1142 Ambitious, how can I tolerate you?
The Wei Dynasty cavalry galloped from the north swept quickly like a wolf or a tiger. The craze finally crashed into the cavalry where Xu Zhigao was. The tragic howling instantly soared into the sky, and then a group of people were overturned.
Wang Yu, who was an officer in the Wu Kingdom's Jinwu Guard, also tended to support Xu Zhigao, was the first to be the brunt. Seeing the Wei cavalry pounced over, he was only more than ten steps away from his side... He cursed in anger, and could only bite the bullet and greet him!
Although he pushed his spear straight, a Wei army knight's chest was pierced through and fell from the horse's back immediately. However, the spear in Wang Yu's hand was stuck in the chest of the knight and was also taken down. Wang Yu hurriedly wanted to pull out the sword on his waist, but a large cavalry immediately arrived, and several sabers slashed in the momentum. Blood suddenly soared into the sky. Wang Yu died on the spot. A large number of personal soldiers around him fell off his horse and became a corpse lying in the countryside.
Rong Wei's own personal soldiers had also been intercepted and killed by several Wei soldiers. Xu Zhigao was still urging his horse to fight. Suddenly, he heard a shrill roar of arrows coming. Shen Jiangao, the confidant who was following him, exclaimed, "Master! Be careful!" and immediately urged the horse to block it. Several sharp arrow clusters also pierced through his body. Shen Jiangao's mouth was bleeding and fell from the bumpy horse's back.
Shen Jiangao was born as a music craftsman, and as Xu Zhigao's confidant, according to the official history, after his master usurped Wu and became emperor, he was afraid that Zhou Ben was loyal to the Yang family and had a high prestige in the army, so he intended to use poisonous wine to kill his life. However, Zhou Ben realized that Xu Zhigao, who had changed his name to Li Bing at that time, so he simply used the imperial cup to divide half of the wine, and signaled the other party to drink it together. Xu Zhigao immediately changed his expression and didn't know what to do for a moment. Shen Jiangao drank the poisonous wine in his place on behalf of Xu Zhigao, and then left in his arms. Until Xu Zhigao sent someone to rescue him with antidote, he was already poisonous and died.
Therefore, Shen Jiangao was loyal to Xu Zhigao. Now that he had changed his way of death, he still wanted to use his life to protect his master from disasters and avoid disasters... However, Xu Zhigao didn't care about seeing his close minister who died for him, and was still lying on the horse's back and raising the horse speed as high as possible. However, he heard the wind whistling through his ears. In a blink of an eye, the bodies of Shen Jiangao and others were also left behind by him...
The Wei army continued to chase and collided head-on, and in an instant, brilliant blood flowers burst out, with tragic wails, and the sadness of the war horses resounded through the sky, and the blood and blood were in chaos in the melee. The personal soldiers who broke through the Rong Wei Xu Zhigao were intercepted one after another, and only a small group of soldiers and horses broke out into a bloody road before the enemy gathered together. Most of the other cavalry were entangled and crowded together. In a long time, they would eventually end up being completely annihilated.
The knights gathered around Xu Zhigao fell off their horses. Although some of them tried to pluck the last bloody courage, they were still no match for the Wei army's fierce and fierce cavalry... After all, Xu Zhigao gathered these two or three thousand war horses for searching the family, but his personal training time was limited. He really had to compete for long-distance raids, controlling horses, and fighting with cavalry... It was really difficult to compete with the Wei Dynasty cavalry that often fought large-scale cavalry with the Later Tang Dynasty.
In addition, the army was afraid and the morale was poor, so once they met the Wei army's pursuers and cavalry, most of Xu Zhigao's personal soldiers were killed and injured in a blink of an eye... And now there are only six or seven hundred soldiers who are still following Xu Zhigao's escape...
Even if the gasping sound of the war horse under his crotch became more and more intense, he had already sweated like rain and foamed at the mouth, he might fall down at any time because he could not support him... However, the cavalry of Wei Dynasty, who was so powerful that he kept biting behind him and chased him reluctantly. Xu Zhigao could only urge his mount to overdraw his strength and continue running wildly.
He was already running out of dizziness. Xu Zhigao probably had run away for most of the day... When he and his remaining soldiers walked to a place where hills and wilderness intersected, he suddenly heard the sound of drums shaking from the distance. Xu Zhigao was shocked and looked up and saw countless soldiers and horses gushing out from the south end of the horizon like a cover of the sky and the sun.
Armored soldiers were lined up in an array like a wall, and in the front row of a large number of infantry soldiers on the horizon, there were even sharp-armored soldiers urging their horses to advance, and immediately launched a rushing charge towards this side.
Since he ran out of Xuancheng, Xu Zhigao, who had been desperately driving the war horses to gallop along the way, gasped. At this time, his face turned pale and he suddenly strangled the reins. The ruthlessness between his eyebrows that he wanted to break out was gone, and instead he was full of despair...
Because Xu Zhigao vaguely saw that there were suddenly a military trip from afar, and the flag of An Renyi was suddenly slapped!
Tanika
The scattered personal soldiers stopped one after another, and all the soldiers were panting, feeling the powerlessness and despair that they had nowhere to escape... After all, the shouts of the Wei Dynasty's army came from all directions, and the rumbling sounds of the ground with heavy iron hooves seemed to hit the hearts of the crowd...
Even if their master Xu Zhigao did not give up easily until the last moment, but now that last moment seems to have arrived... With another Wei Dynasty army suddenly coming out, he is now completely in a desperate situation, and there will definitely be no hope of breaking out!
Xu Zhigao, who was in a daze, was stunned for a moment, but suddenly gritted his teeth and thought that if there was a choice, I would certainly not be a prisoner of the Wei Dynasty, but now I have no choice... Even if I am servile to the Emperor Li Tianqu of Wei, as long as I can be a surrender minister and endure humiliation, I can still look forward to the opportunity to make a comeback!
After all, Xu Zhigao was born in a humble family. His parents passed away one after another when they were six years old. He has been wandering everywhere since childhood and has suffered so much that he has endured it until today. He has been working hard until now, and has long forgotten his real name Li Pengnu... He was able to fly up to the branch and turn into a phoenix, and he could not give up his status and power he once had.
Later, although Xu Zhigao was fortunate to be adopted by the Wu leader Yang Xingmi, he had to praise him as "Zhigao is not as good as the generals." However, because he could not be tolerated by Yang Xingmi's biological son, he then turned around and became the adoptive father of Xu Wen, and he still received the ridicule of Xu Zhixun, Xu Zhixun and other second-generation ancestors. Therefore, Xu Zhigao has been tempered since childhood and knows that he must tolerate when he should tolerate it, but he will never tolerate it all the time...
Although he is very similar to his adoptive father, Xu Wen, who is nearly 60 years old, has lived for most of his life in a desperate situation and will choose to burn himself to death... But Xu Zhigao resentful thought that he was only in his early thirties and was at a great age to strive for great things, so how could he be willing to sacrifice his life?
As long as I can sleep on firewood and taste gall, even if I am a cow or a horse, or a slave... At that time, I have suffered all the sluts of the Yang family and the Xu family's sons who are noble of their fathers, I have been holding back all the time, and I have tried my best to win the adoptive father's importance. As long as I can win the trust of Emperor Wei... Xu Zhigao thought about it, suddenly another rein, rode a horse out of several steps, and shouted with a neighing voice:
"I will not escape again, beg for my life not to hurt my life! Now I am really begging to the power of the Supreme Kingdom... I am Xu Zhigao, after all, the chief of the Wu court and help the Celestial Kings to appease the subjects of the Wu Kingdom, are of great use..."
While Xu Zhigao was shouting loudly, he was about to get off the horse and lay down on the ground and let him deal with it... And An Renyi, who rushed to the front of the Wei cavalry and personally led his troops to cover up the murder, heard the military academy's prophecy that Xu Zhigao shouted loudly in the distance, but he snorted coldly and said in a deep voice:
"If you can't win, you have to defend it. If you can't hold it, you have to escape. If you can't escape, you have to surrender and beg for life... Where is the world so beautiful?"
An Renyi said, and recalled another instruction conveyed to him by his lord Li Tianqu during the southern expedition under the order:
Xu Wen and Xu Zhigao's adopted father and son, when they were in desperate situations, whether they surrender or resist, of course, it would be better if they committed suicide... But if they were captured and killed, it would inevitably make the world think that our army was in vain to surrender, and they would be criticized by the world. Therefore, they would be able to get rid of their lives on the battlefield as much as possible.
In short, these two people don’t have to be captured alive or put to death, nor do they have to be escorted to see me...
