Outside of Los Angeles, the two armies faced each other. The army of Qin and the princes was nearly 40,000, and the combined army of Zhao and Qi was more than 30,000. Whether it is here or in the entire Zhongzhou region, a more fierce war is inevitable.

In what can be said to be the center of the world, there have been many wars over the centuries. There are countless swords, swords, and bloody intrigues around here. In this process, the power of the Great Zhou Dynasty was gradually weakened, and the nearly 100 princes who were originally divided into the world finally left less than a dozen of them. Countless powerful figures have been swallowed up by constant wars. And those prosperous royal families are aging or dying from generation to generation. Not to be spared.

And today, when the Great Zhou Dynasty finally declined to the point where only a hundred miles of land remained. The ambition in someone's heart finally can't be resisted. This nominal royal power should also be replaced by a more powerful force!

In the battle of Zhongzhou, the world shook. Countless people's eyes were looking nervously here, and all kinds of news were transmitted to the ears of the princes watching at any time. Whether it is for the sake of the great changes in the general situation of the world or for the sake of their own interests, no one dares to underestimate the imminent consequences of this war.

And for the people of Los Angeles in this whirlpool, after doing their best to withstand the enemy's siege, they finally waited for a turnaround. The arrival of the Zhao army not only temporarily relieved the crisis of the city's destruction, but also gave people great confidence.

Of course, the threat of the armies of the princes remained. In the end, it was not so easy to keep their royal city. In any case, for the rescue of that young King Zhao, everyone in Los Angeles was very grateful from top to bottom. Especially some elderly people, they remembered that more than ten years ago, it was also the crisis encountered by Zhao Guo to rescue Wang Du. Unexpectedly, yesterday reappeared, although King Chulie of Zhao was no longer there, his son did not lose his heroic loyalty.

The people of Los Angeles very much wanted to see the demeanor of King Zhao Chu Jiangmian with their own eyes, but to their disappointment, King Zhao did not enter the city. He stayed only for a short time at the West City Gate, then he took his leave, said goodbye, and went to the camp to settle the men he had brought with him.

Many L.A. people secretly watched from above. I saw that outside the west city, as far as the eye could see, the army camp of the princes was in the southwest corner, and the Zhao army had been stationed in the northwest corner. The two armies faced each other, and the walls were strong. Looking at the scale, of course, the princes' army is large, which inevitably makes people worried.

In the blink of an eye, the sun is like blood, and twilight falls. When the land was calm again, dark clouds hung overhead. In the temporary camp, most of the Zhao Qi troops who had come from a long distance had already begun to rest.

And in the big tent of Zhao Wang Chu Jiangmian, the lights were on, and he was seriously looking at the piled up sand table, his eyes swept over those small hills or rivers over and over again, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Loyal guards vigilantly stand guard in the darkness around them. The night wind was cold, and the whole body was cold, but no one cared about it. Although they knew that King Zhao was protected by the top masters, these guards who followed from Jinxiang Palace still fulfilled their duties and did not dare to slack off in the slightest. The assassination that took place during the time of Qi had already posed a threat to King Zhao. They will not allow it to happen a second time. Bai Ye and Blue Bird stood quietly on the side, and when Chu Jiangmian didn't greet them, the two of them would definitely not say a word. And Lao Ji, who was holding the wine jug in the corner, seemed to have fallen asleep and snored slightly.

There was the sound of rolling thunder in the sky, and soon it began to rain. Soon after, the lights flickered, and someone walked in, and in the face of the inquiry of those eyes, Bai Ye and Blue Bird only nodded. Then a slight footstep walked up to Chu Jiangmian, and a pair of hands had already draped the cotton wool cloak over his shoulders.

"Why are you here, aren't you resting?"

"The autumn rain is cold on the night, and some of the things I brought for you are in the carriage over there, and I brought them for you."

A woman who has always been straightforward is not used to serving others. Although her tone was as soft as possible, it was inevitable that there was a little stiffness after all.

Chu Jiangmian, who had been meditating for a long time, seemed to have just woken up. He raised his head, and in the light of the torch, he saw that the woman in front of him was wet with rain, and then he heard the sound of rain falling on the ground outside, and the sound of tents clanging everywhere.

"It's raining! But they didn't pay attention...... Hehe! Thank you, worry-free. ”

The cloak draped over the body is very warm. There is no luxurious decoration, but the fabric is well-proportioned and the stitches are fine, and the sewing person must be very careful. Princess Sanssouci heard his thanks, but she looked a little embarrassed. When she was about to say something, she only heard Chu Jiangmian ask in a strange voice again.

"Is this from your hands? I can't see it! Not only can you go into battle to kill the enemy, but you can also do these ....... ”

"No, no! It was hand-sewn by the queen mother, and I ...... I...... Hee-hee! But not that. ”

The princess blushed suddenly. Because, she remembered that when she set off from Qi Kingdom, the queen specially filled her with a whole cart of things, which of course included some prepared for Chu Jiangmian. What I know is to fight with the army, but I don't know that I think it's a dowry for the princess!

And what made Carefree even more embarrassed was that the queen had whispered in her ear. The clothes, food, etc., prepared here, if Chu Jiangmian asked, she must say that she personally prepared them for him. It's just that although Princess Sanssouci knew that this was the kindness of the queen mother, she didn't want to gain Chu Jiangmian's favor in this way. She's who she is! It's the general who rushes into battle in heroic armor, not a delicate princess who needs to curry favor with King Zhao!

"That's right...... Ha ha! Well, when I go to Qi Country in the future, I will thank you in person!"

"Then you don't have to! In fact, now that Qi can produce such high-quality fabrics, I would like to thank you for your help. The new looms you sent to help build were simply too useful for silkworm farmers and knitters...... The queen mother has praised you more than once! Even among the people of Qi, there are many people who are grateful to you...... The Queen Mother said, "You may not take these things to heart, but we should not forget them." ”

In the dim light, Princess Sanssouci's eyes were filled with a faint light. She looked at the man in front of her who had always made her feel very mysterious, and she didn't know why, she always felt that he seemed to be out of reach, not like any character in this red dust.

Chu Jiangmian naturally didn't know what she was thinking. He shook his head slightly, the help for Qi Guo was just the beginning. Of course, after a series of in-depth cooperation that has been launched, it is not only beneficial to the Qi State, but also the Zhao State can get unimaginable benefits from it. If his plan can be successfully completed, the entire coast of the East China Sea will become the most solid rear reserve base of the Zhao State. When it comes to conquering the world in the future, it will play a huge role.

Moreover, in addition, the vast sea is where his eyes are in the future. If you want to realize your ambitions in this regard, you must use the land of Qi to open up the East China Sea and set sail.

Now all the cooperation with Qi Guo is very smooth, and on this good foundation, it is not difficult to realize his plan step by step.

And the victory that Zhao Jun had just achieved in Yan State made Chu Jiangmian feel even more reassured. Most of the territory of Yan has been returned to Zhao, which is equivalent to having a strong barrier in the north. Since then, the contest with Hu Qi has had a broader battlefield. In time, he has accumulated strength and completely eliminated the threat of the Hu people, and he already has a lot of confidence. The top priority now is to win the Battle of Zhongzhou, as long as this crucial chess piece is dropped in the center of the world, he has already taken the lead in controlling the overall situation of the whole world!

"Our army has come from a long distance, and we are already tired. Aren't you afraid that the princes' armies will come tonight and attack at night? ”

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, his eyes kept staring at the sand table. Princess Sanssouci finally couldn't help it and said the hesitant words in her heart.

A teasing smile flashed in Chu Jiangmian's eyes. This princess of Qi is obviously very interested in the battlefield, and she must often secretly consult with those generals of Qi in private. However, in front of the army under his personal command, if the enemy wants to come and attack, he can only ask for trouble.

Of course, there was no need to explain some of the preparations he had laid out to her in detail. If you want to be a general, you have to understand it yourself in war. Now, as long as she understands that the alliance of princes will not come to sneak attack.

"Don't worry! Wang Feng is not Mu Xueqing, this person's style of using troops has always been step by step, steady and steady, and strive for a stable word in everything. He will not send troops casually until he is sure of victory. ”

"Are you so sure of your judgment? In case of....... ”

"No in case! If the other party can make a dangerous move, he can't ask for it. All I'm worried about now is that if the two armies face off for too long, I can't afford to fight them. ”

"Why? Since Los Angeles is still there, it is enough to support the army to fight, and it is not afraid of the cut off of logistics support. Don't...... Are there other reasons that are not in our favor? ”

Princess Sanssouci suddenly turned into a curious baby, tugging at his sleeve and asking non-stop. White Night and Bluebird turned their heads away, pretending not to see. Chu Jiangmian rubbed his forehead and said helplessly.

"I just received the news that Zhao Guo was attacked. The Wei people took advantage of the fire to rob and wanted to take advantage of the fishermen...... If it drags on here for a long time, the war that has already begun in the territory of Zhao will be difficult to reassure after all. ”
