Yuan Qi led the vanguard troops to walk less than thirty miles out of Jijun City, when he saw two horses, one black and one white, galloping towards him. www.biquge.infoSoon, the two horses came to the vanguard army, and the knights on the horses all turned over and dismounted and knelt in front of the Yuan Dynasty, and the knight on the white horse was a scout sent by Zhang Chong, and the scout was the first to speak: "Lord Yu, our team met the messenger of the border army on the road ahead, and the captain ordered the villain to report back to the Lord Gong. ”

The knight on the black horse hurriedly said: "General Yu, I am a county soldier in Beiping, the county guard has received the news that the 20,000 people in front of the Thorn Tower have conquered Jianping, and after killing all the people in the city, they are marching to the White Wolf Mountain, and the villain has come to report." ”

After Yuan Qi heard the messenger's return, a burst of anger rose!

I didn't expect the speed of the Thorn Tower's march to be so fast this time, and they captured Jianping with lightning speed, and slaughtered the city! Yuan Qi Tie looked north with a blue face, which was the direction of Jianping. Suppressing the anger in his heart, Yuan Qi asked in a deep voice, "When did the Thorn Tower people break through Jianping?" The county soldier stumbled and replied, "The villain doesn't know. ”

Yuan Qi's face sank again, and then asked, "Then when did your Taishou ask you to come out to report the news?" This time the messenger replied very happily: "General, it was three days ago." Yuan Qi lowered his head, glanced at the messenger carefully, and asked, "Are you delayed on the road?" The messenger hurriedly shook his head: "The villain came to report the news day and night, and did not dare to delay for a moment. ”

Yuan Qi pondered for a while, and then said to an elite of the Tiangui Camp beside him: "Take him down to change a horse, and hurry up to report to Lord Zhoumu." When the messenger heard this, he bowed his head in thanks, and then followed the elite of the Heavenly Return Battalion to the rear army to change horses. Yuan Qi looked at the back of the messenger and said in a deep voice: "Xun Luo, Tian Mou, have you noticed anything?" Xun Luo and Tian Mou glanced at each other, Tian Mou said first: "Mou is stupid, I just vaguely feel that something is wrong, but I can't find what the problem is." Yuan Qi turned his gaze to Xun Luo: "Xun Luo, what do you think?"

Xun Luo smiled and said: "The lord already knows it in his chest, so why ask?" Yuan Qi shook his head and said: "One person is short, two people are long, I am afraid that there is something missing." Let me tell you what you think. ”

Zhang Long on the side asked strangely: "Senior Brother Yuan Qi, what are you talking about?" Yuan Qi smiled and said to Zhang Long: "Let's listen to Xun Luo." Everyone looked at Xun Luo.

Xun Luo said slowly: "Actually, the lord has seen through the problem, so let's talk about it in detail." After a pause, Xun Luo asked Zhang Long and the others: "Dare to ask the generals, how many days will it take to get from Beiping to Jijun, if you hurry up?" Zhang Long said without thinking: "If it is a white crane sitting down, it will be there in half a day." Even if you change to an ordinary war horse, it should be two days at most. ”

Xun Luo nodded and continued: "That's right, but the messenger just now said that three days ago, in the name of Beiping Taishou, he came day and night, why didn't he go to Jijun for three days?"

Tian Mou said: "I felt that something was wrong before, but after Xun Luo's reminder, I understood, I am afraid that Beiping Taishou deliberately delayed the trip." ”

Yuan Qi smiled and said, "It's not more than that, Xun Luo, you go on." ”

Xun slightly arched his hand and continued: "The few words that the lord asked the messenger just now seemed to be a random question, but in fact there was a mystery in it. From the messenger's answer, the following points were deduced. First, as Tian Mou said just now, the Beiping Taishou deliberately delayed the timing of the report; second, the Beiping Taishou deliberately concealed the time of the Thorn Towers' advance, so the messenger did not know when Jianping was captured; and third, this time, the Thorn Towers drove straight in, and their whereabouts flickered, so I am afraid that someone is helping the Thorn Tower people cover up the route of the army. ”

Yuan Qi said: "Xun Luo is really my son's room, what he said is exactly what he thinks in his heart." Saying that, he turned his head and asked Tian Mou: "Tian Mou, if you remember correctly, is Beiping Taishou Zou Yue?" Tian Mou replied: "The lord is not mistaken, it is indeed Zou Yue." ”

Yuan Qi's face revealed a sense of slaughter, and even the cold voice made people tremble: "Zou Yue is a Han Chinese, but he does the things of a traitor, and his heart can be punished!" As a person who has traveled through time, Yuan Qi hates traitors the most! If it weren't for the scum among these Han people, how could there be five indiscriminate China? How could there be an Eight-Nation Coalition Army entering Beijing? How could there be a more Nanjing Massacre and the Eight-Year War of Resistance?

Xun Luo felt the killing intent emanating from Yuan Qi's body, which he had never felt in Yuan Qi before, and all along, Xun Luo thought that although he was young, he was smart and wise, calm and generous, and better at perceiving people's hearts; he could not only strategize with his wit, but also display his martial arts, take the lead on the battlefield, and fight with the enemy; he treated his comrades like a warm sun, and although he was strict with his soldiers, he was extremely sympathetic to ordinary soldiers in private. Xun Luo thinks that if Yuan Qi is adding a little ruthlessness, it will be a very perfect male master. I thought that after years of precipitation, Yuan Qi would naturally be able to learn ruthless methods after a few years, but to Xun Luo's surprise, at this moment, Yuan Qi's fierce momentum made him feel at ease.

Yuan Qi's cold voice sounded again: "Tian Mou, go check that horse and see if there is a problem." Tian Mou agreed, and walked towards the mount of Zou Dan's messenger with a few elites.

After a while, Tian Mou walked back and said to Yuan Qi: "My lord, that horse has indeed been tampered with, it has just been castrated, and its injuries are not yet healed. ”

After listening to Tian Mou's return, Yuan Qi's face was so cold that he could almost scrape off a layer of frost: "That's right." Pass my military order, march quickly, rush to Beiping before dark, arrest Zou Yue's whole family, and kill him once the evidence is conclusive!"

Listening to Yuan Qi's ruthless order, no one questioned it. Zhang Long shouted even louder: "Just cut it directly, what do you have to do!"

Yuan Qi shook his head slightly and said, "Don't be impatient, junior brother, before we figure out the facts, we can't kill good people by mistake." As soon as his tone softened, Yuan Qi said meaningfully: "Senior brother, sooner or later you will have to lead an army alone, remember not to act rashly in the future, and to be calm." Zhang Long's face flushed, knowing Yuan Qi's expectations for himself, hoping that he would be able to be alone in the future, so he said sincerely: "Yes." Thank you Senior Brother Yuanqi for mentioning it, I wrote it down. ”

Yuan Qi said to Zhang Chong again: "Zhang Chong, you choose a fine sergeant to return to Jijun, tell my father what I just speculated, and let him prepare early." Zhang Chong replied, "No!"

The steel halberd went all the way forward, and Yuan Qi shouted loudly: "Target Beiping, go at full speed, those who don't reach Beiping before dark, cut!" With Yuan Qi's shouting, none of the more than 2,800 soldiers made a different sound, but clenched their weapons, threw off their strides and accelerated towards Beiping, which Yuan Qi's steel halberd pointed to.

The sunset glows with a red smiling face, looking down on the land of Beiping. It seems that he found something special about this place in Beiping, so he refused to fall down the West Mountain, hung in the sky with great interest, and swept every inch of land in Beiping with his only remaining afterglow.

Suddenly, the sound of galloping horses' hooves interrupted the excitement of the setting sun. At the junction of the sea and the sky, a group of cavalry with a solemn and ruthless aura appeared on the ground level. Immediately after, two thousand strong soldiers appeared behind the cavalry, although their faces were tired, but like the cavalry, their eyes also showed a coldness.

The setting sun hanging in the sky seemed to be frightened by this group of cold warriors, and suddenly, he hid behind the mountain. As the sun sets, the sky and the earth gradually darken.

Yuan Qi restrained the jade qilin and glanced back at the soldiers who had followed him for three hundred miles, and a smile appeared on his face. No one was left behind, and more than 2,800 soldiers followed closely behind him. In one day, the march is 300 miles! If it is a Maxima under Yuan Qi or a BMW sat down by Zhang Long and others, of course it is not a problem to travel 300 miles a day, but the problem is that among Yuan Qi's subordinates, although there are 800 days to return to the camp elite equipped with war horses, and their war horses are all called good horses, there is still a lot of gap from the BMW, and it is not easy to travel 300 miles a day, not to mention, there are still 2,000 foot soldiers! These two thousand foot soldiers relied on their legs and simply followed the hooves of the war horses and ran together for 300 miles!

The whole army rested for an hour, and ordered the soldiers of the Tiangui Battalion to dismount and rest, and feed the war horses with forage. The foot soldiers formed a circle, walked slowly for two moments before they could sit down and rest, and those who violated the order would be killed!" Yuan Qi ordered in a cold voice.

A few people who followed Yuan Qi separately conveyed the order. After the communication was completed, Zhao Hucai asked softly: "Senior Brother Yuan Qi, why do you want to let the foot pawn slow down for two quarters first?" Yuan Qi asked Xun Luo with a smile: "Xun Luo knows, what does so-and-so mean?"

Xun Luo replied with a smile: "The lord is really well-informed, and he even dabbles in medicine. As he spoke, he pointed to the foot soldiers who were walking slowly and explained: "Although these warriors are elite, the rapid march will greatly increase the heart rate, and if they are suddenly allowed to sit on the ground to rest, it will be difficult for the heart to adapt for a short time, and there will be nausea, vomiting and other pathologies, and even loss of life." The reason why the lord let them walk slowly was to prepare for the siege later, and secondly, he was also responsible for the lives of these soldiers. ”

Yuan Qi nodded with a smile and looked at Zhao Hu: "Senior Brother Zhao Hu, not everyone has a physique like you and me, these fighters are ordinary people, and their physical strength is limited, after strenuous exercise, the best way is not to stop and rest immediately, but to take a restorative rest, do you understand?"

Zhao Hu nodded and said, "Yes, thank you for your advice." Zhang Chong, Zhang Long and others on the side also kept nodding their heads to show their understanding, and they all secretly sighed in their hearts, following Yuan Qi's side was indeed a great benefit.

Two quarters later, Yuan Qi issued another order: choose a hidden place, light a fire to cook, and after the whole army has eaten a full meal, continue to rest, and wait until the deadline of one hour arrives, and immediately launch a surprise attack on Beiping!
