On the blood-stained spoon pass city, when Zhao Yong stood in front of the wooden board standing there when Wu Sheng left, and looked at the oath written on it with dripping blood: "If you face Yan, I will return Yan", Zhao Yong smiled. Learning from the habit of teacher Zhao Xing, he touched his nose and pinched his beardless chin to look at it.

The ancients loved to keep a beard, Zhao Xing did not stay, saying that it was old, and also invented a razor for this purpose, and there was a saying when selling: "Make shaving fun." ”

Up and down, to be precise, there are students who have teachers, so Zhao Yong doesn't have a beard, because he wants to pretend to be tender in front of the concubine named Wu Wa who he just received.

Looking at the army of Zhao Guo rolling east in the city gate cave under his feet, Zhao Yong pinched his chin and said lightly: "General Wu Sheng, you think too much, I have discussed with my teacher, it is not in our interests to destroy Yan now, we are just weakening you, not destroying you." ”

Wei Yong said with a smile: "My lord said that destroying a country now, especially this kind of old empire, is simply endless trouble for us, and it will make our Zhao State the target of everyone." As long as we weaken them and tell the careerists that Yan Guo is actually a fat sheep, then the wolves that pounce and bite will swarm in groups. Why should we risk the condemnation of the world and be taken seriously and vigilantly when we are not ready to unify the world. ”

Glancing at Zhao Xing's retainer, Zhao Yong had to say with envy and hatred: "I really envy my teacher, my subordinates are all ministers like you." According to your ability, you can completely match our Zhao State's military department book. ”

Wei Yong smiled indifferently: "The king has said it, I am under Xingjun, and I am a capable person who can match the secretary of the national military department, but I am in the court of the monarch, and I can't even be a good official." This is what Yanzi said: orange is born in Huainan is orange, born in Huaibei is orange, and the leaves are similar, but the taste is different. So what? The water and soil are also different. ”

Then regardless of Zhao Yong, who was choked and rolled his eyes, he gave a salute so indifferently: "I wish you great success, and the ministers will be sent here." Then he went straight down to the city with his big sleeves fluttering.

This is the spirit of the scholars of this era, the real wind and bones; is also because of the rules of this era, the rules that are followed by everyone up and down, and there is no fear - I don't belong to you, choke you, don't look at your face.

This is Zhao Xing's inheritance, upward and downward effect, which is very Zhao Xing's habit.

Zhao Yong, who rolled his eyes, stood at the head of the city, looking at Wei Yong who was floating away, and finally could only stomp his feet - Wei Yong, that's right.

Zhao Yong was choked by Wei Yong and rolled his eyes, but he had to admit that Wei Yong was right, and this was the case.

Although after Zhao Xing's official reform last time, a large number of scholars were allowed to enter the house, according to Zhao Xing, it injected fresh blood into the rigid system. But in fact, it is still the solidified aristocracy who really controls the court, and those ambitious scholars are still constantly excluded and suppressed. Among them, including himself, the young monarch.

Look at the imposing and tide-like army, up to the real commander Le Qian, down to a military captain, which one is not from an aristocratic family?

If Wei used a talent like Le Yi, in this army, they would be just a pawn at most. Even if Le Qian dies in battle, he will definitely not be replaced by Wei Yong or Le Yi, he must be a son of a nobleman from Zhao State, a disciple of the Le family.

This is best reflected in Zhao Hao. In this Zhao country, which is already very enlightened compared to other princes, Zhao Hao of the Lian Gong clan, even if he has outstanding ability, can only be a military commander who watches the city gate. When he ascends to the throne, he needs to boil his qualifications and inherit the throne, which is a matter of the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse.

But he was recruited by Zhao Xing, and he could immediately lead 20,000 iron horsemen to cross the north and south; A shepherd Le Yi can immediately command 30,000 strong soldiers to conquer the princes from a slave.

However, even if these people are so outstanding and put them under their own hands, even if they are the real masters of Zhao State, can they or dare to appoint talents like this?

The answer is obvious - no, don't dare.

It's like this Wu Sheng who made an oath to himself, in fact, he can only talk about it. Because even if the Yan Kingdom is destroyed, the monarch of the Yan Kingdom will never give the military power to him with confidence and boldly. Without the oath of military power, do you still count? That's a cynical fart.

The chariot of the king passed through the pursuing procession, and all the soldiers who passed by raised their weapons and shouted from the heart, for which their steps became more sonorous and swift.

The king's cloak was made of a great feast, hunting and flying in the wind, so that all the soldiers were excited and willing to die. There is a book shortage

Or is it the same sentence, the king does not spare his life, why should he be poor and low? In this pursuit battle, the victory and defeat have already been decided because of the wagon of the monarch in the ranks, and the robe of the high-spirited monarch.

Riding Jie ran all the way, and when he was about to rest and eat at noon, he received the news that the spoon pass had fallen, which was simply a slap in the face, and the tens of thousands of people who claimed to be 200,000 were chasing Zhao Jun like a rainbow, and the approaching detectives made Riding Jie feel Alexander.

Now, the outcome he least wanted to see had appeared, the battle situation that he had subconsciously tried to deny. After all his calculations, he finally fell into the trap of Zhao Yong and Zhao Xing - there were chasing soldiers in the back, and there was blocking in front.

At this time, a general proposed to leave an army behind to block Zhao Yong's pursuit.

Looking at the endless Great Plains, Qi Jie shook his head: "This is the endless Great Plains, and there is no danger to defend at all." If you want to stop the enemy, there are too many people and horses, which is unrealistic; If there are fewer people, it is to create opportunities for people to break through, which is more than worth the loss. ”

Then he decisively ordered: "We can't rest any longer, we must get rid of the Zhao army chasing after us." Once we are entangled by him, our plan to return to the rescue capital will be a complete failure. ”

Faced with an unfavorable situation, Qijie made the only right choice.

The army had to end its rest, eat a half-cooked meal, and then continue to run wildly towards the capital.

The more he ran, the more tired he became, the distance between the two sides was constantly shortening, and what worried him even more was Zhao Xing on the opposite side.

The Chinese general is also worried about Zhao Xing, "Is it possible for him to wait for our army to return under our capital with peace of mind, and then start a dignified decisive battle with us?" ”

Qi Jie shook his head: "As far as I know, Zhao Xing is not a true gentleman, judging from his various actions and actions, he is an absolutely mercenary villain, and he will not fight with me." ”

"What does the general mean that he will set up an ambush on the way back to our army?"

Qi Jie shook his head again: "You don't have to worry about this, because from here to the national capital, there are such plains along the way, and there is no place to set up an ambush." Then he asked, "What's the place ahead?" ”

The Chinese general observed: "This is the land of sorghum, less than 100 miles away from the national capital. ”

Qi Jie asked the army: "Is there a city in Liangdi?" ”

The army immediately reported: "There is a city." ”

"What is this called, if it is a city, it is a city, if it is not, it is not, how to be ambiguous?"

This soldier said: "The city is small, and it can accommodate up to 20,000 people. ”

Qi Jie immediately decided: "Immediately send a hundred times, led by the Chinese general, to occupy Liangcheng." ”

The Chinese general nodded in agreement: "Since we are about to make contact with Zhao Xing, let's wait for him here to attack us." ”

Qi Jie nodded: "If we don't leave, we will be here, and the capital will become a horn, we will be inside, and Zhao Yong and Zhao Xing Xiao'er, let's have a decisive battle." ”
