Spring and Autumn I Am King

PS: There is another chapter in the evening

The sky was overcast, and the tragic killing last night had passed. The vibrant morning sun emerged from the clouds, and the small town Taigu was shrouded in warm sunlight.

The battle has ended. After a day and night of fighting, one after another sturdy warriors fell to the front of the city. Today, every inch of the two-zhang-wide city wall is filled with corpses, and the ground is full of weapons, broken spears, broken swords, and curved bows. The original khaki walls were drenched with blood, and at this moment there were bursts of blood red. The entire Taigu town was like a huge slaughterhouse, and the air was filled with a **** and sour smell.

When Yu Rang climbed to the top of the city, the last resister was finally killed.

The thin Zhao clan official leaned on the flagpole with round eyes, as if he would fight at any time, but in fact, he had already been breathing in and not breathing out, and he had already died. His body was riddled with holes, but what finally killed him was the fatal sword wound on his chest. It was not obvious, but it was fatal. Only Yu Rang could stab him so accurately and without hesitation.

Yu Rang was the winner of the duel, but he couldn't see the joy of winning. He held the sword that was still dripping blood, and stood silently in front of the dead body of the Zhao army officer, as if he was in silence. It seems to be paying homage.

"I would rather die than guard the military flag behind me. This is, does a scholar die for a confidant?"

Yu Rang murmured such a sentence, and seemed to sense the light coming from the sky, so he raised his head to look at the sky, his originally sharp eyes now had an indescribable silence.

"What is this person called?"

Yu Rang turned his head and saw that Zhiyao came over, frowning and looking around. He was very dissatisfied with the battle, but when he saw this scene, he was still a little touched.

He loves talents and seeks talents as much as Zhao's father and son recruit talents. The two most unseen things in this life are the late beauty of beauty and the last years of strong men.

Zhiyao pointed at General Zhao, who could not fall even though he was dead, and said, "I can make my 20,000 army stand under the city and defend it for a day and a night without losing it. It's amazing. I want to know how famous he is."

Yu Rang saluted: "The prisoner said that it was a Zhao clan master named Wu Jing, who was Zhao Wuxi's confidant who followed him when he was in the country. He was originally a mediocre soldier, but he was gradually promoted to his current position. "

Zhiyao nodded: "Zhao Wuxi has some vision, do you respect this person very much?"

Mucha stood up straight: "This man is a state scholar, I have brought him down, and I also hope to bury him generously." Although each has its own master, loyal men will also sympathize with each other.

"That's right, let's bury him with the coffin prepared for the doctor in the army." Zhiyao still has a trace of aristocratic temperament, and he will also give a certain respect to the brave defeated. This attitude makes He is quite a scholar, much stronger than Zhong Xingyin and Fan Jishe.

"But first, let's bring down the flag that he desperately guards!" Zhiyao and Yu Rang raised their heads at the same time, Zhao's flag was still hanging at the highest point, and the flag surface stained with blood was weak after the wind stopped. He lowered his head, like a mysterious bird with broken wings.

This is what Wu Jing guarded with his life. After it was replaced by the banners of the Marquis of Jin and Zhi clan, it also meant that the Zhao-Han coalition was completely defeated in the west of Taihang: the Han clan's territory was lost, and the Zhao clan only had Jinyang and the eldest son. lonely city.

It can be seen that Yao still did not dare to despise him in the slightest. It took him a whole year to wipe out the territory that Zhao Han fought in the southern part of Jin. Although he defeated Han Hu several times, he never fought against the main force of Zhao.

In other words, Zhao Wuxi never regarded him as his main enemy and never paid attention to him? A humiliation of being ignored surged in my heart. Since seven or eight years ago, no matter what achievements Zhiyao has made in China, he will be compared with Zhao Wuxi, who is in exile. This comparison shows that his achievements are not worth mentioning. Everyone says that the Zhao family is the sun, and the young grandson of the Zhi family is the moon. The moon will never be able to shine with the sun. …

He has always been dissatisfied, and has always wanted to pursue it bravely, but now, there is a trace of unconfidence.

"A commander who is not well-known, with hundreds of Zhao's old soldiers, can let me stay here for two days, with nearly a thousand soldiers killed and wounded. If every Zhao's army and every city is so tough, I will How to defeat Zhao Wuxi?"

The next war, I am afraid it will be more **** and cruel.

Through the sunlight, Zhiyao turned his attention to the Taihang Mountains, which were getting higher and higher to the east. There are dozens of hills in a row, the peaks are not high, but they are continuous and endless, and the end cannot be seen at a glance.

Since there is no confidence in the Zhao family to win, let's beat the Han family first. When the Han family left Shangdang, it could be said that he supported the old and brought the young. Han Hu was soft-hearted and could not bear to leave his clan and female relatives behind, so he moved slowly.

The defeated army, even though they were killed in the hundreds, still suffered a lot of defeats. In the usual way, Zhiyao was not sure to capture the pass, but at a time when the Han family was shaken and people were unstable, there might be a little chance...

Although I was delayed here for two days, I know that Yao's subordinates also have a lot of light soldiers recruited in the mountains, so I will send Yu Rang to lead them to chase after them. If they can catch Han's tail on the road, then Homeopathy broke the barrier. In the next time, Zhao will have to fight alone!

...

Zhiyao expected it was not bad, there was indeed a panic on the road. This morning, the crooked soldiers were lying, leaning, or sitting on the mountain road. The dilapidated armor, only half of the weapons left, and the tired faces of the soldiers, all clearly showed that this was a hard-fought army.

In addition to this, there are many nobles and commoners, some of whom are driving cattle and horses and vehicles, while others are empty-handed and can only swallow their saliva to watch other families make meals.

Han Hu was at the forefront of the team. After taking a sip of rice soup, he looked at the broken bowl. He felt inexplicably sad in his heart. He could eat hot food, but the soldiers and people who died tragically along the way were gone. Such an opportunity.

Pingyang was lost, his father died, followed by the defeat of Shaoshuibian, and the fall of Tongjiao. It wasn't until ten days ago that Shangdang was also lost. The **** war became more and more clear. The scenes of blood and blood kept repeating in his mind. The fallen retainers and clansmen seemed to be strips of skin The whip whipped hard in his heart, and his whole body twitched in pain.

A crystal teardrop rushed out of Han Hu's eyes, and without the slightest hesitation, it slid down the fair skin, until it dripped on the smooth chin, and the music symbol next to him was stunned. Look, I thought it was a beauty hurt.

Han Hu also knew that his appearance could not be seen by his retainers and clansmen, otherwise it would cause them a new round of panic.

"As long as you reach the pass, you will be safe!"

To the east of Chuguan is the last Hanoi territory of the Han family. At the peak of the Han family’s nine counties, there are only three counties left. In this war, the Han family suffered far more losses than the gains. The retainers and clansmen were shaken, and it is not surprising that they did not have hope for the prospect of this war. Even Han Hu was under such pressure. I can't stand it anymore...

But no matter what, he still had to grit his teeth and carry it. His father was dead, his grandfather was ill, and Han's burden fell on his shoulders, not to mention that so many people depended on Han Hu for their lives and deaths.

Looking around, there were five or six thousand people in the defeated army, most of which were nobles and civilians who were unable to fight. If the enemy pursued, they would definitely be swallowed up from end to end, and it would be impossible to organize resistance at all. Fortunately, there was the Queen of Wujing Palace in the back, and he was dragging Zhiyao. At noon that day, Han Hu finally arrived at the stone gate.

But he was not happy, but even more melancholy. Although the pass was still intact and the mudslide hadn't destroyed it, a huge gap had already opened in the hearts of everyone in the Han family.

Sure enough, after settling down, someone else came to propose, openly and secretly, that the gate might not be able to hold for a long time, it is better to plead guilty to the Marquis of Jin, break away from the Zhao family, and maybe get back the lost territory...

"Ridiculous! As an enemy of the Zhao family, I will even lose several counties in Hanoi! Not to mention that the revenge of killing my father has not been avenged, how can I bow my head to the enemy?" Han Hu stood up and repelled everyone. The price was too high, and it was impossible to get away, so I could only hope that the Zhao family would win the final victory and compensate the Han family as promised.

But why didn't he have any doubts in his heart? The vows of righteousness in Taoyuan echoed in my ears, but Wei Ju had already betrayed them first. Zhao Wuxi's choice was confusing. Han Hu understood the danger of being attacked on both sides. Zhao Wuxi decided to defeat Qi people first. , and then concentrate on solving the Western Front, but the problem is, it is he Han who is injured and bleeds for this strategy!

Doubt is like a seed sown in spring, gradually sprouting in Han Hu's heart, he can't help but think about it, after all, he hasn't heard from the East for ten days.

"Could Zitai have been defeated by the Qi people in the east? Or even died?"

"I heard that the Chen family and the Bank of China are fighting Handan. Has it fallen? Could the enemy have already hit Chaoge southward, and the state and Yewang..."

"He wouldn't do it on purpose... deliberately ignore the western front, let me stand in front, so that Han's losses are heavy, and he is so weak that he can only follow his orders?" A terrible thought flashed, making Han Hu shudder. , can only put on armor at night, patrolling in the pass.

But this can't ease his worries. In this pass, he is already the most determined person. If there is no more hope, Han Hu really has no confidence to block Zhiyao's sharp attack at Zunguan.

The next day, the scouts came to report that Taigu had fallen, and the entire Zhao Bing after the breakup was wiped out. The Zhi clan was in a hurry. The last group of Shangdang refugees who came to Zunguan was attacked by his forward, and a lot of them died. The rest were fleeing here, but Han Hu didn't know if there were any people who had mixed in with Zhi clan. .

His heart was too soft. Looking at the begging refugees outside the gate, he was hesitating whether to open the door or not, when the Zhi family's flag also began to wave in the mountains. 20,000 troops approached the gate from several mountain roads. The tiger's eyes are particularly dazzling...

The retainers were whispering, the soldiers were grimacing, and a series of defeats made them lose the courage and confidence to fight again.

How to do?

Han Hu's heart was twisted into a ball, rolling stones, bows and arrows, giant trees, he could order his soldiers to use these things to block the enemy for a while, but it was difficult to stop his soldiers from losing their minds.

"Reinforcements are coming!"

At this time of crisis ~www.wuxiahere.com~, a messenger arrived at the east of the pass holding a silk book high, announcing a message along the way, which lifted everyone's spirits. It was the retainer Duan Gui who Han Hu sent to Wenxian and went all the way to Wei to ask Zhao Wuxi for help!

"Is Zitai back?" Han Hu almost burst into tears again. He lost his previous image of a gentleman and asked Duan Gui's collar with both hands.

Duan Gui also had a haggard face. He must have arrived all night. He hurriedly replied, "I heard on the way back to the west that the Zhao clan has been defeated by the Qi army."

"Really!?" Han Hu was overjoyed, but his smile stopped immediately.

"But it's not General Zhao who is here, he's still on his way back from Lu State..."

"How many reinforcements are there, and who will command them?"

"Half of Hanoi Zhao Bing is here, and the head coach is the Central Military Officer."

Duan Gui raised his head and said excitedly, "The gentleman heard right, it was Zhao Qing himself!"
