Zhao Hede looked at the Yongguo infantry phalanx who had nowhere to speak, his face twitched, he shook the reins, and then ordered: "Let's go to Shanwu City!" ”

Qin Ke looked at the mighty Ji Guo cavalry in the retreat, raised the horsewhip, pointed at it from afar, and said with a smile: "Brave and gutless, you can escape fast enough." ”

The generals and soldiers of the Yongjun army who were surrounded heard Qin Ke's laughter and scolding, and they all laughed.

In the mocking laughter of the Yongjun, Zhao Hede fled into Shanwu City with less than 20,000 cavalry and 40,000 foot soldiers left.

Zhao Jue stood at the city gate with a respectful face, and when Zhao Hede entered the city, he bowed respectfully and said, "Welcome to the county guard." ”

Standing behind Zhao Yu at this moment, it was none other than Lin Zongsui, a young general under Qin Ke, Lin Chong's son was indeed a master of art and bold, he personally invited Ying, with more than 5,000 soldiers from Yunzhong County, and stayed in Shanwu City as a response.

Zhao Hede sat on the horse, waved his hand to Zhao Yu, and then turned over and dismounted with difficulty, riding for a long time, his inner thigh was already aching, it should have worn out the skin.

Zhao Yu hurriedly stepped forward, helped Zhao Hede, who almost fell, and asked with concern, "Brother clan, are you okay?" ”

In terms of seniority, Zhao Hede is worthy of Zhao Jue's "clan brother". He didn't refuse Zhao Yu's support, shook his head, and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that I rode a horse for a long time and scratched my skin." ”

As soon as Zhao Hede looked up, he saw Lin Zongsui standing there, and asked with a puzzled expression: "Xiaoling, is this the general under your command?" Why are you so face-to-face? ”

Zhao Yu listened to Zhao Hede's question, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly said the words he had thought of in advance, only to see his respectful face like a Sichuan drama changing face, and instantly changed to a sad look, and whimpered: "Brother clan, do you know, although the city is said to be the main general of the younger brother, but this cavalry master has his own faction, and he is a yang and yin to the younger brother on weekdays. This time, the younger brother just asked him to bring 5,000 men and horses to drive the Yongguo cavalry away. But unexpectedly, the cavalry commander agreed very well on his face, and took all the cavalry out of the city when he turned around. When the younger brother learned the news, he was afraid that the cavalry would lose, so he hurriedly ordered the foot soldiers to go out of the city to support. Unexpectedly, there are so many Yongjun troops, they surrounded the cavalry and foot soldiers respectively, and attacked with all their might. If it weren't for the fact that there was such a powerful general among the foot soldiers, I am afraid that this Shanwu City would belong to Yongguo at this time. ”

Zhao Hede didn't expect that there would be such twists and turns, and he couldn't help but look at Lin Zongsui twice. How did he know that his Xiaoyu brother, in order to take out his guilt, put the responsibility for the defeat of the army on the chief cavalry general of Shanwucheng who had already died in battle.

Lin Zongsui saw that Zhao Hede frequently paid attention to him, and hurriedly stepped forward respectfully and said, "Lin Zongsui of Pingshu County pays a visit to the general. ”

Lin Zongsui's Daijun accent surprised Zhao Hede, and he couldn't help asking, "Are you from Daijun?" Why did you run away to Yanmen County to be a soldier? ”

Lin Zongsui looked like a young man's blood, his voice was excited, and he said loudly: "Yanmen County is the northern gateway of my Hebei country, and it has been infested by grassland peoples such as the Bade all the year round. ”

Lin Zongsui's rhetoric, Zhao Hede said with a smile on his face, like a blooming chrysanthemum, he said three "good words" in a row, and said happily: "Good!" Good! All right! If all the young people of my country are like you, why worry that I can't prosper? ”

Zhao Yu stood next to him, listening to the conversation between the two, not only the corners of his mouth twitched, but even his heart twitched, and the whole person was nauseous, I really don't know what Zhao Hede's reaction would be when he knew that the young man in front of him was the general of the Yongjun army? Will you be as happy as you are now? It shouldn't be, I guess I want to die by then.

Zhao Yu took a step forward and took Zhao Hede back to his mansion, waiting until everyone was seated in the mansion. Zhao Jue bowed to Zhao Hede, who was sitting on the top, and asked: "Brother clan, now I have nearly 70,000 people in Shanwu City, and the city defense of Shanwu City is strong, even if there are 200,000 thieves here, the younger brother is not afraid." ”

Zhao Hede was not as optimistic as Zhao Yu, he looked at the people sitting on the ground in the hall, and said in a gloomy tone: "This Yong thief is not ordinary, as far as its cavalry is concerned, it has been able to reach the level of the standard grassland cavalry, just this time, I lost nearly 20,000 people in the cavalry, which shows the difficulty of this Yong thief." Shanwu City is the western barrier of my Yanmen County, to the north, to support the defenders of the border wall; To the east, it is the western gateway of Wuzhou City; To the south, it is the passage of Fenchuan County, so there is no city to lose. ”

Zhao Jue agreed with Zhao Hede's words, nodded, and said: "That's right, clan brother, the army has been fighting with the enemy for a long time today, and it is already exhausted, so tonight there will be Lin Zongsui on duty with the defenders in the city." When the army recovers its strength tomorrow, it's not too late to defend the city. It's getting late today, and if this thief wants to attack the city, he has to do it tomorrow. ”

Zhao Hede listened to Zhao Yu's words and felt that it made sense, and he led the army to come to support non-stop, not to mention the hardships of the march, and the subsequent war exhausted the physical strength of his army. If the army wants to defend the city, it must first recover its strength.

Zhao Hede calmly accepted Zhao Yu's suggestion, he looked at the young Lin Zongsui, and said with a smile: "Tonight's safety will be handed over to General Lin, I hope General Lin will not let me down." ”

When Lin Zongsui heard this, he hurriedly got up, bowed and saluted: "The last general thanks the county guard and General Zhao for their trust!" The last general will live up to the trust of the two adults! ”

In this way, Zhao Hede, who was kept in the dark, handed over the city defense matters to Lin Zongsui and the more than 5,000 Yunzhong soldiers under his command. Zhao Yu was escorted by a group of about 100 Yunzhong soldiers and returned to his room.

Zhao Hede has long known the character of his clan brother, that is, he is as timid as a mouse, and he uses more than a hundred people to protect his safety, which is completely in line with his character.

When night fell, Lin Zongsui pressed the handle of the knife with his hand, his eyes were blazing, and under the illumination of the firelight, he exuded a terrifying light and was full of brilliance.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps, and from not far away, a Lin family general wearing the armor of the Ji State walked over, he came to Lin Zongsui, bowed and saluted: "Young General, everything is ready." ”

Lin Zongsui heard the report, nodded, and said, "Let's start, I said it, I won't disappoint the two generals Zhao, I can't break my word." ”

Lin Zongsui said as he pulled out the ring knife at his waist, with a cruel smile on his face.
