Chapter Fifty-Eight: A Thousand Miles of Smoke (Part II)

The sudden change in Suiping was like a clarion call for attack, and the originally calm southeast of the Central Plains was thunderous.

The next day, the day was not yet bright, 20,000 Yi troops under the personal command of the military division He Ran with lightning speed along the direction of Xu Tong's march into the Zhao realm, less than an hour, two 10,000 troops under the command of Wang Jin and He Heng were dispatched from the Hechuan Valley and Shenniu City, three men and horses were like three sharp swords pointing directly at the fortresses of all sides, and some of the guards of Zhao had just received the fast horse flying report from the imperial court and made deployments, and some had not yet received the news and were killed in a daze,

As soon as the smoke rose here, the 30,000 troops and 10,000 soldiers of Shunguo also came over with the power of thunder.

For a time, the southeast of Zhao for thousands of miles of border passes was almost everywhere, the sound of war drums, the sound of shouting and killing resounded in the sky, and the guards everywhere were anxious, most of them experienced the same thing: the fast horses sent to the surrounding areas for help have not returned, and the fast horses of the other party for help have arrived, as the military orders of the military division spread all over the place, many generals had no choice but to call in vain, because the current situation made them unable to act according to the requirements of the military division.

Kong Lin, who had been depressed for a long time, finally found the feeling of galloping on the battlefield again, the taste of boiling blood made him extremely excited and excited, the fly in the ointment was that although he was a pioneer officer, he received a military order to avoid the enemy army as quickly as possible to meet the general, leading three thousand elites to face the vulnerable Zhao army everywhere but could not kill a happy one, Kong Lin was really itchy and unbearable, and the military order was difficult to disobey, but this is much better than going to preach the new policy, put on the armor and still worry about not fighting, nearly two hundred miles of travel in less than two days, The only two interceptions of the Zhao army were also about to collapse at the touch of a button,

On the one hand, the speed is so fast because this group of men and horses has fought in the prairie, and has benefited a lot from the soldiers, not only one person and two horses, and the horses are all good horses in the grassland, on the other hand, the route is appropriate, which is of course thanks to Shi Lang's geographical map,

Xu Tong, who occupied the three cities and held on, was extremely excited when he saw Kong Lin, and patted him on the shoulder and said, "You came here too quickly, a day and a night faster than planned." ”

Kong Lin has been friends with him for more than ten years, and said with a smile: "It's not that I'm afraid that you won't be able to keep it, so I sacrificed my life to come." ”

Xu Tong said contemptuously: "Don't be too crazy, not only your military division's subordinates can fight, but these brothers of mine also crawled out of the pile of dead people." ”

Kong Lin didn't want to talk nonsense, and said: "Since there is no enemy counterattack, then I will turn back and fight the crown city, I looked at it from a distance when I passed by, and there didn't seem to be any more troops there." ”

Xu Tong glared and said: "The beauty of thinking, as I said before, you will be responsible for guarding the city after you come, so you can stay here honestly." ”

Kong Lin said with a smile: "Let it be me, you also know that I have been preaching the new policy for more than a year, and I am about to get sick." ”

Xu Tong said without accommodating: "If you have a grievance, you will go to your military division, and I didn't ask you to be a Laoshizi propaganda officer, and he also set it to let you defend the city here, do you dare to disobey his military orders." ”

Kong Lin looked at him dissatisfiedly and said, "Aren't you just sending me, you are a general, and it is a common thing to deal with it at the right time." ”

Xu Tong smiled and said: "It's a bad thing, you go and kill the enemy quickly, I'll carry this black cauldron for you, don't even think about it." ”

Kong Lin knew that it was hopeless, so he ordered his subordinates to take over the defense.

Xu Tong pulled him aside and comforted: "It's not that I don't give you this affection, first, the military order cannot be violated, and second, even if you go, you may not have a battle to fight." ”

"What do you say?"

Xu Tong lowered his voice and said: "The reason why the crown city was fought first was another important reason in addition to its important location, one of the generals who defended the city there had already intended to surrender to us, and when the time came, the city gate should be opened, what else is there to fight in this battle." ”

Kong Lin was surprised: "There is such a good thing. ”

Xu Tong smiled proudly and said: "You don't know much, let me tell you the truth, many of these officials at the border of Zhao State have secretly communicated with us, you wait and see, the show is about to begin." ”

Kong Lin was puzzled: "Why is this happening? ”

Xu Tong pouted and said: "It's not a big gift from Zhao Yu's bastard, his nonsense really made Zhao Guo disheartened, you still remember what Yuyanghou did." ”

Kong Lin nodded and said: "He was burned to death by the fire of the military advisor in front of the Zangxian Valley, and it didn't take long for Zhao Qi to bully his wife, and it was for this reason that Li Song offered the city to join us." ”

"Well, Yu Yanghou has outstanding achievements and has a lot of prestige in the army, but such a person has ended up like this, those generals who are not cold, there are many Zhao generals who secretly wrote to us for a while, and they all said that as long as our army arrives, they will surrender the city, and now although Zhao Min has been replaced, these letters are in our hands, and it is impossible for those generals to regret it."

Kong Lin frowned and said: "Having said that, you have to be cautious when time passes, and you can't be too careless." ”

Xu Tong smiled and said, "We naturally know this, and there are still some generals who want to join us for another reason, they are forced to be cornered." ”

"That's what it means."

Xu Tong sighed a little abruptly, shook his head again, and said, "The new policy of the military advisor is ......, and I don't know how to say it now." ”

"How did you get to the New Deal, continuing what I just said." Kong Lin knew that he had always been dissatisfied with the New Deal, and wanted to bring the topic back.

"It's the new deal that forced these officials to be cornered, the border people fled to our side like crazy, they can't control it, they will be punished if they can't control it, they will lose their officials or lose their lives, these people really have no choice but to ask for help from the guards on our side, so that we don't shelter those border people who have escaped, many of them have been surrendered as a condition in the future, and some shrewd ones are aware of the general trend and sincerely want to take refuge in the long-term plan, this time the order of each city has been repeatedly selected."

Kong Lin listened to the spirit and sincerely persuaded: "Don't be stubborn, you see, the new policy can not only calm the people but also surrender the enemy, a genuine soldier who surrenders without a fight, the military division has worked hard for the new policy, you general should help more, how can you set up obstacles everywhere." ”

Xu Tong said unhappily: "I only argued with him a few times at the beginning, which is like what you said. ”

Kong Lin said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I said it wrong, so what do you think of the new deal now." ”

"That's a lot of talk, I also want to ask you about the people's feelings you have noticed in this paragraph, let's find a place to talk in detail in a while, you go to arrange the city defense first, I will send a general to take the crown city, this matter should not be delayed." After that, the two went separately to arrange,
