Chapter 54: Yu Jue
In the sound of the squeaky and hoarse turning of the door, the Yi gate of the Mulberry Tunnel finally opened, and the woman who didn't understand what was going on saw that the Chu people did not give orders, so she went out of the city to collect millet under the order of the Yi Order. It seems that the millet harvest is a little early, the millet ears in the fields outside the Yi are heavy, but the millet seedlings still have a few traces of green, but the Wei State is short of grain this year, and now there is a big war, and it is not wrong to harvest millet early.
"Official, the Wei people really went out of the city to collect millet...... more than ten miles away from the Sang Tunnel, Yu Fen, who put down Lu Lijing, looked at Hou Zheng and was slightly disappointed.
"It doesn't seem wrong." Hou Zhengzao was also a little disappointed, the girl in the city just now talked naturally, and there was no difference.
"Report!" The cavalry came from afar, "General Xin asked Hou Zheng to return to the Valley of Horses quickly." ”
"What?" Hou Zheng was shocked in his heart, and everyone searched for King Jing without success, even if they wanted to withdraw, it was not today.
"General Zhao Shan...... Defeated. Xunbing's face was full of bitterness, "General Li ordered me to return to Jiyi to meet Zhao Shanjun as soon as possible. ”
It was the third day of the defeat, and although Jiyi was still in the hands of Li Xin, there were only more than 20,000 people under his command plus the Jiyi garrison. In the southwest of the basin, there were regrouped Sui and Tang divisions, numbering nearly 40,000; In the southeast, there were 30,000 Chu army kings who blocked Zhao Shanjun's retreat. The fighting in the east of Huaishui continued day and night, but Li Xin just had no way to break the siege.
Zhao Shanjun was still insisting, and Li Xin thought of gathering all the soldiers for the final blow, if he could repel the Chu army at the bridgehead, then he would be able to rescue part of the besieged Qin army; If you can't repel the Chu army at the bridgehead, then you must start retreating, otherwise you will be surrounded and killed in this narrow basin like Zhao Shanjun.
"Defeated......" Hou Zhengzao couldn't believe it, Zhao Shan had 150,000 Qin troops under his command, how could he say that he was defeated. How did you lose? ”
"The villain doesn't know, the villain only hears that Xiang Yan, the general of Jingguo, has arrived in Jiyi." The signal soldier said, this is the news he heard.
"Xiang Yan!" Hou Zhengzao took a breath, isn't Xiang Yan still in Chencheng, how did he get to Jiyi. "Let's go!"
Hou Zheng was on the same level as Jun Sima, Hou Zheng said to go, and all the Qin cavalry who were ambushed here retreated to Magu. As soon as they left, the news reached the residence of Dr. Gongsun. Because he was worried that the Qin army would send people into the city and enter the Yiling Mansion to search, Xiong Jing moved to the Gongsun Mansion in the east of Yidong at this time.
"Your Majesty, the Qin people have retreated." Fei Jing's hanging heart finally let go.
"Yes." Xiong Jing remained silent, he didn't think there was anything dangerous about it. "What's next for our army?"
"Your lord, the minister thinks he should wait for reinforcements here." Fei Jing Road. "The minister has sent people to Xi County yesterday."
Before Xiang Chao left, Concubine Jing sent someone to the state of Chu to report the letter, and the reinforcements would come either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and it would be safest to leave at that time. But he still estimated that it was too late, and at noon, a large army quickly approached the Sang Tunnel, and the knights who were watching from the city began to think that it was the Qin people, and when they saw that it was the Chu flag fluttering, they immediately cheered. It was the division of Cai County who came, and the horseback leaders in front were Xiang Chao, Cheng Kui and others.
"Greetings to the king." After entering the city, Xiang Chao and others, together with Cai Gong Pan You, saluted Xiong Jing.
"No courtesy." Xiong Jing was annoyed for a while, thirty horsemen and one pawn, and now he only saw Xiang Chao seven or eight knights, could the others be dead?
"How's the battle going in Jiyi?" Xiong Jing is most concerned about the war in Jiyi.
"Your Majesty, the day before yesterday, the general broke the Qin army and surrounded the Qin army between the Huaishui." Pan You also got the news after dawn today, when Cai Shi had crossed the Rushui and was on his way to the Mulberry Tunnel.
"And now?" Xiong Jing asked again. "The three-way Qin army, this is one of them, our army needs to return to Huaishang as soon as possible."
"The king, the minister doesn't know." Of course, Pan You didn't know the situation in Jiyi, let alone the battle plan in the future.
"Is there a boat division on the Rushui River?" Xiong Jing asked again, and he wanted to rush to the Chu realm immediately and send a message to understand all the situation.
"Your Majesty, there is. Yingdu, Xixian, and Chengyang all sent boat divisions to Rushui. After Pan You finished speaking, he said: "This is the realm of Wei, the minister asks the king to enter Chu quickly, the queen mother, Ling Yin, and the general look forward to the king for a long time, and I, the people of Chu, also look forward to the king for a long time." ”
"There are more than 100 injured people in the city." Xiong Jing talked about the wounded soldiers who accompanied him.
"Please don't worry, the king will send them to Xincai." Pan You assumed that the pontoon bridge crossed the Rushui, and sent more than a dozen four-wheeled carriages to pick up Xiong Jing and the wounded.
"Childe ......" In the Gongsun Mansion, the maid shouted softly.
"What?" Gongsun Yan had already bathed and changed into a set of curly clothes that she didn't often wear.
"When the king of Chu goes, he asks someone to hand over this jade jue to the son." The maid holds a jade jue. "It is said that he will remember the righteousness of Gongzi's retreat from the Qin army, and he will repay it in the future."
"Put it down." Gongsun Yan was combing her long black hair in front of the bronze mirror, her eyes looked sideways, and she didn't care about the tone. When the maid retreated, she turned her head to look at the jade jue on the table, and couldn't help but reach out and take it, and put it in her hand to play.
With Zhou Li, only the Son of Heaven can wear white jade. After the collapse of the ceremony, the kings of various countries began to claim the king, and they also wore white jade, and the jade jue in front of Gongsun Yan was made of white jade. The jade is flawless, the ring is missing, and in the delicate and fine pan claw pattern, there is also a phoenix carved at both ends. Chu people worship the phoenix, although the phoenix is openworked, but the blade is natural and smooth, sharp and strong. Gongsun Yan's family background is not prominent, but he also knows that this is something only in the Wang family.
"Tyrant." After admiring the jade jue in his hand for a while, Gongsun Yan threw it on the table again. She always remembered the brutality and ruthlessness in Xiong Jing's sentence 'drag it out and kill it', and she couldn't forget the old retainer who was ordered to be executed by Xiong Jing, but then she thought of Wei and Chu at war, the two countries were enemy countries, and she felt that this matter was too common in the war, at least he didn't slaughter people like the Qin people......
Thinking about it, she unconsciously picked up a few jade jue on it again. How will he repay himself? Gongsun Yan instantly thought of this question, and suddenly thought of Yi Ling's sentence of 'young envoy', and immediately blushed with shame, threw Yu Jue down again, and never looked at it again.
Women's minds are always complicated, and for them, loving someone and hating someone are actually the same thing. But sometimes it's more and more ruthless when you love, and sometimes it's more and more love. Xiong Jing naturally didn't understand the mystery, and at this time, he didn't have the heart to remember a son-in-law in a small town on the border of Chu and Wei. What he was thinking about now was: when will the Battle of Jiyi end? When will the boat master return to the teacher? When will the Battle of Aocang begin? And, most importantly: when will the Qin army north of Shangcai and Yangxia attack?
Facing the 800,000 army of the three kingdoms of Qin, Wei and Han, the state of Chu could not make a mistake at any time. Once you make a mistake and lose this war, then all the counties in Huaishang will be lost. Losing Huaishang, with only a population of more than one million in Huainan and Jiangdong, I am afraid that I will no longer be able to preserve the Sheji of Chu except to avoid overseas.
