Chapter 1203: Carrying on the Past and Opening the Future (Ninety-Three) New Year’s Bell (Continued Four)

"Hello everyone, you and Xilie have done a good job!" Zhao Qi looked at his clan brother Zhao Che who was kneeling in front of him. He was so angry that he went up and kicked Zhao Che hard with both feet, "Zhao This clan will eventually be destroyed in your hands."

Zhao Che did not succumb to Zhao Qi this time. Although he did not dare to resist after being kicked twice, he still raised his head and looked at the patriarch of the Zhao family: "Brother, this time, Xilie did nothing wrong. This is also the reason why I agreed to follow him. If you follow your wishes, eldest brother, our Zhao family will really be destroyed. You have also seen what happened today. How did those Qin people put my Zhao family in their eyes? Their plot , Brother, haven’t you seen it clearly yet?”

Zhao Qi never saw it clearly, but this was where his anger lay. Everything he had worked so hard to manage turned out to be a joke in the end. The people of Qin regarded him as a dispensable trash that could be swept out at any time, and the city Above Yang Jie's head, the rain of arrows said everything (I am the King Chapter 1203).

"Brother, you are getting old, so you should retire and enjoy a peaceful life. Let Xi Lie take care of everything in the clan." Zhao Che kowtowed and said loudly.

Zhao Qi stared at this cousin who had followed him and followed his orders since he was a child for a long time, and sighed, "Now that things have happened, even if I am still in the position of the clan leader, how can you still listen to me. The little eagle has grown up, its wings have hardened, and it wants to fly on its own.”

"Brother, the little eagle will eventually fly to the sky. If you let go earlier, maybe you can break into another world." Zhao Che said.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Qi said quietly: "What position did the Han people give Xi Lie?"

"The deputy commander of the Third Military Region, as you know Commander, is He Lanxiong, Gao Yuan's brother-in-law." Zhao Che said, "Furthermore, Li Mingjun will serve as the commander of a main force under the First Military Region."

"Deputy Commander of the Third Military Region, although it is an idle military region, it is not bad. Mingjun can also serve as the commander of a main force. Gao Yuan is really generous, no wonder you are tempted. Well, what are Gao Yuan going to do? Deal with me?"

Zhao Che whispered: "The Han Kingdom said that brother, you and Zhao Duo will live together by Dayan Lake."

Zhao Qi laughed loudly. "It's the bank of Dayan Lake again. Gaoyuan is really interesting. Zhou Yuan, Tian Dan and his son, and the King of Qi's family. Now we've added our family of King Zhao and myself. It seems that the bank of Dayan Lake will be really lively in the future. I'm thinking that Gao Yuan must have planned to move the King of Qin and the King of Chu to the bank of Dayan Lake, where they can join forces and talk about the world, right? It's interesting, but it's really interesting."

Facing Zhao Qi's ridicule, Zhao Che lowered his head and said nothing, but he was thinking in his heart that maybe the King of Han thought so. It is indeed a bad taste to banish these people who compete with him to the same place and let them see each other and hear each other day and night.

"Okay, guess what else Gao Yuan needs me to do?" Zhao Qi stared at Zhao Che and said.

"I have said before that Mr. Zhao is definitely a smart man." A burst of hearty laughter came from outside the door, and Yi Bin pushed the door open and entered.

"Does Director Yi have the habit of listening to others?" Zhao Qi said with a cold face.

"I'm sorry, I have been in our line of work for a long time, so I inevitably have some bad habits. Being in the corner is one of the necessary skills." Yi Bin did not feel dissatisfied, and said with a smile: "Master Zhao's Zhao Guo It is still very prestigious. Even in Dong Zhao, there are still many people who are secretly communicating with you, so of course we still need Mr. Zhao to issue an official document to announce it to the world.

Make it clear that you want to surrender to my big man. This way, the world will be much calmer. "

"I didn't expect that this old guy like me could still be of some use." Zhao Qi said mockingly to himself.

"Master Zhao has said it before. Although you will live by Dayan Lake in the future, you can still participate in political affairs. People like Tian Dan and Zhou Yuan. Wangxue often writes to them to consult them on how to govern the country and the army, like Tian Dan's son Tian Yuanyuan came to Dayan Lake and was enthusiastic about public welfare and benefiting his hometown. He was also elected as a councilor of Dayan County this year, and he has seriously participated in the government of our country." Yi Bin said with a smile.

"Is there such a thing? You actually allow people like Tian Yuanyuan to re-enter the political stage?" Zhao Qi was surprised.

"What's not allowed? My king is broad-minded and inclusive. Since Tian Yuanyuan was elected by the people of Dayan County, he must respect the opinions of the people. Besides, people like Tian Yuanyuan have a bright mind. , when it comes to governing the country, he has his own set of methods, which are many times better than those of ordinary people. We welcome such people who are willing to serve our big man. Even you, Mr. Zhao, will be willing to do so in the future. It’s okay to run for parliament.”

"I'm an old man and I don't have the time to play these games with you?" Zhao Qi said angrily.

"Does Mr. Zhao think this is a game?" Yi Bin smiled, "When you go to live by Dayan Lake in the future, you will know that this game is really interesting. The strength of our big man is inseparable from him. Woolen cloth."

"The Qin army in Jinyang City has been taken down, but Lu Bin's tens of thousands of Qin troops are not easy to deal with. If you lose this battle with Lu Chao, everything will still be over. Your Are the cavalry in place? The few soldiers Ren Xilie has in hand cannot stop the Qin soldiers." Zhao Qi turned the topic back to the current battle situation. Since the matter was a foregone conclusion, he had to change. If the Han army fails, not only will they suffer heavy losses, but the 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 to live well. If he falls into the hands of the Qin people, he will never escape the punishment of being quartered by five horses.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Zhao, there is absolutely no room for the Qin people to stand up in this battle." Yi Bin smiled and said, "We will just sit on the Diaoyutai and watch the storm rise. Maybe it won't be long before you can watch it here. Here is Lu Chao, the general of the State of Qin!"

"I hope so." Zhao Qi said, but he didn't quite believe it in his heart.

Ten miles away from Jinyang, at Mao'er Mountain, 50,000 Zhao troops lined up on the mountain, firmly blocking the road to Jinyang. Except for Zhao Che taking away the 2,000 city defense troops, Zhao Xilie would use all the forces he could deploy , all of them were placed here, and his central army was located on Mao'er Mountain. Although his strength was twice that of his opponent, he did not underestimate the enemy at all. He knew very well that today's Western Zhao soldiers and horses were no longer the strong Zhao army that could compete with the Qin army under Zhao Mu. The backbone of the Zhao army was in Changping. It had been cut in two by the Qin army. There, too many outstanding Zhao generals and soldiers who dared to fight were massacred by Bai Qi in that small place. Changping is the place where Zhao Jun's soul died. Today's Zhao Jun, both in terms of generals and soldiers, is far behind the Qin people.

But today, he is not fighting alone. The requirement given to him by the Han army is that if he blocks it for an hour, the Han army's cavalry can complete the encirclement of the Qin army. Wipe out all the Qin army here, and then march directly to Hangu Pass. If Hangu Pass can be caught off guard and seize the Qin people's fortress pass guarding the Great Plains of Guandong in one fell swoop, Qin will be half dead.

It was already after lunch, and counting the time, the other party should have arrived. Zhao Xilie looked at the windy and snowy distance, and took a deep breath: "Send the order, if you win this battle, the living will be rewarded with thirty taels of silver. Each of the dead will receive a pension of one hundred taels. Tell the soldiers, this is I, Zhao Xilie, said that I will go bankrupt and I will fulfill my promise.”

Cao Tianci, who was standing next to Zhao Xilie, smiled and said: "General Zhao, there is no need for you to go bankrupt. Since you have defected to my Han Dynasty, your soldiers are my Han soldiers. In today's battle, as long as we hold on until we complete the encirclement." The reward is fifty taels of silver, and the deceased is a pension of two hundred taels, which is the sum paid by the Han Dynasty."

Zhao Xilie turned to look at Cao Tianci and nodded vigorously, "Okay, have you heard what Minister Cao said? If the original words are passed on, the living will be rewarded fifty taels of silver, and the dead will be compensated two hundred taels."

After a while, deafening cheers came from the phalanxes at the foot of the mountain. Cao Tianci couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. It seems that the soldiers of Zhao are still very generous in rewards of gold and silver. This is very different from the Han army. The Han army does not need the stimulation of silver rewards when fighting, because everyone They all know that only if the strong men continue to win battlefield victories can their families live a better life than they do now.

Or, this is what makes the Han Dynasty different from other countries.

"Coming!" A soldier shouted beside him. In the wind and snow, a war horse first jumped into everyone's sight. Then, the flag of Qin suddenly flashed. Behind the flag, rows of The cavalry appeared in front of everyone.

"Bang the drums and get ready to fight!"

On Mao'er Mountain, dozens of big drums rumbled, and the formation below the mountain began to respond to the rhythmic drumbeats. As one after another, tens of thousands of Zhao soldiers immediately entered a state of preparation for war.

Sure enough, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although Zhao Jun is declining, both combat effectiveness and morale are no longer comparable to those ten years ago, but once this stance is opened, he still seems to be full of energy.

The sudden appearance of the Zhao army blocking the road ahead was beyond the Qin people's expectations. When Gou Yi heard the report, he was also shocked. What did Zhao Xilie want to do?

"Come here, tell Zhao Xilie that our Daqin army is going to Jinyang to help him quell the rebellion. Make way quickly, or you will be responsible for the consequences." Gou Yi said fiercely.

"General, why bother talking so much, just attack them directly." A general beside him suggested.

"Are you stupid? We cavalry rushed here in the wind and snow. We didn't take a breath and rest for a while. How could we have the strength to fight? We dragged them for a while to catch our breath, and then started fighting immediately. Besides, we are now There are only five thousand cavalry. Do you think we can break up the opponent's lineup with these five thousand cavalry?" Gou Yi squinted his eyes and looked at the strict square formation in front of him, but his heart was beating a little drum, this Zhao Xilie was clearly the enemy? I have already received the news, so I am waiting for work here.

The reaction of the Qin army was somewhat beyond Zhao Xilie's expectation, but it was certainly something he wished for if it could be delayed for a while. Facing the Qin envoy, he said righteously: "What happened in Jinyang, our army has the ability to put down the rebellion." , If you don't bother the Qin army, please return to Lubin."

"General Zhao, our country still has five thousand troops stationed in Jinyang. If they are injured, can the general bear the responsibility? Aren't you afraid that I will accuse the army?" Lai Shi asked sternly.

"Of course, I can take this responsibility. Please go back, envoy. If you insist on going to Jinyang without listening to the advice, don't blame me for being rude." Zhao Xilie said coldly, thinking that most of the 5,000 Qin soldiers in Jinyang City had already died under the sword, and he still had no responsibility.

The Qin envoy left angrily. Both sides felt that they had achieved their goals. The two armies faced each other, and it was magically cold for nearly half an hour.

As the Qin cavalry gradually recovered their vitality, Gou Yi jumped on the warhorse, "In this case, let's spend more time. In half an hour, disrupt the Zhao army's formation, and when the infantry arrives, immediately join the battle and defeat the Zhao army in one fell swoop."

"Yes, sir!"

The sound of war drums rumbled, accompanied by the thunderous sound of horse hooves. Thousands of Qin cavalry, divided into three routes, launched a full-scale attack on the left and right wings and the center of the Zhao army's position. (To be continued.)
