Chapter 14: Zhao Xie Becomes King
Li Liang rebelled, there was a great chaos in Handan City, and in an instant, the city of Handan shouted and killed, the cries of children, the complaints of women, the shouts and scolding of men, the collision of weapons, and the begging of soldiers filled the entire Handan City.
Zhang Er, Chen Yu and others got the news first, and before Li Liang took control of Handan, they fled from Handan City from the north gate, galloping all the way, and in an inconspicuous mountain, everyone dismounted to rest.
At this time, Zhao Guo has been leaderless, everywhere are deserters from Handan, watching Handan City burst into the sky, soldiers splashing, Zhang Er was annoyed, just when everyone was distressed, a cavalry galloped over, stopped in front of Chen Yu and Zhang Er, and arched his hand: "Prime Minister, general, at this time, Li Liang has transferred the soldiers and horses of Xindu to Handan, and Handan City has been completely out of control!" ”
The scout's words made Chen Yu completely angry, he had already drawn his sword in his hand at this time, and roared angrily: "Dog thief, the Zhao State that has just stabilized has been destroyed in his hands like this, come here, gather troops and horses, I will fight Li Liang to the death!" ”
Chen Yu's anger inspired the fighting spirit of the soldiers, and more than a thousand Zhao soldiers brandished their weapons and roared: "Avenge King Zhao!" Avenge King Zhao! ”
Chen Yu saw that the morale was available, so he couldn't help but order: "Assemble the rout, we will march to Handan!" ”
More than 1,000 people were surging like waves, preparing to march to Handan, and Zhang Er said urgently: "Li Liang is powerful, don't be impulsive!" ”
Shen Yang also stopped Chen Yu at this time, and arched his hand: "Since the ancient soldiers have said that the land of danger will be resurrected, we should march to Xindu at this time, which is the best policy!" ”
Sindu? Isn't that the place where Li Liang has been stationed these days? Everyone was a little puzzled, and Shen Yang said: "Li Liang has just taken advantage of the chaos to capture Handan, and his momentum is unstable, so he will inevitably transfer troops to stabilize Handan." Xindu is useless to him, but although we are in turmoil because of the murder of the king, Zhao is fundamentally on our side, and the military and the people are already orthodox, so Xindu can enter! ”
Shen Yang said this, looked at everyone, and wanted to continue talking, but Zhang Er had already understood the meaning of Shen Yang's words, and couldn't help laughing: "This is reasonable, we must not delay, we must march quickly, and we must not delay!" ”
Chen Yu has always listened to Zhang Er's words, at this time Zhang Er has the intention of entering Handan, Chen Yu can't help but be moved, moreover, the Zhao army is in turmoil at this time, the number is not large, and it is not easy to recapture Handan, Chen Yu borrowed Zhang Er's thoughts, and ordered: "Order, enter the army and Xindu!" ”
Soon, the Zhao army marched to Xindu, Li Liang's army near Xindu City had already withdrawn, the Zhao army did not have much effort, occupied Xindu, sent orders to the Quartet, collected the defeated army, closed the city and defended it, north of Zhao, some small counties also raised troops one after another, out of the control of Zhao.
In just a few days, there were no less than 20,000 Zhao troops who came to meet each other, and there were still soldiers who escaped from Handan City to defect to Xindu every day, and a large number of people from other counties and counties rushed to join the Zhao army camp, and the soldiers and horses of Zhang Er and others once again expanded from more than 20,000 people to 50,000, the momentum was huge, the foundation gradually stabilized, and the territory of Zhao gradually stabilized.
At this time, in the county office, everyone gathered again, on whether to attack Handan, everyone had their own opinions, some people advocated that taking advantage of Li Liang's unstable foundation, the commander army should be killed back to Handan, and Li Liang should be driven out of Zhaodi, and some people advocated that Xindu Chu'an should not send troops wantonly to cause panic.
There are also people who directly propose that Zhang Han has defeated Song Liujun, Nanyang County Da'an, I don't know if Zhang Han's next target will be Zhao State, if Zhang Han intends to go north, Zhao State will fall into crisis again, if he starts a war with Li Liang and wins, he can fight against Zhang Han with all his might, but once Zhao Jun can't take Handan for a long time, there is Zhang Han in the south, at that time, it is difficult to ride a tiger, and Zhao Guo is in danger.
There are different opinions, each has its own opinions, Zhang Er and others are also a little confused, they don't know what to do!
"General Li, in my opinion, it is better to go south, whether we can take Xindu or not, at least we have to fight hard, it is much better than sitting still like this!" It was a young general who spoke, at this time, he was refuting Li Zuoche's strategy of delaying the army, but Li Zuoche was not a person who would easily waver in his determination, at this time, since he had made up his mind to stick to the letter and wait for the opportunity, he would fight according to reason, Li Zuoche looked at the young officer angrily, his voice was high-pitched, and he reprimanded: "What do you know? Is it okay to talk nonsense here? ”
"You ......" The young officer was indignant because Li Zuoche despised him, but he really didn't have Li Zuoche's prestige in the army, so he had to forbearance: "Please Li Liangjun for advice!" ”
The middle-aged officer's tone was extremely cold, Li Zuoche did not pay attention to his displeasure, but glanced at the map coldly, and said in a slightly flat tone: "Although Xindu is not a big city, he is in the north, and his strategic position is very important, in addition, our enemy at this time is not only Li Liang, but also the Qin State, if we and Li Liang are both defeated, the final benefit will only be the Qin State, so this matter does not need to be discussed, just wait for the opportunity!" ”
Li Zuoche said his opinion unhurriedly, but Zhang Er disagreed, he was vengeful and wanted to avenge the military ministers. ”
"I didn't mean that......" Li Zuoche didn't finish speaking, Zhang Er had already waved his hand, interrupted Li Zuoche's words, and continued: "If we can't even avenge the king's blood and hatred, I'm afraid that the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the capital will be chilled, one person scatters and hundreds of people scatter, or even thousands of people scatter, ten thousand people scatter, at that time, Zhao State lost the hearts of the people, how to kill Li Liang?" ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Er paused, he looked at everyone intently, and continued: "We might as well unite with Yan State, join forces together, and fight against Li Liang, Handan can be broken!" ”
"No, no!" Shen Yang walked out, waved his hand and said, "This matter must not be done!" ”
Everyone's eyes turned to Shen Yang, and Zhang Er was also slightly displeased, at this time, Shen Yang had come to everyone and sighed: "The chaos of the family, why do outsiders need to ask?" ”
Shen Yang's words were accusing Zhang Er of not moving Yan Guo in, at this time, without waiting for Zhang Er to open his mouth to refute, Shen Yang had already continued: "Prime Minister Zhang Er and General Chen Yu are already the political core of my Zhao State, the representatives of the military, and their decisions are related to the future fate of Zhao State, so please listen to me." ”
Seeing that everyone stopped talking and turned their eyes to themselves, Shen Yangnai continued: "At this time, the Zhao State is like a headless dragon, soaring in the air aimlessly, if you can visit the descendants of the former Zhao royal family to take over the Zhao Kingdom, the morale will inevitably be high, and the soldiers will die. ”
"Visit the descendants of the Zhao Kingdom?" Everyone was talking like ants in a fried pot, and I don't know who spoke first, shouting: "I support An Guojun's proposal." ”
"I support it too!"
"We were originally Zhao people, visit the old master, I have no opinion!"
Zhang Er Chen Yu saw that Shen Yang had said what everyone thought, besides, the two of them were originally Wei people, and they did not have much prestige in Zhao Guoben, perhaps, visiting the descendants of Zhao Guo was the best choice, and the two pondered for a long time, and finally, they nodded their heads.
Zhang Er picked up the bronze sword on the table and ordered: "General Chen Yu continues to recruit troops and strictly guard the city, I have decided to personally visit the descendants of Zhao State, I swear, if I can't bring back the descendants of Zhao State, I will not return for life!" ”
。。。。。。
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed, and at this time, Xindu City has been freed from the chaos of the loss of Handan, the army is unified, and the city defense is tight.
Li Liang has also spied on Xindu many times, wanting to eliminate the main force of the Zhao army here, and then wave his troops to regain the Zhao land one after another, and he has long planned to surrender to the Qin army, but at present, Li Liang's strength is still weak, so he has to recruit troops every day and train strictly.
The strength of the two sides is equal, and no one takes the lead in provoking a war, at this time, on the tower of Xindu, Chen Yu and Li Zuoche and other generals are inspecting the rolling wood and thunder stones and other weapons to defend the city.
30,000 feather arrows were also transported to the city one after another, so to speak, the war would start at any time, but Zhang Er had been away for half a month, and there was no news, which made Chen Yu a little worried in his heart.
But what Chen Yu is more worried about is the future of Zhao State, he doesn't know if Zhao State can't find the descendants of the former royal family, will there be political discord again, a country, the most feared is disagreement.
At this time, Chen Yu and others came to an item storage area, Chen Yu opened a wooden box, took out a feather arrow, looked at it carefully, the feather arrow was finely made, Chen Yu was very satisfied, he couldn't help but smile and nodded, at this time, a soldier hurriedly ran over, Lang smiled and said: "General, the prime minister is back." ”
After hearing this, Chen Yu couldn't help laughing, and turned back to everyone: "Go, follow me to have a look." ”
Outside the city gate, a team of carriages is slowly coming, there are about 20 people, gorgeously dressed, guarding on both sides of the convoy, soon, the city gate of Xindu slowly opened, not far away, Chen Yu with more than 100 personal retinue and generals galloped to the convoy.
Soon, the two teams met, and the convoy gradually stopped advancing, at this time, the curtain of the leader was lifted, and he walked out with a big smile, and arched his hand: "Everyone, I haven't seen you for a long time, you have always been good?" ”
Seeing that it was really Zhang Er, Chen Yu couldn't help laughing and greeted him: "Brother Er, you can make us wait." ”
Just when everyone saluted, laughing and talking, there was a wave of people rushing out of the city, the leader was An Guojun Shenyang, soon, they came to Zhang Er and others in front of each other, saluting each other, at this time, the carriage in the back was also lifted the curtain, a middle-aged man about thirty years old walked out, he gave everyone a deep salute: "In Xia Zhao Xie, I have seen all the adults." ”
"Zhao Xie?" After a short period of consternation, everyone reacted, the surname Zhao is the former surname of Zhao State, and the person in front of him at this time must be Zhang Er to take over the position of Wuchen and regain control of the new monarch of Zhao State. ”
Three days later, Zhao Jun built an altar in the north of Xindu, set up Zhao Xie as the king of Zhao, Feng Zhang Er as the prime minister, Chen Yu as the general, Shen Yang as the doctor, and Li Zuoche as the Zhonglang general.
