Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

These people who were in name canal quickly disappeared in the streets of Yiqu City.

What the Qin State Yiqu City officials didn't notice was that in the past few days, hundreds of nominal Qucheng people had entered Yiqu City by hiding among the crowd for various reasons.

And none of them left town.

In the evening of this day, a Yiqu cavalry force of about 2000 people quietly came to the foot of a hill a few miles away from Yiqu City.

Yiqusheng took a few of his cronies up the hill and stared at Yiqu City from afar.

"My lord, do you think they will succeed?" A person from Yiqu, who looked like a little boss, asked eagerly.

Yiqusheng snorted, and said: "These Qin people have never put us Yiqu people in their eyes. The failure of Yiquhai last time gave them confidence. In their eyes, we Yiqu people are absolutely worthless." We will take the initiative to attack Yiqu City. This time we are going to take Yiqu City beyond their expectations!"

Yi Qusheng was full of confidence in his words. He had been planning for almost half a year to seize the city this time.

The sky gradually darkened.

In Yiqu City, a curfew will be enforced as long as it is dark.Therefore, when the dark sky covered the earth, the entire Yiqu City would quickly quiet down.

In a seemingly inconspicuous private house not far from the city gate, hundreds of people from other countries gathered together, and this small room was packed to the brim. Those who just entered the city.

"Second and third sons, now that the state of Qin has weakened, it is a great opportunity for us to rise up! Today we are going to capture Yiqu City and restore the glory of Yiqu country!"

All the Yiqu men clenched their right fists and patted their chests lightly, growling lowly, with undisguised murderous intent on their faces, like a pack of hungry wolves.

The door of the room was opened, and a man named Qu, holding a sharp knife, disappeared into the darkness from the side door of the yard, and quietly walked towards the city gate not far away.

It was a chilly spring night, most of the soldiers of the Qin army at the city gate huddled in the gate tower, occasionally there was a sound of footsteps from the top of the city, it was the passing Qin army patrol.

After another burst of footsteps from the patrol team passed by the top of the city, several figures quietly flashed into the gate tower.

Several dull screams sounded, and then the smell of blood began to spread in the air little by little.

More figures of Yiqu people began to appear from the darkness.

A soldier of the Qin army who went out to use the toilet just walked back to the gate of the city gate, and happened to collide with several Yiqu people who rushed out from inside.

Under the light of the torches, the cold light of the sharp blade in the hands of the Yiqu people and the blood on the blade were extremely conspicuous.

"Enemy attack!" A scream came from the mouth of the Qin soldier, breaking the silence.

The next moment, the sharp blade pierced through the Qin soldier's chest without hindrance.

But the death of this Qin army soldier was not worthless. The Qin army patrol soldiers who had just walked not far away obviously noticed the abnormality and approached here quickly holding torches.

The ear-piercing sound of chirping resounded instantly throughout the entire Yiqu City.

At the foot of the mountain a few miles away, Yi Qusheng jumped up: "There are all of them, get on the horse!"

Two thousand Yiqu cavalry mounted their horses one after another, and galloped towards Yiqu City not far away in the darkness.

In the darkness at the city gate, the shouts of the Yiqu people also became louder.

"Uwe, take your men to stop these patrols! Others follow me and open the city gate!"

An extremely fierce battle immediately started at the city gate.

Although the Yiqu people were brave and numerous, they were still at a disadvantage after a moment of fierce fighting against the soldiers of the Qin army who were better equipped and better at fighting collectively.

Not only that, but after the sirens sounded, more soldiers of the Qin Army began to support them, and the pressure on the Yiqu people began to become greater.

After a fierce battle, the Yiqu people began to lose, and retreated step by step.

At this time, the extremely heavy city gate was finally slowly opened with the efforts of the remaining Yiqu people.

Amidst the sound of rolling horseshoes, Yi Qusheng swarmed in with [-] nominal Quren cavalry under his command.

"Swish, swish!" Arrows shot out from the hands of the Yiqu people's cavalry.

After a shower of arrows, the Qin soldiers who had just gained the upper hand were defeated and fled in all directions.

Yiqu people are like a torrent, beginning to sweep the entire city.

The battle was over in just one night.

When the sun rose in the morning, Yiqu Sheng, with bloodshot eyes, stood outside the hall of the city guard's mansion in Yiqu City, and lifted the head of the county guard of the Northern District of Qin State high in his hand.

"From today onwards, Yiqu Kingdom will be officially restored!"

In front of Yiqu Sheng, thousands of Yiqu people who looked like evil wolves raised their sharp knives and howled wildly and excitedly.

Chapter 533 Zhao Kingdom Envoy (Third Change)

Linzi city.

Maybe it was because of the war last year, or maybe it was because the winter had just passed, although there were still people coming and going in Linzi City, the prosperity had obviously declined a lot.

After the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Gaotang last year, many voices of complaints about Qi Wangjian and Housheng began to appear in Linzi City, and the voice of this criticism did not subside because of the passage of time, but gradually increased up.

Due to some inexplicable reasons, the people of Qi are very sensitive to defeat.

If you lose, you might as well not fight.

In the palace city of Linzi, Hou Sheng said to King Qi worriedly: "Your Majesty, disloyal speeches have been increasing in various parts of the country recently. This is not a good thing."

Qi Wangjian let out a hey, his face was a little ugly, but he didn't say much.

What can he say?Is it necessary for King Qi to announce to the people that the last war against Zhao was not the original intention of King Qi, but started under the Queen Mother's force?

Not to mention whether the people of Qi State will believe it, but Tian's Qi State has always admired "loyalty and filial piety", which means being loyal to the emperor externally and filial piety internally.

If Qi Wangjian blamed his own mother, wouldn't that be tantamount to admitting that he was unfilial?

So depression is depression, and Qi Wangjian is also very clear in his heart that he is really a scapegoat.

"Houqing, in your opinion, what should we do now?"

Hou Sheng's gaze was flickering, and it took a while before he opened his mouth to say: "My lord, the envoy of Zhao Guo, Su Dai, has arrived in Linzi, and I hope to see you."

"What?" Qi Wangjian stared at him for a long time before he said, "What is the Zhao people planning?"

Hou Sheng shook his head, implying that he didn't know, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, you might as well meet this Zhao Guo envoy."

Qi Wangjian frowned, looked at Hou Sheng up and down, and said slowly: "Houqing, did you accept the generous gift from the Zhao people again?"

Qi Wangjian is actually very clear about the fact that Hou Sheng often accepts gifts from other countries.

But Qi Wangjian was even more aware that most of the gifts and money received by Housheng were not hidden, but offered in various ways so that Qi Wangjian could enjoy them.
