Chapter XI. Two months

"The last general, Liu Wei, on the order of the King of Qin, invites Uncle Zhongshan to gather in Xianyang." The general on the horse saluted the head of the city.

Uncle Zhongshan asked angrily: "Since it is an invitation, why did the general raise swords and soldiers all the way, seize my city pass, and kidnap my people?" ”

Liu Wei said loudly: "Liu Wei has something wrong, and I hope that Uncle Zhongshan will open the city to greet him regardless of his past suspicions, and he will be punished at the King of Qin at the end of the day." ”

"General Hugh said more!" Uncle Zhongshan said angrily, angrily waving his sleeves and turning to leave.

Liu Wei immediately saluted again and said loudly: "Then the general will have to wait for Uncle Zhongshan outside the city." ”

Under the leadership of Liu Wei, the five thousand iron horsemen turned their horses' heads and headed towards the camp.

Everyone at the head of the city looked at the rolling yellow sand brought up by the distant figure of the Qin army, and breathed a sigh of relief, the momentum brought by that army was really too depressing.

"General Wang, can you take me to appreciate the style of the Zhongshan military camp?" After the Qin army walked away, Chen Ziyou suddenly asked General Wang beside him.

General Wang was stunned for a moment, and then said briskly: "Of course, sir, please." ”

Under the leadership of General Wang, Chen Ziyou came to the barracks of the Zhongshan Army, and at this moment, the soldiers were training.

Chen Ziyou sighed in his heart after taking a few glances, and then looked at the soldiers of Zhongshan after appreciating the flying tiger riding of the Qin State, compared to the two, the gap was too big.

If there is only this kind of combat effectiveness, I am afraid that the battle plan will be changed, Chen Ziyou began to think silently in his heart, there was originally a very important part of his plan, but to complete this link, an elite cavalry unit is needed, but after seeing the 3,000 cavalry in Zhongshan Kingdom, he was greatly disappointed.

In this case, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve a big victory!

General Wang bowed his head and was silent after seeing Chen Ziyou's military appearance in Zhongshan, and smiled awkwardly: "Our soldiers have been absent from the battle formation for a long time, and there is indeed a big gap compared with the Qin army. ”

Chen Ziyou smiled politely: "It's okay, I also take the liberty to ask the general, these 3,000 cavalry are the top combat power in Zhongshan Kingdom, right?" ”

General Wang was silent for a while, and finally seemed to have made a lot of determination, and finally spoke in Chen Ziyou's curious gaze: "Don't hide it from Mr. In fact, there is still a force. ”

"Isn't it the lord's personal guard?" Chen Ziyou asked.

"Sir is really clever, yes, there is a team of pro-riders around the lord of the country, there is also a scale of 3,000 people, called the mountain rider, taking the meaning of immovable as a mountain, their task is to defend the safety of the lord of the country to the death, not to leave the slightest, like a mountain to stand still. However, this cavalry has always obeyed the arrangement of the lord of the kingdom alone, and the general has no power to dispatch them. General Wang said solemnly.

"I wonder how effective this mountain rider is?"

"Although our country's national strength is weak, this mountain cavalry is a force that has been trained by the whole country for a long time to defend the security of the country, even compared to the Flying Tiger Cavalry of the Qin State, it may only be the experience on the battlefield." General Wang said confidently.

Chen Ziyou was happy in his heart, if he could be comparable to the Qin Army's Flying Tiger Cavalry, then as an important part of his battle plan, he believed that he could be competent.

"But I advise Mr. not to be happy too early, after all, the mountain rider is the personal guard of the lord of the country, and not to mention what the state wants, the doctors in the court are afraid that they will not agree to Mr.'s request." General Wang also guessed Chen Ziyou's thoughts and reminded him.

"It doesn't matter. It's just that I want to enter the palace again. Chen Ziyou smiled and said with confidence.

Next.

"No! The mountain rider is the pro-army of the lord of the country, and the task has always been to protect the safety of the lords of the past dynasties, even if the city is broken, the mountain riders can also take the lord of the country to kill a bloody road, and then ask for help from other countries, and there is still the hope of recovering the country, how can it be easily mobilized! Above the main hall, when Chen Ziyou proposed to Zhongshan Bo to borrow the mountain horse, a doctor said fiercely.

Chen Ziyou looked at Uncle Zhongshan, and Uncle Zhongshan also had a difficult look on his face at this time.

Chen Zi paraded and said: "The grass people know that they are taking great risks, but since the invasion of the Qin State, the documents asking for help from various countries have not stopped for a day, but they are all like stones sinking into the sea, all the countries are afraid of offending the Tianwei of the Qin State, and each seeks to protect itself, even if the lord of the country relies on the mountain to ride out of the siege on the day of the city, will there be princes willing to take in the lord?" Even if some princes are willing to take them in, will the purpose be pure? Under the fence, the strength is weak, how can we talk about recovering the country? ”

After listening to Chen Ziyou's words, Uncle Zhongshan began to hesitate.

The doctor who had spoken fiercely before said again: "Mr. was not ashamed of his words before, and he said that he had a strategy to retreat from the enemy, but today he wants to use it by riding on the mountain, which makes people have to doubt Mr.'s purpose!" ”

Chen Ziyou sneered and said: "Even if there is no mountain cavalry, I can expel the Qin army, but this is just a temporary peace in Baoshou City, if the Qin army regroups and Xianyang sends additional reinforcements, what should I do then?" Only a big victory can deter the King of Qin, and he will not dare to move his sword soldiers lightly. ”

Chen Ziyou saluted Zhongshan Bo on the throne again: "Since the Qin army invaded the border, the city has been lost, and the people have been displaced, and only a shocking victory can regain the trust of the people. Even if there is no mountain horse, the grass people will keep their promise and expel the Qin army, but with the mountain horse, the grass people have a foolproof plan to let the Qin army be annihilated! ”

The doctor spoke again: "Lord, don't do it! ”

Uncle Zhongshan stood up from the throne, swept his eyes to the people in the hall, and then as if he had made up his mind, he said: "Since the Qin army invaded the border, our army has been defeated and retreated, and the people have been displaced. The mountain rider is Lone's pro-army, and the task is to protect the safety of Lone, but Lone is the parent of the people of Zhongshan Kingdom, and the task is to protect the safety of the people of the whole country. It is not indispensable to defend the people of the world with the soldiers of the guards. ”

Zhongshan Bo slowly took out the saber at his waist, walked down the steps step by step, and walked in front of Chen Ziyou.

"This is Lonely's sword, seeing the sword is like seeing Lonely, and it is also an object for dispatching mountain riders. Gu entrusted the sword to Mr. Yu today, and hoped that Mr. would live up to the expectations of Gu and the people of Zhongshan. ”

Chen Ziyou bowed down and took the saber, and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, Lord of the country." ”

"Do you have any other requests, sir? But it doesn't hurt to mention it. ”

Chen Ziyou shook his head with a smile and said, "Please the lord of the country and the princes of the palace, wait for the good news!" ”

......

November 13, 387 AH.

It has been nearly two months since the general of Zhongshan Bodian entrusted the sword to Chen Ziyou, and in the past two months, Chen Ziyou has gone to the barracks every morning to accompany General Wang to watch the training, and stayed in the library in the palace in the afternoon to read ancient books, but he has also lived a fulfilling life.

However, recently, there have been rumors in the army in the city, saying that the food in the city has run out, and the Qin army has surrounded Shoucheng for two months, and there is no food and grass supply to enter the city.

Chen Ziyou knew that it couldn't be delayed any longer, and if the Qin army was not broken any longer, the city would probably collapse by itself.

The final preparations before the implementation of the plan are also about to begin.

He walked out of the residence and was led by the palace guards to the dormitory of Uncle Zhongshan.

"Mr. hasn't come to see Gu for a long time, if it weren't for the fact that General Wang could hear Mr. mention Mr. inspecting the barracks every day, Mr. Gu could have escaped from Shoucheng." Uncle Zhongshan looked at Chen Ziyou and quipped.

Chen Ziyou smiled slightly, saluted and said, "The grass people saw the lord of the country this time to inform the lord of the country that the day of breaking the enemy has come. ”

Uncle Zhongshan looked at Chen Ziyou happily, and after helping him up, he hurriedly asked, "When will you break the enemy?" ”

"Tomorrow."
