I’m The King Chapter 1203: : Carrying forward the past and ushering in the future (93) New Year’s Bells (Continuation 4)
"Hello, you and Xi Lie have done a good job!" Zhao Qi looked at his brother Zhao Che, who was kneeling in front of him, and was so angry that he went up and kicked Zhao Che heavily with both feet. "The Zhao family will be destroyed in your hands after all."
Zhao Che did not submit to Zhao Qi this time. Although he did not dare to resist after being kicked twice, he still held his head up and looked at the patriarch of the Zhao clan: "Brother, Xi Lie did not do anything this time." Wrong, this is also the reason why I agreed to follow him. If you follow your opinion, our Zhao family will really perish. You have seen what happened today. How did those Qin people put my Zhao family in their eyes? Brother, haven't you seen their plan clearly?"
Zhao Qi never saw it clearly, but this is exactly where his anger lies. Everything he worked so hard to manage turned out to be a joke in the end. Sweeping out the door, Yang Jie's rain of arrows on the top of the city has already explained everything (I am the king Chapter 1203).
"Brother, you are getting old, you should retire and enjoy life in peace. Let Xi Lie take care of everything in the clan." Zhao Che kowtowed and said loudly.
Zhao Qi stared at this cousin who had been following her **** since he was a child, and sighed for a long time, "Now, even if I still rely on the position of patriarch, why do you still listen to me?" Mine. The little eagle has grown up, its wings are stiff, and it wants to fly by itself."
"Brother, the little eagle is going to fly to the sky after all. Let go earlier, maybe you can break into another world." Zhao Che said.
After a silence, Zhao Qi quietly said: "What kind of position did the Han people give Xi Lie?"
"Deputy Commander of the Third Military Region, Commander, you also know that he is He Lanxiong, Gao Yuan's brother-in-law." Zhao Che said, "Besides, Li Mingjun will be the commander of a main force under the jurisdiction of the First Military Region."
"Deputy Commander of the Third Military Region, although it is an idle military region, it is not bad. Ming Jun can also serve as the commander of a main force. Gao Yuan is really generous, no wonder you are tempted. Forget it, then How is Gao Yuan going to deal with me?"
Zhao Che said in a low voice: "The Han State said, brother, you will live with Zhao Duo by the Big Wild Goose Lake."
Zhao Qi burst out laughing. "It's the Big Wild Goose Lake again, Gao Yuan is really interesting, Zhou Yuan, Tian Dan and his son, King Qi's family. Now we add our Great King Zhao's family and me, it seems that the Big Wild Goose Lake will be really lively in the future. I was thinking, Gao Yuan must be planning to place King Qin, King Chu and other family members on the shore of Dayan Lake together, so that everyone can join forces there and talk about the world, right? Interesting, it’s really interesting.”
Facing Zhao Qi's ridicule, Zhao Che bowed his head and remained silent, but he was thinking in his heart that maybe the King of Han thought so. It is indeed a wicked thing to exile these people who are competing with him to the same place, and let them meet and hear each other every day.
"Well, what else do I need to do to come to Gaoyuan?" Zhao Qi stared at Zhao Che and said.
"I said long ago that Mr. Zhao is a smart man." There was a burst of hearty laughter outside the door, and Yi Bin pushed the door open and entered.
"Does Director Yi have the habit of listening to corners?" Zhao Qi asked coldly.
"I'm sorry, I've been in our line of work for a long time, so I can't help but have some bad habits. It's one of the necessary skills." Yi Bin didn't think it was disobedient, and said with a smile: "Master Zhao The country of Zhao is still very prestigious, even in Eastern Zhao. There are still many people who secretly communicated with you, so of course, we still need Mr. Zhao to issue an official document announcing that he is going to join us Meaning, in this way, the world will be much calmer."
"I didn't expect that I, an old guy, would be of any use." Zhao Qi laughed at himself.
"Master Zhao has just said it. Although you will live by the Dayan Lake in the future, you can still participate in politics. For people like Tian Dan and Zhou Yuan, Da Wangxue often writes to them to ask them about the way of governing the country and the army. Well, like Tian Dan’s son, Tian Yuanyuan, who came to the shore of Dayan Lake and was enthusiastic about public welfare to benefit his hometown. This year, he was elected as a member of Dayan County, and he is seriously participating in the government of my big man.” Yi Bin laughed.
"Is there such a thing? You allow people like Tian Yuanyuan to re-enter the political arena?" Zhao Qi was amazed.
"What's wrong, my king is broad-minded and inclusive, saying that since Tian Yuanyuan was elected by the people of Dayan County, he must respect the opinions of the people. You Jinxie, when it comes to governing the country, he has his own way of governing the country. Compared with ordinary people, it is many times stronger. Such a person is willing to work for my big man. We welcome it, even if it is you, Mr. Zhao If you are willing to run for parliament in the future, that is also possible.”
"I'm so old, I don't want to play these games with you?" Zhao Qi said angrily.
"Master Zhao thinks this is a game?" Yi Bin smiled, "When you go to live by the Dayan Lake in the future, you will know that this game is really interesting. The strength of our big man is not the same as him. Can't get rid of it."
"The Qin army in Jinyang City has been taken down, but what about Lu Bin's tens of thousands of Qin army, this is not easy to deal with, if you lose this battle with Lu Chao, everything will still be closed Are your cavalry in place? The little soldiers in Ren Xilie's hands alone will never be able to stop Qin soldiers." Zhao Qi turned the topic back to the current battle situation. Now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, he will I have to change my identity. If the Han army fails, not only will they suffer heavy losses, but even his Zhao family will also suffer. What is certain is that King Qin is definitely not as magnanimous as Gao Yuan, who can tolerate so many losers. Well done If he was alive, he fell into the hands of the Qin people, and he would never escape the punishment of being quartered by five horses.
"Master Zhao, please don't worry, there is absolutely no room for the people of Qin to stand up in this battle." Yi Bin smiled and said: "We will sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and watch the wind and clouds rise. Maybe it won't be long before you can I saw Lu Chao, the general of the Qin State, here!"
"I hope so." Zhao Qi said in his mouth, but he didn't quite believe it in his heart.
Ten miles away from Jinyang, on Maoer Mountain, 50,000 Zhao troops lined up against the mountain, firmly blocking the road to Jinyang. Except for Zhao Che who took away the 2,000 city defense troops, Zhao Xilie deployed all he could All the forces on the battlefield were placed here, and his central army was set up on Mao'er Mountain. Although its strength was twice that of the opponent's, he did not have the slightest intention to underestimate the enemy. He is very clear that the current Western Zhao army is no longer the strong army of the Great Zhao under Zhao Mu's leadership that could fight the Qin army head-on. The backbone of the Great Zhao is in Changping. It has been cut in two by the Qin army. Where are too many outstanding generals and soldiers who dared to fight, they were massacred by Bai Qi in that small place. Changping is the place where Zhao Jun's soul was broken. The current Zhao Jun, whether it is generals or soldiers, is not a level worse than the Qin people.
But today, he is not fighting alone. The request given to him by the Han army is to block it for an hour, and the Han army cavalry has completed the encirclement of the Qin army. Annihilate this Qin army here, and then move forward to Hangu Pass. If you can catch Hangu Pass by surprise and capture the Qin people's fortress guarding the Guandong Great Plain in one fell swoop, Qin will be considered half dead.
It is already after noon, counting the time, the other party should have arrived. Zhao Xilie looked at the windy and snowy distance, and took a deep breath: "Pass down the order, win this battle, the living will be rewarded with thirty taels of silver, and the dead will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver per person. Tell the soldiers that this is I, Zhao Xilie, said, I will go bankrupt. I will also fulfill my promise."
Cao Tianci, standing beside Zhao Xilie, smiled and said: "General Zhao, there is no need for you to go bankrupt. Since you have defected to my big man, then your soldiers are also my big man's soldiers. Today's battle, as long as we persist until we finish The encirclement. The living will reward fifty taels of silver, and the deceased will receive two hundred taels of pension, which is paid by our Han court.”
Zhao Xilie turned his head to look at Cao Tianci, and nodded vigorously, "Okay, have you heard what Minister Cao said, let me pass on the original words, the living will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver, and the deceased will be rewarded with two hundred taels of compensation."
A moment later, deafening cheers came from the phalanx at the foot of the mountain. Cao Tianci couldn't help raising his eyebrows. It seems that the soldiers of Great Zhao still reward gold and silver very heavily. This is very different from the Han army. The Han army does not need to be stimulated by rewarding silver, because everyone It is very clear that only when the big men continue to win victories on the battlefield, their families can live a better life than they are now.
Or, this is the difference between Dahan and other countries.
"Here we come!" A soldier beside him yelled, and in the wind and snow, a war horse first appeared in everyone's sight, and then, the flag of Qin State suddenly flashed, behind the flag , a row of cavalry appeared in front of everyone.
"Beat the drum, prepare to fight!"
On Mao'er Mountain, dozens of big drums rumbled, and the rhythmic drumbeats began to respond to the formation below the mountain. Tens of thousands of Zhao's troops immediately entered a state of preparation.
Sure enough, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although the Zhao army is declining, both in terms of combat effectiveness and morale, it is no longer comparable to what it was ten years ago, but once this posture is pulled away, it still looks energetic. .
The sudden appearance of Zhao Jun blocking the way ahead was really unexpected by the people of Qin. Gou Yi was also taken aback when he heard the news. What is Zhao Xilie trying to do?
"Come here, go and inform Zhao Xilie that my Daqin army is going to Jinyang to help him put down the rebellion. Make way quickly, or you will bear the consequences." Gou Yi said viciously.
"General, why bother talking so much, just attack directly." A general beside him suggested.
"Are you stupid? Our cavalry rushed here in the wind and snow, rested for a while without taking a breath, how could we have the strength to fight? ~IndoMTL.com~ We only have 5,000 cavalry now, do you think we can break up the opponent's lineup with these 5,000 cavalry?" Gou Yi squinted his eyes and looked at the heavily guarded phalanx in front of him, but his heart was shaking. He played the snare drum, this Zhao Xilie obviously got the news long ago, he is here to relax and wait for work.
Qin Jun's reaction was somewhat beyond Zhao Xilie's expectations, but he certainly wished for it to be delayed for a while. Facing Qin's envoy, he said righteously and honestly: "Our army has something to do with the Jinyang matter." If you have the ability to suppress the rebellion, don't bother the Qin army, please return the Qin army to Lu Bin."
"General Zhao, our country still has 5,000 troops in Jinyang. If they are injured, can the general afford it? Aren't you afraid that I will question the army?"
"Of course, I can take this responsibility. Your envoy, please go back. If you don't listen to dissuasion and insist on going to Jinyang, then don't blame me for being rude." Zhao Xilie said coldly, thinking that at this moment Jinyang Most of the 5,000 Qin troops in the city would have been killed by swords, and they would be responsible for it.
The envoy of Qin left angrily. Both sides felt that they had achieved their goals.
As the cavalry of the Qin Army gradually regained their strength, Gou Yi got on his horse and said, "In this case, let's spend a lot of time. After half an hour, the formation of the Zhao Army was disrupted, and the infantry arrived, and immediately entered In the middle of the battle, the Zhao army was defeated in one fell swoop."
"Follow me!"
The sound of war drums rumbled, accompanied by the thunderous sound of horseshoes, thousands of cavalry from the Qin army divided into three groups, and launched a full-scale attack on the left and right wings of the Zhao army's position and the central army. (To be continued.)
