Out of the boundary between the rivers, but one day came to the boundary of Zhuozhou.

At this time, due to the sudden increase in heavy troops by the Youzhou Khitan, Xue Ne, the left forward, could only stand still and wait for new instructions from His Highness after joining up with Li Duozuo.

When Wu Shui led the army to Zhuozhou City, ten miles away, Xue Ne and Li Duozuo greeted each other, and the two were afraid of His Royal Highness scolding, so they did not make some drum music to greet them. Moreover, at this time, the prospect of the war is unclear, who dares to enjoy the present enemy?

Wu ordered the army to be stationed outside the city of Zhuozhou, and rode into the city of Zhuozhou. Since the Khitan rebellion in Hebei, officials in many prefectures and counties in Hebei have either fled, or have been captured by the Khitans and sacrificed their lives. Zhuozhou Assassin History is a seal escape, so only the long history Zhao Zhiming is the temporary prime minister of government affairs, which can be described as dedicated, Zhao Zhiming is a native of Hengzhou, and it is said that he has an inextricable relationship with Zhao Yun, the general of the Shu Han Dynasty. In short, Zhao Zhiming did not escape the official, and after Li Duozuo was stationed in Zhuozhou, he cooperated in every possible way, and he was very active.

In this regard, when Wu Chu first read the information, he also remembered this person, he wanted to make great efforts, not just rely on physical officials, such as Zhao Zhiming, non-physical officials, should be praised and reused.

When he arrived at the Assassin's Mansion, Wu Zhi summoned the officials of Zhuozhou, he recognized Zhao Zhiming at a glance, his shrewd little eyes were bright, Wu Zhi laughed and said: "You are Zhao Zhiming!" ”

Zhao Zhiming was stunned, could it be that someone told His Highness who he was? His Royal Highness asked, he didn't dare to think about it, so he immediately bowed down and said: "The next official is the governor of Zhuozhou, Zhao Zhiming, Zhao Zhiming knocked to see His Highness!" ”

With that, Zhao Zhiming knelt on the ground. Prostrate!

After Wu Chu was stunned for a moment, he said: "The man has gold under his knees, and he kneels down to the Son of Heaven." Kneel down parents, this king can't afford it, you get up and speak! ”

Zhao Zhiming still knelt and said: "Your Royal Highness is the prince, and soon you will be the Son of Heaven, and you should be the minister to kneel." His Majesty has never gone out of the city to greet His Royal Highness, it is the minister's rudeness, and His Majesty will make amends to His Highness! ”

Let's talk about it. Zhao Zhiming kowtowed again!

Wu Chu was speechless for a while, and then said: "If you are like this again, is it possible to want this king to kneel down to you?" ”

Zhao Zhiming was taken aback. He hurriedly got up, except for the current saint, who would dare to let the future emperor kneel back?

Li Duozuo on the side bowed down and said, "Your Highness, Zhuozhou has escaped due to the assassination of the history. Zhao Changshi was quite tired. The last general did not inform him that His Highness had arrived today. If you want to be punished, you should punish the ministers. ”

Kindness? Wu Chuan was stunned in his heart, this Li Duozuo is also a person who doesn't talk much, why do you want to speak for this long history today? Could it be that there is some collusion between the two? But how could Wu Chu punish the two of them for this matter, it would be too heartless.

So, Wu Chu said angrily: "It's just a trivial matter, are you bothered or not?" At the moment of war, we should focus on war. Don't show off in front of this king! ”

Suddenly. The officials and generals bowed down and said, "Your Highness's teachings, the ministers have remembered them!" ”

In this way, in the following time, Wu Chuan inquired about the people of Zhuozhou and so on. After the inquiry, Wu Zong left Li Duozuo and Xue Ne to dine together and discuss the march to Youzhou.

After a brief meal, Li Duozuo bowed down and said: "Your Highness, three days ago, the spies in Youzhou reported that the Khitans suddenly increased at least 30,000 soldiers and horses in Youzhou City, and the last general and General Xue did not dare to make a rash move, so they stayed for the time being, and asked His Highness to punish him." ”

Wu Chu pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The Khitans in Youzhou have increased their troops, maybe the Khitans want to resist the city and defend it, or maybe this is just an illusion of the Khitans, but the Khitans have another purpose, to increase the strength of Youzhou, just to delay the time for our army to attack Youzhou!" ”

Immediately, he frowned, if it was the first type, he should be happy, but there was always a strange feeling in his heart. If it is the second type, then what is the purpose of the Khitans? Suddenly, his heart moved, so he ordered: "Immediately fly the pigeon to pass the book, and quickly report to Zhang Jiujie, so that he can quickly retreat to Cangzhou, there must be no mistake!" There is also a stall in Youzhou City to report the Khitan military situation in Youzhou at any time! ”

Xue Ne seemed to have thought of something, so he immediately bowed down and agreed, and retreated. Li Duozuo wanted to arrange the transmission of military information in Youzhou, and he also bowed and retreated.

When the two retreated, Wu Chu frowned, Youzhou increased his troops, why didn't he get the information? Could it be that the Youzhou Intelligence Station was terminated? Or is there a problem in the delivery?

Immediately, Wu Chuan shouted: "Call Yang Zhiqian to me!" ”

Gu'an County.

Located in the southeast of Zhuozhou, the land here is fertile, it is a county in Zhuozhou, if it is not for its historical background, Zhuozhou's governance is placed in Fanyang County, but no matter how it is a big county here. Of course, today's Gu'an County has been plundered many times by the Khitans, the city is ten rooms and nine empty, the city walls are dilapidated, and the farmland outside the city is barren and uncultivated. In Dongjia Village, outside the city, there were five gray-haired old men basking in the sun and looking at the barren fields with tears in their eyes.

Suddenly, the ground trembled, and the chaotic sound of horses' hooves entered the old man's ears, and a lame old man snorted and said, "The Khitan dog is here again!" ”

"Old man Dong, be quiet!" An old man on the side immediately stopped it.

The lame old man scolded: "You soft egg, if you are ten years younger, my old man will climb to the top of the city, and still two stones, smash those grandsons to death!" ”

Soon, the shouts of the Khitan people came, and then they did not stop at all, galloping through the village, leaving a cloud of dust behind.

The lame old man stretched his neck, saw the dust in the distance, and the last Khitan soldier left a back, the lame old man spat out phlegm, and scolded: "Grandson, if my Emperor Taizong is here, how many days can you turtle grandsons jump?" ”

"I said Old Man Dong, now it's all in the Great Zhou world, you are still Emperor Taizong, be careful that someone tells you and discounts your other leg!"

"Huh! I think back then, the old man followed me Emperor Taizong......"

Suddenly, there was another sound of horses' hooves outside the village, and the five old men were silent for a while, but listening to the sound, there were not many people. After a while, I saw ten soldiers dressed in the uniforms of the Great Zhou Dynasty rushing into the village, and when I saw five old men basking in the sun, I grabbed the reins of the horses, got off the horses, and walked towards the five old men. The old men's faces changed slightly, and they wanted to dodge, but they were too late.

"Don't run away, I'm a Great Zhou scout, I want to ask my father-in-law, how long has this Khitan army been?" A scout fire leader asked.

As soon as they heard that it was the Great Zhou scout, the five old men were relieved, and the lame old man said: "This sergeant, the Khitan army has only passed for a moment, the people in the village have fled, and the food has also been robbed by the Khitans, and my five old men will die like this......

Before he finished speaking, the scout fire leader immediately said, "Thank you, old man!" Then he shouted, "Get on the horse now!" ”

The ten Great Zhou scouts immediately galloped away.

"Dong Laohan, do you see it, this is our Great Zhou army, not the Khitan bandit strongmen!" (To be continued......)
