ps: There is another chapter at 11:30

Tian Ben was a little dazed when he woke up. He didn't remember what happened after he returned from the injury. He only remembered that someone handed over the wine, and he took it and poured it into his mouth. It tasted weird. Maybe he wanted to forget the pain of the wound. He still drank it dry. Then he passed out, and when he woke up, it was already dark, Guo Liu was changing his dressing, and the **** arrow shaft on his chest was nowhere to be seen.

This also indirectly shows that the anesthetic prepared by Bian Que is so strong that it can make the eight-footed strong man stay awake.

Although the wound had been treated, Tian Ben could still feel as if flames were licking at his chest, and the flesh withered in the fire. He had been injured often in the past, but he had never tasted such pain, so close to death.

Guo Liu stretched out a finger to rub the wound, the pus and blood gushing out made him wrinkle his nose, and Tian Ben was also gnashing his teeth to endure the pain.

"Master's life is to stay, but there is no way to prevent the infection of the fine gu. The rot will spread, and the flesh and blood near the wound has deteriorated and must be removed."

Compared to before, this is just a simple treatment, first wash with boiling wine, then use a knife to dig out the rot, Tian Ben screamed loudly, and hammered the bed with both hands. Once, once, again, the aftermath was finally over. He applied Bian Que's special medicine paste for treating golden sores, and instructed: "The medicine should be changed every day. These days, you need to rest indoors and not move around."

Leaving the restless Tian Ben to lie down was more uncomfortable than killing him, but because of the injury and the rising fever, he didn't have the strength to toss, so he could only close his eyes obediently.

Vaguely, he heard Guo Yu whispering to someone at the door: "It's a post-operative complication. It's not serious, but I can't tell. I can only hope that his body can handle it."

"Is that the lord?" Tian Ben struggled to get up, but was pushed back by the Yulin guards sent to guard him, and the voices outside disappeared, everything seemed to be his hallucination.

Tian Ben has already learned that it was Zhao Wuxi who gave him blood transfusions despite his daughter's body to save his life. Tian Ben was loyal to the Zhao family, and he was even more grateful when he heard that his life was exchanged by the lord with blood. .

"The kindness of the lord, I will not be able to repay even if I die..."

For the next few days, he was half asleep and half awake, and occasionally he could hear the marching pace and the rallying horn. Years of military life made him jump up subconsciously, and he was about to take his sword, but he was powerless. fell back.

His high fever never subsided, but the wound gradually healed. On the fifth day, Guo finally announced that he was in no danger and could go out. Tian Ben waited extremely impatiently, and rushed out of the camp immediately, only to see that the landing point by the river was no longer the dense Zhao army, only a few soldiers, and there were constantly crying people from all directions. Going to the other side, looking at the clothes of those people, they should be people in the Hexi area.

"Where are these people going?"

Someone recognized him. Compared with the past, there was more longing and admiration in their eyes, because Tian Ben was rescued by Shangqing's blood, and they replied, "I want to send it to Louxian."

Louxian is the closest Zhao clan to Hexi, but it is also two hundred miles away. The hard work along the way is enough for these people in Hexi.

"Where is the lord?" Tian Ben walked around and found that the combat troops had basically left. He was afraid that he would miss the battle, so he hurriedly walked back and asked the subordinates who were guarding him.

"The lord is in Shaoliang..."

Tian Ben was shocked: "Shaoliang was defeated so quickly!?"

...

When Tian Ben came to Shaoliang, he realized that it was not Shaoliang that had been captured, but that more than 10,000 people from the Zhao clan had built a mountain in front of Shaoliang City, set up camp and confronted the heavily guarded city head.

Half of the Zhi clan's troops are here, and Qin State also sent troops from Yongdi, totaling 8,000. A few days ago, the Zhao army lost more than 1,000 when they crossed the Dragon Gate. There were still 7,000 guards in the city. The total sum is only more than 10,000. According to the theory of ten encirclement, it is not enough to surround the city.

Zhao Wuxi was not in a hurry. He let the cavalry go around to loot the population and **** them to Louxian, the territory of the Zhao family. The townships around Shaoliang were immediately empty. Nearly 10,000 people went to Qin with the Zhi family last year, and they changed it once. After becoming a citizen, he is now forced to return to his "homeland".

At the same time, he also asked Lu Ban to lead the craftsmen to work day and night. Tall siege towers and trebuchets with deeper roots and taller are slowly being built. Once completed, they will be as high as 30 feet! It is the most striking building among the Zhao army camps.

Just as Zhao Wuxi was bathing in the afterglow of the sunset under the wooden mechanical monster, and looking at the city of Shaoliang, which looked like something in his palm, Tian Ben came over to plead guilty.

A white blood-seeking bandage bound his chest, and a bundle of thorns with thorns was tied with a rope on his back. He knelt down on the ground from a long distance, walked over on his knees, and said with a bow of his head, "Tian Ben, the sinner, will survive the hardship. I have come to see your lord, and ask your lord to convict."

Zhao Wuxi didn't pretend to be angry because of the injury on his body, and he didn't look back. He said coldly: "If you die like this, I have to sacrifice you and Wu Jing together as the loyal soul of Yuntai. Now that you are not dead, living sin is inevitable, where is the judge?"

With a grim face, the military judge wearing a black Xiezhi officer came over, and Zhao Wuxi pointed to his nose and announced Tian Ben's guilt.

"If you don't obey the general's orders, you are greedy for merit, you are defeated in battle, and you lose more than 100 soldiers. What is the crime according to the law?"

"He who commits a serious crime should be executed! The second one will be deprived of his position and title, and he will atone for his crime with money, silk and food."

Zhao Wuxi quickly made a decision: "Nian has made outstanding achievements in the past, and I will spare you from dying. From today onwards, Tian Ben will be removed from the post of division commander, the title of the next doctor will be reduced to sergeant, and he will be confiscated of all his fields and houses in Lu. mansion."

Righteousness is righteousness, punishment is punishment, and public and private are clearly defined.

Tian Ben was convinced, and bowed his head again: "Even if Tian Ben becomes a soldier again, he is willing to be the lord's pawn."

He raised his head and looked at Shaoliang, the city that made him humiliated, and said to the battle: "If the lord attacks Shaoliang, Tian Ben would like to be the vanguard and climb the city first! Kill the enemy and atone for the shame!"

Zhao Wuxi glanced at him and said, "With your injury, I'm afraid that you will make another contribution to the enemy's army, so I'd better go back and recuperate first, not to mention..."

He looked at the long shadow outlined by the setting sun on the Shaoliang city wall, stretched out his hand and patted the trebuchet that was only half-built, and said with a smile: "When the striker falls, it is also my fault that I underestimate the enemy, Zhao's own bow and crossbow machine Chang, since the Qin people are stubborn, why bother with them. Besides, the guests I waited for have not arrived yet, and the 'dishes' of the 'banquet' have not been prepared properly. For the time being, let the remaining members of the Zhi clan in Shaoliang City live for a while, ten days After that, it's not too late to attack!"

...

"Zhao Wuxi will stop the army under Liangcheng and will not move forward anymore?"

When he heard the news, Pu, the eldest son of the great concubine of the Qin state, had a happy expression on his face.

The place where Zipu Jiangqi is located is called "Zheng County" (Huaxian, Shaanxi), which is the hometown of Zheng people, and the place where Duke Huan of Zheng was originally sealed, also called "Xizheng". The difference between the Southern Zheng phase.

This place is based on Taihua Mountain in the past, and Jingshui River and Weihe River in the back. It controls the fortress of Taolin on the left and the pass of Lantian on the right. It is the mouthpiece of the eastern part of the Qin State, and the place where those who win by military will come out. , with far-reaching intentions. To the north, he can support Shaoliang and Dali, and to the east, he can also attack the Wei army who is heading south from Fenglingdu with the defenders of the Taolin Fortress.

But now, Qin State is caught in a trilemma: first, the Wei army of more than 20,000 people crossed Puban forcibly and captured the "Wangcheng" by the river, and then moved towards the southern stronghold of the Zhi clan, "Fu clan", as long as the Fu clan is removed, Dali City will be exposed to their edge!

On the other hand, more than 10,000 people of the Zhao family also crossed the Dragon Gate, defeated the river bank defenders led by Zuo Shuchang and Zhiguo, and advanced to Shaoliang. At the same time, Wei Han also attacked Taolinsai from the east and west of Fenglingdu and the main pillar, hoping to get through this dangerous road.

The Jin people attacked Qin in three ways, but Zipu was able to transfer only 30,000 troops from Yongdu and the counties. Of course, Hexi must be defended, but the question is where should the troops be deployed? It became the most difficult choice for the commander.

It is good to say that the fortress of Taolin, where the terrain is dangerous, one husband is the gate, and ten thousand people can't open it. The Qin people also took advantage of the civil war in Jin, and there was no owner outside the river. Just built a little pass, the people of Jin came. There they can be besieged by Wei and Han to contain their forces. The main battlefields are Shaoliang and Dali.

Now that he heard that Zhao's troops were under Liangcheng, Zipu was overjoyed, and his brows, which had been twisted into pimples a few days ago, were also untied.

Because Qin Boning was unwell and could not go on the expedition in person, Zhou, the Prince of Qin, who accompanied the army to inspire his soldiers, asked, "Sir, are you going to save Shaoliang?"

Zipu restrained his expression and said, "Why does the prince think so?"

The concubine of the Qin state is very powerful, and the prince has to give three points of courtesy. The prince Zhou said: "I have heard people say that Shaoliang is the pillar of the heart of Hexi. If Shaoliang is lost, Hexi will not be protected..."

The prince's knowledge is limited... Zi Pu sighed in his heart. Qin has not had such heroes as Duke Xiang, Duke Wen, and Duke Mu for many years. How many years has the National Guard escort? Without the generation of him and Zihu, wouldn't the future Qin State be completely suppressed and beaten by the Jin State, falling into a situation of poverty and weakness?

But in any case, we have to overcome this big crisis first, and Qin people have a future!

He smiled and said: "The prince's words are not wrong. Shaoliang is indeed the largest city in Hexi with the largest population. Whoever has less Liang is equivalent to getting half of Hexi. But the prince, with Zhiguo and Zuo Shuchang, are both civil and military. Zhao Jun wanted to capture Shaoliang, but it was not so easy. The other generation did not take a detour to attack Dali with the Wei army. It can be seen that there was a gap between the three Qing Dynasty in Jin. In addition, the fortress of Taolin could not be captured for a long time, and the main force of the Wei army was If we can annihilate it, the Jin people's offensive will retreat, after all, attacking Hexi is only beneficial to the Wei family, so why should Zhao Han bother to benefit others?"

Prince Zhou suddenly realized, but he didn't know that there was another reason Zipu didn't say clearly.

Originally, after Zipu returned from the battle of Chu, he felt that he had defeated Sun Wu, Wu Wang Helu, and Wu Zixu~lightnovelpub.net~ The best soldier in the world was also defeated by the five hundred Cheng Qin divisions. In his whole life, he never wanted to fight for Qin hegemony. He only wanted to protect himself. He lived in secluded Yongzhou to suppress Rong and Di. It would be difficult for him to meet a strong enemy again.

Unexpectedly, from ten years ago, there was a name that kept echoing in his ears, Zhao Wuxie, Zhao Wuxie, Zhao Wuxie... There were very few people mentioned at first, but gradually, as his power grew, The bigger and bigger, the more victories, everyone is talking about the new head of the Zhao family, the new Shangqing of Jin. Zipu was also feeling the pressure. He knew that in his lifetime he had a powerful enemy much younger than himself!

Now, he is here, under Shaoliang City.

Zipu would rather lead the main force to a decisive battle with the Wei army than go to Shaoliang to touch Zhao's bad head. After all, the halo of Zhao's military pawn's "invincibility in the field" is too dazzling. Compared with this, Wei Han has become a soft persimmon. Easier to hold.

However, Zhao Jun still has the reputation of "invincible attack", Shaoliang, can he defend it?

No longer thinking about these useless things, Zipu stabbed the sword on the map, where the Jingshui turned: "The army will advance eastward today, forcing the Wei army, or return to Puban! Or fight Qin in Dali!"
