Changguo is located less than a hundred miles west of Linzi, and can be regarded as the last gateway to the west of Linzi.

Zhou Yafu was the surrendered general Shen Tu Jia as his leader, and he forced the surrender of the Changguo County Magistrate without bloodshed. However, the Han, Han and Zhao coalition forces had just entered Changguo County, and an astonishing news suddenly spread to the army.

"What did you say?!" Zhou Yafu grabbed the iron sword dead soldier who came to report the news and roared in disbelief, "Linzi was captured first by the Chu army?! How is this possible? How is this possible?!" Zhou Yafu repeated three sentences in a row, which showed that he could not accept such a result.

Zhao General Bai Yan also said in disbelief: "I just received an urgent report yesterday. The Chu army had just arrived in Boyang, and there were more than 200 miles away from Lixia. How could they arrive in Linzi overnight?"

The iron sword dead man who reported the news smiled bitterly: "The two generals don't know that the Chu army came over from Mount Dongtai."

"East Mount Tai?" Zhou Yafu's heart sterned and said in a deep voice, "I understand, I understand all! I said why the Chu army's marching speed was so slow. It turned out that this was just a fool, but this was just a fool." After a pause, Zhou Yafu suddenly said, "No, or is it wrong. If you cross East Mount Tai, there will be only three or five thousand people at most. How can you take Linzi?"

"This villain is not very clear." The iron sword dead man smiled bitterly, "Anyway, the battle outside the city last night was fought for a whole night, and the fire burned for a whole night. In short, Linzi fell. General Zhao Xi of Qi has surrendered, and King Han He of Qi has also given birth to the small city of Linzi."

"What? Han He also surrendered?" Zhou Yafu's young and handsome face suddenly turned pale. What's this fucking thing? The Han, Han and Zhao coalition forces tried their best to lure Shen Tu Jia's main force out of the Qi army, but let the Chu army get a big advantage from behind. This secret loss made the coalition forces suffer a lot.

Moreover, does Han He have sacrificed the city mean that the Qin King's jade seal has also fallen into the hands of the Chu army?

Before leaving, the Prime Minister repeatedly reminded himself that the Chu army must not allow the Chu army to attack Linzi first, especially the Qin King's jade seal must not fall into the hands of the Chu army, otherwise the consequences will be very serious. The Prime Minister's advice is still in his ears, but the Chu army has already emerged and taken Linzi first, and Han He has really surrendered, this corrupt!

However, this matter must not be forgotten like this, and we must find a way to save the situation.

Next, Zhou Yafu called Shen Tu Jia, Bai Yan, Han Ju and Tian Hao to the front and gave him this order. The generals agreed and took their orders.

The small city of Linzi is now full of Chu troops.

As for the Qi imperial guards, who were originally stationed in the small city, they were moved to the big city, and the 30,000 troops of General Zhao Xi of Qi were also moved to the big city from outside the city.

Xiang Zheng made such arrangements, which is also a prudent thing.

The Grand Tutor once said that one should not have the intention to harm others, and one should not be without the intention to guard against others.

Although Han He had surrendered, Zhao Xi, Lou Jing and Qi's powerful people also showed enough kindness to the State of Chu. However, no matter what, there were only 3,000 imperial guards stationed in Linzi, so the situation in Linzi was still quite subtle. At least before the Chu army arrived, everything still had variables.

Although the Chu army occupied the small city, Xiang Zheng did not rashly move into the palace.

This is also Xiang Zheng is smart enough that he will never rashly touch the sensitive and fragile nerve of Qi people at this time.

Xiang Zheng only enlisted the lieutenant of the Imperial Army of Qi as his temporary headquarters. At this time, Xiang Zheng was in his temporary headquarters to invite Emperor Xun Han He, Minister of Qi Lou Jing, General Zhao Xi and dozens of powerful people in Qi. At the banquet, the guests and hosts had a happy conversation, but it was difficult to hide the bitterness and loneliness that appeared between Han He's eyebrows.

If there is a choice, Han He will certainly not be willing to abdicate, and will not be willing to surrender.

Unfortunately, Han He had no choice at all. Although Linzi's small city had not yet been lost at that time, and there were five thousand elite imperial guards stationed in the small city. But this was useless at all, because these more than five thousand imperial guards were from Linzi. The Chu army only summoned hundreds of rural elders, and the imperial guards began to shake their morale.

The reason why the Chu army was able to capture Linzi was not only relying on military power, but more on the hearts of the people. Han Xin, Han He and his son ignored the hearts of the people and fished in the dry pond finally bear bitter fruit today. The Chu State spared no effort to win over the powerful forces over the past decade, and infiltration finally achieved rich rewards.

Therefore, it is no accident that such a result today has happened.

Once the morale of the Qi imperial guards was shaken, Han He lost the capital to resist stubbornly.

Escape to Linqu became a delusion. Without the protection of the imperial guards, he could leave Linzi alone and Linqu? Even if the Chu army did not come to intercept him, the bandits along the way could kill him.

So in the end, Han He had no choice but to offer the city and surrender to the Chu army.

Seeing Han He's face full of bitterness and loneliness, Xiang Zheng felt that the temperature was almost the same. He said, "King of Qi, if I remember correctly, your ancestor should be Huaiyin, right?" Han He had issued an edict to abdicate at the same time as he surrendered. Xiang Zheng called him "King of Qi just out of politeness.

Han He hurriedly knelt down and answered respectfully.

Now as a prisoner, life and death are all in the mind of others. Han He can't do anything to be respectful. Although offering the Qin King's jade seal is a great achievement, who knows what the Xiang father and son think? If Xiang Zhuang thinks that Han He is a hidden danger, so he instructs Xiang Zheng to assassinate him, the powerful Qi land would not be able to ask for his life?

Xiang Zheng smiled and waved his hand and said, "The King of Qi does not have to do this. This prince has submitted a report to the father and exiled you to the Marquis of Huaiyin. If nothing unexpected happens, the prince should not reject the prince's memorial."

Of course, Xiang Zhuang would not reject Xiang Zheng's remarks. In fact, this was simply instructed by Xiang Zhuang.

Because in Xiangzhuang's eyes, Han He was not a person at all, and it was only a matter of one sentence to let him die. The reason why he was exiled to be the Marquis of Huaiyin was to buy the hearts of the people of Qi and gain a reputation of benevolence and righteousness. The battle of the world was based on soldiers and soldiers, but to be content with peace of the world, one had to rely on the hearts of the people.

The people's hearts and the army have always been two powerful tools in the hands of rulers, and neither is missing.

One of the most realistic considerations is that if Xiang Zhuang killed Han He now, Qi Ren would certainly not say anything, but he would inevitably think in his heart that Xiang Zhuang was actually another Xiang Yu, cruel and unkind. Then one day in the future, if Xiang Zhuang wants to be emperor, Qi Ren is likely to rebel because they are afraid and worried about it.

However, if Xiang Zhuang had a reputation for benevolence and righteousness, the result might be different.

Sure enough, as soon as Xiang Zheng said this, Lou Jing, Zhao Xi and the powerful people present were moved together. Even Han He was a little surprised. He immediately stood up and bowed to Xiang Zheng, and said sincerely: "The King of Chu is kind and righteous, and the little Hou is admired. Looking back on the previous criticisms of Chu, the little Hou felt deeply ashamed and ashamed."

Han He said sincerely in this sentence. He thought that he would not even have a life to protect, but he never thought that he could still be granted a title of marquis. Moreover, he was the Marquis of Huaiyin where his ancestors borrowed him. No matter what, this was a return home in glory.

Zhao Xi, Lou Jing and more than a dozen powerful people in the country also knelt down and praised the righteousness of the King of Chu.

Xiang Zheng saw all the reactions of Han He, Lou Jing, Zhao Xi and others, but he was really moved in his heart. If he wanted to take over the power from his father and become a qualified king, he would learn a lot, such as Han He. Xiang Zheng did not want to kill him, but he did not expect to be named Marquis of Huaiyin. So it must be said that Jiang is still the old man.

Until he walked out of the palace, Tian Heng still suspected that he was in a dream.

Since he was expelled from Linzi by Guan Ying, Tian Heng has always dreamed of returning to Qi and becoming the king again. For this lifelong wish, he has also been preparing and working hard all the time. Unfortunately, Xiang Zhuang did not give him the opportunity to lead troops alone. Tian Heng knew that Xiang Zhuang was guarding against him.

Without Xiang Zhuang nodding, Tian Heng knew that he had no chance at all.

However, just when Tian Heng was about to despair, happiness suddenly fell from the sky. He thought that being summoned to the palace this time was just because Xiang Zhuang wanted to ask himself about the powerful people of the Qi family, but he never expected that Xiang Zhuang would take the initiative to restore his throne, which was the King of Qi, and the King of Qi!

At this moment, Tian Heng really wanted to laugh three times to the sky. How could he not be excited after years of long-term wish come true?

However, Tian Heng tried hard to restrain his emotions, because he could feel that behind him was a pair of cold eyes staring at him in secret, watching his every move. Any frivolous move would be immediately heard from Xiang Zhuang's ears, Xuanyiwei was everywhere.

When he returned to the mansion in a daze, Tian Poufa and Zi both came here as soon as they heard about it.

"Uncle, the King of Chu really wants to restore your throne?" Tian Poubai couldn't wait to say, "And it's King of Qi?"

Tian Poubai cannot be unexcited or anxious, because Tian Heng has no son, so he is the only nephew of his relatives. If Tian Heng restores the throne, then Tian Poubai will be the unscrupulous prince. If Tian Heng takes a step back, even if Tian Heng has a legitimate prince in the future, he will at least be able to get a general.

Zidu was a little worried and frowned and said, "Lord, can the King of Chu be testing you?"

"It shouldn't be." Tian Heng shook his head and said in a deep voice, "When the King of Chu just made this proposal, I refused to accept it. If the King of Chu was just a test, why should he persist again and again?"

"That's strange." Zidu said, "The King of Chu has been guarding against his lord over the years, but why did he become abnormal this time?"

"Hey, why do you think so much?" Tian Baodian slapped the table and shouted, "No matter whether he is a test or not, as long as his uncle returns to Qi, it will be like fish returning to the sea and dragon creeping into the Jiuyuan. Haha, at that time, the King of Chu could not change his mind."

Tian Heng's eyes were also shining, and he wanted to set out for Qi now, but this was obviously impossible. Xiang Zhuang told him clearly that it was impossible for him to settle the country before the situation in Qi was clear.
