Heifu, who was praised by flatterers as "the best general in the world", was in front of Lantian City at the moment. He looked at Li Liang who was begging for mercy in front of him, with an elegant and easy-going smile:

"Li Liang, as early as two months ago, I asked my subordinate Ji Ying, the escort captain, to secretly send people to follow the defeated Nanyang troops into Wuguan. I sent you a letter. Did you not receive it?"

One of the Nine Qin Qings promoted by Hu Hai personally, Wei Wei Li Liang, looked confused:

"A letter? What letter? I haven't seen it yet..."

"Is it."

Hei Fu sneered in his heart, but his face became more kind: "Could it be that the person who delivered the letter encountered an accident on the way... Fu Sheng, do you still remember what I asked you to write?"

Because of his good calligraphy, Fu Sheng, who became Heifu’s secretary for who knows how many years, handed over his hand and said:

"The prince said in his letter, 'More than ten years ago, I was the First Emperor's Zhonglang Huling, staying in the palace of Wei, while Li Liang was the Langguan and an assistant, and he tried to do something for me. Today, Tongwuhou has passed away, and Wuguan Xun

If the moon is not guarded, it will be good if Li Liang can raise his troops in Lantian. After the peace is achieved, I will honor Liang..."

Li Liang is from Longxi County, and it is said that he is somewhat distantly related to Li Xin. Heifu first came to Xianyang twelve years ago, because he suggested that Qin Shi Huang should take the honorific title "Emperor", which made Zulong happy, and he was granted the title of Zhonglang Huling. He had

There are two subordinates, one is Li Liang and the other is Dong Yi (yi).

After many years, it was a bit awkward to see the superiors and subordinates who had worked together together again.

Li Liang is also an actor, and he looked surprised:

"This is happening! To be honest with you, my subordinates have been planning to surrender for a long time. Unfortunately, they are in the hinterland of Guanzhong and have not found the opportunity until recently. If I had received this letter from you earlier, I would have raised troops to respond half a month ago.

Got it!"

"That's not right." Heifu said with a smile: "Why did I hear Captain Aoguan say that you once made a bold promise in front of Hu Hai, saying that you would lock me, a traitor, in an iron cage and escort me back to Xianyang for justice? But

in this way?"

Li Liang's expression changed. Seeing that he could no longer hide it, he fell to the ground and said, "That's just nonsense made by a subordinate to win Hu Hai's trust!"

"The subordinates were forced to kneel in front of the false emperor and accepted the position of guard. It was nothing but an act of hypocrisy. Although Liang was in the north, his heart was in the south. He promised to be with Marquis Wu Zhong long ago! I hope you don't blame Li Liang for his late arrival!"

"That's it, that's all, the past is in the past."

Although he had already sentenced this man's political career to death in his heart, Heifu would not immediately punish a surrendered guard, as that would only create unrest among the 70,000 to 80,000 newly surrendered soldiers of the Northern Army.

He personally helped Li Liang up and started reminiscing about the past.

"Dong Yi and Sima Xin are both from the same hometown of Zhanghan, and they have a good personal relationship with me. They were hurt by me and punished by the false emperor. Where are they now? Do you know?"

Li Liang was afraid of offending Hei Fu again, so he answered knowingly: "Sima Xin was a prisoner in Lishan Mountain, but Dong Yi escaped. It is said that he fell into the grass in Liangshan Mountain, but he has not been arrested..."

The Liangshan in Li Liang's mouth is not in Shandong, but the Shaoliang Mountain in the Xihe area (Hancheng, Shaanxi).

"Where's Meng Yi?" Heifu asked about Meng Yi, the Zhonglang General who had been his boss for a while when he was the Huling of Zhonglang.

Li Liangdao: "Together with his brother Mengtian, he was moved to Yunyang County Prison."

Yunyang Prison is a place specifically for political prisoners. Han Xin and Cheng Miao, who invented the Qin Li, also passed there. In total, the Meng brothers have been in prison for almost two years. Now Meng Tian is

I have time to study the brush...

"Ever since we entered Guanzhong, we have become old friends all the way." Hei Fu sighed.

Heifu then looked at Lantian County, where dark clouds were pressing down on the city. After the collapse of the army, Wang Li retreated with only a few thousand short soldiers to fight against the trapped beasts.

"General Wang Li, on the other hand, has been reluctant to come out to meet me..."

He glanced aside and saw that his subordinates were already gearing up.

This time Heifu did not order the East Gate Leopard, but instead selected two Yue generals who were famous for their bravery.

"Mei Yuan!"

"No!" Mei Yi, who has been dressed like an ordinary Qin official since becoming Dongmen Bao's son-in-law, responded.

"Nothing left to shake!"

"Here!" The Fujianese and Yue people who had just arrived from the south were excited, and they were finally headhunting.

"Preparing to attack the city, ask the Marquis of Wucheng to come out and talk about old times for me!"

…

In the small county of Lantian, dark clouds threaten to destroy the city.

Wang Li, with disheveled hair, raised his head and stared at the large banner behind him. The large banner was about three feet high and stood tall and independent. There was a huge seal character embroidered on the flag made of brocade:

"Qin!"

The three generations of the Pinyang Wang family, their grandfather and grandson, served as generals under the banner of Qin. They defeated the six kingdoms for the first emperor, made great military achievements, and thus had the glory of the three princes.

Even though he was trapped in an isolated city at this moment, as long as he saw the big banner flying in the wind, inspired by the strong wind, soaring into the sky like an eagle, Wang Li would be filled with pride!

But this does not change their weakness in weighing yi with baht.

The ground trembled. It was the hundreds of thousands of rebels outside the city who were approaching Lantian step by step. Along with it, there was a low and lengthy rumble, and countless drums and horns were blown heartily, pouring in from all directions.

Come and make the soldiers at the city head tremble.

Following the drum horn, a large black banner was erected in the rebel formation. The banner was also embroidered with a huge "Qin" character wrapped in red edges, but it was a more rounded official script...

Seal script and official script, old and new.

Wang Li stared at the flag and couldn't help but let out an angry shout: "As a traitor, Hei Fu has failed the First Emperor, yet he has the nerve to raise the flag of Qin!"

Generals are the most courageous of the three armies. Wang Li did not lose heart, but his anger did not infect others, and no one around him responded.

Those short-handed personal guards who had not rebelled during the bombing of the camp the night before were now being oppressed by the huge enemy formation.

But in the wilderness outside Lantian City, the black and white battle flags were fluttering in the wind, and the bright swords, spears, and halberds were eye-catching. A train roared past in the distance, and a phalanx of disciples marched in neat steps.

, the red or white armbands on their arms are eye-catching, and under the command of the strong and deep drums, they carry the ladder and walk resolutely towards the city.

The few thousand people left at the top of the city were breathing heavily and looking at this scene with uneasy expressions. There was silence on the city wall, and everyone's hearts were beating nervously in step with the enemy's advance.

When they all stopped more than a hundred steps away and stamped their feet violently, the vibration seemed to collapse the city wall, and the guards at the gate couldn't help but tremble...

There was no direct attack, but a loud shout from thousands of strong men:

"Wang Li!"

Heifu's words were spread across the street again.

"This is Marquis Wu Zhong's last warning. If you don't surrender, will the entire city be burned to the ground with both soldiers and civilians?"

Wang Li was in his thirties, but he was still very angry and was immediately yelled back.

"Wang Li swears to be loyal to the Qin Dynasty to the death! He will never be a thief!"

The sound from the other side was louder.

"The real thief is in Wangyi Palace, his name is Zhao Gao, and his name is Hu Hai!"

More heartbreaking.

"You are loyal to the pseudo-emperor Hu Hai, not Da Qin. Do you think that one person's foolish loyalty will bring harm to everyone, Guanzhong, and the world?"

"Pinyang is also in the east, and the Chu people have been led into the pass by Zhao Gao. Are you ignoring your clan and neighbors? Do you want to persist to the end and kill the families of the soldiers and soldiers of the three armies?"

Wang Li suddenly became speechless. Zhao Gao was also the person his father wanted to kill. As for the Six Kingdoms entering the Pass, even he was not sure whether it was true...

"If I attack the city, we will fall into Lantian within a short time. But if you are willing to surrender, thousands of people will be saved today!"

Just after the words were spoken, there was a volley of big yellow crossbows, which either nailed the wall of Lantian City less than three feet away, or shot several people to death. However, the range of the crossbows in the city could not threaten the enemy at all...

Wang Li looked around, and saw that the soldiers at the top of the city had lost the vigor they had shown when they resisted the Huns in Shangjun. They were as silent as cicadas, and there were faint sounds of crying.

"Morale has collapsed so much. Are you afraid?"

A captain bowed down and said: "General, those crying people are soldiers from Xihe. They are not afraid of dying in battle, but they are worried about the safety of their families..."

The captain raised his head, his eyes red: "This official is also from Linjin. General, are we going to continue this battle?"

The captain who once crossed the Great Wall in Shangjun and chased the barbarians for more than a hundred miles now had no fighting spirit: "Can this battle still be fought?"

"General, we have lost. Unless the First Emperor is reborn, unless Marquis Wu Cheng and Marquis Tongwu are reincarnated, and unless the soldiers from the Lishan Mausoleum come to help, there is no chance of victory."

"General, surrender, the soldiers have no intention of fighting anymore!"

The captains and commanders all knelt down. Out of respect for the Pinyang Wang family, they followed here. Otherwise, they would have followed the crowd and surrendered during the bombing of the camp.

Wang Li's face turned red when he heard the voices of his enemies and his own people urging him to surrender. With his temper, he liked to be stubborn in everything, so how could he surrender that black man?

When Heifu entered the palace and served as the household commander of Zhonglang, Wang Li was the riding commander of Zhonglang, which was the same level as him.

But although Heifu was from a humble background, he was very good at flattering his superiors. He rose to the top and became a county captain, which made Wang Li dissatisfied.

In the battle to drive out the Xiongnu, he was placed with high hopes. His lone army penetrated deep into Henan from Beijia. If he arrived at the battlefield in time, he would be able to rescue the besieged Feng Jie, reverse the situation of the battle, and rescue Feng Jie.

But unfortunately, he got lost.

From then on, he was despised by the First Emperor, laughed at by everyone in the world, and fell into a state of eternal doom. Even his father almost gave up on him, leaving him to do errands at home and feel depressed.

It was Hu Hai who re-promoted him and entrusted him with important responsibilities as commander of Shangjun soldiers.

No matter how complicated the reasons were, Wang Li always remembered the love between his sister-in-law and the second emperor.

Unfortunately, his father died of illness. He was devastated and deeply resented what someone secretly said, "The Marquis of Tongwu was defeated by Hei Fu and lost Nanyang."

So he wanted to prove himself in the Battle of Wuguan and prove that the Wang family had never lost to someone black.

But he never thought that Heifu would completely destroy their morale and city wall in an incredible way...

After that, Wang Li relied on the instincts he learned from his eldest father to run the army. He wanted to use cruel methods to re-establish discipline, but he did not expect that it would backfire. He was instigated by Heifu, which led to the disaster of bombing the camp.

The entire army of 100,000 people collapsed without a fight...
To be continued...
