Chapter 181 Casualties
"Xiong Yuan, pack up your things, and take the young master away as soon as my husband and I lure the team away. My child, you have to take care of yourself when your mother is not by your side in the future."

Yuan Shi hasn't experienced the feeling of heartbeat for a long time.

After he learned that Cui Zhu was on his way, his already calm heart beat rapidly again.For the first time in his life, he worried about what to wear.

Looking at the all-too-familiar face in the bronze mirror, he was still so handsome, but there were some wrinkles on the corners of his eyes and brows, and these wrinkles added to his mature and stable temperament.

Time flies, changing him from a handsome young man to a handsome uncle.Looking back on the past, everything seems to have happened yesterday.Yuan Shi is not a person who mourns the spring and the autumn, so he doesn't feel much.Only the past with Cui Zhu haunted him.

Just when he hadn't thought about what to say when he reunited with Yiren for a while, someone hurried in and told him that the Shi family's vehicle had arrived at the gate of Shen's residence.

He took another look at himself in the bronze mirror, it was exactly the same as when he first saw Cui Zhu that year, he nodded with satisfaction, and walked out full of anticipation.

He ignored Shi Zhong, the richest man in Jin Dynasty, who was standing beside the car with a pale face, and his eyes were all focused on behind the slowly opening curtain.The moment Cui Zhu got out of the car, time seemed to go back to that year, to the outskirts of Langya.

His Adam's apple moved involuntarily, and he, who was always articulate, was suddenly speechless.

Yi Ren is still so beautiful, the ruthless time seems to be particularly merciful to her, leaving almost no trace of time on her body.

In such an instant, Yuan Shi's eyes suddenly became moist, and he was suddenly as nervous as the young man in his early twenties when he first met Cui Zhu.

"Zhu'er, you and I finally meet again." Master Shen, who had power over the government and the public, said softly with a slightly trembling voice.

"Is the sword on your waist the one I gave you back then?"

"Exactly," Yuan Shi quickly said, "It has been by my side all these years."

"Can you let me see again." Cui Zhu said with a smile.

Yuan Shi immediately untied the long sword, held it in both hands, and was about to send it over in person.But seeing Cui Zhuyu's hand, a strong force has already grabbed the sword out of thin air.She looked at the scabbard quietly, and said leisurely, "How long has it been since this farewell?"

"28 years and seven months."

"It's rare that you remember so clearly." Cui Zhu raised her head and said lightly, "I can't even remember."

Seeing that Yuan Shi was taken aback when she heard this, she continued to say to herself: "But I can remember when my children were born, or even when they were born, and I can remember when they were born. Every moment of growing up, I can remember what they like and what they don't like. Mr. Shen, things in the past were beautiful. But things have come to this point. I really regret how I fell in love with you so young and ignorant back then. A person who has no bottom line. This matter started because of me, so let it end here. Since I, Cui Zhu, have married into the Shi family, I will be a member of the Shi family in life and death. Husband, see you in the next life!"

After Cui Zhu finished speaking, he wiped his neck with the sword in his hand.A generation of beauties slowly withered and fell down like this.

"Zhu'er!" Shi Zhong cried out in grief and indignation, holding Cui Zhu's slowly falling body, tears streaming down his face.Then he raised his head viciously and looked at Yuan Shi who seemed to have lost his soul, and suddenly stretched out his hand to gouge out one of his eyes, and shouted sharply with blood on his face: "Yuan Shi, Shi Chong and his wife take a step first. I will keep this eye , just to see how you, a man without a king and no father, will be punished and wiped out of the nine clans in the future!"

After Shi Zhong said this, he immediately picked up the sword that had fallen to the side, and wiped it on his neck in the same way, and the couple fell down together hugging each other like this.

Yingshui originated from Songshan Mountain in Zhongyue, meandering eastward, flowing through Yangcheng, Yangzhai, Xuchang and other places, and finally poured into Huaihe River.The two sides of Yingshui River have always been romantic and romantic. It is said that the ancient great sage Dayu summoned the tribal leaders in Yangcheng, and was finally elected as the lord of the world by everyone.

Since then, there have been countless sages and famous ministers on both sides of Yingshui, especially in the late Shang Dynasty, more than half of the Yingshui celebrities who assisted Emperor Wu of Zhou in unifying the north.At that time, he was known as a celebrity of Yingshui for half of the world!

General Longxiang Dong Ai was born near Yingshui.He was originally a talent that Yang Jun valued very much, and he was single-handedly promoted by Yang Jun.When Yang Jun was overthrown, he asked for his resignation, but the court refused.He came to Shangluo with a few subordinates in casual clothes to collect the body of Yang Jun, who no one dared to collect, and buried it in a grand manner.This move won the praise of monks in Shangluo and even the world.Afterwards, not only was he not dismissed and taken into custody, but he was promoted to the third-rank general Longxiang, guarding Shouchun, an important town in Huainan.

A few days ago, Qi Wang Li Jiong wanted to crusade Zhao Wang Li Lun, and the letter of avenging the late emperor Li Zhong came to him. He immediately signed the alliance letter and led his troops to the north. .In his eyes, the actions of people like Zhao Wang and Yuan Shi are treasonous and immoral, and everyone will be punished every day.

It is already May at this time, the Dragon Boat Festival has just passed, and the weather has begun to heat up.The light rain a few days ago made the originally calm Yingshui start to stir up.Although it is not difficult for a monk with a deep cultivation base to leap over the water that is more than ten feet wide, the march of the army is not just for those monks with a deep cultivation base.Dong Ai's striker, Sima, had already asked people to cut wood to build a pontoon bridge. When Dong Ai rode a tall horse to the bank of Yingshui, the two pontoon bridges were almost completed.

"Okay!" Seeing the rapid progress, Dong Ai couldn't help but beam with joy, pointed his horsewhip forward, and said loudly: "After Yingshui is Yangcheng County. One of the eight passes in Shangluo is Jiban Pass. This is in Yangcheng County. As long as we occupy the Gusaka Pass, we will open the gate to Shangluo. Soldiers, please give encouragement to the soldiers of all ministries. Thief's first success."

"Yes!"

Chen Min frowned as everyone rode away.That day, he and some Huainan monks fought out before the city gate was closed, and then ran all the way to Xuchang to find Zhendong General Qi Wang Li Jiong.After hearing what he said about Shangluo, Li Jiong cried bitterly on the spot, and then spread the word to the world, calling on CD Wang Liying, the general who guarded Yecheng, CD Wang Liying, who guarded Chang'an, Hejian Wang Li Yong, who guarded Xiangyang, and Zhennan general who guarded Xiangyang. Li Xin, the king of Xinye, sent troops together to attack the rebels Li Lun, Yuan Shi, Zhang Lin and others.After learning the news that General Longxiang Dong Ai had sent troops to the north, Chen Min immediately approached the King of Qi and asked to follow Dong Ai to advance to Shangluo as a forward.

"General," Chen Min clasped his fists and saluted, "after passing Yingshui, it is less than two hundred miles away from Guban Pass. As the gateway from Shangluo to South, it is impossible not to guard it with heavy troops. From the point of view of our subordinates, we You need to be careful. Let the scouts go to explore the road first, and then the army will cross the river."

"Chen Dudu (Qi Wang Li Jiong worshiped Chen Min as his supervisor) is overwhelmed." Dong Ai smiled and said, "King Zhao disobeyed human relations, and all the righteous people in the world were indignant. We raised the flag of righteousness, and the four sides responded. King Zhao and others were disappointed. With few help, it is a fluke to be able to defend the Gusaka pass. How can you go out of the pass and attack the crowd with a few? Scouts are everywhere, not to mention the delay. Let the scouts on Zhao Wang see it, and they will definitely step up their defenses The soldiers are very fast. I waited for Yingshui, Qingqi went first, and took the Kusaka Pass by surprise. Get ready to cross the river."

After hearing Dong Ai's words, Chen Min retreated silently, and rode to his camp.He brought a total of [-] people with him this time, some from Huainan, some from Yuzhou, and some from Xuzhou.The morale of the big guys was very high, and they shouted every day to enter Shangluo and capture Zhao Wang Li Lun, the traitor alive.

"Captain," seeing him coming back, a strong man with a height of seven feet and a beard greeted him and said, "How is the front? When does General Long Xiang arrange for us to cross the river?"

This person is called Jiao Da, from the Qingzhou Plain, he has been in Shangluo for many years, but he has never made a good appearance.That day when Huainan King attacked the palace, he immediately joined Huainan King's team and fought with everyone.Unexpectedly, King Huainan was on the verge of failure and was overthrown by Yuan Shi.Although he looks rough and bold, his mind is very delicate.Seeing that Chen Min was leaving alone, he hurriedly called a few close friends to leave with Chen Min.These people rushed out of the city gate together and came to Qi Wang Li Jiong.Li Jia worshiped Chen Min as the supervisor under the account, and Jiao Da and others followed Chen Min and became a general under Chen Min's account.

Jiao Da has been very happy these days from a monk who was doing nothing in Shangluo to a sergeant under King Qi's tent.In his opinion, King Qi not only has a strong army, but also has a rightful reputation for raising troops this time.Since the king of Qi raised the banner, thousands of monks have come to join the tent of the king of Qi every day, including Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Yanzhou and so on. Xia Shangluo captured Zhao Wang alive, and wanted to kill Yuan Shi, a man who dared to kill the king, and kill the nine clans.

With such a big momentum, in Jiao Da's view, even if he pushes with the crowd, he can push Shangluo to the level.

"Maybe if you are lucky this time, if you make a great contribution, maybe you can also win a title." These days Jiao Da sees the growing team every day, and this thought will pop up in his mind, "If this is the case, when the time comes Go back to your homeland, and return to the plains to find a good wife and live a happy life.”

"Jiao Da," Chen Min looked at Jiao Da's expectant eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, "Let everyone get ready, the pontoon bridge will be erected soon, and we will cross the river as soon as the order arrives."

"Okay!" Jiao Da responded excitedly, and was about to turn around and leave when Chen Min stopped him again.

"Let the brothers put on their armors." When he came out this time, King Qi specially allocated them fifty sets of armors and twenty horses, so the expectations for him were not low.

"Captain, you don't need to be so careful." Jiao Da said with a look of embarrassment on his face, "The surrounding friendly troops don't wear armor, if we wear armor, it will make everyone laugh."

"I said kimono is kimono. Jiao Da, this is a military camp, you don't know what the military order is, do you?" Chen Min said with a cold face.

About an hour later, just as Chen Min led the people across the pontoon bridge, they heard the sound of horseshoes faintly coming from the north.

"Not good!" Chen Min was shocked, turned over and immediately shouted: "Enemy attack! All the soldiers line up to meet the enemy!" But half of the people crossed the bridge, and they continued to cross the bridge.But the loose flags that crossed the bridge were not in order, and the battalions were in chaos, and they didn't know where they belonged.In an instant, the panicked crowd ran around in a mess.

Chen Min looked at all this and was very anxious.When I looked up again, I saw the enemy cavalry in the distance rolling in like a raging sea wave. These knights in armor had already held their bows and arrows in their hands. It is estimated that within a few breaths, I had already entered the opponent's side. shooting range.

At this moment, he heard someone shouted not far from his right: "If you flee, you will die. If you are a good man, follow me, Fan Yang and Di Jiajing, to meet the enemy."

His heart became hot, and he saw that Di Jiajing came out in a row, and rushed towards the opposing team one by one. Chen Min also clamped his horse's belly fiercely, raised his long sword and echoed loudly: "Chen Min in Huainan is willing to follow Di Jiajing." It belongs to killing the enemy."

With the two of them taking the lead, for a while, monks mounted their horses and followed the two of them, rushing towards the knights who were also galloping forward.

"Fire arrows!"

After a round of arrow rain, both sides threw away the longbows in their hands, and everyone roared like beasts, rushing towards each other with big knives and spears and fighting.For a while, screams and screams continued, and stumps and broken arms flew all over the sky.

"Hmph, how brave I am as the Zhendong Army, but I don't want to be a bunch of local chickens and dogs." Not far away, the middle-aged general in bright armor riding on a tall horse with a majestic face saw that the iron cavalry under his command The rebels rushing back and forth couldn't help but sneered.Then he waved his horsewhip: "Soldiers, follow me across the river and take down Yangdi. Tonight we will have wine in Yangdi city to celebrate."

Historical records: In May of the fourth year of Yonghe, Zhang Hong, the general who conquered captives under the command of King Zhao, attacked Bandu with a thousand cavalry, and defeated General Dong Ai of Longxiang at the bank of Yingshui.Then they crossed Yingshui, without stopping, and made a surprise attack on Yangzhai, the place where Qi Wang Li Jiong's luggage was located.After the rebel army lost Yangdi, they had to retreat hundreds of miles, and they were taken away by it for a while.

General Zhang Hong's armored torrent came and went quickly.Chen Min watched the last cavalry disappear on the other side of Yingshui, and took another look at the ruined battlefield, feeling a little discouraged.

Lost too fast!
The opponent's iron cavalry seemed to have entered the land of no one, and instantly rushed the team here to pieces.The resistance of their little manpower seemed so insignificant under this torrent.It was just a few impacts, and the ground was covered with the corpses of rebel soldiers or the screams of wounded soldiers.

It was also fortunate that the opponent only dispersed them and continued to cross the river to chase down the follow-up troops who retreated in panic, which did not cause them more casualties.

Just as he was hesitating, he saw that Fan Yang Di Jiajing whom he had just met in the East Mansion of King Qi Town returned to the middle of the battlefield and set up a banner that seemed to be in good condition.The sergeants who had fled in every corner of the battlefield saw the big flag and slowly gathered around where he was standing.
