MTL - Wei and Jin Cooks-Chapter 724 Mission

  Chapter 724 Mission

   Liu Cong led the army all the way to the city of Jinyang. The people outside Jinyang hid in the city. Liu Kun defended the city and couldn't get out.

  Liu Kun himself is not good at fighting, but he also has good generals under him. Linghusheng was one of them, with him, Liu Cong could not enter Jinyang for a while.

   It's just that they don't have extra troops to assist Liu Xi in Jizhou.

  Pingyang's edicts came one after another. Liu Cong learned that Zhao Hanzhang and Chen Bing were outside Pingyang City. Even if he knew that she was encircling Wei and saving Zhao, he could only lead his troops back to defend.

   What's abominable is that Shangdang's position is obviously more important, but she bypassed Shangdang, only Chen Bing was outside Pingyang City.

   But Shi Le only waited and watched but did not send troops.

  Liu Cong, like Liu Yuan, couldn't afford to gamble. Once Pingyang was lost, the prestige of the Han Dynasty would be wiped out.

   Liu Cong left only a part of the soldiers and horses, and returned to the court with his troops.

  He hurried back to Pingyang with the army, but Liu Cong almost died of anger because Liu Yi ran to Zhao's army camp and couldn't send troops.

  He didn't hide his anger, and directly smashed everything in the house.

   "General, the envoys have already set off. Could it be that our squadron came back to discuss peace?"

   "Yes, General, this matter cannot be left alone."

   "If you want me to say, it doesn't matter who he is, it's important to win Zhao Hanzhang. If you can defeat her here, maybe you can take Luoyang."

   "It's good to talk about this kind of delusion here, but not outside."

"Your Majesty is still covering up for the King of the North Sea, saying that the King of the North Sea is trying to understand the difficulties in Pingyang, otherwise the Zhao family army will attack at night before the general returns, but we went out for a walk, and there is no enemy army within 20 miles outside the city. There is no trace of the army being stationed, and any night raids are all nonsense! I don’t know whether Zhao Hanzhang lied to the Seventh Prince, or the Seventh Prince lied to His Majesty?"

   "Okay, it's too late to say anything now, General, let's just do nothing and let Zhao Hanzhang lead the way?"

  A cold light flashed in Liu Cong's eyes, "Zhao Hanzhang almost took over the entire Sizhou, and the Central Plains was all in her hands. Did Emperor Jin and Gou Xi not react at all?"

  He clenched his fists and said coldly: "Send someone to Yuncheng with a heavy gift. Since she can go straight to Pingyang County, we can also make her rear fire."

"yes!"

  Other ministers in the court can tell Liu Yuan to give up Liu Yi, but neither can the crown prince nor Liu Cong.

  Liu Yi is not only Liu Yuan's favorite son, but also the son of Empress Shan, the legitimate son.

  Liu Yuan admired the rule of the Han Dynasty. Although the ministers in the court did not like the rule of the Han Dynasty, they recognized one thing very much, that is, the eldest son inheritance system.

  So Liu He is the prince, because he is the eldest son of Liu Yuan's original spouse.

  After Liu He, Liu Yi is the second heir in line.

   To be honest, Liu Cong doesn't think much of Liu He, the big brother, and he thinks his father doesn't think much of him either. If he could choose freely, Liu Yuan would probably choose Liu Yi.

  So, Liu Cong can't target the prince, nor can he target Liu Yi, Liu Yuan will be very unhappy.

  The relationship between their father and son is actually not that deep. Liu Cong has a feeling that his father will kill him for his great cause, and he will also kill him for Liu Yi.

  When Liu Cong just selected a good person to go to Yuncheng, Wei Jie and Zhao Xin had already entered Jizhou.

  They carefully circumvented Shi Le's sphere of influence, pretending to be merchants on their way, and the Zhao family soldiers who escorted them all put away their armor, but their backs were straight and their movements were restrained. At first glance, they were not ordinary guards.

  At a fork in the road, everyone stopped, waiting for Wei Jie and Zhao Xin to choose their way.

Wei Jie unfolded a small picture, compared it carefully, and then clicked on a certain place, saying: "We should be here. If we go west, we will reach Zhongshan County in two days. Liu Xi is there, and Wang Jun's army is also there." Outside Zhongshan County."

Zhao Dao said: "Then we have to pass through Changshan County, most of which is occupied by the Huns and the Han Kingdom. Although Liu Cong has retreated now, there are still many soldiers left. It is still in wartime, and the guards along the way are heavily guarded. I'm afraid we are not good. through."

  Wei Jie nodded, "So it will take a little longer for us to go this way, maybe four days."

   Detours are a bit of a detour, but it is safe. If the speed is faster, it is not impossible to arrive in three days.

  Wang Yu saw them talking together for a long time, so he couldn't help but go up to look at the map. Seeing that the map was fairly detailed, he asked, "I wanted to ask a long time ago, where did this map come from?"

  The half-grown boy Zhao Shi who came up to him immediately said proudly: "It was drawn by my third brother-in-law."

  Wang Yu: "Who is your third brother-in-law?"

  Zhao Shi: …

  Zhao Shi glanced at him, "Fu Tinghan, my third brother-in-law!"

  Xin Zhao smiled and said: "Fu Shangshu is very powerful. He found descriptions of mountains, rivers and roads from some classics and county annals, and he can draw a rough map based on them."

  The map that Taixue is currently drawing is presided over by him and Uncle Cheng. The small map given to us is only a part of the interception.

   Speaking of this, Xin Zhao has to admire Fu Tinghan's brain, without comparing the map, he can draw a small picture only by relying on his memory.

  He compared it with Wei Jie along the way, and the difference between the actual map and the map was only about two points. He noted down the differences and handed them over to Fu Tinghan for correction.

  Wei Jie accepted the picture and said, "Then let's take this road from the east."

  Everyone responded, got on their chariots and horses one after another, and turned to the east.

  They felt that it was safer to go east, but who would have thought that within half a day they would encounter a rebellious army head-on.

  The soldiers running towards us lost their helmets and armor, their hair was disheveled, and they were out of formation. It looked like a defeated army.

  Xin Zhao was taken aback when he saw it, and immediately ordered: "Hurry up and hide on the mountain!"

   But the speed of the rout army was not slow, and they soon ran into them head-on. They saw Xin Zhao and others with cars and horses. The cars behind them were covered with tarpaulins, and many boxes were tied.

  The defeated army's eyes lit up, and they rushed forward to grab it.

   Wei Jie's face turned pale, and said: "Cut off the rope, and lift up the belongings on the car, it's important to save the people first!"

  Zhao Shi is unwilling to give up, the third sister is so poor, these are all property to give to Wang Jun, lost, where can they find so many treasures to bribe Wang Jun?

  He snatched his spear from the personal guards, shot two soldiers directly, and said loudly: "You and I will meet the enemy with me. They are just a group of small deserters. Is it true that my Zhao family army is still afraid of them?"

  The soldiers gave a "drink", drew their knives out of the car one after another, and quickly lined up behind Zhao Shi.

  Xin Zhao and the others ran all the way up the mountain, and turned back all the way.

  Zhao Shi only looked back, and said loudly: "Don't worry, brothers, I will cut off the queen for you. You and Mr. Wei are envoys, so nothing will happen!"

  He shouted at Wang Yu: "General Zhonglang, the mission will be handed over to you!"

  Wang Yu also became serious, responded, and led the **** of the carriage and belongings up the mountain to avoid disaster.

  Zhao Shi led people to block their way up the mountain, staring at the approaching rebels with piercing eyes.
