Chapter 172: Curved Beam (4)

At the head of Quliang City, watching the Quliang people have to leave their hometown, Li Zuoche turned around and stared at Meng Tian on the city tower, very dissatisfied.

"General Meng, these people are unarmed, and they promise not to cause trouble for the Qin army. Why do you still drive them away?"

With the guarantee that Meng Tian would not harm the lives of Qu Liang people, and Meng Tian promised that Li Zuoche would not let Li Zuoche deal with Zhao State, Li Zuoche barely chose to surrender to the Qin army.

Meng Tian’s ancestor was a native of Qi. Li Zuoche felt that surrendering to Meng Tian would have less of the feeling of surrendering to Qin people. But unexpectedly, the young Meng Tian was very decisive in doing things and expelled all the surrendered Zhao soldiers and the residents of Quliang City.

"Li Zuoche, you came from a military family and had studied military strategy. After hearing your father talk about his experience in leading troops, you understand the most in your heart why I chose to expel them."

Meng Tian smiled, not angry at all: "I promised you not to hurt the lives of the Quliang people, but I also have to consider the lives of the soldiers under my command. If they are driven out, they will not shed blood. Our soldiers are at ease. The best of both worlds and there is no better way to deal with them."

"But why don't you give them food?" Li Zuoche asked.

"It's not that I didn't give them food. Three days of dry food is enough for them to arrive in Handan."

Li Zuoche stopped talking. Although Meng Tian was young and his ancestors came from Qilu where Confucianism flourished, Meng Tian was cunning everywhere and he was very skillful in using the Legalist arts.

Meng Tian expelled the Quliang people, but left behind Li Zuoche's relatives and friends, saying that this was the kindness given to Li Zuoche. But Li Zuoche knew very well that Meng Tian was not at ease with him, the newly-submitted person. The people left behind were more hostage than being a hostage.

There is no way to betray him, Li Zuoche lamented in his heart. Now that he fell into Meng Tian's net Gu and could never fly out again.

Qu Liang's elders left Qu Liang reluctantly, and turned around from time to time. Seeing Li Zuoche talking and laughing with the Qin generals, they couldn't help but curse.

"This Li Zuoche is really a tiger father and a dog son. He actually surrendered to the Qin army and helped deal with his own fellow villagers!"

"No, I heard that the idea of ​​expelling Qu Liang people was given by Li Zuoche."

"No way? Li Zuoche is such a person?"

"Why can't it be? Otherwise, why can Li Zuoche's relatives and friends stay in Quliang City? It is said that those who stay in the city have also received a lot of money..."

Looking at the resentful expressions of the fellow villagers, Li Zuoche smiled bitterly. Shang Yang said it well, wise people do not plan for the public, and the eyes of the common people are mostly filled with turbid ignorance.

"The State of Zhao is in danger!"

Li Zuoche raised his head, looked at the gloomy sky, sighed, completely cutting off the idea of ​​seeking an opportunity to escape.

The Qin generals emerged in a large number of talents, and the older generation Wang Jian, Yang Duanhe, Qiang Sheng, Xin Sheng and others attacked from all directions. The younger generation of generals, Wang Ben, Li Xin, Meng Tian and others, gradually emerged. In contrast, Zhao State, except for Li Mu and Sima Shang, there was no other general who could stand alone.

"General, did Li Zuoche really surrender to our army?"

After Li Zuoche left, Meng Bao asked.

"So what if you are sincere, so what if you are false. As long as Li Zuoche enters my military camp and has to serve our army in the future, that's fine!"

Li Zuoche has not completely returned to his heart, Meng Tian understands it in his heart, but he is not anxious at all. A gentleman's words are as good as he can't pursue him. If he says Li Zuoche doesn't let him deal with Zhao, Meng Tian will definitely not betrayal.

"Menghu, Mengbao, do you still remember how you learned how to ride a horse?"

"The general asked what this is for?"

Meng Bao touched his head and felt a little embarrassed. When he was learning to ride a horse, he fell off the horse's back countless times. But then he thought, Meng Tian had fallen off the horse and was still in a coma for three days.

"When I first learned to ride a horse, I was not familiar with it, and the horse would refuse me to ride on his back. I remember the old general once told me that the horse would not be allowed to ride because I had not tamed it yet."

Meng Hu held his chin and thoughtfully, suddenly reacted: "In fact, people are the same as horses. This Li Zuoche is like a fierce horse. Only by taming him can he be truly used by the general."

"Yes, a rebellious talent, although it is a wild horse, which is useless to me. Although Li Zuoche is also a wild horse, fortunately he has received it in my fence."

The interaction between people is essentially a process of mutual domestication. Looking at Li Zuoche's departure, and then looking at Quliang's resentment towards Li Zuoche, Meng Tian had to despise himself and became a little despicable.

When the Quliang people entered Handan, they not only confirmed that Li Zuoche surrendered to the Qin army, but also consumed the food in Handan.

"General, what should I do if I can't conquer Li Zuoche's heart in the end?" Meng Hu suddenly poured a bucket of cold water when he saw Meng Tian full of confidence.

"What should I do? Isn't it okay to cut it with one knife!"

Whenever Meng Tian and Meng Hu discussed the great principles, Meng Bao felt that he was too big. Meng Tian had to spend so much effort on Zhao Guo, and Meng Bao really felt that it was not worth it. In his opinion, there was something that could not be solved by a sharp ring knife.

"The guy with a big limb is just aware of beating and killing..."

Meng Hu smiled and scolded, Meng Bao's temperament became more and more in love with Li Bi.

"Hehe, the general asks me to kill whoever I want you to beat and kill you!"

Meng Bao touched the ring knife on his waist and laughed heartily. No matter what, the relationship between the three of them was not comparable to that of other generals.

At this time, a gust of autumn wind blew, rolling up the yellow leaves on the ground and flying in the wind.

The frost moon is coming, and there is a hint of chill in the air.

Meng Tian let Meng Hu and Meng Bao fight. During the war, the soldiers needed to relax for themselves.

If Li Zuoche really can't integrate...

Meng Tian shook his head and smiled bitterly. On that day, he didn't know whether he would choose to be King Hui of Wei or learn from King Hui of Wei.

"General, I have counted the food and grass of Quliang."

At this time, Luo Jia rode a yellow-brown war horse and trotted all the way with a bright smile on his face.

"One hundred thousand stones, a total of 100,000 stones of food and grass are enough for our army to eat here for two years."

Luo Jia kicked his legs and jumped steadily from the horse's back. Since he had the simple stirrup, Luo Jia felt that his riding skills seemed to have improved a lot, and it was not much worse than Li Bi.

"Quliang's arsenal is full of arrows and long halberds. I asked the officials guarding the arsenal that some of these weapons were to be transported to Sima Shangjun in the north and some were to be transported to Li Mujun in the south." Luo Jia's words were excited. The Shangjun Corps seized the arsenal of Zhao's army and invisibly supported the Qin army on the front. "Speaking of this, our army has to thank Yan Ju. If it weren't for his disagreement with Li Mu and Sima Shang and deliberately delayed, these weapons would not have fallen into the hands of our army......"

Speaking of this, Luo Jia, Meng Hu and others all laughed.

Luo Jia was right. If Qu Liang's guard was replaced by Li Zuoche, the Qin army would not succeed so quickly.

"General, will our army stick to Quliang next, threaten the flanks of Zhao's army, and wait for Yang Duan and the general to meet?"

Many of the Qin soldiers had the same idea as Luo Jia. The adventure of capturing Quliang and entering the hinterland of Zhao seemed to have come to an end.

But when Meng Tian said his inner plan, he was destined to shock his generals. At this time, Meng Tian felt that there was no need to continue to hide the ultimate goal of this military adventure.

"No, our army will not defend Quliang to the death. My ultimate goal is not to stay in Quliang. I am watching the two north and south army conquer the city and territory. I want to lead you and others to become the Qin soldiers who attacked Handan first. The names of you and others are engraved on the bronze pillar in front of the Zhao Palace Hall......"

Meng Tian turned his head and looked at the direction of Handan to the south. There, the Qin people were infinitely close, but in the end they failed, and even Bai Qi was implicated. Without mentioning the word Handan, the Qin people were filled with regrets. It seems that Meng Tian’s cavalry could only be worth 15,000, and if they wanted to capture Handan, which had a profound city, it seemed that the soldiers imagined it.

How bold a person is and how rich the land is, at this time, it can only arouse the deep desire in the Qin army. Thinking of this, Meng Tian spoke loudly, with a decisive tone:

"After conquering Handan, except for the beauties given to the king, the remaining palace maids, in the order of the merits, this general allowed Xu Er and others to choose and take them home. Those who do not have a wife marry and those who have a wife will take them back as concubines, but remember, don't dislike the wives..."
