Chen Chao set off overnight, chasing after the large army, and left in a hurry.

His 5,000 "Changsheng Army" was temporarily incorporated into Zhou Mi's large army, and he marched rapidly towards Yunzhou.

The geographical location of Yunzhou is very special, located in the southwest corner of the Age map, at the junction of the Three Kingdoms.

To the north of Yunzhou, it is the territory of Qin.

To the south, across the dangerous river, is the state of Chu.

In the territory of Yunzhou, there are many mountains and the terrain is extremely complex.

Due to the distance from the Great Age Kingdom, the Great Machine's control over there is very weak, and there is almost no sense of existence.

In addition, ten years ago, the imperial courts of various countries joined forces to hunt down the warriors of the rivers and lakes and slaughtered them on a large scale, and the warriors had no way out, and most of them fled to the dangerous land of Yunzhou, where they occupied the mountains as kings and established sects.

The local government sent troops to clear it several times, but with little success.

In the past, although there were bandits in Yunzhou, it would never make such a big fuss.

This time, the bandits in Yunzhou were so fierce because of the ghosts that Chu State was doing in the back.

But Daji clearly knew in his heart that Chu Guo was making ghosts in the back but there was nothing to do, and now the top priority was to quell the bandits and subdue the absolute control of Yunzhou.

A few days ago, an 800-mile urgent military report came, saying that the defense line around Sanjiashan - Zhennanguan was lost, and this defense line was one of the last three lines of defense from Yunzhou to the hinterland of Daji.

Starting from the suppression of bandits, the imperial court set up a total of eight defense lines in Yunzhou, which was intended to divide the Yunzhou mountain bandits into pieces by means of the defense line, and then surround them, break them one by one, and completely subdue Yunzhou.

Who knew that the defense line had not yet been established, and the mountain bandits, with the support of the Chu State, attacked the soldiers of Daji.

For more than a year, the first five lines of defense have been lost, and only three lines of defense remain.

If the last three lines of defense are lost again, the bandits will dominate the territory of Yunzhou and begin to march towards the hinterland of Daji.

The reason why Emperor Yongxing was in a hurry to give the order to rush to the aid of Yunzhou was that one of the last three lines of defense had already fallen into the hands of the enemy, and the remaining two would not last long.

Yunzhou needs Zhou Mi, the old general, to sit in charge and preside over the overall situation!

Chen Chao had to get involved in this troubled water, he was gambling.

Not only is he gambling, but Emperor Yongxing is also gambling!

The two of them are gambling their lives!

Emperor Yongxing is young, has means and courage.

It was impossible for him to watch the Chen Dynasty get involved in military power.

The reason why it was agreed that the Chen Dynasty would recruit troops and rush to the aid of Yunzhou.

Maybe in the emperor's heart, he was thinking that his father would die on the battlefield of Yunzhou one day.

As soon as the Chen Dynasty died, Emperor Yongxing was dominant!

……

"Stinky girl, what are you doing here? This is to go to Yunzhou to fight, not to go to your hometown of Ningjiawan to revisit! ”

Chen Chao rode on a tall horse and looked at Ning Baizhi, who was also riding a horse beside him.

Ning Baizhi disguised herself as a man and mixed in the team, acting as the personal guard of the Chen Dynasty.

"I'm just going to fight, I heard that I have killed a lot of enemy soldiers and have meritorious deeds, maybe I can make a marquis as a marquis!"

This year.

There are only two kinds of status changes.

Imperial examinations and wars!

The imperial examination is a matter for scholars, and it has nothing to do with her.

Ning Baizhi wants to fight, kill a few more people, save some merits, and become a marquis.

Of course, this is just her excuse.

She just can't do without Chen Chao, she wants to see Chen Chao every day when she opens her eyes.

"Well, just follow it......"

Chen Chao would say a few words a few days ago to get rid of Ning Baizhi, but he didn't bother to talk about it anymore in the past few days.

Because he found an opportunity to completely subdue the Ning family, Ning Baizhi was one of the most critical moves.

Ning Baizhi went out alone with the army, how could her sister-loving brother Ning Baiying rest assured, so she took a few Ning family experts and secretly mixed in the ranks of the army as the leader.

Chen Chao believed that in the next few months of getting along day and night, he, Chen Chao, would definitely be able to conquer these Ning family members with his personality charm and make them loyal to him.

……

Turning his head to look at the five thousand soldiers behind him, Chen Chao was at a loss in his heart.

These 5,000 men have only been trained for two months, and they are carefully selected from 12,000 people, and although each of them has mastered the basic essentials of being a soldier, they are still far from being able to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy in the sand.

"Well, let's temper it on the battlefield, it's a horse or a mule, just pull it out and slip it out......"

In addition, before the army set off, it also deliberately pulled hundreds of truckloads of war supplies from Qingshan County.

The supplies were covered with tarpaulins, and no one knew what was inside.

At night, the army temporarily stopped to rest, but this time will be very short, and the army needs to rush to the Yunzhou battlefield as quickly as possible.

"General, Marshal Zhou is invited." When he was eating cakes around the bonfire, Chen Chao was temporarily called by Zhou Mi to go to the Chinese army's tent.

The marshal of the army this time was served by Zhou Mi, because the Chen Dynasty did not have any experience in war, so he was just a general under Zhou Mi, who was on call, and could not reveal the identity of the prime minister in front of outsiders.

Chen Chao took a few personal guards, followed the soldiers, and rushed all the way to the big tent of the Chinese army.

As soon as he entered, he saw the white-haired and white-bearded Zhou Mi wearing armor, his helmet temporarily put aside, and the old marshal standing in front of a map, frowning.

Seeing Chen Chao come in, Zhou Mi came back to his senses.

"Sit."

Chen Chao hugged his helmet and sat down obediently.

Zhou Mi pointed to the map and said in a hoarse voice: "General Chen, what do you think of the current situation in Yunzhou?" ”

Chen Chao looked at the map, did not hide it, and directly expressed his opinion:

"It's hard! Yunzhou has become a mess of porridge, and among the bandits in Yunzhou, there are many regular troops smuggled by the Chu State, they are well-trained, and they have been premeditated, this will be a protracted war. ”

"Yes......" Zhou Mi sighed, holding the corner of the table with both hands weakly, and sat down slowly, "Yunzhou, it's a dead end!" When our reinforcements arrive, the defense line around the Iron Box Pass - Mangshan Mountain will be flattened by bandits, and we only have the last line of defense left. ”

"Zhou Feng, where is Marshal Zhou, where is it now?" Chen Chao asked.

Zhou Feng is Zhou Mi's son-in-law, and when he suppressed bandits, he was commanded by Zhou Feng, but unfortunately he commanded poorly.

The more bandits are suppressed, the more they are suppressed.

Zhou Mi raised his eyes and pointed to a place on the map, "In Pingyi City, he has withdrawn here with tens of thousands of horses, and this will be the last pass for bandits to enter the hinterland of my Daji." Sanqianxia - Pingyi City - Yongguan is our last line of defense in Yunzhou. ”

When Chen Chao heard this, his brows furrowed.

It can be seen that Zhou Mi has pinned all his hopes on defending the last line of defense.

As long as this line of defense can be held, the hinterland of Daji will still be saved.

Looking at the places marked in red everywhere on the map, there are places that have been occupied by bandits, and the black Daji army has been forced to the edge of Yunzhou.

"Marshal Zhou has something to say, I believe that if Marshal Zhou has nothing special to explain tonight, he will not call me over."

Zhou Mi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"Yongguan, it's over to General Chen!"
