On the banks of the Canglang River, the severe cold had already frozen the river into ice, and a team of Chu soldiers methodically built wooden bridges with iron cones and straw ropes.

The north wind was howling, and 100,000 Chu soldiers stood silently on the shore, the severe cold could not reduce the excitement in their hearts, and the desire for victory made their blood boil.

According to reliable sources, the elite brigade of the Wei army has withdrawn from Haozhou in front, which also means that the land of a hundred miles ahead is already within reach for them!

"Knock! knock!"

The war drums sounded, and a pair of Chu soldiers crossed the bridge in unison, and rushed straight to the city not far away.

On a wooden platform in the center of the military formation, Zhao Ping, who had gray hair and a wrinkled face, smiled with satisfaction.

"Brother Lu, as long as there is one more chance, we can go straight to the Jing Division of the Wei Dynasty, not to mention exterminating the Northern Wei Dynasty in one fell swoop, but there is a lot of hope for driving them back to the Northern Barbarians!"

Lu Qi's legs are useless, and he can only rely on a wheelchair under him to walk, fortunately, there is a master of the Ban family in the army, this wheelchair is delicate and ingenious, and it turns as expected, not much slower than ordinary people.

Hearing what Zhao Ping said, he also smiled and nodded.

"Big brother's lifelong wish, I'm afraid it will be achieved next year!"

"My life's wish is not to defeat the Northern Wei Dynasty, but to be able to live and work in peace and contentment without suffering from military disasters. ”

Zhao Ping lowered his head, and then looked at the deputy general beside him, Dutong Wang Ying.

"Wang Dutong, you lead the army first, Zhang Xian follows, I will press the formation, and contact General Yao and them casually. ”

"Whoa!"

Wang Ying was ordered to retreat, and jumped off the wooden platform with tigers and tigers.

A day later, the front line reported that the city had been captured with the help of the people of Neili, and the Southern Chu army continued to advance.

And General Yao, who was guarding on the right flank, suddenly stopped and did not follow. The same is true of the guards directly under the Beijing division on the left flank, which has no intention of cooperating with Zhao Ping's all-out attack.

"General Yao, what's going on with them?"

On the city wall, Zhao Ping's eyes showed doubts, he has now been promoted to the deputy commander of the Privy Council, and it stands to reason that the other two Chu armies should be controlled by him. But in fact, this is not the case, because when the state of Chu was founded, in order to make the military attaché bigger, all kinds of restrictions were placed, and now Zhao Ping can hold 100,000 Chu soldiers It is already a broken rule, but he cannot have the right to lead other troops.

"General Yao sent a letter, saying that he had received an order to hold Yushan and stabilize the rear. ”

"The same is true of the escorts, who are not willing to come forward any longer! They probably feel that the present form is already very good, and if they fail in a rash attack, they will lose more than they gain. ”

Wang Ying shook his head, with a look of regret.

"Leave them alone, if we win one more game, they'll follow up again. ”

Zhao Ping showed a trace of helplessness in his eyes, sighed and said, "Keep attacking!"

On another five days, the army advanced for a hundred miles, almost approaching the Wei Dynasty's Jing Division, but the two Chu armies in the rear had not yet followed.

"Something is not right! We went deep into the Wei region and gained a lot, but we did not encounter much resistance, and it was obvious that the Wei army wanted to fight with our army and win a battle. But we're alone, and the odds are too small!"

Inside the big tent, Zhang Xian looked at the topographic map in front of him and frowned, and the other people in the field were also anxious.

"If they come with two teams, we have at least a 60% chance of winning, and even if we don't lose, we can calmly retreat. But now......"

Lu Qi also shook his head and sighed.

"No matter what, this battle is inevitable, only one of us will kill the sharp spirit of the Wei army first, and then make the next arrangements depending on the situation. ”

Zhao Ping's eyes rolled, and he was the only one who had such a big tone and courage to be able to lead the army alone and still be confident in the face of the disparity in troops.

His confidence has also infected others, yes! With General Zhao here, we will certainly win! In which battle we will not be strong with the weak and more with less! Such victories will certainly continue!

"Report!"

There was a cry outside the tent.

"Enter!"

Zhao Ping spoke, and Lu Qi on the side suddenly frowned and looked out of the tent.

The tent was opened, and a fat eunuch walked in.

"Zhao Ping takes the order!"

This is the prince of the prison army, but he is not a good person, and he can't match the temper of several people in the army, so he has been excluded by them. He is also self-aware, and he will not show his head when he has nothing to do.

"Command!"

The generals knelt on the ground, and only Lu Qi quietly came out of the tent.

"There are few soldiers, the people are poor, the country is lacking, the lone army is deep, and the odds of victory are not ......"

One by one, the words came into his ears, Lu Qi's brows tightened, and he suddenly stopped the rotation of the wheelchair under him.

"Zhao Ping is specially summoned to return to Beijing to meet him as a reward!"

The class teacher returns to the dynasty?

Thinking of the other two teams that had stagnated a few days ago, Lu Qi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Stupid!

"The military morale of the Northern Wei Dynasty has been lost, the generals are mediocre, and the princes are competing for the throne, which has caused chaos in the court, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. And our army has won great victories one after another, and its morale is booming, and the weather has warmed up recently, and the time and place are favorable, and the people are all on our side, and we must not miss the opportunity and never come again! Weichen has no choice but to resist the decree, and I hope that Your Majesty will forgive your sins!"

Zhao Ping's firm voice sounded, and then the prince hurriedly ran out of the military tent in anger.

"If you don't obey the order, you surnamed Zhao won't end well!"

Lu Qi's face was tense, his hands were clenched, and he heard Zhao Ping open the tent and order the march.

Five days later, in the capital, above the palace hall.

The current emperor of Southern Chu suddenly threw a volume of letters from the Flying Bird Book in his hand to the ground.

"Zhao Ping, you're going to rebel!"

"Your Majesty is cautious!"

An old minister of His Royal Highness hurriedly crossed the queue and bowed down and replied: "Your Majesty said back then: The matter of Zhongxing is entrusted to General Zhao! Today, General Zhao did not obey the decree because he saw the opportunity for victory.

"Your Majesty, please be careful!"

Another old minister came out of the queue and fell directly to the ground.

"General Zhao is loyal, how can he be rebellious?"

"yes!"

"yes!"

The hundreds of officials in the palace nodded at the same time, and the discussion kept stopping, only Prime Minister Zhen lowered his head and smiled, and glanced at the person behind him. Immediately, a person stepped forward slowly and said: "Your Majesty, General Zhao's prestige is long, and the sound is shaking the government and the public, and the people, you must not speak lightly, otherwise I am afraid the consequences will be unpredictable." ”

As soon as this person spoke, all the people present changed color, and a few people even looked at Zhen Xiang quietly, and no one spoke again.

Only the current emperor in the middle of the main hall opened his eyes, his chest rose and fell back and forth, and his breathing was rapid, and after a while, he suddenly turned into laughter.

"It's because I've been fascinated by the gods for a while, General Zhao is loyal to the country, and he is the general of my great Chu Zhongxing, how can there be any objections. Spread my will and summon Zhao Ping back to the court. ”

As soon as the decree was given, and the courtiers were about to retreat, the emperor spoke again.

"I know that General Zhao is stubborn, and a will is estimated to be rejected by him, so let's do a few more!"

So, on this day, the will of the Seven Dao to summon Zhao Ping's class to return to the dynasty came out one after another. At this time, the Wei Dynasty's peace envoy set off again and rushed towards the Southern Chu Jing Division.

"Tell the emperor of Southern Chu that killing Zhao Ping can exchange the two countries for a hundred years of stability!"

The Emperor of the Wei Dynasty, whose face was tired, spoke to the leader of the envoy to Southern Chu in front of him.

"Kill!"

The sound of killing on the battlefield shook the sky, and Nan Chu's handsome tent was silent, even the air seemed to be still, only Zhao Ping's hands holding the holy decree were trembling.

"Your Majesty, don't miss the opportunity!"

His voice was choked, and he was already in tears, and there were tears on the wrinkles on his face.

"General Zhao, Your Majesty has issued seven wills in succession, do you still want to resist the decree?"

The prince's round face was squeezed with a disgusting smile, and his two small eyes narrowed into a slit.

"Your Majesty has a will, and we will naturally obey it!"

Seeing that Zhao Ping didn't answer, Zhang Xian behind him hurriedly replied, and then got up to help Zhao Ping.

"General, the battle with the Wei army can not be decided in a short time, let's go back first and figure it out slowly!"

Lu Qi, who was outside the tent, looked up at the sky, dark clouds obscured the scorching sun, and the weather seemed extremely cold today, making him shiver uncontrollably.

In the capital, the palace, and the palace where the Queen Mother lived, Lin Muhua knelt down in front of the bed in disheveled clothes, serving the skinny woman.

Compared with before, the queen mother who took the pill looked much younger, but the wrinkles on her face were thrown away, and her thin body still made people not feel interested, but Lin Muhua could still force a smile and try her best to make the old woman happy on the bed.

I don't know how many times he returned home, he was physically and mentally exhausted because he vomited after swallowing pills, but he never dared to speak about this kind of thing.

"Go ahead! Your Majesty is looking for you in a hurry. ”

The legs like dry wood kicked him lightly, Lin Muhua hurriedly knelt down to ask for his resignation, and came to a large hall.

"Lin Muhua, I'll give you a chance to make meritorious contributions! The pill you lost back then has been found, and no one has taken it yet, so you go and get it for me!"

Emperor Nanchu spoke, Lin Muhua immediately left the main hall, and hundreds of royal forest troops rushed straight to the mansion where the third prince was.

Five days later, the three princes were killed for the crime of trying to usurp the throne due to great rebellion and collusion!

The court was in turmoil, and at the same time, many people's eyes also shifted to the border general who colluded with the three princes, the general Zhao who entered Beijing to receive the reward and traveled halfway.

"Drive!"

On the muddy official road, a rider in the costume of the famous sword hall was desperately whipping the red fire BMW under his crotch, the horse's hooves were windy, jumping several feet, and finally let out a trace of sorrow next to a big tree, falling to the ground, foaming at the mouth and unable to move forward.

And the rider on the horse, who didn't look at the BMW he had been with day and night for several years, was like electricity, and the true qi in his body was desperately urging and rushed towards the front.

Night was approaching, and the rider's eyes lit up, and a large Zhao character appeared on the ground in the distance.

"General Zhao!"

The rider shouted, his voice hoarse, his eyes bloodshot.

A quarter of an hour later, in a post station, the white-haired Zhao Ping fell to his knees, staring blankly at a secret letter in front of him.

"Brother Zhao, shall we get out of here?"

Lu Qi's face showed tiredness and worry, and he slowly spoke.

"The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die!"

Zhao Ping's voice seemed to be nothing, and finally turned into a wry smile, slowly got up, took off the armor on his body, and changed into a white robe.

"Brother Lu, let's go! I know that you are ambitious in the mountains and wilderness, and it has been difficult for you all these years. ”

Lu Qi looked at Zhao Ping and was silent for a long time, and finally turned his wheelchair and went out of the outer door.

"General Sun!"

"What does Lu Daxia command!"

A middle-aged man with a sad and angry face hugged his fists and saluted.

"I'm afraid that someone will be unfavorable to General Zhao's family, so I want you to take a trip and bring General Zhao's wife and children. ”

"Even if your subordinates don't want this life, they will definitely save the lives of General Zhao's family!"

General Sun's eyes widened and he shouted suddenly.

"I'll ask some friends from the village to help you. ”

Lu Qi nodded expressionlessly, took the paper, and quickly wrote a letter.

"Be quick!"

"My subordinates are going!"

General Sun took the letter, and without saying a word, he went to lead his war horse, and quickly ran out of the door with the accompaniment of several people.

"Boren!"

"Lord Lu Zhai!"

Kong Boren stepped forward.

"You go to a small mountain village, go there to find Chen Ziang Chen Shaoxia! Give him this flying knife of mine, ask him to go out of the mountain, if he agrees, take him to meet General Sun, if he doesn't agree......"

"The subordinates will kneel in front of him until he agrees!"

Kong Boren took the flying knife and replied categorically.
