Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

After listening to King Qi's words, Hou Sheng couldn't help showing a wry smile, and said to King Qi bravely, "It's like this, Your Majesty has a piece of news that you want to tell your Majesty, and please let these dancers and musicians first All down."

King Qi was stunned for a moment, then waved his hands a little unhappy, signaling all the dancers and musicians present to leave.

"What happened?

Can we say it now? "

King Qi said to Hou Sheng.

Hou Sheng glanced at the important officials of the Qi State around him, gritted his teeth, and said, "That's right, Your Majesty.

The situation of the battle in Changguo City has come out. Our army in Changguo City has suffered heavy losses, and Grand Sima Kuangliang has committed suicide. "

After King Qi heard Hou Sheng's report, he was stunned.

After several seconds, King Qi couldn't help crying.

"how can that be?"

King Qi panicked and even knocked over the wine glass in his hand.

The scent of fine wine wafted in the air, but at this time, none of the monarchs and ministers of the Qi State was in the mood to take this matter into consideration.

Hou Sheng bit the bullet and said: "Although Li Mu's troops suffered some losses, they still captured Changguo City after all.

Now Li Mu's troops have begun to march towards Linzi, and they will arrive at the city of Linzi in a few days, please make plans early! "

King Qi remained motionless as if struck by lightning, as if he had instantly turned into a clay statue.

Looking at this scene, Hou Sheng and the others felt unknowingly anxious.

Hou Sheng coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

King Qi remained motionless.

After a while, King Qi said slowly, "So, how many days before Li Mu can surround Linzi?"

Although Hou Sheng didn't want to answer, he had to answer this question: "About three or four days."

Hou Sheng didn't dare to tell the truth at this time. If he had to speak directly for two days, King Qi would immediately wake up and know the tricks of Hou Sheng and these guys.

Sure enough, after hearing Hou Sheng's answer, King Qi's mood did not seem to continue to deteriorate, but continued to say lightly: "So it is."

The hall fell into deathly silence again.

The wine was fragrant and the food was delicious, but no one had an appetite, and no one dared to speak at this time.

King Qi spoke again: "So, what should we do next?"

King Qi was asking all the ministers, but the ministers beside Hou Sheng were all very thieves and kept silent.

In this way, Hou Sheng, as the prime minister of Qi, had to answer.

Hou Sheng became more and more anxious, so I don't know what to do!In desperation, Hou Sheng could only say: "In the current situation, I don't have any good ideas, so I can only ask the king to make a decision."

As soon as Hou Sheng's voice fell, King Qi suddenly moved.

King Qi suddenly picked up a wine glass in front of him and threw it towards Hou Sheng.

Hou Sheng was taken aback, and dodged subconsciously, and then the wine glass directly hit an old minister behind Hou Sheng who had no time to dodge.

The old minister let out a scream, and his forehead was bleeding from the blow.

King Qi roared: "I don't know this, I don't know that, then you come and tell the widow, what's the use of the widow asking you ministers to come?"

King Qi finally started to lose his temper. Faced with King Qi's anger, Hou Sheng and others plopped and knelt on the ground.

"The ministers are guilty, please calm down the king!"

"Your Majesty calm down!"

"Quiet your anger?"

King Qi sneered and said, "It's good to appease the anger, Kuang Liang is dead, Da Qi's army is all finished, you want to appease the widow?

Come and tell the widow how to appease the widow! "

Hou Sheng was so frightened that he could only kowtow again and again, not daring to say another word.

King Qi's face was extremely ferocious, he looked at Hou Sheng and the others and said with a sneer, "It's good for you, when the Zhao people come, as long as you surrender, you can still have a chance to be Zhao's lackeys.

But what about widows?

As the king of Qi, it is impossible for the people of Zhao to allow me to surrender. At that time, I will die!Hmph, after all, you are just a bunch of unfamiliar wolves! "

King Qi's mind has obviously been completely overwhelmed by anger, and he has been sloppy when he speaks, and he directly speaks such heart-breaking words to Hou Sheng and others.

After listening to Hou Sheng, the whole person suddenly fell into an ice cave.

According to King Qi's character, if he continues like this, he might start killing people!Hou Sheng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty misunderstood, the ministers absolutely have no two hearts, and will definitely fight to the end for Qi and Your Majesty!"

By Hou Sheng's side, several important officials of the Qi State also knew that something was wrong, and swore all kinds of oaths, expressing their loyalty one after another.

The King of Qi stared at the several important officials of the Qi State in front of him, and the murderous intent in his eyes gradually faded away.

For King Qi, if it was normal, he would definitely kill one or two of these guys to establish his prestige and warn other courtiers.

But the situation is different now. Kuangliang's army has been wiped out, and Li Mu's troops have already suppressed the border. If King Qi kills people again, it is very likely that these courtiers will be completely divided and surrender to Zhao.

King Qi took several deep breaths, finally suppressed the anger in his heart a little, and then said slowly: "Okay, what are you doing here?

Immediately get the widow out, recruit as many troops as possible, and organize the defense line!This time, the widow must stick to Linzi and let Li Mu know that Daqi is not so easily destroyed! "

When Hou Sheng heard the words, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

After a while, Hou Sheng and others walked out of the hall.

An important minister couldn't help but said: "Then why don't we tell the king about Zhao's shocking thunder?"

Although it is said that Qi's army was almost wiped out, some people must have escaped from such a large city.

Therefore, Hou Sheng and others have actually known the truth about the breach of Changguo City in the past few days, and also know that Zhao Guojun has a super weapon called "Shocking Thunder", which can break through the city.

After hearing the words, Hou Sheng glared at the important official who spoke: "Of course you can say it, and then?

If the king knows about Zhen Tianlei, what should he do next? What do you ask the king to do? "

The important minister was suddenly speechless.

Hou Sheng snorted, and said: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, and organize the army according to the king's order.

As for the shocking thunder, we will have to figure out a way at that time! "

As he spoke, another gleam of light flashed in Hou Sheng's eyes.

Obviously, Hou Sheng has some new ideas!

Chapter 1022 Meng Bin wins after persuading surrender

No matter how much Qi's monarchs and ministers don't want to see it, the fact can never be changed because of their personal wishes.

The fiasco of Changguo City was soon known by some high-level officials of the Qi State, and then these high-level officials of the Qi State took the whole family away without saying a word.

Some ministers of the state of Qi were more virtuous, so they let their family members run away first, while they stayed in Linzi city.

There are also those who are very moral and intend to live and die with Qi, but the whole family stays in Linzi City, but such ministers are rare.

Even Qi Guo Xiangbang Housheng quietly let his sons leave Linzi City and fled towards the east.

Due to the loss of Kuangliang's main force, Linzi had in fact become an isolated island, and Hou Sheng and others in Linzi didn't even know that Li Mu had divided into four groups.

Hou Sheng and these ministers retreated very quickly, but the other people in Linzi City were not fools either. Seeing the carloads of dignitaries and dignitaries running around, everyone knew that the situation was very bad.

As a result, the people of Qi State in Linzi City also began to flee!Two and a half days later, Zhao Kuo's [-] main force of Zhao State arrived outside Linzi City and completed the siege of Linzi City.

Li Mu stared at the Linzi city wall in front of him, showing an unpredictable smile.

As a supervising army, Han Fei stood beside Li Mu as a matter of course, so he couldn't help but ask, "Another explosion?"

Li Mu chuckled, and said very calmly: "If it's going to be bombed, it's actually not a problem.

But, after all, the Qi people have already been bombed by us once, and they may have some experience and precautions.

So, this time I'm going to take a different approach. "

Both Li Mu and Han Fei were surrounded by Li Mu's personal guards, and the other Zhao generals were far away from them, so it was impossible to hear what they were saying.

Han Fei was a little puzzled: "Then, what is that?"

Li Mu laughed loudly, and patted Han Fei on the shoulder: "If I tell you everything, wouldn't there be no surprises?

Just wait and see, you'll find out soon. "

Han Fei was speechless and couldn't help shrugging his shoulders.

Li Mu was very confident when he spoke, because his strategy had already been launched in advance.

In Linzi City, Hou Sheng returned to the mansion again sullenly.

Hou Sheng didn't plan to run away, because Hou Sheng felt that if he ran away, he might encounter accidents on the road. Instead, he might have a better ending if he stayed in Linzi City.

What ending?

To put it simply, Hou Sheng discovered that there is a rule that the high-level officials of Han, Wei, and Yan, as long as they surrendered to Zhao, none of them were executed, and even many people were able to become officials of Zhao again.

As the highest-level official of the Qi State, Hou Sheng really couldn't do it, so he just surrendered to the Zhao State.

Compared with the various risks that may be encountered on the road of escape, the road of surrender is the most stable.

Moreover, if it is said that the luck of the Qi State is overwhelming, and it can still repel the Zhao State against the sky under such circumstances, then Hou Sheng himself is in the city of Linzi, and this credit must be indispensable.

Therefore, Hou Sheng is now ready to do both. On the one hand, he will do his best to carry out various conscriptions and raise food for soldiers according to King Qi's orders. Waiting for once the city is broken, it will be dedicated to Zhao Guoren as a vote.

"Anyway, it is Li Mu who is surrendering now. Li Mu and Zhao Kuo are against each other. I don't need to look at the face of that kid Zhao Kuo in the future!"

Hou Sheng comforted himself like this.

If possible, Hou Sheng even hoped to find a way to contact Li Mu outside and let Li Mu know about Hou Sheng's preparations.

It's just that on the one hand, Hou Sheng really doesn't have any contacts in Zhao Guozhong, and on the other hand, Li Mu is also a rising upstart in Zhao Guozhong, and he has no contact with foreign countries. Therefore, Hou Sheng's goal of contacting Li Mu has not come in time. The implementation was forced to be terminated because Zhao Jun surrounded the city.

"I don't know if it can withstand Zhao Guoren's attack."

After getting off the carriage, Hou Sheng looked at the gloomy sky above his head, and sighed secretly in his heart.

If possible, Hou Sheng still hopes to continue to have fun with King Qi while being the Prime Minister of Qi until the end of time.

At this moment, Hou Sheng's confidant butler suddenly hurried up to greet him, and whispered a word next to Hou Sheng's ear.

After hearing this, Hou Sheng's face suddenly changed: "Have you verified your identity?"

The housekeeper nodded and said softly: "From the past records, there should be nothing wrong."

Hou Sheng's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he stood where he was.

Obviously, this sudden news had a great impact on Housheng.

After a while, Hou Sheng said, "Where's the person?"

The steward said: "It's arranged in the side hall."

Hou Sheng nodded slightly, and said seriously, "Go and bring him to my study right away."

Hou Sheng stopped eating and went directly to the study.

A moment later, under the leadership of the housekeeper, a scholar who looked quite refined walked into the study and saluted Hou Sheng: "Meng Bin has seen the prime minister."

Hou Sheng looked at Meng Bin and said coldly: "It's really you.

Kuangliang Da Sima trusted you the most during his lifetime, but after his death, you actually surrendered to the Zhao people!It seems that you really have no shame! "

Kuang Liang is one of Hou Sheng's political enemies. Meng Bin, as Kuang Liang's think tank, did not give advice to Kuang Liang to embarrass Hou Sheng. Of course, it is impossible for Hou Sheng not to remember Meng Bin.

Meng Bin smiled slightly, and said to Hou Sheng: "Housuke's words are wrong, my master had a last word before his death, asking me to join Zhao Guo after his death.

General Li Mu also agreed to my lord's request in public, and now I am also acting according to the instructions of General Li Mu, which is completely in line with the wishes of the old and new lords, so why should I have any shame? "

Hou Sheng's expression was still cold, and he said slowly: "It seems that the old man should hand you over to the Linzi government, and let them behead you for public display."

Meng Bin's smile became brighter and brighter: "Houxiang, it's already reached this time, why do you continue to deceive yourself here?

Let me just say it directly, if you are really so loyal to the Qi State, I am afraid that I will not even be able to see your face, so I have already been handed over to the Linzi government, right? "

Hou Sheng sneered and remained silent.

Meng Bin smiled and said: "President, the reason why I am here today is because of the order of our great general, I hope you can sacrifice the city of Linzi and surrender.
