The Great Qin Empire---Qin Li

"What a close call..."

When he was led out of the tent by two Chu soldiers, Hei Fu found that his back was already sweating and his palms were cold.

This time, he really took a risk.

But what else could he do? With 700 people against 2,000 enemies, the chance of winning was too small. Hei Fu could only try his best to find a way to increase the chance of winning, even if it was only 10%.

Every 10% chance of winning would save them a lot of lives...

Hei Fu had thought about sending his men to pretend to surrender, but he still couldn't let it go.

His subordinates were all ordinary people from small border counties, with their own strengths and weaknesses.

For example, Dongmen Bao had martial arts and courage, and was fearless, but he was reckless. Ji Ying was clever and eloquent, but he was timid and couldn't stand the pressure. Li Xian is educated, careful, and can handle small things. He even managed the military camp when Hei Fu was not around, but he is too cautious and careful to do big things. Xiao Tao is loyal, courageous and knowledgeable, but unfortunately he is a stutterer. It is too difficult for him to pretend to surrender.

As for Gong Ao? This guy is bold, but his emotions are written on his face. If he is asked to pretend to surrender, he might offend the Chu people and be beheaded the next moment.

Looking around the city, the only person who can be called "wise and brave" is Hei Fu himself.

When he reported this to Li You, Li You hesitated, because Hei Fu was his designated commander. What if something happened...

"Too risky." Li You said.

Hei Fu secretly laughed in his heart: "A mere general risked his life to save the son-in-law of the King of Qin, the son of Li Si, and won the victory in a land of defeat. This achievement must be particularly dazzling."

Unlike the small rewards for previous achievements, this time, Hei Fu bet his life and death, and the wealth of the next ten years on this adventure.

"If you don't venture into the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger cub?"

After leaving this famous saying, Hei Fu resolutely left the city in the admiring eyes of everyone including Li You!

"Fortunately, although the process was thrilling, the result was good."

In fact, you will know that as long as you don't show your true colors, people who come to negotiate surrender are not too dangerous, and they are much safer than the lobbyists who are thrown into the cauldron and cooked at any time.

The only trouble is that the surrender method proposed by Dou Ran and Sun Feng makes it difficult to achieve a false surrender, but the boat will naturally straighten itself when it reaches the bridgehead, and it is not too late to go back and think of a way.

The most important thing is that Hei Fu's performance successfully made the two county lords of Chu relax their vigilance against the Qin army in the city, thinking that they really wanted to surrender.

The art of war says: humble them and make them arrogant, idle them and make them tired, close them and make them separate. Attack them when they are unprepared and take them by surprise, this is the victory of military strategists.

Even if Hei Fu had to pretend to be humble, as long as the other party was relaxed, they would have an opportunity to take advantage!

Moreover, Hei Fu had an unexpected gain on this trip.

"So, who wrote a letter to Dou Ran about what happened in Anlu County?"

...

At this time, they had passed the Chu army's position, but saw that the Chu soldiers were sitting cross-legged on the spot waiting. After learning that the Qin army was going to surrender, they were no longer so vigilant. They looked very relaxed, put their weapons aside, and talked to each other warmly, as if they were not here to fight, but to hunt.

In the eyes of the Chu people, this war has ended with their complete victory, right?

They were wrong, for Qin Wang Zheng, who was determined to destroy the six countries.

This war has just begun!

At this moment, Hei Fu suddenly saw that several Chu army chariots and cavalry, escorting a group of embarrassed Qin soldiers covered in dust, were coming here!

"Who is this?" He looked at the Chu soldier on the side, puzzled.

"It's your companions."

The Chu soldier said proudly: "I don't know how many people ran from the north to the south along the way. Two or three hundred have been captured and are all detained behind the formation!"

Hei Fu's heart moved, but he didn't say anything. As he continued to move forward with the Chu soldier, he passed by these captured Qin soldiers...

There was a commotion in front, but it was a Qin military officer wearing a short crown with the title of "Bu Geng" on his head. He was being pressed to the ground by the Chu people, and he was tied to a rope with his hands and feet. The Chu soldier on the side smiled and said that only the Qin people who resisted violently could get such treatment.

"As for those of you who are willing to surrender, there is no need to do this."

The Qin official had his hands tied and stood up again. When he looked up, he happened to see Heifu in front of him and was stunned.

Heifu's eyelids also jumped and his steps slightly stagnated...

This is someone he knows, and someone who knows him!

Although this person looked tired and there was blood on the corners of his mouth, Heifu recognized him at a glance. Isn't this Zhou Hua who chatted with him outside the Xiangcheng camp!

Zhou Hua, who came from Sanchuan County and was also a short-armed guard of a certain captain, was looking at Heifu at this moment.

He widened his eyes and opened his mouth slightly, and was about to shout out the word "Heifu"!

"General Zhou!"

Heifu spoke first, walked towards Zhou Hua with a big laugh, and said like a string of cannonballs: "Don't you recognize me? I am Zhong, the captain of the Nanjun army!"

"Zhong... you..."

Zhou Hua was a little surprised. He and Heifu were old acquaintances and knew that he was Li You's confidant. Whenever the captain held a military meeting in the big tent, they would chat outside and the topics were very speculative.

But at this moment, Heifu appeared in the Chu camp and called himself "Zhong". What did this mean?

The Chu soldiers on the side looked at the two men suspiciously, with alert expressions. Hei Fu bowed to them and said, "Why don't I persuade this general to surrender together?"

The Chu people did not suspect him, so they let Hei Fu continue to speak. Hei Fu changed to Guanzhong dialect to persuade Zhou Hua, and his speed was very fast. The Chu people were confused, but they roughly understood that he was enumerating the benefits of surrendering to the Chu army...

Zhou Hua's face became more and more ugly, and he was about to curse, but unexpectedly, in these empty words of persuasion, Hei Fu paused for a moment, and quickly said two words!

"Heavy drums!"

The Chu people did not pay attention to this small detail, and Zhou Hua was stunned when he heard it.

Heifu had stopped talking and said with a smile: "General Zhou, how about surrendering with me?"

"Bah!"

Zhou Hua's face turned pale and blue, and he spat at Heifu's feet and cursed: "You are a traitor who surrendered to the enemy. How can I be a coward?"

Zhou Hua continued to be pushed away in a scolding, and Heifu cursed "I don't know what's good for me" in front of the Chu soldiers with a twisted face, but what he thought in his heart was...

"I wonder if he understood what I meant?"

...

While Heifu was in the Chu camp, something was happening in Yingyang City.

Tu Si, Zhai Chong, and Man, not long after Heifu left, were called together by Xu Yang, mysteriously, and no one knew what they were going to do.

"To be honest, Heifu's leaving the city was not a false surrender, but a real surrender!"

Everyone's face suddenly changed: "General Xu, don't say anything nonsense!"

Xu Yang sneered: "Heifu is from Nanjun, which is the land of Western Chu. For him, surrendering to Chu is like returning to his homeland. What's so surprising?"

After this, Tu Si pondered for a while, Man Ze said nothing, with a strange look in his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking. Only Zhai Chong said dissatisfiedly: "General Xu, you are slandering, do you have any evidence?"

Xu Yang said firmly: "Of course there is. If it was a false surrender, he could just send a subordinate out of the city. Why go in person? In my opinion, he wants to meet the Chu general and sell Lieutenant Li and us in exchange for his wealth in Chu! He has become a military thief who surrenders to the enemy!"

Zhai Chong shook his head: "Heifu doesn't seem to be such a person..."

"You can recognize a person's face, but it's hard to know his heart. At such an extraordinary time, we must be on guard."

Xu Yang looked at everyone and said, "In my opinion, it's better to take advantage of the time when Hei Fu is discussing with the Chu general outside the city and we open the west gate and leave!"

Tu Si shook his head: "Didn't I say it before? The enemy's cavalry is all around, and this place is flat. Even if we retreat now, it's too late..."

"As long as we don't leave all of us, we'll have time!" Xu Yang's eyes were bright, and he finally revealed his true intention.

"Leave the soldiers behind, and we will take a few confidants and escort Lieutenant Li away!"

The room suddenly became quiet, and Xu Yang's words echoed in the ears of the three people. Zhai Chong and Tu Si were a little shocked. Man Ze suddenly raised his head, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Xu Yang said: "Even if Heifu is pretending to surrender, we will fight the Chu people to death when we go out of the city. We will be in danger of death if we fight against the Chu people with a small number of people. It is better to leave the city quietly, leaving Heifu's soldiers and the miscellaneous soldiers gathered along the way to fight against the Chu people, so as to buy time for us to retreat. In this way, we will definitely get away! When we return to Shangcai, we will say that everyone took the initiative to protect the captain and defend the enemy!"

All of a sudden, Xu Yang's purpose of constantly encouraging everyone to evacuate since yesterday was obvious.

He actually planned to abandon the large army, flee from the land, and only care about his own life!

"Xu Yang, it turns out that you are the real military thief!" Zhai Chong was furious and slammed the table, but found that Xu Yang was not afraid at all, and his eyes were looking behind him.

Several of Xu Yang's confidants had already held their knives against the backs of the three generals!

"Three generals, you are just as stupid as Hei Fu..."

Xu Yang laughed loudly: "Whoever can escort Li Duwei will be a great hero and will be trusted by the court. As for the lives of hundreds of Nanjun soldiers, will the court care? If so, why should I share life and death with them!"
