The system forced me to be emperor

Guo Jia said apologetically, "Old man, I'm sorry for bringing up your sadness!"

The old man waved his hand and said, "Hey, it has nothing to do with you, it's all Zhao Guo's fault!"

Guo Jia nodded, no wonder they said they were going to Xia Guo, these old people would relax their vigilance, it turned out that their family members died at the hands of Zhao Guo.

As the saying goes, you can see the whole leopard by looking at one spot. The tense border war in Yan State has led to a shortage of soldiers. It is not easy to make things worse by forcing recruits. There are many villages like Zhangjia Village. The village was desolate and withered.Although a village is small, it is the smallest unit that makes up a country and can best reflect the rise and fall of a country.

As the weakest country among the Seven Kingdoms, Yan State is far inferior to the surrounding countries in terms of military and economics, and it is still living in the cracks between them. How can it be miserable?

In addition, when Xiao Rui thought of the drunken lives and dreams of those dignitaries in Yandu City, there was a sharp contrast, an obvious contrast.

After the old man left, Xiao Rui got out of the carriage and went into the house to rest.

They rested overnight in Zhangjia Village, and everyone set off early the next morning, not wanting to disturb the tranquility of Zhangjia Village.They continued to go north, walked for another day, and came to a three-way intersection.

Going to the northwest, two days' journey will reach Xifeng Pass, where Yan State and Zhao State border, and go northeast, and you will arrive at Dongfeng Pass, where Yan State and Xia State border.As long as you pass Dongfeng Pass, you will arrive at the boundary of Xiangzhou in Xia Kingdom for more than ten miles to the north. If you continue to walk northwest, you will not be far from the place where Chen Qingzhi is stationed.

When a group of people approached Dongfeng Pass, they noticed something was wrong.

Because of the alliance between Xia and Yan, Dongfeng Pass, as a trade pass, is far less ready than Xifeng Pass. Only a few business groups will go to Zhao State, but a large number of businessmen come and go to Xia State, so Dongfeng Pass will be in charge. Going out and coming in requires a search, and going out only needs a simple registration.But at this time, the security card was set up, and it seemed that they were searching for someone.

Guo Jia stopped the horse, and then sent Han Xin to check.

Han Xin is from the country of Yan, so he will not arouse suspicion. He will come back soon after he has gone.

"Your Highness, we can't get through. Crown Prince Yan Xifeng has issued arrest warrants for every gate to the country of Yan. There are portraits of His Highness and Mr. Feng Xiao, and every vehicle and horse will be searched." Han Xin said back.

Xiao Rui and Guo Jia looked at each other, Guo Jia smiled and said: "Although Yan Xifeng is crazy, he is smart. He is aware of the horror of gunpowder, and he must catch His Highness. It seems that it is not easy to go there easily, or Detour other trails."

There are mountains between Xifeng Pass and Dongfeng Pass, which is why Yan State can establish a border pass. The natural mountains are like the Great Wall.But the mountains are not the Great Wall after all, they cannot be strong and coherent, some mountains are tall, and some places are low, so Zhao Guo was able to enter Yan Guo through other routes.

But to the east of Dongfengguan, the mountains gradually became lower, and lost their height after only fifty or sixty miles.Therefore, the border between the two countries in the east is flat, and the country of Yan cannot defend the whole line, so it can only retreat to the south bank of the Yan River and choose a place to station for defense.

At this time, Dongfeng Pass cannot be passed, so they can only go eastward, and there will be no Yan soldiers guarding it. However, there is no official road, and the wilderness path is bumpy and difficult. At that time, the carriage will have to be abandoned and horses will be replaced.And if you make a detour, you will add three or four days to the journey.

At this moment, Han Xin smiled and said, "Your Highness, Mr. Feng Xiao, I have a suggestion."

"Oh? Tell me quickly." Xiao Rui's eyes lit up and he asked quickly.

Han Dao said: "Since Dongfeng Pass is searching for His Highness, why not send the tiger away from the mountain? I pretended to be a traveler, accidentally saw the portrait of the person who was arrested, and led away the generals and a large number of guards at Dongfeng Pass. Then, His Highness and Guo Jia disguised themselves and passed the pass. If you give money to bribe the officers and soldiers who check, you can quickly pass through. I just noticed that the officers and soldiers who searched are also doing their own work, and some people carry prohibited items in their carriages, and they are all secretly paid for some money before being released."

Guo Jia nodded with a smile, not surprised.It seems that he has already thought of a way, but he just doesn't say it.He was giving Han Xin a chance to perform. Han Xin saved His Highness and himself, and Guo Jia recognized him quite a lot, so he wanted him to perform, so as to gain Xiao Rui's greater trust.

In fact, Guo Jia was too worried. How could Xiao Rui not know who Han Xin was and what abilities he possessed?

Xiao Rui immediately agreed with this suggestion.

Afterwards, Xiao Rui and Guo Jia dressed up in disguise, while Han Xin went to Dongfeng Pass alone, immediately uncovered the arrest warrant, and was taken by soldiers to meet the general guarding Xifeng Pass.

Comment on Han Xin's eloquence, directly convince the general to believe his words, and then immediately summon the soldiers to take Han Xin to the place where the other party is hiding.

As soon as the people left, Xiao Rui and his team began to pass the customs, and soon it was their turn. Li Yuanfang secretly handed over the money, and the soldiers responded hastily, and they passed the customs quickly and safely.

When they went north for more than ten miles, their speed slowed down. After half an hour, Han Xin caught up.

"I led that general into a forest, and then turned back. Even if that man realizes that he has been deceived, he will not dare to go out of the city to pursue him when he returns to Dongfeng Pass. One is that the territory of Xia Kingdom is about to come, and if he steps over, he will be killed." It means aggression. Secondly, if Yan Xifeng knows that he has been tricked, he may be let go, and he will be even more frustrated!" Han Xin laughed.

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Han Xin respectfully said: "Your Highness is serious, this is what I should do."

"Okay! Then let's continue on our way!" Xiao Rui raised his head and pointed to the northwest, and immediately entered the boundary of Yan Kingdom. His heart stabilized and he finally returned to his home field.

Chapter 357: Will I be afraid of Zhao Guo?

Suining County, Shaoyang Prefecture, Xiangzhou, is located in the southwestern border of Xiangzhou. To the west is the State of Zhao, to the south is the State of Yan, and it is the border of the Three Kingdoms.Originally, there was only a [-]-strong army stationed here, and it was Chang Shenghou's men and horses. Later, with the alliance between Xia and Yan, Zhao Guo became more and more afraid of the two countries. Over time, the two countries learn from each other's strengths and make up for their weaknesses. If they rely on their own efforts, they will suffer more and more losses, so they gathered troops and began to go south, intending to attack Yan.

Emperor Xia did not use more troops from Chang Shenghou and let Chang Shenghou continue to sit in Chang'an. Instead, he called Zhenyuan Hou Han Ming's [-] troops to Suining County, and the original [-] troops returned to Chang Shenghou's headquarters.

Twenty miles southwest of Suining County, there is a military camp stationed there.Because it is a temporary garrison, not a long-term one, no military town has been formed, and the soldiers' homes are no longer here, and they don't need to farm. Instead, they train around the clock and wait for the battle.

A few days ago, Chen Qingzhi received an urgent letter from Han Ming, Marquis of Zhenyuan, saying that His Royal Highness King Xian might be coming, so he has been waiting these few days.However, Chen Qingzhi became a little anxious when he did not wait for the figure.

He had never been anxious on the battlefield, but now he was anxious before His Royal Highness King Xian, and he laughed at himself.But he understands better, if His Highness has not come for a long time, is there any danger?

This place is located in a chaotic place bordering the three countries. Although the three countries have no intention of provoking a large-scale war, small fights are common.

The soldiers and horses of Zhao State often pretended to be horse thieves and attacked the business groups and villages of Yan State and Zhao State many times, even going deep into the territory of Xia State.But when Chen Qingzhi received the news and sent someone there, there was only a mess and innocent people who lost their lives.In the month since Chen Qingzhi came here, three business groups and one village have all been bloodbathed by thieves.As for the country of Yan, although Xifeng Pass is a natural barrier, he encountered more attacks.

Chen Qingzhi gritted his teeth in hatred, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't catch a current situation, and he was afraid that he would send troops to Zhao Guo and directly give the opponent an excuse, which would become the trigger for the start of the battle.And in the past month, he has been busy rectifying the military affairs. There are so many rat shit in the army, so it needs to be cleaned up, and the soldiers' aura, trust and belief must be cleaned up.

"Report! Commander-in-Chief! The scouts came to report and found a group of more than 30 horse thieves. The direction should be Fengjiu."

Suddenly, a personal guard hurried into the military tent and reported to the latest military newspaper.

"More than 30 people? Damn it! Pass my military order and order Gao Shen to send a ranger general to encircle and suppress! Be sure to keep the horse bandits behind. If you want to see people alive, you need to see dead bodies!" Chen Qingzhi immediately took out a military order and arranged.

The personal guards took the military order and hurried to make arrangements.

Where is Xiao Rui and his party at this time?

It was also a coincidence that they happened to be staying in Fengjiu Village, and when they were preparing their carriages and horses for departure in the morning, they suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes coming from outside the village.

Fengjiu Village is not big, with thirty or forty families. Li Yuanfang looked out from a high place, and saw a group of murderous people rushing towards them. Judging by their attire, they looked like horse thieves, but they were not as loose as horse thieves. You can tell they are elite cavalry.

Li Yuanfang immediately reported: "Your Highness! A group of cavalry pretending to be horse thieves rushed into the village immediately!"

"How many people?" Xiao Rui frowned, not expecting to encounter such a thing.

"More than 30 people!" Li Yuanfang said.

At this time, the people in the village also heard the sound of horseshoes, and they were so frightened that they closed their doors and windows. It seems that not long ago, another village was bloodbathed by horse thieves and spread throughout Suiyang County.

"Do you need my help?" Xiao Rui patted his saber.

Dian Wei laughed, and said: "If you need His Highness's help, it means that the three of us are too bad!"

"That's right!" Li Yuanfang and Han Xin nodded in response.

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "Then what are you waiting for?"

The three of them rushed out immediately and stood guard at the head of the village.The horse thief who came to kill suddenly saw three men guarding in front of him, still holding weapons. The thief in front of the horse waved his weapon and shouted: "There are still people who want to resist! Haha... Brothers, raise your swords!" , kill them all!"

"Aww..." The horse thief behind him let out a roar of excitement, and his horse speed was even faster when he sat down. More than 30 people rushed towards Dianwei three men, ready to trample them to death.

Dian Wei raised his brows, his aura suddenly raised, instead of dodging, he stepped forward. He rushed forward with three strides, directly dodging the slash of the leading horse thief, and then leaned close to him, and directly hit the horse's hooved horse with his shoulder. With a groan, he fell directly to one side and hit another person.

Immediately afterwards, Dian Wei pulled out the iron halberd, jumped up, and beheaded the other two behind him under the horse.
