Open the gates.

This order did not cause any waves.

Everyone present was Lu Buwei's henchmen, so they were all informed of the news in advance.

It's not that no one has objected to this, otherwise, Lu Buwei has cultivated a lot of cronies in the past ten years, and it wouldn't be just these few people standing here with him.

The integrity of the old Qin people is still stronger after all.

The henchmen who stayed behind also saw very clearly that since the general trend of the Qin State had gone, it was time to throw themselves into the arms of the Zhao State.

Although this is actually an act of surrendering to the enemy, it is said that the values of the scholars of the Warring States period were originally different from those of the later great unified dynasty.

At this time, the scholars paid more attention not to their motherland, but to the country in which they could show their value and be reused by the king.

Now that the Qin State is already a building that is about to collapse, then the Zhao State is the only choice.

So after Lü Buwei's order, the east gate of Xianyang City slowly opened.

In the Zhao army's main formation outside the city, Pang Xuan looked at this scene and raised his eyebrows in some surprise: "The Qin people actually descended?" ”

After all, Pang Xuan has also been in the northwest for more than a year, and he naturally knows something about the Qin State.

Although it is said that Qin Wang Chu has run away now, but this is Xianyang, the capital of Qin, theoretically speaking, Qin Wang Chu should still send a more capable minister to guard here.

As a result, the Zhao army had just come to Xianyang City, and the Qin people surrendered......

Li Mu let out a sigh of relief and said to Pang Xuan: "General Pang Xuan doesn't know, in fact, this Xianyang guard general Wu Chengjun Lu Buwei, his real identity is an undercover agent sent by the king to the Qin State. ”

The matter of Lü Buwei's undercover agent has always been a top secret in Zhao State, although several important ministers of Longtai also learned about it, but Pang Xuan was not one of them.

However, it has come to this point, so Li Mu naturally has no need to hide Pang Xuan.

After learning the news, Pang Xuan unexpectedly showed a shocked expression, and it took a long time before he digested the news, and let out a sigh of emotion: "I can't imagine that the king has buried this chess piece ten years ago, it is really, really impressive!" ”

Li Mu smiled slightly, and said to Pang Xuan: "Pang Qing, come with me into the city." ”

In front of the eyes of the two of them, a team of Zhao troops had begun to enter Xianyang City in an orderly manner, and quickly took over the city defense of Xianyang City.

Everything went very smoothly.

Two quarters of an hour later, when the entire Xianyang East City Gate had been completely controlled by the Zhao army, Li Mu and Pang Xuan rode into the city surrounded by 3,000 personal guard cavalry.

Looking at the wide open Xianyang City Gate in front of him, Pang Xuan couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

I thought it would take a lot of hard fighting and a lot of time to take the city, but I didn't expect the victory to come so easily.

And Li Mu's face was much more normal, his eyes fell on the group of people who had been waiting at the city gate, slowly pulled the reins of the horse, and stopped.

"Wu Chengjun, long time no see."

Lu Buwei stood there with a group of cronies, arched his hand towards Li Mu, and also showed a polite smile: "Governor, long time no see." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Li Mu waved his hand, asked the guards to lead a horse, and smiled at Lu Buwei: "Please also ask Wu Chengjun to get on the horse and enter the city with me." ”

Pang Xuan on the side looked at this situation, and his face couldn't help but show a strange expression, thoughtful.

Lu Buwei laughed, turned over directly on the horse without refusing, and smiled at Li Mu: "Since this is the case, then I will be the guide for the Metropolitan Governor today." ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Wu Chengjun, I am still quite familiar with this Xianyang City." ”

Lü Buwei laughed: "General, please." ”

The three rode horses and entered the city from the avenue.

This is a very wide avenue, and there are many houses on both sides of the avenue, but at this moment, the doors and windows of every house are closed, and it looks particularly deserted.

The hooves of the three thousand cavalry were very densely beating on the bluestone slab, making a dull sound, Li Mu sat on the horse and looked left and right, and could feel that there were many eyes secretly looking at him from the window.

Li Mu turned his head sideways and said to Lu Buwei on the side: "Wu Chengjun, how many residents are there in Xianyang City now?" ”

Lu Buwei shook his head and said, "Since the Great King...... After the departure of Qin Wang Chu, seven out of ten people in Xianyang City fled into Lishan, and many fled to Yongdu, as for the specific number, it is impossible to estimate. ”

Since the escape of Qin Wang Chu, all the government agencies of Qin in Xianyang City have been paralyzed, and the control of Xianyang City is basically zero.

In fact, this is also the result of Lü Buwei's deliberate connivance and promotion, otherwise, Xianyang is the capital of Qin after all, and the people here are naturally the most affectionate towards Qin, if a minister is changed to sit here, as long as the city gate is closed and the army is controlled, at least it can delay the Zhao army for a lot of time.

But now that everyone is running away, naturally there will be no one to oppose Lü Buwei's move to dedicate the city.

Li Mu snorted and said, "These people of the Qin State would rather go to Lishan to be savages than become the people of the Zhao State?" How foolish! ”

Pang Xuan laughed and said, "After all, it's just a temporary strategy, I want to wait until they will come back in the future." ”

All three of them seemed to be in a good mood.

After a while, the three of them came to the palace city of Qin under the escort of the personal cavalry.

Although the palace has been invaded by many wars, and although the owner of this palace has left in a hurry, this majestic palace complex still sits here in silence, and the flying eaves shine in the sun.

Li Mu watched all this quietly, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

The once invincible Great Qin Empire finally lost its last glory.

At this time, a fast horse suddenly galloped over, and said to Li Mu with some excitement: "Governor Dadu, we found Wang Jian in the prison of Xianyang City!" ”

"Wang Qian?" Li Mu glanced at Lu Buwei on the side with some surprise.

You must know that according to Li Mu's thoughts, Wang Jian should cover the retreat of Qin Wang Chu at this time, how could he appear in this Xianyang City?

Lu Buwei spread his hands and said, "Wang Jian ...... The Metropolitan Governor will know when he sees him. ”

Li Mu nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then bring him here." ”
