Chapter 1000: Walk Forward
readx; "Could it be that Haotian is really favoring the Zhao family?" Sitting in the car, looking at the mountains that were gradually disappearing outside the car, thinking of what had happened in the past few months, Chen Heng couldn't help but sigh. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The first is that they underestimated the strength of the Zhao clan, who would have thought that after the catastrophe, the Zhao clan would be able to dispatch so much combat power? Chen Heng tried his best to organize the Lianheng, but it didn't make any difference. More than ten years after Zhao Wuxian became the owner, the state of Lu was no longer comparable to that year, and the defense of the country made it impossible for the Qi army to open the situation on the eastern front. The defeat and retreat of the Western Front is also reasonable, the strategic level of the Zhao clan has advanced by leaps and bounds, what thieves attacked Yiluo, and the cavalry attacked for thousands of miles, so that Qin Wei and Zheng Lian suffered defeat and were trapped in the east of the river, and they were in danger of being destroyed.
Chen Heng hurriedly put out the fire, and finally moved from Chu to rescue the troops, seeing that Lu Hun was broken, he could drive straight into the river and meet the retreat of the remnants of Qin, Wei and Zheng. Who would have expected that after the city was broken, the king of Chu died with a whimper......
Because outsiders were not allowed to approach the camp of the king of Chu, Chen Heng did not know the specific situation at that time, but vaguely learned that it was a "heart disease" from the Chu people he bought. Because of his high status, the prince of Qin was able to wear a suit for the king of Chu, that is, a shroud, and when he came out, his eyes were already red, and he said to Chen Heng that the king of Chu died peacefully.
Later, the king of Chu entered the coffin, Chen Heng was finally able to see his remains, the monarch's attire when he was buried was a university question, because the formal funeral and burial had to return to China and then move, so all of this was temporary.
The Chu people dressed the king of Chu as if he was about to go to war: he wore his best rhino leather armor, heavy leather with fiery red lacquer, and was decorated with ornate phoenix patterns. On his chest was the Zhanlu sword with a catalpa wood scabbard and gold wire, which was the sword of the king, and the king of Chu held it firmly with both hands, and the bottom of the coffin was covered with beautiful jade......
His remains after death are so noble, the only thing to consider is that in this hot day, the coffin is transported back to Yedi from Lu Hun, and then take the waterway to Yingdu, even if you are careful all the way, the corpse is only afraid that it will be rotten, I hope that as the rumors say, the king of Chu can alleviate this process with jade in his mouth......
"He is in the sky, annihilating my virtuous king." In front of everyone's eyes, Chen Heng also wiped his tears with the wide sleeves of his robe.
He is indeed sad from the bottom of his heart, there are not many monarchs in the world who are as tolerant and sincere as the King of Chu, and who still remember the kindness of more than ten years ago, but he is sad that the death of the King of Chu directly led to the shaking of Chu's strategy of attacking Zhao and saving Qin.
Although the king of Chu left a will before his death, on the grounds that the crown prince Xiong Zhang was young, let Wang's brother Lu succeed to the throne, and led the army to continue to go deep into Yiluo, rescue Qin and Wei, and fulfill his promise and long-cherished wish. However, after the death of the king of Chu, after crying bitterly and grabbing the ground with his head, Zilu pushed away the throne that he had promised before.
"The king gave up his son and sought the long king for the country, but the state of Chu has always been a brother and a brother, either killing the king and seizing the throne, or there is no good result, I have no talent, how dare I covet the throne? It is reasonable to set up the crown prince's chapter, even if you want to choose the elderly, you should be succeeded by the two royal brothers Zixi and Ziqi. It is better for us to withdraw our troops and escort the coffin of the king back to the state of Chu, and to welcome the new king as soon as possible, so as not to panic the people of the country and cause chaos in the country......"
Gongzi Qi ignored the opposition of Chen Heng, Wei Shu, Qin Guogongzi and others, and after discussing with Ye Gongzigao, he decided to withdraw his troops, close the road, and destroy all the rear passes.
Ye Gong and Gongzi Qi personally put the king of Chu in a thick coffin, carried the coffin on their shoulders, and the two of them carried the coffin to the carriage outside the city. The Chu people outside Luhun City all learned the news, and there was a cry under the firelight, and Chen Heng experienced death and ruin from it.
Behind it was the flames and smoke that rushed to the sky, and after the city was burned and the troops were withdrawn from Luhun, everyone was terrified, and their footsteps were no longer the high fighting spirit they had when they came, but they were in chaos.
Chen Heng couldn't help but think of a sentence in the poem: "The line is beautiful, and the center is like choking ......"
This incident hit them too hard, and the Chu people once again advanced into the Central Plains after a lapse of several decades, but what they got was not the glory of supporting the building and winning the throne, but the heavy loss of losing the king.
Without the guidance of the wise and martial king, where will they go? The people of Chu were full of confusion.
ā¦ā¦
As they got farther and farther away from Lu Hun and the Chu army withdrew from Yiluo, Gongzi Qi and Ye Gong were thinking about how to stabilize the domestic situation and defend the Wu people from taking advantage of the funeral, and the war in the north became irrelevant to them. Now it was the turn of the envoys of Qin, Wei, Zheng, and Qi to worry about their future.
"As long as the army can cross the Fenglingdu and rely on Taolinsai as a barrier, there will be a chance to return to Weinan and turn the crisis into a safe ......" As for how to resist the Zhao clan's 100,000 cavalry attack with 50,000 or 60,000 defeated troops after this, the prince of Qin was also at a loss.
Wei Wu didn't say a word, this old man went to Chu to lobby the King of Chu, Ling Yin, and Sima, and he had exhausted his mental strength. In his mind, after losing Hexi and Hedong, Wei Ju's chances of surviving were very slim, and he still wanted to think about how to take root in the Chu land that rejected foreigners, and leave a little blood for the Wei family.
As for Si Hong, one of the seven Mu of Zheng Guo, he was also full of sadness, according to Zheng Guoren's urine nature of "only strong is dependent", if it weren't for the fact that the thieves slaughtered 5,000 Zheng Guo prisoners by the Luoshui River, Zheng Guo "The son cries for his father, the father cries for his son, the brother cries for his brother, the younger brother cries for his brother, the ancestor cries for his grandson, his wife cries for his husband, the streets are full of cities, and the sound of pain is endless", I am afraid that he has run to the camp of the Zhao army and wags his tail to Zhao Wuxian and begs to surrender.
"Don't conspir......e with it" Looking at the envoys from all parties with their own thoughts, Chen Heng quietly withdrew from the camp and no longer discussed his plans with them.
Fifteen years, since Zhao Wuxian first entered Ludi, Chen Heng has been fighting with him openly and secretly, and it has been fifteen years, and he has also grown from an immature weak-crowned gentleman to a family pillar who is in charge of his own affairs, with footprints all over the world. He realized that he could not defeat Zhao Wuxian on his own, so he searched so hard just to make strong friends, curb the growth of the Zhao clan, and avoid the collapse of the Qi State and the Chen clan.
But war is not only about strength, diplomacy, and strategy, but also sometimes about luck, and this time, luck is not on their side.
stood on Zhao's side.
With the death of the king of Chu, regardless of whether the Qin-Wei coalition army can escape or not, the overall situation of the war on the Western Front has been decided.
Although it seems that all this has come to naught, Chen Heng is not giving up.
"It can't just be over......"
When the Chu army returned to the bank of Rushui in a lost land, Chen Heng suddenly said goodbye to his son.
"I want to go back to Qi and make a final effort to defend against the Zhao clan." He looked at Gongzi Qi and Ye Gongzi Gao eagerly, but they didn't make any promises except verbal apologies. It seems that these two people never want to have the slightest relationship with Lian Heng anymore, and the orders Yin Zixi and Sima Ziqi, who are in power within the Chu State, are also known for their conservative and stable policies.
Without Xiong Zhen, the enterprising king of Chu, the state of Chu will enter a period of retreat and self-defense. It is better to count on them than on their enemies.
So Chen Heng resolutely left the Chu army and drove slowly east along Rushui.
However, after reaching a place where the army of Chu behind him could not be seen, he snatched the bridle of the emperor and drove the horse to speed forward!
He claimed to be going back to Qi, but this would be to the southeast......
He is going to Chen, Cai, and Huaibei!
Qin Wei is no longer saved, Zheng Guo is also difficult to protect himself, Chen Heng's current pursuit is only to protect Qi Guo and protect the Chen family.
The only powerful countries in the world that can still confront the Zhao clan are Chu and Wu, and since the Chu State is unreliable, he can only go to the Wu State.
Chen Heng thought about it, he wanted to give a big gift to the ambitious Wu Wangfucha, about the death of the king of Chu, about the emptiness of the eastern border of the Chu country, he wanted to help the king of Wu to capture the two Huai, seize Chen and Cai, let his ambition and self-confidence swell to the extreme, and then induce him to go north to Song and Lu, attract the firepower of the Zhao family, and pull the Qi country!
This battle is not over yet, in the gallop, Chen Heng has fallen into madness in his heart, even if he fails in the end, he will pull the whole world into the water and go to the soup with the Chen family!
