I’m The King

Chapter 693: : Why is it too anxious to fry with the same root (15)

A small tent, a cold wind, a generation of famous general Zhao Mu, when he was dying, there was no relatives or generals by his side, and he was accompanied by the body of his former friend Zilan. A hero of ten years, a friend who has been entangled for a lifetime, has left this world one after another on the same day.

Among the retreating Zhao Jun, there were two more coffins, adding countless tragic and majestic colors.

When the infantry rushed to Mazongling, the back of Zhao Jun's departure was still faintly visible. Standing on the top of Mazongling, looking at the coffin on the carriage among the Zhao army's retreat in the distance, the infantry shook gently. After shaking his head, Zhao is weak, starting today.

Under Xiling City, Zhao Xilie found Hou Xiyi.

"We have to go." Zhao Xilie whispered: "The Ma'anshan incident is over, and the news is still being blocked, but it won't be long before the county people will know that Zilan has happened. Their anger is not. We can afford it now."

"How do we go?" Hou Xiyi smiled bitterly. "The county soldiers on behalf of the county blocked our retreat, unless we can fly over with wings."

"Father has reached an agreement with the Zhengdong Army. We can lead three thousand people to get out. The Zhengdong Army will make a way. The rest will be ignored." Zhao Xilie shook his head.

"There are only three thousand people?" Hou Xiyi said in shock: "There are more than thirty thousand soldiers here!"

"Three thousand people is the greatest achievement that father can achieve. Xiyi, you also understand that we have no food and grass. The soldiers are so hungry that they don’t even have the strength to pick up weapons. They gather three thousand most elite soldiers. , Claim to others that we will open a channel for them and make the last fight, and they will believe it." Zhao Xilie sighed: "Only these three thousand people can be preserved. You go down to make arrangements, today we will lead the army. go away."

Hou Xiyi was silent for a moment, and swallowed hard, "Xie Lie. You go, I will stay."

Zhao Xilie was shocked: "Xi Yi. What do you say, we are your best friends, and you are also one of the people your father trusts the most. Otherwise, your father won't let you participate in such a confidential matter. What are the consequences of staying? Do you know? Zilan is dead, and even the corpse has been taken away by his father. You can only die if you stay. The county people may not kill the ordinary soldiers. But they will never let you go."

"Master Zhao is gone, you are a general of the Left Army and you have also left. If I, a general of the Right Army, also go, how can other generals not know that there is a ghost in it? If there is a riot, no one can leave. I am. Stay and stabilize the situation for you so that you can withdraw these three thousand people smoothly." Hou Xiyi said.

"Xie Yi!" Zhao Xilie stayed where.

"My family is young, so I am begging you." Hou Xiyi smiled miserably: "This time we sent troops to a big defeat. Even if Master Zhao brought back Zilan's body, he would still be responsible for it. It's not a short time. The inside will be left unused, and the days of our leading generals will not be better there. I only hope that when Master Zhao comes back, I can take good care of my family and don’t let them suffer, and I’m worth it.”

Zhao Xilie held Hou Xiyi's hand, "Do you really want to do this?"

"I've decided!" Hou Xiyi took a deep breath, "There must be someone to stay, and this person can only be me."

After a moment of silence, Zhao Xilie nodded silently, "Okay. I promise you, after I go back. I will take care of your family and will not let them suffer."

"Thanks a lot!"

"It should be me who said thank you." Zhao Xilie shook his head.

Son time. Zhao Xilie led three thousand elites and left the camp quietly, while Hou Xiyi stayed behind and watched them leave with dozens of troops.

At noon, thunderous war drums suddenly sounded at the head of Xiling City, which had been silent for many days. Amidst the sound of war drums, white flags were raised to the top of the city. The city gates opened wide, and armies departed from the city. Dai Jun soldiers, there are conscripts of the East, but more, they are brave. They drove in angrily and silently towards the Zhao Jun barracks. When they were two miles away from Zhao Ying, they stopped and began to reorganize the team. The ballista was pushed to the front.

Under the banner of the Chinese Army, Zi Lan only left the remaining Zi Xi. Zhao Yong's face was pale. Although his body was wrapped in heavy fur, he still seemed to be intolerant to the severe cold, and his stature was weakened like a skeleton, but he still tried his best to stand up. Straighten up, looking at Zhao Ying not far away angrily. The news just came from Ma'anshan. Zhao Mu and about Zilan met in Ma'anshan, but secretly set up an ambush. One hundred guards and five hundred guards who went with Zilan. Almost the entire army of the Zhengdong Army was lost in Ma'anshan, and the generals of the Zhengdong Army stationed at Hefeng rose up to counterattack. Although they defeated the enemy and wiped out more than 2,000 people, they finally let Zhao Mu leave safely, and Zilan was already lost. Zhao Mu took away the body, even the remains. The county people were angry, and the whole Xiling City was boiling. Zhao Mu had already escaped, but there were still 30,000 Zhao Jun who were half-starved under the city.

The army in Xiling City, the brave people, and even the common people, clenched their weapons and walked out of the city gate. It is said that the army stationed in Hefeng, Jianli, and Nanzhang are also gathering here to kill the perfidious Zhao army. , Every generation county person thought this in his heart.

At the Zhao Jun camp, the generals ran to Hou Xiyi's account in a panic.

"Daijun is about to attack, General Hou, what should I do?"

"Aren't you negotiating with the county people? Why is it suddenly about to attack?"

"Where is Lord Zhao?"

"Did General Zhao succeeded in breaking through the siege, but it aroused the anger of Dai County?"

Everyone looked at Hou Xiyi.

Hou Xiyi stood up slowly, "Everyone, at this time, I have to tell the truth about some things, Lord Zhao, has already left the camp, at this time, or has left Daijun, who is traveling with him, There is also Taiwei Zhao, and Zilan, the Daijun county guard, but Zilan should be dead by this time."

Hearing Hou Xiyi's words, there was an uproar in the account. Everyone turned pale. Zilan was dead, and Daijun was crazy. They became abandoned sons. Everyone understood this fact.

"General Hou, General Zhao Xilie didn't go to open a passage for us, but left us behind, didn't he?" A general asked with a trembling voice.

"Yes!" Hou Xiyi admitted frankly, "The food and grass stored in the camp can only bear the breakthrough of these three thousand people."

"So, just abandon us?" a general shouted angrily.

"Guo Zijing!" Hou Xiyi suddenly patted the table. Angrily said: "What does it mean to abandon you, these three thousand people do not leave, do you accompany us to become prisoners of the county people? As an officer, you must be ready to die for the country at any time, and some will become abandoned children at any time. Enlightenment. If you don't even understand this, you don't deserve to be a general of Great Zhao."

When Guo Zijing was drunk by Hou Xilie, his momentum was lost. He looked at Hou Xiyi and said in despair, "Could it be that we deserve to die? But I really don't think it's worth dying like this!"

Hou Xiyi sat down slowly, "You will not die. Even if someone is going to die, this person will only be me. Now I will leave the camp and ask the people from Dai County to surrender. You will return to your headquarters and let all the soldiers lay down their weapons. , Go out and line up!"

"Surrender?" All the generals exclaimed. As the second strongest nation in the world, Zhao Jun naturally has his own pride in his army. This is also the extreme shortage of food in their entire army, and they are all hungry and feeble, but they still stick to the camp. There was no reason for the collapse. At this time, the word surrender came out of Hou Xiyi's mouth, and these people in desperate situation still found it difficult to accept.

Hou Xiyi raised his hand and waved it to stop the generals' turmoil.

"Daijun is also a member of the Zhao country, and surrendering to them will not lose the face of Zhao Jun. This battle, perhaps. It shouldn't have been fought." Hou Xiyi sighed, "It was originally a family. Surrender to them, you can always save your life. Or after you fight with the Qin people in the future, you still have a place to do it. Go, let the soldiers lay down their weapons, lower their flags, and line up."

Zhao Jun’s closed gate of the camp opened wide. Hou Xiyi was holding his helmet and walked out of the camp with his bare hands. In the camp, the flying flag of Zhao Jun descended, and then, The group of soldiers came out empty-handed and stood in line before the big camp.

"What do they want? Are they trying to surrender?" Zhao Yong's pale face was flushed, "Kill my father and surrender in exchange for a life. Is there such a cheap thing! Kill, me? Kill them all."

He yelled angrily, raised his hand high, he was about to give the order of the whole army to attack, but the hand had just been raised, but it was already tightly held.

"The son calmed down, killing the prisoners is ominous." Naha shook Zhao Yong's hand, "They have surrendered."

"The son calms down, there are 30,000 people on the opposite side. Although they are also enemies, they are also Zhao people." On the other side of Zhao Yong, another member of the county general in charge of Xiling's defense, Pan Weidong, also bowed to persuade him. "Master, you can't kill. Even if you want to kill, you can only punish the first evil."

"It's so cheap for them?" Zhao Yong exclaimed angrily.

"My son, Zhao Qi has escaped. If he wants to come to his next step, he will definitely lead the army again. These 30,000 prisoners will also be the capital for us to fight against them when the time comes. Killing, in addition to arousing Zhao Jun’s anger, nothing. I can't get it, but if I stay, it might be useful then!" Naha whispered. "Zi Lan Xianggong has gone, Dai Jun needs to be stable now, son, now the focus is not to kill these prisoners, but to quickly let all Dai Jun people know that Dai Jun still has a master."

"General Naha is right!" Pan Weidong nodded vigorously. "My son, Xianggong Zilan is gone. Now Qin Lei has 10,000 soldiers in Nanzhang, and Feng Fayong is the most elite warrior in Shannan County with 20,000 generations of soldiers. Ah! Although they are loyal to Zilan Xianggong~www.wuxiaspot.com~, you have always ignored you. Now, no one knows what they think, son, you have to be upright right now. Ten thousand prisoners, whether to kill or not to kill, has no meaning."

"My father is only my son, do you mean that Qin Lei and Feng Fayong have two minds?" Zhao Yong asked directly.

"I didn't mean that." Pan Weidong said quickly.

Naha said, "The son, General Pan meant that Zilan Xianggong had gone, and those with ulterior motives would definitely try to get close to these two generals. For example, Zhao Qi, or for example, General Qin, who has been confronting Feng Fayong outside Shannan County Cut, so at this time, you must immediately take up the position of the county guard left by Zi Lan Xianggong, and then justly give orders to these generals outside."

"What if they really have two minds and don't listen to my orders?" Zhao Yong became worried.

"We are a good friend of Xianggong Zilan, the governor of the Eastern Army, and we will stand firmly on your side and support you in your righteous position. I have already reported the situation here to Pegasus. I believe there will be something in the Eastern Mansion. Action, so son, don't worry. No one can take Daijun away from you. Whoever dares to betray, we need the head." Naha patted his chest. (To be continued) ()
