Chaotic Qin

Bai Qi stood in the courtyard, listening to King Qin's loud order, expressionless.

No one else could see what he was thinking at all.

The soldiers in the guarding army were all loyal to King Qin.

Although it was very strange to think of who was in the courtyard, he still obeyed King Qin's order and demolished the courtyard wall not long after, exposing several houses that had not been repaired.

A steed of steed roamed leisurely in the courtyard.

It tilted its head to look at the soldiers who had torn down the wall, blinked its big clear eyes, showed a confused look, and snorted suddenly.

Bai Qi reached out and patted the war horse's forehead, combed its smooth mane with his fingers, his eyes became much gentler, and said softly, "Let's go out and play."

He said in his heart: Someone once told me that beheading and surrendering soldiers is against the peace of heaven, and it may affect the life expectancy. It seems that we have to settle it today.

Tears flowed from the war horse's eyes, rubbed Bai Qi's palms, and left the courtyard step by step with its hoofs turned.

King Qin saw that Bai Qi was talking to the war horse on his own, and he didn't pay attention to himself at all, and the anger in his heart was burning even more.

He waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "You all step back."

The soldiers immediately exited the "courtyard" that no longer existed in uniform.

King Qin walked behind Bai Qi in big strides.

He was about to shout angrily, but Bai Qi said first: "Am I victorious in every battle?"

King Qin didn't understand what he meant, but he pursed his lips and replied: "Yes."

"Did I conquer more than seventy cities for Daqin?" Bai Qi asked again.

King Qin's mouth twitched, but he still answered aggrievedly: "Yes."

Bai Qi finally turned around, raised his eyebrows, and finally said calmly: "Is the lord going to give Bai Qi the death penalty?"

Qin Wang shook his lips, slightly raised his head to look at Bai Qi's arrogant dead character.

Gritting his teeth, he suddenly knelt down on the ground and begged: "Before, I suspected that Lord Wu'an supported his troops and respected himself. It was because of the lack of tolerance. This battle is difficult and dangerous. Please, Lord Wu'an, fight!"

Bai Qi looked at King Qin who was shorter in front of him for the first time, and was completely stunned.

King Qin was already a white-headed old man at this time, and he was surrounded by intimidating power on weekdays, but when he was in his prime, Bai Qi was a young boy with a stunned head.

In Bai Qi's memory, he had never seen such...a worried King Qin.

He is already an old man.

Bai Qi sighed, and slowly knelt down in front of King Qin.

He finally realized that he had always thought that there was nothing wrong, but in fact he was wrong too much!

If he hadn't been so arrogant and directly rejected King Qin's request to lead the army at the beginning, but had spoken to King Qin many times in a humble manner, it would not have caused the two to clash repeatedly until the final separation of the monarch and his ministers.

Now the battlefield is unfavorable, and there is no turning back between the monarch and his ministers.

Bai Qi kowtowed face to face with the King of Qin, and finally said: "Please tell me the current situation of the battle, my lord."

The anger on King Qin's face dissipated immediately.

He jumped up with a flexible movement different from his age, grabbed Bai Qi's wrist and quickly got into the room, tapped some white water with his fingers, directly drew a map of the battlefield on the table, and described the current battle situation.

"Is there really no turning point?" King Qin looked at Bai Qi eagerly.

Bai Qi scanned the simple map, frowned, and said in doubt: "Based on what I know about Lord Xinling, he is a very kind and thoughtless person, and he will never stop doing what he said. We intercepted his transmission It has been more than a month since the news of Mr. Pingyuan, and the army of Wei State has not yet arrived. It can only be said that something happened on the way of Mr. Xinling. Don’t worry about reinforcements coming from Wei State. That’s the problem—the Lord of the Kingdom of Wei will help me delay the speed of the Chu army. Even if the Chu army arrives, they will be exhausted and their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. Wang Gan has done a good job.”

Speaking of this, Bai Qi looked at the water marks that were gradually disappearing on the table, and finally said: "Master Zi Chu's plan is very good, as long as Wang Gan continues to divide his troops, and station some troops in Fen City, and the other part to protect the grain road, then we will be able to do so." The battle must be won. Handan's momentum has been cut off."

After hearing Bai Qi's words, King Qin finally smiled when he talked about the nearly two-year Handan battle.

He said excitedly: "Then according to Lord Wu An's intention, the victory has been decided?"

Bai Qi seemed a little hesitant about this question.

But in the end, he still nodded, emphasizing: "The reason why Handan was able to persist for so long under such a fierce impact of our Daqin army is because of the power of hatred. Now the longer the time, the more people's hearts are scattered, and the city is in danger of being destroyed." It is close at hand. What we need to worry about is Mr. Pingyuan. He is a very famous young master. Before the final battle, he will definitely organize a fierce and desperate counterattack. After this battle, Handan will fall completely. But I I don't think Zhao Guoguo will perish, but with Lian Poping and Lord Yuan's abilities, although Handan cannot be saved, it is not difficult to escape with King Zhao."

King Qin couldn't help showing disappointment when he heard the words, but in the end he calmly accepted the reality.

Compared with Bai Qi's initial prediction, the result of this battle has been unexpected.

King Qin dared not ask for more.

The King of Qin said: "If the Zhao Kingdom surrenders, the widow will ask Mr. Pingyuan and his family to move to Xianyang as hostages. In addition to the six cities that the Zhao Kingdom promised but returned, they will have to pay another ten cities."

Speaking of this, Qin Wang and Bai Qi were speechless for a while.

King Qin paused for a moment, got up and knelt in front of Bai Qi, and said in a low voice with some shame: "Please go back to Xianyang with me, Mr. Wu An."

Bai Qi was silent for a while, finally helped the King of Qin, and knelt at his feet: "I am willing to do my best for the lord, and I only hope that the recent incident will not happen again."

Qin Wang nodded, and the two walked out of the small courtyard one after the other.

The war horse that should have gone far away suddenly let out a long cry, rushed out of the forest and went straight to Bai Qi's side.

It kept dawdling with Bai Qi, its clear eyes were full of surprises, and it stomped around Bai Qi, not allowing him to leave.

Bai Qi stroked the horse's mane soothingly, and put the caramel that he had been holding in his palm into the mouth of the horse, finally calming it down.

The last piece, Bai Qi stuffed it into his mouth casually, turned on his horse, and followed Qin Wang's carriage on his divine horse.

With Bai Qi's guarantee, King Qin sent the order to the front of the battle with peace of mind.

Wang Qian was more relieved after receiving the instruction from King Qin.

His thoughts coincided with Bai Qi's, but after a little hesitation, Wang Gan still sent some more people to take care of the food and grass.

Wang Gan sat calmly in the handsome tent, quietly waiting for the Warring States to appear.

"General, someone from Zhao State has escaped secretly!" The soldier summoned excitedly ran into the tent to inform Wang Gan of the surprising news.

"Okay!" A smile flashed on Wang Gan's face immediately, he stood up abruptly, and strode out of the handsome tent.

As he walked quickly to the front of the formation, he ordered: "Provide these people with delicious food and drink, don't let them get hurt, and don't let them run away."

"Yes." The soldiers who summoned the message immediately ran away to deliver the message after receiving Wang Qian's order.

Standing outside Handan City, Wang Gan watched more and more people pouring out, and the corner of his mouth curled up in a triumphant arc.

The crowd was getting bigger and bigger, and the guards at the gate of Handan finally stopped resisting, and looked numbly at the people who kept rushing towards the Qin camp.

They were sallow and emaciated, with tattered clothes dangling on their bodies, no different from dry bones.

Finally, all the soldiers put down their weapons with tears streaming down their faces.

Lord Pingyuan, who had removed all his fine clothes and crown, walked out of the gate of Handan step by step with a scroll of letters in his hand.

He looked sad, but he walked very steadily with every step.

Wang Gan straightened his clothes and stared at Mr. Pingyuan with burning eyes.

Lord Pingyuan put the scroll in Wang Gan's hands, and said in a low voice, "The lord is willing to cede five cities, please allow Zhao to surrender."

Wang Gan said with a smile: "Come here, send Lord Pingyuan to Xianyang."

Immediately, he said to Mr. Pingyuan: "Until Mr. Pingyuan and the king reach an agreement, I am afraid that the general will not be able to make the decision, and will have to wait for a while again."

Mr. Pingyuan pursed his lips, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Without saying a word, he boarded the carriage and was surrounded by ten Qin soldiers.

Before Mr. Pingyuan left, many people in long gowns ran out from the gate of Handan City. They rushed to the Qin army and knelt at the feet of Mr. Pingyuan, crying and howling together.

Mr. Pingyuan smiled: "Don't worry, if I can come back, the lord will entrust you all."

After finishing speaking, the carriage quickly drove towards Xianyang.

Wang Gan was very polite to Lord Pingyuan's counselor, and said calmly: "The army is strictly guarded, everyone please go back."

Lord Pingyuan's counselors glared at Wang Gan angrily, even if they were so hungry that their cheekbones were high and they had a strong character, they waved their sleeves away.

The state of Qin has already suffered from the state of Zhao's inconsistency.

Mr. Pingyuan said that King Zhao had surrendered, and that he planned to take out five other cities during the joint talks, but Wang Gan absolutely did not believe it.

Seeing Mr. Pingyuan embarking on the road to Xianyang, Wang Gan directly ordered: "The whole army is repaired, and it will attack Handan tomorrow, and then go to another ten cities!"

"Order!"

The surrender of Handan was like a terrible signal. No matter how fast the Lord of Zhao ran under the protection of Lian Po, as long as he left the city, he would quickly fall into Wang Gan's hands.

By the time Lord Pingyuan saw King Qin sending the surrender letter, Wang Qian had already conquered ten cities and drove King Zhao to the border of Yan State.

"This is a letter of submission from the lord of the country. I would like to serve the state of Qin as the master. In addition to the original six cities, I will donate five more cities." Lord Pingyuan gave up the equal etiquette among princes and knelt in front of the King of Qin.

The servant presented the letter of surrender to King Qin. King Qin looked at the contents above and bargained unceremoniously: "Yesterday, the military newspaper sent by Wang Gan hurriedly stated that he had already conquered ten cities. I am afraid that the Lord Zhao's letter of surrender may Sincerity is not enough."

Lord Pingyuan kowtowed and said, "Even if the general goes down twenty cities in a row, the value is not as good as that of the Lord of Zhao, who is a minister to the Lord."

King Qin laughed loudly and gave Qin Zichu a look.

Qin Zichu got up and walked in front of Lord Pingyuan, looked at him with sympathy, but still said bluntly: "Mr. His subjects have also given up on him. Not to mention the ten cities, our Daqin army is now in a state of invincibility, and it will not be a problem to destroy Zhao."

Lord Pingyuan smiled bitterly, and finally agreed to King Qin's conditions.

Then he left quickly, and was "protected" by Qin Jun and rushed back to King Zhao to convey the news.

It was Qin Zichu's first time to face the scene of the winner and the loser, even though he was the winner, he still had an indescribably strange mood.

After saying goodbye to King Qin, he led Ying Zheng, who was finally able to stabilize himself, and left the main hall of Xianyang Palace.

Ying Zheng looked up at Qin Zichu, who seemed to be extremely tall, and suddenly said, "We won, why are you unhappy?"

Qin Zichu picked him up and kissed his cheek habitually, but he didn't say anything.

Ying Zheng frowned dissatisfied.
