Chapter 66 Zhongshan Wolf 4
Tian Bure showed a feminine smile at the corners of his mouth, narrowed his slender eyes and muttered, "As long as the master father is still there for one day, the ownership of Zhao's country will not be settled."
Zhao Zhang said with a solemn face; "Sir, please tell me, Zhang is willing to hear more about it."
"Who is the master? He is extraordinary, he is a hero, and there is no one before, and there is no one after him. But he is also a human, and he also has his shortcomings and flaws, that is, 'affecable'.
"A sentiment?" Zhao Zhang was stunned and asked when he heard the words.
"Yes, it is his affection, love and family affection that he can't live without the bond of feelings all his life. This is the biggest flaw of the master."
"But whoever is a king, ruthlessness is the best choice. He can cut off unnecessary fetters and concentrate on the king's affairs, so that he can achieve great things. But the master's father is exactly the opposite. Because he spoils Wu Wa, he is ridiculous to abandon the prince who has been cultivated for many years as the crown prince, and set up an ignorant child as the king. It is necessary to know that the abolition of Changliyou has always been a taboo in the country and a source of turmoil.
"If the master's father is really determined to abolish you, the safest way is to put you under house arrest, so that you can eliminate the war internally. But instead of doing this, the master's father felt sorry for the prince because of the abolition, and usually compensated him in every way. Now in the Zhao army, the prince has undoubtedly become the second most popular figure after the master's father. As for the king, do you think a child can order to live in those arrogant soldiers and tough generals?
Zhao Zhang's eyes showed a faint sense of excitement, and he suppressed the joy in his heart and said, "What should I do according to my husband's meaning?"
Tian's eyes showed a little smile and said, "It's very simple. Don't do anything to adapt to changes."
"Do nothing?" Zhao Yong was curious and asked. Please teach me,"
"The master is very shrewd. If we are careful or play tricks in front of him, we will definitely not be hidden from him, but will be hated by him, which is unfavorable to the prince. If you are still filial and humble to the master's father as before, you will have continuous military achievements, so that you will have a lot more chips in the master's heart.
"Even so, what can we do?" Zhao Zhang couldn't help saying, "Now that Zhao He has become the king of Zhao, and the wood has become a boat, even if I have the ability to pass through heaven, what can I do?"
"It's not." A fine light flashed in Tian's eyes.
"What the prince said was very wrong. It is precisely because Zhao He has succeeded to the throne that you will have a chance."
"There is no two days in the sky, and there are no two lords in the people, but now we have two monarchs in the State of Zhao, one is the master and the other is the king. It is not difficult for anyone with knowledge to see that this is the biggest hidden danger of the State of Zhao. The master's idea was very good. He was in charge of the army outside, and the king was focused on handling government affairs and relying on each other without interfering. However, he obviously overestimated his control ability. He thought that everything could be under his control and continued according to the idea he set earlier, but he forgot the potential hidden dangers and Mao Dun.
"The monarchy of the State of Zhao has always been weak, and there has even been several chaos caused by the fall of the monarchy. It was in view of this that the centralization of power was greatly strengthened after the lord's accession to the throne, and the royal power was concentrated to an unprecedented level in the State of Zhao. If there is no tiger charm, it will not be possible to mobilize a soldier from Handan, and the person in charge of the tiger charm is the king. Even if the master is the father of the king, he has to follow the rules and procedures set when he was in office. In the long run, according to the arrogant character of the master, it is difficult to ask a child for instructions, even if this child is his favorite son.
"Although the king is young, he may not have the heart to seize power, but there are Gong Zicheng and Feiyi around him. These two are firm supporters of the king's power. They must defend the king's power in everything and limit the master's transcendence to the king's power. Moreover, the foundation of the master's father is in the army. The civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty have no good impression on him. It can even be said that many people are hostile to him. When it comes to the "hufu riding and shooting" promoted by the master, the real interests are the children of these rich families who are damaged. If the master and the king clash, these people will inevitably fall to the king's side without hesitation, "
"If there is a gap between the master and the king, it will naturally be a God-given opportunity for you, and you must not miss it. But now the prince wants to keep a low profile. Remember that indisputable everything is the best way to fight. The more you keep a low profile, the deeper the Lord's guilt will be, and the more generous the compensation you will be.
Zhao Zhang nodded with an excited face and said, "If Zhang can really get what he wants, he will treat him with the courtesy of a national scholar, and he will live up to it in this life!"
Tian Fuli bowed with a hippie smile and said, "Thank you so much, prince."
Zhao Zhang laughed and was about to say a few polite words, but he saw a horse waiting in the distance, so he hurriedly greeted him.
"Report the prince, the Zhongshan army was found five miles away from the north."
Zhao Zhang was overjoyed; "How many people are there?"
"About ten thousand people are all pawns. Looking at their hurried appearance, they are rushing south again, as if they are eager to go south to Lingshou."
"Very good." Zhao Zhang nodded with satisfaction, and his face was full of joy. He raised his whip and smiled and pointed to Tian Bute. "Didn't you let me hide my time and bide my time and accumulate military achievements? Now is the best opportunity. I'm afraid that I haven't been to the battlefield yet. I haven't seen the power of my iron horse of the State of Zhao. I'll let you see it today. What does it mean to swallow mountains and rivers and throw a whip to cut off the flow!"
"It is said that our army is ordered to go north and prepare to annihilate the Zhongshan army."
"No!"
On the field, the iron horse of the State of Zhao, like a long dragon, quickly galloped northward. In less than a moment, it suddenly appeared in the sight of the Zhongshan army.
A black line appeared on the horizon in the sight of Zhongshan soldiers. The black line was like a thin stream of water, and the water was expanding at an amazing speed. Thousands of troops suddenly gushed out from the horizon and poured towards themselves with overwhelming momentum.
The drum horn sounded crazily, and the Zhongshan soldiers tried their best to form a phalanx before the cavalry rushed. This Zhongshan army was the Zhongshan army that withdrew from Danqiu and Huayang. It was ordered by the king to go south to reinforce Lingshou in the capital, but it did not expect to meet the Zhao cavalry that suddenly killed on the road.
This Zhongshan army has been stationed at the border gate for a long time and has been fighting with the Zhao army for many years. It is also an elite division that has been on the battlefield for a long time. Although it was in a hurry, it was barely roughly lined up to resist, avoiding the bad luck of being defeated by the cavalry by the horse.
The shield in the front row stood up, the gap between the shield saw the long gun rising high, and the soldiers in the back row put their shoulders against their shoulders, and they put out a dense formation, trying to resist the strong impact of the cavalry. The archer pushed into the array, relying on the shield array to tighten the bow string, and his hands were full of sweat.
The horse's hoof in his ear roared, and the earth under his feet trembled violently. Seeing Zhao Jun's offensive, Zhongshan's heart pounded with tension, and even the hand holding the long gun trembled. It's not that they haven't faced the powerful Zhao army, nor have they had the experience of a life-and-death battle, but leaving the shelter of the city wall, they directly collided with the famous cavalry of the State of Zhao on the field. There is no doubt that this is the first time.
It's probably the last time!
Four hundred steps!
Three hundred and a half!
Two hundred steps!
The cavalry of the State of Zhao rushed to kill, so close that you could clearly see the hot air of the war horse's nose. Closely, you could see the dark red blood stains on the saber. With the falling of the horse's hoofs, the dust raised in the sky, which choked the Zhongshan soldiers to breathe.
The expected violent collision did not occur. Almost in an instant, the front row of cavalry lined up at the same time, and the momentum of the forward rush has changed to the left and right. The whole team was divided into two, running to the left and right sides with the lightness of flying swallows.
Before the Zhongshan army came to its senses, the cavalry of the State of Zhao had already bowed in their hands, pulling bows and shooting arrows in the sharp wind. In the sharp wind, the rain of arrows kept pouring into the Zhongshan Army. One team shot and another, shooting at the queue of the Zhongshan Army like an endless storm.
There was a scream from the Zhongshan army, and the soldiers in the front row fell down one by one, and blood splashed. The archers in the back row fought back weakly, but most of them were subsided by the cavalry's flexible maneuvers. Instead, the archers who fought back suddenly ushered in a raindrop-like rain.
The arrows kept flying in their ears, watching the companions around him fall one after another. Fear spread quickly in the Zhongshan Army like a plague. The soldiers in the front row retreated desperately, as if only the crowded place was the safest place.
The already dense Zhongshan phalanx is getting denser and denser, which is almost impenetrable, and the dense phalanx has become the target of cavalry shooting. There is almost no need to aim, but only mechanically pull the bow and shoot arrows.
The screams, groans, calls for help and orders were mixed together, and the heavy sense of fear controlled everyone's hearts. If there is purgatory in the world, then the battlefield at this moment is undoubtedly the existence of purgatory!
Finally, some Zhongshan soldiers began to discard their weapons and flags, knelt on the ground trembling and raising their hands. Zhao Jun also stopped shooting aimlessly and concentrated the arrow rain on the phalanx that was still stubbornly resisting.
Soon, the last stubborn resistance also dissipated.
