overbearing

Zhou Jirong was only two years old at that time, and he was still breastfeeding. He didn't know anything except eating, drinking, playing, and sleeping all day long.That is to say, he later learned about such a thing from other people, but he really didn't have the slightest impression of the fact of the siege.

Because of his father's death, his elder brother was quite taboo about this war, and he rarely mentioned it. It was rare for Zhou Jirong to understand his elder brother for a while, and he dared not say that he actually didn't even remember what his father looked like, so he didn't bother Get to the bottom of this matter.

Bai Tingyu didn't know much, so he thought for a while before answering: "...It seems that I happened to know a hidden mountain road back then, and bypassed the checkpoint to get in."

"In the past few years, there is no corner in Hanzhou that I haven't been to!" Zhou Jirong said, "Where is this road? Why doesn't I know?"

Bai Tingyu said: "That road was originally just a small path stepped on by the herbal pickers in the mountains. The narrowest point could only barely pass a person and a horse. Later, His Majesty ordered someone to blow up the mountain wall, and this road was broken. Many years ago It's okay, I just vaguely remember some..."

"My elder brother didn't tell me about such an important matter!" Zhou Jirong complained, and then said: "Could it be that this time he is playing the old trick again? That road really can't be taken?"

The two looked at each other, and after a while, Bai Tingyu thought about it and said: "Your Majesty is doing things safely, and he never reminded you to pay attention. The road should be completely broken. Moreover, there are cavalry patrols in the territory of Jianzhou. Slip in without any alarm. If you are not at ease, then protect the patrol route of each team of cavalry for ten miles?"

Having said that, Zhou Jirong, who is usually heartless, was extra vigilant in some aspects. He got up and walked around the room twice, stopped and looked at Bai Tingyu and said, "That's not the solution, the most important thing is We must find out the whereabouts of the Xiongnu Shan Yumo's men. As long as we find out the whereabouts of this army, we can see what their purpose is."

Bai Tingyu had a vague feeling in his heart, and Zhou Jirong blinked and said: "The food and grass have been handed over for the past few days, and I have nothing to do. When the old age is over, let's order some troops and go out for a stroll." !"

The young prince of Zhou said that he slipped lightly. Naturally, he is not satisfied with running around Hanzhou City, and it is also possible to slip all the way to the border.Although Zhou Jirong didn't say it clearly, but based on Bai Tingyu's understanding of his dog temper, he always felt that he meant to lead a team deep into the grassland to find the Huns' bad luck.

This is not a problem in peacetime. In the past few years, Hanzhou's army has always gone to the Huns' territory several times every year. However, the leader of the army is now someone else, and most of Hanzhou's troops are on the front line to obey orders. , They don't have many people to mobilize at hand, and Zhou Jirong's move can only be regarded as arbitrariness, which is not something worthy of admiration.

However, what is helpless is that Zhou Jirong has always had his own ideas, and has never been one to listen to persuasion.In other matters, he might sell Bai Tingyu's affection, but this time even Bai Tingyu couldn't persuade him.

The captain sent by his brother to marry him is still in the city, plus Duan Ningze who will come back anytime soon, these two can be regarded as his brother's trustworthy confidantes, and they are also capable.Zhou Jirong felt that the two of them were now doing the work that he was doing alone, plus Liu Jingyu, who was a little more stable after being tempered. That guy suffered a relapse of his broken foot after the bumpy trip. But his broken leg was not a claw, and he could always help with some copying and writing paperwork, and there were two reliable clerks under his own staff, and the manpower could not be more sufficient.

So he put the burden on his shoulders with great peace of mind, no matter what mood the two of them were in, he explained to them all the affairs of accounting for food, grass and armaments to support the front line, and briefly mentioned his own considerations.Of course, he didn't directly say that he was going to "take a walk". Taking advantage of others' unpreparedness, Zhou Jirong quietly ordered two thousand cavalry from the army stationed in Hanzhou City, and led his original guards in a cool and unrestrained way. People and horses, ran to observe the enemy's situation.

Along the way, some men and horses were drawn from various places to accompany them, and the rest of them strengthened their defenses. They drew thirty or fifty here, sixty or seventy there, and finally gathered more than [-] cavalry.Although there was no transfer order for the group, but with Zhou Jirong leading the team, no one dared to stop him and let him run to the border without any hindrance.

When he arrived at Tongguan, the two sides were fighting, and a group of people took advantage of his unpreparedness to launch a surprise attack from the Huns' flank.The Huns have fought many battles with the defenders in the city these days, and they have more or less figured out that their opponents this time are not the former border defenders, at least not all of them.Although it is also necessary to fight, it is simply not a better thing to face the fierce and powerful opponent who was immortal and endless.

But such a good day is obviously coming to an end, at first sight of a group of people suddenly killing in front of them, Zhou Jirong's inexplicably excited face is the first to bear the brunt, those who have never seen him are still at a loss, but those who recognize him are almost out of their wits.

All of a sudden, the opponent was in disarray, and before the Chinese army had time to support them, the group had already pierced the left wing and walked away.

When the guards who stayed here heard about this and rushed over, they could only see a few faint figures from a distance, and in the blink of an eye, they couldn't even see the shadows, and it was too late to chase after them.We had to settle the matter at hand first, and taking advantage of the opportunity of the chaos on the left wing and the opportunity of the party's rustic revitalization, the whole army pressed forward, picking a huge advantage for nothing.

-----------------

When they reached the grassland, Zhou Jijun became more cautious.The team spread out in a fan shape, and several small teams were scattered along the way to scout and inspect along the way. They walked a hundred miles deep into the grassland, and then followed the border red from north to south, and drew a long road around the border of Hanzhou. arc.

To him, the grassland is the backyard of his neighbor’s house. He always runs here a few times a year, the shortest is ten days and a half months, and the longest is three and a half years. It can hide tens of thousands of horses, and I probably know what kind of canyon can set up an ambush.

What Zhou Jirong had to do was to find the other party's clues, and he didn't think about what he could do to the other party.Anyway, his group is all light cavalry, and each of them has at least two horses for replacement to maintain a certain foot strength. Even if they can't beat the opponent with force, they can always run away.

But along the way, except for a small group of people who were escorted by the Huns to escort food and grass once, nothing was gained at all.

In addition to robbing food and grass, Zhou Jirong also captured two captives, both from small tribes, and he couldn't figure out why, so he had to kill them in the end.

On the sixth day in this way, he met his own people who were ambushing outside.
