Chapter 521 escape from birth

On the third day after entering Pingcheng, Tuoba Si ascended the throne, pardoned the world, changed the reign of Yongxing, posthumously honored his mother, Guiren Liu, as Empress Xuanmu, and posthumously named Tuoba Gui as Emperor Xuanwu, with the temple name Liezu.

Zhang Jian and other personal guards protected the Cui family and ran for two days and nights. They were already exhausted, but they also ran for more than 300 miles. In fact, if it weren't for the female family, it would be no problem to run for five or six hundred miles. But these women could not ride horses and could only ride on cars. The bumps in the vehicle were bigger than those of the horses. Fortunately, they put a thick mattress on the car in advance, otherwise, someone might have been beaten to death!

Cui Hao looked at the convoy. In the middle of the car, his wife Guo, who was pale and as if she was seriously ill, was holding his son tightly. The car behind was his mother, Lu. Although he was held in his arms by two maids, most of the bumps were offset. However, his age in his forties was placed there, and later his younger sister Cui Ying. This year, he was thirteen years old and well-educated. This is to be prepared to marry Wei Feng. Xie, Chu, and Wang from Taiyuan all had daughters married Wei Feng. If Cui wanted to quickly gain Wei Feng's trust, in their opinion, it was the most convenient way to marry a daughter and become his family. But they would not just stuff their daughters directly, which was too despicable, but would create opportunities.

Cui Hao sighed and looked back. His heart hurt very much, but he knew that he could never stop. Don’t look at the two days of not seeing the pursuers, but the more he did this, the more uneasy he became!

However, his wife, mother and sister were obviously unable to hold on. Cui Hao was full of confusion and wanted to ask Zhang Jian to rest for a while. But he was worried about delaying the time, which made him look at Zhang Jian involuntarily. As soon as Zhang Jian reported all over, he turned his head to look at him solemnly!

Cui Hao then noticed that there was a faint sound of horse hooves behind him, and he quickly looked back and saw about 300 riders paved into a fan shape and followed him from far to near.

The pursuers were all wearing bright light armor and holding a large bow. Cui Hao's face suddenly changed drastically. This was the Wei imperial guard!

"Is Shangshu Cui in front of you? Your Majesty has an edict to summon you to the palace to discuss matters!"

"Shangshu Cui. Your Majesty no longer cares about you for a moment. In addition, you are the Lord of the Heavenly Tribe and become a Duke, so don't let Your Majesty down. You have lost your reputation for being a lifetime in your old age!"

With the wind and shouting, it immediately caused a commotion in the convoy. Some women were frightened and screamed, as if a tragic fate was waiting for them.

Sure enough, someone shouted later: "Shangshu Cui, this is your last chance. Your Majesty once said, if you are obsessed with it, Ding Nan abandons the market and the female family settles as slaves, I will advise you not to make mistakes again and again!"

Cui Hong and Cui Hao's faces were extremely ugly, and they were frightened without any concealment. Although they had been prepared to catch up with the pursuers, the imperial guards came and they immediately felt a little disappointed. As for going back to admit their mistakes to Tuoba Si, it was impossible!

Cui Hongli served in the Former Qin Dynasty, Zhai Wei, Yan State and Wei State. If he voted for Wei Feng again, he would be the tumbler of the five dynasties and evergreen in the political arena!

Although such a person is extremely smooth, his mind is also very delicate. Cui Hong thought it through in an instant. First, even if Tuoba Si was awarded a high-ranking official and generous title for the stable situation or the reason for winning people's hearts, there was a grudge between the monarch and the ministers, and sooner or later there was no good fruit. Moreover, not only was he unlucky, but he would also harm his descendants. Second, no matter how hard Tuoba Si was tormenting, he was powerless to turn things around. He would re-submit the Tuoba family and be captured alive by Wei Feng in the future. Even if he had ten faces, he would have no shame to live in the world!

Cui Hong simply made up his mind and gritted his teeth and said, "General Zhang, all Master Wei wants is me. Please ask General Zhang and his subordinates to protect Bo Yan and his wife to take the lead. I am waiting here to delay as much as possible. At worst, I don't want this life!"

At this moment, Cui Hong really had ambition to die. People like him have a family greater than the country and life. He would rather have his own life in exchange for Cui Hao's success.

Cui Hao felt anxious and shouted: "Father, go quickly and stay!"

Zhang Jian waved his hand: "Shu Cui doesn't need to worry, there are only three hundred people. Finally, there are thirty people with the brothers to stop him. Please drive away first, and we will chase you later!"

As he said that, without waiting for Cui Hong to say anything, he waved his hand and led his personal guard to disperse.

Now that things have come to this point, Cui Hong understood that keeping it here would be a hindrance, so he called him to join the convoy and galloped away!

But he still looked back frequently with concern. As soon as his guards lifted out the crossbow machine and raised his hand to shoot. Each of the thirty people shot an arrow, and half of the pursuers fell off their horses and fell down!

This made Cui Hong's eyes almost pop out. You know, but a distance of about two hundred steps, he could hit two shots and one shot. Such accurate archery skills greatly increased his confidence. In fact, this was because Zhang Jian and others were not trained enough. If it were the personal guards who had been with Wei Feng for several years, he would not dare to say that he would hit ten shots and ten shots, at least there would be no problem with eight shots and eight shots!

But even so, after several months of hell-style training, Zhang Jian and others were more than one better than ordinary elite cavalry. Cavalry archery relied on the number of arrows, killing enemies or horses with dense arrows. When it comes to single arrows, there is no need to aim at the head. Moreover, with the appearance of the divine arm crossbow, Wei Feng had given up the requirement for turning back and shooting in the cavalry, mainly because it was delayed for too long.

Before the raid of Murong Xi, there were almost no bows in his army and he could not train at all. Later, although he captured the bows, the cost and cycle of training crossbow cavalry were significantly shortened, so Wei Feng only trained in the personal guards to return and shoot!

The training standard is that you must be able to drive a three-stone strong bow and return a target a hundred steps away while galloping. The 10-8 arrows are considered to be a pass. At present, 30 people including Zhang Xian cannot reach the level of 10 arrows, which is barely at the level of 5 arrows.

Two rounds of crossbow arrows were shot out in succession, and nearly thirty people in the Wei army fell off their horses, but the distance was close to a hundred steps at this time. If you attack with crossbow arrows, the opponent will get the opportunity to shoot arrows. So the guards put away the divine arm crossbow and took out the bow and arrow.

As they chased and fled, sparse arrows shot backwards. Because the correct head during movement was difficult to grasp, they mainly shot horses. Scattered horses neighed, and one war horse was shot and fell to the ground and rushed forward. The knights on the horse were also knocked to death. Some of them broke their hands and feet and kept wailing. Occasionally, some people were caught in arrows and fell off their horses.

Thirty people resisted the pursuit of hundreds of people, the arrows were relatively scattered, and the casualties in a short period of time were not conspicuous.

The personal guards did not shoot casually. They had to protect the convoy and could not drive too fast, so they only picked up the Wei people in front of the sudden shooting arrows.

"Damn it, don't run if you have any other habits. Stop and fight with me. What kind of bird egg is just a bird egg?" The Wei people were anxious and angry, and they cursed. There was no way. The personal guards firmly controlled the distance between the two sides. Their arrows could not shoot that far!

Although the imperial guards are elite, they are limited to charge and limited formations. The training of personal guards not only costs human life, but also Wei Feng's training subjects are slightly changed from the training of special forces in his previous life. There is a huge difference between this. It can be said that small-scale combat is the stage for personal guards to display their specialties!

Under the pursuit of the deaths of the arrows, dozens of cavalry were killed and killed, which made the Wei people secretly shocked, but the pride of being an imperial guard did not allow them to retreat. At this moment, a black line suddenly appeared on the horizon in front of them, and was approaching quickly!

An imperial guard suddenly exclaimed: "No, there are cavalry in front of him, so it must be the Jin people coming to pick up the thief!"

Judging from the scale of the cavalry coming towards him, there were about 20,000 to 30,000 people, which made the Cui family and his son breathe a sigh of relief, and a trace of joy of living in despair arise. At the same time, a sense of pride in their hearts was the royal army of the Central Plains. After many years, they finally saw the royal army!

Although the Cui family in Qinghe served in the Di, Dingling, Xianbei Murong tribes and Tuoba tribes, their blood vessels were always flowing in the Chinese bloodline. In order to maintain the purity of their bloodline, they insisted on not intermarrying with the powerful and nobles of all races. Their intermarriage partners were limited to Hebei and Youyan tribes.

However, the Wei people were ashamed for a moment, and another person shouted anxiously: "The Jin people responded with so many soldiers and horses, and I am afraid they are determined to be in Pingcheng. Let's return quickly and report to Your Majesty!"

"Retreat quickly, retreat quickly!" The imperial guards turned their horses one after another and galloped towards the distance.

The personal guards did not pursue him, and slowed down their horses to meet their cavalry. This time, Jiang Xuan led the army and rushed out of the cavalry and bowed: "Thank you, General Zhang and all brothers, there are no Wei people on the way. You can rest for a while and return with confidence."

Zhang Jian also bowed: "The brothers and horses, and the people of the Cui family couldn't stand it anymore, and General Jiang came to help in time, but why did he lead so many military horses? Could it be that he was going to attack Pingcheng?"

Jiang Xuan smiled and said, "The sudden turmoil in Pingcheng is a god-given opportunity to annihilate the Tuoba clan. The general sent me to try my luck. If possible, take advantage of the chaos to seize the city. If there is no chance, I will temporarily station myself and wait for the general to lead the main force to come!"

Zhang Jian reminded: "Tuoba Si is quite popular. I am afraid that Pingcheng has been firmly controlled by him at this time, and General Jiang is worried!"

Jiang Xuan nodded and said, "I will naturally pay attention. General Zhang please come back. General is waiting for you in Ji." As he said that, he pulled his horse back to the cavalry team.

Zhang Jian also let out a sigh and led his guards to slowly towards the convoy. The convoy had already stopped. Everyone got out of the car, mainly women, almost all of them had pale faces, and they supported each other, and some even couldn't stand firmly!

Eating and living in the car for two days and two nights in a row made them fear the vehicle. If they could only walk back to thistle, they would be willing.

The Cui family and his son also lost their manners. They no longer sat upright, but leaned against the carriage and made a toss on the ground. Cui Hong waved and said, "Come on, General Zhang, sit down and rest for a while. Let's have something to eat first. If reinforcements had not arrived in time, my old bones would be dispersed!"

Zhang Jian was stunned. Cui Hong was surprised to sit on the ground regardless of his identity, but he never thought that this old guy would even speak rudely.

Cui Hao smiled awkwardly and said, "My father is exhausted, haha~~~Don't talk about General Zhang, Hao was also very surprised. General Zhang was about to laugh!"
