A few days later, Zhang Jiujie led the army to Jizhou to converge, Wu Chu praised him, and ordered him to lead the 20,000 sergeants of the headquarters as the right forward, and go Cangzhou to attack Pingzhou. With Xue Ne as the left forward, he marched to Zhuozhou, and after striving to join Li Duozuo, he leveled the Khitans occupying Youzhou in one fell swoop.

So, when the left and right forwards set off one after another, Wu Chu sat in the Chinese army and slowly marched towards Zhuozhou.

On this day, when the army arrived in Dingzhou, Wu Chu asked the guide and said, "Which direction should I go to Boling?" ”

The guide is a Weizhou businessman, who travels between Weizhou and Dingzhou all the year round, so he is very familiar with the terrain in this area. So he said: "If you follow the official road, you must first go to Dingzhou, and then turn east, it is estimated that you will arrive in two days." If you take the trade route, you will arrive in one day. ”

Wu Chuan thought that the greeting note he sent to Boling Cui's was written tomorrow, so he asked, "Then is there a way to Zhuozhou from Boling?" ”

The guide bowed down and said: "Your Highness, please rest assured that Boling was a big city hundreds of years ago, and naturally there are passages to all the big cities. ”

Wu Chu nodded and said, "Well, pass the order to go down, take the business road, and go to Boling!" ”

So, the army turned east and embarked on the road to Boling.

All the way to the flat land, a field of green crops are thriving, but when they get to the front, they find that the crops are messy horseshoe prints, as well as the fallen and broken seedlings, and even in some places are destroyed in patches. A touch of frost suddenly appeared on Wu Chu's face, this Khitan person is really hateful! If it can't be eradicated this time. You'll have to worry about attacks in the future. In his heart, he immediately sentenced the Khitans to death!

The vast plains opened Wu Zheng's horizons, if it weren't for something in his heart. He really wanted to write a poem, so he followed the generals behind him and said: "If such a vast plain, if the water conservancy is complete, and there are good seeds, the grain produced in this place is enough for the people in Hebei to eat, how can there be a famine?" You're all sergeants. Although there is a court to provide for you, but the essence is that the people provide for you, and you must understand that food is not easy to come by. to make a great achievement! ”

The generals immediately replied: "Your Highness's teachings will always be remembered in your heart." ”

And so, in just three hours, they came to the edge of a great river. I saw the river flowing slowly. The river was very wide, and Wu Chuan looked far away, but there was no bridge, so he said to the guide: "Does this river have a name?" ”

The guide bowed and said: "Your Highness, this river is called the Zhulong River, according to legend, in ancient times, there were pigs in the river turned into dragons and soared, and because pigs are animals. It is inconvenient to match with the dragon, so it is called the Zhulong River. ”

Wu Chuan nodded. These are just tricks to deceive people, or just a pig's good wishes, and the dragon may be a strange thing to say since ancient times. As a traverser, you can only be half-convinced, as long as it doesn't hinder your grand plan, it doesn't matter what pig or dragon he is.

But the Zhulong River is in the way, and more than 100,000 troops can't move forward, but it's not a good thing. So he said, "Is there a bridge leading to guò here?" ”

The guide seemed to think of something, so he said: "Ten miles down the river, there is a ferry, but there are few boats at the ferry, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for the army to pass through Guò for a while." ”

Wu Chu didn't blame the guide, so he looked at the river again and said: "The march is here, you can't turn back, order the army to set up camp, bury the pot and make rice, and then lay a pontoon bridge and cross the river tomorrow!" ”

The generals received the order, each back to the headquarters, Wu Chu led the guards to the Zhulong River, at this time the sun has been slanting to the west, the river surface is sparkling, every time he sees the river, he will think of the yellow mud river at the head of the village in the previous life, the turbid river, with a roar to the east. At that time, I hated the river, because it was turbid, which made it useless, and when I was a child, I also blocked the way to school, and every time it rained heavily, I had to cross the river barefoot, and the cold river water made him have some slight arthritis.

Thinking of the Yellow Ni River at this moment, Wu Shui misses it so much, but in this historical period, his own home is still a wilderness now, and the Yellow Ni River has not yet appeared. If he had the chance, he might have looked there, and maybe he should have chosen his mausoleum there.

"Your Highness?"

"Your Highness?"

Wu Chu suddenly heard someone shouting to him, turned around and looked, Li Xianhui, who was dressed as a small soldier, looked at him in surprise, and asked, "What's the matter, Xianhui?" ”

Li Xianhui said: "Your Highness, your eyes, you are in tears!" ”

"Ah...... Is it? Wu Chu immediately stretched out his hand to wipe it away, but found that his eyes were already moist, and he said curtly: "It's the wind that has lost his eyes." ”

Li Xianhui was stunned in her heart, where is the wind? Immediately thought that His Royal Highness was such a majestic person, it seemed that there must be something unspeakable in her heart, thinking about it, her eyes were full of tenderness. Stretched out his hand to hold Wu Zheng's arm, but heard Wu Zheng say: "Stop, this is in the army, this king is not as good as Longyang!" ”

Li Xianhui suddenly thought of it, looked down at her clothes, and couldn't help laughing: "Your Highness is afraid of the gossip of the sergeants?" ”

Wu Zheng really wanted to knock Li Xianhui's head melon seeds, he said: "What gossip, this king is not afraid, but this king is no longer the past, every word and deed will be recorded in history and will be passed on to the people." If this king and your little soldier pull and pull today, I don't know what it will be like in the streets. ”

Li Xianhui's face turned red, lowered her head, and said angrily: "Whoever is pulling and pulling with you, it's all nonsense!" ”

Following.

There is a group of brightly dressed people standing outside the post pavilion outside Boling City, and the leader is Cui Ye, the head of the Boling Cui family, Cui Sheng, the head of the second family, behind him is the head of each room, and behind him is a group of young people.

At this time, among the young people, there was a gloomy face, and a handsome face became a little evil, he was Cui Xiang, who was originally born in Jinshi, and was tired of moving to Zuo Buque, but as a result, in the imperial court cleanup, he was directly dismissed from office because of his virtue and disadvantage.

"Big brother, the prince is coming to visit today, aren't we?"

The man who spoke was richly dressed and had a very handsome face, but there was a sly look in his eyes. This person is Cui Xiang's fourth brother Cui Li, who is the thirteenth in the family.

Cui Xiang's eyes were stunned for a moment, and then he asked, "Fourth brother, ...... you mean?"

"Big brother, fourth brother, don't be reckless, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is coming, if the hospitality is not good, it is not something you and I can afford." The person who spoke had a calm face, and a Chinese face looked mature and steady, but he was only twenty years old. If you don't know him well, you think you're thirty years old.

"Cui Laojiu, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute!" The person who spoke was Cui Xiang's second brother, Cui Yu.

"Enough, if it's so noisy again, get back to me!"

Suddenly, everyone lowered their heads and was silent for a while, because this was their father Cui Ru, who was originally a local official and was also swept out of the house in the big cleanup, and now he was also uncomfortable in his heart, so when he heard Zhuzi speak, he had to drink to avoid something big from happening.

At this time, at noon, the sun was shining, and on the official road in the distance, I saw the appearance of the honor guard, and gradually, the whole team showed its original appearance, and the mighty army only saw the head, but not the tail.

Cui Ye, the head of the Cui family, took a deep breath and said softly: "Give me some spirits, don't let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince look down on my Cui family!" ”

"Yes! Head of the house! Everyone agreed, and cheered up. (To be continued......)
