I’m The King

Qin Lei returned to Hecheng County Office with blood stains and exhaustion all over, and with a bang, he threw the big knife with the blade like a saw into the corner, and sat on the threshold of the door with his butt, breathing non-stop. He is almost sixty years old, and the years are not forgiving, and the feeling of powerlessness is getting worse day by day. Today, in order to protect him, three more soldiers fell in front of him. Take off his helmet and hug him. In her arms, strands of white hair were all glued together.

He has been in Crane City for half a year. Half a year ago, not long after He Lanxiong left with the main force of Dongye, the Qin Jun Li Xinbu suddenly came out of Shanggu. Daijun was caught off guard, and most of the towns were almost beaten by the Qin Army. The county's capital, Xiling City, was captured.After the county guard Zhao Yong was captured by Li Xinsheng, the situation became even more unbearable.Zhao Yong was captured and surrendered.After the Qin army escorted Zhao Yong all the way to persuade him to surrender, almost all the places in Daijun were occupied by the Qin army.

Qin Lei was stationed in Nanzhang at the time. At the time of the incident, he was reviewing the garrison troops in Crane City. Crane City was attacked by the Zhao Army during the Zilan era. He hated it, and most of the troops stationed in Hecheng were summoned in Hecheng County after the war.Here, it is also the front line for the county to resist Zhao.

Qin Lei had not come back to Nanzhang in Crane City, Qin Jun Qingqi took Zhao Yong to Nanzhang to persuade him to surrender. After seeing Zhao Yong, the Nanzhang left-behind lieutenant Kaicheng surrendered. Qin Lei led more than 20,000 generations of county chiefs. The smoke disappeared, and more than 20,000 people were disarmed after the incident and left the army.

Zhao Yong's persuasion to surrender hit a nail in Hecheng. He originally thought that a veteran of the Zilan era like Qin Lei would definitely surrender under his own call. Unexpectedly, after seeing Zhao Yong, Qin Lei screamed that Zhao Yong was a cartilage. , Failed the old county guard's painstaking efforts, not only did not surrender, but put on a posture of fighting the Qin people to the end.

Qin Jun was unsuccessful in persuading him to surrender, and he immediately launched an attack on Crane City, but what Qin Jun did not expect is that Crane City is a copper pea that can not be smashed and chewed. Without knocking on the gate of Crane City, after suffering heavy casualties, Li Xin only left an army to monitor Crane City, leading most of them to chase He Lanxiong.

Of course, after Li Xin left, he never returned.

Fortunately for Crane City, because of the last massacre of the Zhao Jun, the people in Crane City were almost killed and injured, and there were few people left. After the reconstruction of Crane City, there were very few people living in the city. Because it is rumored that every night, there will be countless dead souls wandering in the street, wailing. This makes Crane City almost into a military city, even if there are a few residents, they all live by attaching to the army. Do some chores for the army, or sell something to the army to make a living.

The small population allows Crane City to have more sufficient food reserves to meet this crisis. This is also the reason why Crane City insists on this.

The Qin army left, but Zhao Qi's army came again. After Zhao Qi retreated to Shanggu, he immediately took over Daijun from the retreating Qin army. The Qin people didn't care whether they could defeat Hecheng or not, but However, Zhao Qi had to get rid of it quickly, so after Li Mingjun and his troops arrived, the offensive against Crane City was stronger day by day, which also made Qin Lei's life more and more sad.

The casualties are more than one day, but the food is less than one day, and seeing the granary is about to turn to the sky.

There was a person sitting beside Qin Lei, reaching out and handing him a black bun and a bowl of clear water. "Come on, Commander Qin, eat a little bit to build up strength." The man smiled authentically.

I can't see the color clearly in the clothes of a Dahan county official. His thin face is blue and black, and his eyes are sunken. He looks at most twenty years old. This is Lu Ting, the magistrate of the Han Dynasty stationed in Hecheng.

"It's not time for puff pastry today. This was allotted to you yesterday, right? Why didn't you eat it?" Qin Lei frowned as he looked at the black bun in his hand.

"Not hungry!" Lu Ting licked his mouth and said.

"Fart, look at you with a look of food, you are shaking when you walk, right? Take it to eat." Qin Lei wanted to stuff the steamed bun back.

Lu Ting shook his head: "Commander Qin, you are a person who is going to fight. You have no strength if you don't eat. I am behind, and I don't use a knife or stick. I consume very little energy every day and I am hungry."

"I am fighting at the front, and you are coordinating at the rear. It will not be easier than me. Why are you not hungry?" Qin Lei snorted.

Lu Ting chuckled, "Commander Qin, I am most afraid of death, do you know?"

Qin Lei looked at him up and down, "I really haven't seen this."

"It's true, I'm really scared of death. I still have a father and a mother in my family. I haven't married a daughter-in-law yet. That's why I saved Momo for you!" Lu Ting chuckled: "You If you eat vigorously and can hold the city, I don't have to die. If you are tired and can't hold the city, then Li Mingjun attacked in and chopped my neck with a single knife, so I would rather starve to death. , And don’t want to be hacked to death."

Qin Lei looked at the county magistrate who was afraid of death, but he couldn't see a trace of fear in his eyes. Some were just indifferent. He couldn't help but shook his head and said, "It's not easy for you, a scholar, to see death as home!"

"What do you think of death as home? I'm expecting General Qin to keep the city and I can live a hundred years!" Lu Ting said: "The situation is now very good, Li Xin is defeated, don't look at Li Mingjun now jumping happily, waiting for our reinforcements Once he arrives, he promises to run faster than the rabbit."

"That's the way it is said, but it is not easy for our reinforcements to come to Crane City. Zhao Qi will definitely be fortified at every level. I am really worried that we will not last for one day. By the order of Lu County, How much food do we have?"

"Each soldier has a bun every day, and we still have five days of food." Lu Ting put up a slap and shook it in front of Qin Lei.

Qin Lei's heart sighed, "Is there nothing else to eat in the city?"

"My county magistrate is really three feet tall, let alone the people's grain storage cellars that I dug all over, and even the bark and edible leaves have been cleaned up." Lu Ting He laughed and said: "I guess I will definitely be named in Crane City in the future, and the future county annals will write Lu Ting Ren Ling, the sky is three feet high, hahaha!"

Qin Lei didn't speak, took a big bite of the bun, chewed in his mouth, and chewed suddenly, and looked down at the bun in his hand. Small pieces of meat.

"Where did the meat come from?"

Lu Ting blushed, "Today I was really tired, and fell asleep in the corner of the room. I fell asleep and felt a pain on my face. I opened my eyes and found that a mouse was biting me. I was evil. Xiang Jinbian was born, but he was overjoyed, and he slapped this little thing in a hand, and then it was naturally cooked. His head had been eaten by me, and it was quite fragrant!"

Qin Lei looked at Lu Ting, the corners of his eyes were a little moist, so tired that he fell asleep, he must be hungry and fainted.

"I, I have eaten your buns and your meat, so I will definitely guard Crane City, so watch it!" Qin Lei swallowed the meat buns in two mouthfuls, stood up, put on his helmet, and walked over. On the weapon rack by the wall, took a brand-new big knife and strode towards the outside of the yamen.

In the dead of night, Qin Lei and his clothes were lying on the top of the tower, widening his eyes and looking at the hole on the top of the building. It was smashed by a stone bomb thrown by Zhao Jun's trebuchet. The stone has been moved to the city wall. The upper part was broken into small pieces as a weapon to defend the city, leaving only a large hole on the top of the building where you can admire the starry sky.

The food can still last for the last five days.There are only two thousand soldiers in the city who can fight, and there is no news about where the reinforcements are.Now that Crane City is isolated, there is no news at all.

Qin Lei decided to stick to it for three more days, and then ate all the food that he could eat, and then led the army out of the city to break through, how much he could escape. He always had to leave some fireworks for Crane City.

In three days, is it possible for reinforcements to come? Qin Lei shook his head, Dongye came from the prairie, and wanted to reach Hecheng, he had to pass the two passes of Xiling and Nanzhang. How difficult it is, even if they can fight over, it is not short. The matter of time, and I will never support it at that time.

Sometimes Qin Lei himself was thinking about what he was insisting on. Even Zhao Yong had surrendered. What was he insisting on? As time went on, with the victory of the Han army, Qin Lei finally understood his deepest heart. The idea of ​​Zhao Guo has been completely finished. The Qin Army has been greatly injured this time, and the rise of Han has been irresistible, and the surrender of the young master Zhao Yong is the biggest failure. Once the Han Army wins, the punishment for the traitors will be nothing. Be merciful, my persistence is also in order to do something for the young master in the future? If you are lucky, you can really survive. With your own credit this time, how can you get Zhao Yong's life back? This is Zilan. The county guard had the last bit of blood.

He sighed deeply, closed his eyes, go to sleep, go to bed, and fight tomorrow, what use is it thinking about now?

Qin Lei was awakened by the thunder-beating door.He jumped up and opened the door of the room. Outside the door, one of his last soldiers stood.

"Commander, our reinforcements are here, the reinforcements are here!" The soldier's face was full of ecstasy, jumping and almost shouting to him to report the news.

"What are you saying, reinforcements, reinforcements are coming? Is it Li Mingjun's trick to send people to pretend to be reinforcements to earn us out of the city?" Qin Lei rushed out, leaning on the battlements, and looked at the Zhao Jun camp not far away, where the fire was blazing. , The sound of shouting and killing shook the sky, and the sound of thundering horseshoes was like knocking on his heart.

"Look at the commander, if it is pretending, it is so realistic. Moreover, Zhao Jun has not seen many cavalry in this period of time, but the attackers seem to be all cavalry!" The soldier said loudly. Continued)
