Chapter 310: The Long March (10)
The wind already has a hint of gloomy atmosphere.
The rushing river roared and swirled, rolling east......
On the ferry, the cypress and ancient pine, the posture is still straight, but in that vigor, it inevitably reveals a trace of vicissitudes.
yes, autumn is coming!
Although autumn is a harvest season, it is also cold and bleak.
Liu + straddled the horse, looking at the rows of the ferry, the rows of homeless troops, frowning vigorously, and his mind was quite solemn.
It's only been a few days, and Xiao He has actually drummed up another 20,000 homeless people.
This also made Liu + go north to break through the 100,000 mark. Looking at the tide of people, Liu's heart was not relaxed at all. In the past, I was worried that Henan was sparsely populated, but now there are 100,000 people, but Liu is still worried and can't sleep all night.
"Lao Xiao, so many people...... It's almost winter!
The winter in Jiuyuan can be cold and tight. Do we have enough food and grass, and do we have enough baggage? Don't get to your destination, starve to death countless times. β
Xiao He was also very worried.
In his words, there was a hint of exhaustion, and he replied: "Junhou, if according to the current situation, after Jiuyuan is replenished, he can survive this cold winter at most...... Actually, I don't worry about the cold winter, I am worried that after the beginning of spring, there will still be a food shortage.
These more than 100,000 people need to hold on at least until the autumn harvest next year.
But how can you survive this whole year? Prince, this name of benevolence and righteousness is already there, and the next thing is up to you to do it. β
Lao Xiao became more and more cunning, and he also learned to play ball!
Liu couldn't help but glance at him, but seeing that Xiao He's cheeks were thin and tired, he swallowed back the joking words on his lips.
"How long will it take to cross the river all?"
Li Cheng said: "It will probably be evening, and you will be able to cross the river...... However, locals say that it may be windy after nightfall, and that it will ...... Otherwise, you should cross the river first, or when the wind blows, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to cross the river again. β
Li Cheng's meaning is very clear, you have done enough!
After crossing the river on the 10th, countless displaced people66 continued to arrive, and Liu's pressure increased day by day. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that there will be more people at night. When you let go, you need to do what you can, and you can't be a drag on this kindness.
Liu didn't know that if he stayed in Hebei for a while, the pressure would increase by one point.
But now he had to hold on, so he shook his head, "Let the family cars and horses cross the river first, and I will be the last to get on the boat, don't say more." β
"Whoa!"
Li Cheng also knew that he couldn't persuade Liu.
So I could only speed up the degree of crossing the river, as long as Liu got on the boat, that is, the last batch.
But don't put it off for another day......
"Prince, Shima is here!"
Just when the crossing of the river was speeding up and it was almost dusk, Uncle Le suddenly shouted on the side.
After Uncle Le followed Liu+, he was left by Liu's side and served as a guard. An Uncle Le and a Che Ning can also reduce a little pressure.
Che Ning's eldest son is much older than Liu +.
However, although he looks the same as Che Ning, five big and three thick, he is not good at martial arts, and in his early years, he followed the craftsmen of Yan Kingdom and learned a skilled iron striking skill. He is now working as a helper on the old side of Panye, and he can be regarded as making the best use of his talents. is Che Ningdi's little grandson, who has followed Che Ning to practice martial arts all these years, and now he has become Liu Qin's little follower, and the relationship is very harmonious, and he calls 'brother' with his mouth closed.
From crossing the boundary to crossing the river on the 10th, Shiruma has not appeared.
At this time, what does he mean by showing up?
Liu hurriedly turned the horse's head and took Uncle Che Ningle to greet him.
I saw Shiruma with a hundred-man cavalry, accompanied by Kucher, appear at the crossing of the big river. Do the math, it's been almost seven or eight years since the last time I met Shiruma. Shiruma doesn't look like much has changed, with a black mouth and a black face...... Jiuyuan's wind added a kind of killing chill to his body. The white temples did not make him old, but made people feel more stable and mature. A pair of eyes, as sharp as an eagle's falcon.
"Prince!"
Shima has a lot of respect for Liu, and it doesn't matter if he is in trouble now.
Liu hurriedly dismounted and arched his hand: "The word Junhou, the general should not mention it again, Liu Jin is just a person in distress." β
Shiruma shook his head.
"The title of prince and marquis was sealed by the first emperor himself, unless the first emperor issued an edict, the prince is still a prince."
Shima spoke very bluntly, and faintly revealed a meaning: he did not admit that the second emperor sitting in Xianyang now was the emperor.
But these words can be clicked to the end.
Liu Hao, no matter if he is involved, he will not dwell too much on this issue.
Shima said: "I know that if the prince goes north to Hebei, he will definitely encounter a lot of trouble. Before, I have always been difficult to come forward, there are many people, and it is inevitable that there will be some rumors to Jinyang. I've been keeping an eye on ......, though Don't say a word today, you're ...... The heart is too soft. β
"Huh?"
"The fact that there are so many displaced people joining in will make you more stressed.
The bitter cold of the Nine Plains, the prince must also know...... I'm afraid that the baggage you carry with you will not last long enough. It will not be easy to resettle these displaced people. In addition, after the prince arrives at Linhe, he needs to be more careful. Yue's bearded dog, ready to move...... In the cold winter of last year, he repeatedly crossed the river and plundered. Since this spring, they have been constantly harassing Jiuyuan County, and after the prince crosses the river, he will inevitably have to face them. β
Liu sighed in his heart and said, "Thank you for the general's reminder, Liu will definitely not spare these wall grass!" β
Fence-sitter?
Shima was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood the meaning, couldn't help laughing, and nodded again and again: "The wall grass, the description is really good." Those Yue's dog thieves are like dead grass growing on the wall, and when the wind blows in that direction, they will fall in that direction.
Princely ...... Isn't the Marquis of Wu ...... Your people? β
"Huh?"
Although Liu said that he was very calm, he couldn't help but shudder when he heard the sudden change in the topic of Shima.
"The sudden large-scale transfer of the Wu clan from the Wu clan to Jiuyuan, I felt that something was not quite right.
However, the general welcomed him very much, and in the past two years, it had indeed brought great benefits to Jiuyuan County.
I have privately calculated that the time of the transfer of the Wu clan was the day when the prince fled...... Don't worry about it, I haven't said anything about it. β
No wonder Meng Tian's attention to the relationship is far higher than that of Wang Li.
This person can think, can analyze calmly, and already has the basic conditions for a famous general.
Experienced in many battles and has no desire for fame and fortune, this allows him to go further...... It's a pity that although Shima was also born in the Lantian camp, there are no elders like Wang Jian and Wang Ben after all. He has no background, he is completely step by step, far less than Wang Li's future.
Fusu valued Wang Li from a political point of view.
But in terms of ability, Shema is only afraid that he has a better future than Wang Li......
Shima said softly: "When I told the prince about this matter, I actually wanted to tell you that the Wu clan seemed to have a big deal with the Xiongnu in the past year
, the connection is quite close. As far as I know, Maudon has sent people to meet with the land on several occasions. β
"Huh?"
"People's hearts are unpredictable, and we must guard against them!"
Shima said: "Although the prince and the Wu clan are both businessmen, but the prince has more and heavier military temperament; Wu Shi, on the other hand, is a complete businessman. I tried to get rid of him several times, but because of the general's orders, I couldn't.
If the prince has a heart, he might as well think about it, the relationship between the Wu clan and the land ......"
Liu is really a little worried this time!
Chen Ping is in Jiuyuan County, and he has been in contact with the Wu clan.
If......
Thinking of this, Liu You had to shudder: Daozi, don't let anything happen to you!
Shiruma talked with Liu for a while, then said goodbye and left.
Kui Che walked at the back, and took the opportunity to whisper to Liu +: "Don't worry, the prince is very clever, and he is a landlord who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles." Until the end, he will not confess to Wu Shi. If the Wu clan really has bad intentions, it will be difficult to escape the eyes of the Taoist. β
Liu nodded and forced a laugh.
"Lao Kuai, did Wang Li agree to let you stay here in Shima?"
Kui Che smiled, "Agreed!" β
"Then you have to be careful...... I mean, don't be pushy. is still the same sentence, if the soldiers are gone, I will recruit again, and if the territory is gone, I will rob again. You have only one boss, your life is mine, if I don't agree, you must not die, otherwise I will lose money. β
There is no longer the excitement I had earlier, but my heart is still warm.
Kui Che nodded, "Prince, you also have to take care, don't be a hero." Otherwise, if I'm alive and you're gone, then I won't have anyone to ask for wages. β
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Kuaicher quickly left Liu and came together with Shibu.
The three of them were at the ferry, the horses were circling, giving each other hands, and cherishing each other.
At this time, the wind picked up at the ferry, and the last group of people also boarded the ferry.
Liu was the last to get on the boat, and on the deck of the ship, he glanced at the vast field nostalgically, and then waved his hand and said, "Start the boat!" β
βββββββββββββββββ
In the early autumn of the second year of Qin II, Han Xin fought a brilliant battle in Dongjun.
Since June, Li You has been unusually steady and frantically launched an attack on Daliang. He mobilized all the soldiers and horses under his command, and pushed all the 100,000 guards stationed in Sanchuan County onto the battlefield, day and night, and launched the most fierce attack on the ancient city of Daliang.
Every day, the sound of killing is shouted in the sky above Daliang City all day long.
Hundreds of corpses were lying in the city, outside the city.
The blood dyed the city of Daliang red and black, and it flowed out along the gap in the ridge of the city......
The girder, which was not very strong, cracked after holding out for eight days. Every day around Daliang City, there are countless casualties.
For a time, the eyes of the whole world shifted from Liu on the Long March to the ancient capital of Daliang.
Wei Qi sent twenty-one messengers for help in ten days, most of whom died in the chaos, but there were still messengers who escaped from the battlefield.
Xiang Liang is a little confused!
He didn't understand why Li You, who was inconspicuous earlier, suddenly went crazy?
Don't say that Xiang Liang doesn't understand, and even the chapter can't see the mystery clearly. He once sent someone to inquire, but the answer he got was: I besiege Daliang, which will inevitably make the princes of all sides panic and come to the rescue. Please General Zhang be ready to intercept the princes of all sides.
In fact, whether it was Xiang Liang or Tian Rong, they were secretly observing, and they did not attack immediately.
On the sixth day of the first month of July, the city of Daliang was broken!
The Qin army shouted and made a final attack on Daliang City, but at this time, Han Xin, who was supervising the battle in Dongjun, suddenly appeared outside Daliang City, behind Li Youdi. 30,000 soldiers and horses launched a fierce attack with lightning speed. The Qin army, which was attacked by a sneak attack, was suddenly in chaos. He was already preparing to commit suicide in the palace, and when he learned the news, he immediately organized men and horses and launched a counterattack.
With two pincer attacks, the Qin army was attacked by the enemy on the back and returned defeated.
The 170,000 Qin army, after the battle of Daliang City, lost one-third.
When he retreated to the sour jujube land, he was attacked by General Pu and suffered heavy losses. Yu Ziqi took the lead in capturing the sour jujube and cut off Li Youdi's retreat. In desperation, Li Youbing retreated to Linji and garrisoned Pingqiu. More than ten days ago, he led his troops to besiege Daliang City...... Now, he was surrounded by 200,000 troops of Chu Wei and trapped in the lonely city of Pingqiu, with less than 10,000 soldiers and horses left around him, which can be described as extremely embarrassing.
"Li Pingzhi wants to do something!"
After Zhang arrived at ~ Yang, he jumped like thunder, "This is not his style, he has always been steady with soldiers, why does he show such a big flaw in his back?"
Even the sour dates are ignored, this is pouring out of the nest.
What does he, Li Pingzhi, want to do? β
Li Pingzhi is Li You's character. Pingzhi means to calm the world.
After Li Si gained a firm foothold in Xianyang, he brought Li You back from his hometown Shangcai, and the first emperor married his daughter to Li You and gave him the word Pingzhi.
Li You was sitting steadily in the Pingqiu Mansion at this time, looking calm.
The congregation will listen to the call and come to the government to discuss matters.
But as soon as I entered the gate of the mansion, I saw more than a dozen bloody corpses lying in the courtyard.
A hundred people followed, and they stood murderously on both sides of the courtyard hall.
This scene made the generals feel frightened, swallowed their saliva, and wanted to leave, but now the gate has been blocked by Li You's faction.
"Come in!"
Li You shouted in a deep voice in the hall.
The generals cautiously walked into the hall, but Li You did not wear armor or official clothes, but was dressed in a somewhat white blue-gray casual clothes.
He knelt in the center, the iron sword on the desk in front of him dripping blood down the spine of the sword.
Li You's expression was very relaxed, and he waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down.
"Don't worry, there's no malice.
Whoever is killed outside the door is the eyes and ears of the eunuchs...... Hehe, sit down. β
In his heart, he chuckled, and a pair of eyes stared at Li You in horror.
The grievances between the Li family and Zhao Gao, these generals are not unheard of. All the while, Li You was smiling and didn't seem to be in a big deal. Unexpectedly, the sudden killer actually killed Zhao Gao's eyes and ears? Could it be that Li You wants to ......
For some reason, many people feel relieved for no reason when they think of that possibility.
"Since I left the town of Sanchuan, I have never had a good time drinking with everyone.
Today, there is not much wine, only some Jiangyang old cellars were collected from the city and shared with the princes. β
Personally followed, brought a few Jiangyang old cellars, and poured a cup for everyone. Li You took a sip of his own thoughts, and let out a long and turbid breath.
"Thirty years ago, my father helped the first emperor to behead, seized the power of LΓΌ Buwei, and personally managed the government. I took my family from Shangcai to Xianyang. At that time, I thought that my father would be so beautiful, and before leaving, my mother washed and washed the shirt before setting off with trepidation.
In the past 30 years, I have been favored by the first emperor, and I have even married the eldest princess to me.
I have witnessed the most glorious years of Lao Qin, and now that I think about it, it is
Eyes, as if they were born yesterday.
Lord, respect the first emperor! β
"Respect the first emperor!"
All the generals raised their glasses one after another and shouted loudly.
"Now, it is the autumn of Lao Qin's critical survival, and he should have done his best to worry about the king.
However, this monarch is not the first emperor, because he is physically and mentally haggard, and he is really powerless to turn the tide. There is only one death to repay the kindness of the emperor. β
Isn't it about surrendering?
The generals heard the clues......
looked at Li You one by one confusedly, a little confused what he meant.
"The princes have been with me for many years, and now the situation is that Pingqiu is besieged by hundreds of thousands of troops, and it is difficult to hold on to the city of Pingqiu for three days.
Rather than increase the number of casualties, it is better to ...... Seek a life's path for everyone.
Wait, come down! β
"Lee County Guards ......"
Li You waved his hand, "Actually, I also know that many people such as you have already had such thoughts in their hearts. It's just for the sake of my face......
It's a good thing to have a way to live.
From one word, I hope that the princes will remember: If in the future, my old Qin is hopeful, and I ask the princes to think more, the glory of the old Qin in the past. β
After speaking, Li You asked the generals to open the city gate and surrender, broke the wine glass, and turned around and walked into the inner hall.
The generals were a moment late, and one by one they came out. After some consideration, it was finally decided that Kaesong would surrender.
The commander of the siege of Pingqiu Land was Han Xin and Yu Ziqi.
At first hearing the news of Pingqiu's surrender, Yu Ziqi was still a little hesitant, was this Li Youdi's trick?
Han Xin shook his head, "Brother Ziji, you and I, let's go and see Li You off for a ride." β
"Han Shuai, do you mean Li is ...... him?"
"From the moment he stormed the beam earlier, I was a little pregnant, and he had the heart to die. Now that Pingqiu has surrendered the city, Li You will die! β
Yu Ziqi was born in a businessman, and he was not as good as Long and ~ Bu in terms of force, and he was not as good as Han Xin in terms of intelligence.
But he is Xiang Yu's brother-in-law, and he is loyal to the old Xiang family, otherwise Xiang Liang would not have sent him to assist Han Xin. For Han Xindi's ability, Yu Ziqi admired it very much. Attacking Xue County, instead of rewarding him, he was punished, and Han Xin didn't seem to care at all.
In just two or three months, from more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, he quickly grew to 100,000 troops.
Others are fighting fewer and less, but Han Xin is fighting more and more.
Moreover, the command and dispatch were calm and unhurried, without the slightest confusion. This is a handsome talent, a rare handsome talent!
In his letter to Xiang Yudi, Yu Ziqi was full of praise for Han Xin.
Therefore, he was embarrassed with Han Xin in official affairs, but on the contrary, he tried his best to cooperate, so that Han Xin could display his talents to the fullest.
Now that Han Xin is going to enter the city, although Yu Ziqi is a little frightened, he still surrenders with Han Xin. Han Xin didn't like to kill prisoners, but quickly transferred the troops into the army, broke them up, and mixed them together. Han Xin never held the surrender ceremony, but just asked the generals of Pingqiu to gather their troops and horses, hand over their weapons, and then send someone to take care of them. He was led by the guide and walked to the government together.
As soon as I entered the gate of the palace, I saw corpses everywhere.
Li You's relatives all killed themselves in the courtyard, and there was no one alive.
"These are righteous men, and they should be buried in a good place!"
Yu Ziqi nodded, indicating that he remembered it in his heart. The two stepped on the blood flowing all over the ground, snapping and chirping, making strange sounds.
Li You sat quietly in the study, sitting upright, but there was no sound.
He committed suicide by taking poison!
In front of the bookcase, there is a letter.
The letter was written by Li Si, and Han Xin also recognized Li Si's handwriting. Back then, Liu + asked for words, and Loucang collected a lot of words by Zhao Gaoli Si. Han Xin has been in the building warehouse for many years, and of course he has been in contact with a lot. He read the contents of the letter softly, shaking his head slightly.
β¦β¦ By, I want to go out to Cai Dongmen with your brother, lead the yellow dog at home, and chase the cunning rabbit together...... But I don't know if there is such a chance!
"Han Shuai, Li Sihe, dead?"
Han Xin silently accepted Li Si's letter and put it in his arms.
He quietly looked at Li You's face, which was no longer bloodless, but still with a hint of a smile, and suddenly his heart throbbed.
Perhaps, he is nostalgic for the good times with his father......
"Take good care of Li Junshou's corpse, if we attack Guanzhong one day, and bury his corpse with his family."
Yu Ziqi nodded, but there was still one thought echoing in his mind: Li Si, dead...... Be sure to report to the Major General as soon as possible!
βββββββββββββββββ
At the end of July of the second year of Qin II, Li You was defeated and committed suicide in Pingqiu.
After the news was transmitted to ~Yang, Li You's wife, the only eldest sister of Qin II Ying Huhai, committed suicide by poisoning herself in the back house of the ~Yang County Shoufu.
At the same time, the news of Li Si's death spread all over the north and south of Shandong, and the whole country was shaken.
Under Wang Li's grief and indignation, he defeated the military ministers at Jingguan and soldiers Hengshan County......
In the middle of the eighth month of Zhang, he led his troops to attack Daliang again, broke Daliang City, and killed Wei Qi. Wei Bao's brother Wei Bao escaped from Daliang City under the protection of Zhou City, went all the way east, and gained a firm foothold in Dingtao. In the same month, Zhang Han recaptured Pei County and stayed in the county, and within ten days, Han Xin counterattacked and joined forces with Xiang Yu in Pengcheng......
In November, after Xiang Liang greeted Xiong Xin, the king of Chu, he worshiped Zhuguo, personally supervised the army, and came to Pengcheng to directly appoint Tao.
At the same time, with Xiang Yu as the main commander and Han Xin as the deputy commander, they attacked Dangjun.
At this time, Liu led an army of more than 100,000 displaced people, and after a three-month arduous long journey, he finally walked out of Hengshan and immediately outside the Great Wall.
What came to the face was the vast ancient atmosphere of Henan.
The white expanse of snow covered the straight road that had been built with countless manpower and material resources.
Standing on the endless field, more than 100,000 displaced people cheered at the same time, and the sound echoed for a long time in the cold sky.
"Mother, we're here!"
Lu Wangji and the two of them, supporting their wife to stand on the wheel, shed tears, and said happily and loudly.
"Brother Liu, is this Henan?"
Che Ningdi's little grandson took Liu Qin's hand and asked softly.
Liu, Guan Ying, Ren Ao, Lu Shizhi, Li Bi, Luo Jia, Li Cheng......
The people who fought in this endless land back then couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Caution, we're back!"
Dressed in a black robe, Liu hunted in the wind. Black, dancing in the wind, a golden crown of glittering gold, and a golden forehead two fingers wide......
Liu Gao raised the red flag and shouted: "I'm back!" β
The Red Rabbit hissing wind beast seemed to understand Liu's mood, and stood up with its hooves upright, with a long hiss.
Xi Yuyu......
Reverberate in the sky!

I don't know if it can be updated normally tomorrow, because I contacted the after-sales service of HPP and wanted to send it for repair and inspection.
