Chapter 124: The Battle of Pi (1)

Some mistakes can be remedied, and some mistakes are like a minefield with no turning back, and you can only pay it back with your life.

Li Si is nearly seventy years old and dying, Zhao Gao is prepared and unforgiving, this battle finally ended with the dismissal of the two sons of the Li family and imprisonment, and the rest of the good drama is unknown to ordinary people.

But it is very strange that other details that should not be known by ordinary people have gradually spread in the form of rumors, such as the second emperor of the palace said that day, "Don't stain the copper pillar", this kind of words that should have been the king's secret, from Xianyang to the internal history, and even the surrounding Sanchuan, Hanzhong, Hedong, Beidi, Shangjun Everyone knows, but Hu Hai does not know that his words have caused trouble.

Among them, the reaction of Shangjun was the most special, the 200,000 army suddenly moved south for thirty miles, although it was said that they returned to the camp immediately on the day of departure, but this kind of thing that obviously did not have the permission of the emperor still made the entire Great Qin stagnant, and then everyone had different opinions......

Some people say that this is General Wang Li's support after knowing that Li Si's family was in prison, in order to protect this minister of humerus to resist Zhao Gao.

Some people say, what is Leese? Wang Li's real purpose is to save the general Meng Tian, he is the real minister of the Pillar Kingdom.

Some people say that Wang Li's prestige is insufficient, and he has lost control of the Jiuyuan Army, and these are all spontaneous actions of the soldiers.

It is also said that the army is trying to intimidate rebellions in various places, and it is under the secret order of His Majesty, and it is not at all what others suspect......

At this time, the rumored second emperor Hu Hai, who was wise and martial and secretly protected the country, still didn't know anything about it, and he was drunk and dreamed of death all day long, and in order to hide from his leisure, he even moved to Wangyi Palace, the northernmost part of the palace group, away from political affairs.

The emperor is out of touch with his courtiers, and he will eventually create powerful ministers, and if the powerful ministers are people like Zhao Gao, the disaster of the country will come.

What made many people breathe a sigh of relief was that for some reason, the abnormal movement of the Jiuyuan Army did not cause any reaction from Daqin in the end, and no one investigated the responsibility of the army's unauthorized dispatch, and the court was not frightened by this, as if this incident had not happened at all, and the past had passed.

The fast horses running between Xianyang and Shangjun are endless, but they are all private slaves and soldiers, and they have not seen the envoys in the palace.

This is the worst time for the subjects who have their hearts set on Great Qin, and it is the best opportunity for many forces that did not dare to rise to the occasion in the past.

The most capable border army suddenly turned over, which really made many people pause their thoughts that they shouldn't have, Chen Sheng, Wu Guangzhi and others were even ready to defend the city, but when they looked back, they found that the empire was still like sleeping, and Shangcai, Changping, Yangxia and other places close to Chen County, there was not a single reinforcement......

This is reassuring, it seems that the second will not send troops!

Chen Sheng was very relieved, but Xiang Ji was very troubled, because after the prime minister rebelled against Qin, Xiapi, who was adjacent to him, had long been ready to fight, so the war was not going well, at least, the desire to capture the city that day could not be achieved, and he felt that he had no shame to see his uncle in the future.

Standing in the field of Xiapi, the most touching thing is Luan Bu, the elders of the year no one followed the army, but they told him the place where Luan Erbo was buried early, a dirt bag and a tree, Luan Bu knelt there and cried like a baby in the confinement.

There was no paper money and no incense candles, and Yu Zhou, who rarely participated in the ceremony, was a little uncomfortable, so he learned from Ji Bu to offer five grains and small three animals, and the three of them hurriedly thanked him.

What is the favor of the Taiyi God Emperor, the care of the road gods, the ancestors, and the Xuanming, the local shrine gods, and the five rituals (doors, households, wells, stoves, and middle slips) official gods...... Bow down one by one, and my neck is sore.

It stands to reason that this kind of thing should be very demanding, not only has a specific time, but outsiders are not allowed to participate, but Ji Bu and Yu Zhou both wore mourning clothes back then, and at this time, it is not considered a life to meet in the worship of the clan.

After the big and small rituals, Luan Bu seemed to have suddenly matured, standing there still only with a green beard, but the obvious temperament of Ren Xia in the past was gone, more like a strong man who sat on the ground and shared the spoils.

This is not only seen by Yu Zhou, but also by Ji Bu: "Huh? Did you figure something out? ”

"What's the matter, I just think that the previous days were too muddy, speaking of which, in the past few years, I might as well serve my mother at home like Xiaocheng, better than wandering several times!"

"It's long overdue, but it's never too late for the prodigal son to turn back, if you have the heart, you might as well fight on the battlefield with me, it's better than having nothing to do."

Luan Bu shook his head: "I'm not much interested in marching and fighting, do you remember, we said we were going to march the world together." ”

Ji Bu frowned: "This is what you want to say after thinking about it for a long time?" What is the difference between a countryman and a swinger? ”

"There is really no difference, but if you can help the countrymen like Uncle Ji, why not be a meritorious achievement?"

Speaking of Ji Kang, Ji Bu didn't reply, but Yu Zhou couldn't figure out what Luan Bu was thinking, and he didn't seize the ready-made opportunity to make contributions, why did he have to toss it himself?

The situation of the Chu army is very good, is it not good to take advantage of the situation directly?

"Brother Luan, junior brother thinks that your idea of doing chivalry in the world may not work, Da Chu has Xiao Changshi, although he has not closed his door and left no trace at night, how to say it is much better than before, chivalry is forbidden by force, why do you want to make yourself lose face?"

Yu Zhou didn't think that the officials of Chu Di must be all officials, and he didn't want Jing Sui to tolerate the guys who took the wrong step, but in any case, it was too hasty to hand over the grievances of the officials and the people to the chivalrous.

Chivalry, it sounds good, how many people really learn martial arts and understand benevolence and righteousness? There are more heroes who help the green forest guests to spread their prestige, and even some villagers are scoundrels at all.

The pride of sacrificing one's life for the grace of a meal is fascinating, and the benefactor is affectionate and the beneficiary is righteous, but on the other hand, many people do not distinguish between right and wrong and easily entrust their martial arts and lives, and those who are used abound.

For example, although the ram who died in a duel with Ji Kang before, Yu Zhou didn't want Luan Bu to end up like that.

"Junior Brother Yu, don't worry, Luan is going here to be a chivalrous man in Qindi, saving others and saving himself!"

"Qin Di? War is about to break out, why should Brother Luan ......"

"Needless to say, I've already decided, don't you need to temper when you forge your sword?"

Luan Bu is a sword, he wants to temper himself with self-esteem, and it is useless to persuade him when he says this, so it is better to prepare something real.

"Okay, let's go back to the camp and prepare some sword armor, and then send Brother Luan on the road."

Luan Bu patted the package and didn't say anything, it seemed that he had been prepared, and he was waiting for the opportunity to say goodbye to only three people this time.

"Why be in such a hurry......"

"Don't worry, you're all about to become famous, and I still can't achieve anything......"

Really speaking, Luan Bu was indeed a little embarrassed after the Chu people occupied Huiji, and the former elder brother shouted, and suddenly there was a clear distinction between the top and bottom of each position, but he was not as old and serious as Ji Bu, wandering around all day long, and it was difficult for Fan Zeng to entrust him with important tasks.

The pros and cons of using acquaintances are here, otherwise Yu Zhou's guards would have pulled him in.

Maybe the real situation is different, but it will affect Luan Bu's growth, Yu Zhou gave a salute and didn't say anything.

Three people came, two people returned, the wine on the ground had not yet dried, and the fellow villagers for many years ushered in a parting.

Walking on the way back, Yu Zhou couldn't help but think of why Xiang Liang would rather go alone than with his nephew, thinking about it, he felt that this was a way to express self-esteem and self-improvement, for Xiang Ji and himself, Xiang Liang and Luan Bu are both respectful, and after being silent for so many years, it is not strange for an assertive person to make any decisions.

Leaving you when the spring breeze is proud, the tiger falls in Pingyang and comes back to pull a hand, Yu Zhou believes that both of them are this kind of people.

"Sure enough, everything won't go well......"

"The same is true for the sub-period? Come and see if I can take the city today! ”

As soon as he returned to the barracks, he met Xiang Ji, Yu Zhou was a little helpless, the Chu army was in a position there, and it was only a matter of time before Xiapi fell, but Xiang Ji didn't want to see his uncle early and late, but to see his uncle again with a beautiful record, trying to have a bright face.

"Did the flyer go in? What did the two military advisors say? ”

"It has been distributed a long time ago, but after the Xiapi County Lieutenant collected the papers, all of them were burned, which shows his intentions."

"Then let's attack the city......"

Xiang Ji sighed: "The ovary and the master also said the same, but they have already prepared, this battle is not a day or two of work, you have a lot of ways, can you think of winning it today?" ”

"I'm not an immortal, I can't even keep Brother Luan's heart."

Xiang Ji noticed that Luan Bu was missing among the three, and after listening to Ji Bu's whispering a few times, he waved his hand with a big grin: "The manly husband should do some work, what's wrong with leaving for the time being, there is not a day when we will meet again." ”

The heart is really big, I don't know if he thought the same way when Liu Bang borrowed the army to go, but as soon as he said this, Yu Zhou's blocked mood was relieved a lot, and he rolled his eyes and said: "I have something, maybe it can be used in this battle, why don't you try it?" ”

"Why didn't you say it sooner!"

Xiang Ji was anxious, and left with his shoulders half in the air, Ji Bu hurriedly went back to reorganize the ranks when he saw this, and after a while, the 20,000 Chu army opened the formation, and the sound of war drums like thunder resounded around the entire city.

The flags are lined up in the wind, the war horses are galloping and giving orders, and an army is very mature up to now, although it has mixed a lot of sand into the gold while fighting, but the sand born in the troubled times is still good.

Xiang Ji didn't ride a black horse today, but he was very close to the body in heavy armor, standing in place with a halberd in his hand and looking out, looking like he was going to go into battle in person.

The lord will be like this, and the remaining captains and lieutenants are not far behind, standing straight in place with their blades on the ground, staring at the city in the distance like meat on a board, and the battle spirit is already strong before the siege of the city begins.

When Yu Zhou ordered his subordinates to push forward the battle weapon, he made a final reply with the city by the way, and the other party resisted very strongly, and still sent him back with arrows.

The sergeants with shields in their hands skillfully formed a formation, and then they were so strong that Xiang Ji did not even leave any time for the two sides to prepare, and waved his halberd and ordered the siege to begin.

"Woo-woo-"

"Knock-"

When the war was coming, the Qin army in the city did not make any big moves, as the soldiers of the capital, they had long known the combat strength of the Chu army from all over the city, and 20,000 people surrounded the city, although it was not all soldiers, it was overwhelming.

There are no reinforcements outside the limited grain and grass, and the Qin people know that they will die in this battle but still have to fight, it seems that either the county lieutenant and the county lieutenant are loyal to the Qin family, or this is an elite army.

Most of the sieges were to deter the enemy first, and the new troops who rushed in front of them shouted "hey, hey, hey" to give themselves courage and slowly approached the city wall.

Before the battle was received, the two armies that entered the land of one arrow began to shoot at each other, and seeing that the Chu people were obviously at a loss, Fan Hao poured a sip of wine and hummed unhappily: "If I let the troops go up, I won't die so many people at all!" ”

No one answered his question, and even Fan Xu knew in his heart that using the blood of the new army to open the way can not only train the troops, but also have the effect of exhausting the enemy, this method of warfare has been passed down for many years, and it is also a certain reason why Ci Bu is in charge of the army.

Xiang Ji frowned slightly: "Drink less, don't be soft in the battle later, I won't save you then!" ”

"Joke! Which of our Chu people doesn't get more and more energetic the more they drink?! ”

Fan Xu's words were agreed, and even Fan Zeng nodded again and again, at this time, the Chu army that rushed to the forefront had already begun to attack the city, and the numerical advantage had some effect after all, the arrows at the head of the city became sparse, and the shouting of killing and the exchange of soldiers became the main theme.

Xiang Ji stood still and didn't move, but his face changed a lot, as his fist loosened and tightened, his heart had already flown to the place where the battle was most intense, and he couldn't wait to be in it.
