The shouts of killing came from all directions were getting closer and closer, and the circles surrounded were getting smaller and smaller. A large number of blood-filled defeated soldiers rushed into the commander's mansion. The Qin soldiers began to rush from the door to the wall to the mansion and inward from the wall.

When Xiang Xiang and Xiang Guan rushed out with weapons, the entire general's mansion was firmly surrounded, like a cage, and Qin soldiers pressed up like four walls. The heads of the yard were rolling around, the bodies were covered with blood, and the walls were stained with red screams one after another.

A Qin general wearing a three-foot red cherry on his head, wearing a purple imperial robe, a white horse under his crotch, was majestic and rushed in from the main entrance, holding a huge iron spear in his hand, and blood was dripping from the head of the spear, killing Chu soldiers, one shot at the same time, killing him closer. Xiang Xiang shouted, "This is Guan Ying! We brothers will capture him together and will escape the siege." Xiang Guan had calmed down at this time, looking at Guan Ying's pistol method coldly, knowing that even if the two of them joined forces, they could not beat him. He sighed in his heart, and knew that they could no longer run away, but he agreed, put on the iron halberd, got on the war horse, and rushed towards Guan Ying.

Guan Ying was about to kill. Seeing two fierce generals attacking from left and right, they knew that it must be Xiang Guan and Xiang Xiang. They were overjoyed. They roared and spread their guns out of shape, piercing them from left to right, instantly like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves. They were caught in the whirlpool of death. At the beginning, Xiang Xiang was childishly holding a lucky mentality and hoped to capture Guan Ying, using hostages as a threat to escape from birth. Without three moves, he was like a dream. Guan Ying's riding spirit

Zhan, the speed of shooting skills is rare in the world. Even if King Chu came in person, he would never win without dozens of moves. The two of them were just going to die. Guan Ying's shooting skills were three words of steadily and accurately. Once he took action, it would be as continuous as the water of the Yellow River. The opponent was like a spider web entanglement and could not escape. Xiang Xiang yelled at Xiang Guan, "I'll fight to the death, you can escape in your stomach." The sword skills changed suddenly, and they opened and closed, only attacked but not defended, and became like a shrew.

, Attacks are both defeated moves. We must fight with Guan Ying to desperately attract all the offensives and let Xiang Guan go. Guan Ying sneered, "Brother, no one can escape today. Let's see I capture you two alive." A trembling buzzing sound came from the spinning spear. He abandoned Xiang Guan and ran towards Xiang Xiang. Xiang Xiang's fighting style was purely a night battle. He used all the killer moves, and attacked desperately, but his flaws were exposed.

After coming out, Guan Ying dodged left and right, dodged the big knife three times in a row, and seized the opportunity. The iron spear was led diagonally, and the spear head was searching for an arc-shaped route, drilling under the blade, and a muffled sound stabbed Xiang Xiang's heart protection mirror on the chest. The heart protection mirror was solid, and Xiang Xiang felt a burst of chest tightness. The powerful force was transmitted to his chest through the heart protection mirror, and suddenly the blood surged up, and blood spurted out from his throat. Guan Ying's iron spear pushed forward, and Xiang Xiang couldn't sit steadily on the horse's back at that time.

Guan Ying shouted, "Catch the living." The white horse turned around like a whirlwind and rushed towards Xiang Guan, who was escaping. Xiang Guan gritted his teeth and rushed out of the door more than ten feet, feeling a gust of cold wind behind him. He knew that he could not escape the disaster, so he suddenly turned around and shot Guan Ying straight. Guan Ying quickly lay on the back of the horse. The horse rushed out with a whistle, and Xiang Guan's iron halberd was also pierced. Guan Ying straightened his body for a moment, just passing by Xiang Guan, and his right arm suddenly stretched out and slashed on Xiang Guan's neck. Xiang Guan relaxed his whole body and fainted, falling from the horse's back. Guan Ying laughed and said, "Catch the living."

Qin soldiers who followed Guan Ying all the way up, tied Xiang Guan tightly and took him to the back team. At this time, Wang Ben, Luan Bu, Ying Bu and others followed one after another. Seeing that Guan Ying's troops had cleared the enemies in the commander's mansion, Xiang Guan and Xiang Xiang had already surrendered. They were overjoyed and separated four directions to chase the remaining enemies.

The Jingman Chu soldiers were indeed extremely powerful. Although they lost the commander, they could still fight tenaciously until the end. The four armies, hundreds of thousands of people, fought from dark to dawn in pools of blood and mud, and from dawn to dusk, were successfully surrounded by the Chu army in the city, on an open space in the south gate.

Guan Ying and Ying Bu and other four groups surrounded each other and loudly persuaded surrender. The remaining two or three thousand Chu soldiers shouted in unison, without fear, and gritted their teeth, like hungry wolves and birds of prey. Wang Ben issued a killing order helplessly. None of the three thousand troops were spared. All were killed, with blood stained with yellow sand in the other part of his body and head.

The next morning, Wang Ben sent someone to send a letter to Zhou Bo, saying that Dang County had been pacified and asked him to turn defense into attack, advance towards Qi County, and attack Xiang Bo, and the army would soon take the whole army outside the city.

Who knew that when the sender came back, he brought back Zhou Bo's letter. The letter said that Wang Ben would suspend the attack and wait and see, Xiang Bo had sent an envoy to his army to request surrender.

This made Wang Ben unable to believe this. He would rather believe that the sun would rise from the West tomorrow.

"Xiang Bo is Xiang Yu's uncle, Xiang Liang's younger brother, and Xiang Yan's son. How could he surrender to Qin? This must be a delaying strategy, and the general doesn't need to pay attention to it." Guan Ying felt a little ridiculous, and Zhou Bo was confused.

Ying Bu said, "This is not necessarily the case. I have been in the camp of Xichu for a long time. I have long felt that Xiang Bo is a little strange. He usually keeps silent, and seems to be a alchemist who does not seek fame and fortune at all. But in fact, I feel that this person is very ambitious and uneasy. After Xiang Liang died, he often has the intention to replace him. Unexpectedly, he was snatched by his nephew. He was dissatisfied with him. When Xiang Yu was named king, Xiang Bo wanted to set up a new branch to be a king. But unexpectedly, Xiang Yu was not the Emperor of Zhou, and he was only granted a foreign surname but not his family, which made him very angry. Xiang Bo always looked embarrassed and disagreed, but never advised him, and sometimes agreed. It can be seen that he was extremely disappointed with Xiang Yu and decided from the beginning that his eldest nephew would fail in the end. I believed what Zhou Bo said. Besides that, I had other reasons."

Wang Ben said, "Speak and listen."

Ying preached; "The General imagined that the fate of Chu State has reached its end now. Xiang Ta, Xiang Han, Xiang Liang, and Xiang Guan have been killed, Xiang Xiang Xiang Guan were captured alive. If Xiang Yu was defeated in the next battle, then the Xiang family would be exterminated from then on. The Xiang family has been important officials and nobles of Chu State for five generations. When Xiang Yan was in power, he reached the point of power. He did not want to watch the Xiang family go to a dead end. He had no other way except to surrender. This man was very cunning and had laid the groundwork for this. In the past, at the banquet at Jingxingkou, I clearly had the intention of preparing for the future. This surrender was probably true."

After hearing what Ying Bu said, Wang Ben also remembered it. It seemed that the King of Qin did say that Xiang Bo had made great contributions to saving the car at the banquet at Jingxingkou.

"In this way, our army can enter Qi County without bloodshed." Wang Ben stroked his long beard and smiled. Ying preached. "Please ask the general to send a letter to Xiang Bo, and say that Xiang Guan and Xiang Xiang are safe and sound. If Xiang Bo is willing to surrender, the children of the Xiang family can be granted the title of marquis in the future and will never break their promise. Xiang Bo will inevitably open the city gate and invite our army to enter the city."

Wang Ben frowned and said, "I must report to the King of Qin for such a major event." Ying preached; "Reported to the King of Qin for at least five days. What should I do if Yi Bo changes his mind? He is not comparable to Xiang Xiang. He has been following his father Xiang Yan since he was a child and has rich experience. It is very difficult for us to take down Qi County. General, please make a quick decision."

Wang Ben thought to himself that it was easy to make a decision immediately, but the problem was that I could not make a decision, especially the idea of ​​enthroning the Xiang family as a marquis, and I had no such right. Ying Bu thought about it and said, "The general can write a letter to Xiang Bo and write a war report to the King of Qin, and ask him to issue an order immediately. Xiang Bo also needs to consider the letter when he gets the letter. After this, the general has enough time to decide whether to stop the truce or continue to move forward."

Wang Ben thought to himself that Ying Bu is not simple. He looks like a rough man, but he didn't expect that he is rough and meticulous, meticulous and thoughtful, and secretly pays attention to this person for the King of Qin.

Wang Ben's battle report quickly came to Wang Zhu. Wang Zhu had long expected Xiang Bo to surrender, and the history books were well written. In the past, Wang Zhu was very puzzled by Xiang Bo's behavior of catching up inside and out. Now, after listening to Ying Bu's explanation, he felt aware of it. So that's it. He picked up his pen and made an important instruction on Wang Ben's station newspaper, and all Wang Ben's requests were approved. Moreover, if the Xiang family was willing to surrender, they would be given their surnames and win and enjoy the treatment of the Qin royal family.

It was five days later that Wang Ben received the reply. The letter to Xiang Bo was sent at the same time, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea and there was no news yet. Wang Ben was very happy to read Wang Zhu's reply and ordered someone to send the instructions of the King of Qin to Xiang Bo. According to his estimate, Xiang Bo was waiting for the King of Qin's promise.

Xiang Bo was indeed waiting for the promise of the King of Qin. Ying Bu guessed it was not bad at all. Xiang Bo had long been incompatible with Xiang Yu, and also wanted to preserve some blood for the Xiang family. Xiang Yu's temper and actions made him determine the ending today, so he had already made sufficient psychological preparations. This eldest nephew can only be a general but not a general. He is brave, but he is just a brave man. He likes to listen to people's praises and is moody, and often scolds him, his uncle. How can you let Xiang Bo bear it? Originally, after Xiang Liang died, Xiang Bo should be the leader, Xiang Yu, how could it be the turn of Xiang Yu, a young man who is still young. The Xiang family's decline to this point is directly related to King Huai of Chu's wrong decision back then, and he blamed him for not striving for it. If Xiang Bo was the commander of Xiang Yu, the general, things might not be uncontrollable today.

This is Xiang Bo’s thought.

After receiving the Qin King's personal promise, Xiang Bo's concerns became bubbles, and a slackened heart fell on the stone floor. He immediately replied to Wang Ben, expressing his willingness to change defense with Zhou Bo. He led the Chu army to Dang County to meet Wang Ben and let Zhou Bo's army stationed in Qi County.

This is also the moment when considering Wang Ben's courage. Xiang Bo's proposal is very dangerous. If he had evil intentions, Zhou Bo would probably be trapped in a siege and would never be restored. Even the main force of Qi army in Dang County was threatened with a catastrophe. Xiang Bo set up a few traps and buried a few ambushes to make Zhou Bo, who was alone, die in a devastating life. This is a plan to "go up the house and pull the ladder" and must be guarded.

Wang Ben threw down the bamboo slips in his hand and said in a deep voice, "Don't doubt people, but don't doubt people. At this moment, you can't hesitate. I immediately ordered Zhou Bo to advance like Qi County and send a message to Xiang Bo to come as promised. I believe him this time." Ying Bu thought to himself that although Wang Ben was old, he was even more harsh and his decisiveness was better than that of the young man. The King of Qin had him regained military power, so he chose the right person.

Xiang Bo laughed at the bamboo slips, and now he had no worries. Wang Ben's mind shows that the people of Qin no longer had any doubts about him, and the time to surrender was up. After receiving the order, Zhou Bo also expressed that he thought that the King of Qin would die, and even in danger, he would be willing to go there. In fact, Zhou Bo had already concluded that Xiang Bo was really going to surrender. Wang Ben gave him a good opportunity to get a bargain, and in the future he could make a few more contributions in the credit book: On a certain month and a certain day of a certain year, the general Zhou Bo captured Qi County of Western Chu, and made outstanding achievements and made great contributions. In fact, he had never used a single soldier.

About three days later, Wang Ben finally waited for the news that Xiang Bo's army had passed by Zhou Bo after leaving Qi County. His heart was already in his throat, but on the surface he still maintained a sense of unsuspecting calmness. He was leisurely reviewing soldiers, playing chess and drinking tea every day. Everyone felt that Xiang Bo would definitely surrender. In fact, Wang Ben himself was so nervous that he couldn't sleep for several nights.

In early August, the scorching sun in the sky was like an umbrella of fire, covering the earth. There was no place that was not dry, no place that was not stuffy, and no place that was not hot. The entire military camp was like a burnt brick kiln, making everyone feel depressed. Especially the generals felt even more breathless. Because Xiang Bo's team had reached fifty miles away.

Guan Ying firmly advocated that Xiang Bo set up camp fifty miles away and came to see Wang Ben alone. The other generals meant this. Xiang Bo came with an army of 70,000. Although the Qi army's Huainan army was six or seven times that of it, if it was attacked, it would still be a disaster. Wang Ben was confident. For the real Qin ace army he personally trained, he would not be afraid of any surprise attack. It was to "shake the mountains and shake the Qin army, but it was difficult to climb to the sky." He placed the 30,000 Qin cavalry directly under his command at the forefront and sent someone to notify Xiang Bo that the Chu army could go directly to the city of Dang County and everyone went out to greet him.

Amid the sound of the trumpet, the elite and victorious Qin army had a clear stand, raised swords and guns, and greeted each other with fierce horses. Under the city of Dang County, a large group of people and horses spanned ten miles, stretched like the sea, and its power was as powerful as the sky. The sound of war drums and trumpets rendered the entire earth fighting clouds soared into the sky, and its fighting spirit was overwhelming, making people feel extremely fierce and heroic.

Although the Chu army was newly defeated and surrendered all the way, its power was not weak at all in the Qin army. The phalanx was neat and the walking was uniform. The red flag was like a fire burning the sky. Seventy thousand people seemed to follow Xiang Bo's horse hooves, which made people feel the same feeling that 70,000 people were united.

Wang Ben looked from afar, turned around, and said to Ying Bu with emotion, "Fortunately, you reminded me, otherwise, if we want to fight such an army, our army will definitely pay a heavy price that is several times better than before." Ying Bu said; "Xiang Bo is not bad at all against Xiang Liang. They are both good sons of Xiang Yan, but their personality is too arrogant and gloomy, which is destined to be impossible for him to be king. If Xiang Yu is cheap, Xiang Yu's personality will have greater flaws, so he will fail. People say that for three generations of wealth, there will be a kind of nobility in his blood. If one is not good, a playboy will appear. It seems that the nobleman of the Xiang family, who has these two unfilial children, is destined to decline."

Wang Ben was speechless for a moment. Didn’t their Wang family have been rich for three generations? Wang Li, Wang Li, did this cause kill you? My son! And the decline of the Meng family, is it all due to God’s will? God arranged it!

Xiang Bo smiled and had already arrived ten feet opposite Wang Ben with a clang. With a clanging arm, he raised his right arm and the large group of people stopped together, without any confusion.

Xiang Bo bowed slightly on his horse. Wang Ben turned over and dismounted and bowed deeply: "Mr. Zuo Yin, Wang Ben has been waiting outside the city for a long time. I am the representative of the King of Qin to welcome Zuo Yin."

The reason why Xiang Bo was so arrogant was that he was afraid that Wang Ben would give him a warning and showed off his power in front of him. Seeing that Wang Ben was so humble, he couldn't help but feel a little fever on his face. Everyone present had comments on both of them in his heart. Xiang Bo was still too narrow-minded after all, slightly inferior to Wang Ben.

Xiang Bo turned over and dismounted and knelt on the ground on one knee; "After Xiang Yan, Chu State, Xiang Bo. Today, he sincerely came to surrender to the Qin Dynasty, wishing the King of Qin to unify the world and live a long life. The general asked the King of Dai to receive the Grand Priest's gift to worship him."

Some of the Chu generals behind Xiang Bo sighed, some showed resentment, and some were unbearable. They all dismounted in different colors, and they all knelt down in the clanging sound of armor scales.

Wang Ben was also very skilled and brave. He walked over to support Xiang Bo himself, patted his back and said, "The King of Qin has issued an order to treat Zuo Yin with the courtesy of the royal family. Who is I, Wang Ben, dares to accept your great gift? Zuo Yin's status will inevitably be above Wang Ben in the future. Please take care of our Wang family."

Xiang Bo was ashamed, and then stood up and nodded repeatedly. "How dare you have such extravagant hopes for defeating generals and humiliating ancestors?" Wang Ben said. "The King of Qin said it must do what he said. Please do not doubt Zuo Yin. Please follow me into the city. The army can be stationed outside the city." Xiang Bo thought to himself, he still couldn't feel completely relieved about me. However, this was also rare, and ordinary people could not achieve this state. Then he ordered his subordinates and generals to station the army outside the city, and he and a group of generals followed Wang Ben, Guan Ying, and Ying Bu into the city.

After some negotiations, the two sides finally reached an agreement.
