Chapter 670 The End of the Hero

After chasing him for a while, there was only one of Sima's about [-] soldiers left beside him, and the rest scattered, and he didn't know where they went after him.

He didn't know where he was chasing. When he looked up, he saw a carriage running backwards in the distance. From the appearance of the carriage, he could tell that there was a big man inside.

"Come up!"

With a shout, the people around him split into two rows tacitly, and outflanked the chariot from the left and right directions.

The fleeing chariot was extremely stable, and one could see the archer standing on it, but he did not shoot the arrow from a distance, but was like a wolf staring at the prey but not in a hurry to strike. The wolf, who could wait for a long time to strike suddenly, keenly sensed some danger.

Subconsciously slowed down, several partners on the left had already rushed over.

After all, the speed of the carriage was slower than that of riding a horse, and the distance between the two sides was only twenty steps.

At this moment, the man on the chariot suddenly moved, and the feathered arrows in his hand quickly struck the string, making four swishing sounds, and the four feathered arrows seemed to be fired at the same time, with a distance of twenty steps, the force could pierce through Yang. .

The feathered arrow seemed to hit the horse in the eye, and the horse galloped wildly, throwing the four riders to the ground.

The four riders fell to the ground, but the two closest ones were fine. They approached the carriage in a daze, but were directly scratched by the long dagger protruding from the carriage and fell off the horse.

Sishang does not teach archery, and there are no full-time archers in the army. Although there are many people from the scholar class in the Mohist school, archery is not a must-learn method in the army.

The concubine Mi didn't know that the person in the car was using the methods of "Shenlian" and "Jingyi", but she also knew that the opponent's methods were superb.

If it is someone else, and there are pursuers behind, I am afraid that they will shoot at about a hundred paces.

But this man waited until about twenty paces before shooting. He was thoughtful and bold, extremely calm, especially he didn't shoot the nearest two but intentionally shot the one in the middle, killing them with Ge.

"Dudu..."

The concubine Pu Mi vigorously blew the whistle hanging around his neck to signal his partner to stop.

The companions stopped and began to turn back. At this time, the carriage had left about thirty or forty steps. At this moment, Shu Pu Mi felt a black shadow coming straight towards him.

It was too late to dodge, and a flash of panic flashed in my heart.

"I'm dying!"

Then I felt a sinking on the top of my head and a sharp pain, but it was not the pain of being shot by the feather arrow, but the pain of the scalp where the feather arrow scratched the hair after the hair was scattered.

The carriage in the distance shouted: "I won't take your life, I'll let you know my tricks! If a gentleman doesn't pursue, he will die if he pursues him!"

The concubine Mi looked back and saw that her fur hat had been shot, and her bun was also shot away. Her hair was scattered behind her back, and she didn't know how many hairs were broken by the feather arrows.

"Commander, are you alright?"

The concubine Mi was still in shock, shook her head, and ran over to check on the six companions just now. The last two were only injured and did not die. The first four were more seriously injured. Tell the galloping horse to throw them off. His bones were visibly injured.

There were more than 20 of the [-] people left in an instant. The high level of archery on the opposite side really shocked these soldiers who had only used muskets that cost more than one point to reload.

The concubine Mi tore off a piece of cloth to wrap her hair, and the backbone of the remaining 20 people gathered together.

"There is no killer on the other side. But with such superb archery skills, he must be a big shot. If it weren't for an extremely expensive person, Che Zuodan would not have such means."

"Chase or not?"

Opposite is the enemy, and it is obvious that the status is dignified. At this time, if you ask whether to chase or not, it actually means that someone has already hesitated.

With that person's archery skills just now, if he directly chooses to shoot someone, none of the six people will be spared.

Archery is still second to none, and the stability and calmness of the man's mind is even more frightening.

If an ordinary person is being chased, he would draw his bow and shoot at about a hundred paces away, but this man quietly waited until his own rider approached about twenty paces before drawing his bow and shooting. The technique of Lianjingyi is shocking, but it avoids the closest two people, because one hand can only shoot four arrows at most, if it only hits the front four people behind, it will catch up, on the contrary. Widened the distance, one against six, and finally revealed the method of piercing Yang with one hundred steps.

The other party kept his hand, which can be described as benevolent.

Mi, the concubine, stroked her hair, stared at the chariot running in front of her, gritted her teeth and said, "Chasing! Didn't Hu Feizi say before the war that we should try our best to capture Zhao nobles or... The enemy may be a very good person, but a good person is also an enemy, and the enemy of a good person is not necessarily a bad person."

He knew that he didn't die just now, because the other party kept his hand, no matter what his intentions were, he did it after all.

If he sees such a character in the market after he retires, he must have a drink and talk, but on the battlefield, there is only life and death, only victory or defeat.

As for whether you can bear to do it if you really want to catch up, that's one thing, but it's another thing whether you want to catch up or not.

Several backbones discussed it, and they all agreed with the opinion of Shu Pu Mi. The rules of the Mo family let them think about the rules first and then their emotions on the battlefield.

After the vote, the concubine Mi wrote down the situation and the results of the vote. After everyone signed the letter, a few people were left behind to report the letter and take care of the wounded.

"When we were in Gaoliu, we also saw wolves. The wolves are really hungry, and they will follow the prey closely until the prey can't hold on."

"Although the man is good at shooting, the carriage can't run for too long. If we kill his horse, we still have guns in our hands, and we will exhaust him to death."

"Look for a chance and grab him!"

He didn't say to kill him, but to catch him, which makes some sense.

…………

On the carriage, Young Master Chao was holding a short spear, and said to the left archer beside him, "You can't be polite to ordinary people, how do they know the truth of being a gentleman? The world is going down, and the virtue of Jin people teaching Chu people to escape is gone. Why don't you shoot?" Kill the man who gave the orders?"

Che Zuo Bowman said: "Young Master, the Mohists are different from other families. The army of the princes, if they shoot the officials to death, their army will be defeated. Even if the Mohist officers die, the army can still hold on. I will shoot him an arrow to let him know what I am capable of. , so that he dare not come after him. Otherwise, I'm afraid that shooting him to death will cause them to fight against each other, which is not good."

"I owe him my kindness, and I believe he will always repay me with kindness."

The young master said nothing, looked back, looked up to the sky and sighed: "The big thing is over! But where are you going?"

Che Zuo replied: "The Que and the city cannot be entered. The Mohists have won the field battle, so how can the Que and the city be defended? Isn't it a fish caught in a knuckle if fleeing into the city?"

After all, Gong Zichao is someone who has thought about doing great things. At this time, he was surprisingly calm, neither crying nor making trouble, and sighed: "I got it. Wei Jian, Wei Jian, it is difficult to achieve great things, not as good as his father, Marquis Wen." Marquis Wen is so talented, how did he give birth to such a son?"

"Either fight, or don't fight, stop fighting halfway through the fight, who in the world doesn't know if Wei will become the overlord? When Qi is strong, even if Qi is strong, without Qi Huan, how can he dominate?"

"Can't do it, can't do it."

Che Zuo said: "Son of Heaven..."

The young master waved his hand and said: "Son of Heaven? He Wei Chi really listens to the Son of Heaven? From the Son of Heaven, the three clans of Han, Zhao and Wei are all rebels! It's just to save face, and they have to retreat. This joke makes the world laugh."

Che Zuo sighed, "It's a pity that Duke Wu didn't dispose of Young Master Zhang earlier..."

Hearing this, the young master said seriously: "My father is already the Marquis of Zhao. If I am not the son of a Duke, how can I get involved in the position of Marquis? There is enough left for me. It is because I am not capable enough to accomplish anything. Where is it?" Still dissatisfied?"

"When a husband handles things, he doesn't complain like an abandoned wife. If things fail, death will. Life should be eaten by the seven cauldrons, and death should be cooked by the seven cauldrons. It's just that it's better not to die if you can't die. But when you really want to die, you must not insult The quality of a nobleman."

Hearing this, Che Zuo bowed and saluted, and said, "If you say that, sir, I have to ask some questions."

Young Master waved his hand towards Free and Easy, "Say."

"My son asked for help from Wei...does that count as a betrayal of Zhao?"

Young Master Chao laughed and said: "Zhao is Zhao, one surname is private, one person's family. I betrayed Mr. Zhang's State of Zhao. Doesn't it mean that Mr. Zhang also betrayed my Zhao State? The one who succeeds is Marquis, The loser is the bandit."

"I asked for help from Wei, but his son Zhang didn't ask the Mo family for help? Oh, the Mo family said it is beneficial to the world, so his son Zhang is benefiting the world?"

Che Zuo hurriedly said: "I don't have any other thoughts about the young master, I just have doubts in my heart."

Young Master Chao was extremely free and easy, waved his hands and said: "You read too many books. Your mind is just messed up. If you don't read so many books, you won't have these thoughts. What is a family and country? Hundreds of schools have their own opinions. The country you talk about , not the country I said. You are right in asking, and I am right in what I said."

After finishing speaking, he sighed again and said, "The road to Zhao State is in the north. In Gaoliu, Jiuyuan, and Yunzhong. Wei and Zhao can form an alliance to suppress Chu, Mo, and Qin."

"I won. I drove away the Mohist family. I went northward with all my strength and went deep into the Hu land. The Zhao country can still be strong. Everything that was heavily bribed by the Wei people will be taken back in the future."

"He won, and Wei Zhao abandoned the alliance. We need to guard against the Wei people at any time, so how can we go north with all our strength? The Mo family is like ink, the princes are like bowls, and the people are like water. Wei Zhao's exchange of land is just a change of bowl, and the water is still the same water. The Mohists get the land , such as ink in water, never get it back.”

"My cousin sold the entire Zhao family's future for the throne. Forget it... The matter has come to this point, it's useless to talk about it. It's as if I'm justifying myself afterwards."

"The methods of the Mo family can make the Zhao people strong, but they can't make the Zhao family strong. Zhao people are strong, and the Zhao family is dead. He doesn't understand."

"When the people are strong, the ruler is weak. When the people's wisdom develops, the ruler will perish. If the people seek profit, the ruler will not benefit. If the people seek power, the ruler will have no power."

"The enemy of the king is not the other princes, but the people of the world. It is a pity that the princes of the world are short-sighted and don't know who the enemy is."

Che Zuo hurriedly said: "Young Master, I'm afraid you've confused the distinction between concurrent and physical. If you are concurrently a monarch, then the enemy of the monarch is the people; if you are a monarch, the enemy of the monarch is still the princes of various countries."

The theory of combining elements made Young Master Chao, who had just experienced failure, couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said: "You, please read less Mohist books. If you read too much, if you really have the heart to benefit the world, then You are bound to suffer."

"Killing me will benefit the world, but it violates the righteousness of loyalty and years of friendship. Read less of their books, not to make you stupid and loyal, but to make you not suffer."

Che Zuo saluted and agreed, and the young master said: "If you read their books when you were young, I think it's very good. I'm afraid that you will be a gentleman of the Zhou Dynasty for 20 years, but you will be a gentleman of the Mohist school in 20 years. It will be difficult."

Che Zuo nodded, and after a while of silence, he asked again: "My lord... the big event has been defeated, what do you think?"

Young Master Chao shook his head and said: "What can you think? The overall situation of Zhao State has been decided, and it was doomed at the time of the battle of Qimo Nanjishui. I wanted to be Zhaohou, but I couldn't. So dead. Even if you hide in the mountains, you still have to live."

Che Zuo was puzzled and said, "Didn't you just say that your husband is doing things, and he is a food in life and a cook in death? This is hidden in the mountains..."

The young master laughed loudly and said: "If I were Zhaohou, the first thing I would do would be to take over the power and suppress the nobles. My elder brother also thinks the same way in his heart, and anyone who becomes the king will think the same way."

"Anyway, I can't be Marquis of Zhao anymore. For the sake of the Zhao family, I have to do something. I'm alive, so my elder brother will be more ruthless, for fear that I will act like Jinwen Qihuan and return to the country in the future."

"I'm not stupid. As soon as the Wei people withdrew, I knew I couldn't fight. Why the decisive battle? Just send some people to die. The country of Zhao can't go on in chaos anymore. It should be stable and strong as soon as possible. Now all countries are reforming, and the country of Zhao No change, I'm afraid it will end."

"If Wei Ren is here, I still have a chance to win the position of Marquis Zhao. If Wei Ren betrays the alliance, if I struggle again, it will be just to make people laugh."

As soon as he finished speaking, Che's left ear moved, and he touched the bow in his hand.

The young master looked back and laughed loudly: "I knew that these people are not gentlemen. You treat others as a gentleman, and others treat you as a villain. Everyone is like this. No one dares to be a gentleman anymore."

Behind him, several horses followed at a distance, neither too close nor too far away.
