On 25 August, Zhao Hongrun appointed Deng Peng, the middle guard battalion of the Fencheng Army, as the garrison general of Gongxian County, and left the second battalion of the Yanling Army, and appointed the second general of Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai as Deng Peng's assistant generals, and the three of them led 25,000 soldiers to jointly guard Gongxian County.

After that, Zhao Hongrun led the Xiwei Battalion of the Fencheng Army, the first battalion of the Yanling Army, and the entire Shangshui Army, leading a total of 65,000 troops to Suxian in the northeast.

Originally, the whole army, including Zhao Hongrun, was full of fighting spirit, but he didn't expect an accident to happen on the way.

It was around two o'clock that day, and the Wei army, who was heading to Suxian, suddenly appeared in front of him a river several zhang wide, which made Zhao Hongrun feel puzzled.

"This ...... Could it be the lower reaches of Suixi? ”

Looking at the gentle river, Zhao Hongrun couldn't turn around.

And beside him, Zong Wei Jiao hurriedly took out the marching map, frowned at the map and said, "Your Highness, go further...... I'm afraid it's just a talisma. ”

"How so?"

Zhao Hongrun was taken aback, took the map and glanced at it a few times, comparing it with the map in his memory.

That's right, Su County is in the northeast of Hao County...... Strange, it stands to reason that from Ou County to Su County, you won't pass through this Suixi......

Zhao Hongrun was a little dazed, and in desperation, he could only order the army to rest in place, and at the same time, send the green crows to find out the news.

After two hours, the crows sent out to send back the news that the marching map was incorrectly depicted, and Su County was in the east and south of the county, not the northeast.

I'll go!

Hearing the news, Zhao Hongrun almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the generals under his command who learned about this were also a little stunned.

You know, before they set off, they were holding back their strength to snatch the military merit of conquering Su County from Tian Tan's hands, so they set off early today, but they didn't expect to be pitted by the marching map.

"Your Highness?"

Zong Wei Chang Wei Jiao looked at Zhao Hongrun, who had an ugly face, with some concern.

I saw Zhao Hongrun take a few deep breaths, and then gradually calmed down.

He suddenly realized that he had made a mistake: in such an age when the drawing of maps was not rigorous, it was not possible to take the outline of the map as if it were the truth, because the map of this era only served the function of a general indication of direction.

To use this kind of map as a satellite positioning map is to ask for trouble.

However, this incident also reminded Zhao Hongrun of something, for example, the drawing of a map.

Of course, the mapping mentioned here does not refer to drawing a map of the territory of Wei, but to the whole world, because Zhao Hongrun has a hunch that drawing a map of the whole region of each country may be used in the future.

But then again, in this era of closed inner areas of various countries, the amount of manpower, material resources and time spent to draw an accurate map of the entire territory of each country is probably an astronomical amount.

But no matter what, Zhao Hongrun kept this incident firmly in his heart.

As for the moment, he could only order the whole army to turn around and continue to rush in the right direction to Su County.

On the way to the road, because he was idle, Zhao Hongrun "redrawn" the map of this area on the basis of the original map in his mind.

On that day, the Wei army was unable to reach Suxian before evening due to the wrong direction.

So, Zhao Hongrun had no choice but to order the whole army to stay overnight in the wilderness.

Because there were not enough tents, the Wei army had to cut down trees nearby, chop them into firewood, and light countless bonfires to keep warm.

I have to say that at this moment, the soldiers and horses led by Zhao Hongrun are very close to the place where the Chu army is stationed, and it is estimated that it is only forty or fifty miles away.

Don't think that forty or fifty miles is a very long distance, you must know that in the dark night, as long as you stand at a high place with a good line of sight, the signs of bonfires dozens of miles away are clearly visible, not to mention that like Wei Jun, thousands of bonfires are lit in one breath, I am afraid that only the blind will not be able to see it.

Therefore, lighting a bonfire at night in this situation is actually a very dangerous act, because no one can guarantee that the Chu army will not send troops to attack after noticing the bonfire here.

But there is no way, who let the night at the end of August is already gradually cold, and the cool breeze that blows can already blow people's hands and feet cold.

Considering the possibility that the sergeants and soldiers of the army might be infected with the wind cold, Zhao Hongrun would rather risk the use of a bonfire, after all, in this era, a wind chill is likely to directly bury the entire army.

Don't be careful!

However, in order to be cautious, Zhao Hongrun still ambushed a group of soldiers and horses in case the Chu army came to attack at night.

However, it turned out that he was overthinking, because until dawn, no Chu soldiers took the opportunity to attack the Wei army.

In the early morning of the next day, Wei Jun ate some dry food that he had brought with him, and then continued his journey to Suzhou.

Finally, at the end of the day, the Wei army arrived on the northwest side of Su County.

And the green crows who had already touched the direction of Suzhou and successively guided the direction of the Wei army in the rear sent a not very good news: Tian Tan's Eastern Route Army had already arrived in Suzhou. And judging from the traces outside Suzhou City, it is very likely that the Eastern Route Army had already tried to attack Suxian yesterday.

Zhao Hongrun was depressed in his heart, and he couldn't wait to tear up the marching map.

After all, he wanted to arrive in Su County before Tian Tan, because there was an unwritten rule on the battlefield: whichever army arrived first in a certain city was the prey of that army. Unless this army is overwhelmed and calls for reinforcements, the troops that arrive later are not allowed to attack the enemy city without permission.

Especially between the armies of the two allied countries, this rule is simply an iron law.

For example, at the moment, the Eastern Route Army is one step ahead, which means that unless the Eastern Route Army cannot conquer Suxian, otherwise, the Western Route Army led by Zhao Hongrun is not easy to interfere casually.

It's not that it can't, but that doing so violates morality, is suspected of stealing merit, and is easy to be criticized by others.

As a result, the generals of the Wei Army, who were still full of fighting spirit yesterday, are like eggplants that have been beaten by frost today, and their whole people are wilted.

This is the so-called power nowhere.

"Your Highness, why don't we continue north?"

Zong Wei Zhou Pu suggested on the side.

Because according to the reconnaissance of the green crows, there is not only one Chu army stationed in this area of Suxian, for example, the hilly area further north and the lower reaches of Suixi are respectively equipped with a military camp, which is a character with Suxian and is a horn for each other.

Therefore, although it is no longer the turn of the Wei army in Suxian, the Wei army is not unable to get an inch of credit, and it is still possible to drink soup.

It's just that Zhao Hongrun is not dead.

After thinking about it, he called the two generals of the Yanling Army, Qu Cheng and Wu Ji of the Shang Water Army, and ordered them to rest in place on the northwest side of Su County, while he himself took the Zongwei and Su Wangwei to the south city wall of Su County.

Because according to the report of the green crows, the Western Route Army led by Tian Tan had once again deployed troops outside the city of Suxian, apparently intending to attack the city again.

On the way to the southern suburbs of Su County with Zhao Hongrun's guards, he unexpectedly encountered a Qi army that bypassed from the south.

"Huh?"

Zhao Hongrun immediately reined in his horse and observed the movements of this Qi army.

The Qi army on the opposite side, there are two types of banners in the army, one of them, with the most noble purple of the Qi country as the background color, the outer frame is inlaid with gold edges, and the inside is written in white with a huge Qi character, with a silver wire carved edge.

This is obviously the national flag of the Qi country.

On the other hand, this is a simple white frame on a blue background, with the word Lang evil written in black color inside.

In other words, this Qi army came from Langxie County in Qi State, so it can be called the Langxie Army.

I saw that the evil army of Qi Guolang presented in front of Zhao Hongrun was about 10,000 people, and there were more than ten well cars and two rushing cars in the army.

And when Zhao Hongrun looked at this Qi army, the chief general of this Lang evil army also noticed the team of people holding high the banners of Wei and Su Wang in the distance, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

The main general of the Lang evil army is called Dongguo Pleiades (mao), which is a famous family of Qi and the Dongguo clan of the Lang evil family, and he is in his thirties.

Generals with both civil and military skills are very common in the Qi country, because the Qi country itself is a country that attaches great importance to personal literary cultivation, so even if it is a general who leads troops to fight, his chest and Chinese are by no means bad.

It is no exaggeration to say that the literary literacy of the generals of the Qi State can be called the best among the countries of the Central Plains, and it is far from being comparable to the countries of the Wei State that can become a general by force alone.

"General!"

By Dongguo Yu's side, a guard whispered to remind the former, and pointed to the place where Zhao Hongrun and the others were in the distance.

Wei...... King Su? Hum!

Dongguo Yu secretly snorted coldly, because he was very familiar with the Wang Banner in the distance, and he had seen it on the city tower of Qi County a few days ago, and at that time, the chief general of the Shangshui Army named Wu Ji refused to let their Qi army enter Qi County with this Wang Flag in his hand.

"Hugh must pay attention to it, prepare to attack the city!"

After glancing coldly at Zhao Hongrun and the others in the distance for a while, Dongguo Yu ordered coldly.

However, having said that, he still summoned a personal guard and quickly reported the fact that the Western Route Army had arrived in Suxian County, and quickly reported it to Tian Tan, the commander of their Eastern Route Army.

Hearing this general's order, the Lang evil army, which was about 10,000 in the vicinity, seemed to treat Zhao Hongrun and others as air, and under the command of generals of all levels, they began to attack Suxian one after another.

"Damn! Ignoring His Highness......"

Seeing that the Lang Evil Army in the distance did not say anything, Zong Wei Changwei was really a little angry.

Because it stands to reason that Zhao Hongrun is the commander of the Western Route Army, even if the general of the Lang Evil Army in the distance, Dongguo Pleiades, is not a subordinate of Zhao Hongrun, he should take the initiative to come over to greet him, and he should send a few guards over at the worst, which is a courtesy.

However, the Qi general ignored Zhao Hongrun's party.

In this regard, Zhao Hongrun's reaction was much calmer.

After all, in his opinion, the army of the Qi State will naturally become proud because they have suppressed the Chu State all the year round, not to mention that right now, the Western Route Army and the Eastern Route Army have a conflict because of the incident in Qi County, and it is normal for the other party to choose to ignore it.

But having said that, Zhao Hongrun was still a little unhappy in his heart.

Hum! Let this king see the strength of the victorious Qi army!

Looking at the Qi army in the distance, Zhao Hongrun said coldly secretly. (To be continued.) )
