Zong Luohu went back and reported to Qin Hu. Qin Hu immediately understood what Chang Zhongxing meant: "This guy is hanging up for sale because he wants me to personally recruit him to surrender. Then I will go and see what he has to say.

"

Zong Luohu also understood in his heart that it turned out that he was not generous enough.

After Qin Hu arrived at the top of the city, he found that Chang Zhongxing was waiting at the top of the city with his soldiers fully armed. He probably gathered all the equipment and strength, deliberately integrated resources, and made a big show of strength to show him his strength.

, I couldn’t help but feel a little funny.

But he did not expose it, but paid the greatest attention and said politely: "General Chang, I am Qin Hu. I came here to visit you today. I hope that the general will take the overall situation into consideration and open the city gate. Thank you very much.

"

Chang Zhongxing was also in high spirits. He raised his hands and said, "Your Highness, King Yan, please be polite. Logically speaking, you shouldn't come to this place. We are enemy countries and we are each working on our own. There is nothing to say."

Qin Hu sighed and said: "The general is famous all over the world and understands righteousness. He naturally knows what it means to obey the obedient and punish the rebellious. Although I, Qin Hu, am not a saint, I don't know how much better Xue Renguo is. Xue Renguo has abused the people and massacred the heroes.

The sky is angry and people are resentful, and they are extinct from the world."

"Now that the war has begun, he has absconded blindly and ignored the soldiers. How can there be any loyalty to such a person? Even if you are foolishly loyal, your soldiers will flee one after another because he is not worthy of the loyalty of others.

You can't do anything on your own."

"If the general is willing to surrender, I will immediately confer the title of Marquis of Jincheng. The general can also express his ambitions. Why not. Please consider it carefully, general."

For this reason, he has given enough face. If Chang Zhongxing continues to hold on, he may lose his last chance.

Chang Zhongxing thought for a while and suddenly said: "If the king enters the city, can he spare the people in the city? Chang Zhongxing deserves death, but the people are innocent."

Qin Hu and Zong Luohu both rolled their eyes inwardly, thinking to themselves, this guy is really good at pretending, when did he care about the lives of the people?

But in this era, there are all kinds of mud and sand. As a commander-in-chief, you must have an open mind to accept all rivers and rivers. So Qin Hulang smiled and said: "General, I will only save the people and will not harm them. You can rest assured about this. Someone, please pass on the order.

Anyone who enters the land of Western Qin and dares to kill a person is like killing my father. Anyone who dares to rape a woman is like raping my mother. Anyone who dares to take advantage of the people will be killed without mercy."

"As commanded."

After Chang Zhongxing established his own image, he confidently opened the city gate and surrendered. Qin Hu captured the Longxi Army without any bloodshed and sent troops to enter the city. At this time, Xue Renguo also received the news of the sudden withdrawal of troops, and was heartbroken.

, fled overnight to Lintao County.

The local defenders lost their will to resist and surrendered immediately.

"Xue Renguo fled all the way without fighting us, and I don't know what his intentions were. Maybe he wanted to consume our food and grass." Zhang Xutuo said.

"Our army has sufficient food and grass. If he makes this plan, it will be in vain. But there is another possibility. I have long suspected that he may plan to attack Li Gui westward to make up for his losses." Li Jing

said.

Qin Hu nodded deeply: "Yes, these words remind me that while we continue to pursue westward, we send people to deliver a message to Li Gui, hoping that he can see the situation clearly and surrender to us."

"How is that possible? He has such a big family fortune." Wang Junkuo said.

Li Jing smiled and said: "It's not that he really surrendered, it was just a nominal surrender. Li Gui has no big ambitions and only wants to live in a corner. If King Yan makes a promise not to confiscate his land, he should agree.

.But this kind of promise is useless. Once we unify the north, we will deal with him when we turn back."

"Please ask Mr. Tiren to go to the four counties of Hexi to meet Li Gui and convey to him the king's intention. We will continue to attack Xue Renguo and do not let up for a moment."

Li Jing's prediction was correct. Xue Renguo and Yao Hui were really trying to get Li Gui's idea at the moment.

These two small countries have been enemies of each other from the beginning. There have been many large-scale conflicts. The bordering Xiping County used to belong to Xue Ju. Later, Xue Ju sent people to attack Wuwei County, but was defeated and fell into the hands of Li Gui.

.

Li Gui established his capital in Wuwei County and had 200,000 to 300,000 troops under his command. However, poor Han and Hu people lived together in Hexi. Although the people were strong and the people were rich in elite soldiers, they had insufficient food and resources and had no great ambitions.

Apart from fighting with Xue Ju, he just sat back and watched the feuding princes of the Central Plains.

Xue Renguo had always looked down on Li Gui, thinking that he was just a self-defeating thief. Since he couldn't afford to offend Qin Hu, he had no choice but to go deep into Hexi, seize Li Gui's land, and make a place to settle down.

He felt that Qin Hu would not continue to go deep into Hexi, because that place was not attractive. If a unified dynasty wanted to prosper the economy and open up trade routes in the Western Regions, this place must be in their own hands. But now, in this situation, such a barbaric wilderness

The place is a bit too tasteless.

Moreover, the environment here is harsh, the terrain is complex, and food transportation is difficult. If he sticks to the city, Qin Hu will not be able to do much.

So Xue Renguo was halfway to Lintao County and then turned towards Xiping County.

Xiping County neglected to take precautions and was captured quickly. Li Gui had just woken up from a dream, and it turned out that Xue Renguo came for him.

At this time, someone came to report: "Your Majesty, Qin Hu's envoy has arrived and is now waiting for an audience outside the palace." On the one hand, Li Gui was angry with Xue Renguo, and on the other hand, he was afraid of Qin Hu's power, but he did not dare to neglect at all, and immediately convened a meeting

The imperial meeting was held to discuss countermeasures.

Li Gui's deployment was complex. There were more Hu people than Han people, many of them were Xiongnu tribal leaders, and even Tuque people had surrendered, so their combat effectiveness was definitely not weak.

The Huns An Xiuren advocated resolute resistance to the enemy, first defeated that bastard Xue Renguo, and then Chen Bing launched a decisive battle with Qin Hu in Xiping County.

Shi Quedu, a Tuque native, agreed with his proposal and requested to lead a Xiongnu and Tuque coalition force of 15,000 men to recapture Xiping County to the south to deter Qin Hu.

At that time, the prime minister Cao Zhen expressed opposition: "Your Majesty, Qin Hu has a strong army and sufficient food and grass. He is also from a noble family in Longxi and is the prince-in-law of the Yu Dynasty. He is loved by the people of the world. He is also like a god with his troops and is invincible. Now he has occupied Guanzhong.

I already have the qualifications of an emperor, so I cannot compete with you."

"Furthermore, Qin Hu may not have territorial ambitions against us, but Xue Ju and his son repeatedly harassed Guanzhong and had no choice but to raise troops to attack. Now that the defeat of Western Qin is imminent, there is no need for us to get involved in this battle. Our enemy is Xue Renguo, so it is better to unite with Qin

Tiger, let’s fight together.”
