To the south of Puyang City, there is a plain that cannot be seen, only a few small slopes and a few woods and villages block the view, this rich plain, for thousands of years, to feed many people, but at this moment, this plain has become the defeated place of the Qi army. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

I don't know how many soldiers were slashed and killed by the Wei soldiers who caught up, I don't know how many soldiers died under the bows and crossbows of the Wei army, and I don't know how many soldiers were crushed or even trampled to death by their own people.

However, compared with the rout and pursuit of troops from the main battlefield to the Qi camp, in the south where not many people noticed, there was also a relatively smaller pursuit, this chase only had thousands of people involved, compared with the big scene of more than 100,000, it was simply not worth mentioning, but in terms of importance, the 100,000 Qi country rout soldiers were not even as good as the one who was hunted down.

This person is Qi Hou.

As the monarch of a country and a traditional power in the East, he should have 100,000 soldiers in his hands and roar the world, no matter which country the princes are, they will not be afraid. However, for the current monarch of the Qi State, it took less than an hour from watching the situation of the war from a distance to the collapse of the whole army and making it difficult to protect itself.

In the midst of the total collapse, in the chaotic army, Qi Hou's frame was naturally the object of the Wei army's close attention, not to mention that Wei Hou deliberately sent several groups of light soldiers to target Qi Hou.

The guards around Qi Hou became fewer and fewer, and when the chariot hidden by the Wei army chased after him fiercely, the infantry around Qi Hou couldn't resist desperately, so Qi Hou had to urge the coachman to flee alone. At this time, even if Qi Hou wanted to save face again, he knew that he would throw away the handsome flag planted behind the chariot. So, in the end, the vast majority of Qi soldiers didn't know where their prince had fled.

I wanted to speed up and rush back to the camp, there were still tens of thousands of soldiers left, as long as I arrived at the camp, Qi Hou felt that it should be enough for self-preservation, but he didn't want the Wei army to have a wave to the front, forcing Qi Hou to continue to deviate to the south, the more to Vietnam, in desperation, Qi Hou had to order the coachman to turn to the south, if Qi Hou is not mistaken, Puyang City south of dozens of miles away is Pushui, after Pushui, it is the territory of Wei. Qi Hou didn't want to do this, but he could only do so.

Alas, let's talk about it after Pushui, Qi Hou thought so.

But the Wei army obviously didn't want Qi Hou to have any chance, and the few chariots behind were biting Qi Hou's chariot, and at this time, there was only one chauffeur and one lieutenant left on Qi Hou's chariot.

If it weren't for the Wei army wanting to catch it alive, the bow and arrow at this time would have been able to get Qi Hou.

Gritting his teeth helplessly, the captain of Qi Hou and the car had to shout, "Take care!" Then he jumped out of the car.

However, this lieutenant did not enjoy the treatment of the king, he had just jumped out of the car, and before he could rush to the Wei army's chariot, his body was already full of arrows, and he fell down with a glare.

Looking back at this scene, Qi Hou was so frightened that he couldn't help but exclaim, "My life is over!" ”

The chariots behind are getting closer and closer, and this is a lore against Qi Hou.

However, the turning point appeared, after driving through a small forest, Qi Hou actually saw a group of Qi army that ran fast, Qi Hou had to hope for these rout, and drove straight over, and shouted before he got close, "The widow is Qi Hou, wait for me to stop the chasing soldiers behind, hurry up and report the name, and when the widow returns to Linzi, there will be a great reward!" ”

There is also a character in this group of routs, shouting, "I am Bai Cheng, the captain of the former battalion of Dong'a, but it doesn't hurt to go!" ”

So Qi Hou breathed a sigh of relief again and secretly wrote down the name.

However, a moment later, the chariot of the Wei army caught up again, seeing that it was getting closer and closer, and Pu Shui was still out of sight, Qi Hou couldn't help but shout again, "My life is over!" ”

This is not the end, at this time, the chariot under the seat of Qi Hou actually began to shake due to speeding, as if it was about to fall apart.

There was no way to escape in front, there were chasing soldiers behind, and in the vastness, Qi Hou closed his eyes.

However, just as the so-called endless road to heaven, or the history that had long been destined did not allow Qi Hou to die like this, suddenly, there was a voice from afar.

Qi Hou's spirits perked up, and when he listened attentively, this cry actually was, "Your Excellency is not afraid, the end is coming!" ”

Although I couldn't hear whose voice it was, it was a Linzi accent, and then I turned my head to look, the other party was playing the flag of Qi State, Qi Hou finally grabbed the life-saving straw, and urged desperately, "Quick, go to the east." ”

The east side was the source of the sound, but due to the pursuers behind, Qi Hou's chariot could only make a big bend to turn to the east. At this time, the Wei army chariots behind also increased their speed.

This is really a thrilling escape, many years later, when Qi Hou recalled this scene, his heartbeat would be faster, and in fact, it was precisely because of the psychological shadow brought by this escape that Qi Hou never led the troops out again in his life, and even never left Qi again in his life.

However, this time, Qi Hou's luck was good enough, Tian Ji's men and horses were running desperately, and finally rushed into the gap between the pursuers and Qi Hou before the Wei army's chariot caught up with Qi Hou, and Qi Hou was saved.

In fact, the Marquis of Qi was able to hold out until Tian Ji arrived, to a large extent, thanks to an order from the Marquis of Wei, that is, the Marquis of Wei wanted to capture the Marquis of Qi alive, and the chasing generals did not order the arrows to be released at the last moment, otherwise the Marquis of Qi would have died under the arrows.

Tian Ji's soldiers were ruthless, and they crashed into the pursuing chariot one after another, and one after another young lives died in the pain of broken bones all over their bodies, but their deaths were exchanged for the life of the king.

At the same time, Tian Ji's chariot also rushed to Qi Hou's rickety chariot, only to see Tian Ji jump off the chariot and kneel down on one knee, "The king is frightened, and the minister Tian Ji is too late to escort him!" ”

It wasn't until he was helped up to the chariot that Tian Ji was riding in that Qi Hou's horror calmed down a little, and then he looked up and around, as if the majestic monarch had returned. And looking up, the soldiers brought by Tian Ji were fighting desperately in front.

Fortunately, there were only more than 100 Wei soldiers in this group, and in addition to a dozen or so chariots, the remaining infantry was actually tired for a long time. Under the condition that Tian Ji's subordinates fought to the death, and even used their bodies to collide with the opponent's chariot to offset the opponent's speed advantage, this group of Wei soldiers finally couldn't resist, most of them died in battle, and only a small number of people retreated, but after sending a few more people back to report the news, there were still twenty or thirty Wei soldiers hanging behind the Qi army, refusing to leave, obviously the meaning of surveillance was greater.

Tian Jiyi, who was about to leave with the prince, frowned, and after ordering to go down, a group of small fifty people stayed behind, while the remaining six hundred or so people escorted the Marquis of Qi and slowly left into the distance.

Seeing this, Qi Hou's eyes lit up, this young general's mind was delicate, and he also knew how to block the surveillance of the Wei army, and he couldn't help but be curious about this young general who was riding in the same chariot with him.

Hundreds of people left quickly, until there was no longer a single Wei soldier in sight, Qi Hou opened his mouth, "Tian Qing, the army of more than 100,000 people collapsed together, why do you still maintain the system with more than 1,000 people?" ”

"Returning to the king, his subordinates are not the front-line fighting army, but the left-behind army. His subordinate is the grandson of Tian Zhong, the former army general, Tian Ji, who stayed in the military camp a few days ago because of the unfortunate occasional cold. In the past few days, I have been paying attention to the battle situation at the front, and today I suddenly heard that the army collapsed at the front, and the king was nowhere to be found, and his subordinates were anxious, so they led the army out of the barracks without authorization, and asked the king to punish the crime! ”

Tian Ji didn't seem to remember to report his identity until this time, and this statement didn't mention Duan Ganpeng at all, obviously this was mostly due to the latter's instructions, and the latter didn't want to be too famous.

However, when it was said to be a plea, Qi Hou obviously didn't have the slightest meaning, so he just sighed leisurely, "I think that my army of more than 100,000 people retreated in a quarter of an hour, and I still have to rely on a left-behind army to save me, so that I can be freed, otherwise, the widow will become a sinner of Qi country." ”

Indeed, if he was captured by the Wei army, the Marquis of Qi would indeed have no face to see the ancestors of the kings again.

I saw Qi Hou turn his head to Tian Ji again and said, "Aiqing is good at leading the troops, this time it's all up to Tian Qing." Thinking about it carefully, the widow also heard General Tian Zhong talk about you a few days ago, saying that you don't want to be motivated, and you are afraid of war and refuse to go into battle, the old general regretted it for a while, but now it seems that Aiqing is a good hand in leading the troops. Hey, it's a pity that General Tian personally led the army to resist the rout, which will most likely not be spared. ”

Hearing Qi Hou's sigh, Tian Ji's heart suddenly felt like a hammer, and the tears were left unconsciously, but soon Tian Ji wiped away his tears and diverted the topic.

"Your Majesty, where are we going now?"

"How's it going over there?" Qi Hou looked forward and asked, but soon Qi Hou shook his head again, "Under the impact of more than 100,000 routed soldiers, the more than 10,000 soldiers left in the barracks, if they can save their lives, it will be a blessing, the barracks can't go back, even if there is a barracks, it's useless." Let's go east, either to Zhencheng or to Maling, so that we can defend the city and resist the Wei army. ”

It can be seen that Qi Hou at this time has a rare and clear mind.

This monarch and minister spoke, and did not walk for long, but they encountered a group of Wei soldiers who were not afraid of death, and this time after leaving dozens of people behind, there were less than 400 people left around Qi Hou and Tian Ji.

Unexpectedly, after another quarter of an hour passed, there were only more than 200 people left, and I don't know how many people Wei Hou sent to the south of the battlefield to find them, and even I don't know how many Qi troops they solved in the south of the battlefield, so that along the way, Tian Ji and the others did not meet a single Qi soldier, and all they met were Wei soldiers.

Tian Ji suddenly panicked, if he continued like this, his remaining troops would not be enough to protect the safety of the monarch. Suddenly, Tian Ji remembered Duan Ganpeng's words again,

"If the Wei army is too anxious to chase and kill the king, it must be the king's armor or robe that attracts the Wei army, you can persuade the king to change to an ordinary soldier to wear, and then make a person who is close to the king wear the king's armor, you can lead away the Wei army's pursuers, and the king can return safely."

Thinking of this, Tian Ji suddenly patted his head, and after seeing Jun Shang, he was in a mood for a while, if it was so important, why didn't he think about it for a long time?

So Tian Ji immediately had the courage to mention the idea to Qi Hou, but he didn't expect Qi Hou to immediately nod and agree.

At that moment, Tian Ji did not dare to delay, and moved the army to a small forest, and soon selected a person with a similar figure to the Marquis of Qi, and he wanted to exchange armor.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a scream suddenly came from the distance, and the agile Qi soldiers climbed a tall tree to look, but saw a chariot running in the distance, and dozens of soldiers following the chariot.

This critical moment when Qi Hou changed his clothes couldn't be seen, so Tian Ji urged Jun Shang to move faster, and at the same time sent eighty people to stop it. In Tian Ji's opinion, the people who rushed over at this time were either their own people or enemy soldiers, and they originally wanted to send more people to stop them, but after all, there were only two hundred people around Tian Ji.

The eighty people rushed over, and soon the two sides were about to approach, but at this time, the little soldier who was looking into the distance suddenly shouted, "Zhou, it's the Zhou flag, and the big flag is written on the Zhou character!" ”

Zhou, isn't that a member of the Zhou royal family? It's not Wei Bing, so do you want to kill it? Tian Ji's heart hesitated for a while, but soon Tian Ji made up his mind, what about the people of the royal family, they began to be killed hundreds of years ago, and they didn't see anything, and their own princes obviously came to save the royal family, but they didn't want the other party to make perjury for Wei Hou, thinking of this Tian Ji was angry, so he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Kill them all, don't leave any of them." ”

Like every person in the vassal states of this era, Tian Ji also has a kind of contempt or contempt for the people of the royal family, if it is a Wei soldier, Tian Ji will only order to block it, and the royal family, Tian Ji thinks that although he will pay the price, it should not be a problem to kill them all.

But only half a quarter of an hour later, Tian Ji's eyes were about to pop out. It turned out that the person who dialed the banner of Zhou Wang was too capable of fighting, and with a few face-to-face efforts, he put down a third of the Qi soldiers, especially the chariot, rushing back and forth, a halberd, waving in all directions, and no one in the Qi soldiers parried.

What's going on, is it because your own people are too vegetable? Tian Ji's face turned green, but he vaguely seemed to hear the other party shouting something.

Just when Tian Ji was hesitating to increase his troops, the Qi soldiers in front fell a few more, and at this moment, a voice sounded from behind Tian Ji.

"Tian Qing, let your people come back, the other party seems to have something to say to us." Tian Ji looked back and saw that he was an ordinary soldier, but when he looked closely, it turned out that the king had already changed his clothes.

"No!" In fact, Tian Ji also had this idea, and when he heard what Jun said, he immediately recruited his subordinates back, and after a while, his own people only came back more than forty, and only one of the other party fell.

The formation was set, and the remaining less than two hundred people escorted the little soldier who pretended to be the Marquis of Qi and slowly approached the people of the royal family.

As soon as he approached, he saw a young general on the chariot opposite, and when he saw this side approaching, he panted and scolded, "Why don't you wait for the Qi people to listen to me, and when you come up, you will fight, am I really a bully?" ”

Hearing this, Tian Ji, who was on the chariot, looked back at Qi Hou who was hiding in the crowd, and after seeing him nodding, he turned his head and shouted, "Who are you?" What do you have to say? ”

"I am Fan Yuye, the eldest son of Zhou Tianzi's personal guard, and I came to look for the Marquis of Qi on the order of the king, just because my king has something to say to the Marquis of Qi." Saying that, Fan Yu leveled the halberd in his hand, bent down and bowed to the little soldier pretending to be Qi Hou on the chariot, and the latter was very panicked.

However, because Fan Yu lowered his head, he didn't see the abnormality of the "Qi Hou", and after Fan Yu straightened up, Tian Ji immediately opened his mouth, "If you have something to say, just say it!" ”
