Chapter 88 Li Qin 5
The entire Xianyang Yuan was a battlefield, the tomb of King Huiwen of Qin and the south of Xianyang City were only a part of the entire battlefield. In Zhang Han's plan, the Tuyuan, which was cut by three rivers, was about 150 miles long and about 50 miles wide, was the place where King Jing was captured.
It doesn't matter if King Huiwen of Qin escaped, but if he escaped by the Weishui Bridge in Xianyang City. Only the Zhou army guarded the river passes, and King Jing could not fly. Although Zhang Han was young, he was very old-fashioned. In order to win the trust of Zhao Zheng, some things had to be guaranteed, which made Zhao Zheng, who was unwilling to tell him this.
The sun is approaching, and the moon is gone. From time to time, the moans of injured soldiers endured in the dim woods. Seeing that the flames still soaring into the sky in Xianyang, Li Qi, who broke through the siege, was like a dream.
"You can't make fire at night, please eat raw." Chu Zu, who was giving the rice, handed a canned horse meat to Li Qi. This is the supper tonight.
"I dare to ask where the Marquis of Yi is? I will ask you to see Marquis of Yi to thank you for your life." Li Qi had no intention of having a meal.
"Yi Hou was seriously injured. General Gui Jing was able to see General Gui Jing if there was something wrong." The person who served the food was the baggage staff. Even the baggage staff knew that Yi Tu was caught in the arrow, and the person who commanded the entire army was Gui Jing, the cavalry general.
"Please lead the way." Li Qi was shocked by the injury. He thought it was Yi Hou who led his army to rescue him, but he didn't expect it was Gui Jing.
Once upon a time, the star of Chu army generals who made Lian Po "I think of using Zhao people" constantly emerged, and Gui Jing was one of them. Thinking of Gui Jing leading the army, Li Qi felt more at ease. However, if Gui Jing knew his thoughts, he would definitely shake his head repeatedly: Cavalry fighting, maybe Yi Tu is not as good as himself, but he can break through the army and Yi Tu is ten times better than him.
The simple one cannot be in the simple shogunate. Gui Jing, under the candlelight, was staring at the map in a daze. Since the withdrawal of the Wang Tomb, the report of the detective cavalry continued to come:
When we arrived, the direction of the valley entrance was filled with Qin troops, and the roads in the valley were no longer accessible;
In the direction of Ganquan Palace, which is the good fortune of the Qin King to sacrifice to the sky, was also covered with Qin troops, and they blocked their way to break through the upper reaches of Jingshui;
The Wei River and Jing River are full of Qin army warships. These warships still have no corners, but no matter whether they have or not, they can effectively prevent themselves from crossing the river. On the east side of the Jing River channel is the Ziwuling Pass, where there is Juyuan Pass. However, the barriers are generally defended outward rather than inward. The best route to break through from Xianyang is Ziwuling, which is the Shangjun of Qin, and grain and fodder are very easy to obtain.
Of course it is impossible to go south to Bajun. The only direction you can go is Yongcheng. Yongcheng is located west of Qishan, about 250 miles away. You have to break through the encirclement of Yongcheng to walk through the Lishui River Valley, go north along Liupan Mountain, and finally return to the Yanshi Pass and return to the Hequ land from Qingshui River.
This is the retreat route that was previously formulated, but now the entire army has abandoned its supplies and the Zhao army has not even had dry food after the encirclement. It can only be shared with the Chu army. It is difficult to withdraw from Zhao State on this grassland road that lacks supplies; and there is Qishui a hundred miles away.
'The people were born from the beginning, and they were from Juqi'. Jujiu was Jujiu, and lacquer was lacquer. The lacquer water originated from the lush Loess Plateau, which was from north to south a hundred miles west of Xianyang City and flowed into the Wei River. Compared with Jing River, lacquer water is not wide. According to information and hydrological records, the water depth at this time is less than eight feet, and the width of the narrowest part is only three meters. However, the water is not deep, the river is not wide, and the ditches are very deep.
The lacquer water flowing from the plateau is like "Y". Its northern end is divided into two rivers, and a later generation called Dabeigou on the east side is called Dabeigou. The ditch water is constantly washed away, and Tuyuan has been washed out of a deep ditch about two meters high and eight meters wide. The ditch wall is rugged. If you want to cross the river from Dabeigou, people must go down to a river two meters deep, and then climb up to a higher ditch wall on the opposite side from a river two meters deep. In this way, the infantry crossing the river is OK, but the cavalry cannot, because the war horses cannot pass.
If you cannot cross the river from Dabeigou, you can only cross the river from the south after the intersection of the two rivers of "Y". This place is called Taicheng (now Dazhuang Town, Wugong County). After crossing the river in Taicheng, you will walk northwest to Meiyang (now Famen Town, Fufeng County), then from Meiyang to Xiqi (now Qishan County), and then to Yongcheng...
The map in front of Gui Jing was only this not straight road. In this era, the Wei-level land was densely packed with trees, and the forests near Qishan in the Tang Dynasty were swept away. In addition to the forests, there were also gullies on the Tuyuan that were washed out by rivers over time. If you don’t walk on the official road, you might encounter deep ditches like Dabei Valley. If you walk on the official road, you are worried that the Qin army will be waiting for you in these cities.
Since the Qin people in Xianyang were ambushed, will the Qin people also set up an ambush on the way to retreat? Chu and Zhao jointly went out to attack Qin. Ei State leaked the news, or Zhao State leaked the news, was it Chu State or Zhao State? Although Yi Hou took the risk to rescue the Zhao army, fortunately, the remaining Zhao army was rescued. The more than 700 Zhao cavalry injured everyone increased their combat power, but what if there were Qin State and spies among them?
The lives of the fierce prince, Yihou, and more than 300 comrades made Gui Jing feel heavy. This not only requires courage, but also wisdom. He suddenly thought of Lu Gao, and it would be great if he was here.
"Greetings to General Gui!" The shogunate was too small, just a tent that was covered with light, so there was no need to inform him. Li Qi lay outside the tent and bowed his head repeatedly. He shouted: "I thank General Gui for helping him, Li Qi will definitely repay him later."
"I will repay you for helping General Guigui." After Li Qi, more than a dozen Zhao cavalry generals rushed out were bowing their heads. Without the Chu army rushing behind the formation, they had already died at the southern gate of Xianyang.
"General Li asks you to get up, all the generals asks you to get up." Gui Jing did not act or was excited, and asked Li Qi and others to get up calmly. "Everyone goes out to the frontier to kill Qin, why do you need such a great gift?"
"Let's wait..." Li Qi stood up and slapped his thighs hard, "Oh! God doesn't bless you."
His reason is funny, but this is the true thought in the Zhao people. Before the battle, the Chu army's Sima Sanbu was not auspicious, but the Zhao army's confidant was very lucky. Compared with the two, the fool knows who is the god and spirit.
Who is the fault of the gods who don’t bless you? Someone said angrily: “Sacrificing jade and silk must be faithful. If the gods do not bless you, it is the sin of the curtain door.”
There are few taboos in the words of soldiers. One said it was the crime of the curtain gate (the back door of the palace), and the other Zhao generals agreed. Gui Jing did not expect that what they asked to see was the dirty affairs of the palace, and said: "The scout reported that everyone in the radius of dozens of miles was Qin. The Qin people must have received the news that I attacked Qin, and they set up ambushing the royal tombs and the Wei River..."
It is one thing that the gods do not bless, but it is another thing that the information is missing. After hearing Gui Jing's words, Li Qi's expression darkened and said, "If the Zhao soldiers are all missing, they will be my Zhao people."
Li Qi actually admitted that the responsibility for losing secrets was on him, which made Gui Jing feel a little favorable.
"Please ask General Li to comfort his subordinates, rectify his troops, and place the wounded. The camp will be removed tomorrow morning." Gui Jing said.
"I dare to ask General Gui, where our army will go tomorrow morning..." someone asked.
"Irregular!" Li Qi shouted. "From today, all the soldiers of our army will obey General Gui. Wherever General Gui wants to go, he will go."
Li Qi handed over the command of the entire Zhao army to Gui Jing. While Gui Jing was hesitating, Yi Tong helped him agree: "It's so good. If the Chu and Zhao army united into one army, they will surely be able to fight for a way out."
More than 300 people suddenly turned into more than 1,000 people. Gui Jing felt that he had more things to carry. When Li Qi retreated, he said, "Why is Sima like this?"
"The Zhao people are not trustworthy." Yi Tong was not happy at all. "However, since he has saved him, what can he do if he doesn't do this?"

There was a crying sound in Huayang Palace.
Soul-returning is the first of funerals, so soul-returning, small, big, funeral, day and night, divination and burial place, and burial. Many etiquettes are customized. Soul-returning is to call back the soul of the dead and resurrect it. If it is not resurrected, then the dead must be moved from under the north window to the bed under the south window, covered with bedcloths, and covered with curtains.
When Zhao Zheng rushed to Huayang Palace, although the curtain was lifted, Mi Ji's whole body was covered by his bedcloth. Perhaps Zhao Zheng, who had just escaped from death and was still in glad to death, could not cry. He bowed to the queen and asked the old temple man Shangwu: "What did Empress Dowager Zu leave? What wishes do you want?"
When the Empress Dowager Zu died, Zhao Zheng was standing at the head of Xianyang City and did not see Mi Ji for the last time. He hoped to fulfill Mi Ji's last wish, but this question made Shangwu very embarrassed. After hesitating several times, Shangwu said: "Report to the King, when the general dies, the Empress Dowager Zu is right. The Empress Dowager Zu is worried about Mi... Good man, ask why Mi Liangren didn't come?"
When the torture of the Chu Marquis learned that Mi Xuan was going to meet with the King of Chu in the tomb of King Huiwen of Qin. Because Mi Xuan was unwilling to leave the city, Wei Liao had to find someone who looked like Mi Xuan to pretend to be her and pretended to be Mi Xuan out of the city. He was worried that this plan would be known by the remaining Chu spies in the city, so he put Mi Xuan under house arrest for several hours. A few hours were the separation of life and death. When Mi Ji passed away, Mi Xuan was not beside him.
"Mi Liangren..." Zhao Zheng looked at Mi Xuan who was kneeling aside. Wei Liao told him that Mi Xuan did not agree to the request of the Chu Marquis and went out of the city to meet the King of Chu to meet the King of Chu. This made him feel a little fond of it. It was just that Mi Xuan was unwilling to leave the city to leave Qin not because of him, but because of the Empress Dowager Zu. Now that the Empress Dowager Zu has passed away, she should have agreed to leave Qin at this time.
"What else does Empress Dowager Zu have to say?" Zhao Zheng stopped talking, and looked at Mi Xuan's eyes turning plain.
"The Queen Mother Zu wants to invite the king..." Mi Ji's last wish was to ask Mi Xuan to enter Chu. However, since the king had appointed Mi Xuan as a good man, this matter was impossible. Shang Wu sighed heavily and stopped talking.
"Where is the king? Is the king safe? The king..." The voice of the queen mother Zhao Ji came from outside the bedroom. When she heard that Zhao Zheng was caught in an arrow, she rushed over.
"Mother, Zheng's son is safe." Zhao Zheng was worried that Zhao Ji would cause trouble, so he hurried out to welcome him, but Zhao Ji had already entered the hall.
Seeing that her son had nothing to do, Zhao Ji finally felt relieved. However, her eyes rolled and she said, "The place is very unlucky. The king can just pay a little sacrifice. After the sacrifice, he should leave quickly... After all, he is not the king's great-grandmother."
