Boom! !
The sound of thunder continued, resounding in the air.
The strong wind blows so hard that pedestrians seem to be floating.
Fortunately, it is midsummer in July, and the weather is suddenly cloudy and windy, but it is not so hot anymore, and the journey is easier. Traveling under the scorching sun is very hard for an elderly person like Duan Jiao.
There is a strong wind now, and although it looks like it will rain heavily, it is still comfortable.
clatter! clatter!
The sound of horse hooves echoed in the wind, and Duan Jiao hurried back.
Duan Jiao rode his horse to run, but after running for a while, he saw lightning and thunder, and the sky was gloomy, as if it was about to collapse.
Tick tock! Tick tock! !
Big raindrops suddenly fell from the sky.
The raindrops splashed down and became denser in an instant, and countless dust rose from the ground. A pungent smell of dust filled the air, making people smell a little uncomfortable.
Duan Jiao didn't pay any attention to the rising smell. He only knew that it was raining and he was soaked all over. He instantly became a drowned rat.
Duan Jiao looked back and forth. The water mist rose, making the visibility low. He couldn't find his direction for a while and couldn't see any nearby villages.
If there is no village in the front and no store in the back, no one will come at all.
"well……"
Duan Jiao sighed.
After sighing, a smile appeared on Duan Jiao's face, and he murmured: "As the saying goes, misfortunes come with blessings. As soon as Your Majesty used me, there was a heavy rain. It's just that misfortune and misfortune come together."
"But, why should I, Duan Jiao, be afraid?"
"Even if it rains heavily, I can face it."
Duan Jiao didn't panic at all, he just slowed down and continued on his way. He walked for a while and found that it was difficult to move forward due to heavy wind and rain, so he stopped.
It was raining heavily, and Duan Jiao was riding his horse in the wind and rain, with no protection from the wind and rain.
Duan Jiao was soaked in the rain and was waiting for the heavy rain to lighten up. Suddenly he turned around and saw two carriages approaching from the corner of his eye.
At first, there were only vague shadows.
When the distance got closer, Duan Jiao could clearly see the two carriages. Just when he was about to talk and shouted to take shelter from the rain, he saw one of the carriages lift the curtain of the carriage door, revealing a familiar face.
It turned out to be Zhao Shan.
"Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Duan Jiao's face showed a look of shock.
He had already walked a long way, but he didn't expect Zhao Shan to come from behind. He just didn't know what Zhao Shan was doing out on a rainy day.
Zhao Shan put on his bamboo hat, put on his raincoat, and came down holding an umbrella, and strode up to Duan Jiao. Because Zhao Shan was tall and Duan Jiao was short, and his back was slightly hunched, it seemed that Zhao Shan was overlooking Duan Jiao from a high position.
Zhao Shan smiled and said: "Duan Qing, not long after you left, I noticed thunder rolling and dark clouds gathering, I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily. You came out without bringing anything with you. If it rains, wouldn't you be like a drowned rat?"
"I am here to deliver you clothes and a carriage."
Duan Jiao was stunned for a moment.
Is that it?
Will Your Majesty make a trip in person just for this matter?
However, his heart was not filled with the chill that had just been drenched by the heavy rain, but a wave of heat, and a different feeling seemed to have arisen in his heart.
It's respect!
Also valued!
She even considered him as her confidant!
Duan Jiao solemnly said: "Your Majesty, the heavy rain is pouring and the cold is getting worse. If your Majesty is infected with the cold because of me, wouldn't it be impossible for me to atone for my sin by dying?"
Zhao Shan smiled and said: "You are worth it!"
Duan Jiao felt warm in his heart and wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Zhao Shan reaching out.
Zhao Shan urged: "You go into the carriage first, prepare a set of clothes in it, and change your clothes. In the carriage, some dry food, wine, bamboo hats, raincoats, etc. are also prepared. You take the carriage and drive on the road."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Duan Jiao was moved and quickly entered the carriage.
Zhao Shan was not in a hurry to return to his carriage. After Duan Jiao had changed his clothes in the carriage, he followed him in and looked at Duan Jiao who simply dried his hair and changed his clothes. "
"He opened his mouth and said, "It's raining heavily right now. Duan Qing can wait a moment and continue on his way after the heavy rain ends. "
"I understand!"
Duan Jiao bowed his hands in agreement, his heart still filled with endless emotion.
He changed the subject and said, "There is one more thing, I almost forgot."
Zhao Shan asked: "What's the matter?"
Duan Jiao explained: "It's about General Yue Feipeng. He has been attacking Jinan County. It is a waste of time and troops. On the way back, I thought about General Yue Feipeng's situation."
"If he proceeds step by step and advances steadily to sweep through all the counties in Qingzhou, the speed will be too slow."
"Can General Yue please seize the time to go south, bypass Kong Shentong's jurisdiction, bypass the counties, and go directly south to attack the Qingzhou area near Xuzhou, for example, attack Donglai County in Qingzhou."
"After I return, I will advise Kong Shentong's army to quietly go south."
"At that time, both sides will go south at the same time and attack Xuzhou southward in one go."
Duan Jiao talked eloquently and said in a deep voice: "In short, if we want to attack Qi King Zhao Yue in Xuzhou, we can't attack little by little, or capture Zhao Yue in one go."
Zhao Shan smiled and said: "Duan Qing's strategy is feasible. I will arrange for someone to notify Yue Feipeng immediately after I return."
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
Duan Jiao took the initiative and said: "Your Majesty came here in the heavy rain. Don't get cold. Take the car back as soon as possible."
Zhao Shandao: "Duan Qing, see you in Qingzhou."
Duan Jiao said: "I am in Qingzhou, waiting for your Majesty's arrival."
Zhao Shan left Duan Jiao's carriage without saying anything more. After returning to his own carriage, he ordered Gao Yuan to drive back.
Duan Jiao was sitting in the carriage and saw the direction in which Zhao Shan was leaving through the carriage door curtain. He clasped his hands again and saluted Zhao Shan's carriage from afar, then ordered the coachman to hurry up and continue to return to Qingzhou.
