The firelight reflected on the big tree, and you could see that the bark was peeled off, and a row of seal characters were written in sticky blood.

"Handan conferred the head, Fan He died, Erqing has lost thousands of lives, and the same is true for those who are enemies of Zhao's!"

The firelight also reflected the gloomy and uncertain faces of the two teachers and commanders, and they immediately erased all these words. It quickly spread in the military camps of Fan and Zhongxing.

Fan Jishe was naturally furious about this incident, and Zhong Xingyin heard that Zhai Fengtu and Di Ren's cavalry were lost, and he was also scolding.

The general soldiers in the camp had a similar attitude towards this matter. The Fan family had lost so much in the first battle of Qinshui that he had already become a frightened bird by fleeing all the way. Now he is even more frightened and uneasy. .

If it was said that during the fierce battle in the afternoon yesterday, the Zhongxing clan was in full swing and could fight Zhao Bing five to five times. After tonight, they not only lost their soldiers, but also did not even regain Fan He's head. .

Zhao Wuxi's tactical purpose of attacking their morale had already been achieved.

Gao Qiang heard that Gongsun Ji's body had not been found, and he might have been captured, so he couldn't help but feel sorry for it.

"It can't go on like this."

So Gao Qiang immediately entered Erqing's tent, and offered advice: "The army is unstable, and it is better to promote the morality of the monarch to humiliate the death of the minister, and to mobilize the soldiers and soldiers to feel the same hatred of the enemy. Zhao's battle!"

...

The night faded, the sun rose as usual, and on the distant horizon, the first red sun shone with dazzling light. Zhao Wuxi and his subordinates also escorted the captives on their way home.

Along the way, Wu Xie observed the appearance of the Di people with interest. The Di people cavalry officer who took the lead in surrendering had a big waist and a strong body. He has a beard on his face, and his eyes are quite large. With thick eyebrows, he looks like a good-looking hero.

More importantly, in terms of appearance, there is not much difference between Di and Jin people, but there are more round faces.

He thought to himself: "Bai Di is really his banner, his clothes are still white, and his customs are quite influenced by China. Compared with other Rong Di, he is more enlightened, so he is called Bai Di. Not the so-called white people..."

After returning to the camp, Zhao Wuxi held a ceremony to **** the prisoners at the gate of the camp. Watching Fan Bing and Bai Di soldiers walk past the camp in a dejected line, the soldiers of the Zhao and Han Allied Forces were immediately boosted in morale.

After Zhao Wuxi reported his merits to Zhao Yang, he directly brought the captured Di rider into the tent. He was very interested in what this guy who served as the "Brigade Commander" and was regarded as a middle-level officer knew.

The winner sat on the seat covered with tiger skins, while the loser was **** with five flowers. Zhai Fengtu lowered his eyes and made a submissive appearance.

In the fierce battle last night. After Zhai Fengtu abandoned his weapons and surrendered, his clan followed suit, and only a few groups of Di people who did not belong to his clan were still resisting. Naturally, he was surrounded by light cavalry and dismembered.

Zhai Fengtu is no stranger to failure. He is also thirty years old this year. Thirty years ago, the Zhongxing clan destroyed the Feiguo, and twenty years ago, the Zhongxing clan destroyed the Guguo country. He was raised under the rule of the Zhongxing clan. The first generation of Bai Di people.

He knew the temperament and preferences of these Jin people. When they conquered the Rong and Di, they were interested in land, population, military resources, wealth, and the honor of the victors. It's not about rushing to kill, it's much milder than the vendetta between the Rong and Di tribes.

So Zhai Fengtu tried his best to use his brain at this moment. Thinking to myself what I can do to save myself from death.

But he heard Zhao Wuxi ask, "What's your name?"

Zhai Fengtu was agitated: "The villain is Bai Di of Gucheng, so he is named Zhai. The name is Fengtu."

"I always asked Di Ren to die easily, why do you want to surrender?"

"The cavalry of Shangguo is far superior to us, and they know they will lose, so they can only surrender."

Zhao Wuxi said, "Speaking of surrender, I remembered one thing."

"Thirty years ago, Bank of China Muzi sent troops to attack Bai Di and surrounded the capital of the Drum Kingdom. The situation in the Drum Kingdom was severe, and someone in the city secretly told Bank of China Wu that he was willing to surrender, but Wu of the Bank of China refused. His son Bank of China Yin asked incomprehensibly: 'Why doesn't my father do this kind of beautiful thing that does not require soldiers to work hard to attack the city?' Sell ​​it to the people of Guguo, let them kill the traitors, and repair the fortifications... I didn't believe it when I first heard it, so I wanted to ask you, is there any such thing?"

Zhai Fengtu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Yes, the villain's father and uncle happened to be in Gucheng at that time and witnessed this. At that time, the Zhongxing clan's army surrounded the drum for March, and someone from Guguo came out with his subordinates to surrender. Bank of China Mu Ziwu looked at the subordinates of the surrenderer and said, 'You don't have any hunger on your face yet, you should go back and defend the city well', and again refused to surrender..."

Zhao Wuxi shook his head, the expressions of those Bai Di people must have been frustrated and helpless at that time, and after a while, the people of Guguo came to complain again: the food is exhausted, and the energy is exhausted. Only then did Bank of China Wu enter the city openly. During this period, he did not kill a Guguo, but only returned home triumphantly with Guzi. After the ceremony of offering prisoners in Jiangdu, he put the drum back and continued to be the monarch of his Drum Kingdom...

Taking Zhao Wuxi's mind, Wu of the Bank of China was trying to please the Di people of the Gu Kingdom and prepare for his family's long-term rule in the Dongyang area. At that time, the six ministers of Jin State each had their own sphere of influence, and they ruled from generation to generation, which were deeply rooted, such as the painstaking management of Jinyang by the Zhao family. Because Liu Qing all knew that if this continued, the six clans would inevitably fight.

Sure enough, later that Gu Jun didn't appreciate it, he surrendered and revolted, but the Bai Di people of Gu country thought of the good of Zhongxing Muzi and willingly joined him. Gudi has since become the territory of the Zhongxing clan, although Hua and Di are mixed. , but did not give birth to any major chaos.

"Then here comes the question, I heard that because of the favor of Bank of China Muzi, the chubby and fat Di Ren was convinced of him, and regarded himself as a vassal and retainer of the Bank of China, and was willing to serve him, but why did you say surrender? drop?"

Seeing Zhai Fengtu's nervous face, Zhao Wuxi said: "Don't worry, I and the Bank of China are already enemies of life and death, and I will never follow the example of Wu of Bank of China to betray those who surrender. I just want to know, you wait. How do the Bai Di people view the Zhonghang clan?

Zhai Fengtu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's right, because of the remaining prestige of Muzi of the Bank of China. Many Baidi tribes work for the Zhongxing clan, but this is more forced. No outsider seems so willing, if it is not for the strong Zhongxing clan. , we might defect to Xianyu! Besides, the custom of Bai Di, as long as there is profit, no matter whether the etiquette allows it or not, betrayal of the head of the family is not tolerated in the eyes of Jin people, but for us Di people. But nothing."

He said sincerely: "I will not only abandon the Zhongxing clan, but also be willing to serve the general, and hope that the general will let my clan go."

Zhao Wuxi secretly said: "No wonder it is said that Rong and Di are wolves, you can't be bored; Zhu Xia are intimate, and you can't abandon them. Yi and Di have no faith, they are easy to move, and it is difficult to understand. It is indeed impossible to understand the concept of the Central Plains."

However, he wished that there were more such people in the Bank of China, and even if there were none, he could use means to force them out. Same as Zhao. The Zhongxing's army is also mixed, and it only takes a little bit of suspicion to disintegrate an army. a country.

But Zhao Wuxi said: "Oh? When Wu of the Bank of China refused to surrender, he said his reasons, encouraging loyal ministers and punishing betrayals. This is the state's *. To give a reward is to reward the treacherous. There are disaffected people among the Di people, and Jin also has them. If they recruit treacherous surrender, it is to use the example of the Gu Kingdom to encourage the retainers to have two hearts. If they want to take down a city And if you are intimate with a traitor, then the loss of the Zhongxing clan is too great... From this point of view, if I accept the surrender, I will also bear a lot of risks. Let's talk about it, except for the members who have been damaged by nearly half. You can still What do you bring me?"

"I see Zhao's ambition, not only defeating Erqing, but also sweeping Hanoi and Dongyang. The villain is willing to persuade Bai Di's various ministries to join the Zhao family together..."

Want to get rid of the golden cicada? There are dense mountains and forests over there, if Zhai Fengtu goes back, it is a bird flying in the deep forest. Where can he go to find it? Zhao Wuxi laughed in his heart, shook his head and said: "This matter is too far away, it will not be too late to talk about it later, do you have something that can serve me immediately?"

Zhai Fengtu knew that his escape plan was seen through by Zhao Wuxi. Although the person in front of him was young, he was a self-made man who became Zhengqing in the State of Lu, and he made a mistake.

He bowed his head in a guilty conscience, and was stared at by Zhao Wuxi, sweating coldly. For Zhai Fengtu, compared to the lives of himself and his family, the loyalty to the Zhongxing clan is something that can be discarded at any time.

After thinking about it, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "The villain also knows the reality of the Zhongxing's camp and the weakness of their marching formations!"

...

After the invitation to surrender, Zhai Fengtu's treatment was improved. Zhao Wuqi personally came to untie him, and also arranged to sit at the table, so that he could tell the facts of the Bank of China. Although there were still guards staring at him, Zhai Fengtu felt that this was a sign that the situation had improved. At least, he would not be pushed out and beheaded because of a disagreement.

"The Bank of China's camp is backed by the southern wall of the Gongcheng City, and its southern part is heavily guarded, but there is also a section that exceeds the city wall and goes deep into the stream in the west. Because there is a water barrier, there is not much troops set up. The south is heavy and the northwest is light. This is where the real and false of the Bank of China's camp..."

"I remember that those streams flowed from the Baiquan area..." Zhao Wuxi shifted his gaze northward~lightnovelpub.net~ His focus was not only the camp of the Bank of China, but the situation of the entire river.

After chatting for a while, Zhao Wuxi asked Zhai Fengtu to go down to rest, and then took him to meet Zhao Yang when he was eating, and stated the weaknesses of the Zhongxing clan's army.

"The minister must do his best for the Zhao family. From today, the Zhongxing family will no longer be my old master, but my enemy!" Zhai Fengtu expressed his sincerity, bowed and stepped back. As soon as he left, Zhao Wuxi clapped his hands and asked Qi Wan to bring out the people who were hiding in the inner room of the tent.

But it was a young army officer covered in bandages and wounds, and it was Gongsun Ji who was stunned by an arrow in the ambush. Gongsun Yu's mouth was gagged. At this moment, he looked at Zhao Wuxi and glared angrily, but when he looked at the direction Zhai Fengtu left, he hated him even more. When Zhai Fengtu was being brought into the camp, Zhai Fengtu was just bowing down to show his loyalty and was bumped by Gongsun Yu. A positive.

Zhao Wuxi asked people to take down the cloth ball that Gongsun Shi had gagged, and said with a smile: "Gongsun, just now Zhai Fengtu said that he wanted to surrender to me, did you hear it? There is such a treacherous person who betrays the master and asks for life. It's really the misfortune of Er Qing, if Fan and Zhongxing lose this battle, the drum and fat Bai Di will have to bear half of the responsibility!" (To be continued.)
