On a hill overlooking the ruined earth walls of Shengdou Eup, trees have been cut down and curtains have been erected around them to prevent dust from entering. Flattened by wooden stakes and footboards, the mats are neatly arranged, and countless low tables made of pine wood are erected, on which the meat and liquor syrup directly from the kitchen of the temple are held, and the aroma is fragrant.

This is a celebration feast and a reunion feast.

The continuous camp tent set up by Zhao Wuxian for the Zhao soldiers who came from afar was under the hill, and the banner of the scorching bird fluttered on the long pole, and he himself was here to feast with the post Wuzheng who had just met and dozens of Zhao soldiers.

When he first learned of the plan, Zhao Wuxian didn't believe it, although the pass in the late Spring and Autumn Period was not dense, but the first pass alone was extremely difficult to cross from the densely populated territory of Zheng Guo for more than 100 miles. Zheng Jun's combat effectiveness can be ranked second-rate among the princes of the Central Plains, and if they intercept and surround him, the consequences are unimaginable.

But Daddy Zhao Ying just has this suspicious person, he doesn't have the temperament to use people, he believes in the ability of the post Wuzheng, and everything lets him plan by himself.

So there was this earth-shattering move of 500 miles of running, when Post Wuzheng and the Zhao soldiers behind him stood in front of him with all their beards and tails, Zhao Wuxian also had to sigh at the martial arts strategy and genius of this "Zhao Zhibole". Although he has also had a lot of military adventures, most of them are prudent moves after the temple calculation, and it seems that he still has a lot to learn from Zhao Ying and Yu Wuzheng in terms of temperament and military strategy.

He thought to himself: "No wonder in the battle of Liuqing in history, the Zhao clan was able to resist the coalition forces of several countries with the strength of one clan, and the economic foundation laid by Dong Anyu was indispensable. Not to mention the command of those who are good at fighting. ”

So he hurriedly picked up Post Wuzheng, who was still dressed in military uniform, and praised from the bottom of his heart: "Ziliang Sima set off from Zhouyi. crossed the sacrificial land, and then entered the realm of no one in the territory of Zheng State. After passing through the Song State and passing through the Cao State, he circled an arc, and traveled 500 miles to attack the Shengdou of the Wei Kingdom, and made a world-beating achievement, which can be described as an unprecedented feat...... There is no need to be polite with the armor in my body, I will be the host once, and treat Ziliang and all the Zhao military officials! ”

"The gentleman has a good reputation, Zheng Guo was only strong back then, and today he is attached to Chu. Tomorrow will descend to Jin, and the morning will descend and rebel at night. Zhao Bing went to punish Zheng Guo not a hundred times, but dozens of times, and he was very familiar with the road passes, and the map was left in the treasury, and I studied it a lot on weekdays. As for Song and Cao, thanks to the foundation laid by the gentleman over there, without this, Wuzheng would have been rejected from the country by these two countries long ago. Not to mention the supplies along the way! ”

Wuxian's side is full of admiration for the fierce generals under Zhao Ying, and Post Wuzheng is also impressed by the career that this gentleman has built after his exile.

In July and August last year, Zhao Wuxian was just a small doctor. The lord of the two provinces is not very conspicuous in the Lu State, and there are also predictions in the Jin State. That's all there is to say that his life is limited to. Unexpectedly, a year later, one shocking news after another reached the Jin Kingdom. shocked everyone, especially Zhao Wuxian's peers.

He became the expulsion of Yang Hu. The first hero to rescue Lu Hou became the lord of Yuncheng and the middle doctor. In addition, the group of thieves who have recently descended from the wind, the main alliance of Xilu Zhuyi, and the conqueror of Punan...... Countless crowns have been embellished on the shirtless head, and the serial strategies to achieve all this, as well as the successive military victories, have also made the post look different.

At the feast, he talked less and watched more, listening to his subordinates and Zhao Wuxian's assistant compete with each other, boasting about what had happened along the way, and loudly recounting the recent beautiful ambushes to lure the enemy. While eating politely, he observed the unsympathetic way of dealing with the world and governing the army.

I saw Zhao Wuxian holding a wine cup and sitting in the first place on the Yan Feast, not only with the majestic posture of the lord, but also patted the person on the shoulder intimately, and laughed with the person. The warriors all hoped to have a lord who understood the military, so Zhao Wuxian not only knew the soldiers, but also was able to be a corporal of courtesy, coupled with the bold posture of drinking, he soon won the love of the military officials under Post Wuzheng, and many people had already said with a big tongue that they were willing to dance for him and help him drink, and died on the battlefield.

You Wuzheng looked at it in his eyes, and nodded secretly in his heart, some details and methods of getting along with the tiger in the army were still taught to Zhao Wuxian back then, it seems that he has absorbed it very well, and he has been able to learn and use it lively, without any pretentiousness.

……

In the afternoon of the second day, after the supply was completed and a brigade of soldiers was left to guard Shengdou, Zhao Wuxian and Post Wuzheng reviewed the march, preparing to go north to seize the last city in Punan, the city Pu that contained the glory and dreams of the Jin Kingdom.

Last night, during the negotiation in the camp, Yu Wuzheng gave Wuxian a detailed introduction to the internal situation of the Jin Kingdom before his departure.

"There are now three armies in the Jin Kingdom, and each secretary is in charge of half of the army as a general and a subordinate, which seems to be average, but in fact, the soldiers in his hands are his own soldiers, so the number is different. The most powerful is naturally Fan and Zhongxing, Zhao Sanjia, Chaoge, Bairen, Jinyang, Handan several large counties can give hundreds of times, if it is a conscription, the three can gather about 30,000 people, comparable to a thousand times. It's a pity that nearly half of the Zhao family's troops are in the hands of small sects and retainers such as Handan and Zhongmu. ”

"The second is the Zhishi, with about 25,000 people; The second is the Wei and Han families, each with about 20,000 people. ”

So counting it, although Zhao Wuxian is known as the leader of the Xilu Alliance, even if he completely eats the entire Xilu including Xu Ju, and even Pu Nan and Dayozawa, his strength is only half of that of the weakest Qing Wei and Han.

Why was the Jin State able to dominate for a century and a half in the Spring and Autumn Period, why could it be divided into three and still rank among the seven heroes in history, and beat the surrounding neighbors without any temper. The absolute superiority in strength and population is a major reason, and only Chu and Qi can compare with it.

"Now the forces east of Taihang of the Zhongxing clan are pressed on the west bank of the river, confronting the Chen clan of the Qi State, while the Fan clan is stationed in Zhongmu, and is dragged by the left and right armies of the Wei State, unable to rush to help. Even the soldiers of the Handan clan, who had already reached the halfway point, were worried that the defense would attack Handan, Han and other places, so they sent half of the soldiers back to defend. ”

"As for the domestic market, the main force of the Wei clan defended the Qin people in Anyi and Hexi, the main force of the Han clan defended the Zheng state in the prefecture, and the Zhi clan used the excuse of guarding against the Rongdi turmoil. sent some troops to Xianyu, and the rest sat in the national capital. Therefore, the lord only brought five or six thousand people with him when he marched eastward, and he had to leave most of the army to guard against the Zhi clan. ”

Zhao Wuxian bowed his head. He has some understanding of the distribution and movement of Zhu Qing's troops, which are all variables that can affect his plans in the future, but what he is most concerned about is where the five or six thousand Zhao soldiers led by Zhao Ying are.

"Before I crossed the river, the lord had already begun to climb the Taixing Sheep Intestine Mountain, and I must have arrived in the state now, not far from the thorns of the country......

Wuxian nodded: "That's fine." "That's the most crucial part of this serial plan!

The warriors and the Zhao soldiers who came from afar have all been assembled, and they are riding on horses, although they prefer to ride alone now. Instead of riding in a car, but still habitually pedaling and standing.

"Ziliang Sima Ke still remembers that when you went to the palace, you warned me that before going to war, you must let the soldiers see clearly who is leading them."

Post Wuzheng said: "Naturally remember!" ”

"Then after you and I join forces today, who should be the commander?" Wuxian's eyes burned, and he looked at Post Wuzheng with an inquiry.

Post Wuzheng suddenly said that when he was appointed as a striker by Zhao Ying, he did not say who he would be the main one after he and Zhao Wuxian joined the school. Jia Sima can be in charge of the army. Theoretically, the coach gives priority to veterans, and it is understandable to hand over the soldiers to him to command, but according to his own thoughts, he obviously wants to be subordinate to the Zhao gentleman.

The meaning of Zhao Wuxian's words. It seems to be the same.

You Wuzheng is not eager for a strong heir of the Zhao family, and he also made up his mind: "If the unsympathetic gentleman can return to the country as a prince as soon as possible, then the Zhao family's strong army and rich family are just around the corner!" ”

So he replied: "Naturally, it is supplemented by subordinates." Gentlemen are the mainstay! ”

He hesitated for a moment and added, "I'm ashamed to say that I should have arrived a few days earlier." The one who assisted the gentleman in attacking the defender is now missing. Can only clear the remnants of the Punan Guards for the gentleman, and go north to Chengpu today, please refuse for the gentleman! ”

"Good, that's good." Wuxian smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and rode forward, distancing the two who were originally parallel.

The position of Post Wuzheng is just behind the side of the shirtless horse's hips, which will be brightly lit, and after taking a closer look, I can't help but wonder when this earlier thin gentleman has grown so tall, almost as tall as the lord Zhao Ying. Then I suddenly remembered that Wuxian had been away from home for two years and was already seventeen years old......

Zhao Wuxian's dark color was blown by the wind as it moved, and the gold-cyan bronze components on the pitch-black and red armor reflected the sunlight. Only his stripped head was exposed, and the breeze stirred his swarthy bun and red tassels to meet the eager gaze of the soldiers.

They now know that today's commander is still Zhao Wuxian, and they also believe that with Zhao Xiaosikou's sword and Zhao's Xuanniao Banner, they will be invincible!

……

"The water of the spring also flows in Qi. There is a guard, and the sun is not thinking. ”

When the news of the fire in the backyard came, Wei Hou was leading the left and right armies between Huanshui and Qishui, that is, the "Shao" land in the three major areas of the core of the former defense of the country, "Shao, Hu, and Wei".

It seems to be homesick, although Shaodi has been mixed with a lot of Rong Di and Jin people from the east for more than 100 years, but Wei Hou still has the sound of Wei here when he hears it, and the food, water and soil are no different from Puyang, and he can't help but hope that he can "recover" here after the war.

However, Wei Hou also had a pimple in his heart, a few days ago, when Wang Sun Jia heard that he and Mi Zibian had sent the guards stationed in Lishan to the east to suppress the thieves, he was so anxious that he stomped his feet.

"Dr. Zifang is also a person who knows soldiers, why is he so confused?"

At that time, Mizi was still unconvinced, and defended: "The bandits are rampant, and they naturally want to suppress it, what's the problem?" ”

"You have no knowledge, you lack the view of adaptability, you are small and lose big! Naturally, the robbers can't help but guard against it, but they just picked this time to haunt Punan, who knew that it was not Zhao Wuxian's strategy, and there was no variable in him in previous years. I'd rather let Gongsun Qi stay in Lishan steadily and save most of Punan, rather than let him fall into a trap in order to save Juye, which will lead to the erosion of the situation! ”

The more Wei Hou listened, the more justified he felt, and reprimanded Mi Zifang, and asked people to quickly send a pass car to recover this order.

But it was too late.

When he heard that Zhao Wuxian of Xilu had sent troops to Punan in the name of arresting thieves and punishing the guards for betraying the Jin Dynasty, and trapping Juye and Weeping Hill, he immediately flipped the table and scolded the "cheap concubine".

"Sure enough, as Dr. Wang Sun expected, but he never thought that Gongsun would be defeated so quickly! The widow really shouldn't have handed over the defense of Punan to him. ”

In any case, Wei Houyuan didn't stay for long to kill time with Fan and Handan, and sat back and waited for the Qi people to achieve victory. He wanted nothing more than to return home as soon as possible and drive out the thieves who had stolen his city.

Although Punan is neither large nor rich, with only four towns and less than 50,000 people, it is still very important for the patriotic country with a population of less than 500,000.

But the guards are now unable to move, originally they camped between Qi and Huan Ershui, blocking Fan's in the south and Handan in the north, which is a brilliant strategy. Now it has become a dead place, and if you want the south, you can't go south, and you can't go north if you want north.

At this time, Wang Sunjia offered another plan.

"Your Majesty, we have dragged more than 10,000 Jin people for half a month, and we have done our best to align people. Now Punan is in danger, and it will even affect Pubei Diqiu. It is better to send an envoy to Fan's army, and propose that the two families go their own way, and we let them go to Yiyi through the ferry, and they must not attack when we return to the country. Fan and Zhao Wuxian have a grudge against their son, this feud is far greater than state affairs, and Fan Jishu will definitely agree! (To be continued......)
