Zhao Yong personally led 10,000 iron horsemen to the north, but was not fiercely blocked by Zhongshan State. On the contrary, the army of Zhongshan was defeated by Zhao and had no intention of fighting against Zhao. Zhao Yong looked at the corpses of the fallen soldiers of the Zhongshan Kingdom around him, his heart was full of doubts, and he thought: "How could the combat power of the Zhongshan Kingdom become so fragile and vulnerable. ”

Zhongshan is a country established by foreign races in the land of China, and its people are fierce, able to fight well, and stand among powerful countries without being exterminated. In addition to the successive monarchs of the Zhongshan Kingdom, they took advantage of the gap between the princes of the Central Plains to skillfully mediate between the great powers. The most important thing is that Zhongshan itself is strong in force. Zhongshan Wugong established the Zhongshan Kingdom, and the land was embedded between the three kingdoms of Yan, Zhao and Qi. He has been at war with the Central Plains for a long time, and was once regarded as a major problem for the Central Plains princes, and experienced the fight of the Marquis of Xing and the Marquis of Jin against Xianyu.

Wei Wenhou sent the general Le Yang to command the three armies, fought hard for three years, and destroyed the Zhongshan Kingdom. Later, the Wei State and the surrounding princes fought against each other, and the Duke of Zhongshan Huan restored the country, and after the war with the three kingdoms of Wei, Zhao, and Yan, he finally gained a firm foothold in the cracks. Zhongshan was founded, destroyed, and restored, and to this day. Zhongshan has a territory of 800 miles, 9,000 military vehicles, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers. It is enough to see that the people of Zhongshan are strong and tenacious.

Today, Zhongshan will not have the courage to strategize, and will not be good at lining up to meet the enemy; The soldiers are not good at fighting and do not know how to ride and shoot. In this attack, Zhongshan was even more vulnerable than Zhao Yong imagined. However, when he was deeply trapped in the enemy country, Zhao Yong did not dare to be careless, let alone despise the enemy. The lives of 10,000 iron horsemen are in his hands, and the slightest slack may lead to the annihilation of the entire army.

Fei Yi patted the fallen war horse and came to Zhao Yong, "Did you notice anything?" ”

Zhao Yong nodded, "You also found out." ”

Fei Yi bowed his head and said, "Not only did I find out, but everyone felt that something was wrong. ”

Zhao Yong looked at the corpses of the enemy lying in a pool of blood and asked, "Feiyi, is this the real combat power of Zhongshan Kingdom?" ”

Fei Yi shook his head, "The minister thinks, no." ”

Zhao Yong said suspiciously: "The widow also feels that this is not the most real combat power of Zhongshan Kingdom. ”

Tian Buli also gathered over and said: "Zhongshan Country governs the country with Confucianism, and it is not light!" ”

Li Dui looked at the fruitful results, and also said: "Zhongshan Wang Cuo governed the country with Confucianism, emphasized literati, and despised the actions of strong men, which broke the hearts of the soldiers of Zhongshan Kingdom!" For the sake of the generals, they are greedy for life and afraid of death, and the soldiers are unwilling to defend the country. The riding and archery skills that Zhongshan is proud of have long been slackened and abandoned. This time, we fought against Zhongshan Guo, and the Zhongshan National Iron Cavalry did not play a role. If Zhongshan continues to develop like this, we don't need to send troops to attack. Zhongshan itself will perish. ”

Tian Buli said with a smile: "Zhongshan Kingdom studied the princes of the Central Plains, and it was not good at learning. Zhongshan Wang Cuo didn't know which tendon was wrong, so he gave up his strengths in riding and archery, but chose to learn the shortcomings of the Central Plains. Zhongshan brought about its own destruction, and no one else is to blame. ”

"yes!" Zhao Yong sighed: "Zhongshan Henggong and Zhongshan Chenggong, these two are such heroes. Fight with the princes, and instead of being defeated, they become more and more courageous. When Zhongshan Wang Cuo was young, he was also courageous, strategic, and a hero. Zhongshan Wang Cuo is not afraid of Qi, not afraid of Zhao, and North Poyan. After breaking through the country of Yan, the country of ten thousand vehicles, Zhongshan Wangcuo was proud and complacent, slacked off in government affairs, and was silent in the dream of a great country all day long. What is even more unexpected is that he would choose to govern the country with Confucianism, forget the fundamentals, and self-destruct the Great Wall. ”

Sima Wangzu replied: "As people grow older, their minds will also change subtly. ”

Fei Yi said: "Your Majesty, these people are not the real warriors of Zhongshan Kingdom. We continue to the north, which is the capital of Zhongshan Kingdom. We're going to get bigger and bigger. This time, in the attack on Zhongshan, we were alone in the depths, and there were no reinforcements and logistical supplies. Once Zhongshan reacts, it will definitely dispatch troops to encircle and suppress us. At that point, the situation will be against us. ”

Li Duifu added: "Your Majesty, it is impossible for our troops to penetrate the north and south of Zhongshan Kingdom, nor can we attack the King City of Zhongshan. Chen felt that we had fruitful results this time, and we had tested the heritage of Zhongshan Kingdom. We should take advantage of the situation and accept it when we see it. ”

Tian Buli was also worried that the monarch would face a series of victories, and despised the Zhongshan army, and said: "Your Excellency, the soldiers have already become proud and slack. This phenomenon is not a good phenomenon. The minister believes that in order to avoid our army from falling into danger. We should preserve our vital forces, immediately withdraw from Zhongshan Kingdom, and go to Daijun for rectification. To defeat the Zhongshan Kingdom, we also need to plan carefully and work out a foolproof strategy. ”

Sima Wangzu also said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are right, it will take time to attack Zhongshan. It's time for us to stop. ”

Zhao Yong looked at everyone's calm but frightened cheeks, and said with a smile: "Don't worry." The widow will not be stubborn and self-serving, and he will not feel that Zhongshan is weak and can be bullied. The widow will not think that he will rely on the power of ten thousand iron horsemen to destroy the Zhongshan Kingdom. The widow's attack on Zhongshan was to test the heritage of Zhongshan Kingdom. Now, we have been riding thousands of people in the south of Zhongshan for several days. The news that the southern border of Zhongshan has been broken by us has also reached the Zhongshan Palace. Zhongshan Wang Cuo is not a mediocre and confused person. The king of Zhongshan will definitely send his right-hand men and gather heavy troops to expel us. There is no point in continuing this battle. Anyway, it's time to stop. The order went down, and we headed west, to Daijun. ”

Seeing that the king was not carried away by his achievements, everyone arched their hands and said, "Huh." ”

At the same time that Zhao Jun issued an order to withdraw from Zhongshan and go to Daijun, Zhongshan Wangcuo re-stabilized the situation and sent his right envoy Leju to lead an army of 150,000 to kill Zhao's army. Leju sensed that Zhao Guo was not fighting a decisive battle with Zhongshan State. From the clues on the battlefield, Leju deduced the true intention of Zhao Jun's battle. Leju did not lead the army south, expelled the Zhao army, and regained the lost territory. Rather, he commanded the army to the town house. Leju wants to rush to the house before Zhao Jun, and he will have a chance to intercept Zhao Jun.

Leju looked at the map, and based on the previous combat strength of Zhao State, he deduced that it would take at least ten days for Zhao State's marching speed to reach the house. So, Leju made a decision, decisively left his baggage and infantry army, and led 30,000 iron cavalry to go first. He wants to fight a decisive battle with Zhao under the house city and encircle and annihilate the invading enemy.

If Zhao Guo wants to go to Dai County through Zhongshan Kingdom, the house is the only way.

For a time, the situation changed suddenly. Zhao Yong and Leju are both chasing time. Whoever arrives at the house first wins.

Zhao Yong led the iron cavalry to the west and came to the house. The house keeper is Ji Xin, who is known as one of the eight generals of Zhongshan Kingdom. The Ji clan is a prominent clan in Zhongshan Kingdom, and the Ji clan is also capable of conquest and war. The four major families of Le's, Sima's, Sun's, and Ji's in Zhongshan are all famous generals. The generals of Zhongshan Kingdom are basically from these four families.

After Ji Xin inspected military affairs, he just returned to the mansion. Suddenly, a soldier came to report in a hurry, "General, there is an enemy situation." ”

When Ji Xin heard this, he immediately put on his battle armor, picked up his sword, and rushed to the city tower. Ji Xin climbed to the top of the city, and saw that the enemies under the city were mainly iron horses, and according to the vertical and horizontal arrangement of iron horses, he had already counted the number of people under the city, less than 10,000. Ji Xin saw that the morale of the enemy army was high and the army was neat, and said in his heart: "Since the founding of Zhongshan State, how can there be iron cavalry coming to the city. Where did this iron cavalry come from? ”

Suddenly, with a whoosh, an arrow flew and hit the wooden pillar behind Ji Xin.

One of the soldiers took down the arrow's letter and handed it to Ji Sin.

Ji Xin read the letter and shouted: "Under the city, who leads the troops." ”

Zhao Yong said to Sima Wang: "You go and tell him that the widow is an invincible general." ”

Sima Wangzu was stunned for a moment, how could the monarch proclaim himself an invincible general. At the urging of Zhao Yongdi, Sima Wangzu stepped forward and replied loudly: "Invincible general." ”

Ji Xin was stunned for a while, Zhao Guoneng was a good battlefield general, he had heard of it. Who this invincible general is, he really doesn't know who it is, "Maybe I'm lonely and unheard." I never knew that there was an invincible general in Zhao State. ”

Zhao Yong shouted: "General Ji, I heard that you have managed the army well, and we are here to visit you." ”

Ji Xin looked at the crowd and saw that the speaker had a dragon face and a bird's beak, sideburns, moose, a tall figure, and a heroic spirit, and shouted: "Zhao and Zhongshan have always been friendly, why did you come to attack." ”

Zhao Yong laughed and said: "General Ji, for many years, the Zhongshan State has always bullied the princes of the Central Plains with cavalry. It has never been the iron cavalry of the princes of the Central Plains, and the soldiers are coming to the city! General Ji, how do you feel? ”

Ji Xin shouted: "Let me test the power of Zhao Guo's iron horse." ”

Ji Xin ordered people to open the city gate, led 5,000 cavalry, and rushed to the position of Zhao. Zhao Yong did not show weakness and commanded the iron cavalry to start a war with him. The two sides fought for several rounds, causing damage to each other. Ji Xin tested the power of the iron horse in front of him, and his iron horse had not been on the battlefield for many years, so the riding and shooting were a little wasted. In order to preserve the vitality of the house. Ji Xin ordered the iron cavalry to retreat into the city and not to confront the Zhao army. The iron cavalry of the Zhao army took the opportunity to take the city gate, but was repelled by the arrows of the defenders on the city tower.

In this battle, Zhao finally met a real opponent. Zhao Yong learned that 30,000 iron horsemen from Zhongshan were rushing here, and he had no intention of fighting. Ordered the army to quickly withdraw from Zhongshan and go to Daijun in northern Xinjiang.

When Ji Xin saw the retreat of the Zhao army, he mistakenly thought it was a ploy and did not dare to order a pursuit.

After a while, the defenders saw a thick cloud of dust rising in front of them, and shouted, "There is an enemy." ”

Ji Xin thought that Zhao Guotie rode back and climbed the city tower to inspect the situation. I saw a person in the city shouting: "I am happy, in the name of the king, to encircle and suppress the Zhao army." ”

Ji Xin shouted: "General Leju, long time no see. ”

Le Ju asked, "General Ji, has Zhao Jun ever been here?" ”

Ji Xin said: "I just fought with Zhao Jun. Zhao Jun has already left. ”

"Damn, it's still a step too late." Le Ju choked his head and said, "Which direction did Zhao Jun go?" I led my army to intercept them. ”

Ji Xin said: "Zhao Jun left for half an hour. General Le, you can't catch up. ”

When Le Ju heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "No matter how fast the march of the Zhao Kingdom is, how can it be as fast as my iron cavalry." I'm going to intercept and kill Zhao Jun. ”

Ji Xin wanted to tell him that Zhao Guo was also an iron horseman, but before the words could be spoken, Leju led the troops away.

Daijun Zhao Gu led 100,000 soldiers to camp at the junction of Dai and Zhongshan for several days. Suddenly, there was a crowd of people in Zhongshan Kingdom, shouting and killing. Soon, Zhao Yong and other iron horsemen came from Zhongshan Kingdom.

Zhao Gu greeted him personally, "Your Majesty, you are finally here." ”

Zhao Yong asked: "Zhao Gu, you are not afraid that the widow will not be able to break through the Zhongshan Pass." ”

Zhao Gu said with a smile: "The minister believes that the iron horse will be able to dominate the Zhongshan Kingdom." ”

At this moment, there was a shout of killing in Zhongshan. Zhao Gu saw that Zhongshan was about to chase the army, and stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, leave the rest to the minister." Ministers, will never let the Zhongshan army step into the border of Zhao State half a step. ”

Zhao Yong nodded, looked at the territory of Zhongshan Kingdom, and threatened: "Hu Di Zhongshan, there must be a widow." ”
