Chapter Thirty-Eight: Fiction and Reality

Zhao Zheng's original intention was to break the whole into parts, reduce the target and escape from Luzhou respectively.

Jiang Yun, as the personal guard of the Lord of Fuli, agreed, but disagreed that it was simply broken into pieces. It is best to divide the soldiers into two ways, and someone pretends to be the county lord to lead away the pursuers, so as to give Fu Li a chance to break through.

There was no doubt that the people who were pretending to be would be very dangerous, and Zhao Zheng did not agree with such risky behavior. But Jiang Yun insisted on this, for the safety of the county lord, they did not hesitate to make any risks and sacrifices, as the guards of the Wei Palace, this was their responsibility.

Zhao Zheng understood how deeply rooted the ancients' concept of servant loyalty was, so he didn't try to persuade Jiang Yun, so he had to agree.

The core characters are Zhao Zheng and Fu Li, so someone must pretend to be the two of them, and Ku'er, as the only woman except Fu Li, must play the county lord, so that Fu Li can no longer be closely protected.

So, after some deliberation and weighing, this glorious task fell to Zhao Zheng. He was responsible for protecting the county lord on the road alone, and the other seven people were used as bait to lure away the pursuers.

Jiang Yun originally only cared about the county lord, but Zhao Zheng's surname was Zhao after all, and Chen Qiao protected the emperor's family on the night of the mutiny, so maybe he was really a member of the imperial family. Now his status has risen to the level of the little county lord, at least for Li Yun and Liu Jun and others.

Ku'er is not there, and there is no one around the county lord to protect him, so it seems that only Zhao Zheng is the most suitable. Yesterday at Taipingyi, everyone saw his superb martial arts. Coupled with his strategy and ability, he is undoubtedly the one who can provide the best protection for the county lord, and the way back must be a battle of wits and strength.

As for the rest, such as what men and women should guard against, there is not much to take into account now!

"Zhao Gongzi, you must protect the county lord!"

Zhao Zheng still remembers Jiang Yun's advice when he left, this is the purpose of coming to Luzhou, of course, there can be no problems at the last moment. What's more, now that he has the same fate as the little county lord, Li Yun will definitely not let go of himself.

Speaking carefully, what really worries people is Jiang Yun and Ku'er, if they want to lead away the pursuers, it will inevitably be dangerous. Whether you can successfully escape is really worrying!

Now I can't care so much, why don't I resign myself to fate? The route chosen by Zhao Zheng was Zezhou, where the place that had just been attacked by Dan Jun's army could be said to be the hinterland controlled by Li Yun and the most dangerous place. But the most dangerous places are often the safest, and Li Yun may not have imagined that he would return to his turf in one fell swoop.

As long as you cross Zezhou, you can enter the Taihang Mountain, where the terrain is complex and it is easier to dodge. After Huaizhou, there is Mengzhou, where there is also a nickname called Heyang, where Han Lingkun is stationed.

In a way, this is the closest way back to the south. Where the flames of war burn, there must be chaos, and there are also conditions for fishing in troubled waters. Moreover, when passing through the periphery of Zezhou and Luzhou, he might be able to find a way to contact Chu Zhaofu, but this escape happened suddenly, and there was no time to inform him. If Chu Zhaofu and his spies could cooperate, it might be easier.

Since it is an escape, it must be disguised, a young man and a woman walk all the way, either pretending to be husband and wife or brother and sister. Zhao Zheng said with a smile: "Let's climb high for a few more days, and the county lord will take care of it!" ā€

Anyway, I've already taken on the name of the county lord, so what if I stay for a few more days? Fu Li had already eaten Zhao Zheng's temperament, and knew that it was useless to oppose it, so she simply acquiesced directly and let him take advantage of it for a few more days.

"Okay, daughter-in-law, let's go!"

Seeing that there were blisters on Fu Li's feet, Zhao Zheng diligently picked up the little county lord on his back, crossed the mountains, forests and rivers, and went in the direction of Zezhou.

……

……

As soon as Luqiu Zhongqing returned to Luzhou, he heard the good news that Dan Jue had conquered Zezhou and killed Zhang Fu, the assassin of Zezhou in the Song Dynasty.

Zezhou is an important place in the south, and it can be said that it was a victory in the first battle and a good start.

"Gong Li, General Dan lives up to expectations, congratulations!" Lu Qiu Zhongqing was very excited, and hurriedly came to say hello to Li Yun.

"What's there to be happy about, it's just a Zezhou city!" Li Yun seemed to be disapproving, and his expression was very indifferent.

Luqiu Zhongqing only said that his lord was modest, and said with a smile: "Zezhou is the gateway to the south of Taihang Mountain, and it is really good that General Dan Jue can take it quickly." ā€

Li Yun couldn't be happy, and said angrily: "What about the boy surnamed Zhao and the girl of the Fu family? Did you catch it? Liu Jun said that he would send 10,000 elite soldiers to help in the war, but there has been no one to see until now. ā€

Seeing that the situation was not good, Luqiu Zhongqing whispered: "The hunt is already underway, and there is no news yet." As for the Northern Han side, Lu Zan, the supervisor of Liu Jun's faction, has already arrived in ......"

"What this king wants is reinforcements, not bullshit supervising the army, this king fights, and he doesn't need others to dictate him." Li Yun, the king of Xiping, was greatly displeased: "The reinforcements have been delayed, and the front-line operation will inevitably be delayed, and Liu Jun is really hateful." ā€

Now that there is no Fu Yanqing, Li Chongjin is far away in Huainan, and the only reinforcements he can count on are the Northern Han. Although Li Yun was angry, he didn't dare to express it publicly, so he could only complain in private. In this situation, it is absolutely unwise to offend Liu Jun.

"Gong Li, General Dan Jue has made a good start, and it is the time to make a big move, and the offensive on the front line cannot be delayed because of the delay of the Northern Han Dynasty." Lu Qiu Zhongqing was a little anxious, this kind of time is a race against time, step by step, there is really no room for mistakes.

Li Yun said angrily: "If the Northern Han reinforcements don't come, how can they go south to fight?" ā€

"In fact, without the Northern Han Dynasty, it may not be impossible to succeed!" Luqiu Zhongqing said: "Li Gong, now that General Dan Jue has occupied Zezhou, he can take advantage of the situation to go south to Huaizhou and Mengzhou, Taihang Mountain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Zhao Kuangyin can't help us no matter how many troops he has." Then find an opportunity to cross the Yellow River, according to the tiger to guard Luoyang, and fight for the world in the east! ā€

"How does that sound so familiar?" Li Yun hesitated a little and asked curiously.

Li Shoujie on the side reminded softly: "Zhao Zheng has a similar mention yƬ! ā€

"By the way, that little monk mentioned it!" Li Yun groaned: "Zhongqing, I'm afraid this plan is inappropriate. That kid is Zhao Kuangyin's person, if this plan can really threaten Zhao Song, will he build it like this? Don't Zhao Kuangyin has already deployed heavy troops over there, deliberately luring the enemy, waiting for us to drill in! ā€

"This ......" Luqiu Zhongqing hesitated slightly, Zhao Zheng is scheming, and it is not impossible to lure the enemy. It's just that the possibility seems to be very small, after all, that sentence was said very early, and no one may take it to heart, but now it is more like Li Yun himself is suspicious.

Li Yun said in a deep voice: "Han Lingkun is stationed in Heyang, in Mengzhou, are you still going to be fooled?" ā€

The art of war is false and real, and the situation in Mengzhou may not be so bad. Regardless of whether you can successfully cross the Yellow River or not, it is always right to stick to Taihang Mountain, and staying in Luzhou and Zezhou can only wait for death. Li Yun wants to compete with Zhao Kuangyin for the world, this is the only strategy, but he ......

Luqiu Zhongqing was so helpless, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, Zhao Kuangyin really sent a lucky general! A few casual words made Li Yun suspicious and gave up the excellent marching plan.

I'm afraid Zhao Zheng himself would not have thought that he would undoubtedly make such a great contribution.

Is it providence? Dead in Luzhou? Luqiu Zhongqing had a bad premonition in his heart, and when he wanted to persuade again, someone hurriedly came to report: "Gong Li, there is news of Zhao Zheng and Fu Li, there are signs that they are heading to Licheng, and it seems that they are planning to go east to Weizhou." ā€

"Li Cheng?" Li Yun frowned and said, "That's the boundary of the Northern Han Dynasty, it's really ......."

He originally thought that Zhao Zheng and the others would go south, and then catch it himself, but he didn't expect to go to the realm of the Northern Han Dynasty.

I had no choice but to go: "Inform Liu Jun and ask him to send someone to stop Zhao Zheng and Fu Li, and then break them into thousands of pieces." ā€

When the news reached Taipingyi, Liu Jun was excited and immediately sent Liu Jiye to Licheng to intercept it.

"Li Cheng?" After Liu Jiye heard the news, he couldn't help frowning, how could it be?

In Luzhou City, Han Wei also had the same expression, with Zhao Zheng's cleverness and caution, how could he be so careless? What about going to Weizhou so rashly?

Among them...... I'm afraid it's greasy!
