"Artifact? If there really is such a thing, why didn't Your Majesty take it out earlier, and would you still be nervous about the five thousand Korean troops? ”

Zhao Gao naturally didn't believe in Wang Li, so the doubts in his heart deepened, "No, if Your Majesty really wants me to die, is it necessary to let Wang leave?"

Even if there is an internal official announcement, Zhao Cheng has to do it. Wang Li is the heir of the Wang family, if the twelve light horsemen make a mistake, won't their lives be lost? ”

Thinking of this, Zhao Gao suddenly became excited, secretly looked at Wang Li, and began to guess about that "artifact" again.

"I don't know what kind of artifact General Xiao Wang is carrying? What does it do? This time, Zhao Gao was not as cautious as before, but asked directly.

Seeing Zhao Gao's attitude change, Wang Li groaned slightly: "Oh? Zhao Qianqi is also interested? Of course, I can show it to adults, but it will allow me to sell it. ”

Seeing that Wang Li looked confident, Zhao Gao couldn't say anything more.

Moreover, Wang Li's military position is high, his title is high (the heir to the marquis), and his ability is high, so there is no reason for his subordinates to chase after his boss and ask questions.

Wang was born in a family, and he was naturally very good at observing words and feelings, so when he saw that Zhao Gao's face was not very good, he said:

"Zhao Qianqi don't be angry, it's inconvenient for me to say more precisely because of His Majesty's sealing ban, but after Zhao Qianqi sees it, it is naturally not a secret."

Zhao Gao could only nod on the donkey down the slope, and then handed over the talisman of the martial cavalry, this time Wang Li was very simple, it seems that Qin Zheng had already instructed him.

"Zhao Qianqi, I think we should repair it in situ, and Your Majesty's people are also on the way, and it is estimated that we have already arrived at Pujindu.

This time, the people not only brought food, grass and ordnance, but also clothing and tools, and when we returned, they would build a fortress outside Pujin as a base for re-entering Korea in the future. ”

As he spoke, Wang Li took out a map from behind and pointed out the location of the fortress to Zhao Gao.

Although Zhao Gao's actual combat level is average, he still has some knowledge, and the fortress on the map is located on the road from Pujin to Pingyang, the location is quite important, and the sketch of that fortress is also very unique.

"This is? With so many edges and corners in this fortress, isn't it too much of a waste of materials? Zhao Gao asked tentatively.

When Wang Li heard this, his eyes lit up and he couldn't hide his excitement and said: "This is Your Majesty's instructions, and he also demonstrated to me the attack and defense of this city, which is really quite exquisite!" When I get back, I'll do it again for the Thousand Riders. ”

In fact, they said that it was a simple fortress restored by Qin Zheng and Qin Mo's disciples, although it could not be compared with the original, but it was also more defensive than most square cities.

"Then thank you General Wang, I want to go and rest first."

Zhao Gao saw that Wang Li was guarding a bunch of secrets and was reluctant to say it, nor did he force it, anyway, now he is not the main general, and he has some "artifact", so he immediately hugged his fists and was about to leave.

Wang Li also replied politely: "Please take care of yourself." ”

As Zhao Gao left, Wang Li put away the map and beckoned to the eleven subordinates accompanying him:

"Zang Shuo went to put up my Great Qin's banner, and the others put down their things and probed in the direction of Pingyang, pay attention to concealment, understand?"

"Hey!" The eleven people led by Zang Shuo, the man of the iron tower, have been responding violently.

The originally demoralized martial knights next to them were also alarmed, and after seeing these elite private soldiers of the Wang family, the feeling in their hearts was really indescribable.

Zhao Gao, who had just sat down leaning on the rock, was naturally not attracted by this group of strong men, but he seemed to be more interested in the "artifact" that Wang Li said.

At this time, Zhao Cheng leaned up and asked in a low voice: "Brother, what did you say General Xiao Wang's artifact is?" Why are you still hiding it from us.

I see that their horses are carrying two large bags, but they are not very heavy, which is strange. ”

Zhao Gao shook his head and analyzed: "I don't know if I am a brother, but General Wang was born in the sect and has fought with General Wang for many years, so he will not be the kind of person who brags about Meng Lang." Moreover, he repeatedly referred to His Majesty......"

Zhao Cheng saw that his brother mentioned that His Majesty wanted to speak and stopped, and thought that he was still worried about that matter, so he immediately persuaded: "Brother, Your Majesty, he ......."

Zhao Gao raised his hand to interrupt Zhao Cheng's words, and said meaningfully: "No, Zhao Cheng, I'm not thinking about that matter, but I feel that Your Majesty seems to be a little different, and there is a big gap between it and before the coma......"

Zhao Cheng looked at his brother with a confused expression, of course he knew that Zhao Gao was a "confidential secretary" who had worked for Ying Zheng for more than ten or twenty years.

Zhao Gao probably knows His Majesty better than the Empress Dowager, and now that he says that His Majesty has changed, there must be a basis.

Zhao Gaoyi raised his head and stared at the sky, and said to himself: "Heh, those who are ministers are the most taboo and don't understand the king's heart, and those who are ministers are even more taboo who understand the king's heart too much." Well, now that I can't read it, I can probably live......"

Zhao Cheng naturally didn't understand what Zhao Gao said, so he shook his head and said no more. Then he lay down and fell asleep on the spot, leaving Zhao Gao alone to figure out the "Sacred Heart".

Time passed very quickly in the snoring of the Qin army, and it came to ten o'clock at noon, and most of the Qin army got up because there was an extra meal today.

"Lost the battle but got extra food? I'm afraid that this little general Wang will take us to Pingyang again......" Zhao Cheng looked at the vinegar corn soup in his hand and said to himself.

After hearing this, Zhao Gao didn't raise his head and continued to eat, because he had already seen Wang Li behind him out of the corner of his eye.

Wang Li clapped his hands and approached, and said with a smile: "Lord Xiao Zhao is really like a god, Ben Sima's spies got the news:

The Wei army only brought more than 3,000 young and strong Koreans and prisoners back to Pingyang, and it seems that they will not have too many men.

Our army's men and supplies have arrived, and now the enemy's new victory must be arrogant, this is an opportunity, we may be able to turn defeat into victory! ”

At this time, Zhao Gaocai slowly put down the corn in his hand and looked at Wang Li. The two looked at each other for a while, and Zhao Gao seemed to have found what he wanted from Wang Li's eyes.

"Hey!" Zhao Gao respectfully bowed and agreed.

Wang Li was also very happy, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhao Gao: "Okay, with Zhao Qianqi's assistance, our army will win this time!" ”

Half an hour later, Wang Li selected 300 men who were in better condition, redistributed equipment and horses (pack horses) for them, and the rest turned around and hurried back to Pujin.

Under the leadership of the giant Han Zang Shuoqingqi, the three hundred and twelve cavalry knights of Great Qin attacked again. What's different is that they got a new commander, a young famous general - Wang Li, and a legendary artifact!

When the Qin army was "moths to the fire", the Wei army was not idle, and they took the thousands of Koreans who were picked around and advanced to Pingyang.

But they also didn't expect that those bug-like Koreans would become the biggest obstacle to their march at this time.

It turned out that when the Qin army drove away the Koreans, the refugees carried their own main food. But last night the situation was very chaotic, a large number of Koreans were killed, and countless grains were lost, even if they were not lost, they were all concentrated in the hands of the Wei army and Qingzhuang.

Now that the Wei army has learned the lesson of the Qin army, and does not take these Koreans back to the city at all, how can the old and weak women and children in this cold winter have not eaten or drunk, how can they go back? Even if you go back, there is no way out!

The "free" Koreans obstructed the advance of the Wei army, and because they did not dare to face its edge, they could only keep harassing them on the road, so that the Wei army could take them with them or kill them.

This led to the very slow speed of the Wei army, and the Han people were unwilling to separate from their wives and children, and they were also uncooperative.

Therefore, the Wei army actually experienced the fun of the "people's war" before the Qin army......

Shi Bao said worriedly: "General, it's not a way to go on like this, it took us half a day to leave the battlefield last night!" ”

Sima Shi looked at the situation in front of him, and his heart was also a little irritable, but he didn't have any good solutions.

He didn't dare to borrow a sword like the Qin army did when he fled, what if the Koreans rioted again?

"Zhong Rong, take out some of the grain and throw it back, scatter it a little, and let them grab it themselves." Sima Shi could only barely think of this bad idea.

"Okay, I'll arrange ......."

Shi Bao responded helplessly, and just as he was about to turn away, a scout galloped over and reported to Sima Shi with a fist:

"The rear found the banner of the Qin army, a total of 300 horsemen, twenty-five miles away from here, and they are coming here with great fanfare! There is no more Qin army around! ”

When Sima Shi and Shi Bao heard this, they were a little surprised: If you can't win with nine hundred horsemen, you can do it with three hundred horsemen? And the march is loud, for fear that others will not know where you are? Isn't this looking for death?

Shi Bao, who has always been cautious, hurriedly said: "The general is careful of deception!" ”

Sima Shi looked disdainful: "Hmph, the moth fights the fire and kills itself!" ”
