Chapter 126 Breaking the Yiqu City
Yiqu City.
If something in this era can give people a sense of security the most, then the tall city walls are undoubtedly the best among them.
When the King of Yiqu stood on the city wall more than three meters high and overlooked the enemy under the city, the number of the 50,000 Zhao troops seemed not so scary.
If it was on the plain, the 50,000 Zhao army would definitely be a number that made King Yiqu scared.
But now...
If it weren't for the fact that King Yiqiu knew very well how corrupted the country had caused his incompetent son, King Yiqiu felt that he was completely restless.
After all, Qin's troops will arrive in a few days at most.
What are the Zhao people doing in a few days?
Several cloud ladders were created, symbolically attacking the city for two or three days, and leaving behind two or three thousand corpses, that's all.
Of course, it is impossible for Yiqiu State to not pay a price. Poor military force may even make the casualties of the Yiqiu Army almost the same as those of the Zhao Army.
But, so what?
The reinforcements from Qin State are coming soon!
King Yiqiu's view was opposed by his eldest son Huaidiao.
"Father, the Qin army was defeated by the Zhao army many times. Even if the troops were sent, it would be difficult to deal with the Zhao army."
King Yiqiu narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Wei Ran is a man with great ambition and talent. Although he also has some leadership abilities, he is indeed far from his father Zhao!"
Huai Diao looked puzzled: "The father still..."
King Yiqiu smiled and said, "But this time, the deputy general who assisted Wei Ran is Bai Qi. Although Bai Qi has only become famous in recent years, I have been in Xianyang for many years and have heard of his reputation. This person can be compared with generals such as Chuliji and Simacuo! With this person fighting, it should not be difficult for Qin to defeat Zhao in this battle!"
As he said that, King Yiqiu turned his head to look at Huai Diao and said meaningfully: "Some things have passed, and I don't want to say anything more! Now, I just hope to protect Yiqiu City and guard this family business passed down by my ancestors! Huai Diao, do you understand?"
Huai Diao's body trembled slightly, and he hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Here."
Huai Diao raised his head and looked towards the west.
It was dusk and the sunset was brilliant.
In the West, a pillar of thick smoke rose into the sky, which was extremely conspicuous.
Huai Diao lowered his head, his expression became more respectful and terrified.
Night is inevitable after all.
Although it was almost midnight, the King of Yiqiu did not rest.
In the wide palace, bronze crane lamps stretched out from the beams and pillars everywhere, and flames flashed above the heads, shining on every corner of the hall.
He was sitting in front of the table, writing a letter to the Ganquan Palace in Xianyang.
“……I have been watching for several days, the country has grown up in Yiqu and the military is slackening, which surprised me.
I ordered someone to secretly investigate and found that Huai Diao used more than 70% of Yiqu to feed him with more than 70% of his age, which really made me angry.
I have decided that after the eldest son of you and me, I will be appointed as the new King of Yiqiu. I will be my father and can live with you forever in Ganquan Palace.
By then, both sides of Qin and Yiqu will be true brotherly countries. Qin is the elder brother and Yiqu is the younger brother, and you and I will be free from worries!"
After writing this letter, King Yiqiu breathed a sigh of relief and called his confidant: "Let Xinying send it to Ganquan Palace!"
The letter was taken away, and King Yiqiu did not rest immediately, but sat there quietly with his eyes feeling sad.
He missed her in Ganquan Palace a little.
Although, when she saw her, she was already a milf.
But every day I spent with her was so wonderful.
The birth of the two children has added a lot of joy to them.
King Yiqiu suddenly felt a little regretful.
Compared with her, is it really that important to compare the country's destiny and the battle for dominance of the world?
This Yiqiu King was dissatisfied with the Yiqiu land under his feet that raised him for the first time.
I really want to return to Xianyang early.
King Yiqiu went to bed with his clothes.
Half dreams and half awake, a loud shout of killing came, and there was a fierce sound of weapons intersecting each other.
King Yiqiu was awakened and stood up from the couch at once.
The gate of the palace was opened, and the general of the Yiqiu's personal guard rushed in.
"Master, no, Prince Huai Diao launched a rebellion!"
King Yiqiu, who still had a bit of sleepiness, suddenly woke up and showed a shocked look on his face: "Huai Diao rebelled? How dare he?"
The personal guard general rushed up and grabbed King Yiqiu's arm: "Your Majesty, it's too late. The rebels are in great power. I am now bringing the king...ah!"
A sharp arrow broke through the air and penetrated the back of the personal guard.
A loud laugh came from the door of the hall: "Father, your reaction is still as slow as ever."
Surrounded by many Yiqu soldiers, Huai Diao walked into the hall.
King Yiqiu held the body of the general's personal guard in his arms, and was shocked and angry, staring at the Huai Diao with blood dripping from the sword: "Hui Diao! I asked you to supervise the country, but did you betray me?"
Huai Diao shook his head, took out a letter from his arms, and looked at King Yiqu with mocking words: "Dear Father, who left Yiqu for ten years, and who betrayed me first? Do I need to read this letter to Ganquan Palace in Xianyang in public?"
This letter is naturally the letter that King Yiqiu just wrote.
King Yiqiu took a deep breath and tried his best to make his tone much more stable: "Huaidiao, you are my child, what's the matter..."
King Yiqiu suddenly rolled around with a lazy donkey and avoided an arrow shot from Huai Diao.
King Yiqiu was shocked and hid directly in Liangzhu, shouting: "Huaidiao, you really want to kill your father!!!"
Huai Diao was also surprised and stared at someone beside him and said, "Wu Shi, what are you doing?"
A trace of splendor flashed in Wu Shiwu's eyes and he whispered: "June, if the king is captured by Zhao State, Zhao's father will not kill him. This is a future trouble! It's better to do it all the time, and it's solved now!"
Huai Diao hesitated for a moment and felt that what Wu Shiwu said seemed to make sense.
In this era, the kings who were destroyed would be exiled, but they would rarely be killed directly.
Huai Diao gritted his teeth and said, "Give me all the money and kill him!"
King Yiqiu, who was behind Liangzhu, heard these words clearly, and his soul was dying: "I am the one who died in heaven!"
At this moment, a sound like a bell suddenly exploded at the entrance of the hall.
"Everything will dodge me!"
Huai Diao turned his head and found that a tall general of Zhao had led a team of Zhao soldiers to forcibly break away from Huai Diao's subordinates and came to Huai Diao.
"You are the young master Yiqu Huai Diao? I am General Lian Po of Zhao, and King Yiqu? The master said that he would capture him alive and go back to celebrate the merits!"
Huai Diao's face was stiff and he exchanged a look with Wu Shi's wife, but he had no choice but to point to the beam where King Yiqu was hiding.
Lian Po was overjoyed and shouted to the deputy general beside him: "Chen Jing, go and catch him!"
Under the palace, there is a red light in Yiqu City, and the sound of killing is everywhere.
Countless Zhao soldiers rushed back and forth in the city, reaping their lives at will.
The flower of killing blooms in the darkness, and the fire is like a shadow.
