Chapter 240: Horse Meat Turmoil
Yan Chixing looked at Bai Mengqi, who had been fighting with him for almost two years, and smiled, clapped his horse and stepped forward and said, "General, Yan has something important that he wants to discuss with you, I don't know if it's convenient for Fang to talk alone?" ”
Bai Mengqi hesitated and was about to step forward, but the deputy general beside him stopped him: "The general can't go, Yan Chixing is the castle master of the Condor Castle, and his martial arts are strong, if he takes the opportunity to attack you, then Handan will be over." ”
Bai Mengqi smiled: "It's okay, what kind of identity Yan Da Sima is, how could he do such a despicable thing, besides, even if I don't go to see him, Handan won't be able to stay for long, it's better to listen to what he wants to say." ”
After saying that, Bai Mengqi also patted his horse and walked towards Yan Chixing, and the two rode side by side for a while, opening up some distance from the troops behind them.
Yan Chixing grabbed the reins and said, "Okay, here it is, General, do you know that Sucheng has been captured by the Tianluo Sect?" ”
How could Bai Mengqi not know about the fall of the Qin State, he fainted when he received the news. But fortunately, after the Tianluo Sect occupied Sucheng, there was no violation of his family, and he did not even send anyone to his mansion, and still issued a fortune to his family according to the standards of the general of the Qin State.
Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Yan Chixing continued to ask: "I have been attacking Handan for more than half a year, you are now short of soldiers and food, and the destruction of the city is just around the corner for me, I wonder if you have ever thought about your plans after the city is broken?" ”
Bai Mengqi was stunned again, as a general, of course, he had already prepared for the horse leather shroud, the Qin State was destroyed, Handan was the last city of the Qin State, of course he was martyred after the city was broken, could he still surrender to the enemy?
"Da Sima specially asked me out today, is he planning to persuade me to surrender?" Bai Mengqi asked with a disdainful expression.
"Hahaha, the general misunderstood, although this seat is conceited, but I don't dare to expect to be able to take the general into the account, and besides, what a hero the general is, how can he surrender to the enemy." Yan Chixing laughed.
"Then what did Da Sima mean by asking me to come out?"
"Since the death of Xiang Tong and Ning Zeping, there have been fewer and fewer famous generals in the world, and I can't bear to let you die on the battlefield, so I plan to give you another chance."
"Oh? What chances? ”
"I'll let you go back to Qin, whether you go to the Feng clan or establish yourself as a king, I hope you can be like Xiang Chu of Chu State, under the banner of reviving Qin State, and start an incident in Qin." Yan Chixing said what he meant.
Bai Mengqi was slightly surprised, and after thinking about it, he guessed his deep meaning: "Hmph, Da Sima wants to occupy my Qin State, but he is worried that he will not be able to defeat the Tianluo Sect, so he wants me to disturb the Qin Land first?" ”
Yan Chixing didn't hide it: "Yes, I admit that we underestimated the Tianluo Sect from the beginning, they took Gao Kegong as the commander, they just wanted us to restrain each other, and they took advantage of the fisherman." Now that they're above me, I'm not afraid of them if I attack them, but it's always good to reduce my losses. ”
"I didn't let you go exactly to take advantage of you, at least to give you a chance to make a comeback. Tianluo Sect is not attached, if you take the opportunity to start an incident, the probability of success is still very high, maybe we will have a chance to fight again in the future, and then you will find a way to avenge today's defeat. ”
Bai Mengqi thought about it and felt that there was some truth in this, it was better to go back to Qin and start an incident than to die on the battlefield.
"Okay, I promise you, if Da Sima has nothing else to do, I will go back and lead the army to withdraw from Handan City."
"No, no, no, general, you misunderstood again, what Yan said was that only you were allowed to leave, and you couldn't take away the 20,000 troops in the city."
As Shi Luosheng said, Bai Mengqi is a famous general in the world, how dare Yan Chixing let him lead his troops away, what if he leads the army to counterattack other cities in Yanzhou on the way? At present, the strength of Yanzhou is smaller than that of the Tianluo Sect, and the success of the uprising in Yanzhou is also higher than in other places in Qin.
"Is Da Sima going to let me go alone to make trouble? You must know that the Tianluo Sect has an army of 200,000. Bai Mengqi's tone was both surprised and a little angry.
Yan Chixing doesn't care about this: "This is not what Yan should consider, not only will I not let you take a soldier away, but even after you get into trouble, I will not support you with a grain of grain and grass." ”
"Hahaha, Da Sima, you can't help but think too highly of Bai, you want money and no money, you don't want people to be nobody, you don't want me to go back and make trouble, but you want to kill me with the hand of Tianluo Sect, so as not to intensify the contradiction between you and the people of Qindi, right?" Bai Mengqi laughed angrily, in fact, he had already prepared for this in his heart, and the reason why he wanted to behave like this was just to seek greater help.
Yan Chixing was still unmoved: "This seat does have some such considerations, the general has won the hearts of the people in Qindi, even if he dies, it is best not to die in my hands." As for funding, you don't have to provoke me anymore, no matter how you say that we may become enemies again in the future, how can Yan have a reason to fund the enemy army. ”
"Since Da Sima refuses to give anything, how can he let me go, do you want me to abandon the city and flee alone now?" Bai Mengqi was still angry.
"Of course not, if the general does this, what will the people of the world think of you? You still go back to defend the city, you can defend it as you want, and I will attack the city with my ability, but after the city is broken, I will leave a hole in the north of the city, and then the general can escape from there. Although Yan Chixing didn't promise to help him, he didn't think about taking advantage of him and letting him hand over Handan City for nothing.
"Okay, just according to what Da Sima said, but if you can't beat Handan City, you can't blame me." After speaking, Bai Mengqi turned his horse's head and ran in the direction of the city.
Yan Chixing stood in place and looked at his back and smiled.
"General, the East Gate has been broken by the Song general Ji Yun, let's organize a street battle." After half a month of strong attacks by the Song army, Handan was finally overcome, but none of the soldiers of the Qin army were afraid of death, and they asked for orders to fight in the streets, wanting to do a final duel with the Song army.
The expected defeat did not make Bai Mengqi feel frustrated, but he gave a faint order: "Give up the street fighting, we will break through from the north gate." ”
The adjutant general asked puzzledly: "The Qin State has perished, and the entire territory of Yanzhou is also occupied by the Song army, even if we break out, where can we go?" ”
"Since you are all like me, you want to die for your country, then instead of sacrificing here in vain, it is better to try to break out, as long as you can save your lives and find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future, there is still hope for the restoration of the country." Bai Mengqi knew that Yan Chixing had left him a hole at the north gate, but he didn't plan to fulfill the agreement, and wanted to take all the soldiers to kill together.
"Let's listen to the general, kill it!" Qin Jun rekindled his desire to survive from the deputy general downward.
Bai Mengqi led the generals to open the north gate and rushed out, although Yan Chixing left him an opening, but he also prevented him from coming such a hand, so he had already set up an ambush in advance.
If it was just Bai Mengqi who went out of the city alone, then the ambush would not have been launched. If he takes people out of the city, then ten thousand arrows will be fired.
After a few rounds of arrow rain, Wu Changchen led the ambush soldiers to kill the Qin army who wanted to break through.
The remaining 5,000 Qin soldiers didn't react yet, and they fought with the Song army again. Although they were all fearless of death, they still couldn't stand the Song army, and after half an hour, Bai Mengqi only led a dozen horsemen to break out.
"General, the Song army didn't follow, why don't you find a place to rest first, and then discuss where to go?" The lieutenant general, whose wounds were still bleeding, looked at the soldiers who were more seriously injured behind him, and opened his mouth to suggest.
"Okay, there's a ruined temple ahead, we'll rest there tonight, kill a horse, and everyone will fill their hunger first." Bai Mengqi agreed.
The fire was soon lit, and a moment later the smell of roasted horse meat wafted around. When everyone was about to eat, a voice came from outside the temple gate: "What fragrant horse meat, can you give us a little too?" Then, seven or eight big men walked in.
The adjutant general waved his hand tiredly: "Go, go, just such a horse, we don't have enough food for these people, how can we give it to you again." ”
"It turns out that they are all military masters." Seeing that they were all wearing Qin State military uniforms, they smiled and said: "Don't be so stingy, Master Jun, I see that there are more than a dozen good horses outside the temple, they must all be yours, it's better to kill one more, at most we will pay more." The man at the head said with a grin.
"Presumptuous, those are all our war horses, how can we kill them if you say so." The lieutenant shouted angrily.
"Then how do you eat your own war horses now?" Those who come do not forgive.
The adjutant drew his long knife and threatened: "Hurry up and get out of here, and make noise again, be careful that General Ben cuts off your head." ”
"The military master is so majestic, it's a pity that the Qin State has perished, if my guess is right, you should have escaped from the newly defeated Handan City, if I go to report to the official, I think I will be able to get a lot of rewards."
The lieutenant was furious and slashed at the man. Unexpectedly, the figure moved, and he dodged effortlessly.
The deputy general was secretly surprised, he was a long-time battle-hardened person, and his martial arts were extraordinary, thinking that the other party was just a nearby mountain and wild villager, but he didn't expect that he was actually a hidden master.
"Kill another horse for them, and we'll get on our way when we're done." Bai Mengqi, who had been beside him without speaking, spoke, he saw that the other party's martial arts were extraordinary, and he was not far from causing trouble.
The adjutant general made a gesture helplessly, and one of his soldiers led a horse from outside the temple and handed it to the man.
Who knew that the man did not take it, and said provocatively: "I want your roasted horse." ”
The deputy general was just about to have a seizure, and Bai Mengqi said again: "Give them to them, let's just bake them again." ”
The man smiled at Bai Mengqi when he heard this, and then beckoned everyone behind him to come forward and eat the horse meat, and the deputy general had to roast it again.
By the time they were done, the gang had finished eating, smelled the meat, patted their stomachs and said, "We haven't eaten yet, so you can give us another leg of the horse." ”
