Chapter 881: Under the City of Shaoliang
PS: There is still a chapter at half past eleven
Tian Ben woke up a little dazed, he didn't remember what happened after he returned from injury, he only remembered that someone handed over wine, and he caught it and poured it into his mouth, the taste was weird, maybe he wanted to forget the pain of the wound, he still drank it dry. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Then he fainted, and when he woke up, it was dark, and he was changing his dressing, and the damn shaft of the arrow on his chest was gone.
This also indirectly shows that the anesthetic configured by Bian Que is so strong that it can make an eight-foot strong man unable to wake up.
Even though the wound had been treated, Tian Ben could still feel as if there was a flame sprout licking at his chest, his flesh withering in the flames, he had been injured often in the past, but he had never tasted such pain, so close to death.
Yu Kuo stretched out a finger to pull the wound, and the pus and blood gushing out made him wrinkle his nose, and Tian Ben was also gritting his teeth and enduring the pain.
"Shi Shuai's life is staying, but there is no way to prevent the infection of the fine Gu, the rot will spread, and the flesh near the wound has deteriorated and must be removed."
Compared with before, this is just a simple treatment, first cleaned with boiling wine, and then used a knife to dig up the rot sores, Tian Ben screamed loudly, and hammered the bed desperately with both hands, again, again, again, the aftermath was finally over, and Yu Kuo applied Bian Que a medicine paste specializing in the treatment of gold sores to him, and instructed: "The medicine is changed every day, and these days you need to rest indoors, and you must not move." ”
Let the active Tian Ben lie down well, it is more uncomfortable than killing him, but because of the injury and the high fever that is gradually heating up, he has no strength to toss, so he can only obediently close his eyes.
Faintly, he heard Yu Kuo whispering to someone at the door: "It's a complication after the operation, it's not serious, but it's not accurate, I can only hope that his body can carry it." ”
"Is it the Lord?" Tian Ben struggled to get up, but was pressed back by the Yulin guards sent to guard him, and the sound of talking outside disappeared, everything seemed to be his hallucination.
Tian Ben had already learned that it was Zhao Wuxian who gave him a blood transfusion regardless of his daughter's body to renew his life, Tian Ben was already loyal to the Zhao family, and when he heard that his life was exchanged for blood by the lord, he was even more grateful.
"The grace of the lord, even if I die, I can't repay it......"
For the next few days, he remained half-asleep, occasionally hearing the march and the rallying horn, and after years of military life, he subconsciously jumped to his feet, and was about to take his sword, but fell back weakly.
His high fever never subsided, but the wound gradually healed, and by about the fifth day, he finally announced that he was in no danger and could go out. Tian Ben waited very impatiently, and immediately rushed out of the camp, but saw that the landing point by the river was no longer densely packed with Zhao troops, only some soldiers, and there were constantly crying and crying people from all directions who were escorted by them, and went to the other bank from the pontoon bridge, looking at the clothes of those people, it should be the people of the Hexi region.
"Where are these people going to be taken?"
Someone recognized him, and there was more longing and admiration in their eyes than in the past, because Tian Ben was saved by Shangqing's blood, and they replied, "I want to send it to Lou County." ”
Lou County is the closest Zhao clan territory to Hexi, but it is also two hundred miles away, and the hardships along the way are enough for these people in Hexi.
"Where is the Lord?" After Tian Ben went around and found that the combat troops had basically left, he was afraid that he would miss the battle, so he hurriedly walked back and asked the subordinates who were guarding him.
"The lord is in Shaoliang......"
Tian Ben was shocked: "Shaoliang was laid down so quickly!?" ”
……
When Tian Ben came to Shaoliang, he realized that it was not Shaoliang that was captured, but more than 10,000 people of the Zhao army who built a mountain in front of Shaoliang City, set up camp, and confronted the heavily guarded city.
Half of the Zhi's troops are here, and the Qin State also sent troops from Yongdi, totaling eight thousand, a few days ago when the Zhao army forcibly crossed the Dragon Gate, there were still seven thousand guards in the city, and the total number of Zhao troops was not more than 10,000, according to the theory of ten sieges, it was not possible to surround the city side.
Zhao Wuxian was not in a hurry, he let the cavalry go around to plunder the population, escorted to the Zhao territory Lou County, the countryside around Shaoliang was suddenly empty, nearly 10,000 people in the last year with the Zhi clan to Qin, after changing their nationality, now forced to return to the "homeland".
At the same time, he also asked Lu Ban to work day and night with his craftsmen, and the tall siege towers, as well as the deeper, taller trebuchets were slowly being built, and once completed, they would be three feet high! It is the most eye-catching building between the barracks of the Zhao army.
Just as Zhao Wuxian was bathed in the afterglow of the sunset under the wooden mechanical monster, looking at Shaoliang City, which seemed to be in his palm, Tian Ben ran over to plead guilty.
The white blood-oozing bandage bound his chest, and a bundle of thorny thorns was tied with a rope on his back. ”
Zhao Wuxian didn't pretend to be colored because of the injuries on his body, and he didn't look back, and said coldly: "If you die like this, I have to sacrifice you and Wu Jing together as the loyal soul of Yuntai, and now that you are not dead, the living crime is inevitable, where is the judge?" ”
With a grim face, the military judge wearing a black hedgehog officer came over, and Zhao Wuxian pointed to his nose and announced Tian Ben's guilt.
"What is the crime of not obeying the general's orders, being greedy for merit, being defeated in an ambush, and losing more than 100 soldiers?"
"Those who commit serious crimes should be beheaded! The second is to deprive them of their positions and titles, and to atone for their sins with money and food. ”
Zhao Wuxian quickly made a decision: "Nian has made outstanding achievements in the past, spare you from death, from today on, remove Tian Ben from the post of marshal, demote the lord of the doctor to sergeant, and confiscate all his land and mansions in Lu State." ”
Righteousness is righteousness, punishment is punishment, and there is a clear distinction between public and private.
Tian Ben was convinced, and said again: "Even if Tian Ben is a soldier again, he is willing to be the monarch's pawn." ”
He raised his head and looked at Shaoliang, the city that humiliated him, and asked Zhan to say: "If the lord attacks Shaoliang, Tian Ben is willing to be the vanguard and go to the city first!" Kill the enemy and atone for your shame! ”
Zhao Wuxian looked at him and said, "As far as your injury is concerned, I'm afraid that I will add another merit to the enemy army, so let's go back and recuperate first, not to mention ......."
He looked at the long shadow of the Shaoliang city wall outlined by the setting sun, stretched out his hand and patted the trebuchet that had only been half built, and said with a smile: "The striker is ambushed, and I am also the fault of being anxious to underestimate the enemy, the Zhao family has its own bow and crossbow machinery, since the Qin people are tenacious, why bother to fight with them." Besides, the guests we are waiting for have not yet arrived, and the "dishes" of the "banquet" have not yet been prepared, so for the time being, let the rest of the Zhishi in Shaoliang City survive for a while, and after ten days, it will not be too late to attack! ”
……
"Zhao Wuxian is under the city of Shaoliang and will not advance again?"
When he heard the news, Pu, the eldest son of the Qin State, was overjoyed.
The place where Zipu Jiangqi is located is called "Zheng County" (Huaxian County, Shaanxi), which is the hometown of Zheng Guoren, and the place where Zheng Huan Gong was originally entitled, also called "West Zheng", to distinguish it from Xinzheng in Henan and Nanzheng in Hanzhong.
This place is based on Taihua Mountain in front, and then borders Jingshui and Weihe, controls the Peach Forest Fortress on the left, and blocks the Lantian Pass on the right, which is the mouthpiece of the eastern part of the Qin State, and the place where the winner must come out with troops, Zipu chose this place as the Qin army's assembly place, with far-reaching intentions, to the north, he can support Shaoliang and Dali, to the east, and can also flank the Wei army from the south of Fenglingdu with the defenders of the Peach Forest Fortress.
But now, the Qin State is in a dilemma: first, more than 20,000 Wei troops forcibly crossed Puban and captured the "Wangcheng" by the river, and then marched towards the southern stronghold of the Zhi clan "Fu Clan", as long as the Fu clan is uprooted, Dali City will be exposed to their edge!
On the other hand, more than 10,000 people of the Zhao clan also crossed the Longmen, defeated the riverbank defenders led by Zuo Shuchang and Zhiguo, and advanced to Shaoliang. At the same time, Wei Han also attacked Taolinsai from the east and west sides of Fenglingdu and the pillar, hoping to open up this dangerous road.
The Jin people attacked Qin in three ways, but Zipu could only transfer 30,000 troops from Yongdu and various counties, and Hexi was of course to be defended, but the question was where to put the troops? It became the commander-in-chief's most difficult choice.
The Peach Forest Fortress is good to say, the terrain there is dangerous, a husband is a pass and ten thousand people are not open, the Qin people also took advantage of the Jin civil war, the river outside the ownerless time to seize, just built a little pass, the Jin people came. There can be placed for Wei Han to besiege and contain their troops, and the main battlefields are still Shaoliang and Dali.
Now that he heard that the Zhao clan was under the city of Shaoliang, Zipu was suddenly overjoyed, and the brows that had been twisted into knots a few days ago were also untied.
Because Qin Boning was unwell and could not be recruited in person, Zhou, the prince of Qin, who was with the army to motivate the soldiers, asked: "Chief, do you want to save Shaoliang?" ”
Zipu restrained his expression and said, "Why does the prince think so? ”
Qin Guoshu is quite powerful, and the prince also has to give three points, the prince said: "The boy has heard that Shaoliang is the pillar of the heart of Hexi, and if Shaoliang is lost, Hexi will not be ......"
The prince's knowledge is limited...... Zipu sighed in his heart, how many years has the Qin State not had a British lord like Xianggong, Wen Gong, and Mu Gong, Qin Junning is mediocre, even the prince is not outstanding, he is already more than fifty years old, can he still escort the Qin State for a few years? Without him and Zihu's generation, will the future Qin State be completely suppressed and beaten by the Jin State and fall into a situation of poverty and weakness?
But in any case, we have to carry this big crisis through first, so that Qin can have a future!
He smiled and said: "The prince is not wrong in what he said, Shaoliang is indeed the most populated city in Hexi, and whoever gets Shaoliang is equivalent to getting half of Hexi." But the crown prince, there are Zhiguo and Zuo Shuchang, and the Zhao army wants to capture Shaoliang, but I am afraid that it will not be so easy, and they did not make a detour to attack Dali with the Wei army, which shows that there is a gap between the three Qing Dynasty of the Jin Kingdom. In addition, the fortress of the peach forest could not be attacked for a long time, and the main force of the Wei army went deep into Hexi alone, if it could be annihilated, the offensive of the Jin people would retreat, after all, attacking Hexi was only beneficial to the Wei family, why should Zhao Han bother to make profits for others? ”
Prince Zhou suddenly realized, but he didn't know that there was another reason why Zipu didn't say it clearly.
Originally, after Zipu returned from the battlefield victory of Chu State, he felt that he had defeated Sun Wu, Wu Wang Lu, and Wu Zixu, and the best soldier in the world was also defeated by the five hundred Qin divisions.
Who would have thought that since ten years ago, there has been a name that has been echoing in his ears, Zhao Wuxian, Zhao Wuxian, Zhao Wuxian...... There were very few people mentioned at first, but gradually, as his power grew and he won more and more battles, everyone was talking about this new head of the Zhao family, the new Shangqing of the Jin Kingdom. Zipu also felt pressure, he knew that he had an extra strong opponent who was much younger than himself in his lifetime!
Now, he is here, and he is under Shaoliang City.
Zipu would rather lead the main force to a decisive battle with the Wei army than go to Shaoliang to touch the Zhao family's moldy head, after all, the aura of the Zhao family's military pawns "invincible in the field" is too dazzling, compared to it, Wei Han has become a soft persimmon, which is easier to handle.
However, Zhao Jun also has a reputation of "conquering everything", Shaoliang, can he hold it?
No longer thinking about these useless things, Zipu slammed his sword into the map, where Jingshui turned: "The army will march east on the same day, force the Wei army, or retreat to Puban!" Or a decisive battle with Qin in Dali! ”
