The news brought back by the fat general Baofu stunned everyone in the room. The generals didn't care about any rules, and surrounded Baofu in a chaotic manner, asking what was going on.

Bao Fu struggled to break through the crowd, squeezed in front of Zhao Liang, and said breathlessly: "General, I went out to give orders just now, and I happened to meet a horse from outside the city. The guy narrowly escaped death, fought for half his life to send the news back to Hokyung, and passed out without saying a few words. ”

"What about people?"

"I ordered him to be carried to heal."

"What did he say? What happened to Tian Xiang and Wei Combai? ”

Bao Fu carefully recalled the report of the flying horse, and said word by word: "In the afternoon today, after General Tian's troops defeated the Shen army, the enemy abandoned his armor and fled quickly. General Tian and General Wei saw that the opportunity could not be missed, so they led their troops in pursuit. I didn't expect this to be a trick of the enemy army. After chasing for less than 20 miles, the two of them fell into an ambush, and the 4,000 soldiers and horses were all wiped out! Wei Kangbai was killed on the spot, and Tian Xiang was also captured by the Shen army. ”

The eleven battalion officers and generals all looked at each other after hearing this, and their faces were as ugly as they were. He left the side and said, "It's still the general who is like a god." Sure enough, the enemy came prepared. ”

Bao Fu also nodded admiringly: "Yes, yes, it's all because we didn't report to the general earlier, which caused a delay in the big event!" ”

Zhao Liang waved his hand, telling the two of them to stop talking, and then said: "How many soldiers and horses are there in the Shen Kingdom, do you understand the investigation?" ”

"Not yet," Bao Fu shook his head and said, "The person who delivered the letter was not lightly injured, and he was completely hanging in one breath before he explained the matter." He only said that there were a lot of people on the other side, and they were all over the mountains and fields, and they couldn't be counted. ”

A general gasped: "It's so exaggerated?!" When did Shen Guo have such strength? ”

Zhao Liang said angrily: "It's good to use your brain!" Shen Guo could raise an army of twenty or thirty thousand by himself, not to mention that they could also find other helpers. Speaking of this, Zhao Liang's heart moved, and suddenly remembered a key question: if the Shen State conquered Haojing this time, and the figure of the Dog Rong army could appear, then he could conclude that this time it was a great battle for the fall of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Because no matter what, it is impossible for Inurong to sneak attack Hokyo twice in a row.

Therefore, as long as he had the opportunity to detect the movements of that alien army in advance, he would be able to deal with it. However, the only problem is that no one else knows about it, otherwise the course of history is very likely to change. There is another thing that is gradually becoming clear in Zhao Liang's heart, that is, the traverser of King Zhou You. It stands to reason that the traverser should also know the approximate time and basic reasons for the fall of the Western Zhou Dynasty, so it is impossible for him not to guard against the huge threat of dog Rong. King Zhou You had previously transferred 20,000 Ying clan border troops from Haojing to the western frontier, probably because of this consideration, but he didn't know that Ying clan patriarch Ying Kai had already been bought by Shenhou.

If Dog Rong really made an abnormal move and had successfully bypassed the defense line of the border army, this situation could not be known to any Western Zhou people, including King Zhou You, otherwise Shenhou's only chance might be lost, and even the traverser himself could not control which direction things would develop next.

Zhao Liang sighed secretly: It's really difficult! I have to arrest the suspect, I have to save my comrades, and I have to be distracted to stabilize the wheel of history, how much salary will I be paid for the anti-crossing bureau? He put away his thoughts, and said to the people, "Since this is the case, it is useless to think about it." From now on, we should seize the time to reorganize our arms and fight, and set out with me the morning after tomorrow. Without the order of the general, no one is allowed to act without authorization, and those who violate the order will be killed! ”

"Whoa—" The twelve generals bowed in unison.

"Brother Xuan, please select twenty masters with strong martial arts and neat hands for me from among the brothers in Demon King Ridge." After the generals left one after another, Zhao Liang immediately instructed him.

Hearing this, he smiled and said, "It's a trivial matter." It's not to brag to Ni Mei, let alone twenty, two hundred masters are no problem. But what are you going to do for them, can you tell me? ”

Zhao Liang said: "Of course, I have to make it clear to you." I plan to have these brothers stationed in the northwest direction of Hokyung to closely monitor the movement there. ”

"I've thought of it a long time ago." Su Li nodded: "Since Shen Zuolan mentioned the matter of the dog Rong at the beginning, then we have to guard against it." I will let the brethren be clever and keep an eye on the main paths. ”

Zhao Liang hesitated for a moment, then said with a twist: "Not only do you have to keep an eye on the northwest artery, but you also have to block the news." Anyone who could give a message to Hojing, whether it was a soldier sent by the king or an ordinary Zhou citizen, must be intercepted. ”

"Huh? This...... Why is that? He was puzzled when he heard it, and he didn't understand what Zhao Liang meant at all.

Faced with a suspicious face, Zhao Liang still said the same sentence: "I have my own plan for everything, and it's not time to say it." ”

At dawn the next day, Su Li took Zhao Liang's arrow and hurried out of the city to find Erya and other brothers. He had to seize the time to make two arrangements, one was to rescue Wang Xiaosi and Zheng Luya, and the other was to block and monitor the enemy situation in the northwest.

Zhao Liang was idle, and wanted to try to contact Director Tu again, but it was inconvenient to talk to himself in the women's toilet in broad daylight. So he decided to take advantage of this time to go to the dungeon to see how the situation was with Xiao Si and them, and by the way, he would ventilate first and let them get ready.

Because Shen Changlie had been "killed" by the general, the Imperial Forest Army, which was originally responsible for guarding him, had already withdrawn, and now it was replaced by a team of soldiers and horses of the Zong Liushi Division, escorting him as the commander's own soldiers. Zhao Liang greeted the captain who led the team, and swaggered straight to the palace dungeon with hundreds of warriors.

It didn't take long for the group to arrive at the door of the cell, and the one standing guard outside the cell at this time happened to be the officer he and Xiao Si had seen the night before. The officer saw a large number of soldiers driving towards this side, he was stunned for a moment, and then saw clearly that the leader was the general Zheng Ni, and hurriedly ran to him, and saluted respectfully: "See the general." ”

Zhao Liang snorted in his nose, and then said, "It turned out to be you, and it was your turn to be on duty today?" ”

"Yes, General, I will stand on the day shift today." The officer replied cautiously.

Zhao Liang looked at the cell door not far away and asked the officer, "Has anyone come to interrogate Xiao Si and that woman in the past two days?" ”

The officer shook his head and replied, "No, no." It was originally announced that the doctor might interrogate them personally. But since yesterday when I found out that there was an enemy in Hokyung, no one mentioned it. ”

Zhao Liang knew it in his heart, and said with a dark smile: It's also a shame that Shenhou came to help in time, otherwise the brother of Demon King Ling would have to act in this scene. As a doctor, Yu Shi's father has the duty of supervising the defense of the pickaxe capital, and of course he has no time to take care of two inconspicuous prisoners when he burns his eyebrows. He smiled slightly and asked, "General Ben was appointed by the king as the commander of the whole army, commanding the Zongliu division to resist the enemy, and all the troops and horses in Hojing are under my command, do you know this matter?" ”

The officer stood up and replied loudly: "General Qiyu, I understand my humble position!" ”

"Okay, you open the cell door now, I'm going to see the prisoner." Zhao Liang ordered, and when he saw that the officer was a little hesitant, he added: "Don't worry, no one can release the prisoner without the king's order." I'm just asking them a few words, it's about the war, and there must be no mistakes. ”

Hearing that the general said that he was not going to release the people, the officer calmed down and quickly ordered his subordinates to open the cell door. Zhao Liang didn't say a word, he walked in, and the officer hurriedly followed her with the captain of the guard and entered the prison.

The semi-underground cell was actually not large, with only a dozen cells inside, separated by earthen walls and wooden pillars. Through the light penetrating through the vents, Zhao Liang could vaguely see that there were three or four unkempt prisoners in each cell. The officers diligently pointed the way and gave a brief account of the identities of the prisoners.

After walking about thirty or forty paces, we reached the middle and rear sections of the dungeon. The officer stopped at the door of a cell, pointed inside, and said, "General, the two you mentioned are being held here." Because of the special circumstances, they are separate rooms. ”

Zhao Liang took a look and made sure that it was Wang Xiaosi and Zheng Luya inside, so he turned his head and ordered: "Okay, open the door lock and you can withdraw." It is a matter of military secrecy and must not be heard by anyone. ”

The officer guarding the prison was very clever, and when he heard this, he replied: "Since this is so important, then the humble duty will immediately transfer all the people in the cell next to him, and ask the general to wait a moment." As he spoke, he gave instructions to his subordinates to emptie out all the cells on the left and near.

After tossing a cup of tea, the matter was finally done, and the captain of the guard team was also quite thoughtful, and ordered the guards of the sect to guard the gate of the dungeon strictly and prohibit anyone from entering, and then dragged the guard officer to leave together.

Zhao Liang made sure that there was no other interference, pushed the door into the cell, and said to the two inside: "I'm sorry, brother, I'm late." ”

Wang Xiaosi had long known that Zhao Liang was busy outside, and hummed at this time: "I'll go, I can be regarded as looking forward to you." Xiaoya and I were almost ready to break out of prison. ”

Zheng Luya asked with concern, "Xiao Zhao, how did you get in?" Nothing is wrong, right? ”

"No problem, it's all right." Zhao Liang sat down cross-legged, and then immediately changed his words: "No, the situation outside is actually not very good." As he spoke, he hurriedly told the two of them everything that had happened outside.

After listening to Zhao Liang's narration, Zheng Luya frowned and said: "Your concerns are not wrong, the major changes in the historical node are very likely to be caused by the traverser and us." Now it's a problem. ”

Zhao Liang first sighed helplessly, and then asked, "Why don't we ask the director?" See what he has to say? ”

"We just contacted Lao Tu." Wang Xiaosi replied: "My dialer is broken, and Xiaoya's one is also intermittent." The slaughter department didn't have much to do about our side of things, just urging us to act quickly. ”

Zhao Liang had already guessed that this was the case, and he was not too disappointed. Originally, this spanned more than 2,000 years of time and space, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as beyond the reach of the whip. Even if Director Tu Sihai has any tricks, it is equivalent to blindly commanding with his eyes closed. Rather than this, it is better to leave it to the three of them to deal with the situation. Zhao Liang straightened out his thoughts and told Wang Xiaosi and Zheng Luya about his current powerful conditions and the next action plan. After hearing this, Wang Xiaosi first agreed, being able to hold the military power of Hojing in his hands is actually equivalent to holding half of King Zhou You's life, as long as he and Xiaoya are rescued by the Emperor, the possibility of capturing the traverser is very high.

Zheng Luya was a little worried: "Xiao Zhao, if you are sent to the battlefield, let's not talk about the result, how should you participate in the arrest operation alone?" ”

"Don't worry about this," Zhao Liang said confidently: "I thought about it before, and when the time comes, I will give him a plan to get out of the shell of the golden cicada." ”

"Oh? Will the plan be settled? Wang Xiaosi shook his head and dragged the text.

Zhao Liang was about to explain to the two of them carefully, when his face suddenly changed greatly, and he was stunned on the spot.
