Liu Cong led the army all the way to the city of Jinyang, and the people outside Jinyang hid in the city, Liu Kun couldn't keep the city, and Liu Cong really couldn't do anything about him for a while.

Liu Kun himself can't fight, but he also has good generals under him. Ling Husheng is one of them, and with him, Liu Cong can't enter Jinyang for a while.

It's just that they don't have any extra troops to aid Liu Xi in Jizhou.

Pingyang's edicts came one after another, and Liu Cong learned that Zhao Hanzhang led a large army to force **Yang, even if he knew that she was encircling Wei to save Zhao, he could only lead his troops back to defense.

The hateful thing is that the position of the Shangdang is clearly more important, but she bypassed the Shangdang and only Chen Bing was outside Pingyang City.

And Shile only waited and saw that he did not send troops.

Liu Cong, like Liu Yuan, can't afford to gamble, once he loses Pingyang, the prestige of the Han Kingdom will be ruined.

Liu Cong only left a part of the soldiers and horses, and returned to the court.

He ran back to Pingyang with the army in a hurry, but because Liu Yi ran to the Zhao family army camp and couldn't send troops, Liu Cong was almost angry.

He didn't hide his anger and smashed everything in the house.

"General, the envoy has already set off, is it possible that our squad has come back just to negotiate peace?"

"Yes, General, this matter can't just be settled."

"If you want me to say, it doesn't matter who he is, it matters to take Zhao Hanzhang, if you can defeat her here, maybe you can take Luoyang."

"It's good to talk about this kind of delusion here, but not outside."

"Your Majesty is still covering up for the King of Beihai, saying that the King of Beihai is to relieve the predicament of Pingyang, otherwise the Zhao family army will attack at night before the general returns, but we went out for a walk, there is no enemy army within twenty miles outside the city, and there is no trace of the army stationed, what night attack, it is all nonsense! I don't know if Zhao Hanzhang deceived the Seventh Prince, or if the Seventh Prince deceived His Majesty? ”

"Okay, it's too late to say anything now, general, are we going to do nothing like this, let Zhao Hanzhang lead the nose?"

A cold light flashed in Liu Cong's eyes, "Zhao Hanzhang almost accepted the entire Sizhou, and the Central Plains were all in her hands, so Emperor Jin and Gou Xi didn't react at all?" ”

He clenched his fists and said coldly: "Send someone to Yuncheng with a heavy gift, since she can go straight to Pingyang County, we can also let her rear catch fire." ”

"Yes!"

Other ministers in the DPRK and China can tell Liu Yuan to give up Liu Yi, but the crown prince can't, and neither can Liu Cong.

Liu Yi is not only Liu Yuan's favorite son, but also the son of Queen Shan, and he is the son-in-law.

Liu Yuan admired Han rule, and although the ministers in the court did not like Han rule, they strongly recognized one point, that is, the primogeniture system.

So Liu He is the crown prince, because he is Liu Yuan's original match, and he is the eldest son.

After Liu He, Liu Yi is the second heir in line.

Seriously, Liu Cong doesn't think much of Liu He, the eldest brother, he thinks that his father doesn't look down on him either, if he can choose freely, Liu Yuan is afraid that he will choose Liu Yi.

Therefore, Liu Cong can't target the prince, nor can he target Liu Yi, Liu Yuan will be very unhappy.

The relationship between their father and son is actually not so deep, Liu Cong has a feeling that his father will kill him for the great cause, and he will also kill him for Liu Yi.

When Liu Cong had just chosen someone to go to Yuncheng, Wei Jue and Zhao Xin had already entered Jizhou.

They carefully bypassed Shile's sphere of influence, pretending to be a merchant traveler, and the Zhao family army escorting them all put away their armor, but their backs were straight, and their behavior was moderate, and they were not ordinary guards at first glance.

When they reached a fork in the road, everyone stopped, waiting for Wei Jue and Zhao Xin to choose their way.

Wei Jue unfolded a small map, compared it carefully, and then clicked somewhere and said: "We should be here, if we go west, we will be able to reach Zhongshan County in two days, Liu Xi is there, and Wang Jun's army is also outside Zhongshan County." ”

Zhao Xindao: "Then you have to pass through Changshan County, where most of it is occupied by the Xiongnu and Han States, although Liu Cong has retreated now, but there are many soldiers left, and now it is still in wartime, and the security along the way is heavy, I am afraid it is difficult for us to pass." ”

Wei Jue nodded, "So we have to take this road, it will take some more time, maybe four days." ”

It's a little around, but it's safe, and if you go faster, it's not impossible to get there in three days.

Wang Yu saw that they had been talking together for a long time, so he couldn't help but go up to look at it, and when he saw that the map was quite detailed, he asked, "I wanted to ask for a long time, where did this map come from?" ”

Zhao Shi, a half-grown boy who came up, immediately said proudly: "It was painted by my third brother-in-law." ”

Wang Yu: "Who is your third brother-in-law?" ”

Zhao Shi: ......

Zhao Shi glanced at him, "Fu Tinghan, my third brother-in-law!" ”

Zhao Xin on the side said with a smile: "Fu Shangshu is very powerful, he found out the descriptions of mountains, rivers and roads from some classic county records, and he can draw a rough map based on this." ”

The map that Taixue is drawing now is presided over by him and Uncle Cheng, and the small picture given to us now is only a part of the interception.

Speaking of this, Zhao Xin had to admire Fu Tinghan's brain, without comparing the map, he was able to draw a small picture just by memory.

Along the way, he compared with Wei Jue, and the difference between the actual and the map was only about two points, and he wrote down the discrepancies and handed them over to Fu Tinghan for correction.

Wei Jue accepted the map and said, "Then let's go from the east road." ”

And they got down and got on their horses, and turned to the east.

They felt that it was safer to go east, but who knew that in less than half a day, they were confronted by a chaotic army.

The oncoming soldiers lost their armor, their hair was scattered, and they were not in formation, and they looked like a rout.

Zhao Xin was startled when he saw it, and immediately ordered: "Quickly go to the mountain to hide!" ”

But the speed of the rout was not slow, and they soon collided head-on, and saw that Zhao Xin and others had cars and horses, and the back cars were covered with tarpaulin, and a lot of boxes were tied, and it looked like a rich business traveler.

The eyes of the routs lit up, and they rushed up to rob them.

Wei Jue's face turned pale, and he said: "Cut the rope and raise the property on the car, it is important to save people first!" ”

Zhao Shi is unwilling to give up, the third sister is so poor, these are all property to be given to Wang Jun, if they lose it, where can they find so many treasures to bribe Wang Jun?

He snatched his spear from the guards, directly ordered the soldiers, and said loudly: "You are waiting to meet the enemy with me, but it is just a group of small deserters, is my Zhao family army still afraid of them?" ”

The soldiers "drank", drew their knives from the car, and quickly lined up behind Zhao Shi.

Zhao Xin and the others ran all the way up the mountain, turning back all the way.

Zhao Shi only glanced back, and said loudly: "Brother Clan, don't worry, I will cut off the queen for you, you and Gongzi Wei are envoys, you can't have anything!" ”

He shouted at Wang Yu: "General Zhonglang, the mission will be handed over to you!" ”

Wang Yu also became serious, answered, and led people to escort the carriage and belongings up the mountain to avoid trouble.

Zhao Shi led people to block their way up the mountain, staring at the rebels who were getting closer and closer.
