Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

Summer in the North comes very late, but it leaves very early. In the past, Li Qi only thought that the summer in the North was a good existence, and people did not have to endure the pain of high temperatures for too long, but this year , but Li Qi felt that this damn summer was too short.

If the summer heat can continue, the Qin army's attack will inevitably be slowed down by the high temperature. But now, the heat has dissipated, autumn has gradually dominated the entire northern border, and there is nothing that can stop the Qin army's attack.

Li Qi had never thought about how to defend Yanmen County. To be precise, it was not that he did not want to defend Yanmen County, but that he was really powerless. When Dai County, the most powerful of the three northern counties, was defeated by the Qin army, At the next moment, Li Qi knew very well that the northern border could no longer be saved, especially since he also received some unknown news. Zhao Du had already made up his mind to abandon the three northern counties.

Even King Zhao doesn't want his own territory, so why do they have to fight so hard, especially since the Qin army's performance during the occupation of Daijun seems to be pretty good. Although it can't be said that it has done no harm to the people of Daijun, it still At least it is not as cruel as imagined. The situation in Dai County is before us. The common people at the bottom may not know the twists and turns, but these wealthy families in Yanmen County can get some information.

It can be said that although the Qin Army did not launch even a small offensive against Yanmen County in the past period, the war has never stopped. However, in the war between the Qin Army and Yanmen County, It is not a war between iron and blood, but a war about human hearts.

In the past period of time, the determination of Yanmen County to resist the Qin army has been shaken. At least the determination of a considerable number of people has been shaken. If they can live, who is willing to fight to the death?

The most important thing is that the connection between the three northern counties and the hinterland of Zhao State has been completely blocked by the Qin army. Even if they want to escape, they can't do it. Zhao State can't go back, but the wolf tribe in the north is Di Fan, these people have been fighting against the wolf tribe since their ancestors. In the end, only Daijun in the northern border of Zhao State became the current northern border. If it were not for Zhao State's war with Qin Army in the past few years If we have to shrink our strength in the north, the current northern border does not only have three counties: Dai County, Yanmen County, and Yunzhong County, but also Jiuyuan County, making up the four northern counties.

More than a hundred years of fighting have already made these people and the wolf clan become real mortal enemies. It is absolutely impossible for these people to defect to the wolf clan, but except for the wolf clan, they can escape. Where are you going? It seems that there is only Yan State.

But, what is Yan State? Now Qin's military strength has extended to the north and is bordering the territory of Yan. Qin and Yan are now real neighbors. Who can say whether Qin will take action against Yan one day? allow.

Flee to the State of Yan and wait for the surrender of the State of Yan to surrender again? It seemed like there was just one more surrender, and there didn't seem to be much difference in anything else.

However, anyone with any brains knows that the difference is huge. If they surrender now, they can still get some benefits in exchange for what they have now. After all, if Qin wants to quickly control the northern border, it still needs to surrender. Their strength is needed, but if they escape to Yan State and wait until Yan State surrenders, then they will have no leverage at all. The Qin army may not even hesitate if they want to kill them.

"But, everyone can surrender, but I can't." With his thoughts racing, Li Qi, who could neither resist nor surrender, felt extremely uncomfortable.

How did I get to this point? Thinking of his second brother, his mother, and the Li family, Li Qi thought about it but couldn't find a reason to surrender. However, if he didn't surrender and resist, he wouldn't have even a trace of confidence. No, that was Yang Ming, and it was Yang Ming who had an absolute advantage in military strength. He couldn't fight even if he risked his life.

"It's not easy to be an official." Li Qi, who had no choice but to advance or retreat, sighed.

"What do those who want to squeeze into the officialdom think when my uncle says something like this?" As Li Qi sighed, a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old walked into the hall as if there was no one else around.

"You kid, didn't your kid stay with your great-grandmother in Wu'an County? Why did you come to the north?" Li Qi looked at the young man in front of him and couldn't help but be shocked. The person who came was none other than him. The second brother's grandson, Li Zuoche, is only over fifteen years old now, so his actual age is sixteen. Among the Li family, he is the most talented person and is expected to rival his grandfather Li Mu.

"Of course I'm here to help you solve your problems, uncle." Li Zuoche sat down in front of Li Qi and said without any surprise.

"You kid, don't look for trouble. Who knows you are here?" Li Qi asked. Once Li Zuoche's identity is leaked, it will be quite troublesome for the Qin army to attack.

"There shouldn't be anyone here." Li left the lane.

"That's okay. Go back quickly. Yanmen is not a place where a kid like you should come." Li Qi said repeatedly.

"Uncle, standing here, I really have a reason to come." Faced with Li Qi's urging, Li Zuoche said calmly.

Although he is young, he has a calm demeanor that makes it easy for people to forget his age. As a figure who will stir up troubles in the world twenty years later, the fifteen or sixteen-year-old Li Zuoche is already about to show his prowess. .

"I am the only one who can help you solve your uncle's current predicament." Li Zuochao said.

"You?" Li Qiguo looked at Li Zuoche hesitantly. Although he knew that his second brother's grandson was very extraordinary and could keep the lintel of the Li family from falling, Li Zuoche was still too young after all. How much knowledge can there be?

"How can my uncle look down on me because of my age? Yang Ming, who has forced your uncle to the point of no return, was already the number one warrior in the North when he was sixteen years old, and when he was not yet twenty, he was already A famous general recognized by people all over the world. "Li Zuochao.

Yang Ming is no stranger to Li Zuoche. He has always regarded Yang Ming as his idol and the goal he needs to chase.

"I admit that you are a good boy, but someone like Yang Ming..." Li Qi shook his head when he said this, and continued: "He is too strong and very lucky. Such a person is better than Qin Guo Bai Qi back then. Don’t give in, let alone you, I’m afraid I won’t see a similar person again in the next thirty years.”

"Uncle, I didn't come here to hear you attack me." Li Zuoche complained slightly and then said, "Uncle, you might as well listen to my plan and see if I can solve your current predicament."

"Okay, I'll just listen." Since everyone is here, he might as well listen to what kind of flower this careless boy can tell, Li Qi thought in his heart, forcing Listen to Li Zuoche's advice for yourself.

"Find a confidant to tie you up, uncle, and just surrender to the Qin army. As long as you, uncle, don't scold Yang Ming without fear of death, nothing unexpected will happen." Li Zuochao.

"Is this the good idea you said can help me solve my current dilemma?" Li Qi questioned, he originally had a little expectation.

I was really sick and went to the doctor. Li Qi smiled bitterly in his heart, and had no intention of blaming Li Zuoche. After all, in order to consider him, the child came from Wu'an County to the northern border which was heavily blockaded by the Qin army. One thing, there are a few young men at Li Zuoche's age who can do it.

"Isn't it a good idea? My uncle is not Yang Ming's opponent, but he doesn't want to die for his country, but he is afraid that his surrender will affect the family, so he will have no way forward or retreat." Li Zuochao.

"I asked my uncle to find a confidant, kidnap you and surrender to the Qin army. This way, you don't have to fight, and you don't have to worry about your reputation. After all, uncle, you were also kidnapped. You wanted to resist Qin, but you were unable to save yourself. , who can blame you?" Li Zuoche continued.

"That's it?" Even though Li Zuoche's reasons were very good, Li Qi still felt ridiculous. Such a thing felt ridiculous no matter how much he heard it. There were hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Yanmen County alone. Is the rise and fall of hundreds of wealthy families such a trivial matter to Li Zuoche?

But sometimes, even so-called national events are just such a joke.

"Uncle, just tell me if it's okay." Faced with Li Qi's doubts, Li Zuoche was confident. He believed that his great-uncle would agree with and implement his suggestions.

"Okay, I admit that what you said is indeed a feasible method, but is it..." Li Qi still hesitated. The method is a good one, but isn't it too shameless?

"It's really shameless if others know about this kind of thing, but if others don't know, everything will be good." Li Zuoche, who knew what Li Qi was worried about, said directly.

"You're going to be great in the future." Li Qi thought for a long time and finally sighed. He had already made up his mind.

"Uncle, are you impressed by my wisdom?" Li Zuoche said with a bit of arrogance.

"Wise or not, I am not simple yet, but my shamelessness alone surpasses that of most people in the world. If a person can be so shameless, there will really be no taboos in what he does." Li Qi looked at Li Zuoche in front of him with a strange expression, and for a moment he just felt strange as to why there was such a freak in the Li family.

While a wonderful drama was brewing in Yanmen County, the Qin army had already penetrated deeply into Yanmen County, and then divided into three groups. Huang Teng led thousands of soldiers towards Ma Ma in the south of Yanmen County. They left for Yi and Shuo counties, one group was led by Meng Tian to the direction of the Great Wall in the north, while Yang Ming personally led the main force directly to Shanzhi City.
