Chapter 696: You can only retreat
Zhao Yuanzheng listened to the conversation between these two people, and his heart was full of sorrow.
Zhao Yuanzheng knelt on the ground, the expression on his face was full of despair, Qin Zhao let out a long sigh when he saw this situation, originally he had already guessed a few points in his heart, he guessed that in the heart of the Queen Mother, there was nothing more valuable than power, so he also estimated that the Queen Mother would not choose Zhao Yuanzheng.
But when this happened, when he saw Guan Tongshu's neck with a knife on his neck, his body couldn't stop trembling, Guan Tongshu and him looked at each other from a distance of hundreds of meters, Guan Tongshu's eyes were full of tears, he saw Guan Tongshu shaking his head at him, telling him not to care about her, but how could he do such a thing?
"What are you still thinking about Qin Zhao, if you want to defeat me, you can come up directly and end me, of course, your beloved woman, and your two children will also end up like me, if you still want them to live, today you will retreat first, three days later, we will fight on the plains!"
The Queen Mother finally said her request at this time, Qin Zhao heard this, still pursed his lips tightly, his face remained silent, he looked at Guan Tongshu desperately trying to struggle at this time, it was like a knife stabbing his heart, Qin Zhao glanced up, there are only a few thousand people around the Queen Mother now, and they are now better than the Queen Mother in terms of numbers, this battle, if you want to fight, it is also very likely to win, and you can even catch the Queen Mother, but Guan Tongshu and the two children are destined to encounter accidents.
Such a thing, how could it happen, Qin Zhao glanced up at the sky painfully at this time, and then took the lead in turning the horse's head and retreating, Lord Huang and Taiwei Li next to him also understood when they saw this situation, the emperor's choice was to compromise with this old witch, and he really didn't expect this step.
Lord Huang can look at each other, sigh and know that now in the emperor's heart, the safety of the queen mother is the most important, for them, they can't make such a decision, they can only retreat first, three days later, the plain battle, must give this old witch a good look at the color.
Qin Zhao rode a horse and left first, Lord Huang and Mrs. Li could only command the soldiers below to retreat in an orderly manner at this time, watching Qin Zhao retreat with the soldiers, the Queen Mother did not dare to move, the knife in her hand was tightly pressed against Guan Tongshu's throat, watching the people in front of her retreat little by little in the past few days, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the knife finally fell.
Guan Tongshu was full of tears at this time, she didn't want to see Qin Zhao choose to retreat for her.
"Queen Mother, let's retreat first now!"
Seeing this, the adjutant general next to him breathed a sigh of relief and said to the Queen Mother.
The queen mother's body was already frozen, and the whole person was numb, so she nodded, and instantly sat down on the ground, Guan Tongshu saw the queen mother viciously at this time.
——
Qin Zhao returned to the army and sat down at the table, but he was silent, there was a glass of wine on the table, the wine was fragrant, Qin Zhao drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and poured himself another glass, his face was full of sadness.
After Lord Huang and Taiwei Li explained their subordinates, they also entered the tent, and seeing Qin Zhao's calm face at this time, they were helpless in their hearts, and they could only let out a long sigh.
Today's form is extremely advantageous for them, but they never expected that the queen mother would bring out the queen mother and the two children, which is undoubtedly directly between the throat of the emperor, for the emperor, the queen mother and the two children, isn't it the most important thing for him?
"Your Majesty, don't blame yourself for today's matter, no one thought that the Queen Mother would come out with the Queen Mother, nor did she expect that the Queen Mother, the old witch, was really ruthless enough, this Zhao Yuanzheng helped her so much, she was able to see death so much, she was really a vicious person!"
Lord Huang drank it all at once, and then talked to Qin Zhao.
Qin Zhao heard this, but he didn't say anything.
"In fact, in this situation, I expected such a situation, and it is impossible for the queen mother, an old witch, to give up her power."
Qin Zhao took a breath and said helplessly, Lord Huang and Taiwei Li didn't know what to say after hearing this, but the battle on the plain after three days was a key battle, and it might be a battle to win or lose at that time.
"Three days later, we also have to prepare, now the grain and grass are very scarce, whether it can support until three days later is still a question, even if it can barely support three days later, but this battle can't end all at once, so we have to find a way to fill our granary."
Lord Huang spoke again, and said the key issue of grain and grass, Qin Zhao frowned, he looked through the accounts, Lord Song has been raising grain and grass for them everywhere these days, but what he has raised back is only a little bit, which is not enough for the expenses of a meal for these soldiers.
Qin Zhao was also aware of this problem in his heart at this time, if it was not solved, the battle between them and the Queen Mother would only be defeated without a fight, they would not be able to withstand consumption, but the Queen Mother had so much grain and grass in her hands, Qin Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly, and had another idea in his heart.
"Your Majesty, Lord Huang Taiwei Li, Zhao Yuanzheng outside said that he wanted to see the emperor!"
At this moment, a soldier outside ran in and knelt in front of him, hearing this, Zhao Yuanzheng came just right, even if Zhao Yuanzheng didn't come to see him today, he would go to Zhao Yuanzheng to talk to him.
"Hurry up and let her in, Lord Huang, Mrs. Li, you two go back first, and when I have a decision, I will discuss with the two adults."
Qin Zhao opened his mouth and said, Lord Huang and Taiwei Li glanced at each other, and could only nod, a little curious in his heart, looking at the emperor's silent appearance, it seemed that he had already made some decisions in his heart, the emperor always did things very decisively, but he rarely consulted with them before making a decision, and he would tell them after making a decision.
However, for the emperor, they have always been very trusting, the two nodded and left the account soon, Zhao Yuanzheng was pushed in, as soon as Zhao Yuanzheng came in, he was kicked to the ground by the soldiers behind him, and was forced to kneel, Qin Zhao frowned slightly when he saw this situation, and waved his hand to signal the guards next to him to go out first.
Qin Zhao was silent at this time, didn't say anything, just scalded the cup that Lord Huang and Taiwei Li drank just now with boiling water, and then put it on the coffee table, and built a new pot of tea, without saying a word between the whole movements, it looked confusing.
