"Where are we now?" Since Zhao Yong strictly forbade the army to light fires, they couldn't see each other's expressions clearly at all.

"Near Shiyi, I've already asked the scouts to investigate." Li Zhuo looked at Zhao Yong a little nervously, "Your Excellency, you are injured, do you want to stay for a few more days?" ”

To be honest, counting his previous life, Zhao Yong has not suffered as many injuries as he has today. Not only did there be a few abrasions on his chest, but there were also some short sword wounds behind him, which added a bit of embarrassment to Zhao Yongping, who had been pampered for many years.

"The military situation is urgent, and time is running out." Zhao Yong reluctantly stood up. "Resting in the enemy's hinterland, the King of Zhongshan really thinks I'm presumptuous." As he spoke, he took out the map, this is the last time he attacked the house, Lian Wu and they recalibrated the new version along the way, and the credibility is very high, so after starting from the house, he specially asked each of the hundred gold people to draw a picture and take it with him. "We're in Shiyi now, and the fierce battle in the morning may be able to attract the attention of some of the Zhongshan army. It is conceivable that the Shiyi area must be tightly blocked, and maybe it will encounter the chariot phalanx of the Zhongshan Army. ”

"Yes, the scouts have come to report that they have encountered a lot of Zhongshan cavalry from Jingcheng Pass to Shiyi to Luancheng, and it seems that they are afraid that we will attack this area again. In particular, Zhongshan did not know the size of our troops. So there must have been more troops sent. Li Zhuo said worriedly.

"Hehe, it's all about the heartbeat. I'm afraid they won't come out! Zhao Yong said with a sneer, then pointed to the map, "This time, we will go to Luancheng." ”

"Luan Cheng?" Li Zhuo looked at the map, frowned and said, "Isn't it too risky?" Before General Pang came again, he specially explained that if there was no accident, it was best not to venture deep into the hinterland of Zhongshan. In order to prevent being caught in a desperate situation by the enemy from the north and south. ”

"Don't worry, Lian Wu is not a person who doesn't know the severity. He knew that we were alone in the depths, and he would definitely not dare to slack off, and he must be trying to make the other party think that our country was about to attack Zhongshan, and at this time, his southern border would definitely not dare to go north. Otherwise, Lian Wu would have led troops into Zhongshan even if he disobeyed orders. As long as the south does not move, we will not face a north-south attack. Zhao Yong took a bite of corn cake and drank a sip of cold water. Although each person brought three days of dry food, the consumption of food after days of marching far exceeded their imagination.

"However, in this way, if the soldiers from Shiyi, Luancheng and Shenzhou come together to target us, I am afraid we will not be able to parry." Li Zhuo said worriedly. Although he likes to take risks, such a march is simply a joke on himself. In particular, Luancheng is in the middle of Zhongshan's defense, and once there is a difficulty, there will inevitably be a flank attack from the enemy of Shiyi and Shenzhou. When the time comes, I won't be able to run, so let's talk about it for another time.

"I've thought about it." Zhao Yong threw the corn cake into his mouth and said vaguely, "We set off overnight, and it is estimated that we will be able to reach the vicinity of Luancheng before dawn, and then rest again to replenish dry food and drink." The Guangpai scouts focused on the northern and western directions of Luancheng. Zhao Yong pointed to the map and said, "If the team that comes to besiege us is all cavalry, we will fight with them with war preparations, and if there are chariots, we will pass through the gaps in their defenses." Zhao Yong said domineeringly, "The encirclement of the chariot soldiers and cavalry must have gaps due to speed problems, as long as there is a little space, it is enough for us to slip away." Then go around the Jingcheng Pass and enter the mountain from the banks of the Hutuo River. As long as I escape into the mountains, Zhongshan Kingdom will not be able to do anything about it. ”

Li Zhuo was blinded by Zhao Yong's series of plans, he didn't expect that Zhao Yong didn't plan to go to the royal city from the beginning, but to flee after the hinterland of Zhongshan Kingdom was turned upside down. This is not a demonstration, this is a naked provocation! In particular, the Hutuo River is very close to Lingshou, and once the Hutuo River warns Lingshou along the river, Zhongshan will not be able to shake it.

"We've been resting here for a few hours." Zhao Yong stood up and began to pack his bags.

"Two hours."

"It's not too bad, let's go." Zhao Yong said, taking the lead and stepping on the war horse. The soldiers of the Zhao Army, who were resting, watched their commander get on the war horse, their eyes were hazy, and they didn't know what he was going to do.

Zhao Yong urged the horse to walk a few steps, and came to this group of soldiers who followed him to fight bloodily, pulled out his bronze sword, and said sharply: "Listen to my order and set off." So saying, he took the lead and ran into the night.

Li Zhuo and Pang Nuan saw Zhao Yong leaving, and they didn't think about it, so they also stepped on their war horses and followed, and soon, the soldiers realized what had happened. also quickly packed up, stepped on his own war horse and followed.

Generals, wisdom, faith, benevolence, courage and strictness. Intelligent strategy, faith can reward and punish, benevolence can serve the public, courage can be decisive, and strictness can be prestigious. A qualified general should first of all be a loyal practitioner of these five virtues. Zhao Yong is developing in this direction. Because what he let the soldiers see was a general who took the lead. Just like Zhao Yong used to say in his previous life: "If there is a soldier, there will be a nest of bears." I can't let the head of any department be a soft egg. ”

Zhongshan Kingdom, Lingshou City, Xiangbang Mansion.

"A bunch of rubbish! There are so many people, I can't even catch a group of scouts, how can I come back to see me! Sima Xun's hair was open, and his eyes were burning with anger, as if he wanted to devour a group of generals kneeling in front of him.

When he received a report from Wuqiu that a cavalry of the Zhao State had penetrated deep into Zhongshan and constantly harassed the major cities, Sima Cheng did not take it seriously. After all, over the years, the two countries have been in constant confrontation, not to mention that now that Zhao Guo occupies the house city of Zhongshan, it is normal to send more scouts. As long as you can drive it out, forget it.

But unexpectedly, this group of rangers not only set out from Shiyi, tried to cross the river many times in the north, shot and killed all the reinforcements who surrounded them, but also threatened Luan County from Shiyi, and under the siege of the four-way troops of Quanxian, Dongyuan, Song Zi and Ningjia, they jumped out of the encirclement intact, and secretly passed through Ningjia, crossed the Hutuo River, and ran into the deep mountains. Completely toyed with the soldiers of Zhongshan Kingdom.

In Sima Cheng's opinion, the courage of this Zhao general is simply too big. However, from this point of view, the news of a large-scale troop transfer in Fangcheng from the border has also been confirmed, which is just an illusion that Zhao Jun did not dare to go north in order to contain his border soldiers. The Zhao army had no intention of attacking Zhongshan at all!

Sima Xi secretly glanced at his father. Knowing that he was angry, it was useless to persuade him, so he also followed and scolded the four generals kneeling below: "You have chariots and cavalry, why can't you catch up with the other party's cavalry and let the other party slip away?" ”

A general resignedly glanced at Sima Xian, then at Sima Xi, and stammered: "Xiangbang, Gongzi." We were ordered to encircle the Zhao army from four directions. But as far as we know, the Zhao army arrived near Luancheng overnight, and after we received the order, the other party had already finished repairing there, and our army had traveled a long way, and the other party waited for work, so we ....."

Sima Xun and Sima Xi glanced at each other, and they both saw the doubts in each other's eyes, this cavalry actually rushed to Luancheng overnight, which was too bold.

"Is your message accurate? This cavalry, sure enough, arrived overnight? ”

"The Admiral has investigated the matter, and it is indeed here."

"And their archery is not inferior to our own cavalry?"

"It's all over again."

"Are you sure it's Zhao Guoren? Isn't the building annoying? ”

The general hesitated for a while, and said slowly: "Since this group of Zhao troops is completely different from other Zhao troops, in addition to sparing civilians, all soldiers are killed. The chariots and cavalry we sent last time were pursued and killed after retreating. But in Luancheng, they just took some food and water. ”

Sima Yun stroked his beard and said leisurely: "There will be five virtues, wisdom, faith, benevolence, courage, and strictness. This general is not ordinary. ”

"This unit is even more unusual." Sima Xi said calmly, "Ordinary troops, it is rare to have this kind of large-scale night attack, this kind of combat method, is indeed very different; Second, after a fierce battle, you can fight again after a short rest, this kind of spirit is probably not something that ordinary armies can have, but it is similar to Wei Wushu many years ago, except that this is just a cavalry; Third," Sima Xi thought for a while and said, "I heard that Zhao Guo has been carrying out the so-called Restoration recently, if this force is precisely formed by the Restoration, then we must take precautions." Maybe at any point, a cavalry will pass through our defenses and come directly to Lingshou City! ”

"Hmm." Sima Cheng responded lightly, looking at the four generals who were still kneeling at the bottom, he waved his sleeves and said: "You guys go down first, this mistake, I will have my own order to convey it later." ”

"Yes." The four generals resigned themselves and retreated.

"Father, we can't hesitate any longer, at this time, we must unite with Yan Guo and test Zhao Guo." Sima Xi saw that there were no outsiders anymore, and hurriedly said. "Last time, the crown prince offered the policy of uniting the Yan State to balance the Zhao State, but the father did not support or oppose it, which caused the matter to drag on to this day, and there is no conclusion. In this way, it is better to agree with the crown prince's policy. If something can be done, the father has the merit of fixing, if it can't be done, but it hits the crown prince, why not? ”

Sima Xun twisted his beard, and Sima Xi's suggestion kept churning in his mind. I have to say, it is indeed feasible. What's more, in recent times, the crown prince has become more and more wary of himself. It should be that seeing that the king has run out of oil and is about to die, he began to seize power in order to force himself to comply! If this can temporarily alleviate the contradiction between the two families, it will not be a second move.

"In this case, I'd better enter the palace at this moment." Sima Xun said and strode out of the main hall.
