I tried my best to help Zulong, and finally got my wife

"Old man, I'm sorry for my ancestors..."

thump!

The old ancestor of the Qu family knelt in front of the ancestral hall, kowtowing non-stop, crying like a child in his old age.

The corners of Jing Ke's mouth twitched, feeling a little embarrassed in his heart, why did he turn bad, and started to cheat others like Master Hou?

It's a crime, it's really a crime, but the situation forced it, if it was broken by those people, the members of the Qu clan would definitely be killed by those guys.

If Qu's family is really exterminated, it will bring a bad reputation to the Qin State and the King of Qin, and it will add unnecessary difficulties to the great cause of unification in the future.

During his time with Master Hou, he also learned a lot. He had to look at things from a long-term perspective and not just focus on the present.

Fei Yan looked at Qu's old man, and glared at Jing Ke and Gao Jianli fiercely, saying that you two old men actually deceived an old man?

However, this is none of her business.

She just wanted to use this opportunity to stop Qin Guo and the Yin Yang family from chasing her down. She was already tired of the rivers and lakes, and even more tired of this secular world, so she wanted to find a place where no one was around and finish her life quickly. half a lifetime.

After a long time, the old ancestor Qu Shi stood up, wiped away his tears, and said in a trance, "Surrender, let someone open the city gate and give them some property!"

Then, he looked at Jing Ke and said, "Three heroes, the fate of the Qu clan is in the hands of the three of you."

Jing Ke was overjoyed, and quickly bowed and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Qu, I, Jing Ke, still have some responsibility."

Then, he took Qu Lao to the city tower, but at the moment the tower was in a mess, and some master swordsmen had already climbed up the city wall and started fighting with the members of the Qu clan.

Jing Ke hurriedly came to the tower, yelling again and again, telling them to stop, Qu Shi has already surrendered, and what a fart to kill, if you continue to kill, you will lose both people and money, a bunch of idiots.

After finally yelling at the swordsmen on the tower, the members of the Qu family stopped when they saw the ancestor coming, and came towards their ancestor. The gate has not been broken, and the ancestor surrendered?

Xiao He under the city, seeing this scene, secretly scolded Jing Ke for pulling rats and meddling in his own business.

His original intention was to consume some people and then kill some of Qu's people. For the court, it was the best of both worlds.

Now, the money is going to be distributed to these people in the world, it's abominable!

"withdraw troops!"

Xiao He snorted coldly, and Liu Ji immediately came to Xiao He's side and said, "Old Xiao, you will be attacked soon, why do you listen to that Jing Ke?"

Xiao He glanced at Liu Ji, and said coldly: "Jing Ke belongs to Lord Hou, so do you want to fight against him?"

Liu Ji: "..."

A moment later, after the gate opened, Jing Ke led the old patriarch out of the gate.

Jing Ke came to Xiao He and bowed: "General, the Qu clan has surrendered, but they have a condition, they must keep the Qu clan members, we can't mess around after entering the city..."

Then, he said: "General Xiao, for the sake of the overall situation and for the reputation of Lord Hou, we must control and absolutely not mess around."

After dismounting his horse, Xiao He smiled and said, "Hero Jing is really powerful. Xiao originally thought that Hero Jing Ke was unparalleled in swordsmanship, but he didn't expect that his verbal skill is also very good. I admire him."

"It's all taught by Master Hou."

Xiao He: "..."

Damn it, this great contribution has disappeared, and Jing Ke actually took advantage of it.

Hey!

If I had known earlier, I would not have brought this guy here.

Liu Ji thought about how to divide the loot after entering the city, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao, I will bring people into the city first and control the city to avoid accidents."

"Liu Laosan, get the hell out of here, who doesn't know your gaudy intestines?"

"Cao Shen, you enter the city and lead people to control the city!"

"Others, go to the city immediately and garrison the city. I'm afraid Qu's reinforcements are about to arrive. We may still have a tough battle to fight."

Then, he ordered: "After entering the city, you can't mess around. Those who mess up will be killed without mercy."

Some people in the rivers and lakes immediately became agitated, you Xiao He, the city was captured, and you turned your face and refused to recognize anyone. What did you agree to go to the city to grab things?

Jing Ke immediately said: "Anyone who dares to kill people or rob subjects' property will be punished as treason."

Everyone didn't dare to speak immediately. At this moment, they also knew that they had been tricked by ghosts.

Damn Liu Ji, that guy lied to them, and they will settle it in the future.

"Everyone, don't worry, those who have made contributions this time will be rewarded by the court, and I, Jing Ke, guarantee it with my life."

But everyone disagrees, damn it, none of these people are loyal and responsible.

All a bunch of liars!

Chapter 395

After everyone entered the city, Xiao He immediately ordered soldiers to surround the granaries in the county town and open them to release grain.

All civilians in the city can come to receive food, but the premise is that each family must send a middle-aged man to guard the tower, and then divide the land according to the merits of guarding the city this time.

Then, another order was promulgated that nobility and big businessmen should have no more than ten servants in their families. Those who exceed them must be deprived of their personal freedom and given corresponding rewards to make them free civilians.

Finally, Xiao He's army surrounded Qu's mansion.

Let Qu's pay, and bring him a gold per person, even if it is to appease their restless hearts, because he, Xiao He, you can't guarantee that these desperadoes will do something that is unreasonable.

The old patriarch of the Qu clan hurriedly asked for five thousand gold and handed it to Xiao He.

Buying life with money is probably the best way. The Qu family only has money to save lives now, and keeping this money is probably the root of disaster.

If not done well, their Qu family will still exterminate the clan.

Xiao He immediately ordered people to distribute the money to the surviving Jianghu people and those veterans, and Xiao He collected the remaining money. As for what he planned to do, only God knows.

In Linjiang City, everything is on track.

Just wait for Qu's reinforcements to come, and then pull the old patriarch to the tower to make the reinforcements submit.

……

Linjiang City went north along the Xiangjiang River, and Dongting Lake had a radius of [-] miles, all of which were liberated at this moment.

There are no nobles and officials of the Chu state here, let alone the Chu army. They were all killed by slaves and swordsmen in the rivers and lakes.

Commoners and slaves shared the food, land and houses of nobles and officials, and the swordsmen took the money of nobles, enjoying the best of both worlds.

At this moment, these swordsmen are waiting for the state of Qin to break through the capital city of Ying, and let the soldiers of Qin accept the cities they conquered, and let these cities and the subjects of the state of Chu belong to the big family of Qin, so that the swordsmen can also ask for a reward from the state of Qin What the hell, it's good that Daqin hangs out.

Further north, all the way to Huarong Road, is the border where the armies of Qin and Chu fought.

Prior to this, Qin Wang Yingzheng personally issued an order to conscript [-] troops from Sichuan, Shu and Han to serve as reserves.

Because of Yingdu, Yingdu city has been unable to attack for a long time, and the loss is quite serious.

However, Wang Jian on the northern line was in a state of overwhelming momentum. Ying Zheng was afraid that the two sides would not be able to attack Shouchun at the same time, which would cause a deviation in the overall strategy, so he sent the [-] troops to the Yingdu battlefield.

Yesterday, these 10 people finally arrived outside the city of Yingdu under the leadership of General Qin Meng.

Wang Ben's face was gloomy, Yingdu City is a bastard, and this is also the fault of Qin State. Since Wu'an Jun Baiqi captured Yingdu, he rebuilt Yingdu City, which greatly increased the difficulty of breaking through.

Da Sima Jingyang hid in the bastard shell, even if the Qin army used the big crossbow and the kerosene pot, they couldn't capture it.

It was originally intended to attack with water, but Xianyang did not allow it.

It is said that it is a last resort, and water attack cannot be used, because what Xianyang wants is a complete Ying capital city, with hundreds of thousands of people in Ying capital city, not a flooded ruin.

That way the gain outweighs the loss, it is better not to attack.

Wang Ben could only waste his time, using human lives to fill, 10 horses, now there are only [-] combat power left, and [-] elite soldiers died outside the city of Yingdu.

However, he also consumed 12 horses from Chu State.

"General Wang, I have ordered an army of [-] troops to support you under the command of the King, please give me your instructions!"

Although Yingmeng is a son of the royal family and has a lot of military achievements, he is relatively low-key and recognizes his mediocrity. Generally speaking, he is a smart person.

Wang Ben's face had hardly ever smiled, and it was still stern at the moment, because when he smiled, the scars on his face looked hideous and ugly.

He said lightly: "Okay, with this [-] troops joining, the capital city of Ying will be destroyed tomorrow."

"Let the soldiers eat and drink enough immediately, encircle the capital city of Ying tonight, and attack from all sides at the same time tomorrow morning."

The soldiers led the way.

Wang Ben and Qin Meng came to the general's camp.

Wang Ben knew that the king must have the latest instructions, and asked Qin Meng to convey them to him.

"General Qin, what instructions does your majesty have?"

Sure enough, Qin Meng took out the will and said: "Your Majesty asked you to keep Da Sima Jingyang in the capital city of Ying... This is the decree written by Your Majesty himself."

Then, Qin Meng said: "Your Majesty also said that once you have news about Lord Hou, report it to him immediately. If the Chu State really catches Lord Hou, you must ensure the safety of Lord Hou no matter what."

Wang Ben nodded, but Da Sima Jingyang had been spreading rumors that Zhang He had been caught by them, but so far, they had never seen Zhang He at all, not even Zhang He's token.

Da Sima Jingyang had nothing to prove, he could only explain that Zhang He was caught by them, it was just a deceitful excuse.

Da Sima Jingyang just wanted to hold Wang Ben back and fight for a chance.

But he, Wang Ben, is not a fool, how could he be a fool?

Wang Ben nodded, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, once I get the exact news from Lord Hou, I will definitely focus on saving Lord Hou."

Qin Mang looked around, Wang Ben told everyone to retreat, Qin Mang said in a low voice: "Your Majesty said that you should minimize the casualties of the army, and encourage the people from all schools and rivers and lakes to fight against the Chu people..."

The corners of Wang Ben's mouth twitched, and then he nodded. This remark was very agreeable to him, and he didn't want his soldiers to die in battle either!

As for the life and death of scholars and Jianghu swordsmen, what does Wang Ben care about?

Wang Ben nodded, and then the two discussed again.

After breaking the city, how to pursue the Chu army and how to capture Yunmengze for eight hundred miles.

at the same time.

In the city of Yingdu, Da Sima Jingyang got two bad news at the same time in one day.

Wang Jian attacked all the way on the northern line of Shouchun, and Xiang Yan had already retreated to Dangling and Juyang.

But just the day before, there was another battle between the two armies. Xiang Yan was defeated, losing 15 troops and losing Dangling City.

After that, Xiang Yan had no choice but to withdraw from Juyang City and defend the south of Juyang City. Shouchun was in danger.

south line.

The remnants of Baiyue crossed the Yangtze River, Prime Minister Zhaoran fought against the remnants of Baiyue, unexpectedly the other party had a master behind him to command Zhaoran to defeat Songyang.

Of the 4 troops in Songyang, more than 1 were killed by the remnants of Baiyue, and more than 1 were captured. They retreated to Shucheng with thousands of remnants.

The King of Chu was furious. The 30 newly recruited troops from the country had not arrived at the northern front, but the northern front was losing ground.

So the king of Chu made three orders in a row. Even if Xiang Yan died in the north, he would have to wait for the 30 troops to arrive at the northern front.

Then he ordered his chief Sima Jingyang and General Xinwu to abandon Jingchu land and return to aid Shouchun.

After Sima Jingyang received the edict, he sighed three times. Yingdu, the scar of Chu, is going to become the southern capital of Qin again?

However, he still wanted to hold on for another day or two, waiting for Xiang Rong's three armies to arrive behind him, and he was going to fight Wang Ben to the death.

Kill Wang Ben's living soldiers, even if they return to aid Shouchun, the pressure on the western front will be greatly reduced.

Chapter 396 Zhang He opened his pockets, waiting for Xiang Rong and Jingyang's army

But before he came back to his senses, the second news that made him sad and indignant came again. (Because Wang Ben only had [-] troops left and could not encircle his capital, Jingyang's scouts could find out the news.)

The scouts reported that there were about 10 horses who had arrived a hundred miles outside the city of Yingdu, and arrived in the city of Yingdu in a few days.

There is no doubt that it is the Qin army's reinforcements.

"It's only a day or two away. God, do you really want to destroy my 800-year-old state of Chu?"

"The sky is not fair, it's not fair..."

Da Sima Jingyang received two pieces of news that were worst for Chu State one day. He was in a bad mood and almost collapsed. He pointed at the sky and started cursing. Wet.

After a long time, his excitement subsided, and he said weakly to the guard beside him, "Let General Xin Wu come in."

After Xin Wu came in, his face was quite ugly. He had fought five times with Wang Ben, but they all ended in failure.

Moreover, he was hit by an arrow on the battlefield, and at this moment he couldn't move a single arm.
