On the road on the northern foot of Mount Tai, more than fifty Hu people were escorting more than five hundred good horses to wind forward.

This is a northern Diao Hu merchant who came to Qidi to sell horses. The leader was a thin Hu man named Zhaosheqimai. However, in order to facilitate business with people from the Central Plains, he gave himself a Chinese name, called Qimai.

Although the profits of selling horses between Donghu in the Central Plains are very high, the risks are also great, but they are not afraid of buying together.

Because Qi Mai is the younger brother of King Zhaoshe of Beihe, and the Beihe tribe is one of the most powerful branches in the Donghu, with tens of thousands of string control men, even King Zangtu of Yan had to buy some face for Qi. If it weren't for this, the more than 500 good horses he bought would have been intercepted by Zangyan (the eldest son of Zangtu) who stayed in Yan State.

Qi Mai naturally didn't know that his more than 500 good horses were targeted by others. At this moment, he was leading more than 50 tribes to drive the horses forward slowly. Less than 80 miles ahead was Linzi, a major city in Qi. Qi Mai never thought that his horse team would be attacked here.

Without warning, a wolf-toothed arrow suddenly roared out from the dense forest in front of the left.

The Beihe Warrior riding a horse in front was unprepared and was shot through his throat immediately and immediately turned over and fell off the horse.

The next moment, the densely packed feathered arrows had already shot out from the dense forests and grass on both sides of the galloping road. The more than 50 northern marten warriors walking in front of the horses and landing behind them screamed and fell down. Qi Mai was quite quick to react, and with his thin figure, he immediately shrank on the horse's back, and then he could barely avoid the rapid rain of arrows.

At this time, the herd of horses in the middle was also frightened and began to run around.

Qi Mai Xin's horse was free and was about to escape while he was about to take advantage of the chaos. Hundreds of people from the Central Plains suddenly rushed out of the dense forests on both sides, and all of them were heavily armored warriors wearing iron armor and holding large shields. The group of horses running around was quickly gathered to the edge of the road, and dozens of Northern Sable Warriors who were only injured by arrows were chopped to the ground.

Seeing two heavily armored warriors coming straight towards him with cold long swords, Qi Mai was immediately disgusted. In desperation, he shouted loudly: "No, don't kill me, I am the younger brother of a mother of Beihe King Zhaoshe. As long as you let me have a way out, I am willing to offer another five hundred good horses, no, a thousand good horses!"

Jing Qian was carrying a horizontal knife and was about to behead the Hu man who was lying on the horse's back and pretending to be dead, but he was reluctant to prevent the Hu man from speaking the Central Plains. Although he had a strong Yandi accent, he could understand it at least. When he heard that the Hu man could offer another thousand good horses, Jing Qian did not dare to take it on his own and shouted, "Tie it, take it back and hand it over to the general."

"No!" The two martial soldiers who were trapped in the formation agreed with a loud bang, stepped forward and pulled Qi Mai off his horse and tied it up without saying a word.

In less than a moment, more than 500 good horses were driven into the dense forest beside the road. The bodies of more than 50 Northern Diao Hu cavalry were dragged into the forest and hid. With a whistle, the Xiandeng dead soldiers who were cruising at the intersections of the north and south sides also hid into the dense forest of Daozu. At the same time, the bodies of more than a dozen passing travelers were dragged into the forest.

#############

Two hours later, the two hundred martial soldiers and three hundred angrily archers sent out came back.

Jing Qian threw Qimai, who was tied into rice dumplings, and threw it to Xiangzhuang, bowing and reporting: "General, the horse has been obtained, fifty-six Hu people have left this living mouth, and kill all the others!"

"What kind of living leave to rob?" Xiang Zhuang said lightly, "Drag it down and chop it."

"Okay, please spare me, please spare me." Qi Mai was frightened when she heard this and said in panic, "The villain is the younger brother of a mother who was defeated by the Eastern Hu and North Diao Wang Zhao. If the general can let the villain go, the villain would rather offer thousands of good horses. No, two thousand good horses!" In order to save his life, Qi Mai really spared no expense, and this has increased to two thousand good horses.

"Oh?" Xiang Zhuang's heart moved when he heard this and said, "Are you the brother of the Eastern Hu and North Diao Wang Zhao who lost his tail?"

Xiang Zhuang had heard of the Hundred Schools of Thought in his previous life and knew that a cavalry from the Northern Diao Tribe followed King Zangtu of Yan to participate in the Battle of Gaixia.

"Yes, yes, the villain is really the younger brother of the Bei Diao King." Qi Mai nodded repeatedly, "If there is any falsehood, the sky will hit the lightning, so that the villain will not die well."

Xiang Zhuang touched his chin and suddenly asked, "Do you often come to Linzi to sell horses?"

"Come, come often." Qi Mai nodded repeatedly, "The villain has been coming to Linzi more than ten times."

Xiang Zhuang also said: "Is the Horse Market in Linzi within the city or outside the city? Do you have any acquaintances in Linzi?"

Qi Mai's eyes rolled and guessed Xiang Zhuang's intention. He immediately replied: "Linzi Horse City is outside the city, but the villain has a gold medal given by King Han Xin of Qi, so the villain and his tribe can enter and exit the city gate at any time." After that, Qi Mai actually took out a gold medal from his arms like a magic trick and handed it to Xiang Zhuang with both hands.

This gold medal was really given to Qi by Han Xin. The reason was that Qi Zhui and Qi sold thousands of good horses one after another, directly helping Han Xin expand Guan Ying’s cavalry army!

Xiang Zhuang took over the gold medal and looked back at Wei Liao and said, "Military advisor, it's done!"

Wei Liao smiled and nodded. With this gold medal, the Chu army's confidence in capturing the city was at least 20%.

Xiang Zhuang ordered Gongsun to select more than 50 sharp soldiers from the first-row dead soldiers, and then put them on the clothes of the Beihe Hu people, then took Qi Mai to drive more than a hundred good horses to Linzi, trapped the camp, first climbed the camp, and followed the Nufeng camp and the other troops, and advanced quickly towards Linzi at night.

Tian Si was led by Qi army and led more than 30 people. It was his turn to guard Yongmen tonight.

Linzi is a thousand-year-old ancient city. It took hundreds of years of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. After many renovations and expansions, it finally formed the current pattern of large cities and small cities. The small city is in the southwest, also called palace city. Half of the palace city is the palace of the King of Qi, and half is official workshops such as coins, iron smelting, and copper smelting. It can be said that it is the political and economic center of Qi.

The Great City is located in the northeast and is a residential area for officials, civilians and merchants.

The big city has eight city gates, among which Yong Gate is the central gate to the north.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and Qi changed its power several times. He also suffered large-scale wars twice. One was when Han Xin destroyed Qi, and the second was when Long Qi attacked Qi. However, the battle between Han Xin's defeat of Qi was very smooth and did not cause too much damage to Qi. As for Long Qi's defeat of Qi, it was limited to the southern part of Qi, and the damage to Qi was also not great.

It is precisely because of this that Han Xin was able to quickly piece together more than 300,000 troops after pacifying Qi!

In the Battle of Gaixia, even Liu Bang could only piece together 200,000 troops, but Han Xin brought 300,000 troops in an instant, which made Liu Bang frightened and couldn't even sleep at night. If Chu hadn't been completely pacified, and Liu Bang and Chen Ping tried their best to dissuade him, Liu Bang would have taken Han Xin's 300,000 troops long ago!

Back to the topic, due to the large population of Qi and not being damaged by too much war, Han Xin took away 300,000 troops, but still left a considerable number of defenders. There were 5,000 defenders in Linzi alone, and all of them were young and strong, rather than old, weak and sick.

Tian Si is in his prime and looks powerful as Kong Wu. He is sitting in the doorman drinking.

It is a chore to guard the city gate, especially in this cold day. Standing on the top of the city for half an hour can freeze your legs. If you don’t drink a few sips, who can stand it?

"The team leader, someone is coming over there, it seems like a Hu person who entered the city during the day."

A soldier suddenly pointed to the street in front of him and shouted. When Tian Si looked back, he saw dozens of drunk Hu people walking towards the city gate with torches. The small Hu people in the lead recognized that it was the younger brother of the Beihe King, Yan Mai. The king also gave him a gold medal.

Soon, dozens of drunken Hu people walked to the city gate.

Tian Si came forward, barely blocking Yan Mai's way, and said with a smile: "Mr. Yan Mai, where are you going?"

The dozen soldiers behind Tian Si also rushed up, each with a smile on their faces. They all knew that Yan Mai was a Hu merchant who sold horses and was generous in his actions. Judging from his attitude, he planned to leave the city overnight, which violated the rules. Although he had not done such a thing before, he should have made some statements, right?

Yan Mai is worthy of being a wealthy businessman who sells horses. As expected, he did not disappoint these big-headed soldiers. He took out some hanging money from his arms and handed it to Tian Si, and said drunkenly: "Captain Tian, ​​you can buy some hanging money for your brothers to drink. Now please open the city gate. I, I want to go out of the city."

Tian Guo took over the money and weighed it, then turned around and shouted: "Open the door!"

A dozen soldiers rushed up and quickly moved two huge door bolts weighing more than a thousand pounds, and then opened the city gate with iron on the surface. Almost at the same time, the suspension bridge outside also creaked down. Yan Mai turned around and waved his hand, and dozens of Hu people walked into the city gate hole in a shaking manner.

When Tian Si was about to go back to the door and take a few more sips, a clear sing suddenly came from behind his head, which sounded like the sound of a sharp blade being unsheathed. The next moment, he felt that he suddenly "flying". In the violent rotation, Tian Si vaguely saw a headless corpse. In addition, the dozens of Hu people actually pulled out their long swords and were slashing his soldiers wantonly!

These Hu people actually dared to kill their soldiers? Tian Si was furious. What do they want to do?

However, before Tian Si could figure out what was going on, the endless darkness had completely swallowed him...########################################################################################################################################################################################################################################
