Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

Chapter 475: Surrendering the Zhao Army Alone

The 200,000 Qin troops were insurmountable in front of the southern Great Wall, but it was much more convenient to go from north to south from the direction of Zhaodu. When Yang Ming led the Yulin Guards to march all the way in a hurry, it only took one day and one night to defeat them. We have arrived in front of the Great Wall in the South.

"How many people have come from the Qin army?" Yan Ju asked the sentinels who had returned from inquiring about the news on the Great Wall in the south.

"Not many. It looks like there are less than 3,000 people. Judging from the flag, it is also the flag of the Yulin Guards in the Dragon and Tiger Forbidden Army." Sentry Cavalry replied.

"There are less than three thousand people?" Yan Ju frowned when he heard such a report. What does this kind of behavior mean? Are you sure that they will inevitably surrender?

"Yes, there will never be more than 3,000 people." The sentry knight replied affirmatively.

"It's interesting. There are only three thousand people. I want to go and see for myself to see what the famous Qin Guards Commander is going to do." Yan Ju said and walked out of the hall. Yang Ming only brought three thousand cavalry here. , seems to have determined that they will surrender. If understood in this way, it seems to be ignoring them, but what if it means another way? Does it also show Yang Ming's sincerity?

For a moment, Yan Ju couldn't figure out the reason, but since he couldn't figure it out, there was no need to think about it. Anyway, he would know the answer soon.

Yan Ju, who walked out of the Great Wall with a group of soldiers and horses, was about to meet the Qin army, but someone beside him said: "General, is there anything wrong with us going to meet the Qin army like this? I heard that Yang Ming of Qin State is best at Just take your life in front of the battle."

"Do you think we need Yang Ming to use such methods? Don't take yourself too seriously." Yan Ju replied to the man and urged the horse forward. At this point, he really didn't have much Yang Ming. Qualifications for showing off tactics.

Yan Ju and a group of soldiers did not go far when they met the Qin army coming from the capital of Zhao. For a moment, two local hostile soldiers and horses met on the plain.

"Yan Ziqi? It seems that Yan Ju, the commander of the Southern Great Wall, is right in front of us." Yang Ming, who noticed Zhao Jun's flag, urged his horse to the front of the formation and said loudly: "Please come out and see General Yan."

As Yang Ming shouted, Zhao Jun made way, and a short-bearded general in his forties or fifties rode his horse to the front of the formation. It was Yan Ju.

Yan Ju looked at the young man in front of the battle, so young that it was difficult to connect the person in front of him with the person in the rumors. But at this moment, Yan Ju naturally did not care about anything else, but asked directly: "Yang Are the guards here?"

"Surrender. Now that the King of Zhao has surrendered, he has also sent an order to all the armies in the Zhao Kingdom to surrender. It is time for the Zhao army on the southern Great Wall to surrender as well." Yang Ming said.

"That's it..." Yan Ju said subconsciously, but in the end he swallowed the words. There were some things he didn't want to say at this time.

But even though Yan Ju didn't finish his words, Yang Ming could hear Yan Ju's meaning, so Yang Ming smiled lightly and said: "I'm here to accept surrender, not to attack the city, so why lead too many troops? Besides, if I bring too many troops and horses, I am afraid that the Zhao troops on the southern Great Wall will not feel at ease even if they want to surrender."

Hearing this, Yan Ju had a look on his face. As Yang Ming said, if Yang Ming really led many Qin troops to come at this time, they would really be worried about surrendering. After all, the Qin army was really worried about killing prisoners. With a long criminal record, Qin Jun has never had much credibility in this matter.

Yang Ming only brought his personal guards to ask Zhao Jun to surrender. At least his sincerity was guaranteed, but then again, this could not completely reassure Zhao Jun. After all, once Zhao Jun surrendered, Wang Jian's two men would be killed. An army of 100,000 people can cross the Great Wall of the South. In front of an army of 200,000 people, Zhao Jun's size is still not enough, but Yang Ming's attitude can always make people feel more at ease.

Regarding the matter of surrender, to be honest, Yan Ju didn't have much psychological burden. Even King Zhao and Li Mu surrendered, so why should he persist and serve the country with all his loyalty? He is not from Zhao. He came to Zhao from Qi to make money. Now he has blocked Wang Jian's 200,000 troops from the southern Great Wall for two months. He is already worthy of the salary that King Zhao gave him. As for more? To be honest, even if he devoted himself to serving the country, it would not be his turn.

"Yang Hujun was joking, but please show me the king's edict." Although he has made up his mind to surrender, he can't show too much eagerness in terms of face. There is still some superficial work to be done, so the procedure is But things cannot be done carelessly.

Of course, Yang Ming had been prepared for this. He took out a silk book directly from his arms. Now that he even had King Zhao and his seal in his hands, it was naturally easy to get such a thing.

Yan Ju took the silk book and looked at it carefully. His serious look seemed to be afraid that there was something fake in it. But it was already this time, and everything was just a formality. But since Yan Ju wanted this face, Yang Ming Just give it to him. When the overall situation is difficult to shake, Yang Ming has always been very generous when it comes to small details.

Compared to taking down the Great Wall of the South without any bloodshed, bringing in Wang Jian's 200,000 troops, and cooperating with Yan Ju to save the last trace of face was nothing.

"It's the king's seal." After a long time, Yan Ju put away the silk book and said.

"Do you have any questions now?" Yang Ming asked.

"No, Yang Hujun, please come with me." Yan Judao, looking at Yang Ming with a lot of kindness in his eyes. After all, face is mutual, Yang Ming gave him face, and he didn't People who don't know what is good or bad, especially in this situation.

Under the leadership of Yan Ju, Yang Ming and others quickly arrived under the Southern Great Wall. Compared with the side of the Southern Great Wall that faced the Qin army's attack, the north side of the Southern Great Wall looked much simpler and could only be regarded as A permanent military camp. After all, the southern Great Wall was built only to defend against enemies coming from the south, such as the earliest Wei State and the subsequent Qin State.

Under the leadership of Yan Ju, Yang Ming directly entered the Zhaojing Great Wall. As for the possible threats, they were not considered by Yang Ming at all. At this point, there may be some people among the Zhao army who want to take the opportunity to kill Yang Ming. However, there will only be more people who want to protect Yang Ming. Those scattered people who want to be loyal to the country are only a minority in the face of the huge number of Zhao soldiers.

Loyalty is always scarce, otherwise rulers from ancient times to the present would not value loyalty so much. Moreover, among the current Zhao army, even if they want to be loyal ministers, they can't find anyone to whom they can be loyal. After all, even King Zhao They have all fallen. In this era, the concept of looking at the king and the country separately has not yet been born, and the complicated relationship between them is not understood by most people in the world.

Under Yan Ju's summons, all the generals in the Zhao army were summoned to the meeting hall. Everyone who walked into the hall looked at Yang Ming who was sitting on the main seat, with doubts on their faces. Although they had guesses in their hearts, they More people were still unsure. When Yan Ju introduced Yang Ming's identity to everyone, everyone looked even more shocked.

Yang Ming actually appeared directly in front of them and among the Zhao army. How dare he?

"If you have any objections, you can raise them." Yan Ju reminded him loudly, looking at his subordinates who all looked shocked.

Even if you have objections, you don’t dare to raise them at this time, right? No one could tell Yan Ju's attitude at this time. In the midst of everyone looking at each other, Yang Ming said directly: "Qin's attack on Zhao this time is just to destroy the State of Zhao, not to destroy the Zhao people. As a country, , the State of Zhao no longer exists, but the people living in the State of Zhao still need to live. "

Yang Ming's words were unusual, at least for this era. However, after listening to the generals of the Zhao army, after the initial confusion, they felt that the more they tasted, the more interesting they became.

The reason why they were hesitant to surrender was not because they were loyal to Zhao and King Zhao to the point of not caring about life and death. It was just the reputation of the Qin army for their brutality and the rumors of Qin's tiger and wolf country that made them worried, but Yang Ming's words directly broke through their worries.

Yes, the Qin State wanted to conquer only the Zhao State, not the Zhao people. I heard that the original Zhao people in places such as Taiyuan and Yecheng, which were captured by the Qin Army a few years ago, are now living well, right? ? It's just that they changed from the original Zhao people to the Qin people.

People are very good at convincing themselves, especially when they already have a tendency in their hearts, they will find various reasons for themselves to convince themselves and convince themselves of what they want to believe.

These generals at this time are.

"The general is willing to surrender." Just when everyone was still thinking about how to surrender while preserving the last trace of face, someone had already walked out of the column, came to Yang Ming, and knelt on one knee in front of Yang Ming.

"It's a pity that he got the better of him. He really can't be judged by his appearance. In the past, wasn't he the loudest one who said he would be loyal to the country? Now he is so straightforward." Everyone who was no stranger to each other subconsciously thought, Prepare to follow closely. Since you can't get the first one to show up, you can't let Yang Ming remember it because of hesitation.

Just when everyone was about to take action, the man who was kneeling on the ground to express his allegiance suddenly jumped up. Amid everyone's shocked and confused expressions, he took out a dagger from his arms and pointed it towards Yang Ming. Stab away.

What does he want to do? Are you going to kill us?

However, although the jet-black dagger could be said to have sealed his throat with blood, it was unable to move forward even an inch when it landed three feet in front of Yang Ming. Only then did the horrified people see that around Yang Ming, there was an unknown source of blood. It has been shrouded in a layer of Gangqi-like existence.

The assassin had obviously tried his best, but in front of him was a world that could not be overcome.

"Bold."

"Get this guy."

Amidst the crowds of people cheering and rushing toward the assassin, Yang Ming struck out with a palm. The surging palm force crossed the void and knocked the assassin away instantly. When the relatively burly body flew upside down, It suddenly disintegrated, and in the blood, everyone was trembling with fear.
