General Qin

The military order Zhao Tuo received was to escort the Wei captives back to their hometowns in exchange for grain, and then escort the grain and the Wei men who were about to become slaves to Daliang for delivery.

Previously, they walked safely all the way from Xingyang to Hutan Township, hundreds of miles away, because these young and strong Wei people knew that they were going to be escorted back to their hometown, so they were very obedient. But now, they clearly knew that after they were taken to Daliang, they would become slaves of the Qin people.

In this way, it is inevitable to look for opportunities to escape on the road.

There will always be someone who will fight with his life to live a free life.

In this regard, Zhao Tuo showed no mercy, and cut off the heads of five escapees in a row.

When the bloody human head was stuck on the tip of the spear and displayed in front of those Wei people, the Wei people finally lowered their heads and accepted their fate, and no longer wanted to escape.

Compassion does not command soldiers.

This is what Zhao Tuo learned in the process of leading the army. Kill as soon as possible, whether it is for subordinates or prisoners, everything is based on the completion of the task. Excessive kindness will only breed chaos.

After solving the problem of Wei people's escape, the next thing Zhao Tuo faced was the route problem.

There are two roads from Humai Township to Daliang. One is to go south to Waihuang to spend the night, then go west from Waihuang, arrive at Chenliu one day later, and then go to Daliang from Chenliu.

The advantage of this road is that you can go to Waihuang to meet Yang Xiong and Zhao Ben, and because it is a traffic road, it is under the heavy control of the Qin army along the way. There are 700 Qin troops in Waihuang City, and Chen Liu even has Huan. Zhao's large army is here.

But the disadvantages are also obvious.

So Zhao Tuo chose the second road after a little thought. He went directly from Hutan Township to the west, followed the road leading to Xingyang, and then went south from a fork in the middle of the road, went to Xiaohuang to spend the night, and walked for dozens of miles. Arrived in Daliang City.

The carriages were rolling, and the convoy was pulling out on the westbound road. Zhao Tuo looked back at Humai Township, feeling a little regretful in his heart.

He did not get the allegiance of Chen Ping.

One of the reasons was that he came late. Chen Ping had already become the son-in-law of the Zhang family, and he had no worries about living expenses. He was accompanied by his lovely wife at home, and he had quite a status in Huzhou Township. Under such conditions, normal people would not choose to leave their hometown and follow Zhao Tuo.

Before approaching the Zhang family, Chen Ping's family was poor, and was even called a "sister-in-law thief" by the villagers, so he was in a very difficult situation.

If Zhao Tuo could come at that time and help Chen Ping get out of the predicament, it is very likely that he will return to his heart.

The icing on the cake is always better than giving charcoal in the snow.

Although there was Zhao Tuo's pleading for the captives later, but he did not do it perfectly, and finally turned into exchanging people for food. Chen Ping's gratitude to him was limited.

Of course, Zhao Tuo feels that the biggest reason is that he is too young and his status is not enough.

If he was a real general and held a high position, he would be able to open the palace openly and openly, and Chen Ping would not refuse an invitation from an official position in the shogunate.

Now Zhao Tuo is only a lord of five hundred people. Although he is temporarily in charge of a thousand-man army, his authority is too low to give anything attractive.

Just like Li Shi (Yì) Qi (jī) at the beginning, although Zhao Tuo persuaded him to come out of the mountain, after Xiao Huang made a contribution, because there was no other place to use him in the battle of Wai Huang, Li Shiqi borrowed it. He went back to Chen Liu under the pretext of taking care of his younger brother.

The reason was that Zhao Tuo was unable to provide the opponent with a stage to display his talents. If Zhao Tuo was the leader of the army and could assign Li Shiqi to the corresponding city to make contributions at will, the opponent would definitely not be able to leave.

"Whatever, anyway, the military officials are transferred, and they can't take away the original subordinates. Even if Chen Ping and Li Shiqi are now under the command, once I am transferred, they still can't go with me. Wait for them to grow up for a while Right. At least this time, I must have left a deep impression in their hearts, and there may not be no chance of getting it in the future."

Zhao Tuo explained himself in his heart, and at the same time he said longingly: "The Battle of Xingyang has won a lot, and Wei Bao was also captured. Such a credit will definitely allow me to be promoted to the fifth doctor. This time I will escort the grain to Daliang, where I should be Can you award the title to me?"

"Fifth Doctor, the old Mengyu is only the title of Fifth Doctor."

Just when Zhao Tuo was thinking to himself, Hei Hip rode over and yelled at Zhao Tuo: "Public, there are a group of Wei people in front, and those inside look like light knights, should we send someone to arrest them and ask?" ask?"

Hearing this, Zhao Tuo narrowed his eyes and looked at a group of common people from Wei who were walking on the side of the road.

There are about forty or fifty people, some of them are Wei family with their families, including women, children, old and weak.

In addition, there are more than a dozen young men in commoner clothes, with swords on their waists. Judging from their behavior, they should be the Qingxia of Weidi. Zhao Tuo noticed that among those light knights, there was a man wearing a Confucian crown, who was actually a Confucian scholar.

Seeing a large number of Qin troops approaching on the road, the Confucian scholar and Qing Xia reacted the fastest and went straight to the nearby woods. Some of the remaining Wei people followed into the woods, and some were so frightened when they saw the Qin army approaching that they couldn't run and lay on the side of the road trembling.

"Should want to migrate to other places."

Zhao Tuo's heart skipped a beat.

The main force of the Qin Army gathered outside Daliang City, and the rest of the partial divisions were mainly shrunk in important cities such as Chenliu. In the vast rural areas of the Wei State, the Qin army generally only stationed about 50 people in townships, and Zhao Tuo only left about 100 people in important places like Humen Township.

In this way, the number of Liju villages densely scattered around the towns and cities cannot be controlled by the number of people left by the Qin army, so the Wei people can still move around and migrate from one place to another.

For this situation, the Qin army will not spend energy to manage it, nor does it have the strength and necessity to manage it.

The purpose of the Qin army is to destroy Wei, and it only needs to occupy important cities to ensure smooth traffic. After the fall of Daliang and the destruction of the state of Wei, Qin officials were sent from the country to slowly clean up all parts of the state of Wei.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Tuo naturally would not send anyone to hunt them down. He said: "We have military orders, and the most urgent task is to escort the food and the two hundred Wei people to Daliang. Make trouble, don't worry about it."

"oh."

Heizhi responded, and muttered, "I see a Confucian scholar carrying a bag inside, and it looks round and round like something good. But now everyone has run away and disappeared, or else I'll let him open it and have a look."

In the jungle.

Chen Yu huddled in a clump of tall grass, staring red-eyed at the troops of the Qin Army on the road.

A Qingxia approached and said in a low voice: "Chen Jun, I think these Qin troops should be escorting the army rations to Daliang. The carts they drove were all piled up with rations."

"These Qin people are really barbaric. Apart from food, I think their army has remanded hundreds of farmers from our Wei country. Those people should be captured by them as slaves. Chen Jun, since we have met, How about attacking them at night today and setting fire to the food of the Qin people. If there is some trouble, maybe the two hundred people can take the opportunity to escape."

A light knight offers a clever plan.

A few people around echoed in low voices: "Brother Wang is a good plan. We only took Zhang Jun's head in Xiaohuang before, and we didn't have a chance to kill a few Qin people to avenge Zhang Jun. Now that we have met, why not find an opportunity to burn him If you can take advantage of the chaos and kill a few Qin people, it will be considered revenge."

Hearing this, Chen Yu turned his eyes away, and he first looked at the bulging baggage in his arms. Then he raised his head and said with a sneer, "One or two thousand shi of grain, plus a few Qin people, how can it be regarded as revenge for my brother?"

"Chen Jun?" Everyone looked over.

Chen Yuhen said: "At the time of death, we swear to live and die together. Zhang Er and I made an oath, wishing to live and die together. He was killed by the Qin general who broke through Waihuang, so I naturally want to seek revenge. These Qin soldiers , there are thousands of people, your plan will never succeed, and you will be in danger of being overwhelmed. Why bother to provoke me for nothing, and delay my plan for revenge."

A Qingxia said: "What Chen Jun said is that he wants to go to Waihuang and kill that Qin general?"

Chen Yu shook his head, looked at the burden in his arms, and said softly: "No, I want to send my brother to Onozawa first to reunite with his wife and children. Otherwise, if we die here, then my brother will never see his wife and children again." The day I see you. And before my brother sent a letter, asking me to go to Onozawa to take care of my sister-in-law and nephew. If I don’t go to meet, I’m sorry for my brother’s entrustment.”

That Qingxia frowned and said: "Since that's the case, when will we go to Waihuang to take revenge?"

Chen Yu snorted coldly: "I'm not going to Waihuang, I'm going to Chu State."

"Chu country?" Everyone was stunned.

Chen Yu said in a cold voice: "Revenge for killing people is nothing but small things. If I want to do it, I, Chen Yu, will do big things!"

"At the beginning of the year, the State of Chu sent envoys to the King of Qin to offer the land west of Qingyang in order to seek a peace treaty. But until today, the delivery has not been completed. I heard that the Qu family lords in Qingyang did not want to give up their fiefs. The State of Chu Internally, there is still war and peace. I want to go to Chu State and persuade the people of the Qu family to kill the envoy of Qin, so that Chu State and Qin State will turn against each other!"

"Chu, a great country! Even though it is broken by Qin's numbers, its strength still exists. If I can make Qin Chu go to war, I will surely kill and injure Qin's army in large numbers, and I will bury my brother with the blood of countless Qin people!"

"The enemy who killed my brother is not the Qin general in the outer yellow area, but the brutal Qin State! I, Chen Yu, will definitely fight against Qin State in my lifetime, and try my best to destroy this Qin State!"

Chen Yu spoke so loudly that the surrounding Qingxia were stunned.

Revenge is not just about killing a Qin general.

Instead, he provoked a war, killed countless Qin troops, and spent his entire life against Qin.

pattern.

This is the gap between Chen Yu and these light heroes.

After all the Qingxia reacted, they all bowed to Chen Yu.

"Chen Jun's ambition is far beyond what we can match. We are willing to die for Chen Jun and conquer Qin together!"

Chen Yu nodded, but he didn't look at these kneeling knights, but looked at Qin Jun who was walking slowly on the road through the dense forest leaves.

Especially in a chariot in the Qin army, there is a Qin general standing on the chariot with his head held high.

Chen Yu frowned slightly.

General Qin is really young.
