Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Six: No Controversy
Seeing that his front and rear battalions were all ready, he ended up just wandering around again?
Zhao Changxuan had saved all his strength and had nowhere to use it!
Take the initiative?
It's not that he hadn't thought about it, but the disparity in military strength between the two sides was so great that he didn't dare to do this.
Now every time a soldier is sacrificed, he feels very painful in his heart. Don't get me wrong, it's not that he feels sorry for the human life, but he sees that the number of his troops is slowly decreasing. If this continues, sooner or later he will be taken advantage of by the enemy!
You have to think of a complete solution!
Just when he was frowning, a close confidant brought a map and said: "Your Majesty, our current situation is very worrying. Our army has been surrounded by Zhao Changqing in front and behind. Moreover, Zhao Changqing's Chinese army
The large tent also moved dozens of miles to the left and merged with Cao Shen's army. The whole army looked at our army with eager eyes.
It seems that yesterday's battle caused them to suffer a lot, so they decided to change their strategy and free up their hands to attack us first."
Things have reached this point. Under the absolute disparity in military strength, Zhao Changxuan is really at his wits' end. He stared at the map for a long time, and finally said helplessly:
"Let the army prepare in the past two days. It will set off from Huainan Road, pass through Jiannan Road, and go to Shu Road. The two Jiedushi envoys have an old relationship with me, and they also secretly contributed to the attack on the capital.
.
Therefore, they will definitely help us escape to Shu Road. When the time comes, according to the natural dangers, no matter what happens, we can live a rich life."
Perhaps at this moment, Zhao Changxuan had lost his ambition for the throne.
From the enemy's strategy yesterday, he could see that he was no match for Zhao Changqing. Even if the two sides were equal in strength, he would be ashamed of himself in terms of marching and fighting.
In this case, it is not as good as simply withdrawing from the struggle for the throne, returning to Shu to retire, and becoming a wealthy prince.
The generals looked at each other, some were unwilling to accept it, some felt that it didn't matter, they could go anywhere, as long as they could ensure their own glory and wealth, some had other ideas, but they thought it was unrealistic and shook their heads.
Sighed bitterly.
Seeing that the generals were speechless, he said decisively: "This matter is settled. I will promise everyone here that as long as you return to Shu Road alive, I will ensure that you enjoy countless glory and wealth!"
Having said this, what else can they say? What can they say?
After a while, someone actually spoke, and he bowed to Zhao Changxuan and said: "Your Majesty, we have one more way now. We will send people to Chang'an to negotiate peace and convince them that only by working together to eliminate Zhao Changqing, can everyone
Only then can you feel better.
Otherwise, once we are defeated, he will definitely concentrate his efforts on attacking the capital. How can the capital be defended then?
Tell them the truth between this, and I will believe that they will not remain unmoved. After Zhao Changqing is eliminated, we will say that we are willing to become vassals, and we will wait for the opportunity to help the prince ascend to the supreme position!"
Zhao Changxuan heard this and thought this was a solution, but would the capital agree to it?
They refused last time.
Will you agree because of Zhao Changqing's attack on the capital yesterday?
Even if he agrees, and gathers the forces of both sides to start a decisive battle with Zhao Changqing, what are the chances of winning?
While he was thinking about it, a large number of cavalry suddenly appeared in the rear camp. There were more than 38,000 cavalry, led by Chen Qingzhi himself.
After Zhao Changxuan learned about it, he had to interrupt his thinking and personally led some soldiers to the rear camp.
A battle broke out between the two sides, and Chen Qingzhi saw that he was outmatched. Taking advantage of the fact that the cavalry still had the upper hand during the fierce battle, he immediately withdrew his troops.
A general wanted to lead the general in pursuit, but Zhao Changxuan stopped him and said, "Don't chase after the poor enemy."
After seeing the enemy troops retreat, he returned to the Chinese army's tent again.
As a result, before the situation was settled, someone came over to report that the former army was also attacking the camp.
Zhao Changxuan felt really tired at this moment, so he sent a general to lead reinforcements.
The result was obvious, Zhao Changqing's troops ran away again.
Around noon, the most fierce battle between the Qingzhou Army and the King of Qin's Army came. Each side held 200,000 troops and fought outside the large tent of the King of Qin's military camp.
Just as the battle between the two armies was raging, another eight thousand white-robed soldiers emerged from the direction of Chen Qingzhi. With unstoppable speed, they arrived at the camp behind the enemy lines. After a fierce fight with the soldiers who stayed in the King of Qin's camp to guard them, they fought fiercely.
, these eight thousand white-robed soldiers almost completed an impossible task.
In full view of the public, they actually burned the enemy's rear camp's grain and grass.
Then, they quickly withdrew from the battle, looking like ghosts and making it difficult for people to guard against them.
These eight thousand soldiers were Chen Qingzhi's most elite warriors.
Seeing the fire in the camp behind enemy lines, the Qingzhou Army knew in their hearts that Chen Qingzhi's plan had been completed, so they withdrew from the battle one after another.
When Zhao Changxuan saw that his back camp was on fire, how could he still think about fighting?
After seeing them retreating, he hurried back to the rear camp.
But it was too late, most of the food and grass in the rear camp were burned.
Zhao Changxuan squatted beside a small fire caused by the burning of grain and grass, and said in a very calm tone: "Who are the soldiers staying in the rear camp?"
A fat-headed and big-eared general came to Zhao Changxuan with a trembling body, bowed and said: "Mo... I have met the prince, and it is... the young one who is responsible for guarding the rear camp."
Zhao Changxuan glanced at him and asked quietly: "When the two armies are fighting, how many people will you give to look after the food and grass of the rear camp?"
The man stretched out a finger and hesitated out of fear: "Ten... ten thousand..."
Zhao Changxuan asked: "How many people came to burn food and grass?"
He lowered his head and said in shame: "Eight...eight thousand."
Zhao Changxuan nodded and said: "Someone, pull him down and chop him down."
Two personal soldiers beside him bowed when they heard the sound, "No!"
Yuluo, don't drag this general to another place.
During this period, the general kept struggling, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! The general is wronged! The food and grass were burned, so you can't blame the general! It's really that those eight thousand people are so weird, everyone has one to block ten, even
It’s the ability to withstand hundreds of things... at the end of the day..."
At the end of the sentence, there was no sound, and I guess he was beheaded.
Zhao Changxuan closed his eyes, stood up slowly, and then looked at the soldiers of the three armies, feeling a little confused and melancholy in his heart.
None of the men in front of them had clean faces. Their faces were covered with weather and fatigue. After a day and night of hard work, none of them had a good night's sleep.
At this moment, there is no military rations again...
If things continue like this, the morale of the military will be in chaos.
Zhao Changxuan thought of the soldier's suggestion just now.
Do you want to negotiate peace with that person in Beijing?
He shook his head and smiled. What's the use of agreeing to fight Zhao Changqing together?
There is still a huge disparity in military strength compared to him.
It's better...withdraw!
We really can't fight for this throne anymore.
Otherwise, these seven-foot men in front of them will all die on the battlefield because of their own reasons.
He took a deep breath, faced the soldiers, bowed deeply and said, "Because of my Zhao family's affairs, I have affected you all!"
When these soldiers saw the prince like this, they couldn't bear it and said one after another:
"My lord, I will be willing to follow you!"
"Your Majesty, please don't do this, otherwise, we will feel uncomfortable!"
"Yes, Your Majesty..."
"..."
The sounds come and go, one after another.
This was tantamount to making Zhao Changxuan very happy. When everyone's voices faded, he spoke loudly again: "I will give you a day and a night to prepare. Recharge your batteries tonight. Pack your things tomorrow and follow me."
Retreat to Shu Road!
I promise you that I will let you live your life without any worries!"
After hearing the sound, all the soldiers looked at each other, then half-knelt on the ground, and said in unison with their loudest voices: "The last general will take your orders!"
It’s okay not to fight...
This is the inner thought of most soldiers.
Zhao Changxuan looked at the direction of the capital in the distance and sighed: "Second brother, second brother, you don't know, I really envy you. Even if you give me three days of emperor's life, even if I die, I still feel
It's worth it, and you've been there for more than three days.
But third brother, I don’t have the same fate as you. Maybe you and I didn’t expect that a big brother would appear in the middle of the road, right? Once, I was really confused by his harmless appearance. I really regret it!
Third brother, I am incompetent, so I won’t fight anymore, you two just fight to the end, so that I can see who is the destiny of this great Wei Kingdom!"
He regretted that he had not considered the current situation, otherwise he would have tried every means to kill him before he became king!
But it's too late.
