"You still have to be careful. Now that the time is ripe, I will go find Mr. Ji and ask him to persuade King Wei Zeng to surrender. You should also be prepared. If Mr. Ji fails, we will take action." Zhang Er said in a low voice.
"I understand, but brother-in-law, I don't understand one thing. We can obviously open the city gate directly and cooperate with the Qin army inside and outside, why do we have to go to such trouble?" the deputy general said in a low voice.
Looking at his brother-in-law, Zhang Er was not angry. After the death of Lord Xinling, Zhang Er left Daliang. He relied on the financial support of his wife and father-in-law to get where he is today. His father-in-law was a wealthy businessman, so he was not very good at disciplining his brother-in-law. He sometimes had a bad mind. It's normal that it can't be turned around.
"Wei is our root. If we directly cooperate with the Qin army, can we still stay in Wei in the future? Our ancestral graves will probably be dug up by the people of Wei. Of course, there are also some selfish motives on my part. Wei Wangzeng was also a king For the sake of future generations, if I can keep him alive, I will still keep him alive." Zhang Er said in a low voice.
Zhang Er sincerely admired Lord Xinling. It would be best if he could save the Wei royal family from massacre. This was also the last thing Zhang Er did for his former king, ensuring the blood sacrifice of the Wei royal family. Continuously.
There are two consequences of breaking the city and voluntarily surrendering. Zhang Er's men all reported the fate of the powerful and powerful families in the places where the Qin army went, so Zhang Er knew very well that if the Qin army directly broke the city, even if the King of Wei After surrendering, the rest of the Wei royal family could not avoid the Qin army's butcher's knife, so he thought of letting the young master pretend to persuade Wei Wangzeng to surrender. If Wei Wangzeng did not surrender, just change to another Wei king.
"I understand. I thought my brother-in-law wanted to take credit. After all, it would be better to tell the story of the credit for opening the city gate than to persuade the King of Wei to surrender and protect Daliang City." The deputy general said with a smile.
"Get out of here, Mr. Naigong!" Zhang Er immediately kicked the deputy general.
"Brother-in-law, don't be angry, I'm leaving right away." The deputy general also knew that he had angered Zhang Er and quickly climbed over the wall and left with a smile.
Seeing his unattractive brother-in-law leave, Zhang Er calmed down and went to find the young master who was still teasing the dog. After briefly explaining the situation outside to Young Master, Zhang Er said
"Young Master, the Yan army was defeated. The Qin army surrounded Daliang and cut off all the roads in Daliang City. The entire Daliang City is devastated. The time is ripe. Please take action, Master."
Young Master pretended to put down the pure white puppy in his hand, looked at Zhang Er meaningfully and said
"I remember that my uncle was once the most proud of you as his disciple. If you were ranked among my uncle's disciples in terms of ability and reputation, you would be among the top five. Why are you willing to serve the Qin State?"
"Serving the Qin State? Young master is right to think so. After all, Mr. Ziyou is also the Jinghou of Great Qin." Zhang Er did not deny the young master's hypothesis, but instead generously admitted that he served the Qin State.
"How much did I think you would defend yourself? Sure enough, my uncle's retainers are as frank as ever. If I were you, I would probably make the same choice as you. The current Wei State is indeed rotten to the core. The former overlord Wei It no longer exists. I have also heard something about what happened between you and Marquis Jing. I should thank you for protecting the people of Wei." The young master pretended to look at Zhang Er and said.
Hearing Young Master's false words, Zhang Er clenched his fists calmly.
"In the past, my Majesty had two greatest wishes. One was to save the declining state of Wei and restore the original hegemony of Wei. Resist Zhao in the north, attack Qin in the west, make peace with Qi, and attack Chu, so as to redefine the strategy for Wei to dominate the world. The foundation, but unfortunately the king was jealous of his elder brother, jealous of his colleagues in the court, deprived of power by the late king, and was poisoned, and finally died of depression. There is no chance of this wish coming true," Zhang Er said.
"What about the second wish?" Young Master looked at Zhang Er with fake interest and continued to ask.
"The second wish is to reform the civil service and restructure the penalties of Wei State so that the people will no longer be oppressed by corrupt officials and cruel officials, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment." Zhang Er said.
Young Master Jiu said thoughtfully
"Now it seems that the State of Qin has the best chance of realizing my uncle's wish. No wonder you disciples and all the celebrities in the Wei State will serve the State of Qin."
"Well, this is not something I, a dog owner, can understand. Sometimes people are not as good as dogs. Dogs don't have so many thoughts, but they can live a very happy and simple life." Gongzi pretended to hug his pet dog again and said.
Looking at Gongzi Fake teasing his pet dog, Zhang Er clenched his fists. Today he discovered that Gongzi Fake was not as bad as the rumors said, and even Gongzi Fake's intelligence was beyond what people could guess. Thinking of the rumors that Gongzi Fake was in Wei, Zhang Er looked at Gongzi Fake with vigilant eyes. He found that Gongzi Fake was hiding so deeply that it was scary.
"Don't look at me like that. I'm not very interested in power. My biggest hobby is raising dogs. It's just that I once met a sage who taught me a lot. Later I I have seen and heard too much, and I have no interest in the throne or the world anymore. People's hearts are unpredictable. Is it really good to sit on the throne? Not really, it is better to be a rich man and the best dog breeder in the world. ." Young Master pretended to put down his pet dog and stood up and said.
"Woof woof woof~" The pure white three-inch puppy surrounded the young master's fake feet affectionately, and kept rubbing its head against the young master's fake boots.
"Did you see it? If you do a little good to the dog, he will regard you as the master of his life and will never betray you. But what about people? Promoting kindness and fighting against rice. Humans are really inferior to dogs." The young master lied about his life. Feeling and walking outside
"I'm going to meet my father and ask Mr. Zhang Er to fulfill our agreement."
"That's natural, but I'm curious about who the sage you met was?" Zhang Er asked.
The young master pretended to turn around and opened his mouth slightly without making any sound. As the young master's fake lips moved, Zhang Er's face immediately became horrified.
Young Master Fake ignored Zhang Er's reaction and headed straight outside. Zhang Er stood there blankly, and a slight tug made Zhang Er wake up. Zhang Er looked down and found that it was the young master's fake pet dog pulling at the corner of his clothes. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the ground.
In the Palace of Wei, the young master pretended to kneel in the center of the hall. Wang Zeng of Wei was holding the table with both hands, his eyes were red, his chest was rising and falling, and his beard was trembling up and down with his excited breathing.
"I didn't expect that my son had secretly negotiated with the Qin State a long time ago and was ready to sell the Wei State at a good price! There were civil and military peacemakers in the Manchu Dynasty, there were those who fought, and there were also those who surrendered, but I didn't expect that the Lord You are behind the war faction, and you are also the main messenger behind the surrender faction. The entire Wei court has been tricked by you, including my father, right!?" Wei Wangzeng roared angrily.
In his entire life, Wei Wangzeng never thought that his son, who was submissive in front of him, would actually be the controller of two of the three factions in the entire Wei court. Thinking of Wei Ji's appearance in front of him over the years, and thinking of the changes in the Wei court, Wei Wangzeng felt like He was like an actor, letting his son watch.
In response to Wang Zeng's anger, the young master pretended to kneel on the ground and said:
"Father, please calm down. I have never teased my father, let alone controlled the court of Wei State. Everything I have done is because I am the crown prince of Wei State. There is no hope for me. Please My father can issue an edict, open the city and surrender, so that the people and the clan can be saved from massacre."
Wei Wangzeng looked at Young Master Ji who was kneeling on the ground with his head lowered. He suddenly felt that he had failed as the King of Wei. He was neither as ruthless as his father nor as skillful as his own son. Thinking of this, Wei Wangzeng's whole body went limp and he slumped down. on the throne.
"I want to ask you something. Is your incompetence all these years just a pretense?" Wei Wangzeng asked.
"Yes and no, I have no desire for the throne. To me, humans are inferior to dogs." The young master falsely replied.
After hearing the false words of the young master, Wei Wangzeng fell into deep thought, and the entire hall fell into a strange silence. Wei Wangzeng sat slumped on the throne and looked at Gongzi Ji who was kneeling on the ground. Gongzi Ji lowered his head and looked at his face reflected on the floor.
"What conditions did you negotiate with Qin?" Wei Wangzeng asked, closing his eyes.
"Mr. Jinghou of Qin, Mr. Ziyou promised that if we take the initiative to open the city and surrender, we can guarantee that the people will not be harmed at all, let alone the Wei royal family. As for the father, he will be brought back to Xianyang, where he will have no worries about food and clothing, and will be a Rich man. As for his sons and ministers, the same is true." Young Master said falsely.
"Yes, killing the whole city is also the destruction of the country, and surrendering voluntarily is also the destruction of the country. It is better to surrender. Just now Lian Po asked me to take away the control of the guards. If you want to surrender, you need to surrender Lian Po first, otherwise The surrender may be ruined by Lian Po." After Wei Wangzeng finished speaking, he wrote an edict on the desk. Looking at his last edict, Wei Wangzeng reluctantly pressed the seal of King Wei on the edict. .
King Zeng of Wei closed the edict and threw it towards the young master.
"Take it and go!" Wei Wangzeng said.
The edict fell to the ground. Young Master pretended to pick up the surrender edict on the ground and said
"Father, please believe that I did not deceive or trick my father. I did some things out of necessity."
"None of this matters anymore. It was only a matter of time before the Kingdom of Wei fell, but I didn't expect that it would be in my hands. Until now, there is only one thing that I don't understand as a father. When did you become like this?" ? You were not so scheming when you were young." Wei Wangzeng asked.
The young master did not expect that Wei Wangzeng would use the title "father", but he still said honestly
"My son doesn't have any scheming. He just sees and hears too much, so he naturally understands some things."
"Maybe your temperament is more suitable for Taoism, maybe you are more suitable for Taoism than Wushang, but it's a pity." Wei Wangzeng waved his hand and told the young master to leave.
The young master pretended to pick up the edict and left the palace of Wei. After returning to his mansion, the young master summoned Zhang Er and told Zhang Er the imperial edict and what Wang Zeng of Wei had said.
"Lian Po is nothing to be afraid of. The young master only needs to hand over the crown prince order to me, and I will naturally have a way to capture him." Zhang Er said with cupped hands.
"I'll leave it to you sir. Mr. Xinping has been studying ways to fight against the Qin army in the General's Mansion day and night. If Mr. Xinping is captured, then the matter will be done." Young Master said falsely.
"Of course, I would like to ask you to wait for my news, and also ask you to be ready to surrender. Prepare to surrender in Kaicheng tomorrow," Zhang Er said.
"nature."
After Zhang Er left the Young Master's Mansion and returned to his own mansion, he recruited the killers of Luo Wang. After Black and White Xuanjian left Wei State, Luo Wen of Wei State was handed over to Luan Shen, who was also a Tianzi-level killer.
After Zhang Er conveyed the order to capture Lian Po, Luan Shen immediately went to prepare. After giving orders to Luan Shen, Zhang Er recruited a group of disciples just in case. These people were all good players, including those who were proficient in Yi. The dog thief with the skill of appearance.
"Tiger Talisman? Just leave this matter to me." Dog Thief said.
That night, the General's Mansion.
The sound of fighting resounded through the General's Mansion. Lian Po stood covered in blood among the guards. The ground around him was littered with corpses, including those of the killers and those of the guards of the General's Mansion. Lian Po held a sword in one hand and a spear in the other. Looking at the snare killers around him, Lian Po smiled.
"Now that you're here, don't hide your face."
Luan Shen and Zhang Er, who were in the dark, heard Lian Po's words and immediately walked out of the dark into the courtyard.
"Zhang Er!?" Lian Po looked at Zhang Er in surprise.
"Xinping-kun." Zhang Er cupped his hands and said.
Looking at Zhang Er and then at the chaotic gods beside Zhang Er, Lian Po understood everything immediately. He knew that the Wei State had no hope of fighting anymore. Ever since Qin State attacked Wei State, the entire Wei State had no fighting spirit. .
"Hahaha, it seems I don't have to deduce it. Daliang City has been infiltrated by Qin. I just didn't expect that Korea could still hold on to Xinzheng back then. Why couldn't Wei hold on to Daliang?" Lian Po asked angrily. road.
"Korea held fast to Xinzheng, and the Xinzheng defenders suffered numerous casualties. If Wei had held on to Daliang, how many casualties would there have been? Lord Xinping is from Zhao, so he would naturally not pity the people of Wei. What Lord Xinping is angry about is not the surrender of Wei, but the surrender of Wei. It's probably because Wei didn't consume Qin's strength and thus bought time for Zhao." Zhang Er said in a deep voice.
After hearing Zhang Er's words, Lian Po immediately fell silent. He did have this purpose in helping Wei and Chu fight against Qin, so he could not refute.
"Xinping-kun, it's better not to resist," Zhang Er said.
Lian Po, whose face was stained with blood, raised his head and looked at Zhang Er, and immediately laughed out loud. The laughter was full of sarcasm, as if he had heard something funny.
"I, Lian Po, have fought eighty-seven battles, big and small, in my life. I have won and lost, but I have never surrendered! Hahahaha, you are right, my heart is for Zhao, and I will die in front of Zhao!" After saying this, Lian Po looked towards In the direction of Zhao Guo, he immediately swung his sword and killed himself.
As a stream of blood floated in the air, Lian Po looked in the direction of Zhao Guo with eyes as big as lanterns and fell to the ground. The guards around watched Lian Po commit suicide and immediately shouted
"General, move slowly, we are coming!"
After saying this, all the guards immediately committed suicide and followed Lian Po to death.
