Chapter 281: The way out of Qi army

In the wing room of Dongchaoyang County, Han Qing opened his eyes from his coma. Han Qing tried hard to sit up and shook his head. He remembered that before he was in a coma, he received a war report that Linzi City was broken, so he shouted to the outside: "Come on, come on!"

Wu Lie, who was guarding outside, pushed the door open and saw Han Qing who was already awake, and was overjoyed. He walked to Han Qing and said, "General, are you awake? That's great!"

Han Qing stared at Wu Lie and said, "Wu Lie, I will ask you, what's going on in Linzi now?"

"This..." Wu Lie hesitated. Now that Han Qing is in this situation, he really doesn't know whether he should tell Han Qing about such a thing.

"Say it, say it quickly!" Han Qing said loudly.

Wu Lie gritted his teeth and said, "General, the war report came from Linzi, saying that the Zhao army broke the city, the king, the prince and the royal family all died for their country, leaving only a group of old, weak, women and children!" At this point, Wu Lie lowered his head.

After hearing this, Han Qing felt dizzy and collapsed on the bed. Seeing this, Wu Lie hurriedly supported Han Qing and asked, "General, how do you feel? Do you want to call a military doctor?"

Han Qing ignored Wu Lie, silently pushed Wu Lie's hand away, and cried loudly: "King, I'm late, why can't you wait any longer? I'll arrive soon!"

Han Qing spent his whole life fighting for Qi, and it can be said that Han Qing had devoted his entire life to Qi. Now, he suddenly heard that Qi was destroyed and could not let go.

Seeing Han Qing so sad, Wu Lie comforted him: "The General is mourning. Now is not the time to be sad. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the East Chaoyang are waiting for the General's orders. When we go back to the future, we still need the General to make a decision. At this time, you must cheer up."

Now the 50,000 Qi troops in Dongchaoyang are like rootless duckweeds. The future is confused and everything needs Han Qing to make a decision. If Han Qing cannot cheer up at this time, he will have to wait to die.

Hearing Wu Lie's words, Han Qing woke up suddenly and thought to himself: Yes, there are still 50,000 troops here. Now it's time to be confused and he is counting on himself.

So Han Qing put away his crying and said, "General Wu, what's the situation in the army now?"

Wu Lie shook his head and said, "General, it's very bad. After hearing that Linzi City was captured, the army began to panic. In addition, the war report came this morning, and Zhuo County had been captured by the Zhao army. The three generals, He Ji, He Ji, and Shangguan Qingyang, all died for their country. The Zhao army had left Zhuo County and came to Chaoyang East. After hearing this, the soldiers in the army became even more panicked."

It was really raining all night, and the boat was on the verge of wind. Linzi and Zhuo County were successively destroyed, which was a major blow to the Qi army. Han Qing really didn't know what to do at this moment.

Han Qing thought for a while and said, "You go and call the two military advisors, and you will say that you will have important matters to discuss." Deciding where the army will go is a big deal. Even though Han Qing was the commander of the army, even Han Qing did not dare to make a decision at this time. He decided to ask Kuai Li and Zhuang Buxi, two think tanks in the army, to discuss.

Wu Lie responded to the promise, then walked out to find Kuai Li and Zhuang Buxi. Soon, Kuai Li and Zhuang Buxi, who received the news, came to Han Qing's room. When they saw the awake Han Qing, they were all overjoyed and said, "Great General, you have finally woken up."

Han Qing nodded and said, "I have worked hard for two military advisors these days. I didn't want to bother the two military advisors in this matter, but it is important and related to the fate of the entire army. Han Qing was not good at making decisions without authorization, so he asked the two military advisors to discuss it together."

Kuai Li and Zhuang Buxi nodded. They also knew what Han Qing wanted to say. In fact, they have thought a lot in the past few days and have roughly a unified opinion. Zhuang Buxi said: "General, my subordinates have analyzed with Kuai Junshi in the past few days. Now our army has only three roads to go."

"Oh, let's talk about all three roads." Han Qing knew that it would be impossible for him to have no idea if he didn't have such wise men.

Zhuang Buxi said: "For one thing, now that our great Qi group has no leader, we are willing to support the general as king, and continue to lead the military and civilians of the Great Qi to deal with the Zhao army to the end."

Han Qing thought for a while and said, "It's not appropriate. Now that the enemy is large and we are few, what we want to think about is not how to fight against the Zhao army, but to save the lives of the soldiers. At the same time, he found a way to rescue the royal family in Linzi City and preserve the Han bloodline. In addition, this general is just a distant branch of the royal family. How can we inherit the throne?"

Of course, Han Qing wanted to fight the Zhao army to the end, but now his strength is not allowed. In addition, the last bloodline of the Han family is in the hands of Zhao army, so Han Qing could not raise the idea of ​​continuing to fight. He is now thinking about how to rescue the Han family.

Kuai Li and Zhuang Buxi also knew that Han Qing could not accept this suggestion. They worked with Han Qing for many years. They knew very well that Han Qing was a person who was foolish and loyal to the clan. Now that he was asked to inherit the throne and continue fighting with the Zhao army, how could he agree? Besides, except for those who died in battle, the entire Han clan was in the hands of the Zhao army. Of course, there were some desolate and outdated tributaries outside. However, Han Qing did not think they were royal people.

"The second is to ask the Zhao army to surrender, and to be famous as a general, he will be sure to enter Zhao in the future. In this way, the lives of the soldiers of the entire army can be protected, and the lives of the royal family in Linzi City may be protected." Zhuang Buxi continued.

"No!" Who knew that as soon as I said this method, Han Qing refused without even thinking about it, and said, "The State of Zhao is a great enemy of life and death. How many children of our Great Qi died at the hands of the Zhao army, let alone the Zhao army killed the king and prince of our Great Qi, as well as a group of Han clan relatives. If I, Han Qing, ask the Zhao army to surrender, how can you let me have the face to meet my ancestors of our Great Qi and the clan relatives who died in vain in the future?"

"This, since that's the case, there is only this last way." Zhuang Buxi and Kuai Li did not expect Han Qing to react so much to this suggestion, so they quickly said the third way and said: "The third is to defect to other countries and use the power of other countries to fight against Zhao. However, in this way, it is probably impossible to rescue the royal family in Linzi City. However, with a general in one day, Zhao State would not dare to harm these elderly, weak, women and children, and there may not be no hope of restoring the country in the future!"

"This..." Han Qing hesitated a little and had to admit that this third method was the most acceptable to Han Qing. However, after all, Han Qing had served Qi for the rest of his life. Now he suddenly asked him to switch to another country. It was really difficult for him to accept it for a while. But at this time, Han Qing had to be perverted, because if he didn't make a decision, the Zhao army would come over.

"Then I wonder which country the two military advisors thought would be better to join?" Han Qing thought about it and still felt that the third method was more reliable. After all, he did not regret his ancestors and did not lead tens of thousands of soldiers to die. If he really had the chance to restore the country in the future, he would be worthy of the ancestors of the Han family.

Zhuang Buxi and Kuai Li were overjoyed when they heard this. They were really afraid that Han Qing would reject all the third suggestion. If this was the case, they would have to wait to die.

Zhuang Buxi said: "Looking at the world, only Deng and Qin are capable of competing with Zhao. However, when we go to Qin, we need to cross the entire Central Plains. I am afraid that before we arrive at Qin, these tens of thousands of troops will be surrounded and suppressed by the Zhao army until we die, so we can only choose Deng. Although the counties in the southern part of our Great Qi have been swept away by the Zhao army, the Zhao army has not had many troops left in the south, so our army can go south to Pei County, borrow the way from Wei, and contact the Deng army in Yingchuan and Runan."

"But Deng State is a thousand miles away from Dongchaoyang, and Wei State may not necessarily lend us a way." Han Qing hesitated a little. Although it is good to defect to Deng State, is it really appropriate to go to Deng State as far as Qin State?

Kuai Li nodded and said, "General, although Deng State is thousands of miles away, there is basically no main force of Zhao army in the south. With the strength of our army and the reputation of the general, going south to Pei County is not a problem. As for whether Wei State will use the passage, there is no need to worry at all. As long as we send envoys to Deng State in advance, once Deng State is willing to accept us, Wei State will not dare to stop it."

Han Qing thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, it's better, no matter how late, let Military Advisor Kuai go to Runan. When he saw the head general of Runan in Deng State, he would set off immediately, so as not to have too many dreams. The Japanese generals of Ming Dynasty would also lead the army south."
