Royal road

The [-]-strong army marched out, looking from a distance like a giant dragon with no end in sight, the soldiers and horses moved together, and the momentum was mighty.Shuai's banner is the big tent of the Chinese army.Pei Dun did not take a car this time, but chose to ride a horse.His face was already handsome, and he was dressed in military armor, which was outstanding and showed the demeanor of a general.

Anyway, Pei Dun also read military books.Although impatient, the marching formation was quite appropriate.There are scouting horses in front, food teams in the back, and generals of various armies by their side, who can ask about the situation at any time.From Jinyang to Lishi, even if it is all infantry, it can be reached within four or five years.I'm afraid it won't be long before the enemy troops line up to meet them.

"General Linghu, where is the former army?" Sitting on the horse, Pei Dun asked sideways.

This General Linghu was not called Linghu Sheng, but General Zhechong who followed the Chinese army, Linghu Kuang.After finally conquering Qi county, he was conscripted into the tent of the governor before he had time to catch his breath.To be honest, Linghu Kuang was somewhat disappointed.However, due to his duty, this time his uncle was leading the army together, so he dared not be negligent, and immediately said: "Report to the governor, the former army has arrived in Pingtao, and will be able to enter the territory of Xihe Kingdom tomorrow."

"Pass on the order, set up camp in Pingtao today, and rush to attack Lishi tomorrow!" Pei Dun ordered.

It has been two days since we set off from Jinyang.The generals were exhausted riding their horses.However, the soldiers only rely on their two legs, and the remaining ten miles must be even more difficult.Pei Dun was determined to attack Lishi, so he would not delay the march for too long.How could Linghu Kuang disobey his orders?I had to send orders to speed up the march.

Tightening the reins slightly in his hands, Pei Dun said to Liu Changshi beside him, "When will the Shangdang troops arrive?"

"The general is in a hurry this time. Shangdang is a little farther away, so it should be two days in the evening. But in this way, the enemy will not be able to guard against it." Liu Changshi was not very worried that Governor Liang refused to send troops. Li, not everyone can refuse.It is even more unexpected to divide the troops into two groups.

Hearing this, Pei Dun seemed to be slightly relieved, and said again: "If the Huns stick to Lishi and can't get out, they will go straight to Puzi, and they will be caught off guard!"

This time his goal was not to take down Lishi, but to force the Huns back and disrupt their plan to attack Hedong.If it is a siege, it will damage the troops for nothing.It's just that it's better to fight in Bingzhou, which is more reasonable.

"Don't worry, general, the Huns are not good at defending the city, so they will definitely send troops in advance." It is well known that the Huns are good at attacking and not good at defending, so they will not stick to the city.As long as you are close to the stone, you will always have to fight a battle.

This is exactly what he wanted.Pei Dun didn't say any more, and continued to urge the horse to move forward.

The infantry in front accelerated their marching speed, but the rear army couldn't keep up.There were frequent wars in Bingzhou, and there was a shortage of livestock such as cattle and horses. Therefore, most of the grain teams in the rear were drawn by manpower.Even for a short-distance battle, the amount of food and fodder for a [-]-strong army is quite astonishing.Not to mention there are spare arrows and ordnance.These three thousand servants can't be lazy at all.

I walked from dawn to dusk in one breath, and saw that the camp ahead had already been lit up, but these few miles seemed like they would never end.It's long and disappointing.

"Quick! Get up quickly!" the captain urged loudly, "The battalion is right ahead! If you drag it on, you will be punished by military law!"

Hearing the general's yell, everyone gathered their energy, desperately pushing and pulling the cart beside them, and staggered forward.I don't know how long it took before the team officer gave an order for everyone to stop.These servants are naturally not qualified to live in tents, just find a place to rest.Dinner is also prepared, the clear soup lacks water, and there is not even a pickle.I'm afraid there is only the morning meal, so I can eat more full.

Dare to be angry and dare not speak, everyone poured porridge into wooden bowls to drink.It has been a long time in autumn, and the sky is starting to get cold, but the sweat is like rain, and it can't stop.I don't know if the journey was too depressing, a young servant finally couldn't stand it anymore, and whispered to the people beside him: "Zhao Da, why is this journey so fast? Could it be that they want us to attack the city and fill sandbags? "

Sometimes, the servants also have the task of rushing to the city.Carrying sandbags and rushing under the enemy's arrow rain is simply heartbreaking.It's okay to transport food, if they really rush into battle, how can these people survive?

"No. I've heard people say that this time we're not going to attack the city. We're going to fight the Huns." The man surnamed Zhao replied in a low voice, sounding quite assertive.

Another person on the side heard this, and hurriedly asked: "If you fight against the Huns, will they beat us? What if someone comes to rob food and grass?"

"There are soldiers guarding it! And even if the enemy comes, we still have so many vehicles. If we surround the vehicles and hide inside, the enemy will have nothing to do?" Zhao Da really had an idea, and quickly replied.

These words immediately made everyone around them quiet down, as long as they survived, they would be able to bear it if they suffered a little bit.Thanks to having this Zhao Da by his side, this man is strong and knowledgeable, probably stronger than those guarding school officials!Without him, everyone would have panicked.

After hastily drinking the porridge, the others fell to the ground sleepily, and fell into a coma in an instant.Only Zhao Da didn't go to bed early, but quietly went along the camp to investigate.His movements were extremely light, and his path selection was quite skillful, so he didn't even run into the guards.After going around half a circle, Zhao Dacai stopped when he saw another person dressed as a servant.The two gestured a few times with their hands, but without opening their mouths, they turned around and left.It's like completing a task.

Back in his team, Zhao Da heaved a sigh of relief and lay sideways on the ground.Someone might have fallen asleep and muttered, "Where have you been?"

"Go shit." Zhao Daxin replied.

The man didn't ask any further questions, and fell into a drowsy sleep again.Zhao Da didn't fall asleep right away, he thought about what he saw tonight, and then closed his eyes.These people, under the order of General Yi, sneaked into the ranks of servants, not just to appease and protect these civilians.When the armies really confront each other, or even start to be routed, is the moment when they really exert their strength.

It only depends on how long the person surnamed Pei can hold on for a few days.

"Your Majesty! Jinyang is sending troops in a big way, and Lishi is in a hurry!" I don't know how many horses escaped and died, and it only took more than a day for the battle report to be delivered to Liu Yuan's desk from Bingzhou.

Now Liu Yuan is leading troops to attack Hedong, and has already conquered two cities.But after that came Wenxi, and Anyi, the governor of Hedong.Hard bones like Pei's and Wei's are very difficult to crack.

At this critical moment, when he suddenly heard the news that Li Shi was in a hurry, even Liu Yuan was taken aback: "Liang Zixi wants to hit Li Shi?!"

impossible!Didn't Liu Hu have already got the news and is advancing towards Xinxing County?With the enemy watching from behind, how could Liang Zixi rush to attack?What has become of Lishi.Even if he didn't want him, would Liang Zixi bother to take it away?

"It's not Governor Liang, but the new governor of Bingzhou, Pei Dun, commanding the troops." The soldier got the most comprehensive information and immediately reported.

"Pei Dun!" Just hearing the name, Liu Yuan understood.This is to save Hedong!This boy from the Pei family is really daring, he dared to drive Bingzhou soldiers to break through the east area!Why didn't Liang Zixi stop him?

After thinking for a moment, Liu Yuan said decisively: "Order Liu Hu to attack Jinyang immediately!"

What does it mean that a new governor of Bingzhou can send troops to rescue Hedong without shame?It means that Jinyang's political situation is unstable and empty!At this time, if Liu Hu and Baibu Xianbei are allowed to march in a big way, they might be able to take down that fortified city!If the city is broken and Liang Zixi is killed, what is the meaning of the remaining Pei family children?Moreover, if Jinyang is lost, the attacking Jin army will also lose its morale. Wouldn't it be an excellent opportunity to win Bingzhou in one fell swoop? !

"Xuan Ming, you lead another five thousand horsemen to aid Lishi! You must defeat Pei Dun's troops!" Liu Yuan ordered to his son Liu Cong without stopping.

Who is Liu Cong?In an instant, he understood the importance of this battle, and he clasped his fists and accepted the order: "My minister will definitely let the soldiers and horses of Bingzhou go and never return!"

He hasn't had a good time these days.That family member Liu Yao did not know what kind of luck he had, first he captured Chang'an, and then captured Feng Yi.However, he has never washed away the shadow of Shangdang's defeat.In this way, wouldn't it be left behind?Now taking advantage of the civil strife in Bingzhou, if he can take Jinyang in one fell swoop, it will be a great achievement!

Seeing his son's proud appearance, Liu Yuan laughed: "As long as he wins Hedong, Gu will formally ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor! The way of heaven really is on Gu's side!"

Hearing Liu Yuan's bold words, all the officials congratulated him in unison.Now it is only the state of Jin, and there are two emperors.False dragons are fighting each other, so what's the point of having one more real dragon?

The battle in Hedong was not hindered by Lishi's emergency, but instead, he rushed towards the predetermined prey even more swiftly!

And in the territory of Shangdang, a group of people is also marching quietly.The leader is none other than General Zhang He who is now in command of the Shangdang troops!

As the flanks of this army, their marching speed is beyond the imagination of most people, and the direction of their advance is even more unexpected.Not Lishi, but passing through Nie County and approaching Jingling.This Jingling City is not far from Qi County, and it was also the city that the Huns captured by massacring the city before.

When everyone is turning their attention to Lishi, how many people will stick to these "rear" small towns?

Although they are all infantry, each of these soldiers is resolute and vigorous, and their steps are orderly.Just like a pack of silent and dangerous wolves, they rush towards the locked target without stopping starry night!
