I’m The King Chapter 693: : Why is it too urgent to fry with the same root (15)

Small tent, icy cold wind, a generation of famous general Zhao Mu, when he was dying, he had no relatives and generals by his side, and what accompanied him was the body of his former friend Zilan, two powerful and powerful The hero who has been proud of the world for decades, and the friend who has been entangled with him for a lifetime, unexpectedly left this world one after another on the same day.

Among the retreating Zhao army, these two coffins were added, adding countless tragic colors.

When the infantry arrived at Mazong Ridge, the back of Zhao Jun's departure was still faintly visible. Shaking his head lightly, Zhao Guo is weak, starting from today.

Under Xiling City, Zhao Xilie found Hou Xiyi.

"We have to go." Zhao Xilie said in a low voice: "The matter of Ma'anshan is over, and the news is still under blockade, but it won't be long before the people of Dai County know what happened to Zilan. Anger is not something we can bear now."

"How do we get there?" Hou Xiyi smiled wryly, "Daijun soldiers blocked our retreat passage, unless we can fly over with wings."

"Father has reached an agreement with the Zhengdong Army. We can lead 3,000 people to get away. The Zhengdong Army will give way, and the rest will be ignored." Zhao Xilie shook his head.

"Only 3,000 people?" Hou Xiyi said in shock: "There are more than 30,000 soldiers here!"

"Three thousand people is already the biggest achievement my father can achieve. Xiyi, you also understand that we have no food and grass, and the soldiers are so hungry that they don't even have the strength to pick up weapons. Elite soldiers, if they claim to others that we will open a passage for them and make a last-ditch effort, they will believe it." Zhao Xilie sighed: "Only these three thousand people can be saved. You go down and make arrangements, today is Zishi. We lead the army to leave."

Hou Xiyi was silent for a moment, swallowed with difficulty, "Xi Lie, you go, I will stay."

Zhao Xilie was shocked: "Xiyi. What are you talking about? We are best friends, and you are also one of the people my father trusts most. Otherwise, my father would not let you participate in such a confidential matter. What are the consequences of staying?" Don't you know? Zilan is dead, and even the body has been taken away by his father. If you stay, you can only die. The people of Daijun may not kill those ordinary soldiers. But they will never let you go. "

"Master Zhao is gone, you are the general of the left army, and if I, the general of the right army, also leave, how can the other generals not know that there is a ghost in it? If there is a real trouble, no one will leave No. I'll stay and stabilize the situation for you, so that you can take these 3,000 people back smoothly." Hou Xiyi said.

"Xiyi!" Where did Zhao Xilie stay.

"My family is small, so I'll leave it to you." Hou Xiyi said with a miserable smile, "This time we were defeated, even if Mr. Zhao brought back Zilan's body, I'm afraid he would still be responsible for it. It can't be said that we will be idle in a short period of time, and the life of us leading generals will not be that good. I only hope that when Mr. Zhao recovers, he can take good care of my family and don't let them suffer. I will be worth it .”

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

"I've decided!" Hou Xiyi took a deep breath, "There must be someone to stay, and that 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 good care of your family and won't let them suffer."

"Thank you!"

"I should be the one to say thank you." Zhao Xilie shook his head.

Child hours. Zhao Xilie led 3,000 elite troops to leave the camp quietly, while Hou Xiyi, who stayed behind, led dozens of generals to watch them leave.

At noon, thunderous war drums sounded suddenly from the top of Xiling City, which had been silent for many days. Amidst the sound of the war drums, white banners were hoisted over the top of the city, the city gates were opened wide, and armies marched out of the city. The army included Daijun soldiers and the East Army, but more of them were volunteers. They marched towards Zhao Jun's barracks angrily and silently. When they were two miles away from Zhao Jun's camp, they stopped and began to straighten out the troops. , a ballista was pushed to the front of the formation.

Under the banner of the Chinese army, Zilan's only remaining son, Zhao Yong, was pale. Although he was wrapped in heavy fur, he still seemed unable to withstand the severe cold. His body was weakened like a skeleton, but he still He straightened his body as hard as he could, and looked angrily at Zhao Ying who was not far away. The news just came from Ma'anshan. Zhao Mu asked Zilan to meet in Ma'anshan, but secretly set up an ambush. Nearly all of the troops of the Eastern Expedition Army were killed in Ma’anshan with the five hundred Eastern Expedition Army. The infantry generals of the Eastern Expedition Army stationed at Hefeng fought back vigorously. Lan had already died, and even the body was taken away by Zhao Mu. The people of Daijun were angry, and the whole Xiling City was boiling. Zhao Mu had already fled, but there were still 30,000 Zhao Jun who were starved to death under the city.

The army in Xiling City, Minyong, and even the common people, all held their weapons tightly and walked out of the city gate, and it is said that the troops stationed in Hefeng, Jianli, and Nanzhang are also gathering here to kill all those treacherous people Zhao Jun, every Daijun person thinks so in his heart.

The generals of Zhao Jun's camp ran to Hou Xiyi's big tent in panic.

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

"Aren't you negotiating with the Daijun people? Why are you going to attack suddenly?"

"Where is Master Zhao?"

"Is it true that General Zhao succeeded in breaking through the siege, but it aroused the anger of the people of Daijun?"

All eyes were on Hou Xiyi.

Hou Xiyi stood up slowly, "Everyone, at this point, I have to tell you the truth. Mr. Zhao has already left the camp. At this time, he may have left Daijun. Along with him are Taiwei Zhao and Zilan, the governor of Daijun, but Zilan should be dead by now."

Hearing Hou Xiyi's words, there was an uproar in the tent, everyone's face was pale, Zilan died, the Daijun people went crazy, they became abandoned children, everyone understood this fact.

"General Hou, General Zhao Xilie didn't open a passage for us, but left us behind, didn't he?" a general asked tremblingly.

"Yes!" Hou Xiyi admitted frankly, "The food and grass stored in the camp can only bear the breakout of these 3,000 people."

"So, did you abandon us?" a general shouted angrily.

"Guo Zijing!" Hou Xiyi suddenly slapped the table. He said angrily: "What do you mean by abandoning you? If these 3,000 people don't leave, will they accompany us and become captives of the Daijun people? As an officer, you must be prepared to sacrifice your life for the country at any time, and you will become an abandoned son at any time." Enlightenment. If you don’t even understand this, you are not worthy of being a general of Zhao.”

Guo Zijing lost all his momentum when Hou Xilie yelled at him. Looking at Hou Xiyi, he said in despair, "Could it be that we deserve to die? But dying like this, I really don't think it's worth it!"

Hou Xiyi sat down slowly, "You will not die. Even if someone is going to die, it will only be me. Now I will go out of the camp and ask the people of Daijun to surrender. You all go back to the headquarters and let everyone die." Soldiers put down their weapons and line up!"

"Surrender?" All the generals exclaimed. As Zhao Jun is the second most powerful country in the world, his army naturally has its own pride. This is also because their entire army was short of food to the extreme, and they were so hungry that they were exhausted, but they still stuck to the battalion. There was no reason for the collapse. At this time, when Hou Xiyi said the word surrender, these people who were in a desperate situation still found it difficult to accept.

Hou Xiyi raised his hand and waved it, stopping the restlessness of the generals.

"The Daijun people are also from the Zhao country. Surrendering to them will not disgrace the Zhao army. This battle, perhaps, should not have been fought in the first place." Hou Xiyi sighed. They are a family. Surrendering to them will always save your life. Maybe you will still have a place to use your talents when you fight with the Qin people in the future. Go, let the soldiers lay down their weapons, lower their flags, and go out of the camp to line up."

The gate of Zhao Jun's closed camp opened wide. Hou Xiyi held his helmet and walked out of the camp with bare hands. Then, groups of soldiers came out empty-handed and stood in line in front of the camp.

"What do they want to do? Do they want to surrender?" Zhao Yong's pale face turned red, "Kill my father and then surrender in exchange for his life. Is there such a cheap thing! Kill, I want to kill them all."

He yelled angrily, raised his hand high, and was about to give the order for the whole army to attack, but just as he raised his hand, it was already tightly grasped.

"Sir, calm down, it's ominous to kill prisoners." Naha held Zhao Yong's hand, "They have already surrendered."

"Don't be angry, my lord. There are 30,000 people on the opposite side. Although they are also enemies, they are still Zhao people." On the other side of Zhao Yong, another member of the Daijun General Pan Weidong who was in charge of Xiling's defense also bowed to persuade him. "Young master, you can't be killed. Even if you want to kill, you can only get rid of the chief culprit."

"Is this how they got cheap?" Zhao Yong exclaimed angrily.

"Young Master, Zhao Qi has escaped. If he wants to take the next step, he will definitely lead the army again. These 30,000 captives will be our capital to fight against them. Killing them will not only arouse the anger of Zhao Jun , I won't get anything, but if I stay, maybe it will be useful!" Naha said in a low voice. "Mr. Zilan has already gone. Daijun needs stability now. My son, the focus now is not to kill these captives, but to quickly let all Daijun people know that Daijun still has a master."

"General Naha is right!" Pan Weidong nodded vigorously, "Master, Mr. Zilan has left, now Qin Lei has 10,000 troops in Nanzhang, and Feng Fayong has the most elite soldiers in the county for 20,000 generations In Shannan County! Although they are loyal to Mr. Zilan~IndoMTL.com~ but you have always been ignorant, no one knows what they think now, son, it is only a big deal for you to take the position immediately. Thirty thousand captives, whether to kill or not is meaningless."

"My father has only one son, you mean that Qin Lei and Feng Fayong will have two hearts?" Zhao Yong asked directly.

"That's not what I meant." Pan Weidong said quickly.

Naha interjected: "Young master, what General Pan means is that Mr. Zilan has gone, and those with ulterior motives will definitely try to get close to these two generals, such as Zhao Qi, or the one who has been confronting Feng Fayong outside Shannan County. Qin General Wang Jian, so at this time, you must immediately assume the post of county guard left by Mr. Zilan, and then issue orders to these generals outside in a legitimate manner."

"What if they really have two hearts and don't obey my orders?" Zhao Yong became worried.

"The high governor of our Zhengdong army is a good friend of Mr. Zilan, and he will definitely stand by your side and support you to take the right position. I have already sent a message about the situation here. I believe that the Zhengdong mansion will definitely There will be some action, so son, don't worry. No one can take Daijun from you. Whoever dares to betray, we will have his head." Naha patted his chest and said. (to be continued)()
