Chapter Ninety-Six: Empress of Western Qin

In Fufeng City, Xue Ju's camp was full of mourning. Today there was a lost battle, and a lot of people died. The demoralization was terrifying, especially the three thousand iron armors that Xue Ju relied on to become famous, and now there were less than half of them left. Even Xue Ju himself was injured a lot.

"Wine ......!" Xue Ju sat on the couch, the armor on his body had been removed, revealing a body of dark and strong muscles. Seven or eight heavy wounds on the body, if there is no protection from fine armor. Maybe he has already died in front of the two armies!

On his shoulder was a feathered arrow, and this one was not a crossbow but a bow. The power of a bow and arrow is greater than that of a crossbow arrow, which only an archer can do. Unexpectedly, Li Tang's army also has characters like the Condor Archer.

The shaft of the feathered arrow has been severed, otherwise the armor would not have been able to come off. The military doctor carefully examined Xue Ju's wound and said with some concern: "The other injuries on the king's body are nothing, but the injury on this shoulder is very serious. If you don't get it right, your entire arm will be ruined. ”

"Humph! If this arm is scrapped, cut off both of your arms and pay it to a certain family. If you treat it with your heart, your arm is an arm, and if you cut it off, you can't grow it. Xue Ju took the liquor handed over by the guards and poured it into his mouth in one gulp. The scabbed wound was red, and soon a trace of blood oozed out.

The military doctor swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and cold sweat was dripping on his head. The hand holding the pliers trembled a little: "The king bear with it!" The military doctor handed Xue a wooden stick.

Xue raised a handful of the wooden stick and slapped it away, glared at it and said, "A certain family doesn't need this thing, even if it is an arrow." ”

The feathered arrows of the majestic sea have domineering barbs, and the military doctor can't help it. You can only use the knife to open it a little more beside it, and then pinch the shaft of the arrow with pliers. As soon as he pulled it out, a stream of black blood spurted out. The military doctor hurriedly plugged the wound with plant ash, and the red blood soon soaked the plant ash and covered the wound.

"Your wounds, Your Majesty, should be fine. As long as a few pairs of herbs are applied, you can be safe and sound. The military doctor saluted Xue Ju and quickly wrote the prescription on the paper.

Before the ink dried, the prescription was taken away by the guards.

Xue Ju waved his hand indifferently: "Lao Tzu's injury is healed, and you are satisfied with the custody of the money." If there is a bad pool, just wait for the whole family to accompany the funeral of a certain family. ”

"The villain is 100% sure that you will be healed in 10 days. It's just that if you go into battle to kill the enemy, you still need to wait for a while. The military doctor said very confidently.

"Good, reward!" Xue Ju heroically poured another big sip of wine, and today's battle made him very depressed. I didn't expect the cavalry to rush into battle after repeated attempts, but today it didn't work. It seems that you need to think of a different way to deal with Li Er.

The military doctor quit Xue Ju, took his son who had helped him, and returned to his residence with the reward. His face turned gray all of a sudden, and he pulled his son who had been captured with him. "Hurry up and pack your things, let's leave Fufeng City overnight tonight. No matter how late it is, you won't be able to leave! ”

"Daddy, didn't you say that the king's injury is nothing? Why should we run away? The son asked a little strangely.

"Silly boy, if your arms are useless, you will have to cut off your father's two arms. The king's life is gone, and you don't want the lives of our grandfathers? I heard that the king's wife was the most powerful, and there were servants who were whipped and rolled on the ground. The lady looked upset, so she had the servant's legs buried in the earth and whipped.

Mr. Yu Xin's son, Geng Li, was dismembered by Major General Xue Rengao on the fire, and then cut off the meat little by little for the sergeants to eat. When conquering Qinzhou, hang those rich people upside down. Pour vinegar into people's noses, do you know how many people have died like this?

Our grandfather and son fell into the hands of this tiger and wolf-like person, and it was a luxury to want to die. Tonight is the last chance, if you can't get rid of this medicine, swallow it. It is much better to be poisoned by your own medicine than to be tortured and killed alive. The military doctor handed his son a medicine bag, and when he saw that his son was trembling and did not dare to take it, he forced it into his son's hand.

I also prepared a pack of such medicine, and he couldn't care if his son had the courage to eat it. The severity of the matter has been explained to him, and the rest is God's fate.

"Daddy! Are you saying that the king's injuries are not healed? The son's voice changed tone, and when he thought of Xue Rengao and his mother's cruelty, he swayed all over his body.

"Okay? Hum! Da Luo Jin Immortal can't help him! The military doctor snorted coldly and said, "That arrow is fishy and smelly, it must have some poison on it." When the arrow was pulled out, the blood was black, which showed that the poison had entered the blood. Rao is the king's health is good, and he will definitely have a fever tomorrow morning.

As long as a person burns up, even if he loses half a life. For the remaining half, I have to ask God if I will accept him. God doesn't accept it, let's not count what the two of us said. Now the only way to survive is to escape as soon as possible and defect to the Tang Army. It's okay to be incognito, just don't let them catch it again. Fortunately, I was rewarded with some silver money today, which was just used to count the soldiers at the door. Remember, if you can't leave, you must eat poison. The old man doesn't want you to be tortured to death! "The military doctor, as a father, gave his son the last piece of advice.

****************************************************************************************************************************

After winning the battle today, Li Er was in a good mood. The last defeat pressed on Li Er's chest like a boulder. Now that the boulder has been removed, the panting is a little more comfortable than usual. Now that Xue Ju's vitality is greatly injured, it is a good time to take advantage of your illness to kill you. After resting for two days, the day after tomorrow will send troops to help the county seat. Li Er was ruthless this time, and he must drive Xue Ju into the desert to eat sand.

When I was in a good mood, I drank two more glasses. After two more drinks, I slept a little longer. At three o'clock in the morning, the commander-in-chief of the whole army was still asleep.

"Your Highness, wake up! Your Highness, wake up! "I was dreaming of fighting in all directions, and suddenly the mountains shook.

"Mowgli, what are you doing?" Li Er didn't open his eyes, so he yelled. In the Manchu military camp, only the eldest grandson Wuji dared to do this. Although Yun Hao was a little naughty, he wouldn't do it. It's okay to swatt flies on the tiger's head, and this kind of suicide killed Yun Hao.

"Good news, Your Highness. This morning, two medical officers who escaped from Fufeng City were caught. They said that Xue Ju was hit by an arrow and was afraid that he would not live for a few days. Eldest Sun Wuji's words were filled with excitement. The culprit is huge! What good news that he is likely to die of his injuries. Just yesterday, Li Er regretted that he didn't kill Xue Ju.

"What?" Li Er suddenly got up from the bed, almost knocking the eldest grandson Wuji all over the face.

"The medical officer is outside, and His Highness can come for arraignment. As far as I can see, it doesn't look like a fake. ”

"It's definitely not fake, have you forgotten that Yun Hao made people soak all the arrows in the dung water? It must be the infection he said, Xue Ju, Xue Ju, I didn't expect you to die like this. Decree the ministries not to rest. Immediately open and surround Fufeng City. Lone wants to be in Fufeng City, and completely annihilate Xue Ju's department. ”

"No!" The eldest grandson Wuji sang and left, and soon the sound of trumpets sounded in the barracks.

****************************************************************************************************************************

Xue Rengao looked at his father, who was already unconscious on the bed. The teeth are gritted "clucking" and "clucking", it is too despicable to smear poison on the arrows. News came from the wounded barracks, not only did Xue Ju have a high fever. Even many of the wounded soldiers had developed high fevers, and those half-hung medics had no choice but to throw them there and leave them to fend for themselves.

The soldiers can fend for themselves, but their own fathers can only live and not die. There was already a long list of heads hanging on the flagpole, all of which were the heads of those half-hung military doctors. Now in Manfufeng City, not a single medical officer can be found.

"I ordered to go down and look for the medical officer who treated my father the day before yesterday. To live, must live. I'm going to eat these two bastards raw! Xue Rengao ordered his subordinates with red eyes, he was not joking, as long as people were found, he would really eat them alive.

"No!" There were guards who ordered him to leave.

"Wait! If you can't find it, tell them they don't have to come back. The guard walked to the door, and Xue Rengao added.

"No!"

"His Royal Highness King Qi! Now is not the time to catch the murderer, Li Shimin's army has reached twenty miles outside the city. There is little food in Fufeng City, and we can't hold it like this. Please also ask His Highness to withdraw from Fufeng immediately with his men and horses, so that Qingshan will not worry about running out of firewood! If we lose land and save people, we can regain what we lost in the future. Seeing Xue Ju's condition, the strategist Hao Ying said helplessly in the back. (After Xue Ju became emperor, he named Xue Rengao as the king of Qi.) )

"Hao Ying, how can Daddy be in a hurry like this. I'm afraid that before he retreated to Qinzhou, Daddy had already been tossed to death. Xue Rengao glanced at Hao Ying angrily, if it weren't for his father's mastermind, he would have been roasted and eaten on the fire.

"His Royal Highness King Qi! The soldiers we can fight are all cavalry, and if we abandon the city at this time, we are eighty percent sure that we can get out. If we are trapped in the city, I am afraid that none of us will be able to leave by then. The society of Western Qin is in danger from now on! ”

"Old puppet, my father is not dead yet, so you say such frustrating words. The cavalry can evacuate quickly and quickly on horseback, but what about the foot soldiers? These are the capitals that went to Western Qin to dominate, and how could they defend Qinzhou without them. Without Qinzhou, do we have to retreat to the wild land of the Qiang people?

Someone, pull this old horseman with the heart of the cholera army down and behead me for public display. Whoever dares to retreat again will be killed! I want to see how many heads Li Shimin has grown, which can shake my Western Qin warriors. ”

Xue Rengao has infinite strength, is good at riding and shooting, and is known as the enemy of 10,000 people in the army. Under his command, there are 2,000 elite foot soldiers. They are all first-class good players, even against Li Er's Tang Army, Xue Rengao is not afraid.

"No!" Xue Rengao gave an order, and immediately guards surrounded him. cut Hao Ying's arms upside down, and he was about to be escorted out.

"Stop!" A woman suddenly came out from behind the curtain, it was Xue Ju's wife who was named the Ju family of the Empress of Western Qin. Now the only person who can make Xue Rengao awe-inspiring is the Ju family.

The Ju clan is a big clan of Longyou, and Xue Ju's claim to be the emperor is also the result of the strong support of the Ju clan behind him. In this Fufeng City, there are many Ju family soldiers. What they obeyed was naturally the order of the Empress Ju.

"Mother, this man has cholera in my army's heart. He wanted his son to evacuate Fufeng City and throw all the foot soldiers in the city to the Tang people. As soon as we leave, these foot soldiers will definitely surrender to Li Tang. Without these soldiers, if Li Tang's army pursues Qinzhou, how can we defend Qinzhou. Besides, my father's body couldn't support it. Retreat in a hurry, and my father will die. ”

"Your father will die sooner or later, just sooner or later. But if you don't leave, we'll all die in this Fufeng City. Ju's words made Xue Rengao stunned, and now there is only one person in Fufeng City who dares to speak like this.

"Mother......! You......! Xue Rengao looked at the old lady in disbelief, not knowing what to say.

"Kid, you haven't seen it yet. Your father was poisoned, and even the medical officer was scared away. It turns out that this poison is a poison without a solution, so it is only a matter of time before your father does. For now, it is better to withdraw from Fufeng City as soon as possible. You can walk as much as you can, otherwise there won't even be a single person guarding Qinzhou. ”

"But without soldiers, Qinzhou can't hold it!"

"Qinzhou can't hold it, let's go back to Jincheng. Jincheng can't hold it anymore, so let's go to the territory of the Qiang people. If Li Shimin dares to chase, we will dare to go. Now that the Central Plains War is in full swing, I don't believe that the Li family dares to keep their army away from Guanzhong. As long as the Li family's army goes to the Central Plains to grab territory, we can make a comeback. What Qinzhou Fufeng, it will still be ours when the time comes.

Hao Ming's sentence is lost in land, and people and land are lost; It is good to save people and lose land, and people and places are saved. As long as we still have a strong cavalry in our hands, we will be kings wherever we go. ”

Hao Ying stood at the door, and couldn't help but look at Ju with admiration. I didn't expect this woman to be so bold. The situation in the world is analyzed so clearly and thoroughly. I only knew that this was a mean woman before, but I didn't expect it to be so material.

"But mother, the limited number of war horses in the city is probably not enough to let our people go out of the city."

"There are only a limited number of horses, so all the horses will be requisitioned. If you have to give up, my Ju clan is willing to defend the wind and be the queen of the army. ”

These words shocked everyone even more, but they didn't expect the queen to really go out and let her people stay behind as the queen of the army.

"Order the withdrawal!" Jin Zi didn't speak, and Ju personally gave the order.
