"Your Majesty, please send troops immediately to seize Suiyang, Xingyang, and Chaoge before Xiang Yu arrives! Write a letter to King Qi and Peng Yue and ask them to attack Pengcheng as a response!" Li Zuoche said nervously.

"Without further delay, the army set out overnight, and all the troops advanced according to the original plan. Yuan Sheng set out to see King Qi and Peng Yue, and at any cost, he was able to hold back Xiang Yu!" This is the magic weapon to deal with Xiang Manzi.

"Han* was granted the title by Madam Lu. Now he has been expelled by the new King of Han Zheng Chang and is homeless. The king also wrote a letter to him, recognizing his throne, giving him soldiers and horses, and letting him fight for the land of Han! Weakening Xiang Yu's power

!" Yuan Sheng then offered another strategy, all of which were related to diplomacy.

"The most important thing right now is to capture Xingyang. Xingyang is located between Hangu Pass and Pengcheng. It can be attacked or defended. Xiang Yu would not dare to attack Guanzhong without Xingyang!" Wang Ao still had the same strategy as before.

"I personally went to Xingyang to persuade Zhang Liang and others to surrender!" Wang Zhu knew that without Lu Pheasant to interfere, Zhang Liang and Xiao He would be difficult to deal with. It may be a situation that cannot be conquered for a long time.

The armies set out overnight, racing against time, and rushed forward. Wang Zhuxiao stayed overnight, and three days later, he crossed the Yellow River and approached Suiyang. According to the battle report from the front, Xiang Yu helped Zheng Chang to annihilate the Koreans in South Korea, which delayed his trip.

Still hanging around in Wancheng Daidai. Wang Zhu was overjoyed.

Shen Yang is depressed these days. Why are everyone coming after him? Lu Pheasant, Wei Bao, Sima Yi, and now another violent Qin attack. Am I so easy to bully? In fact, it's not that Shen Yang is easy to bully, but

Suiyang is the thoroughfare of nine provinces, with convenient transportation and extending in all directions. It is a battleground for military strategists. He suffered the disadvantage of the region!

Just two days after the cleanup, the curses started again under the city walls. The Qin army and Qin generals besieged Suiyang. During this period of Shenyang's dealings with Wei Bao, Lu Pheasant was exhausted. More than half of the soldiers were killed or injured, and the food and grass were exhausted.

, the city wall was in dilapidated condition, riddled with holes and broken teeth everywhere, and there were not many arrows, lime powder, tung oil, and stone mills left to defend the city. The Qin army was stronger than the previous invading army, and this battle was simply impossible to fight.

Shen Yang only hoped that Xiang Yu, the great savior, would arrive in time. Who would have thought that Xiang Yu would neglect his duties and go to fight against the Koreans?

Wang Zhu left Zhang Han, Xin Sheng, Wang Ling, and Wu Pu to attack Suiyang. He personally led Qin Ao, Qin She, Dong Yi, Zhang Ping, Zhang Yi, Luo Shen, and the surrendered general E Qianqiu, and crossed the Luoshui River to attack Xingyang.

.

Xingyang City stands proudly under the scorching sun.

Xingyang City is located on the south bank of the Yellow River. It was the capital of the Zheng State in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Xingyang City of South Korea during the Warring States Period. To the north is the mighty Yellow River, to the south is the South Korean capital Yangzhai, to the west is the fortified city Suiyang, and to the east is a strategic location

Kaifeng is surrounded by mountains, covered with greenery, and surrounded by water, making it difficult for people and horses to cross. Barren hills, swamps, and silt traps are all over the suburbs, and the terrain is very complex.

As soon as Wang Zhu's army arrived, he immediately besieged the city on all sides, and then sent people to the city to deliver a handwritten letter from Lu Pheasant, asking Zhang Liang and Xiao He to come out of the city and surrender, and promised that each of them would be granted a fiefdom of ten thousand households.

Zhang Liang and Xiao He had long heard that Lu Pheasant had married the King of Qin. He always thought that Lu Pheasant was forced by the King of Qin, so after seeing the letter, he immediately tore it up, cursed the envoy and put it back. Wang Zhu went to see Lu Pheasant with a frown on his face.

Pheasant, Lu Pheasant felt very uncomfortable after seeing this, so he volunteered and said, "Your Majesty, tomorrow I will go to the city in person to persuade them to surrender. In addition, you will send someone to secretly send a message to my two brothers, asking them to lead troops out of the city and surrender!"

"It's easy. I sent an envoy to the city to contact the city's elite! Are you afraid that your brother is unwilling to surrender?"

Lu Pheasant thought to himself, you are wrong about this. My two brothers are the most greedy and fearful of death. As soon as they heard that the soldiers were approaching the border, they would definitely run to surrender.

The next day, Wang Zhu organized his army outside the west gate and went to the city in person to persuade them to surrender. Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, Xiao He, Lu Wan, Fan Kuai, Ji Xin, Lou Fan and others were all at the top of the city preparing for battle.

When Wang Zhu saw that everyone had arrived, he said one by one: "You have no choice but to surrender."

"King Qin, you don't have to waste your efforts. We have no intention of surrendering at all. Unless you let Madam Lu go, we brothers can still consider it!" Xiao He also wore heavy armor and seemed to be planning to hold on.

"I have not imprisoned Mrs. Lu. She is very good here and can come and go freely. If you don't believe me, I will take her out and see for yourselves." Wang Zhu waved his hand back, and the Chinese army split like a wave, and a wave appeared.

Human wall, a beautifully decorated car drove out of the human wall lane, and a gorgeous and beautiful woman stepped out of the car, it was Lu Pheasant!

"Mrs. Lu, it's really madam!" There was a commotion on the top of the city.

"Mr. Xiao He, brother Zifang, are you okay?" Lu Zhi looked at the people on the tower and said calmly, "Ying'er, are you okay?"

When Zhang Liang saw Lu Zhi's expression as usual, he was puzzled. The lady looked good. Could it be that what King Qin said was true, or that the lady was up to something else? Looking behind King Qin, Li Shiqi, Wang Ling and other old acquaintances were all seen.

Being there, I felt a faint uneasiness in my heart.

"King of Qin, please let your wife go. The matter of surrender can be discussed!" Zhang Lianglai used a childish tactic to delay the attack. Lu Pheasant said: "Brother Zifang, I am willing to marry the King of Qin. The world is full of troubles, and the King of Qin is generous and benevolent.

, wise and intelligent, only he can reunify the six countries and eliminate the tyrant Xiang Yu, so you surrender!"

Fan Kuai shouted: "No, madam, you were forced. It must be King Qin who threatened you, right, madam?" Lu Zhi shook his head: "No, no one forced me, it's all the truth. Duke Pei is dead, and there is no one in the world except King Qin.

Lord Ming, everyone is rebelling because they hope to get rid of the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty and everyone can live a good life. The King of Qin has promised that after reunifying the six countries, he will govern the country with Confucianism, so that everyone can enjoy wealth and live in peace and contentment. Isn't it good?

?”

The generals at the top of the city looked at each other in confusion. Basically no one believed what Lu Pheasant said. Everyone thought that Lu Pheasant was forced to say these words under the power of King Qin.

"Unless Madam can come into the city alone, we won't believe it." Zhang Liang's plan came to mind.

Wang Zhu is in a dilemma, let Lu Pheasant into the city. What if Lu Pheasant is acting with him these days? Wouldn't it be like letting the tiger go back to the mountain? If he doesn't let her in, he will have to attack hard. There are soldiers on the city wall.

, the helmets are bright, the rolling stones and wood are piled up like mountains, the black smoke is rising, and the smell of tung oil is pungent. The preparations have been done well. It may take ten and a half months to attack, and it will be terrible if Xiang Yu steals the retreat.

Lu Pheasant turned his head and said quietly: "Your Majesty, let me go into the city to persuade you to surrender! I will definitely be able to persuade my younger brother." Wang Zhu's heart was churning like waves, he thought about it, and finally made up his mind to take a risk.

Still worth it.

"Be extra careful, we are waiting for you outside the city!"

Lu Pheasant didn't expect Wang Zhu to agree so readily. She guessed that Wang Zhu might be suspicious, but she didn't expect him to be so decisive. Little did she know that this was also the method of treating a dead horse as a living horse.

"Open the city gate and let the lady enter the city!"

Li Shiqi suddenly came over and said, "As soon as the city gate opens, take advantage of the situation and rush in." Wang Zhu quickly waved his hands and whispered, "No, the lady will be shot to death." Li Shiqi said nothing, but thought in his heart.

, What a woman's kindness! Zhang Liang shouted again from the top of the city: "Please, Your Majesty, step back five miles before we open the city gate!" Wang Zhu and Li Shiqi looked at each other and smiled bitterly, "I have thought of this a long time ago.

"Li Shiqi sighed; "Zhang Liang is not a fuel-efficient lamp!"

"Give me my order, the rear team will become the front team, retreat five miles, and I will cut off the rear in person!" Wang Zhu was afraid that Zhang Liang would use a trick to attack, so he personally led 5,000 cavalry to cut off the rear.

Lu Pheasant walked back to the city with three steps.

Zhang Liang saw that the Qin army had indeed retreated for several miles, and ordered the city gates to be opened. Lu Pheasant urged her war horses, stepped onto the drawbridge, and entered Xingyang City. The city gates slammed shut behind her.

"Madam is back, madam is finally back, we have a backbone again -" the soldiers raised their arms and shouted, boosting their morale.

Lu Pheasant's first thought was his biological son: "Where's Ying'er, where is my son?" Zhang Liang ran down from the top of the city, wiping his sweat and said, "I'm scared to death. I didn't expect King Qin to fall into the trap so easily. Madam.

Are you okay? My lord, rest in the city and I will take my wife to see you."

Lü Zhi followed Zhang Liang, Fan Kuai, Xiao He, Cao Shen and Chen Ping to leave the city and return to the city. Other civilian and military generals still stood guard at the city to prevent the Qin army from sneak attack.

When he saw Liu Ying, Lu Fei cried bitterly and asked her maid to take Liu Ying away. Zhang Liang hurriedly came up and said, "Madam, you are really auspicious. If you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later. Now the brothers in Pei County

We have hope again. Recently, General Han Xin has done well in the Zhao Kingdom. Zhang Tong and Xia Yue were defeated by him. His troops have reached 60,000 to 70,000. Now they are on the front line of the Xiang Kingdom. I have sent a letter a few days ago, and I am ready to follow

We will attack Qi State together -"

Lu Pheasant interrupted Zhang Liang's words and sighed and said: "Brother Zifang, Mr. Xiao He, Fan Kuai, you have all misunderstood. I do not intend to make a comeback. The purpose of my coming to the city this time is to persuade you to surrender to the King of Qin.

"

Zhang Liang and the other three people couldn't believe their ears, wondering if they had heard it wrong because of the tinnitus caused by the fever. Fan Kuai rushed to say, "This is impossible. The violent Qin Dynasty is debauched and immoral and is our mortal enemy. Didn't Madam hate them before?"

Is it to the bone? Why should we surrender again? Besides, the Qin people have killed so many of our brothers, how should this battle be settled?!"

Lu Pheasant was the sister of Fan Kuai's wife. She treated Fan Kuai as one of her own and said sternly: "Then what if we killed so many Qin people? How can we keep it in mind that there will be immortals in the war? There are only interests in the world."

It is eternal, friends and enemies are fleeting.”

Zhang Liang smiled bitterly and said, "But what benefits can King Qin give us, and what benefits can he give to the world? The world has been suffering from Qin for a long time, and people's minds have changed. If we follow King Qin, we can only die."

Xiao He said, "You are right. Xiang Yu is the strongest soldier in the world. If Madam has no intention of winning over the world, she might as well surrender to the Overlord of Western Chu again."

Lu Zhixin said, even if I die, I will not go to Xiang Manzi to beg for food. As Xiang Yu's subordinate, I charge at the front and enjoy my life behind. It is simply a turtle bastard's life.

"We didn't suffer enough from Xiang Yu before, how can we go back again?"

Zhang Liang also shook his head: "I recently heard that Xiang Yu disregarded morality and openly killed the Yi Emperor, invaded Changsha, and blamed the King of Qin. Everyone in the world is angry and dares to be angry but dare not speak out. It seems that this man is unwilling to get it.

The world is under heaven. In my opinion, the one who has the best chance of taking over the world is you, madam. As long as we can work with General Han Xin, we can conquer the land in the north in no time!"

"Brother Zifang, the King of Qin has recently implemented benevolent policies in Guanzhong, which has angered the people. The people in Guanzhong have turned from hating the violent Qin to being close to the violent Qin. The King of Qin has constant illnesses and sufficient food and grass. He is the only one who can be with him.

Xiang Yu likes to fight, but he likes killing. After losing the support of the people, he will never be able to defeat the King of Qin. Our army cannot survive in the gap between the two powers. If we have to choose one side to surrender, I would rather join Qin than Chu!" Lv Zhi said in a tone of voice.

firm.

"Have you made up your mind, madam?" Zhang Liang's face was ugly. He had never been so gaffe-like in front of Lu Pheasant and Liu Bang.

"If everyone is still willing to listen to my wife, then I will give the order to surrender to the King of Qin!" Lu Fei frowned and stood up.

"Well, there's nothing else to say to Zifang!" Zhang Liang shook his head. Lv Zhi said happily, "So, brother Zifang, you agreed?!" Zhang Liang didn't speak, which was regarded as acquiescence. Xiao He was tactful and expressed his position immediately.

; "Mrs. Chen Wei is following your lead!" Fan Kuai looked at Zhang Liang, then at Lu Pheasant, and said angrily, "It's really useless to surrender without fighting. Forget it, you all surrendered, I can go there alone.

Just surrender, if Pei Gong hadn't died peacefully, how could things have turned out like this!"

Chen Ping and Cao Shen were more treacherous and philistine, especially Chen Ping, who had bad conduct, was greedy for money and lust, and would mess with whoever had more money. Chen Ping bowed his waist and said, "In this case, I will go to the city wall immediately to pass the order!" Lu Pheasant

Said: "Forget it, let's all go together, I'm afraid some generals can't figure it out and start causing trouble!"

Zhang Liang kept a gloomy face and said nothing! Lu Pheasant thought that he couldn't figure it out and was in a depressed mood, so he didn't care too much. A group of people took a car back to the gate.

Lu Pheasant ascended the city! The generals thought she was here to boost morale and defend the city together. Unexpectedly, Chen Ping stepped forward and announced in public: "Madam has decided to surrender the entire army to Qin. Please put down your weapons and open the city gates."

, invite King Qin to enter the city!"

Everyone was stunned. Lu Wan, Ji Xin, Lou Fan and others immediately expressed their dissatisfaction. Ji Xin snorted and said: "How is this possible? Pei Gong died at the hands of the Qin people. In the end, the general will avenge Pei Gong. How can

Can bend down to serve as a thief!"

Lu Wan and Liu Bang had the deepest feelings. She burst into tears and said with choked sobs, "Madam, if you are afraid of death, go out of the city by yourself. We will fight to the death with the violent Qin."

Lou Fan patted the quiver behind him: "As long as I still have one feathered arrow, I will never give up the opportunity to kill King Qin!"

"Okay, that's good, I don't agree to surrender to the Qin Dynasty either!" Zhang Liang suddenly stood up from behind Lu Pheasant.

"Mr. Xiao He, what do you say!" Lu Pheasant asked coldly, tilting his head.

Xiao He smiled and said: "I have already said it, but Madam is the one who follows your lead!"

"Fan Kuai, Chen Ping, Cao Shen! What do you think?" Lu Pheasant turned around and looked at the three of them with sharp eyes. Fan Kuai was unwilling to surrender, but he was close to Lu Pheasant and could not turn on outsiders.

"Madam says you surrender, then just surrender. Madam has the final say here!"

Chen Ping and Cao Shen also said: "Yes, we all listen to Madam!"
Chapter completed!
