Qu Ming covered his chest, still a little scared when he thought about the scene just now.
Fortunately, the other party was just trying to scare him, otherwise he would have been shot to death by random arrows.
Qu Song sat in the main seat, peeled an orange and threw it into his mouth, and said calmly: "Tell me, what do you want to do for those Qin people in Pengcheng? If you have nothing to say, I will lock you up and send you away when the time comes.
Give it to Zuo Sima."
"Sure enough, Zuo Sima sent someone to send you a message. It seems that he is following the Qin army?" Qu Ming was surprised.
Qu Song sneered and said: "Of course, you, Qu An, the general helped this Qin army to cause a lot of troubles. They made a big fuss in Huainan, and defrauded Qi Yi in Huaibei and defeated Fuli.
It has caused chaos in our country of Chu."
"But the good days for you and this Qin army are over. Zuo Sima has already chased him with an army of ten thousand. He even asked Xinqi to detour to Zhuyi and send me an order to block the Qin army in Pengcheng.
When his army arrives, he will turn you all into corpses."
Qu Ming swallowed and his thighs shook unconsciously.
The newly appointed Zuo Sima was really powerful. Not only did he quickly locate Zhao Tuo's Qin army, he also sent the messenger to take a detour and sent an order to Pengcheng to intercept it.
At this time, there were three thousand Chu soldiers blocking the road in front, and an army of ten thousand in pursuit. No matter how capable the Qin prince named Zhao Tuo was, he would be unable to fly.
It seems that no one in this Qin army of more than 5,000 people can escape.
But in that case, Qu Ming would also be dead.
Based on Qu Ming's surrender to the Qin army and what he did to help the Qin people, Fu Chu would never let him go.
Therefore, Qu Ming must realize his plan before Zuo Sima's army wipes out the Qin army. Only in this way can he win a glimmer of hope and escape from this fatal situation.
Qu Ming didn't want to die.
Although when he was first captured by the Qin army, he had the intention of committing suicide and martyrdom for his country. He wanted to show his style as a Chu man and not lose the glory of his surname. However, his heroic ambitions were immediately wiped out by Zhao Tuo's waterboarding.
Gone.
After that, Qu Ming surrendered to the Qin army and helped them escape from the city. He was alive once, became familiar with it the second time, and became numb after the third and fourth times and allowed himself to be manipulated.
After the desire to die in my heart subsides, I can never bring it up again.
I don’t know how good the life of the nobles these days is, with rich clothes and fine food, beautiful wives and concubines, singing and dancing every day, who can be willing to die?
Even if Qu Ming becomes disabled, he doesn't want to die, he still wants to go back to his old days. And now is his only chance to turn around.
He took a deep breath and said, "Brother, I am here just to ask you to remember the blood of our Qu family and save my life. Then... I will give you a great achievement!"
"Save you? Great achievement?"
Qu Song frowned.
Seeing the other party's confusion, Qu Ming quickly revealed his plan.
It is possible for the three thousand Chu troops in Pengcheng to block and entangle the five thousand Qin troops and delay them for several days.
But in that case, the credit for annihilating this Qin army would fall on Zuo Sima Zhaoping.
Qu Song could only receive two words of praise and a small reward, but there was no substantial reward at all. Instead, he would lose his troops.
….
Qu Ming will fall into the hands of Zhao Ping and be taken back to Shouchun to suffer revenge.
With such an ending, it would be better for the two of them to join forces to make a show, deceive the Qin army and make the Qin army lose its defense.
Then Qu Song could take the opportunity to raid the Qin army, annihilate the Qin army before Zuo Sima's army arrived, and capture Qin's general Xin Wu and the military commander named Zhao Tuo.
In this way, the great achievement of annihilating the enemy belongs entirely to Qu Song.
Qu Ming could also use this battle to show his loyalty to the King of Chu, describing his previous humiliation as enduring humiliation and bearing a heavy burden, and waiting for the opportunity to destroy the Qin army.
Based on his understanding of Fu Chu, he knew that this king only cares about profit. As long as Qu Ming can prove his worth, with the heads of Qin army generals, he will definitely be forgiven by Fu Chu, and even Fu Chu will reward him if he is happy.
also said
indefinite.
"This is a win-win situation. Brother, you can gain great merit and I can survive, so why not?"
Qu Ming looked at the other party eagerly. This was a plan he had racked his brains to come up with. For this reason, he did not hesitate to swear in front of the generals of the Qin army, just to gain Zhao Tuo's trust to implement this plan.
Qu Song frowned.
To be honest, he was a little moved.
He had already learned from the messenger sent by Zhaoping that this Qin army had caused a big trouble in Huainan, and the king even offered a high reward for this.
Whoever captures the Qin army's leader will be rewarded five hundred gold.
Anyone who captures the Qin general Black Bottom will be rewarded with a hundred gold coins.
This is a lot of money, not to mention that if he can annihilate five thousand Qin troops, he will definitely be promoted, and he may even be made a king.
Seeing Qu Song's hesitation, Qu Ming continued to add: "Brother, don't forget that Zuo Sima belongs to the Zhao family. The Zhao family and the Jing family are close, but they are at odds with my Qu family. If we let that family go again,
Zuo Sima made great achievements, but I died tragically because of it, so the king will definitely favor the Zhao family in the future, so what should I do with the Qu family?"
Hearing this, Qu Song was shocked.
Yes, this matter is also related to the interests of the Qu family.
Since the Sanlu doctor Qu Yuan was exiled by the King of Chu.
The Qu family's status in the political arena of the Chu State has always been inferior to that of the Zhao and Jing families. It was not until Qu Ming usurped the throne with the regicide of Fu Chu that the Qu family became a celebrity in front of the king.
Now that Qu Ming is being punished, once he is captured and sentenced to death, the status of the Qu family will plummet again.
On the contrary, because of Zhao Ping's meritorious service, the status of the Zhao family will probably rise even further. If the Zhao and Jing families have a good relationship, then the Qu family will be suppressed for decades.
Family interests are more important than anything else.
This is why Qu Song was willing to let Qu Ming enter the city and listen to his story even though he knew that Qu Ming had betrayed Chu and attached himself to the Qin army.
Family interests, great achievements in promotion, and high rewards.
This weight is enough for him to fight.
Qu Song gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then I'll listen to you. You tell me what I should do. Five thousand Qin troops, and these three thousand in my city may not be able to win."
Qu Ming smiled slyly.
"Attack the enemy unprepared, take the enemy by surprise."
"Lower their guard and attack the camp at night!"
…
One day later, on the road outside Pengcheng.
A Qin army of more than 5,000 people was marching slowly.
"Pengcheng...is the Xuzhou of the future."
….
Zhao Tuo stood on the carriage and looked sideways at the city a hundred meters away. He saw a towering city wall with many Chu soldiers standing ready in formation. It was difficult to capture at first sight.
He couldn't help but thought to himself: "Pengcheng not only controls all directions geographically, but also has strong walls. No wonder Xiang Yu will set his capital here in the future."
Thinking of this, Zhao Tuo turned to look at Qu Ming, who was sitting in the chariot, and said with a smile: "Thanks to General Qu Ming this time, I was able to persuade Qu Song to get out of the way and sit in the city and watch. Otherwise, we will stop here.
It's hard to advance here until Zuo Sima catches up."
Qu Ming hurriedly said humbly: "Marquis Zhao has to trust you, otherwise I won't be able to use my strength."
At this time, a war horse galloped over and walked alongside the car.
On the war horse, Zhao Guang, the leader of the 2500 army, whispered: "The soldiers have been prepared. If the Chu army in the city dares to come out to attack, we will definitely give him a head-on blow."
"Um."
Zhao Tuo waved his hand and asked Zhao Guang to go down. He turned to Qu Ming and explained: "We have to be more prepared for military conflicts. General Qu doesn't mind."
When Qu Ming heard this, he laughed dryly: "You should, you should, the military commander is really careful."
As he said this, Qu Ming couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
When making plans before, Qu Song had thought of a way, which was to pretend to let the road to Peiyi, and when the Qin army passed Pengcheng Road, he suddenly opened the city gate and launched an attack. The Chu army attacked the middle section of the Qin army and cut it off.
, there will definitely be a big killing spree
kill.
But this plan was rejected by Qu Ming, because he knew that although the Zhao Junhou was young, he was very cunning. How could he pass through Pengcheng unprepared. Qu Ming's approach was no different from frontal combat.
Three thousand versus five thousand, it will be another fierce battle. Even if the Chu army can win by waiting for work and making a sudden attack, it will definitely be a miserable victory.
And if he could not hit the target with one blow, destroy the Qin army and capture the Qin general, then Qu Ming would not be able to stand up.
"You still have to listen to me and let the Qin army pass by. When they pass through Pengcheng, they will definitely relax their guard and think that you are sincerely helping. Wait until night, and you will lead the army to attack the Qin camp. The Qin people will be unprepared and there will be a big disaster.
Defeat. In this way, your 3,000 troops can defeat the 5,000 Qin people. In the chaos of the army, it is also possible to kill or capture the Qin generals. This is a great achievement, and I can be forgiven for this."
"Then how do you get out at night?"
"The Qin army will definitely relax their vigilance against me after passing Pengcheng. I will act on my own initiative when the time comes. Moreover, as soon as you attack the camp, the Qin army will be in chaos and they may not be able to take care of me. This is my chance to survive. It is better to do this than
It's easier to escape during a daytime attack. And I can still afford the risk."
