Chapter 107: Compromise between the two sides (Ask for support!!)
Dugu sat cross-legged on the side of the road, stroking the long sword in his hand while waiting for Lian Po and Li Mu's army to come.
Stompe!
Stal, stomp!
The sound of horses' hooves in two directions is getting closer and closer.
And Dugu's heart became more and more calm, although it was not the first time he had faced thousands of enemies. But it was definitely the first time that it was faced, and it was fought by two commanders who knew how to fight.
So I have some expectations, hoping to find a closer opportunity in this big war.
Lian Po and Li Mu approached quickly, and when they saw Dugu on the side of the road seeking defeat, they immediately ordered their subordinates to stop.
Li Mu saw that there were no two winners, and found the horseshoe prints on the path next to him, and knew that he had escaped by the other party again.
But Lian Po didn't care about those, and looked at Dugu coldly and said, "It's you who have helped Winning Chu escape many times in secret?"
"Yes, it's me. β
"Do you want to be an enemy of my entire Zhao Kingdom?"
Dugu slowly got up, stood up and looked at Lian Po and Li Mudao: "I am entrusted by people and loyal to people, and I don't want to be an enemy of Zhao State." β
Li Mu and the two felt the other party's fighting intent and knew that they were going to do it.
Although Li Mu and Lian Po knew that the other party was the most holy realm, the two of them had a large army, and they might not be able to fight each other.
Dugu also felt the change of the other party, and said domineeringly: "You two go together!"
Li Mu looked at the other party's arrogant demeanor and said, "Since the Holy Seniors have confidence, why don't we go to a showdown." β
Knowing that the two of them didn't want to waste time here when he was alone seeking defeat, they wanted to quickly resolve the battle and pursue the two of them.
But he Dugu begged for defeat and believed that after the time he fought for Dugu for defeat, they would definitely be able to rush to the Hangu Pass of Qin State in advance.
So he said with a strong fighting spirit: "Yes." β
Li Mu and Lian Po said to their subordinates: "All the soldiers listen to the order and form a formation?"
"No!"
Rise!
Chirp!
Dugu looked at Lian Po and the others in the direction of the group, condensing a dragon, but above Li Mu and the others was a vermilion bird.
And I heard the news that the Sect Ancestor told him, saying that after Bai Qi formed a military formation, there was a white tiger in the sky.
Hiss!
Could it be that the four famous generals of the Warring States period represent the four holy beasts, otherwise it would not be so coincidental.
Seeing that Li Mu and Lian Po were ready, Dugu sought defeat to suppress this matter and release his own Dao.
The Boundary Knot of the Sword!
At this time, the sky is on.
A supreme sword represents the supreme and undefeated sword that Dugu seeks defeat.
A Vermilion Bird that burned everything, representing Li Mu is good at charging into battle and riding and shooting.
A dragon that encompasses everything represents Lian Po's battle formation that is both offensive and defensive.
Jiaolong strikes!
Suzaku burns the sky!
The pikemen under Lian Po's command, under Lian Po's order, sent out a sky-breaking blow with all their might, as if they were going to stab the sky.
But the archers under Li Mu's command, under Li Mu's order, integrated all their spirit into the arrows in their hands and sent out a killing arrow.
But in Dugu's perception of defeat, the dragon in the sky slapped at him with a sharp blow from the dragon's tail, but the Vermilion Bird shook its wings, and the dense Vermilion Bird feathers shot at him overwhelmingly.
Dugu Qiu Qiu drew the long sword in his hand, and flew into the sky giant sword.
A lonely sword!
It brings together all the sword moves of Dugu to defeat him, as well as the sword intent, and the perception of the sword, and sends out a full sword.
Boom!
The giant swords, vermilion birds, and dragons in the sky all dissipated after a loud bang.
Lian Po and Li Mu, as well as Dugu Qiu, were all shocked back to their original places, and all three were injured.
Li Mu let go of the move of being supported by his subordinates, looked at Dugu in the distance and said, "But do you still need to continue to block me and wait?"
But Dugu recovered his body after seeking defeat, and after standing, he looked at the scratches on the long sword in his hand and said, "I have completed my task below, please do it!"
Li Mu and Lian Po immediately ordered: "All the soldiers, follow the generals!"
Thundered!
Looking at the group of Zhao cavalry who left, Dugu knew that he had done what he had to do.
After all, whether it was Li Mu and Lian Po, or the soldiers under their command, as well as the war horses, they all consumed a lot of energy from his lonely pursuit of defeat.
This is also enough for Ying Chu and LΓΌ Buwei to escape from South Korea.
Burst!
Dugu wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, and said with a wry smile: "It's not enough, it seems that you have to continue to sharpen your own way!"
But in the army of Zhao Guo who left, and there was no momentum in front of Dugu's defeat just now, most of them looked like they were going to fall at any time.
After all, everyone has sent out a full blow, and they have drained their spirits, and if they can hold on, they should still insist on the obsession in their hearts.
And Li Mu and Lian Po in front of them spurted out a mouthful of blood almost at the same time, and their momentum also weakened a little.
The guard said with concern: "General, are you okay?"
"No visit, continue the pursuit. β
"No!"
......
The border between Qin and South Korea.
After two days of pursuit, what they were waiting for was that Li Mu and Lian Po watched Ying Chu being picked up by the Qin State, and knew that they were powerless to return to the sky.
And also understands that their Zhao State will become a laughing stock in the Seven Kingdoms, and their prestige will plummet, and their diplomatic relations with various countries will never return.
So Lian Po said with some hatred: "Let's withdraw!"
Li Mu also said helplessly in his heart: "Withdraw!"
The Qin State and South Korea on the border did not have a chance to go to the angry Zhao State, and let the Zhao State lead the troops away.
Zhao Guo, Handan City.
After Lian Po led his troops to pursue and win Chu, all forces had to wait for the results.
I want to know if it was the Qin State that was killed as the heir of the crown prince, or the Zhao State was disgraced, after all, it was related to various forces, and how to face the relationship between the Zhao State next.
In the courtyard of Lear.
After hearing the reward of Dugu's defeat, Li Er was a little silent.
If you really go to Dugu to seek defeat, there is really a certain connection between the four famous generals of the Warring States.
Although people in this period still don't pay attention to the fame of the Bai Qi Four, after all, the Bai Qi Four are just a general in this period, and the masters of those forces really haven't seen the Bai Qi Four.
But the four of them can be called the four famous generals of the Warring States Period, and it is definitely not so casual to talk about it.
[Ding~ Side quest 3: Help Ying Zheng's father Ying Chu return to Qin. γ
[Ding~ completed. γ
[Ding~ Reward: 5,000 Qi Luck Value. γ
[Ding~ Side quest 4: After Ying Chu becomes the prince of Qin, escort Ying Zheng back to Qin, and reward 5,000 luck. γ
It seems that the Qin State has already received Ying Chu, but I don't know how the Lord of the Zhao State will deal with this matter.
As he spoke, Li Er looked in the direction of Handan Wangcheng.
Handan, inside the royal city.
Li Mu and Lian Po and others, after a period of marching, finally returned to Handan.
But as soon as he returned to Handan City, he was directly summoned by King Zhao to meet the two.
At this moment, in the main hall of King Zhao's palace, there is a state of kindness and harmony between the monarchs and ministers. Among them, there are Feiyi, Lou Slow, Lin Xiangru, Yu Qing, Zhao Sheng, Zhao Hao, and other famous generals.
Although the Zhao State was destroyed by the Qin State before, more than 400,000 elite soldiers were wiped out at once, plus the annual conquests, the national strength and there were not many left.
However, there are many people who are fierce, advocate strength, generous and sad, and have been taught the art of war, so as long as Zhao is given time, he will definitely be able to quickly regain his military power.
"The guilty minister is Lian Po, see the king!"
"Minister Li Mu, see the king, I am ashamed of the king's expectations, please ask the king to surrender!"
King Zhao and the secret report from the spies knew everything that had happened, and knew that it was not the fault of the two of them, that there were too many forces secretly helping each other, and that other forces wanted to see him Zhao Guo embarrassment.
"Both generals, please get up! All this can only be blamed on me, Zhao Guo's weakness, not for the general's incompetence. β
"Minister Li Mu (Lian Po), thank the king for forgiveness!"
King Zhao saw the other ministers of the main hall and said, "Everyone, how can we Zhao solve this matter?"
Guo Kai, who was standing behind the hundred officials, stood up and said: "King Qiqi, the minister has a plan!"
"What a strategy, let's talk about this king. β
"King Qiqi, Ying Zi Chu has a wife and a son in Handan City, although Ying Zi Chu fled from my Zhao Kingdom, his wife and children are still in Handan City. β
King Zhao looked at the others and asked, "Is there such a thing?"
Lin Xiangru, who was the prime minister of Zhao State, stood up and said: "Back to the king, Ying Zichu does have a son who is Ying Zheng, because after Ying Zheng was born, he spent most of his time in the other courtyard of the sect leader, so not many people know about it. β
King Zhao looked at Guo Kai and said, "Doctor Guo, how do you plan to do it?"
"Back to the king, the minister felt that he could kill the wife and children of Yingzi Chu to show my King Zhao's determination to fight against Qin. β
"The king must not!"
Lou Xuan also slowly stood up and continued: "If you kill them, all the countries in the world will think that it is unkind for Zhao to kill hostages, and diplomacy with various countries will also fall into the ice valley, which will be unfavorable to Zhao State, and my Zhao State may also fall into a critical situation."
Report!
"Your Majesty, the head of the Human Sect asks to see you outside the palace. β
When King Zhao heard the arrival of the Human Sect Master, he immediately said, "Please come in!"
"Yes!"
The herald immediately went to convey the order of King Zhao.
And everyone in the main hall also bowed their heads and pondered, thinking about the coming of the human sect master, what is the meaning?
"Poor Daoist Sect Master, I've seen King Zhao!"
In fact, Li Er didn't plan to come, as far as the four famous generals of the Warring States Period were concerned, two of them were from King Zhao, and he wanted to figure out the key between the four, so he couldn't put it too well.
And King Zhao also saw the sect leader for the first time, and said in a calm tone: "Sect leader, I don't know if you are still used to living in my King Zhao." β
"Thank you King Zhao for your concern, it's good to be poor. β
"Then I don't know, why did the Holy Sect Master come here?"
"Coming for my apprentice Yingzheng. β
"I don't know how to solve the problem of the Holy of Heavens?"
"As the saying goes, the disaster will not affect the family, presumably King Zhao also has this heart!"
Although Li Er could only ask and answer a simple question with King Zhao, the two sides represented their respective forces, and there were too many things to consider, so they couldn't blindly act arbitrarily.
Therefore, King Zhao, who was commanded by Li Er, was silent, he had to think about the entire Zhao country, and he couldn't be rash.
And Li Er continued: "Zhao Ji, the wife of Winning Chu, and her son Ying Zheng did not run away, and their mother and son can still be the protons of Zhao State. β
In fact, with Li Er's idea, he planned to directly take Ying Zheng's mother and son to Qin State, but the task released by the system was that Ying Zichu needed to become the crown prince of Qin State before he could send Ying Zheng back to Qin State.
I don't know what is at stake here, but I can only complete side quest 4 before I can move on to the next quest.
So now Li Er let Yingzheng stay in Handan City safely for six years after all, and completely wait for Yingzi Chu to become the prince of Qin, and then send Yingzheng back.
But King Zhao thought for a while and said, "However, this king can decide to forgive the mistakes of Yingzheng's mother and son." β
"Good!" Li Er knew that this was King Zhao's promise of benefits, but then, Li Er understood that King Zhao was about to start putting forward conditions.
"But because of Ying Zichu's departure, which led to the loss of my King Zhao, how does the Sect Master of the Human Sect think he can make up for it?"
"I have taught a good way to heal the disease, which can relieve the suffering of the people of Zhao State. β
"Good, this king can allow Yingzheng to walk in Handan City at will. β
"This sect leader is willing to serve as a master (teacher) in Handan Academy and teach Zhao Guo's students for five years. β
"Good, in the future, Yingzheng can be treated as a nobleman in Zhao State. β
Subsequently, after Li Er negotiated with King Zhao, he also left the palace of King Zhao City.
And the news that the head of the Human Sect served as the master of the Handan Academy also spread quickly to the surrounding forces.
Zhao also took the opportunity to use Li Er's fame to make friends with other countries, and let the surrounding countries temporarily put away their different thoughts, and also gave Zhao Guo valuable time to recover his national strength.
In fact, Zhao Guo does not need much time, it only takes half a year for Zhao Guo to recover to the level of the middle of the Seven Kingdoms.
And all this Li Er acquiesced to, and it was also the tacit understanding between him Li Er and King Zhao, and the spies from other parties could not find out his Li Er's true thoughts.
