537. Chapter 537 Escape from the tiger's mouth
These Chu soldiers happened to know some inside information. They pointed to a carriage in front and said, "General Qu Xin was replaced, arrested, and tied to that carriage."
When Li Qi and Ma Hui heard this, they felt that the Chu army camp had changed. They did not care about their shock and hurriedly chased the carriage where Qu Xin was. When they arrived nearby, they followed the troops.
While paying attention to the situation near the carriage, he found that four sergeants were located on four corners of the carriage, wearing swords below his waist, and alerting the situation around the carriage while walking.
Li Qi and Ma Hui decided to rescue Qu Xin, but when they saw the four strong men in charge of the alert, they felt that they were no match for others and were immediately deflated.
Li Qi's mind turned around and he came up with a plan. He took out a token of the Central Army from his arms and said to Ma Hui: "Look, I still have the token of the Central Army here, it turned out to be for the message.
It is convenient to use it in and out of the Central Army forbidden area. Now we can use it to deceive those who are carriages."
Li Qi then let Ma Hui turn his ears and whispered to him about his plans. When Ma Hui heard this, he felt that his idea was good, so he kept nodding and laughed happily.
After the two followed the carriage escorting Qu Xin, they found that they were almost at a fork in the road. Li Qi hurriedly took a few steps. He bravely stretched out his arms and held the token of the Central Army with his right hand.
He shouted: "The chief general of the Central Army has an order and stop the carriage immediately."
The four guards immediately went forward and stared at them. Someone asked Li Qi: "Who are you and why did you stop the carriage."
Li Qi raised his head and said with confidence: "I am the messenger of the Central Army. I am ordered by the commander of the chief to escort the prisoners to the Central Army for a question."
A tall guard came forward to look at Li Qi for a few times, then looked at the token in his hand carefully, and was puzzled whether to let him take away the criminals in the carriage. At this time, Ma Hui also ran from the side.
After coming over, he said to Li Qi anxiously: "The Lord will ask you to escort the prisoner over. Why are you so slow? There is no movement at all."
Li Qi replied: "I'm not negotiating with the guards! What are you anxious about?"
Ma Hui said angrily: "I am worried about you. The Lord General asked me to urge you to bring people over quickly."
Li Qi and Ma Hui's concert made it look like that. The four guards couldn't help but believe them, so they let them deal with the "criminal" Qu Xin. Li Qi and Ma Hui were both escorted.
Qu Xin's carriage, and then asked the coachman to get out of the carriage. The two of them took the reins and whip of the horse, and then urged the carriage forward.
They walked along the mountain road for a short time and arrived at the fork. Li Qi pulled the reins of his left hand and changed the direction of the horse to the fork on the left. Then he whipped the horse hard.
With a whip, four hooves rose up, and pulled the carriage and ran forward quickly.
The four guards thought Li Qi and Ma Hui would escort Qu Xin to see the master general. They were relaxing their vigilance and gladly freed from the intense task. Suddenly one of them saw the direction of the carriage change and ran along the fork road. He was busy
Telling other companions, the guards screamed almost at the same time.
They hurriedly went to chase, but when they reached the fork in the road, they found that the carriage was no longer visible. In desperation, the four of them had to give up chasing and hurried to find Chen Zhen to report the situation.
When Chen Zhen learned that Qu Xin had been deceived by two young men with unknown names, he was so angry that he cursed the guards. Chen Zhen's curses alarmed Jing Chi, who was in the middle of the army at this time, and he hurriedly got out of the carriage.
He poked his head out and asked Chen Zhen what happened. When Jing Chi learned about Qu Xin's disappearance, he felt relieved in his heart.
Jing Chi had no grudges with Qu Xin's father, and he had always been a good thing. Now that he has arrived at Mianchi, he not only replaced Qu Xin, but also escorted him. He felt very uncomfortable. He actually had the heart.
After returning to China, he said a few words about Qu Xin. Now Qu Xin was taken away by someone falsely circulating the order. Jing Chi felt a little relieved, so he persuaded Chen Zhen and said, "Forget it, I wish Qu Xin would never escape again after he escaped.
If it is difficult to return to Chu, let him go."
Chen Zhen himself had no choice but to think: "I can't order the army to stop advancing and go to pursue Qu Xin specifically." He decided to give up and let the matter go.
Li Qi and Ma Hui rushed for more than ten miles in the carriage. They kept looking back but did not find anyone chasing him. Then they stopped the carriage in an open space. Li Qi lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at it.
When Qu Xin was tied tightly in a corner of the carriage, a piece of cloth was stuffed into his mouth.
Only then did Li Qi understand why there was no movement in the carriage. It was the first time they had done such an exciting thing. They were very nervous and didn't even bother to see if Qu Xin was in the carriage. Li Qi thought of it.
My negligence couldn't help but laugh at my carelessness in my heart.
He took off the cloth from Qu Xin's mouth, and Qu Xin immediately opened his mouth and asked, "Where are we?"
Li Qi looked at Ma Hui behind him and asked him, "Ma Hui, do you know where we are?" Ma Hui also shook his head, indicating that he was unaware of it.
Qu Xin was very anxious and said to Li Qi: "Unlock the rope for me quickly, I want to go out and have a look." But the ropes tied up Qu Xin were quite strong, and they were deeply tied into Qu Xin's arm.
In his muscles, Li Qi and Ma Hui worked together, and Li Qi, who had worked so hard to tie Qu Xin's body up.
Qu Xin jumped out of the carriage without caring about his numbness, soreness and pain. He looked around and found that they were in a valley that had never been here before.
Qu Xin called Li Qi and Ma Hui to their side and asked them about the situation. He realized that the Chu army had already gone south and was getting farther and farther away from the Mianchi front line. Qu Xin thought: "It seems that he was given to him by Chen Zhen.
He betrayed. But how could Chen Zhen have such a courage to deprive the power of the chief general of his power and lead the Chu army to the south?"
Qu Xin thought again: "Even if Chen Zhen can take advantage of his absence, he will occupy the magpie's nest and attack the central army's tent. However, with so many generals in the Chu army, how could they obey Qu for no reason
Xin's order, voluntarily follow him to retreat?"
Thinking of this, Qu Xin had guessed that the State of Chu probably sent people to the front line of Mianchi and announced the temporary order to change the commander. The generals in the army were just implementing the new orders of the court.
Qu Xin thought of the commander of the Hezong Army, Su Qin, who was still unaware of the changes in the Chu army, and the Chu army retreated south, leaving a big gap. If the Qin army in Mianchi City was used and took the opportunity to break through, then He
Wouldn’t Zong Jun’s siege plan be completely ruined?
Qu Xin then eagerly wanted to arrive at the headquarters of the Hezong Army as soon as possible and report the changes in the Chu army to Su Qin, but they turned around again and didn't know where to go. Qu Xin, Li Qi and others did not dare to go back.
He had no choice but to walk along the road in the valley, looking for passers-by while walking, hoping to find out how to get to Mianchi.
Later, after walking forward for about ten miles, Li Qi found a shepherd on the mountain halfway up the road, laying goats. Li Qi got out of the car and rushed to the shepherd to ask for directions.
Afterwards, the three of them followed the path guided by the shepherd and turned out from the mountains. By the time they arrived at the headquarters of the Hezong Army, it was almost noon.
Qu Xin drove the car and ran to the central army tent where Su Qin was at the fastest speed. When he arrived there, Su Qin was studying a city defense map for Mianchi in the tent. He planned to break through the city in one fell swoop and wipe out the Qin army in Mianchi.
In the city.
Suddenly, he saw Qu Xin stumble in, his hair was disheveled, and his body was covered in dust, and he was in a mess. He was shocked. He hurriedly asked Qu Xin, "What's going on with General Qu?"
Qu Xin was so angry that he calmed down and said to Su Qin: "The big thing was not good. The Chu army had a mutiny. Chen Zhen grabbed the position of the chief general and led the Chu army out of the camp and retreated to the State of Chu."
Su Qin said "ah" and the map in his hand suddenly fell to the ground. He stepped forward to hold Qu Xin's arm and asked anxiously: "When did you discover that the Chu army evacuated?"
Qu Xin briefly reported to Su Qin on the way back to the camp, was framed and captured, and the scene he saw later. Su Qin immediately said strangely: "How could Chen Zhen have such a great appeal? Someone must have been from it.
He was so brave that he dared to act like this after getting the secret order of the King of Chu."
Su Qin immediately ordered the guards of the Central Army to find all the messengers in the tent of the Central Army. Su Qin urgently ordered them to seize all the time and convey new orders to the various troops of the Union Army around Mianchi, and let them go
They put aside all their work, gathered at the fastest speed, and rushed to the western suburbs of Mianchi City.
After issuing the order, Su Qin himself brought five or six hundred soldiers from the central army to the western suburbs of Mianchi City. When he arrived there, he went to the Chu army camp first and found that he had already left the camp.
.
Su Qin did not stop and immediately entered Mianchi City from the west gate of Mianchi. Although the city gate was closed at this time, no one was guarding it. The soldiers under Su Qin pushed it gently and opened the city gate.
It was this Mianchi city gate that they had tried their best to do anything and even sacrificed the lives of so many soldiers, but they could not break through. Today, it was opened so easily that everyone felt that something must be strange.
Sure enough, when Su Qin led his soldiers into the city, he found that there was no trace of the Qin army in the city. Many people in Mianchi City fled during the time when the city was occupied by the Qin army. Now there are not many people left, and most of them are
