Chapter 4348 Captured alive
The surrounding soldiers started shouting and scolding again. I have seen some arrogant people, but I have never seen one this arrogant. How dare you be so rude to the commander on the right guard? Do you really not know how to write the word "death"?
Yin Qinzhou was not angry. He was a Confucian general. Things like ordinary anger rarely happened to him. He looked at Wang Fangyi with a smile for a moment, and then said slowly: "Go back and tell Duke Yue that when it is time to go, a certain person will Will go.”
Wang Fangyi waited for a while, and when he saw that he had nothing else to say, he nodded and said, "I will leave at the end."
Yin Qinzhou waved his hand to Yin Yuan: "Go and see off General Wang."
Yin Yuan quickly accepted the order and sent Wang Fangyi to the Wei River to board the boat. He watched Wang Fangyi's boat crossing the Wei River before returning and asked: "What is father's plan?"
Yin Qinzhou turned around and walked to the side to temporarily build a tent to shelter from the wind. After sitting down, he asked Yin Yuan to sit on the side and said warmly: "The reason why we braved the world's disapproval and raised troops to come here is actually to test it on behalf of everyone. Fan.”
Yin Yuan understood half of it. Now the garrison troops and nobles from all over Guanzhong are watching the fire from across the bank, waiting for the best time to end. However, this best time is difficult to grasp. If it is late, the benefits will be the least, and if it is early, the risk will be too great.
But what’s the temptation?
Yin Qinzhou was extremely patient and coaxing towards his son: "It is said to be a test, but in fact it is just to find a scapegoat... Some things cannot be seen clearly. Only by participating in it can you know the truth, but those nobles cherish their own bodies and shrink." Before, someone needs to step forward and help everyone.”
Yin Yuan was surprised: "Why should my father be so at the mercy of others?"
Although the Yin family is not a top-notch family, it can still be regarded as a powerful one in Liquan. The family has a small population. Neither Yin Qinzhou nor Yin Yuan has any ambitions. Why should they take such a big risk to make wedding dresses for other families?
"Some things are not a question of whether you think about it or not, but a question of whether you do it or not. Our Yin family seems to be stable, but in fact we are very close to the Guanlong clan because of your father. At this time, you don't think about it as before. It is so ambiguous and easy to move forward and retreat, but it is no longer possible. No matter what the position is, one must express his attitude. Otherwise, no matter who gets the upper hand in the middle, it will be difficult for him to have a good ending. ”
The Yin family is close to the Guanlong clan, but they do not belong to the Guanlong clan. If His Majesty wins in the future, the Guanlong clan will be completely wiped out, and the Yin family will not be able to escape disaster; and if the King of Jin succeeds in seizing the direct heir, Guanlong's power will increase greatly. They will also settle the old accounts that the Yin family refused to come forward today...
The wild beasts in the mountains and forests prey on the weak, and the same is true for the rules in the human world.
Yin Yuan remained silent.
Yin Qinzhou patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "There is no need to worry. Although we have become those people's knives, the handle of the knife is in our own hands. We can still decide where to chop. Wait a moment, As long as Fang Jun captures Taiji Palace, no matter what the situation is in the palace, we will immediately publicly express our support for His Majesty and protect the Wei River frontline for His Majesty."
At worst, the whole family will follow His Majesty and flee to Hexi to establish a new political power to compete with Chang'an. By then, the Yin family will naturally enter the core of power, and all sacrifices will be worth it.
*****
Wang Fangyi stood on the boat, his clothes rustled in the river wind, and he felt a chill all over his body. Only then did he realize that the inner coat was soaked with cold sweat...
Just now, he seemed to be strong in front of Yin Qinzhou, but in fact, he himself had no idea. Who knows what Yin Qinzhou was thinking? If he really surrendered to the King of Jin with all his heart, he, Fang Jun's confidant, would be cut into pieces and thrown into the Wei River to feed the fish.
It wasn't until the boat arrived at the north bank of the Wei River and his feet stepped on the land that Wang Fangyi put his heart back in his stomach. He bowed his hands to the soldiers who sent him across the river, met with more than ten people who came with him, and untied the ropes that had been tied to the tree. He turned over the reins of his war horse and galloped towards the Youtunwei camp.
From Xuanwu Gate to the north to the Weishui River, the east side is the higher Longshouyuan, and the west side is the old site of Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty. The area in the middle that is more suitable for traffic is allocated by the Forbidden Garden. It is also crisscrossed by mountains and interspersed by rivers. Inconvenient.
Wang Fangyi was leading the way, and when he was rounding a hill, he suddenly reined in his horse and stopped. Seeing this, more than ten people behind him also hurriedly controlled their horses and stopped, wondering: "General, what's the matter?"
"Shh——"
Wang Fangyi told everyone to be silent, got off his horse, lay down on the ground and listened with his ears close to the ground for a while, then stood up and looked to the south, and said in a deep voice: "There are cavalry coming from the direction of Xuanwu Gate, about ten or so. The sound of hooves is rapid and chaotic, and it seems to be a caravan or a group of soldiers... Everyone obeys the order, hides the horses and takes cover on both sides of the road!"
"Here!"
More than ten horsemen dismounted one after another, led their horses to the woods beside the road, put on bits and tied them to the tree trunks, and then lurked in the grass on the roadside. They each put their horizontal knives at hand, then took off the crossbows on their backs, cocked the arrows, and held their breath. Concentrate and wait for the other party to arrive.
After a while, the sound of horse hooves gradually became clearer from far to near.
Then, a team of more than ten people came galloping towards them. At a glance, they could see that the knights on the horses were wearing the uniforms of the Zuotun Guards. However, the troops were in a mess and were moving in a hurry. They had no time to observe whether there was an ambush in front of them. They just rushed on their horses.
Wang Fangyi raised the crossbow in his hand, leveled it, and aimed one eye at the knight who looked like an officer riding a maroon horse. When he got close, he shouted: "Let go!"
Pulling the trigger, the crossbow bolt flew away from the string. The knight on horseback was caught off guard and was hit in the shoulder by the crossbow arrow. He screamed and fell off his horse.
Whoosh whoosh! More than a dozen arrows suddenly shot out from the grass on both sides of the road. Immediately, seven or eight people were hit by arrows, and there was a scream of surprise. Several people fell off their horses, and the remaining people, instead of stopping to treat their companions, ran faster and faster and disappeared without a trace...
Wang Fangyi was a little stunned. Is this the quality of Zuo Tunwei?
There was a battle ahead, but these people fled the battlefield and did not even stop to rescue their companions when they were attacked. It was obvious that they were scared out of their wits and had no morale at all, and they had no idea what was happening over there in the camp.
He jumped out from the grass with his men, and first controlled a few people who were rolling and wailing on the ground and unloaded their weapons. Then Wang Fangyi looked at one of them for a moment, showed his white teeth and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Duke Qiao. Nice to meet you.”
It turned out to be Chai Zhewei who fled all the way here after the defeat...
Chai Zhewei endured the severe pain in his shoulder blade, stared at Wang Fangyi with burning eyes, and kept his lips tight and silent.
What's there to say?
First, he was defeated by Fang Jun in one fell swoop. Tens of thousands of troops rushed forward and was completely defeated. He was even more frightened by Fang Jun's pursuit among tens of thousands of troops. He had to abandon the army and run for his life. As a result, he was killed by a small man on the way. The scouts ambushed and captured... He was completely humiliated.
Wang Fangyi smiled brightly, stood up and commanded the soldiers on the side: "Come here, cut off the arrow shaft and treat it, but don't let anything happen to Duke Qiao. The merits and rewards of our brothers all depend on him!"
"Here!"
The soldiers on the side rushed over to rescue Chai Zhewei. This was like pie in the sky. Who would have thought that they could encounter such a big fish while walking? Capturing the enemy coach alive in the middle of a battle must be such a feat. It is not just a reward for meritorious service? It is no exaggeration to say that everyone has to rely on this person for the rest of his life, but he can't wait for him?
Some people were afraid that Chai Zhewei would bite his tongue and commit suicide, so they simply tore off a piece of rag from his clothes and stuffed it into his mouth to block it tightly. Then they tied him up tightly and never allowed him to escape or kill himself. This was a huge future. There must be no mistake...
Chai Zhewei's hands and feet were tied and his mouth was gagged. It was difficult for him to move any part of his body. He struggled only to squirm a few times like maggots. He made some noises like "uh uh uh" in his throat, and his eyes were red with anger.
You have so many people and so many knives, even if you ask me to run, I have to dare to run? Why does it have to be so tight and so uncomfortable?
It's so deceiving...
Wang Fangyi thought for a while, and then asked someone to take off some clothes from the dead body and cover Chai Zhewei's head and face to prevent trouble caused by Zuotunwei's retreating troops on the way, and in case of encountering a group of more than 20 troops in retreat. Seeing that Chai Zhewei wants to take it back, he may not be able to defeat him. If the credit he got is lost, he may be depressed to death.
After cleaning up, Wang Fangyi got on his horse, personally placed Chai Zhewei in front of his saddle, and galloped along the road towards Xuanwu Gate with his soldiers.
Generally speaking, defeated troops will not take the main road in order to avoid being chased. After all, there are only a few fools like Chai Zhewei who have no choice in the road...
However, when they approached the old site of Han Chang'an, more and more Zuotunwei's defeated troops fled from the direction of Xuanwumen like headless flies. In the mountains, forests, ravines, and on the road, groups of routed troops fled, and the mountains and plains were filled with panic. He even met several groups of broken soldiers on the way, which shocked Wang Fangyi and others.
As a result, when the other party saw the uniforms of the Youtun Guards of Wang Fangyi and others, they were so frightened that they ran into the forest on the roadside like rabbits and disappeared...
Wang Fangyi did not dare to be careless. After ambushing a group of defeated soldiers, he changed his clothes and then faced countless defeated soldiers. The group of people knew that they would definitely win a big victory, and they became more and more excited.
The Youtun Guards have unparalleled love and respect for Fang Jun, because Fang Jun leads them from one victory to another. No matter how powerful the enemy is and how critical the situation is, they can always defeat the powerful enemy and usher in victory in the end.
Therefore, even though the military situation in Chang'an City was raging at the moment, and the rebels even broke into Taiji Palace, the moment Fang Jun returned to the Youtun Guards to take over, no one in the army ever doubted that they would fail.
However, in the face of the strong troops and well-organized Zuotunwei, they were still able to win so quickly and completely defeat tens of thousands of enemy troops, which still made Wang Fangyi and others feel unbelievable while being ecstatic...
He couldn't help but slap Chai Zhewei on the buttocks, who was lying horizontally in front of him: "After all, you are also a prince who leads the army. You have a rich family background and a profound knowledge. Although I know you can't defeat our commander, but Are you too useless to lose so quickly?”
"Woo woo woo."
Chai Zhewei was so ashamed and angry that he was so embarrassed and angry. If his mouth hadn't been blocked and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood, he would have wanted to shout "A scholar can be killed but not humiliated", but he could only moan and spit out half of the word. Not out.
Thinking of the ridicule and ridicule he would face in the future, he suddenly felt that it would be better to lead his army to fight to the death with Fang Jun. It was still unclear who would win. Even if he died in the battle, he would still have a good reputation for being brave and fearless. How could he be like a pawn now? Can you humiliate him?
Too much regret. (End of chapter)
