Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 780 Sima Shang leaves

Three days later, Zhao Jun camped on the southern border of Zhao State and on the north bank of Huan River.

This is where Sima Shang's army is stationed.

After three days, the results of the Battle of Jingxingguan have also spread.

When General Li Mu of the State of Zhao disobeyed the king's orders, the newly appointed general Zhao Cong was ordered to kill him, and Zhao Cong officially took over the army.

Later, Wang Jian, the commander-in-chief of the Qin army, took advantage of the situation to knock on the pass and successfully broke through Jingxing Pass. Zhao Cong could only lead the defeated army to flee in confusion.

Currently, the two armies are facing each other in the Dongyang area.

In the large tent of the Chinese army, the orderly soldier was half-kneeling on the ground with cold sweat on his head, his body was trembling, and he seemed to be unable to support himself.

Sima Shang sat on the main seat, holding the military report in his hand, his fingers trembling slightly.

As a top expert and a veteran on the battlefield, he could not control the emotional fluctuations in his heart at this time, and all his momentum was released to the surroundings, suppressing the order soldier who was just an ordinary person and found it difficult to breathe.

However, the messenger did not dare to make any move. After all, his general was probably furious at the moment, so it was better to be quiet.

Anyway, it's just a little uncomfortable, and it won't kill you.

After a while, the messenger was exhausted and almost collapsed on the ground. Sima Shang finally restrained his uncontrollable emotional fluctuations and waved his hand in a hoarse voice, "You go down first..."

"Yes, General." Hearing this, the ordering soldier hurriedly ran out without raising his head as if he had been granted amnesty.

At this time, Sima Shang was sitting upright with his head raised high, his eyes closed, and two lines of clear tears suddenly flowed down his cheeks.

"General..."

Sima Shang knew that Li Mu would not end well.

The Qin State has strong soldiers and strong horses, and the king is wise and the ministers are wise. Although Zhao State can withstand it for a while, its defeat is only a matter of time. As a general, Li Mu, whether he surrenders to the enemy or not, will be buried in horse leather at most.

If so, Sima Shang would accept it, and he was even ready to die on the battlefield with Li Mu.

But I never thought that a generation of military gods would end up like this...

Opening his eyes again, Sima Shang's eyes were red, with bloodshot lines clearly visible, and he cursed angrily:

"The son of a prostitute is short of tricks!"

With a curse, Sima Shang directly used all his strength, and all the soldiers around the Chinese army's tent could hear it clearly.

Almost everyone who heard this angry curse unconsciously lowered their heads and pretended not to hear anything, even though... in fact, they had no one to avoid.

But who asked his general to scold his own king? It was the most unpleasant form of scolding his mother.

After Sima Shang finished cursing in the tent, he couldn't let go of the anger in his heart. He slapped his palm on the solid wood table in front of him. There was a loud bang and the table was shattered into pieces.

Sima Shang looked at the debris in front of him, his chest rising and falling rapidly, and he was breathing heavily.

He now wants Zhao Wangqian to die.

Die immediately, the more miserable the better.

But unfortunately, even as a top expert, he was not sure of assassinating Zhao Wangqian in the palace.

After breathing heavily for a long time, Sima Shang finally managed to suppress the grief and murderous intention in his heart.

In fact, there is no need for him to take revenge. After all, after the death of General Li Mu, the Zhao State has become twilight. As for Zhao Wangqian... Once the Zhao State is destroyed, it will be even worse than death for him, the King of Zhao, to fall into the hands of the Qin State.

With this thought, Sima Shang suddenly wanted to leave.

He has never been interested in the disputes between the Central Plains countries. Fighting against foreigners is his pursuit.

Now that General Li Mu has passed away, he has no nostalgia for Zhao Guo.

No, it should be said that he wished Zhao Guo would die soon, let alone continue to help resist the Qin army.

To be honest, Sima Shang now has the idea of ​​​​leading his troops to surrender directly to Qin and attack Zhao in turn.

But... General Li Mu wouldn't want him to do this.

Besides, he was not Li Mu, and he had no ability to encourage tens of thousands of Zhao soldiers to follow him in treason, so he would not waste his time.

Just leave here.

Zhao Guo... only has a few months to live at most. Coincidentally, the new general appointed by Zhao Wangqian, what is his name...Yan Ju is coming soon.

Waiting for the other party to arrive and hand over the military power smoothly is the last thing he can do for the soldiers under his command.

………………

Two days later, Sima Shang successfully handed over the military power to Yan Ju who came to accept it.

Originally, according to Zhao Wangqian's order, Sima Shang was also responsible for the unfavorable battle and needed to be escorted back to Handan for punishment.

However, Sima Shang ran away directly after handing over half of the Tiger Talisman for Trooping Troops in his hand.

As Sima Shang was a top expert, Yan Ju was caught off guard and could not stop him. He could only watch Sima Shang leave.

If Sima Shang hadn't thought he was a fool and hoped that he could bring Zhao an early defeat, he would have killed him easily.

Yan Ju failed to keep Sima Shang and didn't care much.

All Zhao Wangqian cared about was Li Mu's life and death. Sima Shang couldn't make it out by himself, so he ran away.

The most important thing for Zhao now is to resist the Qin army.

With the defeat of the war on the northern front, Qin general Yang Duanhe on the southern front also began to prepare for action.

However, Yan Ju was worthy of being chosen by Zhao Wangqian along with Zhao Cong, and he had the same self-confidence as Zhao Cong.

Zhao Cong is now being defeated by Wang Jian in the Dongyang area. What will happen to Yan Ju...

Ha ha……

Sima Shang left Zhao Junying and walked aimlessly along the Huan River.

He now doesn't know where he should go, and the road ahead is at a loss.

His parents died early, and Sima Shang, who had no family and no children, really had nowhere to go after leaving the military camp.

Go back to your hometown and spend the rest of your life like this?
  It was a choice, but he had no relatives, and his so-called hometown was no different from any rural town.

Just when Sima Shang was in confusion, he suddenly heard a sentence.

"It seems that General Sima is a little confused."

Sima Shang's eyes were focused, and he instantly put away his distracting thoughts, and looked towards the direction where the sound came from, which was directly in front of him.

After seeing the person coming, Sima Shang frowned and said in surprise, "Mr. Gu...?"

Gu Xun smiled and nodded at him, walking forward a few steps, "I have been missing for some days, General Sima."

Sima Shang also understood Gu Xun's true strength and did not dare to be presumptuous. He replied with a slightly respectful expression, "It's indeed been a long time, Mr. Gu."

"I wonder why Mr. today came to see me?"

Gu Xun asked back, "The general has now resigned from the post of commander-in-chief of the Zhao army. What are his plans next?"

With this question, Sima Shang knew Gu Xun's purpose - to recruit him.

Although he did not want to offend Gu Xun, he still declined politely and said, "Sima Shang is just a country idler now and cannot be called a gentleman and general."

"General Li Mu has passed away. I am tired of the war and plan to remove my armor and return to the fields to spend the rest of my life."

"Is that so..." Gu Xun nodded, reached out and took out a letter, threw it to Sima Shang, "General Sima might as well read it first and then make a decision."

"If you still insist on going into seclusion, then Gu won't force it."

Sima Shang opened the letter in confusion and looked at it, his expression suddenly changed slightly.

This is... the general's handwriting, his personal letter!
  　I just discovered this morning that the chapter that was supposed to be sent after midnight yesterday was sent directly by me...

　　In this case, if you want to restore the previous update rhythm, you will have to update four times a day, or three updates every two days.

　　Hmm... I've been busy with trivial matters today. I didn't take a break or update more. There are only two chapters. Please forgive me.

　　It's holiday time, and I plan to recuperate my spirit and stop cultivating immortality.

　　Tomorrow and the next two days happen to be holidays, so I'll update three times a day.

　　I must do it this time, even if I don’t have time to cultivate immortality, otherwise I will eat the computer screen! ! !
