Wei and Jin Cooks - Chapter 819
Everyone lowered their heads and did not speak. Shi Le also knew that this was not the time to pursue, and said: “Announce him, and also, dispatch troops from the other two armies to intercept them on the official roads leading to Yuzhou and Jianye!”
As soon as Kong Chang arrived, Shi Le asked him to leave the city overnight, “Return to the camp immediately. If Gou Xi is still there, immediately lead someone to take him down. If he has rebelled, immediately send someone to chase him.”
Shi Le’s face was stinky, and he said calmly: “If he is willing to surrender again, that’s all. If he dares to resist, he will be shot!”
Kong Chang responded and immediately led people out of the city and back to camp.
Before returning to the camp, he encountered hundreds of thousands of soldiers rushing to report the news. Kong Chang heard that Gou Xi had really rebelled and escaped from the camp. Angry and cold, he immediately led his men back to the camp and lit another fire. A large army went after him.
Gou Xi ran away all night, pursued by the pursuers, they only stopped to rest at dawn, and stuffed something into their mouths.
Gou Xi plotted the distance in his mind, thinking that one day he would be close to the border of Yuzhou, and wondered whether Zhao Ju’s defenders could meet them.
Just as he was feeling anxious, a scout rushed over and said, “General, there is an abnormality ahead, and there seems to be an ambush.”
When Gou Xi heard this, he lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then said: “Shi Le’s right army is in the west of Puyang County, he must have transferred troops from the right army, go check how many people there are.”
Gou Xi had already looked around, thinking about where to break out from in his mind, and just as he was thinking, he heard the sound of galloping horses.
He immediately got up to warn, and just got on the horse, the scouts came stumbling and said: “General, the pursuers are here!”
Gou Xi heard it, and immediately said: “Let’s break through the siege ahead, and ten miles ahead there is a small road leading to Chengyang, let’s make a detour to Chengyang.”
Everyone agreed and got on their horses immediately, but they ran into the Shi Le army ambushing here after only five miles. Although they were prepared, they still suffered heavy losses before breaking out. Gou Xi took the remaining thousand people and Gou Xi Chun Wang Zan and others ran onto the path, and continued to flee in a state of embarrassment.
After running for a while, the pursuers couldn’t catch up for a while, their horses were so tired that they spouted white foam, Wang Zan stopped the horse, called Gou Xi and said, “General, you can go, I’ll take someone to stay to replace you.” You block one or two.”
Gou Xi hurriedly reined in the horse and turned back, “No, let’s go together!”
Wang Zan smiled wryly, turned his body slightly to let him look at his back, “I can’t go anymore, you should go quickly.”
Gou Xi saw that the clothes on his back were wet and red, and there was a knife mark on the clothes from the shoulder to the waist. He didn’t look forward, but with his many years of experience, the knife must be deep enough to see the bone, but the knife is deep, the wound Small, so he didn’t fall down at this time.
Gou Xi grasped the reins tightly, jumped off the horse, opened his clothes and tore off a belt to help him bandage.
Wang Zan did not refuse, it would be good to slow down the blood flow, but he rejected Gou Xi’s proposal to give him medicine and take him away, he shook his head and said: “I can’t live anymore, you take it with you I can’t go far, so hurry up and run for your life.”
Wang Zan even gave him the horse, “Bring one more horse, and you can change it when you are tired from running. As long as you enter Yuzhou, you will be safe.”
The two have always been allies, even when they surrendered to Shi Le, they were good friends. Wang Zan advised him sincerely: “I know, you were born in a poor family, and it is extremely difficult to change from extravagance to frugality. Who can live a comfortable life? Would you like to restrain yourself like an ascetic?”
“However, when a man walks in the world, he should be persistent. You can be said to be a famous general through the ages. Although you were defeated by Shi Le this time, you are not as good as you,” Wang Zan said, “Don’t forget. He fought out of Jizhou and became a polished general, so he had to leave Bingzhou and join Liu Yuan.”
“You have the title of reincarnated Baiqi, and your martial arts and martial arts are not weaker than anyone at present. Why destroy yourself just to be more comfortable?”
If someone else said this, Gou Xi would have blown up, or if Wang Zan had said before that, he would break off friendship with Wang Zan, but at this time, the man was about to die, and Wang Zan had to stop the pursuers for him, Gou Xi There was only emotion and shame left in my heart.
With tears in his eyes, he stopped Gou Chun who was about to get angry behind him, nodded and said: “You are right, after this time, I will definitely correct it.”
Wang Zan breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled at him: “This is not only your luck, but also the country’s luck.”
Wang Zan felt that he was running out of time, so he couldn’t help nagging for a moment, “Look at Zhao Hanzhang, she’s a girl from a wealthy background, she was born rich and well-clothed, and she suffered from poverty for the sake of her family and country. Why not?”
Gou Xi took his hand for a while, and the emotion in his heart dissipated a little. Wang Zan didn’t notice it, but he held his hand instead, and said with a serious expression on his face: “Zhao Hanzhang has a broad mind, but there must be many people under her. Sarcasm, don’t worry about it, just treat them like dogs barking, your majesty is in trouble, and the state of Jin still needs your support.”
Gou Xi tried his best to maintain his expression and responded, and Gou Chun said violently behind him: “Brother, the pursuers are coming.”
Wang Zan let go of his hand and urged him: “Let’s go quickly, don’t delay.”
Gou Xi hesitated for a moment, but still jumped on the horse, and clasped fists at Wang Zan.
Wang Zan led a group of people to stay in ambush to stop the pursuers, while Gou Xi continued to flee.
The ones who were left behind were basically wounded soldiers. They also knew that they would not survive this time, so they all made up their determination to die, thinking that even if they died, they would have to be backed.
It’s just that he died like this, and he felt a little unwilling in the end, so before the pursuers arrived, the soldiers asked Wang Zan, who was lying next to them, “General Wang, can the general really change? I heard that the general is cute. I’m a beauty, and I love beauties, but I haven’t married a daughter-in-law yet.”
The soldier on the other side snorted and said, “What’s the matter, I haven’t even seen a woman before.”
“I have!” Another soldier said: “I married a wife, but unfortunately I can’t remember her appearance. On the third day of our marriage, when I sent her home, I was forced to come here on the way. I don’t know. Is she still alive now, did she live with my father and mother, or did she remarry?”
Wang Zan heard the sadness in his heart, and asked: “Who were you forced to come?”
“General Xiaogou.”
Wang Zan asked, “Then why are you still willing to rebel against us?”
The soldier gave him a silly smile and said, “My family is in Henan County. Didn’t the general say that he would flee to Yuzhou this time? I just thought, if I can escape to Yuzhou, maybe I can go home?” General Zhao said to the soldiers It’s good to be famous, but if you can’t go back to your hometown, life in Yuzhou will be easier.”
Wang Zan’s eyes became hot, and he asked in a low voice: “We can’t live now, do you regret it?”
“I don’t regret it, that Jiehu didn’t have enough food and grass and wanted to eat people. If he stayed there, he would be treated as a two-legged sheep at some point. Although he died a few days earlier, he was not taken to wrap his belly.”
The pursuers arrived, and when Shi Le’s army chased out of this land, it seemed that blood had just rained on the grass on both sides.
Wang Zan’s body was lying on the side of the road, Shi Le’s army didn’t deal with his body, and planned to wait until Gou Xi was chased back.
