Under the fierce rain of arrows of the Zhaowu army, the Wei army was killed and wounded.

Zhang Yijing and Chen Zhe were both shocked. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately ordered the troops to retreat.

Soon a soldier came to report that there were thousands of enemy troops in the rear, and it was impossible to retreat the way they came.

"Follow me to the east to kill!" Zhang Yijing said urgently.

The Wei army marched less than half a mile, and thousands of Zhaowu troops appeared in front of them, quickly killing the Wei army.

Chen Zhe said: "The current situation is very obvious, the enemy army has already set up an ambush. No matter where our army is marching, there are enemy forces ahead. For the sake of today, the only way

to fight to the death is to fight!" "It's my fault, I regret not listening to you, leading to such a situation." Zhang Yijing said apologetically.

"Let's put this matter aside for the time being, let's kill it first!"

"Okay, if I can go back safely this time, I will definitely ........." Before he finished speaking, a giant arrow shot Zhang Yijing in the back.

Zhang Yijing fell, his eyes still revealing disbelief.

Chen Zhe was taken aback, and suddenly turned his head to look at the mountain, and could vaguely see more than a dozen bed crossbows, facing him.

Chen Zhe tried his best, desperately attacking in the same direction, but he was never able to break through.

The Zhaowu army contracted the encirclement and surrounded and killed on all sides. Some of the Wei troops did not carry shields, and they suffered heavy casualties under the attack of the archers of the Zhaowu army.

Zhang Yijing was dead, and seeing that it was difficult to win this battle, the morale of the Wei army plummeted.

Chen Zhe was not born in Guanzhong, but a native of Hebei, and had no intention of dying in battle. Seeing that there was no hope of breaking through, he had no choice but to surrender.

Li Zhao, who was standing on a high place watching the battle, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. In order to defeat the Wei army in a short time, the Zhaowu army mobilized more than 16,000 people this time. This is the largest number of soldiers used since the formation of the army. The result did not disappoint him, and Wei Jun did not last for an hour.

Because Chen Zhe gave up resistance, the number of Wei prisoners exceeded the number of casualties, and more than 3,000 people were captured.

As for Chen Zhe, Li Zhao didn't know this person and didn't dare to use it rashly. Like Liu Tianming, he was placed in the reserve army for long-term observation, and the later period depended on the situation.

In the two battles with the Wei army, the Zhaowu army won a complete victory, and the Wei army lost more than 10,000 people. Although it did not make the Wei army give up attacking Hanzhong, it had some impact on the morale of the Wei army.

Next, it's time for someone to deal with it.

..................................................

Zhou Wen was in the house, waiting for news of this battle.

Suddenly, dozens of people broke in, and the leader Zhou Wen knew, who was a newly promoted commander in the army, named Chen Lu.

"Commander Chen, is there something wrong?" Zhou Wen asked.

Chen Lu said expressionlessly: "The marshal is invited, General Zhou, please come with me."

Zhou Wenton felt bad, the soldiers of the Zhaowu Army in the house were all staring at him to prevent him from resisting or escaping.

followed Chen Lu and walked outside Li Zhao's house. was stopped by the soldiers outside the door and searched Zhou Wen. After making sure that there was no sharp blade on his body, he let Zhou Wen into the house.

Li Zhao was eating, he had been busy today, and he didn't eat breakfast.

Seeing that Zhou Wen had arrived, while eating in his mouth, he asked, "Have you eaten?"

"Not yet." "Zhou Wen has been waiting for the battle situation outside Guangyan City, and he really hasn't eaten.

"Sit down first, and we'll talk while we eat.

"Xie Dashuai. Zhou Wen picked up the chopsticks and ate them, and Chen Lu and the others stood behind him all the time.

"There's a question I've been thinking about for a long time, and I can't figure it out, do you know what I'm talking about?"

"The subordinates know.

"In my impression, you entered the Yongwang Mansion a long time ago, and you were just an ordinary soldier at the beginning. Later, my father found out that you were capable and promoted you little by little. Then you became the Commander of the Household Soldiers. Whenever the Yongwang Mansion is in session, you will also participate. I can't figure out when you decided to betray my father and secretly report to Your Majesty.

"From the beginning, I did.

Li Zhao's face was puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Zhou Wen smiled bitterly: "I was originally His Majesty's person, as early as when you were young, Your Majesty ordered me to sneak into the Yongwang Mansion. Many of the former soldiers in the mansion were secretly sent by His Majesty, and I was the only one who was reused by King Yong.

"So, most of the emperors knew all the plans of me and my father over the years?"

"Yes, when Dashuai and King Yong decided to raise troops, not only Sun Feng told the informant, but there were others, including me.

"I remember, you have advised my father more than once before, not to be in a hurry. Because you already know that once you do it, you will definitely fail.

Li Zhao said again: "There is another thing that I can't figure out. When Dugu Ling was in the mountains, chasing and killing me. You can betray me and expose my position.

Zhou Wen was silent for a long time and said: "I originally thought that the big man said that he wanted to be the king of the mountain, but he was just talking. After all, you have been clothed and fed since you were a child, and after waiting for a long time, you can't stand the poverty on the mountain, so you will naturally take the initiative to give in to Your Majesty.

Li Zhao continued to cook with his head bored, came over for a while, and said, "If I kill you, will you hate me?"

"Dashuai and King Yong, treat me very well, and I have no complaints."

Li Zhao sighed, rubbed his temples, and said, "That's it, you better live well." You go to accompany Liu Xuan, Zichen and them, usually play chess, read books and the like, stay good first. As for what happens in the future, let's talk about it later. There

was no crying, but tears flowed down Zhou Wen's cheeks, and he knelt on his knees and kowtowed.

"Take him down. Li Zhao said to Chen Lu.

"Yes!"

Zhou Wen has made a lot of contributions to the Zhaowu Army, if he is killed now, it may chill some people, and Li Zhao temporarily imprisons him.

Later, a soldier reported that Fan Shuo asked to see him and had been waiting outside the door for a long time.

"Let him in.

"Yes.

After Fan Shuo came in, he saluted and said, "My subordinates see the marshal." "

You're welcome, why did you come to see me?" Li Zhao said curiously.

The subordinates took the liberty to ask if the marshal was still waiting for the results of the battle between the two armies of Wei Qi.

Li Zhao was silent for a while, not thinking about how to answer this question. He really wanted to wait for the Wei and Qi armies to get tired, and the Zhaowu army would go out again and reap the benefits of the fishermen. However, defeating the Wei army twice may cause the Wei army commander to change his strategy.

Fan Shuo continued: "Dashuai can't wait any longer, otherwise he will die without a place to be buried. The war in Hanzhong must end within a month. The Zhaowu army only had a month to capture Hanzhong at most, or even less.

When Li Zhao heard this, he was taken aback, "What do you mean? Why is it only a month?" "

The marshal underestimated the importance that Qi attached to Hanzhong, and also underestimated Emperor Wei's ambition to win Hanzhong. Fan Shuo said in a deep voice.

You continue.

"To the east of Handong is the land of Jingxiang, and to the south is bordered by Shu. In such an important place, how could Qi Guo give up. In the Wei State, although the Wei Emperor Li Kun was old, he was not old-hearted, and he was worried that the Wei State would never have a chance to seize Hanzhong again. Moreover, the Wei army had already captured the three cities of Hanzhong, and in this case, Emperor Wei would not withdraw his troops no matter what.

After a pause, Fan Shuo's expression became more serious, "If the war drags on, Wei Qi and Qi will definitely increase their troops in Hanzhong." No matter how strong the Zhaowu army is, how can it compare with the strength of a country?"
