I’m The King

"Another place?" Wang Jian looked at his father in confusion, "Where can we go?"

Wang Xiao's fingers slowly slid on the map, slid across the green eyes, and slowly entered a piece of khaki, and then continued to move forward, but the place where his finger pointed was blank, there, They are all places that the people of the Central Plains have never been to.

"Father!" Wang Jian suddenly raised his head and looked at Wang Xiao with shocked eyes.

Wang Xiao stood up, walked around the room a few times with his hands on his back, turned around and looked at Wang Jian, "Son, we are now desperate. We have already lost this war, not only now. I'm afraid I will lose the future. Don't say I can't go back, even if I can go back, I can't go back!"

"Why?" Wang Jian asked in surprise.

"Son, this time the war has failed. Someone needs to be held responsible. Li Xin is dead. Who is more suitable than me?" Wang Xiao sighed, "Furthermore, regarding the failure of this war, I It is indeed an unshirkable responsibility. If I can capture Shannan County City on time, I will not let He Lanxiong run away, and there will be no final embarrassment. If I win this time, then everyone will naturally be happy, and the king will pretend to be I don’t remember this, but now I’ve failed, and even General Li is gone. Do you think that even if we return to Xianyang, the king will let me go? No, it’s not just me, it’s our family. So, Even if we can go back, we will never go back."

"Then, what about our family in Xianyang?" Large drops of sweat leaked from Wang Xiao's forehead.

A look of regret appeared on Wang Xiao's face, "I don't care about them, as long as I'm still here, our Wang family will still be there."

"Father!" Wang Jian looked at Wang Xiao in disbelief.

"From tomorrow, the sweeping teams will continue to be sent out, but they will only go out, and will not come back. They will all gather in Laduri. You will also rush there and take them across the desert. Go north and go to another place where you can settle down." Wang Xiao said.

"Father, what about you?" Wang Jian looked at his father and keenly grasped the loophole in his father's words.

"We are two fathers and sons. One of us must stay and attract the attention of the Han army!" Wang Xiao laughed. "Now our opposite, Zhou Yuan, Tian Dan, Kumamoto, that one is not an old fox, and wants to hide it from them. How can it be so easy to slip away under their noses calmly?"

"Then I will stay to attract their attention. Father, you take the troops and go first, and I will catch up with you and look for you!" Wang Jian said loudly.

Wang Xiao laughed and stretched out his hand to pat his son on the shoulder. "Son, do you think it's easy to take someone across the desert? That's a lifetime of nine deaths. Let's not say that we don't know anything about the desert. In the desert, the enemy may also be extremely terrifying. Your father and I are old, lack of energy, and my bones are not as good as before. There is still such an arduous journey."

"The enemy on the other side of the desert?"

"Yes, this time we marched, the first thing we faced was the harsh environment of the desert. Our ignorance of it is our biggest weakness. If we are lucky enough to cross the desert, then there will be enemies, son, remember. Ten years ago, did we defeat the Huns?"

"of course I remember."

"The Huns were defeated back then, and many tribes were desperate. Many of the Huns entered the desert and marched towards the far north. If they hadn't died in the desert, in ten years, they might be afraid. It has already taken root and sprouted, and branches and leaves are blooming. You are afraid that you will face the Huns again. Father is too old and can't go so far, and doesn't want to be buried in a foreign land. You young people are energetic and you can just go out. If you make a break, it may be another world."

"Father, you..." Hearing his father's words with obvious death ambition, Wang Jian's face was extremely ugly.

Wang Xiao smiled and patted his son on the shoulder, "No one has died in life since ancient times, your father, I am old, and I have no face to live, Qin, the king treats me not badly, I have nothing to return, I can only In return for death, you take thirty thousand elites and all the food and grass in the army, and all the mules and horses. I will take the remaining people with the idea of ​​attracting the Han army. As long as you step into the desert smoothly, you will be behind. It's safe. The Han army will not risk unknown dangers to enter the desert. All you need to deal with is the desert environment and the unknown enemy at the end of the desert."

Wang Jian hugged his head in his hands and sobbed in pain.

At the head of Dayan City, a small table is placed on the tower, on which is placed a few exquisite side dishes and a pot of wine, but the two of them are Zhou Yuan and Tian Dan. It is the dignified general Kumamoto who pours the wine on one side. Indeed, In front of these two people, Kumamoto can only serve as a waiter.

"It's a pity that there are no silverback fish in Dayan Lake. I haven't been fishing for many days." Zhou Yuan regretfully picked up a small fish. "It is raised in a pond in this city. The taste is really bad."

Tian Dan laughed, "Zhou Yuan, you are a martial artist, and now you are still hypocritical. When you fight, you can eat some of it well. Are you still picking and choosing?"

"Now I don't fight anymore, I'm raising my body, I'm moving, and I'm getting older, and I'm naturally not tired of eating, not tired of eating, and living for a few more years!" Zhou Yuan laughed.

"Don't worry, Taiwei, it seems that in a few days, you can go fishing in Dayan Lake again. Qin people won't be able to jump for a few days!" Kumamoto on one side smiled and filled the empty glasses for the two of them. Tao.

"Hahaha, I'm afraid that Qin Ren left, he didn't have to catch it!" Tian Danton smiled: "Qin Ren doesn't have much food and grass. Maybe he is casting a big net to fish at the moment. It would be nice to leave a few shrimps by then. ."

Kumamoto straightened up and stared at the somewhat vague Qin Army barracks in the distance, frowning and said: "Fighting and not fighting, retreating and not retreating, what idea does Wang Xiao make? Just consume us like this? Wang Xiao should be clear. When Zhou Lao Ling and they arrive, his end is about to come!"

"It's not that he doesn't want to retreat, but he can't retreat!" Zhou Yuan snorted: "As soon as Li Xin loses, his retreat is cut off, and he retreats, just hitting Zhou Laoxing's knife, in the prairie. , Wang Xiao's 50,000 army against 20,000 cavalry, where is the chance of winning? He Lanxiong suffered a big loss from Li Xin, and Zhou Lao would still be deceived like that? Don't look at this guy who is not humming, it is dark in the war!"

"Does Wang Xiao have other ideas here?" Kumamoto thought for a while, "Will he go to Pioneer City and Tongwan City? The big camp outside is just an empty camp?"

"Impossible." Zhou Yuan shook his head and said: "How far is Tongwan City from here to Pioneer City? And if we go, then we are sure to take the two cities? There are indeed not many remaining troops in these two cities. , But don’t forget that these two cities are pure military villages. His purpose of existence is for war. Although it is small, the difficulty of fighting is no less than attacking Dayan City. What if they take down these two cities? Do they have that time to go to the three counties of Liaodong? Guo Laolin is coming soon. He can run on two legs over four legs?"

"Then what does he want to do?" Kumamoto shook his head incomprehensibly.

Tian Dan smiled and said: "I can't guess what he wants to do, but as long as he moves, it will reveal the clues. With clues, we can find out the problem and discover his purpose. You must know, Wang Xiao Although he has suffered many defeats in recent years, he is still a very capable general. He will never sit back and wait!"

"That's right, Kumamoto, send more scouts to investigate Wang Xiao's movements." Zhou Yuan said with a smile: "The scenery in this city is good, come, brother Tian, ​​let's have another drink, your son will take the family together soon. I came here to reunite with you too, and the family reunion, this is a gratifying thing."

"At our position, it is a great feat to be able to spend your old age after failure. I am convinced to lose to Gao Yuan!" Tian Dan raised his glass, clinked with Zhou Yuan, and drank it in one fell swoop. , Put down the wine glass and turned to look at Qi Guo's direction." Brother Zhou, when I say it, I really miss my grandchildren a little bit. I think that back then, I was busy with national affairs and rarely got along with them, a few grandchildren and granddaughters. I'm so scared to see me, I'm not ashamed, now I can't remember their appearance."

"In the future, there will be opportunities to get along! Make up for your regrets as a grandfather!" Zhou Yuan laughed.

Outside the city, beside Dayan Lake, Wang Jian knelt on one knee, "Father, I'm leaving."

"Go, go, I'm in Laduri, waiting for the troops to gather there one by one, wait until the assembly is complete, don't stop for a moment, start immediately, I will launch an attack on Dayan City to attract their attention. Power allows you to go further and further. Remember, as long as you step into the desert, you will be safe, and the Han army will not chase you again."

"Yes, father!" Wang Jian knelt on the ground and didn't get up, with his face up, tears streaming down his face.

"Let's go, let's go, this time, you and my father and son will never meet again. Remember, after standing there, we will marry more wives and have more sons, and let my Wang family open up branches and leaves again!" Wang Xiao Smiling and bending over to pick up Wang Jian.

"Father, when I stand on my heels over there and run a world, I will definitely bring the troops back." Wang Jian clenched his fists tightly and said loudly.

"No, never come back again." Wang Xiao shook his head and said: "Don't have such unrealistic expectations, because when that time comes, you will find that you are facing an invincible behemoth. Remember. If you go, you will never come back. On the other side, let my Wang family open the branches and leaves again."

"My son remembered!" Wang Jianqiang held back his tears, turned and strode away.

Listening to the sound of the dense horseshoes fading away, Wang Xiao couldn't help crying, and took a few steps to chase it out, but finally stopped again.

In Dayan City, Kumamoto brought a large stack of military newspapers to the temporary residence of Tian Dan and Zhou Yuan. "Two elders, there are weird!" Kumamoto exclaimed. (To be continued...)
