Chapter 22: Escape

"General Li, what next?"

Sima Shang asked.

"General Sima, you take two groups of soldiers and horses as soon as possible to ambush the Yan border and the Qin border, especially the Yan border, and I will take the troops back to Handan."

Li Mu immediately made a transfer.

Sima Shang asked again: "General Li thinks Huan Qi will flee in the direction of Handan?" ”

"That's right!"

"The relationship between the general and the king is not good, and the king sees you taking the troops back, but he is afraid that there will be a lot of trouble."

Sima Shang reminded: "The general can go back to Handan, but he must get the king's edict to go back, the Qin army in the north was repelled by the general, and then the king will definitely call the general back, and Han and Wei together to attack the Qin army of Yecheng and Fanwu, I can't go back before that, with my relationship with the general, it is also troublesome for me to lead the troops back, and the king of Zhao may even think that I will rebel with the general." ”

Li Mu hesitated for a while, and finally shook his head and gave up, in case Huan Qi didn't go to Handan, King Zhao might not let him go.

The contradiction between him and Zhao Wangqian was not a matter of one or two days, and he said: "General Sima will go to the Yan border, I will go to the Qin border, and by the way, I will recover Chili, let's arrange it like this first." ”

"If Huan Qi really escapes in the direction of Handan, his life should not be extinguished."

Sima Shang said that, so he went down to arrange and prepared to go to the Yan border to ambush the Qin army.

Huan Qi went deep into the Zhao realm, wanting to get rid of the pursuers as quickly as possible, going to Yan Country is the closest, Ying Zheng and Yan Prince Dan are old acquaintances, Zhao and Yan have always had grievances, and there is a high probability that they will help the Qin army.

——

Huan Qi fled deep into the mountains, and finally saw no pursuers, so that the exhausted soldiers stopped and rested temporarily.

After a while, the broken soldiers followed.

Zhang Han and the others took a quick look and hurriedly shouted, "Bai Baijiang, where are you?" ”

They couldn't find Bai Zhong's figure, and a bad premonition came to their hearts.

Wang Li also came quickly when he heard this, and everyone shouted for a while, but they couldn't get a response from Bai Zhong.

"Where are our hundred generals?"

Tian Zhen grabbed a soldier and asked.

"The Zhao army wanted to kill the white generals, and in order to let us leave, he grabbed a war horse, killed the enemy, and led away the cavalry."

The soldier said weakly.

"What!"

The crowd exclaimed.

Zhang Han said: "I'll go find General Baibai." ”

"Stop!"

Wang Li could let them go back to die, and hurriedly stopped the people.

The turmoil here quickly attracted Huan Qi's attention, and he came over and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Hou Wenshan's eyes were hot, and he choked up: "Our hundred generals Bai Zhong may have died in battle!" ”

They followed Bai Zhong's side, they could kill the enemy, get the title, promote the military rank, and survive, and they were very supportive of Bai Zhong in their hearts, especially Zhang Han, who learned that Bai Zhong did not follow at this time, like a thunderbolt from the sky.

Huan Qi was shocked, and regretted: "I didn't listen to Bai Baijiang's persuasion, not only killed so many warriors in Daqin, but also killed Bai Baijiang, I ......"

Before he finished his words, he sighed, and it was useless to regret it at this time.

"Ben Shuai, regret it!"

Huan Qi is like ten years old, and he has fought for Great Qin for decades, but it is the first time that he has been defeated so badly.

"General, there is a fast horse coming up the hill and is heading in our direction."

At this point, a scout ran back and said.

"Only one horse?"

"Only one horse!"

"It could be the enemy's scout, take it first!"

Huan Qi said coldly.

"I'll go!"

Zhang Han was full of anger, he couldn't vent it, he didn't care about military discipline or anything, he picked up the sword in his hand and went down the mountain.

A group of soldiers quickly stopped the fast horse.

"Your own people, don't do it!"

"I'm Bai Zhong."

Bai Zhong chased here like a bloody man, and when he saw Qin Jun stopping him, he knew that he had misunderstood, and quickly jumped off the horse to identify himself.

"It's really a white general!"

"White Hundred Generals!"

Zhang Han ran over first and hugged Bai Zhong directly.

After a while, Tian Zhen, Hou Wenshan and others also ran over, crying with joy, and all the soldiers who had broken off also cheered.

Wang Li was first delighted, and then shocked beyond words.

Bai Zhong led away so many cavalry alone, and he could still kill them, and looking at the blood stains on his body, one can imagine how tragic the battle was at that time, and I don't know how many enemies died under Bai Zhong's sword.

Bai Baijiang, it's really a killing god!

"Get out of the way!"

Bai Zhong pushed them away and said, "What kind of body does a big man's hug become?" There are eighty-six of us, how many are left? ”

Hou Wenshan said: "With the addition of Bai Baijiang, there are only fifty-four people left. ”

They were silent at the same time.

War deaths are inevitable.

Bai Zhong saw Huan Qi coming over, and arched his hand: "General, Bai Zhong, a hundred generals, is back." ”

Huan Qi said: "Bai Baijiang, Ben Shuai is sorry for you!" ”

"The handsome man is serious!"

Bai Zhong nodded slightly, and said, "We should evacuate this place as soon as possible, our subordinates are worried that Zhao Jun will chase after us again." ”

Huan Qi was about to give the order to prepare to leave, but after thinking about it, he asked again: "General Bai Bai, where do we go?" ”

"Handan!"

Bai Zhong said these two words lightly.

The deputy general on the side retorted: "We go to Handan to send death, subordinates think that we should go to Yan State, the king and Yan Prince Dan are old friends, in addition, Yan Zhao is not in harmony, Yan State will definitely send troops to escort us back to Qin State when we know our predicament." ”

Bai Zhong explained: "Although going to Handan is to send people to death, but the most dangerous place is also the safest, Li Mu would not have imagined that we may flee to Yan Kingdom, and there must be an ambush on the border." ”

Huan Qi asked, "Li Mu can also judge that we will go to Handan." ”

He also understands this truth, but going to Handan is tantamount to throwing himself into the net.

"He can judge, but he doesn't dare to lead the troops back to Handan, neither Li Mu nor Sima Shang dare."

"Li Mu and King Zhao have a discordant relationship, and he can't go back without King Zhao's edict, otherwise King Zhao may kill him."

"Even if he asks someone to send a letter back now, informing King Zhao that he is on guard and intercepted on the road to Handan, it will be too late in time."

"We can go south in the direction of Handan first, but we don't really need to get close to Handan, come to the vicinity of Fanwu, and then go back through Fanwu, with General Wang Ben to answer, it is safer than going to Yanguo."

Bai Zhong also added in his heart that if Fanwu's Qin army was still there, he could go.

These words made Huan Qi and the others fall into deep thought.

Thinking of Bai Zhong's previous prediction, it was basically realized, because Huan Qi didn't listen to it, it would lead to such an end, this time he decided to gamble, and said: "Pass on the commander's military order, the whole army will rest for half an hour, and then set off south to Handan, and at the same time let people contact General Wang Ben of Fanwu in advance." ”

Hearing that he finally believed in himself for once, Bai Zhong was a little relieved.

"An army of 100,000 has set out, and there are only more than 20,000 people left, who can flee here with me, and the rest have already ...... Alas! ”

Huan Qi sighed regretfully.

"General, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers."

Bai Zhong didn't know what to say, in fact, Huan Qi did something wrong.
