The villain system of Mingyue in Qin Dynasty

Linji City.

The Qin army from Handan County went south and surrounded the Wei capital three times inside and outside.

Wei Wang Jiu stood on the city wall, looking at the neatly arranged Qin army in the distance, and sighed: "Zhang Han is indeed a famous general in the world! However, I still don't understand, why doesn't Zhang Han go to Xingyang?"

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. In the city at this moment, the soldiers are serving their lives and the people are bowing their heads. As soon as the reinforcements from Qi and Chu arrive, the danger of Qin's siege will be easily resolved."

Beside him, Wei Wang Jiu's counselor comforted him. Although Zhang Han's behavior was indeed strange, it was useless to worry about it at the moment.

"I hope so!" He said softly, but no one could hear the sadness underneath.

"Your Majesty, the situation is not desperate yet. Both Qi and Chu are big countries and still have strength. There are 50,000 Zhao troops in the north who can also provide reinforcements. What's more, if they are under Xingyang City, Zhang Han's army will become a A lone army can retreat without a fight.”

Listening to the comforting words of his counselor, Wei Wang Jiu felt better.

"Where is Wei Bao now?"

King Wei asked suddenly.

"The Marquis is supervising the provision of grain and grass in the rear at the moment. However, the Qin army is strong at the moment, and the Marquis may not be able to come back for a while."

"It's okay if you don't come back!" Wei Wangjiu said. If Wei Bao was in Linji at this moment, that would be what worried him the most.

"Your Majesty, the wind is strong on the city wall. You should go back to the palace to rest early!" the counselor advised.

After Zhang Han's army crossed the White Horse, the army moved all the way east, killing Wei Jiu and Xiang Ta's troops. Pursuing all the way east, the Wei army retreated all the way, and finally retreated to Linji, the last stronghold that the Wei state could rely on.

At this moment, in the Central Plains, south of the Yellow River, the situation is in chaos. There are defeated armies and bandits everywhere, and the people are miserable. Ever since the Qin army besieged the city, King Wei's general Zhou Shi went to Linzi and Dingtao to ask for help. King Jiu of Wei has been supervising the defense and has not slept for several days.

Wei Wang Jiu said: "I can't sleep."

"My King, you can't collapse! It's better to go back and rest!" The counselor persuaded him again and again, and Wei Wang Jiu finally returned to his palace.

The moonlight hangs in the Wei Palace.

Wei Wang Jiu originally wanted to take a nap on the bed, but when he opened his eyes again, it was already late at night.

"Have you slept all day?"

Wei Wangjiu sat up half-consciously. Half-conscious and half-awake, he faintly heard a noise outside the palace.

"what happened?"

The palace door was quietly opened, and the person who walked in was not Wei Wang Jiu's bodyguard, but his most trusted advisor.

He walked to Wei Wang Jiu's bed, lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, the envoy from General Zhou Shi is back!"

"Have the reinforcements arrived?" Wei Wang Jiu asked with a happy expression on his face.

There was some darkness in the palace, and Wei Wangjiu couldn't see clearly the counselor's face, but he could only hear him saying: "Your Majesty, you'd better meet him in person!"

As he spoke, he waved to the outside, and a soldier with broken armor and bloodstained face came in, knelt down in front of Wei Wang Jiu's bed, and cried.

"Your Majesty, General Zhou Shi was killed in battle!"

"What's going on?" Wei Wangjiu was so shocked that his whole body almost stood up and he asked stiffly.

"Your Majesty, after the death of King Tian Dan of Qi, there was civil strife in Qi. General Zhou Shi went to ask for help, but they could not send troops at all. Later, the general turned to Dingtao and asked for help from Chu General Xiang Liang. But General Zhou Shi led When Chu's reinforcements tried to rescue Linji, they were ambushed halfway by Zhang Han's cavalry. General Zhou Shi was killed on the spot, while General Xiang Liang retreated to Dingtao. At this moment, his life or death is uncertain."

"how so!"

Wei Wangjiu murmured. Zhou Shi was a general of the Wei State, proficient in the art of war, and loyal to the Wei State. When he first heard the bad news, Wei Wang Jiu almost couldn't believe it was true.

"Your Majesty, now that things have come to this, we should prepare to break out!" the counselor advised.

"Breakout?" Wei Wang Jiu looked at the counselor beside him in surprise and said, "There are still 200,000 troops in front of Xingyang City. Why should we retreat?"

Hearing this, the counselor's face became even grayer and he said, "Xingyang's army has been defeated."

"Defeated? How is it possible? That's an army of 200,000!"

"The Emperor of Qin personally visited Xingyang, and the morale of the Qin army was greatly boosted. The siege of Xingyang was lifted in one day, and the coalition forces of the princes retreated in half a month. At this time, His Majesty's whereabouts are unknown, and the coalition forces of the princes are scattered. Linji has become an isolated city."

After hearing this, King Jiu of Wei remained silent for a long time, and finally said: "No, I can't break through the encirclement."

"Your Majesty, it doesn't have to be like this. No matter whether we go east or south, Qi and Chu still exist. We can save our strength and come back one day."

Wei Wang Jiu shook his head, looked at the soldier below, and said: "The Qin army has blocked the siege of Linji. Breaking through? Easier said than done."

"Your Majesty, you are the king of Wei. We have been ministers of Wei for generations, and we will fight to the death to protect you from the city." The counselor handed over his hand.

"Even if we can successfully break through, what will happen to the people in this city?" Wei Wang Jiu said.

"Kings!"

Wei Wang Jiu sighed and said: "They followed me, which is rebellion in the eyes of the Qin army. If we escape, the Qin army will definitely massacre the city. No, I can't leave! The Wei people have shed enough blood. We can no longer let them suffer innocently."

Wei Wang Jiu almost said the last sentence through gritted teeth.

"Your Majesty." The counselor wanted to persuade him again, but Wei Wang Jiu had already made up his mind, so he could only sigh helplessly. "Go and send envoys to the Qin camp. As long as they are willing to let go of the people in this city, I am willing to surrender."

"I... obey your order!"

The Wei envoy left the city overnight. Wei Wang Jiu summoned all the generals in the city and gathered in the main hall of the Wei Palace, waiting for news from the envoy.

The Qin army did not keep Wei Wang Jiu waiting, but within a few hours, the Wei envoy rushed back.

"How's it going? What did Zhang Han say?"

When Wei Wangjiu saw the envoy, he asked eagerly.

"I didn't see Zhang Han, but the guard general of the Qin camp said that if the king is willing to surrender, the Qin army will not massacre the city, and the generals in the city will have a way out."

"Your Majesty, Zhang Han is not here, the Qin army agreed so easily, be careful of fraud."

Wei Chen on the side walked out and held his hand.

King Wei nodded and asked, "Who is in charge of Qin camp?"

"This is Qin General Shejian." The Wei envoy said with his hand.

"This man is so brave and strong, why did he agree so easily?" Wei Wangjiu continued to ask.

"He said it was given by Zhang Han before he left."

Wei Wang Jiu smiled and suddenly realized: "Did Zhang Han expect this? You go down and get ready! Kaicheng surrenders."

"Kings!"

In the palace, a group of generals knelt down and said, "If we surrender, what will you do, Your Majesty? There is no way the Qin army will let you go."

Some radicals even said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to risk my life to escort your Majesty out of the city and protect our Wei State."

Wei Wang Jiu stood in front of the throne, waved his hand gently and said, "You all get up!"

"Your Majesty!" The generals were still waiting to say something, but they were interrupted by Wei Wang Jiu's long voice.

"Get up!"

It’s helpless! It’s unwillingness! There is nothing you can do in anger!

Wei Wang Jiu said: "More than ten years ago, the Qin general Wang Ben flooded the beams, and the Wei Kingdom fell. I also changed from a king to a petty official who monitors and bullies the criminals. My only ambition is to Restore our great state of Wei. We have no choice but to do this. Qin has regained its ambition in the world. Although you are ministers of Wei, you don't have to die with me."

"Kings!"

Everyone bowed down and the whole palace was in mourning.

……..

The mountains are lush and the streams are flowing slowly. Under the sunlight, it is crystal clear.

A group of defeated soldiers hurriedly fled into the mountains. The leader was wearing ordinary soldier clothes. When he saw the stream, he threw himself next to the stream, took the water with his mouth, and drank until he was full.

After drinking, the man half sat up. On the side, Jing Tianming, the giant of the Mo family, helped him up and said, "Your Majesty, please rest for a while!"

There are rocks everywhere beside the stream. Fusu fled all the way, but now he was exhausted and could hardly stand. Fortunately, Jing Tianming was beside him and helped him, so he didn't fall down.

"Thank you very much, Brother Wang."

Fusu sat under a big tree with Jing Tianming's support. All around, the leaders and personal guards of the Mo family were standing guard, guarding against possible attacks at any time.

"I think how high-spirited I was when I sent 400,000 troops to command all the princes. But now..."

Fusu sat on the ground and sighed.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to be like this!" Gao Jianli was on the side and advised: "Although Xingyang is defeated, the defenders are still there. As long as your Majesty returns to the capital and raises his arms, he can gather hundreds of thousands more troops to meet Ying Ziyi. anti."

Fusu nodded and said: "Thanks to everyone from the Mo family this time. After returning to Chendi, I will definitely reward everyone from the Mo family."

"Your Majesty, you don't have to be like this. We are assisting your Majesty for the sake of the world's justice." Gao Jianli said with his hand.

Fusu smiled and said: "I, the Qin Dynasty, have clear distinctions between rewards and punishments, and I understand your intentions. But even if you don't want it, I can't help but give it to you."

Everyone in the Mo family was a little moved, but Fusu's face turned a little gloomy at the end.

"What worries your majesty?" Gao Jianli asked.

"In order to protect me, the King of Chu led his troops alone to intercept the pursuers. I wonder what's going on now?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Xiaozhi has already gone to inquire for the news. He has unparalleled skills and will get the news soon."

Gao Jianli had just finished speaking, but he saw figures flashing in the distance. Robber Zhi came quickly and knelt down on one knee in front of Fusu.

"Xiao Zhi, how is the situation ahead? Is it bad?"

Gao Jianli looked at Robber Zhi. He was dressed in cloth. There were many tears at the moment and there were scars on his face. It was obvious that the journey was not very peaceful.

Thief Zhi shook his head and said, "It's not bad, it's extremely bad."

"Xiao Zhi, now is not the time to joke." Gao Jianli looked at Zhi Zhi and secretly wondered when it was, and he still had the time to make wisecracks.

"I'm not joking." Robber Zhi said with a serious face, without any hint of laughter: "This is the situation ahead at the moment. After Zhang Han defeated the Qi and Wei coalition forces at the foot of Handan City, his troops divided into two groups. All the way. Rushing to aid Julu, he led his main force southward. After our army was defeated at Xingyang City, Zhang Han also launched an attack. His troops surrounded Linji, defeated the Chu reinforcements, killed general Zhou Shi, and forced Wei Wang Jiu to self-immolate. Then Zhang Handong Then, the Chu army was defeated in Dingtao. In this battle, Zhang Han killed all the famous Chu generals, including Chu general Xiang Liang. After that, Zhang Han led 20,000 cavalry to the north to fight with Julu. The Qin army joined forces and surrounded the Zhao army. Qi was in chaos, and the two kings were fighting for the throne. Although King Zhao has rushed back to the plains, there are no reinforcements from outside and lack of food and grass at home. I am afraid that surrender will be a matter of time."

"What about King Chu? Is there any news about him?" Fusu asked eagerly.

"The King of Chu has lost his battle to intercept the Qin soldiers!"

"What!"

Hearing the news, he was overcome with great grief. Coupled with the physical deprivation caused by days of running away, Fusu almost fainted.

Fortunately, Duan Murong was nearby and hurriedly applied the acupuncture, and Fusu managed to recover.

He helped Su Youyou wake up and said: "The matter has come to this, there is nothing I can do!"

Gao Jianli cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, cheer up!"

Fusu waved his hand, his words full of sadness, and said: "All the princes have been defeated, and my army of 200,000 has been wiped out. Even if we can return to Chendi, it will be difficult for us to recover."

"Your Majesty, let's go to Chu Di." Looking at Fusu's depressed look, Jing Tianming said.

"Chu Di?" Fusu looked at Jing Tianming and said doubtfully.

"Yes, we still have a chance if we go to Shao Yu's place."

Fusu smiled helplessly and said, "There are only 8,000 people in Dong Chuhou's side, so what's the use?"

Fusu knew the military strength of the various counties and princes under his jurisdiction very well, so he had no hope at all.

At this time, a whistle sounded and roared, startling everyone under the tree. Everyone has been fleeing for a long time, and they are very familiar with this sound. It is the signal sound of Luo Shen summoning helpers.

Gao Jianli said: "The Qin army is chasing us. You protect His Majesty and leave first. I will protect the rear."

"I'll stay too," Jing Tianming said.

The situation was urgent, and a group of Mohist disciples escorted Fusu away, while Gao Jianli and Jing Tianming held swords behind them, and together with Fusu's personal guards, they resisted the killer of Luo Yu.

In order to chase Fusu, Luo Wang used almost all his strength. Along the way, in order to protect Fusu, the leaders of the Mohist family left behind one by one the Luo Wang swordsmen who blocked the pursuit.

In the end, only Fusu was left, hurriedly heading deep into the forest.

The woods are dense and dense, with only a few remaining sunlight. Fusu ran for a long time and stopped, holding on to a tree, panting.

There were pursuers behind him and there was no way out. Fusu's mood at this moment was extremely desolate.

There was a sound in the woods.

"who?"

Fusu said almost desperately. However, the figure that walked out of the forest made him feel at ease.

"Miss Tian Yan, why are you here?"

Tian Yan looked indifferent, wearing a white cloak and holding a long sword, and came to the young master Fusu.

Before Fusu could say anything, the sword in Tian Yan's hand had already been unsheathed and pointed at Fusu.

Tian Yan's eyes flickered, and Fusu calmed down as he pointed his sword at him.

"So you surrendered to your 14th brother a long time ago?"

"A humble concubine is a minister and has never betrayed the king."

Tian Yan's voice was firm and he retorted to Fusu's words.

Fusu was about to speak, but he heard Tian Yanying speak in a deep, slow and sad voice. "But why do you betray your ministers?"

At this moment, Fusu's face turned completely cold.
