Chapter 671 The End of the Hero

Che Zuo wasn't too surprised. When he shot those four arrows, he knew there might be two results.

One is that the opponent is also a gentleman, reciprocating, or sympathizing with each other and giving up the pursuit.

The second is that there are a group of villains on the opposite side, who don't care about his holding back and continue to chase.

The people behind were chasing after him, it was just one of two possibilities, all within his expectation.

This incident is not surprising, Che Zuo is quite impressed with the fact that Young Master Chao can still laugh.

The future is uncertain, life and death are hard to know, especially when the grand ambitions of Gongzi Chao are impossible to realize, you can still laugh and say that Che Zuo mistook the gentleman, which Che Zuo feels that he is extremely difficult to compare.

It's not that he's afraid of death, but that he doesn't have the identity and ambition of Young Master Chao.

Sometimes death is the easiest to face, and the despair of ambition is the hardest to face, at least harder than death.

"My son's words and deeds are really like Guoshan collapsing and blocking the river, and his face remains unchanged."

There is no Mount Tai in Zhao State, and people in Zhao State rarely talk about Mount Tai. Most of the stories in the land of the Three Jin Dynasties are related to Wangwu Mountain and Taihang Mountain, such as Yugong Yishan.

The Guoshan collapse can be regarded as a major event that happened ten years ago in the Three Jin Dynasties. Che Zuo used the Guoshan collapse to block the Yellow River as the meaning of the Taishan collapse, which fits his status as a Jin.

Young Master Chao withdrew his gaze from behind, murmured with a wry smile: "You also went to see the big river after the collapse of Guo Mountain that year. Will it change color after more than a month?"

"From the time when the Mohists won the battle of Nanjishui and when Zhongshan and Manchu fought against Wei, I already knew that something was going to happen. The Nanjishui battle was so neat that the Mohists were invincible, I still have the possibility of success .But that Mohist victory, I knew I was going to do something bad."

"It's been too long now, how can I change my color?"

Che Zuo thought for a while, but it was still difficult to sort out the direct relationship between the Nanji Water War and the Zhao Di incident.

Young Master Chao shook his head and said: "They are afraid of your archery skills and dare not get too close. But since they dare to chase you, they must have a countermeasure. Can the four of us fight against thirty with one?"

The three people he mentioned are Che Zuo, Yu Shou, Che You and himself.

Among them, Cheyou has the lowest status. In an emergency, he needs to get out of the carriage to repair the carriage, but being able to follow him is naturally a good hand.

Che Zuo shook his head and said: "If you fight in the marketplace, it's not difficult for me to fight with one against twenty. But the other party comes from the army and was trained by the Mohist school, so I can't do it. Unless the four of us work together, cooperate tacitly and have a good understanding. Formation, or possible."

The young master said with a hey, "Then there is no other way."

Looking back, the pursuers were exactly two hundred paces away, and they were out of the range of bows and arrows. They followed like wild wolves. Anyway, it was easier to carry people on horses than to pull carts on rough roads.

Che Zuo bowed and said, "We really can't kill the pursuers. I've heard of the Mohist military system. They have Mohists in their army. Even if there are three or five people left, as long as there are Mohists, they can fight to the end. .”

"But although we can't kill them, if the young master has a place to go, we must fight to the death to protect each other."

Young Master Chao shook his head, put his hand on his forehead and said: "Hidden in the mountains and forests, I only know how to hunt, but I don't know how to farm and fish, so I can't survive."

"As for other places?"

He thought about this question when he fled.

"The Tian family has handed over Tian Wu, so Qi cannot go."

"Wei Chi can be a general, but he cannot be a monarch, and he cannot go to the state of Wei."

"As far as Chu is concerned, it doesn't matter whether you go or not. Chu is full of Mohist eyes and ears."

"I want to go to Yan Country."

Che Zuo was puzzled and said: "Young master hides in the mountains because the young master in the forest is still the young master."

"Young masters don't hide in the marketplace, because if a prince in the marketplace can hide, he is not a prince."

"Young Master is going to Yan Country, so you are going to be an official in the capacity of Young Master Chao?"

Young Master Chao shook his head and said, "It's not just that. The Mo family is in the north, so it's impossible for Zhao to go north."

"Xiangdong, the Sishang Mo family must interfere with the matter of Qidi, and Wei Han will not allow Zhao Guo to Xiangdong."

"There is only one road left to choose from for the prosperity of the Zhao Kingdom. Set up Zhongshan, tie the knot and divide Yan."

"I go to the country of Yan. If the Marquis of Yan dares to accept it, then my elder brother will have an excuse to persecute the country. If he refuses to accept it, I can only hide in the mountains, but if you stay and deal with the pursuers, it will be difficult for me to hide." Mountains and forests, so either serve or die."

Che Zuo thought of what Young Master Chao had said before, and said strangely: "Young Master just said that the matter of Qi is too close to Sishang's Mo family. If they join forces to attack Yan, I am afraid that Sishang will interfere in the name of non-attacking soldiers. How dare you?"

Young Master Chao laughed loudly and said, "Didn't you say that the ruler has both body and soul? I just want the ruler of the world to be single-minded for profit."

"After this battle, the Sishang Mo family has become a country of ten thousand chariots, and they can participate in the disputes of the world without a prince."

"Zhao and Qi form an alliance to attack Yan. If Sishang interferes, Wei Hanchu must worry that Sishang is strong and will definitely go to war against Sishang. At that time, the situation in the world will be Zhao, Wei, Han, Chu, Qi, and Yue, against Sishang Mohism and Xishang. Qin, Ji Yan, compared to the current situation, it is much better looking."

"In the battle of Jinyang, the lips died and the teeth were cold. Zhibo and Han Weimeng swore to the Emperor of Heaven, didn't they break the alliance for their own interests? This is the same reason. Wei and Zhao can't form an alliance now because of their own interests; in the future, they can form an alliance like that. , or because of profit."

Che Zuo seemed to understand, with a look of admiration on his face, he thought about the previous words again, and said in surprise: "Young Master Yu Yan, it's impossible for those nobles who rebelled with you to be forgiven by Young Master Zhang?"

The young master smiled at Haha: "You may not believe it. People like me must be like those written in the books of the Mohists, silverfish, dirty, and shameless..."

"I'm different from Tian Wu. Tian Wu wanted to become the Marquis of Qi. If he couldn't become the Marquis of Qi, he would rather let the country of Qi be destroyed together with him than kill his sworn enemy Tian Shan."

"As for me, if I have the opportunity to be Marquis of Zhao, I will definitely do it, even if there is trouble, win over Wei Guo, and give heavy bribes. And if things are impossible, and I can't be Marquis of Zhao, then let the Zhao family be strong and the Zhao family be strong. The country stands in this troubled world. As for personal enmity?"

Young Master Chao laughed loudly and said after a long time: "Do I have any personal enmity with my elder brother? It's just a struggle for power. I have no personal enmity with him. If I was not born in a Duke's family, of course I can sing "Tang Di"."

Che Zuo was stunned for a while, and finally understood the reason behind it.

Tian Wu doesn't distinguish between public and private. Such a person can't be a Marquis of Qi, but he can never be a Qi Huan.

Gong Zichao and Gong Zizhang have no personal enmity, only hostility driven by power, but there are some words that Gong Zichao can believe, even if Gong Zizhang also believes, he must die.

Surrender at this time, and go beg for mercy with Gongzi Zhang?
Thinking of what Young Master Chaoping has done in the past, Che Zuo thought, if he was only willing to wag his tail and beg for mercy, why should Zhao Guo's biggest lord not be a rebel?
But, how true are the words of Young Master Chao?How fake?
Perhaps, it is true.

Perhaps, things are doomed to fail, and I have to find some reasons to deceive myself, but if I want others to believe me, I must first believe it...

Che Zuo was very guilty of suspecting the dark thoughts of Prince Chao in his heart, but he still couldn't help thinking: "If it is really for the Zhao Kingdom and the Zhao Clan, even if you can't become Duke Zhou, you can still follow the example of Chengzi of Wei and Hero of Han, and be the leader of a country." It’s not impossible for brothers and sisters to be of the same mind, right?”

It's hard to express the dark thoughts in my heart, and I feel that if I think this way, I'm afraid I'm not a gentleman, so I muttered in my heart: "I should reflect on myself, are you not loyal to others? Are you not trusting friends?"

Just when he was about to express the dark thoughts in his heart just now, Yu Te said: "My lord, I can't run anymore, the horse is going to be unbearable."

Che Zuo suppressed the thoughts in his heart, held the bow in his left hand, and clamped the feather arrow with his fingers, and said, "Don't worry, my lord, those people are not good at archery. If they don't get close, they will not be able to shoot us. Choose a wide place to rest." ..."

The imperial hand parked the carriage on a high place of a small mound, which was an open place.

However, the people behind also parked their horses outside the range of the bow and arrow, rested each other, let the horses eat the green grass, and were not in a hurry to rush forward.

The terrain here is wide open, if you just park here, Che Zuo is sure that the opposite side will not have the guts to come, it is impossible that there is such an open land in front of you.

Leaving the chariot, even if he is proficient in archery, it is impossible for the young master to escape like a common man climbing mountains and wading across rivers.

Not to mention that this humiliates one's identity, how can one survive in the mountains without distinguishing things?The four people in this car are all of noble origin, where did they receive education on how to live in the mountains?

Otherwise, when Duke Wen of Jin fled, he wouldn't have gone to beg for food and been thrown a meal of dirt by the savages.

Those villains behind were like a group of flies chasing cows and horses, they couldn't be chased away or killed.

After being vigilant for a long time, something happened not long after he was on the road again.

Those people lay in ambush in front, and suddenly there was a volley, and then they got on their horses and ran.

The distance was very far, and the people in the carriage did not suffer any losses, but two of the horses were wounded, the rest were frightened, and the wheels were also damaged.

Obviously, this is no longer possible. Even if these people are nobles who have received military training since childhood, how can they fight against those villains who run away like horseflies without a chariot and two legs?

From the perspective of the car left, their muskets are far inferior to the bows and arrows in their hands. Their thumbs can draw the bow a hundred times without bleeding, while the muskets on the opposite side can only shoot six or seven times when they draw the bow a hundred times.

However, they ran away after hitting, and it was really difficult to hit people with this musket, but who knows if they will be hit after a few more times?
Besides, without the carriage, if you run wildly, wouldn't you be chased to death?

On the contrary, Young Master Chao seemed to let go, looking at the broken wheel, the corner of his mouth slightly turned up and said: "I won't run away."

On the broken carriage, he straightened his clothes and crown. He couldn't straighten himself without a mirror around him, so he asked the car left: "Is the clothes upright? Is the crown upright? Is the sword upright?"

Che Zuo bowed and said, "A gentleman is straight."

Young master jumped out of the carriage, stepped forward, and said to the carriage beside him: "You don't want to follow."

He stepped forward, and the people on the opposite side immediately became vigilant. Several people rode back a few steps, and the rest dismounted and lined up in front, raising their black muskets, motionless.

The young master walked within a few dozen steps and said loudly: "You are not polite to the common people. You are not deceiving me. Four arrows from the left side of my car will not hurt your life, but you are still pressing? You Mohists say that virtue is not eternal. , can change at any time, so what is the virtue of your Mohists?"

He didn't use Yayin, but Zhaoyu with a slight local accent, which he believed the other party could understand.

On the opposite side, a man who looked very young but should be the leader of the group shouted: "The four arrows from your car to the left will not hurt us, but you nobles are silverfish, taking away the wealth of the people's labor, and making most people in the world Poverty, hunger and cold, people have three difficulties. You have killed hundreds of thousands of people, but you only did not kill four, so you are a gentleman? If this gentleman is so easy to be, we don’t care if you are a gentleman.”

The young master stared blankly, then laughed dumbfoundedly.

That's right, the opposite is the Mo family, how can I reason with them?
Having no king or father, they are not ashamed, but proud.

They can all say things like "the covenant between the ruler and the ministers and gangsters". I don't know how many people have said that they are rebellious ministers and traitors, and how many people have cursed them as inferior to animals.

The gentleman still writes like that, but the interpretations of the meaning of the gentleman on both sides are completely different, so how can we make it clear?

Young Master Chao didn't get angry or smile, he sighed and said, "I am the son of Zaofu, the son of Duke Wu, Young Master Chao of the Zhao family."

"I heard that there is a man from your Mo family who captured Yue Boyi back then, so he got a surname. A bitch doesn't have a surname, but today you captured me, so I can have a surname."

He is not called the king of Yue, but the uncle of Yue, which is already regarded as a respectful title, and the barbarian is his son, this is the rule, even if the Yue Kingdom inherits Dayu's sacrifice, after all, there is still a genuine one among the three Kes in the Central Plains, and the Yue Kingdom is not considered a good one. superior.

Young Master Chao smiled wryly and was speechless. He told Che Zuo before that life should be eaten and death should be cooked.

For him, the most useless way to die, the most humiliating way to die, is to be killed by a group of nameless sluts.

So, until now, he couldn't escape. He didn't want to die at the hands of these sluts with no surname or family name, but hoped to be caught back.

At least, if he was captured, he would be accused of rebellion, and he would use the method of executing the nobles, and use the funeral of the nobles after death.

And if he dies here, it will be a joke for future generations, and the young master will be killed by a group of sluts!

When he finished speaking, he found that those people on the opposite side looked at their leader one after another, as if there was something indescribable, not surprise, but a kind of astonishment when they heard something familiar.

When Young Master Chao saw this, he was surprised, and thought to himself: "I heard that there are many nobles and nobles in the Mo family. Could it be that the leader of the bitch opposite is actually a scholar? Or is it a nobleman from Chu, Qi, Lu and Song? If not, those people Why is it so weird?"

After waiting for a long time, the leader of the people on the opposite side suddenly said loudly: "Zhao Chao, the era when only nobles had surnames is over."

"Our Mohists have already made a decision. Ordinary people must have a surname. They think that in the future, people with the same surname will not be married. Everyone is equal under the Emperor of Heaven, so we start with the surname first. The people have written a book, and everyone gets their surname by drawing lots."

"If the difference between noble and inferior is based on whether you have a surname, then everyone standing in front of you will have a surname. Maybe there is someone with the surname Zhao!"

"As for the matter of capturing the king of Yue and getting his surname, it wasn't because the surname can make a person dignified that he got the surname as a reward."

"It's because Shi Shuai wants to tell the world that there is no difference between people and tell the world that ordinary people can also capture the king of Chu and Yue, and can be a gentleman! Ordinary people can also despise princes!"

"There are many common people who despise princes and princes, so the surname only has the meaning of not marrying with the same surname. Why is virtue? Not because marriage with the same surname will make the gods angry, but because marriage with the same surname will easily give birth to children who cannot support them."

"The people are gods, because the people know that it is better not to marry with the same surname, so the gods regard it as a virtue not to marry with the same surname. It is not because the gods think that it is a virtue not to marry with the same surname."

The young master stood there in a daze, and he became more and more convinced that the young man opposite must have a surname, otherwise he would not be able to explain such a truth, even though there are many literate soldiers in Sishang's army, some words are really not like a shepherd slave from a generation What the gangster can say.

He didn't believe it.

Even more unwilling.

So he asked aloud, "What's your name? What's your last name?"

Without the slightest hesitation on the other side, he shouted in a playful tone: "You are not going to marry your daughter to me, so what's the use of asking me for my surname? Take off my name, I am the company commander of the first company of the Mojia Gaoliubian Army Knights; I am the younger brother in the mouth of my sister; I am the 'wheat cake' in the mouth of my parents; I am the black wolf in the mouth of the shepherd in the border fort..."

The young master twitched his cheeks, and heard the man in front shout: "Throw down the sword, come over, you are captured!"
