Chapter 500: Live and Die Together (Monthly Pass)
At this moment, the Empress Dowager's eyes suddenly opened, as if she had made a decision.
She said calmly: "Chen Kaizhi is right. Everything should be done according to Chen Kaizhi's arrangement. The one who rebels must be Liu Zheng's eldest son Liu Bi. Liu Bi is a rare general. This person has never been a willful person. Since he is finally dissatisfied and chose to take risks, he must have a complete plan in advance. This person should not be underestimated. Once a tiger born to a tiger is to eat people, it will not be so simple. If we escape, we cannot escape. The Ai family is a woman, but you... are all men. When a man encounters something, how can he think of escaping? Then face it with his chest!"
Speaking of this, she looked at Chen Kaizhi seriously and said, "Chen Kaizhi, the Ai family has given you everything. If you fight to the death in front of you, the Ai family will not help you. The only thing you can do is live and die with you. Go, there is no need to have any doubts."
Chen Kaizhi glanced at the Empress Dowager deeply and no longer hesitated: "I am obeying the imperial edict."
Chen Zhijing was anxious and said hurriedly: "Mother, my son thinks..."
The Empress Dowager looked at him with a cold face and said, "Don't always think, you think, you always think that you are always thinking of selling well in Beijing. You want everyone in the world to be grateful to you, and to be your wise king. You also know Liu Zheng and Liu Bi, right? But what you think is how to make them grateful to you, how to let them know how wise you, King Zhao, are. What is the difference between what you know and what you know about their father and son? You know nothing, but the Ai family knows more than you. The Ai family knows the grievances between their father and son, and their advantages and disadvantages. Since Liu Bi is planning, he will never give you a chance to escape. Since he dares to rebel, he must have been planning for many years. He has been waiting for this day for too long, so how could he let you escape?"
Chen Zhijing was stunned and could not answer for a moment.
The Empress Dowager continued calmly: "If you can't escape, then face it. Even so, the hope of victory is very small. But we are all nobles in heaven and the people in the world are watching us. The royal family is usually pampered and live a favorable life, but when something happens, even if you don't want the Ai family and you to kill the enemy, at least you have to stand up and stand firmly, and you must stand up well. You will never let the Tian family be ashamed and cannot bear this humiliation. Otherwise, how can you be worthy of your ancestors and ancestors, and how can you make the people in the world respect you?"
Under the instructions of the Empress Dowager, although Chen Zhijing was panicked, he became timid and responded quickly, and did not dare to refute another sentence.
Chen Kaizhi no longer hesitated. Since the Empress Dowager said that everything is following his command now, he would not be polite. Moreover, for him, now, it is better to say that Chen Kaizhi is seeking survival rather than protecting the Empress Dowager and the King of Zhao!
He knew very well that the target of the Jincheng Army was the Taihuang Empress, and they would not let them go to escort the Taihuang Empress.
For him, since he brought the Warriors Battalion, he had the responsibility to bring the Warriors Battalion back safely.
Under Chen Kaizhi's command, the team hurried to two or three miles. As Chen Kaizhi said, it was surrounded by mountains and rivers. So Chen Kaizhi ordered the Empress Dowager's car to camp in the water, and the Warriors' Camp began to prepare on the periphery. At this time, there were no tools, so they could not dig trenches, and they could not log and set up tripping horses. Chen Kaizhi had a cold face and gathered the soldiers of the Warriors' Camp, allowing them to sit on the ground, rest on the spot, and start eating.
However, at this time, Xu Jie rushed over and said, "Captain, the guards of King Zhao are not things. They refused to come here to fight. They said they wanted to protect the Empress Dowager. They also followed the palace maids and the eunuchs to the Empress Dowager's stewards, saying that it was the order of His Highness Zhao."
Chen Kaizhi looked back and looked behind him. Sure enough, he saw the guards with the flag armor that were hiding far away and refused to come forward.
Chen Kaizhi came back to his senses sarcastically. Seeing many people showing resentment, he seemed very calm and said lightly: "Is it strange? Don't complain, the war is imminent. You need to understand one thing. We are here to be reckless, not to protect others, but to protect ourselves. The blood we shed is not to add to others, but to ourselves. Everyone obeys the orders and eats immediately. Later, killing the enemy with me. Whether others retreats or not is the business of others. When others hide, it is also the business of others. Remember, I will not retreat, I will be with you!"
In times of crisis, protecting others while saving yourself.
Everyone understood this truth and immediately cheered up again and said one by one: "Abide by the order."
However, Su Chang, who was standing aside, sighed in his heart. These soldiers of the Warrior Camp were rebellious in the past, fearless and fearless. They were convinced that Chen Kaizhi had such an experience today. I am afraid that in their hearts, they would even more despise the kings and princes. After more than eight months of eating and sleeping together, they had already been united in hearts and virtues. There were no kings, princes and ministers in their hearts, and now they only had one more lieutenant Chen.
Everyone sat cross-legged quietly, then started to set up one bonfire after another, boiled water from the pot, and then took out the jerky meat. In addition, some rice brought from Mianchi County was thrown into the pot and made into porridge. Everyone had an iron box on their body, and everyone scooped the porridge and ate it with the jerky meat. After eating it, they had a full meal.
Without orders, everyone began to inspect the muskets, gunpowder and projectiles in their hands. Everything was prepared properly. At this moment, the rangers finally began to appear.
Everything was like Chen Kaizhi's guess. The other party came very quickly and did not give them time to escape. These raccoons were obviously just scouts of the forward. There were not many people, in groups of three or five. After discovering the Empress Dowager's car, they did not go forward, but were guarded far away, like flies, lingering.
Chen Kaizhi looked at these cavalrymen. They were all skilled in horse racing, obviously elite soldiers.
He couldn't help but think that since it was the army and horses of Jincheng, the attackers must have selected elite soldiers. After all, there should not be too many people crossing the river, otherwise it would inevitably be alert. On the other hand, they must not carry much food. In addition, in order to prevent the support of the official army from Hangu Pass, they must have adopted a quick battle and decisive approach.
They were even more unlikely to bring horses to cross the river. Therefore, their horses must have been obtained by the cavalry attacking the front team. There were three or four hundred cavalrymen in the front team, and the war horses they could seize were probably only more than two hundred. In this way, the enemies they had to face should be three hundred cavalry and more than one thousand infantrymen.
But even so, Chen Kaizhi still felt that it was a big deal. Chen Kaizhi dared to put himself in danger because he knew that the other party must fight quickly. The terrain here, because it was surrounded by mountains and rivers, was not open, and he was not worried about the other party's roundabout encirclement, and also eliminated the possibility of a mighty rushing attack.
So...this is a narrow road.
A brave man wins when he meets a narrow road, and the opponent's troops cannot be used, even if there are many, it will be useless.
Now...it's time to really test the Warriors Camp!
He took a deep breath and stopped thinking about it. The other party's team had not arrived. The only thing he could do now was wait quietly.
After some time, more and more military horses arrived here, and a young general, wearing bright light armor, came surrounded by his own troops.
He is Liu Bi.
Liu Bi is in his thirties and has an iron tower. He looks mediocre. Many people think that he was not born like his once handsome father, but the most prominent thing on his face is one of his hooked and big noses. Under this big nose, the other facial features do not appear very prominent.
Wherever he passed, all the soldiers consciously moved away from him and looked at him with respect.
For more than ten years, he started as a small scout in the Jincheng army. The eldest son of the prefect of the military ate and slept with all the soldiers in the army, even cleared horse manure, ate dry food with smell and chewed wax. He never complained. On the contrary, he did better than anyone else. Since his brother was born, he was fed with food and food, but he was covered in fleas and his skin was tanned.
Because he knew very well that his father had no feelings for him, he had always endured it. His patience just wanted to prove that his father had no dog and son. He wanted to tell his father that the Jincheng army could bring glory to his family.
But he was still wrong after all. He was wrong. No matter how good he did, he could not match his brother's naughty laughter and cry, but he was unwilling to give up...
If others are unwilling to accept it, you have to lie down on your leap, but if Liu Bi is unwilling to accept it, he dares to rebel and kill people.
He narrowed his eyes and stood on his horse. Now, he was only a few miles away from the Empress Dowager and the King of Zhao. After taking these two people, he would have guaranteed himself, and then he would be the legitimate governor of Jincheng.
No, he is no longer just the governor of Jincheng, but the King of Jin!
He looked into the distance, pondered for a long time, and suddenly said to the humans: "Who else is there in their army?"
A general beside him was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, King Jin, have already found out. In addition to the Empress Dowager, there are King Zhao, as well as a few concubines and Princess Ning'an."
