Zong Ai's combination punch came too suddenly, and Zhao Junsheng was a little caught off guard.

In fact, Zhao Junsheng had already come back to his senses at this time, Zong Ai took this step is actually an omen, what is Zhao Junsheng, the general of the Eastern Expedition and the military governor of Youliao, doing? It is through Liaodong.

Dongfang Chen saw that Zhao Junsheng was still pondering, and arched his hand and said: "General, the edict allows you to send troops to attack Yan State, there should be no specific date for sending troops, although there are supervising troops to come to the town, but when to send troops is not up to you?" War, you are the main general, you can fight if you want, stop when you want! ”

"However, my subordinates think that this battle is better for the general to simply fight seriously and capture the Yan Kingdom as soon as possible!"

Zhao Junsheng frowned: "Sir, if I take the Yan Kingdom in one fell swoop, will Zong Ai allow me to be the king and hegemon in the vast land?" I'm afraid that if I take the Yan Kingdom with my front foot, Zong Ai's back foot will issue an edict in the name of the emperor to transfer me from Youzhou. Why bother? ”

Dongfang Chen smiled, got up and walked to the map, stretched out his hand and clicked on the two locations, "General, please see where these two places are?" ”

Zhao Junsheng looked at the two positions, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a smile appeared on his face: "Mr. is a good move, very wonderful!" ”

Four days later, Jia Zhouzhen came to Youzhou with the edict, accompanied by more than a dozen eunuchs and a building of 300 Yulin troops, these people as his guards, they are really very powerful.

Zhao Junsheng smiled and stayed as the officials went up to him and hugged his fists: "Brother Jia, it's too hard for you to come here from such a big distance, please go to the city to rest and rest!" ”

Jia Zhou got out of the carriage with a straight face, took the edict from the hand of a eunuch next to him, opened it and read it.

Zhao Junsheng had no choice but to take the officials to bow down and listen to the edict, and the content of the edict was about the same as the news from the inside, and there was not much difference.

After Jia Zhou finished reading, he closed the edict and handed it to Zhao Junsheng: "General Zhao, take the order!" ”

"The minister takes the order!" Zhao Junsheng received the holy decree and stood up with all the officials.

Jia Zhou said: "General Zhao, what the prince of Zong means is to let the general send troops within ten days, take advantage of the warm weather to speed up the march, and kill under the dragon city in one go and break into the city!" ”

Zhao Junsheng shook his head and said: "The time is too hasty, and the imperial court has not let General Ben prepare in advance, how can we prepare for the departure of the army in just ten days?" ”

Jia Zhou suddenly straightened his face and said: "General Zhao, this is what Zong Wang Ye means, what Zong Wang Ye means is His Majesty's meaning, is it possible that the general wants to resist the decree?" ”

Zhao Junsheng was a little angry, as soon as the dead eunuch came, he put on a businesslike appearance, turned his face and didn't recognize people, and if he was a little unsatisfied, he used the emperor to oppress people, and he was also angry: "Have you ever fought?" Did Zongai ever fight? Did the emperor ever fight? Have you ever led a soldier? If the imperial court wants to fight, it must give General Ben time to prepare, right? Do you know how much dry food you have to prepare for 10,000 troops? Every soldier must carry at least two months' worth of dry rations before they set out, do you know how much time it takes to make a soldier's dry rations? How much manpower does it take to make dry food for 10,000 people for two months? And that's not even counting the time it takes to mobilize food, grass and ordnance! ”

Jia Zhou was stunned by the question, he didn't know how to answer, his gloomy face turned purple, and he argued forcefully: "Why do you need to make two months of dry food at a time? Wouldn't it be better to let the soldiers carry dry food for ten days or so first? The follow-up grain and grass will be escorted over by the baggage battalion in batches, so much more convenient, right? ”

Zhao Junsheng took a deep breath, forcibly held back his anger and cursed, and waved his chin at Cao Jiao: "Cao Jiao, you tell this Lord of the Prison Army, why do you want the soldiers to carry two months' dry food, why can't you bring ten days of dry food first!" ”

Cao Jiao hugged his fists and said to Jia Zhou: "It's been more than a month since the beginning of spring, and the rainy season will come soon, when the march is muddy, the marching speed of the army will definitely slow down a lot, once it is sluggish in place due to heavy rain and can't advance, ten days of dry food is not enough to eat, and all kinds of losses must be considered!" ”

"Also, if the men are asked to make a fire every day, a lot of time will be wasted in the morning and evening, and even the soldiers will not be allowed to eat long after dark, and the march in a day will not be able to walk much distance at all, because in addition to the march, you also have to spare time for lunch break, camping, and camping, how much time do you calculate for the march? Originally, it only took a month of marching to reach the destination, but with your method, it will take two months, lose a month's food and grass in vain, delay a month, and more importantly, give the enemy enough time to prepare for battle! ”

Jia Zhou was speechless, he really didn't expect that just one march could solve so many problems, it seems that commanding troops to fight is really a very esoteric knowledge.

Jia Zhou's arrogance was suppressed, and he had to put down his posture and ask, "How long does the general think it will take to prepare?" ”

Zhao Junsheng stretched out two fingers: "It will take at least twenty days!" ”

Jia Zhou gritted his teeth: "Okay, our family will go to the prince of the Book Sect, ask for a forbearance period of half a month, and we must set off within twenty-five days, otherwise not only will the general not be able to eat and walk around, but our family will not be able to leave well!" ”

Zhao Junsheng turned around and waved to the accompanying officials: "Go back to the city!" ”

After entering the city, Jia Zhou caught up with Zhao Junsheng in a carriage and asked Zhao Junsheng loudly: "General Zhao, our family should have a separate office as the supervisor of this Eastern Crusade, and ask the general to send someone to vacate an official office for our family as our family's office!" ”

Zhao Junsheng turned his head and said, "This is as it should be!" ”

After speaking, he instructed Pei Jin: "Master Pei, you send someone to find a house for Jia Jianjun to use as his office!" ”

"Yes, General!

When they arrived at the gate of the Assassin's Mansion, Zhao Junsheng and the others dismounted and walked towards the mansion, Pei Jin said to Jia Zhou: "Prison Army, your official office is in another place, please come with the lower officials!" ”

Jia Zhou was about to leave, Zhao Junsheng suddenly stopped and turned his head and shouted to Jia Zhou: "General Jia, I have my own law in Youzhou, General Ben reminds you, it is best to restrain these people you have brought with you, if they violate the laws and regulations of Youzhou, General Ben will not recognize them!" ”

"Hmph, scare whom!" Jia Zhou scolded in his heart and followed Pei Jin away.

Pei Jin took Jia Zhou and the others around the corner, and walked for about two moments before arriving at the destination.

"Prison Army, this is your Prison Mansion, due to the rush of time, you can only rent such a house, although it is not big, and it is not atmospheric enough, but you can have a place to live, please make do with the Prison Army to live first, and then change it for you when the Assassin Mansion finds a big house, the lower official still has something to do, go first, and say goodbye!"

Pei Jin said to leave, and did not stop for a moment, and there was no chance for Jia Zhou to speak.

When Jia walked into the house, the floor was covered with dust, benches, tables and tattered furniture were lying on the floor, cobwebs were everywhere in the corners, roofs and windows, and a strong musty smell emanated from the air.

When Jia Zhou saw this situation, he jumped to his feet and scolded: "Zhao Junsheng deceived people too much, he actually let our family live in this kind of house, and I don't know how many years no one has lived in it!" ”

A little eunuch walked into the inner room and suddenly exclaimed, "Mouse, there are rats······"

"Ah, there are cockroaches, and spiders······" Someone else shouted.

A eunuch cried and shouted, "Prison army, how can you live in such a place?" Zhao Junsheng is too much, he is clearly trying to give you an ugly look! ”

Another eunuch suggested: "Prison army, this place really can't live in people, in a small opinion, it is better to go to the guest house, charter the whole inn as the prison army's mansion, food and accommodation are provided by the inn, cleaning also has the shop to do, washing is served by someone, it is much more comfortable than living here!" Besides, if the inn wants us to ask for money, we will directly push it to the Thorn Mansion and let them go to the Thorn Mansion to get the money, and we just eat and drink for nothing! ”

Jia Zhou's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Very good, very good!" Let's go find an inn to stay! ”

Under the leadership of Jia Zhou, the eunuchs and soldiers came out of the dilapidated mansion again, and found a rather spacious inn all the way.

The shopkeeper was originally settling accounts, but when he saw so many soldiers and horses stopped at the door, the leader was obviously a big man, and immediately came out to greet him: "The nobles have come to the small shop, making the small shop flourish!" I wonder what the noble man sent when he came to the shop? ”

At Jia Zhou's signal, a little eunuch stepped forward and said: "Listen up, shopkeeper, this is my family's prison army, my family prison army wants to charter your inn to live for a month, you quickly send away the other guests in the inn and make room for my family supervisor!" ”

"Overseers? What kind of official is this? I've never heard of it! The shopkeeper muttered in his heart, and smiled at Jia Zhou: "Nobleman, the villain thanks the nobleman for trusting the small shop, but these guests who have already lived are frequent customers of the small shop, it is really not good to send them all away, if the noble person wants to live in the small shop, there are still a few vacant rooms in the small shop, I don't know if the noble person needs it?" If necessary, the villain will immediately arrange for the shopkeeper to clean up, and definitely make the noble person live comfortably! ”

The little eunuch scolded with a straight face: "Are you deaf?" My family overseer wants to charter this inn, and you let the original residents leave! ”

"Noble, if you want to charter the inn, you have to book in advance, you have to charter the inn when you come suddenly, and you have to drive away the guests, there is no such rule!"

The little eunuch's face changed, and he said angrily: "Bastard, my family supervisor wants to charter your inn because he can afford you, you don't even know how to lift, believe it or not, we demolished your inn?" ”

Jia Zhou was already impatient, and waved his hand: "What nonsense are you talking to him?" Come on, drive away all the people who live in the rooms, and throw out all their luggage! ”

The shopkeeper's face changed, and he immediately said: "The noble man is slow, the small shop has paid taxes to the Assassin's Mansion, if the government does not have enough reasons to do anything that damages the business of the small shop for no reason, if the nobleman insists on going his own way, the villain can't stop it, so he has to send someone to the Assassin's Mansion to complain!" ”
