Chapter 1542: The Broken Bridge According to the Water
The next day, the fish belly in the East turned white and lit up the entire earth.i^
"Da da da."
In the north of Yecheng, the sound of horse hooves and footsteps was deafening. Looking around, I saw countless soldiers, wearing armor and holding spears, carrying bows on their backs, slowly setting off towards the north.
At the front is a huge handsome flag with the word "Zhao" embroidered on it. This handsome flag flutters constantly as it moves around, giving it the air of a flying dragon.
Under the commander's banner, there is a man standing on horseback. This man has sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes. He is tall and majestic. At this moment, he is wearing armor and holding a spear, and his majesty is very high.[
Next to this man stood a general, with big arms and round waist, rough and fierce, and the aura of a fierce general.
These two people were none other than the King of Zhao, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao's general, Qu Yi.
After their conversation last night, the two men became extremely ambitious and led 30,000 elite troops to the border bridge to watch Fan Yang's success or failure from a distance. Today was the time to send out troops.
After the army left Yecheng, Yuan Shao ordered the army to march quickly.
Before the sky turned dark, they walked two hundred miles and reached an open area to camp. In addition, Yuan Shao and Qu Yi came to a small stream in the north of the camp to rest.
"Da da da."
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from the north.
"Another battle report has come. I'm afraid Xi'er won't be able to withstand it and will come to ask for help again." Yuan Shao looked up and sighed.
"I don't blame the second prince, Liu Feng is indeed very strong. If the king doesn't marry him, it will be difficult to check and balance him." Qu Yi said with relief after hearing this.
"Yes, who in the world can defeat Liu Feng if not a person like me?" Yuan Shao cheered up after hearing this, and sighed because his son was useless.
"bump."
Just as Yuan Shao and Qu Yi were talking, the fast horse came in front of them. The knight on the horse dismounted and landed firmly in front of Yuan Shao.
The visitor's movements were quite nimble, but his face was white and there was cold sweat.
Although the sky is getting dark now, there is still a bit of brightness. Yuan Shao and Qu Yi can see clearly, and their hearts can't help but scream.%&*
"Report to the king that the city of Fanyang has been destroyed. The second prince, the chief historian Deng Zhuang, and the chief secretary Zhou Zang died in the city."
The visitor took a deep breath, calmed down for a moment, and then spoke in a deep voice. Even so, his voice was still a little trembling.
Immediately, the visitor lowered his head deeply, and his body couldn't help but tremble. Because he knew what the news he brought meant.
This meant that the State of Zhao lost the city of Fanyang and the entire Youzhou. The king of Zhao in front of him lost his second son.
If he is furious, he will die.[
To be honest, if possible, he really didn't want to come to report the news.
"What?"
Qu Yi shouted loudly, with shock on his face. Fan Yang was a tall city with 80,000 soldiers, but it was defeated like this? What day was this when the Han army attacked? The second day? The third day?
This is simply incredible.
Where is Yuan Shao? He was suddenly stunned. Although, Yuan Shao hated iron and was dissatisfied with Yuan Xi for sending a message asking for help so quickly.
But after all, he is his own son.
Son, Yuan Shao lost a son in this world of strife.
At that moment, what flashed through Yuan Shao's mind was Yuan Xi's cute face when he was a child, and the scene of him acting coquettishly in his arms.
"ah."
Suddenly, Yuan Shao raised his head and roared.
The roar was as violent as a lion's rage.
"Do you have evidence?" Qu Yi was furious, took a step forward aggressively, grabbed the man's clothes, and shouted angrily.
"I don't have any evidence, but I'm afraid it won't be long before everyone in the north knows about it," the visitor said truthfully.
Suddenly, Qu Yi was filled with anger and disappeared. As if all his strength had been lost, he stood aside and fell silent.
Yes, this news cannot be faked. Fan Yang is really gone, and so is Youzhou. For the current Zhao State, defeat is basically sealed.
"Your Majesty."
At this moment, Yuan Shao was still roaring up to the sky, seemingly asking God why his son was taken away. Qu Yi sighed, stepped forward to stabilize Yuan Shao, and let out an angry roar in Yuan Shao's ears.
"Boom." This roar was like a thunder, making Yuan Shao dizzy, and his roar to the sky naturally stopped.
Yuan Shao woke up, but his expression was still extremely sad.
"Huh." Yuan Shao took a deep breath, broke free from Qu Yi's hands, then nodded towards Qu Yi and said, "Thank you, sir."
When Qu Yi saw that he had woken up Yuan Shao after drinking like this, he was not happy but was surprised. How could a middle-aged man who lost his son return to normal so quickly?
"Your Majesty, if you want to rest, go and rest for a while." Qu Yi said carefully.[
"No problem." Yuan Shao waved his hand and said.
It can be seen that Yuan Shao is indeed fine, and the grief on his face has even gradually subsided, turning into an expressionless expression.
If there is anything strange, it is Yuan Shao's eyes, which are as if there are glaciers that cannot be melted, and are so cold that they hit people.
"this."
Qu Yi felt a little uneasy when he saw that Yuan Shao was acting abnormally.
"This time, either Liu Feng cut off my head, or I cut off Liu Feng's head to pay homage to Xi'er." Yuan Shao said coldly.
Senhan's murderous aura is even more compelling.
"Have you forgotten? When we were in the palace, I told you that I was willing to work with you to defeat Liu Feng at the Jie Bridge, just like how I and you worked together to defeat Gongsun Zan. Now, isn't it just right? Fan Yang is defeated, You
If the state is lost, the next battle will be at Jieqiao."
Yuan Shao suddenly smiled, his smile extremely bright.
Weird, weird.
Qu Yi shuddered deeply, but at the same time the blood in his heart boiled again. He leaned down heavily and said in response: "No."
"Send the order, have a good rest tonight, and speed up the march tomorrow. The target is the boundary bridge." Yuan Shao ordered.
"promise."
Qu Yi agreed and went down to deliver the order.
After Qu Yi left, Yuan Shao came to the bank of the creek. Looking at the endless flow of news, he bit his teeth to his lips, and a wisp of red blood flowed down.
But it was for revenge that he forced himself to calm down.
Because Yuan Shao knew that he could not be "chaotic" or "chaotic" at this time.
Yuan Shaonai is the backbone of the Zhao State. If he does not cause "chaos", the army will not be "chaotic". Therefore, although the impact of this news was strong, it did not have any impact on the Zhao army.
Early the next morning, Yuan Shao and Qu Yi sent troops together to go to Jieqiao.
Two days later, the army arrived at Jieqiao.
boundary bridge.
It is a bridge over the Pan River. The Pan River flows from west to east and is the border between Youzhou and Jizhou. There are quite mountains in other areas, which is unfavorable for the march of the army.
Only this outbound bridge connects the main road from north to south of Panhe River, connecting Jizhou and Youzhou. It can be said that it is a battleground for military strategists.
Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao fought here.
At this moment, Yuan Shao's army arrived at the boundary bridge. He came to the top of the boundary bridge and touched the boundary bridge with his hands, with memories in his eyes.
At the beginning of the Battle of Jieqiao, he managed to maintain his defeat, and finally annihilated Gongsun Zan two years later.
This time, he can do it too.
Thinking about it, the coldness in Yuan Shao's eyes became more and more compelling. He was thinking about Liu Feng's head.
