After Li Yuanhao left Zhao Shuo's mansion, he wrote a letter and handed it to Tuoba Hong, asking him to take it back to Anqing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info For the sake of small cannonballs and changing cities, he can still reluctantly call the shots, but for such a big thing as borrowing troops, he must ask Chongzong Li Qianshun what he meant.

Tuoba Hong left Guxian on the same day, but Li Yuanhao and Li Qianyuan stayed, and they still lived in the inn. It's just that, unlike before, they are no longer dormant to inquire for information, but swagger around Gu County.

For these two, Zhao Shuo gave the order to go with the flow, as long as they were not close to the arsenal, the mining area of the northern mountains, and the hop planting area in the west, they did not have to deal with them.

Li Yuanhao sent people to Gu County, how could he completely hide it from the folded family. After discovering that Western Xia had a connection with Zhao Shuo, Zhe Keqiu issued an order to transfer Zhe Yanye, who was out on the battlefield, back.

Orihino, who returned to Fuzhou, didn't even eat a full meal, simply cushioned his stomach, and went to Gu County with a few entourages who were about to whip up.

Zhao Shuo and Li Yuanhao both told each other the conditions, and Tuoba Hong left Guxian and went back to Anqing to discuss with Chongzong Li Qianshun. At this time, Orihiko Ye arrived in Tani County.

After coming to Gu County, Zhi Yanye went straight to Zhao Shuo's mansion, and naturally he pounced, because Zhao Shuo had already moved to the residence of Wu Yashi in the north of the city.

After hearing the news from the guards, Orihiko frowned, and then ran in the direction of the north gate.

Zhao Shuo has not been idle in the past two days, he summarized all the information, and then went through it in his mind, and then drew a simple map according to the geographical knowledge he knew. The map is very sloppy, with Song, Xia, Jin, Zhe and Shuo marked on it.

Shuo represents Zhao Shuo, and from the simple map, it can be seen at a glance that among all the forces, he is the weakest. If any force wants to kill him, as long as he attacks with all his strength, he will definitely be killed.

"Alas~, survive in the cracks!" Zhao Shuo sighed, and then marked the cities that were caught in the war one by one.

Zhao Shuo controlled Linzhou and Fengzhou, Shuozhou in the east was controlled by Zhejia, Suizhou in the south was controlled by Western Xia, Yinzhou and Xiazhou in Western Xia in the west, and Jinsu Army and Heqing Army in Western Xia in the north. Zhao Shuo's Gu County is northeast of Linzhou and Fengzhou. Further north of Guxian was the Juzheng army sent out by Zhao Shuo, who did not occupy any city, but controlled a separation zone between the Xia army and the Zhejia army to prevent the two sides from merging in the north.

Zhao Shuo's control range, it can be clearly seen from the map, it is roughly an oblique J, there are not many troops, and now it is straightened, if the local siege is not attacked, cut off the contact between all parties, except for Zhao Shuo in Gu County, I am afraid that the soldiers sent out will starve to death.

However, Zhao Shuo knew very well that this situation should not appear, because the hatred between the Zhe family and the Western Xia surrounding him was too deep.

The Western Xia occupied Suizhou, conquered Shizhou, and approached Xinzhou, while the Zhejia soldiers pointed directly at Daizhou after defeating Yingzhou and Shuozhou. The location of Daizhou is just north of Xinzhou, and the distance between the two states is not far.

Now the two rivals are far away, and there has not been much conflict yet, but what will happen after facing each other across the city, no one knows.

In the eyes of the Western Xia and the Zhe family, Zhao Shuo is not an enemy, so there is the current situation.

Looking at the east, the north is Wanyan Gao's army, Zhao Shuo learned that Wanyan Gao has occupied Jizhou, Yizhou and Fengshengzhou, and has formed a joint encirclement of Zhongdu, but Wanyan Wu Qimai has requisitioned all the troops in the northeast of Jin into Zhongdu, and this battle should be held for a while.

The area around Luoyang in the south was the army of the Great Song Dynasty, and after the Song army divided the Puppet Qi into two, it neither went north to attack the Jin State, nor attacked the Puppet Qi on both sides, and seemed to be waiting for an opportunity.

Chang'an City in the southwest has been controlled by Zhang Chujiu, Xuan Hao and others. The Western Xia had already captured Gyeongju and Ningzhou, and the troops pointed to Weizhou and Qinzhou. According to the news sent back by Zhang Chujiu, the Song army in this area is desperately resisting, and the battle is particularly fierce.

This simple map can be said to be a summary of all the battles that are currently underway.

Looking at this simple battlefield map, Zhao Shuo fell into deep thought.

"Lord Wang, Zhe Yanye asks to see, do you want to see?" I don't know how long it took for Fluttershy to hear Fluttershy's voice.

"Orihino? Why is this kid here? Zhao Shuo came back to his senses, shook his head, and asked softly.

"It should be that the prince met Li Yuanhao and they knew about it!" Fluttershy guesses. "Or, the slave maid will say that the prince is not here, let Orihiko go back first?"

Zhao Shuo looked at Fluttershy speechlessly, and everyone came in to report it, and then went out to tell her that she was not there, which was too fake.

"Let him in!" Zhao Shuo said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Fluttershy salutes and leaves.

When the time comes, Orihiko follows Fluttershy and walks in.

"Brother Zhao, I miss Fuzhou very much!" As soon as Orihiko saw Zhao Shuo, he arched his hand and laughed.

Zhao Shuo looked at Zhi Yanye, although he was smiling on his face, his brain was running rapidly.

Orihiko is now wearing armor, and in addition to dust, blood stains can be faintly seen on the armor.

Obviously, Orihiko Ye came here in a hurry, and it is likely that he will be pulled back on the battlefield.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Shuo spoke. "Brother Hikono, you are ......"

"To tell you the truth, I was fighting on the front line, and I was killing well, but my father sent an order, let me come to see you quickly." Zhi Yanye didn't hide it, because he knew that in front of Zhao Shuo, he couldn't hide it if he wanted to.

"What's going on? So anxious to see me? Zhao Shuo pretended to be confused.

"Along the way, I asked around, and I heard that the prince has researched a black and good thing, can you make my brother open his eyes!" Orihiko asked.

"You're talking about small cannonballs!" Zhao Shuo said with a smile.

"It should be, I don't know the specifics, I heard that this thing is very powerful, more powerful than ordinary artillery, and it can be operated by one person." Orihiko Ye tilted his head slightly. "One person can be worth a cannon, if there are thousands of people, it will not be a problem to sweep the world!"

"Seeing that you are tired of traveling, take a good rest first, and I'll take you to see it another day!" Zhao Shuo said.

"By the way, Brother Zhao, brother heard that you sold this thing to the Wan Yan Gao of the Jin Kingdom?" Orihiko asks intentionally or unintentionally after taking a few sips of Fluttershy's poured tea.

"He said that he had a good relationship with the Zhe family, and that brother I was short of money, so I sold a little!" Zhao Shuo scratched his head. "It can't be that brother, I did something wrong!"

"Hahaha......" Orihiko laughed heartily. Where Brother Zhao said, the things belong to Brother Zhao, and how to deal with them is Brother Zhao's right. Softening his tone, Orihiko continued. That is, if there is such a good opportunity in the future, I hope that Zhao Shuo will think about breaking the family, and my brother will be satisfied. (To be continued.) )
