I was a gentleman in ancient times

Li Mian's hands trembled slightly, and his heart was even more excited. Zhong Lihui was called the God of War by the world.He has never been defeated since the war. No matter whether the world exaggerates such a person, no general would want to meet him.

But now, the opportunity came, and his opponent was Zhong Lihui.If you can fight heartily with it, your life will not be in vain.

Thinking of this, Li Mian felt a sense of pride in his heart, rekindling his fighting spirit.

Zhong Lihui looked at the map in front of him, and they would be able to invade King Zou's capital in a short time.Although Zou's army has arrived, there will be a fierce battle next.But as we all know, what Zhong Lihui fears the most is war.

If it's really unimpeded and goes straight to King Zou's capital, how can this be a challenge for him?Zou Guo's army came just in time.I heard that the leader of the army is General Zou Guo Li Mian. He still has some abilities. Unfortunately, he has never been able to fight against him. Now he can try his hand. I haven't used the new tactics I learned yet. .

Meeting an opponent is the happiest thing for every general.Being able to improve themselves in every battle is the real meaning of fighting for the generals.

Wei Su has already returned to King Qin's capital, and the daily battle reports will be sent over quickly by a dedicated person.He compiled them into books, staring at the map of Zou State on the wall, while calculating the direction of the army, and how long it would take to capture the next city.

The state of Zou was really exhausted. Facing the advance of the state of Qin, the king and ministers of the state of Zou resorted to tricks one after another.Not to mention splitting up the troops on the spot, they also forcibly recruited the people into the army.

Zou Guoben was unstable because of natural disasters, so many families were ruined, and the sky was even more angry and resentful.

The state of Zou has lost the hearts of the people. Didn't the state of Qin just take advantage of it?Taking advantage of this opportunity to capture people's hearts is something Wei Su is familiar with.Qin State is in need of manpower, as long as the propaganda is in place, it will not be a problem for these people to fight back.

For this reason, Wei Su also sent a special letter to ask Qin Zhan to pay attention to this issue, and to send special personnel to instigate this matter, it is best to hand it over to Xie Zhuo's people.Because the people he cultivated were quite a few who inspired people in various vassal states to come to Qin, so it can be said that they are very good at it.

Now Wei Su only hoped that the army of Qin State could take Zou State within the expected time.So far, it seems that everything is going according to plan and going smoothly.

……

It was already dusk when Du Cheng sat behind the battlements.He breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately his life was still alive.

Today's battle is finally over, you can take a breath.It has been three days since he was arrested by the officials to guard the city. He is dizzy, his hand is used to holding a hoe, and he doesn't even know how to hold a weapon.He still had a broken knife in his hand, and he knew that many people like him had no weapons, and could only hold sticks and stones as weapons, which could give them some psychological comfort.

Outside the city is the army of the Qin State. Looking out from the top of the city wall, there are rolling camps and banners flying above.That is a well-trained army, let alone a confrontation, just looking at it makes you feel cold all over your body.

"Cuckoo..." My stomach began to growl.Only then did he remember that he only drank a bowl of soup and porridge last night, and he still hasn't had a grain of rice at this time today.

He tightened his belt and tried not to make his stomach feel too uncomfortable. Food should be delivered soon.Even if it is a clear soup with little water, it is good to fill the stomach.

Someone slowly moved over and sat down next to Du Cheng.

Du Cheng glanced at him. He recognized him. It was Wang Zhuzi from the same village.

He didn't have the energy to speak now, he just wanted to close his eyes and rest.But Wang Zhuzi nudged him with his elbow and smiled innocently, "Brother Cheng, it's great that you're still alive."

Du Cheng glanced at him and said nothing, Wang Zhuzi continued: "Do you know that the idiot from the next village is gone. I was unlucky, I got an arrow in the chest, and was carried away just like that."

Du Cheng felt a little heavy. Many people died in front of them in the past two days.Those who know each other and those who don’t, war, how can there be people who are not dead?

"Do you think it will be our turn tomorrow?" Wang Zhuzi said with a choked voice.

"Bah, bah, bah! What are you talking about? I'm going home, so stay away from me." Du Cheng said with disgust.

"I won't cry? However, I just heard a gossip. It is said that the Qin State is a teacher of justice. They will treat the captives kindly, and they will also feed the captives." Wang Zhuzi quietly approached Du Chengdao. "You said we were accidentally captured by the Qin army, will we be able to eat enough?"

Du Cheng was taken aback, "Who did you hear that from?"

"It's been rumored in private. I heard that the prisoners captured by the Qin army on the battlefield before were not only treated for injuries, but also raised for nothing. When the war is over, these people will be released back home. Those who should farm Farming, what should be in business is still in business.”

"Really? Such a good thing?" Du Cheng frowned.

Wang Zhuzi chuckled, "Why did I lie to you? If it weren't for being arrested by force, who would want to fight? I miss my family and my wife. I want to go back."

Du Cheng's face was serious, "Don't say this everywhere, don't worry that the general above will hear it, and your life will be lost."

"I know, I know." Wang Zhuzi nodded, "I just told you. Rather than waiting to die of starvation, it's better to go there. In fact, there is no need to be so careful. People in the army are fluctuating now. Almost no one is ignorant of this. And everyone has the same thoughts, by the way, do you have any plans?"

Asked by him, Du Cheng curled up and pressed his hungry stomach.Who wouldn't want to if they really had enough to eat? "What are your plans? We can only take one step at a time." Du Cheng said.

"I want to go home, I don't want to die." Wang Zhuzi said, "I told you because we are all a village. I won't risk my life, and I will find a way tomorrow."

Du Cheng's heart moved, and he grabbed his sleeve, "Do you have a solution?"

Wang Zhuzi looked around, and said in a low voice, "I have made an agreement with many people. If I can escape, I will flee. If I can't, I will go to the Qin army camp."

Du Cheng shook his head, "You can't escape, and it's not like you didn't miss the deserters you dealt with before."

Of course Wang Zhuzi knew that their general personally captured the deserters and killed them in front of them.Warn them that if they dare to run away, this is what will happen.

"Those generals don't regard us as human beings, so I still tend to go to the Qin army, maybe I can really save my life."

"I'll think about it, I'll think about it." Du Cheng was also moved, Zhu Zi was right.Rather than waiting to die like this, it is better to go to the Qin army, at least to save one life.

Wang Zhuzi didn't bother, Brother Cheng said if you want to think about it, then think about it, didn't he come to tell Du Cheng after he had figured everything out?

At this moment, there was a whistling sound from outside the city wall, and arrow feathers shot up.

The two were preparing to fight, but it was a false alarm. They just shot a wave, and the people under the city evacuated.The arrow feathers that were shot up did not have arrowheads, but were tied with cloth with writing on them.

For those who could read, they took it down and read it again. Basically, it was to make them surrender. The Qin army would not kill innocent people indiscriminately, as long as those who surrendered were given preferential treatment.

There was a lot of discussion among the people, and they became restless for a while.

A general came over, grabbed the cloth strip and took a look, he was furious immediately.Immediately beheaded several heads with his own hands, "Those who deceive people's hearts, behead them!"

For a moment, the soldiers were in an uproar, and the soldiers who were already unstable, now felt even more resentful.

"The people above heard it clearly, just open the city gate and surrender. We have cooked minced meat and millet here, and we can eat it when everyone comes out." Qin Jun under the city shouted loudly.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the smoke from cooking in the camp of the Qin army was rising, and the millet boiled in more than a dozen big stews was already wafting up with a strong fragrance, making everyone's already empty stomach even more uncomfortable.

The food and grass in Zou Guojun's army could only be eaten quickly, but suddenly a lot of people were recruited, and the food must not be enough.The generals can only hold tight to the soldiers under their own hands. In their hearts, these newcomers will die sooner or later.What does it matter if you eat or not?Just use some broken rice and millet to boil some soup and hang your life.

These common people had been fighting and killing all day, and they could only watch helplessly as the soldiers ate well. They are still hungry.Even if this is the case, these generals either beat or scolded them, and if they disobeyed even a little bit, they just took lives at will.

Wang Zhuzi's eyes turned green, and he was trembling with anger.He had an urge to pounce on him and tear this person to pieces.However, his hand was firmly held down by Du Cheng next to him.

The general looked around, "A bunch of trash, what? Can't you rebel? I want to see who dares to die." Seeing everyone shrinking their heads, he snorted coldly, "In this case, you will be full after smelling it. , there is no need to eat tonight."

"Damn it! I turned my back on you today, even if I die, I will hold you back." One of them shouted loudly and threw him down from behind.He snatched the knife from him, and with a "stab", he raised the knife and fell, beheading him.

This turn of events shocked everyone present.Why, how did things develop like this, they have been honest and responsible people all their lives, even if they are bullied, they can only swallow their anger.But now that the general is killed, I'm afraid that none of the people present will be able to escape.

The man stood up, wiped the blood on his face, and looked around, "I killed him, and no one who was present at this incident should try to run away. If I don't want to change my surname or sit down, I will kill him immediately." Go out and open the city gate. It is better to submit to the Qin army than starve to death and let mermaid go. Whether you want to wait here to die or go outside the city to eat and drink, it is up to you to choose. If you are willing to go with me, pick up Weapons kill me."

Wang Zhuzi shook off Du Cheng's hand, and shouted: "Anyway, we're all dead, so it's better to gain a way out."

In response to this call, more people raised their weapons one after another, and went out of the city, they would be able to have enough food to eat, and they would be able to survive if they went out of the city.

There were shouts of killing from the city gate, and after a while, the city gate opened wide, and someone rushed out, "We are willing to submit to the Qin army, and we only want to have a full meal."

The generals of the Qin army were overjoyed. They didn't expect it to be so easy. They only needed to cook some food to lure them, and they won the city without spending a single soldier. The king really had a clever plan.

Without any suspense, the Qin army attacked the city and captured the city with lightning speed.Zou's army was defeated, and no one in the west could resist the advance of Qin's army.
