Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Kuang Liang ignored Hou Sheng directly.

Hou Sheng didn't think it was disobedient, turned his head and continued to smile at Zhou Fen in front of him.

Zhou Fen rummaged through the shelves in the room for a while, and picked up a bamboo slip.

Hou Sheng smiled and said, "Meng Zi and Duke Teng are on the second quarter."

Zhou Fen gestured towards Kuang Liang.

Kuang Liang understood and kicked Hou Sheng against the wall.

Hou Sheng grinned and sat back, he was much more honest.

Zhou Fen read it carefully, and translated it according to the secret.

After a while, Zhou Fen, who finally translated the secret, changed his expression.

Hou Sheng smiled and was about to speak when he suddenly noticed that Kuang Liang behind him seemed to be moving.

Hou Sheng shut his mouth very alertly.

Zhou Fen let out a long breath, and his eyes fell on Hou Sheng again: "I now understand why you sent this secret order from Yin Shu."

Hou Sheng smiled and said: "Exactly, if Zhou Qing disobeys orders, then the future guilt will definitely be inevitable. And Zhou Qing, don't forget that your family members are still in Linzi City!"

Zhou Fen is a very patriotic and loyal person. Because of this, Zhou Fen did not secretly transport his sons out of the city like others did, but left the whole family in Linzi. .

This brings up a problem, if he doesn't obey the king's order, the whole family in Linzi city will probably be directly snapped off by Qi Wangjian

Zhou Fen took a deep breath, and said to Kuang Liang, "General, behead the traitor Hou Sheng, and hang his head on the top of the city for public display."

Kuang Liang responded, and left without saying a word.

For the first time, Hou Sheng's face showed a flustered expression, and he shouted: "Zhou Qing, the governor asked me to tell you that if you can hand over Gaowan City, he can allow you to return to Linzi with an army. middle!"

Chapter 937 Persuading Surrender (Third Change)

After hearing Hou Sheng's words, Zhou Fen's expression changed slightly, and after thinking for a while, he still spoke before Hou Sheng was dragged out of the room.

"Wait, bring him back first."

So Hou Sheng returned to his position.

Zhou Fen stared at Hou Sheng, and said in a deep voice, "Then Li Mu is really so kind, allowing me to bring the army back to Linzi?"

Although rationality tells Zhou Fen that the possibility is very small, Zhou Fen still decides to give it a try.

On the one hand, it is to obey the order of King Qi, and on the other hand, under the current situation that Linzi is surrounded, the strategic significance of Gaowan City has disappeared. It is also a good choice to gather troops to defend Linzi.

So Zhou Fen was willing to save his life temporarily for this possibility.

Hou Sheng straightened his body, glanced at the rope on his body, and said with a smile: "Being tied up for so long, my hands are a little numb, and I don't really want to talk."

Zhou Fen snorted and said, "General Kuang Liang, untie him."

After regaining his physical freedom, Hou Sheng moved his limbs and sighed in satisfaction: "I think that since my birth, Hou Sheng has never been tied up for such a long time, and the air of freedom is so sweet indeed. .”

Zhou Fen interrupted Hou Sheng's chatter: "Get to the point."

Hou Sheng glanced at Zhou Fen with some unsatisfactory intentions, and then said: "The governor said that as long as you hand over Gaowan City, you can take 10 people from here to Linzi, and he will order people to let go of the east side of the city and let you iso"

"It's just nonsense!" Zhou Fen jumped up and shouted, "10 people? Li Mu really dares to think about it!"

You must know that there are 20 defenders in the current Gaowan City. If you count the residents in the city, the number will be even greater, but now Li Mu is only willing to let Zhou Fen take away 10 people. Li Mu's 10 people were easily pocketed by Li Mu?

Where in the world is there such a good thing?

Zhou Fen snorted heavily, and said to Kuang Liang: "General Kuang Liang, please tell me this!"

"Bang!" Hou Sheng slapped the table heavily, and shouted at Zhou Fen, "Zhou Fen, don't you still understand the current situation? You should know what the consequences of going out of the city to fight Zhao Jun in the field, if you really If you go out of the city, the 20 people will not even be able to return to Linzi! Now that 2 people can go back, what are you not satisfied with? Or is it that you plan to defy King Qi at all? Are you planning to not return to the division to rescue Linzi?"

Zhou Fen gave Hou Sheng a cold look, and said: "Whether I will return to the teacher to rescue Linzi, don't worry about it, anyway, you won't see that day anyway."

Hou Sheng sneered and said, "Hmph, Zhou Fen, Zhou Fen, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You just think that I'm just a surrendered general, but you are a great loyal minister who can live and die with the country. Right? I will tell you today that your thinking like this is completely wrong!"

"I don't believe that you haven't evaluated the current battle situation. With your current situation, defeat will happen sooner or later. It will be easy for you to die at that time, but have you ever thought about it? Will the 20 Qi soldiers and civilians in this city die because of your decision?"

Zhou Fen remained silent, but his slightly trembling fingers had obviously betrayed his heart.

Hou Sheng continued: "You think it's not good for me to surrender, right? But I surrendered. At least the [-] soldiers who followed me didn't have to face death. At least I saved their lives. The elders in their families Wives and children can also wait for their safe return. Safe return, Zhou Qing! Do you know how many men in this era have never returned since they stepped out of the house to join the army?"

Zhou Fen finally couldn't bear it any longer, and retorted coldly: "This war was not initiated by Daqi and I, it was Zhao Guoren who chose to take the lead in attacking, and we have no choice!"

"No." Hou Sheng shook his head, and said very seriously: "You have a choice, of course you have a choice. As long as the Zhao Kingdom unifies the world, there will be no more conquests among the people of Huaxia, and the world will be peaceful." There will be no more wars!"

"Peace, Zhou Qing! How many years has there been no peace in Qi? Haven't you seen the tragic situation in those families whose parents died? Behind these 20 soldiers are 20 big soldiers Qi's family! Compared with these living lives and the continuation of these families, who will be the ruler of this land, is it really that important?"

Hou Sheng took a deep breath, and said very seriously to Zhou Fen in front of him: "So, for the sake of the people of Daqi and the future of Daqi, please Zhou Qing surrender! Don't do any more unnecessary things. Resist, don't make unnecessary sacrifices anymore, it's meaningless!"

There was silence in the room.

After a while, Zhou Fen's facial muscles suddenly trembled slightly, and he slowly revealed a smile.

For some reason, when Hou Sheng saw Zhou Fen's smile, a chill suddenly surged in his heart.

"Not bad, not bad. Hou Qing, Hou Qing, I guess Li Mu taught you what you said? If someone else said it, maybe I was really moved by you, but"

The corners of Zhou Fen's mouth curled up very obviously, and he looked at Hou Sheng in front of him with an extremely mocking expression: "Hou Sheng, you are a vegetarian who has never cared about the people of Daqi, and only knows how to cater to the king. , what qualifications do you have to speak so boastfully in front of me, and speak so brazenly for the sake of the people of Daqi?"

Hou Sheng's expression changed.

Zhou Fen stood up suddenly and grabbed Hou Sheng by the collar. He was taller than Hou Sheng, so he lifted Hou Sheng up immediately.

"Houqing, what I want to tell you is that your acting skills are really bad."

Hou Sheng's face became even more ugly, and a strange light suddenly flashed from his eyes.

"Zhou Qing, I'm not talking about you. If you can turn your back on the dark and turn to the bright now, then you should be fine."

Zhou Fen slapped Hou Sheng's face hard, interrupting Hou Sheng's words.

Two teeth mixed with blood flew out of his mouth with Hou Sheng's scream. Hou Sheng covered his face and staggered back, hitting the wall before stopping.

Zhou Fen looked at Hou Sheng with a sneer on his face, and said coldly: "Enough Hou Sheng, you traitor and scum who has no king, no father, no family and no country, I won't listen to your nonsense anymore. Today is your day of death!"

Hou Sheng raised his head, laughed miserably, opened his bloody mouth and said, "You really don't want to surrender?"

Zhou Fen laughed loudly and said: "I will live and die with Gao Wancheng and Daqi! You"
