Chapter 145 Chu Jin Qi Qin (Thanks to xia186 for the monthly pass)

Ji Liuyu took a deep breath and looked at him with his eyes as if they were scorching, "Have we arranged the messenger we sent back to the Jin Kingdom?"

Xian Yan shook his head in frustration and said, "Childe, Zhao Chuan is bent on going his own way, and no one is allowed to report the news!"

Then he said heavily, "In this battle, the Chu army has defeated all the allies of our Jin army, and the hegemony of our Jin country has been substantially shaken, even if our army really fought back against Ruo Ao Ziyan in this last battle, when Zhao Chuan's military behavior was dangerous, the situation is still not optimistic." If Ao Ziyan leads the Chu State to dominate the Central Plains, the Chu State has already made Zheng Gong bow down, and if my Jin State is also defeated in the final battle, the name of the overlord of the Central Plains will inevitably be lost, and what will my Jin army do in the coming year!"

"Don't talk about the next year, just talk about the present!"

Ji Liuqing's face was pale.

At this time, how much he hoped that Zhao Dun would learn about the current situation of the Jin army and take the initiative to send someone to ask them to withdraw and return to the Jin Kingdom.

But Zhao Chong even blocked the last road for them.

What a self-digging grave!

With the promulgation of Zhao's order to attack Chong, there was an immediate huge commotion in the Jin army stationed in Beilin, and everyone was ready to pull out the camp, cross Zhengdi, pass through Chengzhou, and take the Qin ally Chongguo along Luoshui.

In the dark night, the Jin army camp was crowded, and the remaining 40,000 troops, at a glance, looked like giants squirming with difficulty, crawling slowly on the Zheng land that was nearly a hundred miles long.

Ji Liuyu turned over his horse and left with the army, looking at Zhao Piercing, who was determined to get the color on the bronze chariot guarded by layers of heavy soldiers, even though the stars were shining tonight, and the Milky Way was hanging in the sky, illuminating the road ahead, but he only felt that the future was bleak.

When they went to Chongguo, everyone knew that they were very likely to meet the Qin army, and they were followed by the Chu army in the rear, with a Qi army with unknown intentions.

Even though in the last battle, the elite of the Jin State was exhausted, but it still made Xian Contempt worried, whether it was because of the defeat of Chengpu or the Battle of Hequ, if Ao Ziyan and the Qin Gonggong would not let go of Zhao Chuang and the Jin State.

They will be attacked on their backs.

But he still has to go his own way.

The army along the official road hurried at night, and first attacked the horse forward, since it was impossible to change Zhao Chuan's decision, he had to try his best to remedy it.

asked Ji Liuyu in front of him, "Childe, this is going to Chongguo, if we really encounter the two countries of Chu and Qin, how should we deal with it?"

"Qin Chu and my Zhao clan both have a vendetta, and this battle will inevitably take Zhao Chuan's life. Even if Zhao Wear is fine, but once defeated, Zhao Wear has Zhao Dun to rely on himself to get away with it, but as a military assistant with the army, the generals will be sent to the hall of military trials and be questioned as war criminals, and the prince will not be able to get away with the throne. ”

In the last battle of Hequ, Xu Ke, who attacked Qin with Zhao Chuan, was guilty of Zhao Chuan, and was finally driven out of the seat of the six secretaries of Jin by Zhao Dun, and other countries were hostage.

"So we have to keep Zhao Wear no matter what!"

Ji Liuyu clenched the reins of the horse, looked at the homeland of Jin in the north, and remembered that for many years, his mother Jiang kept saying to him: "Yu'er, you are the son of the Jin Kingdom, you want to go back, go back to the Jin Kingdom...... Then you're where you belong!"

"Then return to the Jin Kingdom in a dignified manner!"

……

The winter night in the north is cold, in Jincheng, Jin Kingdom, in a hotel, all the Zhao clansmen, retainers, generals, cronies, ministers, all gathered together, and knelt down to ask the middle-aged Zhengqing among them, "Zhengqing has received the great favor of the Jin State, and he is unwilling to turn his back on the faint king, and he is unwilling to leave the Jin Land, although it is a benevolent and faithful act, but what if the assassins of Linggong chase and kill?"

On the main seat, the two floor-to-ceiling bronze candlesticks on the left and right are lit with faint one-star lights, illuminating the resolute side face of Zhao Dun, the chief secretary of the Jin Kingdom, who is wearing the court clothes of the Jin Kingdom.

Zhao Dun, who had been in power for fifteen years in the Great Jin Dynasty, raised his hand high, rejected all his brothers and uncles, and the advice of his retainers to leave the Jin Kingdom for refuge, and decided to stay in the Jin Kingdom.

"I, Zhao Dun, as the secretary of the Jin State, my father taught us to serve the country wholeheartedly, I have assisted the Duke of Wen and the Duke of Xiang for two generations of Ming lords, rebuilt the three armies and six kings, and rejected the Qi State in the east, the Qin State in the west, and the Chu State in the south, so that the prestige of the Jin State rose to an unprecedented height. ”

"Is it because Linggong was young and was instigated by traitorous ministers to kill my Zhao Dun and leave today, so that my hegemony of the Jin Kingdom will end, and even hide in Tibet for the rest of my life?"

"Second brother, where is our Zhao family going, which prince will not invite us to go with a high-ranking official. ”

"It's not a run!"

His brother Zhao Yingqi looked at him, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the capital city of Quwo, even if he was far away, he seemed to be able to hear the barking of the two hundred dogs raised by Linggong, and admonished in a deep voice, "And the second brother listens...... Linggong is now afraid that he is singing and dancing all night on the platform to celebrate the death of the second brother. ”

"Linggong is not a king, it is the misfortune of my Jin Kingdom!"

"But is the second brother going back to Quwo to be killed?"

"Even if the second brother doesn't want to think about himself, he has to think about my Zhao clan...... Thinking about the younger brother leading the troops to attack Zheng and fighting against the Chu State, he will inevitably be tied down by the assassination of Zhengqing. ”

"In the end, this battle will not only lose the life of the second brother, but also destroy the hegemony of the Jin State established by my Zhao clan, and even once any country of Chu, Qin, and Qi learns that the monarchs and ministers of my Jin State are not in harmony, they will inevitably send troops to attack. ”

"Once the three major powers join forces to attack Jin, our Jin country will inevitably be embattled. ”

All the retainers of the Zhao family have been bitterly admonished.

Ask Zhao Dun to change his mind.

Zhao Dun, who lived in the middle, still said, "It is I who know that if I don't quickly resolve this tragedy of discord between the monarch and the minister, it will lead to an even greater tragedy, so now I want you to quickly send someone to inform Zhao Piercing to withdraw from the army!"

"Retirement?"

Zhao Kuo, the boss who had not spoken, was shocked when he heard this, "It was my Jin State who proposed to attack Zheng, but at this time I had to take the initiative to withdraw from the army, Brother Dun, what reason do you want to withdraw from the army, so that my Jin army will not lose face to the major princes?"

The old Zhao Yingqi heard this, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

As long as Zhao Wear returns with his troops, their Zhao clan will have the support of the army again, even if Zhao Dun is unwilling to kill Jin Linggong with his own hands and bear the name of Shijun, but with Zhao Chuan's temperament, he will inevitably kill the mediocre Jin Linggong to avenge him.

What's more, just a piece of Zheng land is not in his Zhao family's eyes.

It's not the same when you come to pick it up.

So Zhao Yingqi opened his mouth and agreed, "The second brother doesn't know, at this time, the Chu and Jin wars have not been divided, and the retreat is a good opportunity." If we really wait for the news of discord within our Jin Kingdom to spread, and then be forced to withdraw from the army, it will really be very unfavorable to our Jin Kingdom. ”

"Yes, besides, Benqing has already received a secret letter from Yue Jiao, the son of Ruo Ao of Chu State, and he wants to join forces with me to defeat Ruo Ao Ziyan inside and outside the Jin Dynasty. ”

"The state of Chu is going to die, take care of its illness!"

"Don't worry!"

Zhao Dun ordered him to take out the handwritten letter that Yue Jiao had sent to him after several twists and turns, and it was also stamped with his personal seal, "So there is no need to discuss this matter, and I ordered my brother to return to China immediately!"

"No!"

So just as Chu, Jin, Qin, and even the four kingdoms of Qi were about to have a greater spark, several fast horses went out of Jincheng in the Jin Kingdom, entered the Gongcheng of Zheng State, and went south through the Tiger Prison Pass to Xinzheng.

The twilight is heavy, Kyushu is vast, and the sky is wide.

It seems that the whole world is about to rise from this moment to an even greater bloody storm.

In the face of the Jin State, which was about to go to Chongguo to take revenge on the Qin State, how could the Chu army let them leave easily?

This is naturally impossible.

In the camp of the Chu army, Ruo Ao Ziyan looked at Ye Xiangru, who had been clamoring in the tent to make another great contribution, and said, "Okay, Xiangru, then I will give you a great merit!"

"What credit?"

Ye Xiangru was overjoyed when he heard this, he was so happy to fight this battle, and he had never been so smooth.

"Rob and kill Zhao Chuan!"

If Ao Ziyan slowly spit out the four words, a hint of ambition rose in his eyes.

The big hand with dry and broken skin slowly rubbed the hilt of the Fengsheng sword inlaid with jade on his waist, and said in a cold tone, "Those who are arrogant and chaotic will be defeated!"

"Zhao Piercing is arrogant by nature, he has been invincible in this battle, and his attack on Chongguo shows that he has lost his mind!

"Is this Zheng Guo his Jin Guo Zhao Wear come when he wants, and leave when he wants?"

"My 130,000 sons of Dachu have come all the way, if I can't take his head back and sacrifice to the king, what face will I have to return to Chu?"

As soon as he said it, the whole army responded.

"This Zhao Wear really can't let him leave so easily!" Sun Hou also stood up and bowed his head heavily.

The Sun family guarded the northern border and held on to the Zhao family of the Jin State for nineteen years, knowing that the Zhao family was the current enemy of the Chu State.

"Come on, everyone, how can we not send Zhao Chong on the last ride?" Ye Xiangru shouted with a spear.

"This last journey, count my grandson!"

After Sun Hou expressed his position, Sun Wuyi, who had long been ready to move, also patted his sword and said loudly, "Sun family sons, it's time for my Iron Guards to fight back hard against the Jin Kingdom!"

"Good!"

"Let Zhao wear there is no return!"

"Let the Jin army go and have no return!"

The winter moon is frosty and white, if Ao Ziyan presses the sword and rises, under the bleak moonlight, he draws his sword out, his eyes are smiling, and he flies arbitrarily.

The sword is frosty, ten years of sharpening, and once unsheathed.

The soldiers are bright and famous.

"Childe!"

"Dashuai!"

Qingpu, Jiang Liu, and all the sons and daughters of the Ruo Ao clan all raised their heads and looked at the young man in the middle of it stupidly, and at the same time clasped their right hand into a fist on their beating left atrium, fell to the ground on one knee, drew their swords and swore an oath, "Let Zhao wear it and never return!"

"Let the Jin army go and have no return!"

Even Mao Ba and the others had to be convinced, and fell to their knees in the dust with the whole army, raising their young and tough faces, stained with the snow and cold on their swords.

Look deeply at the highness to whom they are allegiant.

The man chosen.

In the marching tent, Ruo Ziyan pointed to a forest on the marching map and said, "Similarly, later you will bring all three days of dry food and lead 5,000 ambush soldiers to rush here to deploy troops." According to Zhao Chuan's character, he is in a hurry to retaliate at this time, and he must have no time to take care of the head and tail. ”

"Good!"

Ye Xiangru bowed his head.

"The Jin Kingdom killed Zhao Shou in this battle, and within ten years, Zhao Dun did not dare to wave his troops south again!"

Ruo Ao Ziyan looked at the crowd, and finally his eyes fell on Sun Wuyi, who was waiting for the order, "And the righteous brother still has a head to take!"

"Who?"

Sun Wuyi raised his eyebrows, looked at Ruo Ao Ziyan with his sword, and waited for his order.

"The son of Duke Wen of Jin and the uncle of Duke Ling of Jin. ”

"Ji Liuyu!"

If Ao Ziyan spit out this name without changing his face, he did not have the slightest mercy because of the former alliance.

Each of them is his own master, so he lives and dies with one another, and each has his own destiny!

"Now Jin Linggong has no way, and the rest of the sons are incompetent, only this son is a big trouble, so this person must be removed!"

After listening to all the final arrangements of Ruo Ao Ziyan's battle, Sun Hou slapped Ruo Ao Ziyan's shoulder with a big fan-like hand, and laughed and praised, "Okay, the back waves of the big river push the front waves, and it is expected to be exhaustive!"

"I have a successor to the Great Chu, if you see the defeat of my Chu army in the sky, you will definitely smile for nine days. ”

"Our Chu army has run out of food, and this battle is a matter of victory or defeat!"

"Success, not failure!"

"Yes, Dashuai!"

The Chu army fought for more than two months, and Yu raised his eyebrows in the last battle.

The Qin army went all the way west to Hanguguan, bypassing Cheng Zhou and invading the Jin State in the east.

The Qi army fell closely behind the Chu army, chasing the Jin army, and the beautiful name was about: "Watch the battle nearby".

The armies of the three kingdoms came out together.

For a while, Zhao Wear and even the Zhao family behind him were under siege.

"Enemies in front and behind!"

Ji Liuyu sighed, the Chu army was ambushed on the only way, and it was inevitable to win Zhao Chuan's life.

At this time, for Ji Liuqing, it is necessary to take advantage of the fact that the Qin State has not arrived to repel Ruo Ao Ziyan's pursuers as soon as possible, otherwise, they will be trapped in the Zheng State, and there will be no return!

However, if Ao Ziyan is not a fool, will he lose?

Just as he was thinking, Xian Xian hurriedly came with a messenger, handed over Zhao Dun's book, and said ecstatically: "Childe, Zhao Qing really sent someone to deliver the letter." “

Ji Liuyu took the letter, unfolded it, and was overjoyed, there was only one thing in the letter: order Zhao Wear to withdraw immediately!

Ji Liuyu immediately went to Zhao Chuan's car to present the letter to Zhao Chuan, and the soldier who delivered the letter followed behind, seeing that Zhao Chuan's hesitation after reading the letter, he stepped forward and said, "Dashuai, the villain still has a message from his son." ”

"Linggong chases and kills Zhengqing, return quickly to take revenge!"

When Zhao Chuanyan heard this, the sheepskin roll in his hand was crumpled into a ball, and he was furious, "Ji Yi anoints you toothless child!"

"Order the entire army to withdraw!"

His eyes were cold, compared to Ruo Ao Ziyan, Zhao Wear was even more evil for a long time.

"Withdrawing troops?"

"But on what grounds?"

The generals were shocked when they heard this, "Doesn't the retreat at this time show that my Jin State is afraid of the Chu army?"

"The state of Chu is going to die, take care of its illness!"

"If we withdraw our troops, they won't be pleased!" Zhao said.

"But now that the Chu army is in hot pursuit, how can we leave if we want to?" the generals said in a trembling voice as they pointed to the Chu army coming from behind with smoke and dust.

As soon as these words came out, even Zhao Chuan was silent.

Ji Liuyu already knew the news that Jin Linggong had openly assassinated the Zhao family, and knew that Jin Linggong had reached the end of his life, so he looked at everyone and said, "Then this son will lead 10,000 elites of the Jin Kingdom to break off, and you will retreat first!"

"Good!"

"Liuyu, if you can come back alive, I, Zhao Chuan, swear here, I will definitely send you to the throne of the Jin Kingdom!" Zhao Chong looked at Ji Liuyu for the last time before leaving.

"Okay, wait until I get back!"

Great opportunity, Ji Liuyu should return to China immediately, but he took the initiative to give up, looked at the army going north, first contempt and then looked around at the remaining 10,000 horses around him, facing the 50,000 Chu army, he knew in his heart that they had no way to live, "Gongzi ......"

"I know I'm sorry for your concerns. ”

"But I need this battle to establish the prestige of my son-in-law in the country! And I saved Zhao with my life, I want the Zhao family to owe me a great favor and repay it with the position of the prince of the Jin Kingdom!"

Ji Liuyu had already made a decision in his heart at this time: no matter what in this battle, he would fight with his life to gain the support of the Zhao family, instead of becoming an outcast, becoming a proton again, and finally dying in a foreign land like other brothers.

"Yes!"

Xian contempt looked at the man in front of him who had been in exile in Cheng Zhou for more than ten years, and he did not indulge in it because of Cheng Zhou's gentle township, and suddenly his confidence in his heart increased, and he knelt on the ground and swore, "First contempt is willing to follow the son, but as a drive, live and die together, and go to Huangquan together!"

"Good!"

"Let's meet Chu Jun for a while!"

At this time, Zhao Chong had already led the troops to retreat, and the sky had not yet dawned, Ji Liuqi stood in front of the last 10,000 horses, and loudly encouraged morale: "Heroic soldiers of the Jin Kingdom, today's battle is a battle of life and death, and a battle to defend the glory of my Great Jin! If we win, we will have glory and wealth, gold and silver, and wealth; if we lose, no one will be spared, and we will all be killed by Da Chu Ruo Ao Ziyan!" Soldiers, if you advance now, you may not live, and if you retreat, you will definitely die, in order to live, pick up the sword in your hand, and let the enemy know the power of our Jin Kingdom Warriors!"

The soldiers have been defeated and retreated by the Chu army for several days, and now the army is even more gone, and they have understood that if they don't want to lose, they can only attack the Chu army head-on.

"Defeat the Chu army and return my great Jin prestige!"

The shouts of the whole army shook the sky.

Seeing that the morale had recovered, Ji Liuyu immediately ordered the soldiers to leave only one day's dry food, and then quickly crossed Luoshui, cut off all roads in the rear, and fought with the Chu army against the water!

The army quickly formed a formation on the north bank of Luoshui, and everyone was in high spirits.

"Kill, you must not let Ji Liuyu or Zhao wear back to Jin!"

If Ao Ziyan gave an order, now the Jin Kingdom is unstable, although he supports Ji Liuyu to return to China to fight for the throne, it does not mean that he will raise a tiger for trouble, let him really succeed in the Jin Kingdom, what he wants is the chaos of the Jin Kingdom, and now Zhao Dun is chased and killed by the Jin Linggong, and the chaos of the Jin Kingdom has become a success.

Ji Liuyu raised the sword in his hand, he had long known that today's battle was a battle of life and death between him and Ruo Ao Ziyan, and if Ao Ziyan would not let him return to China, and as a Jin person, he would never allow such a strong enemy as Ruo Ao Ziyan to survive in the world.

"In this battle, either you die or I live!"

"The Jin Kingdom will not be defeated!"
