Spring and Autumn I Am King

PS: The second one is at night

"The baggage was robbed? How is this possible?"

Chen Heng was full of depression. Originally, he had gone through a long and hurried journey south. Not to mention his physical fatigue, he had to keep racking his brains to calculate the monarchs, ministers and officials of Qi. Wang thinks too much and gets tired easily, so the thought of taking a break in a windproof tent after dark, although he still has to travel the next day, still makes Chen Heng very excited...

Qihou Yan ordered everyone to move at a speed that exhausted their physical strength. The result was heavy losses. If the wounded and sick in the war could not keep up, they would be left to fend for themselves. If they were lucky, they could wait until the baggage troops were rescued.

Every morning when they set off, some fell by the side of the road, fell asleep and never woke up; in the afternoon, others were paralyzed by the road, exhausted; in the evening, some people deserted. , escaping into the night, even some doctors began to shake.

There were already faint complaints in the army, and there was a big gap between staying in Yiyi and marching long distances. Those Chinese people who were motivated before and wanted to be loyal to Qihou and fight again have long since lost this idea. They just want to go home and hold their wives in the shed to escape this winter.

"Zhao Bing has lower morale and more losses!"

Qi Hou so encouraged the doctor and his soldiers. Indeed, for the past two or three days, the Zhao clan has been retreating in front, each time leaving many corpses, and the number of kitchen fires is decreasing day by day. Qi Hou felt that victory was in sight, and he was chasing after him. He insisted on completely defeating Zhao Bing and capturing Zhao Yang.

The officials obeyed, the soldiers endured, and they could still eat food every day. This was probably their last bottom line.

In short, just a moment ago, Chen Hengren was still in the tent, lying on the soft and comfortable fur couch, hugging the warm body of the concubine secretly brought out in his arms. He couldn't stand the pain of marching, and on weekdays these female maids pretended to be personal soldiers and hid in the carriage.

However, his real bodyguard hurried to shake him awake, reporting that there was great news from the baggage train.

now. When Chen Heng arrived in a hurry, he saw that the Qing doctor and the good people from the township summoned by Qi Hou all quieted down and listened to the scout's statement of what happened. In the spacious and windless tent of the Qi army, only the silver charcoal of the animal's head in the copper-fired furnace was crackling. Splash a little spark.

Qi Jun only brought rations for three days, and he could basically get some supplements every day, but today's ration team was late. Qi Hou sent people back to investigate in anger. It was only in the afternoon that he learned that there were dozens of people behind. Terrible things happened inside and out. Someone detoured behind. They raided Qi Jun's baggage, and the supply line they rely on for marching and survival!

The smart Chen Heng immediately understood that besides him, there was someone else who was plotting against Qi Jun.

...

"Who did it, how many troops... Also, did the son escape?"

Later, Qihou Chujiu, who had been silent for a long time in front of this news, asked a series of questions, and he hesitated to ask his son's whereabouts until the end.

Qi Hou has been in power for more than 40 years. He has several wives and many daughters who are married or to be married, but he has no direct son.

in several concubines. His favorite is the young son Tu, who was just born a few years ago. This son was born to his concubine Rui Ji. At that time, Qi Hou was already in his sixties. You can imagine the feeling of getting a son. The son was riding a horse, and the hall was full of laughter and crawled around, even knocking out his front teeth. Lu Jiujiu looked forward to this little guy who was very similar to him growing up soon, so that he would be able to pass the throne to him, but the grown-up son Yang Sheng was not welcome.

But Yangsheng is his own son after all, and he is an adult, so he should undertake some of the things that Qi Gongzi must do. I thought it would be safer and more secure to **** the food. You can let Yang Sheng experience it, and Qi Hou specially left some elites for this. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen.

"It is said that the people who attacked were nearly a thousand single riders, and they were fighting the Zhao's flag of Yanri Xuanniao. Young Master... Young Master is missing."

"How is this possible?" Dong Guoshu, who had been promoted for his great merit in breaking Yiyi, said loudly, "I saw Lizi and I with our own eyes that the banner of the military commander of the Jin State was dozens of miles ahead, and there were enough There are more than 10,000 people. We are chasing us towards the southeast, and from time to time we can kill, wound, and capture some Zhao soldiers.

Chen Heng suddenly said, "It's true that Zhao Yang is among the main force of Zhao soldiers in the south. But what about his son, Zhao Wuxie, a junior secretary of the State of Lu? Where is he!"

The Qi Jun tent was suddenly lonely, and everyone chewed on the name, which has been appearing in their ears since the battle of Zhen last year. Zhao Wuxi has always been the focus of He Ji, but since he captured Pu Nan, he seemed to be too quiet under the huge shadow of his father Zhao Yang.

Zhao's flaming sun and black bird banner, the cavalry of the arms... Now it is obvious who did this, Zhao Wuxi, and the doctors and officials were shocked.

Such a good Zhao Wuxi, this stab was really ruthless, and Chen Heng, who was at the bottom of the table, also felt a toothache. Although Zhao Wuxi's actions did not conflict with his plan, and he even helped him, Chen Heng still felt an uncomfortable feeling in his heart.

But he didn't care about jealousy. The most urgent task at the moment was what to do next so that the Chen family could get the most benefit.

Gao Zhang, who has always advocated retreating, said: "Your Majesty, it is no trivial matter to be robbed of luggage, why don't you retreat immediately!"

retreat?

This is a suggestion that Qihou Chujiu absolutely cannot accept. If this is the case, Qi Jun will probably have to go for nothing this time. What's more, Wei Guo paid a huge price this time. In order to prevent Jin's reinforcements from going to Yiyi, they had already lost Punan land.

Chen Heng saw Qi Hou resting his elbows on the desk, his fingers crossed, his chin pressed, and only his eyes moved when he listened. The long gray whiskers on his cheeks framed a motionless face that looked like a mask. However, the keen Chen Heng still noticed that the monarch's forehead was covered with tiny beads of sweat.

The monarch was hesitating, and Chen Heng was shocked and suddenly realized that this was a good opportunity to escape!

Chen Heng's plan to help his father consume Qi's office and the country's army and Gao's army is being implemented smoothly, but he doesn't want to lose too much, especially if he is involved, not to mention he doesn't want to spend another day in the bitterly cold military.

"It's just a sneak attack by the concubines of the Zhao clan, and it doesn't determine the success or failure of the entire war." Chen Heng took a step after figuring out Qihou's plan.

"The Qi Kingdom still has a chance. After chasing it forward for two more days, it will be able to force Zhao Bing to the edge of Pushui." After attracting everyone's attention, his confident voice cut through the noise, like a sharp sword cutting through grease.

Qi Hou's eyes lit up, but Gao Zhang stood up and objected: "Zhao's son riding alone without a shirt is unusual and very fast. If the grain stations along the way are also destroyed, then we will run out of grain within three days. …”

Chen Heng said proudly: "As for the rear, the minister is willing to lead the chariots and soldiers to look for the traces of Zhao's light cavalry, and compete with Zhao Wuxi on the battlefield in person! After the victory, I will send the food."

Chen Heng's initiative to ask for orders greatly comforted Qi Hou Laohuai, but he said hesitantly: "The son most likely fell into Zhao's hands." .

"The Zhao family will never dare to hurt the son. Your superior should know that the servant and the son have been friends for many years. If unfortunately they are captured, the servant will surely rescue the son safely!"

...

Qi Hou finally listened to Chen Heng's words, and he sealed up the news that the baggage was robbed and the son was captured so that no insiders would leak it. Immediately pretending to be okay, he continued to rest and pursued southwards, and he was bound to rush to Pushui before nightfall the day after tomorrow to have a decisive battle with Zhao Yang.

As for Chen Heng, he brought a total of 100 chariots, and 3,000 elite soldiers who belonged to the Chen family returned to the north. He hurried to the place where the baggage was ambushed, looked for survivors, rescued Young Master Yangsheng, and stopped Zhao Wuxi from continuing to cut off Qi's food route.

But Chen Heng's most important purpose is actually to stay away from the center of the vortex of war, and let the soldiers of Qihou, Gao and Zhao have a good time!

So he didn't even forget to bring those concubines who were dressed as personal guards.

Because it was chariots and elite soldiers moving fast, Chen Heng's speed was very fast, and by the evening, he was not far from the attack site. The sun was still hidden in the dark clouds, and the broad-leaved forest, whose leaves were almost gone, looked extremely cold. It was here that they encountered the first wave of defeated soldiers.

...

Those Qi people appeared so suddenly, which caught Chen Heng off guard. When he got the news and rushed to the front-rejection position, he was immediately stunned by the sight in front of him.

I saw a total of more than 2,000 people, all of their armor and clothes were stripped off, so they were either wearing thin brown clothes, or huddled together with their shirtless to avoid the cold and wind. The uninjured supported the injured and slowly moved forward with a limp. The seriously injured were carried on a simple stand made of branches or spear handles, and even the dead were carried on their backs. It solidified into a black block, so there was no need to drip blood along the way.

Chen Heng rode the car around for half a circle, and had people drive these people to the side of the road. Hugh wanted to block the way. After struggling for a while, he learned that they were the defeated soldiers of Qi who had been captured by Zhao Wuxi earlier. He was released an hour ago.

He ordered one of the "liyousi" with a good face, that is, a small military officer who commanded more than 50 people to come and ask questions.

"What's going on here?" Chen Heng was a little strange. According to common sense, the prisoners are usually taken back to the city to be released~www.wuxiahere.com~ But this Zhao Wuxi actually released them on the spot?

"The sons of the army, the good men of the township, the company commander, and the liyousi were all found and detained. I was not recognized because my followers had fled, so I escaped the catastrophe. Then those Jin people rode their horses alone. Watching with open bows, forcing us to bring all the dead and wounded comrades, wait by the stream first, and then slowly walk south after giving an order. The ground is also whipped."

There Yusi's voice was dull from exhaustion, and on his tattered brown clothes, dried blood stains covered the stitching lines of the sewing.

After Chen Heng listened, he vaguely guessed Zhao Wuxi's plan, and secretly scolded this person for being insidious and sinister. Such a shameless trick could be used.

"Zhao Wu Xie, Zhao Wu Xie, do you think I don't know what you want to do?" (To be continued.)
