Zhao Shuo was one of the few nobles in the imperial family of the state of Qi.
This time, the Han and Qi dynasties jointly attacked the state of Tang. Zhao Shuo was introduced into the palace by the Empress Dowager and personally granted a secret plan.
Zhao Shuo was originally very resistant to leading the army to fight with the Tang Dynasty. Although the Han country carried the big head, the Tang army was not easy to match. In those years, the Xuanjia army was terrified, and the Qi country had the strength to fight others.
Sure enough, although we won the battle of xiaochengshan, we lost a lot. We defeated half of the Tang army, but we lost almost half of our soldiers. How can we fight this battle.
No, just now another Tang army has entered the country. The Tang army defeated by the Han Army fled into the territory of Qi and will reach xiaochengshan at any time. At that time, it will be dangerous.
Fortunately, he was quick witted and stopped the Han soldiers who came to deliver the letter.
Thinking about the agreement just reached with Han Jiang, Zhao Shuo was happy.
As long as there was a county around Gaokan mountain, the Han army was willing to wipe out these defeated troops. It not only promised to wipe out all the defeated troops, but also left all the booty.
This is a big victory. The land around Gaokan mountain is poor. It's useless to fart. Take it out and exchange it for some booty. It's cost-effective.
When the Han army withdrew from the state of Qi, he could tell the whole story about his deal with the Han Army, and count the credit for defeating the Tang army on his own.
If the Han Army refuses to withdraw from the state of Qi, what does it have to do with themselves? Who knows, I invited the Han Army to enter the country to eliminate the Qi army. They sent troops without authorization and occupied our land regardless of the friendship of their allies.
Zhao Shuo entered the camp humming a song with such a small abacus in his heart.
Before entering their own camp, their own soldiers came and reported:
"General, the governor sent someone to see him in the Chinese army."
He looked around, saw no one around, lowered his voice and said:
"It's not a good thing. I have a fellow on duty in the Chinese army. He's on guard today. He stood close to the camp and heard the commander roar inside. He said that if you dare to cooperate with the Han Army, he'll cut you down."
Zhao Shuo snorted coldly, "go, take someone with me. I'll see how he cut my head."
After patting his follower on the shoulder, Zhao Shuo said proudly, "hum, within half a month, I told him to get rid of Zhao Chang from his handsome position. He has been defeated repeatedly. The Empress Dowager has long been dissatisfied with him."
Soon, Zhao Shuo's elite soldiers were gathered. Zhao Shuo took the lead and went straight to the middle army.
Outside the account of the Chinese army, the captain of the customs guard stopped Zhao Shuo with an ugly face:
"General Zhao, the governor just ordered you to get up alone. The brothers behind you have dispersed."
"Wow"
The sound of drawing a knife rose everywhere. The Qi army gathered around pulled out a knife one after another and pointed to the talking captain.
The captain's face changed and he bowed to Zhao Shuo:
"General, this is an important area of the Chinese army. Brothers can't go, but you can only go in alone."
Zhao Shuo patted the captain on the shoulder and smiled into the middle army account.
In the account of the Chinese army, Zhao Chang and Wen Jing were discussing the encirclement and suppression of the Tang army. Suddenly, they were disturbed by the noise outside. Listening to the voice outside, their faces turned black.
Seeing Zhao Shuo entering the Chinese army, Zhao Chang's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
"Zhao Shuo, you have the courage to lead troops to the Chinese army without authorization. You want to die."
Zhao Shuo stood in front of the handsome case, holding a waist knife with one hand, his face full of sarcasm.
"How dare you kill me?"
"I'll kill you and show others."
Zhao Chang was very angry and pointed to Zhao Shuo. When he was angry, he would pass it to the Chinese Army's Pro guards.
Wen Jing stopped Zhao Chang at the right time.
"Commander, wait a minute. Listen to me, two generals."
Zhao Shuo loosened his hand on the handle and saluted Wen Jing:
"Mr. Wen, you see, it's the governor who wants to kill me. It's not me, Zhao Shuo, who is unkind. It's him, Zhao Chang, who is unjust."
Wen Jingxin said that you don't know what you've done. Now it's noisy again, but now both of them are angry. It's hard to say so.
"Well, let's be right or wrong, right or wrong."
"Both of you are the pillars of Qi. There are countless generals under your command. If anything happens to either of you, it will hurt your relatives and make your enemies happy."
"Our army was defeated only half a month ago. It was when the soldiers were frightened and tired. If they had another dispute and let Tang and Han see a joke, what would our army take to subdue the land lost to Tang and drive away the defeated soldiers of Tang who invaded our country?"
Zhao Shuo said loudly:
"Lord Wen, don't worry. Within half a month, I will lead my troops to defeat the defeated soldiers who invaded our country and never let them wreak havoc in the territory of Qi."
After saying that, Zhao Shuo saluted them with a fist, turned around and stepped out of the account of the Chinese army.
Zhao Chang's face was livid. He cut the handsome case into two sections with a knife. His face was very ugly.
"Turn him around!"
"Lord Wen, if it weren't for your face, I would have to cut off his head today. Relying on the Empress Dowager's favor, I wouldn't pay attention to me. Now I dare to go out of the camp."
"I'll join him now."
With that, Zhao Shuo turned and kicked down a soldier with a military booklet, and stepped out of the account of the Chinese army.
Wen Jing picked up the kicked soldier and looked ugly and tight. Zhao Shuo is rebellious. Aren't you Zhao chang the same waste? You can't deal with the Tang army. You're very powerful in your own nest.
"Are you all right, general Lian?"
Wen Jing asked about joining the army with a wry smile.
Joining the army sighed, "Lord Wen, do you say there is still hope in Qi?"
"Hope?"
Wen Jing looked around. Several Chinese military leaders Bo Du looked at himself with eager eyes.
Wen Jing closed his eyes and thought of the situation when he talked with Su across the road in the palace of the state of Han that day. Prince Su had no unique wisdom. Since he was not optimistic about China's state of Han, it shows that the state of Han really can't do it.
……
Zhao Shuo got out of the account of the Chinese army, turned over and put on the horse pulled by himself, and raised his arm.
"Go"
The tough Zhao Shuo got on his horse and surrounded Zhao Shuo out of the Chinese army.
There was nothing to do that night. On the second day, Zhao Shuo led his army to the Gaokan mountain generation according to the agreement with Xiao Liu.
It took only one day and night for Zhao Shuo's unified army to arrive at Gaokan mountain.
In order to avoid contact with the Tang army, Zhao Shuo did not dare to go straight to Gaokan mountain. According to the news from the spies, the defeated Tang army moved in Longfeng town at the foot of Gaokan mountain, occupied the key pass, and wanted to defend against the Han army.
The army made a detour to longwanggou.
The flagging Qi army walked lazily under the sun. The marching speed was quite slow. Zhao Shuo on his horse was also a little agitated. He felt tired and tight after marching for days. If he didn't have great achievements hanging in front, he really didn't want to go.
Two sentinels came from the flying horses in front of them, and their hooves flew. They walked in front of the army. The sentinels in crooked hats panted:
"General, I found traces of the Tang army ahead. I can't go any further."
Zhao Shuo was surprised, his fatigue was swept away, and his face was pale and asked:
"Tang Jun?"
"Our army has made a detour. It's going to Luojiang. How can we meet Tang Jun?"
"This is the sphere of influence of the Han Navy. Aren't they afraid to annoy the Han army?"
The sentry said that the Tang army was defeated by the Han army. I'm afraid it's useless. General, do you have shit in your mind and don't think about war.
"Qi village near Luojiang in the north is our place. We can rest there for the Han army."
Zhao Shuo's staff reminded Zhao Shuo.
Zhao Shuo's eyes brightened: "OK, let's go and station there. Be careful not to disturb the Han army."
"Hey, there's a fisherman over there. Catch it for me."
