Chapter 53: Rescuing the Prince
A carriage galloped along with dozens of soldiers, and the sound of horses' hooves could be heard behind it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info An army under the banner of the Wei State appeared in front of you.
The soldiers behind the carriage saw that the pursuers were in a hurry, and hurriedly stood in a row with the intention of blocking and buying time for the carriage to escape. The emperor waved the whip in his hand heavily, and the chariot pounced with a group of Wei soldiers.
The horses' hooves galloped, and the soldiers were either killed or wounded, and the chariot did not pause and pounced directly in the direction of the carriage. Seeing that the chariot of the Wei State was about to crash into the carriage, Zhao Yu drove the chariot to appear with dozens of forbidden troops. The royal whip was waved, and the chariot slammed into it.
There was a huge impact from the side, and the Wei chariot lost its balance and fell to the ground. Dozens of forbidden soldiers followed closely behind and slaughtered among the Wei army.
Suddenly, the soldiers of the Wei State were in a panic, and although they numbered in the hundreds, they also fell into a disadvantage. As time passed, the soldiers of the Wei State gradually reacted and fought against the forbidden army.
The carriage slowly dissipated in front of him, and Zhao Yu breathed a long sigh of relief. Subconsciously wanted the emperor to turn the chariot, but found that he and those forbidden soldiers were unknowingly surrounded by enemies.
The Wei generals climbed out of the chariot that had fallen to the ground, and walked towards the encirclement surrounded by soldiers: "Zhao Yu, the prince of Zhao State, it seems that the general has caught a big fish."
"Ben General? A centurion of the Wei State actually dared to call himself a general in front of Lone? āć Zhao Yu glanced at the Wei generals with disdain.
The centurion of the Wei State looked Zhao Yu up and down, and smiled mockingly: "This prince of the dead country is sometimes not as good as a commoner."
"Dead country? The strength of our Zhao country is still there, and it is too early to talk about the death of the country." Zhao Yu retorted that the siege of Handan was a great shame in his life, and he must take it as a warning after he ascended the throne in the future.
The centurion of the Wei State put his hand towards Handan and pointed to it: "Handan, the capital of your Zhao State, has been defeated by our Wei State, this is not a dead country, what else can it be."
"Handan? This is just a Handan, and he does not represent the entire Zhao State." Zhao Yu didn't want to talk to the Wei centurion, and handed a glance to the surrounding forbidden army, and the soldier consciously raised the bronze sword in his hand and slashed at the Wei soldiers.
The Centurion of Wei angrily drew the sword at his waist and slashed and counterattacked with his soldiers. Suddenly, the sound of swords and soldiers intersecting was endless, and Zhao Yu took out a sword from the chariot and rushed towards the Wei army.
Not far away, the deafening sound of horses' hooves sounded, Xue Qian rode a horse and ran in front, seeing Zhao Yu surrounded by the Wei army, he slapped his horse heavily and rushed over with the army behind him. When the Wei centurion saw the arrival of Zhao reinforcements, he was anxious and couldn't continue to besiege Zhao Yu, so he hurriedly fled with his soldiers.
The soldiers of Wei had just taken a step and were about to run all the way when they saw a sky full of dust in front of them. Immediately afterwards, Zhao Wuming arrived with three thousand personal soldiers. A round of arrows rained down with the sound of swords, and the soldiers of Wei fell in a pool of blood.
Zhao Wuming walked in front of Zhao Yu and turned over and dismounted, Zhao Yu's eyes were a little puzzled, but when he saw some soldiers, he was gradually relieved: "Thanks to the help of the fourth brother, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."
"If the eldest brother wants to thank him, thank Xue Duwei, it is Xue Duwei who cares about the safety of the eldest brother. That's why he hurriedly told me the location of my eldest brother." Zhao Wuming smiled at Zhao Yu and casually pointed at Xue Qian who was walking over.
Xue Qian hurriedly saluted Zhao Yu: "This is just the duty of a courtier, and the fourth prince praised it."
"Lonely thanks to the fourth brother and Xue Duwei." Zhao Yu saluted respectfully to the two of them as a token of thanks.
Xue Qian panicked for a while: "The prince can't help it, he can't do it."
"How can the grace of saving lives not be used". Zhao Yu ignored the salute and looked at Zhao Wuming with a somewhat complicated expression: "Brother Wei has always been unable to figure out where you got these soldiers, now that I think about it, maybe you are just dealing with this matter, I don't know if what I said is right."
"Well, I'm just doing this to survive." Zhao Wuming did not hide it from the two of them, and admitted it generously.
Zhao Yu heard Zhao Wuming admit so calmly, and he was a little annoyed and hated that iron could not become steel: "Fourth brother, why are you so confused, you can just tell your father about such a thing, why do you have to take such a big risk to borrow troops from the clans."
"Will King Zhao listen? Wei Guo is full of eyeliner, if I tell me in advance, will there be any more twists and turns." Zhao Wuming asked Zhao Yu rhetorically.
Zhao Yu looked at Zhao Wuming dumbly for a long time: "What are you going to do next?"
"Go to the letter capital". Zhao Wuming felt Zhao Yu's concern and smiled at him.
Zhao Yu obviously didn't expect this answer, and fell into contemplation for a while, showing a worried look for a long time: "Once the Wei State fully occupies Handan, with the power of a great victory, do you say that this letter can still be kept?"
"Reinforcements from all over the country have not arrived, and it is difficult to rely on only 100,000 defenders in Xindu." Zhao Wuming thought about the scene he saw along the way, hundreds of people were displaced, and a trace of compassion quietly spread.
Zhao Yu was silent again, and looked at the pro-soldiers who were fighting with the Wei army in front of him, and his tone was a little indignant: "The Wei State is attacking, and my Zhao State has the strength but no time to dispatch, which is really hateful."
"There is a flat river between Handan and Xindu, and there is no danger to defend. Zhao Guo lost Handan first, and if he lost his trust, it would be a big deal." Yun Miao rode slowly on horseback, saw the two turn over and dismount, and saluted Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu was slightly stunned when he saw Yun Miao, and hurriedly went over to help him: "I can see the deputy envoy of Yan State here, and my lonely heart can be regarded as a little more stable."
"With Prince Lao's concern, the ministers are grateful." Yun Miao said very respectfully, as if the matter of going to prison had not happened.
Zhao Yu seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Yun Miao, with a hint of expectation in his eyes: "Yan and Zhao have always been good friends, and at this time, our country was attacked by Wei and suffered heavy losses. I don't know if I can ask your envoy to return to China, explain the situation to King Yan, and send troops to rescue my Zhao State."
"Before the foreign envoy departed, my king commanded. The three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, and Han originally belonged to the Three Jin Dynasty, and if there is a dispute, it is a family matter, and outsiders such as us should not interfere." Yun Miao used the words of the former Yan King to directly block back. Now that the situation is unclear, how can he rashly agree as an envoy.
Zhao Yu showed a disappointed look, if he didn't survive this catastrophe, he was afraid that all countries in the world would not send reinforcements: "King Yan's words are reasonable, and Lone will not be embarrassed."
"Thank you for the prince's understanding." Yun Miao bowed to Zhao Yu again to express his gratitude, this muddy water Yan Kingdom should not step in at this time.
Zhao Wuming's eyes searched everywhere, and his brows gradually rose: "Big brother, why didn't I see the figure of Qingque."
"Blue Sparrow? Didn't the blue finch go to the prison to find you? āć The conversation between the two was interrupted, and Zhao Yu looked at Zhao Wuming with some confusion.
Zhao Wuming was taken aback, and looked at Zhao Yu: "But I didn't see Qingque, where did he go."
"The prince and the lord are in chaos here, and it is not appropriate to stay for a long time." When the last Wei soldier fell to the ground, Sun Buer and Qingque walked quickly and prompted Zhao Wuming.
When Zhao Yugang wanted to talk about Qingque, he heard Sun Buer and Fan Shun's prompts, and hurriedly pointed to Zhao Wuming: "The queen mother is behind, maybe Shen Tuxiu will know the news of Qingque."
"Okay, let's go see the queen mother now." As the commander of the forbidden army, Shen Tuxiu was responsible for guarding the palace, and it was impossible for him not to pay attention to Qingque's whereabouts yesterday. Zhao Wuming turned over and got on his horse, and took the prince and the others to run in the direction of the galloping carriage just now.
