Chapter 269: The End of a Hero (Part II)
Che Zuo was not too surprised, when he shot those four arrows, he knew that there might be two results.
One is also a gentleman on the other side, reciprocating the peach, or sympathizing with each other and giving up the pursuit.
The second is that there is a group of villains on the opposite side, and they don't care about his feelings of staying alive and not killing, and continue to pursue.
The people behind him chasing after him are nothing more than one of the two possibilities, both of which are expected by him.
This incident is not surprising, Che Zuo is quite amazed at the fact that Gongzi Chao can still laugh.
The future is uncertain, life and death are unknown, especially when the ambitions of the Gongzi Dynasty are impossible to realize, you can still smile and say that Che Zuo mistook the gentleman, which Che Zuo feels that he is extremely difficult to compare.
It's not that he's afraid of death, it's that he doesn't have the identity and ambition of Gongzichao.
Sometimes death is the easiest to face, and the despair of ambition is the hardest to face, at least more difficult than death.
"Childe's words and deeds are really a mountain collapse and a big river, and his face has not changed."
There is no Mount Tai in Zhao State, and the people of Zhao State rarely talk about Mount Tai, and most of the stories of the land of the Three Jin Dynasty are related to Wangwu Mountain and Taihang Mountain, such as Yugong moving mountains.
And the landslide can be regarded as a major event that happened ten years ago in the Three Jin Dynasty, and Che Zuo used the incident of the collapse of the Yellow River as the meaning of the collapse of Mount Tai in front, which is in line with his Jin identity.
Gongzi Chao withdrew his gaze from behind, and muttered with a wry smile: "You also went to see the big river after the landslide that year, after more than a month, will it still change color?" ”
"I already knew the big things from the time when the Mojia Nanjishui won a great victory, and Zhongshan and Barbarian Chu started a war against Wei. Nanjishui was so neat that the Mo family was invincible in the first battle, and I still have the possibility of success. But that time the Mo family won a big victory, and I knew that I was going to do something bad. ”
"It's been too long, where can I change color?"
Che Zuo thought about it for a while, but it was still difficult to sort out the direct relationship between the First Battle of Nanjishui and the affairs of Zhao Di.
Childe Chao shook his head and said, "They are afraid of your archery skills and don't dare to get too close." It's just that since they dare to chase after them, they must have a countermeasure. Can I wait for four people to defeat thirty with one? ”
The three people he was talking about were Che Zuo and Mi Shou, Che Zuo and himself.
Among them, the right side of the car has the lowest status, and in case of emergency, you still need to get out of the car to repair the carriage, but you can follow him, and you are naturally a good hand.
Che Zuo shook his head and said: "If I fight in the market, it is not difficult for me to fight with one enemy and twenty." But the other party was born in the military, and he was trained by the Mo family, so I can't do it. Unless the four of them work together, cooperate tacitly and have a formation, it may be possible. ”
Childe said to him, "That's no way." ”
Looking back, the pursuers were within two hundred paces, and beyond the range of the bow and arrow, and followed like wolves, for it was easier to carry a man on a horse than to pull a cart on a rough road.
Che left bowed and said, "We really can't kill the pursuers behind. I have heard of the military system of the Mo family, and if they have ink in their army, even if there are three or five people left, as long as there are ink people, they can fight to the death. ”
"But we can't kill them, but if Childe has a place to go, we must fight to the death."
Gongzichao shook his head, stroked his forehead with his hand and said: "Hidden in the mountains and forests, I can only hunt alone, but I don't know how to harvest and fish, so it is difficult to survive." ”
"Elsewhere?"
He had thought about this question when he fled.
"The Tian family has handed over Tian Wu, and Qi Guo can't go."
"Wei Zhen can be a general, but he can't be a monarch, and Wei can't go."
"If you are in the state of Chu, it is useless to go or not. Chu is full of ink ears. ”
"I want to go to Yan Kingdom."
Che Zuo was puzzled: "The son is hidden in the mountains and forests because the son in the mountains and forests is still the son." ”
"The son is not hidden in the market, because if the son in the market can be hidden, then he is not a child."
"Gongzi went to Yan Kingdom, that is to go out as Gongzi Dynasty?"
Childe shook his head and said, "That's not all. The Mo family is in the north, and it is impossible for the Zhao country to go north. ”
"To the east, the affairs of Qidi, the Sishang Mo family must interfere, and Wei Han will not allow the Zhao State to go east."
"The strength of the Zhao State is that there is only one way to choose. Dingzhongshan, knot Qi Qi Yan. ”
"I will go to Yan Kingdom, if Yan Hou dares to accept it, then my brother will have the truth to persecute Yan Kingdom. If you refuse to accept it, I can only hide in the mountains and forests, but if you stay and deal with the pursuers, it will be difficult for me to hide in the mountains and forests, so I will either go out or die. ”
Che Zuo thought of the words of Gongzi's Dynasty before, and said strangely: "Gongzi just said that Qidi is too close to the Mo family in Sishang. If it is a coalition to attack Yan, I am afraid that Sishang will interfere in the name of non-attacking soldiers, how can Qi dare to do so? ”
Gongzi Chao laughed and said, "Didn't you say before that you have a combination of kings and bodies? I just want the monarch of the world to be single-minded for the sake of profit. ”
"After this battle, the Sishang Mo family is already a country of ten thousand times, and it can participate in the disputes of the world without a lord."
"Zhao Qi formed an alliance to attack Yan, and Sishang was involved, Wei Hanchu must be worried that Sishang is strong, and he will definitely start a war against Sishang. At that time, the situation in the world will be Zhao, Wei, Han, Chu, Qi, and Yue, against Sishang Mojia, Western Qin, and Ji Yan. Compared to the current situation, it is much better. ”
"In the battle of Jinyang, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. Zhibo and Han Wei swore an alliance to the Emperor of Heaven, but didn't they betray the alliance for their own interests? This is also the same reason, Wei Zhao can't form an alliance now because of their respective interests; In the future, we can form an alliance like that, or because of profit. ”
Che Zuo seemed to understand, with a look of admiration on his face, and thought about the previous words again, and exclaimed: "Gongzi Yuyan, those nobles who started an incident with Gongzi will not be forgiven by Gongzi Zhang?" ”
Childe smiled and said, "You probably won't believe it." People like me must be like those Mohist books, silverfish, dirty, shameless......"
"I'm different from Tian Wu. Tian Wu wanted to be the Marquis of Qi as one, and if he couldn't succeed, the Marquis of Qi would rather let the Qi State destroy it with him than kill the mortal enemy Tian Yan. ”
"As for me, if I have the opportunity to be Zhao Hou, I will definitely do it, even if it is to cause trouble, win over Wei State, and give heavy bribes. And once it can't be done, I can't be the Marquis of Zhao, then let the Zhao family be strong and the Zhao country in this troubled world. As for personal vendettas? ”
Gongzi laughed loudly, and said after a long time: "Do I have a personal vendetta with my brother?" It's just a struggle for power. I have no personal enmity with him, if I wasn't born in the family of the princess, of course I could sing "Tang Tang". ”
Che Zuo was stunned for a long time, and finally understood the truth.
Tian Wu is not divided between public and private, such a person is not worthy of Qi Hou, but he will never be able to become Qi Huan.
There is no personal enmity between Gongzi Chao and Gongzi Zhang, only power-driven hostility, but there are some words, Gongzi Chao himself can believe it, even if Gongzi Zhang also believes it, he Gongzi Chao must die.
Surrender at this time, go and beg for mercy with Gongzi Zhang?
Thinking of Gongzi's usual actions, Che Zuo said in his heart, if he was just willing to wag his tail and beg for mercy, why should he let the biggest feudal monarch of Zhao State not do it and become a rebel?
It's just that Gongzi's words, how true are they? How much fake?
Perhaps, true.
Perhaps, it is because things are already going to fail, find some reasons for yourself to deceive yourself, and if you want others to believe, you must first believe it......
Che Zuo was very guilty about the dark thoughts of doubting Gongzi Dynasty in his heart, but he still couldn't help but think in his heart: "If it is really for the Zhao family of Zhao State, even if you can't be the Duke of Zhou, you can also follow the example of Wei Zhicheng and Han Zhixia, and it is not impossible to work together for the brothers of a country?" ”
The dark thoughts in my heart are not easy to say, and I feel that I think like this, I am afraid that I am not a gentleman, and I silently said in my heart: "I should save my body, and seek for others and not be loyal?" Making friends and not believing them? ”
Just as he was about to say the dark thoughts in his heart just now, Mite said, "Childe, I can't run anymore, the horse can't stand it." ”
Che Zuo suppressed the thoughts in his heart, held the bow in his left hand, and held the feather arrow between his fingers, and said: "Don't worry, son, those people are not good at archery, if they don't get close, they won't be able to shoot us, and choose a wide place to rest......"
Mite parked the carriage high on a small mound, which was an open place.
But the men behind him also stopped their horses out of range of their bows and arrows, and rested their horses, allowing them to nibble on the grass, and were not in a hurry to rush at them.
The terrain here is open, and if you just stop here, you are sure that there is no courage to come on the other side, and it is impossible to have such an open field in front of you.
Leaving the chariot, even if he was proficient in archery, it was impossible for him to let Gongzi Chao climb mountains and wade through rivers like a commoner.
Not to mention that this is a humiliating identity, that is, entering the mountains, not distinguishing things, how to survive? The four people in this car are all from aristocratic backgrounds, where did they receive education on how to live in the mountains?
Otherwise, when Jin Wengong fled, he would not have gone to beg for food and was thrown by the savages.
The villains in the back are like a group of flies chasing cattle and horses, and they can't be driven away or killed.
I was alert for a long time, and not long after I hit the road again, something happened.
The men were lying in ambush in front, and suddenly a volley came, and then they got on their horses and ran.
It was a long distance, and there was no loss of the people on board, but two of the horses were wounded, and the rest were frightened, and the wheels were broken.
Obviously, this can't run anymore, even if these people are nobles who have been trained in military affairs since childhood, but without a chariot and two legs, how can they fight against those villains who flee like horseflies?
Their muskets were far inferior to the bows and arrows in their own hands, and their thumbs could draw the bow a hundred times without bleeding, while the muskets on the opposite side could only be fired six or seven times in the time they drew their bows a hundred times.
However, they hit and run, and this musket is indeed difficult to hit people, but if they come a few more times, who knows if they will be hit?
Besides, if you don't have a carriage and run wildly, isn't that the same as being chased to death?
Childe Chao seemed to let go, looked at the cracked wheel, and said with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned: "Don't run away." ”
He was on the broken carriage, tidied up his clothes, and there was no mirror around him to correct himself, so he asked the left of the car: "Is the clothes right?" Is the crown positive? Is the sword right? ”
Che left bowed and said, "The gentleman is straight." ”
Childe Chao jumped out of the carriage, stepped forward, and said to the left of the car next to him: "Don't follow first." ”
As he stepped forward, the men on the opposite side immediately became alert, and several of them rode back a few steps, while the rest dismounted and lined up in front, raising their black muskets, motionless.
Gongzi walked to within a few dozen steps and said loudly: "I can't be polite, I can't deceive you by saying this." The four arrows on the left side of my car don't hurt you, but you are still pressing? Your Mohists say that virtue is not eternal, it can be easy at any time, so what is the virtue of your Mohists? ”
He didn't use Yayin, but Zhao with a slight accent, and he believed that the other side could understand it.
A man on the opposite side who looked very young, but who should have been the leader of this group, shouted: "The four arrows on the left side of your car will not hurt our lives, but you nobles are silverfish, taking away the wealth of the people's labor, making most of the people in the world poor, hungry and cold, and the people have three difficulties." You killed millions of people, but you didn't kill four, so you are gentlemen? If this gentleman is so good, you gentlemen, we should not be. ”
Childe was stunned and laughed dumbly.
Yes, the Mo family is on the other side, how can I reason with them?
They have no kings and no fathers, and they are not ashamed, but proud.
They can all say things like "the agreement between the king and the ministers", and I don't know how many people have said that they are rebels and thieves, and how many people have cursed and cursed beasts.
The gentleman still writes like that, but the two sides have completely different interpretations of the meaning of the gentleman, so how can it be made clear?
Gongzi Chao was not angry or laughing, and sighed: "I am the lineage of the father, the son of Wu Gong, and the son of the Zhao family." ”
"I heard that there is a person from your Mo family who captured Yue Bo Peng back then and was able to have a surname. The slut has no name, and if you catch me today, you can also have a surname. ”
He does not call the king of Yue but the uncle of Yue, that is already an honorific title, barbarian as a son, this is the rule, even if the Yue country inherits the sacrifice of Dayu, but after all, there is a genuine card among the three Ke in the Central Plains, and the Yue country is not counted.
Gongzi smiled bitterly and was speechless, he said to Che Zuo before, life should be food, death should be cooking.
For him, the most cowardly way to die, the most insulting way to die, is to be killed by a group of sluts with no surname.
Therefore, now, there is no escape, he doesn't want to die in the hands of this group of sluts with no surname and no name, but wants to be arrested.
At least, if you are caught, you can still be accused of rebellion, and you will be charged with the execution of nobles, and the funeral of nobles will be used after death.
And if you die here, I'm afraid that the future will be a joke, and Gongzi Chao will be killed by a group of sluts!
When he had finished saying this, he found that the people on the other side were looking at their leader, as if there was something indescribable, not surprised, but rather a kind of astonishment when they heard something familiar.
Seeing this, Gongzi Chao was surprised in his heart, and said secretly: "I have heard that there are many scholars and nobles in the Mo family, could it be that the leader of the slut opposite is actually a scholar?" Or is it the aristocracy of Chu Qi and Qi Song? Otherwise, why are those people so weird? ”
After waiting for a long time, the leader of those people on the opposite side suddenly said loudly: "Zhao Dynasty, the era when only nobles have surnames is over. ”
"Our Mo family has made a decision, mortals must have a surname and think that they will not marry with the same surname in the future. Under the Emperor of Heaven, everyone is equal, so he starts with the surname, the people have written, and everyone has drawn lots to get the surname. ”
"If the noble and the low are distinguished only by whether they have a surname or not, then those who stand before you have a surname. I can't say, there is also a surname Zhao! ”
"As for the incident that captured the king of Yue and got his surname, it was not because the surname could make people noble, but as a reward for him to get a surname."
"It's because Shi Shuai wants to tell the world that people are no different from people, and tell the world that Shu people can also capture the king of Chu and the king of Yue, and they can also be a gentleman! Shu people can also be light princes! ”
"There are many light princes, so the surname only has the meaning of not marrying with the same surname. How can virtue be virtuous? Not because marrying with the same surname would make the gods angry, but because marrying with the same surname is easy to give birth to children who cannot be supported. ”
"The people are the gods, because the people know that it is better not to marry with the same surname, so the gods take the same surname not to marry as a virtue. It's not because the gods think that the same surname is not married, so not marrying with the same surname is virtue. ”
Gongzi Chao was stunned there, and he became more and more convinced that the young man opposite must have a surname, otherwise he would not be able to say such a truth, even if there were many literate people in the army of Sishang, but some words really did not seem to be said by a herdsman on behalf of the land.
He didn't believe it.
Even more unwilling.
So he asked aloud, "What's your name?" What about the last name? ”
Without the slightest hesitation, the other side shouted in a playful tone: "You are not going to marry my daughter to me, what is the use of asking me for my surname?" Take off the name, I am the company commander of the first company of the Mojia Gaoliubian Army Infantry Knight; I am my sister's brother; I am the 'wheat cake' in the mouths of my parents, and I am the black wolf in the mouth of the herdsmen in the border fort......"
Childe twitched his cheek, and he heard the man in front of him shouting, "Throw down your sword and come over, you are captured!" ”
