As Tian Ji predicted, the new city was breached by Wu Qi's central Chu army in the early morning of the next day.

And Tian Ji and others found the clothes of the Chu army, put on the clothes of the Chu people and joined the battle.

They approached the City Lord's Mansion, they knew that Xin Baili should be in the City Lord's Mansion at this time, and after the Chu army entered the city, they began to burn and loot, and the moment they broke through the city gate, they knew that the war had been won.

The people of the entire new city were at their disposal, and Wu Qi also acquiesced in their behavior, one was to deter the enemy, and the other was that the soldiers needed to vent their battles.

After all, their heads are all on their belts, and they may lose their lives at any time, and if you don't let them release the pressure properly, their combat effectiveness may drop significantly.

However, this war is a civil war of the Chu people, and from the outsider's point of view, this is the Chu people's massacre of the Chu people, but the people inside them don't think so.

Because the major nobles occupy one side and stand on their own mountain, the central Chu people claim to be authentic Chu people, and the Chu people in those noble territories are inferior people in the eyes of the central Chu people.

The army led by Wu Qi was headed by the Central Chu people, and they were not at all soft on this kind of slaughter of these foreign Chu people.

Wu Qi looked at the generals beside him at this time and said, "Tell your soldiers that after today, you can't hurt anyone in the city!" ”

For Wu Qi, the people in these aristocratic territories are all warriors who will fight for the Chu State on the battlefield in the future, if they are slaughtered at this time and slaughtered cleanly, what will they rely on to compete for hegemony with the princes in the future?

Leaning on the Central Plains Army? If it is relied on by the Central Army, then what is there to reform?

The so-called reform is to completely unify the Chu State, military, political, and cultural, and it can be twisted into a force externally.

This was Wu Qi's main purpose, he let the soldiers release the pressure, but also protect the resources and people of the places he attacked.

And Tian Ji and the others had already found Xin Baili, at this time Xin Baili was holding a long sword and looking at Tian Ji and the others: "You want my head, go and make meritorious service to Wu Qi, right?" ”

"Just wait, and I'll give you my head later!" Xin Baili said to Tian Ji and the others.

"No, I'm here to save Your Excellency from leaving!" Tian Ji said to Xin Baili.

Xin Baili was stunned for a moment, and looked at Tian Ji and the others in the future: "Aren't you Chu Jun?" ”

"No, we are the envoys of the Qi State who came to Chudi!" Tian Ji said to Xin Baili.

"Qi people? What is your purpose in saving me? "Xin Baili doesn't believe that this Tian Ji and others can save him for no reason.

"Your Excellency has great prestige in Xincheng, and you also have great prestige among the princes of Chu State, if Your Excellency can leave Xincheng alive and call on the outside world, I believe that you will be able to unite a lot of nobles of Chu State, raise the banner of resistance again, and resist Wu Qi!" Tian Ji looked at Xin Baili and said.

"It seems that you Qi people want us to fight in the Chu State, and when the time comes, you will take the opportunity to attack our Chu State?" Xin Baili said sharply.

"No, I am a member of the Tian family, Wu Qi killed his wife, his wife is a member of my Tian family, I do this, I only want Wu Qi's head, it is not my intention of King Qi Huan, it is all my personal intention!" Tian Ji said to Xin Baili.

This kind of thing can't involve Qi Xiaobai, once Qi Xiaobai is involved, Xin Baili and others failed, were captured alive, confessed, Qi Xiaobai, Qi Xiaobai's face will not look good, and at the same time, his reputation among the princes will be greatly reduced.

You and the Chu State Alliance, you still want to harm the Chu State behind your back, I am afraid that you will be sprayed with dog blood by the scholars of the empire at that time, and its reputation will be stinky.

Who will dare to ally with Qi at that time? The state of Qi did not yet have the strength to fight against the entire empire, so it still had to use diplomacy as a supplement to win this battle for hegemony among the princes.

So Qi Xiaobai must not be said, when the time comes, it will really fail, Xin Baili will be arrested, when King Chu Mourning and Wu Qi ask Qi Xiaobai for questioning, Qi Xiaobai can hand over Tian Ji.

"Huh?" Xin Baili was stunned, and Tian Ji's words made Xin Baili a little confused.

"My family has a personal enmity with Wu Qi, this matter has nothing to do with Qi State, it is all my own doing, I hope to use the power of your Chu nobles to solve this Wu Qi and get Wu Qi's head, I don't know if Your Excellency is willing to help me!" Tian Ji looked at Xin Baili and asked.

"Wu Qi took everything from me, and I can't wait to kill him, Your Excellency and I have the same idea, we should help each other!" Xin Baili said to Tian Ji.

Tian Ji nodded, expressing his agreement with Xin Baili's words: "Then general, leave this new city with us!" ”

Xin Baili nodded, and then under Tian Ji's planning, he left the new city as quickly as possible.

In the camp of the Chu army.

Wu Qi valued the generals and asked, "Didn't you find it in Xinbaili?" ”

A general stood up and said: "I don't think this new Baili is a tough guy, but I didn't expect that he was also a greedy man who was afraid of death, and left his army in the new city and ran away alone!" ”

Wu Qi frowned, he couldn't understand why the entire new city was surrounded and why this new hundred miles could easily escape from the new city?

At this time, Tian Ji had already left the new city with Xinbaili, Xinbaili looked at Tian Ji and asked, "In Your Excellency, where should we go next?" ”

"Go to the Zhao family's territory and meet the Zhao family, Tian Ji will soon attack the Zhao family, it is impossible for the Zhao family to be indifferent!" Tian Ji said to Xin Baili.

"Okay, then I'll go to the Zhao family with Your Excellency!" Xin Baili said to Tian Ji.

Three days later, in the station of Wu Qi in the new city, a letter arrived in front of Wu Qi, Wu Qi looked at the generals and said: "It seems that we are going to fight with the Zhao family in advance, and this Zhao family really has made some moves!" ”

After Wu Qi finished speaking, he put the letter on the candle on the side, and the meaning of the letter was basically that Qiucheng had taken refuge in the Zhao family and formed an alliance with the old Yue forces to help each other.

At this time, the old Yue forces gathered 200,000 troops to Qiucheng to support, and the Zhao family also sent 200,000 troops to Qiucheng to support.

Of course, this is only the vanguard force, if Qiucheng can be defended, then there will be a steady stream of reinforcements sent later, if it can't be held, the old Yue forces will retreat with the Zhao army, looking for the battlefield.

"And according to the meaning of the scout's letter, the Zhao family has also reached some agreements with the old Yue forces!" Wu Qi said to everyone.

"How is this possible, General, before the Yue Kingdom was destroyed, the Zhao family had been fighting against the Yue Kingdom, and after the Yue Kingdom was destroyed, the Zhao family had been keeping an eye on the aristocratic forces of the old Yue, it can be said that the Zhao family and the forces of the Yue Land were incompatible, how could the two sides reach an agreement?" A general looked at Wu Qi and asked.
