Zhao Kuo was very tired.

It's really tiring.

Although it was a hot summer day, Zhao Kuo walked in the shadow of the leaves in the woods, but it was not so hot.

But the problem is that there is no road in this forest at all, and all kinds of branches and leaves hit Zhao Kuo's body, causing many small wounds to appear on his body and arms.

And that's not all.

A hissing sound suddenly sounded, and Zhao Kuo turned his head violently when he felt something, but found that on a branch a few feet away, a poisonous snake was spitting a letter at him.

"Whoosh!"

An arrow came from the side, poisoning the snake's seven inches, nailing the snake firmly to the trunk of the tree.

A dark-skinned hand reached over, pulled out an arrow, and took down the poisonous snake that was already paralyzed, and then a bronze dagger stabbed into the belly of the poisonous snake, and then reached out, and a small snake gall appeared in front of Zhao Kuo.

"General, snake gallbladder can clear the eyes and clear the poison, please take it." The guide in front of Zhao Kuo handed the snake gall in front of Zhao Kuo, with a very flattering smile on his face.

Zhao Kuo shrugged his shoulders, took the snake gall bladder and swallowed it into his stomach.

A fishy smell lingered in his mouth, making Zhao Kuo feel nauseous.

Zhao Kuo spat out a mouthful of saliva vigorously, and then said to the guide in front of him: "Hunter, how long will it take to get out of Zhongtiao Mountain?" ”

The hunter is the name of the guide in front of him.

In this era, ordinary people do not have surnames, so hunters are hunters, not hunters.

The reason why he is called a hunter is, of course, because he hunts in the Nakajo Mountains all year round, just as the person who calls the dog butcher is a butcher who specializes in killing dogs, and the person named Ku Ding is the cook who cooks the food in the kitchen.

The hunter grinned and said to Zhao Kuo: "Don't worry, general, at most you should be able to get out of this mountain before sunset tonight." ”

Zhao Kuo's face relaxed slightly when he heard this, patted the hunter's shoulder, and said, "Very good, if you can take me out of this mountain smoothly, then your credit is indispensable." ”

Zhao Kuo is not alone, in fact, behind Zhao Kuo, there is a long dragon composed of soldiers of the Zhao army.

Since crossing the Yellow River, they have been trekking through the Zhongtiao Mountains with great difficulty, and in the past few days they have climbed many high mountains and crossed countless dense forests, and finally they are about to get out of this mountain range.

Even though he had long been accustomed to the hard life of marching and fighting, Zhao Kuo had to admit that the hardships of this trip over Zhongtiao Mountain still surprised him.

Poisonous insects and beasts, lofty mountains, almost no roads can only be slowly advanced on their own feet, and there are countless mosquito bites at night.

Hundreds of Zhao soldiers remained in this mountain forever because of these things.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but glance at the hunter in front of him.

If it weren't for this guide who hunted in the Nakajo Mountains all year round, then I am afraid that I would not be able to get out of this mountain range.

He's a guy worth recruiting.

Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo spoke: "Hunter, are you willing to be my personal soldier?" ”

As a general, Zhao Guo already had the power to set up his own personal guard.

When the hunter heard this, he was overjoyed, and bowed to Zhao Kuana: "Thank you, general." ”

Zhao Kuo smiled slightly, helped the hunter up, and as soon as he said a few words of encouragement, he got the promise that the other party couldn't wait to get his heart and mind.

In this thought, although the high-level people are deceitful, the ordinary people at the bottom are still the most simple.

One forest after another of forests and bushes were crossed by Zhao Kuo and the Zhao soldiers behind him, and although the scenery was not repeated, it still gave people a feeling of no end.

I don't know how long it took, but the hunter who had been walking in front of him to explore the path suddenly turned his head, and his happy expression was clear when he spoke: "General, it's here!" ”

Zhao Kuo was overjoyed, and shouted at the soldiers of the Zhao army behind him: "Second and third sons, and keep going, we have arrived!" ”

A moment later, Zhao Kuo's front was cheerful, endless green filled his sight, and the plain of Hedong County finally appeared in front of him.

The sunlight without the shade of the trees sprinkled straight down from the sky and hit Zhao Kuo's head, and the scorching air instantly surrounded Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo looked at the endless plain of Hedong County in front of him, and the tall city wall looming at the end of his sight, and finally couldn't help laughing.

After five days of arduous marching, he finally crossed the Zhongtiao Mountain Range and came to Hedong County!

Behind Zhao Kuo, one after another Zhao soldiers walked out one after another, many of them were scarred, and they couldn't help but collapse on the ground as soon as they appeared, feeling reborn after the catastrophe.

Zhao Kuo summoned the scout captain and said, "You immediately take a few people to Anyi City to reconnoiter and see if the people of the Qin State are on guard!" The rest of the people rest in place, and don't show their tracks! ”

The scout captain answered, and sped away with a few scouts.

Two hours later, Zhao Kuo got the news he wanted.

"General, the gate of Anyi City is closed, and there are many Qin troops above the city, and the security is extremely tight."

Zhao Kuo nodded, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "Can you guess how many Qin troops there are in Anyi City?" ”

The scout captain shook his head and said, "I wanted to catch a few live mouths, but I didn't wait for a while. ”

Zhao Kuo, who couldn't get an answer, was not so frustrated, he looked up at the sky, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Alright, give the order to go down, and the whole army will go west along the woods, and then set up camp after sunset!"

"To the west?" The hunter standing beside Zhao Kuo was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but remind: "General, then Anyi City is in the northeast, if it is to the west, wouldn't it be the opposite direction of Anyi City?" ”

Zhao Kuo laughed and slapped the hunter on the shoulder: "Who said that General Ben is going to attack Anyi?" You don't think that with just the 3,000 men behind General Ben, you can conquer such a big city as Anyi, do you? ”

Yes, the army that followed Zhao Kuo did not have an army of 100,000 as Bai Qi thought, but only an elite army of 3,000 people.

The tasks that Zhao Kuo had received in advance were not one, but two.

The first mission is to take down the castle and hold on to the reinforcements if you find that the Anyi garrison is empty after crossing the Nakajo Mountains.

The second is the Preparatory Plan, which is needed to be activated when the defenders of Anyi City are prepared and it is determined that it will never be possible to capture Anyi.

That is to go all the way west along the Nakajo Mountain Range, all the way to the end of the Nakajo Mountains, and then attack the Pujin Pass not far from this end!

The army of 100,000 is absolutely vast and boundless, and it is impossible to hide its whereabouts.

But if it was only three thousand troops, then the situation was completely different.

With the help of the cover of the forest, and the fact that the Qin army did not expect this direction of Zhao Jun's march at all, Zhao Kuo felt that he was basically able to arrive in front of Pujindu unconsciously.

"I heard that a large amount of grain and grass of the Qin army is transported ashore in Pujindu every day, if I can capture Pujin Pass and burn the grain and grass stored in the city, then will this credit be less at that time?"

As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but laugh.

The sun gradually set in the west, and under the leadership of Zhao Kuo, 3,000 Zhao soldiers gradually disappeared into the sunset along the forests at the foot of the mountain.
