Chapter 703 Finally Kneeling

He knew that if he ran away like this, he would never have the chance to come back. No matter how great the cause of restoring the country or the dream of conquering the world would be saved.

He knew even more that Cao Cao was a ruthless character. After he fled to Qin, all his generals and subordinates would be snatched away by Cao Cao, and he would be under house arrest by Cao Cao and become a so-called king of Shu in name only.

Even Cao Cao would regard him as a threat, and on an unknown night, he would quietly poison him to death and completely erase him from this world.

"I'm not willing to give up, I'm really unwilling to give up..." Goujian sighed to the sky, extremely sad and angry.

On both sides, no one sympathized with him, Li Yan, Zhang Song, Wang Ping and other subordinates abandoned him and fled first.

In the end, only Zhang Ren and Fa Zheng were left beside him, one of the military generals he trusted the most, and the other was the most trusted adviser.

"King, the situation is over. Let's go. If we don't leave, it will be too late." Fa Zheng frowned and sighed and persuaded.

"Let's go?" Goujian turned around, looked at him in pain, and asked with a bitter face: "Fa Xiaozhi, tell me, do you still have hope of killing me again when I leave?"

Fa Zheng sighed again, without saying a word.

Silence represents a default, that is to say, even Fazheng believes that his hope of restoring the country will be shattered.

"Why should I leave? Do you want me to live under Cao Cao's entire life and endure humiliation and live without any worries until Cao Cao was destroyed by the pottery thieves. In the end, I will die humiliatedly under the knife of the pottery thieves?" Gou Jian asked grief and anger.

Fa Zheng's body was shocked, and his speech was stagnant for a while, and he didn't know what to say.

Zhang Ren advised hard: "King, as long as you live, there will be a glimmer of hope. If the king dies here today, everything will be over."

Goujian was indifferent.

Zhang Ren had no choice but to persuade: "Goujian slept on firewood and tasted gall, and finally became a hegemony. The king was a hero of a generation. Even if he was temporarily entrusted to Cao Cao, what if he endured humiliation and lived a life of silence? With the strength of the king, why worry about not being able to repeat Goujian's miracle."

"Goujian, Goujian..."

He silently recited the name of the ancient man, and suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart, feeling that he was so familiar with the name, just like that person was his previous life.

"Have you endured humiliation and survived..." Gou Jian murmured to himself, the determination in his eyes was shaken, as if a certain belief had ignited again.

At this moment, the Wei army had already rolled in front of them, and the vanguard was less than thirty steps away from them.

At this time, Fa Zheng finally couldn't hold on anymore. He bowed his hand and said helplessly: "Master, Zheng has done his best to embrace the king's kindness. Shu Zheng still has great ambitions and will not be able to live and die together with the king. Take care of him."

After saying that, Fa Zheng turned his head and drove away without looking back.

At the last moment, at the time of life and death, Fazheng chose to abandon him and escape alone.

"Fa Zheng, you-"

Goujian felt a cramped in his heart and his spirit was hit hard in an instant. Obviously, he did not expect that his most trusted adviser would choose to abandon him at this moment of life and death.

It was not until this time that he suddenly realized that in Fazheng's eyes, he was just a tool to realize his grand plan and ambition. Once he lost his use, Fazheng would abandon it without hesitation and look for another "tool".

Goujian was so angry that he was about to vomit blood. He shouted in grief and angry: "Fa Zheng, Fa Zheng, I trust you so much, you dare..."

"King, now is not the time to complain. The enemy is about to approach. If you don't leave, it's over." Zhang Ren roared, interrupting Goujian's grief.

Gou Jian was suddenly awakened and looked up. The Wei army vanguard had rushed to more than twenty steps, and ran over his soldiers and fled in the wind.

After only a few seconds of hesitation, Goujian's belief in survival still defeated his determination to die. He gritted his teeth and turned around and was about to escape.

Zhang Ren also breathed a sigh of relief and quickly turned around and protected Goujian and fled northward.

Just as they had just escaped more than ten steps, Li Guang, who was striking behind them, had already locked in Goujian's place.

"Liu Zhang, you can't run away." Li Guang did not hesitate at all, bent his bow and arrow, and while running, aiming at Goujian who was nearly thirty steps away.

A few seconds later, Li Guang loosened his fingertips, and the sharp arrow broke through the air and shot straight into his back.

Gou Jian was not good at martial arts and didn't notice it at all. A cold arrow was attacking behind him. Li Guang had a unique skill in shooting. The arrow was so powerful and fast that he could not realize it even when the arrow was approaching.

"King, be careful!" Zhang Ren roared, and rushed to slash at the incoming arrow, trying to save Goujian.

He was still one step late.

The sharp arrow, like the wind, flashed through his blade, but was scraped to the tail wing by his blade, slightly changed the route, and still headed straight for Goujian.

puff!

With a scream, a blood flew into the air. Li Guang's arrow that was so close to him hit Gou Jian's right back fiercely.

Goujian had an injury on his butt and was not sitting steadily on the horse's back. He suddenly shot a sharp arrow, which instantly hurt his head and his head were dizzy and lost his balance. He screamed and fell from the horse's back.

"King--" Zhang Ren screamed in shock, his face changed drastically. He was eager to turn around and turn back to rescue Goujian.

Just as he turned around, the large Wei army rushed up and tied up Gou Jian to capture him alive.

Immediately afterwards, a general of Wei, holding a golden spear in his hand, passed by Li Guang like the wind, rushed towards him, and shouted like thunder in his mouth: "Zhang Ren dog thief, Xiang Yu is here, leave a dog's head!"

Overlord Xiang Yu arrived.

The remaining fighting spirit in Zhang Ren's heart was instantly killed by Xiang Yu and easily shattered.

He knew very well how powerful Xiang Yu was in martial arts. He was definitely not an opponent. If he fought forcibly, he would have a way out.

Besides, Liu Zhang fell off his horse and was captured alive by the Wei army. Not to mention that he could not fight against Xiang Yu, even if he could defeat Xiang Yu, he would definitely not be able to save Liu Zhang.

The situation is hopeless. Even if the ancient war god Chi You reborn, he would probably not be able to rescue Liu Zhang among these thousands of troops.

"King, Zhang Ren has done his best, but unfortunately God doesn't bless me, Da Shu! If I die here today, who will avenge you in the future? It's not that I, Zhang Ren, live, I want to avenge you and avenge our Great Shu Kingdom..."

In a flash, Zhang Ren experienced a fierce ideological struggle in his heart, and finally successfully convinced himself, gritted his teeth, turned around, and fled wildly.

"Zhang Ren, why do you abandon me? Why..." Goujian, who was pressed to the ground, looked at Zhang Ren who was running away and screamed in grief and resentment.

The soldiers of the Wei army were ruthlessly dragged away the wounded Goujian.

The killing continues.

Zhang Ren and other Shu generals scattered their money, and could only be mixed with the defeated Qin army and scattered all the way.

The royal flag of the Great Wei led the 100,000 Wei troops, and they killed them all the way and chased them to the front line of the Qin camp.

The defeated Cao Cao rushed to the camp and found that the food and grass in the camp had indeed been burned out. Cao Xiuzheng and Han Xin and Huaxiong's surprise attack troops fought in the camp.

Cao Cao did not dare to take back the camp, so he passed by the camp and fled towards the silence valley entrance. At the same time, he ordered Cao Xiu to give up the camp and escape with the army.

As soon as Cao Cao left, Tao Shang led a large army to kill him. After capturing the enemy camp, he immediately led the army and pursued the slashing valley.

Tao Shang also knew that it was unrealistic to kill Cao Cao in this battle. His goal was to hurt Cao Cao as much as possible and let him go back to Guanzhong to lick the wound.

The thrilling Cao Cao fled all the way to the slanting valley. The valley road was difficult to move forward, so Cao Cao had to give up more than half of his war horses, discard his equipment, and even weapons, and flee with ease.

After nearly 10,000 casualties and abandoning tens of thousands of war horses, Cao Cao was embarrassed to throw away the Wei army's pursuers.

Cao Cao, who had become a frightened bird, ordered the plank road to burn out, and he didn't even take a breath. He ran wildly in the valley road, running towards Guanzhong, running towards Guanzhong.

When the Tao Shang saw that most of the Qin army had fled far away, the plank road was burned, and the valley was full of equipment and war horses discarded by the Qin army. These things also blocked the road and delayed the pursuit of the Wei army. He ordered the quest to stop the pursuit, and the army withdrew its troops and went to Hanzhong.

In this battle, the pottery merchant was a great victory. At this point, the entire Yizhou was completely incorporated into the territory of the Great Wei.

Yizhou has already been obtained, and Cao Cao was driven out of Hanzhong. Not only did he kill and injure more than 10,000 enemy troops, he also seized nearby horses, Liangzhou horses, and countless weapons. This battle to attack Shu was a perfect end.

The victorious pottery merchant led an army of more than 100,000 and went to Hanzhong in a mighty manner. The pottery merchant planned to go to Nanzheng, Hanzhong's capital, to rest for a few days and celebrate it well. After pacifying the people's hearts, he would set off again to return to Yejing.

In the evening of that day, the pottery merchant stepped on the corpses everywhere and arrived at the Qin army camp in Yangping Guandong.

At that time, the fire in the grain camp had been extinguished, and the Qin army's king flags had been trampled under their feet, and the Great Wei battle flags were flying around.

As soon as the Tao merchant entered the camp, he summoned Han Xin and praised him for his surprise attack.

First, he smuggled through Yinping, then attacked Dingjunshan, and then burned the Qin camp. The three surprise attacks were made possible by the pottery merchants to capture Hanzhong.

It can be said that Han Xin was the first hero of the pottery merchants to pacify Hanzhong.

In view of Han Xin's extraordinary achievements, the Tao merchant had a clear reward and punishment, so he appointed him as the general of the Western Expedition on the spot, with a fief of 5,000 households.

The official title of "Survey in the West" also means that in the future war to destroy the Western Qin, the pottery merchants would still reuse Han Xin and had high hopes for him.

Han Xin was naturally grateful and excited to the pottery merchant's reward. He immediately bowed to the ground, expressing his gratitude to the pottery merchant and willing to sacrifice himself to die to repay the pottery merchant's kindness.

After comforting Han Xin, the Tao merchant comforted and rewarded the other generals, but Li Guang was late and the last one to enter the tent.

"Old Li, you've been here late enough. Tonight's banquet, you must first have three glasses of wine." Tao Shang smiled.

As one of the earliest generals summoned, Li Guang was also considered a veteran hero of the Tao merchant. The word "Old Li" by Tao merchant also reflects his closeness to this veteran hero.

Li Guang bowed and said lightly: "Master, the reason why I came late is because I wanted to bring a gift to theMaster, and the road was delayed."

"Great gift? What big gift?" Tao Shang suddenly became interested.

Li Guang clapped his hands and ordered his subordinates to drag the tied man into the tent and throw it in front of the pottery merchant.

"This person is Liu Zhang, he is the gift he has given to the king." Li Guang pointed to the man on the ground and said proudly.

Liu Zhang...
