Mengtian led more than 30,000 Jiuyuan fine cavalry without stopping and rushed all the way to Julu City first.
Julu, the place where Emperor Yao of the Tang Dynasty and Emperor Shun of the Zen Dynasty were located. It has always been a battleground for military strategists. In the original history, it was here that Zhang Han was defeated by Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, which caused the Qin Dynasty to lose its last bit of support and was quickly destroyed.
Therefore, there are five major counties in the Zhao territory, from north to south: Yunzhong County, Yanmen County, Dai County,
Shangdang County and Anping County (bordering Qi and Yan).
Among the five major counties, Shangdang County is the only one in the west, stretching thousands of miles from north to south, almost covering the entire western part of the Zhao Kingdom. Hanoi is located in the southwest hinterland of the Zhao Kingdom, and the rolling lofty mountains of the Taihang Mountains create the Eight Frontiers of Taihang.
The second route from Hanoi is the Taihang Fortress, the third fortress of Baifang and the Jinggui Fortress of Shangdang are the three major fortress barriers in the west and south of the old Zhao State. If you capture these three fortresses, you can go straight to Handan, the capital of the old Zhao State.
Julu County, which is only more than a hundred miles away from Anping County and Handan, is the last and last barrier in the north and east of Zhao State, so Zhao State built Julu Fortress here.
The State of Zhao was destroyed by the Qin Dynasty, and Anping County was immediately abolished. The First Emperor ordered the demolition of various fortresses built by the six kingdoms within the territory of the Qin Dynasty. Julu, as the seat of the newly established Julu County, was not demolished but instead strengthened.
The giant deer in the deep ditch and wide city is just a big fat piece of meat that is out of reach for Mengtian's thirty thousand cavalry. They can see it but cannot touch it. The thirty-nine thousand elite cavalry and light troops came without any large-scale cavalry.
The siege equipment could only wait until the more than 10,000 infantrymen carrying heavy weapons arrived from behind before they could begin to attack the city.
Originally, Meng Tian was mentally prepared to endure the huge casualties suffered by the Jiuyuan Army under the Julu City again, but to his surprise, there was not a single soldier guarding the city on the tall Julu City wall.
It's like an empty city.
Just when Meng Tian waved his hand to stop the army, the originally closed Julu City Gate slowly opened amidst the roaring sound.
As the city gate opened, a middle-aged man wearing a high crown and a green robe walked out first.
Behind him were a large number of bound officials wearing various robes and crowns. At the front was a young man wearing a brocade robe with a jade belt around his waist and a scale crown on his head. He was also the only one who was not tied up.
people.
Although the tens of thousands of Jiuyuan Jingqi sitting on their horses outside the city didn't know what happened in Julu City, it was obvious that Julu had surrendered, and it seemed that the middle-aged man walking at the front had taken Xin Zhao's
The king and officials caught them all in one fell swoop.
The more than a hundred deceased Zhao survivors who were tied up suddenly looked ashen as they looked at the palpitating darkness outside the city that was emitting a cold light under the sun.
Although when the Jiuyuan Army came galloping, they were mentally prepared when they heard the thunderous sound of horse hooves in the corridor of the city wall, but now they are really facing these tens of thousands of black men at such a close distance.
Only Jia Da Qin Jingqi realized that fear had always been hidden in the deepest part of his heart.
Pang Xin looked at the tens of thousands of Jiuyuan Jingqi who were standing still like sculptures a hundred steps away, and secretly sighed that Li Zuoche had not lost unfairly. Then he straightened his robes and strode towards the front of the formation to ride his horse under the tooth banner.
The standing mengtian walked away.
"Therefore, Pang Xin, the son of General Pang Wei of Zhao and the guilty minister, pays homage to Lord Meng Tian!" Pang Xin said in a loud voice, bowing deeply to Meng Tian who was sitting under the flag of his teeth after more than ten steps.
"Pang Nuan's son?" Meng Tian asked slowly with a look on his face.
"The general is the guilty one!" Pang Xin stood up and bowed.
"Why is this?" Meng Tian stared at Pang Bang for a while, did not dwell on the problem anymore, raised his finger and pointed at the city gate and asked.
"General, these are the remnants of the Zhao Kingdom, headed by the new king of the Zhao Kingdom, Xie, who was restored by Li Zuoche! When the guilty officials heard that the general had arrived with an army in person, they all were tied up in tribute to the general!" Pang Xin said.
Meng Tian pondered for a while and said slowly: "This general, I will report your contribution to the Qin Dynasty to His Majesty." Then Meng Tian stopped talking and ordered in a deep voice: "Capture a certain kind of thieves and send them to you immediately.
Come to Xianyang and offer it to Your Majesty!"
"Here!"
The bodyguards around him immediately rushed out with hundreds of riders to take over Zhao Wangxie and others. Pang Xin did not tie up Zhao Wangxie to save face. Naturally, the Jiuyuan Army would not return Zhao Wangxie's face. After a while, more than a hundred people were all gone.
He was tied up again and taken aside.
During the whole process, no one, whether it was Zhao Wangxie or the more than a hundred deceased Zhao survivors, made any move. They just let the Jiuyuan Army do it with a look of death. They had obviously been appointed.
Seeing that the personal guards had brought Zhao Wangxie and others to the army, Meng Tian waved his hand and said: "Money - no advertising
Liang's troops followed my general into the city to appease the people and conveyed His Majesty's edict, and the rest of the army camped on the spot. All soldiers must not disturb the people, any offenders will be killed!"
"Here!"
Mengtian turned to Pang Xin and said: "Are there any soldiers in the city? Is the former governor still there?" "General, there are still 100,000 soldiers in the city, but they are all soldiers with incomplete armor and weapons, and they have all returned.
The heart of the Qin Dynasty, I hope the general can let them go! All the officials of the former Qin Dynasty have been killed!" Pang Xin said to his family. After a pause, Pang Xin continued!', there is one more thing that needs to be reported to the general."
"What else is there?" Meng Tian asked with a slight smile.
"Prime Minister Li Zuoche sent his confidants and an army of 50,000 to Linzi one day ago to seize the grain from the Sleeping Cang!"
"Is this happening?" Meng Tian asked in surprise.
"General, there is no need to worry. Except for the main general, all the other generals and guilty ministers in the army on this road have old pasts. The guilty ministers are willing to go in person to persuade them, and these generals will be allowed to surrender to Qin." Pang Xin said calmly.
Meng Tian took a deep look at Pang Xin and said slowly: "If this is really possible, I will personally report to His Majesty and ask for merit for you."
"Thank you, General!"
"Wang Chan!" Meng Tian said loudly.
"The end will be here!" A middle-aged leader emerged from the crowd and bowed on his horse in response.
"You don't need to set up camp. You can immediately follow Pang Xin to Linzi to relieve the danger of sleeping in the warehouse. You must obey Pang Xin's orders along the way and must not violate them."
"Here!" Wang Chan responded, and then asked: "General, what should we do if Master Pang Xin cannot persuade this rebellious army?"
"Kill him!" Meng Tian said coldly. "But Pang Xin, you have to bring the giant deer back safely!"
"Here!" Wang Chan said excitedly after hearing Meng Tian's words.
Pang Xin, who was standing next to her, felt a chill all over her body when she heard Meng Tian's cold words "kill him".
"I will hand over the letter eagle and the eagle warrior given by your majesty to you. Tomorrow, I will see your letter. Go!" Mengtian said without saying a word, and rode his horse to lead Qian Liang's more than ten thousand people.
Jiuyuan Jingqi drove into Julu Fortress.
On the night of April 28th, the first year of Emperor Qin II,
Ever since Jiuyuan Hou General Meng Tian led his army north to Julu to quell the chaos, Handan City has regained its former vitality. Even some special places are still brightly lit at night.
People and cars were passing by the door of a huge house in the east of Handan City. Three unique three-story bamboo buildings, one red and two green, were hidden in the lush bamboo forest. The two green buildings were wispy and bamboo-like, and bursts of laughter.
But the Red Mansion was completely silent.
The silent top floor of the red building!
"Bang!" The wine splashed everywhere, and a small and exquisite bronze wine bottle fell out from behind a bead curtain made of pearls. It rolled on the ground a few times and finally stopped outside the bead curtain. A middle-aged man in Tsing Yi stood there and stood bowed.
People's feet.
"Pang Xin really deserves to die! He really deserves to die! Li Zuoche really deserves to die too!"
A mature female voice with gritted teeth and a slightly hoarse voice sounded from the inner room behind the bead curtain. The hoarse voice contained a hint of charm and had a unique charm, but the killing intent in her tone made people shudder.
Hearing this female voice, the middle-aged man in green clothes outside the bead curtain trembled, and then he bowed deeper.
"Have King Zhao and those idiots been betrayed by Pang Xin and sacrificed to Meng Tian?"
As if her mood had calmed down, it took the girl a long while before she started ringing again. Although her words were still cold, they were obviously not as violent and murderous as before.
"Master, it's true!" the middle-aged man in Tsing Yi whispered.
"Snapped!"
Another bronze wine bottle was thrown out, hitting the middle-aged man in Tsing Yi at the feet. The spilled wine immediately stained his clothes. The middle-aged man in Tsing Yi was motionless, like a puppet.
"Go! Take off Pang Xin's head!" A hoarse female voice came from behind the bead curtain.
When the middle-aged man heard this, he couldn't help but trembled, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He had no idea where Pang Xin was now. The news from Xi Zuo was that Meng Tian hadn't seen him since his army entered the city.
Return via Pangxin.
It was definitely impossible for Xizuo to know where Pang Xin was, because Pang Xin followed Wang Chan's 20,000 elite cavalry eastward to Linzi within less than a cup of tea after leaving the city.
But this middle-aged man didn't dare to say no. He knew the tricks of the woman behind the bead curtain very well. If he said no now, he would be the first to be decapitated in the next moment.
"What? You can't do it?" The husky female leader began to become elegant, even a little excited, like a cat seeing a mouse.
The middle-aged man in Tsing Yi suddenly turned pale when he heard the woman's words, and said repeatedly: "The villain can do it, the villain can do it!"
"Can you really do it? Then go ahead. I want to see Pang Xin's head within ten days! Otherwise," the woman said with a smile.
Although the woman did not say what would happen otherwise, the middle-aged man in Tsing Yi who had seen it with his own eyes countless times and even executed it with his own hands knew very well what it meant.
"Resign, villain!"
The middle-aged man in Tsing Yi didn't bother to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead and hurriedly left.
The sound of wine being poured was heard from within the bead curtain, and it was obvious that the woman behind the bead curtain had taken the wine bottle again and started drinking by herself.
a long time.
"Can you rescue that Zhao Wangxie and those idiots?" The woman's voice came out from behind the bead curtain again.
After a while.
"Difficult!" A vague male voice sounded in the lobby. I could only hear his voice, but I saw someone.
"Is it difficult? So there is still a way?" The female voice behind the bead curtain suddenly started to stir.
There was silence in the lobby, as if the woman's words were not heard.
"Why should we save a useless person, a bunch of idiots who only know how to fight for power and profit?"!
