Although there is still a trace of father-son affection between Zhao Tuo and Zhao Shi, the war between the two armies will never be restrained in the slightest because of this trace of family affection.
Just as Zhao Tuo and Zhao Shi were sighing secretly, the fighting between the Qin Army and the South Vietnamese Army became more and more intense. Teams of South Vietnamese Army rushed to the city tower one after another, trying to stop and kill the Qin Army who boarded the tower.
On the top of Dongye City Tower.
The Qin army who climbed up the city tower with Han Chuan had exactly the opposite idea. They wanted to end the Dongye war as soon as possible so that they could rush to reinforce Fusu.
After half an hour of brutal fighting, the Huben Army, led by Han Chuan, repelled several counterattacks by the South Vietnamese Army, successfully captured the city tower, and successfully opened the south gate of Dongye City, killing 10,000 people who had not yet had time to climb the tower.
The Tiger and Ben troops were let in.
With the addition of these ten thousand people, the fighting in Dongye City instantly became favorable to the Qin army.
When Dongye City was surrounded by the thick night, the fighting in Dongye City finally came to an end, and Zhao Tuo withdrew to the Nanyue Palace with hundreds of his followers.
Han Chuan did not hesitate and immediately led 30,000 surviving Tiger Army and Yinglong Army to surround the Nanyue Palace.
In the Nanyue Palace, hundreds of soldiers guarded the palace gate, while Zhao Tuo was sitting on the ground resting with a bloody face, looking as decadent as a defeated lion.
Just when Han Chuan was about to knock on the door, the door of the Nanyue Palace opened from the inside, and a guard of the Nanyue King walked out, bowed to Han Chuan and said:
"My king invites the eldest son Zhao Shi to come in, and also asks the general for permission."
This sudden change left Han Chuan a little confused, so he had to turn around and look at Zhao Shi who was standing behind him, wondering what Zhao Shi meant.
"General Han, let me in!" Zhao Shi said to Han Chuan with firm eyes.
After taking a look at Zhao Shi, Han Chuan nodded solemnly and agreed to Zhao Shi's request.
After a while, Zhao Shi left Han Chuan and others and followed the guard of the Nanyue King into the Nanyue Palace.
When Zhao Shi saw Zhao Tuo sitting on the ground, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted Zhao Tuo: "Unfilial son pays homage to his father."
"Do you still know that I am your father?" Zhao Tuo looked at Zhao Shi playfully and said.
"This is my father's fault. I dare not forget my father."
"You come with me!"
Zhao Tuo stood up as he spoke and walked heavily towards the political meeting hall not far away. Zhao Shi immediately stood up and walked behind Zhao Tuo and helped Zhao Tuo up.
"Shi'er, have you ever blamed your father?" Zhao Tuo asked, looking at Zhao Shi beside him.
"This is my father's fault. I dare not blame my father."
After a while, Zhao Shi helped Zhao Tuo into the political discussion hall.
Zhao Tuoping dismissed all the guards and personally lit the oil lamp in the political hall. Then he stood up and closed the door of the political hall.
The dim oil lamp shone on the faces of the father and son, creating a moment of silence.
"Shi'er, do you know that forcing you to surrender to Fusu was planned by your father?" Zhao Tuo looked at Zhao Shi and said calmly.
After hearing what Zhao Tuo said, Zhao Shi was confused for a moment and didn't know what to say. He could only look at Zhao Tuo blankly, hoping that Zhao Tuo could give him a reasonable explanation.
"Shi'er, ever since Zhang Liang and others sneaked into our South Vietnam to cause trouble, I knew that Fusu had been eyeing our South Vietnam. Originally, I thought that our South Vietnam was not like the Xiang clan from Jiangdong and Touman Shanyu from Hexi, who relied on the dangers of Xiongguan.
It can stop the Qin army, but when Bushan and other places fell one after another, I knew that our South Vietnam was definitely no match for Fusu."
Having said this, Zhao Tuo gave Zhao Shi a meaningful look.
"Father, what do you mean..."
"Shi'er, listen to me first." Zhao Tuo interrupted Zhao Shi's question and spoke again.
"In my opinion, Fusu is not inferior to Qin Shihuang in terms of intelligence or strategy. With this person here, our country in South Vietnam will only fall in a matter of days. I am a traitor to Qin. Even if I return to Qin again, Fusu will resolutely
You will not be allowed to live in this world, but you are different. As long as you surrender to the Qin Dynasty before our Nanyue country is destroyed, Fusu will not make things difficult for you, but will treat you with courtesy, so that you can have a way to survive in this troubled world.
.”
After listening to what Zhao Tuo said, Zhao Shi had already burst into tears and curled up next to Zhao Tuo.
Only at this moment did Zhao Shi understand Zhao Tuo's love for him.
"Shi'er, please remember that you must not be rebellious like your father, let alone have the ambition to cut off the land and become king. Otherwise, you will be killed by Fusu sooner or later. You are asked to be the governor of Nanhai County.
Just do your best, and don't be dissatisfied if you are not allowed to be the county guard. As a father, I only have one wish, which is that you can live a good life."
Zhao Tuo said as he patted Zhao Shi's head lovingly, then got up and walked towards the oil lamp.
"Choke"
The sound of a sharp sword being unsheathed reached Zhao Shi's ears.
Zhao Shi quickly looked up and saw Zhao Tuo holding a shining sword in his hand.
Zhao Shi felt uneasy in his heart and immediately stood up and rushed towards Zhao Tuo.
Zhao Tuo was seen raising his sword towards his neck, and the sound of a sharp blade cutting through his skin could be heard clearly.
A moment later, the body of South Yue King Zhao Tuo went limp. Zhao Shi grabbed Zhao Tuo's lifeless body before he fell to the ground, and burst into tears.
"Father," an extremely sad cry came from the political hall.
When several of Zhao Tuo's chamberlains and personal followers rushed in, they saw Zhao Shi slumped on the ground holding the body of the Nanyue King. The clothes on Zhao Shi's chest were soaked in Zhao Tuo's blood.
These people looked at the wound on Zhao Tuo's neck and understood that Zhao Tuo committed suicide and was not killed by Zhao Shi.
"Your Majesty" and his followers knelt down in front of Zhao Tuo and started wailing.
When the wailing in the Nanyue Palace reached the ears of Han Chuan and others, Han Chuan had already guessed the outcome.
"General Han, do we want to go in?" A deputy general approached Han Chuan and said.
Han Chuan shook his head and said nothing.
The deputy general retreated wisely and waited obediently with Han Chuan.
After a while, Zhao Shi was seen walking out of the Nanyue Palace covered in blood.
When the light of the torch shone on Zhao Shi's face, Han Chuan could see Zhao Shi's face clearly. He saw Zhao Shi's disgraced face, with tears and blood stains covering Zhao Shi's rather handsome face.
Just when Han Chuan looked at Zhao Shi with a blank expression, Zhao Shi knelt down in front of Han Chuan with a plop.
"General Han, Zhao Shi knows that the young master is very dissatisfied with my father's rebellion against Qin. Now that my father is dead, I beg the general to allow Zhao Shi to bury his father alive. If the general is not willing, Zhao Shi is willing to give up Nanhai County.
Instead of guarding the throne, my father will be buried outside Dongye City."
After Zhao Shi finished speaking, he kowtowed heavily to Han Chuan. When Zhao Shi raised his head, a clear blood mark appeared on his forehead.
In fact, Han Chuan wanted to bring Zhao Tuo's head to his son Fusu. After all, he knew Fusu's hatred for Zhao Tuo. However, Zhao Shi's pleading made Han Chuan difficult to make a decision.
While Han Chuan was thinking, Zhao Shi had kowtowed to Han Chuan several times in a row, and his forehead was already bloody.
After much hesitation, Han Chuan helped Zhao Shi up and gave Zhao Shi a helpless look.
"Forget it, I will risk my life. You can go and bury your father alive. If the young master blames me, I will bear the responsibility!" Han Chuan said to Zhao Shi.
"Thank you, General Han"
Zhao Shi said that he was about to kneel down again, but Han Chuan pulled him back.
I really want to write Fusu's opponents as brainless villains, but I would be sorry for the readers and my own conception. Time travel is nonsense enough. I can't make it up for the sake of writing more. I would rather update slower.
, we must also be responsible to the readers. This chapter is a bit heavy to write, because it is about the relationship between father and son in a tragedy. The author believes that both the protagonist and the villain are living people, and their emotional journeys are also part of the novel and should be presented.
