Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Although King Chu of Qin was an indecisive person, when he made a decision, the King of Qin became very decisive again.

On the night when the decision was made, Qin Wangchu took his family and [-] Qin troops and fled Xianyang City overnight, heading south.

Naturally, the movement of these tens of thousands of people cannot be concealed from others. When Qin Wangchu left Xianyang, the city of Xianyang behind him was already crying loudly.

Although they had tried their best to escape as quickly as possible, the movement of Qin Wangchu and his party still did not hide from Zhao Jun's scouts.

On the afternoon of the second day after they evacuated from Xianyang, Zhao Jun's scouts had discovered the traces of King Qin Chu's army.

On the third day, Zhao Jun's cavalry began to appear behind Qin Jun one after another. Due to the lack of cavalry of Qin Jun and the panic when retreating, Qin Jun did not launch any counterattack against Zhao Jun, but accelerated. Steps to escape.

On the morning of the fourth day, a cavalry force of 2 people under the leadership of Yi Qusheng caught up.

King Chu of Qin took [-] soldiers of the Qin army as abandoned sons to stay in place to delay the pursuit of the Zhao army's cavalry, and the main force continued to retreat southward.

After an extremely fierce battle, at dusk that day, Yiqu Sheng finally wiped out the [-] very heroic Qin troops.

On the sixth day, Yiqu defeated three of Qin's troops in a row, and was about to catch up with King Qin and Chu.

On the seventh day, just two hours before Yi Qusheng arrived, Qin Wangchu retreated into Baoxie Road with [-] remnants of defeated generals.

Since the Taniguchi of Baoxie Road is really easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the canyon road here is not suitable for large cavalry operations at all, so after several tentative attacks, Yiqu Sheng had to accept Qin Wang Chu's attack in disappointment. The fact that the retreat was successful, decided to give up the pursuit.

Just when Yi Qusheng and Qin Wang Chu were performing a good show of chasing and escaping, the army of Zhao Guo led by Li Mu had also arrived at Xianyang City and surrounded the city.

Looking at the Xianyang City in front of him, Old General Pang Nuan couldn't help expressing his emotion: "I think I came to this place when I traveled with my teacher to other countries. Although Xianyang used to be located in the west, but this place is one of a kind. To be able to frighten the world with one movement is the power of an unworldly overlord. Unexpectedly, Xianyang has fallen to such a state."

Li Mu didn't have as much thought as Pang Nuan. Facing the city in front of him, Li Mu just asked the scout captain in front of him: "Since King Qin and Chu have fled, who will be the main general in the city?"

The captain of the scout replied: "Back to the governor, according to what the Qin people we captured said, the current city should be Wu Chengjun Lu Buwei as the main general."

"Wu Chengjun, Lu Buwei?" The corners of Li Mu's mouth twitched slightly, he looked up at the towering tower of Xianyang City, and then said to Pang Nuan beside him with certainty: "Pang Qing, it will be today to break Xianyang!" .”

"Huh?" Pang Nuan couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words.

While Li Mu was looking at the top of Xianyang City, Lu Buwei at the top of Xianyang City was also quietly looking at the army of Zhao Guo under the city.

Along with Lu Buwei, there are several absolute confidants of Lu Buwei.

If you stand in Lu Buwei's position and look around, you will find that there are only about a thousand defenders standing sparsely on the huge Xianyang East City Wall, which is nearly ten miles long.

It is worth mentioning that these defenders are not actually the Qin army in the true sense, but the servants and slaves in Lu Buwei's personal mansion, which belong to Lu Buwei's private armed forces.

As for the defenders who were supposed to be here?

Lu Buwei asked very calmly: "How many people are there in the city?"

A confidant said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, since the king fled, most of the soldiers and civilians in the city have escaped, and there are probably less than [-] people still in the city."

As the king of a country, King Qin Chu's escape was a fatal blow to the army and civilians of Qin State. Many nobles of Qin State followed Qin King Chu to retreat westward, and the remaining civilians also fled here in panic, wanting to avoid the invasion of war. .

Lu Buwei continued to ask: "Have the [-] defenders given to me by the king almost escaped?"

The confidant replied: "Go back to your lord, I just went to see it, and there is no one left in the barracks right now."

Listening to all this, Lu Buwei didn't feel any fluctuations in his heart, and even wanted to laugh a little.

Looking at Zhao Jun outside the city, Lu Buwei didn't have any fear, but was a little excited.

It's been ten years.

How many decades can there be in life?

I think that because of Zhao Dan's words back then, Lu Buwei had to come to Qin State alone, and fought for Zhao Dan's great cause of unification for a full ten years.

During these ten years, as a spy, Lu Buwei spent almost every day in fear.

On many nights, before Lu Buwei closed his eyes, he even felt that he might wake up the next day and find that his mansion was surrounded by a large group of troops led by Hou, and then he was ransacked and executed.

Especially in the past two years, no matter whether it is Hou or Cai Ze, their secret investigations into the destruction of Xianyang city have put a lot of psychological pressure on Lu Buwei, and sometimes even directly make Lu Buwei sleepless at night, all night long. Insomnia.

Well, it's finally coming to an end.

Today is the time to end this damn thing!

Lu Buwei remembered one thing very clearly.

The reason why Lu Buwei was willing to come to Qin State back then was not only because Zhao Dan had discovered the plan to train Qin Wang Chu and had to follow, but also a more important reason was Zhao Dan's promise.

Zhao Dan had already said at the time that as long as Lu Buwei returned after his achievements, then Lu Buwei's position as Prime Minister of Zhao State would belong to Lu Buwei!

Thinking of this, Lu Buwei's heart beat again, looking forward to it, but also a little apprehensive.

After all, Lu Buwei is also very clear that Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng has been in control of Zhao Guoxiang since Zhao Dan ascended the throne, and has assisted Zhao Dan for more than ten years. He is a veteran and highly respected existence of Zhao Guo.

Will King Zhao really follow his promise and give Lu Buwei the position of Xiangbang?

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?" The calls of his confidants brought Lu Buwei back to reality.

I saw this confidant said: "Your Majesty, the Zhao army has arrived at the city, and it is time to come."

Lu Buwei nodded, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Since stepping into the territory of Qin State with King Qin Chu ten years ago, Lu Buwei has never shown such a smile like today.

A relieved smile, a relieved smile.

At this moment, Xiangbang of the Qin Kingdom, the highest garrison officer of Xianyang City coughed lightly, and then said in a very firm tone: "If that's the case, then open the city gate."

Chapter 975 Breaking the City (First Update)

Open the city gate.

This order did not cause any waves.

All the people present were Lu Buwei's confidantes, so they were all informed of the news in advance.

It's not that no one objected to this, otherwise Lu Buwei had cultivated a lot of cronies in the past ten years, and these few people would not be the only ones standing here with him.

The integrity of the old Qin people is still stronger after all.

The confidantes who stayed behind also saw clearly that since the situation of Qin State was over, it was time to fall into Zhao State's arms.

Although this is actually an act of surrendering to the enemy, the values ​​​​of the scholars in the Warring States Period were originally different from those of the unified dynasty in later generations.

At this time, scholars pay more attention not to their own motherland, but to which country they can show their value and be reused by the king.

Now that the state of Qin is about to collapse, the state of Zhao is the only choice.
