Chapter 93 King Jian of Qi surrenders! The State of Qi is destroyed!

A few days later.

Ying Ziye led his army to Sanghai City.

Confucian disciples such as Xunzi, Funian, and Zhang Liang from Xiaoshengxianzhuang led the people of Sanghai City to kneel at the city gate early to welcome Ying Ziye's arrival.

Yes, they chose to surrender!
The prestige of the Confucian Small Sage Zhuang in Sanghai City even surpassed that of the Qi royal family. Their actions instantly triggered the common people to follow suit.

At this moment, Zhang Liang was kneeling on the ground, his face full of humiliation, hatred and anger!
If it weren't for the long-term plan hidden in his heart, he would never kneel here and wait for the arrival of the Qin army!
"Tap tap tap"

The sound of horse hooves was as shocking as thunder, and the mighty black dragon flag of the Qin army emerged on the distant horizon, announcing their arrival!
The people of Sanghai City felt nervous and anxiously speculated about their future.

The Qin army is said to be brutal and bloodthirsty. What will be the fate of the common people like them? !

"Hmm~"

“Have they surrendered?”

"He is indeed a well-read man who knows how to judge the situation!"

Ying Ziye's eyes swept across Sanghai City, and when he saw Confucian figures such as Xunzi and Fu Nian leading the people of the city to submit to him, a trace of contempt flashed across his eyes.

really
These scholars are always the first to surrender!

"Welcome the Second Prince to Canghai!"

Xunzi prostrated himself on the ground and performed the deepest courtesy to Ying Ziye, showing the utmost humility.

Immediately afterwards, Fu Nian, Zhang Liang and the people of Sanghai City followed suit and kowtowed respectfully.

"Welcome the Second Prince to Sanghai!!!"

The shouts were deafening yet trembling, and Ying Ziye could clearly sense the fear in their hearts.

“Go into town!”

Ying Ziye glanced at the Confucianists and led his troops into the city without saying a word.

He didn't have any good feelings towards these people in Xiaoshengxianzhuang.

In the future, they will become the backbone of the anti-Qin forces.

Especially Zhang Liang, the third in command of Confucianism, who assisted Liu Bang in ending the Qin Dynasty and establishing the Han Dynasty.

Originally, Ying Ziye planned to conquer Sanghai City in the name of war and wipe out the Confucian Small Sage Village in one fell swoop to prevent future troubles.

However, the direct surrender of Confucianism caught him off guard and made him feel quite disgusted!

Since they were so servile, Ying Ziye naturally could not attack them anymore.

At this moment, we can only let them go temporarily.

If they can study and educate the people in Sanghai City with peace of mind, he will not make things difficult for them.

but.
If Confucianism repeats the mistakes of history, he will leave not a single blade of grass in Xiaoshengxianzhuang!
The capital of Qi State, Linzi.

"Report——"

"Your Majesty, there is a report of battle from the front line!"

The guards' voices echoed in the palace, startling King Jian of Qi on the throne.

at last
The news is out!
How is it going?

Can the old general Kuang Zhang withstand the offensive of the Qin army?
King Jian of Qi was filled with anxiety!
"Prime Minister, read it to me!"

King Jian of Qi did not dare to go and see it himself, so he had to ask Prime Minister Hou Sheng to do it for him.

"Yes!"

Hou Sheng took the battle report from the messenger. As soon as he saw the content, his eyes widened and he gasped!
He announced in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the second prince of the Qin army, Ying Ziye, broke through the natural barrier of the Yellow River with a single sword, General Kuang Zhang died heroically, and the 500,000-man army was routed!"

"Confucianism has led all the people of Sanghai City to surrender!"

boom--

King Jian of Qi and all the civil and military officials felt as if they were struck by lightning in an instant, with thunder rumbling in their ears, deafening!
The great general Kuang Zhang died!

Five hundred thousand troops were wiped out!
All Confucianists bowed their heads in submission!

These news were like a huge rock hitting their hearts, making them feel heartbroken.

now!

Inside the Qi royal palace, there was a dead silence. Not a sound could be heard; even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly.

King Jian of Qi, Prime Minister Hou Sheng and all the officials were stunned, with empty eyes and numb expressions!
really
Did he lose in the end?
Although everyone had a premonition in their hearts, when this moment really came, the feeling of loss was so strong!

"My king, surrender!"

"The old general Kuang Zhang died heroically, the 500,000-man army was routed, and Qi State" "has no way out!"

Prime Minister Hou Sheng knelt down and begged King Jian of Qi.

Veteran General Kuang Zhang and his 500,000-strong army were once the last pride of Qi State, but now they are gone, and the defeat of Qi State is a foregone conclusion!

"Could it be."

"Is it really hopeless?"

"Qi State."

"Are you going to perish in my hands?"

King Jian of Qi had a deathly pale face, his words were stiff, his eyes were empty, as if he had lost his soul.

"My lord, this is not your fault."

"The only thing to blame is that Qin was too powerful. Which of Yan, Zhao, Chu and Wei was not defeated by the Qin army?"

"Your Majesty, there is no need to blame yourself."

Prime Minister Hou Sheng comforted King Jian of Qi.

His words expressed everyone's thoughts: the Qin State was too powerful!

So powerful that no one can defeat it!
Among all the nations, no one could hold out against the Qin army for a month.

"Ugh!"

"The situation is over!"

"Surrender! I only hope that Qin will treat the people of Qi well!"

King Jian of Qi let out a long sigh and chose to surrender. His back suddenly became hunched, as if he had aged a lot in an instant.

If you can choose.

Who else would be willing to choose to surrender and become the king of a fallen country?

call!
Upon hearing that King Jian of Qi had decided to surrender, Prime Minister Hou Sheng and all the civil and military officials breathed a sigh of relief.

They were really afraid that King Jian of Qi would be stubborn and continue to confront Qin head-on.

In that case, they really have no way out!
Look at the State of Yan, the State of Chu, and the State of Wei. Among those who resisted to the end, which monarch did not suffer death, and which princes and ministers escaped reckoning?

If the State of Qi insisted on resisting, given Ying Ziye's character, he would never show mercy.

Fortunately.

Their king was not that stubborn.

a few days later.

Ying Ziye led the Qin army to Linzi, the capital of Qi.

In order to express his sincerity in surrendering, King Jian of Qi led all civil and military officials to kneel outside the city gate one day in advance and wait.

He knew that any conspiracy or trick would be useless in front of an extraordinary strong man like Ying Ziye!

King Jia of Wei is the best example!

With the previous experience of King Jia of Wei, King Jian of Qi would certainly not be stupid enough to set a trap to harm Ying Ziye again.

Put aside your dignity and kneel down to surrender sincerely.

A loser should behave like a loser!
Boom!Boom!Boom!
The trembling earth foreshadows the shaking in the distance, accompanied by a low roar, like thunder rolling in the sky.

King Jian of Qi, his ministers, and the people all felt their throats tighten, and a trace of unconcealable panic flashed across their faces.

This vibration is the sign of the approaching army!
Ying Ziye, the commander of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry, the Golden Fire Cavalry, the Battle-hardened Armored Soldiers, the Black Armored Iron Army and other elite Qin troops swept into the vision of the Qi people like a storm.

A strong pressure came over me, making my heart beat slower and almost suffocating.

"Tattoo..."

Ying Ziye stood proudly on his horse, his eyes like an eagle, examining King Jian of Qi below.

"King Jian of Qi, lead your civil and military officials, as well as the people of the city, to surrender to the Qin State! Hand over the letter of surrender and the imperial seal!"

King Jian of Qi looked solemn and sad. He knelt down and slowly walked towards Ying Ziye. He raised his hands above his head and respectfully handed over the letter of surrender and the imperial seal.

Ying Ziye looked at King Jian of Qi's sincere gesture of surrender, shook his head slightly and sighed.

Hey……

Another country that surrendered!
