Five thousand soldiers suddenly appeared, which made Qin Chong and Yang Xiu's hearts tremble, Yang Xiu, who was the captain, although he rarely went to the military camp, knew the strength of Zhuojun well. Zhao Yi suddenly brought back 5,000 cavalry, which made Yang Xiu and the others have an indescribable sense of crisis in their hearts.

Zhao Yi couldn't say anything about the Wuhuan tribe, and when he heard Yang Xiu's question, his expression was natural, "This is the reinforcement of Shanggu County." ”

Xianbei Kebi Nengbu recuperated, and Shanggu County Shou expected that the border would be peaceful in a year or two, so he let Tai Shici lead his troops back. "Shanggu County Shouzhen is a loyal and righteous person, he just lent land a few months ago, and now he supports the elite soldiers." Yang Xiu sighed, fighting with Xianbei soldiers all year round, the soldiers of Shanggu County naturally have such combat power, and the doubts in his heart have been eliminated.

Qin Zhongxin's intelligence is far from being comparable to Yang Xiu, although what Zhao Yi said is good, but he ignores a very important question, it is only a day since the Qin mission passed the decree, where did Shanggu County get the news to help Zhao Yi? Seeing Zhao Yi's determined eyes, Qin Chong didn't ask this question again. Zhao Yi clearly had the intention to conceal it, so what was the use of saying this?

Zhao Yi is the county guard of Zhuo County, and it is not a violation by the imperial court, and Qin Chongke, who is a county official, has no right to interrogate Zhao Yi. He guessed that this was Zhao Yi's private soldiers secretly trained outside, but he didn't expect that these fierce soldiers in front of him turned out to be the Wuhuan cavalry that Qin Chong hated.

The matter of the cavalry can be regarded as Zhao Yi gave a very lame explanation, but when Yang Xiu glanced at Zhao Yi with cold eyebrows, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed at Wen Qin and turned his head to ask Zhao Yi incredulously, "Lord County Guard, what's the matter with her?" "As a general, what qualifications does Wen Qin have to become a general of the unified army. Yang Xiu, who was the captain, was not appointed as a pioneer, which had already made Yang Xiu very angry, and when he saw Wen Qin at this time, this resentment finally found an outlet.

"General Wen Qin is the commander of our cavalry at this time." Zhao Yi's answer can be regarded as an explanation of Wen Qin's status. It is not Wen Qin who commands the Wuhuan cavalry, and it is expected that these Wuhuan soldiers will not be convinced, even if they are ordered to Batu will not escape, but under the leadership of the other people, these soldiers will inevitably be afraid and difficult to exert their original combat strength.

"She's a black general!" Yang Xiuyu said a word unwillingly, and he almost said that if he was not of my race, his heart would be different.

Qin Chong secretly said that Yang Xiu did not understand the way of officialdom, no matter what Wen Qin's original identity was, but since Zhao Yi said it himself, Wen Qin was the commander of the cavalry at this time, which was equivalent to giving Wen Qin a proper name, everything in the past had disappeared after Zhao Yi said this, but Yang Xiu exposed Wen Qin's shortcomings in person, which was not only Wen Qin's face, but also Zhao Yi's. Qin Chong shook his head secretly, the people in the officialdom pay attention to observing words and feelings, Yang Xiu has no scheming city government, if it weren't for the strong backstage of the ten permanent servants in the court, in this officialdom where people kill people without seeing blood, I am afraid that there would be no scum left.

These words really made Zhao Yi raise his eyebrows, "Du Lieutenant, this official chooses to value ability, if you have the ability, you can win the position of general from Wen Qin." "This is still Zhao Yi giving face to the ten permanent servants, if it weren't for Yang Xiu having such a backstage, Zhao Yi might not even bother to speak, and directly let the soldiers escort Yang Xiu down. Zhao Yi is a general of the imperial court, and he has the power to control the army, and Yang Xiu, who is the captain, is naturally among them.

Zhao Yi did not call his name directly, but shouted out his official position, which was clearly to remind Yang Xiu that you are just a lieutenant and have no right to interfere with the decisions made by your own county guard. Yang Xiu's face became extremely ugly when he heard this, the last time Wen Qin shot an arrow on his head, the golden crown of hair made Yang Xiu's heart frightened, he was not good at fists and feet, and he was definitely not Wen Qin's opponent in terms of riding and shooting, how could he be better than Wen Qin's ability. The results of the competition can be imagined, Yang Xiu didn't go up to embarrass anyone, but just glanced at Wen Qin hatefully, snorted coldly and drove the horse down.

Yang Xiu's episode did not affect the departure time of the army, and when Zhao Yi led the army to leave, he explained the two sentences of Gao Shun who defended the city.

"Rest assured, my lord, the end will definitely live up to the trust." Gao Shun nodded in response. stared at Zhao Yi with burning eyes and left here.

Sensing that someone was spying on him, Gao Shun turned his head slightly and made eye contact with Qin Chong, and then staggered, and without saying hello, he led the rest of the soldiers back to the Zhuojun camp.

Qin Zhong looked at Zhao Yi's department, which had turned into a long black dragon in the distance, and then looked at the back of Gao Shun marching across the horse, and left here with a light stroke of his beard.

Zhao Yi and his entourage of more than 30,000 people marched southward, although Zhao Yi's secret recipe has been sent to Sizhou, but there are many people who are not sick in the villages along the way, and the rotting corpses can be seen everywhere, Zhao Yi did not turn a blind eye, but let the corpses be incinerate.

In this way, it was quite a costly journey, Zhao Yi handed over the army to the command of Tai Shici, and he led tens of thousands of elite cavalry to continue to march south.

Zhao Yi is very famous in Youzhou and Jizhou, and he is quite popular with the people. As soon as the news of Zhao Yi's appointment as General Dangkou came out, the people said that war was not far away. The little-known Zhang Niujiao and Chu Yan could not be Zhao Yi's opponents.

At this time, Liu Bei, who was hiding in the countryside because of the whipping of the post superintendent, abandoned the official and fled, also got the news. I was envious of Zhao Yi's chances, half a year ago, I was only a line away from Zhao Yi, I was the county lieutenant, and Zhao Yi was the commander of Fanyang County, but in just half a year, Zhao Yi jumped from the county order to the county guard of Zhuo County, and at this time he was appointed by the imperial court as the general of Dangkou, and became a general like Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, and Lu Zhi, which can be described as infinitely beautiful. But Liu Bei didn't feel good in his heart, he and Zhao Yi debuted at about the same time, but he reached this step.

Zhang Fei drank and drank without saying a word, since the escape from Anxi County, the three of them have traveled to many places, and the dull days have made Zhang Fei, who likes to fight, very uncomfortable.

Guan Yu stroked his long hair and thought a little, he knew Liu Bei better than Zhang Fei, and under Liu Bei's charitable face, he hid an ambition that was unwilling to be lonely. Escaping from Anxi County was not Liu Bei's wish, and the Montenegrin army was rampant at this time, which was another opportunity for Liu Bei to build a career.

As long as there is a chance, Liu Bei hopes that he can take a step forward, and he groaned for a while and said what he thought in his heart, "Second brother, third brother, I want to vote for Zhao Yi, what do you think?" ”

The situation in the Central Plains is turbulent, there are smoke everywhere, and robbers are numerous, but there are only two of them at this time, one is the Black Mountain Army, and the other is the Qiang soldiers and horses of Xiliang. Xiliang was too far away from here, and the three of them walked over, but they were afraid that it would take a month, and one month was enough time for many things to happen. In this month, the imperial army may defeat Beigong Boyu, or it may be defeated by Beigong Boyu, everything is full of unpredictability, but the Montenegrin army is different, because Jizhou Mu Zhu Jun was ordered to conquer Beigong Boyu, Jizhou has no general to organize resistance, but the state officials are still self-aware, knowing that they do not have the talent of a general, so they did not organize troops to fight a decisive battle with the Montenegrin army, but ordered someone to quickly report the matter to the imperial court, and at the same time ordered the counties to hold out.

At this time, Zhao Yi was the general of Dangkou, and if Liu Bei wanted to make a contribution, he could only invest in Zhao Yi's account. Hearing Liu Bei's words, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both agreed with Liu Bei's words, in the eyes of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, they and Zhao Yi had known each other for a long time, and they knew a lot about his personality and style, and it was better to deal with Zhao Yi than with Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun.

The three brothers just took a shot, packed their bags at the moment, and ran across the horse to the direction of Youzhou, inevitably missing Zhao Yi, and the three Liu Bei brothers took the official road.

Zhao Yi led nearly 10,000 elite horsemen to set off first, and in just three days, they had already arrived in Puyin County, Zhongshan County, Jizhou.

Entering Jizhou, Zhao Yi and others could know from the mouths of the people how great the influence of the Montenegrin Army was. The Montenegrin Army is divided into several units, with different areas of operation. As long as they are active in the vicinity of the Taihang Mountains and have a close relationship with the bandits in the mountains, they are entangled with the officials and troops by virtue of the high mountains and dense forests in the Taihang Mountains, and the ravines and ravines. The looting of the surrounding villages has caused the people to live in poverty.

Zhao Yi secretly said that Zhang Niujiao and Chu Yan were much smarter than Zhang Jiao, and knew how to use the terrain to entangle with the officials and soldiers. Fighting guerrillas in Taihang Mountain, Zhao Yi felt a little headache.

Wen Qin drove his horse to Zhao Yi's side and looked at the towering city tower in front of him, "The continuous running makes the war horse very tired, why don't we set up camp here today and hurry tomorrow." ”

As a successful general, he naturally knows how to be sympathetic to his subordinates, Zhao Yi nodded and ordered the soldiers to camp outside Puyin County.

The county order learned that Zhao Yi's army arrived and led the county officials to personally go out of the city to greet him, and when Zhao Yi escorted Zhou Ping's caravan to Changshan County, he had a relationship with this county order. At that time, the two sides had the same official positions, and although the county order was very polite to Zhao Yi, it was not groveling like now.

Zhao Yi said some things with the county order, and went straight to inquire about the situation of the Montenegrin army, and there must be a difference between what the court reported and what he saw with his own eyes.

Zhongshan County is at the junction with Taihang Mountain, and naturally there are also Montenegrin army activities. "My lord, the county seat of the humble post is deep inland, and the Montenegrin army has not made trouble, but this is the two counties of Guangchang and Lingqiu, two hundred miles to the northwest, many villages have been looted by the rampant Montenegrin thieves, and the county has been attacked no less than three times, if it were not for the desperate resistance of the defenders, I am afraid that these two counties would have already fallen into the hands of the Montenegrin army." The county commander said with a bitter face, it's not that the county commander doesn't want to support, but the county commander has limited troops and can't support.

The Montenegrin army is entrenched in the Taihang Mountains, and even if they rush in, even excellent Wuhuan soldiers may not have an absolute chance of winning. The main force of Zhao Yizhuo County has not yet arrived, and there are only these elite cavalry in their hands, and the infantry has more advantages than the cavalry in the deep mountains and old forests.

However, Zhao Yi wanted to meet these Montenegrin troops, and asked the county order, "How many Montenegrin troops are there?" ”

The Montenegrin Army, which rebelled by this plague, developed extremely rapidly, and there were already 160,000 people at this time, and this number was still increasing, and the Montenegrin Army operating in Guangchang and Lingqiu counties was 10,000.

Zhao Yi, who learned the number of rebels, was not panicked, but showed joy: "The Montenegrin army will be defeated." ”

The county magistrate, Wen Qin, Tai Shici and others were slightly surprised when they heard Zhao Yi's confident words, and they didn't know where Zhao Yi's confidence came from.
