Lin Ji could only say that all this had changed so fast that he couldn't resist at all.

But Lin Ji is still the most orthodox soldier, since he has chosen to be loyal to Lin Sixing, the new lord of the imperial capital, then he naturally has to do his best to the end, even if he is sent to fight Zhao Fu.

Lin Ji said to himself in his heart, even if he faced Zhao Fu, he would not show mercy to his subordinates, he would do his best to fight and never let go of water.

This is the glory of the military.

"How's the information coming from the scouts ahead?" Lin Ji asked his lieutenant.

"Report to your lordship, they're heading in the direction of Mustard City!" The lieutenant will inform him of the news he has received.

"Got the map, how long will it take to get from here to Mustard City?" Lin Ji continued to ask.

"It will take about four days for the enemy army, and I'm afraid it will take five days for us." The adjutant thought about it and came to a conclusion.

Zhao Fu and Zheng Yuan brought cavalry this time, and not only that, but there were also a large number of spare war horses, so even if they recruited 40,000 new troops, there would be enough horses to travel.

But Lin Ji is different, although he is now the commander of the Imperial Guard, but this time he only brought out 20,000 Imperial Guards, of course, they are all the elite of the Imperial Guard, otherwise Lin Ji may not have the confidence to dare to fight with Zhao Fu.

However, the imperial guards who came from the imperial capital could not all be cavalry like Zhao Fu and them, of which there were only a few 3,000 cavalry, and the rest were all kinds of foot soldiers, which caused Lin Ji's march to slow down due to the fact that he had to take care of the whole army.

This is a rare advantage in the northwest, because it borders on Beihu, Zhao Fu directly beat the Hu people to give up resistance and directly open the trade route to the grassland, and the biggest advantage on the grassland is all kinds of livestock, as well as war horses.

Zhao Fu was tantamount to directly incorporating Beihu into his own back garden, and it was precisely because of this that the northwest had nearly eighty percent of the war horses of the entire Lanhe Empire, and it was also the area with the largest number of cavalry.

"Then let's hurry." Lin Ji said when he heard this.

"Huh? But we've just arrived in Jiulian City......" The lieutenant general looked dazed, thinking that he had misheard.

"No, we're not resting in Nine Links City today." Lin Ji pointed towards the map, which was a small village and town ninety miles away from Jiulian City, which was located on the line between Jiulian City and Mustard City.

"Let's go, we're in a hurry." Lin Ji did not allow the deputy to continue to question, and ordered in an absolute commanding tone.

As Lin Ji said, he was also in a hurry.

It's just that unlike Zhao Fu's hurry, his purpose is to stop Zhao Fu before Zhao Fu can completely get involved in this matter. Lin Ji wanted Zhao Fu to give up participating in the affairs of the Zhao family in Zhongzhou City, if he could, he naturally didn't want to fight with Zhao Fu, so it was reasonable.

Lin Ji didn't get much information from the imperial capital, and he didn't know the ins and outs of the whole incident at all, so he just regarded it as a normal inheritance turmoil over the inheritance. This is also inseparable from the fact that the two heirs of Zhongzhou City are adding oil and vinegar everywhere.

In the information received by Lin Ji, Zhao Yang was the designated heir of Zhao Xiyuan, the head of the Zhao family, not Zhao Yu or Zhao Qian. Therefore, in his opinion, he was only "enforcing justice" on this trip, which was originally a family matter of the Zhao family, why did every force come over to intervene.

In the plot designed by Zhao Yang, Zhao Yang is the bitter master, originally Zhao Yang's father, as the elder brother of Zhao Xiyuan, the head of the previous Zhao family, should be Zhao Xiyuan's heir, but because Zhao Yu and Zhao Qian designed to frame him, it was said that Zhao Yang's father deliberately colluded with the Tiger Benjun to frame Zhao Xiyuan, the head of the Zhao family, because he was jealous, just to fight for power and seize the throne.

This rumor spread vigorously in Zhongzhou City, not only the people under Zhao Yu were clamoring, but even the people who supported Zhao Qian were secretly very convinced of this rumor, and it was somewhat true. Otherwise, why did Zhao Xiyuan die tragically as soon as he drove the expedition?

As a result, Zhao Yang's father had to be removed from this heir seizure incident for the sake of his own innocence. But Zhao Yang couldn't see those villains slandering his father, and the Zhao family couldn't fall into the hands of such villains, so he bravely stepped forward, in order to return his father's innocence and the Zhao family's stability.

The story is well told, and even very satisfying, after all, the brother is the last brother, Zhao Xiyuan died suddenly, and Zhao Yang's father, as Zhao Xiyuan's own brother, became the temporary head of the family at such a critical moment.

Many people who don't know the truth will inevitably favor Zhao Yang after listening to Zhao Yang's words, and the same is true for Lin Ji. He didn't understand why Zhao Fu wanted to help Zhao Qian, was it just because Zhao Qian was Zhao Fu's new student?

Lin Ji even had a faint idea of cleaning up the portal for Zhao Fu.

It's just that if Zhao Fu knew the truth, he would definitely smack his lips, and Dao Zhao Yang's story is really good. If he still wants the person concerned, Zhao Qian, to comment, he will definitely tell Lin Ji that the person who spread the rumor that Zhao Xiyuan was framed by his brother's jealousy can only be Zhao Yang.

The reason is very simple, first, this matter was not done by him, and second, Zhao Yu's brain cannot be so good.

It's a pity that Zhao Qian won't explain this matter to Lin Ji at all, Zhao Fu took Zhao Qian to bypass the defensive force through the secret passage and went straight to Luyuan City and went straight to Zhongzhou City, but Lin Ji's direction was the mustard city that Zheng Yuan launched a feint.

These are two routes that are not parallel, but do not intersect.

At this moment, the two brothers Zhao Yu and Zhao Yang in Zhongzhou City were sitting in the Zhao Mansion for further discussion.

"Cousin is really smart, they really didn't attack Luyuan City." Zhao Yudao.

"Well, but I didn't expect them to choose Mustard City." Zhao Yang touched his chin and said curiously.

In Zhao Yang's calculations, he directly eliminated the mustard city, the reason is too simple, compared to the easy to defend and difficult to attack Bailan City, and the relatively weak defense of Luyuan City, the mustard city is stuck in the middle, it is a shame to abandon the chicken ribs that are tasteless and abandoned.

is a golden mean, Zhao Yang commented, the so-called famous general at that time, the young general, is nothing more than that.

Zhao Yang thought that Zhao Fu did not choose Bailan City, which was the most difficult but could be regarded as a surprise soldier, nor did he choose Luyuan City, which seemed to be the best breakthrough, but sent troops to attack the mustard city that could not be defeated, which can be seen that Zhao Fu did not have the courage to fight, it was just a middle-of-the-road choice.

"Mustard City, hum, General Zhao, I have to remind you, although I don't have too many troops in Mustard City, it's enough for you to drink a pot, blame you for being smart and not fighting Luyuan City!" Zhao Yang snorted proudly.

No matter how you look at it now, Zhao Yang occupies the home advantage, whether it is public opinion or foreign aid.

Zhao Yu, my dear brother, you fight with me, and you are a little tender.

Zhao Yang smiled brightly, he had already seen the position of the head of the Zhao family beckoning to him.
