Zong Luohu saw a group of soldiers rushing out of the stronghold wall, and suddenly licked his tongue: "Go back and tell the emperor, it's not that I don't want to leave, but I can't leave."

Zong Luohu really couldn't leave, and Hao Yuan couldn't leave either, because the road behind them was blocked. They were ambushed, and Li Jing and Wang Junkuo came to kill them from two directions.

Xue Renguo brought 150,000 people this time, which can be said to be the overwhelming force of the country, while the two of them brought only 50,000. This battle lasted from morning to dusk.

There were 5,000 Xiaoguo troops in Li Jing's army. They were extremely elite. They were equipped with strong weapons and strong swords. They rushed left and right and looked at all directions. They overturned the Western Qin army's formation several times. In addition, the Yan army also had an advantage in numbers, so after that

, which is basically a battle of annihilation.

If it was a good general command, he might have led these people to break out, but Hao Yuan seemed to be stupid and just knew to fight blindly without any command. Zong Luohu couldn't cooperate and was dragged into a deadlock. In the end

, he led more than a hundred people and retreated towards the base camp in defeat.

And Hao Yuan was captured alive.

"If you want to kill, just kill without saying anything."

Li Jing looked at Hao Yuan and laughed: "I have heard for a long time that the general is resourceful and a famous general, but today he is blindly reckless and fights without any rules. Could it be that there has been a change in the Qin State? I heard that Xue Ju died suddenly recently.

Could it be that there is some ulterior secret in it that arouses your dissatisfaction?"

"Nonsense." Hao Yuan snorted coldly.

Li Jing smiled again and said: "Whether it's nonsense or good words, I have no right to deal with you, so I have to ask you to stay here for two days. King Yan will summon you later."

"What nonsense King Yan, I am only loyal to King Qin."

"But King Qin is dead. It seems that King Qin is not easy to get along with now." Li Jing smiled: "I haven't thanked you yet. If you hadn't fought to the death and refused to rescue Xue Renguo's camp, King Yan wouldn't have been so easy.

Succeeded. Let me tell you, Xue Renguo has been defeated by King Yan, and now he has retreated one hundred and fifty miles and set up camp again."

"Did you do it on purpose?"

Li Jing judged that Hao Yuan did it on purpose, because many people knew that Hao Yuan was a thoughtful general. It was really unexpected that the matter had developed so smoothly. If the Western Qin Army hadn't been so proactive

If you cooperate, your work may be in vain.

"I don't understand what you are saying."

He didn't understand, so Li Jing didn't bother to say anything and asked someone to take him down.

When Zong Luohu returned to the camp, Xue Renguo had already run away, leaving behind the dilapidated camp and a group of Yan troops who were cleaning the battlefield, and almost killed him. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and managed to escape.

But as he ran, he felt something was wrong. Why should I run? Who would I go to if I ran? The so-called emperor Xue Renguo was so cruel that the ministers were in danger. It was almost my turn several times. If I go back like this

, are you not seeking your own death?

But no, I can't go back. People like him and Hao Yuan have families at home, and they all live in Tianshui County.

If they ran away, Xue Renguo would definitely vent his anger on them, so what should he do? So in the end, Zong Luohu still ran to Xue Renguo.

"Half of the 150,000-strong army was lost just after the war started. We can't continue fighting. Let's go back to Tianshui to rest." Xue Renguo said discouragedly.

Then he said to Yao Hui: "Send someone to Tuque and ask Chuluo Khan. When my father was alive, they promised to send troops to attack Qin Hu. I haven't seen a single soldier until now."

Hey, the covenant is still there, what does this mean?"

Yao Hui hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, calm down. Even if this is really what happened, you can't say that. Tuque is powerful and we have just been defeated. Now we can only ask for help."

"This -" Xue Renguo was stunned for a moment: "Huh, that's temporary too. When I destroy Qin Hu and unify the world, I will definitely destroy Tuque."

Yao Hui nodded: "Yes, I will arrange for someone to go to the village immediately."

"In addition, the order is sent to withdraw the troops."

"According to the decree."

The Western Qin army was in high spirits when it came, but it was in a mess when it left. They were chased and killed several times by Qin Hu along the way, and basically all the subsequent troops were wiped out.

If Xue Renguo had taken the throne himself, he would not have been defeated so miserably, but now that he was the emperor, he cherished his life and ran directly to the front, leaving tens of thousands of his brothers to the enemy.

Qin Hu swept away the fallen leaves in the autumn wind and pursued him until he was a hundred miles away from Tianshui City. He was afraid of an ambush, so he stopped and waited for the large troops behind to respond.

About half a month later, the large army gradually gathered at his camp bit by bit. This was mainly because they were not in a hurry and walked while resting.

Moreover, all the cities passing by were also scanned.

However, this gave the Tuque people an opportunity, which Qin Hu did not expect. When he heard that the Tuque troops had already passed Shuofang, it was already a bit late.

"Wuji, please go to the Tuque camp and tell them that I am willing to pay 2 million taels of silver to ask the Khan to withdraw his troops. If he gives face, I will add another 100,000 pieces of silk. If he does not give face, then I will not fight.

Xue Renguo, turn to Tu Que and fight with him, let him figure it out."

"That's it?" Changsun Wuji hesitated.

"No. It's even tougher than this attitude."

"Is this good? What should I do if I anger them?"

Qin Hu turned around and smiled: "The Tuque people have suffered losses at our hands, and they still have lingering fears in their hearts, so the tougher you are, the harder it will be for them to figure out your trump card. Especially when we just defeated Xue Renguo, that boy Chuluo

You will not rashly attract firepower to yourself, and you can also get a lot of wealth, so why not do it. Negotiations must be based on mutual respect, otherwise it is not negotiation, but bullying."

"Then how will he explain to Xue Renguo?"

"What did he confess to Xue Renguo? When did you see the master confess to the dog? It is perfectly normal for the sovereign country to manipulate and betray its younger brother at will for its own benefit."

"I understand." Changsun Wuji patted his forehead: "I'll go right away."

After Changsun Wuji left, Qin Hu decisively ordered: "Send the order, early tomorrow morning, the entire army will line up, surround Tianshui City from all sides, and fight to death for me. Taking this city is equivalent to taking the entire Western Qin Dynasty."

"As commanded."
