tentacles and walked out.

This tentacles can barely be regarded as a B-level general, and he has experience if he cuts it off, so he can't waste it. At least let Meng Ben get this experience, and it will also lay a solid foundation for rushing to an A-level general as soon as possible.

Chuzi's eyes were really splitting, and the sound of yelling and cursing kept coming from outside the tent, but with a click, the other generals who were still kneeling in the tent all felt their bodies tremble and were beaten inexplicably. Chills.

They could even imagine the situation of Chuzi's body and family being separated.

too frightening.

And Ren Tian looked at them with a smile: "Several generals are also loyal and unswerving. I have also seen their bravery in the past. Why don't the generals stand up as well? It's not too bad to always kneel. good."

"No, no, Your Majesty, I am a defeated general and I can only kneel."

A military commander said with a pale face.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the old injury on my legs and knees has recurred. I'm not used to standing, and it will hurt when I stand."

The two generals, one in front and one behind, rushed to speak first, but the remaining three generals also remained silent.

Ren Tian smiled: "Then I won't force it, but ah, I didn't get any information from your commander just now, so you must have some information to tell me?"

Several generals were a little silent, and two of them were pale, and seemed to hesitate to speak.

Ren Tian leaned on the chair and said with a smile: "What about this king, I know that people don't say dark words, why should I lose my life for a city? The city belongs to the country, and my life is my own. This king can guarantee it here." , as long as you tell me useful information about Linzi, or some other useful information, I promise that I will never kill you, and will let you go."

Bai Qi's title skills can't keep prisoners, but he didn't say he couldn't let them go. Of course, Ren Tian wouldn't just let them go for nothing.

After Ren Tian finished speaking, the camp was extremely quiet, the generals were still silent, and two of them were still struggling.

"But if you don't say it, you have seen the fate of your commander just now. It's just a division of your head. If you think it's acceptable, I won't force it. Now choose yourself. You have 3 minutes to think about it."

As soon as these words came out, two of the generals couldn't bear it anymore.

"Your Majesty, I know the latest garrison situation in Linzi City. There are currently 8000 soldiers stationed in Linzi City, but there are also [-] soldiers stationed nearby. At the same time, there are over a million troops in the nearby camp."

"My lord, from the Kongu camp to Linzi city, there will be a shift of guards every day to send messages, and it will be at dawn."

Ren Tian smiled and nodded: "Very good, continue."

It's just that the other three generals who were kneeling glared at those two generals at this moment!

"Qi Xuan, thanks to the fact that you are still from Qi, you can even say such words!"

"You can do this kind of thing where sellers seek glory? Bah! I would be ashamed to be associated with you!"

Those three generals were really angry. In their view, this was betrayal!

Ren Tian frowned: "This king is here to ask questions, why are you interrupting? Come, the three of them will be dragged down and chopped off."

Soon, the three generals were also dragged down, and Ren Tian was amiable again: "Don't stand there, two generals, since you are willing to disclose information, then you are your own, stand up, untie them, and then the information will be released." Come one by one, don't be anxious, Qi Xuan, please go outside and wait for a while."

Not long after, Qi Xuan went out, and there was only one general in the camp.

"What do you know, speak slowly, and say what you think of."

The general thought for a while, and then began to say: "The military commander stationed in Linzi City is Tian Wen. The army in the city is an elite defender with high morale."

"Every day in the camps stationed around, messengers will be sent to Linzi to report the situation, which can be regarded as a handover."

"There is no granary camp nearby. There are many cities in Linzi and nearby. All the grain has been stored in the city. There are no granaries in the wild."

"There are a lot of soldiers in the camp. It is said that Qi State is planning to attack Qin, and Linzi happened to be selected as a training ground, responsible for delivering food to those soldiers in the camp."

Ren Tian, ​​Bai Qi and the others could hear the soldier's message clearly, no one interrupted him, but Ren Tian was a little disappointed when he heard that there was no granary nearby.

Originally, when I wanted to go back, I would cut down a granary on the way to make some military achievements, but I didn't expect that there was no granary.

However, Qi State chose the training site near Linzi, which is equivalent to a military training logistics site. It is estimated that the A-level difficulty will rise after a while, and it is really impossible to take down Linzi.

Ren Tian felt a little pity in his heart, and the general was still racking his brains to get out all the things he knew.

"It's okay, anecdotes are fine, as long as you know it, you can tell it."

Ren Tian smiled and encouraged.

"It is said that when the city of Linzi encountered a flood, the flood water rose to the height of the city wall, and new ditches were dug later."

"There is also Linzi City. There is still a secret passage that can secretly lead to the outside of the city. It is somewhere west of Linzi City, but it has been abandoned."

"Wait, what did you say?!"

Ren Tian suddenly opened his eyes wide, and Bai Qi beside him also stared.

The general was taken aback, Ren Tian hurriedly said: "It's okay, what did you just say, there is a secret passage leading out of the city."

"Yes, yes, but it has been a long time. It can be regarded as a tunnel. Not many people know this."

A gleam flashed in Ren Tian's eyes, he smiled and said, "You've said very well, you go down first, and I'll let you know later."

When the general went down, another man named Qi Xuan was also brought up. After some questioning, it was verified by both parties that he was indeed not lying.

Detain these two generals first, Ren Tian looked at Bai Qi.

"Your Majesty, you should first verify the feasibility of this passage."

Ren Tian nodded, called Hu Che'er, and asked him to bring a few soldiers, change his attire, and go look for the tunnel according to the location assigned by one of the generals.

Digging tunnels is also a magical operation in ancient wars.

Yuan Shao dug a tunnel to destroy Gongsun Zan. He dug secretly, and he dug against the city wall. He only needed to dig a three-meter-long concave hole, and the army could sneak in sequentially in an orderly manner, and it was easy to attack the city.

Later, when Yuan Shao was dealing with Cao Cao, he dug again. As a result, Cao Cao adopted the method of digging trenches around the camp.

However, to be specific, digging a tunnel is too troublesome and labor-intensive, because digging a tunnel is too easy to be noticed when it is close, and it takes too much effort and time to dig it far away. Encirclement can be carried out by enclosing the exit.

Historically, the Taiping army was very good at digging tunnels. In the past, there were 8 gates in the ancient city of Hefei. Later, one of the northern gates was blown down by the Taiping army digging tunnels. Now there are only 7 gates left.

It's not that Ren Tian hadn't thought about digging a tunnel before, but he quickly ruled it out because it was too time-consuming, but he didn't expect that there is a tunnel leading to the outside in Linzi City?
That's interesting.
