Chapter 541 Zhou Qing, you can go to see King Qi
Zhou Shaofen was also excited.
Like Pang Nuan, Zhou Shaofen had never seen Zhao Kuo fight on the battlefield himself before.
As the saying goes, seeing is better than seeing at first sight.
Today, Zhou Shaofen saw with his own eyes how Zhao Kuo was so lightly that he captured Linzi City in one day.
This is Linzi City, the capital of Qi State for hundreds of years, not an unknown small city.
Zhou Shaofen took a deep breath and said, "Wu Xinjun is indeed extraordinary. I admire him, admire him!"
At this time, it is okay to praise a few words. Even if you are a political enemy, no one will object to a few words of scenes.
Zhao Kuo laughed and blinked at Zhou Shaofen: "Zhou Qing, you should be able to see King Qi soon."
The King of Qi was restless.
Although the King of Qi had successfully made Kuang Liang mobilize his troops according to his will, the sound of fighting everywhere was still constantly coming into the King of Qi's mind, making him nervous.
Suddenly, Kuang Liang rushed into the hall.
"King, something is not good, the Zhao army has already attacked Linzi City!"
This sentence hit the King of Qi like a thunder, making King of Qi stupid: "What?
How is this possible?”
The King of Qi could not believe it at all.
This is Linzi, a place where Qi State has worked hard for hundreds of years.
In order to fight against Zhao Kuo, the soldiers and civilians in Linzi City have been in a tense and prepared for four months.
As a result, Linzi City was only one day, no, in half a day, it was destroyed?
The King of Qi was angry and stared at Kuang Liang and shouted: "What's going on?"
I hand over Linzi City to you. Is this how you repay me?"
Kuang Liang was ashamed and knelt down with a bang, with nothing to say.
The King of Qi was still angry, but a fierce battle and screams came.
"The people of Zhao have attacked in!"
It surprised everyone and fear appeared on their faces.
The Zhao army had already entered the city and attacked the palace city of Qi! Kuang Liang hurriedly looked up and said, "King, please retreat with me!"
The King of Qi spat and kicked Kuang Liang down: "Get out of here!"
After saying that, King Qi hurriedly walked behind the hall under the escort of hundreds of Qi imperial guards.
Why go to the back of the hall instead of the door?
It turned out that after Linzi was captured and restored more than 30 years ago, King Xiang of Qi (the father of the King of Qi) returned to Linzi, just in case, specially asked someone to dig a secret passage behind the King of Qi's hall in the palace to lead out of the city in case of emergency.
Soon, King Qi entered the secret passage under the escort of hundreds of imperial guards.
The secret passage is tide and wet, and it is quite stuffy, and holding a torch can only illuminate the place in front of you.
But King Qi walked quickly in the secret passage and had only happiness in his heart.
After all, that bastard Zhao Kuo did not catch me, and I didn’t need to endure the shame of being captured like King Ying Zhu of Qin! I don’t know how long it took, King Qi finally left the secret passage and came out of a wellhead.
This wellhead is located in a remote small village outside Linzi City. No one knows that an abandoned wellhead in this village would actually connect to the Qiguo Palace City several miles away.
The King of Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Where is the carriage?"
The eunuch of Qi State on the side said hurriedly: "King, the Zhao army besieged the city for several months, and the carriage they had prepared had long been useless.
But please rest assured, the old minister has asked someone to prepare a ship. As long as the king gets on the ship, we will immediately cross the river and look for a carriage after crossing the river!"
The King of Qi knew that the situation was the only way at this moment, so he nodded and said, "Lead the way!"
Surrounded by hundreds of Qi State guards, the King of Qi hurried to the river.
The eunuch ordered the eunuch to take out a boat from the Zibo River.
Just as the King of Qi was about to board the boat, a sound of horse hooves came.
Thousands of Zhao cavalry suddenly appeared from all directions, holding bows and arrows to surround the King of Qi and hundreds of personal guards around him.
A general of Zhao State came out, bowed to the King of Qi on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Li Mu under Wu Xinjun's command has seen the king, so please don't resist, and return to Linzi with us obediently.
Otherwise, I would have to offend me!"
Listening to Li Mu's words, King Qi suddenly looked like earth, his legs softened and sat directly on the mud on the river beach.
He never expected that although he had escaped from Linzi, he still did not get rid of his fate of being captured! Just as Li Mu was talking to King Qi, the war in Linzi City had basically ended.
The real main force of the Qi army had been destroyed by Zhao Kuo before. Now most of the defenders in Linzi City are recruited from young and strong people in the city, similar to the county soldiers of Zhao State.
The characteristic of this kind of young and strong soldier is that he can fight when defending the city. Once the city is broken, his morale will suddenly drop and he will reach the bottom of the valley, with no fighting will at all.
At dusk that day, Zhao Kuo, surrounded by many Zhao army soldiers, led the elite Zhao and Han alliance troops into the Linzi Palace City in a mighty manner.
The Han army commander Feng Ting stood beside Zhao Kuo, looking at the magnificent Linzi Palace City in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh.
"A few years ago, I also went to Qi as an envoy.
But I never expected that one day I could enter this palace again as an occupier!"
Zhao Kuo smiled and said to Feng Ting: "Huayang Jun, how does the winner feel?"
Feng Ting also laughed loudly and bowed to Zhao Kuo: "I'm going to say that Wu Xinjun is so good! This time, I'm all thanks to Wu Xinjun's glory."
Feng Ting said something from the heart and very sincere.
If it weren't for Zhao Kuo, with South Korea's national strength and Feng Ting's own ability to lead troops, he would never have been able to conquer Linzi City in his next life.
But what about now?
Now Feng Ting can not only follow Zhao Kuo to conquer Linzi, but will be recorded in history. After returning to South Korea, Feng Ting's power and prestige will inevitably increase greatly and will gain the trust of the King of Korea.
All of this was brought to Feng Ting by Zhao Kuo.
Wu Xinjun, a great man! On the other hand, Pang Xian smiled, but said with some regret: "It's a pity that there was no captive of King Qi."
This time the Zhao army invaded Handan, and most of the Qi ministers in Handan City were captured, including Qi Prime Minister Bang Housheng, and Grand Marshal Kuangliang was no exception.
Only King Tian Jian of Qi was missing. Zhao Jun searched the palace city several times but did not find the figure of King Qi.
After hearing Pang Xian's words, Zhao Kuo smiled slightly and said, "Well... King Qi may have escaped, but he may not be able to escape."
As soon as Zhao Kuo finished speaking, a sound of horse hooves came from afar.
Li Mu rushed over and said happily to Zhao Kuo: "I am lucky to have not humiliated my orders, and I have captured King Tian Jian of Qi!!"
Everyone suddenly became quiet, and then they were filled with joy.
Capturing the King of Qi means that this battle in Linzi has achieved a perfect victory! Zhao Kuo was also very happy and laughed out loud.
Amid the laughter, Zhao Kuo blinked at Zhou Shaofen on another carriage: "Zhou Qing, I haven't lie to you, right?
Starting tomorrow, you can have a good talk with King Qi about this peace talk!”
