Competing

Chapter 497
At Jingxingkou, Han Xin led the Han army to fight to the death. The soldiers of the Han army fought desperately to survive because they were in a desperate situation.Before that, Han Xin used the trick of pretending to be defeated to lure the enemy, inducing the Zhao army to rush out rashly and hunt down.

From the kings and ministers to the ordinary generals and soldiers of Zhao State, they were all complacent. As a result, they were caught off guard after the battle and were quickly dispersed by the Han army.Even so, it was only a small defeat for the Zhao State. Guangwu Lord Li Zuoche arrived in time to dissuade the Zhao King, and he could have turned the tide so that the Zhao State would not be defeated.

However, Zhao Guoren's luck was really not very good. It can also be said that Han Xin was superior in chess.When the Zhao army was about to return to the camp to regroup after being defeated, they found that the red flags of the Han army had been planted all over the camp.In the panic, Zhao's soldiers were even more chaotic, completely defeated.

It has become an indisputable fact that Zhao's army has suffered a crushing defeat. Li Zuoche looked at the defeated Zhao soldiers and knew that the situation was over.It is impossible to turn the tide, and even the gods descending to earth cannot prevent the end of Zhao's defeat.

The State of Zhao was completely defeated, and ended up in the same fate as the State of Western Wei, and was basically expelled from the princes of the world.Li Zuoche looked up to the sky and sighed, helpless to the extreme, just like his grandfather, with all his skills and full of strategy, he could still serve the country and keep the safety of Zhao country.At the same time, Li Zuoche also blamed himself very much. He just noticed that Han Xin's last stand can boost morale, but he didn't expect that Han Xin's biggest intention was to sneak attack on the camp.

He just anxiously asked Zhao Jun to return to the camp and gather the remnants of the soldiers. Unexpectedly, the red flag of the Han Army had already been planted in the barracks.Li Zuoche naturally knew that this was just a bluff, and also knew that King Zhao was not captured, but the soldiers in panic would not care so much.So they believed that Zhao Jun's defeat was precisely here.I have to admire Han Xin. It can be said that he has grasped the core of this battle and destroyed the confidence and morale of Zhao's army at once, completely messing it up.

Li Zuoche didn't know where Zhao Wangxie and Chen Yu were who left first?Did they get away with it?Maybe Zhao Wang is alive, Zhao Guo still has a chance!No, no, Zhao Guo's army has already suffered a crushing defeat here. People like Zhao Wangxie and Chen Yu want to make a comeback, which seems a bit like a joke.That is to say, the country of Zhao has no hope at all, and the existence of the army after the end has lost its meaning, but Li Zuoche is not reconciled.

Li Zuoche wanted to lead an army to fight a bloody road, to find Zhao Wangxie who might escape from the siege, or to do some other things.But at this moment, you can't just walk if you want to!
……

Looking at the defeated army of Zhao Guo, the corners of Zhang Er's mouth were beaming, and Han Xin also had a smile on the corners of his mouth.At this moment, the complex emotions in the heart can only be known by those who have experienced it, and succeeded after a huge adventure.

The last stand achieved the desired effect, and Guan Ying also lived up to expectations and occupied Zhao Guo's barracks in time.In the battle between Han and Zhao, the Han army has won a complete victory.The State of Zhao will be erased from the world map and become the Dai County and Handan County of the Han State.For Han Xin himself, its influence is also extraordinary.

Zhang Er knew that he had taken a big step forward in revenge, Zhao Guo's army had been defeated, and it was only a matter of time before Chen Yu was caught.After Han Xin's consent, the Han army has made the capture of Zhao Wangxie and Chen Yu a top priority, and only needs to wait for a while.Thinking of being able to kill the great enemy Chen Yu soon, there is still a lot of excitement and excitement in my heart.

Han Xin's mood is more complicated than that of Zhang Er. Zhang Er is nothing more than revenge. For Han Xin, this completely means that the ambition and future in his heart can be realized.Winning Zhao Guo is of course good for Liu Bang, and it is even more crucial to his future.Now that the first step has been successfully completed, the rest is just around the corner.Thinking of this, Han Xin couldn't help feeling a little emotional!
Standing behind the formation, Han Xin and Zhang Er watched as a group of soldiers and horses were still fighting tenaciously in the defeated Zhao army, at least keeping the formation in order.It seemed a bit unique among the chaos army, it was very strange, and quickly attracted their attention.

After Han Xin looked up and saw it, he frowned and asked, "Who is that? What's going on?"

Zhang Er also frowned, why are there still people in the Zhao army fighting hard?After pondering for a moment, he suddenly said, "Marshal Han, that might be Li Zuoche!"

Li Zuoche is the only one who can do this in Zhao Guo's army, and other people's stunts don't have this ability!This is the case without even thinking about it, so Zhang Er is very sure.

"Li Zuoche?" Han Xin stared intently at the distinctive group of Zhao soldiers in the distance, with a profound meaning in his eyes.He admired this person, but he was also a little apprehensive. Now he should have some other thoughts.

"Open your ears to listen!"

Zhang Er was startled suddenly. Unexpectedly, Han Xin suddenly gave him an order, and immediately said solemnly: "Marshal orders!"

Han Xin said in a deep voice: "You quickly bring a troop to my commander to stop Li Zuoche. Remember to do whatever it takes. Those Zhao soldiers can be killed, but Li Zuoche must be captured alive!"

Capture Li Zuoche alive?Zhang Er understood in a moment that Han Xin had cherished talent and wanted to win over Li Zuoche.Talents are of great significance in this era, and no commander would want to let go of a general like Li Zuoche.In such an emergency, Han Xin's first concern is not to catch Zhao Wangxie, but Li Zuoche, which shows Han Xin's cherishment and desire for talents.I just don't know whether this Li Zuoche can be recruited smoothly, it depends on Han Xin's own means and ability.

It is true that Han Xin likes Li Zuoche, just like when he first met Zhang Er, he was also full of ideas of solicitation.Han Xin has his own plans, so he needs to train his own direct line of generals and counselors. Zhang Er's military talent can only be regarded as average, but it has extraordinary political significance.

It has already shown itself in the war to pacify the Zhao country. In this war-torn era, the most desired and needed ones should be generals!As a commander, Han Xin may need a higher-level position in the future. Naturally, he is in the minority to lead troops in battle. A general who is good at leading troops in battle is very necessary.Although Guan Ying was very respectful and loyal to Han Xin, Han Xin knew very well that Guan Ying was Liu Bang's general, and he was only out of admiration and respect for him, or a kind of conviction, not a confidant.

Therefore, Han Xin's top priority is to cultivate his confidants, and Li Zuoche is undoubtedly a very suitable candidate.

"Yes!" Zhang Er immediately took the order to go!
Li Zuoche led a troop on a rampage, trying to fight a bloody road to escape.The progress was quite smooth, but when the implementation reached the general level, it suddenly encountered strong resistance.Li Zuoche, who was struggling to fight, suddenly discovered that a powerful army had entered the battle group, blocking the way for Zili to escape.

Taking a closer look, Li Zuoche found his old friend among the crowd, Zhang Er who had met several times.In the past, Zhang Er was identified as a traitor of the Zhao state, but now he is a general under the command of Marshal Han, with great glory.It's a completely different person from the previous period. It's really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi. The world is really unpredictable.

Facing Zhang Er's resistance, Li Zuoche fought hard, and until now he still wanted to fight his way out.But he didn't know that Han Xin gave Zhang Er a death order, demanding that Li Zuoche be kept at all costs.

Watching the soldiers around him fall down one by one, Li Zuoche knew that it would be difficult for him to stand out from the encirclement today. Perhaps the only result would be to die for the country, to show his loyalty to the Zhao country, and to comfort his grandfather's spirit in heaven .

Li Zuoche rode his horse to fight, completely disregarding his status as a general, thinking about one thing in his heart, that is to kill the soldiers of the Han army.As for his own safety, he didn't care at all, and all the extra vital parts were exposed to the butcher's knives of the soldiers of the Han army.The result is nothing more than a word of death, and it is an honor to die on the battlefield as a soldier.

But this was not the case. Li Zuoche discovered an indisputable fact after killing many people. Whenever the sword of the Han army approached his body, he would avoid it unnaturally. It was obvious that the Han army deliberately wanted to let him go.

When the number of soldiers around him became less and less, Li Zuoche clearly realized that the Han army wanted to capture him alive.Being a prisoner is not a good feeling, especially for a man with a backbone like Li Zuoche, who would rather die in battle than surrender and be captured.

Li Zuoche's mood was incomparably solemn, Zhao Guo was finished, as a courtier of Zhao Guo, what face would he have left in this world?Li Zuoche couldn't help but sneered, feeling extremely sad, and finally gently raised the long sword in his hand, and laid it across his neck.

Zhang Er saw it from a distance, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He didn't expect Li Zuoche to be so stubborn that he thought of killing him.It was really too stubborn, and at the same time, he sighed that Zhao Wangxie was really blind. Such a loyal and brave general could not be reused, but he wanted to favor those villains.Throughout the ages, the rise and fall of how many dynasties and princes have been like this. Many lessons are in front of us, but they have not attracted enough attention.

At this moment, Zhang Er thought that it was not those, what he cared about was the task that Han Xin entrusted to him.Han Xin repeatedly emphasized that Li Zuoche's life must be saved. He knew how much Han Xin admired Li Zuoche.If it was a corpse that was brought back, it would be difficult for him to explain himself to Han Xin.

It was already too late when Zhang Er wanted to shout out, and just when his heart was in his throat, a feathered arrow came through the air...
