Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Don't look at the current post of Housheng as a doctor in Jimo, but you have to consider that Jimo is one of the five capitals of Qi, and now only Linzi and Jimo are still in the hands of Qi, so Housheng is a doctor in Jimo The power is very great.

Therefore, as soon as Housheng entered the drama city, he unceremoniously emptied the drama city order, and all key positions were replaced by people from Housheng. Anyone who did not listen to Housheng's call would either be thrown into prison Among them, they were either simply beheaded.

In addition, there was already the influence of the Hou clan here, so after a few days passed, the entire drama city could be said to be completely controlled by Hou Sheng.

It wasn't just the city of Drama City that Hou Sheng cleaned. In fact, the aspect that Hou Sheng was most worried about these days was actually the control of the army under his command.

What is the biggest in this age?Of course, the fist is the biggest, and the army is the most powerful fist.

So in these four days, many Qi generals and ranger leaders who disagreed with Housheng, or who were unwilling to join Housheng, suffered.

Either they were directly turned into big soldiers, or they were directly arrested by Hou Sheng, punished or even beheaded in the name of not obeying military laws, which even caused several large-scale riots .

But the final result was that Hou Sheng successfully controlled the situation and completely brought the entire city, including the army, under his control.

After doing all this, Ju Xin also came.

Of course, Ju Xin didn't come by himself, but led an army of [-] Zhao Guo, mighty and mighty.

Standing on the top of the city, Hou Sheng watched the astonishingly well-organized Zhao army appearing on the horizon like a tide, silently recalling the information he had received in the past few days.

Ju Xin broke through dozens of large and small cities in the Qi State along the way. Except for the two larger cities of Gaomi and Chunyu, which resisted for three or two days, all the other cities in the Qi State fell on the wind.

This further exacerbated the psychological panic of the Qi people, and even Linzi now had a secret idea that since they couldn't beat the Zhao people, it was better to surrender directly.

Most of those who have this kind of thinking come from some unsatisfactory officials in the middle and high levels of Qi State.

After all, judging from the situation of Zhao Guo's destruction of the three kingdoms of Wei, Yan and South Korea, those local officials who surrendered to Zhao Guo were actually reused.

Although it is said that most of the local officials are officials from Zhao State, and the officials who surrendered can only serve as deputies, but don't forget that the local officials have a very strong control over the locality, so even the deputies can live a good life that day. not bad.

Anyway, I heard that King Zhao is also a very famous Mingjun. Compared with our king of Qi, I don’t know where to go. It’s not unacceptable to let the king of Zhao rule us.

Driven by these caring people, this public opinion in Linzi has been quietly spreading for a long time, attracting many supporters, and even faintly forming a trend.

Even if Qi Wangjian made repeated orders to crack down on it, and put many guys who openly promoted such remarks into prison and executed, there was no way to stop it from continuing to spread.

Thinking of this, Hou Sheng couldn't help muttering something.

"What the heart wants, what the heart wants!"

Half an hour later, Zhao Guo's army had stopped several miles away from Jucheng and formed an array.

After a moment of contemplation, Hou Sheng suddenly called a confidant, and said to the confidant, "Go, ask General Ju Xin to come down to the city, and tell him that I have something to say to him!"

Chapter 9 I want to surrender Zhao, what do you think? (Second more)

"Hou Sheng asked me to go to the city to talk to him?"

After hearing this sentence, Ju Xin couldn't help laughing, and said to the terrified Qi Guo messenger in front of him: "This is not acceptable, what if I go under the city wall, but what if he tricks me later? How about this, go and tell him, if you have anything to say, let him take twenty personal guards out of the city, and I will meet him two miles outside the city."

Hou Sheng only hesitated for a short time after hearing this reward, and then made up his mind: "Come on, open the city gate!"

Hou Sheng's decision made the confidants around him startled, and they all dissuaded him: "General, this is absolutely impossible."

Everyone's persuasion did not change Hou Sheng's mind. After a while, the gate of Ju City opened slowly, and Hou Sheng led twenty personal guards out slowly.

Ju Xin squinted his eyes and looked at the scene in front of him, and suddenly remembered that he had received the urgent secret report from Handan a few days ago, and a smile appeared on his old face: "If you are interested, come and order 20 people at once." I will go to meet for a while and win!"

A moment later, under the watchful eyes of countless pairs of eyes above and below the city, Hou Sheng and Ju Xin, the two generals of the enemy country, met.

Unexpectedly, when the distance between the two sides was about fifty steps away, Hou Sheng stopped the followers and stepped forward alone.

Ju Xin was slightly taken aback, and then did the same thing.

Two people and two horses meet before the battle.

Ju Xin's face was very calm. Although his hair was covered with white hair, the old general thought that his body was not comparable to that of Hou Sheng, a drunk and dreamy guy.

Hou Sheng seemed to be getting more nervous. He cleared his throat and said to Ju Xin, "General Ju Xin, do you know that King Zhao actually made a promise to me?"

Hou Sheng was very worried that Ju Xin said "no" out of his mouth, and then he pulled out a knife and rushed forward

Fortunately, all that Hou Sheng was worried about did not happen. Ju Xin nodded very indifferently, took out a piece of silk paper sealed with wax paint, and said to Hou Sheng: "General Hou Sheng, the order to reward you Right here, as long as you can dedicate the city and surrender, then from today onwards, you will be the Lord Donglai of Zhao State!"

After a while, Hou Sheng and Ju Xin separated, and led their guards back to the city.

After returning to the top of the city, Hou Sheng immediately summoned all his confidants, that is, all the generals of the Qi State in the city, and announced a news to them.

"Everyone, I want to dedicate the city to surrender Zhao, what do you think?"

As soon as Hou Sheng said these words, his subordinates were immediately in a commotion.

Some people were extremely dissatisfied, some were shocked, some were expressionless, and some were extremely dazed.

"Why?" Someone finally asked this question.

Hou Sheng stared at the confidant who asked the question, and said slowly: "Can't you see it yet? The demise of Qi State is already doomed."

The confidant is obviously quite unwilling: "But, the Yan Kingdom back then"

Hou Sheng interrupted the words of his confidant: "The Yan State in those days did not pacify Lin Hulou, defeated the Xiongnu Yuezhi like the Zhao State today, and did not destroy the three great powers of Wei, Yan, and Han like the Zhao State.

Now the land of the Central Plains is in the hands of Zhao Guo. Even with the strength of Qin and Chu, they can barely survive under the oppression of Zhao Guo.

Let me tell you, how can Daqi win under the current situation? "

The confidant blushed, but still persisted: "But, as long as you persevere, there may be hope!"

"There is no hope." Hou Sheng sighed for a long time, and said, "You know that all the high officials of the Qi State either secretly colluded with the people of the Zhao State, or they took advantage of the fact that the Zhao army had not yet arrived in Linzi. It's time to quietly send your core disciples to Donglai for refuge. Let me tell you, under such circumstances, what kind of hope can such a state of Qi have?"

Confidant silent.

War requires leadership, but when the leadership of a country is completely disinterested in fighting and even begins to think of a way out, the battle has not yet been fought, and the result is already doomed.

Hou Sheng looked around at the confidantes present with different faces, took out from his bosom the decree that Ju Xin gave to him just now, and said slowly: "I will not hide it from you, King Zhao has granted me Donglai The title of king, if you are willing to surrender to Zhao with me, then the king of Zhao must have his own rewards. If you want to continue to follow the king of Qi, you can leave now before the Zhao army enters the city, and I will never stop you. Alright, that’s all for today, you guys can make your own choice as to where to go.”

After finishing these words, Hou Sheng closed his mouth, waiting for everyone's choice.

A confidant suddenly knelt on the ground, bowed three times to Hou Sheng, then got up and left.

Several more cronies have made the same choice.

Hou Sheng looked at the departing cronies and sighed inwardly.

These people are the ones he has relied on and trusted the most.

Although these people are not the highest officials or the most conspicuous titles under his command, they are capable generals of Hou Sheng's subordinates, and they are also the people Hou Sheng will think of immediately when encountering difficult things.
