Chapter 74 Zhongshan Wolf 12
Hearing only the crisp sound of Zheng, the dagger that pierced the flying rainbow had been broken. Under the force, he still stabbed the girl's chest with a rush, cut the outer skirt, and suddenly blood gushed out. Fortunately, the blade of the dagger has been broken. It's just a scratch. The wound looks scary, but there is no worry about life.
Sima Xi didn't expect the girl to be so strong, but he felt a little guilty. Silently, he watched Zhao Xin tear off his skirt and cushion the wound for her, and asked her to hold it with his hand to stop the bleeding. Then he slowly said, "Why do you have to do this?"
The girl took the skirt handed over by Zhao Xin, lowered her head and said "thank you" gently.
He raised his head and looked at Sima Xi again, and said stubbornly, "Of course, you won't know that my parents have died since I was a child, and I am the only orphan in the family. It was my godfather who raised me with painstaking efforts. Such kindness, not to mention my life, even if I go through fire and water, it is not too much.
Sima Xi was silent in his heart and seemed to be aroused by her words. After a long silence, he sighed and said, "Okay, I promise you to let your godfather live. I wanted to kill him when I asked him what I needed. Today, in terms of your filial piety, I will let him go at the end.
The girl was stunned at first, and then looked ecstatic and said, "What you said is serious?"
Sima Xi and Zou Mei said, "I never counted what I said? If you don't believe it, there's nothing I can do."
The girl was afraid that Sima Xi would regret it, so she nodded quickly and said, "I believe it."
Sima Xi took a look at her and said lightly, "Well, today I have violated my principles and opened up to you. Now that your requirements have been met, go back quickly. Don't let me go back. Your godfather will naturally let him go.
The girl pressed the wound with her hand, bowed deeply to Sima Xi, and turned to leave. Seeing that she was slow and the wound was full of blood, Zhao Xin wanted to help her, but she gently threw her away. He just took a quick look at Zhao Xin and whispered, "Thank you for saving my life."
After saying that, he staggered away slowly, and his thin back was extremely stubborn.
Seeing the girl's back disappearing at the corner, Zhao Xin's eyes were withdrawn, but he met Sima's smiling eyes.
Sima Xi opened his mouth and said, "You have a good conscience and like to meddle in other people's business."
Zhao Xin smiled and said, "It's not good or bad conscience. It's just that there are some pity for the same disease. Besides, if you raise your hand to save a person's life, it's measurable. Why not do it?"
Sima Xi didn't believe; "What's the pity for each other? You are so proud. In a hundred years of Zhao Guoguo, who can compare your promotion speed except the prince and grandson?"
Zhao Xin just smiled and didn't bother to argue. Seeing that it was getting late, he said goodbye to Sima Xi.
After climbing for a long time, he returned to the outside of the city and reported the situation in Lingshou City to the master's father overnight. After learning about the situation in Lingshou City, the master's father became more and more firm about his plan to besiege the city and wait for change. He ordered that he still built siege equipment with great fanfare, but nearly half of the soldiers were transferred to other small urban and rural areas in Zhongshan that had not been fully occupied, and swallowed the whole territory of Zhongshan, leaving only cavalry and half of the soldiers to strictly block Lingshou.
When Qiu Wuqi saw that Zhao Jun stopped attacking the city, he just asked for it. He thought that the Zhao army, who fought in his first battle, suffered heavy losses and had no power to attack the city, so he didn't think much about it.
But for a long time, the Zhao army did not attack the city for more than ten days in a row, which clearly showed the posture of besieging Lingshou for a long time. Qiu Wuqi gradually couldn't calm down. You should know that if the State of Qi really goes north to adjust as promised, it is impossible for the State of Zhao not to know anything at all. It is bound to seize the time to attack before the Qi army goes north and strive to capture Lingshou, which is a fait accompli.
But Zhao Jun did not do so, but unexpectedly did not move, which made Qiu Wuqi suspicious. He repeatedly asked Sima about his "Xu Ran" with Qi, but he got the assurance of the two of them. Then he was slightly relieved and waited patiently for a period of time.
This did not wait for the news that the Qi army was going north, and there was no sign of Zhao's withdrawal. Instead, the granaries in the city gradually came to the bottom. Qiu Wuqi was shocked and afraid. He couldn't calm down in anger. He personally led someone to grab Qi from the woman **. For a while, he asked the soft egg and recruited everything out.
Only then did Qiu Wuqi know that he had been fooled. He was so angry that he didn't need to ask the king of Zhongshan, so he took his own army to Sima Xi's house and wanted to smash him, a Zhongshan spy.
The sergeant of the brigade rushed directly into Sima Xi's house. When he saw the servants and maidservants, he didn't ask a word and directly stabbed them to death. Qiu Wuqi took the lead. When he learned from his servants that Sima Xi was in the study, he rushed straight to the study with a big knife in his hand.
Qiu Wuqi kicked the door of the study, but saw that Sima Xi turned his back to him and did not look back. He just stood there without saying a word, as if he didn't realize it.
Qiu Wuyu strode forward, put the big knife directly on his neck, and roared, "Sima traitor, you have been exposed. Today is the day of your death. I will break your body and cook it, so that I can relieve my hatred."
Sima Xi's body shook slightly, but slowly turned back. Qiu Wuqi's eyes widened fiercely and was stunned. Suddenly, he grabbed him and roared, "Why are you, the Sima dog thief? Tell me, where is the Sima dog thief?"
Meng Shi struggled for a while, but Qiu Wuqi's two arms did not move like two golden hoop, so he gave up the resistance, but smiled and said, "General Qiu Wu, to be honest, my owner has left the city two days ago. If there is no guess correctly, he should be in the Zhao army camp outside the city at this moment."
Qiu Wuyu was stunned and didn't react yet. A personal soldier outside the door hurried to report, "General, I found a secret road in Sima Xi's dormitory. I don't know where it leads."
It turned out that two days ago, Sima Xi had noticed that the matter was about to be exposed, so he complained of illness on the grounds that he was infected and climbed out of the secret road under the response of Zhao Xin. He also asked Meng Shi to put on his clothes and learn his voice to pretend that he stayed in the study and did not go out. He cheated Qiu Wu and buried in his house.
Under Qiu Wu's fury, he had to divide Meng Shi's body with a knife to vent his anger, but there was nothing he could do.
After telling Ji Shang, the king of Zhongshan, Ji Shang saw that Xiangbang, who had been spoiled for more than ten years, was actually a spy of the State of Zhao. He almost fainted in anger. When he heard that the reinforcements of the State of Qi would not come, he was even more frightened. The court meeting was held in a hurry. After the minister of the DPRK learned about this, most of his face was like ashes. Some people suggested that the general trend had gone. It was better to surrender to Zhao to seek wealth and nobleness, which was actually won the support of most people. Except for a few old elders who did not say a word, those former Sima Xi's party members all supported the surrender of Zhao, fearing their own lives would be liquidated.
Ji Shang saw that his courtiers actually persuaded him to surrender. It was really sad and hateful. At this time, he knew that he had done everything with his own hands and regretted it. The only thing that made him feel gratified was that General Qiu Wuyu fought hard and refused to surrender to the State of Zhao. He said that he was willing to go out of the city to adventure and attack the Zhao army. If he got it, the territory of Zhongshan could be restored.
Ji Shang was so happy that he seemed to see a life-saving straw. He hurriedly worshipped Qiu Wuyu as a general, named Dangyang Jun, and commanded the national military. After returning to the army, Qiu Wuyu ordered the slaughter of cattle and sheep. The whole army had a full meal and rushed to the Zhao army's battalion by opening the gate at night. Before approaching the Zhao army camp, it was found by the Zhao army's patrol horse. Suddenly, it blew the trumpet and warning. The Zhao army quickly gathered to counterattack and fought with the Zhongshan army out of the city.
Qiu Wuqi was dressed in heavy armor and rushed to the front with three thousand trap camps, breaking through the Zhao army's defense line in a row, which was really sharp. Seeing this, Zhao Yong made the step backwards and made Zhao Xi ride more than ten thousand. Everyone was equipped with a horse rope. Relying on exquisite riding skills, he tripped these powerful iron armored monsters with a net array and trampled them to death with horseshoes. Qiu Wulu himself rushed ten miles and killed more than 500 Zhao Jun. In the end, he tried his best to die in the chaotic army, and there was almost no complete piece of skin and flesh on his body.
Seeing that he was so brave and respected him, Zhao Yong ordered him to restrain the body and bury it with the general's gift.
Since Qiu Wuqi left, the army out of the city died or surrendered, and none of them survived, and Lingshou City also lost the only power of resistance. At the sunrise on the second day, Ji Shang, the king of Zhongshan, tied his neck with a rope, held the king's seal, and took all the civil and military officials out of the city to beg for surrender.
Zhongshan, the country of thousands of people, after several ups and downs, finally died in the hands of Zhao people. Since then, the blood of Xianyu people has been completely integrated into the blood of Zhao people.
