Uetani County, 雊瞀县.

The weather in February has entered the early spring. The trees and grass above the field have turned green.

Outside the county seat, there are large camps that stretch beyond the boundary. The flags in the camp fluttered in the wind, like waves in the sea, which was very spectacular.

As the commander of the western army of Yan and Zhao, the big tent of the Chinese army in Changguo Junle has moved from Fuyang to Yanyu.

Looking at the Daicheng that is close to the Zhao State, turning over the mountains in front, and then going west, it is the Daicheng of Daijun, the county capital.

In the big camp outside the city, it was Le Jian who led the 200,000 main Yan army of Zhao.

With such a large army coming here, needless to say, the soldiers of Yan and Zhao know it very well in their hearts.

The generals of the Zhao army of Daijun also dispatched troops to organize a large army to fortify the western section of the mountain range. According to the information sent back by the intelligence officers, the general of Zhao Guo, Le Cheng, who was stationed in Jinyang City, that is, Lejian's cousin, also led an army of 50,000 and prepared to go north to support the Zhao army in Daijun.

The countries of the Central Plains all set their eyes on the northern frontier of the Central Plains and paid attention to the Daijun War between Yan and Zhao.

According to the plan of the military department, he led the main army in Lejian and arrived at the city.

Zuo Zong, the commander of the Second Army, led his troops to Ningxian (now Wanquan County, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei) and Guangning (now south of Zhangjiakou City, Hebei) in the north of Shanggu County to prevent Li Mu's army in Yunzhong and Yanmen.

Of course, before this, the First Division of the First Army of the Navy led by Li Min, with tens of thousands of troops, had set out from Pan County in Shanggu County (now in Baodai Town, Zhuolu County, Hebei) and secretly went to Daicheng by boat along the water.

For this battle against Zhao, the top and bottom of the Yan Kingdom cannot pay too much attention to it.

In order to cooperate with the naval officers and soldiers led by Li Min to take Daijun, the main force was led to attack at the same time as the First Army. He personally led an army division, and under the leadership of the military guide, he followed a path between the mountains in the city and the city, interspersed with the city.

With the cover of the 200,000 troops of Changguo Junle, the 10,000 people led by Rong Yan left the palace without letting the Zhao army find out, which was very smooth. After entering the mountains, the speed of the march of this large army slowed down significantly.

On early spring nights, the weather is still cold, and there is a chill in the fresh air.

Above the sky, the bright moon hung high, the stars were shining, and the dense forests of the mountains were covered with a silver glow.

After entering the mountains, the roads are long, winding, and steep, and the army should not think of horseback riding. The soldiers of the Yan Kingdom marching on the mountain road were all on foot.

Between Shanggu County and Zhao Guodai County of Yan Kingdom, the basin is surrounded by mountains. The battle of the Yan State against Daijun, if you don't use strange tricks and fight hard, it will be really difficult.

In the middle of the procession, Rong Yan, like many soldiers, dismounted and walked.

In the army, from time to time, there were low calls of the soldiers to "be careful".

Whether it is the navy led by Li Min or the army of Rongyan interspersed in the lofty mountains, it is a dangerous move for the Yan army, but if you want to take Daicheng as soon as possible before the Zhao army led by Le Cheng reinforces it, you have to do it.

After the army had crossed a pass, the sky was beginning to lighten.

Fang Hai, the deputy general of Rong Yan's trip, came to Rong Yan from the front at this time and reported to Rong Yanyu:

"General, the scouts have come to report, everything is going well for our army, and if we cross the mountain in front of us, our army will completely pass through the mountain range. Is it to let the army take a break, once out of the mountain, the Zhao army will definitely find our army. ”

Rong Yan laughed, looked up at the sky, and ordered:

"Pass my general order, and the army will camp in the dense forest ahead."

At the sound of an order, the herald beside Rong Yan acted quickly. In less than a quarter of an hour, the whole army slowly descended and entered the dense forest ahead, showing the excellent military quality of the officers and men of the first sergeant.

After a night of marching, even Rong Yan, who had practiced martial arts since he was a child, showed a tired look on his face.

"Fang Hai, did you say that the navy led by Li Min has not reached the city of Daicheng now?"

Rong Yan sat on a mountain rock in the forest and said to the deputy general Fang Haiyan.

"General, the last general thought that the navy was discovered by the Zhao army along the way, and it was too late to stop them. Zhao Jun would definitely not have thought that our Yan Kingdom would send a navy to Daijun. ”

Deputy General Fang Hai said to Rong Yan with confidence.

Rong Yan thought for a while, and couldn't help but say to the other party: "Fang Hai, according to what you say, this first merit in attacking Daijun will still not fall on the head of my first army?" ”

Fang Hai was stunned for a moment, who will take Daicheng, is this question very important?

Of course, as Rong Yan's deputy general, he is very clear about his main general's thoughts.

In the Battle of Yan State in the year before last, and in the Battle of the Central Plains last year, the First Army led by Rong Yan was stationed in Shanggu County and did not participate in the battle. As the commander of the First Army, Rong Yan scolded his father Rong Yan a lot.

It's not a rumor in front of him, saying that he is the son of the general Rong Yan, which is simply a kind of "sadness".

This attack on Daijun made Rong Yan very happy.

Originally, it was the task of other generals to intersperse behind enemy lines and cooperate with the navy to capture Daicheng. Rong Yan insisted on pestering Changguo Junle and snatched the interspersed task this time.

"General, in the eyes of the last general, as long as our army passes through the mountains in front and comes to the rear of the Zhao army, it will be the first achievement. If the navy can capture Daicheng, our army will rely on Daicheng to block the Zhao army; If the navy can't take the city, then it's our army's business. In any case, the first merit of our army has already been obtained. ”

Fang Hai said to Rong Yan.

After Rong Yan listened to Fang Hai's words, his face turned into a flower.

slapped his thigh, and the other party said: "Fang Hai, what you said is very right!" ”

Then his brows furrowed again, and after thinking for a while, the other party Haidao:

"Fang Hai, the more this time, the more our army can't be careless. Immediately send scouts to the outside of the mountain to spy on the movements of Daicheng and the Zhao army who are blocking our army, so that they can report back as soon as possible. ”

Fang Hai stood up, clenched his fists and bowed, "No." ”

From this point, it can be seen that Rong Yan, as the commander of an army, is far from what it seems on the surface.

Looking at Fang Hai, who had gone away to carry out his orders, Rong Yan was very satisfied.

The system of the Yan army is like this, the rank of the chief general and the deputy general is the same, and only in wartime is the power of the chief general fully granted, but the chief general also understands that the deputy general will still supervise himself.

As Rong Yan's deputy general, Fang Hai is rigorous in his work, his ability is also very good, and he usually does not point fingers at himself, and he is very respectful to himself, such a person, Rong Yan appreciates this very much.

Although it was a rapid march at night, the Yan army that entered the forest still set up camp quickly in accordance with military discipline.

While the army was camping, the cooking teams of each company were busy burying pots and cooking. According to the military discipline of the Yan army, there can be no smoke from open flames at this time, and the stoves built by the cooking class are all smokeless stoves, and they all use special coke that they carry with them.

Compressed dry food and special "canned food" were already the standard configuration of the Yan army during the war.

Soon, all the soldiers of the army had eaten a hot meal, and immediately, many Yan soldiers took out the woolen blankets on their backs, spread them on the ground, and fell asleep.

The sky was just dawning, and the big camp was in the big tent of the Yan army.

Lejian, the commander of the Yan army, got up and washed up briefly, and one of his personal guards walked into the tent to report:

"General, my intelligence officer is waiting outside the tent now."

Rakuma ordered the guards, "Quick, let them in." ”

"Can I send a message in the direction of my front?" Rakuma asked eagerly to the intelligence officer who walked into the tent.

"General Qiyu, a message from the direction of Daicheng has sent a message from our army. The navy led by General Li Min has planned to arrive in Daicheng this morning; The army led by General Rong Yan did not let the Zhao army notice anything...... "The intelligence officer said.

Lejian listened carefully, and saw that the situation was roughly in line with his expectations, and his heart was slightly relieved.

"My personnel stationed in the Daicheng Daihou Mansion can attract the attention of Zhao Jun?" Rakuma asked again.

"General, the personnel I am currently in Daicheng are still very safe."

The intelligence officer replied respectfully.

Hearing this, Rakuma nodded, and said to the person in charge of the intelligence bureau:

"That's fine, keep an eye on what's going on in front of you. As soon as there is a change, return it as soon as possible. ”

"No." The intelligence officer bowed down and withdrew from the tent.

Rakuma stood up, came to the map in the tent, looked at the Daijun on the map, and said to himself:

"If it follows the plan, now the navy led by Li Min has arrived in Daicheng and should launch an attack on Daicheng."
