Just when Lu Gong was shouting to the sky, extremely sad and angry, Wang Heng's people had already arrived.
They shouted loudly: "We are Xiang Yu's rebel army, raising food and wages to fight against Qin. You put down your money on your own, we only seek wealth, not life."
The people around him were all shouting curses.
Wang Heng's people surrounded these people and asked for money one by one. Mr. Lu burst into tears and could only watch as two loads of money were taken away.
Wang Heng's soldiers and horses looked at the money and then at the ragged Mr. Lu, and they all whispered to each other: "The people of Pei County are so rich now?"
Lu Gong was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
The people around him almost vomited blood. Because of Lu Gong's standards, Wang Heng's people always suspected that the people around him were hiding it and not reporting it: How come they have so much money, but you only have three or two copper coins? Is it buried in the soil on the roadside?
The people were miserable and just asked the officers and soldiers in Peixian County to come out quickly.
As a result, Wang Heng's people were very clever. They estimated that the time was almost up and immediately ran away with their belongings.
Because Lu Gong was robbed one after another, there were not many wealthy households outside Pei County. Even if the house could not be moved, all the soft goods inside had been cleaned up, leaving only a few old slaves to guard the yard.
Therefore, Wang Heng's people did not gain much from this trip. They only plundered the money carried by the people outside the city.
However, fortunately, Lu Gong contributed a lot of money, so the group felt that they could barely make the deal, so they ran back like a gust of wind.
As a result, they met Zhao Tuo's men just as they were halfway there.
Zhao Tuo was deceived by Lu Wan and made a big circle. By chance, he happened to block Wang Heng's way.
The two parties looked at each other.
Wang Heng's people were a little surprised: The Qin people came so quickly? Could it be that they had laid an ambush a long time ago?
Zhao Tuo's people were also a little surprised: judging from their clothes, they were a group of rebels. Acting in groups in broad daylight? The rebels in Peixian County were really arrogant.
In the end, Wang Heng's people were the first to react, and they shouted: "Disperse."
When marching and fighting, the most important thing is morale. When morale is high, the soldiers advance and retreat in unison. Even if you fight to the last person, you can keep the formation unchanged and give the enemy maximum lethality.
If there is a collapse during the fight, it will become a scattered group of soldiers facing the opponent's organized massacre, so it is useless no matter how many people there are.
But now, Wang Heng has too few people. One hundred people versus three thousand, no matter how well organized it is, it's useless. Let alone a group of rebels, not even the soldiers of Wei could withstand it.
Therefore, these people dispersed wisely. Only one can escape.
Zhao Tuo's people accordingly divided into more than a dozen teams and chased them everywhere.
Of course, it is impossible to return the recovered money to the people. All the soldiers were rewarded. It is precisely because of this that the soldiers fought even more bravely.
Of the more than a hundred Wang Heng's men and horses, only four or five of them escaped in the end.
These four or five people were all injured and went up the mountain crying: "Prime Minister, Prime Minister, something terrible has happened."
Wang Heng walked down quickly and asked hurriedly: "What's the matter?"
Those people said: "We met the Qin soldiers at the foot of the mountain, a total of three thousand people. The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and they are unstoppable. They are hunting aggressively and are coming from a distance. Prime Minister, leave quickly, otherwise you will die. undoubtedly."
As soon as Wang Heng heard this, he immediately ordered his troops and horses and shouted: "Act according to plan C."
The sergeants took action in an orderly manner.
Wang Heng is a person who makes decisions before acting, not to mention that he saw Xiang Liang's failure with his own eyes. Therefore, from the beginning of the incident, Wang Heng formulated three plans: A, B, and C.
Plan A: If the world changes, the people will be confused. Wang Henghui immediately raised the flag of righteousness, recruited people, and then invaded Xianyang and took over the world.
Plan B: If the Qin people stabilize Chu, the people in various states and counties will gradually stabilize. Wang Heng, on the other hand, sent people to dress up as Qin soldiers and went around burning, killing and looting, arousing the resentment of the people. At this time, Wang Heng launched King Huai of Chu, arousing the people of Chu's homesickness for their homeland, and then split the land and divided the borders.
Unfortunately, Plan A did not happen. Wang Heng has not yet had time to implement Plan B.
Now that the Qin people have pounced, they can only implement plan C.
Plan C is to retreat to South Vietnam according to the established route, rely on the strength of the land to resist, and retreat naturally when the Qin people run out of food and grass. After the Qin army is defeated, he will come out to fight for the world.
Wang Heng has asked his sergeants to practice these three plans countless times, so now he calls out Plan C. These sergeants all acted in an orderly manner.
Who should be responsible for the food and grass, who should look after the horses, and be busy but not chaotic. It only took half an hour to pack everything up.
Then, Wang Heng shouted: "Let's go."
The remaining more than 400 people took Xiang Pi and King Huai of Chu hostage and fled south quickly.
Not long after they left, Zhao Tuo also brought someone to find them.
When they came to the valley, they found traces of the camp here, and even the charcoal fire on the ground was still warm. It could be seen that Wang Heng and his group had not gone far.
Zhao Tuo said with emotion: "Huai Guzi's meticulous work, the news sent is indeed accurate, it's absolutely true, Wang Heng was hiding here a moment ago."
The deputy general on the side asked: "General, now that they are gone, what should we do? Should we disperse our troops and pursue them in all directions?"
Zhao Tuo shook his head: "Look around and see if the craftsman named Wang Bing has left any clues."
Not long after, a Qin soldier found a map among a pile of withered grass. The rest of the map was intact except for the South Vietnam piece that had been torn off.
Zhao Tuo frowned: "It turns out they fled to South Vietnam. If they really get there, I'm afraid it will take a lot of trouble to wipe out these people."
Subsequently, Zhao Tuo ordered his three thousand troops to travel day and night to catch up with Wang Heng's men as soon as possible.
When Wang Heng escaped, he used a lot of deception methods. For example, discard some armor, knives, and guns at the intersection to create a sign of escaping to the east.
Unfortunately, Wang Bing always sneaked some clues into these swords and guns, telling Zhao Tuo that they were actually heading south.
Therefore, Zhao Tuo always stayed behind and Wang Heng was unable to get rid of them.
On the way to escape, Wang Heng was a little troubled: Why is Zhao Tuo so unpredictable? A few times I even sent a dozen people to deliberately make some noise in the east, but I didn't deceive them?
That night, at dinner time, Wang Heng's people were all busy eating. After eating, they were still busy running for their lives.
Xiang Pi walked over slowly and said timidly: "Prime Minister, in my opinion, our country, the Chu State, is in danger."
Wang Heng was annoyed and asked holding his breath: "Then what do you have in mind?"
Xiang Pi said: "I think it is better to escape separately than to be caught in one fell swoop."
Wang Heng turned to look at Xiang Pi, his eyes a little dangerous.
Xiang Pi shrank his neck and said cautiously: "I'm thinking of Da Chu, I'm just making a suggestion."
Wang Heng asked calmly: "Then how do you think we should run separately?"
When Xiang Pi heard this, he immediately became energetic and said, "Why don't I take King Huai on the small road, and the Prime Minister will take the soldiers and horses on the main road."
Wang Heng smiled: "What you mean is that I took people as bait to lure away the Qin people behind. And you took your grandson and slipped away quietly. If things can be done in the future, you can Come out and continue to be the King of Chu. If things cannot be done, you will remain anonymous and continue to live your life, right?"
Xiang Pi suddenly panicked, shook his head repeatedly and said, "Prime Minister, you have wronged me. King Huai of Chu, that is a descendant of King Chu. Who am I? How dare I pretend to be his grandfather?"
Wang Heng sneered and thought: Who doesn't know whether this King Huai is your grandson?
After getting along with him for such a long time, Wang Heng also understood Xiang Pi's temper. This guy was very timid and would shrink back when something happened. All day long I thought about how to escape and how to live incognito.
If we really want to divide our forces today, 90% of the time this old guy will fly away.
In fact, he was being chased like a lost dog. The presence or absence of this so-called King Huai of Chu no longer mattered. Even if Xiang Pi ran away with the little baby, the worst he could do was turn around and catch another one.
Wang Heng mainly couldn't swallow this breath.
He suddenly took out his sword and put it on Xiangpi's neck.
Xiang Pi suddenly trembled with fright and sat down on the ground with a plop.
He said tremblingly: "Prime Minister, why is this? I am very loyal to me."
Wang Heng said helplessly: "I'm afraid no one believes these words, so you don't need to repeat them."
Xiang Pi said with a bitter face: "My loyalty to Chu can be seen from the past, and it is comparable to Qu Yuan back then..."
As he spoke, he glanced at the rebels around him to see if there was anyone who could help him. However, as he looked around, he found that the people around him were very indifferent. It was obvious that no one believed his words. .
Xiang Pi felt desolate in his heart and muttered in a low voice: "The whole world is drunk but I am awake alone..."
Wang Heng raised his sword and slashed at Xiang Pi's neck.
At the critical moment of life and death, Xiang Pi shouted: "Prime Minister, why did you kill me?"
Wang Heng sneered: "I have tried every means along the way to get rid of the pursuers, but I have never succeeded. After thinking about it, I am afraid there is a spy among us. Someone is trying to get rid of the Qin people. Lead the way so we can never escape.”
Wang Bing, who was not far away, felt a chill in his heart after hearing this. He touched his neck and felt it was a little cold.
Xiang Pi said with an aggrieved look: "Someone snitched, what does that have to do with me?"
Wang Heng said: "Except for your two grandsons, everyone here is an old minister of my Wang family. They voluntarily stayed to help me fight against Qin. There is no way they could inform on me."
Wang Bing breathed a sigh of relief, slowly took two steps back, and stood among the soldiers. He stood among Wang's old ministers. It made him feel safe.
Xiang Pi cried without tears, and said with a look of sorrow and anger: "It's really not me. I'm already old, how can I have the energy to deliver the news?"
Wang Heng said quietly: "If it wasn't you, then it would be your grandson?"
Xiang Pi said with a bitter face: "He is the king of Chu, how can he harm himself?"
Wang Heng said angrily: "At this time, you are still lying to me with sweet words?"
Seeing that Wang Heng was about to kill someone, King Huai of Chu suddenly rushed forward, lying on his neck, crying and saying: "Don't kill my grandfather, don't kill my grandfather."
The voice was shrill and moving.
Wang Heng sighed: "That's all, one is killed, two are killed. Anyway..."
Seeing that both of them were about to die, Xiang Pi suddenly became wise and said loudly: "Prime Minister, Prime Minister, I have a plan that can prevent the transmission of news through subtlety."
"Kill me, and you won't know this plan. If I hadn't done it carefully, you still wouldn't be able to escape the pursuers."
Wang Heng thought about it and found that this was indeed the case. So he asked: "What's your plan?"
Xiang Pi said breathlessly: "Use the continuous sitting method. The Qin people like to use the continuous sitting method. Let five soldiers form a team and supervise each other. Whether eating, sleeping, or even going to the toilet, they must be together. These five people Whatever one of them does will be seen by the other four."
"During the night watch, each team sends one person to monitor the other four sleeping people to see who is not sleeping and is doing bad things secretly."
"At the same time, the five teams are together, and the five night watchers can supervise each other. Lest anyone take advantage of the night watch to pass on the news."
After hearing this, Wang Heng nodded with satisfaction: "Your plan does make some sense."
After listening to their conversation, Wang Bing frowned: "If that's the case, then we really can't send any more news."
He secretly looked in the direction of Peixian County and thought: What's going on with Zhao Tuo? Why haven't you chased me after so long?
…………
Zhao Tuo was a little helpless with three thousand people.
Originally, they were clinging to Wang Heng's group. But when passing a river, he found that the wooden bridge had been burned down by someone, so Zhao Tuo had to take people to take a detour, and finally found a place with shallower water, and then managed to pass.
But in this way, for the first time, he distanced himself from Wang Heng.
After Zhao Tuo and the others left, Liu Ji and his group emerged from the dense forest.
Fan Kuai asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Brother, why should we help that group of rebels?"
Liu Ji said: "If you help them, you are helping us. As long as this group of rebels is here, the court will never care about us. They even think that we are among that group of rebels."
"So we can't let them catch up with the rebels. Once they catch up, after a little interrogation, they will know that we are not inside. Maybe they will turn around and continue to hunt for us."
The others nodded in deep understanding.
Lu Wan said: "I have been thinking hard for a long time. Do you think... these soldiers and horses of the imperial court are not here to arrest us at all? Are they just here to arrest that group of rebels?"
Liu Ji chuckled: "It doesn't matter who caught it. The more chaotic Chu Land is, the better our business will be. If the chaos can be extreme, maybe we can fish in troubled waters and become masters."
Having said this, Liu Ji waved his hand: "Follow me."
Then he hurried towards the direction of Peixian County.
Lu Wan and others asked from behind: "Brother, where do you want to go?"
Liu Ji said without looking back: "It seems that those Qin soldiers have gone to South Vietnam. Peixian County is safe for the time being. I plan to go back quietly and ask Master Xiao to see where these Qin soldiers came from and what they have done." Are you here to catch me?"
"If they are here to catch me, I will continue to hide in the mountains. If they are not here to catch me...hehe, then hurry up and marry Lu Gong's daughter home. To avoid long nights and dreams."
