"No." Mang Mao quickly led the Wei army to pursue the Qin army.
Le Cheng has achieved this level. If he can't keep the Qin army, he might as well kill himself.
Le Cheng took a look at the situation of the Qin army. With Mang Mao's strength, he should not encounter any danger, so he led the Zhao army back to Jianshui to meet Jia Yan.
"Run away. Don't look back." General Qin endured the severe pain and crawled out from the pile of rotten meat. His back was a bloody mess and he didn't know how many bones he had.
But now there was no time for treatment, and Zhao Jun caught up again.
Lecheng's attack just now killed more than 30% of the Qin army, severely damaged 50% of the Qin army, and left less than 20% of the Qin army with minor or no injuries, and had completely lost its combat effectiveness.
"My uncle, I didn't expect that he would die here in the first battle of surrendering to the Qin State. The people of the Central Plains are really terrible. No wonder even the Qin State cannot defeat them." Qin General Shaodao thought in his mind.
In his mind, the Qin State was already a giant, and the Qin Army was even more invincible.
But there are six such countries in the Central Plains!
Why are there so many horrible things in the world!
Shaodao couldn't figure it out.
A few years ago, Shaodao was not a Qin person, but a barbarian living in southern Bashu.
Since the Qiang people kept coming down from the mountains, attacking their villages and destroying their homes, they had no choice but to seek refuge with the Qin State.
In the end, Qin not only helped them repel the Qiang people, but also built them houses under the mountains, divided the land, taught them how to farm, and told them that farming was more stable than hunting.
The people of Qin also exchanged exquisite silks and dazzling colored glazes for the medicines they collected on the mountains. These medicines were everywhere on the mountains and were worthless. No one wanted them before, but now they can exchange them for silks and colored glazes.
Many people are living a good life.
Therefore, many barbarians, including Shaodao, were grateful to Qin.
A few months ago, the Qin people came to recruit young men. Because of his strong learning ability, he had already learned the Qin language and could communicate with the Qin people normally. He was also the leader of one of the barbarian tribes, so he was assigned by the Qin people to lead this barbarian army. The army formed.
It's not that Qin doesn't want to appoint other people to be generals. It's just that they don't understand the language and it's useless to send more powerful generals.
If you don't understand what he's saying, and if he doesn't understand what you're saying, you'll be blinded if you don't understand.
It would be better to simply choose a barbarian as a general and not expect him to play a big role and not be a hindrance.
I don’t know what the other barbarians thought about Shao Dao, but he came to the battlefield with the idea of making a contribution.
After he joined the Qin State, he began to envy the lives of the Qin people, especially the lives of the Qin nobles, whose every move showed elegance.
Unlike him, he looks like a barbarian who has never seen the world.
Later, he heard that all the countries in the East called Qin a barbarian and scolded Qin for being cruel and unkind.
From Shaodao's point of view, although he had to pay a lot of taxes every year after joining the Qin State, his life was definitely much better than before.
At least there is food to eat without having to fight wild beasts.
Shaodao especially wanted to know what those civilized and benevolent countries in the East were like, and whether they were better than Qin.
"Hey, I'm afraid there's no chance." Shaodao looked back and saw that his pursuers were only a few dozen steps away from him.
And he was seriously injured, making it impossible to escape.
Suddenly, Shaodao felt his eyes go dark and his body fell to the side.
"It looks like he lost too much blood. Send him to the back for treatment by Dr. Zhao Jun." Mang Mao picked up the burning knife and threw it to the soldiers next to him.
"We surrender, we surrender." Dozens of soldiers who followed Shaodao out of the village saw the clan leader being arrested and quickly dropped their weapons and knelt down to surrender.
"Catch them all." Although what these Qin soldiers said did not sound like the authentic Qin dialect, Mang Mao couldn't understand it, but he still knew that kneeling on the ground meant surrender.
"Those who are not willing to surrender will be killed without leaving any one alive. The injured ones will also be given a stab wound to give them a happy ending." Mang Mao said calmly, as if he was only killing cats and dogs.
Shaodao was a general of the Qin army, so he chose to treat him to see if he could get some useful information. As for the remaining Qin soldiers who looked like barbarians, he didn't have so much kindness to treat them.
After escaping from the royal city, many things were burned, and Zhao Jun did not have many medicinal materials. If Wei Jun was injured, he still expected Zhao Jun to treat him. How could precious medicinal materials be wasted on barbarians.
The general had been captured, and his life or death was unknown. These Qin soldiers were wandering around in the mountains and forests like headless flies, not daring to resist at all. They were all killed in a short time.
After Mang Mao's inspection was correct, he led the Wei army back to Jianshui.
Jia Yan had just crossed the Jianshui River when he heard a roar. The wide bridge was destroyed by Le Cheng's blow, and the Qin army had to stop.
The Zhao army and the Han army formed a formation near the water, with their crossbows loaded and aimed at the Qin army.
The Qin army did not dare to cross the river, so they could only scold Zhao Jun on the other side, trying to delay time. There were more Qin troops coming towards here in the distance, and it was full of darkness.
"I will lead the Korean army to the rear, you retreat first!" Bao Luan said through gritted teeth.
Since they choose to go together, the Korean army must play its role.
"You Han army are good at escaping, so forget about defending, even if you use the river." Mang Mao said, "I, the Wei army, should stay. I can buy you two quarters of an hour."
It's not that the Qin army only needed two quarters of an hour to defeat the Wei army, but that two quarters of an hour was enough for the Qin army to go around to other places to cross the stream.
The Wei army had limited manpower and could not defend many places.
Moreover, Jianshui is not a big river, and it is not difficult to cross the river. There may even be a bridge not far away somewhere that he doesn't know about.
"Okay. Pay attention to safety." Le Cheng patted Mang Mao's shoulder solemnly, and then led Zhao Jun toward the southeast without looking back.
"Thank you." Bao Luan bowed and led the Korean army to leave Jianshui.
"Don't let Bai Qi catch you, he won't let you go this time." Jia Yan passed by Mang Mao and said with a smile.
"You...get out of here!" Mang Mao kept waving his hands, chasing Jia Yan away like flies.
If you say anything bad, you must expose his scars.
If he hadn't seen Jia Yan as an acquaintance, he would have been beaten.
"The whole army is spread out. The sword and shield soldiers stand at the front, and the crossbowmen are divided into two rows and stand at the back." When Zhao Jun and Han Jun left Jianshui, Mang Mao ordered.
"General, Zhao Jun is about to escape!" The deputy general of the Longxi Cavalry pointed at Zhao Jun's back, sparks almost bursting out in his eyes, "The commander-in-chief has given an order that even if Wei Jun and Han Jun are allowed to escape, Zhao Jun must be retained. No matter how high the price is."
"I'm not blind, so I can't see Zhao Jun escaping. How about you chase him alone?" Qiang Xu said angrily.
The deputy general shrank his head and suddenly became silent.
It's not like he can fly in the extraordinary realm. He can't even cross a stream, let alone chase Zhao Jun.
Even those in the extraordinary realm would not dare to chase Zhao Jun alone. Without the help of a large army, the extraordinary realm would just give away their lives.
"What's going on?" After a quarter of an hour, Wang Hao finally led his infantry to rush over from the rear. He saw only Wei Jun on the other side and looked at Qiang Yu next to him.
"Zhao Jun and Han Jun escaped, and Wei Jun came to the rear." Qiang He quickly told Wang He what happened.
"Is General Mang Mao here? I am Qin General Wang Hao." After listening, Wang Hao nodded to show that he understood, then walked to the shore and shouted to Mang Mao.
"General Wang, I have admired you for a long time." Mang Mao said, cupping his fists.
"I want to discuss something with the general." Wang Lu said.
"General, please speak." Mang Mao said.
"Your army will let our army cross the river to pursue Zhao Jun. Our army will let your army return home and will never send troops to pursue your army. What does General Mangmao think?" Wang Hao said confidently, as if he was sure that Mangmao would agree.
"The general will return home on his own, and there is no need for you to let him go. You should take care of yourselves. If the pursuit continues, I will not dare to guarantee your life safety." Mang Mao secretly cursed Wang Lu in his heart.
He was almost moved just now. If you die as a Taoist friend or as a poor Taoist, it is simply not a good deal to exchange Zhao Jun's life for Wei Jun's life.
But Mang Mao suddenly came to his senses. If he dared to do this, the relationship between Zhao and Wei would inevitably break. After that, Zhao would not only no longer provide any support to Wei, but might even send troops to attack Wei.
The State of Wei absolutely cannot bear the wrath of the State of Zhao, and the only way out is to surrender to the State of Qin.
However, Qin's goal has always been Wei's land. To surrender to Qin was undoubtedly to enter the tiger's mouth, leaving Wei with only continuous ceding of land.
"In this case, don't blame me for being merciless in the future." After saying that, Wang Lu and another Qin general openly led one-third of the Qin army to move along the Jianshui, one to the left and the other to the right. .
"General, what should we do?" the deputy general asked.
Now the Qin army is divided into three parts. If the Wei army is also divided into three parts, it will be difficult to effectively defend. Moreover, the Qin army has more soldiers and can continue to divide, but the Wei army cannot.
"I will follow Wang Lu personally. You lead the remaining soldiers to defend here, and ignore the one who goes upstream. When the time is up, regardless of whether the Qin army crosses the river or not, they will retreat immediately." Mang Mao said.
"No." The deputy general said, cupping his fists.
"Could it be that General Mangmao has figured it out? I said that the general will definitely figure it out. Why accompany Zhao Jun to death if he has no choice but to live. General, don't worry, after the matter is completed, I will never leak it." Wang He saw Mang Mao coming over and said with a smile.
"In this way, the general comes over to compete with me in martial arts. If the general wins, I will let the Qin army cross the river. If the general loses, how about letting my Wei army leave?" Mang Mao asked in return.
Do you really think he is stupid? If you won't leak it, won't you let others leak it?
Even if you really don't know how, if so many people around you hear it, how dare you guarantee that they can keep it a secret?
Moreover, the people of Qin have never been honest. Even the king of Chu dared to trick the king of Qin into killing him, let alone a small general.
Wang Hao cursed in his heart. He was sure that as long as he dared to fly to the other side of the stream, Mang Mao would lead his army to defeat him without saying a word.
The two knew that neither of them was a good person, so they stopped talking and just moved eastward along both sides of the stream.
Every time he moved a certain distance, Wang Lu would drop one or two thousand soldiers, as if he was deliberately disgusting Mang Mao.
Mang Mao ignored it and waited until two quarters of an hour passed before he immediately turned around, activated the blast formation, and ran toward the southeast.
After Bai Qi received the news, he immediately withdrew his troops and rushed back. His face was cold and his body was filled with murderous aura. The Qin army officers and soldiers did not dare to come forward to say hello and avoided them one after another.
After Bai Qi saw Zhang Ruo, he immediately asked, "Where is Sanjin now?"
"General Wang Lu sent news that the Three Jin Dynasties have crossed the Jianshui River and are now heading southeast!" Zhang Ruo said.
"Jianshui! Southeast! They want to go through Yique Pass." Bai Qi said loudly. Back then, he annihilated the 240,000 troops of Han and Wei at Yique. He was very familiar with the surrounding terrain and told the purpose of the three Jin Dynasties without thinking. , "Immediately send someone to notify Wei Feng who is guarding Yique Pass, asking him to block the three Jin coalition forces at the pass and wait for the arrival of the army."
Yique Pass has fallen into the hands of the Qin army, but because Qin's main enemy is not in the south, Yique Pass is far less important than Hulao Pass and Mengjin.
The Qin army only had 2,000 soldiers guarding Yique Pass.
However, Yique is very dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if there are only a few hundred people, the three Jin coalition forces cannot capture it in one day.
As long as Yique can hold off the three Jin coalition forces for a day, no, half a day, Wang Lu will arrive with his army.
"No." Zhang Ruo didn't have any doubts about Bai Qi's words and immediately gave the order.
"I have been leading troops for many years, but I didn't expect that I would be deceived by Zhao Jun." After Bai Qi finished his instructions, he sat on the chair and murmured.
To be honest, in the situation of Sanjin, choosing to go north to fight is the best choice. If Bai Qi, he would also choose this path. Of course, he is confident in his own strength. No matter how many enemy troops there are, None of them are his opponents.
Who would have thought that Sanjin would go south!
"The general suspects that Zhao Jun probably knew that you were waiting for them on the way to Mengjin, so he chose to go south. Moreover, as far as the general knows, not long after you arrived at our camp, Zhao Jun knew that you We have already arrived outside the city," Zhang Ruo said.
"You mean...there are people from Zhao Jun in our army..." At this time, even Bai Qi couldn't sit still.
If during a battle, a teammate suddenly stabs him in the back, no matter how strong he is, he will still be punished.
But he thought about it carefully. At that time, he secretly arrived at the Qin Army's camp. Only less than ten people in the entire Qin Army knew about it. These were all old people who had followed Qin for many years. Some even served Qin for generations. No one had The motive for taking refuge in Zhao Guo.
But it was impossible for Zhang Ruo to lie to himself.
"Don't make this matter public for now. I will report it to the king, and at the same time investigate secretly. As long as someone defectes to Zhao, I will find them out!" Bai Qi said in a deep voice.
This matter is not a trivial matter, but a major event that affects the life and death of hundreds of thousands of Qin troops.
"The general knows." Zhang Ruo nodded.
"By the way, where are the King of Zhou and Duke of Western Zhou?" Bai Qi asked curiously.
"The King of Zhou died when the Duke of Western Zhou presented the city, and the Duke of Western Zhou passed out while parading in the streets." Zhang Ruo said. Thinking of this, an uncontrollable anger surged into his heart again, "The books in the Jiuding and Shouzi rooms All fell into the hands of Zhao Jun. According to Zhou people, Zhao Jun also took away two to three thousand strong men."
Zhang Ruo didn't care about the two or three thousand people, but he became angry when he thought that these people were taken away by Zhao Guo.
He didn't dare to tell Qin Wangji about this matter. He planned to wait until he took back the Jiuding and the collection of books before telling Qin Wangji the whole thing.
As long as Jiuding returns to Qin in the end, losing Jiuding in the middle is just a trivial matter, and Qin Wangji will only reward him.
But if you report it now, it will be different. Even if Jiuding is finally recaptured, it will only make up for the past.
Bai Qi was not good at words and didn't know how to comfort Zhang Ruo, or Zhang Ruo didn't need comfort.
"I am going to visit the Duke of Western Zhou. After all, he is going to Xianyang. It would be bad if he died. Would you like to come with Mr. Wu An?" Zhang Ruo saw Bai Qi stopped talking and stood up and said.
"I won't go, general." Bai Qi waved his hand. He was not interested in the Duke of Western Zhou.
On the other side, the Zhao-Han coalition forces moved forward quickly with the support of the blast formation.
Everyone hurried on in silence, no one complained, even the wounded soldiers, the only preferential treatment was that they could ride horses or lie on stretchers.
"At this rate, we can reach Yique tomorrow." Le Cheng said happily.
As long as you cross Yique, there will be no large-scale pursuit behind you.
"We can repair it in Yique then." Bao Luan said.
"Before, we had been holding on to the best outcome, which was that Yique was still in the hands of South Korea. What if Yique had fallen into the hands of the Qin army?" Li Si suddenly said.
"Then we can only beat him down." Bao Luan said in a deep voice.
"The Qin army is in the rear and cannot be defeated." Li Si shook his head.
Bao Luan was silent. He understood that what Li Si said was actually correct. Given the danger of Yique, as long as the Qin army randomly threw a few soldiers there, they would not be able to capture it in a short time.
"For the current plan, our only way is to arrive at Yique before the Qin army's messenger and deceive Yique over." Li Si said.
As long as Yique didn't receive news that the three Jin coalition forces were escaping south, there was still a high chance that they could be deceived.
If you can't be fooled, you can only prepare for the worst.
"I'll go." Jia Yan said immediately.
"No, General Bao Luan is going with me." Li Si pointed at Bao Luan and said.
"Why me?" Bao Luan asked curiously.
"On the one hand, if Yique is still in South Korea's hands, this is the right time for the general to come forward. On the other hand, the general's accent is very similar to the Qin Guanzhong accent, which can make the South Korean defenders trust us more," Li Si said.
"Okay, I'll go with you." Bao Luan agreed immediately.
"Take this barbarian with you too," Li Si said, pointing to the burning knife.
After treatment, Shaodao has woken up. Although he was seriously injured, Shaodao is a Gangyuan-level master after all, and he will never die.
Li Si wanted to get some information about the Qin State from Shaodao before, but the other party was a barbarian, and he didn't know anything when he asked questions, which made Li Si very angry.
"What's the use of a barbarian?" Bao Luan whispered.
"It might be useful to be prepared," Li Si said calmly.
"Okay, then take them with you." Bao Luan nodded, pointed at the burning knife and yelled, "Can you ride a horse?"
"General, I can ride a horse." Shaodao nodded quickly.
"Okay, prepare a horse for him." Bao Luan said.
