I am a ruler in troubled times

Chen Jungang lost to the Yan army for the second time at the same place, and it was much more tragic than three days ago. It was the time when morale was low and he was at a loss.

After returning to the camp, the chief general and the deputy general went to Xue Lin's tent to plead guilty, and they hadn't had time to appease the soldiers who fled back in a panic.

The soldiers who stayed in the camp all the time were also frightened by the soldiers who fled back in embarrassment. When they found that there were only [-] left in the [-] army, they were full of thoughts of "as expected of Ji Tong".

In a short period of time, the entire Chen Jun camp was in panic.

So much so that the tight guard of Chen Jun's camp also unknowingly became loose. It wasn't until Yan Jun rushed to his face that he realized that the camp had been surrounded by Yan Jun, and the leading general was Ji Tong.

Fortunately, Chen Jun still had his instincts. While trying to embolden him with curses, he picked up his weapons and set up a formation, ready to fight back.

What really made Chen Jun despair was that they watched helplessly as the big tent in the center suddenly collapsed, and thick gray smoke spread from the corner of the tent, quickly covering the entire tent.

Along with the thick smoke, there are more and more intense orange-red flames.

Suddenly, the crowd roared hoarsely, "Your Highness! Your Highness is inside!"

This sentence was like a special order, making Chen Jun, who had been temporarily stagnant in place, move one after another.

Some people shouted different names and rushed to the burning tent, trying every means to save people, and some even took off their pants in a panic.

Others rushed to the stables immediately, left the chaotic camp, and went straight to the opposite direction to Luoyang.

……

Yan Jun in the distance also saw the chaos in Chen Jun's camp.

Because it was night, the thick smoke and flames rising suddenly were extremely conspicuous.

The scout who explored the way first came back to Ji Tong with a strange expression on his face.

Ji Tong raised a slap and slapped the visitor's shoulder unceremoniously, "Don't act weird, tell me what's going on inside?"

The person who came immediately said, "Prince Chen's tent has collapsed. The tent that is burning in the center of the camp is the tent of Prince Chen. The general of Chen Jun and the officials of Chen Guo accompanying the army are inside."

Suspicion flashed across the face of the veteran general who had experienced many battles, and his gaze suddenly became sharp when he looked at the scouts, "Silly boy, did he fall into the trick of Chen Guo to invite you into the urn?"

He has been marching for decades, and has never encountered such an outrageous thing.

What is this, God wants to destroy Chen?

Seeing Ji Tong's disbelief, the scout scratched his head anxiously, and hurriedly told him the whole process of sneaking into Chen Jun's camp with ease. In order to hurry, he didn't even catch his breath. After a while, his face turned purple.

Although there was no contradiction in what the scout said, it sounded believable.

But Ji Tong still couldn't easily believe that Chen Jun, who took down the country of Li with a destructive momentum, could be so outrageous.

The general's instinct would not shrink back from Ji Tong.

Even if he doubted it, he would seize this opportunity.

Ji Tong, who originally intended to scare Chen Jun, immediately changed his mind, and let the cavalry who came with him change into a sharp cone shape, and the infantry followed closely behind the cavalry.

Ji Tong stepped onto the horse, brandished a golden sword and rushed to the front, heading straight for the center of Chen Jun's camp, where the flames were blazing into the sky.

The nearly 7 Chen army was chased like a bereaved dog by the 3 Yan army led by Ji Tong. A full [-] people were left in the Yan State, and the remaining less than [-] people left the territory of the Yan State.

The large amount of luggage in Chen Jun's camp also made Yan Jun cheaper.

It's a pity that Ji Tong asked people to carefully identify all the corpses in Chen Jun's camp and on the way Chen Jun fled. There was no Prince Chen Xue Lin, and there were not even a few ministers who could be named by Chen Guo.

The person with the highest official position was General Chen Jun, who was found in the wreckage of the tent that had been changed beyond recognition. He had a dagger stuck in his back, which was probably the real cause of his death.

After Ji Tong saw the corpse of General Chen Jun, he remained silent for a long while. His hoarse voice made people bury General Chen Jun alone and set up a tombstone. It is not necessary to write the name and experience of General Chen Jun, so that people who are familiar with General Chen Jun can be buried. Just identify whose tombstone it is.

After taking Qin County of Yan State, Chen Guo wanted to go all the way north along the city of Yan State on the border of Yizhou and Yanzhou. He had prepared ample supplies, which met the urgent needs of the Yan army.

After several hours of contemplation in the brand-new tent, Ji Tong sent someone to pass on his military order to open the granary and give all soldiers a half-day sleeping leave.

As soon as this order came out, the soldiers who used to follow Ji Tong immediately understood.

In a few days, they will fight again with Ji Tong.

After conveying Ji Tong's military order, the lieutenant hesitated for a long time before going to Ji Tong in private and asking where Ji Tong was going to send troops.

Zhao Jun followed Prince Zhao to the north.

Now, they can return to defend the place where they were confronted with Zhao Jun, or they can directly kill Zhao Jun by surprise, or... take advantage of the situation to attack the city of Yuzhou that has been occupied by Chen Guo.

Even though he has followed Ji Tong for many years, the lieutenant still does not have the confidence to accurately guess what Ji Tong is thinking.

Ji Tong didn't feel offended by the lieutenant general.

He rubbed his big palm-like hands, and his tone couldn't be described as helpless or excited, "Not only those old things in Luoyang have to rack their brains to find a way out, but this general also has to think about the future. See Chongshan?"

Five days later, Song Peiyu, who was still staying in Qiu County, learned of the change in Qin County.

Faced with the sudden three-party attack, Yan State completely gave up its confrontation with Zhao State, and only barely dealt with the Turks, and desperately increased its troops towards Qin County.

Even Ji Tong was transferred to Qin County, which shows Yan Guo's determination.

After a short confrontation between the two sides, Chen Jun was defeated like a mountain.

The remnant soldiers took Chen Crown Prince Xue Lin and Chen Guo's courtiers and fled all the way back to Lixian County, Yuzhou.

Before Chen Guo could catch his breath, the Yan army had already approached the city.

Yan Guo was desperate to reject Jinshanguan and Luoyang, and also insisted on Chen Guo.

On the other side, there was a sudden civil strife in Chu State, and King Jia bore the brunt of it. He had to return to Jingzhou from Yuzhou, but was assassinated several times on the way, and was seriously injured when he returned to Chujing.

The civil strife in Chu State not only did not subside because of King Jia's return to Chu State, but intensified because of King Jia's serious injury.

The eldest grandson of the emperor, also known as King Cheng, who had been silent for a long time, just returned to Chujing from the imperial mausoleum at this time.

King Cheng, who had been guarding the mausoleum for three months, had a big change in personality. Suddenly, an aggressiveness that he had never seen before appeared on his body, and his personality unknowingly moved closer to King Jia.

After the courtiers were sensitive to the changes in King Cheng, their attitudes suddenly became ambiguous, and they no longer firmly supported King Jia as before.

The battle for the heir apparent in Chu State has become complicated and confusing again.

Lu Jihe unceremoniously went to pick up the stationery that Song Peiyu put down, glanced at the ten lines, and sneered, "The bamboo basket fetched water in vain, this sentence is really worthy of them."

Both Bo Yang and Luo Yong waited for Lu Jihe to put down the letter paper before they dared to look at it. Bo Yang was not sure about his guess, so he subconsciously turned his head to look at Luo Yong.

After Luo Yong noticed Bo Yang's gaze, he seemed to be grasping at straws, and looked at Bo Yang with his big black and moist eyes without blinking, waiting for Bo Yang to clarify his doubts.

Bo Yang laughed.

Thanks to the presence of Luo Yong and He Zhang, he will not fall into anxiety because he feels that he is too stupid.

As long as you look back, you will see Luo Yong who is younger than him...but lives a very happy life.

Bo Yang cleared his throat and said in a low voice, "Luoyang is completely undefended in front of the prince. Yan State first gathered the rest of the country to attack Yuzhou, maybe it was just to vent its anger. After beating Chen Jun to the ground and fleeing, Yan State may I came up with the idea to use the land of Yuzhou as a new bargaining chip with the crown prince."

"En." Luo Yong seemed to understand, but in fact, he didn't care why Yan Guo chased him all the way to Yuzhou after repelling the Chen army if he thought about it.

Compared to these, Luo Yong wanted to hear why Chu suddenly became chaotic.

Luo Yongzu lived in an escort agency, and thanks to his aunt's insight into heroes, their family was able to take advantage of Emperor Yonghe's success.

Even though Luo Yong's father was deeply trusted by Emperor Yonghe and controlled the entire military defense of Xianyang, there were still many families who looked down on his family.

Luo Yong's brows were a bit like Yuan, and he had been doted on since he was a child, and was loved by Emperor Yonghe as his own nephew.

Since he was born, whenever there is a good thing, Zhongzong and Chongyi will be able to get his turn.

If it weren't for Luo San's belief that a filial son should be born under the stick, Emperor Yonghe would never interfere with Luo San's discipline of his son, and Luo Yong had suffered under Chong Yi's hands since he was a child.

Luo Yong didn't know what it would be like to be arrogant.

Luo Yong, who is so arrogant, naturally wouldn't rush to make friends with the aristocratic family when he knew that some aristocratic families looked down on Cheng Enhou's mansion.

Luo Yong doesn't even recognize the aristocratic family in Zhao country, and he has no special feelings, let alone the aristocratic family far away in Yan country.

For Luo Yong, the State of Yan is just a place where the State of Zhao is bound to win.

No matter what actions Yan Guo made to resist or comply with Zhao Guo, Luo Yong would not find it strange, nor would he have feelings for it.

As for Chen Guo...

Because Chen Guo had shot Chong Yi several times and wanted Chong Yi's life, Luo Yong hated Chen Guo deeply.

He just wanted to know how unlucky Chen Guo was, and he didn't want to delve into why and how unlucky Chen Guo was.

Since the start of the war, nothing has troubled Luo Yong more than the state of Chu.

It has to be said that King Chu Guoxiang is a very sociable person.

In the whole of Xianyang, everyone who has been in contact with King Xiang may have a mediocre relationship with King Xiang, but no one has ever felt that King Xiang is not friendly.

Luo Yong and King Xiang are friends who have forgotten each other.

Zhao State and Chu State have reached an alliance for nearly ten years.

In the past ten years, there have been almost no differences between Zhao State and Chu State.

Whether it is the commercial routes in the Western Regions, the use of Jingzhou's estuary to the sea, or the golden leaf paper formula that Song Peiyu 'sold' to Chu...they are all beneficial to both parties.

In the hearts of many people in Zhao State, including Luo Yong, Chu State is a closer existence than Xiliang.

These people were also the most annoyed group of people after they found out that the state of Chu had turned to the state of Chen in the confrontation between the state of Zhao and the state of Chen.

In the eyes of these people, Chu State's actions are no less than betrayal.

Compared with Yan Guo and Chen Guo, Luo Yong cares more about Chu State. He wants to know that Chu State is not going well.

No matter why Chu State is having a hard time, Luo Yong will imagine Chu State's hardship as the price of betraying Zhao State.

But Luo Yong is not completely ignorant of winking, even if he is not interested in Bo Yang's words, he will not interrupt Bo Yang to talk about Yan Guo.

Ever since the State of Yan began to soften to the State of Zhao, Bo Yang's family suddenly remembered that there was another person in the family, Bo Yang, and began to communicate with him frequently, but they never mentioned that they wanted to take Bo Yang home.

Because of his embarrassing status, Bo Yang hasn't married yet in his thirties.

Emperor Lian Yonghe secretly revealed to Bo Yang that he would not have to worry too much about marrying a wife, as long as the girl's family agrees, Chong Yi can give Bo Yang a marriage.

However, after Bo Yang's family knew that Bo Yang had not yet married a wife and had children, they immediately asked Bo Yang if he wanted to adopt him, and even picked out the candidate for adoption, which made people stunned because of his ugly appearance.

Although Bo Yang had given up on returning to the Yan Kingdom long ago, and resolutely rejected the adoption, he has always maintained correspondence with the family.

Fortunately, Bo Yang had a clear mind, he would never express his views on Zhao Guo and Yan Guo's affairs at any time, and he would never inquire about Yan Guo's affairs with Chongyi or Song Peiyu.

The people in Donggong Elementary School also valued their friendship with each other, and would never embarrass Bo Yang in matters related to Yan Kingdom.

Luo Yong's rare and sensible appearance attracted Lu Jihe to look at him a few more times, and kindly pointed out the way for Luo Yong.

"You want to know about the state of Chu?" Lu Jihe asked with a half-smile.

Luo Yong's eyes lit up, he nodded crazily, and looked at Song Peiyu in the direction of Lu Jihe's fingers, his gaze was more urgent than when he looked at the teacher in Donggong Academy.

Song Peiyu spread out the last secret letter, put it on the table, and said casually, "It was too hasty to withdraw the manpower back then, some things were left in Chu State, and I forgot to take them back."

Received Song Peiyu's wink, Jin Bao took the initiative to stand up and explained to Luo Yong with a smile what was left in Chu.

Ten years is enough time for Zhao Guoren to open shops to every corner of Chujing.

Among them, the most conspicuous Zhao Guo shops are all within 30 meters of the major casinos in Chujing.

Only a small number of people who came from aristocratic families in the Chu state knew that these shops not only operated business, but also borrowed money.

Anyone who borrows money must have a mortgage, and the shops run by Zhao Guoren are no exception.

Some people use the ancient jade pendant at the bottom of the box as mortgage, and some use the house deed and land deed as mortgage... In general, it is no different from the pawnshop in Chu State.

The subtleties can be called a world of difference.

First of all, the shops run by the state of Zhao can take the initiative to come to the door, and can guarantee that if the owner has no ability to redeem the treasures mortgaged in the shops of the state of Zhao, the treasures will be sent back to the state of Zhao, and will not be sold in the state of Chu, and the things sent back to the state of Zhao will not be sold. It will not be sold to Chu people.

Secondly, the Zhao Guo store can guarantee that it will never disclose the information of the guests to anyone, even if the prince or princess presses them, they can still keep their mouths shut.

Looking at all the pawnshops in Chu State, only Zhao State merchants with a special status in Chu State have the confidence to make such a promise.

The most important thing is that people who don't have treasures as collateral can also 'pawn' money from Zhao Guo's shops.

For this kind of people, rather than 'being', 'selling' is more appropriate.

Without treasures as collateral, if you want to get money from Zhao Guo's shop, you have to tell the news that can impress the shopkeeper.

Not only that, the person who sells the news has to write down the news he said in black and white and sign it in black and white, so as to get the money from the shopkeeper of Zhao Guo's shop.

When the news sellers have enough money, they can also use money to buy back the news that has been written down in black and white.

At the beginning, people who wanted to get money from Zhao Guo shops would show their guards when they heard the news of 'selling', and immediately refused with righteous words. The shopkeeper immediately got out of Chu Jing.

There are also dudes who have nothing to do, making up some unreliable stories to humiliate the shopkeepers of the shops.

But after these dandies wrote down the stories they told, the big shopkeeper took out the money box and really wanted to give these people money.

Those who know that they can sell news for money in Zhao Guo's shops are those who need to pawn their belongings to live, and want to hide it from the truth.

Most of them are born in a family that has fallen into disrepair. They want to maintain the glory of their ancestors, but they are not motivated. They only want to sell their property to maintain their glory.

The big shopkeeper of the Zhao Guo store can definitely be regarded as generous, even a fool can see that the news is all nonsense, and he paid a hundred taels of silver.

These dudes who lived in luxury when they were young, or heard about the luxury life of their ancestors from their elders and old servants, but now they have to carefully cover up the emptiness of their homes, so as not to be looked down upon by outsiders, laugh in their hearts. At the same time, I can't wait to evacuate Zhao Guo's shops.

Zhao Guo's shops soon became famous in the specific circles of Chu State.

After about half a year, there was finally an 'honest man' who was willing to tell the truth, and he told Zhao Guoshang about his brother's affair with his father's concubine.

The news of 'Candide' is well-founded and can provide key evidence.

After the big shopkeeper put away the content written and marked in black and white by "Honest Man", he gave "Honest Man" 1000 taels of silver.

Zhaoguo Store kept its promise and did not tell the matter.

But when the 'honest man' was drinking the flower wine, he was coaxed by the wine girl next to him, so he said it out of his head.

The dudes were shocked.

1000 taels of silver?

This is what they spent for two years!

Before the night was over, someone rushed out from Hualou and went straight to Zhao Guo's shop.

Then he was arrested for trespassing the curfew, and after being paid by his family to cover the crime, the monthly payment was naturally suspended.

The dudes didn't panic at all.

No money?Go to the Zhao country store and you will have money!

The news received by the Zhao Guo Shop finally changed from being full of nonsense to being well-founded.

The people who sell news in Zhao Guo's shops have also changed from full-staffed dudes to occasionally appearing as the wife of the family or a small official in the court.

It's not that these people don't feel ashamed and are willing to sell the news in person.

They also want their trusted servants to sell news on their behalf.

But for the same news, the price difference between the housekeepers in the mansion and their own sales is five times different.

They can only get the most money from the Zhao Guo Shop if they tell the news to the shopkeeper of the Zhao Country Shop, and record what they say under the eyes of the Shop Manager of the Zhao Country Shop. money.

After all, face was lost to Yin Zi.

There are even some people who found business opportunities in this matter and took the initiative to act as second-rate dealers who specially introduced people to Zhao Guo's shops to sell news.

Over time, people gradually discovered the pattern of money given by the treasurer Zhao Guoda.

The more well-founded the news, the more money.

The higher the status of the person involved in the news, the more money.

The higher the identity of the person who came to sell the news, the more money he made.

……

The person with the highest status received by Zhao Guoda's treasurer was the youngest son of a certain prince of the Chu Kingdom, and he was often rewarded by the Chu Emperor.

He was not short of money, and he came to Zhao Guo's store to buy news purely for the sake of looking good, to prove that he could be better than his followers without relying on his grandfather or father.

In the fourth year of Yonghe, Zhao State and Chu State reached an alliance, and the shops of Zhao Guoren continued to open in Chu State.

It is now the 14th year of Yonghe, and Zhao Guo has been buying news for at least nine years.

"It's a pity that after receiving the order, the shopkeepers were all eager to run for their lives, and even left all the news accumulated over the years to Chu State." Jin Bao shook his head seriously, but his eyes were full of gloating.

Luo Yong took two steps back subconsciously, his head hadn't thought of clearing the barrier, but his keen intuition had already detected the deep malice.

"And then?" Luo Yong's voice became much quieter unconsciously.

Song Peiyu, who had already sorted all the notes on the documents, raised her head, "The Chu people who raided Zhao's shop didn't pay attention, and opened the box where the news was placed in public."

Luo Yong searched for the voice and looked at Song Peiyu, then took two steps back.

Song Peiyu smiled and shook her head, "It just so happens that a strong wind blows..."

The surprise in Luo Yong's eyes became more and more serious, and he asked foolishly, "You can also summon the wind?"

The second half of Song Peiyu's sentence was immediately stuck in her throat, and the weirdness in her eyes was no less than that of Luo Yong.

Lu Jihe laughed unceremoniously, and looked thoughtfully at Song Peiyu, who couldn't laugh or cry, and said in a drawn out tone, "Luo Yong's words are also true."

Song Peiyu said, "There was a wind that day, and the news in the box was blown everywhere. '

Only then would there be such a 'just right' wind that day, blowing many little-known news all over every corner of Chujing.

After all the news spread, everyone discovered that the mess inside the decadent family was just the most common, even 'normal' thing.

Among the aristocratic families, good brothers on the surface for a lifetime, stab each other in private, and only when the knife sees blood can it be regarded as the best.

There are even aristocratic families that began to decline inexplicably, and the reason was never found. It was not until they picked up the letter paper signed and stamped in black and white on the ground that they discovered that it was the "family acquaintance" who was playing tricks.

As for the authenticity of the contents of the note...

Most people just want to find the culprit who caused their misfortune, and then take revenge fiercely.

It seems that as long as this is done, they can become lucky again.

Who wants to believe that they are really unlucky?

Some people miss the grand occasion of letter paper flying all over the sky, but they can easily hear news about their own homes from the streets and alleys.

Individuals who were not very able to bear it passed out on the spot and were carried back to the mansion by the servants.

All of a sudden, the entire Chu capital was in disarray.

When copying Zhao State's store, King Jia was already the new crown prince by default in Chu State.

Such an important matter was naturally entrusted to someone who could represent King Jia.

In the end, King Jia's cousin and the Queen's nephew were chosen.

Now that things had gone so wrong, it was naturally Jia Wang's cousin who was responsible for it, and Jia Wang could hardly absolve himself of the blame.

It was precisely because of this that King Jia, who had already dispatched troops to fulfill his promise with Chen Guo to send troops to Yan County occupied by Zhao State, hurried back to Chujing.

If this matter is not handled well, let alone Prince Meng, whether he can return to Chujing in the future is another matter.

Luo Yong knew the information he desperately wanted to know, but he didn't have the happiness he imagined.

He was even a little annoyed, if he had known in advance that King Jia would hurry back to Chujing, he would have personally led people to ambush him, and would do anything to prevent King Jia from returning to Chujing.

It's a pity... the person who becomes the king is too useless.

It wasn't until Jin Bao confirmed that King Xiang stayed behind closed doors after rushing back from Yan to Chu, and was not implicated by the letter papers flying all over the sky in Chu Jing, that Luo Yong barely smiled.

In just half a month, the situation changed again.

The hearts of the people of Chu State were panicked. The battle for the crown prince, which had already been settled, was once again full of uncertainties. The Chu officials did not see the joy of winning a quarter of Yuzhou.

Chen Guo was even more overwhelmed, and failed to attack Qin County. After fleeing back to Yuzhou, he was pursued by Yan Guo, who fought back frantically, and lost several cities in a row.

Song Peiyu also received news that Xue Lin was seriously injured on the day Chen Jun evacuated from Yan State, leaving large burn marks on his face.

Even with the best medicine, these traces will only fade away, not disappear.

Last year, Xue Lin's confidants just used Xue Lin's direct brother Pojiao as an excuse to preach that "a king should not be incomplete", and then forced Emperor Xiankai to adopt Xue Lin's direct brother.

In less than a year now, Xue Lin is facing the risk of disfigurement.

I don't know if disfigurement is considered incomplete in Chen country.

Song Peiyu soon knew the answer.

Xue Lin's confidants were frantically inquiring about the news of famous folk doctors, but because they were too eager, they hardly took any measures to cover up the news.

So much so that Song Peiyu not only knew that Xue Lin's confidants were inquiring about the news of famous folk doctors, but also knew that Xue Lin's confidants were not only looking for famous doctors who could remove scald scars, but also looking for famous doctors who could make men look good.

Both Chu State and Chen State were too busy to take care of themselves.

Yan Guo put all his energy in Yuzhou.

Chong Yi led the Zhao army to the north and was fighting fiercely with the Turks.

Song Peiyu suddenly had fewer things to do every day, and Lu Jihe even had to do the preparation of luggage for the Zhao army going north... suddenly felt a little empty.

His original plan was to go after Chong Yi non-stop after handing over everything at hand to others.

But the situation changed too fast, Song Peiyu was free, but it was not a good time to chase after Chongyi.

When Chong Yi headed north, he went straight to Jinshan Pass, passing through several counties of Yan State without stopping.

The people who went after Chongyi almost perfectly reproduced Chongyi's marching route, Chongyi didn't stop, and they didn't stop either.

If Song Peiyu goes after Chongyi now, he will face the risk of being surrounded by the Yan army, or even captured.

After hesitating for a few days, Song Peiyu led the [-] troops from Qiu County to the nearest county to Qiu County, which was still in the hands of Yan Guo.

After the garrison in the county of Yan State left, the news in the county became easier to inquire about.

Song Peiyu has long known how many troops are stationed in each of the 21 remaining counties in Yan State.

Except for Jinshan Pass, which is almost completely blocked, and Qin County, which is constantly increasing troops in the south, only Luoyang has the largest garrison, only 1 people, only one-seventh of Xianyang.

In other counties, the garrison generally ranges from [-] to [-] troops, which can only maintain basic law and order and guard against bandits.

Song Peiyu saw the city wall with the Yan flag planted in the distance, and suddenly became a little nervous, subconsciously turned her head to look at the Zhao flag and the Suzaku flag waving in the wind.

With Chongyi's prestige and the might of a [-]-strong army, the Yan army in the county...wouldn't fight desperately?

Maybe even voluntarily surrender.

It doesn't matter if you don't surrender.

Anyway, the [-] troops were eating food at leisure in Qiu County. Song Peiyu deliberately brought a lot of luggage, including enough tents and rations, to allow the [-] troops to camp outside the county for half a month.

Song Peiyu touched the sapphire string entangled with the wooden beads on his wrist, finally suppressed the tension, took out a whistle with a special sound from his sleeve pocket, and blew it, ensuring that every soldier behind him could hear clearly sound.

'array forward'

Song Peiyu rode on Chifeng's back, staring at the position directly in front of her without squinting, suddenly feeling a little regretful.

Luo Yong should be brought out, at least Luo Yong is a general, and he will never bring down the momentum of the entire army by himself.

Jin Bao, who was beside Song Peiyu, was in charge of observing the city wall through a telescope. This kind of undignified and lacklustre thing, he would tell Song Peiyu who was sitting dignifiedly on the horseback the latest discovery at any time.

"Why is there no one on the city wall? Could it be that the Yan Kingdom has sent more troops to Jinshan Pass or Qin County?" Jin Bao's voice was full of doubts.

Song Peiyu blinked her eyes. After Luoyang received the news that Chong Yi and Zhao Jun were going north, they would never send more troops to Jinshan Pass. The disappeared Yan Jun must have gone to Qin County.

"Someone is here!" Jin Bao's speech speed increased sharply.

Song Peiyu's back was even straighter, almost collapsing into a straight line.

"Why are there more and more people? What was Yan Jun doing before? He didn't even do the most basic guards!" Jin Bao followed Song Peiyu, and was used to seeing Zhao Jun's orders and prohibitions. Seeing Yan Jun's lax look, his tone was full of Hate iron but not steel.

Song Peiyu waited for a while, but didn't get the information he wanted, so he could only ask actively.

"Are there many Yan soldiers?"

"Are the expressions on their faces ready to try and fight, or are they flustered, or are they calm and ready to accept their fate?"

"Are there feathered arrows and shields erected on the city wall? Have you seen any large equipment for defending the city?"

……

Jinbao was almost asked stupid by Song Peiyu.

He has been with Song Peiyu for so many years, and he has seen the world. He even knows all kinds of secret rules in the army, but he never knew that when he really attacked the city, he had to pay attention to so many details.

In a hurry, Jin Bao answered Song Peiyu's question completely by instinct.

Whatever Song Peiyu asked, he would answer.

Song Peiyu didn't ask, he couldn't say anything.

Not only did Jin Bao become more at a loss and despair the more he answered the question, and he didn't know what he was talking about at all.

Song Peiyu also felt that after he got the answer from Jin Bao, the thoughts in his mind not only did not become clear, but became more and more chaotic. to ice cold.

Song Peiyu put the golden whistle hanging around his neck into his mouth, and blew it according to a certain pattern, and at the same time tightened the rein to stop the red wind.

Zhao Jun, who was advancing neatly, immediately stopped in place.

The lieutenant who had been listening to Song Peiyu and Jin Bao's conversation all the way forward stepped forward, his face twisted because he wanted to hide his smile so much, "What's your order?"

Song Peiyu glanced at the lieutenant general's expression, then turned to look at the county seat that was close at hand, his gaze passed over Yan Jun with different expressions on the city wall, and said expressionlessly, "Back back five miles and set up camp in place."

After he transferred a trustworthy general from Qiu county, he would formally send troops.

otherwise……

Song Peiyu felt that because he led an army of [-], he would be wiped out in a city with less than [-] troops, and he would become the most failed example of civil servants transformed into generals in the history books.

He really didn't want Chongyi to receive the news at Jinshan Pass that he was visiting Luoyang.

"Poof", "cough", "cough", "cough"

After the lieutenant found that he couldn't hold back, he quickly reached out to cover his mouth to make up for it, and turned the smile on his face into seriousness with difficulty.

He put down his hands and showed a tense face, his eyebrows trembled fiercely a few times before regaining his composure, and gently advised Song Peiyu, "The Yan army on the city wall doesn't seem to have any intention of resisting, why don't you send someone to call the door first?"

Song Peiyu looked at the lieutenant general from helplessness to thoughtfulness.

door?

Can attacking a city be the same as being a guest?

Is it because he doesn't read enough, or the lieutenant is deceiving him.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, Song Peiyu's stiff mouth gradually turned into a kind arc, and he looked up at the Yan army on the city wall.

Such a close distance is enough for Song Peiyu to see the expressions of some Yan Jun clearly.

He could see curiosity and awe on the faces of these Yan Jun, and there was indeed no emotion similar to hatred or disgust.

However, Song Peiyu couldn't easily believe that the Yan army on the city wall was harmless.

It is said in the military book that "soldiers never tire of deceit". Who knows if the Yan army wanted to lure the enemy to go deep, so they deliberately showed weakness.

"retreat……"

Song Peiyu hadn't finished speaking when she was suddenly interrupted by Jin Bao.

"The gates are open!"

After the city gate was completely opened, Yan Jun came out in an orderly manner, and his movements were uniform, which was no different from Zhao Jun.

The Yan army on the city wall also rushed down the city wall, and consciously stood behind the Yan army who had already lined up neatly.

The lieutenant whispered to Song Peiyu, "500 people."

Fifteen hundred Yan troops raised their heads, walked up to the thirty thousand Zhao troops in unison, and knelt down on one knee under the leadership of the general banner.

The general banner held high the military order of the county seat, and said in a deep voice, "Wang Shi, the general banner of the Moxian garrison in Yan State, brought the Mo County garrison to Zhao State, please be merciful."

Song Peiyu's face was sluggish, and it was rare for her to be unable to react.

Is this... the end?

Without even calling the door, Yan Jun opened the door on his own initiative?

Overjoyed, the deputy general held the military orders held high in the hands of the general flag of the Yan Army, and knelt down on one knee in front of Song Peiyu, "Congratulations, Mr. Song, for winning the first battle! You are truly a natural born general!"

Song Peiyu was startled by the deputy general's sudden voice and voice, and took a small step back. She was not timid because of her obsession with "dignity", but her eyes inevitably widened, and she looked at the deputy general's pitch-black head in surprise.

What?

Born to...

Wouldn't the lieutenant's conscience hurt?

Zhao Jun, who heard the lieutenant general's roar resounding across the sky, also knelt down on one knee, and repeated the lieutenant's words with high spirits, "Congratulations, Mr. Song, for winning the first battle! A born general!"

Song Peiyu's face contorted for a moment, and she became more determined to wait for Qiu County to send a trustworthy general before continuing to advance towards Luoyang.

He looked relievedly at Jin Bao, who was completely different from those people who were kneeling on the ground and flattering with their eyes closed, standing beside him unstained from the mud.

Jin Bao's pupils dilated, and he opened his mouth silently, unable to tell whether he was excited or frightened.

Sensing Song Peiyu's gaze, Jin Bao blinked his eyes, and his knees slammed on the ground with a 'bang'. The voice that was completely out of shape with excitement resounded, "Your attack speed is faster than your Highness! You..."

Song Peiyu turned her head expressionlessly, covered her face, walked past the crowd of people kneeling on the ground, and walked towards the wide-open city gate.

This is definitely the last time he leads troops!
