The king was assassinated on the way, and when he arrived at Xiangyang, he was wounded and fought hard. When the king of Qi saw Prince De's return, he was greatly upset and retreated. Before ten months, the king of the country issued an edict, blaming the king for his ineffectiveness in fighting, and allowed Yong's army to retreat. The king was in great mourning, weeping blood, and passed away in the middle of the night.
.The three armies are clothed in plain cloth to offer sacrifices to the virtuous king——
"History of Chu in the Southern Dynasties: Biography of Prince De Jue"
Zhao Jue said calmly: "The eldest grandson of Jin Gong, the green robe of Emei's eyebrows, the silver bow of Duanmu, and the red makeup Rakshasa. When I saw the silver bow here, I knew that the fire Rakshasa Qiao Yan'er must also be here. I didn't expect that you all sneaked into our Nanchu."
.”
Duanmuqiu stroked his bow string gently and said: "Who in the world doesn't know that Dayong will dominate the world sooner or later. Even your martial arts heroes in Southern Chu have basically joined me, Dayong."
Zhao Jue said angrily: "Shut up." This was the thing he hated most in his heart. Dayong admired military merit and did not care about his family background, so many people in the world of Southern Chu voted for Dayong. If you want to be a high-ranking official in Nanchu, you must
Because he had an innocent life experience, the military force of the Southern Chu army was much inferior to that of Dayongyuan.
Qiao Yan'er raised her eyebrows and said, "You are so brave, you dare to scold me, Senior Brother Duanmu, grab the formation for me." As he said that, he pulled out the long sword on his back and rushed towards it like a ball of flame. Zhao Jue's
The guards drew their swords to meet them. These guards were all masters who were good at fighting in battle formations, but Qiao Yan'er was a first-rate master, so he was not afraid even if he was one to six. Moreover, Qiao Yan'er's offensive was in full swing, not as good as these guards.
Duanmuqiu's eyes were fixed on the battlefield as the guards were inferior in strength. For a moment, he suddenly drew his bow and shot an arrow, and a silver shadow penetrated the throat of a personal guard like a ghost.
Zhao Jue frowned. One of these two people, one is good at close combat and the other is good at long-range attack. They cooperate tacitly. He only brought eight personal guards. I am afraid they will kill them one by one. He looked at the personal guards behind him.
He whispered: "Let's deal with Duanmu Qiu."
The guard nodded, and the two of them ran towards Duanmuqiu at the same time. Duanmuqiu saw from a distance that the silver bow was strung, and he shot two arrows with one bow, killing two more guards. At this time, Zhao Jue had already arrived in front of him, with a long sword.
The sword stabbed at him. Duanmuqiu used Qinggong and body skills to avoid Zhao Jue's attack. His Qinggong was so mysterious that Zhao Jue and the bodyguard could never hurt him. However, Duanmuqiu had no time to shoot arrows and could only use his silver bow.
To resist, his silver bow was specially made, and Zhao Jue's sword could not hurt it at all. Everyone fought in two places. Duanmu Qiu's martial arts skills were actually not as good as Zhao Jue. He tried to escape several times but was trapped by Zhao Jue, but Zhao Jue
Jue couldn't kill him even if he wanted to. But Qiao Yan'er's side had a huge advantage. If she killed all the personal guards and came to support Duan Muqiu, then Zhao Jue would have no chance of escaping. Zhao Jue was worried.
When he was burning, he saw two figures out of the corner of his eye, but they were Tuan Li and Bai Yi. One of them was holding a short sword, and the other was holding a small crossbow. They were quietly approaching Qiao Yan'er.
When Zhao Jue noticed the two of them, suddenly the crossbow in Robber Li's hand shot out five cold rays. Qiao Yan'er reacted quickly and tried to get out of the way. At this moment, the dagger in Bai Yi's hand struck Qiao Yan'er with a thunderous strike.
Qiao Yan'er's eyes flashed with flames, and the long sword in her hand turned into a copper wall like a god's help. The blades clashed with each other. Bai Yi staggered back, his hands were stained with blood, and Qiao Yan'er was hit by a sword in her lower abdomen. She only saw her
With a look of anger on his face, he hurriedly tapped his acupuncture points to stop the bleeding and shouted: "Senior brother." Then he shot his long sword at Zhao Jue. Zhao Jue dodged and Duanmu Qiu took advantage of the situation and rushed out. He fired five arrows from the silver bow in his hand, killing the intended person.
Qiao Yan'er's personal guard stopped him, then turned around and shot Zhao Jue away with an arrow. Then he had already reached Qiao Yan'er's side, picked up his junior sister and ran away.
Zhao Jue breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Tuan Li and Bai Yi, and said with a smile: "Thanks to you." At this moment, Zhao Jue suddenly saw the horrified looks on everyone's faces. Zhao Jue was quick-thinking and immediately asked
He rushed forward, but it was already too late. He only felt a sharp blade piercing the soft armor and piercing deeply into the waist. This was because Zhao Jue dodged in time. Zhao Jue saw the guards rushing towards him, and the fastest
It was Tuan Li and Bai Yi who stood beside him. Bai Yi passed by him and heard a scream from behind. Tuan Li supported himself, took out a wax pill from his arms, crushed the wax pill, and stuffed the pill inside into
Zhao Jue felt a sharp pain coming from his own mouth, and couldn't help but scream in pain and fainted.
When Zhao Jue woke up, he found himself lying on the table in the tea shed. Tao Li, Bai Yi and the other guards looked at him with sad faces. The body of the guard who had teamed up with him to deal with Duan Muqiu was not far away. He
He smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't expect that there is a spy from Dayong beside me. He has been following me for more than a year."
Pirates Li stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I have bandaged the prince's bleeding temporarily and taken the elixir. Within a month, as long as the prince is calm, he should be safe. However, the prince's injury is too serious. If he can return to Jianye
Let my young master diagnose and treat him personally, I believe he can recover within half a year."
Zhao Jue thought for a while and said: "They assassinated me halfway, so they must not want me to go back to Xiangyang. If I can't go back, I'm afraid Xiangyang is in danger, so I'd better go to Xiangyang."
One of the guards said bitterly: "The prince is so seriously injured, how can he go into battle? It is better to go back to Jianye to recuperate."
Zhao Jue said calmly: "No need to say more, it is a pity that I, the king, take the country lightly and set off immediately to Xiangyang." Everyone had no choice but to obey the order. Tao Li and Bai Yi looked at each other with helplessness and admiration in their eyes. Everyone wanted to continue.
They tried to persuade him, but Zhao Jue refused to listen. Thief Li had to re-bandage Zhao Jue's knife wound tightly, fearing that Zhao Jue would be overworked. Everyone did not dare to hurry up, but Zhao Jue was worried about the safety of Xiangyang and rushed on regardless of his injury. Everyone was helpless. What's more, if
If he didn't return to the military camp, he would inevitably encounter assassins, so he could only speed up. By the time Zhao Jue finally entered Xiangyang City, it was already dusk the next day. Taking advantage of the darkness and the support sent by Rong Yuan, Zhao Jue entered smoothly.
Xiangyang City. Thief Li and Bai Yi discussed it, and Thief Li continued to stay to take care of Zhao Jue's injury. The main thing he learned from Jiang Zhe was medical skills. Although it was not advanced enough, it was definitely better than the military doctors in Xiangyang. And Bai Yi
Then he returned to Jianye and returned to Jiang Zhe.
When I learned from Bai Yi that Zhao Jue was injured, I couldn't help but sigh. As early as when Zhao Jue went to war, I had a premonition of uneasiness. Now that Zhao Jue is wounded and going to war, will my premonition become a reality? Think about Zhao Jue's response to the war.
Although I had some suspicions, he was still a good boss, so I hesitated for a long time and finally decided to go to Xiangyang.
For the sake of perfection, I took seven of them, Chen Zhen and Chi Ji, with me. After we met outside the city, we rushed to Xiangyang as quickly as possible. Because I was not good at riding horses, I got a carriage. Although it was a little bumpy, it was still
It's more comfortable than riding a horse. Along the way, I got the information from the secret camp that Qi King Li Xian launched a large-scale attack on the city, but Zhao Jue personally sat on the city, so the Yong army lost troops and generals and could not win. Although it was impossible to get close to the battlefield, I still learned that
I have learned the general situation. In the past few days, Yong's army has lost 40,000 soldiers and generals in Xiangyang. I think it has reached the limit of the King of Qi.
Sure enough, when I was more than two hundred miles away from Xiangyang, I learned the news that Yong's army had retreated, and according to the reports from the secret camp, Yong's army should have retreated from Nanchu territory. In other words, I would encounter Yong's army head-on.
, in order to force them away, I ordered to stay in a small village and wait temporarily. As far as I know, Yong's army has made no mistakes all the way to Qiu, and they should not come here to plunder. In the afternoon, Yong's army passed by outside the village.
, Yong Jun's outpost came to the village and ordered every household not to go out. I had already changed into a green shirt, and Chi Ji and the others had also changed into peasant clothes, so they didn't attract much attention. In fact, they didn't intend to come.
In the village, so I only need to control the roads outside the village. But while I was waiting, I suddenly heard chaos outside, and then someone came and knocked on the door: "People inside the house, come out, our army has requisitioned this place."
Chen Zhen walked up to me quietly and asked me with his eyes. I thought about it and shook my head slightly. Chen Zhen pretended to be panicked and went to the door and opened the door and begged: "Master, spare your life, Lord, spare your life."
"
The person who knocked on the door was a sergeant wearing black armor. It seemed that he was not an ordinary soldier wearing a uniform with a sword. He took a look at the room and said, "Don't panic. We will use the room for a while. You go to the wing and stay there. You are not allowed to move around. You are not allowed to move around."
Make a sound."
I stood up and walked out with Chi Ji. The sergeant suddenly stopped me and said, "What is your name? Do you have any merit?"
I said calmly: "Jiang Suiyun, who was born late, is a poor scholar and has no fame. What advice can you give me, Master Jun?"
A trace of doubt flashed in the soldier's eyes, and then he suddenly woke up and shouted: "Come here, arrest them, they are spies." Following his shout, a group of soldiers rushed in and surrounded us with swords and guns.
Stop, Chen Zhen took a step back and stood in front of me without making a move. He knew not to be impulsive at this time.
I asked with a puzzled look: "Why did the military master say that Wansheng was a spy?"
An inexplicable cold light flashed in the sergeant's eyes, and he said: "I don't think you shed tears until you see the coffin. Judging from your demeanor, you are definitely a person who has always been pampered and pampered. You also have a temperament that is superior to others. If it weren't for
You are a spy, why do you say you have no fame?"
I didn't expect this sergeant to be so shrewd. I couldn't help but look him up and down for a long time. Just as I was thinking about how to deal with the current situation, a cavalry galloped over. Immediately, the man shouted: "The house is not ready yet? Your Highness is in urgent need of treatment."
Where." The sergeant said quickly: "General, I see something suspicious about this family..."
Before I finished speaking, the general saw me at a glance, was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Who do I think it is? It turns out to be Mr. Jiang Hanlin. I didn't expect that we would meet here." I was stunned from the moment the general arrived.
With a wry smile, he could only say: "It turns out to be the Huang guard who is with His Royal Highness King Qi. I didn't expect to see each other like this today."
The general said solemnly: "In the past, His Highness was sent as an envoy to Southern Chu, and your Excellency was ordered to accompany you. He was very polite and courteous. Huang was also very grateful. Now that the two countries are at war, your Excellency is a high-ranking official of Southern Chu. Why do you appear in this small village in the countryside?"
I was moved. He just said that His Highness needed healing, so he said: "To be honest, an old friend of Xiaguan is seriously ill, and the medicine and stone are ineffective. Xiaguan is quite familiar with Qihuang, so he went to treat him."
As expected, General Huang showed a look of surprise on his face and said: "It turns out that Mr. Jiang is good at Qihuang. His Highness King Qi was wounded by an arrow. The military doctors could not treat him, so he had to rush back to Dayong. Now that his illness has worsened on the way, I asked Mr. Jiang to be your highness.
Let's see."
I said happily: "The doctors are willing to cut their legs, how dare I disobey my orders." General Huang immediately ordered people to invite His Highness King Qi to come here. The sergeants showed a strange look, and I heard him ask General Huang in a low voice:
"He is a Nanchu official. Will he sincerely diagnose and treat His Highness?" General Huang also whispered: "When we met Mr. Jiang in Jianye, he was easy-going and free-spirited and would not stick to his status. His Highness said
This man has a beautiful heart and should not be underestimated. I take great care of him. I don’t think he will miss his old friendship. What’s more, now that he is in the hands of our army, I don’t dare to do anything wrong.”
Not long after, His Royal Highness King Qi's car arrived. General Huang and others carried King Qi to the room. I saw that his face was red and unconscious. After I stepped forward to check his pulse, he muttered: "Your Highness has been hit by Nan Chu."
The poisonous arrows were poisonous snake sap obtained from the Southern Barbarians. If His Highness had not had strong internal strength and strong body, and had taken some antidote drugs in time, he would have died long ago. Now it is a symptom of aggravated toxicity. If not treated, within three days
It will definitely not be cured."
Everyone was shocked, and a middle-aged general said coldly: "In that case, do you have a way to cure me?"
I looked at him with questioning eyes, and the general said: "This general, Fan Wencheng, is the general of the Guards under the command of King Qi."
I smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, General. I arrived just in time. As long as I do acupuncture for His Highness and write a prescription, I will definitely save King Qi's life. However, His Highness will need to rest for half a year from now on."
General Fan and General Huang both showed joy on their faces. Under their supervision, I performed acupuncture for King Qi, with Chi Ji as my assistant. It took me an hour to complete the complicated process of passing the gold needle through the acupuncture points, and then prescribed the detoxification medicine.
The prescription, their army has a complete range of medicines, and my prescription does not contain any special medicine. Soon after taking the medicine, King Qi's complexion became normal and he slept much more peacefully. General Huang thanked him profusely.
Send me to the wing to rest. When Chen Zhen saw them leaving, he asked in a low voice: "Sir, will they let us go tomorrow?"
I said calmly: "It doesn't matter. I think King Qi is a smart man. If he doesn't let me go, I will have my own way to take his life."
The next morning, King Qi woke up, and General Huang immediately called me to diagnose King Qi's pulse. Li Xian lay on the bed and looked at me with a smile, waiting for me to announce that the poison in his body was no longer a problem, and he only needed to continue taking my prescription.
After the child was able to remove the remaining poison, Li Xian smiled and said: "I didn't expect that Lord Meng saved my life after we met by strangers today. Lord Jiang might as well just go back with me."
I said calmly: "Your Highness, King Qi, is wrong. Your Highness is a minister of Southern Chu. How can you surrender to Dayong? If His Highness doesn't want to save his life, just kill him."
Li Xian said hurriedly: "Sir, don't be angry. How dare you forget the grace of saving your life. If you don't want to, I won't force you."
I was overjoyed. I had known for a long time that Li Xian admired King Yong in his heart. King Yong valued love and righteousness. He would not embarrass me in this situation. So as long as I say this, King Qi will not do anything ungrateful.
That's why I treated King Qi's injuries without any conditions.
Seeing that I had calmed down, Li Xian asked again: "I heard that Mr. Jiang went to treat a friend. Do you know me?" I saw the confusion in King Qi's eyes and said calmly: "This person
Your Highness naturally recognizes me, Prince Zhao Jue of Nanchu De."
Li Xian said angrily: "It turns out that you went to treat him. How unreasonable? Do you think I will let you cure him?"
I said coldly: "In the battle between Dayong and Nanchu, Prince De was assassinated on the way, and His Highness was wounded on the battlefield. Since I treated His Highness, I don't worry about Your Highness coming to do harm again in the future. I didn't know that His Highness was so afraid of Prince De that he actually wanted him to die."
The hand of the assassin." Li Xian was speechless, and after a long time he said: "I don't think Zhao Jue can stop my Dayong Iron Cavalry even if his injury is healed, that's all, go and treat his injury, and tell him that I will definitely let him die in my life.
On your hand." I bowed slightly to show my compliance.
Three days later, King Qi's injury basically improved, and he let me go. It was not until he parted with me on the carriage that he said: "Master Jiang, Nanchu will die in my hands sooner or later. Then Master Jiang can
Come to me, and I will definitely protect Mr. Jiang's wealth and life." I just remained silent. As for whether he thought I was acquiescing or dissatisfied, I just let him.
After breaking up with King Qi, I traveled all night and finally arrived in Xiangyang. I recognized Bai Yi and the general guarding the city gate. Soon I entered the city and went straight to Prince De's residence. But as soon as I arrived in front of the door, I heard something coming from inside.
I was stunned by the sound of crying, and then rushed in like crazy. The sergeants guarding the door basically recognized me. When I rushed into Prince De's bedroom, I saw Rong Yuan lying on the ground wailing, and on the bed was exactly
Zhao Jue and Tao Li, whose faces were as white as paper, stood aside with sad expressions. When they saw me coming in, Rong Yuan choked and said, "Suiyun, you're late."
I shouted out of control: "Tao Li, how could this happen? How could you not save his life?"
Robber Li crept forward and said: "Sir, I gave the medicine to the prince, and the effect was obvious. Although the prince came to the city for several days to supervise the battle, his injury did not get too bad. Who knew that today the king issued an edict to reprimand the prince, and the prince was furious after seeing the edict.
He was so angry that he vomited blood, and within half an hour, he was gone."
Rong Yuan stepped forward with tears in his eyes and said: "Suiyun, don't blame him, he has done his best."
I said coldly: "Where is the edict?"
Rong Yuan sighed and pointed to the table next to him. I stepped forward and picked up Huang Ling's edict and looked at it. I felt depressed in my chest, my mouth felt sweet, and I spit out a mouthful of blood. I saw cold words written on the edict.
.
"Uncle Wang is well versed in the art of war. He has commanded hundreds of thousands of elite troops, and he is also based on the natural dangers of Xiangyang. Why has he fought for a long time without success, and allowed Yong's army to move freely? Could it be that he is collaborating with the enemy? I hope the governor will understand this autumn of the country's weakening power, and fight for a quick victory."
I put down the edict, pushed away Chi Ji and Tao Li who were trying to support me, and looked at the table. There was a watch and seal on it. I opened the watch and seal. Rong Yuan wanted to come over and stop me, but stopped. I looked down.
Go, the handwriting on it is neat, but there are splatters of blood in several places.
"With the honor of the royal family and mediocre talent, Jue was informed by the late emperor, appointed his confidants, and commanded the troops. He dared not to do his best. However, he was weak and sick, and his ambitions were not fulfilled. He died in the middle. How can he regret it? Now Dayong is wreaking havoc.
, Southern Chu is exhausted, this is the autumn of sincerity, Jue is about to die now, dare to speak out unfaithfully and directly remonstrate, since our marriage in Southern Chu, the courtiers of Southern Chu have looked up to the Great Yong every time, fearing war and asking for peace, but with the heart of a tiger and wolf, how can they be willing to do so?
Take a break, the ruler of the country should be close to virtuous ministers, stay away from villains, sparse harems, be diligent in government affairs, and concentrate on military affairs. If you are far away from the Northern Han Dynasty and close to the Yong Dynasty, you can keep the peace of the Southern Chu community. The defense of Xiangyang is crucial.
Rong Yuan is a confidant of the ministers, has many talents, is good at military affairs, and Jue's old department can be put under the command of this person. Please ask the king to order this person to guard Xiangyang on his behalf, so that Xiangyang can be kept safe. Lu Xin, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, is a loyal man and meticulous in handling affairs.
In the place of the great governor, Jue was in tears when he came to the table and didn’t know what to say. If I were to learn from this, Jue would die and be immortal.”
I put down the seal and thought of the scene when Zhao Jue was filled with grief and weeping while writing this seal. Tears fell like rain, and I said: "Why is the prince so stubborn? If he had listened to my words and respected his troops, how could he be where he is today?"
.”
Rong Yuan stepped forward and said: "On his deathbed, the prince thought of you and wanted to recommend you to guard Xiangyang. However, he thought about it again and again and said: 'Sui Yun's magnanimity and magnanimity are unparalleled in the world. However, no matter how wise you are to protect yourself, you will not be willing to sacrifice yourself. Rong Yuan
Sir, tell Suiyun on my behalf that if Nanchu is extinct in the future, I hope that for Jue’s sake, sir, you will leave a line of cigarettes for me in Nanchu.'"
I was silent for a long time and said calmly: "Mr. Rong, I would like to express my condolences. The king of the country is not a heartless person. He will definitely regret it when he sees the prince's seal. Mr. Rong should be able to guard Xiangyang. Suiyun is disheartened and will soon
I will resign and travel far away, and we will see each other someday and talk about our farewells."
After that, I turned around and left. When I got to the door, I opened the curtain and got into the car. I heard the sound of artillery in the distance.
He said calmly: "Let's set off." The carriage started running. After a long time, I opened the window and looked at the gloomy sky outside. For the first time, I truly felt that Nanchu was over.
