The messenger soldier couldn't help but ask: "Captain, what's wrong with you?"

The captain of Wuzu shook his head and said in disbelief: "Did you hear? What did King Qin just say? He called our team brothers!"

The messenger nodded with emotion and sighed: "King Qin is not as cruel and bloodthirsty as the legends say, but he is very kind. By the way, captain, if the Qin army attacks the mountain at night, we should

What should we do?”

"What do you want to say?" The captain seemed to have come back to his senses, his face darkened, and his tone became a little heavier unconsciously.

The messenger was startled, but he showed a look of embarrassment. He hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "It turns out that the Wu army in Xiaoguan is our Qiang and Di people.

The general fled back from Shanggui with the Huns. We were all driven to the outskirts, and the Huns occupied the inner fort. The brothers just refused to accept it. Why are they, the Huns, superior to others? Is it just because Your Majesty was born in the Huns?

I heard that the Qin State does not distinguish between races. Nowadays, all Qin people, whether they are Han, Qiang, Di, or Xiongnu, are treated equally, whether they are soldiers or pay grain, there is no discrimination at all, and the taxes are incredibly low.

But what about us? Except for the Huns, the chiefs of the tribes of our two tribes, and the master of Wubao, who else can call themselves Zhao people? We don’t know what to sell for our lives, it’s really not worth it!”

"Shut up!" The captain's expression suddenly changed and he scolded: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, our team will kill you on the spot!"

The messenger soldier shut his mouth obediently. But the captain still looked at the direction the cavalry was leaving, with a faint trace of struggle in his eyes.

As soon as the Yunfeng people came out of the valley, Yu Wenjun began to complain: "General, that Zhu Ji is so arrogant. He has made it clear that he doesn't take you seriously. From what I see, Lord Yi Wen, don't even think about asking him to surrender again."

Come here, will you send your army to attack tomorrow?"

After the expedition, Yu Wenjun immediately changed his tune and no longer respected Yunfeng as the king. Yunfeng had no choice but to let her go.

Liu Yueru took it and said: "Yunlang, Zhu Ji used to serve under my late brother, and then he returned to Liu Yao. If there is a chance, let me come and persuade him."

Yunfeng pondered and said: "That's right. In terms of blood relationship, Yueru, you are the youngest daughter of Emperor Guangwen of the Han Dynasty (Liu Yuan), and Liu Yao is just a fake son. The difference cannot be calculated. Zhu Ji may have incense.

So, let's go back to the stronghold quickly and take advantage of the darkness tonight to capture several forts and beacons around Xiaoguan, so as to cut off Zhu Ji's luck." He said and waved his hand fiercely: "Let's go!"

The sound of horses' hooves suddenly accelerated, and the cavalry left the canyon in an instant.

This chapter: Madman (Hand Beat)

In such weather, Yunfeng personally led 4,000 personal guards and 10,000 infantry, and headed towards the gorge road again. The first target should be Guoer Mountain Sui.

Guoer Mountain is about seventy feet high. The beacon on the top of the mountain is five feet long and two feet high. There is a wall outside the beacon that is thirteen feet long from north to south, ten feet wide from east to west, and half a foot high. Outside the small city is another ten feet wide.

of trenches.

To attack Fengsui, siege equipment cannot go up the mountain. It can only be captured by manpower, and Liupan Mountain is located in the northwest. There are no trees in it, and now it is the harsh winter, and the bare and small tree trunks cannot provide cover. Guoershan Fengsui

Although there were only two to three hundred people guarding the fort, the defenders were in a commanding position, and their crossbows could be fired extremely far. Facing such a fortress, one could not rely on large numbers of people. Under normal circumstances, even if thousands of people were killed or injured, it would not be easy to succeed.

"Dang Dang Dang~~!" The Qin army's arrival in the dark caused the harsh sound of gongs to resound. In the blink of an eye, a bonfire was lit up at Feng Sui.

Yunfeng quickly ordered his infantry to advance forward and set up defenses on both sides of the gorge according to the mountain to block reinforcements that might come from the fortress, while he himself led his personal guards to capture the Guoer Mountain beacon.

On the beacon, I saw the black shadows all over the mountains and plains approaching slowly with shields in hand. The hesitation in my heart made the captain's face appear a little distorted.

The soldier who sent the order earlier hurriedly advised: "Captain, make a decision quickly, the Qin army is coming up soon. If there are casualties, it will be too late to surrender by then!"

At this moment, just outside the range of the crossbow, a voice came from the hillside: "Is that brother there during the day? Please come out and talk to me." Then, several torches were lit.

The captain looked around and saw in the flickering light of the fire that it was King Qin who was coming in person! He immediately responded subconsciously: "Young general is not worthy of being called so by King Qin."

Yun Feng said calmly: "Now that time is urgent, I just want to ask you, are you willing to join our Qin Kingdom?"

"This..." Although the captain had been thinking about this issue all day long, Yunfeng still didn't know how to respond to Yunfeng's blunt inquiry. In fact, he also understood that surrendering to Qin was the best way out, but...

As a soldier, surrendering without a fight always makes me feel uncomfortable.

All the soldiers around him looked at the captain, with expectations and hesitation in their eyes, but no determination to fight to the death. The huge pressure made cold sweat break out on the captain's forehead.

Yunfeng continued: "What if you block our Qin army from Xiao Pass? It will only be a matter of time before Shihu breaks Tongguan. By then, will you surrender to Shihu again? I don't think you will come out like this.

The next best thing. I can promise you tonight that all meritorious officers and soldiers will be rewarded according to the law, and everyone will treat them as the citizens of Qin.

, If you are willing to stay in the army, you are welcome. If you are not willing, you are not forced to do so. You can get a piece of fertile land in Qinzhou or in Guanzhong in the future, with an average of fifty to one hundred acres per capita. Haha~~ The tax of our Qin State

You all should have heard that the corvees provide food and pay according to the day, so please make a decision quickly as to where to go!"

"Captain, captain~~" Under the leadership of the messenger, the soldiers called out one after another, and the meaning behind their words was very obvious.

The captain turned to look at the eager soldiers, took a deep breath, and saluted: "Please wait a moment, Your Majesty!" Then, he waved his hand fiercely: "Switch, release the suspension bridge, let's go out of the fort to welcome Your Majesty!"

Suddenly, loud cheers erupted from the sky above the beacon. After a rumbling sound, the suspension bridge was slowly lowered, and more than two hundred soldiers walked out in formation. The leader of the team knelt down on one knee, holding a sword in his hand, and shouted in unison: "Final general.

Welcome your Majesty!"

Yun Feng led the crowd forward, took the sword and handed it back to the captain, saying sternly: "Everyone, please rise. From today on, you are all our Qin people, and you will never break your promise!"

"General, thank you so much, Your Majesty!" The soldiers stood up in response.

Looking at the unfamiliar faces, Yun Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was unwilling to order his personal guards to attack unless he had to, even though he and Zhang Lingyun's skills in leading the team might be able to minimize casualties.

However, regardless of his status as the King of Qin, does it have any status to attack a small beacon in person? There is a fortress behind the beacon, and the fortress can be garrisoned with thousands of troops. It also requires manpower to attack, which is a big effort.
