Spring and Autumn I Am King

ps: Chapter 2 is at night

The hailstones flew and smashed the eaves, but they couldn't cover up the screams of killing outside. Everyone in the hall was no longer talking, even those who were greedy and delicious, stopped the chopsticks in their hands, put down the wine cup, and listened quietly, waiting for the news of the outcome, waiting for Haotian's ruling.

Ji Ying held the rapier under the cushion tightly. She didn't lie. If the enemy army broke through the city, she would rather die than be captured and insulted.

She is the proud daughter of the surname Ying, the heir of the mysterious bird. She would rather accompany the emperor Xinyu to burn like Daji than to commit herself to the victor like Xigui.

Just then, the door was slammed open!

Zhao Guangde's arm was injured, and his armor was soaked with seeping blood. When he entered the room, several boys were startled and cried. There was a magpie doctor in white behind him while bandaging him.

"Win! We win!" he yelled as soon as he entered the door, regardless of the injury.

"What happened?"

"The enemy general fled, the soldiers outside the city collapsed, and Wenxian was saved!" Zhao Guangde was full of joy.

"Is Wu-shirt here?" Ji Ying looked at him eagerly, squeezed the corners of his clothes with both hands, and asked softly.

The noise inside and out was so loud that Zhao Guangde didn't seem to hear Ji Ying's words, and was still describing the situation incoherently to everyone at the time: "At that time, the Zhi army was besieging the water gate, and the reinforcements came through the night to cover up, so they were taken from them. After the attack, they hardly resisted, some ran away, and more bowed their knees and surrendered, begging for mercy, but their heads were chopped off, and the moat was filled with the floating corpses of the other generation. , countless torches came along the road and along the river bank. The key to victory was the cavalry. They defeated the Zhi clan like a spear pierced through the flesh of a melon. All of them were as brave as tigers. I really wanted to jump off the city wall and join in."

"I'm asking you, is Wu Xie here?" Ji Ying stood up, intensified his tone, and made Zhao Guangde head, and replied, "Exactly! It's my cousin's army, he sits in the army and commands everything, at this moment it should be Almost into town."

Cheering in the hall, on the walls of Wenxian County, and boiling in every lane, only Ji Ying breathed a sigh of relief and closed his eyes to thank Haotian for his blessing.

She did not join the cheerful ocean, but calmly ordered: "Come back from Hao, I will go forever; drink with friends, turtle and carp. Wu Xie and the soldiers returned from victory, must be very tired, quickly let people go down Prepare food and drinks, and I'll go out and treat them!"

When entering the city, Zhao Wu Xie, who was in the lead, saw Ji Ying in a red dress at a glance. She was surrounded by the female relatives who came out to greet Kun's father and brothers, as if standing out from the crowd.

Of course, what Zhao Wuxi saw was the black sheathed sword on the silk belt around her waist. She seemed calm, but when she came out, her heart was already in a mess, and she forgot to understand it.

Of course, Zhao Wuxi knew what this meant. He was very nervous. If he was a few days late, if he knew that his family's luck would be broken, if he failed to win the war, would Ji Ying's ending be better than history? More terrifying?

There is no doubt that Ji Ying was a sturdy woman who would rather be broken than jade, who could kill herself by grinding her hairpin, and also die by drinking a sword.

Fortunately, none of those assumptions happened. He dismounted and walked to her side. Zhao Wuxi stretched out his hand to take the sword without hesitation, and said with a smile, "It's better for my daughter's family to use needles and threads."

Ji Ying was happy in her heart, but she couldn't show her face too much, she just said lightly: "I heard that there is a female swordsman named Mo Xie under Wu Xie, who can not only make swords, but also forge swords. ?"

Zhao Wuxi shook his head: "Wuyue women have tattoos and inscriptions on their faces, fighting barefooted swords in the rivers and rivers. It's not for the fair ladies of the Central Plains." Is the legendary Xi Shi in Ramie Village also like this?

While the siblings were talking, they couldn't prevent Ji Ying's side beside Fang, who was two years old. The babbling little sister Zhao Jia stumbled over, opened her eyes and looked up at Zhao Wuxi, who was wearing a beautiful armor, and turned solemnly behind him. The incomparable black-clothed guards looked and looked.

"It's grown up a lot."

Zhao Wuxi picked her up in his arms. Compared with his shy nephew Zhao Zhou, he felt more intimate with this little girl, almost better than his own son. This little girl liked to drill into his arms when they met for the first time. After four months away this time, she still recognizes the shirtless and does not recognize the birth at all.

Not only that, but she also stared at the sword of the go-getter at Zhao Wuxi's waist, her chubby little hand stretched out towards him, and babbled, "Jianjian." Ying said that she still can't call her brother, she can only call the words father and sword.

"When I was named, I grabbed Bai Yuzhang with my two nephews, pushed them aside, grabbed a wooden horse in Zhou Shi, and saw Jian Zexi recently, I really don't know what will happen in the future." His mother Jin Juan Some worry, her status is low and she rarely speaks on weekdays.

Zhao Wuxi gave the answer: "Even if Zhao's daughter wears a sword, it can be used to cut paper. As for the sword that kills, it's up to my father and me to swing it."

He swore in his heart that he would never let his family stand under the wall of danger again!

"By the way, what about the father and others?"

A hint of worry flashed across Ji Ying's face: "Leave here ten days ago, and go to Zunguan"

The hail and light rain fell all night, causing most of the Zhi clan's troops to be scattered, but it also stopped the pursuit of the Zhao army. Relying on this, Zhi Xiaocai stumbled all the way to the southwest, and after a day and night and a day of running wildly, finally ran to Heyang.

Everyone was wet, frozen overnight and then scorched by the scorching sun of Ji Xia. The heat and cold were unbalanced, yawning and sneezing constantly. Many people fell to the ground while walking and fell into a deep sleep, unable to wake up no matter how much they shouted. , too hot. If the sick and wounded could not keep up, they would be left to fend for themselves, and could only be exhausted and paralyzed by the roadside waiting to be captured by the Zhao army.

In the end, there were only three or four hundred people left behind him, all of them exhausted.

Zhixiao is also like a defeated rooster, with its feather crest drooping. He really wants to lie down on the comfortable soft couch to sleep, hugging the soft body of the concubine's room. Compared with the current predicament, his life in the past makes him feel good about it. Lu Xing was even more resentful towards Wei Shi.

It wasn't until he saw the sparkling waters of the big river and the boats with faintly visible figures on the other side that he regained his spirits.

"Arrived, Mengjin is on the other side, as long as you cross the river, it is the royal family's territory!"

Their original plan was to attack Wen County. If they could conquer it, they would be the best, but if they couldn't, they would sail down the river and go to Zheng State after mobilizing Zhao Yang's defense. Of course, if you can't go downstream, you can head to Mengjin, and the royal family's ships will meet you here.

Zhixiao's grandfather, Zhibosong, had a close relationship with King Zhou and Shan Liu Erchu. In addition, the ruling Duke Liu was also an in-law of Fan Gaoyi, so the Zhou family always stood on the side of the Marquis of Jin and the Zhi clan during this war. Although no substantive support was provided, the righteousness alone was enough to make the Zhao family stand against the world.

What makes Zhi Xiao terrified and inexplicable is that the Zhao family doesn't care about it. From the beginning of the war to the present, the Qing emperor's side has destroyed Handan, forced the death of Fan Zhongxing's second minister, and the Yuncheng trial he didn't know about, beheading Yang Sheng Zhao. The father and son did not know how many things that went against the traditional etiquette and law, and now they have broken the encircling net opened by the joint feudal lords.

"When Zhao Wuxi came, the Qi Kingdom must have been defeated. How can we defeat them now?" Zhi Xiao was worried, but after a while, he only worried about himself.

Because Zhou Shi, who originally promised to send a fleet to meet him, only came over a small boat.

He watched helplessly as the boat approached, and a gentleman with long beards fluttering on it bowed to Zhixiao, Zhixiao asked angrily, "Who are you, Duke Liu promised to wait for the fleet on the other side. Woolen cloth?"

"In Xia Changhong, this is a long story." The scholar saluted again, looking ashamed.

"Chang Hong?"

The name of this person has been heard before. This Chang Hong was a sage of the Zhou Dynasty. He was very knowledgeable. In the chaos of the prince dynasty, he assisted Liu Wengong to win the civil war. Later, the head of the raccoon was set up, in order to make the princes respect Zhou again, and to expand the city of Zhou, so that the royal family had a place to live after the chaos of the prince dynasty. It was regarded by the king of Zhou and Liu Gong as the pillar of the country, and it is the actual ruling of the Zhou family today. By.

Chang Hong's visit in person also represents a change in Zhou Shi's attitude towards the dispute between Zhizhao and Zhao.

Chang Hong explained: "Shan Gong's fief was besieged by the Zhao clan and did not attack, so he insisted on pro-Zhao. Now that the news of the Zhao clan's defeat of the state of Qi has come, the doctors in the court who supported Shan Gong have the upper hand, and the emperor has already planned to Stop being an enemy of the Zhao clan, and the matter of cooperating with the Zhi clan's soldiers will naturally be left unresolved."

He was ashamed. Zhibo's plan was notified to the royal family in advance, but they regretted it temporarily. But in the eyes of Zhou Wang, Shan Gong, and Liu Gong, even so, it is better than continuing to offend the Zhao family! Now not only Fan, Bank of China, Handan, Wei, and Cao have fallen one by one, but even the people of Qi have been beaten terribly. The Zhao family is too scary! If it goes on like this, who knows if the next sacrifice will be the royal family?

Although Chang Hong had the right to make suggestions, he did not have the right to make decisions. What he can do now is to take the eldest grandson of the Zhi clan to the other side and give Zhi Bo an explanation.

"How can this happen, how can this happen?" Zhi Xiao lost his senses.

During the conversation, after a while, the smoke and dust reappeared on Tu Dao in the distance. It was Zhao's cavalry, and they had been looking for Zhi Xiao's whereabouts.

"Please, gentleman, get on the boat!" Chang Hong took a step and invited Zhi Xiao earnestly on the boat.

"Gentleman?" The hundreds of remnants of the Zhi clan were full of despair. They watched their commander's face turn blue and white, and finally jumped into the boat and followed Chang Hong to the south bank.

Zhibing stretched out his hand~www.wuxiahere.com~, but he didn't grab Zhixiao's clothes or the hull of the boat, but was forced back by the spear and halberd on the boat.

"Gentleman!"

Seeing that they had been abandoned, they cried out in despair, gritted their teeth, looked at Zhao Qi who was galloping, and knelt down and chose to surrender.

The ruler treats his subjects with courtesy, and the subject serves the ruler with loyalty. This is an exchange of equal value, but if the ruler abandons his subjects like grass, this loyalty will be meaningless.

So far, Zhi's military adventure ended in the annihilation of the entire army. Zhi Xiao, who survived on Changhong's boat, was embarrassed.

He probably would rather fight to the death with his subordinates than steal his life alone? Therefore, his clerks were willing to die for it.

Since then, Zhi Xiao no longer has the will to fight for succession, because Zhi Zhao's attack and defense have completely reversed, Qi country is defeated, the emperor is repeated, Wei's intentions are unpredictable, maybe in the near future, only Zhi Shi will be left. Alone. Therefore, the future heir of the Zhi family needs to have the courage and determination to lead the family to withstand Zhao Wuxi's surging offensive! (To be continued.)
