The East is not clear, and the clothes are turned upside down. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info upside down, from the public call......
The East is not dawning, and the clothes are reversed. Upside down, self-ordered......
- Qi Feng. The Unclear Orient
When he was woken up by his colleagues, the man guarding the door was sleeping to death, he muttered and cursed, and wanted to turn over and continue to sleep as usual, but was kicked several times by the doorman of Linzi Jimen.
"What time is it, still sleeping!" The gatekeeper smiled at his boss and glared at them with a fierce look, and the men got up in a hurry, and hurriedly put on their clothes upside down.
"Put the drawbridge and open the door!"
He was kicked several times in the ribs, and it still hurts, and he turned the turntable of the suspension bridge while looking back at the east, the east is not clear, and the city of Linzi is dim.
"It's not dawn yet...... "It's wartime now, and Linzi's city defense is much stricter than before, but why is it opening so early today?"
The people of Yan took it upon themselves to come to the city wall and looked down at the city, but they saw that outside the moat, there were more than a thousand soldiers under the black pressure, and under the torches, there were black blood clots on their faces, and their hair and beard were full of dust. Those people were clustered around a black-robed general, apparently the dead soldier he had raised.
The people were shocked and didn't dare to look at it again, this group of people had obviously just experienced a bloody battle and trekked back, as for where they came back, could it be Jinan?
Don't let anyone think too much, the gate has been opened, and under the leadership of a black-robed general, more than a thousand remnants of the defeated soldiers will rush in, and then the city gate will be quickly closed.
At this moment, the East is still unknown.
……
The black-robed general in the car was Chen Heng.
It turned out that the battle of Jishui, which started in Jinan five days ago, went through several twists and turns, first Chen deliberately deployed heavy troops in shallow water, and deliberately did not defend in deep water, luring Zhao Jun to cross the river from deep water, and Zhao Wuxian really hit the plan.
However, the Zhao army was too brave, and before Chen Heng, who had just woken up from a nap, mobilized soldiers from other positions to come to support, Tian Ben and his hundreds of shirtless dead soldiers had already defeated the shore guards and occupied a bridgehead for the Zhao army.
But they were immediately stopped by the thousands of Qi troops who rushed in, after all, the mud on the shore was slippery, and it was difficult to gain a foothold, and they were shot by the Qi people on the shore with arrows, and the unarmored dead soldiers were immediately killed and wounded.
At this time, the battle has begun, both sides are no longer hiding, for a while, both sides of the Jishui are dense torches, the Zhao army on the north bank is a sea of fire, and the Qi army on the south bank is a fire snake that continues to rush to help, Chen Heng knows that success or failure is in this move, almost all the soldiers and people under the past poured out, he issued a military order, do not need to drive the Zhao army down the river.
For the Zhao army, the situation was initially a little unfavorable, because the river was too muddy, inconvenient to walk, could not send too many people to cross the river at the same time, in addition to Tian Ben's 3,000 dead soldiers, there were nearly 10,000 people who crossed the river to help, but the Chen family soldiers who were ambushed on the other side of the river were very fierce, most of them were wearing armor, and the battle was extremely brave, and ordinary Qi people and people were not the same, and they would rather die than retreat, so the Zhao army failed to cross the three times, but the dead soldiers on the other side fought less and less.
However, the main force of the Qi army is delaying here, but it is not guarded against the left and right ten miles away from this water, the two divisions of the Zhao army have successfully crossed the river, and there are national secretaries, Gao Wupi and other Qi people in the army, and they are more clear about the terrain and geography.
Although the Qi people fought until Tianming successfully drove Tian Ben and all the dead soldiers off the river, and also prevented Zhao Wuxian from crossing to the south, he was extremely tired and was attacked from the rear by two detachments.
Chen Heng, who was in the past, saw that the general trend had gone, and did not make more resistance, and fled directly with the chariot soldiers out of the northeast of the city, walking for three days and three nights in a row, and finally returned to Linzi.
At this moment, the news of the defeat in Jinan has not yet reached Linzi, and most of the people here are still asleep, but their parents will dream of their children and grandchildren who are away from home, and their wives and daughters will toss and turn, worrying about their husbands and brothers who serve the Chen family......
When he finally stepped into this city that he was very familiar with, the more than 1,000 remnants of the defeated soldiers thought that they had escaped alive and did not have to be buried in Jinan, and it was difficult to suppress their emotions for a while, or they looked up to the sky and cried, or they hid their faces and wept, but the experienced and sleek Chen Heng did not say a word, but drove forward silently.
Linzi is one of the most prosperous capitals in the nations, including two parts, the big city and the small city, the small city is the palace city where the monarch lives, in the southwest of Linzi, the big city is the Guo city where officials, commoners and merchants live, in the northeast, the two cities are closely connected. Now Chen Heng enters from the Jimen in the southwest, and he can enter the city along the main road and go directly to the Chen family's mansion.
After the expulsion of the Guo, Gao, and Yan clans, the main body of the Chen clan had migrated to Linzi, and after Chen Qi became the ruler, he said to Yan Ji and the Qi Marquis: "The implementation of kindness is what the people want, and it is up to the king to carry it out; Punishment is disgusting, please let the ministers carry it out. After five years of doing this, the power of Qi was controlled by the Chen family, and Linzi was only the head of the Chen family. After the elimination of the Bao family, the Chen family is now the only secretary of the Qi state, and its mansion includes the entire official office area, which not only has tall walls, but also stables, school yards, and warehouses, like a new palace city.
Chen Heng sent someone to come to report as early as yesterday, Chen Fu had learned the news of the war in Jinan and his return from abandoning the army, the outside of the mansion was heavily guarded, and the people in the mansion were also panicked, Chen Heng didn't care about those, and he didn't have time to take off his armor, so he went straight to the inner hall to meet his father Chen Qi.
……
Sitting on the terrace, looking at Linzi City in the east, Chen Qi was silent for a long time, and suddenly commented in a tired voice.
"It's my son who has returned."
Indeed, at the other end of the hall, there was the sound of brass nails of boots trampling on wooden planks, like the beat of a drum, and no one dared to enter here without taking off their shoes, except for Chen's closest relatives. But this kind of stride, hurried, and irritable pace is not like Chen Heng's usual style.
But since the head of the family had an order, the clansman Chen Bao hurriedly came over, supported Chen Qi, and returned to the living room from the terrace.
Under the candlelight, Chen Qi is no longer the shrewd and capable middle-aged secretary more than ten years ago, he is sixty years old, because he is worried about state affairs and family affairs, the lamp withers very quickly, and unfortunately has the rheumatism that people often have, it is almost difficult to move, and the whole person is described as withered. Therefore, the affairs of going abroad and forming alliances over the years have been handled by Chen Heng.
At this moment, he was wearing only a single suit, and he was sitting tiredly indoors waiting for his son to return.
"Father......" When he stepped into the Ming Hall and saw the face of his old father, Chen Heng couldn't hold back anymore. He bowed down to the ground suddenly, and when he looked up again after a long time, without warning, a crystal teardrop rushed out of Chen Heng's eyes, and without the slightest hesitation, he slid down the skin, and the speed of the slide was very slow. Because the teardrops were so light, they were so light that even Chen Heng himself didn't notice it.
Chen Qi noticed it, he let Chen Bao go down, beckoned his son to come over, wiped away the weak tears for him, pursed his lips, and reprimanded: "Victory and defeat are impermanent, but how can the tears of men fall lightly, the old decay is not dead, and it is not the turn of the children to cry for me!" ”
Chen Heng realized that he had lost his temper, and hurriedly wiped his face with his dirty sleeves, and then quickly talked about the war in Jinan, and then went down and said: "The kid lost his teacher and lost his land, humiliated the Qi country, insulted the Chen family, and deserved to be killed in the family temple." But father, it is the gateway to Linzi, and now the north and south of Jishui have been captured, and the Great Wall has also been broken through by the Lu people, and the west, south and north of Qi have been unable to hold, and when Zhao Wuxian's army arrives, Linzi is also in danger......"
Chen begged his son and said with a wry smile: "This is the destiny of heaven, and it is not a fault of war." The state of Qi was doomed as early as ten years ago, several attempts to form an alliance against Zhao were unsuccessful, Qin, Zheng, Wei, and Wu were defeated one after another, and Chu did not dare to be an enemy of Zhao. Now Zhao Wuxian is in his prime, begging for peace for his father several times, saying that Qi can return Yiyi and Ju, and even cede Jibei, but they are all refused. Zhao Wuxian hates the Qi country and my Chen family, and it will be destroyed quickly...... Now, is there anything else I can do? ”
He wasn't blaming Chen Heng for being enemies with Zhao Wuxian, this was originally a national policy planned by the father and son together, if it weren't for Chen Heng running all over the world and making allies, I was afraid that Qi would have been attacked by Zhao Wuxian five years ago.
Chen Heng really has a plan.
"The matter has come to this, whether it is to resist in the lonely city, or to give up surrendering, it is a dead end, in my opinion, it is better to give up Linzi and move east!"
"Oriental?" Chen Qi looked at Chen Heng thoughtfully.
"Yes, in the east of Linzi, there are Gaomi and Weishui, and further east there is Donglai. Although Jiaodong and Jiaoxi are small, there are hundreds of miles of land, which is secluded in the east, three sides away from the sea, good at fish and salt, with a population of 500,000. Moreover, the hills are vertical and horizontal, close to the seashore, easy to defend and difficult to attack, enough for the Chen family to settle down! ”
This is Chen Heng on the way to escape carefully thought, Chen Qi after sitting on the big seat, divided the Qi State from the east of Anping to Donglai's land, as his own fiefdom, this area also includes Donglai, that is, the Jiaodong Peninsula in later generations, in the past was the country of Laiyi, sixty years ago was conquered by the Qi State, Chen contributed a lot in that war, and also had a certain ruling base in Donglai.
"Donglai ......" Chen Qi got up from the couch with difficulty, and after walking a few steps melancholy, he sighed: "With Gaomi and Weishui alone, I'm afraid that I still can't stop Zhao Lu's 100,000 army......"
"But at least, escaping into Donglai is the last hope of the Chen family!"
Chen Qi seemed to return to the light, and his originally rickety body also stood up, and immediately ordered Chen Heng: "You quickly gather the clansmen, and don't want to be burdened with property, take advantage of the fact that the main force of the Zhao army has not yet come from Jinan and the Great Wall, go east to Gaomi, and withdraw to Donglai!" ”
"Boy, let's do it!" The haze of Jinan's defeat was also swept away, for Chen Heng, no matter how many people died, as long as his Chen family temple did not fall, everything was worth it.
But after walking a few steps, he realized what Chen Qi meant, looked back and asked, "What about my father?" ”
Chen Qi shook his head helplessly: "I have run out of oil, and I can't get out of Linzi at all, let alone go to the East." ”
"Isn't it possible for my father to stay in Linzi!?" Chen Hengda was shocked.
"As Qi Qing, as the head of the Chen family, I should naturally stay where I should be, even if the soldiers are under the city, even if the axe is added, I should not avoid it."
Chen Qi's words sound so sad, so tired, and so weak, but he has the pride of being the secretary of a big country and a traitor who steals the country!
"A generation has a life, and the era of being a father has come to an end, and you are different, you are still young, you are full of strategy, and you have won the hearts of the warriors of the Qi country, even if you are forced to such a situation, you have never bowed your head to him Zhao Wuxian, you should succeed as the head of the Chen family, and continue to walk with the clansmen!"
Chen Qi shook his son's hand and handed him a mysterious turtle strategy that had been passed down by the Chen family for six generations, with a few lines densely written on it.
"My son, you immediately go to Gaomi, cross the Weishui and Jiaolai rivers, and escape into Donglai. You must remember that if you can let the Chen family continue for a longer period of time, whether it is a few months, or a few years, as long as there is a glimmer of hope for the continuation of the family, you cannot give up! ”
