I was a gentleman in ancient times

Lost!They lost!

Looking at the defeated soldiers on the battlefield, Li Mian only felt a deep sense of helplessness in his heart.Zhong Lihui was indeed invincible, just like the rumors, and it was only after he really confronted this person that he realized how terrifying his opponent was.

The army led by Zhong Lihui was obviously all recruits and had no combat experience, but even so, he still had no chance of winning.

When they met for the first time, the former army was ambushed. It can be said that he was unprepared and was caught carelessly.The way of using soldiers is nothing more than Qi and Zheng complementing each other.He, Zhong Lihui, took a strange path and used his troops treacherously, so he acted righteously, which was amazing.He believes that if this continues, not to mention victory, at least invincible.

But now, Li Mian smiled wryly, he was still defeated after all.

A general came over, not knowing whether it was his own blood or the enemy's, "General, let's run away quickly, the enemy... the enemy is coming soon."

The halberd in Li Mian's hand stopped, and he waved his hand dejectedly, signaling him to escape if he could.

The general froze, "General? You won't escape with us?"

escape?Where else could he escape?To be able to fight against General Zhongli, his lifelong wish has been fulfilled, and he has long been satisfied.

Now that he is defeated, Zou Guo may not be able to protect himself.Even if King Zou is still there, can he escape back to the capital?It's impossible even to think about it.At this moment, he had no intention of escaping. The general died in a hundred battles, and the battlefield was his destination. He died without regret.

"You guys run away, this general can still resist the pursuers for you. People are only dead, and I can't bring my brothers back alive. I have no face to face everyone." Li Mian raised his eyes and looked at the front. For the soldiers who couldn't go back, he felt guilty.

Logically speaking, the general has long been used to seeing life and death on the battlefield, and he should have known that such a day would come.But when he really saw it, his former colleagues could no longer talk and laugh, and became a cold corpse, which he still couldn't let go of.Let him do one last thing for the rest of his comrades.

The general was stunned, never expecting to hear such words from the general.

He knelt down and kowtowed to the general, stood up and stood beside Li Mian, "Since the general won't leave, the general won't leave either."

Li Mian frowned, "You...Fu Cong, I don't need you here, if you don't leave, it will be too late."

Fu Cong's eyes lit up, "I didn't expect the general to remember the last general's name." He scratched his head, "The last general followed the general here and there, and the general has never treated his brothers badly. Since the general wants to In the last battle of the war, the last general will accompany you to the end. Needless to say, life and death are determined by wealth and honor. Although I, Fu Cong, am not destined to be rich and powerful, I can always save the day and escape from death. Whether it's life or death, the last general will accept his fate."

Li Mian looked into his bright eyes, patted his shoulder, couldn't say anything, could only shake his head with a smile.

The Qin army in front of him has already surrounded him, and he, the general, is naturally the primary target.The other soldiers who fled in all directions are irrelevant.

Killing one is enough money, killing two earns one, Li Mian clenched the halberd in his hand.Then fight to the end!

However, Qin Jun just surrounded them and did not come forward.Fu Cong was surprised, "General, what are they planning to do? Don't they want to catch us alive?"

Li Mian's face darkened, hum!Don't think about it, it's a big deal to wipe your neck, and it's over.Thinking of this, he touched the long sword on his waist, which happened to be still there.

Hearing the commotion in the Qin army, someone shouted that General Zhongli was coming.

Li Min, who was about to draw his sword, paused for a moment. He wanted to meet Zhong Lihui, the ever-victorious general who had made him lose so badly in his war career, and even cost him his life.

Not long after, a young general in a red robe and bright armor came over.Li Mian was surprised, this young man is the well-known Zhong Lihui?Thinking of this, he asked involuntarily.

Zhong Lihui kept a cold face and didn't answer directly, but the conceit and pride on his face already showed the answer to the question.

"I, Li Mian, have been generals for many years, and I rarely meet opponents on the battlefield. It is indeed not wrong to lose to you today." Li Mian sighed.

A young genius who was born out of nowhere can win the battle with less and win the battle by himself.In the past, he thought conceitedly that if he encountered that battle, he might be as famous as Zhong Lihui.But now they are really facing each other, and the two will decide whether to compete.

"You're not bad. This general also put in a lot of effort to get into the current battle situation. There are very few things in this world that I can spend my time thinking about." Zhong Lihui said.

I don't know whether Li Mian is happy or ashamed that he can get such an evaluation from Zhong Lihui, "Now I am convinced, but I have one last request, and I ask General Zhongli to agree."

Zhong Lihui nodded, "Let's hear it?"

Li Mian looked at Fu Cong beside him and the defeated soldiers, and sighed, "I would like to exchange my life for the soldiers to survive, and I hope General Zhongli can make it happen."

"That's it?" Zhong Lihui was puzzled.He hadn't thought of exterminating them all, and Li Mian's request was not a request at all.

Looking at Li Mian's pale face, Zhong Lihui couldn't help but nodded in his heart as he was still thinking about his soldiers at this moment.

Seeing Zhong Lihui nodding, Li Mian finally felt relieved, as a great general, he would keep his promises, so naturally he would not lie to him.He drew out his sword, and Fu Cong, who had been watching him, had already guessed his plan.Grabbing him, "General, you can't do stupid things."

Zhong Lihui took a few steps forward, "Wait a minute, if you make a request, this general can agree. If you don't want to be rude, this general also has a request, but General Li has to agree."

Li Mian was taken aback, not understanding what Zhong Lihui could ask of him.

Zhong Lihui said: "Why did General Li lose his life for Zou Guojun and his ministers? Now that Qin Guojun is wise and his ministers are good, the emperor is thirsty for talents and recruits talents. Why doesn't the general abandon his secrets and turn to the bright?"

Fu Cong also persuaded: "Yes, the courtiers of the Zou State have always pushed the general away. Now that the Zou State can no longer be saved, why not the general find another way out?"

"It's a matter of being loyal to the emperor. Although I, Li Mian, am not talented, I don't want people in the world to scold me."

"There is an old saying: a good bird chooses a tree to live in, and a good minister chooses a master to serve. Hanging on a tree can only be ignorance. General Li should know that I, Zhong Lihui, was also the general of the Lou Kingdom, and I fought for the Lou Kingdom. , but the king is worried about me, and traps me in the king's capital without leading troops. If such a king continues to serve him, do you think I will still stand here? This is all the general said, and General Li weighs it himself Bar."

Zhong Lihui also admired Li Mian, so he spent all his time persuading him.

Although these words are also reasonable, but facing the fallen soldiers, Li Mian still can't get over this hurdle in his heart.He closed his eyes, made up his mind to go, raised his hand and put the sword on his neck.

Zhong Lihui's face darkened and he winked.Just when Li Mian was about to exert his strength, the back of his neck hurt, his eyes darkened, and he fell to the ground.

It was none other than Fu Cong who made the attack.

Zhong Lihui shook his head and ordered him to be carried down.Anyway, he is also a general, how can he be so dismissive?Tsk tsk tsk, my lover is really pedantic.He should be sent to Wei Su to be nurtured and educated to see if he is still so stupid.

If Wei Suqian hadn't told Wan Wan to say that he needed manpower and that he must treat the captives well, he really wouldn't want to do so.

Only then did Fu Cong come forward and saluted Zhong Lihui, "This subordinate has met the great general."

Zhong Lihui helped him up. This time, thanks to Fu Cong's insiders who delivered various news, the battle was easily won. "You have done a good job. This general will report the truth and ask for credit for you."

Fu Cong was overjoyed, and quickly thanked Zhong Lihui. After getting up, he couldn't help worrying, "General, what should I do with General Li? Some of the people in Zou Guojun's army are indeed worthless. But General Li is a good person, and his subordinates want to replace Li General begging for mercy, I don't know..."

Zhong Lihui interrupted him, "It's impossible to let him go. The court is short of people. It's best if you can persuade him to serve Qin. It just so happens that you have been under his command for many years and know him better. The matter of persuasion I will leave it to you to do it, and after the task is completed, this general will add another level of merit for you."

It's better for Zhong Lihui to be impatient with dealing with pedantic people, and asking him to persuade Li Mian is more difficult than killing him.Just now he tried his best to persuade him for a long period of time. He was afraid that if he tried to persuade him, if he didn't persuade him to surrender, he would piss him off to death instead.

The candidate in front of him is just right, which saves him a lot of trouble.

Fu Cong was stunned for a moment, the matter had already been decided by Zhong Lihui.He raised his forehead, no, he just knocked someone out just now, and he was asked to persuade him to surrender. It would be good if General Li didn't beat him to death.

"Hey! General, subordinate, I'm afraid it's not suitable for this subordinate, it's better, it's better to send another person..."

Zhong Lihui had already led the people away, and he didn't know if he heard what he said, so he just waved to him.

Now that the game was over, Fu Cong shivered at the thought of facing Li Mian.If General Li knew that he was the main culprit for his defeat because of his internal cooperation with the outside world, he would probably be overwhelmed and walk around.

From Zhong Lihui's point of view, these things don't need to be taken to heart at all. King Zou is already close at hand, and the demise of Zou State is just around the corner.He also hoped that he could take the first step and capture the king's capital, so that he could welcome King Qin to take over.

Zou's army has been defeated, how can Zou's monarchs and ministers rely on them?There has been no news for a long time from the envoys sent to seek peace, so it is hard to count on it without saying much.

There are also envoys sent to Bei State, in order to ask Bei State to act as an intermediary and send people to come to make peace.However, when the envoys came back, they did not bring any good news. Bei Guojun said that this was because Zou State attacked Qin State first, and Qin State's counterattack was justified.Since Zou Guo couldn't resist now, he should give up as much as he should.It is fine to resolve these grievances by themselves, and they are just outsiders from the Bei Kingdom, so it is not easy to judge justice.The implication is that you can solve the problems you have caused yourself, and if it is the worst, you can just give up a few more cities and Qin.

It's just that it's good to be able to give up the city in exchange for a breath of respite. The problem is that the state of Qin never agreed to their peace request.

The state of Zou is now on the verge of collapse, and the king of Qin is not a fool. How could such a good opportunity to overthrow the country be missed?

The capital of King Zou has become a mess, and many powerful and powerful families have already begun to prepare for the way out.
