It is one thing for the soldiers of the Qi army to go on expeditions to foreign borders, seeking glory and wealth, but at least they have to save their lives to go back.

Otherwise, no matter how much money you have, you will have your life to earn but not your life to spend.

Liu Rengui was wearing armor and patrolling the battle formation. All the soldiers held weapons and closely monitored every move at the city gate in front of them.

"General, sentry cavalry is here to report. There are no enemy troops within dozens of miles around." Gan Ning held a broadsword majesticly, and did not take it lightly at all.

"Order all the ministries to closely monitor every move of the enemy army in the city, and report immediately if there is any movement."

The sentinels moved out quickly, moving around.At three o'clock in the morning, the east gate slowly opened, and a large group of people pushing carts and cows came out.

The cries of people, the cries of livestock, and the cries of children resounded through the sky.When Qi soldiers saw this, they were all dumbfounded and looked at each other, all extremely embarrassed.

Jin Lai came out with a piece of silk in his hand, bowed to Liu Rengui and said, "The army of the Qi State is at the top, and I am waiting for the King of Vientiane to sincerely worship the State..."

At first, Liu Rengui listened patiently, but as he listened, he felt something was wrong.

There is no nutrition in this letter of surrender, it is completely full of all kinds of words.Everything related to the world, population, treasury, etc. is not described.

"Stop!" Liu Rengui interrupted Jinlai, pulled his horse forward, pressed the spear in his hand against the opponent's chest and said, "Don't play tricks on me, otherwise, you will definitely regret it."

Jin Lai said with a smile: "The general is powerful, how can we not surrender, we are a country of barbarians, and we cannot understand kingship, this paper of surrender was written after our monarchs and ministers studied it for a whole night and consulted countless ancient books Yes. The general will take a break until I finish reading."

There was a sly smile on Liu Rengui's face, he looked at Jinlai in front of him and said in a low voice: "Don't think that you are the only one who knows this strategy. go aside."

After all, the two Qi soldiers quickly supported Jinlai and forcibly pulled him aside.

"General Zhang, General Gan."

Gan Ning and Zhang Shun quickly stepped forward to take orders.

"The end is here."

"The enemy army in the city has made it clear that they are going to resist, and they deliberately use the people and the carriages to attract our attention. I predict that the enemy will break out from the other gates. You should quickly and closely monitor the movement of the other three gates. If there is any abnormality, Kill them directly, and never let them go."

The two led the order and left quickly.

Liu Rengui still felt a little uneasy, so he called the lieutenant next to him again and said, "Arrange all the soldiers, gather all the people aside, and carefully identify whether there are any members of the royal family of the Vientiane Kingdom among them. If they are all captured again, those who dare to resist , massacred on the spot."

The two sides moved quickly, and there was a commotion outside the east gate.

The people in Vientiane were driven away by the Qi army one after another, and the large group of people was divided into countless small groups, and the soldiers stepped forward to identify them one by one.Some powerful men dared to resist, and the soldiers of the Qi army resolutely carried out Liu Rengui's general order and slaughtered them all.

Under the suppression of the Qi army with big sticks and candied dates, these common people succumbed to their despotic power one after another.

In the royal palace inside the city, Tan Jichun and many concubines disguised themselves and put on common people's clothes, but they heard that the Qi army was arresting common people outside the city for screening.The family members of some ministers were also among them, but unfortunately facing the piercing Qi army, these people were identified one after another.

Qin Jichun was also very anxious when he heard the words.

Although there are many people in the city, if they leave the city slowly, sooner or later there will be a moment when they are done.

If after they drove out all the people in the city, if the reinforcements still did not come, what awaited him would be a dead end.

"My lord, I don't want to die, I don't want to die!" A concubine looked at Tan Jichun in front of her and shouted eagerly.

Tan Jichun glanced at the many concubines beside Yingying and Yanyan, and became more and more anxious.

Most of these people are members of the royal family who came from conquering countries and plundering themselves. After more than ten years, they have reached their current scale.Although they are slightly different from the Han people in terms of appearance and dress, they also have a unique flavor.

At the critical juncture, if they fall into the hands of the Qi army with their looks, even if they think about it with their feet, they can understand their end.

Just as he was thinking about it, the guard nearby suddenly said: "Your Majesty, before Mr. Jinlai left, he told you to be willing to give up beauty and wealth. Now, we haven't broken out of the encirclement, if we delay here, I'm afraid it will be really dangerous .”

In desperation, Qin Jichun really made up his mind. Looking at the wives and concubines around him, he pulled out his own knife and shouted: "Life and death are determined by fate and wealth. You have enjoyed a lot of blessings by following me. Now, you should It's time for you to repay me. The enemy army outside the city is about to invade, and our reinforcements are on the way. As long as we delay the time, the reinforcements will definitely defeat the enemy army when they arrive. Before that, I want you all to leave the city , to attract the enemy's attention for me."

As soon as this remark came out, many concubines present immediately refused to agree.

These canaries, let them compete for favor with each other, they are definitely good players.But let them go to die, even if they are killed, they don't have the guts.

A slightly older woman grabbed Tan Jichun's wrist and said, "My lord, I have been with you for ten years and have given birth to three children for you. Do you just abandon me like this?"

Tan Jichun was also a little bit reluctant, but for the sake of his country and his own life, he had no choice but to draw out his sword and shout loudly: "If you don't go, I'll kill you!"

This woman wanted to persuade her husband to change his mind again, but Tan Jichun was determined.In order to establish his prestige, he didn't care so much, he directly drew his sword and slashed at the woman who had been with him for many years.

In an instant, blood spattered and died tragically on the spot.

Looking at the sisters lying in a pool of blood, the others cried out in fright.

Qin Jichun seemed to be affected by the blood, the sword in his hand had no intention of stopping, he kept waving the sword, harvesting one life after another frantically.

Under his coercion, these poor women could only stagger towards the city gate with their children.

The city gate, which had already been evacuated, suddenly became crowded because of the appearance of these women with large and small bags.

The soldiers of the Qi army are all men of blood and vigor, and the ordinary people before are all in the posture of willows, which is hard to catch.But these concubines in Qin Jichun's harem are all amazing flowers, which makes people want to stop after seeing them.Although they are bound by military discipline, they dare not go up and rob them in broad daylight.

But feast your eyes, but there is no violation.

Just when the soldiers of the Qi army were attracted, Tan Jichun led the remaining team of about a hundred people, opened the west gate again, and walked out quickly surrounded by the people.

Different from the east gate, there are obviously a lot fewer Qi soldiers on Ximen's side.

It seemed that the hope of escape was at hand.

Chapter 987

Guarding the west gate is Zhang Shun who was appointed by Liu Rengui.

He had just arrived, and was planning to catch his breath, but he didn't expect that at this moment, the gate of the city opened, and the brigade of people came out from inside.

"Order the ministries to surround them and not allow any of them to leave the city."

Zhang Shun issued an order, and the soldiers rushed forward with weapons in hand.

When the people saw the swordsmen, they panicked.

But at this moment, Tan Jichun, who was in the crowd, took the opportunity to make trouble, causing the people to flee in all directions, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

Zhang Shun is not a benevolent person. Whether he was in Pingzhou or Yizhou, as long as he led the army, he always carried out the strategic policy of cutting grass and roots.

It's good that these people don't move now, once they move, how can he let it go.The knives in the soldiers' hands swung quickly, and for a while, countless soldiers died tragically in the hands of Qi soldiers.

Seeing that Qi Jun opened the killing ring, Tan Jichun didn't care so much, he drove his favorite son and concubine, and fled all the way south.

And those relatives and common people who failed to escape to the frame all died tragically under the butcher's knife of the Qi army.Seeing that they could not leave the city, some people could only return to the city.

All the way down south, after running for nearly twenty miles, the Qi army still hadn't caught up.Only then did Qin Jichun let out a sigh of relief.Pity him for a generation of kings who held great power and once had tens of thousands of troops under their knees.But now, he actually ended up alone. This kind of ups and downs made him a little dejected.
