On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month in the ninth year of Xianchu, Chen Hongyi and Liu Jian met outside the south gate of Ye City and prepared to attack the city. Chen Hongyi put on a red robe and came to the front of the battle line and shouted toward the city: "Hurry and tell Hu Jian to open the city and surrender.

I think he is a man, so I will spare his life. I will pardon all the officers and soldiers of Yecheng who are willing to surrender to me."

There was a sly smile from the city: "Old man, Hu Jian is waiting for you underground. You'd better go to Huangquan Road to recruit traitors."

When Chen Hongyi was confused, two heads were thrown down from the city. Liang Jun recognized them as the heads of Hu Jian and Hou Dong. Chen Hongyi couldn't help but sigh, drew his sword and pointed at the city: "Attack the city". Liang Jun rained arrows.

When they went to the top of the city to greet them, the Qin army on the city also began to fight back, and rocks, rocks, and logs were thrown down one after another.

Chen Hongyi was unwilling to make a loss-making deal. Seeing that the city was well prepared, he led his troops to retreat. Before retreating, he braved the rain of arrows and rolled wood and rocks to pick out the head of Hou Donghu Jian. Chen Hongyi took Liu Jian and other generals to the Zhanghe River.

While looking for trees, they carved their bodies and made coffins, and then chose a high ground to bury them.

Chen Hongyi and Liu Jian took off their helmets and poured wine to pay homage to their former rivals. The army also raised white sails to pay homage to Hou Dong and Hu Jian. They also used bullock carts to pull large stones and inscribed "The tomb of Hou Dong, the former king of Ai of Qin, and the former general of Qin."

"Hu Jian's Tomb". When the defenders of Yecheng saw this from the city, they all secretly wept. Only Hou Tianjing laughed at Chen Hongyi, Liu Jian and others for being pedantic and even setting up a memorial monument for the enemy.

While Chen Hongyi paid homage to Hou Dong and Hu Jian, he sent scouts to investigate the real situation around Ye City. At this time, the people, soldiers and civilians in Ye City learned that Liang Jun outside the city had mourned Hou Dong, Hu Jian, and two people, and they all rushed to the top of the city to watch. Hou Tianjing couldn't stop him.

They had no choice but to order the killings, and there was chaos in Yecheng. A man riding a white horse and leading dozens of people unexpectedly rushed through the south gate and ran to the Zhang River with a white flag.

Chen Hongyi's men persuaded him to take advantage of the chaos to enter the city at this time, but Chen Hongyi stayed still and continued to pay homage to Hou Donghu Jian. The man on the white horse got closer and closer, and was stopped by Liang Jun. He threw away the spear in his hand and led dozens of people behind him on their knees to

Climb over to the graves of Hou Dong and Hu Jian.

Chen Hongyi nodded: "There are many martyrs from Yanzhao. Let them worship their late master. Don't embarrass them. After the worship is over, it is up to them to stay or leave."

The man who was riding the white horse looked up and said: "The villain Zhu Yaoshi has thanked you, sir. If you don't dislike me, please accept us so that we can avenge the king of heaven and the general."

Chen Hongyi walked over to help Zhu Yaoshi up, but his subordinates stepped in front of him: "My lord, please don't trust them easily. If they come to assassinate you, your subordinates will die to atone for their sins!" Chen Hongyi dismissed the crowd: "

How did the people in Yecheng know that I would pay tribute to these two people and erect monuments to commemorate them? You couldn’t have known beforehand that these people rushed out with wounds on their bodies. After being injured, they could still maintain the respect and etiquette for their late masters and pretend to be different.

of"

Zhu Yaoshi and others burst into tears. Chen Hongyi wanted to help Zhu Yaoshi up, but Zhu Yaoshi waved his hand: "I want to worship the King of Heaven and the General before saluting you."

Chen Hongyi did not force himself and waited for the dozen or so people to finish paying homage to Hou Dong and Hu Jian. Liu Jian sighed at the side that there were many loyal people in Qin: "To recruit subordinates, you have to recruit people like Zhu Yaoshi

Man, it’s really rare to have such loyal subordinates.”

After Zhu Yaoshi knelt down to worship his two deceased masters, he saluted Chen Hongyi and Liu Jian: "Zhu Yaoshi has met these two adults, and we hope that you will give us the opportunity to avenge our deceased masters." The guards nearby immediately told Zhu Yaoshi: "This is

It’s our Royal Highness the King of Han and General Chen, the Cavalry General.”

Pharmacist Zhu was shocked and couldn't believe that the old man in front of him was Chen Hongyi: "How is this possible? Didn't they say that General Chen was a god descended from heaven, with great strength and height of nine feet, and arms as thick as a basin?"

Chen Hongyi smiled slightly: "I am Chen Hongyi. I don't know if he is the same as the one you mentioned. I only know that your general Hu Jian is my only opponent in this life. I have been fighting for decades, and this is yours."

General Hu almost killed me in battle."

When these words came out, Zhu Yaoshi and the Qin soldiers who escaped with him were greatly moved. They never expected that the commander-in-chief of Liang Jun would give Hu Jian such a high evaluation. Liu Jian looked at Zhu Yaoshi carefully and found that Zhu Yaoshi had right

There was a big red birthmark under his ear. Zhu Yaoshi had a square face, big ears, a tall nose, and a tall body. He couldn't help but say what he thought of: "You have the appearance of an emperor." As soon as he said this, everyone was excited.

They couldn't help but burst into laughter. This Zhu Yaoshi in front of him was just a pawn who surrendered out of the city. The King of Han actually said that he had the appearance of an emperor. Zhu Yaoshi himself almost laughed: "His Royal Highness, King Han, is joking. I have been called Hong since I was a child."

Zhu'er is just a pariah. Your Highness is teasing a villain like this. I don't dare to accept it."

Liu Jian also laughed immediately: "I just said it casually according to the photo book. Don't mind it, let's prepare to continue to attack the city."

Zhu Yaoshi waved his hand as soon as he heard about the siege: "His Royal Highness the King of Han does not know that Hou Tianjing has betrayed the country and seized the throne, and colluded with the Black Banner Khanate. Now the Fire Dragon Clan cavalry has gone south from Fan Yang, plundering everywhere, and is heading towards Ye City. If we

If you attack the city now, you might be attacked from both sides."

Chen Hongyi touched his beard: "If this is the case, we can't attack the city yet. Only by getting rid of the Fire Dragon Cavalry can we concentrate our forces to capture Ye City. We fought against the Fire Dragon Cavalry last year, and their combat power is comparable to ours."

, but they often disobey orders and like to plunder property and people, so they are often ambushed by our army. However, their actions are scattered and they rarely gather the army together. It is impossible to annihilate them in one battle. They can only spend many days to fight with them.

They are exhausted. But in Yecheng, we have to trap them so that they can't get out, so that we don't have any worries."

Everyone was puzzled. Chen Hongyi pointed at the Zhang River, and everyone immediately understood. Chen Hongyi looked at Zhu Yaoshi: "I have decided to divert water from the Zhang River to fill Ye City. What do you think? The people in this city may not be able to escape the disaster."

Zhu Yaoshi pointed at Ye City: "Most of the people in Ye City were killed by Hou Tianjing a long time ago. A group of them fled out of the city before. Now there are not many alive. In order to avenge the people and the King of Heaven, the Zhang River was diverted to flood the city.

If we capture Yecheng early, we might be able to rescue some people."

The rest of the people also agreed, and Chen Hongyi closed his eyes for a long time before giving the order: "Diversion of water into the city!"

Hou Tianjing could clearly see from the top of the city that four teams of Liang Jun were digging ditches and building dams to divert water, and another team was patrolling the city edge. Hou Tianjing knew that they would definitely not be able to defeat Liang Jun in a field battle, and it was very likely that a white flag would be hung on the city after they left the city.

Hou Tianjing had no choice but to send people to urge the Black Banner Khanate to reinforce troops. Pajaqili, the Great Khan of the Black Banner Khanate, only focused on plundering goods and people along the road and walked very slowly.

In five days, Liang Jun built a two-foot-high dam two miles outside the south gate of Ye City and filled it with water, waiting for Chen Hongyi's order. Chen Hongyi looked at the desperate Hou Tianjing at the top of the city and watched most of Liang Jun

After going east, he shouted: "Dig a dike and flood the city!"

The roaring water rushed out from the breach, broke open the south gate of Yecheng and poured in. Yecheng suddenly turned into a marsh. The city gate was opened, and many people fled out with wooden basins. Some soldiers also leaned on their shields and floated out of the city to escape.
