Chapter 686: Why Are We so Anxious to Fight Each Other? (8)

In Xiling City, there were thunderous cheers, Nanzhang was victorious, Li Mingjun's entire army was destroyed, and the news that General Li Mingjun's horse had destroyed the army had spread to Xiling City. Before that, Zhao Qi had already wiped out Xiling City's peripheral defense. , when he was confidently preparing to launch a large-scale attack on Xiling City after a day's rest, bad news came. He devoted all his efforts to launch a lonely attack on Xiling City, but when three thousand soldiers of the Eastern Expedition Army led by Naha appeared at the top of the city At that time, his little idea was shattered. He attacked several times and suffered heavy losses but gained nothing, but Xiling City still stood firm.

Zhao Qi knew that he was doomed. The food and grass in the camp could not last for more than a few days, and he could not capture Xiling. The return journey was also a long way. Even if Daijun soldiers did not pursue them, they would not be able to leave Daijun hungry.

Zhao Jun's camp retreated ten miles back and set up camp again, but it was all gloomy and gloomy.

But in Xiling City, the generals and generals were smiling, and victory was in sight. As long as Zhao Qi could not take Xiling City, they would either starve to death under Xiling City, or starve to death on the way to withdraw their troops. Even if Zhao Qi wanted to Withdrawing his troops will not be that easy anymore, and Nanzhang will become a roadblock on his way to withdrawing his troops.

Naha excitedly stepped into Zilan's magistrate's mansion. Every time he saw this bare magistrate's mansion with almost nothing left, Naha became more interested in the famous Zilan Xianggong. I admire him very much. Among the people Naha has met in his life, Zilan is probably the most noble one, but even in a small county magistrate's family, Zilan is richer than he is now.

"Guardian, congratulations!" Naha cupped his hands to Zilan and said, "Nanzhang is a great victory. Zhao Qi becomes the best among men. We are going to win this battle completely."

Zilan's face was a little pale, but she didn't feel the joy of winning a great victory. She looked at Naha. He forced a smile and said, "General Naha, thank you for your hard work. Zhao Qi finally jumped over the wall in a hurry. If you hadn't led the army to the top, this Xiling City might not have been able to be defended."

Seeing Zilan's lack of interest, Naha was stunned, "Why doesn't the Sheriff look unhappy?"

"How can I be happy?" Zilan sighed, "Under Nanzhang City. The Zhao army of more than 10,000 people was completely destroyed. There were thousands of dead in the battle alone. These were originally the elites of Zhao. They were originally Born from the same roots, why rush each other?”

Naha blinked, and he really didn't understand why Jie Zilan was so cold. In his opinion, who wanted to beat me up. I'll beat anyone to the ground, it's that simple.

He shrugged and spread his hands, "Sheriff. There's nothing we can do about it. Some people will think you're easy to bully if you don't beat them to convince them. Only beating hurts him and makes him think of you." Just tremble, he will naturally not dare to mess with you again. But this time I came with a new message, I hope this news will make you happy!"

"oh,

Is there any other news that would make me happy? Zilan said.

"I just got the news from Hejian. Our Zhengdong Mansion won a great victory in Hetao. The governor led his army to defeat Dong Hu Yanqi. The Hu Hu people's 50,000 cavalry and more than 20,000 infantry were completely wiped out in Hetao. !" Naha grinned, "The Hetao now belongs to our Zhengdong Mansion, so Governor, you don't have to worry about Zhao Wuji sending troops again. The Hetao is established, and the governor will return when the time comes. If Zhao Jun still dares to come, given the friendship between the governor and you, he will definitely come with his troops. When the time comes, he will naturally kill one, a pair, and a pair. "

"Seriously?" Zi Lan was surprised. He wiped out Yan Qi's 50,000 cavalry. Wouldn't this break Dong Hu's back? is it possible?

"Of course it's true. This is the news sent by Commander Ye Zhen. This matter has been going on for a long time. Maybe the Governor is on his way back to Jishi City now, and Mrs. Ye has just added a new wife to the Governor. It’s a double blessing to have a big fat boy. I don’t know how lively it is now in Jishi City. It’s a pity that I can’t go back to celebrate with them!” Naha is very regretful. Although the war here in Dai County has come to an end for the time being, there will be more to come. There must be a lot to do, and he might not be able to make it back to Jishi City in time to attend this grand ceremony.

After the huge shock, the first thing Zilan thought of was the threat of the Yan State to the Zhao State after Gao Yuan got the Loop and frightened Donghu. Fortunately, Gao Yuan and the Yan State were not on the same page, and the two sides were probably hostile to each other. , Otherwise, Yan State can take advantage of this great victory to take full advantage of Zhao State's civil strife and obtain more benefits from Zhao State.

"That's a big congratulations to Governor Gao. It seems I have to prepare another gift to send to Jishi City to celebrate the Governor!" Zilan said with a smile.

Naha smiled and looked around the naked county governor's mansion, "Governor, you are so poor, why should you give me such a generous gift? I heard my governor said that the county governor will guard Shannan County and let me conquer the east. The government is not threatened by the Qin people. Such a gift is more valuable than anything else. It is precisely because of this that the county guard is in trouble this time. Although our Eastern Army is also a clay Buddha crossing the river and our troops are stretched thin, we still fight for our lives. These troops have been sent to help the county guard. Brothers, of course they have to lend a hand to help when they are in trouble, don’t you think?”

"That's it, that's it!" Zi Lan was a little bit dumbfounded. This Naha general is a typical straight man. He may be good at leading troops in war, but he probably doesn't know much about political matters. He and Gao Yuan, if I insist If there is friendship, it can only be said that there is common ground of interest now, and both parties need to stick together for warmth.

If he were the king of Zhao State, he would probably have to join forces with the Yan State court to kill Gao Yuan after Gao Yuan defeated Dong Hu. A man with such a vast territory, countless elite soldiers and ambitious generals under his command. One side of the princes is always scary.

However, it is obvious that Gao Yuan will be his strong support now. He has won a great victory and can also become a powerful bargaining chip for him. Zi Lan turned her head and looked out the window. She wondered what Zhao Mu, who had been deprived of military power by King Zhao and was marching towards Handan in frustration, would think after learning that Zhao Qi was defeated at Xiling City.

Zhao Mu is her friend. Although the two have parted ways now, Zilan is still happy to not have to fight against him on the battlefield.

And just when Zi Lan was thinking about his old friend Zhao Mu, Zhao Mu was still far away from Handan. It was not that Zhao Mu was delaying the trip, but that on the way, this man who had worked hard for Zhao Guo all his life Famous general. Finally unable to withstand the physical and mental torture during this period, he fell ill halfway through.

The past few years have been the most difficult time for Zhao Mu. After all, his energy is not as good as when he was young. Hanguguan missed the opportunity to kill King Wulie of Qin and save the overall situation in one fell swoop. From time to time, it would jump out and bite his heart. , he strongly felt that the era belonging to their generation was coming to an end in the past few years. There are too many famous generals emerging in this world. Needless to say, Li Xin of the Qin State. He is only in his early forties, but he has already become famous all over the world. In addition to Li Xin, the Qin State also has generals such as Wang Jian and Meng Tian. One after another popped up, including Lu Chao, the commander-in-chief who is now stationed in South Korea. He is also an incredible figure. In a short period of time, he suppressed the rebellions in South Korea one by one. Today's South Korea. It has become a bridgehead for the Qin people to prepare for war, and they may invade Wei at any time. Although Jing Rufeng's victory at Hangu Pass delayed this process, it could not change the general trend. Except Qin. Even in the state of Yan, there was Zhou Yu, Gaoyuan. Some extremely powerful young people like Tan Feng began to take power. On the other hand, Zhao State had no successors. There was no one among the younger generation who could compete with them. Zhao Mu really couldn't imagine that when these people When the old guy finally can't hold on any longer, where should Zhao go?

If this is just worrying about the future, then the current civil strife in Zhao State makes Zhao Mu even more worried. King Zhao wanted to cut off Zilan, but Zilan had obviously changed his original intention after the Huns invaded a few years ago. In the past two years, Daijun has been continuously strengthening its military strength, accumulating food and grass, reorganizing the army, and preparing for war. It has also colluded with Yan Guo Gaoyuan, and its intention to fight against Zhao Wang has been very clear. Zhao Mu has tried his best to maintain Zhao Guo's superficial unity. , but with the death of Zhao Zhuo, his efforts were finally destroyed and disappeared.

"Lieutenant, it's time to drink the medicine!" Zhao Yiyang, a soldier, walked in carefully carrying the prepared medicine.

Zhao Mu sat up hugging the thick quilt, reached out to take the medicine bowl, looked at the thick medicine soup, and sighed: "I am finally getting old, and now I have to rely on these medicines to get better. I think about the past, when I was a child, If the illness is minor, just take a punch or run for a while to break a sweat, and the illness will disappear. "

"Lieutenant, you are always getting stronger, but you have been too worried for a while." Zhao once smiled and poured another bowl of warm water and walked to the bedside. "Drink this bowl of medicine and sleep again. Tomorrow, Taiwei will be fine again." The tiger is fierce, this great Zhao cannot live without you."

"In this world, we can live without anyone. Before, Zhao Mu was a powerful country in the world without me, Zhao Mu. In the future, without me, Zhao Mu, we will still look down on everyone!" Zhao Mu chuckled, raised his neck, and drank the medicine. And then he said, "This medicine is much more bitter than yesterday."

Zhao once laughed and said, "It's because Taiwei's illness was more serious yesterday than today, and his feeling is not as sharp as today. This medicine is exactly the same as yesterday's prescription. This is great for Taiwei!"

"I'll lend you a good word!" Zhao Mu laughed and said, "I asked you to go to the county government office to inquire about today's military report. Is there any news from Xiling City?"

"There is no latest news yet. It is still the old news that came two days ago. General Li Mingjun besieged Nanzhang, while General Zhao Qi led the main force to attack Xiling City. The county magistrate also said that there is no news, it is the last Good news, this means everything is going well ahead!”

Zhao Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, "What he said is not wrong. Our army is large and more elite than Daijun, but Zhao Qi's strategy is too risky. If Nanzhang If there is a mistake, the whole army will be dead, that's all, maybe I am getting older and more timid, Zhao Qi is more than ten years younger than me. "

"This battle, hey!" Zhao once took the bowl from Zhao Mu's hand and sighed, "Lieutenant, I heard that the people outside are very dissatisfied. Mr. Zilan is famous all over the world for his virtues!"

After hearing this, Zhao Mu felt a little upset and waved his hand, "You should go down and have a rest too. I want to relax for a while."

Once Zhao knew about the friendship between his Taiwei and Mr. Zilan, when he saw Zhao Mu's appearance, he sighed silently and walked out with the medicine bowl.

Zhao Mu closed his eyes in pain. Loyalty and friendship, he could only choose one in the end. Zilan, you have been like this for decades, why did you change your original intention when you got older? He roared silently in his mind.

There was a sudden snapping sound from outside, the sound of a bowl falling to the ground and breaking. Then Zhao Mu heard Zhao Yici's exclamation. When he heard the name of the person Zhao Yici called out, his heart suddenly lifted up. He actually lifted the quilt and rushed to the door barefoot. When he opened the door, he saw a bloodstained man standing in front of him. The man cried "General!" and knelt down in front of him with a bang.

Zhao Mu felt his eyes go black and his body was about to fall. Zhao Yici rushed up and supported Zhao Mu.

"Go inside and talk, go inside and talk, don't let anyone see!" Zhao Mu whispered. (To be continued!
