PS: The second chapter is in the evening

The hail flew one after another, smashing the eaves of the house, but it couldn't hide the earth-shattering shouts outside. Everyone in the hall was out of business, even if they were greedy and delicious, they stopped the chopsticks in their hands, put down the wine cup, and listened quietly, waiting for the news of victory and defeat, and waiting for Haotian's verdict.

Ji Huan held the thin sword under the mat tightly, she didn't lie, if the enemy broke the city, she would rather die than be captured and insulted.

She is the daughter of the proud surname Ying, the heir of the Xuanniao, and would rather accompany the emperor to the burning of the jade like Daji than commit herself to the victor like Xi Yuan.

Just then, the door was slammed open!

Zhao Guangde's arm was injured, his armor was soaked with oozing blood, and when he entered in a hurry, several boys were startled to cry, and there was a white-clothed spirit magpie healer behind him who followed and bandaged him.

"Win! We've won! Regardless of his injuries, he yelled as soon as he entered the door.

"What happened?"

"The enemy commander fled, the soldiers outside the city collapsed, and Wen County was saved!" Zhao Guangde was full of joy.

"Is Shirtless back?" Ji Huan looked at him eagerly, pinched the corners of his clothes with both hands, and asked softly.

The noise inside and outside was too loud, Zhao Guangde didn't seem to hear Ji Huan's words, and was still incoherently describing the situation to everyone: "At that time, the Zhijun was besieging the Water Gate, and the reinforcements came through the night, so they were attacked from behind, almost without resistance, some ran away, and more surrendered on their knees, begging for mercy loudly, but their heads were cut off, and the moat was filled with floating corpses of their generation. I saw the wall as I saw it clearly, countless torches along the avenue, along the riverbank, and the key to victory was the cavalry, who crushed the Zhi clan like spears piercing through melons, and all of them were as brave as tigers, and I really wanted to jump off the wall and join in it. ”

"I ask you, is Shirtless back?" Ji Huan stood up and accentuated her tone, making Zhao Guangde turn around and respond: "Exactly!" It's my cousin's army, and he's commanding everything from the army, and he's about to enter the city. ”

Cheers in the hall, at the head of the Wenxian wall, boiling in every alley, but Ji Huan breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes and thanked Haotian for his protection.

Instead of joining the sea of joy, she calmly ordered: "Come and return to the pickaxe, and I will walk forever; Drink the friends of the royal family, and the turtle and carp. Wuxian and the soldiers must be very tired when they return from victory, so quickly let people go down and prepare food and drink, and we will go out and treat them! ”

……

When entering the city, Zhao Wuxian, who was in the lead, saw Ji Huan in red at a glance, and she was surrounded in the center by the daughters who came out to greet the Kun father and brothers, as conspicuous as standing out from the crowd.

Of course, what Zhao Wuxian saw was the black sheath saber on the silk belt around her waist, she seemed calm, but in fact, when she came out, her heart was already in a mess, and she forgot to understand it at all.

Of course, Zhao Wuxian knew what this meant, his heart tightened, if he was a few days late, if he knew that the fortune of the clan was lucky enough to break the city, if he failed to win this war, would Ji Ying's ending be even more tragic than in history?

There is no doubt that Ji Huan is a strong woman who would rather be a broken jade than a complete tile, and she can commit suicide by sharpening her hairpin, or she will die by drinking a sword.

Fortunately, those assumptions didn't happen, dismounted and walked to her side, Zhao Wuxian reached out and took the sword without hesitation, and said with a smile: "It's better for my daughter's family to take needles and threads." ”

Ji Huan was happy in her heart, but her face couldn't show too much, she just said lightly: "I heard that there is a female swordsman named Mo Xie under Wuxian, who can not only make swords, but also forge swords, how can my sister not do it?" ”

Zhao Wuxian shook his head: "Wu Yue's woman has a tattoo and a carved face, fighting barefoot with a sword between the rivers, which is not what a fair lady in the Central Plains should be compared to." It's not that he discriminates against southerners, but he can't accept Wu Yue's aesthetics, and I don't know if the legendary Ramie Village Xi Shi is also like this......

The younger brother was talking, but Ji Huan's little sister Zhao Jia, who was two years old and was babbling, stumbled over, looked up at Zhao Wuxian, who was dressed in beautiful armor, with wide eyes, and looked at the black-clothed guards behind him.

"I've grown up a lot."

Zhao Wuxian picked her up, compared to his shy nephew Zhao Zhou, he felt more intimate with this little sister, almost better than his own son. This little girl liked to drill into his arms when they first met, and this time she was away for four months, and she still recognized Wuxi, not at all.

Not only that, but she also stared at the sword of the cadre on Zhao Wuxian's waist, and her chubby little hand stretched out towards him, babbling "sword...... Sword. According to Ji Huan, she still doesn't call her brother, she only calls her father and sword.

"When I took the name, I grabbed Bai Yuzhang with my two nephews, pushed them aside, grabbed a wooden horse when I caught Zhou, and I was happy to see the sword recently, I really don't know what will happen in the future......" His mother Jinjuan was a little worried, she had a humble status and rarely spoke on weekdays.

Zhao Wuxian gave the answer: "Even if the daughter of the Zhao family wears a sword, it can be used to cut paper, and as for the sword that kills, my father and I will wield it." ”

He swore in his heart that he would never let his family stand under the wall again!

"By the way, what about the father?"

A trace of worry flashed on Ji Huan's face: "I left this place ten days ago and went to Yiguan......"

……

Hail and light rain fell all night, causing most of the Zhi's rout to be scattered, but also halting the pursuit of the Zhao army. Relying on this, Zhixiao stumbled all the way to the southwest, and after a day and a day of running wildly, he finally ran to Heyang.

Everyone was wet, frozen overnight and roasted by the hot summer sun, hot and cold imbalanced, yawning and sneezing constantly, many people fell to the ground and fell asleep while walking, no matter how they shouted, they couldn't wake up, and when they touched their foreheads, they were so hot that they couldn't do it. If the sick and wounded could not keep up, they would be left to fend for themselves, and could only collapse on the side of the road exhausted and wait to be captured by the Zhao army.

In the end, there were only three or four hundred people left behind him, all of them exhausted.

Zhixiao is also like a defeated rooster, drooping his feather crown, he really wants to lie on the comfortable soft couch to sleep, hugging the soft body of the concubine, compared with the current predicament, he is even more resentful of Lu Xing and Wei.

It wasn't until he saw the sparkling waters of the river and the boats on the opposite bank that he regained his spirits.

"When you arrive, the other side is Mengjin, as long as you cross the river, it is the territory of the royal family!"

Their original plan was to attack Wen County, and if they could conquer it, they couldn't go down the river by boat after mobilizing Zhao Ying to return to defense, and go to Zheng State. Of course, if you can't go downstream, you can also come back to Mengjin, and the royal family's ships will meet here.

Zhixiao's grandfather Zhi Bosong had a great relationship with King Zhou and Shan Liu Er, and the ruling Duke Liu was still Fan Gaoyi's in-law, so the Zhou family had always been on the side of the Marquis of Jin and the Zhi family in this war. Although no substantial support was provided, the name of righteousness alone was enough for the Zhao family to stand on the opposite side of the world.

What makes Zhixiao frightened is that the Zhao family doesn't care about this, from the beginning of the war to the present, the Qing monarch side, the clan destroyed Handan, forced Fan Zhongxing Erqing to death, and the Yuncheng trial that he didn't know yet, beheaded Yangsheng...... The Zhao father and son don't know how many things they have done that are contrary to traditional etiquette, and now they have broken through the encirclement network jointly opened by the princes......

"Zhao Wuxian is back, the Qi State must have been defeated, how can we defeat them now?" Zhixiao was worried, but it didn't take long for him to worry about himself.

Because the Zhou room, which originally said that it would send a fleet to pick it up, only came over with a small boat......

Seeing the small boat approaching, a scholar with a long beard and a polite demeanor saluted Zhixiao, and Zhixiao asked angrily: "Who are you, Liu Gong said that he would wait for the fleet on the other side?" “

"In Xia Changhong, this matter is a long story...... "The scholar saluted again, his face ashamed.

"Chang Hong?"

This person's name has long been heard of by Zhixiao. In the rebellion of the prince's dynasty, he assisted Liu Wengong to win the civil war, and used the Jin State to help quell the chaos, and assisted the king of Zhou to ascend the throne and made great contributions. Later, he set up the "Pighead", wanting to make the princes re-respect Zhou, and expanded the city of Zhou, so that the royal family had a place to live after the rebellion of the prince's dynasty, and was regarded as the pillar of the country by the king of Zhou and the Duke of Liu, and was the actual ruler of the Zhou family today.

Chang Hong's personal arrival also represents a change in Zhou's attitude towards the dispute between Zhizhao and Zhao......

Chang Hong explained: "Shan Gong's mining was besieged by the Zhao family but not attacked, so he strongly advocated Zhao, and now the news of the Zhao family's defeat of the Qi State came, and the doctors in the court and the central government supported the Shan Gong to take advantage, and the Son of Heaven has planned to stop being the enemy of the Zhao family, and the matter of receiving the Zhi's soldiers is naturally over." ”

He was ashamed in his heart, Zhibo's plan was notified to the royal family in advance, but they temporarily repented, and the integrity of the Son of Heaven was only afraid that he would be laughed at by the world. But in the eyes of King Zhou, Shan Gong, and Liu Gong, even so, it is better than continuing to offend the Zhao family! Now not only Fan, Bank of China, Handan, Wei, and Cao have fallen one after another, but even the people of Qi have been defeated, and the Zhao family is terrible! If this continues, who knows if the next sacrifice will be the royal family?

Although Chang Hong has the right to suggest, he has no right to decide, and now all he can do is to take the eldest grandson of the Zhi clan to the other side, so as to give Zhibo an explanation.

"How can this be, how can this be......" Zhixiao lost his square inch.

While speaking, it only took a while, and the smoke and dust on the Tu Road in the distance rose again, it was the cavalry of the Zhao clan, and they had been looking for the whereabouts of Zhixiao.

"Please gentleman aboard!" Chang Hong took a step forward and eagerly invited Zhixiao on the boat.

"Gentleman?" The hundreds of remnants of the Zhi clan were full of despair, and they watched as their commander's face turned blue and white, and finally jumped into the boat and crossed to the south bank with Chang Hong.

Zhibing stretched out his hand, but he didn't grab the corner of Zhixiao's clothes or the hull of the ship, but was forced back by the spear and halberd on the ship.

"Gentleman!"

When they saw that they were abandoned, they let out a desperate cry, gritted their teeth, looked back at Zhao Qi who was galloping, knelt on the ground in unison, and chose to surrender.

The king treats his ministers with courtesy, and the ministers serve the king with loyalty, which is an equivalent exchange, but if the king abandons his courtiers like a mustard, this loyalty has no meaning......

At this point, Zhi's military adventure ended in the annihilation of the whole army, and Zhixiao, who was secretly surviving on the Changhong ship, was ashamed, he hugged his head and cried, thinking to himself, what would he do if his younger brother Zhiyao was here?

He would probably rather fight to the death with his men than steal his life alone, right? That's why his men were willing to die for it.

Since then, Zhixiao no longer has the heart to fight for succession, because Zhizhao's offense and defense have been completely reversed, the Qi State has been defeated, the Son of Heaven has been repeated, and Wei's intentions are unpredictable, perhaps in the near future, only Zhi's army will be left to fight alone. Therefore, the future heir of the Zhi clan needs to have the courage and determination to lead the family to resist Zhao Wuxian's surging offensive! (To be continued.) )
