Chapter 617 Negotiating the Consequences with Ying Chengjiao? King Qi of Chu Dies!

Hearing this, Su Jiao, Peng Yue and other Qin and Qi soldiers were stunned.

Whose general is this, so brave!

Looking in the direction of the voice, Su Jiao, Peng Yue and other soldiers suddenly realized.

It turned out to be my general, no wonder he is so brave!

King Qi of Chu also looked back in the direction of the voice, and saw Ying Chengjiao holding a blood-stained long halberd and killing through King Qi of Chu's rear formation!

King Qi of Chu trembled in his heart and forced a smile: "Lord Chang'an, long time no see."

Ying Chengjiao said in a light voice: "It's really not easy to meet the King of Chu."

"Since the King of Chu is unwilling to meet me in front of the battlefield, I can only come to see the King of Chu in person!"

King Qi of Chu's smile froze, and then he sighed softly: "In front of the two armies, you and I are each for our own country, how can we talk freely?"

King Qi of Chu looked at Ying Chengjiao earnestly and asked: "Queen Mother, are you well?"

When mentioning the Queen Mother Huayang, Ying Chengjiao also suppressed some of his anger and shook his head slightly: "The Queen Mother is healthy, but after all, she is old and her body is getting weaker and weaker."

"The King of Chu led many Chu-related virtuous people to leave Qin, which is also a big blow to the Queen Mother."

"This year, the Queen Mother has almost stopped caring about worldly affairs. She has been educating the children of my brother all day to entertain herself."

Cui Rui and others who followed King Qi of Chu to Chu all lowered their heads in guilt.

Queen Dowager Huayang was not defeated by Lao Ai or Lu Buwei, but by the confidants of Queen Dowager Huayang!

How could Queen Dowager Huayang not be sad!

King Qi of Chu sighed: "I am ashamed of the Queen Dowager!"

Taking off his sword and throwing it on the ground, King Qi of Chu said affectionately: "I will return to the Qin Dynasty and personally meet the Queen Dowager to apologize."

"Then I will stay by the Queen Dowager's side for the rest of my life, to fulfill my kindness in raising her, and never let her worry again!"

Cui Rui and others shouted in unison: "Let's go together!"

King Qi of Chu, Cui Rui and others acted like filial sons and grandsons.

It seemed that they did not surrender to the Qin Dynasty because of the defeat, but because they missed Queen Dowager Huayang too much, so they chose to "return" to the Qin Dynasty!

This scene was spread all over the world, and someone would inevitably give a thumbs up.

What a filial and righteous son of the Chu Dynasty!

Ying Chengjiao couldn't help but sneered: "Now you remember to accompany the Queen Mother?"

"What did you do earlier!"

Being exposed by Ying Chengjiao in front of him, King Qi of Chu was not annoyed, but just shook his head: "As a king, there are many considerations."

"It's normal that Lord Chang'an doesn't understand."

Even if I lose the war, even if I surrender, I am still the king.

There has long been a sad thick barrier between Lord Chang'an and me!

Ying Chengjiao said coldly: "I really don't understand what the King of Chu is thinking."

"But I know that the King of Chu once said that he is the King of Chu in life and the former King of Chu in death!"

"He also said that the King of Chu would never step on Qin soil for the rest of his life!"

"I also know that in my Great Qin, we must keep our promises and put trust first!"

King Qi of Chu's heart suddenly jumped, and he looked at Ying Chengjiao nervously:

"Lord Chang'an, what are you going to do!"

Ying Chengjiao loosened the reins and drove the warhorse slowly towards He looked down at King Qi of Chu and said calmly:

"Send the King of Chu on his way!"

King Qi of Chu's pupils suddenly shrank, and he took a step back in disbelief, shouting angrily: "Lord Chang'an, how dare you kill me!"

"I am the king!"

"The king cannot be insulted!"

"I have already surrendered, and only the kings of Qin and Qi can deal with me."

"You are just a feudal lord, what qualifications do you have to deal with me!"

Why did King Qi of Chu surrender?

Isn't it to survive!

He has already surrendered, and Ying Chengjiao still wants to kill him.

Wasn't his surrender in vain!

Ying Chengjiao's voice was cold: "I have given the King of Chu many chances."

"Even just now, I still gave the King of Chu a chance."

"But you are not only indifferent, but also insult my mother?!"

"Even if you are the King of Chu, even if I am just a commoner, I can kill you if you insult my mother!"

According to etiquette, a feudal lord killing a king is a great act of rudeness.

But according to etiquette, those who insult people's parents are irreconcilable, regardless of their status!

Filial piety and class collide at this moment, and people in every era will have different views on which is more important.

But at least from the perspective of etiquette, Ying Chengjiao is not rude.

King Qi of Chu took two steps back again, and his voice became more urgent: "Lord Chang'an, calm down!"

"I made a mistake in a panic just now, I was wrong."

"When I enter Qin, I will personally apologize to Madam Han!"

"But please think carefully, Lord Chang'an, if Lord Chang'an dares to kill me, how will the King of Qin deal with Lord Chang'an?"

"It's just a careless remark, there's really no need to let you and I die because of this!"

Ying Chengjiao sneered: "Have I ever been afraid?"

King Qi of Chu was wailing in his heart.

King Qi of Chu's lobbying is absolutely useful for any enemy general.

Because any general must consider the impact of killing King Qi of Chu who surrendered.

Ying Chengjiao never killed the king of the enemy country, and even took the initiative to stop the King of Wei from committing suicide, which gave King Qi of Chu a glimmer of fantasy.

But King Qi of Chu did not realize that such a person would never be afraid of the negative impact caused by killing the king of another country!

Ying Chengjiao did too many things that were disobedient and rebellious!

He even dug up the tombs of the former kings of the Qin Dynasty, ordered his family soldiers to burn the bedroom of the Queen Mother Zhao, and even threw Zhao Ji's two sons to death with his own hands.

If an ordinary general had done even one of the above things, he would have died.

But Ying Chengjiao not only survived, but also made more outrageous moves!

King Qi of Chu wanted to retreat again, but several Chu soldiers standing behind him stood still like nails, looking at the king of Chu with resentment, not moving an inch.

King Qi of Chu had no way to advance or retreat, and no way to survive, so he could only shout out cruelly: "I am willing to pass on my order to the Great Chu, and let all places in the Great Chu ask to be my ministers!"

Ying Chengjiao suddenly lost interest.

The number one thug and the first pillar of the Great Qin Chu family's relatives in the past, Xiong Qi, who was not as good as Lu Buwei but was also quite capable of the Great Qin Prime Minister, and who had fought side by side with Ying Chengjiao in the Qinian Palace.

He is dead.

Killed by the throne!

Now standing in front of Ying Chengjiao is just a beast that has been blinded by the throne and dominated by the desire to survive.

The throne is too scary!

Fortunately, Ying Zheng can suppress the potholes on the throne.

Fortunately, Ying Chengjiao doesn't need to sit on this uncomfortable position!

Ying Chengjiao finally walked in front of King Qi of Chu and showed him a polite smile:

"King Chu, have a good journey!"

King Qi of Chu shouted angrily: "Lord Chang'an, I just made a slip of the tongue, why is it so!"

"Since Lord Chang'an doesn't want to make peace with me, why should I fear a fight!"

"Great Chu warriors, follow me and fight to the death!"

While roaring, King Qi of Chu bent down and picked up a long spear from the ground.

But just as King Qi of Chu stood up with the spear in his hand, a long halberd had already stabbed at him!

A halberd, pierced his throat!

King Qi of Chu's pupils suddenly contracted and his mouth opened, as if he wanted to call someone to protect him.

But the damaged trachea could only make a weak "ho ho" sound.

"Puff~"

The tip of the halberd left the body, making a burst of airflow.

Chu Wangqi quickly covered his neck with his hands, staggered back, and looked around with begging and desperate eyes, hoping to find someone to save him.

But those loyal Chu soldiers just watched coldly.

The king of Chu changed too frequently, but more than a year of contact could not cultivate much loyalty, and those loyalties were completely buried by Chu Wangqi's inconsistency.

Cui Rui and others who returned from Daqin with him showed pity.

But what can they do when they can't protect themselves?

Chu Wangqi sat down weakly, and finally lay on his back on the ground, looking at the rising sunlight with gradually blurred eyes, revealing deep regret and unwillingness.

I, should be the king!

The heavy eyelids finally failed to cover Chu Wangqi's eyes full of unwillingness.

But no matter how unwilling these eyes were, they could not stop the fourth Chu King in three years-Qi.

Death!

Cui Rui finally looked at King Qi of Chu with sorrow, decisively threw away the weapon in his hand, knelt on the ground, and respectfully called out:

"We surrender!"

After Cui Rui, all the Chu army soldiers knelt on the ground and called out:

"We surrender!!!"

You have already killed the king.

You can't kill us again!

Ying Chengjiao shook off the blood of the king on the tip of his halberd and ordered calmly: "Announce the whole city that the King of Chu has passed away."

"The central army retreats out of the city, and Tu Sui's troops speed up the cleanup."

"Force the guards at each city gate to surrender, and take Helu City before sunset today."

"If there is resistance, regardless of identity, behead them immediately!"

The generals bowed their hands loudly: "Yes!"

Cui Rui hurriedly knelt forward and shouted loudly: "Lord Chang'an! Lord Chang'an!"

"It's me! I, Lord Cui Rui! Lieutenant Cui Rui of the Qin Dynasty!"

"Please spare my life, Lord Chang'an!"

However, Ying Chengjiao just pulled the reins and led the central army soldiers and the two troops of Su Jiao and Peng Yue to retreat slowly.

Tian Zhen looked back at Cui Rui who was crying in grief, and sighed in his heart.

When you choose to sit at the gambling table of power, you must be mentally prepared to die!

Now that the final outcome has been decided, what's the point of begging for mercy?

The game of power has always been cruel!

That's why Tian Zhen chose not to sit at the gambling table, just like Ying Chengjiao!

Retracting his gaze, Tian Zhen smiled and cupped his hands: "In the past, when Duke Zhuang of Qi attacked Ju, Qi Liang, a famous general of Qi, died in battle at the gate of Ju City."

"Qi Liang's wife Meng Jiangnu heard about it and was in great pain. She cried for her husband for ten days and even cried down the wall of Linzi City!"

"This matter has been widely circulated and has become a good story in the world."

"And today, the left prime minister of Qi attacked Helu, and his might actually collapsed the wall of Helu City!"

"It also helped the left prime minister to easily take Helu City."

"This matter will definitely be recorded in the history books and will be passed down through the ages!"

"I will congratulate the left prime minister!"

The story of Meng Jiangnu has been circulating in Qi and Lu for hundreds of years.

However, at this stage, Meng Jiangnu cried down the wall of Linzi City instead of the Great Wall built by the Qin Dynasty.

Meng Jiangnu's husband was not the corvée Fan Xiliang, but Qi Liang, a famous general of Qi State.

The reason why people praise Meng Jiangnu is not because of her loyalty, but because even though she cried down the wall in grief, she was still able to remain calm and act according to etiquette in the midst of great sorrow, which is indeed a model of etiquette.

Now Tian Zhen mentioned Ying Chengjiao's crushing of Helu City and Meng Jiangnu's crying down of Linzi City at the same time, which is not only to praise Ying Chengjiao for digging down the wall, but also to express Tian Zhen's attitude.

Ying Chengjiao's battle was very polite!

Confucian scholars such as Qi Diao Li and Gong Yangba immediately understood Tian Zhen's idea, and they also smiled and bowed their hands, shouting together:

"We, congratulations to the left prime minister!"
