The next day, when the morning dawned, the sky was just dawning.

In addition to leaving a tun of soldiers to garrison, nearly a thousand Qin troops had already packed up and began to prepare for the westward march.

Zhao Tuo stood at the west gate of the township, watching that Shima had already led most of the cavalry to set off, and behind it, the foot soldiers also began to wear armor and start marching with spears and halberds.

"Chen Ping...... I didn't expect this guy to be from Humu Township."

Zhao Tuo looked back, looked at Zhang Ying's father and son who were nodding behind him, and couldn't help sighing.

Yesterday, he was also surprised that Zhang Cheng, an old man in the township, could keenly smell the opportunity and smoothly change the court, but when he inquired, he found that the mastermind of this matter was actually Zhang Cheng's grandson-in-law, Chen Ping.

"It was all the idea that Ping gave us before leaving, and he said that the destruction of Wei was inevitable. Even if Wei Bao leads his army to the west successfully this time, at most, it will make Wei State survive for a long time, and when the Qin army presses the border again, Wei will still die."

"So he instructed us that no matter when, as long as the Qin army comes, we must immediately fight the situation and help seize the township, so that the family can be preserved."

When he said this last night, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but feel complacent and made fun of his son Zhang Zhong.

"In the past, I thought that this Chen Ping was beautiful when he grew up, and he would have a future in the future, and I wanted to give him my daughter and grandson. You also said that his family was poor and didn't do anything, and the county laughed at what he did, thinking that I was crazy to marry my daughter and grandson to him, and lent him coins as a dowry. Now you know what I mean. This son can save the lives of my whole people!"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhong didn't dare to refute, and hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Only, only, only, what Ah Weng said is."

Although the Zhang family sent more than 1,000 people and grain and grass to support Wei Bao, it was a helpless move after all, and now it is in time to help the Qin army seize the township and ***.

Zhao Tuo naturally wouldn't embarrass them, not to mention that the future prime minister of the Han Dynasty was also involved.

"Chen Ping's wife, who is said to be quite beautiful, married five times, and as a result, all five husbands died."

"I heard that the first husband didn't even enter the wedding room, but because he drank too much at the wedding banquet, he broke his head and died on the spot.

What Zhao Tuo was thinking about was this lace news that later generations would talk about, but he was not the kind of person Wei Bao, and he would not be rude enough to go to see someone else's wife.

"Zhang Jun, please get in the car, this pursuit is going to trouble you."

Zhao Tuo smiled at Chen Ping's father-in-law, Zhang Zhong.

Zhang Zhong said with a bitter face, "Zhong, obey the general's orders."

Zhang Zhong got into the car and said goodbye to his father Zhang Cheng in tears.

Seeing this, Zhao Tuo did not delay any longer, got into another chariot, and began to lead the army.

At this moment, Huan Zhao in Chen Liucheng saw Yang Xiong, who rushed to Chen Liuyu to report the military situation in person.

"That's it, please also ask Commander Zuo to send troops immediately to meet Zhao Tuo."

After listening to Yang Xiong's words, Huan Zhao fell into deep thought.

The news that the Hanoi army was attacked by the Wei army under the city of Jiyang and suffered a tragic defeat was very shocking, and if it spread, it would definitely cause turmoil in the newly occupied Wei cities of the Qin army, and many Wei people who were secretly anti-against would definitely take advantage of this to cause trouble.

But compared to this news, what really surprised Huan Zhao was the speculation of Zhao Tuo and others.

Judging from the military literacy accumulated by Huan Zhao over the years, Zhao Tuo's guess is very reasonable.

The Wei army marched westward and took the heart of the Qin state, thus attracting the Wang Ben army under the city of Daliang and giving the king of Wei in the city a chance to breathe.

And, Xingyang!

Huan Zhao's eyes flashed with a gleam, he who had just been burned by Wei Bao was very sensitive to grain and grass.

He just knew that on the route of the Wei army's westward advance, there was a city where the Qin army was storing grain.

If Wei Bao raided Xingyang and burned the grain and grass of the Qin army, then everything would be over this time to attack Wei.

Thinking of this, Huan Zhao was not only shocked, but also excited and excited.

Opportunity!

This is exactly the military merit that he lacks if he wants to be promoted to the right commander!

Huan Zhao couldn't help but think of him at the beginning

The words spoken when appointing the officers under his command.

Zhao Tuo, with you under my command, I will definitely be able to establish a great achievement when I go to Wei Di this time!

Now this word is about to be fulfilled!

"I didn't expect this Zhao boy to be a lucky general, when he was under my command, he had a great victory in Yishui, and let me be promoted from the fifth doctor to the left chief."

"Later, when I entered the Yan Land, Zhao Tuo was transferred to a short army by General Li, and then as soon as he left, I never took credit for the battle of Yan again."

Huan Zhao's eyes became brighter and brighter, and his thinking became more and more metaphysical.

"Because Zhao Tuo was a short soldier for General Li, General Li made a giant cannon to capture Jicheng, and then made a detour to intercept and kill the fleeing Minister of Yan and captured Yan Dan. Among them, whether it was a giant cannon or a strategy of interception, Zhao Tuo came up with it, and then General Li listened to his words, and he really made meritorious service and was promoted to knighthood."

"Then after I led the army to Weidi, he successively won Xiao Huang and Wai Huang, which also brought me a lot of credit."

The more Huan Zhao thought about it, the more excited he became, and the more he thought about it, the more it made sense, and he felt that he had discovered the secret of his promotion.

Especially today, Zhao Tuo has made another great achievement.

Thinking of this, Huan Zhao stood up with a "snap", which frightened Yang Xiong.

"Your decision is right, but you have to prevent the enemy from trying to go south, so you should hurry back to Waihuang to ensure the safety of this city. I will report the military situation to General Wang, and then summon Chen Liu's soldiers to go west to meet Zhao Tuo."

After sending Yang Xiong away, Huan Zhao summoned his henchmen and instructed, "You should go to General Daliang as soon as possible and report the news that the Hanoi army was defeated by the Wei army under Jiyang City."

"According to my speculation, it is very likely that the army led by Wei Bao wants to take Xingyang westward, burn my grain and grass, and ask General Wang to be on guard. I will lead an army to pursue this Wei army, and I will not let the other party's conspiracy succeed."

"Yui."

According to the rules of the Qin army, the henchman recorded Huan Zhao's military intelligence report on the silk book, and then immediately walked out of the main hall and prepared to go to Daliang.

Huan Zhao squinted and watched his cronies walk out.

The credit for his promotion to the knighthood has fallen.

At this time, south of Yangwu County, the Wei army and Yangwu County were across the river.

"Childe, are we going to cross the river and attack the city?"

A general reported to Wei Bao.

"Crossing the river? What kind of river to cross, our army continues to march westward, and accelerate its march!"

Wei Bao laughed, he was afraid that the news of their attack on Xingyang would be leaked, so he had always claimed that he was attacking Yangwu County, but now that he is in the place, he doesn't need to hide it anymore.

The general departed with a look of surprise on his face.

Wei Bao looked at Zhou Shi, who was contemplative on the side, and said, "General Zhou, now that our army is less than two hundred miles away from Xingyang, if you rush to march, you will be able to arrive in a few days and make a great achievement, what are you still worried about?"

Zhou Shi looked up and looked in the direction of Humu Township to the east.

"I have previously ordered that the soldiers of Humu Township should come every other day as soon as possible to report the information from the rear. But now, except for the first day, not even a single soldier who reported the news has been seen, and something is wrong with this."

When Wei Bao heard this, he laughed and said, "I see that your General Zhou is thinking too much, you must know that although the soldier who reported the news came quickly, we were also marching for days, and every day of marching, the soldier who came to report the news had to run an extra distance, and if there was rain on the road, it would be normal for a few days at night?"

Zhou Shi glanced at Wei Bao in surprise, but he didn't expect this son to have some brains.

He nodded, suppressing the uneasiness in his heart.

And at this moment, fifty miles behind the Wei army, there was a Qin army of about 1,000 people rushing rapidly.
