Chapter 64: Lian Po Comes
Pingyuan Jun led 40,000 soldiers and the people of Shangdang to evacuate to Changping. Deputy General Zhao Yu saw that he had walked for two days before he walked more than 20 miles, and said to Pingyuanjun: "Pingyuanjun, at this speed, we can't reach Changping in ten days." The state of Qin sent pursuers, and we will be overtaken. ”
Pingyuan Jun also knew that with such a marching speed, he would be caught up by the Qin army sooner or later, but the people of Shangdang were willing to follow him and leave their homeland, so how could they abandon him. Pingyuanjun said in a calm tone: "We are holding on for a while, and we will arrive in Changping soon." ”
At this time, a scout came to Pingyuanjun and cried sadly: "Pingyuanjun, the Shangdang has been lost. ”
Hearing this, Pingyuan-jun's body trembled, and asked, "How is Huayang-jun?" ”
"Huayang-kun, he has died fighting for the country."
"What." Pingyuanjun's tone was a little messy: "Huayangjun died fighting for the country. ”
The scout said again: "The Qin State broke through the Shangdang and sent chasing soldiers. In less than half a day's trip, you can catch up with Pingyuanjun. Please evacuate quickly. ”
Zhao Yu suddenly heard that the Qin State had sent chasing soldiers, and hurriedly said, "Please evacuate quickly." ”
Pingyuan Jun looked at the fleeing people and said, "If I leave, these people will be slaughtered by the Qin State." How can I leave them behind and flee alone? ”
One person hurriedly said: "Pingyuan-kun, I can't manage so much." They have become a burden to us, and if we carry them, we will be affected. ”
Another humanitarian: "As long as Pingyuan Jun returns to Changping, we will raise troops and kill them, and these people will be saved." Pingyuanjun doesn't leave, stay here, and wait for our end, there is only a dead end. ”
"I promised Huayangjun to bring these people back to Changping." Pingyuan Jun said: "If I abandon them and go, will I not lose my righteousness?" ”
The Marquis of Changzhi also knew that if he couldn't go far with the people, he would be caught up by the Qin army. Once they fought with the Qin army, they would not be able to control the people and the Plains King. If in the battle of the Qin army, Pingyuan Jun encounters an accident, how to explain to the king of Zhao and the army and people of Zhao State.
The Marquis of Changzhi persuaded: "Pingyuan Jun, you have exhausted your benevolence and righteousness. Today, the Qin army has chased after him. If Pingyuanjun doesn't leave, he won't be able to go. Please, Pingyuan-kun puts the overall situation first. ”
There were also a few generals who persuaded: "Please, Pingyuanjun puts the overall situation first." ”
"I don't know, what's the big picture. But, I know that these people are entrusted to me by Huayangjun. They also believed in me, so they followed me to Changping. How could I leave them behind for the sake of my life? Pingyuan Jun said with a firm attitude: "The people of the party must not be abandoned." If I forsake it, how will the world think of me? ”
Zhao Yu saw that Pingyuan Jun did not care about his personal safety and was unwilling to abandon the people, so he said anxiously: "The Qin army has already chased after us, how can we deal with it." ”
Another person said: "The king of the plains does not abandon the people, and disaster is not far away." ”
Pingyuan Jun also knew the combat strength of the Qin State, and if he was caught up by the Qin army, he and the people would not be able to escape death. In order to buy time for the people to escape, Pingyuan Jun shouted: "Zhao Yu, you hold my talisman and go to Changping quickly." Let the defenders of Changping come to our aid and prepare the people to enter the city. ”
When Zhao Yu heard this, he said anxiously: "Pingyuanjun went to Changping for help, and I stayed to fight against the Qin army." ”
"If I go, the army will be in turmoil. I am here, so the military spirit will not disperse. The king of the plains asked: "Whether I and the people can live or not, I will leave it to you." ”
"Whoa." Zhao Yu took the order and left.
Pingyuan Jun said again: "The Qin army is coming in an instant, and there is a general who is willing to lead the troops and intercept the Qin army." Buy time for the safe evacuation of the people of Shangdang. ”
The Marquis of Changzhi took the initiative to ask: "Pingyuan Jun is unwilling to abandon the people and flee, I deeply admire this pride." Pingyuan Jun led the people first, and I stayed behind for you. ”
Seeing the current catastrophe, the Marquis of Changzhi chose to stay behind, and said movingly: "Marquis Changzhi, I will leave three thousand armor soldiers for you to go to intercept the Qin army." ”
The Marquis of Changzhi said in a loud voice: "The last general will take the order." ”
At nightfall, the sound of the earth shaking and the mountains shaking. Immediately afterward, there were shouts, "Pingyuan-kun, leave away." ”
Seeing that the Qin State was approaching, the king of the plain ordered someone to attack him. The Qin army was dominated by iron cavalry, which was unstoppable, and the Zhao army was defeated and retreated. In a scuffle, Plains-kun lost contact with the generals. As the sky brightened, the shouts of killing continued unabated. Pingyuan Jun looked at the only remaining soldiers around him, less than a hundred people, and wept sadly.
Suddenly, there was a sound of iron horsemanship. Pingyuan Jun saw the Qin army chasing after him, and the soldiers around him were exhausted and unable to fight again. Pingyuan Jun didn't want to be caught, grabbed the long sword in his hand, and thought: "Qingshan buries the bones of loyalty, how can a strong man return." Today, I am buried here. ”
Pingyuan Jun shouted, "Soldiers, fight with me. ”
The Qin army scouts in the crowd, recognized Pingyuanjun, and shouted: "General Ren, that is Pingyuanjun." ”
Qin General Ren Yi saw that Pingyuanjun was surrounded by the soldiers around him in the center, and in the face of the Qin army's fierce offensive, he was still stubbornly resisting, and said loudly: "Whoever can capture Pingyuanjun alive will be rewarded." ”
At this time, the sound of shouting and killing came, and he said loudly: "Pingyuanjun, the last general Che Ying came to the rescue." ”
Another shout came: "Pingyuan Jun, the last general Shi Crane has come to the rescue." ”
When Pingyuan Jun saw Che Ying and Shi Crane coming to ask for help, his confidence increased greatly, and he shouted, "Kill me." ”
Qin general Ren Yi saw that the reinforcements of the Zhao army dared to come, but there were many people and they could not win. After the battle, they quickly left the battlefield.
Che Ying and Shi Que came to Pingyuan Jun and saluted: "The last general will come to the rescue, it's too late." Please, Plains-kun reprimand. ”
Pingyuanjun hurriedly said: "Thanks to the two of you. Otherwise, I would be buried here. ”
Che Ying said: "Thank you Pingyuanjun for not punishing me." ”
Shi Que said: "Pingyuan Jun, we have temporarily repelled the pursuers of the Qin State. However, the main force of the Qin State is not far from us. We need to get out of the way quickly. ”
Pingyuanjun didn't answer, and asked, "You didn't help Huayangjun defend the city, how could you appear here." ”
Che Ying said: "Wang Ji attacked me from the front. Huayang Jun ordered me to wait and go to help. Our army could not resist and returned in defeat. We led the remnants of the army and joined the Shangdang and Huayang Jun to defend the city. But he saw the Qin general Zhang Xian, and the soldiers besieged the city. We united with Huayang Jun and killed the Qin general Zhang Xian. Huayangjun was worried that he would be retaliated against by the Qin army, and in order to preserve the strength of the anti-Qin, he ordered us to wait and lead the army to evacuate. ”
Shi Que said: "We haven't evacuated yet, and the left army Wang Ling killed the Shangdang." Wang Ye of the right army also came to help. When the city was broken, Huayangjun left 2,000 soldiers to contain the Qin army and buy time for us to evacuate. We led the soldiers and took advantage of the night to evacuate from the trail. ”
Quartz said sadly: "There is a sea of fire in the city, and Huayangjun died fighting for the country. ”
Pingyuan Jun said: "Huayang Jun died fighting for the country, but I did not fulfill his entrustment and led the people of Shangdang to evacuate Changping, but let them be killed. I'm sorry, Huayang-kun! ”
Shi Que said: "The Qin army's pursuit will be coming soon, and I ask Pingyuan Jun to make plans as soon as possible." ”
Pingyuan Jun didn't have time to be sad, so he took the soldiers and the people to Changping. Pingyuan Jun had just walked not far when he suddenly heard that the Qin army had arrived again. Fortunately, there are Changzhi Hou, Shi Yu, Che Ying and others to help, and they will fight and walk, and they will be able to reach Changping after half a day.
Pingyuanjun walked out of another mile, and a shout came from behind: "Pingyuanjun, Hugh wants to go." ”
Che Ying saw General Qin and shouted, "Pingyuan Jun, this person is Wang Ye." ”
Pingyuan Jun heard that Wang Ye, who was leading the right army, chased after him, and then looked at the little troops around him, but he couldn't resist it no matter what. Cha Ying led his army to meet the battle and intercept the pursuers. Wang Ye did not love to fight, and attacked it separately. In an instant, the cavalry led by Wang Ye surrounded Pingyuan Jun and others.
Wang Ye caught up with Pingyuanjun and shouted, "Pingyuanjun, I finally caught up with you." ”
Seeing that it was difficult to get out, Pingyuan Jun said in his heart: "My life is over." ”
Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Wang Ye mistakenly thought that he was afraid of the momentum of the Qin army, so he didn't dare to resist, and said softly: "Pingyuan Jun is the uncle of King Zhao, under one person, above ten thousand. Pingyuanjun was captured by me, how much money will Zhao Wangdan take in exchange. I thought that Pingyuan-kun was amazing, but that's it. ”
Ren Yi sneered: "Sanjin boys, all of them are incompetent!" Plains-kun, don't come down soon. lest they do their hands and kill you by mistake. ”
Although Pingyuanjun knew that the defeat was decided, he was also ready to die, and laughed loudly. Wang Ye asked, "What is Pingyuanjun laughing at?" ”
When Pingyuan Jun saw Qin Jun, he was not timid, and said solemnly: "I'll wait, how can I survive if I lose the face of the three Jin boys." ”
Wang Ye didn't expect Pingyuan Jun to say such a thing, which surprised him. Wang Ye saw that the other party was not able to do anything, so he teased: "Could it be that Pingyuan Jun wants to rely on this little force to fight with us." ”
Pingyuan Jun Zhengse said: "Exactly." ”
"Pingyuan-kun, let's give up resistance! How can you resist us with this little strength? Seeing the morale of Zhao Jun, Wang Ye gradually recovered, and threatened: "Put down your weapons, and those who surrender to me will not die." Don't fall, kill. ”
The soldiers of the Qin army said in a loud voice: "Descend, descend, surrender." ”
Pingyuan Jun was also unmoved, and said in a loud voice: "Sanjin boy, how can you descend to Qin." Soldiers, fight side by side with me. ”
The soldiers of the Zhao army shouted: "War, war, war." ”
Wang Ye saw that Pingyuan Jun was unwilling to surrender, so he solemnly said, "Kill me." ”
Shi Crane commanded his soldiers to fight against the Qin army on one side, and protected the safety of Pingyuan Jun on the other. After a little fighting, Shi Crane saw the direction of Changping, dust and smoke rose everywhere, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and shouted: "Pingyuan Jun, our reinforcements are coming." ”
"Pingyuanjun, the last general Zhao Yu came to the rescue."
Seeing that it was Zhao Yu who came with reinforcements, Pingyuan Jun shouted: "Heaven will not kill me." ”
Zhao Yu led the iron cavalry of Zhao Guo and rushed into the formation and killed the Qin army. Ren Yi led the army to intercept him, but was beheaded by Zhao Yu. Wang Ye saw that the iron cavalry of the Zhao army was coming, and in a scuffle, he was also seriously wounded.
Seeing that the Qin army was in chaos, Pingyuan Jun trampled on each other, commanded the soldiers around him, and rushed over. Wang Ye saw that the Zhao army was attacked from both sides, and the situation on the battlefield was reversed, which was not conducive to the Qin army. Wang Ye killed several people in a row and ordered: "Withdraw." ”
Seeing that Wang Ye was retreating, Pingyuan Jun did not dare to fight, and led his soldiers to run to Changping. Pingyuan Jun stepped into the territory of Zhao State, and the corners of his eyes suddenly filled his eyes with tears, and he lamented: "When I go, there are 50,000 people; When he returned, it was less than five thousand. Zhao Guo, I'm back. ”
Before Pingyuan Jun was happy, he learned that the Qin general Wang Ling led his army to come. Zhao Yu led five hundred iron horsemen to intercept it. Wang Ling asked Wang Ye to lead the army to kill the intercepting army. He led the main force and went to intercept Pingyuan-kun.
Che Ying, Shi Que, Changzhi Hou and others protected Pingyuan Jun and went to the party. When Wang Ling saw that he was about to catch up with the king of the plains, he suddenly heard the sound of drums and the sound of killing. After a while, a veteran stood with a sword. It was followed by a large number of iron horsemen.
The drums stopped, and a tiger shouted over, "Pingyuanjun, Lian Po is here." ”
Seeing that it was Lian Po, Pingyuan Jun shouted, "Lian Po save me." ”
"The whole army listens to the order and rescues Pingyuanjun." Lian Po's long sword swung forward and ordered, "Kill." ”
Lian Po gave an order, and Zhao Guotie rode like a fierce wind and rain, rushing towards the Qin army. Wang Ling and Wang Ye saw that it was Zhao's reinforcements, Zhao's iron cavalry, and Zhao's general Lian Po. Wang Ling saw that although Lian was old, he was majestic. Wang Ling saw that Zhao Guo's iron cavalry was numerous, and his combat power was not weak. After a moment of fighting, they withdrew from the battlefield.
Lian Po repelled Qin's pursuers, and came to Pingyuanjun to approach and said, "Pingyuanjun, Lian Po, it's too late, you have suffered." ”
Pingyuanjun remembered the thrilling and narrowly escaped death just now, and said excitedly: "Lian Po, you are finally here." ”
