Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

"Fengjun?"

In this era, Zheng Anping knows how rare the position of the emperor is.

And forget about other countries, Qin and Zhao were originally the two countries with the fewest monarchs.

If you want to obtain the title of emperor in these two countries, you must either be a public family member who has a close relationship with the monarch, or you can only make great contributions to the country.

Now Zheng Anping is just a mere general of the Qin State, and he is still relatively unranked, but now the Zhao people say that as long as Zheng Anping surrenders, he can become the king?This really made Zheng Anping hard to believe.

But Zheng Zhu didn't seem to be joking, but said to Zheng Anping seriously: "General, don't forget that once the general donates this city, not only the 20 people under the general's command, but the entire Hedong County It will fall into the hands of Zhao Guo. Does the general think that it is really a loss-making business to exchange a title of emperor for a county of Hedong?"

Zheng Anping frowned and thought about it, and suddenly felt that what Zheng Zhu said seemed quite reasonable.

If it was Zheng Anping who surrendered to Zhao Guo himself, then he is actually nothing.

But if Zheng Anping was able to bring 20 Qin troops and the entire Anyi city to surrender to Zhao, then the meaning would be completely different.

Having said that, Zheng Anping still had some doubts in his heart.

After all, although the envoy of the Zhao Kingdom is speaking convincingly here, who knows whether what he said is true or not, and how can he prove that the promise will be fulfilled in the future?

Zheng Anping looked up at Zheng Zhu, and said to Zheng Zhu, "How should this general trust you?"

Zheng Zhu smiled, and suddenly took out a secret letter from his hand, and put it in front of Zheng Anping.

"This is my king's own handwriting, the general will know it at a glance."

Zheng Anping almost couldn't wait to snatch the secret letter from Zheng Zhu's hand, opened it and read it.

The above content is actually very simple, only one line of words.

"Canonize Zheng Anping as Lord Wuyang of Zhao State!"

And under this line of words, there is a seal.

The seal of Zhao Guojun Yuxi.

Zheng Anping fixedly stared at the letter of appointment in front of him, without saying a word for a long time, the expression on his face fluctuated, obviously he was engaged in some kind of fierce psychological struggle in his heart.

On the opposite side of Zheng Anping, Zheng Zhu sat firmly on the Diaoyutai with a very indifferent expression on his face.

After a long time, Zheng Anping finally raised his head and slammed his fist on the table in front of him.

"Since the king of Zhao has treated him so favorably, it doesn't matter if this general surrenders to the country of Zhao!"

Chapter 343 Sima Jin's Divine Power ([-]rd update)

Wancheng.

In terms of geographical location, the city of Wancheng is very important to both Qin and Chu.

It is precisely because of this that the Qin and Chu countries launched such a thrilling siege battle in this city, and neither side had any intention of bowing to the other before the victory was decided.

On this day, when the sun just rose, the powerful offensive of the Qin army had already started.

Hundreds of tall arrow towers appeared outside the city wall of Wancheng. The height of these arrow towers was completely level with the city wall of Wancheng. The archers of the Qin army relied on these arrow towers to compete with the archers of the Chu army on the city wall. Crazy shooting.

Countless arrows are like extremely dense black clouds, shuttling back and forth in the air non-stop, whether it is the Qin army archers on the arrow tower or the Chu army archers on the city wall, they are all decreasing at a rapid speed.

But the people of Qin didn't seem to care at all. Whenever the arrows shot from the arrow tower become sparse, a new group of archers will climb up the arrow tower to replace the comrades who have suffered heavy casualties and continue to fight against the Chu army. .

Although many generals of the Qin State were concerned about the casualties of the soldiers and raised objections to this, the chief general of the Qin Army, Wang Lu, rejected all opinions and gave unreserved support for this combat policy.

It is precisely because of the containment of these Qin army archers that the Chu archers on the city wall were forced to put most of their energy on the Qin army's towers, and the number of arrows shot to the ground was inevitably greatly reduced. .

Under such circumstances, the pressure on the Qin army's ground siege troops would naturally be greatly reduced.

Looking down from the wall of Wancheng, you can see countless soldiers of the Qin Army rushing towards Wancheng like countless black ants carrying countless ladders.

The tall moat has long been filled by the Qin army, but this is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that huge slopes began to appear under the walls of Wancheng.

Thanks to the hard work of Qin's chariots for so many days, thousands of bags of sand have been piled up under the walls of Wancheng, forming these slopes.

These slopes directly shortened the height difference between the city wall of Wancheng and the ground by half.

Although the current Wancheng city wall still maintains a height that cannot be climbed, the problem of shortening the height by half still arises, that is, the height that the soldiers of the Qin Army need to climb through the ladder is also half less than before.

In other words, the time for the soldiers of the Qin Army to rush up the city wall was shortened by half compared to before.

It is precisely because of this half length shortening that the difficulty for the Chu army to defend the city has directly doubled.

In the past few days, the Qin army has attacked the top of Wancheng several times, which is the best proof.

Although it is said that every time the Qin people attack the city, they will be beaten back by the stubborn Chu army, but it must be admitted that when it comes to this kind of close combat, the Chu army is indeed at a disadvantage compared to the Qin army soldiers, so the Chu army guards The casualties of soldiers in the city are also rising sharply.

At the most critical juncture, the chief general of the Chu army, Shangzhu Guojingyang of the Chu state, even had to go to the front line to boost morale, which made the Chu army beat down the Qin people who were attacking the top of the city.

Surrounded by dangers, this is the best portrayal of Wancheng these days.

To be honest, even Jingyang himself, who always seems to be full of confidence and looks like a needle in the sea, has no confidence in whether Wancheng can continue to persevere.

Under the onslaught of the Qin army almost ignoring casualties, the Chu army's defense line in Wancheng has been oppressed to the limit time and time again.

With the passage of time, no matter the arrows and stones shot from the city wall, or even the splashing speed of gold juice, it has been far behind the Qin army's attack speed.

It was at this time that a general of the Qin State shouted loudly, jumped up from the ladder, and flew up to the wall of Wancheng.

This general of the Qin State was very tall and burly, and he was full of murderous aura. He held a sharp sword and waved countless cold lights in the air.

That's not counting, just behind the Qin general, one after another Qin soldiers jumped onto the top of the city along the passage opened by the Qin general.

In a short period of time, the number of soldiers of the Qin Army above the city has reached dozens, and it seems that there may be more than 100 soldiers at any time.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Jingyang couldn't help gasping.

If this continues, the Qin people will gain a firm foothold at the head of Wancheng.

So Jingyang immediately issued an order: "Come on, come and reinforce the city immediately, and drive all these Qin people out!"

As a leading general who has fought on the battlefield for more than ten years and spent half his life in the army, Jingyang knows too well how to capture a city.

Once the Qin people have a position at the top of Wancheng, this position will soon be continuously expanded by the Qin people, and eventually the entire city will be occupied by the Qin people.

So once these Qin people cannot be driven away, the fall of Wancheng is completely doomed!

Immediately after Jingyang gave the order, a captain of the Chu army rushed towards the Qin people with his troops.

In terms of numbers, the Chu army undoubtedly holds an overwhelming advantage.
