Chapter 984 The Oath of Three Arrows
The wound was so stinging.
It was painful, extremely painful. Even though the best doctor in Bianzhou City had cleaned, bandaged and sutured all the wounds and gave him a glass of pain relief wine, he still felt as if countless ants were biting the wounds. He felt that he seemed to be dying and would die at any time.
Since leaving Xiaoxian County, Xuzhou and joined the army, he has been in the north and south for many years and has been often injured. But even when he was in the past, he has never suffered such severe injuries. In other words, he has never suffered such humiliation, nor has he tasted such pain. After waking up, he kept coming over and asking about one thing after another to relieve the pain and the humiliation in his heart.
After making such complete preparations, even Li Keyong's one-eyed wolf was killed by him on the spot. Unexpectedly, in the end, he lost all his might and even capsized the ship in the gutter. If the guards of the Golden Spear City had not tried their best to resist the arrows for him, he would have been following in Li Ya'er's footsteps.
His face was ferocious and his eyes were fierce, like a wounded beast.
"how?"
There was a deep blood groove on Zhu Zhen's face, and his face looked equally ugly. He gasped and replied, "The loss is huge, those Shatuo dogs are still siegeing the city!"
This was indeed a moment that made all Liang army feel shame. Because of their carelessness, they were reversed at the critical moment. It was all the fault of the damn An Jinquan. Who would have thought that this was such a sinister guy who betrayed the trust of King Liang. What they even unexpected was that when the Hedong army in the camp learned that Li Keyong had died, most of the Hedong generals were captured, and even An Jinquan even dared to fight back when his brothers fell to the hands of Liang army. He could also make a counterattack plan in such a short time and quickly implemented it.
I lost Jingzhou by carelessness.
Thirty thousand Bian Army and 20 thousand Jin Army had a chaotic battle outside Bianzhou City. As a result, they were full of confidence and were imagining that they would soon annex the 20,000 elite Bian Army in Hedong were hit by a fatal blow. The Hedong Army was all crazy. They pretended to surrender and deceived the Bian Army to approach. They relaxed their vigilance. Then the crossbowman suddenly attacked and shot King Liang off the horse. Immediately afterwards, ten thousand Hedong cavalry broke out of the camp and rushed to the Bian Army array.
The moment Li Keyong was killed, many Bian troops couldn't help but have such thoughts. It turned out that Feihuzi Li Ya'er was just like this.
But when the Black Crow Army and Yier Army cavalry rushed out everywhere, and thousands of horses galloped and rushed over like a craze, many Bian troops finally understood that the Shatuo cavalry was indeed a perfect soldier under the reputation of the Shatuo cavalry.
Zhu Wen was shot down from the war horse. The Liang King's flag was cut down, and the entire Bian army camp collapsed quickly. They were stunned by the Shatuo people and defeated, and fled to Bianzhou City.
Twenty miles away, the battle in the dark night, the crazy Hedong Army actually fought the Bian army like a dog of a broken family. Twenty miles away, at least there were tens of thousands of Bian troops on the road to bury the corpses.
The Bian army fled to the city of Bianzhou. But the Jin army refused to let them go. They actually chased them straight, without siege equipment, and relying on that momentum, they took advantage of the chaos in Bianzhou and rushed into the Luocheng of Bianzhou.
If Zhu Zhen hadn't personally led a team of elite Bian Army to rush forward to block this momentum, Bianzhou City might have been taken down by the Hedong Army.
The melee has lasted all night, dawn has arrived, and the offensive between the two sides has finally slowed down.
At present, Zhu Zhen personally commanded the Bian army to defend Yacheng and began to reorganize the troops. The Jin army occupied Luocheng in an all-round way and was sweeping bloodily in the court. All the Bian army that failed to retreat into the inner city were collected and killed. Even ordinary people began to be killed by accident. Later, after the crazy Jin army completely occupied the outer city, they simply began to wash the city more violently. Massacre, robbery, "jianyin", and set fire. The prosperous Bianzhou Luocheng instantly became a hell on earth.
Zhu Wen, who woke up from a coma, was trembling with his lips. He never expected that things would become like this. Li Keyong was dead, and the Jin army was still so cruel and injured him so hard.
"Take all the Hedong generals onto the city wall and cut them all into public!"
Zhu Zhen was a little embarrassed, and he said carefully: "During the chaos last night, the captives of Hedong generals were basically taken back by the Jin army. We have already killed the remaining few in the chaos."
Zhu Wen became more and more angry when he heard that the Hedong generals were rescued.
He let the wind dry his eyes and his heart became strong. He finally understood Li Keyong's feelings when he fought against Li Jing. He was defeated repeatedly and everyone in the world laughed at him.
"Send people to the army towns to dispatch troops. I will not let them go. I will tear them apart and crush them to ashes." Although Zhu Wen was angry, his mind became more and more calm. After suffering such a big loss last night, he has calmed down now. There are nearly 20,000 elite Shatuo outside, but in Bianzhou City, there are only less than 40,000 left in all the Liang army. Although he is confident that he will defeat the Jin army outside with these tens of thousands of troops.
But Zhu Wen had to consider that the Jin army was obviously crazy, especially since they occupied the outer city of Bianzhou. At this time, using the army in Bianzhou City to fight against the Jin army, it might be a melee between the streets and alleys. Such a battle would be the most consuming force. Moreover, if it was really taken, Bianzhou City would probably be over. In addition, he had to consider another issue. Yang Fuguang had abandoned him and he had no choice but to be prepared for the Yang thief not far from him. In addition, Li Jing in the east was just a river. If he and the Hedong Army fought for both losses here, both Yang Fuguang and Li Jing might come to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
After calming down, Zhu Wen had already figured out that he could not rush to fight with the Jin army in Bianzhou. First, the Bian army was defeated yesterday and morale was greatly reduced today. Second, he had to keep this elite army. The best way was to defend the inner city and then mobilize troops from Bian Zhengxu and other places to deal with the Jin army. When he thought that Li Keyong was dead, these Hedong army went crazy for a while, but they could not think that 20,000 troops could force his Xuanwu. Sooner or later, they would still leave by themselves. Since he could not eat this Jin army, let them leave simply. Now, the biggest enemy in his eyes was not the 20,000 Jin army, but Yang Fuguang and Li Jing who planned all this behind the scenes. The Jin army was just a group of wild wolves who lost their head wolf.
Although he kept reminding himself to restrain himself from calming down, Zhu Wen was still so angry that he felt heartbroken.
"Go and invite Deputy Commander Gao to come right away, there is something important to discuss." Li Keyong almost killed the geese and let the geese peck at him. Next, neither Yang Fuguang nor Li Jing could be dealt with alone. Since he had already boarded Tian Lingzi's ship, he would have to rely on Tian Lingzi's power at the moment.
Bianzhou Luocheng. In a luxurious mansion.
A group of Jin army generals gathered together, and there was no joy in capturing the outer city of Bianzhou, nor the joy of killing more than 10,000 Bian dogs. At this time, the atmosphere in the hall was gloomy and everyone was plain.
A pair of extremely precious golden nanmu coffins were placed in the middle, and Li Keyong's head was restrained. Since Li Keyong's body was still in the hands of the Bian army, the Jin army had to use paper to stitch together with the head. An Jinquan was the host of the funeral and the chief general of more than 10,000 Jin army.
In front of the coffin, Cao, who was accompanying the army, brought Li Cunxu to mourn meditation and mourning to kneel in front of the coffin. On one side, there were Li Kexiu, Li Kening and other brothers of Li Keyong, as well as Li Cunxian, Li Sien, Li Siben and others who were wearing gauze. The soldiers of Yi'er's army were nominally the adopted sons of Li Keyong.
After the memorial ceremony was completed, An Jinquan asked Cao to take Li Cunxu to the seat and then brought out a black box.
Li Cunxu was Li Keyong's third son, also a concubine. This time Li Keyong went south and brought all three sons with him, Li Luoluo, Li Tingluo, Li Cunxu. The oldest Li Luoluo was seven years old, Li Tingluo and Li Cunxu was four years old. Originally, Li Keyong was worried that the child would not be safe to stay in Taiyuan, but secondly, he wanted his sons to see the war early to cultivate their son's courage. When he entered the city today, he brought Li Luoluo and Li Tingluo into the city, leaving behind the youngest Li Cunxu. Originally, Li Cunxu was going to take it with him, but when he was in prison, he kept it. Who knew that this separation would become a farewell forever.
Li Keyong was killed in Bianzhou, and Li Luoluo and Li Tingluan were also killed.
At present, Li Cunxu is Li Keyong's only son.
Before, An Jinquan discussed with the brothers Li Kexiu, Li Cunzhang, Li Sien and others. An Jinquan meant. Originally, he wanted to choose Li Kexiu to replace Li Keyong. However, Li Kexiu was not Li Keyong's brother, but the son of Li Keyong's uncle. Although Li Kening, Li Kerou and others were Li Keyong's brothers, they had no prestige in the army, and they were not old. In terms of age, Li Kexiu was older than them. If he was prestige, he would not be as good as Li Kexiu. However, in terms of bloodline, he was not as good as Li Keyong's son Li Cunxu.
In the end, Li Kexiu made the decision, believing that the position of Shatuo's lord should be inherited by Li Cunxu. Although Li Kening was a little dissatisfied in secret, he saw that everyone agreed and was in the enemy's territory at this time, so he did not object in the end.
Now, four-year-old Li Cunxu is sitting in the position of the commander of Shatuo, looking at his uncles and righteous brothers with some strangeness.
"Young Master, King Jin was murdered by the despicable Zhu Wen, do you know?" An Jinquan looked at Li Cunxu and asked.
"Murder means that my father will never get up from the coffin again, right?" Li Cunxu asked with some childish words.
An Jinquan nodded, and he picked up the black box and sent it to Li Cunxu.
He said with a serious expression: "The King of Jin was murdered by Zhu A San and was caught in dozens of arrows. Before his death, the King of Jin pulled out three arrows from his body and asked me to repost these three arrows with the last words to the young master." As he said that, An Jinquan took out the first arrow from it, which was stained with purple-black blood. "This arrow was taken from the King of Jin's chest. The King of Jin asked me to hand over this arrow to you and save it. This arrow is the last order of the King of Jin to you, to attack Zhu Wen and conquer Bianzhou."
Li Cunxu was a little nervous and scared by An Jinquan's serious face and tone, so he took the arrow carefully. An Jinquan took the arrow away and did not give it to him immediately. "The young master took this arrow and sweared to the body of King Jin. He would have to attack Zhu Wen and conquer Bianzhou in the future!"
"I swear that I will attack Zhu Wen and conquer Bianzhou in the future."
An Jinquan nodded and took out the second arrow: "This arrow hit the abdomen of King Jin. King Jin asked you to save some arrows and swear that you will have to conquer Daibei in the future and regain the foundation of the Shatuo tribe in Yunshuo."
"I swear that I will conquer Daibei in the future and regain the foundation of Shatuo."
An Jinquan looked at Li Cunxu's serious look, nodded with relief, and took out the last blood-stained arrow, "This arrow once shot into the leg of King Jin. King Jin asked you to hold this arrow and swear. You will be determined to defeat the Shatuo clan's mortal enemy Li Jing for the rest of your life!"
"I swear that I will destroy Shatuo's enemy Li Jing for the rest of my life!"
An Jinquan packed these three arrows with a silk quiver and solemnly handed them to Li Cunxu for preservation. "Save these three arrows well, and after returning to Hedong, put them into the ancestral temple. When the young master fulfilled his oath and led his troops to fight, he brought these three arrows with him. After he finished, he would send them back to the ancestral temple to comfort the spirit of the King of Jin in heaven."
Li Cunxu took the arrow without understanding and hugged it tightly in his arms.
After doing this, An Jinquan took out the imitation Shatu crown used by Li Ke and put it on Li Cunxu's head.
At this moment, the position of the leader of the Shatuo clan was transferred from Li Keyong to the four-year-old Li Cunxu. Although this was just a child who had just been weaned, in the eyes of the generals, this was also the most suitable heir. Otherwise, if anyone else would probably be dissatisfied with each other. But now, Shatuo can no longer withstand internal strife.
According to the agreement, Li Cunxu inherited the position of Hedong Jiedu and King of Jin. Although this still requires permission from the court, no one thinks that the court will disagree. After Li Cunxu's status was established, after the Shatuo generals agreed, it was decided that Li Kexiu would serve as the deputy Jiedushi of Hedong Town, with Li Cunzhang as the marching Sima and An Jinquan as the marching judge. The positions of the generals who died in the battle were immediately taken over by other surviving generals. Although An Jinquan's position was not high, he had become the actual decision-maker of more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and also served as the commander of the Black Crow Army.
Although Li Cunzhang was qualified to An Jinquan, he had no objection to this. He looked at An Jinquan, who was full of generals, and asked worriedly: "The dog-dream swine fever is now huddled in the Tooth City and cannot avoid fighting. Although we have taken the outer city, it is difficult to take down Tooth City again. Are we considering to withdraw back to Hedong first?"
An Jinquan shook his head: "Now is the time to avenge the King of Jin, how can you withdraw your troops easily?"
"But we went deep alone, with only these more than 10,000 troops, I'm afraid it's hard to deal with swine fever."
Chapter completed!
