readx; "The chief wants to ...... Please? ”

Zhao Wuxian glanced at the Qin seal document written on the fine silk cloth, and then threw it aside with contempt, staring at the Qin envoy who was bowing at his feet. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In late April, as stated in the document on the sacrifice of the willows, in late April, Zhao Wuxian and his Yulin army left the salt pond and crossed the Zhongtiao Mountains to reach the Detention Horse, which had been conquered by Musha's army.

In the sixth year of the Jin Linggong, Qin Kanggong cut down the Jin Dynasty and took the detention horse, which was the place where the last eastern expedition of the Qin State arrived, and in the south of the detention horse twenty miles, it was the Fengling Ferry.

Previously, the combined forces of Qin and Wei gave up going to Pusaka and turned to Fenglingdu, but before they could cross the number of people, the army of thieves preemptively occupied the south of the river. All but a few of those who were very lucky fled in the direction of Taihua Mountain in Qin, and the rest were killed, and Jingguan was placed on the bank of the river to vent their grief and anger at the loss of their commander.

Although those "plantar gangsters" were leaderless, the generals at the grassroots level were still there, and they firmly controlled the army, forcing the Qin-Wei coalition army not to dare to cross the river, so they could only hesitate at Fengling, and before they had time to return to Weiyi, they were surrounded by the Zhao legions who killed from different directions.

This huge encirclement was hundreds of miles long, and the camp of the Qin and Wei coalition forces with their backs to the river also covered several miles, and the Zhao army occupied various key roads, and the company camped outside.

At this time, the Qin people sent people to ask for peace talks......

The Qin State had no soldiers in Weinan, and at this time it could only hope that the envoy's three-inch incorruptible tongue would have a miraculous effect. However, Zhao Wuxian completely ignored the Qin people.

"The chief seems to have forgotten one thing, it was the Qin State that provoked the war, it was the Qin State that aided the traitors of the Jin, and it was the Qin State that invaded the territory of the Jin, and now the Qin army is about to be destroyed, but the Grand Commander sent you to say that the Qin State does not want to fight ......"

Zhao Wuxian said with a smile: "But at this time, whether to fight or not, it is no longer up to the Qin people to have the final say, and the initiative of the war has long been in the hands of the Zhao family!" If there is still a bit of blood, I will take my war letter, if not, you can surrender as soon as possible, and you don't have to play any more peace and peace! ”

"The trapped beasts are still fighting, the Qin army still has tens of thousands, and they are fighting to the death with their backs to the river, what good is it for you?" The messenger begged bitterly: "If Shangqing lets the soldiers of the Qin army live, the Qin State is willing to return Hexi, rebuild the good of Qin and Jin, and never commit the Jin State again!" ”

"Hexi is the inviolable territory of the Jin Kingdom, and now it has been controlled by most of my cavalry, if I want to take it myself, why bother with the Qin people?" This condition was far from satisfying Zhao Wuxian's appetite.

"You go back and tell the chief that if the Qin State doesn't want to fight, it's okay, but in the form of surrender, let the Qin army in Hedong lay down their arms and kneel out of the camp to ask me to surrender, and their life and death will be decided by me......"

Before Zhao Wuxian could finish speaking, he saw the messenger's face look embarrassed, and knew that he couldn't be the master, so he stopped talking.

"As for the other conditions, wait for the Qin army to present Wei Ju's head and hands!"

With a wave of his sleeves, he blasted the messenger away, and Zi Xia and the others came over and said, "Qin people, please surrender if you are not sincere." ”

"Yes, they are only afraid that they want to delay time, because Hangu and Taolin have fallen into my hands, and the Qin State probably doesn't know that the king of Chu has died of illness and the news that the Chu army has withdrawn, so they want to delay it for a few more days and wait for the Chu people to come to the rescue...... Or, is it waiting for the Qi Kingdom in the east to make progress? The poor Qin State Commander can only hope for others now, and inform him of this matter before the Qin envoy leaves, which just messes up the hearts of the Qin people. “

Immediately, Zhao Wuxian looked at his generals and said: "Now that both time and situation are on the Zhao side, let the armies from all walks of life slowly tighten the encirclement, don't rush to attack the camp of the Qin and Wei coalition forces, build trebuchets and keep bombarding, and when they run out of food and run out of morale, it's not too late to attack again!" “

"Yui!" Mu Xia, Tian Ben, Yang Hu and others agreed in unison.

Zhao Wuxian emphasized: "But you must not relax your vigilance, Yu is not joking in the sacrificial text, this is the last battle in Hedong, the second and third sons must do their best!" ”

……

"How many escaped?" After getting up early in the morning and drinking a bowl of porridge, Wei Ju asked a little weakly.

Wei's family Sima said hesitantly: "Last night, there were more than 100 people in groups, trying to cross the barrier, most of them were shot and killed by the soldiers of the night watch, and only a few forcibly turned over...... probably defected to Zhao Jun. “

"The eve of the big is more than ten, the eve is dozens, there are more and more deserters, and if you go on like this......"

Wei Ju let out a long sigh, different from the soaring two months ago, in the past two months, they have been on the road of defeat and escape, defeating Anyi from Quwo, defeating Weiyi from Anyi, and coming to Fenglingdu with one ten-thousandth hope, hoping to cross the river from here to Qin. Unexpectedly, as happened in Longmen and Puban, the opposite bank was occupied by the enemy, the army could not cross the river, and it was too late to return to Weiyi.

Although Wei Ju can use the Qin people as bait, at this time, the division of troops will inevitably be broken by the Zhao family, and there are not even bones left, so he can only continue to pinch his nose and join forces with the Qin army to the north of Fengling Ferry.

Chen Heng promised to lead the army of Chu to come to relieve the siege, at least so that they could have the opportunity to cross the river to escape, but more than half a month passed, but not a single soldier of the king of Chu was seen in the south of the river, but the Zhao army arrived here one after another and camped around the barrier of the coalition army. Zhao Wuxian was not in a hurry to attack, but just consumed it, building a catapult machine to send stones to destroy the barriers built by the earth and create panic. The smoke of the cooking there, the neighing of war horses, and the smell of food wafted from time to time, making it more and more difficult for the coalition forces.

And there are rumors from the Zhao army, saying that the king of Chu is dead and the Chu army has retreated......

For a time, the people were panicked, and as the food gradually ran out, some Wei soldiers whose families were in Hedong could not stand it, and they forgot their oath of allegiance, and tried to run out in groups, like rats with a premonition that the ship was going to sink.

Although there was no large-scale escape on the side of the Qin army and the Zheng army, if they continued to consume like this, they would collapse without a fight!

"Can't wait any longer!" On this day, Wei Ju, Qin Guozihu, and You Su combined, if you don't want the whole army to collapse without food, you must find a way to come out! He believed that the number of Zhao's army was only 30,000 or 40,000 more than the 50,000 coalition army, and it did not reach the level of "ten encirclements".

From the moment Zhao Wuxian announced that the entire Wei clan was treason and that the captors would be tortured to death, Wei Ju knew that he had no way to live, and now even if he went out to wag his tail and beg to surrender, Zhao Wuxian would wantonly humiliate him and give him death, so he could only attack.

"Yes...... Even if we defeat the Zhao army, where can we break through and go? “

As for You Su, the battle of Luoshui seemed to crush him, but the massacre of the Zhao army also forced the Zheng people to a dead end, and they would rather fight to the death than surrender. But things must be considered clearly after the attack, now that the three ferries in Hedong have been blocked, and the Chu army, which had originally pinned its hopes, has not arrived, perhaps it is really as Zhao Wuxian said, the king of Chu is dead, and the Chu army has also broken its promise and retreated, in that case, the coalition army has nowhere to go.

"And Wei Yi! My cousin Lu Xing is still there! "The hometown where the Wei family rose is now Wei Ju's last hope.

"If you can retreat to Weiyi smoothly, and kill and injure Zhao a lot at the same time, which makes Zhao Wuxian feel tricky, maybe the eldest chief can come up with a way to ......"

Zihu is the most determined person among the three, and the Qin army is also the backbone of the coalition army, and he also agreed to break through, since he made the decision, the three armies want to try again.

Ironically, this was the first time they had mustered up the courage to meet the Zhao army head-on in Hedong, and for the previous two months, they had been passively beaten in retreat and flight.

After the agreement, on the evening of April 29, the camp tent where the Wei army was located was ......

There were still a lot of people who fled last night, but the momentum was barely contained, in order to boost morale, Wei Ju killed his own horses, boiled a large pot of broth for the Wei soldiers who guarded him, and killed more than ten wounded horses in the army, and slaughtered a few donkeys with heavy camels to reward the soldiers. The soldiers in his army, not to mention the smell of meat, many of them had not eaten a full meal for more than ten days, and smelling the tempting aroma of the broth, even Wei's family Sima couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

At the same time, the same thing happened in the camp of the Qin army and the Zheng army, as if it was a thief and a shipwreck, and the three armies were also facing a desperate situation, the Qin people drank the last drop of wine and dropped the only remaining pottery bowl, and the Zheng army remembered five thousand relatives and friends who were slaughtered as livestock on the banks of the Luoshui River, and everyone cried for a while, and the revenge * defeated the hunger in the belly.

What's more, the three commanders all lied that there was a large army coming to the rescue in Weinan of the Qin State, and the reinforcements from the Chu State were about to arrive!

They were told that they only needed to fight a battle for survival, go to Weiyi, and then hide in the safety of the walls, eat well, and that's it!

The brilliance of the sun wheel gradually dimmed, and in the distant sky to the east, the orange and dark purple clouds seemed to be within reach of the ground, I don't know if it was because of too much blood in the past few months, or because of this sunset, the entire land east of the river was covered with a layer of dark red.

Wei Ju stroked his remaining mount while looking at the brightly lit Zhao military camp behind the coalition ramparts. It may be too desperate to break through at night, but in Wei Ju's opinion, if there is no better option, the risk is worth it.

The problem is that it's not as easy to do as it sounds.

At this time, there was silence on the plain, and there was not even the chirping of summer insects. But in fact, under the cover of night, a small group of scouts sent by the Zhao clan have been roaming around, monitoring every move of the coalition forces. And what Wei Ju didn't know was that there was a sharp weapon called the "Clairvoyant Mirror" in the Zhao army, which was snooping towards this side by the moonlight, and his every move was under their noses......

Their plan is this, the dead soldiers of the Qin army will first break through to the north, and then the Qin, Wei, and Zheng armies will take the opportunity to attack the east, and break through in one breath by taking advantage of the night, and they will be able to reach Weiyi tomorrow morning!

However, before the three armies could move, like a meteor piercing the night sky, a log wrapped in flames was thrown high and fell into the barrier, illuminating the small area.

Then came the horns of the Zhao army's camp one after another, and the neighing of war horses......

The sound of killing was everywhere, as if in an instant, the outside of the barrier was full of Zhao Jun's torches, like a sea of fire.

Just when the coalition forces were about to break through, it was the Zhao army that launched the attack first!
