Ji Hu was not complacent because of Rong Yi's praise for himself, but was preoccupied: "I, Hehe Zongzhou, can't count on the opponent's infighting!" It is still necessary to enrich the country and strengthen the army, so as to achieve long-term peace and stability. Do you have any plans, sir?"

Rong Yi bowed solemnly and said, "Enlighten my king, the minister already has some ideas about this, but it still needs empirical evidence and deep reflection before it can take shape. I beg my king to give my ministers a certain period of time, and they will surely be able to hand over a set of long-term strategies for governing the country and strengthening the army, and submit them to my king for approval."

"Okay, how about March?" Ji Hu was very eager.

"March is too long, my king is eager to seek treatment, and the situation is not waiting for me, so let's take one month!" Rong Yi said angrily.

"Good! It's just a month, and I'm waiting for Mr. Anguo's clever plan." Ji Hu clapped excitedly.

E Kun and his entourage stayed overnight, and finally rushed to the upper reaches of the Han River when the apricot blossoms were blooming. Looking at the bifurcated official road in front of them, everyone looked at Eshizikun, which one should they take?

Choose this road in Wangdong to go directly back to the hometown of Echeng, which is also the most convenient and fastest road. If it is ordinary, everyone will not hesitate to look east, but this way is disguised and hidden, although he doesn't say it, but who doesn't know that the prince is afraid of the assassination of that Mrs. Yi? Will there be an ambush of Assassins along this road?

Eshizi Kun raised his horsewhip, pointed to the road in Wangxi, and said without hesitation: "Wangxi, let's not go back to Echeng, go straight to Tonglu Mountain, and join my uncle's army!"

"Ahh One of the staff members in the audience shouted: "The prince is really scheming! When we get to the general's camp, that woman can't help us anymore!"

"Let's—"

As soon as the whip was raised, countless flying hooves stepped on the smoke and dust, which could not be dispersed for a long time--------

Although Ejun's surprise attack on Tonglu Mountain was a surprise, it would be a vicious battle, because Tonglu Mountain is an important place in the national lineage, and Suiguo has a total of 10,000 troops deployed around it all year round. He didn't want the battle to go on so easily, which was also a big surprise to him.

Originally, in that era, gold referred to copper, which could be used to cast sacrificial vessels, weapons and arrowheads, and gold cakes and various copper coins used in circulation. The amount of copper a country has determines to a certain extent what the country's national strength is. Tonglu Mountain is the most abundant copper place in the world, which is equivalent to a huge gold mountain, how can this 10,000 defenders guard such a gold mountain all year round?

At first, some bold officers took the opportunity of the inspection to secretly take two pieces of them from the cart transporting copper cakes, and then went to the market to sell them privately. Later, it turned out to be a blatant demand, and a car of copper had to be handed over at least one-tenth of the kickback. Most of this huge amount of money went into the pockets of the generals; Ordinary soldiers can also get a piece of the pie. Although you can't buy land and buy concubines like high-ranking generals, and the singer waits for her children, she can marry a wife, right?

Such an army has long been soaked in wine, and in addition, he went to Haojing with the marquis to pay respects, and there is no one to govern it. In the face of the 30,000 iron horsemen of Hubei who suddenly fell from the sky, there was only fart and urine left, crying dad and calling mother? Where is the heart to defend against the enemy?

It is also ridiculous to say that the Tonglu Mountain is the national vein of the Great Zhou, and at this time, it seems that it has become a piece of fat that Hubei and the two countries compete for, and even the soldiers at the bottom can take such a small bite. The reason why the amount of copper transported to the Zhou Chamber is decreasing year by year is that the layers of exploitation are the most important reasons. Regardless of whether Tonglu Mountain belongs to Hubei or Sui, as long as it is not under the direct control of the Zhou royal family, such a thing is unavoidable.

Since it was a surprise attack, the soldiers were so fast, as soon as E Jun came to Tonglu Mountain, the 30,000 infantry troops he brought were overwhelmed by the sound of horns that resounded throughout the field. The long arrows sent out by the rows of strong crossbows poured down like a storm.

The army was still in a panic in the trench to dodge, and the trench cars rumbled and pressed on the top of their heads, and the sword, shield, and spear phalanx immediately pressed by Hessesen, and the pace was like a burst of heavy thunder, and the three steps and one shout were like a mountain and a tsunami, and its fierce murderous spirit made the army collapse before jumping out of the trench and arranging the formation.

Stepping over the camp of the army, the Hubei army did not stop for a moment. After lowering the two stone bridges that the army did not think of dismantling, the countless trench cars of the Hubei army were paved into the river in rows, and three wide and strong pontoon bridges were erected in an hour. All kinds of crossbow equipment rumble

After driving, Kankan spread out at the foot of the copper green mountain, and the infantry horse team roared over, and surrounded the copper green mountain on all sides in half a day.

After a terrible trumpet, E Jun personally went out and shouted to the defenders of the arrow tower at the bottom of the mountain: "Within half an hour, if you wait, you can protect the rest of the life of everyone in Tonglu Mountain!" If you don't, then the jade will be burned, and you will be to blame!"

The top of the patina mountain was as silent as death, and only the roar of the Hubei army Sima shouted the time echoed.

Just when the flag of Ejun's attack was raised high and was about to be split, a white flag rose from the arrow tower on the mountainside, and the mountain gate rumbled open. The 10,000 defenders of Tonglu Mountain came out of the camp in a dejected manner under the leadership of their general, and knelt down in front of Ejun.

"You're still a good acquaintance!" E Jun sneered very contemptuously and said.

It is precisely because it is very easy to attack Tonglu Mountain, and it is easy to make E Jun have a strong sense of unsteadiness in his heart. It wasn't until E Shizikun came to the camp uninvited that E Jun felt a little more at ease.

After roughly recounting the events of this battle, E Jun rubbed his hands and asked, "Shizi, you see, this Copper Green Mountain is so easy to come by, don't there be any traps behind you?"

"What's the catch?" E Kun smiled: "Uncle is a sneak attack this time, since it is taking advantage of people's unpreparedness, it is easy to get it, what's the wonder? It's easy to get and hard to keep, and the next thing is my uncle's challenge."

"Oh?" E Jun suddenly came to his senses: "How do you say this?"

"The little nephew left Haojing only after receiving a secret letter, thinking that the news that Tonglu Mountain has been occupied by our army has now been reported to the palace, and King Zhou will definitely react. Even if the Eighth Division of Chengzhou does not come out, it will also move on the north flank, echoing the counterattack of Suiguo. At this time, the marquis is on his way home, and he will definitely raise a national army to pounce on our army, intending to recapture the Tonglu Mountain. A big war is inevitable, so my uncle must be prepared!"

"Don't worry, my brother said that once a big war is about to start, he will also lead more than 100,000 troops to help. As for Kui Duoyou, there is a Huaiyi tribe dragging his legs, and he is not able to go south. The one I am worried about is that I am a general with a weak army of 30,000 horses and horses, and there is no wisdom and bravery. What am I afraid of? Hahaha--------"
