Chapter 689: Decision to Retreat

After catching this Zhao Yuanzheng, Qin Zhao knew very well that according to the character of the Queen Mother, he would never admit defeat until the last second, and now the person he relied on the most was in his own hands, and he would soon come to attack, although she did not have any talent in marching and fighting, but in terms of self-confidence, she was very sufficient, presumably the Queen Mother would definitely lead the troops in person.

Qin Zhao thought exactly so, so he took the thirty people below and quickly moved to another place with Zhao Yuanzheng.

Zhao Yuanzheng was firmly tied hands and feet, and now he couldn't move, although he said that he had also practiced martial arts when he walked the rivers and lakes, but he could see that Qin Zhao's kung fu was not clear, and he was probably not Qin Zhao's opponent, plus Qin Zhao was in the prime of life, and he was already a handful of years old and not as good as before.

He wanted to resist, but it was useless, he wanted to bite his tongue and kill himself but he couldn't even move his tongue, his mouth was stuffed with a ball of cloth, he couldn't even speak, Zhao Yuanzheng's heart was aggrieved, no matter what, he was so old than Qin Zhao, and there were a lot of other things in his heart that were not arrogant.

"Your Majesty, now that we have caught Zhao Yuanzheng, I believe that this time the Queen Mother must be in chaos, if the Queen Mother sends someone out to encircle and suppress us, I'm afraid it will not be as smooth as this time, they still have tens of thousands of people and horses in their hands, if the Queen Mother is angry and pours out, we are thirty people, no matter what, we can't fight against it, why don't we retreat first?"

Seeing this situation, Sun Yang suggested to Qin Zhao on the side, Qin Zhao really didn't say anything after hearing this, and the expression on his face was silent, but Sun Yang could see that Qin Zhao still didn't want to retreat now, after all, Guan Tongshu was still in the hands of the Queen Mother.

For the emperor, it seems that victory or defeat is not the most important thing, even his own life is far less than Guan Tongshu's smile, but in this situation, they have a chance of winning, the other party's marshal is in their own hands, and the queen mother does not dare to do anything to Guan Tongshu and the two children.

"That's right, what the emperor Sun Yang's guard said makes sense, we all know that you are eager to face the queen mother in your heart, but now we also have to focus on the overall situation, since the other party's marshals are already in our hands, presumably the old witch of the queen mother will not dare to do anything to the queen mother!"

At this time, even Chen Li said to Qin Zhao on the side, after hearing these words, the expression on Qin Zhao's face was even more entangled, Mystery is the most powerful assistant by his side, and he has always been the person who knows his mind the most, Chen Li also understands that he is worried about Guan Tongshu in his heart, so he has always insisted on stationing here.

But now he knows very well in his heart that Chen Li and Sun Yang's words are very reasonable, and if he continues to delay here, it will lead to greater danger, and now Zhao Yuanzheng is in their hands, and he can be regarded as having a handle of the Queen Mother, although in the heart of the Queen Mother, Zhao Yuanzheng is inevitably not as important as power.

But now the Queen Mother is in need of Zhao Yuanzheng, maybe in the Queen Mother's heart, she is still willing to take something in exchange, she took Zhao Yuanzheng to retreat to the north at this time, and joined the army, and there is no chance to save Guan Tongshu in the future.

But now, he thought that he was so close to the place where the Queen Mother's troops were stationed, and Guan Tongshu might only be a few miles away from him, but Guan Tongshu was suffering under the Queen Mother's hands, but he couldn't do anything to save her, as soon as he thought of this, Qin Zhao's heart felt uncomfortable, if he didn't think that he was the son of heaven, how could he even save his beloved woman when she was in danger.

"Sun Yang, Chen Li, what you said is very reasonable, I know that marching and fighting cannot be paid attention to the impulse of the moment, now that the queen mother and the two children are in the hands of the queen mother, the old witch, I really can't let go of my heart, but this time you are right, we will stay here overnight tonight, and tomorrow morning, we will go north and return to the barracks."

Qin Zhao's tone was a little heavy at this time, but he still made such a decision, and he thought in his heart, according to Guan Tongshu's statement, he had asked Lord Song to order a large amount of sweet potatoes from Pingnanguo as food supplies for the troops, and if he waited a little longer these days, it was estimated that he would be able to transport them to Jingbei.

After the food is sufficient, and then make a plan to continue the war for a long time, no matter how many troops the Queen Mother has, it can be consumed with it, but the food of the troops should be stretched thin in the next few days, and the local potatoes of Pingnan Country are estimated to arrive in about 10 days.

"The emperor is wise, the minister will go and order his subordinates, tomorrow morning, wait for the emperor's order, our troops will march north and gather with the large army, and then come back to besiege the queen mother, the old witch!"

After Sun Yang heard this, his face showed an excited look, Qin Zhao nodded lightly, looking at Sun Yang hurriedly turned around and couldn't explain, this anxious look, Qin Zhao had an uneasy feeling in his heart at this time, and put Guan Tongshu alone in the hands of the Queen Mother, his heart was full of guilt.

Qin Zhao didn't mention how remorseful he was at this time, watching Sun Yang leave, Chen Li heard Qin Zhao on the side, sighed silently, and understood in his heart, the emperor was still thinking about the queen, he naturally knew how good the relationship between Qin Zhao and Guan Tongshu was, and he also knew how helpless the emperor was in the heart of the queen mother now that she was in danger, but marching and fighting was definitely not a place that paid attention to children's affection.

"Your Majesty, this time it was the minister who did not do a good job of the things the emperor explained, please punish the emperor, if it weren't for the minister's negligence in guarding and letting the queen mother rob this horse and go north, she would not have encountered this danger."

Seeing this situation, Chen Li knelt on the ground and said to Qin Zhao sincerely, Qin Zhao was only stunned when he heard this, the expression on his face looked a little tired, and he reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth, how far-fetched this smile was, Chen Li's words he knew were from the heart, but how could Chen Li be blamed for such a thing?

"Chen Li, please hurry up, this person knows very well in his heart, the queen's personality has always been like this, but this time the matter is really true, no wonder, if you really want to find someone to blame, you can only blame me, you should have taken him to the north with you. The queen had been begging for help, hoping that I could take her back to the army with me, but I felt that it was inconvenient to march and fight, and a woman must be very unaccustomed to being in the army, and now I think it was really wrong. ”

Qin Zhao sighed helplessly while saying this, looking up at the sky, Chen Li looked at Qin Zhao's silent move, but his heart was extremely uncomfortable, that high-spirited Qin Zhao has now become so lonely because his beloved woman is in deep danger.

Chen Li's heart was full of self-blame, and he also made up his mind that he must find a chance to rescue the queen mother. Qin Zhao led the thirty of them north to return to the army this time, presumably to adjust the battle plan, and now Zhao Yuanzheng has at least one chip in their hands, but I don't know if this chip can be exchanged for this queen mother's old witch's change of heart.
