Late Tang

In the first year of Guangming, seeing the chaos in the world, Wei Bo Jiedu envoy Han Jian, who had the heart of chasing the deer, was unwilling to be lonely.In the sixth year of Qianfu, he fought against Li Jing with the Hebei Zhuzhen Alliance, but he was beaten so badly that he almost pissed on his butt. After withdrawing to Weibo, he was honest for a long time.

However, seeing the situation in Hebei slipping step by step into an irretrievable abyss, old buddies Li Keju, Liu Yue, Liu Rengong, Li Quanzhong, Li Keyong, etc. were eliminated one after another, which made him feel a deep sense of crisis.In the first year of Guangming, the Qin army and Khitan fought again in the north. Li Jing went all out to look north, and even spared Li Quanzhong and Sha Tuo because of this, but forced them to submit.This allowed him to see a glimmer of opportunity.

Although it wasn't long before Han Jian took over Wei Bojun from his father, only a few years.But Weibo Town has one of the most elite dental soldiers in the world, at least it used to be.There has long been a saying among the emperors, the emperor of Chang'an, Wei Boya soldiers.

With such an elite team, Han Jian really wanted to make a difference in the troubled times.

Seeing that Li Jing seems to have shifted his center of gravity to the north, he is unable to manage Hebei.

At the beginning of February of the first year of Guangming, Han Jian led [-] soldiers and horses to attack Heyang Jiedu envoy Zhuge Shuangyu Xiuwu under the banner of raising troops to serve the king and crusade against the rebellion of the puppet Qi.The Puppet Qi Heyang Jiedu made Zhuge Shuang translate Heyang and fled. The Han army stayed in the army to guard Xiuwu and continued to attack Mengzhou, the capital of Heyang. At the same time, they sent troops north to plunder Xingzhou and Mingzhou in Zhaoyi Town.After a series of actions began, at the end of February, Han Jian, who had repaid the sweetness, crossed the Yellow River arrogantly and sent troops to attack Yunzhou, the capital of Tianping Town.

The Tianping Army Jiedushi, at this time the Marshal of the King Qin Army's Henan Camp, Yu Jing, raised his troops to fight, and the two sides fought on the south bank of the Yellow River.

The two sides fought for several days, and each suffered injuries.

When Li Jing heard the news in Yanjing, he immediately sent an order to Shandong province to ask the governor of Shandong to send troops to help Yu Jian.

The governor of Shandong received the order and immediately sent five brothers, Zhu Xuan and Zhu Jin, the brave generals of the young and strong faction under his command, as forwards.On the third day of March, the five Zhu Xuan brothers raided Han Jian's food transport team, and then changed to Wei Bojun's banner.

The five Zhu brothers led their subordinates to pretend to be the Korean army's food delivery team, hiding a large number of firearms and crossbows in the team.When they approached the gate of the camp, they rose up to attack and seized the gate, and then led other soldiers waiting outside to rush into Wei Bo's camp. Yu Jian sent troops to attack at the right time. Thirty thousand soldiers and horses are almost gone.

......

He stared at the sail that was getting bigger and bigger for a long time, not knowing whether he wanted to die or live.

It is easy to want to die, he knows, as long as he continues to climb back to the Lu Wei, let this ship pass by, death will come soon.The cold and hunger almost made him weak like a newborn baby, and what was more fatal was not just these, but the arrow wound on his body, which was already red and swollen, and even filled with pus.

Every time he passed, he became weaker and weaker, and he would die in a short time, in this quiet and nameless little place, he told himself.

Maybe he'd starve to death, or freeze to death, before his wounds infected him.

Here he can find nothing to eat, and the only thing he can drink is the cold river water.He tried to catch the fish that passed by the shore, and after all his strength he finally caught one.Then he couldn't wait to open his mouth to bite off a piece, chewed and swallowed it.

But when he took the second bite, he felt that something was wrong with the fish in his mouth. He looked down at the piece of fish that had been bitten off in his hand, and saw half of the fish belly that was bitten off was white and blistered. Human severed finger.

He suddenly understood what he had just eaten, why did he encounter this kind of thing when he was a handsome gentleman since he was a child, he suddenly felt a convulsion in his stomach, vomited continuously, and finally even vomited out sweat.

He couldn't eat that fish anymore, he thought, maybe he would never eat fish again in his life.

That severed finger might be the finger of one of the dead Wei Bo soldiers holding the knife in that defeated battle!

Since not eating fish will make him starve to death, he may not wait until the time to starve to death.He developed a fever, was weak, and had no one around him.When his guards were covering his escape, they were chased and beheaded by the Qin army.

Dead, all dead, only him left.If he hadn't jumped into the Yellow River at that time, he might have died a long time ago.

Now, he regrets it.

The attack on Heyang was so smooth that he forgot to be careful.He shouldn't have crossed the river to attack Tianping Town. The Tianping Army is actually a vassal of the Qin Army, and Yu Yu is Li Jing's old father-in-law.But he hit Yunzhou himself, isn't this hitting the knife's edge?

Those damn guys, the five Zhu brothers?A name he had never heard of, a few unknown juniors, but ruined his [-] army.

He has escaped the Yellow River, on the north bank.It's just that he doesn't know whether he is in Weizhou or Bozhou. Maybe he is in Dezhou or Dizhou?

He couldn't tell whether the battle ended three days ago or four days ago, but several times he found that a Qin army team was dragging past to search.They paddled the river and rode horses on the bank, looking for any fish that missed.Once discovered, it is absolutely impossible to escape their pursuit and can only be reduced to a prisoner of war.

It was not warm in the reed marsh, it was still early March, it was humid and rainy, and the daytime was relatively good.But the night was getting colder and colder, and the night wind blew past from time to time, followed by white mist, which would soak his whole body and make him tremble.

Fever and cold attacked him in turn, accompanied by hunger, making him miserable.

Hunger, fever, raids, these are his only friends these days!Every day, every hour is there for him.

He was already thinking about which method of death he would choose, whether to starve to death, to freeze to death, or to die from a fever would be considered a little more dignified, comparable to his status as a commander-in-chief.Maybe he should climb a few more steps forward. In front of him is the Yellow River, and plunge into it. From then on, no one will find him so pitifully starving to death, freezing to death, or dying of disease on this bank.

But now there was another sail on the water. From a distance, it was just a small spot, but it got bigger and bigger.

That ship was not a warship, it looked like a small merchant ship, perhaps a passenger ship traveling to and from the Yellow River.

Han Jian stared fixedly at the sailing ship with his pale, red and swollen eyes, trying to see the ship's number clearly.

It was the first time since the war that he found a ship that wasn't carrying soldiers.Because of the war, there have been no civilian ships on this section of the water for several days, and this is the first one.

The boat was getting closer and closer, as long as he shouted vigorously after a while, the people on the boat would definitely be able to hear him.

If he wants to live, he should cry.

should i shout?Should I live?

Han Jian thought as tears blurred his eyes.

why?

His [-]-strong army was wiped out, and even he himself was fatally wounded.Having suffered such a big defeat, especially after challenging Li Jing, maybe the Tianping Army and the Qin Army are mobilizing their troops and preparing to counterattack Wei Bo.How could Wei Bozhen deal with Li Jing?And look around, who can help him?

Is it Wang Jingchong?He couldn't take care of himself, and the same mud bodhisattva crossed the river, and he couldn't protect himself.Maybe after returning, his injury can be cured, maybe he can survive for a few more years, but in the end, he will still be a loser.Li Jing will capture Weibo and destroy the Weibo army. The Weibo town his father conquered back then and the Weibo town handed over to him will cease to exist.

Without Wei Bozhen, how should I live, and how can I face my father?

Going back is just waiting for the day of being destroyed, which is no different from waiting for death.

When the Qin army raided the camp, it was under their banner, and the camp guards didn't even suspect them.When the counterfeit Wei Bojun suddenly launched an attack, Wei Bojun was completely stunned.Including the Wei Bo Ya soldiers that he has always been proud of, this time, [-] Wei Bo Ya soldiers joined the team.

But in that surprise battle, facing the onslaught of the Qin army, Wei Bo's soldiers were as stupid as they were. They reacted slowly, acted stiffly, and had no power to resist.

He overestimated Wei Bojun and underestimated Qin Jun.

His eldest son led the guards to try to stop all this, but he saw helplessly that the eldest son was pierced through his chest by a Qin general who rushed in front, lifted him high, and then his body was thrown off the horse.

His second son wanted to avenge his elder brother, but was shot through the throat with an arrow by another Qin general. Blood and bubbles kept gushing out from there. The face is gone, the pain is over.

His third son has been by his side, escorting him from the battlefield.The third son has always been his favorite son. He is only 16 years old, but he is brave and extraordinary, with the courage of ten thousand enemies.But in the end, in order to cover him and escape, his son stayed behind, led more than ten cavalry and dragged hundreds of pursuers, and finally died of exhaustion.

When he finally looked back, he happened to see his son kneeling on the ground covered in blood, his eyes wide open, and he was dying.

The crackling of flames, the explosion of firearms, the cracking of bows and crossbows, the trampling of iron hooves, the screams of dying soldiers, and the piercing sound of swords cutting into bodies.

Perhaps all he had to do now was lie still, and in a little while he would be reunited with his children.Sleeping in the yellow mud at the bottom of the river bed, he let the carp in the Yellow River bite his face or eat his fingers.

In this way, he no longer has to wait for the day of destruction day after day for the rest of his life, and he doesn't have to watch Wei Bo Town decline day by day.

Finally, he took a deep breath, then struggled to sit up, and yelled fiercely towards the sail that was getting closer and closer.

The voice is hoarse and dry, but it is unusually sharp and loud!

He was unwilling, unwilling to die like this.He didn't want to just die silently in the reeds on the bank of such an unknown river. His three sons died, and he wanted revenge.If he can survive, then every day he survives, he will live in hatred, even if he hits a stone with an egg, he will hit Li Jing with blood all over his body!

The continuous shouting exhausted his mental strength, and when the sail was getting closer, his vision was dark and he fainted.

When he regained consciousness again, the sun was out.

Lying on a bed in a dry cabin, he sat up, feeling his fever go away.He looked at the ship, and there was a sound of footsteps, and a thin man walked in, "Who are you?" He asked.

A section handsome, Han Jian thought, a section handsome who once proclaimed himself king is also an arrogant idiot who was punished.

His throat was so dry that he forgot how to pronounce words, and the words that came out turned out to be so strange that they were foreign even to his own ears.

"I have led soldiers, I have fought wars. I am... a general, a commander in chief!"

"Ah, Marshal?" the man asked, "Which feudal town is the Marshal Jie?"

This ship is likely to belong to Li Jing, Han Jian suddenly thought.

If he said the wrong thing now, maybe his life would be over.

Well, no.He saw blue stripes peeking out from under the man's hat.

He is a member of Wei Bojun, he is a soldier in Bozhou, and he is his own.

"I am Han Jian!" He shouted at the man, "God bless Haotian, I am Han Jian, the Jiedushi of Weibo Town, Han Jian, King of Wei County!"

"Ah!" The man was extremely surprised, and then replied in a panic, "Me too, we too, and we are all from Weibo Town!" (To be continued.)
