More than a month ago, the Qin army was aggressively besieging Tongzhou. They never imagined that the same situation would happen in Jincheng in just a few days.

Qin Wang Han Xinyou lay drunk on his back on the soft couch, stacks of memorials and wine bottles were chaotically piled up on the desk, and the old eunuch at his feet carefully beat his legs.

The old man kneeling at the bottom of the steps was about 60 years old. He was skinny, with cloudy tears in his sunken eyes. With trembling hands, he took off his official hat and put it aside. It is said that the Qin land is remote, food and grass are insufficient, and long-distance combat will definitely lead to increased domestic demand! Marching and fighting cannot be based on enthusiasm, and if you don’t have that strength, don’t touch stones! Now they are working together for Jincheng, but the food and grass in the city It can't last for three days, and if the army and the people have nothing to eat, there will definitely be riots!"

"Tongzhou has lasted for a long time without soldiers and food. Why can't my king's Jincheng not last?" Han Xinyou broke away from his bewildered eyes, reached out to pick up the wine bottle and shook it, straightened up slightly and raised his head to shake the rest of the wine. After drinking down the wine, there was a belch in his throat, and his tongue was still knotted: "Master Zhang, please remember this king, don't say that there is no food! Eat the animals when the food is gone! Eat people when the animals are gone! Once the war breaks out, who will be starved by the dead in the city? In short, as long as there is one person in the city, support me!"

"My lord! There are reinforcements in Tongzhou!" Mr. Zhang gasped, his whole body was shaking with anger, and a pair of skinny old hands clenched his front: "Jincheng is an isolated city, there are no reinforcements, no follow-up supply of food and grass, and we are struggling to support Jincheng. Sooner or later, there will be a scene of cannibalism! But animals can't bear cannibalism, let alone people! That's a crime!"

Han Xinyou sat up from the soft couch all at once, kicked the eunuch who was beating his legs, his eyes were bloodshot, and said viciously: "Who are you scolding for being inferior to a beast! If you have the ability, please speak clearly !"

"Even if it's a cannibal, the lord thinks Jincheng can hold it?" Master Zhang, who had been kneeling for a long time, looked at Han Xinyou's stubbornness, and lost his temper when he spoke. He sneered and said, "The ancients said: Those who win the hearts of the people win the world." The Qi Army, Chu Army, and Beijing Army have strict discipline, and they have never heard of killing one person indiscriminately! Besides, the emperor has already issued an imperial decree, as long as the people of Jincheng do not resist, they are not allowed to slaughter wantonly! And the reverse? Dog, how could the people be willing to risk their lives for you! The people in Tongzhou fought with death, what does the prince think is the reason? If it weren’t for the ghost thing that sacrificed to the god crow, how could people’s hearts be changed? Mr. Zhang is alive For sixty years, I have read more than a thousand volumes, and I have never seen or heard of anyone who obtained the throne by relying on low-level witchcraft!"

Han Xinyou gritted his teeth, his eyes wished to stare out of their sockets, he swayed a few times and stood up from the soft bed, took two big steps around the back of Mr. Zhang, raised his foot and stomped him on the ground: "Zhang Zeyi, you old bastard! , I am really impatient to live!"

Mr. Zhang is an old bone. After being stepped on by a nine-foot strong man, he immediately lost his breath, and his head hit the ground heavily in an instant.Han Xinyou increased his strength and rolled it back and forth a few times, but it was still not enough to vent his anger.He raised his foot and kicked the man out again.

Metamorphosis is often manifested in all aspects. Even Han Xinyou's boots are different from ordinary boots. He has installed abnormally sharp iron plates under the soles.Mr. Zhang coughed up blood, and he was about to stand up with his hands on the ground. He felt his body go limp and fell to one side, only to find that half of his clothes were soaked in blood, and a big cut was made on his left rib: "Your Majesty is so majestic." Vigorous! I'm afraid that the old minister will never see a day when your head hangs high!"

"You can't see me, but I can see your whole family!" Han Xinyou's facial features were twisted in one place, and he approached Zhang Zeyi step by step, with black air all over his body.

Mr. Zhang is a loyal minister, a good official, he is humble and never makes things difficult for others, unlike those big witches who cannibalize people and don't spit out their bones.He shouldn't be treated like this. The eunuch who was kicked away turned his face away, closed his eyes and put his head against the foot of the soft couch. The sound of bones breaking behind him made him tremble all over.

The next day, more than two dozen bruised and bruised corpses were hung on the city wall of Jincheng, regardless of men, women, old or young. Looking at the naked bodies in winter makes people feel chilling.

There are only two reasons for killing people at this time, either the traitor or the demagogy of the army. Yang Shiling straddled his horse and walked in front of the array station, frowning and asked, "Who was killed?"

"Return to the general's words," the messengers around drove over, pointed to the white-haired old man in the middle of a row of corpses, and said, "Listen to the report from the spies in the city, that person is Zhang Zeyi, the prefect of Ning County, King Qin!"

"Zhang Zeyi?"

The loose white hair was blowing back and forth with the cold wind, the obviously sunken head was hung by a rope, and a face was so stained with blood that it was impossible to see its true colors.Yang Shiling couldn't help laughing, thinking that Han Xinyou was simply being funny.Although Zhang Zeyi had never met him, he had heard of some things more or less.If the stubborn old man was said to be a traitor, he would not believe it even if he was beaten to death. It is only possible that Zhang Zeyi said something he shouldn't have said, and took the lives of himself and his family in it!

"Quickly report the news of the violent corpse of Zhang Zeyi's family to the two princes in the rear." After Yang Shiling gave the order to the messenger, he turned around and smiled at Zhou Tong, and said with his mouth, "Zhou Tong, we should have a new day in these two days." An old friend!"

"Huh?!" Zhou Tong didn't react, looked up at the row of white corpses, and muttered, "What old friend? I don't remember any old friends among the Qin people!"

When the news reached the rear, his condition finally improved. Ling Huaimo was still asleep, and King Qi stood outside impatiently, simply listened to the report and sent him to the nearby military tent.Han Xinchen also woke up from a nap. He was half asleep and half awake and didn't finish listening to the detailed report of the soldiers below.

Su Guanyan came out from behind the curtain, raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, and whispered in a daze, "What's so happy? It's scary!"

"Did it disturb you?" Han Xinchen turned around, tightened his baggy clothes, and said with a smile, "I wanted you to sleep a little longer, but I didn't call you, but I was woken up!"

"If you go back to sleep, it will be dinner time. It's time to get up." Su Guanyan picked up the fox fur on the shelf and wrapped it around her body, and stood not far behind King Chu's chair: "The prince is so happy, could it be that the Jincheng was captured?" gone?"

Han Xinchen was even more happy, the corners of his mouth could not wait to hang his ears, his eyes were narrowed into a line, and he raised his voice exaggeratedly: "Jincheng is just something in the bag, and it is only a matter of time before it is captured! Guanyan, just now this king I heard a joke - my good second brother killed the only sane person around him! And he trampled to death! Then he flogged the whole family to death, and hung their naked corpses at the gate of the city! Hahaha... …Placing sacrifices first, and killing loyal ministers later, the King of Qin is really the No. 1 who has been digging the wall for hundreds of years!"

The torture and murder of a loyal minister should be a tragedy. Su Guanyan couldn't understand what was funny in the words, and felt sick for a while, but she had to put on a smile on her face: "King Qin is also a rare talent! If his mother knows it, will he?" Would you be very pleased?"

"Empress Dowager Qian's sinister old woman, it is reasonable to give birth to such a promising son!" Han Xinchen nodded in agreement, and his men tapped the table rhythmically: "Guanyan, in a few days, we will You can go to the city to hold a celebration banquet!"

The old man whom Yang Shiling and Zhou Tong mentioned really came to the barracks three nights later.Then, under the light of the moon, Zhou Tong was stunned for a quarter of an hour when he saw the face under the hood, and then picked up two swords and almost rushed up.

"Stop! Stop!" Yang Shiling calculated that someone would come to visit in the next two days, but he didn't expect it to be himself. He hurriedly grabbed the angry-eyed Deputy General Zhou, and said angrily in a low voice, "Don't give me a visit!" Add to the trouble! If the skin is itchy, just say it!"

"It's just your bastard son who led the troops to fight Tongzhou, don't you know that you are a grandfather?!" Zhou Tong didn't mean to swallow this breath at all, and shouted loudly: "Yang Shiling, don't stop me! So many brothers died in Tongzhou, if I don’t kill him, Pei Chengwan, I won’t rest in peace even if I die!”

He called out in such a loud voice that the soldiers who had participated in the defense of Tongzhou surrounded them one after another. Although they didn't charge up personally like Zhou Tong, their eyes showed naked hatred.Although Yang Shiling's plan was good, it was really not worthwhile to lose the prestige in the army because of this, and the strength of his subordinates couldn't help but relax a bit.

The visitor pulled off his hood, and the scarred face was revealed in front of everyone: "It is the king of Qin who wants to massacre Tongzhou! It is the great witch who made the plan! I am the leader of the charge! I can't shirk you if you want revenge! But brothers! The people of Jincheng are innocent!"

"The people of Tongzhou are not innocent?! The people of Ji County deserve to be sacrificed!" Someone in the soldiers shouted, and it was the angry people who surrounded Pei Chengwan even tighter.

"I didn't think about going back alive when I came here!" Pei Chengwan glanced around for a week, and although he was alone, he didn't lose his momentum, and said loudly: "Pei Chengwan is a warrior with a knife, and one day he will die in the same place one day. Under the sword! The king of Qin deserves to die, the great witch deserves to die, and Pei Chengwan also deserves to die, but there are always some people who don’t deserve to die! He has been talking about benevolence and benevolence all his life. It was expected that he would be the first to die before the battle!"

The eight-foot-tall hesitant man trembled, the scars on his hideous face were tinged with misery, and his voice choked up: "Everyone deserves to die, but Mr. Zhang shouldn't die! I really don't want to be good, and I will go against him for the rest of my life." The heart of the old man... Tomorrow Pingdan opens the city gate, General Yang, please enter Jincheng through the east gate! I sincerely wish to die in exchange for the lives of the people of Jincheng!"

"The Qi army's strict military style will naturally not kill innocent people indiscriminately!" Yang Shiling let go of Zhou Tong, cupped his hands to Pei Chengwan, and said, "General Pei, please come back. Jincheng was spared from the flames of war. The people will definitely remember your kindness."

With Yang Shiling opening the way, even if he is popular, he will never rush out to embarrass Pei Cheng.

"What do you mean?!" Zhou Tong reacted slowly, and only after Pei Chengwan had gone far away did he realize that this guy is here to throw himself into the city this time!That means Jincheng doesn't need to fight anymore? !
