and state, within Taiyuan.

The 30,000 elite soldiers of Hebei led by Chun Yuqiong were like a long snake winding through the hilly area, because of the restrictions of terrain and roads, their cavalry team was very long between the hills, and the heavy and slow baggage vehicles could only walk at the rear, and the pace of the large group of men and horses was hurried by the way of horse-drawn people.

And because the valley at the foot of the mountain has just been washed by the rain, some low-lying roads have become muddy and difficult to walk after being trampled by the large army of horsemen, and the foot soldiers guarding the baggage vehicles have to unload their armor and put their canes, carry firewood and grass, and walk in front on foot, paving the way for the baggage convoys that are carrying heavy loads behind them from time to time.

After crossing the Taihang Mountain, the steep rock wall and the rugged mountain road gradually went away, but the road from Jingcheng to Jinyang was not as smooth and easy to walk as the Hebei Plain of a horse and a flat river, and the hilly area between the mountains and the basin made the Hebei soldiers and horses who galloped to the aid suffer a lot.

Many soldiers at the bottom privately complained about the strictness and unkindness of the lord general Chun Yuqiong's royal majesty, and they looked up at the banner in front of them from time to time, muttering in a low voice, and they didn't know when this kind of day of burying their heads in the road would come to an end.

At the forefront of the army, Chun Yuqiong, the commander of the war horse, was looking down at a simple marching map on horseback at this time, although as the commander of the army, he did not have to trek through the mud like a low-level soldier, but he could gallop to the aid of the state and march for days, which also had a lot of pressure on him to take charge of military affairs.

"The speed of the march must be accelerated, get out of this hill, and arrive in Yuci City today to rest and recuperate!"

Hearing the words of the main general Chun Yuqiong, the generals Lu Xiang and Lu Kuang glanced at each other, they did not have the distress of the low-level soldiers, and hurriedly complimented with a smile:

"The general worked tirelessly, marched for days and days, defeated several enemy troops along the way, now it has passed the well, the army is no longer in danger of being stopped, stay in Yuci City, the army rests and recuperates, and waits for the news that the forward is involved, marches to rescue Jinyang City, inside and outside, the enemy of the three rivers can retreat, and the siege of Jinyang can be solved!"

Chun Yuqiong's vanguard is a Wuhuan cavalry led by the state engaged in recruitment, light and fast, acting as the eyes and ears of the army in front.

Lu Kuang also nodded and said:

"Yes! The city wall of Jinyang City is high and strong, and it is expected that the enemy army of Sanhe will not be able to capture it in a short time, and General Chunyu is the pillar of my Hebei, and he personally led the elite army to help, how can the soldiers of Sanhe resist it, and our army has a solid chance of winning this battle. ”

Chun Yuqiong listened to the compliments of his subordinates, put away the map casually, and explained approvingly while stroking his beard:

"Merging states and land risks is the spine of the world. This is a place where soldiers must fight, Qin and Zhao Warring States, Chu and Han fought each other, and in the past there were soldiers here. As the so-called 'narrow road meets the brave wins', I led the Hebei army through the well, all the way straight to Jinyang, but the enemy army in Sanhe did not dare to block the danger to invite the battle, which shows that its troops under the city, the courage is declining, and I am afraid of my Hebei soldiers. ”

"When we get to Yuci, our army will rest and recuperate. If the enemy general does not know how to retreat, I will take the opportunity to advance with a large army, just like the momentum of a raging wave, the soldiers of the three rivers can resist, and they will definitely flee under the city of Jinyang. ”

"General Mingjian!"

Lu Xiang and Lu Kuang bowed their heads one after another, and it was another beautiful word, which caused the winner to laugh loudly in Chun Yuqiong, proudly rode his horse and whipped, and ordered the whole army to speed up and rush to Yuci City.

···

As the soldiers and horses of Hebei accelerated their speed, a large number of men and horses successfully stepped into the flat basin after passing through the last section of hilly terrain.

Although it has arrived in the hinterland of Taiyuan County, and it is only sixty or seventy miles away from Jinyang City, the townships along the way are empty and uninhabited, and a large area of fields that have not had time for spring plowing are overgrown with weeds and wheat, and a bleak atmosphere that is completely different from the bitter mood on the march permeates the air.

"I heard that in order to besiege the Jinyang guards, the Sanhe soldiers wantonly requisitioned the people in Taiyuan to dig a long trench under the city of Jinyang, and indulged the soldiers to forcibly levy military grain and grass, and also broke through a number of dock forts. The people within a radius of 100 miles were either arrested and sent to the city to work as hard laborers and fill in ravines, or fled to the mountains and forests and fled to the territory of Jizhou. ”

After learning about the atrocities of the Xiliang soldiers from the scout, Lu Xiang was full of anger, and he pointed to the houses and land of rare families along the way, and reprimanded loudly.

"This is simply bestiality, colluding with Hu soldiers, harming Li Shu, the deeds of these Sanhe soldiers are exactly the same as the Xiliang soldiers in the past, that Yan Yan and that Dong Zhuo are both national thieves who have brought disaster to the country and the people, and the shogunate sent troops to conscript, which can be described as a very happy thing!"

Chun Yuqiong's face also became solemn, what he thought of was obviously farther than Lu Xiang, wantonly feeding the enemy and levying civilian service in the enemy's territory, these are common things in the war, the Xiliang soldiers in the past did more heinous things than the Xiliang soldiers today, and there are many more.

But digging a long trench and besieging Jinyang made Chun Yuqiong a little suspicious.

Since the enemy did not dare to invite the battle with the Hebei army, the only wise choice left was to capture Jinyang or lead the army to retreat in advance before his own army arrived.

The plan of excavating the long trench and making a long-term siege is not the main idea of the enemy generals, on the other hand, it may be its real purpose to drive the people of Taiyuan to attack the city, or to coerce them to Sanhe.

Thinking of this, Chun Yuqiong couldn't help but become a little irritable in his heart, he looked around at the surrounding terrain and blurted out:

"Where have you been?"

"General, in front of you is the site of the pre-Qin period, where the three families of Han, Wei and Zhao joined forces to kill Zhibo."

The military officials who acted as guides in the army hurriedly reported, Chun Yuqiong bowed slightly, the siege of Jinyang in the Spring and Autumn Period, the two Han and Wei families who were originally subjugated suddenly made a difficulty, and the Zhao family who was trapped in Jinyang should be united with the outside, and destroyed a monopolistic Zhijia, and then the allusions of the three families divided into Jin, he knew.

However, he did not bother to study the allusions in detail at this time, nor did he rely on the interest of the monuments, but immediately asked:

"What's the situation in Yuci City, is there an enemy army?"

"Scouts have been dispatched, and the enemy forces in the city have withdrawn, leaving an empty city."

Knowing that Yuci City was just an empty city, and confirming his previous conjecture, Chun Yuqiong's restless heart just now calmed down, he smiled and grinned:

"The enemy general is really courageous, this is to coerce the people of Taiyuan to evacuate."

It was expected that the Sanhe soldiers would not dare to meet the invitation to attack, and Chun Yuqiong, who was full of confidence, once again ordered the baggage vehicles in the rear to speed up, and the whole army would be stationed in Yuci City tonight, and on this basis, rest the men and horses, and prepare for the pre-war matters of the march.

It was only as the army approached the platform one after another, and the strikers sent people to report again, and the scouts found dozens of boxes left by the fleeing enemy soldiers on the side of the road nearby, and there seemed to be a strange sound in the boxes.

He then ordered the accompanying Wuhuan cavalry to open the boxes, and found that some of the boxes were empty, and some of the boxes contained birds, and there were too many birds in those boxes, and the dismounted cavalry did not have time to catch them, so they all rose into the air one after another, flew into the air, and flew away after screaming together.

When the generals Lu Xiang and Lu Kuang heard that there was such a strange thing, they imagined that a group of birds were chirping in the air one after another and then scattered and flew away, and they couldn't help but be amazed, and they had also heard some of the strange stories of the land, but during this march, many days had passed, and it was the first time that the army had encountered this kind of thing.

Chun Yuqiong couldn't figure out the reason for this for a while, it is said that witch Zhu was prevalent in the Xiliang army, he didn't believe in this, but there was still a trace of uneasiness in his heart, he hesitated for a while, and finally went against the norm, and ordered all the troops in the army to slow down, adjust the queue, and stay vigilant.

Lu Xiang, Lu Kuang and the others watched Chun Yuqiong give orders in surprise, but seeing Chun Yuqiong's increasingly solemn expression, they didn't dare to ask more for a while, and they could only privately guess in their hearts Chun Yuqiong's thoughts that temporarily changed hexagrams and refused to say in detail.

Could it be that those birds just now were the witchcraft of the Xiliang soldiers, or a signal, and the nearby ambush soldiers were coming?

···

On the back slope of the hill, the ambush of the soldiers of the three rivers.

"General, Yuan Jun is here!"

Several soldiers held the pigeon that flew back in their hands, walked quickly to Cao Yuan, and whispered.

Cao Yuan, who was originally sitting on the ground and pretending to sleep to recuperate, suddenly opened his eyes when he heard the news, a sneer appeared on his mouth, and he quickly stood up.

"Chun Yuqiong is really arrogant and arrogant, and drove directly to Yuci City, this time the enemy army in Hebei is about to fall into the trap we have laid."

Sanhe's intelligence on Hebei has been playing a role, Chun Yuqiong led the troops through the county in Hebei, and the number and movement of the army soon spread to the Cao Yuan camp under Jinyang City.

In the face of the galloping aid of the Hebei army, Cao Yuan was not as panicked as Chun Yuqiong expected, besieging the city and sending reinforcements has always been the strength of the soldiers and horses of Sanhe, and he has begun to plan a new war in an orderly manner.

He sent several small forces in advance to the direction of Jingcheng to test the reality and footsteps of the Hebei army that came to aid the annexed state, and ordered a feint to retreat after a little resistance, and let the Hebei army pass through the dangerous pass and drive all the way to Jinyang.

And Cao Yuan left Meng Tu, Niu Song, Lu Ying, Lu Guang and other generals to lead the troops to continue to besiege Jinyang City, and he led the troops to the Chisei platform in Yuci, and Xu Kun, Zhang Liao, Bao Chu and other generals set up an ambush here, preparing to ambush the Hebei soldiers and horses who rushed in to aid Jinyang.

In order to avoid the eyes and ears of the scouts of the Hebei army, although the soldiers and horses in the ambush circle of the Chiaotai entered in advance, they were not concentrated in one place, and they were also far away from each other and the Yuan army, so it was necessary to rely on timely and fast communication to achieve the effect of launching an ambush at the same time.

And among the birds in those boxes, there are carrier pigeons specially raised in the Three Rivers Army to transmit military information.

Cao Yuan believed that at this time, Xu Kun, Zhang Liao, Bao Zhu and others also received the news delivered by the carrier pigeon, and he did not hesitate to look at the Sanhe soldiers under his command who were waiting for work, his face was solemn, and he gave an order.

"All departments raise flags, blow trumpets, march to meet the incoming enemy, break the enemy and make meritorious contributions, just now!"
