Chapter 256: Escape
"Is Xiahou Yuan Xiahou Ying's father? I guess he is also a groom, what deeds can he have? Lu Matong guessed.
In short, Xiahou Yuan was driven down from the mountain by a man surnamed Huang and had his head cut off. Today, these two people are already tired, and when our army repairs for a while, we can kill them in this way! Li Xin looked at the mountain and said.
"Two? In other words, the lower officials also have to do it? Lu Matong exclaimed.
"How?"
Lu Matong looked at the pony he had just taken, and was slightly embarrassed, "The horse of Bashu is short, but it is suitable for mountain combat." The head of Bashu doesn't look smart, but... The one who followed next to him seemed to be difficult to deal with. If not, Commander Li dealt with the deputy general, and the subordinate killed the main general. ”
"Hahaha, the king said that when he killed Xiahou Yuan, the one surnamed Huang was sixty or seventy years old, Xiahou Yuan was in the prime of life, and he had the nickname of 'White Land Leader' and 'Thousands of Miles Running'. Commander Lu is young and promising, so he should be stronger than that old man Huang, right? Li Xin said with a smile.
"That being said..."
Lu Matong caught a glimpse of Guo Meng under the mountain, and always felt that he was not an opponent. The Qin army had no cavalry on this trip, and when they arrived at Zitong, Li Xin found a pony to use as a mount, and Lu Matong was worried that Li Xin might not be familiar with the habits of the pony.
The two of them went deep alone, and if they couldn't win a single blow, they would be surrounded by the Bashu army. The act of decapitation instead turned into being beheaded.
"Hesitation is not the Commander's doing, when the Commander withdraws, but pretending to panic, presumably they have been careless, and they will win with one blow when they seize the opportunity! The success or failure of more than ten days is in one fell swoop! ”
The most critical battle was in his own hands, and Li Xin was particularly excited.
"Xiaguan..."
The two of them under the mountain were full of murderous spirit, and Lu Matong began to panic unconsciously, wiping cold sweat.
"The Commander should not hesitate." Li Xin said with a smile, "If this battle is won, Commander Lu will definitely be famous all over the world, and when the time comes, Brother Ling, Ling Zun will be able to look at Commander Lu differently..."
"Father and brother? ...”
Lu Matong suddenly thought of Lu Chen, Lu Qing, who was really in a position in Chu.
I haven't seen him for many years, I'm afraid that his family has already died in Qindi for him, and they may not be worried about him in their hearts.
He desperately needs a great achievement!
"Kill!!" Lu Matong shouted.
Without waiting for Li Xin's order, Lu Matong held a Mo knife in his hand, stepped on the brown pony and rushed straight down the mountain.
"Hey, you'll have to wait for the Commander to rest, okay? What's in the hurry?! ”
"Commander Li, don't panic, these two people are handed over to the lower officials!" Lu Ma Tong didn't reply.
Li Xin didn't care about putting on his armor again, picked up the Mo knife, and followed Lu Matong.
The pony is anxious to run in the mountains, and Lu Matong takes off his armor and is good at controlling the horse, and rushes to the front of the Bashu array like an arrow.
"Commander Zhou, divide the troops to surround the mountain for the moment of the law. Occupy Zitong to recruit troops, re-defend the Golden Bull Road and then cut off the support of the Qin army, and within a month, the rebellion of the Qin army will be broken! Guo Meng reminded.
"Linjiang has not yet been decided, and the child is in Chengdu, so it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no changes, and it must be resolved quickly!" Zhou Zao refused.
"Gong Ao is dead, Madame's generals will be able to resist Wang Ling and Gong Wei, why should Commander Zhou be anxious?!"
In the midst of the quarrel, a wind whistled by.
"Guo Meng, be careful!" Zhou Zao shouted.
Guo Meng turned back suddenly, his face was full of murderous energy, and Lu Matong, who had a resolute look in his eyes, was within five steps of Guo Meng with his Mo knife held high.
Guo Meng was trying to dodge, but found that his body was sore and his body was weak.
Next, the long and sharp blade of the Mo knife has reached Guo Meng's chin!
Hmmm-
Guo Meng lowered his head and turned his head to dodge the blow, but found that the left side of his face was cold, followed by a hot pain. Half of his face with his chin attached has been shaved off by Lu Matong.
"Ah——!h
Guo Meng wailed and fell off his horse, and the Bashu soldiers around him were about to raise their halberds to counterattack, and when they saw Lu Matong's fierce face, they couldn't help but retreat again and again.
"Damn, you still dare to sneak attack?!"
Zhou Zao was about to cross his horse and attack Lu Matong, but Li Xin on the hillside was approaching him.
Li Xin's equestrian skills were a little slow, and the two were entangled together, but the halberd was not as long as the Mo knife, and Li Xin had rested for a while, and Zhou Zao was inferior to someone who was nearly fifty years old.
"Ahh There are only two of them, what are you afraid of?! Zhou Zao shouted with difficulty, holding halberds in both hands to resist Li Xin's slashing.
The panicked Bashu soldiers were about to surround Li Xin, but Lu Matong raised his sword and fell, cut off Guo Meng's head and threw it in front of the army.
"This commander wants to see who dares to move?!" Lu Matong shouted.
said that it was a head, but it was indeed half of Guo Menglian's head with his shoulders.
The head rotated, and Guo Meng's distorted face was facing the Bashu army.
Taking advantage of everyone's hesitation, Lu Matong threw a Mo knife through Zhou Zao's chest.
"Hmm-"
Zhou Zao vomited blood from his mouth, he couldn't breathe, and the halberd fell weakly.
Li Xin took advantage of the situation to swing the Mo knife, cut off his head, and blood splattered out of his neck.
The two heads, which looked at each other well before their deaths, rolled down together.
The fierce battle only happened for a moment, and tens of thousands of Bashu troops were left without owners for a while.
A moment later, the Qin soldiers, who had re-armored them, rushed down the foot of the mountain.
"The battlefield is changing rapidly, and this commander will not blame you. At this moment, Lu Ze has no army by his side, and he has become a lonely person, whether you are going to Lu or Qin... Don't make the wrong choice. Li Xin looked at the helpless crowd and said.
The Bashu army did not expect things to change to the point where they are now, and after thinking about it slightly, they also knew that they could live by surrendering to Qin, and they still needed to fight again, and even if they could win, they would end up losing both.
"I... I'm waiting to take refuge in Daqin! ”
"Just... We were bewitched by Guo Meng..."
"As long as the Qin army doesn't burn and loot, we are willing to surrender."
All the soldiers of Bashu put down their blades and knelt on the ground.
Li Xin smiled secretly, when Great Qin attacked the Six Kingdoms, in order to annihilate the enemy's living force, it was indeed slaughtered after the war, but it was never the case with Bashu. The Bashu people who have lived in their hometown for a long time can know this, it should be Lu Ze who told them.
"Rest assured, the King of Qin's trip is specially for the King of Bashu to be seized by the Lu clan, and after killing Lu Ze, the Qin soldiers will welcome back the King of Bashu." Li Xin said, "Do you know where the King of Bashu is now?" ”
The Bashu army looked at each other, and the group was not from Micang Road, and they had never seen Liu Bang.
"You don't know? So... The king had to defend Bashu and wait for the king of Bashu to appear. "Li Xin pretended to make a mistake.
"The king will not let you fight and kill, after destroying Lu Ze, you can remove the armor and cultivate with peace of mind." Lu Matong echoed, both surnamed Lu, which is a little weird to say.
The Bashu soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then they were overjoyed.
"Thank you, Commander Li, Zhou Lu... Lu Ze should be in Baoning in the east of Zitong at this moment. Angry and injured, I will definitely be captured alive if I go at this moment! ”
"Commander Li, let's go to Boryeong quickly!" Lu Matong was eager to make meritorious contributions, and pulled out the Mo knife on the headless corpse and said urgently.
Lu Ze narrowed his eyes lightly and asked cautiously, "Is there a famous general guarding Lu Ze by his side?" ”
"There are no famous generals, but that person is very favored by Cao Shen, called... Baby-filling. is a leader of the cavalry, this time he attacked Linjiang, did not bring cavalry, he only followed Lu Ze as a lieutenant general. A Bashu soldier said.
"Baby?!"
Li Xinwei felt bad, and when he was training, Ziying had mentioned the famous generals in Liu Bang's camp. Ziying originally thought that the baby had not been reused, and wanted to capture Bashu and then recruit it, but now Lu Ze took the lead.
"The generals are not inferior to Zhou Bo... The strategy is no less than Cao Shen. If the war is like this, I'm afraid he will escape with Lu Ze early! Li Xin was a little uneasy, "Commander Lu quickly took the Qin soldiers to Baoning, be sure to stop the two!" ”
"No!"
......
Two days later, outside the city of Fuling.
In the river boat, Lu Ze, who was dressed in disguise and coarse linen, and Guan Ying were going down the river.
Lu Ze's face was still yellow, and he squinted and asked, "How did Guan Langzhong know that Zhou Zao was going to be defeated?" How could the Bashu army's hometown fight not be the opponent of the Qin soldiers? ”
Guan Ying's face was indifferent, and he shook the oar quietly, "Zhou Zao is impetuous, and he is eager to make meritorious contributions, and he will suppress Commander Guo, and even act recklessly against Commander Guo." If the opponent is not Li Xin, but Sima Xin and others, they can fight. ”
"Hehe... The Bush Rider will just say he's a piece of shit. Lu Zeqiang smiled and suddenly sighed, "The elite soldiers are going to be left to Mrs., Zhou Zao is the most dedicated to Benhou among Liu Bang's old ministers, so I will bring him back..."
"Master Hou doesn't have to be anxious, maybe the minister guessed wrong. But if Zhou Zao was defeated, Hou Ye withdrew in time. If Zhou Zao succeeds, the child in Chengdu will be powerless to resist, and there is no need for Hou Ye to stay in Bashu anymore. Irrigated the baby and explained.
"That's fine." Lu Ze nodded slowly, "I hope Zhou Zao doesn't make a mess." ”
Suddenly, a pony rushed on the south bank of the river. The two of them looked at each other, and immediately that person turned out to be a Qin State battle suit!
"Hahaha." Lu Ze couldn't help but smile bitterly, "It's all chased here, Guan Langzhong really guessed it." ”
Lu Matong had never seen Lu Ze's appearance, but during the war, the two people met and walked towards the river, and they suddenly felt strange.
"Lu Ze! Disembark quickly and surrender, the king will spare you from death! The tired Lu Matong shouted.
"Master Hou, don't worry." Guan Ying hurriedly said, "The passing ships have been destroyed by the ministers, and there is nothing to be done to let the Qin generals shout!" ”
Ben Hou didn't panic, but he just thought that more than ten days ago, hundreds of boats crossed the river and went straight to Linjiang, how spectacular it was... Now it's like this, I can't help but sigh..."Lu Ze sighed.
"This...", the baby didn't know how to be relieved for a while.
"Hahaha." Lu Ze suddenly smiled, "It's okay, it's okay... This lofty mountain, Ben Hou has long been tired of seeing it. Although Nanjun is small, its richness is not inferior to that of Bashu. All the princes know that Nanjun is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they will not move the idea of raising troops, and the sister can also get rid of the name of Mrs. Bashu, contact Hengshan, and then do a big thing... How do you know if it's a blessing? ”
Guan Ying admired Lu Ze's open-mindedness for a while.
"Sitting in the same boat with the ministers, listening to the horn of the enemy's incompetence, tsk... It's inevitable that there will be a wonderful thing in the world~"
Lu Ze closed his eyes, put his hands behind his head, and lay in the boat.
"General Qin's guess is right, this Hou is Lu Ze! If the Qin State can't keep the commander, he can come to Nanjun, and the commander will definitely treat him well! Lu Ze shouted with a smile.
"Only one step away, alas!" Lu Matong glared and clenched his fists, but he had to watch Lu Ze go downstream.
The Qin soldiers, who were riding on a short horse behind him, gasped and said, "Commander Lu beheaded the famous generals of Bashu, which is also a great achievement... It doesn't matter if you don't take Lu Ze. ”
Lu Matong didn't answer, thinking secretly.
"Lu Ze didn't catch it, so he could only replace Liu Bang... But what is Liu Bang doing now? ”
"Maybe like Lu Ze, he fled to another place, right?" Qin Bing said casually.
Lu Matong, who has always been stupid, became more and more wise at this moment, and a fine light flashed in his eyes.
"Under the river is Linjiang Country, and Liu Bangding will not pass from here. Liu Bang will either go north to attack Qin, or..."
Southeast of Bashu, Chishui, a branch of Lushui.
Liu Bangkou held the dead branches and swayed the oars with Lu Juan beside him.
"Liu Ji, don't cry with a sad face. Jin Qiang died for you, if you have the heart, he will rise again to avenge him and make a name for him. Lu Juan said.
"Who wept and mourned?" Liu Bang looked at Lu Juan on the right side, "Lao Tzu is thinking about Cao's family, thinking about Liu Fei." Lu Pheasant's slut attacked Linjiang, but he lost Bashu, and it was too late for Lao Tzu to be proud. ”
"If you want to say that you old boy also has a big heart, you ran back to Hanzhong from the meridian road, ran back to Bashu, and didn't come to Lushui directly, but went to Jiangyoushu to find me?!" Lu Juan was a little afraid, "If you see it from Ziying and Lu Ze, you will die!" ”
"I don't have any money on me!" Liu Bang said unhappily, "I begged all the way through Hanzhong, if I don't look for you, will I starve to death on the way?" Without spending money, can the boatman give money to Lao Tzu? ”
After three years of campaigning and attacking Xianyang, Liu Bang never thought that there would be a time to ask for food.
"Back to Chudi, what are you going to do after taking the Cao family and Liu Fei?" Lu Juan sighed secretly and asked, "Xiang Yu is annoying you, Chu Di has stayed for a long time, Shenyang is a variable, Hengshan is also not idle, Zhao Guo, Yan Guo... No matter how you go, you are a minister, and it is impossible to be a king. ”
"Who said Lao Tzu was going back to Chudi? See Cao's for this picture? Liu Bang refuted, "In addition to the princes, there are still a few places in Kyushu that have not been crowned kings, and Lao Tzu has a lot to do." ”
"Southeastern... Nothing? Zou Shao? You might as well go to Hengshan. Lu Qian pondered.
"Pig brains?" Liu Bang was slightly angry, "Lao Tzu asked you, where can you go from Bashu to Chishui?!" ”
Lu Juan frowned slightly, "Yes!" ... Whence? ”
"Yerou!" Liu Bang is angry, if he doesn't take care of him on weekdays, Lu Juan may not be able to find an official position.
"Oh..."
Lu Qian remembered that the country with a weak reputation was founded by Yelang as early as a hundred years ago, but the world did not know the year of Yelang's founding.
King Xiang of Chu also sent troops to attack Yelang, and King Yelang surrendered and returned to the state of Chu.
Qin conquered the Six Kingdoms, and Yelang also returned to Qin.
"The world has been in turmoil for a long time, but I don't know what Yelang looks like now?" Lu Juan touched his chin and said.
"Paddle well, don't be lazy!" Liu Bang shouted, "That place is very poor, and even if it is re-established, it will be a weak country." Without the help of widows, they would not be able to achieve much climate. But... If the widow helps them to strengthen the country, the monarch will give the throne differently! ”
"It's a way to go. But don't you want to unite Hengshan in the future? At that time, I was afraid that Hengshan and the Lu family were already of the same mind, how to make it bigger? Lu Qian was puzzled.
"Hehe... You really don't know about children. He can attack Bashu in danger, and he can attack Nanjun in the future. Liu Bang said with a smile, "As long as there is a mess, Lao Tzu has soldiers in his hands, and if he takes the opportunity not to prepare Nanjun, it may not be anyone's." ”
"Then you still need allies." Lu Wan made a mistake, "All countries are fighting, and the surviving countries will only get stronger and stronger." ”
Liu Bang angrily took out the map on his chest and opened it to the boat, "Open your eyes and see!" Yelang is Linjiang in the north, Hengshan, who is in the south?! ”
"It's... South Vietnam?! Lu Juan smiled unconsciously, "That's the former Qin Chen, the Qin State has been restored, they will help you?!" I'm afraid I can't wait to pay tribute tomorrow. ”
"They will definitely oppose Qin, and anyone who is an enemy of Ziying will be his ally."
Liu Bang silently put away the map, too lazy to explain.
Zhao Tuo, the general of the Qin Dynasty in South Vietnam, closed the mountains and rivers as early as when the world cut down Qin, although he was hiding from the chaos of the world on the surface, but the intention of self-reliance was difficult to hide.
Liu Bang was sure that even if Ziying sent an envoy to South Vietnam, the two Qin generals might not be of the same mind to Qin.
Lu Juan nodded in disbelief, "If Ziying wins Bashu, he can go down the river and then attack Nanjun, if he wins again, the Qin forces will go south, I'm afraid you won't have time to strengthen the country." ”
"Absolutely impossible!" Liu Bang said, "He attacked Bashu, and he claimed to the outside world that he was helping Lao Tzu expel the sluts, and he needed fame." The sluts have fled to Linjiang, what reason does he want to attack again? Conquer Qindi? Does he dare to use this reason? ”
"The child is very treacherous, what if there is an excuse?" Lu Xuan was uneasy.
"That's... Even so, unless Lu Pheasant is as old and confused as Gongao, Nanjun can't beat it! Liu Bang shouted, "This time Ziying took advantage of the disagreement between the courtiers, and he won't encounter this kind of good opportunity a second time." ”
The water was gradually turbulent, Liu Bang did not dare to be distracted, and shook the oars seriously, looking ahead.
After a while, Lu Wan, who was seriously rocking the oars, suddenly noticed that something was wrong...
"Liu Ji, why did you take me with you when you arrived in the land of Yelang?" Lu Juan frowned and asked, "Poor mountains and bad waters, a place that the princes hate, you can really pit the old brothers?!" ”
"Ahh If your identity is not good, Ziying will kill you, and Lu Pheasant will not let you go. It's for your safety...", Liu Bangyu lied.
Although Liu Bang has a plan and a heart, he can't be sure what the future of this trip will be.
"Fart, can't Lao Tzu go back to Chudi?!" Lu Wan chirped.
"Oh, you have no officials, no power, no money, and you are embarrassed to go home? I'm in my fifties, I'm young, and I'm going to give it another try. Liu Bang explained.
"Money isn't used to buy people who watch you!" Lu Juan was still a little distressed when he thought about it, it was the gold he had worked so hard to stole.
"The widow knows in his heart, and he will not treat you badly in the future."
"Ask for a lot of money!"
"Is it okay for you to mint money?"
"Undecided!"
Liu Bang replied with a smile, for the sake of big things, he could only agree first.
"Ying Ziying, Lu Pheasant! What I lost from you, I want to get it back with my own hands!! Liu Bang shouted in his heart.
"Ahh
Chengdu City, the former Bashu Palace, was treated by Zhao Ji for two days, and the baby sneezed inexplicably.
"Which bastard is talking behind his back?"
"Maybe it's the 400,000 soldiers who died in Changping, or maybe it's the unjust souls who died in the hands of the Qin people in this battle!"
