Narrow tent, cold wind, a generation of famous general Zhao Mu, when he was dying, there was no one by his side, the general, accompanied by the body of his former friend Zilan, two heroes who have been proud of the world for decades, entangled friends for a lifetime, and left this world on the same day.

Among the retreating Zhao army, there were two more coffins, adding countless tragic colors.

When the infantry arrived at the horsehair ridge, the back of the Zhao army leaving was still faintly visible, standing at the peak of the horsehair ridge, looking at the coffin on the carriage in the Zhao army that retreated in the distance, the infantry shook their heads gently, the Zhao country is weak, from today on.

Under Xiling City, Zhao Xilie found Hou Xiyi.

"We've got to go." Zhao Xilie said in a low voice: "The matter of Ma'anshan is already over, and now the news is still being blocked, but it won't be long before the people of Daijun will know that Zilan has happened, and their anger is not something we can bear now." ”

"How do we get there?" Hou Xiyi smiled bitterly, "The Daijun soldiers are blocking our retreat unless we can put on our wings and fly over. ”

"Father has reached an agreement with the Eastern Army, we can lead 3,000 people to get out, the Eastern Army will get out of the way, and the rest of the people will not care." Zhao Xilie shook his head and said.

"Only three thousand?" Hou Xiyi exclaimed: "Here, there are more than 30,000 soldiers!" ”

"Three thousand men is already the greatest achievement that my father can achieve, Xiyi, you also understand, we have no food and grass, and the soldiers are so hungry that they don't even have the strength to pick up their weapons, gather three thousand of the most elite soldiers, and claim to the others that we will open a passage for them to make a last stand, and they will believe it." Zhao Xilie sighed: "Only these three thousand people can be saved. Go down and make arrangements, and we'll leave with our army today. ”

Hou Xiyi was silent for a moment and swallowed with difficulty. "Xilie, you go, I'll stay."

Zhao Xilie was shocked: "Xiyi, what are you talking about, we are best friends, and you are also one of the most trusted people by your father, otherwise your father would not let you participate in such a confidential matter, don't you know what the consequences of staying?" Zilan is dead, even the body has been taken away by her father, you stay. It can only be a dead end. The Daijun people may not kill those ordinary soldiers, but they will never let you go. ”

"Lord Zhao is gone, you are the general of the Left Route Army is also gone, if I, the general of the Right Route Army, are also gone, how can the other generals not know that there are ghosts in it? If there is really a disturbance, no one will be able to leave. I will stay and stabilize the situation for you, so that you can retreat with these three thousand men. Hou Xiyi said.

"Xiyi!" Where did Zhao Xilie stay.

"My family is small, so I'll leave it to you." Hou Xiyi laughed miserably: "This time we sent troops to defeat. Even if Lord Zhao brings back Zilan's body, he is afraid that he will still be responsible for this matter, and he will not be idle in a short time, and the life of us generals will not be any better. I only hope. When Lord Zhao recovers, I can take good care of my family and don't let them suffer, and I will be worth it. ”

Zhao Xilie held Hou Xiyi's hand. "Do you really want to do this?"

"I've decided!" Hou Xiyi took a deep breath, "There must be someone left." This person can only be me. ”

After a moment of silence, Zhao Xilie nodded silently, "Okay, I promise you, after you go back, I will definitely take good care of your family and will not let them suffer." ”

"Thank you!"

"I'm the one who says thank you." Zhao Xilie shook his head and said.

When he was young, Zhao Xilie led three thousand elites and quietly left the camp, and Hou Xiyi, who stayed behind, watched them leave with dozens of generals.

At noon, the head of Xiling City, which had been silent for many days, suddenly sounded like thunderous war drums, in the sound of war drums, a white flag was raised on the head of the city, the city gate was wide open, and an army drove out of the city, these troops, there were Dai County soldiers, there were Eastern Army, but more, it was a righteous and brave, they were angry and silently marched towards the Zhao army camp, two miles away from the Zhao camp, stopped, began to reorganize the team, and a ballista was pushed to the front of the battle.

Under the banner of the Chinese army, Zilan only left the rest of Zixi Zhao Yong's face was pale, although his body was wrapped in a heavy fur, but he still seemed to be intolerant of the cold, and his body was weakened like a skeleton, but he still tried his best to straighten up, and looked angrily at Zhao Ying not far away, the news had just come from Ma'anshan, Zhao Mu asked Zilan to meet in Ma'anshan, but secretly set up an ambush, and the 100 guards who went with Zilan and the 500 Zhengdong Army were almost all killed in Ma'anshan, and the infantry of the generals of the Zhengdong Army stationed in Hefeng fought back, although the enemy army was defeated, annihilated more than 2,000 enemies, but finally let Zhao Mu leave safely, and Zilan had already died, and even the body was taken away by Zhao Mu. The people of Daijun were angry, the entire Xiling City was boiling, and Zhao Mu had fled, but there were still 30,000 Zhao troops who were half starved to death under the city.

The army in Xiling City, the people Yong, and even the people, all clutched their weapons and walked out of the city gate, and it is said that the troops stationed in Hefeng, Jianli, and Nanzhang are also gathering here to kill these treacherous Zhao troops, and every Daijun person is thinking so in their hearts.

In the camp of the Zhao army, the generals ran to Hou Xiyi's big tent in panic.

"Daijun is going to attack, General Hou, what should I do?"

"Aren't you negotiating with the Daijun people, why are you suddenly about to attack?"

"Where is Lord Zhao?"

"Is it that General Zhao successfully broke through, but it caused the anger of the Daijun people?"

Everyone's eyes were on Hou Xiyi.

Hou Xiyi slowly stood up, "Everyone, at this time, there are some things I have to tell the truth, Lord Zhao, has already left the camp, at this time, or has already left Daijun, with him, there is also Taiwei Zhao, and Daijun Shou Zilan, however, Zilan should be dead at this time." ”

Hearing Hou Xiyi's words, there was an uproar in the tent, everyone was pale, Zilan died, the people of Daijun were crazy, they became outcasts, and everyone understood such a fact.

"General Hou, General Zhao Xilie didn't go to open a passage for us, but left us behind, didn't he?" A general asked in a trembling voice.

"Yes!" Hou Xiyi frankly admitted, "The grain and grass stored in the camp can only bear the breakthrough of these 3,000 people." ”

"So, did you abandon us?" One of the generals shouted angrily.

"Guo Zijing!" Hou Xiyi suddenly slapped the table and said angrily: "What do you mean that I abandoned you, these three thousand people will not leave." Will you accompany us to become a captive of the Daijun people? As an officer, you must be ready to sacrifice your life for the country at any time, and have the consciousness of becoming an outcast at any time, if you don't even understand this, you are not worthy of becoming a general of Da Zhao. ”

Guo Zijing was drunk by Hou Xilie, and suddenly lost all his momentum, looked at Hou Xiyi, and said in despair: "Could it be that we should die?" But I really don't think it's worth dying like this! ”

Hou Xiyi sat down slowly. "You won't die, even if someone wants to die, this person will only be me, now I will go out of the camp and ask the people of Daijun to surrender, you all go back to the headquarters, let all the soldiers lay down their weapons and line up in the camp!"

"Surrender?" All the generals exclaimed, Zhao Jun is the second most powerful country in the world. His army naturally has its own pride, which is also the fact that their entire army is extremely short of food, and they are all hungry and weak. But he still held on to the camp, and there was no reason for the collapse, and at this time, the word surrender came out of Hou Xiyi's mouth. These people in a desperate situation still find it difficult to accept.

Hou Xiyi raised his hand and waved, stopping the restlessness of the generals.

"The people of Daijun are also from the Zhao State, surrender to them. will not lose Zhao Jun's face, this battle, perhaps, should not have been fought. Hou Xiyi sighed, "Originally, they were all a family, surrendering to them, you can always save your life, or after he fights with the Qin people in the future, you still have a place to play." Let's all go, let the soldiers lay down their arms, lower their flags, and go out of the camp to line up. ”

The closed door of the Zhao army was wide open, Hou Xiyi held his helmet and walked out of the camp with his bare hands, in the camp, the fluttering Zhao army flag fell, and then, a group of soldiers walked out of the inside empty-handed, standing in line in front of the camp.

"What do they want to do? Do you want to surrender? Zhao Yong's pale face flushed, "Kill my father, and then surrender, in exchange for a life, is there such a cheap thing!" Kill, I'm going to kill them all. ”

He cried out angrily, and raised his hand high, about to give the order for the whole army to attack, but as soon as his hand was raised, it was already tightly grasped.

"The son is angry, and the killing of prisoners is ominous." Naha held Zhao Yong's hand, "They have already surrendered." ”

"Gongzi is angry, there are 30,000 people on the other side, although they are also enemies, but they are also Zhao people in the end." On Zhao Yong's other side, Pan Weidong, another member of the Daijun General who was in charge of Xiling's defense, also bowed down and persuaded him. "Childe, you can't kill it. Even if you want to kill, you can only get rid of the first evil. ”

"Cheaper for them like that?" Zhao Yong shouted angrily.

"Childe, Zhao Qi has escaped, if you want him to come next, he will definitely lead the army to come again, these 30,000 captives, when the time comes, it will also be the capital for us to fight against them, kill, except to arouse the anger of Zhao Jun, we will get nothing, but if we stay, maybe it will have some effect at that time!" Naha whispered. "Zilan Xianggong has gone, Daijun needs to be stable now, Gongzi, now the focus is not to kill these captives, but to quickly let all Daijun people know that Daijun still has a master."

"Shogun Naha is right!" Pan Weidong nodded vigorously, "Childe, Xianggong Zilan has left, now Qin Lei has 10,000 troops to sit in Nanzhang, and Feng Fayong has 20,000 of the most elite soldiers in Shannan County!" Although they are loyal to Zilan Xianggong, but Gongzi, you have always been uncontrollable, what do they think now, no one knows, Gongzi, it is a big deal for you to only take the throne immediately, these 30,000 captives, whether to kill or not, there is no point in killing or not. ”

"My father only has one son, do you mean that Qin Lei and Feng Fayong will have two hearts?" Zhao Yong asked directly.

"That's not what I meant." Pan Weidong hurriedly said.

Naba said: "Childe, what General Pan means is that Xianggong Zilan is gone, and those with ulterior motives will definitely try to get close to these two generals, such as Zhao Qi, and for example, the Qin general Wang Jian who has been confronting Feng Fayong outside Shannan County, so at this time, you must immediately assume the position of the county guard left by Xianggong Zilan, and then justifiably give orders to these generals who are outside." ”

"What if they are really two-minded and don't listen to my commands?" Zhao Yong became worried.

"Our Gaodu Governor of the Eastern Army is a good friend of Xianggong Zilan, and he will definitely stand firmly on your side and support you in your position, I have sent the situation here back to Pegasus, and I believe that the Eastern Expedition will definitely make some moves, so Gongzi, you can rest assured. No one can take Daijun away from you. Whoever dares to betray, we will have someone's head. Naha patted his chest. (To be continued......)
