Chapter 41 Chasing and Killing Lai Ai
Meng Ao asked his son Meng Wu to chase Lao Ai, and he led a group of soldiers to join Li Mu. The images of these two generals of similar age were completely different. Meng Ao was covered in blood, holding a bronze helmet in his hand, striding forward
When the tiger came over in full force, it was full of murderous intent, like a murderous demon king coming from hell. Every step he took made people subconsciously tremble. Before others arrived, the smell of blood spread all over his body. On the contrary,
Li Mu rarely got blood on his body. Although he was wearing chainmail, he looked gentle and elegant. The three-foot-long beard on his chin made his appearance even more elegant. If it weren't for the corpses on the ground and the blood stains flowing into the river,
Even though he was wearing armor, he looked like a scholar.
"Lao Ai escaped?" As soon as Li Mu saw that Meng Wu was not behind Meng Ao, he only brought a group of people, so although he was asking a question, he spoke with great certainty.
Meng Ao nodded, nonchalantly reached out and touched the blood on his forehead, then took out the long sword and cut off a section of the curtain that had changed beyond recognition, wiped the handle, and then threw the long sword into the scabbard with a 'scandium' sound.
Within! The two of them have different temperaments, but they have a good friendship. Meng Ao didn't feel ashamed when he broke Lao Ai and escaped. Instead, he looked aside and looked at the Rong Di soldiers who were all gagged and couldn't move. He immediately grinned.
A smile: "The Rong and Di tribes are bleeding heavily now!"
Rong Di participated in the internal fighting in Qin and sent troops to assist Lao Ai's rebellion. This was an excellent excuse to send troops. What's more, these Rong Di people looked tall and strong, and they were probably not comparable to ordinary soldiers. Except for the dead,
There were hundreds of people captured. They were tied together one by one, with their eyes wide open. Unfortunately, their mouths were blocked by the blood-stained curtains on the ground. They could not speak. They could only breathe heavily through their nostrils.
He looked dissatisfied. According to the rules at this time, if Rong Di didn't produce some good war horses, I'm afraid it would be difficult to exchange the people back, and he would have to pay heavy gifts again, otherwise the matter would not be easy to solve.
"That's natural!" Li Mu smiled slightly. He himself was pure and noble. Even though he was in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, he still looked like a master. His body was not as stained with blood as Meng Ao. He looked like
A gentle and elegant scholar, this person was very clean and secluded. When he walked, he carefully avoided the blood stains on the ground. Meng Ao saw it and couldn't help but laugh, and then said: "I'm going to take a look at Awu."
Did that kid catch him?" After saying that, without waiting for Li Mu to speak, he turned around and left without any hesitation.
As soon as Meng Ao left, Li Mu showed a smile. A Zhao general behind him came forward hesitantly, his eyes flashed, and whispered: "General, Mr. Xincheng has left, and only Meng Ao is left in Xianyang Palace."
Wu is just one person, so there is nothing to fear. If we take this opportunity to capture Xianyang, we can not only take revenge but also..."
"Shut up!" The smile on Li Mu's face instantly disappeared, and there was a trace of disappointment in his eyes, which then turned to determination: "Is Zi Liu going to fall into some injustice?"
"I don't dare!" The general named Liu's face changed, and he immediately knelt down and said with some reluctance: "Qin and Zhao are feuding, and the general is the general of Zhao. Why should he be subordinate to Qin? If you want
Take this opportunity to occupy Xianyang and use your reputation in the future..."
"A certain person is now a military general of the Qin State. How can he say that he is a general of the Zhao State? Your Majesty's kindness to a certain person is as great as a mountain. How can he be such a renegade villain? Let's not talk about this matter. If there are any of you who are dissatisfied,
Please leave immediately, and I will never stop you. If you don’t leave, don’t mention such words again in the future!” Li Mu’s face darkened, and he was quite unhappy. Don’t say that he had never thought about taking the opportunity to rebel against Ying at this moment.
In terms of politics, Li Muchong was loyal and perseverant. If this were not the case, it would have been impossible for him in history to end up going through life and death for the State of Zhao because of King Hui's support and support, and finally died at the hands of King Zhao. If a peerless general like him, if
It wasn't that he was willing to die. How could he, a mere mourning king of the Zhao Kingdom, behead a general with a heavy army and behead him so easily when the country was almost in danger?
This shows Li Mu’s temperament! Ying Zheng was no worse to him than King Hui back then, and even trusted him more. Needless to say, he was favored by him. Just giving him Handan City as a fiefdom was enough to make him deeply moved.
, especially in the past two years in Xianyang City, Ying Zheng put down his dignity and treated him with courtesy and never showed any slightest contempt. Although King Qin was young, he did more than King Hui did in the past. Needless to say, he was grateful.
, how could he take this opportunity to do something ungrateful now? What's more, Li Muzhi knew that Meng Ao's talk of leaving was just lip service. Back then, Ying Zheng had personally promised Lai Ai to let him deal with it personally.
Shi Meng Ao must be waiting for him to go with him to capture Lao Ai. How could he evacuate them?
Even though he withdrew a large part of his troops, although he had seemingly 10,000 elite soldiers, only half of the Zhao people were loyal to him. Meng Ao left 5,000 soldiers and horses in the palace, plus the 5,000 soldiers and horses of the Qin people, 10,000
How can the people and horses be so easy to destroy? Not to mention that the people and horses of Qin and Zhao accompany each other day and night. Over the past few years, the friendship has been deep. At this time, people have little sense of country. If he starts an uprising at this time, he will see Zhao
People have settled down in the Qin State in the past few years, and many people have even remarried and had children. Who is willing to rebel and endure the pain of separation of flesh and blood?
It was impossible and unbearable for Li Mu to do such a thing. He just glanced at the soldier named Liu, sighed, then tightened his grip on the sword at his waist, strode around the bloodstains, and walked out of the palace first.
Among the Zhao people who stayed behind, some looked coldly at the sergeant kneeling on the ground and said nothing. Many others stopped talking. The sergeant's face turned pale and white for a while, then he gritted his teeth and asked: "Can you?
Are you willing to be a lackey of the Qin people? But you have forgotten the great hatred of the Zhao State in the past?" These words echoed back and forth in the empty hall, but no one answered him. Many Zhao people were silent in response, and the wordless answers made
This person's face was even more ugly. He gritted his teeth and showed a smile that was uglier than crying: "I didn't expect you to be bribed by Qin thieves. Are you from our Zhao country? Your ancestors were from Zhao..."
"General, there is no need to mention it again." Someone was silent for a long time and then answered: "Now that the State of Zhao is dead, King Zhao did not care about our life and death in the past, and was so greedy for life and afraid of death that all the elders in Handan City died. In comparison, now the king
He is wise and kind, and treats us like family members. Compared with King Zhao, he is a truly enlightened master." As soon as this man spoke, everyone nodded silently. The face of the general kneeling on the ground showed a dull and painful expression.
The color changed from green to white for a while, then he laughed twice, glanced at the palace hatefully, and then left without looking back, holding up the long sword. Everyone in the palace listened to the footsteps and gradually faded away.
The person was silent for a while, and then a look of relief appeared on his face.
When Li Mu came back again, he couldn't help but smile when he saw everyone's expressions. Then he straightened his face and waved his hand: "Leave three thousand people to keep an eye on this Rong Di man. The rest will follow someone out of the palace and find Lao Ai."
, you can avenge yourself!"
As soon as he said these words, everyone suddenly became agitated. The silence when the soldier left had already been broken. Many people rushed to pick up the swords in their hands and said fiercely: "General, the last general is going!"
"General, I have long wished I could have this thief. General, I am not willing to give up this opportunity to anyone else!"
"Go somewhere!"
"..."
The roars in the hall suddenly echoed back and forth in the tall and spacious hall, which was enough to show the anger in the hearts of these Zhao soldiers. The Zhao people hated Lao Ai extremely much, and it was more serious than the murder of their parents. It lasted for three years.
Well, these people have been waiting for today every day. Although many people have adapted to the life of Qin and acquiesced that they are Qin people, the hatred between fathers and elders is irreconcilable.
Everyone had been patiently patient for many years, but now they were all excited when they learned that it could be unleashed.
When Li Mu saw this scene, he saw everyone's faces flushed with quarrels, and his eyes were agitated. However, he hardened his heart and ordered 8,000 men to go with him, leaving the 2,000 men behind to guard the Rong Di prisoners.
I took my troops out of the palace and met Meng Ao.
At this time, Lao Ai was no longer as satisfied as she had been during the day. Under the protection of Sun Jie and others, she fled the palace in a hurry. Everyone was deeply afraid of being chased by the palace army, so they hurriedly left the palace without caring about their previous plans.
It was about to set a fire, and it was too late to escape in a hurry. Where could I get anything else? The people who blocked the Meng army before in the palace were the temporarily recruited servants, and Li Mu was resisted by the Rongdi people, so now Lao
However, Ai's own men were extremely well preserved. Everyone was now like a lost dog. They only regretted that their parents had given birth to two children. They could not run fast enough and dared to stop anywhere. As soon as they came out of the palace, most of them were like
Headless flies are scurrying around.
Lao Ai felt a secret hatred in his heart, and his eyes were bloodshot with anxiety. However, this was not the time for these people to care about each other. He gave several orders, but only a few die-hard loyalists were still around him, while most of the others dispersed like birds and beasts. Lao Ai suddenly
There were only about four to five hundred people left in Lai's army. I thought I was very proud, but when I saw the few people, Lai's face turned pale. He was in a state of embarrassment and had just escaped from the palace.
At this time, I was deeply afraid that the pursuers would be entangled. At this time, my hair was already scattered, my head was sweating profusely, my face was pale, but my eyes were red. Looking at the hundreds of people in front of me, I thought of what happened before.
He was still high up, surrounded by tens of thousands of soldiers. Now those who were killed were killed, others fled, and the remaining ones were less than a thousand. How could he fight against Meng Ao?
"Lord, what should we do now?" Qi Si's face was full of madness. His face was not looking good at this time. He looked as embarrassed as Lao Ai. When he saw those people running around, there was a hint of lust in his eyes.
Haze fiercely placed the dagger in his hand across his chest, and said sinisterly: "I am greedy for life and afraid of death, so I will kill you on the spot! My lord, the thieves are now powerful, and the Rongdi people may have suffered something unexpected. Why not hide first?"
Let’s plan something big again!” He wiped the sweat off his face and turned his face. Wherever he looked, everyone saw the ferocity in his eyes and subconsciously turned away.
Lao Ai was silent for a while, thinking of Zhao Ji who was still waiting for him in Chang Xinhou's mansion. If he used her to help him at this time, I'm afraid he would still have room for change today! He was afraid. He was used to living a life of superiority. Now, overnight
Everything in between was reduced to nothing. He was unwilling and afraid at the same time. His previous ambitions suddenly turned into a desire to survive. After hearing what Qi Si said, he couldn't help but nodded fiercely: "If there are any escapees, please stay on the spot."
Behead! What happened today is that someone was deceived and he was originally guarding the palace. If anyone leaks the truth, he will be killed without mercy!" As soon as he said these words, everyone immediately knew his plan and couldn't help but fell silent.
.
If you take one step forward, you will reach the sky; if you retreat, you will die in the graveyard. When faced with these two choices, everyone is naturally willing to desperately yearn for a wealthy life just one step away. But now, between life and glory, they naturally choose glory first.
After all, if you don’t even have your life, why are you talking about plotting a great cause? Lao Ai’s words made everyone respond immediately, but at this time Meng Ao was chasing troops, and Meng Ao was famous for killing. If he were to catch up, I’m afraid
No matter what, today I and others still have to deal with their lives here. Everyone unanimously had the idea of hiding first. They will only explain after Ying Zheng returns to Xianyang. If there is Zhao behind again.
Ji Bingqing, even if Ying Zheng has great courage, he would not dare to go against his mother and be charged with unfilial piety!
Lao Ai had a wishful thinking in mind, and briefly discussed with Sun Jie and others for a while. They all decided to reply to the long letter and read it quietly before making any plans. She did not dare to stay again, in order to avoid Meng Ao chasing after him. Sun Jie and Qi
Si and others took the initiative to divide the remaining troops into several small groups, and each took them in different directions to escape towards the Changxinhou Mansion to create a chance for Lao Ai to survive. Although these people had evil intentions, they were loyal to Lao Ai.
, with increased loyalty, Lao Ai's eyes flickered, watching her old brother and others escape in different directions, and then decisively took the remaining troops and ran towards the Changxinhou Mansion in the right direction.
He believed that Meng Ao and Li Mu had brought so many people to besiege the palace at this time, so he should only have Lu to guard the palace. Lu Buwei had ruined his affairs and had already regarded him as his biggest enemy. Even though he was not the king now,
We have to kill this old man first. If he kills him, he might be able to describe his actions today as getting rid of the traitors, clearing the emperor's side, serving the king, and getting rid of a serious problem for Ying Zheng. He might
Not only will he not care about what he has done today, but he will also give him more rewards! Lao Ai has been going smoothly in the past few years. Although he knows that Ying Zheng is not an easy person, when he thinks of the scene when he bestows status, gold and silk, he feels deep in his heart.
With a glimmer of hope, I walked faster.
At this time, the Changxin Houfu, which Lao Ai thought had few troops, was brightly lit. Every five steps in the house, there were two soldiers with torches, illuminating the entire Houfu as brightly as day. Lu Buwei
Sitting firmly on the main seat where Lao Ai usually sits, Zhao Ji stood tremblingly in the hall with a pale face and a child in her arms. When she faced Lu Buwei, her figure
Trembling, she no longer had the romantic charm of ordinary days, only fear and panic remained. Although she hated Lu Buwei in her heart, she had known him for decades, and she knew his character best. In the past, she had not seen him for many years because of her identity.
Now, there is no news about Lao Ai's incident, but Lu Buwei has led a large group of troops to break into the palace. No matter how stupid Zhao Ji is, she knows that it is not good. Now she is scared,
He couldn't even speak.
