Chapter 500: Living and Dying Together (4 more monthly passes)
At this time, the Empress Dowager's eyes suddenly opened, as if she had made a decision.
She said calmly: "Chen Kaizhi is right, everything is according to Chen Kaizhi's arrangement, the rebel must be Liu Zheng's eldest son Liu Bi, Liu Bi is also a rare good general, this person is never a willful person, since he is finally dissatisfied and chose to take risks, then there must be a complete strategy in advance, this person, not to be underestimated, the tiger calf born by the tiger, once you want to eat people, it will not be so simple, if we escape, we can't escape, the mourning family is a woman, and you ...... But they are all men, how can men think of running away when something happens? Then face it with your chest up! ”
Speaking of this, she looked at Chen Kaizhi seriously: "Chen Kaizhi, the mourning family has handed over everything to you, you go to fight to the death in front, the mourning family can't help you anything, the only thing to do is to live and die with you, go, don't have any doubts." ”
Chen Kaizhi glanced at the Empress Dowager deeply, and no longer hesitated: "The minister respectfully obeys Yi's order." ”
Chen Zhenjing was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, Erchen thinks it's ......"
The Empress Dowager looked at him with a cold face and said: "Don't always think, you think, you usually want to sell well in Beijing, and you want people all over the world to be grateful to you and be your virtuous king, you also know Liu Zheng and Liu Bi, right, but what you think about is how to make them grateful to you, how to let them know how virtuous you are as King Zhao, what is the difference between what you know and not knowing anything about their father and son?" You don't know anything, but the mourning family knows better than you, the mourning family knows the grievances between their father and son, and they also know their advantages and disadvantages, since Liu Bi has laid out, he will never give you a chance to escape, since he dares to rebel, he must have been planning painstakingly for many years, he has been waiting for this opportunity for too long, how can he let you escape? ”
Chen Zhenjing was stunned, unable to answer for a while.
I only heard the Empress Dowager continue calmly: "If you can't escape, then face it, although even so, the hope of victory is very small, but we are all nobles, and everyone in the world is looking at us, the royal people, usually pampered, but when something happens, although you don't want to mourn the family and how you kill the enemy, but at least you have to stand, stand firm, and stand well, so as not to shame the heavenly family, you can't suffer this humiliation, otherwise how to be worthy of the ancestors and ancestors, and how to make the people of the world respectful?" ”
Under the instructions of the Empress Dowager, although Chen Zhenjing was panicked, he only got up and responded busily, and did not dare to refute it at all.
Chen Kaizhi no longer hesitated, since the Empress Dowager said that everything is under his command now, he is not welcome, not to mention that for him, now, it is not so much to protect the Empress Dowager and the King of Zhao, it is better to say that Chen Kaizhi is trying to survive!
He knew very well that the Jincheng Army's target was the Empress Dowager, and they would not let go of those who escorted the Empress Dowager.
As far as he is concerned, since he brought the Warrior Camp here, it is his responsibility to bring the Warrior Camp back safe and sound.
Under the command of Chen Kaizhi, the team hurried to two or three miles, here as Chen Kaizhi said, by the mountains and rivers, so Chen Kaizhi ordered the Empress Dowager's car to drive to the water camp, and the warrior battalion began to prepare on the periphery, at this time there were no tools, could not dig trenches, let alone cut down trees to set up triphorses, Chen Kaizhi had a cold face, gathered the soldiers of the warrior battalion, let them sit directly on the ground, rest on the spot, and began to eat.
At this time, Xu Jie hurried over with a scolding and said: "Captain, the guards of King Zhao are not things, they refuse to come here to fight, saying that they want to protect the Empress Dowager, and they also followed the palace and eunuchs to the Empress Dowager's car, saying that it was the order of His Royal Highness King Zhao." ”
Chen Kaizhi glanced back at the rear, and sure enough, he saw that the guards who were in the first armor were hiding far away and refused to go ahead.
Chen Kaizhi came back to his senses sarcastically, and when he saw that many people showed resentment, he seemed very calm, and said lightly: "Isn't it strange? Don't complain, the big war is coming, you need to understand one thing, we are here desperate, not to protect others, to protect ourselves, the blood we shed, not to add color to others, but for ourselves, everyone listens to the order, eat immediately, wait a while, kill the enemy with me, others will not retreat, it is someone else's business, others hide, it is also someone else's business, you remember, I will not retreat, I am with you! ”
In times of crisis, while protecting others, you are also saving yourself.
Everyone understood this truth, and immediately cheered up again, and said one by one: "Obey." ”
Su Chang on the side saw it in his eyes, but he sighed in his heart, these soldiers of the warrior battalion were unruly in the past, they were not afraid of heaven and earth, and they were convinced of this Chen Kaizhi alone, and today they have such an encounter, but in their hearts, they are more or less contemptuous of those princes, and the warrior battalion, after more than eight months of eating and sleeping together, has long been of one heart and one mind, and there is no prince and prince in their hearts, and now, there is only one captain Chen in their hearts.
Everyone sat quietly cross-legged, and then began to set up one bonfire after another, boiling water in the pot, and then took out the jerky, in addition, there were some rice brought from Michi County, which was also thrown into the pot and boiled into gruel, and everyone had an iron box on their body, and everyone scooped porridge and ate it with the jerky, and ate it to their heart's content.
Without any orders, everyone began to inspect the firearms in their hands, as well as the gunpowder and projectiles, and everything was ready, and at this moment, the rangers finally began to appear.
Everything was as Chen Kaizhi guessed, the other party came quickly, and they didn't give them time to escape at all, these rangers were obviously just scouts for the forwards, there were not many of them, in groups of three or five, after discovering the Empress Dowager's car, they didn't step forward, but were on guard from afar, like flies, lingering.
Chen Kaizhi looked at these cavalrymen, they were all skilled in equestrianism, and they were obviously elite soldiers and horses.
He couldn't help but think in his heart, since it was the military horse of Jincheng, then the attacker must have selected elite soldiers, after all, there can't be too many people and horses crossing the river, otherwise it will inevitably cause alarm. On the other hand, they must not have carried much rations, and in order to prevent the support of the officers and troops at Hangu Pass, they must have adopted a quick approach.
It is even more impossible for them to bring horses to cross the river, so their horses must have been obtained from attacking the cavalry of the front team, which had three or four hundred cavalry, and the war horses they could capture were probably only more than two hundred, so that the enemy they had to face should be three hundred cavalry, and more than a thousand foot soldiers.
But even so, Chen Kaizhi still felt that it was enough, Chen Kaizhi dared to put himself in danger, but also because he knew that the other party must be fighting quickly, and the terrain here, because it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, is not open, and he is not worried about the other party's roundabout, and it also puts an end to the possibility of the other party's mighty rush.
Therefore...... It's a narrow road.
When the brave meet on a narrow road, the brave wins, and the opponent's soldiers and horses can't be used, even if there are more, it is useless.
Right now...... It's time to put the Warrior Camp to the test!
He took a deep breath and stopped thinking about it, the other party's team had not arrived, and the only thing he could do at the moment was to wait quietly.
After some time, more and more military horses arrived here, and a general in his prime, wearing bright light armor, came in the crowd of pro-troops.
He is Liu Bi.
Liu Bi is in his thirties, his body is like an iron tower, his appearance is mediocre, many people think that he is not born like his once handsome and dashing father, but on his face, the most prominent thing is his hooked nose, under this big nose, the other facial features are not very prominent.
Wherever he passed, all the soldiers consciously turned sideways and looked at him with reverence.
In the past ten years, he has been in the Jincheng Army, starting from a small scout, the eldest son of the dignified envoy, eating and sleeping with all the soldiers in the army, even cleaning up horse manure, eating dry food that tastes the same as chewing wax, he never gives in, on the contrary, he does better than anyone else, since his brother was born, one by one, he is full of fleas, and his complexion is tanned.
Because he knows very well that his father doesn't have much emotion for himself, he has always endured it, and he just wants to prove one thing, to prove that the tiger father has no dogs, is to tell his father that the Jincheng army is in his own hands, which can bring glory to the family.
But after all, he still thought wrong, he was wrong, no matter how good he did, he couldn't match his brother's naughty crying and laughing, but he was unwilling......
Others are unwilling, whether it is a dragon or a tiger, you have to lie on your stomach, and Liu Bi is unwilling, he dares to rebel and kill.
He squinted his eyes and stood on his horse, now, he is only a few miles away from the Empress Dowager and the King of Zhao, and if he takes these two people, he will have a guarantee, then he is the justifiable envoy of Jincheng Festival.
No, he is no longer just the envoy of the Jincheng Festival, but the king of Jin!
He looked at it from afar, muttered for a long time, and suddenly said to human: "Who else is in their army?" ”
A military general beside him was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, I have already found out, in addition to the Empress Dowager, it is King Zhao, as well as several concubines and Princess Ning'an." ”
Liu Bi smiled, shook his head and said, "I'm not talking about them, but the person who led them here, this person...... It's not easy! It seems that they have no way to escape, so they will choose to camp here, this is to fight us to the death, this person, it is very interesting, obviously, he made the most advantageous choice, if they want to escape, it doesn't take much effort, this king only needs to ride, you can intercept and kill them all the way. ”
