Chapter 257: Mindfulness [two in one](1/2)

————The following text————

"Today's battle will definitely go down in history!"

When nearly 300,000 Wei troops were returning to Daliang City, the minister of the inner dynasty, Jie Zigui, rode his horse beside the king's chariot and said excitedly.

In fact, not only him, but also all the 300,000 Wei troops were in high spirits and had smiles on their faces.

It's no wonder, after all, they defeated the coalition forces of millions of people - although the victory was indeed a bit inexplicable, it was still a victory.

After hearing what Jie Ziyu said, Wei Wang Zhao Run smiled slightly.

In Zhao Run's opinion, being able to defeat the coalition forces of millions of countries today is really a very lucky thing. If the coalition forces of various countries had not retreated on their own, how could millions of people be defeated by three people in just one hour?

How about defeating a hundred thousand Wei troops? In fact, if they really wanted to fight to the death, the strength of both sides could not be determined even if they fought for a day and a night.

I have to say that Xiang Mo, the general of the Chu State, was right. In today's battle, the allied forces of the various countries were defeated not so much by the 300,000 Wei troops, but by the king of Wei, Zhao Run. Regardless of whether Zhao Run encouraged the soldiers before the battle,

His speech, or Zhao Run's actions of taking the lead in the king's chariot during the pursuit, greatly inspired the 300,000 Wei army, allowing the latter to exert a higher combat effectiveness than usual, so that the allied forces of the other countries were retreating steadily.

But Zhao Run also understood that for the millions of coalition forces, today's defeat was only a small defeat at best. Compared with the casualties of the soldiers, the morale of the soldiers of the coalition had the greatest impact after this battle -

- He estimated that it would take at least a few days for the allied forces of the various countries to restore the morale of their soldiers, and this gave the Wei army sufficient time to build a camp outside Daliang City.

When he thought of the word morale, Wei Wang Zhao Run couldn't help but frown slightly.

Because he clearly felt that something seemed to be wrong with the morale of the coalition forces - in short, the fighting spirit and morale of the coalition soldiers were not very high.

"Could it be..."

Recalling the corpses of allied soldiers he saw everywhere outside Daliang City when he first arrived in Daliang City, Zhao Run's heart seemed to be shrouded in a layer of gloom. Even though he had taken the opportunity to defeat the allied forces of various countries,

But I couldn't be happy either.

The reason is very simple. If the millions of coalition forces from various countries were really frustrated in Daliang City, resulting in low morale and low fighting spirit among their soldiers, then obviously, the war that broke out in Daliang City in the past few days must have been unusually intense.

And this also means that Daliang City must have suffered heavy losses.

Zhao Run's heart sank to the bottom when he thought of this possibility.

As the sun set and the sky gradually dimmed, nearly 300,000 Wei troops returned to Daliang City amid joy and laughter.

In the distance, I heard bursts of cheers from Daliang City. It turned out that the soldiers and civilians in the city had swarmed up the city wall, waiting for the victory of the army.

"Coming!"

"The army led by His Majesty himself has returned victorious!"

"Quickly, dig out the mud and rocks at the city gate and open the city gate to welcome His Majesty."

Above and below the city, the soldiers and civilians of Daliang cheered and couldn't help themselves with excitement.

Who allowed Zhao Run, the monarch of Wei State, to give a blow to the coalition forces of millions of countries and severely defeat the other side on the day they arrived at Daliang with 300,000 reinforcements?

The Wei army of 300,000 people who had traveled a long distance actually defeated more than a million enemy troops who were waiting for work. This is simply unprecedented and has never been seen before. It can be called a miracle that is rare to see in a hundred years.

Finally, the royal chariot of Wei King Zhao Run arrived at the south gate of Daliang City.

At this time, the south gate of Daliang City has been opened. Chu Shuli of the Daliang Mansion is leading the city generals Jin Ju, Zhou Ji, Li Lin, Shangliang Hou Shizi Zhao Shu and others, accompanied by the heads of various families in the city and countless people in the city.

The people were waiting for the king outside the city gate.

"Your Majesty, Chu Shuli, brings the entire army and people of Daliang City to pay homage to Your Majesty."

Chu Shuli, full of excitement, bowed his hands to Wang Jia.

Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, Wei Wang Zhao Run stepped down from the king's chariot, helped Chu Shuli, who was kneeling in front of him, up, and said with inexplicable emotion: "Thank you for your hard work, Daliang."

Chu Shuli was so excited that he was speechless. When he heard the word "hard work" uttered by the monarch in front of him, he suddenly felt that the suffering and sacrifices he had endured in Daliang City these days were all worth it.

.

At this time, Zhao Run had already helped Jin Ju, the presidential leader of the Daliang Guards, and said seriously: "Jin Ju, thank you for your hard work."

Even though it was dark now, Zhao Run could still clearly see Jin Ju's armor covered with weapon scratches, as well as the injuries on his face and arms, even with the help of the torches in the hands of the surrounding Daliang soldiers and civilians.

"His Majesty……"

Jin Ju held Wei Wang Zhao Run's hand tightly, forced his weak body to stand up, exhaled with relief, and said: "Your Majesty, you will fulfill your mission."

"Ugh!"

Zhao Run nodded solemnly and reached out to pat Jin Ju's arm.

Immediately, Zhao Run helped the rest of the people up one after another. After everyone on the left and right was helped up by the former, Chu Shuli, the chief minister of Daliang Mansion, said at the side: "Your Majesty, today you have defeated the coalition forces. I must congratulate you. I have ordered people to prepare in the city.

Drinks…”

Zhao Run nodded and asked: "Is there any food and drink in the city that would allow me to congratulate the soldiers and people of Daliang together?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Li Chang and other heads of several aristocratic families in the city rushing to take over the matter.

Seeing this, Zhao Run waved his hand and said: "Everyone, we will enter the city to celebrate!"

For a time, cheers came and went.

During this period, Zhao Run summoned Wei Jiao, the commander of Luoyang Imperial Guard, and asked the latter to take charge of the Anza camp outside the city. He also ordered rewards for the three armies to celebrate today's victory.

After he arranged for the generals to perform their respective duties, Zhao Run did not return to the king's carriage, but took Chu Shuli, Jin Ju, Zhou Ji and other people into the city together.

At this time, in the city, there were also countless people cheering in the streets, making the crowd loud and clear.

Faced with the welcome from the people in Daliang City, Zhao Run waved in response from time to time.

Suddenly, Zhao Run was slightly startled, because he found that among the welcoming people in the city, most of them were old and weak, women and children, and there were not many young and strong men in sight. His heart suddenly thumped.

In fact, before entering the city, he had made a guess. He felt that Daliang City was still able to defend the city under the fierce attack of millions of coalition forces from various countries. It must have paid a heavy price. But now, the scene he saw with his own eyes confirmed that

made his guess.

But because the time was not right at this moment, he refrained from asking.

However, at this moment, I heard a thud behind me, as if someone fell to the ground.

Zhao Run subconsciously turned around and realized that it was Jin Ju, the president of the Daliang Guards. The latter somehow fell to the ground and stopped moving.

"Jin Ju?"

"General Jin?"

The people around Jin Ju quickly turned Jin Ju over so that he could lie flat on the ground.

"Jin Ju?"

Zhao Run walked over in a few steps and squatted next to Jin Ju. Only then did he notice that Jin Ju's face was pale and he was sweating profusely on his forehead. At first glance, he looked extremely weak.

"Jin Ju? Jin Ju?"

The frightened Zhao Run gently patted Jin Ju's face with his hand, trying to wake the latter up.

After a while, Jin Ju woke up faintly and saw that His Majesty, the monarch of the Wei Kingdom, was supporting him, and was greatly frightened.

"Your Majesty, I...how can I..."

He struggled to stand up, but his body was too weak to move.

There is even another feeling, as if the power in the body is rapidly draining away.

On the side, Zhao Shu, the prince of Shangliang Marquis, was shocked when he saw this. His eyes were slightly red. He walked to Zhao Run and whispered: "Your Majesty, please don't blame General Jin for being rude. General Jin was seriously injured the day before yesterday. Even in the city,

Doctors have diagnosed that General Jin is dying soon...it is...not easy for General Jin to survive until His Majesty arrives."

"..." Zhao Run looked at Jin Ju in surprise and saw that Jin Ju was as angry as a thread.

Obviously, Jin Ju had been holding on for the past two days with just one breath, but now that he saw Zhao Run leading an army of 300,000 to come to the rescue and defeating the coalition forces of various countries outside the city, he felt relaxed and relieved.

Can't hold on any longer.

"Jin Ju..."

Zhao Run held Jin Ju's hand, with a bit of unbearable expression on his face.

You must know that when Zhao Run was still the prince in the palace, Jin Ju was the imperial guard guarding the palace. The two sides had many contacts. Counting the days, it has been more than twenty years ago.

"His Majesty……"

Perhaps realizing that he was about to die soon, Jin Ju smiled bitterly and said with shame: "I thought I could hold on for a while, at least I wouldn't make a fool of myself in front of His Majesty and the people of other countries..." After that, he raised his head.

Looking at Zhao Run, he said apologetically: "Your Majesty, the general may have to be absent from today's celebration feast..."

Hearing this, Zhao Run endured the sadness in his heart and laughed and cursed: "You bastard! How dare you be absent from my banquet?"

After that, he saw that Jin Ju's complexion was getting worse and worse, and the forced smile on his face could no longer hold on. After a moment of silence, he whispered: "I... allow you to be absent."

"Thank you, Your Majesty..."

Jin Ju laughed twice when he heard the words, then looked deeply at Zhao Run, raised his hands with difficulty and clasped his fists, although he was breathless, he still said in a firm tone: "Your Majesty, I would like to wish you... this...

The battle flag is raised to victory, the coalition forces are defeated, and the power of our great Wei..."

"Ugh!"

Zhao Run grabbed Jin Ju's hands with both hands, nodded heavily, and then asked: "Do you have anything... to say to your wife and children?"

Jin Ju shook his head and said with a chuckle: "The general has already... told his family about the matters behind his death yesterday. There is no more... no worries anymore, but... this armor on his body..." He turned his head
