has become a demon

Although Zhao Yuan left, there were still some traces.

The soldiers were ordered to light the stove, and according to statistics, there were only more than [-] people.

From Guihuacheng to Kaiping.Passing through the Zhangbei Grassland, a flat plain, six hundred miles away, the hasty march would only take ten days, and if he made it in time to return, he would be able to block Zhao Yuan in the middle.

Surrounded and suppressed 6000 people with [-] troops, and they were easily captured.

The purpose of going out to Kaiping this time was to kill Zhao Yuan, the remnant of King Su. If he could behead Zhao Yuan's head, his military exploits would be outstanding.

Han Chuanjun's team did not stop at the foot of the Yin Mountain to rest, but went straight to the east, refusing to stop.It was raining continuously, and the temperature difference on the grassland was huge, making everyone miserable.

But Tian Yunen yelled in the front row: "Hurry up, Zhao Yuan is at the front. Kill Zhao Yuan, everyone will be rewarded! Everyone will judge their achievements!"

"From Yinshan Mountain to Kaiping, [-] li, one map of Pingchuan, passing by Guihua City, passing through Yunchuan, Yulin, Dongsheng, Yulin, Zhangbei, Dushikou, and then reaching Kaiping."

Although he said it lightly when he broke out of the camp, King Su was on his way all the way, except for rest, he was on his way the rest of the time.

Xiao Jiang took the map and boarded King Su's chariot with other generals, and several people discussed the military situation in the chariot.

"Our direct dial came back with the news. Han Chuanjun's troops made some adjustments at the foot of Yinshan Mountain and did not rest. They have already caught up from behind, and they are less than 150 miles away from us." Xiao Jiang said.

"They bite really hard, and they can catch up in three days' journey." Kan Yufeng frowned, "5 people marched more than 600 miles, I thought they would have to rest for two days under the Yin Mountain..."

"Yufeng is in the north of Helan Mountain, and has little contact with Han Chuanjun." Xiao Jiang said with a wry smile, "He is extremely talented. He has gone through all kinds of battles, and he is invincible. He is good at deception, and he is also keen and vigilant. He is generally a marching strategy. It's hard to fool him. When he was in Xuanfu, he was already a well-known figure."

"Since you know the strategy, how come you don't know the reason why troops should be relaxed and relaxed?" Kan Yufeng asked, "The weather on the grassland is unpredictable. It's been a cold spring these days, with continuous rain mixed with hail, and the ground is muddy and swampy. The march is extremely difficult. The troops We have already traveled for ten days, and if we go on like this, we will run out of people and horses, are you afraid that we will take advantage of the vacancy and kill the carbine?"

"They have 5 horses, are they afraid that we will return the carbine? Maybe they are waiting." Xiao Jiang sighed after finishing speaking, "He chased desperately, and we could only be forced to escape. We were the ones who were deeply passive and unable to rest."

"If we arrive at Kaiping one step ahead of the plan and occupy Kaiping City, we can stay in the city for a while before we think of a way out." Tao Shaochuan interjected without knowing.

"It's too difficult." Xiao Jiang said in silence for a moment.

"Why?" Tao Shaochuan asked.

Even Kan Yufeng was silent this time.

"...Because Han Chuanjun killed Queen Su before Frost's Landing, he was afraid that Kaipingwei's subordinates would listen to me, and he was even more afraid that I would rely on Kaiping to make a comeback, so he killed all the important generals one by one, and burned Kaiping City, destroying the corpses and destroying the traces. Drive the civilians back to Baili, and designate them as the new Kaipingwei in the stockade at Dulongkou." Zhao Yuan said, "Now the old Kaipingwei only remains in ruins."

Tao Shaochuan was dumbfounded. After a while, he felt furious, and he patted the table and said, "Such a thief is also a big man? He deserves to be promoted steadily, to be the governor?!"

Zhao Yuan smiled: "It would be considered a great achievement to bring my head back to Zhao Ji. How could he not be in a hurry, and how could he not be dedicated?"

"The [-] army came from behind, why is your Highness so chatty and laughing?" Xiao Jiang asked, "There are pursuers behind, and the road ahead is bleak. We should plan the next step earlier."

"What do you think, Mr. He?"

Xiao Jiang pondered for a moment, then pointed to the road of Guihua City on the map: "There is another road, which bypasses Guihua City, crosses the Daqing Mountain, and goes to Lake Baikal. They are not in harmony. If we take refuge in Jurchen, we will have breathing space."

"No." Kan Yufeng raised his eyebrows, "If you go deep into the Tatars, has General Xiao considered the feelings of the people below? What's more, the Jurchens and Tatars are all alien races. Wouldn't it be true His Highness's treason to take refuge in the Jurchens? Not to mention anything else, Ganzhou , Will the people of Ningxia revolt and follow His Highness again? How does San Niangzi think of His Highness?"

"This is indeed the next strategy, but it is also a helpless strategy. Han Chuanjun keeps chasing and trying to put such pressure on us, forcing us to collapse, and turn around to fight him to the death. Because of this, if we don't die, it will be the greatest victory. The imperial court blindfolded me and slandered the Yuquanying brothers. We can only survive first, and if we survive, we will have a chance to turn things around. Only if we survive can someone tell the truth." Xiao Jiang said, "A villain's success is only a matter of time Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge."

What Xiao Jiang said was not unreasonable, and Kan Yufeng was somewhat persuaded.

He asked Zhao Yuan: "How does Your Highness decide?"

"What Jun He said is not unreasonable." Zhao Yuan said.

Everyone just settled down, and heard him say: "But I want to kill Han Chuanjun."

"Your Highness—"

"Now our strength is shallow, it's like hitting a stone with an egg." Xiao Jiang dissuaded faster than Kan Yufeng.

"I want to kill Han Chuanjun." He put down the map and repeated, "This time, in Kaiping."

"Can……"

"He wants to kill me for fame and fortune. I want to kill him for blood feud and common people. His heart is not right, his actions are not right. This is one of his mistakes." Zhao Yuan said, "He brought 5 people back to chase me This is the second mistake. He doesn't understand me, let alone the transformation I have experienced these days. This is the third mistake. One wrong move, and the whole game is lost .Throughout history, there are many battles where less wins more. As long as we seize the opportunity and fight with our backs, we will not necessarily lose."

He is clear, and the words he speaks are firm and resolute, and easily soothe people's hearts.

"It's been three months now, and half a year has passed since the Yiling Rebellion. If Zhao Ji's power is stable, there will be no possibility of Jingnan. If we want to think of Yijing Nan, we must send Zhao Ji's most trusted and well-equipped team as soon as possible. Destroyed. Zhao Ji lost his left and right arm, which weakened his deterrence to the government and the public, and other thoughts will naturally emerge in the hearts of the people."

"In Han Chuanjun's view, Kaipingwei was abandoned and there was only one ruin left. Going to Kaiping was like a dead end, waiting to die. But in fact, Kaiping should be his death place. Only when he dies can I live this game of chess. He owed a blood debt in Kaiping, and he repaid it in Kaiping. It is only right and proper.”

"What is your lord going to do?" Xiao Jiang asked.

"It's not too difficult." Xie Taichu, who had been sitting beside him quietly writing letters, raised his eyes, "Since he wants to pursue, we will give him bait and let him keep chasing. Don't forget that 5 people are ten thousand. He came out of Kaiping two days ago and has been running for ten days. Ten days ago, Kaiping was still warm, and now there is hail, and the temperature has dropped sharply. I am afraid that many soldiers will be hungry, cold and sick. He marched in a hurry, and the main force decided to travel lightly. Food, grass, warm clothes, meals, and medicines cannot be supplied...it must be embarrassing."

"Bait?"

"It's me." Zhao Yuan replied, "I have discussed with Taichu that we will take two thousand riders first, and enter Kaiping first, day and night."

"How can the prince be in danger?" Kan Yufeng and Xiao Jiang disagreed.

Xie Taichu raised his hand and placed the pen mountain in Kaiping.

"More than that, if Han Chuanjun's team reaches Kaiping, there may not be many left with the strength to fight. When he is breathing, my reserve force will directly attack the camp, kill Han Chuanjun, and win the battle."

Xiao Jiang asked: "The so-called follow-up forces are me and Yufeng?"

"That's right." Zhao Yuan said, "I have asked Taichu to take inventory of our army's food and grass, and keep it for ten days. All the remaining food, livestock, and money will be exchanged with Naizhen in Yulin, and then exchanged for three thousand Mongolian horses. Everyone has a more flexible way to migrate. When the two of us are besieged by Han Chuan's army in Kaiping, you can also surprise and kill Han with lightning speed."

"A fight to the death?"

"Fight to the death." Zhao Yuan said, "If you win, you will be Xintiandi. If you lose, it will be ashes to ashes and dust to dust."

This is crazy.

Almost a desperate gamble.

The carriage fell silent.

Kan Yufeng and Xiao Jiang looked at each other.

After a long while, Xiao Jiang thumped her knees and said, "The man will die in battle and be shrouded in horse leather! I, Xiao Jiang, swear to follow the prince to the death!"

Kan Yufeng also clasped her fists solemnly and bowed: "Everything is at the command of His Highness."

The team set up camp at the foot of Chilechuan that night.

Xie Taichu's letter sent the messengers to Guihua City quickly.

On the second day, it became even colder on the grassland.

After the army marched away for a while, it became quiet outside.

Zhao Yuan stopped the carriage and got out of the carriage first.

Although it was only half an hour later, the overcast clouds were low and the rain was continuous, and even the cold wind was blowing on the grass, showing a wet dark green in the dimness.

The rain fell in the cold wind, and many condensed into fine hailstones, which fell on the grass and young leaves, making crackling noises.

It's getting colder.

The ground is all muddy, and it has sunk as soon as you step on it.

Some depressions were filled with water and became puddles one after another. However, soldiers who had lived in the frontier for many years were familiar with this. Pioneers had already built bridges and paved roads in front of them, avoiding these places.

Kan Yufeng and Xiao Jiang are worthy of being the famous generals in Ganzhou and Ningxia. Six thousand soldiers from two or three places were assembled in an extremely orderly manner within a short period of time.

No one speaks, no one questions, and no one gets frustrated.

The team of 6000 people meandered into a long line, moving forward silently and quickly, disappearing behind the hill in front, heading towards Yulin.

After a while, the ground trembled faintly, and a line of people and horses appeared from that direction.

Then a large black cloud-like existence spread over the mountain, covering the wet grass.If you look carefully, it turns out that thousands of horses gathered together and came galloping.

The neighing of the horse resounded across the grassland, tearing apart the oppressive coldness, and even the black clouds couldn't help being separated. The sunlight shot through the gap on the ground, like a sharp knife inserted into the soil.

It seemed to indicate that on this criss-cross chessboard, the dangerous chess that was about to fall.
