After the pair of sworn brothers met each other, they exchanged greetings. Zhao Wuxi looked at the thousand people behind Han Hu and said with a smile, "Is this the prefecture and county Han soldiers brought by Ziyin?"

"Of course."

Wu Xie shook his head and said, "You hate me."

Han Hu explained: "Although a county can send out a division, it has to keep some people to defend the city, so I only brought so much. But don't worry about Zitai, Yewang and Huai County can also send troops. I'll be there in a few days, and I'll bring 4,000 Han soldiers to join the army of rebellious army commanders!"

Anyway, now the three families of Zhao, Wei and Han have agreed in unison that Fan and Bank of China obstruct Zhao's handling of housework. They are the culprits and rebels. There was a lively fight here, and Han Buxin and Fu Sou in Xintian were also constantly complaining to the Marquis of Jin, trying to gain military advantages while also gaining public opinion in the court.

At the end, Han Hu also joked: "There are many bowmen here, and I have to thank Zitai for the 2,000 bows."

Zhao Wuxi glanced at it, and sure enough, Han's soldiers are characterized by a large number of long-range arms, accounting for almost half of them, and there are few front-row troops who can play a solid force. The skill points of this family are really crooked...

He knew that the Han family had left some strength, but it was better than nothing. As long as he promised to distribute the Fan family's land to them and completely pull the Han family into the water, the Zhao family's supply line would be safer and the pace of victory would be accelerated. point.

Zhao Wuxi pondered that Fan Jishe could be besieged in Yongyi, and then he deliberately sent a messenger to Chaoge for help. At that time, the remaining Fan Bing and Zhong Xingyin of Chaoge were likely to come to the rescue and lead them here to defeat the battle. If so, then the big thing can be settled!

However, what happened later was something they never expected. When Zhao and Han arrived outside Yongcheng, it was the time when Zhao soldiers were attacking the city fiercely.

"Why didn't we wait for us to encircle, and then the fight started!?" Zhao Wuxi was shocked by the sound of killing, he beat his horse into the camp, grabbed one of Zhao's retainers, and asked.

The servant looked up. He hurriedly saluted, "You gentleman, things have changed. Fan Jishe has abandoned the city and headed north, and people in this city are panicking. Just in time to follow the trend!"

…

After the First Battle of Qinshui, Fan Jishe returned to Yongyi with less than 2,000 troops. He had lost the courage to fight in the field. At the suggestion of Wang Sheng, he chose to keep some of his troops in Yongyi. He himself continued to flee north.

Zhao Yang wanted the whole army to chase after the city, but in the face of this situation, Yang Hu suggested: "Fan Jishe has been gone for a day and a half, and the light car is very fast, so it may not be able to catch up. I think the best policy is Surround Yongyi first and try to capture it."

"Why?"

"If we bypass Yongcheng and go north and ignore this county, it will be unfavorable for the Zhao army to advance. It will face the danger of being attacked by the enemy. And once our troops capture Yongyi, this will become the base for our advance, a hundred miles ahead. Inside, there will be no great city to block it, and it can run rampantly without hindrance.”

Zhao Yang agreed that the defenders of Yongyi were no more than a thousand, and they were abandoned by the lord, so he only made a symbolic resistance, and in one day, he was defeated by Zhao soldiers.

Zhao Wuxi just caught up with the whole process. At night, stepping into this Fan's county, Wu Xie first felt the deep hostility in the eyes of the people when they looked at him through the crack of the door. This look. He had also seen it where he occupied Muyi. For the people of the Fan clan, the Zhao clan was an intruder who killed their sons and nephews and looted their grain fields.

Zhou She, who came to greet him at the door, seemed to see what Zhao Wuxi was thinking. He sighed and said, "Liuzheng's name is Jinqing, but it is actually the Six Kingdoms. Although Fan Jishe is not as far away as his father, he is also a defender. Your Majesty, you can still listen to the admonitions of your retainers, not to mention the legacy of the four generations of Fan Wuzi, Fan Wenzi, Fan Xuanzi, and Fan Xianzi, how can you easily erase them?"

Indeed, none of the previous generations of the Fan family were simple, which is why they now have so many resources and land. Zhao Wuxi thought: "These Fan's cities are not easy to defend. The people's hearts are still towards the Fan family. With the strong temperament of the people of the Spring and Autumn Period, it may not be easy to subdue them with small graces and graces."

What's more, this is a war. If Zhao wants to survive, he must cut flesh from the enemy's people.

But you also have to pay attention to the degree. If you are brainstorming at this time and play the slaughtering of the city and the ground against aliens, I am afraid it will lead to greater resistance from the people of the Fan family in Chaoge and other places, and even make the people of Xintian hostile to the Zhao family.

He finally found Zhao Yang at the scorched Yongyi mansion treasury. Zhao Qing frowned at the scorched food and equipment on the ground.

"Fan Jishe returned to Yongyi the night before, and left yesterday. Before leaving, he not only took the active soldiers, but also most of the young and strong men, and those who resisted were even connected to the government before they surrendered. Ku was also set on fire, it seems that they are not planning to leave anything for us..."

Zhao Wuxi was silent for a while, then suddenly bowed to Jishou and said: "The boy thinks that Fan Jishe wants to give up the lonely Yong, and go north to the densely populated places such as Fan and Gong, trying to merge with the Bank of China and shrink the line of troops. You can advance, attack, retreat, and defend. If you let him succeed, the war will probably become extremely long, and the boy is willing to take the lead as the vanguard and attack that area first!”

Zhao Yang sneered at him and said, "Why, don't you feel tired now?"

Cold sweat broke out on Zhao Wuxi's forehead. He was really tired the night before. In addition, he was running around by himself throughout the war. Zhao Yang waited by Qinshui and did nothing, and even pointed fingers at him, which made him a little angry. , disobeyed his father in public.

It was also Wu Xie who was used to being the leader of the state of Lu. He forgot the feeling of being subservient to others and wanted to go back. Although Zhao Yang did not think about it, he had to be patient.

Zhao Yang's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he changed it. If his son dared to do this, he would definitely beat him severely, and then drive him to the stable to reflect, and he might not be able to use him for the rest of his life.

But now he can't do it. Zhao Wuxi's status and reputation can almost match him. He has more soldiers than himself, and his family members are also very vocal.

So Zhao Yang raised his feet high and lowered them gently. After kicking his son to the ground, he whipped him a few times with a horsewhip and scolded him with a smile: "I think your wings are hard, and you want to fight with him. Fly on each side for the father, and stand up for yourself!"

Zhao Wuxie's scalp was numb: "Boy dare not..."

"Don't dare? I see your actions in the State of Lu, except for usurping the position of Marquis of Lu, I'm afraid there is nothing you dare not!"

Zhao Wuxi didn't refute either, he licked his bleeding lips and smiled secretly with his head bowed.

After scolding, Zhao Yang stared at Zhao Wu Xie, who seemed to be acknowledging his mistakes, and his heart softened again. What kind of boy is not disobedient? When he was young, he had a valiant temperament, and he was very angry with his father, Zhao Jingzi.

His anger gradually subsided. He snorted coldly: "Well, you have defeated Fan and Handan this time, and you have made great contributions, and I will not hold you accountable. I will not hold you accountable. Since you took the initiative to fight, the position of pioneer will be handed over to you. It’s only a hundred li from here to Fan, if you are lucky, you can catch Fan Jishe’s tail!”

…

Transfer to the horses provided by Zhao Yang and Han. Zhao Wuxi and three thousand soldiers set off overnight as a striker. He did catch Fan Jishe's tail. When he caught up with Yulongqi, it was already two days later.

It has already penetrated into Fan's territory, with cities and towns all over the place, and the distance between them is very short, and they are densely connected. From behind those fences, in the gully of Qian Mo, if you are not careful, there will be Fan's diehards ambushing.

That Fan's retainer, Wang Sheng, was indeed not a simple person. He had arranged for someone to stay in the township to monitor Zhao's whereabouts along the way. If they can stop it, they will stop it, although those Fan's militia who are loosely formed are easily defeated.

"Fan Jishe abandoned you guys and ran back by himself, why should he stay here and die?"

After the small town named "Ningyi" was stormed into and conquered by Zhao soldiers, Zhao Wuxi sternly questioned the old Fan who stayed here to defend the last soldier and insisted on staying on the sentry tower to shoot arrows. retainer.

The old official of the Fan family had a natural determination in his eyes: "My great-grandfather served Fan Wuzi and went to Qin with him. My great-grandfather served Fan Wenzi and fought in Yanling with him. My grandfather served Fan Xuanzi. In order to protect him , lost his life in the Luan's rebellion. My father served Fan Xianzi, and when he kidnapped the Wei family head, he stood by his side and guarded with a shield. When it comes to me, he must be loyal to the Fan family!"

In the third generation, the family is the ruler, the second generation is the master, the ruler is to die, and the master is diligent... The loyalty of Liuqing's retainers is many times stronger than the loyalty of Lu people to Luhou. Zhao Wuxi was speechless and could only slash the man with one sword. Send him faithfully.

Every Qing clan has its own die-hard loyalists. This is not only a confrontation between the two suzerains, but also a battle in which the retainers under their command are clever and brave.

This is war. Since Zhao Wuxi came to the Spring and Autumn Period, he has encountered a war in the true sense. This is no longer a petty fight among the old nobles, but an endless war of extermination!

In this situation, there are enemies everywhere. When I heard the news of Zhao Bing's "invasion", in addition to Fan Bing, who was left behind by Wang Sheng, there were also many people who helped the old and brought their young to the north. They were either afraid of military disasters, or I hope that I can get shelter in Chaoge, but Fan Jishe can't protect himself.

These people also caused a lot of trouble for Zhao Wuxi to pursue and chase. After raising the butcher knife to disperse them, Wu Xian also suddenly understood that when Duke Zhou angrily called the rebellious Yin and Shang survivors as "Yin stubborn people", I am afraid that he had also Facing a similar situation.

He didn't stop everyone until he reached a dirt road very close to Fanyi and saw that Fan Ji's Royal Dragon Flag was flying over this county town that was several meters high.

Still a bit late.

"Although I didn't catch up with Fan Jishe, the situation of Fan Jishe and the whole generation has been clearly figured out, and the obstacles on the road have been eliminated. , we will continue to remove those small towns and lilu who are in the way, and then we must face Fan Jishe, who is relying on Fan and a total of two strong cities, UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com and those under his command who hate like flies stubborn..."

It was already early May, and it had been a month since the war started. Zhao Wuxi was eager to know how things were going on Chaoge and Jijin.

In the follow-up troops, not only a division of Lu Zhongjun, a division of Lu Zuo army, a division of migrant militia, but also a thousand soldiers. If they can join this side, only in the east of Taihang, Zhao's troops will surpass Fan and Zhonghang!

They evacuated Fanyi, seized a small town as a bridgehead that threatened the enemy city, and then began to collect food everywhere to prepare for the arrival of the army. Naturally, the way was not friendly purchase, but horizontal looting.

This is for victory, in order to stop the bleeding in Nanyang Land sooner, Zhao Wuxi reluctantly said to himself, this is war.

However, two days later, they were not only waiting for more than 10,000 main forces led by Zhao Yang and Han Hu, but also a Lu soldiers with a crooked flag.

"General, Jijin has been lost..." The bearded Robber Zhi had a gloomy expression on his face. He was a self-proclaimed warrior and brought this bad news to Zhao Wuxi. (To be continued.) Mobile users, please visit //m.ia
