In the early morning, the warm winter sun shone brightly, and the bloodshed of the entire camp finally came to an end, leaving only countless corpses to spread over the wilderness......

Shi Bao bowed his hand to Sima Shi and said happily: "General, last night's battle went very smoothly, our army lost thirty horsemen during the charge, but there were only a few minor injuries in the battle!"

The Qin army was beheaded ninety-three people, captured one hundred and twenty-six people, and nearly a thousand horses. The captives said that there were only 900 of them, and that they had already broken a quarter, and that they had also taken a lieutenant (Zhang Pod), and now they had all scattered and fled! ”

Sima Shi nodded, and looked sadly at the corpses of the Koreans in the distance: "It's a pity for these Korean people, how are their casualties?" ”

How could Shi Bao not know what kind of character his Sima Shi was, and would he be sad for the people who didn't know where?

But since Sima Shi asked, Shi Bao also hurriedly said with a regretful face: "The Qin army prisoners said that there are about 200,000 Koreans, but there were a lot of escapes last night, and we don't have many people.

As for how many are still there, the lower officials don't know, because last night we were killed by our two armies... The number of manslaughters is quite high. ”

Shi Bao's words were very subtle, last night their two armies were not killed by mistake, the Qin army rushed to flee for their lives, as long as none of the Koreans in front of them were spared.

And after the Wei army's surprise attack on the Qin army's victory, they did not let go of these Koreans, and even sporadic looting continued until dawn.

Sima Shi's face froze, and he immediately returned to normal, he understood that these soldiers under his command had always made a windfall by plundering, and this matter had started since the time of Cao Cao, and strict military discipline was only for his own people.

Sima Shi didn't pretend anymore, and directly ordered: "Okay, Zhong Rong, you go and count it first, and see if there are any Korean noble officials, or craftsmen and Confucians, pick them out and take them away." ”

Shi Bao asked, "General, what about this Han Land?" ”

Sima Shi shook his head: "If there are few people in Qin, we can't defend it, so we will retreat to Pingyang first, and then wait for reinforcements." If the reinforcements are not in time, we will also withdraw. ”

Shi Bao also felt that what Sima Shi said was very right, so he immediately hurried to count the statistics and prepare to transfer to Pingyang as soon as possible.

On the other side, the Zhao Gao brothers were leading a difficult march of more than 500 people.

Why is it hard? For of these five hundred men, there were less than a hundred horses, and many of them had a single garment on them. It seems that when they escaped from the camp last night, they only had time to grab one thing, and that was their lives.

Zhao Cheng, who was injured in many places on his body, was simply bandaged and reluctantly moved to Zhao Gao's side, and hesitated for a while before he spoke: "Brother, what should we do?" ”

Faced with his brother's problem, Zhao Gao did not express his high opinion as usual, because he was still mired in last night's defeat and could not extricate himself.

Zhao Gao not only did not respond to Zhao Cheng's question, but stared at him and said, "Zhao Cheng, do you know? This is the first time I have taken charge of an army alone, and I have failed, Your Majesty......"

Zhao Cheng angrily pulled the war horse: "Enough!" Brother, don't you understand why you failed? ”

Zhao Gao didn't expect his younger brother to dare to question him like this, so he was stunned and was silent for a while before speaking:

"I know that I am too impatient and will do whatever it takes to achieve results, but I really need merit, a big, big feat, because ...... Because Your Majesty wants to kill me! ”

The last few words, the voice was very small, but it seemed to exhaust the strength of Zhao Gao's whole body, and then his whole body collapsed on the horse......

Zhao Gao has always been humble and generous, very good at Taoguang and obscure, and calm when encountering problems, many people think that he is a loyal person.

But Zhao Cheng knew that his brother Great Wall Mansion was extremely deep, and he was definitely a model of comparison between the outside and the inside, but the way he was now, Zhao Cheng had to believe it.

Zhao Cheng looked at his brother like this, and his anger disappeared by half, and he opened his mouth to persuade: "Brother, now is the time to employ people, maybe Your Majesty will be extrajudicial and merciful."

Besides, Han Hou is still in our hands, this beheading is still Ying, and when we go back, we will beg Your Majesty, I really can't let me ......"

"Zhao Cheng, you don't understand, whoever His Majesty wants to die, no one can change. Forgive me for lying to you that you want to get ahead, but in fact I just want Your Majesty to think that I am useful and spare my life, but now it seems that I don't need to......"

Saying that, Zhao Gao suddenly pulled out his sword and was about to wipe it on his neck, so frightened that Zhao Cheng hurriedly hit Zhao Gao's hand with his body.

With a "clang", the sword fell to the ground.

Zhao Gao, who was interrupted to commit suicide, scolded: "Zhao Cheng, what are you doing here? Your Majesty wants me to die, and if I die happily, you will still be alive, and you will even be able to attack the lord! ”

Zhao Cheng choked back tears and was about to persuade, when he suddenly heard someone in front of him shouting: "Qianqi!" It's the banner of my Great Qin! ”

After hearing this, Zhao Cheng hurriedly put his hand on the canopy, looked ahead, and sure enough, he saw a huge Xuanniao flag on the horizon being "rising"!

Zhao Cheng shouted excitedly: "Brother, reinforcements!" Reinforcements have arrived! Your Majesty......"

But when he said the word His Majesty, Zhao Cheng was silent again, he really didn't know why His Majesty wanted his brother to die, obviously Zhao Gao had served him for so many years, and there had never been a mistake......

At this time, the banner had already "rushed" out of the horizon, and Zhao Cheng and his party finally saw the reinforcements they had been waiting for. It's just that when they saw the reinforcements with their own eyes, they were all disappointed......

The martial knight who was the first to shout almost reported to Zhao Cheng with a crying voice: "One, two, three...... Eleven, twelve! Five hundred lords, only twelve cavalry reinforcements! There are only twelve horsemen......"

Zhao Cheng and the others were almost desperate after hearing this, the reinforcements that were originally regarded as a life-saving straw only had only twelve horsemen, and they couldn't even compare to their group of routs......

When everyone was close to collapsing, only Zhao Gao was the only one in the entire team who looked up to the sky and shouted: "Hahaha! Twelve horsemen, Your Majesty, do you really think so much about Zhao Gao's death? ”

Zhao Cheng hurriedly stopped: "Brother! Be careful! ”

At this time, the banner and the twelve horsemen finally reached a short distance in front of the rout, but they did not continue to advance, but stopped where they were.

Suddenly, an immature voice came: "In front, there is a CRRC government order and a Fu Xi order, and Zhao Gao is a thousand horsemen?" ”

Zhao Gao pulled the reins with difficulty, moved forward a little, and thought desperately in his heart: "It seems that it is not reinforcements, it is the edict of His Majesty to execute me......

Even so, Zhao Gao decided to face it calmly, and then straightened his helmet and arched his hand: "Exactly!" ”

The one who announced the decree was a white-robed young general, he had actually seen Zhao Gao, but he really didn't dare to recognize Zhao Gao like this.

The white-robed young general looked at Zhao Gao a few more times, and then held his hands in vain: "Your Majesty Xuan's dictation, Zhao Gao defeated Han with less to win more, beheaded and captured all Ying, and went deep into the Han realm, and it is expected that there will be a big gain, so he will give the knight a first-class, Tian Yiqing, and Qin this." ”

Zhao Gao dismounted with difficulty and bowed deeply to the white-robed young general: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty for ten thousand years." However, the sin is high, the teacher is humiliated, and he does not dare to be rewarded! ”

The white-robed young general also jumped off his horse, stepped forward quickly to support Zhao Gao with both hands, and asked with concern: "Zhao Qianqi, what the hell is going on?" ”

As soon as Zhao Gao raised his head, he saw the appearance of the young general: white skin and high forehead, angular-edged face, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, heroic spirit, and the two temples bulged high, what a young hero!

Zhao Gao was taken aback: "Who is the little general?" General Xiao Wang, the first person in the younger generation of wisdom and bravery! ”

The white-robed young general shook his head and said modestly, "Oh, Lord Zhao knows me?" Don't dare to be, don't dare to be. Wang Li's ability is nothing but the credit of his grandfather and father......"

Zhao Gaoyi arched his hand: "General Xiao Wang is modest, no one in Daqin knows, the three generations of the Wang family are heroic and loyal, all of them are first-class handsome, especially General Wang, who is the soul of our army!" ”

Wang Li shook his head and said, "Eh, the boy is far away from his grandfather and father." Lord Zhao, tell me why you ended up in such a situation? ”

When Zhao Gao heard this, his face stiffened, and he sighed and said: "Maybe there is retribution, I first used a night attack to break the Han army, and then I was defeated by the Wei army's night attack......

Now that the results of the battle are almost lost, and hundreds of horses have been lost, and there is no shame to see Your Majesty, so this reward is never dared to be accepted.

Fortunately, Han Hou's family is still in our hands, and since General Wang has come to announce the decree, let's take them and my head back to dedicate it to Your Majesty......"

Wang Li shook his head and said, "Where is Zhao Qianqi!" Even if you have one, you have to go back to be judged by Qin Law, how can there be any reason to commit suicide before the battle? Moreover, I am not only here to announce the decree, but also to send reinforcements from His Majesty! ”

Zhao Gao retorted with a serious face: "Reinforcements? I'm afraid General Wang isn't teasing me? Although Zhao Gao was a general of the defeated army, he did not dare to speak bravely, and his ability to command the army did not dare to compare with the Wang family.

But he also knows that knowing each other and knowing his confidant will win all battles. Now that our army is newly defeated, morale is low, military aircraft and ordnance are lost, and the Wei army does not know the number of them, General Wang only brought twelve horsemen to help, how to fight? ”

Wang Li looked at Zhao Gao, straightened up, and shouted confidently: "Who said I only have twelve horsemen?" To tell you the truth, all twelve of us carry the artifacts given by His Majesty.

With this artifact, everyone is enough to fight one against hundreds, one against hundreds! I'm waiting for twelve horsemen to be a team of 10,000 people! ”
