Chapter 761: Descent (I)

"Surrender?"

After hearing these two words, Gao Wupi was a little incredible.

At this time, it had been half an hour before the battle had stopped, and the front had calmed down.

After the Gao Wupi tribe was annihilated in the trap, and the Gongzi Yangsheng Department turned around and fled, the Qi people were defeated like a mountain, and the general trend had already gone.

Many Qi people ran towards Wenshui desperately, trying to swim across the battlefield to escape the battlefield, but most of them could not squeeze into the back and could only be left on the battlefield. Only a moment later, they found that they were actually lucky not to cross the river, there was a Zhao army on the other side of the Wenshui at some point, there were quite a few of them, half of the defeated soldiers who crossed the river were captured, half were shot alive in the water, and for a time the clear Wenshui turned red......

Seeing that there was no way back, there were constantly sporadic squads of Qi people to surrender, but most of them were still subconsciously concentrated around Guoxia's Chinese army. There was no way out on all sides, and the 30,000 Qi people were surrounded by more than 20,000 Zhao soldiers, surrounded in a small area, and the chariot base that had protected them earlier had now become a wall for the Zhao clan to besiege them, and the crossbow machines and bows were all over the wooden wall, and the Qi people did not have ballistas or trebuchets to destroy them, and they were physically and mentally exhausted under the constant harassment of the Zhao army.

"The casualties of the Qi people are not heavy, the trapped beasts are still fighting, if they are forced to fight to the death, it is the most terrible ......" Zhao Wuxian's subordinates did not dare to look down on the Qi people at all, after all, they had a huge number, so Zhao Wuxian planned to let Gao Wupi, the son of the Gao clan who had just been captured, enter and let Guoxia surrender.

Gao Wupi's arm was injured, and he was slammed open by a ring-headed knife, and the Lingque military doctor of the Zhao clan who accompanied the army treated him briefly, and the bleeding stopped, but the young Gao prince was still pale.

Although he was not very good at fighting, he did not lose the dignity of the Qing clan after being captured, and after being escorted to Zhao Wuxian's side, he blinked and stared at him curiously, but he quickly looked away and saluted Wuxian. The family style of the second year of national high school for hundreds of years is not comparable to the kind of uneducated son Yangsheng who has lost his education since childhood.

At least in the body of the State and Gao Erqing, Zhao Wuxian can still see a trace of the "aristocratic temperament" that is not much left.

When he heard Zhao Wuxian say that he would let him go to Qi to persuade Guoxia to surrender, Gao Wupi's eyes were full of suspicion.

"The country will not descend ......" He did not beg for mercy, but still repeated this sentence.

Zhao Wuxian said: "Guozi has already lost, that's right, his clan soldiers are very brave, and even blocked several attacks by my soldiers, but the general trend has gone, the Qi army has been surrounded, and Guozi, as the commander, must make decisions for the lives of tens of thousands of people under his command." Surrender is his only option"

Gao Wupi seemed to be a little shaken, he stared at Zhao Wuxian, "If you surrender, can the general let the country go and let me go?" ”

"The second shou of the national high school is the secretary of Qi State, and I am also the secretary of Lu State, the Zhao family has had a friendship with the ancestors of the second secretary for generations, and the alliance has given poems and toasts many times, and it is okay for me to call the two brothers in the world. The son of the country can descend to me as a secretary, and I should treat him with the courtesy of the Qing family. ”

"What about the others......

"As long as the prince surrenders, I will guarantee the lives of tens of thousands of people under his command, of course, those who cause massacres in Lu are not included......" Zhao Wuxian persuaded and tempted Gao Wupi, Xilu's account, and waited for the Qi army to surrender, anyway, the biggest war criminal Gongzi Yangsheng had been captured on the other side, Tian Ben happily sent someone over to report the merits, for fear of being robbed by the Song people, which made Zhao Wuxian cry and laugh.

Gao Wupi raised his head and squeezed out a smile: "What if the prince of the country is unwilling to surrender...... General Zhao Hugh wants to think so low of all Qi people because of me, the general of the defeated army. Guozi is a proud man, he said that if he wants to die, he would rather hold the long sword stained with the blood of Zhao Zu and die standing up! ”

"I believe that Guozi can do it, if it weren't for this, he would not have given up the opportunity to cross the river and escape, but he burned the pontoon bridge and turned around and lined up with his back." It can be seen that this young man is full of reverence and emulation for Guoxia.

But this is useless, Zhao Wuxian shook his head and said, "It's a pity that he lost the bet......"

After getting the promise, Gao Wupi's heart has loosened a lot, but he doesn't know the bottom in his heart, Guoxia has always been a person who is not easy to succumb.

"I believe in the general's sincerity, but I still can't convince the country."

"You have to convince him!" Zhao Wuxian did not allow Gao Wubi to flinch, and his words carried a hint of command.

"Why? Even if they fight again, the Zhao army will suffer heavy casualties! Gao Wupi rebelled.

Do you have to say it directly? Zhao Wuxian glanced around, except for the expressionless black-clothed guard, only a blind young historian knelt on the side to record these conversations, he was the "treasure" that Wuxian accidentally picked up when he passed by Zhongdu this time, although his eyes were blind, his heart was not blind.

Let him listen, let him remember, Zhao Wuxian suddenly felt that it didn't matter, let the next paragraph stay in the history, let future generations know that he, Zhao Wuxian, is a person with poetry and books in his left hand and a long sword in his right hand!

He smiled, and smiled kindly.

"Takato, you have fought with my army, and you have seen flying stones, crossbow arrows, phalanxes of warriors, and sabre-wielding cavalry. Just one word from me, the offensive will continue, and thousands of people will die - don't have any illusions that the beasts are still fighting, the vast majority of the dead will be soldiers of the country, Gao Erqing and the office, and the Zhao army will slaughter the Qi people to the point of softness. The first attack would consist of hundreds of flying stones, then arrows captured from your positions, and finally fire, armor, chariots, spear handles, and clothes, and countless things that could be used to light fire. After the Qi people were beaten so hard that they didn't dare to raise their heads, they were so tired that they couldn't even lift their shields, and most of them were burned to death, my warrior phalanx would attack. They will crush the scattered Qi people and force you and the others into Wenshui, while there are nearly 10,000 people waiting on the other side with weapons. After this battle, the Qi people will all be killed, or drowned, or buried alive, I will also cut off their heads, build a big Jingguan on the north bank of Wenshui, so that the whole territory of the Qi people is Su, let the Chen family return to Qi coup, destroy the country, Gao Erqing's family temple effortlessly, I will even give them help and recognition. After the deed is completed, the world will not remember the glory of the country and the second year of high school! I will only remember the shame of Guoxia and Gao Wupi's loss of teachers! ”

Zhao Wuxian stood up and approached him under Gao Wupi's frightened gaze: "Even so, I keep my word, you will still be sent to the Qi army, I will cut off your head, shoot it out with a ballista, and return it to Guoxia!" ”

There was a rustling sound, and even the black-clothed guards who were guarding the side were surprised by Zhao Wuxian's aggressiveness, but the blind historian didn't miss a word, and quickly recorded the words in his hand.

Zhao Wuxian patted Gao Wupi on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "The prospect is too terrifying, isn't it?" But I'm a person who salutes first and then soldiers, in order to avoid all this, I gave you the opportunity to persuade the prince to surrender, Gaozi, you, you have to grasp it! ”

Silence, not only the injured arm, Gao Wupi's whole body was trembling, and after a while, he stared at his arm tied with a clean linen, nodded heavily and said: "Only, I will go back, go back and try my best to persuade the prince of the country to ......"

……

After Gao Wupi left, Zhao Wuxian walked to the young historian who was struggling to write a book with his hands behind his back. He was in his twenties, with a faint beard under his chin, and although he was blind, he wrote very quickly, and his words were written on bamboo paper almost word for word, and the words were still neat, but habitually deviated to the upper right, which looked strange.

It is said that this person once listened to a lecture in the apricot forest where Confucius taught, but left without formally apprenticing to the teacher. He also worked as a clerk in the county temple of Fei County, but he resigned and returned home soon after.

When the Qi people entered Lu, they destroyed the farm house he relied on for a living, and he went to Zhongdu to beg for food, and was met by Zhao Wuxian, who was passing by, and only listened to the name of this person, and Wuxian decided to take him with him.

The officials of the Zhao clan were very strange, why did Zhao Wuxian do this? The counselors who can be by his side are all the best among the diners and retainers, this blind man, how can he be virtuous!?

Wuxian explained at the time: "All the profound state and secretary of state must have a national history and family history, and this war is a rare war, so I hope he can write it down in detail so that future generations can know what happened today." ”

"But why him? The deaf and clear-sighted people under the command of the general do not know how many people ...... "There are still people who are not convinced."

Zhao Wuxian smiled mysteriously: "Give him a chance, I think this person can become a good history for compiling my Zhao family's history in the future." “

Looking at it today, Zhao Wuxian was really not disappointed.

He looked at the content on the bamboo paper and said: "I remember it well, I don't shy away from it, I don't speculate, I tell the truth, and the narrative is rigorous, the writing is excellent, and it is very popular to read, I seem to see this battle repeated." You can't see the scene, but you can describe it in an immersive way, and what is more valuable is that it doesn't deviate from the facts, how do you do it? ”

The blind young man raised his head, his eyes slightly closed, but Zhao Wuxian knew that there must be no waves inside.

"General, the villain has no eyes, but he still has ears, a heart, and a hand for writing, three things are enough."

"Remarkable."

Zhao Wuxian nodded, he rarely praised a person so much.

"Zuo Qiu Ming, you will definitely become a generation of good history in the future!"

……

Gao Wupi was sent back in a carriage, he was a little in a trance, after all, he was frightened by Zhao Wuxian just now.

But he wasn't Zhao Wuxian's only preparation, he also asked the Gong Squad to move the ballista closer, only to wait for the Qi people to refuse and launch an attack.

It's just that once that's the case, this battle will turn into a one-sided massacre, Wen Shui is afraid that it will not flow, and Zhao Jun will also pay a lot of price, this is not the outcome that Zhao Wuxian wants to see.

He hoped that this battle would end here, so that the Zhao army could return to the western front as soon as possible. What's more, the state and Gao Liangqing are also part of his future Eastern plan......

The Chen family has taken advantage of the previous wars, the Qi State Office and the clan are weakening day by day, but Chen Qi Chen Heng's father and son are growing stronger day by day, Zhao Wuxian doesn't want them to complete the "Chen Family Generation Qi" so easily!

Half an hour passed after Gao Wupi went in, and just when Zhao Wuxian's patience was about to run out and let his men attack, someone from the other side was sent over, and the agreed white flag was waving, it was Gao Wupi, or the envoy sent by Guoxia.

"Guozi said that he was convinced to lose this battle, he is willing to lead a large army to surrender to Zhao, and hopes that the general can keep his promise!"

"Heaven and earth are proof, if the boy violates his oath, his family will be destroyed!"

Pointing to the sky and swearing a poisonous oath, looking at the Qi envoy who bowed his head more than ten steps away from the chariot, the corners of Zhao Wuxian's mouth showed a trace of upturned arc, and he looked at the powerful and airless Qi army in the drizzle on the opposite side, like a defeated soldier.

The battle began at noon, and in the evening, 30,000 soldiers unarmed and surrendered, and they lost the battle, and they lost the whole war! (To be continued.) )
