after being kidnapped by the general

Xin Zhou asked, "General?"

Chu Hechao: "Nothing."

He put down the hand rubbing between his brows, and the expression on his handsome face disappeared, becoming condensed and resolute.

Outside the city gate, Yuanli watched the figure of the army gradually leave, and finally disappeared.

He recited "return safely" several times in his heart before he collected his emotions and led people back in a sense of loss.

Yuan Li naturally saw Chu Hechao's reluctance, the reluctance was not hidden deep, but it was thick and astringent, which made him feel uncomfortable too.When Chu Hechao briefly hugged him, Yuan Li even heard the man's beating heart clearly.

Yuanli was worried, what should I do.

After Chu Hechao lost his parents, he relied too much on Yuanli, as if Yuanli was his second life.He has only been away for a few months now, and he looks like this. If he goes to a farther place to fight in the future, will he have to tie Yuanli to his belt?

Yuan Li wanted to sigh, but remembered that Chu Hechao would scold him every time he sighed, so he suppressed the sigh again.

Yang Zhongfa was left in Ji County by Chu Hechao. One was to protect the safety of Ji County, and the other was that Yang Zhongfa was old. Although he was still brave and good at fighting, he was old after all.

Yang Zhongfa knew the meaning of this very well, he was not depressed, he followed Yuan Li cheerfully and said: "General this year follows year after year, every birthday is spent in chaos, this year is also the same."

Yuan Li was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked, "When is the general's birthday?"

Yang Zhongfa said: "The fourth day of the first lunar month."

This time has passed, Yuan Li said absentmindedly: "He never told me."

"It's the same if you don't say it. A man who lost his father can't have fun on his birthday. I just remembered it by accident," Yang Zhongfa quickly persuaded, "Master Yuan, you should be happy, don't be sad Before the general left, he told me not to make you sad."

Speaking of this, Yang Zhongfa himself was also very surprised. He joked: "If I didn't know that the general loves his family and would never take away his brother's wife, I thought the general was treating you as..."

He stopped talking abruptly, and slapped his mouth twice awkwardly, "I said the wrong thing again."

Yuan Li's mind also raised nervously for a moment, but on the face he pretended not to hear it, he smiled calmly, and said in other words: "The general is attacking Bingzhou, can I send him a letter?"

"After occupying Jinyang, Taiyuan, the general will use this place as his base, and then my lord can naturally send a letter to the general."

Yuanli nodded, "I see."

On the fourth day of the first lunar month last year, he was immersed in the death of the patriarch Taigong. This year, there was a snowstorm and an attack on Bingzhou, so he was also very busy.But it's fine if Yuanli doesn't know. Now that he knows, he can't just ignore the past like this.

Chu Wang and his wife had just died, and Chu Hechao's birthday would never be celebrated, but Yuan Li wanted to make the man happy.The matter of his "feeling in love" with Chu Mingfeng has always been a knot in Chu Hechao's heart. Usually, when he wants to explain to him, Chu Hechao will be furious when Chu Mingfeng's name is mentioned, but now Chu Hechao is far away. In Bingzhou, it was just right to write a letter to let him know the cause and effect and be happy, and it could be regarded as his birthday gift to Chu Hechao.

After Yuanli made up his mind, he kept an eye on the progress of Chu Hechao's attack on Bingzhou.

Chu Hechao brought [-] light cavalry, and each of them only carried ten days' worth of food for a thousand-mile raid. Within seven days, he entered Bingzhou from the desert on the north side, first entered Yanmen County, and then raided from Yanmen County to Taiyuan County.

The counties and counties in the prefecture were all devastated by the snow disaster. As a world-renowned general, Chu Hechao took all of these counties and counties without much effort.Even after learning that Youzhou was attacked and that the general leading the army was Chu Hechao, these county magistrates didn't even have the intention to resist, and they abandoned the city one by one and fled, with the gates of the city wide open.

On February [-]th, Chu Hechao was like a broken bamboo, and easily defeated Jinyang in Taiyuan who was defenseless because the assassin escaped.

On February 5000, fifteen counties in Taiyuan County were destroyed one by one, officials fled or surrendered, and county soldiers captured [-] people.

After Chu Hechao occupied Taiyuan County, he immediately sent news to Youzhou.Ling Yuanli sent people to lead [-] Youzhou soldiers to Taiyuan County to assist and capture the remaining eight counties.

After Yuanli got the news, he immediately counted the number of people.

Youzhou's garrison cannot move, only the newly trained Youzhou recruits can move.The [-] Youzhou recruits had initially achieved results, so Yuanli sent Wang Er and Guan Zhihuai to lead the team to Taiyuan County.

Yuanli appointed his own people as the chief general without any jokes, but appointed Guan Zhihuai as the chief general and Wang Er as the deputy general.

There is also a matter of who is the chief general and who is the deputy general. Wang Er has only led a thousand men in battle, and has never led ten thousand men in battle. Letting him lead [-] recruits in battle will only harm others and himself.

There are good and bad generals. Some generals can only lead hundreds or thousands of people to fight. Once the number is too large, they will be in a hurry. Leading thousands of soldiers to fight is a watershed. Generals who can lead more than ten thousand people to fight are all modern. The number one star.

Guan Zhihuai is a famous general who can lead tens of thousands of people to fight. Yuanli sent Wang Er as his deputy this time, and he also wanted him to learn from Guan Zhihuai.

After Wang Er learned of this, he didn't mind becoming a lieutenant at all, but was ecstatic.This was the first time he participated in such a big battle, leading so many soldiers to the battlefield, Wang Er couldn't hide his excitement after taking the order, and immediately returned home to pack his bags.

Chu Hechao sent not only a message from Bingzhou, but also a congratulatory gift for Yuanli's birthday - a cart of bamboo leaf greens and a cart of Fen wine.

These two wines are special products of Taiyuan County in Bingzhou. The bamboo leaves are green and sweet, and the Fen wine is soft in the mouth and has a long aftertaste. It is one of the world-famous fine wines.Chu Hechao always remembered Yuan Li's words that the drinks were not good, so he brought him these two carts of drinks.

The soldier who brought the letter to Chu Hechao also said, "The general said that you will not make it in time for your birthday on March [-]th, so I will send these first, and I will apologize to you when I come back."

Yuan Li was stunned for a moment, with sweet and sour in his heart, and finally couldn't help laughing.He went to the car and touched the wine jars, and suddenly wanted to see Chu Hechao.

He let out a bad breath and told his soldiers, "Go back and tell your general, I will open the altar after he comes back, and celebrate with him the joy of winning Bingzhou."

The soldiers clasped their fists in response.

Yuan Li took out another letter and handed it to him, "You hand over this letter to the general yourself, and you must never let anyone else know about it."

The soldiers looked solemn, carefully placed the letter in their arms, and said: "Master Yuan, please rest assured, even if this subordinate dies, he will still deliver this letter to the general."

The [-] Youzhou soldiers came faster than the light cavalry. After half a month, Guan Zhihuai and Wang Erliang arrived in Jinyang, Taiyuan.

Chu Hechao had already led his men to attack Shangdang County. Taking advantage of the Huanglong Army's lack of reaction, he won several victories.

After Guan Zhihuai and Wang Er learned of this, they rushed to Shangdang County to meet Chu Hechao.

Chu Hechao was discussing with Xinzhou in the barracks whether to wipe out the Huanglong army, or force the Huanglong army to retreat to the Taihang Mountains, and force them back to Yizhou to cause Wu Shanshi a headache.After hearing that Guan Zhihuai and Wang Er were coming, Chu Hechao told them to come in quickly.

As soon as the two came in, they saw their valiant general looking over with burning eyes. In the slightly dim tent, his eyes looked like fierce tigers and beasts, which almost shocked them.

Chu Hechao seemed to have something to ask, but after all, he didn't ask now.Instead, he beckoned the two of them to come in and assigned tasks to them respectively.

He asked Guan Zhihuai to take Wang Er and 3 horses to the middle of the road, all the way west, and took down the three big counties of Xihe County, Shang County and Shuofang County.Then let Xinzhou take 2 people on the road, all the way north, and took four small counties of Yanmen County, Yunzhong County, Wuyuan County, and Dingxiang County.

He personally led the light cavalry to take down Shangdang County, which had the largest number of rebels and was the most chaotic and difficult to attack, and took command of Taiyuan and Shangdang to command the overall situation.

Chu Hechao has always been like this. If it is easy for the enemy, he will give up the opportunity to make military achievements to his subordinates.If the enemy is difficult, he will face it and take the lead in the battle.

"We came here quickly and in a hurry. Because of the snowstorm in Bingzhou, most of the counties and counties have lost the way to report letters, and they cannot send the urgent situation of Taiyuan and Shangdang in time. This is an advantage," said Chu Hechao. The fingers in the cowhide gloves quickly slid across the map, and said concisely, "Let's go immediately, take this opportunity to seize the opportunity."

All three of them knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as long as they worked hard, they could get the general's skills!They couldn't hide their excitement, and clasped their fists loudly in response: "Yes!"

After finishing the business, the atmosphere in the barracks became much more relaxed.Chu Hechao sat down calmly, tapped his fingers on the armrest, raised his eyelids to look at Guan Zhihuai and Wang Er after a while, and asked, "Did Ji County bring anything?"

Guan Zhihuai and Wang Er were taken aback, what should I say?

Everyone's eyes could not help but focus on Wang Er, and only Wang Er was Yuan Li's confidant among the people present.

Wang Er was even more confused, he tried his best to think back, seeing the general's face getting darker and darker, he shook his head hesitantly and said: "My lord didn't give any orders, I just asked my subordinates to learn how to lead troops with Master Guan. fight."

Chu Hechao stared at him for a while, until Wang Er was dripping with cold sweat, and then said in a low voice, "It's gone?"

Wang Erdao: "It's gone."

"..." Chu Hechao's complexion changed, "Oh."

This sneer made Wang Er's hair stand on end.

After Chu Hechao said to back down, Wang Er jumped up and ran out of the camp first.

In the empty tent, Chu Hechao poured a glass of water expressionlessly to get angry.

Good guy, it's only been a month and a half since you left, so you don't think about him at all?

Little heartless.

When he was feeling angry, the soldiers who were going to Ji County to deliver the letter came out and said to Chu Hechao in a low voice: "General, my lord sent me to tell you that he will wait for you to return to open the altar for the two carts of wine. Celebrate with you the joy of capturing Bingzhou."

Chu Hechao's anger stopped just like that, and his expression slowly relaxed, and he said to himself: "It's not bad, I finally have a little conscience."

His thick eyebrows were stretched, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he was in a good mood.

The soldier said again: "My lord also asked me to bring you a letter."

Chu Hechao sat up suddenly, the chair rang a few times, his eyes were burning, "Hurry up and bring the letter!"
