Chapter 384: The Way to Get Out
The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind. Wu Rui is not only a mantis, but also a big fish seduced by the bait.
"Before they arrived at Wancheng, King Hengshan and his son met the Chu soldiers from Han Dynasty and attacked the west. On the way back, they heard that Hengshan County was invaded by the Lu family. Yingbu's subordinate Ben He led troops to pursue him. King Hengshan was surrounded by enemies on three sides and was still fleeing to the west of Nanyang.
The army was defeated. Doctor Chen and the generals were trapped in Danshui in Yingbu and had no time to escape."
Listening to the report from his subordinates, Yang Xi felt dizzy. The situation that Ziying had set up in the past was now completely destroyed. The land of Yan fell apart, and the Hengshan Kingdom was unable to cope with itself. It really had no help from inside or outside.
"Your Majesty should not have led this expedition. If it were Chen He, Chen Xi, and Li Xin who were in charge, they would still be able to share the King's worries. But now... I can only sit back and wait for death." Yang Xifu
Sigh.
"The commander is worried, now is far from the time for defeat. Xiang Yu originally wanted to conquer Xingyang, but when he heard that Wu Rui had left Hengshan, he turned west to save his defeat in World War II. Your Majesty still has a chance," the subordinate said.
"How long can it last?"
Yang Xi smiled helplessly, as Ziying said before, he chose a singer for pleasure. He didn't know whether it was to appease the soldiers' hearts or to appease their uneasy hearts.
In the past month, although the soldiers were able to hold on, it was because the enemy generals did not fight with all their strength. Yang Xi knew that the enemy troops would attack from all sides in the future and leave no room for them, but now they were just slowly dying.
The night was as dark as ink, and the flickering lights seemed weak.
Yang Xi listened to Mi Mi's voice and solemnly asked to see Ziying.
Upon entering the camp, he saw a graceful girl who was out of tune with the battlefield, and Ziying who was looking at the map with red eyes.
Yang Xi felt a little relieved that Ziying was not infatuated with women, but in the end, this little bit of relief was no match for the sense of crisis that oppressed his heart.
"Kings..."
"What happened to Wu Rui?" Ziying asked casually without raising his eyelids.
"Exactly, this matter was expected by the king?" Yang Xi was slightly surprised. If so, Ziying may not have no options.
"Mr. Zifang expected this." Ziying said lightly, "Mr. Zifang had already expected this to happen when he helped Wu Rui. Wu Rui is a man of temperament and cannot be easily persuaded."
"Is this...impossible?" Yang Xi was almost desperate.
Ziying waved his hand to repel the singer and raised his eyes to look at Yang Xi, "This stalemate in a battle with other countries cannot be solved unless it is a wizard who leads the army. Han Xin is considered a wizard, but unfortunately he is an enemy. The other person is Zhang Han. Wei, the young master of the Qin Dynasty.
Mr. Liao did not inform Mr. Zhang Shaofu’s whereabouts before leaving Qin. As a former subordinate of Zhang Shaofu, does Commander Yang know?”
"I... really don't know." Yang Xi did not expect that the "big responsibility" would fall on his head. "If Commander Zhang stays here, he may not be able to relieve the king's worries. The king will definitely have to make plans for himself."
"Self-seeking, ha..."
Yang Xi couldn't stand this desolate situation, but he really had no choice but to say, "Since things are like this, can your Majesty clarify my doubts? No matter what the reason for this battle is, Your Majesty should not be so impulsive, but is there another reason?
"
Ziying's face moved slightly, then returned to calm in an instant, "I love you so much and have nothing else to do. It seems that in the previous battles, we acted impulsively and took risks, but we were a little overwhelmed with the victory in hand. So we fell into danger again.
Among them, ha, unexpectedly, I fell short of success."
There was sudden silence in the camp, and the monarch and his ministers looked at each other unconsciously.
With just one glance, Ziying knew that Yang Xi would not believe this.
"Don't worry, Yang Aiqing. We may be in bad luck, but the Qin soldiers still have a glimmer of hope. We just have to wait for the situation in the north to turn out as expected." Ziying looked at the northeast. If that glimmer of hope came true, he would still fight against it.
Someone's life is in danger.
Yang Xi didn't know what Ziying was talking about, but he finally had support in his heart.
With several parties without fighting, the grain and grass in Aocang disappeared day by day, and finally the figures of Wei Liao's army, as well as Zhai Xu and Luan Bu's soldiers from Yan appeared north of the river.
At this time, Chai Wu moved to the east, Ying Bu moved to the south, and Mo Chu moved to the east. A strangulation was about to break out.
Mo Chu, who was immediately dressed in black, recalled in his mind the scenes of meeting Ziying in the past. He believed that Ziying was a decent person and could be a friend, but it was a pity that for the sake of the people around him at this moment, he must not leave him alive.
"Caiwei, today I will personally kill Ziying to avenge Mr. Lingfen."
Caiwei's expression was calm and she just said softly, "This is the best."
Mo Chu nodded, "It's a pity that my cousin is chasing Wu Rui and is not here. He won't be able to fight Zi Ying again."
"After this battle, I have two gifts for you." Caiwei suddenly smiled.
Mo Chu's eyebrows instantly lit up and he was overjoyed, "As long as Mr. Wei Liao gives an order, I will collect everything I have!"
Wei Liao has reached the south bank of the river. The flag is fluttering and making a strong sound in the wind, as if he is shouting murderous intent on behalf of the soldiers.
Ziying rode out alone to meet his old friend. They looked at each other speechlessly.
"It seems that the King of Qin really only wanted to Qi Di, and I am too preoccupied." Wei Liao, who was much older, broke the silence and said with guilt, "However, the matter has come to this, and there is no possibility of turning back. I hope the King of Qin will not blame me."
"When the Qin Dynasty was in trouble, you didn't save the Qin Dynasty, and today you want to destroy the Qin Dynasty. You are really a loyal minister of the Qin Dynasty." Ziying grinned and sneered, "In recent days, I have been accompanied by singers day and night. When I heard that I was in trouble, the Li family singer even shed tears.
.Mr. Wei Liao, why don't you wait for women like this? Why don't you follow Wei Che's example and go back to the mountains, so as not to stain the eyes of the world."
Ziying's words were sharp and Wei Liao's face turned red.
"How dare a dying man be so presumptuous?!" Luan Bu stood up and shouted, "Peng Yue was killed in Sedi, and now I, the commander, will avenge my brothers and sisters!"
"Commander Luan!" Zhaoshe turned around and reached out to stop Luan Bu, "Mr. Wei Liao is the main general in this battle, so you must not act rashly."
Wei Liao turned around and shook his head, while Luan Bu could barely hold back his murderous intent.
After Ziying scolded him angrily, he gradually became melancholy, "In the past, I only wanted to save Qin from danger, and then I tried to unite the nine states. Now all my plans have come to nothing."
"The crisis of the First Emperor has passed. Today is no longer what it used to be. Why does the king force me?" Wei Liao sighed.
"Ha... Xiang Yu wanted to take my life that day. This time Xiang Yu is not here, can Mr. Wei Liao leave a way to survive?" Ziying stared at Wei Liao, "Quan should remember the etiquette of the past monarchs and ministers, okay?"
"No." Wei Liao shook his head heavily, "If you let the tiger return to the mountain, there will be endless troubles. Don't talk about Xiang Yu. Even the disciples don't want the king to survive in the world. If you think about the past, the king can kill himself."
"Kill yourself?"
Ziying blurted out and laughed, this scene was really strangely familiar.
"That's all, that's fine."
Ziying calmed down all his expressions and looked eastward and then westward, with various emotions that were hard to describe. His hand had already touched the hilt of the sword, and he was about to draw the sword.
"How can you make Ziying so cheap and die so quickly!!"
Luan Bu couldn't bear it anymore, and ignored the military order and stepped forward again. After a few breaths, he saw that he had crossed over to Ziying.
"Commander Luan?!" Wei Liao shouted angrily.
"Do it!"
Zhaoshe suddenly said something without any reason, which startled Wei Liao and turned around again. When he saw Zhai Xu and Zhaoshe, one on the left and the other on the right, they had already surrounded him.
"Since Commander Wei Liao doesn't want to let King Qin go, King Qin doesn't need to pay attention to his old feelings!"
Under the horrified gazes of the troops from the north and south, Wei Liao's neck spurted blood like a well, Zhai Xu'an sat on his horse and wiped his sword, and a red and white head with eyes wide open and mouth falling into Zhao She's hands.
"It seems that Mr. Wei Liao has been working hard recently and has not been able to take advantage of himself." Zhaoshe said with an evil smile, "I was late, so I hope the King of Qin will forgive me."
Luan Bu also put away his sword and handed it over, and the murderous look on his face disappeared.
Even though Ziying had expected it, he was still shocked by what he saw in front of him. He secretly sighed that the man had followed the plan. A great man, a good teacher and a friend of his generation had now become corpses.
"Thank you all."
"The King of Qin is very polite, but Xiang Yu colludes with Han Xin to eliminate the princes, how can he do what he wants?" Zhai Xu said.
"King Qin, you can rest assured. Commander Wen Bing has led his army to join Li Shang and pretend to attack Qin. Just leave this place to us." Zhao shot off his trailing hand and threw down his head, laughing.
"Then...Commander Luan Bu?" Ziying was worried that Luan Bu still hated him.
"The King of Qin wanted to recruit Peng Yue that day, but Peng Yue had no intention of dying to express his ambition. I already know this, and I don't blame the King of Qin for a long time. All the hatred is just to deceive the enemy." Luan Bu smiled with relief.
"In that case, let's start a war!!"
The Qin soldiers who had not yet woken up obeyed the king's order and marched northward.
Although the Wei army was elite, it lost its leader in an instant, and it was inevitable that there would be chaos. Among them, the Yan soldiers had been waiting for a long time, and as the Qin soldiers charged, they turned sideways and formed an angle with them.
"kill!!"
The sound of killing in the north of Aocang reached Qi Bing's ears, and Mo Chu was slightly surprised, "Ah... Ziying has been trapped for a long time without fighting. Could it be that he is waiting for a battle with Wei Liao to avenge his betrayal of his master?"
"Can you help me?" Caiwei asked.
"It's not necessary. It's okay to let Ziying have some fun before he dies."
Mo Chu waited quietly for the news of Ziying's defeat. He looked at the soldiers at the top of the city intentionally or unintentionally, and suddenly noticed something strange.
"Ziying is clearly fighting in the north. Why are the Qin soldiers looking west instead of north? There must be something fishy!"
Caiwei frowned slightly and said nothing.
"Wei Liao is afraid that Ziying is no match for him, so hurry up and rush to help!"
Mo Chu gave an order, and the entire Qi army marched north.
Chapter completed!
