General Qin

Xiaohuang County.

Located dozens of miles north of Chenliu City, the city wall is not high, only about three feet. However, the city has a large population, and it is a relatively large city near Chenliu.

On this day, the gates of the city of Xiaohuang County were closed tightly, there were soldiers patrolling nervously on the city walls, and there were all kinds of speeches in the city, making people panic.

Nothing less than others, all because the Wei capital Daliang was besieged by the Qin army.

The nearby Chenliu city fell into the hands of the Qin army within a day. How could such a situation not make the Wei people in Xiaohuang city worried.

In particular, a Wei man who fled into the city brought a message.

It is said that a Qin army started to go north from Chenliu, and it seemed to be heading straight for Xiaohuang.

Xiao Huangling stood on the city wall, looking into the distance.

In the mountains and forests, there seems to be a black flag looming.

"What can I do for it, what can I do for it!"

He sighed, panicked and at a loss.

At this moment, someone shouted: "There are chariots! There are chariots!"

Xiao Huangling was startled, looked up and saw a four-horse chariot rolling towards him.

There is no flag on the chariot, but judging from the shape of the chariot, it must be the chariot and horses of the Qin people.

"Magistrate, do you want to shoot the arrow?" Someone exclaimed.

Xiao Huang Ling hurriedly stopped and said: "Wait a minute, the other party only has two people in one car, and they are not coming to attack the city. Let's see what the person in the car has to say first?"

The chariot stopped a hundred meters away from the city. The middle-aged man standing on the chariot looked at the condition of the city wall and was relieved to see that the other party did not shoot arrows rashly.

He got out of the car slowly and walked towards the city gate.

"Who is coming?"

"I am a Gaoyang alcoholic!"

Xiao Huangling was stunned for a moment, he knew that Gao Yang was one of Chen Liu's family members.

Isn't Gaoyang drunkard just a drunkard in Gaoyang?

However, the visitor was full of Wei sounds, not from Qin. Even if he came sitting on a Qin army chariot, the people on the city wall were relieved. In addition, the other party came forward alone, and the guards couldn't help but put down their bows and arrows. .

"What's the purpose of the visitor?" Xiao Huangling asked knowingly.

Li Shiqi laughed loudly and said, "I came here to save the life of the lord, and I also came to save the life of Xiao Huang Mancheng!"

...

In the mountains and forests outside the city, thousands of Qin soldiers sat on the ground to rest.

Three Qin generals stood at the edge of the forest.

After seeing Li Shiqi being hung on the city wall.

Zhao Tuo clapped his hands and said, "It's done."

Yang Xiong still couldn't believe it: "That sour alcoholic, can he really say that he surrendered to Huangcheng? If he fails to surrender, we will attack the city with this thousand people."

Zhao Tuo smiled and said, "Brother Yang, don't worry, there should be no accidents. I didn't just listen to Li Shiqi alone, so I asked you to ask Zuo Shuzhang for orders in a hurry."

"Before that, I asked the little yellow man in Chenliu City. I know that this little Huang Ling is really not a strong character. He has a good personality and cherishes his life. Even the little Huang Ling's position was obtained by bribery."

"How could such a person die for the sake of Wei Guosheji? I think Xiao Huang's city can be defeated without a fight. If successful, this lobbyist can save the lives of my soldiers."

Yang Xiong nodded repeatedly.

"That's true. The law of war says, 'Firstly, attack the enemy, then attack the enemy, secondly attack the army, and then attack the city'. We sent the drunkard into the city, which can be regarded as an attack on the enemy, which is in line with the law of war."

Zhao Ben on the side also nodded.

Only those Qin soldiers in the woods who wanted to make meritorious deeds were full of depression.

Qin Shang made the first contribution. If Little Huangcheng surrendered without a fight, they would have no military merits at all, and it would be a waste of time.

This is where the ass decides the head.

If Zhao Tuo only had the title of doctor or lower, he would definitely think about how to fight and kill, and make military achievements with his head.

But now Zhao Tuo, Yang Xiong, Zhao Ben and others, who are the titles of public servants, unless they beheaded thousands of people in a big battle and rely on the theory of profit to upgrade, otherwise the simple head is of little use to them.

If you have reached the rank of doctor and above, if you want to upgrade the rank as soon as possible, naturally you should attack the city quickly.

Zhao Tuo asked the military judge to calculate that before Chen Liucheng surrendered without a fight, they could share some military merits. But because Wei Bao burned the food and grass in the city clean, the strategic goal was not achieved, and the credit was not much.

Zhao Tuo and Yang Xiong wanted to be promoted to nobles on this basis, and their thousand-man team had to capture at least three cities like Xiao Huang alone.

Of course, if the attack is a slightly smaller city, the credit will be reduced again. If they acted with a large army, the number of captured cities would have to be doubled on this basis.

So in order to make meritorious deeds and get promoted as soon as possible, Yang Xiong asked for orders to attack the city, and Huan Zhao sent him to attack Xiao Huang.

Half a day passed quickly, and Yang Xiong became obviously impatient.

It was his first time on the battlefield, and it was his first time to lead an army, so he was naturally anxious. After seeing it for a long time, there was no response from the city, so he couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Did the drunkard be killed? Let's just sit here, wasting time. If Xiao Huang Ling takes advantage of this time to recruit young men from the city to defend the city, then we will miss our opportunity in vain."

Zhao Tuo rolled his eyes, Yang Xiong was still too impatient.

Even if they didn't send lobbyists into the city and directly raided and attacked the city, it was impossible to attack immediately, and they had to make siege weapons, and the time was enough for the other party to prepare, so there was not much difference.

"Open! The city gate is open!"

Zhao Ben yelled, and pointed to the little Huangcheng in the distance.

Everyone quickly looked over, and they really saw the gate of Xiaohuang City was wide open, and someone came out with a flag.

At the same time, the Wei flag on the top of the city was also removed.

Little Yellow City surrendered without a fight.

Yang Xiong slapped his thigh hard, and shouted: "Hahaha, I, Yang Xiong, can take down this city without a single soldier. I'm really amazing!"

The corner of Zhao Tuo's mouth twitched.

He rubbed his thigh and really wanted to say to Yang Xiong, brother, next time you pat your thigh, can you pat yourself, it really hurts.

But Zhao Tuo was relieved that he was right.

This little yellow city was his touchstone for Li Shiqi.

Facts have proved that even if Li Shiqi stepped onto the stage of history more than ten years earlier, his persuasive ability should not be underestimated. Persuading a small city to surrender is really like finding something out of a pocket.

Little Yellow City surrendered without a fight, although the soldiers at the bottom didn't get the credit.

But Zhao Tuo and Yang Xiong directly increased their experience bar by one-third without the loss of their soldiers.

As long as they take down two more cities of this size alone, they can be promoted to five doctors.

Even Zhao Ben, who is also the Lord of the Five Hundreds, has gained a lot of military merits, and is getting closer and closer to the title of public servant.

...

When Chen Liucheng and Huan Zhao received the military report from Xiao Huangcheng, they were stunned: "What? Then Yang Xiong sent a lobbyist into the city, and made Xiao Huang surrender without a fight?"

Naturally, Huan Zhao can also get credit for his subordinates attacking cities and territories, but now this record in front of him makes him feel very uncomfortable.

You know, the cronies he sent out to attack the surrounding weak cities have not sent back any news. Then Yang Xiong and Zhao Tuo took down the powerful Little Huangcheng in one day.

This comparison makes people uncomfortable.

"It's Zhao Tuo, right? That guy Yang Xiong definitely doesn't have such ability, it must be Zhao Tuo's idea!"

"Is it necessary to persuade you to surrender? Heh, since you have such ability, then I will give you another credit, so that you can be promoted to the fifth doctor as soon as possible."

"Send someone to take over Xiao Huang, and at the same time send an order to Yang Xiong's department to move his army eastward and capture Wai Huang!"

"Hmph, that Wai Huang Ling Zhang Er is a famous person in the Wei Kingdom, I want to see if you, Yang Xiong and Zhao Tuo, can persuade him to surrender?"
