Chapter 15: The Pursuit
Cheng Jiao Yongding was forcibly recaptured by Ying Zheng and others, Fan Yu immediately noticed that something was wrong, and when Ying Zheng's rear army began to attack, Fan Yu was the governor of the situation and retreated. The butcher took advantage of the situation to cover up the killing, and Cheng Jiao's whole army was defeated and retreated.
Fan Yuzhi returned to the army and saw that Cheng Jiao was still standing in place, and urged: "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and retreat!" β
Cheng Jiao lost his soul and muttered to himself: "That's my ding, you can't take it..."
"It's not impossible to go back to the fiefdom to gather the troops first, there is only one way to die if you stay here, and you still have to worry about what you don't know if your life is gone!"
Fan Yu couldn't help but say that he would become a Jiaojiao and leave!
Fortunately, when the two of them entered the army, there was a way back, and Fan Yuzhi did not stop until he retreated to Bashang, and there were less than 5,000 men left in the inventory, which can be described as a big defeat and loss.
The army of the prince of Qin pursued to Ba Shang and faced Cheng Jiao across the city. The rear army had already dispersed to pursue the remnants, and the offensive force was not caught, and both sides of the battle were exhausted and repaired separately for half a day.
Time is on the side of Yingzheng, Lantian must pass through Xianyang when he turns around, and when the time comes, the remnants of the two armies will be defeated by Chengjiao!
Fan Yuqi discussed the future with Cheng Jiao, but Cheng Jiao had not yet recovered from the failure.
Jiuding was seized into Jiaolingtai and destroyed. The road to becoming a king is cut off before the road of cultivation is broken, and Chengjiao's heart is like ashes!
Fan Yuzhi saw Cheng Jiao's sluggish appearance and regretted it and couldn't suppress his regret and scolded: "If you are frustrated, you will be depressed, I knew that you were such a person, how could I take risks with you?" Where's your backup? Don't you have someone to answer in Xianyang? What about people? Ah~"
After a lot of scolding, Cheng Jiao finally came back to his senses.
Fan Yuzhi's words touched Cheng Jiao, and Cheng Jiao's brain didn't all push it to Fan Yuqi's head, and scolded: "Can you blame me?" Obviously, you are incompetent and unable to break through the Chinese army and win the government, but you blame me! What a general is incompetent and exhausts the three armies! β
"I..."
Fan Yuzhi choked on his lips with a word, and the regret in his heart was even greater! Said: "Then what do you say?" β
"What else can I do? Once Wang Jian returns, we will definitely die, now take advantage of the Qin army's repair and run quickly! β
"Run?" Fan Yuzhi sneered and said, "Where can you run?" To the north, you can go to Feng Yi, although it is a three-way thoroughfare, what is the difference between it and a dead end?
To the north is the Xiongnu, and the Great Qin Dynasty fought with the dogs, and the hatred between them was deeper than the sea! You and I are both Qin people, how can you go to the land of Rongdi to have your whole body?
To the east is the Zhao State, although Qin Zhao is in the same vein as the ancestor, the fight is not less than Di Yi, and he is tormented when he arrives in the Zhao State! What's more, Wang Qian's army is between Qin and Zhao, and the clan's path is tantamount to throwing himself into a net!
To the southeast is Han Wei, the country of the twilight, the Qin army can be determined, where can we go? β
"It's a big deal to flee to Qi Chu again, the world is so big that we don't have a place to stay?"
They looked at each other and were speechless.
After a long time, Fan Yuqi said: "Then go to Wei first, Korea is already weak, but Wei is blocked by mountains and rivers, maybe there will be variables during the period!" I'll go and we'll go! β
"Go to Wei?"
"Nope! Go back to your fiefdom and pack up your belongings first! β
"Why?"
"How much better do you think we could be on our own than refugees? Of course, the subordinates are gathered first, and if you have wings abroad, you won't be bullied! β
Fan Yuzhi said half of the words.
Cheng Jiao is a real rebellion, King Qin will definitely not let him escape, if he continues to follow Cheng Jiao, I am afraid that even his name will be lost here!
bewitched Cheng Jiao to pack up his belongings, put on a negotiation posture with King Qin, and then took the opportunity to escape. When King Qin reacts, he can't catch up, this is the best policy!
Of course, the deeper meaning is to attract the Qin army with Cheng Jiao carrying heavy money!
I can't say that I need to borrow your neck on the way! Cheng Jiao thinks so!
Fan Yuzhi's mind Cheng Jiao didn't expect it, Ying Zheng didn't expect it, and even Wang Jian didn't expect it!
The reason why Wang Jian was late was not because he couldn't catch up, but because of Wei Zhe's suggestion!
Wei Zhe is a realm monk, and his speed is far beyond that of Tongji. After reporting to the king of Qin, he immediately rushed to Wang Qian's camp. The king of Qin was urgently summoned, and Wang Jian's heart was like fire, and he wanted to return the elite soldiers. Wei Zhe hurriedly stopped: "No! At that time, the soldier saint was in the world, and the ghost valley came out of the mountain. His disciple Pang Juan attacked Zhao, Sun Bin rescued Zhao by besieging Wei, and then set up an ambush on the way Pang Juan and died in the chaos of arrows! Now that you have rushed back, you are already exhausted when you arrive at Xianyang, and even if you arrive, you will not be able to participate in the battle. On the contrary, it is very likely to be ambushed by Cheng Jiao! β
Wang Jian thought so.
Wei Zhe said again: "Xianyang is the capital of the country, there are thousands of ministers inside, there are hundreds of thousands of ordinary people outside, the government decree can become an army of 100,000 in the future, Cheng Jiao is only 20,000 horses, and the army alone will not be able to win, so the general should consider how to keep Cheng Jiao and prevent him from fleeing to other countries!" β
Wang Jian thanked and said: "That's right! β
There are three ways to escape from Xianyang, counting the mountain road that leads to the Xiongnu, Zhao, Wei and Korea. As Fan Yuqi expected, Wang Jian did not think that Fan Yuqi and Cheng Jiao would flee to the Xiongnu and Zhao, and the remaining two roads were Han Wei. Wang Jian was divided into three routes for insurance. Block the Korean passage all the way, block the Wei passage all the way, and return all the way.
Although Wei Zhe expected that Yingzheng would win, he could not ignore it on the battlefield, even if there were not many people who returned to Xianyang, he could give King Qin confidence, and if the war was unfavorable, he could hold on a little longer!
As Wei Zhe expected, Cheng Jiao was defeated and retreated. When Fan Yuzhi decided to flee, he put a little thought into it, which made King Qin fooled!
Cheng Jiao is not far away in Chang'anjun's fiefdom, the two of them retreated here, and Cheng Jiao prepared everything in an hour.
Ying Zheng gathered the army and chased after him!
Cheng Jiao was originally the half-brother of King Qin, and he has always been generously given, and his fief is also a rich land. Therefore, a city wall was built at the place where the fiefdom Chengjiao Wangfu was located, and Chengjiao's county soldiers were waiting on the wall!
Before the battle, an arrow was shot from the city wall aimed directly at Yingzheng's army.
The soldier drew his arrow and found that it was a letter, and hurriedly handed it over to Yingzheng to read.
The book said: "The younger brother was terrified when he heard that the king had led the army to come, and he didn't know what the king had done. Can you ask the king to give Cheng Jiao a chance, Cheng Jiao is willing to prove his innocence with his life! β
Ying Zheng sneered after reading it, and said: "Is it a fool to be a widow?" It's stupid! What other words do you have to come quickly, for the sake of my brother, I promise you one thing! β
The head of the city shot another arrow, and said slightly: "Although I am defeated, it is undeniable that I am still the blood of Yingqin!" There is only one son still in his mother's womb, and it is impossible for him to participate in the rebellion, can the king spare his life for the sake of the blood connection? β
After reading it, Ying Zheng decided to agree to this request after a little thought. Although Cheng Jiao is guilty, but killing him is a brother and a brother, killing him will inevitably have a reputation for being unkind, and killing his young son will also be opposed by the courtiers.
What's more, Ying Zheng understands the true meaning of Cheng Jiao!
The two letters seem to be unrelated, but in fact, the first one gives a chance to prove one's innocence with one's life, which is to say: You can't kill me, if you agree to my request, I won't have to die by yourself without your hands. The second is the request!
Ying Zheng looked at Cheng Huan, although he didn't know where Cheng Jiao was, but he knew that he must be listening, so the sergeant shouted: "The widow promises you a promise and will never regret it!" β
After speaking, it is to march to attack the city, and the siege must be the first to climb, Yingzheng asked: "Who can go first?" β
The butcher shouted, "I'm coming!" β
Ying Zheng saw that it was Xianyang who stopped Fan Yuzhi's warrior again, and asked: "Who is your surname, tell me, after this battle, the widow will personally give you a reward!" β
The butcher was embarrassed and said, "People call me Xin, I don't know my name!" β
Ying Zheng said: "How can a warrior be nameless! My Great Qin ancestor was used for business, so I created a father and divided Qin Zhao. Since people call you Xin, you take it as your surname. As for the name, the widow will give you a word to win! May you live up to the expectations of the widows and start victorious! β
Xin Sheng bowed down and shouted: "Thank you for the gift of the king!" β
After three bows, he jumped up and shouted a thousand victories, bit his weapon and rushed towards the city!
The siege has begun!
