A few days later, in an unknown ravine northwest of Yijing, Zhao Shuhao asked his subordinates with a tired look on his face:
"Has the Fengwu Army caught up..."
Facing Zhao Shuhao's inquiry, the equally tired subordinate shook his head and said:
"They probably didn't catch up!"
Hearing what his subordinates said, Zhao Shuhao let out a long sigh of relief and relaxed a little. After losing two thousand troops in the Songjiaji, he originally wanted to disappear for a few days and spend the limelight. Leng Zi, who was trying to figure out how to complete the task assigned to him by Zhao Yong, drew Feng Wujun.
But they never expected that before they disappeared, they would soon be targeted by the Fengwu Army cavalry. Zhao Shuhao had already inquired about the battle with the Fengwu Army cavalry before rushing to rescue them. It is clear that many of the cavalry generals in the Fengwu Army were monks on the way, and they were infantry generals who changed careers into cavalry.
Guo Zhiping, the general who is best at cavalry combat in the Fengwu Army, was born a bandit. This shows how good the cavalry of the Fengwu Army is. However, he is the most elite cavalry in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Youyan Iron Cavalry. Therefore, facing the cavalry of the Fengwu Army, , Zhao Shuhao was born with a sense of superiority, and regarded the cavalry troops of the Fengwu Army as local chickens and dogs, who could be defeated with just a few hits.
With this idea, Zhao Shuhao wanted to lead the army to fight, defeat the chasing Fengwu Army cavalry, and avenge the Song family collection...
However, as soon as the two sides fought, Zhao Shuhao discovered that he was wrong. Indeed, in terms of riding and shooting, horse breeds, and the purity of cavalry tactics, the Fengwu Army cavalry, which had just formed an army, was comparable to the Youyan cavalry, which had been famous for a long time and had great military achievements. It's not the same level, but it's not as bad as he imagined, to the point of being crushed by Youyan's cavalry.
In addition, this time to pursue Youyan Iron Cavalry, the Fengwu Army concentrated all the remaining cavalry from the First Division, the Second Division, and the Third Division. There were more than 5,000 people gathered together. After the battle of Songjiaji, Zhao Shuhao's men Only three thousand people remained.
If it were just three thousand against five thousand, Zhao Shuhao would be confident that he could kill the Fengwu Army's cavalry, but the key to the problem is that the Fengwu Army is equipped with firecrackers that are easy to shoot on horseback, and the emergence of such firecrackers has greatly This made up for the gap between them and Youyan's cavalry in cavalry and shooting. Supplemented by grenades and other firearms, it also caused a lot of casualties to Youyan's cavalry.
Therefore, although compared with the Youyan Cavalry, which has great military exploits and great reputation, the Fengwu Army's cavalry is still a "new army". However, because of its numerical advantage and firearm advantage, the Fengwu Army's cavalry also has a fight with the Youyan Cavalry. Evenly matched, no one is falling behind.
Not falling behind means danger for Zhao Shuhao. After all, in addition to cavalry, the Fengwu Army near Yijing also has tens of thousands of infantry. Therefore, the Fengwu Army's cavalry does not need to defeat them. They can only entangle them, and then Just call the infantry to encircle you...
Zhao Shuhao did not have any support, so whenever he was caught up by the Fengwu Army's cavalry, it meant that his men were forced to start running away.
Faced with such a situation, Zhao Shuhao did not think about making changes and tried to lure the enemy into outflanking the cavalry to eat the Fengwu Army's cavalry. However, the Fengwu Army's cavalry commander on the opposite side was also very smart and defeated him several times. He ate Zhao Shuhao's bait, but did not fall into the trap designed by Zhao Shuhao, which made Zhao Shuhao jump and curse.
Instead of trapping the opponent in several rounds, Zhao Shuhao's men actually lost more than a thousand people. Zhao Shuhao was also very helpless about this. The only thing that made him feel gratified was that although the fight on his side was very difficult, it was not as easy as expected. Relaxed, but according to his observation, the Fengwu Army seemed to have stopped attacking Yi Jing and concentrated all its efforts on them, so their sacrifice and efforts were still effective.
But before Zhao Shuhao could feel relieved for a while, one of his subordinates ran over in a panic and reported:
"Sir, the Fengwu Army is chasing us!"
Hearing this sentence, Zhao Shuhao was shocked at first, and then couldn't help but cursed bitterly:
"The Fengwu Army is such a bunch of bastards. They can keep up with them wherever they are..."
After complaining, Zhao Shuhao could only helplessly greet his subordinates, allowing these Youyan cavalry with glorious historical records to start a new round of running against the cavalry of the Fengwu Army.

··························
In the Zhuo County General Military Mansion.
Zhao Yong was sitting opposite a young man with a handsome face but pale skin. This young man was Zhao Jianwen, the second son of Zhao Fuqu, the governor of Youyan.
"Cousin, do you really want to send troops to rescue that bastard Zhao Jian'an?" The young man took a sip of tea and asked Zhao Yong anxiously:
Facing this young man's inquiry, Zhao Yong shook his head and said:
"I'm not saving Zhao Jian'an, I'm saving Yi Jing!
"Ye Mingsheng's Fengwu Army is sharp and fierce. Yi Jing is the foundation of our Zhao family's command. If Yi Jing is lost, our Zhao family is in danger of overthrowing!"
Zhao Jianwen nodded when he heard this but still said with great pity:
"My cousin's words are good, but it would be better if Ye Mingsheng, a wolf cub with an eagle eye and a wolf cub, kills Zhao Jian'an... ··”
After sighing with emotion, Zhao Jianwen seemed to have thought of something and said excitedly:
"That bastard Zhao Jian'an dared to forge a warrant from his commander-in-chief to ask my cousin to send troops for reinforcements. We will hand over the evidence when our commander-in-chief comes back. It will be enough for him to walk away without food."
A few days ago, Zhao Yong received Zhao Jian'an's request for help and Zhao Fuqu's order. A few days later, he received Zhao Fuqu's order again. Zhao Yong, who felt something strange, compared the two, and then carefully questioned the person who sent the letter. People are aware of the problem and see through Zhao Jianan's trick.
Although Zhao Yong was willing to help Zhao Jianan for the sake of the Zhao family, this did not mean that Zhao Yong would forget the grudges between him and Zhao Jianan. He immediately handed the evidence to Zhao Jianwen, preparing for Zhao Jianwen to have a good relationship with Zhao Jianan. Jian'an is playing against Taiwan, while he himself is sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight and sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai!
Zhao Yong smiled after hearing Zhao Jianwen's words, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, but there was a hint of disdain in his eyes that was not easy to detect. The Zhao family has now reached a life-or-death situation, and Zhao Jianwen is still thinking about how to fight among themselves. , how to get rid of his brother, what a complete idiot!
Although Zhao Jianwen has some literary talents, he is just talking about romantic affairs. Every day he is either eating, drinking, having fun, or having sex with all kinds of girls, young ladies and young wives. If it weren't for Zhao Fuqu's son, he would have been killed countless times. , if it were not for dealing with Zhao Jianan, he, Zhao Yong, would not cooperate with such a person who only knows empty talk.
But it doesn't matter if a idiot like Zhao Jianwen takes over, he can continue to grow bigger and stronger...
Although Zhao Yong is loyal to his uncle Zhao Fuqu, it does not mean that he will maintain the same loyalty to Zhao Fuqu's two sons. Everyone is named Zhao. How can the Zhao family be where it is today? How much effort did I, Zhao Yong, put in to tie his head to How many risks have you taken on your belt, how many open and covert arrows have you blocked? Why can you be the governor of Youyan, but I, Zhao Yong, can't?
Although he had his own plans in mind, seeing how eager Zhao Jianwen was to stab Zhao Jianan in the back, Zhao Yong couldn't help but admonish him:
"Ye Mingsheng's army is approaching. Brother Wen, please don't expose this matter first. Now our Zhao family has to unite at the moment of life and death! After we beat Ye Mingsheng away, Brother Wen, it won't be too late for you to deal with Zhao Jian'an. , the evidence is in your hands now, Zhao Jianan can’t you just handle it?”
Listening to Zhao Yong's advice, Zhao Jianwen seemed a little unhappy. Although Zhao Jianan was his brother, the two brothers had disliked each other since childhood. They had been incompatible with each other for a long time, and now they could get it. Zhao Jianan had the handle. Zhao Jianwen naturally hoped that the sooner the better, so he said:
"Cousin, are you a little too worried? Just because Ye Mingsheng brought our Zhao family to a life-or-death moment? The Fengwu Army was able to fight until now, not because of the sneak attack, and Zhao Jianan is a waste... ················”
"In my opinion, when Commander Father comes back from Jinzhong, the Fengwu Army should run away as far as possible. This time Ye Mingsheng entered the border and ruined Commander Father's good deeds. In my opinion, Commander Father will never take it easy." If you spare him, the Fengwu army will be defeated like a mountain in a thunderous rage!"
"In the past, we looked down upon Liaoyang. As long as Ye Mingsheng could honestly make firearms for us, we could let him go. Now that Ye Mingsheng dares to offend Tianwei, the father-in-law will definitely lead our invincible Youyan. The cavalry captured Liaoyang and killed the entire Ye Mingsheng clan as a warning. Only in this way can we vent our hatred!"
"Cousin, I heard that Ye Mingsheng's wife is An Miaoyi, the reincarnation of Bao Si. I have always wanted to meet her and see what she looks like. Is she as charming and gorgeous as the rumors say? Of all the women in this world, cousin, when you follow your father to conquer Dongning, you must hurt her and leave her to me!"
Listening to Zhao Jianwen's words and looking at his squinting expression, Zhao Yong was very speechless. He didn't know where Zhao Jianwen got such confidence. Now, Ye Mingsheng was advancing menacingly, and soldiers surrounded Yi Jing to overthrow them. The Zhao family's rule over Youyan drove them all to death. It was not their Yan army that surrounded Dongning...
Before the current difficulties have been overcome, you are thinking of conquering Liaoyang and thinking about Ye Mingsheng's female family members?
Have you played with N people too much and your head has been withdrawn?
Although he wanted to give Zhao Jianwen a slap in the face to calm him down, Zhao Yong restrained his impulse and explained to Zhao Jianwen sincerely:
"Brother Wen, we underestimated Ye Mingsheng before. This man is very good at concealing his disguise. Now this man has torn off his disguise and rushed over. Even if our army can repel him, it will be extremely difficult. !”
"I know Brother Wen that you want to kill Zhao Jian'an, and I want to help you kill him, but we can't be in a hurry now, and it depends on uncle's opinion. If you do too much, I'm afraid it's better than making uncle unhappy!"
Seeing Zhao Yong moving Zhao Fuqu out, Zhao Jianwen's face suddenly darkened. Just when he was about to say something, a messenger suddenly ran in, knelt on one knee and reported to Zhao Yong:
"The spies from Guangzong County are reporting to the Commander-in-Chief. The five thousand cavalrymen wandering near Guangzong County seem to have retreated. The garrison in Guangzong County now only has three thousand people left in the county..." ············”
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yong immediately stood up, his expression full of surprise. He ignored Zhao Jianwen who was beside him and laughed loudly and said excitedly:
"Ye Mingsheng, this thief, has been dragging me on for so many days, but he still tricked me by drinking the water I washed my feet with! Damn it, look at how I'm going to kill Ben Yijing!"
Seeing Zhao Yong so excitedly gearing up to help Yi Jing, the displeasure on Zhao Jianwen's face was even more obvious. In his eyes, Zhao Yong did this not for the Zhao family, but because he wanted to save Zhao Jianan, although he was dissatisfied. But because he still had to rely on Zhao Yong's military power, Zhao Jianwen still suppressed the anger in his heart and said to Zhao Yong:
"Cousin, don't forget that matter. You must ask Zhao Jian'an to kill Sun Zhunde. This old guy Sun Zhunde is full of evil. He has been hiding behind Zhao Jianan's plans on how to deal with us. This old guy won't die until he dies. We won’t have a good life!”
"As long as Zhao Jianan forces Sun Zhunde to death, Zhao Jianan's reputation will be completely ruined. I wonder who will dare to follow him in the future..."
At this time, Zhao Yong was thinking about how to capture Guangzong County so that he could help Yi Jing as soon as possible, save Yi Jing's crisis and save the Zhao family from disaster. This was not on the same page as what Zhao Jianwen was thinking, but in order to save Zhao Jianwen After coping with it, he naturally patted his chest and said:
"Brother Wen, just leave this matter to me, and you can see how I deal with Zhao Jian'an!"
Hearing what Zhao Yong said, Zhao Jianwen was somewhat satisfied. After chatting with Zhao Jianwen for a few more words, Zhao Yong finally sent him away. Looking at Zhao Jianwen's back when he left, the look on Zhao Yong's face His disdain was truly revealed. He spat on the ground and cursed contemptuously:
"A dandy is here to teach me how to do things, and he doesn't show off his own virtues. How could I care about you if it wasn't for the sake of the old Feng family?"
After scolding Zhao Jianwen, Zhao Yong didn't waste much time and immediately summoned his master and his trusted generals to hold a battle meeting. He wanted to fight Ye Mingsheng in a blitzkrieg with high-speed troops and quick victory. , before Ye Mingsheng noticed it, he had already captured Guangzong County...
