Chapter 516: No Hurry,
Zhang Xian ordered the Praetorian Guard's Northern Army and the guard battalion to rush to Shangrao Valley, where some of the people infiltrated by the Qin State were going to ambush him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Song Xin received the order and quickly led people to Shangrao Valley.
There are two roads from Donglucheng to Huowang County, one is to take the official road to cross the Shangrao Valley, and the other is to detour east along the east bank of the Zhanghe River, until the east of Huowang County, and cross the Zhanghe River to reach Huowang County, which is the original Huowang Town.
The road is a little farther, with a bow back and a river crossing.
Last time, Zhang Xian burned Shangrao Valley, and the fire could not be extinguished for a while and a half, and finally gave Huo Meng a county order, and Huowang Town was upgraded, so that Huo Meng gathered the villagers, collected ferries, and crossed the Zhanghe River.
There are very few people who take this road now, and most of them take the official road of Raogu.
Because the road is flat and wide, there is no need to find a ferry to cross the Zhanghe River, because there is a bridge near Donglu City.
"General Zhang, don't be in a hurry, according to the speed of His Majesty's travel, I will lead the army to make a detour, cross the Zhanghe River from the north of Huowang County, and some of the men and horses will go around from the north of Lishan to the west to block the valley mouth, and some people will be arranged in the south of Huowang County, blocking the official road, and after they are in place, they will contact you with Xinying to determine the time and act in unison. ”
Song Xin explained to Zhang Huidao.
"Understood. ”
Song Xin left Dongdaying overnight and went to the northeast, looking at the direction of travel as if Benjian Kangcheng, as soon as they left, there were carrier pigeons taking off.
Zhang Hui looked at the carrier pigeon flying to the northwest, the corners of his mouth were raised, and he returned to the camp with a sneer.
Donglu City is prosperous in commerce, and there are often carrier pigeons and eagles coming in and out, most of which are domesticated by a merchant caravan, etc., and people have become accustomed to it, and few people will pay attention to these.
But as some intelligence agencies, or scouts in the army, and some clever generals, they can distinguish the belonging of eagles and pigeons, and rarely make mistakes.
Most of the eagles and pigeons used by merchants are very docile, fat, and smooth, because the owners are too doting and raised pets.
The eagles and pigeons in the army are thin and fierce, very alert, can avoid threats from the ground, can distinguish special tokens, and it is difficult to lure them.
The eagles and pigeons of the intelligence agencies are more alert and evasive, and only certain people can access them.
The carrier pigeon that flew away just now, Zhang Hui could see at a glance that it was a carrier pigeon in the army, and it was also a carrier pigeon that was not familiar with the terrain here.
The merchant's eagles and pigeons are short-distance transmissions, and they fly in this area, and you can see that you are familiar with the road at a glance.
In the army, the eagle and the carrier pigeon, in the territory of the Xia country, only the Xia army has, they pass by the barracks will hover in the sky for a while, if there is an eagle tower, find the token, will fall.
And the eagles and pigeons of the Red Evil Pavilion are not only fierce but also slippery, and no one should enter.
In the Shangrao Valley, behind the dirt mountain, there are dozens of tents.
When history repeats itself, Zhao Wu ambushed Su Yu and took thousands of people to hide behind this dirt mountain, Zhang Xian personally led people over and set a fire after discovering it, burning tens of thousands of people, including Wang Bo.
And today, more than 1,000 elites of the Qin State also came here to ambush, preparing to ambush Zhang Xian and Liu Yong.
Inside the tent, a strong man stood at the door of the tent and looked at the stars in the sky, and a man dressed as a scribe was silently sipping tea.
At this time, someone hurried over, and almost bumped into the strong man when he entered the tent.
"Top 100, why are you so frizzy. ”
The fierce man yelled at the visitor in displeasure.
"I'm sorry, I have something urgent. ”
The person who came was a handsome young man, dressed in a red brocade robe, his name was Baiqiang, in fact, his real name was Qin Song, he also had a special identity, but few people knew it, he was the second to the regent, and Qin Bai was the brother of Yuan Chu.
The regent's family was eradicated by the Qin Emperor, Qin Bai fled, and the official said that Qin Bai was the only one left in the regent's family, but in fact, the regent still had several descendants who escaped.
After all, the regent was very popular in the Qin State, and although he could not protect him when he was in trouble, his descendants were protected by someone, and the Qin Emperor knew that he was helpless.
Qin Song was rescued by the middle-aged man in the big tent dressed as a scribe, his name is Wang Kai, a member of the Wang family, don't look at him usually low-key, he always likes to wear scribe clothes, he is a real master, a master of the peak realm of the divine master.
He is a descendant of the Wang family, a reserve talent for the future head of the family.
He saved Qin Song and changed his name to the top 100, which means that his ability ranks among the 100 strongest among the younger generation in Jianye City.
And the fierce man standing at the door is the leader of this operation, Wu Yuehou's cronies, named Gao Song, and also a divine master.
"What's the urgency that makes you so flustered?"
Gao Song grabbed the top 100 unhappily, also because the top 100 did not respect him.
"Isn't it okay to taste tea?"
Baiqiang couldn't break free from his wrist, but Wang Kai, who was sitting in front of the desk and drinking tea, seemed to beckon Gao Song to taste tea, but in fact, he raised his hand and waved a wisp of gangqi, Gao Song's arm was numb, and he involuntarily let go of Baiqiang.
"Hum 1"
"Humph!"
Gao Song glared at Wang Kai, resentful in his heart, and snorted coldly.
Bai Qiang moved his aching shoulder, and Gao Song also snorted.
Gao Song was annoyed, but helpless.
It is true that he is the leader who led this operation, but Wang Kai was invited by Emperor Qin to assist him, and his cultivation is extremely high, and his fists are hard, even if his master Wu Yuehou sees him, he has to get up and greet him accordingly, and he is very respectful, and he, a slave of Wu Yuehou, how dare he twist his tiger beard.
"This is the tea brewed according to the method passed on by the young man of the Zhang family, the aroma is overflowing, the taste is sweet, the fragrance is long-lasting, not bad, I didn't expect a disciple of the Zhang family to be extraordinary, not to mention, but also established a huge vassal state, alas, the top ten families ranked first, no one can shake it for hundreds of years, it is really profound. ”
Wang Kai beckoned Baiqiang to sit down, poured him tea, and sighed.
Baiqiang was a little frightened, although his benefactor was informal, and he did everything recklessly, but he could pour him tea in person, wouldn't it make him panic.
"Taste it slowly, and talk about it slowly. ”
Wang Kai was tepid, and slowly tasted the tea to the top 100.
"Oh, that's ....."
It was the secret spy lurking in Donglu City who sent the information, and the top 100 reported to Wang Kai in detail.
Although Gao Song resented Baiqiang for not reporting to him, he was helpless to listen carefully beside him.
"So Zhang Xian and Liu Yong didn't leave Donglu City, and his guards didn't leave either?"
"Yes. ”
"But where did the 100,000 Praetorian Guards go?"
Gao Song couldn't help asking, if the 100,000 Praetorian Guards were guarding Zhang Xian, then they wouldn't have a chance at all.
"According to the news from the inside, the 300,000 troops of the Li State were displayed on the north bank, staring at Luokou City with fierce eyes, and Luokou City only had 60,000 or 70,000 horses from the Xia Kingdom, if it weren't for their naval army being too sharp, I am afraid that they would have occupied Luokou City a long time ago, and the 100,000 Praetorian Guards might go to Luokou City for reinforcements. ”
Gao Song breathed a sigh of relief, but Wang Kai frowned.
"Is the information reliable?"
"Reliable, we have one of our spies in that Praetorian Guard, and he has a high rank and can get a military plan of action. ”
"Oh??????????!"
Although the top 100 confirmed the reliability of the information, Wang Kai was suspicious, but he didn't say anything.
"Where are they?"
Wang Kai suddenly put down the tea set and looked up at Gao Song.
"There is no news 、、, this. ”
Gao Song was stunned for a moment, his face changed slightly, but he recovered immediately, and spread his hands and replied.
Wang Kai lowered his head and continued to taste tea, and the big tent was silent for a while.
The atmosphere was a little weird.
The next day, the autumn weather was crisp and cloudless, and it was a good day.
Zhang Xian and Liu Yong got into the chariot.
Liu Yong and Zhang Xian walked in obedience, and the chariot was placed in Song Xin's army, since Zhang Xian decided not to hide it and took the initiative to walk into the ambush circle, Song Xin left the chariot behind.
Leaving Donglu City, the guard battalion rolled up the flags, the swords and guns reflected the sun, and walked on the official road, and people knew that His Majesty the King had come to Donglu City, but they didn't know it before.
Zhang Hui was still relatively gentle, and instead of forcibly driving away the crowd that was coming, he ordered the samurai to block them, and the team walked slowly.
On the first day, I walked more than 30 miles, and it was already dark after crossing the Zhanghe River.
It's a small town, but it's very prosperous, and it's stained with the light of Donglu City.
"Your Majesty, General, are we spending the night in the town?"
Zhang Huilai asked for instructions.
"Don't disturb the people, there is a post station less than ten miles after the town, go there and rest. ”
The king passed by, causing quite a stir, and the streets of the town were crowded with people, and Zhang Hui wasted a lot of effort to persuade the fanatical people to get out of the way and let the king pass.
By the time we got to the station, it was completely dark.
"If you go at this rate, you won't be able to reach Shunyi County in a month. ”
Liu Yong shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"We are not in a hurry, otherwise Wu Yuehou will be in a hurry, it has not been completely rolled out yet, Wu Yuehou has passed the Chen River in advance, but it is not good for us!"
Zhang Xian originally planned to rush to Shunyi City with Liu Yong and personally command the anti-Qin action plan, but he didn't want to have a traitor, exposed his whereabouts, and some people were ready to set up an ambush to ambush and kill the two.
It was exposed, he discussed with Liu Yongyi, he was not in a hurry, and walked leisurely on the road, which was also a way not to stimulate Wu Yuehou, and he also wanted to get rid of the traitor and the infiltrated Qin army.
Zhang Xian is not in a hurry, but Liu Yong is an anxious man, although he agreed with Zhang Xian's strategy, but he still can't wait to get to the front line in one step, as long as he smells the smell of the battlefield and feels the solemn atmosphere of war, he is steady.
"I know this, but this heart 、、、"
Liu Yong shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"You, alas, okay, after Huowang County, you can rush to the front line with Song Xin. ”
Although Liu Yong has become a general, his status is high, his official position is big, and he is not leading the troops in person, his status is high, but his heart is very lonely, and his bones are embroidered, which makes him very uncomfortable.
Not long ago, she went to the southeast mountains and had a big battle, otherwise she wouldn't be able to stand it anymore,、、、、、
