General Qin

Chapter 473: All Dead

Qin Wangzheng twenty-five years (222 years ago), April 7th.

Zhao Tuo was wearing luxurious armor and a high crown on his head. He looked mighty and handsome. He walked out of the camp surrounded by Qin generals.

Outside the Qin camp, tens of thousands of Qin soldiers in black armor stood on the vast flat ground.

They lined up neatly, holding spears and halberds facing the sky, and looking forward with excited faces.

There is the most prosperous city in the world today.

It is also the city that they Qin people are about to conquer, Linzi!

Zhao Tuo walked out of the gate and stepped into the waiting chariot.

While the emperor was waving his whip, the wheels rolled forward, passing through the passage specially set aside for him and the generals in the army formation, reaching the front of the army formation, and facing Zicheng directly.

The chariot stopped, and he wiped it with his hand. He stood upright in the early summer wind and looked at Linzi quietly.

There, the city gate has been opened.

The monarchs and ministers of the Qi State in the city, the nobles and nobles, are about to come out of the city to surrender.

"In the past, Zhang Zi once said, 'There is no one who is strong in the world, and there is no one who is rich and happy with ministers, fathers and brothers.' According to what I saw when I entered the city, there are 70,000 to 80,000 households in Linzi City, with a population of hundreds of thousands. Walking on the road in the city, I can only see the car hubs hitting, people rubbing shoulders, the crowds are bustling, and it is extremely prosperous, which shows that the ancients were sincere and did not deceive each other. This place is really the largest city in China."

Li Shiqi walked to the side of Zhao Tuo's car, looked at the majestic city ahead, shook his head and sighed.

As the one who said he would surrender to King Qi, he should follow beside the general and enjoy the glory of King Qi bowing his head and surrendering, just like when Wang Ben asked Zhao Tuo to follow the chariot.

Zhao Tuo nodded in agreement with Li Shiqi's exclamation.

Qi has always been rich and prosperous, facing the sea and having a large city wall, and Linzi is a big city among big cities, which is far incomparable to the inland cities of Qin State.

But now, the people from Qin who came from Guanzhong in the west are about to conquer this largest city in the world.

Zhao Tuo couldn't help sighing as he watched the figure slowly appearing in the gate of Linzi City.

"A city with a high wall and a thick wall will never be able to defend the country."

"The death of Qi is to die in peace."

In Zhao Tuo's eyes, the reason why the state of Qi has fallen to where it is today, is really in response to Mencius's saying, born in adversity, but died in peace.

Since the Five Kingdoms defeated Qi, Qi has fallen into a state of failure. No matter what the other six countries are doing, they will never intervene.

The people of Qi are self-contained, play their own games, do not participate in the wars of other countries, and have no sense of crisis. While enjoying peace and happiness, they sit and watch the five kingdoms of Shandong being swallowed by the Qin people one by one.

However, after more than forty years of Qi people's peace and happiness, they suddenly woke up and looked around the world, but only Qin and Qi were left in the four seas.

At this time, the demise of Qi State is doomed.

Although Zhao Tuo's butterfly effect caused Qi to be awakened in advance by the people of the Four Kingdoms in this time and space, it was too late after all.

With the prestige of sweeping away the four kingdoms, Qin State defeated the Qi army in Zhencheng, then went south to swallow Chu State, and finally attacked Qi State with a strong momentum after sweeping up the remnants of the generation.

The people of Qi have not fought a war for decades, and from top to bottom, they have no war experience.

No matter how rich the people are, no matter how good the equipment is, no matter how much food and fodder there is, even if there are such passionate defenders as Tian Chong and Tian Dan, they will eventually be difficult to defeat the Qin army tempered from blood and fire on the battlefield.

If you can't win militarily, national subjugation is inevitable.

Just as Zhao Tuo and Li Shiqi sighed.

With the sound of bells and drums in the Qin army formation.

The last king of Qi in Linzi City also came out.

Compared with the humiliating scene of Wei Wangjia and Chu Wang holding the grass, leading the sheep to the grass after the city was broken, and the flesh was tied up.

Qi Wangjian surrendered the whole country when there were still more than 200,000 soldiers in Linzi City. The treatment given to him by the Qin army was naturally different.

In addition, Zhao Tuo intended to appease, so that Linzi and the remaining dozens of cities in Qi State could be accepted more smoothly, so Qi Wangjian retained the dignity he should have as a monarch of a country.

I saw Qi Wangjian sitting on a chariot, surrounded by attendants, moving forward slowly.

Qi Guo Xiangbang Tianjia, along with many ministers and nobles, lined up in two rows and followed the car.

Zhao Tuo stood on the car, posing as a winner.

The carriage came to the front, and saw Qi Wangjian wearing a purple suit, holding Qi Wangxi's seal, and walking tremblingly from the carriage.

Or it might be because of old age, or it might be because of staying in the palace all year round to drink and have fun, resulting in obesity, or it might be because of being too nervous at this moment.

In short, Qi Wangjian didn't step on it firmly, and rolled straight off the car, his chubby body turned twice on the ground.

Behind Zhao Tuo came a burst of low laughter from the soldiers of the Qin army. Although it stopped quickly, the piercing sound still reached the ears of the monarch and ministers of the state of Qi on the opposite side.

Among the ministers of the state of Qi, some mourned and wept.

Qi Wangjian got up from the ground in embarrassment, the expensive purple clothes he was wearing, and the gray hair on his head was stained with mud.

Holding the seal of King Qi's seal that was also covered in mud, he looked at Zhao Tuo on the chariot in front of him, showing a flattering smile.

"Chen Tianjian has met General Zhao. General Zhao is young and promising. He is really a famous general in the world."

Qi Wangjian surrendered the whole country, so he wanted to call himself a servant, which also represented a change in his identity.

As he spoke, tears rolled down Qi Wangjian's eyes.

He has claimed to be a widow for more than forty years, but today he wants to call himself a minister to a child. Even if Qi Wangjian is afraid of death, he can't help but burst into tears at this moment, thinking of his Tian family's foundation of Qi Kingdom for hundreds of years.

Behind him, Tian Jia and others also began to cry.

After crying for a while, Qi Wangjian bowed his head and held the seal of Qi Wangxi to present to Zhao Tuo.

"This is the seal of the 165-year inheritance of our Qi State, and it is dedicated to the general and King Qin."

Zhao Tuo nodded, and Li Shiqi beside him stepped forward to take it, which was regarded as formally accepting Qi Wangjian's surrender.

At this time, a black butt murmured from behind: "Chu and Yan are both 800 years old. How come Qi is only a hundred years old? Why do I think this country is so old?"

As soon as these words came out, Qi Wangjian's face was flushed, and he hurriedly lowered his head and did not speak.

Those Qi people in the rear also had a wrong expression.

Zhao Tuo shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Lord Qi. Since Lord Qi surrendered his entire country today, the two states will become one. Lord Qi and Tuo are both ministers of the King of Qin, so they will not treat Lord Qi badly. .Please also ask Qi Jun to get on the chariot and go, and go to Xianyang, my king will reward you."

"Thank you General."

Seeing Zhao Tuo's kind expression, Qi Wangjian immediately relaxed a lot.

He saluted Zhao Tuo again, and was about to step into a large safety car prepared by Qin Jun next to him.

The king of Qi surrendered and moved away from Linzi first to prevent any accidents in the city. Then, under the escort of the Qin army, he slowly traveled westward.

Zhao Tuo was going to let Qi Wangjian go to Puyang first, which is the base camp of the Qin army's attack on Qi, and there will be absolutely no problems.

Qi Wangjian will be there, and together with Dai Wangjia and Yan Wangxi who were escorted south from Zhaodi, they will go to Xianyang.

At that time, there will be a grand scene of the three kings entering the court. Presumably Qin Wangzheng will be very happy.

But at this moment, two ministers of Qi State rushed to the back of the team of Qi State's monarchs and ministers, their faces full of tears.

"My lord, why did you surrender!"

"Your Majesty, you abandoned Tian's Sheji, how can you be worthy of Tian's ancestors!"

The two ran and cried while crying.

"It's Doctor Jimo."

Li Shiqi's voice rang in Zhao Tuo's ears.

Zhao Tuo nodded, and raised his hand to stop the soldiers of the Qin army behind who were about to go forward to capture them.

I saw the Jimo doctors Tian Lang and Tai Shiwen rushing over, kneeling in front of Qi Wangjian and crying.

Qi Wangjian was embarrassed when he saw these two people.

In order to surrender to Qin Dynasty smoothly, he and Tian Jia ordered people to imprison Tian Lang, Tai Shiwen and Tian Dan brothers together.

Now that they have surrendered, the guards in the city will naturally no longer stand firm, so they let them out. Unexpectedly, these two people came here directly.

"General Zhao, the words and deeds of these two people have nothing to do with the widow..."

Qi Wangjian looked at Zhao Tuo in fear, fearing that Tian Lang and the others would drag him down and offend the people of Qin, so he quickly got into the car.

Seeing this scene, Tian Lang and Tai Shiwen cried even louder.

"My lord, how can you be worthy of the former king and the queen with what you have done today! The community of our Tian family has died in your hands, woohoo!"

Tian Lang looked up to the sky and yelled, he is a descendant of the Tian family, seeing the Tian family's death, he felt sad from his heart.

"Since the Tian family is dead, my Tian Lang should go with the country!"

As he spoke, he actually took out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed it fiercely into his own neck.

In an instant, bright red blood shot out.

Tian Lang's body fell to the ground, twitching, and it seemed that he couldn't survive.

The surrounding people exclaimed, and most of the Dukes of Qi burst into tears when they saw this tragic scene.

Tian Jia's face twitched, with tears in the corners of his eyes.

On the car, Qi Wangjian quietly picked up the curtain, watched the scene from the gap, and sobbed softly.

Tai Shiwen didn't have the will to die, but wept bitterly while hugging his friend's corpse.

Zhao Tuo sighed softly: "When a country is about to perish, one must die loyally."

"I didn't expect that this person with great ambition and lack of talent, who is full of nonsense, is actually a loyal man."

Li Shiqi looked at Dr. Jimo's body and sighed, but then he sneered and said, "These people are so sad for the death of the Tian family. I don't know when the ancestors of the Tian family usurped other people's country more than a hundred years ago. , is there such a scene?"

Zhao Tuo was silent, raised his head, skipped over the heads of these Qi people, and looked at the majestic Linzi city behind.

There, there are fireworks.

...

In the city of Linzi.

Tian Dan's expression was numb, and he walked past the panicked servants of Palace Qi.

Qi Wangjian was afraid that Tian Dan would disturb his surrender, so he lured him into the palace and put him under confinement. But he felt pity for Tian Dan's loyalty and did not kill him.

But today Qi Wangjian went out of the city to surrender, and the state of Qi was about to be destroyed. Naturally, those guards did not care about him anymore. Even the Qi general who was in charge of guarding admired Tian Dan's character and released him voluntarily.

"The king has surrendered, and Qi is gone."

Tian Dan whispered.

He did not go out of the city to find King Jian of Qi like Tian Lang and Tai Shiwen, nor did he go to his brother Tian Rong, nor did he intend to organize the Qi people in the city to rebel.

"That's just hurting the lives of people in Qi, and this gentleman will not do it."

Thinking of Da Sima's words, Tian Dan's eyes became more sad.

King Qi has already surrendered, so what's the point of Tian Dan calling people to rebel?

"It's a pity that from now on, there will be no Tian's country in the world."

Tian Dan muttered, walked to a solemn building, stopped and looked up.

Tian's Ancestral Temple.

This is the ancestral temple where the ancestors of the Tian family were worshipped and enshrined.

"Since I, Tian Dan, is a descendant of the Tian family with the surname Gui, I cannot fight to the death with the Qin people, but I also cannot be cowardly. Otherwise, how can I be worthy of the previous kings of my Tian family, and how can I be worthy of Da Sima!"

"Since the state of Qi is dead and the ancestral temple does not exist, our Tian Dan cannot let the people of Qin defile this place."

Tian Dan's expression was very calm. He found the torch and looked at the building in front of him again.

This is the glorious past of his surname Tian.

Tian Dan set fire to Tian's ancestral temple with his own hands.

The flames began to burn, and fiery smoke rose.

Without hesitation, Tian Dan strode into the fire.

Flames engulfed his body.

Only Tian Dan's sad voice echoed here.

That is the inscription written by the ancestor of the Tian family, Mr. Chen Wan, when he married the daughter of the Yi family.

It is also the destiny of his surname Tian.

The Phoenix Emperor Yu Fei, and Ming Qiang Qiang.

After you have GUI, you will be raised by Jiang.
