readx; Thirty miles south of Maoyi in Zhoumur is the remnants of Bear's Ears Mountain, and in the early morning of this day, the sun rises from the mountains, emitting a warm light to shine on the earth, and the summer day quickly drives away the darkness and cold, making it difficult for people or things to hide in the mountains with the help of night. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In a mountain recess, Wang Sunsheng was pierced by the sunlight and opened his eyes, and subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to block the light, and then the sharp pain from the palm of his right hand made him realize his situation.

He rubbed his sore back, soothed his arm, which was a little stiff and numb because he had not moved for a long time, got up and looked at it, and more than 100 soldiers were lying, leaning, or sitting, resting under the trees and on the grass. They were covered in tattered leather armor, holding half of their swords in their hands, all of them were tired and wounded, and there was a sour smell of blood in the air, some of them snoring, and some of them coughing painfully from time to time in their sleep.

It's a much-tormented army, and it's a miracle that they've made it here alive.

Two days had passed since the fall of Lu Hun, and there were too many things that happened that night, Wang Sunsheng first had a disagreement with Meijian Chi about retreating or sticking to it, and at a disagreement, he was deprived of his command by virtue of the tiger talisman. Immediately, Wang Sunsheng was guarded by two black-clothed people, as long as he acted rashly, he was afraid that he would immediately be hit by two swords in the back.

But the situation soon did not allow them to fight inwardly, and the Chu army attacked fiercely, and Ye Gongzi sent barbarian troops to go around the back of the mountain ridge and flank them with the frontal army. After paying hundreds of dead and wounded, the Chu army ascended to the top of the city in the early morning, and the rear gate was also in danger.

At this critical juncture, Wang Sunsheng took the opportunity to persuade the black-clothed guards who were guarding him to regain command. He took some soldiers in the city to forcibly break through from the north gate of Luhun, and there were only more than 1,000 barbarians attacking there, and he couldn't stop the Zhao army who was eager to survive.

Wang Sunsheng took some people to escape from the dangerous city, but when the number of people was counted early the next morning, only more than 100 people escaped, and the rest all fell in the city, even Meijianchi was no exception.

In other words, it was the stubborn resistance of Meijian Chi in the southern city wall that made the Chu people have to pay several lives for every inch of advance, so that Wang Sunsheng and others had time to break through, as for himself, he probably died in this battle......

Although he escaped, the originally sharp eyes of the black-clothed man who ran here with Wang Sunsheng were full of anxiety and sadness at the moment: "Military law stipulates that if the personal guard loses his main general, the crime is better than escaping from the battle, not to mention that he is still the righteous son of Shangqing...... I will be severely punished when I go back. ”

"I lost Lu Hun, and I was also guilty." Wang Sunsheng comforted him and said: "But we can still make meritorious contributions, as long as we inform the general of the Chu army of the movements of the Chu army in time, and then try our best to hijack the grain and scattered soldiers of the Chu army, it can also have the effect of blocking the enemy army." ”

In fact, for the death of the red eyebrows, Wang Sunsheng couldn't wait to applaud, this son was Zhao Wuxian's son, holding a tiger talisman, and dared to deprive himself of the right to command. If it weren't for the fact that these Zhao soldiers under his command were all Yecheng soldiers, who only temporarily obeyed Wang Sunsheng's dispatch during the war, but they didn't have the slightest loyalty to him, Wang Sunsheng even wanted to do nothing and take them out of the Zhao family......

But now that he is separated from these soldiers, he has nothing, not to mention that his father's revenge has not been avenged, and staying in the Zhao clan is still the best opportunity to destroy Zheng.

So Wang Sunsheng picked up the strategy he had proposed earlier, intending to take these more than 100 soldiers to hide at the border of the Zhou royal family and harass the Chu army passing by the land of Yiluo. If things are favorable, burn some grain and grass, and if things are unfavorable, go away to the mountains and forests to save your life. Anyway, he wouldn't be as stupid as the red eyebrows, putting his life on Zhao Wuxian's career.

"How good it is to keep a useful body and do something more worthwhile......"

Wang Sun Sheng laughed at the stupidity of the red eyebrows, but he soon discovered that his plan to harass the enemy did not work, not because the Chu army was well guarded, but because they had not passed by here at all!

Not only did the army, grain carts, and baggage not be there, but even a scout was not sent, Wang Sunsheng knew that the commander of the Chu army this time was Ye Gong Shen Zhuliang, this famous county prince of Chu State, didn't he even have this basic common sense?

The next day, Wang Sunsheng felt more and more that something was wrong, and he decided to take a risk. So he carefully left the mountain pass with the remnants of Zhao Bing, and followed the mountain path in the direction of Lu Hun......

……

Lu Hun is located at the junction of Bear's Ear Mountain and Santu Mountain, with dozens of mountains, the peaks are not high, but there is no end in sight.

Because of the sparse population since ancient times, the forest here is very deep, and the surrounding silence is terrible, except for a few warhorses occasionally sneezing, there are few footsteps and the rustle of leaves brought by the wind. This quiet atmosphere can be regarded as fresh and natural elsewhere, but in Wang Sunsheng's opinion, it seems strange.

You must know that even if there are a lot of losses in Lu Hunyi, the Chu army has an army of 50,000! The action should be all over the mountains, but in the mountains and forests in the distance, not even a bird was startled.

Could it be that after the Chu army conquered Lu Hun, it was stationed on the spot and no longer advanced? But they can't even go into the mountains to cut firewood.

With such doubts, Wang Sunsheng and the others returned along the path they had taken when they fled, getting closer and closer to Lu Hun, and when there were still ten miles to go, they finally saw the thick black smoke rising from there......

"The Chu army burned Lu Hun?" Everyone opened their mouths wide, Wang Sunsheng also felt that this kind of behavior was too unbelievable, and it was not easy to conquer this city, which should be used as a transit station and grain storage ground for the advance of the army, what did you do when it was burned?

It wasn't until they had the courage to get closer to half a mile that they found that Hugh had not even a single figure of the 50,000-strong army, only charred wooden beams, ruins that had collapsed after being roasted by the heat, and corpses that had gradually turned to ashes in the fire......

No, no, in the ruins of Lu Hun, there is still a living person moving!

A figure stumbled out of a gap in the smoking wall, dragging a corpse in his hand, and after placing the corpse on the ground, he went in and dragged out another......

In the end, it was a broken Zhao Xuanniao flag......

When the crowd hesitated to approach, the man saw them, and he looked like he was going to fall at any moment, but he leaned against the flagpole and tried his best to stand up straight to meet the crowd, grinning.

"Second and third sons, no matter how late it is......"

"Deputy commander?" The voice is hoarse, but it is a little familiar, everyone is shocked, and when they get closer, who else can it be if it is not the red eyebrows?

……

"You're not dead...... looking at the red eyebrows in front of him, Wang Sunsheng's expression was as disgusting as eating a fly, half a moment ago he was still thinking that the Chu army evacuated Lu Hun for some reason, which means that he can recover this place, not only is he not guilty, but he has a great achievement.

But the eyebrows are red, and there is no part for him to speak about this matter, in Wang Sunsheng's opinion, although Zhao Wuxian advertises that he is meritocracy, but in fact he is still cronyistic, and he is very biased in his heart. The old subordinates of the Lu State and the Zhao clan were all over the court, serving as feudal officials, but it was difficult for those he did not trust to ascend to high positions.

The red eyebrows were completely gone, he was covered in blisters of blood and flames, and his face was covered with soot. He silently listened to the black-clothed man who wept bitterly to narrate the breakthrough process, and looked at everyone's eyes as if he was in a different world.

The soft sunlight shone on his face, which seemed to touch the bottom of the red heart between his eyebrows, making him have mixed feelings. That night when the Chu army attacked the city, he took the remnants and fought and retreated, but he was outnumbered, and finally was stuck in a broken wall and passed out, and the corpses of Zhao pawns were piled up on top of each other outside, which was not pulled out by the Chu army, and when he woke up again, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

He could still see the rising sun, but those tragic deaths of Zhao pawn no longer had this opportunity, familiar faces flashed in his mind, the blood of that night became clearer and clearer, and one after another fell robes seemed to be whipped into his heart one after another, and his whole body twitched in pain.

Maybe Wang Sunsheng is right, he is using their lives to accompany the funeral for his own loyalty.

But between the eyebrows felt that this bloody battle was worth it.

With the help of Zhao Zu, he tried his best to transport the remains of Zhao Zu from the city, and stood on a broken wall with the broken Xuanniao Flag between his eyebrows, and he wanted to answer the doubts of these people: Where did the army of Chu go?

"After the Chu army broke through Lu Hun, the division retreated!"

When Meijian Chi announced the truth of the matter, the soldiers congratulated each other without much thought, but people with a little brains felt that this was unreasonable: the prince of Chu personally conquered to rescue Qin, Wei, and Zheng, and now he finally broke through Lu Hun and could drive straight in, but why did he retreat after burning the city in a hurry?

Is it because Lu Hun's resistance was too fierce, and the Chu army felt that the next losses would be greater and retreated?

Or is there chaos in the rear of the Chu State, such as the Wu State attacking Chen and Cai? The smart man Wang Sunsheng guessed a lot.

There was a hint of regret in the red eyes between the eyebrows that he had not been able to kill the enemy with his own hands, but more than that, he was extremely excited.

"Because the King of Chu is dead!"

He announced loudly: "The king of Chu died of illness in the army!" Just when the Chu army broke through the city! The Chu army was in great sorrow, 50,000 people wept together, and the next day they split the Luhun city pillar to make a temporary coffin for the king of Chu, and then burned the city and retreated......"

After a silence, there was a sudden burst of cheers, and Zhao Zu, who had been fighting in this place for many days, was overjoyed, and among the excited Zhao pawns, only Wang Sunsheng stood in place, motionless.

He couldn't believe that his uncle King Chu died in such a daze? Wang Sunsheng suddenly remembered the deeds of King Wu of Chu and King Wen of Chu who died on the journey, and couldn't help but touch his chest and shivered......

It wasn't until he felt the scrutinizing gaze between his eyebrows that Wang Sunsheng forced himself to squeeze out a trace of an ugly smile, but at this moment, the idea that sprouted in his heart was: "The Chu army retreats, Qin and Wei will be defeated, but at this critical juncture...... Could it be that Hao Tian is really favoring the Zhao family? ”
