"Childe, this is the map of the mountains and rivers around my Yuntai County and Xue Xilin County for two hundred miles, Childe, please see, this is my Dazhao Yuntai County, this is Hegu County, this is Xilingli, this is Yuntai Pass, this is East Yuntai Mountain, this is West Yuntai Mountain, our army is stationed in the east and west Yuntai Mountain valley, two miles behind it, is Yuntai Guancheng." Uncle Midnight pointed to the map and said to Yihua.

After a slight pause, Uncle Midnight pointed to the other side of the map and said to Yihua: "And this side is the Nanman River Valley of Xilin County of Xue Kingdom, and now, the army of Xue Kingdom is stationed here, one hundred and twenty miles away from Xilin County of Xue Kingdom, and seventy miles away from my Yuntai County. ”

Yi Hua frowned and looked at the map for a long time, and then asked again: "How many troops is the Xue army?" After several seconds passed, and he didn't hear Uncle Midnight answer, Yihua couldn't help but look up at Midnight slightly, but saw Midnight looking at him with puzzled eyes.

Yihua's heart moved, and he hurriedly explained: "After I first recovered from a serious illness, I seem to have forgotten a lot of things, don't blame it in the middle of the night. ”

Listening to Yihua's words, Uncle Midnight's face couldn't help but change slightly, and he said worriedly: "Childe, do you want to ask the medical officer to take a look?" ”

"No need, didn't the medical officer order say it before, I'm healed now, I'm in good health, I saw it in the middle of the night just now, and it's no problem to go into battle and kill the enemy."

Uncle Ziye nodded slightly, and then said: "The Xue army marched west this time to attack my Zhao State, and it was known as an army of 200,000 to the outside world, and the actual soldiers were about 80,000. ”

"Eighty thousand soldiers." Yihua pondered slightly for a moment, and then asked, "What about my Zhao Jun?" ”

"The invasion of the Xue army, the prince did not dare to despise it, poured the strength of the whole country, gathered the five armies, a total of 30,000 soldiers, 80,000 auxiliary soldiers, and at the same time mobilized nearly 100,000 people in 23 counties of Yuntai, Yunzhong, Shanlong, Xiaxi, and Linning to escort grain and grass, and turn over ordnance and materials."

Listening to Midnight's words, Yihua couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise, Xue Jun claimed to be 200,000, and the actual soldiers were about 80,000, and the Zhao army poured all its strength into the country and gathered the five counties, so there were 30,000 soldiers and 80,000 auxiliary soldiers, this, this gap is too big, right?

"Why was Childe surprised?" Seeing Yihua's surprised expression on his face, Midnight couldn't help but ask again.

"No, nothing. By the way, in the middle of the night, tell me about the situation in the following countries on this day, I heard you just say, it seems that there is still a son of heaven, right? ”

"Well, yes, the Son of Heaven is the co-lord of the world, when today's son, mourning the fifth son of the king of Xia, mourning the king for thirty-one years, mourning the king of Xia died in the Shaling hills, the Son of Heaven is located in the Shaling Palace, winter and November are also prosperous in summer, and the Yuan Zhaoxin has been changed for more than seven years now."

"Seven years, seven years of Zhaoxin." Yihua pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Where is the Xingxia Kingdom?" ”

"Between Xue Guo's Anning Yi and Xinyang Guoyang Xiayi."

"I still don't understand what you say, so you better draw it for me, and I'll understand it when I see it."

Midnight paused slightly, and then bowed again and said, "Oh! As he spoke, he took out his sword, sketched it on the ground, and said while drawing: "This is my Zhao country, located in the west, the east is the Xue country, and the north of the Xue country is Xinyang, and the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom, Xingxiayi, is here." ”

"What about the south, the south of Zhao and the south of Xue?"

"To the south of the Xue State of Zhao is the Nanban Ju State, the east of the Xue State is the Chen State, the northeast of the Chen State is Zhongshan and the two countries, the southeast is the Wei State and the Gu Shooting State, and the easternmost country is the Zheng State, and the east of the Zheng State is the Wanli Haitang." Midnight said as he scribbled on the ground with his sword.

Yihua looked down, but saw that among the countries mentioned by Midnight, Ju was the largest, followed by Xue, but Zhao's territory was not big or small, about fifth or sixth, and Xingxiayi, where Xiazi, as the co-lord of the world, was located, but it was just a lonely small city sandwiched between Xue and Xinyang, and there was not even a decent piece of territory!

This situation is like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in Chinese history, when the power of the Son of Heaven fell, and the princes fought for hegemony!

Frowning slightly for a while, Yihua asked again: "Which country is the strongest in the world?" ”

"Xue Guo!" Midnight said without thinking about it, and said, pausing slightly, and then said again in midnight: "In the twenty-third year of King Xia Yin, after the four families of Xue, Chen, Zhongshan, and Xinyang usurped Chen Liguo, Xue State is the overlord of the world, the first power, and now it has dominated the world for more than 70 years, and the princes of the world dare not take its edge, plus the three kingdoms of Chen, Zhongshan, and Xinyang have concluded a century-old blood alliance, and the hegemony of Xue is really difficult to shake!" ”

"Xue Country, Overlord ......" Yi Hua stared at the map sketched on the ground in the middle of the night, his eyes shrank slightly, and after a while, Yi Hua said again: "Outside of Xue Country, which country is the strongest?" ”

"Outside the Xue Kingdom...... "Midnight paused slightly, thought about it, and then said: "Outside the Xue Kingdom, the Southern Barbarian Ju State, the fief is thousands of miles, the most in the world, ten in the world, the Ju State occupies the third, and there are many generals, 100,000 soldiers, at your fingertips, or it can be called the second strongest country in the world, in addition, it is the Zheng State in the east." ”

"Ju State, Zheng Guo ......" Yihua pondered slightly, ten of the world, Ju accounted for one-third, and 100,000 soldiers were also at their fingertips, but they were still inferior to Xue State, it can be seen that Xue State's national strength and strength are really the best in the world!

Zhao is a neighbor of such a powerful enemy country, and it can only be described as unlucky and sad, right? And what is even more unfortunate and tragic is that he was reborn in such an unlucky and sad country, and it is also the family of the Zhao State after the destruction of the Zhao State by the Xue State, which must be eliminated quickly!

If it weren't for the identity of the prince and prince of Zhao State, Yihua really wanted to flee overnight, the farther away the better, not caring about the disputes of the countries, the princes fighting for hegemony, even if the Zhao State was destroyed by the Xue State, at most he would have changed his identity and nationality, how should he live his life!

But precisely because Yihua's current identity is the son of the prince of Zhao and the prince of Zhao, once Zhao is destroyed, Xue Guo will definitely not let Yihua and his cheap father and cheap big brother go! The king of the dead country in history has never had a good end!

However, in the face of such a powerful enemy country, and the two sides are still at war, how to end the war between Xue and Zhao, and still allow Zhao to remain intact and independent, and resolve the danger of Zhao's annihilation, is the most urgent thing Yihua needs to consider at present!

For a while, Yihua's mind was like a high-speed computer, and one thought after another, scene after scene, flashed in Yihua's mind from time to time.

Thirty-six strategies, Sun Tzu's Art of War, joint vertical and horizontal, Chu and Han hegemony, north-south confrontation, Song, Liao, Song and Jin confrontation, 5,000 years of Chinese history is like a movie, constantly flashing in Yihua's mind, and the books, TV and movies he has seen in the past appear in Yihua's mind.

Suddenly, Yihua seemed to have suddenly opened his mind, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly thought of a way, since the current situation in the world is similar to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in 5,000 years of Chinese history, then the set of strategies in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period must also be suitable for the current situation.

Thinking of this, Yihua's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he looked up at Midnight and said, "Midnight, how many days does it take to go to Ju Kingdom?" ”

"Childe is going to Ju country?" Midnight's face changed suddenly, and he asked in surprise.

"That's right, the crisis of Zhao Guo can only be solved if it is not for United Ju and Zheng Zhuguo." Ehua nodded affirmatively.

Hearing Yihua say this in the middle of the night, Fang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, just now he thought that Gongzi wanted to escape from Ju Kingdom. After a slight sigh, he said again in the middle of the night: "I will go to Wu'anyi, the capital of Ju State, for more than 1,300 miles, hurry up, and I will arrive in ten days!" ”

"Ten days, ten days? So long? Yihua's eyes widened in surprise and said, "Isn't there a Maxima that travels thousands of miles a day?" ”

"Childe, a thousand miles of horses are hard to find, and there is no such good horse in my Great Zhao Army! And the road is dangerous, and there are heavy guards of the Xue army along the way, and the road of my Zhao army to the east was all blocked by the Xue army, and if it can reach Wu'anyi safely on the tenth day, it is already a blessing. ”

Yihua's eyes widened in astonishment, and after a few seconds, he asked again, "What about Zheng Guo?" Zheng Guo, a big country in the East, how many days does it take to go? ”

"Zheng Guoyanggao is also thousands of miles away according to this, and along the way you need to pass through Xue, Chen, Wei, Zhongshan and other countries, these countries are all allies of Xue, the road is more difficult than Ju, if you want to reach Zheng Guoyanggao safely, you dare not speak in the middle of the night."

Listening to Uncle Midnight's words, Yihua's eyes lit up suddenly, and even Uncle Midnight didn't dare to say anything, thinking that it was impossible to go to Zheng Guo, so wouldn't others think the same way? If you do the opposite, wouldn't it be much easier to go to Zheng than to Ju?

Thinking of this, Yihua whispered to Midnight again: "Midnight, you go and prepare, let's leave tonight!" ”

"Where is Childe going? How many followers are needed? There are only 100 light horsemen under the command of the last general! ”

Yihua chuckled and pointed at Midnight, then at himself, and said: "Midnight and I, the two of us are enough, and if there are too many people, it is easy to startle the snake, so that Xue Jun will notice!" ”

Midnight was stunned for a moment, and then he whispered again: "Childe, do you want to tell the prince?" ”

Yihua pondered slightly, this matter is confidential, if Xue Jun planted a spy in the Zhao army and was known by Xue Jun, then it would not be so easy for him to reach Zheng Guo safely and smoothly! Thinking like this, Yi Hua shook his head lightly again and said, "Monarch's father has not recovered from his serious injury, so don't tell your monarch for the time being, so as not to worry your monarch!" ”
