No. 458 Tune the Tiger from the Mountain (1st Shift)

Zhao Chen looked at the ghost-faced general, this seemed to be a righteous person.

If there was no Ghost Face General, the final outcome of Youning in his previous life would have been to be sent to Xiliang and his relatives by his father to keep the Great Zhou. In this life, it is still the ghost-faced general who protects Youning.

He really wanted to tell the ghost-faced general King Xiliang about his intentions against Youning, and since he was a peerless martial artist, he went to stab King Xiliang to prevent future troubles.

But he wasn't sure if General Ghostface would be so desperate if it was for Youning.

Zhao Chen said, "Even if it's for Da Zhou, Lone should thank you."

The ghost-faced general sneered, "The prince better take care of himself first, and he will leave here and return to the border city in two days. War waits for no one."

"It doesn't take two days to leave today." Zhao Chen said, and propped up the bed to get up.

With this action, the internal organs twisted in pain, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on Zhao Chen's forehead.

Zhao Chengyuan pressed his hand on his shoulder and pressed him back to the bed, "You toss and die again, I don't have any medicine here to save you."

When Zhao Chen saw the majesty of his body, he felt that his lofty momentum was natural, and he did not soften in front of him, the prince. If it were just an ordinary general, I am afraid it would be difficult to do this.

Even if an ordinary military general has a rebellious heart and does not put the prince in his eyes, it is difficult for him to have this kind of momentum.

He asked tentatively, "Are you from the royal family?" Which uncle or cousin is Lone?"

Zhao Chengyuan leaned slightly, staring at him dangerously and said, "Since the prince is so curious, it doesn't hurt for me to take off this mask. It's just that anyone who has seen the true face of the ghost-faced general will have to die."

Zhao Chen said, "So far, the only person who can talk to Gu like this is Uncle Seven Emperors. But Uncle Seven Emperors can't be wrong in Xiangping Mansion."

He closed his eyes wearily, "Lone doesn't ask anymore. Lonely will be raised for another day, and tomorrow he will be able to return to the border city."

Zhao Chengyuan walked out of the stone house with his hands in his hand, looked at the opposite mountain in the courtyard for a moment, and went out with a bow on his back.

Half an hour later, Zhao Chengyuan came back with a pheasant and a hare, and threw them to the guards in the courtyard, "Peeled and stewed."

In addition to Zhao Chengyuan and Zhao Chen, there are only two guards and one military doctor here, so the work of chopping wood and cooking rice is done by the guards.

The two guards stewed a pot of pheasants, a pot of rabbits, and two side dishes.

They put the food on the table in front of Zhao Chengyuan, "General, you use it."

Zhao Chengyuan only left a dish of green vegetables and a bowl of chicken, "Send it to the room."

The guard was not happy, "General, just give him the leftovers. How can he come first?"

Zhao Chengyuan raised his eyes and looked at them lightly.

The two guards were instantly stunned and went to the stone house with their meals.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you can eat and drink well, hurry up and get better, don't let down our general's wishes. Our general, the first hunt is for you!"

The spoon in the guard's hand jingled, and he scooped a spoonful of chicken soup and reluctantly fed it to Zhao Chen's mouth.

Zhao Chen heard the conversation outside, he couldn't move, he could only let the guards feed him spoonful after spoonful.

On the second day, Zhao Chen insisted on leaving.

Zhao Chengyuan didn't insist anymore, and asked the guards to make a light stretcher and carry Zhao Chen out of the mountain.

At noon that day, Zhao Chen was sent back to Qingyun Pass.

The guards put him down and left.

A few days on horseback Xiao Xiao left.

By the time the soldiers on the walls arrived, they were long gone.

Zhao Chen was happily carried back to the camp by the soldiers, and he found that there were many more soldiers in the camp.

He asked Lu Bing, "Reinforcements from the Liangchuan battalion have arrived?"

Lu Bing's face was expressionless, "It's fifty thousand."

Zhao Chen's eyes were cold, "Fifty thousand, it can be regarded as a generous father. If it weren't for the arrival of General Ghostface at the end, the entire northwest would be from Xiliang now."

An Linghou smiled and said, "It's better to come than not to come, it didn't work this time, won't it come in handy next time?"

He helped Zhao Chen put the pillow on the table

Put it away, "Your Highness lie down first, and let the military doctor help you check it well." The spies reported two days ago that about 50,000 Southwest Army had arrived in the hinterland of Xiliang, and there were still soldiers and horses arriving one after another, so the Xiliang Army withdrew 100,000 soldiers and horses. Next, let's wait for the good news from the Southwest Army."

An Linghou's reverence for the prince has reached a new height, and the prince is really desperate to defend the northwest.

Although his father is hateful, he is just a son who pays off his father's debts, and the two offset each other!

Thinking like this, An Linghou squeezed away Wei Xiao, who was in tears, and intimately supported the prince's back with one hand and his head with the other, and carefully helped him to lie down.

Zhao Chen frowned, looked at An Linghou and wanted to help him remove the cloth on the wound again, and stopped, "Just let the military doctor come for a while, An Linghou should talk about the business first."

An Linghou stopped his hand and replied in a loud voice, "Okay, good."

Zhao Chen said, "From Jianzhou to the hinterland of Xiliang, the mountain road is difficult to travel, and it will take at least ten days to reach it. The march of the army was even more slow, and it took at least half a month for all 50,000 soldiers and horses to arrive. When the Xiliang army can be transferred, it will be less than 12 days, and the time for the spies to report it will be added."

He looked at An Linghou and Lu Bing, "Don't you think it's unreasonable?"

Lu Bing said in a deep voice, "The minister also has this doubt, but the spies did see the military flag of the Southwest Army. The minister has sent someone to re-investigate, and he has not yet returned."

As he was talking, Shi Liangzhong, the head of the Prince's Mansion, came back.

When he came in, he rushed to the bed, knelt on the ground, and looked at Zhao Chen, who was covered in blood-stained cloth, "Prince! You...... How did you get hurt like this?"

Zhao Chen said lightly, "It is inevitable that you will be injured when you kill the enemy on the battlefield. You're back just in time, tell me, what's going on with the Southwest Army?"

Where is this little injury? Everyone is tied up into rice dumplings!

Liang Zhong calmed down his emotions and said, "I am good at my position and advocate going to the camp in Jianzhou to ask for help from the prince of Dingguo, and the prince should send 100,000 troops to the righteous state. He was not at ease, so he followed the army all the way until they reached the city of Geduo in Xiliang."

Speaking of this, he was ashamed, "It's a lowly and narrow-minded person, and when he saw that the prince promised happily, he felt a little bottomless in his heart. It is really a matter of great importance, and I am afraid that the prince of the world will only respond in vain, or only symbolically send a few thousand soldiers and horses."

Zhao Chen said, "You can rest assured that the character and mind of the prince of Dingguo, when will the army assemble in Geduo?"

"July 13. When we arrived, Gedo had already been occupied, and the other side had 50,000 soldiers and horses, under the banner of the Southwestern Army. Shizi went to inquire and met the ghost-faced general. When he left, General Ghostface hadn't left yet, but the Xiliang army had already arrived, and the two armies were already fighting."

"Ghost-faced general?"

Zhao Chen and An Linghou's father and son were surprised in unison.

Lu Bing said, "A few days ago, there were as many as 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers and horses supporting the border city, where did General Ghost Face still have 50,000 soldiers and horses to go to Geduo to transfer the tiger away from the mountain? If he had more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, why did he bother to rush around on both sides of the border city of Cizhou before? The Xiliang army has already been wiped out!"

Zhao Chen frowned.

He couldn't figure it out either. More than 100,000 soldiers and horses are not something that ordinary people can afford, nor can they be easily hidden.

This person's mind is really treacherous, and his ability is really terrifying.

Who the hell is he?
