Chapter 001: Inexplicable Crossing

Next Chapter

The sun is shining, everything is recovering, in this fertile and vast eastern land, once belonged to the territory called the Great Zhou Dynasty, tens of millions of Great Zhou people, after several generations, hundreds of years of development, and finally built countless towns on this vast land. The Great Zhou Dynasty, which had millions of troops, was once prosperous and powerful, and it was unrivaled in the southern and northern wars, and all the foreign races in all directions bowed down to them. However, such a powerful empire was weakened by the centralization of the empire twenty years ago, and the princes everywhere supported their own troops and did not obey the central government's dispatch, and internal strife perished. After the fall of the Great Zhou Empire, wars broke out, the princes fought each other in order to expand their power, after several years of war, only Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, Qin seven forces remained, and then the seven forces successively established the country and called the emperor, and finally formed the situation of the seven kingdoms, among which the Chu state was the most powerful, the head of the seven countries. And around the Seven Kingdoms, there are Turks in the east, Western Xia in the west, Nanyue in the south, Xiongnu and other nomadic peoples in the north, although the Seven Kingdoms regard themselves as civilized and orthodox, and have never put these nomads in their eyes, but over the years, these nomadic countries have been constantly invading the borders of various countries, which has also given the emperors a headache!

.....................

On the border between Zhao and Yan, on a road between the mountains and mountains, an army of Zhao appeared, numbering about 10,000 people, walking in a long line on this narrow mountain road.

At this moment, the team all stopped, only to see a white-robed general riding a horse towards the middle of the team, and when he arrived in front of a carriage in the middle of the team, he dismounted and bowed respectfully and said: "Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, our army has arrived at the Tianmang Mountain area, and if we move forward, we are about to enter the boundary of Yan Kingdom, according to the agreement with Yan Kingdom, our army should line up here and wait for the arrival of the Yan State army to meet!" ”

The curtain of the carriage was opened, and a little eunuch about sixteen years old got out of the carriage first, and then a young man came out, this is the Royal Highness of the Fourth Prince that the general said just now.

I saw that His Highness was pale and bloodless, as if he was seriously ill and looked weak. After he got out of the carriage tremblingly, he picked up the general and said, "General Lian Feng, please get up."

It turned out that this young general's name was Lian Feng, the deputy commander of the march, and his father was the general of the Dragon and Tiger Dynasty of Zhao State, holding nearly half of the soldiers and horses of Zhao State, and his official residence was second only to the mighty general Li Mu!

After Lian Feng got up, he saw the pale person in front of him, and said with concern: "Your Highness, your illness seems to have worsened in the past few days of marching."

Hearing Lian Feng say this, His Royal Highness was embarrassed, and said in his heart: "I'm not sick at all, right?" It's just that I want to vomit but can't vomit when I ride in this carriage all the way, and I'm so uncomfortable that I'm going to die."

In fact, the current Highness is no longer himself, but is occupied by the Zhang Yang who came through a few days ago! Thinking of this, Zhang Yang was full of grievances, although he was an orphan in his previous life, he had no money and no power, but at least he had a good job and a girlfriend who loved him very much, and on the third anniversary of his and his girlfriend's love, he had a car accident, and when he woke up, he found himself lying in this carriage. What's even more unfortunate is that Zhang Yang just woke up, but he fell off the carriage again, and not long after waking up like this, he fell into a coma again. When he woke up again, he was really confused, and he was greeted by several people wearing robes and costumes.

When these people saw Zhang Yang wake up, you said, "Your Highness, are you awake?" He said, "Your Highness, are you alright?" "Directly completely stunned Zhang Yang, what is the situation with this Nima?

When everyone saw Zhang Yang's stunned appearance, he shook his head when he asked this, and he shook his head when he asked that, thinking that he had broken his brain. Zhang Yang had no choice but to use this as an excuse, saying that he had broken his head and forgotten everything before, that is, he had lost his memory!

There's no way, where is Zhang Yang now, who are these people, I don't know everything, I can only pretend to have amnesia like this, although this excuse is a bit reluctant, even Zhang Yang himself doesn't believe it, but these people in front of him are all convinced!

In the next few days, Zhang Yang knew through the mouth of the little eunuch named Li Xuan who served him in front of him that he was now the fourth prince of Zhao State, and there were six other countries here in addition to Zhao State. Zhang Yang really can't think of any other dynasties, could it be that there is a deviation in history? I don't think it's certain!

Although he crossed over here and became the prince of a country, his status was noble, and it sounded very good, but suddenly Zhang Yang lost his beloved woman and came to this completely unfamiliar place, these days have passed, Zhang Yang still can't accept it, and he is very depressed!

Now, following the army, riding in a carriage, bumpy for a few days, came to this uninhabited, mountainous place, to meet the princess of Yan Kingdom, Zhang Yang heard the little eunuch Li Xuan say at first to welcome the princess of Yan Kingdom, and thought that he was taking this princess back to get married, but later he realized that it was not, he thought too much!

For a long time, the northern nomadic tribe Xiongnu frequently invaded the land of Yan, burned, killed and looted, Yan and Xiongnu fought all year round, and the two sides won and lost each other. But in recent years, the Yan State has been defeated repeatedly, it turns out that since the new leader of the Xiongnu, King Zuoxian, came to the throne, unified the whole tribe, vigorously developed the military strength, and made great efforts. After occupying the towns of Yan Kingdom, it is no longer necessary to run away after grabbing the population and livestock as before, but to learn from the Seven Kingdoms to govern the city, and to occupy the latter and manage it. This also makes the land of Yan Kingdom lost again and again! Especially a few months ago, in a big battle between the two sides, King Zuo Xian personally led the army to defeat the Yan army, causing about 120,000 casualties among the soldiers of the Yan State. The national strength of Yan State was greatly injured, and it was no longer possible to organize a large-scale army to resist the Xiongnu in a few years, so this time the princess of Yan State went to Zhao State and married a certain prince of Zhao State, and the main purpose of Yan State was to make friends with Zhao State, so that Zhao State could send troops to help them resist the Xiongnu, so that Yan State could have time to recuperate!

Now that it has lasted more than a month, they have finally arrived at the place where Yan and Zhao agreed in advance to welcome the princess of Yan Kingdom!

Zhang Yang, no, now it should be called Zhao Kuo, the fourth prince of Zhao State, right, after hearing General Lian Feng's announcement, he said: "General Lian Feng, since you have arrived at the place, then you should tell everyone to wait here."

"No"

Then he ordered several generals to give orders and wait in line for the arrival of Yan Guo's escort of the princess!

Zhao Kuo walked around, Lian Feng and the little eunuch Li Xuan followed behind him, originally wanting to see the beautiful scenery, but after turning around for a while, he couldn't help but complain in his heart: The emperors of the two countries really know how to choose a place, and they actually chose to have a meeting between the two armies in this deep mountain and old forest! He couldn't help but ask: "General Lian Feng, why do you have to choose to be here when you say that you want to welcome the princess of Yan Kingdom?" The mountains are steep here, and Liao is uninhabited."

After hearing this, Lian Feng's expression changed on his face, and he bent down and said: "Four princes, at the beginning, the place where our emperor and the emperor of Yan agreed that the two armies would meet was not here, but about three hundred miles away from Yanyun City of my Zhao country, but for some reason, half a month ago, an envoy from Yan came to find us, claiming that it was inconvenient to lead the army into our country, so we asked to change the location to Tianmang Mountain on the border between the two countries, and presented an edict stamped with the seal of the emperor of Yan, at that time, it was still the four princes You met and agreed, have you forgotten?"

"I see, I really can't remember anything now, I've forgotten a lot of things, and I feel like I'm exactly the same as the two people I used to be, alas," he said, showing a heartbroken expression. It's really not blushing to tell lies, there's no way, you can't just say that your original four princes have ascended to heaven, and the soul of the current four princes has been replaced by me, right?

"The last general is guilty, and he failed to protect the four princes, and when he goes back to meet my emperor, the last general will be guilty!" Lian Feng knelt on the ground, clasped his hands into fists and said as he confessed his guilt.

This sudden kneeling made Zhao Kuo a little stunned, this soul crossing has been a few days, but Zhang Yang still hasn't adapted to these people's habit of kneeling down to him at every turn! Busy and helped Lian Feng up: "General Lian Feng, how can I blame you, I accidentally fell off the carriage myself, and it has nothing to do with you"

In order to divert this topic, Zhao Kuo casually asked, "How long will it take for them to get here?" ”

"According to the scout's report, within half a day, the team of Yan Kingdom escorting their princess should be able to reach here."

After Zhao Kuo heard this, he nodded, and then looked around again, and after being familiar with the surrounding terrain, he felt a little uneasy in his heart. It was surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the position where they were now was in the open space in the middle of the mountain, and there were roads in front and behind, but they were not spacious, and if the enemy sent troops on the surrounding hillsides, and just dropped arrows from high up, then they would have finished the game; Or someone blocks their way back, catch them in an urn, and still finish the game!

Today's Zhao Kuo doesn't know if he is simply thinking too much, or because he has read too much in history because of the terrain in his previous life, he won more with less and wiped out the opponent's battles, anyway, after seeing the terrain here, Zhao Kuo has a feeling that he is going to be ambushed, surrounded, and then annihilated by others!

So Zhao Kuo told Lian Feng about his thoughts, and wanted to hear what he had to say, although Lian Feng was not very old, he was a young general, and he should have some ability to put aside his family background, otherwise he should not have at least mixed up with his current position at a young age, and it should be impossible to completely go through the back door!

What he didn't expect was that after hearing this, Lian Feng's facial expression was full of surprise, as if he was shocked that Zhao Kuo would actually think of so much! After a while, he regained his cold, unsmiling appearance! Then he informed Zhao Kuo of his deployment.

It turned out that Lian Feng had already deployed two thousand soldiers at the intersection where they went back, in case the Yan State was deceived this time and launched a surprise attack on them, they would not have no way to retreat, as for the surrounding mountains, Lian Feng also sent scouts to inspect it, and found that there was no abnormality! Now after hearing Zhao Kuo say this, he sent two thousand archers to ambush on the mountains on both sides of the road back, just in case!

Zhao Kuo saw that Lian Feng had already made arrangements, and the uneasiness in his heart was reduced a lot, and he prayed in his heart that the princess of Yan Kingdom would come quickly, and then pick her up and immediately rush back, he didn't want to just come to this world for a few days, and he was not familiar with anything, so he hiccups again!

While waiting, Zhao Kuo asked the little eunuch Li Xuan to take out the bronze mirror and look at his appearance, in the mirror was a completely unfamiliar face, although the appearance was quite handsome, but it was still a little hard to believe for a while.

About two hours later, a scout rode a horse to report that the princess of Yan Kingdom was about to arrive!
