In the middle of the night, the moon is dark and the wind is high, in the narrow canyon area between the two stone mountains, on the way to South Korea, Zhao Yuan received the news of a rebellion on the cliff of the important town of Weiguo, and the rebels are fierce, defeated and surrendered the general Wan Qijin of the Great Qi State, and within a few days have captured the surrounding three cities, and are heading towards Fuluo City, if Fuluo City is lost, the rebels will soon catch up, so that the Qi army will suffer from the enemy.

Zhao Yuan did not give the order for the army to stop, and there was still a moment to cross the canyon, and according to the plan, the troops would rest on a gentle hillside, and he had to work out a well-thought-out countermeasure before that.

What surprised him was Wan Qianjin's surrender to the enemy, Wan Qianjin is an old minister in the court, who has been on the battlefield for a long time and has always been known for his stability, which is why Zhao Yuanneng sent him to stay and defend the country. And this time he surrendered in one battle, which is really unreasonable.

Zhao Yuan thought about it, Wan Qian's family was originally the first emperor's house slaves, and later became a general because of his fierce style on the battlefield, so Wan Qian's family had a great friendship with the first emperor's clan, and his abnormal behavior was not the instruction of Taifu.

At this point, it is necessary to send a capable general back to defend the country and destroy the rebels. Now there are many generals in the battalion who have rich experience in actual combat, but they have been in the same dynasty as Wan Qijin for many years, and he is afraid that he will find out more about the number of roads, and the chances of winning when sent out are not very great, and the war with South Korea is also close at hand.

Although Korea is not the largest of the three pillar countries in terms of area and the terrain is flat, it is the richest country due to its abundance of silk and iron ore. In order to facilitate the transportation of silk and iron ore, South Korea dug the Zhouyan Canal, which connected Weiguo, Huaiyang Province and some surrounding small countries, and controlled the transportation hub on the Zhouyan Canal.

It can be said that if the Zhouyan Canal in the Korean section is unblocked, the water transportation of the southern countries will be smooth, and if the Zhouyan Canal in the Korean section is interrupted, the water transportation of the southern countries will be paralyzed, so it is necessary to take South Korea and actually control the Zhouyan Canal, which is also indispensable for the right-hand man to be on standby in the battalion. After pondering, Zhao Yuan thought of the two young generals in the battalion who went out with the army for the first time as Wupin generals.

After the troops walked out of the canyon, Zhao Yuan ordered the soldiers to stop in place for a short rest. He also turned over and dismounted, walked to a fast stone high on the hillside and sat down, and ordered someone to call Shen Zhao and Zuo Qingchen to his side.

Shen Zhao and Zuo Qingchen are both at the age of just and weak crowns, Shen Zhao is a child of a family, with a burly figure, a tiger's back and ape arms, and is smart and intelligent. Zuo Qingchen's family was poor, and he enlisted as a soldier because of his martial arts, and was promoted in the army because of his rigor and prudence.

When Zhao Yuan saw them, he briefly talked about the rebellion in Cliff City, and asked which of the two of them would be willing to lead troops to defend the country and quell the rebellion and reinforce Fuluo City.

Neither of them immediately answered but thought for a moment, Zuo Qingchen wanted to ask for his life, but he still couldn't react as quickly as Shen Zhao, before he could speak, Shen Zhao had already taken a step forward and said, "The minister is willing to lead the troops there!" ”

Zhao Yuan looked at the demeanor of the two of them, and already knew it in his heart, so he said to Shen Zhao: "Then ask General Shen to order troops and set off immediately!" Don't forget to get back to the team quickly! ”

Shen Zhao said: "The minister has written it down!" ”

Shen Zhao was ordered to lead troops to Fuluo City overnight for reinforcements. In order to speed up, he did not take the official road, but chose a faster mountain road, and halfway through the march, a scout came to report that an army had been found moving not far away. Shen Zhao immediately asked the troops to stop, hidden, and led people to a high place to observe.

Sure enough, on the plain not far away, there was a team with torches winding forward, and Shen Zhao sent clever spies to quietly stick to it.

After a while, they came back and said that it was the rebels who were defending the country and were marching towards the city of Fuluo. Shen Zhao thought to himself: "This must be because the rebels want to attack Fuluo City, so they rushed overnight. It's too late to inform the defenders of Fura Castle at this time, and it seems that I have to stop the enemy here. ”

Thinking of this, he called a guide and asked him what kind of precipitous place the rebels would have to pass through if they wanted to go to Fuluo City. The guide said that there was a dry mountain stream thirty miles ahead, called Lingworm Ditch, which was about twenty miles long, and there were cliffs on both sides, and the stream was full of rocks.

This stream is in the shape of a double flare, that is, the entrance is wide, the middle is the narrowest, and the exit is gradually wider. When Shen Zhao heard this, he said in his heart: "God help me to make a name for myself tonight!" ”

He summoned several lieutenants to his side, informed them of his plans, and arranged for them to perform their duties.

After everything was arranged, Shen Zhao ordered the soldiers to discard the weight on their bodies, take only their weapons, and move forward quickly, making sure to reach the Spirit Worm Gully before the rebels.

Bao Huai, the rebel general of the Patriotic Army, was marching in the dark with 30,000 soldiers.

Tonight he discussed with the main general Fan Qiuchi, he first went around to Fuluo City and then ambushed, tomorrow morning Fan Qiuchi led his troops to attack from the front, and when the Qi army was concentrated in front, he would suddenly launch an attack and be able to take Fuluo City in one fell swoop.

Along the way, he didn't find anything abnormal, and it went smoothly until he approached the Spirit Worm Gully.

When there were two or three miles away from the Spirit Worm Ditch, some probes said that there were torches and horses' hooves in front of them, and there seemed to be an ambush by the Qi army. Bao Huai was shocked: "Could it be that the defenders of Fuluo City have received the news and are here to intercept me?" But after thinking about it, "No, there are only 20,000 defenders in Fuluo City, and it is still dangerous to defend the city, how dare you attack rashly?" What the hell is going on, you have to get closer? ”

After thinking about it, he ordered a team of elite soldiers, all dressed in night clothes, lowered the speed of the war horse, and quietly approached the Spirit Worm Ditch.

When they were less than a mile away from the Spirit Worm Gully, this group of elite soldiers all dismounted and hid in the dense forest. Bao Huai pushed aside the dense weeds and saw that there were thousands of Qi soldiers resting in place not far ahead, and two generals wearing willow leaves and bright light armor were arguing.

Due to the distance, it was not true to hear, and a few words intermittently reached Bao Huai's ears, and one said: "This road is marked by a map, how can there be a wrong ......?" Another retorted: "The map is dead, and the guide says that the road is going farther and farther, so how can we send grain and grass into the city before dawn?" ”

"It's okay, just listen to me?"

"If I heard you wrong, how can you and I explain to the saint?"

……

When Bao Zhao heard this, he was overjoyed: "This is the army of the Qi army that sent grain and grass, and it took the wrong road in the middle of the night, and it should have entered the main gate of Fuluo City, but now it has gone around here." Before we could conquer Luocheng, we cut off their grain and grass first, which was also the first achievement. ”

He immediately called the deputy general to his side, and ordered him to quickly notify the team behind him to follow, outflank the Qi army that was resting, and it was only a matter of a moment to destroy these thousands of Qi troops with their 30,000 men and horses.
