If you let me know that you are deceiving me, I will skin you and cut you into pieces. "
At this time, Zhao Xie stared at Jia Ran in front of him, threatening.
Jia Ran was also frightened, but then he gritted his teeth secretly, knelt down and kowtowed, and shouted loudly: "My lord Mingjian, what I said is true.
If you don't believe me, the king can bring Zhao Kuang's confidantes here to confront the humble minister face to face.
I still remember the names of those people, so I will tell the king..."
Immediately, Jia Ran reported the names of several Zhao generals, none of them were Zhao Kuang's confidantes.
"Okay, the king will definitely investigate this matter."
Zhao Xie said coldly.
But in fact, at this time, Zhao Xie had already believed Jia Ran's words in his heart.
Because Zhao Xie thought he knew Jia Ran, but he didn't believe that Jia Ran had the guts to deceive him.
"Zhao Kui, the money-losing king trusts you so much, you still seem to be imitating the traitor Sima Ang.
Since you are not benevolent, don't blame me for being unrighteous to you. "
Zhao Xie's eyes flashed with killing intent, thinking in his heart.
"Jia Ran, the king will entrust you with something tomorrow, and you must do it well."
After a while, Zhao Xie said to Jia Ran.
"promise."
Xu Feng in Pingyang City didn't know anything about the filth that happened on Zhao Jun's side.
At this time, the general of the Qin Army, Jiang Jie, was also pleading guilty to Xu Feng.
"General Jiang, get up, fight in the daytime, you have done a good job, don't blame yourself."
Xu Feng personally helped Jiang Jie, who was pleading guilty, and comforted him with a smile.
On the 29th, Zhao Jun continued to surround Pingyang City and started a new offensive.
"Zhao Kuan listens to the order."
"The end is here."
"Your Majesty has ordered you to disperse and support the east and west gates respectively. You will lead 2 troops and continue to attack the north gate."
After Zhao Kuang's subordinates heard the order sent by Zhao Xie, they immediately began to discuss in a low voice.
"General, don't divide your troops!"
Behind Zhao Kuan, a confidant whispered.
Obviously, the confidants behind Zhao Kuan were worried that Zhao Xie deliberately divided Zhao Kuan's power and weakened his power.
"What? General Zhao, are you planning to disobey orders?"
The general Zhao who came to pass the order shouted coldly.
"My minister takes orders." In the end, Zhao Kuan chose to accept the order.
Immediately, according to Zhao Xie's order, Zhao Kuan divided his direct descendants, that is, the [-] elite Zhao army, into three.
Among them, he only left less than 5000 people, plus a group of other miscellaneous soldiers, and continued to stay at the north gate of Pingyang to take charge of the attack.
The remaining 2 horsemen were all transferred to Zhao Xie's side at the east gate by Zhao Xie's order.
"Han Sui, Yang Yu, Zhou Lan... Your Majesty summons them all, come to me."
The generals on Zhao Kuang's side arrived at the east gate after leading the army.
Among them, the most confidant generals under Zhao Kuan's command received orders from Zhao Xie to go and obey the orders.
Naturally, these Zhao generals could not refuse Zhao Xie's order, otherwise it would be tantamount to rebellion!
Without the presence of Zhao Kuang, these Zhao generals could only obediently obey Zhao Xie's orders, and those who followed came to call Zhao Xie.
"Han Sui is suspected of treason, and now I am arresting him according to the king's order."
As a result, on the way, a Zhao general was directly surrounded by a group of Zhao soldiers, and the leading eunuch shouted coldly.
"What are you doing, what are you going to do!"
Han Sui yelled, but it was of no avail. He was alone, and he was no match for so many Zhao soldiers, so he was quickly caught.
At the same time, in other directions, several other Zhao Kuang's confidant generals, like Han Sui, were all arrested halfway.
"My lord, everyone has been arrested."
Soon, an eunuch quietly found Jia Ran and whispered.
"Okay. According to my previous orders, Zhou Lan will be left alone, and the rest will be killed."
Jia Ran said in a low voice.
"My lord, just in case..."
The eunuch was Jia Ran's confidant, but when he heard the task that Jia Ran had given him, he was still a little scared and said hesitantly.
"Don't worry, with my official here, I will keep you."
After the eunuch left, Jia Ran pretended to be flustered and rushed to Zhao Xie's side, exclaiming: "My lord, it's not good."
"what happened?"
Zhao Xie looked at the hurrying Jia Ran and asked.
"Your Majesty, just now you asked Wei Chen to send people to arrest Han Sui and the others, but they all disobeyed and fought with the sent guards.
Han Sui and Zhou Yu were killed, only Zhou Lan was brought back by us. "
"What! How dare they disobey orders."
Zhao Xie was furious after hearing this.
"Your Majesty, Han Sui and others are loyal to Zhao Kuang's subordinates, and they only listen to Zhao Kuang's orders."
Jia Ran began to add fuel and vinegar.
"Good death, damn it."
Zhao Xie shouted coldly.
Not long after, Jia Ran's confidant brought Zhou Lan over.
"Zhou Lan, according to what I told you before, the king listened to what I said.
If you make a mistake, your wife and children will die. "
Before Zhou Lan was brought to Zhao Xie, Jia Ran moved to his side and said in a stern tone.
"Yes, I know."
At this moment, Zhou Lan responded in a low voice with a decadent expression.
Soon, Zhou Lan was brought to Zhao Xie, and Zhao Xie asked him if he had heard Zhao Kuan say in private that he wanted to be crowned king.
Zhou Lan really wanted to say no, he knew that this was the villain Jia Ran who framed Zhao Kuang.
However, Zhou Lan couldn't do it, because his family of wives and children were all in Jia Ran's hands.
In the face of being loyal to Zhao Kuang and protecting her family, Zhou Lan finally chose the latter.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Kuan did have such thoughts, and even sent someone to Pengcheng to contact Xiang Yu."
Zhou Lan lowered her head and said, with a pained expression and tears streaming down her face.
"Zhao Kuan, you actually betrayed this king, you deserve to die!"
After Zhao Xie heard Zhou Lan's words, he roared coldly.
Jia Ran, who was on the side, snickered there.
"Jia Ran, do as you arranged last night. This king will see Zhao Kuan's head in the afternoon."
Zhao Xie gave orders to Jia Ran next to him.
"promise."
After hearing Zhao Xie's order, Jia Ran responded excitedly.
On the other side, at the north gate of Pingyang, the Zhao army was attacking the city, and the battle was fierce.
However, there are only less than 5000 elite Zhao troops remaining on Zhao Kuang's side, and the rest are all mobs, unable to conquer the city at all.
Zhao Kuan rode on a horse and stood on a hill far outside the city, looking forward to the soldiers and horses of the Zhao army attacking the city ahead, but he didn't know that there was a general of the Zhao army behind him at this time, raising a bow and arrow at him.
Whoosh!
puff!
There was a sound of piercing through the air, which first made Zhao Kuan stunned, where was the sound of piercing through the air!
But unfortunately, the distance was too close for him to react at all, and the arrow shot from behind stuck in his back.
At this point, Zhao Xie cut off his arm and killed the most capable general under his command.
After Zhao Kuan's death, the morale of the Zhao army plummeted, and Zhao Xie had no choice but to stop attacking the city and adopt a siege policy against Pingyang City.
After Zhao Kuan's death, Zhao Xie felt very satisfied, and sent his confidants to take over nearly [-] elite veterans left by Zhao Kuan.
But Zhao Xie didn't know that he ordered people to kill Zhao Kuan, which chilled the hearts of all the generals of Zhao Jun under him, and there was no Zhao Jun general who was sincerely willing to serve him, and lost the hearts of the people.
"The water source is cut off!"
In the next few days, more than [-] Zhao troops surrounded Pingyang City, and instead of attacking, they dug trenches outside the city and cut off the water source in Pingyang City.
"This king doesn't believe how long you can hold on in the city.
Hu Hai, this king will definitely catch you this time. "
Zhao Xie said swearingly outside the city.
At this time, it was summer, and Pingyang was hot. Ordinary people would die of thirst without water for half a day.
However, the water source of Pingyang City was cut off by Zhao Jun.
At the beginning, the Qin army and the people in the city didn't feel it yet.
It was not until the beginning of July that the water shortage in Pingyang became more and more serious, which caused panic.
"Siege without water, Zhao Xie has become smarter!"
In Pingyang City, Xu Feng said with a sneer after learning about Zhao Jun's new changes.
"Calculating the time, Huang Zhong's side should have succeeded, and the news should have passed.
Let Zhao Jun outside the city jump around for a few more days, and then I will settle accounts with you. "
Xu Feng thought in his heart.
In this way, another five days passed, and the water shortage in Pingyang became more and more serious, causing even greater panic.
Finally, on July [-]th, an astonishing news came from Taiyuan in the north.
"Jinyang City has fallen!"
After Zhao Xie heard the news, he was also stunned.
Chapter 158 The 30 Zhao Army Falls Apart
15830 million Zhao Jun fell apart
[Please recommend for collection! 】
"What? Jinyang has fallen? How is it possible.
Tell me clearly, what is going on? "
When Zhao Xie heard the news, he was stunned for a while, then rushed over and grabbed the collar of the general Zhao Jun, and shouted loudly.
"Great... Great King!
A Qin army crossed the Yellow River from Fushi City in the west and attacked Jinyang City. "
The Zhao Jun general said with fear in his eyes.
"Cunning Qin people."
