Without waiting for the news of the Central Army, the five thousand cavalry of Zhao State had already rushed into Shiyi City at a speed. Zhao Yong took the lead and rushed to the forefront of the team. Shi Hu and Zhao Xin were afraid that their father would make mistakes, so they urged the horse to move quickly and followed closely.

At this time, the defenders of Shicheng had given up all their guards. The entire army retreated to the camp, put down their weapons and waited for the Zhao army to be incorporated. The residents in the city had received the news and were all closed to go out. The huge Shiyi was like a ghost creature, with the streets empty, and the Zhao army's light cavalry galloping all the way.

Although the Zhao army entered the city in a hurry, the line was not in chaos. As the speeding knights all controlled their horses with one hand, held their bows in their left hand, and looked vigilantly at the roofs of the houses on both sides of the street, fearing that they would be ambushed by the Zhongshan Army.

Zhao Yong did not divide his troops to occupy all the important places in the city, but instead concentrated his troops to attack Zhongshan Camp. After all, it was the center of the entire Shiyi. If he controlled Ji Xin and others, the Zhongshan Army would not be able to make any trouble even if he wanted to repent.

In the camp in the city, more than 16,000 Zhongshan soldiers had put down their weapons, took off their armor, and arranged in a chaotic formation according to the order of the team. The officers also had their own thoughts and were too lazy to restrain their subordinates, so they let them whisper and discuss.

At the forefront of the army, Ji Xin stood in front of him with expressionless expression, and his generals stood behind him. All the generals in Shiyi, who were considered one of the most important military generals, were present. Everyone looked different, but they all kept quiet in a strange tacit understanding.

There were constant discussions coming from behind, and there were a few harsh "Traitor, shameless." Ju Bu suddenly turned around and glared behind him, trying to find out who said it, but only saw a contemptuous look.

After all, the Zhongshan Kingdom was established for hundreds of years, and the Baidi people stood in the north, and after several rise and fall, they found their current foundation. Ordinary soldiers and people would not understand that the Zhongshan Kingdom was already in a desperate situation and was not guaranteed day and night. They just thought it was Ji Xin who betrayed them, Shiyi, and Zhongshan.

Originally, the soldiers and civilians in the city respected and supported him because he could always lead the Baidi people to hold on with each attack of the Zhao army. Ji Xin was undoubtedly an indispensable contribution to the Zhongshan Kingdom being able to continue with the pressure of Zhao Yong for more than ten years.

But even such a hero from the Baidi clan is now going to lead a large army to surrender to Zhao State, and he surrendered before the war, which is difficult for any Zhongshan Chinese to accept. Therefore, although they chose to obey when facing military orders, they still despise this behavior in their hearts.

Ji Xin turned a deaf ear to these curses. At this moment, he was just looking at the distance intently, waiting for the Zhao people who came to accept them. The tragic death of his family had left him completely disappointed. Now the only thing he could not let go was Shiyi, a city that he had worked hard to run for more than ten years. He felt that he had the obligation to give these people who supported him a proper place.

Since the small boat in Zhongshan Kingdom is about to sink, it is better to order the big boat to shelter from the wind and rain before sinking.

As for those words cursing him, why should he take it to heart? He is already a dying person, and honor and disgrace are meaningless to him.

At the end of the street corner, a rapid sound of horse hooves came from afar. A sharp-eyed general behind Ji Xin looked over and said in surprise, "The Zhao army is here."

As soon as the words fell, the cavalry of Zhao State had already emerged from the end of the street corner, and a large black trend quickly filled everyone's vision. The red battle flag of Zhao's army flew in the wind, which was shocking.

Five thousand iron cavalry arrived in a flash and rushed straight to the Zhongshan army formation, but there was no sign of slowing down. Instead, they continued to accelerate, and they turned out to be a charge formation.

The soldiers of Zhongshan all looked fearful. Now that they have disarmed their equipment, they faced the Zhao army cavalry that was coming towards them with bare hands, it was undoubtedly no different from waiting for death.

The Zhao army's iron cavalry rushed faster and faster, and the sound of horse hooves became more and more rapid and closer. The Zhongshan soldiers in the front row could even feel the heat coming out of their horses' noses. The Zhongshan soldiers in the front row faced the tall horses rushing towards each other with fear on their faces, and they squeezed back desperately, but it was too late, so they had to watch the war horses hitting straight towards them.

Just when the war horses were about to hit, a sudden change occurred. The front row of Zhao cavalry suddenly jumped around the horse's head in this uninvited space. The army quickly divided into two rows, like mercury pouring into the ground, split into two halves in front of the Zhongshan Army formation, galloping to the left and right, then stopped the horse and surrounded the Zhongshan Army formation.

The atmosphere was extremely tense. Almost all the soldiers in Zhongshan were as quiet as a cicada. They stared at the soldiers in front of them who were holding bows and guarding their faces. They did not dare to breathe, for fear of disturbing the Zhao army and causing a murderous disaster.

Only Ji Xin's expression was still the same, and he saw a man coming out surrounded by Zhao generals, and his face changed slightly.

I saw that the general Zhao was eight feet tall, with a dragon-faced and bird beard, with a curly beard in all its temples, a dark and shiny face, and his eyes were extremely sharp. He didn't dare to look at him, and no one could see him would feel awe.

Although Ji Xin had never seen Zhao Yong, he could still feel from Zhao Yong's unique temperament that this must be Zhao Yong, the legendary master Zhao's father. If it weren't for this, who in the world could have such an aggressive aura that is hard to look forward to.

Ji Xin stepped forward, came to the horse of the Lord's father, bowed and whispered, "Suburn general Ji Xin, see the Lord's father."

"Flat." Zhao Yong stood tall and looked at Ji Xin with a high voice. Seeing Ji Xin's expressionless face, he could not even see his eyes, but just lowered his head and said nothing more.

"You are Ji Xin?" Zhao Yong narrowed his eyes, looked up and down at the former opponent, and suddenly smiled; "You are Ji Xin who has blocked me from the city many times?"

"That's right." Ji Xin straightened up and said calmly.

"A good old man is stronger and stronger." Zhao Yong narrowed his eyes and praised with emotion.

"It is actually a blessing for Zhongshan to be able to win a general. Zhongshan can survive to this day, which is mostly a contribution of the general. Although it surrenders today, it is actually to preserve the lives of the clan, not a private life."

Speaking of this, Zhao Yong turned over and dismounted, reached out and pressed heavily on Ji Xin's trembling shoulders, and said in a sincere voice; "General, the country and the people, are already worthy of it!"

Ji Xin felt a bitterness at the tip of his nose, and tears almost poured out. He was really moved. He thought that he had been serving Zhongshan for more than 30 years and had to lead every battle. He almost died on the battlefield several times. In the end, he relied on his cleverness and luck to save his life. At that time, Zhongshan attacked Yan was the first to attack, and captured seven cities of Yan State in one breath, which shocked the north. After Zhao State's great rise, he turned the tide and guarded Shiyi to prevent the main force of the Zhao army from heading north, which allowed Zhongshan State to avoid the disaster of national destruction.

But his loyalty to Zhongshan throughout his life was brought to such a miserable end.

The whole family was mourned, and he was the only one left to survive. His income was earned by his dedication to Zhongshan, but it was not as important as Zhao Yong's affirmative words.

At this moment, Ji Xin finally understood why Zhao Yong could dominate the world and make all the princes afraid. It is indeed a blessing for Zhao State and the world!

Ji Xin bowed deeply and choked up, "I thank the Lord's father for his words. The guilty ministers have no way to repay him, they can only bow."

Ji Xin took out a piece of cloth from his arms and handed it on him, "This is the registered household in Shiyi, the strong men, the weapons and food I have sent to seal in the warehouse, and ask the Lord's father to take over."

He pointed to the Jubu who was staring at Zhao Yong's eyes wide and said, "This is the most brave Duwei Jubu of my subordinates. He has followed me for ten years. He is honest by nature, loyal and born with divine power. He is a rare tiger general. Although he is a member of the Baidi clan, he is also a well-known man. If you can, you can use it. If you can't, give him a glory to return home."

"This is Yiyong, the commander under my tent. He is cautious by nature and steady in his behavior. Although he is not talented, he is good at defending the city. Half of the reason why I can defend Shiyi for a long time is his credit."

"This is the lieutenant You Qi. He is a craftsman and is in charge of the position of a weapon craftsman in the city. If the master's father needs a craftsman, he can find him."

"This is......"

Ji Xin pointed to the dozen generals and lieutenants behind him, and each of them gave Zhao Yong a detailed introduction. Each of them had their character and directors, for fear of missing one. Zhao Yong did not interrupt him, but just smiled and looked at everyone with his introduction. After he introduced one, he nodded and accepted the visit of the man.

Zhao Xin, who had not spoken on the side, vaguely realized something was wrong. He saw Ji Xin introducing everyone to his father with all his heart, and he seemed to be entrusting his own son. He couldn't help but worry, worried that Ji Xin had already had the idea of ​​suicide.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xin couldn't help but get anxious, but had no choice but to stare at the Lord's father with his eyes wide, trying to find an opportunity to explain the matter to him. However, the Lord's father did not notice his strange expression at all, but just listened to Ji Xin's words attentively.
