Go to ancient times and engage in construction

After the young master borrowed six thousand horses from the king of Chu, he couldn't wait to go north to attack Zhao.Wei Shuqing not only gave great financial and material support, but was also responsible for purchasing large ships to transport troops from the state of Wu, and also raised enough food and grass for the young master, and even smuggled military supplies.In the face of Wei Shuqing's great help, Young Master Shi's trust and reliance on him surpassed that of the patriarch Wei, and left the leased army to Zuo Yi, who was recommended by Wei Shuqing, to take full responsibility.

Zuo Yi is very good at fighting and marching. He knows the situation of the garrison troops on the rivers along the border of Zhao State. , Then the army entered the state of Zhao on a large ship.

Before Zhao Jun lost his sentinels and didn't notice their invasion, Zuo Yi led [-] Chu troops to the river bank safely, built a stronghold at the river bank mouth, and stood firm.When the sky was bright, Zhao Jun suddenly found that the enemy was close at hand, panicked, and launched an attack before he had time to prepare, annihilating two thousand Zhao's garrison in one fell swoop.

Seeing the great victory of the master, the young master has more confidence in his great cause of restoring the country, and urges Zuo Yi to take advantage of the victory and go northward, heading straight to the capital of King Zhao.Zuo Yi didn't wait for Young Master Shi to urge him, so he took the initiative to formulate a plan to go deep into the hinterland of Zhao and attack Zhao Wangdu. He headed forward, advancing towards King Zhao's capital as quickly as possible, trying to catch the King Zhao's defense army by surprise.

News of the Chu army's invasion flew to the capital like snowflakes, and these urgent reports were delivered to King Zhao.Knowing that the enemy army was approaching, the capital fell into panic, because the garrison in the capital is the least in the history of Zhao State. King Zhao weighed it over and over again, and finally sent an urgent message of [-] miles to his son, asking Zhao Xuan's team to come back for rescue.

"Impossible!" Zhao Xuan opened the urgent mail, and refused to believe the contents of the urgent mail.

"Your Highness, what happened to the royal court?" Seeing Zhao Xuan's expression changed drastically, Bo Yao couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"Five days ago, Young Master Shi and the King of Chu borrowed six thousand soldiers to invade our country's border." Zhao Xuan couldn't figure out that the stingy King Chu would change his temper and generously lend soldiers, horses, food and grass to the subjugated son, and volunteer to help him restore the country.

"Huh? Chen Guo is willing to lend a way to Young Master Shi, a playboy?" Bo Yao thought that Young Master Shi borrowed a way from Chen Guo to enter the territory, and he doubted the authenticity of the urgent message.This kind of act of blatantly making an enemy of a strong neighbor is too unlike the actions of the always cautious Lord Chen.

Zhao Xuan shook his head, he ordered his personal guards to fetch the map of Zhao country, opened the map, pointed at the junction of Zhao and Chu countries and said: "Young master should enter from here."

"Where there are high mountains to block, young master Shi led the Chu army over the mountains and over the mountains to enter?" Boyao didn't think the Chu army had the climbing ability of monkeys.

"No, it's from this river." Zhao Xuan pointed to the small river crossing the mountains on the map.

In order to prevent the state of Chu from invading the state of Zhao from the river, [-] troops were stationed at the entrance of the river on the border of Zhao Xuan. Chu's military ships could not carry many soldiers, and a small number of soldiers could not grab the beach and stand unsteadily. Two thousand troops were deployed to defend. Live in the river.

"Your Highness, in order to attack the Tang Dynasty, most of the troops in important cities around the country have been mobilized. Our country's rear defense is empty. If we let the boy take advantage of the false attack to approach the king's capital, what should we do?" Boyao was impatient. Separated by high mountains, Zhao Guo has no soldiers and horses stationed except for some defense troops on the border rivers.There is basically no line of defense in the southwestern area of ​​Zhao State. As long as Young Master Shi defeats the [-] soldiers stationed at the mouth of the river, he can easily go north and approach the capital.

"Zhu Zi chooses a good time!" Zhao Xuan gritted his teeth, and there are more than [-] troops deployed near the capital, although Zhao Xuan doesn't think that the young master is capable of attacking the capital, but he can't take the risk of not sending his troops back to rescue.

Zhao Xuan looked to the north, one more day before he could seize the territory of the Tang Kingdom, how could Zhao Xuan be reconciled to letting him be his teacher now.

"Bo Yao, lead [-] soldiers and horses and continue to advance, and only [-] elite soldiers will go back to the division to stop that Shuzi." Zhao Xuan weighed it over and over again, but in the end he couldn't let go of the fat that was approaching his mouth.

"Promise! My minister obeys!" Bo Yao led [-] troops and continued to hurry towards the Zhao-Tang border.

Zhao Xuan led [-] elite soldiers to turn around and hurried back to the capital for rescue.The king is the root of Zhao Xuan, and Zhao Xuan can't afford the consequences of the king's capital being captured by Zuo Shi.

Bo Yao led an army of [-] troops to the border of Zhao and Tang in a hurry. After resting in a small city on the border of Zhao, he crossed the border and entered the territory of Tang, preparing to attack the key city on the border of Tang.This pass city is the passage to enter the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty. After breaking through this city, there will be no strong and difficult pass on the way for Zhao Jun to march towards the king of the Tang Dynasty.

In addition to being extravagant and extravagant, King Tang was also very afraid of death. He attached great importance to border defense and spared no effort to strengthen the border cities.The city wall of this pass city in the western part of the Tang Kingdom was also very tall and strong.

The Zhao army marched lightly. In addition to the three-day ration and the necessary weapons and arrows, the soldiers left the siege equipment to the auxiliary soldiers to carry it slowly. Now they want to attack the important pass of the Tang Dynasty, and the necessary siege equipment can only be placed on the spot. put up.

Boyao sent his soldiers to the nearby forest to cut down trees, and at the same time he rode his horses to the fortified city for observation.The gates of this pass city in the Tang Kingdom were closed, and the soldiers on the high walls of the city could be seen faintly. What surprised Boyao was that there was no military flag hanging on the high walls.

Boyao carefully observed the actions of the guarding soldiers on the city wall, and found that those soldiers were doing defensive work in an orderly manner in the face of the enemy's pressure.This calm and orderly defensive posture made Bo Yao startled.The villages of the Tang State are all behind the pass cities, and if you want to rob the people of the Tang State for food, you must first win the pass.Zhao Jun rushed here in light clothes, and the rations he carried could only last until noon tomorrow. If he didn't capture the key pass before noon tomorrow, Zhao Jun would be hungry.

"General, the ladders have been built." At Weishi, that is, around one o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Jun rushed to build more than a dozen ladders.

"The whole army buries pots and cooks food, and prepares to attack the city after a full meal!" Boyao issued a military order.

There are only [-] defenders in the key pass of the Tang Dynasty. With the bravery of the Zhao army, they attacked the city with [-] elite soldiers. It is estimated that they can be captured before dark.

After Boyao's military order, Zhao Jun began to prepare busyly. At this moment, a dragon-shaped military flag was raised on the tower of the city at the pass of Tang State.

"Look, Wu Guojun's flag is raised on the city wall of Tang State!" Zhao Jun soldiers shouted while pointing at the city of Tang State in amazement when they found out.

Bo Yao was sitting in the temporary military tent studying the map of Tang Kingdom, when he heard the noise of soldiers outside the tent, he hurried out to put his hands together to look around.

Sure enough, a golden dragon flag swallowing fireballs rose up from the tall buildings in the pass city of the Tang Dynasty. In addition to this military flag, there was also a black general flag.Bo Yao was very familiar with this black general flag with the word 'Wei' embroidered on it. It was this general flag that blocked Zhao Jun's throat four years ago.

"Wei Qing has already captured this city?" Boyao couldn't believe it. The direction of Wu's march should be the capital of the Tang Dynasty. How did Wei Qing go to the border of Tang and Zhao to seize the border pass?

"Zhao Wuzai, don't come here without any harm!" Wei Qing appeared on the top of the city tower and greeted Bo Yao.

"General Wei, what's the point of Wu Guo not going to capture King Tang to avenge Young Master Ming and go to the Zhao-Tang border?" Boyao forced a smile.

"Haha, Wuzai, don't worry, our country has captured the capital of King Tang now, so King Tang must have been captured by our army." Wei Qing said with certainty.

It was Ma Ren who was ordered to capture the capital of the Tang king. Wei Qing's duty was to seize the key city on the west side of the Tang state, and keep the Zhao army in the west of the city, so that the Zhao army could not enter the hinterland of the Tang state to fight for land.The evening before yesterday, Wei Qing led [-] Wu troops to the east gate of the key pass city, blasted the east gate of the city with explosives, and occupied this important gate city at an easy price.After Wei Qing cleaned up the resistance forces in the city, he immediately tried his best to repair the east city gate that was blown up by the explosives. When Zhao Jun arrived, the east city gate had not been repaired. It was not until the repair work of the east city gate was completed that Wei Qing ordered the soldiers to raise the Wu Guojun flag And his own flag.

Wei Qing has not received news of the progress of Ma Ren's attack on the waterway. Wei Qing is not clear about the specific situation of Ma Ren's attack on the capital, but this does not prevent Wei Qing from fooling Boyao.

"What? You have captured the capital of the Tang Dynasty?" Boyao was shocked. If Wu Jun captured the capital of the Tang Dynasty and captured the King of Tang, it means that the country of Tang has already fallen. The country of Zhao is not blocked by the city in front of him, but it is not blocked. The country can't get any benefits.

"Yeah, I'm really sorry, Wu's army marched a little faster, and your army came late! Now that Tang has been captured by our country, please return to the country, Master Wu Zai." Wei Qing looked regretful.

Wei Qing's words made Bo Yao almost vomit blood. How dare Zhao Guo work hard for a month just to travel to his own border?

"General Wei, I thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had an agreement with the great general of your country to send troops to attack Tang. Now that our army has arrived here, the general should open the gates of the city and let our army march northward to wipe out the remnants of the Tang king. "Bo Yao squeezed out a smile to discuss with Wei Qing. Even if the attack speed of Wu State was as fast as lightning and broke through the King's Capital of Tang in just five or six days, the northern part of Tang State would not be occupied too quickly. If that is the case , Wu Guo is not marching and fighting, but marching and training.

"Wu Zai's words are very wrong. At the beginning, it was agreed that the land captured by the army of one side will belong to that country, and the other party who arrives later must take a detour. Now this city is already the land of Wu State. If your country wants to Command north, please enter from the northern mountains." Wei Qing pointed at the northern mountains of the pass city, and asked Boyao to lead [-] Zhao troops to cross the mountains.

Boyao used his strong will to force himself to swallow the cursing that had come to his lips. He squeezed out threats word by word from between his teeth: "General Wei, our country's [-] soldiers and horses cannot go for nothing. If General Wei He refuses to let our country's army pass through the city, so Bo Yao can only lead the [-] strong troops to break through!"

When Bo Yao spoke, he was very clear about the figure of [-] soldiers and horses. Although Zhao Jun didn't have this number, there were only [-] soldiers and horses, which were still [-] soldiers and horses lacking equipment and food.

Wei Qing raised his eyebrows, and his face did not look at the densely packed Zhao Jun under the city wall. "Wu Zaixiu wants to be so intimidating. Wei's army is only [-], which is not as strong as Wu Zai's elite soldiers and horses. Wei's life is cheap. Since Wu Zai wants to tear up the alliance contract to compete, Wei's life is worthless." I will accompany you to the end!"

Boyao increased his army by [-], and Wei Qing increased his army strength by one-third.

Seeing that Wei Qing was confronting each other tit for tat, Bo Yao froze on the spot, not knowing what to do next.The Zhao army had only [-] tired soldiers who lacked siege equipment and food.In a siege battle, if you don't have twice as many troops as the defenders, don't try to break through the city.

Thirty thousand against thirty thousand, the attacking side basically has no chance of winning.Apart from the fact that there is no chance of winning, Boyao can't decide whether to tear up the alliance agreement with Wu now.As for Wei Qing's suggestion of crossing mountains and ridges to snatch the northern city of Tang, it doesn't work at all.It will take at least half a month for the army to cross the mountains and reach the plains of the Tang Kingdom.With the bravery of Wu's army, in the past half a month, the entire Tang country had been swallowed up, and Zhao Jun's trek across the mountains could only be a tour.

"Soldier! Deliver the general's order, and the whole army will return to the division!" Boyao thought for a while, but couldn't think of a solution to the current situation. The only thing he could do was to send the news to Zhao Xuan on a fast horse, and bring the army back by himself. Go to Zhao State and wait for Zhao Xuan's instructions.
