Chapter 51: The Blue Sparrow Goes Missing
The sun slowly rose, and the Wei army in the city of Handan became more and more numerous, and the defenders gradually retreated. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoCountless people dragged their families and fled to the other three city gates.
Outside the east gate, a soldier retrieved his horse, weapon, and armor, and began to assemble with some improvised dry food. King Zhao originally planned to release the evidence of Zhao Wuming's guilt in the court, and then lock up these scattered materials as ironclad evidence. But I didn't expect that the Wei State would actually attack in the middle of the night, so these materials have been placed in place.
Fan Shun hurriedly ran over with a few personal soldiers, and when he saw Zhao Wuming sitting on the war horse, he hurriedly bowed: "Son, due to the chaos in the city, we have not found any trace of Qingque."
"Lord Qi, I just learned. The Wei army has reached the west gate of the palace, and most of Handan has been lost." Sun Buer hurriedly walked over, and his tone was a little hurried when he saluted Zhao Wuming.
Zhao Wuming looked up in the direction of Handan City, his fists gradually clenched unconsciously. I thought I was escaping, but I didn't want the green finch to be in the city and didn't know where to go, how good is this: "I want to go into the city to find the green sparrow."
"The lord must not be, now that the Wei State has invaded in a big way, the city has long been in chaos. Even if we three thousand people go in, not only will we not be able to find the green sparrow, but we will also be in danger." Sun Buer hurriedly dissuaded, in his heart, Zhao Wuming's safety was the first place, and the others could only be slightly back.
Fan Shun thought of the situation he was facing now, and hurriedly dissuaded: "Son, for the sake of today, we can only get out of the crisis by leaving Handan as soon as possible and going to Xindu." Otherwise, once the Wei State completely occupies Handan, then we will be in trouble."
"Qingque will never leave me, how can I bear to bear him". Zhao Wuming thought that Qingque's heart was gradually anxious, he originally thought that he had escaped, but he didn't expect to come out and face such a situation. What does the rise and fall of Zhao have to do with himself, but why is Qingque missing.
Fan Shun's brows gradually rose, and he continued to explain to Zhao Wuming: "Childe, is the life of Qingque more important, or the lives of more than 3,000 of us."
Zhao Wuming was stunned for a moment, thinking of the three thousand soldiers and the scene in Handan City, and sighed silently in his heart.
Fan Shun saw that Zhao Wuming's expression was a little relaxed, and hurriedly continued to persuade: "Qingque went to the East Palace to ask for help, and when the Wei State invaded Handan, it should be in the prince's palace." So the villain concluded that the blue finch was not too dangerous."
"The lord and Fan Shun's analysis is not unreasonable, since Qingque is in the prince's place, then his safety should be no problem." Sun Buer also hurriedly persuaded him, seeing that Handan was about to be fully occupied by the Wei State, if he didn't leave immediately now, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to leave after a while.
Zhao Wuming seemed a little hesitant, and there seemed to be two voices arguing in his heart: "Prince, I hope that the eldest brother can protect the green finch well."
"I think Qingque would be very happy if he knew about Childe's concern about him." Fan Shun's heart warmed, and he became more and more determined to follow Zhao Wuming.
Zhao Wuming squeezed out a smile, and then changed the topic: "Handan can't stay any longer, but with my current status, where can this Zhao country tolerate me."
"Sindu". Just as Zhao Wuming was asking, Yun Miao came slowly on horseback.
Zhao Wuming looked at Yun Miao and shook his head slightly: "I am a sinner and a rebellious son. Isn't it self-defeating to write to the letter? handed over his life and death to King Zhao again."
"Sinners? What about the evidence? When did King Zhao issue an order to tell the world about your crimes?" Yun Miao looked at Zhao Wuming and asked a series of rhetorical questions.
Zhao Wuming was dumbfounded.
"Who will King Zhao take to arrest you". Yun Miao continued to ask.
"With the crown prince, Zhao Yan, Zhao Fan, Shen Tuxiu and the forbidden army."
"Are there any civil and military officials?".
"Nope".
"Are there any elders of the royal family present?".
"Nope".
"Now does King Zhao have ironclad evidence in his hands to prove your crime to the hundred officials and the royal family who are divided into foreign feuds."
"Nope".
"If you say that these soldiers are the routs you gathered on the way, does King Zhao recognize them?"
"Unrecognizable".
"Now the national crisis is at the head, and there is no evidence. King Zhao killed you, what good is it? “。
Zhao Wuming was stunned for a moment, and looked at Yun Miao: "Can I really go to Xindu?"
"When the national disaster is at the head, if you don't believe in the capital as a son, it won't make the world laugh." Yun Miao looks like a matter of course, it is natural for the clan to go to the country, let alone a son.
Fan Shun seemed to have sensed something, and showed a trace of admiration for Yun Miao, it seemed that his vision was still too narrow: "This national disaster may be a good thing for Gongzi."
"Getting out of prison is naturally a good thing." Zhao Wuming didn't think much about it, just replied subconsciously. Two paths came to mind, one was to go to Sindu. One is to take advantage of this rare opportunity to go to the vast grassland. It's just a long way, and there are too many dangers.
Sun Buer stood in front, silent, just waiting for Zhao Wuming to make a decision. Fan Shun saw that Zhao Wuming didn't react, and said to him again: "Gongzi is going to Xindu now, there will be unexpected benefits."
"The benefits? If King Zhao doesn't kill me, that's the biggest benefit." Fan Shun's words interrupted Zhao Wuming's train of thought, and Zhao Wuming thought of a wry smile flashing at the corner of King Zhao's mouth. It's really incomprehensible that there are fathers and sons like them in the world.
Fan Shun pointed to the three thousand soldiers who had been assembled behind Zhao Wuming: "Now that the army is routed everywhere, didn't you think of anything?"
"Route?". Zhao Wuming's eyes were full of doubts, what did this have to do with the benefits.
Fan Shun explained to Zhao Wuming: "The defenders of Xindu need to defend Xindu and stop the advance of Wei's troops. But what about these routs that are wandering around? The king could not let it go. If Gongzi led an army of 3,000 to Xindu at this time, what kind of thoughts would the king have?"
"Impossible, it is impossible for King Zhao to let me collect the rout." Zhao Wuming instantly understood what Fan Shun meant, and hurriedly vetoed it, which was really too whimsical.
Yun Miao also pointed behind Zhao Wuming: "Time is pressing now, King Zhao has no choice but you."
"He is not afraid that after I have gathered the rout, he will wave his army to attack Xindu. You must know that there is a grudge between me and him." Zhao Wuming didn't believe it at all, who said that he was the youngest son of King Zhao, but there was a feud between the two of them, how could he possibly hand over these hundreds of thousands of military power to himself.
Fan Shun directly said and continued to explain: "Son, don't forget, there are only 3,000 people you can really mobilize. Even if you give the order to attack Sindu, I am afraid that they will not listen to the order."
"Okay, let's go to Xindu, wait for the prince and the green sparrow." Zhao Wuming made a ruthless decision in his heart, and galloped in the direction of Xindu with a whip.
Fan Shun looked at Yun Miao, and the corners of the two showed a smile on the corner of their mouths, and there were pro-soldiers who brought the war horses. Sun Buer and Fan Shun turned on their horses and followed with three thousand soldiers.
