overbearing

Zhou Jirong was not the main general of this expedition. Moreover, the 3000 people he took away were all from his own headquarters, and the number of people was not too large. The battle situation has no effect.But because of his special status, no one dared to turn a blind eye to his actions. After learning about it, they only hated that he brought fewer people.

Originally, the Xiongnu robbed the food and wealth of Shuangtong and retreated to the depths of the grassland. The army stationed here was able to resist the invasion of foreigners. The end of the truce where the flags and drums died down.If there is more dissatisfaction, they can only recuperate and drill each other, rectify the special forces, and only wait for the next year to fight again.

But Zhou Jirong couldn't run away now, no one would be idle now, no one in the original generals dared to take it lightly, the generals who planned to train on the spot had to change the original step-by-step training plan. The Xiongnu who caught the retreat continued to pursue, and sent a large number of scouts into the grassland to inquire about Zhou Jirong's whereabouts.However, it is not easy to move the army, and it takes a few days to prepare for the cost of food and grass. In addition, Zhou Jirong's neighbor's site is not all bragging, not to mention the Wang Qi deep in the grassland. The location is well known, but the general distribution of the tribe is very familiar, and there is no trace left along the way.

No one knew where his target was. This considerable number of scouts sifted through a radius of more than a hundred miles, but they never found the whereabouts of the group of people.The commander who led the army this time was in a hurry, although the army under his hand was ready to go, but in the vast sea of ​​grass, he didn't know where to instruct them to live in order to find the confused little prince.

On the contrary, although the people in Jianzhou who originally belonged to Zhou Jirong were also worried, they knew the situation on the grassland better, and they didn't know that those who came from there had full confidence in Zhou Jirong, and they were calmer than the people from the court. Seeing them worried Anxious, he could comfort them in turn, because it was not the first time for Zhou Xiaohou to go deep into the grassland, so he would naturally act cautiously.

It's easy to distinguish between the two groups of people, the army that came in all called Zhou Jirong the little prince according to the current rank, only the Hanzhou sergeant still used the old name and never changed his name, and when he mentioned Zhou Jirong, he was still the little prince. .

Just relying on such a word of nowhere, how could everyone feel relieved, they only smiled wryly at each other, and slandered Zhou Jirong, the reckless ancestor, from head to toe in their hearts, but they had no choice but to look forward to him If you really know what it means to be careful, you can act cautiously, don't make any mistakes, and come back safely as soon as possible.

Although the army didn't know where to rush to the security office, they had no choice but to make preparations to be dispatched at any time. Chen Bing was at the junction of Hanzhou and Grassland in case of emergency.

Fortunately, this time Zhou Jirong finally had a bit of humanity, and he knew how to take care of the morale of the soldiers he left behind in Hanzhou. Whether it was the soldiers he brought or the people from the rivers and lakes, they all had their own ways of delivering news. After receiving the letter, he first reported that he was safe, and told all the generals not to be slack in training and defending the city for a day. He also said that he would come back before the north wind blows, just a few words, and did not say what he was doing there. .

The letter is really very Zhou Xiaowang's style. It only makes people want to jump and go crazy. Two or three months, ancestor!What you took so few troops to is the enemy's lair, it's really your back garden!Although the 20 army claimed by the Xiongnu is an imaginary number, there are still 10,000+ people who returned, but don't let you meet them, ancestor!

There are so many concerns.

But a few days later, the second letter arrived again, and it was still a few words without pain.After that, every few days passed, there would always be letters arriving as promised, and there were only a few dry words in the letter, and finally the contact was not broken.After staying again, not only the letters returned, but also teams came back one after another with a large number of horses and some gold and silver. Finally, they knew that Zhou Jirong and his party were safe and sound.

However, Zhou Jirong took advantage of the emptiness behind the Xiongnu to do this thing against the enemy's lair. Although there were not many people, they were more flexible and often came and went like the wind. Their whereabouts were uncertain. These people separated from him a few days ago, but it is no longer clear what he is now where.

This kind of thing is fine in the early stage, but later on, the other party will naturally become vigilant after they are aware of it, and it will be more difficult to succeed, and the risk will also increase, which is really worrying for him.

However, there is probably some good luck in this world. Except for the first two years when I just died when I was young and left my brother, Zhou Jirong has been running amok for so many years.This time, the way of heaven still favored him.Finally, as he said, when the autumn wind was getting colder, the group of people came back safely and unscathed.

——It can't be regarded as unscathed, the number of people is still hundreds less than when they set off, and Zhou Jirong even wrapped an arm.But everyone looked proud.

The group of people did not enter the towns along the way, and rode their horses straight to Hanzhou City.

Zhou Jirong had just arranged for Yan Su and his party's board and lodging, and now he was free to sit down in the hall of his Hou's mansion and drink some water to moisten his throat, feeling that his buttocks were still warm.Several generals who heard the news came to the door. Although their expressions were not fierce, they were so blue that they almost turned into tortoise shells.

Zhou Jirong knew that sooner or later he would have to face these people, but he didn't expect them to come so quickly, so he gave Fang Zhen a look at Fang Zhen who led them in rashly,

In the past two months Fang Zhen has been released, it seems that he has not made much progress in checking his appearance, nor does he have the slightest intention of introspection.He saw Bai Tingyu sitting at the table from a distance, but when he saw a group of people approaching, he got up and quietly stood aside.Fang Zhen couldn't help but look at Bai Tingyu's face a few more times, Bai Tingyu noticed something, raised his head and smiled at him, with a calm and calm look on his face, which made Fang Zhen feel a little embarrassed for some reason, hurriedly He moved his eyes away, but a thought vaguely came up in his heart, feeling that although Xiaobai still looks like Xiaobai from before, there seems to be something completely different,

It seems that he followed Zhou Jirong to the grassland, and the relationship between the two became more intimate. The kind of intimacy is different from himself and Lao Shi and others. It is as fine as silk and everywhere. It makes people feel a sense of frustration that cannot be compared.

Over there, Zhou Jirong smiled at them, and before they could speak, he jumped ahead and said, "Your Excellency came just in time, I have something to tell you, which saves me the time of running around."

He smiled and said: "Before I came back, I asked the soldiers who went with me to set off a few fires separately. The fire probably burned a little... Although the wind is still favorable now, but the weather is dry, so people have to be careful and don't look at it carefully." Burn the fire on our own heads! By the way, if there are any teams patrolling outside, call them back as soon as possible, just keep our own territory, and don’t let it be roasted on the pasture.”
