Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

A sharp knife pierced Zhou Fen's chest to his back, stopping all his next words abruptly.

Chapter 938 Dedicating the City (Fourth Change)

Zhou Fen's eyes widened, and he looked at Kuang Liang in disbelief.

Kuang Liang held the knife in his right hand, and the sharp long knife had completely sunk into Zhou Fen's heart. Even if Tai Yishen was alive, he would be powerless to recover.

"Ru..." Zhou Fen only had time to say such a word, and his vitality was completely cut off.

Kuang Liang sighed and said softly, "Zhou Qing, I'm sorry."

Kuang Liang slowly put Zhou Fen's body down.

Kuang Liang pulled out his own knife from Zhou Fen's heart, and then turned his head to see Hou Sheng.

Hou Sheng sat in the corner, watched all this quietly, and looked at Kuang Liang with a very calm face.

Kuang Liang shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, it's not a good idea for you to venture into the city like this."

Hou Sheng grinned, and a few traces of ferocity could not help appearing on his face: "Tian Jian kills my eldest son, I can't wait to see the Qi State be destroyed immediately, even if I take a little risk, what's the harm?"

Kuang Liang stretched out his hand and supported Hou Sheng to sit up.

Hou Sheng casually wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and said to Kuang Liang in a voice that was still leaking: "Is everything arranged?"

Kuang Liang nodded, and said: "When I knew that your lord was entering the city, I had already summoned my men. If nothing goes wrong, the whole situation should be under control by now."

Although the door was closed, the two could still hear the sound of swords clashing and shouts of killing coming from outside the door. It was obvious that the Qi army camp outside was not peaceful.

Hou Sheng listened carefully, and said to Kuang Liang: "Don't worry, I have already made an agreement with the governor, this time you can break through Gaowan City, you have made great contributions, and the credit that should be given will not be missed. .”

Kuang Liang's face brightened, and he hurriedly said, "That's why I would like to thank you, Your Majesty."

The two smiled at each other.

What Zhou Fen, who died tragically in the room, didn't know was that Hou Sheng had already planned to join Zhao Guo before Zhou Fen took office.

And Kuang Liang is one of Hou Sheng's confidantes, and he also participated in the top-secret meeting held above Hou Sheng's mansion.

After Hou Sheng lost power, the two met in secret and made a decisive decision to let Kuang Liang put on a posture of breaking with Hou Sheng in order to stay in the Qi army and help Hou Sheng gain military power.

Hou Sheng, who has been prime minister for many years, is very clear that only by holding the army in his hands can he have a chance to make a comeback in the future.

Facts have proved that Housheng succeeded.

Kuang Liang gained Zhou Fen's trust and became the deputy general of the Qi army, and he has been doing this job conscientiously. He completely dispelled Zhou Fen's suspicion with his repeated minor injuries.

During this period of time, Zhou Fen handed over most of the specific military affairs in Gaowan City to Kuang Liang, which gave Kuang Liang the opportunity to secretly deploy his own personnel in various key positions.

Until today, Hou Sheng's entry into the city finally gave Kuang Liang an opportunity, and Kuang Liang chose to launch without any hesitation.

There was a rush of footsteps, and then a voice came from outside the door: "General, General!"

Hou Sheng looked at Kuang Liang, and Kuang Liang smiled at Hou Sheng: "It's my man."

Hou Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

The door was opened, and Hou Sheng and Kuang Liang walked out one after the other.

Outside the door was a courtyard, which had obviously experienced a fierce battle. Dozens of Qi soldiers fell to the ground in disorder, most of them were Zhou Fen's personal guards.

Kuang Liang asked a Qi general in front of him, "Did everything succeed?"

General Qi laughed and said, "Most of them were successful, only the arsenal was found, but please rest assured, General, I have sent more people to go there, and it is estimated that good news will come back soon."

Kuang Liang also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and said, "Okay, now you can follow me to the city."

After a while, everyone came to the top of the city.

Generals or officers of Qi State gathered here one after another. They were all from Kuangliang's side, and they all held one or several heads in their hands. Needless to say, they all knew that those heads were from Zhou Fen's side. of.

About half an hour later, the last general of the Qi State rushed over and reported the news he most wanted to hear to Kuang Liang: "General, the armory has been captured, and all those who tried to resist have been punished! "

Hearing this, Kuang Liang could not help but let out a long breath.

At this point, all important areas in the entire Gaowan City are already under Kuang Liang's control.

Although there may still be some diehard Zhou Fen loyalists in some places, but it is completely irrelevant to the overall situation.

Kuang Liang glanced at Hou Sheng beside him, somewhat hesitant.

Hou Sheng saw Kuang Liang's entanglement, and said in a low voice: "General Kuang Liang, he exchanged a few wives, concubines and sons in Linzi City for the century-old wealth of the Kuang clan. I think General Kuang Liang should know how to choose."

These words obviously moved Kuang Liang. Kuang Liang gritted his teeth and finally gave the order: "Come on, open the city gate and raise the white flag!"

The city gate was opened, the flag of Qi State was lowered slowly, and a white flag fluttered high above Gaowan City.

In the Zhao Jun camp outside the city, Li Mu, who was quietly watching all this, smiled, and said to Zhao Kuo beside him, "General Zhao Kuo must have known by now why I ordered the siege to be suspended today, right?" ?”

Standing beside Li Mu, Zhao Kuo said with an admiring expression, "How does the governor know that this victory will definitely succeed?"

"Definitely?" Li Mu laughed and said, "Where is there any definite thing in this world? Just judging from Hu Yiwei's information, Hou Sheng has always been greedy for money and power, but a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. Such a person Being able to take the risk to enter Gaowan City proves that he has great confidence in what he will do next. Since Hou Sheng can gamble with his own life on such a certainty, then I will give Hou Sheng a day What does time matter? Alright, pass on the order and send 1 people into the city first to take over the order in the city."

Seeing Zhao Jun's soldiers marching into Gaowan City in groups, Li Mu couldn't help but let out a long breath.

In fact, Li Mu knew very well that even if Gaowan City did not surrender now, he would be able to take down the city in one to two months at most.

But the current result is undoubtedly better for Li Mu. After all, if Gaowan City is captured one day earlier, the soldiers of the Zhao Army will have fewer casualties.

Under the bright sunlight, Li Mu turned his head to look at the eastern horizon, thinking silently in his heart: "Next, we only need to take down Linzi."

Chapter 939 Confusion in Linzi City (first update)

Although it was heavily surrounded, the news that Gaowan City had surrendered quickly spread throughout Linzi City.

The reason for this situation is not because of how powerful the Qi people's intelligence channels are, but because Zhao Jun's public opinion offensive is too fierce.

With only a few thousand sheets of blank paper and the cooperation of the trebuchet, the news that the Zhao army who besieged Linzi successfully made Gaowan City surrender was known to all men, women, old and young in Linzi City within a day.

The spread of rumors has always been the fastest.

"Hou victorious, Kuang Liang!!!" An incomparable roar came from the main hall of Linzi Palace City, which sounded extremely sharp and ear-piercing.

Qi Wangjian's eyes were red, and his face was so ferocious that it was almost completely distorted: "These two traitors, traitors! How dare they, how dare they do this!!"

That's Gaowan City, that's Qi's entire 20 army!

But now, because of Hou Sheng and Kuang Liang, the two damn traitors, the 20 army built by King Qi has all been in vain!
