Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 52 Rescue Xue Qian

A 3000-strong army galloped towards Xindu, and half a day passed in a flash.A cavalryman ran quickly, with a serious expression on his face.

"My lord, I found a Wei army in front of me. It seems that there are hundreds of people."The cavalry didn't have time to salute, so they hurriedly reported the situation ahead.

Hundreds of Wei State troops?A trace of vigilance rose in Zhao Wuming's heart: "Are you sure there are only a few hundred people?".

"The subordinates saw from a distance that hundreds of Wei troops were besieging a team of dozens of people."The cavalryman recalled the scene he had just seen in detail, his tone full of firmness.

Zhao Wuming dispelled the doubts in his heart, and it was not an answer.He just slapped the horse's back hard, and brought three thousand soldiers to add a little more.

Surrounded by hundreds of Wei troops in front of him, Xue Qian looked at the dozens of private soldiers fighting side by side with him, and gradually developed a will to die.The 50 private soldiers in the family have fought with these Wei soldiers until now, and there are only [-] or [-] people around. Is today the time when I die? .

A Wei soldier dressed as a general looked at Xue Qian and others who were dying and sneered: "Zhao State will perish soon, and our Wei State will unify the three Jins. You are dying here, why delay time?"

"Why bother? Is it too early to say that Zhao Guo will be destroyed now?"Xue Qian glared fiercely at the general of Wei State, breaking Handan doesn't mean anything.

The general of the Wei State didn't bother to continue arguing with him, and glanced at Xue Qian and the others: "Surrender, now that you are still useful to our Wei State, the king may treat you favorably."

"Bah, delusion".Xue Qian spit and flew towards the general of Wei State. He raised the bronze sword in his hand and was about to cut it off, but he felt weak for a while.After fighting for such a long time, he was already exhausted.

Insufficient strength, the saliva fell in front of the Wei general, just in front of him: "Xue Qian, don't be shameless, if it weren't for your father, you still have a little prestige in the Zhao army. You can let our soldiers , shed less blood when annexing Zhao, you thought Ben would keep you until now."

Xue Li didn't answer either, secretly conserving his strength.The forty or fifty private soldiers next to him understood and secretly regained their strength.

General Wei Guo seemed to understand their intentions, and looked at them deliberately provocatively: "Stop talking? Delaying time? Guess, why did you only have 600 when I fought with you with a thousand soldiers in the future?" ".

"not good".Xue Qian reacted in an instant, mustering up the remaining strength and slashing at the Wei general.

General Wei Guo seemed to have expected this result a long time ago, and retreated: "Since you want to die with all your heart, this general will fulfill you."

As soon as the words fell, hundreds of soldiers from the state of Wei attacked Xue Qian and the others without reservation.Seeing this, four to fifty private soldiers quickly surrounded Xue Qian, guarding them in the middle and fighting with Wei soldiers.

How could he survive while serving the country? Xue Qian took advantage of the gap, raised the bronze sword in his hand, rushed into the soldiers of Wei State and fought again.

The number of people was too small and the physical strength was exhausted, and private soldiers fell into a pool of blood.Seeing this, Xue Qian was furious, and stabbed a Wei soldier with the bronze sword in his hand.

The soldiers of the State of Wei used their swords first, and then stabbed Xue Qian.Seeing this, some private soldiers rushed from the side to block the fatal blow.

The general became angry when he saw this, and looked at the soldiers around him.The soldiers seemed to have been ordered, and one by one, they mustered up their strength and rushed towards Xue Qian and his party.

The private soldiers fell in a pool of blood one after another, and there were only a dozen or so left in the blink of an eye.If it wasn't for the generals of the Wei State who wanted to capture Xue Qian alive, he might have died countless times.

Xue Qian felt grief and indignation in his heart, but there was nothing he could do about it. Forget it, he has tried his best now, in order not to embarrass his family, he should do it himself.Thinking of this, he raised the bronze sword in his hand and was about to wipe it off his neck.

Just when Xue Qian decided to dig himself, there was a deafening sound of horseshoes coming from the front.Arrows flew from the sky one after another, and the soldiers of Wei State fell in a pool of blood one after another.

Immediately after the sound of swords and soldiers clashing, Zhao Wuming's voice appeared next to his ears: "Captain Xue, why are you doing it yourself?"

Hearing the familiar voice, he let go of the sword and dropped it to the ground.Xue Qian looked at Zhao Wuming in disbelief, speechless in surprise.

"Does Captain Xue not know me?"Seeing Xue Qian's surprised look, Zhao Wuming smiled.

Xue Qian came back to his senses slowly, and pointed at the soldiers behind him who were fighting with the soldiers of Wei State, without making a sound.

Seeing Xue Qian's appearance, Zhao Wuming was not in a hurry to explain, he patted the horse's back lightly, and the horse turned to look forward: "What does Captain Xue want to ask?"

"Last night, I heard that the four young masters had secretly gathered troops to seek rebellion, and were imprisoned by the king. At first I didn't believe it at all, but now I am a little confused."Xue Qian pondered for a long time, and finally expressed the question in his heart.

A smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Wuming's mouth. This person's courage is really good. Under such a look, he dared to ask such a question: "Doubt? Can you be more specific."

"The fourth son's soldiers are very elite."Xue Qian looked at the front, and answered some questions that were not on point.

Zhao Wuming obviously understood what Xue Qian was asking about: "This is an elite army. If I want to rebel and take revenge, now is a golden opportunity. But my son, why didn't I do it?"

"This is also what Qian wondered. Where did the fourth son get elite soldiers? Why didn't he kill the king instead of wasting time with me?"Xue Qian looked at Zhao Wuming with vigilance and doubts in his eyes.

Zhao Wuming looked at Xue Qian, thinking of Handan's subconscious emotion: "If an effective defense cannot be organized in a very short period of time, then the State of Zhao may perish."

"So that's the case. It seems that the son has known about this accident for a long time, so he borrowed elite soldiers from the hands of the princes of the clan's clan."Xue Qian suddenly realized that it is said that when the fourth son was young, he met a respectable royal family member and loved him very much.The clan passed away more than ten years ago, two young masters, Zhao Yu and Zhao Fan.Only then did he have the courage to instigate the Fourth Young Master to create the scene of the ancestor worship ceremony.

Zhao Wuming looked at the relieved Xue Qian with some doubts: "Who can lend me such elite soldiers and horses? At the same time, they can be sent outside Handan without anyone noticing."

"The fourth son has the legacy of Lord Anyang in the past, and with conclusive evidence, how dare our Zhao family not try our best."When Xue Qian mentioned Mr. Anyang, his tone was full of respect.

Mr. Anyang is a legend, and also the soul of the previous generation of royal family.When Zhao Wuming was born, Zhao Wang killed his mother.Mr. Anyang felt Zhao Wuming's misery and brought him up on the grounds that he had no children.It's a pity that Zhao Wuming returned to the palace after his death more than ten years ago due to old age.

Feeling those memories in his mind, Zhao Wuming was silent, changed the topic for a long time and told his surroundings: "Bring a war horse to Captain Xue".

"promise".The soldiers obeyed, quickly got off their horses, and handed a war horse to Xue Qian.

Xue Qian seemed to have thought of something after taking over the horse, and quickly turned his gaze to Zhao Wuming, with a hasty look on his face: "No, the prince and queen are in danger."
