Chapter 692: Why Are We so Anxious to Fight Each Other? (14)

A mouthful of blood spurted out. Zhao Muruan fell to the ground, but he no longer had the strength to get up. He was so weak that he tried to turn his eyes to look at Zilan who was lying in a pool of blood beside the fire. Tears flowed out uncontrollably. Slowly sliding down the face to the ground. The soldiers quickly made two simple stretchers, placed Zhao Mu and Zi Lan on the stretchers, and carried them out of the room.

Outside the room, Hengdao took off the black scarf covering his face and leaned against a tree. Beside him, there was another person, but it was Cao Tianci who was the first to come into contact with Zhao Qi. The two of them were alone. He was standing somewhere, but Zhao Qi knew very well that in the darkness behind the two of them, there were unknown number of fully armed soldiers of the Eastern Expedition Army hidden in the darkness. The opponent's combat power frightened him. The one hundred people Zilan brought, They were the ones who killed him. The fighting time was so short, which showed their absolute fighting power against the Lord.

He slowly walked up to Cao Tianci and looked at him, "We are still enemies."

Cao Tianci gave a chirpy smile, "Of course, so Mr. Zhao, after coming down the mountain, you run quickly, the infantry general is already preparing to pursue you."

"I arranged for Tan Chunhua and Hu Liang to lead a thousand elites to come to meet them." Zhao Qi's eyes flashed.

Cao Tianci touched his chin, half-smiling, "I understand what Mr. Zhao means. Don't worry. Before your Zhao country sends troops to invade Dai County again, we are still friends and allies, and we have common interests."

"Thirty thousand Zhao troops under Xiling City?" Zhao Qi asked tentatively.

Cao Tianci spread his hands and said, "Mr. Zhao, you can't be too greedy. You know, Zilan is dead, and the Daijun people need to vent to calm the anger in their hearts."

"My son is there too and I hope he comes back."

"I have also received relevant orders. Mr. Zhao, your son can lead a tribe of no more than three thousand people. This is our upper limit. If they exceed this number, they will have to stay with the others. Yes, we made this decision to show our sincerity to Mr. Zhao, because we will have many opportunities for cooperation in the future?" Cao Tianci said.

"Since General Gao has pacified the Hetao, and Donghu will not be able to launch an attack again in a short period of time, then, can I not think that General Gao is going to attack King Yan?" Zhao Qi's eyes flickered.

"General Gao is the general who conquered the east of Yan State. Mr. Zhao, what you said is extremely treasonous." Cao Tianci laughed.

Zhao Qi nodded, glanced at Cao Tianci, turned around and followed his men down the mountain.

"Dean Cao, this man makes me feel disgusting!" The sound of a sword coming from behind, "I really wish I could give him a knife.

Kill him and your eyes will be clear. "

"For us, the more people like this, the better." Cao Tianci turned around and looked at Hengdao, "Old man, Jiang Yizheng said that if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if the people are careful, there will be no disciples. Everyone wants to be an upright person, but if we in Zhengdong Mansion are like this, I'm afraid it won't be long before we become food on someone else's plate." He lit the pool of blood next to the fire. . "Zi Lan was a respectable person, but now, he is dead."

Hengdao sighed, "So, I still feel that I was happier when I was a horse bandit before, without any psychological burden. Now that Zilan died in our hands, I really feel guilty."

"Zilan died in the hands of Zhao Qi. We must vigorously publicize it, and Zhao Qi will also vigorously promote it himself. You don't have to rub this shit on your own head." Cao Tianci said coldly.

Hengdao nodded and said no more words.

"After half an hour, send a signal and set fire to this place. It's time for the infantry general to take action." Cao Tianci walked down the mountain, "I want to rush back to Xiling City immediately."

Half an hour later, there was a sudden fire on Ma'an Mountain, and sharp beeps flew up from the mountain and resounded throughout the sky. At the foot of the mountain, Zhao Qi looked at the fire on Ma'an Mountain and said to Tan Chunhua and Hu Liang who came to meet them: "I Take the bodies of Taiwei and Zilan back first, and you two will fight and retreat here."

"Sir, the other party is all cavalry. We only brought two thousand people, so I'm afraid we are no match." Tan Chunhua said uneasily.

"Don't worry!" Zhao Qi chuckled: "It's just a lie. The other party makes a gesture of pursuing us. Naturally, we have to block it and retreat while fighting. I have already discussed it with the other party. We are here. Goodbye Mazhao Ridge.”

"Follow your orders!" After receiving Zhao Qi's assurance, Tan Chunhua felt relieved.

When Zhao Qi led his men away, more than a thousand cavalry led by the infantry were already galloping over. Countless torches lit up the night sky. "Kill them all!" the infantry pointed their long bows forward and shouted sternly.

"The Eastern Conquest Army will be victorious!" More than a thousand cavalry shouted in unison, waving their sabers and rushing toward the retreating Zhao army in the distance with a ferocious look.

Arrows rained down, and Zhao troops fell to the ground in pieces. Tan Chunhua and Hu Liang, who were preconceptions, thought that this was just a false story. They didn't even have the most basic formation to deal with the cavalry. They just let the soldiers wave flags and shout, and retreat while shouting. They didn't expect this to be a real battle.

"Chunhua, that's not right." Hu Liang saw that in an instant, the troops led by the two of them had been cut into pieces by the opponent's cavalry. He watched as his opponent slashed his own soldiers to death with a sword without hesitation. exclaimed: “They mean it.”

In fact, Tan Chunhua already understood everything without Hu Liang's reminder. "Master Zhao betrayed us, and they want to kill us to silence us. Hu Liang, run, run quickly."

Hu Liang's whole body was immediately soaked with sweat. As soon as he pinched the horse's belly, he and Tan Chunhua no longer cared about the chaotic team, and fled after hitting the horse.

When the two of them fled the battlefield in embarrassment, there were only dozens of guards left around them. They looked at each other with extremely angry looks in their eyes. They served Zhao Qi wholeheartedly, but in the end, Zhao Qi wanted to cover him up. The fact that they colluded with the Eastern Conquest Army ruthlessly betrayed them and two thousand soldiers to the Eastern Conquest Army.

"Where are we going now?" Hu Liang asked tremblingly. "Mazhao Ridge is a must-see."

"Of course we can't go to Mazhao Ridge." Tan Chunhua said bitterly: "We took a detour back to China. Since Zhao Qi is unkind and unjust, we will find a way to return to China and tell the world about his evil deeds so that he will not have an easy life."

"Let's go!" Behind them, surging shouts could be heard clearly.

With a clip of the horse's hooves, dozens of people beat the horse and ran wildly. After running for more than ten miles, the pursuit behind them was getting farther and farther away, and gradually became inaudible. Just as the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, the guards running at the front suddenly screamed and fell off their horses one after another. The darkness In the midst, the sound of crossbow arrows kept coming.

There were snagging ropes on the ground and crossbow arrows in the dark. The two of them looked around in panic. In the darkness, countless people poured out, "Two generals, Mr. Bai has been waiting here for a long time."

People emerged from the darkness and surrounded Qin Chunhua and Hu Liang. One person stepped out from the crowd, holding a big knife in his hand, "Save your life!"

Tan Chunhua's hands were trembling. He never expected that the other party would arrange it so carefully. Today there is no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth. Before he could come up with a countermeasure, Hu Liang, who was beside him, got off his horse and shouted to the other party: "I surrender. I surrender to the Eastern Expedition Army."

Tan Chunhua was stunned, and suddenly realized that this was probably his only chance of survival at the moment. He usually prided himself on being alert, but his reaction was not as quick as Hu Liang's. At that moment, he dismounted and said loudly: "General Bai, I surrender too. You and Zhao Qi are just temporary allies, and they will eventually turn against each other. We know his secret, and we will conquer the Eastern Army against Zhao Qi in the future." Sometimes, we are still useful.”

Bai Yucheng, who was approaching with a knife, was slightly startled. What the other party said was quite right. We could consider taking these two people back first and let Jiang Yizheng and the others worry about whether to kill them or to keep them.

Bai Yucheng laughed loudly as he held a sword in his sword: "The two generals know what they're doing. It doesn't matter. You've lost your weapons and let me go. I can't decide whether you live or die. But it's up to you. Good luck!"

At Mazhao Ridge, Zhao Qi was very busy, commanding the remaining Zhao troops stationed here to quickly pack up their camps and prepare to retreat. He knew very well what was going to happen next.

A personal attendant hurriedly walked to his side and whispered in his ear: "Master Zhao, the Taiwei said he wants to see you."

"What else can I say to him?" Zhao Qi frowned and said impatiently.

"Sir, it seems that the captain is not very good anymore." The attendant hesitated for a moment.

"What?" Zhao Qi was stunned for a moment. If Zhao Mu died, he would only be happy and not sad. But at this time, his death would be too untimely.

"Why don't you go find a doctor quickly and take a look?"

"A medical officer accompanying the army took a look and said there was nothing he could do to save him."

"These medical officers who accompany the army can only treat a red wound and bandage the wound. If they can treat any disease, they can find a better doctor."

"But my lord, this is a deserted place. Where can I find a skilled doctor? Even if I find one, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time."

Zhao Qi was stunned for a while, and finally got out of his way. When he arrived at the camp where Zhao Mu was placed, he saw Zhao Mu with a face as bright as gold paper, and he kept coughing, coughing out a lot of blood with every mouthful.

"Lieutenant, please take care of yourself. I have sent someone to find the doctor." Standing next to Zhao Mu, Zhao Qi said.

"No need, Zhao Qi, I'm not here to find you because of my illness. My body knows by itself that I'm dying. There are some things I need to explain to you clearly before I die."

"Please tell me." Zhao Qi nodded.

"After I die, Jing Rufeng can be the Taiwei. You don't want to interfere. You are good at scheming and scheming, but when it comes to marching and fighting, you are determined not to do it. Jing Rufeng is from the Qin State, but he has a hatred for the King of Qin. He can be trusted. , and used Wu Zeng as the deputy lieutenant to provide checks and balances. Wu Zeng is devoted to the country, but he is not greedy for power. If he is used as the deputy lieutenant, he will not be jealous of Jing Changfeng. "

Hearing Zhao Mu speak so bluntly about how bad he was, Zhao Qi couldn't help but feel furious, and he couldn't bear to be angry with you, a dying person! Zhao Qi said to himself in his heart.

"You have lost Daijun this time. With your personality, after you come back to life, you will definitely want to get Daijun back and feel proud, right? But even when a person is about to die, his words are also good. For the sake of the great Zhao, you must listen to me. In a word, you must not do it. As long as the Daijun does not change the flag, don't take action, because we have to rely on them to guard our northern gate. Be careful of Lu Chao from South Korea. This person is no easier to deal with than Li Xin. If you launch it at this time The army is fighting against the Eastern Marching Army again. Lu Chao will definitely march from South Korea. The Qin people are our biggest threat. Compared with the Qin people, the Eastern Marching Army is just a little tiger that has not yet grown up. He also has I have a lot of troubles and I still have to deal with the Yan State court, but I can form an alliance with Tan Feng and Zhou Yu and let them deal with the Eastern Expeditionary Army. Once they gain the upper hand and Gao Yuan has nothing to do, it will be a good time to take back Dai County. " (To be continued...) ()
