Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 53 Rescue the Prince
A carriage was galloping with dozens of soldiers, and the sound of horseshoes came from behind.An army bearing the flag of Wei appeared in front of him.

The soldiers behind the carriage saw that the pursuers were in a hurry, and quickly stood in a row to stop them, buying time for the carriage to escape.The emperor waved the whip in his hand heavily, and the chariot brought all the soldiers of the state of Wei to rush over.

The horseshoes galloped, and a group of soldiers were either dead or injured, and the chariot rushed towards the direction of the galloping horse without stopping.Seeing that Wei's chariot was about to collide with the carriage, Zhao Yu drove the chariot to appear with dozens of imperial troops.The driver swung his whip, and the chariot slammed into it fiercely.

A huge impact force came from the side, and the Wei State chariot lost its balance and fell to the ground.Dozens of imperial guards followed closely behind and rushed towards the army of Wei State.

The soldiers of Wei State were suddenly attacked and panicked. Although there were hundreds of them, they also fell into a disadvantage.As time passed, the soldiers of Wei State gradually came to their senses and started fighting against the imperial army.

The carriage slowly disappeared in front of his eyes, Zhao Yu let out a long sigh of relief.Subconsciously, he wanted the charioteer to turn the chariot around, but found that he and the soldiers of the imperial army were surrounded by the enemy without knowing it.

The Wei general climbed out of the overturned chariot and walked towards the encirclement surrounded by soldiers: "Prince Zhao Yu, it seems that I will catch a big fish."

"This general? How dare a centurion from Wei state call himself this general in front of Gu?"Zhao Yu looked at General Wei with contempt.

The centurion of the state of Wei looked Zhao Yu up and down, and smiled mockingly: "This prince who has lost his country is sometimes not as good as a commoner."

"National subjugation? The strength of our Zhao country is still there. Is it too early to talk about subjugation?"Zhao Yu retorted that the siege of Handan was a great shame in his life, and he must take it as a warning after he ascended the throne.

The centurion of the state of Wei pointed at Handan with his hand: "Handan, the capital of your state of Zhao, has been defeated by our state of Wei. If this is not a subjugation, what else can it be?"

"Handan? It's just a Handan, it doesn't represent the whole country of Zhao."Zhao Yu didn't want to talk to the centurion of the state of Wei, so he gave a look to the guards around him, and the soldiers knew how to raise the bronze sword in their hands and slashed at the soldiers of the state of Wei.

The centurion of the state of Wei drew out his saber in anger, and led his soldiers to strike back.All of a sudden, the sound of swords and soldiers clashing could be heard endlessly. Zhao Yu took out a sword from the chariot and rushed towards the Wei army.

The deafening sound of horseshoes sounded not far away. Xue Qian rode at the front and saw Zhao Yu surrounded by Wei's army. He slapped his horse heavily and rushed over with the army behind him.When the centurion of the state of Wei saw the reinforcements from the state of Zhao arriving, he was so anxious that he could not continue to surround and kill Zhao Yu, so he hurriedly led his soldiers and fled in all directions.

The soldiers of Wei State had just started to take steps, and when they were about to run all the way, they saw a sky full of dust in front of them.Immediately afterwards, Zhao Wuming arrived with three thousand soldiers.A round of arrow rain accompanied by the sound of swords and soldiers, the soldiers of Wei State fell in a pool of blood one after another.

Zhao Wuming walked up to Zhao Yu and got off his horse. Zhao Yu looked puzzled, but when he saw some soldiers, he gradually became relieved: "Thanks to the help of my fourth brother, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

"Brother, if you want to thank you, thank Captain Xue. Captain Xue is concerned about the safety of your brother. That's why he hurriedly told me where your brother is."Zhao Wuming smiled at Zhao Yu, and pointed to Xue Qian who was coming.

Xue Qian hurriedly bowed to Zhao Yu: "This is just the duty of a courtier, the Fourth Young Master praised it absurdly."

"I thank my fourth brother and Captain Xue."Zhao Yu saluted the two of them respectfully as a thank you.

Xue Qian panicked for a moment: "The prince can't do it, can't do it."

"How could life-saving grace be denied?"Zhao Yu ignored Zhao Wuming after finishing the salute, and looked at Zhao Wuming with a complicated expression: "Brother, I have never been able to figure out where you got these soldiers. Now that I think about it, maybe you just want to deal with this. I don't know if I'm right or not. ".

"Well, I did this just to survive."Zhao Wuming didn't hide anything from the two of them, he admitted it openly.

Hearing Zhao Wuming's frank admission, Zhao Yu was a little annoyed, with a look of resentment: "Fourth brother, why are you so confused, you can just tell your father about such things, why take such a big risk and ask the princes to borrow money?" soldiers".

"Will King Zhao listen? Wei Guo's eyes are full, if I tell you in advance, will there be another twists and turns."Zhao Wuming asked Zhao Yu a while back.

Zhao Yu looked at Zhao Wuming dumbly for a long time: "What do you plan to do next?"

"Go to Xindu".Zhao Wuming felt Zhao Yu's concern and smiled at him.

Zhao Yu obviously didn't expect this answer. He fell into deep thought for a while, and showed a worried look for a long time: "Once the Wei State completely occupies Handan and brings the prestige of a great victory, do you think this letter can still be kept?".

"Without reinforcements from all over the country, it is very difficult for a hundred thousand defenders to rely on faith alone."Zhao Wuming thought about the scenes he saw along the way, countless people were displaced, and a trace of compassion quietly spread.

Zhao Yu was silent again, looking at the soldiers who were fighting with Wei Jun in front of him, and said indignantly: "Wei Guo made a surprise attack, and I, Zhao Guokong, has the strength but no time to dispatch it. It is really hateful."

"There is a flat plain between Handan and Xindu, and there is no danger to defend. Zhao Guo lost Handan first, and if he lost Xindu, it would be a big deal."Yun Miao came slowly on horseback, and when she saw the two get off the horse, she saluted Zhao Yu.

Seeing Yun Miao, Zhao Yu was slightly taken aback, and hurried over to help him: "I can see the Deputy Envoy of Yan Kingdom here, and I feel a little more at ease."

"For the crown prince's concern, the foreign ministers are very grateful."Yun Miao spoke very respectfully, as if the imprisonment had never happened.

Zhao Yu seemed to have thought of something, looking at Yun Miao, there was a trace of anticipation in his eyes: "Yan and Zhao have always had good relations, but at this time our country was attacked by Wei State and suffered heavy losses. Report the situation and send troops to rescue our country of Zhao."

"Before the foreign envoys leave, my king Zunzun told them that Zhao, Wei, and Han belonged to the three Jin Dynasties. If there is any dispute, it is considered a family matter, and outsiders such as us should not intervene."Yun Miao used the words of King Yan in the past, and directly blocked her back.Now that the situation is unclear, how could he rashly agree as an envoy.

Zhao Yu showed a look of disappointment. If he didn't survive this catastrophe, he was afraid that all countries in the world would not send reinforcements: "The words of the king of Yan are reasonable, and I will not be a difficult person."

"The minister thanked the prince for his understanding."Yun Miao expressed her gratitude to Zhao Yu with another salute, it is not appropriate for Yan Kingdom to step in this muddy water at this time.

Zhao Wuming's eyes searched everywhere, his brows gradually raised: "Brother, why didn't I see Qing Que's figure?"

"Qingque? Didn't Qingque go to the prison to look for you?".The conversation between the two was interrupted, and Zhao Yu looked at Zhao Wuming with some doubts.

Zhao Wuming was startled, and looked at Zhao Yu: "But I didn't see Qingque, where did he go?"

"My lord, my lord is in turmoil here, so it's not suitable to stay for a long time."When the last Wei soldier fell to the ground, Sun Buer and Qing Que came quickly and reminded Zhao Wuming.

Just when Zhao Yu wanted to talk about Qingque, he heard Sun Buer and Fan Shun's reminder, and quickly pointed to Zhao Wuming: "The Queen Mother and the others are behind, maybe Shen Tuxiu will know about Qingque."

"Okay, let's go see the queen mother now."As the commander of the imperial army, Shen Tuxiu was responsible for guarding the palace, so it was impossible for him not to pay attention to Qingque's whereabouts yesterday.Zhao Wuming got on his horse, and led the prince and others to run in the direction where the two carriages were galloping just now.
