Qin State, Wuguan... No, it should be said to be Wuguan of Chu State now.
The red and yellow flags of the Chu army were flying on the top of the city. The soldiers of Quyang's new army stood on the top of the city, their faces full of the joy of the victor.
Xiong Wuliang and Wei Ran sat opposite each other on the tower, with a charcoal fire in the middle and tea burning on it... The faint white smoke was mixed with the smell of charcoal and the fragrance of tea. Then they looked out at the ice and snow world outside. Don't have any artistic conception.
Wei Ran looked at Xiong Wuliang helplessly.
Don't ask why he is also in Wuguan, ask that it was Xiong Wuliang who forced him here.
"Report - Lord, Bai Qi's army is less than half a day's journey from Wuguan!" A sergeant came from outside to report.
Xiong Wuliang perked up and did not hide from Wei Ran. He loudly ordered: "The Qin people have always been untrustworthy. The three armies should be on guard! If the Qin army dares to make any move, they will immediately serve with crossbows!"
The people of Qin are unethical. This is nothing new.
Don’t you see how Zhang Yi deceived King Huai of Chu?
If in real history, King Huai of Chu was even deceived by Ying Ji into going to Qin under the pretext of "negotiating peace", and finally died tragically in a foreign land - these Qin people have no moral ethics at all!
Even though Qin and Chu have peace on paper... they still have to be on guard!
This is also the reason why Xiong Wuliang forced Wei Ran to come to Wuguan - the Chu army can stop the fire attack on Xianyang and withdraw to Wuguan in accordance with the requirements of the agreement... They just have to trouble Prime Minister Wei Ran to send them out for us all the way. !
Only when you hold a hostage in your hand can you not panic.
The red mark on Wei Ran's face was clearly visible. At this moment, he hated Xiong Wuliang to the extreme. After hearing Xiong Wuliang's order, Wei Ran couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Mi Liang, are you worried that Da Qin will not keep its promise?"
Xiong Wuliang glanced at Wei Ran and didn't answer. He just smiled and said, "Drink tea, drink tea."
Damn it, who dares to believe you? The grass on the grave is already three meters high!
…
Outside Wuguan City, the black flag of the Qin army finally appeared.
More than 50,000 Qin troops marched hard and appeared far outside the city... This team looked so miserable that even the cruelest people would sigh sadly when they saw them.
Of course, they all walked.
More than 20,000 war horses have been taken back to the fiefdom by Xiong Wuliang's people. It was these war horses that gave Bai Qi's more than 50,000 remaining defeated soldiers enough winter clothes and food to return to [Lantian].
This deal left Bai Qi helpless - food and grass were secondary, after all, he could still kill horses for meat... Winter clothes really saved the lives of these unlucky Qin soldiers!
These 50,000 Qin soldiers stopped and went...it took a long time to cross Danyang again and rush back to [Wuguan].
Xiong Wuliang suddenly stood up and ordered loudly: "Send people out of the city and order the Qin soldiers to stop!"
"Hand over your weapons first before you can pass!"
…
Bai Qi was almost furious. He glared at Xiong Wuliang's soldiers and said angrily: "What? Xiong Wuliang asked us to hand over our weapons?"
Wang Lu was even more furious and said angrily: "How outrageous! Our army is just taking advantage of the road, not surrendering to the Chu army!"
"Why should you teach me to hand over our weapons?"
"Qin and Chu have ceased war! Does Mi Liang want to start another war?"
The soldier who sent the message didn't care and shrugged his shoulders: "Fight if you want. Do you think I'm scared?"
"Anyway, my master said that the people of Qin cannot be trusted - if you don't hand over your weapons, you won't be able to pass the test!"
"If you don't accept it, then set up a battle with real swords and guns, and let's have a good fight!"
Seeing how arrogant the Chu soldier in front of him was, Wang Hao, who was already grumpy, almost had his eyes opened. He furiously pulled out the sword from his waist: "How dare you be so arrogant, Zhu! I will chop you alive!"
The other Qin generals on the side quickly hugged Wang Lu and comforted him: "General Wang, calm down, calm down..."
Bai Qi gritted his teeth, looked back at the 50,000 soldiers who were languid and unable to fight, and sighed: "Put down your weapons and throw them by the roadside."
"The three armies... filed through the border."
Wang Hao's eyes were about to burst and he almost cried: "Young Master Zao!"
Since the reform, the Qin State has become stronger and stronger... its current defeat at the hands of the southern barbarian Chu State is shameful enough... but it still has to hand over its weapons honestly?
Blanch!
Old Qin people are proud! I would rather die in battle than throw my sword and halberd on the ground in humiliation!
Wang Hao struggled to break away from the pull of several people, fell to his knees on the ground, and said sadly: "Young Master Zao! You can't do this!"
"I would rather die in battle than hand over the sword in my hand to Chu Man!"
Bai Qi glared at Wang Lu sternly and wanted to scold him, but in the end he let out a long sigh.
How could he not know that this was a great shame?
But now, is there any other way?
The Wuguan was in a tight formation. Although the 50,000 Qin soldiers under his command were numerous, they were exhausted... If they relied on a moment of motivation to storm the pass... But with the iron bones of the old Qin people, the result was that all 50,000 Qin soldiers fell. !
These are battle-hardened warriors!
Come to think of it, being able to follow Bai Qi through the land of Danyang in a desperate situation of lack of food and clothing, and survive until now—all of them are capable veterans.
During the Warring States Period, human life was indeed worthless... but veterans who could survive in desperate situations were quite valuable.
He must not die in such a meaningless way!
Bai Qi looked up to the sky and sighed: "Wang Lu, you better obey the order."
Wang Hao actually burst into tears, struggled to throw the iron sword away from his hands, and then covered his face and cried... The Qin soldiers around him were all moved, but they could only silently take off their swords, halberds and armor and throw them on the roadside. …
Bai Qi closed his eyes in pain - he knew that after today, the undefeated belief in the hearts of many Qin soldiers who had only been cultivated through decades of fierce fighting in the Qin State would completely collapse...
…
Xiong Wuliang stood on the top of the city and saw from a distance that the Qin soldiers put aside their weapons. He breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand and ordered: "Open the city gate and let them pass!"
"Pay attention to letting them pass through in order one by one in units of hundreds!"
"Whoever dares to cause trouble will be shot with a crossbow immediately! No accidents can happen!"
Wei Ran stared at Xiong Wuliang with disdain, wanting to spit on this kid.
Blanch!
You are so stubborn when riding a horse!
Where did the fierce and fierce energy outside Xianyang City go?
The Qin army under Bai Qi lowered their heads, lined up in a long column, and passed under the arrows of the crossbows one after another... The Chu army soldiers on the top of the city were proud and proud, venting their cynicism towards the Qin people without hesitation——
"Qin State barbarian, why are you walking with your head down?"
"Oh, it turns out we lost the battle... No wonder they are all walking with their tails between their legs!"
"Hmph, what is Tiger Wolf Qin? He is just like a wild wolf cub in front of my great Chu!"
"What are you looking at? Are you not convinced? If you are not convinced, get out, pick up the sword, and fight your Chu grandfathers again!"
…
The Qin soldiers lowered their heads, tried hard to endure the merciless laughter and curses of the Chu people, and crossed the Wuguan with bare hands... their morale was even lower than before.
Xiong Wuliang stood up on the tower, mentally calculating how much these tens of thousands of swords, halberds and shields were worth... while smiling and waving at Bai Qi, who was ashen-faced, and said hello——
…
