Chapter Five Hundred and Eighty-First The Bookmaker(1/2)

"Reported that the former general Wang Ben, eunuch Xiao Yi, and a thousand soldiers were surrounded near the Peacock Kingdom."

After more than ten days of trekking, the young man who reported the news finally found the camp of Meng Tian and Fusu.

Meng Tian and Fusu have been managing the Western Regions. They vaguely knew that there was a country in the south, but they had never dealt with each other, and they didn't know what the name of this great country was.

Meng Tian asked, "How long have they been surrounded?"

The young master said, "It's been more than ten days."

Meng Tian asked again: "Can we have a good location?"

The pawn said, "We built a city of earth."

Meng Tian asked again: "How many people are there?"

The pawn said: "Ten thousand people, the number is still increasing."

Meng Tian shook his head slowly: "Compared with the huge difference, Wang Ben and Xiao Yi are probably no longer alive."

The young man was stunned for a moment and asked, "The general means..."

Meng Tian said: "Our army has made every effort to rescue, but the other army is waiting for it. We have very little chance of victory."

"Since Wang Ben and Xiao Yi are dead, we might as well go slowly to make preparations and then go on an expedition to the Peacock Kingdom."

"Otherwise, not only will it not be possible to avenge them, but it will lose more people. It's really unwise."

The young man begged: "However, what if Wang Ben and Xiao Yi are still alive? They are waiting for us to go back, but we let them die, how can we be content?"

Meng Tian frowned.

Fusu said from the side: "It's better to bring ten thousand cavalry and bring people back. Whether they are alive or dead, they will finally have an explanation."

Meng Tian nodded.

Fusu immediately counted 10,000 people, and after a full meal, he followed the little man who reported the news and ran towards Tucheng.

These days, Fusu followed Meng Tian to fight many wars in the Western Regions. He seized many thieves and destroyed several small countries.

Therefore, Fusu is quite proficient in military affairs.

He and Meng Tian even found out about Shatilie and Maodun. It is said that the two of them occupied another country in the West and were recruiting soldiers and planning to come back to take revenge.

Meng Tian now devotes all his energy to guard against Sha Tilie.

Fusu and ten thousand people rushed to Tucheng hard.

Although he was on the way to Tucheng, what he was thinking about was actually Shatilie's affairs.

Fusu didn't believe that Xiao Yi and Wang Ben were still alive. He just felt that if he didn't go to rescue, he would be uneasy. After all, he was a Qin person.

…………

The war around Tucheng has been going on for nearly a month.

In this month, countless soldiers from the Peacock Kingdom died, and they also witnessed the cunning of the Qin people.

The Qin people in Tucheng could not defend themselves. The Qin people outside Tucheng were very active.

The Qin team outside rushed over from time to time like flies to harvest a wave of lives. When the Peacock King ordered them to be wiped out, the cavalry fled from afar.

There is no way, the Peacock Kingdom has no good horses and cannot catch up with this cavalry that acts like the wind.

Later, the Peacock King was really furious when he was harassed by the cavalry, so he ordered the Peacock Army to surround the cavalry from all directions.

As a result, the soldiers and horses in the Tucheng actually ran out in the chaos and took advantage of the situation to rob the Peacock King's camp.

The Peacock King saw his tens of thousands of troops being washed away and was so angry that he cut off several people with his own hands, which slightly restored the order of the messy team.

After these days of combat, the Peacock King also realized that his army was a bit bad. It seemed that he had been distracted from the battle formation for a long time and his combat power was not that strong.

Finally, he decided to divide his troops into five teams. Each team took turns to attack Tucheng, and regarded it as training.

The Peacock King felt that Wang Ben’s more than a thousand people were not a problem, and it was just right to practice their troops. After returning to the army and horse training, he could directly attack the Qin Dynasty.

It was the decision of the Peacock King that gave Wang Ben and Xiao Yi a chance to breathe.

They repelled the attack of the Mauryan King again and again and struggled to support them.

At first, the Qin soldiers were quite relaxed to deal with it. But as time went by, there were very few bows and arrows left.

Without bows and arrows, there will be no long-range deterrence. You can only wait for the enemy to attack and then use swords to fight hand-to-hand combat.

The Qin soldiers' qualities are far higher than those of the Peacock Kingdom's soldiers, and they will not suffer any losses when fighting hand-to-hand combat. However, there are many people in the Peacock Kingdom. After all, they will take turns to attack, but the Qin soldiers still fell one by one.

More importantly, the food in Tucheng is almost finished.

If this continues, it will only be destroyed.

Xiao Yi and Wang Ben discussed it and felt that this would not work. So they sent an envoy to risk his life to meet the Peacock King and expressed their willingness to surrender.

The Peacock King has hated Xiao Yi and Wang Ben to death in the past few days.

A small city has already damaged thousands of people.

Now I heard that the people inside were going to surrender, but their first reaction was that they would not allow it.

Unexpectedly, the envoy was eloquent and said to the Peacock King: "King, if you want to rule the world, you must have a broad mind. If you allow Wang Ben and Xiao Yi to surrender today, this matter will definitely spread widely. By then

, Everyone knows the wise and famous king. Are the talented people in the world flocking to you?”

The Peacock King was slightly stunned and suddenly felt that the messenger was very reasonable.

Anyway, those thousands of people were dead, and even if they killed Wang Ben and Xiao Yi, they would not be able to survive.

Since this is the case, it would be better to surrender Wang Ben and let the people in the world see their own minds.

The envoy said again: "In addition, the king has seen the ability of Wang Ben and Xiao Yi to lead troops. The king has also learned about the weapons of Qin soldiers. If you allow them to surrender, they can help the king train them.

Zhiqiu soldiers, by then, they will conquer the world and will be invincible."

When the Peacock King heard this, his eyes couldn't help but illuminate.

He nodded, "Okay, let them surrender."

The messenger coughed dryly: "They naturally want to surrender. But... there is a condition."

The Peacock frowned: "There are still conditions?"

The envoy said, "Yes. They want to ask the king to make them kings. The country is more than a radius of thousands of miles. The people are no less than a million people. The land is fertile and the crops are flourishing..."

The Peacock King was furious and scolded: "Dare you playing tricks on me?"

The messenger wiped the cold sweat from his head and laughed dryly: "The king thinks it is unreasonable, so you can bargain."

The Peacock King suddenly laughed: "Are the Qin people so philanthropist?"

The messenger laughed dryly: "Probably, right?"

In the next few days, the messenger ran back and forth between the two places, discussing the specific details of the surrender.

Xiao Yi and Wang Ben bargained like buying vegetables in the vegetable market. Even after he surrendered, the servants of the Peacock King had to be serious about whether they were men or women, whether they were tall or short.

This negotiation lasted for more than ten days.

During the negotiations, the envoy said that the Qin soldiers were short of food and begged the Peacock King to send some food.

The Peacock King thought to himself that he had already talked about the fiefdom. These Qin soldiers were about to become their own soldiers. In the future, they would rely on them to improve weapons and make equipment, so it would be okay to give them some food.

The Peacock King agreed and gave Qin soldiers food.

Who knew that after the messenger transported the food, he would never return.

The Peacock King realized that he had been fooled and immediately ordered someone to attack him.

As a result, arrows fell like rain and hundreds of people were shot to death on the spot.

It turned out that Qin Bing didn't know when he secretly got a lot of arrows.

So... the tug-of-war in Tucheng began again.

The Peacock King almost died of anger. He lost thousands of people. He was about to capture Tucheng, but he did not expect that the insidious and cunning Qin people would actually surrender and survived for a while.

Under the current situation, I have to lose several thousand more people?

The Peacock King secretly swore that he would never trust the Qin people again from now on. As long as he catches the Qin people, he will be killed without hesitation.

Unfortunately, God did not give the Peacock King this opportunity again.

Fusu's reinforcements arrived, and ten thousand cavalry rushed towards the Peacock King's army frantically.

The team of the Peacock King collapsed at once and quickly fled to the south.

Fortunately, Fusu had no intention of chasing him, so he just saved Wang Ben and Xiao Yi and stopped fighting.

Xiao Yi looked at the direction of the Peacock Kingdom and said regretfully: "We should take advantage of the victory and pursue it. The Peacock Kingdom is facing the Central Government. As long as we fight a few battles, he will definitely destroy the country."

Fusu said lightly: "The Peacock Kingdom is a thousand miles away from the Great Qin Dynasty, which is not worth worrying. Now there are more important enemies to be prepared for. Let's stop here."

Xiao Yi nodded regretfully.

He is just a eunuch. Now that the eldest son is speaking, what can he do?

Fusu took Xiao Yi and Wang Ben and slowly returned to the Western Regions.
