Adviser should be self-improvement

The king of Xiangyang was walking in the direction of the canal.

After traveling for an hour, the army stepped into the mouth of the valley, and the rocks fell from the top of their heads. Many Xiangyang troops hurriedly avoided, but the road was too narrow, and many people were hit by the falling rocks and fell to the ground. Blocked by a boulder, unable to advance or retreat, Sheng Qi saw this, took the opportunity to lead his soldiers shouting and attacked.

A general galloped forward, resisting Sheng Qi, shouting: "My lord, you go first!"

King Xiangyang stopped his horse, tightened his grip on the reins, and stared intently at it.

The other generals anxiously urged: "My lord, let's go, leave the green hills here, and don't worry about running out of firewood!"

"..."

King Xiangyang turned his head, threw off the reins, and shouted, "Go!"

The rest of the people and the king of Xiangyang rode fast and rode for about [-] miles. There were no pursuers behind them, but their tired bodies were exhausted. If there are trees, there should be a source of water, waiting for the subordinates to lead people to search for it, so as to moisten the prince's throat."

King Xiangyang's pupils were a little dizzy, but he seemed to be in good spirits, and no one else noticed. He didn't even look at the bushes, and just said: "Go first."

"Yes."

The crowd slowed down and walked into the bushes. Just halfway through, there was a sudden sound of war drums beside them, and the tongue of fire ignited rapidly along the bushes. Immediately, he jumped up and threw many soldiers to the ground.

The shouts of the soldiers brought the King of Xiangyang back to his senses in an instant. He rode his horse and looked at him. He saw Zeng Ping holding two knives and leading the ambush soldiers into the Xiangyang army, one knife at a time, clearing out a small group of people in the blink of an eye. The Xiangyang army did not fight at all. With strength, he resisted in vain, and fled in embarrassment. A general shouted angrily, and blocked Zeng Ping with his weapon.

This time, King Xiangyang didn't hesitate and led the rest of the people straight away.

The Xiangyang battle flag was broken at the waist, Zeng Ping saw the opportunity and cut the general off his horse, and stood where he was, without going forward to pursue.

Many of the soldiers were injured, and the two generals, including Li Ken, were not spared. The remaining cavalry were only 3000. Li Ken asked, "My lord, there are two roads ahead, where should we go next?"

King Xiangyang lowered his head, seemed to be panting, and opened his eyelids when he heard the words: "Go to Longji Pass."

"My lord." Gongsun Ji felt that something was wrong and asked, "Are you alright?"

King Xiangyang twitched the corner of his mouth, but before he could straighten up, the Xiangyang army marched to the pass and made noise again. King Xiangyang frowned, and his sharp eyes approached the source of the sound. He saw an army lined up on the steep slope in front of him, and Li Yuexiong rode his horse In the front, hold your head high and hold your chest high, with a mighty voice.

"All the troops listen to the order and capture the King of Xiangyang—!"

"Capture Xiangyang King—!"

The two armies mingled together again, King Xiangyang looked at the pass not far away, as if he had expected something, he sneered, he didn't know what he was laughing at, then he sternly stopped the soldiers who were fighting, and led the last half of the soldiers and horses He rushed into the pass and fled into Longji Pass with Li Ken and Gongsun Ji.

"Cough cough cough-"

The severe coughing sound continued slowly, and all the soldiers hesitated to speak. They all remembered how they were scolded by Xie Qiongjiu angrily when someone stepped forward to persuade them just now. They were also extremely uneasy, and they all looked forward to the arrival of King Xiangyang soon.

"People are coming! The Xiangyang Army is here!"

Xie Qiongjiu suddenly let go of his fur coat, straightened up, and stared straight at the scattered Xiangyang army entering the pass. When he saw that the leader was the King of Xiangyang, he couldn't help but tightened his reins, and ordered: "Is the other gate blocked?"

"Responding to the words of Xie Junshi, it is already watertight!"

"Okay! When all the Xiangyang troops have entered Longji Pass, they will block the pass, throw hot oil in, and set fire to the forest."

"Yes!"

The Xiangyang army who had escaped from the dead was like a frightened bird, looking around vigilantly, for fear that another wave of ambushes would come out from nowhere, but what they didn't expect was that not long after they entered Longji Pass, the ambush did not wait, but the king of Xiangyang stopped He got down without giving any instructions, walked towards a tree after dismounting, and slowly sat down on the ground with his hands on the tree, panting.

"My lord?"

If in normal times, the king of Xiangyang wanted to rest like this, Ji Ken would not say anything more, but now is an extraordinary period, and they cannot be allowed to slack off, so they had to get off their horses and stepped forward to persuade: "Chang'an The army is behind us, we are not safe now, if the prince wants to rest, why not..."

King Xiangyang didn't answer, his eyes closed leisurely, and his panting was more rapid than before.

When Gongsun Ji behind him saw this scene, his eyelids twitched, he got off his horse like a fire, and quickly ran in front of King Xiangyang, squatting down, and looked at King Xiangyang, his voice trembling: "My lord!?"

Unexpectedly, Gongsun Ji dared to speak to the King of Xiangyang in such a tone. He was startled, and then he saw the arm of the King of Xiangyang slipping down in front of his abdomen, revealing a large bloody hole.

Li Ken opened his mouth slightly, looking at the extremely weak Xiangyang King, his face was full of disbelief.

Such a big wound has a tendency to dry up now, I don't know how much blood has been shed before!

The bloody smell on the soldiers was so strong that they didn't even notice the strangeness of King Xiangyang.

Hearing Gongsun Ji's broken voice, the King of Xiangyang finally opened one eye, his eyes as deep as an ancient well and without any trace scanned Gongsun Ji and Ji Ken, exhaled slowly, and said, "Gongsun Ji Ji."

"...The minister is here." Slightly hoarse.

"Don't go through another pass. There is a small opening in the south that is blocked by gravel. Except for me and Brother Huang, it has not been discovered by anyone. You can go that way."

"The Yu Huang who controls Xiangyang is on my chest. Xiangyang, this king has arranged five substitutes. Choose one you like and teach him to come forward. You will take the real power on your behalf."

"If you don't want to take care of it anymore, or if you can't keep it, you can give it to Qin Ce."

"Over the years, in the name of this king, the oil and water you fished out are enough for your family to live happily for the rest of your life."

The King of Xiangyang gasped for a few breaths, then suddenly stretched out his hand, and pressed it on the stunned Gongsun Ji's head, and then slid down the opponent's cheek, leaving a series of bloodstains.

The sound of sneering came again, and it was very cheerful.

"That's all..."

"My lord—!"

The Xiangyang army burst out crying, but Gongsun Ji was still in a daze, staring at the lifeless King Xiangyang as if he was completely stupid.

King Xiangyang is dead?

How can it be?

How could it be possible for such an invincible man to die one day?

Died so easily?

The bitter cold wind came up again, bringing a strong smell of gunpowder smoke. Many soldiers were choked and coughed, and Ji Ken, who was in grief, was shocked. Looking around for the fire from nowhere, he quickly woke up Gongsun Ji: "Gongsun Ji Sir, let's go, if we don't go, it will be too late!"

Gongsun Ji was still in a daze, thinking about the days of fighting with the King of Xiangyang in these years, and the scene changed again to the scene of him leading Xiangyang, or spending the rest of his life at leisure.

Idle clouds and wild cranes end this life.

Why do I suddenly feel...

Bored?

Thick smoke filled the air, and Gongsun Ji coughed a few times. He Ken was about to pull Gongsun Ji, when he heard him whisper, "Yuhuang."

Li Ken realized that he immediately went to get the jade huang, and couldn't help shaking when he touched the body of King Xiangyang—this man of Weihe I went there leisurely even at the moment of his death, no one should be ashamed after death He was so helpless that he always had the illusion that the King of Xiangyang would open his eyes in the next moment.

However, King Xiangyang did not open his eyes during the whole process.

He is really dead.

Feeling even more saddened, Qian Ken wiped his face, his eyes were red, and handed the jade Huang to Gongsun Ji, but the hoarse voice said something that shocked him: "Take it."

"Mr. Gongsun?" Li Ken held the jade huang like a hot potato and stammered, "What do you mean?"

Gongsun Ji sighed, knelt down on the ground slowly, facing King Xiangyang, and said, "I can't walk anymore."

Li was anxious: "What, why can't you walk? Isn't there a horse, Mr. Gongsun—"

"I've been walking for most of my life, I'm too tired, I don't want to go."

"Mr. Gongsun!" Finally understanding what Gongsun Ji meant, Li Jian's heart turned cold, and he roared angrily, "The prince handed over Xiangyang to you, how can you be so decadent!?"

"Even if the whole of Xiangyang is gone, he won't care." Gongsun Ji said coldly.

"This..." Zhuo Ken was suddenly speechless, although it was a bit disrespectful, but it seemed that it was true.

The horses began to move around restlessly, and the soldiers screamed again and again, begging to regain their senses, showing their anxiety in words.

"Let me take a break." Gongsun Ji half-closed his eyes, "If you hang around for a while, you really won't be able to leave."

"Mr. Gongsun!"

"Let's go."

Gongsun Ji raised his head, looked at the pale and cloudless sky, and let out a barely audible sigh: "Tomorrow will be another great sunny day."

Seeing that Gongsun Ji was determined to die, Zhuo Ken gritted his teeth and led all the soldiers to rush to the south.

The raging fire swept across the entire Longji Pass in an instant, black smoke billowed as far as the eye could see, and there seemed to be a deep and unrestrained laugh echoing above the sky, and after spreading far away, followed by a helpless sigh.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Xie Qiongjiu, who had been holding on all this time, suddenly loosened his nerves, his body swayed, and he fell off the horse.

The soldiers were frightened and dumbfounded: "Thank you, military division!"

"Poor wine—!"

The sound of horseshoes came, and Chu Huaiqing and others finally arrived in time.
